Appleton Reports Third Quarter 2012 Results:
Appleton's third quarter 2012 net sales of $210.7 million decreased 2.9% compared to third quarter 2011. Adjusting for the Company's decision to discontinue the sale of carbonless papers into certain non-strategic international markets, third quarter 2012 net sales were up 1.8%. The Company's strong revenue growth from thermal papers of 9.3% helped to partially offset the sales decreases in carbonless papers and Encapsys.
