Highlight of Business Operations:
Our net sales for 2011 were $1.606 billion, a decrease of $400.9 million, or 20.0%, compared to net sales of $2.007 billion in 2010. Net loss was $67.5 million, a decrease of $203.6 million or 149.6% from net earnings of $136.1 million in 2010. Diluted loss per share was $1.39, which reflected a 150.0% decrease from the $2.78 diluted earnings per share reported in the prior year. Our decreased earnings were primarily the result of lower sales volumes and decreased margins primarily due to overall lower demand for toning footwear and a weak U.S. retail environment, inventory write-downs of $10.0 million on our toning products, a reserve of $45.0 million for costs and potential exposure relating to existing litigation and regulatory matters, foreign bad debt write-offs of $4.6 million and $3.1 million in asset impairments.
