Revenue decreased 23.7% to $89.0 million, compared to $116.6 million for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2009, primarily due to a 28.5% decline in opening backlog, partially offset by a 3.2% favorable impact of currency translation. Income from operations decreased 46.2% to $6.4 million, compared to $11.9 million for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2009, as the unfavorable impact of the volume decline in both segments was partially offset by reduced operating expenses. Earnings per diluted share decreased $0.34, or 59.6%, to $0.23, compared to $0.57 for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2009, primarily due to lower income from operations which negatively impacted earnings per diluted share by $0.22. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the quarter totaled $113.7 million, compared to $118.9 million at the end of Fiscal 2009. Cash flows from operations generated $1.7 million, primarily driven by earnings, partially offset by higher working capital utilization.

On a sequential basis, backlog of undelivered orders at January 2, 2010 was $184.3 million, an increase of 9.9% from backlog of $167.7 million at October 3, 2009. On a year-over-year basis, backlog decreased 15.6% from backlog of $218.4 million at the end of the First Quarter of Fiscal 2009.

Earnings per diluted share decreased $0.34, or 59.6%, to $0.23, compared to $0.57 for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2009. The decrease was primarily driven by lower income from operations.
Orders totaled $90.1 million, an increase of $13.1 million, or 17.0%, compared to orders of $77.0 million for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2009, primarily due to higher volume in the Americas and Europe, including the previously mentioned two large custom orders totaling approximately $20 million, as well as an estimated $2.4 million favorable impact of currency translation.
