1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company and its subsidiaries (“RRD,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on February 24, 2021. Operating results for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 are not indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include estimates and assumptions of management that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

In 2020, to focus on our core product and service offerings, we completed our plan to exit our Logistics Business. This business included Print Logistics, which was disposed of on July 2, 2018; Courier Logistics, which was disposed of on March 2, 2020; DLS Worldwide, which was disposed of November 2, 2020; and International Logistics which was disposed of on November 3, 2020. These businesses were included in the Business Services segment and primarily provided logistics services to a broad range of clients in the United States and globally. The financial results of these businesses have been excluded from continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented unless otherwise noted. Refer to Note 2 –Discontinued Operations to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

2. Discontinued Operations

In the fourth quarter of 2020, we completed our plan to exit our Logistics business, which was a component of the Business Services reporting segment. The Logistics business was comprised of DLS Worldwide, International Logistics, Print Logistics and Courier Logistics.  OnIn November 2, 2020, we sold our DLS Worldwide for $225.0 million cash, subject to a customary working capital adjustment and an escrow of $22.5 million. On November 3, 2020 we sold International Logistics for $13.0 million cash. The sale of these businesses wasas part of our strategic shift to exit non-core businesses in order to pursue portfolio optimization and to reduce debt. As part of this strategic shift, we previously sold Print Logistics in July 2018 and Courier Logistics in March 2020. During the quartersix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, we finalized working capital adjustments and settled certain other contingencies related to the divested businesses, the impact of which is included in the Gain on sale of the discontinued operations, net of tax, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.tax.

UponAs part of the divestitures, we entered into transition services agreements with the buyers to assist them in the transition of certain functions, including, but not limited to, information technology, finance, and human resources. Further, we entered into several commercial agreements whereby we continue to receive logistics services from the divested business. Our involvement with the divested businesses is not material in the quarterthree or six-month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2021.


We have reflected the Courier Logistics business, the DLS Worldwide business, and the International Logistics business, as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Variable Consideration

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

The closing date of the final sales transaction is uncertain at this time due to the uncertainty around the timing of the regulatory process including government approvals. Gross proceeds from the sale are expected to be approximately $250.0 million, subject to changes in the exchange rate,rate.and we expect the transaction to close in 2022 after closing conditions are satisfied and government approvals are obtained.

The current portion of restructuring reserves of $35.9$24.3 million at March 31,June 30, 2021 was included in Accrued liabilities and other while the long-term portion of $46.1$45.2 million, primarily related to MEPP withdrawal obligations, employee terminations in litigation and other, was included in Other noncurrent liabilities at March 31,June 30, 2021. The liabilities for the withdrawal obligations associated with our previous decision to withdraw from all MEPPs included in Accrued liabilities and other and Other noncurrent liabilities are $21.6$6.9 million and $43.1$41.9 million, respectively, as of March 31,June 30, 2021.

Changes based on uncertainties in these estimated withdrawal obligations could affect the ultimate charges related to MEPP withdrawals. Refer to Note 14 – Commitment and Contingencies to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

The restructuring liabilities classified as “other” primarily consisted of reserves for employee termination litigation and environmental matters. Any potential recoveries or additional charges could affect amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

During the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 and 2020, we contributed $1.9$2.6 million and $4.0$4.2 million, respectively, to our retirement plans.

9. Share-Based Compensation

In March 2021, we awarded our annual share-based compensation grants, which consisted of 0.8 million restricted stock units with a grant date fair value of $4.52 per unit and 0.8 million performance share units also with a grant date fair value of $4.52 per unit. The restricted stock units are subject to a three year ratable vesting period and the performance share units are subject to a three year performance period. Dividends are 0t paid on restricted stock units.As of June 30, 2021, there were 1.5 million and 2.2 million outstanding restricted shares and performance restricted shares, respectively.


In addition, in March 2021 we granted 0.9 million cash-settled restricted stock units (“phantom restricted stock units”) and 0.9 million cash-settled performance stock units (“phantom performance stock units”). Our share price on the date of grant was $4.52. The phantom restricted stock units vest and are payable in three equal installments over a period of three years after the grant date. The phantom performance stock units are subject to a three year performance period. Phantom stock units are not shares of our common stock and therefore the recipients of these awards do not receive ownership interest in the Company or stockholder voting rights. Phantom stock unit awards are subject to forfeiture upon termination of employment prior to vesting, subject in some cases to early vesting upon specified events, including death or permanent disability of the grantee, termination of the grantee’s employment under certain circumstances or a change in control of the Company. All phantom stock unit awards are classified as liability awards due to their expected settlement in cash and are included in Accrued liabilities and other in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Compensation expense for these awards is measured based upon the fair value of the awards at the end of each reporting period. Dividends are 0t paid on phantom stock units.As of June 30, 2021, there were 2.1 million and 2.4 million outstanding cash-settled phantom and performance cash-settled phantom shares, respectively.

Compensation expense for these plans was $6.8$9.4 million and $16.2 million for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 and $0.3$2.8 million and $3.1 million for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020, respectively

On May 17, 2021, our Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Stockholder Rights Agreement. The amendment raises from 10% to 15% the level of beneficial ownership of RRD common stock the acquisition of which by a person or group (other than certain passive institutional investors) would result in the rights becoming exercisable.

Our equity as of December 31, 2019 and March 31,June 30, 2020, and changes during three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020, were as follows:

11. Earnings per Share

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

 


During the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 and 2020, 0 shares of common stock were purchased by us; however, shares were withheld for tax liabilities upon the vesting of equity awards.

The reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted earnings per share calculation and the anti-dilutive share-based awards for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:

Our segments and their product and service offerings are summarized below:

Business Services

Business Services provides customized solutions at scale to help clients inform, service and transact with their customers. The segment’s primary product and service offerings include commercial print, packaging, labels, statement printing, supply chain management, forms and business process outsourcing. This segment also includes all of our operations in Asia, Europe, Canada and Latin America.

Marketing Solutions

Marketing Solutions leverages an integrated portfolio of data analytics, creative services and multichannel execution to deliver comprehensive, end-to-end solutions. The segment’s primary product and service offerings include direct marketing, in-store marketing, digital print, kitting, fulfillment, digital and creative solutions and list services.

 


Corporate

Certain selling general and administrative expenses are not directly attributable to our operating segments and are therefore reported at Corporate. These expenses include executive, legal, finance, communications, certain facility costs and last-in-first-out inventory provisions. In addition, certain costs and earnings of employee benefit plans, such as pension and OPEB expense (income) and share-based compensation, are included in Corporate and not allocated to the operating segments. Corporate also manages our cash pooling structures, which enables participating international locations to draw on our international cash resources to meet local liquidity needs.

Information by Segment

We have disclosed income (loss) from operations as the primary measure of segment earnings (loss). This is the measure of profitability used by our chief operating decision-maker and is most consistent with the presentation of profitability reported within the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net restructuring, impairment and other expenses by segment are described in Note 7, Restructuring, Impairment and Other.

14. Commitments and Contingencies

We are subject to laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. We provide for expenses associated with environmental remediation obligations when such amounts are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Such accruals are adjusted as new information develops or circumstances change and are generally not discounted. We have been designated as a potentially responsible party or have received claims in 4 active federal and state Superfund and other multiparty remediation sites. In addition to these sites, we may also have the obligation to remediate 6 other previously and currently owned facilities. At the Superfund sites, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act provides that our liability could be joint and several, meaning that we could be required to pay an amount in excess of our proportionate share of the remediation costs.

Our understanding of the financial strength of other potentially responsible parties at the multiparty sites and of other liable parties at the previously owned facilities has been considered, where appropriate, in the determination of our estimated liability. We believe that our recorded accruals, recorded in Accrued liabilities and other and Other noncurrent liabilities, are adequate to cover our share of the potential costs of remediation at each of the multiparty sites and the previously and currently owned facilities. It is not possible to quantify with certainty the potential impact of actions regarding environmental matters, particularly remediation and other compliance efforts that we may undertake in the future. However, in our opinion, compliance with the present environmental protection laws, before taking into account estimated recoveries from third parties, will not have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.


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

In addition, the Brazil authorities are also investigating the matter and in June 2021 the Company learned that Brazil's Comptroller General of the Union ("CGU") issued an administrative enforcement notice with charges related to previous business dealings between an administrative body of the Brazilian Ministry of Education and the Company's former Brazilian subsidiary, RR Donnelley Editora e Gráfica (“RRD-Brazil”).  The administrative enforcement notice forms the basis of an administrative proceeding against the former Brazilian subsidiary (which filed for bankruptcy liquidation in March 2019) and its immediate parent, RR Donnelley Holdings B.V.  The Company also is named as a party in this proceeding.  The administrative enforcement notice alleges that former employees of RRD-Brazil engaged in anticompetitive and other business misconduct in connection with services provided to the Ministry of Education.  We are pursuing our defenses in this matter and analyzing potential courses of action with local legal counsel.

From time to time, our clients file voluntary petitions for reorganization under United States bankruptcy laws. In such cases, certain pre-petition payments received by us from these parties could be considered preference items and subject to return.

We also regularly investigate matters reported to our whistleblower hotline and are currently investigating matters in certain foreign locations. In addition, we may be party to litigation arising in the ordinary course of business.

We believe that the final resolution of these preference items, investigations, and litigation will not have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.


Contingencies related to LSC Communication, Inc. and Subsidiaries (“LSC”) and Donnelley Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Donnelley Financial”)

Subsequent to the spinoff of LSC Communications, Inc. and Subsidiaries (“LSC”) and Donnelley Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Donnelley Financial”) on October 1, 2016, we may be contingently liable for obligations under various operating leases for office, warehouse and manufacturing locations of LSC and Donnelley Financial. In the event that LSC or Donnelley Financial, or any successor lessee, fail to make lease payments or fail to pay other obligations under these lease agreements, we may be required to satisfy those obligations to the lessor. Our exposure to these potential contingent liabilities decreases over time as LSC and Donnelley Financial pay monthly lease obligations and as the leases expire. As of March 31,June 30, 2021 these potential contingent obligations were $43.4$41.2 million and $2.3$1.8 million for LSC and Donnelley Financial, respectively.

On April 13, 2020, LSC announced that it, along with most of its U.S. subsidiaries, voluntarily filed for business reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In September 2020, a third-party (the “Buyer”) offered to buy the assets and assume certain obligations of LSC. Although the buyer assumed the majority of LSC’s existing leases, we will continue to be contingently liable for these leases until their termination or renewal.

In May and June 2020 we became aware that LSC failed to make required monthly contributions to certain of their multiemployer pension plans (“MEPP”). In accordance with laws and regulations governing multiemployer pension plans, we believe that we and Donnelley Financial, as former members of the control group, are contingently liable on a joint and several liability basis for LSC’s MEPP obligations. We believe that the total undiscounted MEPP obligations for which LSC was responsible for was approximately $100 million and was payable over an average 13-year period. The amount of our ultimate liability related to LSC's MEPP obligations is contingent upon the outcome of our negotiations with Donnelley Financial concerning how the obligations would be apportioned between us and Donnelley Financial. These negotiations commenced during the third quarter of 2020, when the parties agreed to enter into mediation, and then arbitration, after an agreement was not reached though the mediation process. During the three months ended March 31,first quarter of 2021, Donnelley Financial filed notice to commence the arbitration process.process, although no arbitration date has been set. In 2020, we recorded a contingent liability of approximately $37.1 million representing our estimate of the aggregate payments we believe we will be required to make with respect to LSC’s MEPP liabilities. This amount however could be adjusted in the future based on the final allocation as a result of the arbitration process. Payments to settle this liability are scheduled to be completed by 2034.

During the first quarter ofsix months ended June 30, 2021, we and Donnelley Financial commenced negotiations with each of the three MEPPs to settle the MEPP liabilities. During the period,liabilities and, we successfully negotiated a settlement with onetwo of the three plans and asplans. As a result of these settlements, in the same period, we recorded a $1.7$2.2 million gain in restructuring, impairment and other expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations reflecting our estimated share of the reduced liability. TheCash payments made by us during the second quarter of 2021 were approximately $18.4 million and primarily related to the settlement payment of $9.2the two MEPP plans. As of June 30, 2021, we have $13.4 million was made in April 2021.accrued representing our estimate for our share of the remaining liability.

As of March 31,June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the interest rate on the Term Loan due January 15, 2024 was 5.11%5.09% and 5.15%, respectively. 

The fair values of the notes and debentures, which were determined using the market approach based upon quoted prices or interest rates available to us for debt obligations with similar terms and maturities, were determined to be Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of our total debt at March 31,June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was greater than its book value by approximately $170.6$182.2 million and $142.9 million, respectively.

We entered intoOn April 28, 2021, we completed an $800.0offering of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.125% senior secured notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) at par. On May 10, 2021, we completed an additional $50.0 million offering of the 2026 Notes that were issued at a $1.1 million premium, increasing the aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes to $450.0 million. The 2026 Notes are general senior secured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed by our domestic, wholly-owned subsidiaries that are guarantors of the ABL Credit Facility and Term Loan. Interest on the 2026 Notes is payable semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year, commencing on November 1, 2021. The 2026 Notes mature on November 1, 2026. The proceeds from the offerings of the 2026 Notes were used to repay $387.6 million of principal outstanding under our Term Loan and to reduce the outstanding balance under our ABL Credit Facility, including the amount borrowed for repayment of the $55.6 million principal outstanding of the 8.875% Debentures that matured on April 15, 2021.

On April 16, 2021, we amended our senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Credit Facility”) on September 29, 2017, pursuant to a credit agreement (the “ABL Credit Agreement”). The ABL Credit Facility was amended on October 15, 2018 and was scheduled to mature on September 29, 2022. On April 16, 2021, we amended the ABL Credit Agreement to, among other things, extend the maturity date from September 29, 2022 to April 16, 2026 and reduce the aggregate commitments under the ABL Credit Facility from $800.0 million to $650.0 million and extend the maturity date to April 16, 2026.million.

The amount available to be borrowed under the ABL Credit Facility is equal to the lesser of (a) $650.0 million ($800.0 million as of March 31, 2021) and (b) a borrowing base formula based on the amount of accounts receivable, inventory, machinery, equipment and, if we were to so elect in the future subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, fee-owned real estate of ours and our material domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain eligibility criteria and advance rates (collectively, the “Borrowing Base”). The aggregate amount of real estate, machinery and equipment that can be included in the Borrowing Base formula is limited to $175.0 million.

Borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility bear interest at a rate dependent on the average quarterly availability and is calculated according to a base rate (except in certain circumstances, based on the prime rate) or a Eurocurrency rate (except in certain circumstances, based on LIBOR) plus an applicable margin. As currently amended, theThe applicable margin for base rate loans ranges from 0.25% to 0.75% and the applicable margin for Eurocurrency loans ranges from 1.25% to 1.75%. In addition, a fee is payable quarterly on the unused portion of the total commitments. This fee accrues at a rate of either 0.25% or 0.375% depending upon the average usage of the facility. Borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.


Based on our Borrowing Base as of March 31,June 30, 2021 and letters of credit, we had approximately $512.0$462.0 million borrowing capacity available under the ABL Credit Facility. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings under our ABL Credit Facility was 1.6%1.5% and 2.7%1.9% during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. There were 0was $30 million of outstanding borrowings on our ABL Credit Facility as of March 31,June 30, 2021 and 0 outstanding borrowings as of December 31, 2020.

On October 15, 2018,During the second quarter of 2021, we entered into a $550.0utilized proceeds from the offerings of the 2026 Notes to repay $387.6 million senior securedof principal outstanding on our term loan B (the “Term Loan”) pursuant to a credit agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”). The Term Loan, which we entered into on October 15, 2018 and is scheduled to mature on January 15, 2024, at which time2024. The repayment was applied to eliminate the remaining outstanding balance under the Term Loan will be due and payable. Principalquarterly principal payments of $1.4 million are due quarterly.that were previously required. The Term Loan bears interest based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a margin of 5% or a base rate plus a margin of 4%. Debt extinguishment costs in conjunction with the partial repayment of the Term Loan were $6.2 million, which included unamortized debt issuance costs and discount and is recorded in Loss on debt extinguishment for three months ended June 30, 2021 on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The On April 15, 2021, we repaid the remaining $55.6 million aggregate principle of our 8.875% Debentures using a draw oncredit agreements for our ABL Credit Facility.


On April 28, 2021, we completed an offering of $400 million aggregate principal amount of 6.125% senior secured notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”). The Notes are general senior secured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed by our domestic, wholly-owned subsidiaries that are guarantors of the ABL Credit Facility and Term Loan. Interest on the 2026 Notes is payable semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year, commencing on November 1, 2021. The Notes mature on November 1, 2026.

The ABL Credit Agreement”)and Term Loan (the "Term Loan Credit Agreement,Agreement"), and the indenture for the 2026 Notes (the “2026 Notes Indenture”) contain customary affirmative and negative covenants including negative covenants restricting, among other things, our ability to incur or guarantee debt, or issue preferred stock, make certain loans or investments, make certain restricted payments (including payments on certain other debt, external dividends, and stock repurchases), incur liens securing other debt, consummate certain fundamental transactions, enter into certain transactions with affiliates and consummate asset sales. The ABL Credit Agreement contains a covenant which requires us to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0 if availability under the ABL Credit Facility declines below certain levels. The Term Loan Credit Agreement and the 2026 Notes Indenture require that the net cash proceeds of significant asset sales be used to prepay the Term Loan and purchase the 2026 Notes to the extent that the net cash proceeds are not used for reinvestment in assets useful to our business, certain acquisitions and investments, repayment of certain borrowings under our ABL Credit Facility or to reduce, prepay, repay or purchase certain indebtedness, in each case, subject to certain restrictions and limitations set forth in the Term Loan Credit Agreement and the 2026 Notes Indenture.

Interest paid was $22.9$31.7 million and $54.6 million for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 and $23.5$44.3 million and $67.8 million for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020.

Interest income was $0.4$0.3 million and $0.7 million for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 and $0.5$0.4 million and $0.9 million for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020.   

16. Derivatives

All derivatives are recorded as other current or noncurrent assets or other current or noncurrent liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at their respective fair values. Unrealized gains and losses related to derivatives are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, or in other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable income taxes, depending on the purpose for which the derivative is held. At the inception of a hedge transaction, we formally document the hedge relationship and the risk management objective for undertaking the hedge. In addition, we assess both at inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivative in the hedging transaction has been highly effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedged item and whether the derivative is expected to continue to be highly effective. The impact of any ineffectiveness is also recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

We are exposed to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations based on our global operations. Foreign currency fluctuations affect the U.S. dollar value of revenues earned and expenses incurred in foreign currencies. We are also exposed to currency risk to the extent we own assets or incur liabilities, or enter into other transactions that are not in the functional currency of the subsidiary in which we operate. We employ different practices to manage these risks, including where appropriate the use of derivative instruments, such as foreign currency forwards. To the extent the gains and losses associated with the fair values of foreign currency derivatives are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, they are generally offset by gains and losses on underlying payables and receivables. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The aggregate notional value of the forward contracts at March 31,June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $363.3$268.7 million and $220.7 million, respectively. The fair values of foreign currency contracts were determined to be Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy and are valued using market exchange rates.     


In 2019 and 2020, we entered into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate risk exposure, effectively changing the interest rate on $400.0 million of our floating-rate Term Loan based on LIBOR to a fixed-rate. The interest rate swaps, with a notional value of $400.0 million, were designated as cash flow hedges against the variability of cash flows associated with our Term Loan scheduled to mature on January 15, 2024, which are attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate. In the second quarter of 2021, we terminated interest rate swap agreements with a notional value of $300.0 million in conjunction with the partial repayment of our Term Loan. The termination of these agreements resulted in a loss of $9.2 million recorded within interest expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

 

The fair valuesvalue of the remaining $100.0 million interest rate swaps wereswap was determined to be Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy and werewas developed using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future variable cash payments and the discounted expected fixed cash receipts. Credit valuation adjustments, which consider the impact of any credit enhancements to the contracts, are incorporated in the fair valuesvalue to account for potential nonperformance risk. We evaluate the credit value adjustments of the interest rate swap agreements,agreement, which take into account the possibility of counterparty and our own default, on at least a quarterly basis.

 


Our foreign currency contracts and interest rate swapsswap are subject to master netting agreements that allow us to settle positive and negative positions with the respective counterparties. Under these master netting agreements, net settlement generally permits us or the counterparty to determine the net amount payable for contracts due on the same date and in the same currency for similar types of derivative transactions. The master netting agreements generally also provide for net settlement of all outstanding contracts with a counterparty in the case of an event of default or a termination event.

 

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

As of March 31,June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the fair values of our derivative financial instruments and their classifications on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were as follows:

17. New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12 “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740)” (“ASU 2019-12”), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions to the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740 related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The standard also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. ASU 2019-12 is effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, however early adoption was permitted. We adopted ASU 2019-12 on January 1, 2021 and will reflectthe changes as appropriate, and no changes are necessary to earlier periods.did not have a material impact on our income tax provision.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued and Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform, which provides companies with optional guidance, including expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts and other transactions affected by reference rate reform, such as LIBOR, was effective upon issuance and will be applied to future contracts with changes to the reference rate.  To date, we have had no such modification to any of our contracts. We are currently evaluating the prospective impact of the standard, and we will adopt ASU 2020-04 upon such contract modification. The impact of the standard is not expected to be material to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Executive Overview

Response to COVID-19

 

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic created, and continues to create, significant business challenges for companies around the world, including many of our clients across the broad number of industries we serve. In response to the pandemic, we established a formal operating plan that we are utilizing to manage our business through this challenging global business environment.  Our operating plan consists of three very clear priorities: to protect the health and safety of our employees, to sustain operational and supply chain continuity, and to effectively manage our business performance and liquidity throughout this very volatile period.

 


 

EMPLOYEES HEALTH AND SAFETY

 

We are continually evolving our policies and procedures to adhere to the latest best practices being provided by the Centers for Disease Control (“CDC”) and World Health Organization (“WHO”). Our cross-functional COVID Task Force created at the onset of the pandemic has developed safety measures, policies, and procedures for our workplace. We have implemented flexible working policies, including telecommuting and staggered shifts, while allowing for voluntary leaves of absence. Currently, approximately 10,000We recently have begun to welcome employees including those providing essential services are working from home. Forback into our offices we have developedin a cautious and phased approach for slowly and cautiously ending remote work arrangements when deemed practical.approach. We are also enforcingcontinue to enforce social distancing policies within all of our facilities, require unvaccinated employees to wear face coverings, and we are providingprovide training for adherence to personal hygiene best practices in line with CDC and WHO guidelines. In response to the CDC recommendation that all individuals in the U.S. wear face masks, we are supplying our essential employees with a combination of disposable and cloth masks, as well as face shields, to ensure their safety and protection.

 

SUPPLY CHAIN CONTINUITY

 

We have activated our business continuity plans and are leveraging our strong supply chain partnerships to continue to meet the ongoing needs of our 30,000 global clients. We remain fully operational across the 28 countries in which we operate.

 

BUSINESS IMPACT

 

Although the COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the Company’s financial results in 2020, and continues to impact our performancecreate some challenges in 2021, we believe that there are three primary factors that are helping mitigate the top line impact from the pandemic. These factors include our diverse portfolio of products and services, the lack of client concentration, and the products and services we have introduced to meet the evolving needs of our clients. 

 

The extent to which the pandemic will continue to impact our business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows will depend on future developments which remain highly uncertain and cannot be fully predicted or estimated at this time. However, amidst the global uncertainty posed by COVID-19, we are positioning the Company to weather the economic downturnuncertainty and protect the short and long-term interests of our stakeholders. Continuing into 2021, we remain laser-focused on lowering our cost structure and on cash generation.maintaining a sufficient level of liquidity.

FirstSecond Quarter Overview

Net sales decreasedincreased by $43.8$136.0 million, or 3.6%13.5%, for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, representing our lowest rate of quarterly decline in net sales since the COVID-19 pandemic first impacted our global operations. First2020. Second quarter net sales were favorably impacted by $14.5$21.7 million due to favorable changes in foreign exchange rates and were unfavorably impacted by $6.5 millionrates. Net sales also increased due to higher volume reflectingstrengthening demand for most of our products and services. Notably, higher demand for e-commerce sales have contributed to thegrowth in our Packaging and Labels products. The increase also reflects continued recovery from the Chile business closure in 2020. In addition to these factors, net sales decreased due to the on-going effects of theCOVID-19 pandemic, andpartially offset by last year’s Census project, which was completed in mid-2020. This was partially offset by continued strength in several of our strategic growth products and services including packaging, labels, and supply chain management.

Income from operations for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 was $25.1$28.2 million, a decreasean increase of $8.0$47.2 million compared to a loss of $19.0 million for the prior year.year period. The decreaseincrease was primarily driven primarily by higher sales, cost control initiatives and lower sales.restructuring and impairment expenses, partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange rates and higher incentive compensation.

We continue to assess opportunities to reduce our cost structure and enhance productivity throughout the business. During the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, we realized significant cost savings from recent and previous restructuring activities including the reorganization of administrative and support functions across all segments, several facility consolidations, and asset rationalization. These savings were partially offset by the effect of unfavorable exchange rates and higher incentive compensation expense. Selling, general and administrative expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) decreased by $6.6 million, or 4.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.rates.

Net cash used in operating activities for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 was $18.9$64.8 million as compared to $79.6$44.2 million used in operating activities for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020. The significant improvementincrease in 2021 was primarily driven by working capital improvements.

While we have$23.9 million of LSC bankruptcy related payments primarily associated with lump sum settlements of two MEPP plans, higher tax and incentive compensation payments, and a diversified client base with limited concentration, we do have clients that operate in industries hard-hit by the effects of the pandemic, including airlines, hotel chains, cruise lines, and restaurants.  During the first quarter, we continued$9.2 million payment to see softer demand from these clients as they work to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on their business. Softer demand from these clients isterminate certain interest rates swaps, partially offset by new work we continue to win, particularly in the healthcare space.lower restructuring and interest payments.


Outlook

 

As COVID-19 infection rates remain elevated in many parts of the world, the year aheadWhile client demand for our products and services continues to present many uncertainties. strengthen, ongoing challenges including labor shortages, supply chain disruption, inflationary increases and shipping delays caused by container shortages in key ports including China, remain. These issues, combined with the ongoing uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic, create added challenges when predicting future business performance. Excluding the unpredictable impact from changes in foreign exchange rates and the possible impact from future inflation and labor availability,unpredictability related to these factors, we continue tonow expect net sales for 2021 to be flatup by 1% to up low single digits3% taking into consideration reductions from the ending of the 2020 Census project and one-time pandemic related projects completed in 2020 offset by a modestfurther economic recovery as the year progresses.


Our outlook assumes that the U.S. economy and the economies of the foreign countries in which we operate will continue to recover from the economic effects of COVID-19, although the recovery may be uneven given the uncertainty of the pandemic. Our outlook also assumes that we will be able to pass on to our clients a substantial majority of material price increases, and that we will not experience any substantial operational outages related to labor shortages and supply chain interruptions. We continue to leverage our client relationships in order to provide a larger share of their communications needs. In addition, we expect to continue cost control and productivity initiatives, including selected facility consolidations and asset rationalizations.

We initiated several restructuring actions during the past three years to further reduce our overall cost structure. These restructuring actions included the closures of manufacturing facilities as well as the reorganization and consolidation of certain operations. These and future cost reduction actions are expected to have a positive impact on operating earnings in 2021 and in future years. In addition, we expect to implement other cost reduction opportunities, which may result in additional restructuring charges. These restructuring actions will be funded by cash generated from operations and cash on hand or, if necessary, by utilizing our credit facilities.

The increase also reflects continued recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by last year’s Census project, which was completed in mid-2020.

Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased $110.8 million, or 13.6%, to $928.1 million versus the same period in 2020. Total cost of sales increased primarily due to higher volume across most of our products and services and higher cost of raw materials, partially offset by the favorable impact of cost reduction activities.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $5.0 million to $143.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 versus the same period in 2020 primarily as a result of increased incentive compensation expense, largely attributable to the increase in our stock price and unfavorable exchange rates, partially offset by cost control initiatives.

Net interest expense increased by $3.9 million to $38.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 versus the same period in 2020. Net interest expense included $9.2 million related to the termination of certain interest rate swaps. Refer to Note 16 – Derivatives within the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion. Excluding the effects of the swap termination, our interest expense decreased approximately $5 million primarily due to prior repurchases and repayment of higher interest rate debt and lower average borrowings and interest rates on the ABL Credit Facility.

The loss on debt extinguishment in the three month period ended June 30, 2021 primarily resulted from the write-off of debt issuance costs and discount related to the Term Loan.

Investment and other income-net for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $4.9 million and $3.4 million respectively, primarily comprised of net OPEB and pension income.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We believe that we have sufficient liquidity to support our ongoing operations and to invest in future growth to create value for our stockholders. Our operating cash flows, existing cash balances and available capacity under our asset-based senior secured revolving credit facility (the “ABL Credit Facility”) are our primary sources of liquidity and are expected to be used for, among other things, capital expenditures, necessary to support productivity, completion of restructuring programs and payment of interest and principal on our long-term debt obligations.

Operating cash inflows are largely attributable to sales of our products and services. Operating cash outflows are largely attributable to recurring expenditures for raw materials, labor, rent, interest, taxes and other operating activities.

Net cash used in operating activities was $18.9$64.8 million compared to $79.6$44.2 million in 2020. The improvementincrease in cash used in operating activities2021 was driven by $23.9 million of LSC bankruptcy related payments primarily dueassociated with lump sum settlements of two MEPP plans, higher tax and incentive compensation payments, and a $9.2 million payment to working capital improvements.

Proceeds from issuances of long-term debt during the six months ended June 30, 2021 reflects the issuance of $450 million of 6.125% senior secured notes due 2026 during the second quarter. Payments of current maturities and long-term debt in the first quarterhalf of 2021 primarily reflects the repayment of $387.6 million of principal on the Term Loan and the repayment of $55.6 million of the debentures that matured on April 15, 2021. Payments of current maturities and long-term debt in the first half of 2020 representsrepresent repurchases of outstanding debt with maturities from 2020 to 2024 along with the repayment of the remaining balance of the notes that matured on June 15, 2020. We had no$30 million of borrowings outstanding under our ABL Credit Facility at the end of the firstsecond quarter of 2021. In the first quarterhalf of 2020, we increased our borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility to retain financial flexibility in light of the emerging COVID-19 pandemic.

LIQUIDITY

Cash and cash equivalents of $261.6$237.2 million as of March 31,June 30, 2021 included $24.1$24.3 million in the U.S. and $237.5$212.9 million at international locations. Included in Cash and cash equivalents at March 31,June 30, 2021 were $24.6$23.4 million of short-term investments, which primarily consisted of short-term deposits and money market funds. These investments are held at institutions with sound credit ratings and are expected to be highly liquid. We maintain cash pooling structures that enable participating international locations to draw on our international 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 our short-term borrowing costs or for other purposes. In future years, Aass a result of the Tax Act, we have further opportunities to repatriate foreign cash, primarily generated from current year earnings, in a tax efficient manner.

Total available liquidity does not include credit facilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries, which are uncommitted facilities.

The failure of a financial institution supporting the ABL Credit Facility would reduce the size of our committed facility unless a replacement institution was added. At March 31,June 30, 2021, the ABL Credit Facility was supported by eight U.S. financial institutions.

On March 10, 2021, Moody’s Investors Service changed our outlook to stable from negative and affirmed our ratings. On March 18, 2021, Standard & Poor’s changed our outlook to stable from negative and affirmed our ratings.

 

On April 16, 2021, we amended the ABL Credit AgreementFacility to, among other things, reduce the aggregate commitments under the ABL Credit Facility from $800 million to $650 million and extend the maturity date from September 29, 2022 to April 16, 2026.

On April 28, 2021, we completed an offering of $4002026 and reduce the aggregate commitments from $800 million aggregate principal amount of 6.125% senior secured notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”). The 2026 Notes are general senior secured obligations of the Company and will be guaranteed by our domestic, wholly-owned subsidiaries that guarantee the Company’s Term Loan and ABL Credit Facility.


The Company used the net proceeds from the 2026 Notes offering to repay approximately $338$650 million aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan, with the remainder to repay a portion of the borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes. We also intend to terminate $300 million of interest rate swaps related to the Term Loan, and expect to record approximately $9 million in expenses associated with the termination during the second quarter of 2021..

Dispositions

During the fourth quarter of 2017, we entered into an agreement to sell a printing facility in Shenzhen, China and transfer the related land use rights. As of March 31,June 30, 2021, we have received deposits in accordance with the terms of the agreement of approximately $123.3 million. These deposits are recorded in Other noncurrent liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In accordance with the agreement, additional scheduled deposits are required to be paid to us with the final payment due in 2022. The buyer continuesclosing date of the final sales transaction is uncertain at this time due to work to obtain the necessary approvals fromuncertainty around the timing of the regulatory process including government regarding their plans to redevelop the site.approvals. Gross proceeds from the sale are expected to be approximately $250.0 million, subject to changes in the exchange rate,rate.and we expect the transaction to close in 2022 after closing conditions are satisfied and government approvals are obtained. Our contract with the buyer requires them to pay the final installment in 2022 even if the government’s approval is further delayed. If the buyer fails to comply with terms of the agreement or terminates for any reason, we are entitled to retain 30% of the purchase price as liquidated damages. As of March 31,June 30, 2021, the carrying cost of the building and land use rights is recorded in Other noncurrent assets and is not material.

Dividends

On April 6, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company made a decision to suspend all dividends payments as part of the Company’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. See Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Executive Overview, Response to COVID-19 Section for further discussion.


MANAGEMENT OF MARKET RISK

We are exposed to interest rate risk on our variable debt and price risk on our fixed-rate debt. Including the effect of the floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps (see Note 16, Derivatives, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), approximately 91.0%95.0% of our outstanding debt was comprised of fixed-rate debt as of March 31,June 30, 2021.

We assess market risk based on changes in interest rates utilizing a sensitivity analysis that measures the potential loss in earnings, fair values and cash flows based on a hypothetical 10% change in interest rates. Using this sensitivity analysis, such changes would not have a material effect on interest income or expense and cash flows and would change the fair values of fixed-rate debt at March 31,June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 by approximately $20.7$30.7 million and $23.7 million, respectively.

We are exposed to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations based on our global operations. Foreign currency fluctuations affect the U.S. dollar value of revenues earned and expenses incurred in foreign currencies. We are also exposed to currency risk to the extent we own assets or incur liabilities, or enter into other transactions that are not in the functional currency of the subsidiary in which we operate. We employ different practices to manage these risks, including where appropriate the use of derivative instruments, such as foreign currency forwards. As of March 31,June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the aggregate notional amount of outstanding foreign currency contracts was approximately $363.3$268.7 million and $220.7 million, respectively (see Note 16, Derivatives, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). The net unrealized lossgain from these foreign currency contracts were $3.3was $1.9 million at March 31,June 30, 2021 and the net unrealized gain was $3.6 million at December 31, 2020. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

The following important factors, in addition to those discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and under the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, could affect our future results and could cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements:

 

adverse changes in global economic conditions and the resulting effect on the businesses of our clients, including changes related to COVID-19;

 

demand for our products and services, including fluctuating orders specifically related to COVID-19;

 

adverse changes in global economic conditions and the resulting effect on the businesses of our clients;

our ability to make payments on, reduce or extinguish any of our material indebtedness;

 

supply chain issues, including changes in the availability or costs of key materials (such as ink, and paper) or increases in shipping costs; additionally, shipping quotas imposed by major carriers such as Fedex and UPS may impact our cost of shipping and our ability to timely fulfil orders;

 

our ability to improve operating efficiency rapidly enough to meet market conditions;

 

impairment of assets as a result of a decline in our individual reporting units’ expected profitability;

 

our ability and/or our vendors’ ability to implement and maintain information technology and security measures sufficient to protect against breaches and data leakage or the failure to properly use and protect customer, Company and employee information and data, particularly in light of the increased prevalence of remote working arrangements during COVID-19;

 

a failure in or breach of data held in the computer systems we and our vendors maintain;

 

increased pricing pressure as a result of the competitive environment in which we operate;

 

our ability to execute on our portfolio optimization strategies, including potential sales of non-core assets;

 

increasing health care and benefits costs for employees and retirees;

 

changes in our pension and OPEB obligations;

 

adverse trends or events in our operations outside of the United States;

 

the effect of inflation, changes in currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates;

 

catastrophic events which may damage our facilities or otherwise disrupt the business;


 

the effect of changes in laws and regulations, including changes in accounting standards, trade, tax, environmental compliance, health and welfare benefits, price controls and other regulatory matters and the cost, which could be substantial, of complying with these laws and regulations;

 

changes in the regulations applicable to our clients, which may adversely impact demand for our products and services;

 

factors that affect client demand, including changes in postal rates, postal regulations and service levels, changes in the capital markets, changes in advertising markets, clients’ budgetary constraints and changes in clients’ short-range and long-range plans;

 

failures or errors in our products and services;

 

changes in technology, including electronic substitution and migration of paper based documents to digital data formats, and our ability to adapt to these changes;

 

inability to hire and retain a skilled and diverse workforce;

 

potential contingent obligations related to leases, multiemployer pension plan liabilities, environmental liabilities, and other liabilities associated with the bankruptcy of LSC;

 

the spinoffs resulting in significant tax liability; and

 

other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in our filings with the SEC.

Because forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. There may be other risks and uncertainties that we are unable to identify at this time or that we do not currently expect to have a material impact on the business. Undue reliance should not be placed on such statements, which speak only as of the date of this document or the date of any document that may be incorporated by reference into this document.


Consequently, readers of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should consider these forward-looking statements only as our current plans, estimates and beliefs. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect any new events or any change in conditions or circumstances.

Disclosure controls and procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As of March 31,June 30, 2021, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31,June 30, 2021 were effective in ensuring information required to be disclosed in our SEC reports was recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information was accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

We have not experienced any material impact to our internal controls over financial reporting despite the fact that most of our employees are working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are continually monitoring and assessing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our internal controls to ensure they remain effective.
