SEATTLE, WASHINGTON...August 08, 2008...Todd Shipyards Corporation (NYSE:TOD) announced financial results for the first quarter ended June 29, 2008.  For the quarter, we reported a net loss of $1.3 million or $0.23 per diluted share on revenue of $18.2 million.  For the prior year first quarter ended July 1, 2007, we reported net income of $0.5 million or $0.08 per diluted share on revenue of $36.5 million.

Our first quarter revenue of $18.2 million reflects a decrease of $18.3 million or 50% from the same period last fiscal year.  The quarter to quarter decrease largely results from lower volumes of ship repair and new construction activity for government and commercial customers.  Several large projects were completed in fiscal year 2008. We previously reported that we received a notice from DCAA questioning the reasonableness of a payment to one of our subcontractors on the 2005 dPIA for work performed on the aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis. Subsequent to the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 the DCAA and the Navy concluded that certain payments to the subcontractor and some related costs incurred by us on the 2005 dPIA are unallowable.  We have established a $3.1 million cost claim reserve which is reflected in the first quarter earnings as a reduction in revenue. We continue to believe that the costs were legitimate and will appeal this matter either to the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals or directly to Federal Court.

For the quarter ended June 29, 2008, we reported an operating loss of $2.9 million.  In the prior year quarter ended July 1, 2007, we reported an operating loss of $0.5million.  The decrease in operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 versus the first quarter of the prior year primarily results from the changes in revenue noted above.
We reported investment and other income of $1.0 million and $1.3 million for the quarters ended June 29, 2008 and July 1, 2007, respectively.

For the first quarter ended June 29, 2008, we reported a loss before income taxes of $2.0million and recorded $0.7 million of federal income tax benefit, resulting in a net loss for the period of $1.3 million.  For the prior year first quarter ended July 1, 2007, we reported income before income taxes of $0.7 million and recorded federal income tax expenseof $0.2 million, resulting in net income reported for the period of $0.5 million.
