NORWALK, Conn., Oct. 29, 2024 — Xerox Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ: XRX) today announced its 2024 third-quarter results.
"While equipment revenue fell short of expectations, we continue to see steady progress from Reinvention initiatives taken to date. Adjusted operating income and margin grew year-over-year, and the pending acquisition of ITsavvy will improve Xerox's value proposition with clients, as well as the mix of revenue from growing businesses,” said Steve Bandrowczak, chief executive officer at Xerox. “Q3 results demonstrate no single quarter or performance metric in isolation defines our Reinvention. Operational improvements and enterprise-wide efficiencies are driving services signings momentum, improved decision-making and a sustainably lower cost base. These gains give us confidence Reinvention will enable long-term profitable growth as we continue this multi-year journey."

1.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.
2.Third quarter 2024 Pre-Tax (Loss) and EPS include a pre-tax non-cash goodwill impairment charge of approximately $1.1 billion, and approximately $1.0 billion after-tax, respectively, or $8.16 per diluted share. EPS includes a tax expense charge of $161 million, or $1.29 per share, related to the establishment of a valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets to reflect their realizability. This adjustment was excluded due to its unique nature and significant impact which is not considered part of our core operations.
3.Reflects revenue, primarily commissions and other payments, made by the XFS segment to the Print and Other segment for the lease of Xerox equipment placements.
2024 Guidance Update
•Revenue: from a decline of 5% to 6% in constant currency1 to a decline of around 10% in constant currency 1
•Adjusted 1 Operating Margin: from at least 6.5% to around 5.0%
•Free cash flow1: from at least $550 million to a range of $450 to $500 million
2024 guidance excludes any impact from the pending acquisition of ITsavvy. Revenue guidance was lowered to reflect additional reductions in non-strategic revenue and lower-than-expected equipment sales. Adjusted 1 operating income margin guidance was lowered primarily to reflect the reduction in revenue guidance. Free cash flow1 guidance was lowered to reflect the after-tax impact of lower adjusted 1 operating income margin guidance.
Due to lower-than-expected revenue in 2024, we no longer expect to grow adjusted 1 operating income $300 million above 2023 levels by 2026. However, we continue to expect growth in adjusted1 operating income and a return to double-digit adjusted1 operating income margin over the course of our Reinvention.
Non-GAAP Measures
This release refers to the following non-GAAP financial measures:
•Adjusted1 EPS, which excludes the Goodwill impairment charge and a tax expense charge related to the establishment of a valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets, 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 1 operating income and margin, which exclude the EPS adjustments noted above, except the tax expense charge related to the establishment of a valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets, 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 1, which is operating cash flow less capital expenditures.

Third Quarter 2024 Overview
In the third quarter of 2024, the benefits of Reinvention drove improved financial results, albeit at a slower pace than expected. Third quarter 2024 included a second consecutive period of moderating revenue declines, year over year improvements in adjusted1 operating income and income margin, and more than 100 percent free cash flow conversion from adjusted1 operating income. Further, the pending acquisition of ITsavvy is expected to improve our mix of revenue from complementary, value-added businesses with higher underlying rates of revenue growth.
Equipment sales of $339 million in the third quarter 2024 declined 12.2% in actual and constant currency1, as compared to the third quarter 2023. The effects of fluctuations in backlog2 in the prior and current years and other Reinvention actions drove approximately 4.0-percentage points of the year-over-year decline. The remainder of the decline primarily reflects the delayed global launch of two new products, lower-than-expected improvements in sales force productivity, delays in the timing of installations associated with Hurricane Helene, unfavorable mix, and a large Production equipment sale in the prior year. Total equipment installations increased approximately 17.0% year-over-year, due to growth in entry level equipment.
Post-sale revenue of $1.2 billion declined 6.1% in actual currency, or 5.7% in constant currency1, as compared to third quarter 2023. The decline was primarily due to lower outsourcing and 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.
Pre-tax loss of approximately $1.1 billion for the third quarter 2024 decreased by approximately $1.2 billion as compared to pre-tax income of $64 million in the third quarter 2023. Third quarter 2024 includes a pre-tax, non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $1.1 billion ($1.0 billion after-tax) or $8.16 per share. As a result of a sustained market capitalization below our book value and current results, in the third quarter 2024 we performed a quantitative assessment of Goodwill. Although operating results and related cash flows are expected to sequentially improve in the fourth quarter 2024, and in 2025, we see greater risk to our previous outlooks and estimates, at least in the near term. This impact and the resulting effect on discounted future cash flows, continues to negatively impact the Company’s valuation resulting in the goodwill impairment charge for the third quarter 2024. The decrease associated with this charge was partially offset by an increase in adjusted1 operating income.
Adjusted1 operating income increased by $12 million as compared to third 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.
Revenue guidance was reduced from a decline of 5% to 6% in constant currency¹ to a decline of about 10% in constant currency¹, reflecting the incremental effects of intentional reductions in non-strategic revenue and lower equipment revenue associated with the delayed global launch of two new products and lower-than-expected improvements in sales force productivity.
The reduction in adjusted1 operating income guidance, from at least 6.5% to around 5.0%, reflects the effects of gross profit declines associated with the decline in revenue guidance, and to a lesser extent, delays in the implementation of certain cost reduction initiatives to 2025.
Free cash flow1 guidance was reduced from at least $550 million to a range of $450 million to $500 million, reflecting the after-tax effects of the reduction in adjusted1 operating income guidance.
Due to lower-than-expected revenue in 2024, we no longer expect to grow adjusted1 operating income $300 million above 2023 levels by 2026. However, we continue to expect growth in adjusted1 operating income and a return to double-digit adjusted1 operating income margin over the course of our Reinvention.

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 third 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
14
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
•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.

APPENDIX II
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 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.
