Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Overview and Basis of Presentation	Note 1. Overview and Basis of Presentation Description of Business 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, logistics, 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. Description of Separation 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 stockholders on October 1, 2016. RRD retained a % ownership stake in both LSC Communications and Donnelley Financial. On October 1, 2016, RRD stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 23, 2016 (“the record date”) 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. . Basis of Presentation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the balance sheets, statements of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include estimates and assumptions of management that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Certain prior year amounts were restated to conform to the Company’s current statement of operations and cash flows classifications. 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”) in the first quarter of 2018. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2017-07, the Company will reclassify $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 impact to net income. In the first quarter of 2018, $11 million of net pension income was reclassified from selling, general and administrative expenses to investment and other income-net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The Company adopted in the first quarter of 2018. The standard amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents to be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The standard does not provide a definition of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The standard requires a retrospective transition method to be applied to each period presented. The Company included a reconciliation of beginning-of-period and end-of-period amounts in condensed consolidated statements of cash flows to the condensed consolidated balance sheets. U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) The Company’s accounting for the Tax Act remains provisional for amounts recorded as of December 31, 2017. As disclosed in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K (Note 14, Income Taxes global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) The Company has not made any additional measurement-period adjustments related to these items during the three months ended March 31, 2018. The Company is continuing to gather additional information to complete the accounting for these items and expects to complete the accounting within the prescribed measurement period.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Business Combinations	Note 2. Business Combinations 2017 Acquisitions On November 29, 2017, the Company acquired The Clark Group, (“Clark Group”), a third-party logistics provider of distribution, consolidation, transportation management and international freight forwarding services. The acquisition enhanced the Company’s logistics service offering. The total purchase price was $25 million in cash, of which $16 million was recorded in goodwill. On November 9, 2017, the Company acquired Quality Park, a producer of envelopes, mailing supplies and assorted packaging items. The acquisition enhanced the Company’s office products offerings. On September 7, 2017, the Company acquired Publishers Press, a printing provider with capabilities such as web-offset printing, prepress and distribution services for magazines and retail brands. The acquisition enhanced the Company’s printing capabilities. The total purchase price was $68 million in cash, of which $1 million was recorded in goodwill. On August 21, 2017, the Company acquired the assets of NECI, LLC (“NECI”), a supplier of commodity and specialty filing supplies On On July 28, 2017, the Company acquired Fairrington Transportation Corp., F.T.C. Transport, Inc. and F.T.C. Services, Inc. (“Fairrington”), a full-service, printer-independent mailing logistics provider in the United States. The acquisition enhanced the Company’s logistics service offering. The purchase price was $19 million in cash and approximately 1.0 million shares of LSC Communications common stock, for a total transaction value of $39 million. Of the total purchase price, $22 million was recorded in goodwill. On March 1, 2017, the Company acquired HudsonYards Studios (“HudsonYards”), a digital and print premedia production company that provides high-quality creative retouching, computer-generated imagery, mechanical creation, press-ready file preparation, and interactive production services. The acquisition enhanced the Company’s digital and premedia capabilities. The purchase price for HudsonYards was $3 million in cash, of which $2 million was recorded in goodwill. The operations of Clark Group, Publishers Press, CREEL, Fairrington, and HudsonYards are included in the Print segment; specifically the magazines, catalogs and retail inserts reporting unit. The operations of Quality Park and NECI are included in the Office Products segment. The acquisitions were recorded by allocating the cost of the acquisitions 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 acquisitions over the net amounts assigned to the fair value of the assets acquired was recorded in goodwill. The goodwill is primarily attributable to the synergies expected to arise as a result of the acquisitions. The preliminary tax deductible goodwill related to the Clark Group, Quality Park, Publishers Press, NECI, CREEL, Fairrington, and HudsonYards acquisitions was $38 million. The purchase price allocations for the Clark Group and Quality Park are preliminary as of March 31, 2018 because the valuations necessary to assess the fair values of the net assets and liabilities acquired are still in process. The primary areas that are not yet finalized relate to the valuation of certain assets and liabilities. The final purchase price allocations may differ from what is currently reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements and could affect goodwill impairment in the future. The purchase price allocations for Publishers Press, NECI, CREEL, Fairrington, and HudsonYards are final as of March 31, 2018. There were no significant changes to the purchase price allocations for all acquisitions as of March 31, 2018 compared to the disclosed purchase price allocations in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. The purchase price allocations for the material acquisitions noted above were as follows: Clark Group Quality Park Publishers Press CREEL Fairrington Accounts Receivable $ 6 $ 19 $ 27 $ 12 $ 6 Inventories — 27 13 5 — Prepaid expenses and other current assets — 1 1 1 — Property, plant and equipment — 8 36 20 6 Other intangible assets 14 1 — 23 17 Other noncurrent assets — — 1 — 1 Goodwill (bargain purchase) 16 (2 ) 1 26 22 Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (8 ) (11 ) (14 ) (9 ) (4 ) Deferred taxes – net (3 ) (2 ) — — (9 ) Purchase price, net of cash acquired $ 25 $ 41 $ 65 $ 78 $ 39 Less: value of common stock issued — — — — 20 Less: accrued but unpaid contingent consideration — — — 1 — Net cash paid: $ 25 $ 41 $ 65 $ 77 $ 19 In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other As a result of the goodwill impairment tests, and consistent with prior goodwill impairment tests, the magazines, catalogs and retail inserts reporting unit’s fair value continued to be at a value below its carrying value. This is primarily due to the negative revenue trends experienced in recent years that are only partially offset by the impact of the new acquisitions. The charges to recognize the impairment of goodwill in the magazines, catalogs and retail inserts reporting unit were $55 million and $18 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The total charge was $73 million for 2017, resulting in zero goodwill associated with the magazines, catalogs and retail inserts reporting unit as of December 31, 2017. As a result of a $1 million adjustment of previously recorded goodwill associated with the 2017 acquisitions, there was a reduction of goodwill impairment charges of $1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018. The fair values of goodwill, other intangible assets and property, plant and equipment associated with the acquisitions were determined to be Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy, which included discounted cash flow analyses, comparable marketplace fair value data and management’s assumptions for the goodwill impairment charges. Property, plant and equipment values were estimated using either the cost or market approach, if a secondhand market existed. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded $1 million and a de minimis amount of acquisition-related expenses, respectively, associated with the completed and contemplated acquisitions described above within selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Pro forma results The following unaudited pro forma financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 presents the condensed consolidated statements of operations of the Company and the acquisitions described above, as if the acquisitions had occurred as of January 1 of the year prior to the acquisitions. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not intended to represent or be indicative of the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations that would have been reported had these acquisitions been completed as of the beginning of the period presented and should not be taken as indicative of the Company’s future condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Revenue From Contract With Customer [Abstract]
Revenue Recognition	Note 3. Revenue Recognition Financial Statement Impact of Adopting ASC 606 The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASC 606”, or the “standard”) on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method for all contracts not completed as of the date of adoption. The reported results for 2018 reflect the application of ASC 606 guidance while the reported results for 2017 were prepared and continue to be reported under the guidance of ASC 605, Revenue Recognition The Company assessed all aspects of the standard’s potential impact and focused further assessment on customized products, deferred revenue and certain items in inventory, which are areas that were determined could have had a material impact on the Company’s accounting for revenue. Potential impacts of other aspects of the standard have not had a material impact to the Company’s accounting for revenue. The Company completed the evaluation of whether the accounting for revenue from customized products should be over time or at a point in time under the standard. Based on analysis of specific terms associated with current customer contracts, the Company concluded that revenue should be recognized at a point in time for substantially all customized products. This treatment is consistent with revenue recognition under previous guidance, where revenue was recognized when the products were completed and shipped to the customer (dependent upon specific shipping terms). Any contracts whereby revenue for customized products should be recognized over time, as opposed to a point in time, are immaterial due to the de minimis nature of any particular order under such contracts in production at any given point in time. As revenue recognition is dependent upon individual contractual terms, the Company will continue its evaluation of any new or amended contracts entered into, including contracts that the Company might assume as a result of acquisition activity. With respect to deferred revenue and certain items in inventory, the Company determined ASC 606 impacted the following situations: • Completed production billed to the customer but not yet shipped: Under previous guidance, for a majority of these situations the Company deferred revenue for completed production items for which the customer had requested to be billed (or for which the Company is entitled to bill under the contract), but for which the production items had not yet shipped to the customer. Under ASC 606, based upon our evaluation of the contractual terms, the Company is typically able to recognize revenue once it completes production depending on the specific facts and circumstances. • Completed production held in inventory (including consigned inventory): With certain customer contracts, the Company is permitted to complete a pre-defined amount of product and hold such inventory until the customer requests shipment (which generally is required to be delivered in the same year as production). For these items, the Company has the contractual right to receive payment once the production is completed, regardless of the ultimate delivery date. Under previous guidance, the Company held this as inventory and recognized revenue upon shipment to the customer. Under ASC 606, based upon our evaluation of the contractual terms, the Company will be able to recognize revenue once it completes production. • Safety stock: In very limited situations, the Company is permitted to produce and hold in inventory a pre-defined amount of safety stock. Similar to completed production held in inventory, for these items the Company has the contractual right to receive payment for the pre-defined amount once the production is completed, regardless of the ultimate delivery date. Under previous guidance, the Company held this as inventory and recognized revenue upon shipment to the customer. Under ASC 606, based upon our evaluation of the contractual terms, the Company is able to recognize revenue once it completes production. Upon adoption of ASC 606, the Company eliminated any deferred revenue and inventory associated with the above three categories against its accumulated deficit within total equity. Based upon the balances that existed as of December 31, 2017, the Company recorded adjustments to the following accounts as of January 1, 2018: As Reported Adjustments Adjusted December 31, Adoption of January 1, 2017 ASC 606 2018 Assets Receivables, net $ 727 $ 32 $ 759 Inventories 238 (32 ) 206 Deferred income taxes 51 (3 ) 48 Liabilities Accrued liabilities $ 239 $ (12 ) $ 227 Equity (Accumulated deficit) retained earnings $ (90 ) $ 9 $ (81 ) As a result of the above adjustments, total assets decreased by $3 million, total liabilities decreased by $12 million and total equity increased by $9 million. The equity adjustment was net of tax of $3 million. The following tables compare impacted accounts from the reported condensed consolidated balance sheet and statement of operations, as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2018, to their pro forma amounts had the previous guidance been in effect: As of March 31, 2018 As Reported Adjustments Adoption of ASC 606 Pro forma as if the previous standard was in effect Assets Receivables, net $ 694 $ (27 ) $ 667 Inventories 242 9 251 Deferred income taxes 45 3 48 Liabilities Accrued liabilities $ 238 $ 8 $ 246 Equity Accumulated deficit $ (4 ) $ (7 ) $ (11 ) The difference between the reported balances and the pro forma balances above is due to the deferred revenue and inventory in the pro forma balances associated with completed production billed to the customer but not yet shipped, completed production held in inventory (including consigned inventory) and safety stock. Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 As Reported Adjustments Adoption of ASC 606 Pro forma as if the previous standard was in effect Net sales $ 929 $ 10 $ 939 Cost of sales 808 8 816 Income tax benefit (4 ) — (4 ) Net earnings per common share Basic net earnings per share $ (0.32 ) $ 0.06 $ (0.26) Diluted net earnings per share (0.32 ) 0.06 (0.26) The differences between the reported balances and the pro forma balances above are due to the following impacts: • The completed production items for which control has passed to the customer and the customer had requested to be billed (or for which the Company is entitled to bill under the contract), but for which the production items had not yet shipped. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue for items for which control has passed to the customer, which is typically once it completes production, while under previous guidance revenue would have been deferred until the production items were shipped. • Variable consideration relating to paper over-consumption penalties and under-consumption credits that are part of certain customer contracts and were previously recorded in cost of sales are now recorded within revenue. The adoption of ASC 606 had no impact on the Company’s cash flows from operating activities. Revenue Recognition Policy The Company recognizes revenue at a point in time for substantially all customized products. The point in time when revenue is recognized is when the upon shipment to the customer (dependent upon specific shipping terms). Under agreements with certain customers, custom products may be stored by the Company for future delivery. Based upon contractual terms, the Company is typically able to recognize revenue once the performance obligation is satisfied and the customer obtains control of the completed product, usually when it completes production (depending on the specific facts and circumstances). With certain customer contracts, the Company is permitted to complete a pre-defined amount of custom products and hold such inventory until the customer requests shipment (which generally is required to be delivered in the same year as production). For these items, which include consigned inventory, the Company has the contractual right to receive payment once the production is completed, regardless of the ultimate delivery date. Based upon contractual terms, the Company recognizes revenue once the performance obligation has been satisfied and the customer obtains control of the completed products, usually when production is completed. In very limited situations, the Company is permitted to produce and hold in inventory a pre-defined amount of custom products as safety stock. Similar to completed production held in inventory, for these items the Company has the contractual right to receive payment for the pre-defined amount once the production is completed, regardless of the ultimate delivery date. Based upon our evaluation of the contractual terms, the Company is able to recognize revenue once the performance obligation has been satisfied and the customer obtains control of the completed products, usually when production is completed. Revenue from the Company’s print related services (including list processing, mail sortation services and supply chain management) is recognized as services are completed over time. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services, which is based on transaction prices set forth in contracts with customers and an estimate of variable consideration, as applicable. Variable consideration results from volume rebates, fixed rebates, penalties or credits for paper consumption, and sales discounts that are offered within contracts between the Company and its customers and are recognized in the period the related revenue is recognized. Estimates of variable consideration are based on stated contract terms and an analysis of historical experience. The amount of variable consideration is included in the net sales price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur in a future period. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The majority of our contracts 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, not distinct. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, such as co-mail and catalog production, the transaction price allocated to each performance obligation is based on the price stated in the customer contract, which represents our best estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. Billings for shipping and handling costs are recorded gross. The Company made an accounting policy election under ASC 606 to account for shipping and handling after the customer obtains control of the good as fulfillment activities rather than as a separate service to the customer. As a result, the Company accrues the costs of the shipping and handling if revenue is recognized for the related good before the fulfillment activities occur. Many of the Company’s operations process materials, primarily paper, that may be supplied directly by customers or may be purchased by the Company and sold to customers as part of the end product. No revenue is recognized for customer-supplied paper, but revenues for Company-supplied paper are recognized on a gross basis. As a result, the Company’s reported sales and margins may be impacted by the mix of customer-supplied paper and Company-supplied paper. The Company records taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities on a net basis. Contracts do not contain a significant financing component as payment terms on invoiced amounts are typically between 30 to 120 days, based on the Company’s credit assessment of individual customers, as well as industry expectations. The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in accounts receivable and unbilled receivables (contract assets), and customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities) on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Revenue recognition generally coincides with the Company’s contractual right to consideration and the issuance of invoices to customers. Depending on the nature of the performance obligation and arrangements with customers, the timing of the issuance of invoices may result in contract assets or contract liabilities. Contract assets related to unbilled receivables are recognized for satisfied performance obligations for which the Company cannot yet issue an invoice. Contract liabilities result from advances or deposits from our customers on performance obligations not yet satisfied.

These charges primarily related to the closure of one facility in the Print segment and the reorganization of certain business units. As a result of a $1 million adjustment of previously recorded goodwill associated with the 2017 acquisitions, there was a reduction of $1 million of goodwill impairment charges during the three months ended March 31, 2018. Refer to Note 2, Business Combinations For the three months ended March 31, 2017, employee-related restructuring charges of $4 million related to an aggregate of 198 employees, substantially all of whom were terminated as of or prior to March 31, 2018. These charges primarily related to the reorganization of certain business units and corporate functions. Other Charges For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded a de minimis amount of other charges for multiemployer 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 multiemployer pension plans included $3 million in accrued liabilities and $19 million in restructuring and multiemployer pension liabilities at March 31, 2018. 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 multiemployer 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 balance sheets, statements of operations and cash flows. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recorded other charges of $1 million for multiemployer pension plan withdrawal obligations unrelated to facility closures. Restructuring Reserve The restructuring reserve as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, and changes during the three months ended March 31, 2018 were as follows: December 31, 2017 Restructuring Charges Other Cash Paid March 31, 2018 Employee terminations $ 8 $ 4 $ — $ (3 ) $ 9 Multiemployer pension plan withdrawal obligations 16 1 19 (1 ) 35 Other 2 2 — (2 ) 2 Total $ 26 $ 7 $ 19 $ (6 ) $ 46 The current portion of restructuring reserves of $17 million at March 31, 2018 was included in accrued liabilities, while the long-term portion of $29 million, which primarily related to multiemployer pension plan withdrawal obligations related to facility closures, was included in restructuring and multiemployer pension liabilities at March 31, 2018. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company reclassified $19 million of multiemployer pension plan withdrawal obligations from non-restructuring liabilities to restructuring liabilities, of which $3 million and $16 million were recorded in the current and long-term portions of the reserves, respectively. The reclassification was primarily due to a facility closure in the Print segment during the three months ended March 31, 2018. The Company anticipates that payments associated with the employee terminations reflected in the above table will be substantially completed by March 31, 2019. Payments on all of the Company’s multiemployer 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 multiemployer pension plan withdrawals. The restructuring liabilities classified as “other” consisted of other facility closing costs.

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Note 8. 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 eleven 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 balance sheets, statements 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 balance sheets, statements of operations and cash flows.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt	Note 9. Debt The Company’s debt at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 consisted of the following: March 31, 2018 December 31, 2017 Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility $ 130 $ 75 Term Loan Facility due September 30, 2022 (a) 294 306 8.75% Senior Secured Notes due October 15, 2023 450 450 Capital lease obligations 2 3 Unamortized debt issuance costs (11 ) (12 ) Total debt 865 822 Less: current portion (176 ) (123 ) Long-term debt $ 689 $ 699 (a) The borrowings under the Term Loan Facility are subject to a variable interest rate. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the interest rate was 7.38% and 7.07%, respectively. __________________________________ On September 30, 2016, the Company issued $450 million of Senior Secured Notes (the “Senior Notes”). On September 30, 2016 the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) that provides for (i) a senior secured term loan B facility in an aggregate principal amount of $375 million (the “Term Loan Facility”) and (ii) a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $400 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The debt issuance costs and original issue discount are being amortized over the life of the facilities using the effective interest method. The Credit Agreement is subject to a number of covenants, including, but not limited to, a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio and a 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. Term Loan Facility On November 17, 2017, the Company amended the Credit Agreement to reduce the interest rate for the Term Loan Facility by 50 basis points and the LIBOR “floor” was also reduced by 25 basis points. Other terms, including the outstanding principal, maturity date and debt covenants were not amended. Select terms on the Term Loan Facility before and after the amendment include: Before Amendment After Amendment Interest rate (Company's option) Base rate + 5.00%; or LIBOR + 6.00% Base rate + 4.50%; or LIBOR + 5.50% LIBOR floor 1.00% 0.75% Amortization $13 million, first eight quarters; $11 million quarterly thereafter (as of original effective date) $13 million, first eight quarters; $11 million quarterly thereafter (as of original effective date) Maturity September 30, 2022 September 30, 2022 Under the terms of the Term Loan Facility, each of the syndicated lenders is deemed to have loaned a specific amount to the Company and has the right to repayment from the Company directly. Therefore, we concluded that the Term Loan Facility is a loan syndication under U.S. GAAP. As such, in order to determine whether the debt was modified or extinguished as a result of the amendment, we examined the amount of principal pre- and post-amendment by individual lender. As a result, we determined that $65 million of outstanding principal had been extinguished as of November 17, 2017, even though the total outstanding principal amongst all lenders pre- and post-amendment remained unchanged. Consequently, the amendment resulted in a pre-tax loss on debt extinguishment of $3 million related to the unamortized discount and debt issuance costs attributable to the $65 million of outstanding principal that had been considered extinguished. There was no net impact as of November 17, 2017 to cash and cash equivalents, total outstanding principal remained unchanged, and no cash was exchanged between the lenders and the Company (other than customary administrative fees). 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. Additional Debt Issuances Information The fair values of the Senior Notes and Term Loan Facility that 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 $16 million and $20 million at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. There were $130 million and $75 million of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate on borrowings under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility was 4.73% during the three months ended March 31, 2018. There were $20 million and $17 million of net interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Earnings Per Share During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, no shares of common stock were purchased by the Company, however, a de minimis amount of shares were withheld from employees for tax liabilities upon vesting of equity awards. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to the Company’s stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. In computing diluted EPS, basic EPS is adjusted for the assumed issuance of all potentially dilutive share-based awards, including stock options, restricted stock, RSUs, and PSUs.

Accounting Changes And Error Corrections [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements	Note 17. New Accounting Pronouncements 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. In January 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-01 “Leases (Topic 842): Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842” (“ASU 2018-01”). The amendments in ASU 2018-01 permit an entity to elect an optional transition practical expedient to not evaluate under Topic 842 land easements that exist or expired before the entity’s adoption of Topic 842 and that were not previously accounted for as leases under Topic 840. An entity that does not elect this practical expedient should evaluate all existing or expired land easements in connection with the adoption of the new lease requirements in Topic 842 to assess whether they meet the definition of a lease. The Company plans to elect the optional transition practical expedient. The standard 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 currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of ASU 2016-02

Revenue Recognition (Policies)

Revenue Recognition (Policies)	3 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Revenue Recognition Policy	Revenue Recognition Policy The Company recognizes revenue at a point in time for substantially all customized products. The point in time when revenue is recognized is when the upon shipment to the customer (dependent upon specific shipping terms). Under agreements with certain customers, custom products may be stored by the Company for future delivery. Based upon contractual terms, the Company is typically able to recognize revenue once the performance obligation is satisfied and the customer obtains control of the completed product, usually when it completes production (depending on the specific facts and circumstances). With certain customer contracts, the Company is permitted to complete a pre-defined amount of custom products and hold such inventory until the customer requests shipment (which generally is required to be delivered in the same year as production). For these items, which include consigned inventory, the Company has the contractual right to receive payment once the production is completed, regardless of the ultimate delivery date. Based upon contractual terms, the Company recognizes revenue once the performance obligation has been satisfied and the customer obtains control of the completed products, usually when production is completed. In very limited situations, the Company is permitted to produce and hold in inventory a pre-defined amount of custom products as safety stock. Similar to completed production held in inventory, for these items the Company has the contractual right to receive payment for the pre-defined amount once the production is completed, regardless of the ultimate delivery date. Based upon our evaluation of the contractual terms, the Company is able to recognize revenue once the performance obligation has been satisfied and the customer obtains control of the completed products, usually when production is completed. Revenue from the Company’s print related services (including list processing, mail sortation services and supply chain management) is recognized as services are completed over time. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services, which is based on transaction prices set forth in contracts with customers and an estimate of variable consideration, as applicable. Variable consideration results from volume rebates, fixed rebates, penalties or credits for paper consumption, and sales discounts that are offered within contracts between the Company and its customers and are recognized in the period the related revenue is recognized. Estimates of variable consideration are based on stated contract terms and an analysis of historical experience. The amount of variable consideration is included in the net sales price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur in a future period. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The majority of our contracts 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, not distinct. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, such as co-mail and catalog production, the transaction price allocated to each performance obligation is based on the price stated in the customer contract, which represents our best estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. Billings for shipping and handling costs are recorded gross. The Company made an accounting policy election under ASC 606 to account for shipping and handling after the customer obtains control of the good as fulfillment activities rather than as a separate service to the customer. As a result, the Company accrues the costs of the shipping and handling if revenue is recognized for the related good before the fulfillment activities occur. Many of the Company’s operations process materials, primarily paper, that may be supplied directly by customers or may be purchased by the Company and sold to customers as part of the end product. No revenue is recognized for customer-supplied paper, but revenues for Company-supplied paper are recognized on a gross basis. As a result, the Company’s reported sales and margins may be impacted by the mix of customer-supplied paper and Company-supplied paper. The Company records taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities on a net basis. Contracts do not contain a significant financing component as payment terms on invoiced amounts are typically between 30 to 120 days, based on the Company’s credit assessment of individual customers, as well as industry expectations. The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in accounts receivable and unbilled receivables (contract assets), and customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities) on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Revenue recognition generally coincides with the Company’s contractual right to consideration and the issuance of invoices to customers. Depending on the nature of the performance obligation and arrangements with customers, the timing of the issuance of invoices may result in contract assets or contract liabilities. Contract assets related to unbilled receivables are recognized for satisfied performance obligations for which the Company cannot yet issue an invoice. Contract liabilities result from advances or deposits from our customers on performance obligations not yet satisfied. Because the majority of the Company’s products are customized, product returns are not significant; however, the Company accrues for the estimated amount of customer returns at the time of sale.
