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

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 “RR Donnelley”) 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 as well as an other than normal adjustment as described in the paragraph below, 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 and Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 20122013 filed with the SEC on February 26, 2013.2014 and February 27, 2014, respectively. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.2014. 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.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company identified and recognized $22.7 million, of which $19.8 million was recognized in the first quarter of 2012, to correct an over-accrual for rebates owed to certain office products customers, which understated accounts receivable and net sales during the years 2008 through 2011. Following qualitative and quantitative review, the Company concluded that the over-accrual was not material to any prior period, to the full year 2012, or the trend of annual operating results.

  

Note 2. Acquisitions

The former owners of XPO may receive contingent consideration in the form of cash payments of up to $4.0 million subject to XPO achieving certain gross profit targets. As of the acquisition date, the Company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration to be $3.5 million using a probability weighting of the potential payouts. The Company has subsequently revised the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration to $2.9 million as the result of a decrease in the likelihood of achieving certain gross profit targets. The adjustment to the fair value of the contingent consideration was recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Any further changes in the estimated contingent consideration will also be recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

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

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

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

 

OperationsFor the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included net sales of all$157.9 million and an operating loss of $21.7 million related to the 2012 acquisitions areConsolidated Graphics acquisition, including restructuring, impairment and other charges of $17.1 million and a charge of $12.1 million resulting from an inventory purchase accounting adjustment.  Operating results for Esselte were not included in the U.S. Print and Related Services segment.Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2014, as they were not material to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012,March 31, 2014, the Company recorded $1.3 million and $2.1$7.7 million of acquisition-related expenses respectively, associated with acquisitions completed or contemplated, within selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Presort, Meisel, XPOEsselte, MultiCorpora and EDGAR OnlineConsolidated Graphics acquisitions were recorded by allocating the cost of the acquisitions to the assets acquired, including other intangible assets, based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date.  The excess of the cost of the acquisitions and the fair value of the contingent consideration over the net amounts assigned to the fair value of the assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill is primarily attributable to the synergies expected to arise as a result of the acquisitions.   

For Esselte, the preliminary fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired of approximately $113.1 million exceeded the purchase price of $96.5 million, resulting in a bargain purchase gain of $16.6 million, which was recorded in net investment and other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014.  The gain on the bargain purchase was primarily attributable to the Company’s ability to utilize certain tax operating losses.  

The purchase price allocations for Esselte and Consolidated Graphics are preliminary because the evaluations necessary to assess the fair values of the net assets acquired are still in process.  The primary areas that are not yet finalized relate to the completion of the independent valuations of the property, plant and equipment acquired and other intangible assets, the acquired tax assets as the tax returns have yet to be completed and filed and certain accrued liabilities.  For Esselte, any changes to the fair value assessments will affect the gain on the bargain purchase.  The final purchase price allocations may differ from what is currently reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements.  

MultiCorpora’s purchase price allocation is also preliminary, as the Company is still in the process of obtaining data to finalize the estimated fair values of certain account balances.  

The preliminary tax deductible goodwill related to thesethe Consolidated Graphics, Esselte and MultiCorpora acquisitions was $23.5$73.5 million.

Restructuring and Impairment Charges

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded net restructuring charges of $17.9 million and $34.0 million, respectively, for employee termination costs for 1,276 employees, of whom 779 were terminated as of September 30, 2013. These charges primarily related to the closing of three manufacturing facilities within the U.S. Print and Related Services segment and the reorganization of certain operations. Additionally, the Company incurred lease termination and other restructuring charges of $7.6 million and $26.2 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, including charges related to multi-employer pension plan withdrawal obligations as a result of facility closures. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company also recorded $7.9$4.1 million and $15.7 million, respectively, of impairment charges primarily related to buildings and machinery and equipment associated with facility closings.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded net restructuring charges of $7.5 million and $58.1 million, respectively, for employee termination costs for 2,100 employees, substantially all of whom were terminated as of September 30, 2013. These charges primarily related to actions resulting from the reorganization of sales and administrative functions across all segments, the closing of five manufacturing facilities within the U.S. Print and Related Services segment and one manufacturing facility within the International segment and the reorganization of certain operations. Additionally, the Company incurred lease termination and other restructuring charges of $4.8 million and $20.6 millionclosings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. The Company also recorded $1.6 million and $19.2 million, respectively, of impairment charges primarily related to machinery and equipment associated with the facility closings and other asset disposals for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

March 31, 2013. The fair values of the buildings and machinery and equipment were determined to be Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy and were estimated based on discussions with real estate brokers, review of comparable properties, if available, discussions with machinery and equipment brokers, dealer quotes and internal expertise related to the current marketplace conditions.

Other Charges

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013,March 31, 2014, the Company recorded other charges of $4.7$20.5 million as a result of its decision to partially withdraw from certain multi-employer pension plans.  These charges for multi-employer pension plan withdrawal obligations, unrelated to facility closures, were included in restructuring, impairment and other charges in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and represent the Company’s best estimate of the expected settlement of these withdrawal liabilities. The liabilities for these withdrawal obligations of $4.7included $3.8 million and $88.2 million in accrued liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities, respectively, as of September 30, 2013 were included in other non-current liabilities.

March 31, 2014.

As of September 30, 2013, the Company was contributing to three defined benefit multi-employer pension plans. It is reasonably possible that the Company will withdraw from one or more of the remaining multi-employer pension plans in the near

term, which would give rise to additional withdrawal obligations. The Company currently estimates that these potential withdrawal obligations for all three plans could range from $45 to $55 million.

the aggregate. The Company’s withdrawal liability may be disproportionate to its current costs of continuing to participate in the plans and could be affected by the financial stability of other employers participating in the plans and any decision by other participating employers to withdraw from the plans in the future.  While it is not possible to quantify the potential impact of future events or circumstances, further reductions in participation or withdrawals from multi-employer pension plans could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated annual results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

The current portion of restructuring reserves of $37.1$36.1 million at September 30, 2013March 31, 2014 was included in accrued liabilities, while the long-term portion of $51.3$46.3 million, primarily related to multi-employer pension plan complete or partial withdrawal obligations related to facility closures and lease termination costs, was included in other noncurrent liabilities at September 30, 2013.March 31, 2014.

The Company anticipates that payments associated with the employee terminations reflected in the above table will be substantially completed by September of 2014.March 2015.

Payments on all of the Company’s multi-employer pension plan complete or partial withdrawal obligations including those related to facility closures and as a result of the Company’s decision to withdraw from the plan, are scheduled to be substantially completed by 2033.2034. Changes based on uncertainties in these estimated withdrawal obligations such as those described above, could affect the ultimate charges related to multi-employer pension plan withdrawals.

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, theThe restructuring liabilities classified as “lease terminations and other” consisted of lease terminations, other facility closing costs and contract termination costs. Payments on certain of the lease obligations are scheduled to continue until 2026. Market conditions and the Company’s ability to sublease these properties could affect the ultimate charges related to the lease obligations. Any potential recoveries or additional charges could affect amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of future periods.

10. Earnings per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net earnings (loss) attributable to RR Donnelley common shareholders 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, 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 yet 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.

During the nine three months ended September 30,March 31, 2014 and 2013, and 2012, 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 (loss)per share calculation and the anti-dilutive share-based awards for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2014 and 2013 and 2012 were as follows:

13. 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 eleventwelve active federal and state Superfund and other multiparty remediation sites. In addition to these sites, the Company may also have the obligation to remediate ten 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, recordedrecorded in accrued liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities, that it believes

20


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

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

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, thethe 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. 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 effectiveeffective 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 CompanyCompany is exposed to currency risk. Periodically, the Company uses foreign exchange spot and forward contracts to hedge exposures resulting from foreign exchange fluctuations. Accordingly, the implied gains and losses associated with the fair values of foreign currency exchange contracts are generally offset by gains and losses on underlying payables, receivables and net investments in foreign subsidiaries. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

The Company has entered into foreign exchange forward contracts in order to manage the currency exposure of certain assets and liabilities. The foreign exchange forward contracts were not designated as hedges, and accordingly, the fair value gains or losses from these foreign currency derivatives are recognized currently in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, generally offsetting the foreign exchange gains or losses on the exposures being managed. The aggregate notional valueamount of the forward contracts at September 30, 2013March 31, 2014 and December 31, 20122013 was $524.9$394.2 million and $654.2$372.1 million, respectively. The fair values of foreign exchange forward contracts were determined to be Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy and are valued using market exchange rates.

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

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 valuenotional amount of $400.0 million areat 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 arewere attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate.  During March 2014, the Company repurchased $211.0 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.  As a result of the termination, the remaining notional amount of the interest rate swap agreements as of March 31, 2014 was $190.0 million. The interest rate swaps were designated as fair value hedges against changes in the value of $239.0 million of the Company’s 8.25% senior notes due March 15, 2019.

On April 9, 2010, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate risk exposure, effectively changing the interest rate on $600.0 million of its fixed-rate senior notes to a floating-rate LIBOR plus a basis point spread. The interest rate swaps, with a notional valueamount of $600.0 million at inception, arewere designated as fair value hedges against changes in the value of the Company’s 4.95% senior notes due April 1, 2014, which arewere attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate. During March 2012, the Company repurchased $341.8 million of the 4.95% senior notes due April 1, 2014, and related interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $342.0 million were terminated, resulting in proceeds of $11.0 million for the fair value of the interest rate swaps. As a result of the termination, the remaining notional amount of the interest rate swap agreements as of March 31, 2014 was $258.0 million. The interest rates swaps were designated as fair value hedges against changes in the value of $258.2 million of the Company’s 4.95% senior notes due April 1, 2014.

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,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. 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, on at least a quarterly basis.

The Company’s foreign exchange forward 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 exchange forward contracts on a net basis when possible. Foreign exchange forward contracts that can be settled on a net basis are presented net in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Interest rate swaps are 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 where the Company could be declared in default subsequent to a merger or restructuring type event if the creditworthiness of the resulting entity is materially weaker.

16. Fair Value Measurement

Certain assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company’s only assets and liabilities required to be adjusted to fair value on a recurring basis are pension and other postretirement benefits plan assets, foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swaps. See Note 15 for further discussion on the fair value of the Company’s foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swaps as of September 30, 2013March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2012.2013. See Note 14 for the fair value of the Company’s debt, which is recorded at book value.

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. See Note 2 for further discussion on the fair value of assets and liabilities associated with acquisitions.

AssetsThe fair value as of the measurement date, net book value as of March 31, 2014 and 2013 and related impairment charge for assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis subsequent to initial recognition during the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2014 and 2013 and 2012 were as follows:

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

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

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

The Company’s accounting and finance management determines the valuation policies and procedures for Level 3 fair value measurements and is responsible for the development and determination of unobservable inputs.

 

The fair values of the long-lived assets held and used and long-lived assets held for sale or disposal were determined using Level 3 inputs and were estimated based on discussions with real estate brokers, review of comparable properties, if available, discussions with machinery and equipment brokers, dealer quotes and internal expertise related to the current marketplace conditions. Unobservable inputs obtained from third parties are adjusted as necessary for the condition and attributes of the specific asset.asset.

 

17. Venezuela Currency Remeasurement

Since January 1, 2010, the three-year cumulative inflation for Venezuela using the blended Consumer Price Index and National Consumer Price Index has exceeded 100%. As a result, Venezuela’s economy is considered highly inflationary and the financial statements of the Company’s Venezuelan subsidiaries are remeasured as if the functional currency were the U.S. Dollar. Prior to March 31, 2014, the financial statements were remeasured based on the official rate determined by the government of Venezuela. On February 8, 2013, the government of Venezuela changed its primary fixed exchange rate from 4.3 Bolivars per U.S. Dollar to 6.3 Bolivars per U.S. Dollar, devaluing the Bolivar by 32%. This devaluation resulted in a pre-tax loss of $3.2 million ($2.0 million after-tax), of which $1.0 million was recognized as a loss attributable to noncontrolling interests during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Venezuelan government expanded the operation of the Supplementary System for the Administration of Foreign Currency (“SICAD 1”) currency exchange mechanism for use with certain transactions. In addition, the Venezuelan government also began operating the SICAD 2 exchange which the government indicated is available to all entities for all transactions.  The Venezuelan government has indicated that the official rate of 6.3 Bolivars per U.S. Dollar will be reserved only for settlement of U.S. Dollar denominated purchases of “essential goods and services.”  As of March 31, 2014, the SICAD 1 and SICAD 2 exchange rates were 10.7 and 49.8 Bolivars per U.S. Dollar, respectively.  While there is considerable uncertainty as to the nature, amount and timing of transactions that will be settled through SICAD 1 and SICAD 2, effective as of March 31, 2014, certain assets of the Company’s Venezuelan subsidiaries were remeasured at the SICAD 2 rate as the Company believes those assets will ultimately be utilized to settle U.S. Dollar denominated liabilities using SICAD 2.  Remaining net monetary assets were remeasured at the SICAD 1 rate, as the Company believes SICAD 1 will be applicable for future transactions, and dividend remittances, if any, from the Company’s Venezuelan subsidiaries.  As a result of the remeasurement at the SICAD 1 and SICAD 2 rates, during the three months ended March 31, 2014, a pre-tax loss of $21.8 million ($14.9 million after-tax) was recognized in net investment and other expense, of which $7.1 million was included in loss attributable to noncontrolling interests.

Because the SICAD exchanges are auction-based and auctions are held periodically during each quarter, the exchange rates available through SICAD will fluctuate over time, which will cause additional remeasurements of the Company’s Venezuelan subsidiaries’ local currency-denominated net monetary assets and further impact ongoing results. The operating results of the Venezuelan subsidiaries, one of which is the operating entity and a 50.1% owned joint venture, are not significant to the Company’s consolidated results of operations.

18. New Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013,April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08 “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205)and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity” (“ASU 2014-08”), which modifies the requirements for disposals to qualify as discontinued operations and expands related disclosure requirements.  ASU 2014-08 will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2015. The adoption of ASU 2014-08 may impact whether future disposals qualify as discontinued operations and therefore could impact the Company’s financial statement presentation and disclosures.

In January 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-01 “Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects” (“ASU 2014-01”), which modifies the criteria an entity must meet in order  to account for its investments in qualified affordable housing projects using the proportional amortization method. ASU 2014-01 will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2015. The adoption of ASU 2014-01 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists” (“ASU 2013-11”), which requires an unrecognized tax benefit to be presented as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating

ASU 2013-11 will bewas effective for and adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2014. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 isdid not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-10 “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes” (“ASU 2013-10”), which permits the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate to be used as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes and removes the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges. ASU 2013-10 was effective for and adopted by the Company in the third quarter of 2013 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-05 “Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity” (“ASU 2013-05”), which requires the release of cumulative translation adjustments into net income when an entity ceasesceases to have a controlling financial interest resulting in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity.

These increases were partially offsetdeclined by approximately 1.1% (see Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).  The net sales decline on a pro forma basis resulted from price pressures, primarily in magazines, catalogs and retail inserts, a decline inlower pass-through print management sales and lower volume in business process outsourcing, a decline in XBRL and compliance services volume, decreased pass-through paper sales in books and directories and magazines, catalogs and retail inserts, lower volume in magazines, catalogs and retail inserts and commercial print and changes in foreign exchange rates.rates and a decrease in pass-through paper sales.  The largest net sales declines were experienced in magazines, catalogs and retail inserts, business process outsourcing commercial and books and directories.  The decline was partially offset by increased volume in logistics, price increases driven by inflation in Latin America, higher volume in Asia, an increase in capital markets transactions activity and higher volume in creative and prepress services.

During the first quarter of 2014, the Company completed three acquisitions.  Consolidated Graphics, a provider of digital and commercial printing, fulfillment services, print management and proprietary Internet-based technology solutions, with operations in North America, Europe and Asia, was acquired for a total transaction value of $660.6 million, plus the assumption of Consolidated Graphics’ debt of $118.4 million. The Company continuesacquired Esselte, a developer and manufacturer of nationally branded and private label office and stationery products, for a total transaction value of $96.5 million.  The assets of MultiCorpora, an international provider of translation technology solutions, were acquired for $6.1 million. These acquisitions are expected to implement strategic initiatives across all platforms to reduce its overall cost structure and enhance productivity. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company realized cost savings from the suspension of the Company’s 401(k) match; restructuring activities, including the impact of the prior year reorganization of salesexisting capabilities and administrative functions across all segmentsability to serve its customers as well as continuing facility consolidationsprovide cost savings through the combination of best practices, complementary products and reorganizations across certain platforms;manufacturing and reduced healthcare costs primarily as a result of lower headcount and favorable claims experience.

As a result of the improving trend in net sales and the benefits of its ongoing cost reduction efforts, the Company anticipates higher full-year employee incentive compensation payouts for 2013 compared to 2012. Incentive compensation expense in the third quarter of 2013 was $17.9 million, an increase of $38.4 million as compared to the third quarter of 2012, during which the Company reduced its accrued liabilities for incentive compensation because of lower expected full-year payouts compared to prior quarters of 2012. Of the increase in incentive compensation expense, $25.9 million, $7.5 million and $5.0 million was reflected in the U.S. Print and Related Services segment, International segment and Corporate, respectively.  

In addition to incentive compensation expense, the third quarter of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 was also unfavorably impacted by other non-comparable items including lower pension and other postretirement benefits plan income and reductions in workers’ compensation reserves and LIFO inventory provisions recorded during the third quarter of 2012.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $307.1 million compared to $169.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities primarily resulted from improved invoicing cycle time and collections efforts, lower pension and other postretirement benefits plan contributions, lower payments related to incentive compensation and the 2013 suspension of the Company’s 401(k) match, partially offset by higher supplier payments in the first nine months of 2013 due to timing and higher cash payments for income taxes. Similar to 2012, higher net cash inflows from operations in the third quarter of 2013 as compared to the first and second quarters of 2013 were due to normal operating cycles of the Company’s business and are also expected in the fourth quarter of 2013.distribution capabilities.

On August 26, 2013,March 20, 2014, the Company issued $400.0 million of 7.00%6.00% senior notes due February 15, 2022.April 1, 2024.  Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1, commencing on October 1, 2014.  The net proceeds from the offering along with borrowings under the Credit Agreement were used to repurchase $200.0$211.0 million of the 8.25% senior notes due March 15, 2019, $100.0 million of the 7.25% senior notes due May 15, 2018 $100.0and $50.0 million of the 5.50%7.625% senior notes due MayJune 15, 2015 and $100.0 million of the 6.125% senior notes due January 15, 2017.2020. The repurchases resulted in a pre-tax


loss on debt extinguishment of $46.3$77.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013March 31, 2014 related to the premiums paid, unamortized debt issuance costs, elimination of the $2.8 million fair value adjustment on the 8.25% senior notes and other expenses. As a result of the repurchases, the Company’s annual long-term debt maturities are less than $360$260 million in each year until 2019.

OUTLOOK

Competition and Strategy

The print and related services industry, in general, continues to have excess capacity and remains highly competitive. Despite some consolidation in recent years, the industry remains highly fragmented. Across the Company’s range of products and services, competition is based primarily on price in addition to quality and the ability to service the special needs of customers. Management expects that prices for the Company’s products and services will continuecontinue to be a focal point for customers in coming years. Therefore, the Company believes it needs to continue to lower its cost structure and differentiate its product and related service offerings.

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 the Company’s products and services. The Company seeks to utilize the distinctive capabilities of its products and services to improve its customers’ communications, whether in paper form or through electronic communications.form. The Company’s goal remains to help its customers succeed by delivering effective and targeted communications in the right format to the right audiences at the right time. Management believes that with the Company’s competitive strengths, including its broad range of complementary print-related services, strong logistics capabilities, technology leadership, depth of management experience, customer relationships and economies of scale, the Company has developed and can further develop valuable, differentiated solutions for its customers. The Company seeks to draw on its unified platform and strong customer relationships in order to serve a larger share of its customers’ print and related services needs.

As a substitute for print, theThe impact of digital technologies has been felt mainly in books, directories, forms and statement printing.many print products. Electronic communication and transaction technology has eliminated or reduced the role of many traditional printed products and has continued to drive electronic substitution in directory and statement printing, in part driven by environmental concerns and cost pressures at key customers. In addition, rapid growth in the adoption of e-bookse-book substitution is having a continuing impact on consumerconsumer print book volume, though onlyadoption rates are stabilizing, and a limited impact on


educational and specialty books. Digital technologies have also impacted printed magazines, as some advertisingadvertiser spending has moved from print to electronic media. The future impact of technology on the Company’s business is difficult to predict and could result in additional expenditures to restructure impacted operations or develop new technologies. In addition, the Company has made targeted acquisitions and investments in the Company’s existing business to offer customers innovative services and solutions that further secure the Company’s position as a technology leader in the industry.

The acquisitions of Consolidated Graphics, Esselte and MultiCorpora support the Company’s strategic objective of generating profitable growth and improved cash flow and liquidity through targeted acquisitions.  These acquisitions are expected to enhance the Company’s existing capabilities and ability to serve its customers as well as provide cost savings opportunities on the combined operations.

The Company has implemented a number of strategic initiatives to reduce its overall cost structure and improve efficiency, including the restructuring, reorganization and integration of operations and streamlining of administrative and support activities. Future cost reduction initiatives could include the reorganization of operations and the consolidation of facilities. Implementing such initiatives might result in future restructuring or impairment charges,charges, which may be substantial. Management also reviews the Company’s operations and management structure on a regular basis to balance appropriate risks and opportunities to maximize efficiencies and to support the Company’s long-term strategic goals.

 

Seasonality

Advertising and consumer spending trends affect demand in several of the end-markets served by the Company. Historically, demand for printing of magazines, catalogs, retail inserts and books is higher in the second half of the year driven by increased advertising pages within magazines, and holiday volume in catalogs, retail inserts and books. This typical seasonal pattern can be impacted by overall trends in the U.S. and world economy. The Company expects the seasonality impact in 20132014 and future years to be in line with historical patterns. Additionally, the Company expects future years to be affected by the impact of election cycles on election-related print business as a result of the acquisition of Consolidated Graphics.

 

Raw materials

The primary raw materials the Company uses in its print businesses are paper and ink. The Company negotiates with leading suppliers to maximize its purchasing efficiencies and uses a wide variety of paper grades, formats, ink formulations and colors. In addition,addition, a substantial amount of paper used by the Company 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 ninethree months of 2013,2014, and volatility in the future is expected. Generally, customers directly absorb the impact of changing prices on customer-supplied paper. With respect to paper purchased by the Company, the Company has historically passed most changes in price through to its customers. Contractual arrangements and industry practice should support the Company’s continued ability to pass on any future paper price increases, but there is no assurance that market conditions will continue to enable the Company to successfully do so. Management believes 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. Additionally, the Company has undertaken various strategic initiatives to mitigate any foreseeable supply disruptions with respect to the Company’s ink requirements. The Company also resells waste paper and other print-related by-products and may be impacted by changes in prices for these by-products.

The Company continues to monitor the impact of changes in the price of crude oil and other energy costs, which impact the Company’s ink suppliers, logistics operations and manufacturing costs. Crude oil and energy prices continue to be volatile. The Company believes its logistics operations will continue to be able to pass a substantial portion of any increases in fuelfuel prices directly to its customers in order to offset the impact of related cost increases. The Company generally cannot pass on to customers the impact of higher energy prices on its manufacturing costs. However, the Company enters into fixed price contracts for a portion of its natural gas purchases to mitigate the impact of changes in energy prices. The Company 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 and the related impact either will have on the Company’s consolidated annual results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

 

Distribution

The Company’s products are distributed to end-users through the U.S. or foreign postal services, through retail channels, electronically or by direct shipment to customer facilities. Through its logistics operations, the Company manages the distribution of most customer products printed by the Company in the U.S. and Canada to maximize efficiency and reduce costs for customers.

Postal costs are a significant component of many customers’ cost structures and postal rate changes can influence the number of piecesquantity that the Company’s customers are willing to print and mail. On January 27, 2013, the United States Postal Service (“USPS”) increased postage rates across all classes of mail by approximately 2.6%, on average. Under the 2006 Postal Accountability and Enhancement


Act, it ishad been anticipated that postage willwould increase annually by an amount equal to or slightly less than the Consumer Price Index (the “CPI”). On SeptemberHowever, on December 24, 2013, the Postal Regulatory Commission (the “PRC”) approved the USPS Board of Governors of the USPS votedGovernors’ request under the Exigency Provision in the applicable law to seekfor price increases of 5.9%4.3%. The exigent rate increase was implemented in addition to a 1.7% rate increase, equal to the CPI, for total price increases of 6.0%, on average, across all mail categories, effective January 26, 2014, which is greater than the annual increase associated with the CPI. The Postal Regulatory commission will review the prices before they become effective and may accept that the proposed rates are consistent with the applicable law, return the proposal2014. According to the PRC’s ruling, the USPS with changes for consideration or implement its ownmust develop a plan to phase out the exigent rate structure.increase once it has produced the revenue justified by the request. As a leading provider of print logistics and among the largest mailers of standard mail in the U.S., the Company works closely with its customers and the USPS to offer innovative products and services to minimize postage costs. While the Company does not directly absorb the impact of higher postal rates on its customers’ mailings, demand for products distributed through the U.S. or foreign postal services is expected to be impacted by changes in the postal rates.

During the third quarter of 2012, the USPS defaulted on two mandatory payments for the funding of retiree health benefits. The USPS announced that these defaults were not expectedcontinues to impact mail services. However, the USPS is continuingevaluate its options to pursue its previously announced plans to restructure its mail delivery network, including the closure of many post office facilities. On April 10, 2013, the USPS announced a delay in the shift to a five-day mail and six-day package delivery schedule that was initially scheduled for August 2013, until legislation is passed that provides the authority to do so. Mail delivery services through the USPS accounted for approximately 48% of the Company’s logistics revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.reduce costs. The impact to the Company of the USPS’s restructuring plans, many of which require legislative action, cannot currently be estimated. Mail delivery services through the USPS accounted for approximately 48% of the Company’s logistics revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company experienced an increase in its costs of transportation, largely as a result of the severe winter weather and regulations restricting the number of hours drivers can work. The Company’s ability to pass on increased transportation costs to its customers varies based on contractual arrangements. Industry practice should support the Company’s ability to pass on future transportation cost increases when contractually allowed, but there is no assurance that market conditions will continue to enable the Company to successfully do so.

 

Risks Related to Market Conditions

The Company performs its annual 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 value of individual reporting units with goodwill based on each reporting unit’s operating results for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2013March 31, 2014 compared to expected results as of October 31, 2012.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. Since October 31, 2012, the market value of the Company’s stock has increased and market yields on the Company’s debt have decreased.

Management considered these trends in these factors when performing its assessment of whether an interim impairment review was required for any reporting unit. Based on this interim assessment, management concluded that as of September 30, 2013,March 31, 2014, 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 global 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, 2013,2014, the Company’s next annual measurement date.


Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans

The funded status of the Company’s 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. The Company reviews its actuarial assumptions on an annual basis as of December 31. As of September 30, 2013, changes in market interest rates have resulted in an estimated increase of approximately 85 basis points for the Company’s most significant pension and other postretirement benefits plans from the discount rate assumptions of 4.2% and 3.9%, respectively, at December 31, 2012. The Company estimates that these increases in discount rates as of September 30, 2013 would have reduced the December 31, 2012 underfunded obligation of $1,396.6 million for the Company’s pension and other postretirement benefits plans by approximately $485 million. The Company continues to recognize current year estimated pension and other postretirement benefits plan income and expense based on the actuarial assumptions as of December 31, 2012.

Based on current estimates, the Company expects to make required cash contributions of $23.1approximately $59 million to $79 million to its pension and other postretirement benefits plans in 2013,2014, of which $20.5$14.2 million has been contributed during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2013,March 31, 2014, and approximately $75$24 million to $29 million in 2014.2015.

As of September 30, 2013,March 31, 2014, the Company was contributing to threefour active defined benefit multi-employer pension plans. As it is probable the Company will withdraw from two of the remaining plans, a $20.5 million withdrawal liability was recorded as of March 31, 2014. It is reasonably possible that the Company will withdraw from one or more of the remaining multi-employer pension plans in the near term, which would give risewith a potential liability ranging from $5 million to additional withdrawal obligations. The Company currently estimates that these potential withdrawal obligations for all three plans range from $45 to $55 million.$10 million in the aggregate. The Company’s withdrawal liability may be disproportionate to its current costs of continuing to participate in the plans and 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, further reductions in participation or withdrawals from these multi-employer pension plans could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated annual results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Consolidated

Net sales of products for the three months ended September 30, 2013March 31, 2014 increased $7.1$96.0 million, or 0.3%4.5%, to $2,178.3$2,225.7 million versus the same period in 2012,2013, including a $4.6$10.3 million, or 0.2%0.5%, decrease due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Net sales of products increased primarily$157.9 million due to the acquisition of Consolidated Graphics. Excluding the impact of Consolidated Graphics, the decrease in net sales was due to price pressures, a decline in pass-through print management sales, lower investment management and compliance volume in financial print and the sale of MRM France during the fourth quarter of 2013, partially offset by price increases driven by inflation in Latin America, higherincreased volume in Latin America due in part to a shift in the timing of a customer’s annual project from the fourth quarter in 2012 to the third quarter in 2013,Asia and an increase in capital markets transactions activity, increased volume in Asia, Global Turnkey Solutions and variable print and higher pass-through paper sales in Asia and Europe, partially offset by a decline in pass-through print management sales and lower volume in business process outsourcing, price pressures primarily in magazines, catalogs and retail inserts, decreased pass-through paper sales in books and directories and magazines, catalogs and retail inserts and lower volume in magazines, catalogs and retail inserts.activity.

The increase in net sales from services was primarily due to the acquisitions of Presort and XPO. Net sales from services also increased as a result of higher volume in freight brokerage services, print logistics, international mail, courier services and premedia volume,creative and prepress services as well as an increase in capital markets transaction activity. These increases were partially offset by a decline in XBRL and compliance services, international mail services, outsourcing and real estate services volume.the disposition of GRES.

An analysis of net sales by reporting unit follows:

Magazines, catalogs and retail inserts: Salesdecreased due to price declines, reduced volume in catalogs due to timing, lower magazines volume anddirectories, decreases in pass-through paper sales.

Variable print: Salesincreased as a result of higher direct mail volume, the acquisition of Meisel and higher statement printing volume, partially offset by lower print and fulfillment volume and price pressures.

Books and directories: Sales decreased primarily as a resultof a decline in pass-through paper sales, partially offset by volume increases in book fulfillment and packaging and consumer books.

Logistics: Sales increased due to the acquisition of Presort, which includes pass-through postage sales, the acquisition of XPO and higher freight brokerage services, print logistics, courier services and co-mail services volume, partially offset by lower organic volume for international mail services.

Financial print: Salesdecreased slightly due to lower XBRL and compliance volume and a decline in pass-through postage sales for investment management products, largely offset by an increase in capital markets transactions activity and sales from the acquisition of Edgar Online.

Forms and labels: Salesincreased due to higher volume in labels, primarily for consumer goods, partially offset by lower volume in forms and price pressures.

Commercial: Sales decreased due to lower volume from existing customers, partially offset by higher pass-through print management volume.

Office products: Salesincreased as a result of an increase in outsourced volume, including back-to-school products, as well as higher binder products volume, partially offset by a decline in prices.

Premedia: Sales increased due to higherprepress, photography and creative services volume, partially offset by price pressures in prepress services.

U.S. Print and Related Services segment income from operations decreased $34.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, mainly driven by higher incentive compensation expense primarily due to reversals recorded in the third quarter of 2012, higher restructuring, impairment and other charges, price pressures, lower recoveries on print-related by-products and unfavorable mix in variable print, partially offset by reduced depreciation and amortization expense, an increase in capital markets transactions activity, higher volume in logistics and cost savings from restructuring activities. Operating margins decreased from 9.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 to 7.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2013, of which 1.3 percentage points were due to higher restructuring, impairment and other charges.

The net sales increase was due to price increases driven by inflation in Latin America, higher volume in Latin America due in part to a shift in the timing of a customer’s annual project from the fourth quarter in 2012 to the third quarter in 2013, higher book export and packaging products and technology manuals volume in Asia, increased sales to existing customers in Global Turnkey Solutions and increased pass-through paper sales in Asia and Europe, partially offset by lower pass-through print management sales and a decline in volume in business process outsourcing and price pressures. An analysis of net sales by reporting unit follows:

Asia: Sales increased due to higher book export volume, increased pass-through paper sales, higher volume in packaging products and technology manuals, an increase in capital markets transactions activity and changes in foreign exchange rates, partially offset by price pressures.

Business process outsourcing: Sales decreased duecustomer losses, primarily impacting pass-through print management volume as well as outsourcing and real estate services volume, and a decline in direct mail volume.

Latin America: Sales increased due toprice increases driven by inflation and higher volume in security products due to a shift in the timing of a customer’s annual project from the fourth quarter in 2012 to the third quarter in 2013, partially offset by changes in foreign exchange rates.

Europe: Sales increased due to higher pass-through paper sales, changes in foreign exchange rates andvolume increases in print and packaging, retail inserts and magazines, partially offset by a decline in technology manuals and directories volume.

Global Turnkey Solutions: Sales increased due to higher volume from existing customers, partially offset by price pressures.

Canada: Salesincreased due to higher forms and labels volume, including in-store marketing products, largely offset by changes in foreign exchange rates.

International segment income from operations increased $17.7 million primarily due to price increases driven by inflation and higher volume in Latin America, higher volume in Asia, an increase in capital markets transactions activity, higher volume in Global Turnkey Solutions, favorable mix in Europe and lower depreciation and amortization expense, partially offset by wage and other inflation in Latin America, Asia and business process outsourcing, an increase in incentive compensation expense primarily due to reversals recorded in the third quarter of 2012, price pressures and lower volume in business process outsourcing. Operating margins increased from 4.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 to 6.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2013, reflecting price increases driven by inflation in Latin America, lower pass-through print management sales and lower depreciation and amortization expense, partially offset by wage and other inflation, higher incentive compensation expense, price pressures and higher pass-through paper sales.

Corporate operating expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2013 were $54.7 million, an increase of $35.2 million compared to the same period in 2012. The increase was driven by lower pension and other postretirement benefits plan income, higher workers’ compensation expense, an increase in incentive compensation expense primarily due to reversals recorded in the third quarter of 2012, an increase in healthcare costs and higher LIFO inventory provisions, partially offset by the suspension of the Company’s 401(k) match.

Consolidated

Net sales of products for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 decreased $114.4 million, or 1.7%, to $6,443.0 million versus the same period in 2012, including a $6.9 million, or 0.1%, decrease due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Net sales of products decreased primarily due to a decline in the U.S. Print and Related Services segment as a result of price pressures largely in magazines, catalogs and retail inserts, lower pass-through paper sales, lower volume and unfavorable mix in magazines catalogs and retail inserts, commercial print and books and directories and the $22.7 million prior year adjustment to net sales to correct for an over-accrual of rebates due to certain office products customers, partially offset by an increase in capital markets transactions activity and an increase in direct mail and statement printing volume. In the International segment, net sales of products increased as a result of higher volume in Asia, price increases driven by inflation in Latin America, increased pass-through paper sales in Asia and Europe, higher volume in Latin America due in part to a shift in the timing of a customer’s annual project from the fourth quarter in 2012 to the third quarter in 2013 and favorable mix and higher volume in Global Turnkey Solutions, partially offset by lower pass-through print management sales and lower volume in business process outsourcing.


Net sales from services for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased $277.1 million, or 27.6%, to $1,282.0 million versus the same period in 2012, including a $3.1 million, or 0.3%, decrease due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The increase in net sales from services was primarily due to the acquisitions of Presort and XPO. Net sales from services also increased as a result of higher freight brokerage services and print logistics volume, higher pass-through postage sales for international mail services and an increase in premedia volume, partially offset by lower volume in outsourcing and real estate services and a decline in XBRL and compliance volume in financial services.

Products gross profit decreased $49.7 million to $1,423.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 versus the same period in 2012 primarily due to price pressures wage and other inflation in Latin America and Asia, the prior year rebate adjustment, lower recoveries on print-related by-products, higher incentive compensation expense and lower volume and unfavorable mix in variable print, commercial print andcatalogs, magazines catalogs and retail inserts, partially offset by price increases driven by inflationfavorable mix in consumer books and higherincreased volume in Latin America, the suspension of the Company’s 401(k) match, higher volume in Asia, cost savings from restructuring activities, an increase in capital markets transactions activitybook fulfillment and reduced healthcare costs due to favorable claims experience and headcount reductions. Products gross margin decreased from 22.5% to 22.1%, reflecting price pressures, wage and other inflation in Latin America and Asia, the prior year rebate adjustment, lower recoveries on print-related by-products, higher incentive compensation expense and unfavorable mix in certain products, largely offset by lower pass-through print management and paper sales, the suspension of the 401(k) match, higher prices driven by inflation in Latin America, cost savings from restructuring activities and reduced healthcare costs.

Services gross profit increased $29.0 million to $303.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 versus the same period in 2012 primarily due to higher sales in logistics as a result of higher freight brokerage services and print logistics volume and the acquisition of XPO, as well as the suspension of the Company’s 401(k) match, reduced healthcare costs due to favorable claims experience and headcount reductions and favorable pricing in logistics. These increases were partially offset by wage and other inflation and lower volume in business process outsourcing, price pressures in premedia, higher incentive compensation expense and lower XBRL and compliance volume in financial services. Services gross margin decreased from 27.3% to 23.7%, of which 3.1 percentage points resulted from pass-through postage sales from the acquisition of Presort. The remaining decrease was due to higher organic pass-through postage sales in international mail services, wage and other inflation in business process outsourcing, price declines in premedia and higher incentive compensation expense, partially offset by favorable pricing in logistics and the suspension of the 401(k) match.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $55.0 million to $867.8 million, and from 10.7% to 11.2% as a percentage of net sales, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 versus the same period in 2012 reflecting a decline in pension and other postretirement benefits plan income, higher incentive compensation expense and wage and other inflation in Latin America and Asia, partially offset by the suspension of the Company’s 401(k) match, lower share-based compensation expense, cost savings from restructuring activities and reduced healthcare costs.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded net restructuring, impairment and other charges of $80.6 million compared to $97.9 million in the same period in 2012. In 2013, these charges included $34.0 million of employee termination costs for 1,276 employees, of whom 779 were terminated as of September 30, 2013. These charges were the result of the closing of three manufacturing facilities within the U.S. Print and Related Services segment and the reorganization of certain operations. Additionally, the Company incurred lease termination and other restructuring charges of $26.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, including charges related to multi-employer pension plan withdrawal obligations as a result of facility closures. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company also recorded $15.7 million of impairment charges primarily related to buildings and machinery and equipment associated with the facility closings and $4.7 million of other charges for estimated obligations related to the decision to partially withdraw from certain multi-employer pension plans.

Restructuring charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 included $58.1 million of employee termination costs for 2,100 employees, substantially all of whom were terminated as of September 30, 2013. These charges were primarily the result of the reorganization of sales and administrative functions across all segments, as well as five manufacturing facility closures within the U.S. Print and Related Services segment, one manufacturing facility closure within the International segment and the reorganization of certain operations. Additionally, the Company incurred lease termination and other restructuring charges of $20.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The Company also recorded $19.2 million of impairment charges primarily related to machinery and equipment associated with facility closings and other asset disposals for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Depreciation and amortization decreased $34.0 million to $330.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to the impairment of $158.0 million of other intangible assets in the fourth quarter of 2012 and the impact of lower capital spending in recent years compared to historical levels. Depreciation and amortization included $48.4 million and $69.1 million of amortization of other intangible assets related to customer relationships, patents, trademarks, licenses and agreements and trade names for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.


Income from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $447.6 million, a decrease of 5.2% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease was due to price pressures, wage and other inflation in Latin America and Asia, higher incentive compensation expense, the prior year rebate adjustment, a decline in pension and other postretirement benefits plan income and lower recoveries on print-related by-products, partially offset by price increases driven by inflation and higher volume in Latin America, reduced depreciation and amortization expense, the suspension of the Company’s 401(k) match, lower restructuring, impairment and other charges, cost savings from restructuring activities, higher volume in Asia and logistics, an increase in capital markets transactions activity and reduced healthcare costs.

Net interest expense increased by $5.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 versus the same period in 2012, primarily due to lower interest income and higher average interest rates on senior notes, partially offset by lower average credit facility borrowings and associated fees.

Net investment and other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $9.2 million and $3.2 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded $5.5 million of impairment losses on equity investments and a $3.2 million loss related to the devaluation of the Venezuelan currency. The nine months ended September 30, 2012 included an impairment loss on an equity investment of $4.1 million.

Loss on debt extinguishment for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $81.9 million related to the premiums paid, unamortized debt issuance costs and other expenses due to the repurchase of $273.5 million of the 6.125% senior notes due January 15, 2017, $250.0 million of the 7.25% senior notes due May 15, 2018, $130.2 million of the 8.60% senior notes due August 15, 2016 and $100.0 million of the 5.50% senior notes due May 15, 2015. Loss on debt extinguishment for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $12.1 million due to the repurchase of $341.8 million of the 4.95% senior notes due April 1, 2014 and $100.0 million of the 5.50% senior notes due May 15, 2015. The loss consisted of $23.2 million related to the premiums paid, unamortized debt issuance costs and other expenses, partially offset by the elimination of $11.1 million of the fair value adjustment on the 4.95% senior notes.

The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was 32.5% compared to 26.3% in the same period in 2012. The tax rate in 2013 reflected the recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits related to certain state tax matters. The 2012 income tax rate reflected a benefit due to the recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits due to the resolution of certain U.S. federal uncertain tax positions and the release of valuation allowances on certain deferred tax assets in Europe, partially offset by a provision of $11.0 million related to certain foreign earnings no longer considered to be permanently reinvested.

Income attributable to noncontrolling interests was $2.6 million and $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, income attributable to noncontrolling interests included a $1.0 million loss for the devaluation of the Venezuelan currency. The increase in income attributable to noncontrolling interests is primarily due to an increase in Venezuela’s earnings, which included the impact of inflation on prices, partially offset by wage and other cost inflation.

Net earnings attributable to RR Donnelley common shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $107.2 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, compared to $197.6 million, or $1.09 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. In addition to the factors described above, the per share results reflect an increase in weighted average diluted shares outstanding of 1.2 million.

Net sales in the U.S. Print and Related Services segment were $5,673.3 million, an increase of $92.5 million, or 1.7%, compared to the same period in 2012. Net sales from acquisitions more than accounted for the increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Pro forma net sales (see Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) in the U.S. Print and Related Services segment declined as a result of price pressures primarily in magazines, catalogs and retail inserts, decreases in pass-through paper sales, a decline in XBRL and compliance volume in financial services, lower volume and unfavorable mix in magazines, catalogs and retail inserts, commercial print and books and directories and the $22.7 million prior year adjustment to net sales to correct for an over-accrual of rebates due to certain office products customers. These decreases were partially offset by higher freight brokerage services and print logistics volume and higher pass-through postage sales for international mail services, an increase in capital markets transactions activity and an increase in premedia, direct mail and statement printing volume.packaging. An analysis of net sales by reporting unit follows:

·

Logistics: Sales increased primarily due to the acquisition of Presort, which includes pass-through postage sales, the acquisition of XPO, higher freight brokerage services and print logistics volume, higher pass-through postage sales for international mail services and an increase in courier services and co-mail services volume, partially offset by a decrease in expedited services and organic international mail services volume.

Financial print: Sales decreased due to lower XBRL and compliance volume anddecreased volume and lower pass-through postage sales for investment management products, partially offset by an increase in capital markets transactions activity and sales from the acquisition of Edgar Online.


Forms and labels: Sales decreased due to lower forms volume and price pressures, partially offset by higher volume in labels, primarily for consumer goods, and an increase in outsourced products volume.

Commercial: Sales decreased due to lower volume from existing customers, partially offset by higher pass-through print management volume.

Office products: Sales decreased as a result of the prior year rebate adjustment,price declines and lower filing and forms and note taking products volume, partially offset by an increase in binder products volume.

U.S. PrintPublishing and RelatedRetail Services segment income from operations decreased $12.9$11.9 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2013 comparedMarch 31, 2014 due to the same period in 2012, mainly driven by price pressures, the prior year rebate adjustment, lower recoveries on print-related by-products, higher incentive compensation expense and lower volume and unfavorable mix in variable print, commercial print and magazines, catalogs and retail inserts, partially offset by reduced depreciation and amortization expense, cost savings from restructuring activities, lower restructuring, impairment and other charges, price pressures, volume declines in educational books, directories and magazines, higher volume in logisticsenergy costs and an increase in capital markets transactions activity. Operating margins decreased from 8.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to 8.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, due to price declines, the prior year rebate adjustment, lower recoveries on print-related by-products, higher incentive compensation expense, unfavorable mix in certain products and increased pass-through postage sales, largelyexpense.  These decreases were partially offset by lower depreciation and amortization expense, cost savings from restructuring activities and other cost control initiatives. Operating margins decreased from 3.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to 1.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2014, of which 1.1 percentage points were due to higher restructuring, impairment and other charges. The remaining decrease in operating margin was due to price pressures and volume declines in educational books, directories and magazines, partially offset by lower depreciation and amortization expense and cost savings from restructuring activities.

Net sales for the Variable Print segment for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were $792.1 million, an increase of $143.7 million, or 22.2%, compared to 2013, including a $0.8 million, or 0.1% decrease due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Net sales increased $157.9 million due to the acquisition of Consolidated Graphics. Excluding the impact of Consolidated Graphics, the decrease in net sales was due to lower volume in statement printing, commercial print, labels and forms and price pressures, partially offset by higher volume in print and fulfillment and direct mail. An analysis of net sales by reporting unit follows:

·

Commercial and digital print: Sales increased due to the acquisition of Consolidated Graphics. Excluding the impact of Consolidated Graphics, the sales decrease was due to a decline in commercial print volume and price pressures, partially offset by higher volume in print and fulfillment.

·

Direct mail: Sales increased as a result of higher volume, partially offset by price declines.

·

Statement printing: Sales decreased as a result of lower volume from existing customers due to electronic substitution.

·

Labels: Sales decreased due to lower volume and price pressures.

·

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

·

Office products: Sales decreased slightly as a result of lower volume partially due to timing.

Variable Print segment income from operations decreased $29.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 mainly due to higher restructuring, impairment and other charges, the charge resulting from a purchase accounting inventory adjustment of $12.1 million from the Consolidated Graphics acquisition, lower volume and unfavorable mix within legacy commercial and digital print, statement printing and stock products, price pressure and an increase in incentive compensation expense.  These were partially offset by cost control initiatives. Operating margins decreased from 8.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to 3.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2014, of which 2.8 percentage points were due to higher restructuring, impairment and other charges and 1.9 percentage points were due to the purchase accounting inventory adjustment.  The remaining change in operating margins was due to unfavorable mix and price declines.

The Company has a $1.15 billion senior secured revolving Credit Agreement which expires October 15, 2017. In order to provide greater flexibility due to the increased size of the Company as a result of the acquisitions of Consolidated Graphics and Esselte, certain terms of the Credit Agreement were amended effective April 11, 2014. The Company was in compliance with all terms of the Credit Agreement prior to the amendment (see Exhibit 4.7 for the complete amendment).

On April 1, 2014, cash on hand and borrowings under the Credit Agreement were used to pay the $258.2 million 4.95% senior notes that matured on April 1, 2014. In conjunction with the debt maturity, the related interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $258.0 million also matured.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a base or Eurocurrency rate plus an applicable margin determined at the time of the borrowing. In addition, the Company pays facility commitment fees which fluctuate dependent on the Credit Agreement’s credit ratings. The Credit Agreement is used for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions and letters of credit. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by its material and certain other domestic subsidiaries and are secured by a pledge of the equity interests of certain subsidiaries, including most of its domestic subsidiaries, and a security interest in substantially all of the domestic current assets and mortgages of certain domestic real property of the Company.

The Credit Agreement is subject to a number of covenants, including a minimum Interest Coverage Ratiointerest coverage ratio and a maximum Leverage Ratio,leverage ratio, as defined and calculated pursuant to the Credit Agreement, that, in part, restrict the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, engage in mergers and consolidations, make restricted payments and dispose of certain assets and may also limit the use of proceeds. assets.

There were no$10.0 million in borrowings under the Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2013.March 31, 2014. Based on the Company’s results of operations for the twelve months ended September 30, 2013March 31, 2014 and existing debt, the Company would have had the ability to utilize $0.8$1.0 billion of the $1.15 billion Credit Agreement and not have been in violation of the terms of the agreement.

The current availability as of September 30, 2013March 31, 2014 under the Credit Agreement is shown in the table below:

MANAGEMENT OF MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company is exposedexposed to interest rate risk on its variable debt and price risk on its fixed-rate debt. At September 30, 2013,March 31, 2014, the Company’s exposureCompany was exposed to interest rate fluctuations on variable-interest borrowings was $675.3of $467.2 million, including $658.0$448.0 million notional valueamount of interest rate swap agreements (See Note 15,Derivatives, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) and $17.3$19.2 million in borrowings under international credit facilitiesthe Combined Facilities and other long-term debt. Including the effect of the fixed to floating interest rate swaps, approximately 81%88% of the Company’s outstanding term debt was comprised of fixed-rate debt as of September 30, 2013.March 31, 2014.

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 March 31, 2014 and 2013 by approximately $106.7 million and $102.6 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 businessbusiness 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 exchange spot and forward contracts to hedge the currency risk. As of September 30,March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the aggregate notional amount of outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts was approximately $524.9$394.2 million and $372.1 million, respectively (see Note 15,Derivatives, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). Net unrealized losses from these foreign exchange forward contracts were $22.8$0.9 million and $1.1 million at September 30, 2013.March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

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, 2013 by approximately $99.9 million.
