Quad/Graphics Reports First Quarter 2011 Results and Declares a Cash Dividend

SUSSEX, WI, May 10, 2011 — Quad/Graphics, Inc. (NYSE: QUAD) (“Quad/Graphics” or the “Company”), today reported results for its first quarter ending March 31, 2011, and announced the initiation of a cash dividend. Unless otherwise noted, all comparisons are to pro forma measures that assume the July 2, 2010, acquisition of World Color Press Inc. (“Worldcolor”) was completed on January 1, 2010.

Summary:

·                  The Company announced its first cash dividend as a public company - a quarterly dividend of $0.20 per share, payable on June 10, 2011, to shareholders of record as of May 27, 2011, which equates to an annualized dividend of $0.80 per share.

·                  The Company’s first quarter 2011 net sales increased slightly to $1.1 billion, and first quarter 2011 Adjusted EBITDA increased slightly to $140.7 million.

·                  The Company continues to make significant progress on integration activities, announcing three additional plant closures since the beginning of the year for a total of 10 since the acquisition was closed and realizing a current net reduction of approximately 3,300 full-time equivalent employees.

“Our first quarter 2011 results were in line with our expectations,” said Joel Quadracci, Chairman, President & CEO of Quad/Graphics. “Both sales and Adjusted EBITDA increased slightly from the prior year. We attribute the increase in Adjusted EBITDA in large part to our ability to generate synergies, manage the frictional costs associated with the integration, and effectively deal with cost pressures associated with rising commodity prices. We achieved these results while also managing declines in Worldcolor sales and addressing ongoing industry pricing pressures.”

Mr. Quadracci also announced that Quad/Graphics is paying its first cash dividend as a public company. “We are pleased to declare a cash dividend sooner than we originally planned based on the Company’s confidence in the progress of the Worldcolor integration, our ability to generate strong, sustainable cash flows, and our ability to continue paying down debt,” he said. “All these factors put us in a sound financial position to provide this incremental return to our shareholders. Further, we’ll use our financial strength to continue supporting other important initiatives that drive long-term shareholder value, such as investing in profitable growth opportunities.”

As far as its integration activities, the Company continues to make significant progress, announcing three additional plant closures since the beginning of the year. “We are 10 months into a complex integration process that will take 24 months to complete, but already we have made a series of bold, well-planned moves to achieve cost savings and improve the overall efficiency and productivity of our platform, all while maintaining focus on serving our clients well,” Mr. Quadracci said. “We are impatient when it comes to achieving operational efficiencies and other cost savings, which is why we are moving swiftly on the integration as well as aggressively implementing Lean initiatives and deploying our own brand of ERP software tools to streamline workflow and

improve visibility.” To date, the Company has announced or completed 10 North American plant closures, including three announced since the beginning of 2011: St. Laurent, Quebec; Mt. Morris, Ill.; and Buffalo, N.Y. The impact of these and other restructuring actions will result in the closure of more than 5 million square feet of manufacturing, warehousing and office space, and a gross reduction of 5,000 employees. Currently, the Company has realized a net reduction of approximately 3,300 full-time equivalent employees.

Mr. Quadracci said the Company is balancing time spent on integration and productivity efforts with pursuing growth opportunities. “With the integration firmly on track, we are looking to where we grow from here — organically and through acquisitions, both here in the United States and abroad,” he said. “We are very disciplined in our approach to growth, taking great care to seek opportunities which we believe have the greatest likelihood of creating profitable growth and increasing shareholder value.”

John Fowler, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, reiterated that the quarter’s results met Company expectations. “Our sales increase was driven by increases in volumes from legacy Quad/Graphics as well as increases in paper and byproduct revenues,” he said. “Adjusted EBITDA of $140.7 million was slightly ahead of last year, and Adjusted EBITDA margin was 12.8%. We credit this to our ability to manage costs while also addressing declines in legacy Worldcolor volumes, lower contractual pricing inherited with the acquisition, and ongoing pricing headwinds due to overcapacity in the industry. As 2011 unfolds, we know we must maintain our focus on sustainable cost reduction while pursuing profitable growth opportunities to carry the Company forward. It’s important to note that Worldcolor had strong first and second quarters in 2010 created by cost reduction activities, primarily initiated during its bankruptcy, that were unsustainable. Given normal seasonality and the strength of Worldcolor’s first half of 2010, we expect to see improvement to period-over-period comparisons in the second half of the year.”

The Company reaffirmed its Adjusted EBITDA guidance for 2011. “We continue to anticipate full year 2011 Adjusted EBITDA to be slightly in excess of $700 million,” Mr. Fowler said. “We believe this number to be achievable, although we have a lot of work ahead of us this year. Our projection remains dependent on the competitive environment in the print market, our ability to manage the costs incurred during ongoing integration activities and the degree to which increasing commodity costs affect our cost structure as well as our customers. We remain confident in our ability to address current business realities while moving the business forward.”

Quad/Graphics continues its commitment to making strategic investments that strengthen its core competencies, including:

·                  A $15 million investment over the next several months to strengthen its Book platform in Martinsburg, W.Va. This investment is in addition to previously announced capital expenditures to enhance its book-component manufacturing capabilities in Leominster, Mass., as well as recent multimillion-dollar investments in digital press technology at the Company’s Fairfield, Pa., and Dubuque, Iowa, book facilities to meet publishers’ increasing demands for shorter runs.

·                  Investments in its Direct Mail platform as part of an ongoing $40 million capital spending plan to strengthen its data-through-delivery service offering for helping marketers drive top-line growth. Last month the Company’s Pewaukee, Wis., facility expanded its 1-to-1 direct mail customization capabilities

with the startup of a new press with sophisticated inline personalization. This high-speed press efficiently produces response-driven formats popular with today’s marketers and further fortifies the Company’s mission to redefine print as a key element of multichannel marketing campaigns.

·                  Ongoing investments in its Commercial and Specialty platform. The Company has expanded its Burlington, Wis., facility to accommodate additional state-of-the-art sheetfed printing presses and related equipment with advanced capabilities that will drive greater flexibility, quality, efficiency and reduced turnaround times for its clients. Complementing these capabilities is a lineup of digital and conventional web presses and comprehensive fulfillment services that support a wide range of quick-turn commercial products.

“We are focused on reinvesting in the platform to advance our capabilities so we can continue to meet and exceed our customers’ needs in a rapidly changing marketplace,” Mr. Quadracci said. “In terms of the overall business, we are focused on profitable growth and will remain very disciplined in our approach to ensure we make the right moves at the right time and for the right reasons. We believe this focus — along with our ability to effectively manage costs — will keep us successful, creating opportunities for employees, advancing our clients’ ability to succeed and creating increased value for our shareholders.”

Three Months

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, as reported net sales were $1,102.3 million compared to pro forma net sales of $1,095.6 million in the same period in 2010. As reported Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin were $140.7 million and 12.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to pro forma Adjusted EBITDA and pro forma Adjusted EBITDA margin of $140.2 million and 12.8% in the same period in 2010. As reported net sales were $1,102.3 million compared to as reported net sales of $403.6 million in the same period in 2010. On an as reported basis, Adjusted EBITDA was $140.7 million compared to $62.2 million in the same period in 2010.

As reported 2011 net loss attributable to common shareholders in the three months was $7.3 million, or $0.15 diluted loss per share, versus a net loss of $8.5 million or $0.30 diluted loss per share in the same period in 2010. The first quarter results include restructuring, impairment and transaction-related charges of $34.8 million and $6.3 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively. Excluding the effects of restructuring, impairment and transaction-related charges and utilizing a 47% first quarter effective tax rate in both periods, net earnings would have been $11.1 million or $0.24 diluted earnings per share in the three months ended March 31, 2011, versus net earnings of $0.1 million or $0.00 diluted earnings per share in the same period last year.

(1) Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were affected by the following restructuring, impairment and transaction-related charges:

(a)   Employee termination costs resulted from severance and benefits payments related to plant closures and various workforce reductions.

(b)   Transaction-related charges during the three months ended March 31, 2010 were primarily due to the acquisition of Worldcolor.

(c)   Integration costs during the three months ended March 31, 2011 resulted primarily from the integration of Worldcolor into Quad/Graphics, net of a $7.1 million gain on the collection of a previously written off note receivable related to the June 2008 sale of Worldcolor’s European operations. This non-recurring gain was excluded from our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA.

(d)   Other restructuring charges resulted from costs to maintain and exit idle facilities, as well as lease exit charges.
