" Financial Results Net sales increased 2 percent in the third quarter to $ 484.3 million , compared with $ 473.4 million in the prior year . The increase was primarily driven by favorable currency impacts , which totaled approximately $ 11.0 million , and higher sales volume in our Heavy Duty Equipment ( " HDE ” ) segment . These favorable drivers were partially offset by lower sales volume in the Commercial and Industrial Solutions ( " CIS " ) segment . 1
