“We have accomplished what we said we would after a challenging first quarter of the fiscal year,” Company Leader Charles D. Morgan said. “We met or exceeded all of our fiscal year Financial Road Map targets for total company performance and U.S. results. International revenue results for the year were at the high end of the revised Road Map range that we set after Q1 and exceeded the adjusted operating margin target for the full year that we set after Q3 results. Our cash flow reached a record level, we have an impressive list of new contracts and the committed pipeline is promising. Based on our team’s execution of the strategies for the business, we are confident that the revenue and earnings will be in line with the fiscal 2007 projections in the Financial Road Map.”
