HOUSTON, Texas, - Consolidated Graphics, Inc. today announced financial results for its second quarter ended September 30, 2012.

Revenue for the September quarter was $263.6 million, a $3.8 million or 1.4% decline, compared to the prior year.  The revenue decline was caused by lower same-store sales, partially offset by an increase in election-related revenue. Adjusted Operating Income for the September 2012 quarter was $14.7 million or 5.6% of revenue, compared to $15.2 million or 5.7% of revenue last year. Adjusted Net Income was $8.3 million or $.84 per diluted share for the quarter, compared to Adjusted Net Income of $8.4 million or $.77 per diluted share for the prior year quarter. (As a result of our share repurchase program, weighted average diluted shares outstanding in the September 2012 quarter declined 9.1% relative to the September 2011 quarter.) Adjusted EBITDA was $33.1 million for the September 2012 quarter, compared to $32.6 million for the same quarter of the prior year.

Operating income during the September 2012 quarter was $12.1 million and included other charges of $2.3 million primarily related to relocating certain production facilities and related asset impairments. Operating income for the prior year quarter was $13.9 million and included $.6 million in other charges due to withdrawing from certain multi-employer pension plans. Net income for the September 2012 quarter was $6.7 million or $.68 diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $7.5 million or $.69 diluted earnings per share last year.

Joe R. Davis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Consolidated Graphics, commented, "While we experienced increased demand from many of our clients, the decline in sales this quarter was primarily caused by lower demand from a handful of our large customers. We expect much of this business to return in the future. Election printing grew this quarter, compared to last year, and we are confident that election printing will grow again in the December quarter.  We continue to invest in our industry leading capabilities and continue to see a high level of interest in these capabilities. Due to these investments, we expect to generate profitable revenue growth as the economy improves."
