Changes related to foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted revenues by $2.2 million, of which $0.2 million and $3.4 million were related to favorable impacts in the Americas and Asia-Pacific, respectively, which were partially offset by an unfavorable impact of $1.4 million in EMEA. Excluding the foreign currency exchange rate impact, revenues increased by $5.2 million, or 2.6%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in the prior year. This $5.2 million increase in revenues consisted of a $6.0 million increase in the Americas and a $3.8 million increase in Asia-Pacific, partially offset by a $4.6 million decrease in EMEA. The increase in revenues in the Americas was due to increases in under pressure services, which included volume increases in leak sealing and line stopping services which contributed to an approximately 11.8% increase in leak sealing and line stopping services revenues when compared to the same period in the prior year. Additionally, other services revenues in the Americas increased by approximately 10.0% related to volume increases in product and other manufacturing services, including a $4.7 million hot tapping equipment package sale. The increase in revenues in Asia-Pacific was primarily attributable to increases in turnaround services in Australia, which included volume

Excluding the foreign currency exchange rate impact, revenues decreased by $3.0 million, or 4.2%, for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in the prior year. This $3.0 million decrease in revenues consisted of decreases of $0.5 million and $3.2 million in the Americas and EMEA, respectively, partially offset by a $0.7 million increase in Asia-Pacific. The decrease in revenues in the Americas was primarily due to volume decreases in other services which contributed to an approximately 19.0% decrease in other services revenues when compared to revenues in the same period in the prior year. The decrease in revenues in EMEA was attributable to decreases in under pressure services, which included volume decreases in hot tapping and composite repair services resulting in approximately 24.5% decrease in hot tapping and composite repair services revenues as compared to revenues in the same period in the prior year. Additionally, EMEA revenues decreased within other services by approximately 16.3% related to volume decreases in product and other manufacturing services. The increase in revenues in Asia-Pacific was attributable to volume increases in both under pressure and other services, which included volume increases in leak sealing and product and other manufacturing services when compared to revenues in the same period in the prior year.
