"As we enter 2006, we are focused on strengthening our foundation for long-term success through strategies targeted at accelerating our growth with casual consumers, re-asserting our heritage strengths in the outdoor and industrial categories and through the expansion of our new brands - SmartWool(R), Mion(TM) and Timberland Boot Company(TM). While we anticipate continued growth challenges in our U.S. boot business, which will pressure 2006 financial results, we believe the strategies we are advancing will strengthen our brand and business portfolio and enable us to capture the significant potential we see for Timberland."
