Standard Register Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2010 Financial Results
Profit Trends Improved During Quarter and Positive for the Year
DAYTON, Ohio (February 25, 2011) Standard Register (NYSE: SR) today reported its fourth quarter and total year 2010 results. For the quarter, the Company reported revenue of $172.7 million and a net profit of $2.2 million, or $0.08 per share. The current year fourth quarter 13-week results compare to last years 14-week revenue of $184.9 million and a net profit of $0.9 million, or $0.03 per share. For the year, the Company reported revenue of $668.4 million and a net profit of $2.6 million, or $0.09 per share. The current year 52-week results compare to last years 53-week revenue of $694.0 million and a net loss of $12.4 million, or $0.43 per share.
We have made great progress during the year to stabilize revenue, improve profits and manage cash toward break-even, stated Joseph Morgan, president and chief executive officer. As a result, we are entering 2011 a financially stronger and more focused organization that will take advantage of the emerging opportunities in those markets in which we participate.
Results of Operations
Revenue comparisons to the prior year are not consistent given the extra week reported during the fourth quarter 2009. However, during the quarter the Company continued to see expansion of its customer base through new contracts and growth in priority solutions even including the extra week from the prior year.
Gross margin as a percent of revenue was improved to 32.7 for the quarter versus 31.9 in the prior year. For the year, gross margin was at 32.0 percent of revenue versus 31.8 percent of revenue in the prior year. Favorable LIFO inventory adjustments were $1.2 million for the current quarter and $3.8 million for the year. This compares to favorable LIFO adjustments of $1.9 million and $4.9 million for the fourth quarter and total year
2009. Continuous improvement initiatives allowed the Company to enhance gross margin despite lower
revenue units.
Selling, general and administrative expenses are also not consistent given the extra week reported during the fourth quarter 2009. However, savings initiatives during the quarter continue to offset planned investments in technology, materials science, and key expertise to support our market development.
All business units have shown great progress during the year in improving their operating profits, noted Morgan. It is encouraging to see that the investments we made previously to support these businesses are now beginning to provide the returns we had anticipated.
Adjusting for pension loss amortization, pension settlement losses and restructuring and impairment charges, non-GAAP adjusted net income was $5.7 million, or $0.21 per share for the fourth quarter of 2010, compared with non-GAAP adjusted net income of $3.2 million, or $0.11 per share for the fourth quarter of 2009. On a year-to-date basis, adjusting for pension loss amortization, pension settlement losses and restructuring and impairment charges, non-GAAP adjusted net income was $15.5 million, or $0.54 per share compared with non-GAAP adjusted net income of $16.4 million, or $0.58 per share for the prior year.
Capital expenditures were $14.7 million for the year using a combination of $8.4 million in cash and $6.3 million through operating and capital lease agreements. In addition, the Company purchased the assets of Fusion Graphics, Inc. for $2.5 million during the second quarter. Pension funding was $24.0 million for the year. Non-GAAP cash on a net debt basis was $5.9 million negative for the year.
We came short of our expectations for cash this year as our year-end receivables balance grew $13 million from the previous quarter, commented Morgan. On the upside, this has resulted in strong positive cash flow for the start of 2011.
Conference Call
Standard Registers President and Chief Executive Officer Joseph Morgan and Chief Financial Officer Bob Ginnan will host a conference call at 10 a.m. EST on February 25, 2011, to review the fourth quarter and year-end results. The call can be accessed via an audio web cast which is accessible at: http://www.standardregister.com/investorcenter.
Presentation of Information in This Press Release
This press release may contain information that is non-GAAP. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a companys performance, financial position, or cash flows where amounts are either excluded or included not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The presentation of non-GAAP information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In particular, because our outstanding debt is borrowed under a revolving credit agreement which currently permits us to borrow and repay at will up to a balance of $100 million (subject to limitations related to receivable balances and letters of credit), we measure cash flow performance prior to debt borrowing or repayment. In effect, we evaluate cash flow as the change in net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents).
