Gross margin also increased from the prior year second quarter of 19.2 percent of total net sales and 21.3 percent of PCB sales. Mikel Williams, Chief Executive Officer of DDi Corp., stated, "I am very pleased with our second quarter's operating performance as well as the financial results for the period. During the quarter, we registered solid gains in meeting customer demand and loaded our facilities with a better mix of work, which along with improved manufacturing performance and tight cost controls, resulted in our best quarter's performance in years."
