MEDWAY, MA, October 20, 2009 – Cybex International, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYBI), a leading manufacturer of premium exercise equipment for the commercial and consumer markets, today reported results for its third quarter ended September 26, 2009.

Net sales for the third quarter of 2009 were $29.0 million compared to $35.8 million for the corresponding 2008 period. The Company reported net income for the third quarter of 2009 of $0.1 million, or $0.00 per diluted share, compared to $0.3 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, reported for the corresponding 2008 period.

For the nine months ended September 26, 2009, net sales decreased to $85.7 million compared to $108.7 million for 2008. The loss for the nine months ended September 26, 2009 was $3.4 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.8 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for 2008.

John Aglialoro, Chairman and CEO stated, “During the past year, CYBEX has focused on broadening into additional market segments as the health club market has remained stagnant. This has included not only new product positioning, but broader marketing and sales approaches which I believe will position CYBEX well for 2010. In the meantime, I appreciate the efforts our employees have made this year and commend our managers for balancing cost reductions with investments needed to promote the long-term success of CYBEX.”

Arthur Hicks, President and CFO stated, “During the quarter, we renegotiated our financial covenants with our banks. We were in compliance with these financial covenants as of the end of the quarter, and expect to remain in compliance for the foreseeable future.”
