Goodfellow Reports its Results for the Third Quarter Ended May 31, 2013
(firmenpresse) - DELSON, QUEBEC -- (Marketwired) -- 06/26/13 -- Goodfellow Inc. (TSX: GDL) announced today its financial results for the third quarter ended May 31, 2013. The Company recorded a net income of $2.5 million or $0.29 per share compared to $1.6 million or $0.19 per share during the corresponding period a year ago. Consolidated sales for the three months ended May 31, 2013 were $138.2 million compared to $141.2 million last year. Sales during the third quarter declined due to a late spring weather wise and a progressive slowdown in new housing starts during the latter part of the third quarter. The Canadian housing market conditions were sluggish with new housing starts decreasing 18% to 185,800 units on average (Source: CMHC) for the three months ended May 31, 2013 compared to 227,500 units during the third quarter a year ago. The sales decrease was mitigated by the increased demand for our value-added product lines and the introduction of new product lines compared to last year. The increased demand for value-added products helped improve our gross margins closing at 18.5% compared to 17.1% for the corresponding period a year ago. Cash flow from operations (excluding non-cash working capital income tax and interest paid) for the third quarter of Fiscal 2013 closed at $4.2 million from $3.0 million for the same period last year.
On a year-to-date basis, the Company recorded a net income of $2.3 million or $0.27 per share compared to net income of $1.8 million or $0.22 per share a year ago. Consolidated sales for the nine months ended May 31, 2013 were $345.7 million compared to $348.4 million in the corresponding period. Cash flow from operations (excluding non-cash working capital income tax and interest paid) for the first nine months of Fiscal 2013 increased to $4.9 million from $4.3 million for the same period last year.
"There is no doubt that there is a slowdown in the Canadian economy with housing starts being weak or non-existent in many areas." said Richard Goodfellow, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We expect the 4th Quarter to be more of the same - tough going into the headwinds of a slowing economy - but the 4th Quarter has always produced close to or over half of the year's results and we are postured to push very hard to meet this standard."
