Mile Marker International, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2005 Results

POMPANO BEACH, Fla.--May 9, 2005--Mile Marker International, Inc. (OTCBB:MMRK), a specialty vehicle parts distributor, today announced its first quarter 2005 financial results.

In its Form 10-QSB filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission today, Mile Marker International, Inc. announced that it earned net income of $1,042,029, or $0.10 per common share, for the first fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2005, based on sales revenues of $7,481,723. During the same period in 2004, the Company reported net income of $1,144,652, or $0.12 per common share, based on sales of $7,004,292.

Richard Aho, President and CEO of Mile Marker International, Inc., said: "We are encouraged by the positive trends we see in our operating results and have faith in the long-term growth prospects for our Company. We understand that our quarterly results will probably continue to be volatile because of the timing of orders under our military contracts. As we have repeatedly stressed, the timing of military orders under our five multi-year military contracts is intermittent, unpredictable and dependant upon government budgetary priorities and considerations. While we have a potential military sales backlog of over $66 million, such sales are incremental to our core commercial product sales. Sales of our commercial products increased by approximately 60% from $3,512,349 in the first quarter of 2004 to $5,633,701 in the same period this year and constituted about 75% of our total sales in the first quarter of 2005. Sales of our unique hydraulic winches to the military were $1,848,022 in the first quarter of 2005 compared to $3,491,943 for the same period in 2004, a decrease of approximately 47%."
