Importantly, our operations continue to capitalize on our many strategic advantages to further expand our industry-leading position."

It enables execution of our acquisition strategy, as reflected by the recently completed acquisitions of two companies with sterling national reputations in the printing industry -- Annan and Bird Lithographers and The Hennegan Company. It also enables the execution of our currently authorized share repurchase program, pursuant to which we acquired an additional 41,344 shares for $2.6 million in the December quarter."
