Highlight of Business Operations:
Systems Net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2011 increased by $6.6 million, or 25%, to $32.3 million, compared to $25.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, due to strong demand for marine positioning equipment and improved sales of marine data acquisition systems and sensor geophones during the quarter. Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2011 increased by $2.2 million to $13.4 million, representing a 41% gross margin, compared to $11.2 million, representing a 44% gross margin, for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in gross margins in our Systems segment was primarily due to the relatively higher proportions of revenues from sales of lower-margin marine data acquisition systems and sensor geophones.Solutions Net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2011 decreased by $13.5 million, or 16%, to $73.2 million, compared to $86.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. This decrease was predominantly driven by the timing of new venture revenues, with 2011 new venture projects being spread more evenly between the third and fourth quarters compared to 2010 new venture projects (mostly in the Arctic) where the majority of new venture activity was concentrated in the third quarter of the year, and by lower data processing revenues as the data processing business continues to be impacted by the lagging effects of the slowdown in the Gulf of Mexico. These decreases were partially offset by increased demand for access to our multi-client data libraries in the Arctic, East Africa and the Congo. Gross profit decreased by $9.1 million to $22.6 million compared to $31.7 million in 2010, and gross margins decreased 6% to 31% as a result of lower data processing revenues and the sales mix within the multi-client business.
Our total net revenues of $294.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased $9.0 million, or 3%, compared to total net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Excluding the effect of Legacy Land Systems (INOVA) operations, total net revenues increased $25.6 million, or 9%, over revenues (as adjusted) for the comparable period in 2010. Our overall gross profit percentage for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was 37%, consistent with the gross profit percentage (as adjusted) for the same period of 2010. Total operating expenses as a percentage of net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were, respectively, 26% and 27%, as adjusted. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded income from operations of $33.4 million, compared to $28.0 million, as adjusted, for the same prior-year period.
Systems Net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased by $14.1 million, or 20%, to $85.7 million, compared to $71.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This increase was primarily due to higher revenues from towed streamer and other marine products partially offset by weak sales of sensor geophones. Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased by $11.6 million to $40.8 million, representing a 48% gross margin, compared to $29.1 million, representing a 41% gross margin, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in gross margins in our Systems segment was primarily due to sales mix including an increase in higher-margin marine positioning equipment sales.
Solutions Net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased by $9.7 million, or 6%, to $180.0 million, compared to $170.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This increase was predominantly driven by demand for access to our multi-client data libraries in Greenland and Brazil and by increased marine new venture activity in Africa and Greenland and new venture land activity in the Marcellus shale, partially offset by lower data processing revenues resulting from the lagging effects of the slowdown in the Gulf of Mexico. Gross profit decreased by $5.9 million to $47.1 million compared to $53.0 million in 2010, while gross margins decreased 5% to 26% principally as a result of the lower volume of revenues from our data processing services.
