Excluding Berbee sales in the fourth quarter of 2006, and therefore on a non-GAAP basis, total sales were $1.715 billion, an increase of 6.7 percent compared to total sales of $1.607 billion for the fourth quarter of 2005. Excluding Berbee sales in the fourth quarter of 2006, and therefore on a non-GAAP basis, CDW's average daily sales for the fourth quarter of 2006 were $27.221 million, an increase of 6.7 percent compared to average daily sales for the fourth quarter of 2005 of $25.507 million. -- Total corporate sector segment sales in the fourth quarter of 2006 were $1.164 billion compared to $1.129 billion in the fourth quarter of 2005, representing an increase of 3.0 percent.

Fourth quarter of 2006 average daily sales for the public sector segment were $8.750 million compared to $7.583 million in the fourth quarter of 2005, representing an increase of 15.4 percent. -- Product categories that achieved the strongest year-over-year unit volume growth for the fourth quarter of 2006 excluding Berbee were notebook computers, data storage, software, video, memory and input devices. -- Direct web sales in the fourth quarter of 2006 were $491.2 million, representing an 8.0 percent increase compared to the prior year, and comprised 28.6 percent of total sales excluding Berbee and therefore on a non-GAAP basis. Berbee's sales are not made on the web due to the higher services component of the sales. -- Total sales in December 2006 were $619.6 million compared to $560.8 million in December 2005, representing a 10.5 percent increase. Average daily sales in December 2006 were $30.982 million compared to $26.703 million in the prior year period, representing a 16.0 percent increase. December 2006 had 20 billing days and December 2005 had 21 billing days. -- Total sales for December 2005 do not include Berbee sales, while December 2006 sales include Berbee sales. Excluding Berbee sales in December 2006, and therefore on a non-GAAP basis, total sales in December 2006 were $570.7 million compared to $560.8 million in December 2005, representing a 1.8 percent increase. Excluding Berbee sales in December 2006, and therefore on a non-GAAP basis, average daily sales in December 2006 were $28.534 million compared to $26.703 million in the prior year period, representing a 6.9 percent increase. -- In December 2006, average daily sales for the public sector segment increased 12.4 percent and average daily sales for the corporate sector segment increased 4.6 percent compared to the prior year period. Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2006 was $284.0 million compared to $248.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2005, and increased $35.3 million. Gross profit margin was 15.6 percent in the fourth quarter of 2006 compared to 15.5 percent in the same period of 2005. The increase was primarily due to the inclusion of Berbee from the date of acquisition through the end of the year, partially offset by lower product margin. Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were 8.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2006 compared to 7.0 percent in the fourth quarter of 2005, and increased $34.5 million. The increase in selling and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter of 2006 was primarily due to: -- The inclusion of Berbee's operating expenses from the date of acquisition through the end of the year increased operating expenses by $18.5 million. -- Incremental costs of $2.9 million associated with the operations of the company's new distribution center in North Las Vegas, Nevada, and additional leased office space in Chicago and Vernon Hills, Illinois. As previously announced, these infrastructure investments are being made to position the company for future growth. -- Stock-based compensation expense of $3.8 million due to the required implementation of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R ("SFAS 123R") relating to stock options as of January 1, 2006, as previously announced. -- Increased payroll and benefits costs as a result of continued investment in expanding CDW's sales force and additional coworkers to support a larger and growing business. -- Items included in the fourth quarter of 2005 that were previously announced and did not repeat in the fourth quarter of 2006 were a reversal of $5.3 million for an accrual of a company-wide incentive bonus program based on a partial achievement of specific financial objectives for 2005 and a $3.7 million charge in connection with the acceleration of vesting of options for coworkers through the manager level on December 31, 2005. In the fourth quarter of 2006, CDW recorded a one-time expense of $25.0 million pre-tax ($15.4 million after-tax), in connection with the negotiated settlement of the previously disclosed litigation involving the Company's 2003 purchase of selected assets of Micro Warehouse ("litigation settlement"). The litigation settlement is subject to execution of a definitive agreement and court approval. See supplemental table at the end of the press release for GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures. Operating margin was 4.5 percent in the fourth quarter of 2006 compared to 6.7 percent in the fourth quarter of 2005. Operating income was $82.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2006 compared to $107.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2005.

Interest income was $3.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2006, a decrease of $0.4 million compared to the same period of 2005.

The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2006 was 38.0 percent compared to 36.3 percent for the fourth quarter of 2005. The difference was primarily due to the inclusion of Berbee in the calculation of the tax provision in the fourth quarter of 2006.

Excluding Berbee sales in 2006, and therefore on a non-GAAP basis, CDW's average daily sales for 2006 were $26.285 million, an increase of 6.5 percent compared to average daily sales for 2005 of $24.674 million. -- Total corporate sector segment sales in 2006 were $4.514 billion compared to $4.411 billion in 2005, representing an increase of 2.3 percent.

The increase was primarily due to increased product margin, net service contract revenue and commission revenue and a higher level of vendor incentives. Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were 7.8 percent in 2006 compared to 6.9 percent in 2005, and increased $96.6 million. The increase in selling and administrative expenses in 2006 was primarily due to: -- The inclusion of Berbee's operating expenses from the date of acquisition through the end of the year increased operating expenses by $18.5 million. -- Incremental costs of $19.3 million associated with the operations of the company's new distribution center in North Las Vegas, Nevada, and additional leased office space in Chicago and Vernon Hills, Illinois. As previously announced, these infrastructure investments are being made to position the company for future growth. -- Stock-based compensation expense of $15.8 million due to the required implementation of SFAS 123R, as previously announced. -- Increased sales commission expense due to the achievement of a stronger gross profit margin compared to the prior year . -- Increased payroll and benefits costs as a result of continued investment in expanding CDW's sales force and additional coworkers to support a larger and growing business.

The non-GAAP operating margin information is being presented to provide meaningful comparisons to prior periods. Interest income was $19.8 million for 2006, an increase of $4.6 million compared to 2005. The increase was primarily due to higher interest rates. The effective tax rate for 2006 was 35.8 percent compared to 37.2 percent for 2005. The year-over-year decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily due to the previously announced reduction of tax for reserves for prior years as a result of the resolution of a tax audit or expiration of the statute of limitations for the audit of a tax year.
