1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company and its subsidiaries (“RRD,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) 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 our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the SEC on February 26, 2020. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020. 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.

Due to the relationship of our various jurisdictional projections of full-year pre-tax earnings and income tax expense, as well as the projected impact of permanent tax differences and other items, our historic approach of using an estimated full-year world-wide effective income tax rate to determine interim period tax expense produced an income tax provision for the current year-to-date period that was not meaningful because tax expense calculated under the historical approach was not reflective of what taxes would be due and payable based on six-month year to date pre-tax earnings. Accordingly, we calculated year-to-date fiscal 2020 tax expense based on domestic year-to-date earnings before tax to determine an estimate of the actual U.S. tax liability while using an estimated full-year international effective income tax rate on our international year-to-date earnings to determine interim period tax expense for our international jurisdictions. The second quarter tax expense is the fiscal year-to-date tax expense computed as of June 30, 2020 less tax expense recognized in the first quarter.

Cash payments for income taxes were $14.0 million and $49.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Cash refunds for income taxes were $2.6 million and $6.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Income taxes receivable of $9.2 million and $12.0 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, are included within Prepaid expenses and other current assets.

Allowance for Credit Losses

We recognize an allowance for credit losses for financial assets carried at amortized cost to present the net amount expected to be collected as of the balance sheet date. Such allowance is based on credit losses expected to arise over the life of the asset’s contractual term, which includes consideration of prepayments. Assets are written off when we determine that such financial assets are deemed uncollectible and are recognized as a deduction from the allowance for credit losses. Expected recoveries of amounts previously written off, not to exceed the aggregate of the amount previously written off, are included in determining the necessary reserve at the balance sheet date. We pool financial assets based on similar risk characteristics to estimate expected credit losses. We estimate expected credit losses on financial assets individually when those assets do not share similar risk characteristics. We closely monitor our accounts receivable including timely account reconciliations, detailed reviews of past due accounts, updated credit limits, and monthly analysis of the adequacy of our reserve for credit losses.

We utilize a loss rate approach to determine lifetime expected credit losses for our financial assets. This method is used for calculating an estimate of losses based primarily on our historical loss experience. In determining loss rates, we evaluate information related to historical losses, adjusted for current conditions and further adjusted for the period of time that we can reasonably forecast. We have concluded that we can reasonably support a forecast period for the contractual life of our financial assets. Qualitative and quantitative adjustments related to current conditions and the reasonable and supportable forecast period consider the following: the customer or vendor’s creditworthiness, changes in our policy and procedures to establish customer credit limits, changes in the payment terms of receivables, existence and effect of any concentration of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations, and the effects of other external forces such as the current and forecasted direction of the economic and business environment. We have considered the current and expected economic and market conditions as a result of COVID-19 in determining credit loss expense for the period ended June 30, 2020.

The allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020, was as follows:
