Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for Quad/Graphics, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Quad”) have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations for interim financial information of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated annual financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, and notes thereto included in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 21, 2025.

The Company is subject to seasonality in its quarterly results as net sales and operating income are higher in the second half of the calendar year as compared to the first half of the calendar year. The fourth quarter is typically the highest seasonal quarter for cash flows from operating activities and Free Cash Flow due to the reduction of working capital requirements that reach peak levels during the third quarter. Seasonality is driven by increased catalogs and retail inserts primarily due to back-to-school and holiday-related advertising and promotions. The Company expects seasonality impacts to continue in future years.

The financial information contained herein reflects all adjustments, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. All of these adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, except as otherwise noted. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations and accounts of businesses acquired or divested are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition or until the date of divestiture. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include estimates and assumptions of management that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

The Company expects to incur additional restructuring charges related to these and other initiatives.

Impairment Charges

The Company recognized impairment charges of $0.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025, which consisted of $0.4 million for certain property, plant and equipment no longer being utilized in production as a result of facility consolidations, as well as other capacity reduction activities, and $0.2 million for operating lease right-of-use assets. The Company recognized impairment charges of $5.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, which consisted of $3.0 million for software licensing and related implementation costs from a terminated project, $1.9 million for certain property, plant and equipment no longer being utilized in production as a result of facility consolidations, as well as other capacity reduction activities, and $0.2 million for operating lease right-of-use assets.

The Company recognized impairment charges of $52.2 million and $65.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, which consisted of $50.9 million to reduce the carrying value of the majority of the European operations to fair value, including $38.3 million for foreign currency translation adjustments and $12.6 million for property, plant and equipment, $0.5 million and $11.9 million, respectively, for machinery and equipment no longer being utilized in production as a result of facility consolidations, as well as other capacity reduction activities, and $0.8 million and $3.1 million, respectively, for operating lease right-of-use assets.

The fair values of the impaired assets were determined by the Company to be Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy (see Note 10, “Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements,” for the definition of Level 3 inputs) and were estimated based on broker quotes, internal expertise related to current marketplace conditions and estimated future discounted cash flows. These assets were adjusted to their estimated fair values at the time of impairment. If estimated fair values subsequently decline, the carrying values of the assets are adjusted accordingly.

Transaction-Related Charges

The Company incurs transaction-related charges primarily consisting of professional service fees related to business acquisition and divestiture activities, including charges related to the sale of the European operations. Transaction-related charges of $0.4 million and $3.4 million were recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $0.9 million and $1.8 million were recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

Note 4. Strategic Acquisition and Divestiture

Acquisition of Enru Co-mail Assets

On April 1, 2025, the Company acquired the co-mailing assets of Enru, a third party co-mail and logistics solutions provider. The acquisition included co-mail related manufacturing equipment, technology and client relationships which complement and strengthen the Company’s existing co-mail platform. The total estimated purchase price was $27.0 million, consisting of $16.3 million cash paid at closing, an estimated earn-out of $8.8 million, and a deferred payment of $1.9 million. The earn-out is based on the Company’s estimate to be paid over a maximum offive years, if certain financial metrics are achieved post-integration. Included in the purchase price allocation are $11.5 million of identifiable other intangible assets, which are amortized over their estimated useful lives, ranging from five tosix years, $8.2 million of property, plant and equipment, and $7.3 million of goodwill, of which $3.5 million is deductible for tax purposes. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price was based on valuations performed to determine the fair value of the assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date. The assets and liabilities acquired were classified as Level 3 in the valuation hierarchy (see Note 10, “Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements,” for the definition of Level 3 inputs). The operations are included in the United States Print and Related Services segment.

Sale of European Operations

On February 28, 2025, the Company sold its European operations, which primarily consisted of all employees and facilities for Quad/Graphics Europe print and ink manufacturing headquartered in Wyszkow, Poland; the Peppermint agency in Warsaw, Poland; and Quad Point of Sale (including Marin’s International SAS), which has locations throughout Europe.

As of the sale date, the total sales price of $24.1 million consisted of a note receivable for $19.5 million, of which $4.3 million was recorded in receivables and $15.2 million was recorded in other long-term assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet, and retention of $4.6 million of cash classified as assets held for sale. In addition, debt and finance lease obligations of $7.4 million were assumed by the buyer and there are contingent considerations of $10.0 million based upon the European business achieving certain financial metrics. A pre-tax loss of $0.5 million is included in restructuring, impairment and transaction-related charges, net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

The European operations were classified as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, and have historically been included within the international segment and reporting unit.

Note 5. Receivables

Prior to granting credit, the Company evaluates each client in an underwriting process, taking into consideration the prospective client’s financial condition, past payment experience, credit bureau information and other financial and qualitative factors that may affect the client’s ability to pay. Specific credit reviews and standard industry credit scoring models are used in performing this evaluation. Clients’ financial condition is continuously monitored as part of the normal course of business. Some of the Company’s clients are highly leveraged or otherwise subject to their own operating and regulatory risks.

Specific client provisions are made when a review of significant outstanding amounts, utilizing information about client creditworthiness, as well as current and future economic trends based on reasonable forecasts, indicates that collection is doubtful. The Company also records a general provision based on the overall risk profile of the receivables and through the assessment of reasonable economic forecasts. The risk profile is assessed on a quarterly basis using various methods, including external resources and credit scoring models. Accounts that are deemed uncollectible are written off when all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted.

The Company has recorded credit loss expense of $0.4 million and $2.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $0.7 million and $1.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

The Company is named as a defendant in various lawsuits in which claims are asserted against the Company in the normal course of business. The liabilities, if any, which ultimately result from such lawsuits are not expected by management to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Environmental Reserves

The Company is subject to various laws, regulations and government policies relating to health and safety, to the generation, storage, transportation, and disposal of hazardous substances, and to environmental protection in general. The Company provides for expenses associated with environmental remediation obligations when such amounts are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Such reserves are adjusted as new information develops or as circumstances change. The environmental reserves are not discounted. The Company believes it is in compliance with such laws, regulations and government policies in all material respects. Furthermore, the Company does not anticipate that maintaining compliance with such environmental statutes will have a material impact upon the Company’s consolidated financial position.

Note 8. Debt

Senior Secured Credit Facility

The Company completed the eighth amendment to its Senior Secured Credit Facility on January 4, 2024, which added an additional $25.0 million principal value to the Term Loan A. On January 31, 2024, the Company used liquidity available under its revolving credit facility and available cash on hand to fund the repayment on maturity of $87.7 million aggregate principal amount, outstanding at the time, of its Term Loan A. Additionally, due to a portion of the revolving credit facility maturing on January 31, 2024, the total capacity under the revolving credit facility was reduced to $342.5 million as of this date.

The Company completed the ninth amendment to its Senior Secured Credit Facility on October 18, 2024. The Senior Secured Credit Facility was amended to: (1) reduce the aggregate amount of the existing revolving credit facility from $342.5 million to $324.6 million, and extend the maturity of a portion of the revolving credit facility such that $17.7 million under the revolving credit facility will be due on the existing maturity date of November 2, 2026 (the “Existing Maturity Date”) and $306.9 million under the revolving credit facility will be due on October 18, 2029 (the “Extended Maturity Date”); (2) extend the maturity of a portion of the existing Term Loan A such that $8.7 million of such term loan facility will be due on the Existing Maturity Date and $193.2 million will be due on the Extended Maturity Date; (3) make certain adjustments to pricing, including an increase of 0.50% to the interest rate margin applicable to the loans maturing on the Extended Maturity Date; and (4) modify certain financial and operational covenants, including the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (net indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA) shall not exceed 3.00 to 1.00 for any fiscal quarter ending on or after September 30, 2024, as well as the Total Leverage Ratio (consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA) shall not exceed 3.50 to 1.00 for any fiscal quarter ending on or after September 30, 2024.

The Company completed the tenth amendment to its Senior Secured Credit Facility on August 20, 2025, which increased the Term Loan A aggregate outstanding principal by $20.0 million to $370.7 million, and increased its revolving credit availability by $15.0 million to $339.6 million.

Note 9. Income Taxes

The Company records income tax expense on an interim basis. The estimated annual effective income tax rate is adjusted quarterly. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the estimated annual effective income tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate primarily due to net decreases in valuation allowance reserves.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company used an actual effective income tax rate for the year-to-date period to record its income tax expense. The actual effective income tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate primarily due to impairment charges related to foreign investments, net increases in valuation allowance reserves, and estimated non-deductible expenses.

The Company currently has various open tax audits in multiple jurisdictions. From time to time, the Company will receive tax assessments as part of the process. Based on the information available as of September 30, 2025, the Company has recorded its best estimate of the potential settlements of these audits. Actual results could differ from the estimated amounts.

The Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2025, was $9.9 million, an increase of $1.0 million from $8.9 million as of December 31, 2024. The Company anticipates a $1.8 million decrease to its liability for unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months due to the resolution of income tax audits or statute expirations, of which $0.3 million would impact the Company’s effective tax rate.

On July 4, 2025, the United States government passed into law a broad reconciliation bill, commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBB Act”), impacting various areas of domestic policy, including changes to the Internal Revenue Code. The Company is analyzing the various tax provisions of the OBBB Act. The OBBB Act did not have a material impact to the Company's financial statements for the current period ended September 30, 2025. The Company anticipates the OBBB Act will result in a favorable reduction in U.S. cash tax payments for at least the next few years.

Note 10. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

Certain assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, while other assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, generally as a result of acquisitions or impairment charges. 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. GAAP also classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. There wereno Level 3 recurring measurements of assets or liabilities as of September 30, 2025.

Interest Rate Swaps

The Company currently holds four active interest rate swap contracts. The purpose of entering into the contracts was to reduce the variability of cash flows from interest payments related to a portion of Quad’s variable rate debt.

Active Interest Rate Swaps

The active interest rate swaps are each designated as a cash flow hedge as they effectively convert the notional value of the Company’s variable rate debt based on one-month term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) to a fixed rate, including a spread on underlying debt, and a monthly reset in the variable interest rate. The key terms of the active interest rate swaps are as follows:

April 23, 2024 Interest Rate SwapAugust 8, 2025 Interest Rate SwapAugust 28, 2025 Interest Rate SwapSeptember 18, 2025 Interest Rate Swap
Effective dateApril 30, 2024August 12, 2025August 29, 2025September 18, 2025

Term35 Months38 Months37 Months36 Months
Notional amount$50.0$40.0$20.0$20.0
Fixed swap rate4.67%3.46%3.34%3.31%

The Company classifies interest rate swaps as Level 2 because the inputs into the valuation model are observable or can be derived or corroborated utilizing observable market data at commonly quoted intervals. The fair value of the active interest rate swaps classified as Level 2 as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, were as follows:

Balance Sheet LocationSeptember 30, 2025December 31, 2024
Interest rate swap liabilitiesOther long-term liabilities$(1.1)$(0.7)

The active interest rate swaps were highly effective as of September 30, 2025. No amount of ineffectiveness has been recorded into earnings related to the active interest rate swaps. The cash flows associated with the active interest rate swaps have been recognized as an adjustment to interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, and the changes in the fair value of the active interest rate swaps has been included in other comprehensive income (loss) in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss):

Cash Flow Impacts
Net interest paid$—$—$0.1$—
Loss recognized in other comprehensive income (loss)0.11.10.41.6

Terminated Interest Rate Swap

The Company held a $130.0 million interest rate swap, effective on March 29, 2019, that terminated on March 28, 2024. The terminated interest rate swap was previously designated as a cash flow hedge as it effectively converted the notional value of the Company’s variable rate debt based on one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) to a fixed rate, including a spread on underlying debt, and a monthly reset in the variable interest rate. However, the Company amended its Senior Secured Credit Facility during the second quarter of 2020, which added a 0.75% LIBOR floor to the Company’s variable rate debt, changing the critical terms of the hedged instrument. Due to this change in critical terms, the Company had elected to de-designate the swap as a cash flow hedge, resulting in future changes in fair value being recognized in interest expense. The balance of the accumulated other comprehensive loss attributable to the interest rate swap as of June 30, 2020 was then amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the swap contract. Due to the Company’s transition from LIBOR to SOFR during the first quarter of 2023, the interest rate swap’s fixed swap rate was amended to be based on one-month term SOFR.

Prior to the Company’s de-designation of the terminated interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge, the interest rate swap was considered highly effective, withno amount of ineffectiveness recorded into earnings. The change in the fair value of the interest rate swap was recorded as an adjustment to interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The cash flows associated with the terminated interest rate swap have been recognized as an adjustment to interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations:

Total impact of terminated swap to interest expense$0.5

Interest Rate Collars

The Company has entered intotwo interest rate collar contracts, both effective February 1, 2023. The purpose of entering into the contracts was to reduce the variability of cash flows from interest payments related to a portion of Quad’s variable rate debt. The interest rate collars are designated as cash flow hedges as they effectively convert the notional value of the Company’s variable rate debt based on one-month term SOFR to a fixed rate if that month’s interest rate is outside of the collars’ floor and ceiling rates, including a spread on underlying debt, and a monthly reset in the variable interest rate. The key terms of the interest rate collars are as follows:

December 12, 2022Interest Rate CollarDecember 14, 2022Interest Rate Collar
Effective dateFebruary 1, 2023February 1, 2023

Term45 Months33 Months
Notional amount$75.0$75.0
Floor Rate2.09%2.25%
Ceiling Rate5.00%5.00%

The Company classifies interest rate collars as Level 2 because the inputs into the valuation model are observable or can be derived or corroborated utilizing observable market data at commonly quoted intervals. The fair value of the interest rate collars classified as Level 2 as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, were as follows:

Balance Sheet LocationSeptember 30, 2025December 31, 2024
Interest rate collar assetsPrepaid expenses and other current assets$—$0.1

The interest rate collars were highly effective as of September 30, 2025. No amount of ineffectiveness has been recorded into earnings related to these cash flow hedges. The cash flows associated with the interest rate collars have been recognized as an adjustment to interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, and the changes in the fair value of the interest rate collars have been included in other comprehensive income (loss) in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss):

Loss recognized in other comprehensive income (loss)$—$0.6$0.1$—

Foreign Exchange Contracts

The Company has operations in countries that have transactions outside their functional currencies and periodically enters into foreign exchange contracts. These contracts are used to hedge the net exposures of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and are designated as either cash flow hedges or fair value hedges. Gains or losses on net foreign currency hedges are intended to offset losses or gains on the underlying net exposures in an effort to reduce the earnings volatility resulting from fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. As of September 30, 2025, there were three open foreign currency exchange contracts for the future collections of the note receivable from the sale of the European operations, designated as cash flow hedges, with a total notional value of $26.2 million. The change in the fair value of the cash flow hedges resulted in a loss of $0.4 million and $1.1 million included in other comprehensive income (loss) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively.

Natural Gas Forward Contracts

The Company periodically enters into natural gas forward purchase contracts to hedge against increases in commodity costs. The Company’s commodity contracts qualified for the exception related to normal purchases and sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, as the Company takes delivery in the normal course of business.

Debt

The Company measures fair value on its debt instruments using interest rates available to the Company for borrowings with similar terms and maturities and is categorized as Level 2. Based upon the interest rates available to the Company for borrowings with similar terms and maturities, the fair value of the Company’s total debt was approximately $0.5 billion and $0.4 billion at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Other Estimated Fair Value Measurements

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 that may result in impairment charges, which are categorized as Level 3. See Note 4, “Strategic Acquisition and Divestiture” for further discussion on acquisitions. See Note 3, “Restructuring, Impairment and Transaction-Related Charges, Net,” and Note 4, “Strategic Acquisition and Divestiture” for further discussion on fair value remeasurements and for impairment charges recorded as a result of the remeasurement of certain long-lived assets.

The Company records the fair value of its forward contracts and pension plan assets on a recurring basis. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, inventories, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximate their carrying values as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024.

Note 11. Employee Retirement Plans

Pension Plans

The Company assumed various funded and unfunded frozen pension plans for a portion of its full-time employees in the United States as part of the acquisition of World Color Press Inc. (“World Color Press”) in 2010. Benefits are generally based upon years of service and compensation. These plans are funded in conformity with the applicable government regulations. The Company funds at least the minimum amount required for all qualified plans using actuarial cost methods and assumptions acceptable under government regulations.

The components of net pension (expense) income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, were as follows:

Three Months Ended September 30,Nine Months Ended September 30,
2025202420252024
Interest cost$(3.9)$(4.1)$(11.5)$(12.3)
Expected return on plan assets3.84.611.213.6
Net periodic pension (expense) income(0.1)0.5(0.3)1.3
Amortization of actuarial loss(0.3)(0.3)(0.8)(0.7)
Net pension (expense) income$(0.4)$0.2$(1.1)$0.6

The Company made $0.3 million in benefit payments to its non-qualified defined benefit pension plans and madeno contributions to its qualified defined benefit plans during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Multiemployer Pension Plans (“MEPPs”)

The Company has withdrawn from all significant MEPPs and replaced these union sponsored “promise to pay in the future” defined benefit plans with a Company sponsored “pay as you go” defined contribution plan. As a result of the decision to withdraw and the significant underfunding of each MEPP, the Company is required to pay a withdrawal liability based on information provided by each plan’s trustee to fund its pro rata share of the underfunding as of the plan year the full withdrawal was completed. The withdrawal liabilities have been fully paid for all MEPPs except for one, the Graphic Communications International Union - Employer Retirement Fund (“GCIU”).

The Company has reserved $19.8 million for the GCIU withdrawal liability as of September 30, 2025, of which $17.4 million was recorded in other long-term liabilities and $2.4 million was recorded in other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company is scheduled to make payments to the GCIU until April 2032. The Company made payments totaling $2.9 million and $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Note 12. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed as net earnings (loss) divided by the basic weighted average common shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share includes the effect of any dilutive equity incentive instruments. The Company uses the treasury stock method to calculate the effect of outstanding dilutive equity incentive instruments, which requires the Company to compute total proceeds as the sum of the amount the employee must pay upon exercise of the award and the amount of unearned stock-based compensation costs attributable to future services.

Equity incentive instruments for which the total employee proceeds from exercise exceed the average fair value of the same equity incentive instrument over the period have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share during periods with net earnings, and accordingly, the Company excludes them from the calculation. There wereno anti-dilutive equity instruments excluded from the computation of diluted net earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Anti-dilutive equity instruments excluded from the computation of diluted net earnings per share were 0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Due to the net loss incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the assumed exercise of all equity incentive instruments was anti-dilutive and therefore, not included in the diluted loss per share calculation.

Reconciliations of the numerator and the denominator of the basic and diluted per share computations for the Company’s common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, are summarized as follows:

Note 17. New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”), which establishes new income tax disclosures to consistently categorize and provide greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation, including dollar value and percentage impacts of each component of the reconciliation, as well as further disaggregates income taxes paid. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of the 2023-09 on the consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2024-03 “Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures: Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”), which is intended to improve disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses, primarily through additional disaggregation of income statement expenses. The ASU’s amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2024-03 on the consolidated financial statements.
