DELSON, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - June 25, 2010) - Goodfellow Inc. (TSX:GDL) today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended May 31, 2010. Net income from operations was $3.8 million or $0.45 per share compared to a net income of $2.1 million or $0.24 per share a year ago. Consolidated sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 were $140.0 million compared to $110.2 million for the same period a year ago. Cash flow from operations (excluding non-cash working capital) for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 increased to $3.2 million from $2.5 million for the same period last year. Sales in Canada grew 26% due to strong performances in all regional areas of our business and diversification of our product offering in Ontario and Western Canada. Sales in the US increased 33% due to market conditions improving throughout the spring season. Export sales increased 67% compared to last year due mainly to a strong performance in the UK and increasing sales to China and the Middle East. General expenses, selling and administrative costs for the third quarter ended May 31, 2010 increased from $17.1 million last year to $21.0 million. The increase reflects higher staffing and overhead costs to respond to the growth generated in the 3rd quarter. Selling and administrative costs reflects increased commission and profit sharing provisions, temporary staffing for the spring and summer season and higher energy costs linked with the increased production output. On the other hand, Bad debt provisions were 55% lower than last year when customer's credit limits were being reduced.

"The quarter, although not a record one, put us back on track to restore our yearly sales numbers to pre-recession levels." said Richard Goodfellow, President and Chief Executive Officer. "The contribution from our Ontario group was improved and all efforts are now focused on our key fourth quarter".

For the 9 months ended May 31, 2010, Consolidated Sales reached $357.1 million compared to $312.6 million for the same period last year. Net results from operations for the 9 months ended May 31, 2010 was $7.8 million or $0.91 per share compared to $2.3 million or $0.27 per share. Including the extraordinary gain of $3.2 million or $0.37 per share related to the revaluation at fair value, net income for the 9 months of fiscal 2009 reached $5.5 million or $0.64 per share.
