Operating expenses, which are reported separately from restructuring costs, decreased by $29.6 in Q3 2009 and by $9.3 year-to-date compared to the same periods last year. The decrease in the quarter was primarily due to $21.1 of impairment charges recorded in the Other category in Q3 2008 and lower variable compensation expense, partially offset by declines in the cash surrender value of COLI. For year-to-date 2009, the decrease in operating expenses in Q3 2009 was partially offset by increases during the first half of 2009, which included unfavorable currency translation effects, increased product development and showroom spending, increased spending related to the launch of our Coalesse brand and additional growth-related spending in Asia.
Q3 2009 operating income was $15.0, a decrease of $37.7 compared to the prior year. Year-to-date operating income was $97.8, a decrease of $58.2 compared to the prior year.
Restructuring costs of $4.7 incurred in Q3 2009 and $20.9 year-to-date primarily related to the restructuring activities we announced in March 2008. See Note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Highlight of Business Operations:
Q3 2009 net income decreased to $0.4, or $0.00 per share, compared to $31.3, or $0.22 per share, in the same quarter last year. The decrease in the quarter was largely the result of lower volume within our North America segment and Other category and a $27.5 charge related to a reduction in cash surrender value of our company-owned life insurance policies (COLI). Higher commodity cost inflation which continues to out-pace recent pricing actions, increased restructuring costs and lower interest income also contributed to the decline in net income, but to a smaller extent. Q3 2008 included a $21.1 impairment charge at PolyVision, which is included in the Other category. Net income decreased by $48.6 during the first three quarters of 2009 to $54.0, or $0.40 per diluted share, compared to $102.6, or $0.71 per diluted share, in the same period last year primarily due to the same factors noted above for the Q3 2009 decrease in net income.Revenue was $811.3 in Q3 2009, compared to $885.9 in the same quarter last year.
