Consolidated Graphics Reports Financial Results for the Quarter Ended December 2009.

HOUSTON, Feb. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Consolidated Graphics, Inc. (NYSE: CGX) today announced financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2009.

Revenue for the December quarter was $276.4 million, down 12.5% compared to the same quarter last year. The decline was due to lower election-related business and, as a result of the current economic environment, lower same-store sales of 6.8%.

Adjusted Operating Income for the December 2009 quarter was $23.0 million or 8.3% of revenue compared to $25.4 million or 8.0% of revenue for the same quarter last year. Despite the impact of lower revenues, continued cost reduction efforts in 2009 allowed for a modest improvement in Adjusted Operating Margin. Adjusted Net Income for the December 2009 quarter was $14.1 million, or $1.23 Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share compared to Adjusted Net Income of $13.7 million, or $1.21 Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share for the prior year quarter.

Operating income of $18.6 million in the December 2009 quarter included charges of $3.1 million primarily related to the impairment of certain production equipment and lease termination charges. The $55.5 million operating loss in the December 2008 quarter included charges totaling $79.5 million for the impairment of goodwill, the impairment of certain production equipment and litigation. Net income for the December 2009 quarter was $11.4 million, or $1.00 diluted earnings per share.

The Company generated $16.0 million in Free Cash Flow for the current quarter, compared to $23.5 million for the same quarter in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA was $41.8 million for the December 2009 quarter, compared to $42.4 million for the same quarter in the prior year. For the nine months ended December 31, 2009, the Company produced Free Cash Flow of $101.7 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $90.7 million. As of December 31, 2009, total debt was $221.1 million; $93.1 million or 30% lower than the debt balance at March 31, 2009.

Joe R. Davis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Consolidated Graphics, commented, "We are pleased with our performance in the December 2009 quarter in what continues to be a challenging environment. Even though quarterly same-store revenues declined 6.8% from last year, the rate of decline has slowed in each of the last three quarters as customer demand in many of our markets appears to have stabilized. During the quarter, we continued to focus on delivering an industry-leading offering that meets the changing needs of our customers, and on aggressively managing our costs, which ultimately allowed us to improve profitability over both the year ago and September 2009 quarters. We were able to achieve these results despite an $18 million decline in election-related business compared to the prior year quarter. Going forward, we will continue to monitor and appropriately manage our costs while at the same time investing in the future, building on our best-in-class capabilities and leveraging our advantages of technology, scale and financial strength to take advantage of the opportunities we see in the marketplace."

Mr. Davis added, "While the economy and our market appear to be stabilizing, it remains difficult to project our future revenues and earnings. Nevertheless, based on current market conditions, we expect the March quarter revenue to be in the range of $245 - $260 million representing same-store sales growth of up to 5%, excluding election-related revenue. This should allow us to achieve Adjusted Net Income growth in the March 2010 quarter compared to the prior year period."

A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share are included in the attached tables and in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed today. The Form 8-K also includes the basis for management's use of the non-GAAP financial measures.

The conference call will be simultaneously broadcast live over the Internet on our website (www.cgx.com) and a subsequent archive of such call will also be available on our website.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in which the Company discusses factors it believes may affect its performance or results in the future. Forward-looking statements are all statements other than historical facts, such as statements regarding assumptions, expectations, beliefs and projections about future events or conditions. You can generally identify forward-looking statements by the appearance in such a statement of words like "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "might," "plan," "potential," "predict," "forecast," "project," "should" or "will" or other comparable words or the negative of such words. The accuracy of the Company's assumptions, expectations, beliefs and projections depends on events or conditions that change over time and are thus susceptible to change based on actual experience, new developments and known and unknown risks, including those created by general market conditions, competition and the possibility that events may occur beyond the Company's control, which may limit its ability to maintain or improve its operating results or financial condition or acquire additional printing businesses. The Company gives no assurance that the forward-looking statements will prove to be correct and does not undertake any duty to update them. The Company's actual future results might differ from the forward-looking statements made in this press release for a variety of reasons, which include continuing weakness in the economy, financial stability of its customers, the sustained growth of its digital printing business, seasonality of election-related business, its ability to adequately manage business expenses, including labor costs, the unfavorable outcome of legal proceedings, the lack of or adequacy of insurance coverage for its operations, the continued availability of raw materials at affordable prices, retention of its key management and operating personnel, satisfactory labor relations, the potential for additional goodwill impairment charges, its ability to identify new acquisition opportunities, negotiate and finance such acquisitions on acceptable terms and successfully absorb and manage such acquisitions in a timely and efficient manner, as well as other risks described under the heading "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A and the risk factors and cautionary statements described in the other documents the Company files or furnishes from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K. Should one or more of the foregoing risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the Company's underlying assumptions, expectations, beliefs or projections prove incorrect, the Company's actual results may vary materially from those anticipated in its forward-looking statements, and its business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

This press release also contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA, which we define as earnings, or net income, before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, goodwill impairment charges, litigation and other charges, share-based compensation expense, non-cash foreign currency transaction gains and losses and net losses/gains from asset dispositions, Free Cash Flow, which we define as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures plus proceeds from assets dispositions, Adjusted Operating Income, which we define as operating income before goodwill charges, litigation and other charges, share based compensation expense, and non-cash foreign currency translation net (gain)/loss, Adjusted Operating Margin, which we define as Adjusted Operating Income divided by sales, Adjusted Net Income, which we define as net income before goodwill charges, litigation and other charges, share based compensation expense, non-cash foreign currency transaction net (gain)/loss, all net of tax, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, which we define as Adjusted net Income divided by diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to comparable GAAP financial measures are provided in the tables below. Management's opinion regarding the usefulness of these non-GAAP financial measures to investors and a description of the ways in which management used such measures can be found in the Current Report on Form 8-K we filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
