Management Commentary

"It was an excellent quarter and our performance clearly highlighted the difference between the document solutions provider we are today, the reprographics company we were prior to the recession, and the role we'll play in the future distributing documents and information from the cloud with secure mobile access. Our customers are asking us to find new ways to meet their needs, work with them in the cloud, and create new solutions for them to interact with the massive amounts of information they generate," said K. "Suri" Suriyakumar, Chairman, President and CEO of ARC Document Solutions. "It's a different ballgame."

"We achieved double digit growth in managed print services and color, we saw more growth in archiving and information management and our construction document hyperlinking services, and there was great interest and new placements around the country for our PlanWell SmartScreens," Mr. Suriyakumar continued. "Our robust margin expansion led to strong earnings performance, and strong cash generation provided the means to aggressively reduce our senior debt in the same fashion we established in the first two quarters of the year, improving both our capital structure and our debt ratios."

The Company also announced that it has entered into a commitment letter with Wells Fargo Bank to refinance the Company's existing line of credit and its current "Term B" loan facility with a new secured credit facility containing "tranche A" revolving loans and "Term A" loans expected to be syndicated primarily to commercial banking institutions active in the "pro rata" bank market. The closing of the new loan facility is subject to the satisfaction of various conditions, including the receipt of commitments from the proposed lenders and the negotiation of definitive documentation. The Company expects the interest rate of the new five-year Term A facility to be at or near LIBOR plus 250 basis points. The Company expects to close the new loan facility before the end of the fourth quarter.

(1) Cash flows provided by operating activities for the three and nine      
    months ended September 30, 2013 includes cash payments related to       
    restructuring of $0.7 million and $3.3 million, respectively. Cash flows
    provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30,
    2013 includes an income tax refund of $3.8 million received in 2013     
    related to our 2009 consolidated federal income tax return. Cash flows  
    provided by operating activities for the three and nine months ended    
    September 30, 2014 includes cash payments for trade secret litigation   
    costs of $1.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively, and cash payments 
    related to restructuring of $0.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively.
                                                                            
(2) On February 1, 2013, we filed a civil complaint against a competitor and
    a former employee in the Superior Court of California for Orange County,
    which alleged, among other claims, the misappropriation of ARC trade    
    secrets; namely, proprietary customer lists that were used to           
    communicate with our customers in an attempt to unfairly acquire their  
    business. In prior litigation with the competitor based on related      
    facts, in 2007 the competitor entered into a settlement agreement and   
    stipulated judgment, which included an injunction. We instituted this   
    suit to stop the defendant from using similar unfair business practices 
    against us in the Southern California market. The case proceeded to     
    trial in May 2014, and a jury verdict was entered for the defendants. In
    August 2014, we filed a Notice of Appeal. Legal fees associated with the
    litigation totaled $0.3 million and $2.8 million for the three and nine 
    months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBIT, EBITDA and related ratios presented in this report are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by or presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). These measures are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, income from operations, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as a measure of our liquidity.

EBIT represents net income before interest and taxes. EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBIT margin is a non-GAAP measure calculated by dividing EBIT by net sales. EBITDA margin is a non-GAAP measure calculated by dividing EBITDA by net sales.

We present EBIT, EBITDA and related ratios because we consider them important supplemental measures of our performance and liquidity. We believe investors may also find these measures meaningful, given how our management makes use of them. The following is a discussion of our use of these measures.

We use EBIT and EBITDA to measure and compare the performance of our operating segments. Our operating segments' financial performance includes all of the operating activities except debt and taxation which are managed at the corporate level for U.S. operating segments. As a result, we believe EBIT is the best measure of operating segment profitability and the most useful metric by which to measure and compare the performance of our operating segments. We also use EBIT to measure performance for determining operating segment-level compensation and we use EBITDA to measure performance for determining consolidated-level compensation. In addition, we use EBIT and EBITDA to evaluate potential acquisitions and potential capital expenditures.

EBIT, EBITDA and related ratios have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are as follows:

Because of these limitations, EBIT, EBITDA, and related ratios should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in business growth or to reduce our indebtedness. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using EBIT, EBITDA and related ratios only as supplements. For more information, see our interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes on our 2014 third quarter report on Form 10-Q. Additionally, please refer to our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our presentation of adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA over certain periods is an attempt to provide meaningful comparisons to our historical performance for our existing and future investors. The unprecedented changes in our end markets over the past several years have required us to take measures that are unique in our history and specific to individual circumstances. Comparisons inclusive of these actions make normal financial and other performance patterns difficult to discern under a strict GAAP presentation. Each non-GAAP presentation, however, is explained in detail in the reconciliation tables above.

Specifically, we have presented adjusted net income attributable to ARC and adjusted earnings per share attributable to ARC shareholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 to reflect the exclusion of loss on extinguishment of debt, restructuring expense, trade secret litigation costs, and changes in the valuation allowances related to certain deferred tax assets and other discrete tax items. This presentation facilitates a meaningful comparison of our operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. We believe these charges were the result of the current macroeconomic environment, our capital restructuring, or other items which are not indicative of our actual operating performance.

We presented adjusted EBITDA in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 to exclude loss on extinguishment of debt, trade secret litigation costs, stock-based compensation expense, and restructuring expense. The adjustment of EBITDA for non-cash adjustments is consistent with the definition of adjusted EBITDA in our credit agreement; therefore, we believe this information is useful to investors in assessing our financial performance.
