Proxy Statement for Annual Meeting of Parts I and III Shareholders to be held October 24, 1996 2 PART I Item 1. BUSINESS -------- (a) The Company is a Minnesota corporation, incorporated in 1906. The Company provides products and services that help people celebrate achievement, reward performance, recognize service and commemorate experiences throughout their lives. Products and services include: yearbooks, class rings, graduation products, student photography packages, customized business performance and service awards, sports awards and customized affinity products. In September 1995, the Company repurchased 7,011,108 shares of its common stock, the maximum number of shares allowable for purchase, for $169.3 million through a Modified Dutch Auction tender offer. The repurchase was funded from the Company's cash and short-term investment balance, as well as short-term borrowings. In June 1995, Jostens sold its Jostens Learning Corp. (JLC) curriculum software subsidiary to a group led by Bain Capital, Inc. for $50 million in cash, a $36 million note maturing in eight years and a separate $4 million note convertible into 19 percent of the equity of Jostens Learning, subject to dilution in certain events. The transaction gain of $11.1 million ($5.8 million after tax) was deferred in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 81, Gain Recognition on the Sale of a Business or Operating Assets to a Highly Leveraged Entity. In the second quarter of fiscal 1996, the deferred gain increased as a result of the sale of Wicat Systems ($5.3 million) and some accrual settlements ($800,000). Wicat Systems was the small, computer-based aviation training subsidiary of JLC which was sold to Wicat Acquisition Corp., a private investment group, for $1.5 million in cash plus a promissory note for approximately $150,000. The adjusted $17.2 million gain ($9.7 million after tax) and interest on the notes receivable, will be deferred until cash flows from the operating activities of JLC are sufficient to fund debt service, dividend or any other covenant requirements. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company recorded an $8.5 million restructuring charge ($5.1 million after tax, or 12 cents per share) related to continuing operations, covering headcount reductions in the general and administrative functions. Jostens also recorded a restructuring charge of $60.9 million ($40.2 million after tax, or 88 cents per share) related to JLC, which has been reclassified as part of discontinued operations. The restructuring charge relating to JLC included $39.1 million to focus its product development, $7.3 million to exit both direct and indirect investments in three ancillary lines of business, $4.1 million to exit the hardware sales and service business, and $10.4 million for work-force reductions. In the third quarter of fiscal 1994, the U.S. Photography business closed leased facilities in Clinton, Mississippi, and Lake Forest, California, and transferred production in fiscal 1995 to owned facilities in Webster, New York, and Winnipeg, Manitoba. In the third quarter of fiscal 1995, the U.S. Photography business also closed its Jackson, Mississippi facility, transferring production to Webster, New York, and Winnipeg, Manitoba. 3 In January 1994, Jostens sold its Sportswear business to a subsidiary of Fruit of the Loom for $46.7 million in cash. Jostens recognized an $18.5 million gain ($11 million after tax) on the sale, primarily because the Sportswear business had been written down by $15 million to its then estimated net realizable value. There have been no material changes during fiscal 1996 in the mode in which the Company has conducted its business. (b) The Company's operations are classified into two business segments: school-based recognition products and services (School Products) and longevity and performance recognition products and services for businesses (Recognition). Business segment financial information is in the financial statement footnote "Business Segment Information" on pages 35 and 36 of the 1996 Annual Report to Shareholders. (c) The Company's two business segments sell their products in elementary schools, high schools, colleges and businesses in the 50 United States and some foreign countries through a sales force of approximately 1,125 independent representatives. In fiscal 1995, the Company had a discontinued operation (JLC) which produced educational software for students in kindergarten through grade 12. The JLC discontinued operation included its Wicat subsidiary which was subsequently sold in fiscal 1996. In fiscal 1994, the Company had a discontinued operation (Sportswear), which manufactured and marketed decorated sportswear to retail outlets and schools. 4 SCHOOL PRODUCTS SEGMENT - ----------------------- School Products recognizes individual and group achievement and affiliation primarily in the academic market. School Products comprises five businesses: Printing & Publishing, Jewelry, Graduation Products, U.S. Photography and Jostens Canada. The School Products segment's sales of $595 million in 1996 included these five lines of business and $8.8 million in other sales. Printing & Publishing: Jostens manufactures and sells student-created yearbooks in elementary schools, junior high schools, high schools and colleges. Independent sales representatives work closely with each school's yearbook staff (both students and a faculty adviser), assisting with the planning, editing, layout and printing scheduling until the book is completed. Jostens sales representatives work with the faculty advisers to renew yearbook contracts each year. This business also provides commercial printing of annual reports, brochures, and promotional books and materials. Printing & Publishing contributed approximately 37% of sales volume of this segment in fiscal 1996, 36% in 1995 and 35% in 1994. Jewelry: Jostens manufactures and sells rings representing a graduating class primarily to high school and college students. This product contributed approximately 28% of the sales volume of this segment in fiscal 1996 and 27% in 1995 and 1994. Most schools have only one supplier to its students each year. Rings may be sold through bookstores, other campus stores, retail jewelry stores as well as within the school through temporary order-taking booths. Jostens, through its independent sales representatives, manages the entire process of interacting with the student through ring design, promotion, ordering and presentation to relieve school officials of any administrative burden connected with students purchasing this symbol of achievement. Graduation Products: Jostens manufactures and sells graduation announcements, diplomas and caps and gowns to students and administrators in high schools and colleges. This product group contributed approximately 23%, 24% and 23% of sales to this segment in fiscal years 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Jostens independent sales representatives make calls on schools and sales are taken through temporary order-taking booths. Photography: Jostens U.S. Photography provides student pictures and senior portraits to elementary, junior high and high school students through its sales force and dealer network, which arrange the sittings/shootings at individual schools or in their own studios. This business contributed approximately 4% of sales to this segment in fiscal 1996 and 1995 and 5% in fiscal 1994. Jostens processes the photos at its plants in the U.S. and Canada. Jostens Canada: Jostens is the leader in school photography, yearbooks and class rings in Canada. Approximately 60% of fiscal 1996 sales volume was attributable to school photography. This product group contributed approximately 7% of sales to this segment in fiscal 1996 and 1995 and 8% in fiscal 1994. MARKETS: School Products serves elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, colleges, alumni associations and other organizations in the United States and Canada through approximately 1,025 independent sales representatives. Jostens also maintains an international sales force covering about 50 countries servicing primarily American schools and military installations. 5 PRODUCTS: School products include elementary through college yearbooks, commercial printing, desktop publishing curriculum kits, class rings, graduation caps and gowns, graduation announcements and accessories, diplomas, alumni products, individual and group school pictures, group photographs for youth camps and organizations, and senior graduation portraits. SALES FORCE: The School Products segment markets its products primarily through independent sales representatives. Approximately 450 persons are dedicated to selling class rings and graduation products, 325 to yearbooks and 250 to photography. During 1996, the company was approached by a group of sales representatives seeking changes in their agreements with Jostens. All of the company's sales representatives have similar contractual arrangements, and the company does not anticipate substantial changes to that relationship with the majority of sales representatives. For some of the about 50 representatives who serve the college market, the company anticipates a change in the contract status. These representatives' contracts call for a transition commission to be paid after the representative leaves the business. Historically, these transition payments have been paid by the new sales representative who assumed responsibility for the accounts of the outgoing representative, with Jostens acting as the collection agent. Although the nature of the potential changes to the contractual relationship with the representatives serving the college market is unknown, any change to the current arrangement may result in the company being required to account in the future for these contingent payments as a liability. In the absence of substantial contractual changes, the company does not anticipate any change in the accounting for the contracts with its other independent sales representatives. SEASONALITY: This product segment experiences a strong seasonality concurrent with the school year with 40-50% of full-year sales occurring in the fourth quarter. The business generally requires short-term financing during the course of the fiscal year. COMPETITION: The business of the School Products segment is highly competitive, primarily in the pricing, product development and marketing areas. In the class ring business, the Company has two primary national competitors: Town & Country (Balfour) and Herff Jones, both with distribution methods similar to the Company's. The class ring business is also served through retail jewelry stores, dominated by two companies: Commitment Jewelry Company with two lines (ArtCarved and R. Johns) and Town & Country with one line (Gold Lance). In the Graduation Products business, several national and numerous local and regional competitors offer products similar to those of the Company. Printing & Publishing competition is primarily made up of two national firms (Herff Jones and Taylor Publishing) and one smaller regional firm (Walsworth Publishing). All compete on price, print quality, product offerings and service. Technological offerings in the way of computer based curricula are becoming a more significant market advantage. In the Photography area, the Company competes with Lifetouch, Olan Mills and Herff-Jones, and a variety of regional and locally owned and operated photographers that process product in small batches in the U.S. In Canada, the Company competes with Lifetouch and a variety of regional and locally owned and operated photographers. The Company's strategy for competing with these companies is based on its service and quality. 6 RECOGNITION SEGMENT - ------------------- The Recognition segment helps companies promote and recognize achievement in people's careers. It designs, communicates and administers programs to help customers improve performance and employee service. Jostens provides products and services that reflect achievements in service, sales, quality, productivity, attendance, safety and retirements. It also produces awards for championship team accomplishments and affinity products for associations. This business manufactures and markets a wide variety of products sold primarily to corporations and businesses in the United States and Canada. The products manufactured by Recognition include customized and personalized jewelry, rings, watches and engraved certificates. In addition, this business also remarkets items manufactured by others for incorporation into programs sold to Recognition customers. These products include items supplied by Lenox, Hartmann, Waterman, Kirk Stieff and Oneida. MARKETS: Recognition serves customers from small and mid-size companies to global corporations, professional and amateur sports teams and special interest associations. PRODUCTS: Recognition offers a wide assortment of products and services tailored to the needs of the organization it is serving. For global companies, Jostens customizes programs to meet specific customer needs. Standardized programs, such as New Generation and Reflections, provide small and mid-size companies the same product and service features without complex customization. Recognition enjoys exclusive product and personalization distributor arrangements offering such products as Lenox[TM] luggage for the service award marketplace. SALES FORCE: Recognition sells its products through approximately 100 independent sales representatives who develop programs incorporating Recognition products. COMPETITION: The business of the Recognition segment is highly competitive with a very fragmented and diverse set of competitors. The Recognition business competes primarily with O.C. Tanner and the Robbins Company on a national basis as well as several regional recognition companies. Recognition focuses on service and product offerings in competing with these companies. 7 JOSTENS, INC.--INFORMATION REGARDING ALL BUSINESSES ----------------------------------------------------- BACKORDERS: Because of the nature of the Company's business, generally all orders are filled within a few months from the time of placement. However, the School Products Segment obtains student yearbook contracts in one fiscal year for a significant portion of the yearbooks to be delivered in the next fiscal year. Often the prices of the yearbooks are not established at the time of the order because the content of the books may not have been finalized. Subject to the foregoing qualifications, the Company estimates that as of June 30, 1996, the backlog of orders related to continuing operations was approximately $210 million compared with $231 million a year earlier, primarily related to student yearbooks. The Company expects most of the backlog orders to be confirmed and filled within the current fiscal year. ENVIRONMENTAL: The Company does not believe that compliance with federal, state, and local provisions protecting the environment will have a material affect upon its capital expenditures, earnings, or competitive position. RAW MATERIALS: All of the raw materials used by the Company are available from several sources. Gold is an important raw material and accounted for approximately 9%, 10%, and 9%, respectively, of the Company's cost of products sold in the fiscal years ended June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY: The Company has no patents, licenses, franchises or concessions that are material to the Company as a whole, but does have a number of proprietary trade secrets, trademarks and copyrights that it considers important. In addition, licenses are an important part of certain aspects of the Company's businesses; however, the loss of any license would not have a material affect on the Company's operations. SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS: No material part of any business of the Company depends upon a single customer or very few customers. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS: No material portion of the Company's business is subject to renegotiation of profits or the termination of contracts or subcontracts at the election of the United States Government. EMPLOYEES: At June 30, 1996, the total number of employees of the Company was approximately 6,100 (not including independent sales representatives). Because of seasonal fluctuations and the nature of the business, the number of employees tends to vary. (d) The Company's foreign sales are derived primarily from operations in Canada and the United Kingdom. The accounts and operations of the Company's foreign businesses are not material. Local taxation, import duties, fluctuation in currency exchange rates and restrictions on exportation of currencies are among risks attendant to foreign operations, but these risks are not considered material with respect to the Company's business. The profit margin on foreign sales is approximately the same as the profit margin on domestic sales. 8 Item 2.
