* Reuters is not responsible for the content in this press release.
HOWELL, MI, Nov 12 (MARKET WIRE) --
MWW Automotive Group (OTCBB: MWWC), a global automotive firm providing
design services and designing and manufacturing accessories for many of
the world's leading automotive manufacturers, today presented
shareholders with a strong, positive summary of the Company's many recent
achievements in a detailed shareholder letter. The full text of the
shareholder letter can be reviewed on the company's web site at
www.mwwautomotive.com in the section "Investor Relations"; subsection
"Press Releases."
The letter cites impressive sales increases for the past six months, and
forecasts growth exceeding previous company expectations, based on
substantial numbers of contracts with major customers, current and new.
Moreover, despite the downturn that the global automotive industry has
experienced during the last twelve (12) months, MWW Automotive continues
to report improving operational and financial results, including an
increase in Third and Fourth Quarter revenue, and an improvement of the
bottom line. In the letter, management attributes these achievements in
part to the newly emerging trend of more frequent smaller "Special
Vehicle" production runs of the large automotive manufacturers, which
fall squarely within MWW's competence and generate a larger market for
the Company. As a result, all MWW Automotive Group companies have added
new major customers, established new distribution channels in Europe and
Mexico and continue to aggressively expand the customer base and product
line.
This trend is supported by the improving market conditions in the general
auto industry, the letter states. German auto sales have risen 24% in
October, GM posts a 5% gain and Ford has posted a profit for nearly $1
billion for the third quarter of 2009. US auto sales have risen for the
first time since 2007 and are predicted to rise by fifteen (15%) in 2010,
according to J.D. Powers.
MWW sales have now increased for six consecutive months in a row,
including in September 2009. Major automobile and supplier stocks have
seen a notable rise and analysts are slowly beginning to anticipate a
sustainable upward trend. MWW stock is beginning to show some volume and
tightening of the spread; planned investor relations activities are
expected to improve and expedite that trend.
"This upward trend is evidenced in our own financial performance, which
improved notably again in the Third and Fourth Quarter of our fiscal year
2009 (FY September 30), and we expect this improvement to accelerate
during 2010," Michael Winzkowski, Chief Executive Officer of the MWW
Group,
stated.
-- Revenue for the 3rd quarter rose 61%.
-- The Company's operating loss improved by 51% for the 3rd quarter over
the 2nd quarter of 2009.
-- August 2009 sales rose 24% over July 2009 sales.
-- September sales rose 10% over August sales.
-- Fourth Quarter sales increased 48% over Third Quarter sales.
-- Annual sales are expected to slightly surpass recent projections.
Furthermore, MWW has generated a large number of new opportunities
during the last twelve months:
-- All companies in the MWW Group currently have more Requests for Quotes
(RFQs) and new projects in different stages of development and production
than at any other time in our history and orders and forecasts from our
large global customers are improving.
-- A wide range of newly developed products and the newly established
distribution channels in Europe, the US and South America will further
improve the company's performance in the months and years to come.
Mr. James Marvin, COO of MWW Automotive, stated: "The changing market
conditions are generating excellent new opportunities for the MWW Group,
and we are well positioned for continued strong growth. All companies of
the MWW Group, in both the US and Europe, are currently in negotiations
with a number of important new customers for new programs for mid- and
long-term execution, and new distribution channels have been established.
We are looking forward to aggressively taking advantage of these
opportunities in the months and years to come. MWW is not only
participating in the general recovery of the industry, but is clearly
surpassing average sales growth for the industry and accelerating the
improvement of its financial performance with increasing revenues for the
last six consecutive months."

accomplishments during 2009 and the opportunities that lie ahead.
