Words such as “believes”, “anticipates”, ”estimates”, “expects”, “intends”, “aims”, “potential”, “will”, “would”, “could”, “may”, “considered”, “likely”, 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.

This document contains non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP adjusted income from operations, non-GAAP adjusted operating margin, non-GAAP effective tax rate, non-GAAP adjusted diluted EPS and net organic sales growth rate. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, provide useful information about its operating results and enhance the overall ability to assess the Company’s financial performance. Internally, the company uses this non-GAAP information as an indicator of business performance, and evaluates management’s effectiveness with specific reference to these indicators. These measures should be considered in addition to, not a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

FULL YEAR 2019 GUIDANCE REVISEDCurrent Guidance 1 Prior Guidance

October 29, 2019 July 30, 2019

Net sales $6.25 billion to $6.35 billion $6.40 billion to $6.60 billion

Adjusted income from operations - non-GAAP 2 $245 million to $260 million $225 million to $265 million

Adjusted diluted EPS - non-GAAP 2 $0.67 to $0.76 $0.60 to $0.90

Cash flow from operations 3 $150 million to $165 million $150 million to $180 million

Depreciation and amortization Approximately $170 million Approximately $175 million

Interest expense – net Approximately $152 million Approximately $160 million

Adjusted effective tax rate - non-GAAP 2, 4 Approximately 57% Approximately 50%

Capital expenditures 5 Approximately $140 million $135 million to $145 million

Proceeds from facility sales 6 Approximately $32.8 million Approximately $25 million(1) The revised net sales estimate reflects the continued pressure in Logistics and Commercial Print products, as well as the October sale of the GDS business. Despite lower sales performance in Logistics, the Company

believes the business, as well as the overall Logistics market, has stabilized. Adjusted income from operations has been tightened towards the upper end of the previous range reflecting strong operating performance and cost management partially offset by the impact of lower net sales. The adjusted EPS range has also been tightened and now reflects strong operating performance, lower interest expense and a slightly higher effective tax rate, including the additional taxes from the accelerated repatriation of cash.

(2) 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 and other items that are not indicative of the Company's ongoing operations. Such items include, but are not limited to, restructuring charges, impairment charges, pension settlement charges, acquisition-related expenses, gains or losses on investments and business disposals, losses on debt extinguishment, OPEB curtailments 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 believed to be indicators of business performance.

(3) 2019 cash flow from operations guidance includes restructuring payments related to the previously announced sale and relocation of a printing facility in Shenzhen, China and higher net tax payments primarily related to lower tax refunds relative to 2018.

(4) 2019 adjusted effective tax rate - non-GAAP guidance reflects a significantly higher rate than the statutory domestic rate primarily due to continued limitations on the Company’s domestic interest expense deduction and taxes from repatriating more cash in 2019. As earnings grow and interest expense is reduced, the Company expects the effective tax rate to improve over time.

(5) 2019 capital expenditures guidance is higher primarily related to investments associated with building a new facility in China in preparation for an expected sale of the existing facility for approximately $250 million, and additional investments related to the recently awarded 2020 Census contract. The Company expects its 2020 capital expenditures level to return to its previously stated range of 1.5% to 1.7% of net sales.

(6) 2019 proceeds from facility sales guidance primarily reflects the additional non-refundable deposit of $23.7 million collected in the third quarter of 2019 related to the planned facility sale in China and $8.1 million from sale of restructured facilities.
