Cavco Industries Reports Fiscal Fourth Quarter and Year End Results


PHOENIX, May 14, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cavco Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq:CVCO) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.

Net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 totaled $14,730,000, down 57% from $34,204,000 for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008.

Net loss for the fiscal 2009 fourth quarter was $1,023,000 compared to net income of $1,303,000 reported in the same quarter one year ago. Net loss per share based on basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding was $0.16 versus basic and diluted net income per share of $0.20 last year.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, net sales decreased 26% to $105,362,000 from $141,914,000 for fiscal year 2008, and net income declined 93% to $458,000 from $6,312,000 last year. For fiscal 2009, net income per share based on basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding was $0.07 versus net income per share of $0.98 and $0.95, respectively for the prior year period.

Commenting on the quarter, Joseph Stegmayer, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Cavco's reported fourth quarter results from operations reflect the realities of a marketplace that is financing constrained, highly competitive, and populated by consumers wary of the economic outlook and reluctant to make buying decisions. We remain confident, however, in our ability to meet the unprecedented challenges we face. While current operating performance is disappointing, Cavco's financial strength and liquidity provide us the flexibility to consider a variety of growth opportunities and to implement strategies that position our company to weather the storm and to emerge from these times as an even stronger participant in the factory built housing industry."

Cavco's senior management will hold a conference call to review these results tomorrow, May 15, 2009, 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 www.cavco.com under the Investor Relations link.
