 Earnings have suffered this quarter and throughout the year as we have changed the composition of our company and implemented the most complex rail merger in history, ... We had difficulty handling strong fourth-quarter demand and changing traffic flows, particularly in the northwestern sector of our new, combined rail network. As a result of this congestion, locomotive, equipment and crew costs were much higher than we expected.

 Our earnings performance in the fourth quarter met expectations with increased gross margins, lower costs and operational improvements. We delivered another quarter - and another year - of earnings growth.

 We've had a big stock run since hitting the lows last March. Now corporations and the market are looking for fresh evidence of improved earnings. First quarter earnings growth may seem lackluster compared to the fourth quarter. I think rather it will be the second-quarter earnings that impress.

 We're proud of our record fourth-quarter results and fourth consecutive year of double-digit earnings increases despite rising funding costs and related industry-wide pressure on margins.

 Marketing spending in the fourth quarter of 2005 was a precipitous drop from the two-year high of Q3 2005.

 2005 was a banner year for Nextel Partners. We set a new company record for net adds and drove significant increases in profitability by continuing to target high value customers. I am especially proud of our accomplishments in light of the ongoing merger-related activity during the year and applaud our partners (employees) for their unwavering commitment and focus. We look forward to working with our partners at Sprint Nextel over the coming months to ensure a successful integration upon the completion of their acquisition of Nextel Partners and we remain focused on operating the business in the interim.

 Overall, the quarter is going to be excellent. We think it will match the 23.6 percent earnings growth for the first quarter, which was the highest we'd seen since back in the fourth quarter of 1993. It's going to be a very good quarter for earnings despite all the pessimism here during the peak time of pre-announcements. But pre-announcements are running a little bit less negative than they usually do so I think it's a bit of an over-reaction.
