RR Donnelley Provides Preliminary Third-quarter 2013 Results and Announces Agreement to Acquire Consolidated Graphics; Board of Directors Declares Quarterly Dividend

CHICAGO – October 24, 2013 – R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company (NASDAQ:RRD) today announced preliminary results for the third-quarter 2013, as set forth below:

 

     Estimated third-quarter 2013 results

GAAP Measures

  

Revenue

   $2.61 billion

Net earnings attributable to RRD shareholders

   $15 million

Diluted net earnings per share

   $0.08

Net cash provided by operating activities

   $249 million

Non-GAAP Measures

  

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA

   $280 million

Non-GAAP diluted net earnings per share

   $0.38

Free cash flow

   $194 million

“We are very pleased with our third-quarter performance and the continuation of the positive operational trends we experienced for the past four quarters. In the quarter, we expect to achieve approximately 2.2% organic revenue growth, with organic growth in both our U.S. and International segments. We expect strong cash flow in the quarter that enables us to migrate toward our targeted gross leverage range of 2.25x to 2.75x on a long-term sustainable basis,” said Thomas J. Quinlan III, R.R. Donnelley’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We will provide further details regarding the third-quarter results, as well as our outlook for the balance of the year, on our third-quarter earnings call, which will be held on November 5th.”

Quinlan continued, “We are also excited to announce that we have entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Consolidated Graphics, which will enhance our existing capabilities and improve our ability to serve our collective customers. Further, the mix of the purchase price consideration, combined with the expected run-rate synergies, results in the transaction being deleveraging on a pro forma basis as well as accretive to non-GAAP earnings per diluted share within the first twelve months after completion.”

In addition, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of 26 cents per common share. The dividend is payable December 2, 2013 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 14, 2013.

The reported results of the Company include the results of acquired businesses from the acquisition date forward. The Company has provided this schedule to reconcile reported net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 to pro forma net sales as if the 2012 acquisitions took place as of January 1, 2012 for the purposes of this schedule.

There were no acquisitions during the three months ended September 30, 2013.

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, the adjustment for net sales of acquired businesses reflects the net sales of EDGAR Online (acquired August 14, 2012), Express Postal Options International (acquired September 6, 2012), Meisel Photographic Corporation (acquired December 17, 2012) and Presort Solutions (acquired December 28, 2012).

 

(1) The three months ended September 30, 2012 included an adjustment for over-accruals of rebates owed to certain customers in prior periods that favorably impacted net sales by $2.9 million
(2) Adjusted for net sales of acquired businesses, the impact of changes in FX rates and pass-through paper sales and the prior year rebate adjustment to correct an over-accrual of rebates owed to certain customers
