“Despite most of our businesses performing to our expectation, our fourth quarter results were negatively impacted by significant sales volume declines and increased price pressures within our office product envelope and related wholesale envelope product lines,” said Robert G. Burton, Sr., Chairman and CEO of Cenveo. “This was driven by measures undertaken by our customers in response to a regulatory decision mid-way through 2016. This trend accelerated throughout the fourth quarter as we saw sales in the office products business decline more than 20% from the same period in 2015.

“As a result of these substantial changes in the marketplace, we have taken significant action to bring our cost structure in line with our ongoing revenue base. Late in the fourth quarter of 2016, we initiated a two- year, company-wide profitability improvement plan which we expect will yield $50 million of combined cost savings and margin improvement, $25 million of which we expect to realize in 2017. This program is designed to reduce our fixed cost infrastructure, lower SG&A costs, reduce back office headcount and further streamline our geographic footprint by bringing multiple products under one roof.”
