The Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended, was declared effective by the SEC on June 13, 2017. On June 21, 2017, RRD completed the sale of approximately 6.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock in an underwritten public offering. Upon the consummation of the offering, RRD retained approximately 0.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock which were subsequently sold by RRD on August 1, 2017. In conjunction with the underwritten public offering, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase approximately 0.9 million of the Company’s shares (the “Option Shares”). The Company received approximately $18.8 million in net proceeds from the sale of the Option Shares, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions. The proceeds were used to reduce outstanding debt under the Revolving Facility (as defined in Note 11, Debt). Beginning in the quarter ended September 30, 2017, RRD no longer qualified as a related party, therefore amounts disclosed related to RRD are presented through June 30, 2017 only.  

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated and combined financial statements reflect the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations of the Company as an independent, publicly traded company for the periods after the Separation and the combined financial position and combined results of operations for the periods prior to the Separation. Prior to the Separation, the combined financial statements were prepared on a stand-alone basis and were derived from RRD’s consolidated financial statements and accounting records.

The unaudited condensed consolidated and combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The financial data presented herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated and combined financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’sCompany's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2017.Report.

Actual results could differ from these estimates.

For periods prior to the Separation, the unaudited condensed consolidated The Company’s significant accounting policies and combined financial statements include the allocation of certain assets and liabilities that were historically held at the RRD corporate level but which were specifically identifiable or attributable to the Company.  Cash and cash equivalents held by RRD were not allocated to Donnelley Financial unless they were held in a legal entity that was transferred to Donnelley Financial. All intercompany transactions and accounts within Donnelley Financial have been eliminated. All intracompany transactions between RRD and Donnelley Financialcritical accounting estimates are considered to be effectively settleddisclosed in the unaudited condensed consolidated and combined financial statements at the time the transaction is recorded. The total net effect of the settlement of these intracompany transactions is reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated and combined statements of cash flows as a financing activity and in the unaudited condensed consolidated and combined balance sheets as net parent company investment. Net parent company investment is primarily impacted by contributions from RRD which are the result of treasury activities and net funding provided by or distributed to RRD.  Annual Report.

Prior to the Separation, the unaudited condensed consolidated and combined financial statements include certain expenses of RRD which were allocated to Donnelley Financial for certain functions, including general corporate expenses related to information technology, finance, legal, human resources, internal audit, treasury, tax, investor relations and executive oversight.  These expenses were allocated to the Company on the basis of direct usage, when available, with the remainder allocated on the pro rata basis of revenue, employee headcount, or other measures. We consider the expense methodology and results to be reasonable for all periods presented.  However these allocations may not be indicative of the actual expenses that would have been incurred as an independent public company or the costs that may be incurred in the future.

For periods prior to the Separation, the income tax amounts in the unaudited condensed consolidated and combined financial statements were calculated based on a separate income tax return methodology and presented as if the Company’s operations were separate taxpayers in the respective jurisdictions.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2021-08, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers," which requires that an entity recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as follows:if it had originated the contracts, rather than at fair value. The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company adopted the standard prospectively on January 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 2. Revenue

Revenue Recognition

The Company manages highly-customized data and materials to enable filings with the SEC on behalf of its customers as well as performs eXtensible Business Reporting Language (“XBRL”) and other services. Clients are provided with EDGAR filing services, XBRL compliance services and translation, editing, interpreting, proof-reading and multilingual typesetting services, among other services. The Company provides software solutions to public and private companies, mutual funds and other regulated investment firms to serve their regulatory and compliance needs, including Venue, Arc Suite, ActiveDisclosure, among others, and provides digital document creation, online content management and print and distribution solutions.

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

Unbilled Receivables and Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers and these timing differences result in contract assets, unbilled receivables or contract liabilities. Contract assets represent revenue recognized for performance obligations completed before an unconditional right to payment exists and therefore invoicing has not yet occurred. The Company generally estimates contract assets based on the historical selling price adjusted for its current experience and expected resolution of the variable consideration of the completed performance obligation. When the Company's contracts contain variable consideration, the variable consideration is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur in a future period. As a result, the estimated revenue and contract assets may be constrained until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved, which generally occurs in less than one year. Determining whether there will be a significant revenue reversal in the future and the determination of the amount of the constraint requires significant judgment.

Contract assets were $38.9 million and $20.1 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Generally, the contract assets balance is impacted by the recognition of additional revenue, amounts invoiced to customers and changes in the level of constraint applied to variable consideration. Amounts recognized as revenue exceeded the estimates for performance obligations satisfied in previous periods by approximately $11.7 million and $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, primarily due to changes in the Company’s estimate of variable consideration and the application of the constraint.

Unbilled receivables are recorded when there is an unconditional right to payment and invoicing has not yet occurred. The Company estimates the value of unbilled receivables based on a combination of historical customer selling price and management’s assessment of realizable selling price. Unbilled receivables were $52.2 million and $33.2 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Unbilled receivables and contract assets are included in receivables, less allowances for expected losses on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Most of the Company's contracts with significant remaining performance obligations have an initial expected duration of one year or less. As of March 31, 2023, the future estimated revenue related to unsatisfied or partially satisfied performance obligations under contracts with an original contractual term in excess of one year was approximately $120.1 million, of which approximately 46% is expected to be recognized as revenue over the succeeding twelve months, and the remainder recognized thereafter.

Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue and progress billings which are included in accrued liabilities on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company recognized $17.7 million and $16.1 million of revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, that was included in the deferred revenue balances at the beginning of the respective periods. Changes in contract liabilities were as follows:

Donnelley Financial Solutions, Inc.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements

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

The Company anticipates that payments associated with the employee terminations reflected in the above table will be substantially completed by March 31, 2018.

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 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 Company’s financial statements.

Note 6. Retirement Plans

Donnelley Financial’s Participation in RRD’s Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans

RRD provided pension and other postretirement healthcare benefits to certain current and former employees of Donnelley Financial.  Prior to the Separation, RRD was responsible for the net benefit plan obligations associated with these plans, and as such, these liabilities are not reflected in Donnelley Financial’s unaudited condensed consolidated and combined balance sheets.

Donnelley Financial’s unaudited condensed consolidated and combined statements of operations include expense allocations for these benefits. These allocations were funded through intercompany transactions with RRD which are reflected within net parent company investment in Donnelley Financial. Total RRD pension and postretirement benefit plan net income allocated to Donnelley Financial, related to pension cost and postretirement benefits, was $1.3 million and $4.2 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. Included in these amounts is an allocation for other postretirement benefit plans for $0.3 million and $1.0 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.  These allocations are reflected in the Company’s cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses.  

Donnelley Financial’s Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans

On October 1, 2016, Donnelley Financial recorded net pension plan liabilities of $68.3 million (consisting of a total benefit plan liability of $317.0 million, net of plan assets having fair market value of $248.7 million), as a result of the transfer of certain pension plan liabilities and assets from RRD to the Company upon the legal split of those plans. The pension plan asset allocation from RRD was finalized on June 30, 2017, which resulted in a $0.7 million decrease to the fair value of plan assets transferred to the Company from RRD. The Company also recorded a net other postretirement benefit liability of $1.5 million, as a result of the transfer of an other postretirement benefit plan from RRD to the Company.

The components of the estimated net pension plan income for Donnelley Financial’s pension plans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 and 20162022 were as follows:

Note 8. Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings 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 restricted stock units and restricted stock.

On October 1, 2016, RRD distributed approximately 26.2 million shares of Donnelley Financial common stock to RRD shareholders in connection with the spin-off of Donnelley Financial, with RRD retaining approximately 6.2 million shares of Donnelley Financial common stock. Holders of RRD common stock received one share of Donnelley Financial for every eight shares of RRD common stock held on September 23, 2016. Basic and diluted earnings per common share and the average number of common shares outstanding were retrospectively restated for the number of Donnelley Financial shares outstanding immediately following this transaction. For periods prior to the Separation, basic and diluted earnings per share were calculated using the number of shares distributed and retained by RRD, totaling 32.4 million. The same number of shares was used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share since there were no Donnelley Financial equity awards outstanding prior to the spin-off.

Donnelley Financial Solutions, Inc.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements

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

On June 21, 2017, RRD completed the sale of approximately 6.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock in an underwritten public offering. Upon consummation of the offering, RRD retained approximately 0.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock which were subsequently sold by RRD on August 1, 2017. Refer to Note 1, Overview and Basis of Presentation, for further details.

As a result of the Company adopting Accounting Standards Update 2016-09 “Compensation–Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” beginning in the first quarter of 2017, excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies are excluded from the calculation of assumed proceeds when using the treasury stock method in calculating diluted earnings per share.

Note 11. Debt

On September 30, 2016, in connection with the Separation, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, the lenders party thereto from time to time and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The Credit Agreement provides for (i) a new senior secured term loan B facility in an aggregate principal amount of $350.0 million (the “Term Loan Credit Facility”) and (ii) a new first lien senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million (the “Revolving Facility”, and, together with the Term Loan Credit Facility, the “Credit Facilities”). The Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants, including a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio and a maximum Leverage Ratio, as defined in 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. The Credit Agreement generally allows annual dividend payments of up to $15.0 million in the aggregate. As of September 30, 2017, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility.

Borrowings under the Term Loan Credit Facility were used to provide $340.2 million of cash to RRD, pursuant to the Separation Agreement, as of September 30, 2016. The remainder of the net proceeds was used for general corporate purposes.

Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the Company received a cash payment of $68.0 million from RRD on April 3, 2017. The proceeds were used to reduce outstanding debt under the Term Loan Credit Facility.

On June 21, 2017, RRD completed the sale of approximately 6.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock in an underwritten public offering. Upon the consummation of the offering, RRD retained approximately 0.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock of the offering which were subsequently sold by RRD on August 1, 2017. In conjunction with the underwritten public offering, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase approximately 0.9 million Option Shares. The Company received approximately $18.8 million in net proceeds from the sale of the Option Shares, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions. The proceeds were used to reduce outstanding debt under the Revolving Facility.

On October 2, 2017, the Company repriced the Term Loan Credit Facility. As a result, the interest rate was reduced by 100 basis points to LIBOR plus 3.0% and the LIBOR floor was reduced by 25 basis points to .75%. Additionally, under the amended Credit Agreement, principal payments are due on a quarterly basis. Other terms, including the outstanding principal, maturity date, and debt covenants such as the minimum Interest Coverage Ratio and the maximum Leverage Ratio are consistent with the original Credit Agreement.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements

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

On September 30, 2016, also in connection with the Separation, the Company issued $300.0 million of 8.25% senior unsecured notes due October 15, 2024 (the “Notes”). Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15, commencing on April 15, 2017. The issuance of the Notes was part of a debt exchange that resulted in the settlement of certain of RRD's bonds.The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture where certain wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries of the Company guarantee the Notes (the “Guarantors”).  The Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed, on an unsecured basis, by the Guarantors, which are comprised of each of the Company’s existing and future direct and indirect wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries that guarantee the Company’s obligations under the Credit Facilities. The Notes are not guaranteed by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries or unrestricted subsidiaries. The Notes and the related guarantees will be the Company and the Guarantors’, respective, senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally in right of payment to all present and future senior debt, including the obligations under the Company’s Credit Facilities, senior in right of payment to all present and future subordinated debt, and effectively subordinated in right of payment to any of the Company and the Guarantors’ secured debt, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. The indenture governing the Notes contains certain covenants applicable to the Company and its restricted subsidiaries, including limitations on: (1) liens; (2) indebtedness; (3) mergers, consolidations and acquisitions; (4) sales, transfers and other dispositions of assets; (5) loans and other investments; (6) dividends and other distributions, stock repurchases and redemptions and other restricted payments; (7) restrictions affecting subsidiaries; (8) transactions with affiliates; and (9) designations of unrestricted subsidiaries. Each of these covenants is subject to important exceptions and qualifications.

In connection with the offering of the Notes, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement, dated as of September 30, 2016 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC with respect to an offer to exchange the Notes for registered notes. In certain circumstances, the Company may be required to file a shelf registration statement with the SEC registering the resale of the Notes by the holders thereof, in lieu of an exchange offer to such holders. On March 10, 2017, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (as amended, the “Exchange Offer Registration Statement”) to offer to exchange the Notes for registered notes which have terms identical in all material respects to the Notes except that the registered notes are not subject to transfer restrictions or registration rights. The Exchange Offer Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on March 22, 2017. An exchange offer for the Notes was launched on March 22, 2017 and settled on April 25, 2017, resulting in the exchange of $299.9 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes for registered notes.

The Company’s debt as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 consisted of the following:

The fair value of the senior notes, which was determined using the market approach based upon interest rates available to the Company for borrowings with similar terms and maturities, were determined to be Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Company’s senior notes was $322.2 million and $307.1 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

The weighted average interest rate on borrowings under the Revolving Facility was 4.4% at September 30, 2017.

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

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, the 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 and combined results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Note 9. Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings 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 ("RSUs"), performance share units ("PSUs") and restricted stock.

The reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted earnings per share calculation and the anti-dilutive share-based awards for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were as follows:

Prior to the Separation, Donnelley Financial employees participated in pensioncertain executive officers and other postretirement plans sponsored by RRD.  These costs are reflected in the Company’s costsenior management, 265 thousand of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated and combined statements of operations.  These costs were funded through intercompany transactions with RRD which are reflected within the net parent company investment.

On October 1, 2016, Donnelley Financial recorded net pension plan liabilities of $68.3 million (consisting of a total benefit plan liability of $317.0 million, net of plan assets having fair market value of $248.7 million), as a result of the transfer of certain pension plan liabilities and assets from RRD to the Company upon the legal split of those plans. The pension plan asset allocation from RRD was finalized on June 30, 2017, which resulted in a $0.7 million decrease to the fair value of plan assets transferred to the Company from RRD. Refer to Note 6, Retirement Plans, for further details regarding the Company’s pension and other postretirement benefit plans.

Centralized Cash Management Prior to Separation

RRD used a centralized approach to cash management and financing of operations.  Prior to the Separation, the majority of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries were party to RRD’s international cash pooling arrangements to maximize the availability of cash for general operating and investing purposes.  As part of RRD’s centralized cash management process, cash balances were swept regularly from the Company’s accounts.  Cash transfers to and from RRD’s cash concentration accounts and the resulting balances at the end of each reporting period prior to the Separation are reflected in net parent company investment in the consolidated balance sheet.  

Debt

RRD’s third party debt and related interest expense have not been allocated to the Company for any of the periods presented as the Company was not the legal obligor of the debt and the borrowings were not directly related to the Company’s business.

Note 14. New Accounting Pronouncements  

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)2023 performance grant and 147 thousand of which related to additional shares issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-07 “Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost” (“ASU 2017-07”), which requires an employer to report the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the same line item(s) as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. The other componentsthree months ended March 31, 2023 due to the achievement of net periodic benefit cost will be presented in the income statement separately from the line item(s) that includes the service cost and outside of any subtotal of operating income. ASU 2017-07 must be applied retrospectively and is effective in the first quarter of 2018. Early adoption is permitted; however the Company plans to adopt the standard in the first quarter of 2018. Refer to Note 6, Retirement Plans, for disclosure of pension incomecertain targets for the nineyear ended December 31, 2022. The total potential payout for 2023 awards granted during the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 is payable upon the achievement of certain established performance targets and 2016which would be reclassifiedranges from zero to other income upon adoption of the standard.530 thousand shares.

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04 “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (“ASU 2017-04”), which simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment. ASU 2017-04 requires entities to record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value (Step 1 under the current impairment test). The standard eliminates Step 2 from the current goodwill impairment test, which included determining the implied fair value of goodwill and comparing it with the carrying amount of that goodwill. ASU 2017-04 must be applied prospectively and is effective in the first quarter of 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted the standard in the first quarter of 2017.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires lessees to put most leases on the balance sheet but recognize expense on the income statement in a manner similar to current accounting. For lessors, ASU 2016-02 also modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. The standard requires a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements and is effective in the first quarter of 2019. Early adoption of ASU 2016-02 is permitted; however the Company plans to adopt the standard in the first quarter of 2019. The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02.

The Company’s services offerings consist of all non-print offerings, including document composition, compliance related EDGAR filing services, transaction solutions, data and analytics, content storage services and language solutions. The Company’s product offerings primarily consist of conventional and digital printed products and related distribution costs.

Spin-off Transaction

On October 1, 2016, Donnelley Financial became an independent publicly traded company through the distribution by RRD of approximately 26.2 million shares, or 80.75%, of Donnelley Financial common stock to RRD shareholders (the “Separation”). Holders of RRD common stock received one share of Donnelley Financial common stock for every eight shares of RRD common stock held on September 23, 2016. RRD retained approximately 6.2 million shares of Donnelley Financial common stock, or a 19.25% interest (as of the Separation date) in Donnelley Financial, as part of the Separation.

Donnelley Financial’s common stock began regular-way trading under the ticker symbol “DFIN” on the New York Stock Exchange on October 3, 2016. On October 1, 2016, RRD also completed the previously announced separation of LSC Communications, Inc. (“LSC”), its publishing and retail-centric print services and office products business. On March 28, 2017, RRD completed the sale of 6.2 million shares of LSC common stock (RRD’s remaining ownership stake in LSC) in an underwritten public offering. As a result, beginning in the quarter ended June 30, 2017, LSC is no longer an affiliate of the Company.  


On March 24, 2017, pursuant to the Stockholder and Registration Rights Agreement, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 to register the offering and sale of the Company’s common stock retained by RRD. The Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended, was declared effective by the SEC on June 13, 2017. On June 21, 2017, RRD completed the sale of approximately 6.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock in an underwritten public offering. RRD retained approximately 0.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock upon consummation of the offering which were subsequently sold by RRD on August 1, 2017. In conjunction with the underwritten public offering, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase approximately 0.9 million of the Company’s shares (the “Option Shares”). The Company received approximately $18.8 million in net proceeds from the sale of the Option Shares, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions. The proceeds were used to reduce outstanding debt under the Revolving Facility (as defined in Liquidity and Capital Resources).

Beginning in the quarter ended September 30, 2017, RRD no longer qualified as a related party, therefore amounts disclosed related to RRD are presented through June 30, 2017 only.

Executive Overview

Third Quarter Overview

Net sales decreased by $1.8 million, or 0.8%, for the third quarter of 2017 compared to the same period in the prior year. There was a $0.3 million, or 0.1%, increase due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Net sales decreased primarily due to lower volumes in capital markets transactions, partially offset by higher volumes in mutual fund print and print-related services and capital markets compliance.

Non-GAAP Measures

The Company believes that certain Non-GAAP measures, such as Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, provide useful information about the Company’s operating results and enhance the overall ability to assess the Company’s financial performance.  The Company uses these measures, together with other measures of performance under GAAP, to compare the relative performance of operations in planning, budgeting and reviewing the performance of its business.  Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA allows investors to make a more meaningful comparison between the Company’s core business operating results over different periods of time.  The Company believes that Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, when viewed with the Company’s results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations, provides useful information about the Company’s business without regard to potential distortions. By eliminating potential differences in results of operations between periods caused by factors such as depreciation and amortization methods, historic cost and age of assets, financing and capital structures, taxation positions or regimes, restructuring, impairment and other charges and gain or loss on certain equity investments and asset sales, the Company believes that Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful additional basis for comparing the current performance of the underlying operations being evaluated.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is not presented in accordance with GAAP and has important limitations as an analytical tool. These measures should not be considered as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. In addition, these measures are defined differently by different companies in our industry and, accordingly, such measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies.

In addition to the factors listed above, the following items are excluded from Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA:

Share-based compensation expense. Although share-based compensation is a key incentive offered to certain of the Company’s employees, business performance is evaluated excluding share-based compensation expenses. Depending upon the size, timing and the terms of grants, non-cash compensation expense may vary but will recur in future periods.  Prior periods have been revised to reflect this adjustment.

Spin-off related transaction expenses. The Company has incurred expenses related to the Separation to operate as a standalone publicly traded company. These expenses include third-party consulting fees, employee retention payments, legal fees and other costs related to the Separation. Management does not believe that these expenses are reflective of ongoing operating results. This adjustment does not include expenses incurred prior to the Separation.


A reconciliation of GAAP net earnings to Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 for these adjustments is presented in the following table:

OUTLOOK

Competition

Technological and regulatory changes, including the electronic distribution of documents and data hosting of media content, continue to impact the market for our products and services. One of the Company’s competitive strengths is that it offers a wide array of communications products, compliance services and technologies, a global platform, exceptional sales and service and regulatory domain expertise, which provide differentiated solutions for its clients.

The financial communications services industry, in general, is highly competitive and barriers to entry have decreased as a result of technology innovation.   Despite some consolidation in recent years, the industry remains highly fragmented in the United States and even more so internationally with many in-country alternative providers. The Company expects competition to increase from existing competitors, as well as new and emerging market entrants. In addition, as the Company expands its product and service offerings, it may face competition from new and existing competitors. The Company competes primarily on product quality and functionality, service levels, subject matter regulatory expertise, security and compliance characteristics, price and reputation.


The impact of digital technologies has been felt in many print products, most acutely in the Company’s mutual fund, variable annuity and public company compliance business offerings.  Historically, the Company has been a high-touch, service oriented business. Technology changes have provided alternatives to the Company’s clients that allow them to manage more of the financial disclosure process themselves through collaborative document management solutions.  For years, the Company has invested in its own applications, ActiveDisclosure, FundSuiteArc and Venue to serve clients and increase retention and has invested to expand capabilities and address new market sectors. The future impact of technology on the 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 its existing business to offer clients innovative services and solutions, including acquisitions of EDGAR Online and MultiCorpora and investments in Soxhub, Mediant, Peloton and eBrevia that further solidify the Company’s position as a technology service leader in the industry.  

The Company’s competitors for SEC filing services for capital markets clients include full service financial communications providers, technology point solution providers focused on financial communications and general technology providers. The Company’s competitors for SEC filing services for investment markets clients include full service traditional providers, small niche technology providers and local and regional print providers that bid againstthroughout the Company for printing, mailing and fulfillment services.  Language solutions competes with global and local language service providers and language/globalization software vendors.

Market Volatility/Cyclicality

The Company is subject to market volatility in the United States and world economy, as the successcourse of the transactional offering is largely dependent on the global market for IPOs,initial public offerings, secondary offerings, mergers and acquisitions, public and private debt offerings, leveraged buyouts, spinouts, special purpose acquisition company ("SPAC") and de-SPAC transactions and other similar transactions. In addition, the Company provides clients with compliance solutions to prepare their ongoing required Exchange Act filings that are compatible with the SEC’s EDGAR system, most notably Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Form 8-K and proxy filings. The InternationalCompany’s operating segments associated with its capital markets services and product offerings are as follows:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

As used in this management’s discussion and analysis, unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, the “Company,” “DFIN,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to Donnelley Financial Solutions, Inc.and its consolidated subsidiaries. This discussion and analysis should be read together with the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes thereto, as well as the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Company Overview

DFIN is a leading global risk and compliance solutions company. The Company provides regulatory filing and deal solutions via its software, technology-enabled services and print and distribution solutions to public and private companies, mutual funds and other regulated investment firms, to serve its clients’ regulatory and compliance needs. DFIN helps its clients comply with applicable regulations where and how they want to work in a digital world, providing numerous solutions tailored to each client’s precise needs. The prevailing trend is toward clients choosing to utilize the Company’s software solutions, in conjunction with its tech-enabled services, to meet their document and filing needs, while at the same time shifting away from physical print and distribution of documents, except for cases where it is still regulatorily required or requested by investors.

The Company serves its clients’ regulatory and compliance needs throughout their respective life cycles. For its capital markets clients, the Company offers solutions that allow public companies to comply with applicable U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regulations including filing agent services, digital document creation and online content management tools that support their corporate financial transactions and regulatory reporting; solutions to facilitate clients’ communications with their investors; and virtual data rooms and other deal management solutions. For investment companies, including mutual fund, insurance-investment and alternative investment companies, the Company provides solutions for creating, compiling and filing regulatory communications as well as solutions for investors designed to improve the access to and accuracy of their investment information.

Technological advancements, regulatory changes, and evolving workflow preferences have led to the Company’s clients managing more of the financial disclosure process themselves, changing the marketplace for the Company’s services and products. DFIN’s strategy in its Software Solutions segments (CM-SS and IC-SS, as defined below) aligns with the changing marketplace by focusing the Company’s investments and resources in its advanced software solutions, primarily ActiveDisclosure®, Arc Suite® software platform ("Arc Suite") and Venue® Virtual Data Room (“Venue”), while making targeted investments, such as the Company’s acquisition of Guardum Holdings Limited in 2021, to further enhance product features. In its Compliance & Communications Management segments (CM-CCM and IC-CCM, as defined below), the Company’s strategy focuses on maintaining its market-leading position by offering a high-touch, service-oriented experience, using its unique combination of tech-enabled services and print and distribution capabilities.

Market Volatility/Cyclicality and Seasonality

The Company’s Capital Markets segments (CM-SS and CM-CCM), in particular, are subject to market volatility in the United States and world economies, as mostthe success of the International businesstransactional and Venue offerings is capitallargely dependent on the global market for initial public offerings ("IPOs"), secondary offerings, mergers and acquisitions ("M&A"), public and private debt offerings, leveraged buyouts, spinouts, special purpose acquisition company ("SPAC") and de-SPAC transactions and other similar transactions. A variety of factors impact the global markets transaction focused.for transactions, including economic activity levels, interest rates, market volatility, the regulatory and political environment, geopolitical and civil unrest and global pandemics, among others. Due to the significant net sales and profitability derived from transactional and Venue offerings, market volatility can lead to uneven financial performance when comparing to previous periods. U.S. IPOs, M&A transactions and public debt offerings were also previously disrupted by U.S. federal government shutdowns, and any future government shutdowns could result in additional volatility. The Company mitigates a portion of this volatility through its compliance offerings, supporting the quarterly and annual public company reporting processes through its filing services and ActiveDisclosure, as well as its Investment Companies segments (IC-SS and IC-CCM) regulatory and stockholder communications offerings, including Arc Suite. The Company also mitigates some of thatthe risk by offering services in higher demand during a down market, likesuch as document management tools for the bankruptcy/restructuring process and alsoby moving upstream fromin the filing process with products like Venue, the Company’s data room solution. Venue.

24


The Company also attempts to balance this volatility through supporting the quarterly/annual public company reporting process through its EDGAR filing services and ActiveDisclosure product, its investment markets regulatory and shareholder communications offering and continues to expand into adjacent growth businesses like language solutions and data and analytics, which have recurring revenues and are not as susceptible to market volatility and cycles. This quarterly/annual public company reporting process work also subjects the Company to filing seasonality which peaks shortly after the end of each fiscal quarter, with peak periodsquarter. Additionally, investment companies clients require the Company to manage the financial and regulatory reporting and filing for mutual funds on a semi-annual basis as well as annual prospectus filings, which peaks during the course of the year that have operational implications. Suchsecond fiscal quarter. The seasonality and associated operational implications include the need to increase staff during peak periods through a combined strategy of hiring additional full-time and temporary personnel, increasing the premium time of existing staff and outsourcing production for a number of services. Additionally, clients and their financial advisors have begun to increasingly rely on web-based services which allow clients to autonomously file and distribute compliance documents with regulatory agencies, such as the SEC. While the Company believes that its ActiveDisclosure and FundSuiteArcArc Suite solutions are competitive in this space, competitors are also continuing to develop technologies that aim to improve clients’ ability to autonomously produce and file documents to meet their regulatory obligations. The Company continues to remainremains focused on driving annual recurring revenue in order to mitigate market volatility.

Raw MaterialsServices and Products

The primary raw materials usedCompany separately reports its net sales and related cost of sales for its software solutions, tech-enabled services and print and distribution offerings. The Company’s software solutions consist of Venue, ActiveDisclosure, eBrevia and Arc Suite, among others. The Company’s tech-enabled services offerings consist of document composition, compliance-related SEC Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (“EDGAR”) filing services and transaction solutions. The Company’s print and distribution offerings primarily consist of conventional and digital printed products and related shipping.

Government Regulations and Regulatory Impact

The SEC is adopting new as well as amending existing rules and forms to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). These actions, primarily within the Investment Companies business, are driving significant regulatory changes which impact the Company’s customers, and have enabled the Company to accelerate its transition from print and distribution to software solutions.

On October 26, 2022, the SEC announced that it adopted the Tailored Shareholder Reports (“TSR”) for Mutual Funds and Exchange-Traded Funds rule which requires certain investment companies to complete a new concise and visually engaging annual and semi-annual TSR that highlights key information that is particularly important for retail investors to assess and monitor their investments. The TSR, which can be printed and mailed or delivered electronically upon request of the investor, replaces Rule 30e-3 for open-ended funds and ETFs registered under Form N-1A and will require iXBRL tagging. While the rule was effective January 24, 2023, due to an 18-month transition period, compliance is not required until July 24, 2024. As a result, the Company is expecting an increase in revenue from Arc Suite software and related regulatory filings beginning in the second half of 2024.

Segments

The Company’s four operating and reportable segments are: Capital Markets – Software Solutions (“CM-SS”), Capital Markets – Compliance and Communications Management (“CM-CCM”), Investment Companies – Software Solutions (“IC-SS”) and Investment Companies – Compliance and Communications Management (“IC-CCM”).

Consolidated and Combined

Net sales of services for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased $17.3 million, or 3.8%, to $471.4 million, versus the nine months ended September 30, 2016, including a $2.4 million, or 0.5%, decrease due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Net sales of services increased due to higher volumes in mutual fund print-related services, virtual data room services and content management,additional headcount, partially offset by lower capital markets transactionshealthcare expense.

Non-GAAP Measures

The Company believes that certain non-GAAP measures, such as non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA (“Adjusted EBITDA”), provide useful information about the Company’s operating results and compliance volumes.

Net salesenhance the overall ability to assess the Company’s financial performance. The Company uses these measures, together with other measures of products forperformance prepared in accordance with GAAP, to compare the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased $0.3 million, or 0.1%,relative performance of operations in planning, budgeting and reviewing the performance of its business. Adjusted EBITDA allows investors to $308.7 million versusmake a more meaningful comparison between the nine months ended September 30, 2016, including a $1.0 million, or 0.3%, decrease due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Net salesCompany’s core business operating results over different periods of products increased due to higher capital markets compliance and mutual fund print-volumes, partially offset by lower capital markets transactions volumes and healthcare volumes.


Services cost of sales increased $15.7 million, or 6.4%, fortime. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA, when viewed with the nine months ended September 30, 2017, versus the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Services cost of sales increased due to higher mutual fund print-related services, and content management volumes, an increase in the allocation of information technology expenses from selling, general and administrative expenses to cost of sales and an increase in incentive compensation expense, partially offset by cost control initiatives. As a percentage of net sales, services cost of sales increased 1.4% due to unfavorable mixCompany’s results under GAAP and the increasedaccompanying reconciliations, provides useful information technology expense.

Productsabout the Company’s business without regard to potential distortions. By eliminating potential differences in results of operations between periods caused by factors such as historic cost and age of sales decreased $5.5 million, or 2.4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, versus the nine months ended September 30, 2016. As a percentage of net sales, products cost of sales decreased 1.9%.  Products cost of sales decreased due to a favorable mix of product sales and cost control initiatives.      

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $14.4 million, or 9.2%, to $171.2 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to an increase in expenses incurred to operate as an independent public company, including selling expenses, employee compensation costs and spin-off related transaction expenses, partially offset by an increase in the allocation of information technology expenses from selling, general and administrative expenses to cost of sales. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general, and administrative expenses increased from 20.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to 21.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily due to increased costs of operating as an independent public company, including spin-off related transaction expenses.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded netassets, restructuring, impairment and other charges, net, non-income tax, net, gain on investment as well as other items, as described below, the Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful additional basis for comparing the current performance of $6.4the underlying operations being evaluated.

Adjusted EBITDA is not presented in accordance with GAAP and has important limitations as an analytical tool. These measures should not be considered as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. In addition, these measures are defined differently by different companies and, accordingly, such measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies. In addition to the factors listed above, share-based compensation expense is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Although share-based compensation is a key incentive offered to certain of the Company’s employees, business performance is evaluated excluding share-based compensation expenses. Depending upon the size, timing and the terms of grants, share-based compensation expense may vary but will recur in future periods.

A reconciliation of net earnings to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 is presented in the following table:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Prior to the Separation, RRD provided financing, cash management and other treasury services to Donnelley Financial. The Company’s cash balances were swept by RRD and the Company received funding from RRD for operating and investing needs. Cash transferred to and from RRD was recorded as intercompany payables and receivables which are reflected in the net parent company investment in the consolidated and combined financial statements. Subsequent to the Separation, the Company no longer participates in cash management and funding arrangements with RRD.

The Company believes it has sufficient liquidity to support its ongoing operations and to invest in future growth to create value for its shareholders.investors. Cash on hand, operating cash flows and the Company’s $300.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”)Revolving Facility are the primary sources of liquidity and are expected to be used for, among other things, payment of interest and principal on the Company’s debt obligations, capital expenditures necessary to support productivity improvement and growth, acquisitions and completion of restructuring programs.

The Company maintains cash pooling structures that enable participating international locations to draw on the pools’ cash resources to meet local liquidity needs. Foreign cash balances may be loaned from certain cash pools to U.S. operating entities on a temporary basis in order to reduce the Company’s short-term borrowing costs or for other purposes. The Company has the ability to repatriate foreign cash, associated with foreign earnings previously subjected to U.S. tax, with minimal additional tax consequences. The Company maintains its assertion of indefinite reinvestment on all foreign earnings and other outside basis differences to indicate that the Company remains indefinitely reinvested in operations outside of the U.S., with the exception of the previously taxed foreign earnings already subject to U.S. tax. The Company did not repatriate excess cash at its foreign subsidiaries to the U.S. during the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company is evaluating whether to make any cash repatriations in the future.

On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) into law, which included enactment of a 15% corporate minimum tax effective in 2023 and imposes a 1% excise tax on share repurchases that occur after December 31, 2022. The Company currently does not expect the IRA to have a material impact on its financial results.

Cash and cash equivalents were $28.8 million at March 31, 2023, which included $4.0 million in the U.S. and $24.8 million at international locations.

Cash Flows Used ForIn Operating Activities

Operating cash inflows and outflows are largely attributable to sales of the Company’s services and products.

The Company was in compliance with its debt covenants as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023, and expects to remain in compliance based on management’s estimates of operating and financial results for 2017fiscal year 2023 and the foreseeable future. However, declines in market and economic conditions or demand for certain of the Company’s productsservices and servicesproducts could impact the Company’s ability to remain in compliance with its debt covenants in future periods.  As of September 30, 2017, the Company met all the conditions required to borrow under the Credit Agreement and management expects the Company to continue to meet the applicable borrowing conditions.

The failure of a financial institution supporting the Revolving Facility would reduce the size of the Company’s committed facility unless a replacement institution was added. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023, the Revolving Facility is supported by seventeenfifteen U.S. and international financial institutions.

As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023, the Company had $4.2 million in outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees, of which there was no reductionmet all the conditions required to the availabilityborrow under the Revolving Facility.

On September 30, 2016,management expects the Company entered intoto continue to meet the Credit Agreement, which provided for the Term Loan Credit Facility and the Revolving Facility. The Term Loan Facility will mature on September 30, 2023 and the Revolving Credit Facility will mature on September 30, 2021.applicable borrowing conditions.

On September 30, 2016, the Company issued $300.0 million of 8.250% Senior Notes (the “Notes”) due October 15, 2024.  Interest on the Notes is due semi-annually on April 15 and October 15, commencing on April 15, 2017.  34


The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture where certain wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries of the Company guarantee the Notes (the “Guarantors”).  In connection with the offering of the Notes, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement, dated as of September 30, 2016 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC with respect to an offer to exchange the Notes for registered notes. On March 10, 2017, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (as amended, the “Exchange Offer Registration Statement”) to offer to exchange the Notes for registered notes which have terms identical in all material respects to the Notes except that the registered notes are not subject to transfer restrictions or registration rights. The Exchange Offer Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on March 22, 2017. An exchange offer for the Notes was launched on March 22, 2017 and settled on April 25, 2017, resulting in the exchange of $299.9 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes for registered notes.

Risk Management

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its variable debt.  At September 30, 2017, the Company’s exposure to rate fluctuations on variable-interest borrowings was $198.5 million.

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. A hypothetical 10% change in yield would change the fair values of fixed-rate debt at September 30, 2017 by approximately $11.7 million, or 3.9%.

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 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. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
