Revenue growth was led by the United States which increased 8.6% on strong demand for our Imaging products and continued growth in CAD/CAM new user sales.

International revenues decreased 15.3% in U.S. dollars, but in local currency decreased 0.4%. The decline was primarily driven by Japan, which faced a difficult comparable with last year’s pre-buying ahead of the consumption tax increase.

Gross profit was $143.8 million, down $7.7 million. Gross profit margin was 55.9% in the second quarter of Fiscal 2015, compared to 53.6% in the prior year. The increase in the gross profit margin was mainly due to the benefit of foreign exchange effects as well as reduced amortization and depreciation expense resulting from the step-up to fair values of tangible and intangible assets.
