Met-Pro Corporation Announces Financial Results
for the Fiscal Year Ended 1/31/2003

• 17% Sales Increase Over 4th Quarter Last Year
• Quarterly Net Income Increase 35% Over Last Year
• 32% Earnings Per Share Increase Over 4th Quarter Last Year
• Highest Quarterly Earnings Per Share in the Past Six Quarters
• Backlog of Orders Increase 11% Over Same Period Last Year

Harleysville, PA, February 26 - William L. Kacin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Met-Pro Corporation (NYSE: MPR), today announced sales and earnings per share for the fourth quarter and full year ended January 31, 2003.

Sales for the fourth quarter were $18.5 million, which was 17% above last year’s fourth quarter sales of $15.8 million. Sales for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2003 totaled $69.6 million, compared to $70.1 million for the same period last year.

Net income for the fourth quarter ended January 31, 2003 totaled $1.8 million compared to $1.3 million for the same quarter of last year, an increase of 35%. This increase was due to higher gross margins enjoyed in the Company’s Product Recovery/Pollution Control Equipment segment combined with cost reductions in both segments, which were initiated during the fourth quarter of last year.

Basic and diluted earnings per share were up $.07 to $.29, an increase of 32% over the $.22 earned during last year’s fourth quarter and were the highest in the Company’s past six quarters. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $.95 for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2003 compared to $1.01 for the prior fiscal year end. The lower earnings per share for the fiscal year were principally related to a $0.4 million or approximately $.05 per share net gain on the sale of property and equipment associated with our Systems Division’s operations during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2002.

Backlog of booked and unbooked orders awaiting drawing approval increased 11% to $15.8 million compared to $14.2 for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2002. A high percentage of this backlog is scheduled to be shipped during the current fiscal year.

In making this announcement, Kacin stated that “while it is difficult to predict the future, last year’s results demonstrate that our team at all of our operations is capable of adjusting to and handling the current economic realities and delivering solid results. Based on our lean, mean and motivated organizational structure, we are well positioned to deliver outstanding results as top line performance improves. We are optimistic about our future prospects.”
