Net sales were $545 million in the third quarter of 2007 compared to $522 million in the third quarter of 2006, an increase of 4.4%. The increase was driven by favorable coated paper sales volume, partially offset by a decrease in average coated paper prices and a decrease in sales of uncoated paper and market pulp. Coated paper sales volumes increased from 528,000 tons in the third quarter of 2006 to 576,000 tons in the third quarter of 2007. Average coated paper prices decreased from $907 per ton in the third quarter of 2006 to $884 per ton in the third quarter of 2007. The company did not take any market-related downtime for coated paper in the third quarter of 2007 or 2006. .
