Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by this reference is the
text of the registrant's press release which was issued on March 26, 2003.
Exhibit 99.2 is a GenCorp Inc. press release dated March 26, 2003 in which
GenCorp reported net income for the first quarter of 2003 of $3 million ($0.07
per diluted share) unchanged from the first quarter of 2002. Sales for the
quarter increased to $271 million from $249 million in the prior year reflecting
increases at both its Aerospace and Defense and Fine Chemicals businesses. Net
income did not increase commensurate with sales year-over-year due primarily to
a $10 million reduction of pre-tax income from employee retirement benefit
plans.
