Accounting Policies [Abstract]
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. . Merger Agreement On October 30, 2018, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Quad/Graphics, Inc. (“Quad/Graphics”), and QLC Merger Sub, Inc., a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Quad/Graphics (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, will be converted into the right to receive 0.625 shares of class A common stock of Quad/Graphics, without interest and subject to adjustment as provided in the Merger Agreement. The Company and Quad/Graphics have made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement. Subject to certain exceptions outlined in the Merger Agreement, the Company has agreed to covenants relating to the Company’s business during the period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Merger, including restrictions on its ability to issue any shares of its capital stock, repurchase any shares of its capital stock and incurring additional indebtedness outside the ordinary course of business. The Merger Agreement allows the Company to continue paying a regular quarterly dividend up to $0.26 per share. On October 30, 2018, concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company and the trustees (the “Trustees”) under the Amended and Restated Voting Trust Agreement, dated as of June 25, 2010, pursuant to which certain shares of capital stock of Quad/Graphics are held by the Quad/Graphics, Inc. Voting Trust (the “Voting Trust”), entered into a voting and support agreement (the “Voting Agreement”). Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, the Trustees will vote all of the shares of Quad/Graphics held by the Voting Trust, which they have, directly or indirectly, the right to vote or direct the voting thereof, in favor of the issuance of class A shares of Quad/Graphics common stock in the Merger, and against any alternative acquisition proposal involving Quad/Graphics or other action that would reasonably be expected to breach the obligations of Quad/Graphics under the Merger Agreement or the Trustees under the Voting Agreement, or otherwise reasonably be expected to delay or adversely affect the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Company and Quad/Graphics filed notification and report forms in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”) on November 13, 2018. On December 13, 2018, the Company and Quad/Graphics each received a request for additional information and documentary material (the “Second Request”) from the DOJ in connection with the DOJ’s review of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Issuance of the Second Request extends the waiting period under the HSR Act until 30 days after both the Company and Quad/Graphics have substantially complied with the Second Request or such later time as the parties may agree with the DOJ, unless the waiting period is terminated earlier by the DOJ. The Company continues to expect the Merger to be consummated in mid-2019. Consummation of the Merger remains subject to the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the Company stockholders, the approval by Quad/Graphics shareholders of the issuance of Quad/Graphics shares as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the expiration of the waiting period under the HSR Act and other required regulatory approvals, and the satisfaction or waiver of the other closing conditions specified in the Merger Agreement. Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated and combined financial statements reflect the consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations of the Company as an independent, publicly traded company for the periods after the separation, and the combined statements of operations of the Company as a combined reporting entity of RRD for the periods prior to the separation. The consolidated and combined 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. During the third quarter of 2018, management changed the Company’s reportable segments and reporting units and restated prior year amounts to conform to the new segment structure. Refer to Note 18, Segment Information 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. Refer to Note 4, Revenue Recognition , for more information. The Company retrospectively adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-07 “Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost” (“ASU 2017-07”) in the first quarter of 2018. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2017-07, the Company reclassified $46 million and $45 million related to the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, of net pension income from selling, general and administrative expenses to investment and other income-net, resulting in no impact to net income. The Company retrospectively adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-18 “Statements of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash” (“ASU 2016-18”) in the first quarter of 2018. The standard requires 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 the consolidated and combined statements of cash flows to the consolidated balance sheets. Prior to the Separation The combined financial statements were prepared on a stand-alone basis and were derived from RRD’s consolidated financial statements and accounting records. They include expenses of RRD that 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 intracompany transactions between LSC Communications, RRD and Donnelley Financial are considered to be effectively settled in the 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 combined statements of cash flows as a financing activity. Net parent company investment was primarily impacted by contributions from RRD which were the result of treasury activities and net funding provided by or distributed to RRD. In connection with the separation, the net parent investment balance was transferred to additional paid-in-capital on October 1, 2016 and is reflected in the consolidated and combined statements of equity.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies	Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies Use of Estimates —The preparation of the consolidated and combined financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires the extensive use of management’s estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for items and matters including, but not limited to, allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, inventory obsolescence, asset valuations and useful lives, employee benefits, self-insurance reserves, taxes, restructuring and other provisions and contingencies. Foreign Operations —Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates existing at the respective balance sheet dates. Income and expense items are translated at the average rates during the respective periods. Translation adjustments resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates are recorded as a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) while transaction gains and losses are recorded in net earnings. Fair Value Measurements— Certain assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The Company records the fair value of its pension plan assets on a recurring basis. Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include long-lived assets held and used, long-lived assets held for sale, goodwill and other intangible assets. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term debt and accounts payable approximate their carrying values. The three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes valuation methodologies based on the reliability of the inputs, is: Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets. Level 2 —Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 —Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. Revenue Recognition — As explained in Note 1, Overview and Basis of Presentation , the Company adopted ASC 606, 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 previous guidance. 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 performance obligation has been completed and the customer obtains control of the products, which is generally 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). In these situations, the Company may also receive a logistics or warehouse management fee for the services it provides, which the Company recognizes over time as the services are provided. 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 product, 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 the Company expects 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 resulting 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 is 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 the Company’s 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 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 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. Refer to Note 4, Revenue Recognition . By-product recoveries —The Company records the sale of by-products as a reduction of cost of sales. Cash and cash equivalents —The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Short-term securities consist of investment grade instruments of governments, financial institutions and corporations. Receivables— Receivables are stated net of allowances for doubtful accounts and primarily include trade receivables, notes receivable and miscellaneous receivables from suppliers. No single customer comprised more than 10% of our net sales in 2018, 2017 or 2016. Specific customer provisions are made when a review of significant outstanding amounts, utilizing information about customer creditworthiness and current economic trends, indicates that collection is doubtful. In addition, provisions are made at differing rates, based upon the age of the receivable and the Company’s historical collection experience. Refer to Note 5, for details of activity affecting the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable. Inventories —Inventories include material, labor and factory overhead and are stated at the lower of cost or market and net of excess and obsolescence reserves for raw materials and finished goods. Provisions for excess and obsolete inventories are made at differing rates, utilizing historical data and current economic trends, based upon the age and type of the inventory. Specific excess and obsolescence provisions are also made when a review of specific balances indicates that the inventories will not be utilized in production or sold. The cost of 63.0% and 63.9% of the inventories at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, has been determined using the Last-In, First-Out (“LIFO”) method. The LIFO method is intended to reflect the effect of inventory replacement costs within the consolidated and combined statements of operations; accordingly, charges to cost of sales generally reflect recent costs of material, labor and factory overhead. The Company uses an external-index method of valuing LIFO inventories. The remaining inventories, primarily related to certain acquired and international operations, are valued using the First-In, First-Out (“FIFO”) or specific identification methods. Long-Lived Assets —The Company assesses potential impairments to its long-lived assets if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. An impaired asset is written down to its estimated fair value based upon the most recent information available. Estimated fair market value is generally measured by discounting estimated future cash flows. Long-lived assets, other than goodwill and other intangible assets, that are held for sale, are recorded at the lower of the carrying value or the fair market value less the estimated cost to sell. Property, plant and equipment —Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Useful lives range from 15 to 40 years for buildings, the lesser of 7 years or the lease term for leasehold improvements and from 3 to 15 years for machinery and equipment. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred. Major overhauls that extend the useful lives of existing assets are capitalized. When properties are retired or disposed, the costs and accumulated depreciation are eliminated and the resulting profit or loss is recognized in the results of operations. Goodwill —Goodwill is assigned to a specific reporting unit, depending on the nature of the acquired company. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually as of October 31 or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is below its carrying value. For certain reporting units, the Company may perform a qualitative, rather than quantitative, assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. In performing this qualitative analysis, the Company considers various factors, including the excess of prior year estimates of fair value compared to carrying value, the effect of market or industry changes and the reporting unit’s actual results compared to projected results. Based on this qualitative analysis, if management determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying value, no further impairment testing is performed. For the remaining reporting units, the Company compares each reporting unit’s fair value, estimated based on comparable company market valuations and expected future discounted cash flows to be generated by the reporting unit, to its carrying value. As a result of the Company’s early adoption of ASU 2017-04 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)” during the third quarter of 2017, if the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, the Company recognizes an impairment charge equal to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value not to exceed the total amount of goodwill recorded. Refer to Note 9, Restructuring, Impairment and Other Charges, Amortization —Certain costs to acquire and develop internal-use computer software are capitalized and amortized over their estimated useful life using the straight-line method, up to a maximum of 3 years. Amortization expense, primarily related to internally-developed software and excluding amortization expense related to other intangible assets, was $9 million, $5 million and $5 million for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Deferred debt issuance costs are amortized over the term of the related debt. Other intangible assets, except for those intangible assets with indefinite lives, are recognized separately from goodwill and are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Other intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized. Refer to Note 8 , Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, Share-Based Compensation — The Company recognizes compensation expense for share-based awards expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award based on their grant date fair value. Prior to the separation, RRD maintained an incentive share-based compensation program for certain individuals, including certain LSC Communications employees. The share-based compensation expense was allocated to the Company based on the awards and terms previously granted to the Company’s employees, as well as an allocation of expense related to RRD’s corporate and shared functional employees. Refer to Note 17, for further discussion. Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits Plans — At the separation date, the Company recorded net benefit obligations transferred from RRD. T he Company records annual income and expense amounts relating to its pension plans based on calculations that include various actuarial assumptions, including discount rates, mortality, assumed rates of return, compensation increases, and turnover rates. The Company reviews its actuarial assumptions on an annual basis and makes modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends when it is deemed appropriate to do so. The effect of modifications on the value of plan obligations and assets is recognized immediately within other comprehensive income (loss) and amortized into operating earnings over future periods. The Company believes that the assumptions utilized in recording its obligations under its plans are reasonable based on its experience, market conditions and input from its actuaries and investment advisors. Refer to Note 14, Retirement Plans , for information on a partial settlement completed by the Company in the first quarter of 2019. Prior to the separation, certain employees of the Company participated in various pension and postretirement health care plans sponsored by RRD. In the Company’s combined financial statements, these plans were accounted for as multiemployer benefit plans and no net liabilities were reflected in the Company’s combined balance sheets as there were no unfunded contributions due at the end of any reporting period. The Company’s statements of operations included expense allocations for these benefits. These expenses were funded through intercompany transactions with RRD and were reflected within net parent company investment in LSC Communications. Certain plans in LSC Communications’ Mexico and U.S. operations were direct obligations of LSC Communications and were recorded in the combined financial statements. Refer to Note 14, Retirement Plans , for further discussion. Taxes on Income —The Company has recorded deferred tax assets related to future deductible items, including domestic and foreign tax loss and credit carryforwards. The Company evaluates these deferred tax assets by tax jurisdiction. The utilization of these tax assets is limited by the amount of taxable income expected to be generated within the allowable carryforward period and other factors. Accordingly, management has provided a valuation allowance to reduce certain of these deferred tax assets when management has concluded that, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be fully realized. If actual results differ from these estimates, or the estimates are adjusted in future periods, adjustments to the valuation allowance might need to be recorded. Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes and related accruals, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. In the ordinary course of business, there are transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain. Additionally, the Company’s tax returns are subject to audit by various U.S. and foreign tax authorities. The Company recognizes a tax position in its financial statements when it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. This recognized tax position is then measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Although management believes that its estimates are reasonable, the final outcome of uncertain tax positions may be materially different from that which is reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company classifies interest expense and any related penalties related to income tax uncertainties as a component of income tax expense. , Income Taxes, Prior to the separation, in the Company’s combined financial statements, income tax expense and deferred tax balances were calculated on a separate return basis, although with respect to certain entities, the Company’s operations were historically included in the tax returns filed by the respective RRD entities of which the Company’s business was formerly a part. For periods after the separation, the Company has and will continue to file tax returns on its own behalf. The provision for income tax and income tax balances after the separation represent the Company's tax liabilities as an independent company. Comprehensive Income (Loss) —Comprehensive income (loss) for the Company consists of net earnings, unrecognized actuarial gains and losses and foreign currency translation adjustments. Refer to Note 16 for further discussion.

Refer below for a summary of the segments and reporting units where the acquisitions are included as of December 31, 2018. Segment Reporting Unit Print Logistics Magazines, Catalogs and Logistics Logistics Clark Group Magazines, Catalogs and Logistics Logistics Quality Park Office Products Office Products Publishers Press Magazines, Catalogs and Logistics Magazines and Catalogs NECI Office Products Office Products CREEL Magazines, Catalogs and Logistics Magazines and Catalogs Fairrington Magazines, Catalogs and Logistics Logistics HudsonYards Magazines, Catalogs and Logistics Magazines and Catalogs 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 tax deductible goodwill related to the Print Logistics, Clark Group, Quality Park, Publishers Press, NECI, CREEL, Fairrington, and HudsonYards acquisitions was $63 million. The purchase price allocations for As previously mentioned, there was a $6 million net working capital settlement related to Print Logistics in the fourth quarter of 2018 The purchase price allocations for several of the acquisitions noted above were as follows: Print Logistics Clark Group Quality Park Publishers Press CREEL Fairrington Accounts Receivable $ 40 $ 6 $ 19 $ 27 $ 12 $ 6 Inventories — — 27 13 5 — Prepaid expenses and other current assets 1 — 1 1 1 — Property, plant and equipment 8 — 8 36 20 6 Other intangible assets 17 14 1 — 23 17 Other noncurrent assets — — — 1 — 1 Goodwill (bargain purchase) 21 16 (2 ) 1 26 22 Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (35 ) (8 ) (11 ) (14 ) (9 ) (4 ) Deferred taxes - net — (3 ) (2 ) — — (9 ) Purchase price, net of cash acquired $ 52 $ 25 $ 41 $ 65 $ 78 $ 39 Less: value of common stock issued — — — — — 20 Less: accrued but unpaid contingent consideration — — — — 1 — Net cash paid $ 52 $ 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 Company’s former 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 former 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, As a result of the Company’s change in reportable segments and reporting units during the third quarter of 2018, as discussed in Note 18, Segment Information Three Months Ended Year Ended September 30, 2017 December 31, 2017 Magazines and Catalogs $ 28 $ 30 Logistics 22 38 Other 5 5 Total $ 55 $ 73 The Company performed its annual goodwill tests in the fourth quarter of 2018 based on the new reporting unit structure. 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.

Revenue From Contract With Customer [Abstract]
Revenue Recognition	Note 4. Revenue Recognition Financial Statement Impact of Adopting ASC 606 As part of the adoption of ASC 606, t he 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 is 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 consolidated balance sheet and statement of operations, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 December 31, 2018 Adjustments As if the Adoption of previous standard As Reported ASC 606 was in effect Assets Receivables, net $ 617 $ (44 ) $ 573 Inventories 197 39 236 Deferred income taxes 27 4 31 Liabilities Accounts payable $ 372 $ (1 ) $ 371 Accrued liabilities 199 12 211 Equity Accumulated deficit $ (42 ) $ (12 ) $ (54 ) 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. Year Ended December 31, 2018 Adjustments As if the from previous Adoption of standard As Reported ASC 606 was in effect Net sales $ 3,826 $ (8 ) $ 3,818 Cost of sales 3,283 (4 ) 3,279 Income tax expense (benefit) 33 (1 ) 32 Net (loss) per common share Basic net (loss) per share $ (0.67 ) $ (0.09 ) $ (0.76 ) Diluted net (loss) per share (0.67 ) (0.09 ) (0.76 ) 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 produced 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. Disaggregated Revenue The following table provides information about disaggregated revenue by major products/service lines and timing of revenue recognition, and includes a reconciliation of the disaggregated revenue with reportable segments.

Contract Acquisition Costs In connection with the adoption of ASC 606, the Company is required to capitalize certain contract acquisition costs. As of December 31, 2017 under previous guidance, the Company had capitalized $36 million in contract acquisition costs related to contracts that were not completed. The Company did not have any other costs that were required to be capitalized on January 1, 2018 with the adoption of ASC 606. For contracts that have a duration of less than one year, the Company follows the ASC 606 practical expedient approach and expenses these costs when incurred; for contracts with life exceeding one year, the Company records these costs in proportion to each completed contract performance obligation. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the amount of amortization was $11 million and there was no impairment loss in relation to costs capitalized.

The Company also incurred other restructuring charges of $14 million primarily due to charges related to facility costs, a loss related to the Company's disposition of its retail offset printing facilities and pension withdrawal obligations related to facility closures. Impairment Charges For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded the following net impairment charges, which are explained further below: Property, Plant Other Intangible and Equipment Assets Goodwill Total Magazines, Catalogs and Logistics $ 3 $ — $ (1 ) $ 2 Office Products — 3 — 3 Total $ 3 $ 3 $ (1 ) $ 5 Property, Plant and Equipment The net charges of $3 million primarily related to machinery and equipment associated with facility closings in the Magazines, Catalogs and Logistics segment. Other Intangible Assets – Indefinite-Lived Tradenames The Company recorded charges of $3 million for the impairment of certain acquired indefinite-lived tradenames intangible assets in the Office Products segment. The impairment of the indefinite-lived tradenames intangible assets resulted from negative revenue trends experienced in recent years and lower expectations of future revenue to be derived from those tradenames. The impairment was determined using Level 3 inputs and estimated based on cash flow analyses, which included management’s assumptions related to future revenues and profitability. After recording the impairment charges, remaining indefinite-lived tradenames in the Office Products segment is $21 million. Goodwill The year ended December 31, 2018 included a reduction of $1 million of goodwill impairment charges as a result of a $1 million adjustment of previously recorded goodwill associated with the 2017 acquisitions. Fair Value Measurements The fair value as of the measurement date, net book value as of the end of the year and related impairment charge for assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis subsequent to initial recognition during the year ended December 31, 2018 is disclosed below.

The total liability for the withdrawal obligations associated with the Company’s decision to withdraw from certain multiemployer pension plans included in accrued liabilities and restructuring and multiemployer pension plan liabilities Retirement Plans 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 consolidated statements of operations, balance sheets and cash flows.

These charges primarily related to three facility closures in the Book segment, one facility closure in the Magazines, Catalogs and Logistics segment and the reorganization of certain business units. The Company also incurred other restructuring charges of $24 million primarily related to the exit from certain operations and facilities, as well as charges as a result of a terminated supplier contact. Impairment Charges For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded the following net impairment charges, which are explained further below: Other Property, Plant Intangible and Equipment Assets Goodwill Total Magazines, Catalogs and Logistics $ 7 — $ 68 $ 75 Book — 5 — 5 Office Products — 3 — 3 Other — — 5 5 Total $ 7 $ 8 $ 73 $ 88 Property, Plant and Equipment The net charges of $7 million primarily related to impairment of machinery and equipment in the Company’s magazines and catalogs reporting unit, which is included in the Magazines, Catalogs and Logistics segment, resulting from general volume declines. Other Intangible Assets - Indefinite-Lived Tradenames The Company also recorded charges of $8 million for the impairment of certain acquired indefinite-lived tradename intangible assets, including $3 million in the Office Products segment and $5 million in the Book segment. The impairment of the indefinite-lived tradename intangible assets resulted from negative revenue trends experienced in recent years and lower expectations of future revenue to be derived from those tradenames. The impairment was determined using Level 3 inputs and estimated based on cash flow analyses, which included management’s assumptions related to future revenues and profitability. After recording the impairment charges, remaining indefinite-lived tradenames in the Office Products and Book segments were $23 million and $1 million, respectively. Goodwill With respect to the goodwill impairment charges, as explained in Note 3, Business Combinations and Disposition Business Combinations In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other Prior to the acquisitions completed within the last twelve months, the former magazines, catalogs and retail inserts reporting unit had zero goodwill recorded, as goodwill associated with this reporting unit had been fully impaired in prior years. Given the historical valuations of the former magazines, catalogs and retail inserts reporting unit that have resulted in goodwill impairment in prior years, combined with the change in the composition of the carrying value of the former reporting unit due to the acquisitions completed as of September 30, 2017, the Company determined it necessary to perform an interim goodwill impairment review on this former reporting unit as of September 30, 2017. As a result of the interim goodwill impairment test, and consistent with prior goodwill impairment tests, the former 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. As such, the Company recorded charges of $55 million to recognize the impairment of goodwill in this former reporting unit as of September 30, 2017. The goodwill impairment charges were determined using Level 3 inputs, including discounted cash flow analyses, comparable marketplace fair value data and management’s assumptions. For the quarter ended December 31, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of the Clark Group that became part of the former magazines, catalogs and retail inserts reporting unit. Given the amount by which the carrying amount of the former reporting unit exceeded its fair value in the goodwill impairment test performed as of September 30, 2017, combined with the fact that management’s assessment of the fair value did not materially change since that date, an additional goodwill impairment charge of $18 million was recorded in the period ended December 31, 2017, which represents all of the goodwill arising from the Clark Group acquisition and additional amounts related to acquisitions completed during the quarter ended September 30, 2017. The total charge to recognize the impairment of goodwill in the former magazines, catalogs and retail inserts reporting unit was $73 million for 2017, resulting in zero goodwill associated with former the magazines, catalogs and retail inserts reporting unit as of December 31, 2017. Refer to Note 3, Business Combinations and Disposition Fair Value Measurement The fair value as of the measurement date, net book value as of the end of the year and related impairment charge for assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis subsequent to initial recognition during the year ended December 31, 2017 is disclosed below.

These charges primarily related to one facility closure in the Other grouping, the expected closure of another facility in the first quarter of 2017 in the Magazines, Catalogs and Logistics segment and the reorganization of certain operations. Additionally, the Company recorded lease termination and other restructuring charges of $7 million. The fair values of the buildings and machinery and equipment were determined to be Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy and were estimated based on discussions with real estate brokers, review of comparable properties, if available, discussions with machinery and equipment brokers, dealer quotes and internal expertise related to the current marketplace conditions. Other Charges For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company recorded other charges of $3 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 restructuring and multiemployer pension plan liabilities are $6 million and $39 million, respectively, at December 31, 2016.

The reclassification was primarily due to facility closures in the Magazines, Catalogs and Logistics and Book segments 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 December 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. Refer to Note 14 , Retirement Plans, The restructuring liabilities classified as “other” primarily consisted of other facility closing costs. The restructuring reserve as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and changes during the year ended December 31, 2017, were as follows: December 31, Restructuring Cash December 31, 2016 Charges Paid 2017 Employee terminations $ 8 $ 13 $ (13 ) $ 8 Multiemployer pension plan withdrawal obligations 18 1 (3 ) 16 Other 2 18 (18 ) 2 Total $ 28 $ 32 $ (34 ) $ 26 The current portion of restructuring reserves of $14 million at December 31, 2017 was included in accrued liabilities, while the long-term portion of $12 million, which primarily related to multi-employer pension plan withdrawal obligations related to facility closures and lease termination costs, was included in restructuring and multiemployer pension plan liabilities at December 31, 2017.

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies As of December 31, 2018, the Company had commitments of $8 million for severance payments related to employee restructuring activities. In addition, as of December 31, 2018, the Company had commitments of approximately $35 million for the purchase of property, plant and equipment related to incomplete projects. The Company also has contractual commitments of approximately $28 million for outsourced services, including professional, maintenance and other services. Future minimum rental commitments under operating leases are as follows: Year Ended December 31 Amount 2019 $ 88 2020 60 2021 50 2022 37 2023 22 2024 and thereafter 50 Total $ 307 The Company has operating lease commitments, including those for vacated facilities, totaling $307 million and extending through various periods to 2028. There are minimum non-cancelable sublease rentals aggregating approximately $17 million related to the operating leases. The Company remains secondarily liable under these leases in the event that the sub-lessee defaults under the sublease terms. The Company does not believe that material payments will be required as a result of the secondary liability provisions of the primary lease agreements. Rent expense for facilities in use and equipment was $58 million, $46 million and $39 million for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Litigation 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 active federal and state Superfund and other multiparty remediation sites. In addition to these sites, the Company may also have the obligation to remediate three 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 consolidated statements of operations, balance sheets 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 consolidated statements of operations, balance sheets and cash flows. Merger Litigation Three substantially similar actions have been filed by an alleged LSC stockholder against some or all of LSC, the directors of LSC, Quad/Graphics and merger sub.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt	Note 12. Debt The Company’s debt at December 31, 2018 and 2017 consisted of the following: 2018 2017 Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility (a) $ 64 $ 75 Term Loan Facility due September 30, 2022 (b) 260 306 8.75% Senior Secured Notes due October 15, 2023 450 450 Capital lease and other obligations 4 3 Unamortized debt issuance costs (11 ) (12 ) Total debt 767 822 Less: current portion (108 ) (123 ) Long-term debt $ 659 $ 699 (a) The weighted-average interest rate on borrowings under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility was 5.19% and 4.47% during the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. (b) The borrowings under the Term Loan Facility are subject to a variable interest rate. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the interest rate was 8.02% 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 the aggregate, though additional dividends may be allowed subject to certain conditions. Each of these covenants is subject to important exceptions and qualifications. On December 20, 2018, the Company amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, defer certain changes of the minimum Interest Coverage Ratio and the maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio. As a result, the maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio will be reduced to 3.00 to 1.00 with respect to any fiscal quarter ending on or after March 31, 2020, as opposed to March 31, 2019, as originally contemplated in the Credit Agreement. The minimum Interest Coverage Ratio will be increased to 3.50 to 1.00 with respect to any test period ending on or after March 31, 2020, as opposed to March 31, 2019, as originally contemplated in the Credit Agreement. Other terms, including the outstanding principal, maturity date and other debt covenants remain the same. 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 of 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 for the Term Loan Facility the full amount of required amortization payments, $50 million, for the year ended December 31, 2017. 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 $22 million and $20 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had $51 million in outstanding letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2018, the Company also had $6 million in other uncommitted credit facilities, all of which were outside the U.S. (the “Other Facilities”). As of December 31, 2018, letters of credit and guarantees of $2 million were issued and reduced availability under the Other Facilities. As of December 31, 2018, there were $66 million of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Other Facilities (the “Combined Facilities”). At December 31, 2018, the future maturities of debt, including capitalized leases, were as follows: Amount 2019 $ 110 2020 43 2021 43 2022 136 2023 450 2024 and thereafter — Total (a ) $ 782 (a) Excludes unamortized debt issuance costs of $4 million and $6 million related to the Company’s Term Loan Facility and 8.75% Senior Notes due October 15, 2023, respectively, and a discount of $5 million related to the Company’s Term Loan Facility.

Earnings Per Share	Note 13. Earnings Per Share On May 31, 2018, the Company completed the repurchase approved by the Board of Directors of 1.6 million shares of common stock for a total cost of $20 million. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company issued approximately 1.0 million shares of common stock in conjunction with the Fairrington acquisition and did not purchase shares of common stock. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, 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. The computations of basic and diluted EPS for periods prior to the separation were calculated using the shares distributed and retained by RRD on October 1, 2016. The same number of shares was used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share since there were no LSC Communications equity awards outstanding prior to the separation. The following table shows the calculation of basic and diluted EPS, as well as a reconciliation of basic shares to diluted shares: 2018 2017 2016 Net (loss) earnings per common share: Basic $ (0.67 ) $ (1.69 ) $ 3.25 Diluted $ (0.67 ) $ (1.69 ) $ 3.23 Dividends declared per common share $ 1.04 $ 1.00 $ 0.25 Numerator: Net (loss) income $ (23 ) $ (57 ) $ 106 Denominator: Weighted average number of common shares outstanding 33.8 33.8 32.5 Dilutive options and awards — — 0.3 Diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding 33.8 33.8 32.8

Retirement Plans	Note 14. Retirement Plans Defined Benefits Overview The Company is the sole sponsor of certain defined benefit pension plans that are included in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017. The Company’s primary single employer defined benefit pension plans are frozen. No new employees will be permitted to enter these plans and participants will earn no additional benefits. The assets and certain obligations of the defined benefit pension plans includes plans qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Qualified Plan”) and related non-qualified benefits (the “Non-Qualified Plan”). The Qualified Plan will be funded in conformity with the applicable government regulations, such that the Company from time to time contributes at least the minimum amount required using actuarial cost methods and assumptions acceptable under government regulations. The Non-Qualified Plan is unfunded, and the Company pays retiree benefits as they become due. The Company engages outside actuaries to assist in the determination of the obligations and costs under these plans. The Company records annual income and expense amounts relating to its pension plans based on calculations that include various actuarial assumptions such as discount rates, mortality, assumed rate of return, compensation increases, and turnover rates. The Company reviews its actuarial assumptions on an annual basis and makes modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends when it is deemed appropriate to do so. The effect of modifications on the value of plan obligations and assets is recognized immediately within other comprehensive income (loss) and amortized into investment and other (income)-net over future periods. The Company believes that the assumptions utilized in recording its obligations under its plans are reasonable based on its experience, market conditions and input from its actuaries and investment advisors. The benefit plan obligations are calculated using generally accepted actuarial methods and are measured as of December 31. Prior to the plan freezes, actuarial gains and losses were amortized using the corridor method over the average remaining service life of active plan participants. Actuarial gains and losses for frozen plans are amortized using the corridor method over the average remaining expected life of active plan participants. In the first quarter of 2019, the Company completed a partial settlement of its retirement benefit obligations by purchasing a group annuity contract for certain retirees and beneficiaries from a third-party insurance company. As a result, the Company’s pension assets and liabilities are required to be remeasured as of the settlement date. As of the remeasurement date, the reduction in the reported pension obligation for the participants under the annuity contract was approximately $477 million, and the reduction in plan assets was approximately $466 million. The Company expects to record a non-cash settlement charge in the range of approximately $130 million to $140 million in the first quarter of 2019. This charge results from the recognition in earnings of a portion of the actuarial losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss based on the proportion of the obligation settled. The settlement accounting is expected be completed in the first quarter of 2019. In 2019, the Company expects annual non-cash net pension income to decrease by approximately $13 million to $35 million, due to the reduction in pension trust assets related to the transaction combined with a lower expected return on plan assets due to a change in asset allocation as part of the Company’s pension de-risking strategy. The Company recorded non-cash settlement charges of $1 million in selling, general and administrative expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2016 in connection with settlement payments from an early buyout of certain former employees related to the 2014 acquisition of Esselte Corporation. These charges resulted from the recognition in earnings of a portion of the actuarial losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss based on the proportion of the obligation settled. 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 of RRD. 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 asset of $7 million as of October 1, 2016. Prior to the separation, for RRD sponsored defined benefit and post-employment plans, the Company recorded net pension and postretirement income of $28 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This amount is reflected all in investment and other (income)-net in the consolidated and combined statements of operations. The Company made contributions totaling $6 million to its pension plans during the year ended December 31, 2018. Based on the plans’ regulatory funded status, there are no required contributions for the Company’s U.S. Qualified Plan in 2019. The required contributions in 2019, primarily for the Non-Qualified Plan, are expected to be approximately $6 million to its pension plans.

Unrecognized prior service costs or credits are also recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost over the average remaining service period of a plan’s active employees. The amounts in accumulated other comprehensive loss that are expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit costs in 2019 are shown below. They are based on balances as of December 31, 2018 and do not include the impact of the partial settlement.

Benefit payments are expected to be paid as follows: Non- Qualified Qualified & International Total 2019 $ 130 $ 5 $ 135 2020 134 6 140 2021 136 6 142 2022 141 6 147 2023 144 6 150 2024-2028 743 30 773 Defined Benefit Plans - Plan Assets The Company’s overall investment approach for its U.S. Qualified Plan is to reduce the risk of significant decreases in the plan’s funded status by allocating a larger portion of the plan’s assets to investments expected to hedge the impact of interest rate risks on the plan’s obligation. Over time, the target asset allocation percentage for the pension plan is expected to decrease for equity and other “return seeking” investments and increase for fixed income and other “hedging” investments. The assumed long-term rate of return for plan assets, which is determined annually, is likely to decrease as the asset allocation shifts over time. The expected long-term rate of return for plan assets is based upon many factors including asset allocation, historical asset returns, current and expected future market conditions, risk and active management premiums. The target asset allocation percentage as of December 31, 2018 for the U.S. Qualified Plan was approximately 40.0% for return seeking investments and approximately 60.0% for hedging investments. Management reviews the performance of its investments on a quarterly basis. The Company segregated its plan assets by the following major categories and levels for determining their fair value as of December 31, 2018 and 2017: Cash and cash equivalents —Carrying value approximates fair value. As such, these assets were classified as Level 1. The Company also invests in certain short-term investments that are valued using the amortized cost method. As such, these assets were classified as Level 2. Equity— The value of individual equity securities was based on quoted prices in active markets. As such, these assets are classified as Level 1. Fixed income— Fixed income securities are typically priced based on a valuation model rather than a last trade basis and are not exchange-traded. These valuation models involve utilizing dealer quotes, analyzing market information, estimating prepayment speeds and evaluating underlying collateral. Accordingly, the Company classified these fixed income securities as Level 2. Fixed income securities also include investments in various asset-backed securities that are part of a government sponsored program. The prices of these asset-backed securities were obtained by independent third parties using multi-dimensional, collateral specific prepayments tables. Inputs include monthly payment information and collateral performance. As the values of these assets was determined based on models incorporating observable inputs, these assets were classified as Level 2. Additionally, this category includes underlying securities in trust owned life insurance policies that are invested in certain fixed income securities. These investments are not quoted on active markets; therefore, they are classified as Level 2. Derivatives and other— This category includes investments in commodity and structured credit funds that are not quoted on active markets; therefore, they are classified as Level 2. Investments measured at NAV as a practical expedient— The Company invests in certain equity, fixed income, real estate and private equity funds that are valued at calculated NAV per share. In accordance with FASB guidance investments that are measured at fair value using the NAV per share as a practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The valuation methodologies described above may generate a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or future fair values. While the Company believes the valuation methodologies used are appropriate, the use of different methodologies or assumptions in calculating fair value could result in different amounts. The Company invests in various assets in which valuation is determined by NAV. The Company believes that the NAV is representative of fair value at the reporting date, as there are no significant restrictions on redemption of these investments or other reasons to indicate that the investment would be redeemed at an amount different than the NAV. The fair values of the Company’s pension plan assets at December 31, 2018 and 2017, by asset category were as follows: December 31, 2018 December 31, 2017 Asset Category Level 1 Level 2 Total Level 1 Level 2 Total Cash and cash equivalents $ 54 $ 17 $ 71 $ 52 $ 30 $ 82 Equity 343 — 343 636 — 636 Fixed income — 1,389 1,389 — 1,062 1,062 Derivatives and other — 1 1 — 1 1 Investments measurement at NAV as a practical expedient — — 465 — — 699 Total $ 397 $ 1,407 $ 2,269 $ 688 $ 1,093 $ 2,480 Other Plans Employer 401(k) Savings Plan— Effective September 2, 2016, LSC Communications initiated its own 401(k) plan. Under the LSC Savings Plan (the “Plan”), eligible employees have the option to contribute a percentage of eligible compensation on both a before-tax and after-tax basis. Effective January 1, 2017, LSC Communications amended the Plan to provide a company match equal to $0.50 of every pre-tax and Roth 401(k) dollar a participating employee contributes to the Plan on up to the first 3.0% of such participant’s pay. Multiemployer Pension Plans —Multiemployer plans receive contributions from two or more unrelated employers pursuant to one or more collective bargaining agreements and the assets contributed by one employer may be used to fund the benefits of all employees covered within the plan. The risk and level of uncertainty related to participating in these multiemployer pension plans differs significantly from the risk associated with the Company-sponsored defined benefit plans. For example, investment decisions are made by parties unrelated to the Company and the financial stability of other employers participating in a plan may affect the Company’s obligations under the plan. During the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded restructuring, impairment and other charges relating to multiemployer pension plan withdrawal obligations of: Year Ended Unrelated to Related to December 31, Facility Closures Facility Closures Total 2018 $ 2 $ 3 $ 5 2017 $ 4 $ 1 $ 5 2016 $ 3 $ 2 $ 5 Refer to Note 9 , Restructuring, Impairment and Other Charges, The Company’s withdrawal liabilities could be affected by the financial stability of other employers participating in the plans and any decisions by those employers to withdraw from the 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 impact on the Company’s previously estimated withdrawal liabilities, may affect consolidated and combined statements of operations, balance sheets or cash flows. As a result of the acquisition of Courier, the Company participates in two multiemployer pension plans, one of which the Company’s contributions are over 85% of the total plan contributions. Both plans are estimated to be underfunded and have a red zone status, designated as a result of low contribution funding levels, under the Pension Protection Act. During the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, the Company made de minimis contributions to these multiemployer pension plans and other plans from which the Company has completely withdrawn as of December 31, 2018.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Note 15. Income Taxes U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) The Tax Act enacted on December 22, 2017 introduced significant changes to U.S. federal income tax law. Effective in 2018, the Tax Act reduced the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35.0% to 21.0% and created new taxes on certain foreign-sourced earnings and certain related-party payments, which are referred to as the global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) tax and the base erosion anti-abuse tax, respectively. In addition, in 2017, the Company was subject to a one-time transition tax on accumulated foreign subsidiary earnings not previously subject to U.S. federal income tax. The SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) to address the application of U.S. GAAP in situations when a registrant did not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act. The Company recognized provisional tax impacts related to the deemed repatriated earnings and the revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. Adjustments made to the provisional amounts allowed under SAB 118 were identified and recorded as discrete adjustments during the year ended December 31, 2018. The accounting was completed in the fourth quarter of 2018 and the adjustments are as follows: • Transition tax. A one-time transition tax on the deemed repatriation of post-1986 undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries. As a result of this one-time deemed repatriation, the Company recorded a provisional tax expense of $16 million during the fourth quarter of 2017. The final transition tax expense was $17 million. The additional $1 million was recorded during the fourth quarter of 2018. • Remeasurement of deferred taxes. A reduction in the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from a maximum of 35.0% to a flat rate of 21.0% beginning in 2018. The Company recorded a one-time net provisional tax expense of $8 million as a result of the revaluation of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the impact of the lower future U.S. federal corporate tax rates. Upon the filing of the 2017 tax returns, the final tax expense was $9 million. The additional $1 million was recorded during the fourth quarter of 2018. • Taxation of certain GILTI entities beginning in 2018. The Company has the ability to determine its policy election with respect to whether to record deferred taxes for basis differences expected to reverse as a result of the GILTI provision in future years, or in the period in which the tax is incurred. The Company determined its policy is to record taxes in the period in which they are incurred. Prior to the enactment of the Tax Act, the Company treated the undistributed earnings from foreign subsidiaries as indefinitely reinvested. The Tax Act imposed a mandatory transition tax on deferred foreign earnings and generally eliminated U.S. tax on foreign subsidiary distributions to the U.S. Accordingly, the Company has recognized the tax consequences of the Tax Act on all foreign unremitted earnings. To the extent there is cash available, management has no specific plans to indefinitely reinvest the unremitted earnings of our foreign subsidiaries as of the balance sheet date. As such, a withholding tax accrual has been recorded where appropriate and is not significant. The Company has not provided for deferred taxes on outside basis differences in our investments in our foreign subsidiaries that are unrelated to unremitted earnings as these basis differences will be indefinitely reinvested. A determination of the unrecognized deferred taxes related to these other components of our outstanding basis differences is not practicable to calculate. 2018 Disposition As described in Note 3, Business Combinations and Disposition Income tax expense (benefit) information Income taxes have been based on the following components of earnings from operations before income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016: 2018 2017 2016 U.S. $ (18 ) $ (71 ) $ 129 Foreign 28 27 28 Total $ 10 $ (44 ) $ 157 Prior to the separation, in the Company’s combined financial statements, income tax expense and deferred tax balances were calculated on a separate return basis, although with respect to certain entities, the Company’s operations have historically been included in the tax returns filed by the respective RRD entities of which the Company’s business was a part. The components of income tax expense (benefit) from operations for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 were as follows: 2018 2017 2016 Current U.S. federal $ 4 $ 20 $ 54 U.S. state and local 1 1 10 Foreign 7 7 5 Current income tax expense 12 28 69 Deferred U.S. federal (3 ) (11 ) (17 ) U.S. state and local (2 ) (4 ) (3 ) Foreign 26 — 2 Deferred income tax expense (benefit) 21 (15 ) (18 ) Income tax expense $ 33 $ 13 $ 51 Refer to Note 16, Comprehensive Income The following table outlines the reconciliation of differences between the Federal statutory tax rate and the Company’s effective income tax rate: 2018 2017 2016 Federal statutory tax rate 21.0 % 35.0 % 35.0 % Disposition of European printing business 242.4 — — Non-deductible share-based compensation 11.4 (8.9 ) — Foreign tax rate differential 9.6 6.5 (1.4 ) Impact of the Tax Act Transition tax 9.0 (36.2 ) — Deferred tax effects 4.4 (19.2 ) — Section 162(m) limitation 8.2 (5.1 ) 0.3 International investment tax credit 6.2 25.9 (1.6 ) Fringe benefits disallowance 4.5 — — Meals and entertainment disallowance 4.4 (1.3 ) 0.1 Withholding taxes 3.2 — — Impairment charges 1.3 (21.8 ) — Domestic manufacturing deduction — 1.3 (3.1 ) Change in valuation allowances (5.0 ) (22.6 ) 0.9 State and local income taxes, net of U.S. federal income tax benefit (12.0 ) 4.0 3.1 Other 10.8 11.9 (0.8 ) Effective income tax rate 319.4 % (30.5 %) 32.5 % Deferred income taxes The significant deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2018 and 2017 were as follows: 2018 2017 Deferred tax assets: Pension plan liabilities $ 41 $ 58 Accrued liabilities 35 33 Net operating losses and other tax carryforwards 17 138 Interest expense carryforward 15 — Foreign depreciation 6 13 Other 3 4 Total deferred tax assets 117 246 Valuation allowances (11 ) (115 ) Net deferred tax assets $ 106 $ 131 Deferred tax liabilities: Accelerated depreciation $ (38 ) $ (40 ) Other intangible assets (25 ) (30 ) Inventories (7 ) (6 ) Other (9 ) (5 ) Total deferred tax liabilities (79 ) (81 ) Net deferred tax assets $ 27 $ 50 Transactions affecting the valuation allowances on deferred tax assets during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 were as follows: 2018 2017 2016 Balance, beginning of year $ 115 $ 87 $ 106 Current year expense-net — 9 1 Transfer of U.K. entity to parent company — — (7 ) Disposition of European printing business (108 ) — — Foreign exchange and other 4 19 (13 ) Balance, end of year $ 11 $ 115 $ 87 As of December 31, 2018, the Company had domestic and foreign net operating loss deferred tax assets and other tax carryforwards of approximately $17 million and $0 million ($7 million and $131 million, respectively, at December 31, 2017), of which $10 million expires between 2019 and 2028. Limitations on the utilization of these tax assets may apply. The Company has provided valuation allowances to reduce the carrying value of certain deferred tax assets, as management has concluded that, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be fully realized. Cash payments for income taxes were $11 million, $36 million and $14 million during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. There were no amounts settled with RRD for 2018 and 2017. Total amounts settled with RRD were $57 million for 2016. Cash refunds for income taxes were $10 million, a de minimis amount and $3 million during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Uncertain tax positions During the year ended December 31, 2016, the entire $5 million balance of unrecognized tax benefits was settled. There have been no additional unrecognized tax benefits recorded for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. The Company classifies interest expense and any related penalties related to income tax uncertainties as a component of income tax expense. There was no interest expense, net of tax benefits, related to tax uncertainties recognized in the consolidated and combined statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016. No benefits were recognized for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 from the reversal of accrued penalties. There was no interest accrued related to income tax uncertainties at December 31, 2018 and 2017. There were no accrued penalties related to income tax uncertainties for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016.

Share Based Compensation [Abstract]
Stock and Incentive Programs	Note 17. Stock and Incentive Programs General Terms of the Awards The Company’s employees participate in the Company’s 2016 Performance Incentive Plan (the “2016 PIP”). Under the 2016 PIP, the Company may grant cash or bonus awards, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance awards or combinations thereof to certain officers, directors and key employees. The rights granted to the recipient of RSAs, RSUs and performance restricted stock (“PRS”) generally accrue ratably over the restriction or vesting period, which is generally three years. RSUs and RSAs are subject to forfeiture upon termination of employment prior to vesting, subject in some cases to early vesting upon specified events, including death or permanent disability of the grantee, termination of the grantee’s employment under certain circumstances or a change in control of the Company. Compensation expense is based on the fair market value of the awards on the date of grant expensed ratably over the periods during which restrictions lapse. Prior to the separation, RRD maintained an incentive stock program for certain individuals, including the Company’s employees. A portion of the Company’s employees participated in RRD’s non-qualified stock options, RSUs and performance share units (“PSUs”) programs. 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 combined balance sheets. In periods after the separation, the Company records share-based compensation expense relating to LSC Communications, RRD and Donnelley Financial awards held by its employees, officers and directors. 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 new LSC Communications stock-based awards or a basket of LSC Communications, RRD and Donnelley Financial stock-based awards using a formula designed to preserve the intrinsic value and fair value of the awards immediately prior to the separation. At the separation date, 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. Outstanding RRD RSUs granted in 2013 and 2014 were modified and converted into RSUs in all three companies as outlined in the separation and distribution agreement. Outstanding RRD RSUs related to 2015 and 2016 grant dates 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. Share-Based Compensation Expense Total compensation expense related to all share based compensation plans for the Company’s employees, officers and directors was $12 million, $13 million and $8 million for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The expense in 2016 includes $5 million of expense allocated from RRD prior to the separation. There were net tax benefits of $1 million, $2 million and $3 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Stock Options There was no significant activity related to stock options during the year December 31, 2018.

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. There was $1 million and a de minimis amount of compensation expense related to PSUs for each of the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. As of December 31, 2018, there was $1 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to PSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	Note 18. Segment Information During the third quarter of 2018, the Company realigned the reportable segments and reporting units to reflect its evolution since its separation from RRD in 2016, as well as changes from recent acquisition and disposal activity. All prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the Company’s current reporting structure. The Company’s segment and product and service offerings are summarized below: Magazines, Catalogs and Logistics The Magazines, Catalogs and Logistics segment primarily produces magazines and catalogs, as well as provides logistics solutions to the Company and other third parties. The segment also provides certain other print-related services, including mail-list management and sortation. The segment has operations primarily in the U.S. The Magazines, Catalogs and Logistics segment is divided into two reporting units: magazines and catalogs; and logistics. The Magazines, Catalogs and Logistics segment accounted for approximately 45% of the Company’s consolidated net sales in 2018. Book The Book segment produces books for publishers primarily in the U.S. The segment also provides supply-chain management services and warehousing and fulfillment services, as well as e-book formatting for book publishers. The Book segment accounted for approximately 28% of the Company’s consolidated net sales in 2018. Office Products The Office Products segment manufactures and sells branded and private label products in five core categories: filing products, envelopes, note-taking products, binder products, and forms. The Office Products segment accounted for approximately 15% of the Company’s consolidated net sales in 2018. Other The Other grouping consists of the following non-reportable segments: Europe, Directories, Mexico, and Print Management. Europe produces magazines, catalogs and directories and provides packaging and pre-media services. magazines, catalogs, statements, forms, and labels. Print Management provides outsourced print procurement and management services. The Company disposed of its European printing business in the third quarter of 2018. The Other grouping consists of approximately 12% of the Company’s consolidated net sales in 2018 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, share-based compensation expense is 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 consolidated and combined financial statements.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Parties	Note 20. Related Parties On March 28, 2017, RRD completed the sale of approximately 6.2 million shares of LSC Communications common stock, representing its entire 19.25% retained ownership. 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 consolidated and combined statement of operations: Nine months ended September 30, 2016 Costs of goods sold $ 67 Selling, general and administrative 114 Depreciation and amortization 5 Total allocations from RRD $ 186 The Company considered the expense methodologies and financial results to be reasonable. 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 consolidated financial statements. Transactions with RRD Revenues and Purchases Given that RRD sold its remaining stake in LSC Communications on March 28, 2017, the following information is presented for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and year ended December 31, 2016 only. LSC Communications generates net revenue from sales to RRD’s subsidiaries. Net revenues from related party sales were $32 million and $87 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and year ended December 31, 2016, respectively. LSC Communications utilizes RRD for freight and premedia services, and utilized RRD for logistics services prior to LSC Communications’ acquisition of Print Logistics in 2018. There were cost of sales of $51 million and $208 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and year ended December 31, 2016, respectively, related to freight, logistics and premedia services purchased from RRD.

Accounting Changes And Error Corrections [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements	Note 21. 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. The standard is effective in the first quarter of 2019. Early adoption of ASU 2016-02 is permitted, however, the Company will adopt the standard in the first quarter of 2019. In July 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-11 “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements” (“ASU 2018-11”), which permits companies to initially apply the new leases standard at the adoption date and not restate periods prior to adoption. The Company will adopt ASU 2018-11. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition and in ongoing accounting. The Company will elect the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permits the Company not to reassess under the new standard the prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company will not elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements. Related to ongoing accounting, the Company will make an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off of the balance sheet and will also elect the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all of our leases. When calculating the balance sheet right of use assets and lease liabilities, the Company will apply an incremental borrowing rate commensurate with the original lease term and lease payments. Upon adoption of ASC 842, the Company is required to recognize all right of use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Based upon the balances that existed as of December 31, 2018, the Company will record an increase of approximately $206 million to both right of use assets and lease liabilities in the first quarter of 2019. We anticipate that the adoption of ASC 842 will not have a material impact to the future consolidated net earnings and will not have a material impact on our liquidity or our debt-covenant compliance under our current agreements.

Significant Accounting Polici_2

Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2018
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates —The preparation of the consolidated and combined financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires the extensive use of management’s estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for items and matters including, but not limited to, allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, inventory obsolescence, asset valuations and useful lives, employee benefits, self-insurance reserves, taxes, restructuring and other provisions and contingencies.
Foreign Operations	Foreign Operations —Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates existing at the respective balance sheet dates. Income and expense items are translated at the average rates during the respective periods. Translation adjustments resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates are recorded as a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) while transaction gains and losses are recorded in net earnings.
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements— Certain assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The Company records the fair value of its pension plan assets on a recurring basis. Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include long-lived assets held and used, long-lived assets held for sale, goodwill and other intangible assets. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term debt and accounts payable approximate their carrying values. The three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes valuation methodologies based on the reliability of the inputs, is: Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets. Level 2 —Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 —Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition — As explained in Note 1, Overview and Basis of Presentation , the Company adopted ASC 606, 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 previous guidance. 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 performance obligation has been completed and the customer obtains control of the products, which is generally 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). In these situations, the Company may also receive a logistics or warehouse management fee for the services it provides, which the Company recognizes over time as the services are provided. 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 product, 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 the Company expects 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 resulting 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 is 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 the Company’s 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 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 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. Refer to Note 4, Revenue Recognition .
By-Product Recoveries	By-product recoveries —The Company records the sale of by-products as a reduction of cost of sales.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and cash equivalents —The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Short-term securities consist of investment grade instruments of governments, financial institutions and corporations.
Receivables	Receivables— Receivables are stated net of allowances for doubtful accounts and primarily include trade receivables, notes receivable and miscellaneous receivables from suppliers. No single customer comprised more than 10% of our net sales in 2018, 2017 or 2016. Specific customer provisions are made when a review of significant outstanding amounts, utilizing information about customer creditworthiness and current economic trends, indicates that collection is doubtful. In addition, provisions are made at differing rates, based upon the age of the receivable and the Company’s historical collection experience. Refer to Note 5, for details of activity affecting the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable.
Inventories	Inventories —Inventories include material, labor and factory overhead and are stated at the lower of cost or market and net of excess and obsolescence reserves for raw materials and finished goods. Provisions for excess and obsolete inventories are made at differing rates, utilizing historical data and current economic trends, based upon the age and type of the inventory. Specific excess and obsolescence provisions are also made when a review of specific balances indicates that the inventories will not be utilized in production or sold. The cost of 63.0% and 63.9% of the inventories at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, has been determined using the Last-In, First-Out (“LIFO”) method. The LIFO method is intended to reflect the effect of inventory replacement costs within the consolidated and combined statements of operations; accordingly, charges to cost of sales generally reflect recent costs of material, labor and factory overhead. The Company uses an external-index method of valuing LIFO inventories. The remaining inventories, primarily related to certain acquired and international operations, are valued using the First-In, First-Out (“FIFO”) or specific identification methods.
Long-Lived Assets	Long-Lived Assets —The Company assesses potential impairments to its long-lived assets if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. An impaired asset is written down to its estimated fair value based upon the most recent information available. Estimated fair market value is generally measured by discounting estimated future cash flows. Long-lived assets, other than goodwill and other intangible assets, that are held for sale, are recorded at the lower of the carrying value or the fair market value less the estimated cost to sell.
Property, Plant and Equipment	Property, plant and equipment —Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Useful lives range from 15 to 40 years for buildings, the lesser of 7 years or the lease term for leasehold improvements and from 3 to 15 years for machinery and equipment. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred. Major overhauls that extend the useful lives of existing assets are capitalized. When properties are retired or disposed, the costs and accumulated depreciation are eliminated and the resulting profit or loss is recognized in the results of operations.
Goodwill	Goodwill —Goodwill is assigned to a specific reporting unit, depending on the nature of the acquired company. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually as of October 31 or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is below its carrying value. For certain reporting units, the Company may perform a qualitative, rather than quantitative, assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. In performing this qualitative analysis, the Company considers various factors, including the excess of prior year estimates of fair value compared to carrying value, the effect of market or industry changes and the reporting unit’s actual results compared to projected results. Based on this qualitative analysis, if management determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying value, no further impairment testing is performed. For the remaining reporting units, the Company compares each reporting unit’s fair value, estimated based on comparable company market valuations and expected future discounted cash flows to be generated by the reporting unit, to its carrying value. As a result of the Company’s early adoption of ASU 2017-04 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)” during the third quarter of 2017, if the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, the Company recognizes an impairment charge equal to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value not to exceed the total amount of goodwill recorded. Refer to Note 9, Restructuring, Impairment and Other Charges,
Amortization	Amortization —Certain costs to acquire and develop internal-use computer software are capitalized and amortized over their estimated useful life using the straight-line method, up to a maximum of 3 years. Amortization expense, primarily related to internally-developed software and excluding amortization expense related to other intangible assets, was $9 million, $5 million and $5 million for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Deferred debt issuance costs are amortized over the term of the related debt. Other intangible assets, except for those intangible assets with indefinite lives, are recognized separately from goodwill and are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Other intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized. Refer to Note 8 , Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,
Share-Based Compensation	Share-Based Compensation — The Company recognizes compensation expense for share-based awards expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award based on their grant date fair value. Prior to the separation, RRD maintained an incentive share-based compensation program for certain individuals, including certain LSC Communications employees. The share-based compensation expense was allocated to the Company based on the awards and terms previously granted to the Company’s employees, as well as an allocation of expense related to RRD’s corporate and shared functional employees. Refer to Note 17, for further discussion.
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits Plans	Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits Plans — At the separation date, the Company recorded net benefit obligations transferred from RRD. T he Company records annual income and expense amounts relating to its pension plans based on calculations that include various actuarial assumptions, including discount rates, mortality, assumed rates of return, compensation increases, and turnover rates. The Company reviews its actuarial assumptions on an annual basis and makes modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends when it is deemed appropriate to do so. The effect of modifications on the value of plan obligations and assets is recognized immediately within other comprehensive income (loss) and amortized into operating earnings over future periods. The Company believes that the assumptions utilized in recording its obligations under its plans are reasonable based on its experience, market conditions and input from its actuaries and investment advisors. Refer to Note 14, Retirement Plans , for information on a partial settlement completed by the Company in the first quarter of 2019. Prior to the separation, certain employees of the Company participated in various pension and postretirement health care plans sponsored by RRD. In the Company’s combined financial statements, these plans were accounted for as multiemployer benefit plans and no net liabilities were reflected in the Company’s combined balance sheets as there were no unfunded contributions due at the end of any reporting period. The Company’s statements of operations included expense allocations for these benefits. These expenses were funded through intercompany transactions with RRD and were reflected within net parent company investment in LSC Communications. Certain plans in LSC Communications’ Mexico and U.S. operations were direct obligations of LSC Communications and were recorded in the combined financial statements. Refer to Note 14, Retirement Plans , for further discussion.
Taxes on Income	Taxes on Income —The Company has recorded deferred tax assets related to future deductible items, including domestic and foreign tax loss and credit carryforwards. The Company evaluates these deferred tax assets by tax jurisdiction. The utilization of these tax assets is limited by the amount of taxable income expected to be generated within the allowable carryforward period and other factors. Accordingly, management has provided a valuation allowance to reduce certain of these deferred tax assets when management has concluded that, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be fully realized. If actual results differ from these estimates, or the estimates are adjusted in future periods, adjustments to the valuation allowance might need to be recorded. Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes and related accruals, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. In the ordinary course of business, there are transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain. Additionally, the Company’s tax returns are subject to audit by various U.S. and foreign tax authorities. The Company recognizes a tax position in its financial statements when it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. This recognized tax position is then measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Although management believes that its estimates are reasonable, the final outcome of uncertain tax positions may be materially different from that which is reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company classifies interest expense and any related penalties related to income tax uncertainties as a component of income tax expense. , Income Taxes, Prior to the separation, in the Company’s combined financial statements, income tax expense and deferred tax balances were calculated on a separate return basis, although with respect to certain entities, the Company’s operations were historically included in the tax returns filed by the respective RRD entities of which the Company’s business was formerly a part. For periods after the separation, the Company has and will continue to file tax returns on its own behalf. The provision for income tax and income tax balances after the separation represent the Company's tax liabilities as an independent company.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)	Comprehensive Income (Loss) —Comprehensive income (loss) for the Company consists of net earnings, unrecognized actuarial gains and losses and foreign currency translation adjustments. Refer to Note 16 for further discussion.
