Gerry Holthaus, Chairman, President and CEO, commented, "Our financial performance in 2006 exceeded our expectations as we achieved record earnings results for the year. Our leasing business continues to show strong results as indicated by our 18% improvement in revenue and a 2.8 percentage point increase in gross margins from the prior year. We are focused on our continued efforts to sustain and build relationships in areas such as the education, healthcare and government arenas which have had a positive effect on both our leasing and sales performance. We are also excited about our expansion in our foreign markets, which increase our geographic diversity, with our recent acquisitions in Spain and Mexico and the continued growth experienced in Canada. Our success in 2006 could not have been accomplished without the dedication and industry expertise of our Williams Scotsman employees throughout the Company.
