SGK ANNOUNCES 2013 FOURTH-QUARTER AND FULL-YEAR RESULTS

Full-Year 2013 Operating Income Grew $55.2 million, Earnings Per Diluted Share From Continuing Operations Improved $1.41 and Debt Reduced by 30.2 Percent
 
 

Des Plaines, IL, March 5, 2014—Schawk, Inc. (NYSE: SGK), now marketed as SGK (the “Company”), a leading global brand development, activation and deployment company, reported fourth-quarter and full-year 2013 results. Income from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2013 was $5.8 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, versus a loss of $18.1 million, or a loss of $0.69 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2012. For the 2013 full year, income from continuing operations was $13.2 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $23.6 million, or a loss of $0.91 per diluted share, for the comparable prior-year period.

Improvement in income from continuing operations for the 2013 fourth-quarter and full-year periods included a decrease in multiemployer pension withdrawal expense of $31.7 million and $31.5 million for the fourth quarter and full year, respectively, related to the Company's decision in 2012 to completely withdraw from its remaining multiemployer pension plan within the United States.

Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $10.8 million compared to an operating loss of $26.5 million for the same quarter of 2012. For the full year of 2013, operating income was $24.2 million compared to an operating loss of $31.0 million in 2012, representing an improvement of $55.2 million.

On a non-GAAP basis, adjusting for financial impacts relating to the 2012 multiemployer pension withdrawal expense and certain other items further detailed in this release, 2013 fourth-quarter adjusted operating income was $13.2 million compared to $8.6 million in the prior-year period for an improvement of 53.4 percent. For the full-year 2013, adjusted operating income was $35.2 million compared to $23.7 million in 2012 for an improvement of 48.6 percent.

Adjusted income from continuing operations was $7.3 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to $3.7 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, during the same period of 2012. For the 2013 full year, adjusted income from continuing operations was $20.2 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, compared to $10.8 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, during the comparable prior-year period. Please refer to the tables at the end of this press release for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures.

Chief Executive Officer David A. Schawk commented, “During 2013, our profitability rose significantly as we further leveraged our operations, continued to align with client strategies and market trends and expanded our technological capabilities. The year-over-year improvement in adjusted operating income was $11.5 million, or 48.6 percent. Moreover, we reduced our total debt by $25.1 million, or 30.2 percent, during the year, primarily reflecting the improved cash flow from increased profitability and capital spending reductions on technology initiatives.
 
 
"Meantime, revenue grew 2.7 percent globally within our largest client channel, consumer packaged goods. Despite the continued challenging economic environment, our CPG revenue has grown for two consecutive years reflecting the investments we have made and continue to make in expanding our opportunities for long-term profitable revenue growth. However, our CPG revenue growth for 2013 was offset by continued declines in promotional activity with retail and advertising clients, which occurred primarily within the Americas segment. Our Europe segment and, in particular, our Asia Pacific segment continued to expand in 2013, benefiting from improved penetration in emerging markets, investments in expanding global capabilities, and client actions to consolidate spending with fewer marketing partners."
 
Consolidated Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2013
Consolidated net revenues in 2013 were $442.6 million compared to $441.3 million in 2012, an increase of approximately $1.4 million, or 0.3 percent. Year-over-year revenues were negatively impacted by changes in foreign currency translation rates of approximately $2.6 million, as the U.S. dollar increased in value relative to the local currencies of certain of the company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries. Excluding the negative impact of foreign currency translation changes, consolidated net revenues would have grown approximately $3.9 million, or 0.9 percent.

Consumer packaged goods (CPG) client revenue during 2013 was $384.1 million, or 86.8 percent of total net revenues, compared to $374.1 million in the same period of 2012, an increase of 2.7 percent, primarily due to greater product activity with brand development and deployment. Retail and advertising client revenue in 2013 was $58.5 million, or 13.2 percent of total revenues, a decrease of 12.9 percent, from $67.2 million during 2012, primarily driven by continued reductions in client promotional activity.

Cost of services (excluding depreciation and amortization) was $270.6 million in 2013, a decrease of approximately $9.3 million from $279.9 million in 2012 mainly due to cost reduction actions taken during 2012 and throughout 2013. As a percentage of revenue, 2013 cost of services (excluding depreciation and amortization) improved 230 basis points to 61.1 percent from 63.4 percent in the prior year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization) decreased $1.3 million to $118.7 million in 2013 from $120.0 million in 2012. Reductions in expenses were driven by the Company's cost reduction efforts implemented during 2012 and throughout 2013 and more than offset investments that the Company made to improve its opportunities for long-term revenue growth. As a percentage of revenue, 2013 selling, general and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization) improved 40 basis points to 26.8 percent from 27.2 percent in 2012.

Business and systems integration expenses related to the Company’s information technology and business process improvement initiative decreased $4.6 million to $7.5 million in 2013 from $12.1 million in 2012, as the Company’s investment in the system build phase was substantially complete.

Acquisition integration and restructuring expenses related to employee terminations and other associated costs arising from the Company’s continued focus on consolidating, reducing and re-aligning its work force and operations decreased from $5.3 million in 2012 to $1.8 million in 2013. The actions taken during 2013 are expected to result in annualized savings of approximately $6.4 million, with approximately $2.8 million realized during 2013.

Multiemployer pension withdrawal expense decreased $31.5 million during 2013 compared to the prior year, as expenses related to the Company's decision in 2012 to completely withdraw from its remaining multiemployer pension plan in the United States were not incurred in 2013.

Long-lived asset impairment expenses decreased by $3.8 million, to $0.5 million, in 2013 compared to the prior year, principally related to the write down in 2012 of customer relationship intangible assets at certain locations within the Americas and Europe segments, coupled with expenses associated with company-owned real estate that was written down to its estimated market value.

Operating income improved to $24.2 million in 2013 compared to a loss of $31.0 million in 2012 driven primarily by the absence of multiemployer pension withdrawal expense in 2013 as well as the aforementioned reduction in other expenses. Non-GAAP adjusted operating income was $35.2 million for 2013 compared to $23.7 million in the prior-year comparable period.

Tax expense was $6.9 million in 2013 compared to a benefit of $10.9 million during 2012, due primarily to the Company's improvement in year-over-year income from continuing operations.

Income from continuing operations was $13.2 million in 2013, or $0.50 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $23.6 million, or a loss of $0.91 per diluted share, in 2012. Non-GAAP adjusted income from continuing operations was $20.2 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, for 2013 compared to $10.8 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, on a comparable basis for the prior-year period.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the presentation of Management Adjusted EBITDA in this release, the Company has presented certain other non-GAAP measures in the attachment entitled “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures to GAAP.”  Management believes that the presentation of non-GAAP measures provides investors with greater transparency and supplemental data relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and provides more consistent insight into the performance of the Company’s core operations from period to period by showing the effects of certain non-operating items. These non-GAAP measures are reconciled to the closest GAAP measures on the schedules attached to this earnings release. The non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as alternatives to GAAP and may not be consistent with similar measures provided by other companies.

Safe Harbor Statement
Certain statements in this earnings release are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are subject to the safe harbor created thereby. These statements are made based upon current expectations and beliefs that are subject to risk and uncertainty. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements because of factors, such as, among other things, the strength of the United States economy in general and, specifically, market conditions for the consumer products industry in the U.S. and abroad; the level of demand for the Company’s services; unfavorable foreign exchange fluctuations; changes in or weak consumer confidence and consumer spending; loss of key management and operational personnel; the ability of the Company to implement its business strategy and cost reduction plans and to realize anticipated cost savings; the ability of the Company to comply with the financial covenants contained in its debt agreements and obtain waivers or amendments in the event of non-compliance; the ability of the Company to maintain an effective system of disclosure and internal controls and the discovery of any future control deficiencies or weaknesses, which may require substantial costs and resources to rectify; the stability of state, federal and foreign tax laws; the ability of the Company to identify and capitalize on industry trends and technological advances in the imaging industry; higher than anticipated costs or lower than anticipated benefits associated with the Company’s ongoing information technology and business process improvement initiative or unanticipated costs or difficulties associated with integrating acquired operations; higher than expected costs associated with compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; any impairment charges due to declines in the value of the Company’s fixed and intangible assets, including goodwill; the stability of political conditions in foreign countries in which the Company has production capabilities; terrorist attacks and the U.S. response to such attacks; as well as other factors detailed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company can give no assurance that the assumptions upon which such forward-looking statements are based will prove to have been correct, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. The Company assumes no obligation to update publicly any of these statements in light of future events.
 
The discussion of the Company’s financial results within this earnings release should be read and considered in context of the Company’s most recent Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Use of Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA for covenant compliance, and Management adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA, as presented within this release, is defined as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and other certain non-cash items.  Adjusted EBITDA for covenant compliance, as defined in the Company’s current debt agreements, is defined as Adjusted EBITDA excluding certain items, including items that are generally considered non-operating, as permitted under the Company’s current revolving credit facility, and is used by management to gauge its ongoing compliance with the Company’s principal debt covenants, as well as pricing on its revolving credit facility.  Management adjusted EBITDA is used to evaluate the core operating activities of the Company from period to period.  None of the measures presented above represent cash flows from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles, should not be considered as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operations as an indicator of our operating performance, and are not

indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs.  These measures also may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies or EBITDA as defined under guidance from the Securities and Exchange Commission.
