Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Xerox Holdings Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of (loss) income, of comprehensive loss, of shareholders' equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, including the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
Basis for Opinions
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management has excluded ITsavvy Acquisition Company, Inc. ("ITsavvy") from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 because it was acquired by the Company in a purchase business combination during 2024. We have also excluded ITsavvy from our audit of internal control over financial reporting. ITsavvy is a wholly-owned subsidiary whose total assets and total revenues excluded from management’s assessment and our audit of internal control over financial reporting represented less than 1%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Goodwill Impairment Assessment - Print and Other Reporting Unit
As described in Notes 2 and 12 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s consolidated goodwill, net balance was $1,937 million as of December 31, 2024, which is fully allocated to the Print and Other reporting unit. Management assesses goodwill for impairment at least annually, and more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, goodwill is not considered impaired. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, goodwill is considered impaired, and management would recognize an impairment loss for the excess. In a quantitative impairment test, management assesses goodwill by comparing the carrying amount of the reporting unit to its fair value, and the fair value of the reporting unit is determined by using a weighted combination of an income approach and a market approach. In the third quarter of 2024, management concluded that a quantitative impairment test of goodwill was required. Based on that test, management determined that the estimated fair value of the Print and Other reporting unit had declined below its carrying value and recognized an after-tax non-cash impairment charge of $1,015 million ($1,058 million pre-tax) related to the Company’s goodwill. As disclosed by management, the income approach is based on the discounted cash flow method that uses management’s estimates of forecasted future financial performance including revenues, gross margins, operating expenses, and taxes. Projected cash flows are then discounted to a present value employing a discount rate that properly accounts for the estimated market weighted-average cost of capital, as well as any risks unique to the subject cash flows.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the goodwill impairment assessment of the Print and Other reporting unit is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value estimate of the Print and Other reporting unit; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to estimates of forecasted revenues, gross margins, operating expenses, and taxes, and the discount rate; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s goodwill impairment assessment, including controls over the fair value estimate of the Print and Other reporting unit. These procedures also included, among others (i) testing management’s process for developing the fair value estimate of the Print and Other reporting unit; (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow method used by management; (iii) testing the completeness and
Xerox 2024 Annual Report 72
Table of Contents Legal Sign-off 2.24.25
accuracy of underlying data used in the discounted cash flow method; and (iv) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management related to estimates of forecasted revenues, gross margins, operating expenses, and taxes, and the discount rate. Evaluating management’s assumptions related to estimates of forecasted revenues, gross margins, operating expenses, and taxes involved evaluating whether the assumptions used by management were reasonable considering (i) the current and past performance of the Print and Other reporting unit; (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data; and (iii) whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating (i) the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow method and (ii) the reasonableness of the discount rate assumption.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
References to “Xerox Holdings” refer to Xerox Holdings Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries while references to “Xerox” refer to Xerox Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries or Xerox Holdings Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, as determined by the context. References herein to “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” refer collectively to both Xerox Holdings and Xerox unless the context suggests otherwise. References to “Xerox Holdings Corporation” refer to the stand-alone parent company and do not include its subsidiaries. References to “Xerox Corporation” refer to the stand-alone company and do not include its subsidiaries.
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes represent the respective consolidated results and financial results of Xerox Holdings and Xerox and all respective companies that each registrant directly or indirectly controls, either through majority ownership or otherwise. This is a combined report of Xerox Holdings and Xerox, which includes separate Consolidated Financial Statements for each registrant.
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of both Xerox Holdings and Xerox have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).
For convenience and ease of reference, we refer to the financial statement caption “Loss before Income Taxes” as “pre-tax loss”.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the activity for both Xerox Holdings and Xerox for all periods presented, unless otherwise noted.
Description of Business
Currently, Xerox Holdings' primary direct operating subsidiary is Xerox and therefore Xerox represents nearly all of Xerox Holdings' operations. Xerox is a global enterprise for workplace technology that integrates hardware, services and software for large to small enterprises. As customers seek to manage information and document workflows across digital and physical platforms, we deliver secure and sustainable document management solutions. We provide advanced document technology, services, software for a range of customers including small and mid-sized businesses, large enterprises, governments and graphic communications providers, and for our partners who serve them. Xerox serves customers globally in North America, Latin America, Brazil, Europe, Eurasia, the Middle East, Africa and India.
Xerox Holdings' other direct subsidiary, Xerox Ventures LLC, which was established solely to invest in startups and early/mid-stage growth companies aligned with the Company’s innovation focus areas and targeted adjacencies. At December 31, 2023 Xerox Ventures, LLC held investments of $ 26 . In January 2024, Myriad Ventures Fund I LP (Myriad) was established, and the investments held by Xerox Ventures LLC were transferred to Myriad, which will continue to be fully consolidated by Xerox Holdings. The investments are normally equity or equity-linked and for less than 20% ownership. Since the investments normally do not have readily determinable fair values, they are accounted for under the measurement alternative per ASC Topic 321-10-35-2. At December 31, 2024, Myriad had investments of $ 40 .
Basis of Consolidation
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Investments in business entities in which we do not have control, but we have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies (generally 20 % to 50 % ownership) are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Operating results of acquired businesses are included in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income from the date of acquisition.
We consolidate variable interest entities if we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the entity. Operating results for variable interest entities in which we are determined to be the primary beneficiary are included in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income from the date such determination is made.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Future events and their effects cannot be predicted with certainty; accordingly, our accounting estimates
Xerox 2024 Annual Report 89
Table of Contents Legal Sign-off 2.24.25
require the exercise of judgment. The accounting estimates used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements will change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. Our estimates are based on management's best available information including current events, historical experience, actions that the company may undertake in the future and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. As a result, actual results may be different from these estimates.
In the ordinary course of accounting for the items discussed above, we make changes in estimates as appropriate and as we become aware of new or revised circumstances surrounding those estimates. Such changes and refinements in estimation methodologies are reflected in reported results of operations in the period in which the changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
New Accounting Standards and Accounting Changes
Xerox Holdings and Xerox consider the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). The ASUs listed below apply to both registrants. Except for the Accounting Standard Updates (ASUs) discussed below, the new ASUs issued by the FASB during the last two years did not have any significant impact on the Company.
Accounting Standard Updates to be Adopted:
Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 , Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures , which includes amendments that further enhance income tax disclosures, primarily through standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The amendments are effective for the Company’s annual periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted, and should be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard to determine its impact on the Company's disclosures.
Income Statement
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 , Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses , which is intended to improve disclosures related to certain income statement expenses of the Company. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard to determine its impact on the Company's disclosures.
Debt
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04 , Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments, which is intended to clarify requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments, including convertible debt instruments with cash conversion features or convertible debt instruments that are not currently convertible, should be accounted for as an induced conversion. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard to determine its impact on the Company's disclosures.
Accounting Standard Updates Recently Adopted:
Reference Rate Reform
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 , Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or by another reference rate expected to be discontinued. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01 , Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Scope, which provided clarification to ASU 2020-04. These ASUs were effective commencing with our quarter ended March 31, 2020 through December 31, 2022. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06 , Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which deferred the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022, to December 31,
Xerox 2024 Annual Report 90
Table of Contents Legal Sign-off 2.24.25
2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in Topic 848. This ASU did not have an impact on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Segment Disclosures
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 , Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures , which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant expenses. The update requires public entities to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and included within segment profit and loss. The amendment was effective for the Company's annual periods beginning January 1, 2024, and interim periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted, and are applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. This ASU only requires additional disclosures, and did not have an impact on the company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Refer to Note 4 - Segment and Geographic Area Reporting for the required disclosures effective January 1, 2024.
Liabilities
In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04 , Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations that requires entities that use supplier finance programs in connection with the purchase of goods and services to disclose the key terms of the programs and information about obligations outstanding at the end of the reporting period, including a rollforward of those obligations. The guidance does not affect the recognition, measurement or financial statement presentation of supplier finance program obligations. The new standard’s requirements to disclose the key terms of the programs and information about obligations outstanding was effective for our fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2023. The new standard’s requirement to disclose a rollforward of obligations outstanding was effective for our fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2024. Refer to Note 14 - Supplementary Financial Information for the required disclosures.
Financial Instruments
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02 , Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures - Gross Write-offs. The amendments in this update eliminate the accounting guidance for Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs) by creditors while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructurings by creditors made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The amendments also require disclosure of current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables. The disclosure of current-period gross write-offs by year of origination is applicable for financing receivables and net investments in leases that are within the scope of ASC 326-20 , Financial Instruments - Credit Losses - Measured at Amortized Cost . This update was effective for our fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2023. The provisions of this amendment are to be applied on a prospective basis. Refer to Note 8 - Finance Receivables, Net for required disclosures regarding gross write-offs by vintage year.
Government Assistance
In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10 , Government Assistance (Topic 832), Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance. The update increases the transparency surrounding government assistance by requiring disclosure of 1) the types of assistance received, 2) an entity’s accounting for the assistance, and 3) the effect of the assistance on the entity’s financial statements. We adopted this update effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2022. The impact of adoption was not material to our Consolidated Financial Statements. Impacts on future periods will depend on the amounts of government assistance received. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the amounts of government assistance the Company received were not material and since the update is limited to increased disclosures, the adoption did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Business Combinations
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08 , Business Combinations (Topic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers . The new guidance requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as if the acquirer had originated the contracts. This approach differs from the current requirement to measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination at fair value. We early adopted this update effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2022. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The standard did not impact contract assets or liabilities acquired in business combinations that occurred prior to the adoption date.
Xerox 2024 Annual Report 91
Table of Contents Legal Sign-off 2.24.25
Debt
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06 , Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). This update simplified the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models available for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. This update also amended the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity's own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions and required the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share. We adopted this update effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2022. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Other Updates
In 2024 , 2023 and 2022 the FASB also issued the following ASUs, which could impact the Company in the future but currently did not have, nor are expected to have, a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or related disclosures upon adoption. Those updates are as follows:
• Codification Improvements: ASU 2024-02 , Codification Improvements - Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements. This update is effective for our fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2024.
• Compensation - Stock Compensation: ASU 2024-01 , Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) -
Scope Applications of Profits Interest and Similar Awards. This update is effective for the annual period beginning after December 15, 2024, as well as interim periods within that period, with early adoption permitted.
• Disclosure Improvements: ASU 2023-06 , Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. Since the Company is already subject to SEC disclosure requirements, this update was effective upon issuance.
• Business Combinations: ASU 2023-05 , Business Combinations - Joint Venture Formation (Topic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement. This update is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2025.
• Liabilities: ASU 2023-04 , Liabilities (Topic 405): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 121. The Company adopted this conforming guidance upon issuance in August 2023.
• Investments: ASU 2023-02 , Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force).

Summary of Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition
We generate revenue through the sale of Print and IT hardware equipment and supplies and by providing maintenance, managed Print, Digital and IT services. Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer and is recognized when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control of a product to a customer or in the period the customer benefits from the service. With the exception of our sales-type lease arrangements, our invoices to the customer, which normally have short-term payment terms, are typically aligned to the transfer of goods or as services are rendered to our customers and therefore in most cases, we recognize revenue based on our right to invoice customers. As a result of the application of this practical expedient for the substantial portion of our revenue, the disclosure of the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for our services is not required.
Significant judgments primarily include the identification of performance obligations in our Document management services arrangements as well as the pattern of delivery for those services.
More specifically, revenue related to our products and services is generally recognized as follows:
Equipment: Revenues from the sale of equipment directly to end-user customers, including those from sales-type leases (see below), are recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with our customer are satisfied and control has been transferred to the customer. For equipment placements that require us to install the product at
Xerox 2024 Annual Report 92
Table of Contents Legal Sign-off 2.24.25
the customer location, revenue is normally recognized when the equipment has been delivered and installed at the customer location. Sales of customer installable products are recognized upon shipment or receipt by the customer according to the customer's shipping terms. Revenue from the equipment performance obligation also includes certain analyst training services performed in connection with the installation or delivery of the equipment. When training is essential to the functionality of the related equipment the equipment revenue is recorded when the obligation is satisfied.
Maintenance services: We provide maintenance agreements on our equipment that include service and supplies for which the customer may pay a base minimum plus a price-per-page charge for usage. In arrangements that include minimums, those minimums are normally set below the customer’s estimated page volumes and are not considered substantive. These agreements are normally sold as part of a bundled lease arrangement or through distributors and resellers. We account for these maintenance agreements as a single performance obligation for maintenance services being delivered in a series with delivery being measured by usage as billed to the customer. Accordingly, revenue on these types of agreements is normally recognized as billed to the customer over the term of the agreements based on page volumes. Maintenance and support associated with our IT Solutions are recorded as our performance obligations are satisfied. A substantial portion of our products are sold with full-service maintenance agreements. Accordingly, other than the product warranty obligations associated with certain of our entry level products, we do not have any significant warranty obligations, including any obligations under customer satisfaction programs.
Service offerings: The Company’s primary service offerings include Managed Print Services, Digital Services and IT Solutions. In our services arrangements, the Company typically satisfies the performance obligations and recognizes revenue over time as the services are rendered. We generally account for these service arrangements as single performance obligations since they primarily involve the delivery of an integrated service to the customer with services being delivered in a series. Delivery is typically measured on an output basis such as usage and is normally consistent with the billing or invoicing to the customer. Revenues on unit-price or time-based contracts are recognized as work is completed to the customer.
Sales to distributors and resellers: We utilize distributors and resellers to sell our equipment, supplies, parts, and maintenance services to end-user customers. We refer to our distributor and reseller network as our two-tier distribution model. Revenues on sales to distributors and resellers are generally recognized when products are shipped to such distributors and resellers. However, revenue is only recognized when the distributor or reseller has economic substance apart from the Company such that collectability is probable and we have no further obligations related to bringing about the resale, delivery or installation of the product that would impact transfer of control. Revenues associated with maintenance agreements sold through distributors and resellers to end-user customers are recognized in a consistent manner for maintenance services. Revenue that may be subject to a reversal of revenue due to contractual terms or uncertainties is not recorded as revenue until the contractual provisions lapse or the uncertainties are resolved.
Distributors and resellers participate in various rebate, price-protection, cooperative marketing and other programs. We estimate the variable consideration associated with these programs and record those amounts as a reduction to revenue when sales occur. Similarly, we account for our estimates of sales returns and other allowances when sales occur based on our historical experience.
In certain instances, we may provide lease financing to end-user customers who purchased equipment we sold to distributors or resellers. We are not obligated to provide financing and we compete with other third-party leasing companies with respect to the lease financing provided to these end-user customers.
Software: Most of our equipment has both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the equipment's essential functionality and therefore they are accounted for together as part of Equipment sales revenues. Software accessories sold in connection with our Equipment sales, as well as free-standing software sales, are accounted for as separate performance obligations if determined to be material in relation to the overall arrangement, which is recognized as our obligations are fulfilled.
Supplies: Supplies revenue is recognized upon transfer of control to the customer, generally upon utilization or shipment to the customer in accordance with the sales contract terms.
Financing: Finance income attributable to sales-type leases, direct financing leases and installment loans is recognized on the accrual basis using the effective interest method.
Bundled Lease Arrangements: A portion of our direct sales of equipment to end-user customers are made through bundled lease arrangements which typically include equipment, services (maintenance and managed services) and financing components, where the customer pays a single negotiated fixed minimum monthly payment for all elements over the contractual lease term. These arrangements also typically include an incremental, variable
Xerox 2024 Annual Report 93
Table of Contents Legal Sign-off 2.24.25
component for page volumes in excess of the contractual page volume minimums, which are often expressed in terms of price-per-image or page. Consistent with the guidance in ASC 842 and ASC 606, the transaction price is allocated between the lease and non-lease deliverables based on standalone selling price (SSP). Lease deliverables include the equipment and financing, while the non-lease deliverables generally consist of the services, which normally include supplies. With respect to the allocation of fixed and variable consideration, we only consider the fixed payments for purposes of allocation to the lease elements of the contract.
The revenue associated with the lease element is typically recognized at a point-in-time upon transfer of control as a sales-type lease, unless the lease is accounted for as an operating lease, which will normally result in recognition over the term of the lease. The revenue associated with the non-lease elements are normally accounted for as a single performance obligation being delivered in a series, with delivery being measured as the usage is billed to the customer. Accordingly, revenue from these agreements is recognized in a manner consistent with the guidance for Maintenance or Managed Print services agreements.
We establish SSP using observable inputs from standalone sales of products, as well as the prices established by management in similar transactions. Based on historical sales practices and policies together with a periodic analysis, we have determined that there is not a material difference between standalone selling price and recorded sales price.
Leases: The two primary accounting provisions we use to classify transactions as sales-type or operating leases are: (i) a review of the lease term to determine if it is for the major part of the economic life of the underlying equipment (defined as greater than 75%); and (ii) a review of the present value of the lease payments to determine if they are equal to or greater than substantially all of the fair market value of the equipment at the inception of the lease (defined as greater than 90%). Equipment placements included in arrangements meeting these conditions are accounted for as sales-type leases and revenue is recognized in a manner consistent with Equipment sales. Equipment placements included in arrangements that do not meet these conditions are accounted for as operating leases and revenue is recognized over the term of the lease.
We consider the economic life of most of our products to be five years , since this represents the most frequent contractual lease term for our principal products and only a small percentage of our leases are for original terms longer than five years . There is no significant after-market for our used equipment. We believe five years is representative of the period during which the equipment is expected to be economically usable, with normal service, for the purpose for which it is intended.
Our lease pricing interest rates, which are used in determining customer payments in a bundled lease arrangement, are developed based upon a variety of factors including local prevailing rates in the marketplace, cost of funds and the customer’s credit history, industry and credit class. We reassess our pricing interest rates quarterly based on changes in the local prevailing rates in the marketplace. The pricing interest rates generally equal the implicit rates within the leases, as corroborated by our comparisons of cash to lease selling prices and other analyses as noted above.
Additional Lease Payments: Certain leases may require the customer to pay property taxes and insurance on the equipment. In these instances, the amounts for property taxes and insurance that we invoice to customers and pay to third parties are considered variable payments and are recorded as other revenues and other cost of revenues, respectively. Amounts related to property taxes and insurance are not material. We exclude from variable payments all lessor costs that are explicitly required to be paid directly by a lessee on behalf of the lessor to a third party.
Other Revenue Recognition Policies
Revenue-based Taxes: Revenue-based taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are both imposed on and concurrent with specific revenue-producing transactions, and that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue. The primary revenue-based taxes are sales tax and value-added tax (VAT).
Shipping and Handling: Shipping and handling costs are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in Cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income .
Refer to Note 3 - Revenue for additional information regarding revenue recognition policies with respect to contract assets and liabilities as well as contract costs.

Other Significant Accounting Policies
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, including money market funds, and investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Credit Losses
The allowance for doubtful accounts and provision for credit losses represents an estimate of the losses expected to be incurred from the Company's trade and finance receivable portfolio. The measurement and recognition of expected credit losses is based on an expected loss model and incorporates an assessment of past collection experience as well as consideration of current and future economic conditions and changes in our customer collection trends.
The allowance of finance receivables is determined on a collective basis by year of origination through the application of projected loss rates to our different portfolios by country, which represent our portfolio segments. This is the level at which we develop and document our methodology to determine the allowance for credit losses. These projected loss rates are primarily based upon historical experience adjusted for judgments about the probable effects of relevant observable data including current and future economic conditions as well as delinquency trends, resolution rates, the aging of receivables, credit quality indicators and the financial health of specific customer classes or groups.
The allowance for finance receivables is inherently more difficult to estimate than the allowance for trade accounts receivable because the underlying lease portfolio has an average maturity, at any time, of approximately two to three years and contains past due billed amounts, as well as unbilled amounts. We consider all available information in our quarterly assessments of the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. We believe our estimates, including any qualitative adjustments, are reasonable and have considered all reasonably available information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future events and economic conditions. The identification of account-specific exposure is not a significant factor in establishing the allowance for doubtful finance receivables.
Receivable Sales and Securitization
The Company securitizes certain finance lease receivables by transferring them to Special Purpose Entities (SPEs) that meet the definition of a Variable Interest Entity (VIE) and are consolidated into our financial statements. These SPEs are bankruptcy-remote legal entities with separate assets and liabilities. The purpose of the SPEs is to facilitate the funding of customer loan and lease payments and associated equipment in the capital markets. These securitizations qualify as collateral for secured borrowings and no gains or losses are recognized at the time of securitization. The receivables remain on the balance sheet and are classified as Finance receivables, net. The Company continues to recognize finance income over the lives of these receivables.
We also transfer certain portions of our finance receivable portfolios to third parties and account for those transfers of financial assets as sales when we have surrendered control over the related assets. Whether control has been relinquished requires, among other things, an evaluation of relevant legal considerations and an assessment of the nature and extent of the Company’s continuing involvement with the assets transferred. Gains and losses stemming from transfers reported as sales are normally included in revenue in the accompanying Statements of (Loss) Income. Gains or losses on the sale of finance receivables depend, in part, on both (a) the cash proceeds and (b) the net non-cash proceeds received or paid. Assets obtained and liabilities incurred in connection with transfers reported as sales are initially recognized in the balance sheet at fair value. Refer to Note 8 – Finance Receivables, Net for additional information on our finance receivable sales.
Inventories
Inventories are carried at the lower of average cost or net realizable value. Inventories also include equipment that is returned at the end of the lease term. Returned equipment is recorded at the lower of remaining net book value or salvage value, which is normally not significant. We regularly review inventory quantities and record a provision for excess and/or obsolete inventory based primarily on our estimated forecast of product demand, production requirements and servicing commitments. Several factors may influence the realizability of our inventories, including our decision to exit a product line, technological changes and new product development. The provision for excess and/or obsolete raw materials and equipment inventories is based primarily on near-term forecasts of product demand and include consideration of new product introductions, as well as changes in remanufacturing strategies. The provision for excess and/or obsolete service parts inventory is based primarily on projected servicing requirements over the life of the related equipment populations. Refer to Note 9 - Inventories and Equipment on Operating Leases, Net for further discussion.
Xerox 2024 Annual Report 95
Table of Contents Legal Sign-off 2.24.25
Land, Buildings and Equipment on Operating Leases
Land, buildings and equipment are recorded at cost. Buildings and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life. Equipment on operating leases is depreciated to estimated salvage value over the lease term. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. Significant leasehold improvements are capitalized, and maintenance and repairs are expensed. Refer to Note 9 - Inventories and Equipment on Operating Leases, Net and Note 10 - Land, Buildings, Equipment and Software, Net for further discussion.
Leased Assets
We determine at inception whether an arrangement is a lease. Our leases do not include assets of a specialized nature, or the transfer of ownership at the end of the lease, and the exercise of end-of-lease purchase options, which are primarily in our equipment leases, is not reasonably assured at lease inception. Accordingly, the two primary criteria we use to classify transactions as operating leases or finance leases are: (i) a review of the lease term to determine if it is equal to or greater than 75% of the economic life of the asset, and (ii) a review of the present value of the minimum lease payments to determine if they are equal to or greater than 90% of the fair market value of the asset at the inception of the lease. Right-of-use (ROU) assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. We also assess arrangements for goods or services to determine if the arrangement contains a lease at its inception. This assessment first considers whether there is an implicitly or explicitly identified asset in the arrangement and then whether there is a right to control the use of the asset. If there is an embedded lease within a contract, the Company determines the classification of the lease at the lease inception date consistent with standalone leases of assets.
Operating leases are included in Other long-term assets, Accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and Other long-term liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Finance leases are included in Land, buildings and equipment, net, Accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and Other long-term liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Since the implicit rate for almost all of our leases is not readily determinable, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that we would have to pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis, an amount equal to the lease payments, in a similar economic environment and over a similar term. The rate is dependent on several factors, including the lease term and currency of the lease payments.
Lease terms used to calculate the present value of lease payments generally do not include any options to extend, renew, or terminate the lease, as we do not have reasonable certainty at lease inception that these options will be exercised. We generally consider the economic life of our operating lease ROU assets to be comparable to the useful life of similar owned assets. We have elected the short-term lease exception, therefore operating lease ROU assets and liabilities do not include leases with a lease term of twelve months or less. Our leases generally do not provide a residual guarantee. The operating lease ROU asset also excludes lease incentives.
Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. These components are accounted for separately for vehicle and equipment leases. We account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for real estate leases of offices and warehouses.
We review the potential impairment of our ROU assets consistent with the approach applied for our other long-lived assets. We review the recoverability of our long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on our ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows of the related operations. We have elected to include the carrying amount of operating lease liabilities in any tested asset group and include the associated operating lease payments in the undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows.
Software - Internal Use and Product
We capitalize direct costs associated with developing, purchasing or otherwise acquiring software for internal use and amortize these costs on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life of the software, beginning when the software is implemented (Internal Use Software). Costs incurred for upgrades and enhancements that will not result
Xerox 2024 Annual Report 96
Table of Contents Legal Sign-off 2.24.25
in additional functionality are expensed as incurred. Amounts expended for Internal Use Software are included in Cash Flows from Investing activities.
We also capitalize certain costs related to the development of software solutions to be sold to our customers upon reaching technological feasibility (Product Software). These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic life of the software. Amounts expended for Product Software are included in Cash Flows from Operations. We perform periodic reviews to ensure that unamortized Product Software costs remain recoverable from estimated future operating profits (net realizable value or NRV). Costs to support or service licensed software are charged to Costs of services as incurred. Refer to Note 10 - Land, Buildings, Equipment and Software, Net for further information.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of acquired net assets in a business combination, including the amount assigned to identifiable intangible assets. The primary drivers that generate Goodwill are the value of synergies between the acquired entities and the company and the acquired assembled workforce, neither of which qualifies as an identifiable intangible asset. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable and an impairment loss may have been incurred.
We assess Goodwill for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist or if a decision is made to sell or exit a business. Impairment testing for Goodwill is done at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment (a component) if the component constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available, and segment management regularly reviews the operating results of that component. Consistent with the determination that we had two operating/reportable segments we determined that we had two reporting units – Print and Other, and XFS.
We perform an assessment of Goodwill, utilizing either a qualitative or quantitative impairment test. The qualitative impairment test assesses several factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If we conclude it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, a quantitative fair value test is performed. In certain circumstances, we may also bypass the qualitative test and proceed directly to a quantitative impairment test. In a quantitative impairment test, we assess Goodwill by comparing the carrying amount of the reporting unit to its fair value. Fair value of the reporting unit is determined by using a weighted combination of an income approach and a market approach. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, Goodwill is not considered impaired. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, Goodwill is considered impaired, and we would recognize an impairment loss for the excess.
Other intangible assets primarily consist of assets obtained in connection with business acquisitions, including installed customer base and distribution network relationships, existing technology, trademarks and non-compete agreements. We apply an impairment evaluation whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying value of our intangible assets may not be recoverable. Other intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated economic lives. We believe that the straight-line method of amortization reflects an appropriate allocation of the cost of the intangible assets to earnings in proportion to the amount of economic benefits obtained annually by the Company. Refer to Note 12 - Goodwill, Net and Intangible Assets, Net for further information.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We review the recoverability of our long-lived assets, including buildings, equipment, right-of-use leased assets, internal use software and other intangible assets, when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on our ability to recover the carrying value of the asset group from the expected future pre-tax cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) of the related operations. If these cash flows are less than the carrying value of such asset group, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between estimated fair value and carrying value. Our primary measure of fair value is based on discounted cash flows. Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Long-lived assets to be disposed of other than by sale (e.g., by abandonment, cease-use) would continue to be classified as held and used until the long-lived asset is disposed of (e.g., abandoned or when the asset ceases to be used).
Refer to Note 13 - Restructuring Programs for additional information regarding the impairment of long-lived assets in connection with our restructuring programs and initiatives.

Pension and Post-Retirement Benefit Obligations
We sponsor various forms of defined benefit pension plans in several countries covering employees who meet eligibility requirements. Retiree health benefit plans cover a portion of our U.S. and Canadian employees for retiree medical costs. We employ a delayed recognition feature in measuring the costs of pension and post-retirement benefit plans. This requires changes in the benefit obligations and changes in the value of assets set aside to meet those obligations to be recognized not as they occur, but systematically and gradually over subsequent periods. All changes are ultimately recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost, except to the extent they may be offset by subsequent changes. At any point, changes that have been identified and quantified but not recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost are recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax.
Several statistical and other factors that attempt to anticipate future events are used in calculating the expense, liability and asset values related to our pension and retiree health benefit plans. These factors include assumptions we make about the applicable discount rate, expected return on plan assets, cash balance interest-crediting rate, rate of increase in healthcare costs, the rate of future compensation increases and mortality. Actual returns on plan assets are not immediately recognized in our income statement due to the delayed recognition requirement. In calculating the expected return on the plan asset component of our net periodic pension cost, we apply our estimate of the long-term rate of return on the plan assets that support our pension obligations, after deducting assets that are specifically allocated to Transitional Retirement Accounts (which are accounted for based on specific plan terms).
For purposes of determining the expected return on plan assets, we utilize a market-related value approach in determining the value of the pension plan assets, rather than a fair market value approach. The primary difference between the two methods relates to systematic recognition of changes in fair value over time (generally two years ) versus immediate recognition of changes in fair value. Our expected rate of return on plan assets is applied to the market-related asset value to determine the amount of the expected return on plan assets to be used in the determination of the net periodic pension cost. The market-related value approach reduces the volatility in net periodic pension cost that would result from using the fair market value approach.
The discount rate is used to determine the present value our future anticipated benefit obligations. The discount rate reflects the current rate at which benefit liabilities could be effectively settled considering the timing of expected payments for plan participants. In estimating our discount rate, we consider rates of return on high-quality fixed-income investments adjusted to eliminate the effects of call provisions, as well as the expected timing of pension and other benefit payments.
Each year, the difference between the actual return on plan assets and the expected return on plan assets, as well as increases or decreases in the benefit obligation as a result of changes in the discount rate and other actuarial assumptions, are added to or subtracted from any cumulative actuarial gain or loss from prior years. This amount is the net actuarial gain or loss recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. We amortize net actuarial gains and losses as a component of net pension cost for a year if, as of the beginning of the year, that net gain or loss (excluding asset gains or losses that have not been recognized in market-related value) exceeds 10% of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or the market-related value of plan assets (the corridor method). This determination is made on a plan-by-plan basis. If amortization is required for a particular plan, we amortize the applicable net gain or loss in excess of the 10% threshold on a straight-line basis in net periodic pension cost over the remaining service period of the employees participating in that pension plan. In plans where substantially all participants are inactive, the amortization period for the excess is the average remaining life expectancy of the plan participants.
Our primary domestic plans allow participants the option of settling their vested benefits through the receipt of a lump-sum payment. The participant's vested benefit is considered fully settled upon payment of the lump sum. We have elected to apply settlement accounting and therefore we recognize the losses associated with settlements in this plan immediately upon the settlement of the vested benefits. Settlement accounting requires us to recognize a pro rata portion of the aggregate unamortized net actuarial losses upon settlement. The pro rata factor is computed as the percentage reduction in the projected benefit obligation due to the settlement of the participant's vested benefit. During 2024, the US pension plans became subject to restrictions on the portion of the benefit (50)% that can be paid as a lump sum. Since the portion of the benefit that cannot be paid as a lump sum is paid as an annuity, the payment of 50% of the lump sum does not relieve the pension plans of the full obligation for benefits for each respective participant electing a lump sum therefore, no settlement accounting was applied. These restrictions did not apply for all of 2024 and there is settlement accounting for full lump sums paid early in 2024. Settlement accounting will not apply in future years for which restrictions apply. Refer to Note 18 - Employee Benefit Plans for further information regarding our Pension and Post-Retirement Benefit Obligations.

Research, Development and Engineering (RD&E)
Research, development and engineering costs are expensed as incurred. Sustaining engineering costs are incurred with respect to on-going product improvements or environmental compliance after initial product launch. Sustaining engineering costs were $ 49 , $ 55 and $ 58 in for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Foreign Currency Translation and Remeasurement
The functional currency for most of our foreign operations is the local currency. Net assets are translated at current rates of exchange and income, expense and cash flow items are translated at average exchange rates for the applicable period. The translation adjustments are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss.
The U.S. Dollar is used as the functional currency for certain foreign subsidiaries that conduct their business in U.S. Dollars as well as foreign subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies. For these subsidiaries, non-monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities are translated using historical rates, while monetary assets and liabilities are translated at current rates, with the U.S. dollar effects of rate changes recorded in Currency (gains) and losses within Other expenses, net together with other foreign currency remeasurements.

Contract Costs:
We incur the following contract costs as part of our revenue arrangements:
• Incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract are primarily sales commissions paid to salespeople and agents in connection with the placement of equipment with post sale services arrangements. These costs are deferred and amortized to Selling Expenses on a straight-line basis over the estimated contract term, which is currently estimated to be approximately four years .
• Contract fulfillment costs are costs incurred for resources and assets that will be used to satisfy our future performance obligations included in our service arrangements. These costs are amortized over the contractual service period of the arrangement to cost of services.
• Contract inducements are capitalized and amortized as a reduction of revenue over the term of the contract.

Our reportable segments – Print and Other , and XFS – are aligned to how the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), allocates resources and assesses performance against the Company’s key growth strategies and are consistent with how we manage the business and view the markets we serve. Our CODM is our Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
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. 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 teams environments as well as products in the Light Production product groups 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.
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 the 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 leasing for direct channel customer purchases of Xerox solutions 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.

We have entered into finance receivables funding agreements with HPS Investment Partners (HPS) in the U.S., and with De Lage Landen Financial Services Canada Inc. (DLL) in Canada. Refer to Note 8 - Finance Receivables, Net for additional information regarding our finance receivables funding agreements.
In the third quarter 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with PEAC Solutions (a subsidiary of HPS) that named PEAC as the provider of certain leasing and financial services programs for Xerox and non-Xerox equipment sold through our U.S. network of independent dealers and resellers. In the fourth quarter 2023, our partnership with PEAC Solutions was further expanded to include the transition of some XFS U.S. employees in risk, IT, and operations to PEAC Solutions. Upon completion of this transition, PEAC Solutions became the preferred financing partner, primary funder, and service provider for XBS leases in the U.S.
Segment Policy
We derive the results of our business segments directly from our internal management reporting system. The accounting policies that the Company uses to derive its segment results are substantially the same as those used by the Company in preparing its consolidated financial statements. The segment results include a significant level of management estimates regarding the allocation of revenues such as finance income in bundled lease arrangements and other leasing revenues and operating lease revenues embedded in our managed services contracts as well as the allocation of expenses for shared selling and administrative services. Accordingly, the financial results for the segments may not be indicative of the results the businesses would have on a standalone basis or what might be presented for the businesses in stand-alone financial statements. The CODM measures the performance of each segment based on several metrics, including segment revenues, significant segment expenses, and segment profit. A segment expense is considered significant when it is material to the segment, is included in the measure of segment profit, and is included in information that is regularly provided to the CODM. The CODM uses segment revenues, significant segment expenses, and segment profit, in part, to evaluate the performance of, and to allocate resources to each segment. Segment profit is the only measure of profitability that is used by the CODM to evaluate the performance of, and to allocate resources to each segment.
The analysis of segment expenses has been applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements.

Note 5 – Lessor
Revenue from sales-type leases is presented on a gross basis when the Company enters into a lease to realize value from a product that it would otherwise sell in its ordinary course of business, whereas in transactions where the Company enters into a lease for the purpose of generating revenue by providing financing, the profit or loss, if any, is presented on a net basis. In addition, we have elected to account for sales tax and other similar taxes collected from a lessee as lessee costs and therefore we exclude these costs from contract consideration and variable consideration and present revenue net of these costs.

period excess earnings method which calculates the present value of the estimated revenues and net cash flows derived from it. The present value of projected future cash flows included judgment and assumptions regarding projected future revenues, projected expenses, attrition rates, and the discount rate.
Trademark represents the preliminary estimated fair value of the ITsavvy trade name. The fair value was determined by applying the relief-from-royalty method under the income approach. This method is based on the application of a royalty rate to forecasted revenue under the trade name. Intangible assets of approximately $ 59 is deductible for tax purposes as a result of previous taxable acquisitions made by ITsavvy.
Goodwill
Goodwill in the amount of $ 286 was recognized for this acquisition and is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized, primarily expected synergies. Goodwill of approximately $ 42 is deductible for tax purposes as a result of previous taxable acquisitions made by ITsavvy. All of the goodwill associated with the ITsavvy acquisition is related to our Print and Other Segment.
Deferred Taxes
We provided deferred taxes and recorded other tax adjustments as part of the accounting for the acquisition primarily related to the estimated fair value adjustments for acquired intangible assets, as well as the elimination of a previously recorded deferred tax liability associated with ITsavvy’s historical tax deductible goodwill.

Divestitures
Sales of Argentina and Chile
In March 2024, Xerox completed the sales of its direct business operations in Argentina and Chile to Grupo Datco, a technologies and fiber optic network service provider in Latin America for a total consideration of $ 19 . Following the transfer of ownership, the new companies will operate as independent entities and Grupo Datco will continue to service Xerox devices previously sold in Argentina and Chile and will become the exclusive partner for Xerox in these markets. This transaction aligns with the Company's ongoing Reinvention.
The sales resulted in a net disposal loss of $ 51 , which includes, a net currency translation loss of $ 40 , allocated Goodwill of $ 10 , the carrying value of the net assets of $ 18 , and related fees of $ 2 . During the second quarter of 2024 we recorded a purchase price adjustment credit of $ 3 . The allocation of Goodwill was based on the relative fair value of the operations in Argentina and Chile to the total fair value for the Print and Other Segment Reporting Unit, which it was part of prior to the sales. The estimated fair values of the operations in Argentina and Chile as well as the Print and Other reporting unit are based on estimates and assumptions that are considered Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy. Xerox also recorded a net income tax benefit of $ 19 related to the sales, for a net after-tax loss on the sales of $ 32 .
Other Divestitures
During the fourth quarter 2024 we sold the rights to sell paper in certain European countries. The sale resulted in a net disposal gain of $ 4 . This sale is not expected to materially impact current estimates of future projections with respect to results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
Donation of Palo Alto Research Center (PARC)
In April 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 charge of $ 132 in the second quarter 2023, which includes allocated Goodwill of $ 115 , the carrying value of the net assets associated with PARC being donated of $ 13 , and approximately $ 4 of other costs and expenses related to the donation. The allocation of Goodwill was based on the relative fair value of the PARC business to the total fair value for the Print and Other Segment/Reporting Unit, which it was part of prior to the donation. The estimated fair values of the PARC business as well as the Print and Other reporting unit are based on estimates and assumptions that are considered Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy. Xerox also recorded a net income tax benefit of $ 40 related to the donation for a net after-tax loss on the donation of $ 92 .

We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and adjust credit limits based upon customer payment history and current creditworthiness. The allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable is determined based on an assessment of past collection experience as well as consideration of current and future economic conditions and changes in our customer collection trends. Based on that assessment the allowance for doubtful accounts as a percentage of gross receivables was 8.0 % at December 31, 2024 and 7.0 % at December 31, 2023. The increase in the allowance is primarily due to an increase in aged receivables in the U.S.
Accounts Receivable Sale Arrangements
We have one facility in Europe that enables us to sell accounts receivable associated with our distributor network on an ongoing basis, without recourse. Under this arrangement, we sell our entire interest in the related accounts receivable for cash and no portion of the payment is held back or deferred by the purchaser.

Finance Receivables - Allowance for Credit Losses and Credit Quality
Our finance receivable portfolios are primarily in the U.S., Canada and EMEA. We generally establish customer credit limits and estimate the allowance for doubtful credit losses on a country or geographic basis. Customer credit limits are based upon an initial evaluation of the customer's credit quality, and are adjusted through ongoing credit assessments of the customer, which includes the past collections experience and changes in credit quality. The allowance for doubtful credit losses is determined based on an assessment of origination year and past collection experience as well as consideration of current and future economic conditions and changes in our customer collection trends.
Our allowance for doubtful credit losses is effectively determined by geography. The risk characteristics in our finance receivable portfolio segments are generally consistent with the risk factors associated with the economies of the countries/regions included in those geographies. Since EMEA is comprised of various countries and regional economies, the risk profile within that portfolio segment is somewhat more diversified due to the varying economic conditions among and within the countries.
The net bad debt provision was $ 17 for the year ended December 31, 2024. This compares to the net bad debt provision of $ 6 for the year ended December 31, 2023. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of net finance receivables before allowance was 3.2 % at December 31, 2024 and 3.5 % at December 31, 2023.
In determining the level of reserve required, we critically assessed current and forecasted economic conditions and trends to ensure we objectively considered those expected impacts in the determination of our reserve. Our assessment also included a review of current portfolio credit metrics and the level of write-offs incurred over the past year. We believe our current reserve position remains sufficient to cover expected future losses that may result from current and future macroeconomic conditions including higher inflation, interest rates and the potential for recessions in the geographic areas of our customers. We continue to monitor developments in future economic conditions and trends, and as a result, our reserves may need to be updated in future periods.

Customers are further evaluated by class based on the type of lease origination. The primary categories are direct, which primarily includes leases originated directly with end-user customers through bundled lease arrangements, and indirect, which primarily includes leases originated through our XBS sales channel and lease financing to end-user customers who purchased equipment we sold to distributors or resellers.
We evaluate our customers based on the following credit quality indicators:
• Low Credit Risk: This rating includes accounts with excellent to good business credit, asset quality and capacity to meet financial obligations. These customers are less susceptible to adverse effects due to shifts in economic conditions or changes in circumstance. Loss rates in this category in the normal course are generally less than 1 %.
• Average Credit Risk: This rating includes accounts with average credit risk that are more susceptible to loss in the event of adverse business or economic conditions. Although we experience higher loss rates associated with this customer class, we believe the risk is somewhat mitigated by the fact that our leases are fairly well dispersed across a large and diverse customer base. In addition, the higher loss rates are largely offset by the higher rates of return we obtain with such leases. Loss rates in this category in the normal course are generally in the range of 2 % to 5 %.
• High Credit Risk: This rating includes accounts that have marginal credit risk such that the customer’s ability to make repayment is impaired or may likely become impaired. We use numerous strategies to mitigate risk including higher rates of interest, prepayments, personal guarantees, etc. Accounts in this category include customers who were downgraded during the term of the lease from low and average credit risk evaluation when the lease was originated. Accordingly, there is a distinct possibility for a loss of principal and interest or customer default. The loss rates in this category in the normal course are generally in the range of 7 % to 10 %.
Credit quality indicators are updated at least annually, or more frequently to the extent required by economic conditions, and the credit quality of any given customer can change during the life of the portfolio.

The aging of our receivables portfolio is based upon the number of days an invoice is past due. Receivables that are more than 90 days past due are considered delinquent. Receivable losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of the receivable is confirmed and is generally based on individual credit evaluations, results of collection efforts and specific circumstances of the customer. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
We generally continue to maintain equipment on lease and provide services to customers that have invoices for finance receivables that are 90 days or more past due and, as a result of the bundled nature of billings, we also continue to accrue interest on those receivables. However, interest revenue for such billings is only recognized if collectability is deemed probable.

Sales of Receivables
The Company has expanded the finance receivables funding agreement with an affiliate of HPS Investment Partners (HPS) pursuant to which the Company agreed to offer for sale, and HPS agreed to purchase, certain eligible pools of finance receivables, on a monthly basis, in transactions structured as "true sales at law," and bankruptcy remote transfers. We have received an opinion to that effect from outside legal counsel. Accordingly, the receivables sold are derecognized from our financial statements and HPS does not have recourse back to the Company for uncollectible receivables. In addition, the agreement provides for the sale of the underlying leased equipment to HPS, with the commission paid by HPS covering the value associated with the underlying equipment being sold to HPS. The Company retains a first right of refusal to repurchase the underlying equipment at the end of the lease term, to the extent offered for sale by HPS, at its then fair value.
In January 2024, we entered into a new agreement with HPS to transfer the servicing of the majority of funding activity to HPS as well as extend the existing term for five years . This agreement automatically renews for a one-year period unless terminated by either the Company or HPS. Xerox will be required to pay a specified fee to service the Company’s retained receivables. Xerox will continue to service the lease receivables from prior service arrangements with HPS for a specified fee.
In October 2024, the Company entered into a finance receivables funding agreement with De Lage Landen Financial Services Canada Inc. (DLL), pursuant to which the Company can offer for sale, and DLL may purchase, certain eligible pools of finance receivables structured as “true sales at law” and bankruptcy remote transfers and we have received an opinion to that effect from outside counsel.
This finance receivables funding agreement has an initial term of five years , with automatic one-year extensions thereafter, unless terminated by either the Company or DLL. The Company will be paid a commission on lease receivables sold and will continue to service the lease receivables under the finance receivables funding agreement. If the portfolio performs above a certain level of incremental service, a fee can be earned annually.

(1) 2024 primarily relates to our acquisition of ITsavvy. Refer to Note 6 - Acquisitions and Divestitures for additional information related to acquisitions.
(2) 2024 primarily includes the write off of $ 10 of Goodwill associated with the sales of our business operations in Argentina and Chile, as well as other immaterial dispositions. 2023 primarily includes the write-off of $ 115 of Goodwill associated with the donation of our Palo Alto Research Center (PARC). Refer to Note 6 - Acquisitions and Divestitures for additional information related to the sales of our operations in Argentina and Chile and the PARC donation.
Total Goodwill is fully allocated to the Print and Other segment and no Goodwill has been allocated to the XFS segment for the three years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 or 2022, respectively.
In the third quarter of 2024, we concluded that a quantitative test of Goodwill was required. Based on that test, we determined that the estimated fair value of the Print and Other reporting unit (the only reporting unit with Goodwill) had declined below its carrying value and, as a result, we recognized an after-tax non-cash impairment charge of $ 1,015 ($ 1,058 pre-tax) related to our Goodwill for the year ended December 31, 2024.
In the third quarter of 2022, we concluded that an interim impairment test of Goodwill was required. Based on that test, we determined that the estimated fair value of the Print and Other reporting unit (the only reporting unit with Goodwill) had declined below its carrying value and, as a result, we recognized an after-tax non-cash impairment charge of $ 395 ($ 412 pre-tax) related to our Goodwill for the year ended December 31, 2022.
The estimated fair value of the Print and Other reporting unit, for all periods discussed above, is based on estimates and assumptions that are considered Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy.

Note 13 – Restructuring Programs
In connection with our Reinvention and other transformative programs, we engage in restructuring actions in order to reduce our cost structure and realign it to the changing nature of our business. As part of our efforts to reduce costs, our restructuring actions may also include the off-shoring and/or outsourcing of certain operations, services and other functions, the exit from certain product lines and geographies, as well as reducing our real estate footprint.
Restructuring and related costs, net reflect the following components for the three years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022:

Asset impairment charges, net 25 32 ( 6 )
Related costs, net 25 21 3
Total Restructuring and related costs, net $ 112 $ 167 $ 65
Restructuring charges, net primarily includes employee severance costs and other contractual termination costs that may result from restructuring actions and initiatives. In those geographies where we have either a formal severance plan or a history of consistently providing severance benefits representing a substantive plan (on-going benefit arrangements), we recognize employee severance and associated costs when they are both probable and reasonably estimable and is the primary accounting treatment applied for most of our Restructuring actions. Severance payments made under a one-time benefit arrangement are recorded upon communication to the affected employees. In the event employees are required to perform future service beyond their minimum retention period in a one-time benefit arrangement, we record severance charges ratably over the remaining service period of those employees as restructuring related costs. Contractual termination costs, including facility exit costs, are generally recognized when it has been determined that a liability has been incurred. Asset impairment charges, net primarily include impairments that may result from employee reductions, migration of facilities from higher-cost to lower-cost countries, and the consolidation of facilities and is net of any gains we may realize on the disposal of those assets. Restructuring activities may also include the disposal or abandonment of assets, including leased right-of-use assets, that require an acceleration of depreciation or an impairment charge reflecting the excess of an asset's book value over fair value or other recoveries. Restructuring related costs also include severance costs paid in connection with contractual outsourcing arrangements as well as professional support services associated with our business transformation initiatives.
The recognition of restructuring and related costs requires that we make certain judgments and estimates regarding the nature, timing and amount of costs associated with planned initiatives. To the extent our actual results differ from our estimates and assumptions, we may be required to revise the estimated liabilities, requiring the recognition of additional restructuring costs or the reduction of liabilities already recognized. At the end of each reporting period, we evaluate the remaining accrued balances to ensure they are properly stated, and the utilization of the reserves are for their intended purpose in accordance with developed exit plans.

Supplier Finance Programs
We have a program through a financial institution that enables vendors and suppliers, at their option, to receive early payment for their invoices. All outstanding amounts related to the program are recorded within Accounts payable in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the associated payments are included in operating activities within our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The program operates in a similar manner to a purchasing card program, however with this program we directly receive invoices associated with those vendors and suppliers participating in the program and confirm and validate those invoices and the amounts due before submitting the invoices to the financial institution for early payment at a discounted amount. The financial institution subsequently invoices us for the stated or full amount of the invoices paid early and we are required to make payment within 45 days of the statement date. The overall impact of the program generally results in paying our supplier and vendor invoices consistent with their original terms. This program is generally available to all non-inventory vendors and suppliers.

The 2029 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of Xerox Holdings Corporation and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Xerox Corporation and certain other wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiaries of the Company. The 2029 Notes and the related guarantees were issued in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act.
Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 30th and November 30th of each year, beginning on November 30, 2024. Xerox Holdings Corporation may, at its option, redeem some or all of the 2029 Notes at varying prices based on the timing of the redemption. The indenture governing the 2029 Notes contains covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of Xerox Holdings Corporation and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make other restricted payments, prepay, redeem or repurchase certain subordinated debt, issue certain preferred stock or similar equity securities, make loans and investments, sell or otherwise dispose of assets, incur liens, enter into transactions with affiliates, enter into agreements restricting its subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends, and consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all assets.

the last reported sale price of common stock for the ten consecutive trading date period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the declaration date for such distribution or distribute to all, or substantially all holders of common stock, our assets, debt securities or rights to purchase our securities, which distribution has a per share value, as reasonably determined by our Board of Directors or a committee thereof, exceeding 10 % of the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the declaration date for such distribution; or (v) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events (as determined in accordance with the indenture governing the 2030 Notes). On or after December 15, 2029, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their 2030 Notes, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at the option of the holder regardless of the foregoing circumstances.
As of December 31, 2024, none of the conditions permitting the holders of the 2030 Notes to convert their notes early had been met. Therefore, the 2030 Notes are classified as long-term debt.
The initial conversion rate is 47.99 shares of the common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $ 20.84 per share of the common stock. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. In connection with certain corporate events or if the Company issues a notice of redemption, it will, under certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for holders who elect to convert their notes in connection with such corporate event or during the relevant redemption period.
Upon conversion of the 2030 Notes, the Company must pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the notes to be converted and pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of the Company's common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock, at the Company's election in respect of the remainder, if any, of the Company's conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the notes being converted.
We may not redeem the 2030 Notes prior to September 20, 2027. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the notes, at our option, on or after September 20, 2027, if the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock has been at least 130 % of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100 % of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund for the notes has been provided.
If the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the 2030 Notes), holders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their 2030 Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100 % of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.
The indenture governing the 2030 Notes includes customary covenants, sets forth certain events of default after which the notes may be declared immediately due and payable and sets forth certain types of bankruptcy or insolvency events of default involving the Company after which the notes become automatically due and payable.
The indenture governing the 2030 Notes does not contain any financial or operating covenants or restrictions on the payments of dividends, the incurrence of indebtedness or the issuance or repurchase of securities by us or any of our subsidiaries.
Capped Calls
In connection with the issuance of the 2030 Notes (see Convertible Senior Notes above), the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the Capped Calls) with certain of the initial purchasers of the 2030 Notes or their respective affiliates (the option counterparties) at a cost of approximately $ 23 . The Capped Calls cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, the number of shares of the Company's common stock initially underlying the 2030 Notes. By entering into the Capped Calls, we expect to reduce the potential dilution to the Company's common stock (or, in the event a conversion of the 2030 Notes is settled in cash, to reduce our cash payment obligation) in the event that at the time of conversion of the 2030 Notes the trading price of our common stock price exceeds the conversion price of the 2030 Notes.
The initial cap sale price of the Capped Calls was approximately $ 28.34 per share, which represents a premium of 70 % over the last reported sale price of our common stock of $ 16.67 on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange on March 6, 2024, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the Capped Calls. The Capped Calls were recorded in Additional paid-in capital in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2024, with no remeasurement in subsequent periods as it meets the conditions for equity classification. The purchases of the Capped Calls resulted
Xerox 2024 Annual Report 129
Table of Contents Legal Sign-off 2.24.25
in a tax benefit of approximately $ 6 , the impact of which was included in Additional paid-in capital. Refer to Note 17 - Shareholders' Equity of Xerox Holdings for additional information regarding the Capped Calls.
Use of Aggregate Proceeds from Senior Notes
A portion of the aggregate net proceeds from the Senior Note offerings was used to fund the cost of entering into the Capped Call transactions (see Convertible Senior Notes above). Additionally, a portion of the aggregate net proceeds were used to repay, through a tender offer for Senior Notes, approximately $ 84 of the 3.80 % Xerox Corporation Senior Notes due in 2024 and approximately $ 362 of the 5.00 % Xerox Holdings Corporation Senior Notes due in 2025. The remaining outstanding 3.80 % Senior Notes of $ 216 , that were not redeemed as part of the Senior Notes tender offer, were repaid in May 2024. In connection with the repayment of the 2024 and 2025 Senior Notes, we recorded a gain on the extinguishment of the debt of approximately $ 4 , which was partially offset by a loss of approximately $ 1 on the write-off of deferred debt issuance costs. The net gain on the extinguishment of $ 3 was recorded in Other expenses, net.
Xerox Holdings Corporation/Xerox Corporation Intercompany Loan
In March 2024, Xerox Holdings Corporation and Xerox Corporation entered into two intercompany loan agreements which mirror the terms of Xerox Holdings Corporation's 2029 and 2030 Senior Notes, including principal, interest rates, payment dates and debt issuance costs of approximately $ 15 (see the Senior Notes and the Convertible Senior Notes sections above). As a result, Xerox Corporation recorded approximately $ 900 of related party debt. The proceeds of this new intercompany loan were used to partially pay down approximately $ 362 on the existing 2020 intercompany loan made by Xerox Holdings Corporation to Xerox Corporation.
At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the balance of the Intercompany Loan reported in Xerox Corporation’s Consolidated Balance Sheet was $ 2,022 and $ 1,497 , respectively, which is net of related debt issuance costs, and the intercompany interest payable was $ 31 and $ 30 , respectively.
Revolving Credit Facility
In May 2023, Xerox Corporation, as borrower, and certain of its subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into a five-year asset-based revolving credit agreement (the ABL Facility) with Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent (the ABL Agent) and several lenders including Citibank N.A. The aggregate outstanding principal amount of the ABL Facility is payable in full at maturity on May 22, 2028, and there are no scheduled principal payments prior to maturity. We deferred approximately $ 7 of debt issuance costs in connection with the ABL Facility, which are being amortized over the five-year term.
In February 2024, the Company, Xerox Holdings Corporation and the Administrative Agent entered into an amendment in connection with the delivery of additional guarantees and collateral under the ABL Facility as a result of the Company’s execution of the TLB, which constituted Material Springer Debt (as defined in the ABL Facility), and the execution of certain guarantees by subsidiaries of the Company in connection with the TLB.
In June 2024, Xerox Corporation and Xerox Holdings Corporation, entered into Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement (the Amendment) with the ABL agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Amendment amended the ABL Facility, to (i) increase the commitments of the lenders under the ABL Credit Agreement from $ 300 to $ 425 and (ii) amend the excess availability used to trigger the fixed charge coverage ratio springing covenant from an amount equal to the greater of (A) $ 22.5 and (B) 10 % of the Line Cap (the lesser of the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments and the then-applicable Borrowing Base), to an amount equal to the greater of (A) $ 31.875 and (B) 10 % of the Line Cap.
Under the amended ABL Facility, Xerox Corporation may borrow up to the lesser of (x) $ 425 and (y) a borrowing base calculated based on accounts receivable and inventories of the loan parties thereunder as set forth in the ABL Facility. The ABL Facility includes an uncommitted accordion feature that allows Xerox Corporation to increase the facility by a total of up to $ 250 , subject to obtaining additional commitments from existing lenders or new lending institutions. The ABL Facility also includes a $ 100 letter of credit subfacility. Xerox Corporation's borrowings under the ABL Facility are supported by guarantees from Xerox Holdings Corporation and certain of Xerox Corporation's U.S., Canadian, German, Belgian and English subsidiaries, and by security interests in substantially all of the assets of Xerox Corporation, Xerox Holdings Corporation, and such U.S., Canadian and English subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions and limitations set forth in the TLB), and all finance lease receivables of such German and Belgian subsidiaries.
Xerox 2024 Annual Report 130
Table of Contents Legal Sign-off 2.24.25
At Xerox Corporation’s election, the loans under the amended ABL Facility will bear interest at either:
(1) a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (A) Citibank’s base rate, (B) a rate of 0.5 % in excess of the “NYFRB” rate, and (C) a rate of 1.0 % in excess of one-month Term SOFR, provided that such fluctuating rate shall not be less than 0.0 %, in each case plus an applicable margin (the loans bearing interest at such fluctuating rate, ABR Loans); or
(2) the one-, three-, or six-month period or (as agreed to by the Agent and the Lenders) such other period, as selected by the Xerox Corporation, per annum Term SOFR (plus a 0.10 % credit spread adjustment), provided that such rate shall not be less than 0.0 %, plus an applicable margin (the loans bearing interest at such rate Term SOFR Loans).
The applicable margin for ABR loans ranges from 0.5 % to 1.0 % depending on the Company’s average daily excess availability. The applicable margin for Term SOFR loans from 1.5 % to 2.0 % depending on the Company’s average daily excess availability.
At December 31, 2024, there were no borrowings under the ABL Facility, and approximately $ 2 of letters of credits were issued under the facility. During 2024, maximum borrowings under the ABL Facility were $ 130 .
The amended ABL Facility requires the Company to comply with a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1X, as defined in the ABL Facility, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter during which excess availability is less than an amount equal to the greater of (A) $ 31.875 and (B) 10 % of the Line Cap (the lesser of the aggregate amount of revolving commitments and the then-applicable borrowing base). Based on the excess availability at December 31, 2024, the fixed charge coverage ratio measurement was not applicable. The amended ABL Facility also contains negative covenants governing dividends, investments, indebtedness, liens, and other matters customary for similar facilities.
If an event of default occurs under the amended ABL Facility, the entire principal amount outstanding, together with all accrued unpaid interest and other amounts owed in respect thereof, may be declared immediately due and payable, subject, in certain instances, to the expiration of applicable cure periods.
Term Loan B Credit Facility
In November 2023, Xerox Corporation, as borrower, Xerox Holdings Corporation, and certain of Xerox’s subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into a first lien term loan credit agreement with Jefferies Finance LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the TLB Agent), and a syndicate of lenders providing for a first lien senior secured term loan credit facility (the TLB) to Xerox Corporation of $ 550 , which was fully extended as term loans to Xerox Corporation at closing. The term loans under this facility included an aggregate original issue discount (OID) of $ 17 and debt issuance costs of $ 9 resulting in net proceeds of approximately $ 524 . The OID and debt issuance costs were accordingly deferred and will be amortized over the term of the Loans.
Xerox’s obligations under the TLB are supported by, guarantees from the Company and certain of Xerox’s U.S., Canadian, German, Belgium, and English subsidiaries, and security interests in substantially all of the assets of Xerox, the Company, and such U.S., Canadian and English subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions and limitations set forth in the TLB), and security interests in the finance lease receivables of such German and Belgium subsidiaries. Liens in favor of the lenders under the TLB are subject to an intercreditor agreement with the ABL Agent.
At Xerox’s election, the term loans will bear interest at a per annum rate of either:
(1) a fluctuating rate equal to the highest of (A) a rate of 0.5 % in excess of the “NYFRB” rate, (B) the “prime rate” and (C) a rate of 1.0 % in excess of one-month Term SOFR, plus an applicable margin of 3.00 %, or
(2) Term SOFR for a one-, three- or six-month interest period or (as agreed to by the Agent and the Lenders) such other period, as selected by the company (provided that such rate shall not be less than 0.50 %), plus an applicable margin of 4.00 %, for Term SOFR term loans, or 3.00 % for ABR term loans. There are $ 523 of term loans outstanding at December 31, 2024. Currently, $ 300 of the term loans bears interest at an average rate of 8.33 % through March 31, 2025, and the remaining $ 223 of the term loans bears interest at an average rate of 8.36 % through January 31, 2025, at which time the interest rate will reset based on Xerox’s elections.
The term loans are repayable in full at maturity in November 2029 and amortize at a rate of 5 % per annum in 2024 and 2025, 7.5 % per annum in 2026 and 10 % per annum thereafter. If the term loans are voluntarily prepaid in connection with a Repricing Event (as defined in the TLB) within six months of the closing date, a prepayment premium of 1 % will apply.
Xerox 2024 Annual Report 131
Table of Contents Legal Sign-off 2.24.25
If an event of default occurs under the TLB, the entire principal amount outstanding thereunder, together with all accrued unpaid interest and other amounts owing in respect thereof, may be declared immediately due and payable, subject, in certain instances, to the expiration of applicable cure periods. The TLB also contains customary excess cash flow and asset sale mandatory prepayments, reporting covenants and negative covenants governing dividends, investments, indebtedness, liens, and other matters that are customary for similar term loan B facilities.
Secured Borrowings and Collateral
We have entered into secured loan agreements with various financial institutions where we sold finance receivables and rights to payments under our equipment on operating leases. In certain transactions, the sales were made to special purpose entities (SPEs), owned and controlled by Xerox, where the SPEs funded the purchase through amortizing secured loans from the financial institutions. The loans have variable interest rates and expected lives of approximately 2.5 years, with half projected to be repaid within the first year based on collections of the underlying portfolio of receivables. For certain loans, we entered into interest rate hedge agreements to either fix or cap the interest rate over the life of the loan.
The sales of the receivables to the SPEs were structured as "true sales at law," and we received opinions to that effect from outside legal counsel. However, the transactions were accounted for as secured borrowings as we fully consolidated the SPEs in our financial statements. As a result, the assets of the SPEs were not available to satisfy any of our other obligations. Conversely, the credit holders of these SPEs did not have legal recourse to the Company’s general credit.
Below are the secured assets and obligations held by subsidiaries of Xerox, which are included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(3) Includes Financing income, as well as other interest income that is included in Other expenses, net in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income.
Equipment financing interest is determined based on an estimated cost of funds, applied against the estimated level of debt required to support our net finance receivables. The estimated cost of funds is based on the interest cost associated with actual borrowings determined to be in support of the leasing business. The estimated level of debt continues to be based on an assumed 7 to 1 leverage ratio of debt/equity as compared to our average finance receivable balance during the applicable period.
Note 16 – Financial Instruments
We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, which could affect operating results, financial position and cash flows. We manage our exposure to these market risks through our regular operating and financing activities and, when appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. These derivative financial instruments are utilized to hedge economic exposures, as well as to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility resulting from shifts in market rates. We enter into limited types of derivative contracts, including interest rate swap agreements, interest rate caps, foreign currency spot, forward and swap contracts and net purchased foreign currency options to manage interest rate and foreign currency exposures. Our primary foreign currency market exposures include the Euro, U.K. Pound Sterling, and the Japanese Yen. The fair market values of all our derivative contracts change with fluctuations in interest rates and/or currency exchange rates and are designed so that any changes in their values are offset by changes in the values of the underlying exposures. Derivative financial instruments are held solely as risk management tools and not for trading or speculative purposes. The related cash flow impacts of all of our derivative activities are reflected as cash flows from operating activities.
We do not believe there is significant risk of loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparties associated with our derivative instruments because these transactions are executed with a diversified group of major financial institutions. Further, our policy is to deal only with counterparties having a minimum investment grade or better credit rating. Credit risk is managed through the continuous monitoring of exposures to such counterparties.
Interest Rate Risk Management
We use interest rate swap and interest rate cap agreements to manage our interest rate exposure and to achieve a desired proportion of variable and fixed rate debt. These derivatives may be designated as fair value hedges or cash flow hedges depending on the nature of the risk being hedged. We had no fair value hedges for the three-year period ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively.
Cash Flow Hedges
We use interest rate swaps and caps to manage the exposure to variability in the interest rate payments on our finance receivable secured loan borrowings. The interest rate swaps convert the interest paid on certain loans to a fixed amount while the caps limit the maximum amount of interest paid.
During first quarter 2024, the following derivatives were dedesignated as cash flow hedges. The net fair value of these cash flow hedges, which was not material, was recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss and then reclassified to earnings.

Total $ 77
In September 2024, we entered into two floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps to hedge against interest rate volatility associated with any of our floating rate debt which was primarily under our Term Loan B Credit Agreement (TLB). The TLB had an outstanding principal balance of $ 523 as of December 31, 2024. The following is a summary of our swaps at December 31, 2024:
Counterparty Derivative Type Principal Debt

Credit Agricole Swap 125 125 2027 3.276 % 4.604 % 2
Total $ 300 $ 300 $ 5
The remaining portion of the TLB of $ 223 is not hedged, and is subject to interest rate fluctuations. The impact of these interest rate swaps on interest expense was a net reduction of $ 1 for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Foreign Exchange Risk Management
We are a global company, and we are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the normal course of our business. As a part of our foreign exchange risk management strategy, we use derivative instruments, primarily forward contracts and purchased option contracts, to hedge the following foreign currency exposures, thereby reducing volatility of earnings or protecting fair values of assets and liabilities:
• Foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities, and
• Forecasted purchases, and sales in foreign currency.
At December 31, 2024, we had outstanding forward exchange and purchased option contracts with terms of less than 12 months. At December 31, 2024, approximately 95 % of these contracts mature within three months, 3 % in three to six months and 2 % in six to twelve months.
There have not been any other material changes in our hedging strategy during 2024.

Foreign Currency Cash Flow Hedges
We designate a portion of our foreign currency derivative contracts as cash flow hedges of our foreign currency-denominated inventory purchases. All components of each derivative’s gain or loss were included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness. The amount of ineffectiveness recorded in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income for these designated cash flow hedges was not material for the three years ended December 31, 2023. The net liability fair value of these contracts was $ 1 and $ 2 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Summary of Derivative Instruments Gains (Losses)
Derivative gains and (losses) affect the income statement based on whether such derivatives are designated as hedges of underlying exposures. The following is a summary of derivative gains and (losses).

For the three years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 no amount of ineffectiveness was recorded in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income for these designated cash flow hedges. All components of each derivative’s gain or (loss) were included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness.
At December 31, 2024, a net after-tax income of $ 6 was recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with our cash flow hedging activity. The entire balance is expected to be reclassified into Net income within the next 12 months, providing an offsetting economic impact against the underlying anticipated transactions.
Non-Designated Derivative Instruments Gains (Losses)
Non-designated derivative instruments are primarily instruments used to hedge foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities. They are not designated as hedges since there is a natural offset for the remeasurement of the underlying foreign currency-denominated asset or liability. The net asset/liability fair value of these contracts was $( 2 ) and $ 5 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The following table provides a summary of gains (losses) on non-designated derivative instruments:
Year Ended December 31,
Derivatives NOT Designated as Hedging Instruments Location of Derivative Gain 2024 2023 2022
Foreign exchange contracts – forwards Other expense – Currency gains, net $ 24 $ 26 $ 17
For the three years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, we recorded net currency losses of $ 15 , $ 28 and $ 13 , respectively. Net currency gains and losses include the mark-to-market adjustments of the derivatives not designated as hedging instruments and the related cost of those derivatives, as well as the remeasurement of foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities and are included in Other expenses, net.

Note 17 – Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities
The following table represents assets and liabilities' fair value measured on a recurring basis. The basis for the measurement at fair value in all cases is Level 2 – Significant Other Observable Inputs.

Total $ 19 $ 21
We utilize the income approach to measure the fair value for our derivative assets and liabilities. The income approach uses pricing models that rely on market observable inputs such as yield curves, currency exchange rates and forward prices, and therefore are classified as Level 2.
Fair value for our deferred compensation plan investments in mutual funds is based on quoted market prices for those funds. Fair value for deferred compensation plan liabilities is based on the fair value of investments corresponding to employees’ investment selections.

The fair value amounts for Cash and cash equivalents and Accounts receivable, net, approximate carrying amounts due to the short maturities of these instruments. The fair value of Short-term debt, including the current portion of long-term debt, and Long-term debt was estimated based on the current rates offered to us for debt of similar maturities (Level 2). The difference between the fair value and the carrying value represents the theoretical net premium or discount we would pay or receive to retire all debt at such date.

Note 18 – Employee Benefit Plans
We sponsor numerous defined benefit and defined contribution pension and other post-retirement benefit plans, primarily retiree health care, in our domestic and international operations. December 31 is the measurement date for all of our post-retirement benefit plans.
Where legally possible, we have amended our major defined benefit pension plans to freeze current benefits and eliminate benefit accruals for future service, including our U.S. defined benefit plans, the Canadian Salary Pension Plan and the U.K. pension plan. In certain non-U.S. plans, we are required to continue to consider salary increases and inflation in determining the benefit obligation related to prior service.
In December 2023, the Trustees for the U.K. pension plan entered a second insurance buy-in contract, in accordance with U.K. pension regulations. Insurance buy-in contracts are group annuity contracts that are expected to provide an income stream to cover a significant majority of the cash flows arising for the plan population with future contracted payments. However, the benefit obligation remains with the plan and the Company. This contract is issued by a third-party insurance company with no affiliation to the Company or the plan. The contract was funded through existing plan assets, with a portion of the premium payments for the policy being deferred until full liquidation of certain illiquid assets of the plan. The insurance buy-in contract is valued on an insurer pricing basis, which reflects the purchase price adjusted for changes in discount rates and other actuarial assumptions, which approximates fair value. The insurance buy-in contract is classified as a Level 3 investment in the Plan Asset tables below. This buy-in contract was similar to a contract purchased in 2022 that covered a portion of member benefit payments. The buy-in arrangement also allows for the possible future conversion into a buy-out arrangement where the insurance company would assume full responsibility for the U.K. pension plan pension obligations, at which time the Company would derecognize the assets and liabilities of the pension plan and realize a settlement gain or loss as a component of the net periodic pension cost.
Effective January 1, 2023, we implemented a new defined contribution plan in the Netherlands to provide future retirement benefits for eligible employees and ceased accruals in the existing pension plan in the Netherlands. We recorded this change as a curtailment effective December 31, 2022. The benefits accrued prior to 2023 under the pension plan in the Netherlands remain in a Collective Defined Contribution (CDC) plan. From a Company risk perspective, this plan operates just like a defined contribution plan as the Company is only responsible for a contribution for annual benefit accruals under 5-year agreements through 2022. Although the Company's risk has been mitigated, under U.S. GAAP this plan doesn’t meet the definition of a defined contribution plan and therefore it continues to be accounted for as a defined benefit plan.

Plan Amendments
Pension:
Netherlands
In January 2024, the pension board of our Netherlands pension plan transferred the plan’s assets and projected benefit obligation (PBO) to a single client section in a general pension fund. In addition to this transfer, the indexation target was increased from 75 % of price inflation to 100 % of price inflation. This plan amendment increasing the indexation target resulted in an increase of approximately $ 48 (approximately EUR 44 million) in the PBO for this Collective Defined Contribution (CDC) plan, approximately 6 % of the plan PBO as of December 31, 2023. From a Company risk perspective, this CDC plan operates just like a frozen defined contribution plan. Although the Company's risk has been mitigated, under U.S. GAAP this CDC plan does not meet the definition of a defined contribution plan and therefore continues to be accounted for as a defined benefit plan.
United Kingdom
In April 2024, 2023 and 2022, our U.K. defined benefit pension plan was amended, at the sole discretion of the Plan Trustees as legally allowed, to increase the capped inflation indexation for the April 2024, 2023 and 2022 pension increase award to 5 %, 6.5 % and 7.5 %, respectively. The April 2024 plan amendment resulted in an increase of $ 6 in the projected benefit obligation (PBO) for this plan, the April 2023 plan amendment resulted in an increase of $ 36 in the projected benefit obligation (PBO) for this plan, and the April 2022 plan amendment resulted in an increase of
Xerox 2024 Annual Report 140
Table of Contents Legal Sign-off 2.24.25
approximately $ 72 in the PBO for this plan, with all amounts inclusive of other remeasurement adjustments for changes in actuarial assumptions.
In October 2018, the High Court of Justice in the United Kingdom (the High Court) ruled that Lloyds Bank PLC was required to equalize benefits payable to men and women under its U.K. defined benefit pension plans by amending those plans to increase the pension benefits payable to participants that accrued such benefits during the period from 1990 to 1997. The inequalities arose from statutory differences in the retirement ages and rates of accrual of benefits for men and women related to Guaranteed Minimum Pension (GMP) benefits that are included in U.K. defined benefit pension plans.
At December 31, 2024, the aggregate cost for this matter was estimated to be approximately GBP 15 million (approximately USD $ 19 ). This latest estimate is consistent with the prior year, adjusted for market conditions at December 31, 2024. The equalization method was agreed between the Company and Trustee and is in the process of being implemented.
Retiree Health Plans:
During 2022, we amended our U.S. Retiree Health Plan to reduce benefits and eliminate coverage for existing union retirees and for certain union employees as a result of contract negotiations. These negative plan amendments resulted in a reduction of approximately $ 30 in the Company's postretirement benefit obligation.

Level 3 Valuation Method
Our primary Level 3 assets are Real Estate, Private Equity/Venture Capital investments, and Guaranteed Insurance Contracts. The fair value of our real estate investment funds is based on the Net Asset Value (NAV) of our ownership interest in the funds. NAV information is received from the investment advisers and is primarily derived from third-party real estate appraisals for the properties owned. The fair value for our private equity/venture capital partnership investments are based on our share of the estimated fair values of the underlying investments held by these partnerships as reported (or expected to be reported) in their audited financial statements. 2022 and 2023 purchases of Guaranteed Insurance Contracts (GICs) include the purchases of buy-in annuity contracts, which have been valued based on the member benefits covered by the contracts adjusted for current market factors. The valuation techniques and inputs for our Level 3 assets have been consistently applied for all periods presented.

(1) Target allows for an additional allocation to synthetic equity which is offset by cash, which resulted in a negative cash position in Other.
(2) Significant changes in asset allocation in non-U.S. are due to the U.K. pension plan entering an insurance buy-in contract, which is included in Other.
We employ a total return investment approach whereby a mix of equities and fixed income investments are used to maximize the long-term return of plan assets for a prudent level of risk. The intent of this strategy is to minimize plan expenses by exceeding the interest growth in long-term plan liabilities. Risk tolerance is established through careful consideration of plan liabilities, plan funded status and corporate financial condition. This consideration involves the use of long-term measures that address both return and risk. The investment portfolio contains a diversified blend of equity and fixed income investments. Furthermore, equity investments are diversified across U.S. and non-U.S. stocks, as well as growth, value and small and large capitalizations. Other assets such as real estate, private equity, and hedge funds are used to improve portfolio diversification. Derivatives may be used to hedge market exposure in an efficient, timely and cost-effective manner; however, derivatives may not be used to speculate or leverage the portfolio beyond the market value of the underlying investments. Investment risks and returns are measured and monitored on an ongoing basis through annual liability measurements and quarterly investment portfolio reviews.
Expected Long-term Rate of Return
We employ a “building block” approach in determining the long-term rate of return for plan assets. Historical markets are studied and long-term relationships between equities and fixed income are assessed. Current market factors such as inflation and interest rates are evaluated before long-term capital market assumptions are determined. The long-term portfolio return is established giving consideration to investment diversification and rebalancing. Peer data and historical returns are reviewed periodically to assess reasonableness and appropriateness.

Defined Contribution Plans
We have post-retirement savings and investment plans in several countries, including the U.S., the U.K. and Canada. In many instances, employees who participated in the defined benefit pension plans that have been amended to freeze future service accruals were transitioned to an enhanced defined contribution plan. In these plans, employees are allowed to contribute a portion of their salaries and bonuses to the plans, and we match a portion of the employee contributions. We recorded charges related to our defined contribution plans of $ 40 in 2024, $ 40 in 2023 and $ 37 in 2022.
During 2021, the Company suspended its full year employer matching contribution for its U.S. based 401(k) plan for salaried (non-union) employees. The employer matching contribution was reinstated for 2022 and was made in the first quarter of 2023.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits and Audit Resolutions
We recognize tax liabilities when, despite our belief that our tax return positions are supportable, we believe that certain positions may not be fully sustained upon review by tax authorities. Each period, we assess uncertain tax positions for recognition, measurement and effective settlement. Benefits from uncertain tax positions are measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement - the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold. Where we have determined that our tax return filing position does not satisfy the more likely than not recognition threshold, we have recorded no tax benefit. These assessments require the use of considerable estimates and judgments and can increase or decrease our effective tax rate, as well as impact our operating results. A difference in the ultimate resolution of uncertain tax positions from what is currently estimated could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition.
The calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations in a variety of jurisdictions. We are also subject to ongoing tax examinations in numerous jurisdictions due to the extensive geographical scope of our operations. As a result, we have received, and may in the future receive, proposed tax adjustments and tax assessments in multiple jurisdictions. We regularly assess the likelihood of the outcomes resulting from these ongoing tax examinations as part of our continuing assessment of uncertain tax positions to determine our provision for income taxes. The specific timing of when the resolution of each tax position will be reached is uncertain. As of December 31, 2024, we do not believe that there are any positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:
2024 2023 2022
Balance at January 1 $ 140 $ 110 $ 107
Additions related to current year 1 1 3

Included in the balances at December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 are $( 2 ), $( 31 ) and $ 1 , respectively, of tax positions that are highly certain of realizability but for which there is uncertainty about the timing or that they may be reduced through an indirect benefit from other taxing jurisdictions. Because of the impact of deferred tax accounting, other than for the possible incurrence of interest and penalties, the disallowance of these positions would not affect the annual effective tax rate.
Within income tax expense, we recognize interest and penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits, as well as interest received from favorable settlements. We had $ 0 , $( 2 ) and $( 1 ) accrued for the payment of interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
In the U.S., we are no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for years before 2017. With respect to our major foreign jurisdictions, we are no longer subject to tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2017.
Deferred Income Taxes
At December 31, 2024 we have not provided deferred taxes on our undistributed pre-1987 E&P of approximately $ 292 , as such undistributed earnings have been determined to be indefinitely reinvested and we currently do not plan to initiate any action that would precipitate a deferred tax impact. The net change from the amount at December 31, 2023 of $ 310 was predominately due to currency impacts as well as the disposition of certain foreign subsidiaries. Additionally, we have also not provided deferred taxes on the outside basis differences in our investments in foreign subsidiaries that are unrelated to undistributed earnings. These basis differences are also indefinitely reinvested. A determination of the unrecognized deferred taxes related to these components is not practicable.

We record the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the amounts reported, as well as net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are assessed for realizability and, where applicable, a valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the total deferred tax asset to an amount that will, more-likely-than-not, be realized in the future. We apply judgment in assessing the realizability of these deferred tax assets and the need for any valuation allowances. In determining the amount of deferred tax assets that are more-likely-than-not to be realized, we considered historical profitability, projected future taxable income, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and tax planning strategies. The deferred tax assets requiring significant judgment are U.S. tax credit carryforwards with a limited life.
The net change in the total valuation allowance for the three years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 was an increase of $ 136 , $ 9 and $ 9 , respectively. The valuation allowance relates primarily to certain net operating loss carryforwards, tax credit carryforwards and deductible temporary differences for which we have concluded it is more-likely-than-not that these items will not be realized in the ordinary course of operations.
Although realization is not assured, we have concluded that it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax assets, for which a valuation allowance was determined to be unnecessary, will be realized in the ordinary course of operations based on the available positive and negative evidence, including scheduling of deferred tax liabilities and projected income from operating activities. The amount of the net deferred tax assets considered realizable, however, could change in the near term if future income or income tax rates are higher or lower than currently estimated, or if there are differences in the timing or amount of future reversals of existing taxable or deductible temporary differences.
At December 31, 2024, we had tax credit carryforwards of $ 80 available to offset future income taxes, of which $ 1 is available to carryforward indefinitely while the majority of the remaining $ 79 will begin to expire in 2025 and 2026, if not utilized. We also had net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes of $ 473 that will begin to expire in 2024 through 2043, if not utilized, and $ 1.4 billion available to offset future taxable income indefinitely.

Note 20 – Contingencies and Litigation
We are involved in a variety of claims, lawsuits, investigations and proceedings concerning: securities law; governmental entity contracting, servicing and procurement law; intellectual property law; environmental law; employment law; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA); and other laws and regulations. We determine whether an estimated loss from a contingency should be accrued by assessing whether a loss is deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated. We assess our potential liability by analyzing our litigation and regulatory matters using available information. We develop our views on estimated losses in consultation with outside counsel handling our defense in these matters, which involves an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. Should developments in any of these matters cause a change in our determination as to an unfavorable outcome and result in the need to recognize a material accrual, or should any of these matters result in a final adverse judgment or be settled for significant amounts, they could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial position in the period or periods in which such change in determination, judgment or settlement occurs.
Additionally, guarantees, indemnifications and claims may arise during the ordinary course of business from relationships with suppliers, customers and nonconsolidated affiliates, as well as through divestitures and sales of businesses, when the Company undertakes an obligation to guarantee the performance of others if specified triggering events occur. Nonperformance under a contract could trigger an obligation of the Company. These potential claims include actions based upon alleged exposures to products, real estate, intellectual property such as patents, environmental matters, and other indemnifications. The ultimate effect on future financial results is not subject to reasonable estimation because considerable uncertainty exists as to the final outcome of these claims. However, while the ultimate liabilities resulting from such claims may be significant to results of operations in the period recognized, management does not anticipate they will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or liquidity. As of December 31, 2024, we have accrued our estimate of liability incurred under our indemnification arrangements and guarantees.
Brazil Contingencies
Our Brazilian operations have received or been the subject of numerous governmental assessments related to indirect and other taxes. These tax matters principally relate to claims for taxes on the internal transfer of inventory, municipal service taxes on rentals and gross revenue taxes. We are disputing these tax matters and intend to vigorously defend our positions. Based on the opinion of legal counsel and current reserves for those matters deemed probable of loss, we do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will materially impact our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Below is a summary of our Brazilian tax contingencies:
December 31,
2024 December 31,
2023
Tax contingency - unreserved $ 305 $ 375
Escrow cash deposits 18 24
Surety bonds 88 104
Letters of credit 10 22
Liens on Brazilian assets — —
The decrease in the unreserved portion of the tax contingency, inclusive of any related interest, was primarily related to currency, partially offset by interest. With respect to the unreserved tax contingency, the majority has been assessed by management as being remote as to the likelihood of ultimately resulting in a loss to the Company. In connection with the above proceedings, customary local regulations may require us to make escrow cash deposits or post other security of up to half of the total amount in dispute, as well as additional surety bonds and letters of credit, which include associated indexation. Generally, any escrowed amounts would be refundable and any liens on assets would be removed to the extent the matters are resolved in our favor. We are also involved in certain disputes with contract and former employees. Exposures related to labor matters are not material to the financial statements as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. We routinely assess all these matters as to probability of ultimately incurring a liability against our Brazilian operations and record our best estimate of the ultimate loss in situations where we assess the likelihood of an ultimate loss as probable.

Litigation Matters
Miami Firefighters’ Relief & Pension Fund v. Icahn, et al.:
On December 13, 2019, shareholder Miami Firefighters’ Relief & Pension Fund (Miami Firefighters) filed a derivative complaint in New York State Supreme Court, New York County on behalf of Xerox Holdings Corporation (Xerox Holdings) against Carl Icahn and his affiliated entities High River Limited Partnership and Icahn Capital LP (the Icahn defendants), Xerox Holdings, and all then-current Xerox Holdings directors (the Directors). Xerox Holdings was named as a nominal defendant in the case but no monetary damages are sought against it. Miami Firefighters alleges: breach of fiduciary duty of loyalty against the Icahn defendants; breach of contract against the Icahn defendants (for purchasing HP stock in violation of Icahn’s confidentiality agreement with Xerox Holdings); unjust enrichment against the Icahn defendants; and breach of fiduciary duty of loyalty against the Directors (for any consent to the Icahn defendants’ purchases of HP common stock while Xerox Holdings was considering acquiring HP). Miami Firefighters seeks a judgment of breach of fiduciary duties against the Icahn defendants and the Directors, and disgorgement to Xerox Holdings of profits Icahn Capital and High River earned from trading in HP stock. This action was consolidated with a similar action brought by Steven J. Reynolds against the same parties in the same court. Miami Firefighters’ counsel has been designated as lead counsel in the consolidated action.
Claims asserted against the Directors were later dismissed.
The parties have reached a stipulation of settlement providing for certain governance changes and a payment by the Icahn defendants to Xerox. This stipulation has been submitted to the Supreme Court of the State of New York for approval, and Miami Firefighters has submitted a contested fee application seeking $ 5 that is under consideration by that court as well.
Guarantees, Indemnifications and Warranty Liabilities
Indemnifications Provided as Part of Contracts and Agreements
Acquisitions/Divestitures:
We have indemnified, subject to certain deductibles and limits, the purchasers of businesses or divested assets for the occurrence of specified events under certain of our divestiture agreements. In addition, we customarily agree to hold the other party harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations and covenants, including such matters as adequate title to assets sold, intellectual property rights, specified environmental matters and certain income taxes arising prior to the date of acquisition. Where appropriate, an obligation for such indemnifications is recorded as a liability at the time of the acquisition or divestiture. Since the obligated amounts of these types of indemnifications are often not explicitly stated and/or are contingent on the occurrence of future events, the overall maximum amount of the obligation under such indemnifications cannot be reasonably estimated. Other than obligations recorded as liabilities at the time of divestiture, we have not historically made significant payments for these indemnifications. Additionally, under certain of our acquisition agreements, we have provided for additional consideration to be paid to the sellers if established financial targets are achieved post-closing. We have recognized liabilities for these contingent obligations based on an estimate of the fair value of these contingencies at the time of acquisition. Contingent obligations related to indemnifications arising from our divestitures and contingent consideration provided for by our acquisitions are not expected to be material to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Other Agreements:
We are also party to the following types of agreements pursuant to which we may be obligated to indemnify the other party with respect to certain matters:
• Guarantees on behalf of our subsidiaries with respect to real estate leases. These lease guarantees may remain in effect subsequent to the sale of the subsidiary.
• Agreements to indemnify various service providers, trustees and bank agents from any third-party claims related to their performance on our behalf, with the exception of claims that result from a third-party's own willful misconduct or gross negligence.
• Guarantees of our performance in certain sales and services contracts to our customers and indirectly the performance of third parties with whom we have subcontracted for their services. This includes indemnifications to customers for losses that may be sustained as a result of the use of our equipment at a customer's location.
In each of these circumstances, our payment is conditioned on the other party making a claim pursuant to the procedures specified in the particular contract and such procedures also typically allow us to challenge the other party's claims. In the case of lease guarantees, we may contest the liabilities asserted under the lease. Further, our
Xerox 2024 Annual Report 149
Table of Contents Legal Sign-off 2.24.25
obligations under these agreements and guarantees may be limited in terms of time and/or amount, and in some instances, we may have recourse against third parties for certain payments we made.
Patent Indemnifications
In most sales transactions to resellers of our products, we indemnify against possible claims of patent infringement caused by our products or solutions. In addition, we indemnify certain software providers against claims that may arise as a result of our use or our subsidiaries', customers' or resellers' use of their software in our products and solutions. These indemnities usually do not include limits on the claims, provided the claim is made pursuant to the procedures required in the sales contract.
Indemnification of Officers and Directors
The corporate by-laws of Xerox Holdings Corporation and Xerox Corporation require that, except to the extent expressly prohibited by law, we must indemnify Xerox Holdings Corporation's and Xerox Corporation's officers and directors, respectively, against judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement, including legal fees and all appeals, incurred in connection with civil or criminal action or proceedings, as it relates to their services to Xerox Holdings Corporation and/or Xerox Corporation and their subsidiaries. Although the by-laws provide no limit on the amount of indemnification, Xerox Holdings Corporation or Xerox Corporation may have recourse against our insurance carriers for certain payments made by Xerox Holdings Corporation or Xerox Corporation. However, certain indemnification payments (such as those related to "clawback" provisions in certain compensation arrangements) may not be covered under Xerox Holdings Corporation's and Xerox Corporation's directors' and officers' insurance coverage. Xerox Holdings Corporation and Xerox Corporation also indemnify certain fiduciaries of our employee benefit plans for liabilities incurred in their service as fiduciary whether or not they are officers of Xerox Holdings Corporation or Xerox Corporation. Finally, in connection with Xerox Holdings Corporation's and/or Xerox Corporation's acquisition of businesses, we may become contractually obligated to indemnify certain former and current directors, officers and employees of those businesses in accordance with pre-acquisition by-laws and/or indemnification agreements and/or applicable state law.
Guarantees
We have issued or provided approximately $ 213 of guarantees as of December 31, 2024 in the form of letters of credit or surety bonds issued to i) support certain insurance programs; ii) support our obligations related to the Brazil tax and labor contingencies (see Brazil Contingencies ); iii) support our obligations related to our U.K. pension plans; and iv) support certain contracts, primarily with public sector customers, which require us to provide a surety bond as a guarantee of our performance of contractual obligations.
In general, we would only be liable for the amount of these guarantees in the event we, or one of our direct or indirect subsidiaries whose obligations we have guaranteed, defaulted in performing our obligations under each contract; the probability of which we believe is remote. We believe that our capacity in the surety markets as well as under various credit arrangements (including our Credit Facility) is sufficient to allow us to respond to future requests for proposals that require such credit support.

Note 21 - Preferred Stock
Series A Convertible Perpetual Voting Preferred Stock
As of December 31, 2024, Xerox Holdings Corporation had one class of preferred stock outstanding. Xerox Holdings Corporation has issued 180,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock that have an aggregate liquidation value of $ 180 and a carrying value of $ 214 . The Series A Preferred Stock pays quarterly cash dividends at a rate of 8 % per year ($ 14 per year), on a cumulative basis. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at any time, at the option of the holder, into 37.4532 shares of common stock of Xerox Holdings Corporation for a total of 6,742 thousand shares (reflecting an initial conversion price of approximately $ 26.70 per share of common stock), subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. At December 31, 2024, 6,742 thousand shares of Common Stock were reserved for conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock.
If the closing price of Xerox Holdings Corporation common stock exceeds $ 39.00 or 146.1 % of the initial conversion price of $ 26.70 per share of common stock for 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days, Xerox Holdings Corporation will have the right to cause any or all of the Series A Preferred Stock to be converted into shares of common stock at the then applicable conversion rate. The Series A Preferred Stock is also convertible, at the option of the holder, upon a change in control, at the applicable conversion rate plus an additional number of shares determined by reference to the price paid for our common stock upon such change in control. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain fundamental change events, including a change in control or the delisting of Xerox Holdings Corporation's common stock, the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock has the right to require Xerox Holdings Corporation to redeem any or all of the preferred stock in cash at a redemption price per share equal to the liquidation preference and any accrued and unpaid dividends up to, but not including, the redemption date. The Series A Preferred Stock is classified as temporary equity (i.e., apart from permanent equity) as a result of the contingent redemption feature.
Series A Preferred Stock Voting Rights
The Xerox Holdings Corporation Series A Preferred Stock votes together with the Xerox Holdings Corporation common stock, as a single class, on all matters submitted to the shareholders of Xerox Holdings Corporation, but the Xerox Holdings Corporation Series A Voting Preferred Stock is only entitled to one vote for every ten shares of Xerox Holdings Corporation common stock into which the Xerox Holdings Corporation Series A Preferred Stock is convertible ( 674,157 votes at December 31, 2024).

Icahn Share Repurchase
On September 28, 2023, Xerox Holdings Corporation entered into a share purchase agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with Carl C. Icahn and certain of his affiliates (Icahn Parties) pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase an aggregate of approximately 34 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at a price of $ 15.84 per share, the closing price on September 27, 2023, the last full trading day prior to the execution of the Purchase Agreement, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $ 542 . The purchase was completed and settled on September 28, 2023 and was funded by a $ 555 Credit Agreement with Jefferies Finance LLC (Jefferies Finance), as the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Lender. This loan was subsequently repaid in November 2023 with the proceeds from a Term Loan B Credit Facility (Refer to Note 15 – Debt for additional information regarding the Term Loan B Credit Facility). Aggregate fees associated with the share repurchase were approximately $ 11 and include the 1% excise tax on net share repurchases as required by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.

(shares in thousands, unless otherwise noted)
We have a long-term incentive plan whereby eligible employees may be granted restricted stock units (RSUs), performance share units (PSUs) and stock options (SOs). We grant stock-based compensation awards in order to continue to attract and retain qualified employees and to better align employees' interests with those of our shareholders. Each of these awards is subject to settlement with newly issued shares of Xerox Holdings Corporation's common stock.

PSU awards are comprised of performance-based components (Operating income improvement and Earnings per share) as well as market-based components (Relative Total Shareholder Return (RTSR) and Absolute Share Price). PSUs granted in 2024 are entirely performance-based with an RTSR modifier - see Market-Based Component below. PSUs granted in 2023 are entirely market-based, and PSUs granted in 2022 are one-half performance-based and one-half market-based. The metrics and weightings are as follows:
Award Year (Metric Weighting)
Performance Metric 2024 2023 2022
Operating income improvement (1)
100 % — % — %
Earnings per share — % — % 50 %
Relative total shareholder return — % 100 % — %
Absolute share price — % — % 50 %
100 % 100 % 100 %
____________
(1) PSUs granted in 2024 are performance-based (Operating income improvement metric) with an RTSR modifier which can increase or decrease the number of shares that ultimately vest by 25 %.
The measures are independent of each other and depending on the achievement of these metrics, a recipient of a PSU award is entitled to receive a number of shares equal to a percentage, ranging from 0 % to 200 % of the PSU award granted. All PSUs granted have a three-year cliff vesting from the date of grant.
Performance-Based Component: This PSU component vests contingent upon meeting predetermined annual and/or cumulative performance metrics. The 2024 PSU metric vests contingent upon meeting predetermined, annual as well as cumulative Operating income improvement goals established for four discrete performance periods (2024, 2025 and 2026) weighted 20 %, respectively, and a three-year cumulative goal (2024-2026) weighted 40 %. The 2022 PSU metric, Earnings per share, vests contingent upon meeting a three-year cumulative goal (2022-2024). The fair value of this PSU component is based upon the grant-date market price for the underlying stock. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over a three-year vesting period, based on management's estimate of the number of shares expected to vest and based on meeting the performance metrics. If actual results exceed the stated targets, all plan participants have the potential to earn additional shares of common stock up to a maximum over-achievement of 100 % of the original grant. If the stated targets are not met, any recognized compensation cost would be reversed.

Table of Contents Legal Sign-off 2.24.25
Market-Based Component: The RTSR metric, included as part of the 2024 PSU, is based on Xerox Holdings Corporation's stock price appreciation, inclusive of dividends paid, measured over three equally weighted performance periods (2024, 2024-2025, and 2024-2026). RTSR will be determined by ranking Xerox Holdings Corporation and the companies within the S&P 600 Information Technology Index, as approved by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee of the Board, from highest to lowest according to their respective TSRs, for each of the three performance periods. Payout for this portion of the 2024 PSU will be determined based on the average RTSR of the three measurement periods, and based on these results, the RTSR modifier can increase or decrease the number of shares that ultimately vest by 25 %. Final payout will be determined based on the cumulative results of the four individually weighted measurement periods of Xerox’s Operating income improvement metric, and depending on the RTSR performance, a potential increase or decrease of 25 %, with a maximum over-achievement of 100 % of the original grant. The RTSR metric, included as part of the 2023 PSU, is based on Xerox Holdings Corporation's stock price appreciation, inclusive of dividends paid, measured over three equally weighted performance periods (2023, 2023-2024, and 2023-2025). RTSR will be determined by ranking Xerox Holdings Corporation and the companies within two distinct market indices, as approved by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee of the Board, from highest to lowest according to their respective TSRs, for each of the three performance periods. Payout for the 2023 PSU will be determined based on the weighted average of Xerox Holdings Corporation's payout for each of the three performance periods. The Absolute Share Price metric, included as the market-based component of the 2022 PSU grant, is based on Xerox Holdings Corporation's average closing price for the last 20 trading days of the three-year performance period, inclusive of dividends during that period. Payout for these portions of the PSU metrics will be determined based on total return targets. Since these metrics represent market conditions, Monte Carlo simulations were used to determine their respective grant-date fair values.
A summary of Xerox Holding's key valuation input assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation relative to awards granted were as follows:
2024 Award 2023 Award 2022 Award
Term 3 years 3 years 3 years
Risk-free interest rate (1)
4.20 % 3.80 % 1.09 %
Volatility (2)
42.88 % 52.21 % 42.07 %
Weighted average fair value (3)
$ 18.29 $ 23.00 $ 27.89
____________
(1) The risk-free interest rate was based on the zero-coupon U.S. Treasury yield curve on the valuation date, with a maturity matched to the performance period.
(2) Volatility is derived from historical stock prices as well as implied volatility when appropriate and available.
(3) The weighted average of fair values used to record compensation expense as determined by the Monte Carlo simulation.
Our RTSR and Absolute Share Price metrics are compared against total return targets to determine the payout as follows:
2024 2023 2022

____________
(1) For performance between the levels described above, the degree of vesting is interpolated on a linear basis.
Compensation expense for the market-based component of the PSU awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period based on the fair value determined by the Monte Carlo simulation and, except in cases of employee forfeiture, cannot be reversed regardless of performance.

Note: With respect to all stock-based compensation programs, Management’s estimate of the number of shares expected to vest at the time of grant reflects an estimate for forfeitures based on our historical forfeiture rate to date. Should actual forfeitures differ from management’s estimate, the activity will be reflected in a subsequent period. In addition, RSUs, PSUs and SOs awarded to employees who are retirement-eligible at the date of grant, become retirement-eligible during the vesting period, or are terminated not-for-cause (e.g., as part of a restructuring initiative), vest based on service provided from the date of grant to the date of separation.
