Exhibit 99.1

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CAVCO INDUSTRIES REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS
Net sales $34.2 million
Net income $1.3 million

PHOENIX — (May 1, 2008) – Cavco Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: CVCO) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2008 ended March 31, 2008.

Net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 totaled $34,204,000, up 1% from $33,812,000 for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007.

Net income for the fiscal 2008 fourth quarter of $1,303,000 was 26% below the $1,759,000 reported in the same quarter one year ago. Net income per share based on basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding was $0.20, versus $0.28 and $0.27, respectively last year.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, net sales decreased 16% to $141,914,000 from $169,114,000 for fiscal year 2007, and net income declined 45% to $6,312,000 from $11,549,000 last year. For fiscal 2008, net income per share based on basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding was $0.98 and $0.95, respectively, versus $1.81 and $1.74, respectively for the year-earlier period.

“Our fourth quarter results were adversely impacted by continued declines in industry shipments of factory built homes, particularly in our core markets of Arizona and California. In view of the state of the housing industry and the general economy, we are proud that our people produced profitable financial results and that we achieved some success in market share improvement and expanded distribution,” stated Joseph Stegmayer, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cavco Industries, Inc.

“Amid the uncertain U.S. economic outlook, it is not possible to predict the conditions we may face in the months ahead. We do believe, however, that the affordable housing we build should play an increasing role in serving our nation’s housing needs given the tighter credit markets and the absence of the aggressive mortgage financing of recent years that enabled a disproportionate number of buyers to consider more expensive homes,” Mr. Stegmayer continued.

“Meanwhile, Cavco’s strong financial condition provides us the flexibility to consider various ways to position ourselves for increased growth opportunities as market conditions improve. At March 31, 2008 cash and cash equivalents were $73.6 million and we had no short or long-term debt outstanding,” Mr. Stegmayer concluded.

Cavco’s senior management will hold a conference call to review these results tomorrow, May 2, 2008, at 12:00 noon (Eastern Time). Interested parties can access a live webcast of the conference call on the Internet at www.cavco.com under the Investor Relations link, or the web site www.opencompany.info. An archive of the webcast and presentation will be available for 90 days at these website addresses.
