RR Donnelley Posts Earnings Increase, Net Sales Decline

The company reports its results in two reportable segments: 1) U.S. Print and Related Services and 2) International.

Segments

Net sales for the U.S. Print and Related Services segment decreased 3.9 percent from the second quarter of 2011 to $1.8 billion in the second quarter of 2012. Pro forma for acquisitions, net sales in the segment decreased 4.5 percent, as volume declines across most product offerings, lower pass-through paper sales of $21.6 million or 112 basis points, and continued pricing pressure across the segment more than offset volume increases in office products and logistics.
