PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
R. R. Donnelley & Sons Company (the company), incorporated in the state of
Delaware in 1956 as the successor to a business founded in 1864, is a major
participant in the information industry, providing a broad range of services in
print and digital media. The company believes it is the largest supplier of
commercial print and print-related services in the United States. It is a major
supplier in the United Kingdom and also provides services in Mexico, other
locations in Europe and in Asia. Services provided to customers include
presswork and binding, including on-demand customized publications;
conventional and digital pre-press operations, including desktop publishing and
filmless color imaging, necessary to create a printed image; software
replication, translation and localization; list, list enhancement, database
management and mail production services (provided primarily through Metromail);
design and related creative services (provided through Mobium); cartographic
services; electronic communication networks for simultaneous worldwide product
releases; digital services to publishers; and, through R. R. Donnelley Logistic
Services, the planning for and fulfillment of truck, rail, mail and air
distribution for products of the company and its customers, as well as third
parties. The company's pre-press, presswork and binding operations have
accounted for over 90% of the company's revenues for each of the last five
years. In 1990, the company acquired the Meredith/Burda companies, thereby
enhancing the company's service capabilities by adding four printing plants.
The company provides these services to more than 4,000 customers, including
publishers of consumer and trade magazines, books and telephone and other
directories; direct mail (catalog) and in-store merchandisers; software
publishers and computer hardware manufacturers; and financial institutions and
other firms requiring substantial amounts of printing and other related
information services. Due to the range of services it provides, the company
believes it is uniquely positioned to meet the information and communication
needs of its customers.
The relative contribution of each of the company's major product areas to its
total sales for the five-year period ended December 31, 1993, is presented in
the table below. In 1993, international printing operations represented less
than 9% of consolidated results and assets.
1993 1992 1991 1990 1989

Most of the company's sales are made pursuant to term contracts with
customers, with the remainder being made on a single-order basis. For some
customers, the company prints and provides related services for several
different publications under different contracts. The company's contracts with
its larger customers normally run for a period of years (usually three to five
years but longer in the case of contracts requiring significant capital
investment) or for an indefinite period subject to termination on specified
notice by either party. Such sales contracts generally provide for timely price
adjustments to reflect price changes for materials, wages and utilities. No
single customer has a relationship with the company that accounted for 3% or
more of the company's sales in 1993. The company's dependence for sales from
its ten largest customers has declined in the past eleven years to
approximately 22% of sales in 1993, down from 35% of sales in 1983.
3
The various phases of the information industry in which the company is
involved are highly competitive. While the company has contracts with its
customers as indicated above, there are numerous competing companies and
renewal of such contracts is dependent, in part, on the ability of the company
to continue to differentiate itself from the competition. Differentiation
results, in part, from the company's broad range of value-added services, which
include Selectronic(R) imaging and gathering; list maintenance, database
management and targeted mail programs; expansive mailing and distribution
services; in-plant reception from customer desktop publishing systems;
fulfillment and returned books inventory management; replication of magnetic
media products; electronic data management and distribution; and design.
Although the company believes it is the largest commercial printer in the
United States, it estimates that its revenues represent approximately 7% of the
total sales in the industry. Although the company's plants are well located for
the national or regional distribution of its products, competitors in some
areas of the United States have a competitive advantage in some instances due
to such factors as freight rates, wage scales and customer preference for local
services. In addition to location, other important competitive factors are
price and quality as well as the range of available services.
An excess of supply versus demand exists for most grades of paper. The list
price of paper remains stable, although discounting is prevalent for certain
grades of paper. Existing paper supply contracts (at prevailing market prices)
will cover the company's requirements through 1994, and management believes
that extensions and renewals of these purchase contracts will provide adequate
paper supplies in the future. Ink and ink materials are currently available in
sufficient amounts, and the company believes that it will have adequate
supplies in the future.
The company estimates that its capital expenditures in 1994 and 1995 to
comply with federal, state and local provisions for environmental controls, as
well as expenditures, if any, for the company's share of costs to clean
hazardous waste sites that have received waste from the company, will not be
material and will not have a material effect upon its earnings or its
competitive position.
The company employed an average of approximately 32,100 persons in 1993
(34,000 persons at December 31, 1993), of whom more than 11,000 had been with
the company for more than 10 years and over 2,700 for 25 years or longer.

The company has historically followed the practice of adding capacity to meet
customer requirements, and has retained a substantial portion of its earnings
for reinvestment in plant and equipment for this purpose. Management believes
that growth in 1994 will be financed in large part by internally-generated
funds. The amount of capital expenditures in future years will depend upon the
requirements of the company's existing and future customers.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On July 13, 1990, the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") filed a complaint in
the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ("District Court") seeking
a preliminary injunction enjoining the company from consummating its
acquisition of the Meredith/Burda companies. The complaint alleged that
consummation of the acquisition might substantially lessen competition in
certain alleged rotogravure printing markets. The District Court denied the
motion of the FTC for an injunction as well as a further motion for injunction
pending appeal. The acquisition was closed on September 4, 1990.
On October 11, 1990, the FTC Staff initiated its administrative action
challenging the acquisition of the Meredith/Burda companies. The complaint
alleged the same issues as did the complaint before the District Court. Trial
before an administrative law judge ("ALJ") of the FTC concluded in June, 1993.
On December 30, 1993, the FTC's ALJ issued his initial decision upholding the
position of the FTC Staff. The ALJ found that the acquisition by the company of
the Meredith/Burda companies created a "dominant firm" and significantly
increased concentration in a "high-volume publication rotogravure market," thus
increasing the likelihood of anti-competitive conduct and actual or tacit
collusion among the firms participating in that market. The ALJ ordered the
divestiture of the Meredith/Burda companies and prohibited the acquisition by
the company of any other firms participating in the U.S. "rotogravure market"
without FTC approval for a period of ten years.
The company has filed its appeal of the ALJ's decision, asking the FTC
Commissioners to dismiss the FTC complaint. The appeal has the effect of
staying the ALJ's order. If the appeal by the company is not granted, the
company intends to file a further appeal to a U.S. Court of Appeals.
The company continues to believe that the acquisition of the Meredith/Burda
companies was legally proper and will ultimately be upheld.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COMPARISON OF 1993 WITH 1992
Net sales grew at a rate of 4.6% (first half growth was 0.5%; second half
growth was 8.2%). The year-to-year growth was due to an increased volume of
services provided to customers, including volume added through the company's
global expansion into new areas. Strong demand for global software services,
financial printing services and services for book publishers and volume
increases associated with recent acquisitions in new product areas, including
specialty products and special interest magazines, were partially offset by the
negative effects of a stronger dollar (lower translation of foreign revenues,
particularly those of the company's U.K. operations) and lower catalog volume
primarily associated with the decision by Sears, Roebuck & Co., a customer, to
discontinue its catalog operations.
Gross profit grew at a greater rate than net sales, 6.3%, reflecting better
coverage of fixed costs through higher volume, a more favorable mix of sales
and a favorable LIFO inventory credit. Earnings from operations included a $90
million restructuring charge recorded during the first quarter (an after-tax
charge of $0.39 per share) related primarily to the closing of the company's
Chicago manufacturing facility following the decision by Sears to discontinue
its catalog operations. Excluding this charge, earnings from operations would
have been $415.6 million, a 2.5% increase over the prior year, reflecting the
gross profit improvement
10
partially offset by higher selling and administrative expenses (10.1% increase)
resulting primarily from the additional costs associated with newly acquired
and start-up operations and the expansion of the company's global sales
presence.
The $4.6 million increase in total other expense-net resulted from higher
interest expense (higher outstanding debt balances due to recent acquisitions,
investments in joint ventures and additional VEBA funding for employee
benefits) and increased expenses associated with life insurance programs, which
were partially offset by improved earnings on investments.
The 1993 provision for income taxes included the one-time effect of the new,
higher federal statutory income tax rate on deferred taxes, which reduced net
income $6.2 million (equivalent to $0.04 per share); excluding this one-time
charge, the 1993 effective tax rate of 33.1% would have been lower than the
1992 rate of 35.0%, reflecting the benefits associated with life insurance
programs and credits associated with affordable housing investments, partially
offset by the impact of the higher federal statutory income tax rate on current
year earnings ($2.8 million). Net income from operations before cumulative
effects of accounting changes reflected the restructuring charge and increased
selling and administrative expenses partially offset by the favorable factors
discussed above with respect to gross profit. Excluding the restructuring
charge and deferred income tax charge, net income from operations before
cumulative effects of accounting changes would have been $245.9 million
(equivalent to $1.59 per common share).
During the first quarter of 1993, the company adopted two new accounting
standards for postretirement benefits and income taxes. The one-time charge for
postretirement benefits, net of associated tax benefits of $80.1 million, was
$127.7 million (equivalent to $0.82 per share). Ongoing annual expense
increases resulting from this new accounting requirement have been mitigated
through an investment program to partially prefund the related postretirement
liabilities. Nevertheless, in 1993, the new accounting standard for
postretirement benefits resulted in additional expenses which reduced operating
income by $0.05 per share. The new accounting standard for income taxes
resulted in a one-time credit of $58.2 million (equivalent to $0.37 per share).
As discussed above, the new income tax standard also required the company to
increase its 1993 income tax provision by $6.2 million. This new standard will
not have an ongoing material effect as long as statutory income tax rates
remain at current levels.
COMPARISON OF 1992 WITH 1991
The growth in net sales (7.1% higher than 1991) is represented by an
increased volume of services provided to customers, including volume added
through the company's global expansion into new markets. A large portion of
this increase was due to the introduction of new products by documentation
services customers and the strong demand for financial printing services
resulting from favorable capital market conditions in 1992.
Gross profit grew at a greater rate than net sales, 12.5%, reflecting several
factors: higher volume, a more favorable mix of sales, improved productivity
and cost control, lower start-up costs and a LIFO inventory credit. Higher
depreciation expense, increased reserve provisions and expenses related to the
companywide stock purchase plan and incentive compensation plans partially
offset the favorable factors. Selling and administrative expenses increased
13.4% over 1991 as a result of higher volume-related commission expenses, a
higher provision for doubtful accounts receivable, the increased costs of
expanding the company's global sales presence and expenses related to the
companywide stock purchase plan and incentive compensation plans. Earnings from
operations also grew at a rate greater than net sales, 11.7%, reflecting the
gross profit improvement partially offset by the higher selling and
administrative expenses.
The $1.5 million increase in total other expense-net resulted from lower
interest expense (lower interest rates and outstanding debt balances) which was
more than offset by start-up expenses associated with recent international and
domestic joint venture investments. The effective tax rate of 35.0% in 1992 was
lower than the 36.0% in 1991 reflecting the benefits associated with a life
insurance program. Net income for the full year increased 14.5%, as a
consequence of the net favorable factors discussed above.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Consolidated Balance Sheet presents the company's financial position at
the end of each of the last two years. The statement lists the company's assets
and liabilities, and the equity of its shareholders. Major changes in the
company's financial position are summarized in the Consolidated Statement of
Cash Flows which appears on page F-4. The Cash Flows Statement summarizes the
changes in the Company's cash and equivalents balance for each of the last
three years and helps to show the relationship between operations (presented in
the Consolidated Statement of Income) and liquidity and financial resources
(presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet).
With the growth in cash flow and the credit facilities and shelf registration
discussed below, management believes the company has the financial flexibility
to fund current operations and growth. In 1993, net income from operations
before cumulative effect of accounting changes plus depreciation and
amortization represented $453.7 million of the net cash provided by operating
activities. Excluding the restructuring charge and the charge related to the
impact of higher income tax rates on deferred income tax balances, net income
from operations before cumulative effect of accounting changes plus
depreciation and amortization would have been $520.7 million, compared to
$492.8 million in 1992. Cash flow from operations was used primarily to fund
capital investments and pay dividends.
The company's working capital continued to be adequate for the operation and
expansion of the business. Working capital--particularly cash, accounts
receivable and inventories--is closely controlled and continually monitored.
Emphasis continues on overall balance sheet management. Working capital
increased by $14.6 million from December 31, 1992, due to working capital
balances of newly acquired businesses, the additional funding of the Voluntary
Employee's Beneficiary Associations, increase in inventory resulting from the
reduced LIFO reserve, as well as increased inventory quantities to support
revenue growth and the reclassification of short-term debt (which reflects
management's estimate of near-term repayments). Other noncurrent liabilities
and deferred income tax balances at December 31, 1993 reflect the impacts of
the adoption of new accounting standards for postretirement benefits and income
taxes. A valuation allowance has not been provided on deferred tax asset
balances due to the company's projection of future taxable income (supported by
existing long-term customer contracts that are expected to provide future
revenues and earnings) in excess of such tax assets.
In 1993, capital expenditures totaled $307 million ($228 million in 1992) and
an additional $178 million ($84 million in 1992) was invested in various
acquisitions and joint ventures. This capital investment reflects the company's
continued program to expand and upgrade operations, including new equipment and
operations to meet the growing needs of present and new customers. The
expenditures were financed by internally generated funds and the issuance of
debt. Management currently estimates capital investment in 1994 will be
approximately $375 million, and, once again, capital investment will be
substantially financed through operating cash flows. Other expenditures in 1994
are expected to be in line with the growth in sales, earnings and cash flows.
At December 31, 1993, the company had revolving credit facilities totaling
$550 million with a number of banks (see the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements). These credit facilities provide support for the issuance of
commercial paper and other credit needs. Under an effective shelf registration,
in January, 1993, the company issued $110 million of 7.0% (7.2% effective rate
after consideration of placement costs and discounts) notes due January, 2003.
As of December 31, 1993, the company had effective shelf registration
statements permitting it to issue, from time to time, up to $500 million in
additional debt securities.

R.R. DONNELLEY & SONS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Consolidation--
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the company and
its subsidiaries. Intercompany items and transactions are eliminated in
consolidation.
Nature of Operations--
The operations of the company are in the information industry. The company
produces a wide variety of print and print-related services for specific
customers, virtually always under contract. Some contracts provide for progress
payments from customers as certain phases of the work are completed; however,
revenue is not recognized until the production process has been completed in
accordance with the terms of the contracts. Some customers furnish paper for
their work, while in other cases the company purchases and sells the paper.
International operations represent less than 9% of consolidated results and of
consolidated assets.
Cash and Equivalents--
The company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with
original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Inventories--
Inventories include material, labor and factory overhead and are
substantially carried at Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) cost. This method reflects
the effect of inventory replacement costs in earnings; accordingly, charges to
cost of sales reflect recent costs of material, labor and factory overhead.
Foreign Currency Translation--
Gains and losses arising from the translation of the company's international
subsidiaries' financial statements are reflected in Retained Earnings.
Net Income Per Share of Common Stock--
Net income per share is computed on the basis of average shares outstanding
during each year. No material dilution would result if effect were given to the
exercise of outstanding stock options and the vesting of stock units.
Benefit Plans--
The company's Retirement Benefit Plan (the Plan) is a non-contributory
defined benefit plan covering substantially all employees. Normal retirement
age is 65 but provision is made for earlier retirement. As required, the
company uses the projected unit credit actuarial cost method to determine
pension cost for financial reporting purposes. In conjunction with this method,
the company amortizes deferred gains and losses (using the corridor method),
prior service costs and the transition credit (the excess of Plan assets plus
balance sheet accruals over the projected obligation, as of January 1, 1987)
over 19 years, representing the average remaining service life of its active
employee population. For tax and funding purposes, the attained age normal
actuarial cost method is used. Compared to the projected unit credit method,
the attained age normal method attributes a greater proportion of the total
retirement obligation to an employee's early years of service.

Capitalization, Depreciation and Amortization--
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed
principally on the straight-line method. Maintenance and repair costs are
charged to expense as incurred. Major overhauls are capitalized as reductions
to accumulated depreciation. When properties are retired or disposed, the costs
and related depreciation reserves are eliminated and the resulting profit or
loss is recognized in income. Goodwill and other intangible assets are
amortized principally over periods ranging from 10 to 40 years.
Income Taxes--
Deferred income taxes relate principally to the use of accelerated
depreciation methods for tax reporting purposes, the investment in safe harbor
leases, pension costs, net postretirement medical and death benefit costs and
contributions to fund the Voluntary Employees' Beneficiary Associations
(VEBAs).
RESTRUCTURING CHARGE
On January 25, 1993, Sears Roebuck and Co., a customer, announced its
decision to discontinue catalog operations during 1993. In response to Sears'
announcement, the company incurred a one-time charge of $60.8 million (net of
the associated tax benefit) in the first quarter of 1993. The charge primarily
covered the costs associated with closing the company's manufacturing facility
in Chicago, Illinois, where the company printed the Sears catalogs. The loss of
this work will have no ongoing material effect on operating results.
INVENTORIES
The components of the company's inventories as of December 31, 1993 and 1992,

VOLUNTARY EMPLOYEES' BENEFICIARY ASSOCIATIONS
The company maintains two Voluntary Employees' Beneficiary Associations to
fund employee welfare benefits and postretirement medical and death benefits.
The balances of the VEBAs (net of associated liabilities) in the accompanying
Consolidated Balance Sheet are classified as either current or noncurrent
depending on the ultimate expected payment date of the underlying liabilities.
As of December 31, 1993, a net current asset of $9.8 million was included in
Prepaid Assets representing the current position of the company's employee
welfare benefit plans funded by one of the VEBAs ($33.2 million included in
Other Accrued Liabilities at December 31, 1992). The VEBA established to
partially fund the company's liability for postretirement medical and death
benefits ($135 million at December 31, 1993) is included in other noncurrent
liabilities as an offset to the related liability. (The initial VEBA fund of
$104 million was recorded as a Noncurrent Asset at December 31, 1992). For
additional information, refer to the notes on "Other Retirement Benefits."

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Authorized expenditures on incomplete projects for the purchase of property,
plant and equipment, as of December 31, 1993, totaled $418.8 million. Of this
total, $143.9 million has been paid and an additional $120.7 million has been
committed for payment upon completion of the contracts. The company has a
variety of commitments with suppliers for the purchase of paper, ink and other
materials for delivery in future years at prevailing market prices.
The company has operating lease commitments approximating $390.2 million
extending through various periods to 2066. The lease commitment is $60.8
million for 1994, and ranges from $26.8 million to $47.4 million in each of the
years 1995-1998 and totals $186.1 million for future periods.
The company does not believe an accounts receivable credit risk exists due to
the diversity of industry classification, distribution channels and geographic
location of its customers. In addition, the company is a party to certain
litigation (other than the FTC matter described below) arising in the ordinary
course of business which, in the opinion of management, will not have a
material adverse effect on the operations of the company. The company also has
future annual commitments to invest in various affordable housing limited
partnerships which provide annual tax benefits and credits in amounts greater
than the annual investments.
The company has appealed a recent decision in the Federal Trade Commission
(FTC) challenge to the company's 1990 acquisition of the Meredith/Burda
companies. An FTC administrative law judge found the acquisition has or may
substantially lessen competition in an alleged "high-volume publication gravure
printing" market and ordered the divestiture of the Meredith/Burda companies.
The company's appeal has the effect of staying the divestiture order. The
ruling is contrary to an earlier ruling by a Federal District Court which
allowed the acquisition to be consummated. Company management continues to
believe this acquisition was legally proper.

(7.8% at December 31, 1992 and December 31, 1991), an expected long-term rate
of return on Plan assets of 9.5% and annual salary increases of 5%.
Plan assets include primarily government and corporate debt securities and

In the event of Plan termination, the Plan provides that no funds can revert
to the company and any excess assets over Plan liabilities must be used to fund
retirement benefits.
OTHER RETIREMENT BENEFITS
In addition to pension benefits, the company provides certain health care and
life insurance benefits for retired employees. Substantially all of the
company's domestic, full-time employees become eligible for those benefits upon
reaching age 55 while working for the company and having ten years continuous
service at retirement. Beginning in 1992, the company began a program to
partially fund the liabilities associated with these plans through a tax-exempt
trust. The trust is invested in various assets, primarily life insurance
covering some of the company's employees.
Effective January 1, 1993, the company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 106 (SFAS 106), "Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions." SFAS 106 requires companies to
charge to expense the expected costs of postretirement health care and life
insurance (and similar benefits) during the years that the employees render
service. Previously, such costs were expensed as actual claims were paid (cash
basis). The company elected to immediately recognize the transition obligation
for future benefits to be paid related to past employee services, resulting in
a noncash charge of $207.8 million before deferred income tax benefits ($127.7
million after-tax or $0.82 per share) that represents the cumulative effect of
the change in accounting for the years prior to 1993.

========= =========
For financial reporting purposes the 1993 actuarial computations assumed a
discount rate of 7.5% to determine the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation, an expected long-term rate of return on plan assets of 9.0% and a
health care cost trend rate of 8.4% initially, declining gradually to 5.4% in
2053, to measure the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation.
Effective January 1, 1993, certain features of the plan were amended. For
future retirees, the company introduced retiree cost-sharing and implemented
programs intended to stem rising costs. Also, the company has adopted a
provision which limits its future obligation to absorb health care cost
inflation. The features of the new plan provisions have been reflected in the
assumed health care cost trend rate disclosed above. However, a one-percentage-
point increase in the assumed health care cost trend rate would increase the
1993 postretirement benefit expense (service cost and interest cost) by $1.6
million and the accumulated postretirement benefit obligations as of December
31, 1993 by $10.4 million.
INCOME TAXES
Effective January 1, 1993, the company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109), "Accounting for Income Taxes." SFAS
109 requires, among other things, the application of current statutory income
tax rates to deferred income tax balances. In the first quarter of 1993, the
company recognized the cumulative effect, through January 1, 1993, of the
accounting change, reflecting the difference between current statutory tax
rates and the generally higher rates that were used to establish the deferred
income tax balances, resulting in noncash income of $58.2 million (equivalent
to $0.37 per share).

Based upon the interest rates currently available to the company for
borrowings with similar terms and maturities, the fair value of the company's
debt is approximately $788 million. The company's debentures are not actively
traded and contain no call provisions. The company's other financial
instruments are either carried at fair value or do not materially differ from
fair value.
At December 31, 1993, the company had available credit facilities of $550
with a group of domestic and foreign banks. The credit arrangements provide
support for the issuance of commercial paper and other credit needs. Borrowings
under the facilities (none during the past three years) bear interest at
various rates not exceeding the banks' prime rates. The company pays annual
fees ranging from 0.1% to 0.15% on the total unused credit facilities.
At December 31, 1993, the company had $233.0 million of commercial paper and
short-term debt outstanding, of which $37.4 million represents management's
current estimate of 1994 net repayment. The remaining $195.6 million is
classified as long term since the company has the ability and intent to
maintain such debt on a long term basis. The weighted average interest rate on
all commercial paper debt outstanding during 1993 was 3.2% (3.3% at December
31, 1993).

STOCK AND INCENTIVE PROGRAMS FOR MANAGEMENT EMPLOYEES
Stock Unit Awards and Restricted Stock Awards--At December 31, 1993 and 1992,
the company had outstanding 80,000 and 171,000 stock units, respectively, which
had been granted to officers and selected managers prior to 1990. Certain of
these units are payable upon or subsequent to termination of employment and
others are payable upon vesting, normally five years after the date of grant.
Payment of these awards will be made in shares of common stock equal to the
number of units awarded, in cash equal to the market value at the date of
distribution, or a combination thereof, at the company's option. The expense
for these grants was recognized in the year granted. When an award of stock
units is paid, the recipient will receive an additional amount in cash equal to
dividends paid on an equivalent number of shares of common stock during the
vesting period, plus interest. The values of the dividends and interest
accounts, were $232 thousand and $409 thousand at December 31, 1993 and 1992,
respectively.
At December 31, 1993 and 1992, the company had outstanding 275,000 and
223,000, respectively, restricted shares granted to certain officers. These
shares are registered in the names of the recipients, but are subject to
conditions of forfeiture and restrictions on sale or transfer for five years
from the grant date. Dividends on the restricted shares are paid currently to
the recipients and, accordingly, the restricted shares are treated as
outstanding shares. The expense of the grant is recognized evenly over the
vesting period.
The value of the stock units and restricted stock awards was $11.0 million
and $12.9 million based upon the closing price of the company's stock price at
each year end ($31.13 and $32.75 at December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively).
Charges to expense for both stock plans were $1.1 million, $1.2 million, and
$0.9 million in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
Stock Purchase Plan--
The company has a stock purchase plan for selected managers and key staff
employees. Under the plan, the company is required to contribute an amount
equal to 70% of participants' contributions, of which 50% is applied to the
purchase of stock and 20% is paid in cash. The number of shares required for
the plan for the year 1993 will depend upon the extent to which eligible
participants subscribe during the subscription period in the first quarter of
1994 and the price of the stock on March 16, 1994. Amounts charged to expense
for this plan were $6.2 million in 1993 and $5.8 million in 1992. No amounts
were charged to expense for the 1991 plan year since participation was not
allowed according to the plan terms because the company's earnings did not meet
the required performance goal under the plan.
Incentive Compensation Plans--
The company has incentive compensation plans covering selected officers.
Amounts charged to expense for supplementary compensation, which is determined
from participants' base salaries and factors relating to various performance
measures, were $2.6 million in 1993, $2.7 million in 1992 and $0.7 million in
1991.
Stock Options--
The company has granted stock options annually from 1983 to 1993. Exercise
prices are 100% of the market price of common stock on the date of grant. The
options vest over four or five years and may be exercised, once vested, up to
ten years from the date of grant. Under the 1991 Stock Incentive Plan, a
maximum of 2.9 million shares were available for future grants of stock options
and restricted stock awards as of December 31, 1993. Information relating to
stock options for the years ended December 31 is shown on the following table.

Other Information--
Under the stock programs, authorized unissued shares or treasury shares may
be used. If authorized unissued shares are used, not more than 11.3 million
shares may be issued in the aggregate. The company intends to reacquire shares
of its common stock to meet the stock requirements of these programs in the
future.
EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN
Contributions to the company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan were
discontinued in response to the change in tax law that eliminated the
previously available tax credit. Under this plan, 1.2 million shares are held
in trust as of December 31, 1993, for formerly eligible employees. There are no
charges to operations for this plan, except for certain administrative
expenses.
STOCK SPLIT
On July 23, 1992, the Board of Directors declared a 2-for-1 common stock
split. The split was completed on September 1, 1992, by the distribution of one
share of common stock, par value $1.25 per share, for each share held by
stockholders of record on August 7, 1992. Information relating to stock
options, stock units rights, reacquired common stock, the Shareholders Rights
Plan, and the net income and dividends per share included in the Consolidated
Financial Statements and related footnotes reflect the stock split.
PREFERRED STOCK
The company has two million shares of $1.00 par value preferred stock
authorized for issuance. The Board of Directors may divide the preferred stock
into one or more series and fix the redemption, dividend, voting, conversion,
sinking fund, liquidation and other rights. The company has no present plans to
issue any preferred stock. One million of the shares are reserved for issuance
under the Shareholder Rights Plan discussed below.
SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN
The company maintains a Shareholder Rights Plan (the Plan) designed to deter
coercive or unfair takeover tactics, to prevent a person or group from gaining
control of the company without offering fair value to all shareholders and to
deter other abusive takeover tactics which are not in the best interest of
shareholders.
Under the terms of the Plan, each share of common stock is accompanied by
one-quarter of a right; each full right entitles the shareholder to purchase
from the company, one one-hundredth of a newly issued share of Series A Junior
Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $225.
F-14
R.R. DONNELLEY & SONS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONCLUDED)
The rights become exercisable ten days after a public announcement that an
acquiring person (as defined in the Plan) has acquired 20% or more of the
outstanding common stock of the company (the Stock Acquisition Date) or ten
days after the commencement of a tender offer of which would result in a person
owning 30% or more of such shares. The company can redeem the rights for $.05
per right at any time until twenty days following the Stock Acquisition Date
(the 20-day period can be shortened or lengthened by the company). The rights
will expire on August 8, 1996 unless redeemed earlier by the company.
If, subsequent to the rights becoming exercisable, the company is acquired in
a merger or other business combination at any time when there is a 20% or more
holder, the rights will then entitle a holder to buy shares of the acquiring
company with a market value equal to twice the exercise price of each right.
Alternatively, if a 20% holder acquires the company by means of a merger in
which the company and its stock survives, or if any person acquires 30% or more
of the company's common stock, each right not owned by a 20% or more
shareholder, would become exercisable for common stock of the company (or, in
certain circumstances, other consideration) having a market value equal to
twice the exercise price of the right.
ACQUISITIONS
The company made several acquisitions, joint venture and equity investments
in 1993, 1992 and 1991, none of which, either individually or in the aggregate,
were material to the company's financial statements. The acquisitions were
accounted for using the purchase method; accordingly, the assets and
liabilities of the acquired entities have been recorded at their estimated fair
values at their respective dates of acquisition.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Stockholders of
R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of R. R.
Donnelley & Sons Company (a Delaware corporation) and Subsidiaries as of
December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related consolidated statements of income,
shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years ended December
31, 1993. 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 generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of R. R. Donnelley & Sons Company
and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years ended December 31,
1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
As explained in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, effective
January 1, 1993, the company changed its method of accounting for
postretirement benefits other than pensions and its method of accounting for
income taxes.
