Germany and other smaller acquisitions. Exchange rates had a favorable impact of $21.0 million,<br />

or 0.9%, primarily in Italy. Favorable pricing increased sales by $13.5 million, or 0.6%, while<br />

sales volume was flat.<br />

Sales in Asia/Pacific decreased $61.1 million, or 5.7%. The unfavorable impact of foreign<br />

exchange translation rates reduced sales by $128.1 million, or 11.9%, primarily due to sales in<br />

New Zealand, Australia, South Korea and India. This decrease was partially offset by favorable<br />

volume of $33.8 million, or 3.1%, and favorable price of $21.2 million, or 2.0%. Acquisitions<br />

also contributed $12.0 million, or 1.1%.<br />

Sales of Other Operating Entities decreased $42.4 million, or 5.3%. Divestitures, primarily<br />

the bakery products unit, decreased sales by $122.5 million, or 15.5%. The unfavorable impact<br />

of foreign exchange translation rates decreased sales by $73.1 million, or 9.2%, principally<br />

in Africa. These decreases were partially offset by volume increases of $77.4 million, or<br />

9.8%, largely due to the Weight Watchers classroom business. In addition, price increases<br />

contributed $49.6 million, or 6.3%, and acquisitions, primarily in South Africa, contributed<br />

$26.2 million, or 3.3%, to sales.<br />

Gross profit decreased $143.3 million to $3.35 billion from $3.50 billion in Fiscal 1998. The gross<br />

profit margin decreased to 36.1% from 38.0%. Excluding the special items identified above,<br />

gross profit would have increased $211.4 million, or 6.0%, to $3.75 billion from $3.53 billion<br />

and the gross profit margin would have increased to 40.3% from 38.4%. Europe accounted<br />

for $156.5 million of this increase due to improvements in the baby food business in Italy,<br />

the favorable impact of foreign exchange translation rates and acquisitions. North American<br />

Grocery & Foodservice segment’s gross profit increased $56.7 million due to cost savings<br />

from Project Millennia, stronger sales volume and acquisitions, partially offset by the<br />

disappointing performance of the domestic pet food business. Other Operating Entities’ gross<br />

profit increased $41.5 million due to improvements in the Weight Watchers classroom business,<br />

attributable to the Weight Watchers 123 Success Plan. North American Frozen’s gross profit<br />

decrease of $24.0 million was due to the divestiture of the Ore-Ida frozen foodservice business<br />
