The sales decline in Russia resulted from the impact of foreign exchange translation of $13.3 million, offset by increased export sales of $1.0 million and domestic sales value increase of $5.5 million.

Total gross profit increased by approximately 0.9%, or $0.7 million, to $75.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, from $74.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

The improvement in gross margin percentage was driven by a number of factors including improved product and channel mix in Poland and price increases taken in Russia. Part of the improvement in pricing coming from the Russian market was offset by the year on year growth of spirit pricing which resulted in approximately $4.5 million of additional cost in the second quarter of 2012.
Total gross profit increased by approximately 2.5%, or $3.2 million, to $130.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, from $127.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

The improvement in gross margin percentage was driven by a number of factors including improved product and channel mix in Poland and price increases taken in Russia. Part of the improvement in pricing coming from the Russian market was offset by the year on year growth of spirit pricing which resulted in approximately $7.7 million of additional cost in the six months period of 2012.
Operating expenses consist of selling, general and administrative, or S,G&A expenses, advertising expenses, non-production depreciation and amortization, and provision for bad debts. Total operating expenses increased by approximately 8.9%, or $9.9 million, from $111.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to $121.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This change includes a one-time gain in the six month period ended June 30, 2011, amounting to $7.9 million in operating income based on the remeasurement of previously held equity interests in Whitehall to fair value. For comparability of costs between periods, items of operating expenses after excluding this fair value adjustment are shown separately in the table below. Operating expenses, excluding fair value adjustments as a percent of net sales increased from 35.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to 36.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2012.
