SECOND QUARTER AND SIX MONTH 2010 RESULTS

Significant Improvements Realized in Operating Income and Net Income

CINCINNATI, OHIO, AUGUST 11, 2010 - CECO Environmental Corp. (NasdaqGM:CECE), a leading provider of industrial ventilation and pollution control systems, today announced second quarter results for the period ended June 30, 2010.

Financial highlights from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2010 compared to the second quarter of 2009 include:

Net sales increased from $32.4 million to $34.8 million;

Gross profit increased to $8.4 million from $7.5 million;

Gross margin increased to 24.2% from 23.3%;

Selling & administrative expenses were reduced by $0.7 million to $6.9 million;

Operating income increased to $1.4 million from a loss of $0.2 million in 2009;

Net income was $0.7 million compared to a net loss of $0.5 million in 2009;

Net income per diluted share was $0.05 compared to net loss per diluted share of $0.03 in 2009;

Backlog as of June 30, 2010 was $55.1 million compared to $58.6 million as of March 31, 2010.

Financial highlights from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to six months ended June 30, 2009 include:

Net sales remained constant at $70.0 million;

Gross profit increased from $16.2 million to $16.4 million;

Gross margin increased to 23.5% from 23.0%;

Selling & administrative expenses were reduced to $14.1 million from $14.8 million;

Operating income increased to $2.0 million from $1.0 million in 2009;

Net income was $0.8 million compared to net income of $0.1 million in 2009;

Net income per diluted share was $0.06 compared to net income per diluted share of $0.00.

The increase in revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2010 is indicative of the improvement in the economic environment and our global market coverage initiative. Our equipment group and our parts group both experienced sales increases in the quarter which were partially offset by a reduction in contracting/services revenues. The comparative six month sales mix was consistent with that of the second quarter. This shift in product mix as well as improving margins created an increase in overall gross profit percentages for the quarter and the six month periods.

“I am very pleased with the results from the second quarter and the improved financial performance that the Company has achieved,” commented CECO’s Chief Executive Officer, Jeff Lang. “We are now realizing the positive results from both an improved economic environment and our significant productivity improvements and cost management initiatives that we began implementing earlier this year.”

Mr. Lang continued, “We continue to streamline our operations and recently closed two manufacturing facilities as well as winding down a third plant. In addition, our focus on lean business methods and operational excellence continue to drive our strategy of making CECO a true global leader in our sector.”

CECO will host a conference call on Wednesday, August 11, 2010 at 8:30 a.m. EDT to review its financial results for the quarter. Conferencing details are as follows:

All forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. These risks and uncertainties, which are more fully described in CECO’s Annual and Quarterly Reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and include, but are not limited to: our dependence on fixed price contracts and the risks associated therewith, including actual costs exceeding our estimates and our method of accounting for contract

revenue; our history of losses and possibility of further losses; fluctuations in operating results from period to period due to seasonality of our business; the effect of growth on our infrastructure, resources, and existing sales; our ability to expand our operations in both new and existing markets; the potential for contract delay or cancellation; the potential for fluctuations in prices for manufactured components and raw materials; the impact of federal, state or local government regulations; economic and political conditions generally; and the effect of competition in the air pollution control and industrial ventilation industry. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material aspects from those currently anticipated. We caution investors that other factors might, in the future, prove to be important in affecting our results of operations. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such factors, nor can it assess the impact of each such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or a combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Investors are further cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements as they speak only to our views as of the date the statement is made. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events or otherwise.
