Mac-Gray Corporation Announces Preliminary
Unaudited First-Quarter Financial Data

Revenue Growth of 19% Drives $10.2 Million Debt Repayment;
Company to Report First-Quarter 2009 Financial Results on May 5th

WALTHAM, MA, April 15, 2009 — Mac-Gray Corporation (NYSE: TUC), the nation’s premier provider of laundry facilities management services to multi-unit housing locations, today announced preliminary unaudited financial data for the first quarter ended March 31, 2009.

Based on preliminary unaudited financial data, Mac-Gray anticipates reporting for the first quarter of 2009:

·Revenues of approximately $93 million.

·For its facilities management division, revenues of $81 million.

·Within its Product Sales division, revenues of $11.5 million.

·Capital expenditures of approximately $8.2 million.

·Funded debt reduction of approximately $10.2 million.

Comments on the First Quarter

“Our first-quarter performance reflects the resiliency of our business model, which continues to generate a strong and predictable cash flow,” said Stewart G. MacDonald, Mac-Gray’s chairman and chief executive officer.  “Our core laundry facilities business had an outstanding first quarter, despite the increasingly challenging multi-housing environment, where higher local unemployment rates translate into increased vacancy rates, which in turn negatively affect our equipment usage and revenue.  We continue to benefit from the size, scale and geographic diversity provided by the acquisitions that have more than doubled the size of our core business over the past five years and have helped mitigate the impact of the ongoing recession.  Additionally, our Product Sales division produced surprisingly strong revenue growth of 8.5%, with laundry equipment sales up 8% and MicroFridge® sales up 10%.  In total, cash flow generated in the quarter enabled us to reduce our funded debt by $10.2 million.

“Debt reduction has been our key focus for the past year.  Including the first-quarter reduction, we have lowered our funded debt by nearly $40 million during the past 12 months.  This is the direct result of our disciplined approach to capital expenditures, our ability to gain operational efficiencies in markets where we have gained density through our acquisition activity, and the high rate of return on investment we demand for both new and renewed contracts.”

Mac-Gray plans to announce its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2009 before the opening of the market on Tuesday, May 5th and host a conference call that day at 10:00 a.m. ET.
