AMERICAN REPROGRAPHICS COMPANY REPORTS RESULTS FOR FIRST QUARTER 2010

• EPS of $0.02 per share

• YTD Cash from Operating Activities of $9.5 million

• Gross Margin of 32.9%

• Company reaffirms annual forecast

WALNUT CREEK, California (May 4, 2010) — American Reprographics Company (NYSE: ARP) (the “Company”), the nation’s leading provider of reprographic services and technology, today reported its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010.

“As the commercial construction market struggles to find its feet, ARC continues to operate well,” said K. “Suri” Suriyakumar, Chairman, President and CEO. “While we expect to see signs of life in employment, vacancy rates and credit availability in 2010, such improvements in the general economy are likely to be in advance of any recovery in the AEC market. Thus we remain prepared for a challenging year, and confident in our ability to manage costs, generate cash, and explore new opportunities within our core competencies as we have done throughout the downturn.”

Net revenue for the first quarter of 2010 was $112.2 million and the Company’s gross margin was 32.9% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010. Net income for the first quarter of 2010 was $717,000, or $0.02 per diluted share.

Jonathan Mather, Chief Financial Officer, said, “Revenue continues to be challenged by the softness in the U.S. AEC market, but we continue to implement incremental cost controls, produce healthy margins, and maintain a strong balance sheet.”

Outlook

The Company reaffirmed its forecast of annual earnings per share in 2010 to be in the range of $0.15 to $0.30 on a fully-diluted basis, and annual cash flow from operations in the range of $65 million to $80 million.

Non-GAAP Measures

EBIT, EBITDA and related ratios presented in this report are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by or presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These measures are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, income from operations, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as a measure of our liquidity.

EBIT represents net income before interest and taxes. EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation. EBIT margin is a non-GAAP measure calculated by dividing EBIT by net sales. EBITDA margin is a non-GAAP measure calculated by dividing EBITDA by net sales.

We present EBIT, EBITDA and related ratios because we consider them important supplemental measures of our performance and liquidity. We believe investors may also find these measures meaningful, given how our management makes use of them. The following is a discussion of our use of these measures.

We use EBIT and EBITDA to measure and compare the performance of our operating segments. Our operating segments’ financial performance includes all of the operating activities except for debt and taxation which are managed at the corporate level for U.S. operating segments. As a result, EBIT is the best measure of divisional profitability and the most useful metric by which to measure and compare the performance of our operating segments. We also use EBIT to measure performance for determining operating segment-level compensation and use EBITDA to measure performance for determining consolidated-level compensation. We also use EBIT and EBITDA to evaluate potential acquisitions and to evaluate whether to incur capital expenditures.

EBIT, EBITDA and related ratios have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are as follows:

• They do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures and contractual commitments;

• They do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

• They do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary, to service interest or principal payments on our debt;

• Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and

• Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

Because of these limitations, EBIT, EBITDA, and related ratios should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in business growth or to reduce our indebtedness. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using EBIT, EBITDA and related ratios only as supplements. For more information, see our interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes on our 2010 first quarter report on Form 10-Q. Additionally, please refer to our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In our calculation of EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 we excluded stock-based compensation expense of $1.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively, as we believe this presentation facilitates a meaningful comparison of our operating results. Additionally, the exclusion of stock-based compensation to arrive at EBITDA is consistent with the definition of EBITDA in our amended credit and guaranty agreement, therefore we believe this information is useful to investors in assessing our ability to meet our debt covenants.
