We are building on our core business to create a unique omni-channel platform that delivers the products and services needed by our business-to-business (B2B) and business-minded customers now and into the future. Our company has an impressive set of assets with more than 6,000 employee information technology (IT) technicians, next day delivery reach to 98.5% of the US population and strong relationships with 28.6 million customers across the omni-channel, said Gerry Smith, Chief Executive Officer of Office Depot.

Smith continued, Already, we are seeing very promising results with omni-customers, who spend twice as much as online only customers and three times more than in-store only customers, growing 31% year-over-year in Q1. This continued positive momentum is creating meaningful results for our shareholders including an expected 5.5% growth in year over year sales in 2018, with an outlook to 2020 that sees services revenue growing to approximately 20% of total sales.
The Office Depot executive leadership team will also use todays meeting to introduce its plan for an integrated business services offering, Workonomy, designed to create a seamless customer experience.

SMB services will include administrative, technology and marketing solutions ranging from digital marketing to 3D printing to packing and shipping offerings. Enterprise services will include managed workplace solutions, infrastructure modernization, technology procurement and IT staffing.
Smith stated, The formation of Workonomy is a reflection of how we are meeting the needs of our customers by creating a cohesive, omni-channel experience that helps them solve their most vital, modern business needs.

As used throughout this release, Free Cash Flow is defined as cash flows from operating activities of continuing operations less capital expenditures.
The Companys outlook for 2018, 2019 and 2020 included in this release is for continuing operations only and includes non-GAAP measures, such as adjusted operating income, which excludes charges or
credits not indicative of core operations, which may include but not be limited to merger integration expenses, restructuring charges, acquisition-related costs, executive transition costs, asset impairments and other significant items that currently cannot be predicted.
