FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CONSOLIDATED GRAPHICS TO ACQUIRE STORTERCHILDS
PRINTING COMPANY IN GAINESVILLE, FLORIDA
HOUSTON, TEXAS - December 8, 1997 -- Consolidated Graphics, Inc. (NYSE:CGX)
today announced the signing of a letter of intent to acquire StorterChilds
Printing Company, Inc. of Gainesville, Florida in a stock-for-stock transaction.
With the acquisition of StorterChilds, Consolidated Graphics makes its entry
into the attractive Florida printing market. StorterChilds, founded almost 50
years ago, is an award-winning printing company and one of the leading
commercial printers in Central Florida.
StorterChilds Printing Company's management team of John Childs and Jim
Storter will continue to lead the company after the transaction is completed.
Commenting on the announcement, Childs said, "Our company has been successful
because we consistently provide our customers superior service and the highest
quality color products. With Consolidated Graphics, we join a premier group of
companies that share our dedication to customer service and an organization with
the resources to help us grow and prosper in the future. This is a great
opportunity for our employees and our company to join the industry leader."
Joe R. Davis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Consolidated
Graphics, stated, "The addition of StorterChilds is a very positive first step
into an important U.S. printing market and we look forward to working with John
Childs, Jim Storter, and their dedicated employees on ways to further strengthen
their market position in Central Florida."
Consolidated Graphics is the fastest growing printing company in the United
States. A consolidator in a highly fragmented industry, the Company adds value
to its acquisitions through managerial and operational expertise, financial
strength and economies of scale. Upon completion of this acquisition
Consolidated Graphics will have 27 companies with annualized revenues in excess
of $260 million.
This press release contains forward-looking statements which involve known
and unknown risks, uncertainties or other factors that could cause actual
results to materially differ from the results, performance or other expectations
implied by these forward looking statements. Consolidated Graphics' expectations
regarding run-rate revenues assume, among other things, completion of pending
acquisitions that are subject to the execution of definitive agreements, general
economic conditions, continued demand for its product, the availability of raw
materials at affordable prices, retention of its key management and operating
personnel, as well as other factors detailed in Consolidated Graphics' filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
