FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CONSOLIDATED GRAPHICS ANNOUNCES LETTER OF INTENT AND
UPDATES STATUS OF PENDING ACQUISITIONS
Houston, Texas - February 19, 1999 - Consolidated Graphics today announced
the signing of a letter of intent to acquire a leading, high-quality commercial
printing company located in a major Midwestern market. Pursuant to an agreement
between the parties, the name of the company is being withheld at this time.
Joe R. Davis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Consolidated
Graphics, said, "This acquisition will add another successful, highly reputable
sheet-fed printing company to our group. It also continues our disciplined
strategy of acquiring strong, well-managed commercial printing companies in
markets throughout the U.S. In the past 11 months alone, we have completed 15
acquisitions representing over $200 million in annual revenue. Furthermore, we
are in negotiations with more companies today than at any other time in our
history."
The Company also discussed the status of its other pending acquisitions. On
July 31, 1998, the Company announced the signing of letters of intent to acquire
four commercial printing companies, three of which have been completed: Printing
Corporation of America, McKay Press and GraphTec, Inc. The fourth letter of
intent for Royle Communications, however, has expired and all related
negotiations have been terminated.
An additional six companies remain under binding agreement or letters of
intent: Automated Graphics, The Graphics Group, Maxwell Printing, Mercury
Printing, Wentworth Printing and CMI.
Mr. Davis commented, "We are finalizing our due diligence on those
companies under letter of intent and look forward to their joining
Consolidated Graphics."
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 53 companies with annualized
revenues in excess of $590 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.
