Year Ended March 31,
Total costs and expenses decreased $39.9 million for fiscal 2006, compared to fiscal 2005. Total costs and
expenses for both insurance companies decreased $43.3 million due primarily to reductions in benefits and losses.
Fiscal 2005 included a $10.6 million charge for litigation at Oxford not present in fiscal 2006. Increases in
operating costs associated with the improved business volume at Moving and Storage were offset by reductions in
repair and maintenance expenses related to rotating the fleet. Trucks with higher maintenance costs are being
replaced by new trucks with lower initial maintenance costs.
In our second quarter of fiscal 2006, hurricanes Katrina and Rita struck the Gulf Coast of the United States
causing business interruption to a number of our operating facilities. We identified customers impacted by the
hurricanes and our rapid response teams provided a variety of solutions to divert operations to alternate facilities and
restore operations where possible. We have been able to redeploy assets and employees to service our customers in
cases where the facilities remain inoperable or have not returned to full operating capacity. We lost approximately
150 trucks and 150 trailers during and after the devastation caused by these hurricanes. We maintain property and
business interruption insurance coverage to mitigate the financial impact of these types of catastrophic events. Our
insurance deductible is $500,000 and was recorded in our second quarter.
During fiscal 2006, the Company received insurance proceeds of $4.8 million, of this amount $4.5 million was
applied to the losses incurred on trucks and trailers and $0.3 million was applied to the losses sustained at operating
facilities. The net book value of the trucks and trailers lost during the 2005 hurricanes approximates $1.1 million.
Additional insurance recoveries are expected as facilities are fully restored and claims are filed.
As a result of the aforementioned changes in revenues and expenses, earnings from operations improved to $305.4
million for fiscal 2006, compared with $167.0 million for fiscal 2005.
