AMERICAN REPROGRAPHICS COMPANY REPORTS RESULTS FOR SECOND QUARTER 2009

• EPS of $0.14 per share

• Quarterly Cash from Operating Activities of $33.5 million

• Gross Margin of 37.5%

• Company reaffirms forecast

WALNUT CREEK, California (August 6, 2009) — American Reprographics Company (NYSE: ARP) (the “Company”), the nation’s leading provider of reprographic services and technology, today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009.

“Our performance was very strong under extraordinary economic circumstances,” said K. “Suri” Suriyakumar, Chairman, President and CEO. “We protected our profits and cash flow despite the obvious challenges we encountered during the period, and I remain confident in our ability to protect them in the future. Over the past nine months, we’ve made significant changes to improve sales management, eliminate overhead, reduce our labor costs, and streamline reporting and administrative functions to keep the management team tightly focused on both the opportunities and challenges we face on a day-to-day basis. Those efforts are clearly paying off as demonstrated by our improvement in gross margins and the continuing strength of our cash position.”

Net revenue for the second quarter of 2009 was $131.1 million. The Company’s gross margin was 37.5% for the three-month period ending June 30, 2009. Net income for the second quarter of 2009 was $6.3 million, or $0.14 per diluted share.

Net revenue for the first six months of 2009 was $270.5 million. The Company’s gross margin was 37.4% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2009. Net income for the first six months of 2009 was $13.8 million, or $0.31 per diluted share.

Jonathan Mather, Chief Financial Officer, said, “While we saw a continuing slide in revenues during the period, the decrease was not as steep as the two previous quarters, and our gross margins continue to show incremental improvement despite the difficult sales environment. We made additional progress in our cost savings programs and eliminated an additional $8.6 million in costs for 2009, and also exercised our strong cash flow by paying down at the Company’s discretion, an additional $10.7 million of capital lease debt during the period. In addition, I’m happy to report that the environment for amending our

debt agreements is more favorable today than we’ve seen in the recent past. In order to increase our flexibility regarding the financial covenants associated with our credit facility, we have begun discussions with our banks to review our present requirements.”

Outlook

The Company reaffirmed its EPS forecast of $0.50 to $0.75 on a fully-diluted basis, projecting cash flow from operations in the range of $70 million to $90 million.

Non-GAAP Measures

EBIT, EBITDA and related ratios presented in this report are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by or presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These measures are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, income from operations, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flow from operating, investing or financing activities as a measure of our liquidity.

EBIT represents net income before interest and taxes. EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Amortization does not include $1.2 million and $1.1 million of stock based compensation expense, for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $2.2 million and $2.0 million of stock based compensation expense, for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. EBIT margin is a non-GAAP measure calculated by dividing EBIT by net sales. EBITDA margin is a non-GAAP measure calculated by dividing EBITDA by net sales.

We present EBIT, EBITDA and related ratios because we consider them important supplemental measures of our performance and liquidity. We believe investors may also find these measures meaningful, given how our management makes use of them. The following is a discussion of our use of these measures.

We use EBIT and EBITDA to measure and compare the performance of our operating segments. Our operating segments’ financial performance includes all of the operating activities except for debt and taxation which are managed at the corporate level for U.S. operating segments. As a result, EBIT is the best measure of divisional profitability and the most useful metric by which to measure and compare the performance of our operating segments. We also use EBIT to measure performance for determining operating division-level compensation and use EBITDA to measure performance for determining consolidated-level compensation. We also use EBIT and EBITDA to evaluate potential acquisitions and to evaluate whether to incur capital expenditures.

EBIT, EBITDA and related ratios have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are as follows:

• They do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures and contractual commitments;

• They do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

• They do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary, to service interest or principal payments on our debt;

• Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and

• Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

Because of these limitations, EBIT, EBITDA, and related ratios should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in business growth or to reduce our indebtedness. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using EBIT, EBITDA and related ratios only as supplements. For more information, see our interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes on our 2009 second quarter report on Form 10-Q. Additionally, please refer to our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
