Goodfellow Reports its Results for the First Quarter Ended November 30, 2013

DELSON, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Dec 19, 2013) - Goodfellow Inc. (TSX:GDL) announced today its financial results for the first quarter ended November 30, 2013. The Company generated net earnings of $1.2 million or $0.14 per share compared to net earnings of $0.7 million or $0.09 per share a year ago. Consolidated sales for the first quarter were $110.4 million compared to $112.0 million for the same period a year ago. Sales in the US and export activities were strong throughout the first quarter while the economy and housing starts in Canada faced some headwind. Sales grew in most regions except Quebec and the Atlantic provinces where demand from retailers and manufacturers declined rapidly in the latter part of the quarter. Ontario, Western Canada, the US and exports posted a good performance to offset this decline. On the operating side, many measures were taken to reduce our cost structure. As a result, direct, selling and administrative expenses decreased 2.5% or $0.5 million.

"Business conditions remain very tenuous and competitive going into this early winter in Canada. We must be very careful managing our working capital." said Richard Goodfellow, President and Chief Executive Officer. "The decline in the Canadian dollar should yield benefits for us and our manufacturing customer base."

Goodfellow Inc. is one of eastern Canada's largest independent re-manufacturers and distributors of lumber and hardwood flooring products. Goodfellow shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol GDL.
