Chief Financial Officer Dale Williams stated, "In addition to our increased financial guidance for 2010 we believe we are well positioned for substantial growth in sales, earnings and cash flow, with limited capital expenditures, over the next several years. After considerable evaluation of our capital structure, we continue to view share repurchases as an excellent means to return value to shareholders over the long term."
