ARC Document Solutions, Inc. has announced its third quarter expectations for significant quarterly increases in sales and earnings, and continuing strength in cash flow from operations. Management also plans to reinstate dividends and share repurchases. ARC's 2020 third quarter earnings report will be presented on November 4, 2020.
"The market for signage, color and environmental graphics is proving to be robust, as we expected. After reconfiguring the business earlier this year, we are positioned perfectly to take advantage of these sales trends and leverage our lower cost structure," said Suri Suriyakumar, CEO of ARC. "After testing the integrity of our strong cash flows for the past two quarters, I am also pleased with our plans to reinstate our dividend and stock repurchase programs before the end of the year."
The company expects to report third quarter revenue in excess of $70 million. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be more than $12 million, beating its year-over-year performance and exceeding its second quarter performance by more than a million dollars. Based on its continuing strong cash flow performance, ARC is reviewing the timing for the reinstatement of its four-cent annual dividend, as well as a continuation of share repurchases in the open market.
ARC's Recent Reconfiguration
On August 4, 2020, during the Company's second quarter earnings report, ARC announced significant changes to the Company's sales and marketing, operations, finance, technology, and corporate functions. Its stated goal was to create the potential for new growth by focusing on a resurgence of digital printing and graphic imaging, and to remove redundant capacity, assets, and infrastructure associated with business lines that had become less relevant over time.
