FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CONSOLIDATED GRAPHICS TO ACQUIRE GRAPHIC COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
OF SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA
HOUSTON, TEXAS - March 9, 1998 -- Consolidated Graphics, Inc.
(NYSE:CGX) today announced the signing of a letter of intent to acquire Graphic
Communications, Inc. of San Diego, California, strengthening its position in
this important printing market. Graphic Communications was founded in 1980, and,
in 1996, became the second independent commercial printing company in the U.S.
and the first in the western half of the country to be ISO 9002 certified. Terms
of the transaction were not disclosed.
Joe R. Davis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Consolidated
Graphics, said, "Through its ISO certification and location in San Diego,
Graphic Communications has positioned itself for rapid growth serving major
companies with interests in the Pacific Rim and Mexico. We look forward to
helping them further capitalize on these key market advantages."
John Rush, President of Graphic Communications, will remain with the
company upon completion of the transaction. Commenting on his decision to join
Consolidated Graphics, Rush said, "Our commitment to creating a quality-driven
operation is now being rewarded. In order to take our business to the next
level, we needed a strong partner with a similar operating philosophy. With
Consolidated Graphics, we are joining a strong, profitable company that
believes, as we do, that quality products and superior customer service are the
keys to success."
Consolidated Graphics, Inc. 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 pending
acquisitions, Consolidated Graphics will have 34 companies with annualized
revenues in excess of $350 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, general economic conditions, continued demand for its product, the
availability of raw materials, retention of its key management and operating
personnel, as well as other factors detailed in Consolidated Graphics' filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
