Repair Business in Minneapolis, Minnesota</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">SIFCO Industries, Inc. (the &#147;Company&#148;) announced today that it will explore strategic alternatives
for its small aerospace turbine engine component repair business located in Minneapolis, Minnesota
for the purpose of enhancing shareholder value.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Jeffrey P. Gotschall, Chief Executive Officer said, &#147;after the Company&#146;s divestiture of its large
aerospace and industrial turbine engine component repair businesses in fiscal 2006 and 2007,
respectively, senior management and the Board of Directors have determined that the business of
turbine engine component repair was no longer core to the Company&#146;s strategic outlook. As a single
location, independent turbine engine component repair operation that is not also in the business of
engine overhaul/management, this business continues to face challenging market conditions.
Therefore, our Board of Directors has concluded that it is in the best interests of the Company&#146;s
shareholders to conduct an orderly and comprehensive review and evaluation of strategic
alternatives available to us, including a divestiture of this business.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">There can be no assurance that strategic alternatives will be available or that the Company will
elect to consummate any such alternatives. The Company does not intend to provide updates or make
any further comment until the outcome of the process is determined and/or until there are
significant developments.
</DIV>
