Prior Year Quarter Impact: Results in the prior year quarter were negatively impacted by $0.21 per share due to several items, the largest being corporate costs eliminated at the time of separation and transaction costs associated with separating our steel processing business.
Quarterly Sales Decline: Consolidated net sales in the quarter of $274 million decreased 8.1% from $298 million in the prior year, largely driven by the deconsolidation of our former sustainable energy solutions segment which contributed $28 million in sales in the prior year quarter.
Bad Debt Reserve Impact: The current quarter was also negatively impacted by $2 million or $0.03 per share due to an increase in our bad debt reserves specific to two customers who recently declared bankruptcy.
