Second Quarter 2023 Overview

In the second quarter 2023, resilient demand and balanced execution drove another quarter of growth in revenue, profits, and cash flow. Recent improvements in financial performance are driven by an intense focus on our three strategic priorities, which includes a focus on delivering client success through products and services that address the productivity challenges of today’s hybrid workplace.

Equipment sales revenue of $420 million in the second quarter 2023 increased 14.8% in actual currency and 14.3% in constant currency¹ as compared to the prior year period, reflecting stable demand and improved product availability, particularly in the Americas, and for our higher margin A3 devices. As expected, backlog² returned to normalized levels and since we do not expect changes in backlog² to materially affect results going forward, we will no longer provide detailed backlog² information. Consistent with recent quarters, revenue growth outpaced equipment installations due to favorable mix and pricing. Post-sale revenue of $1.3 billion in the second quarter 2023 declined 3.4% in actual currency as compared to the prior year period and 3.2% in constant currency¹. The decrease was driven primarily by non-contractual items, including lower IT hardware and paper sales, lower finance income and the cessation of Fuji royalties, partially offset by gains and commissions on sales of finance receivables.

Pre-tax loss increased year-over-year driven by a net pre-tax charge of $132 million related to the donation of our Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), partially offset by continued cost reduction actions, supply chain-related cost improvements and higher revenues. Adjusted¹ operating income, which excludes the PARC donation, was also higher year-over-year as a result of these impacts. These benefits were partially offset by currency, the cessation of Fuji royalty income, higher bad debt and employee compensation expenses. We continue to expect to deliver low to mid-single digit gross operating cost efficiencies for the year.

Total Revenue is expected to be flat to down low-single-digits in constant currency¹ in 2023. Adjusted¹ operating income margin is expected to increase from a range of 5.0% to 5.5%, to a range of 5.5% to 6.0%, due to a stronger-than-expected realization of operating efficiencies and revenue mix. We also expect free cash flow¹ for 2023 to increase from “at least $500 million” to “at least $600 million”. The increase reflects an improvement in expected operating income and incremental sales of finance receivables.

Segment Reporting Change

During the second quarter 2023, as a result of the recent strategic shift in the Company’s approach to funding FITTLE’s growth through finance receivables funding agreements that involve the sale of lease receivables, the measures of the FITTLE’s segment revenues and profits used by our Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), our Chief Executive Officer, were recast as follows to correspond with this change in strategy:

• The management and oversight of the equipment on operating leases portion of our financing business was transferred from the FITTLE segment to the marketing and sales groups in the Print and Other segment since the finance receivables funding agreements currently exclude the sale of operating lease arrangements.

• The allocation of shared expenses as well as commissions and other payments made by the FITTLE segment to the Print and Other segment were recast to better reflect the operations of FITTLE in line with the change in strategic direction.

The recast to our segment measures align with the financial information used by our CODM in evaluating our reportable segments’ performance and allocating resources. The prior period amounts have been recast to reflect the change in segment measures of revenue and profits. See Segment Review - 2023 Segment Reporting Change for recast made to conform to our new segment measurements.

Donation of Palo Alto Research Center (PARC)

On April 29, 2023, Xerox completed the donation of its Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) subsidiary to Stanford Research Institute International (SRI), a nonprofit research institute. The donation enables Xerox to focus on its core businesses and prioritize growth through its business technology solutions for customers in Print, as well as Digital Services and IT Services. The donation also allows PARC to reach its full potential through SRI’s resources and deep-tech expertise that will enable PARC to focus exclusively on the development of pioneering innovative technologies. The majority of patents held by PARC will be retained by Xerox with a perpetual license to use those patents being provided to SRI. Xerox, at its option, will also continue to receive certain research services from SRI. The donation resulted in a net pre-tax charge of $132 million in the second quarter 2023, which includes allocated Goodwill of $115 million. Xerox also recorded a net income tax benefit of $40 million related to the donation for a net after-tax loss on the donation of $92 million.

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 second quarter 2023 presentation slides available at www.xerox.com/investor.

Adjusted Earnings Measures

• Adjusted Net Income and Earnings per share (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.

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:

• PARC donation
• Accelerated share vesting - stock compensation expense associated with the accelerated vesting of all outstanding equity awards, according to the terms of the award agreement, in connection with the passing of Xerox Holding's former CEO.
• Loss on early extinguishment of debt

Adjusted Operating Income and Margin

We calculate and utilize adjusted operating income (loss) and margin measures by adjusting our reported pre-tax income (loss) and margin amounts. In addition to the costs and expenses noted 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.

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.

Xerox Holdings Corporation

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 Financing (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 IT services and software. Our 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 FITTLE 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 FITTLE segment provides global leasing solutions and currently offers financing for direct channel customer purchases of Xerox equipment through bundled lease agreements, lease financing to end-user customers who purchase Xerox and non-Xerox equipment through our indirect channels and leasing solutions for OEMs of print and non-print related office equipment and IT services equipment. 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.

Geographic Sales Channels

We also operate a matrix organization that includes a geographic focus that is primarily organized from a sales perspective on the basis of “go-to-market” (GTM) sales channels as follows:

• Americas, which includes our sales channels in the U.S. and Canada, as well as Mexico, Brazil and Central and South America.
• EMEA, which includes our sales channels in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and India.
• Other, which includes royalties and licensing revenue.

These GTM sales channels are structured to serve a range of customers for our products and services, including financing. Accordingly, we will continue to provide information, primarily revenue related, with respect to our principal GTM sales channels.
