WINNIPEG, August 10, 2007 - New Flyer Industries Inc. (TSX:NFI.UN), the leading manufacturer of heavy-duty transit buses in Canada and the United States, today announced its results and those of its subsidiary, New Flyer Holdings, Inc. ("New Flyer" or the "Company") for the 13-week period ("2007 Q2") and for the 26-week period (“2007 YTD”) ended July 1, 2007. Full financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis (the "MD&A") are available at the Company's web site at: www.newflyer.com/index/financialreport. Unless otherwise indicated all monetary amounts in this press release are expressed in U.S. dollars.

For the third consecutive quarter the Company realized both revenue and Adjusted EBITDA that were the highest reported quarterly results in the Company’s history. Consolidated revenue for 2007 Q2 of $229.7 million increased by 68.0% compared to consolidated revenue for the second quarter of 2006 (“2006 Q2”) of $136.7 million. Bus manufacturing revenue in 2007 Q2 of $208.7 million increased by 72.6% compared to bus manufacturing revenue of $120.9 million in 2006 Q2. This increase in delivery volumes is due to the significant improvement in firm order position throughout 2006 and 2007, which resulted in the Company increasing production rates. In addition, a strike at the Winnipeg production facility significantly negatively impacted deliveries and revenue in 2006 Q2. 2007 Q2 aftermarket operations revenue of $20.9 million increased by 32.5% compared to $15.8 million in 2006 Q2. The after market operation was not impacted by the strike in 2006.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for 2007 Q2 totaled $25.0 million. The reported consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is a result of the improved backlog position, sustaining the higher production and delivery levels attained in the first quarter of 2007, favourable bus manufacturing operations sales mix and continued growth of the Company’s aftermarket operation. 2007 Q2 consolidated Adjusted EBITDA represents an increase of 236.9% compared to consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for 2006 Q2 of $7.4 million. 2007 Q2 aftermarket Adjusted EBITDA of $4.3 million increased by 26.7% compared to $3.4 million in 2006 Q2, which is consistent with the increase in aftermarket sales. As reported in the Company’s 2006 Q2 financial report, the 2006 Q2 consolidated Adjusted EBITDA was impacted by an estimated $10.8 million due to a strike. 2007 Q2 bus manufacturing operations Adjusted EBITDA of $21.7 million increased by $16.4 million compared to bus manufacturing operations Adjusted EBITDA of $5.3 million in the corresponding period of 2006.  After normalizing 2006 Q2 results to remove the impact of the strike, 2007 Q2 Adjusted EBITDA from bus manufacturing operations improved by $5.6 million which represents an increase of 34.8% over the normalized 2006 Q2 Adjusted EBITDA. Unallocated Adjusted EBITDA is comprised primarily of realized foreign exchange losses. In 2007 Q2, a realized loss of $1.0 million was recorded compared to a loss of $1.2 million in 2006 Q2.

The Company reported a net loss of $84.9 million in 2007 Q2 and net earnings of $7.2 million in 2006 Q2. With 2007 Q2 earnings from operations increasing by $19.9 million and interest costs remaining stable, the decrease in net earnings is attributable to non-cash charges to earnings and increased income tax provisions. A fair value increase to other liabilities, Class B and Class C common shares of $69.2 million has been charged to earnings during 2007 Q2 compared to a gain of $20.0 million in 2006 Q2. The 2007 Q2 charge to other liabilities for Class B and Class C common shares reflects the increase in the value of the underlying shares, which has risen together with the value of the Issuer’s IDSs. An unrealized foreign exchange loss of $12.7 million has been recorded in 2007 Q2 compared to an unrealized foreign exchange loss of $6.3 million in 2006 Q2. The 2007 Q2 unrealized foreign exchange loss relates primarily to losses on translation of long-term debt which matures August 2020 and losses on forward foreign exchange contracts which were entered into to hedge anticipated Canadian dollar cash inflows. The Company expects to generate a net Canadian dollar cash inflow from operations throughout the remainder of 2007, which is anticipated to offset any realized gain or loss on settlement of forward contracts.

During 2007 Q2 the Company generated Distributable Cash of C$19.8 million and declared total distributions of C$12.3 million resulting in Distributable Cash exceeding total distributions by C$7.5 million. This equates to a 2007 YTD Payout Ratio of 70.9% and a 52-week period ended July 1, 2007 Payout ratio of 72.5%.

As a result of the Company’s positive cash flow from operations, the Company’s liquidity position as at July 1, 2007 totaled $75.6 million comprised of cash balances of $35.6 million and a $40 million revolving credit facility, which was undrawn as at July 1, 2007. In comparison, the Company began the current fiscal year with total liquidity of $44.0 million.

During 2007 Q2 the Issuer announced that the boards of directors had approved an increase in the annual rate of distributions by C$0.04 per IDS effective the July 2007 distribution that is payable August 15, 2007. The annual distributions are now expected to be C$1.17 per IDS. This is the Issuer’s second distribution increase since the completion of its initial public offering in August 2005. This distribution increase was made as a result of the Company’s improved operating performance, its completion of the ramp-up in production and the substantial build-up in the order backlog and firm bus orders.

The total order backlog of approximately $2.25 billion (representing 6,165 equivalent units) as at July 1, 2007 increased by 22.2% compared to the total order backlog of approximately $1.8 billion (representing 5,313 equivalent units) as at December 31, 2006. Based on the significant increase in order activity in 2006 and 2007, and the current strong bid activity in the U.S. heavy-duty transit bus market, management believes that the U.S. market demand is continuing to improve following a period of reduced demand from 2004 to early 2006.

During 2007 Q2 our customers awarded New Flyer firm orders of $308.2 million (2007 YTD - $409.3 million) compared to 2006 Q2 awarded firm orders of $161.4 million (2006 YTD - $390.2 million), which represents an increase of 90.9% (YTD increase of 4.9%). Included in 2007 Q2 total firm bus orders are exercised options of $239.7 million compared to exercised options of $107.4 million in 2006 Q2. As a result of new order activity and deliveries during 2007 Q2, the firm order backlog is $891.8 million as of July 1, 2007, which represents 39.7% of the total backlog. The firm order backlog, which represents 2,275 equivalent units of production, provides the order visibility to allow the Company to efficiently plan the production schedule, thereby minimizing expenses and working capital requirements.

On July 12, 2007, the Issuer closed the sale of 9,410,000 Income Deposit Securities (IDS) sold at a price of C$11.70 per IDS for gross proceeds of C$110.1 million. Accordingly, 9,410,000 common shares of NFI and C$52,037 aggregate principal amount of new subordinated notes of NFI ULC were issued to constitute such IDSs. Each IDS consists of one common share of the Company and C$5.53 principal amount of subordinated notes of NFI ULC.

The net proceeds of the offering were ultimately used to purchase for cancellation 10,490,293 Class C common shares of NFL Holdings.  After giving effect to the issuance of IDSs and purchase for cancellation of such Class C common shares, NFI holds an approximate 55.3% economic and voting interest in NFL Holdings, while management and non-management holders of Class B and Class C common shares of NFL Holdings hold in aggregate an approximate 44.7% economic and voting interest. Management expects this change in the outstanding capital to have a neutral impact on the after-tax cash flow of the Company.

Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted EBITDA consists of earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and other non-cash charges, adjusted for IPO related costs and certain other non-recurring charges as set out in the MD&A. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash (as defined below) are useful measures in evaluating the performance of the Company. Specifically, management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is the appropriate measure from which to make adjustments to determine "Distributable Cash" (being Adjusted EBITDA increased for proceeds on sale of redundant assets and decreased for maintenance capital expenditures, principal payments on capital leases, interest on the Company's credit facility and capital leases, interest on New Flyer Industries Canada ULC's subordinated notes (not forming part of IDSs) and current income tax expense). Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash are not earnings measures recognized under GAAP and do not have standardized meanings as prescribed by GAAP. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other entities. Investors are cautioned that Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash should not be construed as an alternative to net income or loss determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of New Flyer's performance or to cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities as measures of liquidity and cash flows.
