Deluxe Reports Solid Second Quarter 2020 Performance

“Deluxe delivered stronger than expected second quarter performance. Our cash flow from operations exceeded last year’s quarterly performance, enabling us to pay down $100 million on the revolving credit facility in July, and declare our regular dividend. Our reported revenue partially recovered from the April low, declining $84 million for the second quarter as compared to last year. We believe the company continued its historic sales-driven revenue growth from the first quarter, excluding our estimate of COVID-19 impact. GAAP margins stabilized and Adjusted EBITDA margins rebounded to our pre-COVID-19 range,” said Barry McCarthy, President & CEO of Deluxe. “Our sales-driven ‘One Deluxe’ transformation is working too. We signed 4 of our top 25 prospects and further built our already strong sales pipeline. Our robust financial health has proven to be a significant competitive advantage in these wins,” added McCarthy.

McCarthy continued, “We are grateful to our fellow Deluxers who have unfailingly provided selfless service to our customers as COVID-19 unfolded. We have proven we are agile and innovative at all levels, further evidence our ‘One Deluxe’ strategy is working. We are a trusted business technology company with the ability to generate strong revenue with healthy margins and are confident we will deliver strong shareholder value over the long-term.”

*Revenue was $83.6 million lower than last year. COVID-19 negatively impacted our results in the quarter, primarily across our Promotional Solutions, Cloud Solutions and Check segments.
*The Payments segment delivered strong revenue growth of 12.6% over the same period last year, benefiting from Treasury Management revenue growth of 20.5% in the second quarter driven primarily by previously announced and continuing business wins.
*Net income decreased $17.7 million, driven primarily by the challenging business environment resulting from COVID-19, previously disclosed investments in the Company’s business transformation and a pretax asset impairment charge of $4.9 million related to management’s ongoing rationalization of the Company’s real estate footprint.
*Cash flow from operations for the period ending June 30, 2020 was $109.7 million and capital expenditures were $27.1 million. Free cash flow, defined as cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures, was $82.6 million, an improvement of $9.8 million as compared to last year.

Venture One pays $50M for RR Donnelley’s St. Charles complex

Industrial property investors Roy Splansky and Mark Goode started 2024 by becoming landlords for a Chicago-based company once referred to as North America’s largest commercial printer. Venture One, a Rosemont-based firm co-founded and led by Splansky and Goode, paid $50 million to the company, R.R. Donnelley & Sons, to buy two industrial buildings spanning more than 500,000 square feet in the western suburb of St. Charles, public records show. R.R. Donnelley is staying on as a tenant in the buildings at 609 South Kirk Road and 1750 Wallace Avenue, records show, meaning it likely sold the parcels as an alternative means of raising capital to eschew rising interest rates.
