Press Release

Trex Company, Inc. (NYSE:TWP), manufacturer of Trex(R) Easy Care Decking(R), today announced financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1999.

Revenues for the 1999 third quarter increased 65% to $20.0 million compared to $12.1 million in the third quarter of 1998. Income from operations for the 1999 third quarter increased 191% to $6.7 million from $2.3 million. Net income for the third quarter increased 140% to $4.1 million from $1.7 million for the 1998 third quarter. Supplemental pro forma net income for the 1999 third quarter increased 170% to $4.0 million, or $0.29 per share, compared to supplemental pro forma net income of $1.5 million, or $0.11 per share, for the 1998 third quarter.

Revenues for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999 increased 50% to $62.1 million compared to $41.4 million for the comparable period of 1998. Income from operations in the 1999 nine-month period increased 68% to $19.7 million from $11.7 million. Supplemental pro forma net income for the 1999 nine-month period increased 61% to $11.9 million, or $0.84 per share, compared to supplemental pro forma net income of $7.4 million, or $0.52 per share, for the 1998 nine-month period.

The Company completed a reorganization on April 7, 1999 and its initial public offering of common stock on April 13, 1999 and incurred related, one-time charges of $2.6 million for deferred taxes and $1.1 million for the early extinguishment of debt. Net income for the 1999 nine-month period including these charges was $10.7 million compared to $9.8 million for the first nine months of 1998.

Consistent with Trex's strategy to continue development of brand identity, advertising and promotional expenditures increased by approximately 58% during the 1999 third quarter compared to the third quarter of 1998. Selling, general and administrative expenses including the branding activities increased by 21% to $3.9 million compared to the 1998 third quarter. In addition to the higher advertising and promotional expenditures, the SG&A increase is attributable to expenses incurred to support the expansion of the Company's business and the establishment of a second manufacturing site in Fernley, Nevada.

Robert Matheny, President, stated, "We are very pleased with our performance for the quarter, which reflected a very high level of enthusiasm for our product. Resulting from our aggressive brand building campaign and high quality product consumers continue to embrace Trex. For example, visits to our web site increased approximately 700% and consumer inquiry calls to 800-BUY-TREX increased 135% versus all of last year. Because of this strong consumer demand we continue to provide product on allocation and currently have a list of several hundred dealers who would like to sell our product."

"At the beginning of the quarter, we began initial shipments from the first two production lines at our new facility in Fernley, Nevada. These lines were originally targeted for completion in September, but we were able to begin production 60 days early. We are currently building lines three and four and remain on track to have those running in the first quarter of next year."

Mr. Matheny continued, "We also continue to see significant endorsement for our product in the media. For example, Consumer Reports Television produced a feature on Trex that was aired in 22 major television markets in the U.S. Many of these stations customized the report featuring show case installations in their area, such as the Presidential Trail at Mount Rushmore, the Spring Lake Boardwalk in Spring Lake, N.J., the Western Beaches in Toronto and the Carson Beach Boardwalk in Boston, MA. Additionally, Michael Holigan's Your New House, the top rated show on The Discovery Channel, will be featuring Trex decking on two upcoming shows, November 8th and 9th. The segments will feature a plant tour, a deck remodeling with Trex decking replacing a pressure treated deck, and the building of a Trex stair case and railings."

Trex Company is the nation's largest manufacturer of non-wood decking alternative products, which are marketed under the brand name Trex(R). Trex is a Wood-Polymer(TM) Lumber that offers an attractive appearance and the workability of wood without the ongoing need for protective sealants or repairs.
