• Organic net sales decrease of 29.1% from the second quarter of 2019

• GAAP net loss of $63 million, or $1.86 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $25 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2019

• Non-GAAP net loss of $16 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $3 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2019

• Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $15 million, or 2.8% of net sales, compared to $53 million, or 6.1% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2019

• Cash balance of $97 million as of June 30, 2020, providing sufficient liquidity to continue to fund ongoing operations

• No drawings under our debtor-in-possession (“DIP”) credit facility

“As we faced the unprecedented impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic during the entire second quarter, our focus has been on ensuring the health and safety of our employees, while continuing to meet our customers’ needs.” said Thomas J. Quinlan III, LSC Communications’ Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our financial results for the quarter show that our aggressive actions to restructure our manufacturing footprint, reduce cost, and drive sustainable productivity improvement are working even in the face of the significant COVID impacts on our sales. I am also pleased with the progress of our court-supervised restructuring process to strengthen LSC’s financial position for the future. Our liquidity position remains strong, with nearly $100 million of cash on hand and full availability under our DIP facility. I want to thank our employees for their continued focus and dedication during these challenging times.”

Net Sales

Second quarter net sales were $532 million, down $337 million, or 38.8%, from the second quarter of 2019. After adjusting for dispositions, changes in foreign exchange rates and pass-through paper sales, organic net sales decreased 29.1% from the second quarter of 2019. The decrease in organic net sales was seen across all segments and largely driven by the significant impact of COVID-19 in addition to the ongoing impact of digital substitution on magazine and catalog volume.

GAAP Net Income/Loss

The second quarter 2020 net loss was $63 million, or $1.86 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $25 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2019.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP Net Loss

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2020 was $15 million, or 2.8% of net sales, compared to $53 million, or 6.1% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2019. The decrease in non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was driven by volume declines and the impact of lower by-products prices. The aggressive cost savings actions and ongoing company-wide productivity initiatives helped to offset a significant portion of the earnings impact from volume declines during the quarter.

Non-GAAP net loss totaled $16 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2020 compared to non-GAAP net income of $3 million, or $0.09 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2019. Reconciliations of net loss to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income are presented in the attached schedules.

Segment Results

The Company reports its results using the following segments (1) Magazines, Catalogs and Logistics, (2) Book, (3) Office Products, (4) Mexico, and (5) other, which includes Directory and Print Management.

Magazines, Catalogs and Logistics

Second quarter net sales in Magazines, Catalogs and Logistics were $214 million, a decrease of 43.8%, from the second quarter of 2019. After adjusting for dispositions and pass-through paper sales, organic net sales decreased 30.6% from the second quarter of 2019. This organic decline was primarily due to the impact of COVID-19, as catalogers and retailers delayed or significantly reduced their print programs, as well as ongoing volume declines driven by digital substitution for printed materials.

Magazines, Catalogs and Logistics GAAP loss from operations was $57 million, compared to loss from operations of $42 million in the second quarter of 2019. Segment non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter was a loss of $24 million, compared to a loss of $9 million in the second quarter of 2019. The decline in Non-GAAP EBITDA was primarily due to volume declines including the impact of COVID-19, partially offset by productivity gains achieved through plant consolidations and the Company’s proactive cost savings program.

Book

Second quarter net sales in Book were $198 million, a decrease of 31.7% from the second quarter of 2019. After adjusting for pass-through paper sales, organic net sales decreased 23.0% from the second quarter of 2019. The organic net sales decrease was driven mainly by the impact of COVID-19 on educational book volumes due to the uncertainty around school openings.    Demand for trade books remained strong, but volumes were negatively impacted by retail store closures and other distribution channel disruptions driven by the pandemic.

Book GAAP income from operations was $4 million, compared to income from operations of $18 million in the second quarter of 2019. Segment non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA in the quarter was $17 million and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin was 8.6%, compared to $32 million in the second quarter of 2019 with a margin of 11.1%. The decrease in non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to the volume declines and lower by-products prices, partially offset by productivity and cost reduction initiatives.

Office Products

Second quarter net sales in Office Products were $81 million, a decrease of 42.2% compared to the second quarter of 2019. Sales declined on an organic basis from the second quarter of 2019 by 42.0%. The organic sales decline was primarily driven by the impacts of COVID-19, including closures of offices, schools, and retail stores. These declines were partially offset by increased sales to e-commerce retailers, which grew significantly during the quarter compared to last year.

Office Products income from operations was $0 million compared to $13 million in the second quarter of 2019. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA in the Office Products segment was $4 million for the quarter, a decrease of $13 million compared to last year’s second quarter due primarily to the volume declines partially offset by the impact of plant consolidations, productivity and cost reduction initiatives.

Use of non-GAAP Information

This news release contains certain non-GAAP measures. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures, such as non-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 that non-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

LSC COMMUNICATIONS REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2020 RESULTS

reconciliations, provides useful 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 that non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin and non-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.

(1) Restructuring, impairment and other charges - net: Operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were affected by the pre-tax restructuring charges below of $32 million ($32 million after-tax) and $24 million ($20 million after-tax), respectively.

(a) For the three months ended June 30, 2020, other restructuring charges included facility costs and costs to move equipment, expenses associated with new revenue opportunities, and implemented cost savings initiatives. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, other restructuring charges were primarily due to charges related to facility costs, costs associated with new revenue opportunities and cost savings initiatives implemented during the quarter, and pension withdrawal obligations related to facility closures.

(b) For the three months ended June 30, 2020, employee-related termination costs primarily related to two facility closures in the Magazines, Catalogs, and Logistics segment and one facility closure in the Office Products segment.

(c) During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded net impairment charges of $1 million related to machinery and equipment associated with facility closings in the Magazines, Catalogs and Logistics and book segments.

(d) As a result of the faster pace of decline in demand, negative revenue trends and lower expectations of future revenue to be derived from certain customer relationships, management determined that a certain definite-lived customer relationship intangible asset recorded in the magazines and catalogs reporting unit was not recoverable. As a result, the Company recorded a $17 million impairment charge related to a certain definite-lived customer relationship intangible asset in the magazines and catalog reporting unit for the three months ended June 30, 2019, which fully impaired the asset.

(e) Other charges related to the Company’s multi-employer pension plan withdrawal obligations unrelated to facility closures.

(2) Reorganization items, net: The three months ended June 30, 2020 included pre-tax charges of $14 million ($14 million after-tax) related to professional fees, fees related to the DIP Credit Agreement, and retention plans associated with the Company’s reorganization. Reorganization items, net also includes adjustments of claims settled in Bankruptcy Court.

(3) Share-based compensation expense: The three months ended June 30, 2020 included pre-tax charges of $1 million ($1 million after-tax) related to the Company’s employee share-based compensation plans. The three months ended June 30, 2019 included pre-tax charges of $1 million ($1 million after-tax) also related to the Company’s employee share-based compensation plans, including the unfavorable impact associated with share-based compensation awards that lapsed during the period.

(4) Settlement of retirement benefit obligations: During the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company completed a partial settlement of its retirement benefit obligations, and as a result, the Company’s pension assets and liabilities were remeasured as of the settlement date. The Company recorded a pre-tax non-cash settlement charge of $1 million ($1 million after-tax) in settlement of retirement benefit obligations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

(5) Expenses related to acquisitions, the Merger Agreement and dispositions: The three months ended June 30, 2019 included pre-tax charges of $5 million ($6 million after-tax) primarily related to the Merger Agreement.

Note: The income tax impact is calculated using the tax rate in effect for the Non-GAAP adjustments. There was no tax expense allocated to Non-GAAP adjustments related to U.S. balances (majority of restructuring, impairment and other charges and all of share-based compensation) for the three months ended June 30, 2020 due to the Company’s valuation allowance in the U.S.

(1) Restructuring, impairment and other charges - net: Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were affected by the pre-tax restructuring charges below of $58 million ($57 million after-tax) and $37 million ($33 million after-tax), respectively.

	For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2020		2019
Other restructuring charges (a)	$	44	$	12
Employee termination costs (b)		11		5
Other charges (c)		1		1
Impairment charges - intangibles (d)		—		17
Impairment charges - machinery and equipment (e)		2		2
Total restructuring, impairment and other charges - net	$	58	$	37

(a) For the six months ended June 30, 2020, other restructuring costs primarily included facility costs, costs associated with new revenue opportunities and cost savings initiatives implemented in 2019, lease costs, and pension withdrawal obligations related to facility closures. The six months ended June 30, 2019 included charges related to facility costs, costs associated with new revenue opportunities and cost savings initiatives implemented in 2019, and pension withdrawal obligations related to facility closures.

(b) For the six months ended June 30, 2020, employee-related termination costs primarily related to two facility closures in the Magazines, Catalogs, and Logistics segment and one facility closure in the Office Products segment. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, employee-related termination costs primarily related to one facility closure in the Magazines, Catalogs and Logistics segment.

(c) Other charges related to the Company’s multi-employer pension plan withdrawal obligations unrelated to facility closures.

(d) As a result of the faster pace of decline in demand, negative revenue trends and lower expectations of future revenue to be derived from certain customer relationships, management determined that a certain definite-lived customer relationship intangible asset recorded in the magazines and catalogs reporting unit was not recoverable. Therefore, the charges during the six months ended June 30, 2019 are primarily due to a $17 million impairment charge which fully impaired the asset.

(e) During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded net impairment charges of $2 million related to machinery and equipment associated with facility closings in the Magazines, Catalogs and Logistics and book segments. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded net impairment charges of $2 million related to machinery and equipment associated with facility closings in the Magazines, Catalogs and Logistics and Book segments.

(2) Reorganization items, net: The six months ended June 30, 2020 included pre-tax charges of $14 million ($14 million after-tax) related to professional fees, fees related to the DIP Credit Agreement, and retention plans associated with the Company’s reorganization. Reorganization items, net also includes adjustments of claims settled in Bankruptcy Court.

(3) Share-based compensation expense: The six months ended June 30, 2020 included pre-tax charges of $2 million ($2 million after-tax) related to the Company’s employee share-based compensation plans. The six months ended June 30, 2019 included pre-tax charges of $4 million ($4 million after-tax) also related to the Company’s employee share-based compensation plans, including the unfavorable impact associated with share-based compensation awards that lapsed during the period.

(4) Settlement of retirement benefit obligations: During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company completed a partial settlement of its retirement benefit obligations, and as a result, the Company’s pension assets and liabilities were remeasured as of the settlement date. The Company recorded a pre-tax non-cash settlement charge of $133 million ($99 million after-tax) in settlement of retirement benefit obligations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

(5) Expenses related to acquisitions, the Merger Agreement and dispositions: The six months ended June 30, 2019 included pre-tax charges of $12 million ($12 million after-tax) primarily related to the Merger Agreement.

(6) Valuation Allowance: The six months ended June 30, 2020 included a valuation allowance recorded on the Company’s deferred tax assets.

Note: The income tax impact is calculated using the tax rate in effect for the Non-GAAP adjustments. There was no tax expense allocated to Non-GAAP adjustments related to U.S. balances (majority of restructuring, impairment and other charges and all of share-based compensation) for the six months ended June 30, 2020 due to the Company’s valuation allowance in the U.S.

Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11 and Debtor-in-Possession Financing (“DIP”)

Voluntary Reorganization: On April 13, 2020, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101-1532 in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (collectively, the “Chapter 11 Cases”). The commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default with respect to the Senior Notes, the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility (the “Debt Instruments”). The Debt Instruments provide that as a result of the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, the principal and interest due thereunder shall be immediately due and payable.

DIP Financing: The Company obtained DIP financing of up to $100 million which, together with our normal operating cash flows, will provide liquidity for the Company to operate as usual and fulfill ongoing commitments to stakeholders during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases. The DIP Facility was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on a final basis on June 2, 2020. The Company did not have borrowings related to the DIP Facility as of June 30, 2020. Available capacity is reduced by outstanding Letters of Credit.
