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’sour latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162018 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2017.27, 2019.

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. All revenue recognized in the NotesCondensed Statements of Operations is considered to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements relatesbe revenue from contracts with clients.

We recorded a net increase to opening retained earnings of $12.9 million as of January 1, 2018 due to the Company's continuing operations. Prior periods havecumulative impact of adopting Topic 606, with the impact primarily related to the timing of revenue recognition for certain inventory that had been recast to reflect the Company's current segment reporting structure. See Note 2, Discontinued Operations, for more information on the Separation.

Reverse Stock Split

Immediately following the Distribution on October 1, 2016, the Company affected a one-for-three reverse stock split for RRD common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on September 14, 2016 and previously approved by the Company’s stockholders at the annual meeting on May 19, 2016. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the number of issued and outstanding and treasury shares of the Company’s common stock was reduced proportionally based on the Reverse Stock Split ratio of one share for every three shares of common stock held before the Reverse Stock Split.billed but not yet shipped.

RevisionDisaggregation of Net Sales and Cost of SalesRevenue

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

Restructuring and Other

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded net restructuring charges of $0.6 million and $19.5 million, respectively, for employee termination costs. These charges primarily relate to the relocation of a printing facility in Shenzhen, China, other announced facility closures in the Business Services segment and the reorganization of selling, general and administrative functions across each segment. Other restructuring charges of $1.0 million and $13.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are primarily comprised of increased reserves for employee termination litigation, environmental matters and lease terminations. Additionally, we recorded net gains of $4.7 million and $4.6 million on the sale of restructured facilities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded net restructuring charges of $2.8 million and $11.2 million, respectively, for employee termination costs. These charges primarily related to the reorganization of selling, general and administrative functions across each segment and three facility closures in the Business Services segment. We also incurred charges for lease termination and other restructuring of $6.4 million and $11.5 million and multi-employer pension plan (“MEPP”) withdrawal obligations of $0.7 million and $2.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. Additionally, we recorded a $5.4 million net gain on the sale of previously impaired assets in the Business Services segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. These assets were impaired in 2015. We also recorded impairment charges related to facility closures of $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

The current portion of restructuring reserves of $17.8 million at September 30, 2019 was included in Accrued liabilities and other, while the Company recorded net restructuring chargeslong-term portion of $10.7$38.7 million, primarily related to MEPP withdrawal obligations, employee terminations in litigation, environmental matters and lease liabilities related to restructured facilities, was included in Other noncurrent liabilities at September 30, 2019. The liabilities for the withdrawal obligations associated with our decision to withdraw from all MEPPs included in Accrued liabilities and other and Other noncurrent liabilities are $6.6 million and $19.5$34.9 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2019.

We anticipate that payments associated with the employee terminations reflected in the above table will be substantially completed by September 2020, excluding employee terminations in litigation within the Business Services segment.

Payments on all of our MEPP 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 MEPP withdrawals.

The restructuring liabilities classified as “other” primarily consisted of reserves for employee termination costs. These charges primarily relate to the reorganization of selling, generallitigation, environmental matters and administrative functions primarily within the Corporate, International and Variable Print segments, the termination of the Company’s relationship in a joint venture within the International segment and a facility closure in the Strategic Services segment. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded net impairment charges of $21.5 million and $21.7 million, respectively, primarilylease liabilities related to the $21.3 million impairmentrestructured facilities. Any potential recoveries or additional charges could affect amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements.

7. Retirement Plans

Components of the goodwill for the digitalnet pension and creative solutionsother postretirement benefits plan (“DCS”OPEB”) reporting unit, which is included within the Strategic Services segment. The goodwill impairment charge in the DCS reporting unit was due to the notification from a major customer that they will be transitioning their business away from DCS beginning in the fourth quarter of 2017 as well as declines in sales with other existing customers which resulted in lower expectations of future revenues, profitability and cash flows compared to expectations as of the October 31, 2016 annual goodwill impairment test. As of September 30, 2017, the DCS reporting unit had no remaining goodwill. The goodwill impairment charges were determined using Level 3 inputs, including comparable marketplace fair value data and a discounted cash flow analysis. The remaining impairment charges recordedincome for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, were primarily due to the impairment of equipment associated with the facility closure in the Strategic Services segment. Additionally, the Company incurred lease termination2019 and other restructuring charges of $1.1 million and $3.8 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

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

Other Charges

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded other charges of $0.5 million and $1.7 million and $0.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively, for multi-employer pension plan withdrawal obligations unrelated to facility closures. The total liabilities for the withdrawal obligations associated with the Company’s decision to withdraw from multi-employer pension plans included in accrued liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities are $5.1 million and $32.4 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2017

The Company’s multi-employer pension plan withdrawal liabilities could be affected by the financial stability of other employers participating in the plans and any decisions by those employers to withdraw from the plans in the future. While it is not possible to quantify the potential impact of future events or circumstances, reductions in other employers’ participation in multi-employer pension plans, including certain plans from which the Company has previously withdrawn, could have a material impact on the Company’s previously estimated withdrawal liabilities, consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

The Company anticipates that payments associated withDuring the employee terminations reflectednine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we contributed $5.1 million and $13.5 million, respectively, to our retirement plans.

Other OPEB income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 reflects the change in one of our OPEB liabilities due to a revision to participant demographic data utilized in the above table will be substantially completed by September 2018.

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

The restructuring liabilities classified as “lease terminations and other” consisted of lease terminations, other facility closing costs and contract termination costs. Payments on certain of the lease obligations are scheduled to continue until 2020. Market conditions and the Company’s ability to sublease these properties could affect the ultimate charges related to the lease obligations. Any potential recoveries or additional charges could affect amounts reported in the Company’s financial statements.

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

In the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company communicated to certain former employees the option to receive a lump-sum pension payment or annuity with payments computed in accordance with statutory requirements, beginning in the second quarter of 2016.  Payments to eligible participants who elected to receive a lump-sum pension payment or annuity were funded from existing pension plan assets and liabilities were remeasured as of the payout date. The discount rates and actuarial assumptions used to calculate the payouts were determined in accordance with federal regulations. The company recorded total non-cash settlement charges of $1.6was $2.2 million and $98.0$6.4 million of which $0.3 million and $20.7 million is included within selling, general and administrative expenses and $1.3 million and $77.3 million is included within income from discontinued operations, net of tax in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016,2018, respectively. These charges resulted from

In March 2019, we awarded our annual share-based compensation grants, which consisted of 0.6 million restricted stock units with a grant date fair value of $4.77 per unit and 0.6 million performance share units also with a grant date fair value of $4.77 per unit. The restricted stock units are subject to a three year graded vesting period and the recognitionperformance share units are subject to a 34 month cliff vesting period. Dividends are not paid on restricted stock units.

In addition, in earningsMarch 2019 we granted 1.3 million cash-settled restricted stock units (“phantom restricted stock units”) and 0.4 million cash-settled performance stock units (“phantom performance stock units”). Our share price on the date of grant was $5.03. The phantom restricted stock units vest and are payable in three equal installments over a portionperiod of three years after the grant date. The phantom performance stock units are subject to a 34 month cliff vesting period. Phantom stock units are not shares of our common stock and therefore the recipients of these awards do not receive ownership interest in the Company or stockholder voting rights. Phantom stock unit awards are subject to forfeiture upon termination of employment prior to vesting, subject in some cases to early vesting upon specified events, including death or permanent disability of the actuarial losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss based on the proportiongrantee, termination of the obligation settled.  

Duringgrantee’s employment under certain circumstances or a change in control of the third quarterCompany. All phantom stock unit awards are classified as liability awards due to their expected settlement in cash, and are included in Accrued liabilities and other in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Compensation expense for these awards is measured based upon the fair value of 2016, the Company announcedawards at the discontinuationend of retiree medical, prescription drug and life insurance benefits for individuals retiringeach reporting period. Dividends are not paid on or after October 1, 2016.  This change was accounted for as a significant plan amendment and the other postemployment benefit plan obligations were remeasured as of September 30, 2016.  This remeasurement resulted in a curtailment gain of $16.4 million within cost of sales and $3.3 million in selling, general and administrative expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.  phantom stock units.

On October 1, 2016, we completed the separation of LSC Communications, Inc. and Donnelley Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Spin Companies”) into two separate publicly-traded companies. The distribution of the Spin Companies was recorded as a reduction in Stockholder's Equity during the fourth quarter of 2016. During the second quarter of 2019, we identified an error in the accounting for the distribution of the Spin Companies. As a result, the error, which was determined by management to be immaterial to the previously issued Consolidated Financial Statements, has been corrected herein by increasing Accumulated Deficit by $12.0 million.

Stockholder Rights Plan

On August 28, 2019, our Board of Directors approved a Stockholder Rights Agreement (the “Rights Agreement”). Under the terms of the Rights Agreement, each share of our common stock is accompanied by one right; each right entitles the stockholder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a newly issued share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $12, subject to adjustment. 

Subject to certain exceptions, the rights become exercisable 10 business days following a public announcement that a person (the “Acquiring Person”) has acquired beneficial ownership of 10% (or 20% in certain circumstances ) or more of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the “Stock Acquisition Date”). The rights will expire on August 28, 2020, unless redeemed, exchanged or terminated earlier by the Company. At any time until 10 business days following the Stock Acquisition Date, the Company may redeem the rights for $0.001 per right. 

In the event a person becomes an Acquiring Person, each holder of a right, other than the Acquiring Person, will have the right to receive common stock (or, in certain circumstances, cash, property or other securities of the Company) having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the right.

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

In the event that we are acquired in a merger or other business combination as defined in the Rights Agreement, or 50% or more of our assets or earnings power is sold, each right entitles the holders to purchase common stock of the acquiring company having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the right.  

At any time after a person becomes an Acquiring Person and prior to the acquisition by any person or group of 50% or more of the outstanding common stock, the Board of Directors may exchange the rights (other than rights owned by such person or group which have become void), in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio of one share of common stock, or one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Preferred Stock (or of a share of a class or series of the Company’s preferred stock having equivalent rights, preferences and privileges), per right, subject to adjustment. 

Our equity as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

In March 2017, the Company awarded its annual share-based compensation grants, which consisted of 569,594 restricted stock units with a grant date fair value of $16.30 per unitSeptember 30, 2018, and 304,425 performance share units with a grant date fair value of $16.30 per unit. The restricted stock units are subject to achanges during three year graded vesting period. The performance share units are subject to a 34 month cliff vesting period.

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

 

11.10. Earnings per Share

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

During the nine months ended September 30, 20172019 and 2016,2018, no shares of common stock were purchased by the Company;us; however, shares were withheld for tax liabilities upon the vesting of equity awards.

14.13. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company isWe are subject to laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. The Company providesWe provide 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 hasWe have been designated as a potentially responsible party or hashave received claims in threetwo active federal and state Superfund and other multiparty remediation sites. In addition to these sites, the Companywe may also have the obligation to remediate sevensix other previously and currently owned facilities. At the Superfund sites, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act provides that the Company’sour liability could be joint and several, meaning that the Companywe could be required to pay an amount in excess of itsour proportionate share of the remediation costs.

The Company’sOur 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’sour estimated liability. The Company establishedWe believe that our recorded reserves, recorded in accruedAccrued liabilities and other and Other noncurrent liabilities, that it believes are adequate to cover itsour 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 Companywe may undertake in the future. However, in theour 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’sour consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

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

In April 2019, we received a subpoena from the SEC related to previous business dealings with the Brazilian Ministry of Education. The SEC and Department of Justice (“DOJ”) are investigating the matter, and we are cooperating as they conduct their investigations. In addition, the DOJ has informed us that the Brazil authorities are also investigating the matter.

Operating lease assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the senior noteslease term and debentures, which were determined usinglease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the market approachlease. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based upon interest rates available toon the Company for borrowings with similar terms and maturities, were determined to be Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy. The fairpresent value of lease payments over the Company’s debt was greater than its booklease term. In determining the present value of lease payments, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date. Operating lease assets also include any lease payments made and are reduced by approximately $38.9 million and $4.3 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.any lease incentives received. Our lease terms may include options to extend or not terminate the lease when we are reasonably certain that we will exercise any such options. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term.

On September 29, 2017, the Company entered into an asset-based revolving credit facility pursuant to the second amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) which amended and restated the Company’s $800.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility dated September 30, 2016. The Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility of up to $800.0 million subject to a borrowing base. The amount available to be borrowed under the Credit Agreement is equal to the lesser of (a) $800.0 million and (b) the aggregate amount of accounts receivable, inventory, machinery and equipment and fee-ownedOur most significant leases are real estate of the Companyleases for plants, warehouses, storage facilities, offices and certain of its domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”) (collectively, the “Borrowing Base”), subject to certain eligibility criteria and advance rates. The aggregate amount ofother facilities. For real estate machineryleases, we elected the practical expedient permitted under Topic 842 to combine lease and equipment that can be included in the Borrowing Base cannot exceed $200.0 million. non-lease components. As a result, non-lease components, such as common area maintenance charges, are accounted for as a single lease element.

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

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

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

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

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

Interest income was $0.8$26.3 million and $2.3$83.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and $1.9 million and $3.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.  

16. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective2018, respectively. Sublease rental income tax rate was 31.0% and 38.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively and (63.2%) and 80.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 reflects the impact2018 was not significant.

As of the disposition of the Donnelley Financial and LSC retained shares. The retained shares of Donnelley FinancialDecember 31, 2018, future minimum rental commitments under operating leases were disposed in non-taxable debt-for-equity exchanges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. See Note 15, Debt, for additional details regarding the dispositions of the Donnelley Financial retained shares of common stock. The sale of LSC shares generated a capital loss which will be carried forward; however, it is more likely than not that the benefit of such deferred tax asset will not be realized and a valuation allowance was recorded. See Note 2, Discontinued Operations, for additional information regarding the sale of the LSC retained shares. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2017 reflects the impact of the impairment of goodwill in the DCS reporting unit and the inability to recognize a tax benefit on certain losses. The effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 reflects the impact of income generated in higher taxing jurisdictions and the inability to recognize a tax benefit on certain losses.as follows:

Includes miscellaneous debt obligations.

The fair values of the senior notes and debentures, which were determined using the market approach based upon interest rates available to us for borrowings with similar terms and maturities, were determined to be Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of our total debt was higher than its book value by approximately $10.1 million and less than its book value by approximately $14.4 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we repurchased on the open market $23.4 million and $20.7 million in aggregate principal amount of the 7.875% senior notes due 2021 and 8.875% debentures due 2021, respectively. We recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $0.8 million in the third quarter of 2019 on the repurchase of the bonds.

On February 1, 2019, we retired the $172.2 million 11.25% senior notes using availability under our asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Credit Agreement”).

On October 15, 2018, we entered into a $550.0 million senior secured Term Loan B credit facility pursuant to a credit agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”). Proceeds from the Term Loan Credit Agreement, net of a $5.5 million discount, were used to repurchase certain senior notes, pay transaction fees and repay a portion of borrowings under the ABL Credit Agreement.

Our obligations under the Term Loan Credit Agreement are guaranteed by our material domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”) and are secured by a security interest in substantially all assets of ours and the Guarantors, including certain material real property, subject to certain exceptions and exclusions. The ABL Priority Collateral (as defined below) secures our obligations and the obligations of the Guarantors under the Term Loan Credit Agreement and related guarantees on a second-priority basis, and all other collateral other than the ABL Priority Collateral secures our obligations and the obligations of the Guarantors under the Term Loan Credit Agreement and related guarantees on a first-priority basis, in each case, subject to permitted liens.

The Term Loan Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants including negative covenants restricting, among other things, our ability to incur debt, make investments, make certain restricted payments (including payments on certain other debt and external dividends), incur liens securing other debt, consummate certain fundamental transactions, enter into transactions with affiliates and consummate asset sales. The Term Loan Credit Agreement requires that the net cash proceeds of significant asset sales be used to prepay borrowings under the Term Loan Credit Agreement, except in certain circumstances, including the reinvestment of net cash proceeds in assets useful to our business, repayment of borrowings under our ABL Credit Agreement or the funding of debt tenders, in each case, subject to certain restrictions and limitations set forth in the Term Loan Credit Agreement.

The Term Loan Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature on January 15, 2024, at which time all amounts outstanding under the Term Loan Credit Agreement will be due and payable. Principal payments of $1.4 million are due quarterly. Borrowings will bear interest at a Eurocurrency rate plus a margin of 5% or a base rate plus a margin of 4%.

On October 15, 2018, we repurchased $172.6 million and $257.4 million in aggregate principal amount of the 7.625% senior notes due 2020 and 7.875% senior notes due 2021, respectively, pursuant to a tender offer. We recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $32.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 on the repurchase of the bonds, representing tender premiums paid of $29.0 million, write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs of $1.5 million and fees and expenses of $1.8 million.

On September 29, 2017, we entered into the ABL Credit Agreement which amended and restated our prior $800.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility dated September 30, 2016. The ABL Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility of up to $800.0 million. The amount available to be borrowed under the ABL Credit Agreement is equal to the lesser of (a) $800.0 million and (b) a borrowing base formula based on the amount of accounts receivable, inventory, machinery, equipment and, if we were to so elect in the future subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, fee-owned real estate of ours and the Guarantors, subject to certain eligibility criteria and advance rates (collectively, the “Borrowing Base”). The aggregate amount of real estate, machinery and equipment that can be included in the Borrowing Base cannot exceed $200.0 million.

On October 15, 2018, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to the ABL Credit Agreement, which amended the ABL Credit Agreement to, among other things, permit (i) the incurrence of the debt pursuant to the Term Loan Credit Agreement and (ii) the incurrence of a lien on the ABL Priority Collateral to secure our obligations under the Term Loan Credit Agreement and related guarantees on a second-priority basis.

Our obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Guarantors and are secured by a security interest in substantially all assets of ours and the Guarantors, including, only to the extent included in the Borrowing Base, real property, in each case subject to certain exceptions and exclusions. The assets of ours and the Guarantors consisting of accounts receivable, inventory, deposit accounts, securities accounts, machinery and equipment and, to the extent related to the foregoing, general intangibles, documents and instruments, as well as 65% of the equity interests of our first-tier foreign subsidiaries (collectively, the “ABL Priority Collateral”), secure our obligations and the obligations of the Guarantors under the ABL Credit Agreement and the related guarantees on a first-priority basis, and all other collateral other than the ABL Priority Collateral secures our obligations and the obligations of the Guarantors under the ABL Credit Agreement on a second-priority basis, in each case, subject to permitted liens.

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

Borrowings under the ABL Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate dependent on the average quarterly availability under the ABL Credit Agreement and is calculated according to a base rate (except in certain circumstances, based on the prime rate) or a Eurocurrency rate (except in certain circumstances, based on London Inter-bank Offered Rate or “LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for base rate loans ranges from 0.25% to 0.50% and the applicable margin for Eurocurrency loans ranges from 1.25% to 1.50%. In addition, a fee is payable quarterly on the unused portion of the amount available to be borrowed under the ABL Credit Agreement. The fee accrues at a rate of either 0.25% or 0.375% depending upon the average usage of the facility.

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

Based on our borrowing base as of September 30, 2019 and existing borrowings, we had approximately $438.6 million borrowing capacity available under the ABL Credit Agreement.

The weighted average interest rate on borrowings under our current facility was 3.7% and 3.4% during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Interest paid, net of interest capitalized, was $27.0 million and $112.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and $38.2 million and $120.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

Interest income was $0.6 million and $2.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and $0.8 million and $2.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.   

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 the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, or in other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable income taxes, or in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, depending on the purpose for which the derivative is held. For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the unrealized gain or loss related to the derivatives are generally recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) until the transaction affects earnings. For derivatives designated and that qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative, as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not meet the criteria for designation as a hedge at inception, or fail to meet the criteria thereafter, are recognized currently in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. At the inception of a hedge transaction, the Companywe formally documentsdocument the hedge relationship and the risk management objective for undertaking the hedge. In addition, the Company assesseswe assess 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 isWe are exposed to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations in certain countries in which it operates.based on our global operations. The exposure to foreign currency movements within many countries is limited in many countries because the operating revenues and expenses of itsour various subsidiaries and business units are substantially in the local currency of the country in which they operate. To the extent borrowings, sales, purchases, revenues, expenses or other transactions are not in the local currency of the subsidiary or operating unit, the Company iswe are exposed to currency risk. Periodically, the Company useswe use foreign exchange spot forward and swapforward contracts to hedge exposures resulting from foreign exchange fluctuations. Accordingly,To the extent the gains and losses associated with the fair values of foreign currency exchange contracts are recognized currently in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, andthey are generally offset by gains and losses on underlying payables, receivables borrowings and net investments in foreign subsidiaries. The Company doesWe do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The aggregate notional value of the foreign currencyforward contracts at September 30, 20172019 and December 31, 20162018 was $136.7$144.4 million and $172.2$170.8 million, respectively. The fair values of foreign currency contracts were determined to be Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy and are valued using market exchange rates.

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

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

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

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

19. New Accounting Pronouncements

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

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

The guidance indicates that either accounting for deferred taxes related to GILTI inclusions or treating any taxes on GILTI inclusions as period costs are both acceptable methods subject to an accounting policy election.

Based upon preliminary resultsIn February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)” which requires lessees to record most leases on the balance sheet. Topic 842 was effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The new standard requires a lessee to recognize a right-of use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months and requires additional disclosures. For lessors, Topic 842 also modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-01 “Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842”; ASU No. 2018-10 “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases”; ASU No. 2018-11 “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements” (“ASU 2018-11”); ASU No. 2018-20 “Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors”; and ASU No. 2019-01 “Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements”. ASU 2018-11 provides clarity on separating components of management’s evaluation,a lease contract and includes an option to not restate comparative periods in transition and elect to use the most impactful aspectseffective date of Topic 842 as the date of initial application. 

We adopted the guidance as of January 1, 2019 using the effective date as the date of initial application. Results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are presented under Topic 842. Information prior to the effective date continues to be presented in accordance with the previous lease guidance, “Leases (Topic 840)”.

Spinoff Transactions

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

The financial results of Donnelley Financial and LSC for periods prior to the Distribution have been reflected within the disclosures of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations as discontinued operations. Additionally, sales from RRD to Donnelley Financial and LSC previously eliminated in consolidation have been recast and are now shown as external sales of RRD within the financial results of continuing operations.

See Note 1, Basis of Presentation, and Note 2, Discontinued Operations, to these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Reverse Stock Split

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

OUTLOOK

Competitive Environment

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

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

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

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

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

Seasonality

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


Raw Materials

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

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

Distribution

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

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

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

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

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

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


Goodwill Impairment Assessment

We perform our goodwill impairment tests annually as of October 31, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. As part of itsour interim review for indicators of impairment, managementwe analyzed potential changes in the value of individual reporting units with goodwill based on each reporting unit’s operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 20172019 compared to expected results. In addition, managementwe 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.

ManagementWe considered trends in these factors when performing itsour assessment of whether an interim impairment review was required for any reporting unit. During the third quarter of 2017, the Company recognized a non-cash charge of $21.3 million for the impairment of goodwill in the digital and creative solutions reporting unit which is included within the Strategic Services segment. The goodwill impairment charge in the digital and creative solutions reporting unit was due to the notification from a major customerBased on this interim assessment, we concluded that they will be transitioning their business away from digital and creative solutions beginning in the fourth quarter of 2017, as well as declines in sales with other existing customers which resulted in lower expectations of future revenues, profitability and cash flows as compared to the expectations as of the October 31, 2016 annual goodwill impairment test. As of September 30, 2017, the digital and creative solutions reporting unit had no remaining goodwill. Based on the September 30, 2017 interim assessment, management concluded that other than the goodwill impairment recognized in the digital and creative solutions reporting unit,2019, no events or changes in circumstances indicated that it was more likely than not that the fair value for any reporting unit had declined below its carrying value. Nevertheless, significant changes in economic and market conditions could result in changes to expectations of future financial results and key valuation assumptions. Such changes could result in revisions of management’sour estimates of the fair value of the Company’sour reporting units and could result in a material impairment of goodwill in a future interim period or as of October 31, 2017, the Company’s2019, our next annual measurement date.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans

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

Income taxes

2019. Continued negative trends could impact the estimated fair value of this reporting unit and could result in a future impairment charge. As of Decemberthe October 31, 20162018 annual goodwill impairment test, the Company hadfair value of this reporting unit exceeded its book value by approximately $70.029%. As of September 30, 2019, $151.8 million of U.S. deferred tax assets which atgoodwill was allocated to this time, we believe is more likely than not that we will realize these deferred tax assets. However, in the next twelve months we may be required to establish a valuation allowance to reduce the carrying value of certain U.S. deferred tax assets.

MANAGEMENT OF MARKET RISK

The Company isWe are exposed to interest rate risk on itsour variable debt and price risk on itsour fixed-rate debt. At September 30, 2017, the Company’s2019, our variable-interest borrowings were $367.6$798.3 million. Approximately 83.8%61.0% of the Company’sour outstanding debt was comprised of fixed-rate debt as of September 30, 2017.2019.

The Company assessesWe assess 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, 20172019 and December 31, 20162018 by approximately $50.2$28.2 million and $69.6$35.4 million, respectively.

The Company isWe are exposed to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations in certain countries in which it operates.based on our global operations. The exposure to foreign currency movements within many countries is limited in many countries because the operating revenues and expenses of itsour various subsidiaries and business units are substantially in the local currency of the country in which they operate. To the extent that borrowings, sales, purchases, revenues, expenses or other transactions are not in the local currency of the subsidiary, the Company iswe are exposed to currency risk and may enter into foreign currencyexchange contracts to hedge the currency risk. As of September 30, 20172019 and December 31, 2016,2018, the aggregate notional amount of outstanding foreign currency contracts was approximately $136.7$144.4 million and $172.2$170.8 million, respectively (see Note 17,15, Derivatives, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). Net unrealized (losses) gains from these foreign currency contracts were $0.5losses of $2.8 million at September 30, 20172019 and $0.2gains of $0.6 million at December 31, 2016. The Company does2018.
