CINRAM FIRST QUARTER REPORT 2003 Unaudited first quarter ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 (PHOTO OF RACE CAR) A RECORD PERFORMANCE (CINRAM LOGO) CINRAM ANNOUNCES 2003 FIRST QUARTER RESULTS For the first quarter ended March 31, 2003, consolidated revenue increased by 8% to $195.1 million, up from $181.4 million in the prior year first quarter. Earnings before interest expense, investment income and income taxes (EBIT*) increased to $17.7 million, compared to $6.2 million in 2002. Net earnings increased to $10.9 million or $0.20 diluted per share, compared to $4.0 million or $0.07 diluted per share in the prior year first quarter. In the United States, first quarter revenue increased by 8%, led by a significant increase in DVD unit shipments, combined with higher distribution services revenue. In Canada, first quarter revenue increased by 31%, driven by the growth in DVD unit shipments, primarily from the recent signing of an exclusive DVD replication supply agreement. In Europe, revenue decreased by 12%, the result of lower CD and VHS video cassette shipments, partially offset by higher DVD unit sales. Early in 2003, the Company completed the sale of its facility in the Netherlands, resulting in a charge to earnings of $4.6 million. This charge was reflected in our 2002 year end results. The demand for DVDs continues to exceed expectations. In the 2003 first quarter, DVD sales represented 37% of consolidated revenue, up from 25% in the prior year. Accordingly, the Company has placed orders for additional DVD capacity, scheduled for initial delivery in May. Once this equipment is installed, the Company will have a daily capacity of 1 million units for North America. Gross profit for the 2003 first quarter increased to $34.0 million from $24.9 million during the same period last year. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit increased to 17% in the 2003 first quarter, compared to 14% in the prior year first quarter. The increase in gross profit resulted from a shift in product mix to DVDs, improved production efficiencies and the increased ability to manufacture DVD orders in house. Selling, general and administrative expense for the 2003 first quarter decreased slightly to $18.0 million compared to $18.2 million during the same period last year. This decrease was partly due to the fact that costs associated with the VHS video cassette and music cassette facility in the Netherlands are no longer included in the 2003 results. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expense decreased to 9.2% during the 2003 first quarter, as compared to 10.0% in the prior year period. As at March 31, 2003, the Company's gross cash position was $183.0 million compared to $164.2 million as at December 31, 2002, and the net cash position, consisting of cash and cash equivalents less bank operating loans and long-term debt, was $135.6 million compared to $110.2 million as of the end of 2002. The increase in the cash balances is directly attributable to the Company's strong cash flow from operations during the quarter. DIVIDEND The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.03 per share, payable on June 30, 2003 to the shareholders of record at the close of business on June 15, 2003. OUTLOOK Cinram remains optimistic about its performance for the balance of the year given the continued strong demand for DVDs, which should more than offset any declines in other media products. cinram 01 2003 ABOUT CINRAM INTERNATIONAL INC.

External economic and industry factors remain substantially unchanged, unless otherwise stated. OVERVIEW Net earnings for the first quarter of 2003 of $10.9 million increased from the prior year first quarter earnings of $4.0 million, resulting from an increase in DVD unit shipments across all regions, combined with higher distribution revenues. REVENUE 2003 first quarter revenue increased 8% to $195.1 million, an increase from $181.4 million in the prior year period. Total multimedia units shipped increased by 6% during the 2003 first quarter. The significant increase in DVD unit shipments was partially offset by unit declines for audio CD, CD-ROM, audio cassettes and VHS video cassettes. Furthermore, the Company experienced lower average selling prices for all media formats during the first quarter of 2003 as compared to the prior year period. 2003 first quarter revenue from the home video replication/duplication segment increased to $121.1 million from $111.6 million in the prior year period. DVD revenue increased by 62% in the 2003 first quarter as consumer demand for this product continued to grow. The growth in DVD demand during the first quarter of 2003 was offset by a 30% decrease in VHS video cassette revenue, resulting from demand for DVDs replacing demand for VHS video cassettes, combined with lower selling prices. 2003 first quarter revenue from the audio/ROM replication/duplication segment decreased to $39.8 million from $52.2 million in the prior year period. Audio CD revenue decreased 12%, resulting from lower unit shipments combined with declining average selling prices. CD-ROM revenue decreased 32% from the first quarter of last year, resulting from a decrease in demand from the internet service provider market. Audio cassette revenue decreased 62% in the first quarter of 2003 compared to the prior year period, as sales for this format continue to decline throughout the industry. Furthermore, first quarter revenue was negatively impacted by the sale of the Company's VHS video cassette and audio cassette manufacturing facility in the Netherlands. Distribution services revenue (included in "other" segment) increased to $18.4 million during the first quarter of 2003, up from $12.1 million in the prior year period. The growth in distribution service revenue is expected to continue as customers offload their distribution requirements to manufacturers such as Cinram. GEOGRAPHIC SEGMENTS NORTH AMERICA North American revenue increased 14% to $155.0 million in the first quarter of 2003, up from $135.9 million in the first quarter of 2002, driven by revenue growth in Canada, and to a lesser extent the United States. In Canada, 2003 first quarter revenue increased 31%, reflecting additional business from new DVD and distribution contracts, partially offset by lower demand for CDs, audio cassettes and VHS video cassettes, combined with lower selling prices. During the first cinram 03 2003 quarter of 2003, revenue from Canadian operations represented 22% of consolidated revenues, compared to 18% in the prior year. In the United States, revenue increased 8% in 2003 from the first quarter of 2002, reflecting continued growth in DVD unit shipments, combined with an increase in distribution services revenue. The Company expects this trend to continue given the growing consumer demand for DVDs. During the 2003 first quarter, increased DVD revenue was partially offset by revenue declines for CD, audio cassette and VHS video cassette. As a result, U.S. revenues represented 55% of consolidated revenue, consistent with the prior year. In Mexico, 2003 first quarter revenue increased 31% from the prior year, resulting from the increase in DVD and distribution revenue. This region represented 3% of consolidated sales during the first quarter of 2003, compared to 2% in the prior year. EUROPE In Europe, revenue decreased 12% to $40.1 million in the first quarter of 2003, down from $45.5 million in the prior year comparable period, due to the sale of the Company's facility in The Netherlands in early 2003. Excluding revenue from this facility, revenue for Europe increased 2%, resulting from the increased demand for DVDs and distribution services. European revenue represented 21% of consolidated sales, down from 25% in the prior year. In terms of individual territories, revenue in the UK decreased by 12% in the first quarter of 2003 as unit shipments of VHS video cassettes declined, partially offset by an increase in DVD unit sales. In France, 2003 first quarter revenue increased by 9% in comparison to prior year levels, due to increases in both DVD unit shipments and distribution services revenue. INDUSTRY SEGMENTS Cinram's home video segment, consisting of DVDs and VHS videocassettes, represented $121.1 million of revenue in the 2003 first quarter, increasing from $111.6 million in the prior year comparable period. This segment accounted for 62% of consolidated revenue, consistent with the prior year. DVD revenue increased 62% to $72.9 million from $45.0 million in the prior year, reflecting increased consumer demand for this product across all geographic regions, especially in the United States. DVD revenue represents 37% of consolidated revenue in the first quarter of 2003, up from 25% in the first quarter of 2002. Video cassette revenue decreased by 30% to $44.6 million in the first quarter of 2003, down from $63.5 million in the prior year, reflecting a decrease in both unit shipments and selling prices. VHS video cassette revenue represents 23% of consolidated revenue for the first quarter of 2003, down from 35% in the prior year period. Revenue from Cinram's audio/ROM segment, consisting of audio CD, CD-ROM and audiocassette, totaled $39.8 million in the first quarter of 2003, decreasing from $52.2 million in the prior year comparable period. This segment accounted for 20% of consolidated revenue during the 2003 first quarter, a decrease from 29% in the prior year, as the Company experienced reduced unit sales for audio CD, CD-ROM and audio cassette. cinram 04 2003 2003 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (continued) Audio CD revenue decreased 12% in the first quarter of 2003 from the prior year comparable period due to declining selling prices. CD-ROM revenue decreased 32% during the 2003 first quarter compared to the prior year period, driven by reduced orders associated with the internet service provider market. Audio cassette revenue decreased 62% in the 2003 first quarter, due in part to the sale of the Company's Netherlands facility. This facility accounted for 35% of Cinram's audio cassette revenue in first quarter of 2002. Distribution and fulfillment services revenue (included in "other" segment) increased to $18.4 million in the first quarter of 2003, up from $12.1 million in the first quarter of 2002. The Company provides these services in addition to manufacturing, as these services continue to be a key driver of business, as well as a major influence in the Company's ability to secure significant new contracts. Distribution and fulfillment services revenue represents 9% of consolidated revenue in 2003, up from 7% in the first quarter of 2002. GROSS PROFIT Gross profit was $34.0 million for the 2003 first quarter, compared to $24.9 million in the prior year comparable period. As a percentage of sales, gross profit increased to 17%, compared to 14% over the past year. The increase is the result of the continued shift in product mix towards DVDs which provide higher margins on a per unit basis, combined with lower fixed overhead, particularly in the United States. Amortization expense from capital assets increased to $16.6 million in the 2003 first quarter, compared to $15.9 million in the prior year period, driven by the increase in capital expenditures over the past few years, combined with the accelerated amortization for VHS video cassette and CD equipment implemented in the second quarter of 2002. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased slightly from prior year, totaling $18.0 million in the first quarter of 2003, compared to $18.2 million in the prior year. As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 9% in the 2003 first quarter, compared to 10% in the prior year period. The decrease in costs was the associated with the sale of the Netherlands facility, effective January 2, 2003. INTEREST EXPENSE Interest expense decreased to $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2003, compared to $1.3 million in 2002, resulting from the reduction in capital lease obligations associated with the sale of the facility in The Netherlands. INVESTMENT INCOME Investment income increased to $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2003, compared to $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2002, resulting from higher average cash balances. cinram 05 2003 INCOME TAXES The Company's effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2003 is 38%, compared to an effective rate of 28% in the comparable prior year period. The low effective tax rate in the prior year includes income tax recoveries relating to loss carry forwards previously not recorded in certain jurisdictions. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES As of March 31, 2003, the Company's net cash position, consisting of cash and cash equivalents less bank operating loans and long-term debt, was $135.6 million compared to $110.2 million at December 31, 2002. This increase in the net cash position is the result of cash flow from operations during the first quarter of 2003. The Company's working capital position was $194.4 million at the end of the 2003 first quarter, up from $186.1 million as at December 31, 2002. Earnings before interest expense, investment income and income taxes (EBIT*) was $17.6 million during the 2003 first quarter, compared to $6.2 million in the first quarter of 2002. During the first quarter of 2003, Cinram invested $10.9 million in capital assets, the majority earmarked for increased DVD capacity in North America, as the Company anticipates increasing capacity by 45% during the current year. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES The risks and uncertainties faced by the Company are substantially the same as those disclosed in the MD&A section of its December 31, 2002 Annual Report.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES These unaudited consolidated financial statements do not contain all disclosures required by Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for annual financial statements, and accordingly, these unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the most recently prepared annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2003 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months then ended. The Company's business follows a seasonal pattern, with pre-recorded media sales traditionally being higher in the fourth quarter than in other quarterly periods due to consumer holiday buying patterns. As a result, a disproportionate portion of total revenues is typically earned in the fourth quarter. The business seasonality results in performance for the first quarter ended March 31, 2003, which is not necessarily indicative of performance for the balance of the year. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP and are based upon accounting principles consistent with those used and described in note 1 to the December 31, 2002 audited consolidated financial statements, except as follows: GUARANTEES: (a) Effective January 1, 2003, the Company implemented Accounting Guideline 14 "Disclosure of Guarantees", issued by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants, which requires a guarantor to disclose in its notes to the consolidated financial statements significant information about guarantees it has provided. Under this Guideline, a guarantee is defined as a contract or indemnification agreement, which requires the Company to make payments (cash, financial instruments, other assets, the Company's own shares or the provision of services) to a third party contingent on future events. These payments are contingent on either (i) changes in an underlying interest rate, security price, commodity price, foreign exchange rate or other variables that are related to an asset, liability or an equity security of the guaranteed party, (ii) the failure of another party to pay its indebtedness when due (a "Guarantee"). The disclosures are required even when the likelihood of the guarantor having to make any payments under the Guarantee is remote. The Company provided routine indemnification's, whose terms range in duration and often are not explicitly defined. These guarantees may include performance, pricing, delivery and customer inventory. The maximum amount from these indemnification's cannot be reasonably estimated. In some cases the Company has recourse against other parties to mitigate its risk of loss from these guarantees. Historically, the Company has not made significant payments relating to these type of indemnification's. cinram 10 2003 (unaudited, stated in thousands of Canadian dollars) NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) 2.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION In accordance with CICA Handbook section 3870, the Company discloses pro forma net earnings and earnings per share information as if the Company had accounted for employee stock options under the fair value method. Had the Company determined compensation expense based on the fair values at grant dates of the stock options consistent with the fair value method, the Company's earnings per share would have been reported as the pro forma amounts indicated below. The pro forma disclosure omits the effects of awards granted before fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2002. Three months ended March 31, 2003 Net earnings, as reported $ 10,930 Stock-based compensation expense 550 ---------- Pro forma net earnings $ 10,380 ========== Basic earnings per share, as reported $ 0.20 Effect of stock-based compensation expense 0.01 ---------- Pro forma basic earnings per share $ 0.19 ========== Diluted earnings per share, as reported $ 0.20 Effect of stock-based compensation expense 0.01 ---------- Pro forma diluted earnings per share $ 0.19 ========== No options were granted by the Company during the quarter ended March 31, 2003. Also, no options were granted by the Company during the quarter ended March 31, 2002 and as a result, comparative fair value disclosures have not been provided. The weighted average estimated fair value at the date of the grant for options granted during the year ended December 31, 2002 was $5.28 per share. The fair value of each option granted during 2002 was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes fair value option pricing model with the following assumptions: cinram 11 2003 (unaudited, stated in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share information) Risk-free interest rate 4.0% Dividend yield 0.768% Volatility factor of the future expected market price of common shares 60% Weighted average expected life of the options 5 years The weighted average estimated fair value at the date of the grant for options granted during the year ended December 31, 2002 was $5.28 per share.

SEGMENTED INFORMATION: The Company has two reportable business segments, being audio/ROM replication/duplication and home video replication/duplication. The audio/ROM replication/duplication segment manufactures audio cassettes, CDs and CD-ROMs and the home video replication/duplication segment manufactures video cassettes and DVDs.
