                           CHAMPION ENTERPRISES, INC.
                         REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS



         Auburn Hills, Mich., July 17, 2002--Champion Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE:
CHB), the nation's leading housing manufacturer, today reported results for its
second quarter ended June 29, 2002. For the three-month period, Champion had net
sales of $362 million and a net loss of $9.4 million, or $0.20 per diluted
share, excluding gains of $0.07 per diluted share for debt retirement and
charges of $0.06 per diluted share to close 33 retail sales centers. During the
quarter a Texas homebuilding facility was consolidated. In the first six months
of 2002, the company reported net sales of $668 million and a net loss of $21.2
million, or $0.45 per diluted share, excluding the gain on debt retirement and
closing-related expenses.

         In the comparable quarter a year ago, the company reported net sales of
$428 million and net income of $1.1 million, or $0.02 per diluted share,
excluding costs to close two homebuilding facilities. In the first six months of
2001, Champion's net sales were $755 million, which resulted in a loss of $20.2
million, or $0.43 per diluted share, before closing-related costs. These
expenses were $0.01 per diluted share for the quarter and $0.11 per diluted
share for the year-to-date period. Pretax goodwill amortization expense for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2001 was $2.9 million ($2.2 million after
tax or $0.04 per diluted share) and $5.8 million ($4.4 million after tax or
$0.09 per diluted share), respectively.

         Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, Walter R. Young,
commented, "Our results are disappointing as we thought the industry and
Champion would be in a growth mode by now. Unfortunately, the industry continues
to be affected by retail consumer financing issues. Industry repossessions also
remain high and the transition to real estate loans is taking longer than
originally estimated."

















Operations

         Manufacturing- For the three-month period, wholesale revenues decreased
11% to $314 million from $351 million one year earlier. Segment income was $10.4
million compared to $20.4 million, which excludes $1 million of impairment
charges, in the second quarter of 2001. For the six-month period, the
manufacturing segment reported $580 million in revenues, which resulted in
segment income of $11.7 million. Champion had unfilled wholesale orders of $26
million at the end of this year's second quarter at 46 plants, compared to $43
million at 49 plants a year earlier.

         Losses related to retailer defaults dropped to $500,000 in the first
six months of 2002 from $3.3 million in the comparable period a year ago. The
company said that the transition from Conseco floor plan lending is progressing
smoothly for its independent retailers. Champion-produced homes at independent
retailers that are financed by Conseco are down from $134 million in March of
this year to $49 million today, with $19 million still under contingent
repurchase obligations. The company believes that any potential losses related
to these contingent repurchase obligations will not materially affect earnings.

         Retail- Year-over-year retail revenues dropped 25% for the quarter and
26% for the six-month period. Excluding costs associated with closing retail
locations, the segment reported a loss of $8.9 million for the second quarter of
this year compared to a loss of $1.8 million a year earlier. In June 2002 the
company closed 33 under performing retail locations, which had losses from
operations totaling $2.1 million in the second quarter. Pretax charges of $4.9
million, including $1.9 million of non-cash impairment charges, were recorded as
a result of these closings.

          Finance- Following the April purchase of CIT's manufactured housing
loan origination operations, Champion began originating retail consumer loans
through its wholly owned subsidiary, HomePride Finance Corp. For the quarter,
the company originated $6 million of loans and applied $2.4 million of these
loans to its warehouse facility, resulting in $2.1 million of proceeds.

Liquidity and Capital Structure

        Champion ended the quarter with $86 million in unrestricted cash, and
$36 million in restricted cash for letter of credit collateral. Cash flow from
operations was $13.5 million for the three-month period. Since the beginning of
the year, the company has reduced its floor plan liability by $60 million and at
the end of June had $11 million outstanding on its $30 million of total
available floor plan credit lines. Excluding the gain on debt retirement,
closing-related expenses and EBITDA losses at closed retail locations and the
consolidated homebuilding facility, the company had EBITDA of $340,000 for the
second quarter of 2002. On a comparable basis EBITDA was $19.3 million in the
same quarter a year ago.












        The company had $358 million of total debt outstanding at June 29, 2002.
During the three-month period, $30 million in Senior Notes due 2009 were retired
for $23.8 million, resulting in a gain of $0.07 per diluted share. In April 2002
Champion issued $25 million of convertible preferred stock and $150 million of
Senior Notes due 2007 with an 11.25% annual interest rate. The company has also
established a $150 million warehouse line to support HomePride's operations.

Industry View

         In the first five months of 2002, year-over-year industry shipments
declined 2.6%. For 2002 the company estimates industry wholesale shipments of
180,000 homes (previously 185,000), down 7% from 2001 levels, and industry
retail sales of 195,000 new homes (previously 200,000), down 8% from 2001
levels. These estimates are based on industry new home inventory dropping by
15,000 homes this year. Champion estimates that industry repossessions will be
90,000 homes in 2002, which will be flat with 2001 levels, and begin to trend
down next year to 80,000 repossessions (previously 70,000). The company
estimates that cash and real estate mortgages now represent at least 60% of
industry funding.

Outlook

         "For this year's third quarter, we see relative improvement from second
quarter results, but still expect to report a loss," Young continued. "Until the
industry shows consistent year-over-year improvements, we intend to continue to
manage the business for cash and to keep tight controls over inventory levels
and working capital needs. We plan to keep capacity and inventories aligned with
demand and will carefully monitor retail lot performance and make adjustments if
necessary. This continuing assessment of business conditions and our outlook may
also impact our valuation of retail goodwill and deferred tax assets.

         "Because inventories at our independent retailers are generally in good
shape, our wholesale order rates should respond quickly when industry retail
sales improve. We are positioned to benefit from an industry upturn, with retail
customer traffic levels holding steady, HomePride Finance operations growing and
the strength of our Champion Home Center distribution network. In addition, we
have our Genesis distribution, which shows a lot of long-term potential.
However, it has not ramped up as quickly as we had hoped with sales increasing
slightly from a year ago. We expect sales to builders and developers to be about
3,000 homes this year," concluded Young.



















         Champion Enterprises, Inc., headquartered in Auburn Hills, Michigan, is
the industry's leading manufacturer and has produced nearly 1.6 million homes
since the company was founded. The company operates 46 homebuilding facilities
in 16 states and two Canadian provinces and 181 retail locations in 27 states.
Independent retailers, including 604 Champion Home Center locations, and
approximately 400 builders and developers also sell Champion-built homes. The
company also provides financing for retail purchasers of its homes. Further
