      NAPERVILLE, Ill., Feb. 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --OfficeMax® Incorporated (NYSE: OMX), a leader in office supplies, technology and services, today announced the results for its fiscal fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2011.  Total sales were $1,835.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, an increase of 3.9% from the fourth quarter of 2010, while total sales for the full year 2011 decreased 0.4% to $7,121.2 million compared to the full year 2010.  For the fourth quarter of 2011, OfficeMax reported net income available to OfficeMax common shareholders of $2.9 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to $12.1 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2010.  For the full year 2011, OfficeMax reported net income available to OfficeMax common shareholders of $32.8 million, or $0.38 per diluted share.

      Results for the fourth quarter and the full year 2011 included one additional week of operation in the U.S. compared to fourth quarter and full year 2010. Total sales in the additional week were approximately $86 million, which resulted in incremental operating income of approximately $8 million and $.06 of earnings per diluted share to both the fourth quarter and full year 2011, generated primarily in the Retail Segment.

      "We closed out a challenging 2011 by continuing to streamline our operations and strengthen the core business," said Ravi Saligram, President and CEO of OfficeMax.  "We are making progress in executing the strategic plan we announced in November."

      Adjusted operating income and adjusted diluted income per share are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the effect of certain charges and income described 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 2011 and 2010 included certain charges and other items that are not considered indicative of core operating activities.  Fourth quarter 2011 included non-cash pre-tax charges of $11.2 million to impair fixed assets associated with certain of the company's Retail stores in the U.S. and pre-tax severance charges of $6.6 million related primarily to employee restructurings in Canada, the U.S. and Australia.  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.

      Excluding the items described above, adjusted operating income in the fourth quarter of 2011 was $30.4 million, or 1.7% of sales, compared to $30.8 million, or 1.7% of sales, in the fourth quarter of 2010.  Adjusted net income available to OfficeMax common shareholders in the fourth quarter of 2011 was $14.5 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to $13.8 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2010.

      Contract segment sales of $934.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 increased 2.3% (an increase of 2.1% on a local currency basis) compared to the prior year period.  This increase reflected a U.S. Contract operations sales increase of 5.3% and an international Contract operations sales decrease of 4.0% in U.S. dollars (a decrease of 4.8% on a local currency basis).  The U.S. Contract sales increase primarily reflects the additional week.  

      Contract segment sales in the additional week were approximately $35 million. Excluding the additional week, Contract segment sales in the fourth quarter decreased 1.5% (a decrease of 1.7% on a local currency basis) compared to the prior year.  Excluding the additional week, U.S. Contract operations sales decreased 0.2% and international Contract operations sales decreased 4.8% on a local currency basis. The U.S. Contract performance reflects weaker sales to existing corporate accounts partially offset by sales to new customers exceeding lost sales to former customers.

      Contract segment gross profit margin decreased to 22.2% in the fourth quarter of 2011 from 22.8% in the fourth quarter of 2010 due to increased delivery expense as a result of higher fuel costs and lower customer margins.  Contract segment operating, selling and general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to 19.2% in the fourth quarter of 2011 from 20.5% in the fourth quarter of 2010 primarily due to lower incentive compensation expense and lower advertising expense.  Contract segment income was $28.0 million, or 3.0% of sales, in the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to $21.6 million, or 2.4% of sales, in the fourth quarter of 2010.

      Retail segment sales increased 5.7% to $901.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to the fourth quarter of 2010, reflecting a same-store sales increase of 0.2%.  Strong same-store sales in Mexico were partially offset by a slight decline in same-store sales in the U.S.  Retail segment sales in the additional week were approximately $52 million.

      Retail segment gross profit margin decreased to 26.9% in the fourth quarter of 2011 from 27.8% in the fourth quarter of 2010 primarily due to increased promotional activity to drive Holiday season traffic, inventory markdowns, and the impact of higher fuel costs, partially offset by leveraging of occupancy costs.  Retail segment operating, selling and general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were 25.5% in the fourth quarter of 2011 compared with 25.6% in the fourth quarter of 2010.  Retail segment income was $13.2 million, or 1.4% of sales, in the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to $18.9 million, or 2.2% of sales, in the fourth quarter of 2010.

      OfficeMax ended 2011 with a total of 978 Retail stores, consisting of 896 Retail stores in the U.S. and 82 Retail stores in Mexico.  For the full year 2011, OfficeMax Retail closed 22 stores in the U.S., and opened 5 stores and closed 2 stores in Mexico.

      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 $10.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to $9.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2010.  

      Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

      As of December 31, 2011 OfficeMax had total debt of $268.2 million, excluding $1,470.0 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 2011, OfficeMax generated $53.7 million of cash provided by operations.  OfficeMax invested $28.1 million for capital expenditures in the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to $43.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2010.  For the full year 2011, OfficeMax invested $69.6 million for capital expenditures compared to $93.5 million in 2010.

      Outlook

      Bruce Besanko, EVP, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Administrative Officer of OfficeMax, said, "Sales trends improved in the fourth quarter but remain soft.  Consequently, we will continue to streamline our cost structure, enabling us to make strategic investments in initiatives that will jump start growth."

      Based on the current environment, OfficeMax anticipates that total company sales for the first quarter will be flat as compared to the first quarter of 2011, including the impact of foreign currency translation.  For the full year 2012, OfficeMax anticipates that total company sales will be flat to slightly higher than the prior year, including the projected favorable impact of foreign currency translation in 2012 and excluding the additional week in 2011.  Additionally, OfficeMax anticipates that for the first quarter and full year adjusted operating income margin rate will be approximately in line with the 1.7% rate for the respective prior year periods.

      The company's outlook also includes the following assumptions for the full year 2012:

      • Capital expenditures of approximately $75-100 million, primarily related to IT, ecommerce, and infrastructure investments and upgrades
      • Depreciation & amortization of approximately $75-85 million
      • Pension expense of approximately $3 million and cash contributions to the frozen pension plans of approximately $30 million
      • Interest expense of approximately $68-73 million and interest income of approximately $41-45 million
      • An effective tax rate approximately in line with the effective tax rate in the full year 2011
      • Cash flow from operations exceeding capital expenditures
      • A net reduction in Retail store count for the year with up to 35 store closures and 1-2 store openings in the U.S., as well as 8-9 store openings and 1-2 store closures in Mexico.

      (a)  Fourth quarters of 2011 and 2010 include non-cash charges of $11.2 million and $11.0 million, respectively, to impair fixed assets associated with certain Retail stores in the U.S. These charges reduced net income by $6.8 million and $6.7 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for both 2011 and 2010.

      (b)  Fourth quarter of 2011 includes $6.6 million of severance charges, $6.0 million in Contract related to restructuring in Australia, Canada and New Zealand and $0.6 million in Corporate.

      (a)  Fourth quarters of 2011 and 2010 include non-cash charges of $11.2 million and $11.0 million, respectively, to impair fixed assets associated with certain Retail stores in the U.S. These charges reduced net income by $6.8 million and $6.7 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for both 2011 and 2010.

      (b)  Fourth quarter of 2011 includes $6.6 million of severance charges, $6.0 million in Contract related to restructuring in Australia, Canada and New Zealand and $0.6 million in Corporate. These items reduced net income by $4.7 million, or $0.05 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2011.  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 for the fourth quarter of 2010.

      Note:  Management evaluates the segments' performances using segment income which is based on operating income 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 other operating expenses, net line 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 and adjustments, 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 of 2011 and 2010.

      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.
