Supplemental Information Regarding Conference Call Remarks of October 25, 2004Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) is a measure of the return we earn on the capital invested in our businesses. Improving ROIC is a primary objective of our Global Business Plan. Our incentive compensation plans also contain ROIC objectives.

C = average effective tax rate for the period

D = total reported share of net income of equity companies for the period

E = average total assets for the period
