Lowe's has tempered its financial policy with respect to shareholder returns during this downturn, as well as slowed its new store expansion program, both of which have provided critical support for the ratings at this time. The challenging macroeconomic environment, particularly the severe downturn in the housing market, has negatively impacted Lowe's operating performance. With housing values and therefore home equity depressed, a key source of revenue for Lowe's and the entire home improvement segment has basically dried up. Until signs of a housing and consumer recovery are on the horizon, Lowe's operating performance will likely continue to be pressured. Corporate Profile...

I am Colin McGranahan, the hardlines retail analyst here at Sanford Bernstein. I would like to be one of the first to welcome you to the ##th Annual Strategic Decisions Conference. Before we get started, just a couple minor protocol issues. If you have a cell phone, if you could please turn that to vibrate or turn it off. And secondly, you should have notecards on your chair and those are for questions. So if you could please go ahead and fill those out and we will be collecting those during the fireside chat here and we will be sure to try and get to as many of those as possible. Today's format is a little bit of a twist on what we typically do. We are calling this a fireside chat and a little bit more of an intimate presentation here. And we will try to cover some of the key topics and then, of course, leave plenty of room for questions and answers at the end. ...
