EX-99.1 2 v99270exv99w1.txt EXHIBIT 99.1 Exhibit 99.1 Rexhall Industries Announces First Quarter Results LANCASTER, Calif., May 19, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Rexhall Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: REXL) today reported its financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2004. Net revenues for the first quarter decreased 63% to $4,779,000 from $12,946,000 for the same period in 2003. Gross profit for the first quarter was $491,000 versus $1,602,000 last year, which is a 69% decrease. Net loss for the quarter was $430,000, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $57,000 or $0.01 per diluted share for the first quarter last year. The Company's sales continued to be below prior year levels and have declined significantly while the industry, in general, has experienced increased sales. Management believes the decline may be a result of two major factors. Availability of external flooring sources has diminished for many of the Company's dealers, and as a result, its dealer network has similarly diminished. In contrast, many of the Company's larger competitors provide flooring for its dealers -- making it easier for dealers to do business with the larger manufacturer. Management also believes its announcement of the new T-Rex floorplans may have caused sales of its standard-line products to suffer, while its dealers opt to "wait and see" how the T-Rex will be received by the public, and to reserve its limited flooring. William J. Rex, President, Chairman and CEO, stated, "Because of this, Rexhall will sell T-Rex through its own dealership. We also believe our new 2005 standard-line models coming out in June may help our sales." REXHALL INDUSTRIES, INC. CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS (UNAUDITED)

Rexhall Industries, Inc. (www.rexhall.com) designs, manufactures and sells various models of Class A motorhomes used for leisure travel and outdoor activities. Rexhall's lines of Class A motorhomes are sold through dealer locations across the U.S., Canada and Europe and include RoseAir(TM), RexAir(R), Aerbus(TM), Vision(TM) and American Clipper(TM). FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS: Our statements of our intentions or expectations made in this press release are "forward-looking statements" based on assumptions and on facts known to us today. For example, our expectations regarding our upgraded 2004 and new 2005 product line, and sales of our new T-Rex Double & Wide(TM) motorhomes are forward-looking statements. There can be no guarantee that a market will exist for our new T-Rex Double & Wide(TM) motorhomes or that our new coaches will adequately respond to market trends or appeal to the mass market. Customers might delay or forgo purchasing our conventional motorhomes preferring to wait for the release of our T-Rex Double & Wide(TM) product line, because they prefer coaches of our competitors, because they fear increases in fuel prices or interest rates, because of general economic conditions or for other reasons. This would have a negative effect on our sales and could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition. Further, if a market does not develop for our new motorhomes or if we fail to receive sufficient orders for them, our sales may decline and our business and operating results could be seriously harmed. Even if the market for our new T-Rex Double & Wide(TM) motorhomes does develop, it may not grow at an adequate pace. Moreover, we may not be able to predict precisely the time and expense required to overcome unexpected production problems and to ensure production within the time limits we expect, or the reliability and high quality of the coach at an acceptable cost. Increased costs and other difficulties associated with manufacturing these motorhomes such as our inability to obtain critical parts and components from suppliers timely or at all could have a negative impact on our sales during particular periods and on our future gross margins. Our business is seasonal and cyclical. Most of our competitors are substantially larger, and many of our suppliers and dealers have greater economic power, so that the volume and prices of both supplies and sales may be adversely affected by competitive action.
