Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019

(tabular amounts in millions, except per share data)

 

Note 1.  Overview and Basis of Presentation

 

Description of Business

 

The principal business of LSC Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries (“LSC Communications,” “the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us”) is to offer a broad scope of traditional and digital print, print-related services and office products.  The Company serves the needs of publishers, merchandisers and retailers worldwide with a service offering that includes e-services, logistics, warehousing and fulfillment and supply chain management services.  The Company utilizes a broad portfolio of technology capabilities coupled with consultative attention to clients' needs to increase speed to market, reduce costs, provide postal savings to customers and improve efficiencies.  The Company prints magazines, catalogs, books and directories, and its office products offerings include filing products, envelopes, note-taking products, binder products, and forms. 

 

 

Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11

 

On April 13, 2020 (the “Petition Date”), the Company and certain of its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101-1532 (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”) (collectively, the “Chapter 11 Cases”).  The Chapter 11 Cases are being jointly administered under the caption In re LSC Communications, Inc., 20-10950.  We and our subsidiaries that are involved in the Chapter 11 Cases will continue to operate our businesses as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

On April 15, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered orders granting interim approval of certain forms of relief that we requested, enabling us to conduct our business activities in the ordinary course, subject to the terms and conditions of such orders, including authorizing us to pay employee wages and benefits, to pay taxes and certain governmental fees and charges, to continue to operate our cash management system in the ordinary course, and to pay prepetition claims of certain of our vendors.  For goods and services provided following the Petition Date, the Company expects to continue to pay vendors under normal terms.  

 

During the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, attempts to prosecute, collect, secure or enforce remedies with respect to prepetition claims against the debtors, including litigation relating to the entities involved in the Chapter 11 Cases, are subject to the automatic stay provisions of section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, as modified or amended by the terms of any order entered in the Chapter 11 Cases.  

 

We have obtained debtor-in-possession financing of up to $100 million which, together with our normal operating cash flows, will provide liquidity for the Company to operate as usual and fulfill ongoing commitments to stakeholders during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases.  Refer to Note 9, Debt, for information on the debtor-in-possession financing facility.

 

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and contemplate the continuity of our operations, realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.  Our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon our ability to comply with the covenants of the DIP Credit Agreement described in Note 9, Debt, and our ability to implement, subject to the Bankruptcy Court’s approval, a restructuring plan, among other factors.

 

While operating as debtors-in-possession under Chapter 11, we may sell or otherwise dispose of or liquidate assets or settle liabilities, subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court or as otherwise permitted in the ordinary course of business (and subject to restrictions in our debt agreements), for amounts other than those reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.  Further, the restructuring plan could materially change the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

LSC Communications, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019

(tabular amounts in millions, except per share data)

 

As a result of the factors noted above, we believe there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. 

 

 

Coronavirus Pandemic (“COVID-19”)

 

During and subsequent to the first quarter of 2020, the novel coronavirus strain, known as COVID-19, continues to spread across the globe at an increasing rate. Measures taken by governmental authorities and private actors to limit the spread of this virus may interfere with the ability of the Company's employees, suppliers, and other business providers to carry out their assigned tasks or supply materials at ordinary levels of performance relative to the conduct of the business which may cause a material curtailment to certain business operations. Moreover, as a large part of the Company's business involves sales of books and other products used in schools and school facilities, if COVID-19 related measures continue to result in widespread and lengthy school closings, the Company's consolidated results of operations and financial condition will be adversely impacted.  Books sold in retail stores have also been adversely impacted as both large chains and independent stores have been forced to close.  Additionally, as COVID-19 has significantly impacted retailers' stores, distribution centers and supply chains, the Company expects to experience an adverse impact on our catalogs and office products businesses.  Disruption across many other industries has also significantly impacted demand for advertising, which is expected to result in page count and volume reductions in magazines.

 

We continue to monitor the situation, to assess further possible implications to our business and customers, and to take actions in an effort to mitigate adverse consequences. The Company has expanded its work-from-home policy for its non-manufacturing employees, has focused on obtaining protective equipment and implementing social distancing and other policies for its manufacturing employees and continues to adhere to guidance issued by governmental authorities.  The Company is unable to quantify the impact on our business at this time, but it could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements in the future.

 

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law.  Refer to Note 12, Taxes, for more information on the CARES Act.

 

 

Basis of Presentation     

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the balance sheets and statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).  All 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.  

 

As a result of the Company’s segment analysis in the fourth quarter of 2019, Mexico met the requirements to be classified as a reportable segment (previously included as a non-reportable segment).  All prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the Company’s current reporting structure.  Refer to Note 14, Segment Information, for reclassified balances for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

 

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13 “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326)” (“ASU 2016-13” or “ASC 326”) on January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective adoption method.  As a result of the adoption, the Company separately disclosed the amortized cost amount of total receivables separately from the allowance for credit losses in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.  Refer to Note 2, Revenue Recognition, for more information.

  

Impact of Change in Accounting Principle

 

Beginning in the first quarter of 2020, the Company changed the method of accounting for the market-related value of assets for a class of assets within the U.S. Qualified Plan and Non-Qualified plans.  This class of assets is currently comprised of liability-hedging investments, which represents approximately 60% of the plans’ assets. Liability-hedging investments provide a natural hedge against the changes in the recorded amount of net periodic pension cost.  Refer to Note 11, Retirement Plans, in the Company’s Form

9


LSC Communications, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019

(tabular amounts in millions, except per share data)

 

10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 for disclosure by asset classifications.  The previous method of accounting was to use the market-related value of assets for all the plans’ assets when recognizing changes in fair value of plan assets ratably over a five-year period.  As a result of the change in method of accounting the Company will no longer use the market-related value of liability-hedging investments.  Instead, the fair value of liability-hedging investments will be immediately included in the calculation of net periodic pension cost. This change in accounting method is preferable because it accelerates the recognition of the fair value for this class of assets into net income or loss.  No change is being made to the accounting principle for the other classes of pension assets, which represent the remaining 40% of the pension asset portfolio for the plan.

 

The change in accounting principle requires retrospective application and prospective disclosure. Refer below for the restatements on previously issued financial statements.  Retrospective application was applied to periods beginning in 2017 as it was determined not to be possible to go further than that date due to the Company’s separation in 2016 from its prior parent company.  Prior to the separation in 2016, the U.S. Qualified and Non-Qualified pension plans were legally owned by the Company’s prior parent company.

 

The cumulative effect of the change on accumulated deficit was an increase in deficit of $9 million as of January 1, 2019 and a $9 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss, as shown in the condensed statement of stockholders’ equity.  

 

The historical statements of cash flows are also being retrospectively restated as changes in net (loss) income, expense related to settlement of retirement obligations and pension income flow through the operating activities section with an offsetting impact to the change in accrued liabilities and other. There is no net impact to cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities.

 

The tables below represent the impact of the change in accounting principle on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and statement of stockholders’ equity for all periods since 2017:

Accounts Receivable

 

As disclosed in Note 1, Overview and Basis of Presentation, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective adoption method.  As a result of the adoption, the Company now records an allowance for credit losses on unbilled receivables which resulted in a de minimis amount of expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020.  There were no changes to the Company’s policy relating to its receivables.  To recognize the initial adoption, the Company recorded a de minimis increase to its January 1, 2020 balance for allowance for credit losses and an offsetting impact to accumulated deficit in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.    

 

Transactions affecting the allowances for doubtful accounts receivable balance during the three months ended March 31, 2020 were as follows:

Restructuring Charges

    

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company incurred net other restructuring charges of $22 million, primarily due to facility costs and costs to move equipment, expenses associated with new revenue opportunities, and cost savings initiatives implemented in 2019.  For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company incurred charges of $3 million for an aggregate of 397 employees, of whom 197 were terminated as of or prior to March 31, 2020, primarily related to the closure of one facility in the Office Products segment.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company incurred charges of $5 million for an aggregate of 240 employees, primarily related to the closure of one facility in the Magazines, Catalogs and Logistics segment.  The Company incurred net other restructuring charges of $6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 primarily due to charges related to facility costs, as well as costs associated with new revenue opportunities and cost savings initiatives implemented during the quarter.  The Company recorded $2 million of net impairment charges related to machinery and equipment associated with facility closings in the Magazines, Catalogs and Logistics segment.

 

  

Impairment Reviews

 

The Company performs interim reviews of goodwill for indicators of impairment each quarter to assess whether an interim impairment review is required for any reporting unit.  Additionally, the Company evaluates the recoverability of other long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and certain identifiable intangible assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. As part of its interim reviews, management analyzes operating results for the period compared to expected results as of the prior year’s review, key assumptions such as discount rates and

20

(tabular amounts in millions, except per share data)

 

expected long-term growth rates, changes in the overall market value of the Company’s equity and debt securities, significant negative industry and economic trends, as well as other factors. 

 

 

Goodwill

 

Due the potential impact of COVID-19 on the company’s future performance, management determined that a further review of the reporting units’ goodwill for indicators of impairment was appropriate.  As discussed in Note 1, Overview and Basis of Presentation, COVID-19 has the potential to have a negative impact across several of the Company’s segments.  As of March 31, 2020, only two reporting units had goodwill: Office Products ($31 million) and logistics ($21 million).  

 

For the Office Products and logistics reporting units, management assessed goodwill impairment risk by first performing a qualitative review of entity specific, industry, market and general economic factors for each reporting unit. For both reporting units, the Company was not able to conclude that it is more likely than not that the fair values of our reporting units are greater than their carrying values, and therefore, a one-step method for determining goodwill impairment was applied as of March 31, 2020.

 

The Company performed a Step 1 impairment test of goodwill in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, which includes comparing the estimated fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill.  If the carrying amount of a reporting unit is greater than zero and its fair value exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired. However, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the goodwill is considered impaired and a full or partial write-off of goodwill would be required.  

 

The Company determines the fair value of its reporting units using both the income approach and the market approach. The determination of the fair value using the income approach requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to projected operating results (including forecasted revenue and operating income), anticipated future cash flows, and discount rates. The determination of the fair value using the market approach requires management to make significant assumptions related to the multiples of earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) used in the calculation.  Additionally, the market approach estimates fair value using comparable marketplace fair value data from within a comparable industry grouping. The Company weighs both the income and market approach equally to estimate the concluded fair value of each reporting unit.

 

The determination of fair value and the allocation of that value to individual assets and liabilities requires the Company to make significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions primarily include, but are not limited to: the selection of appropriate peer group companies; control premiums appropriate for acquisitions in the industries in which the Company competes; the discount rate; terminal growth rates; and forecasts of revenue, operating income, depreciation and amortization, restructuring charges and capital expenditures. As part of its impairment test for its reporting units, the Company engages a third-party valuation firm to assist in the Company’s determination of certain assumptions used to estimate fair values.

 

As a result of the interim impairment tests Office Products and logistics, the Company did not recognize any goodwill impairment charges as the estimated fair values of the reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values by 10% and 32%, respectively.

 

 

Other Intangible Assets and Property, Plant and Equipment

 

Given the continued decline in demand in the magazines and catalogs reporting unit and the potential impact of COVID-19, management determined that a further review of the reporting unit’s property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets for operating leases for recoverability was appropriate during the first quarter of 2020.  The Company performed a Step 1 recoverability test in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360, Property, Plant and Equipment.  The recoverability test compares the estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset group and its eventual disposition to the carrying value of the asset group; if the carrying value of the asset group exceeds its estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recorded for the excess of the asset group’s carrying value over its fair value.  Based upon management’s updated projection of cash flows for this asset group, management determined that the estimated future undiscounted cash flows were in excess of the asset group’s carrying value, resulting in no impairment loss as a result of these tests in the first quarter of 2020.

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019

(tabular amounts in millions, except per share data)

 

In addition to the interim tests noted above, the Company reviewed the Office Products’ intangible assets and Books’ intangible assets and property, plant and equipment for recoverability. There were no impairment charges recorded as a result of the recoverability tests.

 

 

Future Interim Reviews

 

The Company will continue to perform interim reviews of goodwill for indicators of impairment each quarter to assess whether an interim impairment test is required for its goodwill balances or if recoverability tests are required for long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, and certain identifiable intangible assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable.  Such reviews could result in future impairment charges, depending on the facts and circumstances in effect at the time of those reviews. 

 

 

Other Charges  

 

For each of the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded de minimis amount of other charges for multiemployer pension plan withdrawal obligations unrelated to facility closures.  The total liability for the withdrawal obligations associated with the Company’s decision to withdraw from certain multiemployer pension plans included $3 million in accrued liabilities and $17 million in restructuring and multiemployer pension plan liabilities at March 31, 2020.    

 

The Company’s withdrawal liabilities could be affected by the financial stability of other employers participating in such plans and any decisions by those employers or the Company to withdraw from such plans in the future.  While it is not possible to quantify the potential impact of future events or circumstances, reductions in other employers’ participation in multiemployer pension plans, including certain plans from which the Company has previously withdrawn, could have a material effect on the Company’s previously estimated withdrawal liabilities and condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and cash flows.

 

 

Restructuring Reserve

 

The restructuring reserve as of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020, and changes during the three months ended March 31, 2020 were as follows:

The current portion of restructuring reserves of $41 million at March 31, 2020 was included in accrued liabilities, while the long-term portion of $24 million, which primarily related to multiemployer pension plan withdrawal obligations related to facility closures, was included in restructuring and multiemployer pension liabilities at March 31, 2020.        

      

The Company anticipates that payments associated with the employee terminations reflected in the above table will be substantially completed by March 31, 2021.  

 

Payments on all of the Company’s multiemployer pension plan withdrawal obligations are scheduled to be completed by 2034. Changes based on uncertainties in these estimated withdrawal obligations could affect the ultimate charges related to multiemployer pension plan withdrawal obligations.          

 

The restructuring liabilities classified as “other” consisted of other facility closing costs and costs associated with new revenue opportunities and cost savings initiatives implemented in 2019.

Note 8.  Commitments and Contingencies  

 

The Company is subject to laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment.  The Company accrues for expenses associated with environmental remediation obligations when such amounts are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Such accruals are adjusted as new information develops or circumstances change and are generally not discounted.  The Company has been designated as a potentially responsible party or has received claims in nine active federal and state Superfund and other multiparty remediation sites. In addition to these sites, the Company may also have the obligation to remediate three other previously and currently owned facilities. At the Superfund sites, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act provides that the Company’s liability could be joint and several, meaning that the Company could be required to pay an amount in excess of its proportionate share of the remediation costs.

 

The Company’s understanding of the financial strength of other potentially responsible parties at the multiparty sites and of other liable parties at the previously owned facilities has been considered, where appropriate, in the determination of the Company’s estimated liability.  The Company established reserves, recorded in accrued liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities, that it believes are adequate to cover its share of the potential costs of remediation at each of the multiparty sites and the previously and currently owned facilities. It is not possible to quantify with certainty the potential impact of actions regarding environmental matters, particularly remediation and other compliance efforts that the Company may undertake in the future.  However, in the opinion of management, compliance with the present environmental protection laws, before taking into account estimated recoveries from third parties, will not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and cash flows.

 

From time to time, the Company’s customers and others file voluntary petitions for reorganization under United States bankruptcy laws. In such cases, certain pre-petition payments received by the Company from these parties could be considered preference items and subject to return.  In addition, the Company may be party to certain litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that the final resolution of these preference items and litigation will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and cash flows.

On September 30, 2016, the Company issued $450 million of Senior Secured Notes (the “Senior Notes”). 

 

On September 30, 2016 the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) that provides for (i) a senior secured term loan B facility in an aggregate principal amount of $375 million (the “Term Loan Facility”) and (ii) a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $400 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which was reduced to $300 million per the amendment effective on August 5, 2019.  The debt issuance costs and original issue discount are being amortized over the life of the facilities using the effective interest method.

The Credit Agreement is subject to a number of covenants, including, but not limited to, a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio and a Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in and calculated pursuant to the Credit Agreement, that, in part, restrict the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, engage in mergers and consolidations, make restricted payments and dispose of certain assets. Each of these covenants is subject to important exceptions and qualifications.  

  

Credit Agreement Amendments

 

On December 20, 2018, the Company amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, defer certain changes to the minimum Interest Coverage Ratio and the maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio.  Effective August 5, 2019, the Company further amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, defer certain changes to the minimum Interest Coverage Ratio and the maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio.  The following summarizes the changes to the minimum Interest Coverage Ratio and the maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio:

Other terms, including the outstanding principal, maturity date and other debt covenants remained the same under the December 20, 2018 amendment.    

 

The August 5, 2019 amendment resulted in a reduction in the Revolving Credit Facility aggregate principal amount from $400 million to $300 million and removed the general allowance to declare and pay annual dividends of up to $50 million.  The August 5, 2019 amendment included other changes that generally further restrict the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, engage in mergers and consolidations, make restricted payments and dispose of certain assets.  The outstanding principal and maturity date of the Term Loan Facility remains the same, while the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility remains the same.     

 

 

Waiver, Forbearance Agreement and Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement

 

Based on final results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company concluded it was not in compliance with the Consolidated Leverage Ratio and Minimum Interest Ratio contained in the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2019.  The noncompliance occurred on the last day of the fourth quarter due to the following: the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio exceeded the maximum level permitted and the Company’s Minimum Interest Ratio was below the minimum level permitted.  On March 2, 2020, the Company entered into a Waiver, Forbearance Agreement and Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement with lenders constituting a majority under the Credit Agreement that governs the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility. The Waiver, Forbearance Agreement and Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement waived the defaults or events of default that occurred as a result of the financial covenant noncompliance on December 31, 2019 and prevented the lenders from directing the Administrative Agent to accelerate the debt or exercise other remedies as a result of certain other potential defaults or events of default which may occur under the Credit Agreement (the “Potential Defaults”), through the period ended May 14, 2020 (such period, the “Forbearance Period”).  As a result of the noncompliance as of December, 31, 2019, the Company annual report on Form 10-K disclosed there was substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as of December 31, 2019.

Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11

 

The commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default with respect to the Senior Notes, the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility (the “Debt Instruments”).  The Debt Instruments provide that as a result of the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, the principal and interest due thereunder shall be immediately due and payable.  Any efforts to enforce payment obligations under the Debt Instruments will be automatically stayed as a result of the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, and the creditors’ right of enforcement in respect of the Debt Instruments are subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

 

Debtor-in-Possession Financing

  

As previously disclosed, on April 15, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into a Superpriority Secured Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement (the “DIP Credit Agreement”), upon the entry of an interim order of the Bankruptcy Court granting interim approval of the DIP Credit Agreement, among the Company, as borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “DIP Lenders”) and Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “DIP Agent”), pursuant to which the DIP Lenders committed to provide a senior secured superpriority debtor-in-possession credit facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $100 million (the “DIP Facility”).  

 

The DIP Facility consists of (i) revolving loans not to exceed an aggregate amount of $55 million (the “Revolving Loans”), subject to the limitation in the next succeeding sentence, and (ii) letters of credit not to exceed an aggregate amount of $45 million, with $5 million of that amount being available for the issuance of new letters of credit (together with the Revolving Loans, the “DIP Loan Commitments”).  During the interim period prior to the entry of a final order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing the DIP Facility (the “Final Order”), the Company’s capacity to incur Revolving Loans is limited to an aggregate amount of up to $27.5 million.

 

Borrowings under the DIP Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (i) the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) plus 5.75%, or (ii) LIBOR plus 6.75%.  Upon an event of default under the DIP Credit Agreement (an “Event of Default”), an additional 2.00% may be added to the Interest Rate.  In addition, the Company is required to pay (i) an unused line fee of 0.50% per annum (payable quarterly in arrears) on the average daily unused portion of the DIP Loan Commitments, (ii) a commitment fee of (x) 1.00% per annum on the DIP Loan Commitments, regardless of usage, plus (y) $100,000 per week for the first 20 weeks after the Closing Date, in each case, payable quarterly in arrears, (iii) a participation fee equal to 6.75% multiplied by the amounts available to be drawn under outstanding letters of credit, payable quarterly, and (iv) a fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum on amounts available to be drawn under outstanding letters of credit, payable quarterly.

 

Proceeds of the loans made under the DIP Facility may be used only for the following purposes: (i) working capital and other general corporate purposes, including the payment of professional fees and expenses, (ii) to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of the DIP Agent and the DIP Lenders (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and financial advisors), (iii) to pay claims in respect of certain prepetition creditors, (iv) to repay indebtedness owed to holders of the Prepetition Priority Payment Obligations (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) (the “Prepetition Revolving Lenders”), and (v) making adequate protection payments to the Prepetition Revolving Lenders, the Prepetition Term Lenders and the Prepetition Secured Noteholders (each as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement).

 

In connection with the DIP Credit Agreement, certain subsidiaries of the Company became parties to a guarantee agreement as guarantors (collectively, the “Guarantors,” and together with the Company, the “DIP Credit Parties”). Each of the Guarantors is a debtor and debtor-in-possession in the Chapter 11 Cases.  The Guarantors have guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, all of the obligations under the DIP Facility.  To secure the obligations under the DIP Facility, the Company and the Guarantors have granted liens on substantially all of their assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.

 

The DIP Facility will mature on the earliest of the following dates: (i) unless the Final Order is entered, May 15, 2020, (ii) the date upon which any Plan of Reorganization (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) becomes effective, or (iii) the six-month anniversary following the Petition Date, provided that such maturity may be extended with the consent of the Required Lenders (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) to a date no later than nine months after the Petition Date.

The DIP Credit Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that are customary for debtor-in-possession facilities of this type, including, but not limited to, certain case milestones, specified restrictions on indebtedness, liens, guarantee obligations, liquidations and dissolutions, sales of assets, leases, payment of dividends and other restricted payments, voluntary payments of other indebtedness, investments, loans and advances, transactions with affiliates, sale and leaseback transactions and compliance with case milestones. The DIP Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default for facilities of this type, including failure to achieve the milestones and the occurrence of certain events in the Chapter 11 Cases.

 

The DIP Facility is subject to final approval by the Bankruptcy Court.

 

 

Additional Debt Issuances Information

 

The fair values of the Senior Notes and Term Loan Facility that were determined using the market approach based upon interest rates available to the Company for borrowings with similar terms and maturities, were determined to be Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy.  The fair value of the Company’s debt was lower than its book value by approximately $546 million and $277 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.  

 

There were $249 million of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as of both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.  The weighted-average interest rate on borrowings under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility was 4.65% during the three months ended March 31, 2020.  

 

There was $18 million and $19 million of net interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

 

Note 10.  Earnings Per Share

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, no shares of common stock were purchased by the Company; however, a de minimis amount of shares were withheld from employees for tax liabilities upon vesting of equity awards.

 

Basic (loss) per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to the Company’s stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. In computing diluted EPS, basic EPS is adjusted for the assumed issuance of all potentially dilutive share-based awards, including stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and performance share units.   

      

The following table shows the calculation of basic and diluted EPS, as well as a reconciliation of basic shares to diluted shares:

In the first quarter of 2020, the Company adopted a change in method of accounting for the market-related value of assets for a class of assets within the U.S. Qualified Plan and Non-Qualified plans.  The change in accounting method was retrospectively applied to periods in 2017, 2018 and 2019, and as a result, pension income shown above for the three months ended March 31, 2019 has been restated.  Refer to Note 1, Overview and Basis of Presentation, for more information.

 

In the first quarter of 2019, the Company completed a partial settlement of its retirement benefit obligations related to the U.S. Qualified Plan by purchasing a group annuity contract for certain retirees and beneficiaries from a third-party insurance company. As a result, the Company’s pension assets and liabilities were remeasured as of the settlement date.  As of the remeasurement date, the reduction in the reported pension obligation for the participants under the annuity contract was $477 million, and the reduction in plan assets was $466 million.  The Company recorded a non-cash settlement charge of $132 million in settlement of retirement benefit obligations in the condensed consolidated statement of operations in the first quarter of 2019.  This charge resulted from the recognition in earnings of a portion of the actuarial losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss based on the proportion of the obligation settled.  

 

Settlement of retirement obligations is disclosed separately in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, while the remaining net periodic (loss) income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 is included in the investment and other (income)-net.

The CARES Act is intended to provide emergency relief to both businesses and individuals impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.  

 

 

Income Taxes

 

The CARES Act enacted several provisions that may impact corporations including the carryback of certain net operating losses and the expensing of additional interest under certain circumstances.  The Company has estimated that these provisions will not result in a benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2020.  As the Company assesses additional guidance issued by the U.S. Treasury Department, the IRS and other standard-setting bodies related to the CARES Act, it may record an impact to the income tax provision.  

 

 

Payroll Taxes

 

The CARES Act allows companies to defer payments of the employer share (6.2% of wages) of Social Security payroll taxes from the date of enactment through December 31, 2020.  Fifty percent of the taxes deferred are required to be paid by December 31, 2021 with the remaining fifty percent by December 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2020, the Company accrued $2 million of payroll taxes that will benefit from this adoption. The Company expects to continue to defer payroll taxes through the end of 2020.

LSC Communications, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019

(tabular amounts in millions, except per share data)

 

Note 15.  New Accounting Pronouncements

      

In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-14 “Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans” (“ASU 2018-14”).  ASU 2018-14 modifies the annual disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension plans.  ASU 2018-14 is effective for 2020 year-end disclosures.  Early adoption of ASU 2018-14 is permitted; however, the Company plans to adopt the standard for the 2020 year-end disclosures. The Company does not anticipate a significant impact.

  

In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2019-12 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes ("ASU 2019-12").  ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions for intraperiod tax allocations and interim calculations, and adds guidance to reduce complexity in accounting for income taxes, including a modification in the guidance for franchise taxes that are partially based on income and recognizing deferred taxes for a subsequent step-up in the tax basis of goodwill.  ASU 2019-12 is effective in the first quarter of 2021.  Early adoption of ASU 2019-12 is permitted; however, the Company plans to adopt the standard in the first quarter of 2021.  The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of the new standard.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS     

     

The following is management’s discussion and analysis of the financial condition of LSC Communications, Inc. as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.  This commentary should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in Item 1, Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.  Refer to the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 2, 2020, for management’s discussion and analysis of the financial condition of the company as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and the results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017.                                     

                          

                        

Company Overview

 

The principal business of LSC Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries (“LSC Communications,” “the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us”) is to offer a broad scope of traditional and digital print, print-related services and office products.

 

 

Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11

 

As a result of the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company’s operations and ability to develop and execute its business plan are subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with the reorganization process under the Bankruptcy Code.  Following the outcome of the Chapter 11 Cases, the amount and composition of the Company’s assets, liabilities, officers and/or directors, and the description of the Company’s operations, properties, liquidity and capital resources included in this quarterly report may be significantly different.

 

 

DIP Financing

 

See Note 9, Debt, for information on the DIP Facility, which provides up to $100 million of financing in the form of revolving loans and letters of credit.

 

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and contemplate the continuity of our operations, realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.  Our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon our ability to comply with the covenants of the DIP Credit Agreement described in Note 9, Debt, and our ability to implement, subject to the Bankruptcy Court’s approval, a restructuring plan, among other factors.

 

While operating as debtors-in-possession under Chapter 11, we may sell or otherwise dispose of or liquidate assets or settle liabilities, subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court or as otherwise permitted in the ordinary course of business (and subject to restrictions in our debt agreements), for amounts other than those reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.  Further, the restructuring plan could materially change the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

As a result of the factors noted above, we believe there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Coronavirus Pandemic (“COVID-19”)

 

During and subsequent to the first quarter of 2020, the novel coronavirus strain, known as COVID-19, continues to spread across the globe at an increasing rate. Measures taken by governmental authorities and private actors to limit the spread of this virus may interfere with the ability of the Company's employees, suppliers, and other business providers to carry out their assigned tasks or supply materials at ordinary levels of performance relative to the conduct of the business which may cause a material curtailment to certain business operations. Moreover, as a large part of the Company's business involves sales of books and other products used in schools and school facilities, if COVID-19 related measures continue to result in widespread and lengthy school closings, the Company's condensed consolidated results of operations and financial condition will be adversely impacted.  Books sold in retail stores have also been adversely impacted as both large chains and independent stores have been forced to close.  Additionally, as COVID-19 has significantly impacted retailers' stores, distribution centers and supply chains, the Company expects to experience an adverse impact on our catalogs and office products businesses.  Disruption across many other industries has also significantly impact demand for advertising, which is expected to result in page count and volume reductions in magazines.

 

We continue to monitor the situation, to assess further possible implications to our business and customers, and to take actions in an effort to mitigate adverse consequences. The Company has expanded its work-from-home policy for its non-manufacturing employees, has focused on obtaining protective equipment and implementing social distancing and other policies for its manufacturing employees and continues to adhere to guidance issued by governmental authorities.  The Company is unable to quantify the impact on our business at this time, but it could have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements in the future.

 

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law.  Refer to Note 12, Taxes, for more information on the CARES Act.

 

 

Segment Descriptions

 

As a result of the Company’s segment analysis in the fourth quarter of 2019, Mexico met the requirements to be classified as a reportable segment (previously included as a non-reportable segment).  All prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the Company’s current reporting structure.  

 

The Company’s segment and product and service offerings are summarized below

 

  

Magazines, Catalogs and Logistics

 

The Magazines, Catalogs and Logistics segment primarily produces magazines and catalogs and provides logistics solutions to the Company and other third parties.  The segment also provides certain other print-related services, including mail services.  The segment has operations primarily in the U.S.  The Magazines, Catalogs and Logistics segment is divided into two reporting units: magazines and catalogs; and logistics.

 

 

Book

 

The Book segment produces books for publishers primarily in the U.S.  The segment also provides supply-chain management services and warehousing and fulfillment services, as well as e-book formatting for book publishers.  

 

 

Office Products

 

The Office Products segment manufactures and sells branded and private label products in five core categories: filing products, envelopes, note-taking products, binder products, and forms. 

 

 

Mexico

 

Mexico produces magazines, catalogs, statements, forms, and labels. 

 

 

33


 

Other

 

The Other grouping consists of the following non-reportable segments: Directories and Print Management.  Print Management provides outsourced print procurement and management services.  

 

    

Corporate

 

Corporate consists of unallocated selling, general and administrative activities and associated expenses including executive, legal, finance, communications, certain facility costs and last in, first out (“LIFO”) inventory provisions.  In addition, share-based compensation expense is included in Corporate and not allocated to the operating segments.

 

Outlook

 

Competitive Environment

 

According to the December 2019 IBIS World industry report “Printing in the U.S.,” estimated total annual printing industry revenue is approximately $80 billion, of which approximately $13 billion relates to our core segments of the print market and an additional approximately $33 billion pertains to related segments of the print market in which we are able to offer certain products. Despite consolidation in recent years, including several acquisitions completed by LSC Communications, the industry remains highly fragmented and LSC Communications is one of the largest players in our segment of the print market.  The print and related services industry, in general, continues to have excess capacity and LSC Communications remains diligent in proactively identifying plant consolidation opportunities to keep our capacity in line with demand.  Across the Company’s range of print products and services, competition is based primarily on the ability to deliver products for the lowest total cost, a factor driven not only by price, but also by materials and distribution costs.  We expect that prices for print products and services will continue to be a focal point for customers in coming years. 

 

Value-added services, such as LSC Communications’ co-mail, logistics and supply chain management offerings, enable customers to lower their total costs. 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 our products and services.  

 

The Company’s product and service offerings have been impacted by the following:

 

 

The impact of digital technologies has been felt in many print products.  Digital technologies have impacted printed magazines as advertising spending continues to move from print to electronic media.  

 

Catalogs have experienced volume reductions as our customers allocate more of their spending to online resources and also face competition from online retailers resulting in retailer compression.

 

The effect of COVID-19 in 2020 on the industries the Company services.

 

The Company has seen an unprecedented drop in demand for magazines and catalogs, with the faster pace of decline in demand primarily due to the accelerated impact of digital disruption of demand for printed materials.

 

Educational books within the college market continue to be impacted by electronic substitution and other trends.  The K-12 educational sector continues to be focused on increasing digital distribution but there has been inconsistent adoption across school systems.

 

E-book substitution has impacted overall consumer print trade book volume, although e-book adoption rates have stabilized and industry-wide print book volume has been growing in recent years.  

 

Electronic communication and transaction technology has also continued to drive electronic substitution in directory printing, in part driven by cost pressures at key customers.

 

The future impact of technology on our business is difficult to predict; however, it is likely to result in additional expenditures to restructure impacted operations or develop new technologies. In addition, we have made targeted acquisitions and investments in our existing business to offer customers innovative services and solutions. Such acquisitions and investments include the acquisitions of Print Logistics in 2018 and Clark Group, Quality Park, Publishers Press, CREEL, Fairrington, and HudsonYards in 2017, which expanded our logistics, printing, digital, office products, and premedia capabilities, and Continuum in 2016, which expanded our print management capabilities.  These acquisitions and investments further secure our position as a technology leader in the industry.

 

34


 

Technological advancement and innovation continues to affect the overall demand for most of the products in our Office Products segment.  However, the overall market for our products remains large and we believe share growth is attainable.  We compete against a range of both domestic and international competitors in each of our product categories within the segment.  Due to the increasing percentage of private label products in the market, resellers have created a highly competitive environment where purchasing decisions are based largely on price, quality and the supplier’s ability to service the customer.  As consumer preferences shift towards private label, resellers have increased the pressure on suppliers to better differentiate their product offering, oftentimes through product exclusivity, product innovation and development of private label products.  We have experienced robust growth within our e-commerce channel, where a significant majority of our sales are branded products.

 

We have implemented a number of strategic initiatives to reduce our 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 are likely to 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.  We also review our operations and management structure on a regular basis to appropriately balance risks and opportunities to maximize efficiencies and to support our long-term strategic goals.

 

During late 2018 and early 2019, the Company performed a comprehensive review of the Company’s entire operations to identify new revenue opportunities and cost savings.  This review covered substantially all aspects of the Company – both operational and support functions – and involved key personnel from throughout the organization.  The resulting revenue opportunities and cost savings initiatives were approved by senior management in the first quarter of 2019 and are expected to be implemented over the next three years.  While the Company realized the benefits beginning in 2019 and expects to realize benefits at various points over the next three years, the Company has incurred $15 million of expense, of which $5 million was incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2020, relating to the implementation of certain identified initiatives.  As the Company continues to implement the identified initiatives, the Company expects to incur additional expense; however, the Company expects the resulting benefits (additional revenue and/or cost savings) to significantly exceed the additional expense.

 

 

Raw Materials  

 

We negotiate with suppliers to maximize our purchasing efficiencies.  The primary raw materials we use in our printed products are paper and ink.  We negotiate with paper suppliers to maximize our purchasing efficiencies and use a wide variety of paper grades and formats. In addition, a substantial amount of paper used in our printed products is supplied directly by customers.  Variations in the cost and supply of certain paper grades used in the manufacturing process may affect our consolidated financial results.  Generally, customers directly absorb the impact of changing prices on customer-supplied paper.  For paper that we purchase, we have historically passed most changes in price through to our customers.  We entered into a paper consignment agreement at the end of 2019 that will encompass substantially all of LSC Communications’ purchased paper by mid-2020 to reduce our working capital.

Contractual arrangements and industry practice should support our continued ability to pass on any future paper price increases, but there is no assurance that market conditions will continue to enable us to successfully do so.  Higher paper prices and tight paper supplies may have an impact on customers’ demand for printed products.  We also resell waste paper and other print-related by-products and may be impacted by changes in prices for these by-products.

 

We use a wide variety of ink formulations and colors in our manufacturing processes. Variations in the cost and supply of certain ink formulations may affect our consolidated financial results. We have undertaken various strategic initiatives to try to mitigate any foreseeable supply disruptions with respect to our ink requirements, including entering into a long term supply arrangement with a single supplier for a substantial portion of our ink supply.  Certain contractual protections exist in our relationship with such supplier, such as price and quality protections and an ability to seek alternative sources of ink if the supplier breaches or is unable to perform certain of its obligations, which are intended to mitigate the risk of ink-related supply disruptions.

 

The primary materials used in the Office Products segment are paper, steel and polypropylene substrates. We negotiate with leading paper, plastic and steel suppliers to maximize our purchasing efficiencies.  All of these materials are available from a number of domestic and international suppliers and we are not dependent upon any single supplier for any of these materials.  We believe that adequate supply is available for each of these materials for the foreseeable future, although higher paper prices may have an impact on demand for our products.

 

Changes in material prices, including paper, may impact the Company’s operating margins as there may be a lag between when the Company experiences the changes and when they are absorbed by our customers.  

 

35


 

Except for our long-term supply arrangement regarding ink and paper consignment agreement, we do not consider ourselves to be dependent upon any single vendor as a source of supply for our businesses, and we believe that sufficient alternative sources for the same, similar or alternative products are available.

 

Changes in the price of raw materials, crude oil and other energy costs impact our manufacturing costs. Crude oil and energy prices continue to be volatile. Should prices increase, we generally cannot pass on to customers the impact of higher energy prices on our manufacturing costs.  We do enter into fixed price contracts for a portion of our natural gas purchases to mitigate the impact of changes in energy prices.  We cannot predict sudden changes in energy prices and the impact that possible future changes in energy prices might have upon either future operating costs or customer demand and the related impact either will have on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations, balance sheets and cash flows.

 

 

Pension Benefit Plans

 

The funded status of the Company’s pension benefit plans is dependent upon many factors, including returns on invested assets and the level of certain market interest rates.  Market conditions may lead to changes in the discount rates (used to value the year-end benefit obligations of the plans) and the market value of the securities held by the plans, which could significantly increase or decrease the funded status of the plans.  The Company reviews its actuarial assumptions on an annual basis as of December 31.  Based on current estimates, the Company expects to make cash contributions of approximately $6 million to its pension benefit plans for the full year in 2020, of which $1 million has been contributed during the three months ended March 31, 2020.  

 

Beginning in the first quarter of 2020, the Company changed the method of accounting for the market-related value of assets for a class of assets within the U.S. Qualified Plan and Non-Qualified plans.  The change in accounting method was retrospectively applied to periods in 2017, 2018 and 2019.  Refer to Note 1, Overview and Basis of Presentation, for more information.

 

Based on the fair value of assets and the estimated discount rate used to value benefit obligations as of March 31, 2020, the Company estimates the unfunded status of the pension benefit plans to be approximately $113 million compared to $162 million at December 31, 2019.     

 

See Note 11, Retirement Plans, for more information on the Company’s pension benefit plans.

 

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies disclosed in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2019.

Condensed Consolidated Results              

 

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $701 million, a decrease of $144 million, or 17.0%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019.  Net sales were impacted by lower volume in magazines, catalogs and book products and a $41 million decrease in pass-through paper sales.

 

Total cost of sales decreased $119 million, or 16.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019, primarily driven by lower volume and cost control initiatives.

 

As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales increased from 87.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to 87.9% for three months ended March 31, 2020 primarily due to lower volume.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $10 million, or 11.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019, primarily due to higher expenses in 2019 related to the previously terminated merger agreement, lower volume and cost control initiatives.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded restructuring, impairment and other charges of $26 million. The charges primarily included:  

 

 

Net other restructuring charges of $22 million primarily due to facility costs, expenses to move equipment, costs associated with new revenue opportunities and cost savings initiatives implemented in 2019; and

 

Employee termination costs of $3 million related to an aggregate of 397 employees, of whom 197 were terminated as of or prior to March 31, 2020 primarily related to the closure of one facility closure in the Office Products segment.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded restructuring, impairment and other charges of $13 million. The charges primarily included:    

 

 

Net other restructuring charges of $6 million primarily due to charges related to facility costs and costs associated with new revenue opportunities and cost savings initiatives implemented during the quarter;

37


 

 

Employee termination costs of $5 million related to an aggregate of 240 employees, of whom 16 were terminated as of or prior to March 31, 2019 primarily related to the closure of one facility in the Magazines, Catalogs and Logistics segment; and

 

$2 million of net impairment charges related to machinery and equipment associated with facility closings in the Magazines, Catalogs and Logistics segment.

 

Depreciation and amortization decreased $4 million to $27 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019, due to decreased capital spending in recent years compared to historical levels.

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 reflects the impact of nondeductible merger costs and share-based compensation awards that either lapsed or vested.

Net sales for the Book segment for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $204 million, a decrease of $56 million, or 21.4%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019, primarily due to lower volume in educational and digitally-printed books and a $9 million decrease in pass-through paper sales.

 

The decrease in the operating income and margins was driven by lower volume and higher restructuring, impairment and other charges.

Net sales for the Office Products segment for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $112 million, a decrease of $7 million, or 5.6%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019, largely as a result of lower volume in envelopes and notetaking products, partially offset by higher volume in filing products.

 

The decrease in Office Products segment income from operations and operating margin was primarily due to higher restructuring, impairment and other charges and lower volume, partially offset by cost control initiatives.

Net sales for the Other grouping for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $35 million, a decrease of $4 million, or 10.6%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019, primarily due to a $4 million decrease in pass-through paper sales and lower directories volume.

 

The increase in income from operations and change in operating margins was primarily due to cost control initiatives and mix of work.

Non-GAAP Measures   

 

The Company believes that certain non-GAAP measures, such as Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, provide useful information about the Company’s operating results and enhance the overall ability to assess the Company’s financial performance.  The Company uses these 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.  Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA allows investors to make a more meaningful comparison between the Company’s core business operating results over different periods of time.  The Company believes that Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, when viewed with the Company’s results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations, provides useful information about the Company’s business without regard to potential distortions.  By eliminating potential differences in results of operations between periods caused by factors such as depreciation and amortization methods and restructuring, impairment and other charges, the Company believes that Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful additional basis for comparing the current performance of the underlying operations being evaluated.

 

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is not presented in accordance with GAAP and has important limitations as an analytical tool.  Readers should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.  In addition, these measures are defined differently by different companies in our industry and, accordingly, such measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies.          

40


 

 

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA excludes restructuring, impairment and other charges-net, share-based compensation expense, settlement of retirement benefit obligations, and expenses related to acquisitions, merger agreement and dispositions.  In the first quarter of 2020, the Company began including share-based compensation expense as a non-GAAP measure.  As the share-based compensation expense recorded in the current period represents expense for previously issued grants that will vest at a lower share price than originally expensed, management determined that share-based compensation expense represents a non-GAAP measure.  Share-based compensation expense was $1 million and $3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The reconciliation for the three months ended March 31, 2019 below has been restated to reflect this change.

 

A reconciliation of GAAP net income to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 is presented in the following table:

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

 

Operating cash inflows are largely attributable to sales of the Company’s products.  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 $39 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $24 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The change was primarily due to a decrease in sales volume, an increase in restructuring payments and an increase in prepaid expenses, partially offset by improvements in timing of customer payments received and vendor payments made and by a decrease in inventory.

 

 

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $9 million compared to $31 million for the same period in 2019.  The decrease was primarily due to $17 million of lower capital expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019.

 

 

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $2 million compared to $46 million for the same period in 2019. There was minimal financing activity during the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the following significant activity during the three months ended March 31, 2019:

 

 

$67 million of net proceeds from credit facility borrowings;

 

$11 million in payments of current maturities and long-term debt; and

 

$9 million of dividends paid.

 

 

Dividends

 

As a result of the DIP Credit Agreement, the Company is restricted from issuing dividend payments.

 

  

LIQUIDITY

 

Cash and cash equivalents were $56 million and $105 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

 

The Company’s cash balances are held in several locations throughout the world, including amounts held outside of the United States.  Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2020 included $40 million in the U.S. and $16 million at international locations.

 

Until September 30, 2019, the Company maintained cash pooling structures that enabled participating international locations to draw on the pools’ cash resources to meet local liquidity needs.  Foreign cash balances were permitted to be loaned from certain cash pools to U.S. operating entities on a temporary basis in order to reduce the Company’s short-term borrowing costs or for other purposes.   The pooling structure was discontinued in October 2019. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $249 million of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and had no availability to further draw. Additionally, the Company had $51 million in outstanding letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2020.

 

 

Debt Issuances

 

On September 30, 2016, the Company issued $450 million of Senior Secured Notes (the “Senior Notes”).  

 

On September 30, 2016 the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) that provides for (i) a senior secured term loan B facility in an aggregate principal amount of $375 million (the “Term Loan Facility”) and (ii) a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $400 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which was reduced to $300 million per the amendment effective on August 5, 2019.  The debt issuance costs and original issue discount are being amortized over the life of the facilities using the effective interest method. 

 

42


 

The Credit Agreement is subject to a number of covenants, including, but not limited to, a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio and a Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in and calculated pursuant to the Credit Agreement, that, in part, restrict the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, engage in mergers and consolidations, make restricted payments and dispose of certain assets. Each of these covenants is subject to important exceptions and qualifications.  

 

 

Credit Agreement Amendments

 

On December 20, 2018, the Company amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, defer certain changes to the minimum Interest Coverage Ratio and the maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio.  Effective August 5, 2019, the Company further amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, defer certain changes to the minimum Interest Coverage Ratio and the maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio.  The following summarizes the changes to the minimum Interest Coverage Ratio and the maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio:

Other terms, including the outstanding principal, maturity date and other debt covenants remained the same under the December 20, 2018 amendment.    

 

The August 5, 2019 amendment resulted in a reduction in the Revolving Credit Facility aggregate principal amount from $400 million to $300 million and removed the general allowance to pay annual dividends of up to $50 million.  The August 5, 2019 amendment included other changes that generally further restrict the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, engage in mergers and consolidations, make restricted payments and dispose of certain assets.  The outstanding principal and maturity date of the Term Loan Facility remains the same, while the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility remains the same.

 

 

Waiver, Forbearance Agreement and Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement

 

Based on final results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company concluded it was not in compliance with the Consolidated Leverage Ratio and Minimum Interest Ratio contained in the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2019.  The noncompliance occurred on the last day of the fourth quarter due to the following: the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio exceeded the maximum level permitted and the Company’s Minimum Interest Ratio was below the minimum level permitted.  On March 2, 2020, the Company entered into a Waiver, Forbearance Agreement and Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement with lenders constituting a majority under the Credit Agreement that governs the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility. The Waiver, Forbearance Agreement and Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement waived the defaults or events of default that occurred as a result of the financial covenant noncompliance on December 31, 2019 and prevented the lenders from directing the Administrative Agent to accelerate the debt or exercise other remedies as a result of certain other potential defaults or events of default which may occur under the Credit Agreement (the “Potential Defaults”), through the period ended May 14, 2020 (such period, the “Forbearance Period”).  As a result of the noncompliance as of December, 31, 2019, the Company annual report on Form 10-K disclosed there was substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

 

43


 

Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11

 

The commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default with respect to the Senior Notes, the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility (the “Debt Instruments”).  The Debt Instruments provide that as a result of the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, the principal and interest due thereunder shall be immediately due and payable.  Any efforts to enforce payment obligations under the Debt Instruments will be automatically stayed as a result of the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, and the creditors’ right of enforcement in respect of the Debt Instruments are subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

 

Debtor-in-Possession Financing

  

As previously disclosed, on April 15, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into a Superpriority Secured Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement (the “DIP Credit Agreement”), upon the entry of an interim order of the Bankruptcy Court granting interim approval of the DIP Credit Agreement, among the Company, as borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “DIP Lenders”) and Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “DIP Agent”), pursuant to which the DIP Lenders committed to provide a senior secured superpriority debtor-in-possession credit facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $100 million (the “DIP Facility”).  

The DIP Facility consists of (i) revolving loans not to exceed an aggregate amount of $55 million (the “Revolving Loans”), subject to the limitation in the next succeeding sentence, and (ii) letters of credit not to exceed an aggregate amount of $45 million, with $5 million of that amount being available for the issuance of new letters of credit (together with the Revolving Loans, the “DIP Loan Commitments”).  During the interim period prior to the entry of a final order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing the DIP Facility (the “Final Order”), the Company’s capacity to incur Revolving Loans is limited to an aggregate amount of up to $27.5 million.

 

Borrowings under the DIP Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (i) the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) plus 5.75%, or (ii) LIBOR plus 6.75%.  Upon an event of default under the DIP Credit Agreement (an “Event of Default”), an additional 2.00% may be added to the Interest Rate.  In addition, the Company is required to pay (i) an unused line fee of 0.50% per annum (payable quarterly in arrears) on the average daily unused portion of the DIP Loan Commitments, (ii) a commitment fee of (x) 1.00% per annum on the DIP Loan Commitments, regardless of usage, plus (y) $100,000 per week for the first 20 weeks after the Closing Date, in each case, payable quarterly in arrears, (iii) a participation fee equal to 6.75% multiplied by the amounts available to be drawn under outstanding letters of credit, payable quarterly, and (iv) a fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum on amounts available to be drawn under outstanding letters of credit, payable quarterly.

 

Proceeds of the loans made under the DIP Facility may be used only for the following purposes: (i) working capital and other general corporate purposes, including the payment of professional fees and expenses, (ii) to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of the DIP Agent and the DIP Lenders (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and financial advisors), (iii) to pay claims in respect of certain prepetition creditors, (iv) to repay indebtedness owed to holders of the Prepetition Priority Payment Obligations (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) (the “Prepetition Revolving Lenders”), and (v) making adequate protection payments to the Prepetition Revolving Lenders, the Prepetition Term Lenders and the Prepetition Secured Noteholders (each as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement).

 

In connection with the DIP Credit Agreement, certain subsidiaries of the Company became parties to a guarantee agreement as guarantors (collectively, the “Guarantors,” and together with the Company, the “DIP Credit Parties”). Each of the Guarantors is a debtor and debtor-in-possession in the Chapter 11 Cases.  The Guarantors have guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, all of the obligations under the DIP Facility.  To secure the obligations under the DIP Facility, the Company and the Guarantors have granted liens on substantially all of their assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.

 

The DIP Facility will mature on the earliest of the following dates: (i) unless the Final Order is entered, May 15, 2020, (ii) the date upon which any Plan of Reorganization (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) becomes effective, or (iii) the six-month anniversary following the Petition Date, provided that such maturity may be extended with the consent of the Required Lenders (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) to a date no later than nine months after the Petition Date.

 

The DIP Credit Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that are customary for debtor-in-possession facilities of this type, including, but not limited to, certain case milestones, specified restrictions on indebtedness, liens, guarantee obligations, liquidations and dissolutions, sales of assets, leases, payment of dividends and other restricted payments, voluntary payments of other indebtedness, investments, loans and advances, transactions with affiliates, sale and leaseback transactions and compliance with case milestones. The DIP Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default for facilities of this type, including failure to achieve the milestones and the occurrence of certain events in the Chapter 11 Cases.

44


 

 

The DIP Facility is subject to final approval by the Bankruptcy Court.

MANAGEMENT OF MARKET RISK

 

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its variable debt and price risk on its fixed-rate debt.  At March 31, 2020, the Company’s variable-interest borrowings were $471 million, or approximately 51.1%, of the Company’s total debt.

 

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 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, 2020 by approximately $10 million.  

 

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 forward contracts to hedge the currency risk.  The Company is primarily exposed to the currencies of the Canadian dollar and Mexican peso.  The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  As of March 31, 2020 an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2020 were effective in ensuring information required to be disclosed in the Company’s SEC reports was recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information was accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

 

For a discussion of certain litigation involving the Company, see Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies, to the condensed consolidated financial statements.     

 

  

Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11  

 

As discussed more fully in Note 1, Overview and Basis of Presentation, to the condensed consolidated financial statements, on April 13, 2020 (the “Petition Date”), the Company and certain of its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101-1532 (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”) (collectively, the “Chapter 11 Cases”).  The Chapter 11 Cases are being jointly administered under the caption In re LSC Communications, Inc., 20-10950.  We and our subsidiaries that are involved in the Chapter 11 Cases will continue to operate our businesses as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

On April 15, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered orders granting interim approval of certain forms of relief that we requested, enabling the Company to conduct our business activities in the ordinary course, subject to the terms and conditions of such orders, including authorizing us to pay employee wages and benefits, to pay taxes and certain governmental fees and charges, to continue to operate our cash management system in the ordinary course, and to pay prepetition claims of certain of our vendors.  For goods and services provided following the Petition Date, the Company expects to continue to pay vendors under normal terms.  

 

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS  

 

Other than the risk factors noted below, there have been no significant changes to the risk factors disclosed in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the SEC on March 2, 2020:

 

 

We are subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with Chapter 11 proceedings.

 

For the duration of the Chapter 11 Cases, our operations and our ability to develop and execute our business plan, as well as our continuation as a going concern, are subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with bankruptcy, including:

 

 

our ability to develop, confirm and consummate a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization or alternative restructuring transaction;

 

our ability to obtain Bankruptcy Court approval with respect to motions filed in the Chapter 11 Cases from time to time;

 

our ability to maintain our relationships with our suppliers, service providers, customers, employees and other third parties;

 

our ability to maintain contracts that are critical to our operations;

 

our ability to develop and execute our business plan;

 

our ability to obtain acceptable and appropriate financing;

 

the ability of third parties to seek and obtain Bankruptcy Court approval to terminate contracts and other agreements with us;

 

the ability of third parties to seek and obtain Bankruptcy Court approval to terminate or shorten the exclusivity period for us to propose and confirm a Chapter 11 plan, to appoint a Chapter 11 trustee, or to convert the Chapter 11 Cases to a Chapter 7 proceeding; and

 

the actions and decisions of our creditors and other third parties who have interests in our Chapter 11 Cases that may be inconsistent with our plans.

 

Because of the risks and uncertainties associated with the Chapter 11 Cases, we cannot accurately predict or quantify the ultimate impact of events that will occur during the Chapter 11 Cases that may be inconsistent with our plans.

 

49


 

Operating under Bankruptcy Court protection for a long period of time may harm our business.

 

A long period of operations under Bankruptcy Court protection could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.  During the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, our senior management will be required to spend a significant amount of time and effort dealing with the reorganization instead of focusing exclusively on our business operations.  A prolonged period of operating under Bankruptcy Court protection also may make it more difficult to retain management and other key personnel necessary to the success and growth of our business.  In addition, the longer the Chapter 11 Cases continue, the more likely it is that our customers and suppliers will lose confidence in our ability to reorganize our business successfully and will seek to establish alternative commercial relationships.  Furthermore, so long as the Chapter 11 Cases continue, we will be required to incur substantial costs for professional fees and other expenses associated with the administration of the Chapter 11 Cases.

 

We may not be able to obtain confirmation of a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization or complete any Bankruptcy Court-approved sales of our Company or assets, or we may not be able to realize adequate consideration for such sales.

 

In connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, we may attempt to sell all or certain of our assets pursuant to a sale under section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise reorganize the Company pursuant to a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization (each, a “Transaction”).  There can be no assurance that we will be successful in completing any Transactions because there may not be buyers willing to enter into any Transactions, we may not receive sufficient consideration for such assets, or there may be objections from our stakeholders.  If we are unable to complete these Transactions, it may be necessary to seek additional funding sources or possibly convert to a Chapter 7 liquidation process.  If these Transactions are completed, they may not generate the anticipated or desired outcomes.

 

Additionally, to successfully obtain confirmation of a plan of reorganization, we must meet certain statutory requirements with respect to adequacy of disclosure with respect to the Chapter 11 plan of reorganization, solicit and obtain the requisite acceptances of such a plan and fulfill other statutory conditions for confirmation of such plan, which have not occurred to date.  

 

Even if a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization is consummated, we may not be able to achieve our stated goals and there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Even if a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization is consummated, we may continue to face a number of risks, such as further deterioration in economic conditions, changes in our industry, changes in demand for our products and increasing expenses.  Some of these risks become more acute when a case under the Bankruptcy Code continues for a protracted period without indication of how or when the case may be completed.  As a result of these risks and others, we cannot guarantee that any Chapter 11 plan of reorganization will achieve our stated goals.

 

As a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, our financial results may be volatile and may not reflect historical trends.

 

During the Chapter 11 Cases, we expect our financial results to continue to be volatile as restructuring activities and expenses, contract terminations and rejections, and claims assessments significantly impact our consolidated financial statements.  As a result, our historical financial performance is likely not indicative of our financial performance after the date of the bankruptcy filing.  In addition, if we emerge from the Chapter 11 Cases, the amounts reported in subsequent consolidated financial statements may materially change relative to historical consolidated financial statements, including as a result of revisions to our operating plans pursuant to a plan of reorganization.  We also may be required to adopt fresh-start accounting, in which case our assets and liabilities will be recorded at fair value as of the fresh start reporting date, which may differ materially from the recorded values of assets and liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.  Our financial results after the application of fresh-start accounting also may be different from historical trends.

 

We may be subject to claims that will not be discharged in the Chapter 11 proceedings, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

The Bankruptcy Code provides that the confirmation of a plan of reorganization discharges a debtor from substantially all debts arising prior to confirmation.  With few exceptions, all claims that arose prior to confirmation of a plan of reorganization (i) would be subject to compromise and/or treatment under the plan of reorganization and/or (ii) would be discharged in accordance with the terms of such plan of reorganization.  Any claims not ultimately discharged through the plan of reorganization could be asserted against the reorganized entities and may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations on a post-reorganization basis.

 

50


 

We may experience increased levels of employee attrition as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases.

 

As a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, we may experience increased levels of employee attrition, and our employees likely will face considerable distraction and uncertainty.  A loss of key personnel or material erosion of employee morale could adversely affect our business and results of operations.  Our ability to engage, motivate and retain key employees or take other measures intended to motivate and incent key employees to remain with us through the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases is limited by restrictions on implementation of incentive programs under the Bankruptcy Code.  The loss of services of members of our senior management team could impair our ability to execute our strategy and implement operational initiatives, which would be likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

In certain instances, a Chapter 11 proceeding may be converted to a proceeding under Chapter 7.

 

There can be no assurance as to whether we will successfully reorganize and emerge from the Chapter 11 Cases or, if we do successfully reorganize, as to when we would emerge from the Chapter 11 Cases.  If the Bankruptcy Court finds that it would be in the best interest of creditors and/or the Debtors, the Bankruptcy Court may convert our Chapter 11 Cases to proceedings under Chapter 7. In such event, a Chapter 7 trustee would be appointed or elected to liquidate the Debtors’ assets for distribution in accordance with the priorities established by the Bankruptcy Code.  The Debtors believe that liquidation under Chapter 7 would result in significantly smaller distributions being made to the Debtors’ creditors than those provided for in a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization because of (i) the likelihood that the assets would have to be sold or otherwise disposed of in a disorderly fashion over a short period of time rather than reorganizing or selling in a controlled manner the Debtors’ businesses as a going concern, (ii) additional administrative expenses

involved in the appointment of a Chapter 7 trustee, and (iii) additional expenses and claims, some of which would be entitled to priority, that would be generated during the liquidation and from the rejection of leases and other executory contracts in connection with a cessation of operations.

 

We are subject to risks and uncertainties with respect to the actions and decisions of our creditors and other third parties who have interests in our Chapter 11 Cases that may be inconsistent with our plans.

 

These risks and uncertainties could significantly affect our business and operations in various ways.  For example, negative publicity or events associated with the Chapter 11 Cases have adversely affected, and could continue to adversely affect, our relationships with our vendors and employees, as well as with customers, which in turn could adversely affect our operations and financial condition.  In addition, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, we need Bankruptcy Court approval for transactions outside the ordinary course of business, which may limit our ability to respond to certain events in a timely manner or take advantage of certain opportunities.  Because of the risks and uncertainties associated with the Chapter 11 Cases, we cannot predict or quantify the ultimate impact that events occurring during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases will have on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or the certainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern.  As a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities are subject to uncertainty.  While operating under the protection of the Bankruptcy Code, and subject to Bankruptcy Court approval or otherwise as permitted in the normal course of business, we may sell or otherwise dispose of a portion

or all of our assets and liquidate or settle liabilities for amounts other than those reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Further, a plan of reorganization could materially change the amounts and classifications reported in our consolidated historical financial statements, which do not give effect to any adjustments to the carrying value of assets or amounts of liabilities that might be necessary as a consequence of confirmation of a plan of reorganization.

 

Trading in our securities during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases poses substantial risks.  

 

The Company’s stockholders are cautioned that it is possible that the Company’s stockholders will receive nothing in exchange for their common stock upon the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy and that the common stock will have no value and that trading in securities of the Company during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases will be highly speculative and will pose substantial risks.  It is possible the Company’s outstanding common stock and other securities may be cancelled and extinguished upon confirmation of a restructuring plan by the Bankruptcy Court.  In such an event, the Company’s stockholders and other security holders would not be entitled to receive or retain any cash, securities or other property on account of their cancelled securities.  Trading prices for the Company’s common stock and other securities may bear little or no relation to actual recovery, if any, by holders thereof in the Company’s Chapter 11 Cases.  Accordingly, the Company urges extreme caution with respect to existing and future investments in its securities.

51


 

The Debtors may be unable to comply with restrictions or with budget, liquidity or other covenants imposed by the agreements governing the DIP Facility.  Such non-compliance could result in an event of default under the DIP Credit Agreement that, if not cured or waived, would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The agreements governing the DIP Facility impose a number of restrictions on the Debtors.  Specifically, the terms of the credit agreements governing the DIP financing impose certain obligations including, among other things, affirmative covenants requiring the Company to provide financial information, budgets and other information to the agents under the DIP financing, and negative covenants restricting the Debtors’ ability to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens, dispose of assets, pay dividends or take certain other actions, in each case except as permitted by the terms and conditions of the DIP Credit Agreement.  Covenants under the DIP Credit Agreement include general affirmative covenants such as compliance with all applicable laws, preservation and maintenance of collateral and property (including maintenance of adequate insurance policies regarding collateral), preservation of the Debtors’ corporate existence, compliance with certain case milestones and use of the loans under the DIP Facility in accordance with the approved budget, as well as negative covenants such as prohibiting the Debtors from incurring or permitting any other debt, investments, liens or dispositions unless specifically permitted.  

 

The DIP Credit Agreement includes a series of milestones related to the Chapter 11 Cases.  The milestones require the Company to achieve a series of intermediate milestones and failure to comply with these covenants or milestones would result in an event of default under the DIP Credit Agreement and permit the DIP Lenders to accelerate the loans and otherwise exercise remedies under the loan documentation for the DIP Facility.  Our ability to comply with these provisions may be affected by events beyond our control and our failure to comply, or obtain a waiver in the event we cannot comply with a covenant or achieve a milestone, could result in an event of default under the agreements governing the DIP Facility.

 

We may not have sufficient cash to maintain our operations during the Chapter 11 Cases or fund our emergence from the bankruptcy.

 

Because of our financial condition, we will have heightened exposure to, and less ability to withstand, the operating risks that are customary in our industry, such as fluctuations in input prices and currency exchange rates.  Any of these factors could result in the need for substantial additional funding.  A number of other factors, including the Chapter 11 Cases, our financial results in recent years, our substantial indebtedness and the competitive environment we face, adversely affect the availability and terms of funding that might be available to us during, and upon emergence from, Chapter 11.  As such, we may not be able to source capital at rates acceptable to us, or at all, to fund our current operations or our exit from bankruptcy.  The inability to obtain necessary additional funding on acceptable terms would have a material adverse impact on us and on our ability to sustain our operations.

 

Our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected by pandemic infectious diseases, particularly the novel coronavirus strain known as COVID-19.

 

Pandemic infectious diseases, such as the current COVID-19 strain, may adversely impact our business, condensed consolidated results of operations and financial condition. COVID-19, as well as measures taken by governmental authorities and private actors to limit the spread of this virus, may interfere with the ability of our employees, suppliers, and other business providers to carry out their assigned tasks or supply materials at ordinary levels of performance relative to the conduct of our business which may cause us to materially curtail certain of our business operations. Moreover, as a large part of the Company's business involves sales of books and other products used in schools and school facilities, if COVID-19 related measures continue to result in widespread and lengthy school closings, the Company's condensed consolidated results of operations and financial condition will be adversely impacted.  Additionally, as COVID-19 has significantly impacted retailers' stores, distribution centers and supply chains, the Company expects to experience an adverse impact on our catalogs and office products businesses.  Disruption across many other industries has also significantly impact demand for advertising, which is expected to result in page count and volume reductions in magazines.
