Champion Enterprises Reports Fourth Quarter and Year-End 2008 Results
Champion Ends the Year with Over $1 Billion in Revenue and $66 Million of Liquidity
TROY, Mich., Feb. 18, 2009 – Champion Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE: CHB), a leader in factory-built construction, today announced the results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended Jan. 3, 2009. Revenues for the quarter decreased 42.3 percent to $187.9 million compared to $325.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2007. The Company reported a loss before income taxes of $26.6 million for the fourth quarter compared to a pretax loss of $11.2 million in the same period of 2007. The Company’s fourth quarter 2008 net loss totaled $20.8 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $6.0 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2007.
The loss before income taxes in the fourth quarter of 2008 included the following items totaling $17.4 million: foreign currency transaction losses of $8.7 million, $6.3 million impairment charge related to retail segment inventory, $1.2 million restructuring charge, $0.6 million loss on debt retirement and $0.6 million of expense recorded in connection with the earn out provisions of the ModularUK acquisition. In addition, the Company recorded a non-cash income tax benefit of $6.2 million in the quarter to reduce its deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
The fourth quarter 2007 pretax loss included the following items totaling $11.4 million: $6.4 million of expense recorded in connection with the earn out provisions of the Caledonian acquisition, $4.5 million loss on debt retirement and plant closing charges totaling $3.6 million, partially offset by income of $2.1 million from the settlement of insurance claims and $1.0 million of foreign currency transaction gains.
Revenues for the full year 2008 decreased 18.9 percent to $1.03 billion compared to $1.27 billion reported for 2007.

Champion Enterprises Reports Fourth Quarter and Year-End 2008 Results
Page 2
“Difficult global economic conditions had a negative impact on each segment of Champion’s business in the fourth quarter,” stated William Griffiths, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Champion Enterprises, Inc. “In this challenging environment, we remain focused on reducing costs and preserving liquidity. Since the beginning of 2008, we have idled or closed four plants in the U.S., reduced companywide staffing by 42 percent and curtailed other spending. Together, these actions have reduced annual fixed costs by over $30 million.
“Given that any market improvement is unlikely in the first half of the year, we will continue to focus on reducing expenses and other initiatives to maintain our strong liquidity position,” concluded Griffiths.
North American Manufacturing Segment
  Manufacturing segment net sales for the fourth quarter decreased 37.7 percent to $139.5 million compared to $224.0 million in the same period of the prior year.
 
  Revenues from the sale of modular homes in the U.S. totaled $37 million for the quarter, down from $71 million in the fourth quarter of 2007.
 
  The manufacturing segment reported a loss of $0.3 million for the quarter compared to segment income of $2.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. The segment loss for the quarter ended Jan. 3, 2009 included $0.6 million of restructuring costs. Segment income in the fourth quarter of 2007 was reduced by $3.6 million for charges related to the closure of the Company’s manufacturing facility in Alabama. The decline in segment income was driven by the significant drop in revenues as well as production inefficiencies resulting from lower backlog levels and factory utilization throughout the quarter.
 
  Segment backlogs totaled $7 million at Jan. 3, 2009 compared to $40 million at the end of the third quarter of 2008 and $56 million at the end of 2007.
 
  As a result of weak market conditions, the Company idled one of its two plants in Virginia during the fourth quarter and one of its two plants in Indiana at the beginning of February 2009. No restructuring charges were incurred as a result of these actions. Champion now operates 25 manufacturing facilities in North America.
International Manufacturing Segment
  International segment net sales decreased 54.5 percent to $41.9 million for the quarter from $92.1 million in the same period of the prior year primarily as a result of reduced prison sector revenues.
 
  Segment income for the quarter was $1.3 million, down from $3.4 million in the same period of the prior year. Contingent consideration expenses totaling $0.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2008 and $6.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 were recorded in connection with the earn out provisions of the 2008 acquisition of ModularUK and the 2006 acquisition of Caledonian, respectively. Fourth quarter 2007 results also included $2.1 million of income from the settlement of insurance claims. The segment margin for the quarter was 3.1 percent compared to 3.7 percent in the same period last year.

  For the year ended Jan. 3, 2009, international segment revenues totaled $279.6 million, down 0.4 percent from 2007 revenues of $280.8 million. Segment income in 2008 totaled $16.3 million compared to $17.4 million in 2007, and the segment margin for the year was 5.8 percent compared to 6.2 percent in the prior period.
 
  International segment order backlogs decreased during the quarter, with firm contracts and orders pending contracts under framework agreements totaling approximately $150 million at Jan. 3, 2009 compared to approximately $235 million at the end of the third quarter.
 
  The weakening of the British pound relative to the U.S. dollar during 2008 resulted in declines in sales and segment income of $12.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively, in the fourth quarter and $17.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively, for the full year. In addition, approximately half of the decrease in segment backlogs during the quarter was caused by changes in the exchange rate.
Retail Segment
  Retail segment fourth quarter 2008 revenues totaled $7.5 million, down 52.6 percent from $15.7 million for the same period last year.
 
  The retail segment reported a loss of $7.2 million for the quarter compared to a segment loss of $0.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. The fourth quarter 2008 segment loss included a $6.3 million impairment charge to reduce the value of aged inventory.
Other Items
  Cash used for operating activities totaled $3.4 million for the quarter ended Jan. 3, 2009 compared to cash provided of $45.2 million for the same period of the prior year. The unfavorable variance was the result of reduced earnings and a significantly lower level of cash provided by international segment working capital in the quarter.
 
  Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $52.8 million as of Jan. 3, 2009 compared to $99.7 million at the end of last quarter and $135.4 million at the end of 2007. The Company used $33.5 million of cash during the fourth quarter to reduce debt pursuant to the amendment of its senior secured credit agreement. With $12.8 million of available borrowing capacity under its revolving line of credit, Champion’s total liquidity stood at $65.6 million at year end.
 
  Total debt decreased during the quarter by $50 million from $363 million at the end of the third quarter to $313 million as of Jan. 3, 2009. Approximately $16 million of the decline was the result of exchange rate changes.
 
  Available U.S. federal tax loss carryforwards totaled approximately $346 million at Jan. 3, 2009 and may be utilized by the Company to offset future taxable income generated in the U.S. until the carryforwards expire in 2023 through 2028.

(3)   During the year ended January 3, 2009, the Company provided a valuation allowance for 100% of its U.S. deferred tax assets resulting in a non-cash charge of $164.5 million. In addition to this tax charge, the tax provision for the full year also includes a tax benefit for the U.S. losses and foreign tax expense of $9.6 million.
 
(4)   For the three and twelve month periods ended January 3, 2009, the Company’s retail segment recorded charges of $6.3 million and $14.1 million, respectively, to reduce inventory values to estimated market value. These charges are included in cost of sales.
 
(5)   During the fourth quarter and year ended January 3, 2009, charges totaling $1.2 million and $11.0 million, respectively, were incurred in connection with the reduction in corporate staff by 45 positions in the fourth quarter and the closure of two manufacturing facilities in Oregon and Indiana and the reduction in North American regional offices in the first quarter. Charges totaling $0.6 million and $9.9 million were recorded in the manufacturing segment with the remaining $0.6 million and $1.1 million included in general corporate expenses for the three and twelve month periods ended January 3, 2009, respectively. A portion of the first quarter 2008 charges, totaling $0.3 million, were recorded in cost of sales with the balance reported as restructuring charges.
 
    During the fourth quarter and year ended December 29, 2007, charges totaling $3.6 million and $4.9 million, respectively, were incurred in connection with the closure of a manufacturing facility in Alabama in the fourth quarter and a facility in Pennsylvania during the first quarter. These charges were recorded in the manufacturing segment. A portion of these charges, totaling $0.9 million in the fourth quarter and $1.1 million for the year, were recorded in cost of sales, with the balance reported as restructuring charges.
 
(6)   During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company recognized a pretax foreign currency translation gain of $15.9 million related to its sterling-denominated term loan. This gain, net of $6.2 million of deferred income tax expense, is reflected in the other comprehensive income component of stockholders’ equity. The Company’s net deferred tax assets decreased by $6.2 million as a result of this adjustment requiring a corresponding reduction to the related valuation allowance. The non-cash deferred income tax benefit of $6.2 million recorded to reduce the deferred tax asset valuation allowance is included in the Company’s net loss for the quarter.
 
(7)   Fourth quarter 2008 international segment income was reduced by $0.6 million of expense recorded in connection with the earn out provisions of the ModularUK Building Systems acquisition in February 2008.
 
(8)   During the fourth quarter and year ended December 29, 2007, the Company accrued an estimated payment of $13.3 million of contingent consideration related to the fiscal 2007 performance of Caledonian Building Systems Limited, acquired by Champion in 2006. Approximately $6.9 million of the amount accrued was recorded as an increase to goodwill while the remaining $6.4 million was recorded as compensation expense in the international segment. During the third quarter of 2008, the Company settled this obligation for $12.3 million, $1.0 million less than the amount accrued in 2007 as a result of changes in the exchange rate. Approximately $6.4 million of the payment is included in acquisitions and related payments on the cash flow statement with the remaining $5.9 million reflected as a reduction of cash flow from operating activities.
 
(9)   During the year ended January 3, 2009 the Company repaid the $24.0 million (CAD) note issued in connection with its acquisition of SRI.
 
(10)   The Company borrowed $25.0 million under its revolving line of credit during the third quarter of 2008 and in October 2008 repaid $10.0 million of the revolving loan and $23.5 million of its term debt pursuant to an amendment of its senior secured credit agreement.
 
(11)   Gains on disposal of fixed assets resulted primarily from the sale of two idle plants in both 2008 and 2007.
