“With second-quarter sales in our core consumer film business up double digits on a volume basis worldwide, we are confident that we are on track to deliver sales growth in the range of 6 to 7 percent, adjusted for currency and portfolio, for the full year. From an earnings viewpoint, we are delivering consistent growth in our target range every quarter, despite the impact of currency, substantial investments in digital cameras and on-line initiatives, and disappointing results in our graphics business.”
Daniel Carp

Phil Dow
“It's been a steady quarter in terms of pricing and volume, with the shorter quarter making the headline numbers look a little soft.”
Daniel Popowics
“Market momentum in the blade market continued in the quarter with blade volumes up 50% year over year. Blade shipments increased more than 60% year over year in 2005 as IT managers began to adopt blades as a standard building block in their virtual IT infrastructures.”
