“We are very pleased to report a return to profitability in the first quarter of our new fiscal year, exclusive of these expenses that were primarily non-cash in nature,” stated Michael E. Broll, chief executive officer. “This represents the achievement of a major milestone in the company’s turnaround strategy and primarily reflects the elimination of significant costs through the outsourcing of our manufacturing and distribution activities. This was evident in the improvement in our gross margin to 35.2% of sales in the most recent quarter, compared with 23.0% in the prior-year period, along with a 50% reduction in delivery expenses as a percentage of net sales from year-earlier levels.


“As anticipated, net sales declined in the first quarter as we eliminated unprofitable or marginally profitable accounts and non-core product lines. Our strategy is to increase the effectiveness of our price-based promotions to generate higher sales of our more profitable branded products, but the elimination of marginally profitable private label and other products will result in lower net sales during the balance of Fiscal 2007, when compared with prior-year periods. Looking forward, management intends to pursue sales and marketing opportunities that have the ability to realize Galaxy’s potential as a strong brand leader in the cheese alternative niche of the ‘healthy’ foods marketplace,” concluded Broll.
