“Over the last year, we have taken a number of important steps to enhance LSC’s operational and financial position in response to significant changes in our industry,” said Thomas J. Quinlan III, LSC Communications’ Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our results for the first quarter reflect the ongoing impact of the shift to digital in the industry, as well as our aggressive initiatives to streamline our manufacturing footprint and drive productivity. In order to best position LSC for the future, we voluntarily entered a court-supervised restructuring process and have secured $100 million in new financing. At the same time, we, as well as our clients and vendors, have been impacted by the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, and our team is taking the necessary steps to fortify our business while continuing to meet our clients’ needs, supported by our improved liquidity. As always, our top priority is the health and safety of employees. I want to express my appreciation for our employees’ continued commitment to health and safety while at the same time continuing to serve our clients’ needs.”
Net Sales
First quarter net sales were $701 million, down $144 million, or 17.0%, from the first quarter of 2019. After adjusting for dispositions, changes in foreign exchange rates and pass-through paper sales, organic net sales decreased 11.2% from the first quarter of 2019. The decrease in organic net sales was largely due to lower educational book volumes and the ongoing impact of digital substitution on magazine and catalog volume.
GAAP Net Income/Loss
The first quarter 2020 net loss was $52 million, or $1.56 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $125 million, or $3.77 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2019. The first quarter 2020 net loss included after-tax charges of $27 million while the first quarter 2019 net loss included after-tax charges of $120 million. These items are excluded from the presentation of non-GAAP net income. Additional details regarding the amount and nature of these adjustments and other items are included in the attached schedules.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP Net Loss
Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2020 was $21 million, or 3.0% of net sales, compared to $43 million, or 5.1% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2019. The decrease in non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was driven by volume declines in the Magazines, Catalogs and Logistics and Book segments, the impact of lower by-products prices, and wage increases. These decreases were partially offset by the impact of ongoing company-wide productivity initiatives.
Non-GAAP net loss totaled $25 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2020 compared to non-GAAP net loss of $5 million, or $0.14 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2019. Reconciliations of net loss to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income are presented in the attached schedules.
Segment Results
The Company reports its results using the following segments (1) Magazines, Catalogs and Logistics, (2) Book, (3) Office Products, (4) Mexico, and (5) other, which includes Directory and Print Management.
Magazines, Catalogs and Logistics
First quarter net sales in Magazines, Catalogs and Logistics were $327 million, a decrease of 18.9%, from the first quarter of 2019. After adjusting for dispositions and pass-through paper sales, organic net sales decreased 10.2% from the first quarter of 2019. This organic decline is primarily due to ongoing volume declines driven by digital substitution for printed materials.
Magazines, Catalogs and Logistics GAAP loss from operations was $35 million, compared to loss from operations of $31 million in the first quarter of 2019. Segment non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter was a loss $13 million, compared to a loss of $5 million in the first quarter of 2019. The decline in Non-GAAP EBITDA was primarily due to volume declines and lower by-products prices, partially offset by productivity gains achieved through plant consolidations and the company’s cost savings program.
Book
First quarter net sales in Book were $204 million, a decrease of 21.4%, from the first quarter of 2019. After adjusting for pass-through paper sales, organic net sales decreased 18.0% from the first quarter of 2019. The organic net sales decrease was primarily driven by lower educational book volumes due to relatively high client and distribution channel inventory levels. In addition, religious book volumes declined temporarily as the Company transitioned its primary bible production capabilities to a different facility. This transition was completed early in the second quarter. These declines were partially offset by increases in trade volume.
Book GAAP loss from operations was $9 million, compared to income from operations of $13 million in the first quarter of 2019. Segment non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA in the quarter was $6 million and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin was 2.9%, compared to $26 million in the first quarter of 2019 with a margin of 10.0%. The decrease in non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to the volume declines and lower by-products prices, partially offset by productivity & cost reduction initiatives.
Office Products
First quarter net sales in Office Products were $112 million, a decrease of 5.6% compared to the first quarter of 2019. Sales declined on an organic basis from the first quarter of 2019 by 5.5%. The organic sales decline was primarily related to lower volume in envelopes, note-taking, and binder products, partially offset by higher volume in filing products.

Office Products income from operations was $7 million compared to $8 million in the first quarter of 2019. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA in the Office Products segment was $12 million for the quarter, an increase of $1 million compared to last year’s first quarter. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin increased 150 bps to 10.7% due the impact of plant consolidations, productivity and cost reduction initiatives.
Business Reorganization
As previously announced on April 13, 2020, the Company, along with most of its U.S. subsidiaries, has voluntarily filed for business reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.

Use of non-GAAP Information
This news release contains certain non-GAAP measures. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures, such as non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP net income/loss and free cash flow, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, provide useful information about the Company’s operating results and liquidity 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
LSC COMMUNICATIONS REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2020 RESULTS

relative performance of operations in planning, budgeting and reviewing the performance of its business. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP net income/loss and free cash flow allow 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, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP net income/loss and free cash flow, 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, historic cost and age of assets, financing and capital structures, taxation positions or regimes, restructuring, impairment and other charges and gain or loss on certain equity investments and asset sales, the Company believes that non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin and non-GAAP net income/loss can provide useful additional basis for comparing the current performance of the underlying operations being evaluated. By adjusting for the level of capital investment in operations, the Company believes that free cash flow can provide useful additional basis for understanding the Company’s ability to generate cash after capital investment and provides a comparison to peers with differing capital intensity.

| (a) | For the three months ended March 31, 2020, other restructuring charges included facility costs and costs to move equipment, expenses associated with new revenue opportunities, and implemented cost savings initiatives. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, other restructuring charges were 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 |
| (b) | For the three months ended March 31, 2020, employee-related termination costs primarily related to one facility closure in the Office Products segment. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, employee-related termination costs primarily resulted from the closure of one facility in the Magazines, Catalogs and Logistics segment. |
| (c) | For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded $1 million of net impairment charges related to machinery equipment in the Magazines, Catalogs and Logistics segment. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, 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. |
| (2) | Share-based compensation expense: The three months ended March 31, 2020 included pre-tax charges of $1 million ($1 million after-tax) related to the Company’s employee share-based compensation plans. The three months ended March 31, 2019 included pre-tax charges of $3 million ($3 million after-tax) also related to the Company’s employee share-based compensation plans, including the unfavorable impact associated with share-based compensation awards that lapsed during the period. |
| (3) | Settlement of retirement benefit obligations: During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company completed a partial settlement of its retirement benefit obligations, and as a result, the Company’s pension assets and liabilities were remeasured as of the settlement date. The Company recorded a pre-tax non-cash settlement charge of $132 million ($98 million after-tax) in settlement of retirement benefit obligations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. |
| (4) | Expenses related to acquisitions, the Merger Agreement and dispositions: The three months ended March 31, 2019 included pre-tax charges of $7 million ($6 million after-tax) primarily related to the Merger Agreement. |
| (5) | Income tax adjustments: The three months ended March 31, 2020 included an income tax provision of $1 million, primarily related to an adjustment to the valuation allowance on its U.S. deferred tax assets. |
Note: The income tax impact is calculated using the tax rate in effect for the non-GAAP adjustments. There was no tax benefit allocated to non-GAAP adjustments related to U.S. balances (majority of restructuring, impairment and other charges and all of share-based compensation) for the three months ended March 31, 2020 due to the Company’s valuation allowance in the U.S.

Credit Agreement
Background: On September 30, 2016, the Company entered into a $400 million senior secured revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) which expires on September 30, 2021. Effective August 5, 2019, the aggregate principal amount was reduced to $300 million as a result of an amendment to the Company’s Credit Agreement. The Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a number of covenants, including, but not limited to, a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio and a maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in and calculated pursuant to the Revolving Credit Facility, 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.
Noncompliance with Financial Covenants on December 31, 2019: 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 on 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.
Waiver, Forbearance Agreement and Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”): On March 2, 2020, LSC Communications entered into the Agreement with lenders under the Company’s primary Credit Agreement.
