JANEL WORLD TRADE LTD. REPORTS FISCAL YEAR END 2011 REVENUE OF $98.5 MILLION - UP 11% FROM FISCAL YEAR END 2010

REVENUE INCREASES BY $10M TO $98M FOR FISCAL 2011 VERSUS PRIOR YEAR

JAMAICA, NY – January 13, 2012 — Janel World Trade, Ltd. (OTC BB:  JLWT), a full-service global provider of integrated transportation logistics and vertically integrated supply chain services in the food industry, announced today the financial results for its fiscal year ending September 30, 2011.

Year End Results

For the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011, Janel reported revenue of $98,451,107, an increase of $10,022,332, or up 11.3% compared to fiscal year ended September 30, 2010.

For the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011, the Company reported a net loss available to common shareholders of $(672,697) or $(0.03) per fully diluted share, as compared to net income available to common shareholders of $367,849, or $0.02 per fully diluted share for fiscal year ended 2011.

Fourth Quarter 2011 Results

For the three months ending September 30, 2011, Janel reported revenue of $26,820,348, a decrease of $4,339,226 or down 13.9% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010.

For the three months ending September 30, 2011, the Company reported a net loss available to common shareholders of $(282,122) or $(0.01) per fully diluted share, compared to the prior year reported net income available to common shareholders of $152,667, or $0.01 per fully diluted share.

Review and Outlook

 “Taking into account that our fiscal year ending September 30, 2011 includes the start up costs of approximately $367,019 on a pre-tax basis associated with our new Food Industry segment, the results were disappointing for the fiscal year and quarter ended September 30, 2011” said James N. Jannello, Executive Vice President and Chief Executive Officer. “We experienced weaker than expected freight volumes from most of our customers when compared to the prior year, and the bulk of the increase in volume that we did see was from our larger customers, but it was at a higher cost of sales than the prior year.  Consequently, the net impact of the revenue increase to us did not fall to our bottom line.  During the fiscal year we launched our new operating division which is focused on vertical integrated supply chain services primarily in the food industry.  We expect this new division to contribute to our overall gross profit margins in the future.”         
              
Jannello continued, “Looking ahead, we expect improvement in our financial results for fiscal 2012 within our transportation logistics business segment as the economy improves and we plan to continue the expansion of our new operating division focused on vertical supply chain services.  During fiscal 2011 we invested $400,000 in our New Jersey operation and constructed a 15,000 square foot walk/drive-in freezer for our traditional freight forwarding and logistics business which we anticipate will add significant warehouse revenue at higher gross profit margins to our New Jersey operation.”

 
 

 
 
Jannello concluded, “We are focused on significantly improving the results of our core logistics business and moving ahead with the expansion of our new operating division catering to the food industry.   We will not be satisfied until we return our core business to profitability and realize the attractive gross profit margins that we expect from our food distribution network.”
