Goodfellow Reports Its Results for the Second Quarter Ended May 31, 2023

Goodfellow Inc. (TSX: GDL) (the “Company” or “Goodfellow”) announced today its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023.

For the three months ended May 31, 2023, the Company reported net earnings of $6.6 million or $0.77 per share compared to net earnings of $12.5 million or $1.46 per share a year ago, while consolidated sales were $142.3 million compared to $184.9 million last year.

For the six months ended May 31, 2023, the Company reported net earnings of $6.4 million or $0.75 per share compared to net earnings of $17.7 million or $2.06 per share a year ago, while consolidated sales were $248.3 million compared to $314.3 million last year.

Given the slowing economy and widespread market uncertainty, the decline in seasonal demand was in line with expectations. Goodfellow's experienced team has continued to provide excellent service to clients from coast to coast, while diligently managing increased overhead costs to achieve strong results. While these results are lower than last year, they represent a solid performance for the second quarter.
