This is a terrific transaction that is the right thing to do for both the Time Warner Book Group and our shareholders. With its record-breaking performance in 2005, the Book Group is at the top of its game. To build on this success, however, it needs the scale and other advantages that come from being part of a larger, more global book publisher. This transaction also underscores our commitment to a strategy of managing closely related, industry-leading businesses to maximize shareholder returns. We wish our Time Warner Book Group colleagues continued success and the best of luck at their new home.

I'm pleased to report that our company once again posted strong results for the quarter. Revenues rose 4 percent and Adjusted Operating Income before Depreciation & Amortization (in short, OIBDA, the new metric that we are using to track profitability, which is roughly comparable to EBITDA) increased 11 percent.
