REDDY ICE REPORTS THIRD QUARTER

AND NINE MONTHS 2007 RESULTS

Annual Guidance for 2007 Lowered

OCTOBER 25, 2007 - DALLAS, TEXAS - Reddy Ice Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: FRZ), today reported financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Revenues for the third quarter of 2007 were $125.7 million, compared to $123.3 million in the same quarter of 2006. The Company’s income from continuing operations was $15.6 million in the third quarter of 2007, compared to $17.0 million in the same quarter of 2006. Net income was $16.6 million in the third quarter of 2007 versus $15.1 million in 2006. Diluted net income per share was $0.75 in the third quarter of 2007, compared to $0.69 in the third quarter of 2006. Adjusted EBITDA, defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and the effects of certain other items, was $44.0 million in the third quarter of 2007, compared to $42.5 million in the third quarter of 2006. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was $43.5 million in the third quarter of 2007 versus $41.9 million in 2006. Available Cash for the third quarter of 2007 was $28.3 million, compared to $34.5 million in the third quarter of 2006. A discussion regarding the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Available Cash in this press release, including reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to EBITDA and net income and the calculation of Available Cash, is set forth below in the section titled, “SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE REGARDING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION.”

“Weather conditions returned to more typical patterns in the second half of the third quarter. As a result of these improvements and the effects of acquisitions, we were able to post a modest increase in results as compared to the third quarter of 2006. Although weather conditions and results in September were better than 2006, they did not fully meet our expectations, which necessitates a further reduction in our full year 2007 guidance,” commented Chief Executive Officer Jimmy C. Weaver. “We continue to believe that the fundamentals of the business remain solid and that we are well positioned to take advantage of improving weather trends and our ongoing internal operating initiatives.”

Revenues in the first nine months of 2007 were $274.8 million, compared to $275.7 million in 2006. The Company’s income from continuing operations was $16.1 million in the first nine months of 2007, compared to $20.8 million in 2006. Net income in the first nine months of 2007 was $17.0 million, compared to $19.5 million in 2006. Diluted net income per

share was $0.77 in the first nine months of 2007, compared to $0.90 in the same period of 2006. Adjusted EBITDA was $76.8 million in the first nine months of 2007, compared to $80.3 million in the first nine months of 2006. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was $75.8 million in the first nine months of 2007 versus $78.1 million in 2006. Available Cash for the first nine months of 2007 was $42.6 million, compared to $53.5 million in the first nine months of 2006.

In connection with its ongoing acquisition strategy, the Company completed four acquisitions during the third quarter of 2007, bringing the year-to-date total to seventeen. These seventeen acquisitions had an aggregate acquisition cost of approximately $21.8 million. Annual revenues and Adjusted EBITDA associated with these acquisitions are approximately $14.7 million and $4.0 million, respectively.

The Company sold its bottled water business and substantially all of its cold storage business during the third quarter of 2007 for total gross cash proceeds of $20.3 million and a total gain of $1.4 million. The historical results of these businesses are now presented as “Discontinued Operations”. The Company’s existing senior credit agreement requires that the net proceeds from the sale of the Company’s non-ice businesses must be used either to repay term borrowings under the credit facility or to make acquisitions and/or capital expenditures within twelve months of the receipt of such proceeds. Until used, the proceeds will be deposited in a restricted account with the administrative agent under the credit facility.

Results for the third quarter of 2007 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 include $2.0 million of transaction expenses incurred in connection with the previously announced potential acquisition of the Company by entities formed by funds affiliated with GSO Capital Partners LP.

OUTLOOK

The following statements are based on current expectations. These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. These statements do not include the potential impact of, or costs related to, any mergers, acquisitions or other business combinations or divestitures that may be completed after October 25, 2007, except as noted below. The projections for 2007 include the effects of the acquisitions completed through the date of this press release and estimated transaction costs related to the previously announced potential acquisition of the Company by entities formed by funds affiliated with GSO Capital Partners LP.

As a result of less favorable results than anticipated in the last half of the third quarter, management is revising its previously issued guidance for 2007. Revenues in 2007 are currently expected to range between $332 million and $338 million and net income to range from $11.3 million to $15.4 million. Diluted net income per share is expected to be in the range of $0.51 to $0.70. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for 2007 is expected to be in the range of $83 million to $87 million, which excludes Adjusted EBITDA related to discontinued operations of approximately $1.0 million. Available Cash, as defined in the Company’s credit agreement, is expected to range from $44.4 million to $50.1 million in 2007, with diluted Available Cash per share ranging from $2.02 to $2.28. Capital expenditures for the full year

2007 are expected to range between $23 million and $24 million and dispositions to total $1 million to $3 million, for net capital expenditures of $20 million to $23 million.

SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE REGARDING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

EBITDA represents net income before income taxes, interest and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA as further adjusted to give effect to unusual items, non-cash items and other adjustments set forth below, such additional adjustments being required to calculate covenant ratios and compliance under the Company’s credit facility. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not presentations made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and are not measures of financial condition or profitability. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for “net income”, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, as an indicator of operating performance.

By presenting Adjusted EBITDA, Reddy Ice intends to provide investors with a better understanding of its core operating results to measure past performance as well as prospects for the future. Reddy Ice evaluates operating performance based on several measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, as Reddy Ice believes it is an important measure of the operational strength of its business. Furthermore, the additional adjustments included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA are required to calculate covenant ratios and compliance under the Company’s credit facility, including its ability to pay dividends.

Adjusted EBITDA as we have presented it, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily a measure of Reddy Ice’s ability to fund its cash needs, as it excludes certain financial information when compared to “net income”. Users of this financial information should consider the types of events and transactions which are excluded.

As a result of the sale of substantially all of the Company’s non-ice businesses during the third quarter of 2007, the results of operation of those businesses, as well as the gain on their sale, are presented as “discontinued operations” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the Company’s credit facility, includes the results of operations of discontinued operations through their date of sale. Adjusted EBITDA associated with discontinued operations is eliminated to calculate pro forma Adjusted EBITDA. Therefore, in the following reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, the following line items are calculated as the total of continuing and discontinued operations: depreciation expense related to cost of sales, depreciation and amortization expense, income tax expense, loss on disposition of assets and impairment of assets.

Adjusted EBITDA	$	43,999		$	42,481	$	76,819		$	80,318

(a) Represents costs incurred in connection with (i) the potential acquisition of the Company by GSO Capital Partners LP and (ii) the Company’s secondary stock offering in May 2006. These costs have been or will be paid by Reddy Holdings from the excess cash remaining from the initial public offering of its common stock in August 2005, and are therefore excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA for purposes of the Company’s credit facility.

The Company’s credit agreement requires that pro forma effect be given to certain items, such as acquisitions or dispositions of businesses and the purchase of leased assets, when calculating Adjusted EBITDA. The following table sets forth the calculation of pro forma Adjusted EBITDA:

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 30,						September 30,

Acquisition adjustments (b)	176			2,463			870			4,402
Pro forma adjusted EBITDA	$	43,644		$	44,369		$	76,646		$	82,518

(a) Represents the elimination of the historical Adjusted EBITDA associated with discontinued operations.

(b) Represents the incremental Adjusted EBITDA of acquired businesses as if each acquisition had been consummated on the first day of the period presented. All acquisitions included herein were consummated on or before September 30, 2007.

Available Cash is a defined term in the Company’s credit agreement and is a key measure in evaluating the Company’s ability to pay dividends. Available cash for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 is calculated as follows:
