FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CAVCO INDUSTRIES REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
Sales increase 28% to $45.9 million
Net income increases 107% to $3.5 million

PHOENIX, AZ - (July 20, 2005) – Cavco Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: CVCO) today announced financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 ended June 30, 2005.

          Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 increased 28% to $45,876,000 from $35,937,000 last year.

          Net income for the first quarter this year increased to $3,542,000 compared with net income of $1,707,000 for the same period one year ago. Net income per share for the first quarter this year was $0.56 versus $0.27 last year based on basic weighted average shares outstanding and $0.53 versus $0.26 per share based on diluted weighted average shares.

          Commenting on the results, Joseph Stegmayer, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “This strong start to fiscal year 2006 is encouraging, this was the best first quarter in the Company’s history. We expect the strength to continue in the months ahead and for the balance of the year we anticipate positive year to year sales comparisons, although the percentage increases will be more moderate than we experienced in the first quarter.”

          Mr. Stegmayer concluded, “Overall we look forward to an excellent fiscal 2006 and to a strengthened industry environment in the years ahead. In line with this outlook, we have initiated plans to expand capacity at our two larger production facilities, we are examining ways to expand the capacity and capabilities of our park model / cabin home operations and we recently purchased an idle manufactured housing plant in Texas. While we have no immediate plans for the Texas facility, we saw this as an opportune time to acquire a plant with excellent capabilities on a very attractive basis that could benefit us in the long term. We believe these initiatives will have a positive impact on sales in 2007 and beyond.”

     Cavco’s senior management will hold a conference call to review these results tomorrow, July 21, 2005, at 1:00 p.m. (Eastern Time). Interested parties can access a live webcast of the conference call on the Internet at http://phx.corporate-ir.net/playerlink.zhtml?c=145386&s=wm&e=1101267. An archive of the webcast and presentation will be available for 90 days at this website.

     Cavco Industries, Inc., headquartered in Phoenix, is the largest producer of manufactured homes in Arizona, based on wholesale shipments. The Company is also a leading producer of park model homes and vacation cabins in the United States.
