QUARTER EARNINGS</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Dublin, CA &#151; Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) announced
today that its 2003 second quarter net sales increased 18.0% to $146,460,792 as
compared to net sales of $124,150,330 for the second quarter of 2002. Net
income increased 18.7% to $17,681,608 for the second quarter of 2003 as
compared to net income of $14,891,601 for the second quarter of 2002. Diluted
net income per common share was $0.71 for the second quarter of 2003 as
compared to $0.60 for the second quarter of 2002. For the first half of 2003,
net sales increased 16.1% to $262,916,972 as compared to net sales of
$226,521,565 for the first half of 2002. Net income increased 16.6% to
$28,706,509 for 2003 as compared to net income of $24,621,541 for 2002. Diluted
net income per common share was $1.15 for the first half of 2003 as compared to
$0.99 for the first half of 2002.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In the second quarter of 2003, sales growth occurred throughout North
America and Europe. The growth in the United States was strongest in the
southern and northeastern regions. Simpson Strong-Tie&#146;s second quarter sales
increased 19.2% over the same quarter last year, while Simpson Dura-Vent&#146;s
sales increased 9.6%. Lumber dealers, homecenters and contractor distributors
were the fastest growing Simpson Strong-Tie connector sales channels. The sales
increase was broad based across most of Simpson Strong-Tie&#146;s major product
lines. Simpson Strong-Tie&#146;s engineered wood products and seismic and high wind
related products had the highest percentage growth rates in sales. Sales of
Simpson Dura-Vent&#146;s Direct-Vent and gas vent products increased compared to the
second quarter of 2002 while sales of its pellet vent and chimney product lines
were flat. The customer that had informed Simpson Dura-Vent last year that it
planned to supply certain venting products from internal sources is expected to
continue buying these products from Simpson Dura-Vent through the third quarter
of 2003. Sales of the affected products to this customer decreased slightly in
the first half of 2003 as compared to the first half of 2002.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Income from operations increased 16.6% from $24,795,028 in the second
quarter of 2002 to $28,906,286 in the second quarter of 2003 and gross margins
were unchanged at 41.6%. Selling expenses increased 11.2% from $11,133,905 in
the second quarter of 2002 to $12,383,934 in the second quarter of 2003,
primarily due to increased costs associated with the addition of sales
personnel and advertising and promotional activities. General and
administrative expenses increased 24.8% from $15,711,585 in the second quarter
of 2002 to $19,601,051 in the second quarter of 2003. This increase was
primarily due to increased cash profit sharing, as a result of higher operating
income, higher bad debt expense including the reversal of the allowance for
doubtful accounts in 2002 related to a significant customer. The increase was
also partially due to the recognition of stock option expenses in accordance
with recently adopted accounting standards. The tax rate was 39.1% in the
second quarter of 2003, down from 40.5% in the second quarter of 2002. The
decrease was primarily due to tax credits for research and development and
manufacturing investment related to the expansion of the Company&#146;s facilities
in Stockton, California.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In the first half of 2003, sales growth occurred throughout North
America and Europe. The growth in the United States was strongest in the
southern and western regions. Simpson Strong-Tie&#146;s first half sales increased
17.7% over the same period last year, while Simpson Dura-Vent&#146;s sales increased
5.8%. Lumber dealers, homecenters and contractor distributors were the fastest
growing Simpson Strong-Tie connector sales channels. The sales increase was

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Income from operations increased 15.7% from $40,964,841 in the first
half of 2002 to $47,391,431 in the first half of 2003 and gross margins
increased from 40.1% in the first half of 2002 to 40.5% in the first half of
2003. The increase in gross margins was primarily due to improved absorption of
fixed overhead costs offset somewhat by increased material costs. Selling
expenses increased 10.4% from $21,663,264 in the first half of 2002 to
$23,910,643 in the first half of 2003, primarily due to increased costs
associated with the addition of sales personnel and advertising and promotional
activities. General and administrative expenses increased 24.8% from
$28,205,969 in the first half of 2002 to $35,199,776 in the first half of 2003.
This increase was primarily due to increased cash profit sharing, as a result
of higher operating income, higher bad debt expense including the reversal of
the allowance for doubtful accounts in 2002 related to a significant customer.
The increase was also partially due to the recognition of stock option expenses
in accordance with recently adopted accounting standards and increased
professional fees.&#160; The tax rate was
39.7% in the first half of 2003, down from 40.6% in the second half of 2002.
The decrease was primarily due to tax credits for research and development and
