DOREL REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

·

Revenue even with previous year’s corresponding period

·

RTA board prices stabilizing



Montreal, August 2, 2006 — Dorel Industries Inc. (TSX: DII.B DII.A; NASDAQ: DIIB) today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2006. Net earnings were US$17.9 million or US$0.55 per diluted share compared to US$21.7 million or US$0.66 per diluted share for the corresponding quarter a year ago. Revenue for the period was US$435.9 million compared to US$435.4 million during the second quarter last year. Six month earnings decreased to US$42.1 million or US$1.28 per diluted share from US$49.0 million or US$1.49 per diluted share a year ago. Year-to-date revenue was US$886.9 million, down from last year’s first half revenue of US$907.3 million. Over the past 12 months, Dorel’s return on its equity is 11.4% and its book value per share as of June 30, 2006 is US$22.53.


In both the second quarter and year-to-date, sales gains in the Juvenile segment have offset revenue declines in the Home Furnishings and Recreational / Leisure segments. For the quarter, overall revenues were flat whereas for the first half sales increases in Juvenile partially offset the other segments’ revenue decreases. As such, total year-to-date revenues have declined by 2.2%. The first quarter initiative by a major customer to reduce its on-hand inventory levels continued into the second quarter. As a result, revenues were affected, specifically in Recreational / Leisure and Home Furnishings.


Earnings were affected by a US$3.5 million reserve taken against Sting Ray bicycle inventory in the Recreational / Leisure segment. The after tax impact of this reserve was US$2.1 million or US$0.06 per diluted share. Additionally, as anticipated, product liability costs have increased over 2005 levels. In the Juvenile segment, these costs in 2006 increased by US$6.4 million in the quarter and US$6.2 million year-to-date.


“As anticipated, the quarter was disappointing. While Juvenile posted solid revenue gains, particularly in the US, we are continuing to work through issues in ready-to-assemble furniture and to strengthen Pacific Cycle’s foundation in recreational products. Progress is being made at Ameriwood. Particle board pricing has stabilized and price increases have been negotiated with major retailers, which are expected to take effect later in the third quarter,” stated Dorel President and CEO, Martin Schwartz.

Juvenile Segment

Second quarter Juvenile revenue was up 12.1% to US$216.2 million from US$192.8 million during the same period a year ago. Earnings from operations rose slightly to US$20.1 million compared to US$19.8 million last year. For the first half, revenue rose 4.6% to US$456.3 million from US$436.3 million a year ago, while earnings from operations were up 6.3% to US$50.3 million from US$47.3 million. Gross margins were consistent with 2005 levels for both the quarter and year-to-date at 29.0% and 28.7% respectively. However, higher product liability costs partially offset the increase in gross margin dollars, dampening earnings from operations.


Revenues in North America increased by 21.8% in the quarter whereas revenues in Europe increased by 1.4%. For the quarter, the value of the Euro and Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar did not significantly impact organic sales growth. Year-to-date organic sales growth for the segment as a whole was 6.3%, as opposed to the 4.6% as reported, due principally to the stronger U.S. dollar versus the Euro in the first quarter of 2006.


Revenue gains in the US during the second quarter were driven by the introduction of several new items, including a new opening price point collection comprised of a travel system, swing, playard, and high chair as well as new Disney items. A new Eddie Bauer travel system performed exceptionally well during the quarter.  In Europe, overall Euro-denominated revenues rose 1.7% in  with solid car seat and stroller sales growth, mainly due to the on-going popularity of the Maxi-Cosi and Quinny brands.


Home Furnishings Segment

Home Furnishings revenue decreased 8.9% to US$120.1 million from US$131.9 million during the second quarter a year ago. Earnings from operations were down 24.2% to US$4.7 million versus US$6.2 million last year. For the six months, revenue slipped 8.5% to US$253.8 million from US$277.3 million. Earnings from operations for the first half decreased 45.3%, to US$9.3 million from US$17.0 million last year.



Sales of ready-to-assemble (RTA) furniture declined by US$10.7 million from the second quarter of 2005, or 19%, due principally to lower sales to the mass merchant channel. Ameriwood’s futon sales in the quarter declined by 18% compared to the prior year. This was due to delays in orders from certain customers. It is still expected that futon sales for the year will exceed 2005 levels. Revenues during the second quarter at Dorel Asia and Cosco Home & Office increased moderately, by 3% and 2% respectively over last year. Both these businesses continue to make inroads into new customers and in new product categories. The segment’s year-to-date revenue decline of 8.5% is due to declines in RTA furniture, futon and Cosco Home & Office sales decreases of 23.8%, 9.7% and 3.1% respectively.  Dorel Asia achieved revenue growth of 19.1% versus 2005.


For the segment as a whole, second quarter gross margins were essentially flat with 2005 levels as higher margins at Dorel Asia and Cosco Home & Office offset declines at Ameriwood. Importantly, RTA furniture margins for the quarter improved by 210 basis points over the first quarter. Year-to-date gross margins have declined by 140 basis points as the gains Dorel Asia and Cosco Home & Office only partially offset declines at Ameriwood. For the quarter, Ameriwood’s earnings declined by US$3.4 million versus last year due both to RTA and futon sales declines. Cosco Home & Office earnings in the quarter increased by US$1.1 million, due to an improved product mix, selling in product categories with higher margins. Dorel Asia’s second quarter earnings improved by US$0.7 million compared to last year.


In RTA, particle board prices rose sharply in the second quarter, at one point 50% higher year-over-year. The availability of board also had a significant impact on production costs as the Company sought to maintain the required levels of customer service. Shorter, less efficient production runs were scheduled and higher priced fiberboard was used on many occasions to produce orders. Currently, board prices have stabilized and supply is less of an issue. While the additional cost of particle board was completely absorbed by Ameriwood in the second quarter, price increases to its customers should take effect toward the end of the current third quarter. Domestic production and efficiencies have stabilized with continuous improvement expected throughout the year.


Ameriwood was successful in placing promotional back-to-college RTA furniture and futon products at major retail accounts. The division is also working with several large retailers to develop and launch new storage and organization, closet, garage and other programs that are expected to ship in the fourth quarter. Import product design and development is also accelerating.


Recreational/Leisure Segment

Second quarter Recreational/Leisure revenue decreased 9.9% to US$99.6 million from US$110.6 million last year. Earnings from operations were down 57.5% to US$5.7 million from US$13.4 million. For the six months, revenue dropped 8.7% to US$176.8 million from US$193.7 million. Year-to-date earnings from operations decreased 42.5% to US$12.7 million from US$22.1 million last year


Gross margins decreased by 590 basis points in the quarter and by 380 basis points year-to-date. This decline includes the US$3.5 million pre-tax reserve taken against Sting Ray bicycle inventory in the second quarter. This reserve had the impact of lowering gross margins by 350 basis points in the quarter and 200 basis points year-to-date. Without this reserve, gross margins for the quarter and year-to-date would have been 19.1% and 20.0% respectively. The decline over 2005 margins is due to a less favourable product mix.


Lower bicycle inventories being carried at a particular mass merchant customer as well as lower sales to other mass merchants reduced revenues overall. These declines were partially offset by increased sales to the Independent Bike Dealer (IBD) chain as well as new product category sales. Sales of Schwinn gas-powered motor scooters were on plan. For the first time in June, Pacific Cycle shipped over US$1 million of scooters, the highest amount for a single month since the line was introduced. This reflects EPA certification of the units in all 50 US states and continued growth of the dealer network.


Other

The Company recorded a tax recovery of US$0.4 million in the second quarter of 2006 on pre-tax earnings of US$17.5 million. This compares to a tax expense of US$3.5 million in the second quarter of 2005 on pre-tax earnings of US$25.3 million. The recovery in 2006 was a result of lower earnings in higher tax rate jurisdictions and a change in the valuation allowance of a benefit for tax losses. The Company’s year-to-date tax rate is currently 10.5% compared to 17.2% in 2005. Despite the unusually low tax rate in the quarter, the Company still expects its tax rate for the year to be in the range of 15% to 20%.


Cash Flow

Cash flow from operations in 2006 for the six months ended June 30 was US$44.1 million compared to US$37.6 in 2005. This improvement was despite a decline in after-tax earnings of US$6.8 million. Year-to-date free cash flow was US$30.2 million as compared to US$18.2 million in 2005, an improvement of US$12.0 million. Inventory levels have risen by US$32.7 million from year-end levels, using free cash in the first half of the year. However, this increase was expected as it is to service second half shipping needs. Year-end inventory levels for 2006 are expected to be in the range of December 2005 levels.
