Third Quarter 2010 Results of Operations
Revenues
Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $44.6 million as compared to $18.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The increase of $26.0 million, or 139.3%, was primarily due to increased demand for the Company's AmeriSolar brand of PV solar modules, particularly in Europe.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $4.0 million as compared to $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The increase of $1.3 million, or 48.7%, was primarily due to an increase in the number of PV solar modules shipped. Costs of sales for the three-month period were $40.6 million as compared to $15.9 million for the same period a year ago. The Company's gross margin was 8.9% and 14.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to the market-driven decline in sales price per unit for solar modules, which has outpaced the raw material price reductions that the Company has been able to negotiate with its suppliers.
Income from Operations
Operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2010 amounted to $0.4 million as compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease of $0.9 million was primarily due to increased costs associated with increased sales. Operating expenses for the three-month period totaled $3.6 million as compared to $1.3 million for the same period a year ago. The increase in operating expenses reflected an increase in sales expenses for sales associate salaries and commissions on increased sales volume, as well as the expenses associated with adding administrative infrastructure for the Company's current and anticipated sales growth.
Net Income
Net income attributable to Worldwide for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $1.2 million as compared to $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, due to the reasons set forth above. Earnings per diluted share were $0.21 for the quarter, compared with diluted EPS of $0.55 for the same period a year ago.

The increase of $75.5 million, or 192.6%, was primarily due to the continued market penetration of the Company's AmeriSolar brand of PV solar modules, particularly in Europe.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $10.6 million as compared to $6.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The increase of $4.6 million, or 76.5%, was primarily due to an increase in the number of PV solar modules shipped as well as lower material costs associated with the crystalline silicon material used for module production. Costs of sales were $104.1 million for the nine-month period, as compared to $33.2 million in the same period a year ago. The Company's gross margin was 9.3% and 15.4%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. The decrease was primarily driven by a decline in sales price per unit, which is dictated by the market and has outpaced the raw material price reductions that the Company has been able to negotiate with its suppliers.
