“We continued our strong performance in the fourth quarter of 2007 resulting in increases for the year in revenue, net earnings and cash available for distribution,” said Terry Smith, CEO of Boyd Group. “Our increased revenue reflects continued strong same store sales growth in both the U.S. and Canada.”

“As a result of the considerable progress made in 2007 to improve financial performance, strengthen the Fund’s balance sheet and improve its cash position and financial flexibility, the Trustees of the Fund approved the reinstatement of monthly distributions of $0.015 per unit, commencing in December 2007,” continued Mr. Smith.

Subsequently, on March 25, 2008, the Trustees of the Fund approved an increase in monthly distributions to $0.01625 commencing May 2008, for unitholders of record at the end of April 2008. Mr. Smith went on to say, “this annualized distribution of $0.195 represents a payout ratio estimated to be in the 30% range. We believe that this is a conservative and sustainable level that allows for continued balance sheet improvement. With stable to improving financial performance, we expect that distributions will be gradually increased over time.”

For the three months ended December 31, 2007, revenue increased 2.2% to $47.8 million compared to revenue of $46.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, after adjusting for the effect of discontinued operations. The increase in revenue was attributable to same store sales growth and new start-up collision repair centers. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation attributable to sales generated from the Boyd Group’s U.S. operations, overall same store sales increased $4.4 million or 9.4%, during the fourth quarter of 2007.

For the year ended December 31, 2007 revenue increased 7.9% to $197.6 million from $183.1 million in 2006, after adjusting for discontinued operations. The increase resulted from same store sales growth in both Canada and the U.S. and new sales generated from start-ups in the U.S. During 2007, the Boyd Group’s same store sales, excluding the effects of translating U.S. sales at a lower U.S. dollar exchange rate, increased by $13.5 million or 7.5% when compared to 2006.

Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”)2 for the fourth quarter of 2007 totalled $3.3 million, or 6.9% of sales, compared to EBITDA of $2.6 million, or 5.5% of sales, in the fourth quarter of 2006. This increase in EBITDA was primarily the result of higher sales in the fourth quarter of 2007. Included in EBITDA for the fourth quarter was a one-time gain, in the amount of $0.7 million, associated primarily with the early settlement of the Boyd Group’s 2003 convertible debentures. This gain was offset by a non-recurring one-time charge to operating expenses, in the amount of $0.8 million, related to restructuring activities in one of the Company’s markets.

EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2007 totalled $12.6 million or 6.4% of sales, compared to EBITDA of $10.5 million or 5.7% of sales for 2006. The increase in EBITDA was primarily the result of higher sales and lower operating expenses as a percentage of sales.
Net earnings for the fourth quarter of 2007, after discontinued operations, were $0.8 million or $0.08 per fully diluted unit compared to a net loss of $17.5 million or $1.69 per fully diluted unit during the fourth quarter of 2006. The increase in net earnings was a result of strong sales growth in 2007, in both Canada and the U.S. Losses for the fourth quarter in 2006 were affected by a $17.8 million write down of goodwill in the U.S.

The Fund’s net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2007, were $3.4 million or 1.7% of sales compared to a loss of $21.9 million or 12.0% of sales in 2006. The increase in net earnings were a result of strong sales growth in both Canada and the U.S., combined with reductions in operating costs as a percentage of sales as well as lower depreciation, amortization and income tax expenses. The net loss in 2006 resulted primarily from the write down of goodwill and other intangible assets in the U.S. of $20.2 million and the impacts associated with replacement trading partner agreements partially offset by higher foreign exchange gains.

On a segmented basis, sales in Canada in the fourth quarter of 2007 totalled $18.3 million, an increase of 12.0% compared to the fourth quarter a year ago. Sales in Canada for the year ended December 31, 2007, increased 10.8% to $72.0 million compared to $65.0 million in 2006. Sales increases in Canada for both the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2007, resulted solely from same store sales growth with increases reported in all four western provinces.

Sales in the U.S. in the fourth quarter of 2007 decreased 3.0% to $29.5 million compared to $30.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. Sales in the U.S included $1.2 million in new sales from two new collision repair centres opened in 2007. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation and start-ups, U.S. same store sales increased by $2.4 million or 8.0%, compared to the fourth quarter a year ago.

Sales in the U.S. for the year ended December 31, 2007, increased 6.3% to $125.5 million from $118.0 million in 2006. Sales in the U.S. included new sales of $7.4 million, from three start-ups in Tacoma and Renton, Washington and Scottsdale, Arizona, as well as from two new 2007 start-ups located in Glenview, Illinois and Tempe, Arizona. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, U.S. same store sales increased by $6.5 million or 5.7% compared to the year ended December 31, 2006.

The Fund had total debt outstanding at December 31, 2007 of $30.1 million, comprised of: $6.3 million in bank indebtedness, net of cash; $1.2 million U.S. of Canadian senior bank term debt; $12.7 million U.S. of U.S. senior bank term debt; $0.2 million of supplier debt; $0.4 million of vendor loans; $1.9 million of obligations under capital leases; and, $7.4 million in convertible debt. This compares to $41.0 million in total debt outstanding as at December 31, 2006. Positive cash flow for the year was used to repay $2.4 million U.S. of Canadian senior bank debt over the year and to reduce net bank indebtedness. The translation of U.S. debt with a weaker U.S. dollar, relative to the Canadian dollar, also helped reduce the total debt outstanding.

Adjusted Distributable Cash

Adjusted distributable cash for the fourth quarter, which includes adjustments for the collection of additional prepaid rebates, proceeds on the sale of equipment and capital lease repayments, increased to $1.1 million from $1.0 million for the same period a year ago. Adjusted distributable cash for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased to $6.0 million from $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Based on increased cash flow and continued improvement in year-over-year performance, the Trustees of the Fund approved the reinstatement of distributions in the fourth quarter of 2007. On November 13, 2007, the Fund declared a distribution to its unitholders and BGHI declared a dividend to its Class A shareholders of $0.015 per Unit and/or Class A share, payable on December 21, 2007 to unitholders and BGHI shareholders of record on November 30, 2007. Declarations in the same amounts have been made monthly for the months of December 2007 as well as January, February and March 2008. On March 25, 2008, the Trustees of the Fund approved an increase in monthly distributions and dividends to $0.01625 commencing May 2008, for unitholders and shareholders of record at the end of April 2008.

(¹)(²) EBITDA, distributable cash and adjusted distributable cash are not recognized measures under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Management believes that in addition to revenue, net earnings and cash flows, the supplemental measures of distributable cash, adjusted distributable cash and EBITDA are useful as they provide investors with an indication of earnings from operations and cash available for distribution, both before and after debt service, capital expenditures and income tax. Investors should be cautioned, however, that EBITDA, distributable cash and adjusted distributable cash should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of the Fund’s performance. Boyd’s method of calculating distributable cash and adjusted distributable cash may differ from other public issuers and, accordingly, may not be comparable to similar measures used by other issuers. For a detailed explanation of how the Fund’s distributable cash and adjusted distributable cash is calculated, please refer to the Fund’s MD&A filing for the year ended December 31, 2007, which can be accessed via the SEDAR Web site (www.sedar.com).
