LEXINGTON, Ky. (July 24, 2012) — Lexmark International, Inc. (NYSE: LXK) today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2012 that were below the company’s April forecast, reflecting weaker than expected demand, particularly in Europe, and unfavorable currency impacts.
“While economic headwinds are impacting our results, we’re encouraged that Lexmark’s managed print services and Perceptive Software businesses continue to grow, demonstrating that our software and solutions value propositions resonate even in today’s difficult market, said Paul Rooke, Lexmark chairman and chief executive officer. “We remain focused on advancing our position in the higher value, higher growth segments of the business market. We are confident in our strategy and competitive strength, and will continue to closely monitor the challenging demand environment and make adjustments accordingly as we move through the year.”

GAAP revenue of $919 million includes $2.4 million of acquisition-related adjustments. Non-GAAP revenue of $921 million declined 12 percent compared with last year.
