Earnings from operations were $28.0 or 8% of sales in 2010 compared to a loss of $19.2 or (7%) of sales in 2009. The $47.2 improvement is primarily driven by $31.9 from increased sales volumes, $21.8 of improved plant leverage on increased volume as well as the initiative to lower inventories in 2009, increased selling prices of $7.2, and lower raw material costs of $4.1. These positive impacts were partially offset by increased freight costs of $6.2 due to higher selling volumes, higher costs of $11.4 related to the elimination of the short term cost savings initiatives and higher operating expenses, and $0.3 from changes in exchange rates.
