For the third quarter:

--Total revenue was $265.5 million, 10.5% less than the year-ago period, with retail equipment and related sales declining by 6.4% and retail service revenue declining by 14.3%. Primary reasons for the decline in retail equipment revenue were softness in certain Europe/Australia geographies and unfavorable foreign currency movements. The decline in retail service revenue was due in large part to the continued decline in average cost per copy and the continued shift to a more utility based industry pricing model. Further, the Company continued to experience a slower than anticipated ramp-up in volume from newer printer manufacturer contracts.

--Consolidated gross margins were 31.8% of revenue, compared to 36.0% in the year-ago quarter. In the retail equipment segment the factors in the margin decline included worldwide market pressures on pricing, an unfavorable product mix during the quarter and product gaps in color. The decline in retail service margins was due in large part to the effect of lower revenue on fixed service costs, investments to meet service-level obligations to our newer printer manufacturer partners and a decline in average cost per copy.

--SG&A expenses were $79.8 million (or 30.0% of sales), 26.9% lower than the year-ago period. Contributing to the decrease were lower overhead and corporate costs as a result of the company's continued streamlining of operations and efficiencies from its Vision 21 initiative. In addition, the Company recovered $3.2 million in prior period overpayments related to a legacy worker's compensation insurance policy and the reduction of a $1.7 million reserve related to the same policy. The Company's improvement in internal systems also led to a $2.2 million recovery of sales taxes sales tax, levy on the sale of goods or services, generally calculated as a percentage of the selling price, and sometimes called a purchase tax.
