Financial Highlights:

Management Commentary:
"We continue to make significant progress in expanding our presence among leading AEC companies as evidenced by the 7.4% year-over-year sales increase in our facilities management and managed print services line during the second quarter, and our healthy sales pipeline with Global Solutions," said K. "Suri" Suriyakumar, Chairman, President and CEO of ARC. "Our MPS offering combined with our off-site services, cloud-based printing and technology solutions, gives these larger companies a compelling reason to select ARC as a single source for their document workflow. In addition, we are making progress in transforming the company to a true technology-enabled document solutions provider as we make significant changes to our internal processes and procedures, and market more effectively to our external audience."
"Macroeconomic conditions remain difficult in our traditional markets, and unfortunately, we don't expect improvement through the end of the year," Mr. Suriyakumar continued. "In the meantime we are aggressively investing in positioning the company for a recovery while maintaining the operating cash flows required to comfortably meet our financial obligations."
CFO John Toth commented, "We see opportunity for significant future returns on investments made today in our non-traditional business lines. We continue to closely manage our business as evidenced by our stable adjusted EBITDA margins -- 15.8% for the first six months of the year vs. 15.3% for the same period last year -- our EPS performance in Q2, and the zero balance of our senior secured revolver. With the increased investment in our business combined with the uncertain macroeconomic outlook for the balance of the year, we think it is prudent to revise downward our EPS and cash flow from operations forecasts."
Outlook:
Due to the volatility and overall uncertainty in the macroeconomic forecast for the rest of 2012, ARC management revised its expectation of the private non-residential construction activity for the remainder of the year. It now forecasts continued hesitation in the funding and execution of new construction projects.
As a result, ARC is revising its projection of adjusted earnings per share for 2012 to be in the range of ($0.03) to $0.03 on a fully-diluted basis from its previous forecast of a range of $0.05 to $0.10, and annual cash flow from operating activities to be in the range of $35 million to $45 million, down from a range of $40 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. 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, we believe 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:
- 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, 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 2012 second quarter report on Form 10-Q. Additionally, please refer to our 2011 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 six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 to reflect the exclusion of goodwill impairment charge, the amortization impact related specifically 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 six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. We believe these charges were the result of our capital restructuring, or other items which are not indicative of our actual operating performance.
We presented adjusted EBITDA in the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 to exclude stock-based compensation expense of $0.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively. We presented adjusted EBITDA in the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 to exclude the non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $23.3 million (which was taken at the end of the second quarter), and stock-based compensation expense of $1.8 million and $3.3 million, respectively. This presentation 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.
