ARC REPORTS RESULTS FOR SECOND QUARTER 2011

WALNUT CREEK, California (August 4, 2011) – ARC (NYSE:ARC), one of the nation’s leading document solutions companies, today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011.

“It is clear that macro-economic conditions have stalled the U.S. economic recovery. Given current market sentiment, we must assume that the recovery will remain challenged for the rest of the year,” said K. “Suri” Suriyakumar, Chairman, President and CEO of ARC. “While the outlook for the AEC industry is weak in the near term, ARC’s performance remains strong.”

Mr. Suriyakumar noted that despite the lack of demand in the marketplace, ARC’s gross margin experienced a sequential improvement from 31.3% in the first quarter to 32.6% in the second quarter, and adjusted net income for the period was $0.2 million or $0.00 per diluted share, a meaningful improvement over the adjusted loss of $0.05 per diluted share in the first quarter. He also pointed out that the sequential revenue increase of $3.1 million in the second quarter produced an even greater adjusted EBITDA increase of $3.4 million in the same period, and that sequential adjusted EBITDA margin increased from 13.9% in the first quarter to 16.7% in the second quarter. “This clearly demonstrates that the steps we are taking to reduce costs and reorganize the management of the company have gained immediate traction. We will continue to restructure the organization until we optimize our operational and management structure for the current size of the market, and for the ongoing technology transition occurring in our industry.”

Net revenue for the second quarter of 2011 was $109.6 million. ARC’s net loss for the second quarter was $84.6 million or a loss of $1.87 per diluted share, primarily due to the recording of a goodwill impairment charge in the amount of $23.3 million and a deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $64.3 million. Excluding these non-cash charges, as well as the previously-disclosed accelerated amortization related to trade names and interest rate swap-related items, adjusted net income for the second quarter was $0.2 million or $0.00 per diluted share. Quarterly cash from operating activities for the period ending June 30, 2011 was $7.3 million.

Net revenue for the first six months of 2011 was $216.1 million. The Company’s gross margin was 32.0% for the same period. ARC’s net loss for the first six months of 2011 was $88.3 million, or a loss of $1.95 per diluted share, caused primarily by the non-cash charges mentioned above. Excluding these non-cash charges, ARC’s adjusted net loss for the first six months of 2011 was $1.9 million, or a loss of $0.04 per diluted share. Cash from operating activities for the same period was $11.9 million.

As noted in the first quarter, ARC continues to restructure its business operations to meet the changing needs of the marketplace. By reorganizing operations, addressing selective staff reductions, and reducing the size of its branch network outside of major metropolitan markets, the Company’s efforts are currently expected to yield annualized savings of approximately $26 million, and realized savings of approximately $17 million in 2011.

Goodwill Impairment and Deferred Tax Valuation Allowance

In the second quarter, ARC recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $23.3 million and a deferred tax asset valuation allowance of approximately $64.3 million.

On June 30, 2011, the Company felt that there were sufficient indicators to trigger an interim goodwill impairment analysis. The indicators included: (1) the current economic environment; (2) the performance against plan of reporting units which previously had goodwill impairment; and (3) revised forecasted future earnings. The results of the Company’s analysis indicated that six of its reporting units, all of which are located in the United States, had a goodwill impairment, and the Company recorded a pretax, non-cash charge for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 to reduce the carrying value of goodwill by $23.3 million.

The deferred tax asset valuation assessment is a GAAP-accounting triggered event caused by goodwill impairments and other charges the Company has taken over the past three years. The effect of the assessment resulted in a reserve of $64.3 million against certain deferred tax assets on ARC’s balance sheet. The valuation allowance represents a non-cash tax expense on our Statement of Operations. The deferred tax assets remain available to the Company for use in future profitable quarters.

Outlook

In the face of weak macro-economic drivers and the resulting prolonged weakness in the AEC market, the Company revised its 2011 annual adjusted EPS forecast to a range of $(0.02) to $0.05 on a fully-diluted basis from its previous forecast of a range of $0.01 to $0.15, and projected annual cash flow from operating activities in the range of $35 million to $50 million, down from a range of $40 million to $60 million.

Non-GAAP Financial 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 flows 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 $1.8 million and $3.3 million of stock-based compensation expense recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. Amortization does not include $1.5 million and $2.9 million of stock-based compensation expense recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, 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 debt and taxation which are managed at the corporate level for U.S. operating segments. As a result, EBIT is the best measure of operating segment 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 segment-level compensation and we use EBITDA to measure performance for determining consolidated-level compensation. In addition, we also use EBIT and EBITDA to evaluate potential acquisitions and potential 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 2011 second quarter report on Form 10-Q. Additionally, please refer to our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our presentation of adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA over certain periods is an attempt to provide meaningful comparisons to our historical performance for our existing and future investors. The unprecedented changes in our end markets over the past several years have required us to take measures that are unique in our history and specific to individual circumstances. Comparisons inclusive of these actions make normal financial and other performance patterns difficult to discern under a strict GAAP presentation. Each non-GAAP presentation, however, is explained in detail in the reconciliation tables above.

Specifically, we have presented adjusted net income (loss) attributable to ARC and adjusted earnings (loss) per share attributable to ARC shareholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 to reflect the exclusion of the goodwill impairment charge, amortization impact related to the change in useful lives of trade names, interest rate swap related costs, the valuation allowance related to certain deferred tax assets and other discrete tax items. This presentation facilitates a meaningful comparison of our operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. We believe these charges were the result of the current macroeconomic environment, our capital restructuring, or other items which are not indicative of our actual operating performance.

We presented adjusted EBITDA in the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 to exclude the non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $23.3 million (which was taken at the end of the second quarter), and stock-based compensation expense of $1.8 million and $3.3 million, respectively. We presented adjusted EBITDA in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 to exclude stock-based compensation expense of $1.5 million and $2.9 million, respectively. We believe that the goodwill impairment charge was a result of the current macroeconomic environment and not indicative of our operations. The exclusion of the goodwill impairment charges and stock-based compensation expense to arrive at adjusted EBITDA is consistent with the definition of adjusted EBITDA in our previous and current credit agreements; therefore, we believe this information is useful to investors in assessing our ability to meet our debt covenants.
