Additional information
The directors present their report and audited financial statements of the Group for the period ended 31 December 2024. Directors The present directors are listed on the Company Information page. Directors' indemnity The company indemnifies the directors in its Articles of Association to the extent allowed under section 232 of the Companies Act 2006. Such qualifying third party indemnity provisions for the benefit of the company's directors remain in force at the date of this report. Financial risk management In accordance with section 414C of the Companies Act 2006 the directors have included information regarding financial instruments as required by Schedule 7 (Part 6.1) of the Large and Medium-sized Companies and Groups (Accounts andReports) Regulations 2008 in the strategic report under Financial risk management. Market risk The Group manages its market risk by ensuring that it has a diverse portfolio of clients. This allows the Group to continue to trade effectively even if there are factors that affect the market i.e. interest rate hikes. The Group continues to monitor its exposure and target specific clients to manage the market risk going forward to ensure the financial security of the group. Credit risk The Group's credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade receivables. The amounts presented in the Statement of Financial Position are net of allowances for doubtful receivables. An allowance for impairment is made where there is an identified loss event which, based on previous experience, is evidence of a reduction in the recoverability of the cash flows. The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk with exposure spread over many counterparties and customers. Liquidity risk In order to maintain liquidity to ensure that sufficient funds are available for ongoing operations and future developments and regularly reviews cash flows to ensure liabilities can be met as they fall due. Foreign exchange rate risk The Group manages its foreign exchange rate risk by ensuring the subsidiaries predominantly work with their local currency. This limits the exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations that could impact the statement of profit or loss.The Group has no significant transactions that do require foreign exchange rate transactions. Going concern The directors consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. The current economic and geopolitical environment were considered as part of the going concern assessment. The directors perform an annual going concern test on the wider group of LSC Communications LLC through observing if there have been: recurring operating losses, working capital deficiencies, negative cash flows from operating activities, loan defaults, denial of usual trade credit from suppliers, disposals of substantial assets, work stoppages and other labour difficulties, legal proceedings, and loss of a key franchise or principal customer. Following the receipt of confirmation of ongoing support from its parent entity, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future at least 12 months from the date of this report. The company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements for the year ended, 31 December 2024. Key Performance Indicator The directors key performance indicator is through their review of the face of the financial statements. As shown on the consolidated statement of profit or loss, the Group has operated with a profit in 2024 and 2023. The directors are comfortable with the profit reported showing signs of positive performance.

They believe that the company is in a good position to take advantage of any opportunities which may arise in the future. It is the intention of the directors that the business of the company will continue for the foreseeable future. Business relationships Business relationships of the Group are discussed within the Strategic Report as part of the Section 172 statement. Auditor Pursuant to section 487 of the Companies Act 2006, Grant Thornton have expressed their willingness to continue in office as auditors and therefore deemed reappointed as auditors.
