Schawk Slips into Net Loss for Second Quarter

Consolidated Results for the Second Quarter
Consolidated net sales in the second quarter of 2012 were $116.3 million, compared to $113.3 million in 2011, an increase of approximately $2.9 million, or 2.6 percent.

Year-over-year sales were negatively impacted by changes in foreign currency translation rates of approximately $1.7 million, as the U.S. dollar increased in value relative to the local currencies of certain of the company's non-U.S. subsidiaries. Adjusting for the negative impact of foreign currency translation rates, consolidated net sales grew approximately 4.1 percent in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the prior-year period.
