Robert G. Burton, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated:
"Cenveo delivered another outstanding performance during the third quarter.  These strong results were driven by a combination of solid performance across our business units, a strong focus on costs, and the benefits from the integration efforts for our recent acquisitions.  These efforts combined with a strengthened focus on productivity and efficiency efforts allowed us to increase our non-GAAP operating margin to 9.2% during the quarter, well ahead of last year's 7.7%, and deliver almost $71 million in adjusted EBITDA.  I am very pleased with our strong generation of cash from continuing operations of over $21.3 million during the quarter and $60.0 million during the first nine months, representing a $76.5 million year to date improvement compared to 2006.  I believe that these results demonstrate the Company's strategy is working by delivering strong financial performance, strong cash flow and giving Cenveo the ability to invest in growth opportunities to increase shareholder value."
Robert G. Burton, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer continued:
"We have worked hard in the third quarter integrating our two most recent acquisitions and focusing on improving our core operations.  The integration of the acquisitions has allowed us to take swift and aggressive actions designed to drive incremental improvements to our platform by focusing on consolidating overlapping facilities, and eliminating duplicate headcount and systems.  We have streamlined our operations and are now offering our customers the benefits of our expanded business platform.  We are doing this while improving our cost structure, expanding our sales initiatives, increasing productivity and reducing waste.  I am very pleased with the progress of the integration efforts to date for the four acquisitions we completed this year, and I am convinced that we are well positioned for the future."
Mr. Burton concluded: "As we enter the fourth quarter and look to finish 2007 on a positive note, I can assure you that we are extremely focused on delivering our fourth quarter and full year financial commitments.  We will continue to focus on delivering strong free cash flow and using these funds to service our debt and invest in the future growth of our business through capital expenditures and strategic acquisitions.  I am also pleased with the sales momentum that we are seeing in the marketplace.  We believe we are becoming the printer of choice in the markets we serve.  I am very pleased with our third quarter results, the fourth quarter looks promising, and I will communicate our revised guidance on the call tomorrow."
