Company updates full-year guidance

“We continue to have success in winning new customers. During the quarter, however, we faced increasing challenges with a tight labor market and rising material costs that negatively impacted our margins. We do expect increased costs and challenging conditions to continue throughout the fourth quarter, and we are taking aggressive actions to mitigate the impact,” said Thomas J. Quinlan III, LSC Communications’ Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President. “As separately announced today, we are taking the next major step in our evolution by combining with Quad/Graphics. As a combined company we will be better positioned in a dynamic industry environment to efficiently serve our clients through a broader set of offerings to help meet and manage their needs.”

As discussed below, beginning with the third quarter of 2018, the Company has revised its segment reporting structure. Additional details on the Company’s new segment structure are provided below.

Net Sales

Third quarter net sales were $1,015 million, up $80 million, or 8.5%, from the third quarter of 2017. After adjusting for acquisitions, divestitures, changes in foreign exchange rates, pass-through paper sales, and the adoption of new revenue recognition standards, organic net sales decreased 3.0% from the third quarter of 2017. The decrease in organic net sales was largely due to lower volume and price declines in Magazine, Catalogs & Logistics and lower volume in Book, Office Products and our other segments.

GAAP Net Income

Third quarter 2018 net loss was $4 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $3 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2017. Third quarter 2018 net loss included after-tax charges of $29 million primarily related to the write-off of a deferred tax asset associated with the disposition of our European printing business and third quarter 2017 net loss included after-tax charges of $28 million, primarily related to goodwill impairment charges. Both of these after-tax charges are excluded from the presentation of non-GAAP net income. Additional details regarding the amount and nature of these adjustments and other items are included in the attached schedules.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP Net Income

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2018 was $90 million, or 8.9% of net sales, compared to $96 million, or 10.3% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2017. The decrease in non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to volume declines and product mix, increased labor costs and the negative impact on productivity related to workforce turnover, partially offset by acquisition synergies and cost control initiatives.

Non-GAAP net income totaled $25 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2018 compared to non-GAAP net income of $25 million, or $0.73 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2017. Reconciliations of net loss to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income are presented in the attached schedules.

2018 Guidance

The Company’s updated full-year guidance for 2018, in the table below reflects the impact of the expectation for continued increased labor and material costs for the remainder of the year:

 

    

Guidance

   

Previous Guidance

Net sales

    $3.80 to $3.85 billion    $3.75 to $3.85 billion

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA (1)

    $270 to $290 million    $310 to $340 million

Depreciation and amortization

    $135 to $140 million    $135 to $145 million

Interest expense

    Approximately $78 million    $76 to $78 million

Non-GAAP effective tax rate

    29% to 31%    27% to 31%

Capital expenditures

    $70 to $75 million    $65 to $75 million

Free cash flow (2)

    $80 to $110 million    $110 to $140 million

Diluted share count

    Approximately 34 million    Approximately 34 million

 

(1)

Consistent with historical guidance and presentation, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA includes net pension income. Beginning in 2018, Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-07 requires companies to disaggregate the service cost component of net benefit cost from other components of net benefit cost and present the service cost component with other employee compensation costs. All other components of net benefit cost will need to be presented outside of income from operations. As a result, the Company expects to reclassify approximately $49 million, $46 million and $45 million of net pension income for years ended 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively, out of income from operations to investment and other (income)-net, resulting in no impact to net income or non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA.

(2)

Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures.

Certain components of the guidance given in the table above are provided on a non-GAAP basis only, without providing a reconciliation to guidance provided on a GAAP basis. Information is

presented in this manner, consistent with SEC rules, because the preparation of such a reconciliation could not be accomplished without “unreasonable efforts.” The Company does not have access to certain information that would be necessary to provide such a reconciliation, including non-recurring items that are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operations. Such items include, but are not limited to, restructuring charges, impairment charges, pension settlement charges, acquisition-related expenses, gains or losses on investments and business disposals, losses on debt extinguishment and other similar gains or losses not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operations. The Company does not believe that excluding such items is likely to be significant to an assessment of the Company’s ongoing operations, given that such excluded items are not indicators of business performance.

New Segment Structure

The Company is now reporting its results using the following segments (1) Magazines, Catalogs & Logistics, (2) Book, (3) Office Products, and (4) other, which includes its Mexico operations, Directory, Print Management and Europe. This morning the Company filed an 8-K and posted on its website schedules presenting the Company’s historical financial results in its new segment structure.

Use of non-GAAP Information

This news release contains certain non-GAAP measures. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures, such as non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP net income/loss and free cash flow, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP

LSC COMMUNICATIONS REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2018 RESULTS AND UPDATES FULL-YEAR 2018 GUIDANCE

Page 4 of 16

 

measures, provide useful information about the Company’s operating results and liquidity and enhance the overall ability to assess the Company’s financial performance. The Company uses these measures, together with other measures of performance under GAAP, to compare the relative performance of operations in planning, budgeting and reviewing the performance of its business. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP net income/loss and free cash flow allow investors to make a more meaningful comparison between the Company’s core business operating results over different periods of time. The Company believes that non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP net income/loss and free cash flow, when viewed with the Company’s results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations, provides useful information about the Company’s business without regard to potential distortions. By eliminating potential differences in results of operations between periods caused by factors such as depreciation and amortization methods, historic cost and age of assets, financing and capital structures, taxation positions or regimes, restructuring, impairment and other charges and gain or loss on certain equity investments and asset sales, the Company believes that non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin and non-GAAP net income/loss can provide useful additional basis for comparing the current performance of the underlying operations being evaluated. By adjusting for the level of capital investment in operations, the Company believes that free cash flow can provide useful additional basis for understanding the Company’s ability to generate cash after capital investment and provides a comparison to peers with differing capital intensity.

Forward-Looking Statements

  (a)

The three months ended September 30, 2018 included other facility costs and pension withdrawal obligations related to facility closures, partially offset by a gain related to the disposition of the Company’s European printing business on September 28, 2018. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, the charges primarily resulted from a terminated supplier contract and the exit from certain operations and facilities.

 

  (b

Other charges related to the Company’s multi-employer pension plan withdrawal obligations unrelated to facility closures.

 

  (c)

For the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $55 million to recognize the impairment of goodwill for the Company’s former magazines, catalogs and retail inserts reporting unit in the former Print segment as a result of goodwill impairment tests performed as of September 30, 2017. As a result of the Company’s change in reportable segments and reporting units during the three months ended September 30, 2018, the non-cash charges were restated to the following reporting units: magazines and catalogs ($28 million) and logistics ($22 million) which are both included in the new Magazines, Catalogs and Logistics segment, and Continuum ($5 million) which is included in Continuum segment that is reported in the Other segment grouping.

 

(2)

Separation-related expenses: The three months ended September 30, 2017 included pre-tax charges of $1 million ($1 million after-tax) for one-time costs associated with becoming a standalone company.

(3)

Acquisition-related expenses: The three months ended September 30, 2018 included pre-tax charges of $2 million ($2 million after-tax) related to legal, accounting and other expenses associated with completed and contemplated acquisitions. The three months ended September 30, 2017 included pre-tax charges of $2 million ($1 million-after tax) for legal, accounting and other expenses associated with the completed and contemplated acquisitions.

(4)

Purchase accounting adjustments: The three months ended September 30, 2018 included pre-tax charges of $1 million ($1 million after-tax) as a result of changes to purchase price allocations related to prior acquisitions. The three months ended September 30, 2017 included pre-tax charges of $1 million ($1 million after-tax) as a result of purchase accounting inventory step-up adjustments associated with completed acquisitions.

(5)

Income tax adjustments: The three months ended September 30, 2018 included a $25 million non-cash write-off primarily due to a deferred tax asset related to the Company’s disposition of its European printing business.

Note: The income tax impact is calculated using the tax rate in effect for the non-GAAP adjustments.

The reported results of the Company include the results of acquired businesses from the acquisition date forward. The Company has provided this schedule to reconcile reported net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 to pro forma net sales as if the acquisitions took place as of January 1, 2017 for purposes of this schedule.

 

(1)

Adjusted for net sales of acquired businesses:

As the Company’s acquisition of RR Donnelley’s Print Logistics business (“Print Logistics”) occurred on July 2, 2018, there were no pro forma adjustments to net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2018. There were no other acquisitions during this period.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017, the adjustments for net sales of acquired businesses reflect the net sales of Print Logistics, The Clark Group, Inc.

(“CREEL”) (acquired August 17, 2017), and Fairrington Transportation Corp., F.T.C. Transport, Inc. and F.T.C. Services, Inc. (“Fairrington”) (acquired July 28, 2017).

 

(2)

Adjusted for the disposition of the Company’s retail offset printing facilities on June 5, 2018. As the disposition of the Company’s European printing business occurred on September 28, 2018, there were no pro forma adjustments to net sales during the three months ended September 30, 2018 or 2017. There were no dispositions during the three months ended September 30, 2017.

(3)

Adjusted for the impact of acquisitions and a disposition, changes in FX rates, pass-through paper sales and the Company’s adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASC 606”) on January 1, 2018.

Liquidity does not include uncommitted credit facilities, located outside of the U.S.

(2)

The Company has a $400 million senior secured revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) which expires on September 30, 2021. The Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a number of covenants, including, but not limited to, a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio and a maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in and calculated pursuant to the Revolving Credit Facility, that, in part, restrict the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, engage in mergers and consolidations, make restricted payments and dispose of certain assets. There were $229 million and $75 million of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

(3)

The Company would have had the ability to utilize $386 million of the $400 million Revolving Credit Facility and not have been in violation of the terms of the agreement as of September 30, 2018. Availability under the Revolving Credit Facility was reduced by $229 million in borrowings and $32 million related to outstanding letters of credit.

(4)

The leverage ratio calculation includes non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA since the respective closing date of each acquisition and does not include a full 12 months of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA.

(5)

The Consolidated Leverage Ratio as defined in the Credit Agreement was 2.79 at September 30, 2018 compared to a maximum permitted ratio under the Credit Agreement of 3.25, which steps down to 3.00 on March 31, 2019. The full definition of Consolidated Leverage Ratio is included in the Credit Agreement filed as an exhibit to the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2018.
