Edelbrock Corp. Revises Earnings and Earnings Per Share as Reported in Its September 10, 2004 Press Release

TORRANCE, Calif.--Sept. 28, 2004--Edelbrock Corporation today announced that it has revised its earnings for the quarter ending June 30, 2004 as previously reported on September 10, 2004. The revised results will be reflected in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K to be filed on September 28, 2004.

Subsequent to the issuance of its September 10, 2004 press release, the company received documentation from its workers' compensation carrier and determined that there was a liability of approximately $490,000 relating to its workers' compensation insurance that is maintained on a retrospective basis. In addition, the company increased its federal and state taxes on income to reflect the non-deductibility of certain going-private transaction costs which increased the company's effective tax rate from 37.5 percent to 40.6 percent. The impact of the adjustments resulted in a change to previously reported earnings for the year ended June 30, 2004 from $3,979,000, or $0.72 per diluted share, to $3,494,000, or $0.63 per diluted share, and a change to previously reported earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 from $1,320,000, or $0.24 per diluted share, to $835,000, or $0.15 per diluted share.
