                    Sypris Lowers Earnings Outlook

                       Cash Flow Remains Strong


    LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 17, 2006--Sypris Solutions,
Inc. (Nasdaq/NM:SYPR) today reported that it is lowering its financial
outlook for the third quarter. The Company now expects to report a
loss for the third quarter in the range of $0.04 to $0.05 per diluted
share compared to prior guidance for earnings of $0.03 to $0.06 per
diluted share. Revenue for the third quarter is expected to be in the
range of $125 to $127 million, below prior guidance of $138 to $143
million. Free cash flow is expected to be $9 to $11 million, exceeding
prior guidance of $0 to $5 million.

    "Our Industrial Group experienced a 39% reduction in orders for
component shipments to the Ford Motor Company during the third
quarter, the result of which had a material impact on the Company's
revenue and income for the period," said Jeffrey T. Gill, President
and Chief Executive Officer. "Unfortunately, the rightsizing of our
workforces in each of the plants impacted by the change required much
of the quarter to complete, further compressing the group's short-term
margins. The outlook for the balance of the year appears to be stable
for the moment."

    Gill continued, "The lower than expected revenue and margins for
the quarter were also driven by our Electronics Group, which generated
lower sales primarily due to a reduction in the initial rate of
production for the launch of a new classified program. The short-term
change in schedules was necessitated to incorporate several new
important design modifications earlier in the product's life cycle. We
now expect to reach full rates of production early in 2007."

    "Despite these headwinds, the Company continued to generate
significant free cash flow of approximately $10 million, resulting in
$35 million of free cash flow on a year to date basis. As a result,
the Company's balance sheet remains a source of strength, with net
debt representing less than 14% of total capital. As we go forward, we
will continue to evaluate opportunities to use this strength to
improve margins and increase the Company's market share."

    Each "forward-looking statement" herein is subject to serious
risks and should not be relied upon, as detailed in our most recent
Form 10-K and Form 10-Q and subsequent SEC filings. Briefly, we
currently believe that such risks also include: cost and availability
of raw materials such as steel, components, freight, natural gas or
utilities; cost and inefficiencies associated with increasing our
manufacturing capacity and launching new programs; stability and
predictability of our costs and margins or our customers' forecasts,
financial conditions, late payments, low-margin product mix, market

associated with breakdowns or repairs of machinery and equipment;
growth beyond our productive capacity, cyclical or other downturns,
adverse impacts of new technologies or other competitive pressures
which erode our margins; cost, efficiency and yield of our operations
including capital investments, working capital, scrap rates, cycle
times, injuries, self-insured risks, wages, freight, production
schedules, overtime costs, expediting costs or scrap rates; failure to
make strategic acquisitions or to integrate and improve results of
acquired businesses or to identify and adequately insure environmental
or other risks in due diligence; inventory valuation risks due to
obsolescence, shrinkage, theft, price, overstocking or underbilling;
changes in government funded or other customer programs; reliance on
major customers or suppliers, especially in the automotive sector
where bankruptcies (such as Dana Corporation's recent filing) could
result in the rejection or modification of our contracts; revised
contract prices or estimates of major contract costs; dependence on,
recruitment or retention of management or other key employees; union
negotiations; pension valuation, health care or other benefit costs;
labor relations; strikes; risks of foreign operations; currency
exchange rates; costs and supply of debt, equity capital, or insurance
due to poor operating or financial results, new business risks, credit
ratings, debt covenant violations, contract claims, insurance
conditions or regulatory developments; impairments or write-offs of
goodwill or fixed assets; changes in licenses, security clearances, or
other legal rights to operate, manage our work force or import and
export as needed; weaknesses in internal controls; costs of compliance
with auditing, regulatory or contractual obligations; regulatory
actions or sanctions; disputes or litigation, involving customer,
supplier, creditor, stockholder, product liability or environmental
claims; war, terrorism or political uncertainty; unanticipated or
uninsured disasters, losses or business risks; inaccurate data about
