             Dayton Superior Third Quarter Conference Call

    DAYTON, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 1, 2005--Dayton Superior
Corporation reported today that on the Company's regularly scheduled
earnings release conference call on November 29, 2005, during the
question and answer period, certain investors inquired about the
Company's expectations regarding 2006 earnings and EBITDA. The purpose
of this press release is to advise investors that the Company has not
yet finalized its 2006 budget and is, therefore, not yet in a position
to estimate what results of operations in 2006 will be. Any
implication arising from the question and answer period of the
earnings conference call that the Company has a final budget for 2006
or has formulated a reliable estimate of 2006 EBITDA or any other
measure of operating results for 2006 was unintentional and should not
be relied upon.
