Adam Blumenfeld, Chairman of the Board and CEO, stated: �We are
pleased to announce today�s results which showcase continued strong
operating performance across the platform. It is a testament to our
managers and hardworking employees that virtually every key metric
is moving in the right direction, most notably SG&A, which
actually decreased $671,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008
versus the year-ago comparative period. The combination of top-line
growth, gross margin expansion and year over year expense reduction
proved to be the perfect recipe for significant growth in cash
flows and earnings leverage, allowing the company to produce
operating margins of approximately 10% for the third quarter, and a
47% increase in earnings per share. �Strategically, we are very
pleased with both the performance and positioning of the Company.
In this challenging macroeconomic environment, we believe - more
than ever - entities with a superior balance sheet, seasoned
management and a scalable infrastructure will be rewarded. Sport
Supply Group, with its growing cash position and dominant footprint
within the institutional sporting goods space, has significant
flexibility in terms of next steps. We continue to review a number
of organic and/or acquisition related opportunities as we look to
further enhance the platform and leverage our position in the
marketplace.� Sport Supply Group, Inc. is the nation's leading
marketer, manufacturer and distributor of sporting goods and
branded team uniforms to the institutional and team sports market.
