These year-over-year declines in gross profit were partially offset by $12.8 million of savings from ongoing efficiency and productivity (collectively Rapid Continuous Improvement or RCI) initiatives and other cost reduction activities, including benefits from restructuring and material cost reduction. As a percentage of sales, gross profit margin was 43.1% in the second quarter of 2009, as compared to 45.2% in 2008.

These year-over-year declines in operating expenses were partially offset by $3.0 million of higher pension expense as a result of declines in pension asset values and $1.0 million of higher restructuring costs. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses were 33.9% in the second quarter of 2009, as compared to 32.1% in 2008.
