FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CAVCO INDUSTRIES REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
Sales decline 8.6% to $43.1 million
Net income 8.5% lower to $3.2 million

PHOENIX, AZ —(October 19, 2006) – Cavco Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: CVCO) today announced financial results for the second quarter and first six months of its fiscal year 2007 ended September 30, 2006.

     Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 declined 8.6% to $43,063,000, down from $47,091,000 for the second quarter of fiscal year 2006.

     Net income for the second quarter was $3,217,000 compared with $3,517,000 in the same quarter one year ago. For the second quarter of fiscal 2007, net income per share based on basic weighted average shares outstanding was $0.51 versus $0.56 for the same period last year, and net income per share based on diluted weighted average shares outstanding was $0.49 versus $0.52 last year.

     For the first six months of fiscal 2007, net sales increased 4.5% to $97,113,000 from $92,967,000 for the same period last year. Net income for the first six months of this year was up 7.0% to $7,551,000 versus $7,059,000 for the comparable prior year period. For the first six months of fiscal 2007, net income per share based on basic weighted average shares outstanding was $1.19 versus $1.12 for the same period last year, and net income per share based on diluted weighted average shares outstanding was $1.14 versus $1.06 last year.

     Joseph Stegmayer, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “The second quarter of fiscal year 2007 has proven to be challenging, as anticipated. Order rates declined significantly during the quarter and our backlog has consequently been reduced to a low level. Manufactured home sales activity in our region, particularly in California, continues to be soft. In response to overall industry conditions, we have reduced our rate of production and have adjusted our workforce to match current market demand.”

     Mr. Stegmayer added, “We continue to enhance our product offering with new home designs, sizes and features in order to capture the existing demand for attractive, affordable housing in our market areas. We began to pursue various niche markets prior to the current sales decline, which has kept us moving forward during these difficult times. The start-up of the Texas plant is progressing slower than anticipated as it develops the people needed to improve production efficiency and expand its product line.” Mr. Stegmayer continued, “The strong environment last year versus the weak market conditions we now face will make comparisons challenging for the balance of this fiscal year. However, we intend to maximize the opportunities afforded us through the commendable efforts of our people and our distributors, and we are confident in our ability to successfully compete in these turbulent market conditions.”

     Cavco’s senior management will hold a conference call to review these results tomorrow, October 20, 2006, at 1:00 p.m. (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.earnings.com. An archive of the webcast and presentation will be available for 90 days at these website addresses.
