Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block]

ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY

A core aspect of the Company’s business relies on technology and software; as a result, the security of those technologies and software, as well as the protection of the confidential information entrusted to the Company by its customers, are key components of the Company’s business and strategy. DFIN maintains many processes for identifying, assessing and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats. These processes are applied throughout the organization and are monitored, updated and assessed. DFIN has developed cybersecurity risk management processes that are integrated into the Company’s overall risk management system and designed to be comprehensive. Risk management committees such as the Enterprise Risk Management Committee and the Ethics and Compliance Committee regularly review the Company’s policies and procedures governing cybersecurity. These policies and procedures inform protocols that align cybersecurity risk assessment and mitigation to evolving risks and threat vectors that impact broader enterprise risk categories, promoting a comprehensive approach. These processes include the identification, assessment and management of material risks that are derived from cybersecurity threats.

DFIN engages assessors, consultants, auditors and specialized third parties to enhance the Company’s cybersecurity posture. These collaborations provide evaluations, audits and insights to fortify DFIN’s resilience against evolving cyber threats. The DFIN Cybersecurity Program is based upon industry leading frameworks, which include International Standardization Organization (“ISO”) 27001, the National Institute of Technology Cybersecurity Framework (“NIST CSF”) and Control Objectives for Information Technology (COBIT). The Company’s technologies and software must also comply with domestic and international regulatory and legal requirements. Ensuring that these technologies and software comply with those regulations is a key focus of the Company’s efforts. DFIN has cyber incident response partners that conduct penetration testing and other exercises throughout the year whereby cybersecurity controls effectiveness is evaluated and reported to management. DFIN engages a third-party auditor to ascertain its cybersecurity risk management effectiveness as a part of its enterprise ISO 27001 certification process. The ISO 27001 certification process is highly prescriptive and covers cyber risk management methodology, risk assessment and risk treatment. DFIN has adopted the NIST CSF and engages a consultant to periodically assess the Company’s NIST CSF profile and maturity. DFIN also obtains System and Organization Control (“SOC”) Type 2 certification demonstrating control effectiveness across multiple American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Trust Service Principle domains.

The Company leverages cybersecurity technologies designed to provide for the security of client, employee and business confidential data. The Company’s cybersecurity portfolio is inclusive of, but not limited to, data encryption, data masking, leading secure software development methodologies, application and network penetration testing, incident response, digital forensics, least-privileged access controls, anti-malware, end-point detection and response, virtual private networks and cyber threat intelligence. In addition, the Company manages a 24x7 Security Operations capability that monitors and responds to cyber threats.

DFIN maintains a comprehensive third-party risk management program, referred to as “Supply Chain Security.” The program evaluates critical suppliers for inherent risk and classifies suppliers according to the overall risk they present to the Company. The program also includes evaluations of existing suppliers and third parties for ongoing risk. A supplier’s classification rating determines the frequency with which it is evaluated. For example, those identified as critical suppliers are monitored on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if an event occurs that could elevate the risk, and assessed at a higher frequency than other suppliers. Generally, these reviews include an evaluation of the effectiveness of a supplier or third party’s cybersecurity along with the risks associated with adding and/or integrating this third party into the DFIN ecosystem. New and existing suppliers that are determined to pose a material risk may be rejected or have their contracts terminated. Supply chain and third-party risk continues to be a top cybersecurity threat vector, and DFIN’s robust processes continue to oversee and identify cybersecurity risks associated with the Company’s use of third-party service providers. The Company believes that its regular assessments and due diligence help mitigate potential vulnerabilities relating to these relationships.

DFIN’s initiatives and internal goals incorporate cybersecurity, including cyber risk requirements and cyber risk analysis. To deliver upon regulatory, client and Company cybersecurity objectives, the Company made investments to support processes, architectures and system operations models which specifically address cyber risk, including but not limited to threat detection and response capabilities, end point detection, incident response partnerships and other services provided by managed security service providers. The Company leverages cybersecurity technologies designed to ensure security of client, employee and business confidential data. Mitigating cybersecurity risk is also a part of DFIN’s overall business strategy and is further evidenced by programmatic endeavors such as adopting a Zero Trust Architecture wherein all users, systems, applications and networks are deemed untrusted and must be verified. Separately, part of DFIN’s corporate strategy includes maintaining adequate cybersecurity insurance. During the renewal process underwriters evaluate all aspects of DFIN’s cybersecurity posture, providing another annual evaluation of the Company’s cyber risk management.

Risks from cybersecurity threats, including those described in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors, factor into many facets of DFIN’s operations and have a direct influence on business strategy. For example, cybersecurity risk considerations may be factored into how DFIN’s products are designed and technology is selected. Cybersecurity risk also informs how the Company educates and trains its employees. In 2024, the Company conducted monthly simulations to train employees to detect and respond to various cyber attack vectors like phishing, vishing and smishing attempts and provides enhanced training to employees who fail a simulated cyber attack. DFIN also conducted quarterly IT training on topics such as risk detection and reporting, data handling and provided targeted cybersecurity threat awareness and training to executives during 2024. The Company reviews its Incident Response plans and conducts tabletop exercises throughout the year at different levels of the organization, including the executive team. These incident response and training initiatives are regularly evaluated to adapt to evolving cyber threats and awareness. The Company’s goal is to create an ethos of “security first” and “security by design” and to have a culture (and accountability) that security is the responsibility of every DFIN employee.

No material cybersecurity incident has been identified nor materially affected the Company’s business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition during the periods covered by the Annual Report. The Company’s goal is to continually assess potential incidents, enhance protocols, expand cyber risk capabilities to mitigate future risks and safeguard DFIN’s intellectual property, operations and client data.

DFIN’s Board and senior management are engaged in managing and overseeing the Company’s cyber risks. Internal Audit periodically reviews enterprise risk management topics as well as the effectiveness of information security controls and other procedures and reports significant findings to executive management, the Board or the Audit Committee, as appropriate. The Company’s Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”) has approximately 30 years of cybersecurity experience overseeing enterprise cybersecurity risk management and compliance programs and has responsibility for assessing and managing cybersecurity risks. The CISO reports to the Chief Information Officer and leads multiple cybersecurity functions that consist of Cyber Defense and Threat Intelligence, Application Security, Network Security Engineering, Security Architecture, Identity Services and IT Governance as well as Risk and Compliance functions. As the front line of defense against cybersecurity risks, these functions employ numerous tools, processes and procedures to detect attempted cyber attacks, prevent cyber threats and monitor cyber risks. The functions are also engaged in incident response should incidents occur and are accountable for remediating cyber threats, if manifested.

The Board maintains oversight of risk from cybersecurity threats and is regularly briefed regarding emerging cyber risks, mitigation strategies and incident response protocols directly from the CISO. The Board includes at least one cybersecurity subject matter expert. The CISO periodically engages with the Board in an executive session to provide updates related to threat landscapes, security initiatives and other cybersecurity awareness within DFIN. The Board participates in tabletop exercises to better understand the Company’s incident response planning and the Company maintains processes and procedures so that material risks or events are escalated and addressed appropriately.

Description of Business

Donnelley Financial Solutions, Inc. and subsidiaries (“DFIN” or the “Company”) is a leading global provider of innovative software and technology-enabled financial regulatory and compliance solutions. The Company provides regulatory filing and deal solutions via its software, technology-enabled services and print and distribution solutions to public and private companies, mutual funds and other regulated investment firms, to serve its clients’ regulatory and compliance needs. DFIN helps its clients comply with applicable regulations where and how they want to work in a digital world, providing numerous solutions tailored to each client’s business needs. The prevailing trend is toward clients choosing to utilize the Company’s software solutions, in conjunction with its tech-enabled services, to meet their document and filing needs, while at the same time shifting away from physical print and distribution of documents, except for when it is still regulatorily required or requested by investors.

The Company serves its clients’ regulatory and compliance needs throughout their respective life cycles. For its capital markets clients, the Company offers solutions that allow companies to comply with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regulations and support their corporate financial transactions and regulatory/financial reporting through the use of digital document creation and online content management tools; filing agent services, where applicable; solutions to facilitate clients’ communications with their investors; and virtual data rooms and other deal management solutions. For investment companies clients, the Company provides solutions that allow investment companies to comply with SEC regulations and support financial and regulatory reporting through the use of content management and technology-enabled solutions for creating, compiling and filing regulatory communications as well as digital-driven solutions for distributing content to investors.

Segments

The Company’s four operating and reportable segments are: Capital Markets – Software Solutions (“CM-SS”), Capital Markets – Compliance and Communications Management (“CM-CCM”), Investment Companies – Software Solutions (“IC-SS”) and Investment Companies – Compliance and Communications Management (“IC-CCM”). Corporate is not an operating segment and consists primarily of unallocated selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) activities and associated expenses. See Note 15, Segment Information, for additional information.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DFIN and all majority-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates—The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the extensive use of management’s estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for items and matters including, but not limited to, allowance for expected losses on accounts receivable, pension, goodwill and other intangible assets, asset valuations and useful lives, income taxes and other provisions and contingencies.

Foreign Operations—Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates existing at the respective balance sheet dates. Income and expense items are translated at the average rates during the respective periods. Translation adjustments resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates are recorded as a separate component of other comprehensive (loss) income while transaction gains and losses are recorded in net earnings. Deferred taxes are not provided on cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments when the Company expects foreign earnings to be indefinitely reinvested.

Fair Value Measurements—Certain assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The Company records the fair value of its pension plan assets on a recurring basis. See Note 7, Retirement Plans, for the fair value of the Company’s pension plan assets as of December 31, 2024.

In addition to assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company is required to record certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, generally as a result of acquisitions or the remeasurement of assets resulting in impairment charges. Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include long-lived assets held and used and goodwill. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their carrying values. The three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes valuation methodologies based on the reliability of the inputs, is as follows:

Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.

Level 2—Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3—Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants.

Revenue Recognition—The Company manages highly-customized data and materials to enable filings with the SEC on behalf of its customers related to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), as well as performs tagging of documents using Inline eXtensible Business Reporting Language (“iXBRL”) and other services. Clients are provided with SEC Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (“EDGAR”) filing services, iXBRL compliance services and translation, editing, interpreting, proof-reading and multilingual typesetting services, among other services. The Company provides software solutions to public and private companies, mutual funds and other regulated investment firms to serve their regulatory and compliance needs, including ActiveDisclosure®, the Arc Suite® software platform (“Arc Suite”) and Venue® Virtual Data Room (“Venue”), and provides digital document creation, online content management and print and distribution solutions.

The Company separately reports its net sales and related cost of sales for its software solutions, tech-enabled services and print and distribution offerings. The Company’s software solutions offerings include ActiveDisclosure, Arc Suite and Venue. The Company’s tech-enabled services offerings consist of document composition, compliance-related EDGAR filing services and transactional solutions. The Company’s print and distribution offerings primarily consist of conventional and digital printed products and related shipping. Refer to Note 2, Revenue, for a discussion of the Company’s revenue recognition.

Cash and cash equivalents—The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Short-term securities consist of investment grade instruments of governments, financial institutions and corporations.

Receivables—Receivables are stated net of expected losses and primarily include trade receivables as well as miscellaneous receivables from suppliers. The Company’s credit loss reserves primarily relate to trade receivables, unbilled receivables and contract assets. The Company established the provision at differing rates, which are region or country-specific, and are based upon the age of the trade receivable, the Company’s historical collection experience in each region or country and lines of business, where appropriate. Provisions for unbilled receivables and contract assets are established based on rates which management believes to be appropriate considering its historical experience. Specific customer provisions are made when a review of significant outstanding amounts, utilizing information about customer creditworthiness and current economic trends, indicates that collection is doubtful. Provisions for accounts receivable, unbilled receivables and contract assets are included in receivables, less allowances for expected losses on the audited Consolidated Balance Sheets. No single customer comprised more than 10% of net sales for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

Allowances for Expected Losses—Transactions affecting the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) reserve during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 were as follows:

Inventories, net—Inventories include material, labor and factory overhead and are stated at the lower of cost or market, net of excess and obsolescence reserves for raw materials. Provisions for excess and obsolete inventories are made at differing rates, utilizing historical data and current economic trends, based upon the age and type of the inventory or based on specific identification of inventories that will not be utilized in production or sold. Inventory is valued using the First-In, First-Out (“FIFO”) method.

Prepaid Expenses—Prepaid expenses as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $19.4 million and $13.2 million, respectively.

Assets Held for Sale—As of December 31, 2023, the Company had land held for sale with a carrying value of $2.6 million. On March 29, 2024, the Company sold the land for net proceeds of $13.2 million, of which $12.4 million was received in the first quarter of 2024 and $0.8 million of non-refundable fees were received in 2023. The Company recognized a net pre-tax gain of $10.6 million related to the sale, of which $9.8 million was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2024 and $0.8 million was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2023. The net pre-tax gain was recorded in other operating income, net on the audited Consolidated Statements of Operations within the Capital Markets - Compliance and Communications Management operating segment.

Property, Plant and Equipment, net—Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Useful lives range from 5 to 40 years for buildings, the lesser of 7 years or the lease term for leasehold improvements and from 3 to 13 years for machinery and equipment. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred. Major overhauls that extend the useful lives of existing assets are capitalized. When property, plant or equipment is retired or disposed, the costs and accumulated depreciation are eliminated and the resulting profit or loss is recognized in the results of operations.

The components of the Company’s property, plant and equipment, net at December 31, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, depreciation expense was $6.4 million, $8.4 million and $7.1 million, respectively.

Software, net—The Company incurs costs to develop its software-as-a-service applications as well as for internal-use. These costs include both direct costs from third-party vendors and eligible salaries and payroll-related costs of employees. The Company capitalizes software developments costs when management with the relevant authority authorizes and commits to the funding of the software project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the functions intended. Costs associated with upgrades and enhancements are capitalized only if such modifications result in additional functionality of the software, whereas costs incurred for preliminary project stage activities, training, project management and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Capitalized software development costs are amortized over their estimated useful life using the straight-line method, up to a maximum of three years. Amortization expense related to internally-developed software, excluding amortization expense related to other intangible assets, was $53.8 million, $45.5 million and $38.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Leases—The Company has operating leases for certain service centers, office space and equipment. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used in determining the present value of future payments at the commencement date of the lease. Balances related to operating leases are included in operating lease ROU assets, operating lease liabilities and noncurrent operating lease liabilities on the audited Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company’s finance leases are substantially all related to information technology equipment. For finance leases, interest expense on the lease liability is recognized based on the incremental borrowing rate and the ROU assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of the ROU assets. Balances related to finance leases are included in property, plant and equipment, net, accrued liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities on the audited Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Investments—The carrying value of the Company’s investments in equity securities was $5.8 million and $5.5 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company measures its equity securities that do not have a readily determinable fair value at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. The Company performs an assessment on a quarterly basis to assess whether triggering events for impairment exist and to identify any observable price changes.

In the first quarter of 2023, the Company sold an investment in an equity security. As a result of the sale, for the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company received proceeds of $11.9 million, including $9.0 million of cash and common stock of the acquirer. In the second quarter of 2023, the Company sold another investment in an equity security and received proceeds of $1.0 million in cash during the year ended December 31, 2023. The sales resulted in a net realized gain of $7.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, which is included in investment and other income, net on the audited Consolidated Statements of Operations within Corporate.

Goodwill—Goodwill is either assigned to a specific reporting unit or, in certain circumstances, allocated between reporting units based on the relative fair value of each reporting unit.

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually as of October 31 or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is below its carrying amount. The Company also performs an interim review for indicators of impairment at each quarter-end to assess whether an interim impairment review is required for any reporting unit.

For the annual goodwill impairment review, the Company has the option to perform a qualitative test or a quantitative test. When a qualitative assessment is performed, the Company considers various qualitative factors, including economic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance of the reporting unit and other entity and reporting unit specific events. Based on this qualitative analysis, if management determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying value, no further impairment testing is performed.

For reporting units where a quantitative method is used, the Company compares each reporting unit’s fair value, estimated based on comparable company market valuations and expected future discounted cash flows to be generated by the reporting unit, to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit is less than the fair value, no impairment exists. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds the estimated fair value, an impairment loss is recognized, generally in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

As of October 31, 2024, each of the reporting units with goodwill was reviewed for impairment using a qualitative assessment and the Company concluded that it was not more likely than not that the fair values of the reporting units were less than their carrying values and therefore there was no impairment. The Company’s assessment of goodwill impairment for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 also resulted in no impairment.

Share-Based Compensation—The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense based on estimated fair values for all share-based awards made to employees and directors, including restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance share units (“PSUs”). Share-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line or graded basis, depending on the type of an award. Certain of the Company’s awards vest on an annual basis whereas others cliff vest. See Note 12, Share-based Compensation, for further discussion.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits Plans—DFIN engages outside actuaries to assist in the determination of the obligations and costs under these plans, which were frozen to new participants effective December 31, 2011. The annual income and expense amounts relating to the pension and other postretirement benefits plans are based on calculations which include various actuarial assumptions including mortality expectations, discount rates and expected long-term rates of return. The Company reviews its actuarial assumptions on an annual basis and makes modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends when it is deemed appropriate to do so. The effects of modifications on the value of plan obligations and assets are recognized immediately within other comprehensive (loss) income and amortized into earnings over future periods. The Company believes that the assumptions utilized in recording its obligations under its plans are reasonable based on its experience, market conditions and input from its actuaries and investment advisors, see Note 7, Retirement Plans.

Income Taxes—Deferred taxes are provided using an asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. The Company includes deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities on the audited Consolidated Balance Sheets as either a net deferred tax asset or liability on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis. The Company maintains an income taxes payable or receivable account in each jurisdiction. The Company classifies interest expense and any related penalties related to income tax uncertainties as a component of income tax expense.

The Company is regularly audited by foreign and domestic tax authorities. These audits occasionally result in proposed assessments where the ultimate resolution might result in the Company owing additional taxes, including in some cases, penalties and interest. The Company recognizes a tax position in its financial statements when it is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. This recognized tax position is then measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Although management believes that its estimates are reasonable, the final outcome of uncertain tax positions may be materially different from that which is reflected in the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company adjusts such reserves upon changes in circumstances that would cause a change to the estimate of the ultimate liability, upon effective settlement or upon the expiration of the statute of limitations, in the period in which such event occurs. See Note 9, Income Taxes, for further discussion.

Commitments and Contingencies—The Company is subject to lawsuits, investigations and other claims and can be involved in various legal, regulatory and arbitration proceedings concerning matters arising in the ordinary course of business, see Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies. The Company routinely reviews the status of each significant matter and assesses the potential financial exposure. A liability is recorded when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When there is a range of possible losses with equal likelihood, a liability is recorded based on the low end of such range. Because of uncertainties related to these and other matters, accruals are based on the best information available at the time. The amount of such reserves may change in the future due to new developments or changes in approach, such as a change in settlement strategy. The inherent uncertainty related to the outcome of these matters can result in amounts materially different from the amounts accrued in the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Restructuring—The Company records restructuring charges associated with management-approved restructuring plans, which could include the elimination of job functions, closure or relocation of facilities, reorganization of operations, changes in management structure, workforce reductions or other actions. Restructuring charges may include ongoing and enhanced termination benefits related to employee separations, contract termination costs and other related costs associated with exit or disposal activities. Restructuring charges for employee terminations include management’s estimate as to the timing and amount of severance and actual results could differ from estimates. Severance benefits are provided to employees primarily under the Company’s ongoing benefit arrangements. These severance costs are accrued once management commits to a plan of termination and it becomes probable that employees will be separated and entitled to benefits at amounts that can be reasonably estimated. In some instances, the Company enhances its ongoing termination benefits with one-time termination benefits and employee severance costs to be incurred in relation to these restructuring activities are recognized when employees are notified of their enhanced termination benefits. See Note 6, Restructuring, Impairment and Other Charges, net, for further discussion.

Accrued Liabilities—The components of the Company’s accrued liabilities at December 31, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which requires that an entity disclose consistent categories and greater disaggregation of significant expenses by reportable segment, information regarding the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and how the CODM uses the reported measures in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources, among other amendments that expand segment reporting disclosures. ASU 2023-07 also requires that an entity disclose all information about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets currently required annually by FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280, Segment Reporting, in interim periods. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted the standard in the fourth quarter of 2024. See Note 15, Segment Information, for further details.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which requires that an entity disclose consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the income tax rate reconciliation, income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction, among other amendments that expand income tax disclosures. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its disclosures to the consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024 and January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,” and ASU No. 2025-01, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date,” respectively, which require that an entity disclose disaggregated information about specific natural expense categories underlying certain statement of operations expense line items that are considered relevant in a tabular format within the notes to the consolidated financial statements, among other amendments that expand statement of operations expense disclosures. The standards are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its disclosures to the consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

As further described in Note 1, Overview, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, the Company manages highly-customized data and materials to enable filings with the SEC on behalf of its customers as well as performs tagging of documents using iXBRL and other services. Clients are provided with EDGAR filing services, iXBRL compliance services and translation, editing, interpreting, proof-reading and multilingual typesetting services, among other services. The Company provides software solutions to public and private companies, mutual funds and other regulated investment firms to serve their regulatory and compliance needs, including ActiveDisclosure, Arc Suite and Venue, and provides digital document creation, online content management and print and distribution solutions.

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised services or products to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those services or products. The Company’s services include software solutions and tech-enabled services whereas the Company’s products are comprised of print and distribution offerings. The Company’s arrangements with customers often include promises to transfer multiple services or products to a customer. Determining whether services and products are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately requires significant judgment. Certain customer arrangements have multiple performance obligations as certain promises are both capable of being distinct and are distinct within the context of the contract. Other customer arrangements have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts, and therefore is not distinct.

Revenue for the Company’s software solutions, tech-enabled services and print and distribution offerings is recognized either over time or at a point in time, as outlined below.

Over time

The Company recognizes revenue for certain services over time.

•
The Company’s software solutions, including ActiveDisclosure, Arc Suite and Venue, are generally provided on a subscription basis and allow customers access to use software over the contract period. As a result, software solutions revenue is predominantly recognized over time as the customer receives the benefit throughout the contract period. The timing of invoicing varies, however, the customer may be invoiced before the end of the contract period, resulting in a deferred revenue balance.

Point in time

Certain revenue arrangements, primarily for tech-enabled services and print and distribution offerings, are recognized at a point in time and are primarily invoiced upon completion of all services or upon shipment.

•
Certain arrangements include multiple performance obligations and revenue is recognized upon completion of each performance obligation, such as when a document is filed with a regulatory agency and upon completion of printing the related document. For arrangements with multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations. When the Company provides customer specific solutions, observable standalone selling price is rarely available. As such, standalone selling price is determined using an estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct service or product, taking into consideration historical selling price by customer for each distinct service or product, if available. These estimates may vary from the final amounts invoiced to the customer and are adjusted upon completion of all performance obligations. Customers may be invoiced subsequent to the recognition of revenue for completed performance obligations, resulting in contract asset balances.
•
Revenue for arrangements without a regulatory filing generally have a single performance obligation. As the services and products provided are not distinct within the context of the contract, the revenue is recognized upon completion of the services performed or upon completion of printing of the related product.

Because substantially all of the Company’s products are customized, product returns are not significant.

The Company records deferred revenue when amounts are invoiced but the revenue recognition criteria are not yet met. Revenue is recognized when all criteria are subsequently met.

Certain revenues earned by the Company require significant judgment to determine if revenue should be recorded gross, as a principal, or net of related costs, as an agent. Billings for shipping and handling costs as well as certain postage costs, and out-of-pocket expenses are recorded gross. Revenue is not recognized for customer-supplied postage. Paper may be supplied directly by customers or may be purchased by the Company from third parties and sold to customers. Revenue is not recognized for customer-supplied paper; however, revenues for Company-supplied paper are recognized on a gross basis. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to authorities.

Incremental costs to obtain the contract, primarily commissions, are expensed as incurred when the amortization period of the asset is one year or less. Sales commissions for the initial year of a multi-year contract are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the contract. Sales commissions beyond the initial year are subject to an employee service requirement and are not capitalized as they are not considered incremental costs to obtain a contract.

Unbilled Receivables and Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers and these timing differences result in contract assets, unbilled receivables or contract liabilities. Contract assets represent revenue recognized for performance obligations completed before an unconditional right to payment exists and therefore invoicing has not yet occurred. The Company generally estimates contract assets based on the historical selling price adjusted for its current experience and expected resolution of the variable consideration of the completed performance obligation. When the Company’s contracts contain variable consideration, the variable consideration is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur in a future period. As a result, the estimated revenue and contract assets may be constrained until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved, which generally occurs in less than one year. Determining whether there will be a significant revenue reversal in the future and the determination of the amount of the constraint requires significant judgment.

Contract assets were $13.8 million and $16.3 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Generally, the contract assets balance is impacted by the recognition of additional revenue, amounts invoiced to customers and changes in the level of constraint applied to variable consideration. Amounts recognized as revenue exceeded the estimates for performance obligations satisfied in previous periods by approximately $24.3 million and $29.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, primarily due to changes in the Company's estimate of variable consideration and the application of the constraint.

Unbilled receivables are recorded when there is an unconditional right to payment and invoicing has not yet occurred. The Company estimates the value of unbilled receivables based on a combination of historical customer selling price and management’s assessment of realizable selling price. Unbilled receivables were $24.1 million and $21.6 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Unbilled receivables and contract assets are included in receivables, less allowances for expected losses on the audited Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue and progress billings, the majority of which is included in accrued liabilities on the audited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company recognized $40.0 million and $41.7 million of revenue during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, that was included in the deferred revenue balances at the beginning of the respective periods. Changes in contract liabilities were as follows:

Most of the Company’s contracts with significant remaining performance obligations have an initial expected duration of one year or less. As of December 31, 2024, the future estimated revenue related to unsatisfied or partially satisfied performance obligations under contracts with an original contractual term in excess of one year was approximately $171 million, of which approximately 47% is expected to be recognized as revenue over the succeeding twelve months, and the remainder recognized thereafter.

Leases [Abstract]  
Leases

Note 5. Leases

The Company has operating leases for certain service centers, office space and equipment as well as finance leases, substantially all related to information technology equipment. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company must consider whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset. Certain arrangements require significant judgment to determine if an asset is specified in the contract and if the Company directs how and for what purpose the asset is used during the term of the contract.

All real estate leases are recorded on the audited Consolidated Balance Sheets. Equipment and other non-real estate leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the audited Consolidated Balance Sheets. Lease agreements for some locations provide for rent escalations and renewal options. Lease terms include the option to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Certain real estate leases require payment for taxes, insurance and maintenance which are considered non-lease components. The Company accounts for real estate leases and the related fixed non-lease components together as a single component.

The Company has non-cancelable sublease rental arrangements which did not reduce the future maturities of the operating lease liabilities at December 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company’s future rental commitments for leases with subleases were approximately $4.7 million and $8.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company remains secondarily liable under these leases in the event that the sub-lessee defaults under the sublease terms. The Company does not believe that material payments will be required as a result of the secondary liability provisions of the primary lease agreements.

The components of lease expense for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 were as follows:

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]  
Retirement Plans

Note 7. Retirement Plans

The Company’s defined benefit plans are frozen. No new employees are permitted to enter the Company’s frozen plans and participants do not earn additional benefits. Benefits are generally based upon years of service and compensation. These defined benefit retirement income plans are funded in conformity with the applicable government regulations. The Company funds at least the minimum amount required for all funded plans using actuarial cost methods and assumptions acceptable under government regulations.

In August 2024, the Company executed an amendment to commence the process of terminating the Company’s primary defined benefit plan (the “Plan”). The Plan’s benefit obligation is expected to be settled by offering lump sum distributions to participants, followed by the purchase of annuity contracts to transfer the Plan’s remaining obligation to a third party. As settlement of the obligation will be funded with Plan assets, the Company expects to make a cash contribution to fully fund the Plan in 2025. The cash contribution amount will depend upon the nature and timing of participant lump sum settlements and prevailing market conditions. As termination of the Plan is considered probable, the Plan’s actuarial assumptions as of December 31, 2024 reflect the expected Plan termination. Pension settlement charges related to the Plan termination, which include the recognition of Plan losses recorded within accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Company’s audited Consolidated Balance Sheets, are currently expected to occur in the second half of 2025. Finalization of the Plan termination is subject to certain conditions, including regulatory review, and the Company has the ability to change the effective date of the termination or revoke the decision to terminate the Plan.

The annual income and expense amounts relating to the pension plans are based on calculations, which include various actuarial assumptions including mortality expectations, discount rates and expected long-term rates of return. The Company reviews its actuarial assumptions on an annual basis as of December 31 (or more frequently if a significant event requiring remeasurement occurs, such as a settlement) and modifies the assumptions based on current rates and trends when it is appropriate to do so. The effects of modifications are recognized immediately on the audited Consolidated Balance Sheets, but are amortized into operating earnings over future periods, with the deferred amount recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company used the Society of Actuaries Pri-2012 base rate mortality table and MP-2021 mortality improvement projection scale in the calculation of the Company’s U.S. pension plan obligations.

The pension plan obligations are calculated using generally accepted actuarial methods and are measured as of December 31. Actuarial gains and losses for frozen plans are amortized using the corridor method over the average remaining expected life of plan participants.

The Company made cash contributions of $1.8 million and $0.1 million to its pension and other postretirement benefits plans, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2024. Excluding the cash contribution to fully fund the Plan, the Company expects to make cash contributions of approximately $2.1 million and $0.1 million to its pension and other postretirement benefits plans, respectively, during the year ending December 31, 2025.

Total pension income was $1.1 million, $0.5 million and $0.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which is included in investment and other income, net on the audited Consolidated Statements of Operations.

(a)
As the Company’s Plan is frozen and participants do not earn additional service benefits, the projected benefit obligation and accumulated benefit obligation are the same.

The decrease in benefit obligation during the year ended December 31, 2024 was primarily due to benefits payments and favorable changes in discount rates, partially offset by interest cost and plan termination assumptions.

The accumulated benefit obligation for all defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefits plans was $226.8 million and $236.1 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The underfunded pension and other postretirement plans liabilities are presented on the Company’s audited Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows:

Plan Assets

The Company has a risk management approach for its pension plan assets. The overall investment objective of this approach is to reduce the risk of significant decreases in the plan’s funded status by allocating a larger portion of the plan’s assets to investments expected to hedge the impact of interest rate risks on the plan’s obligation. The expected long-term rate of return for plan assets is based upon many factors including asset allocations, historical asset returns, current and expected future market conditions, risk and active management premiums. In alignment with the Company’s intent to settle the Plan, the target asset allocation as of December 31, 2024 is 100% fixed income investments to reduce the risk of significant decreases in the funded status. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets assumption used to calculate net pension plan income for the year ending December 31, 2025 is 5.3% and reflects the effective discount rate required to settle the Plan’s benefit obligations.

The fair values of the Company’s pension plan assets at December 31, 2024 and 2023, by asset category, were as follows:

The Company segregated its plan assets by the following major categories and levels for determining their fair value as of December 31, 2024 and 2023:

Cash and cash equivalents—Carrying value approximates fair value. As such, these assets were classified as Level 1. The Company also invests in certain short-term investments which are valued using the amortized cost method. As such, these assets were classified as Level 2.

Fixed income—Fixed income securities are primarily in a diversified portfolio of long duration governmental instruments. They are primarily valued using a market approach, using matrix pricing and considering a security’s relationship to other securities for which quoted prices in an active market may be available. Inputs used in developing fair value estimates include reported trades, broker quotes, benchmarks, and spreads. As the value of these assets was determined based on observable inputs obtained by third parties, the Company classified these assets as Level 2.

Assets measured at NAV—The Company invests in certain funds that are valued at calculated net asset value per share (“NAV”), but are not quoted on active markets such as certain equity common funds, fixed income funds, hedge funds and corporate bond funds. The Company believes that the NAV is representative of fair value at the reporting date, as there are no significant restrictions on redemption of these investments or other reasons to indicate that the investment would be redeemed at an amount different than the NAV.

For Level 2 plan assets, management reviews significant investments on a quarterly basis including investigation of unusual fluctuations in price or returns and obtaining an understanding of the pricing methodology to assess the reliability of third-party pricing estimates. The valuation methodologies described above may generate a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or future fair values. While the Company believes the methodologies used are appropriate, the use of different methodologies or assumptions in calculating fair value could result in different amounts.

Employer 401(k) Savings Plan

For the benefit of most of its U.S. employees, the Company maintains a defined contribution retirement savings plan (“401(k)”) that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under this plan, employees may contribute a percentage of eligible compensation on both a before-tax and after-tax basis and the Company provides a matching contribution of $0.50 for every dollar an employee contributes up to 6% of eligible compensation. The Company can also contribute a discretionary match, based on the Company’s performance. Expense for the Company’s 401(k) matching contributions was $4.8 million, $5.0 million and $5.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Multiemployer Pension Plans

On October 1, 2016, DFIN became an independent publicly traded company through the distribution by R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company (“RRD”) of shares of DFIN common stock to RRD stockholders (the “Separation”). In 2020, LSC Communications, Inc. (“LSC”), which separated from RRD at the same time as DFIN, filed for business reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and stopped making required withdrawal liability payments to multiemployer pension plans (“MEPP”) from which RRD had withdrawn prior to the Separation. Responsibility for certain pre-Separation withdrawal liability obligations was assigned to the parties, including LSC (the “LSC MEPP Liabilities”), however, the Company and RRD remained jointly and severally liable for the LSC MEPP Liabilities pursuant to laws and regulations governing multiemployer pension plans.

The Company’s MEPP liabilities as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 totaled $9.0 million and $10.1 million, respectively, including the Company’s share of LSC MEPP Liabilities.

There can be no assurance that the Company’s actual future liabilities relating to the MEPP liabilities (including MEPP liabilities where the Company and RRD remain jointly and severally liable) will not differ materially from the amount recorded on the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements. If RRD fails to make required payments in respect of the remaining LSC MEPP Liabilities, or RRD fails to make required payments in respect of RRD’s MEPP liabilities, the Company may become obligated to make such payments. In addition, the Company’s MEPP liabilities could be affected by the financial stability of other employers participating in such plans and decisions by those employers to withdraw from such plans in the future.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had noncancelable contractual commitments of approximately $67 million for outsourced services and other miscellaneous obligations, primarily relating to information technology, professional, maintenance and other services.

Litigation

From time to time, the Company’s customers and other counterparties 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 or other dispute resolution proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that the final resolution of these preference items and litigation or other proceedings will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

The effective income tax rate was 26.1% for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to 19.4% for the year ended December 31, 2023. The 2024 effective tax rate was impacted by income tax credits, partially offset by non-deductible expenses.

The effective income tax rate was 19.4% for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to 26.4% for the year ended December 31, 2022. The 2023 effective tax rate was impacted by the tax benefit from the loss on the disposition of the eBrevia business, income tax credits, favorable return to provision adjustments and lower pre-tax earnings.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had domestic and foreign net operating loss and other tax carryforward deferred tax assets of approximately $6.8 million, of which $3.8 million expires between 2025 and 2044. Limitations on the utilization of these deferred tax assets may apply. The Company has provided valuation allowances to reduce the carrying value of certain deferred tax assets as management has concluded that, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be fully realized.

Earnings generated by a foreign subsidiary are presumed to ultimately be transferred to the parent company. Therefore, the establishment of deferred taxes may be required with respect to the excess of the investment value for financial reporting over the tax basis of investments in those foreign subsidiaries (also referred to as book-over-tax outside basis differences). A company may overcome this presumption and forgo recording a deferred tax liability in its financial statements if it can assert that management has the intent and ability to indefinitely reinvest the earnings of its foreign subsidiaries. As a result of the transition tax incurred pursuant to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (H.R. 1) (the “Tax Act”), the Company has the ability to repatriate any previously taxed foreign cash associated with the foreign earnings subjected to U.S. tax to the U.S. parent with minimal additional tax consequences. Due to the changes under the Tax Act, the Company updated its assertion in 2018 related to indefinite reinvestment on all foreign earnings and other outside basis differences to indicate that the Company remains indefinitely reinvested in operations outside of the U.S. with the exception of the previously taxed foreign earnings already subject to U.S. tax. The Company repatriated $30.0 million of previously taxed earnings during 2024. The Company did not make any repatriations in 2023 and 2022.

As of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $4.1 million, $3.1 million and $2.5 million, respectively. Unrecognized tax benefits of $4.1 million as of December 31, 2024, if recognized, would have decreased income taxes and the corresponding effective income tax rate and increased net earnings. This potential impact on net earnings reflects the reduction of these unrecognized tax benefits, net of certain deferred tax assets and the federal tax benefit of state income tax items.

As of December 31, 2024, it is reasonably possible that a portion of the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits is expected to decrease within twelve months due to the resolution of audits or expirations of statutes of limitations related to U.S. federal, state or international tax positions, but the amount is immaterial.

The Company classifies interest expense and any penalties related to income tax uncertainties as a component of income tax expense. The total interest expense, net of tax benefits, related to tax uncertainties recognized on the audited Consolidated Statements of Operations was $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 and de minimis for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company accrued $0.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of interest expense related to income tax uncertainties.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company has tax years from 2016 and thereafter that remain open and subject to examination by certain U.S. state taxing authorities and/or certain foreign tax jurisdictions. There are no U.S. federal income tax years prior to the period ending December 31, 2021 subject to IRS examination. All U.S. federal income tax years including and subsequent to the period ending December 31, 2021 remain open and subject to IRS examination.

Credit Agreement—On May 27, 2021 (the “Restatement Effective Date”), the Company amended and restated its credit agreement dated as of September 30, 2016 (as in effect prior to such amendment and restatement, the “Credit Agreement,” and the Credit Agreement, as so amended and restated, the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, the lenders party thereto from time to time and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, to, among other things, provide for a $200.0 million delayed-draw term loan A facility (the “Term Loan A Facility”) (bearing interest at a rate equal to the sum of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin ranging from 2.00% to 2.50% based upon the Company’s Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio), extend the maturity of the $300.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) to May 27, 2026 and modify the financial maintenance and negative covenants in the Credit Agreement.

On May 11, 2023, the Company entered into the first amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to change the reference rate from LIBOR, which ceased being published on June 30, 2023, to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) for both the Term Loan A Facility and the Revolving Facility. The SOFR interest rate was effective for the Revolving Facility and the Term Loan A on May 30, 2023 and June 12, 2023, respectively. No other significant terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement were amended. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants, including a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio and the Consolidated Net 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. The Credit Agreement generally allows annual dividend payments of up to $20.0 million in the aggregate.

Term Loan A Facility—On October 14, 2021, the Company drew $200.0 million from the Term Loan A Facility and used the proceeds to redeem the Company’s 8.25% Senior Notes due 2024 on October 15, 2021. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company prepaid $75.0 million of the $200.0 million principal amount of the Term Loan A Facility.

Prior to the prepayment, the principal amount of loans under the Term Loan A Facility were due and payable in equal quarterly installments of 1.25% of the original principal amount of the loans during the first three years after the Restatement Effective Date, commencing on March 31, 2022, and 2.50% of the original principal amount of the loans thereafter. As a result of the prepayment, quarterly installments of the original principal amount are no longer required and the entire unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan A Facility is due and payable in full on May 27, 2026. Voluntary prepayments of the Term Loan A Facility are permitted at any time without premium or penalty. The fair value of the Term Loan A Facility was $125.0 million and $124.1 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and was determined to be Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy. The weighted-average interest rate on borrowings under the Term Loan A Facility was 7.4% and 7.0% for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Revolving Facility— As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Facility. The weighted-average interest rate on borrowings under the Revolving Facility was 7.8% and 7.3% for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $1.6 million in outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees, of which $1.0 million of the outstanding letters of credit reduced the availability under the Revolving Facility. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $2.5 million in outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees, of which $1.0 million of the outstanding letters of credit reduced the availability under the Revolving Facility.

Earnings per Share

Note 11. Earnings per Share

Net earnings per basic share is calculated by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Net earnings per diluted share is computed using the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive shares outstanding during the period, including stock options, RSUs, PSUs and restricted stock, using the treasury stock method.

The reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the net earnings per basic and diluted share calculations for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 were as follows:

Share-based Compensation

Share-Based Payment Arrangement, Noncash Expense [Abstract]  
Share-based Compensation

Note 12. Share-based Compensation

The Company’s share-based compensation plan under which it may grant future awards, the Donnelley Financial Solutions, Inc. Amended and Restated 2016 Performance Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2016 PIP”), was approved by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) and the Company’s stockholders and provides incentives to key employees of the Company. Awards under the 2016 PIP may include cash or stock bonuses, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, PSUs, performance cash awards or RSUs. In addition, non-employee members of the Board may receive awards under the 2016 PIP. Increases to the shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2016 PIP requires stockholder approval. On May 13, 2021, the Company’s stockholders voted and approved 3.4 million of additional shares of common stock for issuance under the 2016 PIP. At December 31, 2024, there were 2.4 million remaining shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under the 2016 PIP.

For share-based awards granted to employees and directors, including RSUs and PSUs, the Company recognizes compensation expense based on estimated grant date fair values as well as certain assumptions as of the grant date, if applicable. The Company estimates the number of awards expected to vest based, in part, on historical forfeiture rates and also based on management’s expectations of employee turnover within the specific employee groups receiving each type of award. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods, if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company recognizes compensation costs for RSUs expected to vest, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term of three years. The Company recognizes compensation costs for PSUs, which cliff vest, on a straight-line basis over the performance period of the award.

Share-based awards are subject to forfeiture upon termination of employment prior to vesting, subject in some cases to early vesting upon specified events, including death or permanent disability of the grantee or a change in control of the Company. In addition, upon a change in control of the Company, PSUs will be measured at 100% attainment of the target performance metrics and will remain subject to time based vesting until the end of the vesting period; provided that the award will vest in full if, within three months prior to or two years after the date of the change in control of the Company, the grantee’s employment is terminated without cause by the Company or for good reason by the grantee.

Total share-based compensation expense was $25.2 million, $22.5 million and $19.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The income tax benefit related to share-based compensation expense was $10.4 million, $9.2 million and $7.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, $31.3 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to share-based compensation awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years.

Stock Options

The Company did not grant stock options during the three years ended December 31, 2024. The weighted-average fair value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 was $5.92, $4.94 and $3.03, respectively.

As of December 31, 2024, $16.2 million of unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to RSUs is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.

Performance Share Units

The fair value of PSUs granted prior to 2024 was based on the Company's stock price on the grant date. The PSUs granted in 2024 (the “2024 PSUs”) include a market condition related to the performance of the Company's stock price relative to a peer group, or relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) modifier, which can affect the number of shares ultimately issued to grantees at the end of the three-year performance period. The grant date fair value of the 2024 PSUs was determined based on a Monte Carlo valuation model. The total potential payout for the 2024 PSUs is payable upon the achievement of certain established performance targets and can also be impacted by the TSR modifier, resulting in a range from zero to 564 thousand shares.

The weighted-average grant date fair value of PSUs granted during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 was $57.17, $30.13 and $26.96, respectively.

PSUs outstanding as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and changes during the year ended December 31, 2024, were as follows:

Information by Segment

During the three months ended December 31, 2024, the Company changed the measure used by the CODM to evaluate segment profitability from income (loss) from operations to Adjusted EBITDA in order to be consistent with changes in reporting reviewed by the CODM to evaluate the results of operations, allocate resources and make strategic decisions about the business. Prior periods presented below have been revised to reflect this change.

The Company’s CODM is the Chief Executive Officer. The CODM regularly reviews segment net sales and segment Adjusted EBITDA to assess segment performance and to decide how to allocate resources. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is reviewed to monitor budget versus actual results, analyze historical trends in assessing performance and identify actions required to improve profitability. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest expense, net, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization and adjusted to exclude the impact of certain costs, expenses, gains, losses and other items, as reflected in the Reconciliation of total segment Adjusted EBITDA sections below, which management believes are not indicative of ongoing operations and segment performance.

As the CODM does not review segment assets to evaluate segment performance, segment assets are not disclosed.

The following tables include selected financial data for the Company’s reportable segments for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022:

Overview, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)
 12 Months Ended
Dec. 31, 2024
Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DFIN and all majority-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates Use of Estimates—The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the extensive use of management’s estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for items and matters including, but not limited to, allowance for expected losses on accounts receivable, pension, goodwill and other intangible assets, asset valuations and useful lives, income taxes and other provisions and contingencies.
Foreign Operations

Foreign Operations—Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates existing at the respective balance sheet dates. Income and expense items are translated at the average rates during the respective periods. Translation adjustments resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates are recorded as a separate component of other comprehensive (loss) income while transaction gains and losses are recorded in net earnings. Deferred taxes are not provided on cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments when the Company expects foreign earnings to be indefinitely reinvested.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements—Certain assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The Company records the fair value of its pension plan assets on a recurring basis. See Note 7, Retirement Plans, for the fair value of the Company’s pension plan assets as of December 31, 2024.

In addition to assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company is required to record certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, generally as a result of acquisitions or the remeasurement of assets resulting in impairment charges. Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include long-lived assets held and used and goodwill. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their carrying values. The three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes valuation methodologies based on the reliability of the inputs, is as follows:

Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.

Level 2—Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3—Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition—The Company manages highly-customized data and materials to enable filings with the SEC on behalf of its customers related to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), as well as performs tagging of documents using Inline eXtensible Business Reporting Language (“iXBRL”) and other services. Clients are provided with SEC Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (“EDGAR”) filing services, iXBRL compliance services and translation, editing, interpreting, proof-reading and multilingual typesetting services, among other services. The Company provides software solutions to public and private companies, mutual funds and other regulated investment firms to serve their regulatory and compliance needs, including ActiveDisclosure®, the Arc Suite® software platform (“Arc Suite”) and Venue® Virtual Data Room (“Venue”), and provides digital document creation, online content management and print and distribution solutions.

The Company separately reports its net sales and related cost of sales for its software solutions, tech-enabled services and print and distribution offerings. The Company’s software solutions offerings include ActiveDisclosure, Arc Suite and Venue. The Company’s tech-enabled services offerings consist of document composition, compliance-related EDGAR filing services and transactional solutions. The Company’s print and distribution offerings primarily consist of conventional and digital printed products and related shipping. Refer to Note 2, Revenue, for a discussion of the Company’s revenue recognition.

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised services or products to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those services or products. The Company’s services include software solutions and tech-enabled services whereas the Company’s products are comprised of print and distribution offerings. The Company’s arrangements with customers often include promises to transfer multiple services or products to a customer. Determining whether services and products are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately requires significant judgment. Certain customer arrangements have multiple performance obligations as certain promises are both capable of being distinct and are distinct within the context of the contract. Other customer arrangements have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts, and therefore is not distinct.

Over time

The Company recognizes revenue for certain services over time.

•
The Company’s software solutions, including ActiveDisclosure, Arc Suite and Venue, are generally provided on a subscription basis and allow customers access to use software over the contract period. As a result, software solutions revenue is predominantly recognized over time as the customer receives the benefit throughout the contract period. The timing of invoicing varies, however, the customer may be invoiced before the end of the contract period, resulting in a deferred revenue balance.

Point in time

Certain revenue arrangements, primarily for tech-enabled services and print and distribution offerings, are recognized at a point in time and are primarily invoiced upon completion of all services or upon shipment.

•
Certain arrangements include multiple performance obligations and revenue is recognized upon completion of each performance obligation, such as when a document is filed with a regulatory agency and upon completion of printing the related document. For arrangements with multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations. When the Company provides customer specific solutions, observable standalone selling price is rarely available. As such, standalone selling price is determined using an estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct service or product, taking into consideration historical selling price by customer for each distinct service or product, if available. These estimates may vary from the final amounts invoiced to the customer and are adjusted upon completion of all performance obligations. Customers may be invoiced subsequent to the recognition of revenue for completed performance obligations, resulting in contract asset balances.
•
Revenue for arrangements without a regulatory filing generally have a single performance obligation. As the services and products provided are not distinct within the context of the contract, the revenue is recognized upon completion of the services performed or upon completion of printing of the related product.

Because substantially all of the Company’s products are customized, product returns are not significant.

The Company records deferred revenue when amounts are invoiced but the revenue recognition criteria are not yet met. Revenue is recognized when all criteria are subsequently met.

Certain revenues earned by the Company require significant judgment to determine if revenue should be recorded gross, as a principal, or net of related costs, as an agent. Billings for shipping and handling costs as well as certain postage costs, and out-of-pocket expenses are recorded gross. Revenue is not recognized for customer-supplied postage. Paper may be supplied directly by customers or may be purchased by the Company from third parties and sold to customers. Revenue is not recognized for customer-supplied paper; however, revenues for Company-supplied paper are recognized on a gross basis. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to authorities.

Incremental costs to obtain the contract, primarily commissions, are expensed as incurred when the amortization period of the asset is one year or less. Sales commissions for the initial year of a multi-year contract are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the contract. Sales commissions beyond the initial year are subject to an employee service requirement and are not capitalized as they are not considered incremental costs to obtain a contract.

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers and these timing differences result in contract assets, unbilled receivables or contract liabilities. Contract assets represent revenue recognized for performance obligations completed before an unconditional right to payment exists and therefore invoicing has not yet occurred. The Company generally estimates contract assets based on the historical selling price adjusted for its current experience and expected resolution of the variable consideration of the completed performance obligation. When the Company’s contracts contain variable consideration, the variable consideration is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur in a future period. As a result, the estimated revenue and contract assets may be constrained until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved, which generally occurs in less than one year. Determining whether there will be a significant revenue reversal in the future and the determination of the amount of the constraint requires significant judgment.

Unbilled receivables are recorded when there is an unconditional right to payment and invoicing has not yet occurred. The Company estimates the value of unbilled receivables based on a combination of historical customer selling price and management’s assessment of realizable selling price.
Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents—The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Short-term securities consist of investment grade instruments of governments, financial institutions and corporations.
Receivables

Receivables—Receivables are stated net of expected losses and primarily include trade receivables as well as miscellaneous receivables from suppliers. The Company’s credit loss reserves primarily relate to trade receivables, unbilled receivables and contract assets. The Company established the provision at differing rates, which are region or country-specific, and are based upon the age of the trade receivable, the Company’s historical collection experience in each region or country and lines of business, where appropriate. Provisions for unbilled receivables and contract assets are established based on rates which management believes to be appropriate considering its historical experience. Specific customer provisions are made when a review of significant outstanding amounts, utilizing information about customer creditworthiness and current economic trends, indicates that collection is doubtful. Provisions for accounts receivable, unbilled receivables and contract assets are included in receivables, less allowances for expected losses on the audited Consolidated Balance Sheets. No single customer comprised more than 10% of net sales for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

Assets Held for Sale

Assets Held for Sale—As of December 31, 2023, the Company had land held for sale with a carrying value of $2.6 million. On March 29, 2024, the Company sold the land for net proceeds of $13.2 million, of which $12.4 million was received in the first quarter of 2024 and $0.8 million of non-refundable fees were received in 2023. The Company recognized a net pre-tax gain of $10.6 million related to the sale, of which $9.8 million was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2024 and $0.8 million was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2023. The net pre-tax gain was recorded in other operating income, net on the audited Consolidated Statements of Operations within the Capital Markets - Compliance and Communications Management operating segment.
Property, Plant and Equipment, net

Property, Plant and Equipment, net—Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Useful lives range from 5 to 40 years for buildings, the lesser of 7 years or the lease term for leasehold improvements and from 3 to 13 years for machinery and equipment. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred. Major overhauls that extend the useful lives of existing assets are capitalized. When property, plant or equipment is retired or disposed, the costs and accumulated depreciation are eliminated and the resulting profit or loss is recognized in the results of operations.

The components of the Company’s property, plant and equipment, net at December 31, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

Software, net

Software, net—The Company incurs costs to develop its software-as-a-service applications as well as for internal-use. These costs include both direct costs from third-party vendors and eligible salaries and payroll-related costs of employees. The Company capitalizes software developments costs when management with the relevant authority authorizes and commits to the funding of the software project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the functions intended. Costs associated with upgrades and enhancements are capitalized only if such modifications result in additional functionality of the software, whereas costs incurred for preliminary project stage activities, training, project management and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Capitalized software development costs are amortized over their estimated useful life using the straight-line method, up to a maximum of three years. Amortization expense related to internally-developed software, excluding amortization expense related to other intangible assets, was $53.8 million, $45.5 million and $38.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Leases

Leases—The Company has operating leases for certain service centers, office space and equipment. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used in determining the present value of future payments at the commencement date of the lease. Balances related to operating leases are included in operating lease ROU assets, operating lease liabilities and noncurrent operating lease liabilities on the audited Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company’s finance leases are substantially all related to information technology equipment. For finance leases, interest expense on the lease liability is recognized based on the incremental borrowing rate and the ROU assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of the ROU assets. Balances related to finance leases are included in property, plant and equipment, net, accrued liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities on the audited Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company must consider whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset. Certain arrangements require significant judgment to determine if an asset is specified in the contract and if the Company directs how and for what purpose the asset is used during the term of the contract.

All real estate leases are recorded on the audited Consolidated Balance Sheets. Equipment and other non-real estate leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the audited Consolidated Balance Sheets. Lease agreements for some locations provide for rent escalations and renewal options. Lease terms include the option to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Certain real estate leases require payment for taxes, insurance and maintenance which are considered non-lease components. The Company accounts for real estate leases and the related fixed non-lease components together as a single component.

Investments

Investments—The carrying value of the Company’s investments in equity securities was $5.8 million and $5.5 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company measures its equity securities that do not have a readily determinable fair value at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. The Company performs an assessment on a quarterly basis to assess whether triggering events for impairment exist and to identify any observable price changes.

In the first quarter of 2023, the Company sold an investment in an equity security. As a result of the sale, for the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company received proceeds of $11.9 million, including $9.0 million of cash and common stock of the acquirer. In the second quarter of 2023, the Company sold another investment in an equity security and received proceeds of $1.0 million in cash during the year ended December 31, 2023. The sales resulted in a net realized gain of $7.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, which is included in investment and other income, net on the audited Consolidated Statements of Operations within Corporate.
Goodwill

Goodwill—Goodwill is either assigned to a specific reporting unit or, in certain circumstances, allocated between reporting units based on the relative fair value of each reporting unit.

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually as of October 31 or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is below its carrying amount. The Company also performs an interim review for indicators of impairment at each quarter-end to assess whether an interim impairment review is required for any reporting unit.

For the annual goodwill impairment review, the Company has the option to perform a qualitative test or a quantitative test. When a qualitative assessment is performed, the Company considers various qualitative factors, including economic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance of the reporting unit and other entity and reporting unit specific events. Based on this qualitative analysis, if management determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying value, no further impairment testing is performed.

For reporting units where a quantitative method is used, the Company compares each reporting unit’s fair value, estimated based on comparable company market valuations and expected future discounted cash flows to be generated by the reporting unit, to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit is less than the fair value, no impairment exists. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds the estimated fair value, an impairment loss is recognized, generally in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

As of October 31, 2024, each of the reporting units with goodwill was reviewed for impairment using a qualitative assessment and the Company concluded that it was not more likely than not that the fair values of the reporting units were less than their carrying values and therefore there was no impairment. The Company’s assessment of goodwill impairment for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 also resulted in no impairment.
Share-Based Compensation

Share-Based Compensation—The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense based on estimated fair values for all share-based awards made to employees and directors, including restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance share units (“PSUs”). Share-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line or graded basis, depending on the type of an award. Certain of the Company’s awards vest on an annual basis whereas others cliff vest. See Note 12, Share-based Compensation, for further discussion.

The Company’s share-based compensation plan under which it may grant future awards, the Donnelley Financial Solutions, Inc. Amended and Restated 2016 Performance Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2016 PIP”), was approved by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) and the Company’s stockholders and provides incentives to key employees of the Company. Awards under the 2016 PIP may include cash or stock bonuses, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, PSUs, performance cash awards or RSUs. In addition, non-employee members of the Board may receive awards under the 2016 PIP. Increases to the shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2016 PIP requires stockholder approval. On May 13, 2021, the Company’s stockholders voted and approved 3.4 million of additional shares of common stock for issuance under the 2016 PIP. At December 31, 2024, there were 2.4 million remaining shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under the 2016 PIP.

For share-based awards granted to employees and directors, including RSUs and PSUs, the Company recognizes compensation expense based on estimated grant date fair values as well as certain assumptions as of the grant date, if applicable. The Company estimates the number of awards expected to vest based, in part, on historical forfeiture rates and also based on management’s expectations of employee turnover within the specific employee groups receiving each type of award. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods, if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company recognizes compensation costs for RSUs expected to vest, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term of three years. The Company recognizes compensation costs for PSUs, which cliff vest, on a straight-line basis over the performance period of the award.

Share-based awards are subject to forfeiture upon termination of employment prior to vesting, subject in some cases to early vesting upon specified events, including death or permanent disability of the grantee or a change in control of the Company. In addition, upon a change in control of the Company, PSUs will be measured at 100% attainment of the target performance metrics and will remain subject to time based vesting until the end of the vesting period; provided that the award will vest in full if, within three months prior to or two years after the date of the change in control of the Company, the grantee’s employment is terminated without cause by the Company or for good reason by the grantee.
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits Plans—DFIN engages outside actuaries to assist in the determination of the obligations and costs under these plans, which were frozen to new participants effective December 31, 2011. The annual income and expense amounts relating to the pension and other postretirement benefits plans are based on calculations which include various actuarial assumptions including mortality expectations, discount rates and expected long-term rates of return. The Company reviews its actuarial assumptions on an annual basis and makes modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends when it is deemed appropriate to do so. The effects of modifications on the value of plan obligations and assets are recognized immediately within other comprehensive (loss) income and amortized into earnings over future periods. The Company believes that the assumptions utilized in recording its obligations under its plans are reasonable based on its experience, market conditions and input from its actuaries and investment advisors, see Note 7, Retirement Plans.
Income Taxes

Income Taxes—Deferred taxes are provided using an asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. The Company includes deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities on the audited Consolidated Balance Sheets as either a net deferred tax asset or liability on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis. The Company maintains an income taxes payable or receivable account in each jurisdiction. The Company classifies interest expense and any related penalties related to income tax uncertainties as a component of income tax expense.

The Company is regularly audited by foreign and domestic tax authorities. These audits occasionally result in proposed assessments where the ultimate resolution might result in the Company owing additional taxes, including in some cases, penalties and interest. The Company recognizes a tax position in its financial statements when it is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. This recognized tax position is then measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Although management believes that its estimates are reasonable, the final outcome of uncertain tax positions may be materially different from that which is reflected in the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company adjusts such reserves upon changes in circumstances that would cause a change to the estimate of the ultimate liability, upon effective settlement or upon the expiration of the statute of limitations, in the period in which such event occurs. See Note 9, Income Taxes, for further discussion.
Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies—The Company is subject to lawsuits, investigations and other claims and can be involved in various legal, regulatory and arbitration proceedings concerning matters arising in the ordinary course of business, see Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies. The Company routinely reviews the status of each significant matter and assesses the potential financial exposure. A liability is recorded when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When there is a range of possible losses with equal likelihood, a liability is recorded based on the low end of such range. Because of uncertainties related to these and other matters, accruals are based on the best information available at the time. The amount of such reserves may change in the future due to new developments or changes in approach, such as a change in settlement strategy. The inherent uncertainty related to the outcome of these matters can result in amounts materially different from the amounts accrued in the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements.
Restructuring

Restructuring—The Company records restructuring charges associated with management-approved restructuring plans, which could include the elimination of job functions, closure or relocation of facilities, reorganization of operations, changes in management structure, workforce reductions or other actions. Restructuring charges may include ongoing and enhanced termination benefits related to employee separations, contract termination costs and other related costs associated with exit or disposal activities. Restructuring charges for employee terminations include management’s estimate as to the timing and amount of severance and actual results could differ from estimates. Severance benefits are provided to employees primarily under the Company’s ongoing benefit arrangements. These severance costs are accrued once management commits to a plan of termination and it becomes probable that employees will be separated and entitled to benefits at amounts that can be reasonably estimated. In some instances, the Company enhances its ongoing termination benefits with one-time termination benefits and employee severance costs to be incurred in relation to these restructuring activities are recognized when employees are notified of their enhanced termination benefits. See Note 6, Restructuring, Impairment and Other Charges, net, for further discussion.
