SANTA FE SPRINGS, Calif., March 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Reinhold Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:RNHDA) of Santa Fe Springs, California, today announced results for the fourth quarter and full year 2005. Comparative 2004 results are presented to reflect the Samuel Bingham Enterprises, Inc. ("Bingham") and NP Aerospace Ltd. ("NPA") subsidiaries separately from continuing operations.

Sales in the Aerospace business unit decreased by $1.5 million due to the completion of a unique Space Shuttle related program in 2004. Sales for the Seating products business unit increased by $1.0 million due to the addition of a new customer and improving conditions in the aircraft seating marketplace. Sales in the Commercial business unit increased by $0.1 million due primarily to higher selling prices. For the full year 2005, revenues from continuing operations were $32.6 million, up $0.3 million (1%) compared to 2004. Sales in the Aerospace business unit decreased by $1.4 million (6%), sales in the Seating products business unit increased by $1.5 million (32%), and sales in the Commercial business unit increased by $0.2 million (8%) due primarily to the reasons described above. Income from continuing operations before income taxes for the full year 2005 was $4.3 million, down $1.3 million (24%) compared to 2004 due to unfavorable product mix, increased compensation costs and higher audit and tax compliance fees. The effective tax rate for the full year 2005 was 28% compared to 58% in 2004 due primarily to the utilization of foreign tax credits. Income from discontinued operations for the full year 2005 was $30.3 million compared to a loss of $1.3 million in 2004 due primarily to the net gain on the sale of NP Aerospace to The Carlyle Group on November 21, 2005. Net income for the full year 2005 was $33.3 million, or $10.20 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.1 million, or $0.35 per diluted share in 2004.
