&#151; BASIS OF PRESENTATION
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Encore Wire Corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;) have
been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim
information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule&nbsp;10-01 of Regulation&nbsp;S-X. Accordingly, they
do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, have
been included. All share and per share data in this Quarterly Report have been restated to reflect
the effect of the Company&#146;s 3-for-2 stock split which was effective in August&nbsp;2004. Results of
operations for interim periods presented do not necessarily indicate the results that may be
expected for the entire year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company&#146;s Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2004.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt">NOTE 2
&#151; STOCK BASED EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company has a stock option plan for employees that provides for the granting of stock options.
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation utilizing the intrinsic value method in
accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.&nbsp;25 (APB 25), &#147;Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees&#148; and related interpretations. Accordingly, no compensation expense
is recognized for fixed option plans because the exercise prices of employee stock options equal or
exceed the market prices of the underlying stock on the dates of grant.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In December&nbsp;2004, the FASB issued SFAS No.&nbsp;123R, &#147;Share-Based Payment&#148;. SFAS No.&nbsp;123R is a
revision of SFAS No.&nbsp;123, &#147;Accounting for Stock Based Compensation&#148;, and supersedes APB 25. Among
other items, SFAS 123R eliminates the use of APB 25 and the intrinsic value method of accounting,
and requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards
of equity instruments, based on the grant date fair value of those awards, in the financial
statements. The revised effective date of SFAS 123R is the first annual reporting period beginning
after June&nbsp;15, 2005, which is the first quarter of 2006 for calendar year companies, although early
adoption is allowed. SFAS 123R permits companies to adopt its requirements using either a &#147;modified
prospective&#148; method, or a &#147;modified retrospective&#148; method.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company currently utilizes a standard option pricing model (i.e., Black-Scholes) to measure the
fair value of stock options granted to employees. While SFAS 123R permits entities to continue to
use such a model, the standard also permits the use of
other models. The Company has not yet determined which model it will use to measure the fair value
of employee stock options upon the adoption of SFAS 123R.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each year
based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must
necessarily be based on management&#146;s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs.
Because these are subject to many forces beyond management&#146;s control, interim results are subject
to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt">NOTE 5 &#151; LONG TERM NOTE PAYABLE
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Effective August&nbsp;27, 2004, the Company through its indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary, Encore Wire
Limited, a Texas Limited partnership (&#147;Encore Wire Limited&#148;), refinanced its unsecured loan
facility with two banks (the &#147;Financing Agreement&#148;) and also arranged for a private placement of
debt (the &#147;Note Purchase Agreement&#148;). The Company is the guarantor of the indebtedness.
Obligations under the Financing Agreement and the Note Purchase Agreement are the only contractual
obligations or commercial borrowing commitments of the Company and Encore Wire Limited. The term
of the Financing Agreement extends through August&nbsp;27, 2009. The Financing Agreement provides for
maximum borrowings of the lesser of $85&nbsp;million or the amount of eligible accounts receivable plus
the amount of eligible finished goods and raw materials, less any reserves established by the
banks. The calculated maximum borrowing amount available at September&nbsp;30, 2005, as computed under
the Financing Agreement, was $85&nbsp;million. The Financing Agreement is with two banks, Bank of
America, N.A., as Agent, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, and replaces the previous
financing agreement that was effective August&nbsp;31, 1999 and had been extended by amendments through
May&nbsp;31, 2007 with a total credit line of $125&nbsp;million.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Concurrent with the Financing Agreement, Encore Wire Limited and the Company, through its agent
bank, entered into the Note Purchase Agreement with Hartford Life Insurance Company, Great-West
Life &#038; Annuity Insurance Company, London Life Insurance Company and London Life and Casualty
Reinsurance Corporation (collectively referred to as the &#147;Purchasers&#148;), whereby Encore Wire Limited
issued and sold $45&nbsp;million of 5.27% Senior Notes, Series&nbsp;2004-A, due August&nbsp;27, 2011 (the &#147;Senior
Notes&#148;) to the Purchasers, the proceeds of which were used to repay a portion of the Company&#146;s
outstanding indebtedness under the previous bank financing agreement. Through its agent bank, the
Company then entered into an interest rate swap agreement to convert the fixed rate on the Senior
Notes to a variable rate based on LIBOR plus a fixed adder for the seven-year duration of these
notes. As of September&nbsp;30, 2005, the Company recorded an unrealized reduction to Notes Payable on
the balance sheet of $355,475 to account for the fair value of the interest rate swap.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Financing Agreement and the Senior Notes are unsecured and contain customary covenants and
events of default. The Company was in compliance with these covenants, as of September&nbsp;30, 2005.
Under the Financing Agreement, the Company is allowed to pay cash dividends. At September&nbsp;30,
2005, the total balance outstanding under the Financing Agreement and the Senior Notes was $84.3
million. Amounts outstanding under the Financing Agreement are payable on August&nbsp;27, 2009, with
interest payments due quarterly. Interest payments on the Senior Notes are due semi-annually.

covering the purchase of up to 450,000 shares of its common stock dependent upon market conditions.
Common stock purchases under this program were authorized through December&nbsp;31, 2002 on the open
market or through privately negotiated transactions at prices determined by the Chairman of the
Board or the President of the Company. As of December&nbsp;31, 2002, 225,300 shares had been purchased

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company is a low-cost manufacturer of copper electrical building wire and cable. The Company
is a significant supplier of residential wire for interior wiring in homes, apartments and
manufactured housing and commercial wire for commercial and industrial buildings.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company&#146;s operating results in any given time period are driven by several key factors,
including; the volume of product produced and shipped, the cost of copper and other raw materials,
the competitive pricing environment in the wire industry and the resulting influence on gross
margins and the efficiency with which the Company&#146;s plant operates during the period, among others.
Price competition for electrical wire and cable is intense, and the Company sells its products in
accordance with prevailing market prices. Copper is the principal raw material used by the Company
in manufacturing its products. Copper accounted for approximately 73.0%, 67.1% and 63.9% of the
Company&#146;s cost of goods sold during fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The price of copper
fluctuates, depending on general economic conditions and in relation to supply and demand and other
factors, which has caused significant variations in the cost of copper purchased by the Company.
The Company cannot predict copper prices in the future or the effect of fluctuations in the cost of
copper on the Company&#146;s future operating results.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The following discussion and analysis relates to factors that have affected the operating results
of the Company for the quarterly and nine-month periods ended September&nbsp;30, 2005 and 2004.
Reference should also be made to the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company&#146;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2004.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Net sales for the third quarter of 2005 amounted to $207.5&nbsp;million compared with net sales of
$158.6&nbsp;million for the third quarter of 2004. This dollar increase was the result of a 31%
increase in the average price of wire sold. The average cost per pound of raw copper purchased
increased in the third quarter of 2005 compared to the third quarter of

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">2004, and was the principal
reason the average sales price for wire increased. Fluctuations in sales prices are primarily a
result of changing copper raw material prices and product price competition. The unit volume of
wire shipped was virtually unchanged in the third quarter of 2005 versus the third quarter of 2004.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Cost of goods sold increased to $176.5&nbsp;million, or 85.1% of net sales, in the third quarter of
2005, compared to $136.9&nbsp;million, or 86.3% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2004. Gross
profit increased to $31.0&nbsp;million, or 14.9% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2005 versus $21.8
million, or 13.7% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2004. The increased gross profit and gross
margin percentages were primarily the result of the higher sales dollars in 2005 absorbing more
fixed costs contained in the cost of sales category.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, using the last-in, first-out (LIFO)&nbsp;method, or market.
The Company maintains only one inventory pool for LIFO purposes as all inventories held by the
Company generally relate to the Company&#146;s only business segment, the manufacture and sale of copper
building wire products. As permitted by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the Company
maintains its inventory costs and cost of goods sold on a first-in, first-out (FIFO)&nbsp;basis and
makes a quarterly adjustment to adjust total inventory and cost of goods sold from FIFO to LIFO.
The Company applies the lower of cost or market (LCM)&nbsp;test by comparing the LIFO cost of its raw
materials, work-in-process and finished goods inventories to estimated market values, which are
based primarily upon the most recent quoted market price of copper, in pound quantities, as of the
end of each reporting period. Additionally, future reductions in the quantity of inventory on hand
could cause copper that is carried in inventory at costs different from the cost of copper in the
period in which the reduction occurs to be included in costs of goods sold for that period.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Primarily as a result of increasing copper costs and, to a lesser degree, a small increase in the
amount of inventory on hand during the third quarter 2005, a LIFO adjustment was recorded,
increasing cost of sales by $4.5&nbsp;million during the quarter. Based on the current copper prices,
there is no LCM adjustment necessary. Future reductions in the price of copper could require the
Company to record a LCM adjustment against the related inventory balance, which would result in a
negative impact on net income.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Selling expenses for the third quarter of 2005 were $10.7&nbsp;million, or 5.1% of net sales, compared
to $9.3&nbsp;million, or 5.8% of net sales, for the third quarter of 2004. The percentage decrease was
due to the substantial increase in the sales dollar denominator, which reduced the selling costs
percentage, minimizing an increase in freight costs, offset by a decrease in commissions on sales
paid to independent sales reps. Freight costs increased primarily due to higher fuel costs in the
trucking industry. General and administrative expenses increased to $1.9&nbsp;million, or .9% of net
sales, in the third quarter of 2005 compared to $1.8&nbsp;million, or 1.2% of net sales, in the third
quarter of 2004. The general and administrative costs are semi-fixed by nature and therefore did
not increase proportionately with sales and dropped as a percentage of sales. The provision for
bad debts was $195,000 in the third quarter of 2005 versus $45,000 in the third quarter of 2004.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Net interest expense increased to $1,074,000 in the third quarter of 2005 compared to $661,000 in
the third quarter of 2004 as a result of higher average debt balances outstanding during the third
quarter of 2005 and higher average interest rates.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company&#146;s net income increased to $11.2&nbsp;million in the
third quarter of 2005 from $6.4&nbsp;million in the third quarter of 2004.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Net sales for the first nine months of 2005 amounted to $513.9&nbsp;million compared with net sales of
$455.7&nbsp;million for the first nine months of 2004. This dollar increase was the result of a 2.4%
decrease in the volume of product shipped, offset by a 15.2% increase in the average price of wire
sold. Fluctuations in sales prices are primarily a result of fluctuations in copper raw material
prices and product price competition.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Cost of goods sold increased to $456.8&nbsp;million in the first nine months of 2005, compared to $380.0
million in the first nine months of 2004. Gross profit decreased to $57.1&nbsp;million, or 11.1% of net
sales, in the first nine months of 2005 versus $75.7&nbsp;million, or 16.6% of net sales, in the first
nine months of 2004. The decreased gross profit and gross margin percentages were primarily the
result of margin compression in the first half of 2005 versus 2004. The margin compression in the
first half of 2005 was discussed in the first two quarterly reports of 2005.

recent quoted market price of copper, in pound quantities, as of the end of each reporting period.
Future reductions in the quantity of inventory on hand could cause copper that is carried in
inventory at costs different from the cost of copper in the period in which the reduction occurs to
be included in costs of goods sold for that period at the different price.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Primarily as a result of increasing copper costs during the first nine months of 2005 and, to a
lesser extent, an increased amount of inventory on hand at September&nbsp;30, a LIFO adjustment was
recorded increasing cost of sales by $11.0&nbsp;million during the period. Based on the current copper
prices, there is no LCM adjustment necessary. Future reductions in the price of copper could
require the Company to record a LCM adjustment against the related inventory balance, which would
result in a negative impact on net income.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Selling expenses for the first nine months of 2005 were $27.4&nbsp;million, or 5.3% of net sales,
compared to $25.5&nbsp;million, or 5.6% of net sales, in the same period of 2004. The percentage
decrease was due to the substantial increase in the sales dollar denominator, which reduced the
selling costs percentage, minimizing an increase in freight costs, offset by a decrease in
commissions on sales paid to independent sales reps. Freight costs increased primarily due to
higher fuel costs in the trucking industry. General and administrative expenses remained
relatively flat at $5.6&nbsp;million, or 1.1% of net sales, in the first nine months of 2005 compared to
$5.5&nbsp;million, or 1.2% of net sales,

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">in the same period of 2004. The provision for bad debts was
$285,000 in the first nine months of 2005 versus $255,000 in the first nine months of 2004.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Net interest expense was $2,676,000 in the first nine months of 2005 compared to $2,055,000 in the
first nine months of 2004. The increase was due to higher average debt balances and higher average
interest rates during the first nine months of 2005 than during the comparable period of 2004.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company&#146;s net income decreased to $14.7&nbsp;million in the
first nine months of 2005 from $26.9&nbsp;million in the first nine months of 2004.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Liquidity and Capital Resources</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company maintains a substantial inventory of finished products to satisfy customer&#146;s prompt
delivery requirements. As is customary in the industry, the Company provides payment terms to most
of its customers that exceed terms that it receives from its suppliers. Therefore, the Company&#146;s
liquidity needs have generally consisted of operating capital necessary to finance these
receivables and inventory. Capital expenditures have historically been necessary to expand the
production capacity of the Company&#146;s manufacturing operations. The Company has historically
satisfied its liquidity and capital expenditure needs with cash generated from operations,
borrowings under its revolving credit facilities and sales of its common stock.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Effective August&nbsp;27, 2004, the Company through its indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary, Encore Wire
Limited, a Texas Limited partnership (&#147;Encore Wire Limited&#148;), refinanced its unsecured loan
facility with two banks (the &#147;Financing Agreement&#148;) and also arranged for a private placement of
debt (the &#147;Note Purchase Agreement&#148;). The Company is the guarantor of the indebtedness.
Obligations under the Financing Agreement and the Note Purchase Agreement are the only contractual
obligations or commercial borrowing commitments of the Company and Encore Wire Limited. The term
of the Financing Agreement extends through August&nbsp;27, 2009. The Financing Agreement provides for
maximum borrowings of the lesser of $85&nbsp;million or the amount of eligible accounts receivable plus
the amount of eligible finished goods and raw materials, less any reserves established by the
banks. The calculated maximum borrowing amount available at September&nbsp;30, 2005, as computed under
the Financing Agreement, was $85&nbsp;million. The Financing Agreement is with two banks, Bank of
America, N.A., as Agent, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, and replaces the previous
financing agreement that was effective August&nbsp;31, 1999 and had been extended by amendments through
May&nbsp;31, 2007 with a total credit line of $125&nbsp;million.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Concurrent with the Financing Agreement, Encore Wire Limited and the Company, through its agent
bank, entered into the Note Purchase Agreement with Hartford Life Insurance Company, Great-West
Life &#038; Annuity Insurance Company, London Life Insurance Company and London Life and Casualty
Reinsurance Corporation (collectively referred to as the &#147;Purchasers&#148;), whereby Encore Wire Limited
issued and sold $45&nbsp;million of 5.27% Senior Notes, Series&nbsp;2004-A, due August&nbsp;27, 2011 (the &#147;Senior
Notes&#148;) to the Purchasers, the proceeds of which were used to repay a portion of the Company&#146;s
outstanding indebtedness under the previous bank financing agreement. Through its agent bank, the
Company then entered into an interest rate swap agreement to convert the fixed rate on the Senior
Notes to a variable rate based on LIBOR plus a fixed adder for the seven-year duration of these
notes. As of September&nbsp;30, 2005, the

<DIV style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">



<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Company recorded an unrealized reduction to Notes Payable on
the balance sheet of $355,475 to account for the fair value of the interest rate swap.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Financing Agreement and the Senior Notes are unsecured and contain customary covenants and
events of default. The Company was in compliance with these covenants, as of September&nbsp;30, 2005.
Under the Financing Agreement, the Company is allowed to pay cash dividends. At September&nbsp;30,
2005, the total balance outstanding under the Financing Agreement and the Senior Notes was $84.3
million. Amounts outstanding under the Financing Agreement are payable on August&nbsp;27, 2009, with
interest payments due quarterly. Interest payments on the Senior Notes are due semi-annually.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Cash used in operations was $25.3&nbsp;million in the first nine months of 2005 compared to $1.5&nbsp;million
of cash provided by operations in the first nine months of 2004. This decrease in cash provided by
operations resulted from several major factors, including, the decrease in net income to $14.7
million in the first nine months of 2005 from $26.9&nbsp;million in the first nine months of 2004, an
increase in accounts receivable of $50.7&nbsp;million in 2005 versus and increase of $35.9&nbsp;million in
2004 and an increase in inventory of $11.1&nbsp;million in 2005 versus a decrease of $7.6&nbsp;million in
2004, offset by an increase in accounts payable of $8.8&nbsp;million in 2005 versus a decrease of $1.9
million in 2004 and a $8.0&nbsp;million swing in current taxes payable/ receivable from a $1.9&nbsp;million
use of cash in 2004 to a $6.1&nbsp;million source of cash in 2005. The increase in accounts payable is
due primarily to timing differences. The change in current taxes resulted from the way in which
taxes are calculated by annualizing year-to-date results. The 2004 tax accruals were driven upward
by the large earnings in the first half of the year, resulting in tax overpayments in 2004. In
2005, the Company offset these tax credits against 2005 tax liabilities.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Cash used in investing activities decreased to $9.9&nbsp;million in the first nine months of 2005 from
$16.0&nbsp;million in the first nine months of 2004, as the Company had lower capital expenditures in
2005. In 2004, the funds were used primarily to fund construction of the new 162,000 square foot
addition to the Company&#146;s distribution center as well as the purchase of manufacturing equipment.
The $34.5&nbsp;million of cash provided by financing activities in the first nine months of 2005 was a
result of the Company&#146;s increase in outstanding bank debt, which was required to satisfy the cash
demands discussed above.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">During the remainder of 2005, the Company expects its capital expenditures will consist of
additional plant and equipment for its residential and commercial wire operations, primarily
related to the new armored cable plant, which was discussed in a press release, dated March&nbsp;21,
2005. The Company broke ground for this plant in June&nbsp;2005. Current plans are to complete this
plant in the first half of 2006. The total capital expenditures associated with these projects in
2005 are currently estimated to be in the $15.0 to $20.0&nbsp;million range. The Company will continue
to manage its working capital requirements. These requirements may increase as a result of
expected continued sales increases and may be impacted by the price of copper. The Company
believes that the cash flow from operations and the financing available under the amended Financing
Agreement will satisfy working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve
months.
