Quarterly operating earnings before restructuring and impairment
rise over the prior year for the seventh consecutive quarter; net
debt drops below 10 percent of capital DAYTON, Ohio, July 27
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Standard Register (NYSE:SR) today
reported its financial results for the second quarter ended July 2,
2006. Results of Operations The results for the quarter reflected
the impact of several major strategic elements that are reshaping
the Company. - The Print-on-Demand (POD) Services segment reported
a jump in operating margin, fueled by a 9.4 percent revenue
increase and improved production costs. - Gross margins in the
Document and Label Solutions (DLS) segment remained steady despite
the competitive pricing climate and reduced unit sales that pushed
the quarter's revenue 4.0 percent lower, as the Company continued
its program of cost reductions and productivity improvements. - All
other segments, including Commercial Print Services and Document
Systems, that emphasize software and service offerings showed 6.3
percent revenue growth overall. - The Digital Solutions segment,
which offers cost effective data capture solutions based on
innovative digital writing technology, continued to report positive
new developments and a growing pipeline of opportunities. Revenue
in this emerging market has been modest thus far, however, and this
segment reported an operating loss of $1.4 million in the quarter.
- As previously reported, the Company sold its unprofitable
InSystems business unit during the second quarter. This business
did not fit with the Company's strategy. Proceeds were $8.5 million
plus the return of certain cash balances. The Company reported a
loss on the sale of $9.2 million after tax. InSystems results and
its sale are reported as discontinued operations. - The Company
continued to maintain a strong balance sheet with net debt just 9.3
percent of total capital. Total revenue for the quarter was $222.8
million, up slightly from last year's $222.5 million, reflecting
the lower DLS revenue offset by the growth in POD Services and
other segments. Revenue for the first half was $451.5 million
versus $451.9 million in the prior year. The gross margin improved
by 1.7 and 1.3 percentage points in relation to revenue for the
quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively. The Company has
made good progress in recovering recent paper cost increases and
benefited from lower production costs and higher POD Services
volume. Operating expenses were higher in both the quarter and
year-to-date periods, impacted by higher restructuring, asset
impairment, and the amortization of past pension losses. The table
below isolates these effects on the Company's earnings. [$

Current year earnings were helped by an accrual adjustment for
unclaimed funds, but were penalized by unusually high health care
claims; the net positive effect on earnings from these two items
was approximately $0.7 million. Including the loss on the sale of
InSystems, the Company reported a second quarter net loss of $8.5
million or $0.29 per share, compared to a loss of $2.3 million and
$0.08 per share last year. For the first six months, the net loss
was $7.0 million or $0.24 per share versus a breakeven result for
the comparable period of 2005. Net debt was $16.3 million at the
end of June, down $15.6 million during the quarter. Setting aside
$8.5 million from the sale of InSystems, cash flow for the quarter
was a positive $7.1 million -- after satisfying the operating needs
plus capital spending of $4.5 million, pension funding of $6.0
million and dividends of $6.7 million. Outlook "We continue to
expect modest revenue growth for the whole of 2006 with the fourth
quarter seasonally stronger," said Dennis Rediker, Standard
Register's president and chief executive officer. "Despite a very
price competitive market for certain of our traditional print
products, we believe that our strategic initiatives are beginning
to show results that will lead to meaningful growth in our earnings
over the next several years," added Rediker. Dividend Standard
Register's board of directors today declared a quarterly dividend
of $ 0.23 per share to be paid on Sept. 8, 2006, to shareholders of
record as of Aug. 25, 2006. Presentation of Information in This
Press Release This press release presents information that excludes
restructuring, impairment charges, and amortization of past pension
losses. These financial measures are considered non-GAAP.
Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a
company's performance, financial position, or cash flows where
amounts are either excluded or included not in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). This information
is intended to enhance an overall understanding of the financial
performance due to the non-operational nature of these items and
the significant change from period to period. This presentation is
consistent with the manner in which the Board of Directors
internally evaluates performance. The presentation of non-GAAP
information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a
substitute for results prepared in accordance with principles
generally accepted in the United States. Conference Call Standard
Register president and chief executive officer Dennis L. Rediker
and chief financial officer Craig Brown will host a conference call
at 10 a.m. EDT on July 28, 2006, to review the second quarter
