LSC COMMUNICATIONS CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

+ This presentation 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 LSC Communications and its expectations relating to future financial

condition and performance. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about LSC

Communications 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 LSC Communications 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 LSC Communications’ 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 LSC

Communications’ 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 LSC Communications’ information statement, dated September 23, 2016, filed as an exhibit to our Current

Report filed on Form 8-K filed on September 23, 2016 and LSC Communications’ periodic filings with the

SEC. LSC Communications 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.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

+ This presentation contains certain non-GAAP measures. The Company believes that these non-GAAP

measures, such as non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and free cash flow, 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.

Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and free cash flow allow investors to make a more

meaningful comparison between the Company’s core business operating results over different periods of

time. The Company believes that non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and free cash flow,

when viewed with the Company’s results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations, provides useful

information about the Company’s business without regard to potential distortions. By eliminating potential

differences in results of operations between periods caused by factors such as depreciation and amortization

methods, 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,

the Company believes that non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income can provide useful

additional basis for comparing the current performance of the underlying operations being evaluated. 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.

Debt Maturity Profile at 9/30/2016

(1)The Company has a $400.0 million senior secured revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) which expires on September 30, 2021. The Credit Agreement is

subject to a number of covenants, including, but not limited to, a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio and a maximum Leverage Ratio, as defined in and calculated pursuant to

FULL YEAR 2016 GUIDANCE (1)

Certain components of the guidance given in the table above are provided on a non-GAAP basis only, without providing a reconciliation to

guidance provided on a GAAP basis. Information is presented in this manner, consistent with SEC rules, because the preparation of such

a reconciliation could not be accomplished without "unreasonable efforts.“ The Company does not have access to certain information that

would be necessary to provide such a reconciliation, including non-recurring items that are not indicative of the Company's ongoing

operations. Such items include, but are not limited to, restructuring charges, impairment charges, spinoff-related transaction expenses,

pension settlement charges, acquisition-related expenses, gains or losses on investments and business disposals, losses on debt

extinguishment and other similar gains or losses not reflective of the Company's ongoing operations. The Company does not believe that

excluding such items is likely to be significant to an assessment of the Company's ongoing operations, given that such excluded items are

not indicators of business performance.

(1) Full year 2016 guidance as of Q3 2016 Earnings Call on November 10, 2016 and is not being reaffirmed here.
