Management Commentary
"As our strong earnings per share performance suggests, we experienced continued sales growth across all of our business lines, driven primarily by MPS and CDIM," said K. "Suri" Suriyakumar, Chairman, President and CEO of ARC Document Solutions. "We also saw notable increases in our AIM business, and stronger-than-usual quarterly performance in Equipment and Supplies sales out of China. Despite the growth in lower margin equipment and supplies sales during the period, we grew gross profit by more than four percent."

Mr. Suriyakumar continued, "Combined with our continued strength in cash generation, our second quarter sales performance reflects incremental, but steady progress in the adoption of our new business lines. While we are eager to accelerate sales growth, it is taking time to gain traction in our new product lines. Even as successes emerge, new accounts are not likely to contribute significantly to year-over-year growth in 2015, but rather to 2016 and beyond. We are confident that we can demonstrate the outstanding value of our new solutions over the next 12 to 18 months, and build momentum for the future."

Jorge Avalos, ARC Document Solutions' Chief Financial Officer said, "Sales growth and capital structure improvements both contributed to our strong earnings in the second quarter. Adjusted cash flow from operations of $16.9 million grew 7.6% year-over-year during the period, allowing us to double our mandatory principal payments on ARC's senior debt, further reducing the company's leverage ratio. Also, our initiatives to improve sales and marketing began demonstrating their value via impressive sales growth in AIM and in some of the digital services we sell as a part of our CDIM portfolio. We expect these strategic investments to continue to add value in future quarters."

2015 Second Quarter Supplemental Information:
Net sales were $113.4 million, a 4.0% increase compared to the second quarter of 2014.

Days sales outstanding in Q2 2015 were 54, compared to 52 days in Q2 2014.

AEC customers comprised approximately 77% of our total net sales, while non-AEC customers made up approximately 23% of our total net sales.

Total number of MPS contracts at the end of the second quarter was approximately 8,720, an increase of approximately 220 contracts from the end of 2014.

Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA net of loss on extinguishment of debt, the impact of trade secret litigation costs, stock-based compensation expense, and restructuring expense.

(1) On February 1, 2013, we filed a civil complaint against a competitor and a former employee in the Superior Court of California for Orange County, which alleged, among other claims, the misappropriation of ARC trade secrets; namely, proprietary customer lists that were used to communicate with ARC customers in an attempt to unfairly acquire their business. In prior litigation with the competitor based on related facts, in 2007 the competitor entered into a settlement agreement and stipulated judgment, which included an injunction. We instituted this suit to stop the defendant from using similar unfair business practices against us in the Southern California market. The case proceeded to trial in May 2014, and a jury verdict was entered for the defendants. In the first quarter of 2015, we entered into a settlement and paid the defendant. Legal fees associated with the litigation were recorded as selling, general and administrative expense.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
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 have presented 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 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 2015 second quarter report on Form 10-Q. Additionally, please refer to our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our presentation of adjusted net income, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted cash flows from operations 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 attributable to ARC and adjusted earnings per share attributable to ARC shareholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 to reflect the exclusion of loss on extinguishment of debt, restructuring expense, trade secret litigation costs, and changes in the valuation allowances related to certain deferred tax assets and other discrete tax items. We have presented adjusted cash flows from operating activities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 to reflect the exclusion of cash payments related to trade secret litigation costs and cash payments related to restructuring expenses. This presentation facilitates a meaningful comparison of our operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. 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 have presented adjusted EBITDA in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 to exclude loss on extinguishment of debt, trade secret litigation costs, stock-based compensation expense, and restructuring 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.
