     PHOENIX, ARIZONA, March 15, 2005 . . . MEADOW VALLEY CORPORATION (NASDAQ:MVCO) today announced higher consolidated revenue and net income for the fourth quarter and 2004 compared to the same periods of 2003.

2004 Fourth Quarter Results

     For the three months ended December 31, 2004, revenue increased 13% to $41.9 million from $37.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2003, reflecting a 7% increase in construction services revenue and a 27% increase in construction materials revenue. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2004 was $0.55 million, or $0.15 per diluted share. This compares to a net loss for the fourth quarter of 2003 of $(0.32) million, or $(0.09) per share.

2004 Annual Results

     For the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, revenue increased 8% to $166.8 million from $154.1 million for 2003, reflecting a 2% decrease in construction services revenue and a 33% increase in revenue for construction materials. Net income for 2004 was $0.6 million, or $0.16 per diluted share. This compares to net income for 2003 of $0.1 million, or $0.03 per diluted share.

Construction Materials: Ready Mix, Inc.

     Revenue for Ready Mix, Inc. (RMI), the Company’s wholly owned construction materials subsidiary, increased to $14.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2004 and $58.7 million for the year. This compares to revenue of $11.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2003 and $44.0 million for the year. Gross margin was 12.5% for the fourth quarter of 2004 and 11.3% for the year. This compares to gross margin of 9.0% and 9.3% for comparable periods of 2003.

     On February 11, 2005, Ready Mix, Inc. filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the initial public offering of 1,000,000 shares of RMI common stock at a proposed offering price of $12.00 per share. The shares will be offered on a firm commitment basis through Wunderlich Securities, Memphis, TN. Subsequent to the offering, Meadow Valley will own 1,500,000 shares of RMI common stock, or 60% of the total shares of RMI outstanding.

Construction Services

     Revenue from Meadow Valley’s construction services business increased to $27.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2004 compared to $26.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2003. For 2004, revenue declined to $108.2 million from $110.1 million for 2003. Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2004 was 0.8% compared to a gross margin loss of (0.9)% for the fourth quarter of 2003. For 2004, gross margin was 0.3% compared to gross margin of 2% for 2003.

     The Company recognized losses on a single project in Utah of approximately $1.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2004 and $5.2 million for the year, which had the effect of reducing gross margin for the construction services segment. For 2003, losses recognized on this project totaled $2.5 million. “We do not expect to incur any additional losses on this project, whose poor performance has masked the solid performance of our other heavy construction projects in Arizona and Nevada. Going forward, we plan to concentrate our heavy construction activities in Arizona and Nevada, which historically have been the most successful markets for Meadow Valley,” said Chief Executive Officer Bradley Larson.

Backlog

     Backlog in the construction services segment at December 31, 2004 increased to $93.6 million, which includes approximately $90.0 million of work that is scheduled for completion during 2005. At December 31, 2003, backlog was approximately 70.6 million.
