Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Accounting, Policy

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DFIN and all majority-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates Use of Estimates—The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the extensive use of management’s estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for items and matters including, but not limited to, allowance for expected losses on accounts receivable, pension, goodwill and other intangible assets, asset valuations and useful lives, income taxes and other provisions and contingencies.
Foreign Operations

Foreign Operations—Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates existing at the respective balance sheet dates. Income and expense items are translated at the average rates during the respective periods. Translation adjustments resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates are recorded as a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) while transaction gains and losses are recorded in net earnings (loss). Deferred taxes are not provided on cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments when the Company expects foreign earnings to be indefinitely reinvested.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements—Certain assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The Company records the fair value of its pension plan assets on a recurring basis. See Note 7, Retirement Plans, for the fair value of the Company’s pension plan assets as of December 31, 2022.

In addition to assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company is required to record certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, generally as a result of acquisitions or the remeasurement of assets resulting in impairment charges. Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include long-lived assets held and used, long-lived assets held for sale, goodwill and other intangible assets. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their carrying values. The three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes valuation methodologies based on the reliability of the inputs, is as follows:

Level 1 Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition—The Company manages highly-customized data and materials to enable filings with the SEC on behalf of its customers related to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act"), as well as performs eXtensible Business Reporting Language (“XBRL”) and other services. Clients are provided with SEC Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (“EDGAR”) filing services, XBRL compliance services and translation, editing, interpreting, proof-reading and multilingual typesetting services, among other services. The Company provides software solutions to public and private companies, mutual funds and other regulated investment firms to serve their regulatory and compliance needs, including Venue® Virtual Data Room (“Venue”), the Arc Suite® software platform ("Arc Suite") and ActiveDisclosure®, among others, and provides digital document creation, online content management and print and distribution solutions.

The Company separately reports its net sales and related cost of sales for its software solutions, tech-enabled services and print and distribution offerings. The Company’s software solutions offerings include Venue, Arc Suite and ActiveDisclosure, among others. The Company’s tech-enabled services offerings consist of document composition, compliance-related EDGAR filing services and transaction solutions. The Company’s print and distribution offerings primarily consist of conventional and digital printed products and related shipping. Refer to Note 2, Revenue, for a discussion of the Company’s revenue recognition.

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised services or products to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those services or products. The Company’s services include software solutions and tech-enabled services whereas the Company’s products are comprised of print and distribution offerings. The Company’s arrangements with customers often include promises to transfer multiple services or products to a customer. Determining whether services and products are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately requires significant judgment. Certain customer arrangements have multiple performance obligations as certain promises are both capable of being distinct and are distinct within the context of the contract. Other customer arrangements have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts, and therefore is not distinct.

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers and these timing differences result in contract assets, unbilled receivables or contract liabilities. Contract assets represent revenue recognized for performance obligations completed before an unconditional right to payment exists and therefore invoicing has not yet occurred. The Company generally estimates contract assets based on the historical selling price adjusted for its current experience and expected resolution of the variable consideration of the completed performance obligation. When the Company's contracts contain variable consideration, the variable consideration is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur in a future period. As a result, the estimated revenue and contract assets may be constrained until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved, which generally occurs in less than one year.
Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents—The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Short-term securities consist of investment grade instruments of governments, financial institutions and corporations.
Receivables

Receivables—Receivables are stated net of expected losses and primarily include trade receivables as well as miscellaneous receivables from suppliers. The Company’s credit loss reserves primarily relate to trade receivables, unbilled receivables and contract assets. The Company established the provision at differing rates, which are region or country-specific, and are based upon the age of the trade receivable, the Company’s historical collection experience in each region or country and lines of business, where appropriate. Provisions for unbilled receivables and contract assets are established based on rates which management believes to be appropriate considering its historical experience. Specific customer provisions are made when a review of significant outstanding amounts, utilizing information about customer creditworthiness and current economic trends, indicates that collection is doubtful. Provisions for accounts receivable, unbilled receivables and contract assets are included in receivables, less allowances for expected losses on the audited Consolidated Balance Sheets. No single customer comprised more than 10% of net sales for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020.

As of December 31, 2020, the CECL reserve balance was comprised of a $10.1 million provision for accounts receivable and a $0.4 million provision for unbilled receivables and contract assets.
Inventories

Inventories—Inventories include material, labor and factory overhead and are stated at the lower of cost or market, net of excess and obsolescence reserves for raw materials. Provisions for excess and obsolete inventories are made at differing rates, utilizing historical data and current economic trends, based upon the age and type of the inventory or based on specific identification of inventories that will not be utilized in production or sold. Inventory is valued using the First-In, First-Out (“FIFO”) method.

The components of the Company’s inventories at December 31, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

Prepaid Expenses

Prepaid Expenses—Prepaid expenses as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $12.2 million and $11.0 million, respectively.

Long-Lived Assets

Long-Lived Assets—The Company assesses potential impairments to its long-lived assets, including long-lived intangible assets, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impaired asset is written down to its estimated fair value based upon the most recent information available. Long-lived assets, other than goodwill, are recorded at the lower of the carrying value or the fair market value less the estimated cost to sell.

Property, Plant and Equipment, Net

Property, Plant and Equipment, net—Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Useful lives range from 5 to 40 years for buildings, the lesser of 7 years or the lease term for leasehold improvements and from 3 to 13 years for machinery and equipment. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred. Major overhauls that extend the useful lives of existing assets are capitalized. When property, plant or equipment is retired or disposed, the costs and accumulated depreciation are eliminated and the resulting profit or loss is recognized in the results of operations.

The components of the Company’s property, plant and equipment, net at December 31, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

Assets Held for Sale

Assets Held for Sale—As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had land held for sale with a carrying value of $2.6 million. In 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the land, however, during the second quarter of 2022, the buyer terminated the agreement. On August 30, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the land for $13.0 million. The closing of this transaction is subject to a due diligence period, a period to obtain needed entitlements and customary closing conditions and there is no assurance that the sale will be completed. The Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $2.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2021 for the remaining carrying value of an office building located on the property as a result of its demolition. The impairment charge was recorded in restructuring, impairment and other charges, net in the audited Consolidated Statements of Operations in the CM-CCM segment.

Software

Software, net—The Company incurs costs to develop its software-as-a-service applications as well as for internal-use. These costs include both direct costs from third-party vendors and eligible salaries and payroll-related costs of employees. The Company capitalizes software developments costs when management with the relevant authority authorizes and commits to the funding of the software project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the functions intended. Costs associated with upgrades and enhancements are capitalized only if such modifications result in additional functionality of the software, whereas costs incurred for preliminary project stage activities, training, project management and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Capitalized software development costs are amortized over their estimated useful life using the straight-line method, up to a maximum of three years. Amortization expense related to internally-developed software, excluding amortization expense related to other intangible assets, was $38.3 million, $32.8 million and $30.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Investments

Investments—The carrying value of the Company’s investments in equity securities was $8.5 million and $8.0 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company measures its equity securities that do not have a readily determinable fair value at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. The Company performs an assessment on a quarterly basis to assess whether triggering events for impairment exist and to identify any observable price changes. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded net unrealized gains of $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, resulting from observable price changes. These unrealized gains on equity securities were included in investment and other income, net in the audited Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $5.9 million related to an investment in equity securities, which was included in restructuring, impairment and other charges, net in the audited Consolidated Statements of Operations. The remaining carrying value of the investment was $5.1 million at December 31, 2022. Future changes in the estimated fair value could result in further impairment charges.

In the second quarter of 2020, the Company sold the remaining 50% of its holding of an investment and received proceeds of $12.8 million, which approximated the carrying value of the investment.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, net—Goodwill is either assigned to a specific reporting unit or, in certain circumstances, allocated between reporting units based on the relative fair value of each reporting unit.

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually as of October 31 or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is below its carrying amount. The Company also performs an interim review for indicators of impairment at each quarter-end to assess whether an interim impairment review is required for any reporting unit.

For the annual goodwill impairment review, the Company has the option to perform a qualitative test or a quantitative test. When a qualitative assessment is performed, the Company considers various qualitative factors, including economic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance of the reporting unit and other entity and reporting unit specific events. Based on this qualitative analysis, if management determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying value, no further impairment testing is performed.

For reporting units where a quantitative method is used, the Company compares each reporting unit's fair value, estimated based on comparable company market valuations and expected future discounted cash flows to be generated by the reporting unit, to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit is less than the fair value, no impairment exists. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds the estimated fair value, an impairment loss is recognized, generally in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

As of October 31, 2022, each of the reporting units with goodwill was reviewed for impairment using a qualitative assessment and the Company concluded that it was not more likely than not that the fair values of the reporting units were less than their carrying values and therefore there was no impairment. The Company's assessment of goodwill impairment for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 resulted in no impairment. The Company's assessment of goodwill impairment as of October 31, 2020, resulted in a $40.6 million impairment of goodwill for the IC-CCM reporting unit. See Note 6, Restructuring, Impairment and Other Charges, net, for further discussion of the impairment.

Other long-lived intangible assets are recognized separately from goodwill and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. See Note 4, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, net, for further discussion of other intangible assets and the related amortization expense.

Share-Based Compensation

Share-Based Compensation—The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense based on estimated fair values for all share-based awards made to employees and directors, including non-qualified stock options (“stock options”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance share units (“PSUs”). Share-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line or graded basis, depending on the type of an award. Certain of the Company’s awards vest on an annual basis whereas others cliff vest. See Note 12, Share-based Compensation, for further discussion.

The Company’s share-based compensation plan under which it may grant future awards, the Donnelley Financial Solutions, Inc. Amended and Restated 2016 Performance Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2016 PIP”), was approved by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) and the Company’s stockholders and provides incentives to key employees of the Company. Awards under the 2016 PIP may include cash or stock bonuses, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, PSUs, performance cash awards or RSUs. In addition, non-employee members of the Board may receive awards under the 2016 PIP. Increases to the shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2016 PIP requires stockholder approval. On May 13, 2021, the Company's stockholders voted and approved 3.4 million of additional shares of common stock for issuance under the 2016 PIP. At December 31, 2022, there were 3.5 million remaining shares of common stock authorized and available for grant under the 2016 PIP.

For all share-based awards granted to employees and directors, including stock options, RSUs and PSUs, the Company recognizes compensation expense based on estimated grant date fair values as well as certain assumptions as of the grant date, if applicable. The Company estimates the number of awards expected to vest based, in part, on historical forfeiture rates and also based on management’s expectations of employee turnover within the specific employee groups receiving each type of award. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods, if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company recognizes compensation costs for RSUs expected to vest, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term of three years. The Company recognizes compensation costs for PSUs, which cliff vest, on a straight-line basis over the performance period of the award. Compensation expense for stock options is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term of four years.

Share-based awards are subject to forfeiture upon termination of employment prior to vesting, subject in some cases to early vesting upon specified events, including death or permanent disability of the grantee or a change in control of the Company. In addition, upon a change in control of the Company, PSUs will be measured at 100% attainment of the target performance metrics and will remain subject to time based vesting until the end of the vesting period; provided that the award will vest in full if, within three months prior to or two years after the date of the change in control of the Company, the grantee’s employment is terminated without cause by the Company or for good reason by the grantee.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits Plans—DFIN engages outside actuaries to assist in the determination of the obligations and costs under these plans, which were frozen to new participants effective December 31, 2011. The annual income and expense amounts relating to the pension and other postretirement benefits plans are based on calculations which include various actuarial assumptions including mortality expectations, discount rates and expected long-term rates of return. The Company reviews its actuarial assumptions on an annual basis and makes modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends when it is deemed appropriate to do so. The effects of modifications on the value of plan obligations and assets are recognized immediately within other comprehensive income (loss) and amortized into earnings over future periods. The Company believes that the assumptions utilized in recording its obligations under its plans are reasonable based on its experience, market conditions and input from its actuaries and investment advisors. Refer to Note 7, Retirement Plans, for further discussion.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes—Deferred taxes are provided using an asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

The Company maintains an income taxes payable or receivable account in each jurisdiction. The Company classifies interest expense and any related penalties related to income tax uncertainties as a component of income tax expense.

The Company is regularly audited by foreign and domestic tax authorities. These audits occasionally result in proposed assessments where the ultimate resolution might result in the Company owing additional taxes, including in some cases, penalties and interest. The Company recognizes a tax position in its financial statements when it is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. This recognized tax position is then measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Although management believes that its estimates are reasonable, the final outcome of uncertain tax positions may be materially different from that which is reflected in the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company adjusts such reserves upon changes in circumstances that would cause a change to the estimate of the ultimate liability, upon effective settlement or upon the expiration of the statute of limitations, in the period in which such event occurs. See Note 9, Income Taxes, for further discussion.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies—The Company is subject to lawsuits, investigations and other claims and can be involved in various legal, regulatory and arbitration proceedings concerning matters arising in the ordinary course of business, including those noted in Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies. The Company routinely reviews the status of each significant matter and assesses the potential financial exposure. A liability is recorded when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When there is a range of possible losses with equal likelihood, a liability is recorded based on the low end of such range. Because of uncertainties related to these and other matters, accruals are based on the best information available at the time. The amount of such reserves may change in the future due to new developments or changes in approach, such as a change in settlement strategy. The inherent uncertainty related to the outcome of these matters can result in amounts materially different from the amounts accrued in the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Restructuring

Restructuring—The Company records restructuring charges associated with management-approved restructuring plans, which could include the elimination of job functions, closure or relocation of facilities, reorganization of operations, changes in management structure, workforce reductions or other actions. Restructuring charges may include ongoing and enhanced termination benefits related to employee separations, contract termination costs, and other related costs associated with exit or disposal activities. Severance benefits are provided to employees primarily under the Company’s ongoing benefit arrangements. These severance costs are accrued once management commits to a plan of termination and it becomes probable that employees will be separated and entitled to benefits at amounts that can be reasonably estimated. In some instances, the Company enhances its ongoing termination benefits with one-time termination benefits and employee severance costs to be incurred in relation to these restructuring activities are recognized when employees are notified of their enhanced termination benefits. See Note 6, Restructuring, Impairment and Other Charges, net, for further discussion.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers" ("ASU 2021-08"), which requires that an entity recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("Topic 606"), as if it had originated the contracts, rather than at fair value. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's audited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Lessee Leases Policy

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company must consider whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset. Certain arrangements require significant judgment to determine if an asset is specified in the contract and if the Company directs how and for what purpose the asset is used during the term of the contract.

The Company has operating leases for certain service centers, office space, warehouses and equipment. Operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used in determining the present value of future payments at the commencement date of the lease. Balances related to operating leases are included in operating lease ROU assets, operating lease liabilities and noncurrent operating lease liabilities on the audited Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company has finance leases primarily related to certain IT equipment. For finance leases, interest expense on the lease liability is recognized based on the incremental borrowing rate and the ROU assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of the ROU assets. Balances related to finance leases are included in property, plant and equipment, net, accrued liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities on the audited Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company's original lease terms generally range from one year to thirty-five years. The remaining terms of the Company’s leases range from less than a year to seven years. All real estate leases are recorded on the audited Consolidated Balance Sheets. Equipment and other non-real estate leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the audited Consolidated Balance Sheets. Lease agreements for some locations provide for rent escalations and renewal options. Lease terms include the option to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Certain real estate leases require payment for taxes, insurance and maintenance which are considered non-lease components. The Company accounts for real estate leases and the related fixed non-lease components together as a single component.

Earnings Per Share, Policy

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. In computing diluted earnings (loss) per share, basic earnings (loss) per share is adjusted for the assumed issuance of all potentially dilutive share-based awards, including stock options, RSUs, PSUs and restricted stock. Since the Company was in a net loss position for the year ended December 31, 2020, there was no difference between the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted loss per share.
