[QUOTE="Channahon, post: 164191, member: 7666"] Some info from the earnings report: For the full year of 2006, revenue rose almost 12%; operating profit increased 8%, and earnings per share climbed 11.2% to $3.86. The international business reached new heights, reporting more than $1.7 billion in operating profit. The company set a new record for package volume in 2006, delivering almost 4 billion packages or an average of 15.6 million per day. The fourth quarter produced solid earnings growth despite a slowing U.S. economy. Consolidated average daily package volume rose 3.3%, or 558,000 additional packages each day. Pricing remained firm around the globe. Consolidated average revenue per piece increased 2%. Ground volume posted a healthy [B]3.6%[/B] (Peak volume and internet sales) increase in the quarter. [B]Next Day Air[/B](R) volume [B]declined marginally[/B] and deferred volume was flat against strong prior-year results. Total international export volume grew [B]11.3%[/B]. Non-U.S. domestic package volume posted solid 4% growth as the company overlapped the effect of an acquisition. Keep in mind Fed Ex Air and Ground use to be our packages. The USPS had been our only competitor for a long time. Even USPS has cleaned up its image and is providing better service on packages. Don't be complacent. Keep up the great service [/QUOTE]
