SIRVA Targeting to Announce Full Year 2004 and First Half 2005 Financial Results, and File 2004 Form 10-K, in September

CHICAGO, July 28, 2005 — SIRVA, Inc. (NYSE: SIR), a global relocation services provider, announced today that it is targeting to report audited financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2004 in September, when it expects to file its 2004 Form 10-K. The company also expects to announce results for the first and second quarters of 2005 at the same time.

Previously, SIRVA had targeted the end of July for the release of its preliminary unaudited 2004 and first quarter 2005 operating and segment results. The company has decided not to release its preliminary results in advance of finalizing its audited 2004 financial statements in September to permit it to evaluate the need for two potential changes in the historical method of revenue recognition in its Relocation Services business.

Specifically, the revenue recognition methods under consideration are: 1) a change in the timing of revenue recognition from the date a home sale contract is signed to the date of the home’s closing, which if implemented, would have a relatively minor impact on the revenue and operating income of prior years; and 2) the reporting of revenue for fixed fee transactions on a gross basis (including home value), versus the company’s current method of net reporting, which if implemented, would result in a material increase in reported revenue, but would have no impact on operating income.
