ier to that customer and also by unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Operating income was $2 million, up from $800 thousand last year. The increase in operating income was due primarily to effective cost management and favorable currency exchange rates.

For the full year of fiscal 2009, net sales decreased $15 million or 18%, compared to fiscal 2008. The decrease was driven primarily by a $12 million impact related to the change in a customer contract relationship mentioned above. In addition, sales decreased by approximately $3 million due to changes in the sales mix of products.

Papa concluded, "In challenging economic times, Perrigo is uniquely positioned to continue to save consumers nearly a billion dollars annually on their healthcare spend while adding value for our customers and shareholders. We expect fiscal 2010 earnings from continuing operations to be between $2.00 and $2.12 per share, which implies a year-over-year growth rate of earnings from continuing operations of 7% to 13% over adjusted fiscal 2009 EPS. Perrigo is the right company in the right place at the right time."
