BRAMPTON, Ontario--(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 fourth quarter and fiscal year 2024 financial results.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

“2024 was a pivotal year for DCM highlighted by the successful completion of the complex integration of the Moore Canada Corporation (“MCC”) acquisition which we accomplished on budget and nearly a full year ahead of our original schedule,” said Richard Kellam, President & CEO of DCM. “We are now well-positioned to leverage our larger scale, incremental capacity, expanded product mix and the skills and capabilities of our team to drive profitable growth, return to pre-acquisition levels of +30% gross profit margins, and deliver strong free cash flow¹ going forward.”

“With the actions we took during 2024 to complete the integration of the MCC business into DCM, we were pleased to be able to recently announce a special dividend to shareholders and the commencement of a regular quarterly dividend program reflecting our confidence in DCM’s growth potential and our commitment to enhancing shareholder returns,” Kellam added.

“While we are pleased with our start to 2025, we continue to carefully monitor economic conditions and the geopolitical environment for developments that could impact our results. These include the recent introduction of cross-border tariffs, raw material cost increases and any softening of demand in our end markets. We are actively pursuing opportunities to mitigate against these risks, including initiatives to diversify our supply chain.”

FOURTH QUARTER 2024 RESULTS COMPARED TO 2023

• Revenues of $116.2 million were down 10.6%, or $13.7 million vs. $130.0 million
• Gross profit of $30.4 million, decreased 7.2%, or $2.3 million vs. $32.8 million
• Gross profit as a percentage of revenue of 26.2%, up 100 basis points compared to 25.2%
• Adjusted EBITDA was $15.8 million, up 5.2%, or $0.8 million vs. $15.0 million
• Adjusted EBITDA represented 13.6% of revenues compared to 11.6%
• Total Net Debt¹ at quarter end of $78.9 million, down 8.1%, or $6.9 million vs. $85.8 million

OTHER BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

Special Dividend and Recurring Dividend Program
On February 20, 2025, DCM announced that its board of directors had declared an initial special cash dividend of $0.20 per share, payable on March 25, 2025 to shareholders of record on March 12, 2025. The Company also announced that its board had approved the commencement of a recurring, quarterly dividend program, with an initial quarterly dividend of $0.025 per common share to be paid on April 4, 2025, to shareholders of record as of March 21, 2025. The dividend program is made possible by the Company’s significantly improved financial leverage subsequent to completing the acquisition of MCC and higher levels of free cash flow expected to be generated in 2025 and in the future.

Operational Initiatives Completed in 2024
DCM’s Fergus, Ontario facility ceased production activities in October 2024 and its Trenton, Ontario facility ceased production in November 2024, and their operations have been successfully consolidated into the Company’s Drummondville, Quebec and Brampton, Ontario facilities, respectively. These plant closures follow the previous closure of the Company’s Edmonton, Alberta facility in November 2023 and the consolidation of the Company’s two Toronto, Ontario commercial print facilities into its Bond Avenue facility in June 2024. The Company’s lease obligations at its Fergus and Trenton facilities ended December 31, 2024, and January 15, 2025, respectively, completing the Company's planned facility consolidations following the MCC acquisition.

The Company also completed the migration of clients from MCC legacy applications, including customer-facing technology applications, to the Company’s DCM FLEX platform, and internal billing and invoicing systems to its ERP platform.

Organizational Initiatives
Operational and other organizational initiatives have resulted in a net reduction in total headcount of 435 associates, from approximately 1,860 at the time of closing the MCC acquisition to approximately 1,425 at the end of 2024. This reduction is net of several new hires across the organization as the Company strategically added talent to the team. The Company has now completed substantially all its planned organizational changes following the MCC acquisition.

Capital Investments
The Company completed its planned accelerated investment in new state-of-the-art capital equipment in 2024 in support of its growth objectives. In aggregate, the Company invested more than $21 million in new capital equipment and now expects that capital expenditures in 2025 and going forward will return to more normalized levels.

This new capital equipment and its enhanced capabilities are already providing opportunities in new markets and applications targeted for growth, including paperboard packaging, prime and shrink wrap labels, high-volume personalized direct mail, and customer communications management applications, a new business for DCM as a result of the MCC acquisition.

AI-enabled Technology Investment
The Company also expanded its suite of marketing technology solutions, including the launch of its AI-enabled digital asset management SaaS offering, ASMBL in the summer of 2024, and the acquisition in November 2024 of its AI-enabled social media analytics SaaS offering, Zavy. These applications provide opportunities to provide additional value-added services to our existing client base, and to target new clients outside our typical client profile both in North America and globally with innovative marketing-technology applications.

2025 PRIORITIES

DCM has established the following strategic priorities for 2025.

1. Drive profitable organic growth by leveraging our expanded suite of tech-enabled offerings, strengthening our presence in key industry verticals and securing new business wins.
2. Deliver a return on new capital investments focused on enhancing our production capabilities and positioning us to drive operating efficiencies.
3. Continue to drive gross margin improvement through top line revenue growth, operating efficiencies, and strategic revenue management initiatives.
4. Demonstrate agility and adaptability to effectively navigate an uncertain economic and geopolitical environment.

LONG TERM OBJECTIVES

The Company reaffirms its long-term growth 5-year objective of +5% revenue CAGR, gross profit as a percentage of revenues in excess of 30% and Adjusted EBITDA margin in excess of 14% on an annual basis. The Company also maintains its long-term net debt to adjusted EBITDA objective of less than 1.0x.

When used in this press release, words such as “may,” “would,” “could,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect DCM’s current views regarding future events and operating performance, are based on information currently available to DCM, and speak only as of the date of this press release.

These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. They should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results and will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether or not such performance or results will be achieved. Many factors could cause the actual results, performance, objectives or achievements of DCM to be materially different from any future results, performance, objectives or achievements that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. We caution readers of this press release not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements since a number of factors could cause actual future results, conditions, actions, or events to differ materially from the targets, expectations, estimates or intentions expressed in these forward-looking statements.

The principal factors, assumptions and risks that DCM made or took into account in the preparation of these forward-looking statements and which could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements are described in further detail in our most recent annual and interim Management Discussion and Analysis filed on SEDAR+, and include but are not limited to the following: industry conditions are influenced by numerous factors over which the Company has no control, including: declines in print consumption; labour disruptions at suppliers and customers, including Canada Post; the impact of tariffs and responses thereto (including by governments, trade partners and customers), which may include, without limitation, retaliatory tariffs, export taxes, restrictions on exports to the U.S. or other measures, and the effect of governmental regulations and policies in general; our ability to achieve and meet our revenue, profitability, free cash flow and debt reduction targets for 2025 and in the future; while we have received consents from our lenders for the declaration and payment of the special dividend and regular recurring dividend, including the exclusion of the special dividend from our fixed charge coverage ratios, our financial leverage may increase, and there is no guarantee that we will pay such dividends in the future; and, our ability to comply with our financial and other covenants under our credit facilities, which may preclude us from paying future dividends if our outlook and future financial liquidity changes.

Additional factors are discussed elsewhere in this press release and under the headings "Liquidity and capital resources" and “Risks and Uncertainties” in DCM’s Management Discussion and Analysis and in DCM’s other publicly available disclosure documents, as filed by DCM on SEDAR+.
