Income from Operations and Operating Cash Flow Both Increase

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company (NYSE: RRD) (“RRD”) today reported financial results for the third quarter of 2018.

“Our third quarter performance was in-line with our expectations as we continue to help our clients create better connections with their customers through the execution of their multichannel marketing and business communications," said Dan Knotts, RRD's President and Chief Executive Officer. “We delivered our fourth consecutive quarter of organic sales growth, made meaningful progress in executing our plans to lower our overall cost structure and delivered improved operating cash flow. We also took an important step to reposition our balance sheet through a successful debt refinancing. As we enter our seasonally strongest quarter, we are well positioned for a solid finish to the year.”

Financial highlights

The following table provides an overview of RRD’s financial performance:


	Q3 2018	Q3 2017	% Change

Income from operations	$60.9 million	$31.8 million	91.5%
Net earnings (loss) attributable to common stockholders	$34.3 million	$(8.0) million	nm
Diluted earnings (loss) per share	$0.49	$(0.11)	nm

Adjusted income from operations - non-GAAP ⁽¹⁾	$67.4 million	$65.6 million	2.7%

Net sales in the quarter were $1.65 billion, down $85.4 million or 4.9% from the third quarter of 2017, which included a decline of $106.4 million related to the sale of the Print Logistics business. On an organic basis, consolidated net sales increased 1.8% primarily driven by higher volume in the Business Services segment.

Gross profit in the third quarter of 2018 was $315.4 million or 19.1% of net sales versus $323.5 million or 18.6% of net sales in the prior year quarter. The favorable impact of cost reduction initiatives was more than offset by unfavorable mix, modest price pressure and the disposition of the Company’s Print Logistics business. In addition, a favorable impact from changes in foreign exchange rates of approximately $5 million was offset by an inventory reserve benefit recorded in 2017.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) of $203.8 million, or 12.4% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2018 decreased from $210.9 million, or 12.2% of net sales, in the prior year. The improvement was primarily due to cost reduction initiatives and favorable exchange rate changes of $8 million, partially offset by higher health care and variable compensation expenses and a favorable legal settlement recorded in 2017.

Income from operations was $60.9 million in the third quarter compared to $31.8 million in the third quarter of 2017. The third quarter of 2018 included pre-tax restructuring and other charges of $11.0 million and a pre-tax gain of $4.5 million related to the sale of the Print Logistics business. The prior year period included pre-tax restructuring and other charges of $33.8 million, including a $21.3 million impairment of goodwill. Non-GAAP income from operations of $67.4 million, or 4.1% of net sales, increased $1.8 million from $65.6 million, or 3.8% of net sales, reported in the prior year period.

Net earnings attributable to common stockholders of $34.3 million in the third quarter compared to net loss of $8.0 million in the third quarter of 2017. The third quarter of 2018 included favorable income tax adjustments of $19.6 million to the provisional amounts recorded at December 31, 2017 for the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The third quarter of 2017 included a loss on debt extinguishments primarily related to the amendment of the Company’s credit agreement and a net gain on investments resulting from a debt-for-equity exchange. Non-GAAP net earnings attributable to common stockholders was $17.7 million, a decrease of $3.4 million compared to $21.1 million in the third quarter of 2017, driven by higher income from operations and lower interest expense, which were more than offset by higher taxes.

Third quarter 2018 diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders was $0.49 compared to diluted loss per share of $0.11 in the third quarter of 2017. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders of $0.25 in 2018 compared to $0.30 reported in 2017.

Other highlights and information

Cash provided by operating activities of $64.1 million in the third quarter of 2018 increased $26.4 million versus the prior year period amount. Cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $63.9 million compared to $3.2 million in the prior year period. The year to date increase primarily related to net unfavorable changes in working capital. Capital expenditures in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were $72.7 million versus $77.2 million in the prior year period and proceeds from dispositions and other asset sales, including non-refundable deposits collected were $100.4 million in 2018.

As of September 30, 2018, cash on hand was $247.0 million and total debt outstanding was $2.18 billion, including $242.0 million drawn against the credit facility. Availability under the credit facility was $445.2 million at September 30, 2018.

On October 15, 2018, the Company issued $550 million of Term Loan B notes, due in 2024. Net proceeds from the issuance were used to retire $430 million of certain notes due in 2020 and 2021 and reduce borrowings under the credit facility by approximately $75 million.

Certain components of the guidance given in the table above are provided on a non-GAAP basis only, without providing a reconciliation to guidance provided on a GAAP basis. Information is presented in this manner, consistent with SEC rules, because the preparation of such a reconciliation could not be accomplished without "unreasonable efforts." The Company does not have access to certain information that would be necessary to provide such a reconciliation, including non-recurring items and other items that are not indicative of the Company's ongoing operations. Such items include, but are not limited to, restructuring charges, impairment charges, pension settlement charges, acquisition-related expenses, gains or losses on investments and business disposals, losses on debt extinguishment, OPEB curtailment and other similar gains or losses not reflective of the Company's ongoing operations. However, the Company expects to record a pre-tax charge of approximately $32 million in the fourth quarter related to the bond tenders announced on October 15, 2018. The above guidance does not reflect the impact of this charge since it will not be reflected in the Company’s non-GAAP results. The Company does not believe that excluding such items is likely to be significant to an assessment of the Company's ongoing operations, given that such excluded items are not believed to be indicators of business performance.

The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, provide useful information about its operating results and enhance the overall ability to assess the Company’s financial performance. These measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. RRD uses these non-GAAP measures, together with other measures of performance under GAAP, to compare the relative performance of operations in planning, budgeting and reviewing the performance of its business.

This news release includes certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of, and subject to the safe harbor created by, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with respect to the business, strategy and plans of the Company and its expectations relating to future financial condition and performance. These statements include all those under the column labeled “Current Guidance October 30, 2018” in the table included under the “2018 Guidance” section. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about RRD’s management’s beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “aims,” “potential,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “considered,” “likely,” “estimate” and variations of these words and similar future or conditional expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. While RRD believes these expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond RRD’s control. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend upon future circumstances that may or may not occur. Actual results may differ materially from RRD’s current expectations depending upon a number of factors affecting the business and risks associated with the performance of the business. These factors include such risks and uncertainties detailed in RRD’s periodic public filings with the SEC, including but not limited to those discussed under the “Risk Factors” section in RRD’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, and other filings with the SEC and in other investor communications of RRD from time to time.
