Note 1. |
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation
Our independent registered public accounting firm has not audited our accompanying interim financial statements. We derived the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2018 from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018 (the “Fiscal 2018 Form 10-K”). In the opinion of our management, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of our statements of income for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, our comprehensive income for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, our financial position at March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, our cash flows for the six months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, and our statements of equity for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018.
On October 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, which is codified in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). See “Note 2. Revenue Recognition” for more information on the impact of our adoption of ASC 606.
We adopted ASU 2017-07, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost” on October 1, 2018 on a retrospective basis. During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, upon the adoption of this ASU, we began presenting the non-service components of our pension and other postretirement income separately from the service cost components and outside the subtotal of operating profit. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2018, we reclassified $24.6 million and $49.2 million, respectively, to “Pension and other postretirement non-service income”, which was previously reported in “Cost of goods sold” for $10.0 million and $20.0 million, respectively, and “Selling, general and administrative, excluding intangible amortization” for $14.6 million and $29.2 million, respectively, on our condensed consolidated statements of income.
We adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-15 “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” on October 1, 2018 on a retrospective basis. The adoption resulted in a change in classification of proceeds received for beneficial interests obtained for transferring trade receivables in securitization transactions as investing activities instead of operating activities in the statement of cash flows. Although this aspect of the ASU does not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements on a prospective basis (from October 1, 2018) because the creation of beneficial interest was eliminated under the terms of our A/R Sales Agreement (as defined herein) effective as of September 25, 2018, we have applied the provisions of this ASU retrospectively to prior years. As a result, cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended March 31, 2018 decreased by $253.1 million with a corresponding increase to cash provided by investing activities. The other provisions of ASU 2016-15 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
We adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-18, “Restricted Cash” on October 1, 2018 on a retrospective basis. As a result of the adoption, we began including amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period
10
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
amounts shown on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Due to the minimal amount of restricted cash on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, the impact was not material.
We have condensed or omitted certain notes and other information from the interim financial statements presented in this report. Therefore, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Fiscal 2018 Form 10-K. The results for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the full year.
Significant Accounting Policies
See “Note 1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements section of the Fiscal 2018 Form 10-K for a summary of our significant accounting policies.
Recent Accounting Developments
New Accounting Standards - Recently Adopted
See “Note 1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — New Accounting Standards - Recently Adopted” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements section of the Fiscal 2018 Form 10-K for information on new accounting standards adopted on October 1, 2018. Other than as discussed in the Basis of Presentation section above, the adoption of those standards did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
New Accounting Standards - Recently Issued
See “Note 1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — New Accounting Standards - Recently Issued” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements section of the Fiscal 2018 Form 10-K for information on new accounting standards issued prior to the beginning of fiscal 2019 but not yet adopted and where we do not expect that the adoption will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. Below is a description of new accounting standards for which (i) we are in the process of evaluating the impact on our financial statements or (ii) we have determined that the new standard could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We have not elected to early adopt any of the new accounting standards described below to the extent early adoption is permitted.
In October 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2018-18 “Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction Between Topic 808 and Topic 606”, which provides targeted amendments to ASC 808, “Collaborative arrangements” (“ASC 808”) and ASC 606. The amendments in this ASU require transactions between participants in a collaborative arrangement to be accounted for under ASC 606 when the counterparty is a customer. This ASU precludes an entity from presenting consideration from a transaction in a collaborative arrangement as revenue from contracts with customers if the counterparty is not a customer for that transaction. This ASU also amends ASC 808 to refer to the unit-of-account guidance in ASC 606 and requires it to be used only when assessing whether a transaction is in scope of ASC 606. This ASU is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU.
In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-17 “Consolidation: Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities.” This ASU changes how entities evaluate decision-making fees under the variable interest entity guidance. To determine whether decision-making fees represent a variable interest, an entity considers indirect interests held through related parties under common control on a proportionate basis, rather than in their entirety, as currently required under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). This ASU is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract”. The amendments in this ASU align the requirements for capitalizing implementation
11
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by these amendments. The provisions may be adopted prospectively or retrospectively. This ASU is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14 “Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General (Subtopic 715-20): Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans”. The amendments in this ASU modify the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans to remove disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial, clarify the specific requirements of disclosures and add disclosure requirements identified as relevant. These provisions will be applied retrospectively. This ASU is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”. The amendments in this update provide financial statement preparers with an option to reclassify stranded tax effects within accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings in the period of adoption or retrospectively in each period in which the effect of the change in the United States (“U.S.”) federal corporate income tax rate in the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) (or portion thereof) is recorded. This ASU requires financial statement preparers to disclose (i) a description of the accounting policy for releasing income tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income; (ii) whether they elect to reclassify the stranded income tax effects from the Tax Act; and (iii) information about the other income tax effects that are reclassified. The amendments affect any organization that is required to apply the provisions of ASC 220, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income”, and has items of other comprehensive income for which the related tax effects are presented in other comprehensive income as required by GAAP. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU, but do not expect it to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities”. The amendments in this ASU better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. To meet that objective, the amendments expand and refine hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and align the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements. The amendments in this ASU also make certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of hedge accounting guidance and ease the administrative burden of hedge documentation requirements and assessing hedge effectiveness. In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-16 “Derivatives and Hedging: Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting”, which adds the overnight index rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate to the list of U.S. benchmark interest rates in ASC 815 that are eligible to be hedged. The provisions of ASU 2017-12 and ASU 2018-16 are concurrently effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and should be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2017-12 and ASU 2018-16, but do not expect these provisions to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 “Leases”, which is codified in ASC 842 “Leases” and supersedes current lease guidance in ASC 840. These provisions require lessees to put a right-of-use asset and lease liability on their balance sheet for operating and financing leases that have a term of more than one year. Expense will be recognized in the income statement similar to current accounting guidance. For lessors, this ASU modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. Entities will need to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about their leases, including characteristics and amounts recognized in the financial statements. These provisions are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Prior to the FASB issuing ASU 2018-11 “Leases”, entities were required to use a modified retrospective approach upon adoption to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial

statements. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, which provides entities the option to initially apply ASU 2016-02 at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Consequently, the comparative periods presented in the financial statements would continue to be in accordance with current GAAP. In December 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-20 “Leases: Narrow-scope Improvements for Lessors” to help lessors apply ASC 842, which allows lessors to make an accounting policy election not to evaluate sales taxes and other similar taxes collected from lessees, requires lessors to exclude from variable payments certain lessor costs paid directly by lessee to third parties on the lessor’s behalf and provides clarification on variable payments allocated to lease and non-lease components. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01 “Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements” (“ASU 2019-01”), which (a) provides guidance on lessors’ accounting for acquisition costs that will now generally be included in the measurement of fair value of the underlying asset, (b) clarifies that lessors in scope of ASC 942, “Financial Services—Depository and Lending”, have to follow cash flow presentation guidance under ASC 942 for payments received by lessors and (c) provides an exemption to all companies from interim transition disclosure requirements of ASC 250, in addition to the already exempted annual disclosure requirement of ASC 250. ASU 2019-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years; however, entities are permitted to early adopt ASU 2019-01 concurrent with, or any time after the adoption of ASC 842. While we have not completed our assessment, we expect that the adoption of ASC 842 as of October 1, 2019 will result in us recording additional assets and liabilities not previously reflected on our consolidated balance sheets, but we do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the recognition, measurement or presentation of lease expenses within the consolidated statements of income or the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Note 2. |
Revenue Recognition |
We adopted ASC 606 and all related amendments on October 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. We recorded the transition adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings to account for the cumulative effect of adopting ASC 606. Since we used the modified retrospective method, we have not restated comparative information, which continues to be reported under the accounting standard in effect for those periods.
We manufacture certain customized products that have no alternative use to us (since they are made to specific customer orders), and we believe that for certain customers we have a legally enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date on these products, including a reasonable profit. For manufactured products that meet these two criteria, we now recognize revenue “over time”. This results in revenue recognition prior to the date of shipment or title transfer for these products and increases the contract asset (unbilled receivables) balance with a corresponding reduction in finished goods inventory on our balance sheet. Due to the recurring nature of our sales of these customized products, the impact of ASC 606 is not expected to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements in future periods.
The transition adjustment resulted in revenue acceleration of $183.7 million with a corresponding acceleration of cost of $133.4 million. The net increase to opening balance of retained earnings was $43.5 million (net of tax expense of $6.8 million) as of October 1, 2018 due to the cumulative impact of adopting the new revenue standard. The adoption of ASC 606 had the following impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements:

Revenue Contract Balances
Contract assets are rights to consideration in exchange for goods that we have transferred to a customer when that right is conditional on something other than the passage of time. Contract assets are reduced when title and risk of loss passes to the customer. Contract liabilities represent obligations to transfer goods or services to a customer for which we have received consideration. Contract liabilities are reduced once control of the goods is transferred to the customer.
The opening and closing balances of our contract assets and contract liabilities are as follows. Contract assets and contract liabilities are aggregated within Other current assets and Other current liabilities, respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Performance Obligations and Significant Judgments
We primarily derive revenue from fixed consideration. Certain contracts may also include variable consideration, typically in the form of cash discounts and volume rebates. If a contract with a customer includes variable consideration, we estimate the expected cash discounts and other customer refunds based on historical experience. We concluded this method is consistent with the most likely amount method under ASC 606 and allows us to make the best estimate of the consideration we will be entitled to from customers.
Contracts or purchase orders with customers could include a single type of product or multiple types/grades of products. Regardless, the contract price with the customer is agreed to at the individual product level outlined in the customer contracts or purchase orders. Management has concluded that the prices negotiated with each individual customer are representative of the stand-alone selling price of the product.
Practical Expedients and Exemptions
As permitted by ASC 606, we elected to use certain practical expedients. We treat shipping and handling activities as fulfillment activities. We treat costs associated with obtaining new contracts as expenses when incurred if the amortization period of the asset we would recognize is one year or less. We do not record interest income when the difference in timing of control transfer and customer payment is one year or less. The election of these practical expedients results in accounting treatments that we believe are consistent with our historical accounting policies and, therefore, these elections and expedients do not have a material impact on comparability of our financial statements.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
We account for acquisitions in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations”. The estimated fair values of all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisitions are provisional and may be revised as a result of additional information obtained during the measurement period of up to one year from the acquisition date. See “Note 2. Mergers, Acquisitions and Investment” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements section of the Fiscal 2018 Form 10-K for information about our prior year acquisitions or investment. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2019, no changes to our fiscal 2018 provisional fair value estimates of assets and liabilities assumed in acquisitions have been significant, and we do not anticipate future changes to these acquisitions to be significant.
KapStone Acquisition
On November 2, 2018, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of January 28, 2018, among WRKCo Inc. (formerly known as WestRock Company), which we refer to as “WRKCo”, KapStone Paper and Packaging Corporation (“KapStone”), the Company (formerly known as Whiskey Holdco, Inc.), Whiskey Merger Sub, Inc. and Kola Merger Sub, Inc., the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of KapStone through a transaction in which: (i) Whiskey Merger Sub, Inc. merged with and into WRKCo, with WRKCo surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Company (the “WestRock Merger”) and (ii) Kola Merger Sub, Inc. merged with and into KapStone, with KapStone surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “KapStone Merger” and, together with the WestRock Merger, the “KapStone Acquisition”). Effective as of the effective time of the KapStone Acquisition (the “Effective Time”), Whiskey Holdco, Inc. changed its name to “WestRock Company” and WRKCo changed its name to “WRKCo Inc.”
KapStone is a leading North American producer and distributor of containerboard, corrugated products and specialty papers, including liner and medium containerboard, kraft papers and saturating kraft. KapStone also owns Victory Packaging, a packaging solutions distribution company with facilities in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. We have included the financial results of KapStone in our Corrugated Packaging segment since the date of the acquisition.
Pursuant to the KapStone Acquisition, at the Effective Time, (a) each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of WRKCo (“WRKCo common stock”) was converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (“Company common stock”) and (b) each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of KapStone (“KapStone common stock”) (other than shares of KapStone common stock owned by (i) KapStone or any of its subsidiaries or (ii) any KapStone stockholder who properly exercised appraisal rights with respect to its shares of KapStone common stock in accordance with Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law) was automatically canceled and converted into the right to receive (1) $35.00 per share in cash, without interest (the “Cash Consideration”), or, at the election of the holder of such share of KapStone common stock, (2) 0.4981 shares of Company common stock (the “Stock Consideration”) and cash in lieu of fractional shares, subject to proration procedures designed to ensure that the Stock Consideration would be received in respect of no more than 25% of the shares of KapStone common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Maximum Stock Amount”). Each share of KapStone common stock in respect of which a valid election of Stock Consideration was not made by 5:00 p.m. New York City time on September 5, 2018 was converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration. KapStone stockholders elected to receive Stock Consideration that was less than the Maximum Stock Amount and no proration was required.
The consideration for the KapStone Acquisition was $4.9 billion including debt assumed, a long-term financing obligation and equity awards replaced with WestRock equity awards with identical terms. As a result, KapStone stockholders received in the aggregate approximately $3.3 billion in cash and 1.6 million shares of WestRock common stock with a value of $70.1 million, or approximately 0.6% of the issued and outstanding shares of WestRock common stock immediately following the Effective Time. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, the Company assumed any outstanding awards granted under the equity-based incentive plans of WRKCo and KapStone (including the shares underlying such awards), the award agreements evidencing the grants of such awards and, in the case of the WRKCo equity-based incentive plans, the remaining shares available for issuance under the applicable plan, in each case subject to adjustments to such awards in the manner set forth in the Merger Agreement. Included in the consideration was $70.8 million related to outstanding
16
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
KapStone equity awards that were replaced with WestRock equity awards with identical terms for pre-combination service. The amount related to post-combination service will be expensed over the remaining service period of the awards.

The measurement period adjustments recorded in fiscal 2019 did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019. |
(2) |
The measurement period adjustments were primarily due to refinements to third party appraisals and carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities, as well as adjustments to certain tax accounts based on, among other things, adjustments to deferred tax liabilities. The net impact of the measurement period adjustments resulted in a net decrease to goodwill. |
We are in the process of analyzing the estimated values of all assets acquired and liabilities assumed including, among other things, finalizing third-party valuations of certain tangible and intangible assets, as well as the fair value of certain contracts and the determination of certain tax balances; therefore, the allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and subject to material revision.
The fair value assigned to goodwill is primarily attributable to buyer-specific synergies expected to arise after the acquisition (e.g., enhanced geographic reach of the combined organization, increased vertical integration and other synergistic opportunities) and the assembled work force of KapStone, as well as from establishing deferred tax liabilities for the assets and liabilities acquired. The goodwill and intangibles resulting from the acquisition will not be amortizable for tax purposes.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
None of the intangible assets have significant residual value. The intangible assets are expected to be amortized over estimated useful lives ranging from one to 20 years based on the approximate pattern in which the economic benefits are consumed or straight-line if the pattern was not reliably determinable.
Summary of Restructuring and Other Initiatives
We recorded pre-tax restructuring and other costs of $34.8 million and $89.2 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019, respectively, and $31.7 million and $48.0 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2018, respectively. These amounts are not comparable since the timing and scope of the individual actions associated with a given restructuring, acquisition, divestiture or integration can vary. We present our restructuring and other costs in more detail below.

Restructuring
Our restructuring charges are primarily associated with plant closures and employee costs due to merger and acquisition-related workforce reductions. When we close a facility, if necessary, we recognize a write-down to reduce the carrying value of equipment or other property to their estimated fair value less cost to sell and record charges for severance and other employee-related costs. Any subsequent change in fair value less cost to sell prior to disposition is recognized as it is identified; however, no gain is recognized in excess of the cumulative loss previously recorded unless the actual selling price exceeds the original carrying value. At the time of each announced closure, we generally expect to record future period costs for equipment relocation, facility carrying costs, costs to terminate a lease or contract before the end of its term and employee-related costs.
Although specific circumstances vary, our strategy has generally been to consolidate our sales and operations into large well-equipped plants that operate at high utilization rates and take advantage of available capacity created by operational excellence initiatives and/or further optimize our system following mergers and acquisitions or a changing business environment. Therefore, we have transferred a substantial portion of each closed plant’s assets and production to our other plants. We believe these actions have allowed us to more effectively manage our business.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)
While restructuring costs are not charged to our segments and, therefore, do not reduce segment income, we highlight the segment to which the charges relate. The following table presents a summary of restructuring charges related to active restructuring initiatives that we incurred during the three and six months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the cumulative recorded amount since we started the initiatives and our estimate of the total costs we expect to incur (in millions):
