BRAMPTON, Ontario, November 12, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--DATA Communications Management Corp. (TSX: DCM; OTCQX: DCMDF) ("DCM" or the "Company"), a leading Canadian provider of print and digital solutions that help simplify complex marketing communications and workflow, today reported its third quarter 2024 financial results.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

"We maintained our focus in the quarter on building a strong platform for profitable growth following last year’s acquisition of Moore Canada Corporation ("MCC"), while advancing our integration priorities including the planned consolidation of our plant network, migrating legacy MCC systems and completing our restructuring actions," said Richard Kellam, President & CEO of DCM.

Kellam added, "I am pleased to report that we have now substantially completed the integration of MCC operations into DCM. We are on track to finalize the consolidation of our plant network from 14 to 10 main production facilities later this month and we are in the process of bringing online new state-of-the-art capital equipment that will enhance our production capabilities and position us to drive additional operating efficiencies."

"The progress of our post-acquisition integration and restructuring initiatives is reflected in the consistent improvement we are seeing in gross profit margin and SG&A expenses. We expect continued improvement in these areas in the fourth quarter and in 2025 marking further progress towards our goal of returning our gross margin to the +30% range and Adjusted EBITDA margins to more than 14%."

"Revenue in the third quarter was lower than expected due mainly to reduced spending by some of our large enterprise clients which we expect to recover in future quarters along with decisions we made to exit certain lower margin accounts. This contributed to a year-over-year revenue decline of 11.4% although, on a year-to-date basis, revenue is up 14.5% through the first nine months of 2024."

"We remain confident about the platform we are building for profitable growth and winning in the marketplace as our Commercial team continues to make excellent progress strengthening our presence in key industry verticals, attracting new business and leveraging DCM’s growing suite of product and service offerings," said Kellam
