MONTREAL, Nov. 5 /CNW Telbec/ - Dorel Industries Inc. (TSX: DII.B DII.A) today released results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2008. Revenue for the period was US$552.2 million, up 25.5% from US$440.1 million for the third quarter last year. Organic revenue growth in the quarter was 9%. Net income for the three months was US$27.2 million or US$0.82 per diluted share compared to US$26.4 million or US$0.79 per diluted share a year ago. Included are the restructuring costs at Dorel Europe and Ameriwood. Excluding these costs, net income was US$27.1 million or US$0.82 per diluted share, compared to 2007 third quarter net income of US$27.0 million or US$0.81 per diluted share.

Revenue for the nine months was US$1.7 billion, up 25.6% from the US$1.35 billion a year ago. Year-to-date organic revenue growth was also 9%. Year-to-date net income was US$93.7 million or US$2.81 per diluted share, compared to last year's US$65.1 million or US$1.96 per diluted share. Excluding restructuring costs, nine month net income was US$94.7 million or US $2.84 per diluted share, compared to net income for the same period last year of US$76.1 million or US$2.29 per diluted share.

"Over the past three months Dorel's businesses have performed well relative to the economy and other industries. Sales increased in each of our three segments at a time when consumers are being particularly careful about their purchases. This speaks to the recognition of our brands, the value in our product offerings and the variety of price points throughout our categories. The spiral in commodity prices has ended and we have been able to offset the majority of these increases," commented Dorel President and CEO, Martin Schwartz.

Third quarter revenue in the Juvenile segment was up 8.6% over last year,
with North America and Europe each accounting for approximately one half of
the improvement. Organic sales growth in Europe was 4% in the quarter and 10%
for the nine months. The stronger Euro overall year-to-date in 2008 was also a
contributor, increasing the European growth percentage to 11% for the quarter
and 22% for the nine month period.
In North America, sales also improved from last year, increasing over 6%
for the quarter and 9% year-to-date. This growth was driven by DJG USA which
had successes in the car seat and stroller product categories. Finally, 2008
year-to-date sales include an additional two months of sales at Dorel's
Australian operation as the comparative figures include only seven months of
that division's results.

(x) 2008 revenue figures exclude Inter-segment sales of US$ 4.7 million

The majority of the revenue increase in both the third quarter and first
nine months was due to the acquisitions of Cannondale and Sugoi, that occurred
in February 2008, as well as PTI Sports, whose assets were purchased in June
of this year. In addition, organic sales rose, driven by the segment's strong
mass merchant performance, with sales to these customers exceeding
expectations. Cannondale's business model is impacted more by seasonality and
new model introduction timing than Dorel's Recreational / Leisure mass
merchant business and the third quarter can be the weakest. This was the case
in 2008, but despite this, orders were up for Cannondale year-over-year.
However supply issues for some of Cannondale's carbon models created delays
which are now in the process of being resolved.
Higher margins on Cannondale bicycles and SUGOi apparel again contributed
to increased gross margins in the quarter.

(x) 2008 revenue figures exclude Inter-segment sales of US$ 7.7 million
    (2007; US$ 5.4 million)

Sales of wooden furniture, both domestic and imported, increased over last
year, while futon sales were flat with the prior year. The first half's
downward sales trend in metal folding furniture persisted into the third
quarter, partially offsetting sales gains in the other divisions.
The year-to-date earnings of US$7.7 million compared to US$0.3 million a
year ago include US$10.6 million of restructuring costs in 2007. Offsetting
this was a 2007 insurance recovery relating to prior periods of US$2.2
million. Excluding these two amounts from 2007 earnings, the variation in
earnings from operations year-over-year was primarily due to the decreased
earnings at Cosco Home & Office.

New Board Member

Dorel also announced today that it has named Richard L. Markee to its Board of Directors, effective immediately. Mr. Markee is a highly regarded retail industry expert. He joined Toys "R" Us, Inc. in 1990 and served in various senior capacities in the Kids "R" Us and Babies "R" Us divisions. In 2003 he was named Vice Chairman of Toys "R" Us, where he was responsible for the growth and expansion of Babies "R" Us. He was also Chairman of Toys "R" Us, Japan. Prior to joining the Toys "R" Us organization, Mr. Markee was a Vice President of Target Stores. He is currently an operating partner at private equity firm Irving Place Capital.

Mr. Markee is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin with a degree in Economics. He resides in Bernardsville, New Jersey with his wife and their two daughters. He replaces Robert P. Baird who relinquished his Board position earlier this year to become President of Dorel's Recreational/Leisure segment.

Quarterly Dividend

The Board of Directors of Dorel declared its regular quarterly dividend of US$0.125 per share on the outstanding number of the Company's Class A Multiple Voting Shares, Class B Subordinate Voting Shares and Deferred Share Units. The dividend is payable on December 3, 2008 to shareholders of record as at the close of business on November 19, 2008.

Outlook

"Despite serious challenges affecting all companies since the outset of the current year, including rising commodity prices, higher costs for finished goods sourced in China and the weakening economy, Dorel significantly increased its profitability during the first nine months of the year. However, recent economic events have been particularly volatile. As such, going forward, it is difficult to provide clarity as to how consumers, retailers and suppliers are going to react. Obviously, we are not immune to the current situation and we have seen some retailers start to reduce inventories in some of our product lines. Therefore, we do anticipate an impact on our fourth quarter

We believe the fundamentals of our business remain solid and Dorel's products have traditionally done well in recessionary times. Over the years we have seen that despite difficult economic situations, consumers continue to purchase juvenile items and our diverse product line should match up well to their needs. In Recreational / Leisure, we sell bicycles across all price points and the bicycle/fitness industry as a whole is benefitting from recent attitudes towards the environment and personal health. In addition, Dorel has always operated in the value priced home furnishings market and as consumers look toward less expensive furniture purchases, we will be represented. Our strong brands, value priced products and excellent positioning at the mass merchants leave us optimistic that consumers will continue to choose Dorel's products. We continue to be supplied by financially strong, quality vendors with which we have long-standing relationships. Our banking relationships are strong and our credit facilities are secured into 2010. As we look towards the longer term, recent declines in commodity prices and fuel costs, should help mitigate some of the economic uncertainties over the next few quarters.

Fluctuations in currency values against the U.S. dollar also have an impact on our results and recently the majority of these currencies have declined in value. There are hedging contracts in place for 2009. At today's exchange rates, the impact of these contracts would be positive in the fourth quarter of 2008, but the volatility in these rates makes it difficult to quantify this impact.

Our 2008 expected results remain on track to be our best year ever, exceeding our fiscal 2007's record year when, excluding restructuring charges, we recorded the highest net income in our history. Also, with the fall in the value of the Canadian dollar, we remind investors that while our shares trade in Canadian dollars, Dorel reports in U.S. dollars and this should have a positive impact on the Company's Canadian dollar valuation," concluded Mr. Schwartz.
