Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Overview and Basis of Presentation	Note 1. Overview and Basis of Presentation Description of Business Donnelley Financial Solutions, Inc. (“DFIN,” or the “Company”) is a leading global risk and compliance solutions company. The Company provides regulatory filing solutions, software-as-a-service (“SaaS”), technology-enabled services and print and distribution solutions to public and private companies, mutual funds and other regulated investment firms, to serve their regulatory and compliance needs. For corporate clients within its capital markets offerings, the Company offers technology-enabled filing solutions that allow U.S. public companies to comply with applicable U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regulations including filing agent services, digital document creation and online content management tools that support their corporate financial transactions and regulatory reporting; solutions to facilitate clients’ communications with their shareholders; and virtual data rooms and other deal management solutions. For the investment markets, including alternative investment and insurance investment companies, the Company provides technology-enabled filing solutions including cloud-based tools for creating and filing high-quality regulatory documents and solutions for investors designed to improve the speed and accuracy of their access to investment information. Throughout a company’s life cycle, the Company serves its clients’ regulatory and compliance needs. The Company’s deep industry and regulatory expertise and a commitment to exceptional service guides our clients to navigate a high-stakes and ever-changing regulatory environment. DFIN’s Registration Statement on Form 10, as amended, was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 20, 2016. On October 1, 2016, DFIN became an independent publicly traded company through the distribution by R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company (“RRD”) of approximately 26.2 million shares, or 80.75%, of DFIN common stock to RRD shareholders (the “Separation”). Holders of RRD common stock received one share of DFIN common stock for every eight shares of RRD common stock held on September 23, 2016. As part of the Separation, RRD retained approximately 6.2 million shares of DFIN common stock, or a 19.25% interest in DFIN. DFIN’s common stock began regular-way trading under the ticker symbol “DFIN” on the New York Stock Exchange on October 3, 2016. On October 1, 2016, RRD also completed the previously announced separation of LSC Communications, Inc. (“LSC”), its publishing and retail-centric print services and office products business. On March 28, 2017, RRD completed the sale of 6.2 million shares of LSC common stock (RRD’s remaining ownership stake in LSC) in an underwritten public offering. As a result, beginning in the quarter ended June 30, 2017, LSC no longer qualified as a related party of the Company, therefore amounts disclosed related to LSC are presented through March 31, 2017 only. On March 24, 2017, pursuant to the Stockholder and Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of September 30, 2016, by and between the Company and RRD, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 to register the offering and sale of shares of the Company’s common stock retained by RRD. The Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended, was declared effective by the SEC on June 13, 2017. On June 21, 2017, RRD completed the sale of approximately 6.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock in an underwritten public offering. Upon the consummation of the offering, RRD retained approximately 0.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock which were subsequently sold by RRD on August 4, 2017. In conjunction with the underwritten public offering, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase approximately 0.9 million of the Company’s shares (the “Option Shares”). The Company received approximately $18.8 million in net proceeds from the sale of the Option Shares, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions. The proceeds were used to reduce outstanding debt under the Revolving Facility (as defined in Note 15, Debt ). Beginning in the quarter ended September 30, 2017, RRD no longer qualified as a related party, therefore amounts disclosed related to RRD are presented through June 30, 2017 only. On September 14, 2016, the Company and LSC entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement with RRD to effect the distribution of the Company’s and LSC’s common stock to RRD’s common stockholders (the “Separation and Distribution Agreement”). This agreement governs the Company’s relationship with RRD and LSC with respect to pre-Separation matters and provides for the allocation of employee benefit, litigation and other liabilities and obligations attributable to periods prior to the Separation. The Separation and Distribution Agreement also includes an agreement that the Company, RRD and LSC will provide each other with appropriate indemnities with respect to liabilities arising out of the businesses being distributed and retained by RRD in the Separation. The Separation and Distribution Agreement also addresses employee compensation and benefit matters. In connection with the Separation, the Company entered into transition services agreements separately with RRD and LSC, under which, in exchange for the fees specified in the arrangements, RRD and LSC agree to provide certain services to the Company and the Company agrees to provide certain services to RRD, respectively. These services have included, but are not limited to, information technology, accounts receivable, accounts payable, payroll and other financial and administrative services and functions. Most of the services provided under the transition services agreements terminated at September 30, 2018 or earlier. Under certain transition services agreements, RRD agreed to provide information technology services to the Company for up to 36 months following the Separation. These agreements facilitated the separation by allowing the Company to operate independently prior to establishing stand-alone back office systems across its organization. At the time of the Separation, the Company entered into a number of commercial and other arrangements with RRD and its subsidiaries. These include, among other things, arrangements for the provision of services, including global outsourcing and logistics services, printing and binding, digital printing, composition, and access to technology. The terms of the arrangements with RRD do not exceed 36 months. Subsequent to the Separation, RRD and LSC are clients of the Company and expect to utilize SaaS solutions and services that the Company provides to all of its clients. Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated and combined financial statements reflect the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations of the Company as an independent, publicly traded company for the periods after the Separation and the combined results of operations for the periods prior to the Separation. Prior to the Separation, the combined financial statements were prepared on a stand-alone basis and were derived from RRD’s consolidated financial statements and accounting records. The consolidated and combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. For periods prior to the Separation, the consolidated and combined financial statements include the allocation of certain assets and liabilities that were historically held at the RRD corporate level but which were specifically identifiable or attributable to the Company. Cash and cash equivalents held by RRD were not allocated to DFIN unless they were held in a legal entity that was transferred to DFIN. All intercompany transactions and accounts within DFIN have been eliminated. All intracompany transactions between RRD and DFIN are considered to be effectively settled in the consolidated and combined financial statements at the time the transaction is recorded. The total net effect of the settlement of these intracompany transactions is reflected in the consolidated and combined statements of cash flows as a financing activity and in the consolidated and combined statements of equity as net parent company investment. Net parent company investment is primarily impacted by contributions from RRD which are the result of treasury activities and net funding provided by or distributed to RRD. Prior to the Separation, the consolidated and combined financial statements include certain expenses of RRD which were allocated to DFIN for certain functions, including general corporate expenses related to information technology, finance, legal, human resources, internal audit, treasury, tax, investor relations and executive oversight. These expenses were allocated to the Company on the basis of direct usage, when available, with the remainder allocated on the pro rata basis of revenue, employee headcount, or other measures. The Company considers the expense methodology and results to be reasonable for all periods presented. However, these allocations may not be indicative of the actual expenses that would have been incurred as an independent public company or the costs that may be incurred in the future. For periods prior to the Separation, the income tax amounts in the consolidated and combined financial statements were calculated based on a separate income tax return methodology and presented as if the Company’s operations were separate taxpayers in the respective jurisdictions. RRD maintained various benefit and share-based compensation plans at a corporate level. DFIN employees participated in those programs and a portion of the cost of those plans is included in DFIN’s consolidated and combined financial statements for periods prior to the Separation. On October 1, 2016, DFIN recorded net pension plan liabilities of $68.3 million (consisting of a total benefit plan liability of $317.0 million, net of plan assets having fair market value of $248.7 million), as a result of the transfer of certain pension plan liabilities and assets from RRD to the Company upon the legal split of those plans. The pension plan asset allocation from RRD was finalized on June 30, 2017, which resulted in a $0.7 million decrease to the fair value of plan assets transferred to the Company from RRD. The Company also recorded a net other postretirement benefit liability of $1.5 million, as a result of the transfer of an other postretirement benefit plan from RRD to the Company. Refer to Note 13, Retirement Plans DFIN generates a portion of net revenue from sales to RRD’s subsidiaries. Included in the consolidated and combined financial statements are net revenues from sales to RRD and affiliates of $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and $19.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, respectively. DFIN utilizes RRD for freight and logistics, production of certain printed products and outsourced business services functions. Included in the consolidated and combined financial statements are cost of sales to RRD and affiliates of $51.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and $95.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, respectively. See Note Related Parties, Changes in Presentation Certain prior year amounts have been restated to conform to the Company’s current reporting unit structure. Due to the sale of the Language Solutions business, the Company made changes to the reporting units within the U.S. segment. The former Language Solutions and other reporting unit has been renamed “Language Solutions.” Certain results previously included within the former Language Solutions and other reporting unit are now included within the Investment Markets reporting unit.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies	Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies Use of Estimates —The preparation of consolidated and combined financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires the extensive use of management’s estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for items and matters including, but not limited to, allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, inventory obsolescence, asset valuations and useful lives, employee benefits, taxes, restructuring and other provisions and contingencies. Foreign Operations —Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates 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 other comprehensive income (loss) while transaction gains and losses are recorded in net earnings. Deferred taxes are not provided on cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments when the Company expects foreign earnings to be indefinitely reinvested. Fair Value Measurements— Certain assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. 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. The Company records the fair value of its pension plan assets on a recurring basis. See Note 13, , for the fair value of the Company’s pension plan assets as of December 31, 2018. The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-01 “Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“ASU 2016-01”) on January 1, 2018, which requires that investments in equity securities, except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation, to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The Company measures its equity investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value, at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. 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. Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include long-lived assets held and used, long-lived assets held for sale, goodwill and other intangible assets. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term debt and accounts payable approximate their carrying values. The three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes valuation methodologies based on the reliability of the inputs, is: Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets. Level 2 — Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 — Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. Revenue Recognition — The Company manages highly-customized data and materials, such as Exchange Act, Securities Act and Investment Company Act filings with the SEC on behalf of its customers and performs XBRL and related services. The Company’s SaaS offerings include the Venue Virtual Data Room, the FundSuiteArc software platform, ActiveDisclosure and data and analytics, among others. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised services or products to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those services or products. The Company’s arrangements with customers often include promises to transfer multiple services or products to a customer. Determining whether services and products are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately requires significant judgment. Certain customer arrangements have multiple performance obligations as certain promises are both capable of being distinct and are distinct within the context of the contract. Other customer arrangements have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts, and therefore are not distinct. Because substantially all of the Company’s products are customized, product returns are not significant; however, the Company accrues for the estimated amount of customer credits at the time of sale. The Company records deferred revenue in situations when amounts are invoiced but the revenue recognition criteria outlined above are not met. Such revenue is recognized when all criteria are subsequently met. Certain revenues earned by the Company require significant judgment to determine if revenue should be recorded gross, as a principal, or net of related costs, as an agent. Billings for shipping and handling costs as well as certain postage costs, and out-of-pocket expenses are recorded gross. Revenue is not recognized for customer-supplied postage. The Company’s printing operations process paper that may be supplied directly by customers or may be purchased by the Company from third parties and sold to customers. Revenue is not recognized for customer-supplied paper, however revenues for Company-supplied paper are recognized on a gross basis. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to authorities. Refer to Note 3, Revenue , for a discussion of the impact of the 2018 Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”) . Cash and cash equivalents —The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Short-term securities consist of investment grade instruments of governments, financial institutions and corporations. Receivables— Receivables are stated net of allowances for doubtful accounts and primarily include trade receivables, notes receivable and miscellaneous receivables from suppliers. No single customer comprised more than 10% of the Company’s net sales in 2018, 2017 or 2016. 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, for details of activity affecting the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable. Inventories —Inventories include material, labor and factory overhead and are stated at the lower of cost or market and net of excess and obsolescence reserves for raw materials. Provisions for excess and obsolete inventories are made at differing rates, utilizing historical data and current economic trends, based upon the age and type of the inventory. Specific excess and obsolescence provisions are also made when a review of specific balances indicates that the inventories will not be utilized in production or sold. Inventory is valued using the First-In, First-Out (FIFO) method. Long-Lived Assets —The Company assesses potential impairments to its long-lived assets if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. An impaired asset is written down to its estimated fair value based upon the most recent information available. Estimated fair market value is generally measured by discounting estimated future cash flows. Long-lived assets, other than goodwill, are recorded at the lower of the carrying value or the fair market value less the estimated cost to sell. Property, plant and equipment —Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Useful lives range from 15 to 40 years for buildings, the lesser of 7 years or the lease term for leasehold improvements and from 3 to 15 years for machinery and equipment. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred. Major overhauls that extend the useful lives of existing assets are capitalized. When properties are retired or disposed, the costs and accumulated depreciation are eliminated and the resulting profit or loss is recognized in the results of operations. Software — The Company incurs costs to develop software applications for internal-use and for the development of SaaS solutions sold to its clients. These costs include both direct costs from third-party vendors and eligible salaries and payroll-related costs of employees. The Company capitalizes costs associated with internal-use software and SaaS solutions when management with the relevant authority authorizes and commits to the funding of the software project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the functions intended. Costs associated with upgrades and enhancements of internal-use software and SaaS solutions are capitalized only if such modifications result in additional functionality of the software, whereas costs incurred for preliminary project stage activities, training, project management and maintenance is expensed as incurred. Capitalized software development costs are amortized over their estimated useful life using the straight-line method, up to a maximum of three years. Amortization expense related to internally-developed software, excluding amortization expense related to other intangible assets, was $24.3 million, $22.5 million and $20.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Goodwill —Goodwill is either assigned to a specific reporting unit or allocated between reporting units based on the relative fair value of each reporting unit. The Company's goodwill balances were reallocated from RRD’s historical reporting units based on the relative fair values of the businesses. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually 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 amount. For certain reporting units, the Company may perform a qualitative, rather than quantitative, assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. In performing this qualitative analysis, the Company considers various factors, including the excess of prior year estimates of fair value compared to carrying value, the effect of market or industry changes and the reporting units’ actual results compared to projected results. Based on this qualitative analysis, if management determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying value, no further impairment testing is performed. For the remaining reporting units, the Company compares each reporting unit’s fair value, estimated based on comparable company market valuations and expected future discounted cash flows to be generated by the reporting unit, to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, the Company will recognize an impairment loss for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value. The Company also performs an interim review for indicators of impairment at each quarter-end to assess whether an interim impairment review is required for any reporting unit. In the Company’s annual review at October 31, 2018, and its interim review for indicators of impairment as of December 31, 2018, management concluded that there were no indicators that the fair value of any of the reporting units with goodwill was more likely than not below its carrying amount. Other intangible assets are recognized separately from goodwill and are amortized over their estimated useful lives. See Note 6, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, Share-Based Compensation — In periods prior to the Separation, RRD maintained an incentive share-based compensation program for the benefit of its officers, directors, and certain employees, including certain DFIN employees. For those periods share-based compensation expense has been allocated to the Company based on the awards and terms previously granted to the Company’s employees as well as an allocation of compensation expense to RRD’s corporate and shared functional employees. Subsequent to the Separation, the Company recognizes share-based compensation expense based on estimated fair values for all share-based awards made to employees and directors, including stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance-based restricted stock and performance share units (“PSUs”). The Company recognizes compensation expense for RSUs and PSUs expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. The Company recognizes compensation expense for performance based restricted stock awards granted in 2016 utilizing a graded vesting schedule. Compensation expense for performance based restricted stock awards granted in 2017, which cliff vest, is recognized on a straight-line basis. Compensation expense for stock options is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. See Note 17, Share-Based Compensation, Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans — Prior to the Separation, RRD provided pension and other postretirement healthcare benefits to certain current and former employees of DFIN. DFIN’s consolidated and combined statements of operations include expense allocations for these benefits. These allocations were funded through intercompany transactions with RRD which are reflected within net parent company investment in DFIN. On October 1, 2016, DFIN recorded net pension plan liabilities of $68.3 million (consisting of a total benefit plan liability of $317.0 million, net of plan assets having fair market value of $248.7 million), as a result of the transfer of certain pension plan liabilities and assets from RRD to the Company upon the legal split of those plans. The pension plan asset allocation from RRD was finalized on June 30, 2017, which resulted in a $0.7 million decrease to the fair value of plan assets transferred to the Company from RRD. DFIN engages outside actuaries to assist in the determination of the obligations and costs under these plans. The annual income and expense amounts relating to the pension plan are based on calculations which include various actuarial assumptions including, mortality expectations, discount rates and expected long-term rates of return. The Company reviews its actuarial assumptions on an annual basis and makes modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends when it is deemed appropriate to do so. The effects of modifications on the value of plan obligations and assets is recognized immediately within other comprehensive income (loss) and amortized into operating earnings over future periods. 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. Refer to Note 13, Retirement Plans Taxes on Income - In the Company’s combined financial statements prior to Separation, income tax expense and deferred tax balances were calculated on a separate income tax return basis although the Company’s operations have historically been included in the tax returns filed by the respective RRD entities of which the Company’s business was a part. As a standalone entity, the Company will file tax returns on its own behalf and its deferred taxes and effective tax rate may differ from those in historical periods. Deferred taxes are provided using an asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. The Company maintains an income taxes payable or receivable account in each jurisdiction and, with the exception of certain entities outside the U.S. that transferred to the Company at Separation, the Company is deemed to settle current tax balances with the RRD tax paying entities in the respective jurisdictions. 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 financial statements when it is more likely than not ( i.e., Income Taxes, Commitments and Contingencies - The Company is subject to lawsuits, investigations and other claims related to environmental, employment, commercial and other matters, as well as preference claims related to amounts received from customers and others prior to their seeking bankruptcy protection. Periodically, the Company reviews the status of each significant matter and assesses potential financial exposure. See Note 12, , for further discussion. Restructuring - The Company records restructuring charges when liabilities are incurred as part of a plan approved by management with the appropriate level of authority for the elimination of duplicative functions, the closure of facilities, or the exit of a line of business, generally in order to reduce the Company’s overall cost structure. See Note 5, , for further discussion.

Revenue Recognition [Abstract]
Revenue	Note 3. Revenue Revenue Recognition The Company manages highly-customized data and materials, such as Exchange Act, Securities Act and Investment Company Act filings with the SEC on behalf of its customers, manages virtual data rooms and performs XBRL and related services. Clients are provided with EDGAR filing services, XBRL compliance services and translation, editing, interpreting, proof-reading and multilingual typesetting services, among others. The Company’s SaaS offerings include the Venue Virtual Data Room, the FundSuiteArc software platform, ActiveDisclosure and data and analytics, among others. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is derived from contracts with an initial expected duration of one year or less. Generally, customer payment is due within ten days upon invoicing. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised services or products to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those services or products. The Company’s arrangements with customers often include promises to transfer multiple services or products to a customer. Determining whether services and products are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately requires significant judgment. Certain customer arrangements have multiple performance obligations as certain promises are both capable of being distinct and are distinct within the context of the contract. Other customer arrangements have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts, and therefore are not distinct. Revenue for the Company’s services and products is recognized either over time or at a point in time, as outlined below. Over time The Company recognizes revenue for certain services over time. • The Company’s SaaS solutions, including the Venue Virtual Data Room, the FundSuiteArc software platform, ActiveDisclosure, data and analytics and others, are generally provided on a subscription basis and allow customers access to use the products over the contract period. As a result, revenue for SaaS solutions are recognized ratably over time as the customer receives the benefit throughout the contract period. The timing of invoicing varies, however the customer may be invoiced before the end of the contract period, resulting in a deferred revenue balance. • Revenue for warehousing services are recognized ratably over time as the customer receives the benefit throughout the storage period. Point in time All remaining revenue arrangements are generally recognized at a point in time and are primarily invoiced upon completion of all services or upon shipment to the customer. • Certain of these arrangements include multiple performance obligations and revenue is recognized upon completion of each performance obligation, such as when a document is filed with a regulatory agency and upon completion of printing the related document. For arrangements with multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations. The Company provides customer specific solutions and as such, observable standalone selling price is rarely available. Standalone selling price is more frequently determined using an estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct service or product, taking into consideration historical selling price by customer for each distinct service or product. These estimates may vary from the final amounts invoiced to the customer and are adjusted upon completion of all performance obligations. Customers may be invoiced subsequent to the recognition of revenue for completed performance obligations , resulting in contract asset balances. • Revenue for arrangements which include assisting customers in completing regulatory filings for transactions, such as mergers and acquisitions or other public capital market transactions, is recognized upon completion of all promises, including the services performed and printing of the related document, if applicable. • Revenue for arrangements without a regulatory filing generally have a single performance obligation, as the services and products provided are not distinct within the context of the contract, and are recognized upon completion of the services performed or upon completion of printing of the related product. • Warehousing, fulfillment services and shipping and handling are each separate performance obligations. As a result, when the Company provides warehousing and future fulfillment services, revenue for the composition services performed and printing of the product is recognized upon completion of the performance obligation(s), as control of the inventory has transferred to the customer and the inventory is being stored at the customer’s request. Because substantially all of the Company’s products are customized, product returns are not significant; however, the Company accrues for the estimated amount of customer credits at the time of sale. The Company records deferred revenue when amounts are invoiced but the revenue recognition criteria are not yet met. Such revenue is recognized when all criteria are subsequently met. Certain revenues earned by the Company require significant judgment to determine if revenue should be recorded gross, as a principal, or net of related costs, as an agent. Billings for shipping and handling costs as well as certain postage costs, and out-of-pocket expenses are recorded gross. Revenue is not recognized for customer-supplied postage. The Company’s printing operations process paper that may be supplied directly by customers or may be purchased by the Company from third parties and sold to customers. Revenue is not recognized for customer-supplied paper, however revenues for Company-supplied paper are recognized on a gross basis. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to authorities. Adoption of ASU 2014-09 In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue using a five-step process that supersedes virtually all existing revenue guidance. ASU 2014-09 also requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures. On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the standard and all related amendments, using the modified retrospective approach applied to contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. The Company recognized the cumulative effect of applying the standard as an opening transition adjustment to retained earnings. The comparative periods have not been restated and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods (“Previous Revenue Standard”). As a result of the adoption of ASU 2014-09, revenue recognition has been accelerated for certain arrangements with multiple performance obligations as revenue is now recognized upon the completion of each performance obligation rather than upon completion of all services and shipment of the related document, if applicable. Revenue has also been accelerated for certain inventory which has been invoiced but not yet shipped at the customer’s request. Additionally, certain revenues related to virtual data room services have been deferred to be recognized over the term of the contract. As substantially all of the Company’s revenue is derived from contracts with an initial expected duration of one year or less, the Company has applied the practical expedient for performance obligations related to contracts with an initial duration of less than one year and is therefore not required to disclose information regarding remaining performance obligations at the end of the reporting period. The Company has also elected the practical expedient to recognize costs to obtain the contract, primarily commissions, as incurred. The cumulative effect of the changes made to the Company’s consolidated January 1, 2018 balance sheet for the adoption of ASU 2014-09 were as follows: Balance at December 31, 2017 Adoption of ASU 2014-09 Balance at January 1, 2018 Assets Receivables, less allowances for doubtful accounts $ 165.2 $ 8.9 $ 174.1 Inventories 23.3 (10.6 ) 12.7 Deferred income taxes 22.2 (0.5 ) 21.7 Total assets 893.5 (2.2 ) 891.3 Liabilities Accrued liabilities 119.2 (3.1 ) 116.1 Equity Retained earnings 8.9 0.9 9.8 Total liabilities and equity $ 893.5 $ (2.2 ) $ 891.3 The impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 and consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 was as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2018 Previous Revenue Standard Adoption of ASU 2014-09 As Reported Services net sales $ 618.1 $ (0.1 ) $ 618.0 Products net sales 345.0 — 345.0 Total net sales 963.1 (0.1 ) 963.0 Services cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) 329.4 (0.6 ) 328.8 Products costs of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) 258.5 — 258.5 Total cost of sales 587.9 (0.6 ) 587.3 Selling, general and administrative expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) 258.2 — 258.2 Income tax expense 28.9 0.2 29.1 Net earnings $ 73.3 $ 0.3 $ 73.6 Earnings per share Basic 2.17 0.01 2.18 Diluted 2.15 0.01 2.16 December 31, 2018 Previous Revenue Standard Adoption of ASU 2014-09 As Reported Assets Receivables, less allowances for doubtful accounts $ 164.4 $ 8.5 $ 172.9 Inventories 22.0 (9.9 ) 12.1 Deferred income taxes 10.3 (0.6 ) 9.7 Total assets 870.7 (2.0 ) 868.7 Liabilities Accrued liabilities 129.2 (3.2 ) 126.0 Equity Retained earnings 93.1 1.2 94.3 Total liabilities and equity $ 870.7 $ (2.0 ) 868.7 Disaggregation of revenue The following tables disaggregates revenue by reporting unit and timing of revenue recognition for the year ended December 31, 2018: Year Ended December 31, 2018 Point in time Over time Total U.S. Capital Markets $ 358.9 $ 97.1 $ 456.0 Investment Markets 291.6 50.5 342.1 Language Solutions 13.7 — 13.7 Total U.S. 664.2 147.6 811.8 International 132.2 19.0 151.2 Total net sales $ 796.4 $ 166.6 $ 963.0 Contract Balances Contract assets represent revenue recognized for performance obligations completed before an unconditional right to payment exists, and therefore invoicing has not yet occurred.

Acquisitions and Dispositions	Note 4. Acquisitions and Dispositions Acquisition On December 18, 2018, the Company acquired eBrevia, a leading provider of artificial intelligence-based data extraction and contract analytics software solutions. The eBrevia technology provides leading enterprise contract review and analysis solutions, leveraging machine learning to produce faster and more accurate results. eBrevia's software, which extracts and summarizes key legal provisions and other information, can be used in due diligence, contract management, lease abstraction and document drafting. The acquisition enhances the Company’s Venue Deal Solutions offerings to provide clients with secure data aggregation, due diligence, compliance and risk management solutions. The Company previously held a 12.8% investment in eBrevia prior to the acquisition. The purchase price for the remaining equity of eBrevia, which includes the Company’s estimate of contingent consideration, was $ million, net of cash acquired of $0.2 million. $4.1 million of the purchase price, excluding contingent consideration and amounts held in escrow, was payable as of December 31, 2018 and is expected to be paid during 2019. The fair value of the Company’s previously held investment was $3.3 million, resulting in the recognition of a $1.8 million gain, which is reflected in investment and other income in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018. The fair value of the previously held investment was determined based on the purchase price paid for the remaining equity less an estimated control premium. The former owners of eBrevia, excluding the Company, may receive additional contingent consideration of up to $3.5 million in cash subject to eBrevia achieving certain financial targets during the twenty-four months post acquisition. As of the acquisition date, the Company estimated the fair value of contingent consideration to be $0.8 million using a probability weighting of the potential payouts. Subsequent changes in the estimated contingent consideration from the final purchase price allocation will be recognized in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. The operations of eBrevia are included within the Capital Markets reporting unit in the U.S. segment. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded $0.8 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of acquisition-related expenses associated with acquisitions completed or contemplated within selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. The eBrevia acquisition was recorded by allocating the cost of the acquisition to the assets acquired, including other intangible assets, based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the cost of the acquisition over the net amounts assigned to the fair value of the assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. There is no tax deductible goodwill related to the eBrevia acquisition. The purchase price allocation for eBrevia is preliminary as the Company is still in the process of obtaining data to finalize the estimated fair values of certain account balances. The final purchase price allocation may differ from what is currently reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Based on the current valuation, the preliminary purchase price allocation for this acquisition is as follows: Accounts receivable $ 0.3 Other intangible assets 11.4 Software 0.8 Goodwill 12.8 Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (0.4 ) Deferred taxes-net (1.7 ) Total purchase price-net of cash acquired 23.2 Less: fair value of the Company's previously held investment in eBrevia (3.3 ) Less: fair value of contingent consideration (0.8 ) Less: payable for initial consideration (4.1 ) Less: amounts held in escrow and liabilities assumed (2.5 ) Net cash paid $ 12.5 Disposition On July 22, 2018, the Company sold its Language Solutions business, which helped companies adapt their business content into different languages for specific countries, markets and regions, for net proceeds of $77.5 million in cash, all of which was received as of December 31, 2018, resulting in a gain of $53.8 million, which was recognized in other operating income in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018. Language Solutions' operating results were included within the Language Solutions reporting unit within the U.S. segment as well as the International segment.

The Company anticipates that payments associated with the employee terminations reflected in the above table will be substantially completed by June 30, 2019. The restructuring liabilities classified as “lease terminations and other” consisted of lease terminations, other facility closing costs and contract termination costs. Payments on certain of the lease obligations are scheduled to continue until 2021. Market conditions and the Company’s ability to sublease these properties could affect the ultimate charges related to the lease obligations. Any potential recoveries or additional charges could affect amounts reported in the Company’s financial statements.

Investments In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, which requires that investments in equity securities, except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation, to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The Company adopted ASU 2016-01 on January 1, 2018. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-01, there was no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The carrying value of the Company’s equity investments within the scope of ASU 2016-01 was $22.1 million and $14.9 million as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies As of December 31, 2018, the Company had commitments of approximately $5.0 million for the purchase of property, plant and equipment related to an incomplete project. In addition, as of December 31, 2018, the Company had commitments of approximately $38.1 million for outsourced services, professional, maintenance and other services and $4.6 million of miscellaneous other obligations. The Company also has contractual commitments of $0.4 million for severance payments related to employee restructuring activities. Future minimum rental commitments under operating leases are as follows: Year Ended December 31 Amount 2019 $ 26.4 2020 22.6 2021 16.6 2022 10.9 2023 8.7 2024 and thereafter 16.3 $ 101.5 The Company has operating lease commitments, including those for vacated facilities, totaling $101.5 million extending through various periods to 2026. Lease terms for some locations provide for rent escalations and renewal options, with some leases requiring payment for taxes, insurance and maintenance. Escalation terms and renewal options vary by market and lease. Future rental commitments for leases have not been reduced by minimum non-cancelable sublease rentals aggregating approximately $28.5 million. The Company remains secondarily liable under these leases in the event that the sub-lessee defaults under the sublease terms. The Company does not believe that material payments will be required as a result of the secondary liability provisions of the primary lease agreements. Rent expense for facilities in use and equipment was $25.1 million, $27.4 million and $23.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Rent expense for vacated facilities was recognized as restructuring, impairment and other charges. See Note 5 Restructuring, Impairment and Other Charges, for further details. Litigation From time to time, the Company’s customers and others file voluntary petitions for reorganization under United States bankruptcy laws. In such cases, certain pre-petition payments received by the Company from these parties could be considered preference items and subject to return. In addition, the Company may be party to certain litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that the final resolution of these preference items and litigation will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Compensation And Retirement Disclosure [Abstract]
Retirement Plans	Note 13. Retirement Plans DFIN’s Participation in RRD’s Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans RRD provided pension and other postretirement healthcare benefits to certain current and former employees of DFIN. DFIN’s consolidated and combined statements of operations include expense allocations for these benefits. These allocations were funded through intercompany transactions with RRD which are reflected within net parent company investment in DFIN. Total RRD pension and postretirement benefit plan net income allocated to DFIN, related to pension cost and postretirement benefits was $4.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2016. Included in this amount is an allocation for other postretirement benefit plans for $1.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2016. This allocation is reflected in the Company’s selling, general and administrative expenses. DFIN’s Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans On October 1, 2016, DFIN recorded net pension plan liabilities of $68.3 million (consisting of a total benefit plan liability of $317.0 million, net of plan assets having fair market value of $248.7 million), as a result of the transfer of certain pension plan liabilities and assets from RRD to the Company upon the legal split of those plans. The pension plan asset allocation from RRD was finalized on June 30, 2017, which resulted in a $0.7 million decrease to the fair value of plan assets transferred to the Company from RRD. The Company also recorded a net other postretirement benefit liability of $1.5 million, as a result of the transfer of an other postretirement benefit plan from RRD to the Company. The Company’s primary defined benefit plan is frozen. No new employees are permitted to enter the Company’s frozen plan and participants will earn no additional benefits. Benefits are generally based upon years of service and compensation. These defined benefit retirement income plans are funded in conformity with the applicable government regulations. The Company funds at least the minimum amount required for all funded plans using actuarial cost methods and assumptions acceptable under government regulations. The annual income and expense amounts relating to the pension plan are based on calculations which include various actuarial assumptions including, mortality expectations, discount rates and expected long-term rates of return. The Company reviews its actuarial assumptions on an annual basis as of December 31 (or more frequently if a significant event requiring remeasurement occurs) 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 amortized into operating earnings over future periods, with the deferred amount recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Total pension income was $3.2 million, $3.3 million and $1.0 million in 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-07 “Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost” (“ASU 2017-07”), which requires an employer to report the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the same line item(s) as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. The other components of net periodic benefit cost are presented in the income statement separately from the line item(s) that includes the service cost and outside of any subtotal of operating income. ASU 2017-07 was adopted on a retrospective basis. The adoption of ASU 2017-07 resulted in the presentation of net pension income within investment and other income in the consolidated statement of operations instead of selling, general and administrative expenses. Prior period net pension income was also reclassified. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company adopted the Society of Actuaries RP-2014 mortality tables which were used in the calculation of the Company’s U.S. pension obligations. The new mortality tables increased the expected life of plan participants, extending the length of time that payments may be required and increasing the plans’ total expected benefit payments. During the years ended December 31, 2016, and December 31, 2017, the Company adopted updates to the Society of Actuaries RP-2014 mortality tables. The 2016 and 2017 mortality table updates both resulted in a partial reversal of the 2014 increases in the expected life of plan participants and benefit obligations. The Company made cash contributions of $1.8 million and $0.1 million to its pension and other postretirement benefit plans, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company expects to make cash contributions of approximately $1.2 million and $0.1 million to its pension and other postretirement benefit plans, respectively, in 2019. The pension plan obligations are calculated using generally accepted actuarial methods and are measured as of December 31. Actuarial gains and losses for frozen plans are amortized using the corridor method over the average remaining expected life of active plan participants. The components of the estimated net pension plan income for DFIN’s pension plans for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 were as follows: Pension Benefits 2018 2017 2016 Interest cost $ 10.3 $ 10.6 $ 2.4 Expected return on plan assets (16.0 ) (16.0 ) (4.1 ) Amortization of actuarial loss 2.5 2.1 0.7 Net periodic benefit income $ (3.2 ) $ (3.3 ) $ (1.0 ) Weighted average assumption used to calculate net periodic benefit expense: Discount rate 3.7 % 4.2 % 3.7 % Expected return on plan assets 6.8 % 7.0 % 7.3 % Reconciliation of funded status Pension Benefits Other Postretirement Benefits 2018 2017 2018 2017 Benefit obligation at beginning of year $ 309.9 $ 293.3 $ 1.2 $ 1.2 Interest cost 10.3 10.6 — — Actuarial (gain) loss (25.8 ) 22.9 — — Foreign currency translation — — (0.1 ) 0.1 Benefits paid (14.0 ) (16.9 ) (0.1 ) (0.1 ) Benefit obligation at end of year $ 280.4 $ 309.9 $ 1.0 $ 1.2 Fair value of plan assets at beginning of year $ 256.4 $ 235.8 $ — $ — Actual return on assets (15.3 ) 36.1 — — Employer contributions 1.8 2.1 0.1 0.1 Plan transfer — (0.7 ) — — Benefits paid (14.0 ) (16.9 ) (0.1 ) (0.1 ) Fair value of plan assets at end of year $ 228.9 $ 256.4 $ — $ — Funded status at end of year $ (51.5 ) $ (53.5 ) $ (1.0 ) $ (1.2 ) The accumulated benefit obligation for all defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans was $281.4 million and $311.1 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

As a result of the plan freezes, the actuarial gains and losses are recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs over the average remaining life of a plan’s active employees. The amounts in accumulated other comprehensive loss that are expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit costs in 2019 are shown below: Pension Benefits Amortization of: Net actuarial loss $ 1.7 Total $ 1.7 The weighted average assumptions used to determine the benefit obligation at the measurement date were as follows: Pension Benefits Other Postretirement Benefits 2018 2017 2018 2017 Discount rate 4.4 % 3.7 % 3.5 % 3.3 % The following table provides a summary of under-funded or unfunded pension benefit plans with projected benefit obligations in excess of plan assets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017: Pension Benefits 2018 2017 Projected benefit obligation $ 280.4 $ 309.9 Fair value of plan assets 228.9 256.4 As discussed above, the Company’s defined benefit plan is frozen and no new employees are permitted to enter the plan. Participants do not earn additional service benefits. Consequently the projected benefit obligation and accumulated benefit obligation are the same amounts. Benefit payments are expected to be paid as follows: Pension Benefits Other Postretirement Benefits 2019 $ 16.1 $ 0.1 2020 17.5 0.1 2021 17.4 0.1 2022 18.9 0.1 2023 18.1 0.1 2024-2028 91.8 0.4 Plan Assets The Company’s U.S. pension plans are frozen and the Company has a risk management approach for its U.S. pension plan assets. The overall investment objective of this approach is to reduce the risk of significant decreases in the plan’s funded status by allocating a larger portion of the plan’s assets to investments expected to hedge the impact of interest rate risks on the plan’s obligation. The expected long-term rate of return for plan assets is based upon many factors including asset allocations, historical asset returns, current and expected future market conditions, risk and active management premiums. The target asset allocation percentage as of December 31, 2018, for the primary U.S. pension plan was approximately 50.0% for return seeking investments and approximately 50.0% for fixed income investments. The Company segregated its plan assets by the following major categories and levels for determining their fair value as of 201 8 : Cash and cash equivalents— Carrying value approximates fair value. As such, these assets were classified as Level 1. The Company also invests in certain short-term investments which are valued using the amortized cost method. As such, these assets were classified as Level 2. Equity— The values of individual equity securities were based on quoted prices in active markets. As such, these assets are classified as Level 1. Fixed income— Fixed income securities are typically priced based on a valuation model rather than a last trade basis and are not exchange-traded. These valuation models involve utilizing dealer quotes, analyzing market information, estimating prepayment speeds and evaluating underlying collateral. Accordingly, the Company classified these fixed income securities as Level 2. Fixed income securities also include investments in various asset-backed securities that are part of a government sponsored program. The prices of these asset-backed securities were obtained by independent third parties using multi-dimensional, collateral specific prepayments tables. Inputs include monthly payment information and collateral performance. As the values of these assets was determined based on models incorporating observable inputs, these assets were classified as Level 2. Real estate funds— Real estate fund assets are valued by third-party appraisers utilizing valuation approaches based upon current cost to reproduce, discounted cash flows or relative sales value of comparable properties. Key inputs and assumptions used to determine fair value include rental revenue and expenses, revenue and expense growth rates, terminal capitalization rates and discount rates. As the value of these assets was determined based on observable inputs obtained by third parties, the Company classified these assets as Level 2. The Company invests in certain funds that are valued at calculated net asset value per share (“NAV”), but are not quoted on active markets. The Company believes that the NAV is representative of fair value at the reporting date, as there are no significant restrictions on redemption of these investments or other reasons to indicate that the investment would be redeemed at an amount different than the NAV. For Level 2 plan assets, management reviews significant investments on a quarterly basis including investigation of unusual fluctuations in price or returns and obtaining an understanding of the pricing methodology to assess the reliability of third-party pricing estimates. 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 fair values of the Company’s pension plan assets at December 31, 2018 and 2017, by asset category were as follows: December 31, 2018 Asset Category Total Level 1 Level 2 Cash and cash equivalents $ 1.5 $ 1.2 $ 0.3 Real estate funds 9.5 — 9.5 Assets measured at NAV 217.9 — — Total $ 228.9 $ 1.2 $ 9.8 December 31, 2017 Asset Category Total Level 1 Level 2 Cash and cash equivalents $ 7.0 $ 3.2 $ 3.8 Equity 63.5 63.5 — Fixed income 87.1 — 87.1 Assets measured at NAV 98.8 — — Total $ 256.4 $ 66.7 $ 90.9 Employer 401(k) Savings Plan — For the benefit of most of its U.S. employees, the Company maintains a defined contribution retirement savings plan (401(k)) that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under this plan, employees may contribute a percentage of eligible compensation on both a before-tax and after-tax basis. The Company provided a 401(k) discretionary match to participants in 201 8 and 201 7 , payable to participants' accounts in the first quarter of 201 9 and in the first quarter of 201 8 , respectively . The total expense attributable to the match was $ million and $ 3.4 million for the year s ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively . The Company did no t provide a 401(k) discretionary match to participants in 2016 . Multi-Employer Pension Plans — The Company no longer participates in any active defined benefit multi-employer pension plans. During each of the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, the Company incurred additional charges of $0.2 million related to its complete withdrawal from one multi-employer pension plan in 2013. These charges were recorded as restructuring, impairment and other charges and represent the Company’s best estimate of the expected settlement of these withdrawal liabilities. See Note 5, to the consolidated and combined financial statements for further details of charges related to complete multi-employer pension plan withdrawal liabilities recognized in the consolidated and combined statements of operations.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Note 14. Income Taxes For periods prior to the Separation, income tax expense and deferred tax balances were calculated on a separate tax return basis although the Company’s operations in certain circumstances, particularly the U.S. and Canada, have historically been included in the tax returns filed by the respective RRD entities of which the Company’s business was a part. Beginning October 1, 2016, as a stand-alone entity, the Company files tax returns on its own behalf and its deferred taxes and effective tax rate may differ from those in the historical periods. The Company maintains an income taxes payable or receivable account in each jurisdiction and with the exception of certain entities outside the U.S. that transferred to the Company at Separation, the Company is deemed to settle current tax balances for the period prior to the Separation with the RRD tax-paying entities in the respective jurisdictions. These settlements are reflected as changes in net parent company investment in the consolidated and combined balance sheets. Income taxes have been based on the following components of earnings from operations before income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016: 2018 2017 2016 U.S. $ 69.3 $ 49.1 $ 84.9 Foreign 33.4 7.1 9.4 Total $ 102.7 $ 56.2 $ 94.3 The components of income tax expense (benefit) from operations for the years ended December 31, 2018 , 201 7 and 201 6 were as follows: 2018 2017 2016 Current: U.S. Federal $ 6.9 $ 12.5 $ 28.6 U.S. State and Local 5.3 5.1 9.0 Foreign 6.3 3.4 3.5 Current income tax expense 18.5 21.0 41.1 Non-Current: U.S. Federal 0.1 12.5 — U.S. State and Local — 0.6 — Non-current income tax expense 0.1 13.1 — Deferred: U.S. Federal 6.8 13.3 (3.1 ) U.S. State and Local 2.9 (0.1 ) (0.4 ) Foreign 0.8 (0.8 ) (2.4 ) Deferred income tax expense (benefit) 10.5 12.4 (5.9 ) Total $ 29.1 $ 46.5 $ 35.2 The following table outlines the reconciliation of differences between the U.S. Federal statutory tax rate and the Company’s worldwide effective income tax rate: 2018 2017 2016 Federal statutory tax rate 21.0 % 35.0 % 35.0 % State and local income taxes, net of U.S. federal income tax benefit 6.5 5.7 5.9 Global intangible low-taxed income provision 2.0 — — Non-deductible expenses 1.9 3.6 — Foreign tax rate differential 1.1 (1.3 ) (0.7 ) Changes in valuation allowances 0.5 0.5 (1.9 ) Adjustment of uncertain tax positions and interest 0.2 (0.4 ) 0.6 Federal and state transition tax on foreign earnings 0.1 25.3 — Domestic manufacturing deduction — (0.7 ) (1.3 ) Tax exempt income and expense (2.9 ) — — Tax Act revaluation of U.S. net deferred tax assets (2.2 ) 14.8 — Credits and incentives (1.3 ) — — Other 1.4 0.2 (0.3 ) Effective income tax rate 28.3 % 82.7 % 37.3 % The 2018 effective income tax rate is lower as compared to the 2017 effective income tax rate mainly due to impacts of the changes to U.S. tax legislation as a result of the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (H.R. 1) (“the Tax Act”) on December 22, 2017. The 2018 effective income tax rate was impacted by the global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") provision, non-deductible expenses and also reflects the tax impact of the sale of the Language Solutions business. Along with the effects of the Tax Act, the 2017 effective income tax rate was impacted by non-deductible expenses incurred by the Company in 2017 which were previously incurred by RRD on behalf of the Company during pre-Separation periods. The 2017 effective income tax rate is higher as compared to the 2016 effective income tax rate mainly due to the impact of the Tax Act. The 2017 effective income tax rate was also impacted by non-deductible expenses incurred by the Company in 2017 which were previously incurred by RRD on behalf of the Company during pre-Separation periods, as well as a one-time favorable change in valuation allowances in 2016 not present in 2017. On December 22, 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), which provided guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act. SAB 118 provided a measurement period of one year from the Tax Act enactment date for companies to complete their accounting. In accordance with SAB 118, a company must reflect the income tax effects of those aspects of the Act for which the accounting is complete. To the extent that a company’s accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act is incomplete but it is able to determine a reasonable estimate, it must record a provisional estimate in the financial statements. If a company cannot determine a provisional estimate to be included in the financial statements, it should continue to apply its accounting on the basis of the provisions of the tax laws that were in effect immediately before the enactment of the Tax Act. Due to the timing of the enactment and the complexity involved in applying the provisions of the Tax Act, the Company made reasonable estimates of the tax effects and recorded provisional amounts in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. As a result of the reduction in the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, the Company revalued its U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2017. The Company recorded a reduction in the value of its net U.S. deferred tax asset of approximately $8.2 million, which was recorded as additional deferred income tax expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017. Due to the transition to a territorial tax system under the Tax Act, the Company will be deemed to repatriate its foreign subsidiaries’ untaxed accumulated earnings and pay a mandatory U.S. federal tax (“the transition tax”) of 15.5% on the portion of the earnings that are in cash and cash equivalents and 8.0% on the portion of earnings that are in non-cash and non-cash equivalent assets. The Company estimated this tax liability (federal and state) to be approximately $14.2 million which was recorded as income tax expense in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017. In accordance with SAB 118, the impact of the revaluation of deferred tax assets ($8.2 million) and the transition tax ($14.2 million) were recorded in the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 as provisional amounts as the Company was able to reasonably estimate the impact of these items. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded a $0.1 million increase to the deemed repatriation tax liability and a $2.2 million benefit related to the revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities. The adjustments were the result of the Company’s completion of the analysis of the impact of the Tax Act including changes in interpretations and assumptions that the Company previously made for the prior year provisional estimates as well as the impact from additional regulatory guidance issued. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company also updated its indefinite reinvestment assertion in accordance with SAB 118. There was no financial impact related to the Company’s indefinite reinvestment assertion update. As of December 31, 2018, the Company’s analysis for the income tax effect of the Tax Act was completed. As available under the Tax Act, the Company made an election to pay the transition tax liability in installments over eight years. However, since the Company was in a tax overpayment position on its 2017 tax return, the Department of the U.S. Treasury Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) satisfied the full transition tax liability by reducing the overpayment carried forward into the 2018 tax return. Consequently, there is no transition tax payable recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018. The Company recorded $13.1 million of this liability as noncurrent taxes payable and $1.1 million as current taxes payable in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017. Along with the change to a territorial tax system, the Tax Act created the GILTI provision. The GILTI provision imposes a tax on foreign income in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign subsidiary corporations. The Company is subject to the GILTI tax for the year ended December 31, 2018. The determination of whether the Company is subject to the GILTI provision will be an annual analysis of several factors under the provision, including the amount of foreign income generated by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries and whether the Company has income subject to the GILTI tax, which may change from year to year. In January 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) released guidance on the accounting for GILTI tax, which allows an accounting policy election for companies to either account for deferred taxes related to GILTI inclusions or to treat any taxes on GILTI inclusions as period costs. The Company has adopted the accounting policy to treat taxes on GILTI inclusions as period costs. Deferred income taxes The significant deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2018 and 2017 were as follows: 2018 2017 Deferred tax assets: Pension and other postretirement benefit plans liabilities $ 15.1 $ 15.9 Net operating losses and other tax carryforwards 9.1 10.1 Accrued liabilities 12.2 11.9 Share-based compensation 3.0 2.9 Allowance for doubtful accounts 2.2 2.5 Interest 1.4 — Other 0.9 1.2 Total deferred tax assets 43.9 44.5 Valuation allowances (2.1 ) (1.5 ) Total deferred tax assets $ 41.8 $ 43.0 Deferred tax liabilities: Accelerated depreciation $ (12.3 ) $ (6.8 ) Other intangible assets (12.6 ) (12.8 ) Investments (3.1 ) — Prepaid assets (1.4 ) — Lease obligations (1.3 ) — Other (1.6 ) (1.6 ) Total deferred tax liabilities (32.3 ) (21.2 ) Net deferred tax assets $ 9.5 $ 21.8 The amounts above are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as either a net asset or liability on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis. Transactions affecting the valuation allowances on deferred tax assets during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 were as follows: 2018 2017 2016 Balance, beginning of year $ 1.5 $ 1.2 $ 4.9 Current year expense (benefit)-net 0.7 0.3 (1.5 ) Write-offs — — (2.3 ) Foreign exchange and other (0.1 ) — 0.1 Balance, end of year $ 2.1 $ 1.5 $ 1.2 As of December 31, 2018, the Company had domestic and foreign net operating loss deferred tax assets of approximately $9.1 million ($10.1 million at December 31, 2017), of which $1.8 million expires between 2019 and 2027. Limitations on the utilization of these deferred tax assets may apply. The Company has provided valuation allowances to reduce the carrying value of certain deferred tax assets, as management has concluded that, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be fully realized. Earnings generated by a foreign subsidiary are presumed to ultimately be transferred to the parent company. Therefore, the establishment of deferred taxes may be required with respect to the excess of the investment value for financial reporting over the tax basis of investments in those foreign subsidiaries (also referred to as book-over-tax outside basis differences). A company may overcome this presumption and forgo recording a deferred tax liability in its financial statements if it can assert that management has the intent and ability to indefinitely reinvest the earnings of its foreign subsidiaries. Prior to the year ended December 31, 201 7 , the Company has not provided deferred U.S., foreign or local income taxes on the book-over-tax outside basis differences of its foreign subsidiaries because such excess has been considered to be indefinitely reinvested in the local country businesses. As a result of the transition tax incurred pursuant to the Tax Act, the Company now has the ability to repatriate any previously taxed foreign cash associated with the foreign earnings subject ed to U.S. tax to the U.S. parent with minimal additional tax consequences. The Company intends to repatriate earnings up to its net earnings previously subject to U.S. tax. Thus, the Company updated its assertion in 2018 related to indefinite reinvestment on all foreign earnings and other outside basis differences to indicate that the Company remains indefinitely reinvested in operations outside of the U.S. with the exception of the previously taxed foreign cash already subject to U.S. tax . The Company continues to analyz e its global working capital and cash requirements to determine the amount of excess cash at its foreign subsidiaries that can be repatriated to the U.S. with minimal additional taxes. T he Company has not yet completed its gl obal capital structure analysis. As such, the Company has not recorded deferred taxes attributable to the book-over-tax outside basis differences in its foreign subsidiaries as of December 31, 2018. The Company will record the tax effects related to repatriating any previously taxed foreign cash in the period when the Company begins repatriating this previously taxed foreign cash. Cash payments for income taxes for U.S. states and foreign jurisdictions were $10.1 million, $30.5 million and $5.2 million in 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. In certain jurisdictions, such as the United States and Canada, the Company is deemed to settle tax balances as of October 1, 2016 with RRD within net parent investment. Uncertain tax positions Changes in the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 were as follows: 2018 2017 2016 Balance at beginning of year $ 0.3 $ 1.9 $ 1.0 Additions for tax positions of the current year 0.2 — — Additions for tax positions of prior years 0.1 — 0.9 Settlements during the year (0.1 ) (1.4 ) — Releases (0.2 ) (0.2 ) — Balance at end of year $ 0.3 $ 0.3 $ 1.9 As of December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, the Company had $0.3 million, $0.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits. Unrecognized tax benefits of $0.3 million as of December 31, 2018, if recognized, would have decreased income taxes and the corresponding effective income tax rate and increased net earnings. This potential impact on net earnings reflects the reduction of these unrecognized tax benefits, net of certain deferred tax assets and the federal tax benefit of state income tax items. As of December 31, 2018, no portion of the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits is expected to decrease within twelve months due to the resolution of audits or expirations of statutes of limitations related to U.S. federal, state or international tax positions. The Company classifies interest expense and any penalties related to income tax uncertainties as a component of income tax expense. The total interest expense/(benefit), net of tax benefits, related to tax uncertainties recognized in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations was de minimis for the year ended December 31, 2018 and was ($0.2) million and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. There were no benefits from the reversal of accrued penalties for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016. There were no accrued interest liabilities or accrued penalties related to income tax uncertainties at December 31, 2018 and 2017. The Company has tax years from 2009 that remain open and subject to examination by certain U.S. state taxing authorities and/or certain foreign tax jurisdictions. During 2017, the Company filed its initial U.S. federal income tax return as a separate company for the stub period October 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016. There are no U.S. federal income tax years prior to the stub period ending December 31, 2016 subject to IRS examination. All U.S. federal income tax years including and subsequent to the stub period ending December 31, 2016 remain open and subject to IRS examination.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt	Note 15. Debt On September 30, 2016, in connection with the Separation, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, the lenders party thereto from time to time and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The Credit Agreement provides for (i) a new senior secured term loan B facility in an aggregate principal amount of $350.0 million (the “Term Loan Credit Facility”) and (ii) a new first lien senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million (the “Revolving Facility”, and, together with the Term Loan Credit Facility, the “Credit Facilities”). The Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants, including a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio and a maximum Net Leverage Ratio, as defined in and calculated pursuant to the Credit Agreement, that, in part, restrict the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, engage in mergers and consolidations, make restricted payments and dispose of certain assets. Borrowings under the Term Loan Credit Facility were used to provide $340.2 million of cash to RRD, pursuant to the Separation Agreement, as of September 30, 2016. The remainder of the net proceeds was used for general corporate purposes. Pursuant to t he Separation and Distribution A greement, the Company received a cash payment of $68.0 million from RRD on April 3, 2017. The proceeds were used to reduce outstanding debt under the Term Loan Credit Facility. On June 21, 2017, RRD completed the sale of approximately 6.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock in an underwritten public offering. Upon the consummation of the offering, RRD retained approximately 0.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock of the offering which were subsequently sold by RRD on August 4, 2017. In conjunction with the underwritten public offering, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase approximately 0.9 million Option Shares. The Company received approximately $18.8 million in net proceeds from the sale of the Option Shares, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions. The proceeds were used to reduce outstanding debt under the Revolving Facility. On October 2, 2017, the Company repriced the Term Loan Credit Facility. As a result, the interest rate was reduced by 100 basis points to LIBOR plus 3.0% and the LIBOR floor was reduced by 25 basis points to 0.75%. Additionally, under the first amended Credit Agreement, principal payments are due on a quarterly basis. Other terms, including the outstanding principal, maturity date, and debt covenants such as the minimum Interest Coverage Ratio and the maximum Leverage Ratio are consistent with the original Credit Agreement. On December 18, 2018, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Credit Agreement which extended the maturity date of the Revolving Facility to December 18, 2023, reduced the interest rate margin percentages and facility fees applicable to the Revolving Facility, increased the allowable annual dividends from $15.0 million to $20.0 million in the aggregate and modified the financial maintenance and negative covenants in the Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2018, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility. On September 30, 2016, also in connection with the Separation, the Company issued $300.0 million of 8.25% senior unsecured notes due October 15, 2024 (the “Notes”). Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15, commencing on April 15, 2017. The issuance of the Notes was part of a debt exchange that resulted in the settlement of certain of RRD's bonds. In connection with the offering of the Notes, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement, dated as of September 30, 2016 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC with respect to an offer to exchange the Notes for registered notes. In certain circumstances, the Company may be required to file a shelf registration statement with the SEC registering the resale of the Notes by the holders thereof, in lieu of an exchange offer to such holders. On March 10, 2017, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (as amended, the “Exchange Offer Registration Statement”) to offer to exchange the Notes for registered notes which have terms identical in all material respects to the Notes except that the registered notes are not subject to transfer restrictions or registration rights. The Exchange Offer Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on March 22, 2017. An exchange offer for the Notes was launched on March 22, 2017 and settled on April 25, 2017, resulting in the exchange of $299.9 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes for registered notes. The Company’s debt as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 consisted of the following: December 31, December 31, 2018 2017 8.25% senior notes due October 15, 2024 $ 300.0 $ 300.0 Term Loan Credit Facility 71.3 168.6 Borrowings under the Revolving Facility — — Unamortized debt issuance costs (8.6 ) (10.3 ) Total debt 362.7 458.3 Less: current portion — — Long-term debt $ 362.7 $ 458.3 The fair value of the senior notes, which was determined using the market approach based upon interest rates available to the Company for borrowings with similar terms and maturities, were determined to be Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Company’s senior notes was $298.1 million and $321.5 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings under the Revolving Facility was 5.0% and 4.4% at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had $3.1 million in outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees, of which none reduced the availability under the Revolving Facility At December 31, 2018, the future maturities of debt were as follows: Amount 2019 $ — 2020 — 2021 — 2022 — 2023 72.5 2024 and thereafter 300.0 Total (a) $ 372.5 (a) Excludes unamortized debt issuance costs of $8.6 million and a discount of $1.2 million which do not represent contractual commitments with a fixed amount or maturity date. The following table summarizes interest expense included in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations: 2018 2017 2016 Interest incurred $ 37.1 $ 43.5 $ 12.2 Less: interest capitalized as property, plant and equipment (0.4 ) (0.6 ) (0.5 ) Interest expense, net $ 36.7 $ 42.9 $ 11.7 Interest paid was $34.6 million, $40.0 million and $4.8 million in 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings per Share	Note 16. Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. In computing diluted earnings per share, basic earnings per share is adjusted for the assumed issuance of all potentially dilutive share-based awards, including restricted stock units and restricted stock. On October 1, 2016, RRD distributed approximately 26.2 million shares of DFIN common stock to RRD shareholders in connection with the spin-off of DFIN, with RRD retaining approximately 6.2 million shares of DFIN common stock. Holders of RRD common stock received one share of DFIN for every eight shares of RRD common stock held on September 23, 2016. Basic and diluted earnings per common share and the average number of common shares outstanding were retrospectively restated for the number of DFIN shares outstanding immediately following this transaction. For periods prior to the Separation, basic and diluted earnings per share were calculated using the number of shares distributed and retained by RRD, totaling 32.4 million. The same number of shares was used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share since there were no DFIN equity awards outstanding prior to the spin-off. On June 21, 2017, RRD completed the sale of approximately 6.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock in an underwritten public offering. Upon consumption of the offering, RRD retained approximately 0.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock which were subsequently sold by RRD on August 4, 2017. Refer to Note 1, Overview and Basis of Presentation The reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted earnings per share calculation and the anti-dilutive share-based awards for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, were as follows. 2018 2017 2016 Net earnings per share: Basic $ 2.18 $ 0.29 $ 1.81 Diluted $ 2.16 $ 0.29 $ 1.80 Numerator: Net earnings $ 73.6 $ 9.7 $ 59.1 Denominator: Weighted average number of common shares outstanding 33.8 33.1 32.6 Dilutive awards 0.2 0.2 0.2 Diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding 34.0 33.3 32.8 Weighted average number of anti-dilutive share-based awards: Restricted stock units 0.3 0.2 0.2 Stock options 0.6 0.3 0.2 Total 0.9 0.5 0.4

Share Based Compensation [Abstract]
Share-Based Compensation	Note 17. Share-Based Compensation DFIN’s Stock and Incentive Programs for Employees and Directors The Company’s share-based compensation plan under which it may grant future awards, the 2016 Donnelley Financial Solutions, Inc. Performance Incentive Plan (“2016 PIP”), was approved by the Board of Directors to provide incentives to key employees of the Company. Awards under the 2016 PIP may include, cash or stock bonuses, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock or restricted stock units (“RSUs”). In addition, non-employee members of the Board of Directors may receive awards under the 2016 PIP. There were 3.5 million shares of common stock reserved and authorized for issuance under the 2016 PIP. At December 31, 2018, there were 1.0 million shares of common stock authorized and available for grant under the 2016 PIP. Impact of the Separation from RRD Prior to the Separation, RRD maintained an incentive stock program for the benefit of its officers, directors and certain employees, including certain DFIN employees. RRD’s share-based compensation programs in which DFIN employees participated included RSUs. In connection with the Separation, as of October 1, 2016, employee stock options and RSUs were adjusted and converted into new equity awards of DFIN, RRD and/or LSC using a 10-day volume weighted average share price of DFIN, RRD and LSC, as described in the Separation and Distribution Agreement. Converted awards retained the same vesting schedule and expiration date of the original awards. All equity awards converted upon Separation were authorized for issuance under the 2016 PIP. In periods following the Separation, the Company records share-based compensation expense for its employees’ equity awards that were converted into DFIN, RRD and/or LSC equity awards. RRD granted RSU awards which cliff vest three years from the grant date. RSU awards are subject to forfeiture upon termination of employment prior to vesting, subject in some cases to early vesting upon specified events, including death or permanent disability of the grantee, termination of the grantee’s employment under certain circumstances or a change in control. The Company records compensation expense of RSU awards based on the fair market value of the awards at the date of grant ratably over the period during which the restrictions lapse. Dividends are not paid on RSUs. Share-based compensation expense For all share-based awards granted to employees and directors following the Separation, including stock options, RSUs, performance based restricted stock and performance share units (“PSUs”), the Company recognizes compensation expense based on estimated grant date fair values based on certain assumptions as of the grant date. The Company estimates 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. The Company recognizes compensation costs for RSUs expected to vest, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term of three years . Compensation expense for performance based restricted stock awards granted in 2016, which vest on a graded basis, is recognized utilizing a graded vesting schedule. Compensation expense for performance based restricted stock awards granted in 2017, which cliff vest, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the performance period of the award. The Company recognizes compensation costs for PSUs, which cliff vest, on a straight-line basis over the performance period of the award. Compensation expense for stock options is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term of four years . The stock options, RSUs, performance based restricted stock and PSUs granted during 2017 and 2018 are subject to forfeiture upon termination of employment prior to vesting, subject in some cases to early vesting upon specified events, including death or permanent disability of the grantee or a change in control of the Company. In addition, upon a change in control of the Company, performance based restricted stock and PSUs will be measured at 100% attainment of the target performance metrics and will remain subject to time based vesting until the end of the vesting period; provided that the award will vest in full if, within three months prior to or two years after the date of the change in control of the Company, the grantee’s employment is terminated without cause by the Company or for good reason by the grantee. In periods prior to the Separation, share-based compensation expense includes expense attributable to the Company based on the award terms previously granted to the Company’s employees and an allocation of compensation expense for RRD’s corporate and shared functional employees. As those share-based compensation plans are RRD’s plans, the amounts have been recognized through net parent company investment on the combined balance sheets. Total compensation expense related to all share-based compensation plans was $9.2 million, $6.8 million and $2.5 million for years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The income tax benefit related to share-based compensation expense was $2.5 million, $3.0 million and $1.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. As of December 31, 2018, $13.1 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to share-based compensation plans is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years. During the first quarter of 2017, the Company adopted ASU 2016-09, which identifies areas of simplification for several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 represents a change in accounting principle. The Company has adopted all applicable aspects of this guidance on a prospective basis. Stock Options The Company granted 324,500 options, with a weighted-average grant date fair market value of $5.83, during the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company granted 177,600 options, with a weighted-average grant date fair market value of $7.77, during the year ended December 31, 2017. There were no options granted during the year ended December 31, 2016. The fair market value of each stock option award was estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model and the Company used the following methods to determine its underlying assumptions: • Expected volatility was estimated based on a weighted-average of historical volatilities for the Company’s peer group • The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S Treasury yield curve in effect on the date of grant • The expected term of options granted was based on the simplified method of using the mid-point between the vesting term and the original contractual term • The expected dividend yield was based on the Company’s current dividend rate The weighted-average assumptions used to determine the weighted-average fair market value of the stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were as follows: 2018 2017 Expected volatility 27.75 % 30.71 % Risk-free interest rate 2.71 % 2.17 % Expected life (years) 6.25 6.25 Expected dividend yield 0.00 % 0.00 % Stock outstanding Weighted Average Weighted Remaining Aggregate Shares Under Average Contractual Intrinsic Option Exercise Term Value (thousands) Price (years) (millions) Outstanding at December 31, 2017 459 $ 22.13 5.1 $ 0.8 Granted 324 17.91 9.2 Exercised (104 ) 11.95 Cancelled/forfeited/expired (44 ) 24.92 Outstanding at December 31, 2018 635 21.44 7.2 — Vested and expected to vest at December 31, 2018 607 21.54 7.1 — Exercisable at December 31, 2018 — N/A N/A N/A The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their in-the-money options on December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. This amount will change in future periods based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock and the number of options outstanding. Total intrinsic value of options exercised was $1.0 million and $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. There were no excess tax benefits on stock option exercises for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. Compensation . $2.1 million of total Restricted Stock Units Nonvested Weighted Shares Average Grant (Thousands) Date Fair Value Nonvested at December 31, 2017 598 $ 23.48 Granted 456 17.53 Vested (278 ) Forfeited (76 ) Nonvested at December 31, 2018 700 $ 19.60 Compensation expense related to RSUs was $5.2 million, $4.1 million and $1.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. As of December 31, 2018, there was $6.8 million of unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to 0.7 million restricted stock unit awards, with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $19.60, that are expected to vest over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years. The fair value of these awards was determined based on the Company’s stock price on the grant date, as the Company currently does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Restricted Stock There were no restricted stock awards granted during the year ended December 31, 2018. Compensation expense for the restricted stock awards is currently being recognized based on 100% attainment of the targeted performance metrics for the restricted stock awards granted in 2017 and is being recognized based on 100% actual achievement of the performance metrics for the restricted stock awards granted in 2016. The total potential payout for awards granted during 2017 range from zero to 129,400 shares, should certain performance targets be achieved. The maximum payout of shares was achieved as of December 31, 2017 for the restricted stock awards granted during 2016 , of which 50 % vested during the fourth quarter of 2018 . Compensation expense for restricted stock awards was $ 2.0 million, $ 2.2 million , and $ 0.3 million for th e years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. As of December 31, 2018, there was $ 1.2 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1. 0 year . Performance Share Units Nonvested Weighted Shares Average Grant (Thousands) Date Fair Value Nonvested at December 31, 2017 37 $ 22.41 Granted 232 17.65 Forfeited (18 ) Nonvested at December 31, 2018 251 $ 18.23 During the year ended December 31, 2018, 232,300 performance share units were granted to certain executive officers and senior management, payable upon the achievement of certain established performance targets. The performance period for the shares awarded is January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2020. Distributions under these awards are payable at the end of the performance period in common stock. The total potential payout for awards granted during the year ended December 31, 2018 range from zero to 348,450 shares, should certain performance targets be achieved. The fair value of these awards was determined based on the Company’s stock price on the grant date. Compensation expense for the PSUs granted in 2018 and 2017 is currently being recognized based on 100% attainment of the targeted performance metrics or 232,300 and 37,100 shares, for each respective period.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Parties	Note 22. Related Parties On March 28, 2017, RRD completed the sale of 6.2 million shares of LSC common stock (RRD’s remaining ownership stake in LSC) in an underwritten public offering. As a result, beginning in the quarter ended June 30, 2017, LSC no longer qualified as a related party of the Company and the amounts disclosed related to LSC are presented through March 31, 2017 only. On June 21, 2017, RRD completed the sale of approximately 6.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock. RRD retained approximately 0.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock which RRD sold on August 4, 2017. Beginning in the quarter ended September 30, 2017, RRD no longer qualified as a related party and the amounts disclosed related to RRD are presented through June 30, 2017 only. Transition Services Agreements In connection with the Separation, the Company entered into transition services agreements separately with RRD and LSC, under which, in exchange for the fees specified in the arrangements, RRD and LSC agree to provide certain services to the Company and the Company agrees to provide certain services to RRD, respectively. These services have included, but are not limited to, information technology, accounts receivable, accounts payable, payroll and other financial and administrative services and functions. Most of the services provided under the transition services agreements terminated at September 30, 2018 or earlier. Under certain transition services agreements, RRD agreed to provide information technology services to the Company for up to 36 months following the Separation. These agreements facilitated the separation by allowing the Company to operate independently prior to establishing stand-alone back office systems across its organization. Commercial Arrangements The Company entered into a number of commercial and other arrangements with RRD and its subsidiaries. These include, among other things, arrangements for the provision of services, including global outsourcing and logistics services, printing and binding, digital printing, composition and access to technology. The terms of the arrangements with RRD do not exceed 36 months. Subsequent to the Separation, RRD and LSC are clients of the Company and expect to utilize SaaS solutions and services that the Company provides to all of its clients. Stockholder and Registration Rights Agreement The Company and RRD entered into a Stockholder and Registration Rights Agreement with respect to the Company’s common stock retained by RRD pursuant to which the Company agrees that, upon the request of RRD, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration under applicable federal and state securities laws of the shares of the Company’s common stock retained by RRD after the Separation. In addition, RRD granted the Company a proxy to vote the shares of the Company’s common stock that RRD retained immediately after the Separation in proportion to the votes cast by the Company’s other stockholders. This proxy, however, will be automatically revoked as to a particular share upon any sale or transfer of such share from RRD to a person other than RRD, and neither the voting agreement nor the proxy will limit or prohibit any such sale or transfer. On March 24, 2017, pursuant to the Stockholder and Registration Rights Agreement, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 to register the offering and sale of the Company’s common stock retained by RRD. The Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended, was declared effective by the SEC on June 13, 2017. On June 21, 2017, RRD completed the sale of approximately 6.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock in an underwritten public offering. Upon consummation of the offering, RRD retained approximately 0.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock which were subsequently sold by RRD on August 4, 2017. Sublease Agreement In connection with the Separation, the Company assumed an operating lease through 2024 for the Company’s headquarters. There is a related non-cancelable sublease rental to RRD for the same period. The Company remains secondarily liable under this lease in the event that the sub-lessee defaults under the sublease terms. The Company does not believe that material payments will be required as a result of the secondary liability provisions of the primary lease agreement. Allocations from RRD Prior to the Separation RRD provided DFIN with certain services, which include, but are not limited to information technology, finance, legal, human resources, internal audit, treasury, tax, investor relations and executive oversight. The financial information in these consolidated and combined financial statements does not necessarily include all the expenses that would have been incurred had DFIN been a separate, standalone entity for all periods presented. Prior to the Separation, RRD charged DFIN for these services based on direct usage when possible. When specific identification was not practicable, the pro rata basis of revenue or employee headcount, or some other measure was used. These allocations were reflected as follows in the consolidated and combined financial statements: 2016 Costs of goods sold allocation $ 28.0 Selling, general and administrative allocation 129.4 Depreciation and amortization 15.2 Total allocations from RRD $ 172.6 The Company considers the expense methodology and results to be reasonable for all periods presented. However, these allocations may not be indicative of the actual expenses that the Company would have incurred as an independent public company or the costs it may incur in the future. Related Party Revenues DFIN generates a portion of net revenue from sales to RRD’s subsidiaries. Net revenues from sales to RRD and affiliates of $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and $19.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, were included in the consolidated and combined statement of operations. Related Party Purchases DFIN utilizes RRD for freight and logistics and services as well as certain production of printed products. Cost of sales of $32.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and $57.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 were included in the consolidated and combined statement of operations for these purchases. DFIN also utilizes RRD’s business process outsourcing business for certain composition, XBRL and other functions. Cost of sales of $19.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and $37.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 were included in the consolidated and combined statement of operations for these purchases. Share-Based Compensation Prior to Separation Prior to the Separation, certain DFIN employees participated in RRD’s share-based compensation plans, the costs of which have been allocated to DFIN and recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated and combined statement of operations. Share-based compensation costs allocated to the Company were Retirement Plans Prior to Separation Prior to the Separation, DFIN employees participated in pension and other postretirement plans sponsored by RRD. These costs are reflected in the Company’s cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated and combined statements of operations. On October 1, 2016, DFIN recorded net pension plan liabilities of $68.3 million (consisting of a total benefit plan liability of $317.0 million, net of plan assets having fair market value of $248.7 million), as a result of the transfer of certain pension plan liabilities and assets from RRD to the Company upon the legal split of those plans. The pension plan asset allocation from RRD was finalized on June 30, 2017, which resulted in a $0.7 million decrease to the fair value of plan assets transferred to the Company from RRD. Refer to Note 13 , Retirement Plans Centralized Cash Management Prior to Separation RRD used a centralized approach to cash management and financing of operations. Prior to the Separation, the majority of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries were party to RRD’s international cash pooling arrangements to maximize the availability of cash for general operating and investing purposes. As part of RRD’s centralized cash management process, cash balances were swept regularly from the Company’s accounts. Debt RRD’s third party debt and related interest expense have not been allocated to the Company for any of the periods presented as the Company was not the legal obligor of the debt and the borrowings were not directly related to the Company’s business.

Accounting Changes And Error Corrections [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements	Note 23. New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, which provides entities the option to reclassify tax effects stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a result of the Tax Act to retained earnings. ASU 2018-02 may be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the Tax Act is recognized. The Company early adopted ASU 2018-02 in the fourth quarter of 2018 and applied it to the period of adoption. The impact of the adoption resulted in an increase in accumulated comprehensive loss and an increase in retained earnings of $10.9 million. Refer to Note 19, Comprehensive Income In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue using a five-step process that supersedes virtually all existing revenue guidance. ASU 2014-09 also requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures. In August 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-14 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date” (“ASU 2015-14”), which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 to January 1, 2018. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. The Company recognized the cumulative effect of applying the standard as an opening transition adjustment to retained earnings. The comparative periods have not been restated and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. Refer to Note 3, Revenue In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, which the Company adopted retrospectively in the first quarter of 2018. Refer to Note 13, Retirement Plans Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires lessees to put most leases on the balance sheet but recognize expense on the income statement in a manner similar to current accounting. For lessors, ASU 2016-02 also modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. The standard requires a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements and is effective in the first quarter of 2019. In July 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-11 (“ASU 2018-11”), which provides an optional transition method to apply ASU 2016-02 in the period of adoption and recognize a cumulative-effect opening transition adjustment to retained earnings, without applying the standard to comparative periods. ASU 2018-11 also provides lessors with a practical expedient to account for lease and associated non-lease components as a single component when certain criteria are met. Early adoption of ASU 2016-02 is permitted; however, the Company will adopt the standard in the first quarter of 2019 and plans to apply the optional transition method upon adoption. The Company is in the process of reviewing its existing lease portfolio, which is primarily comprised of real estate leases, to evaluate the impact of ASU 2016-02 on the consolidated financial statements. The Company currently expects to recognize a lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset for substantially all operating lease agreements, which will have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company currently plans to elect the optional package of practical expedients to not reassess prior conclusions related to contracts containing leases, lease classification and initial direct costs and therefore, does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-02 to have a significant impact on the consolidated statement of operations for existing operating leases. The ultimate impact of the standard will depend on the Company’s lease portfolio at the date of adoption. Additionally, the Company is evaluating the processes and internal controls needed to support the changes resulting from the new lease accounting standard. Information about the Company’s undiscounted future lease payments and the timing of those payments is disclosed in Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies

Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2018
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates —The preparation of consolidated and combined financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires the extensive use of management’s estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for items and matters including, but not limited to, allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, inventory obsolescence, asset valuations and useful lives, employee benefits, taxes, restructuring and other provisions and contingencies.
Foreign Operations	Foreign Operations —Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates 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 other comprehensive income (loss) while transaction gains and losses are recorded in net earnings. Deferred taxes are not provided on cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments when the Company expects foreign earnings to be indefinitely reinvested.
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements— Certain assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. 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. The Company records the fair value of its pension plan assets on a recurring basis. See Note 13, , for the fair value of the Company’s pension plan assets as of December 31, 2018. The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-01 “Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“ASU 2016-01”) on January 1, 2018, which requires that investments in equity securities, except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation, to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The Company measures its equity investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value, at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. 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. Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include long-lived assets held and used, long-lived assets held for sale, goodwill and other intangible assets. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term debt and accounts payable approximate their carrying values. The three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes valuation methodologies based on the reliability of the inputs, is: Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets. Level 2 — Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 — Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition — The Company manages highly-customized data and materials, such as Exchange Act, Securities Act and Investment Company Act filings with the SEC on behalf of its customers and performs XBRL and related services. The Company’s SaaS offerings include the Venue Virtual Data Room, the FundSuiteArc software platform, ActiveDisclosure and data and analytics, among others. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised services or products to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those services or products. The Company’s arrangements with customers often include promises to transfer multiple services or products to a customer. Determining whether services and products are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately requires significant judgment. Certain customer arrangements have multiple performance obligations as certain promises are both capable of being distinct and are distinct within the context of the contract. Other customer arrangements have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts, and therefore are not distinct. Because substantially all of the Company’s products are customized, product returns are not significant; however, the Company accrues for the estimated amount of customer credits at the time of sale. The Company records deferred revenue in situations when amounts are invoiced but the revenue recognition criteria outlined above are not met. Such revenue is recognized when all criteria are subsequently met. Certain revenues earned by the Company require significant judgment to determine if revenue should be recorded gross, as a principal, or net of related costs, as an agent. Billings for shipping and handling costs as well as certain postage costs, and out-of-pocket expenses are recorded gross. Revenue is not recognized for customer-supplied postage. The Company’s printing operations process paper that may be supplied directly by customers or may be purchased by the Company from third parties and sold to customers. Revenue is not recognized for customer-supplied paper, however revenues for Company-supplied paper are recognized on a gross basis. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to authorities. Refer to Note 3, Revenue , for a discussion of the impact of the 2018 Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”) . Revenue Recognition The Company manages highly-customized data and materials, such as Exchange Act, Securities Act and Investment Company Act filings with the SEC on behalf of its customers, manages virtual data rooms and performs XBRL and related services. Clients are provided with EDGAR filing services, XBRL compliance services and translation, editing, interpreting, proof-reading and multilingual typesetting services, among others. The Company’s SaaS offerings include the Venue Virtual Data Room, the FundSuiteArc software platform, ActiveDisclosure and data and analytics, among others. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is derived from contracts with an initial expected duration of one year or less. Generally, customer payment is due within ten days upon invoicing. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised services or products to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those services or products. The Company’s arrangements with customers often include promises to transfer multiple services or products to a customer. Determining whether services and products are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately requires significant judgment. Certain customer arrangements have multiple performance obligations as certain promises are both capable of being distinct and are distinct within the context of the contract. Other customer arrangements have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts, and therefore are not distinct. Revenue for the Company’s services and products is recognized either over time or at a point in time, as outlined below. Over time The Company recognizes revenue for certain services over time. • The Company’s SaaS solutions, including the Venue Virtual Data Room, the FundSuiteArc software platform, ActiveDisclosure, data and analytics and others, are generally provided on a subscription basis and allow customers access to use the products over the contract period. As a result, revenue for SaaS solutions are recognized ratably over time as the customer receives the benefit throughout the contract period. The timing of invoicing varies, however the customer may be invoiced before the end of the contract period, resulting in a deferred revenue balance. • Revenue for warehousing services are recognized ratably over time as the customer receives the benefit throughout the storage period. Point in time All remaining revenue arrangements are generally recognized at a point in time and are primarily invoiced upon completion of all services or upon shipment to the customer. • Certain of these arrangements include multiple performance obligations and revenue is recognized upon completion of each performance obligation, such as when a document is filed with a regulatory agency and upon completion of printing the related document. For arrangements with multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations. The Company provides customer specific solutions and as such, observable standalone selling price is rarely available. Standalone selling price is more frequently determined using an estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct service or product, taking into consideration historical selling price by customer for each distinct service or product. These estimates may vary from the final amounts invoiced to the customer and are adjusted upon completion of all performance obligations. Customers may be invoiced subsequent to the recognition of revenue for completed performance obligations , resulting in contract asset balances. • Revenue for arrangements which include assisting customers in completing regulatory filings for transactions, such as mergers and acquisitions or other public capital market transactions, is recognized upon completion of all promises, including the services performed and printing of the related document, if applicable. • Revenue for arrangements without a regulatory filing generally have a single performance obligation, as the services and products provided are not distinct within the context of the contract, and are recognized upon completion of the services performed or upon completion of printing of the related product. • Warehousing, fulfillment services and shipping and handling are each separate performance obligations. As a result, when the Company provides warehousing and future fulfillment services, revenue for the composition services performed and printing of the product is recognized upon completion of the performance obligation(s), as control of the inventory has transferred to the customer and the inventory is being stored at the customer’s request. Because substantially all of the Company’s products are customized, product returns are not significant; however, the Company accrues for the estimated amount of customer credits at the time of sale. The Company records deferred revenue when amounts are invoiced but the revenue recognition criteria are not yet met. Such revenue is recognized when all criteria are subsequently met. Certain revenues earned by the Company require significant judgment to determine if revenue should be recorded gross, as a principal, or net of related costs, as an agent. Billings for shipping and handling costs as well as certain postage costs, and out-of-pocket expenses are recorded gross. Revenue is not recognized for customer-supplied postage. The Company’s printing operations process paper that may be supplied directly by customers or may be purchased by the Company from third parties and sold to customers. Revenue is not recognized for customer-supplied paper, however revenues for Company-supplied paper are recognized on a gross basis. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to authorities.
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. Short-term securities consist of investment grade instruments of governments, financial institutions and corporations.
Receivables	Receivables— Receivables are stated net of allowances for doubtful accounts and primarily include trade receivables, notes receivable and miscellaneous receivables from suppliers. No single customer comprised more than 10% of the Company’s net sales in 2018, 2017 or 2016. 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, for details of activity affecting the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable.
Inventories	Inventories —Inventories include material, labor and factory overhead and are stated at the lower of cost or market and net of excess and obsolescence reserves for raw materials. Provisions for excess and obsolete inventories are made at differing rates, utilizing historical data and current economic trends, based upon the age and type of the inventory. Specific excess and obsolescence provisions are also made when a review of specific balances indicates that the inventories will not be utilized in production or sold. Inventory is valued using the First-In, First-Out (FIFO) method.
Long-Lived Assets	Long-Lived Assets —The Company assesses potential impairments to its long-lived assets if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. An impaired asset is written down to its estimated fair value based upon the most recent information available. Estimated fair market value is generally measured by discounting estimated future cash flows. Long-lived assets, other than goodwill, are recorded at the lower of the carrying value or the fair market value less the estimated cost to sell.
Property, Plant and Equipment	Property, plant and equipment —Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Useful lives range from 15 to 40 years for buildings, the lesser of 7 years or the lease term for leasehold improvements and from 3 to 15 years for machinery and equipment. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred. Major overhauls that extend the useful lives of existing assets are capitalized. When properties are retired or disposed, the costs and accumulated depreciation are eliminated and the resulting profit or loss is recognized in the results of operations.
Software	Software — The Company incurs costs to develop software applications for internal-use and for the development of SaaS solutions sold to its clients. These costs include both direct costs from third-party vendors and eligible salaries and payroll-related costs of employees. The Company capitalizes costs associated with internal-use software and SaaS solutions when management with the relevant authority authorizes and commits to the funding of the software project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the functions intended. Costs associated with upgrades and enhancements of internal-use software and SaaS solutions are capitalized only if such modifications result in additional functionality of the software, whereas costs incurred for preliminary project stage activities, training, project management and maintenance is expensed as incurred. Capitalized software development costs are amortized over their estimated useful life using the straight-line method, up to a maximum of three years. Amortization expense related to internally-developed software, excluding amortization expense related to other intangible assets, was $24.3 million, $22.5 million and $20.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Goodwill	Goodwill —Goodwill is either assigned to a specific reporting unit or allocated between reporting units based on the relative fair value of each reporting unit. The Company's goodwill balances were reallocated from RRD’s historical reporting units based on the relative fair values of the businesses. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually 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 amount. For certain reporting units, the Company may perform a qualitative, rather than quantitative, assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. In performing this qualitative analysis, the Company considers various factors, including the excess of prior year estimates of fair value compared to carrying value, the effect of market or industry changes and the reporting units’ actual results compared to projected results. Based on this qualitative analysis, if management determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying value, no further impairment testing is performed. For the remaining reporting units, the Company compares each reporting unit’s fair value, estimated based on comparable company market valuations and expected future discounted cash flows to be generated by the reporting unit, to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, the Company will recognize an impairment loss for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value. The Company also performs an interim review for indicators of impairment at each quarter-end to assess whether an interim impairment review is required for any reporting unit. In the Company’s annual review at October 31, 2018, and its interim review for indicators of impairment as of December 31, 2018, management concluded that there were no indicators that the fair value of any of the reporting units with goodwill was more likely than not below its carrying amount. Other intangible assets are recognized separately from goodwill and are amortized over their estimated useful lives. See Note 6, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,
Share-Based Compensation	Share-Based Compensation — In periods prior to the Separation, RRD maintained an incentive share-based compensation program for the benefit of its officers, directors, and certain employees, including certain DFIN employees. For those periods share-based compensation expense has been allocated to the Company based on the awards and terms previously granted to the Company’s employees as well as an allocation of compensation expense to RRD’s corporate and shared functional employees. Subsequent to the Separation, the Company recognizes share-based compensation expense based on estimated fair values for all share-based awards made to employees and directors, including stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance-based restricted stock and performance share units (“PSUs”). The Company recognizes compensation expense for RSUs and PSUs expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. The Company recognizes compensation expense for performance based restricted stock awards granted in 2016 utilizing a graded vesting schedule. Compensation expense for performance based restricted stock awards granted in 2017, which cliff vest, is recognized on a straight-line basis. Compensation expense for stock options is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. See Note 17, Share-Based Compensation,
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans	Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans — Prior to the Separation, RRD provided pension and other postretirement healthcare benefits to certain current and former employees of DFIN. DFIN’s consolidated and combined statements of operations include expense allocations for these benefits. These allocations were funded through intercompany transactions with RRD which are reflected within net parent company investment in DFIN. On October 1, 2016, DFIN recorded net pension plan liabilities of $68.3 million (consisting of a total benefit plan liability of $317.0 million, net of plan assets having fair market value of $248.7 million), as a result of the transfer of certain pension plan liabilities and assets from RRD to the Company upon the legal split of those plans. The pension plan asset allocation from RRD was finalized on June 30, 2017, which resulted in a $0.7 million decrease to the fair value of plan assets transferred to the Company from RRD. DFIN engages outside actuaries to assist in the determination of the obligations and costs under these plans. The annual income and expense amounts relating to the pension plan are based on calculations which include various actuarial assumptions including, mortality expectations, discount rates and expected long-term rates of return. The Company reviews its actuarial assumptions on an annual basis and makes modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends when it is deemed appropriate to do so. The effects of modifications on the value of plan obligations and assets is recognized immediately within other comprehensive income (loss) and amortized into operating earnings over future periods. 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. Refer to Note 13, Retirement Plans
Taxes on Income	Taxes on Income - In the Company’s combined financial statements prior to Separation, income tax expense and deferred tax balances were calculated on a separate income tax return basis although the Company’s operations have historically been included in the tax returns filed by the respective RRD entities of which the Company’s business was a part. As a standalone entity, the Company will file tax returns on its own behalf and its deferred taxes and effective tax rate may differ from those in historical periods.
