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 full-service provider of value-added packaging products and services, as well as facility solutions and print-based products and services. Veritiv was established in 2014, following the merger of International Paper Company's xpedx distribution solutions business and UWW Holdings, Inc., the parent company of Unisource Worldwide, Inc. ("Unisource"). Veritiv operates primarily throughout the United States ("U.S.") and Mexico.

On May 2, 2022, the Company sold its Veritiv Canada, Inc. business. On September 1, 2022, the Company sold its logistics solutions business. These sales did not represent strategic shifts that will have a major effect on the Company's operations or financial results and they did not meet the requirements to be classified as discontinued operations.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("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 Financial Statements and Notes contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for the year ended December 31, 2022. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals and other adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information have been included. The operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year, particularly in light of the Company's divestitures and the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on the domestic and global economies. These financial statements include all of the Company's subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions between Veritiv's businesses have been eliminated.

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, right-of-use ("ROU") asset and liability valuations, accounts and notes receivable valuations, inventory valuation, employee benefit plans, long-term incentive plans, income tax contingency accruals and valuation allowances, multi-employer pension plan ("MEPP") withdrawal liabilities, contingency accruals, 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.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected Veritiv's operational and financial performance to varying degrees and the Company could continue to experience impacts including, but not limited to, charges from potential adjustments of the carrying amount of accounts and notes receivables and inventory, asset impairment charges and deferred tax valuation allowances. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are uncertain and difficult to predict. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, the Company may experience an impact to its business as a result of any economic recession, downturn or volatility, legislative and regulatory changes or long-term changes in customer behavior. Estimates are revised as additional information becomes available.

Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Effective January 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2022-04, Liabilities- Supplier
Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50). This standard requires disclosure of the key terms of outstanding supplier finance programs and a rollforward of the related obligations. The amendments in this update do not affect the recognition, measurement or financial statement presentation of obligations covered by supplier finance programs. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 on a retrospective basis, including interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the requirement to disclose rollforward information, which is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The adoption did not, and is not expected to have in the future, any material impact on the Company's related disclosures.

Effective March 17, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). This standard provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to accounting guidance for certain contract modifications and hedging arrangements to ease financial reporting burdens as the market transitions from the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and other interbank reference rates to alternative reference rates, such as Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (''SOFR"). The guidance is available for prospective application upon its issuance and can generally be applied to contract modifications and hedging relationships entered into March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2024. On March 17, 2023, the Company modified its Asset-Based Lending Facility, incorporating the transition from LIBOR to Term SOFR. The adoption did not materially impact the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Revenue Recognition and Credit Losses

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]  
Revenue Recognition and Credit Losses
2. REVENUE RECOGNITION AND CREDIT LOSSES

Revenue Recognition and Composition

Certain revenues are derived from shipments which are made directly from a manufacturer to a Veritiv customer. The Company is considered to be a principal to these transactions. Revenues from these sales are reported on a gross basis on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and have historically represented approximately 35% of Veritiv's total net sales. As a normal business practice, Veritiv does not enter into contracts that require more than one year to complete or that contain significant financing components. The Company considers handling and delivery as activities to fulfill its performance obligations. Billings for third-party freight are accounted for as net sales and handling and delivery costs are accounted for as distribution expenses. Veritiv enters into incentive programs with certain of its customers, which are generally based on sales to those same customers. Veritiv follows the expected value method when estimating its retrospective incentives and records the estimated amount as a reduction to gross sales when revenue is recognized. Estimates of the variable consideration are based primarily on contract terms, current customer forecasts as well as historical experience.

Customer product returns are estimated based on historical experience and the identification of specific events necessitating an adjustment. The estimated return value is recognized as a reduction of gross sales and related cost of products sold. The estimated inventory returns value is recognized as part of inventories, while the estimated customer refund liability is recognized as part of other accrued liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, estimated inventory returns were not significant.

A customer contract liability will arise when Veritiv has received payment for goods and services but has not yet transferred the items to a customer and satisfied its performance obligations. Veritiv records a customer contract liability for performance obligations outstanding related to payments received in advance for customer deposits on equipment sales and other sale arrangements requiring prepayment, which are included in accounts payable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Veritiv expects to satisfy these remaining performance obligations and recognize the related revenues upon delivery of the goods and services to the customer's designated location within 12 months following receipt of the payment. Most equipment sales deposits are held for approximately 90 days and other sale arrangements requiring prepayment initially cover a 60 - 90 day period but can be renewed by the customer.
See the table below for a year-to-date summary of the changes to the customer contract liabilities balance:

(1) Reflects liabilities removed as part of the sale of a business.

Historically, the Company's ten largest customers have generated approximately 10% - 15% of its consolidated annual net sales. Veritiv's principal markets are concentrated primarily across North America. Approximately 97% of its reported net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were generated in the U.S. Veritiv evaluated the nature of the products and services provided to its customers as well as the nature of the customer and the geographical distribution of its customer base and determined that the best representative level of disaggregated revenue is the product category basis. The following is a brief description of the Company's three reportable segments, organized by major product category. This segment structure is consistent with the way the Chief Operating Decision Maker, who is Veritiv's Chief Executive Officer, makes operating decisions and manages the growth and profitability of the Company's business. The Company also has a Corporate & Other category, which includes certain assets and costs not primarily attributable to any of the reportable segments. Prior to its divestiture in September 2022, the Company's logistics solutions business, which provided transportation and warehousing solutions, was also included in Corporate & Other.

Packaging – The Packaging segment provides custom and standard packaging solutions for customers based in North America and in key global markets. This segment services its customers with a full spectrum of packaging product materials within flexible, corrugated and fiber, ancillary packaging, rigid and equipment categories. The business is strategically focused on higher growth industry sectors including manufacturing, food and beverage, wholesale and retail, healthcare and transportation, as well as specialty sectors based on industry and product expertise. This segment also provides supply chain solutions, structural and graphic packaging design and engineering, automation, workflow and equipment services and kitting.

Facility Solutions – The Facility Solutions segment sources and sells cleaning, break-room and other supplies in product categories that include towels and tissues, food service, personal protective equipment, cleaning chemicals and skincare, primarily in North America. Additionally, the Company offers total cost of ownership solutions with re-merchandising, budgeting and compliance reporting and inventory management.

Print Solutions – The Print Solutions segment sells and distributes commercial printing, writing and copying products and services primarily in North America. Veritiv's broad geographic platform of operations and services, coupled with the breadth of paper and graphics products, including exclusive private brand offerings, provides a comprehensive suite of solutions in paper procurement, print management, supply chain and distribution.

See Note 12, Segment and Other Information, for the disaggregation of revenue and other information related to the Company's reportable segments and Corporate & Other.

4. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

2020 Restructuring Plan

During 2020, the Company initiated a restructuring plan (the "2020 Restructuring Plan") to (1) respond to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business operations, (2) address the ongoing secular changes in its print and publishing operations and (3) further align its cost structure with ongoing business needs as the Company executes on its stated corporate strategy. As of December 31, 2022, the 2020 Restructuring Plan was complete. See Note 12, Segment and Other Information, for the impact that charges from this restructuring plan had on the Company's reportable segments.

Other direct costs reported in the tables below include facility closing costs and other incidental costs associated with the development, communication, administration and implementation of these initiatives; unless otherwise indicated, costs incurred exclude any restructuring gains or losses on lease terminations and asset disposals.

The following table presents a summary of restructuring charges, net, showing the cumulative amounts since the initiatives began:

ABL Facility

On March 17, 2023, the Company amended its ABL Facility to, among other things, replace LIBOR provisions with analogous SOFR provisions. The Company currently expects to complete the full transition to Term SOFR in the second quarter of 2023. All other significant terms remained substantially the same. The ABL Facility has aggregate commitments of $1.1 billion, a maturity date of May 20, 2026 and interest rates which are based on LIBOR, Term SOFR or the prime rate plus a margin rate. 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 March 31, 2023, the available additional borrowing capacity under the ABL Facility was approximately $681.8 million. As of March 31, 2023, the Company held $8.6 million in outstanding letters of credit.

The ABL Facility has a springing minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00 to 1.00 on a trailing four-quarter basis, which will be tested only when specified availability is less than the limits outlined under the ABL Facility. At March 31,
2023, the above test was not applicable and based on information available as of the date of this report it is not expected to be applicable in the next 12 months.

Commercial Card Program

The Company has a commercial purchasing card program that is used for business purpose purchasing and must be paid in-full monthly. At March 31, 2023, the card carried a maximum credit limit of $37.5 million. The net change in the outstanding balance is included in other financing activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Vendor-Based Financing Arrangements

On occasion, the Company enters into long-term vendor-based financing arrangements with suppliers to obtain products, services or property in exchange for extended payment terms. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company entered into a vendor-based financing agreement with a principal amount of $18.5 million to finance the acquisition of certain internal use software licenses which is being paid in annual installments over a five-year term. The payments associated with this arrangement are classified as financing activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company has not entered into any other similar arrangements in the current year period.

6. INCOME TAXES

The Company calculated the expense for income taxes during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year to "ordinary" income (pre-tax income excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items) for the reporting periods.

7. DEFINED BENEFIT PLANS

Veritiv maintains an open defined benefit pension plan in the U.S. for employees covered by certain collectively bargained agreements. Veritiv also maintains a defined benefit plan in the U.S., which includes frozen cash balance accounts for certain former Unisource employees, and formerly maintained similar plans for Canadian employees prior to the sale of Veritiv Canada, Inc. No other employees participate in Veritiv-sponsored defined benefit pension plans.

Effective December 1, 2021, the Company divided the U.S. Veritiv Pension Plan by establishing a new Veritiv Hourly Pension Plan to provide benefits to certain employees who were accruing a benefit under the U.S. Veritiv Pension Plan pursuant to the terms of a collective bargaining agreement. Veritiv currently has the intent to terminate and settle the U.S. Veritiv Pension Plan by the end of 2023. The Veritiv Hourly Pension Plan will remain open.
Total net periodic benefit cost (credit) associated with these plans is summarized below:

Fair Value Measurements
8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables, other components of other current assets and other accrued liabilities, and the short-term debt associated with the commercial card program approximate their fair values due to the short maturity of these items. Cash and cash equivalents may include highly-liquid investments with original maturities to the Company of three months or less that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash.

Debt and Other Obligations

Borrowings under the ABL Facility are at variable market interest rates, and accordingly, the carrying amount approximates fair value, which is a Level 2 measurement. The Company's one interest rate cap agreement, which was related to the ABL Facility, expired on September 13, 2022. Prior to its expiration, the fair value of the interest rate cap was derived from a discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the agreement and Level 2 data for the forward interest rate curve adjusted for the Company's credit risk and was not significant for the periods presented in this report. See Note 5, Debt, for additional information regarding the Company's ABL Facility and other obligations.

9. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share for Veritiv common stock is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the respective periods. Diluted earnings per share is similarly calculated, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding during those periods if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued, using the treasury stock method, 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 earnings per share calculations is as follows:

Treasury Stock - Share Repurchase Program

On March 1, 2022, Veritiv announced that its Board of Directors authorized a $200 million share repurchase program (the "2022 Share Repurchase Program"). The 2022 Share Repurchase Program authorizes the Company, from time to time, to purchase shares of its common stock through open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, forward, derivative or accelerated repurchase transactions, tender offers or otherwise, including Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, in accordance with all applicable securities laws and regulations. The timing and method of any repurchases, which will depend on a variety of market factors, including market conditions, are subject to results of operations, financial conditions, cash requirements and other factors. This authorization may be suspended, terminated, increased or decreased by the Board of Directors at any time. During the month ended March 31, 2022, the Company repurchased 78,025 shares of its common stock at a cost of approximately $10.4 million under its 2022 Share Repurchase Program. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company completed its repurchases under the 2022 Share Repurchase Program by repurchasing 1,564,420 shares of its common stock at a cost of $200 million, reaching the program's authorized repurchase limit.
Veritiv Omnibus Incentive Plan

In accordance with the Company's 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended and restated as of March 8, 2017, shares of the Company's common stock were issued to plan participants whose Restricted Stock Units, Performance Share Units, Market Condition Performance Share Units and/or non-employee director grants (grants not deferred) vested during those periods. The net share issuance is included on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Shareholders' Equity for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. The related cash flow impacts are included in financing activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. For additional information related to these plans, refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2022.

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 results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

MEPPs

The Company records an estimated undiscounted charge when it becomes probable that it has incurred a withdrawal liability when exiting a MEPP. Final charges for MEPP withdrawals are not known until the plans issue their respective determinations. As a result, these estimates may increase or decrease depending upon the final determinations. Charges not related to the Company's restructuring efforts are recorded as distribution expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Initial amounts are recorded as other non-current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the fourth quarter of 2022, in the course of negotiations for a collective bargaining agreement, Veritiv negotiated a complete withdrawal from the Teamsters Pension Trust Fund of Philadelphia and Vicinity to take effect on December 31, 2024, and recognized an estimated complete withdrawal liability of $4.9 million as of December 31, 2022, which was unchanged as of March 31, 2023. The withdrawal charge was recorded in distribution expenses as it was not related to a restructuring activity. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has not yet received the determination letter for the complete withdrawal from the Teamsters Pension Trust Fund of Philadelphia and Vicinity. The Company expects that payments will occur over an approximate 19-year period.

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 Financial Statements and Notes contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for the year ended December 31, 2022. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals and other adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information have been included. The operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year, particularly in light of the Company's divestitures and the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on the domestic and global economies. These financial statements include all of the Company's subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions between Veritiv's businesses have been eliminated.

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, right-of-use ("ROU") asset and liability valuations, accounts and notes receivable valuations, inventory valuation, employee benefit plans, long-term incentive plans, income tax contingency accruals and valuation allowances, multi-employer pension plan ("MEPP") withdrawal liabilities, contingency accruals, 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.
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected Veritiv's operational and financial performance to varying degrees and the Company could continue to experience impacts including, but not limited to, charges from potential adjustments of the carrying amount of accounts and notes receivables and inventory, asset impairment charges and deferred tax valuation allowances. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are uncertain and difficult to predict. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, the Company may experience an impact to its business as a result of any economic recession, downturn or volatility, legislative and regulatory changes or long-term changes in customer behavior. Estimates are revised as additional information becomes available.

Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Effective January 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2022-04, Liabilities- Supplier
Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50). This standard requires disclosure of the key terms of outstanding supplier finance programs and a rollforward of the related obligations. The amendments in this update do not affect the recognition, measurement or financial statement presentation of obligations covered by supplier finance programs. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 on a retrospective basis, including interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the requirement to disclose rollforward information, which is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The adoption did not, and is not expected to have in the future, any material impact on the Company's related disclosures.

Effective March 17, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). This standard provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to accounting guidance for certain contract modifications and hedging arrangements to ease financial reporting burdens as the market transitions from the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and other interbank reference rates to alternative reference rates, such as Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (''SOFR"). The guidance is available for prospective application upon its issuance and can generally be applied to contract modifications and hedging relationships entered into March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2024. On March 17, 2023, the Company modified its Asset-Based Lending Facility, incorporating the transition from LIBOR to Term SOFR. The adoption did not materially impact the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
