in 2014 , the currency fluctuations had a negative impact on net revenue of $ 6.8 million as compared to 2013. key financial results and transactions for 2014 included the following : net revenue increased 2.8 percent from 2013 primarily driven by a 3.5 percent increase in sales volume . gross profit margin decreased to 25.3 percent from 27.9 percent in 2013 and 27.4 percent in 2012. cash flow generated by operating activities from continuing operations was $ 29.7 million in 2014 as compared to $ 132.7 million in 2013 and $ 108.6 million in 2012. we acquired prospec construction products business on september 3 , 2014 for $ 26.2 million . the global economic conditions were mixed in 2014. demand in north america saw the growth momentum built in the second half of 2013 weaken notably in the first quarter of 2014. however market conditions improved the rest of the year . the recovery in europe remains weak though conditions stabilized during the year . we experienced continued growth in our asian markets , particularly in china . our total year organic sales growth , which we define as the combined variances from product pricing , sales volume and small acquisitions , was 3.1 percent for 2014 compared to 2013. in 2014 our diluted earnings per share from continuing operations was $ 0.97 per share compared to $ 1.87 per share in 2013 and $ 1.34 per share in 2012. the lower earnings per share from continuing operations in 2014 resulted from production inefficiencies related to the business integration project , erp system implementation costs in north america and higher special charges , net costs for the business integration project . special charges , net in 2014 were $ 51.5 million for costs related to the business integration project . on an after-tax basis , the special charges , net resulted in a $ 45.2 million negative impact on net income and a negative $ 0.88 effect on diluted earnings per share . special charges , net in 2013 were $ 45.1 million for costs related to the business integration project . on an after-tax basis , the special charges , net resulted in a $ 35.3 million negative impact on net income and a negative $ 0.69 effect on diluted earnings per share . in 2012 we had special charges , net of $ 52.5 million for costs related to the business integration project . on an after-tax basis , the special charges , net resulted in a $ 35.4 million negative impact on net income and a negative $ 0.70 effect on diluted earnings per share . see note 5 to the consolidated financial statements for more information . project one : in december of 2012 our board of directors approved a multi-year project to replace and enhance our existing core information technology platforms . the scope for this project includes most of the basic transaction processing for the company including customer orders , procurement , manufacturing , and financial reporting . the project envisions harmonized business processes for all of our operating segments supported with one standard software configuration . the execution of this project , which we refer to as project one , is being supported by internal resources and consulting services . during 2013 a project team was formed and the global blueprint for the software configuration was designed and built . in the latter half of 2013 and in the early months of 2014 the global blueprint was applied to the specific requirements of our north america adhesives business , the software was tested and the user groups were trained . on april 6 , 2014 our north america adhesives business went live . the implementation process proved to be 18 more difficult than we originally anticipated resulting in disruptions in our manufacturing network , lower productivity and deteriorated customer service levels . by the end of 2014 most of the problems associated with the software implementation had been remediated and the business was stable and running at capacity with productivity levels approaching the levels experienced prior to the new software implementation . in late 2014 we suspended any further implementation projects in other geographic regions until we complete the optimization of the current platform in north america . we are preparing a revised implementation plan that leverages the experiences of our first go-live event and reduces the risk of significant business interruption . we expect to start subsequent implementations in 2016. the original capital expenditure plan for project one was approximately $ 60.0 million , of which $ 43.3 million was spent through november 29 , 2014. given the complexity of the initial implementation we anticipate that the total investment to complete the project will exceed our original estimate . we will have a revised estimate of the total project costs and the expected completion timetable later in 2015 when the revised implementation plan is complete . 2015 outlook : our key long term financial objectives remain unchanged : achieve organic revenue growth between 5 and 8 percent per year , increase our earnings before interest , taxes , depreciation and amortization ( ebitda ) margin to 15 percent , grow earnings per share by 15 percent per year and increase return on invested capital ( roic ) to 15 percent . ebitda is a non-gaap financial measure defined on a consolidated basis as gross profit , less sg & a expense , plus depreciation expense , plus amortization expense . ebitda excludes special charges , net . ebitda margin is a non-gaap financial measure defined as ebitda divided by net revenue . story_separator_special_tag a discussion of environmental , product and other litigation liabilities is disclosed in item 3. and note 12 to the consolidated financial statements . 22 based upon currently available facts , we do not believe that the ultimate resolution of any pending legal proceeding , individually or in the aggregate , will have a material adverse effect on our long-term financial condition . however , adverse developments and or periodic settlements could negatively affect our results of operations or cash flows in one or more future quarters . income tax accounting : as part of the process of preparing the consolidated financial statements , we are required to estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate . the process involves estimating actual current tax expense along with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for book and tax purposes . these temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities , which are included in the consolidated balance sheets . we record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more-likely-than-not to be realized . we have considered future taxable income and ongoing tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance . increases in the valuation allowance result in additional expense to be reflected within the tax provision in the consolidated statements of income . as of november 29 , 2014 , the valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets totaled $ 16.4 million . we recognize tax benefits for tax positions for which it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained by the applicable tax authority at the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement . we do not recognize a financial statement benefit for a tax position that does not meet the more-likely-than-not threshold . we believe that our liabilities for income taxes reflect the most likely outcome . it is difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing of the resolution of any particular tax position . future changes in judgment related to the resolution of tax positions will impact earnings in the quarter of such change . we adjust our income tax liabilities related to tax positions in light of changing facts and circumstances . settlement with respect to a tax position would usually require cash . based upon our analysis of tax positions taken on prior year returns and expected tax positions to be taken for the current year tax returns , we have identified gross uncertain tax positions of $ 4.8 million as of november 29 , 2014. we have not recorded u.s. deferred income taxes for certain of our non-u.s. subsidiaries undistributed earnings as such amounts are intended to be indefinitely reinvested outside of the u.s. should we change our business strategies related to these non-u.s. subsidiaries , additional u.s. tax liabilities could be incurred . it is not practical to estimate the amount of these additional tax liabilities . see note 8 to the consolidated financial statements for further information on income tax accounting . results of operations net revenue replace_table_token_7_th net revenue in 2014 increased 2.8 percent from 2013. the 2013 net revenue was 8.5 percent higher than the net revenue in 2012. we review variances in net revenue in terms of changes related to product pricing , sales volume , changes in foreign currency exchange rates and major acquisitions . the pricing/sales volume variance and small acquisitions including prospec construction products , which was acquired in the fourth quarter of 2014 , are viewed as organic growth . the following table shows the net revenue variance analysis for the past two years : replace_table_token_8_th 23 organic sales growth was 3.1 percent in 2014 compared to 2013. the 3.1 percent organic sales growth in 2014 was led by 18.7 percent growth in construction products , 11.2 percent growth in asia pacific and 2.4 percent growth in americas adhesives . the majority of the negative currency impact was driven by the weakening of the australian dollar and the canadian dollar against the u.s. dollar . organic sales growth was 1.6 percent in 2013 compared to 2012. the 1.6 percent organic sales growth in 2013 was led by 7.8 percent growth in construction products , 6.5 percent growth in asia pacific and 1.6 percent growth in americas adhesives . the majority of the positive currency impact was driven by the strengthening of the euro against the u.s. dollar . the acquired business added $ 121.8 million to net revenue in 2013 compared to 2012. cost of sales replace_table_token_9_th raw material costs as a percentage of net revenue increased 100 basis points in 2014 relative to 2013 , reflecting increases in raw materials costs as well as changes in product pricing and sales mix . other manufacturing costs as a percentage of revenue increased 160 basis points compared to last year mainly driven by cost associated with the implementation of our new erp system as well as business integration costs that are not classified as special charges . as a result , cost of sales as a percentage of net revenue increased 260 basis points . the 7.9 percent increase in cost of sales for 2013 compared to 2012 was driven by the inclusion of the acquired business for the full year of 2013 , offset by the recognition of the non-cash charge for the sale of inventories revalued at the date of the acquisition , which increased cost of sales by 20 basis points in 2012. cost of sales as a percentage of net revenue decreased 50 basis points primarily driven by synergies from integrating the acquired business and benefits realized from the business integration project . raw material costs as a percentage of net revenue decreased 80 basis points relative to the prior year , reflecting material cost synergies and other profit improvement initiatives undertaken over the year . other manufacturing costs as
