CORRECTED: Record Revenues and Earnings for Greystone Logistics
TULSA, Okla., July 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Greystone Logistics, Inc. (OTCBB: GLGI). Customer demand in the fourth quarter for a broad range of recycled plastic shipping pallets and steady sales volume for reprocessed plastic for resale drove record sales and income at Greystone for the year ending May 31, 2012 ("Greystone Logistics" or the "Company").
Tulsa-based Greystone Logistics recorded sales for the corporate year ending May 31, 2012, or fiscal year 2012, of $24,186,047 compared to $20,501,824 in fiscal year 2011 for an increase of $3,684,223 or 18%.

Net income available to the common shareholders of Greystone Logistics for fiscal year 2012 was $1,934,039, or $.07 per share, compared to a net loss in fiscal year 2011 of $(770,095), or ($.03) per share. Earnings before interest taxes depreciation or amortization (EBITDA) for the Company, excluding EBITDA with respect to non-controlling interests, were $3,889,956 for fiscal year 2012.
Warren Kruger, CEO, stated, "Our entire organization is delivering on the Company's goals and producing results that are in line with the expectations laid out in our business plan. The diligence and patience exhibited while working through an extended series of challenges and opportunities is being rewarded. Plastic pallets are more frequently being recognized as a necessity rather than a luxury and our 100% recycled plastic products help the environment while providing sustainable money saving solutions. Growth is coming from a broad range of products with concentrations in the beverage, agriculture, and pharmaceutical industries." Kruger continued, "Looking ahead to our corporate fiscal year 2013, we will earnestly continue to build value for our shareholders as I anticipate a double digit increase in revenue from resin sales, current pallet designs and new products and innovations in the pipeline."
Greystone Logistics is a "Green" manufacturing and leasing company that reprocesses and sells recycled plastic and designs, manufactures, sells and leases high quality 100% recycled plastic pallets that provide logistical solutions needed by a wide range of industries such as the food and beverage, automotive, chemical, pharmaceutical and consumer products. The Company's technology, including that used in its injection molding equipment, proprietary blend of recycled plastic resins and patented pallet designs, allows production of high quality pallets quickly and at lower costs than many processes. The recycled plastic for its pallets helps control material costs while reducing environmental waste and provides cost advantages over users of virgin resin. Excess plastic not used in production of pallets is reprocessed for resale.
