R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company (NYSE: RRD) (“RRD” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for the third quarter of 2021.

Q3 Key messages

  • GAAP net sales, including the impact of foreign exchange, increased 6.4%; Non-GAAP organic net sales increased 5.5%; largely driven by strengthening demand for many of the Company’s products and services
  • GAAP and Non-GAAP income from operations exceeded prior year; both benefitted from higher sales and strong cost management despite supply chain challenges and inflation
  • GAAP operating margin improved 450 bps while Non-GAAP improved by 20 bps
  • GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.38 and Non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.57, both improved significantly from prior year
  • Cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $29 million compared to cash provided by operating activities of $25 million in the prior year period; current year results reflect working capital investments due to increased volume and inflation in addition to $33 million paid earlier this year to settle LSC bankruptcy-related claims and terminate certain interest rate swap agreements
  • Gross leverage ratio of 3.7x improved 1.0x from September 30, 2020; net leverage ratio of 3.2x improved 0.5x from the same period last year

“RRD delivered a very strong quarter through the continued execution of our well-defined strategic initiatives,” said Dan Knotts, RRD President and Chief Executive Officer. “We reported our second consecutive quarter of organic sales growth driven by strengthening client demand and higher volumes in our strategic product categories. Our Q3 adjusted income from operations was higher than our 2019 pre-pandemic earnings for the second consecutive quarter. Through the combination of organic sales growth and the ongoing successful management of our cost structure, we also delivered improved operating margins despite supply chain challenges and inflation. We further enhanced our financial flexibility with our debt level at the end of the quarter being down significantly from the prior year and representing the lowest debt level for any third quarter reported since the spin. Looking forward, the RRD team remains highly focused on driving sales growth, aggressively managing our cost structure to combat the challenges created by the global pandemic, inflationary pressures and supply chain disruptions, and further improving our financial flexibility.”

Net sales in the third quarter were $1.27 billion, up $76.5 million or 6.4% from the same period in 2020. Third quarter net sales benefitted $10.8 million due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The increase also includes higher volume reflecting strengthening demand for many of the Company’s products and services due to the continued recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Notably, net sales of Commercial Print products were up significantly due to strong demand for domestic trading cards as well as other printed products produced in China. In addition, higher demand for e-commerce sales have contributed to five consecutive quarters of net sales growth in the Company’s Labels and Packaging products.

Organic net sales increased 5.5%. The Business Services segment was up 7.1% on a GAAP basis and 5.9% on a non-GAAP organic basis while the Marketing Solutions segment was up 3.8% both on a GAAP and non-GAAP organic basis from the third quarter of 2020. The Business Services segment experienced continued growth in our strategic growth focus areas of Labels and Packaging in addition to continued growth from the pandemic recovery, which was partially offset by large one-time COVID-related projects in Supply Chain Management in the 2020 quarter. Net sales in Marketing Solutions experienced growth, led by higher volumes in Direct Marketing and Digital Print and Fulfillment.

Income from operations was $73.1 million in the third quarter of 2021 compared to income from operations of $15.9 million in the third quarter of 2020. The third quarter of 2021 included net restructuring, impairment and other charges of $4.0 million, a decrease from $54.2 million in the prior year period which included charges for LSC’s MEPP withdrawal obligations and higher employee termination costs.

Non-GAAP adjusted income from operations of $81.5 million increased $7.6 million from the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to the impact of higher net sales and ongoing cost control initiatives. This was partially offset by higher variable incentive compensation, unfavorable foreign exchange of approximately $7 million, which was driven by our operations in China, and continued inflation.

Earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders was $0.38 in the third quarter of 2021 compared to loss per share of $0.13 reported in the third quarter of 2020. The 2021 results benefitted from higher income from operations, including lower net restructuring, impairment and other charges and lower interest expense, partially offset by higher income tax expense.

Non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders of $0.57 in the third quarter of 2021 increased from $0.32 in the third quarter of 2020 primarily due to favorable income taxes, higher adjusted income from operations and lower interest expense.

Other highlights and information

Cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $29.0 million compared to cash provided by operating activities of $25.2 million in the prior year period. The increase in cash used from operations during 2021 is primarily driven by working capital due to increased volume and inflation, $23.9 million of LSC bankruptcy-related payments mostly associated with lump sum settlements for employee retirement obligations, higher tax and incentive compensation payments and a $9.2 million payment to terminate certain interest rate swap agreements. In addition, the prior year amount benefitted from payroll taxes being deferred as part of the CARES Act. These factors were partially offset by lower restructuring and interest payments in 2021 as compared to last year.

Capital expenditures in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $48.6 million compared to $54.4 million in the prior year period.

As of September 30, 2021, cash on hand was $223.5 million, down $65.3 million from December 31, 2020. Total debt outstanding at the end of the quarter was $1.51 billion, up $9.8 million from December 31, 2020 and down $508.4 million from September 30, 2020. Availability under the credit facility was $515.7 million at September 30, 2021. Total liquidity, including cash on hand, was $739.2 million, up from $542.6 million at September 30, 2020.

During 2020, the Company completed the sale of its DLS Worldwide, International Logistics and Courier Logistics businesses. The Company has reflected the Logistics businesses as discontinued operations, and the financial results of these businesses have been excluded from continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented unless otherwise noted.

Acquisition by Atlas

Use of Forward-Looking Statements

This communication includes certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of, and subject to the safe harbor created by, the federal securities laws, including statements related to the proposed acquisition of R. R. Donnelley & Sons Company (“RRD”) by affiliates of Atlas Holdings LLC (the “Transaction”). These forward-looking statements are based on RRD’s current expectations, estimates and projections regarding, among other things, the expected date of closing of the Transaction and the potential benefits thereof, its business and industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by RRD, all of which are subject to change. Forward-looking statements often contain words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “aims,” “plan,” “believe,” “could,” “seek,” “see,” “will,” “may,” “would,” “might,” “considered,” “potential,” “estimate,” “continue,” “likely,” “expect,” “target” or similar expressions or the negatives of these words or other comparable terminology that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes. By their nature, forward-looking statements address matters that involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend upon future circumstances that may or may not occur, such as the consummation of the Transaction and the anticipated benefits thereof. These and other forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future results and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Important risk factors that may cause such a difference include (i) the completion of the Transaction on anticipated terms and timing, including obtaining required stockholder and regulatory approvals, and the satisfaction of other conditions to the completion of the Transaction; (ii) significant transaction costs associated with the Transaction; (iii) potential litigation relating to the Transaction, including the effects of any outcomes related thereto; (iv) the risk that disruptions from the Transaction will harm RRD’s business, including current plans and operations; (v) the ability of RRD to retain and hire key personnel; (vi) potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the announcement or completion of the Transaction; (vii) legislative, regulatory and economic developments affecting RRD’s business; (viii) general economic and market developments and conditions; (ix) the evolving legal, regulatory and tax regimes under which RRD operates; (x) potential business uncertainty, including changes to existing business relationships, during the pendency of the Transaction that could affect RRD’s financial performance; (xi) certain restrictions during the pendency of the Transaction that may impact RRD’s ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions; (xii) continued availability of capital and financing and rating agency actions; (xiii) the ability of affiliates of Atlas Holdings LLC to obtain the necessary financing arrangements set forth in the commitment letters received in connection with the Transaction; (xiv) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Transaction, including in circumstances requiring RRD to pay a termination fee; (xv) unpredictability and severity of catastrophic events, including acts of terrorism, outbreak of war or hostilities or the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as RRD’s response to any of the aforementioned factors; (xvi) competitive responses to the Transaction; (xvii) the risks and uncertainties pertaining to RRD’s business, including those detailed under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in RRD’s public periodic filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”); and (xviii) the risks and uncertainties that will be described in the proxy statement to be filed by RRD with the SEC in connection with the Transaction (the “Proxy Statement”) and available from the sources indicated below. These risks, as well as other risks associated with the Transaction, will be more fully discussed in the Proxy Statement. While the list of factors presented here is, and the list of factors to be presented in the Proxy Statement will be, considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements. Consequences of material differences in results as compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things, business disruption, operational problems, financial loss, legal liability to third parties and similar risks, any of which could have a material impact on RRD’s financial condition, results of operations, credit rating or liquidity. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and RRD does not undertake to and specifically disclaims any obligation to publicly release the results of any updates or revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect future events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
