Goodfellow Reports Its Results for Q3-2009

DELSON, QUEBEC, Jun 29 (MARKET WIRE) --
Goodfellow Inc. (TSX: GDL) announced today its financial results for the
third quarter ended May 31, 2009. Consolidated sales reached $110.2
million compared to $131.5 million a year ago. Results from operations
for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 show a net income of $2.1 million or
$0.24 per share compared to $1.7 million or $0.20 per share a year ago.
The third quarter of fiscal 2009 was impacted by the overall slowdown in
the Canadian and US economy combined with the depressed housing market on
both sides of the border. The Company's gross margin increased to an
average of 19.1% compared to 18.1% last year impacted by a strong
performance of our traditional value-added product mix. In addition, the
Company focused on controlling its operating costs to adapt to the
business conditions which remained difficult. With the weakened economy
and tight credit conditions, additional bad debt provisions were taken
during the third quarter. Finally, low interest rate combined with lower
bank indebtedness resulted in savings which helped the Company achieve
these results.

For the nine months ended May 31, 2009, consolidated sales reached $312.6
million compared to $348.8 million for the same period a year ago. The
Company generated net income from operations for the nine months ended
May 31, 2009 of $2.3 million or $0.27 per share. The results from
operations excludes a non recurring gain of $3.1 million or $0.37 per
share which represents the revaluation at fair value of fixed assets
exchanged resulting from the expropriation of part of our Delson
facility. Consequently net income for the first nine months of fiscal
2009 reached $5.5 million or $0.64 per share compared to $3.6 million or
$0.42 per share a year ago. Finally, cash flow from operations (excluding
non-cash working capital) for the first nine months ended May 31, 2009
decreased to $3.5 million from $4.8 million for the same period last year.

"Challenging times continue for us in most of our market areas but
decisions taken recently helped us return to operating profitability
during the third quarter" said Richard Goodfellow, President and Chief
Executive Officer. "We are now poised for our key fourth quarter and it
is expected sales levels will continue below expectations but we should
remain at similar profit levels to last year. Our order files continue to
remain relatively strong and the fourth quarter has traditionally been
the best one for the company."

Goodfellow Inc. is one of eastern Canada's largest independent
re-manufacturers and distributors of lumber and hardwood flooring
