Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	'
	Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Nature of Operations—Quad/Graphics, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company" or "Quad/Graphics") operates primarily in the commercial print portion of the printing industry as a printer of consumer magazines, catalogs, retail inserts, special interest publications, journals, direct mail, books, directories, in-store marketing, packaging, and other commercial and specialty printed products. The Company also provides media solutions and logistics services for its customers. The Company's products and services are sold primarily throughout the United States, Europe and Latin America to catalogers, publishers and retailers. Additionally, the Company manufactures printing-related auxiliary equipment that is sold to original equipment manufacturers and printing companies throughout the world.
	Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation—The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned controlled subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The results of operations and accounts of businesses acquired are included in the consolidated financial statements from the dates of acquisition (see Note 3, "Acquisitions and Strategic Investments"). Investments in entities where the Company has both the ability to exert significant influence but not control and an ownership interest of 50% or less but more than 20% are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Investments in entities where the Company does not exert significant influence or control and has an ownership interest of less than 20% are accounted for using the cost method of accounting. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Discontinued Operations—The results of operations of the Company's Canadian operations have been reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. As the sale of the Canadian operations was completed on March 1, 2012, the corresponding Canadian assets and liabilities are no longer included in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2013 or 2012. In accordance with the authoritative literature, the Company has elected to not separately disclose the cash flows related to the Canadian discontinued operations. See Note 4, "Discontinued Operations," for information about the Company's sale of the Canadian operations.
	Foreign Operations—Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate existing at the respective balance sheet dates. Income and expense items are translated at the average rates during the respective periods. Translation adjustments resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the consolidated statements of redeemable equity, common stock and other equity and noncontrolling interests while transaction gains and losses are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations. Foreign exchange transactions resulted in gains/(losses) of $(5.7) million, $0.4 million and $(4.5) million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company's international operations are conducted in Europe through Quad/Winkowski Sp. Z o.o. ("Quad/Winkowski"), as well as in the following Latin American countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru. The Company owns 85% of certain operations in Argentina, consolidates those amounts into the Company's consolidated financial statements and presents the 15% not owned by the Company as noncontrolling interest. The Company owns 49% of the operations in Brazil and 50% of the operations in Chile, and accounts for those entities using the equity method of accounting (see Note 11, "Equity Method Investments in Unconsolidated Entities," for further discussion). There are no other significant noncontrolling interests or unconsolidated entities.
	Use of Estimates—The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires the use of management's estimates and assumptions that affect the reported assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for items and matters including, but not limited to: allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory obsolescence, asset valuations and useful lives, goodwill, pension and postretirement benefits, self-insurance reserves, stock-based compensation, taxes, restructuring and other provisions and contingencies.
	Revenue Recognition—The Company recognizes its printing revenues upon transfer of title and the passage of risk of loss, which is generally upon shipment to the customer. Under agreements with certain customers, products may be stored by the Company for future delivery. In these situations, the Company may receive warehouse management fees for the services it provides. In certain of these cases, delivery and billing schedules are outlined in the customer agreement and product revenue is recognized when manufacturing is complete, title and risk of loss transfer to the customer, and there is a reasonable assurance as to collectability. Product returns are not significant because the majority of products are customized; however, the Company accrues for the estimated amount of customer allowances at the time of sale based on historical experience and known trends.
	Revenue from services is recognized as services are performed. Revenues related to the Company's imaging operations, which include digital content management, photography, color services and page production, are recognized in accordance with the terms of the contract, typically upon completion of the performed service and acceptance by the customer. Revenues related to the Company's logistics operations, which includes the delivery of printed material, are recognized upon completion of the delivery of services.
	The Company also manufactures printing-related auxiliary equipment to ensure industry-leading technology for its own printing operations, as well as to sell to other businesses. Revenue is generally recognized for the equipment sales at time of shipment. Revenue from services related to the installation of equipment at customer sites are recognized upon completion of the installation. Payments can be received from customers during the manufacture of equipment and prior to shipment or in the case of the installation services prior to completion of the installation. In all cases when payments are received in advance of meeting the applicable revenue recognition criteria, deferred revenue is recorded until the criteria for revenue recognition are subsequently met.
	Services account for greater than 10% of the Company's consolidated net sales; therefore, net sales and related costs of sales of products and services have been included as separate line items in the consolidated statements of operations.
	Certain revenues earned by the Company require judgment to determine if revenue should be recorded gross as a principal or net of related costs as an agent. Billings for third-party shipping and handling costs, primarily in the Company's logistics operations, and out-of-pocket expenses are recorded gross in net sales and cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations. Many of the Company's operations process materials, primarily paper, that may be supplied directly by customers or may be purchased by the Company and sold to customers. No revenue is recognized for customer-supplied paper. Revenues for Company-supplied paper are recognized on a gross basis.
	Byproduct Recoveries—The Company records the sale of byproducts as net product sales in the consolidated statements of operations.
	Financial Instruments—The Company uses derivative financial instruments for the purpose of hedging commodity and foreign exchange exposures that exist as part of ongoing business operations, including natural gas forward purchase contracts and foreign exchange contracts. As a policy, the Company does not engage in speculative or leveraged transactions, nor does the Company hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.
	Derivative instruments are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as either assets or liabilities measured at their fair value. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and recognized in the consolidated statements of operations when the hedged item affects earnings.
	The ineffective portions of the changes in the fair value of hedges are recognized in earnings. Cash flows from derivatives that are accounted for as cash flow or fair value hedges are included in the consolidated statements of cash flows in the same category as the item being hedged.
	Fair Value Measurement—The Company applies fair value accounting for all assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in its consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis. Fair value represents the amount that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities that are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. See Note 18, "Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements," for further discussion.
	Research and Development—Research and development costs related to the development of new products or the adaptation of existing products are expensed as incurred, included in cost of sales and totaled $13.4 million, $13.2 million and $16.9 million during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents—The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
	Receivables—Receivables are stated net of allowances for doubtful accounts. No single customer comprised more than 5% of the Company's consolidated net sales in 2013, 2012 or 2011 or 5% of the Company's consolidated receivables as of December 31, 2013 or 2012. Specific customer provisions are made when a review of significant outstanding amounts, utilizing information about customer creditworthiness and current economic trends, indicates that collection is doubtful. In addition, provisions are made at differing rates, based upon the age of the receivable and the Company's historical collection experience. See Note 7, "Receivables," for further discussion on the transactions affecting the allowances for doubtful accounts.
	Inventories—Inventories include material, labor, and plant overhead and are stated at the lower of cost or market. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, all inventories were valued using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method. See Note 8, "Inventories," for a breakdown of the components of the Company's inventories.
	Property, Plant and Equipment—Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, and are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. See Note 9, "Property, Plant and Equipment," for a breakdown of the components of the Company's property, plant and equipment. Major improvements that extend the useful lives of existing assets are capitalized and charged to the asset accounts. Repairs and maintenance, which do not significantly improve or extend the useful lives of the respective assets, are expensed as incurred. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the respective asset.
	Asset Category	Range of Useful Lives
	Buildings	10 to 40 Years
	Machinery and equipment	5 to 15 Years
	Other	3 to 10 Years
	Other Intangible Assets—Identifiable intangible assets are recognized apart from goodwill and are amortized over their estimated useful lives.
	Impairment of Long-Lived and Other Intangible Assets—The Company evaluates long-lived assets and other intangible assets (of which the most significant are property, plant and equipment and customer relationship intangible assets) whenever events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Determining whether impairment has occurred typically requires various estimates and assumptions, including determining which cash flows are directly related to the potentially impaired asset, the useful life over which cash flows will occur, their amount and the asset's residual value, if any. In turn, measurement of an impairment loss requires a determination of recoverability, which is generally estimated by the ability to recover the balance of the assets from expected future operating cash flows on an undiscounted basis. If impairment is determined to exist, any related impairment loss is calculated based on the difference in the fair value and carrying value of the asset.
	Goodwill—Goodwill is reviewed annually for impairment as of October 31, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is below its carrying value. In performing this analysis, the Company compares each reporting unit's fair value estimated based on comparable company market valuations and/or expected future discounted cash flows to be generated by the reporting unit to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, the Company performs a fair value measurement calculation to determine the impairment loss, which would be charged to operations in the period identified. See Note 6, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," for further discussion.
	Income Taxes—The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of items reported in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the effective date of enactment.
	The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent the Company believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. This determination is based upon all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and recent financial operations. If the Company determines that a deferred income tax asset will not be fully realized in the future, then a valuation allowance is established or increased to reflect the amount at which the asset will more likely than not be realized, which would increase the Company's provision for income taxes. In a period after a valuation allowance has been established, if the Company determines the related deferred income tax assets will be realized in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, then an adjustment to reduce the related valuation allowance will be made, which would reduce the Company's provision for income taxes.
	The Company is regularly audited by foreign and domestic tax authorities. These audits occasionally result in proposed assessments where the ultimate resolution might result in the Company owing additional taxes, including in some cases, penalties and interest. The Company recognizes a tax position in its consolidated financial statements when it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. This recognized tax position is then measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty-percent likely of being recognized upon ultimate settlement. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.
	The determination of the Company's worldwide tax provision and related tax assets and liabilities requires the use of significant judgment, estimates, and the interpretation of complex tax laws. In the ordinary course of business, there are transactions and calculations where the final tax outcome is uncertain. While the Company believes it has the appropriate support for the positions taken, certain positions may be successfully challenged by taxing authorities. The Company applies the provisions of the authoritative guidance on accounting for uncertain tax positions to determine the appropriate amount of tax benefits to be recognized with respect to uncertain tax positions. The determination of the Company's worldwide tax provision includes the impact of any changes to the amount of tax benefits recognized with respect to uncertain tax positions. See Note 15, "Income Taxes," for further discussion.
	Pension and Postretirement Plans—The Company assumed certain underfunded defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit plans as part of the 2010 World Color Press acquisition. Pension plan costs are determined using actuarial methods and are funded through contributions. The Company records amounts relating to its pension and postretirement benefit plans based on calculations which include various actuarial assumptions including discount rates, mortality, assumed rates of return, compensation increases, turnover rates and health care cost trend rates. The Company reviews its actuarial assumptions on an annual basis and modifies the assumptions based on current rates and trends when it is appropriate to do so. The effects of modifications are recognized immediately on the consolidated balance sheets, but are generally amortized into operating income over future periods, with the deferred amount recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company believes that the assumptions utilized in recording its obligations under its plans are reasonable based on its experience, market conditions and input from its actuaries and investment advisors. For the purposes of calculating the expected return on plan assets, those assets are valued at fair value. When an event gives rise to both a curtailment and a settlement, the curtailment is accounted for prior to the settlement. The Company's measurement date to measure the defined benefit plan assets and the projected benefit obligation is December 31.
	In addition, as a result of the acquisition of World Color Press, the Company participated in multiemployer pension plans ("MEPPs"). Due to the significant underfunded status of the MEPPs, the Company has withdrawn from all significant MEPPs and replaced these union sponsored “promise to pay in the future” defined benefit plans with a Company sponsored “pay as you go” defined contribution plan, which is historically the form of retirement benefit provided to Quad/Graphics employees. As a result of the decision to withdraw, the Company recorded an estimated withdrawal liability for the MEPPs as part of the purchase price allocation process based on information received from the MEPPs trustees. The estimated withdrawal liability will be updated as new withdrawal liability projections are provided from each plan's trustees until the final withdrawal liability is determined and paid. The exact amount of its withdrawal liability could be higher or lower than the estimate depending on, among other things, the nature and timing of any triggering events and the funded status of the plans at that time. See Note 20, "Employee Retirement Plans," for further discussion.
	Stock-Based Compensation—The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense over the vesting period for all stock-based awards made to employees and directors based on the fair value of the instrument at the time of grant. See Note 22, "Equity Incentive Programs," for further discussion.
	Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)—Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consists of unrecognized actuarial gains and losses and prior service costs for pension and postretirement plans and foreign currency translation adjustments and is presented in the consolidated statements of redeemable equity, common stock and other equity and noncontrolling interests. See Note 24, "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)," for further discussion.
	Supplemental Cash Flow Information—Certain supplemental cash flow information related to the Company consists of the following at December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011:
		2013			2012			2011
	Interest paid, net of amounts capitalized	$	74.2		$	75.5		$	94.4

	New Accounting Pronouncements
	In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued new guidance on the accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or group of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity. Under this new guidance, the release of cumulative translation adjustments into net income is required when an entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest resulting in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. This guidance is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2013, and determined that it did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	In February 2013, the FASB issued new guidance on the disclosure requirements for items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. Under this new guidance, an entity is required to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional details about those amounts. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2013. The adoption of this guidance does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income, and did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. See Note 24, "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)," for the required disclosure.

	2013 Acquisitions and Strategic Investments
	On December 18, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of Wisconsin-based Proteus Packaging (“Proteus”) as well as its sister company Transpak Corporation (“Transpak”), for $49.1 million. Payments of $43.1 million were made at the close date and the remaining $6.0 million of purchase price represents the Company's current estimate for a deferred payment to be made in 2014 based upon the finalization of the valuation of the net assets. The $6.0 million deferred payment is recorded in accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.
	Proteus is a designer and manufacturer of high-end paperboard packaging, offering packaging solutions for a wide variety of industries, including automotive, biotechnology, food, personal care, pharmaceuticals, software and electronics. Transpak is a full-service industrial packaging company, offering crating, packaging, warehousing, distribution and logistics services to destinations worldwide.
	This acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The Company recorded the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the acquired tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of the acquisition date. Goodwill resulting from this acquisition, which is deductible for tax purposes, has been recorded within the United States Print and Related Services segment based on the amount by which the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the net assets acquired. The preliminary purchase price allocation is as follows:
			Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation
	Accounts receivable		$	4.4
	Other current assets		5.9
	Property, plant and accrued liabilities		13.3
	Identifiable intangible assets		24
	Accounts payable and accrued liabilities		(3.7		)
	Other long-term liabilities		(2.8		)
	Goodwill		8
	Preliminary purchase price		$	49.1
	The preliminary purchase price allocation is based on valuations performed to determine the fair value of the net assets as of the acquisition date. The valuation of the net assets acquired of $49.1 million was classified as Level 3 in the valuation hierarchy (see Note 18, "Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements," for the definition of Level 3 inputs). Identifiable customer relationship intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over six years. The results of operations of the acquired businesses have been included since the acquisition date in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Pro forma information related to this acquisition is not included because the impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations is considered to be immaterial. Proteus' and Transpak's operations are included in the United States Print and Related Services segment.
	On November 7, 2013, the Company completed the $13.5 million acquisition of Novia CareClinics, LLC ("Novia"), an Indianapolis, Indiana healthcare solutions company. Novia develops and manages onsite and shared primary care clinics for small to medium sized companies and the public sector, such as school districts and city and county governments. Of the $13.5 million purchase price, $13.0 million has been recorded for identifiable customer relationship intangible assets through the preliminary purchase price allocation. Identifiable customer relationship intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over six years. Pro forma information related to this acquisition is not included because the impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations is considered to be immaterial. Novia's operations are included in the United States Print and Related Services segment.
	On January 16, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Vertis Holdings Inc. (“Vertis”) for $265.4 million, pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement (“Asset Agreement”). Vertis was a leading provider of retail advertising inserts, direct marketing and in-store marketing solutions. The acquisition of Vertis enhanced the Company's position as a leader in the production of retail advertising inserts, direct marketing and in-store marketing solutions that the Company can provide to its clients and enhanced its integrated offerings. The purchase of Vertis was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting under GAAP. As an asset acquisition, the Company did not acquire certain assets and assume certain liabilities of Vertis and its subsidiaries in the transaction, including, among other liabilities, their underfunded pension and retirement obligations. The Company used cash on hand and borrowings under its revolving credit facility to finance the acquisition.
	In October, 2012, the Company made a $25.9 million deposit to be held in escrow, in accordance with the terms of the Asset Agreement. As of December 31, 2012, the deposit was classified in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. This deposit was applied to the purchase price upon the January 16, 2013 consummation of the acquisition.
	To facilitate the intended sale, Vertis, along with its subsidiaries, filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code and, at the same time, filed documents seeking the U.S. Bankruptcy Court's approval of the proposed Asset Agreement to the Company. Completion of the acquisition was subject to such U.S. Bankruptcy Court approval as well as customary conditions and regulatory approvals, including the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976.
	The Asset Agreement with the Company comprised the initial stalking horse bid in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court-supervised auction process under Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Vertis and its advisors evaluated any competing bids that were submitted in order to ensure it received the highest and best offer for its assets. On November 26, 2012 Vertis filed a notice with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court naming Quad/Graphics as the successful bidder. On December 6, 2012, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court approved the sale agreement with Vertis. The acquisition was completed on January 16, 2013.
	The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information presents the Company's results as if the Company had acquired Vertis on January 1, 2012. The unaudited pro forma information has been prepared with the following considerations:
	-1	The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting under existing GAAP. The Company is the acquirer for accounting purposes.
	-2	The pro forma combined financial information does not reflect any operating cost synergy savings that the combined company may achieve as a result of the acquisition, the costs necessary to achieve these operating synergy savings or additional charges necessary as a result of the integration.
			Year Ended December 31,
			2013			2012
			(pro forma)			(pro forma)
	Pro forma net sales		$	4,834.00		$	5,166.70
	Pro forma net earnings from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders		28.7			59
	Pro forma diluted earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders		0.58			1.18
	During the period under Quad/Graphics ownership, Vertis' financial results were included in the consolidated statements of operations. Vertis' operations are included in the United States Print and Related Services segment. Disclosure of the financial results of Vertis since the acquisition date is not practicable as it is not being operated as a standalone business, and has been combined with the Company's existing operations.
	The Company recorded the allocation of the purchase price to tangible and identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including certain contingent liabilities, based on their fair values as of the January 16, 2013 acquisition date. The final purchase price allocation is as follows:
			Purchase Price Allocation
	Cash and cash equivalents		$	4.1
	Accounts receivable		133.4
	Other current assets		40.5
	Property, plant and equipment		127.8
	Identifiable intangible assets		25.6
	Current liabilities		(54.0		)
	Other long-term liabilities		(12.0		)
	Purchase price		$	265.4
	The allocation of the purchase price and unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is based on valuations performed to determine the fair value of the net assets as of the acquisition date. The valuation of the net assets acquired of $265.4 million was classified as Level 3 in the valuation hierarchy (see Note 18, "Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements," for the definition of Level 3 inputs). Identifiable customer relationship intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over six years.
	2012 Acquisitions and Strategic Investments
	On March 28, 2012, the Company entered into a strategic partnership with India-based Manipal Technologies Limited ("ManipalTech") whereby Quad/Graphics paid $18.1 million for a minority equity ownership interest in ManipalTech. ManipalTech is one of India's largest providers of printing services and supports clients' marketing, branding and communication needs through print services and technology solutions. The Company's investment in ManipalTech is accounted for as a cost method investment and is recorded within other long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheets.
	2011 Acquisitions and Strategic Investments
	On July 12, 2011, the Company and Transcontinental Inc. ("Transcontinental") entered into a definitive agreement whereby Quad/Graphics acquired 100% of Transcontinental's Mexican operations in exchange for the Company's Canadian operations. Transcontinental's Mexican operations printed magazines, catalogs, retail inserts, books and other printed materials, and employed approximately 900 people among its three facilities in Azcapotzalco, Toluca and Xochimilco, Mexico. The Transcontinental Mexican operations are included within the International segment.
	The Company completed the acquisition of Transcontinental's Mexican operations on September 8, 2011, and completed the sale of the Company's Canadian operations on March 1, 2012. See Note 4, "Discontinued Operations," for further discussion of the sale of the Canadian discontinued operations.
	In connection with the acquisition of Transcontinental's Mexican operations, the definitive agreement required the Company to deposit 50.0 million Canadian dollars with Transcontinental until the Canadian operations sale was completed. The Company elected to hedge the foreign currency exchange rate exposure related to the 50.0 million Canadian dollar deposit by entering into short-term foreign currency forward exchange contracts. The Company hedged this foreign currency exposure until the March 1, 2012, sale of Canadian net assets and refund of the 50.0 million Canadian dollar deposit occurred. During the year ended December 31, 2012, $1.6 million of realized mark-to-market losses on the derivative contracts were offset by $1.6 million of transaction gains on translation of the foreign currency denominated deposit within selling, general and administrative expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2011, $0.5 million of unrealized mark-to-market loss and $2.2 million of realized mark-to-market gain on the derivative contracts were offset by the $1.7 million transaction losses on translation of the foreign currency denominated deposit within selling, general and administrative expenses. The fair value determination of the foreign currency forward exchange contracts was categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 18, "Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements," for the definition of Level 2 inputs).
	The Company's determination of the Mexican acquired operations' fair value was $63.6 million. Of the $63.6 million purchase price, $6.1 million was paid in cash ($1.2 million was paid in 2011 and $4.9 million was paid in 2012). The remaining purchase price of $57.5 million was satisfied by the exchange transaction of the Company's Canadian business.
	This acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The Company recorded the allocation of the purchase price to the acquired tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of the acquisition date. Goodwill resulting from this acquisition, none of which is deductible for tax purposes, has been recorded within the International segment based on the amount by which the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the net assets acquired. The final purchase price allocation is as follows:
			Purchase Price Allocation
	Accounts receivable		$	15.3
	Other current assets		11.9
	Property, plant and equipment		35.7
	Identifiable intangible assets		4.6
	Other long-term assets		0.5
	Accounts payable and accrued liabilities		(14.9		)
	Other long-term liabilities		(0.6		)
	Goodwill		11.1
	Purchase price		$	63.6
	The purchase price allocation is based on valuations performed to determine the fair value of the net assets as of the acquisition date. The purchase price of $63.6 million was estimated by utilizing a discounted cash flow model, following an income approach that incorporates various assumptions including expected future revenue growth, profit margins, capital expenditures, working capital levels and a weighted-average cost of capital. The nonrecurring fair value measurement was classified as Level 3 in the valuation hierarchy (see Note 18, "Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements," for the definition of Level 3 inputs). Purchased identifiable intangible assets will be amortized on a straight-line basis over six years. The results of operations of the acquired businesses have been included since the respective dates of acquisition in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Pro forma information related to the acquisition is not included because the impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations is considered to be immaterial.

	Discontinued Operations
	On March 1, 2012, the Company completed the sale of its Canadian operations to Transcontinental (see Note 3, "Acquisitions and Strategic Investments," for a description of the business exchange transaction). Transcontinental assumed pension and post-retirement obligations pertaining to approximately 1,500 Canadian employees, located among the seven facilities sold to Transcontinental. The gain on disposal of discontinued operations, net of tax, was finalized in 2012, and determined as follows:
			As of
			31-Dec-12
	Fair value of the acquired Transcontinental Mexican operations		$	63.6
	Cash paid to Transcontinental		(6.1		)
	Net proceeds		57.5
	Net assets of discontinued operations		(27.2		)
	Cumulative translation adjustment of discontinued operations		3.7
	Gain on disposal of discontinued operations, net of tax(1)		$	34
	______________________________
	-1	For tax purposes the disposal of discontinued operations resulted in a long-term capital loss, for which a deferred tax asset was recorded. An offsetting valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset was recorded to reflect the expected value at which the asset will be recovered.
	As the sale of the Canadian operations was completed on March 1, 2012, there were no results of operations of the Canadian operations for the year ended December 31, 2013. The following table summarizes the results of operations of the Canadian operations, which are included in the loss from discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011:
			Year Ended December 31,
			2012			2011
	Total net sales		$	32.2		$	343.9
	Loss from discontinued operations before income taxes		(3.2		)	(34.2		)
	Income tax expense		—			4.4
	Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax		$	(3.2	)	$	(38.6	)
	Prior to the March 1, 2012 closing, the Company continued to execute restructuring events related to plant closures, workforce reductions and other restructuring initiatives, as well as transaction costs related to the sale of the Canadian operations. Due to these initiatives, the Company has recognized $1.7 million and $45.1 million in restructuring, impairment and transaction-related costs for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, within discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations. The 2011 restructuring expense included a $17.9 million charge to recognize a pension curtailment loss and a $13.9 million goodwill impairment charge in the third quarter of 2011 for the pending sale of the Canadian discontinued operations due to the carrying value of the Canadian net assets exceeding the estimated fair value of the Mexican net assets acquired from Transcontinental.

	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
	Goodwill is tested annually for impairment as of October 31 or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is below its carrying value. The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment assessment of the United States and Latin America reporting units, which included comparing the carrying amount of net assets, including goodwill, of each reporting unit to its respective fair value as of October 31, 2013, the annual assessment date. The European reporting unit does not have goodwill associated with it.
	Fair value was determined using an equal weighting of both the income and market approaches. This fair value determination was categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 18, "Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements," for the definition of Level 3 inputs). Under the income approach, the Company determined fair value based on estimated future cash flows discounted by an estimated weighted-average cost of capital, which reflects the overall level of inherent risk and the rate of return an outside investor would expect to earn. Under the market approach, the Company derived the fair value of the reporting units based on market multiples of comparable publicly-traded companies. Management concluded that no impairment existed as of October 31, 2013, because the estimated fair value of each of the Company's United States and Latin America reporting units exceeded the respective carrying amounts. The fair value of the reporting units exceed their respective carrying values by greater than ten percent. No additional indications of impairment have been identified between October 31, 2013, and December 31, 2013.
	Goodwill at December 31, 2013 and 2012 did not include any accumulated impairment losses. No goodwill impairment was recorded related to continuing operations during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 or 2011. However, a $13.9 million goodwill impairment was recorded related to the Canadian discontinued operations in the year ended December 31, 2011 (see Note 4, "Discontinued Operations," for further information).

The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization within other intangible assets—net in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2013 and 2012, differs from the value originally recorded at purchase due to the effects of currency fluctuations between the purchase date and December 31, 2013 and 2012.

	The Company has a 49% ownership interest in Plural Editora e Gráfica ("Plural"), a commercial printer based in São Paulo, Brazil, and a 50% ownership interest in Quad/Graphics Chile S.A. ("Chile"), a commercial printer based in Santiago, Chile. The Company's ownership interest in Plural and Chile is accounted for using the equity method of accounting for all periods presented.
	On January 1, 2013, the Company sold 100% of its ownership interest in two wholly-owned Brazilian entities (Quad/Graphics Nordeste Industria Gráfica LTDA. and Quad/Graphics São Paulo Industria Gráfica S.A.) to Plural for a purchase price of $5.5 million (recorded in receivables in the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013). Quad/Graphics retained ownership of the land and building which are leased to Plural. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded a $2.8 million gain on the sale within selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. As a result of the sale to Plural, the Company no longer controls these entities (the Company now owns 49% of these entities through its ownership interest in Plural), and thus the assets and liabilities of the entities sold have been deconsolidated in accordance with GAAP. Since the sale to Plural, the Company's ownership interest in the results of operations of these entities are included in equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated entities in the consolidated statements of operations.
	The Company's equity earnings of Plural's and Chile's operations are recorded in the line item entitled equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated entities in the Company's consolidated statements of operations, and is included within the International segment.

	The Company continues to manage the bankruptcy claim settlement process for the Quebecor World Inc. ("QWI") bankruptcy proceedings in the United States and Canada (QWI changed its name to "World Color Press Inc." upon emerging from bankruptcy on July 21, 2009). To the extent claims are allowed, the holders of such claims are entitled to receive recovery, with the nature of such recovery dependent upon the type and classification of such claims. In this regard, with respect to certain types of claims, the holders thereof are entitled to receive cash and/or unsecured notes, while the holders of certain other types of claims are entitled to receive a combination of Quad/Graphics common stock and cash, in accordance with the terms of the World Color Press acquisition agreement.
	With respect to claims asserted by the holders thereof as being entitled to a priority cash recovery, the Company has estimated that approximately $2.5 million and $9.3 million of such recorded claims have yet to be paid as of December 31, 2013, and December 31, 2012, respectively, and this obligation is classified as amounts owing in satisfaction of bankruptcy claims in the consolidated balance sheets.
	With respect to unsecured claims held by creditors of the operating subsidiary debtors of Quebecor World (USA) Inc. (the "Class 3 Claims"), each allowed Class 3 Claim will be entitled to receive an unsecured note in an amount not to exceed 50% of such creditor's allowed Class 3 Claim, provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount of all such unsecured notes cannot exceed $75.0 million. In the event that the total of all allowed Class 3 Claims exceeds $150.0 million, each creditor holding an allowed Class 3 Claim will receive its pro rata share of $75.0 million of the unsecured notes issued, together with accrued interest and a 5% prepayment redemption premium thereon (the total of which is $89.2 million). In connection with the World Color Press acquisition, the Company was required to deposit the maximum potential payout to the Class 3 Claim creditors of $89.2 million with a trustee, and that amount will remain with the trustee until either (1) it is paid to a creditor for an allowed Class 3 Claim or (2) upon all Class 3 Claims being resolved any excess amount will revert to the Company. In the year ended December 31, 2013, $4.5 million was paid to Class 3 Claim creditors. At December 31, 2013, $56.0 million remains and is classified as restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheets (see Note 10, "Restricted Cash"). Based on the Company's analysis of the outstanding claims, the Company has a liability of $18.0 million at December 31, 2013, classified as unsecured notes to be issued in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
		Restricted Cash			Unsecured Notes to be Issued
	Balance at January 1, 2012	$	75.4		$	38.7
	Class 3 Claim payments during 2012	(14.9		)	(14.9		)
	Balance at December 31, 2012	$	60.5		$	23.8

	Non-cash adjustments	—			(1.3		)
	Balance at December 31, 2013	$	56		$	18
	While the liabilities recorded for any bankruptcy matters are based on management's current assessment of the amount likely to be paid, it is not possible to identify the final amount of priority cash claims or the amount of Class 3 Claims that will ultimately be allowed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. Therefore, amounts owing in satisfaction of bankruptcy claims on the consolidated balance sheets could be materially higher than the amounts estimated, which would require additional cash payments to be made for the amount exceeding the Company's estimate. Amounts payable related to the unsecured notes could reach the maximum aggregate principal amount of $75.0 million, which would not require an additional cash payment as the maximum potential exposure has already been funded in trust, but would require additional liability and expense to be recorded as the Company's estimate of total Class 3 Claim liability is $51.2 million ($33.2 million paid plus the $18.0 million remaining estimated liability as of December 31, 2013). In light of the substantial number and amount of claims filed, the claims resolution process will take considerable time to complete.

	-1	As a result of the sale of the Company's two wholly-owned Brazilian subsidiaries as discussed in Note 11, "Equity Method Investments in Unconsolidated Entities," the Company reduced the valuation allowance by $21.3 million (such amount was previously established against the subsidiaries' deferred tax assets that were not expected to be realized).
	The net deferred tax assets (liabilities) above are classified on the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2013 and 2012 as follows:
			2013				2012
	Current net deferred tax asset		$	48.1			$	55.7
	Non-current net deferred tax liability		(395.2		)		(363.9		)
	Total		$	(347.1	)		$	(308.2	)
	At December 31, 2013, the Company had foreign net operating loss carry forwards of $141.9 million and state net operating loss carry forwards of $642.3 million. Of the foreign net operating loss carry forwards, $46.6 million are available without expiration, while the remainder expire through 2023. The state net operating loss carry forwards expire in varying amounts through 2033. The Company also has $45.1 million of various state credit carry forwards, of which $30.8 million are available without expiration, while the remainder expire through 2028. At December 31, 2013, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $151.5 million against $60.3 million, $41.5 million and $49.7 million of federal, foreign and state deferred tax assets, respectively, that are not expected to be realized.
On September 13, 2013, the IRS released final tangible property regulations under Sections 162(a) and 263(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and proposed regulations under Section 168 of the Internal Revenue Code. These regulations generally apply to all taxpayers that acquire, produce, or improve tangible property. Based upon preliminary analysis, the Company does not expect that the adoption of these regulations will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
The Company considers its foreign earnings to be indefinitely invested. Accordingly, the Company does not currently provide for the additional United States and foreign income taxes which would become payable upon remission of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries. The cumulative undistributed earnings of such subsidiaries at December 31, 2013, are not material.
Uncertain Tax Positions
The following table summarizes the activity of the Company's liability for unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011:
		2013				2012				2011
Balance at beginning of period		$	46.5			$	106			$	129.7
Additions due to acquisitions		—				22.9				0.3
Additions for tax positions of the current year		0.1				—				—
Additions for tax positions of prior years		0.7				15.2				5.4
Reductions for tax positions of prior years		(0.5		)		(76.3		)		(1.4		)
Settlements during the period		(2.1		)		(7.8		)		(1.4		)
Lapses of applicable statutes of limitations		(0.2		)		(13.5		)		(1.2		)
Reclassify Canadian uncertain tax positions to discontinued operations		—				—				(25.4		)
Balance at end of period		$	44.5			$	46.5			$	106
As of December 31, 2013, $44.5 million of unrecognized tax benefits would impact the Company's effective tax rate, if recognized. Of that amount, it is reasonably possible that $13.4 million of the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will decrease within 12 months due to resolution of audits or statute expirations.
During 2012, the Company settled pre-acquisition World Color Press income tax examinations with the IRS resulting in a net income tax benefit of $30.0 million. Included in this net benefit is $75.7 million related to a reduction for uncertain tax positions of prior years. In addition to the impact on the Company's uncertain tax positions, settlement of the examinations required an adjustment to certain tax attributes of the Company. The impact of the adjustments to these tax attributes resulted in a net income tax expense of $46.7 million.
The Company classifies interest expense and any related penalties related to income tax uncertainties as a component of income tax expense. The total interest (income) expense related to tax uncertainties recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $(1.0) million, $(1.1) million and $(0.7) million, respectively. Penalties in the amount of $(0.2) million, $0 and $(0.1) million were recognized for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Accrued interest of $0.1 million and $2.3 million related to income tax uncertainties was reported as a component of other current liabilities and accrued interest of $4.0 million and $2.8 million related to income tax uncertainties was reported as a component of other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. There were no accrued penalties related to income tax uncertainties reported in other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2013. Accrued penalties of $0.5 million related to income tax uncertainties were reported in other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012. Accrued penalties of $0.5 million and $0.4 million related to income tax uncertainties were reported in other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The Company has tax years from 2010 through 2013 that remain open and subject to examination by the IRS. Tax years from 2003 through 2013 remain open and subject to examination in the Company's various major state jurisdictions within the United States.

	______________________________
	-1	These senior notes have a weighted-average interest rate of 7.47%, which is fixed to maturity, with interest payable semiannually. Principal payments commenced September 1997 and extend through April 2036 in various tranches. The notes are collateralized by certain United States land, buildings and press and finishing equipment under the terms of the master note and security agreement.
	-2	On July 26, 2011, and as last amended on December 19, 2012, the Company entered into a $1.5 billion debt financing agreement with certain lenders to reduce the Company's borrowing costs with lower interest rates and to create more flexibility with a higher revolving credit capacity and improvement in financial terms. The $1.5 billion debt financing agreement includes three different loan facilities, a Term Loan A, a Term Loan B, and a revolving credit facility.
	The revolving credit facility in the amount of $850.0 million and the Term Loan A in the aggregate amount of $450.0 million each had an initial term of five years that was extended an additional year as part of the December 19, 2012 amendment to mature on July 25, 2017. The Term Loan B in the amount of $200.0 million (net of a $1.0 million original issue discount) has a term of seven years maturing on July 25, 2018, subject to certain required amortization.
	Borrowings under the revolving facility and Term Loan A loans made under the $1.5 billion debt financing agreement bear interest at London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 2.25%, or 1.25% in excess of an alternate base rate, and Term Loan B loans bear interest at LIBOR plus 3.00%, with a LIBOR floor of 1.00%, or 2.00% in excess of an alternative base rate at the Company's option. At December 31, 2013, the Company had borrowings of $209.8 million on the revolving credit agreement, as well as $44.0 million of issued letters of credit, leaving $596.2 million available for future borrowings.
	The proceeds from the Term Loan A, Term Loan B and revolving credit facility were used to repay all outstanding balances and terminate the Company's previous $1.23 billion debt financing agreement (which included the $700.0 million term loan and the $530.0 million revolving credit facility), as well as to pay the new debt issuance costs incurred for the refinancing. The $1.5 billion debt financing agreement is secured by substantially all of the assets in the United States that are not encumbered under the Company's other financing agreements.
	The Company recognized a $34.0 million loss on debt extinguishment during the year ended December 31, 2011, in connection with the July 26, 2011 $1.5 billion debt financing agreement. The loss was comprised of: (1) $20.9 million of debt issuance costs from the terminated $1.23 billion debt financing agreement, (2) $8.9 million of remaining original issue discount from the terminated $1.23 billion debt financing agreement and (3) $4.2 million of debt issuance costs from the $1.5 billion debt financing agreement. The $34.0 million loss was classified as loss on debt extinguishment in the consolidated statements of operations.
	-3	On December 16, 2008, debt related to the Company's international operations was refinanced by entering into a secured credit agreement ("Facilities Agreement"). The Facilities Agreement includes a Euro denominated term loan and a multicurrency revolving credit facility. The term loan principal payments commenced in December 2009 and it matures on December 16, 2015. The multicurrency revolving credit facility used for financing working capital and general business needs, was renewed in 2013 and will expire on December 16, 2014. At December 31, 2013, the Company's international operations had borrowings of $2.3 million under the multicurrency revolving credit facility, leaving $14.3 million available for future borrowing. The terms of the Facilities Agreement include certain financial covenants, a guarantee of the Facilities Agreement by the Company and a security agreement that includes collateralizing substantially all of the Quad/Winkowski assets. The facilities bear interest at the aggregate of the Warsaw Interbank Offered Rate ("WIBOR") or the Euro Interbank Offered Rate ("EURIBOR") and margin.
	-4	During 2013, the Company refinanced certain equipment leases with $17.1 million in equipment term loans secured by the formerly leased equipment. The equipment term loans bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.75%, require quarterly payments and have five year terms expiring during 2018. The purchase of these assets resulted in $12.8 million of non-cash investing and financing activities, which represents the $17.1 million in equipment term loans net of $4.3 million of eliminated capital lease obligations (see Note 1, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies").
	Based upon the interest rates available to the Company for borrowings with similar terms and maturities, the fair value of the Company's total debt was approximately $1.4 billion and $1.3 billion at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The fair value determination of the Company's total debt was categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 18, "Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements," for the definition of Level 2 inputs). As of December 31, 2013, approximately $3.0 billion of the Company's assets were pledged as security under various loans and other agreements.
	Debt Issuance Costs
	Activity impacting the Company's debt issuance costs for the years ended December 31, 2013, and 2012, was as follows:
			Capitalized Debt Issuance Costs
	Balance at January 1, 2012		$	20.2
	Debt issuance costs paid from December 2012 amendment(1)		2.1
	Amortization		(4.4		)
	Balance at December 31, 2012		$	17.9
	Amortization		(4.0		)
	Balance at December 31, 2013		$	13.9
	______________________________
	-1	The Company incurred $2.1 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the December 19, 2012, $1.5 billion debt financing agreement amendment for the extension of the maturity dates on the $850.0 million revolving credit facility and the $450.0 million Term Loan A. These debt issuance costs have been accounted for as capitalized debt issuance costs and are classified as other long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the five year lives of the related debt instruments.
	Amortization expense for debt issuance costs was $4.0 million, $4.4 million and $7.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
	Covenants and Compliance
	As of December 31, 2013, the Company's various lending arrangements included certain financial covenants (all financial terms, numbers and ratios are as defined in the Company's debt agreements). Among these covenants, the Company was required to maintain the following as of December 31, 2013 (for each covenant, the most restrictive measurement has been included below):
	•	On a rolling twelve-month basis, the total leverage ratio, defined as total consolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the debt agreement), shall not exceed 3.50 to 1.00 (for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, the Company's leverage ratio was 2.39 to 1.00).
	•	On a rolling twelve-month basis, the minimum interest coverage ratio, defined as consolidated EBITDA to consolidated cash interest expense, shall not be less than 3.50 to 1.00 (for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, the Company's interest coverage ratio was 7.34 to 1.00).
	•	On a rolling twelve-month basis, the fixed charge coverage ratio, defined as consolidated EBITDA and rent expense to interest and rent expense, shall not be less than 1.50 to 1.00 (for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, the Company's fixed charge coverage ratio was 4.26 to 1.00).
	•	Consolidated net worth of at least $745.8 million plus 40% of positive consolidated net income cumulatively for each year. As of December 31, 2013, consolidated net worth must be at least $793.9 million (as of December 31, 2013, the Company's consolidated net worth under the most restrictive covenant per the various debt agreements was $1.21 billion).
	In addition to those covenants, the $1.5 billion debt financing agreement also includes certain limitations on acquisitions, indebtedness, liens, dividends and repurchases of capital stock. If the Company's total leverage ratio is greater than 3.00 to 1.00 (total leverage ratio as defined in the debt financing agreement), the Company is prohibited from making greater than $120.0 million of annual dividend payments, capital stock repurchases and certain other payments. If the total leverage ratio is less than 3.00 to 1.00, there are no such restrictions.
	Approximate annual principal amounts due on long-term debt are as follows during the years ending December 31:
	2014		$	127.6
	2015		163.3
	2016		116

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]	'
Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements	'
	Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
	Certain assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, while other assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, generally as a result of acquisitions or impairment charges. Fair value is determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. GAAP also classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:
	Level 1:	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
	Level 2:	Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.
	Level 3:	Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. There are no Level 3 recurring measurements of assets or liabilities as of December 31, 2013.
	The Company records the fair value of its forward contracts and pension plan assets on a recurring basis. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, inventories, restricted cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and amounts owing in satisfaction of bankruptcy claims approximate their carrying values as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. See Note 16, "Debt," for further discussion on the fair value of the Company's debt and Note 20, "Employee Retirement Plans," for the details of Level 1 and Level 2 inputs related to Employee Retirement Plans.
	In addition to assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company is required to record certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, generally as a result of acquisitions or the remeasurement of assets resulting in impairment charges. See Note 3, "Acquisitions and Strategic Investments," for further discussion on acquisitions or Note 5, "Restructuring, Impairment and Transaction-Related Charges," for further discussion on impairment charges recorded as a result of the remeasurement of certain long-lived assets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.
	The Company has operations in countries that have transactions outside their functional currencies and periodically enters into foreign exchange contracts. These contracts are used to hedge the net exposures of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and are designated as either cash flow hedges or fair value hedges. Gains or losses on net foreign currency hedges are intended to offset losses or gains on the underlying net exposures in an effort to reduce the earnings volatility resulting from fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates.
	The Company periodically enters into natural gas forward purchase contracts to hedge against increases in commodity costs. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company's commodity contracts qualified for the exception related to normal purchases and sales as the Company takes delivery in the normal course of business.
	The Company settled the short-term foreign currency forward exchange contract to hedge exchange rate exposure on the 50.0 million Canadian dollars deposit related to the Transcontinental Mexico acquisition on March 1, 2012 (see Note 3, "Acquisitions and Strategic Investments"). There were no open foreign currency exchange contracts as of December 31, 2013. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, there was no impact of hedge ineffectiveness on the consolidated statements of operations.

	Employee Retirement Plans
	Defined Contribution Plans
	The Quad/Graphics Diversified Plan is comprised of participant directed 401(k) contributions, Company match and profit sharing-contributions. Company 401(k) matching contributions were $13.2 million, $11.9 million and $12.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Quad/Graphics Employee Stock Ownership Plan holds profit sharing contributions of Company stock, which are made at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors. There were no profit sharing contributions for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. The annual profit sharing contributions totaled $13.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.
	Defined Benefit Plans and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans
	The Company sponsors various funded and unfunded pension plans for a portion of its full-time employees in the U.S. and Canada. Benefits are generally based upon years of service and compensation. These plans are funded in conformity with the applicable government regulations. The Company funds at least the minimum amount required for all qualified plans using actuarial cost methods and assumptions acceptable under government regulations. In addition to pension benefits, the Company provides certain healthcare and life insurance benefits for some retired employees.
	The components of the net periodic pension and postretirement benefit expense (income) for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 are as follows:
			Pension Benefits											Postretirement Benefits
			2013				2012				2011			2013				2012			2011

	The underfunded pension and postretirement obligations are calculated using generally accepted actuarial methods and are measured as of December 31. The following provides a reconciliation of the projected benefit obligation, fair value of plan assets and the funded status of the pension and postretirement plans as of December 31, 2013 and 2012:

	The following table provides a reconciliation of the Company's accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) prior to any deferred tax effects at December 31, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:
			Pension Benefits				Postretirement Benefits

	In 2013, the Company paid out lump sums to participants that exceeded the threshold for settlement accounting, which resulted in an acceleration of the recognition of accumulated other comprehensive income and a settlement gain of $2.1 million. The settlement gain was recorded in restructuring, impairment and transaction-related charges in the consolidated statement of operations.
	In 2012, the Company announced the elimination of life insurance coverage for all current and future retirees in all locations and the elimination of reimbursement of medical costs for certain retirees, which resulted in the reduction of plan obligations by $5.7 million. In addition, the Company also announced the elimination of postretirement medical benefit coverage for all future retirees who will retire after December 31, 2012, which resulted in the reduction of plan obligations by $16.9 million and recognition of a curtailment gain of $12.8 million. The curtailment gain was recorded in restructuring, impairment and transaction-related charges in the consolidated statement of operations.
	Actuarial gains and losses in excess of 10% of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or the market-related value of plan assets are recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the average remaining service period of a plan's active employees. Unrecognized prior service costs or credit are also recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost over the average remaining service period of a plan's active employees. The amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) that are expected to be recognized as components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit expense (income) over the next year are as follows:
			Pension Expense (Income)				Postretirement Expense (Income)
	Amortization of:
	Net actuarial gain		$	(0.1	)		$	(0.3	)
	Net prior service credit		—				(5.7		)
	Total		$	(0.1	)		$	(6.0	)
	The weighted-average assumptions, separately for the pension and postretirement benefit plans, used to determine net periodic benefit costs for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 were as follows:
		Pension Benefits									Postretirement Benefits
		2013			2012			2011			2013		2012			2011
Discount rate (beginning of year rate)		3.9	%		4.7	%		5.2	%		2.8	%	3.7	%		4.2	%
Rate of compensation increase		N/A			N/A			3.5	%		N/A		N/A			3.5	%
Expected long-term return on plan assets		6.5	%		6.5	%		6.5	%		N/A		N/A			N/A
The weighted-average assumptions, separately for the pension and postretirement benefit plans, used to determine benefit obligations at December 31, 2013 and 2012 were as follows:
		Pension Benefits						Postretirement Benefits
		2013			2012			2013			2012
Discount rate (end of year rate)		4.8	%		3.9	%		3.6	%		2.8	%
The Company determines its assumed discount rate based on an index of high-quality corporate bond yields and matched-funding yield curve analysis as of the measurement date.
The assumed health care cost trend rate used in measuring the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was 7.5% at the end of 2013, and is expected to gradually decline through 2024 to an ultimate trend rate of 5.0%. A one-percentage point change in assumed health care cost trend rates would have the following effects:
		1% Increase				1% Decrease
Total postretirement benefits income		$	—			$	—
Postretirement benefits obligation		0.1				(0.1		)
Estimated Company Contributions and Benefit Payments
In 2014, the Company expects to make cash contributions of $39.7 million to its qualified defined benefit pension plans and make estimated benefit payments of $4.9 million to its non-qualified defined benefit pension and postretirement plans. The actual pension contributions may differ based on the funding calculations, and the Company may choose to make additional discretionary contributions. The estimated benefit payments may differ based on actual claim experience.
Estimated Future Benefit Payments by the Plans to or on behalf of Plan Participants
An estimate of the Plans' future benefit payments to be made from funded qualified plans and unfunded non-qualified and postretirement plans to plan participants are as follows:
		Pension Benefits				Postretirement Benefits
2014		$	41.4			$	0.8
2015		38.9				0.6
2016		38				0.4

2019 – 2023		201.9				1.3
Thereafter		236.9				0.3
Total		$	635.2			$	4
Plan Assets and Investment Strategy
The Company follows a disciplined investment strategy, which provides diversification of investments by asset class, foreign currency, sector and company. The Pension Committee has approved investment policies for the different pension plans that establish long-term asset mix targets based on several factors including: historical returns achieved by worldwide investment markets, the time horizon of the pension plans' obligations and the investment risk. For each of the plans, an allocation range by asset class is developed whereby a mix of equities and fixed-income investments is used to provide an appropriate risk-adjusted long-term return on plan assets. Third-party investment managers are employed to invest assets in both passively-indexed and actively-managed strategies and investment returns and risks are monitored on an ongoing basis. Derivatives are used at certain times to hedge foreign currency exposure. Gains or losses on the derivatives are offset by a corresponding change in the value of the hedged assets. Derivatives are strictly used for hedging purposes and not speculative purposes.
The target allocations for plan assets on a weighted-average basis are 65% equity securities and 35% fixed-income, including cash and cash equivalents. The actual asset allocation as of December 31, 2013, was approximately 67% equity securities and 33% debt securities. The actual asset allocation as of December 31, 2012, was approximately 64% equity securities, 35% debt securities and 1% other. Equity investments are diversified by country, issuer and industry sector. Fixed income securities primarily consist of government bonds and corporate bonds from diversified industries.
The expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption is selected by first identifying the expected range of long-term rates of return for each major asset class. Expected long-term rates of return are developed based on long-term historical averages, current expectations of future returns and anticipated inflation rates. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is then calculated by weighting each asset class. To the extent that individual pension plans have different target asset mixes, the expected long-term rate of return on assets may differ across plans.
The fair values of the Company's pension plan assets at December 31, 2013 and 2012 by asset category are as follows:
		December 31, 2013															December 31, 2012
Asset Category		Total				Level 1				Level 2			Level 3				Total			Level 1			Level 2		Level 3
Cash and cash equivalents		$	0.3			$	0.3			$	—		$	—			$	0.4		$	0.4		$	—	$	—
Fixed income		171.5				—				171.5			—				162.1			—			162.1		—
Equities		353.4				122.9				230.5			—				295			270.8			24.2		—
Others		—				—				—			—				1.4			—			1.4		—
Total		$	525.2			$	123.2			$	402		$	—			$	458.9		$	271.2		$	187.7	$	—
There are no Level 3 assets or liabilities as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.
The Company segregated its plan assets by the following major categories and levels for determining their fair value as of December 31, 2013:
Cash and cash equivalents. Carrying value approximates fair value and these assets are classified as Level 1.
Fixed Income. This category consists of bonds and short-term fixed income securities fair valued based on a compilation of primarily observable market information or broker quotes in over-the-counter markets and are classified as Level 2.
Equities. This category consists of equity investments and equity pooled funds and these assets are classified as Level 1 and Level 2, respectively. The fair value of equity investments is based on quoted prices in an active market. The fair value of the equity pooled funds is based on the funds' Net Asset Value ("NAV") established by the funds' administrator.
The valuation methodologies described above may generate a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or future fair values. While the Company believes the valuation methodologies used are appropriate, the use of different methodologies or assumptions in calculating fair value could result in different amounts. The Company invests in various assets in which valuation is determined by NAV. The Company believes that NAV is representative of fair value at the reporting date, as there are no significant restrictions on redemption on these investments or other reasons to indicate that the investment would be redeemed at an amount different than NAV.
Risk Management
For all directly invested funds, the concentration risk is monitored through specific guidelines in the investment manager mandates. The investment manager mandates were developed by the Company's external investment advisor, and specify diversification standards such as the maximum exposure per issuer, and concentration limits per type of security, industry and country when applicable.
For the investments made through pooled funds, the investment mandates of the funds were again reviewed by the Company's external investment advisor, to determine that the investment objectives and guidelines were consistent with the Company's overall pension plan risk management objectives. In managing the plan assets, management reviews and manages risk associated with funded status risk, interest rate risk, market risk, counterparty risk, liquidity risk and operational risk. Liability management and asset class diversification are central to the Company's risk management approach and are integral to the overall investment strategy.
Given the process in place to ensure a proper diversification of the portfolio, management believes that the Company pension plan assets are not exposed to significant concentration risk.
Multiemployer Pension Plans
The Company participates in a number of MEPPs under terms of collective bargaining agreements that cover a number of its employees. The risks of participating in these MEPPs are different from single employer plans in the following aspects:
•	Assets contributed to the MEPPs by one company may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating companies.
•	If a participating company stops contributing to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating companies.
•	If the Company stops participating in some or all of its MEPPs, and continues in business, the Company would be required to pay an amount, referred to as a withdrawal liability, based on the unfunded status of the plan.
The Company has withdrawn from all significant MEPPs and replaced these union sponsored “promise to pay in the future” defined benefit plans with a Company sponsored “pay as you go” defined contribution plan. The two MEPPs, the Graphic Communications International Union - Employer Retirement Fund (“GCIU”) and the Graphic Communications Conference of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters National Pension Fund (“GCC”), are significantly underfunded, and will require the Company to pay a withdrawal liability to fund its pro rata share of the underfunding as of the plan year the full withdrawal was completed. As a result of the decision to withdraw, the Company accrued a $98.6 million estimated withdrawal liability based on information provided by each plan's trustee, as part of the purchase price allocation for World Color Press. The Company is making required interim payments to the MEPPs for the Company's withdrawal liability from the GCIU and the GCC plans.
The GCIU Plan is a defined benefit plan that provides retirement benefits, total and permanent disability benefits, and pre-retirement death benefits for the participating union employees of the Company. The funded status of the GCIU Plan is classified as critical based on the GCIU Plan's 2013 certification to the United States Department of Labor, as the funded percentage for the plan is less than 65% and is projected to have an accumulated funding deficit over the next four plan years. As a result, the GCIU Plan implemented a rehabilitation plan to improve the plan's funded status. The Company estimates that contributions made to the GCIU Plan by the Company represent greater than 5% of total contributions made by all participating employers in the 2012 plan year (the plan year ended December 31, 2012, is the latest available financial information provided by the GCIU Plan).
The GCC Plan is a defined benefit plan that provides retirement benefits, disability benefits, and early retirement benefits for the participating union employees of the Company. The funded status of the GCC Plan is classified as critical based on the GCC Plan's 2013 certification to the United States Department of Labor, as the funded percentage for the plan is less than 65% and is projected to have an accumulated funding deficit over the next four plan years. As a result, the GCC Plan implemented a rehabilitation plan to improve the plan's funded status. The Company estimates that contributions made to the GCC Plan by the Company represent greater than 5% of total contributions made by all participating employers in the 2011 plan year (the plan year ended April 30, 2012, is the latest available financial information provided by the GCC Plan).
The Company has received notices of withdrawal and demand for payment letters for both the GCIU and GCC plans, which, in total are in excess of the $98.6 million in original reserves established by the Company for the withdrawals. The Company is in the process of determining the final withdrawal payment with both MEPPs' administrators, and the withdrawal liability reserved by the Company is within the range of the Company's estimated potential outcomes. During this process the Company began making monthly payments totaling $14.4 million and $11.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, as requested by the MEPPs and as required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, although such payments do not waive the Company's rights to object to the withdrawal liabilities submitted by the GCIU and GCC plan administrators. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has reserved $73.0 million as its estimate of the total MEPPs withdrawal liability, of which $53.1 million is recorded in other long-term liabilities, $14.4 million is recorded in accrued liabilities and $5.5 million is recorded in unsecured notes to be issued in the consolidated balance sheets. This estimate may increase or decrease depending on the final agreement with the MEPPs' administrators.

	Earnings (Loss) Per Share Attributable to Quad/Graphics Common Shareholders
	Basic earnings (loss) per share attributable to Quad/Graphics common shareholders is computed as net earnings (loss) attributable to Quad/Graphics common shareholders less the allocation of participating securities, divided by the basic weighted average common shares outstanding of 47.0 million, 46.8 million and 47.1 million shares for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The calculation of a diluted earnings per share amount includes the effect of any dilutive equity incentive instruments. The Company uses the treasury stock method to calculate the effect of outstanding dilutive equity incentive instruments, which requires the Company to compute total proceeds as the sum of (1) the amount the employee must pay upon exercise of the award, (2) the amount of unearned stock-based compensation costs attributed to future services and (3) the amount of tax benefits, if any, that would be credited to additional paid-in capital assuming exercise of the award. Equity incentive instruments for which the total employee proceeds from exercise exceed the average fair value of the same equity incentive instrument over the period have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share during periods with net earnings from continuing operations, and accordingly, the Company excludes them from the calculation. Anti-dilutive equity incentive instruments of 1.6 million and 3.2 million of class A common shares were excluded from the computations of diluted net earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Due to the net loss from continuing operations attributable to Quad/Graphics common shareholders incurred during the year ended December 31, 2011, the assumed exercise of all equity incentive instruments was anti-dilutive and, therefore, not included in the diluted loss per share attributable to Quad/Graphics common shareholders calculation for that period.
	Unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, are required to be treated as participating securities and included in the computation of earnings (loss) per share pursuant to the two-class method. The Company's participating securities are composed of unvested stock options granted on November 18, 2011, and reduced basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to Quad/Graphics common shareholders by $0.02 and $0.07 per diluted share for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. There was no impact to basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to Quad/Graphics common shareholders during 2011.
	Reconciliations of the numerator and the denominator of the basic and diluted per share computations for the Company's common stock, including the impact of discontinued operations, for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 are summarized as follows:

Stock and Incentive Programs	'
	Equity Incentive Programs
	The shareholders of the Company approved the Quad/Graphics Inc. 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan ("Omnibus Plan") for two complimentary purposes: (1) to attract and retain outstanding individuals to serve as directors, officers and employees and (2) to increase shareholder value. The Omnibus Plan replaced the 1999 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan and the 1990 Stock Option Plan and, as of January 1, 2011, all equity grants are made from the Omnibus Plan. In May 2012 and 2013, an additional 3,571,652 and 2,000,000 shares, respectively, were approved for issuance under the Omnibus Plan, making 7,871,652 shares of Class A stock reserved for issuance under the Omnibus Plan. Awards under the Omnibus Plan may consist of incentive awards, stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, performance share units, shares of class A stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units or other stock-based awards as determined by the Company's board of directors. Each stock option granted has an exercise price of no less than 100% of the fair market value of the class A stock on the date of grant. As of December 31, 2013, there are 2,400,763 shares available for issuance under the Omnibus Plan.
	The Company recognizes compensation expense, based on estimated grant date fair values, for all share-based awards issued to employees and non-employee directors, including stock options, performance shares, performance share units, restricted stock, restricted stock units and deferred stock units. The Company recognizes these compensation costs for only those awards expected to vest, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term of three to four years for performance share and performance share unit awards, restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards, and stock options. The Company estimated the number of awards expected to vest based, in part, on historical forfeiture rates and also based on management's expectations of employee turnover within the specific employee groups receiving each type of award. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods, if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
	Equity Incentive Compensation Expense
	The total compensation expense recognized related to all equity incentive programs was $18.6 million, $13.4 million and $14.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses and restructuring, impairment and transaction-related charges in the consolidated statements of operations. Total future compensation expense related to all equity incentive programs granted as of December 31, 2013, is approximately $19.5 million. Estimated future compensation expense is $14.1 million for 2014 and $5.4 million for 2015.
	Stock Options
	On November 18, 2011, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had approved the termination of the outstanding stock options under the Company's 1990 Stock Option Plan and 1999 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan (the “409A Options”). In accordance with the authoritative literature for the termination and modification of stock options, as of December 31, 2011, the Company recorded a $20.0 million liability for the termination payment, which was based on the number of 409A Options held by the option holders, the Company's weighted volume adjusted stock price of $13.47 as of November 18, 2011, and the exercise price of the 409A Options. The termination payment was paid in December 2012. In addition, in 2011, the Company recorded $6.4 million of incremental stock option expense, which is recorded in restructuring, impairment and transaction-related charges in the consolidated statements of operations.
	The option holders were granted new options under the Omnibus Plan equal to the number of terminated 409A Options held by them. All of the new options were granted at an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair market value of $13.47 per share, and if the exercise price of an option holders' 409A Options was greater than $13.47, then the new options were issued at such greater price. Therefore, none of the new options were granted with an exercise price below fair market value and all of the new options were granted at an exercise price equal to or greater than the corresponding 409A Option that was canceled.
	For new option grants beginning January 1, 2011, options vest over four years, with no vesting in the first year and one-third vesting upon the second, third and fourth anniversary dates. As defined in the individual grant agreements, acceleration of vesting may occur under a change in control, death, disability or normal retirement of the grantee. For the new option grants beginning January 1, 2011, options expire no later than the tenth anniversary of the grant date, twenty-four months after termination for death, thirty-six months after termination for normal retirement or disability and 90 days after termination of employment for any other reason. While stock options granted prior to 2011 were credited with dividend declarations, the new option grants after that time are not credited with dividend declarations, excluding the November 18, 2011 grants. Stock options are only to be granted to employees and will only be granted under the new option grant terms from January 1, 2011 forward.
	There were no stock options granted under the Omnibus plan during the year ended December 31, 2013. There were 448,154 stock options granted with a grant date weighted average fair value of $2.25 during the year ended December 31, 2012. There were 451,029 stock options granted with a grant date weighted average fair value of $13.17 during the year ended December 31, 2011. Excluding the 3,571,652 new options granted on November 18, 2011, the fair market value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing module. The fair market value of the stock options is determined using the following weighted average assumptions for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011:
			2012			2011
	Expected volatility		36.7	%		36	%
	Risk-free interest rate		1.3	%		2.3	%
	Expected life (years)		7			7
	Dividend yield		7.1	%		2	%
	The Company determined expected volatility based on the volatility of comparable company stock. The average risk-free interest rate is based on the United States treasury security rate in effect as of the grant date over the term of the expected life. The expected life is based on the term and vesting period of each grant adjusted for historical experience in vesting.
	Compensation expense recognized related to stock options was $10.8 million, $10.1 million and $12.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Total future compensation expense for all stock options granted as of December 31, 2013, is approximately $7.8 million. Estimated future compensation expense is $7.6 million for 2014 and $0.2 million for 2015.

	Performance Share and Performance Share Units
	Performance share ("PS") and performance share unit ("PSU") awards consist of shares or the rights to shares of the Company's class A stock which are awarded to employees of the Company. These shares are payable upon the determination that the Company achieved certain established performance targets and can range from 0% to 200% of the targeted payout based on the actual results. Shares awarded in 2013 have a performance period of three years ending December 31, 2015. As set forth in the individual grant agreements, acceleration of vesting may occur under a change in control, or death, disability or normal retirement of the grantee. Grantees receiving PS or PSU grants receive full credit for dividends during the vesting period. All such dividends will be paid to the grantee within 45 days of full vesting. Upon vesting, PSUs will be settled either through cash payment equal to the fair market value of the PSUs on the vesting date or through issuance of Company class A stock. There are no voting rights with these instruments until vesting occurs and a share of stock is issued.
	The following table is a summary of PS and PSU award activity for the year ended December 31, 2013:

	During the year ended December 31, 2013, PS awards of 389,930 shares and PSU awards of 16,208 units were granted at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $20.39 and $20.50, respectively. There were no PS or PSU awards granted during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. On the grant dates, the target number of shares ("target shares") was granted. During the performance period, the target shares will be earned or forfeited, and additional shares, up to the maximum number of shares, may be granted at the end of the performance period. The potential payouts for nonvested awards at December 31, 2013 range from zero to 736,112 PS or PSU awards should certain performance targets be achieved. In general, PS and PSU awards will vest at the end of the performance period, provided the holder of the share is continuously employed by the Company until the vesting date.
	Compensation expense for awards granted are recognized based on the targeted payout of 100%, net of estimated forfeitures. Compensation expense recognized related to PS and PSUs was $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. There was no compensation expense recognized related to PS and PSUs for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Estimated future compensation expense is $2.4 million for 2014 and $2.4 million for 2015.
	Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units
	Restricted stock ("RS") and restricted stock unit ("RSU") awards consist of shares or the rights to shares of the Company's class A stock which are awarded to employees of the Company. The awards are restricted such that they are subject to substantial risk of forfeiture and to restrictions on their sale or other transfer by the employee. RSU awards are typically granted to eligible employees outside of the United States. As defined in the individual grant agreements, acceleration of vesting may occur under a change in control, or death, disability or normal retirement of the grantee. Grantees receiving RS grants are able to exercise full voting rights and receive full credit for dividends during the vesting period. All such dividends will be paid to the RS grantee within 45 days of full vesting. Grantees receiving RSUs granted prior to January 1, 2012 are not entitled to vote and do not earn dividends. Grantees receiving RSUs on or after January 1, 2012 are not entitled to vote but do earn dividends. Upon vesting, RSUs will be settled either through cash payment equal to the fair market value of the RSUs on the vesting date or through issuance of Company class A stock.

	The Company's class C stock was held by the Quad/Graphics Employee Ownership Plan (and can only be owned by, or transferred to, a Company employee benefit plan which is intended to satisfy the qualification requirements of Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code). In August 2012, all of the Company's outstanding class C common shares, which were previously classified as redeemable equity, were converted into class A common shares.
	The Company also has 0.5 million shares of $0.01 par value preferred stock authorized, of which none were issued at December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. The Company has no present plans to issue any preferred stock.

	On September 6, 2011, the Company's board of directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $100.0 million of the Company's outstanding class A stock. The Company repurchased no shares during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. The Company repurchased 0.4 million shares of class A stock in the open market for $8.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, and has $91.8 million in authorized repurchases remaining under the program as of December 31, 2013.
	Redeemable equity
	The Company followed the applicable GAAP and SEC authoritative guidance for redeemable stock which required the Company to record the class C stock at full redemption value at each balance sheet date to the extent the redemption of those securities is not solely within the control of the Company. Under the terms of the Articles of Incorporation, the class C common shares are required to be owned by a qualified employee retirement plan of the Company and each holder of class C stock has a continuous right to have the class C stock repurchased by the Company.
	There is no redemption value of class C qualified employee retirement plan shares at December 31, 2013 and 2012. The redemption value of the class C qualified employee retirement plan shares at December 31, 2011 totaled $3.5 million. There is no redemption value of the class A common shares at December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 as there is now a readily tradable market.
	In August 2012, the remaining 0.3 million outstanding class C common shares owned by the Quad/Graphics Employee Stock Ownership Plan were exchanged for class A common shares that were held as treasury stock. This exchange eliminated the redemption value of the class C common stock. There were no class C common shares redeemed by the Company during the year ended December 31, 2011.
	Subsequent changes to the redemption value of the securities due to changes in stock valuation or dividend declarations are charged to retained earnings, while decreases in redemption value due to elimination of redemption features are credited to additional paid-in capital and retained earnings. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the balance of redeemable equity decreased by $3.5 million as a result of the conversion of all outstanding class C common shares into class A common shares. As such, information regarding the changes in redeemable equity for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 is provided in the table below:

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]	'
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation	'
	Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation—The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned controlled subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The results of operations and accounts of businesses acquired are included in the consolidated financial statements from the dates of acquisition (see Note 3, "Acquisitions and Strategic Investments"). Investments in entities where the Company has both the ability to exert significant influence but not control and an ownership interest of 50% or less but more than 20% are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Investments in entities where the Company does not exert significant influence or control and has an ownership interest of less than 20% are accounted for using the cost method of accounting. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Discontinued Operations	'
	Discontinued Operations—The results of operations of the Company's Canadian operations have been reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Foreign Operations	'
	Foreign Operations—Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate existing at the respective balance sheet dates. Income and expense items are translated at the average rates during the respective periods. Translation adjustments resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the consolidated statements of redeemable equity, common stock and other equity and noncontrolling interests while transaction gains and losses are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.
Use of Estimates	'
	Use of Estimates—The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires the use of management's estimates and assumptions that affect the reported assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for items and matters including, but not limited to: allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory obsolescence, asset valuations and useful lives, goodwill, pension and postretirement benefits, self-insurance reserves, stock-based compensation, taxes, restructuring and other provisions and contingencies.
Revenue Recognition and Byproduct Recoveries	'
	Revenue Recognition—The Company recognizes its printing revenues upon transfer of title and the passage of risk of loss, which is generally upon shipment to the customer. Under agreements with certain customers, products may be stored by the Company for future delivery. In these situations, the Company may receive warehouse management fees for the services it provides. In certain of these cases, delivery and billing schedules are outlined in the customer agreement and product revenue is recognized when manufacturing is complete, title and risk of loss transfer to the customer, and there is a reasonable assurance as to collectability. Product returns are not significant because the majority of products are customized; however, the Company accrues for the estimated amount of customer allowances at the time of sale based on historical experience and known trends.
	Revenue from services is recognized as services are performed. Revenues related to the Company's imaging operations, which include digital content management, photography, color services and page production, are recognized in accordance with the terms of the contract, typically upon completion of the performed service and acceptance by the customer. Revenues related to the Company's logistics operations, which includes the delivery of printed material, are recognized upon completion of the delivery of services.
	The Company also manufactures printing-related auxiliary equipment to ensure industry-leading technology for its own printing operations, as well as to sell to other businesses. Revenue is generally recognized for the equipment sales at time of shipment. Revenue from services related to the installation of equipment at customer sites are recognized upon completion of the installation. Payments can be received from customers during the manufacture of equipment and prior to shipment or in the case of the installation services prior to completion of the installation. In all cases when payments are received in advance of meeting the applicable revenue recognition criteria, deferred revenue is recorded until the criteria for revenue recognition are subsequently met.
	Services account for greater than 10% of the Company's consolidated net sales; therefore, net sales and related costs of sales of products and services have been included as separate line items in the consolidated statements of operations.
	Certain revenues earned by the Company require judgment to determine if revenue should be recorded gross as a principal or net of related costs as an agent. Billings for third-party shipping and handling costs, primarily in the Company's logistics operations, and out-of-pocket expenses are recorded gross in net sales and cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations. Many of the Company's operations process materials, primarily paper, that may be supplied directly by customers or may be purchased by the Company and sold to customers. No revenue is recognized for customer-supplied paper. Revenues for Company-supplied paper are recognized on a gross basis.
	Byproduct Recoveries—The Company records the sale of byproducts as net product sales in the consolidated statements of operations.
Financial Instruments	'
	Financial Instruments—The Company uses derivative financial instruments for the purpose of hedging commodity and foreign exchange exposures that exist as part of ongoing business operations, including natural gas forward purchase contracts and foreign exchange contracts. As a policy, the Company does not engage in speculative or leveraged transactions, nor does the Company hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.
	Derivative instruments are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as either assets or liabilities measured at their fair value. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and recognized in the consolidated statements of operations when the hedged item affects earnings.
	The ineffective portions of the changes in the fair value of hedges are recognized in earnings. Cash flows from derivatives that are accounted for as cash flow or fair value hedges are included in the consolidated statements of cash flows in the same category as the item being hedged.
Fair Value Measurement	'
	Fair Value Measurement—The Company applies fair value accounting for all assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in its consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis. Fair value represents the amount that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities that are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. See Note 18, "Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements," for further discussion.
Research and development	'
	Research and Development—Research and development costs related to the development of new products or the adaptation of existing products are expensed as incurred, included in cost of sales
Cash and cash equivalents	'
	Cash and Cash Equivalents—The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Receivables	'
	Receivables—Receivables are stated net of allowances for doubtful accounts. No single customer comprised more than 5% of the Company's consolidated net sales in 2013, 2012 or 2011 or 5% of the Company's consolidated receivables as of December 31, 2013 or 2012. Specific customer provisions are made when a review of significant outstanding amounts, utilizing information about customer creditworthiness and current economic trends, indicates that collection is doubtful. In addition, provisions are made at differing rates, based upon the age of the receivable and the Company's historical collection experience. See Note 7, "Receivables," for further discussion on the transactions affecting the allowances for doubtful accounts.
Inventories	'
	Inventories—Inventories include material, labor, and plant overhead and are stated at the lower of cost or market. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, all inventories were valued using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method. See Note 8, "Inventories," for a breakdown of the components of the Company's inventories.
Property, Plant and Equipment	'
	Property, Plant and Equipment—Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, and are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. See Note 9, "Property, Plant and Equipment," for a breakdown of the components of the Company's property, plant and equipment. Major improvements that extend the useful lives of existing assets are capitalized and charged to the asset accounts. Repairs and maintenance, which do not significantly improve or extend the useful lives of the respective assets, are expensed as incurred. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the respective asset.
	Asset Category	Range of Useful Lives
	Buildings	10 to 40 Years
	Machinery and equipment	5 to 15 Years
	Other	3 to 10 Years
Other Intangible Assets, Impairment of Long-Lived and Other Intangible Assets, and Goodwill	'
	Other Intangible Assets—Identifiable intangible assets are recognized apart from goodwill and are amortized over their estimated useful lives.
	Impairment of Long-Lived and Other Intangible Assets—The Company evaluates long-lived assets and other intangible assets (of which the most significant are property, plant and equipment and customer relationship intangible assets) whenever events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Determining whether impairment has occurred typically requires various estimates and assumptions, including determining which cash flows are directly related to the potentially impaired asset, the useful life over which cash flows will occur, their amount and the asset's residual value, if any. In turn, measurement of an impairment loss requires a determination of recoverability, which is generally estimated by the ability to recover the balance of the assets from expected future operating cash flows on an undiscounted basis. If impairment is determined to exist, any related impairment loss is calculated based on the difference in the fair value and carrying value of the asset.
	Goodwill—Goodwill is reviewed annually for impairment as of October 31, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is below its carrying value. In performing this analysis, the Company compares each reporting unit's fair value estimated based on comparable company market valuations and/or expected future discounted cash flows to be generated by the reporting unit to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, the Company performs a fair value measurement calculation to determine the impairment loss, which would be charged to operations in the period identified. See Note 6, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," for further discussion.
Income Taxes	'
	Income Taxes—The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of items reported in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the effective date of enactment.
	The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent the Company believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. This determination is based upon all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and recent financial operations. If the Company determines that a deferred income tax asset will not be fully realized in the future, then a valuation allowance is established or increased to reflect the amount at which the asset will more likely than not be realized, which would increase the Company's provision for income taxes. In a period after a valuation allowance has been established, if the Company determines the related deferred income tax assets will be realized in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, then an adjustment to reduce the related valuation allowance will be made, which would reduce the Company's provision for income taxes.
	The Company is regularly audited by foreign and domestic tax authorities. These audits occasionally result in proposed assessments where the ultimate resolution might result in the Company owing additional taxes, including in some cases, penalties and interest. The Company recognizes a tax position in its consolidated financial statements when it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. This recognized tax position is then measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty-percent likely of being recognized upon ultimate settlement. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.
	The determination of the Company's worldwide tax provision and related tax assets and liabilities requires the use of significant judgment, estimates, and the interpretation of complex tax laws. In the ordinary course of business, there are transactions and calculations where the final tax outcome is uncertain. While the Company believes it has the appropriate support for the positions taken, certain positions may be successfully challenged by taxing authorities. The Company applies the provisions of the authoritative guidance on accounting for uncertain tax positions to determine the appropriate amount of tax benefits to be recognized with respect to uncertain tax positions. The determination of the Company's worldwide tax provision includes the impact of any changes to the amount of tax benefits recognized with respect to uncertain tax positions.
Pension and Postretirement Plans	'
	Pension and Postretirement Plans—The Company assumed certain underfunded defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit plans as part of the 2010 World Color Press acquisition. Pension plan costs are determined using actuarial methods and are funded through contributions. The Company records amounts relating to its pension and postretirement benefit plans based on calculations which include various actuarial assumptions including discount rates, mortality, assumed rates of return, compensation increases, turnover rates and health care cost trend rates. The Company reviews its actuarial assumptions on an annual basis and modifies the assumptions based on current rates and trends when it is appropriate to do so. The effects of modifications are recognized immediately on the consolidated balance sheets, but are generally amortized into operating income over future periods, with the deferred amount recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company believes that the assumptions utilized in recording its obligations under its plans are reasonable based on its experience, market conditions and input from its actuaries and investment advisors. For the purposes of calculating the expected return on plan assets, those assets are valued at fair value. When an event gives rise to both a curtailment and a settlement, the curtailment is accounted for prior to the settlement. The Company's measurement date to measure the defined benefit plan assets and the projected benefit obligation is December 31.
	In addition, as a result of the acquisition of World Color Press, the Company participated in multiemployer pension plans ("MEPPs"). Due to the significant underfunded status of the MEPPs, the Company has withdrawn from all significant MEPPs and replaced these union sponsored “promise to pay in the future” defined benefit plans with a Company sponsored “pay as you go” defined contribution plan, which is historically the form of retirement benefit provided to Quad/Graphics employees. As a result of the decision to withdraw, the Company recorded an estimated withdrawal liability for the MEPPs as part of the purchase price allocation process based on information received from the MEPPs trustees. The estimated withdrawal liability will be updated as new withdrawal liability projections are provided from each plan's trustees until the final withdrawal liability is determined and paid. The exact amount of its withdrawal liability could be higher or lower than the estimate depending on, among other things, the nature and timing of any triggering events and the funded status of the plans at that time. See Note 20, "Employee Retirement Plans," for further discussion.
Stock-Based Compensation	'
	Stock-Based Compensation—The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense over the vesting period for all stock-based awards made to employees and directors based on the fair value of the instrument at the time of grant.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)	'
	Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)—Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consists of unrecognized actuarial gains and losses and prior service costs for pension and postretirement plans and foreign currency translation adjustments and is presented in the consolidated statements of redeemable equity, common stock and other equity and noncontrolling interests. See Note 24, "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)," for further discussion.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share Attributable to Quad/Graphics Common Shareholders	'
	Basic earnings (loss) per share attributable to Quad/Graphics common shareholders is computed as net earnings (loss) attributable to Quad/Graphics common shareholders less the allocation of participating securities, divided by the basic weighted average common shares outstanding of 47.0 million, 46.8 million and 47.1 million shares for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The calculation of a diluted earnings per share amount includes the effect of any dilutive equity incentive instruments. The Company uses the treasury stock method to calculate the effect of outstanding dilutive equity incentive instruments, which requires the Company to compute total proceeds as the sum of (1) the amount the employee must pay upon exercise of the award, (2) the amount of unearned stock-based compensation costs attributed to future services and (3) the amount of tax benefits, if any, that would be credited to additional paid-in capital assuming exercise of the award. Equity incentive instruments for which the total employee proceeds from exercise exceed the average fair value of the same equity incentive instrument over the period have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share during periods with net earnings from continuing operations, and accordingly, the Company excludes them from the calculation. Anti-dilutive equity incentive instruments of 1.6 million and 3.2 million of class A common shares were excluded from the computations of diluted net earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Due to the net loss from continuing operations attributable to Quad/Graphics common shareholders incurred during the year ended December 31, 2011, the assumed exercise of all equity incentive instruments was anti-dilutive and, therefore, not included in the diluted loss per share attributable to Quad/Graphics common shareholders calculation for that period.
	Unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, are required to be treated as participating securities and included in the computation of earnings (loss) per share pursuant to the two-class method. The Company's participating securities are composed of unvested stock options granted on November 18, 2011, and reduced basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to Quad/Graphics common shareholders by $0.02 and $0.07 per diluted share for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. There was no impact to basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to Quad/Graphics common shareholders during 2011.

	______________________________
	-1	These senior notes have a weighted-average interest rate of 7.47%, which is fixed to maturity, with interest payable semiannually. Principal payments commenced September 1997 and extend through April 2036 in various tranches. The notes are collateralized by certain United States land, buildings and press and finishing equipment under the terms of the master note and security agreement.
	-2	On July 26, 2011, and as last amended on December 19, 2012, the Company entered into a $1.5 billion debt financing agreement with certain lenders to reduce the Company's borrowing costs with lower interest rates and to create more flexibility with a higher revolving credit capacity and improvement in financial terms. The $1.5 billion debt financing agreement includes three different loan facilities, a Term Loan A, a Term Loan B, and a revolving credit facility.
	The revolving credit facility in the amount of $850.0 million and the Term Loan A in the aggregate amount of $450.0 million each had an initial term of five years that was extended an additional year as part of the December 19, 2012 amendment to mature on July 25, 2017. The Term Loan B in the amount of $200.0 million (net of a $1.0 million original issue discount) has a term of seven years maturing on July 25, 2018, subject to certain required amortization.
	Borrowings under the revolving facility and Term Loan A loans made under the $1.5 billion debt financing agreement bear interest at London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 2.25%, or 1.25% in excess of an alternate base rate, and Term Loan B loans bear interest at LIBOR plus 3.00%, with a LIBOR floor of 1.00%, or 2.00% in excess of an alternative base rate at the Company's option. At December 31, 2013, the Company had borrowings of $209.8 million on the revolving credit agreement, as well as $44.0 million of issued letters of credit, leaving $596.2 million available for future borrowings.
	The proceeds from the Term Loan A, Term Loan B and revolving credit facility were used to repay all outstanding balances and terminate the Company's previous $1.23 billion debt financing agreement (which included the $700.0 million term loan and the $530.0 million revolving credit facility), as well as to pay the new debt issuance costs incurred for the refinancing. The $1.5 billion debt financing agreement is secured by substantially all of the assets in the United States that are not encumbered under the Company's other financing agreements.
	The Company recognized a $34.0 million loss on debt extinguishment during the year ended December 31, 2011, in connection with the July 26, 2011 $1.5 billion debt financing agreement. The loss was comprised of: (1) $20.9 million of debt issuance costs from the terminated $1.23 billion debt financing agreement, (2) $8.9 million of remaining original issue discount from the terminated $1.23 billion debt financing agreement and (3) $4.2 million of debt issuance costs from the $1.5 billion debt financing agreement. The $34.0 million loss was classified as loss on debt extinguishment in the consolidated statements of operations.
	-3	On December 16, 2008, debt related to the Company's international operations was refinanced by entering into a secured credit agreement ("Facilities Agreement"). The Facilities Agreement includes a Euro denominated term loan and a multicurrency revolving credit facility. The term loan principal payments commenced in December 2009 and it matures on December 16, 2015. The multicurrency revolving credit facility used for financing working capital and general business needs, was renewed in 2013 and will expire on December 16, 2014. At December 31, 2013, the Company's international operations had borrowings of $2.3 million under the multicurrency revolving credit facility, leaving $14.3 million available for future borrowing. The terms of the Facilities Agreement include certain financial covenants, a guarantee of the Facilities Agreement by the Company and a security agreement that includes collateralizing substantially all of the Quad/Winkowski assets. The facilities bear interest at the aggregate of the Warsaw Interbank Offered Rate ("WIBOR") or the Euro Interbank Offered Rate ("EURIBOR") and margin.
	-4	During 2013, the Company refinanced certain equipment leases with $17.1 million in equipment term loans secured by the formerly leased equipment. The equipment term loans bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.75%, require quarterly payments and have five year terms expiring during 2018. The purchase of these assets resulted in $12.8 million of non-cash investing and financing activities, which represents the $17.1 million in equipment term loans net of $4.3 million of eliminated capital lease obligations (see Note 1, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies").

These senior notes have a weighted-average interest rate of 7.47%, which is fixed to maturity, with interest payable semiannually. Principal payments commenced September 1997 and extend through April 2036 in various tranches. The notes are collateralized by certain United States land, buildings and press and finishing equipment under the terms of the master note and security agreement.

[2]

On JulyB 26, 2011, and as last amended on DecemberB 19, 2012, the Company entered into a $1.5B billion debt financing agreement with certain lenders to reduce the Company's borrowing costs with lower interest rates and to create more flexibility with a higher revolving credit capacity and improvement in financial terms. The $1.5B billion debt financing agreement includes three different loan facilities, a Term Loan A, a Term Loan B, and a revolving credit facility.The revolving credit facility in the amount of $850.0B million and the Term Loan A in the aggregate amount of $450.0B million each had an initial term of five years that was extended an additional year as part of the DecemberB 19, 2012 amendment to mature on JulyB 25, 2017. The Term Loan B in the amount of $200.0B million (net of a $1.0B million original issue discount) has a term of seven years maturing on JulyB 25, 2018, subject to certain required amortization.Borrowings under the revolving facility and Term Loan A loans made under the $1.5B billion debt financing agreement bear interest at London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 2.25%, or 1.25% in excess of an alternate base rate, and Term Loan B loans bear interest at LIBOR plus 3.00%, with a LIBOR floor of 1.00%, or 2.00% in excess of an alternative base rate at the Company's option. At DecemberB 31, 2013, the Company had borrowings of $209.8B million on the revolving credit agreement, as well as $44.0B million of issued letters of credit, leaving $596.2B million available for future borrowings.The proceeds from the Term Loan A, Term Loan B and revolving credit facility were used to repay all outstanding balances and terminate the Company's previous $1.23B billion debt financing agreement (which included the $700.0B million term loan and the $530.0B million revolving credit facility), as well as to pay the new debt issuance costs incurred for the refinancing. The $1.5B billion debt financing agreement is secured by substantially all of the assets in the United States that are not encumbered under the Company's other financing agreements.The Company recognized a $34.0B million loss on debt extinguishment during the year ended DecemberB 31, 2011, in connection with the JulyB 26, 2011 $1.5B billion debt financing agreement. The loss was comprised of: (1)B $20.9B million of debt issuance costs from the terminated $1.23B billion debt financing agreement, (2)B $8.9B million of remaining original issue discount from the terminated $1.23B billion debt financing agreement and (3)B $4.2B million of debt issuance costs from the $1.5B billion debt financing agreement. The $34.0B million loss was classified as loss on debt extinguishment in the consolidated statements of operations.

[3]

On DecemberB 16, 2008, debt related to the Company's international operations was refinanced by entering into a secured credit agreement ("Facilities Agreement"). The Facilities Agreement includes a Euro denominated term loan and a multicurrency revolving credit facility. The term loan principal payments commenced in December 2009 and it matures on December 16, 2015. The multicurrency revolving credit facility used for financing working capital and general business needs, was renewed in 2013 and will expire on DecemberB 16, 2014. At DecemberB 31, 2013, the Company's international operations had borrowings of $2.3B million under the multicurrency revolving credit facility, leaving $14.3B million available for future borrowing. The terms of the Facilities Agreement include certain financial covenants, a guarantee of the Facilities Agreement by the Company and a security agreement that includes collateralizing substantially all of the Quad/Winkowski assets. The facilities bear interest at the aggregate of the Warsaw Interbank Offered Rate ("WIBOR") or the Euro Interbank Offered Rate ("EURIBOR") and margin.

[4]

During 2013, the Company refinanced certain equipment leases with $17.1B million in equipment term loans secured by the formerly leased equipment. The equipment term loans bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.75%, require quarterly payments and have five year terms expiring during 2018. The purchase of these assets resulted in $12.8B million of non-cash investing and financing activities, which represents the $17.1B million in equipment term loans net of $4.3B million of eliminated capital lease obligations (see NoteB 1, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies").
