CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this report are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, including without limitation statements with respect to expectations regarding the impact of the future cash flows, and capital requirements, the impact of foreign exchange rate movements on sales and net income, and the Company's anticipated effective tax rate, and statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “target,” “likely,” “will,” “would,” “could,” and other similar language, whether in the negative or affirmative. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are only predictions. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions as described under the section titled "Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and "Part II - Item 1A. Risk Factors" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2024. Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as indicative of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in our forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Some of the key factors that could cause actual results to differ from our expectations are listed below:

•Whether the non-binding proposal from Kumarakulasingam Suriyakumar related to the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of common stock not owned by Mr. Suriyakumar results in a definitive transaction and, if so, on what terms.

•A significant portion of our revenue across all of our products and services is generated from customers in the architectural, engineering, construction and building owner/operator industry. Any decline in that industry could adversely affect our future revenue and profitability.

•Because a significant portion of our overall costs are fixed, our earnings are highly sensitive to changes in revenue.

•We derive a significant percentage of net sales from within the State of California and our business could be disproportionately harmed by an economic downturn or natural disaster affecting California.

•Our growth strategy depends, in part, on our ability to successfully market and execute several different, but related, service offerings. Failure to do so could impede our future growth and adversely affect our competitive position.

•We are dependent upon our vendors to continue to supply us equipment, parts, supplies, and services at comparable terms and price levels as the business grows.

•Our failure to protect our customers’ confidential information against security breaches could damage our reputation, harm our business and adversely affect our results of operation.

•Our failure to adequately protect the proprietary aspects of our technology solutions may cause us to lose market share.

•Our failure to comply with laws related to privacy and data security could adversely affect our financial condition.

•Our information technology and telecommunications systems are susceptible to damage, breach or interruption.

•Added risks are associated with our international operations.

•Our business could suffer if we fail to attract, retain, and successfully integrate skilled personnel.

•The market price of our common stock is volatile, and is impacted by factors other than our financial performance, which could cause the value of an investment in our stock to decline.

•Changes in tax laws and interpretations could adversely affect our business.

•Our debt instruments impose certain restrictions on our ability to operate which in turn could negatively affect our ability to respond to business and market conditions and therefore could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

•If the interest rates on our borrowings increase, our access to capital and net income could be adversely affected.

•We may be exposed to employment-related claims and costs and periodic litigation that could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Except where otherwise indicated, the statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made as of the date we filed this report with the Securities and Exchange Commission and should not be relied upon as of any subsequent date. All future written and verbal forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. Unless required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You should, however, consult further disclosures we make in future filings of our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K, and any amendments thereto, as well as our proxy statements.

We own or have rights to a number of trademarks, service marks, and trade names that we use in conjunction with the operation of our business, including the name and design mark “ARC Document Solutions,” “ABACUS,” “METAPRINT,” “PlanWell,” “PlanWell PDS,” “Riot Creative Imaging,” “SKYSITE,” and various design marks associated therewith.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands, except per share data or where otherwise noted)

(Unaudited)

1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

ARC Document Solutions, Inc. ("ARC Document Solutions," "ARC" or "the Company") is a digital printing company. ARC provides digital printing and document-related services to customers in a growing variety of industries. ARC offers Digital Printing services, Managed Print Services ("MPS"), and Scanning and Digital Imaging services. In addition, ARC also sells Equipment and Supplies. The Company conducts its operations through its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, ARC Document Solutions, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, and its affiliates.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in conformity with the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information required by GAAP for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted. In management’s opinion, the accompanying interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature that are necessary to fairly present the interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and relies on historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances to determine such estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences may be material to the interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

These interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Noncontrolling Interest

The Company accounted for its investment in UNIS Document Solutions Co. Ltd. ("UDS"), under the purchase method of accounting, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805, Business Combinations. UDS has been consolidated in the Company's financial statements from the date of acquisition. Noncontrolling interest, which represents the 35% noncontrolling interest in UDS owned by the joint venture ("JV") partner, is reflected on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to ARC's customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Net sales of the Company’s principal services and products were as follows:

(1) MPS includes $17.2 million of rental income and $1.5 million of service income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and $34.2 million of rental income and $3.1 million of service income for the six months ended June 30, 2024. MPS includes $17.4 million of rental income and $1.5 million of service income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and $35.0 million of rental income and $3.0 million of service income for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Digital Printing consists of professional services and software services to (i) reproduce and distribute large-format and small-format documents in either black and white or color (“Ordered Prints”) and (ii) specialized graphic color printing. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue from Digital Printing comes from professional services to reproduce Ordered Prints. Sales of Ordered Prints are initiated through a customer order or quote and are governed by established terms and conditions agreed upon at the onset of the customer relationship. Revenue is recognized when the performance obligation under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied, which generally occurs with the transfer of control of the Ordered Prints. Transfer of control occurs at a specific point in time, when the Ordered Prints are delivered to the customer’s site or handed to the customer for walk-in orders. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Taxes collected concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.

MPS consists of placement, management, and optimization of print and imaging equipment in customers' offices, job sites, and other facilities. MPS relieves the Company’s customers of the burden of purchasing print equipment and related supplies and maintaining print devices and print networks, and it shifts their costs to a “per-use” basis. MPS is supported by the Company's hosted proprietary technology, Abacus®, which allows customers to capture, control, manage, print, and account for their documents. Under its MPS contracts, the Company is paid a fixed rate per unit for each print produced (per-use), often referred to as a “click charge”. MPS sales are driven by the ongoing print needs of the Company’s customers at their facilities. Certain MPS arrangements are accounted for as operating leases under ASC 842, Leases.

Scanning and Digital Imaging combines software and professional services to facilitate the capture, management, access and retrieval of documents and information that have been produced in the past. Scanning and Digital Imaging includes the Company's hosted SKYSITE ® software and ARC Facilities solution to organize, search and retrieve documents, as well as the provision of services that include the capture and conversion of hardcopy and electronic documents into digital files (“Scanned Documents”), and their cloud-based storage and maintenance. Sales of Scanning and Digital Imaging professional services, which represent substantially all revenue for the business line, are initiated through a customer order or proposal and are governed by established terms and conditions agreed upon at the onset of the customer relationship. Revenue is recognized when the performance obligation under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of the digital files. Transfer of control occurs at a specific point-in-time, when the Scanned Documents are delivered to the customer either through SKYSITE, ARC Facilities, or through other electronic media. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Taxes collected concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.

Equipment and Supplies sales consist of reselling printing, imaging, and related equipment (“Goods”) to customers primarily in architectural, engineering and construction firms. Sales of Equipment and Supplies are initiated through a customer order and are governed by established terms and conditions agreed upon at the onset of the customer relationship. Revenue is recognized when the performance obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of the Goods. Transfer of control occurs at a specific point-in-time, when the Goods are delivered to the customer’s site. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Taxes collected concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. The Company has experienced minimal customer returns or refunds and does not offer a warranty on equipment that it is reselling.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which requires public entities to disclose specific tax rate reconciliation categories, as well as income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction, amongst other disclosure enhancements. The ASU is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The ASU can be adopted on a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company is evaluating the disclosure requirements related to the new standard.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which updates reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and information used to assess segment performance. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Retrospective adoption is required for all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is evaluating the disclosure requirements related to the new standard.

Segment Reporting

The provisions of ASC 280, Segment Reporting, require public companies to report financial and descriptive information about their reportable operating segments. The Company identifies operating segments based on the various business activities that earn revenue and incur expense and whose operating results are reviewed by the Company's Chief Executive Officer, who is the Company's chief operating decision maker. Because its operating segments have similar products and services, classes of customers, production processes, distribution methods and economic characteristics, the Company operates as a single reportable segment.

Risk and Uncertainties

The Company generates a significant portion of its revenue from sales of services and products to customers in the architectural, engineering, construction and building owner/operator ("AEC/O") industry. As a result, the Company's results largely depend on the strength of that industry. The Company's historical operating results reflect the cyclical and variable nature of the AEC/O industry. ARC believes that the AEC/O industry generally experiences downturns several months after a downturn in the general economy, and that there may be a similar delay in the recovery of the AEC/O industry following a recovery of the general economy. A downturn in the AEC/O industry would diminish demand for all of the Company's products and services, and would therefore negatively affect the Company's revenues and have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition.

As part of the Company’s growth strategy, ARC intends to continue to offer and grow a variety of service offerings that are relatively new to the company. The success of the Company's efforts will be affected by its ability to acquire new customers for the Company's new service offerings as well as sell the new service offerings to existing customers. The Company’s inability to successfully market and execute these relatively new service offerings could significantly affect its business and reduce its long- term revenue, resulting in an adverse effect on its results of operations and financial condition.

2. Earnings per Share

The Company accounts for earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to ARC by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed similarly to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if shares subject to outstanding options and acquisition rights had been issued and if the additional shares were dilutive. Common share equivalents are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, 4.9 million and 4.8 million shares of common stock, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income attributable to ARC per common share, because they were anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, 4.4 million and 4.1 million shares of common stock, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income attributable to ARC per common share, because they were anti-dilutive. The Company's common share equivalents consist of stock options issued under the Company's equity incentive plan.

Basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding were calculated as follows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:


	Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024	2023	2024	2023
Weighted average common shares outstanding during the period—basic	42,342	42,801	42,267	42,673
Effect of dilutive stock awards	725	813	794	1,006
Weighted average common shares outstanding during the period—diluted	43,067	43,614	43,061	43,679

3. Goodwill and Other Intangibles

Goodwill

In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, the Company assesses goodwill for impairment annually as of September 30, and more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. At September 30, 2023, the Company performed its annual assessment and determined that goodwill was not impaired.

Goodwill impairment testing is performed at the reporting unit level. Goodwill is assigned to reporting units at the date the goodwill is initially recorded. Once goodwill has been assigned to reporting units, it no longer retains its association with a particular acquisition, and all of the activities within a reporting unit, whether acquired or internally generated, are available to support the value of the goodwill.

There can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the Company’s goodwill impairment analysis in 2023 will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. If the Company’s assumptions, including forecasted EBITDA of certain reporting units, are not achieved, then the Company may be required to record goodwill impairment charges in future periods, whether in connection with the next annual impairment testing in the third quarter of 2024, or on an interim basis, if any such change constitutes a triggering event (as defined under ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other) outside of the quarter when the Company regularly performs its annual goodwill impairment test. It is not possible at this time to determine if any such future impairment charge would result or, if it does, whether such charge would be material. There was no change in the carrying amount of goodwill from January 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024.

See “Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgements and Estimates" in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for further information regarding the process and assumptions used in the goodwill impairment analysis.

Long-lived and Other Intangible Assets

The Company periodically assesses potential impairments of its long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets. An impairment review is performed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company groups its assets at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of the other assets and liabilities. The Company has determined that the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are available is the regional level, which is the operating segment level.

Factors considered by the Company include, but are not limited to, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected operating results; significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and significant negative industry or economic trends. When the carrying value of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, the Company estimates the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows and eventual disposition is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the Company recognizes an impairment loss. An impairment loss is reflected as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset, based on the fair value if available, or discounted cash flows, if fair value is not available. The Company assessed potential impairments of its long-lived assets as of September 30, 2023 and concluded that there was no impairment.

Other intangible assets that have finite lives are amortized over their useful lives. Customer relationships are amortized using the accelerated method, based on customer attrition rates, over their estimated useful lives of 13 (weighted average) years.

The following table sets forth the Company’s other intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 which continue to be amortized:


	June 30, 2024						December 31, 2023
	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Net Carrying Amount		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Net Carrying Amount
Amortizable other intangible assets
Customer relationships	$	99,068	$	99,065	$	3	$	99,185	$	99,178	$	7
Trade names and trademarks	20,246		20,111		135		20,262		20,107		155
	$	119,314	$	119,176	$	138	$	119,447	$	119,285	$	162

Estimated future amortization expense of other intangible assets for the remainder of the 2024 fiscal year, and each of the subsequent four fiscal years and thereafter, are as follows:


2024 (excluding the six months ended June 30, 2024)	$	19
2025	34
2026	33
2027	33
2028	19

	$	138

4. Income Taxes

On a quarterly basis, the Company estimates its effective tax rate for the full fiscal year and records a quarterly income tax provision based on the anticipated annual effective rate and the recognition of any discrete items within the quarter.

The Company recorded an income tax provision of $1.6 million and $2.7 million, respectively in relation to pretax income of $4.7 million and $8.2 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, which resulted in an effective income tax rate of 33.9% and 32.9%, respectively, primarily impacted by state taxes, non-deductible compensation, certain stock-based compensation, certain non-deductible proposed transaction costs and other non-deductible expenses, and U.S. taxes on foreign income. The Company recorded an income tax provision of $1.7 million and $2.9 million, respectively in relation to pretax income of $5.7 million and $8.7 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, which resulted in an effective income tax rate of 30.3% and 33.2%, respectively, primarily impacted by state taxes, non-deductible compensation, certain stock-based compensation and other non-deductible expenses.

In accordance with ASC 740-10, Income Taxes, the Company evaluates the need for deferred tax asset valuation allowances based on a more likely than not standard. The ability to realize deferred tax assets depends on the ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carryforward periods provided for in the tax law for each applicable tax jurisdiction. The Company considers the following possible sources of taxable income when assessing the realization of deferred tax assets:

•Future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences;

•Future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards; and

•Tax-planning strategies.

The assessment regarding whether a valuation allowance is required or should be adjusted also considers all available positive and negative evidence factors, including but not limited to:

•Nature, frequency, and severity of recent losses;

•Duration of statutory carryforward periods;

•Historical experience with tax attributes expiring unused; and

•Near- and medium-term financial outlook.

The Company utilizes a rolling three years of actual and current year anticipated results as the primary measure of cumulative income/losses in recent years, as adjusted for permanent differences. The evaluation of deferred tax assets requires judgment in assessing the likely future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns and future profitability. The Company's accounting for deferred tax consequences represents its best estimate of those future events. Changes in the Company's current estimates, due to unanticipated events, could have a material effect on its financial condition and results of operations. The Company has a $1.2 million valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2024.

Based on the Company’s current assessment, the remaining net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2024 are considered more likely than not to be realized. The valuation allowance of $1.2 million may be increased or reduced as conditions change or if the Company is unable to implement certain available tax planning strategies. The realization of the Company’s net deferred tax assets ultimately depends on future taxable income, reversals of existing taxable temporary differences or through a loss carry back.

5. Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt consists of the following:


	June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023

Revolving Loans; 6.8% interest rate at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023	$	40,000	$	40,000
Various finance leases; weighted average interest rate of 5.8% and 5.5% at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively; principal and interest payable monthly through November 2029	19,888		22,236

	59,888		62,236
Less current portion	(7,431)		(8,870)
	$	52,457	$	53,366

Credit Agreement

On June 15, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment (the "Amendment") to its Credit Agreement dated as of April 22, 2021 (the "2021 Credit Agreement") with U.S. Bank National Association, as administrative agent and the lenders part thereto. The Amendment, among other things, modifies certain terms of the 2021 Credit Agreement to replace the relevant benchmark provisions from the London Interbank Offered Rate to the forward-looking term rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). The Amendment also modifies certain terms of the 2021 Credit Agreement relating to the payment of dividends and stock repurchases by the Company and the related component calculations included in the fixed charge coverage ratio that the Company is required to maintain. After giving effect to the Amendment, the Company is permitted to repurchase up to $10 million of its stock in any twelve-month period and all such permitted stock repurchases will be excluded from the calculation of the fixed charge coverage ratio. In addition, the Company is permitted to make other restricted payments that are not stock repurchases, such as the payment of dividends, of up to $12 million made during any twelve-month period which will be excluded from the calculation of the fixed charge coverage ratio. The making of stock repurchases and the payment of dividends and other restricted payments is subject, in each case, to pro forma compliance with the financial covenants and other customary conditions set forth in the 2021 Credit Agreement.

The 2021 Credit Agreement provides for the extension of revolving loans in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $70 million and replaces the Credit Agreement dated as of November 20, 2014, as amended (the "2014 Credit Agreement"). The obligation under the 2021 Credit Agreement matures on April 22, 2026.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company's borrowing availability under the revolving loan commitment was $27.8 million, after deducting outstanding letters of credit of $2.2 million and outstanding revolving loans of $40.0 million.

Loans borrowed under the 2021 Credit Agreement bear interest, in the case of Term SOFR loans (as such terms is defined in the 2021 Credit Agreement), at a per annum rate equal to the applicable Term SOFR (which rate shall not be less than zero), plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.75%, based on the Company’s Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the 2021 Credit Agreement). Loans borrowed under the 2021 Credit Agreement that are not Term SOFR loans bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Alternate Base Rate (as such terms is defined in the 2021 Credit Agreement) plus a margin ranging from 0.25% to 0.75%, based on the Company’s Total Leverage Ratio. As of June 30, 2024, one month Term SOFR loans borrowed under the 2021 Credit Agreement accrued interest at 6.8%.

The Company pays certain recurring fees with respect to the 2021 Credit Agreement, including administration fees to the administrative agent.

Subject to certain exceptions, including, in certain circumstances, reinvestment rights, the loans extended under the Credit Agreement are subject to customary mandatory prepayment provisions with respect to: the net proceeds from certain asset sales; the net proceeds from certain issuances or incurrences of debt (other than debt permitted to be incurred under the terms of the 2021 Credit Agreement); the net proceeds from certain issuances of equity securities; and net proceeds of certain insurance recoveries and condemnation events of the Company.

The 2021 Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, subject to limitations and exceptions, and customary covenants restricting the ability (subject to various exceptions) of the Company and its subsidiaries to: incur additional indebtedness (including guarantee obligations); incur liens; sell certain property or assets; engage in mergers or other fundamental changes; consummate acquisitions; make investments; make certain distributions or repurchase equity interest of the Company or its subsidiaries; change the nature of their business; prepay or amend certain indebtedness; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; amend their organizational documents; or enter into certain restrictive agreements. In addition, the 2021 Credit Agreement contains financial covenants which requires the Company to maintain (i) at all times, a Total Leverage Ratio in an amount not to exceed 2.75 to 1.00; and (ii) a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the 2021 Credit Agreement), as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, an amount not less than 1.15 to 1.00. ARC was in compliance with the covenants under the 2021 Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2024.

The 2021 Credit Agreement allows for payment of dividends. In May 2024, the Company's board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share that is payable on August 30, 2024 to stockholders of record as of July 31, 2024. Accordingly, the Company recorded a dividend payable of $2.1 million within accrued expenses as of June 30, 2024.

The 2021 Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including with respect to: nonpayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts; failure to perform or observe covenants; material inaccuracy of a representation or warranty when made; cross-default to other material indebtedness; bankruptcy, insolvency and dissolution events; inability to pay debts; monetary judgment defaults; actual or asserted invalidity or impairment of any definitive loan documentation, repudiation of guaranties or subordination terms; certain ERISA related events; or a change of control.

The obligations of the Company’s subsidiary that is the borrower under the 2021 Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company and each of the Company's other United States subsidiaries. The 2021 Credit Agreement and any interest rate protection and other hedging arrangements provided by any lender party to the credit facility or any affiliate of such a lender are secured on a first priority basis by a perfected security interest in substantially all of the borrower’s, the Company’s and each guarantor’s assets (subject to certain exceptions).

6. Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Leases. The Company leases machinery, equipment, and office and operational facilities under non-cancelable operating lease agreements used in the ordinary course of business. Certain lease agreements for the Company's facilities generally contain renewal options and provide for annual increases in rent based on the local Consumer Price Index. Refer to Note 7, Leasing, on the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for a schedule of the Company's future minimum operating lease payments.

Legal Proceedings. The Company is involved, and will continue to be involved, in legal proceedings arising out of the conduct of the Company's business, including commercial and employment-related lawsuits. Some of these lawsuits purport or may be determined to be class actions and seek substantial damages, and some may remain unresolved for several years. The Company establishes accruals for specific legal proceedings when it is considered probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company's evaluation of whether a loss is reasonably probable is based on the Company's assessment and consultation with legal counsel regarding the ultimate outcome of the matter. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has accrued for the potential impact of loss contingencies that are probable and reasonably estimable. The Company does not currently believe that the ultimate resolution of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. However, the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

Site Remediation Obligation. As part of a business acquisition in the 1990s, the Company purchased a site located in California where a commercial gas station had operated from 1939 until approximately 1986. Prior to the Company's acquisition, the gas station was demolished and its underground storage tanks were removed.

Environmental monitoring of the property was conducted from 1987 through 2017 under the oversight of the local County's Department of Environmental Health ("CDEH") and it eventually revealed petroleum products in the soil, groundwater, and the air in between soil particles. As a result, a Corrective Action Implementation Plan ("CAIP") detailing remedial clean-up methods at the site was required to be submitted in 2020. Accordingly, the Company recorded a liability on an undiscounted basis of $0.6 million in 2020, the estimated cost, to remediate the site.

The 2020 CAIP was approved by the CDEH, but based on additional site data, the department requested a submission of addenda to the CAIP to address other site conditions. The additional review conducted in the fourth quarter of 2023 identified certain potential risks arising out of a structure on a neighboring property. As a result, in December of 2023, the CDEH requested that an alternative remedial plan be developed and submitted, to address the structural aspects of the site. The additional concerns identified in 2023 required that the new plan be designed in a way that is significantly more expensive than the original plan, is more complicated, and will result in a longer duration to remediate the site. The Company is in the process of finalizing an alternative plan with the guidance and expertise of an environmental consulting firm engaged expressly for this purpose, which will need to be approved by the CDEH.

The Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets include a liability on an undiscounted basis for the site remediation of $4.3 million and $4.5 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively of which $2.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively, is classified as a current liability. As of June 30, 2024, the liability represents the Company's estimate of the probable cleanup, investigation, and remediation costs based on available information. The Company anticipates that most of this liability will be paid out over seven years, but some costs may be paid out over a longer period.

As noted above, the estimate of the final remediation expenses may change over time because of the varying costs of currently available cleanup techniques, unpredictable contaminant reduction rates associated with available cleanup techniques, and the difficulty of determining in advance the nature and full extent of contamination. However, evolving statutory and regulatory standards, their interpretation, more vigorous enforcement policies of regulatory agencies, or stricter or different interpretations of existing statutory and regulatory standards, may require additional expenditures by the Company, which may be material. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company will not incur significant additional environmental compliance costs in the future.

7. Stock-Based Compensation

On April 29, 2021, the Company's stockholders approved the Company's 2021 Incentive Plan, replacing the 2014 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, which is the only equity incentive plan under which the Company can currently grant equity incentive awards. The 2021 Incentive Plan provides for the grant of incentive and non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock bonuses and other forms of awards granted or denominated in the Company's common stock or units of the Company's common stock, as well as cash bonus awards, to employees, directors and consultants of the Company. On April 26, 2023, the Company's stockholders approved an amendment to the 2021 Incentive Plan ("Amended 2021 Plan") to increase the aggregate number of equity incentive shares authorized for issuance by 5,000,000 shares of common stock. Under the Amended 2021 Plan, the Company is authorized to issue up to 8.5 million shares plus such additional number of shares of common stock (up to 6,132,593 shares) as is equal to the number of shares of common stock subject to awards granted under the 2014 Incentive Plan and the Company's 2005 Stock Plan, which awards expire, terminate or are otherwise surrendered, cancelled, forfeited or repurchased by the Company pursuant to a contractual repurchase right. As of June 30, 2024, 4.2 million shares remained available for issuance under the 2021 Incentive Plan.

Stock options granted under the Company's stock plan generally expire no later than ten years from the date of grant. Options generally vest and become fully exercisable over a period of three to four years from date of award, except that options granted to non-employee directors may vest over a shorter time period. The exercise price of options is equal to at least 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The Company allows for cashless exercises of vested outstanding options.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company granted options to acquire a total of 0.8 million shares of the Company's common stock to certain key employees with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. These stock options vest annually over three years to four years from the grant date and expire ten years after the date of grant. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company granted 0.5 million shares of restricted stock awards to certain key employees with a deemed issuance price per share equal to the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date the restricted stock was granted. These restricted stock awards vest annually over three years from the grant date.

Stock-based compensation expense was $0.7 million and $1.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to stock-based compensation expense of $0.5 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

As of June 30, 2024, total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock-based payments totaled $3.6 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2 years.

8. Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, the Company has categorized its assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value into a three-level fair value hierarchy. If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows:

Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company's assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value were not material.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments for disclosure purposes:

Cash equivalents: Cash equivalents are time deposits with a maturity of three months or less when purchased, which are highly liquid and readily convertible to cash. There were no cash equivalents reported in the Company’s interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2024. Cash equivalents reported in the Company's interim Condensed Consolidated

Balance Sheet were $1.2 million as of December 31, 2023 and are carried at cost and approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity of these instruments.

Business Summary

ARC Document Solutions Inc. is a digital printing company. We provide digital printing and document-related services to customers in a growing variety of industries. Our primary services and product offering are:

•digital printing of general and specialized business documents such as those found in marketing and advertising, engineering and construction and other industries, as well as producing highly-customized display graphics of all types and sizes;

•acquiring, placing and managing ARC-certified office printing equipment with proprietary device tracking and print management software at our customers’ offices and job sites;

•scanning documents, indexing them and adding digital search features for use in digital document management, document archives and facilities management, as well as providing other digital imaging services; and

•reselling digital printing equipment and supplies.

Each of these services frequently include additional logistics services in the form of distributing and delivering finished documents, installing display graphics, or the digital storage of graphic files.

We have categorized our service and product offerings to report distinct sales recognized from:

Digital Printing: We print documents of any size in color and black and white on a variety of materials including plain paper, vinyl, fabric, metal, wood and other three-dimensional substrates. While we can and do print high-page count work such as manuals or catalogs, the documents we typically produce are usually characterized by their high-quality production, low-volume and quick turnaround, and are produced using highly-sophisticated digital printing equipment.

Managed Print Services: We acquire and manage digital printing equipment and place it in our customers' facilities for their use, based on a service level agreement. We lease or own the equipment ourselves, while our customers pay for what they use. Per-use minimum charges are often part of our service agreements. We operate approximately 10,400 managed print services, or MPS locations, ranging in size from one or two pieces of equipment in a single office, to hundreds of pieces of equipment in offices around the world. We also provide proprietary software to our customers to control their print expenses and connect their remote employees with their offices and ARC print centers nationwide. This software is developed and integrated by ARC.

Scanning and Digital Imaging: We scan hard-copy small format or large format documents in color or black and white, typically providing them to our customers as searchable PDF files. We also use our patented optical character recognition technology to make documents searchable, and we host them on proprietary applications for use as part of our ARC Facilities solutions. The types of documents that we scan include office files, construction plans and other small or large documents. We also process, distribute and print-on-demand images we capture for our customers. Our large, centralized Scanning and Digital Imaging centers are compliant with the Health Insurability Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, so we can convert documents that include protected health information. Our unique software creates efficient search tags on scanned data for easy search and retrieval. We offer Cloud-based document management software and other digital hosting services to our customers or make files available for our customers to host themselves.

Equipment and Supplies Sales: We sell equipment and supplies to a small segment of our customer base. We also provide ancillary services such as equipment service and maintenance, often as a way to generate recurring revenue in addition to a one-time sale. In addition, we offer certified used equipment available for sale or for use in our MPS offering.

The majority of our products and services are available from each of our service centers. Our primary operational objective is to optimize our business performance by driving as much customer work through our service center network as is practical, and leveraging our production infrastructure, workforce, and production-grade equipment. All our production centers are digitally connected and we operate standard software and systems to support seamless movement of customers digital data and print anywhere within the ARC system.

In addition, we can provide many of our services in our customers’ offices. Our geographic presence is concentrated in the U.S., with additional service centers in Canada, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), China, India, and the United Kingdom. Our origin as a company was in California, and the initial expansion of our business was concentrated there. We derived approximately 29% of our total revenue from the products and services delivered in California during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

All of our production facilities are connected via a Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN). Our cloud offerings are hosted by Amazon Web Services. We employ a combination of proprietary and industry-leading technologies to provide redundancy, backup and security of all data in our systems. All of our technology operations are designed to meet ISO 29001 standards for data security, and several of our service centers are HIPAA-compliant allowing us to manage document conversions and other scanning tasks involving protected health information, or PHI.

Costs and Expenses

Our cost of sales consists primarily of materials (paper, toner and other consumables), labor, and “indirect costs.” Indirect costs consist primarily of equipment expenses related to our MPS locations (typically our customers’ offices and job sites) and our service centers. Facilities and equipment expenses include maintenance, repairs, rents, insurance, and depreciation. Paper is the largest component of our material cost; however, the impact of paper pricing on our operating margins is mitigated, and in some cases eliminated, as we attempt to pass it on to our customers. We closely monitor material cost as a percentage of net sales to measure volume and waste, and we maintain low levels of inventory. We also track labor utilization, or net sales per employee, to measure productivity and determine staffing levels.

The effects of the 2022 global supply chain disruptions on our business eased in 2023 and 2024. The supply chain disruptions, for us were primarily confined to price increases. As noted above, price increases are often passed on to our customers. Our labor costs have increased moderately as we sought to retain valuable employees and competed for new hires in 2023 and in the first half of 2024. Labor costs have also increased moderately due to the change in our business mix, primarily driven by our need for more employees to support our growing digital color print and scanning business. While these increases had an effect on our results of operations, we believe our cost optimization initiatives allowed us to mitigate their impact and will allow us to continue to manage them in future periods.

Historically, our capital expenditure requirements have varied based on our need for printing equipment in our MPS locations and service centers. Over the past several years, the pandemic has reduced the number of employees in our customers' locations, which has, in turn, reduced the need for equipment. We believe this equipment trend has become permanent and, as a result, we think the past three years of capital expenditures are more indicative of our future capital needs than our longer-term history suggests.

Because our relationships with credit providers allows us to obtain attractive lease rates, we have historically chosen to lease rather than purchase most of our equipment. With the rising cost of capital, we have adjusted our historical procurement strategy and use more of our available cash to acquire equipment in order to reduce the impact of interest expense on our operating results.

Research and development costs consist mainly of the salaries, leased building space, and computer equipment related to our data storage and development centers in San Ramon, California and Kolkata, India. Such costs are primarily recorded to cost of sales.

The COVID-19 pandemic adversely impacted our financial performance from 2020 to 2022, but we expect that its acute impact is behind us. We believe, however, that the reduced in office presence of employees brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic are permanent. As a result, our MPS business has been and remains under pressure as most employers have left work-from-home policies in place and less equipment is needed to support them in typical office spaces. By contrast, we believe work-from-home and hybrid work practices benefit our scanning business because employees need access to documents, regardless of where they are working, and document scanning is the first step in making them accessible in the cloud.

Non-Binding Proposal

Roy, our Chief Technology Officer, Sujeewa Sean Pathiratne, a private investor, and certain entities affiliated with such persons (collectively, the “Acquisition Group”) agreed in principle that they will work with each other to negotiate and consummate the Proposed Transaction. The Acquisition Group currently beneficially owns approximately 19.6% of our outstanding shares of common stock.

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2023

Net Sales

Net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, increased 3.8% and 3.3%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2023. The increase in net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily driven by the year-over-year growth of sales in Digital Printing and Scanning and Digital Imaging services. Growth for the period was partially offset by a small decline in MPS sales.

Digital Printing. Year-over-year sales of Digital Printing services increased $2.5 million, or 5.8%, for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Year-over-year sales of Digital Printing services increased $3.9 million, or 4.5%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Year-over-year sales saw continuing healthy increases in digital color graphic printing from new and existing customers. This growth was offset by a decrease in digital plan printing sales which we continue to attribute to less construction activity and subsequent lower spending due to high interest rates. Digital Printing services represented 62% and 61%, respectively, of total net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and 61% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

MPS. Year-over-year sales of MPS services for the three months ended June 30, 2024, decreased $0.2 million, or 1.2%. Year-over-year sales of MPS services for the six months ended June 30, 2024 also decreased $0.7 million, or 1.7%.

MPS sales represented approximately 25% and 26%, respectively, of total net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 26% and 27%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

MPS sales have remained in a narrow band between $18 million to $19 million per quarter for more than two years, strongly implying fewer employees in the workplace will continue to constrain onsite print volumes relative to historical averages.

The number of MPS locations we serve declined slightly to approximately 10,400 as of June 30, 2024, representing a net decrease of approximately 150 locations compared to June 30, 2023.

Scanning and Digital Imaging. Year-over-year sales of Scanning and Digital Imaging services increased $0.4 million, or 7.4% and $1.5 million, or 14.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. The increase in sales of our Scanning and Digital Imaging services continues to be driven by growing demand for paper-to-digital document conversions and digital archives to replace long-term warehoused paper document storage. Targeting building owners and facility managers who require on-demand access to their legacy documents to operate their assets efficiently continues to be a key audience and plays to our strengths in the broader construction industry. We believe that demand for our Scanning and Digital Imaging services will continue to grow in the future.

Equipment and Supplies Sales. Year-over-year sales of Equipment and Supplies increased $0.1 million, or 1.4%, for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and decreased $0.1 million, or 0.8%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Equipment and Supplies sales remained relatively flat year-over-year, as buying habits have stabilized now that customers have adjusted to a higher interest rate environment.

Gross Profit

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, gross profit was $26.4 million, or 35.1%, compared to $25.2 million, or 34.8% during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

The 30 basis point increase in gross margin for the three month period ended June 30, 2024 was due to the increase in sales, and our ability to leverage our work force and overhead costs.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, gross profit was $49.2 million, or 33.7%, compared to $48.1 million, or 34.0% during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

The 30 basis points decrease in gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was driven primarily by increased labor and material costs due to inflation pressures and increased hiring as we increased and adjusted the capacity of our digital color graphic printing services and Scanning and Digital Imaging Services. The increase in labor cost was partially offset by decreased depreciation of $1.1 million.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $21.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $2.3 million, or 12.2%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $40.4

million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $1.9 million, or 5.0%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to greater commissions based on a higher level of sales, as well as continued investments in sales staff and marketing initiatives. Of note, selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 also include $0.9 million of costs related to the previously disclosed take-private proposal described in the "Non-Binding Proposal" section above under "Part I - Item 2.”

Amortization of Intangibles

Amortization of intangibles decreased to less than $0.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, due to the completion of amortization for certain customer relationship intangibles related to historical acquisitions.

Interest Expense, Net

Net interest expense of $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, declined $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, compared to the same period in 2023 due to the continued pay-down of our debt, partially offset by the increase in interest rates under certain finance leases. Our 2021 Credit Agreement (as defined below) features a flexible payment schedule which allows us to pay down or draw on it at any time. As such, we intend to use available cash throughout the year to reduce the revolving loan and manage our interest expense.

Income Taxes

We recorded an income tax provision of $1.6 million in relation to pretax income of $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. We recorded an income tax provision of $2.7 million in relation to pretax income of $8.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This resulted in an effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, of 33.9% and 32.9%, respectively.

Our effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, was primarily affected by state taxes, non-deductible compensation, certain stock-based compensation, certain non-deductible proposed transaction costs and other non-deductible expenses and U.S. taxes on foreign income. Excluding the impact of certain stock-based compensation, an increase in certain valuation allowances, other discrete items and U.S. taxes on foreign income, our effective income tax rate for the consolidated company would have been 30.2% and 29.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and our effective income tax rate attributable to ARC Document Solutions, Inc. would have been 30.1% and 29.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

By comparison, we recorded an income tax provision of $1.7 million in relation to pretax income of $5.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. We recorded an income tax provision of $2.9 million in relation to pretax income of $8.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This resulted in an effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, of 30.3% and 33.2%, respectively.

Our effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, was primarily impacted by state taxes, non-deductible compensation, certain stock-based compensation and other non-deductible expenses. Excluding the impact of certain stock-based compensation, an increase in certain valuation allowances, and other discrete items, our effective income tax rate for the consolidated company would have been 29.7% and 29.9%, respectively, and our effective income tax rate attributable to ARC Document Solutions, Inc. would have been 29.6% and 29.7%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

We have a $1.2 million valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2024.

Noncontrolling Interest

Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest represents 35% of the income or loss of UDS and its subsidiaries, which together comprise our Chinese joint venture operations.

Net Income Attributable to ARC

Net income attributable to ARC was $3.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was driven primarily by higher selling, general and administrative expenses, as described above.

Net income attributable to ARC was $5.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $6.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in net income attributable to ARC was primarily driven by the increase in selling, general and administrative expense during the six months ended June 30, 2024, as noted above.

EBITDA

EBITDA margin and Adjusted EBITDA margin is not a recognized measure under GAAP. When analyzing our operating performance, investors should use EBITDA margin and Adjusted EBITDA in addition to, and not as an alternative for, operating income or any other performance measure presented in accordance with GAAP. It is a measure we use to measure our performance and liquidity. We believe EBITDA margin and Adjusted EBITDA reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. We believe the measure is used by investors and is a useful indicator to measure our performance. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of EBITDA margin and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures below for additional discussion.

EBITDA margin was 12.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 14.6% for the same period in 2023. Excluding the effect of stock-based compensation, Adjusted EBITDA margin was 13.0% during the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to 15.3% for the same period in 2023. EBITDA margin decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2024, due to the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, as described above.

EBITDA margin was 11.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, down from 13.3% for the same period in 2023. Excluding the effect of stock-based compensation, Adjusted EBITDA margin was 12.5% during the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to 14.0% for the same period in 2023. EBITDA margin decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2024, due to the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, as described above.

Impact of Inflation

Rising costs for raw materials, such as paper, inks and toners and increase in labor are partly being passed on to customers via price increases during the ordinary course of business, moderating the impact of inflation on our financial results. As these inflationary pressures continue, however, the increased cost of labor, materials and other indirect costs require close and active management to avoid material impacts to our cost structure.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA, EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share 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, net income margin, diluted earnings per share 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. We have presented these measures 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.

EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We calculate EBITDA margin by dividing EBITDA by net sales.

We use EBITDA and EBITDA margin to measure and compare the performance of our operating divisions. Our operating divisions’ financial performance includes all of the operating activities except debt and taxation which are managed at the corporate level for U.S. operating divisions. We use EBITDA and EBITDA margin to compare the performance of our operating divisions and to measure performance for determining consolidated-level compensation. In addition, we use EBITDA and EBITDA margin to evaluate potential acquisitions and potential capital expenditures.

EBITDA and EBITDA margin 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 EBITDA margin 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 below.

Specifically, we have presented adjusted net income attributable to ARC and adjusted earnings per share attributable to ARC stockholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 to reflect the exclusion of changes in the valuation allowances related to certain deferred tax assets and other discrete tax items.

We believe this presentation helps facilitate our investors understanding of our results of operations and allows them to make meaningful comparisons of our operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 against the corresponding periods in 2023. We believe these changes were the result of items which are not indicative of our actual operating performance.

We have presented Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 to exclude stock-based compensation expense. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA margin by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by net sales. The adjustment to exclude stock-based compensation expense from EBITDA is consistent with the definition of Adjusted EBITDA in our 2021 Credit Agreement; therefore, we believe this information is useful to investors in assessing our financial performance and ability to access our 2021 Credit Facility.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of cash have been cash flows from operations and borrowings under our debt and lease agreements. Our recent historical uses of cash have been for ongoing operations, payment of principal and interest on outstanding debt obligations, capital expenditures, dividends, and stock repurchases.

Total cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2024 was $49.9 million. Of this amount, $5.2 million was held in foreign countries, with $2.2 million held in China. Repatriation of some of our cash and cash equivalents in foreign countries could be subject to delay for local country approvals and could have potential adverse tax consequences. As a result, our ability to access our cash and cash equivalents held outside of the U.S. may be limited and our financial flexibility may be reduced.

Supplemental information pertaining to our historical sources and uses of cash is presented as follows and should be read in conjunction with our interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.


	Six Months Ended June 30,
(In thousands)		2024		2023
Net cash provided by operating activities		$	10,093	$	14,153
Net cash used in investing activities		$	(6,701)	$	(4,305)
Net cash used in financing activities		$	(9,384)	$	(11,151)

Operating Activities

Cash flows from operations are primarily driven by sales and net profit generated from these sales, excluding non-cash charges.

The decrease in cash flows from operations during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, was primarily due to timing of receivable collections as a result of an increase in sales in the latter part of the second quarter. Closely managing our cash collections resulted in days sales outstanding, or DSO, of 50 days as of June 30, 2024, comparable to June 30, 2023 which was 48 days.

DSO is calculated by taking the respective years June 30, accounts receivable balance divided by the net sales for the quarter multiplied by the number of total days in a quarter. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate DSO differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

We have presented DSO because we consider it to be an important indicator of the efficiency of our business and the quality of our cash flows. We believe investors may also find this metric meaningful given the importance of cash flows from operations and management's ability to efficiently manage our working capital.

We use DSO to measure and compare the cash management performance of our operating divisions.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was primarily related to capital expenditures. We incurred capital expenditures totaling $6.9 million and $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The year-over-year increase in capital expenditures is driven primarily by our decision to enter into fewer leases and acquire more equipment outright in 2024 due to increasing interest rates. The overall equipment acquired, capital expenditure and new leases incurred, increased in 2024 as compared to the prior year as we continue to invest in equipment to grow our color printing and scanning service lines.

Financing Activities

Net cash of $9.4 million used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily relates to payments on our finance leases and dividends.

Our cash position, working capital, and debt obligations as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are shown below and should be read in conjunction with our interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and related notes contained elsewhere in this report.


(In thousands)	June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Cash and cash equivalents	$	49,911	$	56,093
Working capital	$	38,668	$	37,495

Borrowings from revolving credit facility	$	40,000	$	40,000
Other debt obligations	19,888		22,236
Total debt obligations	$	59,888	$	62,236

The increase of $1.2 million in working capital was primarily driven by the increase in accounts receivable of $5.7 million and a decrease in the current portion of our finance lease liability, partially offset by the decrease in cash. To manage our working

capital, we chiefly focus on our DSO and monitor the aging of our accounts receivable, as receivables are the most significant element of our working capital.

We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents balance of $49.9 million, the availability under our 2021 Credit Agreement, the availability under our equipment lease lines, and cash flows provided by operations should be adequate to cover the next twelve months and beyond of working capital needs, debt requirements consisting of scheduled principal and interest payments, and planned capital expenditures, to the extent such items are known or are reasonably determinable based on current business and market conditions. See “Debt Obligations” section for further information related to our 2021 Credit Agreement.

A significant portion of our revenue across all of our products and services is generated from customers in the AEC/O industry. As a result, our operating results and financial condition can be significantly affected by economic factors that influence the AEC/O industry, including pandemics and other global health crises like the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, a general economic downturn may adversely affect the ability of our customers and suppliers to obtain financing for significant operations and purchases, and to perform their obligations under their agreements with us. We believe that credit constraints in the financial markets could result in a decrease in, or cancellation of, existing business, could limit new business, and could negatively affect our ability to collect our accounts receivable on a timely basis. The financial constraints as they relate to the recent rising interest rates have had an impact on digital plan printing and Equipment and Supplies sales as noted above, however cash collections have remained consistent to prior periods.

We have not been actively seeking growth through acquisition since 2009, but will consider acquisitions that we feel add value to the overall company.

Debt Obligations

Credit Agreement

On June 15, 2023, we entered into an amendment (the "Amendment") to its Credit Agreement dated as of April 22, 2021 (the "2021 Credit Agreement") with U.S. Bank National Association, as administrative agent and the lenders part thereto. The Amendment, among other things, modifies certain terms of the 2021 Credit Agreement to replace the relevant benchmark provisions from the London Interbank Offered Rate to the forward-looking term rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). The Amendment also modifies certain terms of the 2021 Credit Agreement relating to the payment of dividends and stock repurchases made by us and the related component calculations included in the fixed charge coverage ratio that we are required to maintain. After giving effect to the Amendment, we are permitted to repurchase up to $10 million of its stock in any twelve-month period and all such permitted stock repurchases will be excluded from the calculation of the fixed charge coverage ratio. In addition, we are permitted to make other restricted payments that are not stock repurchases, such as the payment of dividends, of up to $12 million during any twelve-month period which will be excluded from the calculation of the fixed charge coverage ratio. The making of stock repurchases and the payment of dividends and other restricted payments is subject, in each case, to pro forma compliance with the financial covenants and other customary conditions set forth in the 2021 Credit Agreement.

As of June 30, 2024, our borrowing availability under the revolving loan commitment was $27.8 million, after deducting outstanding letters of credit of $2.2 million and outstanding revolving loans of $40.0 million.

Loans borrowed under the 2021 Credit Agreement bear interest, in the case of Term SOFR loans (as defined in the 2021 Credit Agreement), at a per annum rate equal to the applicable Term SOFR (which rate shall not be less than zero), plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.75%, based on our Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the 2021 Credit Agreement). Loans borrowed under the 2021 Credit Agreement that are not Term SOFR loans bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Alternate Base Rate (as such terms is defined in the 2021 Credit Agreement) plus a margin ranging from 0.25% to 0.75%, based on our Total Leverage Ratio. As of June 30, 2024, one month Term SOFR loans borrowed under the 2021 Credit Agreement accrued interest at 6.8%. We pay certain recurring fees with respect to the 2021 Credit Agreement, including administration fees to the administrative agent.

Subject to certain exceptions, including, in certain circumstances, reinvestment rights, the loans extended under the 2021 Credit Agreement are subject to customary mandatory prepayment provisions with respect to: the net proceeds from certain asset sales; the net proceeds from certain issuances or incurrences of debt (other than debt permitted to be incurred under the terms of the 2021 Credit Agreement); the net proceeds from certain issuances of equity securities; and net proceeds of certain insurance recoveries and condemnation events.

The 2021 Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, subject to limitations and exceptions, and customary covenants restricting the ability (subject to various exceptions) we and our subsidiaries: incur additional indebtedness (including guarantee obligations); incur liens; sell certain property or assets; engage in mergers or other fundamental changes; consummate acquisitions; make investments; make certain distributions or repurchase our equity securities or those of our subsidiaries; change the nature of their business; prepay or amend certain indebtedness; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; amend their organizational documents; or enter into certain restrictive agreements. In addition, the 2021 Credit Agreement contains financial covenants which requires we maintain (i) at all times, a Total Leverage Ratio in an amount not to exceed 2.75 to 1.00; and (ii) a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the 2021 Credit Agreement), as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, an amount not less than 1.15 to 1.00. We were in compliance with our covenants under the 2021 Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2024.

The obligations of our subsidiary that is the borrower under the 2021 Credit Agreement are guaranteed by us and each of our other United States domestic subsidiaries. The 2021 Credit Agreement and any interest rate protection and other hedging arrangements provided by any lender party to the credit facility or any affiliate of such a lender are secured on a first priority basis by a perfected security interest in substantially all of our and each guarantor’s assets (subject to certain exceptions).

Finance Leases

As of June 30, 2024, we had $19.9 million of finance lease obligations outstanding, with a weighted average interest rate of 5.8% and maturities between 2024 and 2029. Refer to Note 7, Leasing, as previously disclosed on our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended for December 31, 2023, for the schedule on maturities of finance lease liabilities, as there have been no material changes to report as of June 30, 2024.

Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments

Operating Leases. We have entered into various non-cancelable operating leases primarily related to facilities, equipment and vehicles used in the ordinary course of business. Refer to Note 7, Leasing, as previously disclosed on our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended for December 31, 2023, for the schedule on maturities of operating lease liabilities as there were no material changes as of June 30, 2024.

Legal Proceedings. We are involved, and will continue to be involved, in legal proceedings arising out of the conduct of our business, including commercial and employment-related lawsuits. Some of these lawsuits purport or may be determined to be class actions and seek substantial damages, and some may remain unresolved for several years. We establish accruals for specific legal proceedings when it is considered probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. We evaluate whether a loss is reasonably probable based on our assessment and consultation with legal counsel regarding the ultimate outcome of the matter. As of June 30, 2024, we have accrued for the potential impact of loss contingencies that are probable and reasonably estimable. We do not currently believe that the ultimate resolution of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. However, the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

Site Remediation Obligation. As part of a business acquisition in the 1990s, we purchased a site located in California where a commercial gas station had operated from 1939 until approximately 1986. Prior to our acquisition, the gas station was demolished and its underground storage tanks were removed.

Environmental monitoring of the property was conducted from 1987 through 2017 under the oversight of the local County's Department of Environmental Health ("CDEH") and it eventually revealed petroleum products in the soil, groundwater, and the air in between soil particles. As a result, a Corrective Action Implementation Plan ("CAIP") detailing remedial clean-up methods at the site was required to be submitted in 2020. Accordingly, we recorded a liability on an undiscounted basis of $0.6 million in 2020, the estimated cost, to remediate the site.

additional concerns identified in 2023 required that the new plan be designed in a way that is significantly more expensive than the original plan, is more complicated, and will result in a longer duration to remediate the site. We are in the process of finalizing an alternative plan with the guidance and expertise of an environmental consulting firm engaged expressly for this purpose, which will need to be approved by the CDEH.

Our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets include a liability on an undiscounted basis for the site remediation of $4.3 million and $4.5 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively of which $2.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively is classified as a current liability. As of June 30, 2024, the liability represents our estimate of the probable cleanup, investigation, and remediation costs based on available information. We anticipate that most of this liability will be paid out over seven years, but some costs maybe be paid out over a longer period.

The estimate of our final remediation expenses may change over time because of the varying costs of currently available cleanup techniques, unpredictable contaminant reduction rates associated with available cleanup techniques, and the difficulty of determining in advance the nature and full extent of contamination. However, evolving statutory and regulatory standards, their interpretation, more vigorous enforcement policies of regulatory agencies, or stricter or different interpretations of existing statutory and regulatory standards, may require additional expenditures, which may be material. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will not incur significant additional environmental compliance costs in the future.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgements and Estimates

Our management prepares financial statements in conformity with GAAP. When we prepare these consolidated financial statements, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to accounts receivable, inventories, deferred tax assets, goodwill and intangible assets, long-lived assets and leases. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for our judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be affected. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 includes a description of certain critical accounting policies, including those with respect to goodwill, revenue recognition, and income taxes, which we believe are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving management's judgments and estimates. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies, significant judgements and estimates described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Goodwill Impairment

In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, we assess goodwill for impairment annually as of September 30, and more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. At September 30, 2023, the Company performed its assessment and determined that goodwill was not impaired.

We determine the fair value of our reporting units using an income approach. Under the income approach, we determined fair value based on estimated discounted future cash flows of each reporting unit. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is judgmental in nature and requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including revenue growth rates and EBITDA margins, discount rates and future market conditions, among others. The level of judgment and estimation is inherently higher in these uncertain economic times.

The results of the annual goodwill impairment test, as of September 30, 2023, were as follows:


(Dollars in thousands)	Number of Reporting Units	Representing Goodwill of
No goodwill balance	6	$	—

Fair value of reporting units exceeds their carrying values by more than 15%	1	121,051
	7	$	121,051

Based upon a sensitivity analysis, a reduction of approximately 50-basis points of projected EBITDA margin in 2023 and

beyond, assuming all other assumptions remain constant, would result in no impairment of goodwill.

Based upon a separate sensitivity analysis, a 50-basis point increase to the weighted average cost of capital would result in no further impairment of goodwill.

Given the uncertain economic times and the changing document and printing needs of our customers and the uncertainties regarding the effect on our business, there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for purposes of our goodwill impairment testing in 2023 will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. If our assumptions, including forecasted EBITDA of certain reporting units, are not achieved, then we may be required to record goodwill impairment charges in future periods, whether in connection with our next annual impairment testing in the third quarter of 2024, or on an interim basis, if any such change constitutes a triggering event (as defined under ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other) outside of the quarter when we regularly perform our annual goodwill impairment test. It is not possible at this time to determine if any such future impairment charge would result or, if it does, whether such charge would be material.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect temporary differences between the amount of assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting purposes. Such amounts are adjusted, as appropriate, to reflect changes in tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Changes in tax laws or accounting standards and methods may affect recorded deferred taxes in future periods.

When establishing a valuation allowance, we consider future sources of taxable income such as future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards and tax planning strategies. A tax planning strategy is an action that: is prudent and feasible; an enterprise ordinarily might not take but would take to prevent an operating loss or tax credit carryforward from expiring unused; and would result in realization of deferred tax assets. In the event we determine that our deferred tax assets, more likely than not, will not be realized in the future, the valuation adjustment to the deferred tax assets will be charged to earnings in the period in which we make such a determination. We have a $1.2 million valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2024.

In future quarters we will continue to evaluate our historical results for the preceding twelve quarters and our future projections to determine whether we will generate sufficient taxable income to utilize our deferred tax assets, and whether a valuation allowance is required.

We calculate our current and deferred tax provision based on estimates and assumptions that could differ from the actual results reflected in income tax returns filed in subsequent years. Adjustments based on filed returns are recorded when identified.

Income taxes have not been provided on certain undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries because such earnings are considered to be permanently reinvested.

The amount of taxable income or loss we report to the various tax jurisdictions is subject to ongoing audits by federal, state and foreign tax authorities. We estimate the potential outcome of any uncertain tax issue, which is subject to management’s assessment of relevant risks, facts, and circumstances existing at that time. We use a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. We record a liability for the difference between the benefit recognized and measured and tax position taken or expected to be taken on its tax return. To the extent that our assessment of such tax positions changes, the change in estimate is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. We report tax-related interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company, as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are not required to provide the information required under this Item 3.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s ("SEC") rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2024. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of June 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes to internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are involved, and will continue to be involved, in legal proceedings arising out of the conduct of our business, including commercial and employment-related lawsuits. Some of these lawsuits purport or may be determined to be class actions and seek substantial damages, and some may remain unresolved for several years. We establish accruals for specific legal proceedings when it is considered probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Our evaluation of whether a loss is reasonably probable is based on our assessment and consultation with legal counsel regarding the ultimate outcome of the matter. As of June 30, 2024, we have accrued for the potential impact of loss contingencies that are probable and reasonably estimable. We do not currently believe that the ultimate resolution of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. However, the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

For additional discussion regarding certain environmental proceedings see the discussion in Note 6, Commitments and Contingencies - Site Remediation Obligation within Part I, Item 1 - "Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the risk factor set forth below, you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties set forth in "Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on February 29, 2024.

There is no assurance that the non-binding proposal from Kumarakulasingam Suriyakumar will result in a definitive transaction and, the absence of us entering into a definitive transaction agreement, changes to the proposal, or the commencement of related litigation may have an adverse impact on the market price of our common stock

As previously disclosed, we received a non-binding proposal on April 8, 2024 from our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Kumarakulasingam Suriyakumar, outlining Mr. Suriyakumar’s intent to explore and evaluate a potential acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of our common stock, not already owned by Mr. Suriyakumar in a going-private transaction at a purchase price of $3.25 per share in cash (the “Proposed Transaction”). On June 27, 2024, Mr. Suriyakumar, Dilantha Wijesuriya, our President and Chief Operating Officer, Jorge Avalos, our Chief Financial Officer, Rahul Roy, our Chief Technology Officer, Sujeewa Sean Pathiratne, a private investor, and certain entities affiliated with such persons (collectively, the “Acquisition Group”) agreed in principle that they will work with each other to negotiate and consummate the Proposed Transaction. The Acquisition Group currently beneficially owns approximately 19.6% of our outstanding shares of common stock.

In response to the proposal, on April 8, 2024, a special committee of our board of directors consisting entirely of independent, disinterested directors (the “Special Committee”) was formed to review and evaluate the Proposed Transaction. The Special Committee continues to carefully consider the Proposed Transaction with the assistance of its independent financial and legal advisors. No assurances can be given regarding the terms and details of any transaction, that any proposal made by the Acquisition Group regarding a transaction will be accepted by the Special Committee, that definitive documentation relating to any such transaction will be executed, or that a transaction will be consummated in accordance with that documentation, if at all. The absence of a definite offer to acquire the shares of common stock owned by persons other than Mr. Suriyakumar, or changes to the terms of the Proposed Transaction, as well as the commencement of litigation regarding any transaction involving the Acquisition Group, would likely have an adverse effect on the market price of shares of our common stock.

Under the repurchase program, purchases of shares of common stock may be made from time to time in the open market, or in privately negotiated transactions, in compliance with applicable state and federal securities laws. The timing and amounts of any purchases will be based on market conditions and other factors including price, regulatory requirements, and capital availability. The stock repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares in any period, and may be expanded, extended, modified or discontinued at any time without prior notice.

The Company recorded an income tax provision of $1.7 million and $2.9 million, respectively in relation to pretax income of $5.7 million and $8.7 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, which resulted in an effective income tax rate of 30.3% and 33.2%, respectively, primarily impacted by state taxes, non-deductible compensation, certain stock-based compensation and other non-deductible expenses. In accordance with ASC 740-10, Income Taxes, the Company evaluates the need for deferred tax asset valuation allowances based on a more likely than not standard. The ability to realize deferred tax assets depends on the ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carryforward periods provided for in the tax law for each applicable tax jurisdiction. The Company considers the following possible sources of taxable income when assessing the realization of deferred tax assets: •Future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences; •Future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards; and •Tax-planning strategies. The assessment regarding whether a valuation allowance is required or should be adjusted also considers all available positive and negative evidence factors, including but not limited to: •Nature, frequency, and severity of recent losses; •Duration of statutory carryforward periods; •Historical experience with tax attributes expiring unused; and •Near- and medium-term financial outlook. The Company utilizes a rolling three years of actual and current year anticipated results as the primary measure of cumulative income/losses in recent years, as adjusted for permanent differences. The evaluation of deferred tax assets requires judgment in assessing the likely future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns and future profitability. The Company's accounting for deferred tax consequences represents its best estimate of those future events. Changes in the Company's current estimates, due to unanticipated events, could have a material effect on its financial condition and results of operations. The Company has a $1.2 million valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2024. Based on the Company’s current assessment, the remaining net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2024 are considered more likely than not to be realized. The valuation allowance of $1.2 million may be increased or reduced as conditions change or if the Company is unable to implement certain available tax planning strategies. The realization of the Company’s net deferred tax assets ultimately depends on future taxable income, reversals of existing taxable temporary differences or through a loss carry back.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Operating Leases. The Company leases machinery, equipment, and office and operational facilities under non-cancelable operating lease agreements used in the ordinary course of business. Certain lease agreements for the Company's facilities generally contain renewal options and provide for annual increases in rent based on the local Consumer Price Index. Refer to Note 7, Leasing, on the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for a schedule of the Company's future minimum operating lease payments. Legal Proceedings. The Company is involved, and will continue to be involved, in legal proceedings arising out of the conduct of the Company's business, including commercial and employment-related lawsuits. Some of these lawsuits purport or may be determined to be class actions and seek substantial damages, and some may remain unresolved for several years. The Company establishes accruals for specific legal proceedings when it is considered probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company's evaluation of whether a loss is reasonably probable is based on the Company's assessment and consultation with legal counsel regarding the ultimate outcome of the matter. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has accrued for the potential impact of loss contingencies that are probable and reasonably estimable. The Company does not currently believe that the ultimate resolution of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. However, the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. Site Remediation Obligation. As part of a business acquisition in the 1990s, the Company purchased a site located in California where a commercial gas station had operated from 1939 until approximately 1986. Prior to the Company's acquisition, the gas station was demolished and its underground storage tanks were removed. Environmental monitoring of the property was conducted from 1987 through 2017 under the oversight of the local County's Department of Environmental Health ("CDEH") and it eventually revealed petroleum products in the soil, groundwater, and the air in between soil particles. As a result, a Corrective Action Implementation Plan ("CAIP") detailing remedial clean-up methods at the site was required to be submitted in 2020. Accordingly, the Company recorded a liability on an undiscounted basis of $0.6 million in 2020, the estimated cost, to remediate the site. The 2020 CAIP was approved by the CDEH, but based on additional site data, the department requested a submission of addenda to the CAIP to address other site conditions. The additional review conducted in the fourth quarter of 2023 identified certain potential risks arising out of a structure on a neighboring property. As a result, in December of 2023, the CDEH requested that an alternative remedial plan be developed and submitted, to address the structural aspects of the site. The additional concerns identified in 2023 required that the new plan be designed in a way that is significantly more expensive than the original plan, is more complicated, and will result in a longer duration to remediate the site. The Company is in the process of finalizing an alternative plan with the guidance and expertise of an environmental consulting firm engaged expressly for this purpose, which will need to be approved by the CDEH. The Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets include a liability on an undiscounted basis for the site remediation of $4.3 million and $4.5 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively of which $2.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively, is classified as a current liability. As of June 30, 2024, the liability represents the Company's estimate of the probable cleanup, investigation, and remediation costs based on available information. The Company anticipates that most of this liability will be paid out over seven years, but some costs may be paid out over a longer period. As noted above, the estimate of the final remediation expenses may change over time because of the varying costs of currently available cleanup techniques, unpredictable contaminant reduction rates associated with available cleanup techniques, and the difficulty of determining in advance the nature and full extent of contamination. However, evolving statutory and regulatory standards, their interpretation, more vigorous enforcement policies of regulatory agencies, or stricter or different interpretations of existing statutory and regulatory standards, may require additional expenditures by the Company, which may be material. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company will not incur significant additional environmental compliance costs in the future.

Stock-Based Compensation	6 Months Ended
Stock-Based Compensation	Jun. 30, 2024
Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation On April 29, 2021, the Company's stockholders approved the Company's 2021 Incentive Plan, replacing the 2014 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, which is the only equity incentive plan under which the Company can currently grant equity incentive awards. The 2021 Incentive Plan provides for the grant of incentive and non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock bonuses and other forms of awards granted or denominated in the Company's common stock or units of the Company's common stock, as well as cash bonus awards, to employees, directors and consultants of the Company. On April 26, 2023, the Company's stockholders approved an amendment to the 2021 Incentive Plan ("Amended 2021 Plan") to increase the aggregate number of equity incentive shares authorized for issuance by 5,000,000 shares of common stock. Under the Amended 2021 Plan, the Company is authorized to issue up to 8.5 million shares plus such additional number of shares of common stock (up to 6,132,593 shares) as is equal to the number of shares of common stock subject to awards granted under the 2014 Incentive Plan and the Company's 2005 Stock Plan, which awards expire, terminate or are otherwise surrendered, cancelled, forfeited or repurchased by the Company pursuant to a contractual repurchase right. As of June 30, 2024, 4.2 million shares remained available for issuance under the 2021 Incentive Plan. Stock options granted under the Company's stock plan generally expire no later than ten years from the date of grant. Options generally vest and become fully exercisable over a period of three to four years from date of award, except that options granted to non-employee directors may vest over a shorter time period. The exercise price of options is equal to at least 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The Company allows for cashless exercises of vested outstanding options. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company granted options to acquire a total of 0.8 million shares of the Company's common stock to certain key employees with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. These stock options vest annually over three years to four years from the grant date and expire ten years after the date of grant. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company granted 0.5 million shares of restricted stock awards to certain key employees with a deemed issuance price per share equal to the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date the restricted stock was granted. These restricted stock awards vest annually over three years from the grant date. Stock-based compensation expense was $0.7 million and $1.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to stock-based compensation expense of $0.5 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock-based payments totaled $3.6 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2 years.

Fair Value Measurements	6 Months Ended
Fair Value Measurements	Jun. 30, 2024
Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, the Company has categorized its assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value into a three-level fair value hierarchy. If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows: Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. As of June 30, 2024, the Company's assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value were not material. Fair Values of Financial Instruments. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments for disclosure purposes: Cash equivalents: Cash equivalents are time deposits with a maturity of three months or less when purchased, which are highly liquid and readily convertible to cash. There were no cash equivalents reported in the Company’s interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2024. Cash equivalents reported in the Company's interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet were $1.2 million as of December 31, 2023 and are carried at cost and approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity of these instruments. Short- and long-term debt and finance leases: The carrying amount of the Company's finance leases reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2024 approximates fair value based on the Company's current incremental borrowing rate for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The carrying amount reported in the Company’s interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2024 for borrowings under its 2021 Credit Agreement is $40.0 million. The Company has determined, that borrowings under its 2021 Credit Agreement of $40.0 million as of June 30, 2024 approximates its fair value.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in conformity with the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information required by GAAP for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted. In management’s opinion, the accompanying interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature that are necessary to fairly present the interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and relies on historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances to determine such estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences may be material to the interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Noncontrolling Interest	Noncontrolling Interest The Company accounted for its investment in UNIS Document Solutions Co. Ltd. ("UDS"), under the purchase method of accounting, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805, Business Combinations. UDS has been consolidated in the Company's financial statements from the date of acquisition. Noncontrolling interest, which represents the 35% noncontrolling interest in UDS owned by the joint venture ("JV") partner, is reflected on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to ARC's customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Digital Printing consists of professional services and software services to (i) reproduce and distribute large-format and small-format documents in either black and white or color (“Ordered Prints”) and (ii) specialized graphic color printing. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue from Digital Printing comes from professional services to reproduce Ordered Prints. Sales of Ordered Prints are initiated through a customer order or quote and are governed by established terms and conditions agreed upon at the onset of the customer relationship. Revenue is recognized when the performance obligation under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied, which generally occurs with the transfer of control of the Ordered Prints. Transfer of control occurs at a specific point in time, when the Ordered Prints are delivered to the customer’s site or handed to the customer for walk-in orders. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Taxes collected concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. MPS consists of placement, management, and optimization of print and imaging equipment in customers' offices, job sites, and other facilities. MPS relieves the Company’s customers of the burden of purchasing print equipment and related supplies and maintaining print devices and print networks, and it shifts their costs to a “per-use” basis. MPS is supported by the Company's hosted proprietary technology, Abacus®, which allows customers to capture, control, manage, print, and account for their documents. Under its MPS contracts, the Company is paid a fixed rate per unit for each print produced (per-use), often referred to as a “click charge”. MPS sales are driven by the ongoing print needs of the Company’s customers at their facilities. Certain MPS arrangements are accounted for as operating leases under ASC 842, Leases. Scanning and Digital Imaging combines software and professional services to facilitate the capture, management, access and retrieval of documents and information that have been produced in the past. Scanning and Digital Imaging includes the Company's hosted SKYSITE ® software and ARC Facilities solution to organize, search and retrieve documents, as well as the provision of services that include the capture and conversion of hardcopy and electronic documents into digital files (“Scanned Documents”), and their cloud-based storage and maintenance. Sales of Scanning and Digital Imaging professional services, which represent substantially all revenue for the business line, are initiated through a customer order or proposal and are governed by established terms and conditions agreed upon at the onset of the customer relationship. Revenue is recognized when the performance obligation under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of the digital files. Transfer of control occurs at a specific point-in-time, when the Scanned Documents are delivered to the customer either through SKYSITE, ARC Facilities, or through other electronic media. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Taxes collected concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Equipment and Supplies sales consist of reselling printing, imaging, and related equipment (“Goods”) to customers primarily in architectural, engineering and construction firms. Sales of Equipment and Supplies are initiated through a customer order and are governed by established terms and conditions agreed upon at the onset of the customer relationship. Revenue is recognized when the performance obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of the Goods. Transfer of control occurs at a specific point-in-time, when the Goods are delivered to the customer’s site. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Taxes collected concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. The Company has experienced minimal customer returns or refunds and does not offer a warranty on equipment that it is reselling.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which requires public entities to disclose specific tax rate reconciliation categories, as well as income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction, amongst other disclosure enhancements. The ASU is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The ASU can be adopted on a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company is evaluating the disclosure requirements related to the new standard. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which updates reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and information used to assess segment performance. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Retrospective adoption is required for all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is evaluating the disclosure requirements related to the new standard.
Segment Reporting	Segment Reporting The provisions of ASC 280, Segment Reporting, require public companies to report financial and descriptive information about their reportable operating segments. The Company identifies operating segments based on the various business activities that earn revenue and incur expense and whose operating results are reviewed by the Company's Chief Executive Officer, who is the Company's chief operating decision maker. Because its operating segments have similar products and services, classes of customers, production processes, distribution methods and economic characteristics, the Company operates as a single reportable segment.
Risk and Uncertainties	Risk and Uncertainties The Company generates a significant portion of its revenue from sales of services and products to customers in the architectural, engineering, construction and building owner/operator ("AEC/O") industry. As a result, the Company's results largely depend on the strength of that industry. The Company's historical operating results reflect the cyclical and variable nature of the AEC/O industry. ARC believes that the AEC/O industry generally experiences downturns several months after a downturn in the general economy, and that there may be a similar delay in the recovery of the AEC/O industry following a recovery of the general economy. A downturn in the AEC/O industry would diminish demand for all of the Company's products and services, and would therefore negatively affect the Company's revenues and have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition. As part of the Company’s growth strategy, ARC intends to continue to offer and grow a variety of service offerings that are relatively new to the company. The success of the Company's efforts will be affected by its ability to acquire new customers for the Company's new service offerings as well as sell the new service offerings to existing customers. The Company’s inability to successfully market and execute these relatively new service offerings could significantly affect its business and reduce its long- term revenue, resulting in an adverse effect on its results of operations and financial condition.
Earnings per Share	The Company accounts for earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to ARC by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed similarly to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if shares subject to outstanding options and acquisition rights had been issued and if the additional shares were dilutive. Common share equivalents are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Goodwill	Goodwill In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, the Company assesses goodwill for impairment annually as of September 30, and more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. At September 30, 2023, the Company performed its annual assessment and determined that goodwill was not impaired. Goodwill impairment testing is performed at the reporting unit level. Goodwill is assigned to reporting units at the date the goodwill is initially recorded. Once goodwill has been assigned to reporting units, it no longer retains its association with a particular acquisition, and all of the activities within a reporting unit, whether acquired or internally generated, are available to support the value of the goodwill. There can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the Company’s goodwill impairment analysis in 2023 will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. If the Company’s assumptions, including forecasted EBITDA of certain reporting units, are not achieved, then the Company may be required to record goodwill impairment charges in future periods, whether in connection with the next annual impairment testing in the third quarter of 2024, or on an interim basis, if any such change constitutes a triggering event (as defined under ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other) outside of the quarter when the Company regularly performs its annual goodwill impairment test. It is not possible at this time to determine if any such future impairment charge would result or, if it does, whether such charge would be material.
Long-Lived Assets	The Company periodically assesses potential impairments of its long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets. An impairment review is performed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company groups its assets at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of the other assets and liabilities. The Company has determined that the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are available is the regional level, which is the operating segment level. Factors considered by the Company include, but are not limited to, significant underperformance relative to historical or projected operating results; significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and significant negative industry or economic trends. When the carrying value of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, the Company estimates the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows and eventual disposition is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the Company recognizes an impairment loss. An impairment loss is reflected as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset, based on the fair value if available, or discounted cash flows, if fair value is not available. The Company assessed potential impairments of its long-lived assets as of September 30, 2023 and concluded that there was no impairment.
Other Intangible Assets	Other intangible assets that have finite lives are amortized over their useful lives. Customer relationships are amortized using the accelerated method, based on customer attrition rates, over their estimated useful lives of 13 (weighted average) years.
Fair Value Measurements	In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, the Company has categorized its assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value into a three-level fair value hierarchy. If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows: Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
