Restructuring and Impairment Charges

For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded net restructuring charges of $44.3 million for employee termination costs for 1,939 employees, of whom 1,719 were terminated as of December 31, 2015. These charges primarily related to two facility closures in the International segment, one facility closure in the Variable Print segment, one facility closure in the Publishing and Retail Services segment and the reorganization of certain operations. Additionally, the Company incurred lease termination and other restructuring charges of $17.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company also recorded $6.2 million of net impairment charges primarily related to buildings and machinery and equipment associated with facility closings. The fair values of the buildings and machinery and equipment were determined to be Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy and were estimated based on discussions with real estate brokers, review of comparable properties, if available, discussions with machinery and equipment brokers, dealer quotes and internal expertise related to the current marketplace conditions.

In the third quarter of 2015, as the result of the Company’s interim goodwill impairment review, the Company recorded non-cash charges of $13.7 million and $4.3 million to recognize the impairment of goodwill in the Europe and Latin America reporting units, respectively, both of which are within the International segment. The goodwill impairment charge in the Europe reporting unit was due to the announced reorganization of certain operations which resulted in a reduction in the estimated fair value of the reporting unit based on lower expectations of future revenue, profitability and cash flows as compared to the expectations as of the October 31, 2014 annual goodwill impairment test. The goodwill impairment charges were determined using Level 3 inputs, including discounted cash flow analyses, comparable marketplace fair value data and management’s assumptions in valuing the significant tangible and intangible assets.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded non-cash charges of $11.9 million for the impairment of intangible assets, including $9.2 million and $2.2 million related to the impairment of certain acquired customer relationship intangible assets in the labels reporting unit within the Variable Print segment and the Latin America reporting unit within the International segment, respectively. The impairment of the customer relationship intangible assets resulted from lower expectations of future revenue to be derived from those relationships. The impairment of the customer relationship assets was determined using Level 3 inputs and estimated based on cash flow analyses, which included management’s assumptions related to future revenues and profitability.

Other Charges

For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded charges of $24.6 million, including integration charges of $19.1 million for payments made to certain Courier employees upon the termination of Courier’s executive severance plan immediately prior to the acquisition and $5.5 million of charges for multi-employer pension plan withdrawal obligations unrelated to facility closures. The total liabilities for the withdrawal obligations associated with the Company’s decision to withdraw from all multi-employer pension plans included in accrued liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities are $11.3 million and $82.0 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2015. See Note 11 for further discussion of multi-employer pension plans.

The Company’s withdrawal liabilities could be affected by the financial stability of other employers participating in the plans and any decisions by those employers to withdraw from the plans in the future. While it is not possible to quantify the potential impact of future events or circumstances, reductions in other employers’ participation in multi-employer pension plans, including certain plans from which the Company has previously withdrawn, could have a material impact on the Company’s previously estimated withdrawal liabilities, consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

As a result of the acquisition of Courier, the Company participates in two multi-employer pension plans, one of which the Company’s contributions are approximately 85% of the total plan contributions. Both plans are estimated to be underfunded and have a Pension Protection Act zone status of critical (“red”). Red status identifies plans that are less than 65% funded.

Restructuring and Impairment Charges

For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recorded net restructuring charges of $30.3 million for employee termination costs for 654 employees, substantially all of whom were terminated as of December 31, 2015. These charges primarily related to the integration of Consolidated Graphics, including the closure of seven Consolidated Graphics facilities as well as one additional facility closure within the Variable Print segment, one facility closure within the Publishing and Retail Services segment and the reorganization of certain operations. Additionally, the Company incurred lease termination and other restructuring charges of $20.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, including charges related to multi-employer pension plan withdrawal obligations as a result of facility closures. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company also recorded $14.0 million of impairment charges primarily related to buildings and machinery and equipment associated with facility closings. The fair values of the buildings and machinery and equipment were determined to be Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy and were estimated based on discussions with real estate brokers, review of comparable properties, if available, discussions with machinery and equipment brokers, dealer quotes and internal expertise related to the current marketplace conditions.

As a result of the Company’s annual goodwill impairment test, the Company recorded non-cash charges of $18.1 million to recognize the impairment of goodwill in the magazines, catalogs and retail inserts reporting unit within the Publishing and Retail Services segment. The goodwill impairment charges resulted from a reduction in the estimated fair value of the reporting unit based on lower expectations of future revenue, profitability and cash flows as compared to expectations as of the last annual goodwill impairment test. The lower expectations for the magazines, catalogs and retail inserts reporting unit were due to accelerating volume declines and increasing price pressures resulting from declining demand, primarily in catalogs and magazines.  Revenue and income from operations in the magazines, catalogs and retail inserts reporting unit for the year ended December 31, 2014 were lower than previous expectations due to volume declines and price pressures. The goodwill impairment charges were determined using Level 3 inputs, including discounted cash flow analyses, comparable marketplace fair value data and management’s assumptions in valuing the significant tangible and intangible assets.

During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $7.8 million, $4.1 million and $1.7 million related to the impairment of acquired customer relationship intangible assets in the Canada reporting unit within the International segment, the commercial and digital print reporting unit within the Variable Print segment and the financial reporting unit within the Strategic Services segment, respectively. The impairment of the customer relationship intangible assets resulted from a decline in expected future revenue and certain customer losses in the Canada reporting unit, the loss of certain customers in the commercial and digital print reporting unit and a decline in Latin America’s expected future capital markets transactions revenue in the financial reporting unit. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company also recorded non-cash charges of $1.4 million related to the impairment of trade names in the commercial and digital print reporting unit within the Variable Print segment as a result of facility closures. The impairment of the customer relationship assets was determined using Level 3 inputs and estimated based on cash flow analyses, which included management’s assumptions related to future revenues and profitability.

Other Charges

For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recorded charges of $35.5 million as a result of its decision to withdraw from all multi-employer pension plans serving facilities that are currently operating. These charges for multi-employer pension plan withdrawal obligations, unrelated to facility closures, represent the Company’s best estimate of the expected settlement of these withdrawal liabilities. The total liabilities for the withdrawal obligations associated with the Company’s decision to withdraw from all multi-employer pension plans included in accrued liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities are $14.9 million and $88.1 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2014. See Note 11 for further discussion of multi-employer pension plans.

Restructuring and Impairment Charges

For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded net restructuring charges of $40.4 million for employee termination costs for 1,382 employees, all of whom were terminated as of December 31, 2015. These charges primarily related to the closing of two manufacturing facilities within the Publishing and Retail Services segment and one manufacturing facility within the Variable Print segment and the reorganization of certain operations. Additionally, the Company incurred lease termination and other restructuring charges of $33.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, of which $14.7 million related to multi-employer pension plan complete or partial withdrawal charges primarily attributable to manufacturing facility closures. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company also recorded $17.6 million of impairment charges primarily related to buildings and machinery and equipment associated with facility closings. The fair values of the buildings and machinery and equipment were determined to be Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy and were estimated based on discussions with real estate brokers, review of comparable properties, if available, discussions with machinery and equipment brokers, dealer quotes and internal expertise related to the current marketplace conditions.

During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company recorded non-cash charges of $3.3 million related to the impairment of acquired customer relationship intangible assets in the financial reporting unit within the Strategic Services segment. The impairment of the acquired customer relationship intangible assets resulted from declines in compliance services volume from these relationships. The impairment of the acquired customer relationship intangible assets was determined using Level 3 inputs and estimated based on a cash flow analysis, which included management’s assumptions related to future revenues and profitability. See Note 8 for further discussion of these Level 3 inputs.

Other Charges

For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded charges of $38.4 million as a result of its decision to withdraw from certain multi-employer pension plans.

The liabilities for these withdrawal obligations of $38.4 million were included in other noncurrent liabilities as of December 31, 2013. See Note 11 for further discussion of multi-employer pension plans.

The current portion of restructuring reserves of $29.1 million at December 31, 2015 was included in accrued liabilities, while the long-term portion of $34.6 million, primarily related to multi-employer pension plan withdrawal obligations related to facility closures and lease termination costs, was included in other noncurrent liabilities at December 31, 2015.

The Company anticipates that payments associated with the employee terminations reflected in the above table will be substantially completed by December 2016.

Payments on all of the Company’s multi-employer pension plan withdrawal obligations are scheduled to be substantially completed by 2034. Changes based on uncertainties in these estimated withdrawal obligations could affect the ultimate charges related to multi-employer pension plan withdrawals. See Note 11 for further discussion on multi-employer pension plans.

The restructuring liabilities classified as “lease terminations and other” consisted of lease terminations, other facility closing costs and contract termination costs. Payments on certain of the lease obligations are scheduled to continue until 2026. Market conditions and the Company’s ability to sublease these properties could affect the ultimate charges related to the lease obligations. Any potential recoveries or additional charges could affect amounts reported in the Company’s financial statements.

The restructuring reserve as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and changes during the year ended December 31, 2014, were as follows:
