Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On January 14, 2013, the Company issued a press release confirming certain previously issued guidance regarding the Company's financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. Attached as Exhibit 99.1 is a copy of the press release, which is incorporated herein by reference. Based on preliminary results, the Company also expects 2012 pro forma sales to be close to the guidance previously issued in connection with its third quarter 2012 earnings release.
The information contained or incorporated by reference in this Current Report on Form 8-K under Item 2.02 is being furnished and shall not be deemed "filed" for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information contained or incorporated by reference in this Current Report under Item 2.02 shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Item 2.02 contains statements which may constitute "forward-looking" statements
as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties,
are made as of the date hereof and the Company assumes no obligation to update
them. The Company's ability to predict results or the actual effect of future
plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Because actual results may differ
from those predicted by such forward-looking statements, you should not place
undue reliance on them when deciding to buy, sell or hold the Company's
securities. Among the factors that could cause the Company's plans, actions and
results to differ materially from current expectations are: fluctuations in the
cost and availability of raw materials; competition within the markets in which
the Company operates; the effects of both general and extraordinary economic,
political and social conditions, including any volatility and disruption in the
capital and credit markets; the Company's continued ability to access the
capital and credit markets; the liquidity and solvency of its major customers;
the effect of consolidation in the office products industry; the dependence of
the Company on certain suppliers of manufactured products; the risk that
targeted cost savings and synergies from business combinations may not be fully
realized or take longer to realize than expected; future goodwill and/or
impairment charges; foreign exchange rate fluctuations; the development,
introduction and acceptance of new products; the degree to which higher raw
material costs and freight and distribution costs can be passed on to customers
through selling price increases and the effect on sales volumes as a result
thereof; increases in health care, pension and other employee welfare costs; the
risk that anticipated cost savings, growth opportunities and other financial and
operating benefits as a result of the Company's recent acquisition of the
MeadWestvaco's Consumer & Office Products Business may not be realized or may
take longer to realize than expected; the risk that benefits from the Company's
acquisition of MeadWestvaco's Consumer & Office Products Business may be
significantly offset by costs incurred in integrating the companies; potential
adverse impacts from incurring additional indebtedness in connection with the
Company's acquisition of MeadWestvaco's Consumer & Office Products Business; and
potential difficulties in connection with the process of integrating
MeadWestvaco's Consumer & Office Products Business with the Company, which
potential difficulties include, but are not limited to, coordinating
geographically separate organizations, integrating business cultures, which
could prove to be incompatible, difficulties and costs of integrating
information technology systems, and potential difficulty in retaining key
officers and personnel. These and other risks are more fully described under
"Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2011, and "Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors" in its
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, and in other
reports the Company files with the SEC.
