Net sales decreased $550 million — 7 percent — primarily due to a $436 million decrease in Wood Products net sales attributable to decreased sales realizations and sales volumes across most product lines, as well as a $142 million decrease in Timberlands net sales to unaffiliated customers attributable to decreased log sales realizations and sales volumes in the Western and Southern regions.
Costs of sales decreased $181 million — 3 percent — primarily due to decreased sales volumes across most product lines in Wood Products, as well as decreased sales volumes in our Timberlands segment, partially offset by an increase in acres sold in our Real Estate, Energy and Natural Resources segment.
Operating Income
Operating income decreased $501 million — 42 percent — primarily due to a $369 million decrease in consolidated gross margin (see discussion of components above), as well as an $84 million decrease in gain on sale of timberlands (refer to Note 4: Timberland Acquisitions and Divestitures).
Net Earnings
Net earnings decreased $443 million — 53 percent — primarily due to the $501 million decrease in operating income discussed above. This decrease was partially offset by a $67 million decrease in income tax expense (refer to Income Taxes).

The volume of real estate sales is a function of many factors, including the general state of the economy, demand in local real estate markets, the ability of buyers to obtain financing, the number of competing properties listed for sale, the seasonal nature of sales, the plans of adjacent landowners, our expectations of future price appreciation, the timing of harvesting activities and the availability of government and not-for-profit funding. In any period, the average price per acre will vary based on the location and physical characteristics of parcels sold.
Net sales increased $28 million — 8 percent — primarily due to an increase in acres sold, partially offset by a decrease in average price per acre sold and a decrease in royalty income from our Energy and Natural Resources business.
Costs of sales increased $26 million — 21 percent — primarily due to an increase in acres sold.
Operating Income and Net Contribution to Earnings
Operating income and net contribution to earnings increased $5 million — 2 percent — primarily due to the change in the components of gross margin, as discussed above.
