Segment profit for the quarter was $95.4 million, up $7.6 million, or 9%, versus the same quarter last year.

Skin care sales decreased 1% due to lower shipments of Wet Ones, more in line with normalized demand post H1N1 consumption peaks. The decline in Wet Ones was partially offset by increased shipments of Banana Boat and Hawaiian Tropic. Infant care sales increased 1%.
