FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CONSOLIDATED GRAPHICS REPORTS RECORD RESULTS FOR
FISCAL 1997 FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR
FOURTH QUARTER NET INCOME UP 171% ON 79% SALES GROWTH,
DRIVEN BY ACQUISITIONS, STRENGTHENED OPERATIONS
HOUSTON, TEXAS -- April 30, 1997 -- Consolidated Graphics, Inc. (NYSE/CGX),
today announced record results for the fourth quarter and year ended March 31,
1997.
Sales in the fourth quarter rose 79% to $43.2 million, from $24.1 million
in 1996. Fourth quarter operating income increased 181%, to $5.9 million and net
income grew 171% to $3.2 million. On a per share basis, Consolidated Graphics
earned $.25 per share in the 1997 quarter, compared to $.10 per share a year
ago. All per share figures reflect the Company's 2-for-1 stock split distributed
on January 10, 1997.
For all of 1997, Consolidated Graphics reported sales of $144.1 million, an
increase of 69% over 1996. Operating income was $18.3 million in 1997, up 116%
from the $8.5 million, before restructuring charge, reported for fiscal 1996.
Net income was $10.1 million, or $.81 per share, versus $5.0 million before
restructuring charge, or $.45 per share reported a year ago.
The strong sales growth reported in 1997 resulted from the Company's
acquisition program, in which ten companies were acquired over the past 15
months, coupled with consistently strong internal growth rates. The Company's
focus on utilizing its financial and operating strengths to enhance the
performance of its printing companies improved operating margins and
profitability. Operating income margin for 1997 was 12.7%, versus 10.0% in 1996.
Fourth quarter operating income margin was 13.5% in 1997 compared to 8.6% a year
ago.
Joe R. Davis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Consolidated
Graphics, commented, "In 1997 Consolidated Graphics firmly established itself
as an industry leader in both revenue growth and profitability. Our 19 operating
companies -- including Tucker Printers, which was acquired on April 1,
1997 -- are the premier printers in the markets they serve. We are building on
their strong market positions through our commitment to technology, our
management development program and our access to capital."
The Company also announced that the letter of intent with respect to its
proposed acquisition of Litho Industries, Inc. has been terminated by mutual
agreement between the parties.
Commenting on the Company's acquisition program, Mr. Davis said, "With a
full pipeline of acquisition opportunities available, we continue to focus our
acquisition program on companies that meet our acquisition criteria and we are
excited about the prospects for fiscal 1998. In the coming months, we expect to
realize additional benefits from our most recent acquisitions and add more high
quality printers to an already strong group of operating companies. The
annualized run-rate revenues of our 19 companies now exceed $175 million, an
increase of $75 million for the year."
