Flanders Corporation (NASDAQ: FLDR)

-- Increased gross margins 600 basis points compared to second quarter
2008
-- Delivered $5.6 million in EBITDA, more than doubling second quarter
2008
Flanders Corporation (NASDAQ: FLDR) reported financial results
for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009.
Flanders Corporation's Chairman, president and CEO Harry Smith
said: "Our second quarter results build upon our achievements and
prove the steps taken to improve our business are paying off. As a
result of better sales and marketing efforts, we grew second
quarter 2009 revenue 2.5%, compared to the same period last year,
even though a nationwide drop in June temperatures caused orders to
be softer than originally expected. Our backlog for the third
quarter is strong, and we are excited about the second half of
2009. We also continue to make great strides in our research and
development efforts to improve our current products, introduce new
technology and expand our product line with existing
customers."
"In addition, we are excited to welcome Tom Justice as our new
COO. Bringing his 28 years of diverse experience in the air
filtration industry to the team, Tom will play an integral role to
achieve operational excellence and to develop innovative new
products," added Smith.
Financial Summary - Second Quarter 2009
Revenue for the second quarter 2009 was $58.7 million, compared
to $57.3 million in the second quarter 2008. Gross margin for the
first quarter was 21%, compared to 15% in the second quarter 2008.
The second quarter 2009 net income was $2.4 million, or $0.09 per
diluted share. This compares to the second quarter of 2008 net
income of $6.9 million, which included a $6.8 million gain for
extraordinary items, or $0.26 per diluted share. EBITDA for the
second quarter 2009 was $5.6 million, compared to $2.1 million in
the second quarter of 2008.
Management uses some measures not in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to evaluate the results of
the company's operations and believes earnings before interest,
taxes, extraordinary items, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA)
provides a useful measure of operations.
Flanders' Chief Financial Officer John Oakley said: "We
delivered revenue increases even during the recession, and we are
poised to grow in the second half. Equally important, our
procurement and procedural measures continue to post results.
Second quarter gross margins increased 600 basis points and EBITDA
grew $3.4 million to $5.6 million, compared to second quarter 2008.
Looking ahead, we are adjusting our guidance to reflect continuing
economic conditions in commercial & industrial. Nonetheless, we
are still quite optimistic about growth and profitability in
2009."

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $106.7
million, compared to $106.5 million for the same period a year ago.
Gross margin for the period was 21%, compared to 16% for the same
period a year ago. Year-to-date net income was $4.2 million, or
$0.16 per diluted share, compared to net income of $9.3 million,
which included an $8.3 million gain for extraordinary items, or

Financial Outlook - Full Year 2009

between $235 million and $246 million.
