FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CAVCO INDUSTRIES REPORTS FISCAL SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

PHOENIX, November 5, 2009 — Cavco Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: CVCO) today announced financial results for the second quarter and first six months of its fiscal year 2010 ended September 30, 2009.

As previously reported, Cavco and an investment partner, Third Avenue Value Fund (“Third Avenue”), acquired certain manufactured housing assets of Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc. on August 17, 2009 (“Date of Acquisition”) through their jointly owned corporation, FH Holding, Inc., now named Fleetwood Homes, Inc. (“Fleetwood Homes” or the “subsidiary”).

The transaction included seven manufactured housing plants located in Nampa, Idaho; Woodburn, Oregon; Riverside, California; Waco, Texas; Lafayette, Tennessee; Douglas, Georgia; and Rocky Mount, Virginia, and two idled factories located in Woodland, California and Waco, Texas. In addition, Fleetwood Homes purchased all related equipment, accounts receivable, inventory, certain trademarks and trade names, intellectual property, and specified contracts and leases and assumed express warranty liabilities pertaining to certain of the previous operations. The purchase price of the transaction was $25.8 million and was paid in cash by the subsidiary. Neither Cavco nor Fleetwood Homes incurred debt in connection with the purchase or subsequent operations.

Financial information for Fleetwood Homes is included in the Cavco Industries, Inc. consolidated financial statements since the Date of Acquisition. Fleetwood Homes was formed by Cavco and Third Avenue with each contributing $35.0 million in exchange for equal ownership interests. Although Cavco holds a fifty-percent financial interest in the new subsidiary, Fleetwood Homes is required to be fully consolidated under generally accepted accounting principles. Third Avenue’s financial interest in Fleetwood Homes is considered a “noncontrolling interest,” as determined by generally accepted accounting principles. As a result, amounts attributable to Third Avenue are stated under the caption “noncontrolling interest” in the consolidated financial statements.

Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 totaled $29,377,000, down 2% from $30,030,000 for the second quarter of fiscal year 2009.

Net loss attributable to Cavco stockholders for the fiscal 2010 second quarter was $163,000 compared to net income of $518,000 reported in the same quarter one year ago. Net loss per share based on basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding was $0.03 versus basic and diluted net income per share of $0.08 last year. During the quarter we incurred $711,000 in non-recurring acquisition related costs for the purchase of the Fleetwood Homes assets.

For the first six months of fiscal 2010, net sales decreased 34% to $42,972,000 from $65,539,000 for the comparable prior year period. Net loss attributable to Cavco stockholders for the first half of fiscal 2010 was $1,612,000 compared to net income of $1,371,000 last year. For the six months ended September 30, 2009, net loss per share based on basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding was $0.25, versus basic and diluted net income per share of $0.21 and $0.20, respectively for the prior year period.

Commenting on the quarter, Joseph Stegmayer, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are pleased to report, for the first time, the results of our newly expanded operations after successfully completing the purchase of the Fleetwood Homes assets. Our performance, while modest, was encouraging considering the challenges current economic conditions presented. Diligent efforts are underway to grow sales volume and improve profit margins at all ten of our factories. A particular focus this quarter was on controlling operating and overhead costs in connection with the acquisition.”

Mr. Stegmayer continued, “During the entire purchase process, we were driven by our belief in the long-term opportunities associated with the Fleetwood Homes brand and operations, and encouraged by the tangible enthusiasm of the Fleetwood people. Combining Fleetwood Homes with the strength of Cavco’s business, we are building a formidable nationwide competitor in the manufactured housing industry.”

Cavco’s senior management will hold a conference call to review these results tomorrow, November 6, 2009, at 11:00 AM (Eastern Time). Interested parties can access a live webcast of the conference call on the Internet at www.cavco.com under the Investor Relations link, or the web site www.opencompany.info. An archive of the webcast and presentation will be available for 90 days at www.cavco.com under the Investor Relations link.
