starting to see our operational improvement initiatives positively

division compared to the comparable period last year was significantly
driven by operational improvements implemented during the quarter",

ended March 31, 2012 - an increase of $1.5 million, or 12%, over its
sales in the same period in 2011. Sales in the Company's aerospace and
power generation products division during the three-months ended March

same period in the previous year. This net increase in profitability
reflected:




  • Stronger gross profit levels due to higher production volumes resulting

    foreign exchange gain of $0.1 million in 2011; and

    unrealized foreign exchange loss of $0.03 million in 2011, partially
    offset by


  • A provision for deferred tax in 2012 of $0.5 million vs. a recovery of
    $0.2 million in 2011.



Outlook



The Company continues to see strong demand from customers and healthy
fundamentals in the end markets it serves. "Our production backlog of
$51.5 million is evidence of the confidence our customers have in the
Company's ability to consistently deliver product of the highest
quality," said Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial
Officer, Garen Mikirditsian.



The Company expects demand for its services to remain robust in the near
term. "With market forecasts pointing to a prolonged upcycle of orders
and production in the commercial aircraft industry, we expect demand
for our aerospace products to remain strong", said Mr. Mikirditsian.��
"We also see distinct opportunities to grow our business with certain
of our current customers and expand our relationships in the aerospace,
oil & gas, industrial and nuclear sectors."



General Donlee's outlook for sustainable and profitable growth is also
grounded on its consistent focus on continuous improvement.
"Operational excellence is key to the Company's strategy, and we are
starting to see our operational improvement initiatives positively
impacting our overall performance. More specifically, we are happy to
note that the impressive performance of our specialty precision
division compared to the comparable period last year was significantly
driven by operational improvements implemented during the quarter",
added Mr. Mikirditsian.

Company: General Donlee Canada Inc.
Stock Name: GDI
Amount: CAD 0.0825
Announcement Date: 09/03/2012
Record Date: 28/03/2012

Dividend Detail:




TORONTO, March 9, 2012 /CNW/ - General Donlee Canada Inc. ("General
Donlee" or the "Company") (TSX: GDI) today announced its results for
the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2011. The Board has
declared a quarterly dividend of $0.0825 per common share payable on
April 16, 2012 to holders of record at the close of business on March
30, 2012
.



Financial highlights relating to General Donlee's fourth quarter 2011:




  • Sales of $11.8 million, up 10% compared to Q4 2010


  • Net income of $1.7 million or $0.159 per share, an increase of $0.3
    million
    over Q4 2010


  • Sales order backlog of $55.4 million at December 31, 2011, up $10.6
    million
    from year-end 2010


  • Quarterly dividend of $0.0825 per share paid to shareholders on January
    16, 2012




Financial highlights relating to the year 2011:




  • Sales of $48.9 million, up 19% compared to 2010


  • Net income of $4.6 million or $0.433 per share, an increase of $1.7
    million
    over 2010


  • Dividends totaling $0.33 per share declared to shareholders in 2011



On February 29, 2012, the Company announced that it has renewed its
Long-Term Agreement (LTA) with an existing major aerospace customer
with total revenue relating to the LTA estimated at approximately US$95
million over the 4-year term of the extension, representing a
significant increase in annual volume compared to 2011.



Consistent growth in sales and positive cash flow from operations



"General Donlee's 10% increase in sales in the fourth quarter and 19%
increase in sales year-to-date over the comparable periods last year
continue to reflect strong fundamentals in the industries we serve and
our ability to grow our business with current and new customers. As a
result, in the fourth quarter we generated $1.5 million of positive
cash flow from operations before changes in working capital, and paid
out $0.88 million in quarterly dividends to shareholders" said Chief
Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, Garen
Mikirditsian.



Growing backlog



"At December 31, 2011, our production order backlog was at a 4-year high
of $55.4 million, up by $10.6 million or 24% relative to our backlog at
the end of 2010," said Mr. Mikirditsian. "The strong backlog supports a
positive outlook and is evidence of the confidence our customers have
in the Company's ability to consistently deliver product of the highest
quality. We expect demand to remain robust in 2012."



Impact of stronger Canadian dollar at year-end



"Our net income for the quarter reflects a net foreign exchange gain of
$0.6 million mainly resulting from a non-cash mark-to-market gain on
our long-term hedging program due to the strength of the Canadian
dollar. Net income was $1.7 million for the quarter, an increase of
$0.3 million or 21% over the similar period in 2010," said Mr.
Mikirditsian
.



To mitigate its exposure to currency fluctuations, General Donlee has a
rolling hedging program with a chartered Canadian bank through which it
reduces its U.S. dollar exposure by entering into foreign exchange
forward contracts. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had foreign
exchange forward contracts outstanding to sell $18.4 million U.S.
dollars and to buy Canadian dollars at an average exchange rate of CAD
$1.0285. In addition, the Company's significant U.S. dollar purchases
of raw materials and outside services provide a natural hedge in its
U.S. dollar exposure.

Stock Name: GDI
Amount: CAD 0.0825
Announcement Date: 07/11/2011
Record Date: 28/12/2011

Dividend Detail:




TORONTO, Nov. 7, 2011 /CNW/ - General Donlee Canada Inc. (the
"Corporation," the "Company" or "General Donlee") (TSX: GDI) today
announced its results for the third quarter, ended September 30, 2011.
The Board has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.0825 per common share
payable on January 16, 2012 to holders of record at the close of
business on December 30, 2011.



Financial highlights relating to General Donlee's third quarter 2011
include:




  • Sales of $12.5 million, up 25% compared to Q3 2010


  • $2.0 million in cash flow from operations before changes in working
    capital, an increase of 55% compared to Q3 2010


  • Net income of $0.5 million compared to net income of $1.4 million in Q3
    2010


  • Sales order backlog of $53.6 million at September 30, 2011, up $8.8
    million
    from year-end 2010


  • Quarterly dividend of $0.0825 per share announced on September 22, 2011
    and paid to shareholders on October 14, 2011



Consistent growth in sales and positive cash flow from operations



"General Donlee's 25% increase in sales in the third quarter and 22%
increase in sales year-to-date over the comparable periods last year
continue to reflect improving fundamentals in the industries we serve
and our ability to grow our business with current and new customers. As
a result, in the third quarter we generated $2.0 million of positive
cash flow from operations before changes in working capital, and paid
out $0.88 million in quarterly dividends to shareholders," said Interim
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Garen
Mikirditsian.



Strong production



"Our production order backlog which has grown by $8.8 million in the
first nine months of 2011 remains strong at $53.6 million, up 20%
relative to our backlog at the end of last year," said Mr.
Mikirditsian
. "The strong backlog builds confidence for the future and
is evidence that our customer-focused business strategy is yielding
positive, concrete results. Based on the increased rate of quoting
activity we've seen in 2011, we expect demand to remain robust."



Impact of stronger USD at quarter-end



"Our net income for the quarter reflects a net foreign exchange loss of
$0.5 million mainly resulting from a non-cash mark-to-market loss of
$0.7 million on our long-term hedging program due to the USD gaining
strength at the end of the month of September. Net income for the third
quarter also reflects a $0.2 million provision for deferred taxes.
Excluding the impact of foreign exchange gains or losses and deferred
taxes, net income for the third quarter of 2011 was $1.2 million, a 60%
increase compared to net income of $0.75 million in the similar period
in 2010," said Mr. Mikirditsian.

rolling hedging program with a chartered Canadian bank through which it

of raw materials and outside services provide a partial offset in its
U.S. dollar exposure.

General Donlee delivered sales of $37.1 million in the first nine months
of 2011 - an increase of $6.7 million, or 22%, over its sales in the
same period in 2010. Sales in the Company's aerospace and power
generation products division during the first nine month period ended
September 30, 2011 were $23.2 million - up by 27%, or $5.0 million,
over the comparable period in 2010. General Donlee's industrial
products division's sales during the same period were $13.9 million, an
increase of $1.7 million or 14% over the same period last year.



The Company's net income during the nine months ended September 30, 2011
was $2.9 million, compared to net income of $1.5 million during the
same period in the previous year. This increase in profitability
reflected:




  • Stronger gross profit levels resulting from improved sales, net of the
    negative impact of a rising Canadian dollar


  • An accounting gain of $0.7 million on pension curtailment.



Outlook



The continuing growth in General Donlee's sales volumes during the first
nine months of 2011 reflects increasing demand within the industries
the Company serves, and General Donlee's ability to remain a supplier
of choice for many customers thanks to the expertise of its employees,
its continuous improvements in operational effectiveness, and a
commitment to invest in production capacity. "We are seeing an overall
increase in business activity. In addition to benefiting from robust
fundamentals tied to growing global demand for aerospace products, we
are noting strong traction with customers in the oil and gas and
industrial products sectors," said Interim Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, Garen Mikirditsian.



The Company's strong operating performance is also a result of its focus
on continuously improving its operations, and an emphasis on achieving
increasing integration between its two operating divisions. "Through
further integration, we are able to optimize capacity utilization,
share best practices and serve our customers better, " said Mr.
Mikirditsian
. "Furthermore, increased sharing of resources allows us to
achieve cost synergies which result in improved profitability for our
business," added Mr. Mikirditsian.
