Management Commentary
“As we stated earlier in the year, our transformation effort is progressing,” said K. “Suri” Suriyakumar, Chairman, CEO and President of ARC Document Solutions. “We continue to protect our print revenues while working to accelerate our sales in technology services. We expect these efforts will continue throughout the year. Despite the disruptions caused by our sales team reconfiguration that started in the second half of last year, and shrinking print volumes, we generated strong cash flows and accelerated the reduction of our senior debt.”
“We are maintaining our forecast for 2017, continuing to take into account that the first half of the year will likely remain muted and prudent investments in both print and technology are necessary to drive new growth. Stability in cash generation remains a priority, and the company’s financial health remains sound. We are very confident that our strong cash flows and conservative capital structure will sustain us through our transition,” Mr. Suriyakumar said.
“Sales performance during the period was similar to what we generated in 2016, but we increased cash flows from operations by $1.6 million on a year-over-year basis,” said Jorge Avalos, Chief Financial Officer of ARC Document Solutions. “As such, we used $7 million in excess cash to reduce our senior debt and maintain a healthy leverage ratio of 2.5x. As previously noted, I expect our cash generation performance to remain strong for the remainder of the year.”
2017 First Quarter Supplemental Information:
Net sales were $98.7 million, a 4.7% decrease compared to the first quarter of 2016.
Days sales outstanding in Q1 2017 were 54, compared to 53 days in Q1 2016.
Architectural, engineering, construction and building owner/operators (AEC/O) customers comprised approximately 78% of our total net sales, while customers outside of construction made up approximately 22% of our total net sales.
Total number of MPS locations at the end of the first quarter has grown to approximately 9,680, a net gain of approximately 630 locations over Q1 2016.
Adjusted EBITDA excludes loss on extinguishment of debt, stock-based compensation expense, and restructuring expense.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
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.
EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA margin is a non-GAAP measure calculated by dividing EBITDA by net sales.
We have presented 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 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. We use EBITDA to compare the performance of our operating segments and to measure performance for determining consolidated-level compensation. In addition, we use EBITDA to evaluate potential acquisitions and potential capital expenditures.
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, 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 EBITDA and related ratios only as supplements.
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 attributable to ARC and adjusted earnings per share attributable to ARC shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 to reflect the exclusion of loss on extinguishment of debt, restructuring expense, and changes in the valuation allowances related to certain deferred tax assets and other discrete tax items. This presentation facilitates a meaningful comparison of our operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. We believe these charges were the result of the then current macroeconomic environment, our capital restructuring, or other items which are not indicative of our actual operating performance.
We have presented adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 to exclude loss on extinguishment of debt, restructuring expense and stock-based compensation 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.
