2Q 2018 Highlights:

• Net sales of $943 million compared to $848 million in the second quarter of 2017, an increase of $95 million, or 11.2%

• GAAP net income of $8 million, or $0.23 per diluted share compared to net income of $5 million, or $0.12 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2017

• Non-GAAP net income of $17 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, compared tonon-GAAP net income of $21 million, or $0.59 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2017

• Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $77 million, or 8.2% of net sales, compared to $82 million, or 9.7% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2017

• Company completed the acquisition of RR Donnelley’s Print Logistics business and announced entering into definitive agreement to divest LSC’s European printing business

• Company updates full-year guidance to include impact of the sale of the European printing business and completion of $20 million share repurchase program

“We are pleased with our second quarter results as we continued to experience favorable organic revenue trends and saw an improved sales mix. In addition, we continued our focus on acquisition integration and cost reductions that drove sequential margin improvement,” said Thomas J. Quinlan III, LSC Communications’ Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President. “Our investment in growth areas, including our Print Logistics acquisition, will bring additional value to our customers. Additionally, we recently announced entering into an agreement to sell our European printing business which will allow us to increase strategic focus on our North America operations and customers and provide us with additional financial flexibility.”

Net Sales

Second quarter net sales were $943 million, up $95 million, or 11.2%, from the second quarter of 2017. After adjusting for acquisitions, divestitures, changes in foreign exchange rates, pass-through paper sales, and the adoption of new revenue recognition standards, organic net sales decreased 2.0% from the second quarter of 2017. This organic net sales change represents continued improvement compared to the Company’s 2017 organic net sales trends. This improvement was largely driven by sales performance in our Office Products segment and our Book reporting unit.

GAAP Net Income

Second quarter 2018 net income was $8 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared to net income of $5 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2017. Second quarter 2018 net income includedafter-tax charges of $9 million and second quarter 2017 net income includedafter-tax charges of $16 million, both of which are excluded from the presentation ofnon-GAAP net income. Additional details regarding the amount and nature of these adjustments and other items are included in the attached schedules.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA andNon-GAAP Net Income

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2018 was $77 million, or 8.2% of net sales, compared to $82 million, or 9.7% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2017. The decrease innon-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin was primarily due to sales mix, pricing pressure and the impact of lower margins related to recent acquisitions partially offset byon-going productivity and cost control initiatives.

Non-GAAP net income totaled $17 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2018 compared tonon-GAAP net income of $21 million, or $0.59 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2017. Reconciliations of net income tonon-GAAP adjusted EBITDA andnon-GAAP net income are presented in the attached schedules.

2018 Guidance

The Company’s updated full-year guidance for 2018, in the table below, includes the sale of LSC’s European printing business⁽¹⁾ and the completion of the share repurchase authorization:

	Guidance	Previous Guidance
Net sales	$3.75 to $3.85 billion	$3.8 to $3.9 billion
Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA(2)	$310 to $340 million	$320 to $360 million
Depreciation and amortization	$135 to $145 million	$135 to $145 million
Interest expense	$76 to $78 million	$72 to $76 million
Non-GAAP effective tax rate	27% to 31%	25% to 29%
Capital expenditures	$65 to $75 million	$65 to $75 million
Free cash flow(3)	$110 to $140 million	$120 to $160 million
Diluted share count	Approximately 34 million	Approximately 35 million

⁽¹⁾ The completion of the sale of LSC’s European printing business is subject to customary closing conditions

⁽²⁾ Consistent with historical guidance and presentation,non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA includes net pension income. Beginning in 2018, Accounting Standards UpdateNo. 2017-07 requires companies to disaggregate the service cost component of net benefit cost from other components of net benefit cost and present the service cost component with other employee compensation costs. All other components of net benefit cost will need to be presented outside of income from operations. As a result, the Company expects to reclassify approximately $49 million, $46 million and $45 million of net pension income for years ended 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively, out of income from operations to investment and other(income)-net, resulting in no impact to net income ornon-GAAP adjusted EBITDA.

⁽³⁾ Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures

Certain components of the guidance given in the table above are provided on anon-GAAP basis only, without providing a reconciliation to guidance provided on a GAAP basis. Information is presented in this manner, consistent with SEC rules, because the preparation of such a reconciliation could

Page 3 of 18

not be accomplished without “unreasonable efforts.” The Company does not have access to certain information that would be necessary to provide such a reconciliation, includingnon-recurring items that are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operations. Such items include, but are not limited to, restructuring charges, impairment charges, pension settlement charges, acquisition-related expenses, gains or losses on investments and business disposals, losses on debt extinguishment and other similar gains or losses not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operations. The Company does not believe that excluding such items is likely to be significant to an assessment of the Company’s ongoing operations, given that such excluded items are not indicators of business performance.

Use ofnon-GAAP Information

This news release contains certainnon-GAAP measures. The Company believes that thesenon-GAAP measures, such asnon-GAAP adjusted EBITDA,non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin,non-GAAP net income/loss and free cash flow, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, provide useful information about the Company’s operating results and liquidity and enhance the overall ability to assess the Company’s financial performance. The Company uses these measures, together with other measures of performance under GAAP, to compare the relative performance of operations in planning, budgeting and reviewing the performance of its business.Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA,non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin,non-GAAP net income/loss and free cash flow allow investors to make a more meaningful comparison between the Company’s core business operating results over different periods of time. The Company believes thatnon-GAAP adjusted EBITDA,non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin,non-GAAP net income/loss and free cash flow, when viewed with the Company’s results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations, provides useful

LSC COMMUNICATIONS REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2018 RESULTS AND UPDATES FULL-YEAR 2018 GUIDANCE

information about the Company’s business without regard to potential distortions. By eliminating potential differences in results of operations between periods caused by factors such as depreciation and amortization methods, historic cost and age of assets, financing and capital structures, taxation positions or regimes, restructuring, impairment and other charges and gain or loss on certain equity investments and asset sales, the Company believes thatnon-GAAP adjusted EBITDA,non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin andnon-GAAP net income/loss can provide useful additional basis for comparing the current performance of the underlying operations being evaluated. By adjusting for the level of capital investment in operations, the Company believes that free cash flow can provide useful additional basis for understanding the Company’s ability to generate cash after capital investment and provides a comparison to peers with differing capital intensity.

Estimated Unfunded Status of Pension Benefit Plans

Based on the fair value of assets and the estimated discount rate used to value benefit obligations as of June 30, 2018, the Company estimates the unfunded status of the pension benefit plans would approximate $90 million compared to $187 million at December 31, 2017.

Estimated unfunded status at June 30, 2018	$	(4	)	$	(86	)	$	(90	)

(1) Liquidity does not include uncommitted credit facilities, located outside of the U.S.

(2) The Company has a $400 million senior secured revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) which expires on September 30, 2021. The Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a number of covenants, including, but not limited to, a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio and a maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in and calculated pursuant to the Revolving Credit Facility, 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. There were $190 million and $75 million of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

(3) The Company would have had the ability to utilize the entire $400 million Revolving Credit Facility and not have been in violation of the terms of the agreement as of June 30, 2018. Availability under the Revolving Credit Facility was reduced by $190 million in borrowings and $40 million related to outstanding letters of credit.

(4) The leverage ratio calculation includes non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA since the respective closing date of each acquisition and does not include a full 12 months ofnon-GAAP adjusted EBITDA.

(5) The Consolidated Leverage Ratio as defined in the Credit Agreement was 2.57 at June 30, 2018 compared to a maximum permitted ratio under the Credit Agreement of 3.25, which steps down to 3.00 on March 31, 2019. The full definition of Consolidated Leverage Ratio is included in the Credit Agreement filed as an exhibit to the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2018.
