EURAMAX HOLDINGS, INC.
FIRST QUARTER 2012 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Norcross, Georgia, May 11, 2012 – Euramax Holdings, Inc., a leading international producer of metal and vinyl products sold to the residential repair and remodel, non-residential construction and recreational vehicle (RV) markets primarily in North America and Europe, today announced financial results for the first quarter of 2012. Net sales, operating loss, and adjusted EBITDA for the quarter were $198.7 million, $(0.3) million, and $10.7 million, respectively. Net sales, operating income, and adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended April 1, 2011 were $210.4 million, $0.8 million and $13.3 million, respectively.

President and CEO Mitchell B. Lewis commented, "Finding bright spots in the markets we serve was difficult during the first quarter. Our volume continues to be impacted by the economic malaise in Europe and only modest recovery in our U.S. Commercial and Residential markets. We remain optimistic for near term improvement in U.S. markets to soften the impact of continuing challenges in Europe."

Segment Information
Euramax manages its business and serves its customers through reportable segments differentiated by product type, end market, and geography. In the first quarter of 2012, the Company completed a reorganization of its U.S. operational structure. The reorganization included the consolidation of all U.S. operating companies into one legal entity and realigned reporting and management responsibilities based upon the Company's residential and commercial product offerings. As a result of the restructuring, the Company has identified two U.S. reporting segments; U.S. Residential Products and U.S. Commercial Products. Prior to this restructuring, our reporting segments consisted of U.S. Residential Building Products, U.S. Non-Residential Building Products and U.S. RV and Specialty Building Products. Our first quarter 2011 results have been adjusted to reflect the Company's change in reportable segments. These organizational changes did not impact our European reportable segments.
First Quarter 2012 Financial Summary
Net sales include revenue recognized from the sales of our products less provisions for returns, allowances, rebates and discounts. The Company's net sales declined $11.7 million, or 5.6%, to $198.7 million in the first quarter of 2012 compared to $210.4 million in the first quarter of 2011. Net sales in the Company's European Roll Coated Aluminum and European Engineered Product segment were negatively impacted by economic uncertainty throughout Europe which has resulted in delays of architectural and industrial products and reduced consumer confidence. The weakening of the euro and British pound sterling against the U.S. dollar also resulted in a decline in net sales during the quarter. Net sales of the U.S. Commercial Products segment declined in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the first quarter of 2011, while net sales of the U.S. Residential Products segment remained relatively flat compared to first quarter 2011.
Income from operations declined $1.1 million to a loss of $(0.3) million in the first quarter of 2012 compared to income of $0.8 million for the first quarter of 2011. The decline in operating income was primarily the result of sales declines in the Company's European operating segments. Operating results for these segments reflect challenges in the architectural and industrial end markets which have been negatively impacted by economic uncertainty throughout Europe. These declines were partially offset by a reduction in other operating charges in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the prior year quarter. In the first quarter of 2011, the Company incurred approximately $2.4 million of other operating charges, primarily related to indirect tax and consulting fees related to the Company's debt offering and refinancing. In the first quarter of 2012,other operating charges totaled approximately $0.8 million, primarily related to cost savings initiatives and restructuring activities in the Company's European segments.
Adjusted EBITDA is a significant operating measure used by the Company to measure its operating performance and liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA was $10.7 million in the first quarter of 2012 compared to $13.3 million in the first quarter of 2011.

Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this press release are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including but not limited to statements related to plans for future business development activities, anticipated costs of revenues, product mix, research and development and selling, general and administrative activities, and liquidity and capital needs and resources. When used in this report, the words “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” “estimate,” and similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which only speak as of the date of this press release. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
GAAP Versus Non-GAAP Presentation
The Company presents adjusted EBITDA in this press release as additional information regarding the Company’s operating results. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss plus (i) benefit for income taxes, (ii) interest expense and (iii) depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to exclude the effects of certain income and expense items that management believes make it more difficult to assess the Company’s actual operating performance. The Company’s calculation of adjusted EBITDA is consistent with the calculation of Consolidated Cash Flow in the indenture governing the Notes, excluding certain pro forma items. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., and should not be considered an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance or cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities as a measure of liquidity.
The Company believes adjusted EBITDA is helpful to investors in highlighting trends because adjusted EBITDA excludes the results of certain decisions of operating management that can differ significantly from company to company depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which companies operate and capital investments. Management compensates for the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures by using them to supplement GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone. The Company also believes adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Investors use adjusted EBITDA, among other things, to assess the Company’s period-to-period operating performance and to gain insight into the manner in which management analyzes operating performance.
A reconciliation of the Company’s adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) is included in the supplemental information attached to this release.
