Strong operational performance highlighted by record financial results across a number of metrics STAMFORD, Conn., March 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cenveo, Inc. (NYSE: CVO) today announced results for the three months and full year ended January 3, 2009. (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20070618/CENVEOLOGO) For the fourth quarter ended January 3, 2009, net sales were $517.2 million compared to $584.4 million for the same period in the previous year. For the quarter ended January 3, 2009, the Company recorded a net loss of $309.6 million, or ($5.71) per share, compared to net income of $18.8 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, in the quarter ended December 29, 2007. The fourth quarter 2008 results include non-cash goodwill impairment charges of $372.8 million resulting from reductions in the fair value of reporting units in connection with the Company's annual impairment test. On a non-GAAP basis, income from continuing operation was $26.0 million, or $0.48 per diluted share. Non-GAAP income from continuing operations excludes restructuring, impairment and other charges, integration, acquisition and other charges, stock-based compensation provision, (gain) loss on early extinguishment of debt, (gain) loss on sale of non-strategic business and income tax expense (benefit). A reconciliation of income from continuing operations to non-GAAP income from continuing operations for these adjustments is presented in the attached tables. Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2008 was $75.1 million. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, excluding integration, acquisition and other charges, stock-based compensation provision, restructuring, impairment and other charges, (gain) loss on early extinguishment of debt, (gain) loss on sale of non-strategic business and income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes. An explanation of the Company's use of Adjusted EBITDA is detailed below and a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA is provided in the attached tables. For the year ended January 3, 2009, net sales increased 2.5% to $2.1 billion compared to $2.0 billion in the previous year. For the year ended January 3, 2009, the Company recorded a net loss of $298.0 million, or ($5.53) per diluted share, compared to net income of $40.8 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, in the year ended December 29, 2007. The 2008 results include non-cash goodwill impairment charges of $372.8 million. On a non-GAAP basis, income from continuing operations was $88.1 million, or $1.63 per diluted share, for the year ended January 3, 2009. Adjusted EBITDA for the full year of 2008 was $280.3 million. In 2008 the Company generated cash flows from continuing operations of $209.8 million compared to $86.2 million in 2007, representing a 143.4% increase. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company repurchased an aggregate $48.5 million principal amount of its outstanding 7 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 and its 8 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 (collectively the "Notes"). In connection with these repurchases of the Notes, the Company recognized a gain of approximately $18.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2008, representing the difference between the net carrying amount and the total repurchase price of the Notes. Financial highlights: -- For the full year cash flow from continuing operations was $209.8 million, up $123.6 million from the full year of 2007 -- Non-GAAP operating income margin was 9.8% for the full year -- Total debt decreased $138.3 million for 2008 and $69.6 million in the quarter to $1.3 billion -- At the end of the quarter, approximately 90% of the Company's debt was subject to fixed interest rates resulting in a quarterly weighted interest rate of 7.3% Robert G. Burton, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated: "Despite the most challenging economic and market conditions that I have encountered in my entire business career, Cenveo was able to deliver strong operational performance highlighted by record financial results across a number of key metrics. By matching our costs with our revenue stream, and focusing on our customers' needs, we were able to grow our revenues 2.5%, deliver non-GAAP operating margin of 9.8%, and increased our Adjusted EBITDA to $280.3 million. We continue to generate strong cash flow from operations. For the full year of 2008, we generated $209.8 million of cash flows from continuing operations, up 143.4% from the same period last year. In 2008, we were able to pay down almost $140 million in debt, while at the same time growing the Company through small strategic acquisitions and prudent investments of capital. These strong operating results and market share gains have shown that our operational game plan is working and demonstrates that our business can outperform the competition even in the most difficult of times." Capital Structure: "We are in compliance with all of our debt covenants, as we ended 2008, with a reasonable level of debt-covenant cushion. Our management team is implementing a game plan to allow the Company to remain in compliance with our covenants going forward. However after much deliberation, and given the unprecedented uncertainty in the financial markets coupled with limited sales visibility, we have decided that exploring an amendment to our credit agreement is a prudent course of action. We are currently in discussions with our lead bank about modifying the terms of our credit facility to give the Company flexibility during this period of unprecedented economic uncertainty and volatility." Mr. Burton concluded: "One of my primary responsibilities is to build an exceptional company - well-managed, well-equipped to thrive in any environment, regardless of economic or industry conditions. I believe we are well on our way to achieving that goal. With that being said and given the economic realities of today, we will use financial discipline to focus on rightsizing our cost and manufacturing platform. We continue to strive to be a low-cost provider of products and services, while at the same time delivering for our customers. We will also continue to invest in our diverse and specialized product offerings which focus on the custom and short-run end markets. Our goal for these markets remains the same: we want to be in the strongest competitive position in each of our niche markets and to grow and expand our diversified customer base. These factors combined with our seasoned management team that understands today's industry dynamics will allow us to better weather this storm than the competition. In 2009, we are capitalizing on these strengths and look to grow in our markets when our competition is unable to do so."

These Non-GAAP financial measures are defined herein, and should be read in conjunction with GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP income from operations excludes integration, acquisition and other charges, stock based compensation provision and restructuring, impairment and other charges. A reconciliation of operating income to Non-GAAP income from operations is presented in the attached tables. These Non-GAAP financial measures are not presented as an alternative to cash flow from operations, as a measure of our liquidity or as an alternative to reported net income 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 and non-GAAP operating income 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 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.

Statements made in this release, other than those concerning historical financial information, may be considered "forward-looking statements," which are based upon current expectations and involve a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements. In view of such uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Such statements speak only as of the date of this release, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made herein. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from management's expectations include, without limitation: (1) our substantial indebtedness impairing our financial condition and limiting our ability to incur additional debt; (2) the terms of our indebtedness imposing significant restrictions on our operating and financial flexibility; (3) the potential to incur additional indebtedness, exacerbating the above factors; (4) cross default provisions in our indebtedness, which could cause all of our debt to become due and payable as a result of a default under an unrelated debt instrument; (5) our ability to successfully integrate acquisitions; (6) intense competition in our industry; (7) the general absence of long-term customer agreements in our industry, subjecting our business to fluctuations; (8) factors affecting the U.S. postal services impacting demand for our products; (9) increases in paper costs and decreases in its availability; (10) the availability of the Internet and other electronic media affecting demand for our products; (11) our labor relations; (12) compliance with environmental rules and regulations; (13) dependence on key management personnel; and (14) general economic, business and labor conditions. This list of factors is not exhaustive, and new factors may emerge or changes to the foregoing factors may occur that would impact the Company's business.
