The provision for income taxes recorded primarily related to taxes recorded at certain of our profitable European locations. The effective tax rate increased to 38% for the first nine months of fiscal 2012 from 33% in the first nine months of fiscal 2011 and to 42% for the third quarter as a result of higher pre-tax losses in the U.S., where no deferred tax benefit is recorded as a result of valuation allowances.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2012, revenue increased $42.0 million, or 24%, to $216.3 million from $174.3 million during the comparable period of fiscal 2011. The increase in revenue was a result of volume increases due to higher demand in Europe based on reductions in Feed-in-Tariffs in Germany and Italy, which were effective in the third quarter of 2012, and gains in market share within Europe.
During the first nine months of fiscal 2012, revenue decreased $32.7 million, or 13%, to $211.2 million from $243.9 million during the comparable period of fiscal 2011. Operating margins decreased to 6% during the first nine months of fiscal 2012 as compared to 7% operating margins in the comparable period of 2011. Revenue for the first nine months of fiscal 2011 was favorably impacted as it included a substantial amount of delinquent backlog, built up as a result of the constrained supply chain during fiscal 2010, which was cleared out during that nine-month period. The decreased operating margin in the first nine months of 2012 was the result of the reduction in sales volumes.
