EURAMAX INTERNATIONAL, INC. REPORTS
FIRST QUARTER OPERATING RESULTS

Norcross, Georgia (May 5, 2003) – Euramax International, Inc. today reported operating earnings and net sales for the quarter ended March 28, 2003 of $9.3 million and $146.2 million, respectively. Operating earnings increased 6.0% on a net sales increase of 9.9% compared to the first quarter of 2002.

Net sales for the quarter ended March 28, 2003 increased to $146.2 million from $133.0 million in the same period last year. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in net sales of aluminum coil and sheet, residential doors, bath enclosures, and automotive components to the Company’s European customers, together with strengthening of the Euro and Pound Sterling against the U.S. dollar. These items combined to increase net sales in Europe 26.4% from $47.6 million to $60.2 million. Net sales in the U.S. increased 0.7% from $85.3 million to $85.9 million due to higher net sales to home improvement contractors, distributors and home centers. Lower net sales to RV manufacturers and rural contractors, primarily due to a prolonged winter, partially offset these increases.

Commenting on results, Chairman and CEO J. David Smith said, “Euramax posted a solid first quarter that continued the record performance the Company achieved in 2002. The quarter provided another example of the benefit of the Company’s diversity. Very strong results from Europe, which included impressive organic growth in European fabrication, countered a generally slower pace of business activity in the U.S. caused by the prolonged winter and war in the Middle East.”

Earnings from operations increased $2.4 million in Europe resulting from higher sales of fabricated products and a more favorable product mix. This increase offset a $1.9 million reduction in earnings from operations in the U.S. The decrease in U.S earnings from operations was attributed to lower sales to rural contractors, higher freight and steel costs, partially offset by

higher steel selling prices. Earnings from operations, before depreciation and amortization increased 7.0% to $13.0 million from $12.2 million in the first quarter of 2002.

Long-term debt as of March 28, 2003, increased to $202.4 million from $197.0 million as of December 27, 2002, due primarily to seasonal increases in working capital. At the end of the quarter Euramax had cash of $11.5 million and $37.0 million available under its revolving credit facility.

Euramax is a leading international producer of aluminum, steel, vinyl and fiberglass products for original equipment manufacturers, distributors, contractors and home centers in North America and Western Europe.
