Mile Marker International, Inc. today announced that its Board of Directors authorized the payment of a quarterly cash dividend of $0.0625 per common share on January 17, 2005 for all shareholders of record as of December 30, 2004.

Richard Aho, President and CEO of Mile Marker International, Inc., said: "As we previously indicated, we are expecting a record year for 2004. While we have not finalized our 2004 financial results, it appears that our 2004 sales may be approximately 70% higher than our sales in 2003 and that our 2004 net income may be approximately 170% greater than our net income after tax reported in 2003. During 2004, the Company met its goal of sharing its earnings between dividends to shareholders and funding future growth. Based on the Company's record performance in 2004 and its expected continued strong performance in 2005, the Company's Board of Directors has decided it would be appropriate to raise the Company's quarterly dividend by 25% in the first quarter of 2005. This increased dividend represents an annualized yield of 7.6% based on the Company's current share price of $3.30."
