Cenveo, Inc. today announced results for the three months ended March 30, 2013.
The Company generated net sales of $432.3 million for the three months ended March 30, 2013, compared to $455.6 million for the same period last year. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to lower sales in our print and envelope segment as a result of decreased volumes from our primary print customers due to timing of current year production schedules versus the prior year, a journal plant closure that occurred in the first quarter of the prior year and lower office product envelope sales due to the transition of low margin accounts out of our operating platform. These decreases were partially offset by higher sales from our direct envelope customers due to our initiatives to increase market share. Net sales from our label and packaging segment were relatively flat for the first quarter of 2013 due to our decision to exit low margin business within our packaging platform along with a disruption due to a temporary loss of a press as a result of a fire in one of our packaging facilities, which has been offset largely by our e-commerce initiatives and new account wins in our label business.
Operating income was $13.9 million for the three months ended March 30, 2013, compared to $14.2 million for the same period last year. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to lower sales, higher input costs in smaller raw material categories and inefficiencies related to a press fire in one of our packaging facilities, offset in part by lower restructuring, impairment and other charges. Non-GAAP operating income was $20.4 million for the three months ended March 30, 2013, compared to $31.6 million for the same period last year. A reconciliation of operating income to non-GAAP operating income is presented in the attached tables.
For the three months ended March 30, 2013, the Company had a loss from continuing operations of $19.2 million, or $0.30 per share, compared to a loss of $22.6 million, or $0.36 per share for the same period last year. Non-GAAP loss from continuing operations was $9.2 million, or $0.14 per share, for the three months ended March 30, 2013, as compared to non-GAAP income from continuing operations of $3.3 million, or $0.04 per share, for the same period last year. A reconciliation of loss from continuing operations to non-GAAP (loss) income from continuing operations is presented in the attached tables.
