Our performance this quarter demonstrated once again that our focus and execution on long-term financial priorities translates to sustained profitable growth and a strong competitive advantage.

It has really kicked in these last few years. It's a matter of focus and execution with what we do best.

2005 was a year where our continued focus on execution paid off. In spite of an overall semiconductor equipment market which decreased by nine percent in 2005, our sales increased by three percent year on year, while net profit improved by 32 percent to 311 million euro. Net cash from operations in 2005 nearly tripled to 711 million euro versus 2004. We reinforced our market position, as we gained 12 new customers in 2005, including our sixth customer in Japan. With 13 immersion systems delivered to date, 13 immersion orders already in our backlog, and 8 pending orders, we are increasing our technology lead in the race to meet customer needs for new generation semiconductor products.

Other than the penalties (six for 57 yards), I was very happy with our performance. Our execution and defense was very good. I'm happy with being able to shut out Lakeview.

It's time to focus on execution of strategy.

With a CSA, the focus is shifted from responding to individual incidents to optimizing overall plant performance for the long term. Contractual guarantees place GE squarely in the same risk/reward position as the plant owner, creating a partnership that works toward the same business goals.
