FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PGT Reports Second Quarter and First Half 2007 Results

VENICE, FL, August 1, 2007 —PGT, Inc. (NASDAQ:     PGTI), the leading U.S. manufacturer and supplier of residential impact-resistant windows and doors, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2007.

“During the second quarter of 2007, we continued to execute our strategy of gaining market share and controlling costs during the current housing downturn. Compared to the second quarter of 2006, the industry experienced a decline in housing permits of 46% in the second quarter of 2007 while our revenues declined 26.7%. We also introduced several new products in the second quarter designed to spur revenue growth in new and existing markets.” said Rod Hershberger, PGT’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “In addition, we have improved our operating leverage from previous cost structure adjustments made in response to the downturn resulting in an adjusted EBITDA as a percent of sales of 14.9%.”

Second Quarter 2007 Financial Results

(See accompanying financial schedules for full financial details and reconciliations of adjusted (non-GAAP) financial measures to their GAAP equivalents.)

§	Total revenues for the second quarter were $79.7 million, an increase of $7.0 million or 9.6% over the first quarter of 2007, and a decrease of 26.7% or $29.0 million versus the same period in 2006. The decrease from 2006 is largely due to the market conditions described above which impacted most of our product lines.
§	Gross margin percentage was 36.4%, compared to 43.3% in the same quarter of 2006. Gross margin decreased as a result of declining operating leverage due to lower overall sales volumes and an increase in aluminum costs.
§	SG&A spending decreased by $2.1 million from the prior year quarter mainly due to lower distribution costs associated with lower sales volumes and lower management fees, offset by an impairment charge on the Lexington facility in North Carolina currently held for sale.
§	Second quarter net income was $2.8 million compared to $10.0 million for the same period in 2006. On an adjusted basis, second quarter net income was $3.3 million versus $13.0 million in the same quarter of 2006.
§	Diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the second quarter of 2007 were 28,321,461 compared to 18,173,432 for the same quarter last year. The higher share count was mainly due to our IPO, completed in June 2006. Assuming the IPO occurred at the beginning of each of the respective reporting periods, the pro

	forma diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the second quarters of 2007 and 2006 were 28,321,461 and 27,932,643, respectively.
§	Net income per diluted share for the second quarter was $0.10 compared to $0.55 for the comparable period of 2006. On an adjusted basis, net income per pro forma diluted share was $0.12, compared to $0.47 for the prior year period.
§	EBITDA for the second quarter was $11.1 million versus $27.4 million for the comparable period of 2006. On an adjusted basis, EBITDA for the second quarter was $11.9 million versus $28.4 million for the comparable period of 2006.

Commenting on the second quarter results, Jeff Jackson, PGT’s Chief Financial Officer, stated, “Capitalizing on actions taken in the past six months, we continued to control our manufacturing expenses and increased our leverage resulting in an improvement in gross margin of 2.3% over the first quarter of 2007 to 36.4%. We prepaid $5 million of our long term debt in June 2007, in addition to the $20 million prepaid in the first quarter.”

First Half 2007 Financial Results

(See accompanying financial schedules for full financial details and reconciliations of adjusted (non-GAAP) financial measures to their GAAP equivalents.)

§	Total revenues for the first half were $152.4 million, a decrease of 25.7%, versus $205.0 million for the same period in 2006.
§	Gross margin percentage for the first half was 35.3%, compared to 40.3% in the first half of 2006. Gross margin decreased as a result of declining operating leverage due to lower overall sales volumes and an increase in aluminum costs, offset in part by lower overhead spending.
§	SG&A spending decreased by $3.7 million from the first half of 2006 due mainly to lower distribution costs associated with lower sales volumes and lower management fees, offset by an impairment charge on the Lexington facility in North Carolina currently held for sale.
§	First half net income (loss) was $3.6 million compared to $(4.1) million for the same period in 2006. On an adjusted basis, first half net income was $4.1 million versus $19.8 million in the first half of 2006.
§	Diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the first half of 2007 were 28,343,654 compared to 15,950,129 for the comparable period of 2006. Assuming the IPO occurred at the beginning of each of the respective reporting periods, the pro forma diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the second quarters of 2007 and 2006 were 28,343,654 and 27,890,530, respectively.
§	Net income (loss) per diluted share for the first half was $0.13 compared to $(0.25) for the comparable period of 2006. On an adjusted basis, net income per pro forma diluted share was $0.14, compared to $0.71 for the prior year period.
§	EBITDA for the first half was $19.4 million versus $18.6 million for the comparable period of 2006. On an adjusted basis, EBITDA for the first half was $20.2 million versus $47.0 million for the comparable period of 2006.
