NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(In thousands, except share information and where noted)
|
|
Note 1. |
Basis of Presentation |
The financial information as of March 31, 2005 and for the
three month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 has been
prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring
adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the
consolidated financial position, results of operations and of
cash flows for each period presented have been made on a
consistent basis. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have
been condensed or omitted. These financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the Companys annual report on
Form 10-K and consolidated financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 2004. The Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements and Notes to the Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements have been presented to reflect the
reclassification of the document outsourcing business as a
discontinued operation in the statements of operations and cash
flows for the three months ended March 31, 2004, as
described more fully in the Companys annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.
Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2005
may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for
the full year.
|
|
Note 2. |
Reclassifications |
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to
the 2005 presentation.
|
|
Note 3. |
Restatement of 2004 Quarterly Financial Results |
As previously disclosed in the Companys annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, the
Companys results for the three months ended March 31,
2004 have been restated to reflect the tax effect of corrections
to intercompany adjustments related to foreign entities within
the Globalization segment. While this restatement had no impact
on results of operations for the full year in 2004, the impact
on the quarter ended March 31, 2004 was an increase to
income tax expense of $296 and a decrease in net income of

Note 4. |
Discontinued Operations |
On November 9, 2004 the Company sold its document
outsourcing business, as described more fully in Note 3 to
the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2004. The Company has recorded various
liabilities related to the sale of the discontinued business in
accrued expenses and other obligations in the accompanying
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amounts included in
accrued expenses and other obligations is $4,084 and $7,654 as
of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.
These amounts primarily relate to accrued employee compensation
and sales tax liabilities associated with the discontinued
business. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and
notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have
been presented to reflect the reclassification of the document
outsourcing business as a discontinued operation.
The Companys discontinued Immersant operations had net
liabilities (including accrued restructuring and discontinuance
costs) of $798 at March 31, 2005 and $803 December 31,
2004, respectively, which are included in accrued expenses and
other obligations in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheets. These accruals consist primarily of the
estimated remaining costs associated with leased facilities
which were shut down. The payments on this accrual, net of
expected payments from subleases, are expected to be made over
the terms of the respective leases, the last of which expires in
May 2008.

|
Note 5. |
Sale of Marketable Securities |
During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company purchased
approximately $20.3 million of auction rate securities, as
described more fully in Note 6 to the Companys annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2004. During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the Company
sold all of its auction rate securities.

Stock Repurchase Plans |
During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company entered into an
Overnight Share Repurchase program with Bank of America and
repurchased 2,530,000 shares for approximately
$40.2 million. In connection with the program, Bank of
America had been purchasing shares in the market. The program
was completed on April 29, 2005. The Company will receive a
price adjustment of approximately $2.1 million in the form
of additional shares. The price adjustment represents the
difference in the original share purchase price of $15.75 and
the average volume weighted adjusted share price of $15.00 for
the actual purchases made, plus interest. Bank of America is
expected to purchase the additional shares during May 2005.
During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Companys Board of
Directors authorized an open market stock repurchase program to
repurchase up to $35 million of the Companys common
stock. Over a period of up to two years, management is
authorized to purchase shares from time to time at prevailing
prices as permitted by securities laws and other legal
requirements, and subject to market conditions and other
factors. The program may be discontinued at any time. No trading
activity has occurred in the public market related to this
program as of May 10, 2005.

Note 7. |
Stock-Based Compensation |
The Company has several stock-based employee compensation plans,
which are described more fully in Note 17 to the
Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2004. The Company accounts for those
plans using the intrinsic method prescribed by APB Opinion
No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, and related Interpretations. No stock-based
employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all
options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to
the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of
grant. The following tables illustrate the effect on income from
continuing operations, earnings per share from continuing
operations, income from discontinued operations, earnings per
share from discontinued operations, net income, and earnings per
share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation. In December 2004, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS 123 (revised
2004), Share-Based Payment
(SFAS 123(R)) which replaces SFAS 123 and
supersedes APB Opinion No. 25. Refer to Note 8 to the
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information.

Note 8. |
Effect of Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In April 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47
(FIN 47), Accounting for Conditional
Asset Retirement Obligations An Interpretation of
FASB Statement No. 143. FIN 47 clarifies the
terms of FASB Statement No. 143 and requires an entity to
recognize a liability for a conditional asset retirement
obligation if the entity has sufficient information to
reasonably estimate its fair value. FIN 47 is effective no
later than the end of fiscal years ending after
December 15, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact of this standard on its financial statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123(R), which
replaces SFAS 123 and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25.
Among other items, SFAS 123(R) eliminates the use of APB
Opinion No. 25 and the intrinsic method of accounting, and
requires all share-based payments, including grants of employee
stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements
based on their fair values. In April 2005, the Securities and
Exchange Commission adopted a new rule deferring the effective
date of SFAS 123(R) for public
9
BOWNE & CO., INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
companies until the first interim or annual reporting period of
the first fiscal year that begins after June 15, 2005. In
accordance with the new rule, the Company expects to adopt
SFAS 123(R) in the first quarter of 2006 and will recognize
compensation expense for all share-based payments and employee
stock options based on the grant-date fair value of those
awards. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the
statement on its financial statements. As the Company currently
accounts for share-based payments using the intrinsic value
method as allowed by APB Opinion No. 25, the adoption of the
fair value method under SFAS 123(R) will have an impact on its
results of operations. However, the extent of the impact cannot
be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of
share-based payments granted in the future. Had the Company
adopted SFAS 123(R) in prior periods, the impact of that
standard would have approximated the impact of SFAS 123 as
described in Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 109-2
(FSP FAS 109-2), Accounting and
Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation
Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.
The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 introduces a special
one-time dividends received deduction on the repatriation of
certain foreign earnings to a U.S. taxpayer (repatriation
provision), provided certain criteria are met. FSP
FAS 109-2 gives a company additional time to evaluate the
effects of the legislation on any plan for reinvestment or
repatriation of foreign earnings for purposes of applying
SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The
deduction is subject to a number of limitations, and uncertainty
remains as to how to interpret numerous provisions in the Act.
As such, the Company is not in a position to decide on whether,
and to what extent, it might repatriate foreign earnings that
have not yet been remitted to the U.S. based on its
analysis to date. The Company therefore cannot reasonably
estimate the income tax effect of such repatriation. The Company
expects to be in a position to finalize its assessment by
December 31, 2005.
|
|
Note 9. |
Earnings Per Share |
Shares used in the calculation of basic earnings per share are
based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding, and
for diluted earnings per share after adjustment for the assumed
exercise of all potentially dilutive stock options. Basic and
diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by
the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during each
period. The weighted-average diluted shares outstanding for the
three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 excludes the
dilutive effect of approximately 1,112,497 and 553,744 options,
respectively, since such options have an exercise price in
excess of the average market value of the Companys common
stock during the respective period. The weighted-average diluted
shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31,
2005 and 2004 also excludes the effect of 4,058,445 shares that
could be issued upon the conversion of the Companys
convertible subordinated debentures under certain circumstances,
since the effect would be anti-dilutive to the earnings per
share calculation for both periods.
The following table sets forth the basic and diluted average
share amounts:

Note 11. |
Accrued Restructuring and Integration Charges |
The Company continually reviews its business, manages costs, and
aligns its resources with market demand, especially in light of
the volatility of the capital markets and the resulting
variability in transactional financial printing activity. As a
result, the Company took several steps over the last several
years to reduce fixed costs, eliminate redundancies, and better
position the Company to respond to market pressures or
unfavorable economic conditions. As a result of these steps, the
Company incurred restructuring charges for severance and
personnel-related costs related to headcount reductions, and
costs associated with closing down and consolidating facilities.
In addition, in connection with the Companys acquisition
of Mendez S.A. in August 2001 and Berlitz GlobalNet
(GlobalNet) in September 2002, the Company incurred
certain costs to integrate these operations into the existing
globalization operations, including costs to shut down certain
facilities and terminate certain employees.
During 2004 the Company initiated further cost reductions aimed
at increasing operational efficiencies. These restructuring
charges included additional workforce reductions in all business
segments, the consolidation of the Companys fulfillment
operations with the digital print facility within the financial
print segment, further consolidation of the globalization
segments operations in Italy, as well as adjustments
related to changes in assumptions in some previous office
closings within the financial print and globalization segments.
These actions resulted in restructuring, integration and asset
impairment charges totaling $14,644 for the year ended
December 31, 2004.
During the first quarter of 2005, the Company continued to
implement further cost reductions. These restructuring charges
included (i) the reduction of headcount in certain
corporate management and administrative functions that will not
be replaced, (ii) additional management and staff
reductions within the globalization segment as part of the
actions that were initiated in the fourth quarter of 2004, and
(iii) revisions to estimates of costs associated with
leased facilities which were exited in prior periods. These
actions resulted in restructuring, integration and asset
impairment charges totaling $2,041 for the three months ended
March 31, 2005.
The following information summarizes the costs incurred during
the first quarter of 2005:

The majority of the remaining accrued severance and
personnel-related costs are expected to be paid by the end of
2005 and the Company expects to incur total restructuring and
integration charges in the full year 2005 of approximately $3 to
$8 million.
The Company accrued $5,100 of costs associated with the
acquisition of Mendez operations during the year ended
December 31, 2001, which were accounted for as part of the
cost of the acquisition. These costs included costs to shut down
certain Mendez facilities and terminate certain Mendez
employees. The balance remaining on this accrual at
December 31, 2004 was $899 and consisted primarily of
employee severance which was paid during the three months ended
March 31, 2005.
In connection with the Companys acquisition of GlobalNet
in September 2002, the Company accrued costs of $2,497
associated with the integration of GlobalNets operations,
which were accounted for as part of the cost of the acquisition.
These costs included estimated severance costs and lease
termination costs associated with eliminating GlobalNet
facilities and terminating certain GlobalNet employees. During
2003, the Company finalized its estimate of these costs by
adjustments in the amount of $1,000. These adjustments increased
goodwill related to the acquisition of GlobalNet. The balance
remaining on this accrual at March 31, 2005 and
December 31, 2004 was $292 and $331, respectively,
consisting primarily of the termination costs related to the
closed facilities. The payments on these balances are expected
to be made over the remaining terms of the respective leases
through June 30, 2006.
The components of debt at March 31, 2005 and

2005. The terms of the revolving credit agreement provide
certain limitations on additional indebtedness, sale and
leaseback transactions, asset sales and certain other

compliance with all loan covenants as of March 31, 2005,
and based upon its current projections, the Company believes it
will be in compliance with the quarterly loan covenants for the
remainder of its term. The Company is in the process of renewing
the revolving credit facility, which expires in July 2005, and
expects completion in May 2005. The Company is not subject to
any financial covenants under the debentures.

Note 13. |
Postretirement Benefits |
The Company sponsors a defined benefit pension plan which covers
certain United States employees not covered by union agreements.
Benefits are based upon salary and years of service. The
Companys policy is to contribute an amount necessary to
meet the ERISA minimum funding requirements. This plan was
closed to new participants effective January 1, 2003. In
addition, effective January 1, 2003, the benefits of
current participants in the plan are computed at a reduced
accrual rate for credited service after January 1, 2003,
except for certain employees who will continue to accrue
benefits under the existing formula if they satisfied certain
age and years of service requirements. The Company also has an
unfunded supplemental executive retirement plan (SERP) for
certain executive management employees. The defined benefit
pension plan and the SERP are described more fully in
Note 13 to the Companys annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.
Employees covered by union agreements are included in separate
multi-employer pension plans to which the Company makes
contributions. Plan benefit and net asset data for these
multi-employer pension plans are not available. Also, certain
non-union international employees are covered by other
retirement plans.
The components of the net periodic benefit cost are as follows:

The company is not required to make any contributions to its
pension plan in 2005.
Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31,
2005 was $3,343 on pre-tax income from continuing operations of
$7,261, compared to income tax expense for the same period in
2004 of $2,986 on pre-tax income from continuing operations of
$4,501. As discussed in Note 3 of the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements, income tax expense for the
three months ended March 31, 2004 has been restated to
reflect the tax effects of corrections to intercompany
adjustments related to foreign entities within the
13
BOWNE & CO., INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Globalization segment. The effective overall income tax rate was
impacted by the lower pre-tax income in 2004 compared to the
higher pre-tax income in 2005 and the income mix between U.S.
and foreign jurisdictions. The size of the non-deductible
expenses are relatively unchanged from year to year, and the
rate applied to U.S. taxable income was approximately 38%
for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004.
In October 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the
Act) was enacted. The Act creates a temporary incentive for
U.S. corporations to repatriate accumulated income earned
abroad by providing an 85% dividends received deduction for
certain dividends from controlled foreign corporations. The
deduction is subject to a number of limitations, and uncertainty
remains as how to interpret numerous provisions in the Act. As
such, the Company is not in a position to decide on whether, and
to what extent, it might repatriate foreign earnings that have
not yet been remitted to the U.S. based on its analysis to
date. The Company therefore cannot reasonably estimate the
income tax effect of such repatriation. The Company expects to
be in a position to finalize its assessment by December 31,
2005.

Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward Looking Statements
The Company desires to take advantage of the safe
harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995 (the 1995 Act). The 1995 Act
provides a safe harbor for forward-looking
statements to encourage companies to provide information without
fear of litigation so long as those statements are identified as
forward-looking and are accompanied by meaningful cautionary
statements identifying important factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those projected.
This report includes and incorporates by reference
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the 1995 Act.
These statements are included throughout this report, and in the
documents incorporated by reference in this report, and relate
to, among other things, projections of revenues, earnings,
earnings per share, cash flows, capital expenditures, working
capital or other financial items, output, expectations regarding
acquisitions, discussions of estimated future revenue
enhancements, potential dispositions and cost savings. These
statements also relate to the Companys business strategy,
goals and expectations concerning the Companys market
position, future operations, margins, profitability, liquidity
and capital resources. The words anticipate,
believe, could, estimate,
expect, intend, may,
plan, predict, project,
will and similar terms and phrases identify
forward-looking statements in this report and in the documents
incorporated by reference in this report.
Although the Company believes the assumptions upon which these
forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of
these assumptions could prove to be inaccurate and the
forward-looking statements based on these assumptions could be
incorrect. The Companys operations involve risks and
uncertainties, many of which are outside the Companys
control, and any one of which, or a combination of which, could
materially affect the Companys results of operations and
whether the forward-looking statements ultimately prove to be
correct.
Actual results and trends in the future may differ materially
from those suggested or implied by the forward-looking
statements depending on a variety of factors including, but not
limited to:
|
|
|
|
|
general economic or capital market conditions affecting the
demand for transactional financial printing or the
Companys other services; |
|
|
|
competition based on pricing and other factors; |
|
|
|
fluctuations in the cost of paper, other raw materials and
utilities; |
|
|
|
fluctuations in foreign currency rates; |
|
|
|
changes in air and ground delivery costs and postal rates and
postal regulations; |
|
|
|
seasonal fluctuations in overall demand for the Companys
services; |
|
|
|
changes in the printing market; |
|
|
|
the Companys ability to integrate the operations of
acquisitions into its operations; |
|
|
|
the financial condition of the Companys clients; |
|
|
|
the Companys ability to continue to obtain improved
operating efficiencies; |
|
|
|
the Companys ability to continue to develop services for
its clients; |
|
|
|
changes in the rules and regulations to which the Company is
subject and the cost of complying with these rules and
regulations, including environmental and health and welfare
benefit regulations; |
|
|
|
changes in the rules and regulations to which the Companys
clients are subject, such as the implementation of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which may result in decreased
capital markets activity as issuers weigh enhanced liabilities
against the benefits of conducting securities offerings; |
16
|
|
|
|
|
the effects of war or acts of terrorism affecting the overall
business climate; |
|
|
|
loss or retirement of key executives or employees; and |
|
|
|
natural events and acts of God such as earthquakes, fires or
floods. |
Many of these factors are described in greater detail in the
Companys filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, including those incorporated by reference in this
report. All future written and oral forward-looking statements
attributable to the Company or persons acting on behalf of the
Company are expressly qualified in their entirety by the
previous statements.
Overview
The Company had mixed results for the quarter ending
March 31, 2005. While revenue and segment profit increased
in the Globalization segment as compared to both the preceding
quarter and the comparable 2004 quarter, revenue and segment
profit decreased in the Financial Print segment for the quarter
ended March 31, 2005 as compared to the same period in
2004. Overall, revenue was $226.9 million in the first
quarter of 2005 as compared to $232.7 million in the
comparable quarter of 2004, a 3% decrease, and segment profit
was $17.4 million in the first quarter of 2005 as compared
to $16.3 million in 2004, a 7% increase.
The results of the Companys two reporting segments are
discussed below.
|
|
|
|
|
Financial Print. Revenue decreased $9.6 million, or
5.7%, for the first quarter of 2005 as compared to the same
period last year, and segment profit decreased
$3.9 million, or 15.8%, for the quarter ended
March 31, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004.
These results are primarily due to a 22% decline in
transactional revenue. The Company remains optimistic about the
remainder of 2005 in Financial Print due to the increased
transactional volume during the late stages of 2004, and a
steady level of announced merger and acquisition activity in
2005. The results of the first quarter of 2005 are not
indicative of the increase in financial print activity because a
number of these transactions havent completed, and the
Company recognizes revenue when projects are finalized. The
Company expects that as transactions complete, the corresponding
revenues and profits will rise. |
|
|
|
Globalization. Bowne Global Solutions revenue of
$58.9 million for the first quarter of 2005 represents a
7.8% increase over the first quarter of 2004 and segment profit
increased $0.3 million, or 12%, for the quarter ended
March 31, 2005, as compared to the same period in 2004.
Segment profit as a percent of revenue increased 20 basis
points over the first quarter of 2004. As compared to the fourth
quarter of 2004, revenue and segment profit increased $3.8 and
$0.8 million, respectively. These favorable results are
primarily due to customer projects that had been delayed in 2004
that have begun in 2005 and the result of cost reduction actions
that were implemented in the second half of 2004, consisting of
reorganizing the segments management structure, including
the elimination of senior management and staff positions, and
scaling back research and development spending. The Company is
optimistic that the results from this segment will continue to
be favorable in 2005 as compared to 2004 due to the cost savings
from these reductions, and the start-up of the delayed customer
projects in 2005. |
As discussed in Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements, the Company sold its document outsourcing
business in November of 2004. The results for the quarter ended
March 31, 2004 have been reclassified to reflect this
business as a discontinued operation and the results for the
litigation support services business which historically has been
presented in the outsourcing segment are now included in the
Corporate/Other category.
Items Affecting Comparability
The Company continually reviews its business, manages costs, and
aligns its resources with market demand, especially in light of
the volatility of the capital markets experienced over the last
several years and the resulting variability in transactional
financial printing activity. As a result, the Company took
several steps
17
over the last several years to reduce fixed costs, eliminate
redundancies, and better position the Company to respond to
market pressures or unfavorable economic conditions.
The following table summarizes the amounts incurred for
restructuring, integration and asset impairment charges for each
segment for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004:

The charges taken in the quarter ended March 31, 2005
reflect (i) the reduction of headcount in certain corporate
management and administrative functions that will not be
replaced, (ii) additional management and staff reductions
within the globalization segment as part of the actions that
were initiated in the fourth quarter of 2004, and
(iii) revisions to estimates of costs associated with
facilities which were exited in prior periods. Further
discussion of the restructuring activities is included in the
segment information which follows, as well as in Note 11 to
the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company expects to incur total restructuring and integration
charges for the full year 2005 of approximately $3 to
$8 million.
Results of Operations
Management evaluates the performance of its operating segments
separately to monitor the different factors affecting financial
results. Each segment is subject to review and evaluation as
management monitors current market conditions, market
opportunities and available resources. The performance of each
segment is discussed over the next few pages.
Management uses segment profit to evaluate the performance of
its operating segments. Segment profit is defined as gross
margin (revenue less cost of revenue) less selling and
administrative expenses. Segment performance is evaluated
exclusive of interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization,
certain shared corporate expenses, restructuring, integration
and asset impairment charges, and other expenses and other
income. Segment profit is measured because management believes
that such information is useful in evaluating the results of
certain segments relative to other entities that operate within
these industries and to its affiliated segments.

Financial Print revenue decreased 6% for the quarter ended
March 31, 2005, with the largest class of service in this
segment, transactional financial printing, down 22% as compared
to 2004. This decline in revenue from transactional financial
printing is consistent with the overall decline in capital
market activity as measured by the number of filings, which also
declined 22% year over year. Partially offsetting the decrease
in transactional printing revenue were the increases in revenue
generated from commercial and mutual funds printing services.
Revenue from the international markets increased 9% to
approximately $23,352 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005,
as compared to $21,413 for the quarter ended March 31,
2004. This increase is primarily due to the weakness in the
U.S. dollar compared to foreign currencies. At constant
exchange rates, revenue from international markets increased 3%
for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 compared to 2004. A
portion of the increase in revenue is also attributable to
increased transactional and compliance printing in Canada.
Despite competitive pricing pressures and the decline of
domestic transactional market activity of 22% during the first
quarter of 2005, the Company remains the leading financial
printer in both domestic and international markets. The Company
remains optimistic regarding the revenue from transactional
financial printing for 2005 due to the continued strong mergers
and acquisition activity.
Compliance revenue was relatively flat compared to last
years first quarter. Mutual fund services revenue
increased 8% and commercial revenue increased 18% for the
quarter ended March 31, 2005, which is primarily due to the
addition of several new clients and additional work from
existing clients.
Other revenue increased 8% for the quarter ended March 31,
2005, compared to the same period in 2004. This increase
resulted from increases in fulfillment and financial print
translation services compared to last years first quarter.
Gross margin of the financial printing segment decreased by 16%,
and the margin percentage decreased by approximately four
percentage points to 37%. The decreased activity in
transactional financial printing negatively impacts gross
margins since, historically, transactional financial printing is
our most profitable class of service. The growth in
non-transactional work (mutual fund, commercial, other) also
impacts gross margin
19
since this work is not as profitable as transactional work.
Gross margins were also negatively impacted due to the
competitive pricing pressure in the transactional market. As the
capital markets gain strength, we believe the more efficient
operating model the Company has developed over the past several
years will contribute to improving gross margin for the
financial print segment.
Selling and administrative expenses decreased 17% for the
quarter ended March 31, 2005 as compared to the same period
in the prior year. This decrease is primarily due to reductions
in those expenses directly associated with sales, such as
selling expenses (including commissions and bonuses) and certain
variable administrative expenses. Also contributing to the
decrease in selling and administrative costs was the collection
of approximately $2.0 million of amounts which had
previously been written off to bad debt expense. As a percentage
of sales, selling and administrative expenses decreased
approximately three percentage points to 24% for the quarter
ended March 31, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004.
The resources that the Company commits to the transactional
financial printing market are significant and management
continues to balance these resources with market conditions. In
the first quarter of 2005, the Company incurred additional
restructuring charges within its financial print segment related
to changes in the previous assumptions associated with the
closing of a portion of the London financial print facility, and
headcount reductions related to the continued consolidation of
the Companys fulfillment operations with its digital print
facility which began during 2004, as well as the reduction of
certain administrative positions which will not be replaced.
Total restructuring and asset impairment charges related to the
financial print segment for the quarter ended March 31,
2005 were $942 compared to $3,493 for the quarter ended
March 31, 2004.
Segment profit (as defined in Note 16 to the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements) from this segment decreased
16% for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 compared to 2004.
The decrease in segment profit is primarily a result of
decreased revenues in 2005. Segment profit as a percentage of
revenue decreased approximately one percentage point from 2004
to 2005. Refer to Note 16 of the Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements for additional segment financial
information and reconciliation of segment profit to income from
continuing operations before income taxes.

Revenue increased 8% for the quarter ended March 31, 2005.
Adjusting for the impact of foreign currency rates, revenue
increased approximately 3% from the prior year. Revenue growth
came primarily from increased localization in the technology
sector, as projects for customers who had delayed commitments in
the latter half of 2004 commenced during the first quarter of
2005. In particular, the localization of Microsofts Visual
Studio® 2005 was placed into production during the quarter.
Gross margin from this segment increased slightly, while the
gross margin percentage decreased two percentage points to
approximately 32%. The decline in margin is due to the impact of
foreign currency rates,
20
continued competitive price pressure in the localization
business, and declines in profit from the Department of Justice
interpretation services contract.
Selling and administrative expenses increased 1%, while
decreasing two percentage points as a percentage of revenue. The
increase in selling and administrative expenses is generally
related to the negative impact of the weaker U.S. dollar on
foreign denominated costs. At constant exchange rates, selling
and administrative expenses actually declined approximately 3%.
The real decline came as a result of cost cutting initiatives
implemented throughout 2004, including consolidation of offices
in the segments Italian operations, closure of the
segments San Diego facility, reduction of corporate
management and staff, and scaling back the investment in
research and development activities.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2005, restructuring,
integration and asset impairment charges related to the
globalization segment were $405 compared to $1,480 for the
quarter ended March 31, 2005. In 2005, these charges were
primarily related to the continuation of the reduction of
corporate management and staff and research and development
staff begun during the fourth quarter of 2004, as well as
closure of the segments Boston facility.
As a result of the foregoing, segment profit (as defined in
Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements) for this
segment increased $253 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005
compared to 2004. Segment profit as a percentage of revenue
remained flat at 4%. Refer to Note 16 of the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements for additional segment
financial information and reconciliation of segment profit to
income from continuing operations before taxes.
Overall revenue decreased $5,830, or 3%, for the quarter ended
March 31, 2005. The decrease is largely attributed to the
decrease in revenue from the financial print segment,
specifically transactional financial printing, and was partially
offset by a slight increase in revenue from the globalization
segment. There was an $11,198, or 12% decrease in gross margin,
and the gross margin percentage decreased approximately four
percentage points to 35%. This decrease in gross margin
percentage was primarily attributable to the decreased level of
transactional financial print activity, which historically has
produced higher levels of gross profit.
Selling and administrative expenses on a company-wide basis
decreased by $7,229, or 11%. This decrease is due to the result
of expenses directly associated with sales, such as selling
expenses (including commission and bonuses) and certain variable
administrative expenses, the collection of previously written
off account receivables, the effect of headcount reductions
related to administrative positions within the globalization
segment, and the Companys continual effort to manage
expenses. Shared corporate expenses were $5,666 in the quarter
ended March 31, 2005 as compared to $5,059 for the same
period in 2004. This increase was primarily attributable to
increased professional fees. As a percentage of sales, overall
selling and administrative expenses decreased approximately 3%,
to 27% for the quarter ended March 31, 2005.
Depreciation decreased slightly by $332, or 4%, primarily as a
result of decreased capital spending in recent years.
There were $2,041 in restructuring, integration, and asset
impairment charges for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, as
compared to $5,837 in the quarter ended March 31, 2004, as
discussed in Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements.
Interest expense decreased $1,410, or 50%, primarily as a result
of the early retirement of the Companys senior notes in
December 2004, as described in the Companys annual report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.
Interest expense related to these notes was approximately
$1.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004.
Also contributing to the decrease in interest expense was a
decrease in the amortization of deferred financing costs, also
related to the early retirement of the Companys senior
notes, and no interest on the Companys revolving credit
facility during the quarter ended March 31, 2005.
Income tax expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 was
$3,343 on pre-tax income from continuing operations of $7,261,
compared to an income tax expense in 2004 of $2,986 on pre-tax
income from continuing
21
operations of $4,501. The effective overall income tax rate was
impacted by the lower pre-tax income in 2004 compared to the
higher pre-tax income in 2005 and the income mix between U.S.
and foreign jurisdictions. The size of the non-deductible
expenses is relatively unchanged from year to year, and the rate
applied to U.S. taxable (loss) income remained at
approximately 38%.
Other income, net was $1,698 for the three months ended
March 31, 2005 as compared to $410 for the same period in
2004. The increase was primarily attributable to foreign
currency translation gains in the first quarter of 2005 compared
to losses in the first quarter of 2004, and an increase in
interest income during the three months ended March 31,
2005 as compared to the prior year.
As a result of the foregoing, net income for the quarter ended
March 31, 2005 was $3,918 as compared to $2,964 for the
same period in 2004.

Mexico, South America and Asia. All of the Companys

Foreign pre-tax income from continuing operations improved
significantly in the quarter ended March 31, 2005, compared
to the same period in 2004. This increase is primarily
attributable to the favorable results of the globalization
segment for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 as compared to
same period last year, and a decrease in restructuring charges,
integration costs and asset impairment charges. The foreign
results for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 included
approximately $2.4 million of restructuring charges, which
included costs associated with the consolidation of the
globalization segments operations in Italy. The foreign
results for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 included
approximately $0.5 million primarily related to changes in
the prior assumptions regarding the London financial print
facility. The decrease in domestic pre-tax income from
continuing operations is primarily due to the decrease in
revenue from the financial print segment. The domestic results
for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 included approximately
$3.4 million in restructuring charges, integration costs
and asset impairment charges, consisting of the integration of
the Companys fulfillment operations with its digital print
facility. The domestic results for the quarter ended
March 31, 2005 included approximately $1.5 million of
restructuring charges consisting primarily of workforce
reductions within corporate management and administrative
functions in the financial print and globalization segments.

The increase in working capital results from several factors. An
increase of approximately $24.0 million in working capital
is due to an increase in cash and marketable securities and an
increase of approximately $10.7 million is due to an
increase in accounts receivable as of March 31, 2005 as
compared to March 31, 2004. Also contributing to the
increase in working capital was the decrease of approximately
$15.2 million in accounts payable and accrued liabilities
primarily related to a decrease in accrued compensation and
benefits of $13.5 million largely in connection with the
decrease in current accrued pension costs resulting from the
significant amount of pension contributions made during 2004 and
a decrease in accrued expenses associated with the decreased
revenue and profitability of the financial print segment
(including accrued commissions and bonuses) for the quarter
ended March 31, 2005 as compared to 2004. The decrease in
accrued compensation and benefits was offset due to an increase
in current accrued supplemental executive retirement plan
(SERP) expenses in 2005 related to payments expected to be
made during the first quarter of 2006. Offsetting the increase
in working capital from 2004 to 2005 was the excess of current
assets held for sale of approximately $15.2 million over
current liabilities held for sale related to the discontinued
document outsourcing business, included in working capital for
2004. Overall working capital increased approximately
$40.5 million for the three months ended March 31,
2005 as compared to the same period in 2004.
During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Companys Board of
Directors authorized an open market stock repurchase program to
repurchase up to $35 million of the Companys common
stock. Over a period of up to two years, management is
authorized to purchase shares from time to time at prevailing
prices as permitted by securities laws and other legal
requirements, and subject to market conditions and other
factors. The program may be discontinued at any time. No trading
activity has occurred in the public market related to this
program as of May 10, 2005.
The Company had all of the borrowings available under its
$115 million revolving credit facility as of March 31,
2005. The Company is in the process of renewing the revolving
credit facility, which expires in July 2005, and expects
completion in May 2005. The Companys Canadian subsidiary
also had all of its borrowings available under its
$4.3 million Canadian dollar credit facility as of
March 31, 2005.
It is expected that the cash generated from operations, working
capital, and the Companys borrowing capacity will be
sufficient to fund its development and integration needs (both
foreign and domestic), finance future acquisitions, if any, and
capital expenditures, provide for the payment of dividends, meet
its debt service requirements and provide for repurchases of the
Companys common stock under the aforementioned stock
repurchase program. The Company experiences certain seasonal
factors with respect to its borrowing needs; the heaviest period
for borrowing is normally the second quarter. The Companys
existing borrowing capacity provides for this seasonal increase.
Capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31,
2005 were $4,279. For the full year 2005, the Company plans
capital spending of approximately $25 million.
Cash Flows
The Company continues to focus on cash management, including
managing receivables and inventory. Year-to-date average days
sales outstanding increased to 72 days for the three months
ended March 31, 2005 from 69 days for the same period
last year. The Company had net cash used in operating activities
of $40,840 and $16,217 for the quarters ended March 31,
2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase in net cash used in
operating activities in the first quarter of 2005 as compared to
2004 is primarily attributable to the larger amount of bonuses
and commissions paid during the first quarter of 2005. Also
contributing to the increase in cash used in operating
activities was the increase in cash used to pay income taxes and
a larger fluctuation in accounts payable and other accrued
liabilities during 2005 as compared to 2004. The Company had
income from continuing operations of $3,918 in the quarter
ending March 31,2005 as compared to income from continuing
operations of $1,515 for the same period in 2004. Overall, cash
used in operating activities increased by approximately
$24.6 million from 2004 to 2005.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $16,171 for the
quarter ended March 31, 2005 as compared to net cash used
by investing activities for the quarter ended March 31,
2004 of $4,520. The change from 2004 to 2005 was primarily the
result of $20,280 received from the sale of marketable
securities during the quarter
23
ended March 31,2005, and from less cash used in the
acquisition of property, plant and equipment during the first
quarter of 2005 as compared to the prior year.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $3,608 and $21,643
for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004,
respectively. The change in 2005 compared to 2004 primarily
resulted from net payments of debt in 2005 of approximately
$170, as compared to net borrowings of $13,445 in 2004, and
proceeds from stock option exercises of $5,633 in 2005 as
compared to $10,071 in 2004.
Net cash used in discontinued operations was $3,512 and $5,225
for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004,
respectively. The cash used in discontinued operations for the
quarter ended March 31, 2005 primarily represents the
payment of accrued expenses (primarily employee compensation and
benefits) related to the sale of the Companys document
outsourcing business in November 2004. The cash used in
discontinued operations in 2004 primarily represents the
operations of the discontinued business during the first quarter
of 2004.
2005 Outlook
The following statements and certain statements made elsewhere
in this document are based upon current expectations. These
statements are forward looking and are subject to factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those
suggested here, including demand for and acceptance of the
Companys services, new technological developments,
competition and general economic or market conditions,
particularly in the domestic and international capital markets,
and excludes the effect of potential dilution from the
Convertible Subordinated Debentures and the impact from any
future purchases under our share repurchase program. Refer also
to the Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward Looking
Statements included at the beginning of this Item 2.
For 2005, the Company expects improved results over 2004. The
Company is optimistic about the financial print business due to
the increase in the capital market mergers and acquisitions
activity. The Company expects improvement in its globalization
segment as it realizes the benefits of cost reductions made
during 2004 and as delayed customer projects start up in 2005.
The guidance for the full year 2005 results remain unchanged
from the estimates provided in the Companys annual report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, and
the Company continues to estimate that full year 2005 results
will be in the ranges shown below.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 47
(FIN 47), Accounting for Conditional
Asset Retirement Obligations An Interpretation of
FASB Statement No. 143. FIN 47 clarifies the
terms of FASB Statement No. 143 and requires an entity to
recognize a liability for a conditional asset retirement
obligation if the entity has sufficient information to
reasonably estimate its fair value. FIN 47 is effective no
later than the end of fiscal years ending after
December 15, 2005. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact of this standard on its financial statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123 (revised 2004),
Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123(R))
which replaces SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Among
other items, SFAS 123(R) eliminates the use of APB Opinion
No. 25 and the intrinsic method of accounting, and requires
all share-based payments, including grants of employee stock
options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on
their fair values. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange
Commission adopted a new rule deferring the effective date of
SFAS 123(R) for public companies until the first interim or
annual reporting period of the first fiscal year that begins
after June 15, 2005. In accordance with the new rule, the
Company expects to adopt SFAS 123(R) in the first quarter
of 2006 and will recognize compensation expense for all
share-based payments and employee stock options based on the
grant-date fair value of those awards. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of the statement on its financial
statements. As the Company currently accounts for share-based
payments using the intrinsic value method as allowed by APB
Opinion No. 25, the adoption of the fair value method under SFAS
123(R) will have an impact on its results of operations.
However, the extent of the impact cannot be predicted at this
time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments
granted in the future. Had the Company adopted SFAS 123(R) in
prior periods, the impact of that standard would have
approximated the impact of SFAS 123 as described in Note 7 to
the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff
Position 109-2 (FSP FAS 109-2),
Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign
Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs
Creation Act of 2004. The American Jobs Creation Act of
2004 introduces a special one-time dividends received deduction
on the repatriation of certain foreign earnings to a
U.S. taxpayer (repatriation provision), provided certain
criteria are met. FSP FAS 109-2 gives a company
additional time to evaluate the effects of the legislation on
any plan for reinvestment or repatriation of foreign earnings
for purposes of applying SFAS No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes. The deduction is subject to a number of
limitations, and uncertainty remains as to how to interpret
numerous provisions in the Act. As such, the Company is not in a
position to decide on whether, and to what extent, it might
repatriate foreign earnings that have not yet been remitted to
the U.S. based on its analysis to date. The Company
therefore cannot reasonably estimate the income tax effect of
such repatriation. The Company expects to be in a position to
finalize its assessment by December 31, 2005.

Item 3. |
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market
Risk |
The Companys market risk is principally associated with
trends in the domestic and international capital markets,
particularly in the financial print segment. This includes
trends in the initial public offerings and mergers and
acquisitions markets, both important components of the financial
print segment. The Company also has market risk tied to interest
rate fluctuations related to its debt obligations and
fluctuations in foreign currency, as discussed below.
Interest Rate Risk
The Companys exposure to market risk for changes in
interest rates relates primarily to its short-term investment
portfolio, long-term debt obligations, revolving credit
agreement and synthetic lease agreement.
The Company does not use derivative instruments in its
short-term investment portfolio. The Companys debentures
issued in September 2003 consist of fixed rate instruments, and
therefore, would not be impacted
25
by changes in interest rates. The debentures have a fixed
interest rate of 5%. Amounts borrowed under the three-year,
$175 million revolving credit facility that was completed
in July 2002 (and amended in March and September 2003 and
January 2005, with the facility reduced to $115 million in
October 2003) bear interest at LIBOR plus 125-325 basis points
or an alternative base rate (greater of Federal Funds rate plus
50 basis points or the Prime rate) depending on certain
leverage ratios. During the quarter ended March 31, 2005
there were no borrowings on this credit facility. The Company is
in the process of renewing the revolving credit facility, which
expires in July 2005, and expects completion in
May 2005.
Foreign Exchange Rates
The Company derives a portion of its revenues from various
foreign sources. The Companys globalization segment is
impacted by foreign currency fluctuations since its labor costs
are predominantly denominated in foreign currencies, while a
significant portion of its revenue is denominated in
U.S. dollars. This is somewhat mitigated by the fact that
revenue from the Companys international financial print
operations is denominated in foreign currencies, while some of
its costs are denominated in U.S. dollars. To date, the
Company has not used foreign currency hedging instruments to
reduce its exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations. The
Company has reflected translation adjustments of $7,595 and
$3,630 in its consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for
the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004,
respectively. These adjustments are primarily attributed to the
fluctuation in value between the U.S. dollar and the euro,
pound sterling and Canadian dollar.
Equity Price Risk
The Company currently does not have any significant investments
in marketable equity securities. The Companys defined
benefit pension plan holds investments in both equity and fixed
income securities. The amount of the Companys annual
contribution to the plan is dependent upon, among other things,
the return on the plans assets. To the extent there are
fluctuations in equity values, the amount of the Companys
annual contribution could be affected. For example, a decrease
in equity prices could increase the amount of the Companys
annual contributions to the plan.

Item 4. |
Controls and Procedures |
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures The Company
maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures
designed to provide reasonable assurance that information
required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files
or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure
controls are also designed to reasonably assure that such
information is accumulated and communicated to management,
including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure. Disclosure controls include components of
internal control over financial reporting, which consists of
control processes designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the U.S.
As reported in its annual report on Form 10-K and
Form 10-K/ A for the year ended December 31, 2004, the
Companys management identified material weaknesses in its
internal control over financial reporting within the
globalization segment relating to 1) the lack of sufficient
reconciliation and review controls over purchase accounting
adjustments, and 2) the lack of sufficient reconciliation
and review controls over the determination of legal entity
profitability, income tax expense and the related income tax
accounts. Specifically, the lack of sufficient reconciliation
and review controls over purchase accounting adjustments for the
globalization segment resulted in a failure to properly
eliminate depreciation expense for an acquired entity, and the
lack of sufficient reconciliation and review controls over the
determination of legal entity profitability for the
globalization segment resulted in the incorrect allocation of
consolidated income to certain legal entities and the
determination of income tax expense and the related income tax
accounts within the globalization segment. As a result of these
material weaknesses, management concluded in its 2004 annual
report that the Companys disclosure controls and
procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2004.
26
During the first quarter of 2005, the Company has implemented
additional controls and procedures (discussed further below) in
order to remediate the material weaknesses discussed above, and
it is continuing to assess additional controls that may be
required to remediate these weaknesses. The Companys
management, under the supervision of and with the participation
of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has
evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of
March 31, 2005, pursuant to Exchange Act
Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) (the Exchange
Act). As part of its evaluation, management has evaluated
whether the control deficiencies related to the reported
material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting
continue to exist. Although the Company believes that it has
designed a process which has remediated its reported material
weaknesses, it has not completed implementation and testing of
the changes in controls and procedures which it believes are
necessary to conclude that the material weaknesses have been
remediated. As a result, the Companys management has
concluded that it cannot assert that the control deficiencies
relating to the reported material weaknesses have been
effectively remediated as of March 31, 2005. Based upon
this conclusion, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Companys
disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of
March 31, 2005.
The Company believes that the actions it has taken to date,
including the changes outlined below, have mitigated the
material weaknesses with respect to the preparation of this
quarterly report on Form 10-Q, such that the information
contained in this quarterly report fairly presents, in all
material respects, the financial condition and results of
operations of the Company for the periods presented.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting. During the quarter ended March 31, 2005,
management has taken the following actions listed below to
remediate the material weaknesses described in the
Companys annual report on Form 10-K and
Form 10-K/ A for the year ended December 31, 2004
|
|
|
|
|
Formalized and enhanced processes and procedures for reconciling
and reviewing the elimination of adjustments and entries related
to purchase price adjustments for the globalization segment. |
|
|
|
Formalized and enhanced processes and procedures for rolling
forward balance sheet amounts from period to period to identify
potential errors. |
|
|
|
Implemented a more thorough and comprehensive reconciliation and
review of the profitability, income tax expense and related
income tax accounts associated with each legal entity in the
globalization segment. |
|
|
|
Implemented more thorough procedures around identification of
amounts recorded in consolidation that need to be pushed down to
the legal entity level. |
|
|
|
Simplified the consolidation process by recording certain
entries at the legal entity level, rather than as a
consolidation adjustment. |
The Company believes the steps outlined above will strengthen
the Companys internal control over financial reporting and
address the material weaknesses described above.
Other than the changes discussed above, there have not been any
changes in the Companys internal control over financial
reporting during the Companys most recently completed
fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to affect, the Companys internal control over
financial reporting.
