Fourth Quotations | Page 5

Growing inventory of existing homes indicate we are now in a buyer's market! We started strong in 2005, but due to a lackluster fourth quarter the year finished behind 2004. Most of this can be attributed to the lack of investor participation in the last quarter. Sales for 2005 were about 5 percent below that of 2004.

Give it to Raft River. We had them by 10 in the fourth quarter and they came back to within one.

Given that oil production has reversed somewhat in the past few months and the hurricane insurance pay-outs will not recur, we expect the deficit to narrow sharply again in (the fourth quarter of) 2005.

Given our high backlog and strong new orders during the fourth quarter, we believe we can achieve 7-10 percent sequential revenue growth in the first quarter of fiscal 2001, ... Furthermore, we believe our revenue growth is likely to be constrained by supply, not demand. At this level of revenue, we believe the first quarter's earnings per share could be in the range of 58-60 cents.

Given our excellent position in the communications and electronics markets and our strong backlog levels, we continue to feel comfortable with fourth quarter earnings per share of 39 cents.

Give credit to them (for coming back in the fourth quarter), but any win is a good win, especially on the road.

Getting picked to finish fourth or fifth in the ACC was like a slap in the face to us. That was based solely on teams having more talent than us, but that doesn't mean they're better than us. You can't look at what people had in the preseason anymore, though -- you have to evaluate teams on what they're doing right now.

Giacomo was running third, second, fourth and hadn't won.

Franklin High is here and Amity added some tough kids. Look at New Milford. They were second last year and they're fourth this year. Fourth with a good team that is top 10 in the state. We added some tough teams to the tournament this year.

Four or five of those horses can really smoke. We'd like to sit fourth or fifth.

Four goals is a good night for us, but we should have had more. We let them back in the game, but we continued to attack and that made us more dangerous as far as getting that fourth goal.

Four-to-8 percent is slower than you would normally expect to get out of the fourth quarter. We're being a little cautious and we're going to watch and see what develops.

Fourth row is obviously not where we want to be, but one of the positives that has come out of it is that we are nearly one and a half seconds quicker than we were last year ? so that shows the improvements made to the bike.

Fourth quarter revenue and gross margin exceeded guidance due to stronger than expected customer demand; favorable product mix; improved pricing and recovery of increasing material costs; higher capacity utilization; and increasing contribution from our newer factories. As a result, gross margin rose to 24.2% from 16.4% in the third quarter.

Fourth quarter results from continuing operations met or exceeded our long-term targets for earnings, revenues and, on a pro forma basis, return on equity. Higher spending by affluent consumers, small businesses and corporate Card members more than offset the impact of an industry-wide spike in bankruptcy filings before new legislation went into effect last October.

Fourth quarter probably marked the trough although we could see an equally weak number in the first quarter.

Fourth quarter consumer spending is coming in a lot lower. It looks like it's going to be somewhere in the neighborhood of 1.5 percent -- that is, unless December turns out to be a blockbuster month.

Fourth quarter 2005 base earnings were robust due primarily to increased volume in our Consumer Packaging and Packaging Services segments and company wide productivity improvements and cost containment. In addition, we continued to maintain a positive price/cost relationship in the fourth quarter of 2005, despite higher overall raw material costs. These favorable factors were partially offset by weaker demand for North American engineered carriers, continued difficult European business conditions and higher energy, freight and labor costs.

Fourth is a great result for our situation. Today really goes to my crew because they worked so fast to get those things done and get us back out there.

Fourth down, no timeouts. That's what the Trojans are all about.

Fourth down, man, ... When the pressure is on, you want the ball to come to you. But man, it's still a scary situation.

Fourth-and-26. I mean, that's like fourth and forever.

From a financial perspective, fiscal 2005 milestones include record sales contracts in the fourth quarter and fiscal year, positive cash from operations in all four quarters, strengthening of our balance sheet following a $5.5 million private placement, and a promising sales pipeline in each of our key target markets - education, corporate and consumer. As a result, we are well positioned to continue our sales growth and cash positive trends into fiscal 2006.

From fourth until sixth, there was less than a point between all of them. It's the second Grand Prix in a row that Wallace has qualified for the final.

From everything I've heard and read, I feel comfortable. But no one from management told me I'm the fourth outfielder, so I'm a little on edge.

Gain-on-sale margins recovered nicely, and production volumes showed good growth, both year-over-year and over the fourth quarter.

G6 sales were up significantly in the fourth quarter of 2005 and are actually growing when the mid-size car market is shrinking.

From what I've gathered, linebacker is the deepest position. There are going to be a couple of diamonds you can find in the third, fourth and fifth rounds.

Fulton made a decent comeback in the fourth quarter, but our guys calmed down and played good basketball over the last three minutes. We really played unselfish basketball and this was another great team effort.

Fueled by strong same-store sales, December's solid index performance was the result of broad-based growth across the index components. Three out of five restaurant operators reported a same-store sales gain in December -- the strongest level in 12 months. In addition, the Expectations Index posted its fourth consecutive monthly increase, which points toward growth in sales, staffing levels and capital expenditures during the next several months.

Fundamentally, this company depends on capital spending coming back, and I think IT spending will come back in the fourth quarter,

From those few pending questions which the Commission would be called upon to solve at its fourth session, the most important one was the entry into force of the treaty.

If all parties could take a commitment to commitment and action to action based on the joint statement reached during the fourth round of the talks, and earnestly push forward the discussion and agree to take further steps, there would be a positive result.

I don't think we'll have too much confidence going into this week's game because of the way we've played in the fourth quarter.

I expect these four seniors will do a very fine job of leading the team back to the state tournament, and a strong finish once we get there. But we have some talented sophomores, and it's common for one of four guys to have an off day. What we're looking for now is to see who will be that 'fifth' ? the guy who can fill in and take up the slack at that fourth spot.

I don't think it's kosher to compare with the fourth quarter of last year because that was an entirely different price environment.

From the line I was concentrating. I was a machine. I like scoring, especially from the free throw line, especially in the fourth quarter, especially with the game on the line.

For three quarters, we played great. But we need to put that into 32 minutes instead of just three quarters. Even though we did turn the ball over in the fourth quarter, we still found a way to get the job done.

For whatever reason, I'm really, really focused in the fourth quarter. I know that's winning time. My teammates put me in great positions, and Coach has a lot of confidence in me.

Fortunately, it worked out that way. I didn't inquire as to how many ounces it took, but apparently it was sufficient to rejuvenate him. There were no problems in the fourth quarter, so obviously it served its purpose.

For most of the race (Murphy) was fourth or fifth. He broke out the last half-mile and passed three runners. Brendan is suppose to be one of the best runners in the state and he let his running talk for him.

Give Robert Morris a lot of credit. I thought they played like a team desperate to get that fourth seed and the home game. They showed great focus and determination to win this basketball game.

Give Rancho credit. They played hard. We don't have a good history in this gym. I'm happy with the way we gutted it out in the fourth quarter. Different guys did it for us at different times with Donald coming through at the end. He's a clutch player.

Global Services results are disappointing, especially a $2 billion drop in its backlog in the fourth quarter. And a 9% decline in new contract signings? That means that the biggest IBM unit is losing more business from its backlog than it is signing.

If it comes down to me leading them in the fourth quarter and putting the ball in my hands, I'll take my chances. I'm an older guy, and we have a lot of new guys. Hopefully, they will listen to me so we won't be on the roller coaster ride that we were on last year. We have to change our state of mind.

If it weren't for low fuel prices, industry profits would be down significantly in the fourth quarter.

I got a little tired after awhile and I made some mistakes. You can't make mistakes against good teams. I feel good about the first three innings but I have a little bit of a sour taste in my mouth because of the fourth and the fifth.

If we were going to fail, we would've failed by now. We are about to celebrate our fourth anniversary on Oct. 7 and we are starting to plan events for next year, when we have our fifth anniversary. We're here for the long term. We're financially stable.

If we play 11-minute fourth quarters instead of 12, we would have beaten them two years in a row,

If that's how you judge me as a football player, then you need to go continue judging me. Me not hitting 1,000 yards doesn't make me any less of a receiver. It would have been an accomplishment to go over 1,000, but we didn't even pass the ball but once or twice in the fourth quarter.

If that happens in the fourth quarter, it's nice but you're not beaming. But I looked out there and all the numbers are the kids I remember from last season, so that was good.

If Texas can hang on and get into the fourth quarter and wear them out, they could beat Ohio State, ... I picked Ohio State to play for the national championship, but I love Texas, too.

If the dollar gets above the level we saw in the fourth quarter, then there will start to be a slight detriment to earnings. The dollar index would have to rise by about 3 percent from where it is now to start even showing up as a slight impact.

If the GDP gets revised downward, it's a negative for the markets. If it stays anywhere within the expected range, it gives credence to that the fourth quarter was some economic trough.

If the HSI falls below the major support at the 50-Day moving average of 15,314, it might have a negative impact on the recent rally seen in third and fourth liners stocks.

If someone was worried about the fourth quarter this may have alleviated that.

If it requires us sacrificing short-term growth or sacrificing long-term growth to make sure we're adding profitable subscribers, that's a trade-off we'll make. We knowingly made some of those trade-offs in the fourth quarter.

I always say that on the road you want to give yourself a chance to win in the fourth quarter.

He (Welch) missed an extra point, and he missed a 40-yarder early in the fourth quarter. But he connected when it counted. He hit it well, right down the middle.

He won first time out around two turns at Delaware and then ran fourth in the Champagne. He's the best 3-year-old I have here as far as distance goes. He's got a lot of potential.

He was trying to do too much too quick when he got in there. We told the kids at halftime that going into the fourth quarter, we wanted that lead cut in half. We did better than that.

He scored 33 against us the last two times we've played them. I put Robert Scott on him and he did a tremendous job. Craig only had seven points at the end of the fourth quarter.

He had a tough night against us last time, but he was having a tough night against us in Miami, too, before he got going in that fourth quarter. It is what it is. I'm looking forward to it, though. It's always nice to play them.

He had some key shots for us as well as hitting a 3 in both the third and fourth quarter.

He has lost his way, and I think he needs to be replaced in the team before the fourth Test at Trent Bridge.

He had me lean over the back of the chair and hold onto it with my hands underneath the seat. He hit me once and I cried. He let me be for a while. Then he said, 'If you don't hurry up and move your hands, I'll break your finger.' By the fourth or fifth time I didn't feel it anymore, but each time it was hard enough to move my chair forward.

He got hot in the fourth quarter and that's what great shooters always do. Kudos to him, he did a great job.

He gets to the net and uses his speed. When you have speed on the penalty kill, it's a pretty good thing. It's useful for us. On your fourth line, you want energy and guys to be momentum shifters. When you have speed like Brownie has, it enables you to change the tempo.

He made the right read and the right calls a couple times. That's what he faces in the fourth quarter. He does not face single coverage. He faces double coverage, triple coverage a lot of times in the fourth quarter. The people around him have to make plays.

He made some mistakes, but from the fourth inning on, he located the ball.

He looked like Barry. He's just the fourth guy in their lineup, just as dangerous as a lot of other fourth guys. You don't focus too much on him, or the other eight guys are going to kill you.

He'll be playing out on the perimeter a lot, ... How much, I don't know. He might start there the first and third quarters and play a power position in the second and fourth quarters.

He (Mourning) came in there in that fourth quarter for about a four or five minute stretch where his intensity and his energy were more hurtful than anything. Not only did it energize the crowd, but it energized the other players on his team.

He missed a couple of days of practice. He went to the doctor to get some antibiotics. By the fourth quarter he was on fumes.

This was one of the more unselfish games we've played. The kids were looking for each other. Even the jayvees in the fourth quarter were looking to get the ball to those who hadn't scored. It was nice to see.

We expect to see overall DRAM pricing soften during the fourth quarter - maybe down 5 percent - but the decline will be within the manufacturers' normal cost reduction level.

We expect to post an operating loss here in the fourth quarter and do not anticipate a significant improvement in this business until 2001.

What do I think about that? I think this is the fourth season and Mr. Trump is going after ratings,

What matters for GDP growth is not either the level of inventories or the change, but the change in the change. That's going to be quite positive. Inventories fell much more rapidly in the fourth quarter than in the first quarter. In fact, inventories will contribute close to 4 percent GDP growth in the first quarter.

We talked about that (Saturday), that if it came down to the fourth quarter, we wanted it on our backs. We wanted to be the ones to go out there and get the job done.

We've been trying to change the perception of this club for a while and you only get that change of perception of the team by performances on the field. The performances this season have been to a really high standard, hence we're in fourth spot in the competition, and rightly so at the moment.

We're proud of the boys and competed hard. If we play like we did in the first and fourth quarters, then we'll have a chance tonight.

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.

We're proud of our fourth quarter, and we're back.

We took the ball to the hole; we just didn't make the shots. We didn't play good defense in the fourth quarter. And if we make half of the free throws we missed, we only lose by one.

We took a couple steps backwards. The last couple of games we were focused in the fourth quarter and pretty much could get the job done. Tonight, we didn't do that.

We talked a lot about ... showing more heart and hustle and trusting one another on the floor. We were able to do that in the fourth quarter tonight. We never gave up and came together in a different kind of way, in a more helter-skelter kind of way. But it worked for us and that's something to build upon.

We're only in the third or fourth inning, there's still a long way to go.

We're now looking at a 3 percent first quarter on top of that 1.4 percent fourth quarter. We've been the optimists, and I haven't been optimistic enough.

We've been working a lot on ourselves this week. We've had good leads in both of our games so far going into the fourth quarter and then we kind of slacked up and let them (Stringer and Pisgah) come back.

We've got to step up our conditioning. I was surprised to see them getting winded in the fourth quarter.

We've got to keep our composure and not let getting down by a couple of points affect us. It's pretty important to get a nice cushion. But we're also pretty confident in ourselves in the fourth quarter. If we're in a tight game in the fourth quarter, we're pretty confident we'll pull away with it.

We've got to improve on our play in the fourth quarter. That's the area we've got to tighten up.

We told the guys coming in that their pressure was going to be the key and fourth quarter their pressure got to our guards and we didn't get the ball inside like we did the first three quarters.

We are focused right now on profitability. Our mantra was to get big fast, and we did get very big very fast. Our emphasis is to get an operating profit in the fourth quarter.

We are extremely pleased with our overall results for fiscal 2001, particularly the strength of our fourth quarter,

We are extremely pleased with our fourth quarter results, which exceeded our expectations. We continue to see sharp increases in the number of users to the site and the number of pages read, and an even larger percentage increase in our revenue.

We canceled the Fourth of July concerts. Every year that was a money loser. If someone had come along and sponsored it, that would have been fine, but year after year it was a money loser.

What you're seeing is a little bit of an economic stall, maybe in the fourth quarter and the first quarter.

What we were trying to do was get to the fourth quarter. And we couldn't get there. They could score so fast. It messes you up. They're the best offensive team I've seen, absolutely.
