Management Commentary
“Our performance in 2013 was gratifying and exceeded our initial expectations, especially in our sales, cash generation, and margin performance,” said K. “Suri” Suriyakumar, Chairman, President and CEO of ARC Document Solutions. “As we noted in January, the third and fourth quarters produced year-over-year sales increases, and for the first time in the company’s public history, fourth quarter revenue matched third quarter revenue. Fourth quarter gross margin also improved sequentially over third quarter gross margin. These are all indications of the fundamental changes in the business drivers of our company. As a result of the effects of the restructuring we began in 2012, we also saw gross margin expand dramatically year-over-year, and we delivered a strong uptick in our adjusted EBITDA. We’ve achieved real momentum with organic margin improvement programs as well, and I expect that we will continue to reap the benefit of our efforts throughout the coming year.”
John Toth, ARC’s CFO, said, “While our business has adapted to embrace new customer workflows, new business lines, and new technologies, one thing that hasn’t changed is our ability to produce cash. Not only did we exceed our forecast for cash flow from operations, but we ended the year with a cash balance equal to 2012 despite the cash outlays associated with our restructuring, open market bond repurchases, and our refinancing at the end of the year. We are well positioned to deleverage the company and I think our performance in 2013 provides an excellent springboard for more success in 2014.”









2013 Fourth Quarter Supplemental Information:
Net sales were $101 million, a 5% increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2012.

Days sales outstanding in Q4 2013 were 50 compared to 48 days in Q4 2012.

AEC customers comprised approximately 76% of our total net sales, while non-AEC customers made up 24% of our total net sales.

Total number of Onsite Services contracts was approximately 7,700, a gain of approximately 700 contracts over Q4 2012.

Sales Reporting Format
In February 2013, ARC Document Solutions announced that in its statement of operations the Company would begin reporting net sales under "Service sales" and "Equipment and supplies sales" to better identify and report its individual services and product lines. The two new categories replace the three categories previously used to report net sales of "Reprographics services," "Facilities management," and "Equipment and supplies sales."
"Service sales" includes traditional reprographics services, onsite services, color printing services, and digital services. "Equipment and supplies sales" is self-explanatory. Net sales for the individual services and product lines that comprise each category are reported and reconciled in the Company's "Net Sales by Services and Product Line" table included herein. For historical comparisons, please consult the Company's 2012 annual report on Form 10-K.
Outlook:
ARC Document Solutions anticipates annual adjusted earnings per share in 2014 to be in the range of $0.19 to $0.23 on a fully diluted basis, and annual cash flow from operations to be in the range of $51 million to $56 million.

Non-GAAP Financial 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. 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 debt and taxation which are managed at the corporate level for U.S. operating segments. As a result, we believe EBIT is the best measure of operating segment 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 we use EBITDA to measure performance for determining consolidated-level compensation. In addition, we use EBIT and EBITDA to evaluate potential acquisitions and potential capital expenditures.
EBIT, EBITDA and related ratios have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered 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 changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
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.
Our presentation of adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA over certain periods is an attempt to provide meaningful comparisons to our historical performance for our existing and future investors. The unprecedented changes in our end markets over the past several years have required us to take measures that are unique in our history and specific to individual circumstances. Comparisons inclusive of these actions make normal financial and other performance patterns difficult to discern under a strict GAAP presentation. Each non-GAAP presentation, however, is explained in detail in the reconciliation tables above. For more information, see our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Specifically, we have presented adjusted net income (loss) attributable to ARC and adjusted earnings (loss) per share attributable to ARC for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 to reflect the exclusion of amortization impact related specifically to the change in useful lives of trade names, loss on extinguishment of debt, goodwill impairment, restructuring expense, interest rate swap related costs, and changes in the valuation allowances related to certain deferred tax assets and other discrete tax items. This presentation facilitates a meaningful comparison of our operating results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. We believe these charges were the result of the current macroeconomic environment, our capital restructuring, or other items which are not indicative of our actual operating performance.
We presented adjusted EBITDA in three and twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 to exclude stock-based compensation expense, restructuring expense, goodwill impairment and loss on extinguishment of debt. The adjustment of EBITDA for non-cash adjustments is consistent with the definition of adjusted EBITDA in our credit agreement; therefore, we believe this information is useful to investors in assessing our financial performance.
