1. Net sales were up 6.1 percent to $308 million in the fourth quarter. For the full year, net sales jumped 2.4 percent to $1.1 billion. The full year net sales were unfavorably impacted by foreign currency exchange rates aggregating $46.9 million compared to 2014.

The full year international net sales were up 5.5 percent to $296.3 million. The increase is primarily due to stronger sales in direct markets, especially Germany, France and Spain.
