DURA Automotive Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:DRRA), today
reported revenues of $535.9 million for the third quarter ended
October 2, 2005, compared to $616.4 million in the prior-year quarter.
Net loss for the quarter was $6.6 million, or $0.35 per diluted share,
compared to net loss of $2.7 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, in
the prior-year quarter. DURA's adjusted loss from continuing
operations for the quarter, which excludes facility consolidation
charges and minority interest totaled $5.2 million, or $0.28 per
diluted share, compared to income of $0.9 million, or $0.05 per
diluted share, in the prior-year quarter.
"As industry conditions continue to soften, we have taken
significant actions to improve our liquidity and further accelerate
cost reductions. However, we are not satisfied with our results," said
Larry Denton, president and chief executive officer of DURA
Automotive. "During these difficult times, we have not sacrificed our
commitments to our customers and growing our business organically. The
company's management team remains dedicated to returning DURA to
profitability."
The decrease in third-quarter revenue from the prior year was
driven primarily by lower North American automotive production by the
domestic OEMs, lower European automotive volumes, lower RV production
and five fewer business days. Partially offsetting these decreases was
the benefit received from foreign currency exchange. The decrease in
third-quarter income from continuing operations from the prior year
reflects the impact of lower overall production levels and five fewer
business days.
The facility consolidation charge for the quarter relates to the
previously announced headcount reductions associated with DURA's plan
to migrate to one enterprise resource planning system and the
continuation of the previously announced actions in the U.S. and
Germany. The third quarter's facility consolidation charge before
taxes of $1.9 million primarily represents employee severance costs.
Nine-Month Results
For the nine-month period ended October 2, 2005, revenue totaled
$1.8 billion compared to $1.9 billion for the same period in 2004. Net
loss for the nine-month period was $8.5 million, or $0.45 per diluted
share, compared to net income of $9.8 million, or $0.52 per diluted
share, in the prior year. DURA's adjusted loss from continuing
operations for the nine months ended October 2, 2005, which excludes
facility consolidation and other charges, a loss on the early
extinguishment of debt, the favorable resolution of an environmental
matter and minority interest, totaled $7.3 million, or $0.39 per
diluted share, as compared to adjusted income from continuing
operations of $23.4 million, or $1.24 per diluted share, in the same
period last year.
2005 Full-Year Outlook
For the full-year, our automotive industry production planning
assumptions are 15.6 million units for North America and 20.0 million
units for Europe. For the full year, revenue is expected to be $2.3 to
$2.4 billion, versus $2.5 billion last year. Adjusted EBITDA is
expected to be between $170 and $180 million. Full-year capital
spending is expected to be approximately $70 million, interest expense
$100 million and depreciation $82 million. We expect net debt to
increase by $20 to $40 million for the year. A reconciliation of
adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is set
forth below.

scheduled for October 27, 2005, at 11 a.m. EDT. Interested
participants may listen to the live conference call or replay over the

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to the results reported in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") included
throughout this news release, the Company has provided information
regarding "adjusted income from continuing operations" and "adjusted
EBITDA" (non-GAAP financial measures). Adjusted income from continuing
operations represents income from continuing operations adjusted for
facility consolidation and other charges, net, the favorable
resolution of an environmental matter and a loss on early
extinguishment of debt, net. Adjusted EBITDA represents income from
continuing operations adjusted for facility consolidation and other
charges, a loss on early extinguishment of debt, the favorable
resolution of an environmental matter, interest, amortization,
depreciation and taxes. Management believes that adjusted income from
continuing operations and adjusted EBITDA are useful to both
management and investors in their analysis of the Company's ability to
analyze operational performance. Adjusted income from continuing
operations and adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation
or as a substitute for net income or other income statement data
prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure of profitability or
liquidity. Also, adjusted income from continuing operations and
adjusted EBITDA, as determined and presented by the Company, may not
be comparable to related or similarly titled measures reported by
other companies.

subject to risks and uncertainties. These statements often include
words such as "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "intend", "plan",
"estimate", or similar expressions. These statements are based on
certain assumptions that the company has made in light of its
experience in the industry as well as its perspective of historical
trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other

results may differ materially from the anticipated results because of
certain risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to (i)
expected synergies, economies of scale and cost savings from the
company's acquisitions not being fully realized or realized within the
expected times frames; (ii) unanticipated difficulties servicing the
indebtedness of the company; (iii) costs or operational difficulties
related to integrating the operations of the acquired entities with
those of the company being greater than expected; (iv) labor disputes
involving the company or its significant customers; (v) risks
associated with conducting business in foreign countries, and (vi)
