EXCHANGES TSX: DII.B, DII.A

MONTREAL, March 11 /CNW Telbec/ - Dorel Industries Inc. (TSX: DII.B DII.A) today announced full results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 30, 2007. On March 4, 2008 the Company pre-released certain fiscal 2007 financial information in advance of a series of investor meetings. On an adjusted basis, fiscal 2007 net income was US$100.1 million, an increase of US$8.1 million from 2006 levels and the highest level ever recorded in Dorel's history. The Juvenile segment was a major factor in this success, and for the year it recorded revenues of US$963.6 million and just over US$114 million in adjusted earnings from operations, both all time records. The Recreational/Leisure segment also improved with a 10.0% gain in revenues and a 26.8% increase in earnings from operations.

Revenue for the fourth quarter increased 2.4% to US$458.9 million from US$447.9 million a year ago. In the fourth quarter, net income grew 3.1% to US$22.3 million, or US$0.67 per diluted share compared to US$21.7 million, or US$0.66 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2006. These results include the previously announced restructuring costs at Dorel Europe and Ameriwood Industries. Therefore adjusted net income, excluding these costs, for the fourth quarter was US$24.0 million or US$0.72 per diluted share compared to adjusted net income of US$24.4 million or US$0.74 per diluted share a year ago.

Full year revenue was US$1.81 billion versus last year's US$1.77 billion. 2007 net income was basically flat at US$87.5 million or US$2.63 per diluted share, compared to 2006 net earnings of US$88.9 million or US$2.70 per diluted share. However, excluding the above mentioned restructuring costs in both years, 2007 adjusted net income was US$100.1 million or US$3.01 per diluted share compared to adjusted net income of US$92.0 million or US$2.80 per diluted share last year. Pre-tax earnings for the year were also up considerably over 2006 levels. On an adjusted basis for the fourth quarter pre-tax earnings increased 18.3% to US$31.1 million and for the year the increase was 19.8%, reaching US$125.8 million.

"The solid 2007 results underline the growing contribution of the Company's core Juvenile and Recreational/Leisure segments. We are encouraged by this strong showing as we continue to further unlock value within the Company with these two business segments. We are already a world leader in juvenile in our categories and this performance, combined with our recent acquisition of Cannondale and SUGUOi, solidifies our leadership position as a world class bicycle company as well," said Dorel CEO and President, Martin Schwartz.

(x)adjusted to exclude after-tax impact of restructuring costs


Juvenile Segment

The Juvenile segment had its most successful year ever, as revenues
reached almost US$1 billion, finishing the year at US$963.6 million, up 8.4%
from 2006. Full year earnings from operations were US$106.2 million, an
increase of 15.4% over 2006. Excluding restructuring costs in France and
Italy, 2007 earnings from operations rose 19.2% to US$114.4 million compared
to US$96.0 million a year ago. Fourth quarter revenue increased 9.9% to
US$248.0 million from US$225.7 million last year. Earnings from operations in
the quarter were US$25.8 million up from US$19.2 million the year before, a
34.2% increase. Adjusted earnings from operations for the quarter rose 20.6%
to US$28.0 million from US$23.2 million in 2006.
The year's success was driven by Dorel Europe where organic sales growth
was just over 10%. In U.S. dollars this increase was over 20% due to the
strong Euro and British Pound. The increase was principally due to sales gains
in car seats and strollers as the investments made in new product development
proved successful. The majority of these increases were in the United Kingdom,
Germany as well as several eastern European countries as this relatively new
market continues to be penetrated. These gains compensated for a decline in
North American revenues.
Gross margins for the Juvenile segment as a whole were 30.6% in 2007 as
compared to 29.7% in 2006, due principally to the improvement in Europe.
Selling general and administrative costs increased over 2006 levels from
US$132.7 million to US$143.0 million. The increase resulted from higher costs
in Europe due to greater sales activity and the higher rate of exchange in
2007, as well as the addition of the Australian business in the year.
Offsetting these increases was a decline in product liability costs in the
United States of US$8.6 million. These costs totalled US$16.6 million in 2007
and US$25.2 million in 2006.

Recreational / Leisure Segment

Revenue for the year in the Recreational / Leisure segment increased by
10.0% to US$374.8 million from US$340.7 million the year before. Earnings from
operations jumped 26.8% to US$33.0 million from US$26.0 million a year ago.
For the fourth quarter, revenue was US$85.8 million, an 11.6% increase from
the previous year's US$76.9 million. In the fourth quarter, earnings from
operations were essentially flat at US$5.8 million as compared to
US$5.9 million the year before.
For the year, the improvement was due to success in both the mass merchant
and Independent Bicycle Dealers (IBD) channels. The majority of the increase
came from several key mass customers as sales rebounded after declines in
2006. Sales were also strong with certain warehouse club customers, a
relatively new distribution channel for this segment. These increases, at both
existing and new customers, were driven by bicycle sales, although other
recreational product lines continue to be explored and added in an attempt to
diversify sales of the segment.
Gross margins for the year increased by 70 basis points. However fiscal
2006 included a one-time US$3.5 million inventory write-down, therefore
margins were, in fact, consistent with the prior year. Selling, general and
administrative expenses rose moderately from US$36.9 million in 2006 to
US$38.3 million in 2007. However as a percentage of revenue this represents a
decrease of 60 basis points as 2007 sales volume increases outpaced additional
spending.

Home Furnishings Segment

Total 2007 revenue was US$475.3 million versus US$541.9 million the prior
year, a 12.3% decrease. Earnings from operations in 2007 were US$17.2 million,
a 44.8% decrease from US$31.2 million in 2006. Adjusted earnings from
operations for the year were down 11.8% to US$28.1 million compared to last
year's US$31.9 million. Revenue for the fourth quarter was US$125.0 million,
down 13.9% from last year's US$145.3 million. Despite the revenue decline,
earnings from operations were US$10.4 million as compared to US$8.9 million in
2006. Adjusted earnings from operations for the fourth quarter rose 19.9% to
US$10.7 million from US$8.9 million.
During the year the slowdown in the U.S. housing industry negatively
impacted this segment. The two divisions experiencing the greatest sales
decline were Ameriwood and Dorel Asia, both of which experienced decreases
exceeding 10%. Cosco Home & Office and Dorel Home Products were less affected
and combined were essentially flat with the prior year. Even though sales were
lower, adjusted gross margins for the segment increased by 70 basis points to
15.6% from 14.9% in 2006. Despite the decline in earnings, this segment was a
strong contributor to the Company's free cash flow in 2007.

Restructuring costs

The Company is including adjusted earnings figures in this press release
that are considered non-GAAP financial measures, as it believes this results
in a more meaningful comparison of its core business performance between the
periods presented. Therefore the terms "adjusted gross margin", "adjusted
earnings from operations", "adjusted pre-tax income, "adjusted net income" and
"adjusted net income per diluted share" should be considered as non-GAAP
financial measures. Where applicable the segmented results presented exclude
restructuring costs and use the term "adjusted" when describing these results.
For the fourth quarter and full year, the combined after-tax impact of the
previously announced restructuring initiatives in Juvenile (Dorel Europe) and
Home Furnishings (Ameriwood) is US$1.6 million or US$0.05 per diluted share
and US$12.6 million or US$0.38 per diluted share respectively. A complete
reconciliation of adjusted earnings to GAAP earnings is attached at the end of
this press release.

Other

The Company had its strongest cash flow year in history, generating a
record US$167.3 million in cash flow provided by operating activities. This
was an increase of US$60.6 million or 56.8% from the US$106.7 million posted
in 2006. Free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, defined as cash
provided by operating activities less dividends paid, additions to property,
plant & equipment, deferred development costs and intangibles, plus or minus
variations in funds held by ceding insurer, was US$116.2 million in 2007
versus US$83.4 million, an improvement of US$32.8 million. The 2007 free cash
flow amount is net of dividends of US$12.5 million, the first year in which
Dorel has paid a dividend.
As a result of the Company's strong free cash flow, debt reduction meant
total interest costs declined in 2007 to US$23.5 million from US$29.9 million
in 2006. The Company's average interest rate on its long-term borrowings and
revolving facilities in 2007 was approximately 6.4%, as compared to the
average of 6.7% in 2006. In 2007 the Company's effective tax rate was 17.9% as
compared to 11.4% in 2006. The reasons for the increase in the rate were
twofold. First, there were a greater proportion of earnings in higher tax rate
jurisdictions in 2007 versus 2006 and second, unlike in 2006, the Company was
unable to apply certain tax losses.

Outlook

On February 4, 2008, Dorel announced the acquisition of the Cannondale
Bicycle Corporation and SUGOi Performance Apparel. This resulted in the
establishment of a new Recreational/Leisure division, the Cannondale Sports
Group, with an exclusive focus on the Independent Bicycle Dealers (IBD)
channel.
"Our 2007 success stems from the combined strength of our Juvenile and
Recreational/Leisure businesses. The acquisition of Cannondale and SUGOi
fortifies our position and stature in the bicycle industry and underlines our
commitment to further unlock shareholder value by concentrating on Dorel's
core segments, which provide the greatest potential. The new Cannondale Sports
Group will build on Cannondale's strengths to grow significantly within the
IBD channel. Our intention is to build a world-class company and to offer a
line of products that will be desired by both dealers and consumers.
"We will continue to strive to optimize the results of each of our
segments and we will devote the necessary resources to ensure their growth and
development. The current economic situation, particularly in the US, does not
allow for the accurate prediction of consumer trends and hence the outlook for
the complete year cannot be seen with clarity. Nonetheless, we have not
witnessed any slowdown of consumer spending in Dorel's products during the
first two months of 2008," concluded Mr. Schwartz.
