Eric Etchart, President of Manitowoc Cranes and Mike Kachmer, President of Manitowoc Foodservice. Glen will open today’s call by reviewing our 2009 accomplishments, Carl will discuss our financial results for the fourth quarter and full year and our segment presidents will offer incites in to their market conditions and outlooks for 2010. For anyone who is not able to listen to today’s entire call, an archived version of this call will be available later this morning. Please visit the Investor Relations section of our corporate website at www.manitowoc.com to access the replay. Before Glen begins his commentary, I would like to review our Safe Harbor statement. This call is taking place on February 3, 2010.

Thanks, Steve, and good morning, everyone. As we look back on 2009, there’s no question that it was one of the most difficult business environments that we have faced in our 107 year history, from both a financial and operational perspective. However, I believe we can look back on 2009 with pride in the manner that Manitowoc has met the challenges of this deep recession. It is during such difficult times that a good team must come together and step up to the challenges, and I’m very pleased with the way our entire Manitowoc team performed over the past year. We executed well an identifying and solving many difficult issues. For example, we began the year in the midst of a global credit crisis that prevented many of our customers from purchasing cranes and foodservice equipment causing did demand to drop dramatically, virtually over night. Our ability to respond quickly with appropriate actions enabled us to navigate our way through those difficult times. In fact, our actions throughout there 2009 have set the foundation for profitable growth as the economy gradually recovers. During 2009, we focused our mission of three priorities, first to have a flawless integration of a notice in to our Foodservice business, second to position our Crane operations for optimal performance when the economic recovery begins, and third, to optimize cash generation and achieve our adjusted debt reduction objective of $450 million. We are maximizing the benefits of the Enodis acquisition. We continue to expect synergies of at least $80 million. More importantly, the revenue and long term growth opportunities from this acquisition will continue to play out in the years ahead as we move forward as one unified business. We expect to emerge from the global recession with a solid, innovative workforce in an extremely efficient…

Thanks, Glen and good morning, everyone. Reported net sales for the fourth quarter of 2009 were $839 million, which is a decline of $377 million or 31% from the fourth quarter of 2008. On a sequential quarter basis, net sales declined $42 million or 5% due primarily to the normal seasonality of the Foodservice business. The good news is that the revenue on the Crane segment stabilized with essentially no change in sales from the third quarter. Given the year-over-year sales decline in the fourth quarter, we also experienced a decline in operating margin in the fourth quarter from 8.6% to 6.1%. This was due to the dramatic decline in Crane margin that was only partially offset by the explosive increase in our Foodservice margin. We were pleased with our decisive actions to reduce our costs by $240 million in 2009, but those actions were insufficient for us to preserve our margin performance in Cranes. We will derive additional benefits from our cost cutting actions in 2010 that will generate $125 million of additional cost reductions this year. The GAAP net loss for the quarter was $23.5 million or $0.18 per share, versus a net loss of $200 million or $1.54 per share in the fourth quarter of 2008. This quarter’s loss included $0.11 per share related to special charges including debt extinguishment, loss on sale of product lines, and a loss from discontinued operations. Excluding these and other unusual items in both quarters, fourth quarter EPS was a loss of $0.07 per share this year, versus earnings of $0.46 in 2008. Moving on to the balance one of our top priorities in 2009 was debt reduction. As Glen mentioned achievement of this objective was particularly noteworthy, considering the substantial market declines we experienced in both Cranes and to a…

Thank you, Carl. Our Foodservice segment entered the New Year in a very strong position. With the acquisition of Enodis we are clearly a leading player in the global Foodservice equipment industry. Our customers include many of the fastest growing and most innovative companies in the world. They come to us for innovations that allow them to improve their menus, enhance their operations, and reduce their cost. We serve customers in more than 100 countries, and we will continue to expand. Our integrated manufacturing operations service sites, and sales offices, work together to assist customers worldwide whether these customers are local businesses or global companies. As you know, the integration of Enodis is well underway, yet we are continuing to identify and accelerate synergies both in terms of revenue opportunities, and expense savings. Even now we are focused on maximizing these cost savings, we are also continuing to invest in people, products, and processes. A good example is the completion of an innovative and easy to operate smoothie machine from one of the world’s leading quick service restaurant chains. We will be delivering and installing thousands of these units throughout 2010. Smoothies are expected to be an exciting new product line for our customer, and the marketing program is just getting underway. We have launched numerous energy savings, and sustainable initiatives in Foodservice to help our customers. Because we can help our customers operate more profitably, they are willing to invest in our products, even during recessionary markets. We work with them at a senior level across the globe to meet their needs. The adjustments that we have made, and continue to make have allowed us to improve profitability and generate strong cash flow throughout there the recession. Equally important we are a major player in a very solid industry,…

Thank you, Mike. As we all know the Crane segment is much more susceptible to business cycles, and the Foodservice side and this industry downturn as been one of the most abrupt that we have ever experienced. The good news is that we are seeing signs that we worst is over and suddenly in some parts of the world, most notably, China, India, Australia, North Africa, Brazil, and other portions of Latin America, growth has resumed and we have been expanding our product lines and facilities in these areas. In China, we have recently started to produce crawler cranes, using many of the same proven strategies that have been key to success in the region. As a result, we are now producing three completely different product lines, crawlers, towers, and truck cranes in first class manufacturing facilities in Jiangsu, Zhejiang provinces. In December, we also saw a pickup in some of our more mature markets, such as Germany and Australia, as a result for the first time, in more than a year; we had a month-to-month increase in our backlog. We have taken advantage of a recession to concentrate our efforts to lead innovation and to implement our innovations globally. This includes both product and manufacturing innovations. We are expanding our Lean Six Sigma concepts in all manufacturing locations worldwide, and have implemented several initiatives to further expand our lead in product reliability and customer satisfaction. We have also initiated a worldwide supplier development program that will help reduce costs and improve quality. Our partnership efforts with a variety of suppliers to produce and operated of caps and boom channel fabrications are good example of this collaboration. Looking ahead, we see opportunities driven by major global trends, such as the need for improving infrastructure and energy and power generation. This…

Thanks, Eric. I think our two segment Presidents have given you good review of their businesses. It should be clear that we have dealt with the 2009 recession by taking responsive and decisive actions. In 2009, we focused on the integration of the notice in generating optimal cash flow to reduce debt. We will continue those actions in 2010 as well as ensuring that we are poised to emerge with greater strength when the markets recover. With that we will now open the call for questions, Lena.

(Operator instructions) Your first question comes from Charles Brady - BMO Capital Markets.

I quoted on some clarification from Eric’s comments he seeing sequential increases in 2010. Just as on a quarter-by-quarter basis of Q1 sequentially up from Q4 am I hearing that correctly and then in a follow up to that, in terms of Crane margins, your commentary talks about being above that 3.5 run rate for the year, but I’m wondering particularly in the first half of the year when Crane revenues are still going to be down year-on-year, if there’s an expectation that margins would be below that 3.5 mark in the first half?

Charlie this is Carl. The message on the margins it’ that’s our expectation for the full year, that we will be in excess of that 3.5 margin. As you know our history is not to provide, quarterly financial guidance, and, that is the message that we’re seeking to convey is that, when you look at it from a full year standpoint, we will perform better than we did in the last trough of the cycle. From a revenue stand point, I think the trend comment, and the expectation that we’ll have, quarter-on-quarter growth is really, driven towards, the comment is made as it relates to 2010. When you think about, what has been happening with the backlog and the fact that, the strength that we’ seeing is in energy and infrastructure applications, you don’t necessarily turn some of those demand levels, in short term basis and that therefore that’s we are talking about the ramping. This also a typical seasonal pattern where you would see softness in the first quarter and we wouldn’t expect 2010 to be a different from that perspective either.

Your next question comes from Henry Kirn - UBS.

Wondering if you could chat a little bit about the signs that give you visibility to a back half recovery Cranes is there increased chatter from customers? Is there something else you are seeing that gives you more visibility there today?

Henry, yes, we definitely see increase in demand, definitely in the emerging markets. There is also obviously some degrees of seasonality as well, after the Chinese New Year, we expect to see strong order entry in APAC that will definitely an impact on the second part of the year, because we have longer lean time on the large Cranes. Also if you look at the burn rate of our U.S. distributors, it is anticipated to reach a level for our dealers to restart probably stocking as inventory within the channel will be too tight to serve our customer base. Who have expectation for immediate availability, so we track the burning rate of the inventory quite costly on a weekly basis and we believe that will also impact. So, overall we have also seen a lot of government business taking obviously time to materialize, but if you look at both standards on a global basis, there is obviously some activity.

Thanks and could you give a little color around the pricing versus cost delta that you are expecting based on your margin guidance?

This is Glen. When you look at obviously the input cost on the Crane side a little different than the Foodservice side, but on the Cranes, obviously with steel pricing, and some of the other components of that, still, relatively comparable to 2009. Remember what the backlog looked like at the end of 2008. We are lot of pricing from the 2008 steel process that as it came down during the year, we couldn’t take advantage of most of those, so it did impact our margins, but then on the pricing side, on the end user pricing, it’s actually held pretty well. I give the industry a little bit of credit in that respect I think everybody has got their favorite deals. They have got their favorite customers. They have got their favorite territories. So, if you do see something that looks a little off balance, I think it’s more the exception than it is the norm. On the Foodservice side, I think where you have some commodity increases, mostly in the, it’s the steel pricing and could be the nickel, the aluminum, you just watch those commodity costs, and we do hedge those a bit, going forward, and there are markets that you can hedge against, whereas you know on the steel markets you don’t that.

Your next question comes from Nigel Coe - Deutsche Bank.

I sort to speaking to the deal inventory; you said you track this, those levels quite closely. Can you throw out, a dollar number for the level of dealer entry burn during 2009 and can you be a bit more granular on when you expect those inventories to actually hit a floor?

Well, that’s a difficult one. We track there are some different components of their inventory, which could an RPO, which could be what they have, quote, they own rental fleets, versus what they have in new and what they keep in used. So it’s really not that dollar amount, that we’re looking at Nigel, it’s what is the utilization? What are the rates? What’s the trend? I think that the key there is, what we watched all during the year is we watched the trends decline. These people were trying to manage their balance sheets, and they weren’t ordering, and they know that you’ve got to remember, some of these whether it’s a rental company or a dealer, the crane to them is like fund manager’s money. That’s what they used to make money. Their key is utilization, and utilization rental rates for the most part, but I think the key takeaways there, it is declining, and we watched it by product line to find out where we can be of a best support to our dealer channel to say the whole channel is running out of this crane or this crane and will your customers have needs for that in the short term.

Those metrics you tracking, utilization rates, rental rates have turned for your guys?

Have what?

Have they turned? Have they hit the bottom?

You know, they’re tracking. I don’t think they’re tracking I would say on average is probably in the mid-to high 60s, but the difference there is, there’s a split between the high capacity cranes, which is better than that, and then you have the lower capacity cranes, which could be the small truck cranes, could be small RTs, could be boom trucks. Those are going to give you a lower utilization, but I would say on average it’s about the mid-to high 60s, which is probably just a little bit better than what it was at the trough in 2002 and 2003.

That brings onto next question on the backlog mix. You mentioned, Glen it’s obviously the high capacity cranes have high utilization. I’m assuming therefore, the orders you’re seeing skewed towards the high capacity which are tended to be better margin, so I’m wondering within your backlog is the crane margin improving? Just to dig into the point made the backlog build in 4Q, was that November/December, or was that earlier in the quarter?

I would it was the build of it back half of the quarter and I would say what the mix is in there? I think it’s a decent mix. I think it is skewed probably a little to the higher end cranes, but there’s also in some of the emerging markets. We have some dealers in the emerging markets, where we’re shipping RTs, trucks in China I mean it’s a decent mix, but I would say, yes, it’s probably skewed a little bit to the higher capacity.

Your next question comes from Meredith Taylor - Barclays Capital.

You can step through the $125 million of additional cost reductions that you talked about for 2010, a little bit in greater detail. How much it is Foodservice? I would assume that the $80 million of additional cost savings associated with the Enodis acquisition is built in there, but maybe if you could step through that in a little more detail that would be helpful.

The bulk of the Foodservice savings are synergies. We signaled, expectation we’re get in excess of $70 million, from the run rate level, so that’s an increment of on the order of 35-plus in 2010 and obviously the balance of it is, getting the full year run rate from the identified actions that were taken out there 2009 as we continued to see where the markets were going and take those actions. Those are really the keys, there are obviously some incremental cost-saving activities in cranes, but the bulk of it really is just getting the full impact from the actions that were taken in 2009. The other thing that’s in there Meredith is, when you talk about the $125 million, it’s purely cost takeouts, whereas in the synergies on the foodservice side. There are some revenue synergies, some growth, Cross-selling opportunities that’s in that $80 million, when Carl talks about the $125, is just cost.

I’m hoping that you can talk a little bit about the $200-plus million of debt pay down, and specifically, how you expect working capital to trend over the course of 2010? I mean I know that Eric touched on, the need to maintain a balance between lean inventories and being able to efficiently meet customer demand. If you could talk a little bit more about the puts and takes with respect to the $200 million plus and dig a little deeper into working capital, that would be terrific.

I guess our history in trend, when we managed through cycle has been that we’ve been able on multiple years, post an inflexion point been able to bring out substantial amounts out of working capital. Obviously, with the environment that we had in 2008, and how strong the markets were, almost that entire year for us, and the customer dynamics of trying to get their hands on lifting equipment as quickly as possible put us in a circumstance where from a conservative standpoint, from a meeting delivery schedule, really that provided us with some opportunities and benefits that you certainly saw in 2009. We believe there’s a lot more of that in 2010, or continuing actions that are available to us in 2010. Given our overall guidance that we expect to yield year-over-year top line in cranes to be less, to Eric’s earlier comment about lean initiatives, operating efficiencies; those will play into that as well. You can probably gather from the overall guidance that we have provided that we would expect to get a little bit of additional cash from profitability as we get a little bit later in the year as well, when potentially maybe the pace of working capital opportunities might diminish.

I guess I’ll just close. I’m trying to get a little bit more color around the first half, sequential pick that you talked about. I mean, you’ve talked about on a year-over-year the decline, but can you talk about maybe first half of ‘10 versus second half of ‘09, and how we should think about how revenue trends might play out there on the crane side?

Again, I think the expectation, given the fact that we’re not carrying the same level of back log into 2010, that we did in 2009, that first half of the year, we’re going to see year-on-year erosion in the top line Cranes. When we get past the first half of the year, that there would be an expectation given what we’re seeing in the markets, where we stand from a backlog, and our outlook today, that we would show year-over-year growth, based upon 2010, against 2009. When you look at the full year in total, that the contraction then that occurs, because of the erosion that I talked about earlier is going to be considerably less than the top line contraction that we saw this is in 2009 over last year.

I was actually wondering about the first half of ‘10 versus the second half of ‘09? So just thinking about order of magnitude, the sequential trends that you’re looking for there?

I think you get that seasonal effect and kind of hitting the low end early in the year, all coming at the same time, and then some of the opportunities that have enabled us to increase the order book that potential hit that second quarter. When you look at it from that perspective, I’m not sure that you would see a great deal of movement one way or the other.

Your next question comes from Ann Duignan - JP Morgan.

Let me start with the balance sheet, and if we look at $200 million in debt reduction in 2010, it still leads total net debt to total capital at somewhere still above 70%. Can you talk about that and what your goal is there? What we might see as we go through 2010 incremental to just paying down debt?

Obviously, the $200 million is a targeted level that we would certainly expect to achieve again as we did achieve our debt reduction target last year. The longer term, expectations for the company that we would point to would be kind of a normalized level debt to capital of about 40%. As you look at it through the cycle, that’s the measure that we use for cost of capital calculation purposes and when we calculate our economic value-added and so that would be a longer term metric we could point to and provide. Obviously, as we get to a point where we’ve hopefully continue to see stabilization in our markets, and potentially the working capital opportunities, wane in the businesses, that there is additional cash from profitability that will enable us to continue the debt pay down that’s, we’ve replicated on numerous occasion when we’ve taken on leverage.

As you look at your model right now today, given what you’re looking at for 2010, when would you expect to achieve the 40%?

Our guidance of that 40% is not a 2010 guidance level that is a kind of a normalized leverage level as you would look at it, through the cycle, and based upon the normal types of active that we’ve taken on to fund our growth to the debt markets. That was a longer term metric.

Switching to Foodservice, you know, one of the big differences between your business and ITW foodservice business, there are a couple of differences, but one of the key ones in my view is, that ITW breaks out after market separately and focuses on it. As a result, they’ve seen much less cyclicality. What are your terms in terms of focusing on the after market, and making this business less cyclical in the next cycle?

And you look at obviously Foodservice being a little different than cranes from an after market standpoint, and what’s used of it, but when you look at the Foodservice, I mean less than 5% of it’s going to come from the after market, but that’s what creates the opportunity. The other thing is, you compare ITW versus Manitowoc, ITW their distribution channels are different and what matter to than what Manitowoc and many of ours are contract to service, whereas we bring a lot of the people in, whether it’s to the hot side or the cold side. We train them, and do a lot of the training side. So we don’t get the service revenue, but accept certainly get the parts revenue, and that piece of the business, and when you look at the replacement side of our business being 50% to 60% of the business, that’s a critical piece for us to have those contracted service reps. Manitowoc, I would say engaged. So yes, when you look at, you got the cyclicality, I think it’s just a simple market declines in the whole goods side of the business, yeah, we would be more susceptible to that, because we’re one of the piece of the business, but it’s also much greater piece of the business on the whole goods for us than some of the other competitors.

So structurally, you think the businesses are so structurally different than you will going forward also likely be more cyclical, or more…?

No, certainly I think if you go back historically and look at the trends in either the hot or the cold side of the business I mean, go back to our cold side of the business for the last 13 years, the ups and downs were down 2%, 3%, and up 4%, 5%, and any of the big sites would have been acquisition-related type items. I mean, we’ve said a couple of times that our market down of Foodservice at 20% that’s unprecedented, we haven’t seen that in 40 years. So I don’t use the word “Cyclical” when I think of the Foodservice side of the business whether it’s the hot or the cold, but I’m going to let Mike say something also on the Foods and Service.

Yes, I think it’s also very important to know is that we’ve organized the business around three primary geographic call P&Ls, and through the integration process, we’ve established service leadership, as staff members within each of those three regions, and we will soon be establishing a global position for service that will integrate the regions, and development and implement new programs. So we believe we’ve got a good strong core service component as Glen described earlier, but we also see upside as well, and we’re placing human resources around that opportunity.

Good, actually that helped a lot. I appreciate that they update there. Just on the revenue synergies out of that business that you had set as a goal $80 million, I believe, did you see any revenue synergies in 2009 or, is it just all integration right now and we should start to see revenue synergies as we go forward?

No, we had revenue synergies in 2009, there were a couple of certain success stories we had, most notably the Smoothie project, and I think that a later rollout in 2009, so we’ll get the full year benefit in 2010. There are some other products that we’re coming out with on a combined basis this year, butut it certainly will be greater in 2010 than it was in 2009. That’s for sure.

Can you quantify your expectations for 2010?

I think if you go back to what we said originally, and that’s about I would say we had two-thirds of it, better than two-thirds it’s going to come out of cost and about a third of that was going to come out of the revenue side.

For 2010?

That was overall of the $80 million.

So in 2010, can you help us understand what the revenue synergies might be on the Foodservices side?

A little higher than 13, on the revenue side, a little lower than 70 on the cost side.

Your next question comes from David Wells - Thompson Research Group.

First off, looking at the inventory on the balance sheet, can you give some color on what percentage of that are finished goods, kind of verse other portions of production? Really just trying to get a sense of, as production schedules get set going in to the first half of the year, how much will you have to sell out of inventory, and will that help some of the absorption issues that we saw in the fourth quarter on the crane side?

I think part of the success that we had in achieving the debt reduction target it was due to taking down some of the finished goods inventory that was part of what we dealt with when we had the abruptness of the downturn and a lot of the cancellation activity, which was also unprecedented for us. So as we look at it, relative to the inventory that you see on the balance sheet today, that we’re probably down to about 30%, roughly that would represent finished goods inventory.

Then, looking back at the Foodservice business, kind of comparing the third quarter to the fourth quarter, if you could step us through the cost structure of that business, and just trying to get a sense of, kind of a swing point in margins where the closer you get to say maybe $400 million in top line, and you see some nice incremental improvement in operating margin, and just trying to get a sense of, as you look at the top line grow in 2010, how much incremental margin comes down to the bottom line?

Well, I think the synergy guidance included in that is some opportunities to continue to take out some of the fixed costs. I would say overall today, we’re probably in the kind of two thirds variable to fixed, and we can potential push that a little bit as we would continue to institute some of the integration opportunities and from an incremental margin stand point, obviously that will have a positive effect getting probably well over 20% incremental margins.

Then lastly, just in relationship to the Chinese market, any update on seeing native Chinese competitors being more aggressive on the pricing front. I have seen some interesting commentary talking about fairly aggressive pushes in 2010, specifically in the crawler market and wondered how that affects that your expectations for that market as you go in to the New Year here.

Well, I think, the Chinese aren’t going to be any different than they were in 2008 when the market was good, but what you have seen out of the Chinese competition is a retrenchment to focus on the Chinese market, which is very good right now, but you specifically talk about the crawler crane market, so when you look at what the Chinese have with respect to crawlers, I would say what we see, if it’s going to be in the anything. If they are going to come with a 300 or any above 300 ton, it’s going to be 20% to 30% cost reductions. Now what is that from I mean, there’s a lot of different things that they have, but it’s not the same steel, it’s not the same components. It’s not the same weight, and so the only benefit they have is on labor, because some of the same components when they are similar, we’re buying from the same suppliers. So as they come out, they improve their products, their cost structure goes up also. So I would say on average when you look at where you are being beat, it’s a 20% cost difference, and then the question is, “How do you set against that with your customers? Do your customers have to look at what is the first of all quality is one, and then second is what is the after market support?” That’s the big item right there is we can sell against that, so our distribution, our after market support, and then lastly, and what a lot of people have found out during this down period, if they did have some of the Chinese equipment in the run up, because they needed it for availability, and now they are trying to put it on the used market, there’s no global resell value for a Chinese crane right now, but if you take a Manitowoc or some of the other traditional competitors, it’s certainly available to those cranes and not to the Chinese. So are they going to be a formidable competitor as time goes on? Absolutely, but let’s not forget that we have two large factories in China with respect to the crane side. We have several factories in Asia for our Foodservice side of the business, and at the end of the day, we’re still a net exporter to china, and you can qualify us as a Chinese manufacturer.

Your next question comes from Seth Weber - RBC Capital.

Couple of follow-up questions, just sticking on the emerging market theme, I mean are emerging markets for the crane business, should we think of that as structurally lower margin for you, relative to the U.S. market, or is it more just project, you know, bit by bit.

The margin characteristics for us are much more a function of the product mix than the geography. I think that you could say, whatever the logistic issues that may go with selling in to some of these places could give you an ability to make the global statement that maybe your margins are a little bit better in developed markets, but by and large, I would say it’s not a huge difference, and our margins are much more a function of the product.

Just sticking on the China theme, I know it’s early, but have you noticed any difference in activity there, given the recent rhetoric out of the government?

No, not necessarily, not at all. I think, when you look at what some of the rhetoric was, it wasn’t structured about the infrastructure and energy work, it was more commercial driven on some of those type projects and when you look at what our end markets are, a little political side comment here, despite what the WTO has said, there are still some significant duties on cranes that go in to China on some lower end capacities. So we are out of those markets just because of that duty. So the majority of our focus is in fact, if it’s not produced in China is on the infrastructure and energy markets.

I thought on a previous call we had talked about Foodservice margins in 2010 growing by about 200 to 250 basis points just from the actions that you guys have taken. Is that the right way to think about the slope into next year, into this year, I guess?

Well, I think our message is just significant improvement. We’re not being that granular with it. Obviously, you can see the discrete message relative to synergies by themselves. Expect that increment to be on the order of $35 million plus in 2010 versus what we achieved in 2009. I’ll kind of leave you with those numbers.

Then just sorry, if I missed this, but did you give an organic Foodservice revenue number for the quarter?

Modest increase.

Your final question comes from Ben Elias - Sterne Agee.

I was wondering if you could comment on the short cycle business in the crane side, now that we look at order trends go from 170 to 250, to I guess, 385 this fourth quarter, and you are saying that orders will increase sequentially, you also said on the third quarter conference call that the short cycle business has picked up, and therefore, the backlog burn is not going to be as quick. I think you also mentioned in the fourth quarter that backlog actually increased sequentially in December. So just trying to get an idea, once sequential increase in orders we get a pretty good idea for that build in the crane revenue, and I’m just trying to figure out the short cycle business, and how that is looking?

I think, Ben, when you talk about the short cycle business, I think you are talking about the lower capacity cranes…?

No, the stuff ordered, built, and shipped within quarter…?

Yes, book-to-bill, okay. I think the comment there’s we’ve seen it stabilize. I mean, I think that’s the best world that we can come up with, I don’t want to say it’s a trough because I don’t know that there’s a bottom, but I think stabilize meaning it can go up a little bit, go down a little bit, I think it bumps along. I think, what we did talk about is in the fourth quarter we saw 80%, book-to-bill and that’s different than the third quarter, which was 50%, but when you combine the orders with that book-to-bill, that’s where you get the stabilization as we see it, and in our conversations, and we watch this, as I said in the press release the metrics and the trends, we’re encouraged by some of that. So I think the best world we can use there is stabilized.

I think in previous conversations or conference calls, you did talk about the replacement cycle on the Foodservice business and how it has been a little slower, and traditionally it has been a pretty flat business, but this time around the up tick might be a bit sharper. When do you see that, is that consistent with comments Mike made about U.S. restaurants committing a lot of CapEx in the first half of the year?

Yes, I think so. I think when you look at some of the market statistics that Mike gave, but if you just go back to the end of 2008, and in 2009 the best example I can give you, when you look at the replacement side is sometimes people made the decision, it’s better to replace, but when you are in the midst of what is happening in 2009, it’s a no different than what we did in our manufacturing businesses or anything else. The phrase that we’ve used internally as for example, if your roof leaks you buy a bucket, and if it leaks a lot, you buy a bigger bucket and on the replacement side of Foodservice, people were trying to do what they could to limp along before they replaced. So at some point in time, yes, the typical trends are 50% to 60% of that business is replacement, but in an economic environment like we had last year, of course that’s going to happen. I don’t know if Mike has anything to add to that, but …?

Just a couple of comments, I think we along with most people that forecast the industry see an up tick occurring in 2010. We think some of the general market forces will be more towards the latter part of the year versus the front part of the year, but as Glen noted, there’s pent up demand across many of the categories that is a result of people really just guarding every dollar they can around replacement dynamics, so we’re ready.

A final question this is around the tax rate. How do we look at the tax rate going forward in 2010? Is there any way to sort of bracket this?

Well, it’s obviously going to depend on, where we are from, how the earnings play out. Obviously, we derived, benefit out of our cash tax position in 2009. We would expect to replicate that in 2010, given some of the carry forward characteristics, but certainly at lower levels than we had in 2009.

So 10% to 15% would be fair or…?

That’s fair from an ETR standing point.

That concludes our question-and-answer session. At this time, I would like to turn it back over to Mr. Glen Tellock for any additional or closing remarks.
