| American Reprographics Company Reports Results for Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2009 |
WALNUT CREEK, CA, Feb 23, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- American Reprographics Company (NYSE: ARP)
American Reprographics Company (NYSE: ARP) (the "Company"), the nation's leading provider of reprographic services and technology, today reported its financial results for the full year and fourth quarter ended December 31, 2009. "We are glad to put 2009 behind us. In spite of the challenging conditions the company performed well," said K. "Suri" Suriyakumar, Chairman, President and CEO. "The extraordinary efforts we made to right size the company and contain costs in late 2008 and early 2009 allowed us to battle through a very difficult year and come out of it vigorous and healthy. We were able to meet our financial obligations comfortably, make investments in several new products and services to enhance our revenue stream, and reduce our debt obligations by more than $85 million despite a decline in annual sales of more than 28%." Jonathan Mather, Chief Financial Officer, said, "While we did not see an upturn in construction-related business during the fourth quarter, we were happy to see slightly stronger sales than we anticipated. Aggressively managing the company to control costs provided us the flexibility and focus to ensure we made the most of every bit of activity in the market." Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $501.6 million, compared to $701.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, a 28.5% decline year-over-year. The Company's gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2009 was 35.5%, compared to 40.7% for the year ended December 31, 2008. Adjusted net income for 2009 was $17.2 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, excluding the effects of previously disclosed one-time charges related to the Company's annual goodwill impairment assessment, an impairment of long-lived assets, and costs associated with an amendment to our credit agreement and interest rate swap transaction. Adjusted net income for 2008 was $59.0 million, or $1.30 per diluted share excluding the goodwill impairment charge in the fourth quarter of 2008. Net cash from operating activities in 2009 was $97.4 million, compared to $127.3 million in 2008. Net revenue for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $111.7 million, compared to $154.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2008, a decrease of 27.5%. The Company's gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2009 was 32.2%, compared to 36.7% for the same period in 2008. Adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $0.4 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, adjusted to exclude one-time charges noted above. This compares to adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of 2008 of $6.5 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, excluding the goodwill impairment charge in the fourth quarter of 2008, as noted above. Outlook American Reprographics Company anticipates annual earnings per share in 2010 to be in the range of $0.15 to $0.30 on a fully-diluted basis, and annual cash flow from operations in the range of $65 million to $80 million.

Non-GAAP Measures EBIT, EBITDA and related ratios presented in this report are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by or presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). These measures are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, income from operations, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as a measure of our liquidity. EBIT represents net income before interest and taxes. EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Amortization does not include $4.9 million, $4.3 million and $3.5 million of stock based compensation expense recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses, for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. EBIT margin is a non-GAAP measure calculated by dividing EBIT by net sales. EBITDA margin is a non-GAAP measure calculated by dividing EBITDA by net sales. We present EBIT, EBITDA and related ratios because we consider them important supplemental measures of our performance and liquidity. We believe investors may also find these measures meaningful, given how our management makes use of them. The following is a discussion of our use of these measures. We use EBIT and EBITDA to measure and compare the performance of our operating segments. Our operating segments' financial performance includes all of the operating activities except for debt and taxation which are managed at the corporate level for U.S. operating segments. As a result, EBIT is the best measure of divisional profitability and the most useful metric by which to measure and compare the performance of our operating segments. We also use EBIT to measure performance for determining operating segment-level compensation and use EBITDA to measure performance for determining consolidated-level compensation. We also use EBIT and EBITDA to evaluate potential acquisitions and to evaluate whether to incur capital expenditures. EBIT, EBITDA and related ratios have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are as follows: -- They do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for
capital expenditures and contractual commitments;
-- They do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash
requirements necessary, to service interest or principal payments on
our debt;
-- Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets
being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the
future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such
replacements; and
-- Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate
these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as
comparative measures.
Because of these limitations, EBIT, EBITDA, and related ratios should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in business growth or to reduce our indebtedness. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using EBIT, EBITDA and related ratios only as supplements. We have presented adjusted net income attributable to ARC and adjusted earnings per share attributable to ARC shareholders for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 to reflect the exclusion of the goodwill impairment charge, long-lived assets impairment charge and costs related to the 2009 amendments to the Credit Agreement and Swap Transaction. This presentation facilitates a meaningful comparison of our operating results for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. We presented adjusted EBITDA in 2009 and 2008 to exclude the non-cash impairment charges of $38.2 million and $35.2 million, respectively, as we believe this was a result of the current macroeconomic environment and not indicative of our operations. The exclusion of the goodwill impairment charges and long-lived assets impairment charge, and costs related to the 2009 amendments to the Credit Agreement and Swap Transaction to arrive at adjusted EBITDA is consistent with the definition of adjusted EBITDA in the amendment to the Credit Agreement, therefore we believe this information is useful to investors in assessing our ability to meet our debt covenants.
