      Adjusted operating income (loss) and adjusted diluted income (loss) per share are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the effect of certain charges and income described below and in the footnotes to the accompanying financial statements.  A reconciliation to the company's GAAP financial results is included in this press release.

      Results for the fourth quarter and full year 2010 and 2009 included certain charges and other items that are not considered indicative of core operating activities.  Fourth quarter 2010 included non-cash pre-tax charges of $11.0 million to impair fixed assets associated with certain of the company's Retail stores in the U.S.; pre-tax income of $2.8 million to adjust previously established reserves for severance and store closures; and pre-tax income of $5.5 million related to the adjustment of a reserve associated with our legacy building materials manufacturing facility near Elma, Washington due to the sale of the facility's equipment and the termination of the lease.  Fourth quarter 2009 results included a non-cash pre-tax impairment charge of $17.6 million related to certain of our Retail stores in the U.S. and Mexico; $9.6 million of severance and other pre-tax charges, principally related to reorganizations of our U.S. and Canadian Contract sales forces and customer fulfillment centers, as well as a reduction of our Retail store staffing; and a $14.9 million tax benefit resulting from the reversal of a reserve associated with industrial revenue bonds that were under appeal with the Internal Revenue Service.

      Adjusted operating income in the fourth quarter of 2010 was $30.8 million, or 1.7% of sales, compared to a loss of $2.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2009.  Adjusted net income available to OfficeMax common shareholders in the fourth quarter of 2010 was $13.8 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $2.3 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2009.

      Contract segment sales decreased 3.6% compared to the prior year period to $913.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 (a decrease of 5.2% on a local currency basis).  This decline reflected a U.S. Contract operations sales decrease of 5.1% and an international Contract operations sales decrease of 0.4% in U.S. dollars (a sales decrease of 5.6% on a local currency basis).

      Contract segment gross profit margin increased to 22.8% in the fourth quarter of 2010 from 21.8% in the fourth quarter of 2009, reflecting improved gross profit margin at both the U.S. and International businesses primarily due to OfficeMax's profitability initiatives.  Contract segment operating, selling and general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased to 20.4% in the fourth quarter of 2010 from 20.3% in the fourth quarter of 2009.  The slight increase was a result of costs associated with growth and profitability initiatives, mostly offset by lower incentive compensation expense.  Contract segment income was $21.6 million, or 2.4% of sales, in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to $14.0 million, or 1.5% of sales, in the fourth quarter of 2009.

      Retail segment sales decreased 1.1% to $852.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to the fourth quarter of 2009, reflecting a same-store sales decrease of 0.7%.  A modest decline in same-store sales in the U.S. was mostly offset by stronger sales in Mexico.  

      Retail segment gross profit margin increased to 27.8% in the fourth quarter of 2010 from 27.3% in the fourth quarter of 2009, primarily due to reduced inventory shrinkage, occupancy and freight expense.  Retail segment operating, selling and general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to 25.6% in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to 28.1% in the fourth quarter of 2009 primarily due to lower incentive compensation and benefits related expenses, partially offset by costs associated with growth and profitability initiatives.  Retail segment income was $18.9 million, or 2.2% of sales, in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to a loss of $6.8 million, or 0.8% of sales, in the fourth quarter of 2009.

      OfficeMax ended 2010 with a total of 997 Retail stores, consisting of 918 Retail stores in the U.S. and 79 Retail stores in Mexico.  During the fourth quarter of 2010, OfficeMax opened one Retail store in Mexico and closed two Retail stores in the U.S.  For the full year 2010, OfficeMax opened two Retail stores in Mexico and closed 15 Retail stores in the U.S.

      Corporate and Other Segment Results

      The Corporate and Other segment includes support staff services and certain other expenses that are not fully allocated to the Retail and Contract segments.  Corporate and Other segment operating, selling and general and administrative expenses was $9.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to $9.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2009.

      Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

      As of December 25, 2010 OfficeMax had total debt of $275.0 million, excluding $1,470 million of non-recourse debt related to timber securitization notes that have recourse limited to the timber installment notes receivable and related guarantees.

      During the full year 2010, OfficeMax generated $88.1 million of cash provided by operations, net of $44.4 million of payment of loans against company-owned life insurance policies as well as $72.4 million of increased working capital primarily from higher international inventories and the timing of payments and obligations.

      OfficeMax invested $43.4 million for capital expenditures in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to $14.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. For the full year 2010, OfficeMax invested $93.5 million for capital expenditures compared to $38.3 million in 2009.

      Bruce Besanko, EVP, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Administrative Officer of OfficeMax, said, "To date in 2011, we have experienced a variety of challenges for our business including adverse weather conditions, heightened promotional activity, and a lack of favorable economic conditions, and we anticipate that some of these challenges may persist.  As a result, we are being cautious in our outlook for the year and will continue to be disciplined in our expense and cash flow management to maintain our strong financial foundation."

      Based on these trends, OfficeMax anticipates that for the first quarter, total company sales will be lower than the prior year's first quarter, including the favorable impact of foreign currency translation, and the adjusted operating income margin rate will be significantly lower than the prior year's first quarter.  For the full year 2011, OfficeMax anticipates that total company sales will be flat, to slightly higher than, 2010, including the favorable impact of foreign currency translation and the benefit of a 53rd week, and the adjusted operating income margin rate will be in line with, to slightly lower than, the prior year.

      The company's outlook also includes the following assumptions for the full year 2011:

      • Capital expenditures of approximately $100 million, primarily related to technology, ecommerce, and infrastructure investments and upgrades
      • Depreciation & amortization of approximately $85-95 million
      • Pension expense of approximately $7-12 million
      • Interest expense of approximately $72-77 million and interest income of approximately $41-44 million
      • Effective tax rate approximately in line with the effective tax rate in 2010
      • Cash flow from operations in line with, or slightly higher than capital expenditures
      • Reduction in Retail store count for the year with approximately 15 planned store closures in the U.S., and approximately 5 store openings in Mexico.

      Mr. Saligram added, "Given the uncertainty of the economic environment, we will continue in the near term to remain focused on leveraging the company's strength in cost control and improving gross margin.  However, we are simultaneously evolving the organization to a growth-orientated mind set and putting in place building blocks needed to enable growth and create a well-differentiated company."

      (a)  Fourth quarters of 2010 and 2009 include non-cash charges of $11.0 million and $17.6 million, respectively, to impair fixed assets associated with certain of our Retail stores in the U.S. and Mexico (2009 only). These charges reduced net income (loss) by $6.7 million and $10.0 million, or $0.08 and $0.12 per diluted share, for 2010 and 2009 respectively.

      (b)  Fourth quarter of 2010 includes income of $2.8 million to adjust previously established reserves for severance and store closures as well as income of $5.5 million related to the adjustment of a reserve associated with our legacy building materials manufacturing facility near Elma, Washington due to the sale of the facility's equipment and the termination of the lease. These items increased net income by $5.0 million, or $0.06 per diluted share. Fourth quarter of 2009 includes $9.6 million of severance and other charges, principally related to reorganizations of our U.S. and Canadian Contract sales forces and customer fulfillment centers, as well as a streamlining of our Retail store staffing. These items reduced net income (loss) by $5.9 million, or $0.07 per diluted share.

      (c) Fourth quarter of 2009 includes a release of $14.9 million in tax uncertainty reserves related to the deductibility of interest on certain of its industrial revenue bonds. This item increased net income (loss) by $0.18 per diluted share.

      (a)  Fourth quarters of 2010 and 2009 include non-cash charges of $11.0 million and $17.6 million, respectively, to impair fixed assets associated with certain of our Retail stores in the U.S.and Mexico (2009 only). These charges reduced net income (loss) by $6.7 million and $10.0 million, or $0.08 and $0.12 per diluted share, for 2010 and 2009 respectively.

      (b)  Fourth quarter of 2010 includes income of $2.8 million to adjust previously established reserves for severance and store closures as well as income of $5.5 million related to the adjustment of a reserve associated with our legacy building materials manufacturing facility near Elma, Washington due to the sale of the facility's equipment and the termination of the lease. These items increased net income by $5.0 million, or $0.06 per diluted share. Fourth quarter of 2009 includes $9.6 million of severance and other charges, principally related to reorganizations of our U.S. and Canadian Contract sales forces and customer fulfillment centers, as well as a streamlining of our Retail store staffing. These items reduced net income (loss) by $5.9 million, or $0.07 per diluted share.

      (c) Fourth quarter of 2009 includes a release of $14.9 million in tax uncertainty reserves related to the deductibility of interest on certain of its industrial revenue bonds. This item increased net income (loss) by $0.18 per diluted share.

      Note:  Management evaluates the segments’ performances using segment income (loss) which is based on operating income (loss) after eliminating the effect of certain operating items that are not indicative of our core operations such as severances, facility closures and adjustments, and asset impairments. These certain operating items are reported on the asset impairments and the other operating expenses lines in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.



      Reconciliation of non-GAAP Measures to GAAP Measures

      In addition to assessing our operating performance as reported under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we evaluate our results of operations before non-operating legacy items and operating items that are not indicative of our core operating activities such as severance, facility closure (including adjustments to legacy reserves), and asset impairments.  We believe our presentation of financial measures before, or excluding, these items, which are non-GAAP measures, enhances our investors' overall understanding of our recurring operational performance and provides useful information to both investors and management to evaluate the ongoing operations and prospects of OfficeMax by providing better comparisons.  Whenever we use non-GAAP financial measures, we designate these measures as "adjusted" and provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most closely applicable GAAP financial measure.  Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.  In the preceding tables, we reconcile our non-GAAP financial measures to our reported GAAP financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2010 and 2009.

      Although we believe the non-GAAP financial measures enhance an investor's understanding of our performance, our management does not itself, nor does it suggest that investors should, consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.  The non-GAAP financial measures we use may not be consistent with the presentation of similar companies in our industry.  However, we present such non-GAAP financial measures in reporting our financial results to provide investors with an additional tool to evaluate our operating results in a manner that focuses on what we believe to be our ongoing business operations.
