Item 8.01. Other Events
During the first quarter of 2005, the management of R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company (the “Company”) changed the Company’s reportable segments to reflect the new structure of the organization and the manner in which the chief operating decision maker regularly assesses information for decision-making purposes, including the allocation of resources. As a result, the Company’s book, European and Asian operations have been reported in the Publishing and Retail Services segment (previously reported in the Integrated Print Communications segment). The Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 describes the Company’s new segment structure.
The Company is re-issuing its historical financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations to reclassify all prior periods to conform to this current reporting structure. This Current Report on Form 8-K updates and supercedes Part I, Item 1, Part II, Item 7 and Part IV, Item 15(a)1 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, and all other items in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K remain unchanged.
The financial information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K is presented as of December 31, 2004, and other than as indicated above, has not been updated to reflect financial results subsequent to that date.
