Second quarter 2022 Net Sales were $1.9 billion, 16% higher than the prior-year quarter. Price was a positive contributor to the improved results, up 23%, partially offset by volume headwinds of (1)% and currency headwinds of (2)%, on a year-over-year basis. Portfolio change, driven by the sale of our Mining Solutions business in 2021, was a (4)% headwind on a year-over-year basis.
Second quarter Net Income was $201 million, resulting in EPS of $1.26, inclusive of a $165 million charge associated with the legacy environmental remediation programs at our Fayetteville Works site. Adjusted Net Income was $302 million. Adjusted EPS was $1.89, up $0.69 vs. the prior-year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2022 rose 30% to $475 million in comparison to $366 million in the prior-year second quarter, a result of higher pricing partially offset by raw material inflation and logistics challenges. Price vs. cost differential continued to be favorable in the second quarter. Currency was a (7)%, or $(27) million headwind vs. the prior-year quarter due to a stronger USD.
