Specialty Print Communications (SPC) Celebrates 25-Years by Planting Trees

Specialty Print Communications (SPC), a Niles, Illinois based direct mail and digital solutions provider, marked 25 years in business on May 19th with a ceremony outside its offices.

From humble beginnings in 1996 as a print and promotional products provider, SPC has grown into one of the country’s largest independent marketing organizations, with nearly 400 employees providing print and digital solutions to blue chip clients in retail, etail, healthcare, financial services, automotive, travel & leisure, and other industries.

“SPC’s growth and perseverance is certainly a success story and mostly a testimony to building a business centered on our family values and extending those principles to our employees and client relationships,” said SPC president Adam LeFebvre. Adam, along with his brother Ryan who leads business development, are third generation LeFebvres in the print business and readily thank SPC’s loyal employees for their longevity. “It’s not about any one of us, but every one of us that makes SPC successful.”

To commemorate 25 years in business, SPC has partnered with One Tree Planted (www.gofundme.com), a non-profit organization focused on reforestation, which will plant 2,500 seedlings in hard-hit areas across the United States. “We really wanted to focus our positive energy outward to include our larger community.

SPC produces A LOT of direct mail” explains LeFebvre. “Mail continues to be an effective communications channel for many of our clients and we recognize our unique responsibility to help sustain the most precious resource used to make paper.”

SPC also held a ceremony at which CEO Paul LeFebvre and sons Adam and Ryan planted a commemorative maple tree on the company’s front lawn. The ceremony was attended by Niles, IL mayor George Alpogianis, marketing thought leader Deborah Corn, employees, friends, and other community dignitaries. Paul LeFebvre reflected on SPC’s amazing journey in his closing remarks by stating, “We’ve come a long way since my father Arthur LeFebvre turned to me to carry on his print business in 1971. I am so proud of my sons Adam and Ryan for growing SPC to where it is today. The business is in good hands and the future is bright.”

Deluxe Reports Third Quarter 2020 Results

*Revenue was $54.1 million lower than last year. COVID-19 continued to negatively impact our results, primarily across the Promotional Solutions, Cloud Solutions and Checks segments. *The Payments segment delivered strong revenue growth of 15.6% over the same period last year, benefiting from Treasury Management revenue growth of 20.9% in the third quarter driven primarily by December 2019 sales wins. *Net income of $29.4 million was impacted by COVID-19, compared to a net loss of $318.5 million in the third quarter 2019. 2019 results included pre-tax, non-cash asset impairment charges of $391.0 million.

Free cash flow, defined as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, was $124.1 million, a decrease of $34.2 million as compared to 2019. In addition to COVID-19, free cash flow was impacted by previously disclosed expenditures to support the Company’s business transformation and the ongoing secular decline in checks. These impacts were partially offset by lower income taxes and a legal settlement in the prior year. *At the end of the third quarter, the Company had $1.04 billion of total debt outstanding under its revolving credit facility, compared to $883.5 million at the beginning of 2020.
