(firmenpresse) - WALNUT CREEK, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 11/06/13 -- ARC Document Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: ARC), the nation's leading document solutions provider for the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry, today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013.
Quarterly revenue grew year-over-year for first time in five years
Q3 adjusted earnings per share of $0.02 vs. $(0.04) in Q3 2012
Gross margin in Q3 of 32.5%; year-over-year increase of 310 basis points
Q3 Adjusted EBITDA margin of 16.3%; year-over-year increase of 320 basis points
YTD cash flow from operations of $40.0 million vs. $30.9 million for the same period last year
Maintains 2013 fully-diluted annual adjusted earnings per share forecast to be in the range $0.06 to $0.09 and maintains projected 2013 annual cash provided by operating activities to be in the range of $38-$45 million
"We're very happy to have achieved year-over-year organic growth in the third quarter," said K. "Suri" Suriyakumar, Chairman, President and CEO of ARC Document Solutions, Inc. "After five long years of an unprecedented downturn in the industry, it's exciting to see our sales trend in a positive direction again."
"While the non-residential segment of our business has yet to recover, our impressive performance is attributable to the excellent execution of the management team," Mr. Suriyakumar continued. "On a year-over-year basis we have significantly improved our gross margins, and by positioning ourselves as a document solutions provider, we have dramatically expanded our addressable market. Sales of onsite services are now the largest segment of our business, surpassing our traditional reprographics line for the second quarter in a row, we've continued to receive recognition for our innovation in managed print services, and our color services sales have improved year-over-year. We intend to build on these strong performance trends in 2014 as our markets pick up steam."
"We are continuing to make progress expanding our margins, increasing our cashflow, and changing our capital structure -- the very things we promised to do in the fourth quarter of 2012," said John Toth, ARC Document Solution's Chief Financial Officer. "Adjusted EBITDA margin for the quarter improved by 320 basis points from a year ago, our cash position improved 21% year-over-year even after $11 million of cash outlays for bond repurchases and restructuring payments during the period, and we generated an increase of 51% in free cash flow over the same period last year."
Mr. Toth continued, "Thanks to the seven million dollar re-purchase of our bonds early in the third quarter and stronger margin performance, we've also made significant progress on our debt-to-EBITDA ratio which is now 3.3 as compared to 3.6 in the second quarter. We're in an excellent position to end the year with strength and momentum to carry us forward in 2014."
Net sales were $101.3 million, a 2% increase compared to the third quarter of 2012.
Days sales outstanding in Q3 2013 were 52, which were consistent with 52 days in Q3 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 7,500, a gain of nearly 200 contracts in Q3 2013.
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.
ARC Document Solutions maintained its annual adjusted earnings per share forecast for 2013 to be in the range of $0.06 to $0.09 on a fully-diluted basis, and its annual cash flow provided by operations to be in the range of $38 million to $45 million.

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. For more information, see our interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes on our 2013 third quarter report on Form 10-Q. Additionally, please refer to our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
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.
Specifically, we have presented adjusted net income (loss) attributable to ARC and adjusted earnings (loss) per share attributable to ARC shareholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 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 nine months ended September 30, 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 nine months ended September 30, 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.
