Cagles (CGLA) 8-K Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Atlanta, Georgia

PRESS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Cagle's Inc. today reported financial results for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2008.

For fiscal 2008, the company reported a loss of ($0.77) million or ($0.17) per diluted share compared to a profit of $.56 million or $0.12 per diluted share for fiscal 2007. Earnings for fiscal 2007 results included a pretax profit of $18 million from the sale of the Company’s minority interest in a joint venture. Operating income for fiscal 2008 was $.14 million compared to a loss of ($12.6) million for fiscal 2007.  

Revenues for fiscal 2008 increased 21.2% to $283.6 million reflecting additional pounds marketed coupled with an average price per pound increase of 11.2%. Fiscal year cost of sales increased 15.6% largely due to the continued increase in our feed ingredient prices which rose 31.5% or $23.5 million over the same period last year.

On April 10, 2008 Cagle’s announced a 4% cutback in production. Recent industry cutbacks are now being reflected in declining egg sets and chick placements which we expect to result in improved chicken prices that will outpace feed cost and return the company to positive margins.
