Pricing Initiatives. We periodically modify prices in response to changes in costs for raw materials and energy, and to market conditions and the competitive environment. In certain cases, realized price increases are less than the announced price increases because of competitive reactions and changing market conditions. We estimate that prior pricing actions increased our third quarter total consolidated net sales by approximately $6 million and in the first nine months of 2012 by approximately $23 million, when compared to the same periods of 2011.Cost of goods sold in the third quarter of 2012 was 73.1% of net sales, compared to 74.3% for the same period in 2011.
