Also contributing to the increase in operating income versus the first quarter of 2008 was a decline in refining operating expenses due primarily to lower energy costs. Partially offsetting the increase in first quarter 2009 operating income was the significant decline in sour crude oil discounts and lower diesel and jet fuel margins. Throughput volumes also declined due to downtime at certain refineries.

The strong level of consumer demand in the category now gives us confidence that adjusted earnings will be in the upper half of our guidance of $2.10 to $2.30 per share. While it's still early, we could see upside to our projections if current trends in the core business continue throughout the balance of the lawn and garden season. The results so far in April are encouraging, as the past two weeks have each resulted in record levels of consumer purchases of our products at our major retail partners in the United States."

"Demonstrating our confidence in the long term health of the market, on April 20th we acquired the assets of the former Qualia Clinical Services, a Phase I facility based in Omaha, Nebraska, and intend to reopen the unit in May. This investment is expected to be moderately dilutive to 2009 earnings (approx 4 - 6c). Excluding this, we continue to expect to achieve the 2009 guidance given in January, albeit at the lower end." Previous guidance called for FY09 EPS of $1.40-1.52 vs $1.44 First Call consensus; for FY09 revs of $930-980 vs $930 mln consensus.

Operating income guidance for FY09 remains unchanged at a range of $820-$880 mln. However, as a result of adopting SFAS No. 160, the classification of noncontrolling interests was changed to no longer be deducted from our operating income as previously reported. Therefore, operating income guidance based on the current presentation under SFAS No. 160 is projected to be in the range of $870-$930 mln, even though the underlying fundamental economics of the business have not changed. In addition, operating cash flow guidance is now projected to be in the range of $550-$600 mln.

"Despite the difficult environment for margins on gasoline and many secondary products, Valero continued to be profitable. Wide differentials for the heavy and sour feedstocks that we can process in our refineries benefited us significantly in the second quarter... Looking at market fundamentals, we expect distillate margins should be strong for the rest of the year and next. However, we expect gasoline margins to continue to be weak and industry utilization rates to decline. We expect secondary products to have a margin recovery, particularly if the price of crude oil stabilizes or falls, as the prices of these products lag changes in the price of crude oil... Concerning asset sales, although we have received preliminary indications of interest from parties regarding our Ardmore and Memphis refineries, we have not yet received a proposal that we believe is in the best interest of our employees and shareholders, so these refineries remain under strategic review. Obviously, gasoline margins have weakened and the availability of financing is clearly lacking as the financial markets continue in turmoil. However, we plan to continue to pursue a potential transaction for Aruba."

Co raises quarterly cash dividend to $0.17 from $0.15. Co's Board of Directors has authorized the co to review options to add capacity in the wind energy industry. "While we continue to work towards our historical target of 10-12 percent earnings per share growth, attainment in 2008 will be more challenging than previously anticipated given current business conditions. Meeting our target in 2008 will be predicated upon an improved flow of immediately shippable orders, or 'book and ship' orders, to our general industrial markets in North America, and upon the funding and release of certain military orders previously expected in the fourth quarter, which are now expected to be delayed due to funding issues, and therefore fall into 2009."

The co said gross margin for the second quarter of 2008 was 45.3% compared to 49.0% in the prior year's quarter. The decline in gross margin was primarily driven by the higher proportion of footwear sales in the quarter, which have lower gross margins than apparel.
