Management Commentary
"We made definitive progress toward our strategic objectives in
the second quarter, delivering growth in three out of four business
lines," said Suri Suriyakumar,
Chairman, President and CEO of ARC Document Solutions. "Traditional
project printing was the primary driver of sales as we continued to
protect print revenues, and when coupled with our constant focus on
managing costs, we added seventy basis points of improvement to our
consolidated gross margin. With half of the year ahead of us, we
have already achieved the lower end of our previously-announced
annual EPS forecast."
"While the print market will continue to challenge us, we feel
well-positioned to gain market share as our investments in sales
and marketing take hold," said Mr. Suriyakumar. "Considering our
current performance and our expectations for the remainder of the
year, we're pleased to upgrade to our annual forecast, bringing
ARC's annual EPS range to 12 to 17
cents."
"In the face of a shrinking print market, we were gratified to
deliver year-over-year growth for the first time in three years,
especially with the improvements in gross margin and operating cash
flows that came with it," said Jorge
Avalos, Chief Financial Officer. "The exceptional increase
in medical costs we predicted for the second quarter had a negative
impact of $1.4 million on EBITDA and
they decreased earnings per share by 2.1
cents, but despite these pressures, our results for the
quarter were solid and we expect them to be sustainable for the
balance of the year."
2018 Second Quarter Supplemental Information:
Net sales were $104.2 million, a
1.9% increase compared to the second quarter of 2017.
Days sales outstanding were 52 in Q2 2018 and 52 in Q2 2017.
Architectural, engineering, construction and building
owner/operators (AEC/O) customers comprised approximately 79% of
our total net sales, while customers outside of construction made
up approximately 21% of our total net sales.
Total number of MPS locations at the end of the second quarter
has grown to approximately 10,390, a net gain of approximately 560
locations over Q2 2017.
Adjusted EBITDA excludes loss on extinguishment and modification
of debt and stock-based compensation expense.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
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.
EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization.
We have presented 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 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. We use EBITDA to compare the performance of our operating
segments and to measure performance for determining
consolidated-level compensation. In addition, we use EBITDA to
evaluate potential acquisitions and potential capital
expenditures.
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, 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 EBITDA and related ratios only as
supplements.
Our presentation of adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA 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 attributable
to ARC and adjusted earnings per share attributable to ARC
shareholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018
and 2017 to reflect the exclusion of loss on extinguishment and
modification of debt 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 six months ended June 30,
2018 and 2017.
We have presented adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 to exclude loss on extinguishment
and modification of debt and stock-based compensation expense. The
adjustment of EBITDA for these items 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.
