The improvement in operating earnings was driven by increased factory utilization, and a significantly improved pricing environment across most of the Company's product lines and geographies, including a reduction in the time to recover raw material inflation. Also, strong productivity gains in several of the Company's North American manufacturing facilities, as well as factory improvements in Europe Europe (yr`əp), 6th largest continent, c.4,000,000 sq mi (10,360,000 sq km) including adjacent islands (1992 est. pop. 512,000,000).  and Asia Pacific from the application of LEAN manufacturing Lean manufacturing is the production of goods using less of everything compared to mass production: less human effort, less manufacturing space, less investment in tools, and less engineering time to develop a new product.  techniques, have led to improved earnings. In addition, during the second quarter, as a result of certain customer shipments being delayed into the third quarter, the Company benefited from copper hedge positions that were closed in June prior to the recognition of the hedged sale transactions. The Company also benefited from the forward purchase of a small portion of its copper requirements due to concerns over supply tightness.

Operating earnings for the second quarter were $30.8 million, up $20.6 million or three times greater than the second quarter of 2005 and resulted in an improvement in operating margins of 420 basis points to 7.0%.

Communication cables segment revenues declined about 3% on a metal-adjusted basis without the impact of acquisitions. Networking sales globally were up approximately 30%. The increase in networking sales is a result of strong demand for higher performance cables and warranted systems as well as accelerating pricing in the market. The Company's products supporting the General Cable-Panduit alliance have gained wide acceptance in the marketplace, particularly by the Fortune 1000 in North America.

. In all, segment operating earnings were up $8.5 million to $14.4 million, an increase of 144%.

Selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2006 were $59.1 million compared to $43.3 million in the second quarter of 2005. The increase in expenses is due principally to the addition of Silec and Beru, acquired in late 2005, higher commissions and other selling costs resulting from increased sales, as well as an increase in performance based incentive compensation. Selling, general and administrative expenses were 6.0% and 5.2% of metal-adjusted net sales in the second quarter of 2006 and 2005, respectively.

The Company's effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2006 was 29.7%; lower than the statutory rate due to a reduction in deferred state tax valuation allowances of approximately $3.7 million and a reduction in the expected full-year effective rate to 36.5%. The combined items increased reported earnings per share for the second quarter by $0.09.
