Maintaining Capital Allocation Discipline to Deliver Shareholder Value
Lexmark is continuing to execute on its stated capital allocation framework of returning more than 50 percent of free cash flow5 to shareholders, on average, through quarterly dividends and share repurchases while building and growing its solutions and software business through expansion and acquisitions.

The company's remaining share repurchase authorization is currently $189 million. Two Acquisitions Strengthen Software Solutions Presence, Capabilities With its two recent acquisitions, Lexmark increased the company's enterprise content management (ECM) presence in Europe, and further strengthened its capabilities of providing the platform, products and solutions that help its healthcare customers manage their unstructured information challenges. Saperion During the third quarter, Lexmark completed the acquisition of Germany-based Saperion, a leading provider of ECM software in Europe. Saperion is focused on providing document archive and workflow solutions and now reports into Perceptive Software. Lexmark purchased Saperion for $72 million utilizing non-U.S. cash. PACSGEAR
Earlier this month, Lexmark announced the acquisition of PACSGEAR, a leading provider of connectivity solutions for healthcare providers to capture, manage and share medical images and related documents and integrate them with existing picture archiving and communication systems and electronic medical records (EMR) systems. Lexmark paid a cash purchase price of $54 million. With this acquisition, Perceptive Software will be uniquely positioned to offer a vendor-neutral, standards-based, clinical content platform for capturing, managing, accessing and sharing patient imaging information and related documents within healthcare facilities through an EMR and between facilities via PACSGEAR technology. Perceptive Software a Leader in Enterprise Content Management Perceptive Software recently announced it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the Leaders Quadrant for enterprise content management (ECM) solutions, 20136. Gartner evaluated 23 vendors in its most recent iteration of the annual Magic Quadrant for ECM. Gartner's evaluation was based on completeness of vision and ability to execute. Perceptive Software continues to deliver double-digit revenue growth reflecting the imaging and software synergies being created by Lexmark. Perceptive Software's technology platform spans content management, process management, intelligent capture and enterprise search that, both separately and together, connect the unstructured printed and digital information across the enterprise with the processes, applications, and people that need it.
