Net Sales: For the 2010 Third Quarter, consolidated net sales decreased 0.2% compared to the 2009 Third Quarter. Sales growth primarily from the C3ISR reportable segment was offset by lower sales from the AM&M and Electronic Systems reportable segments. Net sales from acquired businesses were $60 million in the 2010 Third Quarter. Sales from services, which include services performed by businesses primarily in our Government Services, AM&M and C3ISR reportable segments, as well as marine services, simulation & training, and maintenance for security and detection systems within our Electronic Systems reportable segment, increased by $34 million to $2,066 million, representing approximately 54% of consolidated net sales for the 2010 Third Quarter, compared to $2,032 million, or approximately 53% of consolidated net sales for the 2009 Third Quarter. Service sales increased due primarily to organic sales growth in airborne ISR logistics support services for the U.S. Air Force, logistics, training, and law enforcement support services for the U.S. Army, information technology (IT) support services for the U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) and other U.S. Government agencies, and systems field support services for U.S. Army rotary wing training aircraft. These increases were partially offset by reduced subcontractor pass-through sales for U.S. Army systems and software
For the 2010 Year-to-Date Period, consolidated net sales increased 0.2% compared to the 2009 Year-to-Date Period. Sales growth from the C3ISR and AM&M reportable segments was offset by lower sales from the Government Services and Electronic Systems reportable segments. Net sales from acquired businesses were $127 million in the 2010 Year-to-Date Period. Sales from services increased by $70 million to $6,021 million, representing approximately 53% of consolidated net sales for the 2010 Year-to-Date Period, compared to $5,951 million, or approximately 52% of consolidated net sales for the 2009 Year-to-Date Period. Service sales increased primarily due to organic sales growth in airborne ISR logistic support services for the U.S. Air Force, logistics, training and law enforcement support services for the U.S. Army, systems field support services for U.S. Army rotary wing training aircraft, and IT support services for SOCOM and other U.S. Government agencies. These increases were partially offset by reduced subcontractor pass-through sales for U.S. Army SSES services, a decrease for Iraq support, lower volume for CFS and the SOFSA contract, and lower systems field support services for U.S. Air Force fixed wing training aircraft. Sales from products decreased by $52 million to $5,404 million, or approximately 47% of consolidated net sales for the 2010 Year-to-Date Period, compared to $5,456 million, or 48% of consolidated net sales for the 2009 Year-to-Date Period. The decrease in product sales was primarily due to decreases for combat propulsion systems, commercial shipbuilding products, precision engagement and marine services.
