Use the FINC615 Library Guide?to search for two other companies in the same industry as Apix Printing.

When you get to work the next day, you see the following e-mail from Mary:

Here is the list of financial ratios you asked for. I need you to explain the computation of each and compute these for Apix?s results for the financial statements you are using for the PowerPoint presentation. Also, compare Apix?s 2-year trend results to that of two other firms in the sector. Indicate how each of Apix?s ratios differ, and indicate whether the two other companies? ratios or Apix?s ratios are indicative of better performance.

Explain the computation for each of the following, and compute each for Apix and two other companies in the same industry as Apix Printing:

  • Current ratio
  • (Long-term) debt to equity ratio
  • Gross margin percentage
  • Net profit margin percentage
  • Return on equity percentage

Company Description

Operations
Quad’s two principal segments are United States Print & Related Services (USP) and International. A small
Corporate segment holds unallocated general and administrative expenses.
The USP segment provides around 90% of the company’s revenue. It consists of Quad’s printing operations for
retail inserts, publications, catalogs, special interest publications, journals, direct mail, books, directories, in-
store marketing and promotion, packaging, newspapers, custom print products, and other commercial and
specialty printed products. Also allocated to the USP segment are Quad’s marketing services, which include
marketing strategy, media planning and placement, data insights, segmentation, analytics, creative services,
and digital publishing. USP also manufactures ink.
Quad’s International segment consists of its printing operations in Europe and Latin America as well as
investments in printing operations in Brazil and India. The International segment accounts for the remaining 10%
of the company’s net sales.

Financial Performance
Quad’s revenue has been fluctuating for the past five years. It has an overall decline of 15% ($673.7 million). Its
net loss has a five-year improvement of 76%. In 2019 the company’s revenue dipped by $62.4 million, a 2%
change from the previous year.
Its net income of $7.9 million in 2018, declined by $164.2 million to a net loss of $156.3 in 2019.
Quad’s cash on hand grew $9.2 million during 2019, ending the year at $78.7 million. The company’s
operations generated $155.5 million, offset by $208.1 million used in its investing activities. Financing activities
generated $61.8 million.

Geographic Reach
Wisconsin-based Quad operates more than 140 facilities in about 15 countries across North America, South
America, Europe, and Asia. The company has investments in printing operations in Brazil and India. Quad
generates about 90% of its sales from its home market of the US.

Mergers and Acquisitions
In early 2020, Quad/Graphics, Inc. acquired Apple Tree Group, a strategic and creative agency specializing in
point-of-sale advertising innovation for some of the world’s best-known brands. The acquisition strengthens
Quad’s one-of-a-kind integrated marketing solutions offering that helps brand owners and retailers reduce
complexity, enhance process efficiencies and improve marketing spend effectiveness across all media channels.

Sales and Marketing
Quad’s clients include industry-leading blue chip companies that operate in a wide range of industries and serve
both businesses and consumers. It also serves retailers, publishers, direct marketers, and companies from the
retail, financial/insurance, healthcare, consumer packaged goods, publishing and direct-to-consumer. Quad’s
ten largest clients account for about 15% of sales.

Strategy
Quad’s strategic priorities are as follows:
The Company encourages all employees, regardless of job title, to walk in the shoes of clients by putting a
priority on listening to clients’ needs and challenges, doing what they can to make it easy to work with Quad,
and making the client experience enjoyable at every touchpoint.
The Company creates more value than the traditional agency approach that operates in silos and is focused on
profit by individual media channel. The Company calls this transformation Quad 3.0. With this, Quad’s unique
integrated marketing platform removes the complexity Quad’s clients face when working with multiple agency
partners and vendors, eliminating multiple handoffs that compromise both the strategy of programs as well as
the speed at which they are executed.
