R.R. DONNELLEY & SONS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES (“RR DONNELLEY”)

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise indicated)

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “RR Donnelley”) and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments, as well as an other than normal adjustment as described in the paragraph below, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 filed with the SEC on February 26, 2013. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include estimates and assumptions of management that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

During the first quarter of 2012, the Company identified and recognized $19.8 million to correct an over-accrual for rebates owed to certain office products customers, which understated accounts receivable and net sales during the years 2008 through 2011. Following qualitative and quantitative review, the Company concluded that the over-accrual was not material to any prior period or to the full year 2012 or the trend of annual operating results.

2. Acquisitions

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded $1.0 million of acquisition-related expenses associated with contemplated acquisitions within selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

2012 Acquisitions

On December 28, 2012, the Company acquired Presort Solutions (“Presort”), a provider of mail presorting services to businesses in various industries. The acquisition of Presort expanded the range of logistics co-mailing capabilities that the Company

can provide to its customers and enhanced its integrated offerings. The purchase price for Presort was $11.9 million, net of cash acquired of $0.8 million. Presort’s operations are included in the U.S. Print and Related Services segment.

On December 17, 2012, the Company acquired Meisel Photographic Corporation (“Meisel”), a provider of custom designed visual graphics products to the retail market. The acquisition of Meisel expanded and enhanced the range of services the Company offers to its customers. The purchase price for Meisel was $25.4 million, net of cash acquired of $1.0 million. Meisel’s operations are included in the U.S. Print and Related Services segment.

On September 6, 2012, the Company acquired Express Postal Options International (“XPO”), a provider of international outbound mailing services to pharmaceutical, e-commerce, financial services, information technology, catalog, direct mail and other businesses. The acquisition of XPO expanded the range of logistics capabilities that the Company can provide to its customers and enhanced its integrated offerings. The purchase price for XPO, which includes the Company’s estimate of contingent consideration, was $23.4 million, net of cash acquired of $1.0 million. The former owners of XPO may receive contingent consideration in the form of cash payments of up to $4.0 million subject to XPO achieving certain gross profit targets. As of the acquisition date, the Company estimated the fair value of the contingent consideration to be $3.5 million using a probability weighting of the potential payouts. Subsequent changes in the estimated contingent consideration from the final purchase price allocation will be recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. XPO’s operations are included in the U.S. Print and Related Services segment.

On August 14, 2012, the Company acquired EDGAR Online, a leading provider of disclosure management services, financial data and enterprise risk analytics software and solutions. The acquisition of EDGAR Online expanded and enhanced the range of services that the Company offers to its customers. The purchase price for EDGAR Online was $71.5 million, including debt assumed of $1.4 million and net of cash acquired of $2.1 million. Immediately following the acquisition, the Company repaid the $1.4 million of debt assumed. EDGAR Online’s operations are included in the U.S. Print and Related Services segment.

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company recorded $0.3 million of acquisition-related expenses associated with acquisitions contemplated or completed in subsequent periods within selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Presort, Meisel, XPO and EDGAR Online 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 and the fair value of the contingent consideration over the net amounts assigned to the fair value of the assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The tax deductible goodwill related to these acquisitions was $23.7 million.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise indicated)

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded net restructuring charges of $8.8 million for employee termination costs for 393 employees, of whom 127 were terminated as of March 31, 2013. These charges primarily related to the closing of two manufacturing facilities within the U.S. Print and Related Services segment and the reorganization of certain operations. Additionally, the Company incurred lease termination and other restructuring charges of $9.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, including charges related to multi-employer pension plan withdrawal obligations. The Company also recorded $4.1 million of impairment charges primarily related to buildings and machinery and equipment associated with the facility closings for the three months ended March 31, 2013. 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.

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company recorded net restructuring charges of $36.8 million for employee termination costs for 1,365 employees, substantially all of whom were terminated as of March 31, 2013. These charges primarily related to actions resulting from the reorganization of sales and administrative functions across all segments, the closing of two manufacturing facilities within the U.S. Print and Related Services segment and one manufacturing facility within the International segment and the reorganization of certain operations. Additionally, the Company incurred lease termination and other restructuring charges of $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The Company also recorded $9.3 million of impairment charges primarily related to machinery and equipment associated with the facility closings for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The fair values of the machinery and equipment were determined to be Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy and were estimated based on discussions with machinery and equipment brokers, dealer quotes and internal expertise related to the current marketplace conditions.

The current portion of restructuring reserves of $31.6 million at March 31, 2013 was included in accrued liabilities, while the long-term portion of $49.3 million, primarily related to multi-employer pension plan complete or partial withdrawal obligations and lease termination costs, was included in other noncurrent liabilities at March 31, 2013.

The Company anticipates that payments associated with the employee terminations reflected in the above table will be substantially completed by March of 2014. Payments on the multi-employer pension plan complete or partial withdrawal obligations are scheduled to be substantially completed by 2032.

As of March 31, 2013, the restructuring liabilities classified as “lease terminations and other” consisted of lease terminations, other facility closing costs and contract termination costs. Payments on certain of the lease obligations are scheduled to continue until 2026. Market conditions and the Company’s ability to sublease these properties could affect the ultimate charge related to the lease obligations. Any potential recoveries or additional charges could affect amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of future periods.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their in-the-money options on March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. This amount will change in future periods based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock and the number of options outstanding. Total intrinsic value of options exercised for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $1.2 million. There were no options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Compensation expense related to stock options for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $0.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2013, $2.8 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to 1.1 million stock options with a weighted average fair market value of $3.31, is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.4 years.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, 485,000 performance share unit awards were granted to certain executive officers, payable upon the achievement of certain established performance targets. The performance period for the shares awarded is January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2015. Distributions under these awards are payable at the end of the performance period in common stock or cash, at the Company’s discretion. The total potential payouts for awards granted during the three months ended March 31, 2013 range from 242,500 to 485,000 shares, should certain performance targets be achieved. 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 a change in control of the Company.

Compensation expense for the performance share unit awards granted in 2013 and 2012 is currently being recognized based on the maximum estimated payout of 485,000 and 233,000 shares, for each respective period. Compensation expense for awards granted during 2011 is currently being recognized based on an estimated payout of 50%, or 117,500 shares. Compensation expense related to performance share unit awards for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2013, there was $5.6 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to performance share unit awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.4 years.

10. Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to RR Donnelley common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. In computing diluted earnings per share, basic earnings per share is adjusted for the assumed issuance of all potentially dilutive share-based awards, including stock options, restricted stock units and performance share units. Performance share units are considered anti-dilutive and excluded if the performance targets upon which the issuance of the shares is contingent have not yet been achieved as of the end of the current period. Additionally, stock options are considered anti-dilutive when the exercise price exceeds the average of the Company’s stock price during the applicable period.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, no shares of common stock were purchased by the Company.

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 eleven 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 results of operations, financial position or 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 results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

The fair values of the senior notes and debentures, which were determined using the market approach based upon interest rates available to the Company for borrowings with similar terms and maturities, were determined to be Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Company’s debt was greater than its book value by approximately $217.3 million and less than its book value by approximately $3.7 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

On March 14, 2013, the Company issued $450.0 million of 7.875% senior notes due March 15, 2021. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on September 15, 2013. The net proceeds from the offering were used to repurchase $173.5 million of the 6.125% senior notes due January 15, 2017, $130.2 million of the 8.60% senior notes due August 15, 2016 and $50.0 million of the 7.25% senior notes due May 15, 2018 and to reduce borrowings under the Company’s $1.15 billion senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”). The repurchases resulted in a pre-tax loss on debt extinguishment of $35.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 related to the premiums paid, unamortized debt issuance costs and other expenses.

There were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012.

On March 13, 2012, the Company issued $450.0 million of 8.25% senior notes due March 15, 2019. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on September 15, 2012. The net proceeds from the offering and cash on hand were used to repurchase $341.8 million of the 4.95% senior notes due April 1, 2014 and $100.0 million of the 5.50% senior notes due May 15, 2015. The repurchases resulted in a pre-tax loss on debt extinguishment of $12.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, consisting of a loss of $23.2 million related to the premiums paid, unamortized debt issuance costs and other expenses, partially offset by the elimination of $11.1 million of the fair value adjustment on the 4.95% senior notes.

On January 15, 2012, proceeds from borrowings under the Company’s previous $1.75 billion revolving credit agreement were used to pay the $158.6 million 5.625% senior notes that matured on January 15, 2012.

Interest income was $3.8 million and $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

15. Derivatives

All derivatives are recorded as other current or noncurrent assets or other current or noncurrent liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at their respective fair values. Unrealized gains and losses related to derivatives are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable income taxes, or in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, depending

on the purpose for which the derivative is held. For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the unrealized gain or loss related to the derivatives are generally recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) until the transaction affects earnings. For derivatives designated and that qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative, as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not meet the criteria for designation as a hedge at inception, or fail to meet the criteria thereafter, are recognized currently in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. At the inception of a hedge transaction, the Company formally documents the hedge relationship and the risk management objective for undertaking the hedge. In addition, the Company assesses both at inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivative in the hedging transaction has been highly effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedged item and whether the derivative is expected to continue to be highly effective. The impact of any ineffectiveness is also recognized currently in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company is exposed to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations in certain countries in which it operates. The exposure to foreign currency movements is limited in many countries because the operating revenues and expenses of its various subsidiaries and business units are substantially in the local currency of the country in which they operate. To the extent borrowings, sales, purchases, revenues, expenses or other transactions are not in the local currency of the subsidiary or operating unit, the Company is exposed to currency risk. Periodically, the Company uses foreign exchange spot and forward contracts to hedge exposures resulting from foreign exchange fluctuations. Accordingly, the implied gains and losses associated with the fair values of foreign currency exchange contracts are generally offset by gains and losses on underlying payables, receivables and net investments in foreign subsidiaries. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

The Company has entered into foreign exchange forward contracts in order to manage the currency exposure of certain assets and liabilities. The foreign exchange forward contracts were not designated as hedges, and accordingly, the fair value gains or losses from these foreign currency derivatives are recognized currently in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, generally offsetting the foreign exchange gains or losses on the exposures being managed. The aggregate notional value of the forward contracts at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $515.6 million and $654.2 million, respectively. The fair values of foreign exchange forward contracts were determined to be Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy and are valued using market exchange rates.

On March 13, 2012, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate risk exposure, effectively changing the interest rate on $400.0 million of its fixed-rate senior notes to a floating rate based on LIBOR plus a basis point spread.

The interest rate swaps, with a notional value of $400.0 million, are designated as fair value hedges against changes in the value of the Company’s $450.0 million 8.25% senior notes due March 15, 2019, which are attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate.

On April 9, 2010, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate risk exposure, effectively changing the interest rate on $600.0 million of its fixed-rate senior notes to a floating rate LIBOR plus a basis point spread. The interest rate swaps, with a notional value of $600.0 million at inception, are designated as fair value hedges against changes in the value of the Company’s 4.95% senior notes due April 1, 2014, which are attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate. During March 2012, the Company repurchased $341.8 million of the 4.95% senior notes due April 1, 2014, and related interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $342.0 million were terminated, resulting in proceeds of $11.0 million for the fair value of the interest rate swaps.

The fair values of interest rate swaps were determined to be Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy and were developed using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on the expectation of future interest rates derived from observed market interest rate curves. In addition, credit valuation adjustments, which consider the impact of any credit enhancements to the contracts, are incorporated in the fair values to account for potential nonperformance risk. The Company evaluates the credit value adjustments of the interest rate swap agreements, which take into account the possibility of counterparty and the Company’s own default, on at least a quarterly basis.

The Company’s foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swaps are subject to enforceable master netting agreements that allow the Company to settle positive and negative positions with the respective counterparties. The Company settles foreign exchange forward contracts on a net basis when possible. Foreign exchange forward contracts that can be settled on a net basis are presented net in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Interest rate swaps are settled on a gross basis and presented gross in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company manages credit risk for its derivative positions on a counterparty-by-counterparty basis, considering the net portfolio exposure with each counterparty, consistent with its risk management strategy for such transactions. The Company’s agreements with each of its counterparties contain a provision where the Company could be declared in default on its derivative obligations if it either defaults or, in certain cases, is capable of being declared in default of any of its indebtedness greater than specified thresholds. These agreements also contain a provision where the Company could be declared in default subsequent to a merger or restructuring type event if the creditworthiness of the resulting entity is materially weaker.

16. Fair Value Measurement

Certain assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company’s only assets and liabilities adjusted to fair value on a recurring basis are pension and other postretirement benefits plan assets, foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swaps. See Note 15 for further discussion on the fair value of the Company’s foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swaps as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

In addition to assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company is required to record certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, generally as a result of acquisitions or the remeasurement of assets resulting in impairment charges. See Note 2 for further discussion on the fair value of assets and liabilities associated with acquisitions.

Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis subsequent to initial recognition during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 are summarized below:

The Company’s accounting and finance management determines the valuation policies and procedures for Level 3 fair value measurements and is responsible for the development and determination of unobservable inputs.

The fair values of the long-lived assets held and used and long-lived assets held for sale or disposal were determined using Level 3 inputs 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. Unobservable inputs obtained from third parties are adjusted as necessary for the condition and attributes of the specific asset.

See Note 14 for the fair value of the Company’s debt.

17. New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-05 “Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity” (“ASU 2013-05”), which requires the release of cumulative translation adjustments into net income when an entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest resulting in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. ASU 2013-05 will be effective prospectively for the Company in the first quarter of 2014. The adoption of ASU 2013-05 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-04 “Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date” (“ASU 2013-04”), which requires the measurement of joint and several liability arrangements, when the total amount of the obligation is fixed as of the reporting date, as the sum of the amount the entity has agreed to pay as well as any additional amounts expected to be paid on behalf of co-obligors. ASU 2013-04 will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2014. The adoption of ASU 2013-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11 “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2011-11”), which requires disclosures of gross and net information about financial and derivative instruments eligible for offset in the statement of financial position or subject to a master netting agreement. In January 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-01 “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures

about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2013-01”), which narrows the scope of the disclosure requirements to derivatives, securities borrowings, and securities lending transactions that are either offset or subject to a master netting arrangement. ASU 2011-11 and ASU 2013-01 were effective for and adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2013 and required additional disclosures, but otherwise did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2011-05”), which prohibits the presentation of other comprehensive income in the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity and requires the presentation of net income, items of other comprehensive income and total comprehensive income in one continuous statement or two separate but consecutive statements. In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-12 “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05” (“ASU 2011-12”), which deferred the requirement to present reclassification adjustments for each component of other comprehensive income on the face of the financial statements. In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02 “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2013-02”), which requires disclosures of the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component, including the respective line items of net income if the amount is required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. ASU 2011-05 and 2011-12 were effective for and adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2012 and ASU 2013-02 was effective and adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2013. The ASUs have impacted the Company’s financial statement presentation and disclosures, but otherwise did not impact the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

2013 restructuring and impairment charges—net: included pre-tax charges of $8.8 million for employee termination costs; $9.8 million of lease termination and other restructuring costs; and $4.1 million for impairment of other long-lived assets, primarily for buildings and machinery and equipment associated with facility closures.

2012 restructuring and impairment charges—net: included pre-tax charges of $36.8 million for employee termination costs; $3.9 million of lease termination and other restructuring costs; and $9.3 million for impairment of other long-lived assets, primarily for machinery and equipment associated with facility closures.

Acquisition-related expenses: included pre-tax charges of $1.0 million ($1.0 million after-tax) related to legal, accounting and other expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 associated with contemplated acquisitions. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, these pre-tax charges were $0.3 million ($0.3 million after-tax) for acquisitions contemplated or completed in subsequent periods.

Loss on debt extinguishment: included a pre-tax loss of $35.6 million ($23.1 million after-tax) for the three months ended March 31, 2013, related to the premiums paid, unamortized debt issuance costs and other expenses due to the repurchase of $173.5 million of the 6.125% senior notes due January 15, 2017, $130.2 million of the 8.60% senior notes due August 15, 2016 and $50.0 million of the 7.25% senior notes due May 15, 2018. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, a pre-tax loss of $12.1 million ($7.9 million after-tax) was recognized due to the repurchase of $341.8 million of the 4.95% senior notes due April 1, 2014 and $100.0 million of the 5.50% senior notes due May 15, 2015. The loss consisted of $23.2 million related to the premiums paid, unamortized debt issuance costs and other expenses, partially offset by the elimination of $11.1 million of the fair value adjustment on the 4.95% senior notes.

2013 Venezuela devaluation : currency devaluation in Venezuela resulted in a pre-tax loss of $3.2 million ($3.2 million after-tax), of which $1.0 million was included in loss attributable to noncontrolling interests.

Operations: reflected the $19.8 million prior year adjustment to net sales to correct an over-accrual of rebates due to certain office products customers, price pressures, lower volume in certain products, wage inflation in Latin America and Asia and lower pension and other postretirement benefits plan income, partially offset by lower depreciation and amortization expense, reduced healthcare costs, lower incentive compensation expense, the suspension of the Company’s 401(k) match and cost savings from restructuring activities. Income tax expense included the benefit related to the American Tax Payer Relief Act during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the release of valuation allowances on certain deferred tax assets in Europe during the three months ended March 31, 2012. See further details in the review of operating results by segment that follows below.

First quarter overview

Net sales increased during the first quarter of 2013 compared to the first quarter of 2012 primarily related to acquisitions in the U.S. Print and Related Services segment and an increase in sales in the International segment resulting from higher volume in Asia and Global Turnkey Solutions, higher pass-through paper sales in Asia and Europe and an increase in capital markets transactions activity, partially offset by decreased pass-through sales in print management and lower volume from existing customers in business process outsourcing. Pro forma sales (see Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) in the U.S. Print and Related Services segment declined as a result of lower volume in certain products, the $19.8 million prior year adjustment to net sales to correct for an over-accrual of rebates due to certain office products customers, price pressures and lower pass-through paper sales. The largest net sales declines in the U.S. Print and Related Services segment were experienced in magazines, catalogs and retail inserts, office products, commercial print and books and directories.

The Company continues to implement strategic initiatives across all platforms to reduce its overall cost structure and enhance productivity. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company realized cost savings from lower incentive compensation expense, the suspension of the Company’s 401(k) match, reduced healthcare costs and cost savings from restructuring activities, including the impact of the prior year reorganization of sales and administrative functions across all segments as well as continuing facility consolidations and reorganizations across certain platforms.

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $95.8 million as compared to $52.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase primarily resulted from higher supplier payments in the first quarter of 2013 due to timing, partially offset by lower payments related to incentive compensation, the 2013 suspension of the Company’s 401(k) match and lower pension and other postretirement benefits plan contributions. Similar to 2012, the Company expects net cash inflows from operations in the second half of 2013 due to normal operating cycles of the Company’s business.

On March 14, 2013, the Company issued $450.0 million of 7.875% senior notes due March 15, 2021. The net proceeds from the offering were used to repurchase $173.5 million of the 6.125% senior notes due January 15, 2017, $130.2 million of the 8.60% senior notes due August 15, 2016 and $50.0 million of the 7.25% senior notes due May 15, 2018 and to reduce borrowings under the Company’s $1.15 billion senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”). The repurchases resulted in a pre-tax loss on debt extinguishment of $35.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 related to the premiums paid, unamortized debt issuance costs and other expenses. As a result of the repurchases, the Company’s annual long-term debt maturities are less than $360.0 million in each year through 2017. See additional discussion in Liquidity and Capital Resources.

OUTLOOK

Competition and Strategy

The print and related services industry, in general, continues to have excess capacity and remains highly competitive. Despite some consolidation in recent years, the industry remains highly fragmented. Across the Company’s range of products and services, competition is based primarily on price in addition to quality and the ability to service the special needs of customers. Management expects that prices for the Company’s products and services will continue to be a focal point for customers in coming years. Therefore, the Company believes it needs to continue to lower its cost structure and differentiate its product and service offerings.

 

45  

   

   

   

   

   

   


   

Technological changes, including the electronic distribution of documents and data, online distribution and hosting of media content, and advances in digital printing, print-on-demand and Internet technologies, continue to impact the market for the Company’s products and services. The Company seeks to leverage the distinctive capabilities of its products and services to improve its customers’ communications, whether in paper form or through electronic communications. The Company’s goal remains to help its customers succeed by delivering effective and targeted communications in the right format to the right audiences at the right time. Management believes that with the Company’s competitive strengths, including its broad range of complementary print-related services, strong logistics capabilities, technology leadership, depth of management experience, customer relationships and economies of scale, the Company has developed and can further develop valuable, differentiated solutions for its customers. The Company seeks to leverage its unified platform and strong customer relationships in order to serve a larger share of its customers’ print and related services needs.

As a substitute for print, the impact of digital technologies has been felt mainly in books, directories, forms and statement printing. Electronic communication and transaction technology has eliminated or reduced the role of many traditional printed products and has continued to drive electronic substitution in directory and statement printing, in part driven by environmental concerns and cost pressures at key customers. In addition, rapid growth in the adoption of e-books is having a continuing impact on consumer print book volume, though only a limited impact on educational and specialty books. Digital technologies have also impacted printed magazines, as some advertising spending has moved from print to electronic media. The future impact of technology on the Company’s business is difficult to predict and could result in additional expenditures to restructure impacted operations or develop new technologies. In addition, the Company has made targeted acquisitions and investments in the Company’s existing business to offer customers innovative services and solutions that further secure the Company’s position as a technology leader in the industry.

The Company has implemented a number of strategic initiatives to reduce its overall cost structure and improve efficiency, including the restructuring, reorganization and integration of operations and streamlining of administrative and support activities. Future cost reduction initiatives could include the reorganization of operations and the consolidation of facilities. Implementing such initiatives might result in future restructuring or impairment charges, which may be substantial. Management also reviews the Company’s operations and management structure on a regular basis to balance appropriate risks and opportunities to maximize efficiencies and to support the Company’s long-term strategic goals.

Seasonality

Advertising and consumer spending trends affect demand in several of the end-markets served by the Company. Historically, demand for printing of magazines, catalogs, retail inserts and books is higher in the second half of the year driven by increased advertising pages within magazines, and holiday catalog, retail insert and book volumes. This typical seasonal pattern can be impacted by overall trends in the U.S. and world economy. The Company expects the seasonality impact in 2013 and future years to be in line with historical patterns.

Raw materials

The primary raw materials the Company uses in its print businesses are paper and ink. The Company negotiates with leading suppliers to maximize its purchasing efficiencies and uses a wide variety of paper grades, formats, ink formulations and colors. In addition, a substantial amount of paper used by the Company is supplied directly by customers. Variations in the cost and supply of certain paper grades and ink formulations used in the manufacturing process may affect the Company’s consolidated financial results. Paper prices fluctuated during the first three months of 2013, and volatility in the future is expected. Generally, customers directly absorb the impact of changing prices on customer-supplied paper. With respect to paper purchased by the Company, the Company has historically passed most price increases and decreases through to its customers. Contractual arrangements and industry practice should support the Company’s continued ability to pass on any future paper price increases, but there is no assurance that market conditions will continue to enable the Company to successfully do so. Management believes that paper supply is consolidating, and there may be shortfalls in the future in supplies necessary to meet the demands of the entire marketplace. Higher paper prices and tight paper

supplies may have an impact on customers’ demand for printed products. Additionally, the Company has undertaken various strategic initiatives to mitigate any foreseeable supply disruptions with respect to the Company’s ink requirements. The Company also resells waste paper and other by-products and may be impacted by changes in prices for these by-products.

The Company continues to monitor the impact of changes in the price of crude oil and other energy costs, which impact the Company’s ink suppliers, logistics operations and manufacturing costs. Crude oil and energy prices continue to be volatile. The Company believes its logistics operations will continue to be able to pass a substantial portion of any increases in fuel prices directly to its customers in order to offset the impact of related cost increases. The Company generally cannot pass on to customers the impact of higher energy prices on its manufacturing costs. However, the Company enters into fixed price contracts for a portion of its natural gas purchases to mitigate the impact of changes in energy prices. The Company cannot predict sudden changes in energy prices and the impact that possible future energy price increases or decreases might have upon either future operating costs or customer demand and the related impact either will have on the Company’s consolidated annual results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Distribution

The Company’s products are distributed to end-users through the U.S. or foreign postal services, through retail channels, electronically or by direct shipment to customer facilities. Through its logistics operations, the Company manages the distribution of most customer products printed by the Company in the U.S. and Canada to maximize efficiency and reduce costs for customers.

Postal costs are a significant component of many customers’ cost structures and postal rate changes can influence the number of pieces that the Company’s customers are willing to print and mail. On January 22, 2012, the United States Postal Service (“USPS”) increased postage rates for all major mail classes, including first-class mail, standard mail, periodicals and single piece parcel post. The new rates increased the cost of mailing these classes of mail by approximately 2.1%, on average, which is the calculated cap under the 2006 Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act. Under this act, it is anticipated that postage will increase annually by an amount equal to or slightly less than the Consumer Price Index. On January 27, 2013, the USPS further increased postage rates across all classes of mail by approximately 2.6%, on average. As a leading provider of print logistics and among the largest mailers of standard mail in the U.S., the Company works closely with the USPS and its customers to offer innovative products and services to minimize postage costs. While the Company does not directly absorb the impact of higher postal rates on its customers’ mailings, demand for products distributed through the U.S. or foreign postal services is expected to be impacted by changes in the postal rates. During the third quarter of 2012, the USPS defaulted on two mandatory payments for the funding of retiree health benefits. The USPS announced that these defaults were not expected to impact mail services. However, the USPS is continuing to pursue its previously announced plans to restructure its mail delivery network, including the closure of many post office facilities. On April 10, 2013, the USPS announced that it will delay the shift to a five-day mail and six-day package delivery schedule initially scheduled for August 2013, until legislation is passed that provides the authority to do so. Mail delivery services through the USPS account for approximately 49% of the Company’s logistics revenues. The impact to the Company of the USPS’s restructuring plans, many of which require legislative action, cannot currently be estimated.

Risks Related to Market Conditions

The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment tests as of October 31, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. As part of its interim review for indicators of impairment, management analyzed potential changes in value of individual reporting units with goodwill based on each reporting unit’s operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to expected results as of October 31, 2012. In addition, management considered how other key assumptions, including discount rates and expected long-term growth rates, used in the last fiscal year’s impairment analysis, could be impacted by changes in market conditions and economic events. Since October 31, 2012, the market value of the Company’s stock has increased and market yields on the Company’s debt have decreased.

Management considered these trends in performing its assessment of whether an interim impairment review was required for any reporting unit. Based on this interim assessment, management concluded that as of March 31, 2013, no events or changes in circumstances indicated that it was more likely than not that the fair value for any reporting unit had declined below its carrying value. Nevertheless, significant changes in global economic and market conditions could result in changes to expectations of future financial results and key valuation assumptions. These changes could result in revisions of management’s estimates of the fair value of the Company’s reporting units and could result in a material impairment of goodwill prior to October 31, 2013, the Company’s next annual measurement date.

The funded status of the Company’s pension and other postretirement benefits plans is dependent upon many factors, including returns on invested assets and the level of certain market interest rates. Declines in the market value of the securities held by the plans could materially reduce the funded status of the plans. Market conditions may lead to changes in the discount rates used to value the year-end benefit obligations of the plans, which could significantly increase or decrease the funded status of the plans. The Surface Transportation Extension Act (the “Act”), signed into law in July of 2012, includes certain pension-related provisions designed to stabilize interest rates used to calculate the minimum required annual contributions for defined benefit pension plans. The Company anticipates that provisions in the Act will significantly reduce the minimum required annual contributions related to its defined benefit pension plans over the next few years, though these contributions are dependent on many factors, including returns on invested assets and discount rates used to determine the pension obligations. Based on current estimates, the Company expects to make required cash contributions of $23.1 million to its pension and other postretirement benefits plans in 2013 and approximately $85 million in 2014.

Consolidated

Net sales of products for the three months ended March 31, 2013 decreased $66.8 million, or 3.0%, to $2,129.7 million versus the same period in 2012, including a $2.4 million, or 0.1%, decrease due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Net sales of products decreased primarily due to a decline in pro forma sales (see Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) in the U.S. Print and Related Services segment as a result of lower volume in magazines, catalogs and retail inserts and commercial print, the $19.8 million prior year adjustment to net sales to correct for an over-accrual of rebates due to certain office products customers, price pressures and lower pass-through paper sales. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in sales in the International segment resulting from higher volume in Asia and Global Turnkey Solutions, increased pass-through paper sales in Asia and Europe and an increase in capital markets transactions activity.

Net sales from services for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased $80.4 million, or 24.5%, to $408.8 million versus the same period in 2012, including a $0.3 million, or 0.1%, decrease due to changes in foreign exchange rates. Most of the net sales increase from services was due to the acquisitions of Presort and XPO. Net sales from services also increased as a result of higher freight brokerage services volume, partially offset by the decline in compliance volume in financial services.

Products gross profit decreased $32.2 million to $461.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 versus the same period in 2012 primarily due to the prior year rebate adjustment, price pressures, lower volume in magazines, catalogs and retail

inserts, commercial print and books and directories, wage inflation in Latin America and Asia and lower recoveries on print-related by-products, partially offset by higher volume in Asia, reduced healthcare costs due to favorable claims experience and headcount reductions, the suspension of the Company’s 401(k) match and cost savings from restructuring activities. Products gross margin decreased from 22.5% to 21.7%, reflecting the prior year rebate adjustment, price pressures and wage inflation in Latin America and Asia.

Services gross profit increased $10.6 million to $96.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 versus the same period in 2012 primarily due to higher logistics volume as a result of the acquisitions of XPO and Presort and higher freight brokerage services volume, reduced healthcare costs due to favorable claims experience and headcount reductions and the suspension of the Company’s 401(k) match, partially offset by lower compliance volume in financial services, price pressures in premedia and wage inflation in business process outsourcing. Services gross margin decreased from 26.3% to 23.7%, reflecting pass-through postage sales from the acquisition of Presort, price declines in premedia and wage inflation in business process outsourcing.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $1.3 million to $282.2 million, and from 11.2% to 11.1% as a percentage of net sales, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 versus the same period in 2012 reflecting lower incentive compensation expense, reduced healthcare costs due to favorable claims experience and headcount reductions, the suspension of the Company’s 401(k) match and cost savings from restructuring activities, largely offset by a decline in pension and other postretirement benefits plan income and wage inflation in Latin America and Asia.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded net restructuring and impairment charges of $22.7 million compared to $50.0 million in the same period in 2012. In 2013, these charges included $8.8 million of employee termination costs for 393 employees, of whom 127 were terminated as of March 31, 2013. These charges were the result of the closing of two manufacturing facilities within the U.S. Print and Related Services segment and the reorganization of certain operations. Additionally, the Company incurred lease termination and other restructuring charges of $9.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, including charges related to multi-employer pension plan withdrawal obligations. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company also recorded $4.1 million of impairment charges primarily related to buildings and machinery and equipment associated with the facility closings.

Restructuring charges for the three months ended March 31, 2012 included $36.8 million of employee termination costs for 1,365 employees, substantially all of whom were terminated as of March 31, 2013. These charges were primarily the result of the reorganization of sales and administrative functions across all segments, as well as two manufacturing facility closures within the U.S. Print and Related Services segment, one manufacturing facility closure within the International segment and the reorganization of certain operations. Additionally, the Company incurred lease termination and other restructuring charges of $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The Company also recorded $9.3 million of impairment charges primarily related to machinery and equipment associated with the facility closings for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Depreciation and amortization decreased $11.4 million to $113.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to the impairment of $158.0 million of other intangible assets in the fourth quarter of 2012 and the impact of lower capital spending in recent years compared to historical levels. Depreciation and amortization included $16.3 million and $24.3 million of amortization of other intangible assets related to customer relationships, patents, trademarks, licenses and agreements and trade names for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Income from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $139.8 million, an increase of 15.2% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase was due to lower restructuring and impairment charges, reduced depreciation and amortization expense, lower healthcare costs due to favorable claims experience and headcount reductions, lower incentive compensation expense and the suspension of the Company’s 401(k) match, partially offset by the prior year rebate adjustment, price pressures, lower volume in certain products, wage inflation in Latin America and Asia and a decline in pension and other postretirement benefits plan income.

Net interest expense increased by $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 versus the same period in 2012, primarily due to higher average interest rates on senior notes, largely offset by lower average credit facility borrowings and associated fees.

Net investment and other expense (income) for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was expense of $3.5 million and income of $1.2 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded a $3.2 million loss related to the devaluation of the Venezuelan currency.

Loss on debt extinguishment for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $35.6 million related to the premiums paid, unamortized debt issuance costs and other expenses due to the repurchase of $173.5 million of the 6.125% senior notes due January 15, 2017, $130.2 million of the 8.60% senior notes due August 15, 2016 and $50.0 million of the 7.25% senior notes due May 15, 2018. Loss on debt extinguishment for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $12.1 million due to the repurchase of $341.8 million of the 4.95% senior notes due April 1, 2014 and $100.0 million of the 5.50% senior notes due May 15, 2015. The loss consisted of $23.2 million related to the premiums paid, unamortized debt issuance costs and other expenses, partially offset by the elimination of $11.1 million of the fair value adjustment on the 4.95% senior notes.

Income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests was a loss of $1.8 million and income of $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the devaluation of the Venezuelan currency resulted in a $1.0 million loss attributable to noncontrolling interests.

Net earnings attributable to RR Donnelley common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $27.1 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared to $37.4 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2012. In addition to the factors described above, the per share results reflect an increase in weighted average diluted shares outstanding of 2.5 million.

catalogs and retail inserts and commercial print, the $19.8 million prior year adjustment to net sales to correct for an over-accrual of rebates due to certain office products customers, price pressures and decreases in pass-through paper sales, partially offset by an increase in logistics and variable print volume, primarily due to acquisitions. An analysis of net sales by reporting unit follows:

 

Magazines, catalogs and retail inserts: Sales declined due to reduced volume in magazines, catalogs and retail inserts, continued price pressures and decreases in pass-through paper sales.

 

Variable print: Sales increased as a result of the acquisition of Meisel and higher direct mail volume, partially offset by lower print and fulfillment and statement printing volume and price declines.

 

Books and directories: Sales decreased primarily as a result of lower volume in directories and consumer books and a decline in pass-through paper sales, partially offset by favorable pricing for books and directories.

 

Logistics: Sales increased primarily due to pass-through postage sales from the Presort acquisition, the acquisition of XPO and higher freight brokerage services, international mail services, print logistics and courier services volume.

 

Financial print: Sales decreased due to lower compliance and investment management volume, partially offset by sales resulting from the acquisition of Edgar Online and an increase in capital markets transactions activity.

 

Forms and labels: Sales decreased due to lower volume in forms, as well as price pressures on both forms and labels, partially offset by higher volume in labels.

 

Commercial: Sales decreased due to lower volume from existing customers, partially offset by higher pass-through print management volume.

 

Office products: Sales decreased as a result of the prior year rebate adjustment and a decline in outsourced, note taking, filing and forms products volume, partially offset by an increase in binder products volume.

 

Premedia: Sales decreased due to price pressures on contract renewals, partially offset by higher photography services volume.

U.S. Print and Related Services segment income from operations increased $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, mainly driven by lower restructuring and impairment charges, reduced depreciation and amortization expense, lower incentive compensation expense and cost savings from restructuring activities, partially offset by the prior year rebate adjustment, lower volume in magazines, catalogs and retail inserts, books and directories and commercial print and price pressures. Operating margins increased from 7.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 to 7.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2013, due to lower restructuring and impairment charges, lower depreciation and amortization expense and lower incentive compensation expense, partially offset by the rebate adjustment, price declines and increased pass-through postage sales.

The net sales increase is due to higher volume in Asia and Global Turnkey Solutions, higher pass-through paper sales in Asia and Europe and an increase in capital markets transactions activity, partially offset by lower pass-through sales in print management, decreased sales to existing customers in business process outsourcing, price pressures and the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates.

Asia: Sales increased due to higher volume in packaging products and technology manuals, higher book export volume, increased pass-through paper sales and an increase in capital markets transactions activity, partially offset by price pressures.

 

Business process outsourcing: Sales decreased due to lower pass-through sales in print management, lower volume from existing customers and lower real estate outsourcing services volume, partially offset by volume from new customers.

 

Europe: Sales increased due to higher retail inserts and magazine volume, an increase in print and packaging volume, higher pass-through paper sales, changes in foreign exchange rates and an increase in capital markets transactions activity, partially offset by a decline in directories and technology manuals volume.

 

Latin America: Sales decreased due to changes in foreign exchange rates, price pressures in Mexico and Venezuela and volume declines in certain other countries, partially offset by higher catalog and magazine volume in Mexico, higher forms and commercial volume in Venezuela and an increase in capital markets transactions activity.

 

Global Turnkey Solutions: Sales increased due to higher prices for pass-through components, volume increases from new customers and changes in foreign exchange rates, partially offset by lower volume from existing customers and price pressures.

 

Canada: Sales decreased due to lower forms and labels and commercial volume and changes in foreign exchange rates, partially offset by increases in statement printing volume and capital markets transactions activity.

Income from operations increased $1.5 million primarily due to higher volume in Asia and Latin America, lower restructuring and impairment expense and an increase in capital markets transactions activity, partially offset by wage inflation in Latin America and Asia and price pressures. Operating margins remained constant at 4.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012, reflecting higher volume in certain products and services, lower restructuring and impairment expense and lower pass-through sales in print management, offset by wage inflation and price pressures.

Corporate operating expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2013 were $37.3 million, a decrease of $11.1 million compared to the same period in 2012. The decrease was driven by the suspension of the Company’s 401(k) match, reduced healthcare costs due to favorable claims experience and headcount reductions and lower restructuring and impairment charges, partially offset by lower pension and other postretirement benefits plan income.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The following describes the Company’s cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Cash Flows From Operating Activities

Operating cash inflows are largely attributable to sales of the Company’s products and services. Operating cash outflows are largely attributable to recurring expenditures for raw materials, labor, rent, interest, taxes and other operating activities.

Net cash used in operating activities was $95.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $52.0 million for the same period in 2012. The increase in net cash used in operating activities reflected higher supplier payments in the first quarter of 2013 due to timing, partially offset by lower payments related to incentive compensation, the 2013 suspension of the Company’s 401(k) match and lower pension and other postretirement benefit plan contributions.

Cash Flows From Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $33.1 million compared to $46.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Capital expenditures were $37.9 million during the first quarter of 2013, a decrease of $7.4 million as compared to the same period of 2012. The Company expects that capital expenditures for 2013 will be approximately $200 million to $225 million, compared to $205.9 million in 2012.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $3.7 million compared to $52.0 million in the same period in 2012. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company received proceeds of $447.8 million from the issuance of 7.875% senior notes due March 15, 2021, which were used to repurchase $173.5 million of the 6.125% senior notes due January 15, 2017, $130.2 million of the 8.60% senior notes due August 15, 2016 and $50.0 million of the 7.25% senior notes due May 15, 2018. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, proceeds from borrowings under the Company’s previous $1.75 billion revolving credit agreement (the “Previous Credit Agreement”) of $262.0 million were used to pay $158.6 million of the 5.625% senior notes that matured during the quarter. The Company received proceeds of $450.0 million from the issuance of 8.25%

senior notes due March 15, 2019, which, along with cash on hand, were used to repurchase $341.8 million of the 4.95% senior notes due April 1, 2014 and $100.0 million of the 5.50% senior notes due May 15, 2015, during the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Dividends

On January 10, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.26 per common share payable to RR Donnelley shareholders of record on January 25, 2013, and the total amount of $46.9 million was paid on March 1, 2013. On April 11, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.26 per common share payable on June 3, 2013 to RR Donnelley shareholders of record on April 26, 2013.

LIQUIDITY

The Company believes it has sufficient liquidity to support its ongoing operations and to invest in future growth to create value for its shareholders. Operating cash flows and the Credit Agreement are the Company’s primary sources of liquidity and are expected to be used for, among other things, payment of interest and principal on the Company’s long term debt obligations, capital expenditures as necessary to support productivity improvement and growth, completion of restructuring programs, acquisitions and distributions to shareholders that may be approved by the Board of Directors.

Cash and cash equivalents of $302.9 million as of March 31, 2013 included $61.1 million in the U.S. and $241.8 million at international locations. In 2013, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are expected to make intercompany payments to the U.S. of approximately $40 million from foreign cash balances as of March 31, 2013. These payments, and additional payments up to approximately $340 million expected to be made in future years, will be made in satisfaction of intercompany obligations. The Company has recognized deferred tax liabilities of $5.1 million as of March 31, 2013 related to local withholding taxes on certain foreign earnings that are not considered to be permanently reinvested. Certain other cash balances of foreign subsidiaries may be subject to U.S. or local country income or withholding taxes if repatriated to the U.S. In addition, repatriation of some foreign cash balances is further restricted by local laws. Management regularly evaluates whether foreign cash balances are expected to be permanently reinvested. This evaluation requires judgment about the future operating and liquidity needs of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. Changes in economic and business conditions, foreign or U.S. tax laws, or the Company’s financial situation could result in changes to these judgments and the need to record additional tax liabilities.

The Company has a $1.15 billion senior secured revolving Credit Agreement which expires October 15, 2017. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a base or Eurocurrency rate plus an applicable margin determined at the time of the borrowing. In addition, the Company pays facility commitment fees. The applicable margin and rate for the facility commitment fees are set at agreed-upon pricing levels until April 15, 2013 and will thereafter fluctuate dependent on the Credit Agreement’s credit ratings. The Credit Agreement is used for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions and letters of credit. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by its material domestic subsidiaries and are secured by a pledge of the equity interests of certain subsidiaries, including most of its domestic subsidiaries, and a security interest in substantially all of the domestic current assets and mortgages of certain domestic real property of the Company.

The Credit Agreement is subject to a number of covenants, including a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio and a maximum Leverage Ratio, as defined 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 and may also limit the use of proceeds. There were no borrowings under the Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2013. Based on the Company’s results of operations for the twelve months ended March 31, 2013 and existing debt, the Company would have had the ability to utilize $1.1 billion of the $1.15 billion Credit Agreement and not have been in violation of the terms of the agreement.

The current availability as of March 31, 2013 under the Credit Agreement is shown in the table below:

The Company was in compliance with its debt covenants as of March 31, 2013, and expects to remain in compliance based on management’s estimates of operating and financial results for 2013 and the foreseeable future. However, continuing declines in market and economic conditions or demand for certain of the Company’s products and services could impact the Company’s ability to remain in compliance with its debt covenants in future periods. As of March 31, 2013, the Company met all the conditions required to borrow under the Credit Agreement and management expects the Company to continue to meet the applicable borrowing conditions.

The failure of a financial institution supporting the Credit Agreement would reduce the size of the Company’s committed facility unless a replacement institution were added. Currently, the Credit Agreement is supported by fifteen U.S. and international financial institutions.

The Company also had $174.6 million in credit facilities outside the U.S. as of March 31, 2013, most of which were uncommitted. As of March 31, 2013, the Company had $71.5 million in outstanding letters of credit, of which $38.9 million were issued under the Credit Agreement.

On August 1, 2012, Standard & Poor’s Rating Services (“S&P”) lowered the Company’s long-term corporate credit and senior unsecured debt ratings from BB+ with a negative outlook to BB with a stable outlook. On September 19, 2012, S&P assigned a rating of BBB- to the Credit Agreement. On November 6, 2012, S&P reaffirmed Company’s long-term corporate credit rating of BB and revised the outlook from stable to negative.

On September 19, 2012, Moody’s Investors Service (Moody’s) lowered the Company’s senior unsecured debt ratings from Ba2 to Ba3, assigned a rating of Baa2 to the Credit Agreement and reaffirmed the Company’s long-term corporate family rating of Ba2 with a negative outlook.

 

57  

   

   

   

   

   

   


   

On February 28, 2013, Moody’s and S&P assigned a rating of Ba3 and BB, respectively, to the Company’s new $450.0 million 7.875% senior notes and Moody’s reaffirmed the Company’s long-term corporate family rating and negative outlook.

As a result of the August 1, 2012 downgrade by S&P, the interest rate on the Company’s 11.25% senior notes due February 1, 2019 was increased from 12.0%, as of the June 13, 2012 downgrade by Moody’s, to 12.25%. The September 19, 2012 downgrade by Moody’s further increased the rate on these notes from 12.25% to 12.50%. Subsequent to April 15, 2013, the applicable margin used in the calculation of interest on borrowings under the Credit Agreement and rate for the related facility commitment fees will fluctuate dependent on the Credit Agreement’s credit ratings. The terms and conditions of future borrowings may also be impacted as a result of ratings downgrades.

Acquisitions

During the three months ended December 31, 2012, the Company paid $37.5 million, net of cash acquired, to purchase Presort and Meisel. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company paid $90.1 million, net of cash acquired, to purchase EDGAR Online and XPO. The Company financed these acquisitions with a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under the Credit Agreement and the Previous Credit Agreement.

Debt Issuances

On March 14, 2013, the Company issued $450.0 million of 7.875% senior notes due March 15, 2021. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on September 15, 2013. The net proceeds from the offering were used to repurchase $173.5 million of the 6.125% senior notes due January 15, 2017, $130.2 million of the 8.60% senior notes due August 15, 2016 and $50.0 million of the 7.25% senior notes due May 15, 2018 and to reduce borrowings under the Credit Agreement.

On March 13, 2012, the Company issued $450.0 million of 8.25% senior notes due March 15, 2019. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on September 15, 2012. The net proceeds from the offering and cash on hand were used to repurchase $341.8 million of the 4.95% senior notes due April 1, 2014 and $100.0 million of the 5.50% senior notes due May 15, 2015.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its variable debt and price risk on its fixed-rate debt. At March 31, 2013, the Company’s exposure to rate fluctuations on variable-interest borrowings was $681.7 million, including $658.0 million notional value of interest rate swap agreements (See Note 15, Derivatives , to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) and $23.7 million in borrowings under international credit facilities and other long-term debt. Including the effect of the fixed to floating interest rate swaps, approximately 81% of the Company’s outstanding term debt was comprised of fixed-rate debt as of March 31, 2013.

The Company is exposed to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations in certain countries in which it operates. The exposure to foreign currency movements is limited in many countries because the operating revenues and expenses of its various subsidiaries and business units are substantially in the local currency of the country in which they operate. To the extent that borrowings, sales, purchases, revenues, expenses or other transactions are not in the local currency of the subsidiary, the Company is exposed to currency risk and may enter into foreign exchange spot and forward contracts to hedge the currency risk. As of March 31, 2013, the aggregate notional amount of outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts was approximately $515.6 million (see Note 15, Derivatives , to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). Net unrealized losses from these foreign exchange forward contracts were $4.1 million at March 31, 2013. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

The Company assesses market risk based on changes in interest rates utilizing a sensitivity analysis that measures the potential loss in earnings, fair values and cash flows based on a hypothetical 10% change in interest rates. Using this sensitivity analysis, such

 

58  

   

   

   

   

   

   


   

changes would not have a material effect on interest income or expense and cash flows and would change the fair values of fixed rate debt at March 31, 2013 by approximately $102.6 million.

Exhibit 10.20

R.R. DONNELLEY & SONS COMPANY

PERFORMANCE UNIT AWARD (2012 PIP)

This Performance Unit Award (“Award”) is granted as of March 1, 2013 (the “Grant Date”), by R. R. Donnelley & Sons Company (the “Company”) to XXXXXXXXX (“Grantee”).

1. Grant of Award . This Award is in recognition of your hard work and dedication over the last several years and is granted as an incentive for the Grantee to remain an employee of the Company and share in the future success of the Company. The Company hereby credits to Grantee XXXXX stock units (the “Performance Units”), subject to the restrictions and on the terms and conditions set forth herein. This Award is made pursuant to the provisions of the R. R. Donnelley & Sons Company 2012 Performance Incentive Plan (“2012 PIP”). Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the 2012 PIP. Grantee shall indicate acceptance of this Award by signing and returning a copy hereof.

 

2.

Determination of Achievement; Distribution of Award .

(a) The number of shares of common stock, par value $1.25 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) payable in respect of the Performance Units will be determined based on the attainment of Cumulative Free Cash Flow against the “Cumulative Free Cash Flow Matrix” as shown on Attachment A hereto. Promptly following the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (or promptly following such earlier date as of which, pursuant to Section 4 hereof, to be made), the Committee (as defined in the 2012 PIP) shall determine the attainment against the Cumulative Free Cash Flow Matrix of the Company’s Cumulative Free Cash Flow.

(b) Distribution with respect to this Award shall be made to Grantee as soon as practicable following the determination described in (a) above but no later than 60 days thereafter. Distribution of this Award may be made in Common Stock, cash (based upon the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of distribution) or any combination thereof as determined by the Committee.

 

3.

Dividends; Voting .

(a) No dividends or dividend equivalents will accrue with respect to the Performance Units.

(b) Grantee shall have no rights to vote shares of common stock represented by the Performance Units unless and until distribution with respect to this Award is made in Common Stock pursuant to paragraph 2(b) above.

 

4.

Treatment upon Separation or Termination .

(a) Notwithstanding any other agreement with Grantee to the contrary, if Grantee terminates his employment for Good Reason (as defined in the Grantee’s employment agreement) or the Company terminates the Grantee’s employment without Cause (as defined in the Grantee’s employment agreement) the Performance Units shall vest and be payable, if at all, on the same terms and conditions that would have applied had Grantee’s employment not terminated (i.e., performance measured on December 31, 2015).

(b) Notwithstanding any other agreement with Grantee to the contrary, if Grantee’s employment terminates by reason of death or Disability (as defined as “total and permanent” disability under the Company’s long-term disability plan for senior executives), fifty percent of any unvested Performance Units shall vest and become payable, assuming the attainment of target performance (100% achievement) or, if greater, based on actual performance through the date of death or determination of Disability.

(c) If Grantee’s employment terminates by reason of retirement on or after age 65 or by reason of a Qualifying Retirement (together, “Retirement”), a pro-rated portion of the Performance Units shall vest and be payable, if at all, on the same terms and conditions that would have applied had Grantee’s employment not terminated (i.e., performance measured on December 31, 2014). The pro-rated portion of the Performance Units shall be determined by multiplying the total number of Performance Units by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of days between March 1, 2013 and the date of Grantee’s termination by reason of Retirement and the denominator of which is 1035. A “Qualifying Retirement” is defined as

(i) Grantee is an active participant in a Company sponsored retirement benefit plan and is eligible to commence benefits thereunder at the time of cessation of employment and the Company has not terminated Grantee’s employment for cause (a Grantee that is a participant in the Retirement Benefit Plan of R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company (the “RR Donnelley Pension Plan”) is eligible to commence benefits under the plan if Grantee is eligible to commence benefits under the traditional formula of the RR Donnelley Pension Plan, or would have been eligible to commence benefits under the traditional formula of the RR Donnelley Pension Plan had Grantee been a participant in the traditional formula of the RR

 

   


Donnelley Pension Plan during his or her service with R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company and/or any subsidiary at the time of cessation of employment);

(ii) Grantee is not an active participant in a Company sponsored retirement benefit plan but Grantee would have been eligible to commence benefits under the traditional formula of the RR Donnelley Pension Plan had Grantee been a participant in the traditional formula of the RR Donnelley Pension Plan during his or her service with the Company and/or any subsidiary at the time of cessation of employment; or

(iii) a cessation of employment that the Committee determines is a Qualifying Retirement.

(d) Notwithstanding any other agreement with Grantee to the contrary, if Grantee’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause or is terminated by Grantee other than for Good Reason or by reason of Retirement, any unvested Performance Units shall be forfeited.

5. Treatment upon Change in Control . Notwithstanding anything provided in the 2012 PIP or any other agreement with Grantee to the contrary, upon the Acceleration Date associated with a Change in Control, all of the Performance Units shall vest and become payable at the fifty percent payout level with respect to that number of shares of Common Stock that would be payable or, if greater, based on actual performance through the Change in Control Date.

 

6.

Withholding Taxes

(a) As a condition precedent to the issuance to Grantee of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Award, the Grantee shall, upon request by the Company, pay to the Company such amount of cash as the Company may be required, under all applicable federal, state, local or other laws or regulations, to withhold and pay over as income or other withholding taxes (the “Required Tax Payments”) with respect to the Award. If Grantee shall fail to advance the Required Tax Payments after request by the Company, the Company may, in its discretion, deduct any Required Tax Payments from any amount then or thereafter payable by the Company to Grantee.

(b) Grantee may elect to satisfy his obligation to advance the Required Tax Payments by any of the following means: (1) a cash payment to the Company, (2) delivery to the Company of previously owned whole shares of Stock for which Grantee has good title, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, having a fair market value, determined as of the date the obligation to withhold or pay taxes first arises in connection with the Award (the “Tax Date”), equal to the Required Tax Payments, or (3) directing the Company to withhold a number of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to Grantee pursuant to this Award having a fair market value, determined as of the Tax Date, equal to the Required Tax Payments or any combination of (1)-(3). Any fraction of a share of Common Stock that would be required to satisfy such an obligation shall be disregarded and the remaining amount due shall be paid in cash by Grantee. No certificate representing a share of Common Stock shall be delivered until the Required Tax Payments have been satisfied in full. For purposes of this Award, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on a specified date shall be determined by reference to the closing stock price in trading of the Common Stock on such date, or, if no such trading in the Common Stock occurred on such date, then on the next preceding date when such trading occurred.

 

7.

Miscellaneous

(a) The Company shall pay all original issue or transfer taxes with respect to the issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock pursuant hereto and all other fees and expenses necessarily incurred by the Company in connection therewith, and will use reasonable efforts to comply with all laws and regulations which, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, shall be applicable thereto.

(b) Nothing in this Award shall confer upon Grantee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any other company that is controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Company or to interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate Grantee’s employment at any time.

(c) No interest shall accrue at any time on this Award or the Performance Units.

(d) This Award shall be governed in accordance with the laws of the state of Illinois.

(e) This Award shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor or successors to the Company.

(f) Neither this Award nor the Performance Units nor any rights hereunder or thereunder may be transferred or assigned by Grantee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to beneficiary designation procedures approved by the Company or other procedures approved by the Company. Any other transfer or attempted assignment, pledge or hypothecation, whether or not by operation of law, shall be void.

2  

   


(g) The Committee, as from time to time constituted, shall have the right to determine any questions that arise in connection with this Agreement or the Performance Units. This Agreement and the Performance Units are subject to the provisions of the Plan and shall be interpreted in accordance therewith.

(h) If there is any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Award and the terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement shall control.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Award to be duly executed by its duly authorized officer.

Free Cash Flow shall be adjusted by the Committee, as it shall deem reasonably necessary and appropriate, to avoid any increase or diminution in the opportunity conveyed by the Performance Units that could result from (i) (whether at the time of or subsequent to) any acquisition or disposition of any business or division (whether by merger, stock purchase or sale, sale or purchase of assets, or otherwise) made by the Company or (ii) other significant events that in the Committee’s judgment have caused an increase or diminution in the opportunity conveyed by the Performance units (including, but not limited to, significant changes in financial or capital structure, significant regulatory changes, or significant changes in tax laws).

“Cumulative Free Cash Flow” shall equal the sum of the Free Cash Flow amounts for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015.

“Financial Statements” shall mean the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the applicable year.

(b) Grantee acknowledges and agrees that any injury to the Company’s customer relationships, or the loss of those relationships, would cause irreparable harm to the Company.

(c) Grantee shall not, while employed by the Company and for a period of two years following Separation from Service Grantee’s Separation from Service for any reason, including Separation from Service initiated by the Company with or without cause, either directly or indirectly solicit, induce or encourage any individual who was a Company employee at the time of, or within six months prior to, Grantee’s Separation from Service, to terminate their employment with the Company or accept employment with any entity, including but not limited to a competitor, supplier or customer of the Company, nor shall Grantee cooperate with any others in doing or attempting to do so. As used herein, the term “solicit, induce or encourage” includes, but is not limited to, (i) initiating communications with a Company employee relating to possible employment, (ii) offering bonuses or other compensation to encourage a Company employee to terminate his or her employment with the Company and accept employment with any entity, including but not limited to a competitor, supplier or customer of the Company, or (iii) referring Company employees to personnel or agents employed by any entity, including but not limited to competitors, suppliers or customers of the Company.

7. Miscellaneous.

(a) Nothing in this Award shall confer upon Grantee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any other company that is controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Company or to interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate Grantee’s employment at any time.

(b) This Award shall be governed in accordance with the laws of the state of Delaware.

(c) This Award shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor or successors to the Company.

(d) Neither this Award nor any rights hereunder may be transferred or assigned by Grantee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to beneficiary designation procedures approved by the Company or other procedures approved by the Company. Any other transfer or attempted assignment, pledge or hypothecation, whether or not by operation of law, shall be void.

(e) The Committee, as from time to time constituted, shall have the right to determine any questions which arise in connection with this Agreement. This Agreement and the Award are subject to the provisions of the 2012 PIP and shall be interpreted in accordance therewith.

(f) If there is any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Award and the terms and conditions of Grantee’s employment agreement, employment letter or other similar agreement, the terms and conditions of such agreement shall control.


(g) This Award is intended to comply with section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations promulgated thereunder. This Award shall be administered and interpreted to the extent possible in a manner consistent with the intent expressed in this paragraph. If any compensation or benefits provided by this Award may result in the application of section 409A of the Code, the Company shall, in consultation with you, modify this Award as necessary in order to exclude such compensation from the definition of “deferred compensation” within the meaning of such section 409A of the Code or in order to comply with the provisions of section 409A of the Code. By signing this Agreement you acknowledge that if any amount paid or payable to you becomes subject to section 409A of the Code, you are solely responsible for the payment of any taxes and interest due as a result.

Dear Drew:

The purpose of this letter is to amend and restate in its entirety the employment agreement dated October 29, 2007 between you and R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company (“Donnelley” or “Company”) to bring the terms of the employment agreement into compliance with section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). All capitalized terms used but not defined in the text of this agreement (“Agreement”) shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Annex A.

The terms of this Agreement are as follows:

 

1.

Title and Responsibilities . You will continue to serve as Senior Vice President, Controller in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement as well as any employment and other policies applicable to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries from time to time during the term of your employment. You will have the customary duties, responsibilities and authorities of such position. You will also receive such office, staffing and other assistance as is commensurate with that received by other executives at your level in the Company.

 

2.

Employment at Will . You and we hereby acknowledge that your employment with the Company constitutes “at-will” employment and that either party may terminate your employment at any time upon written notice of termination within a reasonable period of time before the effective date of your Separation from Service.

 

3.

Compensation . You will receive the following compensation and benefits, from which the Company may withhold any amounts required by applicable law.

 

a.

Base Salary . The Company will pay you a base salary (“Base Salary”) at the rate of $300,000 per year. This Base Salary will be paid in accordance with the normal payroll practices of the Company.

 

b.

Annual Bonus . In respect of each calendar year of the Company, you will be eligible to receive an annual bonus (the “Annual Bonus”) in accordance with the Company’s annual incentive compensation plan (“Plan”) with a target bonus opportunity of 75% of Base Salary. The performance objectives for your Annual Bonus with respect to each calendar year will be determined as provided for in the Plan. Any Annual Bonus which you become entitled to receive shall be paid to you no later than the 15 th day of the third month following the end of the calendar year in which the bonus was earned, unless you timely elect to defer all or a portion of such bonus pursuant to the Company’s deferred compensation plan.

 

c.

Vacation . You will be eligible for four weeks vacation annually.

 

d.

Benefits . You will continue to be eligible to participate in the employee benefit plan and programs generally applicable to Donnelley employees.

 

4.

Severance. If your Separation from Service with the Company (and its at least 80% owned subsidiaries and affiliates) is initiated by the Company without Cause, the following will apply:

 

a.

Severance Pay . The Company will pay you an amount equal to one times your Annualized Total Compensation (“Severance Pay”), subject to the prompt execution by you of the Company’s customary release, which amount shall be payable in equal installments on the 15 th and last days of each of the 12 months following the thirtieth (30 th ) day after the date of your Separation from Service (if the 15 th or last day of a month is not a business day, on the closest business day to such day).

 

b.

Benefits . Your medical, dental and vision insurance coverage in effect immediately before the date of your Separation from Service will continue to be available to you under the group health plan continuation coverage laws (“COBRA”) for a period of 18 months following the date of your Separation from Service (the “COBRA Period”). If you elect COBRA coverage, it will be available to you for the first 12 months of the COBRA Period at the same cost your insurance coverage is available to active employees. After the first 12 months of COBRA coverage, the Company will no longer subsidize the cost of your COBRA coverage and, thus, insurance coverage for the remainder of the COBRA Period will be available to you only at the full COBRA rates then in effect. Your short-term and long-term disability, group life insurance and accidental death and dismemberment insurance end on the date of your Separation from Service.


 

c.

Resignations . You shall resign from such offices and directorships, if any, of the Company that you may hold from time to time.

 

d.

Indemnification . Your rights of indemnification under the Company’s organizational documents, any plan or agreement at law or otherwise and your rights thereunder to director’s and officer’s liability insurance coverage for, in both cases, actions as an officer of the Company shall survive your Separation from Service.

 

e.

Section 409A . If you are a “specified employee” within the meaning set forth in the document entitled “409A: Policy of R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company and its Affiliates Regarding Specified Employees” on the date of your Separation from Service, then any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise that (i) become payable as a result of your Separation from Service and (ii) are subject to section 409A of the Code as a result of your Separation from Service shall not be paid until the earlier of (x) the first business day of the sixth month occurring after the month in which the date of your Separation from Service occurs and (y) the date of your death. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, amounts payable to you as a result of your Separation from Service that do not exceed two times the lesser of (i) your annualized compensation based upon your annual rate of Base Salary for the year prior to the year in which the date of your Separation from Service occurs and (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under section 401(a)(17) of the Code in the year in which the date of your Separation from Service occurs may be paid as otherwise scheduled. If any compensation or benefits provided by this Agreement may result in the application of section 409A of the Code, then the Company shall, in consultation with you, modify this Agreement to the extent permissible under section 409A of the Code in the least restrictive manner as necessary to exclude such compensation and benefits from the definition of “deferred compensation” within the meaning of such section 409A of the Code or in order to comply with the provisions of section 409A of the Code. By signing this Agreement you acknowledge that if any amount paid or payable to you becomes subject to section 409A of the Code, you are solely responsible for the payment of any taxes and interest due as a result.

 

5.

You and Donnelley recognize that due to the nature of your employment and relationship with Donnelley, you will have access to and develop confidential business information, proprietary information, and trade secrets relating to the business and operations of Donnelley and its affiliates. You acknowledge that such information is valuable to the business of Donnelley and its affiliates, and that disclosure to, or use for the benefit of, any person or entity other than Donnelley or its affiliates, would cause substantial damage to Donnelley. You further acknowledge that your duties for Donnelley include the opportunity to develop and maintain relationships with Donnelley customers, employees, representatives and agents on behalf of Donnelley, and that access to and development of those close relationships with Donnelley customers render your services special, unique and extraordinary. In recognition that the good will and relationships described herein are assets and extremely valuable to Donnelley, and that loss of or damage to those relationships would destroy or diminish the value of Donnelley, you agree as follows:

 

a.

Noncompetition . In consideration of the covenants and agreements of the Company herein contained, the payments to be made by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the positions of trust and confidence you occupy and have occupied with the Company and the information of a highly sensitive and confidential nature obtained as a result of such positions, you agree that, from the date of your Separation from Service for any reason, including a Separation from Service initiated by Donnelley with or without Cause, and for 12 months thereafter, you will not, directly or indirectly, either as an employee, employer, consultant, agent, principal, partner, stockholder, corporate officer, director or in any other individual or representative capacity, worldwide, engage in any business which is competitive with the business of Donnelley. You may, however, own stock or the rights to own stock in a company covered by this paragraph that is publicly owned and regularly traded on any national exchange or in the over-the-counter market, so long as your holdings of stock or rights to own stock do not exceed the lesser of (i) 1% of the capital stock entitled to vote in the election of directors and (ii) the combined value of the stock or rights to acquire stock does not exceed your gross annual earnings from the Company.

 

b.

Importance of Customer Relationships .

As a result of your position and customer contacts, you recognize that you will gain valuable information about (i) Donnelley’s relationship with its customers, their buying habits, special needs, purchasing policies (ii) the skills, capabilities and other employment-related information about Donnelley employees, and (iii) other matters which you would not otherwise know and which is not otherwise readily available. Such knowledge is essential to the business of Donnelley and you recognize that your Separation from Service shall require Donnelley to rebuild that customer relationship to retain the customer’s business. You recognize that during a period following your Separation from Service, Donnelley is entitled to protection from your using the information and customer and employee relationships with which you have been entrusted by Donnelley during your employment.

d.

Nonsolicitation of Employees . You shall not while employed by Donnelley and for a period of two years from the date of your Separation from Service with Donnelley for any reason, including your Separation from Service initiated by Donnelley, with or without Cause, either directly or indirectly solicit, induce or encourage any Donnelley employee(s) to terminate their employment with Donnelley or to accept employment with any entity, including but not limited to a competitor, supplier or customer of Donnelley, nor shall you cooperate with any others in doing or attempting to do so. As used herein, the term “solicit, induce or encourage” includes, but is not limited to, (a) initiating communications with a Donnelley employee relating to possible employment, (b) offering bonuses or additional compensation to encourage Donnelley employees to terminate their employment with Donnelley and accept employment with a competitor, supplier or customer of Donnelley, or (c) referring Donnelley employees to personnel or agents employed by competitors, suppliers or customers of Donnelley.

g.

Company ’s Right to Injunctive Relief .

Exhibit 10.32

RR Donnelley

Management By Objective Plan

(As amended and restated effective April 10, 2013)

OVERVIEW

The RR Donnelley Management By Objective Plan (the “Management By Objective Plan” or the “Plan”) is designed to promote the growth and profitability of RR Donnelley and its subsidiaries with incentives to reward and enhance the retention of eligible employees. Awards are made depending on the Company’s financial performance and on how well an eligible employee performs against individual objectives that link to and support RR Donnelley’s strategic and financial priorities.

The Plan is a sub-plan of the R. R. Donnelley & Sons Company 2012 Performance Incentive Plan (the “2012 PIP”) and is subject to all of the performance conditions established pursuant to the 2012 PIP and the limitations set forth therein. With respect to participants who are subject to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”), to the extent that any term of the Plan conflicts with the terms of the 2012 PIP, the terms of the 2012 PIP will apply.

The Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) administers the Plan. The Committee has authority to establish rules and regulations for the Plan’s implementation and administration, including the authority to impose limitations and conditions, with respect to competitive employment or otherwise, that are not inconsistent with the Plan’s purposes.

PARTICIPATION

Eligibility is limited to officers selected by the Committee and other key employees designated in writing annually by the Chief Human Resources Officer.

TARGET AWARD PERCENTAGE AND PLAN FUNDING

Each eligible participant’s target incentive opportunity under the Management By Objective Plan is a percentage of such participant’s base salary as of December 31 of the Plan Year, or such other amount as determined by the Committee. This is referred to as the “Target Award Percentage” and will be communicated to eligible participants annually. Eligible wages do not include disability benefit payments. The “Plan Year” for any year is the calendar year. The portion of any Target Award Percentage that is dependent upon achievement of personal objectives may vary based on the participant’s level in the Company (the “Personal Objective Percentage”) and will be communicated to eligible participants annually.

Subject to the performance conditions established under the 2012 PIP and the limitations set forth therein, the Company must fund the Plan for a Plan Year for participants to receive an award for that Plan Year. The decision whether or not to fund the Plan for a particular Plan Year, as well as the Plan’s funding level, is made by the Committee in its sole discretion based on financial performance targets set by the Committee, which may not be amended after the end of the Plan Year. Plan funding is based upon the Company’s actual financial performance for the Plan Year against the previously set targets and if the Committee determines that the financial targets have been met the Plan will be funded.

If the Company funds the Plan, awards will be made based upon the Plan’s funding level and the participant’s achievement of his or her personal objectives, up to 125% of the participant’s Target Award Percentage (or such other percentage as determined by the Committee). The Committee will determine the percentage of the participant’s Target Award Percentage to be paid out based upon the participant’s Personal Objective Percentage, achievement of personal objectives and the Plan’s funding level, and such percentages will be communicated to the participant.

Any actual award made under the Management By Objective Plan can range from 0% to 125% of the Target Award Percentage (or such other percentage as determined by the Committee), depending upon the Plan’s funding level, the participant’s Personal Objective Percentage and achievement of the participant’s personal objectives.

PERSONAL OBJECTIVES

Personal objectives are established for each participant each Plan Year to link and support RR Donnelley’s strategic and financial priorities. A participant’s personal objectives are determined each year in consultation with the participant and his or her manager and are communicated to the participant in writing as part of the objective goal-setting process. The portion of any Target Award Percentage that is dependent upon achievement of personal objectives may vary based on the participant’s level in the Company and will be communicated to eligible participants annually. The Committee’s determination of whether a participant has attained, in whole or in part, the participant’s personal objectives for a Plan Year, shall be final and binding.

 

   


AWARD AMOUNT AND PAYMENT

Awards are paid following the Plan Year after the Committee has certified the achievement of performance goals under the 2012 PIP and the Plan funding decisions and personal performance measurements have been made. Except as otherwise provided herein or by the Committee at any time prior to the end of such Plan Year, any award to be paid under the Plan shall be paid to recipients within 2 1 / 2 months after the end of the Plan Year (i.e., by March 15). A participant must be on the payroll of the Company as of the end of the Plan Year (i.e. as of December 31) to receive an award. Special provisions apply to retirees and in the case of a participant’s death or Disability. (Please refer to the Changes in Employment Status section of this document for details.)

The Committee has the discretionary authority prior to the end of the Plan Year to determine to pay any award in installment payments over a specified period of time. The Committee also has discretionary authority to increase or decrease the amount of the award otherwise payable if it determines prior to the end of the Plan Year that an adjustment is appropriate to better reflect the actual performance of the Company and/or the participant; provided, however, that the Committee may not increase the amount of the award payable to a person who is a “covered employee,” as defined in Section 162(m) of the Code, to an amount in excess of the amount earned under the 2012 PIP; provided further, however, the Committee has discretionary authority to decrease the amount of the award otherwise payable at any time for any person designated as an executive officer of the Company for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including after the end of the Plan Year. Additionally, the Committee has discretionary authority to reduce the amount of the award otherwise payable if it determines that any participant engaged in misconduct.

BENEFITS AND TAX TREATMENT

Award payments are subject to applicable deductions, including social security taxes and federal and applicable state and local income tax withholding.

The treatment of award payments as compensation for purposes of other RR Donnelley employee benefits plans is determined by the terms of the applicable plans.

CHANGES IN EMPLOYMENT STATUS

 

A.

PROMOTIONS, DEMOTIONS, TRANSFERS, CHANGES IN ASSIGNMENT

If a participant is promoted, demoted, transferred to or between business units or from corporate during the year, any award payout normally will be calculated by prorating the payouts for each eligible position based on the time assigned to that position.

 

B.
