ARC REPORTS RESULTS FOR THIRD QUARTER 2011

WALNUT CREEK, California (Nov 2, 2011) – ARC (NYSE:ARC), one of the nation’s leading document solutions companies, today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011.

“As we expected, the U.S. economy remained sluggish through the third quarter. In spite of a year-over-year sales drop of $4.6 million, we maintained a strong gross margin and generated healthy cash flow,” said K. “Suri” Suriyakumar, Chairman, President and CEO of ARC. “Meanwhile our efforts to grow sales in adjacent areas are starting to show meaningful results. Substantial MPS growth in the quarter, primarily from our Global Solutions customers, drove a 12.8% increase in our FM revenue category compared to the third quarter of 2010. It is also important to note that at the end of October we paid down to zero the outstanding balance on our revolving debt facility.”

Net revenue for the third quarter of 2011 was $104.8 million. ARC’s net loss for the third quarter was $41.8 million, or a loss of $0.92 per diluted share, primarily due to the recording of a goodwill impairment charge in the amount of $42.1 million. Excluding this and other non-cash charges, including the previously-disclosed accelerated amortization related to trade names and interest rate swap-related costs, adjusted net income for the second quarter was $1.1 million, or $0.02 per diluted share. The Company’s third quarter gross margin was 32.4%. Quarterly cash from operating activities for the period ending September 30, 2011 was $17.6 million.

Net revenue for the first nine months of 2011 was $320.9 million. The Company’s gross margin was 32.1% for the same period. ARC’s net loss for the first nine months of 2011 was $130.0 million, or a loss of $2.87 per diluted share, caused primarily by the non-cash charges mentioned above. Excluding these non-cash charges, ARC’s adjusted net loss for the first nine months of 2011 was $0.8 million, or a loss of $0.02 per diluted share. Cash from operating activities for the same period was $29.5 million.

Goodwill Impairment

In the third quarter, ARC recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $42.1 million. The main factor driving this goodwill impairment charge was an increase in the Company’s reporting units’ weighted average cost of capital (WACC). This change in WACC was due, in part, to increased uncertainty in the overall economy and a decline in the price of our bonds (resulting in a higher yield) during the third quarter of this fiscal year. The Company will not be required to make any current or future cash expenditures as a result of the impairment.

Outlook

The Company reaffirmed its 2011 annual adjusted EPS forecast of $(0.02) to $0.05 on a fully-diluted basis and projected annual cash flow from operating activities in the range of $35 million to $50 million.

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. Amortization does not include $0.5 million and $3.8 million of stock-based compensation expense recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. Amortization does not include $1.5 million and $4.4 million of stock-based compensation expense recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. 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 present 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, 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 also use EBIT to measure performance for determining operating segment-level compensation and 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:

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 2011 third quarter report on Form 10-Q. Additionally, please refer to our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our presentation of adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA 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 (loss) attributable to ARC and adjusted earnings (loss) per share attributable to ARC shareholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 to reflect the exclusion of the goodwill impairment charge, amortization impact related to the change in useful lives of trade names, interest rate swap related costs, the valuation allowance 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 nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. 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 presented adjusted EBITDA in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 to exclude the non-cash goodwill impairment charges of $42.1 million and $65.4 million, respectively, and stock-based compensation expense of $0.5 million and $3.8 million, respectively. We presented adjusted EBITDA in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 to exclude the non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $38.3 million and stock-based compensation expense of $1.5 million and $4.4 million, respectively. The exclusion of the goodwill impairment charges and stock-based compensation expense to arrive at adjusted EBITDA is consistent with the definition of adjusted EBITDA in our previous and current credit agreements; therefore, we believe this information is useful to investors in assessing our ability to meet our debt covenants.
