Vestcom Provides Preliminary Second Quarter Guidance.

Business Editors

Vestcom International, Inc. (Nasdaq:VESC), announced today that revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 2002 are expected to be approximately 6% below the $37.7 million revenues reported for the three months ended June 30, 2001.

The Company expects net income for the second quarter of 2002, excluding any non-recurring charges, to be approximately break-even. Reported net income for the second quarter of 2001 of $62,000 included goodwill amortization and non-recurring charges. The anticipated decline in revenues and profitability is attributable to continued softening of the Company's business communications operations, principally reflecting weaknesses in the financial services market.

The Company has reviewed its anticipated 2002 second quarter operating results and its management forecasts with Cornerstone Equity Investors IV, L.P. which, as previously announced, has agreed to acquire the Company for a purchase price of $6.25 per share. Cornerstone has advised the Company that it is proceeding with its plans to finalize the debt financing commitments needed for the consummation of the transaction. The transaction remains subject to obtaining these commitments as well as to other conditions specified in the merger agreement.
