Quad/Graphics reported Q2 adjusted EPS of 14 cents, up from 12 cents last year. Revenue declined to $572M from $634M YoY. The company's CEO, Joel Quadracci, cited ongoing investments in strategic growth areas such as data and audience intelligence, AI-enabled tools, and its In-Store Connect retail media network. Quadracci remains confident in Quad's vision and ability to unlock diversified growth and improve print and marketing efficiencies.

Quad/Graphics, Inc. (NYSE: QUAD) reported its second quarter 2025 financial results, highlighting a 10% decline in net sales to $572 million compared to $634 million in the same period last year. The company also reported a net loss of $0.1 million, or $0.00 diluted loss per share, up from a net loss of $3 million, or $0.06 diluted loss per share, in the second quarter of 2024.

Despite the decline in net sales, Quad/Graphics achieved non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $43 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $52 million in the same period last year. The company also reported adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.14, up from $0.12 in the second quarter of 2024.

The company's CEO, Joel Quadracci, attributed the decline in net sales to lower paper and logistics sales, as well as the impact of the divestiture of its European operations. However, Quadracci remains confident in the company's ability to unlock diversified growth and improve print and marketing efficiencies through ongoing investments in strategic growth areas such as data and audience intelligence, AI-enabled tools, and its In-Store Connect retail media network.

Quad/Graphics also announced the launch of Audience Builder 2.0, an AI-powered tool that enables the company's employees to easily create complex, high-propensity audiences. The company also signed a new partnership with Vallarta Supermarkets, one of California's leading Latino-owned grocery chains, to expand its In-Store Connect retail media network.

The company's CFO, Tony Staniak, reaffirmed the company's full-year 2025 financial guidance, despite ongoing uncertainties in the macroeconomic environment. The company expects net sales to decline by 2% to 6%, adjusted EBITDA to be $180 million to $220 million, and free cash flow to be $40 million to $60 million.

Quad/Graphics will hold a conference call at 8:30 a.m. ET on Wednesday, July 30, 2025, to discuss the results in more detail.
