Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
1. BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business

Veritiv Corporation ("Veritiv" or the "Company") is a North American business-to-business distributor of print, publishing, packaging and facility solutions. Additionally, Veritiv provides logistics and supply chain management solutions to its customers. Veritiv was established in 2014, following the merger of International Paper Company's xpedx distribution solutions business ("xpedx") and UWW Holdings, Inc. ("UWWH"), the parent company of Unisource Worldwide, Inc. ("Unisource") (the "Merger"). The Company operates from approximately 180 distribution centers primarily throughout the U.S., Canada and Mexico.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for a complete set of annual audited financial statements.

The accompanying unaudited financial information should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements and Notes contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2015. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals and other adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

All significant intercompany transactions between Veritiv's businesses have been eliminated.

Following the Merger, certain corporate and other related functions continued to be provided by International Paper under a transition services agreement. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recognized $0.8 million and $9.6 million, respectively, in selling and administrative expenses related to this agreement. As of December 31, 2015, all of the functions originally provided by International Paper under this agreement have been fully transitioned to the Company.
    
Use of Estimates

The preparation of unaudited financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses, and certain financial statement disclosures. Estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to, revenue recognition, accounts receivable valuation, inventory valuation, employee benefit plans, income tax contingency accruals and valuation allowances and goodwill and other intangible asset valuations. Although these estimates are based on management's knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately differ from these estimates and assumptions. Estimates are revised as additional information becomes available.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Standard
 
Description
 
Effective Date
 
Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers
 
The standard will replace existing revenue recognition standards and significantly expand the disclosure requirements for revenue arrangements. It may be adopted either retrospectively or on a modified retrospective basis to new contracts and existing contracts with remaining performance obligations as of the effective date.
 
January 1, 2018; early adoption date is no earlier than the annual period beginning after December 15, 2016
 
The Company is currently evaluating the alternative methods of adoption (full retrospective or modified retrospective), and the effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. The Company plans to adopt this ASU on January 1, 2018.
ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory
 
The standard requires companies to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value, thereby simplifying the current guidance under which an entity must measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. This ASU will not apply to inventories measured by either the last-in first-out (LIFO) method or retail inventory method.
 
January 1, 2017
 
The Company plans to adopt this ASU on January 1, 2017. Given that the majority (approximately 87% of the September 30, 2016 inventory balance) of the Company's inventory is measured using LIFO, it is not expected that the adoption of these provisions will have a material effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)
 
The standard requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheet but recognize expenses in their statement of operations in a manner similar to current accounting guidance. The new standard also eliminates the current guidance related to real estate specific provisions.
 
January 1, 2019; early adoption is permitted
 
The Company is currently evaluating the impact the ASU will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. The Company plans to adopt this ASU on January 1, 2019.
ASU 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718)
 
The standard was issued as part of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's simplification initiative. The areas for simplification involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, award classification as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows.
 
January 1, 2017; early adoption is permitted
 
The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2016. The adoption did not materially impact the financial statements or related disclosures.
ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326)
 
The standard will replace the currently required incurred loss impairment methodology with guidance that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to be considered in making credit loss estimates.
 
January 1, 2020; early adoption for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018
 
The Company is currently evaluating the impact the ASU will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. The Company plans to adopt this ASU on January 1, 2020.
ASU 2016-15,
Statement of Cash
Flows (Topic 230)

 
The standard addresses eight specific cash flow
issues and is intended to reduce diversity in
practice in how certain cash receipts and cash
payments are presented and classified in the
statement of cash flows.

 
January 1,
2018; early
adoption is
permitted

 
The Company is currently evaluating the impact the ASU will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. The Company plans to adopt this ASU on January 1, 2018.
Integration and Restructuring Charges
Integration and Restructuring Charges
2. INTEGRATION AND RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

Integration Charges

The Company initially expected integration and restructuring charges (associated with achieving anticipated cost savings and other synergies from the Merger) to be approximately $225 million through 2017, including approximately $55 million for capital expenditures primarily consisting of information technology infrastructure, systems integration and planning. Approximately $27 million of transaction-related expenses incurred at the time of the Merger and the $5.0 million restructuring charge in the third quarter of 2016 for a partial withdrawal from a multi-employer pension plan discussed below are excluded from the $225 million estimate of integration and restructuring charges. Through September 30, 2016, the Company has incurred approximately $176 million in charges, including approximately $57 million for capital expenditures.
    
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, Veritiv incurred costs to integrate the combined businesses of xpedx and Unisource. Integration expenses include professional services and project management fees, internally dedicated integration management resources, retention compensation, information technology conversion costs, rebranding costs and other costs to integrate the combined businesses of xpedx and Unisource.

The following table summarizes the components of integration expenses:

Veritiv Restructuring Plan
As part of the Merger, the Company is executing on a multi-year restructuring program of its North American operations intended to integrate the legacy xpedx and Unisource operations, generate cost savings and capture synergies across the combined company. The restructuring plan includes initiatives to: (i) consolidate warehouse facilities in overlapping markets, (ii) improve efficiency of the delivery network, (iii) consolidate customer service centers, (iv) reorganize the field sales and operations functions and (v) restructure the corporate general and administrative functions. As part of its restructuring efforts, the Company also continues to evaluate its operations outside of North America to identify additional cost saving opportunities. The Company has elected to restructure certain of its operations in specific countries, which included staff reductions, lease terminations, and facility closures.

Related to these company-wide initiatives, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $5.8 million and $3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company recorded restructuring charges of $7.2 million and $8.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The restructuring charge recorded in the third quarter of 2016 consisted primarily of an estimated charge of $5.0 million related to the partial withdrawal from a multi-employer pension plan. The Company has also withdrawn from a multi-employer pension plan unrelated to the restructuring program and included the estimated charge of $2.3 million in distribution expenses. See Note 11, Segment Information, for the impact these charges had on the Company's reportable segments. Other direct costs reported in the table below include facility closing costs and other incidental costs associated with the development, communication, administration and implementation of these initiatives.

The following is a summary of the Company's restructuring activity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016:

(1) Equipment capital lease obligations include $10.7 million and $0.7 million related to the Toronto build-to-suit arrangement for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and for the year ended December 31, 2015, respectively.         

On August 11, 2016, the Company amended its ABL Facility to, among other things, extend the maturity date to August 11, 2021. All other significant terms remained consistent. The Company recognized a charge of $1.9 million to interest expense, net, on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, for the write-off of a portion of the previously deferred financing costs associated with lenders in the original ABL Facility that exited the amended ABL Facility. In addition, the Company incurred and deferred $2.0 million of new financing costs associated with this transaction, reflected in other non-current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, which will be amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the amended term of the ABL Facility.

Availability under the ABL Facility is determined based upon a monthly borrowing base calculation which includes eligible customer receivables and inventory, less outstanding borrowings, letters of credit and certain designated reserves. As of September 30, 2016, the available additional borrowing capacity under the ABL Facility was approximately $442.1 million.

The Company’s provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 is based on the estimated annual effective tax rate, plus any discrete items.

The following table presents the provision for income taxes and the effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015:

The difference between the Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 and the U.S. statutory tax rate of 35.0% primarily relates to the inability to recognize tax benefits on certain losses in the current year, non-deductible expenses, state income taxes (net of federal income tax benefit) and adjustments to uncertain tax positions. Additionally, the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 includes the recognition of U.S. tax benefit with respect to foreign exchange loss on the capitalization of an intercompany loan with the Company's Canadian subsidiary. The effective tax rate may vary significantly due to potential fluctuations in the amount and source, including both foreign and domestic, of pre-tax income and changes in amounts of non-deductible expenses and other items that could impact the effective tax rate.

5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Transactions with Georgia-Pacific

Veritiv purchases certain inventory items from, and sells certain inventory items to, Georgia-Pacific in the normal course of business. As a result of the Merger and related private placement, Georgia-Pacific, as joint owner of the sole stockholder of UWWH, is a related party. The following tables summarize the financial impact of these related party transactions with Georgia-Pacific:

In April 2016, Veritiv assumed ownership of a warehouse and distribution facility located in Austin, Texas that was subleased from Georgia-Pacific. The Company exercised its right of first refusal and matched a $5.4 million offer from an unrelated third party to purchase the facility directly from the owner. This transaction was accounted for as a settlement of the financing obligation related to the facility. Accordingly, Veritiv recognized a $1.3 million loss on the transaction, which is reflected in other expense (income), net, on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
Defined Benefit Plans

Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements
7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the carrying amounts of cash, receivables, payables and other components of other current assets and other current liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short maturity of these items.

Certain of the Company's assets and liabilities are also subject to nonrecurring fair value measurements. Generally, assets are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as a result of impairment charges. For the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recognized $3.0 million in asset impairment charges related to its Publishing segment's customer relationship intangible asset, included in selling and administrative expenses, on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The impairment was determined after review of the segment's trended revenues and estimated cash flows (Level 3) for the specific customers included in the original asset valuation. As a result, the entire carrying value was deemed impaired. For the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recognized $2.0 million in asset impairment charges related to property, plant and equipment disposed of as part of its restructuring efforts. The charge is included in restructuring charges on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company has on occasion recognized other minor impairments when warranted as part of its normal review of long-lived assets. Total asset impairments for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were $4.0 million and $2.6 million, respectively.

The Company's liabilities disclosed at fair value at September 30, 2016 were as follows:

Borrowings under the ABL Facility are at variable market interest rates and, accordingly, the carrying amount approximates fair value.

At the time of the Merger, the Company recorded a $59.4 million contingent liability associated with the Tax Receivable Agreement ("TRA") at fair value using a discounted cash flow model that reflected management's expectations about probability of payment. The fair value of the TRA is a Level 3 measurement which relied upon both Level 2 data (publicly observable data such as market interest rates) and Level 3 data (internal data such as the Company’s projected revenues, taxable income and assumptions about the utilization of Unisource’s net operating losses, attributable to taxable periods prior to the Merger, by the Company). The contingent liability is remeasured at fair value at each reporting period with the change in fair value recognized in other expense (income), net in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. At September 30, 2016, the Company remeasured the contingent liability using a discount rate of 4.3%.

Earnings Per Share
Earnings Per Share
8. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share ("EPS") for Veritiv common stock is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is similarly calculated, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued, except where the inclusion of such common shares would have an antidilutive impact.

A summary of the numerators and denominators used in the basic and diluted EPS calculation is as follows:

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company is involved in various lawsuits, claims, and regulatory and administrative proceedings arising out of its business relating to general commercial and contractual matters, governmental regulations, intellectual property rights, labor and employment matters, tax and other actions.

Although the ultimate outcome of any legal proceeding or investigation cannot be predicted with certainty, based on present information, including the Company's assessment of the merits of the particular claim, the Company does not expect that any asserted or unasserted legal claims or proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its cash flow, results of operations or financial condition.
Escheat Audit

During 2013, Unisource was notified by the State of Delaware that it intended to examine the books and records of Unisource to determine compliance with Delaware escheat laws. Since that date, seven other states have joined with Delaware in the audit process, which is conducted by an outside firm on behalf of the states. While the original time period for the audit was from 1981 to present, recent legal developments have resulted in Delaware narrowing the time period to July 1, 1992 to present. The Company has been informed that similar audits have generally taken four years or more to complete. The Company has determined that the ultimate outcome of this audit cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Any claims or liabilities resulting from these audits could have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)
Basis of Presentation 
Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for a complete set of annual audited financial statements.

The accompanying unaudited financial information should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements and Notes contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2015. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals and other adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

All significant intercompany transactions between Veritiv's businesses have been eliminated.

Following the Merger, certain corporate and other related functions continued to be provided by International Paper under a transition services agreement. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recognized $0.8 million and $9.6 million, respectively, in selling and administrative expenses related to this agreement. As of December 31, 2015, all of the functions originally provided by International Paper under this agreement have been fully transitioned to the Company.
    
Use of Estimates 
Use of Estimates

The preparation of unaudited financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses, and certain financial statement disclosures. Estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to, revenue recognition, accounts receivable valuation, inventory valuation, employee benefit plans, income tax contingency accruals and valuation allowances and goodwill and other intangible asset valuations. Although these estimates are based on management's knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately differ from these estimates and assumptions. Estimates are revised as additional information becomes available.

Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers
 
The standard will replace existing revenue recognition standards and significantly expand the disclosure requirements for revenue arrangements. It may be adopted either retrospectively or on a modified retrospective basis to new contracts and existing contracts with remaining performance obligations as of the effective date.
 
January 1, 2018; early adoption date is no earlier than the annual period beginning after December 15, 2016
 
The Company is currently evaluating the alternative methods of adoption (full retrospective or modified retrospective), and the effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. The Company plans to adopt this ASU on January 1, 2018.
ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory
 
The standard requires companies to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value, thereby simplifying the current guidance under which an entity must measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. This ASU will not apply to inventories measured by either the last-in first-out (LIFO) method or retail inventory method.

The Company plans to adopt this ASU on January 1, 2017. Given that the majority (approximately 87% of the September 30, 2016 inventory balance) of the Company's inventory is measured using LIFO, it is not expected that the adoption of these provisions will have a material effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)
 
The standard requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheet but recognize expenses in their statement of operations in a manner similar to current accounting guidance. The new standard also eliminates the current guidance related to real estate specific provisions.
 
January 1, 2019; early adoption is permitted
 
The Company is currently evaluating the impact the ASU will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. The Company plans to adopt this ASU on January 1, 2019.
ASU 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718)
 
The standard was issued as part of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's simplification initiative. The areas for simplification involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, award classification as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows.
 
January 1, 2017; early adoption is permitted
 
The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2016. The adoption did not materially impact the financial statements or related disclosures.
ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326)
 
The standard will replace the currently required incurred loss impairment methodology with guidance that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to be considered in making credit loss estimates.
 
January 1, 2020; early adoption for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018
 
The Company is currently evaluating the impact the ASU will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. The Company plans to adopt this ASU on January 1, 2020.
ASU 2016-15,
Statement of Cash
Flows (Topic 230)

 
The standard addresses eight specific cash flow
issues and is intended to reduce diversity in
practice in how certain cash receipts and cash
payments are presented and classified in the
statement of cash flows.

 
January 1,
2018; early
adoption is
permitted

 
The Company is currently evaluating the impact the ASU will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. The Company plans to adopt this ASU on January 1, 2018.
