Cavco Industries Reports Fiscal First Quarter Results




                          Net Sales $35.5 million
                          Net Income $0.9 million

PHOENIX, July 24, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Cavco Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq:CVCO) today announced financial results for the first quarter of its fiscal year 2009 ended June 30, 2008.

Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2009 totaled $35,509,000, down 5% from $37,366,000 for the first quarter of fiscal year 2008.

Net income for the fiscal 2009 first quarter of $853,000 was 51% below the $1,735,000 reported in the same quarter one year ago. Net income per share based on basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding was $0.13, versus $0.27 and $0.26, respectively, last year.

Of these results, Joseph Stegmayer, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are glad that we are able to report a profitable quarter in the face of continued depressed market conditions. Incoming order rates for both HUD and modular built homes have been slow and gross margins remain under pressure. We have concerns about the impact of inflation as it relates to material and transportation costs in the production of our homes as well as the capability of prospective buyers to make a housing change at this time."

Mr. Stegmayer continued, "Given the turmoil in the general economy, the outlook on the housing front cannot be ascertained. Some portions of the manufactured housing industry appear to be weathering the storm slightly better than others that are suffering considerably. Cavco will continue to exploit niche markets in the segments that show some vitality and that provide the opportunities necessary to progress through the current downturn. Given our solid, debt free, financial condition, attractive product line, and the historically large and growing markets we serve, we are confident about our opportunities to grow and prosper as the financial and housing sectors of the economy stabilize."

Cavco's senior management will hold a conference call to review these results tomorrow, July 25, 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.
