Sales and earnings were adversely impacted primarily by weakness in the Optical Components Segment, which resulted from softness in demand for high-bay, high intensity discharge lighting products and other issues. Additionally, earnings have been substantially impacted by facility relocation costs. The effects of the relocation expenses and the pro forma earnings, calculated as though the relocation expenses had not been incurred, are as follows:
