“Despite a generally tumultuous economic environment, we are pleased to report on another quarter of continued same-store sales growth in both our Canadian and U.S. businesses,” said Terry Smith, CEO of the Boyd Group. “Our increase to monthly distributions reflects Boyd Group’s solid performance in the quarter and our commitment to building value for our unitholders,” said Mr. Smith. “We have now increased our cash distribution per unit by 33% since December 2007. With stable to improving financial performance, we expect that distributions will continue to be gradually increased over time.”

“We will continue to closely monitor the Fund’s payout ratio, which for the quarter and on a year to date basis was approximately 20%, and we will continue to take into account the current and prospective performance of our business, with the objective of continuing to increase cash distributions while maintaining a conservative payout ratio that will provide for the necessary flexibility to fund cash taxes starting in 2011,” added Mr. Smith. “Our objective is to be in a position to maintain the 2010 level of cash distributions to our shareholders in 2011, despite the cash taxes that will then be payable by the Boyd Group.”

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2008 increased 11.6% to $51.3 million compared to revenue of $45.9 million in the third quarter of 2007, after adjusting for the effect of discontinued operations. The increased revenue resulted from same store sales growth, both in Canada and the U.S., as well as new sales generated from: one U.S. start-up which began operations in late 2007; three U.S. start-ups and a glass repair and replacement services business located in Texas which commenced operations in 2008; and, one Canadian start-up which commenced operations in 2008.

Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”)1 for the third quarter of 2008 totalled $3.4 million or 6.6% of sales compared to EBITDA of $3.2 million or 7.0% of sales in the same period of the prior year.

The increase in earnings was primarily due to continued same store sales growth in the quarter, in both Canada and the U.S., as well as lower interest costs.

On a segmented basis, sales in Canada in the third quarter of 2008 totalled $17.5 million, an increase of $0.8 million or 5.0%, compared to $16.6 million in the third quarter a year ago.

Same store sales in Canada increased by $0.4 million or 2.7% when compared to the same period in the prior year.

Sales in the U.S. in the third quarter of 2008 totalled $33.8 million up by $4.5 million or 15.4% from $29.3 million in the third quarter a year ago.

(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 management, productive capacity maintenance and non-recurring and other adjustments. 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 three-month period ended September 30, 2008, which can be accessed via the SEDAR Web site (www.sedar.com).
