Net sales of SHEETROCK® brand joint compound decreased $2 million, or 3%, due to 6% lower volume partially offset by 3% higher selling prices.

The $47 million favorable change in operating results reflected gross profit improvements of $36 million for SHEETROCK® brand gypsum wallboard, of which $34 million was due to a higher gross margin and $2 million was due to the increase in shipments. The higher wallboard gross margin was attributable to higher selling prices, increased sales of higher margin UltraLight Panel products and lower per unit manufacturing costs. Operating results also reflected an increase of $1 million for DUROCK® brand cement board due to higher gross margin and a $4 million aggregate increase in gross profit for other product lines.

These increases were partially offset by $4 million due to an unfavorable impact of currency translation and a $1 million increase in cash discounts. Operating profit in the second quarter of 2012 was $2 million, unchanged from the second quarter of 2011. Gross profit decreases of $1 million each for gypsum wallboard, primarily due to the lower selling prices, joint treatment and cash discounts were offset by a $1 million increase in gross profit for other non-wallboard products and an aggregate decrease of $2 million for overhead and miscellaneous costs.
