(1)   Non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures that exclude the impact of items noted in the reconciliation in the attached schedules. See the attached schedules for amounts and reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures.

“Against our most challenging comparable of the year, our second-quarter results were in line with our expectations, and as such, we reaffirm our previous full-year guidance,” said Daniel N. Leib, Donnelley Financial’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “As we head into the second half of the year, we are pleased with our year-to-date performance and are optimistic about the outlook for the remainder of the year. We continue to maintain our strong market position and grow our software product offerings across the platform. Since the spin-off from RR Donnelley, we have reduced our total debt by $111 million and are on track to end the year within our targeted leverage range of 2.25x to 2.75x, while also continuing to invest for growth.”

Net Sales

Net sales in the second quarter of 2017 were $290.2 million, a decrease of $7.8 million, or 2.6%, from the second quarter of 2016. After adjusting for changes in foreign exchange rates, organic sales decreased 1.8% from the second quarter of 2016 driven primarily by lower capital markets transactions volume partially offset by higher mutual funds volume and growth in our software product offerings.

GAAP Earnings

Second-quarter 2017 net earnings were $18.8 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, compared to net earnings of $36.3 million, or $1.12 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2016. Second-quarter 2016 net earnings do not include interest expense associated with the debt raised in connection with the spin-off from RR Donnelley. The second-quarter net earnings included after-tax charges of $6.1 million and $1.2 million in 2017 and 2016, respectively, all of which are excluded from the presentation of non-GAAP net earnings. Additional details regarding the amount and nature of these and other items are included in the attached schedules.

Non-GAAP Earnings

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2017 was $63.9 million, compared to $71.8 million in the second quarter of 2016. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin in the second quarter of 2017 was 22.0%, 210 basis points lower than in the second quarter of 2016. The decrease in non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margin was primarily due to lower capital markets transactions volume and higher costs driven by the separation from RR Donnelley, partially offset by cost reduction actions and higher mutual funds volume.

Non-GAAP net earnings totaled $24.9 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2017 compared to $37.5 million, or $1.16 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2016. Second-quarter 2016 non-GAAP net earnings do not include interest expense associated with the debt raised in connection with the spin-off from RR Donnelley. Reconciliations of net earnings to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net earnings are presented in the attached schedules.

Dis-synergies and Allocation of Costs in Historical Carve-out Accounting

As previously communicated, the Company expects to recognize approximately $13.3 million of incremental costs in 2017 compared to 2016, related to dis-synergies and ongoing costs in excess of historical allocations. Of the $13.3 million, approximately $5.0 million was recognized in the first quarter and $3.0 million in the second quarter, with the remaining $5.3 million expected to be recognized in the third quarter of 2017.

2017 Guidance

The Company reaffirms its full-year guidance for 2017 for revenue, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow and also provides additional guidance detail for full-year 2017:

    Current Guidance
Net sales   Approximately $1 billion, representing organic growth in the range of 3% to 5%
Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA   $175 to $180 million
Depreciation and amortization   $40 to $45 million
Interest expense   Approximately $43 million
Non-GAAP effective tax rate   40% to 42%
Diluted share count   Approximately 33 million
Capital expenditures   $30 to $35 million
Free cash flow(1)   $50 to $60 million

(1) Defined as operating cash flow less capital expenditures

Certain components of the guidance given above are provided on a non-GAAP basis only, without providing a reconciliation to guidance provided on a GAAP basis. Information is presented in this manner, consistent with SEC rules, because the preparation of such a reconciliation could not be accomplished without “unreasonable efforts.” The Company does not have access to certain information that would be necessary to provide such a reconciliation, including non-recurring items that are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operations. Such items include, but are not limited to, restructuring charges, impairment charges, spinoff-related transaction expenses, pension settlement charges, acquisition-related expenses, gains or losses on investments and business disposals, losses on debt extinguishment and other similar gains or losses not reflective of the Company's ongoing operations. The Company does not believe that this information is likely to be significant to an assessment of the Company’s ongoing operations, given that it is not an indicator of business performance.

Use of non-GAAP Information

Non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures as defined under the rules of the SEC. As calculated in the attached schedules, non-GAAP net earnings is defined as GAAP net earnings (loss) adjusted for restructurings and impairments, acquisition-related expenses, share-based compensation expense, spin-off related transaction expenses and certain other charges or credits; non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is defined as GAAP net earnings (loss) adjusted for income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, restructurings and impairments, acquisition-related expenses, share-based compensation expense, spin-off related transaction expenses and certain other charges or credits; free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures.

The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, are useful because that information is an appropriate measure for evaluating the Company’s operating performance. Internally, the Company uses this non-GAAP information as an indicator of business performance, and evaluates management’s effectiveness with specific reference to these indicators. These measures should be considered in addition to, not a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Use of Forward-Looking Statements

This news release includes certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of, and subject to the safe harbor created by, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with respect to the business, strategy and plans of Donnelley Financial and its expectations relating to future financial condition and performance. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about Donnelley Financial management’s beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Words such as "believes," "anticipates," "estimates," "expects," "intends," "aims," "potential," "will," "would," "could," "considered," "likely," "estimate" and variations of these words and similar future or conditional expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. While Donnelley Financial believes these expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond Donnelley Financial’s control. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend upon future circumstances that may or may not occur. Actual results may differ materially from Donnelley Financial’s current expectations depending upon a number of factors affecting the business and risks associated with the performance of the business. These factors include such risks and uncertainties detailed in Donnelley Financial’s periodic public filings with the SEC, including but not limited to those discussed under "Risk Factors" in Donnelley Financial's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, those discussed under “Cautionary Statement” in Donnelley Financial’s quarterly Form 10-Q filings, and in other investor communications of Donnelley Financial’s from time to time. Donnelley Financial does not undertake to and specifically declines any obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect future events or circumstances after the date of such statement or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

(1)   On September 30, 2016, the Company entered into a $300.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”). The Revolving Facility is subject to a number of covenants, including a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio and a maximum Leverage Ratio, both as defined and calculated in the Credit Agreement. There were $6.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility as of June 30, 2017. Based on the Company’s results of operations for the twelve months ended June 30, 2017 and existing debt, the Company would have had the ability to utilize $214.3 million of the $300.0 million Revolving Facility and not have been in violation of the terms of the agreement.
 
(2) Approximately 73% and 46% of cash as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, was located outside of the U.S. Certain cash balances of foreign subsidiaries may be subject to U.S. or local country taxes if repatriated to the U.S. In addition, repatriation of some foreign cash balances is further restricted by local laws.
