FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Donnelley Enterprise Solutions Incorporated Announces a one-time charge
Chicago, September 18, 1997 -- Donnelley Enterprise Solutions Incorporated
(DESI) (Nasdaq: DEZI) announced today it plans to take a one-time charge in the
company's integration division which it expects will result in the company
reporting a loss for the quarter. The charge results primarily from an increase
in the allowance for doubtful accounts, the reduction in scope of certain
integration projects since the end of the second quarter, changes in the
estimated percentage of completion of certain projects and an increase in the
estimated number of hours required to complete certain other projects. The
company's outsourcing businesses, both systems management and business services,
are not impacted by this charge.
The Company expects to release its third quarter 1997 operating results on
or about October 28, 1997.
