CGL.A Cagles,

ATLANTA, June 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cagle's, Inc. (Amex: CGL.A) reported net income of $2.5 million or $0.55 per share for fiscal year 2010 compared to a net (loss) of ($11.5) million or ($2.48) per share for fiscal year 2009.

Revenue increased to $307.1 million or 5.0% from fiscal 2009. Quoted markets were variable with breast, wings and tenders up while all dark meat items were down. Cost of sales decreased $7.3 million or 2.5% from last year reflecting lower feed cost of $32 per ton or 11.2%.

Cagle's saw improvements in key financial ratios for fiscal 2010 as we reduced debt and vendor obligations by $7.7 million or 14.9% and stockholders' equity increased by 10.5% or $3.4 million.

The poultry industry continues to practice restraint with egg sets and chick placements continuing below 2007 and 2008 levels and only moderately above 2009 levels. Pork and beef herds and frozen stocks are at relatively low levels and it appears it will be difficult for either industry to expand in 2010. Cagle's celebrated its 65th birthday in March with an optimistic view of our future as we anticipate that economic conditions will continue to improve and the value and demand for poultry will increase providing positive margins for the remainder of this fiscal year.
