LSC Communications Expands Relationship with Workman Publishing to Include End-to-End Order-to-Cash & Digital Content Management Services

LSC Communications (NYSE: LKSD) announced today a multi-year agreement with Workman Publishing that renews and expands the companies’ relationship. In addition to renewing its printing, warehousing, fulfillment and distribution services, LSC will provide Workman with end-to-end Order-to-Cash (“OTC”) services. LSC’s OTC platform includes customer service, order and credit management, invoicing, cash application, and dispute resolution, as well as sales and inventory analysis reporting. Workman will also join LSC’s digital content management platform Harvest, which provides publishers with opportunities to increase ebook sales through online marketplace monitoring, sales analysis & keyword generation.

The relationship between Workman and LSC goes back more than forty years. Since 1973, LSC (originally through Banta/RR Donnelley) has been Workman’s largest print vendor, responding with tremendous creativity to Workman’s needs for unusual formats and display ideas. In 1978 it also became Workman’s warehousing and distribution partner.

“LSC has been an invaluable partner of Workman Publishing almost from the beginning, and we are very excited to renew and grow our relationship,” said Dan Reynolds, CEO of Workman Publishing. “Looking forward, LSC’s Order-to-Cash and digital content management services will be critical to our remaining competitive and self-reliant in the marketplace.”

“We are proud to have earned the opportunity to expand our valued relationship with Workman Publishing,” noted Dave McCree, President of LSC’s Book and Directory businesses. “The significant investments we’ve made within our Publisher Services business provide clients, like Workman, the benefits of order transaction efficiency, improved working capital, and the potential for increased sales. LSC’s commitment to the Book Publishing industry has never been stronger as we continue to focus on developing value-added supply-chain solutions that align with our clients’ business requirements.”

Idealliance’s Andrew Paparozzi on 2018 Commercial Printing Industry Outlook and How It’s Being Redefined

Idealliance expects commercial printing industry sales (all sources) to grow 1.5% to 3.0% in 2018, after growing approximately 1.0% in 2017. Where in that range the industry finishes will depend largely on the strength of the American economy which, in turn, will depend on the size and efficiency of the stimulus Washington delivers. A weak package will mean a finish toward the bottom of the range, and a strong package a finish toward the top. If Washington really comes through, we may have to do something we haven’t done in years: revise a forecast up. Print enters 2018 with sales of approximately $84.0 billion, 9.1% above the 2011 low, but still 14.6% below the 2007 pre-Great Recession level. Diversification continues. Participants in the Idealliance “State of the Industry, 15th Edition” report expect, on average, something other than printing (mailing, fulfillment, database management, marketing services, Web service, etc.) to provide 31.6% of their revenue in 2018, up from just 13.3% in 2012.
