Monitoring business.
Automation and Control Solutions sales in 2003 increased by 7 percent compared with 2002 due to favorable effects of foreign exchange of 5 percent and acquisitions, net of the disposition of our Consumer Products business, of 4 percent, partially offset by the impact of lower prices and volumes of 1 percent each.
Sales increased by 11 percent for our Automation and Control Products businesses as the favorable effects of foreign exchange and acquisitions, mainly Invensys Sensor Systems (Invensys), more than offset the impact of the disposition of our Consumer Products business and lower volumes.
Sales for our Process Solutions business increased by 4 percent due to the favorable effect of foreign exchange partially offset by lower unit volumes.
Sales for our Building Solutions business increased by 2 percent as the favorable effect of foreign exchange more than offset lower volumes due to continued softness in the non-residential construction market.
Automation and Control Solutions segment profit in 2004 increased by 6 percent compared with 2003 due to the favorable effect of higher sales volumes partially offset by increased investments in sales and marketing initiatives and higher research and development costs to support new product introductions.
Automation and Control Solutions segment profit in 2003 decreased by 2 percent compared with 2002 due mainly to the decline in higher-margin energy-retrofit and discretionary spot sales in our Building Solutions business, and increased research and development expense and investments in sales and marketing initiatives, mainly in our Automation and Control Products and Building Solutions businesses, respectively.
Segment profit was also adversely impacted in 2003 by pricing pressures mainly in our Automation and Control Products and Process Solutions businesses.
Trends which may impact Automation and Control Solutions operating results in 2005 include: ?
Extent, if any, of recovery in non-residential construction spending and capital spending on building and process automation.  ?
Consolidation in the fire and security industry may result in increased competition.
Specialty Materials
## Table 1 ##
Specialty Materials sales in 2004 increased by 10 percent compared with 2003 due to the impact of higher prices of 6 percent (mainly in our Nylon System business), higher volumes of 5 percent and the favorable effect of foreign exchange of 1 percent, partially offset by prior year divestitures, net of acquisitions, of 2 percent.
Sales for our Chemicals business improved by 19 percent driven principally by continuing strong demand for our non-ozone depleting HFC products for refrigeration and air conditioning applications, as well as for blowing agents for insulation applications.
Sales for our Electronic Materials business increased by 13 percent driven by improvement in the semiconductor industry.
Sales for our Performance Products business were also higher by 13 percent due to strong demand for our Spectra fiber, principally from the U. S.  military.
Specialty Materials sales in 2003 decreased by 1 percent compared with 2002 due to the impact of the divestitures of our Advanced Circuits, PFC and Engineering Plastics businesses, net of the acquisition of BASF’s nylon fiber business, of 6 percent partially offset by the favorable effects of foreign exchange of 3 percent and higher volumes of 2 percent.
Higher volumes were principally driven by strong demand for Spectra fiber from the U. S.  military, increasing demand for HFCs, a key component of many non-ozone depleting refrigerants and foam blowing agents and increased demand for electronic materials from the semiconductor industry.
Volumes were adversely affected in 2003 by the temporary plant shutdowns in our Fluorocarbons and Nylon System businesses.
Specialty Materials segment profit in 2004 increased by 35 percent compared with 2003 due principally to higher sales volumes and price increases, partially offset by higher raw material costs (principally phenol resulting from increases in benzene prices) mainly in our Nylon System business.

1 Included shares of our common stock, par value $0.10 per share, withheld under the terms of grants under employee stock-based compensation plans to offset tax withholding obligations that occurred upon vesting and release of restricted shares (the “Withheld Shares”).
We repurchased 1,004 Withheld Shares in October 2015, 1,777 Withheld Shares in November 2015 and 9,342 Withheld Shares in December 2015.2 The average price per share for each of the months in the fiscal quarter and for the three-month period was calculated by dividing the sum of the applicable period of the aggregate value of the tax withholding obligations and the aggregate amount we paid for shares acquired under our stock repurchase program, described in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, by the sum of the number of Withheld Shares and the number of shares acquired in our stock repurchase program.3 In February 2015, the Board authorized a share repurchase program to repurchase from time to time up to $300.0 million, excluding fees, of our common stock (the “2015 Share Repurchase Program”).
On February 12, 2016, we announced that our Board had approved a new share repurchase program to repurchase from time to time up to $300.0 million, excluding fees, of our common stock.
The new authorization is in addition to any amounts remaining for repurchase under the 2015 Share Repurchase Program.
There is no expiration date associated with the share repurchase programs.
