NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise indicated)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “RRD”) and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2017. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include estimates and assumptions of management that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Spinoff Transactions

On October 1, 2016, the Company completed the separation of its financial communications and data services business (“Donnelley Financial Solutions, Inc.” or “Donnelley Financial”) and the publishing and retail-centric print services and office products business (“LSC Communications, Inc.” or “LSC”) into two separate publicly-traded companies (the "Separation"). The Company completed the tax-free distribution of 80.75% of the outstanding common stock of each Donnelley Financial and LSC to the Company’s stockholders of record on September 23, 2016 who received one share of each Donnelley Financial and LSC for every eight shares of RRD common stock owned as of the record date (the “Distribution”). The Company retained 19.25% of the outstanding common stock of each Donnelley Financial and LSC. The historical financial results of Donnelley Financial and LSC prior to the Separation, are presented as discontinued operations on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and, as such, have been excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented. Sales from RRD to Donnelley Financial and LSC previously eliminated in consolidation have been recast and are now shown as external sales within the financial results of continuing operations. These net sales were $72.5 million and $150.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. Unless indicated otherwise, the information in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements relates to the Company's continuing operations. Prior periods have been recast to reflect the Company's current segment reporting structure. See Note 2, Discontinued Operations, for more information on the Separation.

Reverse Stock Split

Immediately following the Distribution on October 1, 2016, the Company affected a one-for-three reverse stock split for RRD common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on September 14, 2016 and previously approved by the Company’s stockholders at the annual meeting on May 19, 2016. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the number of issued and outstanding and treasury shares of the Company’s common stock was reduced proportionally based on the Reverse Stock Split ratio of one share for every three shares of common stock held before the Reverse Stock Split.

Revision of Net Sales and Cost of Sales

During the third quarter of 2017, the Company identified an error in the accounting for certain contracts with an inventory buy-back option within the Asia reporting unit, which is in the International segment. As a result, the error, which was determined by management to be immaterial to the previously issued financial statements, has been corrected herein from the amounts previously reported. There was no impact to net earnings (loss) or net earnings (loss) per share, or the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income or Stockholders’ Equity. The following table presents the impact of the revision on net sales and cost of sales:

2. Discontinued Operations

Immediately following the Distribution, the Company held approximately 6.2 million shares of Donnelley Financial common stock and approximately 6.2 million shares of LSC common stock. The Company accounted for these investments as available-for-sale equity securities. In March 2017, the Company sold the 6.2 million shares of LSC common stock it retained upon spinoff for net proceeds of $121.4 million, resulting in a realized loss of $51.6 million, which was recorded within investment and other income-net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. In June 2017, the Company completed a non-cash debt-for-equity exchange in which RRD exchanged 6,143,208 of its retained shares of Donnelley Financial common stock for the extinguishment of $111.6 million in aggregate principal amount of RRD indebtedness. In August 2017, the Company disposed of its remaining 99,594 shares of Donnelley Financial common stock in exchange for the extinguishment of $1.9 million in aggregate principal amount of RRD indebtedness.  See Note 15, Debt, for additional details of these debt-for-equity transactions. As of September 30, 2017, the Company no longer held any shares of LSC or Donnelley Financial.  

The following details the financial results of discontinued operations:

	Three Months Ended			Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2016			September 30, 2016
Net sales	$	1,122.6		$	3,303.4
Cost of sales		879.1			2,534.7
Operating expenses (a)		170.0			592.0
Interest and other expense net (b)		104.0			139.5
(Loss) earnings before income taxes		(30.5	)		37.2
Income tax (benefit) expense		(1.4	)		21.4
Net (loss) earnings from discontinued operations	$	(29.1	)	$	15.8

(a) Includes spinoff transaction costs incurred of $27.0 million and $57.3 million during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016, respectively.  

(b) Includes the related interest expense of the corporate level debt which was retired in connection with the Separation totaling $17.8 million and $53.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. Also includes the losses on the extinguishment of corporate level debt executed in conjunction with the spinoff transactions totaling $85.3 million, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.  

The significant non-cash items and capital expenditures of discontinued operations were as follows:

	Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2016
Depreciation and amortization	$	159.0
Pension settlement charges		77.7
Impairment charges		1.5
Loss on debt extinguishments		85.3
Assumption of warehousing equipment related to customer contract		8.8
Purchase of property, plant and equipment		49.0

In connection with the Separation, the Company entered into transition services agreements with Donnelley Financial and LSC under which the companies will provide one another with certain services to help ensure an orderly transition following the Separation (the “Transition Services Agreements”). The charges for these services are intended to allow the companies, as applicable, to recover the direct and indirect costs incurred in providing such services. The Transition Services Agreements generally provide for a term of services starting at the Separation date and continuing for a period of up to twenty-four months following the Separation. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized $1.4 million and $6.4 million, respectively, as a reduction of costs within selling, general and administrative expenses within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations from the Transition Services Agreement.

Restructuring and Impairment Charges

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded net restructuring charges of $10.7 million and $19.5 million, respectively, for employee termination costs. These charges primarily relate to the reorganization of selling, general and administrative functions primarily within the Corporate, International and Variable Print segments, the termination of the Company’s relationship in a joint venture within the International segment and a facility closure in the Strategic Services segment. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded net impairment charges of $21.5 million and $21.7 million, respectively, primarily related to the $21.3 million impairment of the goodwill for the digital and creative solutions (“DCS”) reporting unit, which is included within the Strategic Services segment. The goodwill impairment charge in the DCS reporting unit was due to the notification from a major customer that they will be transitioning their business away from DCS beginning in the fourth quarter of 2017 as well as declines in sales with other existing customers which resulted in lower expectations of future revenues, profitability and cash flows compared to expectations as of the October 31, 2016 annual goodwill impairment test. As of September 30, 2017, the DCS reporting unit had no remaining goodwill. The goodwill impairment charges were determined using Level 3 inputs, including comparable marketplace fair value data and a discounted cash flow analysis. The remaining impairment charges recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, were primarily due to the impairment of equipment associated with the facility closure in the Strategic Services segment. Additionally, the Company incurred lease termination and other restructuring charges of $1.1 million and $3.8 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded net restructuring charges of $9.7 million and $20.7 million, respectively, for employee termination costs. These charges primarily related to two facility closures in the International segment and the reorganization of certain administrative functions and operations. Additionally, the Company incurred lease termination and other restructuring charges of $0.6 million and $2.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recognized $0.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively, of net gains on the sale of previously impaired assets, partially offset by impairment charges related to buildings and machinery and equipment associated with facility closures.

Other Charges

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded other charges of $0.5 million and $1.7 million and $0.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively, 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 multi-employer pension plans included in accrued liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities are $5.1 million and $32.4 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2017. 

The Company’s multi-employer pension plan 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.

Restructuring Reserve

The restructuring reserve as of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2017, and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, were as follows:

					Foreign
	December 31,		Restructuring		Exchange and			Cash			September 30,
	2016		Charges		Other			Paid			2017
Employee terminations	$	7.6	$	19.5	$	—		$	(13.5	)	$	13.6
Multi-employer pension withdrawal obligations		11.8		0.6		(0.1	)		(1.1	)		11.2

Total	$	21.0	$	23.3	$	1.1		$	(17.4	)	$	28.0

The current portion of restructuring reserves of $14.4 million at September 30, 2017 was included in accrued liabilities, while the long-term portion of $13.6 million, primarily related to multi-employer pension plan withdrawal obligations related to facility closures, was included in other noncurrent liabilities at September 30, 2017.

The Company anticipates that payments associated with the employee terminations reflected in the above table will be substantially completed by September 2018.

Payments on all of the Company’s multi-employer pension plan withdrawal obligations are scheduled to be completed by 2036. Changes based on uncertainties in these estimated withdrawal obligations could affect the ultimate charges related to multi-employer pension plan withdrawals.

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 2020. 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.

8. Employee Benefits

The components of the estimated net pension and other postretirement benefits plan income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were as follows:

Interest cost		2.7			3.1			8.3			9.2

Net other postretirement benefit income - continuing operations	$	(1.0	)	$	(23.0	)	$	(3.0	)	$	(29.7	)

The Company expects to make cash contributions of approximately $17.0 million to its pension and other postretirement benefit plans in 2017. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company contributed $12.4 million to its benefit plans.

In the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company communicated to certain former employees the option to receive a lump-sum pension payment or annuity with payments computed in accordance with statutory requirements, beginning in the second quarter of 2016.  Payments to eligible participants who elected to receive a lump-sum pension payment or annuity were funded from existing pension plan assets and liabilities were remeasured as of the payout date. The discount rates and actuarial assumptions used to calculate the payouts were determined in accordance with federal regulations. The company recorded total non-cash settlement charges of $1.6 million and $98.0 million, of which $0.3 million and $20.7 million is included within selling, general and administrative expenses and $1.3 million and $77.3 million is included within income from discontinued operations, net of tax in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operationsfor the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. These charges resulted from the recognition in earnings of a portion of the actuarial losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss based on the proportion of the obligation settled.  

During the third quarter of 2016, the Company announced the discontinuation of retiree medical, prescription drug and life insurance benefits for individuals retiring on or after October 1, 2016.  This change was accounted for as a significant plan amendment and the other postemployment benefit plan obligations were remeasured as of September 30, 2016.  This remeasurement resulted in a curtailment gain of $16.4 million within cost of sales and $3.3 million in selling, general and administrative expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

9. Share-Based Compensation

Share-based compensation expense from continuing operations totaled $2.1 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $6.4 million and $7.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

In March 2017, the Company awarded its annual share-based compensation grants, which consisted of 569,594 restricted stock units with a grant date fair value of $16.30 per unit and 304,425 performance share units with a grant date fair value of $16.30 per unit. The restricted stock units are subject to a three year graded vesting period. The performance share units are subject to a 34 month cliff vesting period. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company awarded 102,191 restricted stock units with a weighted average grant date fair value of $11.77 per share and a weighted average vesting period of 1.5 years.

10. Equity

The Company’s equity as of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2017, and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, were as follows:

	RRD

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded certain spinoff related adjustments within equity primarily resulting from the final pension asset valuation as required by the Separation and Distribution Agreement.

11. Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to RRD common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. In computing diluted earnings per share, basic earnings per share is adjusted for the assumed issuance of all potentially dilutive share-based awards, including stock options, restricted stock units and performance share units. Performance share units are considered anti-dilutive and excluded if the performance targets, upon which the issuance of the shares is contingent, have not been achieved and the respective performance period has not been completed as of the end of the current period. Additionally, stock options are considered anti-dilutive when the exercise price exceeds the average of the Company’s stock price during the applicable period. In periods when the Company is in a net loss from continuing operations, share-based awards are excluded from the calculation of earnings per share as their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, no shares of common stock were purchased by the Company; however, shares were withheld for tax liabilities upon the vesting of equity awards.

14. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is subject to laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. The Company provides for expenses associated with environmental remediation obligations when such amounts are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Such accruals are adjusted as new information develops or circumstances change and are generally not discounted. The Company has been designated as a potentially responsible party or has received claims in three active federal and state Superfund and other multiparty remediation sites. In addition to these sites, the Company may also have the obligation to remediate seven other previously and currently owned facilities. At the Superfund sites, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act provides that the Company’s liability could be joint and several, meaning that the Company could be required to pay an amount in excess of its proportionate share of the remediation costs.    

The Company’s understanding of the financial strength of other potentially responsible parties at the multiparty sites and of other liable parties at the previously owned facilities has been considered, where appropriate, in the determination of the Company’s estimated liability. The Company established reserves, recorded in accrued liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities, that it believes are adequate to cover its share of the potential costs of remediation at each of the multiparty sites and the previously and currently owned facilities. It is not possible to quantify with certainty the potential impact of actions regarding environmental matters, particularly remediation and other compliance efforts that the Company may undertake in the future. However, in the opinion of management, compliance with the present environmental protection laws, before taking into account estimated recoveries from third parties, will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

From time to time, the Company’s customers and others file voluntary petitions for reorganization under United States bankruptcy laws. In such cases, certain pre-petition payments received by the Company from these parties could be considered preference items and subject to return. In addition, the Company may be party to certain litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that the final resolution of these preference items and litigation will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

15. Debt

The Company’s debt at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 consisted of the following:  

	September 30,			December 31,
	2017			2016
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement	$	350.0		$	185.0
11.25% senior notes due February 1, 2019 (a)		172.2			172.2

6.00% senior notes due April 1, 2024		298.3			400.0
6.625% debentures due April 15, 2029		157.9			199.5
8.820% debentures due April 15, 2031		69.0			69.0

Unamortized debt issuance costs		(12.2	)		(16.5	)
Total debt		2,250.1			2,387.4
Less: current portion		(17.9	)		(8.2	)
Long-term debt	$	2,232.2		$	2,379.2

(a) As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the interest rate on the 11.25% senior notes due February 1, 2019 was 13.25%, the maximum rate on these notes, as a result of ratings downgrades.

(b) Includes miscellaneous debt obligations and capital leases.

The fair values of the senior notes and debentures, which were determined using the market approach based upon interest rates available to the Company for borrowings with similar terms and maturities, were determined to be Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Company’s debt was greater than its book value by approximately $38.9 million and $4.3 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

On September 29, 2017, the Company entered into an asset-based revolving credit facility pursuant to the second amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) which amended and restated the Company’s $800.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility dated September 30, 2016. The Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility of up to $800.0 million subject to a borrowing base. The amount available to be borrowed under the Credit Agreement is equal to the lesser of (a) $800.0 million and (b) the aggregate amount of accounts receivable, inventory, machinery and equipment and fee-owned real estate of the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”) (collectively, the “Borrowing Base”), subject to certain eligibility criteria and advance rates. The aggregate amount of real estate, machinery and equipment that can be included in the Borrowing Base cannot exceed $200.0 million. As a result of the amendment, the Company recognized a $6.2 million loss related to unamortized debt issuance costs and other expenses within loss on debt extinguishments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. Additionally, the Company had approximately $0.6  million of accrued financing fees as of September 30, 2017 related to this transaction.

The Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature on September 29, 2022, at which time all outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement will be due and payable. The proceeds of the loans under the Credit Agreement may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Any borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate dependent on the average quarterly availability under the Credit Agreement and will be calculated according to a base rate or a Eurocurrency rate plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for base rate loans ranges from 0.25% to 0.50% and the applicable margin for Eurocurrency loans ranges from 1.25% to 1.50%. In addition, an unused line fee is payable quarterly on the unused portion of the amount available to be borrowed under the Credit Agreement. The unused line fee accrues at a rate of either 0.250% or 0.375% depending upon the average usage of the facility.

The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Guarantors and are secured by a security interest in certain assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries, including accounts receivable, inventory, deposit accounts, securities

accounts, investment property, machinery and equipment and, to the extent related to the foregoing, general intangibles, documents, instruments and chattel paper, as well as 65% of the equity interests of their first-tier foreign subsidiaries.

The Credit Agreement contains customary restrictive covenants, including a covenant which requires the Company to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio under certain circumstances. In addition, the Company’s ability to undertake certain actions, including, among other things, prepay certain junior debt, incur additional unsecured indebtedness and make certain restricted payments depends on satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among other things, meeting minimum availability thresholds under the Credit Agreement.

The weighted average interest rate on borrowings under the credit facilities was 3.7% and 2.2% during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

On June 7, 2017, the Company repurchased $41.7 million of the 6.625% debentures due April 15, 2029, $59.4 million of the 6.50% senior notes due November 15, 2023 and $101.7 million of the 6.00% senior notes due April 1, 2024 using borrowings under the prior credit agreement. The repurchases resulted in a net gain of $0.8 million which was recognized within loss on debt extinguishments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 related to the difference between the fair value of the debt repurchased and the principal outstanding, partially offset by the premiums paid, unamortized debt issuance costs and other expenses.

On May 22, 2017, certain third party financial institutions (such financial institutions collectively, the “Third Party Purchasers”), launched cash tender offers for certain of the Company’s outstanding debt securities, including the Company’s 7.625% senior notes due June 15, 2020 and 7.875% senior notes due March 15, 2021. On June 7, 2017, the Third Party Purchasers purchased $111.6 million in aggregate principal amount of the 7.625% senior notes due June 15, 2020 (the “Third Party Purchase Notes”). On June 21, 2017, the Company exchanged 6,143,208 of its retained shares of Donnelley Financial for the Third Party Purchase Notes. The Company cancelled the Third Party Purchase Notes on June 21, 2017. As a result, the Company recognized a $14.4 million loss on debt extinguishment in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 related to premiums paid, unamortized debt issuance costs and other expenses. In addition, the Company recognized a net realized gain of $92.4 million resulting from the disposition of these retained shares of Donnelley Financial common stock within investment and other income-net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

On August 4, 2017, the Company disposed of its remaining 99,594 shares of Donnelley Financial common stock in exchange for $1.9 million in aggregate principal of the Company’s 7.875% senior notes due March 15, 2021 which were cancelled. As a result, the Company recognized a $0.3 million loss on debt extinguishments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, related to premiums paid, unamortized debt issuance costs and other expenses. In addition, the Company recognized a net realized gain of $1.6 million resulting from the disposition of these retained shares of Donnelley Financial common stock within investment and other income-net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Interest income was $0.8 million and $2.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and $1.9 million and $3.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.  

16. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate was 31.0% and 38.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively and (63.2%) and 80.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 reflects the impact of the disposition of the Donnelley Financial and LSC retained shares. The retained shares of Donnelley Financial were disposed in non-taxable debt-for-equity exchanges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. See Note 15, Debt, for additional details regarding the dispositions of the Donnelley Financial retained shares of common stock. The sale of LSC shares generated a capital loss which will be carried forward; however, it is more likely than not that the benefit of such deferred tax asset will not be realized and a valuation allowance was recorded. See Note 2, Discontinued Operations, for additional information regarding the sale of the LSC retained shares. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2017 reflects the impact of the impairment of goodwill in the DCS reporting unit and the inability to recognize a tax benefit on certain losses. The effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 reflects the impact of income generated in higher taxing jurisdictions and the inability to recognize a tax benefit on certain losses.

17. Derivatives

All derivatives are recorded as other current or noncurrent assets or other current or noncurrent liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at their respective fair values. Unrealized gains and losses related to derivatives are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable income taxes, or in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, depending on the purpose for which the derivative is held. For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the unrealized gain or loss related to the derivatives are generally recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) until the transaction affects earnings. For derivatives designated and that qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative, as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not meet the criteria for designation as a hedge at inception, or fail to meet the criteria thereafter, are recognized currently in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. At the inception of a hedge transaction, the Company formally documents the hedge relationship and the risk management objective for undertaking the hedge. In addition, the Company assesses both at inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivative in the hedging transaction has been highly effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedged item and whether the derivative is expected to continue to be highly effective. The impact of any ineffectiveness is also recognized currently in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company is exposed to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations in certain countries in which it operates. The exposure to foreign currency movements is limited in many countries because the operating revenues and expenses of its various subsidiaries and business units are substantially in the local currency of the country in which they operate. To the extent borrowings, sales, purchases, revenues, expenses or other transactions are not in the local currency of the subsidiary or operating unit, the Company is exposed to currency risk. Periodically, the Company uses foreign exchange spot, forward and swap contracts to hedge exposures resulting from foreign exchange fluctuations. Accordingly, the gains and losses associated with the fair values of foreign currency exchange contracts are recognized currently in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and are generally offset by gains and losses on underlying payables, receivables, borrowings and net investments in foreign subsidiaries. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The aggregate notional value of the foreign currency contracts at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $136.7 million and $172.2 million, respectively. The fair values of foreign currency contracts were determined to be Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy and are valued using market exchange rates.

On March 13, 2012, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate risk exposure, effectively changing the interest rate on $400.0 million of its fixed-rate senior notes to a floating-rate based on LIBOR plus a basis point spread. The interest rate swaps, with a notional value of $400.0 million at inception, were designated as fair value hedges against changes in the value of the Company’s $450.0 million 8.25% senior notes due March 15, 2019, which were attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate.  During 2014, the Company repurchased $211.1 million of the 8.25% senior notes due March 15, 2019, and related interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $210.0 million were terminated, resulting in payments of $4.2 million for the fair value of the interest rate swaps.  During the three months ended September 30, 2016, in connection with the tender of the Company’s 8.25% senior notes due March 15, 2019, the Company terminated the remaining $190.0 million notional value of the interest rate swap agreements which resulted in cash received of $2.5 million for the fair value of the interest rate swaps.  

The fair values of interest rate swaps were determined to be Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy and were developed using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on the expectation of future interest rates derived from observed market interest rate curves. In addition, credit valuation adjustments, which consider the impact of any credit enhancements to the contracts, are incorporated in the fair values to account for potential nonperformance risk. On at least a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates the credit value adjustments of the interest rate swap agreements, which take into account the possibility of counterparty and the Company’s own default.

The Company’s foreign currency contracts and interest rate swaps are subject to enforceable master netting agreements that allow the Company to settle positive and negative positions with the respective counterparties. The Company settles foreign currency contracts on a net basis when possible. Foreign currency contracts that can be settled on a net basis are presented net in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Interest rate swaps were settled on a gross basis and presented gross in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company manages credit risk for its derivative positions on a counterparty-by-counterparty basis, considering the net portfolio exposure with each counterparty, consistent with its risk management strategy for such transactions. The Company’s agreements with each of its counterparties contain a provision where the Company could be declared in default on its derivative obligations if it either defaults or, in certain cases, is capable of being declared in default of any of its indebtedness greater than specified thresholds. These agreements also contain a provision whereby the Company could be declared in default subsequent to a merger or restructuring type event if the creditworthiness of the resulting entity is materially weakened.

At September 30, 2017and December 31, 2016, the total fair value of the Company’s foreign currency contracts, which were the only derivatives not designated as hedges along with the accounts in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in which the fair value amounts were included, was as follows:

	September 30, 2017		December 31, 2016
Derivatives not designated as hedges
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	$	1.5	$	1.7
Accrued liabilities		1.0		1.5

18. Fair Value Measurements

Certain assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The following tables summarize the bases used to measure financial assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value on a recurring basis in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

			Basis of Fair Value Measurement
	Balance as of September 30, 2017		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)
Assets
Foreign currency contracts	$	1.5	$	1.5
Total assets	$	1.5	$	1.5
Liabilities
Foreign currency contracts		1.0		1.0
Total liabilities	$	1.0	$	1.0

			Basis of Fair Value Measurement

Total assets	$	330.4	$	330.4
Liabilities
Foreign currency contracts	1.5		1.5
Total liabilities	$	1.5	$	1.5

As of September 30, 2017, the Company no longer held investments in LSC or Donnelley Financial common stock.  As of December 31, 2016, the Company’s investment in LSC and Donnelley Financial common stock were categorized as Level 2 securities as these shares were not registered and were valued based upon the closing stock price on the balance sheet date as they represented an identical equity instrument registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

19. New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-07 “Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost,” which changes the presentation of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit cost (net benefit cost) within the Statement of Operations. Under the current guidance, net benefit cost is reported as an employee cost within operating income. The amendment requires the bifurcation of net benefit cost, with the service cost component to be presented with other employee compensation costs in operating income while the other components will be reported separately outside of income from operations. ASU No. 2017-07 will be effective in the first quarter of 2018 and is required to be retrospectively adopted. Had this guidance been adopted as of January 1, 2017, income from operations within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 would have been lower by $4.2 million and $12.5 million, respectively, and other non-operating income would have increased $4.2 million and $12.5 million, respectively.  

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04 “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” which eliminates Step 2 from the current goodwill impairment test, including determining the implied fair value of goodwill and comparing it with the carrying amount of that goodwill. The standard requires entities to record impairment charges based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. ASU No. 2017-04 will be effective in the first quarter of 2020; however early adoption is permitted for interim and annual goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2017-04 may impact the results of future goodwill impairment tests and therefore could impact the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. The Company has elected to early adopt this guidance and will apply this guidance to all impairment analyses performed after January 1, 2017.

(in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise indicated)

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18 “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash.” This update requires that restricted cash and cash equivalents be included as components of total cash and cash equivalents as presented on the statement of cash flows. ASU No. 2016-18 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017 and a retrospective transition method is required. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company currently presents changes in restricted cash and cash equivalents in the investing section of its Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The new guidance will not impact financial results, but will result in a change in the presentation of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15 “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” This update addresses whether to present certain specific cash flow items as operating, investing or financing activities. The amendments in this update are effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017 and are required to be retroactively adopted. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU No. 2016-15 on its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09 “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” Under the new guidance, when awards vest or are settled, the excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies are recorded as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement instead of within additional paid-in capital. This guidance will be applied prospectively. Furthermore, the guidance requires excess tax benefits to be presented as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows rather than as a financing activity, which can be applied retrospectively or prospectively. Under the new guidance, an election can be made regarding whether to account for forfeitures of share-based payments by recognizing forfeitures of awards as they occur or estimate the number of awards expected to be forfeited, as is currently required. This guidance is to be applied using a modified retrospective transition method, with a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings. The Company has adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2017. The adoption had an immaterial impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated financial statements.  

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)” which requires lessees to put most leases on the balance sheet but recognize expense on the income statement in a manner similar to current accounting. For lessors, ASU 2016-02 also modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. The standard requires a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements and is effective in the first quarter of 2019. Early adoption of ASU 2016-02 is permitted; however the Company plans to adopt the standard in the first quarter of 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue using a five-step process that supersedes virtually all existing revenue guidance. ASU 2014-09 also requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures. During 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net),” ASU 2016-10 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing,” and ASU 2016-12 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients,” which clarify the revenue recognition implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations, identifying performance obligations, determining whether an entity's promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use or a right to access the entity's intellectual property, assessing the collectability criteria, presentation of sales and similar taxes, noncash consideration and various other items. The amendments in these ASUs affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09, and the effective date and transition requirements are the same as those for ASU 2014-09 which, as amended by ASU 2015-14 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date,” will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The standard allows the option of either a full retrospective adoption, meaning the standard is applied to all periods presented, or a modified retrospective adoption, meaning the standard is applied only to the most current period.

Based upon preliminary results of management’s evaluation, the most impactful aspects of the guidance relate to the timing of recognition for the revenue from customized products over time versus at a point in time, as well as inventory billed but not yet shipped. The Company has amounts of customized products in the Variable Print and International segments which are currently recognized when the products are completed and shipped to the customer. Currently, the Company defers revenue for inventory billed but not yet shipped which under the new revenue standard, the Company may be able to recognize revenue for certain inventory billed but not yet shipped. The actual revenue recognition treatment required under this new standard will be dependent on contract specific terms. The Company is still in the process of evaluating and designing the necessary changes to its business processes, systems and controls to support recognition and disclosure under the new standard.The Company will adopt the standard in the first quarter of 2018 and currently anticipates applying the modified retrospective approach.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Company Overview

R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company (“RRD,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”), a Delaware corporation, helps organizations communicate more effectively by working to create, manage, produce, distribute and process content on behalf of our customers. We assist customers in developing and executing multichannel communication strategies that engage audiences, reduce costs, drive revenues and increase compliance. Our innovative content management offering, production platform, logistics services, supply chain management, outsourcing capabilities and customized consultative expertise assists our customers in the delivery of integrated messages across multiple media to highly targeted audiences at optimal times for customers in virtually every private and public sector. We have strategically located operations that provide local service and responsiveness while leveraging the economic, geographic and technological advantages of a global organization.

Spinoff Transactions

On October 1, 2016, we completed the previously announced separation of our financial communications and data services business (“Donnelley Financial Solutions, Inc.” or “Donnelley Financial”) and our publishing and retail-centric print services and office products business (“LSC Communications, Inc.” or “LSC”) into two separate publicly-traded companies (the "Separation"). We completed the tax free distribution of approximately 26.2 million shares, or 80.75%, of the outstanding common stock of Donnelley Financial and 26.2 million shares, or 80.75%, of the outstanding common stock of LSC, to RRD stockholders (the “Distribution”). The Distribution was made to RRD stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 23, 2016, who received one share of Donnelley Financial common stock and one share of LSC common stock for every eight shares of RRD common stock held as of the record date. As a result of the Distribution, Donnelley Financial and LSC are now independent public companies trading under the symbols “DFIN” and “LKSD”, respectively, on the New York Stock Exchange. Immediately following the Distribution, we held 6.2 million shares of Donnelley Financial common stock and 6.2 million shares of LSC common stock. As of September 30, 2017, we no longer held any shares of LSC or Donnelley Financial common stock.    

The financial results of Donnelley Financial and LSC for periods prior to the Distribution have been reflected within the disclosures of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations as discontinued operations. Additionally, sales from RRD to Donnelley Financial and LSC previously eliminated in consolidation have been recast and are now shown as external sales of RRD within the financial results of continuing operations. The Company’s cash flows for all periods prior to the October 1, 2016 Distribution include the impact of LSC and Donnelley Financial. See Note 1, Basis of Presentation, and Note 2, Discontinued Operations, to these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Reverse Stock Split

Immediately following the Distribution on October 1, 2016, we affected a one-for-three reverse stock split for RRD common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split was approved by our Board of Directors on September 14, 2016 and previously approved by our stockholders at the annual meeting on May 19, 2016. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the number of issued and outstanding and treasury shares of our common stock was reduced proportionally based on the Reverse Stock Split ratio of one share for every three shares of common stock held before the Reverse Stock Split. Refer to Note 1, Basis of Presentation, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Reverse Stock Split.

Revision of Net Sales and Cost of Sales

During the third quarter of 2017, the Company identified an error in the accounting for certain contracts with an inventory buy-back option within the Asia reporting unit, which is in the International segment. As a result, the error, which was determined by management to be immaterial to the previously issued financial statements, has been corrected herein from the amounts previously reported. Refer to Note 1, Basis of Presentation, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the revision.

For further information on the above acquisitions and dispositions, see Note 3, Acquisitions and Dispositions, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Executive Overview

Third Quarter Overview

Net sales increased by $9.3 million, or 0.5%, for the third quarter of 2017 compared to the same period in the prior year. There was a $5.3 million, or 0.3%, increase due to changes in foreign exchange rates. After including the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates, the increase in net sales was due to increased volume in the International segment driven by the Asia reporting unit, partially offset by lower volume in the Variable Print segment, lower postage pass-through sales in the Strategic Services segment and price pressures across the segments.

The Company continues to strategically assess opportunities to reduce its cost structure and enhance productivity throughout the business. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company realized cost savings from previous restructuring activities including the reorganization of administrative and support functions across all segments, as well as facility consolidations.  

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $12.6 million as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $7.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease in net cash flow from operating activities was driven by lower cash earnings, partially offset by thetiming of supplier and customer payments and lower interest, spinoff-related transaction and tax payments.

30

OUTLOOK

Competitive Environment

Our customers are in an evolving market. While the market is large and fragmented, there are tremendous changes occurring in how organizations need to create, manage, deliver and measure their communications. Key factors facing our customers include regulatory changes, sensitivity to economic conditions, raw material pricing volatility and USPS actions. In addition, technological changes, including the electronic distribution of documents and data, online distribution and hosting of media content, and advances in digital printing, print-on-demand and internet technologies, continue to impact the market for some of our products and services, such as statement printing and forms.

We work with our customers to create, manage, deliver and optimize their multichannel communications strategies by providing innovative solutions to meet increasing customer demands in light of the large and evolving marketplace. One of our competitive strengths is that we offer a wide array of communications products and services, including print and content management, which provide differentiated solutions for our customers. We are also able to manage the storage and distribution of products for our customers by offering warehousing and inventory management solutions that allow customers to store printed materials and to efficiently ship them using our platform. Our logistics business offers our customers access to our proprietary technology that is designed to determine the most efficient and cost-effective method of shipping depending on our customers’ needs. We believe our breadth of offerings provides us with a distinct competitive advantage. We have and will continue to develop and expand our creative and design, content management, digital and print production, supply chain management and distribution services to address our customers’ evolving needs while supporting the strategic objective of becoming a leading global provider of integrated communication products and services.

The print and related services industry, in general, continues to have excess capacity and remains highly competitive and fragmented.

We believe that, across our range of products and services, competition is based primarily on quality and the ability to service the special needs of customers at a competitive price. Therefore, we believe we need to continue to differentiate our product and service offerings and aggressively manage our cost structure to remain competitive.

We also operate in a highly competitive and fragmented market for commercial freight transportation and third-party logistics services. Primary competitors to our services include other national non-asset based third-party logistics companies, as well as regional or niche freight brokerages, asset-based carriers offering brokerage and/or logistics services, wholesale intermodal transportation service providers and rail carriers. In addition, we may from time to time compete against carriers’ internal sales forces or shippers’ internal transportation departments.

Seasonality

Advertising and consumer spending trends affect demand in several of the end-markets we serve.  As such, we have some seasonality in the second half of the year in our business, despite the breadth of our product and services offerings.

32

Raw Materials

The primary raw materials we use in our print businesses are paper and ink. We negotiate with leading suppliers to maximize our purchasing efficiencies. Some of the paper we use is supplied directly by customers. Variations in the cost and supply of certain paper grades and ink formulations used in the manufacturing process may affect the Company’s consolidated financial results. Paper prices fluctuated during the first nine months of 2017 and volatility in the future is expected. Generally, customers directly absorb the impact of changing prices on customer-supplied paper. With respect to paper we purchase, we have historically passed most changes in price through to our customers. We believe contractual arrangements and industry practice will support our continued ability to pass on any future paper price increases, but there is no assurance that market conditions will continue to enable us to successfully do so. We believe that the paper supply is consolidating, and there may be shortfalls in the future in supplies necessary to meet the demands of the entire marketplace. Higher paper prices and tight paper supplies may have an impact on customers’ demand for printed products. We resell waste paper and other print-related by-products. We also have undertaken various strategic initiatives to mitigate any foreseeable supply disruptions with respect to our ink requirements. We may be impacted by changes in prices for these by-products in the future.

We continue to monitor the impact of changes in the price of crude oil and other energy costs, which impact our ink suppliers, logistics operations and manufacturing costs. Crude oil, energy prices and market cost of transportation continue to be volatile. We believe our logistics operations will continue to be able to pass a substantial portion of any increases in fuel prices directly to our customers in order to offset the impact of related cost increases. Decreases in fuel prices are also passed on to customers which negatively impact sales and income from operations. However, our logistics operations is restricted in its ability to pass on increased cost of transportation costs to some customers in the short term. Therefore, increases in the market cost of transportation will negatively impact income from operations. We generally cannot pass on to customers the impact of higher energy prices on our manufacturing costs. We cannot predict sudden changes in energy prices and the impact that possible future changes in energy prices might have upon either future operating costs or customer demand or the related impact either will have on our consolidated annual results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Distribution

Our products are distributed to end-users through U.S. and foreign postal services, through retail channels, electronically or by direct shipment to customer facilities. Through our logistics operations, we manage the distribution of most customer products we print in the U.S. and Canada to maximize efficiency and reduce costs for customers.

As a leading provider of print logistics and among the largest mailers of Standard Mail in the U.S., we work closely with our customers and the USPS to offer innovative products and mail preparation services to minimize postage costs. While we do not directly absorb the impact of higher postal rates on our customers’ mailings, demand for products distributed through the U.S. or foreign postal services has been negatively impacted by increases in postal rates, as postal costs are a significant component of many customers’ cost structures.

Under the 2006 Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act (“PAEA”), it had been anticipated that postage for market dominant mail categories would increase annually by an amount equal to or slightly less than the Consumer Price Index (the “CPI”). On April 10, 2016, the USPS removed the exigent surcharge, which was approved in December 2013, resulting in a 4.3% decrease in postage rates for all significant mail categories.

The USPS implemented a CPI postage increase on January 22, 2017 of approximately 1.0%. In addition, there is a pending bi-partisan legislative proposal that seeks to stabilize the financial condition of the USPS, which among other things calls for restoring a 2.15% increase (approximately half of the exigent surcharge) on market-dominant mail products. Absent such legislative changes, the USPS filed with the Postal Regulatory Commission on October 6, 2017 for a price increase of 1.905% for First-Class Mail, 1.908% for Marketing Mail (aka Standard Mail), 1.924% for Periodicals Mail, 1.960% for Package Services Mail and 1.986% for Special Services to become effective January 21, 2018.

 Additionally, as required by PAEA, the Postal Regulatory Commission began a comprehensive review of the law on December 20, 2016, its 10 year anniversary, to determine if the current system for regulating rates and classes for market-dominant products is achieving the original objectives of the law. The study still in process and their recommendations are due by the end of 2017. The impact of these actions cannot currently be estimated.

Mail transportation services to the USPS facilities across the country accounted for approximately 31% of the Company’s logistics revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Goodwill Impairment Assessment

We perform our goodwill impairment tests annually as of October 31, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. As part of its interim review for indicators of impairment, management analyzed potential changes in the value of individual reporting units with goodwill based on each reporting unit’s operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to expected results. In addition, management considered how other key assumptions, including discount rates and expected long-term growth rates, used in the last fiscal year’s impairment analysis, could be impacted by changes in market conditions and economic events.

Management considered trends in these factors when performing its assessment of whether an interim impairment review was required for any reporting unit. During the third quarter of 2017, the Company recognized a non-cash charge of $21.3 million for the impairment of goodwill in the digital and creative solutions reporting unit which is included within the Strategic Services segment. The goodwill impairment charge in the digital and creative solutions reporting unit was due to the notification from a major customer that they will be transitioning their business away from digital and creative solutions beginning in the fourth quarter of 2017, as well as declines in sales with other existing customers which resulted in lower expectations of future revenues, profitability and cash flows as compared to the expectations as of the October 31, 2016 annual goodwill impairment test. As of September 30, 2017, the digital and creative solutions reporting unit had no remaining goodwill. Based on the September 30, 2017 interim assessment, management concluded that other than the goodwill impairment recognized in the digital and creative solutions reporting unit, no events or changes in circumstances indicated that it was more likely than not that the fair value for any reporting unit had declined below its carrying value. Nevertheless, significant changes in economic and market conditions could result in changes to expectations of future financial results and key valuation assumptions. Such changes could result in revisions of management’s estimates of the fair value of the Company’s reporting units and could result in a material impairment of goodwill as of October 31, 2017, the Company’s next annual measurement date.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans

The funded status of our pension and other postretirement benefits plans is dependent upon many factors, including returns on invested assets and the level of certain market interest rates. Market conditions may lead to changes in the discount rates (used to value the year-end benefit obligations of the plans) and the market value of the securities held by the plans, which could significantly increase or decrease the funded status of the plans. We review the actuarial assumptions on an annual basis as of December 31. Based on current estimates, we expect to make cash contributions of approximately $17.0 million to our pension and other postretirement benefits plans for the full year 2017, of which $12.4 million has been contributed during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.  

Income taxes

As of December 31, 2016 the Company had approximately $70.0 million of U.S. deferred tax assets which at this time, we believe is more likely than not that we will realize these deferred tax assets. However, in the next twelve months we may be required to establish a valuation allowance to reduce the carrying value of certain U.S. deferred tax assets.

Consolidated

Net sales of products for the three months ended September 30, 2017 decreased $5.8 million, or 0.4%, to $1,322.0 million versus the same period in 2016, including a $5.1 million, or 0.4%, increase due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Net sales of products decreased due to higher volume within the Asia reporting unit, partially offset by lower volume in the Variable Print and Strategic Services segments and certain other reporting units within the International segment, as well as price pressures.

Net sales from services for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased $15.1 million, or 3.8%, to $412.9 million versus the same period in 2016, including a $0.2 million, or 0.1%, increase due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Net sales increased primarily due to higher volume as well as increased fuel surcharges in logistics, partially offset by lower postage pass-through sales within logistics, lower volume in business process outsourcing and price pressures.

Products cost of sales increased $33.4 million, or 3.2%, for the three months ended September 30, 2017 versus the same period in the prior year, primarily due to higher volume and start-up costs within the Asia reporting unit as well as cost inflation, partially offset by lower volume in the Variable Print segment and certain reporting units within the International segment, along with cost control initiatives across the organization. As a percentage of net sales, products cost of sales increased 2.9 percentage points for the three months ended September 30, 2017 versus the same period in 2016, primarily due to an unfavorable mix across the segments.

Services cost of sales increased $15.7 million, or 4.7%, for the three months ended September 30, 2017 versus the same period in the prior year. Services cost of sales increased primarily due to higher volume in freight brokerage and higher costs of transportation in the logistics reporting unit, partially offset by lower postage pass-through sales within logistics and reduced business process outsourcing volume. As a percentage of net sales, services cost of sales increased 0.8 percentage points for the three months ended September 30, 2017 versus the same period in 2016, primarily due to unfavorable revenue mix in business process outsourcing.

Products gross profit decreased $39.2 million to $257.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 versus the same period in 2016 primarily due to price pressures and an unfavorable mix in the Variable Print and International segments, partially offset by cost control initiatives. Products gross margin decreased from 22.4% to 19.5%, driven by price pressures and an unfavorable revenue mix within the International and Variable Print segment, partially offset by cost control initiatives.

Services gross profit decreased $0.6 million to $66.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 versus the same period in 2016 due to decreased volume in the business processing outsourcing reporting unit, an unfavorable revenue mix and higher

35

costs of transportation in the logistics reporting unit and price pressures, partially offset by increased fuel surcharges in the logistics reporting unit. Services gross margin decreased from 16.9% to 16.1%, reflecting an unfavorable revenue mix and price pressures.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $10.4 million to $207.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 versus the same period in 2016 reflecting lower corporate and other overhead costs related to our operations prior to the Separation, lower healthcare costs and cost control initiatives, partially offset by higher transactional foreign currency expense and higher variable incentive compensation. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from 12.6% to 12.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 versus the same period in 2016, due to the impact of the aforementioned expenses.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded net restructuring, impairment and other charges of $33.8 million. These charges included a non-cash charge of $21.3 million for the impairment of goodwill in the digital and creative solutions reporting unit within the Strategic Services segment. The charges also included $10.7 million for employee termination costs, which were related to the reorganization of selling, general and administrative functions primarily within the Corporate and International segments. The Company also incurred lease termination and other restructuring costs of $1.1 million and net impairment charges for other long-lived assets of $0.2 million primarily related to the impairment of equipment in the Variable Print segment during the three months ended September 30, 2017. Additionally, the Company recorded $0.5 million of other charges for multi-employer pension plan withdrawal obligations unrelated to facility closures. Refer to Note 7, Restructuring, Impairment and Other Charges, within the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

For the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded net restructuring, impairment and other charges of $10.8 million. The Company recorded $9.7 million of employee termination costs, primarily related to the reorganization of certain administrative functions and operations. The Company also recorded lease termination and other restructuring charges of $0.6 million and $0.6 million of other charges related to multi-employer pension plan withdrawal obligations unrelated to facility closures for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Additionally, the Company recorded $0.1 million of net gains related to buildings and machinery and equipment associated with facility closures. Refer to Note 7, Restructuring, Impairment and Other Charges, within the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Depreciation and amortization decreased $4.0 million to $47.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 primarily due to lower capital spending in recent years compared to historical levels and certain International customer relationship intangible assets becoming fully amortized since the prior year. Depreciation and amortization included $7.1 million and $8.0 million of amortization of other intangible assets related to customer relationships, trade names, trademarks, licenses and agreements for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

For the three months ended September 30, 2016, other operating expense was $0.3 million, which consisted of a net loss on the sale of entities in the International segment.

Income from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $35.9 million, a decrease of $48.1 million, or 57.3%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease was due to higher restructuring, impairment and other charges, the prior year OPEB curtailment gains, lower volume in certain reporting units within the International and Variable Print segments, price pressures, start-up costs within the Asia reporting unit and higher transactional foreign currency expense, partially offset by lower corporate and other overhead costs related to our operations prior to the Separation, higher volume in the Asia reporting unit, lower healthcare costs and depreciation and amortization expense and cost control initiatives.

Investment and other income-net for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $2.8million and $1.0 million, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized a non-cash net realized gain of $1.6 million on the retained shares of Donnelley Financial exchanged for certain of the Company’s senior notes outstanding. See Note 15, Debt, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details of the debt-for-equity exchange.

Loss on debt extinguishments for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $6.5 million which related to unamortized debt issuance costs, premiums paid and other expenses associated with the amendment and restatement of the credit agreement as well as the debt-for-equity exchange of senior notes during the three months ended September 30, 2017. Refer to Note 15, Debt, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details.

37

decreased due to lower volume primarily in commercial and digital print, direct mail and forms and price pressures, partially offset by higher volume in statement printing and labels. An analysis of net sales by reporting unit follows:

• Commercial and digital print: Sales decreased as a result of lower volume and price pressures.

• Direct mail: Sales decreased as a result of lower volume and price pressures, partially offset by incremental sales from the 2016 acquisition of Precision Dialogue.

• Statement printing: Sales increased as a result of higher volume.

• Labels: Sales increased as a result of higher pressure sensitive, prime and integrated labels volume, partially offset by price pressures.

• Forms: Sales decreased as a result of lower volume.

Variable Print segment income from operations decreased $10.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, primarily due to lower volume and unfavorable mix within commercial and digital print and price pressures, partially offset by a favorable mix within statement printing. Operating margins decreased from 6.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2016 to 5.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 due to an unfavorable mix within commercial and digital print and price pressures, partially offset by cost control initiatives and a favorable mix within statement printing. Higher restructuring, impairment and other charges unfavorably impacted operating margins by 0.3 percentage points.

Total Strategic Services	$	443.7	$	445.0	$	(1.3	)		(0.3	%)

Net sales for the Strategic Services segment for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were $443.7 million, a decrease of $1.3 million, or 0.3%, compared to 2016. Net sales decreased primarily due to lower postage pass-through sales in logistics, lower volume in sourcing and digital and creative solutions and price pressures, partially offset by higher volume in freight brokerage and increased fuel surcharges in logistics. An analysis of net sales by reporting unit follows:

• Logistics: Sales increased primarily due to higher volume in freight brokerage and an increase in fuel surcharge revenues, partially offset by a decrease in postage pass-through sales, lower volume in print logistics and price pressures.

• Sourcing: Sales decreased primarily due to lower volume.

• Digital and creative solutions: Sales increased slightly due to incremental revenue from the acquisition of Precision Dialogue in August 2016, partially offset by lower photo and prepress volume.

Strategic Services segment income from operations decreased $28.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, mainly due to the $21.3 million impairment of goodwill in the digital and creation solutions reporting unit, an unfavorable revenue mix, higher cost of transportation and price pressures within logistics and lower volume in digital and creative solutions, partially offset by increased fuel surcharges. Operating margins decreased from 3.0% to (3.3%), primarily due to higher restructuring, impairment and other charges, an unfavorable revenue mix within the segment and price pressures, partially offset by favorable fuel surcharges in logistics, productivity and cost control initiatives. Higher restructuring, impairment and other charges favorably impacted operating margins by 4.7 percentage points.

Net sales increased due to higher volume in Asia, partially offset by lower volume in Global Turnkey Solutions, business process outsourcing and Canada, as well as price pressures. An analysis of net sales by reporting unit follows:

• Asia: Sales increased due to higher volume primarily in packaging and book products, partially offset by price pressures.

• Global Turnkey Solutions: Sales decreased primarily due to lower volume in supply chain, books and packaging, partially offset by favorable changes in foreign exchange rates.

• Business process outsourcing: Sales decreased due to lower volume and price pressures.

• Canada: Sales decreased due to lower volume in commercial print and statement printing, partially offset by favorable changes in foreign exchange rates.

• Latin America: Sales increased primarily due to favorable changes in foreign exchange rates across the region and higher volume.

International segment income from operations decreased $15.4 million primarily due to lower volume in Global Turnkey Solutions and business process outsourcing, cost inflation, higher transactional foreign currency expense, price pressures and start-up costs in Asia, partially offset by increased volume in Asia. Operating margins decreased from 7.3% to 3.9%, driven by lower volume in Global Turnkey Solutions and business process outsourcing, higher transactional foreign currency expense, price pressures, start-up costs in Asia and higher restructuring, impairment and other charges, partially offset by increased volume in Asia. Higher restructuring, impairment and other charges unfavorably impacted operating margins by 0.2 percentage points.

Net sales of products for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased $58.4 million, or 1.5%, to $3,830.9 million versus the prior year period, including a $7.9 million, or 0.2%, decrease due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Net sales of products increased due to higher volume within the Asia and sourcing reporting units, partially offset by lower volume in the Variable Print segment and certain other reporting units within the International segment, as well as price pressures.  

Net sales from services for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 decreased $18.7 million to $1,182.9 million versus the same period in 2016, including an $8.2 million, or 0.7%, decrease due to change in foreign exchange rates. Net sales decreased primarily due to lower postage pass-through sales within logistics, lower volume in business process outsourcing and price pressures, partially offset by higher volume in freight brokerage and courier services as well as increased fuel surcharges within the logistics reporting unit.  

40

Products cost of sales increased $107.6 million, or 3.6%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 versus the same period in the prior year, primarily due to higher volume within the Asia and sourcing reporting units as well as cost inflation, partially offset by lower volume in the Variable Print segment and certain reporting units within the International segment and cost control initiatives across the organization. As a percentage of net sales, products cost of sales increased 1.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 versus the same period in the prior year, primarily due to an unfavorable mix across the segments.    

Services cost of sales decreased $10.1 million, or 1.0%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 versus the same period in the prior year. Services cost of sales decreased primarily due to lower postage pass-through sales within logistics and reduced business process outsourcing volume, partially offset by higher volume in freight brokerage and courier services and higher costs of transportation in the logistics reporting unit. As a percentage of net sales, services cost of sales increased 0.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 versus the same period in the prior year driven by an unfavorable revenue mix in business process outsourcing and the logistics reporting unit.

Products gross profit decreased $49.2 million to $765.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 versus the same period in 2016 primarily due to price pressures and lower volume in certain International reporting units and the Variable Print segment, partially offset by higher volume in the Asia reporting unit and cost control initiatives. Products gross margin decreased from 21.6% to 20.0%, driven by price pressures and an unfavorable revenue mix within much of the International and Variable Print segments and the sourcing reporting unit, partially offset by cost control initiatives.  

Services gross profit decreased $8.6 million to $190.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 versus the same period in 2016 due to lower business process outsourcing volume and price pressures, partially offset by increased fuel surcharges within the logistics reporting unit. Services gross margin decreased from 16.5% to 16.1%, primarily reflecting an unfavorable revenue mix.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $37.4 million to $643.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 versus the same period in 2016, due to the pension settlement charge in the prior year period, lower corporate and other overhead costs related to our operations prior to the Separation, lower bad debt and legal expenses and cost control initiatives, partially offset by higher transactional foreign currency expense, higher variable incentive compensation expense and lower pension and other post-retirement benefits income. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from 13.7% to 12.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 versus the same period in 2016, due to the impact of the aforementioned expenses.  

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded net restructuring, impairment and other charges of $46.7 million. These charges included a non-cash charge of $21.3 million for the impairment of goodwill in the digital and creative solutions reporting unit within the Strategic Services segment as well as $19.5 million of employee termination costs, which were related to the reorganization of selling, general and administrative functions primarily within the Corporate, International and Variable Print segments, ceasing the Company’s relationship in a joint venture within the International segment and one facility closure in the Strategic Services segment. The Company also incurred lease termination and other restructuring charges of $3.8 million and net impairment charges for other long-lived assets of $0.4 million for impairment of equipment primarily related to a facility closure in the Strategic Services segment, partially offset by a net gain recognized on the sale of previously impaired equipment during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Additionally, the Company recorded $1.7 million of other charges for multi-employer pension plan withdrawal obligations unrelated to facility closures.  Refer to Note 7, Restructuring, Impairment and Other Charges, within the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.  

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded net restructuring, impairment and other charges of $24.3 million. The Company recorded $20.7 million of employee termination costs, primarily due to two facility closures in the International segment and the reorganization of certain administrative functions and operations.  The Company also recorded lease termination and other restructuring charges of $2.9 million and $1.7 million of other charges related to multi-employer pension plan withdrawal obligations unrelated to facility closures for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Additionally, the Company recorded $1.0 million of net gains on the sale of previously impaired assets, partially offset by impairment charges related to buildings and machinery and equipment associated with facility closures.  Refer to Note 7, Restructuring, Impairment and Other Charges, within the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.  

Depreciation and amortization decreased $10.4 million to $143.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 primarily due to lower capital spending in recent years compared to historical levels and certain International customer relationship intangible assets becoming fully amortized since the prior year quarter. Depreciation and amortization included $21.6 million and $25.7 million of amortization of other intangible assets related to customer relationships, trade names, trademarks, licenses and agreements for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, other operating income was $12.0 million, which consisted of a net gain on the sale of entities in the International segment.

41

Income from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $121.9 million, a decrease of $44.4 million, or 26.7%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease was due to lower volume in certain reporting units within the International and Variable Print segments, price pressures, higher restructuring, impairment and other charges, the prior year OPEB curtailment gains, the prior year net gain on the sale of entities in the International segment and higher transactional foreign currency expense, partially offset by the prior year pension settlement charge, lower corporate and other overhead costs related to our operations prior to the Separation, higher volume in the Asia reporting unit, reduced bad debt, legal and depreciation and amortization expenses and cost control initiatives.

Net interest expense decreased by $13.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 versus the same period in 2016, primarily due to lower average borrowings and a lower weighted average interest rate during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.  

Net investment and other income-net for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 of $47.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded a non-cash net realized gain of $94.0 million on the retained shares of Donnelley Financial exchanged for certain of the Company’s senior notes outstanding and a gain of $1.3 million resulting from the sale of certain of the Company’s affordable housing investments, partially offset by a net realized loss of $51.6 million resulting from the sale of the Company’s retained shares of LSC.  

Loss on debt extinguishments for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $20.1 million which related to premiums paid in connection with the tenders, unamortized debt issuance costs and other expenses associated with the debt-for-equity exchange of senior notes, the repurchase of debentures and senior notes and the amendment and restatement of the credit agreement. Refer to Note 15, Debt, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details.

The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was (63.2%) compared to 80.1% in the same period in 2016. The income tax rate for the period ended nine months ended September 30, 2017 reflects the impact of impairment of goodwill in the digital and creative solutions reporting unit, the inability to recognize a tax benefit on certain losses and the impact of the net gain on the disposition of investments. The Donnelley Financial retained shares were disposed in a non-taxable debt-for-equity exchange. The sale of the LSC retained shares generated a capital loss which will be carried forward; however, it is more likely than not that the benefit of such deferred tax asset will not be fully realized and a valuation allowance was recorded. The income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 reflects the impact of income generated in higher taxing jurisdictions and the inability to recognize a tax benefit on certain losses.

Income attributable to noncontrolling interests was $0.7 million and $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  

Net earnings from continuing operations, excluding the impact from non-controlling interests, attributable to RRD common stockholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $18.4 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, compared to $2.4 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Net sales for the Variable Print segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $2,279.6 million, a decrease of $32.2 million, or 1.4%, compared to 2016, including a $0.2 million increase due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Net sales decreased due to lower volume primarily in commercial and digital print, direct mail, forms and price pressures, partially offset by the incremental sales from the Precision Dialogue acquisition. An analysis of net sales by reporting unit follows:

• Commercial and digital print: Sales decreased as a result of lower transactional commercial print volume and price pressures, partially offset by higher volume with a large customer.  

• Direct mail: Sales decreased as a result of lower volume and price pressures, partially offset by incremental sales from the 2016 acquisition of Precision Dialogue.  

• Statement printing: Sales increased as a result of increased volume, partially offset by price pressures.  

• Labels: Sales decreased slightly as a result of price pressures, partially offset by increased pressure sensitive, prime and integrated labels volume.  

• Forms: Sales decreased due to lower volume, primarily as a result of electronic substitution.

Variable Print segment income from operations decreased $29.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily due to lower volume within commercial and digital print and direct mail, price pressures and higher variable incentive compensation, partially offset by a favorable mix within statement printing, labels and forms. Operating margins decreased from 6.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to 5.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 due to lower volume and an unfavorable mix within commercial and digital print and direct mail and price pressures, partially offset by cost control initiatives and a favorable mix within statement printing, labels and forms. Higher restructuring, impairment and other charges unfavorably impacted operating margins by 0.1 percentage points.

Net sales for the Strategic Services segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $1,274.3 million, an increase of $44.7 million, or 3.6%, compared to 2016. Net sales increased primarily due to higher volume in sourcing, freight brokerage and courier services and increased fuel surcharges in logistics, partially offset by lower postage pass-through sales in logistics.  An analysis of net sales by reporting unit follows:

• Logistics: Sales decreased primarily due to a decrease in postage pass-through sales in pre-sort and international mail services, lower volume in print logistics and price pressures, partially offset by higher volume in freight brokerage and courier services and an increase in fuel surcharge revenues.  

• Sourcing: Sales increased primarily due to higher volume resulting from the commercial agreements entered into as part of the Separation and higher commercial and forms volume, partially offset by lower volume in labels.  

• Digital and creative solutions: Sales increased due to incremental revenue from the 2016 acquisition of Precision Dialogue, partially offset by lower prepress and photo volume.  

Strategic Services segment income from operations decreased $32.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, mainly due to the impairment of goodwill in digital and creative solutions, lower volume in print logistics and digital and creative solutions, price pressures, higher costs of transportation in logistics and higher variable incentive compensation, partially offset by increased fuel surcharges within logistics and productivity and cost control initiatives. Operating margins decreased from 2.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to (0.5%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily due to higher restructuring, impairment and other charges, unfavorable mix within the segment, price pressures and higher variable incentive compensation, partially offset by favorable fuel surcharges in logistics, increased productivity and cost control initiatives. Higher restructuring, impairment and other charges negatively impacted operating margins by 1.7 percentage points.

Net sales in the International segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $1,459.9 million, an increase of $27.2 million, or 1.9%, compared to the same period in 2016, inclusive of a $16.3 million, or 1.1%, decrease due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Net sales increased due to higher volume in Asia, partially offset by lower volume in Global Turnkey Solutions, business process outsourcing and Canada, as well as price pressures. An analysis of net sales by reporting unit follows:

• Asia: Sales increased due to higher volume primarily in packaging and books products, partially offset by an unfavorable change in foreign exchange rates and price pressures.  

• Global Turnkey Solutions: Sales decreased primarily due to lower volume in books and packaging, partially offset by favorable price changes.

• Business process outsourcing: Sales decreased due to lower volume, changes in foreign exchange rates and price pressures.

• Canada: Sales decreased due to lower volume in commercial print, statement printing, forms and labels, partially offset by favorable changes in foreign exchange rates across the region.

• Latin America: Sales increased primarily due to favorable changes in foreign exchange rates across the region.

International segment income from operations decreased $48.0 million primarily due to lower volume in Global Turnkey Solutions, Canada and business process outsourcing, the prior year $12.6 million gain recognized on the sale of businesses, higher costs of transactional foreign exchange expense, as well as price pressures, higher restructuring, impairment and other charges and higher variable incentive compensation, partially offset by increased volume in Asia and lower bad debt expense. Operating margins decreased from 7.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to 3.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, driven by the prior year $12.6 million gain recognized on the sale of businesses, lower volume in Global Turnkey Solutions, Canada and business process outsourcing, higher transactional foreign exchange expense, price pressures, higher restructuring, impairment and other charges and higher variable incentive compensation, partially offset by increased packaging volume in Asia and lower bad debt expense. The prior year gain on the sale of businesses and higher restructuring, impairment and other charges negatively impacted operating margins by 0.9 and 0.2 percentage points, respectively.

Corporate operating expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $39.1 million, a decrease of $65.7 million compared to the same period in 2016. The decrease was primarily driven by the prior year pension settlement charge, lower corporate and other overhead costs related to the pre-Separation combined entity, lower legal and bad debt expenses, cost control initiatives and lower restructuring, impairment and other charges-net, partially offset by the prior year OPEB curtailment gain, lower pension and postretirement plan income, higher variable incentive compensation and spinoff-related transaction expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company believes it has sufficient liquidity to support its ongoing operations and to invest in future growth to create value for its stockholders. Operating cash flows and available capacity under the Company’s $800.0 million asset-based senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) are the Company’s primary sources of liquidity and are expected to be used for, among other things, payment of interest and principal on the Company’s long-term debt obligations, distributions to stockholders that may be approved by the Board of Directors, acquisitions, capital expenditures necessary to support productivity improvement and growth and completion of restructuring programs.

The following describes the Company’s cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. The Company’s cash flows for all periods prior to the October 1, 2016 Distribution include the impact of LSC and Donnelley Financial. Refer to Note 2, Discontinued Operations, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information on the significant non-cash items, capital expenditures and depreciation and amortization related to LSC and Donnelley Financial.

Cash Flows From Operating Activities

Operating cash inflows are largely attributable to sales of the Company’s products and services. Operating cash outflows are largely attributable to recurring expenditures for raw materials, labor, rent, interest, taxes and other operating activities.

Net cash used in operating activities was $12.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $7.8 million during the same period in 2016. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was driven by lower cash earnings, partially offset by the timing of supplier and customer payments and lower interest, spinoff-related transaction and tax payments.

Cash Flows From Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $48.0 million compared to net cash used in investing activities of $167.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Capital expenditures were $77.2 million during the first nine months of 2017, a decrease of $70.7 million as compared to the same period of 2016 primarily driven by LSC and Donnelley Financial capital expenditures in the prior year period of $49.0 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, cash provided by investing activities included net proceeds of $121.4 million from the sale of the Company’s retained interest in LSC. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company paid $47.5 million to acquire Precision Dialogue. Additionally, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, cash used in investing activities included $13.7 million of proceeds primarily from business dispositions in the International segment.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $139.1 million compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $187.4 million in the same period in 2016. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the

46

Company had $1,000.0 million and $1,165.0 million of payments and borrowings, respectively, under the Company’s credit facilities, compared to none in the prior year period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company paid approximately $200.4 million to repurchase certain senior notes and debentures outstanding through borrowings under the Company’s credit facilities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company repurchased $503.6 million of aggregate principal of senior notes using the proceeds from the issuance of senior notes and senior secured term loan B facilities of $450.0 million and $725.0 million, respectively, issued by its formerly, wholly-owned subsidiaries LSC and Donnelley Financial, which proceeds were received as distributions by the Company immediately prior to the Separation. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, cash on hand and the borrowings under the prior credit agreement were used to pay $219.8 million of the 8.60% senior notes that matured on August 15, 2016.  

Additionally, dividends paid decreased $133.8 million from $163.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $29.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company paid the final spinoff cash settlement of $78.0 million to LSC and Donnelley Financial as required by the Separation and Distribution agreement.

LIQUIDITY

Cash and cash equivalents of $225.8 million as of September 30, 2017 included $41.2 million in the U.S. and $184.6 million at international locations. The Company’s foreign subsidiaries are expected to make payments of approximately $17.9 million during the remainder of 2017 in satisfaction of intercompany obligations. The Company has recognized deferred tax liabilities of $5.7 million as of September 30, 2017 related to local taxes on certain foreign earnings that are not considered to be permanently reinvested. Certain other cash balances of foreign subsidiaries may be subject to U.S. or local country taxes if repatriated to the U.S. In addition, repatriation of some foreign cash balances is further restricted by local laws. Management regularly evaluates whether foreign earnings are expected to be permanently reinvested. This evaluation requires judgment about the future operating and liquidity needs of the Company and its foreign subsidiaries. Changes in economic and business conditions, foreign or U.S. tax laws, or the Company’s financial situation could result in changes to these judgments and the need to record additional tax liabilities.

Included in cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2017 were $23.8 million of short-term investments, which primarily consisted of short-term deposits and money market funds. These investments are held at institutions with sound credit ratings and are expected to be highly liquid.

In March 2017, the Company sold the 6,242,802 common shares it retained upon the spinoff of LSC for net proceeds of $121.4 million. The proceeds of this sale were used to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under the Company’s credit facility. In June 2017, the Company exchanged 6,143,208 of the 6,242,802 shares of Donnelley Financial retained upon the spinoff for $111.6 million of aggregate principal of certain outstanding senior notes. In August 2017, the Company disposed of its remaining retained shares in Donnelley Financial via a second debt-for-equity exchange, pursuant to which the Company exchanged 99,594 shares of Donnelley Financial’s common stock for $1.9 million of aggregate principal of certain outstanding senior notes. Such debt obligations were cancelled and discharged upon delivery to the Company. As of September 30, 2017, the Company no longer held any shares of LSC or Donnelley Financial common stock.

The Company’s debt maturities as of September 30, 2017 are shown in the following table:

	Debt Maturity Schedule

(a) Excludes unamortized debt issuance costs of $12.2 million and a discount of $1.4 million which do not represent contractual commitments with a fixed amount or maturity date.

On June 7, 2017, the Company repurchased $41.7 million of the 6.625% debentures due April 15, 2029, $59.4 million of the 6.50% senior notes due November 15, 2023 and $101.7 million of the 6.00% senior notes due April 1, 2024 using borrowings under the prior credit agreement. The repurchases resulted in a net gain of $0.8 million which was recognized within loss on debt extinguishments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 related to the difference between the fair value of the debt repurchased and the principal outstanding, partially offset by premiums paid, unamortized debt issuance costs and other expenses.

On May 22, 2017, certain third party financial institutions (such financial institutions collectively, the “Third Party Purchasers”), launched cash tender offers for certain of the Company’s outstanding debt securities, including the Company’s 7.625% senior notes due June 15, 2020 and 7.875% senior notes due March 15, 2021. On June 7, 2017, the Third Party Purchasers purchased $111.6 million in aggregate principal amount of the 7.625% senior notes due June 15, 2020 (the “Third Party Purchase Notes”). On June 21, 2017, the Company exchanged 6,143,208 of its retained shares of Donnelley Financial for the Third Party Purchase Notes. The Company cancelled the Third Party Purchase Notes on June 21, 2017. As a result, the Company recognized a $14.4 million loss on debt extinguishment in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 related to premiums paid, unamortized debt issuance costs and other expenses. In addition, the Company recognized a net realized gain of $92.4 million resulting from the disposition of the retained shares of Donnelley Financial common stock within investment and other income-net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

As described above, on August 4, 2017, the Company disposed of its remaining 99,594 shares of Donnelley Financial common stock in exchange for the extinguishment of $1.9 million in aggregate principal of the Company’s 7.875% senior notes due March 15, 2021. As a result, the Company recognized a $0.3 million loss on debt extinguishments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, related to premiums paid, unamortized debt issuance costs and other expenses. In addition, the Company recognized a net realized gain of $1.6 million resulting from the disposition of these retained shares of Donnelley Financial common stock within investment and other income-net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

On September 29, 2017, the Company entered into an asset-based revolving credit facility pursuant to the second amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) which amended and restated the Company’s $800.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility dated September 30, 2016. The Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility of up to $800.0 million subject to a borrowing base. The amount available to be borrowed under the Credit Agreement is equal to the lesser of (a) $800.0 million and (b) the aggregate amount of accounts receivable, inventory, machinery and equipment and fee-owned real estate of the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”) (collectively, the “Borrowing Base”), subject to certain eligibility criteria and advance rates. The aggregate amount of real estate, machinery and equipment that can be included in the Borrowing Base cannot exceed $200.0 million. As a result of entering into the Credit Agreement, the Company recognized a $6.2 million loss related to unamortized debt issuance costs and other expenses within loss on debt extinguishments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate dependent on the average quarterly availability under the Credit Agreement and will be calculated according to a base rate or a Eurocurrency rate plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for base rate loans ranges from 0.25% to 0.50% and the applicable margin for Eurocurrency loans ranges from 1.25% to 1.50%. In addition, an unused line fee is payable quarterly on the unused portion of the amount available to be borrowed under the Credit Agreement. The unused line fee accrues at a rate of either 0.250% or 0.375% depending upon the average usage of the facility.

Proceeds of the loans under the Credit Agreement may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by its material and certain domestic subsidiaries and are secured by a security interest in certain assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries, including accounts receivable, inventory, deposit accounts, securities accounts, investment property, machinery and equipment and, to the extent related to the foregoing, general intangibles, documents and instruments, as well as 65% of the equity interests of its first-tier foreign subsidiaries.

The Credit Agreement is subject to customary restrictive covenants, including a covenant which requires the Company to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio under certain circumstances. In addition, the Company’s ability to undertake certain actions, including, among other things, prepay certain junior debt, incur additional unsecured indebtedness and make certain restricted payments depends on satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among other things, meeting minimum availability thresholds under the Credit Agreement.

There were $350.0 million of borrowings under the Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2017. Based on the Company’s borrowing base as of September 30, 2017 and existing borrowings, the Company had the ability to utilize approximately $384.9 million of the $800.0 million Credit Agreement.

48

The current availability under the Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2017 is shown in the table below:

	September 30, 2017
Availability	(in millions)
Committed Credit Agreement	$	800.0
Availability reduction due to available borrowing base		35.4
	$	764.6
Usage
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement		350.0
Outstanding letters of credit		29.7
		379.7
Current availability at September 30, 2017	$	384.9

As of September 30, 2017, the Company was in compliance with the debt covenants under the Credit Agreement and expects to remain in compliance based on management’s estimates of operating and financial results for 2017 and the foreseeable future. However, declines in market and economic conditions or demand for certain of the Company’s products and services could impact the Company’s ability to remain in compliance with its debt covenants in future periods. As of September 30, 2017, the Company met all the conditions required to borrow under the Credit Agreement and management expects the Company to continue to meet the borrowing conditions.

The failure of a financial institution supporting the Credit Agreement would reduce the size of the Company’s committed facility unless a replacement institution was added. Currently, the Credit Agreement is supported by eight U.S. financial institutions.

As of September 30, 2017, the Company had $176.7 million in other uncommitted credit facilities, primarily outside the U.S. (the “Other Facilities”). There were $103.3 million in outstanding letters of credit, bank guarantees and bank acceptance drafts which reduced availability, of which $29.7 million were issued under the Credit Agreement. Total borrowings under the Credit Agreement and the Other Facilities (the “Combined Facilities”) were $367.6 million as of September 30, 2017.

The Company’s liquidity may be affected by its credit ratings. The Company’s Standard & Poor Rating Services (“S&P”) and Moody’s credit ratings as of September 30, 2017 are shown in the table below:

	S&P	Moody's
Long-term corporate credit rating	B+, Stable	B1, Stable
Senior unsecured debt	B+	B2
Credit Agreement	BB	Ba1

Dividends

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company paid cash dividends of $29.4 million. On October 25, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.14 per common share payable on December 1, 2017 to RRD stockholders of record on November 15, 2017.

Acquisitions and Dispositions

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company paid $47.5 million, net of cash acquired, to acquire Precision Dialogue. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company sold immaterial entities within the International segment for net proceeds of $13.7 million.

Debt Issuances

On September 30, 2016, the Company’s then wholly-owned subsidiary Donnelley Financial issued senior notes and incurred a senior secured term loan B facility with total aggregate principals of $300.0 million and $350.0 million, respectively.  Additionally on September 30, 2016, the Company’s then wholly-owned subsidiary LSC issued senior notes and incurred a senior secured term loan B facility with total aggregate principal of $450.0 million and $375.0 million, respectively.  All of the related net proceeds were distributed to the Company or exchanged for debt in connection with the Separation. After the Separation, RR Donnelley has no obligations as it relates to these senior notes, senior secured term loan B facilities or any other LSC or Donnelley Financial indebtedness.

49

MANAGEMENT OF MARKET RISK

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its variable debt and price risk on its fixed-rate debt. At September 30, 2017, the Company’s variable-interest borrowings were $367.6 million. Approximately 83.8% of the Company’s outstanding debt was comprised of fixed-rate debt as of September 30, 2017.

The Company assesses market risk based on changes in interest rates utilizing a sensitivity analysis that measures the potential loss in earnings, fair values and cash flows based on a hypothetical 10% change in interest rates. Using this sensitivity analysis, such changes would not have a material effect on interest income or expense and cash flows and would change the fair values of fixed-rate debt at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 by approximately $50.2 million and $69.6 million, respectively.

The Company is exposed to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations in certain countries in which it operates. The exposure to foreign currency movements is limited in many countries because the operating revenues and expenses of its various subsidiaries and business units are substantially in the local currency of the country in which they operate. To the extent that borrowings, sales, purchases, revenues, expenses or other transactions are not in the local currency of the subsidiary, the Company is exposed to currency risk and may enter into foreign currency contracts to hedge the currency risk. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the aggregate notional amount of outstanding foreign currency contracts was approximately $136.7 million and $172.2 million, respectively (see Note 17, Derivatives, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). Net unrealized gains from these foreign currency contracts were $0.5 million at September 30, 2017 and $0.2 million at December 31, 2016. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT

The Company has made forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are subject to risks and uncertainties. These statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of the Company. Generally, forward-looking statements include information concerning possible or assumed future actions, events, or results of operations of the Company.

These statements may include, or be preceded or followed by, the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “might,” “could,” “would,” “potential,” “possible,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “hope” or similar expressions. The Company claims the protection of the Safe Harbor for Forward-Looking Statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for all forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. The following important factors, in addition to those discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, could affect the future results of the Company and could cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements:

• adverse changes in global economic conditions and the resulting effect on the businesses of our customers;

• political and regulatory risks and uncertainty in the countries in which we operate or sell our products and services;

• loss of brand reputation and decreases in quality of customer support and service offerings;

• changes in consumer preferences or a failure to otherwise manage relationships with our significant customers;

• adverse credit market conditions and other issues that may affect the Company’s ability to obtain future financing on favorable terms;

• the Company’s ability to make payments on, reduce or extinguish any of its material indebtedness;

50

• changes in the availability or costs of key materials (such as ink, paper and fuel), increases in shipping costs or changes in prices received for the sale of by-products;

• the ability of the Company to improve operating efficiency rapidly enough to meet market conditions;

• successful negotiation, execution and integration of acquisitions;

• increased pricing pressure as a result of the competitive environment in which the Company operates;

• increasing health care and benefits costs for employees and retirees;

• changes in the Company’s pension and other postretirement obligations;

• catastrophic events which may damage the Company’s facilities or otherwise disrupt the business;

• adverse trends or events in our operations outside of the United States;

• the effect of inflation, changes in currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates;

• the effect of changes in laws and regulations, including changes in accounting standards, trade, tax, environmental compliance (including the emission of greenhouse gases and other air pollution controls), health and welfare benefits (including the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as modified by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, and further healthcare reform initiatives), price controls and other regulatory matters and the cost, which could be substantial, of complying with these laws and regulations;

• changes in the regulations applicable to the Company’s customers, which may adversely impact demand for the Company’s products and services;

• factors that affect customer demand, including changes in postal rates, postal regulations and service levels, changes in the capital markets, changes in advertising markets, customers’ budgetary constraints and changes in customers’ short-range and long-range plans;

• failures or errors in the Company’s products and services;

• the ability by the Company and/or its vendors to implement and maintain information technology and security measures sufficient to protect against breaches and data leakage or the failure to properly use and protect customer, Company and employee information and data;

• changes in technology, including electronic substitution and migration of paper based documents to digital data formats, and the ability of the Company to adapt to these changes;

• the spinoff transactions achieving the intended results;

• the volatility of the price of the Company’s common stock following completion of the spinoff;

• not realizing the benefits from the retained ownership interests in LSC and Donnelley Financial;

• increased costs resulting from a decrease in purchase power as a result of the spinoffs;

• inability to hire and retain employees;

• the spinoffs resulting in significant tax liability; and

• other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC.

Because forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Undue reliance should not be placed on such statements, which speak only as of the date of this document or the date of any document that may be incorporated by reference into this document.

Consequently, readers of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should consider these forward-looking statements only as the Company’s current plans, estimates and beliefs. The Company does not undertake and specifically declines any obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect future events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect any new events or any change in conditions or circumstances.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “RRD”) and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2017. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include estimates and assumptions of management that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Spinoff Transactions

On October 1, 2016, the Company completed the separation of its financial communications and data services business (“Donnelley Financial Solutions, Inc.” or “Donnelley Financial”) and the publishing and retail-centric print services and office products business (“LSC Communications, Inc.” or “LSC”) into two separate publicly-traded companies (the "Separation"). The Company completed the tax-free distribution of 80.75% of the outstanding common stock of each Donnelley Financial and LSC to the Company’s stockholders of record on September 23, 2016 who received one share of each Donnelley Financial and LSC for every eight shares of RRD common stock owned as of the record date (the “Distribution”). The Company retained 19.25% of the outstanding common stock of each Donnelley Financial and LSC. The historical financial results of Donnelley Financial and LSC prior to the Separation, are presented as discontinued operations on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and, as such, have been excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented. Sales from RRD to Donnelley Financial and LSC previously eliminated in consolidation have been recast and are now shown as external sales within the financial results of continuing operations. These net sales were $72.5 million and $150.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. Unless indicated otherwise, the information in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements relates to the Company's continuing operations. Prior periods have been recast to reflect the Company's current segment reporting structure. See Note 2, Discontinued Operations, for more information on the Separation.

Reverse Stock Split

Immediately following the Distribution on October 1, 2016, the Company affected a one-for-three reverse stock split for RRD common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on September 14, 2016 and previously approved by the Company’s stockholders at the annual meeting on May 19, 2016. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the number of issued and outstanding and treasury shares of the Company’s common stock was reduced proportionally based on the Reverse Stock Split ratio of one share for every three shares of common stock held before the Reverse Stock Split.  

Revision of Net Sales and Cost of Sales

During the third quarter of 2017, the Company identified an error in the accounting for certain contracts with an inventory buy-back option within the Asia reporting unit, which is in the International segment. As a result, the error, which was determined by management to be immaterial to the previously issued financial statements, has been corrected herein from the amounts previously reported. There was no impact to net earnings (loss) or net earnings (loss) per share, or the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income or Stockholders’ Equity. The following table presents the impact of the revision on net sales and cost of sales:

Receivables, less allowance for doubtful accounts	$	1,354.4	$	(23.1	)	$	1,331.3

The September 30, 2016 Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows has also been revised to reflect the impact of the above balance sheet revision.

Discontinued Operations

2. Discontinued Operations

Immediately following the Distribution, the Company held approximately 6.2 million shares of Donnelley Financial common stock and approximately 6.2 million shares of LSC common stock. The Company accounted for these investments as available-for-sale equity securities. In March 2017, the Company sold the 6.2 million shares of LSC common stock it retained upon spinoff for net proceeds of $121.4 million, resulting in a realized loss of $51.6 million, which was recorded within investment and other income-net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. In June 2017, the Company completed a non-cash debt-for-equity exchange in which RRD exchanged 6,143,208 of its retained shares of Donnelley Financial common stock for the extinguishment of $111.6 million in aggregate principal amount of RRD indebtedness. In August 2017, the Company disposed of its remaining 99,594 shares of Donnelley Financial common stock in exchange for the extinguishment of $1.9 million in aggregate principal amount of RRD indebtedness.  See Note 15, Debt, for additional details of these debt-for-equity transactions. As of September 30, 2017, the Company no longer held any shares of LSC or Donnelley Financial.

In connection with the Separation, the Company entered into transition services agreements with Donnelley Financial and LSC under which the companies will provide one another with certain services to help ensure an orderly transition following the Separation (the “Transition Services Agreements”). The charges for these services are intended to allow the companies, as applicable, to recover the direct and indirect costs incurred in providing such services. The Transition Services Agreements generally provide for a term of services starting at the Separation date and continuing for a period of up to twenty-four months following the Separation. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized $1.4 million and $6.4 million, respectively, as a reduction of costs within selling, general and administrative expenses within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations from the Transition Services Agreement.

The Company also entered into various commercial agreements which govern sales transactions between the companies. Under these commercial agreements, the Company recognized the following transactions with LSC and Donnelley Financial during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017:

Restructuring and Impairment Charges

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded net restructuring charges of $10.7 million and $19.5 million, respectively, for employee termination costs. These charges primarily relate to the reorganization of selling, general and administrative functions primarily within the Corporate, International and Variable Print segments, the termination of the Company’s relationship in a joint venture within the International segment and a facility closure in the Strategic Services segment. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded net impairment charges of $21.5 million and $21.7 million, respectively, primarily related to the $21.3 million impairment of the goodwill for the digital and creative solutions (“DCS”) reporting unit, which is included within the Strategic Services segment. The goodwill impairment charge in the DCS reporting unit was due to the notification from a major customer that they will be transitioning their business away from DCS beginning in the fourth quarter of 2017 as well as declines in sales with other existing customers which resulted in lower expectations of future revenues, profitability and cash flows compared to expectations as of the October 31, 2016 annual goodwill impairment test. As of September 30, 2017, the DCS reporting unit had no remaining goodwill. The goodwill impairment charges were determined using Level 3 inputs, including comparable marketplace fair value data and a discounted cash flow analysis. The remaining impairment charges recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, were primarily due to the impairment of equipment associated with the facility closure in the Strategic Services segment. Additionally, the Company incurred lease termination and other restructuring charges of $1.1 million and $3.8 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded net restructuring charges of $9.7 million and $20.7 million, respectively, for employee termination costs. These charges primarily related to two facility closures in the International segment and the reorganization of certain administrative functions and operations. Additionally, the Company incurred lease termination and other restructuring charges of $0.6 million and $2.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recognized $0.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively, of net gains on the sale of previously impaired assets, partially offset by impairment charges related to buildings and machinery and equipment associated with facility closures.

Other Charges

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded other charges of $0.5 million and $1.7 million and $0.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively, 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 multi-employer pension plans included in accrued liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities are $5.1 million and $32.4 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2017. 

The Company’s multi-employer pension plan 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.

Restructuring Reserve

The restructuring reserve as of December 31, 2016 and September 30, 2017, and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, were as follows:

					Foreign
	December 31,		Restructuring		Exchange and			Cash			September 30,
	2016		Charges		Other			Paid			2017
Employee terminations	$	7.6	$	19.5	$	—		$	(13.5	)	$	13.6
Multi-employer pension withdrawal obligations		11.8		0.6		(0.1	)		(1.1	)		11.2
Lease terminations and other		1.6		3.2		1.2			(2.8	)		3.2
Total	$	21.0	$	23.3	$	1.1		$	(17.4	)	$	28.0

The current portion of restructuring reserves of $14.4 million at September 30, 2017 was included in accrued liabilities, while the long-term portion of $13.6 million, primarily related to multi-employer pension plan withdrawal obligations related to facility closures, was included in other noncurrent liabilities at September 30, 2017.

The Company anticipates that payments associated with the employee terminations reflected in the above table will be substantially completed by September 2018.

Payments on all of the Company’s multi-employer pension plan withdrawal obligations are scheduled to be completed by 2036. Changes based on uncertainties in these estimated withdrawal obligations could affect the ultimate charges related to multi-employer pension plan withdrawals.

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 2020. 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 Company expects to make cash contributions of approximately $17.0 million to its pension and other postretirement benefit plans in 2017. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company contributed $12.4 million to its benefit plans.

In the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company communicated to certain former employees the option to receive a lump-sum pension payment or annuity with payments computed in accordance with statutory requirements, beginning in the second quarter of 2016.  Payments to eligible participants who elected to receive a lump-sum pension payment or annuity were funded from existing pension plan assets and liabilities were remeasured as of the payout date. The discount rates and actuarial assumptions used to calculate the payouts were determined in accordance with federal regulations. The company recorded total non-cash settlement charges of $1.6 million and $98.0 million, of which $0.3 million and $20.7 million is included within selling, general and administrative expenses and $1.3 million and $77.3 million is included within income from discontinued operations, net of tax in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operationsfor the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. These charges resulted from the recognition in earnings of a portion of the actuarial losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss based on the proportion of the obligation settled.  

During the third quarter of 2016, the Company announced the discontinuation of retiree medical, prescription drug and life insurance benefits for individuals retiring on or after October 1, 2016.  This change was accounted for as a significant plan amendment and the other postemployment benefit plan obligations were remeasured as of September 30, 2016.  This remeasurement resulted in a curtailment gain of $16.4 million within cost of sales and $3.3 million in selling, general and administrative expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Earnings per Share

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings per Share

11. Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to RRD common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. In computing diluted earnings per share, basic earnings per share is adjusted for the assumed issuance of all potentially dilutive share-based awards, including stock options, restricted stock units and performance share units. Performance share units are considered anti-dilutive and excluded if the performance targets, upon which the issuance of the shares is contingent, have not been achieved and the respective performance period has not been completed as of the end of the current period. Additionally, stock options are considered anti-dilutive when the exercise price exceeds the average of the Company’s stock price during the applicable period. In periods when the Company is in a net loss from continuing operations, share-based awards are excluded from the calculation of earnings per share as their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, no shares of common stock were purchased by the Company; however, shares were withheld for tax liabilities upon the vesting of equity awards.

The reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted earnings per share calculation and the anti-dilutive share-based awards for three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was as follows:

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

Commitments and Contingencies

14. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is subject to laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. The Company provides for expenses associated with environmental remediation obligations when such amounts are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Such accruals are adjusted as new information develops or circumstances change and are generally not discounted. The Company has been designated as a potentially responsible party or has received claims in three active federal and state Superfund and other multiparty remediation sites. In addition to these sites, the Company may also have the obligation to remediate seven other previously and currently owned facilities. At the Superfund sites, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act provides that the Company’s liability could be joint and several, meaning that the Company could be required to pay an amount in excess of its proportionate share of the remediation costs.    

The Company’s understanding of the financial strength of other potentially responsible parties at the multiparty sites and of other liable parties at the previously owned facilities has been considered, where appropriate, in the determination of the Company’s estimated liability. The Company established reserves, recorded in accrued liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities, that it believes are adequate to cover its share of the potential costs of remediation at each of the multiparty sites and the previously and currently owned facilities. It is not possible to quantify with certainty the potential impact of actions regarding environmental matters, particularly remediation and other compliance efforts that the Company may undertake in the future. However, in the opinion of management, compliance with the present environmental protection laws, before taking into account estimated recoveries from third parties, will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

From time to time, the Company’s customers and others file voluntary petitions for reorganization under United States bankruptcy laws. In such cases, certain pre-petition payments received by the Company from these parties could be considered preference items and subject to return. In addition, the Company may be party to certain litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that the final resolution of these preference items and litigation will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

The Company’s debt at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 consisted of the following:  

	September 30,			December 31,
	2017			2016

Long-term debt	$	2,232.2		$	2,379.2

(a) As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the interest rate on the 11.25% senior notes due February 1, 2019 was 13.25%, the maximum rate on these notes, as a result of ratings downgrades.

(b) Includes miscellaneous debt obligations and capital leases.

The fair values of the senior notes and debentures, which were determined using the market approach based upon interest rates available to the Company for borrowings with similar terms and maturities, were determined to be Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Company’s debt was greater than its book value by approximately $38.9 million and $4.3 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

On September 29, 2017, the Company entered into an asset-based revolving credit facility pursuant to the second amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) which amended and restated the Company’s $800.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility dated September 30, 2016. The Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility of up to $800.0 million subject to a borrowing base. The amount available to be borrowed under the Credit Agreement is equal to the lesser of (a) $800.0 million and (b) the aggregate amount of accounts receivable, inventory, machinery and equipment and fee-owned real estate of the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”) (collectively, the “Borrowing Base”), subject to certain eligibility criteria and advance rates. The aggregate amount of real estate, machinery and equipment that can be included in the Borrowing Base cannot exceed $200.0 million. As a result of the amendment, the Company recognized a $6.2 million loss related to unamortized debt issuance costs and other expenses within loss on debt extinguishments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. Additionally, the Company had approximately $0.6 million of accrued financing fees as of September 30, 2017 related to this transaction.

The Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature on September 29, 2022, at which time all outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement will be due and payable. The proceeds of the loans under the Credit Agreement may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Any borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate dependent on the average quarterly availability under the Credit Agreement and will be calculated according to a base rate or a Eurocurrency rate plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for base rate loans ranges from 0.25% to 0.50% and the applicable margin for Eurocurrency loans ranges from 1.25% to 1.50%. In addition, an unused line fee is payable quarterly on the unused portion of the amount available to be borrowed under the Credit Agreement. The unused line fee accrues at a rate of either 0.250% or 0.375% depending upon the average usage of the facility.

The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Guarantors and are secured by a security interest in certain assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries, including accounts receivable, inventory, deposit accounts, securities accounts, investment property, machinery and equipment and, to the extent related to the foregoing, general intangibles, documents, instruments and chattel paper, as well as 65% of the equity interests of their first-tier foreign subsidiaries.

The Credit Agreement contains customary restrictive covenants, including a covenant which requires the Company to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio under certain circumstances. In addition, the Company’s ability to undertake certain actions, including, among other things, prepay certain junior debt, incur additional unsecured indebtedness and make certain restricted payments depends on satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among other things, meeting minimum availability thresholds under the Credit Agreement.

The weighted average interest rate on borrowings under the credit facilities was 3.7% and 2.2% during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

On June 7, 2017, the Company repurchased $41.7 million of the 6.625% debentures due April 15, 2029, $59.4 million of the 6.50% senior notes due November 15, 2023 and $101.7 million of the 6.00% senior notes due April 1, 2024 using borrowings under the prior credit agreement. The repurchases resulted in a net gain of $0.8 million which was recognized within loss on debt extinguishments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 related to the difference between the fair value of the debt repurchased and the principal outstanding, partially offset by the premiums paid, unamortized debt issuance costs and other expenses.

On May 22, 2017, certain third party financial institutions (such financial institutions collectively, the “Third Party Purchasers”), launched cash tender offers for certain of the Company’s outstanding debt securities, including the Company’s 7.625% senior notes due June 15, 2020 and 7.875% senior notes due March 15, 2021. On June 7, 2017, the Third Party Purchasers purchased $111.6 million in aggregate principal amount of the 7.625% senior notes due June 15, 2020 (the “Third Party Purchase Notes”). On June 21, 2017, the Company exchanged 6,143,208 of its retained shares of Donnelley Financial for the Third Party Purchase Notes. The Company cancelled the Third Party Purchase Notes on June 21, 2017. As a result, the Company recognized a $14.4 million loss on debt extinguishment in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 related to premiums paid, unamortized debt issuance costs and other expenses. In addition, the Company recognized a net realized gain of $92.4 million resulting from the disposition of these retained shares of Donnelley Financial common stock within investment and other income-net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

On August 4, 2017, the Company disposed of its remaining 99,594 shares of Donnelley Financial common stock in exchange for $1.9 million in aggregate principal of the Company’s 7.875% senior notes due March 15, 2021 which were cancelled. As a result, the Company recognized a $0.3 million loss on debt extinguishments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, related to premiums paid, unamortized debt issuance costs and other expenses. In addition, the Company recognized a net realized gain of $1.6 million resulting from the disposition of these retained shares of Donnelley Financial common stock within investment and other income-net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Interest income was $0.8 million and $2.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and $1.9 million and $3.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

Income Taxes

16. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate was 31.0% and 38.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively and (63.2%) and 80.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 reflects the impact of the disposition of the Donnelley Financial and LSC retained shares. The retained shares of Donnelley Financial were disposed in non-taxable debt-for-equity exchanges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. See Note 15, Debt, for additional details regarding the dispositions of the Donnelley Financial retained shares of common stock. The sale of LSC shares generated a capital loss which will be carried forward; however, it is more likely than not that the benefit of such deferred tax asset will not be realized and a valuation allowance was recorded. See Note 2, Discontinued Operations, for additional information regarding the sale of the LSC retained shares. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2017 reflects the impact of the impairment of goodwill in the DCS reporting unit and the inability to recognize a tax benefit on certain losses. The effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 reflects the impact of income generated in higher taxing jurisdictions and the inability to recognize a tax benefit on certain losses.

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivatives

17. Derivatives

All derivatives are recorded as other current or noncurrent assets or other current or noncurrent liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at their respective fair values. Unrealized gains and losses related to derivatives are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable income taxes, or in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, depending on the purpose for which the derivative is held. For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the unrealized gain or loss related to the derivatives are generally recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) until the transaction affects earnings. For derivatives designated and that qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative, as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not meet the criteria for designation as a hedge at inception, or fail to meet the criteria thereafter, are recognized currently in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. At the inception of a hedge transaction, the Company formally documents the hedge relationship and the risk management objective for undertaking the hedge. In addition, the Company assesses both at inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivative in the hedging transaction has been highly effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedged item and whether the derivative is expected to continue to be highly effective. The impact of any ineffectiveness is also recognized currently in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company is exposed to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations in certain countries in which it operates. The exposure to foreign currency movements is limited in many countries because the operating revenues and expenses of its various subsidiaries and business units are substantially in the local currency of the country in which they operate. To the extent borrowings, sales, purchases, revenues, expenses or other transactions are not in the local currency of the subsidiary or operating unit, the Company is exposed to currency risk. Periodically, the Company uses foreign exchange spot, forward and swap contracts to hedge exposures resulting from foreign exchange fluctuations. Accordingly, the gains and losses associated with the fair values of foreign currency exchange contracts are recognized currently in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and are generally offset by gains and losses on underlying payables, receivables, borrowings and net investments in foreign subsidiaries. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The aggregate notional value of the foreign currency contracts at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $136.7 million and $172.2 million, respectively. The fair values of foreign currency contracts were determined to be Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy and are valued using market exchange rates.

On March 13, 2012, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate risk exposure, effectively changing the interest rate on $400.0 million of its fixed-rate senior notes to a floating-rate based on LIBOR plus a basis point spread. The interest rate swaps, with a notional value of $400.0 million at inception, were designated as fair value hedges against changes in the value of the Company’s $450.0 million 8.25% senior notes due March 15, 2019, which were attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate.  During 2014, the Company repurchased $211.1 million of the 8.25% senior notes due March 15, 2019, and related interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $210.0 million were terminated, resulting in payments of $4.2 million for the fair value of the interest rate swaps.  During the three months ended September 30, 2016, in connection with the tender of the Company’s 8.25% senior notes due March 15, 2019, the Company terminated the remaining $190.0 million notional value of the interest rate swap agreements which resulted in cash received of $2.5 million for the fair value of the interest rate swaps.  

The fair values of interest rate swaps were determined to be Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy and were developed using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on the expectation of future interest rates derived from observed market interest rate curves. In addition, credit valuation adjustments, which consider the impact of any credit enhancements to the contracts, are incorporated in the fair values to account for potential nonperformance risk. On at least a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates the credit value adjustments of the interest rate swap agreements, which take into account the possibility of counterparty and the Company’s own default.

The Company’s foreign currency contracts and interest rate swaps are subject to enforceable master netting agreements that allow the Company to settle positive and negative positions with the respective counterparties. The Company settles foreign currency contracts on a net basis when possible. Foreign currency contracts that can be settled on a net basis are presented net in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Interest rate swaps were settled on a gross basis and presented gross in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company manages credit risk for its derivative positions on a counterparty-by-counterparty basis, considering the net portfolio exposure with each counterparty, consistent with its risk management strategy for such transactions. The Company’s agreements with each of its counterparties contain a provision where the Company could be declared in default on its derivative obligations if it either defaults or, in certain cases, is capable of being declared in default of any of its indebtedness greater than specified thresholds. These agreements also contain a provision whereby the Company could be declared in default subsequent to a merger or restructuring type event if the creditworthiness of the resulting entity is materially weakened.

At September 30, 2017and December 31, 2016, the total fair value of the Company’s foreign currency contracts, which were the only derivatives not designated as hedges along with the accounts in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in which the fair value amounts were included, was as follows:

	September 30, 2017		December 31, 2016
Derivatives not designated as hedges
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	$	1.5	$	1.7
Accrued liabilities		1.0		1.5

The pre-tax losses related to derivatives not designated as hedges recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were as follows:

		Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended

For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, the pre-tax (gains) losses related to the hedged items attributable to changes in the hedged benchmark interest rate and the offsetting (gain) loss on the related interest rate swaps for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were as follows:

The Company also recognized a net reduction to interest expense of $0.2 million and $1.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, related to the Company’s fair value hedges, which included interest accruals on the derivatives and amortization of the basis in the hedged items.

Accounting Changes And Error Corrections [Abstract]

New Accounting Pronouncements

19. New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-07 “Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost,” which changes the presentation of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit cost (net benefit cost) within the Statement of Operations. Under the current guidance, net benefit cost is reported as an employee cost within operating income. The amendment requires the bifurcation of net benefit cost, with the service cost component to be presented with other employee compensation costs in operating income while the other components will be reported separately outside of income from operations. ASU No. 2017-07 will be effective in the first quarter of 2018 and is required to be retrospectively adopted. Had this guidance been adopted as of January 1, 2017, income from operations within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 would have been lower by $4.2 million and $12.5 million, respectively, and other non-operating income would have increased $4.2 million and $12.5 million, respectively.  

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04 “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” which eliminates Step 2 from the current goodwill impairment test, including determining the implied fair value of goodwill and comparing it with the carrying amount of that goodwill. The standard requires entities to record impairment charges based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. ASU No. 2017-04 will be effective in the first quarter of 2020; however early adoption is permitted for interim and annual goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2017-04 may impact the results of future goodwill impairment tests and therefore could impact the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. The Company has elected to early adopt this guidance and will apply this guidance to all impairment analyses performed after January 1, 2017.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18 “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash.” This update requires that restricted cash and cash equivalents be included as components of total cash and cash equivalents as presented on the statement of cash flows. ASU No. 2016-18 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017 and a retrospective transition method is required. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company currently presents changes in restricted cash and cash equivalents in the investing section of its Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The new guidance will not impact financial results, but will result in a change in the presentation of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15 “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” This update addresses whether to present certain specific cash flow items as operating, investing or financing activities. The amendments in this update are effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017 and are required to be retroactively adopted. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU No. 2016-15 on its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09 “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” Under the new guidance, when awards vest or are settled, the excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies are recorded as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement instead of within additional paid-in capital. This guidance will be applied prospectively. Furthermore, the guidance requires excess tax benefits to be presented as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows rather than as a financing activity, which can be applied retrospectively or prospectively. Under the new guidance, an election can be made regarding whether to account for forfeitures of share-based payments by recognizing forfeitures of awards as they occur or estimate the number of awards expected to be forfeited, as is currently required. This guidance is to be applied using a modified retrospective transition method, with a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings. The Company has adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2017. The adoption had an immaterial impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated financial statements.  

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)” which requires lessees to put most leases on the balance sheet but recognize expense on the income statement in a manner similar to current accounting. For lessors, ASU 2016-02 also modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. The standard requires a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements and is effective in the first quarter of 2019. Early adoption of ASU 2016-02 is permitted; however the Company plans to adopt the standard in the first quarter of 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue using a five-step process that supersedes virtually all existing revenue guidance. ASU 2014-09 also requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures. During 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net),” ASU 2016-10 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing,” and ASU 2016-12 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients,” which clarify the revenue recognition implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations, identifying performance obligations, determining whether an entity's promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use or a right to access the entity's intellectual property, assessing the collectability criteria, presentation of sales and similar taxes, noncash consideration and various other items. The amendments in these ASUs affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09, and the effective date and transition requirements are the same as those for ASU 2014-09 which, as amended by ASU 2015-14 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date,” will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The standard allows the option of either a full retrospective adoption, meaning the standard is applied to all periods presented, or a modified retrospective adoption, meaning the standard is applied only to the most current period.

Based upon preliminary results of management’s evaluation, the most impactful aspects of the guidance relate to the timing of recognition for the revenue from customized products over time versus at a point in time, as well as inventory billed but not yet shipped. The Company has amounts of customized products in the Variable Print and International segments which are currently recognized when the products are completed and shipped to the customer. Currently, the Company defers revenue for inventory billed but not yet shipped which under the new revenue standard, the Company may be able to recognize revenue for certain inventory billed but not yet shipped. The actual revenue recognition treatment required under this new standard will be dependent on contract specific terms. The Company is still in the process of evaluating and designing the necessary changes to its business processes, systems and controls to support recognition and disclosure under the new standard.The Company will adopt the standard in the first quarter of 2018 and currently anticipates applying the modified retrospective approach.
