Cenveo Announces First Quarter 2011 Results

Cenveo, Inc. has announced results for the three months ended April 2, 2011.

For the first quarter of 2011, net sales increased approximately 11 percent to $503.1 million, as compared to $453.9 million in the first quarter of 2010. This increase was driven by the acquisition of MeadWestvaco Corporation's Envelope Product Group ("EPG"), which closed in February, and mid-single digit percentage organic growth in our custom label, commercial print, and specialty packaging products.

The Company generated operating income of $22.2 million in the first quarter of 2011, compared to $12.2 million in the first quarter of 2010, an increase of approximately 82 percent. Non-GAAP operating income increased approximately 16 percent to $34.5 million in the first quarter of 2011, compared to $29.8 million in the first quarter of 2010, as a result of both the benefits of the Company's focus on cost containment and increased utilization in certain businesses. Non-GAAP operating income excludes integration, acquisition and other charges, stock-based compensation provision, restructuring and impairment charges and divested operations or asset held for sale. A reconciliation of operating income to Non-GAAP operating income is presented in the attached tables.

For the first quarter of 2011, the Company recorded net income of $2.8 million, or $0.04 per share, compared to a net loss of $11.1 million, or $0.18 per share, for the first quarter of 2010.
The results for the first quarter of 2011 include a preliminary bargain purchase gain of $10.5 million related to the EPG acquisition while the results for the first quarter of 2010 include a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $2.6 million. On a Non-GAAP basis, income from continuing operations was $4.0 million, or $0.06 per share, for the first quarter of 2011 as compared to a Non-GAAP loss from continuing operations of $0.5 million, or $0.01 per share, in the same prior year period. Non-GAAP income (loss) from continuing operations excludes integration, acquisition and other charges, stock-based compensation provision, restructuring and impairment charges, gain on bargain purchase, divested operations or asset held for sale, loss on early extinguishment of debt and adjusts income taxes to reflect an estimated cash tax rate.

Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2011 grew approximately 12 percent to $51.1 million compared to $45.5 million in the first quarter of 2010. This increase is primarily attributable to stronger performance across the majority of the Company's product lines and minimal contribution from EPG given the timing of our integration plan. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, excluding integration, acquisition and other charges, stock-based compensation provision, restructuring and impairment charges, gain on bargain purchase, divested operations or asset held for sale, loss on early extinguishment of debt, and loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes.
