These increases were due primarily to organic sales increases of $17.9 million in the third quarter of 2011 and $61.3 million in the first nine months of 2011. The organic sales growth was primarily driven by increases in the industrial manufacturing businesses based in North America and Europe reflecting improvements in the transportation industry, including automotive.

The 2011 period reflects the redemption of the remaining $92.5 million principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Notes including a $9.8 million premium paid on conversion for those notes surrendered for conversion. The redemption, including the premium, was funded by borrowings under the revolving credit facility. Total cash used to pay dividends was $13.2 million in both the 2011 and 2010 periods.

Cost of sales in the first nine months of 2011 increased 14.9% from the 2010 period.
