Financial Results In-Line with Expectations and Reaffirms Full-Year 2026 Financial GuidanceSUSSEX, Wis., April 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Quad/Graphics, Inc. (NYSE: QUAD) ("Quad" or the "Company"), a marketing experience company that solves complex marketing challenges for its clients, today reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.







Recent HighlightsRealized Net Sales of $581 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $629 million in the first quarter of 2025, representing a 7.7% decline in Net Sales or a 4.3% decline in Net Sales excluding the February 28, 2025, divestiture of the Company's European operations.Recognized Net Earnings of $6 million, or $0.13 Diluted Earnings Per Share, in the first quarter of 2026, compared to Net Earnings of $6 million, or $0.11 Diluted Earnings Per Share, in 2025.Reported Adjusted EBITDA of $45 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $46 million in 2025.Achieved $0.25 Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share in the first quarter of 2026, an increase of 25% from $0.20 per share in 2025.Recognized at the Gramercy Institute's Financial Service Strategy Awards, demonstrating impact of Quad's integrated direct marketing work.Repurchased 0.2 million shares of Quad Class A common stock in 2026, bringing total repurchases to 7.6 million shares since initiating the program in 2022, representing approximately 13.6% of shares outstanding as of March 31, 2022.Returned $7 million to shareholders through $6 million of regular cash dividends and $1 million of share repurchases.Declared quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share payable June 5, 2026.Reaffirms full-year 2026 financial guidance.Joel Quadracci, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Quad, said: "Our first quarter results were in-line with our expectations, and we remain on track to achieve our full-year 2026 guidance. We remain focused on achieving our long-term growth and margin objectives while maintaining disciplined cost management despite macroeconomic challenges, including continued postage rate increases and cost pressures in our supply chain stemming from the ongoing conflict in the Middle East."We are making strategic investments in innovative marketing solutions and high-caliber talent to expand our offering and strengthen client relationships. We are seeing strong momentum in Quad's audience strategy services, powered by our proprietary, household-based data stack. Our formalized Direct Marketing Agency combines audience services with pre-market testing and analysis to drive more effective mail prospecting. Similarly, our Rise media agency brings together data-driven intelligence with AI-powered insights to deliver customized omnichannel media strategies that help clients achieve measurable business outcomes."Operationally, we are providing clients with multiple optimization solutions, including advanced co-mailing capabilities, to generate significant savings that help reduce the impact of rising postage costs. We are further strengthening our cost structure by investing in automation and adopting AI-enabled tools, which are improving productivity, speed and agility across our platform. These efforts further differentiate Quad in a competitive marketplace."Added Tony Staniak, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of Quad: "We are reaffirming our 2026 full-year financial guidance with an improved sales decline rate and essentially flat Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow compared to 2025, representing a key step on our path to long-term growth. We are closely monitoring the current business climate which continues to present uncertainty, driven by factors including persistent inflationary pressures, evolving global trade dynamics, geopolitical tensions and cautious business spending. As we have demonstrated in prior periods of disruption, we remain agile and ready to adapt to shifting demand. While allocating capital to fuel long-term growth, we are also returning capital to shareholders through our quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share and we have repurchased $1 million of Quad shares year-to-date. We expect to remain opportunistic in terms of future share repurchases."First Quarter 2026 Financial ResultsNet Sales were $581 million in the first quarter of 2026, a decrease of 7.7% compared to the same period in 2025. Excluding the 3.4% impact of the divestiture of the Company's European operations, Net Sales declined 4.3%. The decline in Net Sales was primarily due to lower print volumes and lower agency solutions sales.Net Earnings were $6 million, or $0.13 Diluted Earnings Per Share, in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $6 million, or $0.11 Diluted Earnings Per Share, in the first quarter of 2025. The improvement was primarily due to lower selling, general and administrative expenses, lower interest expense, lower depreciation and amortization, and benefits from increased manufacturing productivity, partially offset by the impact from lower Net Sales, increased restructuring, impairment and transaction-related charges, net, and increased income tax expense. Diluted Earnings Per Share were also higher due to the impact of share repurchases and lower dilutive equity incentive instruments.Adjusted EBITDA was $45 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $46 million in the same period in 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the impact of lower Net Sales partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses, and benefits from improved manufacturing productivity.Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share was $0.25 in the first quarter of 2026, as compared to $0.20 in the first quarter of 2025.Net Cash Used in Operating Activities was $94 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $89 million in the first quarter of 2025. Free Cash Flow was negative $107 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to negative $100 million in the first quarter of 2025. The decline in Free Cash Flow was primarily due to the increase in Net Cash Used in Operating Activities mainly from higher inventories and a $2 million increase in capital expenditures. As a reminder, the Company historically generates most of its Free Cash Flow in the fourth quarter of the year.Net Debt was $427 million at March 31, 2026, as compared to $308 million at December 31, 2025, and $463 million at March 31, 2025. Compared to December 31, 2025, Net Debt increased primarily due to the negative $107 million Free Cash Flow in the first quarter of 2026.DividendQuad's next quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share will be payable on June 5, 2026, to shareholders of record as of May 21, 2026.2026 GuidanceThe Company's full-year 2026 financial guidance is unchanged and is as follows: Financial Metric2026 Guidance RangeAdjusted Annual Net Sales Change (1)1% to 5% declineFull-Year Adjusted EBITDA$175 million to $215 millionFree Cash Flow$40 million to $60 millionCapital Expenditures$55 million to $65 millionYear-End Net Debt Leverage Ratio (2)Approximately 1.5x(1) Adjusted Annual Net Sales Change excludes the 2025 Net Sales of $23 million from the Company's European operations, divested on February 28, 2025.(2) Net Debt Leverage Ratio is calculated at the midpoint of the Adjusted EBITDA guidance.Conference Call and Webcast InformationQuad will hold a live webcast and conference call to discuss the results on Wednesday, April 29, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. ET. Those wishing to participate via the webcast should access the call through the investor relations section of Quad's website at quad.com/investor-relations.

Forward-looking statements include statements regarding, among other things, our current expectations about the Company's future results, financial condition, sales, earnings, free cash flow, capital expenditures, leverage, margins, objectives, goals, strategies, beliefs, intentions, plans, estimates, prospects, projections and outlook of the Company, including information under the heading "2026 Guidance," and can generally be identified by the use of words or phrases such as "may," "will," "expect," "intend," "estimate," "anticipate," "plan," "foresee," "project," "believe," or "continue" or the negatives of these terms, variations on them and other similar expressions. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which may cause actual results to be materially different from those expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based largely on the Company's expectations and judgments and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are unforeseeable and beyond our control.The factors that could cause actual results to materially differ include, among others: the impact of increased business complexity as a result of the Company's transformation to a marketing experience company, including adapting marketing offerings and business processes as required by new markets; the impact of decreasing demand for printing services and significant overcapacity in a highly competitive environment creating downward pricing pressures and potential under-utilization of assets; the impact of changes in postal rates, service levels or regulations; the impact of rapid changes in technology, including artificial intelligence, and the risk the Company is unable to adapt its marketing offerings to compete in this technology-driven environment; the impact of increases in its operating costs, including the cost and availability of raw materials (such as paper, ink components and other materials), inventory, parts for equipment, labor, fuel and other energy costs and freight rates, and the risk the Company is unable to pass along such increases to clients; the impact macroeconomic conditions, including elevated interest rates, postal rate increases, tariffs, trade restrictions, cost pressures and the price and availability of paper, have had, and may continue to have, on the Company's business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations (including future uncertain impacts); the risk the Company is unable to reduce costs and improve operating efficiency rapidly enough to meet market conditions; the impact of a data-breach of sensitive information, ransomware attack or other cyber incident on the Company; the fragility and decline in overall distribution channels; the failure to attract and retain qualified talent across the enterprise; the impact of digital media and similar technological changes, including digital substitution by consumers; the failure of clients to perform under contracts or to renew contracts with clients on favorable terms or at all; the failure to successfully identify, manage, complete and integrate acquisitions, investment opportunities or other significant transactions, as well as the successful identification and execution of strategic divestitures; the impact negative publicity could have on our business and brand reputation; the impact of risks associated with the operations outside of the United States ("U.S."), including trade restrictions, currency fluctuations, the global economy, costs incurred or reputational damage suffered due to improper conduct of its employees, contractors or agents, and geopolitical events like war and terrorism; the impact of significant capital expenditures and investments that may be needed to sustain and grow the Company's platforms, processes, systems, client and product technology, marketing and talent, to remain technologically and economically competitive, and to adapt to future changes, such as artificial intelligence; the impact of the various restrictive covenants in the Company's debt facilities on the Company's ability to operate its business, as well as the uncertain negative impacts macroeconomic conditions may have on the Company's ability to continue to be in compliance with these restrictive covenants; the impact of an other than temporary decline in operating results and enterprise value that could lead to non-cash impairment charges due to the impairment of property, plant and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets; the impact of regulatory matters and legislative developments or changes in laws, including changes in cybersecurity, consumer protection, safety, privacy and environmental laws; and the impact on the holders of Quad's class A common stock of a limited active market for such shares and the inability to independently elect directors or control decisions due to the voting power of the class B common stock; and the other risk factors identified in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, which may be amended or supplemented by subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.Except to the extent required by the federal securities laws, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.Non-GAAP Financial Measures This press release contains financial measures not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (referred to as non-GAAP), specifically EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow, Net Debt, Net Debt Leverage Ratio and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net earnings (loss) excluding interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), restructuring, impairment and transaction-related charges, net and the settlement charge from defined benefit pension plan annuitization. EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are defined as EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA divided by Net Sales. Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment. Net Debt Leverage Ratio is defined as total debt and finance lease obligations less cash and cash equivalents (Net Debt) divided by the trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share is defined as earnings (loss) before income taxes excluding restructuring, impairment and transaction-related charges, net, and adjusted for income tax expense at a normalized tax rate, divided by diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding.The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, provide additional information for evaluating Quad's performance and are important measures by which Quad's management assesses the profitability and liquidity of its business. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, net earnings (loss) as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities as a measure of liquidity. These non-GAAP measures may be different than non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Reconciliations to the GAAP equivalent of these non-GAAP measures are contained in tabular form on the attached unaudited financial statements.Investor Relations Contact

(NYSE: QUAD), announced it is enacting an immediate, temporary surcharge on its printing inks, UV coating and varnishes to help offset increasing costs impacting its ink manufacturing subsidiary Chemical Research/Technology (CR/T).

Achieved 2025 Financial GuidanceIntroduces 2026 Financial Guidance 
Consistent with Progress Toward 2028 OutlookIncreased Quarterly Dividend 
by 33% to $0.10 Per ShareSUSSEX, Wis., Feb. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Quad/Graphics, Inc. (NYSE: QUAD) ("Quad" or the "Company"), a marketing experience company that solves complex marketing challenges for its clients, today reported results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.







Recent HighlightsRealized Net Sales of $2.4 billion in 2025 compared to $2.7 billion in 2024, representing a 9.4% decline in Net Sales, or a 4.8% decline in Net Sales when excluding the 4.6% impact of the divestiture of the Company's European operations, compared to 9.7% decline in 2024.Improved Net Earnings to $27 million or $0.54 Diluted Earnings Per Share in 2025 compared to Net Loss of $51 million or $1.07 Diluted Loss Per Share in 2024.Reported Adjusted EBITDA of $196 million in 2025 compared to $224 million in 2024.Increased Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share by 19% to $1.01 in 2025 compared to $0.85 per share in 2024.Delivered $96 million of Net Cash provided by Operating Activities and $51 million of Free Cash Flow in 2025, while also generating $37 million of cash from asset sales, including the sale of the Greenville, Mich., building and an ancillary building in Sussex, Wis., during the fourth quarter.Continued to win integrated creative and media work with premier brands, including Scandinavian Designs, Valvoline Instant Oil Change and The Gorilla Glue Company.Completed the integration of Enru's co-mail volume and high-density co-mailing capabilities, expanding mail pool sizes, improving sortation levels, and delivering higher postage savings for clients.Reduced Net Debt by $42 million during 2025 to $308 million and achieved Net Debt Leverage of 1.57x at December 31, 2025.De-risked pension plan by annuitizing approximately one-third of pension obligations. Provided $22 million of shareholder returns in 2025 through $14 million of cash dividends and $8 million of share repurchases.Declared quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share payable March 13, 2026, enabled by strong cash flow.Introduces 2026 guidance with continued progress toward 2028 financial outlook.Joel Quadracci, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Quad, said: "In 2025, we made significant operational progress and delivered solid financial results, achieving our full-year financial guidance. While reported sales declined as planned, we generated strong cash flow, reinforcing our ability to invest in long-term growth, reduce debt and provide strong shareholder returns."We are gaining momentum in shifting our revenue mix toward higher-value offerings, including Targeted Print—such as direct mail, packaging and in-store—and integrated marketing services, supported by our data and technology capabilities. Strong demand for these solutions is driving larger, more strategic engagements with leading brands, which we believe will support sustainable long-term growth."Operationally, we advanced key initiatives to strengthen our cost structure and scale, including automation, AI-enabled tools and the integration of Enru's co-mailing capabilities. These improvements are driving greater cost efficiency and allow us to deliver meaningful value to our clients, including helping offset escalating postage costs. In 2026, we remain focused on executing our strategy and advancing toward our long-term growth and margin objectives."Added Tony Staniak, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of Quad: "The 2025 financial results and our 2026 financial guidance demonstrate meaningful progress toward achieving an inflection to Net Sales growth in 2028. Our Net Sales decline improved from 9.7% in 2024 to 4.8% in 2025 excluding the European divestiture, and in 2026 we anticipate further improvement to a decline of 3% at the midpoint of our guidance range. With continued strong cash generation in 2025, we further strengthened our balance sheet by reducing Net Debt during 2025 by $42 million, or 12%, to $308 million at the end of the year, and achieved 1.57x Net Debt Leverage, which is near the low end of our targeted long-term leverage range of 1.5x to 2.0x. Additionally, we provided $22 million of shareholder returns, including $14 million of cash dividends and $8 million of share repurchases. Looking forward to 2026, we recently announced a 33% increase in our dividend to $0.10 per share quarterly, or $0.40 per share annually. We also expect to remain opportunistic in terms of future share repurchases."Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial ResultsNet Sales were $631 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, a decrease of 11.0% compared to the same period in 2024. Excluding the 5.3% impact of the divestiture of the Company's European operations, Net Sales declined 5.7%. The decline in Net Sales was primarily due to lower paper sales, lower print volumes, and lower logistics sales.Net Earnings were $11 million, or $0.22 Diluted Earnings Per Share, in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to $5 million, or $0.09 Diluted Earnings Per Share, in the fourth quarter of 2024. The improvement was primarily due to the following: (1) lower restructuring, impairment and transaction-related charges, net; (2) lower selling, general and administrative expenses; (3) lower depreciation and amortization; (4) lower interest expense; and (5) benefits from increased manufacturing productivity, partially offset by the following: (1) the impact from lower Net Sales; (2) a non-cash settlement charge from defined benefit pension plan annuitization; (3) increased investments in innovative offerings to drive future revenue growth; and (4) the divestiture of the Company's European operations.Adjusted EBITDA was $55 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $63 million in the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the impact of lower Net Sales, increased investments in innovative offerings to drive future revenue growth, and the divestiture of the Company's European operations, partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses and benefits from improved manufacturing productivity.Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share was $0.36 in the fourth quarter of 2025 and 2024.Full-Year 2025 Financial ResultsNet Sales were $2.4 billion in 2025, a decrease of 9.4% compared to 2024, or a 4.8% decline in Net Sales excluding the divestiture of the Company's European operations. This decrease was primarily due to lower paper sales, lower print volumes, and lower logistics and agency sales, including the loss of a large grocery client in 2024, which annualized at the beginning of March 2025.Net Earnings were $27 million in 2025 compared to a Net Loss of $51 million in 2024. The improvement was primarily due to the following: (1) lower restructuring, impairment and transaction-related charges, net; (2) lower selling, general and administrative expenses; (3) lower depreciation and amortization; (4) lower interest expense; and (5) benefits from increased manufacturing productivity, partially offset by the following: (1) impact from lower Net Sales; (2) a non-cash settlement charge from defined benefit pension plan annuitization; (3) increased investments in innovative offerings to drive future revenue growth; and (4) the divestiture of the Company's European operations.Adjusted EBITDA was $196 million in 2025, a decrease of $28 million compared to 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the impact of lower Net Sales, increased investments in innovative offerings to drive future revenue growth, and the divestiture of the Company's European operations, partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses, and benefits from increased manufacturing productivity.Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share was $1.01 in 2025, increased 19% from $0.85 in 2024.Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities was $96 million in 2025 compared to $113 million in 2024. Free Cash Flow was $51 million compared to $56 million in 2024. The decline in Free Cash Flow was primarily due to a $17 million decrease in Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities mainly driven by timing of working capital, partially offset by a $12 million decrease in capital expenditures.Net Debt was $308 million at December 31, 2025, reduced from $350 million at December 31, 2024. The Debt Leverage Ratio was essentially flat at 1.57x at December 31, 2025, compared to 1.56x at December 31, 2024.DividendQuad's next quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share will be payable on March 13, 2026, to shareholders of record as of February 27, 2026.2026 GuidanceThe Company's full-year 2026 financial guidance is as follows: Financial Metric2025 Actuals2026 Guidance RangeAdjusted Annual Net Sales Change (1)4.8% decline1% to 5% declineFull-Year Adjusted EBITDA $196 million$175 million to $215 millionFree Cash Flow $51 million$40 million to $60 millionCapital Expenditures $45 million$55 million to $65 millionYear-End Net Debt Leverage Ratio (2) 1.57xApproximately 1.5x(1) Adjusted Annual Net Sales Change excludes the 2025 Net Sales of $23 million and the 2024 Net Sales of $153 million from the Company's European operations, divested on February 28, 2025.(2) Net Debt Leverage Ratio is calculated at the midpoint of the Adjusted EBITDA guidance.Conference Call and Webcast InformationQuad will hold a conference call at 8:30 a.m. ET on Wednesday, February 18, 2026, hosted by Joel Quadracci, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Quad, and Tony Staniak, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of Quad.

These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which may cause actual results to be materially different from those expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based largely on the Company's expectations and judgments and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are unforeseeable and beyond our control.The factors that could cause actual results to materially differ include, among others: the impact of increased business complexity as a result of the Company's transformation to a marketing experience company, including adapting marketing offerings and business processes as required by new markets; the impact of decreasing demand for printing services and significant overcapacity in a highly competitive environment creating downward pricing pressures and potential under-utilization of assets; the impact of changes in postal rates, service levels or regulations; the impact of rapid changes in technology, including artificial intelligence, and the risk the Company is unable to adapt its marketing offerings to compete in this technology-driven environment; the impact of increases in its operating costs, including the cost and availability of raw materials (such as paper, ink components and other materials), inventory, parts for equipment, labor, fuel and other energy costs and freight rates, and the risk the Company is unable to pass along such increases to clients; the impact macroeconomic conditions, including elevated interest rates, postal rate increases, tariffs, trade restrictions, cost pressures and the price and availability of paper, have had, and may continue to have, on the Company's business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations (including future uncertain impacts); the risk the Company is unable to reduce costs and improve operating efficiency rapidly enough to meet market conditions; the impact of a data-breach of sensitive information, ransomware attack or other cyber incident on the Company; the fragility and decline in overall distribution channels; the failure to attract and retain qualified talent across the enterprise; the impact of digital media and similar technological changes, including digital substitution by consumers; the failure of clients to perform under contracts or to renew contracts with clients on favorable terms or at all; the failure to successfully identify, manage, complete and integrate acquisitions, investment opportunities or other significant transactions, as well as the successful identification and execution of strategic divestitures; the impact negative publicity could have on our business and brand reputation; the impact of risks associated with the operations outside of the United States ("U.S."), including trade restrictions, currency fluctuations, the global economy, costs incurred or reputational damage suffered due to improper conduct of its employees, contractors or agents, and geopolitical events like war and terrorism; the impact of significant capital expenditures and investments that may be needed to sustain and grow the Company's platforms, processes, systems, client and product technology, marketing and talent, to remain technologically and economically competitive, and to adapt to future changes, such as artificial intelligence; the impact of the various restrictive covenants in the Company's debt facilities on the Company's ability to operate its business, as well as the uncertain negative impacts macroeconomic conditions may have on the Company's ability to continue to be in compliance with these restrictive covenants; the impact of an other than temporary decline in operating results and enterprise value that could lead to non-cash impairment charges due to the impairment of property, plant and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets; the impact of regulatory matters and legislative developments or changes in laws, including changes in cyber-security, consumer protection, safety, privacy and environmental laws; and the impact on the holders of Quad's class A common stock of a limited active market for such shares and the inability to independently elect directors or control decisions due to the voting power of the class B common stock; and the other risk factors identified in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, which may be amended or supplemented by subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.Except to the extent required by the federal securities laws, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresThis press release contains financial measures not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (referred to as non-GAAP), specifically EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow, Net Debt, Net Debt Leverage Ratio and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net earnings (loss) excluding interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), restructuring, impairment and transaction-related charges, net and the settlement charge from defined benefit pension plan annuitization. EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are defined as EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA divided by Net Sales. Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment. Net Debt Leverage Ratio is defined as total debt and finance lease obligations less cash and cash equivalents (Net Debt) divided by the last twelve months of Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share is defined as earnings (loss) before income taxes excluding restructuring, impairment and transaction-related charges, net and the settlement charge from defined benefit pension plan annuitization, and adjusted for income tax expense at a normalized tax rate, divided by diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding.The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, provide additional information for evaluating Quad's performance and are important measures by which Quad's management assesses the profitability and liquidity of its business. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, net earnings (loss) as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity. These non-GAAP measures may be different than non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Reconciliations to the GAAP equivalent of these non-GAAP measures are contained in tabular form on the attached unaudited financial statements.Investor Relations ContactJulie Fraundorf

Quad Provides Business Update Related to COVID-19

Source: Business Wire

Company Takes Actions to Realign Business in Response to Changes in Near Term Customer Demand

Quad/Graphics, Inc. (NYSE: QUAD) (“Quad” or the “Company”) today provided a business update on its actions taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Quad has been executing business continuity plans focused on protecting the health and well-being of its employees, while also continuing to service customers, and protect the long-term financial health of the Company as the COVID-19 pandemic evolves.

“The health and safety of our employees remains our top priority,” said Joel Quadracci, Quad’s Chairman, President and CEO. “We have directed employees who can work from home to do so, as well as implemented additional social distancing and sanitizing precautions to ensure the safety of our employees working in essential manufacturing facilities. We have implemented a temporary furlough program throughout all areas of the Company and have temporarily ceased operations at a number of our manufacturing facilities. We will continue to prioritize the health and well-being of our employees while making the tough but necessary decisions to protect the financial health of Quad. Through it all, we will continue to provide extraordinary client service and quality to quickly meet our clients changing needs and innovate new ideas to help them maintain business continuity and consumer engagement during this period of uncertainty.”

Recent COVID-19 Actions:

Suspended all domestic and international travel;

Implemented temporary salary reductions for over 300 leaders, including a 50% salary reduction for the CEO and a 35% reduction for the other named executive officers;

At the recommendation of the Board of Directors, temporarily reduced directors’ fees by 50%;

Implemented a temporary employee furlough program with Company-paid medical benefits;

Changed vacation policies;

Suspended production at several manufacturing facilities where declining client volume or other effects of the pandemic have impacted the Company’s ability to operate;

Delayed capital spending projects; and

Increased borrowings by $100 million under the credit facility to increase cash on hand to approximately $200 million to ensure continued financial flexibility.

Given the uncertainty of the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, Quad is withdrawing its full-year 2020 financial guidance issued on February 18, 2020. Additionally, due to uncertainty in customer demand as a result of COVID-19, the Board of Directors made the proactive decision to temporarily suspend the Company’s quarterly dividend of $0.15 per share. The Company remains committed to paying a dividend over the long-term and will seek to resume the dividend following stabilization of its operating environment.

Added Quadracci: “We have faced tough times before and persevered. While the COVID-19 pandemic is unique and presents uncertainty, I am confident in our ability to find a better way and weather this storm.”

Quad Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2019 Results

Strong Customer Service Performance Drives Fourth Quarter Profitability, Free Cash Flow and Reduced Leverage; Positions Company for Accelerated Transformation

Quad/Graphics, Inc. (NYSE: QUAD) (“Quad” or the “Company”) today reported results for its fourth quarter and full-year ending December 31, 2019.

Recent Highlights

Exceeded revised 2019 guidance for net sales, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow.
Reduced Debt Leverage Ratio to 3.1x in the fourth quarter.
Expands cost reduction program to $100 million, to be fully realized in 2020.
Divested Omaha, Neb., packaging plant for $41 million as part of ongoing efforts to optimize its product portfolio.
Declares quarterly dividend of $0.15 per share.
“I am pleased to report that our fourth quarter results exceeded expectations, driven by continued execution against our strategic priorities, including aggressive cost management and increased manufacturing productivity. We had one of the best quarters in the past decade in terms of customer service performance, achieving strong quality and on-time delivery for our clients in their busiest season. This strong performance is due, in large part, to our decision to invest $40 million to increase hourly production employees’ wages, as we saw significant productivity gains throughout the quarter,” said Joel Quadracci, Chairman, President & CEO.

“In 2020, we will continue to make prudent, long-term decisions as we accelerate the transformation of our company as a marketing solutions partner with a strong foundation in print,” Quadracci continued. “This transformation, which we call Quad 3.0, is focused on counteracting ongoing print industry volume declines in order to reposition the business toward growth. During 2019, this strategy led to $225 million of organic incremental sales growth, helping to significantly offset print sales decline. Our ultimate goal is to completely offset the organic sales decline through growth of our higher-margin marketing solutions, which drive revenue across all our products and services.”

Added Quadracci: “We continue to win segment share, which reflects the strength of our offering as well as the long-term financial and operational stability of our company. We recently secured 100 percent of print volumes from two large national magazine publishers, and are onboarding that multi-year work now. We also continue to optimize our product portfolio for the long term through the lens of Quad 3.0. Most recently we divested our Omaha packaging plant to focus on our higher value packaging solutions that help clients create a cohesive brand experience across channels. This follows our decision to divest our book business and sell our industrial wood crating business in 2019.”

Summary Results

Results for the three months ended December 31, 2019, included:

Net Sales (excluding discontinued operations) — Net sales were $1.1 billion in 2019, down 4.9% from 2018. Organic sales declined 5.9% during the quarter, after excluding sales related to the January 2019 acquisition of Periscope. The organic results benefitted from new sales generated from the Company’s Quad 3.0 growth strategy, which were offset by ongoing print industry volume and pricing pressures, and a negative 0.3% impact from foreign exchange.
Net Earnings Attributable to Quad Common Shareholders — Net earnings attributable to Quad common shareholders were $8 million in 2019, or $0.15 diluted earnings per share, as compared to net loss of $21 million in 2018, or $0.42 diluted loss per share. Excluding the results from discontinued operations, net earnings from continuing operations were $7 million in 2019, or $0.14 diluted earnings per share, as compared to net loss from continuing operations of $11 million in 2018, or $0.23 diluted loss per share.
Adjusted EBITDA (excluding discontinued operations) — Adjusted EBITDA was $96 million in 2019, as compared to $118 million in 2018, and Adjusted EBITDA margin was 9.0% in 2019, as compared to 10.5% in 2018. The variance to prior year primarily reflects the impact from the organic sales decline of 5.9%, a $13 million decrease in print profits from the reduction in market price for paper byproduct recoveries, the impact of a $6 million gain in 2018 from a sales tax litigation settlement in Peru, and $5 million of strategic investments made to increase hourly production employees’ wages, partially offset by cost reduction activities.
Results for the full-year ended December 31, 2019, included:

Net Sales (excluding discontinued operations) — Net sales were $3.9 billion in 2019 as compared to $4.0 billion in 2018, down 1.6%. Organic sales declined 3.5% after excluding sales related to the acquisitions of Ivie and Periscope, and an investment in Rise Interactive. The organic results reflect new sales generated from the Company’s Quad 3.0 growth strategy, offset by ongoing print industry volume and pricing pressures, and a negative 0.6% impact from foreign exchange.
Net Loss Attributable to Quad Common Shareholders — Net loss attributable to Quad common shareholders was $156 million in 2019, or $3.12 diluted loss per share, as compared to net earnings of $9 million in 2018, or $0.16 diluted earnings per share. Excluding the results from discontinued operations, net loss from continuing operations was $56 million in 2019, or $1.11 diluted loss per share, as compared to net earnings from continuing operations of $30 million in 2018, or $0.59 diluted earnings per share.
Adjusted EBITDA (excluding discontinued operations) — Adjusted EBITDA was $335 million in 2019, as compared to $428 million in 2018, and Adjusted EBITDA margin was 8.5% in 2019, as compared to 10.7% in 2018. The variance to prior year primarily reflects the impact from the organic sales decline of 3.5%, $33 million in non-recurring benefits in 2018 that did not repeat at the same level in 2019, a $29 million impact from strategic investments made to increase hourly production employees’ wages, and a $27 million decrease in print profits from the reduction in market price for paper byproduct recoveries, partially offset by cost reduction activities.
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities — Net cash provided by operating activities was $156 million in 2019, as compared to $261 million in 2018, primarily due to lower net earnings and $61 million in transaction costs associated with a terminated acquisition during the year.
Free Cash Flow — Free Cash Flow, excluding $61 million in payments from a terminated acquisition, was $106 million in 2019, as compared to $164 million in 2018, primarily due to lower net earnings and increased capital expenditures on long-term investments in automation and productivity improvements in the manufacturing platform.
Dividend

Quad’s next quarterly dividend of $0.15 per share will be payable on March 9, 2020, to shareholders of record as of February 28, 2020.

Dave Honan, Executive Vice President and CFO, concluded: “In fiscal 2020, we remain disciplined in our efforts to manage our costs, and drive earnings and Free Cash Flow growth to reduce our leverage and further strengthen our balance sheet. In line with these goals, we have doubled our previously announced $50 million cost reduction program to $100 million, which we expect to fully realize in 2020. Looking ahead, these efforts, and the ongoing success of our Quad 3.0 strategy, are expected to continue to significantly offset ongoing print industry volume and pricing pressures.”

Quad/Graphics misses by $0.03, beats on revenue
Apr. 30, 2019 4:31 PM ET|About: Quad/Graphics, Inc. (QUAD)|By: Niloofer Shaikh, SA News Editor
Quad/Graphics (NYSE:QUAD): Q1 Non-GAAP EPS of -$0.15 misses by $0.03; GAAP EPS of -$0.45.

Revenue of $1B (+3.4% Y/Y) beats by $20.42M.

Press Release
Net sales increased 3.8% during the first quarter ended March31, 2019, to $1billion, primarily from the impact of the Periscope acquisition. Organic sales declined 0.6% after excluding a 4.4% acquisition sales impact. The organic results reflect ongoing print industry volume and pricing pressures partially offset by an increase in paper sales.

Net Loss attributable to Quad common shareholders during the first quarter of 2019 was $22.5million, or $0.45 Loss Per Share, as compared to a loss of $3.5million, or $0.07 per share, in 2018. Excluding the loss on debt extinguishment in 2019, an employee stock ownership plan contribution in 2018 and restructuring costs, Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted Loss Per Share for the first quarter of 2019 was $0.15 per share compared to earnings of $0.58 per share in the first quarter 2018. First quarter 2019 Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA came in as expected at $70million compared to $110million in the first quarter of 2018, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 7.0% compared to 11.4% in 2018. The Adjusted EBITDA variance to prior-year primarily reflects $22million in non-recurring benefits in 2018 that did not repeat at the same level in 2019, an $8million impact from strategic investments made to increase hourly production employees' wages and the impact from the organic print sales decline of 0.6%, partially offset by the earnings impact from the growth in Quad's integrated services revenues.
