This excerpt taken from the GIS 10-K filed Jul 26, 2007. Components of International Change in Net Sales
For fiscal 2007, net sales for our International segment were $2.1 billion, up 16 percent from fiscal 2006. This growth was largely driven by a 15 percent increase in net sales of Häagen-Dazs ice cream and the continued strong performance of Green Giant and Old El Paso products across Europe. Acquisitions made in fiscal 2007 contributed less than 1 point of net sales growth. Four points of net sales growth came from favorable foreign exchange. Net sales totaled $1.8 billion in fiscal 2006 and $1.7 billion in fiscal 2005. For fiscal 2006 versus fiscal 2005, unit volume grew 4 percent, driven by a 6 percent increase in the Asia/Pacific region. Net sales growth for our International segment by geographic region is shown in the following tables: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
