Management Commentary
"Our managed print services program continued to perform well in the second quarter, and the rest of the business is stabilizing," said K. "Suri" Suriyakumar, Chairman, President and CEO of ARC Document Solutions. "With exceptional operational performance, we have been able to deliver a strong quarter, generate excellent cash flows, and create an opportunity to aggressively reduce our senior debt."
Chief Operating Officer, Dilo Wijesuriya, said, "We made significant gains with some of our largest prospects and clients during the quarter, and made good progress in placing our technology products and services. The construction market appears to be regaining some of its strength in certain markets, and that will help us in the coming quarters as we leverage the operational improvements we've made since the recession."
"Our revenue improvement was welcome particularly when combined with the fundamental increase in our margins. Ultimately our generation of free cash tells our story best during this period, growing 199% on a year-over-year basis for the quarter," said John Toth, Chief Financial Officer. "We continue to put a high priority on improving our credit quality, and leveraging the upgrade by S&P to pursue further improvements in our capital structure."
