•Achieved Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA of $43 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $52 million in 2024.

•Reported $0.14 Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share in the second quarter of 2025, increased from $0.12 per share in 2024.

•Released Audience Builder 2.0, continuing to activate Quad's proprietary household-based data stack with clients to enhance media buying with precision at scale and to increase response rates through improved audience intelligence.

•Announced In-Store Connect retail media network partnership with Vallarta Supermarkets, one of California’s leading Latino-owned grocery chains.

•Repurchased 1.4 million shares of Quad Class A common stock in 2025, bringing total repurchases to 7.3 million shares since commencing buybacks in 2022, representing approximately 13% of Quad’s March 31, 2022, outstanding shares.

•Declared quarterly dividend of $0.075 per share.

•Reaffirms full-year 2025 financial guidance.

Joel Quadracci, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Quad, said: “Second quarter and year-to-date results met our expectations as we continue to differentiate ourselves as a marketing experience company that simplifies the complexities of marketing for brands and marketers. This includes ongoing investments in strategic growth areas such as data and audience intelligence, AI-enabled tools and systems, and our In-Store Connect retail media network. We remain confident in Quad’s vision and our ability to unlock diversified growth, improve print and marketing efficiencies, and create value for our stakeholders.

“Marketers increasingly rely on audience intelligence to drive stronger campaign outcomes and quantifiable ROI, and Quad’s proprietary household-based data stack gives us a competitive edge. We are actively applying our AI-powered data stack to client work across all channels—digital and physical. With strategic insights on 92% of U.S. households—including demographic, transactional, attitudinal and behavioral characteristics as well as personal interests or, what we call, passions—we are able to connect the right message with the right audience at the right time and in the right channels. In the quarter, we launched Audience Builder 2.0, an AI-powered tool that enables Quad employees to easily create complex, high-propensity audiences. This represents a significant milestone in data activation.

“We continue to grow our In-Store Connect retail media network among mid-market grocers and CPG brands seeking deeper engagement with high-value shopper audiences. We recently signed a new partnership with Vallarta, one of California’s leading Latino-owned grocery chains, and doubled our footprint with The Save Mart Companies. Campaigns leveraging In-Store Connect have been shown to drive greater brand awareness and product sales—especially when promotional offers are included—and also boost sales across entire product categories. Through our solution, we continue to help brick-and-mortar retailers adapt their marketing strategies and tactics to keep pace with an ever-evolving media landscape.”

Added Tony Staniak, Chief Financial Officer of Quad: “Despite ongoing uncertainties in the macroeconomic environment, we are reaffirming our 2025 guidance. We will continue to closely monitor the potential impacts of tariffs and inflationary pressures, as well as postal rate increases, on our clients while investing in innovative offerings to achieve our long-term financial goals, including net sales growth. Additionally, with our balanced capital allocation we have returned $15 million of capital to shareholders thus far in 2025 through our quarterly dividend of $0.075 per share and share repurchases. Year-to-date, we repurchased 1.4 million shares, bringing total repurchases to 7.3 million shares since commencing buybacks in 2022, representing approximately 13% of our March 31, 2022, outstanding shares. Our next quarterly dividend is payable September 5, 2025, and we expect to continue to be opportunistic in terms of future share repurchases.”

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

•Net Sales were $572 million in the second quarter of 2025, a decrease of 10% compared to the same period in 2024. Excluding the 6% impact of the divestiture of the Company’s European operations, Net Sales declined 4%. The decline in Net Sales was primarily due to lower paper and logistics sales.

•Net Loss was $0.1 million, or $0.00 Diluted Loss Per Share, in the second quarter of 2025 compared to Net Loss of $3 million, or $0.06 Diluted Loss Per Share, in the second quarter of 2024. The improvement was primarily due to lower selling, general and administrative expenses, lower depreciation and amortization, lower interest expense, benefits from increased manufacturing productivity and savings from cost reduction initiatives, partially offset by the impact from lower Net Sales, increased investments in innovative offerings to drive future revenue growth, and the divestiture of the Company’s European operations.

•Adjusted EBITDA was $43 million in the second quarter of 2025 as compared to $52 million in the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the impact of lower sales, increased investments in innovative offerings to drive future revenue growth, and the divestiture of the Company’s European operations, partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses, benefits from improved manufacturing productivity and savings from cost reduction initiatives.

•Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share was $0.14 in the second quarter of 2025, as compared to $0.12 in the second quarter of 2024.

Year-to-Date 2025 Financial Results

•Net Sales were $1.2 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of 7% compared to the same period in 2024. Excluding the 4% impact of the divestiture of the Company’s European operations, Net Sales declined 3%. The decline in Net Sales was primarily due to lower paper sales and lower logistics and agency solutions sales, including the loss of a large grocery client.

•Net Earnings were $6 million, or $0.11 Diluted Earnings Per Share, in the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to Net Loss of $31 million, or $0.65 Diluted Loss Per Share, in the same period in 2024. The improvement was primarily due to lower restructuring, impairment and transaction-related charges, lower depreciation and amortization, lower selling, general and administrative expenses, lower interest expense, benefits from increased manufacturing productivity and savings from cost reduction initiatives, partially offset by the impact from lower Net Sales, increased investments in innovative offerings to drive future revenue growth, and the divestiture of the Company’s European operations.

•Adjusted EBITDA was $89 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $102 million in the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the impact of lower sales, increased investments in innovative offerings to drive future revenue growth, and the divestiture of the Company’s European operations, partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses, benefits from improved manufacturing productivity and savings from cost reduction initiatives.

•Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share was $0.34 in the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $0.22 in the same period in 2024.

•Net Cash Used in Operating Activities was $42 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $48 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024. Free Cash Flow improved $16 million from last year to negative $66 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, and included $34 million of Free Cash Flow Generation in the second quarter of 2025. The increase in Free Cash Flow was primarily due to higher cash earnings, including lower restructuring payments and lower interest payments, and a $9 million decrease in capital expenditures. As a reminder, the Company historically generates most of its Free Cash Flow in the fourth quarter of the year.

•Net Debt was $448 million at June 30, 2025, as compared to $350 million at December 31, 2024 and $532 million at June 30, 2024. Compared to December 31, 2024, Net Debt increased primarily due to seasonally negative $66 million of Free Cash Flow in the six months ended June 30, 2025, a $16 million payment for the Enru co-mailing asset acquisition and $15 million return of capital to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.

Dividend

Quad’s next quarterly dividend of $0.075 per share will be payable on September 5, 2025, to shareholders of record as of August 18, 2025.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding, among other things, our current expectations about the Company’s future results, financial condition, sales, earnings, free cash flow, margins, objectives, goals, strategies, beliefs, intentions, plans, estimates, prospects, projections and outlook of the Company and can generally be identified by the use of words or phrases such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “foresee,” “project,” “believe,” “continue” or the negatives of these terms, variations on them and other similar expressions. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause actual results to be materially different from those expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based largely on the Company’s expectations and judgments and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are unforeseeable and beyond our control.

The factors that could cause actual results to materially differ include, among others: the impact of increased business complexity as a result of the Company’s transformation to a marketing experience company, including adapting marketing offerings and business processes as required by new markets and technologies, such as artificial intelligence; the impact of decreasing demand for printing services and significant overcapacity in a highly competitive environment creates downward pricing pressures and potential under-utilization of assets; the impact of increases in its operating costs, including the cost and availability of raw materials (such as paper, ink components and other materials), inventory, parts for equipment, labor, fuel and other energy costs and freight rates; the impact of changes in postal rates, service levels or regulations; the impact macroeconomic conditions, including inflation and elevated interest rates, as well as postal rate increases, tariffs, trade restrictions, cost pressures and the price and availability of paper, have had, and may continue to have, on the Company’s business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations (including future uncertain impacts); the inability of the Company to reduce costs and improve operating efficiency rapidly enough to meet market conditions; the impact of a data-breach of sensitive information, ransomware attack or other cyber incident on the Company; the fragility and decline in overall distribution channels; the failure to attract and retain qualified talent across the enterprise; the impact of digital media and similar technological changes, including digital substitution by consumers; the failure of clients to perform under contracts or to renew contracts with clients on favorable terms or at all; the impact of risks associated with the operations outside of the United States (“U.S.”), including trade restrictions, currency fluctuations, the global economy, costs incurred or reputational damage suffered due to improper conduct of its employees, contractors or agents, and geopolitical events like war and terrorism; the impact negative publicity could have on our business and brand reputation; the failure to successfully identify, manage, complete, integrate and/or achieve the intended benefits of acquisitions, investment opportunities or other significant transactions, as well as the successful identification and execution of strategic divestitures; the impact of significant capital expenditures and investments that may be needed to sustain and grow the Company’s platforms, processes, systems, client and product technology, marketing and talent, to remain technologically and economically competitive, and to adapt to future changes, such as artificial intelligence; the impact of the various restrictive covenants in the Company’s debt

facilities on the Company’s ability to operate its business, as well as the uncertain negative impacts macroeconomic conditions may have on the Company’s ability to continue to be in compliance with these restrictive covenants; the impact of an other than temporary decline in operating results and enterprise value that could lead to non-cash impairment charges due to the impairment of property, plant and equipment and other intangible assets; the impact of regulatory matters and legislative developments or changes in laws, including changes in cyber-security, privacy and environmental laws; and the impact on the holders of Quad’s class A common stock of a limited active market for such shares and the inability to independently elect directors or control decisions due to the voting power of the class B common stock; and the other risk factors identified in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, which may be amended or supplemented by subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Except to the extent required by the federal securities laws, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains financial measures not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (referred to as non-GAAP), specifically EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow, Net Debt, Debt Leverage Ratio and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net earnings (loss) excluding interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and restructuring, impairment and transaction-related charges, net. EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are defined as either EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash used in operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment. Debt Leverage Ratio is defined as total debt and finance lease obligations less cash and cash equivalents (Net Debt) divided by the last twelve months of Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share is defined as earnings (loss) before income taxes excluding restructuring, impairment and transaction-related charges, net, and adjusted for income tax expense at a normalized tax rate, divided by diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, provide additional information for evaluating Quad’s performance and are important measures by which Quad’s management assesses the profitability and liquidity of its business. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, net earnings (loss) as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows used in operating activities as a measure of liquidity. These non-GAAP measures may be different than non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Reconciliations to the GAAP equivalent of these non-GAAP measures are contained in tabular form on the attached unaudited financial statements.

(e)Other restructuring charges (income) primarily include costs to maintain and exit closed facilities, as well as lease exit charges, and are presented net of a $4.3 million gain on the sale of the West Sacramento, California facility during the three months ended June 30, 2025.

In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), this earnings announcement also contains non-GAAP financial measures, specifically EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow, Net Debt, Debt Leverage Ratio and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, provide additional information for evaluating Quad’s performance and are important measures by which Quad’s management assesses the profitability and liquidity of its business. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, net earnings (loss) as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities as a measure of liquidity. These non-GAAP measures may be different than non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
