ACCO BRANDS CORPORATION REPORTS
FIRST QUARTER 2011 RESULTS
First Quarter 2011 Highlights
| • | Reported sales flat to prior year |
| • | Earnings per share from continuing operations of $(0.15) |
| • | Earnings per share using a normalized effective tax rate of 30% and including severance and related costs were $(0.04) |
LINCOLNSHIRE, ILLINOIS, April 27, 2011 – ACCO Brands Corporation (NYSE: ABD), a world leader in select categories of branded office products, today reported its first quarter results for the period ended March 31, 2011.
“We remain on track to meet our financial objectives for the year,” said Robert J. Keller, chairman and chief executive officer. “In the first quarter, we made significant investments designed to help grow our customers’ businesses and to rationalize our European operations. Both will pay dividends as 2011 progresses.”
First Quarter Results
Net sales were essentially flat at $310.3 million, compared to $310.8 million in the prior-year quarter. Volume decreased 4%. First quarter loss from continuing operations was $8.1 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $4.5 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in the prior-year quarter. Using a normalized effective tax rate of 30%, the adjusted loss from continuing operations was $2.3 million, or $(0.04) per share, including $3.9 million of severance and related costs associated with the rationalization of the company’s European operations, compared to $1.6 million, or $0.03 per share in the prior-year period.
Reported first quarter operating income decreased to $14.7 million, from $21.6 million in the prior-year quarter. In addition to the rationalization costs in Europe, the decline in operating profit was principally due to lower volume. EBITDA decreased to $25.5 million, from EBITDA of $33.1 million in the prior year. The company ended the quarter, the seasonal low point of its cash flow cycle, with $19.9 million of cash and no borrowings on its revolving credit facility.
Business Segment Highlights
ACCO Brands Americas
ACCO Brands Americas first quarter net sales decreased 4% to $152.2 million, from $158.6 million in the prior-year quarter. Volume declined 7%, primarily due to certain customers reducing inventory and purchasing below their point of sale levels. Pricing and foreign currency translation each impacted sales favorably by 1%.
1
ACCO Brands Americas first quarter operating income was $5.5 million, compared to $8.3 million in the prior-year quarter. Operating margin decreased to 3.6% from 5.2% primarily due to deleveraging from lower sales volume and higher go-to-market and promotional spending.
ACCO Brands International
ACCO Brands International net sales increased 4% to $116.8 million, compared to $112.5 million in the prior-year quarter. Foreign currency translation impacted sales favorably by 5%. Volume decreased 2% due to inventory reductions by certain customers.
ACCO Brands International reported operating income of $5.5 million, compared to $10.2 million in the prior-year quarter. Operating margin declined to 4.7% from 9.1% primarily due to $3.9 million of severance and related costs associated with the rationalization of its European operations, sales mix and the flow through of increased commodity costs.
Computer Products Group
Computer Products net sales increased 4% to $41.3 million, compared to $39.7 million in the prior-year quarter. Volume increased 1% due to new products and growth in the U.S. Pricing and product mix impacted sales favorably by 2% and foreign currency translation had a favorable impact of 1%.
Computer Products operating income was $9.3 million, compared to $8.1 million in the prior-year quarter. Operating margin expanded to 22.5% from 20.4% due to lower selling, general and administrative expenses.
Business Outlook
The company believes that the business environment will continue to be challenging; however, it still expects 2011 sales to increase between 2-4% before the effects of foreign currency.
Primarily in the first half of 2011, the company anticipates incurring approximately $6 million of cash costs related to the rationalization of its European operations, which is expected to result in approximately $5 million in annualized cost savings in 2011, and approximately $6.5 million in annualized savings when fully realized.
Based on expected improvements in gross margin, which will be partially offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, the company continues to expect to grow diluted earnings per share between 20% and 30% on a normalized tax rate basis.
Targeted free cash flow, after interest, taxes and capital expenditures, is expected to be approximately $50-60 million.
Webcast
At 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time today, ACCO Brands Corporation will host a conference call to discuss the company’s results. The call will be broadcast live via webcast. The webcast can be accessed through the Investor Relations section of www.accobrands.com. The webcast will be in listen-only mode and will be available for replay for one month following the event.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
“Adjusted” results exclude all unusual tax items. Adjusted supplemental EBITDA from continuing operations excludes other non-operating items, including other income/expense and stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted results and supplemental EBITDA from continuing operations are non-GAAP measures. There could be limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as compared to the use of the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Management uses the adjusted measures to determine the returns generated by its operating segments and to evaluate and identify cost-reduction initiatives. Management believes these measures provide investors with helpful supplemental information regarding the underlying performance of the company from year to year. These measures may be inconsistent with measures presented by other companies.

| (A) | The Company has incurred significant operating losses in several jurisdictions in prior periods. In accordance with GAAP, tax valuation allowances have been recorded on certain of the Company’s deferred tax assets. As a result, the operating results in these locations have recorded no tax benefit or expense, which results in a high effective tax rate for the current period. Assuming all the locations become profitable in the future and valuation allowances were reversed, the Company’s ongoing effective tax rate would approximate 30%. This estimated long-term rate will be subject to variations from the mix of earnings in the Company’s operating jurisdictions. |
