For the third quarter of 2017, net sales were $261.8 million compared with $254.2 million in the prior-year period, or a 3.0% increase year-over-year.

Net earnings for the third quarter were $23.8 million compared with $30.1 million during the prior-year period, a decrease of 21.0%. Higher SG&A expense and a higher effective tax rate reduced net earnings during the quarter as they have throughout 2017.

Weighted average diluted shares outstanding were 24.6 million for the third quarter of 2017, compared with 25.1 million in the prior-year period. The Company repurchased 865 thousand shares during the quarter for a total investment of
