EURAMAX HOLDINGS, INC.
SECOND QUARTER 2012 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Norcross, Georgia, August 10, 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 second quarter of 2012. Net sales, operating income, and adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2012 were $223.8 million, $8.1 million, and $19.2 million, respectively. Net sales, operating income, and adjusted EBITDA for the first half of 2012 were $422.5 million, $7.8 million, and $29.8 million, respectively.

President and CEO Mitchell B. Lewis commented, "Our volume in the second quarter was impacted by the challenging economic environment in Europe as well as the severe drought conditions throughout much of the United States. Despite these overall sales declines, demand for our commercial products in the post frame construction, RV and transportation markets improved during the second quarter of 2012 compared to the prior year quarter. While operating income and adjusted EBITDA modestly declined year over year, declines were less than expected in light of weak sales demand. Initiatives taken by the Company to reduce overhead costs and streamline operations helped mitigate the impact of lower volumes and have contributed to an improvement in operating margins."

Second Quarter 2012 Financial Summary
The Company's net sales declined $33.1 million, or 12.9%, to $223.8 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to $256.9 million in the second quarter of 2011. The Company's decline in net sales is primarily related to the Company's European Roll Coated Aluminum and European Engineered Product segments. These European segments comprised approximately $27.5 million of the overall sales decline in the quarter, including an approximate $6.7 million decline due to the weakening of the euro and British pound sterling against the U.S. dollar. This decline in demand reflects the negative impact of the continuing economic uncertainty throughout Europe. Net sales of our U.S. Residential Products segment were also negatively impacted by severe drought conditions throughout much of the U.S. and by mild winter weather in the first quarter of 2012, which accelerated sales activity typically occurring during second quarter. The sales declines were partially offset by higher demand in our Commercial Products segment for steel and aluminum roofing and siding sold to distributors, contractors, lumber yards, and builders in the post frame construction markets and for aluminum, steel, fiberglass and laminated products from original equipment manufacturers in the RV and transportation markets.
Income from operations declined $0.5 million, or 5.8%, to $8.1 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to $8.6 million for the second quarter of 2011. Overall net sales declines, primarily in our European segments, negatively impacted operating income in the current quarter. Additionally, operating income in our US Commercial products segment was negatively impacted by higher cost of goods sold in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2011. Operating income in the second quarter of 2011 benefited from the FIFO impact of lower cost steel consumed in production during the period when sales prices were increasing. The impact of net sales declines and higher costs of goods sold in the quarter were generally offset by reductions in selling and general costs and other operating charges during the quarter. Lower selling and general costs reflect cost savings and restructuring initiatives in both Europe and the United States, including the consolidation of multiple plant locations within the US.
Adjusted EBITDA is a significant operating measure used by the Company to measure its operating performance and liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA was $19.2 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to $21.9 million in the second quarter of 2011. Adjusted EBITDA was negatively impacted by approximately $0.7 million due to the weakening of the euro and British pound sterling against the U.S. dollar.

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.
