Press Release

Global Power Equipment Group Inc.

Announces Third Quarter 2011 Financial Results

IRVING, Texas, November 14, 2011- Global Power Equipment Group Inc. (NASDAQ: GLPW) (“Global Power” or the “Company”) today announced its unaudited financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. These results are available on the Company’s website at www.globalpower.com.

For the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company reported revenue of $99.2 million and net income of $18.5 million, or $1.09 per diluted common share. Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $107.5 million and net income was $14.7 million, or $0.89 per diluted share. Services Division revenue as a percentage of consolidated revenue was 63% for the third quarter 2011, down from 74% for the same period in 2010.

Operating results for the Company’s former Deltak unit have been reclassified to discontinued operations due to its sale that closed this quarter. Income from continuing operations was $6.7 million, or $0.39 per diluted common share for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, and $8.9 million, or $0.54 per diluted common share for the same period in 2010.

“The third quarter results were solid and exceeded our expectations across the board. Gross margins were above plan in both segments as both Braden and Williams had favorable job close-outs,” commented David Keller, President and CEO of Global Power. “Our book-to-ship ratio was 1.2 at Braden and 1.3 at Williams, resulting in a strong quarterly build in backlog. Braden booked another significant gas turbine SCR project in the U.S. and also initiated a comprehensive upgrade to our Braden Mexico facility to enhance security measures and shop floor productivity. Williams reported outstanding year-to-date safety statistics in every measured performance category which were already at industry leading levels.”

“Corporate was also busy as we completed the sale of Deltak with a pre-tax gain to book value of $17.3 million and completed the relocation of our corporate headquarters to Dallas. From our new location we have secured key hires necessary to in-source internal audit, compliance, and accounting functions which has resulted in better control, visibility and pace of process improvements while reducing our annual run rate on professional fees.”

“Finally, I am delighted that our cash balances improved by $34.6 million in the quarter and that we registered our fifteenth consecutive quarter with positive operating income resulting in a year over year increase in stockholders’ equity of $76.6 million, up 44% over the last four quarters. In summary, a very productive quarter of tangible achievements against a weak macro environment and increasing risks to future growth.”


The Company generated EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) from continuing operations of $8.1 million and $10.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of our income from continuing operations to EBITDA is included in the schedules attached to this press release.

In addition, the Company's backlog increased $23.4 million from June 30, 2011 to $339.8 million as of September 30, 2011. Services accounted for 63% of backlog at quarter end, which was in line with the prior quarter. Backlog is not a measure defined by GAAP, and our methodology for determining backlog may vary from the methodology used by other companies in determining their backlog amounts. Backlog may not be indicative of future operating results and projects in our backlog may be cancelled, modified or otherwise altered by our customers.

As of September 30, 2011, the Company had unrestricted cash of $88.2 million and $25.0 million of unused capacity under its revolving credit facility. The cash balance included proceeds from the third quarter divestiture of Deltak’s operating assets.

The Company will host a conference call on Tuesday, November 15, 2011 at 10:30 a.m. Central Time (11:30 a.m. Eastern Time) to discuss these results. The call can be accessed live over the telephone by dialing (877) 407-3982, or for international callers, (201) 493-6780. A replay will be available shortly after the call and can be accessed by dialing (877) 870-5176, or for international callers, (858) 384-5517. The passcode for the replay is 382080. The replay will be available until November 29, 2011.

EBITDA from continuing operations represents income from continuing operations adjusted for income taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization. The Company believes EBITDA is an important supplemental measure of operating performance and uses it to assess performance and inform operating decisions. However, EBITDA is not a GAAP financial measure. The Company’s calculation of EBITDA should not be used as a substitute for GAAP measures of performance, including net cash provided by operations, operating income and net income. The Company’s method of calculating EBITDA may vary substantially from the methods used by other companies and investors are cautioned not to rely unduly on it.
