PART I
Item 1.  Business

Overview

We are a diversified manufacturing company focused on print-related products. Our broad portfolio of products includes envelope converting, commercial printing, label manufacturing and specialty packaging. We operate a global network of strategically located manufacturing facilities, serving a diverse base of over 100,000 customers. We operate our business in three complementary reportable segments: envelope, print, and label and packaging.


Envelope. We are the largest envelope manufacturer in North America. On September 16, 2013, we enhanced our manufacturing capabilities and reduced capacity in the envelope industry with the acquisition of certain assets of National Envelope Corporation, which we refer to as National. Our envelope segment had net sales of $929.5 million, $749.9 million and $658.2 million and operating income of $29.6 million, $39.8 million and $45.5 million, in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Total assets for our envelope segment were $449.8 million and $472.3 million, as of the years ended 2014 and 2013, respectively. Our envelope segment represented approximately 47.7% of our consolidated net sales for the year ended 2014.

Our envelope segment offers direct mail products used for customer solicitations and transactional envelopes used for billing and remittance by end users including financial institutions, insurance companies and telecommunications companies. We also produce a broad line of specialty and stock envelopes which are sold through wholesalers, distributors and national catalogs for the office product markets and office product superstores.

Print. We are one of the leading commercial printers in North America. Our print segment had net sales of $534.0 million, $529.8 million and $585.6 million and operating income (loss) of $19.2 million, $(6.0) million and $32.8 million, in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Total assets for our print segment were $291.9 million and $320.7 million, as of the years ended 2014 and 2013, respectively. Our print segment represented approximately 27.4% of our consolidated net sales for the year ended 2014.

Our print segment primarily caters to the consumer products, automotive, travel and leisure and telecommunications industries. We provide a wide array of print offerings to our customers including electronic prepress, digital asset archiving, direct-to-plate technology, high-quality color printing on web and sheet-fed presses, digital printing and content management. The broad selection of print products we produce includes car brochures, annual reports, direct mail products, advertising literature, corporate identity materials and brand marketing materials.  Our content management business offers complete solutions, including: editing, content processing, content management, electronic peer review, production, distribution and reprint marketing.

Label and Packaging.  We are a leading label manufacturer and the largest North American prescription label manufacturer for retail pharmacy chains. On December 31, 2012, we added to our label business with the acquisition of Express Label Company, which we refer to as Express Label. Our specialty packaging business currently focuses on specialty folded carton packaging and shrink-sleeve packaging. Our label and packaging segment had net sales of $485.5 million, $498.2 million and $494.4 million and operating income of $37.0 million, $32.6 million and $54.7 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Total assets for our label and packaging segment were $355.3 million and $356.2 million, as of the years ended 2014 and 2013, respectively. Our label and packaging segment represented approximately 24.9% of our consolidated net sales for the year ended 2014.

Our label and packaging segment produces a diverse line of custom labels for a broad range of industries including manufacturing, warehousing, packaging, food and beverage, and health and beauty, which we sell through extensive networks within the resale channels. We provide direct mail and overnight packaging labels, food and beverage labels, and shelf and scale labels for national and regional customers. We produce pressure-sensitive prescription labels for the retail pharmacy chain market. We produce premium, high-quality promotional packaging offerings including: folded carton and full body shrink-sleeves. Our primary customers for our specialty packaging products are pharmaceutical, apparel, neutraceutical and other large, multinational consumer product companies.

The primary methods of distribution of the principal products for our three segments are by freight carriers, direct shipment via express mail and the United States postal system.

Acquisitions and Divestitures
Acquisitions

On September 16, 2013, we acquired certain assets of National. National's accounts receivable and inventory were purchased by unrelated third parties in conjunction with our acquisition. National manufactured and distributed envelope products for the wholesale, billing, financial, direct mail and office products markets and had approximately 1,600 employees. We believe the acquisition of certain assets of National enhanced our manufacturing capabilities and reduced capacity in the envelope industry.
On December 31, 2012, we acquired all of the assets of Express Label, which had annual net sales of approximately $5.4 million prior to our acquisition. Express Label is a label business focusing on food and grocery customers and was acquired to further enhance our label operations.

Divestitures

On September 28, 2013, we completed the sale of our Custom Envelope Group, which we refer to as Custom Envelope. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2013, we decided to exit the San Francisco market and closed a manufacturing facility located there. As a result, the financial results of Custom Envelope and the San Francisco facility have been accounted for as discontinued operations. Our historical, consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to reflect these discontinued operations separately from continuing operations for all periods presented. See Note 3 of our consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

In February of 2012, we completed the sale of our documents and forms business, which we refer to as the Documents Group. In January of 2012, we completed the sale of our wide-format papers business.

Collectively, we refer to these businesses as the Discontinued Operations.

Our Business Strategy
Our business strategy has been, and continues to be, focused on improving sales performance, pursuing and integrating strategic acquisitions, improving our cost and capital structure, and maintaining reasonable levels of financial flexibility. We believe this strategy has allowed us to diversify our revenue base, maintain our low cost structure and deliver quality product offerings to our customers.

Improving Sales Performance

Our sales focus has been, and will continue to be, on our customers' experience across each of our businesses, ensuring we meet our customers' demands. We conduct regular reviews of our product offerings, manufacturing processes and distribution methods to ensure they meet the changing needs of our customers. By expanding our product offerings, we intend to increase cross-selling opportunities to better serve our existing customer base. Additionally, we will continue to make investments in our e-commerce platform and sales force resources to maintain and expand our customer base.
Pursuing Strategic Acquisitions
We continue to selectively review opportunities to expand within growing niche markets, broaden our product offerings and increase our economies of scale through acquisitions. Our acquisition strategy is focused on product expansion or expanding our position in the current markets in which we operate. We believe this focused approach to acquisitions will allow us to grow at a faster pace than the broader industries in which we do business, and continue to leverage our competitive advantage by utilizing our existing infrastructure, operating expertise and customer relationships. We intend to continue practicing acquisition disciplines and pursuing opportunities for greater expected profitability and cash flow and improved operating efficiencies, such as increased utilization of our manufacturing assets. We believe our acquisition strategy will allow us to both realize increased revenue and cost-saving synergies, and apply our management expertise to improve the operations of acquired entities.
Improving our Cost Structure

We continue to review strategic alternatives for business lines we believe are underperforming or non-strategic to our future operations. Over the past eight years, we have initiated cost savings, restructuring and acquisition integration plans that have included the closure of a significant number of manufacturing facilities throughout our operating platform and a significant number of headcount reductions. We continue to work with our core suppliers to improve all aspects of our purchasing spend and

3



other logistical capabilities as well as to ensure a stable source of supply. We seek to lower costs through more favorable pricing and payment terms, more effective inventory management and improved communications with vendors.
Improving our Capital Structure
We are focused on improving our capital structure through a number of initiatives including working capital improvements, exiting underperforming or non-strategic businesses, and taking advantage of attractive leveraged loan and high yield debt market conditions.
Our Industry

The overall industry for print-related products is highly fragmented with excess capacity. We face price sensitivity and price pressures in many of our businesses. The information set forth below is applicable to the operating environments within our segments.
Raw Materials

The primary materials used in our businesses are paper, ink, film, offset plates, chemicals and cartons, with paper accounting for the majority of total material costs.  We purchase these materials from a number of key suppliers and have not experienced any significant difficulties in obtaining the raw materials necessary for our operations. However, in times of limited supply, we have occasionally experienced minor delays in delivery.  We believe we purchase our materials and supplies at competitive prices, primarily due to the size and scope of our purchasing power; however, many of our businesses experience pricing pressure related to increases in the cost of materials used in the production of our products.

The uncoated free sheet paper market, which is the primary input for our envelope segment and certain other products, experienced supply reductions beginning in the fourth quarter of 2013, and into the first quarter of 2014. As a result, our suppliers announced price increases which became effective for us during our fourth quarter of 2013. We began to pass along these increases, as well as other ancillary raw material cost increases, which we were unable to pass through to our envelope customers over the previous two years, in the fourth quarter of 2013. We believe we have passed along price increases which have more than offset the average year-over-year increase in uncoated free sheet paper prices, as well as the ancillary raw material cost increases from previous years. However, we cannot be assured we will be successful in passing on future price increases, and any increase in price may have an adverse impact on future product demand from our customers.

Patents, Trademarks and Trade Names
Our sales do not materially depend upon any single patent or group of related patents; however, we do market products under a number of trademarks and trade names. We also hold or have rights to use various patents relating to our businesses. Our patents expire between 2016 and 2032 and our trademarks expire between 2015 and 2028.

Seasonality 
Our envelope market and certain segments of the direct mail market have historically experienced seasonality with a higher percentage of volume of products sold to these markets during the fourth quarter of the year, primarily related to holiday purchases.
Our print plants experience seasonal variations. Revenues associated with consumer publications, such as holiday catalogs and automobile brochures tend to be concentrated from July through October. Revenues from annual reports are generally concentrated from February through April. Revenues associated with the educational and scholastic market and promotional materials tend to decline in the summer. As a result of these seasonal variations, some of our print operations operate at or near capacity at certain times throughout the year.
Our general label business has historically experienced a seasonal increase in net sales during the first and second quarters of the year, primarily resulting from the release of our product catalogs to the trade channel customers and our customers’ spring advertising campaigns. Our prescription label business has historically experienced seasonality in net sales due to cold and flu seasons, generally concentrated in the fourth and first quarters of the year. As a result of these seasonal variations, some of our label operations operate at or near capacity at certain times throughout the year. Our packaging business has not historically experienced seasonal variations.

Backlog

Backlog generally is not considered a significant factor in our business due to the relatively short delivery periods and frequent inventory turnover many of our businesses experience. Our backlog of customer orders to be produced or shipped was approximately $110.2 million and $119.4 million as of the years ended 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Competition
We compete with a few multi-plant and many single-plant companies which primarily service regional and local markets in selling our envelope products. We also face competition from alternative sources of communication and information transfer such as electronic mail, the internet, interactive television and electronic retailing. Although these sources of communication and advertising may eliminate some domestic envelope sales in the future, we believe we will experience continued demand for envelope products due to: (i) the ability of our customers to obtain a relatively low-cost information delivery vehicle that may be customized with text, color, graphics and action devices to achieve the desired presentation effect; (ii) the ability of our direct mail customers to penetrate desired markets as a result of the widespread delivery of mail to residences and businesses through the United States Postal Service; and (iii) the ability of our direct mail customers to include return materials inside their mailings. Principal competitive factors in the envelope business are quality, service and price. Although all three factors are equally important, various customers may emphasize one or more over the others.
In selling our commercial print product offerings, we compete with large multinational commercial printing companies, as well as regional and local printers. The commercial printing industry continues to have excess capacity, and is highly competitive in most of our product categories and geographic regions. This excess capacity has resulted in a competitive pricing environment, in which companies have focused on reducing costs in order to preserve operating margins. Competition is based largely on price, quality and servicing the special requirements of customers. We believe this environment, combined with recent economic trends, will continue to lead to more consolidation within the commercial print industry as companies seek economies of scale, broader customer relationships, geographic coverage and product breadth to overcome or offset excess industry capacity and pricing pressures.
In selling our printed labels products, we compete with other label manufacturers with nationwide locations as well as regional and local printers that typically sell within a few hundred mile radius of their plants. Printed labels competition is based mainly on quick-turn customization, quality of products and customer service levels.
Employees
We employed approximately 8,100 people worldwide as of the year ended 2014, approximately 23% of whom were members of various local labor unions. Collective bargaining agreements, each of which cover the workers at a particular facility, expire from time to time and are negotiated separately. Accordingly, we believe no single collective bargaining agreement is material to our operations as a whole.
Environmental Regulations
Our operations are subject to federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations, including those relating to air emissions, waste generation, handling, management and disposal, and remediation of contaminated sites. We have implemented environmental programs designed to ensure that we operate in compliance with the applicable laws and regulations governing environmental protection. We believe we are in substantial compliance with applicable laws and regulations relating to environmental protection, and we do not anticipate material capital expenditures will be required to achieve or maintain compliance with environmental laws and regulations. However, there can be no assurance newly discovered conditions, or new laws and regulations or stricter interpretations of existing laws and regulations, will not result in increased compliance or remediation costs.

Item 1A.   Risk Factors
Many factors which affect our business and operations involve risks and uncertainties. The factors described below are some of the risks that could materially harm our business, financial conditions, results of operations or prospects.
The recent United States and global economic conditions have adversely affected us and could continue to do so.
The current United States and global economic conditions have affected and, most likely, will continue to affect our results of operations and financial position. A significant part of our business relies on our customers’ printing spend. The prolonged downturn in the United States and global economies and an uncertain economic outlook has reduced the demand for printed materials and related offerings that we provide our customers. Consequently, the reductions and delays in our customers’ spending have adversely impacted and could continue to adversely impact our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. We believe the extended economic uncertainty will continue to impact our operating results.
Our substantial level of indebtedness could impair our financial condition, and prevent us from fulfilling our business obligations.
We currently have a substantial amount of debt, which requires significant principal and interest payments.  As of our year ended 2014, our total indebtedness was approximately $1.2 billion.  Our level of indebtedness could affect our future operations, for example by:
requiring a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on indebtedness instead of funding working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other business purposes;
making it more difficult for us to satisfy all of our debt obligations, thereby increasing the risk of triggering a cross-default provision;
increasing our vulnerability to economic downturns or other adverse developments relative to less leveraged competitors;
limiting our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other corporate purposes in the future; and
increasing our cost of borrowing to satisfy business needs.
We may be unable to service or refinance our debt.
Our ability to make scheduled payments on, or to reduce or refinance, our indebtedness will depend on our future financial and operating performance, and prevailing market conditions. Our future performance will be affected by the impact of general economic, financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control, including the availability of financing in bank and capital markets. We cannot be certain our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations in an amount necessary to service our debt.  If we are unable to meet our debt obligations or to fund our other liquidity needs, we may be required to restructure or refinance all, or a portion of, our debt to avoid defaulting on our debt obligations or to meet other business needs.  Such a refinancing of our indebtedness could result in higher interest rates, could require us to comply with more onerous covenants further restricting our business operations, could be restricted by another one of our debt instruments outstanding, or refinancing opportunities may not be available at all.
The terms of our indebtedness impose significant restrictions on our operating and financial flexibility.
The agreements governing our principal debt obligations contain various covenants which limit our ability to, among other things:
incur or guarantee additional indebtedness;
make restricted payments, including dividends and prepaying indebtedness;
create or permit certain liens;
enter into business combinations and asset sale transactions;
make investments, including capital expenditures;
amend organizational documents and change accounting methods;
enter into transactions with affiliates; and,
enter into new businesses.

These restrictions could limit our ability to obtain future financing, make acquisitions or incur needed capital expenditures, withstand a future downturn in our business or the economy in general, conduct operations or otherwise take advantage of business opportunities which may arise. Our senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility also contains a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio which, under certain circumstances, we must comply with on a quarterly basis. Our ability to meet such fixed charge coverage ratio may be affected by events beyond our control, such as further deterioration in general economic conditions. We are also required to provide certain financial information on a quarterly basis. Our failure to maintain the fixed charge coverage ratio or effective internal controls could, in certain circumstances, prevent us from borrowing additional amounts, and could result in a default under our senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility. A default could cause the indebtedness outstanding under the senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility, and, by reason of cross-acceleration or cross-default provisions, the junior priority secured notes, the senior priority secured notes, the senior notes and the senior exchangeable notes, and any other indebtedness we may then have, to become immediately due and payable. If we are unable to repay those amounts, the lenders under our senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility, junior priority secured notes indenture and senior priority secured notes indenture could initiate a bankruptcy or liquidation proceeding, or proceed against the collateral granted to them which secures that indebtedness. If the lenders under our senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility agreement, junior priority secured notes indenture and/or senior priority secured notes indenture were to accelerate the repayment of outstanding borrowings, we might not have sufficient assets to repay our indebtedness.
There are additional borrowings available to us which could further exacerbate our risk exposure from debt.
Despite current indebtedness levels, we may incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future. Our junior priority secured notes indenture, senior priority secured notes indenture, senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility, senior notes indenture and our other debt instruments limit, but do not prohibit, us from incurring additional debt. If we incur additional debt above our current outstanding levels, the risks associated with our substantial leverage would increase.
To the extent we make select acquisitions, we may not be able to successfully integrate the acquired businesses into our business.
In the past, we have grown rapidly through acquisitions. We intend to continue to pursue select acquisition opportunities within our core and niche businesses.  To the extent we seek to pursue additional acquisitions, we cannot be certain target businesses will be available on favorable terms or that, if we are able to acquire businesses on favorable terms, we will be able to successfully integrate or profitably manage them.  Successfully integrating an acquisition involves minimizing disruptions and efficiently managing substantial changes, some of which may be beyond our control. An acquisition always carries the risk that such changes, including facility and equipment location, management and employee base, policies, philosophies and procedures, could have unanticipated effects, could require more resources than intended and could cause customers to temporarily or permanently seek alternate suppliers.  A failure to realize acquisition synergies and savings could negatively impact the results of both our acquired and existing operations.
A decline in our consolidated profitability or profitability within one of our individual reporting units could result in the impairment of assets, including goodwill and other long-lived assets.
We have material amounts of goodwill and other long-lived assets on our consolidated balance sheet. A decline in expected profitability, particularly the impact of an extended uncertainty in the United States and global economies, could call into question the recoverability of our related goodwill and other long-lived assets and require us to write down or write-off these assets.
The industries in which we operate our business are highly competitive and extremely fragmented.
The industries in which we compete are highly competitive and extremely fragmented. In the envelope market, we compete primarily with a few multi-plant and many single-plant companies servicing regional and local markets. In the commercial printing market, we compete against a few large, diversified and financially stronger printing companies, as well as smaller regional and local commercial printers, many of which are capable of competing with us on volume, price and production quality.  We believe there currently is excess capacity in the industries in which we operate, which has resulted in substantial price competition which may continue as customers put product work out for competitive bid.  We are constantly seeking ways to reduce our costs, become more efficient and attract customers.  We cannot, however, be certain these efforts will be successful or our competitors will not be more successful in their similar efforts.  If we fail to reduce costs and increase productivity, or to meet customer demand for new value-added products, services or technologies, we may face decreased revenues and profit margins in markets where we encounter price competition, which in turn could reduce our cash flow and profitability.
The printing business we compete in generally does not have long-term customer agreements, and our printing operations may be subject to quarterly and cyclical fluctuations.

9



The printing industry in which we compete is generally characterized by individual orders from customers or short-term contracts.  A significant portion of our customers are not contractually obligated to purchase products or services from us.  Most customer orders are for specific printing jobs, and repeat business largely depends on our customers’ satisfaction with our work product.  Although our business does not depend on any one customer or group of customers, we cannot be sure that any particular customer will continue to do business with us for any period of time. In addition, the timing of particular jobs or types of jobs at particular times of year may cause significant fluctuations in the operating results of our operations in any given quarter.  We depend to some extent on sales to certain industries, such as the financial services, advertising, pharmaceutical, automotive and office products industries.  To the extent these industries experience downturns, the results of our operations may be adversely affected.
Factors affecting the United States Postal Service can impact demand for our products.
Postal costs are a significant component of many of our customers’ cost structure. Historically, increases in postal rates have resulted in reductions in the volume of mail sent, including direct mail, which is a meaningful portion of our envelope volume. As postal rate increases in the United States are outside our control, we can provide no assurance that any future increases in United States postal rates will not have a negative effect on the level of mail sent or the volume of envelopes purchased.  
Factors other than postal rates which affect the volume of mail sent through the United States postal system may also negatively affect our business. Congress enacted a federal "Do Not Call" registry in response to consumer backlash against telemarketers and is contemplating enacting so-called "anti-spam" legislation in response to consumer complaints about unsolicited e-mail advertisements.  If similar legislation becomes enacted for direct mail advertisers, our business could be adversely affected. Additionally, the United States Postal Service has also indicated the potential need to reduce delivery days from six to five.  We can provide no assurance that such a change would not impact our customers’ decisions to use direct mail products, which may in turn cause a decrease in our revenues and profitability; however, we do not expect such an impact.
The availability of the internet and other electronic media may adversely affect our business.
Our business is highly dependent upon the demand for envelopes sent through the mail.  Such demand comes from utility companies, banks and other financial institutions, among other companies.  Our printing business also depends upon demand for printed advertising among other products.  Consumers increasingly use the internet and other electronic media to purchase goods and services, and for other purposes, such as paying bills and obtaining electronic versions of printed product.  The level of acceptance of electronic media by consumers as well as the extent that consumers are replacing traditional printed reading materials with internet hosted media content or e-reading devices is difficult to predict. Advertisers use the internet and other electronic media for targeted campaigns directed at specific electronic user groups.  We cannot be certain the acceleration of the trend towards electronic media will not cause a decrease in the demand for our products.  If demand for our products decreases, our cash flow or profitability could materially decrease.
Increases in paper costs and any decreases in the availability of our raw materials could have a material effect on our business.
Paper costs represent a significant portion of our cost of materials. Changes in paper pricing generally do not affect the operating margins of our commercial printing business, because the transactional nature of the business allows us to pass on most announced increases in paper prices to our customers. However, our ability to pass on increases in paper prices is dependent upon the competitive environment at any given time. Paper pricing also affects the operating margins of our envelope business. We have historically been less successful in immediately passing on such paper price increases due to several factors, including contractual restrictions in certain cases and the inability to quickly update catalog prices in other instances. Moreover, rising paper costs, and their consequent impact on our pricing, could lead to a decrease in demand for our products.
We depend on the availability of paper in manufacturing most of our products.  During periods of tight paper supply, many paper producers allocate shipments of paper based on the historical purchase levels of customers.  In the past, we have occasionally experienced minor delays in delivery.  Any future delay in availability could negatively impact our cash flow and profitability.
We depend on good labor relations.
As of our year ended 2014, we employed approximately 8,100 people worldwide, approximately 23% of whom were members of various local labor unions.  If our unionized employees were to engage in a concerted strike or other work stoppage, or if other employees were to become unionized, we could experience a disruption of operations, higher labor costs or both.  A lengthy strike could result in a material decrease in our cash flow or profitability.


10



Environmental laws may affect our business.
Our operations are subject to federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations, including those relating to air emissions, wastewater discharge, waste generation, handling, management and disposal, and remediation of contaminated sites. Currently unknown environmental conditions or matters at our existing and prior facilities, new laws and regulations, or stricter interpretations of existing laws and regulations could result in increased compliance or remediation costs which, if substantial, could have a material effect on our business or operations in the future.
We are dependent on key management personnel.
Our success will depend to a significant degree on our executive officers and other key management personnel.  We cannot be certain we will be able to retain our executive officers and key personnel, or attract additional qualified management in the future.  In addition, the success of any acquisitions we may pursue may depend, in part, on our ability to retain management personnel of the acquired companies. We do not carry key person insurance on any of our managerial personnel.
Our business could be materially adversely affected by any failure, interruption or security lapse of our information technology systems.
We are increasingly dependent on information technology systems to process transactions, manage inventory, purchase, sell and ship goods on a timely basis and maintain cost-efficient operations. We use information systems to support decision making and to monitor business performance. Our information technology systems depend on global communications providers, telephone systems, hardware, software and other aspects of internet infrastructure which can experience significant system failures and outages.  Our systems are susceptible to outages due to fire, floods, power loss, telecommunications failures and similar events.  Despite the implementation of network security measures, our systems are vulnerable to computer viruses and similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering with our systems.  In addition, cybersecurity threats are evolving and include, but are not limited to, malicious software, attempts to gain unauthorized access to data, denial of service attacks and other electronic security breaches which could lead to disruptions in critical systems, unauthorized release of confidential or otherwise protected information and corruption of data. The occurrence of these or other events could disrupt or damage our information technology systems and inhibit internal operations, the ability to provide customer service or provide management with accurate financial and operational information essential for making decisions at various levels of management.
Item 1B.   Unresolved Staff Comments
None.
Item 2. Properties
We currently occupy 54 manufacturing facilities, primarily in North America, of which 19 are owned and 35 are leased. We also lease our corporate headquarters space in Stamford, Connecticut. We believe we have adequate facilities to conduct our current and future operations.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings

From time to time we may be involved in claims or lawsuits that arise in the ordinary course of business. Accruals for claims or lawsuits have been provided for to the extent losses are deemed probable and estimable. Although the ultimate outcome of these claims or lawsuits cannot be ascertained, on the basis of present information and advice received from counsel, it is our opinion that the disposition or ultimate determination of such claims or lawsuits will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In the case of administrative proceedings related to environmental matters involving governmental authorities, we do not believe that any imposition of monetary damages or fines would be material.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
Not applicable.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, which we refer to as MD&A, should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, which we refer to as the Form 10-K. Cenveo, Inc. and its subsidiaries are referred to herein as “Cenveo,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us.”
Certain statements we make under this Item 7 constitute forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. See Cautionary Statements regarding forward-looking statements in Item 1, and "Risk Factors" in Item 1A.

Introduction and Executive Overview

We are a diversified manufacturing company focused on print-related products. Our broad portfolio of products includes envelope converting, commercial printing, label manufacturing and specialty packaging. We operate a global network of strategically located manufacturing facilities, serving a diverse base of over 100,000 customers.
Our business strategy has been, and continues to be, focused on improving sales performance, pursuing and integrating strategic acquisitions, improving our cost and capital structure, and maintaining reasonable levels of financial flexibility. We believe this strategy has allowed us to diversify our revenue base, maintain our low cost structure and deliver quality product offerings to our customers.

See Part 1, Item 1 of this Form 10-K for a more complete description of our business.
2014 Overview/2015 Outlook
Generally, print-related industries are highly fragmented and extremely competitive due to over-capacity and pricing pressures. We believe these factors, combined with uncertain economic conditions in the United States, will continue to impact our results of operations.
Our current management focus is on the following areas:

Improving Sales Performance

Our sales focus has been, and will continue to be, on our customers’ experience across each of our businesses, ensuring we meet our customers’ demands. We seek to expand our relationship with them through cross-selling initiatives available within our platform. Over the past two years, we have made significant investments to improve our top line performance. These investments include a customer relationship management tool across our entire sales platform, capital investments in our e-commerce platform and incremental headcount. We have been successful in our recruiting efforts focusing on attracting not only talented individuals with experience in our current business lines, but also individuals with experience in complementary industry channels. We expect these focus points will allow us to experience sales stability despite operating in challenging industries and an uncertain economy.

In addition, the uncoated free sheet paper market, which is the primary input for our envelope segment and certain other products, experienced supply reductions beginning in the fourth quarter of 2013, and into the first quarter of 2014. As a result, our suppliers announced price increases which became effective for us during our fourth quarter of 2013. We began to pass along these increases, as well as other ancillary raw material cost increases, which we were unable to pass through to our envelope customers over the previous two years, in the fourth quarter of 2013. We believe we have passed along price increases which have more than offset the average year-over-year increase in uncoated free sheet paper prices, as well as the ancillary raw material cost increases from previous years. However, we cannot be assured we will be successful in passing on future price increases, and any increase in price may have an adverse impact on future product orders from our customers.

Integrating Certain Assets of National

We believe our acquisition and accelerated integration of certain assets of National has provided much needed capacity reductions within the envelope industry. We are substantially complete with the accelerated integration of these assets, which has included the closure and consolidation of nine manufacturing facilities into our existing envelope operations and two new facilities, as of the end of 2014. While the accelerated integration has taken substantially less time than our original plan, it has still taken in excess of a year to complete due to the condition of National’s operating platform and asset base at the time of acquiring these assets out of bankruptcy. As a result of this accelerated integration, we experienced inefficiencies in our operations that we originally

15



anticipated occurring over a longer duration in our initial integration plan. Our 2014 results reflect the impact of this accelerated timeline. We believe this accelerated integration timeline will better position us for 2015 and beyond.

Improving our Cost Structure

We continue to monitor our cost structure as marketplace conditions warrant, and expect to further reduce costs as necessary. We believe our fixed costs have been reduced significantly as we enter 2015 as a result of the facility consolidations related to integrating National with our existing operations and select downsizing of certain commercial print assets. We also continue to focus on strategic investments, capital expenditures and acquisitions in areas that we believe will strengthen our manufacturing platform and product offerings. We continue to review strategic alternatives for business lines we believe are underperforming or non-strategic to our future operations.

Improving our Capital Structure

Since the beginning of 2011, we have been focused on improving our capital structure through a number of initiatives including working capital improvements, exiting underperforming or non-strategic businesses, and taking advantage of attractive leveraged loan and high yield debt market conditions. Since we began this initiative, we have reduced our outstanding debt and weighted average interest rate, despite our continued reinvestments of cash into our businesses via four acquisitions, focused capital expenditures, and incurring over $90 million in transaction costs associated with the improvement of our capital structure.

On June 26, 2014, we issued $540.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.000% senior priority secured notes due 2019, which we refer to as the 6.000% Notes, and $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.500% junior priority secured notes due 2022, which we refer to as the 8.500% Notes. Net proceeds from the 6.000% Notes and 8.500% Notes were used to refinance: (i) the $360 million secured term loan facility, which we refer to as the Term Loan Facility, which at the time had a remaining principal balance of $327.3 million; and (ii) the 8.875% senior second lien notes due 2018, which we refer to as the 8.875% Notes, which at the time had a remaining principal balance of $400.0 million. Additionally, in June 2014, we used cash on hand of $9.4 million to repay in full the remaining principal balance on our unsecured $50.0 million aggregate principal amount term loan due 2017, which we refer to as the Unsecured Term Loan. These transactions resulted in reductions in future cash interest expense, elimination of maintenance covenants within our capital structure and a significant extension of our existing maturities.

The June refinancing provides us greater flexibility to address our higher interest rate debt instruments. Since the completion of the refinancing, we have: (i) extinguished $2.7 million of our 11.5% senior notes due 2017, which we refer to as our 11.5% Notes, during 2014 and an additional $6.0 million in the first quarter of 2015; (ii) exchanged $3.0 million of our $86.3 million 7% senior exchangeable notes due 2017, which we refer to as our 7% Notes, for approximately one million shares of our common stock; and (iii) extinguished $2.0 million of our 8.500% Notes. In 2015, we will use cash flow generated from operations and any proceeds from non-strategic asset sales, to the extent allowable by our indentures, to continue to address our highest interest rate debt instruments.

On January 30, 2015, we entered into Amendment No. 3 to the $230 million asset-based revolving credit facility, which we call the ABL Facility. Among other things, this amendment increased the borrowing capacity by $10 million to $240 million, and increased our flexibility to sell assets and apply the proceeds thereof to prepay our indebtedness. The amendment also generally increased our flexibility to prepay outstanding indebtedness, make acquisitions and other investments, and pay dividends, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.
Acquisitions
    
On September 16, 2013, we acquired certain assets of National. National's accounts receivable and inventory were purchased by unrelated third parties in conjunction with our acquisition. National manufactured and distributed envelope products for the billing, financial, direct mail and office products markets and had approximately 1,600 employees. We believe the acquisition of certain assets of National has enhanced our manufacturing capabilities and reduced capacity in the envelope industry.

On December 31, 2012, we acquired all of the assets of Express Label, which had annual net sales of approximately $5.4 million prior to our acquisition. Express Label is a label business that focuses on food and grocery customers and was acquired to further enhance our label operations.

Discontinued Operations


16



In September of 2013, we completed the sale of Custom Envelope within our envelope segment and received net proceeds of $47.0 million.     During the second quarter of 2013, we decided to exit the San Francisco market and closed a manufacturing facility within our print segment.

In February of 2012, we completed the sale of the Documents Group within our label and packaging segment. Net cash proceeds were approximately $35.5 million. In January of 2012, we completed the sale of our wide-format papers business and received proceeds of approximately $4.7 million.

The operating results of these transactions are reported in discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.

Reportable Segments

We operate three complementary reportable segments: envelope, print, and label and packaging. During the fourth quarter of 2013, we completed a realignment of our segments as a result of a change in management reporting and strategy. Our historical financial statement disclosures have been updated to reflect the segment realignment.

Deferred Taxes

In the fourth quarter of 2013, we recorded a non-cash valuation allowance charge of $40.6 million related to the realizability of our net deferred tax assets due to excess capacity and pricing pressure, combined with the decline in net sales of our print segment during 2013.

In the fourth quarter of 2012, we recorded a non-cash valuation allowance charge of $56.5 million related to the realizability of our net deferred tax assets due to excess capacity and pricing pressure, combined with the decline in net sales of our print segment during 2012.
Goodwill and Intangible Asset Impairments
We did not record any goodwill impairment charges in the years ended 2014, 2013 or 2012.
During the fourth quarter of 2013, we made the decision to retire certain indefinite lived trade names in 2014 as a result of rebranding our print and packaging business lines. Accordingly, based on our evaluation using a relief-from-royalty and other discounted cash flow methodologies, we concluded that those trade name assets were impaired. An impairment charge of $33.4 million was recorded to reduce their carrying value to their estimated fair value. Those trade names were fully amortized during 2014. There were no intangible asset impairments in the years ended 2014 or 2012.

Consolidated Operating Results

This MD&A includes an overview of our consolidated results of operations for 2014, 2013 and 2012 followed by a discussion of the results of operations of each of our reportable segments for the same periods. Our results for the year ended 2014 include the operating results of National and Express Label for a full year. Our results for the year ended 2013 include the operating results of Express Label for a full year. National's results of operations are included in our operating results for the year ended 2013 from September 16, 2013, the date of acquisition. Our results for the year ended 2012 do not include the operating results of National or Express Label.

A summary of our consolidated statements of operations is presented below.  The summary presents reported net sales and operating income (loss).

Net Sales
 
Net sales increased $171.2 million, or 9.6%, in 2014, as compared to 2013, due to higher sales from our envelope segment of $179.6 million and higher sales from our print segment of $4.3 million, offset by lower sales from our label and packaging segment of $12.7 million.
    
Net sales increased $39.5 million, or 2.3%, in 2013, as compared to 2012, due to higher sales of $91.7 million from our envelope segment and higher sales of $3.7 million from our label and packaging segment, offset by lower sales from our print segment of $55.9 million.

See Segment Operations below for a detailed discussion of the primary factors affecting the change in our net sales by reportable segment.

Operating Income

Operating income increased $14.4 million, or 49.0%, in 2014, as compared to 2013. This increase was due to: (i) an increase in operating income from our print segment of $25.2 million; and (ii) an increase in operating income from our label and packaging segment of $4.4 million, partially offset by: (i) a decrease in operating income from our envelope segment of $10.2 million; and (ii) higher corporate expenses of $5.0 million.

Operating income decreased $71.8 million, or 71.0%, in 2013, as compared to 2012. This decrease was due to: (i) a decrease in operating income from our print segment of $38.9 million; (ii) a decrease in operating income from our label and packaging segment of $22.0 million; (iii) a decrease in operating income from our envelope segment of $5.7 million; and (iv) higher corporate expenses of $5.2 million.

See Segment Operations below for a more detailed discussion of the primary factors for the changes in operating income by reportable segment.

Gain on Bargain Purchase

                During 2013, in connection with the acquisition of certain assets of National, we recognized a bargain purchase gain of approximately $17.3 million.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased $5.9 million to $106.8 million in 2014, as compared to $112.7 million in 2013. The decrease was primarily due to a lower weighted average interest rate in 2014 as a result of: (i) the debt refinancings in the second quarters of 2013 and 2014; and (ii) principal repayments made on our Unsecured Term Loan, and on our Term Loan Facility, since the first quarter of 2013 using cash flow from operations and proceeds from the sale of Custom Envelope. Interest expense in 2014 reflected average outstanding debt of approximately $1.2 billion and a weighted average interest rate of 7.6%, compared to the average outstanding debt of approximately $1.2 billion and a weighted average interest rate of 8.2% in 2013.

Interest expense decreased $2.1 million to $112.7 million in 2013, as compared to $114.8 million in 2012. The decrease was primarily due to lower average outstanding debt balances primarily as a result of debt repayments using cash flow from operations and the proceeds from the sale of Custom Envelope, as well as lower interest rates on our revolver borrowings as a result of our refinancing of debt in the second quarter of 2013. Interest expense in 2013 reflected average outstanding debt of approximately $1.2 billion and a weighted average interest rate of 8.2%, compared to the average outstanding debt of approximately $1.3 billion and a weighted average interest rate of 8.2% in 2012.

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt

During the year ended 2014, we recorded a total loss on early extinguishment of debt of $27.4 million. We extinguished a total of $2.7 million of our 11.5% Notes. In connection with these retirements, we recorded a total loss on early extinguishment of debt of $0.1 million. In the fourth quarter of 2014, we extinguished $2.0 million of our 8.500% Notes. In connection with the extinguishment, we recorded a gain on early extinguishment of debt of $0.4 million. In connection with the exchange of $3.0 million of our 7% Notes completed in the third quarter of 2014, we incurred a non-cash induced conversion expense of $1.1 million, which was recorded as a loss on early extinguishment of debt. In the second quarter of 2014, we extinguished our Term Loan Facility and 8.875% Notes. In connection with this extinguishment, we recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $9.0 million, of which $5.8 million related to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs, and $3.2 million related to the write-off of original issuance discount. Additionally, in connection with the issuance of the 6.000% Notes and 8.500% Notes in the second quarter of 2014, we expensed debt issuance costs of $16.5 million, of which $1.6 million related to fees paid to third parties. We also used cash on hand of $9.4 million in the second quarter of 2014 to repay in full the remaining principal balance on the Unsecured Term Loan. In connection with the extinguishment of the Unsecured Term Loan in the second quarter of 2014, we recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $1.0 million, of which $0.6 million related to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs, and $0.4 million related to the write-off of original issuance discount.

During the year ended 2013, we recorded a total loss on early extinguishment of debt of $11.3 million. In connection with the refinancing of our $170 million revolving credit facility due 2014, which we refer to as the Revolving Credit Facility, and our existing term loan B due 2016, which we refer to as Term Loan B, and collectively with the Revolving Credit Facility we refer to as the Refinanced Facility, we recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $6.4 million, of which $4.1 million related to consent fees paid to consenting lenders, $2.1 million related to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and $0.2 million related to the write-off of original issuance discount. We recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $4.0 million related to the extinguishment of $40.0 million of our Unsecured Term Loan, of which $2.2 million related to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and $1.8 million related to the write-off of original issuance discount. In connection with the extinguishment of $28.2 million of our Term Loan Facility, we recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $0.8 million, of which $0.5 million related to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and $0.3 million related to the write-off of original issuance discount.

During 2012, we recorded a total loss on early extinguishment of debt of $12.5 million. In connection with various refinancing activities, we incurred losses on early extinguishment of debt of $14.9 million, of which $11.7 million related to tender and consent fees paid to consenting lenders and $3.2 million related to the write-off of previously unamortized debt issuance costs. The losses on early extinguishment of debt were partially offset by the gains on early extinguishment of debt of $2.4 million related to repurchases of: (i) our 7.875% senior subordinated notes due 2013, which we refer to as the 7.875% Notes; (ii) our 10.5% senior notes due 2016, which we refer to as the 10.5% Notes; and (iii) our 8.375% senior subordinated notes due 2014, which we refer to as the 8.375% Notes, plus in each case accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

Other Income, Net    

During the year ended 2014, we recognized other income, net, of $7.0 million. This is primarily comprised of the receipt of settlement proceeds and the forfeiture of certain benefits in connection with certain litigation arising out of our packaging division.

During the year ended 2013, we recognized other income, net, of $5.6 million. This is primarily comprised of receipts under a gain sharing arrangement, as well as the receipt of an insurance settlement related to a press fire in our label and packaging segment.

During the year ended 2012, we recognized other income, net, of $1.2 million. This is primarily due to a gain on the sale of assets in our envelope segment.

Income Tax Expense

In 2014, we had an income tax expense of $2.8 million and our effective tax rate in 2014 differed from the federal statutory rate primarily as a result of having a full valuation allowance related to our net deferred tax assets. We do not believe our unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly in the next twelve months.
In 2013, we had an income tax expense of $13.8 million and our effective tax rate during 2013 differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to a non-cash valuation allowance charge related to our net deferred tax assets.
In 2012, we had an income tax expense of $55.7 million. Our effective tax rate during 2012 differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to a non-cash valuation allowance charge related to our net deferred tax assets. 

Valuation Allowance
We review the likelihood that we will realize the benefit of our deferred tax assets and therefore the need for valuation allowances on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if events indicate that a review is required. In determining the requirement for a valuation allowance, the historical and projected financial results of the legal entity or consolidated group recording the net deferred tax asset is considered, along with all other available positive and negative evidence. The factors considered in our determination of the probability of the realization of the deferred tax assets include, but are not limited to: recent historical financial results, historical taxable income, projected future taxable income, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences, the duration of statutory carryforward periods and tax planning strategies. If, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded.
Concluding that a valuation allowance is not required is difficult when there is significant negative evidence which is objective and verifiable, such as cumulative losses in recent years. We utilize a rolling twelve quarters of pre-tax income or loss adjusted for significant permanent book to tax differences as a measure of our cumulative results in recent years. In the United States, our analysis indicates that we have cumulative three year historical losses on this basis. While there are significant impairment, restructuring and refinancing charges driving our cumulative three year loss, this is considered significant negative evidence which is objective and verifiable and therefore, difficult to overcome. However, the three year loss position is not solely determinative and accordingly, we consider all other available positive and negative evidence in our analysis. Based upon our analysis, which incorporated the excess capacity and pricing pressure we have experienced in certain of our product lines, along with the recent decline in net sales and profitability from our print segment during 2013, we believe it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets in the United States will not be fully realized in the future. Accordingly, we have a valuation allowance related to those net deferred tax assets of $135.4 million as of the year ended 2014. Deferred tax assets related to certain state net operating losses and foreign tax credit carryforwards also did not reach the more likely than not realizability criteria and accordingly, were subject to a valuation allowance. As of the year ended 2014, our valuation allowance related to these state net operating losses and foreign tax credit carryforwards was $24.7 million.
There is no corresponding income tax benefit recognized with respect to losses incurred and no corresponding income tax expense recognized with respect to earnings generated in jurisdictions with a valuation allowance. This causes variability in our effective tax rate. We intend to maintain the valuation allowances until it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be realized. If operating results improve on a sustained basis, or if certain tax planning strategies are implemented, our conclusions regarding the need for valuation allowances could change, resulting in the reversal of the valuation allowances in the future, which could have a significant impact on income tax expense in the period recognized and subsequent periods.
Income from Discontinued Operations, net of taxes
As a result of exploring opportunities to divest certain non-strategic or underperforming businesses within our manufacturing platform, we decided to exit the San Francisco market and closed a manufacturing facility within the print segment

21


in the second quarter of 2013. Additionally, in the third quarter of 2013, we completed the sale of Custom Envelope within our envelope segment. The results of operations and cash flows of these businesses are reflected within discontinued operations for all periods presented herein, including the related tax effects. The results within income from discontinued operations in prior periods also contain the results from the Documents Group and our wide-format papers business sold in 2012.
During 2014, income from discontinued operations was $2.5 million, primarily comprised of a $2.5 million gain related to the sale of Custom Envelope. There was no tax expense or benefit recognized on the gain on sale of discontinued operations recorded in 2014.
During 2013, income from discontinued operations was $16.7 million, which includes: (i) the gain on the sale of Custom Envelope of $14.9 million, net of tax expense of $10.7 million; (ii) income from operations related to Custom Envelope of $4.0 million, net of tax expense of $2.7 million; and (iii) a loss from operations related to San Francisco of $2.2 million, net of a tax benefit of $0.1 million.
During 2012, income from discontinued operations was $0.6 million, which included a loss on sale of previous divestitures of $6.3 million, net of a tax benefit of $2.6 million. The loss was offset by income from operations of our discontinued operations of $6.9 million, net of tax expense of $4.4 million, which includes the reduction of a liability of $1.8 million, net of tax expense of $1.2 million, due to the expiration of certain statutes of limitations related to a previous divestiture.

Segment Net Sales
 
Segment net sales for our envelope segment increased $179.6 million, or 24.0%, in 2014, as compared to 2013. Net sales for our envelope operations increased primarily due to: (i) sales generated from the integration of certain assets of National with our operations, as National was only included in our 2013 results beginning on September 16, 2013, the date of acquisition; (ii) higher sales revenues due to our ability to pass along paper price increases to certain customers; and (iii) increased demand from certain direct mail customers, primarily financial institutions. These increases were partially offset by volume declines associated with the closure and consolidation of several envelope facilities over the last twelve months related to the integration of National with our existing operations and two new facilities.

Segment net sales for our envelope segment increased $91.7 million, or 13.9%, in 2013, as compared to 2012. Net sales for our envelope operations increased primarily due to: (i) sales generated from the integration of certain assets of National into our operations, including the impact of work transitioned from our existing operations to National, as National was not included in our 2012 results; (ii) increased demand from certain direct mail customers, primarily financial institutions; and (iii) higher sales volumes from our initiatives to obtain further market share within our more generic envelope products. These increases were partially offset by: (i) lower sales volumes from our office products customers related to our decision to exit certain low margin business; and (ii) lower average selling prices due to our initiatives to gain market share as well as continued pricing pressures.

Segment Operating Income

Segment operating income for our envelope segment decreased $10.2 million, or 25.6%, in 2014, as compared to 2013. This decrease was primarily due to: (i) higher restructuring and other charges of $8.7 million, primarily due to the closure and consolidation of several envelope facilities related to the integration of National with our existing operations and two new facilities;

22


and (ii) higher selling, general and administrative expenses of $5.2 million in 2014 as compared to 2013, primarily due to higher commission expense from increased sales, expenses related to the integration of certain assets of National with our operations, and incremental expenses of National, as National was only included in our 2013 results beginning on September 16, 2013, the date of acquisition. This decrease was partially offset by higher gross margin of $3.8 million in 2014 as compared to 2013, primarily due to: (i) increased sales volumes from the integration of certain assets of National with our operations, as National was only included in our 2013 results beginning on September 16, 2013, the date of acquisition; and (ii) our ability to pass along paper price increases to certain customers, and changes in product mix.

Segment operating income for our envelope segment decreased $5.7 million, or 12.6%, in 2013, as compared to 2012. This decrease was primarily due to higher selling, general and administrative expenses of $13.5 million, of which $7.5 million were acquisition-related costs, primarily due to National, as National was only included in our 2013 results beginning on September 16, 2013, the date of acquisition. The decrease was partially offset by: (i) higher gross margin of $7.1 million, which was primarily due to increased sales volumes; and (ii) lower restructuring and other charges of $0.7 million, primarily due to the closure and consolidation of two envelope plants into our existing operations in the first quarter of 2012.

Segment Net Sales
 
Segment net sales for our print segment increased $4.3 million, or 0.8%, in 2014, as compared to 2013. The increase was primarily due to: (i) increased demand from our media and telecommunications customers; and (ii) several new account wins. These increases were partially offset by sales declines due to: (i) the closure of two print facilities since the second quarter of 2013; (ii) lower demand from our managed care customers; and (iii) lower demand for journals and periodicals.

Segment net sales for our print segment decreased $55.9 million, or 9.5%, in 2013, as compared to 2012. The decline was primarily due to: (i) lower sales volumes due to lower demand in the commercial print and publishing industries; and (ii) lower sales due to pricing pressures which continue to exist in the printing industry.

Segment Operating Income

Segment operating income for our print segment increased $25.2 million, or 417.6%, in 2014, as compared to 2013. This increase was primarily due to: (i) an intangible asset impairment of $24.5 million in 2013 as a result of rebranding our print business lines; (ii) higher gross margin of $1.7 million, related to increased sales volumes and previously enacted cost reduction actions; and (iii) lower restructuring and other charges of $1.2 million. These increases were partially offset by: (i) higher amortization expense of $1.5 million related to the accelerated retirement of certain trade names; and (ii) increased selling, general and administrative expenses of $0.7 million, driven by higher sales.

Segment operating income for our print segment decreased $38.9 million, or 118.4%, in 2013, as compared to 2012. This decrease was primarily due to: (i) an intangible asset impairment of $24.5 million in 2013 as a result of rebranding our print business lines; and (ii) lower gross margin of $24.9 million, which was primarily due to lower sales volumes and higher input costs from our commercial printing operations. These decreases were partially offset by lower restructuring and other charges of $13.8 million which was primarily due to the closure and consolidation of a print plant in the first quarter of 2012, and no similar events in 2013.

Segment Net Sales

Segment net sales for our label and packaging segment decreased $12.7 million, or 2.5%, in 2014, as compared to 2013. Net sales from our label operations declined $13.4 million, primarily due to: (i) volume declines from our retail customers due to our decision to exit lower margin business; and (ii) our decision to exit our dry gum product line within our specialty papers business. These decreases were partially offset by volume increases in our prescription and overnight packaging label businesses, as well as organic sales growth in our custom labels business. Net sales from our packaging operations increased $0.7 million primarily due to increased sales volumes from new customers, partially offset by lower pricing due to product mix.

Segment net sales for our label and packaging segment increased $3.7 million, or 0.7%, in 2013, as compared to 2012. Net sales from our label operations increased $5.7 million, primarily due to: (i) the acquisition of Express Label in the first quarter of 2013, as Express Label was not included in our 2012 results; and (ii) higher sales from our ability to pass along price increases within our specialty and custom products business to cover higher raw material input costs. These increases were offset in part by lower sales volumes from our short-run and long-run label businesses due to lower customer demand. Net sales from our packaging operations decreased $2.0 million primarily due to lower sales volumes and a disruption due to a press fire.

Segment Operating Income

Segment operating income for our label and packaging segment increased $4.4 million, or 13.4%, in 2014, as compared to 2013. This increase was primarily due to an $8.9 million intangible asset impairment in 2013 in our packaging operations as a result of rebranding our packaging business lines, partially offset by: (i) higher selling, general and administrative expenses of $2.5 million in 2014, primarily due to our e-commerce and information technology initiatives; and (ii) lower gross margin of $2.3 million in our packaging operations, primarily due to our inability to pass certain raw material cost increases onto our customers, and disruptions related to the transition of work from our domestic operations to our international operations.

Segment operating income for our label and packaging segment decreased $22.0 million, or 40.3%, in 2013, as compared to 2012. This decrease was primarily due to: (i) an $8.9 million intangible asset impairment in our packaging operations as a result of rebranding our packaging business lines; (ii) lower gross margins of $8.5 million primarily due to higher input costs; and (iii) higher selling, general and administrative expenses of $5.4 million primarily driven by our e-commerce initiatives. These decreases were offset in part by the integration of Express Label into our existing label operations.

Corporate Expenses

Corporate expenses include the costs of running our corporate headquarters. Corporate expenses increased by $5.0 million, or 13.6%, in 2014, as compared to 2013, primarily due to costs associated with the integration of National, as well as higher restructuring and other charges. Corporate expenses increased by $5.2 million, or 16.4%, in 2013, as compared to 2012, primarily due to lower vendor related discounts of $2.9 million and higher restructuring and other charges.

Restructuring and Other Charges

Restructuring

We currently have three active cost savings, restructuring and integration plans: (i) two plans related to the implementation of cost savings initiatives focused on overhead cost eliminations including headcount reductions and the potential closure of certain manufacturing facilities, which we refer to as the 2014 Plan and the 2013 Plan; and (ii) the plan related to the integration of certain assets of National into our existing envelope operations, which we refer to as the National Plan.

24



During 2014, we implemented the 2014 Plan, which was primarily focused on overhead cost eliminations, including headcount reductions and the potential closure of certain manufacturing facilities. Additionally, during 2014, we continued implementing the 2013 Plan, which was also primarily focused on overhead cost eliminations, including headcount reductions and the potential closure of certain manufacturing facilities. We also continued implementing our plan to integrate certain assets of National, acquired in the third quarter of 2013, by substantially completing the closure and consolidation of nine manufacturing facilities into our existing envelope operations and two new facilities, as of the end of 2014.

During 2013, we completed the integration of our acquisition of Envelope Product Group, which we refer to as EPG, with the closure and consolidation of an envelope facility. We also implemented additional cost savings actions in the first quarter of 2013, which were focused on overhead cost elimination, including targeted headcount reductions of approximately 400 employees and the closure of certain manufacturing facilities.

We currently have certain residual cost savings, restructuring and integration plans, which we refer to as the Residual Plans. As a result of these cost savings actions, over the last nine years we have closed or consolidated a significant amount of manufacturing facilities and have had a significant number of headcount reductions. We do not anticipate any significant future expenses related to the Residual Plans, other than modifications to its current assumptions for lease terminations, multi-employer pension withdrawal liabilities and ongoing expenses related to maintaining restructured assets.

During 2014, as a result of our restructuring and integration activities, we incurred $22.5 million of restructuring and other charges, which included $8.1 million of employee separation costs, $2.0 million of net non-cash charges on long-lived assets, equipment moving expenses of $3.4 million, lease termination expenses of $2.2 million, multi-employer pension withdrawal expenses of $1.3 million and building clean-up and other expenses of $5.5 million.

During 2013, as a result of our restructuring and integration activities, we incurred $13.1 million of restructuring and other charges, which included $6.5 million of employee separation costs, $1.3 million of net non-cash charges on long-lived assets, equipment moving expenses of $1.5 million, lease termination expenses of $1.1 million, multi-employer pension withdrawal expenses of $0.5 million and building clean-up and other expenses of $2.3 million.

During 2012, as a result of our restructuring and integration activities, we incurred $27.1 million of restructuring and other charges, which included $7.6 million of employee separation costs, $8.4 million of net non-cash charges on long-lived assets, equipment moving expenses of $1.1 million, lease termination expenses of $1.2 million, multi-employer pension withdrawal expenses of $5.1 million and building clean-up and other expenses of $3.8 million.

As of December 27, 2014, our total restructuring liability was $22.2 million, of which $5.2 million is included in other current liabilities, and $17.0 million, which is expected to be paid through 2032, is included in other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet. Our multi-employer pension withdrawal liabilities are $18.7 million of our remaining restructuring liabilities. We believe these liabilities represent our anticipated ultimate withdrawal liabilities; however, we are exposed to significant risks and uncertainties arising from our participation in these multi-employer pension plans. It is not possible to quantify the potential impact of our future actions or the future actions of other participating employers from the multi-employer pension plans for which we have exited. Our anticipated ultimate withdrawal liabilities may be significantly impacted in the future due to lower future contributions or increased withdrawals from other participating employers.
 
Goodwill and Intangible Asset Impairments

There were no goodwill impairments recorded in 2014, 2013 or 2012.

During the fourth quarter of 2013, we made the decision that certain trade names would be retired in 2014 as a result of rebranding our print and packaging business lines. Accordingly, based on our evaluation using a relief-from-royalty and other discounted cash flow methodologies, we concluded those trade name assets were impaired. An impairment charge of $33.4 million was recorded to reduce the carrying value of these assets to their estimated fair values. Those trade names were fully amortized during 2014. There were no intangible asset impairments in the years ended 2014 or 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided By Operating Activities of Continuing Operations: Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was $25.8 million in 2014, which was primarily due to: (i) our net loss adjusted for non-cash items of $36.6 million; and (ii) a source of cash of $8.8 million from working capital. This was partially offset by pension and other postretirement plan contributions of $14.0 million. The source of working capital primarily resulted from a decline in inventories due to various inventory management initiatives.

Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was $22.3 million in 2013, which was primarily due to: (i) net loss adjusted for non-cash items of $39.1 million; (ii) pension and other postretirement plan contributions, net of expense, of $12.8 million; and (iii) a use of cash of $1.6 million from working capital. The use of working capital primarily related to the building of working capital associated with the acquisition of certain assets of National, substantially offset by our legacy working capital initiatives.

Cash provided by operating activities is generally sufficient to meet daily disbursement needs. On days when our cash receipts exceed disbursements, we reduce our revolving credit balance or place excess funds in conservative, short-term investments until there is an opportunity to pay down debt. On days when our cash disbursements exceed cash receipts, we use invested cash balances and/or our revolving credit to fund the difference. As a result, our daily revolving credit balance fluctuates depending on working capital needs.  Regardless, at all times we believe we have sufficient liquidity available to us to fund our cash needs.

Net Cash (Used In) Provided By Operating Activities of Discontinued Operations: Represents the net cash (used in) provided by operating activities of our Discontinued Operations.
Net Cash Used In Investing Activities of Continuing Operations: Net cash used in investing activities of continuing operations was $35.5 million in 2014, primarily resulting from: (i) capital expenditures of $37.2 million; and (ii) the purchase of an investment of $2.0 million. These uses of cash were partially offset by proceeds received from the sale of property, plant and equipment of $3.8 million.

Net cash used in investing activities of continuing operations was $52.7 million in 2013, primarily resulting from: (i) $33.2 million of cash consideration paid for the acquisition of Express Label and certain assets of National; (ii) capital expenditures of $29.2 million; and (iii) a cash investment of $1.7 million. These uses of cash were partially offset by: (i) proceeds received from the sale of property, plant and equipment of $8.3 million; and (ii) proceeds received from an insurance claim of $3.0 million as a result of a fire that destroyed a press in our label and packaging segment.

Our debt agreements limit capital expenditures to $45.0 million in 2015 plus any proceeds received from the sale of property, plant and equipment and, if certain conditions are satisfied, any unused permitted amounts from 2014. We estimate that we will spend approximately $30.0 million on capital expenditures in 2015, after considering proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment. Our primary sources for our capital expenditures are cash generated from operations, proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment, and financing capacity within our current debt arrangements. These sources of funding are consistent with prior years’ funding of our capital expenditures.
Net Cash Provided By Investing Activities of Discontinued Operations: Represents the net cash provided by our Discontinued Operations related to investing activities. In 2014, the cash provided by investing activities of discontinued operations of $2.2 million is comprised of net cash proceeds received in 2014 related to the sale of Custom Envelope.
In 2013, the cash provided by investing activities of discontinued operations of $45.2 million is comprised primarily of net cash proceeds of $44.8 million from the sale of Custom Envelope.

Net Cash Provided By (Used In) Financing Activities of Continuing Operations: Net cash provided by financing activities of continuing operations was $12.5 million in 2014, primarily due to: (i) net borrowings of $13.3 million under our ABL Facility; and (ii) net cash proceeds from the 6.000% Notes and 8.500% Notes and the related refinancing of the Term Loan Facility and 8.875% Notes, after payment of financing-related costs and expenses. These sources of cash were partially offset by: (i) the repayment in full of our Unsecured Term Loan of $10.0 million; (ii) the payment of other long-term debt of $8.5 million; and (iii) the extinguishment of $2.7 million of our 11.5% Notes, and $2.0 million of our 8.500% Notes.

Net cash used in financing activities of continuing operations was $17.6 million in 2013, primarily due to: (i) the repayment of our Term Loan B of $388.2 million; (ii) the repayment of our 7.875% Notes of $67.8 million; (iii) the repayment of our Unsecured Term Loan of $40.0 million; (iv) the repayment of our Term Loan Facility of $30.9 million; (v) $18.0 million in repayments of our Revolving Credit Facility; (vi) the payment of $15.6 million of financing-related costs and expenses; and (vii) the repayment

26


of other long-term debt of $7.3 million. These uses of cash were partially offset by: (i) proceeds from the issuance of the $360 million secured term loan facility; (ii) net borrowings of $121.4 million under our ABL Facility; (iii) proceeds from the issuance of our Unsecured Term Loan of $50.0 million; and (iv) proceeds from the issuance of an equipment loan of $20.0 million in connection with the acquisition of certain assets of National.

 ________________________
(1)
Includes $397.7 million of estimated interest expense over the term of our long-term debt, with variable rate debt having an average interest rate of approximately 3.9%.
(2)
Includes projected 2015 pension contributions of $4.6 million, anticipated benefit payments related to other postretirement benefit plans of $17.8 million, anticipated worker’s compensation paid losses of $12.2 million, restructuring-related liabilities of $49.1 million, including interest expense on lease terminations and multi-employer pension withdrawal liabilities. Excluded from the table are $4.8 million of income tax contingencies as we are unable to reasonably estimate the ultimate amount payable or timing of settlement.

Long-Term Debt: Our total outstanding long-term debt, including current maturities, was approximately $1.2 billion as of December 27, 2014, an increase of $48.8 million from December 28, 2013. This increase was primarily due to the issuance of the 6.000% Notes and 8.500% Notes and the related refinancings, as well as net borrowings of $13.3 million under our ABL Facility during 2014. As of December 27, 2014, approximately 88% of our debt outstanding was subject to fixed interest rates. As of February 17, 2015, we had approximately $53 million of borrowing availability under our ABL Facility. From time to time, we may refinance our debt obligations as business needs and market conditions warrant.

6.000% Senior Priority Secured Notes

On June 26, 2014, we issued the 6.000% Notes, which were sold to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, and to certain non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933.  The 6.000% Notes were issued at par, pursuant to an indenture, which we refer to as the 6.000% Indenture, among us and the other guarantors party thereto, and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee and collateral agent. We will pay interest on the 6.000% Notes semi-annually, in cash in arrears, on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing on August 1, 2014. The 6.000% Notes have no required principal payments prior to their maturity on August 1, 2019.  The 6.000% Notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by us and substantially all of our existing and future North American subsidiaries (other than Cenveo Corporation). As such, the 6.000% Notes rank pari passu with all of our existing and future senior debt and senior to any of our subordinated debt and effectively junior to our obligations under the ABL Facility (to the extent that the ABL Facility has a first priority perfected security interest in certain of our assets). We may redeem the 6.000% Notes, in whole or in part, on or after February 1, 2019, at a redemption price of 100.0% plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, at any time between August 1, 2017, and February 1, 2019, we may redeem in whole or in part the remaining aggregate principal amount of the notes originally issued at a redemption price of 100% plus accrued and unpaid interest and a "make-whole" premium of not less than 1%. At any time prior to August 1, 2017, we may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes originally issued with the net cash proceeds of certain public equity offerings, at a redemption price of 106.0% plus accrued and unpaid interest. Each holder of the 6.000% Notes has the right to require us to repurchase such holder's notes at a purchase price of 101% of the principal

27


amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, upon the occurrence of certain events specified in the indenture that constitute a change of control. The 6.000% Indenture contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries, to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, make restricted payments (including paying dividends on, redeeming or repurchasing our capital stock), permit restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions or payments, dispose of assets, make investments, grant liens on assets, merge or consolidate or transfer certain assets, and enter into transactions with affiliates. The 6.000% Indenture also contains certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default.

8.500% Junior Priority Secured Notes

Concurrently with the issuance of the 6.000% Notes on June 26, 2014, we issued the 8.500% Notes, which were sold to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. The 8.500% Notes were issued at par, pursuant to an indenture, which we refer to as the 8.500% Indenture, among us and the other guarantors party thereto, and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee and collateral agent. We will pay interest on the 8.500% Notes semi-annually, in cash in arrears, on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing September 15, 2014. The 8.500% Notes have no required principal payments prior to their maturity on September 15, 2022.  The 8.500% Notes are guaranteed on a junior secured basis by us and substantially all of our existing and future North American subsidiaries (other than Cenveo Corporation). As such, the 8.500% Notes rank junior to any senior secured obligations of ours, senior to any existing and future unsecured obligations of ours and senior to all existing and future obligations of ours that are expressly subordinated to the 8.500% Notes. We may redeem the 8.500% Notes, in whole or in part, on or after September 15, 2017, September 15, 2018, September 15, 2019 or September 15, 2020, at redemption prices of 106.375%, 104.250%, 102.125% and 100.00%, respectively, plus accrued and unpaid interest. At any time prior to September 15, 2017, we may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes originally issued with the net cash proceeds of certain public equity offerings, at a redemption price of 108.5% plus accrued and unpaid interest. Each holder of the 8.500% Notes has the right to require us to repurchase such holder's notes at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, upon the occurrence of certain events specified in the indenture that constitute a change of control. The 8.500% Indenture contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries, to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, make restricted payments (including paying dividends on, redeeming or repurchasing our capital stock), permit restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions or payments, dispose of assets, make investments, grant liens on assets, merge or consolidate or transfer certain assets, and enter into transactions with affiliates. The 8.500% Indenture also contains certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default.

Net proceeds of the 6.000% Notes and 8.500% Notes were used to: (i) refinance the Term Loan Facility, which at the time had a remaining principal balance of $327.3 million; (ii) refinance the 8.875% Notes, which at the time had a remaining principal balance of $400.0 million; and (iii) pay related fees, expenses and accrued interest. In connection with the issuance of the 6.000% Notes and the 8.500% Notes, we capitalized debt issuance costs of $14.7 million and $7.1 million, respectively, all of which will be amortized over the life of the 6.000% Notes and the 8.500% Notes.

A portion of the refinancing was accounted for as a modification of debt. As a result, we will continue to amortize a portion of the unamortized debt issuance costs on the 8.875% Notes and Term Loan Facility. The modification resulted in the recording of a discount of $5.9 million on the 6.000% Notes and $2.8 million on the 8.500% Notes.

Additionally, during the second quarter of 2014, we used cash on hand of $9.4 million to repay in full the remaining principal balance on our Unsecured Term Loan.

Note Repurchases

We may from time to time seek to purchase our outstanding notes in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or other means. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.

During the third quarter of 2014, we exchanged $3.0 million of our 7% Notes for approximately one million shares of our common stock. We also extinguished $2.7 million of our 11.5% Notes, and $2.0 million of our 8.500% Notes, during 2014.
Debt Compliance
As of the year ended 2014, we were in compliance with all debt agreement covenants. We anticipate being in compliance with all debt agreements throughout the 2015 fiscal year.

Letters of Credit
 
As of December 27, 2014, we had outstanding letters of credit of approximately $19.9 million related to performance and payment guarantees. Based on our experience with these arrangements, we do not believe any obligations which may arise will be significant.

In June 2014, Moody's Investors Services, which we refer to as Moody's, affirmed our Corporate Rating and the ratings on our 11.5% Notes. Additionally, they rated the 6.000% Notes and 8.500% Notes for the first time. In June 2014, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, which we refer to as Standard & Poor's, affirmed our Corporate Rating and the ratings on our 11.5% Notes, and rated the 6.000% Notes and the 8.500% Notes for the first time. The detail of all current ratings has been provided in the table above.
The terms of our existing debt do not have any rating triggers that impact our funding availability or influence our daily operations, including planned capital expenditures. We do not believe that our current ratings will unduly influence our ability to raise additional capital if and/or when needed. Some of our constituents closely track rating agency actions and would note any raising or lowering of our credit ratings; however, we believe that along with reviewing our credit ratings, additional quantitative and qualitative analysis must be performed to accurately judge our financial condition.
    
We expect our internally generated cash flows and financing available under our ABL Facility will be sufficient to fund our working capital needs for the next twelve months; however, this cannot be assured.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements: We have no off-balance sheet arrangements other than those disclosed on the Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments table.
Critical Accounting Matters
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This requires us to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We evaluate these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis based on historical experience, and various other factors which we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from estimates.
We believe the following represent our more critical estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:
Allowance for Losses on Accounts Receivable: We maintain a valuation allowance based on the expected collectability of our accounts receivable, which requires a considerable amount of judgment in assessing the current credit worthiness of customers and related aging of past due balances. As of the years ended 2014 and 2013, the allowance provided for potentially uncollectible accounts receivable was $5.1 million and $5.4 million, respectively. Charges for bad debts recorded to the statement of operations for the years ended 2014, 2013 and 2012 were $2.2 million, $4.4 million and $2.0 million, respectively. We cannot guarantee that our current credit losses will be consistent with those in the past. These estimates may prove to be inaccurate, in which case we may have overstated or understated the allowance for losses required for uncollectible accounts receivable.
Inventory Valuation: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out or average cost basis. Cost includes materials, labor and overhead related to the purchase and production of inventories. When

29


there is a significant decrease in demand for our products and market price is below cost, we are required to reduce our inventory balances accordingly.
Provision for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: We evaluate long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets other than goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amounts of specific assets or group of assets may not be recoverable. When an evaluation is required, we estimate the future undiscounted cash flows associated with the specific asset or group of assets. If the cost of the asset or group of assets cannot be recovered by these undiscounted cash flows, we would assess the fair value of the asset or asset group and if necessary, an impairment charge would be recorded. Our estimates of future cash flows are based on our experience and internal business plans. Our internal business plans require judgments regarding future economic conditions, product demand and pricing. Although we believe our estimates are appropriate, significant differences in the actual performance of an asset or group of assets may materially affect our evaluation of the recoverability of the asset values currently recorded. Additional impairment charges may be necessary in future years.
Provision for Impairment of Goodwill and Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets: We evaluate the carrying value of our goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets annually at the beginning of December and whenever events or circumstances make it more likely than not an impairment may have occurred. Accounting Standards Codification 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ("ASC 350"), provides us with the option of performing a qualitative assessment, if elected, prior to calculating the fair value of an indefinite lived intangible asset or the fair value of a reporting unit for goodwill under a quantitative approach. If we determine, based on qualitative factors, the fair value of an indefinite lived intangible asset or the fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not to be less than the respective carrying value, a quantitative impairment test would be required to be performed. Otherwise, further impairment testing would not be needed.
ASC 350 prescribes a two-step quantitative method for determining goodwill impairment. In the first step, we compare the estimated fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the estimated fair value, step two is completed to determine the amount of the impairment loss. Step two requires the allocation of the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to the assets, including any unrecognized intangible assets, and liabilities in a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Any remaining unallocated fair value represents the implied fair value of goodwill, which is compared to the corresponding carrying value of goodwill to compute the goodwill impairment amount.
As part of our quantitative impairment analysis for each reporting unit, we estimate the fair value of each reporting unit, primarily using the income approach. The income approach requires management to estimate a number of factors for each reporting unit, including projected future operating results, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, discount rates, and the allocation of shared service or corporate items. The market approach was used as a test of reasonableness of the conclusions reached in the income approach. The market approach estimates fair value using comparable marketplace fair value data from within a comparable industry grouping.
The determination of the fair value of the reporting units and the allocation of that value to individual assets and liabilities within those reporting units requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions primarily include, but are not limited to: the selection of appropriate peer group companies; control premiums appropriate for acquisitions in the industries in which we compete; the discount rate; terminal growth rates; and forecasts of net sales, operating income, depreciation and amortization and capital expenditures. The allocation requires several analyses to determine the fair value of assets and liabilities including, among others, trade names, customer relationships, and property, plant and equipment. Although we believe our estimates of fair value are reasonable, actual financial results could differ from those estimates due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making such estimates. Changes in assumptions concerning future financial results or other underlying assumptions could have a significant impact on either the fair value of the reporting units, the amount of the goodwill impairment charge, or both. We also compared the sum of the estimated fair values of the reporting units to our total enterprise value as implied by the market value of our equity securities. This comparison indicated that, in total, our assumptions and estimates were reasonable. However, future declines in the overall market value of our equity securities may indicate the fair value of one or more reporting units has declined below their carrying value.
In 2014, 2013 and 2012, we elected to bypass the qualitative only assessment and perform quantitative assessments on both goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets. We did not record any goodwill impairment charges in 2014, 2013 or 2012.
One measure of the sensitivity of the amount of goodwill impairment charges to key assumptions is the amount by which each reporting unit had fair value in excess of its carrying amount or had carrying amount in excess of fair value for the first step of the goodwill impairment test. In 2014, the envelope, print and label reporting units had fair value in excess of carrying value, with fair value exceeding carrying value by at least 60%. The packaging reporting unit had fair value in excess of carrying value, with fair value exceeding carrying value by less than 15%. Goodwill allocated to the packaging reporting unit was approximately $8 million as of the year ended 2014. Generally, changes in estimates of expected future cash flows would have a similar effect

30


on the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. That is, a 1% change in estimated future cash flows would decrease the estimated fair value of the reporting unit by approximately 1%. Of the other key assumptions that impact the estimated fair values, most reporting units have the greatest sensitivity to changes in the estimated discount rate. In 2014, the discount rate for each reporting unit was between 9% and 11%. A 100 basis point increase in our estimated discount rates would not have resulted in any reporting units failing step one.
During the fourth quarter of 2013, we made the decision to retire certain trade names in 2014 as a result of rebranding our print and packaging business lines. Accordingly, based on our evaluation using a relief-from-royalty and other discounted cash flow methodologies, we concluded that those trade name assets were impaired. An impairment charge of $33.4 million was recorded to reduce their carrying value to their estimated fair value. Those trade names were fully amortized during 2014. There were no intangible asset impairments in the years ended 2014 or 2012.
Determining whether an impairment of indefinite lived intangible assets has occurred requires an analysis of the fair value of each of the related trade names. However, if our estimates of the valuations of our trade names prove to be inaccurate, an impairment charge could be necessary in future periods.
Our quantitative impairment analysis for trade names utilizes a relief-from-royalty method in which the hypothetical benefits of owning each respective trade name are valued by discounting hypothetical royalty revenue over projected revenues covered by the trade names. We utilized royalty rates of 1.5% to 2.0% for the use of the subject trade names based on comparable market rates, the profitability of the product employing the trade name, and qualitative factors, such as the strength of the name and years in usage. The discount rate utilized was between 11.5% and 12.5%, which was based on the weighted average cost of capital for the respective business plus a premium to account for the relative risks of the subject trade name.

In order to evaluate the sensitivity of the fair value calculations for all of our indefinite lived trade names, we applied hypothetical 5% and 10% decreases to the estimated fair value of our trade names. Such hypothetical decreases in fair value could be due to changes in discount rates and/or assumed royalty rates. These hypothetical 5% and 10% decreases in estimated fair value would not have resulted in any impairment of any of our identifiable indefinite lived trade names.
Self-Insurance Reserves: We are self-insured for the majority of our workers’ compensation and health insurance costs, subject to specific retention levels. We rely on claims experience and the advice of consulting actuaries and administrators in determining an adequate liability for self-insurance claims. While we believe these estimates of our self-insurance liabilities are reasonable, significant differences in our experience or a significant change in any of our assumptions could materially affect the amount of workers’ compensation and healthcare expenses we record on an annual basis.
Our self-insurance workers’ compensation liability is estimated based on reserves for claims which are established by a third-party administrator. The estimate of these reserves is adjusted from time to time to reflect the estimated future development of the claims. Our liability for workers’ compensation claims is the estimated total cost of the claims on a fully-developed and discounted basis which considers anticipated payment patterns. As of the years ended 2014 and 2013, the undiscounted liability was $13.2 million and $12.9 million, respectively, and the discounted liability was $12.2 million and $11.9 million, respectively, using discount rates of 2% for each of the years ended 2014 and 2013.
Our self-insured healthcare liability represents our estimate of claims which have been incurred, but not reported as of the years ended 2014 and 2013. We rely on claims experience and the advice of consulting actuaries to determine an adequate liability for self-insured plans. This liability was $3.3 million as of both of the years ended 2014 and 2013, and was estimated based on an analysis of actuarial completion factors that estimated incurred but unreported liabilities derived from the historical claims experience. The estimate of our liability for employee healthcare represents between 30 and 35 days of unreported claims.
Revenue Recognition: We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product delivery has occurred, pricing is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured, net of rebates earned by customers. Since a significant portion of our products are customer specific, it is common for our customers to inspect the quality of the product at our facilities prior to shipment. Products shipped are not subject to contractual right of return provisions.
Amounts billed for freight costs and sales tax are included in net sales, and the costs of delivering finished goods to customers are recorded as freight costs, and included in cost of sales.
Accounting for Income Taxes: We are required to estimate our income taxes in each jurisdiction in which we operate, which primarily includes the United States, Canada and India. This process involves estimating our actual current tax expense, together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and financial reporting purposes. The tax effects of these temporary differences are recorded as deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. Deferred tax assets generally represent items that can be used as a tax deduction or credit in our tax return in future years for which we have already recorded an expense in our consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax liabilities generally represent tax items that have been

31


deducted for tax purposes, but have not yet been recorded as an expense in our consolidated financial statements. As of the years ended 2014 and 2013, we had net deferred tax liabilities of $36.3 million and $33.8 million, respectively, from our United States operations. As of the years ended 2014 and 2013, we had net deferred tax assets of $0.4 million and net deferred tax liabilities of $1.5 million, respectively, from our foreign operations.
We review the likelihood that we will realize the benefit of our deferred tax assets and therefore the need for valuation allowances on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if events indicate that a review is required. In determining the requirement for a valuation allowance, the historical and projected financial results of the legal entity or consolidated group recording the net deferred tax asset is considered, along with all other available positive and negative evidence. The factors considered in our determination of the probability of the realization of the deferred tax assets include, but are not limited to: recent historical financial results, historical taxable income, projected future taxable income, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences, the duration of statutory carryforward periods and tax planning strategies. If, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded.
Concluding that a valuation allowance is not required is difficult when there is significant negative evidence which is objective and verifiable, such as cumulative losses in recent years. We utilize a rolling twelve quarters of pre-tax income or loss adjusted for significant permanent book to tax differences as a measure of our cumulative results in recent years. In the United States, our analysis indicates that we have cumulative three year historical losses on this basis. While there are significant impairment, restructuring and refinancing charges driving our cumulative three year loss, this is considered significant negative evidence which is objective and verifiable and therefore, difficult to overcome. However, the three year loss position is not solely determinative and accordingly, we consider all other available positive and negative evidence in our analysis. Based upon our analysis, which incorporated the excess capacity and pricing pressure we have experienced in certain of our product lines, along with the recent decline in net sales and profitability from our print segment during 2013, we believe it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets in the United States will not be fully realized in the future. Accordingly, we have a valuation allowance related to those net deferred tax assets of $135.4 million as of the year ended 2014. Deferred tax assets related to certain state net operating losses and foreign tax credit carryforwards also did not reach the more likely than not realizability criteria and accordingly, were subject to a valuation allowance. As of the year ended 2014, our valuation allowance related to these state net operating losses and foreign tax credit carryforwards was $24.7 million.
There is no corresponding income tax benefit recognized with respect to losses incurred and no corresponding income tax expense recognized with respect to earnings generated in jurisdictions with a valuation allowance. This causes variability in our effective tax rate. We intend to maintain the valuation allowances until it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be realized. If operating results improve on a sustained basis, or if certain tax planning strategies are implemented, our conclusions regarding the need for valuation allowances could change, resulting in the reversal of the valuation allowances in the future, which could have a significant impact on income tax expense in the period recognized and subsequent periods.

We recognize a tax position in our consolidated financial statements when it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. This recognized tax position is then measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Although we believe that our estimates are reasonable, the final outcome of uncertain tax positions may be materially different from that which is reflected in our consolidated financial statements. We adjust such reserves upon changes in circumstances that would cause a change to the estimate of the ultimate liability, upon effective settlement or upon the expiration of the statute of limitations, in the period in which such event occurs. During 2014 and 2013, we did not reduce our liabilities for uncertain tax positions.
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans: The valuation of our pension and other postretirement plans requires the use of assumptions and estimates to develop actuarial valuations of expenses, assets and liabilities. Inherent in these valuations are key assumptions, which include discount rate, investment returns and mortality rates. We review our actuarial assumptions on an annual basis and make modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends when it is appropriate to do so. The effects of modifications are recognized immediately on our consolidated balance sheet, but are generally amortized into our consolidated statement of operations over future periods, with the deferred amount recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. We believe that the assumptions utilized in recording our obligations under our plans are reasonable based on our experience, market conditions and input from our actuaries and investment advisers. We select the discount rate to be used for purposes of computing annual service and interest costs based on the Citigroup Pension Liability Index as of our respective year end dates. The weighted average discount rate used to determine the benefit obligation as of the years ended 2014 and 2013 was 3.75% and 4.50%, respectively. A one percentage point decrease in the discount rate at year end 2014 would increase the pension and other postretirement plans’ projected benefit obligation by approximately $54.0 million. A one percentage point increase in the discount rate at the year ended 2014 would decrease the pension and other postretirement plans’ projected benefit obligation by approximately $43.9 million.
    

32


In 2014, we began to allow certain participants in the pension plans the option of settling their vested benefits through the receipt of a lump-sum payment. Lump-sum payments made in 2014 did not meet the criteria to apply settlement accounting. Since settlement via lump-sum payment is dependent on an employee's decision and election, the extent of future settlements and the associated losses may fluctuate significantly.
Our investment objective is to maximize the long-term return on the pension plan assets within prudent levels of risk. Investments are primarily diversified with a blend of equity securities, fixed income securities and alternative investments. Equity investments are diversified by including United States and non-United States stocks, growth stocks, value stocks and stocks of large and small companies. Fixed income securities are primarily United States governmental and corporate bonds, including mutual funds. Alternative investments are primarily private equity hedge funds and hedge fund-of-funds. We consult with our financial advisers on a regular basis regarding our investment objectives and asset performance.
New Accounting Pronouncements: We are required to adopt certain new accounting pronouncements. See Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements.
Commitments and Contingencies: Our business and operations are subject to a number of significant risks, most of which are summarized in our "Risk Factors" in Item 1A, and in Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
We are exposed to market risks such as changes in interest and foreign currency exchange rates, which may adversely affect our results of operations and financial position.

As of December 27, 2014, we had variable rate debt outstanding of $149.2 million. A change of 1% to the current London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) would have a minimal impact to our interest expense.

Our changes in foreign currency exchange rates are managed through normal operating and financing activities. We have foreign operations, primarily in Canada and India, and thus are exposed to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates. For the year ended 2014, a uniform 10% strengthening of the United States dollar relative to the local currency of our foreign operations would have resulted in a decrease in sales of approximately $6.6 million and an increase in operating income of less than $0.1 million, respectively.

Board of Directors and Shareholders
Cenveo, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cenveo, Inc. (a Colorado corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), changes in shareholders’ (deficit) equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 27, 2014. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cenveo, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 27, 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 27, 2014, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated February 18, 2015 expressed an unqualified opinion.

CENVEO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation: The consolidated financial statements include the results of Cenveo, Inc. and its subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
Cenveo, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company" or "Cenveo") are engaged in envelope converting, commercial printing, and the manufacturing of label and specialty packaging products. The Company is headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut, is organized under Colorado law, and its common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "CVO." The Company operates a network of strategically located manufacturing facilities, serving a diverse base of over 100,000 customers. The Company’s operations are based in North America, Latin America and Asia.
The Company’s reporting periods for 2014, 2013 and 2012 in this report each consist of 52 week periods and ended on December 27, 2014, December 28, 2013, and December 29, 2012, respectively. Such periods are referred to herein as: (i) "as of the year ended 2014," "the year ended 2014" or "2014;" (ii) "as of the year ended 2013," "the year ended 2013" or "2013;" and (iii) "as of the year ended 2012," "the year ended 2012" or "2012." All references to years and year-ends herein relate to fiscal years rather than calendar years.
The Company acquired certain assets of National Envelope Corporation ("National") during the third quarter of 2013 and all of the assets of Express Label Company ("Express Label") during the first quarter of 2013. The Company’s results include the operating results of these acquisitions subsequent to their respective acquisition dates.

As a result of exploring opportunities to divest certain non-strategic or underperforming businesses within its manufacturing platform, the Company completed the sale of its Custom Envelope Group ("Custom Envelope") during the third quarter of 2013. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2013, the Company decided to exit the San Francisco market and closed a manufacturing facility. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2011, the financial results of the Company's documents and forms business ("Documents Group") as well as the Company's wide-format papers business have been accounted for as discontinued operations. These businesses were sold in the first quarter of 2012. Collectively, the Company refers to these businesses as the "Discontinued Operations." As a result, the Company's historical consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) ("statement of operations") and statements of cash flows have been reclassified to reflect the Discontinued Operations separately from the Company's continuing operations for all periods presented.

During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company completed a realignment of its reportable segments as a result of a change in management reporting and strategy. The reportable segments were realigned into three complementary reportable segments: the envelope segment, the print segment and the label and packaging segment. Previously, the two reportable segments were print and envelope and label and packaging. Prior year disclosures have been updated to reflect the segment realignment.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to, establishing the allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of inventory, purchase price allocation, depreciation and amortization lives, asset impairment evaluations, deferred tax assets and liabilities, self-insurance accruals, stock-based compensation and other contingencies. Actual results could differ from estimates.
Fair Value Measurements: Certain assets and liabilities of the Company are required to be recorded at fair value. Fair value is determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term debt and accounts payable approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature. The Company also has other assets or liabilities that it records at fair value, such as its pension plan assets. The three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies, is as follows:
 Level 1
Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.
 Level 2
Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
 Level 3
Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include cash on deposit and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with institutions with high credit

40

CENVEO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

quality. However, at certain times, such cash and cash equivalents may be in excess of FDIC insurance limits. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.
Accounts Receivable: Trade accounts receivable are stated net of allowances for doubtful accounts. Specific customer provisions are made when a review of significant outstanding amounts, customer creditworthiness and current economic trends indicate that collection is doubtful. In addition, provisions are made at differing amounts, based upon the balance and age of the receivable and the Company’s historical collection experience. Trade accounts are charged off against the allowance for doubtful accounts or expensed when it is probable the accounts will not be recovered. As of the years ended 2014 and 2013, accounts receivable were reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts of $5.1 million and $5.4 million, respectively. Transactions affecting the allowance for doubtful accounts were as follows (in thousands):

Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost primarily determined on a first-in, first-out or average cost basis. Cost includes materials, labor and overhead related to the purchase and production of inventories.
Property, Plant and Equipment: Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method generally based on the estimated useful lives of 15 to 45 years for buildings and building improvements, 10 to 15 years for machinery and equipment and three to 10 years for furniture and fixtures. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvements. When an asset is retired or otherwise disposed of, the related gross cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the statement of operations. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred, and expenditures that increase the capacity, efficiency or useful lives of existing assets are capitalized.
Computer Software: The Company develops and purchases software for internal use. Software development costs incurred during the application development stage are capitalized. Once the software has been installed, tested and is ready for use, additional costs incurred in connection with the software are expensed as incurred. Capitalized computer software costs are amortized over the estimated useful life of the software, generally between three and seven years. Net computer software costs included in property, plant and equipment were $19.3 million and $10.4 million as of the years ended 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Debt Issuance Costs: Direct expenses such as legal, accounting and underwriting fees incurred to issue, extend or amend debt are included in other assets, net. Debt issuance costs were $25.2 million and $22.8 million as of the years ended 2014 and 2013, respectively, net of accumulated amortization, and are amortized to interest expense over the term of the related debt. Interest expense includes the amortization of debt issuance costs of $9.8 million, $9.4 million and $7.0 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill is not amortized. Goodwill is subject to an annual impairment test and is reviewed annually as of the beginning of December to determine if there is an impairment or more frequently if an indication of possible impairment exists. Impairment testing for goodwill is performed at a reporting unit level, with all goodwill assigned to a reporting unit. The Company's reporting units are the same as its four operating segments. An impairment loss generally would be recognized when the carrying amount of the reporting unit's net assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. No impairment charges for goodwill were recorded in 2014, 2013 or 2012.
Other intangible assets consist primarily of customer relationships and trademarks. Other intangible assets primarily arise from the purchase price allocations of businesses acquired. Intangible assets with determinable lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life assigned to these assets. Intangible assets that are expected to generate cash flows indefinitely are not amortized, but are evaluated for impairment similar to goodwill.
During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company made the decision that certain trade names would be retired in 2014 as a result of rebranding the Company's print and packaging business lines. Accordingly, based on its evaluation using a relief-from-royalty and other discounted cash flow methodologies, the Company concluded those trade name assets were impaired. An

41

CENVEO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

impairment charge of $33.4 million was recorded to reduce their carrying value to their estimated fair value. Those trade names were fully amortized during 2014. There were no intangible asset impairments in the years ended 2014 or 2012.
Long-Lived Assets: Long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets with definite lives, are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be fully recoverable. An impairment is assessed if the undiscounted expected future cash flows generated from an asset are less than its carrying value. Impairment losses are recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of an asset exceeds its fair value (Level 2 and 3). Additionally, the estimated useful lives of all long-lived assets are periodically reviewed and revised, if necessary.
Self-Insurance: The Company is self-insured for the majority of its workers’ compensation costs and health insurance costs, subject to specific retention levels. The Company records its liability for workers’ compensation claims on a fully-developed basis. The Company’s liability for health insurance claims includes an estimate for claims incurred, but not reported. As of the years ended 2014 and 2013, the (i) undiscounted workers' compensation liability was $13.2 million and $12.9 million, respectively, and the discounted liability was $12.2 million and $11.9 million, respectively, using discount rates of 2% for each of the years ended 2014 and 2013, and the (ii) healthcare liability was $3.3 million in both 2014 and 2013.
Pension and Other Postretirement Plans: The Company records expense relating to its pension and other postretirement plans based on actuarial calculations. The inputs for these estimates mainly include discount rates, anticipated mortality rates and assumed rates of return. The Company reviews its actuarial assumptions on an annual basis and modifies the assumptions based on current anticipated rates. The effect of modifications on the value of plan obligations and assets is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") and is recognized in the statement of operations over future periods.
Revenue Recognition: The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product delivery has occurred, pricing is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured, net of rebates earned by customers. Since a significant portion of the Company’s products are customer specific, it is common for customers to inspect the quality of the product at the Company’s facility prior to its shipment. Products shipped are not subject to contractual right of return provisions.
Sales Tax: The Company records sales net of applicable sales tax.
Freight Costs: The costs of delivering finished goods to customers are recorded as freight costs and included in cost of sales. Freight costs that are either billed separately to the customer or included in the price of the product are included in net sales.
Advertising Costs: All advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were $3.5 million, $2.9 million and $2.8 million for 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation: The Company uses the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation. The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model ("Black-Scholes") to measure fair value of these stock option awards. The Black-Scholes model requires the Company to make significant judgments regarding the assumptions used within the model, the most significant of which are the stock price volatility assumption, the expected life of the option award, the risk-free rate of return and dividends during the expected term. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for share-based awards expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award based on their grant date fair value.
Foreign Currency Translation: Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries operating outside the United States with a functional currency other than the United States dollar are translated at year-end exchange rates. The effects of translation are included in shareholders’ deficit. Income and expense items and gains and losses are translated at the average monthly rate. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recorded in other income, net.
Income Taxes: Deferred income taxes reflect the future tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting and are measured by applying statutory tax rates in effect for the year during which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets in the United States will not be realized. The Company has a full valuation allowance related to its net deferred tax assets as of the year ended 2014.

The Company recognizes a tax position in its consolidated financial statements when it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. This recognized tax position is then measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Although the Company believes that its estimates are reasonable, the final outcome of uncertain tax positions may be materially different from that which is recognized in its consolidated financial statements. The Company adjusts such reserves upon changes in circumstances that would

42

CENVEO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

cause a change to the estimate of the ultimate liability, upon effective settlement or upon the expiration of the statute of limitations, in the period in which such event occurs.

New Accounting Pronouncements: In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-11, "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists." This ASU provides guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward exists.  The objective of this ASU is to eliminate diversity in practice related to this topic.  The ASU states that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the consolidated financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward except in certain situations.  The update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2013.  The Company's adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, "Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity." The amendments in the ASU change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations while enhancing related disclosures. The amendments in the ASU are effective in the first quarter of 2015. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2014-08 on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)." The new revenue recognition standard provides a five-step analysis to determine when and how revenue is recognized.  The standard requires that a company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and will be applied retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements.
    
    
2. Acquisitions

The Company accounts for business combinations under the provisions of the Business Combination Topic of the FASB's Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805.  Acquisitions are accounted for by the purchase method, and accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the acquired businesses have been recorded at their estimated fair value on the acquisition date with the excess of the purchase price over their estimated fair value recorded as goodwill. In the event the estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired exceeds the purchase price paid, a bargain purchase gain is recorded in the statement of operations.

Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Acquisition-related costs, including integration costs, are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and were $5.2 million, $8.7 million and $1.5 million for the years ended 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

2013

National Envelope

On September 16, 2013, the Company acquired certain assets of National. National's accounts receivable and inventory were purchased by unrelated third parties in conjunction with the Company's acquisition. National manufactured and distributed envelope products for the wholesale, billing, financial, direct mail and office products markets and had approximately 1,600 employees. The Company believes the acquisition of certain assets of National has enhanced the Company's manufacturing capabilities and reduced capacity in the envelope industry. The purchase price was $34.1 million, of which $6.0 million was Cenveo common stock, and was allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date, and was assigned to the Company's envelope segment. The acquisition of certain assets of National resulted in a bargain purchase gain of approximately $17.3 million, exclusive of $6.8 million of tax expense, which was recognized in the Company's consolidated statement of operations. Prior to the recognition of the bargain purchase gain, the Company reassessed the fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition. The Company believes it was able to acquire those assets of National for less than their fair value due to National's bankruptcy prior to the Company's acquisition. The acquired identifiable intangible asset relates to a leasehold interest with a fair value of $4.4 million, which is being amortized over the remaining lease term of 20 years, which includes renewal periods. The Company finalized the purchase price allocation in the third quarter of 2014 and adjusted the preliminary values allocated to certain assets and liabilities. There were no material adjustments to the purchase price allocation.
National's results of operations and cash flows are included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and cash flows from September 16, 2013. As a result of the Company's integration of certain assets of National into the Company's existing envelope operations, it is impracticable to disclose the amounts of revenues and operating income of National since the acquisition date.

Property, plant and equipment values were estimated based on discussions with machinery and equipment brokers, internal expertise related to the equipment and current marketplace conditions. The value of the leasehold interest acquired was determined based on the present value of the difference between: (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the lease; and (ii) management's estimate of current market lease rates for the corresponding lease, measured over the remaining lease term and renewal periods.
The fair values of property, plant and equipment and the intangible asset acquired from National were determined to be Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy.

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

The following supplemental pro forma consolidated summary financial information of the Company for the year ended 2013 herein have been prepared by adjusting the historical data as set forth in its statement of operations to give effect to the acquisition of certain assets of National as if it had been made as of January 1, 2012 (in thousands, except per share amounts).

The supplemental pro forma consolidated summary financial information is presented for comparative purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of the Company’s actual consolidated results of operations had the acquisition of certain assets of National been consummated as of the beginning of the period noted above, or of the Company’s expected future results of operations. The adjustments related to the supplemental pro forma consolidated summary financial information above include the removal of $7.5 million in acquisition-related expenses incurred during 2013, as well as the removal of a bargain purchase gain of $17.3 million in 2013, and the related $6.8 million of tax expense.

The Company has completed its assessment of the purchase price allocation by identifying and estimating the fair values of tangible and identifiable intangible assets, comprised of a leasehold interest and property, plant and equipment. Pro forma adjustments have been made to depreciation and amortization expense related to these estimated fair values, and to reflect the Company's borrowing rate in the above supplemental pro forma consolidated summary financial information. The pro forma operating results do not include any anticipated synergies related to integrating these assets into the Company's existing operations.

Express Label
On December 31, 2012, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Express Label, which had annual net sales of approximately $5.4 million prior to the acquisition by the Company. The total purchase price was approximately $5.1 million, and was allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at their acquisition date. The Express Label acquisition resulted in $0.1 million of goodwill, all of which is deductible for income tax purposes, and was assigned to the Company's label and packaging segment. The Company believes that the recognized goodwill related to Express Label is due to expected synergies and a reasonable market premium. The acquired identifiable intangible assets relate to: (i) customer relationships of $3.0 million, which are being amortized over their estimated useful life of 10 years; and (ii) a trade name of $0.3 million, which is being amortized over its estimated useful life of 10 years.

Express Label's results of operations and cash flows are included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and cash flows from December 31, 2012. Pro forma results for the year ended 2013, assuming the acquisition of Express Label had been made on January 1, 2012 are not presented in the table above since the effect would not be material.

3. Discontinued Operations

On September 28, 2013, the Company completed the sale of Custom Envelope. The Company received total net cash proceeds of approximately $47.0 million, of which $2.2 million was received in 2014. This resulted in the recognition of a total after-tax gain of $16.5 million, of which $14.9 million was recognized in the year ended 2013. The operating results of Custom Envelope are reported in discontinued operations in the Company's financial statements for all periods presented herein.


45

CENVEO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

During the second quarter of 2013, the Company decided to exit the San Francisco market and closed a manufacturing facility within its print segment. The operating results of this manufacturing facility are reported in discontinued operations in the Company's consolidated financial statements for all periods presented herein.

On February 10, 2012, the Company completed the sale of the Documents Group. Net cash proceeds were approximately $35.5 million. The original sale price of $40.0 million was subject to customary working capital settlement negotiations, which were completed during the third quarter of 2012, pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement. The operating results of the Documents Group are reported in discontinued operations in the Company's consolidated financial statements for all periods presented herein.

Sale Leaseback Transaction
During the first quarter of 2013, the Company sold one manufacturing facility related to its label and packaging segment, which had a net book value of $3.7 million for net proceeds of $6.3 million, and entered into a seven-year operating lease for the same facility. In connection with the sale, the Company recorded a deferred gain of $2.6 million, which will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease as a reduction to rent expense in cost of sales in the Company's consolidated statement of operations.

Proceeds From Long-Lived Assets

During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company sold one manufacturing facility, which related to its envelope segment, for net proceeds of $1.0 million. During the third quarter of 2014, the Company sold one manufacturing facility, which related to its print segment, for net proceeds of $1.2 million.

During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company sold one office facility, which related to its envelope segment for net proceeds of $0.5 million. During the second quarter of 2013, the Company sold one manufacturing facility, which related to its envelope segment, for net proceeds of $1.7 million.

During the first quarter of 2013, a press in the Company's label and packaging segment was destroyed by a fire. The Company's insurance policy provided coverage for business interruption and the replacement cost of the press. The insurance settlement was finalized during the second quarter of 2013 and the Company received cash proceeds of $4.4 million, resulting in a $2.7 million gain. The gain on the insurance settlement represents the difference between the replacement cost and carrying value of the press. The gain is recorded in other income, net, in the Company's consolidated statement of operations.

In 2012, the Company sold three manufacturing facilities, one of which related to its envelope segment and two of which related to its print segment, for net proceeds of $6.4 million.

The impairment test for goodwill uses a two-step approach. Step one compares the estimated fair value of a reporting unit with goodwill to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value, step two must be performed. Step two compares the carrying value of the reporting unit to the fair value of all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit (including any unrecognized intangibles) as if the reporting unit was acquired in a business combination. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of its goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess. The Company's valuation of all of its reporting units was performed using the income approach in which the Company utilized a discounted cash flow analysis to determine the present value of expected future cash flows of each reporting unit. The Company performed a market approach analysis in order to support the reasonableness of the fair value determined under the income approach.

The estimated fair value for each of the Company's reporting units, as of the year ended 2014, exceeded the respective carrying values of each reporting unit. As a result, it was concluded that the goodwill assigned to each reporting unit, as of December 27, 2014, was not impaired. Additionally, there were no goodwill impairments recorded in the years ended 2013 and 2012

Sale of Intangible Asset

In 2012, the Company received proceeds of $5.7 million related to the buyout of a royalty agreement by a third party and certain other intellectual property. Prior to its sale, the royalty agreement was accounted for as an intangible asset in the Company's consolidated balance sheet. As a result of the transaction, the Company recorded a gain of $2.8 million in other income, net, in its consolidated statement of operations.

Asset Impairments
 
During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company made the decision to retire certain trade names during 2014 as a result of rebranding the Company's print and packaging business lines. Accordingly, based on its evaluation using a relief-from-royalty and other discounted cash flow methodologies, the Company concluded that those trade name assets were impaired. An impairment charge of $33.4 million was recorded to reduce their carrying value to their estimated fair value. Those trade names were fully amortized during 2014. There were no intangible asset impairments in the years ended 2014 or 2012.

6.000% Senior Priority Secured Notes

On June 26, 2014, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Cenveo Corporation (the "Subsidiary Issuer") issued $540.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.000% senior priority secured notes due 2019 (the "6.000% Notes"), which were sold to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, and to certain non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933.  The 6.000% Notes were issued at par, pursuant to an indenture (the "6.000% Indenture") among the Subsidiary Issuer, Cenveo, Inc. and the other guarantors party thereto, and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee and collateral agent. The Subsidiary Issuer will pay interest on the 6.000% Notes semi-annually, in cash in arrears, on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing on August 1, 2014. The 6.000% Notes have no required principal payments prior to their maturity on August 1, 2019.  The 6.000% Notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by Cenveo, Inc. and substantially all of its existing and future North American subsidiaries (other than the Subsidiary Issuer). As such, the 6.000% Notes rank pari passu with all of the Subsidiary Issuer's existing and future senior debt, and senior to any of the Subsidiary Issuer's subordinated debt and effectively junior to the Subsidiary Issuer's obligations under the $230 million asset-based revolving credit facility (the "ABL Facility"), to the extent that the ABL Facility has a first priority perfected security interest in certain of our assets. The Subsidiary Issuer may redeem the 6.000% Notes, in whole or in part, on or after February 1, 2019, at a redemption price of 100.0% plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, at any time between August 1, 2017, and February 1, 2019, the Subsidiary Issuer may redeem in whole or in part the remaining aggregate principal amount of the notes originally issued at a redemption price of 100% plus accrued and unpaid interest and a "make-whole" premium of not less than 1%. At any time prior to August 1, 2017, the Subsidiary Issuer may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes originally issued with the net cash proceeds of certain public equity offerings, at a redemption price of 106.0% plus accrued and unpaid interest. Each holder of the 6.000% Notes has the right to require the Subsidiary Issuer to repurchase such holder's notes at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, upon the occurrence of certain events specified in the indenture that constitute a change of control. The 6.000% Indenture contains a number of covenants which, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the Company's ability and the ability of the Subsidiary Issuer and the Company's other subsidiaries, to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, make restricted payments (including paying dividends on, redeeming or repurchasing our capital stock), permit restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions or payments, dispose of assets, make investments, grant liens on assets, merge or consolidate or transfer certain assets, and enter into transactions with affiliates. The 6.000% Indenture also contains certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default.

8.500% Junior Priority Secured Notes

Concurrently with the issuance of the 6.000% Notes on June 26, 2014, the Subsidiary Issuer issued $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.500% junior priority secured notes due 2022 (the "8.500% Notes") which were sold to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933.  The 8.500% Notes were issued at par, pursuant to an indenture (the "8.500% Indenture") among the Subsidiary Issuer, Cenveo, Inc. and the other guarantors party thereto, and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee and collateral agent. The Subsidiary Issuer will pay interest on the 8.500% Notes semi-annually, in cash in arrears, on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on September 15, 2014. The 8.500% Notes have no required principal payments prior to their maturity on September 15, 2022.  The 8.500% Notes are guaranteed on a junior secured basis by Cenveo, Inc. and substantially all of its existing and future North American subsidiaries (other than the Subsidiary Issuer). As such, the 8.500% Notes rank junior to any senior secured obligations of the Subsidiary Issuer, senior to any existing and future unsecured obligations of the Subsidiary Issuer, and senior to all existing and future obligations of the Subsidiary Issuer that are expressly subordinated to the 8.500% Notes. The Subsidiary Issuer may redeem the 8.500% Notes, in whole or in part, on or after September 15, 2017, September 15, 2018, September 15, 2019, or September 15, 2020, at redemption prices of 106.375%, 104.250%, 102.125% and 100.00%, respectively, plus accrued and unpaid interest. At any time prior to September 15, 2017, the Subsidiary Issuer may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes originally issued with the net cash proceeds of certain public equity offerings, at a redemption price of 108.5% plus accrued and unpaid interest. Each holder of the 8.500% Notes has the right to require the Subsidiary Issuer to repurchase such holder's notes at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, upon the occurrence of certain events specified in the indenture that constitute a change of control. The 8.500% Indenture contains a number of covenants which, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the Company's ability and the ability of the Subsidiary Issuer and the Company's other subsidiaries, to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, make restricted payments (including paying dividends on, redeeming or repurchasing our capital stock), permit restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions or payments, dispose of assets, make investments, grant liens on assets, merge or consolidate or transfer certain assets, and enter into transactions with affiliates. The 8.500% Indenture also contains certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default.

Net proceeds of the 6.000% Notes and 8.500% Notes were used to: (i) refinance the $360 million secured term loan facility (the "Term Loan Facility"), which at the time had a remaining principal balance of $327.3 million; (ii) refinance the 8.875% senior second lien notes due 2018 (the "8.875% Notes"), which at the time had a remaining principal balance of $400.0 million; and (iii) pay related fees, expenses and accrued interest. In connection with the issuance of the 6.000% Notes and the 8.500%

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Notes, the Company capitalized debt issuance costs of $14.7 million and $7.1 million, respectively, all of which will be amortized over the life of the 6.000% Notes and the 8.500% Notes.

A portion of the refinancing was accounted for as a modification of debt. As a result, the Company will continue to amortize a portion of the unamortized debt issuance costs on the 8.875% Notes and Term Loan Facility. The modification resulted in the recording of a discount of $5.9 million on the 6.000% Notes and $2.8 million on the 8.500% Notes.

2013 Credit Facilities

On April 16, 2013, the Company completed the refinancing of its $170 million revolving credit facility due 2014 (the "Revolving Credit Facility") and its existing term loan B due 2016 (the "Term Loan B," and collectively with the Revolving Credit Facility, the "Refinanced Facility") by entering into: (i) a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement providing for the Term Loan Facility, with a syndicate of lenders arranged by Bank of America, N.A., Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc. and Barclays Bank PLC, with Bank of America, N.A. serving as administrative agent, syndication agent and documentation agent; and (ii) a Credit Agreement providing for the ABL Facility; and together with the Term Loan Facility, the "2013 Credit Facilities"), with a syndicate of lenders arranged by Bank of America, N.A., Barclays Bank PLC, General Electric Capital Corporation and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, with Bank of America, N.A. serving as administrative agent, issuing bank and swingline lender. In connection with the 2013 Credit Facilities, the Company capitalized debt issuance costs of $7.2 million, of which $1.8 million relates to original issuance discount. Proceeds from the 2013 Credit Facilities, together with available cash on hand, were used to refinance the outstanding term loans and revolving loans, and accrued interest thereon, under the Refinanced Facility, and to pay certain fees and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions.

Borrowing rates under each of the 2013 Credit Facilities are selected at the Company's option at the time of each borrowing and are generally based on London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or the prime rate publicly announced by Bank of America, N.A. from time to time, in each case plus a specified interest rate margin. With respect to the Term Loan Facility, LIBOR-based borrowings had an interest rate of not less than 1.25% per annum plus an applicable margin of 5.00% per annum, and prime rate borrowings had an interest rate of not less than 2.25% per annum plus an applicable margin of 4.00% per annum. With respect to the ABL Facility, LIBOR-based borrowings have an interest rate margin ranging from 2.00% to 2.50% per annum, and prime rate borrowings have an interest rate margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.50% per annum, in each case depending on average availability under the ABL Facility for the most recent fiscal quarter. Under the ABL Facility, the Company pays a commitment fee on unused revolving loan commitments of 0.375% per annum or 0.50% per annum, depending on average usage under the ABL Facility for the most recent fiscal quarter.

Under the Term Loan Facility, the term loan amortized in quarterly installments equal to 1.00% per year, commencing June 21, 2013, with the remaining principal balance due at maturity on February 13, 2017. Under the ABL Facility, all loans mature on February 13, 2017. Under each of the 2013 Credit Facilities, the Company may elect, in its sole discretion, to extend the maturity date upon the satisfaction of certain conditions related to the refinancing of the Company's outstanding indebtedness under its 11.5% senior notes due 2017 (the "11.5% Notes") and its 8.875% Notes. If such conditions are satisfied, the maturity date of the ABL Facility may be extended to April 16, 2018.

On December 11, 2013, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 1 to the ABL Facility ("ABL Amendment No. 1"), pursuant to which the revolving commitments under the original agreement were increased by $30.0 million.  Capitalized fees and expenses associated with the ABL Amendment No. 1 were approximately $0.3 million.  A portion of the additional $30.0 million borrowing capacity under the ABL Facility, together with cash on hand, were used to repay $28.2 million of its Term Loan Facility.
In February 2014, the Company entered into an amendment to adjust, among other things, its covenant requirements under its Term Loan Facility. This amendment eliminated the maximum consolidated leverage ratio and replaced it with a maximum consolidated first lien leverage ratio, providing the Company additional financial flexibility. In connection with this amendment, the Company capitalized $1.5 million related to original issuance discount. The refinancing in June 2014, which resulted in the issuance of the 6.000% Notes and 8.500% Notes, eliminated all covenant requirements of the Term Loan Facility.

The obligations under the 2013 Credit Facilities are each guaranteed by the Company and each existing and future direct and indirect North American subsidiary. The 2013 Credit Facilities are secured by a first priority perfected security interest in substantially all assets of the Company and its North American subsidiaries, including: (i) all capital stock of each present and future subsidiary (with certain exclusions of foreign subsidiaries); (ii) all present and future inter-company debt; (iii) all intellectual property rights, including patents, trademarks and copyrights; and (iv) substantially all of the present and future other property and assets, including material real property.

In connection with the 2013 Credit Facilities, the Company entered into a third supplemental indenture to the indenture dated as of February 5, 2010, among the Company, the guarantors named therein and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee, pursuant to which the Company's 8.875% Notes were issued.

Also in connection with the 2013 Credit Facilities, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 1 to its existing Unsecured Term Loan (as defined below). The Unsecured Term Loan was amended in order to, among other things, permit the refinancing of the Refinanced Facility.

Subsequent Event
        
On January 30, 2015, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to the ABL Facility ("ABL Amendment No. 3"), pursuant to which the revolving commitments were increased by $10 million. Among other things, ABL Amendment No. 3 increased the Company's flexibility to sell assets and apply the proceeds thereof to prepay our indebtedness. The Amendment also generally increased our flexibility to prepay outstanding indebtedness, make acquisitions and other investments, and pay dividends, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.

Unsecured Term Loan
On January 18, 2013, the Company entered into an unsecured credit agreement with Macquarie US Trading LLC, as administrative agent, and the lenders named therein, which provided for an unsecured $50.0 million aggregate principal amount term loan due March 31, 2017 (the "Unsecured Term Loan"). In connection with the Unsecured Term Loan, the Company capitalized debt issuance costs of $6.1 million, of which $2.5 million relates to original issuance discount. In connection with the Unsecured Term Loan, all of the Company's North American subsidiaries as guarantors, entered into a guaranty agreement, dated as of January 18, 2013 (the "Guaranty"), in favor of the administrative agent. Proceeds from the Unsecured Term Loan together with borrowings on its Revolving Credit Facility were used to redeem, satisfy and discharge in full the Company's 7.875% senior subordinated notes due 2013 ("7.875% Notes"), and to pay certain fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Unsecured Term Loan and the redemption, satisfaction and discharge of the 7.875% Notes. On January 22, 2013, U.S. Bank National Association, the trustee for the 7.875% Notes, officially canceled the 7.875% Notes.

The Unsecured Term Loan bore interest at a rate of 15% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears on the 25th day of each February, May, August and November prior to the maturity of the Unsecured Term Loan, and on the maturity date of the Unsecured Term Loan.

During the second quarter of 2014, the Company used cash on hand to repay in full the remaining principal balance on the Unsecured Term Loan.
Other Debt

Other debt as of the year ended 2014 primarily consisted of equipment loans. On September 16, 2013, in connection with the acquisition of certain assets of National, the Company entered into an equipment loan in the aggregate amount of $20.0 million, secured by the machinery and equipment of National. Interest on the equipment loan accrues at a rate of LIBOR plus 11% per year and is payable monthly in arrears for a period of five years beginning on November 1, 2013. A prepayment fee applies if the Company elects to prepay the loan in full before the maturity date. From the date of issuance through September 30, 2014, the prepayment fee was 4%, and the fee declines by 1% in each subsequent year. In connection with the equipment loan, the Company capitalized debt issuance costs of $0.7 million.

2010 Credit Facilities
 
On December 14, 2012, the Company issued $15 million aggregate principal amount of additional term loans (the "$15 million Term Loan Add-On," and together with the $65 million Term Loan Add-On, as described below, the "Term Loan Add-On") under its senior secured credit agreement, which includes the Revolving Credit Facility, and the Term Loan B (collectively with the Term Loan Add-On and Revolving Credit Facility, the "2010 Credit Facilities"). The $15 million Term Loan Add-On was issued at par. Concurrently with the $15 million Term Loan Add-On, the Company amended the 2010 Credit Facilities (the "December 2012 Amendment") to allow the Company to enter into the Unsecured Term Loan. The Company capitalized debt issuance costs of $2.7 million, which was amortized over the remaining life of the 2010 Credit Facilities. Consenting lenders received $2.6 million, which was capitalized and amortized over the remaining life of the 2010 Credit Facilities.

On June 8, 2012, the Company issued the $65 million aggregate principal amount of additional term loans (the "$65 million Term Loan Add-On") under its 2010 Credit Facilities. The $65 million Term Loan Add-On was issued at a discount of

approximately $0.7 million. Concurrently with the $65 million Term Loan Add-On, the Company amended the 2010 Credit Facilities (the "Add-On Amendment") to allow for the repurchase of up to $135 million of its 7.875% Notes, subject to maintaining certain liquidity thresholds and other customary conditions. The Company capitalized debt issuance costs of $1.1 million, which was amortized over the remaining life of the 2010 Credit Facilities. Consenting lenders received $2.0 million for the Add-On Amendment, of which $1.8 million was capitalized and amortized over the remaining life of the 2010 Credit Facilities.

On February 3, 2012, the Company amended the 2010 Credit Facilities (the "2012 Amendment") to increase its restricted dispositions basket in connection with the sale of the Documents Group. The 2012 Amendment required that 25% of the net proceeds of such sale be used to repay the Term Loan B and requires that the remaining amount be used to reinvest in the business or refinance certain existing debt. On February 14, 2012, the Company repaid $9.5 million of the Term Loan B in connection with this provision. The 2012 Amendment required the Company to prepay unsecured debt, second lien debt and/or the loans under the 2010 Credit Facilities within 360 days after the effective date of the 2012 Amendment in an amount equal to 75% of the net proceeds. In connection with the 2012 Amendment, the Company paid $1.7 million to consenting lenders and related fees, which are included in discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations.

Effective March 5, 2012, the Company increased its borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility to $170 million from $150 million as a result of receiving an additional commitment, as permitted under the 2010 Credit Facilities. In connection with this increase, the Company capitalized debt issuance costs of $1.0 million, which is amortized over the life of the Revolving Credit Facility. On March 9, 2012, the Company repaid $34.7 million of its Term Loan B as part of its required excess cash flow pre-payment.
11.5% Senior Notes
 
On March 28, 2012, the Company issued $225 million aggregate principal amount of 11.5% Notes that were sold with registration rights to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, and to certain non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933.  The 11.5% Notes were issued at a discount of approximately $8.3 million. The 11.5% Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture (the "11.5% Indenture") among the Company, certain subsidiary guarantors and U.S. Bank N.A., as trustee. The Company will pay interest on the 11.5% Notes, semi-annually, in cash in arrears, on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing on May 15, 2012. The 11.5% Notes have no required principal payments prior to their maturity on May 15, 2017.  The 11.5% Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and substantially all of its existing and future North American subsidiaries. As such, the 11.5% Notes rank pari passu with all of the Company's existing and future senior debt and senior to any of the Company's subordinated debt. The Company may redeem the 11.5% Notes, in whole or in part, on or after May 15, 2015, at redemption prices ranging from 100% to 105.75%, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, at any time prior to May 15, 2015, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes originally issued with the net cash proceeds of certain public equity offerings, at a redemption price of 111.5% plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Company may also redeem some or all of the 11.5% Notes before May 15, 2015 at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, plus a "make whole" premium. Each holder of the 11.5% Notes has the right to require the Company to repurchase such holder's notes at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, upon the occurrence of certain events specified in the indenture that constitute a change of control. The 11.5% Indenture contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the Company's ability and the ability of the Company's subsidiaries to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, make restricted payments (including paying dividends on, redeeming or repurchasing the Company's capital stock), permit restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions or payments, dispose of assets, make investments, grant liens on assets, merge or consolidate or transfer certain assets, and enter into transactions with affiliates. The 11.5% Indenture also contains certain customary affirmative covenants. In order to fulfill its registration rights obligations, on May 10, 2012, the Company launched a registered exchange offer to exchange any and all of its unregistered 11.5% Notes for publicly tradable notes having substantially identical terms, except for the elimination of some transfer restrictions, registration rights and additional interest payments relating to the outstanding notes, which expired on June 18, 2012.
7% Senior Exchangeable Notes
 
Concurrently with the issuance of the 11.5% Notes on March 28, 2012, the Company issued $86.3 million aggregate principal amount of senior exchangeable notes due 2017 (the "7% Notes") that were sold to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933.  The 7% Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture (the "7% Indenture") among the Company, certain subsidiary guarantors and U.S. Bank N.A., as trustee. The Company will pay interest on the 7% Notes semi-annually, in cash in arrears, on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing on November 15, 2012. The 7% Notes have no required principal payments prior to their maturity on May 15, 2017.  The 7% Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and substantially all of its existing and future North American subsidiaries. As such, the 7% Notes rank pari passu with all of the Company's existing and future senior debt and senior to any of the Company's subordinated

debt. The Company may not redeem the notes at its option. Upon a fundamental change, as defined in the 7% Indenture, each holder of 7% Notes may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of such holder's notes for cash at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date, as defined in the 7% Indenture. The 7% Indenture does not contain any financial covenants or any restrictions, among other things, on the payment of dividends, the incurrence of other indebtedness, or the issuance or repurchase of securities by the Company. The 7% Indenture does not contain any covenants or other provisions to protect holders of the notes in the event of a highly leveraged transaction or a change of control, except to the extent described in the 7% Indenture.

The 7% Notes are exchangeable at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, for shares of the Company's common stock at an exchange rate of 241.5167 shares per $1,000 principal amount of 7% Notes, which is equal to an exchange price of approximately $4.14 per share, subject to adjustment under certain specified circumstances. This represents a premium of 22.5% above the last reported sale price of Cenveo's common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday, March 22, 2012, which was $3.38 per share. If a holder elects to exchange notes in connection with a make-whole fundamental change, as described in the 7% Indenture, such holder may also be entitled to receive a make-whole premium upon exchange in certain circumstances.

Net proceeds of the 11.5% Notes and 7% Notes together with borrowings under the Company's Revolving Credit Facility were used to fund the cash tender offers for any and all of the Company's 8.375% senior subordinated notes, due 2014 (the "8.375% Notes") and the 10.5% senior notes due 2016 (the "10.5% Notes"), plus $45 million aggregate principal amount of the Company's 7.875% Notes and to repurchase an additional $73 million of the 7.875% Notes through open market, negotiated purchases to refinance such indebtedness, and to pay related fees and expenses. In connection with the issuance of the 11.5% Notes and the 7% Notes, the Company capitalized debt issuance costs of $6.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively, all of which will be amortized over the life of the 11.5% Notes and the 7% Notes.
8.875% Notes
In 2010, the Company issued $400 million of 8.875% Notes that were sold with registration rights to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, and to certain non-United States persons in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933.  The 8.875% Notes were issued at a discount of approximately $2.8 million. Net proceeds after fees and expenses were used to pay down $300.0 million of the Company’s outstanding senior secured term loans and $88.0 million outstanding under the Company's then existing senior secured revolving credit facility.
The 8.875% Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture among Cenveo Corporation, certain subsidiary guarantors and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee, and an Intercreditor Agreement among Cenveo Corporation, certain subsidiary guarantors, Bank of America, N.A., as first lien agent and control agent, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as second lien collateral agent.  The 8.875% Notes paid interest semi-annually on February 1 and August 1, commencing August 1, 2010. The 8.875% Notes had no required principal payments prior to their maturity on February 1, 2018.  The 8.875% Notes were guaranteed on a senior secured basis by Cenveo, Inc. and substantially all of its domestic subsidiaries with a second priority lien on substantially all of the assets that secured the 2010 Credit Facilities, and on a senior unsecured basis by substantially all of the Canadian subsidiaries. As such the 8.875% Notes ranked pari passu with all the Company’s senior debt and senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s subordinated debt. The Company had the right to redeem the 8.875% Notes, in whole or in part, on or after February 1, 2014, at redemption prices ranging from 100.0% to approximately 104.4%, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Each holder of the 8.875% Notes had the right to require the Company to repurchase such holder’s notes at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, upon the occurrence of certain events specified in the indenture that constitute a change in control. The 8.875% Notes contained customary covenants, representations and warranties, plus a consolidated secured debt to consolidated cash flow liens incurrence test. In order to fulfill its registration rights obligations, on April 28, 2010, the Company launched a registered exchange offer to exchange any and all of its outstanding unregistered 8.875% Notes for publicly tradable notes having substantially identical terms and guarantees, except that the exchange notes were freely tradable. The exchange offer expired on May 26, 2010, and nearly all unregistered 8.875% Notes were exchanged for registered 8.875% Notes.
In connection with the issuance of the 8.875% Notes, the Company capitalized $9.4 million of debt issuance costs, of which $7.6 million related to fees paid to consenting lenders and $1.8 million related to offering expenses.
During 2014, the 8.875% Notes, which at the time had a remaining principal balance of $400.0 million, were extinguished in full using the net proceeds of the 6.000% Notes and 8.500% Notes.

Any default under the ABL Facility would prevent the Company from borrowing additional amounts and could cause the indebtedness outstanding under the ABL Facility and, by reason of cross-acceleration or cross-default provisions, all of the aforementioned notes and any other indebtedness the Company may then have, to become immediately due and payable.

The Company may from time to time seek to purchase its outstanding notes in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or other means. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, the Company's liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.

9. Fair Value Measurements
 
Certain assets and liabilities of the Company are required to be recorded at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis. Fair value is determined based on the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis:

On a recurring basis, the Company records its pension plan assets (Note 13) at fair value. No additional assets or liabilities were recorded at fair value on a recurring basis for the years ended 2014 and 2013.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis:

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis relate primarily to the Company's tangible fixed assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, which are remeasured when the derived fair value is below carrying value on the consolidated balance sheets. For these assets, the Company does not periodically adjust carrying value to fair value except in the event of impairment. When the Company determines that impairment has occurred, the carrying value of the asset is reduced to fair value and the difference is recorded within operating income in the statement of operations. No impairment of fixed assets or goodwill has been recorded in 2014 or 2013.

Refer to Note 6 for further information associated with the impairment of certain trade names. Fair value was derived using the relief-from-royalty method, as described in Note 1.

The following table provides information for assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of the years ended 2014 and 2013 (in thousands):

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net, long-term debt and accounts payable. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net, current maturities of long-term debt and accounts payable are reasonable estimates of their fair values as of the years ended 2014 and 2013 due to the short-term nature of these instruments. See Note 8 for fair value of the Company’s long-term debt. Additionally, the Company also records the assets and liabilities assumed in its acquisitions (Note 2) at fair value.

Deferred Income Taxes
Deferred taxes are recorded to give recognition to temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. The tax effects of these temporary differences are recorded as deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. Deferred tax assets generally represent items that can be used as a tax deduction or credit in future years. Deferred tax liabilities generally represent items that have been deducted for tax purposes, but have not yet been recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.
The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities of the Company, were as follows (in thousands):

The Company has federal and state net operating loss carryforwards. The tax effect of these attributes was $133.0 million as of the year ended 2014. Federal net operating loss carryforwards of $342.4 million will expire from 2022 through 2034, foreign tax credit carryforwards of $7.0 million will expire in 2015 and alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards of $7.7 million do not have an expiration date.
The Company reviews the likelihood that it will realize the benefit of its deferred tax assets and therefore the need for valuation allowances on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if events indicate that a review is required. In determining the requirement for a valuation allowance, the historical and projected financial results of the legal entity or consolidated group recording the net deferred tax asset is considered, along with all other available positive and negative evidence. The factors considered in the determination of the probability of the realization of the deferred tax assets include, but are not limited to: recent historical financial results, historical taxable income, projected future taxable income, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences, the duration of statutory carryforward periods and tax planning strategies. If, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded.
Concluding that a valuation allowance is not required is difficult when there is significant negative evidence which is objective and verifiable, such as cumulative losses in recent years. The Company utilizes a rolling twelve quarters of pre-tax income or loss adjusted for significant permanent book to tax differences as a measure of its cumulative results in recent years. In the United States, the Company's analysis indicates that it has cumulative three year historical losses on this basis. While there are significant impairment, restructuring and refinancing charges driving the cumulative three year loss, this is considered significant negative evidence which is objective and verifiable and therefore, difficult to overcome. However, the three year loss position is not solely determinative and accordingly, the Company considers all other available positive and negative evidence in its analysis. Based upon the Company's analysis, which incorporated the excess capacity and pricing pressure experienced in certain product lines, along with the recent decline in net sales and profitability from the print segment during 2013, the Company believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets in the United States will not be fully realized in the future. Accordingly, the Company has a valuation allowance related to those net deferred tax assets of $135.4 million as of the year ended 2014. Deferred tax assets related to certain state net operating losses and foreign tax credit carryforwards also did not reach the more likely than not realizability criteria and accordingly, were subject to a valuation allowance. As of the year ended 2014, the valuation allowance related to these state net operating losses and foreign tax credit carryforwards was $24.7 million.
There is no corresponding income tax benefit recognized with respect to losses incurred and no corresponding income tax expense recognized with respect to earnings generated in jurisdictions with a valuation allowance. This causes variability in the Company's effective tax rate. The Company intends to maintain the valuation allowances until it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be realized. If operating results improve on a sustained basis, or if certain tax planning strategies are implemented, conclusions regarding the need for valuation allowances could change, resulting in a decrease of the valuation allowances in the future, which could have a significant impact on income tax expense in the period recognized and subsequent periods.
Uncertain Tax Positions
The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. During 2014 and 2013, the Company did not reduce its liability for uncertain tax positions. The Company does not anticipate significant changes to its unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months. The balance of the Company’s remaining unrecognized tax benefits as of the year ended 2014 includes $2.2 million of tax benefits that, if recognized would affect the effective tax rate, which is included in other liabilities. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits and penalties as income tax expense. Related to the uncertain tax benefits noted above, the Company accrued interest of $0.3 million during 2014 and, in total, as of the year ended 2014, has recognized no liabilities for penalties and liabilities of $2.5 million for interest.

The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has examined the Company’s federal income tax returns through 2010. The Company’s federal income tax returns for tax years 2004 through 2006, and 2009 through 2010, remain subject to examination by the IRS due to a federal net operating loss generated in those years. The various states in which the Company is subject to income tax audits are generally open for the tax years after 2009. In Canada, the Company remains subject to audit for tax years after 2004. The Company does not believe that the outcome of any examination will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Current Taxes and Cash Taxes
As of the years ended 2014 and 2013, the Company had income tax receivables of $0.9 million and $0.6 million, respectively, included in other current assets. Net cash payments for income taxes were $1.6 million, $0.3 million and $1.4 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

11. Restructuring and Other Charges
Cost Savings, Restructuring and Integration Plans
 
The Company currently has three active cost savings, restructuring and integration plans: (i) two plans related to the implementation of cost savings initiatives focused on overhead cost eliminations, including headcount reductions, and the potential closure of certain manufacturing facilities (the "2014 Plan" and the "2013 Plan"); and (ii) the plan related to the integration of certain assets of National into existing envelope operations (the "National Plan").
2014 Plan
During the first quarter of 2014, the Company began implementing the 2014 Plan, which primarily focuses on overhead cost eliminations, including headcount reductions, and the potential closure of certain manufacturing facilities. The Company expects to be substantially complete with the 2014 Plan during the 2015 fiscal year.
2013 Plan
During the first quarter of 2013, the Company began implementing the 2013 Plan, which primarily focused on overhead cost eliminations, including headcount reductions, and the closure of certain manufacturing facilities. The Company substantially completed the 2013 Plan during the 2014 fiscal year.
Acquisition Integration Plans
Upon the completion of the acquisition of certain assets of National, the Company developed and began implementing the National Plan. The Company is substantially complete with the accelerated integration of these assets, which has included the closure and consolidation of nine manufacturing facilities into existing envelope operations and two new facilities, as of the end of 2014.
Upon the completion of the Envelope Product Group ("EPG") acquisition, the Company developed and implemented its plan to integrate EPG into its existing envelope operations (the "EPG Plan"). Since the date of acquisition, activities related to the EPG Plan have included the closure and consolidation of five manufacturing facilities into the Company's existing operations and the elimination of duplicative headcount. The Company has substantially completed the EPG Plan.

2012 Plan
In 2012, the Company announced the closure and consolidation of a print plant and an envelope plant into its existing operations. Additionally, the Company began implementing a cost savings initiative (the "2012 Plan"), which primarily focused on the Company's print and envelope segments and corporate expenses. This initiative focused on the consolidation of office and warehouse space and other overhead cost elimination plans, including headcount reductions.
Residual Plans

The Company currently has certain residual cost savings, restructuring and integration plans (the "Residual Plans"). As a result of these cost savings actions over the last eight years, the Company has closed or consolidated a significant amount of manufacturing facilities and has had a significant number of headcount reductions.

The Company does not anticipate any significant future expenses related to either the 2012 Plan or the Residual Plans.

The following tables present the details of the expenses recognized as a result of these plans.

12. Stock-Based Compensation
The Company’s 2007 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, approved in May 2008 (the "2007 Plan"), authorizes the issuance of up to 4,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Upon approval of the 2007 Plan, the Company ceased making awards under its prior equity plans, including the Company’s 2001 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan. Unused shares previously authorized under prior plans have been rolled over into the 2007 Plan and increased the total number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2007 Plan by 1,040,000 shares in 2013.
The Company’s outstanding unvested stock options have maximum contractual terms of up to six years, principally vest ratably over four years and are granted at exercise prices equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The Company’s outstanding stock options are exercisable into shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company’s outstanding restricted share units ("RSUs") principally vest ratably over four years. Upon vesting, RSUs convert into shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company currently issues authorized shares of common stock upon vesting of restricted shares or the exercise of other equity awards. The Company has no outstanding stock appreciation rights.
The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including grants of employee stock options and RSUs, based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant in accordance with the modified prospective method. The Company uses the Black-Scholes model for purposes of determining the fair value of stock options granted and recognizes compensation costs ratably over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award, net of estimated forfeitures. The Black-Scholes model has limitations on its effectiveness including that it was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable and that the model requires the use of parameters, such as stock price volatility that must be estimated from historical data and other market information. The Company’s stock option awards to employees have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and parameter estimation methodologies can materially affect fair value estimates.

Total stock-based compensation expense recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations was $2.4 million, $3.7 million and $5.3 million for the years ended 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The income tax benefits related to the Company’s stock-based compensation expense was $0.6 million, $0.7 million and $1.2 million for the years ended 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
 
As of December 27, 2014, there was approximately $0.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock-based compensation grants, which is expected to be amortized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years.

Intrinsic value for purposes of this table represents the amount by which the fair value of the underlying stock, based on the respective market prices as of the years ended 2014, 2013 and 2012, or, if exercised, the exercise dates, exceeds the exercise prices of the respective options.
The weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted during 2013, were at exercise prices equal to the market price of the stock on the grant dates, as calculated under the Black-Scholes model with the weighted average assumptions as follows:

The risk-free interest rate represents the United States Treasury Bond constant maturity yield approximating the expected option life of stock options granted during the period. The expected option life represents the period of time that the stock options granted during the period are expected to be outstanding, based on the mid-point between the vesting date and contractual expiration date of the option. The expected volatility is based on the historical market price volatility of the Company’s common stock for the expected term of the options, adjusted for expected mean reversion.
There were no stock options granted during 2014 and 2012.

In 2013, 419,500 RSUs were issued to certain employees of the Company, which vest ratably over four years. Additionally, 130,000 RSUs were issued during 2013 to certain members of the Company's Board of Directors, which vested one year from the date of issuance. The fair value of these awards was determined based on the Company's stock price on the dates of issuance.

In 2012, 136,840 RSUs were issued to certain members of the Company's Board of Directors. The RSUs vested one year from the date of issuance. The fair value of these awards was determined based on the Company's stock price on the date of issuance.
The total fair value of RSUs, which vested during 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $1.7 million, $1.6 million and $2.0 million, respectively, as of the respective vesting dates.

PSUs
    
On May 1, 2013, 730,500 performance share units ("PSUs") were granted to certain employees, with each award representing the right to receive one share of the Company's common stock upon the achievement of certain established performance targets and service conditions. The performance period for the awards was December 30, 2012 through December 28, 2013. As the performance targets were not met, the PSUs expired unvested and no compensation expense related to PSUs was recognized in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 28, 2013. There were no PSUs granted in fiscal year 2014 or 2012.


13. Retirement Plans
Pension Plans: The Company currently has two defined benefit pension plans for certain of its employees in the United States. The defined benefit plans provide benefit payments using formulas based on an employee's compensation and length of service, or stated amounts for each year of service. The Company expects to continue to fund these plans based on governmental requirements, amounts deductible for income tax purposes and as needed to ensure that plan assets are sufficient to satisfy plan liabilities. The benefits under the Company’s defined benefit pension plans are frozen.
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans: The Company has various supplemental executive retirement plans ("SERP"), which provide benefits to certain former directors and executives. For accounting purposes, these plans are unfunded; however, one plan has annuities that cover a portion of the liability to the participants in its plan and the income from the annuities offsets a portion of the cost of the plan. These annuities are included in other assets, net in the consolidated balance sheets.
Other Postretirement Plans:  The Company has various other postretirement benefit plans ("OPEB"), primarily focused on postretirement healthcare, such as medical insurance and life insurance and related benefits for certain of its former employees and, in some instances, their spouses. Benefits, eligibility and cost-sharing provisions vary by plan documents or union collective bargaining arrangements.
Savings Plan: The Company sponsors a defined contribution plan to provide substantially all United States salaried and certain hourly employees an opportunity to accumulate personal funds for their retirement. The Company contributed $0.5 million and $0.3 million to the plan in 2014 and 2013, respectively. In 2012, the Company did not make any voluntary contributions. Employees participating in the plan held 2,129,084 shares of the Company’s common stock as of the year ended 2014.
Funded Status and Net Periodic Cost: The following tables provide a reconciliation of the changes in the Company’s pension, SERP and OPEB plans' benefit obligations and fair value of assets for 2014 and 2013, a statement of the funded status as of the years ended 2014 and 2013, respectively, and the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets as of the years ended 2014 and 2013 (in thousands).

CENVEO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

The pre-tax amount of actuarial losses in AOCI as of the year ended 2014 that are expected to be recognized in net periodic benefit cost in 2015 is $8.7 million for defined benefit pension plans and $0.3 million for other postretirement benefit plans, including SERP. The pre-tax amount of prior service cost included in AOCI as of the year ended 2014 that is expected to be recognized in net periodic benefit cost in 2015 is zero for all defined benefit plans.

The discount rate assumption used to determine the Company’s pension obligations as of the years ended 2014 and 2013 takes into account the projected future benefit cash flow and the underlying individual yields in the Citigroup Pension Liability Index that would be available to provide for the payment of those benefits. The ultimate rate is developed by calculating an equivalent discounted present value of the benefit cash flow as of the years ended 2014 and 2013, respectively, using a single discount rate rounded to the nearest quarter percent.
The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets of 8.0% for the years ended 2014 and 2013 was based on historical returns and the expectations for future returns for each asset class in which plan assets are invested as well as the target asset allocation of the investments of the plan assets.

Fair Value of Assets: The Company's investment objective is to maximize the long-term return on its pension plan assets within prudent levels of risk. Investments are primarily diversified with a blend of equity securities, fixed income securities and alternative investments. The intent is to minimize plan expenses by outperforming plan liabilities over the long run.

The Company segregated its plan assets by the following major categories and levels for determining their fair values as of the years ended 2014 and 2013:

Cash and cash equivalents - Carrying value approximates fair value. As such, these assets were classified as Level 1.

70

CENVEO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


Equity - Equity investments are diversified by including United States and non-United States stocks, growth stocks, value stocks and stocks of large and small companies. The values of individual equity securities are based on quoted prices in active markets and are classified as Level 1.

Fixed income - Fixed income securities are primarily United States governmental and corporate bonds including mutual funds. The Company invests in certain fixed income funds that were priced in active markets and were classified as Level 1. The Company also invests in certain fixed income securities that are priced based on valuation models rather than a last trade basis and are not exchange-traded and are classified as Level 2.

Other - The Company also invests in group annuity contracts, which are invested in certain fixed income securities and are classified as Level 2.

Alternative investments - Alternative investments are primarily private equity hedge funds and hedge fund-of-funds. The fair value of alternative investments has been estimated using their Net Asset Values ("NAV") as reported by the investment manager of the respective alternative investment funds. NAV reported by the hedge funds is used as a practical expedient to estimate the fair value. The investment manager values these investments on a periodic basis with models that use market, income and valuation methods. The valuation inputs are not highly observable, and these investments are not actively traded in an open market. These investments were classified as Level 3.

The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value, or reflective of future fair values. While the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement. The Company invests in various assets in which valuation is determined by NAV. The Company believes that the NAV is representative of fair value, as there are no significant restrictions on redemption on these investments or other reasons that indicate the investment would be redeemed at an amount different than the NAV.

Multi-Employer Pension Plans: Certain of the Company’s union employees are included in multi-employer pension plans ("Multi-Employer Pension Plans"), to which the Company makes contributions in accordance with contractual union agreements. Such contributions are made on a monthly basis in accordance with the requirements of the plans and the actuarial computations and assumptions of the administrators of the plans. Contributions to Multi-Employer Pension Plans were $0.9 million in 2014, $1.1 million in 2013 and $1.1 million in 2012. In 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded expenses of $1.3 million, $0.5 million, and $5.1 million, respectively, as a result of exiting certain Multi-Employer Pension Plans in connection with its cost savings and restructuring plans.

Unless otherwise noted, the most recent Pension Protection Act ("PPA") zone status available in 2014 and 2013 is for the plan's year end, not the Company's year end. The zone status is based on information that the Company received from the plan and is certified by the plan's actuary. Among other factors, plans in the red zone are generally less than 65 percent funded, plans in the yellow zone are less than 80 percent funded, and plans in the green zone are at least 80 percent funded.

The FIP/RP Status column indicates plans for which a financial improvement plan ("FIP") or a rehabilitation plan ("RP") is either pending or has been implemented.



14. Commitments and Contingencies
Leases: The Company leases buildings and equipment under operating lease agreements expiring at various dates through 2033. Certain leases include renewal and/or purchase options, which may be exercised by us. As of the year ended 2014, future minimum annual lease payments by year and, in the aggregate, under non-cancelable operating lease agreements with original terms of one year or more consisted of the following (in thousands):

Rent expense was $31.1 million, $26.6 million and $25.6 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Environmental:  The Company is involved in certain environmental matters and has been designated as a potentially responsible party for certain hazardous waste sites. Prior to the Company’s acquisition of Nashua, Nashua was involved in certain environmental matters and was designated by the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") as a potentially responsible party for certain hazardous waste sites. In addition, Nashua had been notified by certain state environmental agencies that Nashua may bear responsibility for remedial action at other sites which have not been addressed by the EPA. The sites at which Nashua may have remedial responsibilities are in various stages of investigation and remediation. Due to the unique physical characteristics of each site, the remedial technology employed, the extended time-frames of each remediation, the interpretation of applicable laws and regulations and the financial viability of other potential participants, the ultimate range of outcomes cannot be predicted with certainty; therefore, the Company’s ultimate cost of remediation is an estimate and is contingent on these factors. Based on information currently available, the Company believes that Nashua’s remediation expense, if any, is not likely to have a material effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. As of the years ended 2014 and 2013, the undiscounted liability relating to the Company’s environmental matters was $1.7 million and $2.0 million, respectively, primarily the amount recorded on Nashua’s acquisition date, and is included in other liabilities. There have been no material changes related to these environmental matters since Nashua's acquisition date.

Litigation: The Company is party to various legal actions that are ordinary and incidental to its business. While the outcome of pending legal actions cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the outcome of these various proceedings will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Effective September 19, 2014, the Company reached an agreement with all defendants to settle all controversies and disputes, and agreed to dismiss all claims against defendants with prejudice, in connection with certain litigation arising out of the Company’s packaging division.  Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the Company received settlement proceeds from the litigation during the third quarter of 2014, which has been recorded in other income, net, in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.   Additionally, certain defendants in the above-referenced action forfeited certain benefits, the effect of which has been recorded in other income, net, in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

The Company has incurred $2.6 million of legal expenses over several years related to this litigation, including $0.9 million, $0.5 million and $0.4 million for the years ended 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which have been recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s statement of operations. 

In 2012, the Company reached an agreement with all parties to settle all controversies and disputes with prejudice in connection with certain civil litigations filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York and in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Burlington County. As the Company's liability arising out of these litigations existed as of the December 2011 balance sheet date, this settlement was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2011 within other expense (income), net in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company funded this settlement in 2012. In 2011, the Company reached an agreement with all defendants to settle all controversies and disputes and agreed to dismiss all claims against the defendants with prejudice in connection with a civil litigation filed in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This settlement was recorded as a reduction to selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.
Concentrations of Credit Risk: The Company has limited concentrations of credit risk with respect to financial instruments. Temporary cash investments and other investments are placed with high credit quality institutions, and concentrations within accounts receivable are generally limited due to the Company’s diverse customer base and its dispersion across different industries and geographic areas. The Company extends credit to customers based on its evaluation of the customer's financial condition. The Company does not require that any collateral be provided by its customers.
Letters of Credit: As of the year ended 2014, the Company had outstanding letters of credit of approximately $19.9 million and a de minimis amount of surety bonds. Based on the Company’s experience with these arrangements, it does not believe

73

CENVEO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

that any obligations that may arise will have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
Tax Audits: The Company’s income, sales and use, and other tax returns are routinely subject to audit by various authorities. The Company believes that the resolution of any matters raised during such audits will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or its results of operations.

Multi-Employer Pension Plans: The Company participates in a number of Multi-Employer Pension Plans and is exposed to significant risks and uncertainties arising from its participation in these Multi-Employer Pension Plans. These risks and uncertainties, including changes in future contributions due to partial or full withdrawal of the Company and other participating employers from these Multi-Employer Pension Plans, could significantly increase the Company’s future contributions or the underfunded status of these Multi-Employer Pension Plans. Two of the Multi-Employer Pension Plans are in mass withdrawal status. While it is not possible to quantify the potential impact of future actions of the Company or other participating employers from these Multi-Employer Pension Plans, continued participation in or withdrawal from these Multi-Employer Pension Plans could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

16.  Related Party Transactions

In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company entered into a 10-year lease of a manufacturing facility with a related party wholly owned and managed by certain executives of the Company. The Company believes the lease terms have not been significantly affected by the fact that the Company and the lessors are related parties.  The Company recognized approximately $0.5 million and less than $0.1 million in rental expense associated with the lease during 2014 and 2013, respectively, which is recorded in cost of sales. Future lease payments related to this lease (undiscounted) are $4.7 million as of the year ended 2014. The Company has no other commitments or guarantees related to the lease.
    

17.  Income (Loss) per Share

Basic income (loss) per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. When applicable, diluted income (loss) per share is calculated using two approaches. The first approach, the treasury stock method, reflects the potential dilution that could occur if the stock options, RSUs and, when applicable, PSUs, (collectively, the "Equity Awards") to issue common stock were exercised. The second approach, the if converted method, reflects the potential dilution of the Equity Awards and the 7% Notes being exchanged for common stock. Under this method, interest expense associated with the 7% Notes, net of tax, is added back to income from continuing operations and the shares outstanding are increased by the underlying 7% Notes equivalent.

For the years ended 2014, 2013 and 2012, the effect of approximately 20.3 million, 22.9 million and 24.1 million shares, respectively, related to the exchange of the 7% Notes for common stock and the issuance of common stock upon exercise of Equity Awards, were excluded from the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share, as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

18. Segment Information

The Company operates four operating segments: envelope, print, label and packaging. Based upon similar economic characteristics and management reporting, the Company has aggregated the label and packaging operating segments to have a total of three reportable segments: envelope, print and label and packaging. The envelope segment provides direct mail offerings and transactional and stock envelopes. The print segment provides a wide array of print offerings such as high-end printed materials including car brochures, advertising literature, corporate identity and brand marketing material, digital printing and content management. The label and packaging segment specializes in the design, manufacturing and printing of labels such as custom labels, overnight packaging labels, pressure-sensitive prescription labels, full body shrink sleeves, and specialized folded carton packaging.
Operating income (loss) of each segment includes all costs and expenses directly related to the segment's operations. Corporate expenses include corporate general and administrative expenses including stock-based compensation.

Corporate identifiable assets primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, miscellaneous receivables, deferred financing fees, deferred tax assets and other assets.

CENVEO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

19. Condensed Consolidating Financial Information

Cenveo, Inc. is a holding company (the "Parent Company"), which is the ultimate parent of all Cenveo subsidiaries. The Parent Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Cenveo Corporation (the "Subsidiary Issuer"), issued the 6.000% Notes, the 8.500% Notes, the 7.875% Notes, the 8.875% Notes, the 7% Notes, and the 11.5% Notes (collectively with the 6.000% Notes, the 8.500% Notes, the 7.875% Notes, the 8.875% Notes, and the 7% Notes, the "Subsidiary Issuer Notes"), which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by the Parent Company and substantially all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Guarantor Subsidiaries").

Presented below is condensed consolidating financial information for the Parent Company, the Subsidiary Issuer, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries as of December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013 and for the years ended 2014, 2013 and 2012.  The condensed consolidating financial information has been presented to show the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Parent Company, the Subsidiary Issuer, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, assuming the guarantee structure of the Subsidiary Issuer Notes was in effect at the beginning of the periods presented.

The supplemental condensed consolidating financial information reflects the investments of the Parent Company in the Subsidiary Issuer, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries using the equity method of accounting. The Company’s primary transactions with its subsidiaries other than the investment account and related equity in net income (loss) of subsidiaries are the intercompany payables and receivables between its subsidiaries.

Item 9.  Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
None.
Item 9A.  Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain "disclosure controls and procedures," as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal year covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The management of Cenveo is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of assets which could have a material effect on our financial statements.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 27, 2014, based on the framework set forth by the 2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("2013 COSO Framework"). Based on that assessment, management concluded that, as of December 27, 2014, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on the criteria established in the 2013 COSO Framework.
Our independent registered public accounting firm, Grant Thornton LLP, has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 27, 2014. This report follows.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 2014 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system

88


of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


Board of Directors and Shareholders
Cenveo, Inc.
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Cenveo, Inc. (a Colorado corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 27, 2014, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 27, 2014, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by COSO.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 27, 2014, and our report dated February 18, 2015 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
