Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is derived from contracts with an initial expected duration of one year or less. Generally, customer payment is due within ten days upon invoicing.

RRD maintained various benefitRevenue 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 arrangements with customers often include promises to transfer multiple services or products to a customer. Determining whether services and share-based compensation plansproducts 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 are not distinct.

Revenue for the Company’s services and products is recognized either over time or at a corporate level.  point in time, as outlined below.

Over time

The Company recognizes revenue for certain services over time.

The Company’s SaaS solutions, including Venue, the FundSuiteArc software platform, ActiveDisclosure, data and analytics and others, are generally provided on a subscription basis and allow customers access to use the products over the contract period. As a result, revenue for SaaS solutions is recognized ratably over time as the customer receives the benefit throughout the contract period. The timing of invoicing varies, however the customer may be invoiced before the end of the contract period, resulting in a deferred revenue balance.

Revenue for warehousing services is recognized ratably over time as the customer receives the benefit throughout the storage period.

Point in time

All remaining revenue arrangements are generally recognized at a point in time and are primarily invoiced upon completion of all services or upon shipment to the customer.

Certain of these arrangements include multiple performance obligations and revenue is recognized upon completion of each performance obligation, such as when a document is filed with a regulatory agency and upon completion of printing the related document. For arrangements with multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations. The Company provides customer specific solutions and as such, observable standalone selling price is rarely available. Standalone selling price is more frequently determined using an estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct service or product, taking into consideration historical selling price by customer for each distinct service or product. These estimates may vary from the final amounts invoiced to the customer and are adjusted upon completion of all performance obligations. Customers may be invoiced subsequent to the recognition of revenue for completed performance obligations, resulting in contract asset balances.

Revenue for arrangements which include assisting customers in completing regulatory filings for transactions, such as mergers and acquisitions or other public capital market transactions, is recognized upon completion of all promises, including the services performed and printing of the related document, if applicable.

Revenue for arrangements without a regulatory filing generally have a single performance obligation, as the services and products provided are not distinct within the context of the contract, and are recognized upon completion of the services performed or upon completion of printing of the related product.

Warehousing, fulfillment services and shipping and handling are each separate performance obligations. As a result, when the Company provides warehousing and future fulfillment services, revenue for the composition services performed and printing of the product is recognized upon completion of the performance obligation(s), as control of the inventory has transferred to the customer and the inventory is being stored at the customer’s request.

See Note 13, Related Parties,acquisition. The purchase price for the remaining equity of eBrevia, which includes the Company’s estimate of contingent consideration, was $23.3 million, net of cash acquired of $0.2 million. $1.8 million of the purchase price, excluding contingent consideration and amounts held in escrow, remains payable as of September 30, 2019.

Note 7. Leases

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. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the standard and all related amendments, using the optional transition method applied to leases at the adoption date. The comparative periods have not been restated and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.

The Company elected the optional package of practical expedients to not reassess prior conclusions related to contracts containing leases, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease components from non-lease components for real estate leases. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Company recognized a lease liability of $101.6 million and a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset of $100.8 million for operating leases at January 1, 2019.

The Company has operating leases for certain service centers, office space, warehouses and equipment. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, ROU assets were adjusted for deferred rent, restructuring liabilities, prepaids and favorable/onerous lease balances as of January 1, 2019. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used in determining the present value of future payments at the commencement date of the lease, or for the adoption of ASU 2016-02, at January 1, 2019. Balances related to operating leases are included in ROU assets, accrued liabilities and noncurrent lease liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

All real estate leases are recorded on the balance sheet. Equipment and other non-real estate leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Lease agreements for some locations provide for rent escalations and renewal options. Lease terms include the option to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Certain real estate leases require payment for taxes, insurance and maintenance which are considered non-lease components. The Company accounts for real estate leases and the related fixed non-lease components together as a single component.

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

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

The Company has non-cancelable sublease rental arrangements which did not reduce the future maturities of the operating lease liabilities at September 30, 2019 and did not reduce future rental commitments at December 31, 2018.

Note 6.9. 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’sDFIN’s pension plans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172019 and 20162018 were as follows:

Note 8.10. 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, performance share 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.

The fair value of the senior notes, which was determined using the market approach based upon interest rates available to the Company entered intofor borrowings with similar terms and maturities, was determined to be Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Company’s senior notes was $312.4 million and $298.1 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

The Company has a Credit Agreement (the “Credit(“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 Agreementwhich provides for (i) a new$350.0 million 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$300.0 million 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$20.0 million in the aggregate.

On December 18, 2018, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Credit Agreement which extended the maturity date of the Revolving Facility to December 18, 2023, reduced the interest rate margin percentages and facility fees applicable to the Revolving Facility, increased the allowable annual dividends from $15.0 million to $20.0 million in the aggregate and modified the financial maintenance and negative covenants in the Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2017,2019, there were no0 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 RRDweighted average interest rate 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 debtborrowings under the Revolving Facility.Facility was 5.0% and 5.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

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 ofThe Company’s 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:

Note 12.14. 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 13.  Related Parties

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 June 21, 2017, RRD completed the sale of approximately 6.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock.  RRD retained approximately 0.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock which RRD sold on August 1, 2017. Beginning in the quarter ended September 30, 2017, RRD no longer qualified as a related party and the amounts disclosed related to RRD are presented through June 30, 2017 only.

Transition Services Agreements

In connection with the Separation, the Company entered into transition services agreements separately with RRD and LSC, under which, in exchange for the fees specified in the arrangements, RRD and LSC agree to provide certain services to the Company and the Company agrees to provide certain services to RRD, respectively, for up to 24 months following the Separation. These services include, but are not limited to, information technology, accounts receivable, accounts payable, payroll and other financial and administrative services and functions. These agreements facilitate the separation by allowing the Company to operate independently prior to establishing stand-alone back office systems across its organization.  

Commercial Arrangements

The Company entered into a number of commercial and other arrangements with RRD and its subsidiaries. These include, among other things, arrangements for the provision of services, including global outsourcing and logistics services, printing and binding, digital printing, composition and access to technology. The Company also entered into a number of commercial and other arrangements with LSC and its subsidiaries, pursuant to which LSC will print and bind products for the Company. The terms of the arrangements with RRD and LSC do not exceed 24 months. Subsequent to the Separation, RRD and LSC are clients of the Company and expect to utilize financial communication software and services that the Company provides to all of its clients.

Stockholder and Registration Rights Agreement

The Company and RRD entered into a Stockholder and Registration Rights Agreement with respect to the Company’s common stock retained by RRD pursuant to which the Company agrees that, upon the request of RRD, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration under applicable federal and state securities laws of the shares of the Company’s common stock retained by RRD after the Separation. In addition, RRD granted the Company a proxy to vote the shares of the Company’s common stock that RRD retained immediately after the Separation in proportion to the votes cast by the Company’s other stockholders. This proxy, however, will be automatically revoked as to a particular share upon any sale or transfer of such share from RRD to a person other than RRD, and neither the voting agreement nor the proxy will limit or prohibit any such sale or transfer.

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. 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.

Sublease Agreement

In connection with the Separation, the Company assumed an operating lease through 2024 for the Company’s headquarters.  There is a related non-cancelable sublease rental to RRD for the same period.  The Company remains secondarily liable under this lease in the event that the sub-lessee defaults under the sublease terms. The Company does not believe that material payments will be required as a result of the secondary liability provisions of the primary lease agreement.

Related Party Receivables/Payables

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. The Company has other amounts due to or from RRD in the normal course of business. The Company had $96.0 million of receivables from RRD and $27.1 million of payables to RRD included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2016.  

Allocations from RRD

Prior to the Separation RRD provided Donnelley Financial with certain services, which include, but are not limited to information technology, finance, legal, human resources, internal audit, treasury, tax, investor relations and executive oversight. The financial information in these consolidated and combined financial statements does not necessarily include all the expenses that would have been incurred had Donnelley Financial been a separate, standalone entity for all periods presented. Prior to the Separation RRD charged Donnelley Financial for these services based on direct usage when possible. When specific identification was not practicable, the pro rata basis of revenue or employee headcount, or some other measure was used. These allocations were reflected as follows in the unaudited condensed consolidated and combined financial statements:

The Company considers the expense methodology and results to be reasonable for all periods presented.  However, these allocations may not be indicative of the actual expenses that the Company would have incurred as an independent public company or the costs it may incur in the future.

Related Party Revenues

Donnelley Financial generates a portion of net revenue from sales to RRD’s subsidiaries. Net revenues from sales to RRD and affiliates of $1.1 million and $3.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, were included in the unaudited condensed combined statement of operations.

Related Party Purchases

Donnelley Financial utilizes RRD for freight and logistics and services as well as certain production of printed products.  Cost of sales of $11.5 million and $48.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, were included in the unaudited condensed combined statement of operations for these purchases.

Donnelley Financial also utilizes RRD’s business process outsourcing business for certain composition, XBRL and other functions.  Cost of sales of $8.7 million and $29.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, were included in the unaudited condensed combined statement of operations for these purchases. 

For periods prior to the Separation, intercompany payables with RRD and affiliates for these purchases are reflected within net parent company investment in the unaudited condensed consolidated and combined financial statements.

Share-Based Compensation Prior to Separation

Prior to the Separation, certain Donnelley Financial employees participated in RRD’s share-based compensation plans, the costs of which have been allocated to Donnelley Financial and recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed combined statement of operations. Share-based compensation costs allocated to the Company were $0.2 million and $1.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

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

Retirement Plans Prior to Separation

Prior to the Separation, Donnelley Financial employees participated in pension and other postretirement plans sponsored by RRD.  These costs are reflected in the Company’s cost 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 14.15. New Accounting Pronouncements  

In March 2017, the FinancialRecently Adopted Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) 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 components 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 income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016which would be reclassified to other income upon adoption of the standard.

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.Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No.ASU 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 criteriaformer accounting standard. The Company adopted the standard and all related amendments on January 1, 2019 using the optional transition method.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements

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

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”), which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue using a five-step process that supersedes virtually all existing revenue guidance. ASU 2014-09 also requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures. In August 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-14 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date” (“ASU 2015-14”), which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 to January 1, 2018. Early adoption of ASU 2014-09 is permitted in the first quarter of 2017.  However, the Company plans to adopt the standard in the first quarter of 2018. The standard allows the option of either a full retrospective adoption, meaning the standard is applied to all periods presented, or a modified retrospective adoption, meaning the standard is applied only to the most current period. The Company is evaluating the impact of the provisions of ASU 2014-09 and currently anticipates applying the modified retrospective approach when adopting the standard.

Segments

The Company operates in two business segments:

United States. The U.S. segment is comprised of three reporting units: capital markets; investment markets; and language solutions, which was divested in 2018.* The Company services capital market and investment market clients in the U.S. by delivering products and technology-enabled services to help create, manage and deliver financial communications to investors and regulators. The Company provides capital market and investment market clients with communication tools, services and software to allow them to comply with their ongoing regulatory filings. In addition, the U.S. segment provides clients with communications services to create, manage and deliver registration statements, prospectuses, proxies and other communications to regulators and investors. The U.S. segment also includes commercial printing capabilities and language solutions.*

International. The International segment includes operations in Asia, Europe, Canada and Latin America. The international business is primarily focused on working with international capital markets clients on capital markets offerings and regulatory compliance related activities within the United States. In addition, the International segment provides services to international investment market clients to allow them to comply with applicable SEC regulations, as well as language solutions to international clients.*

*The Company sold its Language Solutions business on July 22, 2018. Refer to Note 3, Acquisitions and Dispositions, to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company reports certain unallocated selling, general and administrative activities and associated expenses within “Corporate”, including, in part, executive, legal, finance, marketing and certain facility costs. In addition, certain costs and earnings of employee benefit plans, such as pension income and share-based compensation, are included in Corporate and are not allocated to the reportable segments. Prior to the Separation (as defined below), many of these costs were based on allocations from R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company (“RRD”); however, the Company now incurs such costs directly.

For the Company’s financial results and the presentation of certain other financial information by segment, see Note 10, 12, Segment Information, to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements.

Products and Services

The Company separately reports its net sales and related cost of sales for its products and services offerings. 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 servicesthe Company’s SaaS solutions, including Venue Virtual Data Room (“Venue”), FundSuiteArc, ActiveDisclosure and EDGAR Online, among others. The Company’s service offerings included language solutions.solutions prior to the sale of the Language Solutions business in July 2018. The Company’s product offerings primarily consist of conventional and digital printed products and related distributionshipping 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$21.0 million, or 0.8%9.7%, for the third quarter of 20172019 compared to the same period in the prior year. There wasyear, including a $0.3$0.6 million, or 0.1%0.3%, increasedecrease due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Net sales decreased due to lower mutual fund print and print related services and lower capital markets transactions and compliance volumes. In addition, net sales decreased $3.2 million due to the impact of the sale of the Language Solutions business in July 2018. The decrease in net sales was partially offset by growth in SaaS solutions, primarily in FundSuiteArc and ActiveDisclosure, as well as the acquisition of eBrevia.

OUTLOOK

Competition

Technological and regulatory changes, including the electronic distribution of documents, continue to impact the market for our products and services. In addition to the Company’s ongoing innovation in its SaaS solutions, one of the Company’s competitive strengths is that it offers a wide array of communications products, compliance services, a global platform, exceptional sales and service and regulatory domain expertise, which provide differentiated solutions for its clients.

The global risk and compliance 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, price and reputation.

The impact of digital technologies has impacted many of the products and markets in which the Company competes, most acutely in the Company’s mutual fund, variable annuity and public company compliance business offerings. While the Company offers a high-touch, service oriented experience, technology changes have provided alternatives to the Company’s clients that allow them to manage more of the financial disclosure process themselves. The Company has invested in its own SaaS solutions, 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 eBrevia and EDGAR Online and investments in AuditBoard, Mediant, Peloton and Gain Compliance that support the Company’s position as a technology service leader in this evolving industry.  

The Company’s competitors for SEC filing services for public company compliance 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 against the Company for printing, mailing and fulfillment services.


Market Volatility/Cyclicality

The Company is subject to market volatility in the United States and world economy, as the success of the transactional offering is largely dependent on the global market for IPOs, secondary offerings, mergers and acquisitions, public and private debt offerings, leveraged buyouts, spinouts and other transactions. A variety of factors impact the global markets, including the regulatory and political environment. Recently, the U.S. IPO market and public debt market were disrupted by the U.S. federal government shutdown that occurred from December 2018 to January 2019. Future government shutdowns could affect volatility of any of these markets. The International segment is particularly susceptible to capital market volatility as most of the International business is capital markets transaction focused. The Company mitigates some of that risk by offering services in higher demand during a down market, like document management tools for the bankruptcy/restructuring process, and also by moving upstream from the filing process with products like Venue, the Company’s data room solution. 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 data and analytics, which has recurring revenues and is not as susceptible to market volatility and cycles. The quarterly/annual public company reporting process work also subjects the Company to filing seasonality shortly after the end of each fiscal quarter, with peak periods during the course of the year. 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 FundSuiteArc solutions are competitive in this space, competitors are 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 remain focused on driving recurring revenue to mitigate market volatility.

Regulatory Impact

The SEC is adopting new rules and forms and amending rules and forms to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. These changes are driving significant regulatory changes which impact the Company’s customers within its Investment Markets business. On October 13, 2016, the SEC adopted a new N-PORT filing requirement, which requires certain registered investment companies to report information about their portfolio in XML, a structured data format, on a monthly basis, replacing what was previously a quarterly filing requirement. This rule also includes an annual N-CEN filing in XML, replacing a semi-annual filing requirement. Compliance dates depend on asset size and began as soon as June 1, 2018 for larger funds. The first N-PORT filing deadlines began in April 2019. The Company’s ArcFiling software solution supports both filings. The Company expects an increase in SaaS revenue due to the increase in the frequency of filings for registered investment companies.

On June 5, 2018, the SEC adopted Rule 30e-3 which provides certain registered investment companies with an option to electronically deliver shareholder reports and other materials rather than providing such reports in paper. Investors who prefer to receive reports in paper will continue to receive them in that format. While Rule 30e-3 was effective January 1, 2019, default electronic distribution pursuant to the rule will begin on January 1, 2021 due to a 24-month transition period, during which registered investment companies must notify investors of the upcoming change in transmission format of shareholder reports. The Company expects a decline in the volume of printed annual and semi-annual shareholder reports in 2021 and beyond as a result of Rule 30e-3.

Raw Materials

The primary raw materials used in the Company’s printed products are paper and ink. The paper and ink are sourced from a small set of select suppliers to ensure consistent quality that meets the Company’s performance expectations and provides for continuity of supply. The Company believes that the risk of incurring material losses as a result of a shortage in raw materials is unlikely and that the losses, if any, would not have a materially negative impact on the Company’s business.

Distribution

The Company’s products are distributed to end-users through the U.S or foreign postal services, through retail channels, electronically or by direct shipment to customer facilities.


Significant Accounting Policies and Critical Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the extensive use of management’s estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The Company’s significant accounting policies and critical estimates are disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the SEC on February 27, 2019.

Financial Review

In the financial review that follows, the Company discusses its unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations, cash flows and certain other information. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes.

Net sales for the U.S. segment for the three months ended September 30, 2019 were $173.7 million, a decrease of $11.8 million, or 6.4%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018. Net sales decreased due to lower capital markets transaction volumes, lower mutual fund volumes and the sale of the Language Solutions business, partially offset by growth in SaaS solutions, primarily due to ActiveDisclosure and the acquisition of eBrevia. An analysis of net sales by reporting unit follows:

��

Capital Markets: Sales decreased due to lower capital markets transactions, primarily as a result of fewer mergers and acquisitions deals completed, which was only partially offset by an increase in IPO activity and higher volumes in ActiveDisclosure and the acquisition of eBrevia.

Investment Markets: Sales decreased primarily due to lower mutual fund print, FundSuiteArc and healthcare volumes.

Language Solutions: There were no sales in the three months ended September 30, 2019 due to the sale of the Language Solutions business in July 2018.

U.S. segment income from operations decreased $9.2 million, or 19.0%, for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018 primarily due to the impact of the 2018 gain on sale of the Language Solutions business recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2018, partially offset by the net gain recognized from the sale of a building during the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in income from operations was also impacted by lower net sales volumes and unfavorable mix, partially offset by cost control initiatives, lower incentive compensation expense and spin-off related transaction expenses.

Operating margins decreased from 26.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 to 22.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 due to the impact of the prior year gain on sale of the Language Solutions business, which impacted margins by 14.3 percentage points, unfavorable mix and higher restructuring, impairment and other charges, partially offset by the net gain recognized from the sale of a building during September 2019 which impacted margins by 11.1 percentage points, lower incentive compensation expense, which favorably impacted margins by 1.0 percentage points and lower spin-off related transaction expenses, which favorably impacted margins by 0.9 percentage points.

Net sales decreased due to lower capital markets transactions and mutual funds volumes, partially offset by higher FundSuiteArc volumes. Net sales also decreased $2.0 million due to the sale of the Language Solutions business.

International segment (loss) income from operations decreased $27.9 million, or 103.3%, for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018. Income from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2019 decreased primarily due to the impact from the gain recognized from the sale of the Language Solutions business in 2018, lower capital markets transactions and mutual funds volumes and an increase in information technology expenses allocated to the International segment, offset by lower disposition-related expenses, higher FundSuiteArc volumes and cost control initiatives.

Operating margins decreased from 86.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 to negative 4.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 due to the impact of the prior year gain on sale of the Language Solutions business, which impacted margins by 85.7 percentage points and higher information technology expenses allocated to the International segment, offset by lower disposition-related expenses which favorably impacted margins by 3.8 percentage points.

Net sales of services for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased $66.4 million, or 13.7%, to $419.5 million, versus the nine months ended September 30, 2018, including a $2.1 million, or 0.4%, decrease due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Net sales of services decreased $41.8 million due to the sale of the Language Solutions business. In addition, net sales of services decreased 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.compliance, partially offset by growth in SaaS solutions, primarily in ActiveDisclosure and FundSuiteArc as well as the acquisition of eBrevia.

Net sales of products for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased $11.9 million, or 4.3%, to $264.9 million versus the nine months ended September 30, 2018, including a $0.7 million, or 0.3%, decrease due to changes in foreign exchange rates.

As a percentage of net sales, selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased from 26.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to 23.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to lower spin-off related transaction expenses and cost control initiatives.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded net restructuring, impairment and other charges of $8.7 million, as compared to $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.  In 2019, these charges included $8.2 million of employee termination costs for 235 employees, $0.4 million of net impairment charges related to software assets and $0.1 million for other charges associated with the Company’s decision to withdraw in 2013 from certain multi-employer pension plans serving facilities that continued to operate.

Net sales for the U.S. segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $599.7 million, a decrease of $41.4 million, or 6.5%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Net sales decreased due to lower capital markets transaction volumes, the sale of the Language Solutions business and lower volumes in capital markets compliance and commercial print, partially offset by higher mutual fund print volumes and growth in SaaS solutions, primarily ActiveDisclosure and the acquisition of eBrevia. An analysis of net sales by reporting unit follows:

Capital Markets: Sales decreased due to lower capital markets transactions and compliance volumes, partially offset by higher volumes in ActiveDisclosure and the acquisition of eBrevia.

Investment Markets: Sales increased due to higher mutual fund print volumes, partially driven by a special proxy project. The increase in sales was partially offset by lower commercial print volumes and lower FundSuiteArc volumes.

Language Solutions: There were no sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 due to the sale of the Language Solutions business in July 2018.

U.S. segment income from operations decreased $20.8 million, or 17.1%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to the impact of the prior year gain on sale of the Language Solutions business recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2018, partially offset by the net gain recognized from the sale of a building during the three months ended September 30, 2019. Income from operations was also unfavorably impacted by lower net sales volumes, unfavorable mix and higher restructuring, impairment and other charges, partially offset by lower spin-off related transaction expenses, cost control initiatives and lower incentive compensation expense.

Operating margins decreased from 19.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to 16.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 of which 4.4 percentage points was due to the impact of the prior year gain on sale of the Language Solutions business and 0.5 percentage points was due to higher restructuring, impairment and other charges. Operating margins were favorably impacted by the net gain on the sale of a building which impacted margins by 3.2 percentage points, lower spin-off related transaction expenses which impacted margins by 2.4 percentage points and cost control initiatives.

International segment (loss) income from operations decreased $33.7 million, or 108.4%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to the impact from the gain recognized from the sale of the Language Solutions business in 2018, lower capital markets transaction and mutual fund volumes, an increase in information technology expenses allocated to the International segment and the impact of the loss recognized related to the 2018 sale of the Language Solutions business, partially offset by higher FundSuiteArc volumes.


Operating margins decreased from 25.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to negative 3.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 due to the impact of the prior year gain on sale of the Language Solutions business, which unfavorably impacted margins by 24.0 percentage points, unfavorable mix and higher information technology expenses allocated to the International segment, partially offset by cost control initiatives.

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, acquisition-related expenses 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.

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.

Investor-related expenses. Expenses incurred related to non-routine investor matters, which include third-party advisory and consulting fees and legal fees.

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.

Spin-off related transaction expenses. The Company has incurred expenses related to the Separation from R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company (“RRD”) (the “Separation”) to operate as a standalone publicly traded company. These expenses include third-party consulting fees, information technology expenses, employee retention payments, legal fees and other costs related to the Separation, including system implementation expenses related to transitioning from transition service agreements with RRD and LSC Communications, Inc. Management does not believe that these expenses are reflective of ongoing operating results.

Disposition-related expenses. Expenses incurred related to the disposition of the Language Solutions business. These expenses primarily include legal fees, third-party advisory and consulting fees and other costs related to the disposition.

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 against 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 success of the transactional offering is largely dependent on the global market for IPOs, secondary offerings, mergers and acquisitions, public and private debt offerings, leveraged buyouts, spinouts and other transactions. The International segment is particularly susceptible to capital market volatility as most of the International business is capital markets transaction focused. The Company mitigates some of that risk by offering services in higher demand during a down market, like document management tools for the bankruptcy/restructuring process, and also moving upstream from the filing process with products like Venue, the Company’s data room solution. 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 shortly after the end of each fiscal quarter, with peak periods during the course of the year that have operational implications. Such 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 FundSuiteArc solutions are competitive in this space, competitors are 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 remain focused on driving recurring revenue in order to mitigate market volatility.

Raw Materials

The primary raw materials used in the Company’s printed products are paper and ink. The paper and ink supply is sourced from a small set of select suppliers in order to ensure consistent quality that meets the Company’s performance expectations and provides for continuity of supply. The Company believes that the risk of incurring material losses as a result of a shortage in raw materials is unlikely and that the losses, if any, would not have a materially negative impact on the Company’s business.

Distribution

The Company’s products are distributed to end-users through the U.S or foreign postal services, through retail channels, electronically or by direct shipment to customer facilities. Postal costs are a significant component of many customers’ cost structures and postal rate changes can influence the number of pieces that the Company’s customers are willing to print and mail.

Financial Review

In the financial review that follows, the Company discusses its unaudited condensed consolidated and combined results of operations, cash flows and certain other information. In periods 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. There are limitations inherent in the preparation of all carve out financial statements due to the fact that the Company’s business was previously part of a larger organization. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated and combined financial statements and the related notes.

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. Cash on hand, operating cash flows and the Company’s $300.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “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 following describes the Company’s cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 20172019 and 2016.2018.

Net cash provided byused in operating activities was $33.7$4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 20172019 compared to $56.8$10.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Cash Flows Used For(Used in) Provided by Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $23.1$9.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 20172019 compared to $17.0net cash provided by investing activities of $57.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.2018.

Risk Management

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its variable debt. At September 30, 2017,2019, the Company’s exposure to rate fluctuations on variable-interest borrowings was $198.5$72.5 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, 20172019 by approximately $11.7$9.1 million, or 3.9%3.0%.

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.
