Consolidated Graphics Reports Financial Results for the Quarter Ended June 2011

Consolidated Graphics, Inc. announced Wednesday financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Year-over-Year Quarterly Highlights:

Revenue increased 2.8% to $243.4 million

Adjusted Operating Income was $8.9 million, or 3.7% of revenues

Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share were $.43

Revenue for the June quarter increased 2.8% to $243.4 million, compared to the prior year quarter. The higher revenues resulted from 1.5% growth in same-store sales, excluding election-related business, and the impact of acquisitions, partially offset by lower election-related business. Adjusted Operating Income for the June 2011 quarter was $8.9 million or 3.7% of revenue, compared to $9.7 million or 4.1% of revenue last year. Adjusted Net Income was $4.9 million and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share were $.43 in both the June 2011 and June 2010 quarters.

Operating income was $3.6 million during the June 2011 quarter and included $4.6 million in expenses resulting from the withdrawal from certain multi-employer pension plans. Operating income during the June 2010 quarter was $12.9 million and included $5.2 million in income resulting from the settlement of litigation, partially offset by a $1.0 million charge for the cost of withdrawing from a multi-employer pension plan. Net income for the June 2011 quarter was $1.6 million or $.14 diluted earnings per share, compared to $6.8 million or $.59 diluted earnings per share last year.

Joe R. Davis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Consolidated Graphics, commented, "We grew sales and maintained profitability in a non-election quarter when we typically experience our lowest seasonal demand, and at the same time, increased our investment in the technology and innovation that differentiates our value proposition. As the year progresses, we will continue to invest in our best-in-class solutions, manage our costs, and acquire good assets to grow sales and increase profitability going forward."

Mr. Davis concluded, "Based on current market conditions and the usual seasonal improvements, we expect the September quarter's revenue to be in the range of $262 - $272 million which assumes year-over-year same-store sales growth of up to 5%, as well as incremental revenue from current year acquisitions and lower election-related business. We also expect Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share in the September 2011 quarter, excluding the estimated impact of lower election-related business, to improve compared to the same quarter of the prior year."
