  Imation Q2 2008 Revenue up 32.5 percent to $547.0 Million

   Diluted EPS of $0.19 includes $0.07 per share of Restructuring Charges

    OAKDALE, Minn., July 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Imation Corp. (NYSE:
IMN) today released financial results for the second quarter ended June 30,
2008.

    Highlights for Q2 include the following:

    -- Revenue of $547.0 million was up 32.5 percent compared with Q2 2007
revenue of $412.8 million. Growth was driven by optical and consumer
electronic products primarily due to the TDK Recording Media and Memcorp
acquisitions which closed in Q3 2007.

    -- Gross margin was 17.3 percent for the quarter, relatively unchanged
from last year's second quarter.

    -- Q2 2008 operating income of $12.2 million and diluted earnings per
share of $0.19 are compared with $2.6 million of operating loss and diluted
loss per share of $0.04 in Q2 2007. Operating income in Q2 2008 included
restructuring and other charges of $4.0 million or $0.07 per diluted share,
compared with charges of $20.8 million, or $0.37 per share in Q2 2007.

    -- Cash generated from operations for the quarter was $45.5 million
compared to $9.3 million in Q2 2007. Approximately 269,000 shares were
repurchased during the quarter for $7.0 million.

    The Company also announced today further steps to optimize its
manufacturing operation by focusing all tape coating in its Weatherford, OK
plant. As a result, the Company will exit its Camarillo, CA facility and
incur associated future restructuring and related charges of up to $20
million, the majority of which will be incurred in 2008 (see press release
issued today: Imation Announces Further Manufacturing Optimization Steps).

    Commenting on the results, Imation President and CEO Frank Russomanno
said: "While we faced a challenging economic environment during the
quarter, especially with our enterprise class customers, our broad product
portfolio, multiple brands and global footprint enabled us to deliver an
acceptable quarter with strong operating cash flows. The U.S. and Europe
were weak especially in magnetic tape; however, we saw strong results in
Asia Pacific most notably in Japan and also in Latin America. We also were
pleased with our improved margins in optical and flash products, which
offset pressure resulting from declines in higher margin tape products."

    "Our tape media business experienced continued softness in the quarter
driven by declines in legacy data center and entry level formats. We expect
this trend to continue. This morning we announced another step in our
strategy to optimize the magnetic tape business and maintain our leadership
position as we shift all coating operations to our facility in Weatherford.
This will result in the exit of our Camarillo coating operation by
year-end."

    "We saw growth in optical media driven by our acquisition of the TDK
recording media business. Our multi-brand strategy is working as it is
enabling us to gain share and improve profitability in an overall declining
market. For example, TDK Life on Record has now become the leading optical
media brand in Japan."

    "Our consumer electronics and accessories business posted strong
performance during the quarter and is well positioned for the busy year-end
season. We also have a focused effort to expand this business initially in
North America. Our recent acquisition of XtremeMac further strengthens our
brand and product portfolio and adds a new dimension of product design in
consumer electronics and related accessories, especially for Apple
enthusiasts. This acquisition is another building block in our strategy as
we build a portfolio of strong brands that resonate with consumers."

    "We have adjusted our 2008 outlook reflecting the restructuring and
related costs associated with our plant exit announced today. Excluding
these impacts, we remain committed to our previously communicated 2008
outlook though we are aware of increasing concerns about possible further
economic weakness near term. We will continue to closely monitor the
external environment and its possible impact on our business as we head
into the critical second half." (See 2008 Business Outlook at the end of
this release.)

    "The results for the second quarter reflect the initial benefits of our
strategy and our operational discipline, further reinforcing our confidence
in the long-term value of our strategic direction," Russomanno concluded.

    A teleconference is scheduled for 9:00 AM Central Daylight Time today,
July 22, 2008. (See Webcast and Replay Information at the bottom of this
release).


Q2 and YTD 2008 and 2007 Financial Highlights ---------------------------------------------- (Dollars in millions, except per share amounts) Q2 08 Q2 07 YTD 08 YTD 07 ---------------------------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Net Revenue $547.0 $412.8 $1,077.9 $834.7 Gross Profit $94.9 $72.5 $193.6 $154.3 % of Revenue 17.3 % 17.6 % 18.0 % 18.5 % SG&A $72.7 $44.7 $144.6 $89.9 % of Revenue 13.3 % 10.8 % 13.4 % 10.8 % R&D $6.0 $9.6 $12.6 $22.0 % of Revenue 1.1 % 2.4 % 1.2 % 2.6 % Restructuring and Other $4.0 $20.8 $4.7 $21.4 Operating Income (Loss) $12.2 $(2.6) $31.7 $21.0 % of Revenue 2.2 % -0.6 % 2.9 % 2.5 % Net Income $7.2 $(1.4) $18.2 $14.3 Diluted Earnings per Share $0.19 $(0.04) $0.48 $0.41 Operating Cash Flows $45.5 $9.3 $78.3 $15.5 Reconciliation of GAAP to Adjusted Results ------------------------------------------- Q2 08 Q2 07 ----------------- ----------------- (Dollars in millions, except per Operating Diluted Operating Diluted share amounts) Income EPS Income EPS -------------------------------- -------- -------- -------- -------- As Reported - GAAP $12.2 $0.19 $(2.6) $(0.04) Restructuring and other 4.0 0.07 20.8 0.37 Adjusted - Non-GAAP $16.2 $0.26 $18.2 $0.33 YTD 08 YTD 07 ----------------- ----------------- (Dollars in millions, except per Operating Diluted Operating Diluted share amounts) Income EPS Income EPS -------------------------------- -------- -------- -------- -------- As Reported - GAAP $31.7 $0.48 $21.0 $0.41 Restructuring and other 4.7 0.11 21.4 0.37 Adjusted - Non-GAAP $36.4 $0.59 $42.4 $0.78 Comparison of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures The Non-GAAP financial measurements are provided to assist in understanding the impact of restructuring and other charges on our actual results of operations when compared with prior periods. We believe that adjusting for these items will assist investors in making an evaluation of our performance on a comparable basis against prior periods. This information should not be construed as an alternative to the reported results, which have been determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Net Revenue was $547.0 million, up 32.5 percent from Q2 2007 of $412.8 million, driven by the TDK recording media and Memcorp acquisitions which closed in Q3 2007. Our Americas region revenue totaled $190 million in the quarter, down 17 percent from last year. The additional revenue from the TDK recording media business acquisition was more than off-set by declines in other areas. European revenue grew 46 percent and totaled $185 million with growth driven by our TDK recording media business and the GDM joint venture. Asia Pacific revenue totaled $113 million, up nearly 100 percent over last year driven by TDK recording media revenue especially in Japan. Revenue from the Electronic Products segment, the operating segment resulting from the Memcorp acquisition, was 10.6 percent of total revenue in the quarter. The Q2 2008 total revenue growth as compared with Q2 2007 was generated by overall volume growth including the impact of the acquisitions of approximately 34 percent and favorable currency impact of six percent, partially offset by price erosion of approximately seven percent. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, revenue was $1,077.9 million, up 29.1 percent from revenue of $834.7 million for the comparable period last year driven primarily by the TDK recording media and Memcorp acquisitions. Gross Margin of 17.3 percent in the current quarter was relatively unchanged from 17.6 percent in Q2 2007. Selling, General & Administrative (SG&A) spending was $72.7 million or 13.3 percent of revenue, compared with $44.7 million or 10.8 percent of revenue in Q2 2007. The increase in expense from Q2 2007 was due to several factors including the addition of expenses and intangible asset amortization from acquired businesses as well as spending for acquisition integration and incremental brand investments. These items were partially offset by synergies achieved to date from acquisition integration as well as spending declines elsewhere. Research & Development (R&D) spending was $6.0 million or 1.1 percent of revenue, compared with $9.6 million or 2.4 percent of revenue reported in Q2 2007. The favorable comparisons were primarily due to savings from restructuring actions initiated in the second quarter of 2007 as the Company focused its R&D activities primarily on development of new magnetic tape formats. Restructuring and Other Charges of $4.0 million were recorded in the second quarter of 2008 compared with charges of $20.8 million in the second quarter of 2007. These charges related to costs from our previously announced restructuring programs. Operating Income for the quarter of $12.2 million included restructuring and other charges of $4.0 million, compared with an operating loss of $2.6 million including restructuring and other charges of $20.8 million in Q2 2007. Excluding restructuring and other charges noted above, operating income would have been $16.2 million in Q2 2008 as compared with $18.2 million in Q2 2007 (see table entitled Reconciliation of GAAP to Adjusted Results above). Non-Operating Income/Expense and Income Taxes: Non-operating expense of $1.6 million in Q2 2008 is compared with $0.7 million of non-operating income in Q2 2007 due primarily to a reduction in interest income. The effective tax rate in Q2 2008 was 32.1 percent compared with 26.3 percent in Q2 2007 which included tax benefits associated with restructuring and other charges in Q2 2007. Diluted Earnings per Share was $0.19 for Q2 2008 compared with a $0.04 loss per diluted share for Q2 2007. Adjusting for the above noted impacts of restructuring and other charges, diluted earnings per share would have been $0.26 for Q2 2008 compared with $0.33 for Q2 2007 (see table entitled Reconciliation of GAAP to Adjusted Results above). Cash Flow, Working Capital and Balance Sheet: Ending cash and cash equivalents totaled $117.7 million as of June 30, 2008. Cash flow from operations for Q2 2008 was $45.5 million, driven by earnings and improvements in working capital. During the quarter we repurchased approximately 269,000 shares of common stock for $7.0 million and paid dividends of $6.0 million. We also paid $7.0 million to acquire XtremeMac. Capital spending was $4.1 million and depreciation and amortization was $12.7 million for the quarter. 2008 Business Outlook This business outlook, except where noted, is unchanged from the outlook issued in January 2008, and is subject to the risks and uncertainties described below. -- Revenue is targeted at approximately $2.4 billion, representing growth of approximately 16 percent over 2007. -- Operating income, including restructuring and other charges, is targeted to be in the range of $80 million to $90 million. We anticipate restructuring and other charges to be in the range of $17 million to $22 million for 2008. This change in outlook is the result of the anticipated 2008 restructuring and related charges of $13 million to $16 million associated with the manufacturing restructuring announced today. Previously, operating income was targeted to be in the range of $95 million to $105 million with restructuring and other charges in the range of $4 million to $6 million for 2008. Our outlook for operating income excluding restructuring and related charges is unchanged. -- Diluted earnings per share is targeted between $1.26 and $1.43 which includes the negative impact of approximately $0.33 from restructuring and related charges. This outlook reflects the restructuring and related charges discussed above. Previously, diluted earnings per share was targeted between $1.51 and $1.68 which included the negative impact of approximately $0.08 from restructuring and other charges. Our outlook for diluted earnings per share excluding the impacts of restructuring and related charges is unchanged. -- Capital spending is targeted in the range of $15 million to $20 million. -- The tax rate is anticipated to be in the range of 35 percent to 37 percent, absent any one-time tax items that may occur in the future. -- Depreciation and amortization expense is targeted in the range of $48 million to $52 million.
