CHICAGO, ILLINOIS - April 24, 2013 - Melvin J. Gordon, Chairman,
Tootsie Roll Industries, Inc. reported first quarter 2013 net
sales and net earnings.

First quarter 2013 net sales were $110,279,000 compared to
$109,763,000 in first quarter 2012, an increase of $516,000.
First quarter 2013 net earnings were $9,069,000 compared to
$8,774,000 in first quarter 2012, and net earnings per share were
$.15 and $.14 in first quarter 2013 and 2012, respectively, an
increase of $.01 per share or 7%.

Mr. Gordon said, "First quarter 2013 net earnings benefited from
more favorable ingredient costs as well as plant efficiencies
driven by capital investments. We are continuing to make progress
on restoring our margins to their historical levels before the
increases in commodity and other input costs in recent years.
Unfavorable foreign exchange in first quarter 2013 and a lower
effective income tax rate in first quarter 2012 adversely
affected the comparative results. The Company's first quarter
2013 net earnings per share did benefit from common stock
purchases in the open market resulting in fewer shares
outstanding."
