The document is a company's earnings report for the first quarter of 2008. It includes: 1) Sales were up 6% compared to the first quarter of 2007, but business segment profit decreased by $15 million due to higher input costs and maintenance outages. 2) The packaging resources and specialty chemicals segments saw sales and profit increases, while consumer solutions and consumer & office products saw profit decreases due to input cost inflation and bad debt charges. 3) Adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) decreased 30% to $28 million compared to the prior year quarter, driven by lower adjusted gross margin and segment profit.
