Insights

Financial Analyst

Xerox's Q4 and FY2024 results reveal a company in the midst of a challenging transformation. The 8.6% revenue decline in Q4 to $1.61 billion, coupled with a 9.7% full-year revenue drop to $6.22 billion, signals persistent headwinds in the core business. However, there are some noteworthy bright spots.

The Q4 adjusted operating margin improved by 100 basis points to 6.4%, demonstrating that cost control measures are gaining traction. This is particularly significant given the substantial revenue decline. The Print and Other segment, while showing revenue contraction, maintained relatively stable profit levels in Q4, declining only 2.2%.

The $1.0 billion goodwill impairment charge reflects a realistic reassessment of business value, while the establishment of a $161 million tax valuation allowance indicates conservative accounting practices. These non-cash charges, while impacting reported earnings, don't affect operational cash generation.

Looking ahead, the 2025 guidance of low single-digit revenue growth and an adjusted operating margin of at least 5.0% suggests management expects the Reinvention strategy to begin yielding results. The projected free cash flow of $350-400 million, though lower than 2024's $467 million, should provide adequate flexibility for debt service and strategic investments.

The pending Lexmark acquisition, expected to close in H2 2025, could be transformative but isn't reflected in the guidance. This strategic move could provide scale benefits and technology synergies, potentially accelerating the company's transition beyond traditional printing.

However, investors should monitor several key risks:

• Declining gross margins (down 240 bps in Q4 to 31.1%)
• Reduced operating cash flow (down $175 million year-over-year)
• Execution risks associated with both the Reinvention strategy and Lexmark integration

Fourth Quarter 2024 Overview

We ended the year with improved execution, achieving revised full-year revenue and free cash flow¹ guidance. For a second consecutive quarter, adjusted¹ operating income and margin improved year-over-year despite a decline in total revenue, which we view as a proof point of the intended benefits of a more efficient business model. During the quarter, we closed the acquisition of ITsavvy and announced our intention to acquire Lexmark. Both acquisitions are expected to improve our core operations and accelerate our medium-term Reinvention goals of revenue stability and double-digit adjusted¹ operating income margins.

Equipment sales of $393 million in the fourth quarter 2024 declined 14.2% in actual currency, or 13.4% in constant currency¹, as compared to the fourth quarter 2023. The release of backlog² in the prior year, and other Reinvention actions, drove approximately 9.0-percentage points of the year-over-year decline. The remainder of the decline primarily reflects unfavorable mix between and within product families and a large Production equipment sale in the prior year. Total equipment installations increased approximately 19.0% year-over-year, due primarily to growth in entry level equipment and modest growth in mid-range equipment.

Post-sale revenue of $1.2 billion declined 6.7% in actual currency, or 6.1% in constant currency¹, as compared to fourth quarter 2023. The decline was primarily due to lower managed print service revenue, intentional reductions in non-strategic revenue, and the effects of geographic simplification. Excluding non-strategic effects, post sale revenue decreased low-single digits, inclusive of a partial quarter of ITsavvy revenue.

Pre-tax loss of $4 million for the fourth quarter 2024 decreased by approximately $84 million as compared to a pre-tax loss of $88 million in the fourth quarter 2023. The improvement in pre-tax (loss) margin was primarily due to lower Restructuring and related costs, net as compared to the prior year period, which included actions related to our workforce reduction announcement in the first quarter of 2024. Lower Selling, administrative and general expenses primarily reflecting productivity and cost savings related to the Company's Reinvention, and lower incentive compensation expenses, contributed to the year-over-year improvement. These benefits were offset by lower revenue and associated gross profit as well as a $33 million increase in Amortization of intangible assets related to the strategic write-off of certain trade names.

Adjusted¹ operating income of $104 million increased by $8 million as compared to fourth quarter 2023, reflecting lower Selling, administrative and general expenses associated with actions taken to simplify our organization, partially offset by lower equipment and post sale revenue and associated gross profits.

In 2025, we expect total Revenue to grow low single-digits in constant currency¹, inclusive of a full year of revenue associated with the recent ITsavvy acquisition. Revenue guidance includes approximately 400 basis points of headwinds associated with ongoing Reinvention actions, including the flow through of geographic simplification actions, reductions in High End equipment sales associated with our decision to stop manufacturing High End Production print equipment, the sale of our European paper business and the continued reduction of XFS revenue associated with a declining finance receivable portfolio. Core, organic revenue is expected to decline, but at a lower rate than we experienced in 2024. An improved core, organic revenue trajectory is expected to be driven primarily by market share gains in equipment and growth in Digital Services and legacy IT Solutions.

In 2025, adjusted¹ operating income margin is expected to be at least 5.0%. The slight year-over-year improvement reflects incremental gross cost savings, partially offset by higher product costs.

Free cash flow¹ is expected to be $350 to $400 million in 2025. The year-over-year decline in free cash flow¹ is due primarily to lower finance receivable forward flow benefits, as expected, partially offset by improved adjusted¹ operating income and working capital.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have reported our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In addition, we have discussed our financial results using the non-GAAP measures described below. We believe these non-GAAP measures allow investors to better understand the trends in our business and to better understand and compare our results. Management regularly uses our supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions. These non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. Compensation of our executives is based in part on the performance of our business based on these non-GAAP measures. Accordingly, we believe it is necessary to adjust several reported amounts, determined in accordance with GAAP, to exclude the effects of certain items as well as their related income tax effects.

However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are set forth below, as well as in the fourth quarter 2024 presentation slides available at www.xerox.com/investor.

Adjusted Earnings Measures

• Adjusted Net Income and Earnings per share (Adjusted EPS)
• Adjusted Effective Tax Rate

The above measures were adjusted for the following items:

Restructuring and related costs, net: Restructuring and related costs, net include restructuring and asset impairment charges as well as costs associated with our transformation programs beyond those normally included in restructuring and asset impairment charges. Restructuring consists of costs primarily related to severance and benefits paid to employees pursuant to formal restructuring and workforce reduction plans. Asset impairment includes costs incurred for those assets sold, abandoned or made obsolete as a result of our restructuring actions, exiting from a business or other strategic business changes. Additional costs for our transformation programs are primarily related to the implementation of strategic actions and initiatives and include third-party professional service costs as well as one-time incremental costs. All of these costs can vary significantly in terms of amount and frequency based on the nature of the actions as well as the changing needs of the business. Accordingly, due to that significant variability, we will exclude these charges since we do not believe they provide meaningful insight into our current or past operating performance nor do we believe they are reflective of our expected future operating expenses as such charges are expected to yield future benefits and savings with respect to our operational performance.

Amortization of intangible assets: The amortization of intangible assets is driven by our acquisition activity which can vary in size, nature and timing as compared to other companies within our industry and from period to period. The use of intangible assets contributed to our revenues earned during the periods presented and will contribute to our future period revenues as well. Amortization of intangible assets will recur in future periods.

Non-service retirement-related costs: Our defined benefit pension and retiree health costs include several elements impacted by changes in plan assets and obligations that are primarily driven by changes in the debt and equity markets as well as those that are predominantly legacy in nature and related to employees who are no longer providing current service to the Company (e.g. retirees and ex-employees). These elements include (i) interest cost, (ii) expected return on plan assets, (iii) amortization of prior plan amendments, (iv) amortized actuarial gains/losses and (v) the impacts of any plan settlements/curtailments. Accordingly, we consider these elements of our periodic retirement plan costs to be outside the operational performance of the business or legacy costs and not necessarily indicative of current or future cash flow requirements. This approach is consistent with the classification of these costs as non-operating in Other expenses, net. Adjusted earnings will continue to include the service cost elements of our retirement costs, which is related to current employee service as well as the cost of our defined contribution plans.

Transaction and related costs, net: Transaction and related costs, net are costs and expenses primarily associated with certain major or significant strategic M&A projects. These costs are primarily for third-party legal, accounting, consulting and other similar type professional services as well as potential legal settlements that may arise in connection with those M&A transactions. These costs are considered incremental to our normal operating charges and were incurred or are expected to be incurred solely as a result of the planned transactions. Accordingly, we are excluding these expenses from our Adjusted Earnings Measures in order to evaluate our performance on a comparable basis.

Discrete, unusual or infrequent items: We exclude these item(s), when applicable, given their discrete, unusual or infrequent nature and their impact on the comparability of our results for the period to prior periods and future expected trends.

• Goodwill impairment
• PARC donation
• Divestitures
• Reinvention-related costs
• Loss (gain) on early extinguishment of debt
• Inventory-related impact - exit of certain Production Print manufacturing operations
• Tax Indemnification - Conduent
• Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowance

Adjusted Operating Income and Margin

We calculate and utilize adjusted operating income and margin measures by adjusting our reported pre-tax (loss) income and margin amounts. In addition to the costs and expenses noted above as adjustments for our adjusted earnings measures, adjusted operating income and margin also exclude the remaining amounts included in Other expenses, net, which are primarily non-financing interest expense and certain other non-operating costs and expenses. We exclude these amounts in order to evaluate our current and past operating performance and to better understand the expected future trends in our business.

Adjusted Gross Profit and Margin

We calculate non-GAAP gross Profit and Margin by excluding the inventory impact related to the exit of certain Production Print manufacturing operations, included in Cost of services, maintenance and rentals.

Constant Currency (CC)

To better understand trends in our business, we believe that it is helpful to adjust revenue to exclude the impact of changes in the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars. We refer to this adjusted revenue as “constant currency.” This impact is calculated by translating current period activity in local currency using the comparable prior year period's currency translation rate. This impact is calculated for all countries where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. Management believes the constant currency measure provides investors an additional perspective on revenue trends. Currency impact can be determined as the difference between actual growth rates and constant currency growth rates.

Free Cash Flow

To better understand trends in our business, we believe that it is helpful to adjust operating cash flows by subtracting amounts related to capital expenditures. Management believes this measure gives investors an additional perspective on cash flow from operating activities in excess of amounts required for reinvestment. It provides a measure of our ability to fund acquisitions, dividends and share repurchase.

Reportable Segments

Our reportable segments are aligned with how we manage the business and view the markets we serve. We have two reportable segments - Print and Other, and Xerox Financial Services (XFS) (formerly FITTLE). Our two reportable segments are determined based on the information reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), our Chief Executive Officer (CEO), together with the Company’s management to evaluate performance of the business and allocate resources.

Our Print and Other segment includes the sale of document systems, supplies and technical services and managed services. The segment also includes the delivery of managed services that involve a continuum of solutions and services that help our customers optimize their print and communications infrastructure, apply automation and simplification to maximize productivity, and ensure the highest levels of security. This segment also includes Digital and IT services and software. The product groupings range from:

• “Entry”, which include A4 devices and desktop printers and multifunction devices that primarily serve small and medium workgroups/work teams.
• “Mid-Range”, which include A3 devices that generally serve large workgroup/work team environments as well as products in the Light Production product groups serving centralized print centers, print for pay and low volume production print establishments.
• “High-End”, which include production printing and publishing systems that generally serve the graphic communications marketplace and print centers in large enterprises.

Customers range from small and mid-sized businesses to large enterprises. Customers also include graphic communication enterprises as well as channel partners including distributors and resellers. Segment revenues also include commissions and other payments from our XFS segment for the exclusive right to provide lease financing for Xerox products. These revenues are reported as part of Intersegment Revenues, which are eliminated in consolidated revenues.

The XFS segment provides global leasing solutions and currently offers financing for direct channel customer purchases of Xerox equipment through bundled lease agreements and lease financing to end-user customers who purchase Xerox solutions through our indirect channels. Segment revenues primarily include financing income on sales-type leases (including month-to-month extensions) and leasing fees. Segment revenues also include gains/losses from the sale of finance receivables including commissions, fees on the sales of underlying equipment residuals, and servicing fees.
