Suffice to say that UST continues to buck the trend. Even though we're seeing cigarette consumption weaken in recent months, the smokeless tobacco category has continued to grow at a very robust pace. And even with a still sizeable price gap versus the discount brands, UST premium brands are showing positive volume growth. And even with the major cigarette companies now competing in smokeless, UST continues to show resiliency here. So with this as a backdrop, I think we're going to let Murray speak for five or ten minutes and then we can open it up for Q&A. Before that, I think Ray has some disclosure. ... 5/13/2008 12:14:00 AMUST Inc.54.0000FinalUST Inc. at Goldman Sachs Consumer Products Conference TranscriptUST3:50pm ETTranscriptT1837504Credit & Investment ResearchThomson Street Eventshttp://www.alacrastore.com/storecontent/ccbn/B1819189ccbn/B1819189norm...Increased net sales #.#% behind a #% increase in total unit volume and a #.#% increase in premium unit volume.... 4/24/2008 1:13:00 PMUST Inc.54.0000EditedQ1 2008 UST Inc.

The company's success has been driven by its leading position in the moist smokeless tobacco (MST) business, with more than a 60% share of the total U.S. retail snuff volume. In addition, the company holds a significant share of the highly profitable premium moist smokeless segment, which accounted for approximately 90% of the MST product market. Strong brands (such as Skoal and Copenhagen) and an attractive industry margin structure (low raw material costs), offset by increased competitive pressures and the growth in the value segments, have enabled UST to maintain EBITDA margins exceeding 50%.
