Net sales decreased 8.8%, to $251.7 million for the first quarter of 2013, compared to $275.9 million for the first quarter of 2012. The sales decrease was driven by lower volume of $19.7 million, or 7.1%, and reduced pricing of $4.7 million, partially offset by favorable currency translation effects of $0.2 million. Two analysts had consensus revenue estimate of $258.25 million for the quarter.
The company expects full-year 2013 Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations will exceed last year's performance.
