IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Graham Corporation Awarded $2 Million Oil Refinery Contract
     First quarter fiscal 2006 bookings reach $20.4 million
BATAVIA, NY, July 25, 2005 — Graham Corporation (AMEX: GHM), a global designer, manufacturer, and supplier of ejectors, pumps, condensers, vacuum systems and heat exchangers for the oil refining, petrochemical and power generation industries, today announced it was awarded a contract valued at over $2 million for an ejector system to be installed in Petróleos Mexicanos’ (PEMEX) Minatitlan Refinery. Shipment of the equipment is scheduled for Graham’s fourth fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2006.
The ejector system is part of a planned refinery upgrade to boost this facility’s capacity for processing heavy sour crude, a lower cost raw material than higher priced sweet crude oil, as well as produce increased quantities of high-octane, cleaner burning fuels to meet stricter environmental standards.
Bill Johnson, President and CEO of Graham Corporation commented, “We are pleased to have won this contract with PEMEX over other European and local suppliers being considered. Our proven experience, strong engineering-based solutions and quality product provided PEMEX with the confidence to select Graham for this project.”
Mr. Johnson went on to say, “Our orders continue to be positively impacted by oil refinery upgrades necessary to process lower cost, heavy crude oil and to meet lower sulfur content requirements for transportation fuels. This is our sixth major oil refinery contract win in the past three months, for an aggregate total exceeding $4 million. These projects contributed to a very strong first quarter fiscal 2006 order level, which reached $20.4 million.”
Graham is scheduled to release first quarter fiscal 2006 results on July 27, 2005. Graham’s senior management team will host a conference call and webcast on July 28, 2005 at 3:00 p.m. eastern time to discuss Graham’s performance in the first quarter fiscal year 2006, which ended June 30, 2005.
