TSX: DII.B, DII.A

MONTREAL, March 6, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - Dorel Industries Inc. (TSX: DII.B DII.A) today announced results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 30, 2012. Revenue for the fourth quarter increased 10.9% to US$622.6 million from US$561.6 million a year ago. Net income was up 6.4% to US$29.1 million or US$0.91 per diluted share from US$27.4 million, or US$0.85 per diluted share in 2011.

Revenue for the full year reached US$2.5 billion, up 5.3% from last year's US$2.4 billion. Net income was US$108.6 million or US$3.39 per diluted share, up from US$104.6 million or US$3.21 per diluted share a year ago, increases of 3.8% and 5.6% respectively.

Net income in both 2012 and 2011 benefitted from a reduction in corporate general and administrative expenses on non-cash gains related to contingent consideration and put option liabilities in connection with prior business acquisitions. In the fourth quarter of 2012 this gain was US$2.0 million while in 2011 it amounted to US$11.1 million. For the full year, these amounts were US$3.5 million in 2012 and US$12.2 million in 2011.  Excluding these non-cash, non-taxable gains, net income in the fourth quarter of 2012 was US$27.1 million versus US$16.3 million in 2011, an increase of 66%. For the full year, excluding the gain amount, net income was US$105.1 million in 2012 versus US$92.4 million in 2011, a 13.7% improvement.

"We made substantial progress through 2012, particularly in light of the lingering tough economy," said Dorel President and CEO, Martin Schwartz. "The Juvenile segment's operating profits increased due to improved earnings at Dorel Juvenile Group (DJG) USA and at Dorel Europe, even in the face of a fragile financial environment abroad. Dorel's Latin American operations were significant contributors to the segment's improved operating profit and our investments there continue to pay handsome dividends. Dorel Chile had an outstanding fourth quarter, buoyed by strong retail sales at our 70 stores. Brazil is recovering from a difficult year in 2011 and Dorel Colombia, with its first quarter as part of the Company, also delivered sound results.

"Driven by double digit growth in sales of Dorel's premium Cannondale brand, the Recreational/Leisure segment's full-year revenue surpassed US$900 million. Fourth quarter revenue increased markedly due to the ability to ship more product and strong sales of electric ride-on toys. We have proven we can do a good job in the bike business and the growth trend we have established during the last couple of years clearly underlines this. Home Furnishings, as expected, experienced slightly lower margins, reducing operating profits in that segment," concluded Mr. Schwartz.

Operating profit	73,313	7.0%	53,851	5.5%	36.1%

Fourth quarter
The fourth quarter revenue increase of 11.6% includes two additional months of sales at Dorel Chile, acquired in December 2011 and the results for Colombia / Panama, acquired at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2012. Excluding these additions and the impact of foreign exchange, the organic revenue increase was approximately 2%. The operating profit improvement of 79.4% versus 2011 was driven principally by the contribution of the segment's Latin American units. This includes an improved performance at Dorel Brazil, as well as a strong quarter for Dorel Chile.

Full year
Full year revenues increased from 2011 by US$60.6 million or 6.2%. This was the result of acquisitions and the impact of foreign exchange. Year-over-year operating profit increased significantly with a 36% improvement. In addition, the segment's U.S. and European businesses both posted improved earnings, benefitting from a more stable cost environment in 2012.

Fourth quarter
Fourth quarter revenues increased approximately 12%, with all of the growth being organic. The Independent Bicycle Dealer (IBD) channel drove the increase with strong pre-season sales of model year 2013 bicycles. Improved mix and cost containment were the principal reasons for the increase in operating profit of 41.8%. The continuing turnaround at SUGOI resulted in a modestly profitable quarter, a sharp reversal from the loss during the fourth quarter a year ago.

Full year
Revenues rose 7.7% to US$928.4 million compared to US$861.8 million a year ago. After removing the impact of foreign exchange, organic sales increased approximately 10%, marking the second consecutive year of 10% organic growth. The gain was in both the IBD and the mass merchant distribution channels, driven by new products and strong marketing of the segment's brands. The operating profit increase of 18.6% was driven by a focus on increased sales and gross margin expansion. To support this growth, the segment continues to invest in marketing and infrastructure to support the objectives of building this segment into the premier bicycle company in the market.

The growth in the IBD channel was in the majority of its markets. In the mass channel, bicycle sales were complemented by strong growth in the electric ride-on category.

Operating profit	25,593	4.9%	29,251	5.6%	-12.5%

Fourth quarter
Fourth quarter revenues increased by 7.5% due to higher sales of imported furniture items, mattresses and futons. The sales growth continues to be driven by growing sales to the Internet channel. Operating profit declined as the result of higher overhead costs and a less profitable sales mix at certain of the segment's divisions.

Full year
Revenues for the year were basically flat at US$521.5 million. As in the prior year, sales decreases of metal folding furniture were offset by the sales growth of imported furniture, principally in the futon, mattress, bunk bed and upholstered item categories. Operating profit decreased by 12.5% as gross margins declined. While the segment did benefit from more stable input costs in 2012 versus 2011, this was offset by a less profitable mix of sales. The Canadian dollar remained strong against its U.S. counterpart which pressures margins as two of the segment's plants are based in Canada and ship the majority of their products to the U.S.

Other
In 2012 the Company's effective tax rate was 16.3% as compared to 8.1% in 2011. An income tax recovery of US$6.8 million was recorded in 2011 due to the realization of a tax benefit in the Netherlands where the Juvenile segment's product research and development (R&D) program qualified for the Dutch government's "Innovation Box" program. Excluding this benefit the tax rate in 2011 would have been 14.1%, more in line with the 2012 results.

Statement of Financial Position and Cash flow
Compared to December 30, 2011 levels, the most significant variation on the Company's Statement of Financial Position was the increase in inventory from US$442.4 million at year end 2011 to US$501.7 million as at December 30, 2012. This increase was anticipated as last year a lack of inventory at certain divisions had a negative impact on customer service levels. In addition, the Dorel Colombia acquisition and the growth of sales through the Internet distribution channel have necessitated a wider number of models to be held in sufficient quantities to adequately service customers, thus requiring a higher overall inventory level. The Company believes there is some opportunity to decrease inventory levels slightly, but the decrease will not be significant. Principally for this reason, cash flow provided by operating activities for the year was US$107.2 million compared to US$162.5 million recorded in 2011, a decrease of US$55.3 million.

Outlook
"For the 2013 year we expect to achieve overall growth in both revenues and net income through both market expansion and by continuing to invest in new products and brand support. Specifically in Recreational / Leisure we believe the success of our new product development and marketing in 2012 will continue into 2013. In Juvenile, the majority of our 2013 improvement will come from Latin America. We have made strategic investments over the past few years and expect growth there to outpace our traditional markets. Our products and brands have considerable untapped potential in markets such as Latin America and Asia and we feel these geographies will play a large role in our growth strategy. We will also continue to invest in our North American and European businesses to ensure we remain market leaders. In Home Furnishings, growth prospects are more modest as the segment is based only in North America and brand differentiation is not a competitive advantage; however we are focused on and further capitalizing upon the growth in the Internet retail channel," commented Mr. Schwartz.

"The Company is experiencing a slower start in 2013 than in 2012. We had a strong first quarter of 2012 and the timing of deliveries thus far in 2013 has had the impact of lowering our expectations for the first quarter.  As such, we anticipate being below prior year levels. However, as some of this is a timing issue, we remain confident of an improved 2013 overall. Further we remain open to acquisitions to complement our current businesses", concluded Mr. Schwartz.

Caution Regarding Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements included in this press release may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation.  Except as may be required by Canadian securities laws, Dorel does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Forward-looking statements, by their very nature, are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties and are based on several assumptions which give rise to the possibility that actual results could differ materially from Dorel's expectations expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements and that the objectives, plans, strategic priorities and business outlook may not be achieved. As a result, Dorel cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will materialize. Forward-looking statements are provided in this press release for the purpose of giving information about Management's current expectations and plans and allowing investors and others to get a better understanding of Dorel's operating environment. However, readers are cautioned that it may not be appropriate to use such forward-looking statements for any other purpose.

Forward-looking statements made in this press release are based on a number of assumptions that Dorel believed were reasonable on the day it made the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's expectations expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements include: general economic conditions; changes in product costs and supply channel; foreign currency fluctuations; customer and credit risk including the concentration of revenues with few customers; costs associated with product liability; changes in income tax legislation or the interpretation or application of those rules; the continued ability to develop products and support brand names; changes in the regulatory environment; continued access to capital resources and the related costs of borrowing; changes in assumptions in the valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets and subject to dividends being declared by the Board of Directors, there can be no certainty that Dorel's Dividend Policy will be maintained. These and other risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements are discussed in Dorel's annual MD&A and Annual Information Form filed with the applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities. The risk factors outlined in the previously mentioned documents are specifically incorporated herein by reference.

Dorel cautions readers that the risks described above are not the only ones that could impact it. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to Dorel or that Dorel currently deems to be immaterial may also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.

Except as otherwise indicated, forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any non-recurring or other unusual items or of any dispositions, mergers, acquisitions, other business combinations or other transactions that may be announced or that may occur after the date hereof. The financial impact of these transactions and non-recurring and other unusual items can be complex and depends on the facts particular to each of them. Dorel therefore cannot describe the expected impact in a meaningful way or in the same way Dorel presents known risks affecting the business.
