DELSON, Quebec, July 05, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Goodfellow Inc. (TSX:GDL) announced today its financial results for the second quarter ended May 31, 2018. For the three months ended May 31, 2018, the Company reported a net income of $1.8 million or $0.21 per share compared to a net loss of $0.5 million or $0.07 per share a year ago. Consolidated sales for the three months ended May 31, 2018 were $133.3 million compared to $139.6 million last year.
For the six months ended May 31, 2018, the Company reported a net income of $0.4 million or $0.04 per share compared to a net loss of $5.9 million or $0.70 per share a year ago. Consolidated sales for the six months ended May 31, 2018 were $230.0 million compared to $253.1 million last year. Sales in Canada decreased 9% compared to the same period a year ago due to decrease in sales of pressure treated wood and hardwood products. Sales also declined in the USA by 16% due to reduced demand for hardwood lumber products. Finally, export sales increased 2% during the first six months of fiscal 2018 compared to the same period a year ago mainly due to increasing demand of hardwood products in Asia and Europe. On the operating side, selling and administrative costs decreased overall by $0.3 million and overall gross profit rose by $8.1 million.
“Despite a very harsh winter and delayed spring the Company regained its profitable trajectory as planned in Q2 2018.” said Patrick Goodfellow, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The Company is focused on investing in the maintenance and upgrade of its existing assets to improve efficiency and increase output. Cost control throughout the organization continues to be a main priority”.
