R.R. DONNELLEY & SONS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (“RRD”)

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, 2017 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2018. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018. 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, we completed the 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 each of Donnelley Financial and 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. Immediately following the Distribution, we held approximately 6.2 million shares of Donnelley Financial common stock and approximately 6.2 million shares of LSC common stock.

In March 2017, we sold all of the approximately 6.2 million shares of LSC common stock retained by us and used the proceeds to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under the Company’s then-existing credit facility. In June 2017 and August 2017, we exchanged all of the approximately 6.2 million shares of Donnelley Financial common stock for certain outstanding senior indebtedness of the Company, which obligations were subsequently cancelled and discharged upon delivery to the Company.

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 in the Business Services 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 loss, net loss per share, or the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The impact of the revision was to reduce previously reported net sales and cost of sales by $17.4 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

The following table presents the impact of the related balance sheet revision on the March 31, 2017 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet:

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was (132.5%), compared to (0.4%) in the same period in 2017, and is primarily driven by the inability to recognize a tax benefit on certain losses and limitations on the Company’s interest expense deduction as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”). Non-deductible interest expense 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 effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2017 reflects the impact of the $51.6 million realized loss on the sale of LSC retained shares. The sale 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.

Cash payments for income taxes were $9.2 million and $15.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Cash refunds for income taxes were $7.1 million and $18.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

On December 22, 2017, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 (SAB 118) which provides guidance for companies analyzing their accounting for the income tax effects of the Tax Act. SAB 118 provides that a company may report provisional amounts based on reasonable estimates. The provisional estimates are then subject to adjustment during a measurement period up to one year and should be accounted for as a prospective change. At December 31, 2017, we were able to make reasonable provisional estimates of the one-time transition tax and impact to deferred taxes; however we continue to analyze our data and refine our estimated amounts accordingly, and continue to interpret any guidance or subsequent clarification of the tax law. As a result, we may make adjustments to the provisional amounts recorded, throughout the year, in accordance with the guidance outlined in SAB 118. During the first quarter of 2018, we made an adjustment of $2.3 million to increase the provisional amounts recorded at December 31, 2017.

Deferred U.S. income taxes and foreign taxes have historically not been provided on the excess of the investment value for financial reporting over the tax basis of investments in those foreign subsidiaries for which such excess is considered to be permanently reinvested in those operations. We continue to analyze the global working capital and cash requirements and the potential tax liabilities attributable to repatriation, but we have yet to determine whether to change the prior assertion and repatriate earnings. We will record the tax effects of any change in the prior assertion in the period the analysis is complete and reasonable estimates are made.

2. Revenue Recognition

On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historical accounting under Topic 605.

We recorded a net increase to opening retained earnings of $12.9 million as of January 1, 2018 due to the cumulative impact of adopting Topic 606, with the impact primarily related to the timing of revenue recognition for certain inventory that has been billed but not yet shipped.

Products

Our products revenue is primarily recognized at a point in time. We generally recognize revenue for products sales upon the transfer of control of the products to the client which typically occurs upon transfer of title and risk of ownership, which is generally upon shipment to the client. For certain products sales, we are able to recognize revenue for completed inventory billed but not yet shipped at the client’s direction.

The following is a description of our products:

Commercial Print

We generate revenue by providing various commercial printing products and offer a full range of branded materials including manuals, publications, brochures, business cards, flyers, post cards, posters and promotional items.

Statements

We generate revenue by creating critical business communications, including customer billings, financial statements, healthcare communications and insurance documents. Our capabilities include design and composition, variable imaging, email, archival and digital mail interaction, as well as our innovative RRDigital solution set.

Direct Mail

We generate revenue by providing print production, including touch mailings, and postal optimization strategies.

Packaging

We generate revenue by providing packaging print for clients in consumer electronics, life sciences, cosmetics and consumer packaged goods industries.

Labels

We generate revenue by producing custom labels for clients across multiple industries including warehouse and distribution, retail, pharmaceutical, manufacturing and consumer packaging. We offer distribution and shipping labels, healthcare and durable goods labels, promotional labels and consumer product goods packaging labels.

Digital Print and Fulfillment

We generate revenue by providing various in-store marketing materials, using our digital and offset printing capabilities, including in-store signage and point-of-purchase displays. We also create photobooks.

Supply Chain Management

We generate revenue by providing workflow design to assembly, configuration, kitting and fulfillment for clients in consumer electronics, telecommunications, life sciences, cosmetics, education and industrial industries.

Forms

We generate revenue by producing a variety of forms including invoices, order forms and business forms that support both the private and public sectors for clients in financial, government, retail, healthcare and business services industries.

Services

Our services revenue is recognized both at a point in time as well as over time. Our logistics revenue is primarily recognized over time as the performance obligation is completed. Due to the short transit period of logistics performance obligations, the timing of revenue recognition does not require significant judgment. Our business process outsourcing and digital and creative solutions revenue is recognized over time or at a point in time, depending on the nature of the service which could be either recurring or project-based.

Logistics

We generate revenue by providing specialized transportation and distribution services. These services are comprised of freight services, including truckload, less-than-truckload, intermodal and international freight forwarding; international mail and parcel distribution; print logistics services, including distribution of retail and newsstand printed materials; and courier services including same day and next day delivery.

Business Process Outsourcing

We generate revenue by providing outsourcing services including creative services, research and analytics, financial management and other services for legal providers, insurance, telecommunications, utilities, retail and financial services companies.

Digital and Creative Solutions

We generate revenue by creating and managing content designed to speak directly to customers, including print and digital advertising, direct marketing and direct mail design, packaging design, marketing and sales collateral and in-store marketing.

Variable Consideration

Certain clients may receive volume-based rebates or early payment discounts, which are accounted for as variable consideration. We estimate these amounts based on the expected amount to be earned by our clients and reduce revenue accordingly. We do not expect significant changes to estimates of variable consideration. Given the nature of our products and the history of returns, product returns are not significant.

Contract liabilities primarily relate to client advances received prior to completion of performance obligations. Reductions in contract liabilities are a result of the Company’s completion of performance obligations.

Revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2018 from amounts included in contract liabilities at the beginning of the period was approximately $21.0 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we reclassified $4.0 million of contract assets to receivables as a result of the completion of the performance obligation and the right to the consideration becoming unconditional.

Practical Expedients and Exemptions

As part of the adoption of Topic 606, we have elected practical expedients and exemptions allowable under the guidance.

We account for shipping and handling activities performed after the control of a good has been transferred to the client as a fulfillment cost. We accrue for the costs of shipping and handling activities if revenue is recognized before contractually agreed shipping and handling activities occur.

We apply Topic 606 to a portfolio of contracts (or performance obligations) with similar characteristics as we reasonably expect that the effects on the financial statements of applying this guidance to the portfolio would not differ significantly from applying this guidance to the individual contracts (or performance obligations) within that portfolio.

When the output method for measure of progress is determined appropriate, we recognize revenue in the amount for which we have the right to invoice for revenue that is recognized over time and for which we can demonstrate that the invoiced amount corresponds directly with the value to the client for the performance completed to date.

We generally expense sales commissions and other costs to obtain a contract when incurred, because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses.

We exclude sales taxes and other similar taxes from the measurement of the transaction price. We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations, nor do we disclose the timing of revenue recognition for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, depreciation expense was $33.3 million and $35.7 million, respectively.

During the fourth quarter of 2017, we entered into an agreement to sell a building and transfer the related land use rights to a third party for a facility in the Business Services segment. During the three months ended December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018, we received deposits in accordance with the terms of the agreement of approximately $12.5 million and $32.1 million, respectively, which are recorded in other noncurrent liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The terms of the agreement require the buyer to make additional deposits to us through the close date, which is expected to occur in 2020. As of March 31, 2018, we continue to classify the carrying cost of the building within property, plant and equipment and record depreciation expense. The carrying cost of the land use rights are classified in other noncurrent assets.

Restructuring and Other

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded net restructuring charges of $3.2 million for employee termination costs. These charges primarily relate to the reorganization of selling, general and administrative functions across each segment and an announced facility closure in the Business Services segment. The Company also incurred lease termination and other restructuring charges of $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Additionally, the Company recorded a $4.9 million net gain on the sale of previously impaired assets in the Business Services segment. These assets were impaired in 2015.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recorded net restructuring charges of $6.4 million for employee termination costs. These charges primarily related to ceasing the Company’s relationship in a joint venture within the Business Services segment, the reorganization of certain operations and one facility closure in the Marketing Solutions segment. The Company also incurred lease termination and other restructuring charges of $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and recorded impairment charges of $0.5 million related to equipment associated with a facility closure in the Marketing Solutions segment.

Multi-Employer Pension Plan (MEPP) Charges

For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded charges of $0.6 million for MEPP withdrawal obligations unrelated to facility closures. The total liabilities for the withdrawal obligations associated with the Company’s decision to withdraw from all multi-employer pension plans included in accrued liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities are $5.1 million and $31.0 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2018

The current portion of restructuring reserves of $9.1 million at March 31, 2018 was included in accrued liabilities, while the long-term portion of $12.2 million, primarily related to multi-employer pension plan withdrawal obligations related to facility closures, employee terminations in litigation within the Business Services segment and lease termination costs, was included in other noncurrent liabilities at March 31, 2018.

The Company anticipates that payments associated with the employee terminations reflected in the above table will be substantially completed by March 2019, excluding employee terminations in litigation within the Business Services segment.

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

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.

7. Employee Benefits
