Construction/Building — November 6, 2012

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Nov. 6, 2012) - PFB Corporation (TSX:PFB) reports its financial results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012, and declares regular quarterly dividend.

Results for the Three Month and Nine Month Periods Ended September 30, 2012

Consolidated income for the three month period ended September 30, 2012, was $316,000, basic earnings per share of $0.05, compared to income of $2,870,000, basic earnings per share of $0.44, reported in the comparative three month period of 2011. Sales in the three month period ended September 30, 2012, were $23,298,000 as compared to sales of $28,920,000 in the comparative three month period of 2011.

Sales to a large public works project were $893,000 compared with $4,991,000 in the comparative period of 2011, accounting for $4,098,000 of the decrease in sales. This project is reaching a close in the fourth quarter but there are significant volumes to be delivered under new awarded contracts in both Q4 and in 2013. Additionally, third quarter sales by the USA operations decreased by $1,884,000 when compared to the 2011 period. The timing of sales recognition is the source of these differences. Currently both Canadian and USA operations are experiencing order book strength.

Consolidated income reported in the current quarter includes the deduction of one-time acquisition costs of $309,000 ($226,000 after tax), that relate to legal and due diligence charges as a result of business development activities. Unrealized foreign exchange losses during the quarter of $532,000 ($388,000 after tax) arose from the combined impact of out-of-the-money forward foreign exchange contracts, revaluing larger than normal cash balances held in USD, and revaluing a currency sensitive loan between operating segments. A non-recurring gain on an insurance claim of $726,000 ($463,000 after tax) was recorded in the comparative period of 2011.

The consolidated results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, were income of $306,000, basic earnings per share of $0.05, compared to income of $2,230,000, basic earnings per share of $0.34, reported in the comparative nine month period of 2011. Sales in the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, were $64,576,000 compared to sales of $65,791,000 in the comparative nine month period of 2011, a decrease of $1,215,000.

Shipments to the large public works project were $6,284,000 during the nine month period of 2012 compared with shipments of $11,156,000 in the comparative period of 2011. Additionally, during the nine month period of 2012, one-time acquisition costs of $1,083,000 ($791,000 after tax) were incurred that relate to legal and due diligence charges as a result of possible corporate transactions and unrealized foreign exchange losses amounted to $489,000 ($357,000 after tax).
