During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company realigned its reportable segments to reflect changes in the manner in which the chief operating decision maker assesses information for decision-making purposes. All prior amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current reporting structure.

Net sales in the fourth quarter were $1.39 billion, up $8.0 million or 0.6% from the fourth quarter of 2021. The majority of the increase relates to higher client demand for many of the Company’s products and services, and price increases to offset inflationary cost increases. In particular, the Company experienced strong growth in Labels products. Organic net sales increased 2.8%, excluding a negative impact of $30.0 million due to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Income from operations was $229.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to $41.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. During the fourth quarter of 2022, other operating income was $130.6 million compared to expense of $27.6 million in the prior year. Other operating income recorded in the fourth quarter of 2022 included a $134.2 million gain recognized on the completion of the sale of a printing facility in Shenzhen, China and transfer of the related land use rights.

Net income from continuing operations was $130.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $9.8 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2021. The 2022 effective tax rate of 34.0% decreased from 162.4% in the prior year period primarily due to higher earnings relative to the non-deductible tax adjustments.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA of $132.9 million decreased $4.2 million from the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to the impact of lower volume in Asia driven by unusually high demand for export books in the fourth quarter of 2021 and in Supply Chain Solutions, driven by strong demand for COVID test kits in the fourth quarter of 2021. These impacts were partially offset by ongoing cost control initiatives and favorable foreign exchange.

Non-GAAP adjusted net income from continuing operations of $32.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 decreased from $46.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 primarily due to higher income taxes, higher interest expense and lower adjusted income from operations.

Other highlights and information

Cash used in operating activities during the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 was $16.9 million compared to cash provided by operating activities of $92.1 million in the prior year. The increase in cash used is primarily driven by working capital investments due to increased volume, including initiatives to accumulate inventory to better ensure availability for clients, inflation and higher merger related payments.

Capital expenditures during the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 were $74.7 million versus $73.3 million in the prior year.

As of December 31, 2022, cash on hand was $299.9 million, up $19.7 million from December 31, 2021. Total debt outstanding at the end of the quarter was $1.52 billion, up $56.5 million from the prior year end. Availability under the credit facility was $257.6 million at December 31, 2022. Total liquidity, including cash on hand, was $557.5 million.

At December 31, 2022, the Company’s pension and OPEB plans were overfunded by $22.0 million which was below the $42.1 million overfunded amount at December 31, 2021.

During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company completed the sale of its printing facility in Shenzhen, China and recorded a gain of $134.2 million. The Company expects to repatriate the cash from this sale to the US in 2023 and intends to use the proceeds to reduce debt.

During the third quarter of 2022, the Company elected to change its inventory valuation method for inventories previously accounted for using the last-in, first-out method to the first-in, first-out method. The change in inventory valuation method has been retrospectively applied to all periods presented herein. The cumulative effect of this change in accounting principle on periods prior to those presented is reflected as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2020.

Distribution of future earnings releases

As part of its transition to a privately owned company, the Company has publicly issued a press release related to its quarterly earnings and posted the release to its website for each of the quarters in 2022. Beginning with the Company’s results for the first quarter of 2023, the Company expects to no longer issue its results publicly. Instead creditors, investors, clients, suppliers and other parties may submit a request to the Company for access to financial information on the investor relations page on the Company’s website, which may be granted in the Company’s discretion (subject to the requirements of the Company’s contractual commitments and applicable law).

Use of non-GAAP information

This news release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP SG&A, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP effective tax rate, non-GAAP adjusted net income, non-GAAP organic net sales and gross and net leverage ratios. 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. Additional information relating to the adjustments for the non-GAAP SG&A, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP effective tax rate, non-GAAP adjusted net income, non-GAAP organic net sales and gross and net leverage ratios for RRD is set forth in the attached schedules.

Use of forward-looking statements

This news release includes certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, with respect to the business, strategy and plans of the Company and its expectations relating to future financial condition and performance. 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 those in the forward-looking statements and may vary 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 reports to investors and in other investor communications of RRD from time to time. RRD does not undertake to and specifically disclaims any obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect future events or circumstances after the date of such statement or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
