NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006
(Tabular amounts are expressed in millions of US dollars, except per share and option amounts)
(Unaudited)
1.
|
|
Basis of Presentation
|
|
|
|
The consolidated financial statements included in this report are unaudited and reflect normal
and recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of the Company, considered necessary for a
fair presentation. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity
with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (Canadian GAAP). The same accounting
policies as described in the Companys latest Annual Report have been used, except changes
described in Note 2. However, these consolidated financial statements do not include all
disclosures required under Canadian GAAP and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Companys latest
Annual Report.
|
|
|
|
Seasonality
|
|
|
|
The operations of the Companys business are seasonal, with the majority of historical
operating income recognized in the second half of the fiscal year, primarily as a result of
the higher number of magazine pages, new product launches and back-to-school, retail and
holiday catalog promotions. Within any year, the seasonality could adversely affect the
Companys cash flow and results of operations on a quarterly basis.
|
|
|
|
Comparative figures
|
|
|
|
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the
current period.
|
|

|
|
Change in Accounting Policies Financial Instruments
|
|
|
|
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the Canadian Institute of Chartered
Accountants (CICA) Handbook Section 1530, Comprehensive Income, Section 3855, Financial
Instruments Recognition and Measurement and Section 3865, Hedges. Changes in accounting
policies in conformity with these new accounting standards are as follows:
|
|
(a)
|
|
Comprehensive income
|
|
|
|
|
Section 1530 introduces the concept of comprehensive income, which is calculated by
including other comprehensive income with net income. Other comprehensive income
represents changes in shareholders equity arising from transactions and other events with
non-owner sources such as unrealized gains and losses on financial assets classified as
available-for-sale, changes in translation adjustment of self-sustaining foreign
operations and changes in the fair value of the effective portion of cash flow hedging
instruments. With the adoption of this section, the consolidated financial statements now
include consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The comparative statements were
restated solely to include the translation adjustment of self-sustaining foreign
operations as provided by transition rules.
|
|
|
(b)
|
|
Financial instruments
|
|
|
|
|
Section 3855 establishes standards for recognizing and measuring financial assets,
financial liabilities and derivatives. Under this standard, financial instruments are now
classified as held-for-trading, available-for-sale, held-to-maturity, loans and
receivables, or other financial liabilities and measurement in subsequent periods depends
on their classification. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred for financial
instruments classified as held-for-trading. For other financial instruments, transaction
costs are capitalized on initial recognition and presented as a reduction of the
underlying financial instruments. Financial assets and financial liabilities
held-for-trading are measured at fair value with changes recognized in income.
Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value or at cost, in the case of
financial assets that do not have a quoted market price in an active market, and changes
in fair value are recorded in comprehensive income.
|
|
|
|
|
Financial assets held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, and other financial liabilities
are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method of amortization. The
Company has classified its restricted and unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and
temporary investments as held for trading. Trade receivables, receivables from related
parties, loans and other long-term receivables included in other assets were classified as
loans and receivable. Portfolio investments were classified as available for sale. All of
the Companys financial liabilities were classified as other financial liabilities.

|
Change in Accounting Policies Financial Instruments (contd)
|
|
(b)
|
|
Financial instruments (contd)
|
|
|
|
|
Derivative instruments are recorded as financial assets or liabilities at fair value,
including those derivatives that are embedded in financial or non-financial contracts that
are not closely related to the host contracts. Changes in the fair values of derivatives
are recognized in financial expenses with the exception of derivatives designated in a
cash flow hedge for which hedge accounting is used. In accordance with the new standards,
the Company selected January 1, 2003 as its transition date for adopting this standard
related to embedded derivatives.
|
|
|
(c)
|
|
Hedges
|
|
|
|
|
Section 3865 specifies the criteria that must be satisfied in order for hedge accounting
to be applied and the accounting for each of the permitted hedging strategies.
|
|
|
|
|
Accordingly, for derivatives designated as fair value hedges, such as certain cross
currency interest rate swaps used by the Company, changes in the fair value of the hedging
derivative recorded in income are substantially offset by changes in the fair value of the
hedged item to the extent that the hedging relationship is effective. When a fair value
hedge is discontinued, the carrying value of the hedged item is no longer adjusted and the
cumulative fair value adjustments to the carrying value of the hedged item are amortized
to income over the remaining term of the original hedging relationship.
|
|
|
|
|
For derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, such as certain commodity swaps
and forward exchange contracts used by the Company, the effective portion of a hedge is
reported in other comprehensive income until it is recognized in income during the same
period in which the hedged item affects income, while the ineffective portion is
immediately recognized in the consolidated statement of income. When a cash flow hedge is
discontinued, the amounts previously recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income
are reclassified to income when the variability in the cash flows of the hedged item
affects income.
|
|
|
Upon adoption of these new sections, the transition rules require that the Company adjust
either the opening retained earnings or accumulated other comprehensive income as if the new
rules had always been applied in the past, without restating comparative figures of prior
years. Accordingly, the following adjustments were recorded in the consolidated financial
statements as at January 1, 2007:
|
|
|
|
Decrease of other assets by $24.3 million
|
|
|
|
|
Decrease in trade payable and accrued liabilities by $0.6
million
|
|
|
|
|
Increase of other liabilities by $18.9 million
|
|
|
|
|
Decrease of long-term debt by $27.6 million
|
|
|
|
|
Decrease of future income tax liabilities by $7.1 million
|
|
|
|
|
Decrease of retained earnings by $2.2 million
|
|
|
|
|
Decrease of accumulated other comprehensive income by $5.7 million
|
|
|
Finally, the adoption of the new standards had no material impact on net income in 2007.

Impairment of assets
|
|
|
|
In the third quarter of 2007, the Company concluded that some long-lived assets were impaired
and recorded an impairment charge on long-lived assets, in facilities in North America and
Europe, of $128.0 million mainly on machinery and equipment. This charge was a result of
impairment tests being triggered in North America, because of the retooling plan and the
relocation of existing presses into fewer, but larger and more efficient facilities. In Europe,
the impairment test was triggered by the sale and merger of the European operations. For the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, the Company recorded impairment charges related to
long-lived assets in North America and in Europe totaling $155.8 million mainly on machinery
and equipment.

2007 restructuring initiatives
During the third quarter of 2007, there were no new restructuring initiatives. The restructuring
charge incurred in the third quarter was related to previous 2007 quarter initiatives. In the
second quarter of 2007, there was a restructuring initiative in North America related to the
closure of the Vancouver, BC facility (Canada). In addition, in the first quarter of 2007, there
were restructuring initiatives in North America related to the closure of the Lincoln, NE facility
(Magazine group) and the Phoenix, AZ facility (Retail group). There were also various headcount
reductions across North America and Europe. These initiatives are expected to be completed by the
end of 2007 with a total cost of $28.4 million of which $14.1 million is for workforce reduction
and $14.3 million for lease and closed facilities.

The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment testing in the third quarter of 2007. Taking
into account financial information such as the sale and merger of the European operations (Note
18), management determined that the carrying value of goodwill for its European reporting unit was
not recoverable and that the resulting impairment of such goodwill amounted to its entire carrying
value of $166.0 million at September 30, 2007. The Company also concluded that the goodwill for its
North America and Latin America segments was fully recoverable and will continue to monitor these
segments for indicators of potential impairment.

In September 2007, the Company finalized new terms for its syndicated Revolving bank facility.
As part of the new agreement, the Company has agreed to reduce its facility from $1 billion to
$750.0 million in October 2007, of which a portion will be secured by a lien on assets in an amount
of $135.6 million. The amendment also includes a commitment to reduce the facility to $500.0
million by July 1, 2008 and includes certain restrictions on the use of proceeds, terms of
repayment and certain restrictive covenants, including the obligation to maintain certain financial
ratios.
|
|
|
|
The Revolving bank facility bears interest at variable rates base on Bankers Acceptances,
LIBOR or prime rates. At September 30, 2007, $173.1 million was drawn on the facility.
|
|
(b)
|
|
In September 2007, the Company announced that it will call for redemption all of its
outstanding Senior Notes (8.42%, 8.52%, 8.54% and 8.69%) on October 29, 2007 for a redemption price
of 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes, plus the accrued and unpaid interest on
the Notes to the redemption date plus the applicable prepayment premium amount of $53.1 million due
on the redemption date. The Notes were classified as long-term debt, since the Company intends to
draw on its syndicated Revolving bank credit facility for the financing of this transaction.
|
|
(c)
|
|
In October 2007, the credit facility will be secured by a lien on assets in an amount of $34.4
million.

100.6% of the outstanding principal amount of $119.5 million, plus accrued and unpaid interest
at the redemption date. The additional amount paid on redemption of the Convertible Notes was
a premium of $0.7 million recorded as financing expenses. A loss of $0.6 million relating to
the debt component was recorded as financing expenses and a gain of $15.9 million relating to
the equity component was transferred from contributed surplus to retained earnings, both due
to the difference between the net book value and the fair value of the components.

In 2006, the Company modified its defined benefit plans for certain employees in Canada and
in the United States, and created a defined contribution Group Registered Retirement Savings
Plan (Group RRSP) for employees in Canada. As of October 1, 2006, affected employees in
Canada had the choice to adhere to the Group RRSP, or to continue to participate in the
modified plan, while future employees automatically adhere to the new Group RRSP. For
employees in the United States, one of the defined benefit plans was frozen on October 1,
2006, and an improved defined contribution plan has been offered to employees. A net
curtailment gain of $1.7 million was recorded in relation with these changes for the first
nine months of 2006.

Merger of the European operations Revised
|
|
|
|
On November 7, 2007, the Company announced a sale and merger of its European operations with
Roto Smeets De Boer NV (RSDB). The new merged entity will be named Roto Smeets Quebecor
(RSQ) and will remain listed on Euronext Amsterdam. Under the terms of the merger agreement,
the proceeds are estimated at 240 million, subject to certain post closing adjustments.
The consideration for the Company will be comprised of 150 million in cash, approximately
1.4 million shares in RSDB whereby the Company will acquire a 29.9% stake in the combined
business and a 35 million 8-year note receivable from RSQ repayable from 2011 to 2015. The
net cash proceeds of approximately 150 million will be used by the Company to repay debt.
The merger would create the largest independent European gravure and offset printing company
and is conditional on the approval of the shareholders of RSDB and receipt of clearance from
the European Commission, with closing expected to take place by the end of 2007. This
transaction could result in an estimated loss on disposal of $170 million before and
cumulative translation adjustment impact. Following this transaction, the basis of accounting
for the investment in RSQ will be the equity method.

Trade receivables
|
|
|
|
Due to recent DBRS credit rating downgrades, the Company obtained a waiver of certain
covenants until October 15, 2007, at which point the Company commenced the amortization
process set out in the agreement governing the Canadian securitization program. By virtue of
the amortization process, the Company continues to service past receivables sold under the
program, but no additional receivables or related ownership interest is sold to the Trust. On
October 24, 2007, the Company amended its U.S. program to include receivables generated by
its Canadian operations (now a North American program) and thus ended the Canadian program.
In order to conclude the revised arrangement, CA$23.6 million ($24.3 million) of receivables
which remained outstanding were repurchased under the Canadian program. On October 24, 2007,
due to the inclusion of the Canadian receivables, the amount outstanding under the North
American program has increased by $72.0 million. The amount outstanding under the Canadian
program was CA$47.0 million ($47.2 million) as at September 30, 2007.
In October 2007, the Company signed an agreement to commence the amortization process of its
European securitization program. As of that date, the Company continues to service past
receivables sold under the program, but no additional receivables or related ownership
interest is sold to the Trust. The Company does not anticipate that any amounts sold under
the European program will remain outstanding by the end of 2007 and management intends to
replace the facility with an alternate financing source.

Property sold to a company under common control
|
|
|
|
On October 11, 2007, the Company sold a property to a company under common control, Quebecor
Media Inc., for consideration of CA$62.5 million ($64.0 million). Simultaneously, the Company
entered into a long-term lease over a term of 17 years with Quebecor Media Inc., to rent a
portion of the property sold. Consideration for the two transactions was settled by a cash
receipt of CA$43.9 million ($44.9 million) on the date of the transactions and the Company
assumed a net balance of sale, including interest, of CA$7.0 million ($7.2 million) receivable
in 2013.

Percentage for fixed dividend rate on Series 3 Preferred Shares
|
|
|
|
On October 15, 2007, the Company announced that the fixed dividend rate for its Series 3
Cumulative Redeemable First Preferred Shares will be equal to 150% of the yield on five-year
non-callable Government of Canada bonds to be determined on November 9, 2007. Holders of the
Series 3 Preferred Shares will also have the right to convert all or any number of their
shares effective as of December 1, 2007, on a one-for-one basis, into Series 2 Cumulative
Redeemable First Preferred Shares.
|
|
|
|
Operating leases
|
|
|
|
On October 11, 2007, the Company purchased machinery and equipment under operating lease for a
cash consideration of $32.5 million. The amount recorded in machinery and equipment will be
net of a provision of $2.6 million, since the fair value of the equipment is lower than the
residual value guarantee.

INTRODUCTION
The following is a discussion of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of
Quebecor World Inc. (the Company or Quebecor World) for the three-month and nine-month periods
ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, and it should be read together with the Companys corresponding
interim Consolidated Financial Statements and the 2006 annual Managements Discussion and Analysis
(MD&A). The interim Consolidated Financial Statements and MD&A have been reviewed by the
Companys Audit Committee and approved by its Board of Directors. This discussion contains
forward-looking information that is qualified by reference to, and should be read together with,
the discussion regarding forward-looking statements that is part of this MD&A. Management
determines whether or not information is material based on whether it believes a reasonable
investors decision to buy, sell or hold securities in the Company would likely be influenced or
changed if the information were omitted or misstated.
A complete review of Quebecor Worlds profile and strategy can be found in the Overview section
of the Companys 2006 annual MD&A.
Presentation of financial information
Financial data has been prepared in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting
principles (Canadian GAAP).
The Company reports on certain non-GAAP measures that are used by management to evaluate
performance of business segments. These measures used in this discussion and analysis do not have
any standardized meaning under Canadian GAAP, although management believes that such measures are
meaningful and helpful to understanding the Companys affairs, operations and results. When used,
these measures are defined in such terms as to allow the reconciliation to the closest Canadian
GAAP measure. Numerical reconciliations are provided in Figures 5 and 6. It is unlikely that these
measures could be compared to similar measures presented by other companies.
The Companys reporting currency is the U.S. dollar, and its functional currency is the Canadian
dollar.
Forward-looking statements
This MD&A includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. All
statements other than statements of historical facts included in this MD&A, including statements
regarding the prospects of the industry, and prospects, plans, financial position and business
strategy of the Company, may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S.
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Canadian securities legislation and
regulations. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking
terminology such as may, will, expect, intend, estimate, anticipate, plan, foresee,
believe or continue or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar
terminology. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking
statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that these expectations will prove to have been
correct. Forward-looking statements do not take into account the effect that transactions or
non-recurring or other
special items announced or occurring after the statements are made have on the Companys business.
For example, they do not include the effect of dispositions, acquisitions, other business
transactions, asset write-downs or other charges announced or occurring after forward-looking
statements are made. Investors and others are cautioned that undue reliance should not be placed on
any forward-looking statements.
For more information on the risks, uncertainties and assumptions that would cause the Companys
actual results to differ from current expectations, please also refer to the Companys public
filings available at
www.sedar.com
,
www.sec.gov
and
www.quebecorworld.com.
In particular, further
details and descriptions of these and other factors are disclosed in the Risks and uncertainties
related to the Companys business section in the MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2006 and in
the Risk Factors section of the Companys Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31,
2006.
The forward-looking statements in this MD&A reflect the Companys expectations as of November 7,
2007 and are subject to change after this date. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or
intention to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise, unless required by the applicable securities laws.

1. Overall performance and outlook for 2007
|
1.1
|
|
European operations Revised
|
|
|
|
|
On November 7, 2007, Quebecor World announced a sale and merger of its European operations
with Roto Smeets De Boer NV (RSDB). The new merged entity will be named Roto Smeets
Quebecor (RSQ) and will remain listed on Euronext Amsterdam. Under the terms of the
merger agreement, the proceeds are estimated at 240 million, subject to certain post
closing adjustments. The consideration for Quebecor World will be comprised of 150
million in cash, approximately 1.4 million shares in RSDB whereby Quebecor World will
acquire a 29.9% stake in the combined business and a 35 million 8-year note receivable
from RSQ repayable from 2011 to 2015. The net cash proceeds of approximately 150
million will be used by Quebecor World to repay debt. The merger would create the largest
independent European gravure and offset printing company and is conditional on the
approval of the shareholders of RSDB and receipt of clearance from the European
Commission, with closing expected to take place by the end of 2007.
|
|
|
|
|
This merger is a key element of Quebecor Worlds 5-Point Transformation Plan, and should
be a significant benefit for shareholders by reducing debt, and repositioning its risk
profile, while allowing Quebecor World to play a leading role in the consolidation of the
European print industry. The new entity, RSQ, will have a great opportunity to consolidate
the industry, reduce duplicate costs, capture scale synergies and leverage opportunities
in the combined entity. The merger will improve Quebecor Worlds financial position and
provide additional financial flexibility. It will also enable Quebecor World to
strategically reposition itself to focus on growing earnings within its core businesses in
the Americas.
|
|
|
|
|
Quebecor Worlds European operations currently include 18 printing and related facilities
employing approximately 4,000 people in Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Spain, Sweden
and the United Kingdom. Quebecor World Europe (QWE) produces magazines, catalogs, retail
inserts, direct mail products, books and directories for many of the worlds largest
retailers, publishers and branded goods companies.
|
|
|
|
|
RSDB is a leading European provider of high-value graphic printing services based in
Hilversum, the Netherlands with annual revenues of more than 500 million in 2006.
RSDBs principal business, Print Productions, produces full service gravure and offset
printing material, with seven printing facilities in the Netherlands and one printing
facility in Hungary, supported by sales offices in seven European countries. RSDBs
Marketing Communications business focuses on marketing communications solutions and
customer management processes.
|
|
|
|
|
The merger is subject to the following conditions precedent: the approval of RSDBs
shareholders, and certain regulatory clearances (the Conditions Precedent). The
transaction is not subject to the approval of Quebecor Worlds shareholders. Parties have
agreed to provide certain transitional services in the period until the end of 2008 in
order to ensure the smooth transition of QWE and its business from Quebecor World to RSQ.
In the event that the transaction is not completed as a result of a default by one party
(other than as a result of a failure to satisfy the Conditions Precedent or under other
limited circumstances), the defaulting party is obliged to pay the other party a break-up
fee of 15 million.
|
|
|
|
|
The Supervisory Board of Roto Smeets Quebecor will be comprised of five directors. Two out
of five members, including the vice-chairmans role, of the Supervisory Board will be
nominated by Quebecor World. Resolutions of the Supervisory Board are, in general, adopted
by an absolute majority, however, certain predefined corporate decisions, such as
decisions relating to mergers and acquisitions, the issuance of new shares and the change
of the dividend policy, will require a four out of five majority vote for a period of four
years from closing. While QWI and RSDB have agreed that the Management Board of Roto
Smeets Quebecor will be led by current RSDB management, it is expected that QWEs
experienced senior management team will continue to run the operations in each European
country in which it currently operates. The key members of QWEs existing senior
management team have indicated their support for the transaction and their continued
involvement with the combined business. Their local expertise will be a valuable asset in
the new merged company. This merger could result in an estimated loss on disposal of $170
million before cumulative translation adjustment impact. Following this transaction, the
basis of accounting for the investment in RSQ will be the equity method.

|
Third quarter 2007 at a glance
|
|
|
|
Quebecor World continues to build on the initiatives it launched in 2006 with regard to the
Companys Five-Point Transformation Plan. The following was achieved in the third quarter of
2007:
|
Customer Value:
During the third quarter, Quebecor World continued to build the capability
to increase value to customers by expanding its value-added services. For example, Quebecor
World is offering a multi-channel solution to marketers and retailers. This integrated
solution combines the multiple forms of media across Quebecor World, to support customers
as they advertise, improve prospecting, drive store traffic, improve brand awareness and
grow their business. As multi-channel marketers continue to target more focused market
segments, they require a key partner to provide a complete solution that integrates the
multiple channels of catalogs, retail fliers, direct mail, Internet, and other advertising
channels, and Quebecor World is positioning itself to be this key partner. The Company
remains committed to achieve its objective of $300 million in new and higher margin sales,
annual run-rate by year end 2008 from this initiative.
An important aspect of Quebecor Worlds customer value initiative is ensuring customers
receive a quality product delivered on-time, every time. In the quarter, the Companys
focus on quality was recognized by the award of 27 Gold Ink Awards, including 4 gold, 2
silver and 21 pewter awards in the 2007 Gold Ink competition. Now in its 20th year, the
Gold Ink Awards recognizes excellence in print reproduction and is considered one of the
most prestigious and challenging production competitions in the printing industry. In all,
13 Quebecor World facilities were honoured this year demonstrating that Quebecor Worlds
coast-to-coast North American platform provides customers with a unique capability to
fulfill their publishing, marketing and advertising needs.
People:
Quebecor Worlds People initiative is focused on building high performance teams.
During the third quarter of 2007, the Company continued to make progress in training and
organizational development. In addition, the Company added two new members to its
leadership team. Mr. Hughes Bakewell joined as President of the Direct Marketing Business
to support the growth of this attractive business by providing innovative targeted
marketing and advertising solutions to Quebecor Worlds customers. Mr. Ben Schwartz was
appointed as Senior Vice President People and Leadership to provide his expertise in
building high performance teams and help people develop to the best of their abilities. The
Company also continues to make progress in making its plants a safer place to work; with
10% fewer lost time accidents in its North American platform in the third quarter.
Execution:
The Companys continuous improvement program realized great progress in the
quarter, and increased its momentum across the North American platform. A total of 153
individuals have been trained in the Six Sigma/Lean Manufacturing continuous improvement
program. Continuous improvements in throughput and waste reduction have been the primary
areas of focus as these represent the areas of highest impact with little or no capital
requirement. In addition, gains are being recognized through the sharing of improved
operating practices across the divisions as the trained Belts collaborate across their
projects. Latin America will join their North American colleagues as they begin training in
the Six Sigma/Lean Methodologies in November 2007. Based on these successes, the Company is
on track to have projects already implemented or being implemented with $100 million in
annual improvements run-rate by year end 2008.
Retooling:
Quebecor Worlds three-year retooling initiative is focused on installing
state-of-the-art technology, in fewer but larger facilities, by running faster, more
efficient next-generation technology. Since the end of the second quarter, the Company
completed eleven press start-ups consisting of 2 new presses and 9 relocations, including
four relocations during the month of October. New and relocated equipment was installed in
the North American book, catalog, retail, direct mail and Canadian platforms. The Company
is pleased that the retooling effort is now completed. As part of its ongoing operations to
further enhance customer and shareholder value, Quebecor World continues to explore and
evaluate opportunities to deploy the latest press and bindery technology to maximize value
and efficiencies. This major retooling effort has taken the last three years to complete
and management is confident that the Company will benefit from this retooled network in the
future.
Balance sheet:
Quebecor World is committed to strengthening its balance sheet in a
responsible manner. A key milestone to improve the Balance Sheet is the sale and merger of
its European operations as discussed above. In addition, during the quarter, Quebecor World
announced a full repurchase of its 8.42%, 8.52%, 8.54% and 8.69% Private Notes. Also, the
Company successfully amended the terms of its revolving credit facility and agreed to a
$750 million commitment limit which will be reduced to $500 million by July 1, 2008. Also
in the quarter, Quebecor World completed a sale-leaseback transaction for net proceeds of
$14.5 million. These transactions are further discussed in the Liquidity and capital
resources Financing activities section.

Overall, Quebecor Worlds operating income was lower in the third quarter and year-to-date
2007 when compared to the same period in 2006. A significant portion of the shortfall was
attributable to the Companys European segment which faced challenging market conditions
including excess capacity that is having an ongoing negative impact on prices. The
Companys operations in 2007 were also negatively impacted by the depreciation of the U.S.
dollar against most major currencies. However, the recently retooled Magazine and Book
Groups in North America continued to show improved results year-over-year in 2007. The
results for the first nine-months of 2007 incorporated specific charges that are
non-recurring in nature, including a significant loss on the disposal of the Lille
facility in France in the first quarter. These charges are discussed in the Financial
Review section of this MD&A. Management believes that the successful implementation of
the Companys Five-Point Transformation Plan as well as the merger of its European
operations will promote long-term earnings growth and create more value for Quebecor
Worlds customers, people and shareholders.
|
|
1.3
|
|
Outlook for remainder of 2007
|
|
|
|
The Company continues to experience a number of challenges and expects to continue to face
difficult and highly competitive market conditions. In response, the Company is taking
measures to implement over time its Five-Point Transformation Plan, described in the 2006
annual MD&A. The Company believes that it is making progress on all five points within the
transformation plan, in order to deliver on its targeted benefits. These benefits are
expected to be $100 million in reduced costs and higher efficiencies from the Execution
initiative, and $300 million in new revenues from the Customer Value initiative, both
targeted annual run rates to be achieved by the end of 2008.
|
|
1.4
|
|
Impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets
|
|
|
|
The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment testing in the third quarter of 2007.
Taking into account financial information such as the sale and merger with RSDB (see European
Operations section), management determined that the carrying value of goodwill for its
European reporting unit was not recoverable and that the resulting impairment of such goodwill
amounted to its entire carrying value of $166.0 million at September 30, 2007. Quebecor World
also concluded that the goodwill for its North America and Latin America segments was fully
recoverable.
|
|
|
|
|
Quebecor World also recorded a $128.0 million impairment charge on long-lived assets in
North America and Europe principally applied to machinery and equipment. This charge was a
result of impairment tests being triggered in North America, because of the retooling plan
and the relocation of existing presses into fewer, but larger and more efficient
facilities. As part of the Five-Point Transformation Plan, the Company is continuously
seeking to re-evaluate the future efficiency of its retooled network and make the
necessary adjustments to its strategic plans. In Europe, the impairment test was triggered
as a result of the merger of Quebecor World Europe with RSDB.
|
|
|
|
|
The Company may be required to take additional goodwill impairment charges and additional
write-downs on the value of its long-lived assets and, in such event, its financial
results and
operations could be affected. However, this would not have any negative impact on
Companys bank covenants.

2. Financial review
The Company assesses performance based on, among other measures, operating income and Adjusted
EBIT (Figure 5). The following financial review focuses on continuing operations.
Revenue
by Print Service Worldwide
($ millions)
For the quarter
and the nine-month periods ended September 30 (Continuing
operations)
Figure
1
2.1 Third quarter review
The Companys consolidated revenues for the third quarter of 2007 were $1.41 billion, a 8.5%
decrease when compared to $1.55 billion for the same period in 2006. Excluding the impact of
currency translation (Figure 2), revenues were $1.38 billion for the quarter, down 10.8%
compared to 2006. The decrease in revenues resulted mostly from lower paper sales, but also
from reduced volume mostly caused by plant closures and temporary restructuring dislocations
as well as continued price pressures, as further discussed in the Segment results section.
In the third quarter of 2007, Adjusted EBIT decreased to $43.2 million compared to $67.3
million in 2006. Adjusted EBIT margin was 3.1% for the third quarter, compared to 4.3% for the
same period in 2006.

Figure 2
Paper sales, excluding the effect of currency translation, decreased by 18.2% for the third quarter
of 2007, compared to the same period in 2006. The paper sales decrease is mostly explained by plant
closures as well as more client supplied paper. Although the variance in paper sales has an impact
on revenues, it has little impact on operating income because the cost is generally passed on to
the customer. Most of the Companys long-term contracts with its customers include price-adjustment
clauses based on the cost of materials in order to minimize the effects of fluctuation in the price
of paper.

Cost of sales for the third quarter of 2007 decreased by 9.6% to $1.17 billion compared to $1.30
billion for the corresponding period in 2006. The decrease, compared to 2006, is mostly explained
by a decrease in sales volume and labour costs, both partly resulting from plant closures. Gross
profit margin was 17.1% in the third quarter of 2007 compared to 16.2% in 2006. Excluding the
negative impact of currency, gross profit margin increased to 17.3% in the third quarter of 2007.
The improvement in Quebecor Worlds gross profit margin principally reflects some of the
anticipated productivity gains in business groups where the retooling and restructuring initiatives
have been completed.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2007 were $112.2 million
compared with $98.5 million in 2006. Excluding the unfavourable impact of currency translation of
$3.2 million, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 10.7% compared to the same
period last year. The increase is due in part to investments in continuous improvement programs.
Securitization fees totalled $8.3 million for the third quarter of 2007, up from $8.1 million for
the third quarter of 2006. The increase for the quarter was mainly due to higher interest rates
underlying the program fees partially offset by lower usage of the program. Servicing revenues and
expenses did not have a significant impact on the Companys results.
Depreciation and amortization expenses were $77.2 million in the third quarter of 2007, compared
with $76.4 million in 2006. Excluding the unfavourable impact of currency translation of $2.0
million, depreciation and amortization expenses decreased by 1.6% compared to the third quarter of
2006. The replacement and decommissioning of underperforming assets by investments in
state-of-the-art printing technology mostly offset the decrease in depreciation and amortization
expenses in the third quarter of 2007 caused by plant closures, and sale and leaseback agreements
on land and buildings and equipment.
Loss on business disposals was $1.7 million in the third quarter of 2007 and was related to the
disposal of an offset facility used in commercial printing in Nantes, France.
During the third quarter of 2007, the Company recorded impairment of assets, restructuring and
other charges (IAROC) of $132.7 million, compared to $11.6 million last year. The charge for the
quarter was related to the impairment of long-lived assets in Europe and in North America. These
measures are described in the Impairment of assets and restructuring initiatives section.
Quebecor World completed its annual goodwill impairment test in the third quarter of 2007. As a
result, management concluded that, taking into account financial information such as the sale and
merger of its European operations, the entire carrying amount of goodwill for the European
reporting unit was not recoverable and as such, a pre-tax impairment charge of $166.0 million was
taken at the end of the third quarter. See the European Operations and Impairment of goodwill
and long-lived assets sections for additional information.
Financial expenses were $106.5 million in the third quarter of 2007, compared to $33.7 million in
2006. The variance of $72.8 million was mainly explained by a one time prepayment premium of $53.1
million for the early redemption of the Companys outstanding 8.42% Senior Notes, Series A, due
July 15, 2010, 8.52% Senior Notes, Series B, due July 15, 2012, 8.54% Senior Notes, Series C, due
September 15, 2015 and 8.69% Senior Notes, Series D, due September 15, 2020. The increase was also
caused by higher interest rates, a higher average level of debt as well as by the depreciation of
the U.S. currency against the other major currencies.
Income tax recovery was $49.8 million in the third quarter of 2007, compared to a charge of $2.7
million in 2006. Income tax recovery before IAROC and goodwill impairment charge was $23.1 million
in the third quarter of 2007, compared to a charge of $4.0 million for the same period last year.
The income tax recovery, in the third quarter of 2007, was mostly due to impairment of assets and
restructuring charges in North America (recovery of $19.6 million), the impairment of goodwill in
Europe (recovery of $6.8 million) as well as higher financial expenses as discussed above.
For the third quarter ended September 30, 2007, the Company reported a loss per share of $2.42
compared to earnings per share of $0.09 in 2006. These results incorporated IAROC and goodwill
impairment charge, net of income taxes, of $272.0 million or $2.06 per share compared with $10.3
million or $0.08 per share in 2006. Excluding these charges, adjusted diluted loss per share was
$0.36 in the third quarter of 2007 compared to adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.17 for the
same period in 2006.

2.2 Year-to-date review
On a year-to-date basis, the Companys consolidated revenues were $4.17 billion, a 6.7%
decrease when compared to $4.47 billion for the same period in 2006. Excluding the impact of
currency translation (Figure 2), revenues were $4.09 billion for the nine months of 2007, down
8.5% compared to 2006. The decrease in revenues resulted from lower paper sales as well as
reduced volume mostly caused by temporary restructuring dislocations and plant closures as
well as continued price pressures as further discussed in the Segment results section. On a
year-to-date basis, adjusted EBIT decreased to $88.3 million compared to $167.3 million in
2006. Adjusted EBIT margin was 2.1% for the nine months of 2007, compared to 3.7% for the same
period in 2006. These results were impacted by significant non-recurring specific charges that
are discussed below.
Paper sales, excluding the effect of currency translation, decreased by 15.6% on a
year-to-date basis, compared to the same period in 2006. The explanation provided in the
Third Quarter Review section above, outlining the causes behind the decrease, also applies
for the year-to-date variation.
On a year-to-date basis, cost of sales decreased by 7.1% to $3.49 billion compared to $3.76
billion for the corresponding period in 2006. The decrease, compared to 2006, is explained
mostly by decreases in sales volume, impacting all variable costs, but more significantly
labour costs. Decreases in variable costs and sales volume are both partly resulting from
plant closures. Gross profit margin increased to 16.3% for the nine months of 2007 compared to
15.9% in 2006. Excluding the negative impact of currency, gross profit margin increased to
16.4% on a year-to-date basis. The improvement in Quebecor Worlds gross profit margin
principally reflects some of the anticipated productivity gains in business groups where the
retooling and restructuring initiatives have been completed.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $329.1 million on a year-to-date basis
compared with $293.4 million in 2006. Excluding the unfavourable impact of currency
translation of $6.6 million, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 9.9%
compared to the same period last year. The increase is due in part to investments in
continuous improvement programs as well as charges related to strategic initiatives and
changes in the timing of accruals for compensation charges in 2007 compared to 2006.
Securitization fees totalled $21.6 million on a year-to-date basis, down from $22.6 million
for the same period in 2006. The decrease for the period was mainly due to lower usage of the
program partially offset by higher interest rates underlying the program fees. Servicing
revenues and expenses did not have a significant impact on the Companys results.
Depreciation and amortization expenses were $226.9 million for the first nine months of 2007,
compared with $223.4 million in 2006. Excluding the unfavourable impact of currency
translation of $4.5 million, depreciation and amortization expenses were fairly flat compared
to last year. The replacement and decommissioning of underperforming assets by investments in
state-of-the-art printing technology has mostly offset the decrease in depreciation and
amortization expenses caused by plant closures, and sale and leaseback agreements on land and
buildings and equipment.
Loss on business disposals was $12.7 million on a year-to-date basis and was related to the
disposal of the Lille and Nantes facilities in France respectively during the first and the
third quarter of 2007. The loss of $2.2 million in 2006 was mainly attributable to the
disposal of a facility in North America.
During the first nine months of 2007, the Company recorded IAROC of $198.2 million, compared
to $65.1 million last year. On a year-to-date basis, the charge was mainly related to the
impairment of long-lived assets in Europe and North America and to the closure and
consolidation of facilities in North America as well as workforce reductions. Finally, the
Company recorded pension settlement charges related to prior year initiatives. These measures
are described in the Impairment of assets and restructuring initiatives section.
Quebecor World completed its annual goodwill impairment test in the third quarter of 2007. As
a result, management concluded that, taking into account financial information such as the
sale and merger of its European operations, the entire carrying amount of goodwill for the
European reporting unit was not recoverable and as such, a pre-tax impairment charge of $166.0
million was taken at the end of the third quarter. See the European Operations and
Impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets sections for additional information.

On a year-to-date basis, financial expenses were $182.3 million, compared to $94.8 million in
2006. The variance of $87.5 million is partly explained by a one time prepayment premium of
$53.1 million, in the third quarter, for the early redemption of the Companys outstanding
8.42% Senior Notes, Series A, due July 15, 2010, 8.52% Senior Notes, Series B, due July 15,
2012, 8.54% Senior Notes, Series C, due September 15, 2015 and 8.69% Senior Notes, Series D,
due September 15, 2020. The variance is also explained by a lower amount of interest
capitalized to the cost of equipment due to the finalization of Quebecor Worlds retooling
plan as well as the premium paid and loss incurred on the redemption of the Companys 6.00%
Convertible senior subordinated notes during the second quarter. In addition to those
elements, the increase was also caused by higher interest rates, a higher average level of
debt and the depreciation of the U.S. currency against the other major currencies.
Income tax recovery was $89.3 million on a year-to-date basis, compared to $12.0 million in
2006. Income tax recovery before IAROC and goodwill impairment charge was $46.4 million for
the first nine months of 2007, compared to $1.2 million for the same period last year. The
income tax recovery in the first three quarters of 2007 was mainly due to increased losses and
the impairment of long-lived assets in North America.
The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2007 was 19.2% compared to a statutory
rate of 33.1%. The decrease of 13.9% was mainly explained by a valuation allowance on tax
losses in Canada and Europe as well as the goodwill impairment charge in Europe that is mostly
non-deductible.
On a year-to-date basis, the Company reported a loss per share of $2.96 compared to $0.06 in
2006. These results incorporate IAROC and goodwill impairment charge, net of income taxes, of
$321.3 million or $2.43 per share compared with $54.3 million or $0.42 per share in 2006.
Excluding these charges, adjusted diluted loss per share was $0.53 for the first nine months
of 2007 compared with adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.36 in the same period of 2006.

|
Adjusted EBITDA trend
Adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months of 2007 was, overall, lower than last year due to price
pressures, volume declines and inefficiencies resulting from previous periods restructuring
activities. These more than offset the year-over-year improvements, achieved in the first nine
months of 2007, resulting from the retooling initiatives and restructuring process.
Overall performance for the previous eight quarters was also affected by operational inefficiencies
mainly in plants involved in the installation of new equipment or press closures as well as those
due to plant closures. In all four quarters of 2006, the Company continued to face difficult market
conditions, resulting in price erosion worldwide and decreased volume in certain of the Companys
markets. The retooling benefits, as well as growth in new value added services such as in Premedia
and Logistics, as well as the Companys Five-Point Transformation Plan are intended to help reverse
this negative trend.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
Seasonal impact
Revenues generated by the Company are seasonal with a greater part of volume being realized in the
second half of the fiscal year, primarily due to the higher number of magazine pages, new product
launches, back-to-school ads, marketing by retailers, increased catalog activity, and holiday
promotions. Therefore, an analysis of the consecutive quarters is not a true measurement of the
revenue trend (Figure 3).
IAROC impact
Significant IAROC have resulted from the Companys focus on cost reduction and retooling activities
undertaken during the previous years that involved a reduction in workforce, closure or downsizing
of facilities, decommissioning of under-performing assets, lowering of overhead expenses,
consolidating corporate functions and relocating sales and administrative offices into plants. This
determined focus on cost containment has reduced the Companys long-term cost structure and is
expected to improve efficiency across the platform. For the nine-month period ended September 30,
2007, the Company recorded IAROC of $198.2 million relating to its European and North American
platforms. Of that amount, $155.8 million was related to an impairment charge of long-lived assets
for European and North American facilities, $37.6 million related to restructuring charges incurred
in the first nine months of 2007 for the closure of North American facilities and the continuation
of prior year initiatives, and $4.8 million related to pension settlements in North American
facilities.
Goodwill impairment charge impact
Throughout 2005, the European reporting unit suffered from poor market conditions, namely continued
price erosion and decreased volumes, as well as several production inefficiencies and the loss of
an important client in the United Kingdom. As a result, the Company concluded that the carrying
amount of goodwill for the European reporting unit was not fully recoverable and a pre-tax
impairment charge of $243.0 million was taken at December 31, 2005. Since then, the European
reporting unit continued to be severely impacted by the same poor market conditions. Quebecor World
completed its annual goodwill impairment test in the third quarter of 2007, taking into account
financial information such as the sale and merger of its European operations. Consequently,
management determined that the entire carrying amount of goodwill for the European reporting unit
was not recoverable and a pre-tax impairment charge of $166.0 million was taken at the end of the
third quarter of 2007.
General market conditions impact
The Companys performance for the last eight quarters was primarily affected by the difficult
market environment, which more than offset some of the benefits from Quebecor Worlds restructuring
process and the decreased costs from other initiatives mentioned above. Competition in the industry
remains intense as the industry is still in the process of consolidation, evidenced by several
recent mergers. The publishing market is largely constant in volumes, while the primary demand for
printed marketing materials is stable with low growth. The Company is focusing on adding customer
value and improving productivity through continuous improvement projects and the recent deployment
of next generation technology, in order to create an operating network capable of being highly
competitive in this market.

North America
The North American segment is comprised of the following business groups: Magazine, Retail,
Catalog, Book & Directory, Direct, Canada, Logistics, Premedia and other value added services.
North American revenues for the third quarter of 2007 were $1,098.4 million, down 11.5% from
$1,241.1 million in 2006 and $3,224.9 million for the first nine month period, down 8.8% from
$3,537.6 million for the same period in 2006. Excluding the effect of currency translation and the
unfavourable impact of paper sales, revenues decreased by 5.5% in the third quarter and 3.4% on a
year-to-date basis compared to the same periods last year. Revenues in the North American segment
continued to be impacted by negative price pressures. Volume decreased during the third quarter and
the nine first months of 2007, mainly due to restructuring initiatives in the Catalog, Magazine,
Book and Canada groups. Additional volume contracted with Yellow Book positively impacted the
Directory group since the beginning of the second quarter of 2007. Finally, due to a very strong
Canadian dollar, the Canada group continued to be affected by less favourable foreign exchange
contracts on sales to its U.S. customers.
Operating income and margin in North America decreased in the third quarter and on a year-to-date
basis compared to 2006. Operating income in North America was impacted by the highly competitive
market conditions as well as inefficiencies and costs related to the finalization of the Companys
retooling plan during the third quarter of 2007. The decrease was partly offset by the benefits
from the retooling completed in 2006 and cost reductions in the Book & Directory and Magazine
groups over the nine-month period ended on September 30, 2007. In addition, the Book and Direct
groups benefited from the impact of favourable product mix with higher value added work and
services.
In the third quarter of 2007, the Company completed the start-up of two Timson book presses in its
Buffalo, NY facility (Book & Directory group). Quebecor World also completed the U.S. Catalog
retooling plan in July with the installation of a Rotoman 64 page press in its Jonesboro, AR
facility (Catalog & Retail group). Although management is considering additional investments in
Quebecor Worlds North American platform, the Company finalized its major North American retooling
plan, as expected, before the 2007 busy season.
The North American workforce was reduced year-over-year by 1,007 employees, or 4.4%, mostly as a
result of the restructuring initiatives completed thus far.

Europe
|
|
|
|
|
The European segment operates mainly in the Magazine, Retail, Catalog and Book markets.
European revenues for the third quarter of 2007 were $242.5 million, down 0.6% from $244.1
million in 2006 and $744.6 million for the nine-month period, down 1.8% from $758.1 million
for the same period in 2006. Excluding the impact of currency translation and paper sales,
revenues were down 6.3% and 6.5% respectively for the third quarter and the year-to-date
compared to the same periods in 2006. Overall, volume decrease experienced in Europe was
mostly the result of the disposal of the Lille and the Strasbourg French facilities, as well
as press start-up inefficiencies and equipment transfers. This shortfall was however partly
offset by increases in facilities re-equipped with new presses in Austria, Spain and Belgium,
with Belgian volume almost up 45% from last year during the nine-month period of 2007.
|
|
|
|
|
On a year-to-date basis, the operating income and margin for the European segment decreased
compared to the same period in 2006, but increased in Finland and Sweden. The increased volume
in Belgium and Spain did not translate into increased operating income as their positive
effects were offset by press start up inefficiencies and a negative work mix in the nine-month
period of 2007. The trend in this segments operating income and margin reflects lower demand,
price pressures, temporary inefficiencies experienced with the installation of new presses and
transfer of volumes between plants. Year-over-year, the European workforce was reduced by 8.0%
or 318 employees.
|
|
|
|
|
Latin America
|
|
|
|
|
Latin America operates mainly in the Book, Directory, Magazine, Catalog and Retail markets.
Latin Americas revenues for the third quarter of 2007 were $75.0 million, up 22.5% from $61.2
million in 2006 and $202.3 million, on a year-to-date basis, up 18.6% from $170.5 million for
the same period in 2006. Excluding the impact of foreign currency and paper sales, revenues
for the third quarter of 2007 were up 5.7% compared to last year. Significant revenue
increases from Colombia and Mexico, during the third quarter and the first nine months, were
the result of a growing volume. The increase in Colombia and Mexico mostly came from export
sales of bibles and directories respectively. However, the impact of these increases in volume
on operating income was partly offset by less favourable pricing on the bibles during the
quarter. Overall, in addition to cost reductions, these factors contributed to the growth in
operating income during the third quarter of 2007 compared to last year.

|
Impairment of assets and restructuring initiatives
|
|
|
|
|
Quebecor World has undertaken various restructuring initiatives to increase the efficiency of
the pressroom and the return on capital employed by its facilities. Restructuring costs are
mostly the result of plant closures and workforce reductions resulting from current and prior
years initiatives. A description of these initiatives is provided in Note 3 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ended September 30, 2007.
|
|
|
|
|
The 2007 restructuring initiatives affected a total of 892 employees, of which 832 positions
have been eliminated as of September 30, 2007. The remaining 60 positions will be eliminated
in the near future. However, the Company estimates that 387 new jobs should be created in
other facilities with respect to the 2007 initiatives. The execution of prior years
initiatives resulted in the elimination of 773 jobs for the first nine months of 2007 and 209
are still to come.
|
|
|
|
|
As at September 30, 2007, the balance of the restructuring reserve was $21.9 million. The
total cash disbursement related to this reserve is expected to be $14.4 million for the
remainder of 2007. Finally, the Company expects to record a charge of $13.9 million in
upcoming quarters for the restructuring initiatives that have already been announced at
September 30, 2007.
|
|
|
|
|
The Company also recorded an impairment charge on long-lived assets of $128.0 million in the
third quarter of 2007 for a total of $155.8 million after nine months in 2007.

The decrease in cash from operating activities generated in the third quarter and the first
nine months of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 was due mainly to the shortfall
attributable to the Companys European segment and the depreciation of the U.S. dollar.
|
|
|
|
|
The deficiency in working capital was $73.1 million at September 30, 2007, compared to $76.0
million at December 31, 2006. The improvement was due mainly to an increase in cash and cash
equivalents and inventories, as well as a lower level of securitization of trade receivables
as a result of modifications to the programs at the end of 2006. This improvement was mainly
offset by a higher current portion of long term debt and higher level of trade payables and
accrued liabilities. Quebecor World maximizes the use of its accounts receivable
securitization programs, since the cost of these programs is lower than that of its credit
facilities. The amount of trade receivables under securitization varies from month to month,
based principally on the previous months volume (for example, September securitization is
based on receivables at the end of August).

In the third quarter of 2007, Quebecor World paid dividends on preferred shares classified as
equity totalling $5.9 million compared to $9.7 million during the same period in 2006. On a
year-to-date basis, the Company paid dividends on preferred shares classified as equity of $17.6
million in 2007 compared to $33.6 million in 2006. Quebecor World paid dividends on equity shares
totalling $13.3 million in the third quarter of 2006 and $39.8 million in the first nine months of
2006. These dividends are designated to be eligible dividends, as provided under subsection 89(14)
of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and its provincial counterpart.
|
|
|
|
|
On October 29, 2007, Quebecor World redeemed the outstanding Senior Notes (8.42%, 8.52%, 8.54% and
8.69%) for a redemption price of 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes, plus the
accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to the redemption date plus the applicable prepayment
premium of $53.1
million due on the redemption date. The Notes were classified as long-term debt, since the Company
drew on its syndicated revolving bank credit facility for the financing of this transaction.
|
|
|
|
|
On October 15, 2007, the Company announced that the fixed dividend rate for its Series 3 Cumulative
Redeemable First Preferred Shares will be equal to 150% of the yield on five-year non-callable
Government of Canada bonds to be determined on November 9, 2007. Holders of the Series 3 Preferred
Shares will also have the right to convert all or any number of their shares effective as of
December 1, 2007, on a one-for-one basis, into Series 2 Cumulative Redeemable First Preferred
Shares.
|
|
|
|
|
On September 28, 2007, the Company finalized new terms for its syndicated Revolving bank facility.
The amendment includes modification of the covenants to provide financial flexibility through to
maturity of the agreement in January 2009. As part of the new agreement, the Company has agreed to
reduce its facility from $1 billion to $750 million in October 2007, of which a portion will be
secured by a lien on assets in an amount of $135.6 million. The amendment also includes a
commitment to reduce the facility to $500 million by July 1, 2008 and provides certain restrictions
on the use of proceeds and terms of repayment and it includes certain restrictive covenants,
including the obligation to maintain certain financial ratios.
|

|
|
|
On September 26, 2007, the Company included additional equipment in its lease agreement that
was announced on December 19, 2006, increasing the total financing to approximately $100
million. It is expected that, by the end of the current fiscal year, the lease agreement will
be fully drawn.
|
|
|
|
|
In the third quarter of 2007, Quebecor World reimbursed CA$9.8 million ($9.2 million) on the
long-term committed Equipment financing credit facility. As of September 30, 2007, the
drawings under this facility amounted to CA$156.0 million ($156.9 million) compared to
CA$118.0 million ($105.6 million) at the same date last year. In October 2007, the credit
facility was secured by a lien on assets in an amount of $34.4 million.
|
|
|
|
|
On June 28, 2007, the Company redeemed all of the 6.00% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes
due on October 1, 2007 for a redemption price of 100.6% of the outstanding principal amount of
the Notes, plus the accrued and unpaid interest. The aggregate outstanding principal amount of
the Notes was $119.5 million.

Additions to property, plant and equipment
|
|
|
|
|
In the third quarter of 2007, the Company invested $62.5 million in capital projects,
compared to $82.6 million in 2006. On a year-to-date basis, $197.2 million has been
invested in capital projects in 2007, compared to $219.0 million in 2006. Of that amount,
approximately 71% represented development capital, including expenditures for new capacity
requirements, but mostly for productivity improvement. The remaining portion was spent on
equipment transferred between plants and maintenance of the Companys existing structure.
In 2006, the organic growth spending amounted to 76% (87% excluding building purchases).
|
|
|
|
|
Key year-to-date expenditures included approximately $41.3 million in North America and
$47.3 million in Europe as part of the strategic retooling plans and a customer related
project. Other notable projects are related to the Corinth, MS facility transformation
into a dual-process, premier rotogravure and offset catalog facility.
|
|
|
|
|
Given the substantial amount of investment during the last three years as part of the
retooling program and the fact that the European operations will no longer be
consolidated, additions to property, plant and equipment are expected to be in the range
of $100 to $150 million per year for the next two years and normalized longer term to the
level of $150 to $200 million per year.
|
|
|
|
|
Proceeds from business disposals and disposal of assets
|
|
|
|
|
In the third quarter of 2007, proceeds on disposal of assets amounted to $28.5 million,
compared to $0.2 million during the same period in 2006. Proceeds in the last quarter were
mainly related to the sale and leaseback of equipment and the sale of four land and
buildings. On a year-to-date basis, proceeds on disposal of assets amounted to $69.0
million compared to $9.2 million in 2006. The higher proceeds in 2007 included $34.2
million related to the sale and leaseback of land and buildings of two Canadian facilities
completed on March 23, 2007.

The Company reports free cash flow because it is a key measure used by management to evaluate its
liquidity (Figure 5). Free cash flow reflects cash flow available for business acquisitions,
dividends on equity shares, repayments of long-term debt and repurchases of equity securities. Free
cash flow is not a calculation based on Canadian or U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an
alternative to the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Free cash flow is a measure that can be
used to gauge the Companys performance over time. Investors
|
17
|
|
|
should be cautioned that free cash flow as reported by Quebecor World may not be comparable in
all instances to free cash flow as reported by other companies.
|
|
|
|
|
The decrease in free cash flow in the third quarter of 2007 compared to 2006 is due mainly to
decrease in cash flows from operating activities as described above. This decrease was partly
offset by the lower capital expenditures as the Company completed its retooling initiative.
|
|
|
|
|
On a year-to-date basis, free cash flow was lower in 2007 compared with 2006 as a result of
lower cash flows from operating activities as described above and higher proceeds from
business disposals recorded in 2006. The decrease was partly offset by higher proceeds from
disposal of assets.

Financial ratios, financial covenants and credit ratings
|
|
|
|
|
Financial ratios
|
|
|
|
|
The key financial ratios used by management to evaluate the Companys financial position are
the interest coverage ratio, the debt-to-Adjusted-EBITDA ratio, and the debt-to-capitalization
ratio. Calculations of key financial ratios are presented in Figure 6. At the end of the third
quarter of 2007, the debt-to-capitalization ratio was 62:38, compared to 53:47 at December 31,
2006. The increase is largely attributable to non-cash impairment of long-lived assets and
goodwill recognized in the third quarter of 2007. As at September 30, 2007, total debt plus
accounts receivable securitization was $2,778.4 million, $66.5 million higher compared to
December 31, 2006.
|
|
|
|
|
Financial covenants
|
|
|
|
|
The Company is subject to certain financial covenants in some of its major financing
agreements. On September 28, 2007, Quebecor World amended the terms of its bank facility and
its U.S. Securitization program. As at September 30, 2007, the Company was in compliance with
all debt covenants as communicated in compliance reports under the various agreements
governing such debts. The amounts disclosed in Figures 5 and 6 as well as the discussion in
the Financial ratios section may not accurately represent figures used in the calculation of
the actual debt covenants.
|
|
|
|
|
Credit ratings
|
|
|
|
|
As at October 29, 2007, the following credit ratings had been attributed to the senior
unsecured debt of the Company:

Service Limited (DBRS) lowered the Companys credit rating from BB to B High, and, on October 4,
2007, from B High to B. The Companys future borrowing costs may increase as a result of these
rating changes.

The Company has major operating leases pursuant to which it has the option to purchase the
underlying equipment (presses and binders) at the end of the term, and it has historically
acquired most of the equipment when it is used for production. The total terminal value of
operating leases expiring between 2008 and 2013 is approximately $45.6 million.
|
|
|
|
|
The
Company monitors the funded status of its pension plans very closely. During the first
nine months of 2007, the Company made contributions of $53.1 million ($77.0 million in
2006), which were in accordance with the minimum required contributions as determined by
the Companys actuaries. Minimum required contributions are estimated at $61.7 million for
2007.
|
|
|
|
|
Quebecor World believes the modified credit facility (as described in the Financing
activities section), combined with other financing initiatives currently underway, should
provide the Company with the required liquidity to execute its business plan.

Off-balance sheet arrangements and other disclosures
|
|
5.1
|
|
Off-balance sheet arrangements
|
|
|
|
|
The Company is party to various off-balance sheet arrangements. The Companys 2006 annual
MD&A contains a complete description of these arrangements.
|
|
|
|
|
Operating leases
|
|
|
|
|
In October 2007, certain assets under operating lease were purchased for a consideration
of $32.5 million. The Company also expects to purchase machinery and equipment under
operating lease in November 2007 for a consideration of $42.3 million.
|
|
|
|
|
Sales of trade receivables
|
|
|
|
|
As at September 30, 2007, the amounts outstanding under the Canadian, U.S. and European
securitization programs were CA$47.0 million ($47.2 million), $335.0 million and EUR 78.5
million ($111.6 million), respectively (CA$68.0 million ($60.8 million), $377.0 million
and EUR 90.8 million ($115.1 million), as at September 30, 2006). The Company had a
retained interest in the trade receivables sold of $141.1 million ($129.8 million in
2006), which was recorded in the Companys trade receivables. As at September 30, 2007, an
aggregate amount of $634.9 million ($682.8 million in 2006) of accounts receivable had
been sold under the three programs. Consistent with its U.S. securitization agreement, the
Company sells all of its U.S. receivables to a wholly-owned subsidiary, Quebecor World
Finance Inc., through a true-sale transaction.
|
19
|
|
|
Due to recent DBRS credit rating downgrades, the Company obtained a waiver of certain
covenants until October 15, 2007, at which point Quebecor World commenced the amortization
process set out in the agreement governing the Canadian securitization program. By virtue of
the amortization process, the Company continues to service past receivables sold under the
program, but no additional receivables or related ownership interest is sold to the Trust. On
October 24, 2007, the Company amended its U.S. program to include receivables generated by its
Canadian operations (now a North American program) and thus ended the Canadian program. In
order to conclude the revised arrangement, CA$23.6 million ($24.3 million) of receivables
which remained outstanding were repurchased under the Canadian program. On October 24, 2007,
due to the inclusion of the Canadian receivables, the amount outstanding under the North
American program has increased by $72.0 million. On September 28, 2007, the Company amended
the maturity date of its U.S. Securitization program, which is now January 30, 2009.
|
|
|
|
|
In October 2007, the Company signed an agreement to commence the amortization process of its
European securitization program. As of that date, the Company continues to service past
receivables sold under the program, but no additional receivables or related ownership
interest is sold to the Trust. Quebecor World does not anticipate that any amounts sold under
the European program will remain outstanding by the end of 2007 and management intends to
replace the facility with an alternate financing source.
|
|
|
|
|
The Company was in compliance with all its covenants under the agreements governing its
securitization programs as of September 30, 2007. See the Financial ratios, financial
covenants and credit ratings section of the present MD&A for additional information on
financial covenants.

5.2
|
|
Derivative financial instruments
|
|
|
|
|
The Company uses a number of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to
fluctuations in foreign exchange, interest rates and commodity prices. The Companys 2006
annual MD&A contains a complete description of these derivative financial instruments. The
estimated fair value of derivative financial instruments at September 30, 2007 is detailed in

During the three-month period ended September 30, 2007, the Company recorded a net loss of $70.4
million on embedded derivatives not closely related to their host contracts and derivative
financial instruments for which hedge accounting was not used (net gain of $10.0 million in 2006).
During the same period, the Company recorded a net loss of $3.3 million for the ineffective portion
of its fair value hedges. For the first nine months of 2007, the Company recorded a net loss of
$104.6 million on embedded derivatives not closely related to their host contracts and derivative
financial instruments for which hedge accounting was not used ($19.0 million in 2006). During the
same period, the Company recorded a net loss of $1.5 million for the ineffective portion of its
fair value hedges. A net gain of $20.4 million related to its cash flow hedges was recorded to
other comprehensive income for the first nine months of 2007 as a result of the adoption of the new
accounting standards for financial instruments and hedges as at January 1, 2007 (See section
Change in accounting policy).

The Company has entered into transactions with the parent company and its other subsidiaries,
which were accounted for at prices and conditions prevailing in the market. Intercompany
revenues from the parent companys media subsidiaries mostly involved the printing of
magazines. During the second quarter of 2007, a real estate asset was sold to a shareholder of
the parent company at fair value established based on an independent estimate.
|
|
|
|
|
In October 2007, the Company sold a property to a company under common control, Quebecor Media
Inc., for consideration of CA$62.5 million ($64.0 million). Simultaneously, the Company
entered into a long-term lease over a term of 17 years with Quebecor Media Inc., to rent a
portion of the property sold. Consideration for the two transactions was settled by a cash
receipt of CA$43.9 million ($44.9 million) on the date of the transactions and the Company
assumed a net balance of sale, including interest, of CA$7.0 million ($7.2 million) receivable
in 2013.

Controls and procedures
|
|
|
|
|
Managements report on internal control over financial reporting
|
|
|
|
|
This section should be read in conjunction with Section 6.5, Controls and procedures of
the Companys annual MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2006 containing Managements
report on internal control over financial reporting.
|
|
|
|
|
The Company disclosed in its 2006 annual MD&A that management was not able to conclude as
to the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting, as it had
identified a material weakness in the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
Management also disclosed in its 2006 annual MD&A that it has put in place remediation
plans intended to address the conditions leading to the material weakness that had been
identified, which remediation plans consist of :
|
|
|
|
Developing and deploying a more exhaustive checklist to identify, capture and
communicate the required information and documentation;
|
|
|
|
|
Continuing to implement additional controls to identify, capture and timely
communicate financial information to apply the Companys policy pertaining to the
impairment of long-term assets;
|
|
|
|
|
Continuing to improve its forecasting systems;
|
|
|
|
|
Providing finance training for managers, process owners and accounting personnel.
|
|
|
|
Management continues to make progress in executing the remediation plans it has
established in order to further improve its internal controls in general and also address
the material weakness that was identified during the course of the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2006 in its internal controls over financial reporting.
|
|
|
|
|
No other changes to internal control over financial reporting have come to managements
attention during the three months ended September 30, 2007 that have materially adversely
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially adversely affect, the Companys internal
control over financial reporting.
|

|
|
Critical accounting estimates and accounting policies
|
|
6.1
|
|
Critical accounting estimates
|
|
|
|
|
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Canadian GAAP requires the
Company to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, disclosure with respect to contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. The Ontario Securities Commission defines critical accounting estimates
as those requiring assumptions made about matters that are highly uncertain at the time
the estimate is made, and when the use of different reasonable estimates or changes to the
accounting estimates would have a material impact on a companys financial condition or
results of operations. A complete discussion of the critical accounting estimates made by
the Company is included in the 2006 annual MD&A. Management has not made any significant
changes to these estimates and assumptions during the nine-month period ended September
30, 2007, with the exception of the impairment test on goodwill for the European reporting
unit discussed under the Impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets section. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
|
|
|
6.2
|
|
Change in accounting policy
|
|
|
|
|
Financial instruments
|
|
|
|
|
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted CICA Handbook Section 1530, Comprehensive
Income, Section 3855, Financial Instruments Recognition and Measurement and Section
3865,
Hedges. Changes in accounting policies in conformity with these new accounting standards
are as follows:
|
|
(a)
|
|
Comprehensive income
|
|
|
|
|
Section 1530 introduces the concept of comprehensive income, which is calculated by
including other comprehensive income with net income. Other comprehensive income
represents changes in shareholders equity arising from transactions and other
events with non-owner sources such as unrealized gains and losses on financial
assets classified as available-for-sale, changes in translation adjustment of
self-sustaining foreign operations and changes in the fair value of the effective
portion of cash flow hedging instruments. With the adoption of this section, the
consolidated financial statements now include consolidated statements of
comprehensive income. The comparative statements were restated solely to include the
translation adjustment of self-sustaining foreign operations as provided by
transition rules.
|
22
|
(b)
|
|
Financial instruments
|
|
|
|
|
Section 3855 establishes standards for recognizing and measuring financial assets, financial
liabilities and derivatives. Under this standard, financial instruments are now classified as
held-for-trading, available-for-sale, held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, or other
financial liabilities and measurement in subsequent periods depends on their classification.
Transaction costs are expensed as incurred for financial instruments classified as
held-for-trading. For other financial instruments, transaction costs are capitalized on
initial recognition and presented as a reduction of the underlying financial instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities held-for-trading are measured at fair value with
changes recognized in income. Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value
or at cost, in the case of financial assets that do not have a quoted market price in an
active market, and changes in fair value are recorded in comprehensive income.
|
|
|
|
|
Financial assets held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, and other financial liabilities are
measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method of amortization. The Company
has classified its restricted and unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and temporary
investments as held for trading. Trade receivables, receivables from related parties, loans
and other long-term receivables included in other assets were classified as loans and
receivable. Portfolio investments were classified as available for sale. All of the Companys
financial liabilities were classified as other financial liabilities.
|
|
|
|
|
Derivative instruments are recorded as financial assets or liabilities at fair value,
including those derivatives that are embedded in financial or non-financial contracts that are
not closely related to the host contracts. Changes in the fair values of the derivatives are
recognized in financial expenses with the exception of derivatives designated in a cash flow
hedge for which hedge accounting is used. In accordance with the new standards, the Company
selected January 1, 2003 as its transition date for adopting this standard related to embedded
derivatives.
|
|
|
(c)
|
|
Hedges
|
|
|
|
|
Section 3865 specifies the criteria that must be satisfied in order for hedge accounting to be
applied and the accounting for each of the permitted hedging strategies.
|
|
|
|
|
Accordingly, for derivatives designated as fair value hedges, such as certain cross currency
interest rate swaps used by the Company, changes in the fair value of the hedging derivative
recorded in income are substantially offset by changes in the fair value of the hedged item to
the extent that the hedging relationship is effective. When a fair value hedge is
discontinued, the carrying value of the hedged item is no longer adjusted and the cumulative
fair value adjustments to the carrying value of the hedged item are amortized to income over
the remaining term of the original hedging relationship.
|
|
|
|
|
For derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, such as certain commodity swaps and
forward exchange contracts used by the Company, the effective portion of a hedge is reported
in
other comprehensive income until it is recognized in income during the same period in which
the hedged item affects income, while the ineffective portion is immediately recognized in the
consolidated statement of income. When a cash flow hedge is discontinued, the amounts
previously recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income are reclassified to income
when the variability in the cash flows of the hedged item affects income.
|
|
|
Upon adoption of these new sections, the transition rules require that the Company adjust either
the opening retained earnings or accumulated other comprehensive income as if the new rules had
always been applied in the past, without restating comparative figures of prior years. Accordingly,
the following adjustments were recorded in the consolidated financial statements as at January 1,
2007:
|
|
§
|
|
Decrease of other assets by $24.3 million
|
|
|
§
|
|
Decrease in trade payable and accrued
liabilities by $0.6 million
|
|
|
§
|
|
Increase of other
liabilities by $18.9 million
|
|
|
§
|
|
Decrease of long-term
debt by $27.6 million
|
|
|
§
|
|
Decrease of future income tax
liabilities by $7.1 million
|
|
|
§
|
|
Decrease of retained
earnings by $2.2 million
|
|
|
§
|
|
Decrease of accumulated
other comprehensive income by $5.7 million
|
|
|
Finally, the adoption of the new standards had no material impact on net income in 2007.
|
23
|
6.3
|
|
Reclassification
|
|
|
|
|
During the second quarter of 2007, the Company reclassified the Series 5 Cumulative
Redeemable First Preferred Shares in the amount of $150.2 million as at December 31, 2006
and of $175.9 million as at September 30, 2007 from Capital stock and Accumulated other
comprehensive income to preferred shares classified as liability in the balance sheet, to
conform with accounting standards related to such financial instruments (CICA Handbook
section 3861). Dividends on these shares are now presented in the consolidated statement
of income as dividends on preferred shares classified as liability. This reclassification
was not material to the Companys consolidated financial statements and, as noted in
section 4.2, the Company remains in compliance with all significant debt covenants,
including those applicable to prior periods.
|
7.
|
|
Risks and uncertainties related to the Companys business
|
|
|
|
The principal risks and uncertainties related to the Companys business are set out in its 2006
annual MD&A that has been previously filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities
at
www.sedar.com
and with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission at
www.sec.gov
. The
Companys annual MD&A is also available at
www.quebecorworld.com
.
|
|
|
|
Additional risks and uncertainties that the Company is unaware of, or that the Company
currently deems to be immaterial, may also become important factors that affect it. If any of
such risks actually occurs, the Companys business, cash flows, financial condition or results
of operations could be materially adversely affected.
