"We are pleased with the strong performance in the quarter, in light of the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic and related market volatility. Our long-standing prioritization of employee health and safety allowed us to operate safely while providing exceptional service to our clients through the peak filing and proxy season. Our employees responded swiftly, innovatively transforming our production platform and service delivery model to adapt to our clients' need for a fully-virtual experience," said Daniel N. Leib, DFIN's president and chief executive officer.

Leib continued, "After a very slow start to the quarter, activity levels improved significantly in June, with transactional revenues, including Venue, picking up sharply. The influx of higher-margintech-enabled services & software solutions revenues, combined with the continued impact of our ongoing cost control efforts, led to a 220 basis point year-over-year improvement in our second-quarter adjusted EBITDA margin, marking the fourth consecutive quarter of year-over-year margin expansion. Strong margin and improved working capital management allowed us to further strengthen our balance sheet, resulting in second-quarter ending non-GAAP net leverage of 2.1x, down 1.0x from the second quarter of 2019. While the macroeconomic outlook remains unclear, the combination of our market position, cost structure and strong balance sheet positions us well heading into the back half of the year and into 2021."

"We also continued to make significant progress in the development of our software solutions, enhancing capabilities, improving performance and introducing new products. These product introductions, plus several key second-quarter wins across our software portfolio, showcase DFIN's market leadership, and are expected to lead to continued growth in our software solutions businesses going forward," Leib concluded.

Net Sales

Net sales in the second quarter of 2020 were $254.0 million, a decrease of $4.9 million, or 1.9%, from the second quarter of 2019. After adjusting for changes in foreign exchange rates, organic net sales decreased 1.7% from the second quarter of 2019. Net sales decreased primarily due to a decline in print as a result of lower capital markets transactions and compliance and commercial print volumes, partially offset by higher tech-enabled services for capital markets transactions and higher mutual fund transactional volume.

GAAP Net Earnings

Second-quarter 2020 net loss was $1.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to net earnings of $17.3 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2019. The second quarter 2020 net loss included after-tax charges of $30.9 million, or $0.91 per diluted share, primarily related to restructuring, impairment and other charges, estimated multiemployer pension plan obligations arising from the bankruptcy of LSC Communications and share-based compensation expense. The second- quarter 2019 net earnings included various after-tax charges totaling $8.1 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, 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.

Adjusted EBITDA and Net Earnings

Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2020 was $60.8 million, compared to $56.1 million in the second quarter of 2019. Adjusted EBITDA margin in the second quarter of 2020 was 23.9%, an improvement of 220 basis points versus the second quarter of 2019. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by the impact of cost control initiatives and improved business mix partially offset by increase in variable compensation and employee benefits.

Non-GAAP net earnings totaled $29.6 million, or $0.87 earnings per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2020 compared to non-GAAP net earnings of $25.4 million, or $0.74 earnings per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2019. Reconciliations of net earnings to Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net earnings and Adjusted EBITDA margin, are presented in the attached schedules.

Regulatory Impacts

During the second quarter of 2020, the Company introduced ArcDigital, it's digital content distribution solution. The combination of ArcDigital and ArcPro provides Investment Companies clients with software-based solutions to manage the complexities of content management and digital distribution to address their needs under Securities and Exchange Commissions ("SEC") Rule 30e-3.

As previously disclosed on Form 8K on July 23, 2020, the implementation of SEC Rule 30e-3 (elimination or reduction of print annual & semi-annual Reports), rule 498A (elimination or reduction of print summary prospectus) and the Company's exiting of certain printing and distribution relationships will reduce the Company's print volume by $130-$140 million in 2021. The associated reduction in non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is now estimated to be $5-$10 million.

The Company is executing a restructuring plan, under which it recorded a pre-tax cash expense of approximately $3.9 million during the second quarter of 2020 for severance & other expense related to employee terminations, and expects approximately $2.9 million of additional charges through the second quarter of fiscal year 2021, including approximately $1.4 million in restructuring charges, approximately $1.0 million capital expenditures and approximately $0.5 million operating expense.

Reconciliations of the net earnings to Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA impact are presented in the attached tables.

Use of non-GAAP Information

This news release may contain certain non-GAAP measures, including non-GAAP selling, general, and administrative expenses ("SG&A"), non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP effective tax rate, non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, free cash flow and organic net sales. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, provide useful information about the Company's operating results and liquidity and enhance the overall ability to assess the Company's financial performance. The Company uses these measures, together with other measures of performance under GAAP, to compare the relative performance of operations in planning, budgeting and reviewing the performance of its business.

The Company's non-GAAP statement of operations measures, non-GAAP SG&A, non-GAAP SG&A as % of total net sales, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP effective tax rate, non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, are adjusted to exclude the impact of certain costs, expenses, gains and losses and other specified items that management believes are not indicative of our ongoing operations. These adjusted measures exclude the impact of expenses associated with the Company's acquisition activities, COVID-19 related sales surcharges and expenses, LSC multiemployer pension plan obligations, accelerated rent expense, spinoff related expenses, non-recurringinvestor-related fees, share-based compensation and eliminate potential differences in results of operations between periods caused by factors such as historic cost and age of assets, financing and capital structures, taxation positions or regimes, restructuring, impairment and other charges and gain or loss on certain equity investments and asset sales.

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined by the Company as net cash flow provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. By adjusting for the level of capital investment in operations, the Company believes that free cash flow can provide useful additional basis for understanding the Company's ability to generate cash after capital investment and provides a comparison to peers with differing capital intensity.

Organic net sales is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined by the Company as reported net sales adjusted for the changes in foreign exchange rates.

These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, not a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these measures are defined differently by different companies in our industry and, accordingly, such measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies.

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 DFIN and its expectations relating to future financial condition and performance. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about DFIN 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 DFIN 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 DFIN'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 DFIN'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 DFIN periodic public filings with the SEC, including but not limited to those discussed under "Risk Factors" in DFIN's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, those discussed under "Cautionary Statement" in DFIN's quarterly Form 10-Q filings, and in other investor communications of DFIN's from time to time. DFIN 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. Net earnings (loss) per diluted share totals may not foot due to rounding.
2. Gain on debt extinguishment is recorded within interest expense, net in the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company believes that certain 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 this indicator. These measures should be considered in addition to, not a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

1. The Company has 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 was $120.0 million outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility as of June 30, 2020. Based on the Company's results of operations for the twelve months ended June 30, 2020 and existing debt, the Company would have had the ability to utilize an incremental $180.0 million of the $300.0 million Revolving Facility and not have been in violation of the terms of the agreement.
