For Immediate Release
Bowne & Co. Announces 2004 Results
Current Momentum in Capital Market Activity Viewed with Optimism
NEW YORK, February 17, 2005– Bowne & Co., Inc. (NYSE: BNE) today announced net earnings for 2004 of $27.5 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, versus a net loss of $7.7 million, or $0.23 per share, for 2003. For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2004, net earnings were $20.1 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, versus a net loss of $3.0 million, or $0.09 per share, for the same period in 2003. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2004 were $899 million, up 6.1% from $847.6 million reported for 2003. Fourth quarter 2004 revenues of $210.4 million compared to $196.2 million in 2003. These results include the net gain of $31.6 million on the sale of Bowne Business Solutions (BBS) and reflect BBS as a discontinued operation.
Excluding the impact of the gain and the expenses related to the sale of BBS, restructuring charges, loss on extinguishment of debt, a litigation settlement, and the write-off of certain deferred tax assets, 2004 pro forma earnings per share was $0.37 as compared to a pro forma earnings per share of $0.31 in 2003. For the fourth quarter, the pro forma loss per share was $0.07 in 2004, as compared to 2003 pro forma earnings per share of $0.08. (See attached Pro Forma Supplemental Income Information for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to our consolidated statements of operations.)
“We believe our improving performance in 2004 has set the stage for a strong 2005,” said Bowne Chief Executive Officer Philip E. Kucera. “Despite a fourth quarter that did not meet our expectations, we are optimistic about 2005, especially with the recent up tick in large M&A transactions. Our strategy remains focused on our core Financial Print business.”
David J. Shea, Bowne President and Chief Operating Officer, said, “In 2004, we were awarded six of the top ten M&A deals announced. Concerning BGS, the 2004 results were not in line with our original plans, as the expected rebound in spending by the IT sector failed to materialize as significant projects were delayed until 2005. We took action in the fourth quarter to rebalance our cost structure within BGS. The cost savings from these expense reductions, as well as a strong revenue backlog, will help us achieve our targets for 2005.”

Segment Information
Information regarding the operations of each business segment is set forth below. Performance is evaluated based on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is segment profit. Segment profit is defined as gross margin (revenue less cost of revenue) less selling and administrative expenses. Segment performance is evaluated exclusive of interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, certain shared corporate expenses, restructuring, integration and asset impairment charges, gain on sale of subsidiary and building, loss on extinguishment of debt, other expenses and other income. Therefore, this information is presented in order to reconcile to income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes. The Corporate/Other category includes (i) results for the litigation support services business, (ii) corporate expenses for shared administrative, legal, finance and other support services which are not directly attributable to the operating segments, (iii) restructuring, integration and asset impairment charges, and (iv) other expenses and income.
In November 2004, the Company sold its document outsourcing business to Williams Lea. The results from this business are not included in the segment results presented below. The results for the litigation support services business which historically has been presented in the outsourcing segment are now included in the Corporate/Other category. Segment information for the prior periods has been reclassified to reflect this presentation.
