OfficeMax公司

????《財(cái)富》500強(qiáng)排名：367

????2012年銷售額：69億美元（423.66億元人民幣）

????2012年總回報(bào)率：116.2%

????OfficeMax是美國(guó)第三大辦公用品零售商。雖然它在2012年的銷售額下降，但股價(jià)卻在上漲，原因是管理層通過關(guān)閉零售店、縮小店面降低了成本。它還把重點(diǎn)放在了自有品牌產(chǎn)品上，以便在設(shè)法扭轉(zhuǎn)自身頹勢(shì)之際維持利潤(rùn)率。

????2013年OfficeMax可能更名。今年2月份，它同意和規(guī)模更大的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手歐迪辦公（Office Depot）合并。這筆交易將完全以換股方式進(jìn)行，價(jià)值約120億美元（736.8億元人民幣）

????合并后公司的名稱尚未確定，但這項(xiàng)計(jì)劃推動(dòng)兩家公司的股價(jià)同時(shí)上漲。預(yù)計(jì)這項(xiàng)交易可為雙方節(jié)約數(shù)億美元資金，同時(shí)還能帶來足夠的現(xiàn)金和信貸。

OfficeMax

????Fortune 500 rank: 367

????2012 sales: $6.9 bil

????2012 total return: 116.2%

????Despite weaker sales, the nation's third-largest office supply chain saw its stock rise in 2012 as executives cut costs by closing or shrinking stores. OfficeMax also focused on private label products to support the chain's margins as it tried to turn the company around.

????In the year ahead, OfficeMax likely won't exist under that name. The chain in February agreed to merge with bigger rival Office Depot in an all-stock deal worth about $1.2 billion.

????What the combined companies will be named is yet to be determined, but the merger pushed stocks for both companies higher. The deal is expected to save them hundreds of millions of dollars and generate plenty of cash and credit for the company.
