EXHIBIT 99.1 For Immediate Release For more information contact: Wednesday, April 27, 2005 Frank T. Kane, Vice President & CFO Chromcraft Revington, Inc. Reports 2005 First Quarter Results Delphi, Indiana, April 27, 2005 - Chromcraft Revington, Inc. (AMEX:CRC) today reported net earnings for the three months ended April 2, 2005 of $2,256,000, or $.53 per share on a diluted basis, as compared to $1,493,000, or $.36 per share on a diluted basis, for the same period last year. Sales for the first quarter decreased 3.9% to $44,659,000 from $46,467,000 in the year earlier quarter. As previously reported, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $1,100,000, or $.16 per share after-tax, in the first quarter of 2004 to reflect a minimum annual supplemental retirement benefit payable to Michael E. Thomas, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. The charge resulted from an amendment to Mr. Thomas' employment and supplemental retirement agreements with the Company. Excluding this charge, diluted earnings per share for the current quarter were at approximately the same level as compared to the first quarter of 2004. Commenting on first quarter results, Thomas said that the sales decrease from the first quarter of last year was the result of lower shipments of dining room, occasional and bedroom furniture partially offset by higher shipments of upholstered and commercial furniture. The sales decline was primarily due to foreign import competition. Thomas said that the upholstered furniture sales increase was primarily due to new product introductions. Thomas pointed out that the Company's balance sheet remained strong at quarter-end with bank indebtedness representing 6.8% of total capitalization. Looking forward, Thomas noted that incoming orders are running slightly behind the year ago level. Chromcraft Revington designs, manufactures and sells residential and commercial furniture throughout the United States under the "Chromcraft," "Peters-Revington," "Silver Furniture," "Cochrane Furniture" and "Sumter Cabinet" brand names.
