CHATTANOOGA, Tennessee, August 6, 2008 – Miller Industries, Inc. (NYSE: MLR) (the “Company”) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008.

For the second quarter of 2008, net sales were $74.7 million, compared with $108.8 million in the second quarter of 2007.  Net income in the second quarter of 2008 was $1.0 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to net income of $4.9 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, in the prior year.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2008 was $8.3 million, or 11.1% of net sales, compared with $15.7 million, or 14.5% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2007.

Interest expense in the second quarter of 2008 decreased to $338,000 from $882,000 in the second quarter of 2007 primarily due to lower debt levels, as well as lower interest rates.  Total senior and junior debt at June 30, 2008 was approximately $2.8 million, down from $3.5 million at December 31, 2007, and $4.2 million at June 30, 2007.

MILLER INDUSTRIES REPORTS 2008 SECOND QUARTER RESULTS PAGE 2

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, net sales were $142.3 million compared to $222.8 million in the prior year period.  The Company reported net income of $2.0 million, or $0.17 per diluted share for the first half of 2008, compared to net income for the first half of 2007 of $10.3 million, or $0.88 per diluted share.

Jeffrey I. Badgley, President and Co-CEO of the Company stated, “Our 2008 second quarter results reflect the continuing effects of a softer economic environment. Our performance also reflects the absence of some significant government-related contracts that we completed in the first half of last year.  While we are pleased to have kept our operating costs generally in line with production levels, rising raw material prices for steel, aluminum and petroleum-related products have continued to put pressure on our cost base. In order to offset these increases, we took pricing actions in the second quarter which should help mitigate raw material price increases for the remainder of the year.”

Mr. Badgley concluded, “Demand from our customers continues to be impacted by high fuel costs and economic uncertainties and we expect market conditions in the U.S. to remain very soft for the second half of 2008.  During the quarter, we secured export and government orders at levels which we expect will allow us to maintain current production levels for the remainder of the year.  We have done a good job of cost management to date and will continue to focus on this throughout the remainder of the year. Through the steps that we have taken to improve our financial strength, enhance our operating efficiency and invest in innovation, we believe that we are well positioned for the eventual turnaround in our markets.”

In conjunction with this release, the Company will host a conference call, which will be simultaneously broadcast live over the Internet.  Management will host the call, which is scheduled for tomorrow, August 7, 2008, at 10:00 AM ET.  Listeners can access the conference call live and archived over the Internet through a link at:
