(June 5, 2003) -- Graham Corporation (GHM:ASE) today reported results for the fiscal year and fourth quarter ended March 31, 2003. Sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 were $49,378,000.

The Company had reserved capacity in previous quarters for a large electrical power condenser that was placed on hold. During the fourth quarter this order was formally cancelled, which resulted in a before income tax gain of $1,801,000. Also, the Company recorded a provision for employee severance expense of $658,000. By comparison, sales for the previous fiscal year were $47,396,000 producing a net income of $2,305,000, or diluted earnings per share of $1.38. Sales for the fourth quarter of the previous fiscal year were $11,923,000 producing net income of $2,211,000 or diluted earnings per share of $1.32. Four electric power condenser orders were cancelled in the fourth quarter. The effect on income before tax of these terminated orders was $3,989,000. New orders for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 were $40,596,000 compared to $54,464,000 for the previous full fiscal year. New orders for the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 were $12,372,000, the highest level of quarterly bookings for the year.

Al Cadena, President and Chief Executive Officer of Graham, commented, "Graham's markets continue to be extremely competitive.
