RADIANT LOGISTICS ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR FOURTH QUARTER AND FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2009

Double-Digit Growth Continues with Record Annual Revenues of $137.0 Million up $36.8 Million
and 36.7% and Adjusted EBITDA of $3.7 Million Up $1.9 Million and 102.8% Over Prior Year

________________________________________________________________________

BELLEVUE, WA   October 5, 2009 – Radiant Logistics, Inc. (OTC BB: RLGT), a domestic and international logistics services company, today reported financial results for the three months and year ended June 30, 2009.

For the three months ended June 30, 2009, Radiant reported a net loss of $57,000 on $32.4 million of revenues, or $0.00 per basic and fully diluted shares.  For the three months ended June 30, 2008, the Company reported $25.8 million in revenues and a net loss of $86,000, resulting in ($0.00) per basic and fully diluted shares .

For the year ended June 30, 2009, Radiant reported a net loss of $9,730,000 on $137.0 million of revenues, or a loss of $(0.28) per basic and fully diluted share, including a non-cash charge of $11.4 million for impairment of goodwill.  For the year ended June 30, 2008, Radiant reported net income of $1,413,000 on $100.2 million of revenues, or $0.04 per basic and fully diluted share, including net non-recurring income of $1,266,000 (net of tax) resulting from a reduction in estimate of liabilities assumed in the Company’s acquisition of Airgroup.

In December 2008, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $11.4 million for impairment of goodwill in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". The goodwill charge was a result of the material decline in the market value of the Company's equity during the quarter ended December 31, 2008. The Company does not expect that the non-cash charge will have an impact on its financial condition or affect the financial covenants in its credit facility.

In December of 2007, the Company recognized a total of $1,918,000 in non-recurring income in connection with a reduction of its estimate of liabilities assumed in the acquisition of Airgroup and related tax indemnities net of $652,000 in corresponding tax expense. Excluding the impact of these non-recurring items, the Company would have reported net income of $147,000, or $0.00 per basic and fully diluted share for the year ended June 30, 2008.
 


The Company also reported adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) of $730,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to adjusted EBITDA of $392,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, for an increase of $338,000.  A reconciliation of our adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure appears at the end of this release.

The Company also reported adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) which excludes the non-recurring items, of $3,677,000 for the year ended June 30, 2009, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $1,814,000 for the year ended June 30, 2008.  A reconciliation of our adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure appears at the end of this release.

The company has also provided additional prior period analysis using pro forma results of operations presented as if Radiant had acquired Adcom as of July 1, 2007 which is included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2009 and filed October 5, 2009.

“Our recent acquisition of Adcom has allowed us to post year over year growth even in the face of the soft global economy,” said Bohn Crain, Chairman and CEO. “For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, we posted revenues of $32.4 million, an improvement of $6.6 million or 25.6% over the comparable prior year period.  We consider ourselves fortunate to have completed the Adcom transaction back in September of 2008 which has allowed us to deliver better buy rates for our stations as well as the opportunity to rationalize the back-office costs of the combined organization. These initiatives are beginning to translate into improved profitability.  For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, we also reported $730,000 in adjusted EBITDA, an improvement of $338,000 or 86.2% over the comparable prior year period.

“We also posted record revenues of $137.0 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, compared to $100.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2008, an improvement of $36.8 million or 36.7%.  This positive trend also continued in terms of profitability as we reported $3,677,000 in adjusted EBITDA for the year ended June 30, 2009, an improvement of $1,864,000 or 102.8% over the comparable prior year period. These results do not yet reflect the full benefit of the cost synergies that we expect to achieve in connection with the transition of Adcom’s Minneapolis-based back office operations to the corporate headquarters in Bellevue, Washington which was completed as planned in June of 2009. This integration is expected to deliver an estimated annual cost savings in the range of $1.0-$1.5 million per year.”

“Given the challenging economic climate, we are particularly pleased with our operating results through June 30, 2009. Unfortunately, in our second fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2008, our stock price declined in response the global economic downturn and the turmoil in the equity markets, resulting in a market capitalization that was significantly below our book value as of December 31, 2008. As a consequence, we  performed an analysis to determine any  potential impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets as of December 31, 2008 in accordance with Statement of Accounting Financial Standards (SFAS) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” The results of the analysis indicated that there was impairment to goodwill. Accordingly, we recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $11.4 million in our results for the quarter ended December 31, 2008.  The non-cash impairment charge has not had any impact on the Company’s compliance with its debt covenants and our stock price has since recovered.”

Mr. Crain continued, “Although our business has by no means been immune to the slowing economy, we do believe we are well positioned to weather the economic downturn. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, we expect to sustain our prior year results with $4.0 million in adjusted EBITDA on $140 million in annual revenues.  This is before considering the impact of any future acquisitions or improvement in the general economic climate.  Looking forward, our strategy remains unchanged. From our current platform, we believe profitable growth can be best achieved by continuing to bring value to the agent-based forwarder community. Over the past 2 years our unique value proposition has continued to gain momentum in the marketplace as evidenced by the number of great new agent partners that have joined our ranks. Over the longer term, we believe this trend will continue. We approach 2010 with a sharp focus on our three-prong strategy: (1) providing continuous improvement to our existing network participants in terms of technology, buy rates and enhanced service offerings; (2)  building upon the success of our organic growth initiative by on-boarding additional agent stations; and (3) opportunistically pursuing acquisition opportunities, including strategic opportunities within the community of agent-based forwarders.”

The Company’s estimate of future revenues and profits is based on the assumption that the cumulative historical financial results of operations of the Company and Adcom for the most recent 12 months ended June 30, 2009 are indicative of the future financial performance of the combined group. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, appears at the end of this release.

Supplemental Pro Forma Information

We believe that supplemental disclosure of our adjusted EBITDA, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization adjusted for stock-based compensation and other non-cash costs is a useful measure for investors because it eliminates the effect of certain non-cash costs and provides an important metric for our business.  A reconciliation of annual pro forma adjusted EBITDA amounts to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure is as follows:

Reconciliation of EBITDA to Net Income and Net Cash Provided By Operating Activities
(UNAUDITED)

As used in this report, adjusted EBITDA means earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization adjusted for stock-based compensation and other non-cash charges.  We believe that adjusted EBITDA, as presented, represents a useful method of assessing the performance of our operating activities, as it reflects our earnings trends without the impact of certain non-cash charges.  Adjusted EBITDA is also used by our creditors in assessing debt covenant compliance.  We understand that although securities analysts frequently use EBITDA in their evaluation of companies, it is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation.  EBITDA is not intended as an alternative to cash flow provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity, as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance, nor as an alternative to any other measure of performance in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The following is a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to both net income and cash flow provided by operating activities:
