This increase combined with a reduction in overhead expenses allowed us to build our overall profitability while still investing in even stronger levels of advertising behind our global brands.
We are pleased that our strong top-line momentum continued this quarter across all operating divisions and on top of the outstanding growth achieved in the year ago period. We are especially encouraged that global pricing was positive for the first time in two years, despite difficult cost and competitive environments.
The excellent [1%] improvement in gross profit margin excluding restructuring charges during the quarter exceeded our expectations, and was the largest quarterly gross profit increase we have seen in three years.
Operating profits will be up nicely. We expect another good quarter, with unit volume up in every operating division, solid upward movement in gross profit margin and a worldwide increase in advertising support.
