STAMFORD, Conn., Feb. 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Cenveo, Inc. (NYSE: CVO) today announced results for the three months and full year ended December 28, 2013.

The Company generated net sales of $509.9 million for the three months ended December 28, 2013, compared to $437.7 million for the same period last year, an increase of 16.5%. The Company generated net sales of $1.8 billion for the year ended December 28, 2013, compared to $1.7 billion for the prior year. The increase in net sales was primarily due to the acquisition of certain assets of National Envelope in the third quarter, as National Envelope was not included in our 2012 results, as well as organic growth within our envelope and label and packaging segments, partially offset by a decline in sales in our print operations as a result of lower demand and pricing pressures.

Operating loss was $15.7 million for the three months ended December 28, 2013, compared to operating income of $31.7 million for the same period last year. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to a $33.4 million impairment charge related to the retirement of certain trade names, lower sales from our print operations, and higher input costs within several of our segments. Non-GAAP operating income was $31.6 million for the three months ended December 28, 2013, compared to $39.3 million for the same period last year. For the year ended December 28, 2013, operating income was $29.4 million, compared to $101.2 million for the prior year. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to a $33.4 million impairment charge related to the retirement of certain trade names, lower sales from our print operations and acquisition-related costs due to the acquisition of certain assets of National Envelope. These decreases were offset in part by higher gross margins in our envelope operations from volume increases. For the year ended December 28, 2013, non-GAAP operating income was $101.1 million, compared to $140.8 million for the prior year. Non-GAAP operating income excludes integration, acquisition and other charges, stock-based compensation provision, restructuring and other charges and impairment of intangible assets. A reconciliation of operating (loss) income to non-GAAP operating income is presented in the attached tables.

For the three months ended December 28, 2013, the Company had a loss from continuing operations of $59.5 million, or $0.90 per share, compared to a loss of $57.4 million, or $0.90 per share for the same period last year. Non-GAAP income from continuing operations was $9.3 million, or $0.11 per share, for the three months ended December 28, 2013, as compared to $11.8 million, or $0.14 per share, for the same period last year. For the year ended December 28, 2013, the Company had a loss from continuing operations of $85.5 million, or $1.32 per share, compared to $80.5 million, or $1.27 per share for the same period last year. For the year ended December 28, 2013, non-GAAP loss from continuing operations was $6.2 million, or $0.10 per share, as compared to non-GAAP income of $29.1 million, or $0.37 per share, for the same period last year. Non-GAAP (loss) income from continuing operations excludes integration, acquisition and other related charges, stock-based compensation provision, restructuring and other charges, impairment of intangible assets, gain on bargain purchase, loss on early extinguishment of debt, net, an adjustment to income taxes to reflect an estimated cash tax rate, and an adjustment for interest expense related to the 7% convertible notes ("7% Notes"), net of taxes. A reconciliation of loss from continuing operations to non-GAAP income (loss) from continuing operations is presented in the attached tables.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended December 28, 2013 was $52.1 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $55.3 million for the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 28, 2013, was $167.2 million, compared to $202.7 million, for the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, integration, acquisition and other related charges, stock-based compensation provision, restructuring and other charges, impairment of intangible assets, gain on bargain purchase, loss (gain) on early extinguishment of debt, net and income from discontinued operations, net of taxes. A reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA is presented in the attached tables.

Robert G. Burton, Sr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated:
"We are very pleased with our fourth quarter performance and the continuation of the positive operational trends we experienced for the past couple of quarters. In the fourth quarter, we delivered 3.5% organic revenue growth from both our envelope and label and packaging segments. Direct mail continued to perform well as we saw strong growth in credit card mailings during the quarter. Recent leadership changes and selected capital investments are showing results in our print and label and packaging operations. The integration of National Envelope continues to progress well and remains on track with our expectations, as many cost actions have been implemented to date and we are relatively complete with the anticipated working capital build associated with the transaction."

Mr. Burton concluded:
"I am very excited about our prospects for 2014 given the momentum in our business and the strength of our current team. We spent the majority of last year re-focusing and building our operations for the future and in 2014 we expect to begin to see the positive results of our efforts. Between the continued investment in capital and technology across our platform, the acquisition of certain assets of National Envelope and related investment of working capital, we have a strong foundation for success in 2014 and beyond."

Conference Call:
Cenveo will host a conference call tomorrow, Thursday, February 27, 2014 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time.  The conference call will be available via webcast, which can be accessed via the Internet at www.cenveo.com.

In addition to results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP"), we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP income (loss) from continuing operations, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating income margin, and adjusted free cash flow. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, integration, acquisition and other charges, stock-based compensation provision, impairment of intangible assets, restructuring and other charges, gain on bargain purchase, loss on early extinguishment of debt, net and income from discontinued operations, net of taxes. Non-GAAP operating income is defined as operating (loss) income excluding integration, acquisition and other charges, stock-based compensation provision, impairment of intangible assets, and restructuring and other charges. Non-GAAP operating income margin is calculated by dividing non-GAAP operating income into net sales. Non-GAAP income (loss) from continuing operations excludes integration, acquisition and other charges, stock-based compensation provision, impairment of intangible assets, restructuring and other charges, gain on bargain purchase, loss on early extinguishment of debt, net, and adjustment to income taxes to reflect an estimated cash tax rate and an adjustment for interest expense related to the 7% Notes. Adjusted free cash flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less cash interest, cash taxes, and capital expenditures, net of proceeds from plant, property and equipment. These are non-GAAP financial measures, as defined herein, and should be read in conjunction with GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of loss from continuing operations to non-GAAP income (loss) from continuing operations and operating (loss) income to non-GAAP operating income is presented in the attached tables. These non-GAAP financial measures are not presented as an alternative to cash flows from continuing operations, as a measure of our liquidity or as an alternative to reported net loss as an indicator of our operating performance. The non-GAAP financial measures as used herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by competitors.

We believe the use of Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP income (loss) from continuing operations, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating income margin and adjusted free cash flow along with GAAP financial measures enhances the understanding of our operating results and may be useful to investors in comparing our operating performance with that of our competitors and estimating our enterprise value. Adjusted EBITDA is also a useful tool in evaluating the core operating results of the Company given the significant variation that can result from, for example, the timing of capital expenditures, the amount of intangible assets recorded or the differences in assets' lives. We also use Adjusted EBITDA internally to evaluate the operating performance of our segments, to allocate resources and capital to such segments, to measure performance for incentive compensation programs, and to evaluate future growth opportunities. The non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release are reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in the tables included herein.
