A SPECIAL STATEMENT

December 1st, 2016 to November 30th, 2017 must be evaluated and perceived as a year of transition and correction. All attempts were made to address very compromising issues related to the very dark chapter in the same previous period. Management had the objective of restoring stability and profitability as aggressively as possible. Q3 and Q4 2017 signaled a return to profitable operations for Goodfellow Inc.

The Company has successfully renewed its traditional cash flow banking arrangement with the TD/BMO syndicate. The Company’s ability to quickly right size inventory, reduce the operating loan and return to profitability promptly made this renewal with our loyal lenders possible. The Company is very grateful for its strong banking relationship. The Company would also like to recognize and thank its key suppliers that have supported Goodfellow Inc. and look forward to further strengthening those relationships.

Goodfellow Inc. is a distributor of lumber products, building materials, and hardwood flooring products. Goodfellow shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol GDL.
