  • Reporting Season Outlook
    AUSTRALIA Reporting season outlook 24 July 2008 Battered & bruised - earnings growth for most still under pressure We approached the February 2008 reporting season with fears that EPSg would wilt under the pressures of the ‘credit crunch’ and slowing economic growth. Although FY08 EPSg forecasts weakened throughout that reporting season, the negative earnings momentum accelerated from that point onwards. Forecasts for FY08 have indeed succumbed to those pressures, with the Australian market and all sectors now forecasting EPSg of zero to negative. So as we approach this reporting season and with FY08 EPSg forecasts already downgraded we ask: is the worst over? While FY08 expectations may now be sufficiently negative, the EPSg forecasts for FY09 however still appear optimistic, particularly industrials which are still around +10% we believe significant risks remain. So as the focus shifts to the upcoming year’s EPSg downgrades will still be potent. Focus and risks shifting to FY09 EPSg forecasts Inside Overall EPSg for FY08 may slip further as we progress through this reporting season. Stock performance will be driven in our view by two critical factors: Table of contents 2 Earnings delivery on FY08 EPSg forecasts, be it high or low; and Reporting season calendar 3 Guidance or commentary around the expectations for EPSg in FY09. Any Stock Index 4 stock where the market is forced to lower its FY09 EPSg expectations is likely to see its share prices under significant pressure. Battered & bruised - earnings growth for most still under pressure 5 Despite the downgrades seen already, our analysis suggests that the forecasts are expecting operating margin expansion to come from domestic, mid-size, and Analysis of profit and cashflow forecasts13 cyclical stocks at a time of a sharp slowdown in the local non resource economy.

Goldfarb Specialist in Industrial Organization and Telecommunications Policy Resources, Science, and Industry Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress FCC Media Ownership Rules: Current Status and Issues for Congress Summary On June 2, 2003, the Federal Communications Commission modified five of its media ownership rules, easing restrictions on the ownership of multiple television stations (nationally and in local markets) and on local media cross-ownership, and tightening restrictions on the ownership of multiple radio stations in local markets. The new rules have never gone into effect. Sec. 629 of the FY2004 Consolidated Appropriations Act (P.L. 108-199) instructs the FCC to modify its new National Television Ownership rule to allow a broadcast network to own and operate local broadcast stations that reach, in total, at most 39% of U.S. television households. On June 24, 2004, the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit (“Third Circuit”), in Prometheus Radio Project vs. Federal Communications Commission, found the FCC did not provide reasoned analysis to support its specific local ownership limits and therefore remanded portions of the new local ownership rules back to the FCC and extended its stay of those rules.
