OfficeMax公司

????《财富》500强排名：367

????2012年销售额：69亿美元（423.66亿元人民币）

????2012年总回报率：116.2%

????OfficeMax是美国第三大办公用品零售商。虽然它在2012年的销售额下降，但股价却在上涨，原因是管理层通过关闭零售店、缩小店面降低了成本。它还把重点放在了自有品牌产品上，以便在设法扭转自身颓势之际维持利润率。

????2013年OfficeMax可能更名。今年2月份，它同意和规模更大的竞争对手欧迪办公（Office Depot）合并。这笔交易将完全以换股方式进行，价值约120亿美元（736.8亿元人民币）

????合并后公司的名称尚未确定，但这项计划推动两家公司的股价同时上涨。预计这项交易可为双方节约数亿美元资金，同时还能带来足够的现金和信贷。

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.
