Houston - Consolidated Graphics, Inc. today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.

Revenue grew 3.4% to $260.1 million for the September quarter, compared to the prior year. The increase was due to improved election-related sales and an acquisition, partially offset by a slight decline in same-store sales. Adjusted Operating Income for the September 2010 quarter improved to $17.0 million (6.5% of revenue), a 59% increase, compared to $10.6 million (4.2% of revenue) for the same quarter last year. Adjusted Net Income for the September 2010 quarter was $9.0 million, or $.77 Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, compared to Adjusted Net Income of $4.6 million, or $.40 Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share for the prior year.

Operating income was $15.4 million in the September 2010 quarter, compared to operating income of $6.6 million in the prior year quarter, an improvement of $8.8 million or 134%. Net income for the September 2010 quarter was $8.1 million, or $.69 diluted earnings per share, compared to $2.1 million or $.18 diluted earnings per share for the prior year quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA was $33.8 million for the September 2010 quarter, compared to $28.7 million for the same quarter in the prior year, an increase of 18%.

Joe R. Davis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Consolidated Graphics, commented, "We posted strong Adjusted Operating Margin and Adjusted Net Income this quarter, driven by the combination of sales improvement and effective cost management. Our best-in-class technology, printing and fulfillment solutions enable us to provide value to customers and grow our business. This, combined with the opportunity to grow through acquisition and our strong balance sheet, places Consolidated Graphics in an attractive competitive position. We remain very optimistic in our near-term and long-term prospects."

Mr. Davis added, "Based on current market conditions, we expect December quarter's revenue to be in the range of $290 - $305, million which assumes year-over-year same store sales growth of up to 5%, higher election-related business and incremental revenue from a recent acquisition. This should enable us to again achieve Adjusted Net Income improvement in the December 2010 quarter compared to the prior year."
