Overview and Basis of Presentat

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Overview and Basis of Presentation	Note 1. Overview and Basis of Presentation Description of Business and Separation The principal business of LSC Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries (“LSC Communications,” “the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us”) is to offer a broad scope of traditional and digital print, print-related services and office products. The Company serves the needs of publishers, merchandisers and retailers worldwide with a service offering that includes e-services, warehousing and fulfillment and supply chain management. The Company utilizes a broad portfolio of technology capabilities coupled with consultative attention to clients' needs to increase speed to market, reduce costs, provide postal savings to customers and improve efficiencies. On October 1, 2016 (the “separation date”), R. R. Donnelley & Sons Company (“RRD” or the “Parent”) completed the previously announced separation (the “separation”) into three separate independent publicly-traded companies: (i) its publishing and retail-centric print services and office products business (“LSC Communications”); (ii) its financial communications services business (“Donnelley Financial Solutions, Inc.” or “Donnelley Financial”) and (iii) a global, customized multichannel communications management company, which is the business of RRD after the separation. To effect the separation, RRD undertook a series of transactions to separate net assets and legal entities. RRD completed the distribution (the “distribution”) of 80.75%, of the outstanding common stock of LSC Communications and Donnelley Financial to RRD shareholders on October 1, 2016. RRD retained a 19.25% ownership stake in both LSC Communications and Donnelley Financial. On October 1, 2016, RRD shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 23, 2016 received one share of LSC Communications common stock and one share of Donnelley Financial common stock for every eight shares of RRD common stock held as of the record date. In March 2017, RRD completed the sale of 6.2 million shares of LSC Communications common stock, representing its entire 19.25% retained ownership . In connection with the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters as part of the secondary sale by RRD, LSC Communications also sold 0.9 million shares of common stock, receiving proceeds of $18 million, which were used for general corporate purposes. In connection with the separation, LSC Communications, RRD and Donnelley Financial entered into commercial arrangements, transition services agreements and various other agreements related to the separation that remain in effect. Final copies of such agreements are filed as exhibits to this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated and combined financial statements reflect the consolidated balance sheets and results of operations of the Company as an independent, publicly traded company for the period after the separation, and the condensed combined balance sheets and results of operations of the Company as a combined reporting entity of RRD for the periods prior to the separation. The condensed consolidated and combined financial statements include the balance sheets, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These unaudited condensed consolidated and combined interim financial statements include estimates and assumptions of management that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated and combined financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. On October 1, 2016, the Company recorded certain separation-related adjustments primarily for certain assets and liabilities that were distributed as part of the separation from RRD. The adjustments primarily related to the assumption of certain pension obligations and plan assets in single employer plans for the Company’s employees and certain former employees and retirees of RRD. Additional separation-related adjustments may be recorded in future periods. LSC Communications generates a portion of its net sales from sales to RRD’s subsidiaries. Additionally, LSC Communications utilizes RRD for freight and logistics when shipping finished goods to its customers, premedia services and printing products. Refer to Note 15, Related Parties Prior to the Separation The condensed combined financial statements were prepared on a stand-alone basis and were derived from RRD’s consolidated financial statements and accounting records. They include certain expenses of RRD which were allocated to LSC Communications for certain corporate functions, including healthcare and pension benefits, 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 a pro rata basis by revenue, employee headcount, or other measures. The Company considered the allocation methodologies and results to be reasonable for all periods presented; however, these allocations may not be indicative of the actual expenses that LSC Communications would have incurred as an independent public company or the costs it may incur in the future. The income tax amounts in these 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. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. All intracompany transactions between LSC Communications, RRD and Donnelley Financial are considered to be effectively settled in the condensed 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 condensed combined statement of cash flows as a financing activity.

Restructuring, Impairment and Other Charges	Note 6. Restructuring, Impairment and Other Charges For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded the following net restructuring, impairment and other charges: Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 Employee Terminations Other Restructuring Charges Total Restructuring Charges Impairment Other Charges Total Print $ 3 $ 1 $ 4 $ — $ 1 $ 5 Office Products 1 — 1 — — 1 Total $ 4 $ 1 $ 5 $ — $ 1 $ 6 Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 Employee Terminations Other Restructuring Charges Total Restructuring Charges Impairment Other Charges Total Print $ — $ 2 $ 2 $ — $ 1 $ 3 Total $ — $ 2 $ 2 $ — $ 1 $ 3 Restructuring and Impairment Charges For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company incurred employee-related restructuring charges of $4 million for an aggregate of 198 employees, of whom 161 were terminated as of or prior to March 31, 2017. These charges primarily related to the reorganization of certain business units and corporate functions. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company incurred lease termination and other restructuring charges of $2 million. The Company also recorded de minimis amounts for employee terminations and net impairment charges for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Other Charges For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recorded other charges of $1 million for multi-employer pension plan withdrawal obligations unrelated to facility closures. The total liability for the withdrawal obligations associated with the Company’s decision to withdraw from certain multi-employer pension plans included in accrued liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities are $6 million and $39 million, respectively, at March 31, 2017. The Company’s withdrawal liabilities could be affected by the financial stability of other employers participating in such plans and any decisions by those employers to withdraw from such plans in the future. While it is not possible to quantify the potential impact of future events or circumstances, reductions in other employers’ participation in multi-employer pension plans, including certain plans from which the Company has previously withdrawn, could have a material effect on the Company’s previously estimated withdrawal liabilities and condensed consolidated and combined balance sheets, results of operations or cash flows. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company recorded other charges of $1 million for multi-employer pension plan withdrawal obligations unrelated to facility closures. Restructuring Reserve The restructuring reserve as of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017, and changes during the three months ended March 31, 2017, were as follows: December 31, 2016 Restructuring Charges Foreign Exchange and Other Cash Paid March 31, 2017 Employee terminations $ 8 $ 4 $ — $ (2 ) $ 10 Multi-employer pension plan withdrawal obligations 18 — — (1 ) 17 Lease terminations and other 2 1 — (1 ) 2 Total $ 28 $ 5 $ — $ (4 ) $ 29 The current portion of restructuring reserves of $15 million at March 31, 2017 was included in accrued liabilities, while the long-term portion of $14 million, which primarily related to multi-employer pension plan withdrawal obligations related to facility closures and lease termination costs, was included in other noncurrent liabilities at March 31, 2017. The Company anticipates that payments associated with the employee terminations reflected in the above table will be substantially completed by March 2018. Payments on all of the Company’s multi-employer pension plan withdrawal obligations are scheduled to be completed by 2034. Changes based on uncertainties in these estimated withdrawal obligations could affect the ultimate charges related to multi-employer pension plan withdrawals. The restructuring liabilities classified as “lease terminations and other” consisted of lease terminations and other facility closing costs. Payments on certain of the lease obligations are scheduled to continue until 2018. 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.

Retirement Plans	Note 7. Retirement Plans The Company is the sole sponsor of certain defined benefit pension plans, which have been reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. At the separation date, the Company assumed and recorded certain pension obligations and plan assets in single employer plans for the Company’s employees and certain former employees and retirees. The Company recorded a net benefit plan obligation of $358 million as of October 1, 2016 related to these plans. Additionally, the Company’s United Kingdom pension plan was transferred to RRD at the separation date, and as a result, the Company recorded a reduction in its net benefit plan assets of $7 million as of October 1, 2016.

Share Based Compensation [Abstract]
Share-Based Compensation	Note 8. Share-Based Compensation Prior to the separation, RRD maintained an incentive stock program for the benefit of its officers, directors, and certain employees, including the Company’s employees. A portion of the Company’s employees have participated in RRD’s incentive stock program which included stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance share units (“PSUs”). Share-based compensation expense included expense attributable to the Company based on the award terms previously granted to the Company’s employees and an allocation of compensation expense associated with RRD’s corporate and shared functional employees. As the share-based compensation plans were RRD’s plans, the amounts were recognized through net parent company investment on the condensed combined balance sheets. In connection with the separation, outstanding RRD stock options, RSUs and PSUs previously issued under RRD’s incentive stock program were adjusted and converted into awards at a participant’s new employer or into a basket of awards of each of the Company, RRD and Donnelley Financial using a formula designed to preserve the intrinsic value and fair value of the awards immediately prior to the separation. In periods after the separation, the Company records share-based compensation expense held by its employees, officers and directors relating to LSC Communications, RRD and Donnelley Financial awards. As the separation date, the outstanding RRD options related to the 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012 grants were modified and converted into stock options in all three companies at a conversion rate outlined in the separation and distribution agreement. The outstanding shares related to the 2013 and 2014 RRD RSUs were modified and converted into RSUs in all three companies as outlined in the separation and distribution agreement. The outstanding shares related to the 2015 and 2016 RRD RSUs were converted into RSUs in the company that the grantees were employed by at the separation date. Modifications were made to the RRD PSUs so that as of the separation date, the performance period for the 2014 and 2015 PSU grants ended. The applicable performance was measured as of the separation date against revised cumulative free cash flow targets approved by the RRD Board of Directors. The 2014 PSUs converted into RSUs in all three companies in accordance with the separation and distribution agreement. The 2015 PSUs converted into RSUs in the company that the grantees were employed by at the separation date. Total compensation expense related to all share-based compensation plans for the Company’s employees, officers and directors was $3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The Company was allocated share-based compensation expense from RRD of $1 million related to all share-based compensation plans for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Stock Options There were no options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2017 or 2016. A summary of the Company’s stock option activity for LSC Communications, RRD and Donnelley Financial employees, officers and directors as of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017, and changes during the three months ended March 31, 2017 is presented below.

This amount will change in future periods based on the fair market value of LSC Communications stock and the number of options outstanding. Total intrinsic value of options exercised for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was de minimis. There was a de minimis amount of excess tax benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2017. There was no compensation expense related to stock options for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Restricted Stock Units A summary of the Company’s RSU activity for LSC Communications, RRD and Donnelley Financial employees and officers who hold LSC Communications RSUs as of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017, and changes during the three months ended March 31, 2017 is presented below.

The shares are subject to time-based vesting and will cliff vest on March 2, 2020. The total potential payout for the awards is 150,290 shares. The fair value of these awards was determined based on the Company’s stock price on the grant date reduced by the present value of expected dividends through the vesting period. These awards are subject to forfeiture upon termination of employment prior to vesting, subject in some cases to early vesting upon specified events, including death, permanent disability or retirement of the grantee or change of control of the Company. Compensation expense related to LSC Communications, RRD and Donnelley Financial RSUs held by Company employees, officers and directors was $2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. As of March 31, 2017, there was $12 million of unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to approximately 0.7 million RSUs, with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $28.10, that are expected to vest over a weighted average period of 2.1 Restricted Stock Awards A summary of restricted stock award (“RSA”) activity for the Company’s employees related to awards granted after the separation as of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017, and changes during the three months ended March 31, 2017 is presented below.

The performance period for the shares is January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017. In addition to being subject to achievement of the performance target, the shares are also subject to time-based vesting on March 2, 2020. Both the performance-based vesting and the time-based vesting must be met for the PRS to vest. The fair value of these awards was determined on the date of grant based on the Company’s stock price. These awards are subject to forfeiture upon termination of employment prior to vesting, subject in some cases to early vesting upon specified events, including death, permanent disability or retirement of the grantee or change of control of the Company. Compensation expense for the awards granted during the three months ended March 31, 2017 is being recognized based on an estimated payout of 37,300 shares. Compensation expense for the awards granted during the three months ended December 31, 2016 is being recognized based on an estimated payout of 266,072 shares.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	Note 12. Segment Information The Company’s segment and product and service offerings are summarized below: Print The Print segment produces magazines, catalogs, retail inserts, books, and directories. The segment also provides supply-chain management and certain other print-related services, including mail-list management and sortation, e-book formatting and distribution. The segment has operations in the U.S., Europe and Mexico. The Print segment is divided into the magazines, catalog and retail inserts, book, Europe and directories reporting units. Office Products The Office Products segment manufactures and sells branded and private label products in five core categories: filing products, note-taking products, binder products, forms and envelopes. Corporate Corporate consists of unallocated selling, general and administrative activities and associated expenses including, in part, executive, legal, finance, communications, certain facility costs and LIFO inventory provisions. In addition, certain costs and earnings of employee benefit plans, such as pension benefit plan income and share-based compensation, are included in Corporate and not allocated to the operating segments. Prior to the separation, many of these costs were based on allocations from RRD; however, the Company has incurred such costs directly after the separation. Information by Segment The Company has disclosed income (loss) from operations as the primary measure of segment earnings (loss). This is the measure of profitability used by the Company’s chief operating decision-maker and is most consistent with the presentation of profitability reported with the condensed consolidated and combined financial statements.

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies The Company is subject to laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. The Company accrues for expenses associated with environmental remediation obligations when such amounts are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Such accruals are adjusted as new information develops or circumstances change and are generally not discounted. The Company has been designated as a potentially responsible party or has received claims in nine active federal and state Superfund and other multiparty remediation sites. In addition to these sites, the Company may also have the obligation to remediate four other previously and currently owned facilities. At the Superfund sites, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act provides that the Company’s liability could be joint and several, meaning that the Company could be required to pay an amount in excess of its proportionate share of the remediation costs. The Company’s understanding of the financial strength of other potentially responsible parties at the multiparty sites and of other liable parties at the previously owned facilities has been considered, where appropriate, in the determination of the Company’s estimated liability. The Company established reserves, recorded in accrued liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities, that it believes are adequate to cover its share of the potential costs of remediation at each of the multiparty sites and the previously and currently owned facilities. It is not possible to quantify with certainty the potential impact of actions regarding environmental matters, particularly remediation and other compliance efforts that the Company may undertake in the future. However, in the opinion of management, compliance with the present environmental protection laws, before taking into account estimated recoveries from third parties, will not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated and combined balance sheets, results of operations and cash flows. 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 condensed consolidated and combined balance sheets, results of operations and cash flows.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt	Note 14. Debt The Company’s debt at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 consisted of the following: March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Term Loan Facility due September 30, 2022 (a) $ 303 $ 353 8.75% Senior Secured Notes due October 15, 2023 450 450 Capital lease obligations 5 6 Unamortized debt issuance costs (14 ) (15 ) Total debt 744 794 Less: current portion (15 ) (52 ) Long-term debt $ 729 $ 742 (a) The borrowings under the Term Loan Facility are subject to a variable interest rate. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the interest rate was 7.00%. __________________________________ The fair values of the Senior Notes and Term Loan Facility, which were 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 debt was greater than its book value by approximately $23 million and $22 million at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. On September 30, 2016, the Company issued $450 million of 8.75% Senior Secured Notes (the “Senior Notes”) due October 15, 2023. Interest on the Senior Notes is due semi-annually on April 15 and October 15, commencing on April 15, 2017. Net proceeds from the offering of the Senior Notes (“the Notes Offering”) were distributed to RRD in the form of a dividend. The Company did not retain any proceeds from the Notes Offering. The Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture where certain wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries of the Company guarantee the Senior Notes (the “Guarantors”). The Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a senior secured basis, jointly and severally, by the Guarantors, which are comprised of each of the Company’s existing and future direct and indirect wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries that guarantee the Company’s obligations. The Senior Notes are not guaranteed by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries or unrestricted subsidiaries. The Senior Notes and the related guarantees are secured on a first-priority lien basis by the collateral, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens. The Indenture governing the Senior Notes contains certain covenants applicable to the Company and its restricted subsidiaries, including limitations on: (1) liens; (2) indebtedness; (3) mergers, consolidations and acquisitions; (4) sales, transfers and other dispositions of assets; (5) loans and other investments; (6) dividends and other distributions, stock repurchases and redemptions and other restricted payments; (7) restrictions affecting subsidiaries; (8) transactions with affiliates; and (9) designations of unrestricted subsidiaries. Each of these covenants is subject to important exceptions and qualifications. On September 30, 2016 the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) which provides for (i) a new senior secured term loan B facility in an aggregate principal amount of $375 million (the “Term Loan Facility”) and (ii) a new senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $400 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility,”). The interest rate per annum applicable to the Term Loan Facility is equal to, at the Company’s option, either a base rate plus a margin of 5.00% or LIBOR plus a margin of 6.00%. The LIBOR rate is subject to a “floor” of 1%. The interest rate per annum applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility is equal to a base rate plus a margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.25%, or LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 2.75% to 3.25%, in either case based upon the Consolidated Leverage Ratio of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries. Interest on the Credit Agreement is due at least quarterly and commenced on December 31, 2016. The Term Loan Facility will amortize in quarterly installments of $13 million for the first eight quarters and $11 million for subsequent quarters. The debt issuance costs and original issue discount are being amortized over the life of the facilities using the effective interest method. The Term Loan Facility will mature on September 30, 2022 and the Revolving Credit Facility will mature on September 30, 2021. The proceeds of any collection or other realization of collateral received in connection with the exercise of remedies and any distribution in respect of collateral in any bankruptcy proceeding will be applied first to repay amounts due under the Revolving Credit Facility before the lenders under the Term Loan Facility or the holders of the Senior Notes receive such proceeds. The Credit Agreement is subject to a number of covenants, including, but not limited to, a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio and the Consolidated 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. The Credit Agreement generally allows annual dividend payments of up to $50 million in aggregate, though additional dividends may be allowed subject to certain conditions. Each of these covenants is subject to important exceptions and qualifications. The Company used the net proceeds from the Term Loan Facility to fund a cash dividend to RRD in connection with the spin off and to pay fees and expenses related to the spin off from RRD in 2016. The Company intends to use any additional borrowings under the Credit Facilities for general corporate purposes, including the financing of permitted investments. On February 2, 2017, the Company paid in advance the full amount of required amortization payments, $50 million, for the year ended December 31, 2017 for the Term Loan Facility. There were de minimis amounts of interest income during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. There were no borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Parties	Note 15: Related Parties In March 2017, RRD completed the sale of 6.2 million shares of LSC Communications common stock, representing its entire 19.25% retained ownership. Prior to the separation, the Company had not historically operated as a stand-alone business. After the separation, the Company has entered into commercial arrangements with RRD. Under the terms of the commercial arrangements, RRD continues to provide, among other things, logistics, premedia, production and sales services to LSC Communications. In addition, LSC Communications continues to provide sales support services to RRD’s Asia and Mexico print and graphics management businesses in order to facilitate the importing of books and related products to the U.S. RRD also provides LSC Communications certain global outsourcing, technical support and other services. Allocations from RRD Prior to the separation, RRD provided LSC Communications certain services, which included, but were not limited to, information technology, finance, legal, human resources, internal audit, treasury, tax, investor relations and executive oversight. RRD charged the Company for these services based on direct usage, when available, with the remainder allocated on a pro rata basis by revenue, headcount, or other measures. These allocations were reflected as follows in the condensed combined financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2016: Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 Costs of goods sold $ 22 Selling, general and administrative 32 Depreciation and amortization 2 Total allocations from RRD $ 56 The Company considered the expense methodologies and financial results to be reasonable for all periods presented. However, these allocations may not be indicative of the actual expenses that may have been incurred as an independent public company or the costs LSC Communications may incur in the future. After the separation, the Company no longer receives or records allocations from RRD. The Company records transactions with RRD as external arms-length transactions in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Transactions with RR Donnelley Receivables and Payables As of March 31, 2017, the Company had $55 million and $45 million of trade receivables and payables, respectively, with RRD. In addition, receivables as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 included a $10 million non-trade receivable owed by RRD that was paid in April 2017. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had $62 million and $56 million of trade receivables and payables, respectively, with RRD. Revenues and Purchases LSC Communications generates a portion of net revenue from sales to RRD’s subsidiaries. Net revenues from related party sales were $32 million and $10 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. These amounts are included in the condensed consolidated and combined results of operations. LSC Communications utilizes RRD for freight, logistics and premedia services. Included in the condensed consolidated and combined financial statements were costs of sales related to freight, logistics and premedia services purchased from RRD of $51 million and $47 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Accounting Changes And Error Corrections [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements	Note 16. New Accounting Pronouncements In March 2017, the Financial Standards Accounting Board (“FASB”) issued 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”). This ASU requires entities to disaggregate the service cost component from other components of net benefit cost and present it with other employee compensation costs. All other components of net benefit cost will need to be presented elsewhere on the income statement outside of income from operations. Only the service cost component would be eligible for capitalization into inventory. The standard is effective in the first quarter 2018. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2017-07, the Company expects to reclassify approximately $46 million and $45 million related to the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, of net pension income out of income from operations to a line item outside of income from operations, resulting in no net impact to net income. In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (“ASU 2017-04”). The standard eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, and instead, recognizes an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated. The standard is effective in the first quarter 2020, with early adoption permitted on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU 2017-04. In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-01 "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business" (“ASU 2017-01”) in order to clarify the definition of a business as it relates to whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The standard becomes effective in the first quarter of 2018. The Company plans to adopt the standard in the first quarter of 2018. The impact is not expected to be material. In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-15 “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (“ASU2016-15”), which provided guidance on eight specific cash flow classification issues to reduce existing diversity in practice. The standard becomes effective in the first quarter of 2018. Early adoption of ASU 2016-15 is permitted; however the Company plans to adopt the standard in the first quarter of 2018. The Company does not expect a significant impact to presentation on its condensed consolidated and combined statements of cash flows. In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09 “Stock Compensation (Topic 718) – Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”) which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory withholding requirements, as well as the classification of share-based payment transactions on the statement of cash flows. The standard became effective in the first quarter of 2017. As early adoption of ASU 2016-09 is permitted, the Company adopted the standard in the fourth quarter of 2016. The election to early adopt ASU 2016-09 requires any adjustments as of January 1, 2016, the beginning of the annual period that includes the interim period of adoption, to be reflected. The requirements of ASU 2016-09 did not have a material impact to any of the periods presented. In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842) Section A—Leases: Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification” (“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. Early adoption of ASU 2016-02 is permitted; however the Company plans to adopt the standard in the first quarter of 2019. The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02. In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“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 defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 to January 1, 2018. Early adoption of ASU 2014-09 is permitted in the first quarter of 2017. The Company plans to adopt the standard in the first quarter of 2018. The standard allows the option of either a full retrospective adoption, meaning the standard is applied to all periods presented, or a modified retrospective adoption approach, meaning the standard is applied only to the most current period. The Company currently anticipates adopting the standard using the modified retrospective adoption approach. While the Company is continuing to assess all potential impacts of the standard, the Company currently believes the most significant impacts relate to: • Whether the accounting for the revenue of customized products is over time or at a point in time. Currently, the Company’s Print operating segment produces a substantial amount of customized product. Under current revenue recognition guidance, revenue is recognized when the products are completed and shipped to the customer (dependent upon specific shipping terms). The Company is currently evaluating whether, under the new guidance, revenue would be recognized over the time the goods are produced and not necessarily dependent upon shipment to the customer. Should the Company conclude that revenue should be recognized over time, rather than at a point in time under current guidance, this could have a material impact on the timing of revenue recognition and might require significant changes in internal processes and controls. However, the Company anticipates that this would not impact the timing of cash flows, given that invoicing and payment thereof is usually associated with the delivery of product. • The accounting for inventory billed but not yet shipped. Under current guidance, the Company defers revenue for inventory billed but not yet shipped. Under the new standard, in certain situations the Company may be able to recognize revenue for inventory billed but not yet shipped, which could accelerate the timing, but not the total amount, of revenue recognized and would not impact the timing of cash flows, given that invoicing and payment thereof is usually associated with the delivery of product. Due to the complexity of certain of the Company’s contracts, the actual revenue recognition treatment required under the new standard will be dependent on contract specific terms. The Company anticipates it will be able to complete its analysis of the above items, implement any system and process changes that might be necessary and educate the appropriate employees with respect to the new standard in order to effectively adopt the standard beginning in the first quarter of 2018.
