Net earnings in the second quarter of 2010 were $33.6 million, or $0.63 per diluted share compared to net earnings of $22.7 million, or $0.43 per diluted share in second quarter of 2009. Net earnings in the first six months of 2010 were $61.6 million, or $1.16 per diluted share compared to net earnings of $48.7 million, or $0.92 per diluted share in the prior-year period.
Net sales in the second quarter of 2010 were $514.6 million, up $53.6 million, or 11.6%, from the prior-year period and included approximately $26 million from acquisitions. For the first six months of 2010, net sales were $984.1 million, up $63.3 million, or 6.9%, from the prior-year period and included approximately $36 million from acquisitions. The year-over-year sales increases also reflect higher sales volumes in our Electrical segment. While volumes in our Steel Structures segment increased, overall sales declined due to lower selling prices reflecting lower steel commodity costs and more competitive market conditions. Foreign currency exchange positively impacted sales by approximately $13 million in the second quarter of 2010 and approximately $33 million in the first six months of 2010 when compared to the corresponding prior-year periods, which reflects a weaker U.S. dollar in the current year.
Gross profit in the second quarter of 2010 was $161.2 million, or 31.3% of net sales, compared to $131.9 million, or 28.6% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2009. Gross profit in the first six months of 2010 was $299.6 million, or 30.4% of net sales, compared to $269.4 million, or 29.3% of net sales, in the first six months of 2009. The year-over-year increases in gross margin for both the second quarter and first six months of 2010 reflect the positive impact from the current year acquisitions, higher production volumes in our Electrical segment and previous actions taken to manage costs, headcount and capacity.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense in the second quarter of 2010 was $105.3 million, or 20.4% of net sales, compared to $93.0 million, or 20.2% of net sales, in the prior-year period. SG&A expense in the first six months of 2010 was $195.0 million, or 19.8% of net sales, compared to $185.6 million, or 20.2% of net sales, in the prior-year period. The second quarter and first six months of 2010 reflect a pre-tax $5.3 million environmental remediation charge. SG&A as a percent of sales in the current year periods reflects our continued overall efforts to tightly manage expenses as well as lower year-over-year pension and compensation costs.
