Note 22.  Related Parties

On March 28, 2017, RRD completed the sale of 6.2 million shares of LSC common stock (RRD’s remaining ownership stake in LSC) in an underwritten public offering. As a result, beginning in the quarter ended June 30, 2017, LSC no longer qualified as a related party of the Company and the amounts disclosed related to LSC are presented through March 31, 2017 only.

On June 21, 2017, RRD completed the sale of approximately 6.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock.  RRD retained approximately 0.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock which RRD sold on August 4, 2017. Beginning in the quarter ended September 30, 2017, RRD no longer qualified as a related party and the amounts disclosed related to RRD are presented through June 30, 2017 only.

Transition Services Agreements

In connection with the Separation, the Company entered into transition services agreements separately with RRD and LSC, under which, in exchange for the fees specified in the arrangements, RRD and LSC agree to provide certain services to the Company and the Company agrees to provide certain services to RRD, respectively. These services have included, but are not limited to, information technology, accounts receivable, accounts payable, payroll and other financial and administrative services and functions. Most of the services provided under the transition services agreements terminated at September 30, 2018 or earlier. Under certain transition services agreements, RRD agreed to provide information technology services to the Company for up to 36 months following the Separation. These agreements facilitated the separation by allowing the Company to operate independently prior to establishing stand-alone back office systems across its organization.     

Commercial Arrangements

The Company entered into a number of commercial and other arrangements with RRD and its subsidiaries. These include, among other things, arrangements for the provision of services, including global outsourcing and logistics services, printing and binding, digital printing, composition and access to technology. The terms of the arrangements with RRD do not exceed 36 months. Subsequent to the Separation, RRD and LSC are clients of the Company and expect to utilize SaaS solutions and services that the Company provides to all of its clients.

Stockholder and Registration Rights Agreement

The Company and RRD entered into a Stockholder and Registration Rights Agreement with respect to the Company’s common stock retained by RRD pursuant to which the Company agrees that, upon the request of RRD, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration under applicable federal and state securities laws of the shares of the Company’s common stock retained by RRD after the Separation. In addition, RRD granted the Company a proxy to vote the shares of the Company’s common stock that RRD retained immediately after the Separation in proportion to the votes cast by the Company’s other stockholders. This proxy, however, will be automatically revoked as to a particular share upon any sale or transfer of such share from RRD to a person other than RRD, and neither the voting agreement nor the proxy will limit or prohibit any such sale or transfer.

On March 24, 2017, pursuant to the Stockholder and Registration Rights Agreement, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 to register the offering and sale of the Company’s common stock retained by RRD. The Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended, was declared effective by the SEC on June 13, 2017. On June 21, 2017, RRD completed the sale of approximately 6.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock in an underwritten public offering. Upon consummation of the offering, RRD retained approximately 0.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock which were subsequently sold by RRD on August 4, 2017.

Sublease Agreement

In connection with the Separation, the Company assumed an operating lease through 2024 for the Company’s headquarters.  There is a related non-cancelable sublease rental to RRD for the same period.  The Company remains secondarily liable under this lease in the event that the sub-lessee defaults under the sublease terms. The Company does not believe that material payments will be required as a result of the secondary liability provisions of the primary lease agreement.

 

Allocations from RRD

Prior to the Separation RRD provided DFIN with certain services, which include, but are not limited to information technology, finance, legal, human resources, internal audit, treasury, tax, investor relations and executive oversight. The financial information in these consolidated and combined financial statements does not necessarily include all the expenses that would have been incurred had DFIN been a separate, standalone entity for all periods presented. Prior to the Separation, RRD charged DFIN for these services based on direct usage when possible. When specific identification was not practicable, the pro rata basis of revenue or employee headcount, or some other measure was used. These allocations were reflected as follows in the consolidated and combined financial statements:

Costs of goods sold allocation

Selling, general and administrative allocation

The Company considers the expense methodology and results to be reasonable for all periods presented.  However, these allocations may not be indicative of the actual expenses that the Company would have incurred as an independent public company or the costs it may incur in the future.

Related Party Revenues

DFIN generates a portion of net revenue from sales to RRD’s subsidiaries. Net revenues from sales to RRD and affiliates of $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and $19.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, were included in the consolidated and combined statement of operations.

Related Party Purchases

DFIN utilizes RRD for freight and logistics and services as well as certain production of printed products.  Cost of sales of $32.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and $57.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 were included in the consolidated and combined statement of operations for these purchases.

DFIN also utilizes RRD’s business process outsourcing business for certain composition, XBRL and other functions.  Cost of sales of $19.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and $37.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 were included in the consolidated and combined statement of operations for these purchases. 

Share-Based Compensation Prior to Separation

Prior to the Separation, certain DFIN employees participated in RRD’s share-based compensation plans, the costs of which have been allocated to DFIN and recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated and combined statement of operations. Share-based compensation costs allocated to the Company were $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. 

Retirement Plans Prior to Separation

Prior to the Separation, DFIN employees participated in pension and other postretirement plans sponsored by RRD.  These costs are reflected in the Company’s cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated and combined statements of operations.  

On October 1, 2016, DFIN recorded net pension plan liabilities of $68.3 million (consisting of a total benefit plan liability of $317.0 million, net of plan assets having fair market value of $248.7 million), as a result of the transfer of certain pension plan liabilities and assets from RRD to the Company upon the legal split of those plans. The pension plan asset allocation from RRD was finalized on June 30, 2017, which resulted in a $0.7 million decrease to the fair value of plan assets transferred to the Company from RRD. Refer to Note 13, Retirement Plans, for further details regarding the Company’s pension and other postretirement benefit plans.

Centralized Cash Management Prior to Separation

RRD used a centralized approach to cash management and financing of operations.  Prior to the Separation, the majority of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries were party to RRD’s international cash pooling arrangements to maximize the availability of cash for general operating and investing purposes.  As part of RRD’s centralized cash management process, cash balances were swept regularly from the Company’s accounts.  

Debt

RRD’s third party debt and related interest expense have not been allocated to the Company for any of the periods presented as the Company was not the legal obligor of the debt and the borrowings were not directly related to the Company’s business.
