Management Commentary

"I am pleased to announce another successful quarter," said Suri Suriyakumar, Chairman, President and CEO of ARC Document Solutions. "As I've mentioned previously this year, we continue to make steady progress toward our strategic objectives to protect print revenues in spite of the market's inherent challenges, while investing in technology initiatives that further strengthen our position in the construction and real estate space. Our decision to invest in the business last year has paid solid dividends, and the print market and its use of technology continues to evolve in our favor. We have strengthened our revenue base and expanded our share in most of the major markets where we operate."

"These achievements, combined with our relentless focus on managing costs, have allowed us to deliver strong gross margins and a meaningful increase in EBITDA during the quarter. Our performance has also driven a gratifying improvement in earnings per share, as well as an upgrade in our annual forecast for the second time this year," Mr. Suriyakumar said. "We expect ARC's annual EPS to be in the range of 15 to 18 cents, and adjusted EBITDA to end the year in the range of $52 to $55 million."

"ARC delivered strong financial performance despite increased medical costs compared to the prior year," said Jorge Avalos, Chief Financial Officer of ARC Document Solutions. "As expected, this year's self-insurance costs began to moderate as our stop-loss insurance took effect, but the company still had to overcome medical claim costs that were approximately $600,000 higher than they were in 2017. It's a testament to our performance during the quarter that we still delivered a year-over-year increase of more than $2 million to our adjusted EBITDA. We are also affirming our annual forecast for cash flows from operations, having generated over $30 million year-to-date, and with quarterly trends in line with our expectations."

2018 Third Quarter Supplemental Information:

Net sales were $100.5 million, a 4.2% increase compared to the third quarter of 2017.

Days sales outstanding were 56 in Q3 2018 and 55 in Q3 2017.

Architectural, engineering, construction and building owner/operators (AEC/O) customers comprised approximately 79% of our total net sales, while customers outside of construction made up approximately 21% of our total net sales.

Total number of MPS locations at the end of the third quarter has grown to approximately 10,500, a net gain of approximately 500 locations over Q3 2017.

Adjusted EBITDA excludes goodwill impairment, loss on extinguishment and modification of debt, and stock-based compensation 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.

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 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 to reflect the exclusion of the goodwill impairment, loss on extinguishment and modification of debt, 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.

We have presented adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 to exclude the goodwill impairment, loss on extinguishment and modification of debt, 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.
