Schawk Signs Gravure Cylinder Supply Agreement, Posts Sales Decline
Acquisition integration and restructuring expenses increased from $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2010 to $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2011. The charges in the 2011 first quarter arose from the Company's continued focus on consolidating, reducing and re-aligning the Company's work force and operations and are for employee terminations and other associated costs. These actions are expected to result in annualized savings of approximately $1.3 million, with approximately $1.0 million to be realized during 2011.
Schawk reported operating income of $5.5 million in the 2011 first quarter compared to $6.5 million in the first quarter of 2010. The decrease in operating income compared to the prior-year period was primarily the result of the decrease in gross margin driven by lower revenue coupled with increased business and systems integration expenses, mitigated somewhat by the Company's previously-discussed cost reduction efforts, lower foreign exchange losses and reduced expenses related to the impairment of long-lived assets.
Net income in the first quarter of 2011 was $2.8 million compared to $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2010. Excluding the after-tax effects of certain expenses detailed within the non-GAAP tables at the end of this press release, first-quarter 2011 Adjusted net income was $4.2 million compared to $4.5 million on a comparable basis for the prior-year period.
Adjusted EBITDA and Management Adjusted EBITDA Performance
Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2011 was $10.4 million compared to $12.2 million for the first quarter of 2010. Management adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2011 was $12.5 million compared to $14.3 million for the first quarter of 2010. Please refer to the "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA and Management Adjusted EBITDA" table attached at the end of this press release for a reconciliation of these measures.
