We also continue to benefit from the restructuring in 2005 and ongoing operating efficiency improvements. The North American operations continued to perform well across most business lines and the European operations yielded higher margins as a result of the changes that we have made. Our operating margin therefore increased to above 5% for both the quarter and year to date. “We remain focused on investing in the value of the Pergo brand and developing key account relationships across our operating regions. The introduction of new product ranges; new account initiatives; the extension of existing distribution channels; and activities to capitalize on Pergo’s significant worldwide intellectual property portfolio, provide the engine for further growth. We also continue to enhance our operating efficiency levels in order to improve our financial performance and maintain our competitiveness.” OTHER INFORMATION The Group’s consolidated accounts have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), which were adopted with effect from January 1, 2005.
