This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in which the Company discusses factors it believes may affect its performance or results in the future. Forward-looking statements are all statements other than historical facts, such as statements regarding assumptions, expectations, beliefs and projections about future events or conditions. You can generally identify forward-looking statements by the appearance in such a statement of words like anticipate, believe, continue, could, estimate, expect, intend, may, might, plan, potential, predict, forecast, project, should or will or other comparable words or the negative of such words. The accuracy of the Companys assumptions, expectations, beliefs and projections depends on events or conditions that change over time and are thus susceptible to change based on actual experience, new developments and known and unknown risks, including those created by general market conditions, competition and the possibility that events may occur beyond the Companys control, which may limit its ability to maintain or improve its operating results or financial condition or acquire additional printing businesses. The Company gives no assurance that the forward-looking statements will prove to be correct and does not undertake any duty to update them. The Companys actual future results might differ from the forward-looking statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a variety of reasons, which include, weakness in the economy, financial stability of its customers, the sustained growth of its digital printing business, seasonality of election-related business, its ability to adequately manage business expenses, including labor costs, the unfavorable outcome of legal proceedings, the lack of or adequacy of insurance coverage for its operations, the continued availability of raw materials at affordable prices, retention of its key management and operating personnel, satisfactory labor relations, the potential for additional goodwill impairment charges, charges related to its withdrawal from multi-employer pension plans, its ability to identify new acquisition opportunities, negotiate and finance such acquisitions on acceptable terms and successfully absorb and manage such acquisitions in a timely and efficient manner, as well as other risks described under the heading Risk Factors of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the risk factors and cautionary statements described in the other documents the Company files or furnishes from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K. Should one or more of the foregoing risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the Companys underlying assumptions, expectations, beliefs or projections prove incorrect, the Companys actual results may vary materially from those anticipated in its forward-looking statements, and its business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
In this annual report, the words Consolidated Graphics, CGX, the Company, we, our and us refer to Consolidated Graphics, Inc., including our consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise. Our fiscal year ends on March 31st.
Company Overview
Consolidated Graphics, headquartered in Houston, Texas, is one of North Americas leading general commercial printing and print-related companies, with 70 printing businesses strategically located across 27 states, Toronto, Prague, and Gero, Japan. Each of our North American printing businesses has a well-established operating history, more than 25 years in most cases. Approximately 94% of our revenues are attributable to our U.S. businesses. Approximately 94% of our long-lived assets are located in the U.S.
Our sales are derived from providing commercial printing and print-related services. These services consist of (i) traditional print services, including electronic prepress, digital and offset printing, finishing, storage and delivery of high-quality printed documents which are custom manufactured to our customers design specifications; (ii) fulfillment and mailing services for such printed materials; (iii) technology solutions that enable our customers to more efficiently procure and manage printed materials and/or design, procure, distribute, track and analyze results of printing-based marketing programs and activities; and (iv) multi-media capabilities allowing our customers to supplement the message of their printed materials through other media, such as the internet, email, or text messaging. Examples of the types of documents we print for our customers include high-quality, multi-color marketing materials, product and capability brochures, point-of-purchase displays, packaging, customized materials for the financial services, insurance, healthcare and similar industries, direct mail pieces, shareholder communications, trading cards, and photo products such as calendars and photo books.
The scope and extent of services provided to our customers typically varies for each individual order we receive, depending on customer-specific factors, including the intended uses for the printed materials. Furthermore, each of our printing businesses is generally capable of providing the complete range of our services to its customers. Accordingly, we do not operate our business in a manner that differentiates among our respective capabilities and services for financial or management reporting purposes, rather each of our printing businesses define a distinct reporting unit.
The Company was incorporated in Texas in 1985. Our website address is www.cgx.com. We make available free of charge on or through our website our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports, filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act) and other filings as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such reports with or furnish such reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In addition, the current forms of our Corporate Governance Guidelines, Code of Ethics, and the charters of the respective committees of our Board of Directors, and contact information for our Lead Independent Director, which is the Presiding Director for purposes of communications with interested parties, including shareholders, are all available on our website. We will also provide printed copies of these materials to any shareholder upon request directed to Consolidated Graphics, Inc., Attn: Secretary, 5858 Westheimer, Suite 200, Houston, Texas 77057. We intend to disclose on our website any changes to or waivers from the Code of Ethics that are also required under SEC rules and regulations to be disclosed under Item 5.05 of Form 8-K. The information on our website is not, and shall not be deemed to be, a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K or incorporated into any other filings we make with the SEC.
Industry Background
The printing industry is one of the largest industries in the U.S. and is comprised of many segments, including general commercial printing, newspapers, directories, book and magazine publishing, financial printing, business forms, greeting cards and stationery-type products. We operate in the general commercial printing segment of the industry which generates in the U.S. over $45 billion in annual sales based on available industry data. Most of the general commercial printing businesses operating in the U.S. today are privately-owned and individually generate less than $10 million in annual sales.
A consolidation trend in the general commercial printing industry emerged in the 1990s as owners of printing businesses sought to evaluate exit strategies and address new industry challenges, a trend that has continued. The decline in demand for printing services since 2008, caused by the global recession, has further increased the risk for owners of printing companies. In order to limit personal financial risk, increase personal financial liquidity, facilitate retirement goals or obtain access to additional resources that would support the continued growth of their businesses, owners of these printing businesses are increasingly willing to sell their companies to larger, better-capitalized companies. We have been an industry-leader in the consolidation trend since our initial public offering in 1994. We believe that there are very few companies that currently possess the industry knowledge, financial strength and management expertise necessary to acquire such printing businesses effectively.
Primary industry challenges faced by printing business owners include the need to make on-going investments in new technology and equipment and downturns in the economy. General commercial printing businesses must make substantial capital investments over time in new equipment and technology in order to remain competitive in the industry, but they may not have the financial resources to do so. The current state of the financial market has also limited the amount of available credit to many printing businesses, thus hindering their ability to invest in new equipment and technology.
Because of the development and on-going advancement in digital technology, print buyers have increasingly sought shorter print runs, the ability to personalize more sophisticated marketing materials to strategically target certain markets or demographics, and e-commerce solutions for executing and controlling the print procurement and printed materials management processes. This development has also contributed substantially to the burden on companies in our industry to invest in new technology and equipment to remain competitive. Additionally, large corporations have increasingly sought to achieve a reduction in operating costs by streamlining their print-related processes and limiting their number of suppliers. To accomplish these objectives, these large customers frequently seek to align themselves with printing companies that have a significant national presence and offer a wide range of commercial print capabilities and services (including the latest technology), putting additional pressure on single-location, privately-held printing companies.
In general, changes in prevailing U.S. economic conditions have and will continue to impact the general commercial printing industry (approximately 94% of our fiscal 2013 revenues were generated in the U.S.). Generally, if weakness in the U.S. economy causes local and national corporations to reduce their spending on advertising and marketing materials, the demand for commercial printing services may be adversely affected. Further compounding a potential decline in demand, competitive pricing pressures may occur and negatively impact the level of sales and profit margins throughout the industry.
Competition
The general commercial printing industry in the U.S. is highly fragmented and most customers procure print services from local sources. Therefore, we compete primarily with locally-based printing companies for most print projects. Most of our competitors are privately-held, single location operations; however, some competitors are larger corporations, both publicly and privately owned.
The major competitive factors in our business are:
· Extent and quality of customer service, including ability to meet customer deadlines
· Quality of finished materials
· Technology infrastructure
· Cost structure and sales pricing strategy
· Financial strength
The ability to provide high-quality customer service is also dependent on production and distribution capabilities, along with the availability of equipment that is appropriate in size and function for a given project. We believe that our broad range of printing capabilities and services, along with our ability to use our geographic footprint to serve customers on local, regional and national levels, gives us a competitive advantage over smaller, local printing companies. Furthermore, the economic advantages created by our purchasing power, advanced technological capabilities and ability to utilize available production capacity throughout our organization, enable our printing businesses to compete more effectively and provide faster turnaround times than many of our competitors. Furthermore, our strong financial position enables us to invest in newer, more efficient technology infrastructure and to make strategic acquisitions, which expands our industry-leading position in terms of locations, capabilities, and services.
Business Strategy
Our overall business strategy is to be the market leader in the commercial printing industry by combining the customer service and responsiveness of well-managed, local printing businesses with the competitive advantages provided by a large national organization. Management at each of our printing businesses maintains responsibility for the day-to-day operations and profitability of their business, while continuing to strengthen and build new customer relationships in their respective markets. At the same time, our printing businesses are supported by the management expertise, purchasing power, technology investments, including technology infrastructure and support, strategic sales and marketing and other operating advantages that exist because they are part of a large organization.
Internal Sales Growth Our printing businesses have numerous opportunities, individually and collectively, to achieve long-term sales growth. We are investing in capabilities to serve areas that are growing in the printing industry. These growth areas include digital printing, temporary point of purchase displays, collectible cards, packaging, fulfillment, and printing of customized materials for the financial services, insurance, health care and other similar industries. Our current initiatives to drive internal sales growth include:
· Aggressively pursuing new business opportunities and experienced sales professionals to gain market share and strengthen our competitive position going forward.
· Continuing to invest in new equipment and technology that enables us to provide increasingly higher levels of service and a broader range of capabilities.
· Capitalizing on our national presence, international operations and wide range of capabilities, including our technology related offerings (see Printing Operations Print-Related Services below) to pursue sole or preferred-source opportunities with strategic accounts.
· Providing information and training to our sales professionals (579 currently) to ensure they are knowledgeable about the complete range of services and capabilities we offer.
Disciplined Acquisition Program We will grow our geographic footprint from time to time through additional acquisitions of medium and large-sized general commercial printing businesses that generally have an excellent reputation and quality customer base. We may also acquire smaller and/or distressed printing businesses for integration into one of our existing businesses.
Cost Savings Because of our size and extensive geographic footprint, we leverage our economies of scale to purchase supplies and equipment used in the printing process and to purchase newer, more efficient equipment. We have various national purchasing contracts in place with major suppliers and manufacturers. Our purchasing support staff continually monitors market conditions and negotiates pricing and other contractual terms with these vendors to maximize the cost savings we achieve under these agreements. In
addition, we have centralized certain administrative services, such as human resources, legal, treasury, tax and risk management, to generate cost savings.
Best Practices/Benchmarking Management teams at our printing businesses have access to strategic counsel and professional management techniques in such areas as planning, organization, and controls. We provide a forum for them to share their knowledge of technical processes and their best practices with one another through periodic group meetings attended by top management and other key personnel. We utilize our wide-area network and management information systems to benchmark financial and operational data, and share such information across our printing businesses to help their management teams identify and respond to changes in operating trends.
Leadership Development Our program to recruit, train and develop recent college graduates as printing sales and management professionals is an integral component of our growth strategy. Participants in our Leadership Development Program follow a curriculum that provides them with technical industry knowledge, coupled with general business, managerial, sales and best practices training. Our Leadership Development Program is unique to the industry, and we believe it is a key factor in our ability to provide a high degree of quality customer service, as well as to provide a pool of talent for future management positions at our printing businesses. As of April 30, 2013 we had 523 employees who are either current participants in or graduates of this program, 24 of whom serve as presidents of the printing business where they are employed, representing 37% of our printing company presidents.
Printing Operations
We currently operate 70 printing businesses strategically located across 27 states, Toronto, Prague, and Gero, Japan (see Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies and Other Information Geographic Information for additional financial information with respect to our foreign operations). Each printing business is operated as a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of our Company, except for our printing business in Japan. Our Japanese printing business is a 51% owned joint venture that was established in April 2012. No individual facility accounts for more than 10% of our total revenues. We produce high-quality, custom-designed printed materials for a large base of customers in a broad cross-section of industries, the majority of which are located in the markets where our printing businesses are based. In addition to providing a full range of prepress, digital and offset printing and finishing services, our printing businesses offer fulfillment and mailing services, as well as e-commerce software solutions and other print-related, value-added services.
Commercial Printing Services
In general, commercial printing includes developing printable content through electronic prepress services, reproducing images on paper using printing presses and providing comprehensive finishing and delivery services. We maintain flexible production schedules in order to react swiftly to our customers requirements. Many printing projects require fast turnaround times, from conception through delivery, and our printing businesses must be able to absorb unexpected or short-notice demands for our services when called upon to do so. Consequently, our printing businesses do not generally operate at full capacity.
Our electronic prepress services include all of the steps necessary to prepare media (photographs, artwork, and typed copy) for printing. This process involves converting the media into digital images, separating digital color images into process colors, and in some cases preparing a proof for customer approval. Our printing businesses produce printing plates using computer-to-plate technology, whereby digitized text, graphic images and line art are transferred directly from digital files onto printing plates. In addition, our printing businesses have the latest technologies that enable delivery of a high-quality proof for customer approval electronically via the internet, eliminating the cost of producing and delivering a proof, or multiple rounds of proofs, in hard copy format. Computer-to-plate and remote proofing technology reduces costs, shortens turnaround times and improves product quality. We continually evaluate our existing electronic prepress capabilities and closely monitor the development of newer technology that may be used to increase productivity and improve quality to better serve our customers.
We primarily use offset lithography to reproduce images on paper, which is the process that generally provides the highest quality, lowest cost printed materials for most commercial printing projects. Short and medium-run projects are generally printed on sheetfed presses, while longer-run projects are typically printed on web presses. Our printing businesses primarily use sheetfed printing presses, which are generally capable of printing up to 16 pages of letter-sized finished product on a 28 by 40 inch sheet of paper with eight pages on each side (known as a 16-page signature). Currently our printing businesses operate a total of 243 sheetfed presses capable of simultaneously printing from one to 12 colors and are capable of running at speeds of up to 18,000 impressions an hour. We operate 48 half and full-size web printing presses which print up to eight colors on a continuous roll of paper, print up to 32-page signatures on both sides of the paper at speeds of up to 50,000 impressions an hour and, in many cases, are also capable of folding, gluing and/or perforating the printed material in a single pass.
Digital printing is a smaller but rapidly-growing component of the general commercial printing industry that enables high quality, variable data customization (such as personalization by name, relationship or interests) on very short to medium-run projects. We operate a total of 253 digital presses, including 142 high capacity, ultra high quality presses such as HP Indigo, Kodak Nexpress,
Xerox iGen and Xeikon XP 6000. In addition we operate 5 digital inkjet webpresses, each capable of producing approximately 15 times the output of a traditional digital press.
Our finishing services include cutting, folding, binding and other operations necessary to finish printed materials according to customer specifications. Many of our printing businesses also offer specialty finishing capabilities, such as die-cutting, embossing, UV coating, and foil stamping.
Print-Related Services
By offering innovative print-related capabilities and e-commerce solutions that respond to the needs of our customers, we believe that our Company has a competitive advantage that will help us generate additional sales. We provide a variety of fulfillment services, which primarily include assembling, packaging, storing, and distributing printed marketing, educational, and training documents and materials on behalf of our customers. Many corporations utilize our fulfillment capabilities to help manage their inventories of printed materials, as well as to provide just in time assembly and delivery of printed materials to end users. Orders for fulfillment services are commonly received via proprietary, internet-based print procurement and inventory management systems maintained by our printing businesses, as discussed below. Additionally, we provide extensive mailing services for printed materials, particularly consumer-direct marketing, advertising and promotional pieces produced for our customers. We also offer a number of options for sorting, packaging, inkjet labeling and shipping of printed materials.
Utilizing our information technology infrastructure and resources, as well as our expertise in digital technology, we offer print-related e-commerce solutions that enable our customers to (i) streamline their print procurement process and improve their ability to manage the printed materials they order, (ii) design, procure, distribute, track and analyze results of printing-based marketing programs and activities and (iii) supplement the message of their printed materials through other media, such as the internet, email or text messaging. Most of these e-commerce solutions are internet-based, and like the printed materials we produce, are customized to the specific needs of our customers. For marketing purposes, we refer to our e-commerce capabilities using the WorkSmart Suite collection of applications. The key e-commerce capabilities we offer through these applications include:
· Streamline
A fully customizable online web-to-print system with an array of tools that streamline the purchase, management and distribution of the customers entire range of marketing materials.
· Connect
A unique capability that enables the customer to combine the use of printed material with other marketing channels such as internet, email and text messages to create highly engaging personalized marketing campaigns designed to increase response rates.
· Organize
A powerful online system that provides the customer limitless means to organize, protect and facilitate proper use of their vast library of digital assets.
· Publish
A convenient online solution for businesses to create and print professionally-bound materials in units as low as one, for applications such as customized sales presentations, highly targeted promotional material and brand-building programs.
Sales support for our technology solutions, including WorkSmart Suite applications, is provided to our printing businesses to assist them in identifying prospective customers and marketing our suite of technology based capabilities and services. We maintain technology project management and staff to design and develop customized solutions in response to the specific needs of each customer. We also utilize support staff at each of our printing businesses who are trained and able to serve our customers needs related to our technical capabilities and services.
Sales and Marketing
Most of our sales are generated by individual orders through commissioned sales personnel. As of April 30, 2013 we employed 579 sales professionals. In addition to soliciting business from existing and prospective customers, our sales personnel act as liaisons between customers and our production departments and also provide technical advice and assistance to customers throughout the printing process.
The nature of commercial printing using offset lithography manufacturing processes requires a substantial amount of interaction with customers, including personal sales calls, reviews of color proofs and press checks (customer approval of printed materials during the printing process). Our sales professionals and customer service personnel maintain strict control of the printing process for every job we produce as it moves through our scheduling, prepress, printing, and finishing operations.
A significant element of our marketing focus is to ensure rapid response to customer requirements and produce high-quality printed materials at competitive prices. Rapid responsiveness is essential because of the short lead time on most commercial printing projects. Our printing operations are designed to maintain maximum flexibility to meet customer needs, both on scheduled and short-notice basis. Each of our printing businesses generally seek projects that it believes will best utilize its respective equipment and expertise; however, each has access to and is encouraged to offer its customers the broad range of capabilities we offer throughout our organization.
We also actively pursue opportunities to establish sole or preferred-source, printing relationships with large corporations that are seeking to leverage their print spending and limit their number of commercial print providers. We refer to these customers as strategic accounts. To better position ourselves to capitalize on future strategic account opportunities, as well as to provide more sales training and support to our printing businesses, our strategic sales organization consists of an executive level team of sales and marketing professionals who play a key support role to the efforts of our printing businesses to identify and develop strategic account opportunities.
Customers
Our diverse customer base includes both national and local corporations in North America operating in a wide range of industries, as well as advertising agencies, graphic design firms, catalog retailers, direct mail marketers, state and local governments and quasi-governmental agencies, educational institutions, not-for-profit associations, and political campaign organizations. During fiscal 2013, we served approximately 19,000 customers, and our top ten customers accounted for approximately 17% of total sales, with none representing more than 5% individually. We believe that our large and diverse customer base, broad geographic coverage of the U.S. and extensive range of printing and print-related capabilities may lessen our exposure to economic slowdowns or other adverse consequences that may generally affect any particular industry or any particular geographic region. However, because we typically produce a large number of advertising and marketing materials for our customers, to the extent that advertising and marketing spending is reduced during an economic downturn, our level of sales and results of operations may be adversely affected.
Our customers generally are not contractually obligated to purchase printing services from us in the future. Typically, we receive discrete orders from our customers for each printing project or service. Consequently, our continued engagement to provide additional commercial printing services largely depends upon, among other things, the customers satisfaction with the quality of services we provide. Although we do not depend on any one customer, group of customers or type of customer, our sales to many of our largest customers may fluctuate from year to year depending upon the number, size and complexity of projects they initiate and award us.
Suppliers
We purchase raw materials used in the commercial printing process (such as paper, prepress supplies, ink, and boxes) from a number of major North American, as well as many local, suppliers. We are not materially dependent on any one supplier and the raw materials we utilize are generally readily available. We use a two-tiered approach to purchasing in order to maximize the economies associated with our size, while maintaining the local efficiencies and time sensitivity required to meet customer demands. We negotiate master purchasing arrangements centrally with major suppliers and manufacturers to obtain preferential pricing and terms, and then communicate the terms of these arrangements to our individual printing businesses. Each printing business orders goods and services through our major vendors as needed based on the terms set forth in our master purchasing agreements or, when appropriate, purchases locally. We continually monitor market conditions and product developments, and we regularly review the contractual terms of our master purchasing agreements to take advantage of our increasing buying power and maximize the benefits associated with these agreements. We have no material supplier contracts that obligate us to minimum purchase requirements.
We incur significant costs to purchase paper used in the printing process. However, fluctuations in paper pricing generally do not materially impact our operating margins because we typically quote, and subsequently purchase, paper for each specific printing
project we are awarded. As a result, changes in paper pricing are typically passed through to customers by our printing businesses. The majority of our paper supply is obtained through merchant distributors. There are relatively few merchants that are considered national in scope in North America, with numerous regional organizations that serve one or more of our printing businesses. We have negotiated master purchasing agreements with certain mills, which produce paper, and certain merchants, who distribute the paper produced by the mills. These agreements typically provide for volume-related discounts and additional periodic rebates based on the total amount of purchases made by our printing businesses from each mill and/or merchant. Certain of our mill suppliers produce a Consolidated Graphics branded paper we named Inspire, under arrangements generally similar to our other major vendor agreements. Inspire enables us to further leverage our purchasing power and differentiate ourselves to customers in the marketplace. We also purchase Inspire Earth paper. This branded paper features the same overall quality characteristics of Inspire, except it is Forest Stewardship Council Certified, the global benchmark for responsible forest management, and contains 10% post-consumer waste.
We purchase a large quantity of prepress supplies, consisting mainly of plates and proofing materials. There are a limited number of key manufacturers of these materials, and we generally purchase prepress supplies from both major and regional distributors. We have obtained volume-related discounts and incentive arrangements from these manufacturers and receive periodic rebates based on the total amount of prepress supplies we purchase through these distributors. We also have contractual arrangements with certain freight carriers that provide us with discounts and periodic rebates.
Employees
As of April 30, 2013, we had 5,288 employees throughout our organization. Of this total, 471 were employed subject to the terms of various collective bargaining agreements, 336 of which are under collective bargaining agreements that have expired or will expire within one year. We are currently in negotiations for new collective bargaining agreements with unions at three of our printing businesses with expired collective bargaining agreements. We believe that our relations with our employees are generally satisfactory.
Government Regulation and Environmental Matters
Our printing businesses are subject to the environmental laws and regulations of the U.S., Canada, Japan and the European Union, as well as state, provincial and local laws and regulations concerning emissions into the air, discharges into waterways and the generation, handling and disposal of waste materials. The commercial printing process generates substantial quantities of inks, solvents and other waste products requiring disposal under the numerous laws and regulations relating to the environment. Our printing businesses typically recycle waste paper and contract for the removal of waste products. We believe we are in material compliance with all applicable air quality, waste disposal and other environmental-related rules and regulations, as well as with other general employee health and safety laws and regulations. We do not anticipate any material future capital expenditures for environmental control facilities. There can be no assurance, however, that future changes in environmental laws and regulations will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
Our consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows can be adversely affected by various risks. These risks include, but are not limited to, the principal factors listed below. You should carefully consider all of these risks.
Fluctuations in the costs of paper, ink, energy, postage and other raw materials may adversely impact us.
Purchases of paper, ink, energy, postage and other raw materials and goods and services represent a large portion of our costs. Any increases in the costs of these items will also increase our costs. Depending on the timing and severity of such increases, we may not always be able to pass these costs on to customers through higher prices. Increases in the costs of these items may also adversely impact our customers demand for printing and related services.
We may be adversely affected by a decline in the availability of raw materials.
We are dependent on the availability of paper, ink, and other raw materials to support our operations. Circumstances outside of our control in these markets could result in a decrease in the supply of paper, ink or other raw materials and could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
We may not be able to improve our operating efficiencies rapidly enough to adapt to current market conditions.
Because the markets in which we compete are highly-competitive, we must continue to improve our operating efficiency in order to maintain or improve our profitability. Although we have been able to improve efficiency and reduce costs in the past, there is no
assurance that we will continue to do so in the future. In addition, the need to reduce ongoing operating costs may result in significant up-front costs to reduce workforce, close or consolidate facilities, or upgrade equipment and technology.
We may be unable to successfully integrate the operations of acquired businesses and may not achieve the cost savings and increased revenues anticipated as a result of these acquisitions.
Achieving the anticipated benefits of acquisitions will depend in part upon our ability to integrate these businesses in an efficient and effective manner. The integration of companies that have previously operated independently may result in significant challenges, and we may be unable to accomplish the integration smoothly or successfully. In particular, the coordination of geographically dispersed organizations with differences in corporate cultures and management philosophies may increase the difficulties of integration. The integration of acquired businesses may also require the dedication of significant management resources, which may temporarily shift senior managements attention from the other day-to-day operations of the Company. Our strategy is, in part, predicated on our ability to realize cost savings and to increase revenues through the acquisition of businesses that add to the breadth and depth of our capabilities and services.
We may be unable to hire and retain talented employees, including senior management.
Our success depends, in part, on our general ability to attract, develop, motivate and retain highly skilled employees. The loss of a significant number of our employees or the inability to attract, hire, develop, train and retain additional skilled personnel could have a material adverse effect on us. Although our operating platform consists of many locations with a wide geographic dispersion, individual locations may encounter strong competition from other employers for skilled labor. In addition, various members of our management team have significant industry experience and a long track record with us that is important to our continued success. If one or more members of our senior management team leave and we cannot replace them with a suitable candidate quickly, we could experience difficulty in managing our business properly, which could harm our business and results of operations.
Costs to provide health care and certain other benefits to our employees may increase.
We generally provide health care and certain other benefits to our employees. In recent years, costs for health care have increased more rapidly than general inflation in the U.S. economy. If this trend in health care costs continues, our cost to provide such benefits could increase, adversely impacting our business and results of operations.
Declines in general economic conditions or acts of war and terrorism may adversely impact our business.
A decline in the U.S. and global economic conditions will most likely affect our results of operations and financial position. A decline in such economic conditions can cause our customers difficulty in obtaining credit to fund their operations. Additionally, many of our direct and indirect customers may delay or reduce their purchases of printed materials. These conditions could adversely affect our revenues, increase price competition and/or increase operating costs, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, we could suffer significant losses if such economic conditions would cause customers whom we have offered certain trade credit to fail or otherwise not have the ability to pay us. A significant write-off of accounts receivable due to uncollectability would also have a negative impact on our financial results. The overall business climate may also be impacted by domestic and foreign wars or acts of terrorism. Such acts may have sudden and unpredictable adverse impacts on demand for our services.
The highly competitive market for our services may create adverse pricing pressures.
The markets for our services are highly fragmented and we have a large number of competitors, resulting in a highly competitive market and increasing risk of adverse pricing pressures in various circumstances outside of our control, including the current economic conditions.
Decline in preference for using or receiving printed materials in lieu of alternative mediums may adversely affect our business.
In addition to traditional non-print based marketing and advertising channels, online distribution and hosting of media content may gain broader acceptance or preferred status relative to printed materials among consumers generally and could have an adverse effect on our business. Consumer acceptance of electronic delivery as well as the extent that consumers may have previously replaced traditional reading of print material with online hosted media contents is uncertain. We have no ability to predict the likelihood that this may occur.
Changes in the laws and regulations to which we are subject may increase our costs.
We are subject to numerous laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, environmental and health and welfare benefit regulations, as well as those associated with being a public company. These rules and regulations may be changed by local, state, provincial, national or foreign governments or agencies. Changes in these regulations may result in a significant increase in our compliance costs. Compliance with changes in rules and regulations could require increases to our workforce, increased cost for services, compensation and benefits, or investments in new or upgraded equipment. In addition, growing concerns about climate change, including the impact of global warming, may result in new regulations with respect to greenhouse gas emissions (including carbon dioxide) and/or cap and trade legislation. Compliance with this legislation could result in additional costs to the Company.
Advances in technology may reduce barriers to entry and may result in increased competition.
Future advances in technology could cause certain cost and logistics barriers to entry in the general commercial printing industry to be reduced or eliminated, which may result in an adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Current cost barriers include the relatively large scale of equipment and real estate required to effectively compete in our industry, while logistics barriers include shipping, customer service and other costs that have historically precluded competitors not having a local presence from competing effectively from outside of a particular market, particularly foreign-based competitors.
We rely on our information technology infrastructure and our management information systems for many enterprise-critical functions. If our information systems fail to adequately perform these functions or if we experience an interruption in their operation, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.
The efficient operation of our business depends on our information technology infrastructure and management information systems. We generally rely on our management information systems to effectively manage accounting and financial functions, job entry, tracking, production, distribution and cost accumulation and certain purchasing functions. Our information technology infrastructure underlies both our management information systems and our technology-based product offerings. The failure of our information technology infrastructure and/or our management information systems to perform could severely disrupt our business and adversely affect our results of operations. In addition, our information technology infrastructure and/or our management information systems are vulnerable to damage or interruption from natural or man-made disasters, terrorist attacks, computer viruses or hackers, power loss, or other computer systems, internet telecommunications or data network failures. Any such interruption could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
We generally do not have long-term customer agreements.
Our customers are typically not contractually obligated to purchase future services from us. Although our business does not depend on any one customer or group or type of customers, we cannot be sure that any particular customer will continue to do business with us for any period of time.
We depend on good labor relations.
If the employees at one or more of our unionized businesses were to engage in a strike or other work stoppage for any reason, including failure to enter into satisfactory collective bargaining agreements with unions, or if other employees were to become unionized, we could experience a disruption of operations, higher labor costs or both, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Currently we are in negotiations with unions at three of our printing businesses and there is no assurance that such negotiations will be successful or result in favorable collective bargaining agreements.
We rely on the ability to borrow cash to make acquisitions, fund capital expenditures and provide working capital to the extent such cash needs exceed our internally generated cash flow. Our failure to comply with financial and other covenant requirements contained in our loan agreements, could limit our ability to borrow cash.
We currently have adequate capacity under our primary bank credit facility as well as other sources of capital to fund our foreseeable cash needs in the event our cash needs exceed our projected internally-generated cash flows. However, adverse changes in general economic conditions or in our financial performance could cause a limitation in the amount of capital available to us, and could result in a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and growth strategies. Limitations in the amount of capital available to us could result from our failure to comply with financial or other covenants contained in our loan agreements or an inability to refinance our debt when it comes due.
A decline in expected profitability of the Company or individual reporting units of the Company could result in the impairment of assets, including goodwill, other long-lived assets and deferred tax assets.
We have a significant amount of goodwill, other long-lived assets and deferred taxes on our balance sheet. Declines in expected profitability could lead to impairment charges related to goodwill, other long-lived assets, or deferred tax assets.
Unfavorable results of legal proceedings could materially adversely affect us.
We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that have arisen out of the ordinary conduct of our business and are not yet resolved and additional claims may arise in the future. Results of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. Regardless of its merit, litigation may be both time-consuming and disruptive to our operations and cause significant expense and diversion of management attention. Publicity resulting from allegations in some of these proceedings may materially affect us. Should we fail to prevail in certain matters, or should several of these matters be resolved against us, we may be faced with significant monetary damages or injunctive relief against us that would materially adversely affect a portion of our business and might materially affect our financial condition and operating results.
We are subject to risks associated with the availability and coverage of insurance.
For certain risks, we do not maintain insurance coverage because of cost and/or availability. Because we retain some portion of our insurable risks, and in some cases self-insure completely, unforeseen or catastrophic losses in excess of insured limits could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results. In addition, disputes may also arise between us and our insurers relating to coverage of certain losses which, if not resolved favorably, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.
Our stock price continues to be volatile.
Our stock has at times experienced substantial price volatility as a result of variations between actual and anticipated financial results, announcements by us and our competitors, or uncertainty about current global economic conditions. The stock market as a whole also has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market price of many public companies in ways that may have been unrelated to these companies operating performance. If we fail to meet any expectations with respect to our operations or profitability, our stock price may decline significantly.
Change in postal rates and regulations may adversely impact demand for our products and services.
Postal costs are a significant cost for many of our customers. Changes in postal rates can influence the number of pieces and types of mailings that our customers mail thereby reducing their demand for our products and services. Any resulting decline in print volumes would have an adverse effect on our business.
We could face significant withdrawal liability if we withdraw from participation in one or more multi-employer pension plans in which we participate.
We participate in various multi-employer pension plans for certain of our union employees covered by collective bargaining agreements. We make periodic contributions to these plans to allow them to meet their pension benefit obligations to their participants. In the ordinary course of renegotiating collective bargaining agreements with labor unions that maintain these plans, we may decide to discontinue participation in a plan. If we withdraw from a plan, the plan will demand that we pay a withdrawal liability as may be required under applicable law. We can choose to pay the withdrawal liability in a lump sum or in quarterly payments. We will record such withdrawal liability, calculated as an amount equal to the present value of future payments required to satisfy such liability, as an expense in our consolidated statement of operations and a liability on our consolidated balance sheet at the time of withdrawal. However, since the withdrawal liability is not fixed until we receive notice of the actual withdrawal liability from the plan administrator, we estimate the withdrawal liability based on the limited information available to us from the plan, which we cannot independently validate. The information setting forth our actual withdrawal liability, which includes the unfunded vested benefits in the plan, contributions of other participants in the plan, and our contributions, is generally not available until the end of the plan year following the year of withdrawal.
Several of our companies have recently withdrawn from multi-employer pension plans and we have recorded an estimated withdrawal liability for such withdrawals, while a few of our companies continue to participate in such plans. The actual withdrawal liability may differ significantly from the estimates we recorded at the time of withdrawal, and any difference will be recorded at the time we receive notice of the actual withdrawal liability from the plan administrator. Some multi-employer plans, including ones in which we participate, are reported to have significant underfunded liabilities. Such underfunding could increase the size of our potential withdrawal liability, and could affect our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we may be subject to additional withdrawal liabilities in the event of a mass withdrawal from any of the plans.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
The Company has no unresolved written comments from the SEC staff regarding its periodic or current reports under the Exchange Act.
As of April 30, 2013, our principal facilities consisted of approximately 6.2 million square feet that contain production, storage and office space, of which approximately 2.6 million square feet is owned and approximately 3.6 million square feet is leased. Certain of the leased facilities, totaling approximately 0.3 million square feet, are leased from former owners and current employees of four of our printing businesses. All other leases are with unaffiliated third parties. We believe our facilities are generally suitable for their present and intended purposes and are adequate for our current level of operations. These facilities are located across 27 states, Toronto, Prague and Gero, Japan.
From time to time, we are involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. We maintain insurance coverage against certain types of potential claims in an amount which we believe to be adequate, but there is no assurance that such coverage will in fact cover, or be sufficient to cover, all potential claims. Currently, we are not aware of any legal proceedings or claims pending against us that our management believes will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations or of any pending administrative or judicial proceedings relating to environmental matters that we are obligated to disclose pursuant to the SECs Regulation S-K, Item 103, Instruction 5.C, other than matters disclosed in our previous filings.

As of April 30, 2013, there were 62 shareholders of record representing approximately 3,718 beneficial owners.
Our Board of Directors previously authorized a $170.0 million share repurchase program. The share repurchase program will expire on September 30, 2013, and enables us to repurchase shares of our common stock in open-market purchases, as well as privately negotiated transactions, pursuant to applicable securities regulations, and subject to the terms of our primary credit facility, market conditions and other factors. Our Board of Directors may modify, suspend, extend or terminate the program at any time. We expect to fund any additional repurchases under such program through cash flow provided by operations or additional borrowings under our primary credit facility. No repurchases were made under this program for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. During the year ended March 31, 2013, we repurchased 689,844 shares of our common stock for a total of $18.9 million. Remaining authorization under the share repurchase program at May 15, 2013 was $79.5 million.
We have not previously paid cash dividends on our common stock. We presently intend to retain all of our earnings to finance the continuing development of our business and repurchase shares of our common stock, and do not presently anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Any future payment of cash dividends will depend upon the financial condition, capital requirements and earnings of our Company, as well as other factors our Board of Directors may deem relevant. In addition, our primary bank credit facility contains restrictions that limit our ability to pay cash dividends.
Information as of March 31, 2013 regarding the Consolidated Graphics, Inc. 1994 Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended, and the Consolidated Graphics, Inc. 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan is incorporated herein by reference to Item 12.

Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our historical consolidated financial statements and their notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors such as those referenced in Forward Looking Statements.
Overview
Our Company is one of North Americas leading general commercial printing and print-related companies, with 70 printing businesses across 27 states, Toronto, Prague, and Gero, Japan. In connection with our traditional print services, we also provide our customers fulfillment and mailing services, digital technology solutions and e-commerce capabilities.
We are focused on adding value to our printing businesses by providing the financial and operational strengths, management support and technological advantages associated with a large, national organization. Our strategy currently includes the following initiatives to generate sales and profit growth:
· Internal Sales Growth We seek to use our competitive advantages to expand market share. We continually seek to hire additional sales professionals, invest in new equipment and technology, expand our strategic accounts program, develop new and expanded digital technology-based print-related services and provide sales training and education about our breadth of capabilities and services to our sales professionals.
· Disciplined Acquisition Program We selectively pursue opportunities to acquire additional printing businesses at reasonable prices. Some of these acquisitions may include smaller and/or distressed printing businesses for integration into one of our existing businesses.
· Cost Savings Because of our size and extensive geographic footprint, we leverage our economies of scale to purchase supplies and equipment at preferential prices, and centralize various administrative services to generate cost savings.
· Best Practices/Benchmarking We provide a forum for our printing businesses to share their knowledge of technical processes and their best practices with one another, as well as benchmark financial and operational data to help our printing businesses identify and respond to changes in operating trends.
· Leadership Development Through our unique Leadership Development Program, we develop talent for future sales and management positions at our printing businesses.
Our printing businesses maintain their own sales, customer service, estimating and planning, prepress, production and accounting departments. Our corporate headquarters staff provides support to our printing businesses in such areas as human resources, purchasing, internal financial controls design and management information systems. We also maintain centralized treasury, risk management, legal, tax, internal audit and consolidated financial reporting activities.
Our sales are derived from providing commercial printing and print-related services. These services consist of (i) traditional print services, including electronic prepress, digital and offset printing, finishing, storage and delivery of high-quality printed documents which are custom manufactured to our customers design specifications; (ii) fulfillment and mailing services for such printed materials; (iii) technology solutions that enable our customers to more efficiently procure and manage printed materials and/or design, procure, distribute, track and analyze results of printing-based marketing programs and activities; and (iv) multi-media capabilities allowing our customers to supplement the message of their printed materials through other media, such as the internet, email, or text messaging. Examples of the types of products we print for our customers include high-quality, multi-color marketing materials, product and capability brochures, point-of-purchase displays, packaging, customized materials for the financial service, insurance, healthcare and similar industries, direct mail pieces, shareholder communications, trading cards, and photo products such as calendars and photo books.
Most of our sales are generated by individual orders through commissioned sales personnel. We predominately recognize revenue from these orders when we deliver the ordered goods and services. To a large extent, continued engagement of our Company by our customers for successive business opportunities depends upon the customers satisfaction with the quality of products and services we provide. As such, it is difficult for us to predict with any high degree of certainty the number, size, and profitability of printing services that we expect to provide for more than a few weeks in advance. Our revenues, however, tend to be strongest in the quarter
ended December and revenues tend to be seasonally weaker in the June quarter. Sales from election-related print business tend to be higher every other year, including years in which national elections are held.
Our cost of sales mainly consists of raw materials consumed in the printing process, as well as labor and subcontracted services, such as delivery costs or third-party finishing services. Paper cost is the most significant component of our materials cost; however, fluctuation in paper pricing generally does not materially impact our operating margins because we typically quote, and subsequently purchase, paper for each specific printing project we are awarded. As a result, changes in paper pricing are typically passed through to customers by our printing businesses. Additionally, our cost of sales includes salary and benefits paid to operating personnel, maintenance, utilities, repair, rental and insurance costs associated with operating our facilities and equipment and depreciation charges.
Our selling expenses generally include the compensation paid to our sales professionals, along with promotional, travel and entertainment costs. Our general and administrative expenses generally include the salary and benefits paid to support personnel at our printing businesses and our corporate staff, including stock-based compensation, as well as office rent, communications expenses, various professional services, depreciation charges and amortization of identifiable intangible assets.

In accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, our consolidated income statements reflect sales and expenses of acquired businesses only for post-acquisition periods. Accordingly, acquisitions affect our financial results in any one year compared to the prior year by the full-year impact of prior year acquisitions (as compared to the partial impact in the prior year) and the partial-year impact of current year acquisitions. This revenue impact is referred to below as the impact of acquisitions. We refer to revenue growth or decline, excluding the effect of revenues contributed by acquisitions and election-related business, in the most recent or prior fiscal year as internal or same-store sales growth or decline.
Analysis of Consolidated Income Statements for Fiscal Year 2013 as Compared to Fiscal Year 2012
Sales for 2013 increased $3.0 million, or .3%, to $1.05 billion. The increase was primarily due to a $30.6 million increase in election-related business, partially offset by a 2.7% decline in same-store sales.
Gross profit for 2013 increased $7.3 million, or 3%, to $243.3 million compared to $236.0 million in 2012 due to higher gross profit margins and, to a lesser extent, higher sales. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales declined from 77.4% in 2012 to 76.8% in the current year. This decrease was primarily caused by labor efficiencies, lower fixed costs, including lower facilities and depreciation expenses as a percentage of sales, lower workers compensation claims expense, offset by a reduction in recycling income primarily caused by lower prices received for waste paper. For these same reasons, gross profit margin (gross profit divided by revenues) increased to 23.2% in 2013 compared to 22.6% in 2012.
Selling expense for 2013 increased $2.2 million, or 2.4%, to $92.9 million from $90.7 million in 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to higher employee compensation expense. As a percentage of sales, selling expenses increased from 8.7% in 2012 to 8.9% in 2013.
General and administrative expenses were $97.5 million, or 9.3% of sales in both 2013 and 2012. Higher salaries and wages, including higher incentive compensation expense, and higher depreciation expense due to investments in technology, were offset by lower technology related professional fees and other smaller declines, compared to the prior year.
A goodwill impairment charge of $0.9 million was recorded for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013.
Other charges of $16.0 million for 2013 included charges related to multi-employer pension plan withdrawals of $11.2 million (including accretion of discount), manufacturing facility relocation expenses of $2.1 million, long-lived asset impairment charges of $1.7 million and other miscellaneous charges of $1.0 million. Other charges of $18.8 million for 2012 included charges related to multi-employer pension plan withdrawals of $16.8 million and long-lived asset impairment charges of $2.0 million.
Other expense includes expenses associated with our foreign subsidiaries, such as foreign currency transaction losses and gains.
Net interest expense for 2013 declined $1.1 million, or 16%, to $5.2 million from $6.3 million in 2012, primarily due to lower outstanding indebtedness. Total debt declined from $163.7 million at March 31, 2012 to $123.7 million at March 31, 2013.
Income tax expense for 2013 was $8.3 million, reflecting an overall effective income tax rate of 27.1% as compared to an effective tax rate of 31.1% in fiscal 2012. The 2013 rate was lower primarily due to a lower state income tax rate and a greater income tax benefit for the IRC 199 domestic production deduction.
Analysis of Consolidated Income Statements for Fiscal Year 2012 as Compared to Fiscal Year 2011
Sales for 2012 declined $8.8 million, or 1%, to $1.05 billion. The decline in sales was due to a 1.4% decline in same-store sales, and a decline in election-related business, partially offset by impact of acquisitions.
Gross profit for 2012 declined by $15.6 million, or 6.2%, to $236.0 million from $251.7 million in 2011 due to lower sales and lower gross profit margins. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales increased from 76.1% to 77.4%. This increase was caused by a less favorable selling price environment and higher fixed cost of sales as a percentage of sales including an increase in facilities costs and depreciation expense, primarily due to technology investments. For these same reasons, gross profit margin declined from 23.9% in 2011 to 22.6% in 2012.
Selling expense for 2012 declined $0.9 million, or 1%, to $90.7 million from $91.6 million in 2011. The decrease was attributable to lower sales commissions resulting from lower sales. As a percentage of sales, selling expenses were 8.7% in both years.
General and administrative expenses for 2012 increased $8.7 million, or 9.8%, to $97.5 million from $88.8 million in 2011. This increase primarily resulted from higher employee costs, and higher depreciation expenses. Both these increases related primarily to technology investments. As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses increased to 9.3% in fiscal 2012 compared to 8.4% in fiscal 2011.
A goodwill impairment charge of $2.0 million was recorded for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.
Other charges of $18.8 million for 2012 included charges related to multi-employer pension plan withdrawals of $16.8 million and long-lived asset impairment charges of $2.0 million. Other charges for 2011 included a $5.7 million gain resulting from the settlement of litigation for an amount lower than previously recognized, partially offset by a $1.0 million charge for the cost of withdrawing from a multi-employer pension plan, $1.0 million in manufacturing facility relocation expenses, and $1.8 million of other miscellaneous charges including asset impairments.
Other expense and other income consists of foreign currency transaction losses and gains resulting from certain transactions of our Canadian and Czech Republic subsidiaries.
Net interest expense for 2012 declined $1.4 million, or 18%, to $6.3 million from $7.7 million in 2011, due to lower interest rates on fixed rate debt. Total debt declined from $170.1 million at March 31, 2011 to $163.7 million at March 31, 2012.
Income tax expense for 2012 was $6.4 million, reflecting an overall effective income tax rate of 31.1% as compared to an effective tax rate of 36.6% in fiscal 2011. In fiscal 2012, the effects of credits related to income tax uncertainties, due to the expiration of certain statutes of limitations, had a larger impact on the effective income tax rate due to lower pre-tax book income.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources and Uses of Cash
Our historical sources of cash have primarily been cash provided by operations and borrowings under our various bank credit facilities. Our historical uses of cash have been for acquisitions of printing businesses, capital expenditures, payment of principal and interest on outstanding debt obligations, repurchases of our common stock and for working capital requirements. Various components of our statement of cash flows are as follows and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated statements of cash flows and the notes thereto included in Item 8.

Net cash provided by operating activities declined $8.0 million for fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012. This decrease was due primarily to the increase in net income offset by an increase in various working capital accounts and a decrease in deferred income taxes.
We believe that our cash flow provided by operations, combined with new borrowings, will be adequate to cover our fiscal 2014 working capital needs, debt service requirements, common share repurchase program, and planned capital expenditures, including acquisitions of printing businesses.
We intend to continue pursuing acquisition opportunities at prices we believe are reasonable based upon prevailing market conditions. However, we cannot accurately predict the timing, size and success of our acquisition efforts or our associated potential capital commitments. There can be no assurance that we will be able to acquire additional printing businesses on terms acceptable to us. We expect to fund future acquisitions through cash flow provided by operations and/or additional borrowings under our primary bank credit facility. We have, however, in the past issued our common stock as purchase price consideration in some of our acquisitions and may do so again in the future.
Our Board of Directors previously authorized a $170.0 million share repurchase program. The share repurchase program will expire on September 30, 2013, and enables us to repurchase shares of our common stock in open-market purchases, as well as privately negotiated transactions, pursuant to applicable securities regulations, and subject to the terms of our primary credit facility, market conditions and other factors. Our Board of Directors may modify, suspend, extend or terminate the program at any time. We expect to fund any additional repurchases under such program through cash flow provided by operations or additional borrowings under our primary credit facility. During the year ended March 31, 2013, we repurchased 689,844 shares of our common stock for a total cost of $18.9 million. Remaining authorization under the share repurchase program at May 15, 2013 was $79.5 million.

Operating leases We have entered into various noncancelable operating leases primarily related to facilities and equipment used in the ordinary course of our business.
Letters of credit We had letters of credit outstanding as of March 31, 2013 totaling $3.6 million. All of these letters of credit were issued pursuant to the terms of our primary bank facility, which expires June 8, 2017.
Insurance programs We maintain third-party insurance coverage in amounts and against risks we believe are reasonable under our circumstances. We are self-insured for most workers compensation claims and for a significant component of our group health insurance programs. For these exposures, we accrue expected loss amounts which are determined using a combination of our historical loss experience and subjective assessment of the future costs of incurred losses, together with advice provided by administrators and consulting actuaries. The estimates of expected loss amounts are subject to uncertainties arising from various sources, including changes in claims reporting patterns, claims settlement patterns, judicial decisions, legislation and economic conditions, which could result in an increase or decrease in accrued costs in future periods for claim matters which occurred in a prior period. Although we believe that the accrued loss estimates are reasonable, significant differences related to the items noted above could materially affect our risk exposure, insurance coverage, and future expense.
Critical Accounting Policies
We have identified our critical accounting policies based on the following factors significance to our overall financial statement presentation, complexity of the policy and its use of estimates and assumptions. We are required to make certain estimates and assumptions in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and rely on historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances to determine such estimates. Because uncertainties with respect to estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of financial statements, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition We primarily recognize revenue upon delivery of the printed product to the customer. In the case of customer fulfillment arrangements, including multiple deliverables of printing services and distribution services, revenue relating to the printed product is recognized upon the delivery of the printed product into our fulfillment warehouses, and invoicing of the customer for the product at an agreed price. Revenue from distribution services is recognized when the services are provided. Because printed products manufactured for our customers are customized based upon the customers specifications, product returns are insignificant. Revenue is recognized net of sales taxes.
Receivables, net of valuation allowance Accounts receivable at March 31, 2013 were $164.6 million, net of a $3.3 million allowance for doubtful accounts. The valuation allowance was determined based upon our evaluation of aging of receivables, historical experience and the current economic environment. While we believe we have appropriately considered known or expected outcomes, our customers ability to pay their obligations could be adversely affected by a contraction in the U.S. economy or other factors beyond our control. Changes in our estimates of collectability could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
Impairment of Goodwill We evaluate the carrying value of our goodwill as of each fiscal year end, or at any time that management becomes aware of an indication of potential impairment. Under the applicable accounting standards, we first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of the events or circumstances, we determine it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then we are required to perform the first step of the two-step impairment test. In the first step, we determine fair value for each reporting unit using trailing twelve months earnings before interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), multiplied by managements estimate of an appropriate enterprise value-to-EBITDA multiple for each reporting unit, adjusted for a control premium. Managements total Company enterprise value-to-EBITDA multiple is based upon the multiple derived from using the market capitalization of the Companys common stock on or around the applicable balance sheet date, after considering an appropriate control premium (25% at March 31, 2013, based upon historical transactions in the printing industry). This total Company enterprise value-to-EBITDA multiple is then used as a starting point in determining the appropriate multiple for each reporting unit. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit, we must perform a second step to measure the amount of impairment. This second step involves estimating the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible assets and determining an implied value of goodwill. To the extent the implied value of goodwill is less than the carrying value of goodwill for a particular reporting unit, we are required to record an impairment charge. The process of determining the fair values of assets and liabilities can involve a considerable degree of estimation.
Impairment of long-lived assets We evaluate long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets (other than goodwill) whenever events or changes in conditions indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The evaluation requires us to estimate future undiscounted cash flows associated with an asset or group of assets. If the cost of the asset or group of assets cannot be recovered by these undiscounted cash flows, then the need for impairment exists. Estimating future cash flows requires judgments regarding future economic conditions, demand for services and pricing. Although we believe our estimates are reasonable, significant differences in the actual performance of the asset or group of assets may materially affect our asset values and require an impairment charge in future periods.
Multi-Employer Pension Plans We participate in multi-employer pension plans for certain of our employees covered by union agreements. Amounts expensed in the financial statements equal the regular contributions made to pension plans during the year. In addition to regular contributions, we could be obligated to pay additional amounts, known as a withdrawal liability, if a multi-employer pension plan has unfunded vested benefits and we decrease or cease participation in the plan. Our subsidiaries have in the past withdrawn from certain multi-employer pension plans. Upon withdrawing from a plan, we record an estimated liability equal to the present value of estimated required future withdrawal payments. The estimated withdrawal liability will be adjusted upon receipt of notice from the pension plan of the actual withdrawal liability and required withdrawal payments.
Insurance liabilities We are self-insured for the majority of our workers compensation and group health insurance costs. Insurance claims liabilities have been accrued using a combination of our historical loss experience and subjective assessment of the future costs of incurred losses, together with advice provided by administrators and consulting actuaries. The estimates of expected loss amounts are subject to uncertainties arising from various sources, including changes in claims reporting patterns, claims settlement patterns, judicial decisions, legislation and economic conditions, which could result in an increase or decrease in accrued costs in future periods for claims matters which occurred in a prior period.
Accounting for income taxes As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our income taxes. This process involves estimating our actual current tax exposure, together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and financial reporting purposes. The tax effects of these temporary differences are recorded as deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. We must then assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, and to the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, we must establish a valuation allowance. Significant judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets. Additionally, to account for uncertain tax positions we use a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Although we believe our estimates are reasonable, the final outcome of uncertain tax positions may be different from that which is reflected in our consolidated financial statements.
Accounting for acquisitions The allocations of purchase price to acquired assets and liabilities are initially based on estimates of fair value and are revised if and when additional information concerning certain asset and liability valuations we are waiting for at the time of the initial allocations is obtained, provided that such information is received no later than one year after the date of acquisition. In addition, when appropriate, we retain an independent third-party valuation firm to assist in the identification, valuation and determination of useful lives of identifiable intangible assets in connection with our acquisitions.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
Market risk generally means the risk that losses may occur in the value of certain financial instruments as a result of movements in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. We do not currently hold or utilize derivative financial instruments to manage market risk or that could expose us to other market risk. We are exposed to market risk in interest rates related primarily to our debt obligations, which as of March 31, 2013, include $49.9 million of fixed rate debt and $73.8 million of variable rate debt. A 1.0% increase in the interest rate on our variable rate debt would change our interest expense by approximately $.7 million on an annual basis. The following table sets forth the average interest rate for the scheduled maturities of our debt obligations as of March 31, 2013 ($ in millions):

INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MANAGEMENTS ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of Consolidated Graphics, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (the Company); (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Companys assets that could have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control Integrated Framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2013. The Companys internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2013 has been audited by KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, which issued an attestation report that is included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of March 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated income statements, statements of comprehensive income, statements of shareholders equity, and statements of cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 2013, and our report dated May 28, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except share and per share data and percentages)
1. BUSINESS
Consolidated Graphics, Inc. (collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, referred to herein as the Company) is a provider of commercial printing and print-related services with 70 printing businesses across 27 states, Toronto, Prague, and Gero, Japan.
The Companys printing businesses maintain their own sales, customer service, estimating and planning, prepress, production and accounting departments. The Companys corporate headquarters staff provides support to its printing businesses in such areas as human resources, purchasing, internal financial controls design and management information systems. The Company also maintains centralized treasury, risk management, legal, tax, internal audit and consolidated financial reporting activities.
The Companys sales are derived from providing commercial printing and print-related services. These services consist of (i) traditional print services, including electronic prepress, digital and offset printing, finishing, storage and delivery of high-quality printed documents which are custom manufactured to its customers design specifications; (ii) fulfillment and mailing services for such printed materials; (iii) technology solutions that enable its customers to more efficiently procure and manage printed materials and/or design, procure, distribute, track and analyze results of printing-based marketing programs and activities; and (iv) multi-media capabilities allowing its customers to supplement the message of their printed materials through other media, such as the internet, email, or text messaging.
The scope and extent of services provided to the Companys customers typically varies for each individual order it receives, depending on customer-specific factors including the intended uses for the printed materials. Furthermore, each of the Companys locations generally is capable of providing a complete range of services to its customers. Accordingly, the Company does not operate its business in a manner that differentiates among its respective capabilities and services for financial or management reporting purposes, rather each of its printing businesses is defined as a distinct reporting unit.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OTHER INFORMATION
Accounting Policies
The accounting policies of the Company reflect industry practices and conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The more significant of such accounting policies are described below.
Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Companys operations constitute one reportable segment because all of its printing businesses operate in the commercial printing industry and exhibit similar economic characteristics.
Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of certain estimates and assumptions by management in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including depreciation of property and equipment and amortization or impairment of intangible assets. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and relies on historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances to determine such estimates. Because uncertainties with respect to estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of financial statements, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Reclassification and Other Corrections Certain reclassifications of prior period data have been made to conform to the current period reporting. Additionally, the Company has corrected deferred tax accounts in the March 31, 2012 consolidated balance sheet to reflect deferred taxes associated with a multi-employer pension withdrawal accrual as noncurrent. This resulted in a reduction of the current deferred tax asset and non-current deferred tax liability in the amount of $6,789.
Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Pursuant to the Companys cash management system, the Company deposits cash into its bank accounts as checks written by the Company are presented to the bank for payment. Checks issued by the Company but not presented to the bank for payment are included in accounts payable and totaled $38,140 as of March 31, 2013 and $42,993 as of March 31, 2012.
Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable The Company primarily recognizes revenue upon delivery of the printed product to the customer. In the case of customer fulfillment arrangements, including multiple deliverables of printing services and distribution services, revenue relating to the printed product is recognized upon the delivery of the printed product into the Companys fulfillment warehouses, and invoicing of the customer for the product at an agreed price. Revenue from distribution services is recognized when the services are provided. Because printed products manufactured for the Companys customers are customized based upon the customers specifications, product returns are not significant. Revenue is recognized net of sales taxes. The Company derives the majority of its revenues from sales and services to a broad and diverse group of customers with no individual customer

accounting for more than 7% of the Companys revenues in any of the years ended March 31, 2013, 2012 or 2011. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon its evaluation of aging of receivables, historical experience and the current economic environment. Accounts receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are reflected net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $3,323 and $3,246 at March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market utilizing the first-in, first-out method for raw materials and the specific identification method for work in progress and finished goods. Raw materials consist of paper, ink, proofing materials, plates, boxes and other general supplies. Inventory values include the cost of purchased raw materials, labor and overhead costs. The carrying values of inventories are set forth below:

Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets Goodwill totaled $23,870 at March 31, 2013 and represents the excess of the Companys purchase cost over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired, net of previously recorded amortization and impairment charges. Each of the Companys printing businesses is separately evaluated for goodwill impairment because they comprise individual reporting units. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at the end of each fiscal year, or at any time that management becomes aware of an indication of impairment.
The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08 Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing for Impairment (ASU 2011-08), which permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of the events or circumstances, an entity determines it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the entity is required to perform the first step of the two-step impairment test. The first step, used to identify potential impairment, involves comparing each reporting units estimated fair value to its carrying value including goodwill. The Company estimates the fair value for each reporting unit using trailing twelve months earnings before interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) multiplied by managements estimate of an appropriate enterprise value-to-EBITDA multiple for each reporting unit, adjusted for a control premium. Managements total Company enterprise value-to-EBITDA multiple is based upon the multiple derived from using the market capitalization of the Companys common stock on or around the applicable balance sheet date, after considering an appropriate control premium (25% at March 31, 2013, based upon historical transactions in the printing industry). If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, applicable goodwill is considered not to be impaired. If the carrying value exceeds fair value, there is an indication of impairment and the second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment. The second step involves calculating an implied fair value of goodwill for each reporting unit for which the first step indicated potential impairment. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination, which is the excess of the fair value of the reporting unit, as determined in the first step, over the aggregate fair values of the individual assets, liabilities and identifiable intangible assets as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination. If the implied fair value of goodwill in the proforma business combination accounting described above exceeds the goodwill assigned to the reporting unit, there is no impairment. If the goodwill assigned to a reporting unit exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill, an impairment charge is recorded for the excess. A recognized impairment loss cannot exceed the amount of goodwill assigned to a reporting unit, and the loss establishes a new basis in the goodwill. Subsequent reversal of goodwill impairment losses is not permitted. The Company recognized a non-cash, pre-tax impairment charge to its goodwill in the amount of $949 for the year ended March 31, 2013 and $1,984 for the year ended March 31, 2012. Tax benefits totaling $370 in fiscal 2013 and $774 in fiscal 2012 were recorded in connection with these impairments.

The Company compares the carrying value of long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (other than goodwill), to projections of future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets whenever events or changes in conditions indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. In the event that the carrying value of any long-lived asset exceeds the projection of future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such asset, the Company records an impairment charge against income equal to the excess, if any, of the carrying value over the assets fair value. The Company recorded impairments of $1,896, $2,016 and $1,205 in fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, which are included in other charges in the consolidated income statements.
The net book value of other intangible assets at March 31, 2013 was $11,936. Other intangible assets consist primarily of the value assigned to such items as customer lists and trade names in connection with the allocation of purchase price for acquisitions and are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over periods of between 5 and 25 years. Such assets are evaluated for recoverability with other long-lived assets as discussed above. Amortization expense totaled $3,586, $3,593 and $3,574 in fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Companys future amortization expense by fiscal year is as follows:

(1) Other accrued liabilities include accrued self-insurance claims for certain insurance programs. None of the individual items in other accrued liabilities at March 31, 2013 and 2012 were individually greater than 5% of total current liabilities in those years.
Income Taxes The provision for income taxes includes federal, state and foreign income taxes which are currently payable or deferred based on current tax laws. Deferred income taxes are provided for the tax consequences of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. The Company reduces deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance when, based on its estimates, it is more likely than not that a portion of those assets will not be realized in a future period. The Company is subject to audit by taxing authorities and these audits occasionally result in proposed assessments which may result in additional tax liabilities and, in some cases, interest and penalties. The Company recognizes a tax position in its financial statements when it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The recognized tax position is then measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company has a reserve for unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions. The Company adjusts the reserve upon changes in circumstances that would cause a change to the estimate of the ultimate liability, upon effective settlement, or upon the expiration of the statute of

limitations relating to such tax positions, in the period in which such event occurs. Although we believe our estimates are reasonable, the final outcome of uncertain tax positions may be different from that which is reflected in the financial statements.
Multi-Employer Pension Plans The Company participates in multi-employer pension plans for certain of its employees covered by union agreements. Amounts expensed in the financial statements equal the regular contributions made to pension plans during the year. In addition to regular contributions, the Company could be obligated to pay additional amounts, known as a withdrawal liability, if a multi-employer pension plan has unfunded vested benefits and the Company decreases or ceases participation in the plan. The Companys subsidiaries have in the past withdrawn from certain multi-employer pension plans. Upon withdrawing from a plan, the Company records an estimated liability equal to the present value of estimated required future withdrawal payments. The estimated withdrawal liability will be adjusted upon receipt of notice from the pension plan of the actual withdrawal liability and required withdrawal payments.
Supplemental Cash Flow Information The consolidated statements of cash flows provide information about the Companys sources and uses of cash and exclude the effects of non-cash transactions. The Company paid cash for interest totaling $5,321, $6,389 and $7,797 for the years ended March 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company paid cash for income taxes, net of refunds, totaling $13,915, $2,857 and $17,521 for the years ended March 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflect net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares, dilutive stock options and restricted stock unit awards outstanding using the treasury stock method. Earnings per share are set forth below:

Diluted net earnings per share take into consideration the dilutive effect of certain unvested restricted stock unit awards and unexercised stock options. For the years ended March 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, options to purchase 1,023,500, 866,300 and 881,341 shares of common stock, respectively, were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted net earnings per share because inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Companys financial instruments consist of cash, trade receivables, trade payables and debt obligations. The Company does not currently hold or issue derivative financial instruments. The Company believes that the recorded values of its variable rate debt obligations, which totaled $73,793 and $96,793 at March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, approximated their fair values. The Company believes that the recorded values of its fixed rate debt obligations, which totaled $49,891 and $66,953 at March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, approximated their fair values. Our debt obligations are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy and are valued utilizing estimated interest rates for the same or similar debt offered to the Company having the same or similar maturities and collateral requirements.
Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily trade accounts receivable. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are limited because the Companys printing businesses provide services to a large, diverse group of customers in various geographical regions. Management performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral for extensions of credit. The Companys cash deposits are held with large, well-known financial institutions.
Share-Based Compensation The Company accounts for share-based compensation by measuring the cost of the employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including grants of stock options and restricted stock unit awards, based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant. In addition, to the extent that the Company receives an excess tax benefit upon exercise of an award, such benefit is reflected as cash flow from financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

In June 2012, the Company amended its existing primary secured credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) to, among other things, extend the maturity date from October 6, 2014 to June 8, 2017. The Credit Agreement currently provides up to $285,000 in revolving credit and contains an accordion feature that could, under prescribed conditions, increase the facility by $100,000 to $385,000. At March 31, 2013, outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement were $70,000 and accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 1.7%.
Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the proceeds from borrowings may be used to repay certain indebtedness, finance certain acquisitions, provide for working capital and general corporate purposes and, subject to certain restrictions, repurchase the Companys common stock. In order to repurchase Company common stock under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company must (1) demonstrate compliance on a proforma basis, giving effect to such repurchase with the financial covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement, and (2) have a Leverage Ratio (Debt divided by EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Agreement) not exceeding 2.75 to 1.00 on a proforma basis after giving effect to such repurchase. Borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Companys assets other than real estate and certain equipment subject to term equipment notes and other financings. The collateral also secures, on a pari passu basis, the obligations under the A&B Credit Facility and the Auxiliary Bank Facilities described below. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement accrue interest, at the Companys option, at either LIBOR plus a margin of 1.25% to 2.25%, or an alternate base rate (based upon the greater of (i) the administrative agent banks prime lending rate, (ii) the sum of the LIBOR rate for a one-month interest period plus 1.50% or (iii) the sum of the Federal Funds effective rate plus .5% per annum) plus a margin of 0% to .75%. The Company is also required to pay an annual commitment fee ranging from .25% to .375% on available but unused amounts under the Credit Agreement. The interest rate margin and the commitment fee are based upon certain financial performance measures set forth in the Credit Agreement and are redetermined quarterly. At March 31, 2013, the applicable margin on LIBOR based loans was 1.5%, the applicable margin on alternative base rate loans was 0% and the applicable commitment fee was .25% on unused amounts.
The Company is subject to certain covenants and restrictions, including limitations on additional indebtedness it may incur in the future, and must meet certain financial tests under the Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with such covenants, restrictions and financial tests at March 31, 2013. In the event the Company is unable to remain in compliance with the Credit Agreement covenants and financial tests contained in the Credit Agreement in the future, the Companys lenders would have the right to declare it in default with respect to such obligations, and consequently, certain of our other debt obligations, including substantially all our term equipment notes, would be deemed to also be in default. All debt obligations in default would be required to be reclassified as a current liability. In the event the Company was unable to obtain a waiver from its lenders or renegotiate or refinance these obligations, a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to conduct its operations in the ordinary course would likely result.
The Company also maintains a secured credit facility (the A&B Credit Facility) which provides revolving credit for its Canadian subsidiary, Annan & Bird Lithographers, Inc., available for both U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar loans not to exceed in the aggregate $25,000 (U.S. equivalent). The A&B Credit Facility expires in June 2017. At March 31, 2013, outstanding borrowings were $1,473 (U.S. equivalent) which accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 2.8%. The A&B Credit Facility contains many of the same covenants and restrictions contained in the Credit Agreement. Additionally, a default by the Company under the Credit Agreement constitutes a default under the A&B Credit Facility and vice-versa.
In addition, the Company maintains two auxiliary revolving credit facilities (each an Auxiliary Bank Facility and collectively the Auxiliary Bank Facilities). Each Auxiliary Bank Facility is secured and has a maximum borrowing capacity of $5,000. One facility expires in December 2013 while the other facility expires in October 2014. At March 31, 2013, outstanding borrowings under the Auxiliary Bank Facilities totaled $2,320 and accrued interest at a weighted average rate of 2.0%. Because the Company currently has the ability and intent to refinance borrowings outstanding under the Auxiliary Bank Facility expiring in December 2013, such

borrowings are classified as long-term debt in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2013. The Auxiliary Bank Facilities cross-default to the events of default set forth in the Credit Agreement.
At March 31, 2013, outstanding borrowings under term equipment notes totaled $47,875 and carried interest rates between 2.8% and 4.1%. The term equipment notes provide for principal payments plus interest for defined periods of up to seven years from the date of issuance, and are secured by certain equipment of the Company. The Company is not subject to any significant financial covenants in connection with any of the term equipment notes. Most of the term equipment notes cross-default to the events of default set forth in the Credit Agreement.
At March 31, 2013, other debt obligations totaled $2,016 and provided for principal payments plus interest (fixed and variable rates) for defined periods up to 16 years from the date of issuance. The Company does not have any significant financial covenants or restrictions associated with these other debt obligations.
As of March 31, 2013, the Companys available credit under existing credit facilities was $242,648.
The principal payment requirements by fiscal year under the Companys debt obligations referenced above are:

At March 31, 2013 and 2012, a current income tax receivable of $4,600 and $4,749 was included in prepaid expenses, primarily relating to federal, state and foreign overpayments for 2013 and federal and state overpayments for 2012.
Deferred income taxes reflect the future tax consequences of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts as measured based on enacted tax laws and regulations. As of March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had tax benefits relating to various state net operating losses and other tax credit carryforwards, net of federal benefit, of $4,470 and $3,625. The losses and credits expire in years 2013 through 2032. The Company records a valuation allowance, when appropriate, to adjust deferred tax asset balances to the amount the Company expects to realize. The Company considers the history of taxable income and expectations of future taxable income, among other factors, in assessing the potential need for a valuation allowance. As of March 31, 2013 and 2012, a valuation allowance of ($3,424) and ($2,538) was recorded related to certain deferred tax assets.
Deferred U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding taxes are not provided on the excess of the investment value for financial reporting over the tax basis of investments in foreign subsidiaries, because such excess is considered to be permanently reinvested in those operations. If earnings were repatriated, the Company would need to accrue and pay taxes. The Company has no current intention of repatriating earnings. At March 31, 2013, approximately $5,783 of U.S. taxes and foreign withholding taxes would be due if the aggregate unremitted earnings of $41,547 were distributed.
The components of deferred income tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

(2) These deferred tax liabilities are current in nature and therefore netted against current deferred income tax assets for presentation in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
As of March 31, 2013, the balance of unrecognized tax benefits was $11,155. Of the unrecognized tax benefits at March 31, 2013, $10,544, if recognized, would decrease the Companys effective income tax rate and increase net income. The unrecognized tax benefits relate to certain tax deductions claimed on federal and state tax returns for which the ultimate outcome is uncertain.
In the year ended March 31, 2013, the reserve for unrecognized tax benefits declined $1,135. This decrease primarily relates to deductions claimed on the federal and state tax returns for which the ultimate outcome is uncertain, which was offset by reserve releases due to the expiration of various statutes of limitations The Company recognized a $2,734 net decrease in tax expense due to a portion of the change in the reserve during the year ended March 31, 2013.
The Companys federal income tax returns for the tax years 2009 and after remain subject to examination. The Company is currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service for tax years 2009 and 2010. The various states in which the Company is subject to income tax are generally open for the tax years after 2008.
The Company classifies interest expense and any related penalties related to income tax uncertainties as a component of income tax expense. For the year-ended March 31, 2013, the Company recognized an increase in interest expense of $264. Accrued interest and penalties of $1,562 and $1,826 relate to income tax uncertainties that were recognized as a component of other noncurrent liabilities at March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively.
The Companys unrecognized tax benefit activity for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, was as follows:

Letters of Credit The Company had letters of credit outstanding as of March 31, 2013 totaling $3,584. All of these letters of credit were issued pursuant to the terms of the Companys Credit Agreement, which expires June 8, 2017.
Insurance Programs The Company maintains third-party insurance coverage in amounts and against risks it believes are reasonable in its circumstances. The Company is self-insured for most workers compensation claims and for a significant component of its group health insurance programs. For these exposures, the Company accrues expected loss amounts which are determined using a combination of its historical loss experience and subjective assessment of the future costs of incurred losses, together with advice
CONSOLIDATED GRAPHICS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except share and per share data and percentages)
provided by administrators and consulting actuaries. The estimates of expected loss amounts are subject to uncertainties arising from various sources, including changes in claims reporting patterns, claims settlement patterns, judicial decisions, legislation and economic conditions, which could result in an increase or decrease in accrued costs in future periods for claim matters which occurred in a prior period. Although the Company believes that the accrued loss estimates are reasonable, significant differences related to the items noted above could materially affect our risk exposure, insurance coverage and future expense.
Legal Matters From time to time, the Company is involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of its operations in the normal course of business. The Company maintains insurance coverage against certain types of potential claims in an amount which it believes to be adequate, but there is no assurance that such coverage will in fact cover, or be sufficient to cover, all potential claims. Currently, the Company is not aware of any legal proceedings or claims pending against it that its management believes will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
Tax Matters The Company is subject to examination by tax authorities for varying periods in various taxing jurisdictions. During the course of such examinations disputes occur as to matters of fact and/or law. Also, in most taxing jurisdictions, the passage of time without examination will result in the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations thereby precluding the taxing authority from conducting an examination of the tax period for which such statute of limitation has expired. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for its tax liabilities.
8. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Pursuant to the Consolidated Graphics, Inc. 1994 Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amended, the 1994 Plan), employees of the Company and members of the Companys Board of Directors have been, or may be, granted options to purchase shares of the Companys common stock, restricted stock unit awards or other forms of equity-based compensation. Options granted pursuant to the 1994 Plan include incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and non-qualified stock options. Options previously granted under the 1994 Plan were at a strike price not less than the market price of the stock at the date of grant and periodically vest over a fixed period of up to ten years. Unvested options generally are cancelled on termination of employment and vested options generally expire shortly after termination of employment. Otherwise, options expire after final vesting at the end of a fixed period generally not in excess of an additional five years. At March 31, 2013, a total of 1,473,668 common shares were reserved for issuance pursuant to the 1994 Plan, of which 58,001 shares of the Companys common stock were available for future grants. Of the 58,001 shares available for future grants, 37,500 shares may be granted as restricted stock unit awards.
At the 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Companys shareholders voted to adopt the Consolidated Graphics, Inc. 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the 2012 Plan). The 2012 Plan provides for a total of 350,000 common shares. At March 31, 2013 no options to purchase shares of the Companys common stock or other forms of equity-based compensation were granted pursuant to the 2012 Plan.
The following table sets forth stock option and restricted stock unit award transactions under the 1994 Plan in terms of underlying shares of the Companys common stock:

average exercise price of shares granted, exercised and outstanding is based solely on stock option grants and exercises and excludes the restricted stock unit awards which have no exercise price component.
The total fair value of options and restricted stock unit awards which vested was $4,293, $4,470 and $4,291 for the years ended March 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of options and restricted stock unit awards outstanding was $4,207, $7,690 and $18,708 for the years ended March 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The risk-free interest rate represents the U.S. Treasury Bond constant maturity yield approximating the expected option life of stock options granted during the period. The expected option life represents the period of time that the stock options granted during the period are expected to be outstanding, generally based on the mid-point between the vesting date and contractual expiration date of each option. The expected volatility is based on the historical market price volatility of the Companys common stock.

The Company accounts for share-based compensation by measuring the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including grants of stock options and restricted stock unit awards, based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes model. Restricted stock unit awards are valued at the closing stock price on the date of grant.
For the year ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded $2,325 of share-based compensation expense. The after-tax impact to net income was $1,418, and the impact to both basic and diluted earnings per share was $.14 in fiscal 2013. The Company recorded $2,650 of share-based compensation expense for the year ended March 31, 2012. The after-tax impact to net income was $1,617, and the impact to both basic and diluted earnings per share was $.15 in fiscal 2012. The Company recorded $3,307 of share-based compensation expense for the year ended March 31, 2011. The after-tax impact to net income was $2,017, and the impact to basic earnings per share was $.18 and diluted earnings per share was $.17 in fiscal 2011.
As of March 31, 2013, $5,009 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options was expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years.

9. MULTI-EMPLOYER PENSION PLANS
The Company participates in multi-employer pension plans for certain of its union employees covered by collective bargaining agreements. Amounts expensed in the financial statements equal the regular contributions made to the pension plans during the year. Total regular contributions to the multi-employer pension plans were $323 in fiscal 2013, $446 in fiscal 2012, and $771 in fiscal 2011.
In addition to regular contributions, the Company could be obligated to pay additional amounts, known as a withdrawal liability, if a multi-employer pension plan has unfunded vested benefits and the Company decreases or ceases participation in the plan. In fiscal 2013 and 2012, the Company accrued $10,321 and $16,769, respectively, for the present value of the liabilities for withdrawing from certain multi-employer pension plans. During fiscal 2013, the Company completely withdrew from the only multi-employer pension plan considered to be individually significant for the Company. The accrued pension liability as of March 31, 2013 and March 2012, respectively, was $28,174 and $18,073. The final calculation of the withdrawal liability is pending finalization of certain plan year related data and is therefore subject to adjustment.
10. SUPPLEMENTAL SELECTED UNAUDITED QUARTERLY FINANCIAL DATA
The following table contains selected unaudited quarterly financial data from the unaudited consolidated income statements for each quarter of fiscal 2013 and 2012. The Company believes this information reflects all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the information for the periods presented. The operating results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for any future period. Earnings per share are computed independently for each of the quarters presented; therefore, the sum of the quarterly earnings per share may not equal annual earnings per share.

The Companys management, with the participation of the Companys Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial and Accounting Officer (CFO), has evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Companys CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Exhibit 10.6
CONSOLIDATED GRAPHICS, INC.
INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
This Agreement (the Agreement) is made and entered into by and between Consolidated Graphics, Inc., a Texas corporation (the Corporation), and the undersigned individual (Indemnitee).
R E C I T A L S:
A. Highly competent persons are becoming more reluctant to serve corporations as directors, executive officers or in other capacities unless they are provided with adequate protection through insurance or adequate indemnification against inordinate risks of claims and actions against them arising out of their service to and activities on behalf of the Corporation.
B. The Board of Directors of the Corporation (the Board) has determined that the inability to attract and retain such persons would be detrimental to the best interests of the Corporation and its shareholders and that the Corporation should act to assure such persons that there will be increased certainty of such protection in the future.
C. The Board has also determined that it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Corporation to contractually obligate itself to indemnify the current and future directors and certain executive officers to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as an inducement for such individuals to serve or continue to serve the Corporation free from undue concern that they will not be so indemnified, and the Corporation acknowledges that the Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement as a condition to serving in such capacities.
D. Indemnitee is a director or executive officer of the Corporation and is willing to continue to serve the Corporation on the condition that Indemnitee be so indemnified.
In consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties agree as follows:

Indemnitee and the Corporation each acknowledge that they have entered into this Agreement as a means of inducing Indemnitee to serve the Corporation in such capacities, and the Corporation acknowledges that the Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement as a condition to serving in such capacities. Indemnitee may at any time and for any reason resign from such position or positions (subject to any other contractual obligation or any obligation imposed by operation of law). The Corporation shall have no obligation under this Agreement to continue Indemnitee in any such position or positions.
ARTICLE 3.
INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION
Section 3.1 General. The Corporation shall indemnify, and advance Expenses to, Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in effect on the date hereof and to such greater extent as applicable law may thereafter from time to time permit, without regard to when the event, circumstance, action or claim giving rise to a right of indemnification hereunder arose, whether before or after the Effective Date of this Agreement. The rights of Indemnitee provided under the preceding sentence shall include, but shall not be limited to, the right to be indemnified and to have Expenses advanced in all Proceedings to the fullest extent permitted by Chapter 8 of the TBOC, but subject to the terms of Section 4.3 below. The provisions set forth in this Agreement are provided in addition to and as a means of furtherance and implementation of, and not in limitation of, the obligations expressed in this Article 3. No requirement, condition to or limitation of any right to indemnification under this Article 3, or to advancement of Expenses under Articles 3 and 4 shall in any way limit the rights of Indemnitee under Section 7.3.
Section 3.2 Additional Indemnity of the Corporation. Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 3.2, if by reason of Indemnitees Corporate Status, Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to any Proceeding (except to the extent limited by Section 3.3). Pursuant to this Section 3.2, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against Expenses, judgments, penalties (including excise or similar taxes), fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitees behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any Claim therein, if (a) Indemnitee conducted himself in good faith; (b) Indemnitee reasonably believed (i) in the case of conduct in Indemnitees official capacity, that Indemnitees conduct was in the Corporations best interest; and (ii) in all other cases, that Indemnitees conduct was at least not opposed to the Corporations best interests and, (c) in the case of any criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe Indemnitees conduct was unlawful. Nothing in this Section 3.2 shall limit the benefits of Section 3.1 or any other Section hereunder.
Section 3.3 Limitation on Indemnity. The indemnification otherwise available to an Indemnitee under Sections 3.1 and 3.2 shall be limited to the extent set forth in this Section 3.3. In the event that an Indemnitee is found liable to the Corporation or is found liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by the Indemnitee, whether or not the benefit resulted from an action taken in Indemnitees official capacity, the Indemnitee shall, with respect to the Claim in the Proceeding in which such finding is made, be indemnified only against reasonable Expenses actually incurred by him in connection with that Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnification against Expenses shall be made in respect of any Claim in such Proceeding (i) in which judgement is rendered against Indemnitee for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by Indemnitee of securities of the Corporation pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act and amendments thereto or similar provisions of any federal, state or local statutory law, (ii) where a final decision by a Court (as hereinafter defined) shall determine that such indemnification is not lawful or (iii) as to which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable for willful or intentional misconduct in the performance of Indemnitees duty to the Corporation; provided, however, that, if applicable law so permits,
indemnification against such Expenses shall nevertheless be made by the Corporation in such event if and only to the extent that the Court in which such Proceeding shall have been brought or is pending, shall determine.
Section 3.4 Contribution. If the indemnification provided in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 is unavailable and may not be paid to Indemnitee for any reason other than those set forth in paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 3.3, then with respect to any Proceeding in which the Corporation is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), the Corporation shall contribute to the amount of Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred and paid or payable by Indemnitee in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Corporation on the one hand and by the Indemnitee on the other hand from the transaction from which such Proceeding arose, and (ii) the relative fault of the Corporation on the one hand and of the Indemnitee on the other hand in connection with the events which resulted in such Expenses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Corporation on the one hand and of the Indemnitee on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent the circumstances resulting in such Expenses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts. The Corporation agrees that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 3.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the foregoing equitable considerations.
ARTICLE 4.
EXPENSES
Section 4.1 Expenses of a Party Who Is Wholly or Partly Successful. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party by reason of Indemnitees Corporate Status and in which Indemnitee is successful, on the merits or otherwise. In the event that Indemnitee is not wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in a Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to any Claim in such Proceeding, the Corporation shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitees behalf relating to each such Claim. For purposes of this Section 4.1 and without limitation, the termination of a Claim in a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such Claim.
Section 4.2 Expenses of a Witness. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of Indemnitees Corporate Status, a witness or otherwise participates in any Proceeding at a time when Indemnitee is not named as a defendant or respondent in the Proceeding, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitees behalf in connection therewith.
Section 4.3 Advancement of Expenses. Except as set forth below, the Corporation shall pay all reasonable Expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding or Claim, whether brought by the Corporation or otherwise, in advance of any determination respecting entitlement to indemnification pursuant to Article 5 hereof within 10 days after the receipt by the Corporation of a written request from Indemnitee requesting such payment or payments from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding or Claim. Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee. Indemnitee hereby undertakes and agrees that Indemnitee will reimburse and repay the Corporation for any Expenses so advanced to the extent that it shall ultimately be determined by a Court in a final adjudication from which there is no further right of appeal, that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to the advancement of expenses under the Agreement if a determination has been made by a judicial authority or governmental entity or agency or, absent such determination, any such authority, entity or agency has taken a position or issued any guidance stating, that the advancement of expenses to an indemnitee in a manner similar to that contemplated in this Agreement constitutes a personal loan in contravention of Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or any similar law or regulation. In addition, in light of the foregoing, Indemnitee agrees that he or she shall not be entitled to, and Indemnitee hereby waives, the right to the advancement of expenses in connection with any indemnification rights permitted under the Corporations Restated Articles of Incorporation or By-laws, or under the laws of the State of Texas or otherwise, if a determination has been made by a judicial authority or governmental entity or agency or, absent such determination, any such authority, entity or agency has taken a position or issued any guidance stating, that the advancement of expenses to an indemnitee in a manner similar to that contemplated in this Agreement constitutes a personal loan in contravention of Section 402 of the Act or any similar law or regulation. If the advancement of Expenses to the Indemnitee is restricted by applicable law as set forth in this Section, such restriction shall not otherwise affect the Corporations obligations to indemnify or make contributions to the Indemnitee, as applicable, as contemplated in this Agreement.
ARTICLE 5.
PROCEDURE FOR DETERMINATION OF ENTITLEMENT TO INDEMNIFICATION
Section 5.1 Request by Indemnitee. To obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Corporation a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. The Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification.
Section 5.2 Determination of Request. Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to the first sentence of Section 5.1 hereof, a determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to Indemnitees entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case: (a) if a Change in Control shall have occurred, by Independent Counsel in a written
opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee, unless Indemnitee shall request that such determination be made in accordance with Section 8.103(a)(1) or (a)(2) of the TBOC; (b) if a Change in Control shall not have occurred, in accordance with Section 8.103 of the TBOC. If it is so determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within 10 days after such determination. Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person making such determination with respect to Indemnitees entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information that is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and that is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any costs or expenses (including attorneys fees and disbursements) incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person making such determination shall be borne by the Corporation (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitees entitlement to indemnification) and the Corporation hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitee therefrom.
Section 5.3 Independent Counsel. If a Change in Control shall have occurred and Indemnitee elects that the determination as to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel, the Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee, and Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Corporation within 10 days advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected (unless Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made by the Board, in which event the Corporation shall give written notice to the Indemnitee within 10 days after receipt of Indemnitees request for indemnification advising Indemnitee of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected). In either event, Indemnitee or the Corporation, as the case may be, within 7 days after such written notice of selection shall have been given, may deliver to the Corporation or to Indemnitee, as the case may be, a written objection to such selection. Any objection to selection of Independent Counsel pursuant to this Section 5.3 may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of the definition of Independent Counsel in Article 1 hereof, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. If such written objection is timely made, the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until a Court has determined that such objection is without merit. In the event of a timely written objection to a choice of Independent Counsel, the party originally selecting the Independent Counsel shall have 7 days to make an alternate selection of Independent Counsel and to give written notice of such selection to the other party, after which time such other party shall have 5 days to make a written objection to such alternate selection. If, following 30 days after submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either the Corporation or Indemnitee may petition a Court for resolution of any objection that shall have been made by the Corporation or Indemnitee to the others selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the Court or by such other person as the Court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom an objection is so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 5.2 hereof. The Corporation shall pay any and all reasonable fees and expenses of Independent Counsel incurred by such Independent Counsel in connection with acting pursuant to Section 5.2, and the Corporation shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses incident to the procedures of this Section 5.3, regardless of the manner in which such Independent Counsel was selected or appointed. Upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to Section 6.1(c) of this
Agreement, Independent Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing).
Section 5.4 Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings.
(a) If a Change in Control shall have occurred, Indemnitee shall be presumed (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) to be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement upon submission of a request for indemnification under Section 5.1, and thereafter the Corporation shall have the burden of proof in overcoming that presumption in reaching a determination contrary to that presumption. The presumption shall be used by Independent Counsel (or other person or persons determining entitlement to indemnification) as a basis for a determination of entitlement to indemnification unless the Corporation provides information sufficient to overcome such presumption by clear and convincing evidence or the investigation, review and analysis of Independent Counsel (or such other person or persons) convinces him or them by clear and convincing evidence that the presumption should not apply.
(b) If the person or persons empowered or selected under Article 5 of this Agreement to determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall not have made a determination with 60 days after receipt by the Corporation of the request by Indemnitee therefor, the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification, absent (i) a knowing misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or knowing omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitees statement not materially misleading in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law; provided, however, that such 60-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional 30 days, if the person making the determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification in good faith requires such additional time for the obtaining or evaluating of documentation and/or information relating to such determination; and provided, further, that the 60-day limitation set forth in this Section 5.4(b) shall not apply and such period shall be extended as necessary (i) if within 30 days after receipt by the Corporation of the request for indemnification under Section 5.1 the Board has resolved to submit such determination to the shareholders pursuant to Section 5.2(b) of this Agreement for their consideration at an annual meeting thereof to be held within 90 days after such receipt and such determination is made thereat, or a special meeting of shareholders is called within 30 days after such receipt for the purpose of making such determination, such meeting is held for such purpose within 60 days after having been so called and such determination is made thereat, or (ii) if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 5.2(a) of this Agreement, in which case the applicable period shall be as set forth in Section 6.1(c).
(c) The termination of any Proceeding or of any Claim by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) by itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not conduct himself in good faith and in a manner that Indemnitee reasonably believed in the
case of conduct in Indemnitees official capacity, that was not in the best interests of the Corporation or, in all other cases, that was not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitees conduct was unlawful. Indemnitee shall be deemed to have been found liable in respect of any Claim only after Indemnitee shall have been so adjudged by a Court after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom.
ARTICLE 6.
CERTAIN REMEDIES OF INDEMNITEE
Section 6.1 Indemnitee Entitled to Adjudication in an Appropriate Court. In the event (a) a determination is made pursuant to Article 5 that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement; (b) there has been any failure by the Corporation to make timely payment or advancement of any amounts due hereunder; or (c) the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 5.2 and such determination shall not have been made and delivered in a written opinion within 90 days after (i) such Independent Counsels being appointed, (ii) the overruling by the Court of objections to such counsels selection or (iii) expiration of all periods for the Corporation or Indemnitee to object to such counsels selection, Indemnitee shall be entitled to commence an action seeking an adjudication in an appropriate Court of the State of Texas, or in any other Court, of Indemnitees entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of Expenses. Alternatively, Indemnitee, at Indemnitees option, may seek an award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Indemnitee shall commence such action seeking an adjudication or an award in arbitration within 180 days following the date on which Indemnitee first has the right to commence such action pursuant to this Section 6.1, or such right shall expire. The Corporation agrees not to oppose Indemnitees right to seek any such adjudication or award through arbitration proceedings.
Section 6.2 Adverse Determination Not to Affect any Judicial Proceeding. In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Article 5 that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Article 6 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial or arbitration on the merits, and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of such initial adverse determination. In any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Article 6, the Corporation shall have the burden of proving that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses, as the case may be.
Section 6.3 Corporation Bound by Determination Favorable to Indemnitee in any Judicial Proceeding or Arbitration. If a determination shall have been made or deemed to have been made pursuant to Article 5 that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Corporation shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Article 6, absent a knowing misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or a knowing omission of a material fact necessary to make a statement by Indemnitee not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification.
Section 6.4 Corporation Bound by the Agreement. The Corporation shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Article 6 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such Court or before any such arbitrator that the Corporation is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement.
Section 6.5 Indemnitee Entitled to Expenses of Judicial Proceeding. In the event that Indemnitee seeks a judicial adjudication of or an award in arbitration to enforce his rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover from the Corporation, and shall be indemnified by the Corporation against, any and all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in such judicial adjudication or arbitration but only if Indemnitee prevails therein. If it shall be determined in said judicial adjudication or arbitration that Indemnitee is entitled to receive part but not all of the indemnification or advancement of expenses or other benefit sought, the Expenses reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such judicial adjudication or arbitration shall be reasonably prorated in good faith by counsel for Indemnitee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Change in Control shall have occurred, Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification under this Section 6.5 regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately prevails in such judicial adjudication or arbitration, unless it is determined in such adjudication or arbitration that such indemnification is not lawful. Under this Section 6.5, (i) the amount of Expenses eligible for reimbursement during the Indemnitees taxable year may not affect the Expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year; (ii) the reimbursement of Expenses must be made on or before the last day of the Indemnitees taxable year following the taxable year in which the Expenses were incurred; (iii) the right to reimbursement may not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit; and (iv) the Indemnitees recovery from the Corporation of any Expenses must take place during the duration of this Agreement (see Section 7.6 which follows).
ARTICLE 7.
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 7.1 Non-Exclusivity. The rights of Indemnitee to receive indemnification and advancement of Expenses under this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Restated Articles of Incorporation or By-laws of the Corporation, any other agreement, vote of shareholders or a resolution of directors, or otherwise. No amendment or alteration of the Restated Articles of Incorporation or By-laws of the Corporation or any provision thereof shall adversely affect Indemnitees rights hereunder and such rights shall be in addition to any rights Indemnitee may have under the Corporations Restated Articles of Incorporation, By-laws and the TBOC or otherwise. To the extent that there is a change in the TBOC (whether by statute or judicial decision) which allows greater indemnification by agreement than would be afforded currently under the Corporations Restated Articles of Incorporation or By-laws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that the Indemnitee shall enjoy by virtue of this Agreement the greater benefit so afforded by such change.
Section 7.2 Insurance and Subrogation.
(a) To the extent that the Corporation maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors, officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries of the Corporation or of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise that such person serves or served at the request of the Corporation, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any such director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary thereunder.
(b) In the event of any payment by the Corporation under this Agreement, the Corporation shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Corporation to bring suit to enforce such rights.
(c) The Corporation shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any By-law, insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.
Section 7.3 Self-Insurance of the Corporation.
(a) The parties hereto recognize that the Corporation may, but is not required to, procure or maintain insurance or other similar arrangements, at its expense, to protect itself and any person, including the Indemnitee, who is or was a director, officer, employee agent or fiduciary of the Corporation or who is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss asserted against or incurred by such person, in such a capacity or arising out of his or her status as such a person, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense or liability.
(b) In considering the cost and availability of such insurance, the Corporation, (through the exercise of the business judgment of its directors and officers), from time to time, may purchase insurance which provides for any and all of (i) deductibles, (ii) limits on payments required to be made by the insurer or (iii) coverage which may not be as comprehensive as that previously included in insurance purchased by the Corporation or its predecessors. The purchase of insurance with deductibles, limits on payments and coverage exclusions, even if in the best interest of the Corporation, may not be in the best interest of the Indemnitee and the Indemnitee acknowledges such fact. As to the Corporation, purchasing insurance with deductibles, limits on payments and coverage exclusions is similar to the Corporations practice of self-insurance in other areas. In order to protect Indemnitee who would otherwise be more fully or entirely covered under such policies, the Corporation shall indemnify and hold Indemnitee harmless to the extent (i) of such deductibles, (ii) of amounts exceeding payments required to be made by an
insurer or (iii) that prior policies of officers and directors liability insurance held by the Corporation or its predecessors would have provided for payment to Indemnitee, if by reason of Indemnitees Corporate Status Indemnitee is or is threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding. The obligation of the Corporation in the preceding sentence shall be without regard to whether the Corporation would otherwise be entitled to indemnify such officer or director under the other provisions of this Agreement, or under any law, agreement, vote of shareholders or directors or other arrangement. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.3, the Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification for the results of Indemnitees conduct that is intentionally adverse to the interests of the Corporation. Without limiting the generality of any provision of this Agreement, the procedures in Article 5 hereof shall, to the extent applicable, be used for determining entitlement to indemnification under this Section 7.3. This Agreement is authorized by Section 8.151 of the TBOC as in effect on the Effective Date, and further is intended to establish an arrangement of self-insurance and an other arrangement pursuant to that section.
Section 7.4 Certain Settlement Provisions. The Corporation shall have no obligation to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement for amounts paid in settlement of a Proceeding or Claim without the Corporations prior written consent. The Corporation shall not settle any Proceeding or Claim in any manner that would impose any fine or other obligation on Indemnitee without Indemnitees prior written consent. Neither the Corporation nor Indemnitee shall unreasonably withhold their consent to any proposed settlement.
Section 7.5 Exculpation of Directors. If Indemnitee is a director of the Corporation, Indemnitee shall, in Indemnitees capacity as a director of the Corporation, not be liable to the Corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for an act or omission in Indemnitees capacity as a director, except that Indemnitees liability shall not be eliminated or limited for; (a) a breach of Indemnitees duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its shareholders; (b) an act or omission not in good faith that constitutes a breach of duty of a director to the Corporation or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law; (c) a transaction from which Indemnitee received an improper benefit, whether or not the benefit resulted from an action taken within the scope of Indemnitees office; or (d) an act or omission for which the liability of Indemnitee is expressly provided for by statute.
Section 7.6 Duration of Agreement. This Agreement shall continue for so long as Indemnitee serves at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Corporation or as a director, officer, partner, employee, agent or fiduciary of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise in which the Corporation has an interest, and thereafter shall survive until and terminate upon the last to occur of: (a) 20 years after the date that Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Corporation and of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise which Indemnitee served at the request of the Corporation; (b) the final termination of all pending Proceedings in respect of which Indemnitee is granted rights of indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder and of any proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Article 6 relating thereto; or (c) the expiration of all statutes of limitation applicable to possible Claims arising out of Indemnitees Corporate Status.
Section 7.7 Notice by Each Party. Indemnitee agrees to promptly notify the Corporation in writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document or communication relating to any Proceeding or Claim for which Indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder; provided that failure to provide such notice does not affect Indemnitees rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder. The Corporation agrees to promptly notify Indemnitee in writing, as to the pendency of any Proceeding or Claim which may involve a claim against the Indemnitee for which Indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder.
Section 7.8 Amendment. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by a written instrument executed by or on behalf of each of the parties hereto.
Section 7.9 Waivers. The observation of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) by the party entitled to enforce such term only by a writing signed by the party against which such waiver is to be asserted. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, no delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on the part of any party hereto of any right, power or privilege hereunder operate as a waiver of any other right, power or privilege hereunder nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder.
Section 7.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents expressly referred to herein constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the matters covered hereby, and any other prior or contemporaneous oral or written understandings or agreements (including any prior indemnification agreements with the Corporation) with respect to the matters covered hereby are expressly superseded by this Agreement; provided, however, that if the Indemnitee had previously executed an indemnification agreement with the Corporation which is to be superceded by this Agreement, this Agreement shall expressly cover all events and periods prior to the Effective Date to which the superceded agreement applied.
Section 7.11 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement (including any provision within a single section, paragraph or sentence) or the application of such provision to any person or circumstance, shall be judicially declared to be invalid, unenforceable or void, such decision will not have the effect of invalidating or voiding the remainder of this Agreement or affect the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances, and the parties hereto agree that the part or parts of this Agreement so held to be invalid, unenforceable or void will be deemed to have been stricken herefrom and the remainder of this Agreement will have the same force and effectiveness as if such part or parts had never been included herein; provided, however, that the parties shall negotiate in good faith with respect to an equitable modification of the provision or application thereof declared to be invalid, unenforceable or void. Any such finding of invalidity or unenforceability shall not prevent the enforcement of such provision in any other jurisdiction to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law

Section 7.17 Successors and Binding Agreement.
(a) The Corporation shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Corporation, to expressly assume and agree to perform
this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent the Corporation would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.

(the Company)
CODE OF ETHICS
INTRODUCTION
From complete printing solutions to superior customer service, excellence is an integral part of Consolidated Graphics and key to our consistent success. In todays business environment, excellence also means demonstrating the highest ethical and professional standards. As one of Americas premier providers of printing services, our guiding principles require honesty, integrity and quality in all that we do. This Code of Ethics (the Code) has been adopted to further communicate our guiding principles.
This Code addresses a wide range of business practices and procedures and is a guide to ethical decision-making. It does not cover every issue that may arise, but it sets out the Board of Directors (the Board) basic principles to guide all employees, officers and directors of the Company (Company Personnel). Some topics covered in the Code may also be explained in greater detail in separate Company documents (e.g., the Employee Handbook) and such documents should be viewed as being complementary to one another. All Company Personnel must conduct themselves in accordance with the policies in this Code and seek to avoid even the appearance of improper behavior as even one instance of a person failing to act with integrity can damage our reputation and compromise the publics trust.
We ask even more of our leaders in the Company. Company Personnel holding a leadership position (officers, managers and supervisors) have the additional responsibilities of ensuring that (1) employees under their supervision are properly trained, (2) they possess the knowledge to answer questions from employees under their supervision regarding Company values, policies and procedures, and (3) they foster an environment of clear and open communication where issues are brought forward throughout the Company without fear of retribution or retaliation.
If Company Personnel are in a situation which they believe may violate or lead to a violation of law or this Code, Company Personnel may address the matters directly with their supervisor or they may directly contact the Companys Executive Vice President Human Resources and Labor Relations at 713-787-0977. Alternatively, Company Personnel can follow the guidelines described in Section 1 of this Code for confidential or anonymous communications.
NOTE: THIS CODE IS NOT A CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT NOR AN ASSURANCE OF CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT AND IT DOES NOT CHANGE ANY PERSONS EMPLOYMENT STATUS WITH THE COMPANY. THIS CODE IS NOT INTENDED AND DOES NOT, IN ANY WAY, CREATE ANY RIGHTS IN ANY EMPLOYEE, CLIENT, SUPPLIER, COMPETITOR, SHAREHOLDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY. COMPANY PERSONNEL WHO VIOLATE THE
STANDARDS IN THIS CODE WILL BE SUBJECT TO DISCIPLINARY ACTION, UP TO AND INCLUDING TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.
I. REPORTING ILLEGAL OR UNETHICAL BEHAVIOR
All Company Personnel should report violations of laws or violations of this Code, as well as cooperate in any internal investigation. All Company Personnel are encouraged to talk to their supervisors, the corporate human resource department or other appropriate personnel about observed or suspected illegal or unethical behavior. It is the policy of the Company not to allow retaliation or retribution for reports made in good faith of actual or suspected misconduct. Since the Company cannot anticipate every situation that will arise, it is important to approach any potential problem in the following manner:
· If confronted with a situation that is potentially illegal or unethical, ask yourself (and be prepared to answer) Exactly what am I being asked to do? or Exactly what did I just see?
· Clarify your own responsibility and role within the Company pertaining to this matter.
· Use your common sense after some self-examination, if your common sense says the situation is unethical or illegal, it is time to involve an authorized representative of the Company such as your supervisor, the corporate human resource department or the Executive Vice President Human Resources and Labor Relations of the Company it is the responsibility of the authorized representatives of the Company to address and help solve any problems.
· Make sure all the facts, times and names pertaining to the situation are in order to fully inform the individual you contact. A sufficiently detailed description of the factual basis for the allegation should be given in order to allow for an appropriate investigation.
· The Company understands that there may be situations when an individual may want to report concerns about matters addressed by the Code anonymously or with confidentiality. In such situations, the individual may report actual or suspected illegal or unethical behavior, including questionable accounting or auditing matters, by calling 1-877-291-7770 in the US or Canada or the CGX hotline phone number posted at your facility and, at their option, remain anonymous or request that their identity remain confidential. The Company will keep reports confidential to the fullest extent possible, consistent with conducting an adequate investigation. All reports will be reviewed by an appropriate officer of the Company or a member of the Board, such as the Audit Committee Chairman, depending on the nature of the report.
Remember: If an individual reporting actual or suspected illegal or unethical behavior, including questionable accounting or auditing matters, does not identify him or herself, the Company might not be able to respond appropriately to the individuals concern. Further, there may come a time when the Company cannot proceed with an investigation of a reported problem without obtaining additional information from the reporting person.
II. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS, RULES AND REGULATIONS
Obeying the law, both in letter and in spirit, is integral to the ethical standards of this Code. All Company Personnel must follow applicable federal and foreign laws, as well as the laws of each city and state in which the Company operates. While it is not expected that each person know all details of the law, it is important that each person know when to seek advice from authorized Company representatives. Reasons for violations such as everyone does it will not be tolerated.
III. CHANGES AND WAIVERS OF THE CODE OF ETHICS
Changes in or waivers of the Code may be made only by the Board or its appointed committee. However, changes or waivers pertaining to any member of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Controller or persons of similar functions, and any other executive officers of the Company (Principal Officers), may be made only by the independent directors on the Board or a committee of the Board consisting of independent directors. All changes in or waivers of the Code for Principal Officers will be promptly disclosed as required by applicable law and the NYSE listing requirements.
IV. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST/RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS
A conflict of interest exists when a persons private interest interferes in any way with the interests of the Company. A conflict situation can arise when Company Personnel take actions or have interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her Company work objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest may also arise when Company Personnel, or members of their family, receive improper personal benefits as a result of their position in the Company. Loans to, or guarantees of loans, to Company Personnel or their family members may create conflicts of interest; accordingly, such actions are strictly prohibited. It is always a conflict of interest for Company Personnel to work simultaneously for a customer, supplier or competitor and may be a conflict of interest for their family members to do so. The best policy is to avoid any direct or indirect business connection with our customers, suppliers or competitors, except on behalf of the Company. If a conflict of interest becomes unavoidable, the best policy is to make an immediate and full disclosure to an authorized Company representative; the Company will work to address the conflict in the best possible manner.
A conflict of interest can also arise in connection with related person transactions, i.e., when the Company does business with a supplier or customer in which Company Personnel or their family members have an investment or other financial interest. Company policy (i) strictly prohibits related person transactions involving Principal Officers unless a prior waiver is obtained pursuant to Section III above and (ii) for all other related person transactions, requires
advance disclosure of the relationship, advance review and approval of proposed related person transactions by an authorized independent Company representative, and timely reporting thereof.
V. COMPANY OPPORTUNITIES
Company Personnel may, from time to time, find it possible to take personal advantage of unique opportunities gained through use of Company property, information or position. Accordingly, Company Personnel may not use Company property, information, or position for improper personal gain, and may not compete with the Company directly or indirectly. All Company Personnel owe a duty to the Company to advance its legitimate interests at every available opportunity.
VI. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
Company Personnel may from time to time gain access to information of a confidential nature (either regarding the Company, or regarding Company Personnel, investors, suppliers or customers). Maintaining the confidentiality of the information entrusted to the Company is at all times expected, except where disclosure is required by law. The legal right of Company Personnel to use and access the Companys confidential information is limited to the use and access necessary for such Company Personnel to perform their respective job responsibilities. All non-public information should be considered confidential information. Confidential information may include, but is not limited to, all information belonging to, used by, or developed by the Company (or its customers) including or relating to internal operations, policies and procedures, trade secrets, business plans or strategies, marketing plans, pricing, billing information, actual or potential customer lists, contracts, contract terms and conditions, sales lists, process descriptions, technology, software source codes, research and development plans, computer programs, computer software and systems, inventions, developments, employee lists, employee salary information and other records relating to Company Personnel and any unpublished financial data, as well as all non-public information that might be of use to an outside party in a manner disadvantageous to the Company or Company Personnel, investors, suppliers or customers. The obligation to preserve confidential information continues even after employment ends.
VII. INSIDER TRADING
Use of confidential information of the Company for securities trading purposes is specifically prohibited. The prohibition extends not only to trading in securities of the Company, but also trading in securities of any other company with which the Company competes or conducts business. Under federal securities laws, it is unlawful for any person who, by virtue of his or her relationship with the Company, has access to material nonpublic information concerning the Company, to:
· buy or sell securities of the Company or any other entity to which the information may relate;
· disseminate the information, directly or indirectly, to friends, family or others (tip) who in turn trade on or misuse the information; or
· use the information in any other manner to achieve personal gain.
Remember: To use confidential information for personal financial benefit or to tip others who might make an investment decision on the basis of this information is not only unethical, but may also be a criminal offense. The restrictions of this policy also apply to your family members and others living in your household. You are responsible for their compliance with securities laws and this Code. Refer also to the Consolidated Graphics, Inc. Insider Trading Policy for further detail. It is your responsibility to be familiar with, and comply with, the Insider Trading Policy as it may be amended from time to time.
VIII. COMPETITION AND FAIR DEALING
Company Personnel should strive to help the Company outperform the competition at every opportunity. This should be done honestly and fairly at all times. Never make unsupportable promises concerning our products and services, and never make disparaging or false statements or innuendos about competitors or former Company Personnel. We seek competitive advantages through superior performance, but never through unethical or illegal business practices. Theft of proprietary information or possession and use of trade information without the owners consent (or inducement of such disclosures by past or present employees of other companies) is prohibited. Each employee should endeavor to respect the rights of, and deal fairly with, the Companys customers, suppliers, competitors and employees. No Company Personnel should take unfair advantage of anyone through manipulation, concealment, abuse of privileged information, misrepresentation of material facts, or any other intentional unfair practice.
IX. BUSINESS GIFTS AND PAYMENTS TO OR FROM THIRD PARTIES
The purpose of business entertainment and gifts in a commercial setting is to create goodwill and sound working relationships, not to gain unfair or illegal advantage with customers, suppliers or competitors. Attempting to influence any third party through bribes, kick-backs or pay-offs is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate disciplinary action. No gift or form of entertainment should ever be directly or indirectly offered, given, or provided by any Company Personnel or their family members, to any customer, supplier or competitor of the Company, unless it meets all of the following criteria:
· it is not a cash gift,
· it is consistent with customary business practices,
· it is not excessive in value,
· it cannot reasonably be construed as a bribe, kick-back or pay-off,
· it is occasional in nature, and
· it does not violate any laws or regulations.
The Company explicitly prohibits all Company Personnel from soliciting or receiving gifts, payments, services or anything else of greater than token or nominal value, including trips, outings, meals, tickets to sporting events and other forms of entertainment that fail to meet all of the following criteria:
· it is not a cash gift,
· it is not excessive in value,
· it is directly associated with the active conduct of business on behalf of the Company,
· it cannot reasonably be construed as a bribe, kick-back or pay-off,
· it is occasional in nature,
· it has received approval of the recipients immediate supervisor, and
· it does not violate any laws or regulations.
Any circumstances that fail to meet all of the above criteria require prior authorization from the Chief Executive Officer. Policy violations will result in immediate disciplinary action.
X. POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS/PUBLIC SERVICE
While the Company neither encourages nor discourages participation in political and civic activities at a personal level, no contribution or statement of support may be made on behalf of the Company or using Company resources to any political party, candidate for public office, or charitable or civic organization without written authorization from the Chief Executive Officer or his designee(s).
XI. DISCRIMINATION AND HARASSMENT
The diversity of the Companys employees is a tremendous asset. The Company is committed to providing equal opportunity employment and any illegal discrimination or harassment will not be tolerated. Examples of intolerable behavior include but are not limited to derogatory comments regarding physical characteristics (racial, gender, ethnic) and/or unwelcome sexual advances.
XII. HEALTH AND SAFETY
The Company strives to provide each employee with a safe and healthy work place. Company Personnel have a responsibility for maintaining a safe and healthy workplace for all
other Company Personnel by following safety and health rules and practices, and reporting accidents and unsafe conditions. Each operating location is responsible for maintaining all required permits, postings and authorizations applicable to the operating location.
While the Employee Handbook governs employment matters as it pertains to drug and alcohol usage, this Code conveys the overall tone of zero tolerance with respect thereto. Reporting to work in suitable condition to perform required duties, free from the influence of illegal or prescription drugs or alcohol, is always required. All Company Personnel are required to report to their supervisor the use of any medication, whether or not prescribed by a physician, which may affect judgment or work performance. The use or sale of illegal drugs at any time, or alcohol in and around the work place, will not be tolerated. As part of the Companys commitment to a drug free work place, and as a condition of employment, the Company requires a negative result on drug tests administered:
· prior to employment,
· in connection with testing after all work-place accidents and work related injuries, and
· any other time as the Company may determine in its sole discretion subject to applicable laws, regulations or other agreements governing employment matters.
XIII. RECORD-KEEPING
The Company requires honest and accurate recording and reporting of information. All of the Companys books, records, accounts and financial statements must be maintained in reasonable detail, must appropriately reflect the Companys transactions and must conform both to applicable legal and regulatory requirements and to the Companys policies and practices. Unrecorded or off the book funds and accounts should not be maintained. Requests for reimbursement of expenses incurred on behalf of the Company must be properly documented and approved in accordance with Company policy and government regulations. Periodic and other reports (financial or otherwise) to governmental agencies must present a full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure regarding the Companys business and operations. Business records and internal and external written communication (including email) often become public; exaggeration, derogatory remarks, guesswork, or inappropriate characterizations should be avoided in all internal and external communications. All records should always be retained in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
XIV. USE OF COMPANY ASSETS
Theft, carelessness and waste have a direct impact on the Companys profitability. All Company Personnel should endeavor to protect Company assets and ensure their efficient use. All Company assets should be used only for legitimate business purposes. Any suspected incident of fraud or theft should immediately be reported to your supervisor or an authorized representative of the Company. Company expense accounts, credit cards, bank accounts, intellectual properties such as copyrights, business plans and other resources are strictly limited
to Company use; personal charges on Company accounts are prohibited. Company equipment and facilities are for business use and all personal use should be avoided unless prior approval is received from an authorized representative of the Company.
XV. ANTITRUST COMPLIANCE
The purpose of the antitrust laws of the United States (and of many other countries) is to provide a level playing field to economic competitors and promote fair competition by prohibiting collusive business practices and other anticompetitive behavior. As with all laws, we are dedicated to compliance with antitrust laws in all our activities. Violations can result in severe penalties, including criminal punishment. Accordingly, Company Personnel may not under any circumstances or in any context enter into any anticompetitive understanding or agreement, whether express or implied, formal or informal, written or oral, with an actual or potential competitor, and should otherwise avoid acting in any manner that gives the appearance that the law is being violated. Examples of such agreements include, but are not limited to, allocation of markets by competitors (geographically or otherwise), fixing prices, bid-rigging, agreeing with competitors not to bid certain jobs or customers, agreeing with competitors to fix production volumes or quotas, submitting false bids, sharing bid pricing with competitors, and exchanging sensitive data about potential customers.
XVI. USE OF SOFTWARE, COMPANY COMPUTERS AND PHONES
It is the policy of the Company to respect the privacy of Company Personnel. However, the expectation of privacy does not extend to the use of Company assets, including, but not limited to, desks, cabinets, lockers, telephones and computers. Company management has the right and duty to control the use of the Companys communications and record systems. All messages and information generated on or handled by the Companys communication and record systems are the property of the Company. All third-party software used by Company Personnel must be properly licensed to the Company. Software may be distributed only to Company Personnel authorized to use it. No software may be installed, copied, shared or distributed without prior written approval from the corporate manager having ultimate responsibility for the type of software in question.
XVII. DOING BUSINESS WITH GOVERNMANTS
U.S. federal law and the laws of most states prohibit giving anything of value to any governmental official with the intent to influence any official act, even if the official is required by law to perform the act. It is the Companys policy that any gratuities, whether paid for by the Company or by any Company Personnel, to any employee of any government (foreign, federal, state or local) are generally prohibited, unless prior approval of the Chief Financial Officer has been obtained. Gratuities include, but are not limited to, favors, gifts, entertainment, hospitality, loans, transportation, any other tangible items, and any intangible benefits including discounts, passes, and promotional vendor training, given or extended to or on behalf of (government) personnel, their immediate family members, or households, for which fair market value is not paid by the recipient or applicable governmental body or agency.
The Company prohibits the bribery of public officials in the conduct of its business in the U.S. and abroad. Furthermore, the Company requires strict compliance on the part of all Company Personnel, at all locations worldwide, with the anti-bribery provisions of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). Generally, the FCPA prohibits bribes, kickbacks, or otherwise giving anything of value to a government official in an attempt to influence such government officials discretionary decision or official action or inaction. The term government official is broadly defined, and includes any officer or employee of a foreign government or governmental department or agency, including low-ranking government employees, as well as non-government employees that carry out governmental functions, political parties and officials, and candidates for political office. The FCPA prohibitions extend to payments to consultants, agents, or other intermediaries when the payor knows or has reason to know that all or some portion of the payment or fee paid to the intermediary will be used to bribe or otherwise influence a government official. Companies and individuals may be subject to substantial civil and criminal penalties (including imprisonment for individuals) for violations of the FCPA.
In some foreign countries it is customary at times to pay grease or facilitating payments for routine government actions, usually performed by low-ranking government employees or officials engaged in ministerial duties (e.g., payments in connection with obtaining ordinary licenses, processing official papers such as visa applications or work orders, or establishing common governmental services such as phone, mail, electrical, or water services). Such grease or facilitating payments are excepted from the FCPAs prohibitions, but can only be made if lawful in the country at issue. Such payments are discouraged by the Company and can only be made, irrespective of the amount, if any such payment is approved in advance and in writing by the Chief Financial Officer. Any such payment that is so authorized must be legal in the country at issue and be properly recorded in the Companys financial statements. It is critical that Company Personnel understand the difference between a bribe and a grease or facilitating payment, so if any Company Personnel are confronted with a request for such payment they must consult with the Chief Financial Officer before taking any action.
XVIII. MISCELLANEOUS
The Company expressly reserves the right to unilaterally change its policies, guidelines and related procedures at any time, and to amend or terminate this Code at any time. Any act by any Company Personnel in violation of applicable law or the Companys policies, including this Code, is beyond the scope of such individuals authority, and does not constitute, nor should it be deemed to constitute, an act by or on behalf of the Company.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OTHER INFORMATION | 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OTHER INFORMATION
Accounting Policies
The accounting policies of the Company reflect industry practices and conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The more significant of such accounting policies are described below.
Principles of Consolidation — The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company’s operations constitute one reportable segment because all of its printing businesses operate in the commercial printing industry and exhibit similar economic characteristics.
Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of certain estimates and assumptions by management in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including depreciation of property and equipment and amortization or impairment of intangible assets. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and relies on historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances to determine such estimates. Because uncertainties with respect to estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of financial statements, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Reclassification and Other Corrections — Certain reclassifications of prior period data have been made to conform to the current period reporting. Additionally, the Company has corrected deferred tax accounts in the March 31, 2012 consolidated balance sheet to reflect deferred taxes associated with a multi-employer pension withdrawal accrual as noncurrent. This resulted in a reduction of the current deferred tax asset and non-current deferred tax liability in the amount of $6,789.
Cash and Cash Equivalents — The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Pursuant to the Company’s cash management system, the Company deposits cash into its bank accounts as checks written by the Company are presented to the bank for payment. Checks issued by the Company but not presented to the bank for payment are included in accounts payable and totaled $38,140 as of March 31, 2013 and $42,993 as of March 31, 2012.
Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable — The Company primarily recognizes revenue upon delivery of the printed product to the customer. In the case of customer fulfillment arrangements, including multiple deliverables of printing services and distribution services, revenue relating to the printed product is recognized upon the delivery of the printed product into the Company’s fulfillment warehouses, and invoicing of the customer for the product at an agreed price. Revenue from distribution services is recognized when the services are provided. Because printed products manufactured for the Company’s customers are customized based upon the customer’s specifications, product returns are not significant. Revenue is recognized net of sales taxes. The Company derives the majority of its revenues from sales and services to a broad and diverse group of customers with no individual customer accounting for more than 7% of the Company’s revenues in any of the years ended March 31, 2013, 2012 or 2011. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon its evaluation of aging of receivables, historical experience and the current economic environment. Accounts receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are reflected net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $3,323 and $3,246 at March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Inventories — Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market utilizing the first-in, first-out method for raw materials and the specific identification method for work in progress and finished goods. Raw materials consist of paper, ink, proofing materials, plates, boxes and other general supplies. Inventory values include the cost of purchased raw materials, labor and overhead costs. The carrying values of inventories are set forth below:
Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets — Goodwill totaled $23,870 at March 31, 2013 and represents the excess of the Company’s purchase cost over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired, net of previously recorded amortization and impairment charges. Each of the Company’s printing businesses is separately evaluated for goodwill impairment because they comprise individual reporting units. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at the end of each fiscal year, or at any time that management becomes aware of an indication of impairment.
The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08 “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other” (Topic 350): Testing for Impairment (“ASU 2011-08”), which permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of the events or circumstances, an entity determines it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the entity is required to perform the first step of the two-step impairment test. The first step, used to identify potential impairment, involves comparing each reporting unit’s estimated fair value to its carrying value including goodwill. The Company estimates the fair value for each reporting unit using trailing twelve months earnings before interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiplied by management’s estimate of an appropriate enterprise value-to-EBITDA multiple for each reporting unit, adjusted for a control premium. Management’s total Company enterprise value-to-EBITDA multiple is based upon the multiple derived from using the market capitalization of the Company’s common stock on or around the applicable balance sheet date, after considering an appropriate control premium (25% at March 31, 2013, based upon historical transactions in the printing industry). If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, applicable goodwill is considered not to be impaired. If the carrying value exceeds fair value, there is an indication of impairment and the second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment. The second step involves calculating an implied fair value of goodwill for each reporting unit for which the first step indicated potential impairment. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination, which is the excess of the fair value of the reporting unit, as determined in the first step, over the aggregate fair values of the individual assets, liabilities and identifiable intangible assets as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination. If the implied fair value of goodwill in the “proforma” business combination accounting described above exceeds the goodwill assigned to the reporting unit, there is no impairment. If the goodwill assigned to a reporting unit exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill, an impairment charge is recorded for the excess. A recognized impairment loss cannot exceed the amount of goodwill assigned to a reporting unit, and the loss establishes a new basis in the goodwill. Subsequent reversal of goodwill impairment losses is not permitted. The Company recognized a non-cash, pre-tax impairment charge to its goodwill in the amount of $949 for the year ended March 31, 2013 and $1,984 for the year ended March 31, 2012. Tax benefits totaling $370 in fiscal 2013 and $774 in fiscal 2012 were recorded in connection with these impairments.
Goodwill is as follows:
The Company compares the carrying value of long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (other than goodwill), to projections of future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets whenever events or changes in conditions indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. In the event that the carrying value of any long-lived asset exceeds the projection of future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such asset, the Company records an impairment charge against income equal to the excess, if any, of the carrying value over the asset’s fair value. The Company recorded impairments of $1,896, $2,016 and $1,205 in fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, which are included in other charges in the consolidated income statements.
The net book value of other intangible assets at March 31, 2013 was $11,936. Other intangible assets consist primarily of the value assigned to such items as customer lists and trade names in connection with the allocation of purchase price for acquisitions and are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over periods of between 5 and 25 years. Such assets are evaluated for recoverability with other long-lived assets as discussed above. Amortization expense totaled $3,586, $3,593 and $3,574 in fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company’s future amortization expense by fiscal year is as follows:
Accrued Liabilities — The significant components of accrued liabilities are as follows:
(1) Other accrued liabilities include accrued self-insurance claims for certain insurance programs. None of the individual items in other accrued liabilities at March 31, 2013 and 2012 were individually greater than 5% of total current liabilities in those years.
Income Taxes — The provision for income taxes includes federal, state and foreign income taxes which are currently payable or deferred based on current tax laws. Deferred income taxes are provided for the tax consequences of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. The Company reduces deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance when, based on its estimates, it is more likely than not that a portion of those assets will not be realized in a future period. The Company is subject to audit by taxing authorities and these audits occasionally result in proposed assessments which may result in additional tax liabilities and, in some cases, interest and penalties. The Company recognizes a tax position in its financial statements when it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The recognized tax position is then measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company has a reserve for unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions. The Company adjusts the reserve upon changes in circumstances that would cause a change to the estimate of the ultimate liability, upon effective settlement, or upon the expiration of the statute of limitations relating to such tax positions, in the period in which such event occurs. Although we believe our estimates are reasonable, the final outcome of uncertain tax positions may be different from that which is reflected in the financial statements.
Multi-Employer Pension Plans — The Company participates in multi-employer pension plans for certain of its employees covered by union agreements. Amounts expensed in the financial statements equal the regular contributions made to pension plans during the year. In addition to regular contributions, the Company could be obligated to pay additional amounts, known as a withdrawal liability, if a multi-employer pension plan has unfunded vested benefits and the Company decreases or ceases participation in the plan. The Company’s subsidiaries have in the past withdrawn from certain multi-employer pension plans. Upon withdrawing from a plan, the Company records an estimated liability equal to the present value of estimated required future withdrawal payments. The estimated withdrawal liability will be adjusted upon receipt of notice from the pension plan of the actual withdrawal liability and required withdrawal payments.
Supplemental Cash Flow Information — The consolidated statements of cash flows provide information about the Company’s sources and uses of cash and exclude the effects of non-cash transactions. The Company paid cash for interest totaling $5,321, $6,389 and $7,797 for the years ended March 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company paid cash for income taxes, net of refunds, totaling $13,915, $2,857 and $17,521 for the years ended March 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Earnings Per Share — Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflect net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares, dilutive stock options and restricted stock unit awards outstanding using the treasury stock method. Earnings per share are set forth below:
Diluted net earnings per share take into consideration the dilutive effect of certain unvested restricted stock unit awards and unexercised stock options. For the years ended March 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, options to purchase 1,023,500, 866,300 and 881,341 shares of common stock, respectively, were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted net earnings per share because inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments — The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, trade receivables, trade payables and debt obligations. The Company does not currently hold or issue derivative financial instruments. The Company believes that the recorded values of its variable rate debt obligations, which totaled $73,793 and $96,793 at March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, approximated their fair values. The Company believes that the recorded values of its fixed rate debt obligations, which totaled $49,891 and $66,953 at March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, approximated their fair values. Our debt obligations are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy and are valued utilizing estimated interest rates for the same or similar debt offered to the Company having the same or similar maturities and collateral requirements.
Concentrations of Credit Risk — Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily trade accounts receivable. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are limited because the Company’s printing businesses provide services to a large, diverse group of customers in various geographical regions. Management performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral for extensions of credit. The Company’s cash deposits are held with large, well-known financial institutions.
Share-Based Compensation — The Company accounts for share-based compensation by measuring the cost of the employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including grants of stock options and restricted stock unit awards, based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant. In addition, to the extent that the Company receives an excess tax benefit upon exercise of an award, such benefit is reflected as cash flow from financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Foreign Currency — Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries operating outside the United States with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated at period-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at the average monthly exchange rates. The effects of period-end translation are included as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). The net foreign currency transaction loss (gain) related to the revaluation of certain transactions denominated in currencies other than the reporting unit’s functional currency totaled ($351), $294 and $237 in fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and is recorded in Other Expense on the consolidated income statements.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) — Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) is comprised of foreign currency translation adjustments, net of taxes.
Geographic Information — Revenues of the Company’s subsidiaries operating outside the United States were $59,703, $58,041 and $55,956 in fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and long-lived assets were $36,192 and $36,233 as of March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. |
