Cavco Industries Reports Fiscal Second Quarter Results

Net Sales $30 Million; Net Income $0.5 Million


PHOENIX, Oct. 23, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cavco Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq:CVCO) today announced financial results for the second quarter and first six months of its fiscal year 2009 ended September 30, 2008.

Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 totaled $30,030,000, down 22% from $38,435,000 for the second quarter of fiscal year 2008.

Net income for the fiscal 2009 second quarter of $518,000 was 73% below the $1,909,000 reported in the same quarter one year ago. Net income per share based on basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding was $0.08, versus $0.30 and $0.29, respectively, last year.

For the first six months of fiscal 2009, net sales decreased 14% to $65,539,000 from $75,801,000 for the comparable prior year period, and net income declined 62% to $1,371,000 from $3,644,000 last year. For the first half of fiscal 2009, net income per share based on basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding was $0.21 and $0.20, respectively, versus $0.57 and $0.55, respectively for the prior year period.

"The continued deterioration in housing and the accelerated decline in the financial markets had a heavy impact on the Company's performance in the second quarter. That we remained profitable for the quarter demonstrates the strength of our distribution base, broad product offering and the quality and service we provide," said Joseph Stegmayer, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.

"Industry projections indicate that manufactured home shipments may decline by 10% or more in calendar year 2008 compared to 2007's level, which was a 46-year historic low. Recently, shipments in our largest markets are down even more than these projections. However, given the strength of our debt-free balance sheet and our focus on doing the right things to position the Company well for the challenging near-term and the more promising years ahead, we remain confident that we will weather these turbulent times and emerge prepared to prosper as economic conditions improve."

Cavco's senior management will hold a conference call to review these results tomorrow, October 24, 2008, at 12:00 noon (Eastern Time). Interested parties can access a live webcast of the conference call on the Internet at www.cavco.com under the Investor Relations link, or the web site www.opencompany.info. An archive of the webcast and presentation will be available for 90 days at these website addresses.
