For the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company reported revenues of $155.8 million and net income of $17.4 million, or $0.12 per diluted share.

"We completed another solid quarter of financial and operational results as our Products Division executed well on projects booked in 2008 and our Services Division completed its highest spring nuclear outage season in terms of revenue," stated John Matheson, Global Power's president and chief executive officer. "Although our firm backlog declined quarter to quarter, bidding activity remains healthy but we remain cautious on booking expectations given the macro-economic environment within the power markets."
The Company's gross profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 totaled $27.8 and $54.0 million representing 17.8 and 19.2 percent gross margin compared to gross profit of $27.0 and $46.0 million, or 18.0 and 17.1 percent gross margin, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. EBITDAR (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and reorganization expense) from continuing operations was $15.4 and $32.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $17.1 and $28.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. EBITDAR is a non-GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of our net income to EBITDAR is included in the schedules attached to this press release.
Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 was $2.2 million and $4.8 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 interest expense was $2.7 million and $5.9 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2009, the Company had no draws under its revolving credit facility, however on July 14, 2009, the Company drew down the full amount of the $25 million on the cash advance sub-facility of the Credit Facility in order to secure the available funds as one of the two lenders on the revolver facility was undergoing significant economic difficulties.
At June 30, 2009 the Company's backlog totaled $288 million compared to $344 million at March 31, 2009 and $370 million as of June 30, 2008. In addition, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $83.6 million at June 30, 2009.
