DELSON, Quebec, Oct. 13, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Goodfellow Inc. (TSX: GDL) (the “Company” or “Goodfellow”) announced today its financial results for the third quarter ended August 31, 2022. The Company reported net earnings of $10.6 million or $1.24 per share compared to net earnings of $10.0 million or $1.17 per share a year ago. Consolidated sales for the three months ended August 31, 2022 were $167.6 million compared to $168.0 million last year.
For the nine months ended August 31, 2022, the Company reported net earnings of $28.2 million or $3.30 per share compared to net earnings of $27.8 million or $3.24 per share a year ago. Consolidated sales were $481.9 million compared to $472.9 million last year.
Results for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 were characteristic for this period where seasonal demand is historically strong, which was unexpected given current inflationary pressures. Attention paid to overhead expenses helped maintain margin levels as cost of goods increased. Inventory levels remain high and it will be crucial to level them out before year end in order for Goodfellow to reach its objectives.
The Board of Directors declared an eligible dividend of $0.50 per share payable on November 10, 2022 to shareholders of record at the close of business on October 27, 2022. This dividend is designated as an eligible dividend under the Income Tax Act (Canada). The declaration, timing, amount and payment of future dividends remain at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
