Cash Flows Provided By Operating Activities

        The increases in net cash provided by operating activities in 2008 and 2007 were primarily due to our higher operating profit before depreciation and amortization, which resulted from the higher gross profit generated from an increase in revenues. These increases were partially offset by an increase in cash paid for income taxes, which was $706 million in 2008, $408 million in 2007 and $30 million in 2006. The increase in cash paid for income taxes resulted mainly from the use of our NOL and tax credit carryforwards during 2007 and 2006.
