"We are very pleased with our third-quarter performance and the continuation of the positive operational trends we experienced for the past four quarters. In the quarter, we expect to achieve approximately 2.2% organic revenue growth, with organic growth in both our U.S. and International segments. We expect strong cash flow in the quarter that enables us to migrate toward our targeted gross leverage range of 2.25x to 2.75x on a long-term sustainable basis," said Thomas J. Quinlan III, R.R. Donnelley's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We will provide further details regarding the third-quarter results, as well as our outlook for the balance of the year, on our third-quarter earnings call, which will be held on November 5th."

Quinlan continued, "We are also excited to announce that we have entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Consolidated Graphics, which will enhance our existing capabilities and improve our ability to serve our collective customers. Further, the mix of the purchase price consideration, combined with the expected run-rate synergies, results in the transaction being deleveraging on a pro forma basis as well as accretive to non-GAAP earnings per diluted share within the first twelve months after completion."

In addition, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of 26 cents per common share. The dividend is payable December 2, 2013 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 14, 2013.
