Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for Quad/Graphics, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company" or "Quad/Graphics") have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations for interim financial information of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (" SEC "). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (" GAAP ") have been omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated annual financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016 , and notes thereto included in the Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 22, 2017 . The Company is subject to seasonality in its quarterly results as net sales and operating income are higher in the third and fourth quarters of the calendar year as compared to the first and second quarters. The fourth quarter is typically the highest seasonal quarter for cash flows from operating activities due to the reduction of working capital requirements that reach peak levels during the third quarter. Seasonality is driven by increased magazine advertising page counts, retail inserts, catalogs and books primarily due to back-to-school and holiday-related advertising and promotions. The Company expects this seasonality impact to continue in future years. The financial information contained herein reflects all adjustments, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 . All of these adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, except as otherwise noted. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include estimates and assumptions of management that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

See Note 18 , " Segment Information ," for restructuring, impairment and transaction-related charges by segment. Restructuring Charges The Company began a restructuring program in 2010 related to eliminating excess manufacturing capacity and properly aligning its cost structure. The Company has announced a total of 37 plant closures and has reduced headcount by approximately 11,400 employees since 2010 . The Company recorded the following charges as a result of plant closures and other restructuring programs: • Employee termination charges of $2.9 million and $4.9 million were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. The Company reduced its workforce through facility consolidations and involuntary separation programs. • There were no integration costs recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2017 . Integration costs of $0.1 million were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2016 , related to costs for the integration of acquired companies. • Other restructuring charges of $5.1 million were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2017 , which consisted of the following: (1) $3.2 million of lease exit charges primarily related to the closures of the Huntington Beach, California; and Manassas, Virginia plants; (2) $1.2 million of equipment and infrastructure removal costs from closed plants; and (3) $0.7 million of vacant facility carrying costs, net of a $3.7 million gain from the sale of the East Greenville, Pennsylvania and Marengo, Iowa plants. Other restructuring charges of $6.6 million were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2016 , which consisted of the following: (1) $4.0 million of vacant facility carrying costs; (2) $2.5 million of equipment and infrastructure removal costs from closed plants; and (3) $0.1 million of lease exit charges. The restructuring charges recorded were based on plans that have been committed to by management and were, in part, based upon management's best estimates of future events. Changes to the estimates may require future restructuring charges and adjustments to the restructuring liabilities. The Company expects to incur additional restructuring charges related to these and other initiatives. Impairment Charges The Company recognized impairment charges of $0.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 , for machinery and equipment no longer being utilized in production as a result of facility consolidations, as well as other capacity reduction restructuring activities.

The fair values of the impaired assets were determined by the Company to be Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy (see Note 11 , " Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements ," for the definition of Level 3 inputs) and were estimated based on internal discounted cash flow estimates, quoted market prices where available and independent appraisals, as appropriate. These assets were adjusted to their estimated fair values at the time of impairment. Transaction-Related Charges The Company incurs transaction-related charges primarily consisting of professional service fees related to business acquisition and divestiture activities. The Company recognized transaction-related charges of $0.8 million and $0.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. The transaction-related charges were expensed as incurred in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance on business combinations.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Litigation The Company is named as a defendant in various lawsuits in which claims are asserted against the Company in the normal course of business. The liabilities, if any, which ultimately result from such lawsuits are not expected by management to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company. In April 2016, the Company self-reported to the SEC and the Department of Justice ("DOJ") certain Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA") issues, and a resulting internal investigation, related to its operations managed from Peru. These operations had approximate annual sales ranging from $95.0 million to $135.0 million from the date that the Company acquired those operations in July 2010 until the date the issues were discovered. The self-reported issues were identified by the Company's financial internal controls. The Company, under the oversight of its Audit Committee and Board of Directors, proactively initiated an investigation into this matter with the assistance of external legal counsel and external forensic accountants. During the course of its internal investigation, the Company has also identified, and self-reported to the DOJ and SEC, transactions raising similar issues involving certain sales made in its Quad/Tech China operations. For the period 2011 through 2015, the approximate annual sales of these China operations ranged from $2.0 million to $3.0 million . In connection with this investigation, the Company has made and continues to evaluate certain enhancements to its compliance program. The Company is fully cooperating with the SEC and the DOJ. At this time, the Company does not anticipate any material adverse effect on its business or financial condition as a result of this matter. Environmental Reserves The Company is subject to various laws, regulations and government policies relating to health and safety, to the generation, storage, transportation, and disposal of hazardous substances, and to environmental protection in general. The Company provides for expenses associated with environmental remediation obligations when such amounts are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Such reserves are adjusted as new information develops or as circumstances change. The environmental reserves are not discounted. The Company believes it is in compliance with such laws, regulations and government policies in all material respects. Furthermore, the Company does not anticipate that maintaining compliance with such environmental statutes will have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial position.

World Color Press Inc. Insolven

Reorganizations [Abstract]
World Color Press Inc. Insolvency Proceedings	World Color Press Inc. Insolvency Proceedings 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. (" World Color Press ") 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 (the "Class 4 Claims"), 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 $1.0 million and $1.2 million of such recorded claims have yet to be paid as of March 31, 2017 , and December 31, 2016 , respectively. With respect to claims asserted by the holders thereof as being entitled to Class 4 Claims, during the second quarter of 2016 the Company was provided $1.1 million of restricted cash for the future satisfaction of the cash portion of the remaining Class 4 Claims. The obligations for both the priority cash claims and the Class 4 Claims are classified as amounts owing in satisfaction of bankruptcy claims in the condensed 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 equaling 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 . Each allowed Class 3 Claim will also receive accrued interest and a 5% prepayment redemption premium thereon (the total aggregate maximum principal, interest and prepayment redemption premium for all Class 3 Claims 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 with a trustee, and that amount is being used to pay creditors for allowed Class 3 Claims, with excess amounts not required for Class 3 Claim payments reverting to the Company. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 , $4.1 million of the restricted cash was paid to Class 3 Claim creditors. The Company also received refunds of $2.2 million of restricted cash. At March 31, 2017 , a $0.9 million maximum potential payout to the Class 3 Claim creditors remains and is classified as restricted cash in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Based on the Company's analysis of the outstanding Class 3 Claims, the Company has a liability of $0.9 million at March 31, 2017 , classified as unsecured notes to be issued in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Activity impacting restricted cash and unsecured notes to be issued for the three months ended March 31, 2017 , was as follows: Restricted Cash Unsecured Notes to be Issued Balance at December 31, 2016 $ 7.2 $ 5.4 Class 3 Claim payments (4.1 ) (4.1 ) Restricted cash refunded to Quad/Graphics (2.2 ) — Non-cash adjustments — (0.4 ) Balance at March 31, 2017 $ 0.9 $ 0.9 The components of restricted cash at March 31, 2017 , and December 31, 2016 , were as follows: March 31, December 31, Defeasance of unsecured notes to be issued $ 0.9 $ 7.2 Restricted cash for Class 4 Claim payments 1.1 1.1 Other 1.8 1.9 Total $ 3.8 $ 10.2 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, Class 4 Claims or Class 3 Claims that will ultimately be allowed by the United States Bankruptcy Court. Therefore, payments for amounts owing in satisfaction of bankruptcy claims could be higher than the amounts accrued on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, which would require additional cash payments to be made and expense to be recorded for the amount exceeding the Company's estimate. Amounts payable related to the unsecured notes could exceed current estimates, which would require additional expense to be recorded. The Company has resolved the majority of claims since acquiring World Color Press in 2010, but the ultimate timing for completion of the bankruptcy process depends on the resolution of the remaining claims.

This second amendment was completed to reduce the sizing of the revolving credit facility and Term Loan A and to extend the Company's debt maturity profile while maintaining the Company's current cost of borrowing and covenant structure. The amendment resulted in a loss on debt extinguishment in the amount of $2.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017. The revolving credit facility was lowered to a maximum borrowing amount of $725.0 million with a term of just under four years , maturing on January 4, 2021. The Term Loan A was lowered to an aggregate amount of $375.0 million with a term of just under four years , maturing on January 4, 2021, subject to certain required amortization. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility and Term Loan A loans made under the Senior Secured Credit Facility will initially bear interest at 2.00% in excess of reserve adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), or 1.00% in excess of an alternate base rate. This amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Facility does not have an impact on the quarterly financial covenant requirements the Company is subject to. The Senior Secured Credit Facility remains secured by substantially all of the unencumbered assets of the Company. The Senior Secured Credit Facility also requires the Company to provide additional collateral to the lenders in certain limited circumstances. Debt Issuance Costs Activity impacting the Company's debt issuance costs for the three months ended March 31, 2017, was as follows: Debt Issuance Costs Balance at December 31, 2016 $ 11.3 Debt issuance costs from February 10, 2017 debt financing arrangement 3.2 Loss on debt extinguishment from April 28, 2014 debt financing arrangement (1.1 ) Amortization of debt issuance costs (0.8 ) Balance at March 31, 2017 $ 12.6 2017 Loss on Debt Extinguishment The Company incurred $4.7 million in debt issuance costs in conjunction with the second amendment to the Company's Senior Secured Credit Facility. In accordance with the accounting guidance for the treatment of debt issuance costs in a debt extinguishment, of the $4.7 million in new debt issuance costs, $3.2 million is classified as a reduction of long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and $1.5 million was expensed and is classified as loss on debt extinguishment in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The loss on debt extinguishment recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017, was comprised of the following: Loss on Debt Extinguishment Debt issuance costs from April 28, 2014 debt financing arrangement $ 1.1 Debt issuance costs from February 10, 2017 debt financing arrangement 1.5 Total $ 2.6 2016 Gain on Debt Extinguishment The gain on debt extinguishment recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2016, was as follows: Master Note and Security Agreement Senior Unsecured Notes Total Principal amount repurchased $ 60.1 $ 56.5 $ 116.6 Repurchase price 61.2 42.5 103.7 Less: accrued interest paid (1.2 ) (1.1 ) (2.3 ) Net repurchase price 60.0 41.4 101.4 Debt financing fees expensed (0.1 ) — (0.1 ) Debt issuance costs expensed (0.2 ) (0.8 ) (1.0 ) Gain (loss) on debt extinguishment $ (0.2 ) $ 14.3 $ 14.1 Master Note and Security Agreement Tender The Company redeemed $60.1 million of its senior notes under the Master Note and Security Agreement, resulting in a net loss on debt extinguishment of $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016. All tendered senior notes under the Master Note and Security Agreement were canceled. The Company used cash flows from operating activities and borrowings under its revolving credit facility to fund the tender. The tender was primarily completed to reallocate debt to the lower interest rate revolving credit facility and thereby reduce interest expense based on current LIBOR rates. Senior Unsecured Note Repurchases The Company repurchased $56.5 million of its $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured 7.0% senior notes due May 1, 2022 , (the " Senior Unsecured Notes ") in the open market, resulting in a net gain on debt extinguishment of $14.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016. All repurchased Senior Unsecured Notes were canceled. The Company used cash flows from operating activities and borrowings under its revolving credit facility to fund the repurchases. These repurchases were primarily completed to efficiently reduce debt balances and interest expense based on current LIBOR rates. Covenants and Compliance The Company's various lending arrangements include 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 March 31, 2017 : • Total Leverage Ratio. On a rolling twelve-month basis, the total leverage ratio, defined as total consolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA, shall not exceed 3.75 to 1.00 (for the twelve months ended March 31, 2017 , the Company's total leverage ratio was 2.24 to 1.00). • Senior Secured Leverage Ratio. On a rolling twelve-month basis, the senior secured leverage ratio, defined as senior secured debt to consolidated EBITDA, shall not exceed 3.50 to 1.00 (for the twelve months ended March 31, 2017 , the Company's senior secured leverage ratio was 1.75 to 1.00). • Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio. 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 March 31, 2017 , the Company's minimum interest coverage ratio was 7.02 to 1.00). The indenture underlying the Senior Unsecured Notes contains various covenants, including, but not limited to, covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, limit the Company's and its restricted subsidiaries' ability to incur and/or guarantee additional debt; pay dividends, repurchase stock or make certain other restricted payments; enter into agreements limiting dividends and certain other restricted payments; prepay, redeem or repurchase subordinated debt; grant liens on assets; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; merge, consolidate, transfer or dispose of substantially all of the Company's consolidated assets; sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of property and assets; and engage in transactions with affiliates. In addition to those covenants, the Senior Secured Credit Facility also includes certain limitations on acquisitions, indebtedness, liens, dividends and repurchases of capital stock, including the following: • If the Company's total leverage ratio is greater than 3.00 to 1.00 (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility), 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. • If the Company's senior secured leverage ratio is greater than 3.00 to 1.00 or the Company's total leverage ratio is greater than 3.50 to 1.00 (these ratios as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility), the Company is prohibited from voluntarily prepaying any of the Senior Unsecured Notes and from voluntarily prepaying any other unsecured or subordinated indebtedness, with certain exceptions (including any mandatory prepayments on the Senior Unsecured Notes or any other unsecured or subordinated debt). If the senior secured leverage ratio is less than 3.00 to 1.00 and the total leverage ratio is less than 3.50 to 1.00, there are no such restrictions.

Income Taxes

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company records income tax expense on an interim basis. The estimated annual effective income tax rate is adjusted quarterly, and items discrete to a specific quarter are reflected in tax expense for that interim period. The effective income tax rate for the interim period can differ from the statutory tax rate, as it reflects changes in valuation allowances due to expected current year earnings or loss and other discrete items, such as changes in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits related to establishment and settlement of income tax exposures. The Company's liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2017 , was $29.4 million . The Company anticipates a $1.4 million decrease to its liability for unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months due to resolution of income tax audits or statute expirations.

Financial Instruments and Fair

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements	3 Months Ended

Fair Value Disclosures [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 were no Level 3 recurring measurements of assets or liabilities as of March 31, 2017 . Interest Rate Swap The Company entered into a $250.0 million interest rate swap on February 7, 2017. The swap was designated as a cash flow hedge as its purpose is to reduce the variability of cash flows from interest payments related to a portion of Quad/Graphics' variable-rate debt. The swap became effective on February 28, 2017, and effectively converts $250.0 million of the Company's variable-rate debt based on one-month LIBOR to a fixed rate of 3.89% (including a 2.00% spread on underlying debt). The variable interest rate resets monthly and the swap is a five year arrangement, maturing on February 28, 2022. The Company classifies the interest rate swap as Level 2 because the inputs into the valuation model are observable or can be derived or corroborated utilizing observable market data at commonly quoted intervals. The interest rate swap was highly effective as of March 31, 2017 ; therefore, the entire change in fair value during the period of $0.4 million is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and is shown as a change in other comprehensive income in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. No amount of ineffectiveness has been recorded into earnings related to this cash flow hedge. The fair value of the interest rate swap as of March 31, 2017 was $0.4 million and is recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The net payment of interest under the terms of the interest rate swap totaled an expense of $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 , and has been recognized as an adjustment to interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Foreign Exchange Contracts 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. There were no open foreign currency exchange contracts as of March 31, 2017 . Natural Gas Forward Contracts The Company periodically enters into natural gas forward purchase contracts to hedge against increases in commodity costs. The Company's commodity contracts qualified for the exception related to normal purchases and sales during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , as the Company takes delivery in the normal course of business. Debt The Company measures fair value on its debt instruments using interest rates available to the Company for borrowings with similar terms and maturities and is categorized as Level 2. See Note 9 , “ Debt ,” for the fair value of the Company’s debt as of March 31, 2017 . Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements 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 2 , " Restructuring, Impairment and Transaction-Related Charges " and Note 5 , " Property, Plant and Equipment " for further discussion on impairment charges recorded as a result of the remeasurement of certain long-lived assets. Other Estimated Fair Value Measurements 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 March 31, 2017 , and December 31, 2016 .

Compensation and Retirement Disclosure [Abstract]
Employee Retirement Plans	Employee Retirement Plans Pension Plans The Company sponsors various funded and unfunded pension plans for a portion of its full-time employees in the United States. 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. The components of net pension income for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , were as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 2016 Interest cost $ (4.3 ) $ (5.1 ) Expected return on plan assets 6.9 7.9 Net pension income $ 2.6 $ 2.8 The Company made $0.3 million in benefit payments to its non-qualified defined benefit pension plans and made no contributions to its qualified defined benefit pension plans during the three months ended March 31, 2017 . Multiemployer Pension Plans ("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. 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 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 the estimated withdrawal liability based on information provided by each plan's trustee. The Company has received a notice of withdrawal and demand for payment letter from the GCIU, which is in excess of the reserve established by the Company for the GCIU withdrawal. The Company is currently in litigation with the GCIU trustees to determine the amount and duration of the withdrawal payments for the GCIU. Arbitration proceedings with the GCIU have been completed, both sides have appealed the arbitrator's ruling, and litigation in Federal court has commenced. During April 2017, a Federal district court overturned the arbitration decision in one of the pending disputes in this matter. The Company intends to appeal the district court’s ruling to the Ninth Circuit. During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company and the GCC reached a settlement agreement for all claims, with scheduled payments until February 2024. The Company made payments totaling $6.4 million and $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. The payments include monthly payments, as required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, although such payments to the GCIU do not waive the Company's rights to object to the withdrawal liabilities submitted by the GCIU plan administrator. The Company has reserved $42.7 million as its estimate of the total MEPPs withdrawal liability as of March 31, 2017 , of which $35.9 million was recorded in other long-term liabilities and $6.8 million was recorded in accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The withdrawal liability reserved by the Company is within the range of the Company's estimated potential outcomes. This estimate may increase or decrease depending on the final conclusion of the litigation with the GCIU trustees.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is computed as net earnings divided by the basic weighted average common shares outstanding of 49.1 million and 47.6 million shares for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. The calculation of diluted earnings per share 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 the amount the employee must pay upon exercise of the award and the amount of unearned stock-based compensation costs attributable to future services. 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, and accordingly, the Company excludes them from the calculation. Anti-dilutive equity instruments of 1.0 million and 3.2 million class A common shares were excluded from the computation of diluted net earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. Reconciliations of the numerator and the denominator of the basic and diluted per share computations for the Company's common stock, for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , are summarized as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 2016 Numerator Net earnings $ 25.4 $ 3.8 Denominator Basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding for all classes of common shares 49.1 47.6 Plus: effect of dilutive equity incentive instruments 2.4 0.9 Diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding for all classes of common shares 51.5 48.5 Earnings per share Basic $ 0.52 $ 0.08 Diluted $ 0.49 $ 0.08 Cash dividends paid per common share for all classes of common shares $ 0.30 $ 0.30

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
Equity Incentive Programs	Equity Incentive Programs The shareholders of the Company approved the Quad/Graphics, Inc. 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan ("Omnibus Plan") for two complementary purposes: (1) to attract and retain outstanding individuals to serve as directors, officers and employees; and (2) to increase shareholder value. The Omnibus Plan provides for an aggregate 10,871,652 shares of class A common 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 common 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 common stock on the date of grant. As of March 31, 2017 , there were 2,097,584 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 three to four year service period of the awards, except deferred stock units, which are fully vested and expensed on the grant date. 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 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 $6.0 million and $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively, and was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Total future compensation expense related to all equity incentive programs granted as of March 31, 2017 , was estimated to be $27.0 million . Estimated future compensation expense is $10.2 million for 2017 , $9.9 million for 2018 , $6.0 million for 2019 and $0.9 million for 2020 . Net tax benefit (expense) on equity award activity was a benefit of $1.7 million and an expense of $0.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. See Note 20 , " New Accounting Pronouncements ," for further discussion of the adoption of the new accounting standard related to share-based compensation and its impacts to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Stock Options 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. Options expire no later than the tenth anniversary of the grant date, 24 months after termination for death, 36 months after termination for normal retirement or disability and 90 days after termination of employment for any other reason. Options are not credited with dividend declarations, except for the November 18, 2011 grants. Stock options are only to be granted to employees. There were no stock options granted, and no compensation expense was recognized related to stock options for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 . There is no future compensation expense for stock options as of March 31, 2017 .

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, 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 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 the Company's class A common stock. The following table is a summary of RS and RSU award activity for the three months ended March 31, 2017 : Restricted Stock Restricted Stock Units Shares Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (years) Units Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (years) Nonvested at December 31, 2016 2,485,389 $ 15.89 1.5 235,886 $ 11.04 1.8 Granted 659,866 26.88 71,438 26.88 Vested (612,395 ) 23.44 (10,529 ) 23.45 Forfeited (8,131 ) 15.06 — — Nonvested at March 31, 2017 2,524,729 $ 16.94 2.0 296,795 $ 14.41 1.9 In general, RS and RSU awards will vest on the third anniversary of the grant date, provided the holder of the share is continuously employed by the Company until the vesting date. Compensation expense recognized for RS and RSUs was $5.1 million and $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. Total future compensation expense for all RS and RSUs granted as of March 31, 2017 , is approximately $27.0 million . Estimated future compensation expense is $10.2 million for 2017 , $9.9 million for 2018 , $6.0 million for 2019 and $0.9 million for 2020 . Deferred Stock Units Deferred stock units ("DSU") are awards of rights to shares of the Company's class A common stock and are awarded to non-employee directors of the Company. The following table is a summary of DSU award activity for the three months ended March 31, 2017 : Deferred Stock Units Units Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share Outstanding at December 31, 2016 249,739 $ 16.98 Granted 34,656 26.86 Dividend equivalents granted 3,373 25.05 Settled — — Forfeited — — Outstanding at March 31, 2017 287,768 $ 18.27 Each DSU award entitles the grantee to receive one share of class A common stock upon the earlier of the separation date of the grantee or the second anniversary of the grant date, but could be subject to acceleration for a change in control, death or disability as defined in the individual DSU grant agreement. Grantees of DSU awards may not exercise voting rights, but are credited with dividend equivalents, and those dividend equivalents will be converted into additional DSU awards based on the closing price of the class A common stock. There was $0.9 million and $0.8 million of compensation expense recorded for DSUs during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. As DSU awards are fully vested on the grant date, all compensation expense was recognized at the date of grant. Other information Authorized unissued shares or treasury shares may be used for issuance under the Company's equity incentive programs. The Company intends to use treasury shares of its class A common stock to meet the stock requirements of its awards in the future.

New Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Pronouncements	3 Months Ended

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements	New Accounting Pronouncements In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-07 "Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost" ("ASU 2017-07"), which requires that an employer disaggregate the service cost component from net benefit cost and provides guidance on how to present the service costs and other components of net benefit costs in the income statement. Under the new standard, an entity must report the service cost component in the same line item as other compensation costs. The other components of net benefit cost will be required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of an annual period for which financial statements have not been issued or made available for issuance. This new guidance will require a retrospective adoption approach for the classification of components of net periodic benefit cost in the income statement. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2017-07 on the condensed consolidated financial statements. In November 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-18 "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 320): Restricted Cash" ("ASU 2016-18"), which clarifies guidance on the classification and presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. This new guidance will require a retrospective adoption approach. The Company believes the adoption of ASU 2016-18 will not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. In October 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-16 "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfer of Assets Other Than Inventory" ("ASU 2016-16"), which requires the recognition of the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs rather than waiting until the asset is sold to an outside party. Assets covered under the scope of ASU 2016-16 include intellectual property and property, plant and equipment. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. This new guidance will require a modified retrospective transition approach, where the entity will need to apply a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings (accumulated deficit) as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. The Company has adopted this standard as of January 1, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2016-16 did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-15 "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments" ("ASU 2016-15"), which is intended to reduce diversity in practice, providing guidance on eight specific cash flow classification issues with regards to how the cash receipts and cash payments are presented within the statements of cash flows. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. This new guidance will require a retrospective adoption approach unless it is impracticable to apply, in which case the guidance should be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. The Company believes the adoption of ASU 2016-15 will not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-13 "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" ("ASU 2016-13"), which changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. Under the new guidance, entities will be required to measure expected credit losses for financial instruments, including trade receivables, based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable forecasts. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. This new guidance will require a modified retrospective transition approach, where the entity will need to apply a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings (accumulated deficit) as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on the condensed consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-09 "Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" ("ASU 2016-09"), which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments, including income tax consequences, accounting for forfeitures, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statements of cash flows. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. During the second quarter of 2016, the Company elected to early adopt ASU 2016-09. See Note 15 , " Equity Incentive Programs ," for the Company's policy election on accounting for forfeitures. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-07 "Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting" ("ASU 2016-07"), which simplifies the equity method of accounting by eliminating the requirement to retrospectively apply equity method accounting to an investment that subsequently qualifies for such accounting as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence. Instead, the equity method of accounting will be applied prospectively as an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence occurs. The Company has adopted this standard as of January 1, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2016-16 did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-02 "Leases (Topic 842)" ("ASU 2016-02"), which establishes a right-of-use model requiring a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than twelve months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. The guidance also requires additional disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. This new guidance will require a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to elect to use certain transition relief. The modified retrospective transition approach would require the application of the new accounting model for the earliest year presented in the financial statements. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on the condensed consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)" ("ASU 2014-09"), which provides revised guidance on recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. Under this guidance, an entity will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to the customer in the amount that reflects what it expects in exchange for the goods or services. This guidance also requires more detailed disclosures to enable users of the financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of the revenue and cash flow arising from contracts with customers. This guidance allows the option of either a full retrospective adoption, meaning the guidance is applied to all periods presented, or a modified retrospective adoption, meaning the guidance is applied only to the most current period. As amended, ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company plans to adopt the standard in the first quarter of 2018. The Company has established a cross-functional implementation team to evaluate the impact of ASU 2014-09 on the consolidated financial statements. The Company has identified and is in the process of implementing changes to its systems, processes and internal controls to meet the standard's reporting and disclosure requirements. The Company continues to assess all potential impacts of the standard. Currently, the Company believes there is a potential impact related to the timing of revenue recognition, because contracts with customers may qualify for over-time revenue recognition, rather than point-in-time revenue recognition, which is the Company's current policy. As of March 31, 2017, the Company's evaluation of the timing of revenue recognition within each of its operating and reportable segments is ongoing. If the Company determines some contracts qualify for revenue recognition over-time, the impact on the date of adoption could be significant to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company currently anticipates applying the modified retrospective approach when adopting this guidance.

Basis of Presentation (Policies)	3 Months Ended

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurement	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 were no Level 3 recurring measurements of assets or liabilities as of March 31, 2017 .
Earnings Per Share	The calculation of diluted earnings per share 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 the amount the employee must pay upon exercise of the award and the amount of unearned stock-based compensation costs attributable to future services. 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, and accordingly, the Company excludes them from the calculation.
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans	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 three to four year service period of the awards, except deferred stock units, which are fully vested and expensed on the grant date. 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 in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
New Accounting Pronouncements	In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-07 "Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost" ("ASU 2017-07"), which requires that an employer disaggregate the service cost component from net benefit cost and provides guidance on how to present the service costs and other components of net benefit costs in the income statement. Under the new standard, an entity must report the service cost component in the same line item as other compensation costs. The other components of net benefit cost will be required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of an annual period for which financial statements have not been issued or made available for issuance. This new guidance will require a retrospective adoption approach for the classification of components of net periodic benefit cost in the income statement. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2017-07 on the condensed consolidated financial statements. In November 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-18 "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 320): Restricted Cash" ("ASU 2016-18"), which clarifies guidance on the classification and presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. This new guidance will require a retrospective adoption approach. The Company believes the adoption of ASU 2016-18 will not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. In October 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-16 "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfer of Assets Other Than Inventory" ("ASU 2016-16"), which requires the recognition of the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs rather than waiting until the asset is sold to an outside party. Assets covered under the scope of ASU 2016-16 include intellectual property and property, plant and equipment. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. This new guidance will require a modified retrospective transition approach, where the entity will need to apply a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings (accumulated deficit) as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. The Company has adopted this standard as of January 1, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2016-16 did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-15 "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments" ("ASU 2016-15"), which is intended to reduce diversity in practice, providing guidance on eight specific cash flow classification issues with regards to how the cash receipts and cash payments are presented within the statements of cash flows. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. This new guidance will require a retrospective adoption approach unless it is impracticable to apply, in which case the guidance should be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. The Company believes the adoption of ASU 2016-15 will not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-13 "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" ("ASU 2016-13"), which changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. Under the new guidance, entities will be required to measure expected credit losses for financial instruments, including trade receivables, based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable forecasts. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. This new guidance will require a modified retrospective transition approach, where the entity will need to apply a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings (accumulated deficit) as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on the condensed consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-09 "Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" ("ASU 2016-09"), which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments, including income tax consequences, accounting for forfeitures, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statements of cash flows. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. During the second quarter of 2016, the Company elected to early adopt ASU 2016-09. See Note 15 , " Equity Incentive Programs ," for the Company's policy election on accounting for forfeitures. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-07 "Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting" ("ASU 2016-07"), which simplifies the equity method of accounting by eliminating the requirement to retrospectively apply equity method accounting to an investment that subsequently qualifies for such accounting as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence. Instead, the equity method of accounting will be applied prospectively as an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence occurs. The Company has adopted this standard as of January 1, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2016-16 did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-02 "Leases (Topic 842)" ("ASU 2016-02"), which establishes a right-of-use model requiring a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than twelve months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. The guidance also requires additional disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. This new guidance will require a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to elect to use certain transition relief. The modified retrospective transition approach would require the application of the new accounting model for the earliest year presented in the financial statements. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on the condensed consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)" ("ASU 2014-09"), which provides revised guidance on recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. Under this guidance, an entity will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to the customer in the amount that reflects what it expects in exchange for the goods or services. This guidance also requires more detailed disclosures to enable users of the financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of the revenue and cash flow arising from contracts with customers. This guidance allows the option of either a full retrospective adoption, meaning the guidance is applied to all periods presented, or a modified retrospective adoption, meaning the guidance is applied only to the most current period. As amended, ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company plans to adopt the standard in the first quarter of 2018. The Company has established a cross-functional implementation team to evaluate the impact of ASU 2014-09 on the consolidated financial statements. The Company has identified and is in the process of implementing changes to its systems, processes and internal controls to meet the standard's reporting and disclosure requirements. The Company continues to assess all potential impacts of the standard. Currently, the Company believes there is a potential impact related to the timing of revenue recognition, because contracts with customers may qualify for over-time revenue recognition, rather than point-in-time revenue recognition, which is the Company's current policy. As of March 31, 2017, the Company's evaluation of the timing of revenue recognition within each of its operating and reportable segments is ongoing. If the Company determines some contracts qualify for revenue recognition over-time, the impact on the date of adoption could be significant to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company currently anticipates applying the modified retrospective approach when adopting this guidance.
