• Gross margin was 65.2 percent of revenue compared to 65.5 percent in 2011. Increased delivery rates, material costs and performance based compensation expense in 2012 were partially off-set by favorable impacts from price increases and the Company's continued cost reduction initiatives.
• Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense increased $8.6 million in the quarter compared to 2011, but as a percent of revenue, was down slightly to 45.3 percent. Increased SG&A expense associated with commissions on increased revenue, as well as higher performance based compensation expense and the OrangeSoda acquisition last quarter was partially offset by benefits from continued execution against cost reduction initiatives.
