WINCHESTER, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 26, 2007--Trex Company, Inc. (NYSE: TWP) today announced that, to correct certain errors, it will restate the Company's financial results, including quarterly results, for its fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 through 2005 and its quarterly results for the first nine months of fiscal 2006.

The Company expects that the restatements will have the cumulative effect of increasing the Company's reported net income for fiscal 2003 through 2005 by approximately $0.2 million. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004, the Company's reported net income is expected to increase by approximately $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, or $0.01 and $0.02 per diluted share, respectively. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, the Company's reported net income is expected to decrease by approximately $0.02 million, or $0.02 per diluted share. The Company's previously reported net income for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005 was $21.0 million, $27.2 million and $2.5 million, respectively. The Company estimates that the restatements will also have the effect of increasing its reported net income of $15.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2006 by approximately $0.2 million, or $0.02 per diluted share.

The restatements will reflect the correction of errors related to the recording of certain expenses in cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses, and interest expense. The restatements will not affect the Company's reported revenue. The errors did not have a material impact on any balance sheet accounts as of the end of any of the affected fiscal periods.

Additional information about the restatement of the Company's financial results for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 through 2005 and the first nine months of fiscal 2006 will be contained in the Company's current report on Form 8-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Until the restatements are completed, the Company cautions that its historical financial statements for the affected fiscal periods should not be relied upon.
