Aggressive Quotes
Vendors experienced significant growth in the color page printer market due to aggressive pricing, as the average selling price of these devices declined 21 percent in 2005. Monochrome page printer shipments remain strong due to the growth in small and midsize business (SMB) and remote workers that need inexpensive printers.

Agencies Quotes
Like everybody else, we have heightened concern about who we release information to.

Announced Quotes
Last year, quarterly mobile phone shipments didn't reach 200 million units until the end of the fourth quarter when vendors were keeping the channels' shelves stocked for the holiday rush. As vendors announced new products earlier this year and accelerated their time to market, we've already reached this milestone.
-
Arising Quotes
Kmart's significant losses and sales decline in the first quarter reflect the many challenges the company faced in the period following our voluntary Chapter 11 filing, ... These challenges included reduced inventory levels as vendors withheld shipments in the early days of the reorganization and reduced store traffic arising from the bankruptcy filing.
-
Data Quotes
Ironically, with all this strength, the net effect of these data on the fourth-quarter GDP number could be flat or possibly even marginally negative. This is because durable goods inventories were flat, which should more or less offset the positive influence of the stronger-than-anticipated December shipments figures. For first quarter GDP, however, these data are unambiguously positive.

Address Quotes
Receiving the Excellence in Claims/Loss Prevention Award three times in the past five years demonstrates ABF's commitment to proper cargo handling. We recognize that each pallet, carton or box is a critical part of our customers' business and that loss, damage or delay harms that business, ...

When specific problem areas are uncovered, we use focus groups and the ABF Quality Process to address the root causes; we typically involve our customers and dock employees in this effective problem resolution process. This approach has positioned ABF as the premiere LTL carrier when it comes to delivering shipments on time, intact, and damage free.

Achieve Quotes
Order rates continue to be strong and we're executing effectively to increase our shipments to support end market demand. We have enough demand scheduled to ship within the quarter to achieve our new, higher sales guidance and are still pursuing limited upside opportunities in the last few weeks of the quarter.
-
Consequences Quotes
Looking to the remainder of our fiscal year, we anticipate stronger fourth quarter sales, but expect a much weaker third quarter in light of continued delays in our customers' purchasing decisions. In response, we have cut back our production of potash and phosphates to limit increases in our inventories, especially because of current high raw material costs, and to better match supply with current purchasing activity. As a consequence, the industry may face acute logistical challenges when spring season begins if domestic shipments don't accelerate soon.
-
Adding Quotes
While consumer confidence is beaten down at present, a strong influx of public and private rebuilding dollars for the Gulf will in large part offset the negative effect of higher energy costs. We are currently projecting that U S trailer shipments in 2005 will be around 253,000 units, with containers, chassis and dollies adding another 36,000 units.
-
Absolute Quotes
We effectively managed our distribution channel to closely match our shipments in with distributor sales out. Channel re-sales were seasonally down about 3% during the first quarter but were more than 17% higher than a year ago. We managed our sales into the channel to this level of re-sales, resulting in a slight decrease in absolute inventory levels for approximately flat weeks of supply in the channel compared to the prior quarter.

China Quotes

-
Allow Quotes
We have already started to discuss this issue with Chinese oil companies. We would like to have a firm in the People's Republic of China that would allow us to operate on the retail market. We would be more eager to make much larger shipments to China if we had an opportunity to sell oil products in that country.

-
Although Quotes
There is a clear improving trend in orders which provides support for the recovering manufacturing sector, ...

Attributes Quotes
Consumers want their content portable, and the 79 percent increase in shipments of mobile disk drives into consumer devices in 2005 over 2004 is evidence of this dynamic. IDC attributes this growth to a combination of innovative disk drive designs and effective integration of HDD technology into consumer devices by companies like Toshiba.
-
Due Quotes
Ericsson said orders as a whole remain strong, but it is just seeing a push out in most mobile system shipments due to economic uncertainty as well as slower subscriber growth in the U.S. as subsidies have been cut. Fewer subscribers means lower phone use, which translates into slower systems build-out, which is what we are seeing in the U.S.
-
Decline Quotes
A decline in shipments following the holiday quarter is expected of mature markets, and the handheld devices market is no different. After nine consecutive quarters of year-over-year decline, many are wondering how long this trend will continue, and whether the market will see a reverse.
-
Action Quotes
Action taken by Japan today to halt U.S. beef imports is an unfortunate temporary setback to U.S. cattle producers, particularly in light of recent success to re-open the market. The vertebral column found in the shipments does not pose a health risk since the animal was less than 30 months of age.
-
Businesses Quotes
The year is turning out as planned, ... As expected, the ramp-down of our turbine shipments in the first half created earnings pressure. However, we are executing with broad-based strength to generate significant growth in the second half. We see nine of 13 businesses growing in double digits and more favorable comparisons in power systems and insurance.

Aircraft Quotes
It's pretty clear that all the pieces for capital spending are in place, including rising sales, lower inventories and increases in shipments and orders, ... So, despite what CEOs say in public, there's no question that capital spending -- outside of aircraft and telecommunications -- has bottomed and is on the way up.
-
Continued Quotes
Their PC shipments look like they're going to be up 25 percent, better than expected. Hewlett has had a nice run in here...we think it should be part of a continuing solution for the problem of higher labor costs. The continued substitution of technology for labor will maintain margins.
-
Additional Quotes
In the current investment climate, it is apparent that NGN deployment cycles are going to be pushed out several years, which means the gateway approach is a viable means to 'sweat' additional Internet-related service revenues from the PSTN. While unit shipments of gateways will increase at a healthy rate over the forecast period, worldwide sales revenue is showing only modest growth as competition beats down prices and IMS-compliant gear begins to grab a foothold by simplifying interoperability requirements and thereby reducing the need for gateways.
-
Balance Quotes
Grain shipments are beginning to bounce back to levels reflective of the high volumes produced in 2004 and 2005. The Canadian Wheat Board's (CWB) recent take-up of grain offered for sale by farmers and the steady delivery of non-CWB grains and oilseeds despite current commodity prices are reasons for increasing optimism about grain shipments over the balance of the fiscal year.
-
Adopting Quotes
The IEEE's recent approval of a draft 802.11n standard was sorely needed. In recent quarters the consumer market for WLAN equipment has stagnated, especially from a revenue perspective, because 802.11g-based products have been in the market for three years, and consumers have not seen a cost-benefit to upgrading to 802.11a. Due to its better coverage and higher data rates, 802.11n will likely become a key enabling technology for distributing video to multiple devices in the home. We expect 802.11n will comprise 90 percent of the consumer WLAN shipments in 2009. We also expect enterprises to begin widely adopting 802.11n in 2009, once this new technology has become established in notebook computers.
