NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
Office Depot, Inc., including consolidated subsidiaries (Office Depot or the Company), is a leading omni-channel provider of business
services and supplies, products and technology solutions. On November 8, 2017, the Company acquired CompuCom Systems, Inc. (CompuCom), refer to Note 2 for additional discussion about this acquisition. The Company currently operates
under several banners, including Office Depot
®
, OfficeMax
®
and CompuCom
®
and utilizes proprietary company and product brand names. The Companys common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under
the ticker symbol ODP. As of March 31, 2018, the Company had three reportable segments (or Divisions): Business Solutions Division, Retail Division and the CompuCom Division.
In September 2016, the Companys Board of Directors committed to a plan to sell substantially all of the Companys International Division operations
(the International Operations). Accordingly, the Company has presented the International Operations as discontinued operations beginning in the third quarter of 2016. The Company has reclassified the financial results of the
International Operations to Discontinued operations, net of tax in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented. The Company also reclassified the related assets and liabilities as current assets and liabilities of
discontinued operations on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2018, and December 30, 2017. Cash flows from the Companys discontinued operations are presented separately in the Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for all periods. Certain portions of the International Division assets and operations primarily consisting of the Companys global sourcing and trading operations in the Asia/Pacific region are being
retained or did not meet the held for sale criteria and therefore remain in continuing operations, with prior periods adjusted, where appropriate. Additional information on the Companys discontinued operations is provided in Note 4.
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2018, and for the
13-week
period ended
March 31, 2018 (also referred to as the first quarter of 2018) and April 1, 2017 (also referred to as the first quarter of 2017) are unaudited. However, in managements opinion, these Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary to provide a fair presentation of the Companys financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Business acquisitions in
2017 and the first quarter of 2018 lessen the comparability of financial statement periods presented for the Company as results of operations of acquired businesses are included prospectively from the dates of their acquisition.
As a result of the Companys purchase of CompuCom in November 2017, the Companys level of service revenue in the first quarter of 2018 exceeded 10%
of the Companys total revenue and accordingly, revenues and cost of sales from services and products are separately disclosed on the Companys statement of operations. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current
period presentation. Note 6 describes the components of the Companys business included in the product and service categories. In addition, as discussed below, certain amounts have been reclassified due to the Companys adoption of the new
accounting guidance related to the presentation of defined benefit plan expense. These prior period reclassifications did not affect the Companys net income or cash flows.
The Company has prepared the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the SEC). Some information and note disclosures, which would normally be included in comprehensive annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
(GAAP), have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those SEC rules and regulations. For a better understanding of the Company and its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we recommend reading these Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements in conjunction with the audited financial statements which are included in the 2017 Form
10-K.
These interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that should be expected
for the full year.
Cash Management
The cash
management process generally utilizes zero balance accounts which provide for the settlement of the related disbursement and cash concentration accounts on a daily basis. Trade accounts payable and Accrued expenses and other current liabilities as
of March 31, 2018 and December 30, 2017, included $54 million and $53 million, respectively, of amounts not yet presented for payment drawn in excess of disbursement account book balances, after considering offset provisions.
At March 31, 2018, cash and cash equivalents from continuing operations held outside the United States amounted to $137 million. Additionally,
$37 million of cash held outside the United States was included in current assets of discontinued operations.

Restricted Cash
Restricted cash consists primarily of short-term cash term deposits having original maturity dates of twelve months or less that serve as collateral to
certain of the Companys letters of credit. Restricted cash is valued at cost, which approximates fair value. At March 31, 2018, restricted cash amounted to $3 million and is included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in
the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
New Accounting Standards
Standards that are not yet adopted
In February 2016, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an accounting standards update which will require lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets related to the rights and obligations created by those leases. The accounting
treatment for lessors will remain relatively unchanged. The accounting standards update also requires additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures related to the nature, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The guidance
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The initial standard required a modified retrospective transition approach, with application, including
disclosures, in all comparative periods presented. In March 2018, the FASB tentatively approved an amendment to the new guidance that allows companies the option of using the effective date of the new standard as the date of initial application. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this new standard will have on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements but anticipates it will result in significant right of use assets and related liabilities associated with
its operating leases being recorded on its balance sheet. Substantially all of the Companys retail store locations, supply chain facilities, certain corporate facilities and copy print equipment are subject to operating lease arrangements. The
Company will adopt the standard in the first quarter of 2019, and has begun implementing required upgrades to its existing lease systems. The Company is currently compiling an inventory of arrangements containing a lease and accumulating the lease
data necessary to apply the amended guidance.
In February 2018, the FASB issued an accounting standard update to address a specific consequence of the
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. This accounting update allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The standard eliminates the stranded tax
effects that were created as a result of the reduction of the historical U.S. federal corporate income tax rate to the newly enacted U.S. federal corporate income tax rate. The accounting update is effective January 1, 2019, with early adoption
permitted, and is to be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized. The Company is currently
assessing the impact of the new standard on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Standards that were adopted
Revenue recognition
In May 2014, the FASB issued a
new standard that supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance and modifies the accounting for certain costs associated with revenue generation. Under the new standard, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods
or services in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity is entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The standard provides a number of steps to follow to achieve that principle and requires additional financial
statement disclosures related to the nature, timing, amount and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The Company adopted the new revenue standard on the first day of the first quarter of 2018, using the
modified retrospective method, and applied the standard to contracts that were not complete as of the adoption date. As a result of applying this adoption method, the Company recognized a cumulative effect adjustment of $4 million, net of tax,
to its accumulated deficit related to deferral of revenues for its loyalty program as of the first day of the first quarter of 2018.
The most significant
impact of the standard on the Company relates to revenues from sales of third-party software which were previously reported on a gross basis, but are reported on a net basis under the new standard, with no change in timing of recognition or impact
to gross profit, earnings or cash flows. This impact resulted in a reduction in both sales from services and cost of services of $27 million during the first quarter of 2018. The adoption of the standard also resulted in minor changes related
to the timing of revenue recognition associated with the Companys loyalty program due to the impacts of the loyalty program being presented as a deferral of revenues under the new standard rather than as cost of sales accruals under the
previous accounting rules. In addition, the

Companys balance sheet presentation of its sales return reserve has changed to present a separate return asset and liability, instead of the net presentation used in prior periods. The
return asset and liability are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Accrued expenses and other current liabilities, respectively, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Revenue recognition related to all other products and
services remains substantially unchanged.
The following tables summarize the impacts of adopting the new standard on the Companys Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2018 and Statement of Operations for the first quarter of 2018. Adoption of the new standard had no impact to the cash from or used in operating, financing, or investing activities on the
Companys Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

As part of its adoption of the new standard, the Company also implemented new internal controls and key system functionality
to enable the preparation of financial information on adoption. Refer to Note 6 for additional disclosures required as a result of the adoption of this new standard.
Defined benefit plan
In March 2017, the FASB
issued an accounting standards update which changed the income statement presentation of defined benefit plan expense by requiring that an employer report the service cost component of pension costs in the same line item or items as other
compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit pension cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and
outside a subtotal of operating income. The Company adopted the new accounting standards update in the first quarter of 2018. The Company has presented the other components of net periodic benefit cost in Other income, net on the Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Operations, while the service cost component of pension costs continues to be presented in Selling, general and administrative expenses. Adoption of this new accounting standards update required a retrospective
reclassification of $3 million net pension benefit in the first quarter of 2017 from Selling, general and administrative expenses to Other income, net, and did not have an impact on the Companys Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets or
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS
To further the Companys strategic direction to transform into a more business services-driven platform and strengthen its core business operations, the
Company acquired two businesses during the first quarter of 2018. In March 2018, the Company acquired a small independent regional office supply business which is expected to provide the Company with improved access to small and
mid-market
business customers in select geographic markets within the United States across a diverse assortment of product lines, including cleaning and breakroom, technology and printing, furniture and office
supplies. Additionally, in March 2018, the Company acquired an enterprise information technology solutions integrator and managed services provider which is expected to provide the Company with a platform for selling Internet of Things
(IoT) related hardware and projects to the education market. IoT refers to the connection of intelligent systems and devices to allow them to automatically share information so that systems and devices work together to develop and
enhance solutions and reduce human intervention.
The aggregate total purchase consideration, including contingent consideration, for these two
acquisitions was approximately $47 million, subject to certain customary post-closing adjustments. The aggregate purchase price was primarily funded with cash on hand, with the remainder consisting of contingent consideration to be paid in
2019. The acquisitions were treated as purchases in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations (ASC 805) which requires allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair values of assets and liabilities acquired in the
transaction, and include certain amortizing intangible assets and goodwill. The Company has performed its preliminary purchase price allocations of the $47 million aggregate purchase price to the estimated fair values of assets and liabilities
acquired in the transactions, including $8 million of customer relationship intangible assets and $33 million of goodwill. The remaining aggregate purchase price was primarily allocated to working capital accounts. These assets and
liabilities are included in the balance sheet as of March 31, 2018. As additional information is obtained about these assets and liabilities within the measurement period (not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition), the Company will
refine its estimates of fair value to allocate the purchase price. The operating results of the office supply business is combined with the Companys operating results subsequent to its purchase date, and is included in the Business Solutions
Division. The operating results of the technology business is combined with the Companys operating results subsequent to its purchase date, and is included in the CompuCom Division. Certain disclosures set forth under ASC 805, including
supplemental pro forma financial information, are not required because the operating results of the acquired businesses, in the aggregate, are not material to the Company.
On November 8, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of CompuCom by acquiring all of the capital stock of CompuCom for approximately
$937 million, funded with a new
$750 million 5-year term
loan facility, approximately 44 million shares of Office Depot common stock with an approximate market value of
$135 million, and approximately $52 million of cash on hand. CompuCom procures, installs and manages the lifecycle of hardware and software for businesses, and offers IT support services including remote help desk, data centers and
on-site
IT professionals. The Company has performed the preliminary purchase price allocation as of the acquisition date. The preliminary purchase price allocation will be finalized during the measurement period
which will not exceed one year from the acquisition date. Refer to Note 2 in the Companys 2017 Form
10-K
for further information over the preliminary allocation of total purchase consideration for
CompuCom. As the Company has worked to complete the purchase price allocation during the measurement period, certain preliminary values have been adjusted since the acquisition date. These adjustments were insignificant individually and in the
aggregate to the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Under the guidance on accounting for business combinations, merger and integration
costs are not included as components of consideration transferred but are accounted for as expenses in the period in which the costs are incurred. Transaction-related expenses are included in the Merger and restructuring expense, net line in the
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Refer to Note 3 for additional information about the expenses incurred during the first quarter of 2018.
As part of the purchase of CompuCom, the Company acquired a redeemable noncontrolling equity interest in a consolidated subsidiary of CompuCom. In April 2018,
subsequent to the end of the Companys first quarter of 2018, the Company acquired the remaining ownership interest in the subsidiary of CompuCom for cash consideration of $18 million.

NOTE 3. MERGER AND RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITY
In recent years, the Company has taken actions to adapt to changing and competitive conditions. These actions include acquiring businesses, closing facilities,
consolidating functional activities, eliminating redundant positions, disposing of businesses and assets, and taking actions to improve process efficiencies. The expenses and any income recognized directly associated with these actions are included
in Merger and restructuring expenses, net on a separate line in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in order to identify these activities apart from the expenses incurred to sell to and service its customers. These expenses are not
included in the determination of Division operating income. The table below summarizes the major components of Merger and restructuring expenses, net.

Merger and transaction related expenses, net
Included in the 2018 Merger and transaction related expenses, net in the table above are expenses associated with the acquisitions in the first quarter of 2018
and fiscal 2017, including CompuCom. Transaction and integration expenses in 2018 primarily related to legal, accounting, and other third-party costs incurred by the Company associated with the acquisitions and integration of acquired companies.
Such costs are being recognized as incurred. Severance and retention expenses include retention amounts incurred related to the integration of staff functions and are being expensed through the retention period as well as termination benefits
related to certain supply chain integration activities. Also included in the Merger and transaction related expenses, net in the first quarter of 2018 in the table above are $3 million of integration expenses and $3 million of facility
closure costs associated with the 2013 OfficeMax merger.
2017 Merger and transaction related expenses, net, are related to costs associated with the 2013
OfficeMax merger and include a gain of $1 million from the sale of a warehouse facility as part of a supply chain integration plan.
Restructuring
expenses
During 2017, the Company announced a multi-year strategic transformation to pivot from a traditional office product retailer to a broader
omni-channel business services, product and technology provider which included the acquisition of CompuCom. As part of the new strategy, the Company will expand its technology and business service offerings and accelerate the offering of new
subscription-based services, including expanding its service offering to address the needs of small businesses. As part of this multi-year strategic shift, the Company anticipates incurring additional costs over the next few years including
professional fees, severance and other related costs. Included in restructuring expenses in the first quarter of 2018 in the table above are professional fees of $4 million associated with this restructuring plan.
11
OFFICE DEPOT, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited) (Continued)
Restructuring expense in 2017 and $1 million of restructuring costs in the first quarter of 2018 were
associated with the Comprehensive Business Review strategy (the Comprehensive Business Review) announced in August 2016 which included the closure of approximately 300 retail stores in North America over a three-year period, and the
reduction of operating and general and administrative expenses through efficiencies and organizational optimization. The Company incurred approximately $99 million in costs to implement the cost savings programs to date.
Expenses associated with implementing the Comprehensive Business Review include severance, facility closure costs, contract termination, accelerated
depreciation, professional fees, relocation and disposal gains and losses, as well as other costs associated with the store closures. The Company has completed 137 of the planned 300 retail store closures since announcing this initiative. The
Company will continue to
re-evaluate
the store closure program on an annual basis. Severance costs related to planned store closures are being accrued through the anticipated facility closure or termination
date and consider timing, terms of existing severance plans, expected employee turnover and attrition. Restructuring expenses also include severance and reorganization costs associated with reductions in staff functions that continued into 2017.
Merger and Restructuring Accruals
The activity in
the merger and restructuring accruals in the first quarter of 2018 is presented in the table below. Of the total $17 million of expense presented in Merger and restructuring expenses, net in the first quarter of 2018 Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Operations, $6 million is related to Merger and restructuring liabilities and are included as Charges incurred in the table below. The remaining $11 million of expense is comprised of $3 million of Merger transaction and
integration expenses and $8 million in property expenses, professional fees,
non-cash
items and other expenses. These charges are excluded from the table below because they are expensed as incurred, or
otherwise not associated with the merger and restructuring balance sheet accounts.

NOTE 4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In the third quarter of 2016, the Companys Board of Directors approved a plan to sell substantially all of the International Operations through four
disposal groups (Europe, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand, and mainland China). Collectively, these dispositions represented a strategic shift that had a major impact on the Companys operations and financial results and have been
accounted for as discontinued operations. The Company is presenting the operating results and cash flows of these disposal groups within discontinued operations through their respective dates of disposal, including all prior periods. The assets and
liabilities of the disposal groups remaining at the end of each period are presented as current assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Certain portions of the former International Division
assets and operations are being retained and, therefore, remain in continuing operations. The retained global sourcing operations are presented as Other in Note 13, Segment Information.
As of the end of Fiscal 2017, the Company sold its European, South Korean and mainland China businesses. In April 2017, the Company entered into a definitive
sale and purchase agreement to sell the Companys Australian and New Zealand business operations, subject to regulatory approval. In November 2017, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission announced that it would not oppose the sale,
however, the Commerce Commission of New Zealand (the Commerce Commission) filed proceedings in the High Court at Auckland to enjoin the contemplated transaction. As a result of the delay in gaining regulatory approval in New Zealand, in
February 2018, the Company and the purchaser amended the sale and purchase agreement to sell the Australian and New Zealand businesses in two separate transactions.
The sale of the Companys business in Australia was completed on February 5, 2018. The transaction was structured and accounted for as an equity
sale. The Company agreed to provide certain transitional services to the purchaser until the sale of the New Zealand business was settled. Prior to the sale, the Company had recorded an aggregate reduction of $44 million in 2017 and 2016 to the
carrying amount of its Australia Business based on its updated estimates of fair value less cost to sell. The disposition of the business in Australia resulted in a
pre-tax
loss on sale of $1 million
during the first quarter of 2018, which has been reflected in the Net loss on sale of discontinued operations in the table below, resulting in a cumulative loss of $45 million.
The purchaser placed in escrow $7 million in connection with the amendment of the sale and purchase agreement. In addition, the purchaser had previously
paid the Company $8 million in 2017 to extend the original purchase agreement which was to be applied to the purchase price when the transaction was completed or, if not successfully completed, be treated as a break fee. This amount is
presented in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Both the $7 million in escrow and the previous $8 million received by the Company will be applied to the purchase price of New
Zealand when the transaction is completed. In April 2018, subsequent to the end of the Companys first quarter of 2018, the Commerce Commission withdrew its objection to the sale of the Companys New Zealand business to the purchaser, and
on May 4, 2018, the Company completed the sale of its New Zealand business.
Prior to its sale on May 4, 2018, the Company recorded an
adjustment of $1 million in the first quarter of 2018 to its carrying amount of the New Zealand business that is held for sale based on its updated estimate of fair value less cost to sell. The adjustment resulted in an increase in the related
valuation allowance and is included in the Net (increase) reduction of loss on discontinued operations held for sale in the table below. The adjusted carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount at the time these operations were initially
classified as held for sale. Until the closing date, the Company operated the New Zealand business in the ordinary course.
Associated with the
Companys sale of its European business operations in 2016, the sale and purchase agreement (the SPA) contained customary warranties of the Company and the purchaser, with the Companys warranties limited to an aggregate of EUR
10 million. The Company monitors its estimated exposure to liabilities under the warranties under the SPA, and as of March 31, 2018, the Company believes it has made adequate provisions for its potential exposures related to these
warranties. The Company will continue to provide various transition and product sourcing services to the purchaser of the European business operations for a period of up to 24 months following the closing date of December 31, 2016, under a
separate agreement. The proceeds and related costs from these services are not material and are presented in Other income, net as part of continuing operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company also retains certain guarantees in place with respect to the liabilities or obligations of the European business and remains contingently liable
for these obligations. However, the purchaser must indemnify and hold the Company harmless for any losses in connection with these guarantees. The Company currently does not believe it is probable it would be required to perform under any of these
guarantees or any of the underlying obligations.

Products revenue
Products
revenue includes the sale of (1) supplies such as paper, writing instruments, office supplies, cleaning and breakroom items, (2) technology related products such as toner and ink, printers, computers, tablets and accessories, electronic
storage, and (3) furniture and other products such as desks, seating, and luggage.
The Company sells its supplies, furniture and other products
through its Retail and Business Solutions Divisions, and its technology products through all three Divisions. Customers can purchase products through the Companys retail stores, electronically through its internet sites, or through its call
centers. Revenues from supplies, technology, and furniture and other product sales are recognized when the customer obtains control of the Companys product, which occurs at a point in time, typically upon delivery to the customer.
Furniture and other products also include arrangements where customers can make special furniture interior design and installation orders that are customized
to their needs. The performance obligations related to these arrangements are satisfied over time.

OFFICE DEPOT, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Services revenue
Services revenue includes (1) technology service offerings provided through the Companys CompuCom Division, such as end user computing, data center
management, service desk, network infrastructure, IT workforce solutions, mobile device management and cloud services, as well as technology service offerings provided in its retail stores, such as installation and repair, and (2) other service
offerings such as copy and print services, managed print and fulfillment services, product subscriptions, and sales of third party software, gift cards, and warranties, as well as rental income on operating lease arrangements where the Company
conveys to its customers the right to use devices and other equipment for a stated period.
The largest offering in the service technology category is end
user computing, which
provides on-site services
to assist corporate end users with their information technology needs. Services are either billed on a rate per hour or on a fixed monthly retainer
basis. For the majority of technology service offerings contracts, the Company has the right to invoice the customer in an amount that directly corresponds with the value to the customer of the Companys performance to date and as such the
Company recognizes revenue based on the amount billable to the customer in accordance with the practical expedient provided by the current revenue guidance.
Substantially all of the Companys other service offerings are satisfied at a point in time and revenue is recognized as such. The largest other service
offering is copy and print services, which includes printing, copying, and digital imaging. The majority of copy and print services are fulfilled through retail stores and the related performance obligations are satisfied within a short period of
time (generally within the same day).
Revenue Recognition and Significant Judgments
Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company is
entitled to receive in exchange for those products or services. For product sales, transfer of control occurs at a point in time, typically upon delivery to the customer. For service offerings, the transfer of control and satisfaction of the
performance obligation is either over time or at a point in time. When performance obligations are satisfied over time, the Company evaluates the pattern of delivery and progress each reporting period and, if necessary, adjusts the measure of
performance and related revenue recognition. Revenue is recognized net of allowance for returns and net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. Shipping and handling costs are considered
fulfillment activities and are recognized within the Companys cost of goods sold.
Contracts with customers could include promises to transfer
multiple products and services to a customer. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. Determining the
standalone selling price also requires judgement. The Company did not have significant revenues generated from such contracts during the first quarter of 2018.
Products are generally sold with a right of return and the Company may provide other incentives, such as rebates and coupons, which are accounted for as
variable consideration when estimating the amount of revenue to recognize. Returns and incentives are estimated at contract inception and updated at the end of each reporting period as additional information becomes available and only to the extent
that it is probable that a significant reversal of any incremental revenue will not occur.
The Company offers a customer loyalty program that provides
customers with rewards that can be applied to future purchases or other incentives. Loyalty rewards are accounted for as a separate performance obligation and a deferred liability is recorded in the amount of the transaction price allocated to the
rewards, inclusive of the impact of estimated breakage. The estimated breakage of loyalty rewards is based on historical redemption rates experienced under the loyalty program. Revenue is recognized when the loyalty rewards are redeemed or expire.
As of March 31, 2018, the Company had $22 million of deferred liability related to the loyalty program, which is included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Contract Balances
The timing of revenue recognition may
differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. A receivable is recognized in the period the Company delivers goods or provide services, and is recorded at the invoiced amount, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. A receivable is also
recognized for unbilled services where the Companys right to consideration is unconditional, and is recorded based on an estimate of time and materials. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally include a
requirement of payment within 20 to 60 days. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company has determined that the contracts do not include a significant financing component. The primary
purpose of the Companys invoicing terms is to provide customers with simplified and predictable ways of purchasing its products and services.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company receives payments from customers based upon contractual billing schedules. Contract assets
include amounts related to deferred contract acquisition costs (refer to the section Costs to Obtain a Contract below) and if applicable, the Companys conditional right to consideration for completed performance under a contract.
During the first quarter of 2018, the Company did not have any contract assets related to conditional rights. The short and long-term components of contract assets in the table below are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets, and
Other assets, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Contract liabilities include payments received in advance of performance under the contract, and are recognized as revenue when the performance obligation is completed under
the contract, as well as accrued contract acquisition costs, liabilities related to the Companys loyalty program and gift cards. The short and long-term components of contract liabilities in the table below are included in Accrued expenses and
other current liabilities, and Deferred income taxes and other long-term liabilities, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company recognized revenues of $25 million during the first quarter of 2018 which were included in the short-term
contract liability balance at the beginning of the period. There were no contract assets and liabilities that were recognized during the first quarter of 2018 as a result of business combinations. There were no significant adjustments to revenue
from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods and there were no contract assets recognized at the beginning of the period that transferred to receivables during the first quarter of 2018.
Substantially all of the purchase orders and statements of work related to contracts with customers require delivery of the product or service within one year
or less. For certain service contracts that exceed one year, the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed. Accordingly, the Company has applied the optional exemption provided by the new
revenue recognition standard relating to unsatisfied performance obligations and does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for its contracts.
Costs to Obtain a Contract
The Company recognizes an
asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if it expects the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year. The Company has determined that certain rebate incentive programs meet the requirements to be capitalized.
These costs are periodically reviewed for impairment, and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit. As of March 31, 2018, capitalized acquisition costs amounted to $39 million, which is reflected in
short-term contract assets and long-term contract assets in the table above. During the first quarter of 2018, amortization expense was $7 million, and there was no impairment loss in relation to costs capitalized. The Company had no asset
impairment charges related to contract assets in the period.

OFFICE DEPOT, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 7. INCOME TAXES
The Companys effective rate for the first quarter of 2018 differs from the statutory rate of 21% enacted as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on
December 22, 2017 in the United States due to the impact of excess tax deficiencies associated with stock-based compensation awards, the impact of state taxes and certain nondeductible items and the mix of income and losses across U.S.
and non-U.S. jurisdictions.
The Companys effective tax rates in prior periods have varied considerably as a result of two primary factors, 1) the mix of income and losses across U.S.
and non-U.S. jurisdictions,
and 2) the derecognition of valuation allowances against deferred tax assets that were
not more-likely-than-not realizable
in
the U.S. and
certain non-U.S. jurisdictions.
During 2018 and 2017, the mix of income and losses across jurisdictions, although still applicable, has become less of a factor in influencing the
Companys effective tax rates due to the dispositions of the international businesses and improved operating results. In addition, during 2017 a large portion of the Companys deferred tax assets that previously were not realizable, became
realizable, thereby, causing significant reductions in previously established valuation allowances. These factors have resulted in the Companys effective tax rates being 40% for the first quarter of 2018 and 39% for the first quarter
of 2017. Changes in pretax income projections and the mix of income across jurisdictions could impact the effective tax rate in future quarters.
During the third quarter of 2017, the Company concluded that it was more likely than not that a benefit from a significant portion of its U.S. federal and
state deferred tax assets would be realized. This conclusion was based on a detailed evaluation of all available positive and negative evidence and the weight of such evidence, the current financial position and results of operations for the current
and preceding years, and the expectation of continued earnings. The Company determined that its U.S. federal and state valuation allowance should be reduced by approximately $40 million in 2017, with approximately $37 million in the third
quarter of 2017 as a
discrete non-cash income
tax benefit and the remainder as an adjustment to the estimated annual effective tax rate.
The Company continues to have a U.S. valuation allowance for certain U.S. federal credits and state tax attributes, which relate to deferred tax assets
that require certain types of income or for income to be earned in certain jurisdictions in order to be realized. The Company will continue to assess the realizability of its deferred tax assets in the U.S. and remaining foreign jurisdictions
in future periods. Changes in pretax income projections could impact this evaluation in future periods.
The Company files a U.S. federal income tax
return and other income tax returns in various states and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal and state and local income tax examinations for years before 2016 and 2009, respectively. The
acquired OfficeMax U.S. consolidated group is no longer subject to U.S. federal examination and with few exceptions, is no longer subject to U.S. state and local tax examinations for years before 2009. The Companys U.S. federal income tax
return for 2016 is currently under review. Generally, the Company is subject to routine examination for years 2008 and forward in its international tax jurisdictions.
It is not reasonably possible that certain tax positions will be resolved within the next 12 months. Additionally, the Company anticipates that it is
reasonably possible that new issues will be raised or resolved by tax authorities that may require changes to the balance of unrecognized tax benefits; however, an estimate of such changes cannot be reasonably made.

Treasury Stock
In May
2016, the Companys Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $100 million of its outstanding common stock. In August 2016, the Board of Directors authorized increasing the share repurchase program to
$250 million. The stock repurchase authorization permits the Company to repurchase stock from
time-to-time
through a combination of open market repurchases,
privately negotiated transactions,
10b5-1
trading plans, accelerated stock repurchase transactions and/or other derivative transactions. The authorization extends to the end of 2018 and may be suspended or
discontinued at any time. The exact number and timing of share repurchases will depend on market conditions and other factors, and will be funded through existing liquidity. However, under the Companys Term Loan Credit Agreement, the
Companys ability to continue to repurchase its common stock is significantly restricted.
In the first quarter of 2018, the Company made no
repurchases of common stock, under the stock repurchase program. As of March 31, 2018, $62 million remains available for repurchase under the current authorization.
Dividends on Common Stock
In the first quarter of 2018,
the Companys Board of Directors declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.025 per share on its common stock, resulting in total cash payments of $14 million. Dividends have been recorded as a reduction to additional
paid-in
capital as the Company is in an accumulated deficit position. Additionally, payment of dividends is permitted under the Companys Amended Credit Agreement provided that the Company has the required
minimum liquidity or fixed charge ratio, but may be limited if the Company does not meet the necessary requirements. Additionally, under the Companys Term Loan Credit Agreement, payment of dividends is permitted subject to compliance with an
annual limit.

Awards of stock options and nonvested shares representing approximately 8 million and 4 million additional shares of
common stock were outstanding for the first quarters of 2018 and 2017, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding because their effect would have been antidilutive.

The UK pension plan is in a net asset position. In the first quarter of 2018, cash contributions of $1 million were made
to the UK pension plan. The Company is required to make an additional cash contribution of $1 million to the UK pension plan during the remainder of 2018.
Net periodic pension benefits for the North America and UK pension and other postretirement benefit plans (the Plans) are recorded at the
corporate level. The service cost for the Plans are reflected in Selling, general and administrative expenses, and the other components of net periodic pension benefits are reflected in Other income, net, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations.
NOTE 11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The
Company measures fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. In developing its fair
value estimates, the Company uses the following hierarchy:
|
|
|
Level 1:
|
|
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|
|
|
Level 2:
|
|
Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
|
|
|
Level 3:
|
|
Significant unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. Generally, these fair value measures are model-based valuation techniques such as discounted cash flows or option pricing models using the Companys
own estimates and assumptions or those expected to be used by market participants.
|

OFFICE DEPOT, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited) (Continued)
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
In accordance with GAAP, certain assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The Companys assets and
liabilities that are adjusted to fair value on a recurring basis are money market funds that qualify as cash equivalents, and derivative financial instruments.
As of March 31, 2018, and December 30, 2017, the Company did not have any money market funds that had floating net asset values that required
measurement. As part of the purchase of CompuCom on November 8, 2017, the Company acquired a redeemable noncontrolling equity interest in a subsidiary of CompuCom. In accordance with GAAP, the redeemable noncontrolling interest is required to
be adjusted to its maximum redemption amount as of each reporting period. The Company used level 2 and 3 inputs in measuring the fair value of the redemption amount of $18 million as of March 31, 2018.
The fair values of the Companys foreign currency contracts and fuel contracts are the amounts receivable or payable to terminate the agreements at the
reporting date, taking into account current interest rates, exchange rates and commodity prices. The values are based on market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. Amounts associated with these derivative
financial instruments are considered Level 1 measurements, but were not significant for the reported periods. At March 31, 2018, and December 30, 2017, Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheets included less than $1 million related to derivative foreign currency and fuel contracts.
Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
In addition to assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company records certain assets and liabilities at fair
value on a nonrecurring basis as required by GAAP. Generally, assets are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as a result of impairment charges that are based on Level 3 measurements. The Company recognized no asset impairment charges
associated with continuing operations in the first quarter of 2018.
Other Fair Value Disclosures
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, trade accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate their carrying
values because of their short-term nature.
The following table presents information about financial instruments at the balance sheet dates indicated.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial
instruments:
|
|
|
Timber notes receivable:
Fair value is determined as the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the current interest rate for loans of similar terms with comparable credit risk (Level 2
measure).
|
|
|
|
Company-owned life insurance:
In connection with the Merger, the Company acquired company owned life insurance policies on certain former employees. The fair value of the company-owned life insurance policies is
derived using determinable net cash surrender value (Level 2 measure).
|
|
|
|
Recourse debt:
Recourse debt for which there were no transactions on the measurement date was valued based on quoted market prices near the measurement date when available or by discounting the future cash flows
of each instrument using rates based on the most recently observable trade or using rates currently offered to the Company for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities (Level 2 measure).
|
|
|
|
Non-recourse
debt:
Fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash flows of the instrument at rates currently available to the Company for similar instruments of
comparable maturities (Level 2 measure).
|
NOTE 12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Matters
The Company is involved in litigation
arising in the normal course of business. While, from time to time, claims are asserted that make demands for a large sum of money (including, from time to time, actions which are asserted to be maintainable as class action suits), the Company does
not believe that contingent liabilities related to these matters (including the matters discussed below), either individually or in the aggregate, will materially affect the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In addition, in the ordinary course of business, sales to and transactions with government customers may be subject to lawsuits, investigations, audits
and review by governmental authorities and regulatory agencies, with which the Company cooperates. Many of these lawsuits, investigations, audits and reviews are resolved without material impact to the Company. While claims in these matters may at
times assert large demands, the Company does not believe that contingent liabilities related to these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, will materially affect its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In addition to the foregoing, OfficeMax is named a defendant in a number of lawsuits, claims, and proceedings arising out of the operation of certain paper
and forest products assets prior to those assets being sold in 2004, for which OfficeMax agreed to retain responsibility. Also, as part of that sale, OfficeMax agreed to retain responsibility for all pending or threatened proceedings and future
proceedings alleging asbestos-related injuries arising out of the operation of the paper and forest products assets prior to the closing of the sale. The Company has made provision for losses with respect to the pending proceedings. Additionally, as
of March 31, 2018, the Company has made provision for environmental liabilities with respect to certain sites where hazardous substances or other contaminants are or may be located. For these environmental liabilities, our estimated range of
reasonably possible losses was approximately $10 million to $25 million. The Company regularly monitors its estimated exposure to these liabilities. As additional information becomes known, these estimates may change, however, the Company
does not believe any of these OfficeMax retained proceedings are material to the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 13. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company had two reportable segments during 2017 until the acquisition of CompuCom on November 8, 2017, at which time a third reportable segment was
formed for that business based on how the Company is managed. The Business Solutions Division sells office supply products and services across the United States, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Canada. Business Solutions Division customers are
served through dedicated sales forces, catalogs, telesales, and electronically through its internet sites. The Retail Division includes retail stores in the United States, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, which offer office supplies,
technology products and solutions, business machines and related supplies, print, cleaning, breakroom and facilities products, and office furniture as well as business services including copying, printing, mailing, shipping and technology support
services. In addition, the print needs for retail and business customers are also facilitated through the Companys regional print production centers. The CompuCom Division, which reflects the operations of CompuCom since its acquisition on
November 8, 2017, sells information technology (IT) outsourcing services and products to North American enterprise organizations in the United States, Canada and Costa Rica, and offers a broad range of solutions that includes end user computing
(tablets, smartphones, laptops and desktops), data center management, service desk, network infrastructure and IT workforce solutions. CompuCom Division customers are served through dedicated IT service and sales representatives, telesales, and
electronically through the Companys internet sites.
The retained global sourcing operations previously included in the International Division are
not significant and have been presented as Other.
The Companys three operating segments are the three reportable segments. The Business Solutions
Division, Retail Division and CompuCom Division are managed separately as they represent separate channels in the way we serve our customers and are managed accordingly. The accounting policies for each segment are the same as those described in
Note 1 in the Companys 2017 Form
10-K.
Division operating income is determined based on the measure of performance reported internally to manage the business and for resource allocation. This measure
charges to the respective Divisions those expenses considered directly or closely related to their operations and allocates support costs. Certain operating expenses and credits are not allocated to the Business Solutions and Retail Divisions,
including Asset impairments and Merger and restructuring expenses, net, as well as expenses and credits retained at the Corporate level, including certain management costs and legacy pension and environmental matters. Other companies may charge more
or less of these items to their segments and results may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities. In addition, the Company regularly evaluates the appropriateness of the reportable segments based on how the business is
managed, including making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the segments, particularly in light of organizational changes, merger and acquisition activity and changing laws and regulations. Therefore, the current
reportable segments may change in the future.
The following is a summary of sales and operating income (loss) by each of the Divisions and
Other, reconciled to consolidated totals, after the elimination of the discontinued operations for all periods.
