<U><P ALIGN="CENTER">Gerber Scientific, Inc. Reports Third Quarter Results <BR>
</P>
</U><P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">SOUTH WINDSOR, CT -- Gerber Scientific, Inc. (NYSE: GRB) today reported a third quarter diluted loss per share of $.16, which included restructuring charges attributable to employee separations of $.19.  Adjusting for the restructuring charges, third quarter diluted earnings per share were $.03 representing an increase of $.20 versus the prior year period.  This was due to the favorable impact of not amortizing goodwill under a newly adopted accounting standard of $.15 per diluted share and significant benefits from restructuring and cost reduction actions.  Revenues for the third quarter were down $17.9 million (13.3 percent) versus the prior year period due to continued weakness in most of the Company's geographic markets.</P>
<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY"></P>
<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">The diluted loss per share reported for the nine-month period ended January 31, 2002 was $6.09 versus a loss of $.20 last year.  Excluding the third quarter restructuring charge of  $.19 and the cumulative effect of an accounting change for goodwill impairment of $6.09, diluted earnings per share for the nine-month period ended January 31, 2002 were $.19.  For the nine month period ended January 31, 2001, the diluted loss per share was $.08 before restructuring charges of $.13 for employee separations, provision for losses on the sale of facilities, and other asset impairments.  The favorable goodwill amortization impact amounted to $.30 per diluted share on a year-to-date basis.  </P>
<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY"></P>
<B><U><P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">Further Restructuring Actions Taken in the Quarter</P>
</B></U><P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">The Company recorded $5.5 million of restructuring charges in the third quarter consisting of 165 employee separations that are expected to result in annualized cost savings of approximately $10.0 million.  These charges occurred in each operating segment, as well as the corporate headquarters, and were required to offset the earnings impact of the continued economic and market weakness the Company is experiencing in its capital equipment markets.</P>
<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY"></P>
<B><U><P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">Steady Cash Flow Generation Continued, Debt Reduced</P>
</B></U><P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">The Company generated $18.7 million in cash from operations in the nine-month period ended January 31, 2002, continuing its pattern of steady cash flow generation.  This cash flow was generated largely by incremental operating earnings from restructuring and cost reduction actions.  Operating cash flow and reduced capital expenditures enabled the Company to reduce total debt $2.6 million in the third quarter.  Working capital reductions this year as well as the proceeds of a sale and leaseback of certain facilities in the second quarter enabled the Company to reduce total debt $36.4 million from the beginning of the year in May.</P>
<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY"></P>
<B><U><P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">Continued Softness in Capital Equipment Markets Impact Top Line</P>
</B></U><P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">Revenue was $116.4 million and $372.6 million for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2002, respectively, compared with $134.2 million and $415.5 million in the prior year periods. Although not as significant as in the prior year, the impact of foreign currency translation continued to lower revenues this year. Weaker foreign currency translation rates suppressed revenue by $1.2 million and $6.6 million in the three- and nine-month periods ended January 31, 2002 versus the prior year comparable periods.  New orders totaled $113.6 million and $365.7 million for the third quarter and first nine months this year, respectively, compared with $133.5 million and $412.1 million last year.&nbsp;
Each of the Company's operating and geographic segments reported lower revenue and
orders, except in North American markets for the Company's ophthalmic lens processing
equipment.&nbsp; This segment benefited from a general improvement in third quarter orders and sales to a large U.S. discount chain.  Lower new equipment volume again accounted for the overall decline as customers continued to delay capital spending due to global economic uncertainty.  The lower equipment volume continued to negatively impact profitability although these margin effects were offset by cost reductions realized from last year's initiatives as well as further spending control this year.</P>
<P ALIGN="JUSTIFY"></P>
<B><U><P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">Further Operating Initiatives Planned to Improve Working Capital Performance</P>
</B></U><P ALIGN="JUSTIFY">Commenting on the third quarter results, Marc T. Giles, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We delivered solid operating results and continued to reduce our debt despite the weak worldwide economic conditions.  Our markets continue to show weakness as indicated by low new order intake rates and backlog levels for our capital equipment products.  Accordingly, we took additional restructuring actions in the third quarter.  Further, the delayed introduction of MAXX<FONT FACE="Symbol">&#228;</FONT>
 and market changes faced by our Spandex distribution business have resulted in unacceptable inventory levels.  We have launched a special task force charged with streamlining warehousing and logistics and optimizing inventory.  In addition, we implemented longer term best practices and shared service initiatives across the Company in the areas of working capital efficiency, supply chain management, manufacturing, service, and aftermarket to improve our profitability and competitiveness going forward."</P>

Gerber Scientific, Inc. Reports Third Quarter Results
SOUTH WINDSOR, CT -- Gerber Scientific, Inc. (NYSE: GRB) today reported a third quarter diluted loss per share of $.16, which included restructuring charges attributable to employee separations of $.19.  Adjusting for the restructuring charges, third quarter diluted earnings per share were $.03 representing an increase of $.20 versus the prior year period.  This was due to the favorable impact of not amortizing goodwill under a newly adopted accounting standard of $.15 per diluted share and significant benefits from restructuring and cost reduction actions.  Revenues for the third quarter were down $17.9 million (13.3 percent) versus the prior year period due to continued weakness in most of the Company's geographic markets.
The diluted loss per share reported for the nine-month period ended January 31, 2002 was $6.09 versus a loss of $.20 last year.  Excluding the third quarter restructuring charge of  $.19 and the cumulative effect of an accounting change for goodwill impairment of $6.09, diluted earnings per share for the nine-month period ended January 31, 2002 were $.19.  For the nine month period ended January 31, 2001, the diluted loss per share was $.08 before restructuring charges of $.13 for employee separations, provision for losses on the sale of facilities, and other asset impairments.  The favorable goodwill amortization impact amounted to $.30 per diluted share on a year-to-date basis.
Further Restructuring Actions Taken in the Quarter
The Company recorded $5.5 million of restructuring charges in the third quarter consisting of 165 employee separations that are expected to result in annualized cost savings of approximately $10.0 million.  These charges occurred in each operating segment, as well as the corporate headquarters, and were required to offset the earnings impact of the continued economic and market weakness the Company is experiencing in its capital equipment markets.
Steady Cash Flow Generation Continued, Debt Reduced
The Company generated $18.7 million in cash from operations in the nine-month period ended January 31, 2002, continuing its pattern of steady cash flow generation.  This cash flow was generated largely by incremental operating earnings from restructuring and cost reduction actions.  Operating cash flow and reduced capital expenditures enabled the Company to reduce total debt $2.6 million in the third quarter.  Working capital reductions this year as well as the proceeds of a sale and leaseback of certain facilities in the second quarter enabled the Company to reduce total debt $36.4 million from the beginning of the year in May.
Continued Softness in Capital Equipment Markets Impact Top Line
Revenue was $116.4 million and $372.6 million for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2002, respectively, compared with $134.2 million and $415.5 million in the prior year periods. Although not as significant as in the prior year, the impact of foreign currency translation continued to lower revenues this year. Weaker foreign currency translation rates suppressed revenue by $1.2 million and $6.6 million in the three- and nine-month periods ended January 31, 2002 versus the prior year comparable periods.  New orders totaled $113.6 million and $365.7 million for the third quarter and first nine months this year, respectively, compared with $133.5 million and $412.1 million last year. 
Each of the Company's operating and geographic segments reported lower revenue and
orders, except in North American markets for the Company's ophthalmic lens processing
equipment.  This segment benefited from a general improvement in third quarter orders and sales to a large U.S. discount chain.  Lower new equipment volume again accounted for the overall decline as customers continued to delay capital spending due to global economic uncertainty.  The lower equipment volume continued to negatively impact profitability although these margin effects were offset by cost reductions realized from last year's initiatives as well as further spending control this year.
Further Operating Initiatives Planned to Improve Working Capital Performance
Commenting on the third quarter results, Marc T. Giles, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We delivered solid operating results and continued to reduce our debt despite the weak worldwide economic conditions.  Our markets continue to show weakness as indicated by low new order intake rates and backlog levels for our capital equipment products.  Accordingly, we took additional restructuring actions in the third quarter.  Further, the delayed introduction of MAXX
ä
and market changes faced by our Spandex distribution business have resulted in unacceptable inventory levels.  We have launched a special task force charged with streamlining warehousing and logistics and optimizing inventory.  In addition, we implemented longer term best practices and shared service initiatives across the Company in the areas of working capital efficiency, supply chain management, manufacturing, service, and aftermarket to improve our profitability and competitiveness going forward."
