EURAMAX INTERNATIONAL, INC. REPORTS
FIRST QUARTER 2004 OPERATING RESULTS

Norcross, Georgia (May 7, 2004) – Euramax International, Inc. today reported operating earnings and net sales for the quarter ended March 26, 2004 of $13.5 million and $195.4 million, respectively.  Operating earnings increased 46.1% on a net sales increase of 33.7% compared to the first quarter of 2003.

The net sales increase was broadly distributed across each of Euramax’s reportable segments and included increases of over 30% in both the U.S. and Europe.  Continuing strong demand in the U.S. for residential and commercial building materials, together with the addition of net sales attributable to Berger Holdings, acquired at the end of last year, increased U.S. net sales 32.4%.  Berger Holdings’ net sales in the first quarter of 2003, prior to being acquired by Euramax in November, were $8.8 million.

In Europe, net sales increased 35.0% in the Company’s European Roll Coating segment and 36.2% in the European Fabrication segment.  Combined, net sales in Europe increased $21.4 million on higher sales of painted aluminum coil to OEM’s including European recreational vehicle manufacturers.  Increases were also attributed to higher sales volumes of fabricated products to automotive and RV customers.  Strengthening of the British Pound and Euro against the U.S. Dollar accounted for $11.1 million of the net sales increase in Europe.

Earnings from operations increased $4.3 million or 46.1% on slightly higher gross margins driven by higher sales volume.  Gross margin improvement attributed to sales volume was partially offset by lower material margins on sales of aluminum products caused by rapidly escalating aluminum prices despite higher aluminum selling prices.  Depreciation and amortization increased $1.4 million compared to the first quarter of 2003 resulting from the Berger Holdings acquisition, a stronger Euro and Pound and additional expense associated with the step-up in basis of assets in connection with the 2003 Stock Transaction wherein Citicorp Venture Capital acquired approximately 55% of the stock in Euramax.

Commenting on results, Chairman and CEO J. David Smith said, “Broad economic improvement and continuing strength in our core markets enabled us to achieve record sales and earnings for a first quarter. The quarter was not without significant challenges related to unprecedented increases in aluminum, steel and copper costs.  We attained our goals for maintaining margins where possible and recognize that this challenge will continue for the foreseeable future.”

Long-term debt at March 26, 2004 was $250.1 million and the Company had cash and equivalents of $30.6 million.  Also at quarter end, the Company had $98.7 million available and undrawn on its revolving credit facility.  Subsequent to March 26, 2004, Euramax repurchased outstanding common stock held by Court Square Capital Limited for approximately $67.8 million.  Such repurchases were funded with borrowings under the Company’s 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.
