For both the second quarter and first six months of 2012 as compared to the same periods in the prior year, sales prices increased for our commodity OSB products as discussed in the OSB segment above. The increase in selling price favorably impacted operating results and adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations by approximately $2 million for the quarter and for the six month period as compared to the corresponding periods of 2011.
first six months ended June 30, 2012, the increase in sales in Chile was supported by increased imports from LP's North American and Brazilian operations. These imports generally produce a lower margin due to freight costs and therefore have little impact on operating results.
