"To counteract the sharp business slowdown we first experienced in November and December, we successfully implemented several initiatives designed to reduce costs and strengthen our operations,'' commented Charles F. White, President and Chief Operating Officer. "We consolidated operations at three of our companies. We also took action throughout our organization to aggressively pursue sales and reduce costs at the same time. As a result of these efforts, we continued to grow market share in a difficult operating environment and achieved an operating margin of 8.2% in the fourth quarter, even though we had to price aggressively.'' Joe R. Davis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "While our overall performance continues to be impacted by the general economic slowdown and soft commercial print demand, we are taking the necessary steps within our operating companies to strengthen our core business and to position us for future growth. We continue to make strong strides in our e-commerce products and services marketed through CGXmedia, particularly the COIN (Custom Ordering Interactive Network) and OPAL (Online Private Asset Library) products. These products not only represent an additional revenue stream, but they also serve to drive print sales throughout our nationwide network of printing companies.'' Mr. Davis concluded, "With the benefit of increased visibility into the 2001 calendar year and a better sense of how our companies may perform in a slower market environment, we anticipate that the actions we have taken to reduce costs and drive revenue and market share gains will improve the Company's growth and profitability for its shareholders. Accordingly, given the current economic environment, we believe that our financial results for the next few quarters will improve gradually over recent performance.''
