We are the world's leading retailer of rentable home videocassettes, DVDs and video games, with about 6,500 stores in the United States and 26 other countries as of March 31, 1999. We operate primarily under the highly recognized BLOCKBUSTER brand name, which, according to The Gallup Organization, achieves nearly 100% recognition with active movie renters in the United States. Based on 1998 industry estimates from Paul Kagan Associates, Inc., a leading video industry expert, we estimate that our company-operated and franchised stores attained a U.S. market share in excess of 27%, over three times greater than that of our nearest competitor. In the United States, our customer transaction database contains information on about 87 million accounts, and we estimate that about 65% of the population lives within three miles of one of our stores. Our revenues in 1998 increased 17.5% from 1997, with about 79% of these revenues generated in the United States and about 21% generated outside of the United States. Nearly 60 million people worldwide have rented in excess of 970 million movies and video games from us or our franchisees within the last 12 months. For the year ended December 31, 1998, we and our franchisees recorded worldwide revenues of about $4.7 billion, $3.9 billion from our company operations and $0.8 billion from our franchised stores.
