The Company generated net sales of $455.6 million for the first quarter of 2012, compared to $477.0 million in the first quarter of 2011. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to lower sales in our print and envelope product lines as a result of customer product launches in the first quarter of 2011 that did not repeat in the first quarter of 2012 and lower direct mail volumes from our financial services customers. The Company expects the direct mail market to strengthen in the second half of 2012. The Company's custom label and specialty packaging products both displayed strong growth relating to customer wins and sales channel expansion.

Operating income was $14.2 million in the first quarter of 2012, compared to $19.3 million in the first quarter of 2011. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to increased restructuring, impairment and other charges as a result of a print plant closure and other cost savings actions executed in the first quarter of 2012, offset in part by our lower cost structure due to the integration of our Envelope Product Group ("EPG") acquisition and lower compensation related expenses. Non-GAAP operating income was $31.6 million in the first quarter of 2012, compared to $31.5 million in the first quarter of 2011. Non-GAAP operating income excludes integration, acquisition and other charges, stock-based compensation provision, restructuring, impairment and other charges.

In the first quarter of 2012, the Company had a net loss of $27.2 million, or $0.43 per share, compared to net income of $2.8 million, or $0.04 per share in the first quarter of 2011. The results in the first quarter of 2012 include a loss on early extinguishment of debt, net of $10.6 million related to our recent debt refinancing and restructuring, impairment and other charges of $14.0 million as a result of a print plant closure and other cost savings actions executed in the first quarter of 2012, while the results in the first quarter of 2011 included a preliminary bargain purchase gain of $10.5 million related to the EPG acquisition and restructuring, impairment and other charges of $3.8 million. On a Non-GAAP basis, income from continuing operations was $3.3 million, or $0.04 per share, in the first quarter of 2012 as compared to $1.1 million, or $0.02 per share, in the first quarter of 2012. Non-GAAP income (loss) from continuing operations excludes integration, acquisition and other charges, stock-based compensation provision, restructuring, impairment and other charges, gain on bargain purchase, loss on early extinguishment of debt, net and adjusts income taxes to reflect an estimated cash tax rate. A reconciliation of (loss) income from continuing operations to Non-GAAP income from continuing operations is presented in the attached tables.

Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2012 was $47.0 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2011 of $47.4 million. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, integration, acquisition and other charges, stock-based compensation provision, restructuring, impairment and other charges, gain on bargain purchase, loss on early extinguishment of debt, net and (loss) income from discontinued operations, net of taxes.

Robert G. Burton, Sr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated:

"We are satisfied with our first quarter results, as our operations performed in line with expectations. We also accomplished several key initiatives during the quarter. We completed the dispositions of two non-core businesses allowing us to focus on our core label, specialty packaging, envelope, print and content management operations. During the quarter, we also completed a refinancing, which extends the majority of our near term debt out to 2017."

"Operationally, our label and packaging products produced another solid performance led by strong revenue growth in our custom products driven by investments in our sales channels and increased product offerings.  Our envelope operations delivered expected revenue and operational results with the timing of customer revenues combined with seasonal trends offsetting gains in market share and operational improvements resulting from our integration of EPG. We expect the direct mail market to strengthen in the second half of 2012 with increased volume from our financial services customers. Our print products performed as expected as well with weakness in the publishing industry and in changes in the timing of customer purchases, offset by continued strength in our content management business."  

Mr. Burton concluded:

"As we exit the first quarter, 2012 is progressing in line with our full year expectations. We remain focused on continuing to win market share and maintaining our cost structure to drive free cash flow and to pay down debt. The debt markets remain open and we will opportunistically look to address the near term portion of our capital structure. Given recent sales momentum and our focus on costs, we remain on track to deliver the full year net sales, free cash flow, and adjusted EBITDA targets that are consistent with our previous guidance."

The Company also announced the promotion of Scott J. Goodwin to Chief Accounting Officer. Mr. Goodwin previously held the positions of Assistant Corporate Controller and Corporate Controller for the Company. Prior to joining Cenveo, Mr. Goodwin spent seven years in public accounting at Deloitte & Touche, LLP. He is a CPA and received his degree in accounting from The Citadel. He will continue to report to Mark S. Hiltwein, Chief Financial Officer.

Conference Call:

Cenveo will host a conference call tomorrow, Thursday, May 10, 2012 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time.  The conference call will be available via webcast, which can be accessed via the Internet at www.cenveo.com.

In addition to results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP"), included in this release are certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP income from continuing operations, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating income margin, and free cash flow. Non-GAAP operating income is defined as operating income excluding integration, acquisition and other charges, stock-based compensation provision, and restructuring, impairment and other charges. Non-GAAP operating income margin is calculated by dividing non-GAAP operating income into net sales.  Free cash flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less cash interest, cash taxes, and net capital expenditures. These non-GAAP financial measures as defined herein, and should be read in conjunction with GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of (loss) income from continuing operations to non-GAAP income from continuing operations and operating (loss) income to non-GAAP operating income is presented in the attached tables. These non-GAAP financial measures are not presented as an alternative to cash flows from continuing operations, as a measure of our liquidity or as an alternative to reported net loss as an indicator of our operating performance.  The non-GAAP financial measures as used herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by competitors. 

We believe the use of Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP income from continuing operations, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating income margin and free cash flow along with GAAP financial measures enhances the understanding of our operating results and may be useful to investors in comparing our operating performance with that of our competitors and estimating our enterprise value.  Adjusted EBITDA is also a useful tool in evaluating the core operating results of the Company given the significant variation that can result from, for example, the timing of capital expenditures, the amount of intangible assets recorded or the differences in assets' lives.  We also use Adjusted EBITDA internally to evaluate the operating performance of our segments, to allocate resources and capital to such segments, to measure performance for incentive compensation programs, and to evaluate future growth opportunities.  The non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release are reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in the tables included herein.
