NORWALK, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Xerox Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ: XRX) today announced its 2022 third-quarter results.

“Over the past few months, I’ve met in-person with customers, partners and employees across the globe and I’ve gained greater insight into the range of opportunities we have to grow our business,” said Steve Bandrowczak, chief executive officer at Xerox. “Top-line strength and cost discipline resulted in sequential improvement to our adjusted operating margin this quarter, but profitability remains challenged by persistently high inflation and continued supply chain constraints. In the near-term, we are focused on improving operating margins and free cash flow amid a challenging macroeconomic environment. Longer-term, I am confident we can expand and capture more of the addressable market within – and create value for – our existing client base by further embedding our offerings into their workflows.”

2022 Guidance

Revenue from at least $7.1 billion to a range of $7.0 billion to $7.1 billion in actual currency.
Free cash flow from at least $400 million to at least $125 million.
Return at least 50% of free cash flow to shareholders.

We adjusted our revenue guidance primarily to reflect higher-than-expected currency effects associated with a weaker Euro and British Pound. We lowered our free cash flow guidance due to slower-than-expected supply chain improvements and persistently high rates of inflation, which negatively affected operating profit, as well as a greater-than-expected use of working capital to fund growth of originations and operating leases at FITTLE and inventories. Our free cash flow guidance excludes a one-time payment associated with a product supply contract termination charge.

Non-GAAP Measures

This release refers to the following non-GAAP financial measures:

Adjusted EPS, which excludes the Goodwill impairment charge as well as Restructuring and related costs, net, Amortization of intangible assets, non-service retirement-related costs, and other discrete adjustments from GAAP EPS, as applicable.
Adjusted operating (loss) income and margin, which exclude the EPS adjustments noted above as well as the remainder of Other expenses, net from pre-tax (loss) income and margin.
Constant currency (CC) revenue change, which excludes the effects of currency translation.
Free cash flow, which is operating cash flow less capital expenditures.

Refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section of this release for a discussion of these non-GAAP measures and their reconciliation to the reported GAAP measures.

Third Quarter 2022 Overview

Revenue growth this quarter accelerated in constant currency, reflecting the benefit from recent acquisitions as well as resilient demand for our products and services amid an increasingly challenging macroeconomic environment. Equipment revenue increased 0.8% in actual currency and included a 5.9-percentage point adverse impact from currency. The 6.7% increase in constant currency reflects the first quarter of equipment revenue growth since the supply chain constraints began last year. As expected, backlog¹ slightly declined sequentially, reflecting sustained order flow, offset by a gradual easing of supply constraints. While we were encouraged by supply chain improvements, the pace of improvement was slower than expected. The increase in Post sale revenue was driven by another strong quarter for paper and supplies. Growth in these consumables reflects the early benefits of recent pricing actions, and for supplies, an ongoing, gradual recovery of print-related activity. Post sale revenue also benefited from strong growth in IT and Digital Services, including contributions from recent acquisitions. Adjusted² operating profit margin declined 0.5-percentage points year-over-year but improved sequentially, reflecting the benefits of price and cost actions taken year-to-date. Improvement was slower than expected due to persistently high rates of inflation across our cost base, an unfavorable geographic mix in equipment sales, and a slower-than-expected easing of supply chain constraints.

The global macroeconomic outlook has become more volatile in the past three months but we are not yet seeing a meaningful effect of a global slowdown on our revenues. We continue to see resiliency in demand for our office products, particularly our A3 devices. However, consistent with the uncertain macro environment, we are beginning to see longer project deployment times, and in some cases, lower page volume commitments.

Due to the recent weakening of the Euro and British Pound, and an uncertain outlook for global foreign exchange rates, we are adjusting our full-year revenue guidance from at least $7.1 billion to a range of $7.0 billion to $7.1 billion in actual currency. Additionally, we are lowering our free cash flow guidance from at least $400 million to at least $125 million, both of which exclude a $41 million one-time payment associated with the termination of a product supply agreement. We lowered our free cash flow guidance due to slower-than-expected supply chain improvements and persistently high rates of inflation, which negatively affected operating profit, as well as a greater-than-expected use of working capital to fund originations growth at FITTLE and inventories.

Goodwill Impairment

Third quarter 2022 includes an after-tax non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $395 million ($412 million pre-tax) or $2.54 per share. As a result of recent macroeconomic volatility and continued supply chain constraints, our current results and internal forecasts indicate that the Company could have a slower than expected recovery from the impacts of the COVID pandemic and supply chain issues experienced over the past few years. Although operating results and related cash flows are expected to improve in the fourth quarter 2022, and in 2023, we see greater risk to our previous outlooks and estimates, at least in the near term. This impact combined with higher market interest rates and the resulting effect on valuation discount rates, continues to negatively impact the Company’s valuation resulting in the goodwill impairment charge for the third quarter 2022.

Reportable Segment Change

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company made a change to its reportable segments from one reportable segment to two reportable segments - Print and Other, and Financing (FITTLE) to align with a change in how the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), our Chief Executive Officer (CEO), allocates resources and assesses performance against the Company’s key growth strategies. As such, prior period reportable segment results and related disclosures have been conformed to reflect the Company’s current reportable segments.

Forward-Looking Statements

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.

A reconciliation 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 third quarter 2022 presentation slides available at www.xerox.com/investor.

Adjusted Earnings Measures

Net (Loss) Income and Earnings per share (EPS)
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.
Other discrete, unusual or infrequent items: We exclude these items, when applicable, given their discrete, unusual or infrequent nature and their impact on our results for the period.
- Non-cash goodwill impairment charge

Adjusted Operating (Loss) Income and Margin

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

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 and Geographic Sales Channels

Our business is organized to ensure we focus on efficiently managing operations while serving our customers and the markets in which we operate.

During 2021 we progressed with the standing up of three new businesses: Software (CareAR), Financing (FITTLE) and Innovation (PARC). As a result of this effort, during the first quarter 2022, we reassessed our operating and reportable segments and determined that, based on the financial information reviewed by our chief operating decision maker (CODM), who is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), as well as the CEO’s management and assessment of the Company’s operations, we had two operating and reportable segments - Print and Other, and Financing (FITTLE).

Print and Other - the design, development and sale of document management systems, solutions and services as well as associated technology offerings including IT and software products and services.
Financing (FITTLE) - a financing solutions business primarily providing financing for the sales of Xerox equipment.

We also determined that the other businesses - Software and Innovation - did not meet the requirements to be considered separate operating segments largely due to their continued management through the Print and Other Segment as well as their immateriality to our results at this stage. Accordingly, those groups will continue to be reported as part of the Print and Other segment.

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 includes 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 monochrome and color segments serving centralized print centers, print for pay and lower 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.

The Financing (FITTLE) segment provides leasing solutions through either bundled or unbundled lease agreements of Xerox products or direct purchases of equipment. These leasing solutions support a wide range of customers, from government to graphic communications and SMB to Enterprise as well as financing for direct channel customer purchases of both Xerox and non-Xerox equipment. Segment revenues primarily include financing income on sales-type leases, operating lease income (including month to month rentals and extensions) and leasing fees.

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, and Central and South America.
EMEA, which includes our sales channels in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and India.
Other, primarily includes sales to Fuji Xerox as well as 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.
