Part I
Item 1. Business
Xerox is a workplace technology company, building and integrating services-led, software-enabled, workplace solutions for enterprises large and small. As customers seek to manage information and document workflows across digital and physical platforms, we deliver a seamless, secure, and sustainable experience. Whether inventing the copier, the Ethernet, the laser printer or more, Xerox has long defined the modern work experience and continues to do so with investments in IT infrastructure, artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), intelligent document processing (IDP), robotic process automation (RPA) and other technologies that enable Xerox to deliver essential products and services to address the productivity challenges of a hybrid workplace and distributed workforce.
Xerox serves customers globally in North America, Europe, Latin America, Brazil, Asia Pacific (APAC), the Middle East, Africa, and India. This geographic span allows us to deliver our technology and solutions to customers of all sizes, regardless of complexity or number of customer locations.
Recent Changes and Developments
Reinvention
2025 was a pivotal year for Reinvention, which is a multi-year strategy designed to transform the way Xerox operates. Its objectives are to strengthen our core business and improve financial flexibility enabling investments in solutions, initiatives, and capabilities intended to support market share gains and expansion into higher-growth verticals beyond print, with the goal of delivering sustainable long-term revenue and profit growth.
In 2025, we completed the acquisition of Lexmark International II, LLC (Lexmark) (the Lexmark Acquisition). The addition of Lexmark is intended to enhance Xerox's operational resilience and cost structure. Expected benefits include increased presence in the A4 color segment, entry into the APAC print market, potential reductions in product and tariff-related costs through the use of Lexmark’s manufacturing footprint, improved supply chain flexibility, and the ability to leverage Lexmark’s global capability centers and IT infrastructure to support customer satisfaction and operational efficiency. The combined company also offers a wider portfolio of offerings and services to Lexmark’s large customer base. During the year we also completed the integration of ITsavvy, forming our new Xerox IT Solutions organization (IT Solutions). IT Solutions meaningfully expands Xerox’s reach of the typical IT budget by providing additional offerings as well as opportunities that strengthen our relationship with existing clients. In 2025, growth of the IT Solutions business was driven primarily by ITsavvy as well as client demand for integrated infrastructure, cloud, security, and automation solutions.
Our Reinvention efforts are focused on Operational Simplification, and Commercial Optimization and Growth. During 2025, we made significant progress across each priority.
• Operational Simplification
– Achieved cumulative run-rate gross cost savings of more than $500 million through year-end 2025, including Integration savings
– Eliminated duplicative systems, implemented more efficient systems and processes, and enhanced efficiency in procurement, warehousing, inventory management and demand planning
– Launched tools focused on digital transformation
• Commercial Optimization and Growth:
– Re-entered the growing mid-volume Production inkjet market through partnerships, with the launch of IJP900 and Proficio products
– Launched Inside Sales operations in U.S. and Canada
– Invested in partner programs and customer initiatives
– Integrated ITsavvy, enhancing Xerox’s IT Solutions offering and expanding Total Addressable Market (TAM) of Xerox's offerings
– Closed the Lexmark Acquisition, providing greater exposure to growing Print markets
In 2026, the focus of Reinvention will progress to specific initiatives designed to i) further optimize our commercial operations, ii) leverage the capabilities of our acquired business to accelerate Reinvention, and iii) simplify the business. We will continue to leverage the Global Business Services (GBS) organization to design and implement continuous operating efficiencies.
Xerox 2025 Annual Report 1
Table of Conten t s
Other Strategic Changes
During the year, the Company extended its forward flow program to Europe to support liquidity and balance sheet management. During 2025, the Company entered into a funding arrangement in the United Kingdom and France with an affiliate of LCM Capital LLP, as well as an arrangement with an additional partner in Portugal. These transactions provide for the sale of certain finance receivables, with the Company continuing to service the receivables under separate servicing agreements.
The Company plans to continue to assess similar arrangements in other jurisdictions, subject to market conditions, regulatory requirements, and internal approval processes.
Strategic Priorities
Our long-term strategic objective is to increase our share of our clients' technology spending through increased penetration of Xerox's solutions among our existing client base, the development of new, content-driven solutions, and expanded distribution with third-party channel partners. We believe Xerox’s globally recognizable brand, our deep understanding of clients’ industries and businesses, and clients' trust have afforded us a path to compete in IT Solutions and Digital Services, markets where we already have leading solutions and where we are actively investing to develop more.
Our strategic priorities for 2026 continue to be: Execute Reinvention, Realize the Benefits of Recent Acquisitions, and Strengthen the Balance Sheet.
Execute Reinvention: In 2026, the Company plans to shift the focus of Reinvention to the implementation of initiatives designed to enhance revenue and improve profitability. We plan to continue to leverage the GBS organization to design and implement continuous operating efficiencies and further utilize Lexmark’s global capability centers in the Philippines, Hungary, and India. These efforts are expected to support structural cost improvements and higher service quality through continued technology-enabled productivity enhancements, outsourcing optimization, and process standardization. Additional initiatives are expected to focus on strengthening our core business through continued route-to-market and offering optimization, expanded Partner relationships and greater penetration of IT Solutions & Digital Services across Xerox’s Print client base.
Realize the Benefits of Recent Acquisitions: 2026 is an important year for accelerating growth in the IT Solutions business and advancing the integration of Lexmark. As we integrate Lexmark, we aim to take a best-in breed approach and offer the best of both companies to our clients, while generating more than $300 million of expected run rate synergies by the end of 2027.
Strengthen the Balance Sheet: Reduction of debt is our primary capital allocation priority. We target a leverage ratio of less than 3.0x total debt to EBITDA.
Reportable Segments and Geographic Sales Channels
During the first quarter of 2025, the Company updated its determination of reportable segments to align with a change in how the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), our Chief Executive Officer (CEO), allocates resources and assesses performance against the Company’s key growth and Reinvention strategies. As such, it was determined that there are two reportable segments - Print and Other and IT Solutions . Prior to this change, the Company had determined that there were two reportable segments - Print and Other and Xerox Financial Solutions (XFS). As a result of this change, prior period reportable segment results and related disclosures have been conformed to reflect the Company’s current reportable segments as follows:
• Print and Other – includes the design, development and sale of document management systems, supplies and services as well as financing and technology-related offerings, digital and print-related software products and services. This segment includes revenues from the following primary offerings: Workplace Solutions, Production Solutions, Xerox Services, and XFS.
• IT Solutions – provides clients of all sizes integrated IT infrastructure solutions, delivering business outcomes through its suite of Device Lifecycle Solutions, and Managed IT Services. The IT Solutions business leverages its professional services and engineering capabilities, along with an extensive partner ecosystem to design, develop and deliver comprehensive Network and Security Solutions, and Infrastructure and Cloud Solutions.
We also employ a matrix organization that includes a product and geographic focus based on alignment with the economic buyers of our products and services.

Revenues
We have a broad and diverse base of customers by both geography and industry, ranging from small and mid-sized clients to printing production companies, governmental entities, educational institutions and Fortune 1000 corporations.

Geographic Information
Overall, approximately 43% of our revenue is generated by customers outside the U.S. Additional details can be found in Note 4 - Segment and Geographic Area Reporting in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Patents, Trademarks and Licenses
In 2025, Xerox and its subsidiaries were awarded 163 U.S. utility and design patents. Our patent portfolio evolves as new patents are awarded to us and older patents expire. As of December 31, 2025, Xerox held 4,153 U.S. utility and design patents. These patents expire at various dates up to 20 years or more from their original filing dates. While we believe that our portfolio of patents and applications has value, in general no single patent is essential to our business.
Xerox 2025 Annual Report 4
Table of Conten t s
In 2025, we were party to multiple patent-related agreements in which we sold, licensed or assigned our patents to others in return for revenue and/or access to their patents or to further our business goals. Most patent licenses expire concurrently with the expiration of the last patent identified in the license or after a specified term of years. These agreements vary in subject matter, scope, financials, significance, and duration.
As of December 31, 2025, we own 159 trademarks in the U.S., either registered or applied for. These trademarks have a perpetual life, subject to periodic renewal requirements. We vigorously enforce and protect our trademarks.
In February 2026, Xerox Corporation entered into a joint venture arrangement with certain investors including certain funds and accounts managed by Angelo, Gordon & Co., L.P. (collectively, TPG), under which Xerox Corporation contributed certain intellectual property and related assets, including the trademarks in respect of the Xerox brand. Refer to Note 26 – Subsequent Events in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the joint venture arrangement.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
The Xerox 2025 Corporate Social Responsibility Report describes our management approach related to CSR. Our work aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which provide a framework to end poverty, protect the planet and improve the lives and prospects of everyone, everywhere. To ensure we are responsive to all stakeholders, Xerox has also been reporting in accordance with the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). (The 2025 CSR Report, SASB report, and GRI report are accessible at www.xerox.com/CSR. The content of our website is not incorporated by reference in this combined Form 10-K unless expressly noted.)
Environment
Xerox's net zero goal is 2040 and climate change-related risks and opportunities are integrated into our Enterprise Risk Management. We share our roadmap to reach net zero in our 2025 CSR Report. Our roadmap covers our full value chain and focuses on improving processes and energy efficiency as well as designing products to help our clients meet their goals. We have set interim targets in line with science-based global warming guidelines, which are also validated and approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Our GHG emissions are third-party assured in accordance with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14064-3:2019. We report progress towards our targets within our CSR report and progress summary reports. In 2025, Xerox was named to CDP’s Annual "A List” for climate change transparency and performance. CDP is a nonprofit organization that runs the global disclosure system for investors, companies, and regions to manage their environmental impacts.
Circular economy initiatives remain a part of our business strategy. We continued to expand collection and waste reduction programs, while also bringing to market additional remanufactured and refurbished product offerings. Based on data from 2024 (the latest full year data is available), approximately 97% of spent supplies, equipment, and parts returned through the Xerox Supplies Recycling Programs were recycled, reused or remanufactured. We continue to make progress towards increasing the post-consumer recycled content in our eco-label eligible devices.
Human Capital
Our Employees
As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately 22,900 employees, an increase of approximately 6,100, or 36.3%, since December 31, 2024. The increase primarily relates to the Lexmark Acquisition, partially offset by the impact of the Company's Reinvention, which includes the effects of workforce reduction decisions.
On a geographic basis, at December 31, 2025, approximately 9,400 employees were located in the U.S. and approximately 13,500 employees were located outside the U.S. We had approximately 10,100 employees, or approximately 45% of our total employees, engaged in providing services to customers (direct service and managed services) and approximately 2,400 employees engaged in direct sales.
Approximately 15% of our employees are represented by unions or similar organizations, such as worker’s councils with approximately 90% located outside the U.S. As of December 31, 2025, approximately 30% of our employees were women and approximately 30% of our U.S. employees self-identified as diverse.
Following the Lexmark Acquisition, the Company began the process of integrating the legacy Xerox and Lexmark organizations. In October 2025, the Company announced a targeted workforce reduction, with actions to be taken across all levels and areas of the combined organization. Reductions are subject to formal consultation with local works councils and employee representative bodies, where applicable, and we will fully comply with all required notifications, including U.S. state WARN laws, at the appropriate time. We believe the decision to reduce our workforce was a difficult but necessary step to accelerate our Reinvention journey and position Xerox for long-term, profitable, and sustainable growth. We are committed to providing transition support for affected employees.

Employee Safety
At Xerox, we are committed to maintaining a safe workplace for our employees. We use an incident reporting process, regular safety inspections, and hazard analyses to identify opportunities for reducing or preventing incidents. To further promote safety awareness, we implement site-specific hazard management programs, share off-the-job safety information, and communicate proactively about safety concerns.
Engagement and Talent Development
Xerox remains committed to continuously revitalizing our employee experience and supporting employees through the shift to our new operating model, which is driving our Reinvention and Xerox's transformation. To facilitate these ongoing changes, we began strengthening our change management capabilities by creating a proactive, consistent global approach, upskilling our people, and enabling new ways of working. We improved our ability to make data-driven decisions and streamlined various processes to unlock our people's potential.
To support the employee experience, we have enhanced manager enablement resources and strengthened our leadership capability model that help our managers excel. Additionally, we offer other benefits including paid parental leave in the U.S.
We standardized the way employee performance is evaluated. By evolving our performance management processes, we have driven accountability and ensured employees received feedback and coaching to reach their highest potential. With a specific focus on sales performance, we redesigned and simplified our sales compensation plans.
Xerox sponsors numerous corporate development initiatives for targeted populations (i.e., high potentials, emerging technology professionals, and senior leaders, etc.), and corporate processes such as succession planning to ensure that we have a clear leadership pipeline for critical organizational roles.
Total Rewards
Xerox's ability to execute on its strategy depends on attracting, retaining, and motivating a highly productive, global workforce. To support this objective, we offer a comprehensive Total Rewards program that includes compensation, benefits, and work-life programs. These programs are designed to align employee rewards with business performance, promote consistency and fairness, and support the Company’s overall strategy. Our Total Rewards programs are guided by the following principles:
• Drive shareholder value : Align rewards with sustainable performance, operational efficiency, and long-term shareholder value.
• Reinforce performance alignment : Differentiate rewards based on performance and contributions, with an emphasis on accountability and results.
• Support workforce needs : Maintain competitive and equitable programs that support attraction, retention, and engagement of our global workforce.
As with most global companies, our compensation and benefits vary based on employee eligibility, and local practices and regulations. We benchmark our programs to ensure we remain competitive with our peers and the markets we serve, and to maintain alignment with our short-term and long-term business goals.
Our compensation offerings include base pay, as well as short-term and long-term incentive programs. Our short-term programs include: a management incentive plan (MIP) designed to drive Xerox’s annual pay-for-performance culture and incentivize our leaders to help Xerox achieve sustainable growth and profitability; and a sales compensation program that tightly aligns our sales force with business goals. Our Long-Term Incentive (LTI) equity-based programs reinforces alignment of our leaders and key talent with shareholders.
Our benefits offerings provide our employees with choice and flexibility to help them reach their health and financial goals. Our offerings include the following core programs: health, wellness, retirement, paid time off, life and disability insurance, and access to voluntary benefits.

Employee Training
All employees are required to complete annual training in ethics, privacy, and security. Certain employees are required to complete additional specialized training pertaining to their roles within the organization. Additionally, numerous training programs are available for employees to take on their own initiative.
We adopt a blended technology-led learning model to drive the Xerox business and talent strategies. The Xerox workforce has access to learning in various modalities that support professional development and build capabilities across the Company, on time, and in a cost-effective manner. Our Learning function is focused on business agility and driving digital transformation across our workforce.
Our employees have access to a global learning platform that includes an extensive portfolio of online courses, virtual classroom events, simulations, job aids, and other learning and development resources. As our business evolves, we continue to leverage technology to identify new skills and capabilities required to ensure we remain competitive in the global market. Our Learning function partners with Xerox business leaders to design capability-building programs and Xerox's senior leadership champions a long-term vision to continually develop the skills of our employees. In 2025, our learning management system recorded over 195,000 learning completions.
In 2025, we delivered a new era of learning with the launch of Xerox Learning Central, our next-generation Learning Management System. This platform modernized our approach to workforce development and strengthened learning as a core enabler of growth and innovation. As part of this delivery, we revitalized our enterprise learning framework through the implementation of the Xerox Competency Framework, ensuring our workforce is equipped with the capabilities required for a digital- and AI-driven environment
Material Government Regulations
Our business activities are worldwide and are subject to various federal, state, local, and foreign laws and our products and services are governed by a number of rules and regulations. In 2025, costs increased as a result of complying with U.S. tariff-related regulations. The increase was partially offset by pricing actions, supply chain optimization initiatives, and other mitigation efforts.
For a discussion of the risks associated with government regulations that may materially impact us, please refer to Item 1A - Risk Factors included in this combined Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Marketing and Distribution
We go to market with a client-centric, market-informed, and services-led approach, selling workplace products and solutions that support the hybrid workplace and distributed workforce. We service our clients through our direct sales force, including our new inside sales organization, or indirectly through distributors, independent agents, dealers, value-added resellers, systems integrators, and e-commerce marketplaces. In addition, we continue to focus on broadening our footprint to sell offerings to the small and mid-sized markets primarily in the U.S., the U.K., and Canada through Xerox Business Solutions (XBS) which is comprised of regional core companies that provide office technology and services. Our IT Solutions business provides IT infrastructure solutions to clients of all sizes in the U.S., Canada, and Western Europe.
We are structured to serve our clients globally through our business-unit led operating model and organizational structure which covers direct and indirect routes to market in the Americas (comprised of the U.S., Canada, and Latin America) and EMEA (comprised of Europe, the Middle East, Africa and India), the APAC region, and OEM clients. We have common global delivery model that we believe provides a consistent client experience worldwide. We believe that this structure creates a leaner and more effective go-to-market model that streamlines our supply chain and provides our clients with best-in-class services.
Competition
Although we encounter competition in all areas of our business, we believe we are the leader - or among the leaders - in our core entry, mid-range and high-end product groups. We compete on the basis of technology, performance, price, quality, reliability, brand reputation, distribution, service and support.
The larger competitors in our print business include Brother, Canon, FUJIFILM Business Innovations Corp., HP Inc., Konica Minolta, Kyocera and Ricoh. Our brand recognition, reputation for document management expertise, innovative technology and service delivery are our competitive advantages. These advantages, combined with our breadth of product offerings, global distribution channels and client relationships, position us as a strong competitor going forward. As we continue our strategy to diversify and grow other businesses, we may face additional competition from non-print market participants.
With respect to our financing business, our main competitors vary considerably from equipment manufacturers with captive financing operations to third-party independent leasing entities and financial institutions. We generally
Xerox 2025 Annual Report 7
Table of Conten t s
compete based on pricing, relationships with customers, dealers and partners and by offering a better integrated service experience.
Our IT Solutions business competes with integrated other IT solutions providers and value-added resellers of IT infrastructure equipment. Competitors range in size, technological specialty and geographic presence. Our competitive advantages are the breadth of IT solutions provided, the skill sets and quality of our service and support technicians, our relationships with OEM partners and our ability to leverage Xerox’s existing client base to provide a comprehensive suite of print and IT solutions to clients.
Customer Financing (XFS)
We finance a large portion of our direct channel customer purchases of Xerox equipment through bundled lease agreements. We also provide lease financing to end-user customers who purchase Xerox equipment and solutions through our indirect channels. We compete with other third-party leasing companies and financial institutions with respect to the lease financing provided to these end-user customers. In both instances, financing facilitates customer acquisition of Xerox technology and enhances our value proposition, while providing Xerox a return on our investment in this business.
Because our lease contracts allow customers to pay for equipment over time rather than upfront upon installation, we maintain a certain level of debt to support our investment in these lease contracts. We fund our customer financing activity through a combination of cash generated from operations, cash on hand, finance receivables sales and proceeds from capital market offerings. At December 31, 2025, we had approximately $1.4 billion of finance receivables and $299 million of Equipment on operating leases, net, or Total Finance assets of approximately $1.7 billion. We maintain an assumed 7:1 leverage ratio of debt to equity as compared to our Finance assets, which results in approximately $1.5 billion of our $4.2 billion of debt being allocated to our financing business.
Refer to "Debt and Customer Financing Activities" and "Finance Assets and Related Debt" in the Capital Resources and Liquidity section of Management's Discussion and Analysis, included in Item 7 of this combined Form 10-K, for additional information.
Manufacturing and Supply
Xerox operates a global manufacturing network designed for scale, resilience, and cost efficiency, with facilities across North America, Latin America, Europe, and Asia. Our largest manufacturing sites are located in Webster, New York, where we produce key components and consumables, including toner, and Juarez, Mexico, which serves as a primary hub for printer and supplies manufacturing and assembly, and further expands the scale and geographic diversity of our combined footprint. In addition, we have materials and components manufacturing operations in Wilsonville, Oregon, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and Boulder Colorado.
We supplement internal manufacturing with a diversified network of third-party sourcing and contract manufacturing partners to enhance flexibility and manage supply chain risk. Fujifilm Business Innovation Corp. is our largest strategic sourcing partner, supporting products across our portfolio.
Our supply chain is supported by a global network of logistics partners providing warehousing and transportation services. Reverse logistics is an integral part of our sustainability strategy and is conducted in the United States at our Cincinnati, Ohio facility, and in Mexico at our Juarez facility, as well as through other internationally qualified partners.
International Operations
The financial measures, by geographical area for 2025, 2024 and 2023, are included in Note 4 - Segment and Geographic Area Reporting in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. See also the risk factor entitled “The international nature of our business subjects us to a number of risks, including foreign exchange and interest rate risk and unfavorable political, regulatory, and tax conditions in foreign countries.” in Part I, Item 1A Risk Factors of this combined report on Form 10-K.
Seasonality
Our revenues and operating results are subject to seasonality and may be affected by factors such as the timing of new product and solution introductions, the length of sales cycles, the seasonality of technology purchases, and, for our Print and Other segment, fluctuations in printing volume. Historically, these factors have resulted in lower revenues, operating profits, and operating cash flows for the Print and Other segment in the first and third quarters, while the IT Solutions segment has experienced higher revenues and operating profits in the second and third quarters.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
You should carefully consider the following risk factors as well as the other information included, and risks described, in other sections of this combined Form 10-K, including under the headings “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” “Legal Proceedings,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and in our Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes thereto.
Any of the following risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations. The selected risks described below, however, are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or those we currently view to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
Summary of Principal Risk Factors
Our business is subject to change, risks, and uncertainties, as described herein. The primary risk factors that the Company considers material include, but are not limited to, the following:
Company-Specific Risk Factors
• Our business, results of operations, cash flow, and financial condition are affected by global macroeconomic conditions;
• Our profitability is dependent on our ability to obtain adequate pricing for our products and services and to improve our cost structure;
• We have outsourced a material portion of our manufacturing operations and significantly rely on third-party manufacturers, subcontractors, and suppliers;
• We may not achieve the expected benefits of our restructuring and transformation plans, including Reinvention; and
• Our level of debt could adversely affect our financial condition and reduce our financial flexibility.
Regulatory Risk Factors
• The international nature of our business subjects us to a number of risks, including unfavorable political, regulatory, currency, and tax conditions in foreign countries; and
• Tariffs or other restrictions on foreign imports have and could continue to negatively impact our financial performance.
Risks Related to our Acquisition of Lexmark
• Our acquisition of Lexmark International II, LLC (Lexmark) (the Lexmark Acquisition) may present certain risks to our business and operations if the integration process or anticipated synergies fail to meet our expectations; and
• We have incurred a substantial amount of debt in connection with the financing of the Lexmark Acquisition.
Risks Related to Ownership of our Common Stock and our Warrants
• The trading price for the Warrants may bear little or no relationship to traditional valuation methods, or to the market price of our Common Stock, and therefore the trading price of the Warrants may fluctuate significantly following their issuance;
• Hedging arrangements relating to the Warrants may affect the value and volatility of our Common Stock;
• The issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise of the Warrants may depress our stock price;
• Future issuances of additional warrants may adversely affect the market price of the Warrants and the market price of our Common Stock, but there may be no adjustment to the Warrant Exercise Rate for such issuances; and
• The market price for our Common Stock may be volatile and subject to future declines, and the value of an investment in our Common Stock and corresponding derivative securities may decline.
General Risk Factors
• Our business, results of operations and financial condition may be negatively impacted by legal and regulatory matters; and
• Our failure to maintain an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting, could adversely affect our ability to accurately report our results.
• The identification of an error could result in a material weakness and subject the Company to increased regulatory scrutiny as well as adversely affect investor confidence.

Company-Specific Risk Factors
Our business, results of operations, cash flow, and financial condition are affected by global macroeconomic conditions.
Global macroeconomic developments, including conflicts throughout the world, may adversely affect our business and financial results. Our business and financial performance depend on worldwide economic conditions, which affect the demand for our products and services in the markets we serve as well as the cost and availability of inputs to our business. Prolonged or more severe economic weakness and uncertainty, including economic slowdowns or recessions, global market volatility, tariffs, government shutdowns, rising inflation, interest rates, unemployment, and other adverse economic conditions, may result in decreased demand for our products and services, logistical and supply-related challenges, and increased difficulty with financial forecasting. Moreover, the global macroeconomy has a significant impact on interest rates, borrowing costs, and availability and cost of capital, all of which could have an adverse impact on our business. In addition, inflation may adversely affect customers’ financing costs, cash flows, and profitability, which could adversely impact their operations and our ability to collect receivables. Interest rates may rise, which could have a dampening effect on overall economic activity and/or the financial condition of our customers, either or both of which could negatively affect customer demand for our products and our customers’ ability to repay obligations to us. Adverse economic conditions may result in reduced consumer and business confidence and spending, a tightening in the credit markets, a reduced level of liquidity in financial markets, high volatility in credit, fixed-income and equity markets, currency exchange rate fluctuations, and global economic uncertainty. In addition, long-term disruptions in the capital and credit markets could adversely affect our access to liquidity needed for our business. If financial institutions that have extended credit commitments to us are adversely affected by the conditions of the U.S. and international capital markets, they may become unable to fund borrowings under their credit commitments to us, which could have an adverse impact on our financial condition and our ability to borrow additional funds, for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, research and development and other corporate purposes.
The global supply chain may experience pronounced disruptions impacting service providers, logistics, and the flow, cost, and availability of supplies and products. Our business depends on its timely supply of equipment, services, and related products, including semiconductors, to meet the technical and volume requirements of our customers. Shortages of parts, materials, and services needed to manufacture and service our products, as well as delays, have adversely impacted, and may continue to adversely impact, our suppliers’ ability to meet our requirements, and in turn our ability to meet our customers’ needs. Moreover, supply chain constraints may increase costs for our products, which we may not be able to pass on to our customers. We may experience further disruptions to our manufacturing operations, supply chain, and/or distribution channels in the future, and these disruptions may be prolonged.
We are subject to foreign currency exchange and interest rate volatility in our business. Our future revenues, costs and results of operations could be significantly affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates - particularly the euro, the British pound, and the Japanese yen. We use currency derivative contracts to hedge foreign currency-denominated assets, liabilities, and anticipated transactions. This practice is intended to mitigate or reduce volatility in the results of our foreign operations but does not eliminate such volatility. We do not hedge the translation effect of international revenues and expenses that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Although the use of hedging transactions limits our downside risk, their use may also limit future revenues.
If we fail to successfully develop new products, technologies, and service offerings, we may be unable to retain current customers and gain new customers.
We operate in an environment of significant competition, driven by rapid technological developments, changes in industry standards, and demands of customers to become more efficient. Our primary competitors are exerting increased competitive pressure in targeted areas and are entering new markets, and emerging competitors may introduce new technologies, business models, or other innovations. Our competitors include large international companies, some of which have significant financial resources and compete with us globally to provide document processing products and services in the markets we serve. We compete primarily on the basis of technology, performance, price, quality, reliability, brand, distribution, and customer service and support. Our future success is largely dependent upon our ability to compete in the markets we currently serve, to promptly and effectively react to changing technologies and customer expectations, and to expand into additional geographies and/or market segments. To remain competitive, we must develop or acquire new services, applications, and products and periodically enhance our existing offerings. If we are unable to compete successfully through existing and new sales channels, we could lose market share and important customers to our competitors, and such loss could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Xerox 2025 Annual Report 11
Table of Conten t s
The process of developing new high-technology products, software, services, and solutions, and enhancing existing hardware and software products, services, and solutions is complex, costly, and uncertain, and any failure by us to accurately anticipate customers' changing needs and emerging technological trends could significantly harm our market share, results of operations, and financial condition. Changing technological trends may lead to new, adjacent, and ancillary markets for our products, services, and software, requiring us to accurately anticipate our customers' evolving needs. Our business model requires us to commit resources before knowing whether our initiatives will result in products that are commercially successful and generate the revenues required to provide the desired returns.
In addition, our sales strategy requires us to simplify our coverage model and expand into adjacent markets with new products, services, and technology such as integrated IT infrastructure solutions, Intelligent Document Processing, multi-channel client communication services and other workplace productivity solutions. Our ability to develop or acquire new products, services, and technologies for these adjacent markets through new or existing partners may require the investment of significant resources which may not lead to the development of successful new technologies, products, or services.
Our digital services strategy involves developing and deploying essential products and services that address the productivity challenges of a hybrid workplace and distributed workforce. We also expect to extend our IT and digital services presence in the mid-market through organic and inorganic investments over time. Our future success depends on our ability to make such investments and commit the necessary resources to execute our business strategy in this highly competitive market. Despite this investment, the process of developing new products, services, and technologies is inherently complex and uncertain, and there are a number of risks to which we are subject, including the risk that our products, services, or technologies will not successfully satisfy our customers’ needs, conform to evolving preferences or technologies, or gain market acceptance, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Our business and financial performance could suffer if we do not manage the risks associated with our services businesses properly.
The success of our Managed Print and Digital services business depends to a significant degree on attracting, retaining, and maintaining or increasing the level of revenues from our customers. Our standard services agreements are generally renewable at a customer’s option and/or subject to cancellation rights, with or without penalties for early termination. We may not be able to retain or renew services contracts with our customers, or our customers may reduce the scope of the services they contract for. Factors that may influence contract termination, non-renewal, or reduction include reduced print usage, business downturns, dissatisfaction with our services or products, our retirement or lack of support for our products and services, our customers selecting alternative technologies, and the cost of our services as compared to our competitors.
We may not be able to replace the revenue and earnings from lost customers or reductions in services. Although our services agreements may include penalties for early termination, these penalties may not fully cover our investments in these businesses.
In addition, the pricing and other terms of certain services agreements require us to make estimates and assumptions at the time we enter into these contracts that could differ from actual results. Any increased or unexpected costs or unanticipated delays in connection with the performance of these contracts, which may increase as services become more customized, could make these agreements less profitable or unprofitable. As a result, we may not generate the revenues, profits or cash flows we may have anticipated from our services business within the expected timelines, if at all.
Our profitability is dependent upon our ability to obtain adequate pricing for our products and services and to improve our cost structure.
Our success depends on our ability to obtain adequate pricing for our products and services that will provide a reasonable return to our shareholders. Changes in market conditions, including tariffs, inflation, interest rates, foreign currency exchange movements, and global supply chain disruptions have and may continue to exert pressure on the margins we obtain for our products and services. Cost-reduction and pricing actions we undertake may not prove sufficient to offset the adverse impacts of such market conditions.
Our ability to sustain and improve profit margins is dependent on a number of factors, including geographic mix, our ability to continue to improve the cost efficiency of our operations, our ability to sustain pricing increases across our portfolio of products and services in a competitive and inflationary environment, our success in diversifying our suite of products and services, the additional costs imposed by supply chain disruptions, the proportion of high-end, mid- and entry-level equipment sales, and IT Solutions-related equipment sales (i.e., product and services mix), post sale
Xerox 2025 Annual Report 12
Table of Conten t s
revenue trends, and our ability to successfully complete information technology initiatives. If any of these adverse developments materialize or if we are unable to achieve and maintain productivity or efficiency improvements, our ability to offset labor cost inflation, potential materials cost increases and competitive price pressures would be impaired, all of which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Supply chain disruptions and interest rate increases have increased the cost of the materials and components required to manufacture our products, transportation of components and products, and labor associated with all steps of the supply chain. We continually review our operations with a view towards reducing our cost structure, including reducing our employee base, exiting certain businesses and/or geographies, seeking more favorable terms in our current and future supply contracts, improving process and system efficiencies, and outsourcing some internal functions.
If we are unable to control the cost of and obtain adequate pricing for our products and services or if our cost-cutting efforts negatively impact our business, it could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
We have outsourced a material portion of our manufacturing operations and significantly rely on third-party manufacturers, subcontractors, and suppliers.
Xerox engages in global manufacturing operations, which are capital-intensive, involving long lead times, and are subject to interdependencies with customers, labor, and suppliers. We have outsourced a material portion of our manufacturing operations to third parties, such as FUJIFILM Business Innovation Corp. (formerly Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd.). In the normal course of business, we regularly reevaluate our relationships with these third parties and have discussions with other third parties in order to maintain competitive tension and seek improved contracting terms. There is no guarantee that such discussions will lead to better arrangements, and our existing suppliers could react negatively to any alternative arrangements we seek to negotiate with them or with other third parties. We have experienced, and may continue to experience, cost increases from our third-party manufacturing partners and we may not be able to pass on all such cost increases to our customers. In addition, we could incur significant costs in order to transition from one third-party manufacturing partner to another and in sourcing manufacturing would be capital-intensive and require significant lead time.
We face the risk that our third-party manufacturing partners may not be able to develop or manufacture products satisfying all of our requirements, quickly respond to changes in customer demand, and obtain supplies and materials necessary for the manufacturing process. In addition, our partners may experience labor shortages and/or disruptions, transportation cost increases, materials cost increases, and/or manufacturing cost increases that could lead to higher prices for our products and/or lower reliability of our products. Further, since certain third parties to whom we have outsourced manufacturing are also our competitors in the print market, or may become competitors in the future, we could experience product disruption as a result of competitive pressures that increase the cost of the products supplied. If we face product shortages and/or cost increases and are unable to transition to third parties, we could experience supply interruptions, experience lower profit margins, damage our relationships with our customers, and reduce our market share, all of which could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
In addition, in our services business, we may partner with other parties, including software and hardware vendors, to provide the complex solutions required by our customers. Therefore, our ability to deliver the solutions and provide the services required by our customers is dependent on both our and our partners' ability to meet our customers' requirements and schedules. If we or our partners fail to deliver services or products as required and on time, our ability to complete the contract may be adversely affected, which may have an adverse impact on our revenue and profits.
We may be unable to attract and retain key personnel while our business model undergoes significant changes.
Xerox is undergoing significant changes in our business model, including as a result of the Lexmark Acquisition, and, accordingly, current and prospective employees may experience uncertainty about their future and may pursue other opportunities. Our success is dependent, among other things, on our ability to attract, develop and retain highly qualified senior management and other key employees. Competition for key personnel is intense, and our ability to attract and retain key personnel is dependent on a number of factors, including prevailing market conditions and compensation packages offered by companies competing for the same talent. Our ability to do so also depends on how well we maintain a strong corporate culture and corporate brand that is attractive to employees. Hiring and retraining new employees will continue to be a challenge due to competitive labor markets for critical skills, ongoing operating model changes, and heightened competition for leadership and digital talent. The departure of existing key employees or the failure of potential key employees to accept employment with Xerox,
Xerox 2025 Annual Report 13
Table of Conten t s
despite our recruiting efforts, could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and operating results.
We may not achieve the expected benefits of Reinvention, which may adversely affect our business.
We engage in transformation and restructuring efforts such as Reinvention to reduce cost, simplify our structure, and offerings, achieve operating efficiencies, diversify our business, and facilitate the "mix shift" to increase profitability and sustainable cash flow. Reinvention is intended to simplify our organizational structure, upgrade our IT infrastructure and redesign our business processes. As a result of our Reinvention initiatives, we may experience disruptions, inefficiencies, or other setbacks during transitional periods. Reinvention requires a significant amount of time and focus from both management and other employees, which may divert attention from operating and growing our business. Furthermore, the timing and amount of project savings associated with transformation or restructuring initiatives such as Reinvention may be offset by business disruptions during the implementation phase, required initial or ongoing investments in new processes and systems or otherwise.
Moreover, we are adopting new pricing strategies, distribution models, go-to-market models, and changes in our partner models. The market may not respond as expected to such actions. Changes in our pricing structure or approach may not align with customer expectations or industry standards, leading to reduced demand or customer dissatisfaction.
If we fail to achieve some or all of the expected benefits of Reinvention, it could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Among our Reinvention initiatives is the implementation of a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. ERP implementations are complex, labor-intensive and time-consuming projects. The ERP system is critical to our ability to provide important information to our management, obtain and deliver products, provide services and customer support, send invoices and track payments, fulfill contractual obligations, accurately maintain books and records, provide accurate, timely and reliable reports on our financial and operating results, and otherwise operate our business. ERP implementations also require transformation of business and financial processes to reap the benefits of the ERP system. Any such implementation involves risks inherent in the conversion to a new ERP, including loss of information and potential disruption to our normal operations. The implementation and maintenance of the new ERP system has required, and will continue to require, the investment of significant financial and human resources, the re-engineering of processes of our business, and the attention of many employees who would otherwise be focused on other aspects of our business. Our results of operations could be adversely affected if we experience time delays or cost overruns during the ERP implementation process, or if we are unable to reap the benefits we expect from the ERP system. Any material deficiencies in the design and implementation of the new ERP system could also result in potentially materially higher costs than we had incurred previously and could adversely affect our ability to operate our business and otherwise negatively impact our financial reporting and internal controls. Any of these consequences could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
As part of our efforts to streamline operations and reduce costs, in 2024 we launched a Global Business Services (GBS) organization with the goal to centralize, standardize and streamline the Company’s support and operational functions across regions, business units and service lines, thereby lowering operating costs, improving quality and enabling continuous improvement. Historically, we have offshored and outsourced certain of our operations, services, and other functions through arrangements with third parties (e.g., TCS and HCL) and we will continue to evaluate the arrangements in the future. Through the acquisition of Lexmark we plan to leverage their model of global capability centers in the Philippines, Hungary, and India for engineering, IT, cybersecurity, sales operations and service delivery, among other functions. If the transition to these centers leads to disruption and the service does not meet the needs of our customers, or if we are unable to attract or retain sufficient personnel with the necessary skill sets, our reputation could suffer. In addition, much of our offshoring takes place in developing countries and as a result may also be subject to geopolitical uncertainty.
Our government contracts are subject to termination rights, audits, and investigations, which, if exercised, could negatively impact our reputation and reduce our ability to compete for new contracts.
A significant portion of our revenue is derived from contracts with U.S. federal, state and local governments and their agencies, as well as international governments and their agencies. Government entities typically finance projects through appropriated funds. While these projects are often planned and executed as multi-year projects, government entities usually reserve the right to change the scope of or terminate these projects for lack of approved funding and/or at their convenience. Changes in government or political developments, including budget deficits, shortfalls or uncertainties, government spending reductions (e.g., Congressional sequestration of funds under the Budget Control Act of 2011), government shutdowns, or other debt or funding constraints, could result in lower
Xerox 2025 Annual Report 14
Table of Conten t s
governmental sales and in our projects being reduced in price or scope or terminated altogether, which also could limit our recovery of incurred costs, reimbursable expenses and profits on work completed prior to the termination.
Additionally, government agencies routinely audit government contracts. If the government finds that we charged them inappropriate pricing, we could be required to refund or reimburse the government, and there is the possibility of paying fines and penalties. If the government discovers improper or illegal activities or contractual non-compliance in the course of audits or investigations, we may be subject to various civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including termination of contracts, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines and suspensions or debarment from doing business with the government. Any resulting penalties or sanctions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Further, the negative publicity that arises from findings in such audits or investigations could have an adverse effect on our reputation and reduce our ability to compete for new contracts and could also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.
Additionally, our business with the U.S. government, direct or indirect, is subject to specific laws and regulations with numerous and unique compliance requirements relating to formation, administration and performance of U.S. federal or federally funded contracts. These requirements, which may increase or change over time, may increase our performance and compliance costs thereby reducing our margins, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition. Violations or other failures to comply with these laws, regulations or other compliance requirements could lead to terminations for default, suspension or debarment from U.S. government contracting or subcontracting for a period of time or other adverse actions. Such laws, regulations or other compliance requirements include those related to procurement integrity, export control, U.S. government security and information security regulations, supply chain and sourcing requirements and restrictions, employment practices, protection of criminal justice data, protection of the environment, accuracy of records, proper recording of costs, foreign corruption, Trade Agreements Act, Buy America Act, other domestic content requirements, and the False Claims Act.
Our ability to fund our customer financing activities at economically competitive levels depends on our ability to source capital and the cost of capital in the credit markets.
The long-term viability and profitability of our financing business is dependent, in part, on our ability to borrow against or sell leases and the cost of borrowing in the credit markets. This ability and cost, in turn, is dependent on (i) our credit rating, which is currently non-investment grade according to credit rating agency assessments that are subject to periodic reviews and can change following a review and (ii) credit market volatility, which is impacted by global macroeconomic developments such as the war in Ukraine, conflicts in the Middle East. and other global macroeconomic developments. Increased credit market volatility has, among other things, increased the cost of borrowing and reduced access to debt and equity markets. We have historically funded our financing business through a combination of sales and securitizations of finance receivables, capital markets offerings, cash generated from operations and cash on hand. Our current sourcing strategy is centered on selling existing and newly originated finance receivables under long term arrangements with financing partners, which may impact the future revenues of the financing business. Our ability to continue to offer customer financing and be successful in the placement of equipment, software, and IT services with customers seeking to finance those transactions through Xerox is largely dependent on our ability to source funding at a reasonable cost, or at all. If our credit rating declines, the credit market becomes more volatile, or other events occur that reduce the demand for, or our funding partners' ability to provide at attractive rates on, customer financing, it may adversely impact our finance business and results of operations, however, there are alternative sources of funding available to the majority of our customers, which could reduce the overall impact to the broader Xerox business.
Our level of debt could adversely affect our financial condition and reduce our financial and operational flexibility.
As of December 31, 2025, our total debt was $4.2 billion, which primarily consisted of $2.5 billion of unsecured debt and approximately $1.7 billion of secured borrowings. In February 2026, Xerox Corporation entered into a joint venture arrangement with certain investors including certain funds and accounts managed by Angelo, Gordon & Co., L.P. (collectively, TPG), under which Xerox Corporation contributed certain intellectual property and related assets, including the trademarks in respect of the Xerox brand in exchange for $ 405 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured term loans. Refer to Note 26 – Subsequent Events in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the joint venture arrangement.
Xerox 2025 Annual Report 15
Table of Conten t s
In the future, we may incur additional debt. Our debt could affect our financial and operational flexibility in several ways, including the following:
• a significant portion of our cash flows could be used to service our debt;
• the covenants contained in the agreements governing our outstanding debt may limit our ability to borrow additional funds, dispose of assets, pay dividends, and make certain investments;
• our debt covenants may inhibit our ability to plan for and react to changes in the economy and in our industry;
• our debt covenants may limit our ability to structure investments, dispositions, financings, and other transactions as well as our treasury operations;
• a high level of debt could lead to a decrease in our credit rating, which could result in increased borrowing costs and/or impair our ability to obtain new financing and impact contracting terms with vendors, suppliers, customers service providers, and other third parties;
• a high level of debt would increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;
• a high level of debt may place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that may be less leveraged and therefore may be able to take advantage of opportunities that our debt would prevent us from pursuing; and
• a high level of debt may impair our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, acquisitions, or general corporate or other purposes.
In addition, revolving borrowings under our ABL (as defined below) and the term loans under our TLB (as defined below), and potentially other credit facilities we or our subsidiaries may enter into in the future, may bear interest at variable rates. Increases in market interest rates could lead to higher debt service requirements associated with our variable‑rate borrowings, if any. The effect of inflation on interest rates could increase our financing costs over time, either through near-term borrowings on our ABL and TLB, refinancing of our existing borrowings, or the issuance of new debt.
Moreover, our operations require substantial expenditures on a continuing basis. Our ability to service debt make scheduled debt payments, refinance our obligations with respect to our debt, and fund capital and non‑capital expenditures necessary to maintain the condition of our operating assets and properties, as well as to provide capacity for the continuity and growth of our business, depend on our financial and operating performance. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows to repay our debt when due, we may not be able to pay or refinance such debt at attractive rates or at all.
We need to maintain adequate liquidity in order to meet our operating cash flow requirements, repay maturing debt and meet other financial obligations, such as payment of dividends to the extent declared by our Board of Directors. If we fail to comply with the covenants contained in our various debt agreements, it may adversely affect our liquidity, results of operations, and financial condition.
Our liquidity is a function of our cash on-hand, our ability to successfully generate cash flows from a combination of efficient operations and continuing operating improvements, availability under our $425 million asset-based revolving credit facility (the ABL), access to capital markets and funding from third parties, which includes securitizations and sales of our finance receivables. We believe our liquidity (including operating and other cash flows that we expect to generate) will be sufficient to meet operating requirements as they arise; however, in addition to generating cash flows from our operations, our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity going forward will be subject to the general liquidity of and on-going changes in the credit markets as well as general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory, and other market factors that are beyond our control.
Our ABL, is governed by that certain Credit Agreement dated as of May 22, 2023, by and among Xerox Corporation, as borrower, Xerox Holdings Corporation, certain of Xerox Corporation's subsidiaries, as guarantors, Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders and issuing banks party thereto, as amended, contains a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1x, as defined in the ABL, 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 million and (B) 10% of the Line Cap (the lesser of the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments and the then-applicable Borrowing Base). Both the ABL and our First Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement, dated as of November 17, 2023, by and among Xerox Corporation as borrower, Xerox Holdings Corporation, certain of Xerox Corporation's subsidiaries, as guarantors, with Jefferies Finance LLC as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto, as amended (the TLB), are supported by guarantees from us and certain US, Canadian, English, German and Belgian subsidiaries, and by security interests in substantially all of our and such US, Canadian and English, German and Belgian subsidiaries’ assets, subject to certain exceptions.
The ABL, the TLB and the indentures governing our 13.00% Senior Notes due 2026, 5.50% Senior Notes due 2028, 8.88% Senior Notes due 2029, 13.00% Senior Notes due 2030, 10.25% Senior Notes due 2030, 3.75% Convertible
Xerox 2025 Annual Report 16
Table of Conten t s
Senior Notes due 2030, 13.50% Senior Notes due 2031, 4.80% Senior Notes due 2035, and 6.75% Senior Notes due 2039 and the Secured Promissory Note issued in favor of ITsavvy Holdings, LLC and maturing on January 30, 2026 (the 2026 ITsavvy Note) (collectively, the Notes) also impose operating and financial restrictions on us and may limit our ability to engage in acts that may be in our best interest, including restrictions on our ability to: pay dividends, make other distributions in respect of, or repurchase or redeem capital stock; incur additional debt and guarantee debt; prepay, redeem, or repurchase certain debt; make loans, investments, and other restricted payments; sell or otherwise dispose of assets; incur liens; enter into agreements restricting our subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends; consolidate, merge, or sell all or substantially all of our assets; make strategic acquisitions or investments; or enter into joint ventures.
Failure to comply with material provisions or covenants in the ABL, the TLB, the Notes or our other debt agreements could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, results of operations, and financial condition. A default under certain of our debt agreements may allow our creditors to accelerate the applicable obligations and result in the acceleration of other obligations to which a cross-acceleration or cross-default provision applies. In addition, an event of default under the ABL would permit the lenders thereunder to terminate all commitments to extend credit. Furthermore, if we were unable to repay the amounts due and payable under the ABL, the TLB, the 10.25% Senior Notes due 2030, the 13.50% Senior Notes due 2031, or the 2026 ITsavvy Note, the lenders could proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure the obligations thereunder. If any of our creditors accelerate the repayment of applicable debt, we and our subsidiaries may not have sufficient assets to repay that debt.
Our products and services may be affected by design and manufacturing defects that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Our products and services, or those of our OEM customers in which our products are installed, could be affected by design and manufacturing defects. There can be no assurance we will be able to detect and fix all issues and defects in our products and services, and may have limited ability to respond to those impacting our OEM customers. Failure to do so can result, and in the past has resulted in recalls, product replacements or modifications, and may cause reputational harm, and significant warranty and other expenses, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If our products malfunction or contain errors or defects, we could also be subject to significant liability for personal injury and property damage and, under certain circumstances, could be subject to a judgment for punitive damages. We maintain insurance against accident-related risks involving our products. However, there can be no assurance that such insurance would be sufficient to cover the cost of litigation or damages to others or that such insurance will continue to be available at commercially reasonable rates. In addition, insurance coverage may not cover awards of punitive damages and may not cover the cost of associated legal fees and defense costs, which could result in lower margins. If we are unable to maintain sufficient insurance to cover product liability costs or if our insurance coverage does not cover the award, this could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected by employee benefit-related funding requirements.
We sponsor several defined benefit pension and retiree-health benefit plans throughout the world. We are required to make contributions to these plans to comply with minimum funding requirements imposed by laws governing these employee benefit plans. Although most of our major defined benefit plans have been amended to freeze current benefits and eliminate benefit accruals for future service, several plans remain unfunded (by design) or are under-funded. The projected benefit obligations for these benefit plans at December 31, 2025 exceeded the value of the assets of those plans by approximately $1.0 billion. The current unfunded or underfunded status of these plans is a significant factor in determining the ongoing future contributions we will be required to make to these plans. Accordingly, we expect to have additional funding requirements in future years, and we may make additional, voluntary contributions to the plans. Depending on our cash position at the time, any such funding or contributions to our defined benefit plans could impact our operating flexibility and financial position, including adversely affecting our cash flow for the quarter in which such funding or contributions are made. Weak macroeconomic conditions and related under-performance of asset markets could also lead to increases in our funding requirements.
Our intellectual property rights are valuable, and any inability to protect them could reduce the value of our products, services, and brand.
In developing new technologies and products and maintaining our product portfolio, we rely upon patent, copyright, trademark, and trade secret laws in the United States and similar laws in other countries, and a combination of confidentiality, license, assignment and other agreements with our employees, customers, suppliers and other parties, to establish and maintain our intellectual property rights in technology and products used in our operations.
Xerox 2025 Annual Report 17
Table of Conten t s
However, various events outside of our control may pose a threat to our intellectual property rights, as well as to our products and services. Monitoring and detecting any unauthorized access, use or disclosure of our intellectual property is difficult and costly and we cannot be certain that the protective measures we have implemented will completely prevent misuse. Our ability to enforce our intellectual property rights is subject to litigation risks and uncertainty as to the protection and enforceability of those rights in some countries. If we seek to enforce our intellectual property rights, we may be subject to claims that those rights are invalid or unenforceable, and others may seek counterclaims against us, which could have a negative impact on our business. Effective protection of intellectual property rights is expensive and difficult to maintain, both in terms of application and maintenance costs, as well as the costs of defending and enforcing those rights. Any action against our Company relating to our intellectual property rights, regardless of the outcome, could generate substantial costs and require significant involvement from our management team, which could adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition. If we are unable to enforce and protect intellectual property rights, or if they are circumvented, rendered obsolete, invalidated by the rapid pace of technological change, or stolen or misappropriated by employees or third parties, it could have an adverse impact on our competitive position and business. Changes in intellectual property laws or their interpretation may impact our ability to protect and assert our intellectual property rights, increase costs and uncertainties in the prosecution of patent applications or related enforcement actions, and diminish the value and competitive advantage conferred by our intellectual property assets. Negative publicity generated from intellectual property disputes could also harm our reputation and brand image.
The efforts we have taken to protect our intellectual property rights may not be sufficient or effective, or existing agreements may be breached. It is possible that our intellectual property rights could be infringed, misappropriated, challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, which could allow others to use our intellectual property to our competitive detriment. Further, we routinely apply for patents to protect innovative ideas in our technology, but we may not always be successful in obtaining patent grants from these applications. Certain trademarks, including the "Xerox" brand, are critical to our competitive position, customer recognition, and the marketing of our products and services worldwide. We pursue registration of copyrights, trademarks, and domain names in numerous jurisdictions, but doing so may not always be successful or cost-effective. The scope and cost of maintaining and enforcing a global trademark portfolio this size and significance are substantial, and there can be no assurance that our efforts to register, maintain, and protect our trademarks will be effective in all jurisdictions. The laws of certain countries may not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States and we may be unable to protect our proprietary technology adequately against unauthorized third-party copying or use, which could adversely affect our competitive position. In addition, some of our products rely on technologies developed by third parties. We may not be able to obtain or to continue to obtain licenses and technologies from these third parties at all or on reasonable terms, or such third parties may demand cross-licenses to our intellectual property.
If we fail to accurately anticipate and meet our customers' needs through the development of new products, technologies, and service offerings or if we fail to adequately protect our intellectual property rights, we could lose market share and customers to our competitors, which could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
The Shared Services and License Agreement (the SSLA) entered pursuant to the joint venture arrangement with certain investors including certain funds and accounts managed by Angelo, Gordon & Co., L.P. may be terminated by XRX Brandco LLC upon certain events of default, in which case the Company’s right to use the certain intellectual property, including the “Xerox” brand, would terminate, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. Additionally, with trademark ownership residing in XRX Brandco LLC, our ability to independently enforce our trademark rights or sublicensing may be constrained by the terms of the SSLA, which could limit our flexibility in responding to competitive threats or pursuing business opportunities. Refer to Note 26 – Subsequent Events in the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about the joint venture arrangement.
Failure to meet evolving corporate social responsibility expectations, standards, or goals could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, or stock price.
There has been increased focus from regulators and stakeholders on corporate social responsibility (CSR) matters, including climate-related risks and greenhouse gas emissions, responsible sourcing and supply chain practices, human rights, and corporate governance. CSR-related regulatory requirements continue to expand and evolve globally, including in the European Union under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), in the United States at the federal and state level, and in other jurisdictions where we operate.
The scope, interpretation, timing, and implementation of these laws and regulations remain subject to uncertainty, evolving guidance, and potential legal challenges. Differences among regulatory regimes may increase compliance complexity, require additional systems and controls, and limit comparability across jurisdictions. Compliance,
Xerox 2025 Annual Report 18
Table of Conten t s
particularly with respect to Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions and supply-chain-related requirements, may require the use of estimates, assumptions, and third-party data that may be incomplete, inaccurate, or inconsistent, and may result in increased costs, operational burdens, or enforcement risk. In addition, evolving climate-related regulations and market expectations may expose us to transition risks, including risks related to changes in laws and regulations, customer preferences, technology, and the availability and cost of energy and other inputs.
In 2021, Xerox voluntarily announced its 2040 net zero goal. Achievement of this and other CSR-related goals depends on factors outside our control, including economic conditions, technological developments, regulatory changes, customer preferences, and actions by suppliers and partners. Our strategies, targets, and timelines may evolve over time, and progress may vary from period to period. If we are unable, or are perceived to be unable, to achieve progress toward our environmental goals, or if our products are not viewed as sufficiently energy efficient relative to those of competitors, demand for our products and services may decline, our market share may be reduced, and our reputation may be harmed.
CSR-related disclosures may expose us to increased litigation, regulatory, and enforcement risk, including claims alleging misstatements, omissions, or “greenwashing,” particularly where such disclosures rely on evolving standards, estimates, or third-party information. Even voluntary disclosures may be subject to scrutiny or challenge by investors, regulators, and other stakeholders.
CSR-related initiatives and disclosures may also expose us to political and reputational risks. In the United States, differing views regarding CSR, ESG, and climate-related matters may result in criticism, loss of business, boycotts, restrictions on public-sector contracting, or other adverse impacts, regardless of whether we increase, decrease, or maintain our current level of CSR-related activities or disclosures.
Failure, or perceived failure, to meet evolving CSR expectations or regulatory requirements may harm our reputation, adversely affect our ability to attract and retain customers and talent, increase scrutiny from investors and regulators, and limit access to capital. Damage to our reputation or brand may reduce demand for our products and services, adversely affect our financial results and stock price, and require additional resources to address.
We provide certain CSR and sustainability-related information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and in other voluntary disclosures that may not be considered material under U.S. federal securities laws and may be based on frameworks, methodologies, and definitions of materiality that differ from those applicable to SEC filings. These methodologies, metrics, assumptions, and boundaries may change over time and may differ from those used by other companies, which may limit the usefulness of such disclosures and period-to-period comparability.
Regulatory Risk Factors
The international nature of our business subjects us to a number of risks, including foreign exchange and interest rate risk and unfavorable political, regulatory, and tax conditions in foreign countries.
A significant portion of our revenue is generated from operations outside of the United States, and we manufacture or acquire many of our products and/or their components outside the United States. As a result of the global nature of our operations, our business performance and results of operations may be adversely affected by a number of factors, including:
• uncertain global economic and political developments that may impact business conditions and demands;
• global trade issues including changes in, and uncertainties with respect to, trade and export regulatory requirements, trade policies and sanctions restrictions, tariffs, and international trade disputes;
• evolving positions taken by governmental agencies regarding possible national economic and/or security issues posed by the development, sale, or export of certain products and technologies;
• political instability, natural disasters, regional or global health epidemics, social unrest, terrorism, acts of war or other geopolitical turmoil;
• variations among, and weakness and/or changes in, local, regional, national or international laws and regulations, including contract, intellectual property, data privacy, data protection and cybersecurity, labor, tax, and import/export laws, and the interpretation and application of such laws and regulations;
• challenges to effective management of a diverse workforce with different experience levels, languages, cultures, customs, business practices and worker expectations, and differing employment practices and labor issues across multiple countries around the world;
• impacts of climate change on our operations and those of our customers and suppliers;
• challenges in hiring, retention, and integration of workers in multiple countries around the world; and
• the increasing need for a mobile workforce to work in or travel to different regions.
Xerox 2025 Annual Report 19
Table of Conten t s
If our future revenues, costs, and results of operations are significantly affected by economic or political conditions abroad and we are unable to effectively hedge these risks, they could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Tariffs or other restrictions on foreign imports could negatively impact our financial performance.
Our business, results of operations and financial condition have and may continue to be negatively impacted by such tariffs and any potential increase in the cost of our supplies or end-products as a result of new or incremental trade protection measures, such as increased import tariffs or import or export restrictions or the revocation or material modification of trade agreements. The new U.S. administration has considered and announced potential tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico and China as well as other jurisdictions. Although the ultimate scope and timing of any such tariffs or other measures is indeterminate they could have a significant impact on our financial condition and results of operations. Changes in U.S. and international trade policy and resultant retaliatory countermeasures, including imposition of increased tariffs, quotas, or duties by affected countries and trading partners are difficult to predict and may adversely affect our business.
We operate globally and changes in tax laws could adversely affect our results.
We are subject to income taxes in the United States and foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required to determine and estimate worldwide tax liabilities. Our provision for income taxes and effective tax rates could be affected by numerous factors, including changes in applicable tax laws, interpretations of applicable tax laws, the amount and composition of pre-tax income in jurisdictions with differing tax rates, and valuation of deferred tax assets.
We monitor U.S. and non-U.S. tax law changes that may adversely impact our overall tax costs. From time to time, proposals have been made and/or legislation has been introduced to change tax rates, as well as related tax laws, regulations or interpretations thereof, by various jurisdictions, or to limit tax treaty benefits which, if enacted or implemented could materially increase our tax costs and/or our effective tax rate and could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations. The international tax environment continues to change as a result of both coordinated actions by governments and unilateral measures designed by individual countries, both intended to tackle concerns over base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS) and perceived international tax avoidance techniques. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) is issuing guidelines that are different, in some respects, than long-standing international tax principles. This includes the development of an inclusive framework that is based on a two-pillar approach. In December 2022, the EU Member States formally adopted the EU’s Pillar Two Directive, which generally provides for a global minimum tax rate of at least 15%. Various countries in which we operate in have implemented legislation, effective January 1, 2024.
Based on the currently enacted legislation, we do not expect Pillar Two to have a material impact on our financial statements. However, we will continue to monitor any impact to Xerox as countries continue to amend their tax law to adopt certain parts of the OECD guidelines. Taxation at the country, state, provincial or municipal level also may be subject to review and potential override by regional, federal, national, or other government authorities. In addition, we continue to be subject to examination of our income tax returns by the United States Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities around the world. We currently are, and expect to continue to be, subject to numerous federal, state, local and foreign taxes relating to income, sales & use, value-added (VAT), and other tax liabilities. While we have established reserves based on assumptions and estimates that we believe are reasonably sufficient to cover such liabilities, any adverse outcome of a review or audit, or changes in tax laws, could have an adverse impact on our financial position and results of operations if the reserves prove to be insufficient.
We are subject to breaches of our security systems, cyber-attacks, and service interruptions, which could expose us to liability, litigation, regulatory action and damage our reputation.
We have implemented and maintain security measures and safeguards, which we believe to be reasonable, to protect our information systems and our confidential and sensitive information that we hold, including the personal information of our employees, customers, clients, suppliers and other third parties, against unauthorized access or disclosure and to prevent, detect, contain, respond to, and mitigate security-related threats and potential incidents. We regularly assess and seek to improve the security of our systems, connected devices, and information-sharing products in order to minimize potential vulnerabilities, in accordance with industry and regulatory standards. Despite such efforts, we may be subject to breaches of our security resulting in unauthorized access to our facilities or information systems and the information contained therein or stored thereon. Moreover, our business or operations may be affected in the event our customers, clients and suppliers experience data security incidents, cyber-attacks or extended interruptions of their services or systems. Our operations depend on the use of various information systems, including legacy systems for which patches may not be readily available. Unpatched vulnerabilities in our systems and the utilization of end-of-life systems may expose us to increased cybersecurity risks, including
Xerox 2025 Annual Report 20
Table of Conten t s
unauthorized access, data breaches, and operational disruptions. The absence of vendor support for end-of-life systems may impede our ability to promptly address and remediate security issues, potentially leading to extended downtime, data breaches, and financial losses. Moreover, we may be required to dedicate new or additional resources to maintain the secure operation of legacy systems and/or to respond to vulnerabilities in such systems, which may impact our operations and financial condition. Additionally, the third-party software, or applications we utilize may possess inherent vulnerabilities or design, manufacturing, or operational defects when implemented intentionally or unintentionally in a manner that could compromise the security of our information systems. Increased adoption of remote work has also increased possible attack surfaces on our information systems. The techniques used to obtain unauthorized access are constantly changing, are becoming increasingly sophisticated, including as a result of AI tools, and often are not recognized until after a threat actor has successfully used them to gain unauthorized access to a system. We may be unable to anticipate these techniques or implement sufficient preventative measures, or to timely detect and remediate harms caused by such techniques.
Threat actors regularly attempt and, from time to time, have been successful in breaching our security controls, to gain access to our information and infrastructure through various techniques, including phishing, ransomware, account compromise, and other targeted attacks. The Company has retained and, in the future, may retain third-party experts to assist with the containment of and response to security incidents and, in coordination with law enforcement, with the investigation of such incidents. The Company has incurred, and expects to continue to incur, costs, including to retain such third-party experts, in connection with such incidents. We may also find it necessary to make significant further investments to protect this information and our infrastructure. These investments, and any costs we incur in connection with security incidents, could be material.
While we do not believe any cybersecurity incidents to date have resulted in any material impact on our business, operations or financial results or our ability to service our customers or run our business, incidents resulting in unauthorized access to our facilities or information systems, or those of our suppliers, or accidental loss or disclosure of proprietary or confidential information about us, our clients or our customers could result in, among other things, a total shutdown of our systems that would disrupt our ability to conduct business or pay vendors and employees, violations of applicable privacy and other data protection laws, significant legal and financial exposure, damage to our reputation or brand, and a loss of investor confidence in our security measures. Additional impacts from cybersecurity incidents could include remediation costs to our customers or business partners, such as liability for stolen assets or information, repairs of system damage, and incentives for continued business; increased cybersecurity protection costs, which may include the costs of making organizational changes, deploying additional personnel, resources and security technologies, training employees, and engaging third-party experts and consultants; lost revenue resulting from the unauthorized use of proprietary information or the failure to retain or attract business partners following an incident; increased insurance premiums; and damage to the Company’s competitiveness, stock price, and long-term shareholder value. In addition, cybersecurity risks and data security incidents could lead to unfavorable publicity, governmental inquiry and oversight, regulatory actions by federal, state and non-U.S. governmental authorities, litigation by affected parties and possible financial obligations for damages related to the theft or misuse of such information, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our profitability and cash flow.
We are subject to laws of the United States and foreign jurisdictions relating to the privacy and protection of personal information, and failure to comply with those laws could subject us to legal actions and negatively impact our operations.
We receive, process, transmit and store information relating to identifiable individuals in connection with our products, services and employment operations. As a result, we are subject to numerous and evolving privacy and data protection laws and regulations in the United States (both federal and state) and foreign jurisdictions.
The global regulatory landscape regarding the protection of personal information continues to expand and become increasingly more complex. Federal and state governments in the U.S., as well as foreign governments, have enacted, and continue to consider, enacting new legislation and regulations related to the collection, use, disclosure and security of personal information. We expect to see an increase in, or changes to, these data protection and privacy laws, regulations and standards. For example, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (collectively, CCPA), grants California residents extensive rights over their personal information and imposes detailed requirements on businesses, including related to notice, access, deletion, limits on certain data uses and disclosures, and limitations on the use of sensitive data.
Several other U.S. states have also enacted, and more are considering enacting, similar laws. These laws also create new enforcement mechanisms and the potential for statutory damages in the event of certain violations or data breaches. The lack of harmonization among the existing and proposed laws and regulations results in a growing and often inconsistent regulatory patchwork that may increase compliance costs and operational
Xerox 2025 Annual Report 21
Table of Conten t s
complexity for us and our industry partners, though efforts taken toward compliance with other privacy laws will likely be applicable to many elements of the newly enacted laws and regulations. Although we have attempted to mitigate certain risks posed by these laws, we cannot predict with certainty which jurisdictions may enact new laws, or the effect of these laws and their implementing regulations on our business.
Outside the U.S., data privacy and protection laws governing personal data may have a similar effect on our Company. For example, the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and similar foreign laws, such as the GDPR as assimilated into United Kingdom law (UK GDPR), Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) in Canada, and the General Data Protection Law (LGDP) in Brazil, impose strict requirements on the processing and transfer of personal data and authorize significant penalties for non-compliance. Maintaining compliance with the GDPR and other foreign privacy laws requires that we monitor regulatory and judicial developments and may necessitate changes to our compliance approach, business practices or system configurations. These efforts may demand significant time, resources and expense and may increase our operating costs or limit our ability to operate or expand our business.
Because these laws may be interpreted or applied inconsistently across jurisdictions, or may not align with our existing data management practices or features of our systems and services, we could be required to modify our products or fundamentally change aspects of our operations, which could have an adverse effect on our business. We may be unable to implement such changes in a commercially reasonable manner, or at all, which could limit our ability to develop new products and features. Changes in applicable laws, the introduction of new laws, failure to comply, or increased regulatory or privacy enforcement could result in additional costs, operational changes, monetary damages, fines, reputational harm, restrictions on our ability to process data, or allegations of nonperformance under customer contracts, any of which could materially adversely effect on our profitability and cash flow.
The use or anticipated use of technologies, including generative AI, by us or third parties, may increase or create new regulatory or operational risks.
AI technologies offer numerous potential benefits, such as creating or increasing operational efficiencies, and we expect the use of AI and generative AI by us, third parties on our behalf, and other market actors, including our competitors, to increase. However, the deployment of such technologies also poses certain risks, including that they may be misused, or the models or datasets on which the models are trained may be flawed or otherwise may function in an unexpected manner or lead to unexpected or unintended outcomes. The speed at which it is being adopted and the uncertainty regarding the scope and details of laws, regulations or standards governing its use, combined with the growing interest by various legislatures and regulators to address the development and deployment of AI technologies in a manner which may not be consistent across jurisdictions, increases these risks. Any such misuse or any deficiencies in, or failure of, the models or AI systems could expose us to legal or regulatory risk, damage customer relationships or cause reputational harm. Our competitors may also adopt AI or generative AI more quickly or more effectively than we do, which could cause competitive harm.
We are subject to extensive environmental laws, regulations, and procurement requirements, and failure to comply could result in increased costs, liabilities, or loss of market access.
Our operations and products are subject to a broad and evolving range of international, federal, state, local, and foreign environmental laws, regulations, and procurement initiatives. These requirements address, among other things, climate change and greenhouse gas emissions, chemical usage, product design and energy efficiency, waste management, and product end-of-life responsibilities. Failure to comply with applicable requirements could result in substantial costs, including remediation expenses, fines, civil or criminal penalties, third-party claims, or limitations on our ability to sell products in certain markets.
Increased political and regulatory focus on climate change has led to existing and proposed international agreements and national, state, and foreign initiatives requiring companies to disclose and, in some cases, limit greenhouse gas emissions. Compliance with climate-related laws and regulations, including evolving disclosure, reporting, and procurement requirements, may increase our costs, impose operational constraints, limit product availability, or increase our compliance burden. The ultimate impact of these requirements remains uncertain and may depend on future regulatory developments and interpretations.
Our products and operations are also subject to chemical and materials regulations across the jurisdictions in which we operate, including restrictions on the types and amounts of substances that may be used in electronic equipment and supplies. For example, we are subject to the EU Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulation and the U.S. Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), among other similar regimes. These and comparable programs require significant data collection, supply-chain coordination, testing, and

reporting, and may result in restrictions or bans on certain substances, increased costs, or product redesign requirements.
We are further subject to regulations and customer procurement requirements relating to product energy efficiency, environmental performance, and circular economy objectives, including EU product design and sustainability initiatives and voluntary or mandatory procurement standards such as Energy Star, EPEAT, and EU Green Public Procurement. These requirements are subject to change and may become more stringent over time, which could limit market access or require additional investment if our products do not meet applicable criteria.
Various jurisdictions have adopted, or are expected to adopt, extended producer responsibility (EPR) and similar regimes that impose obligations relating to product and packaging take-back, recycling, reporting, fees, and waste management. If we are unable to meet these requirements in a cost-effective manner, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.
In addition, we are involved in a limited number of environmental proceedings under federal, state, and foreign laws, including matters under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and similar statutes, relating to remediation of contamination at certain sites. Our potential liability in such matters depends on numerous factors, including changes in law, the nature and extent of contamination, and the involvement of third parties.
Regulatory requirements relating to environmental compliance and reporting have also been adopted or expanded in certain jurisdictions, including in the European Union. Compliance with these requirements may increase costs, require additional systems and controls, and expose us to operational, financial, or reputational risk.
Risks Related to our Acquisition of Lexmark
We may be unable to realize the benefits from the Lexmark Acquisition
In July 2025, we completed the acquisition of Lexmark. The combination of independent businesses is a complex, costly, and time-consuming process that requires significant management attention and resources. The integration process may disrupt the affected businesses and, if implemented ineffectively, could limit the expected benefits thereof. The failure to meet the challenges involved in integrating such businesses and to realize the anticipated benefits could cause an interruption of, or loss of momentum in, the activities of the combined company and could adversely affect the results of operations of the combined Company.
Although we expect to realize significant cost-savings and synergies in connection with the Lexmark Acquisition and we also expect to realize significant incremental revenues and other benefits resulting from, among other things, consolidation of our and Lexmark’s businesses, including various functions and systems, no assurance can be given that these anticipated benefits will be realized in whole or in part or on a timeframe that is consistent with our expectations. Although we believe these benefits are achievable, our ability to achieve them in the amounts and on the timeframe expected is subject to various assumptions by our management based on expectations that are subject to costs that could offset all or a portion of such synergies. Failure to timely realize the expected cost-savings from the Lexmark Acquisition could have an adverse effect on our financial results and prospects.
Moreover, our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the Lexmark Acquisition, including anticipated synergies, will depend, to a large extent, on our ability to integrate Lexmark’s business into our existing operations.
Although certain of Lexmark’s operations overlap with our historical operations, Lexmark’s business involves certain activities in which we were not engaged immediately prior to the Lexmark Acquisition, such as print hardware manufacturing. We are exposed to operational, competitive, contractual, regulatory, and other risks associated with Lexmark’s manufacturing activities.
Moreover, Lexmark has significant operations in Asia and other geographies where we currently do not have a significant presence. Any failure in our ability to transition to new geographies or to realize the anticipated benefits of Lexmark’s customer relationships could harm our brand, prospects, operating results, and financial condition, and could have an adverse effect on our business. By virtue of our expansion into new geographies, we will be subject to new political, economic, legal, operational, regulatory and other risks that are inherent in operating in a foreign country, including risks of possible price controls, capital controls, exchange controls, inflation controls, licensing requirements, and other restrictive governmental actions.
Additionally, as of December 31, 2025, approximately 8% of Lexmark’s permanent employees, who were employed in France, Argentina, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Sweden, Finland, Austria and Brazil were covered by collective bargaining agreements, which are generally national or industry-wide agreements. As of December 31, 2025, Lexmark was in the process of registering a labor union for approximately 30 employees located in Shenzhen, China. If we encounter difficulties with renegotiations or renewals of collective bargaining agreements or are
Xerox 2025 Annual Report 23
Table of Conten t s
unsuccessful in those efforts, we could incur additional costs and experience work stoppages. Union actions at suppliers also can affect us. Any delays or work stoppages could adversely affect the ability to perform under contracts, which could negatively impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
In addition, the integration may result in material unanticipated problems, expenses, liabilities, competitive responses, loss of customer and other business relationships, and diversion of management’s attention. The difficulties of combining the operations of the companies include, among others:
• the diversion of management’s attention to integration matters;
• difficulties in achieving anticipated cost savings, synergies, business opportunities and growth prospects from the combination;
• difficulties in integration of operations and systems;
• conforming standards, controls, procedures, and accounting and other policies as well as corporate cultures and compensation structures;
• potential unknown liabilities, adverse consequences, and unforeseen expenses; and
• challenges in attracting and retaining key personnel.
Many of these factors will be outside of our control and any one of these factors could result in increased costs, decreases in the amount of expected revenues, and additional diversion of management’s time and energy, which could materially adversely impact the business, financial condition and results of operations of the combined company. In addition, even if the businesses are integrated successfully, the full benefits thereof, including expected synergies, cost savings, and revenue growth may not be realized. The benefits may not be realized or achieved within the anticipated time frame, or at all. Further, additional unanticipated costs may be incurred in connection with the integration of the businesses. All of these factors could decrease or delay the expected accretive effect of any acquisition, including the Lexmark Acquisition, and negatively impact the combined company’s business, operating results and financial condition. As a result, we cannot provide any assurance that our acquisitions, including the Lexmark Acquisition will result in the realization of the expected benefits thereof.
The amounts of anticipated cost savings and anticipated expenses related thereto are forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws, and are based on our current estimates, but they involve risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those described herein. Assumptions relating to the plans and amounts related thereto involve subjective decisions and judgments with respect to, among other things, the estimated impact of certain operational adjustments, including marketing efficiency, labor management, material input cost fluctuations, transition costs and other cost and savings adjustments, as well as future economic, competitive, industry and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are inherently uncertain and may be beyond the control of our management. Although our management believes these estimates and assumptions to be reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and there can be no assurance that the estimates described herein will prove to be accurate or that the objectives and plans expressed will be achieved. Neither our independent auditor nor any other independent accountant, has examined, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to these amounts, nor have they expressed any opinion, or any other form of assurance, on such information or their achievability.
Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the anticipated cost savings, incremental revenues and other benefits will be realized or that the impact of the efforts to achieve such cost savings, incremental revenues will not be significantly different than currently anticipated. We undertake no obligation to update or otherwise revise or reconcile our expectations regarding its cost savings efforts whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
We incurred a substantial amount of debt in connection with the financing of the Lexmark Acquisition.
The Lexmark Acquisition was financed with a combination of cash on hand and debt, which resulted in an increase in our overall debt. We are required to maintain sufficient liquidity (cash on hand, cash generated by operations and access to the ABL) and/or have access to capital to service and repay such debt when due. If liquidity is not sufficient to service our debt we may be forced to, among other things, reduce or delay capital expenditures, seek additional capital, sell assets, or refinance our debt. Any such action may not be successful, and we may be unable to service such debt. Any of the above risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operation, cash flows and/or stock price.

Risks Related to Ownership of our Common Stock and our Warrants
The trading price for the Warrants may bear little or no relationship to traditional valuation methods, or to the market price of our Common Stock, and therefore the trading price of the Warrants may fluctuate significantly following their issuance.
The trading price of the Warrants may have little or no relationship to, and may be significantly lower, or at times higher, than the price that would otherwise be established using traditional indicators of value, such as our future prospects and those of our industry in general; future potential revenues, earnings, cash flows, and other financial and operating information, or multiples thereof; market prices of securities and other financial and operating information of companies similar to ours; and the views of research analysts. Potential investors should not buy Warrants in the open market unless they are willing to take the risk that the trading price of the Warrants could fluctuate and decline significantly.
Hedging arrangements relating to the Warrants may affect the value and volatility of our Common Stock.
In order to hedge their financial positions, a warrant holders may enter into hedging transactions with respect to our Common Stock, may unwind or adjust hedging transactions and may purchase or sell large blocks of our Common Stock in one or more market transactions. The effect, if any, of these activities on the trading price of our Common Stock will depend in part on market conditions and cannot be known in advance, but any of these activities could adversely affect the value and price volatility of our Common Stock.
The issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise of the Warrants may depress our stock price.
We could issue up to 82,463,860 shares of Common Stock in connection with the exercise of the Warrants, which would collectively be an approximately 64% increase from our current number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. The issuance of such additional shares of Common Stock and the resale of such shares on the open market after their issuance, or the perception that such sales could occur, could result in significant downward pressure on the price of our shares of Common Stock. Further, any increase in the number of shares underlying each Warrant may result in further downward pressure on the price of our shares of Common Stock.
Future issuances of additional warrants may adversely affect the market price of the Warrants and the market price of our Common Stock, but there may be no adjustment to the Warrant Exercise Rate for such issuances.
Without the consent of any Warrant holder, we may issue additional warrants with the same or different terms as the Warrants. We may issue such additional warrants through a sale or other distribution to holders of our Common Stock and other holders of our securities. Any issuance, sale or distribution by us of any rights, options or warrants to purchase our Common Stock will not result in an adjustment to the Warrant Exercise Rate for any Warrant. The issuance, sale or distribution of substantial amounts of such additional warrants, or the perception that such issuances, sales or distributions may occur, could adversely affect the trading price of the Warrants and the market price of our Common Stock.
The market price for our Common Stock may be volatile and subject to future declines, and the value of an investment in our Common Stock and corresponding derivative securities may decline.
The market price of our shares of Common Stock may be volatile. Fluctuations in our stock price may be unrelated to or not otherwise reflect our historical financial performance and condition and prospects. The stock market in general can experience considerable price and volume fluctuations due to changes in general economic conditions or other factors beyond our control, which could impact the future market price of our shares of Common Stock. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock and, in turn, the value of the Warrants. We cannot assure you that the market price of our shares of Common Stock will not be volatile or decline significantly in the future.
General Risk Factors
Our business, results of operations and financial condition may be negatively impacted by legal and regulatory matters.
We have various contingent liabilities that are not reflected on our balance sheet, including those arising as a result of being involved in a variety of claims, lawsuits, investigations, and proceedings including as discussed in Note 20 - Contingencies and Litigation in the Consolidated Financial Statements. 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 materially increase an existing accrual, or should any of these matters result in a final adverse judgment or be settled for significant amounts above any existing accruals, it could have a material adverse effect
Xerox 2025 Annual Report 25
Table of Conten t s
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.
Due to the international scope of our operations, we are subject to a complex system of commercial and trade regulations around the world. With respect to the war in Ukraine, in 2022, we halted shipments to Russia and Belarus when sanctions were imposed, and we completed the sale of all Russian operations in 2023. Recent years have seen an increase in the development and enforcement of laws regarding trade compliance and anti-corruption, such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar laws from other countries. Our numerous foreign subsidiaries, affiliates and joint venture partners are governed by laws, rules and business practices that differ from those of the U.S. The activities of these entities may not comply with U.S. or foreign laws or business practices or our Code of Business Conduct. Violations of these laws may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, could disrupt our business, and result in an adverse effect on our reputation, business and results of operations or financial condition. We cannot predict the nature, scope or effect of future regulatory requirements to which our operations might be subject, our compliance with such requirements, or the manner in which existing laws might be administered or interpreted.
Our failure to maintain an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting, could adversely affect our ability to accurately report our results.
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our 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 in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in our internal control over financial reporting that results in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and deter and detect any material fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent material fraud, our reputation and operating results would be harmed. We maintained effective internal control over financial reporting (ICFR) as of December 31, 2025, as further described in Part II “Item 9A - Controls and Procedures.” Our efforts to develop and maintain our internal controls and, if applicable, to remediate any material weaknesses in our controls may not be successful, and we may be unable to maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future, including future compliance with the obligations under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Any failure to develop or maintain effective controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, including those related to acquired businesses, or other effective improvement of our internal controls could harm our operating results, including those related to acquired businesses or reliance on third-party service providers for the execution of key financial, operational, and compliance controls could harm our operating results. Ineffective internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information.
In connection with the preparation of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, an error in the preliminary purchase price allocation related to the Lexmark Acquisition was identified, including the classification of certain acquired assets and liabilities assumed. The error reflected information and analysis associated with facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and resulted in an adjustment to previously reported amounts. We corrected the error in our Consolidated Financial Statements, as discussed further in Note 6 – Acquisitions and Divestitures in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
As disclosed in Part II, Item 9A – Controls and Procedures – Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting (ICFR), the management of Xerox Holdings Corporation elected to exclude Lexmark from its ICFR assessment as of December 31, 2025, as Lexmark was acquired by the Company during the third quarter of 2025. As it relates to this error, management evaluated the error, the design, and the operating effectiveness of the related controls, and concluded that the error was limited to the accounting for contract assets and contract liabilities, specifically related to the implementation of and transition to a new general ledger prior to the acquisition.
Accordingly, management concluded that its ICFR remained effective as of December 31, 2025, and that the error did not result from a material weakness. In reaching this conclusion, management considered the nature of the error, the controls in place over business combination accounting, and the fact that the error was identified through the operation of those controls.
If additional information becomes available during the measurement period, which concludes on June 30, 2026, or if similar errors are identified in future acquisitions or complex transactions, the Company may be required to record further adjustments or revise previously issued financial information. Any such adjustments, revisions, regulatory inquiries, or investor concerns could adversely affect our reputation, increase our compliance costs, and have a negative impact on the market price of our common stock.

Risk Management Strategy
Xerox Holdings maintains a cyber risk management program designed to identify, assess, manage, mitigate, and respond to cybersecurity threats. This program is integrated within the Company’s enterprise risk management program and addresses both the corporate information technology environment and customer-facing products and services. The underlying controls of the cyber risk management program are based on recognized leading practices and standards for cybersecurity and information technology, including the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 27001 Information Security Management System Requirements.
The Company's risk management program is primarily focused on safeguarding the organization's digital assets, ensuring continuous business operations, and minimizing the potential impact of cyber threats on the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of our systems and data. The structured risk management process is designed to comprehensively identify and assess risks, implement effective mitigation and remediation strategies, enhance overall cybersecurity resilience, and provide transparent reporting. Continuous risk assessments are conducted through internal evaluations and routine engagements with independent third-party security services organizations to systematically identify, prioritize and manage information security risks . Subsequently, risk mitigation strategies are developed and executed to address and remediate identified risks effectively through new cybersecurity initiatives and ongoing enhancements to the cybersecurity program. Regular audits and assessments, including penetration tests and attack simulations, are performed both internally and through independent third-party consultants, and internal auditors evaluate the operational effectiveness of cybersecurity controls and risk management measures. These inputs form the basis of a risk register that is integrated into the overall enterprise risk management program to further inform the Company's strategy assessing the likelihood, impact, and velocity of these risks on a forward-looking, multi-year mitigated basis. A formal process exists grounded in the enterprise risk management program where material risks, interdependencies, and the associated remediation plans that are tracked to completion at a minimum on a monthly basis are presented and discussed cross-functionally. In addition to the normal discourse on emerging risks, a focused drill down into cybersecurity risk is presented at least annually at the enterprise risk steering committee meeting.
All employees and contractors play an important role in protecting the organization from cyber threats. We have implemented a formal cybersecurity training and awareness program that includes mandatory annual information security training and continuous education through various enterprise collaboration platforms. Our Cyber Defense team plays an important role in implementing our protection, detection, and response capabilities. Security incidents are evaluated, ranked by severity and prioritized for response and remediation. Our incident response process outlines actions required to triage, analyze, contain, remediate, and safely recover from cybersecurity incidents. Our incident response program ensures management is informed and involved in monitoring and addressing security and privacy incidents. The program uses a coordinated escalation model to engage relevant management and Board members as needed. It includes regular training and simulations for preparedness, with periodic updates to the Board on the program’s status and significant incidents, ensuring robust oversight and governance. Security incidents are evaluated to determine materiality as well as operational and business impacts and are reviewed for privacy impacts.
Xerox Holdings has established a structured third-party risk management program, with a primary focus on assessing and mitigating potential cyber risks linked to external vendors and partners who have access to the organization's digital assets or play a role in storing and processing data. This also extends to the software supply chain supporting our products and services. A thorough due diligence process is conducted on all prospective third parties to evaluate their overall security posture and alignment with Xerox Holdings' organizational standards. Additionally, ongoing assessments are regularly conducted on selected existing vendors and partners to confirm their continuous compliance with Xerox Holdings' cybersecurity and data privacy standards and policies. Where applicable, we also include security and data privacy addendums in our third-party contracts. Xerox Holdings also
Xerox 2025 Annual Report 27
Table of Conten t s
engages with external managed security service providers to support certain day-to-day operational activities in addition to in-house cybersecurity staff as part of the cybersecurity program.
To date, no cybersecurity incident has resulted in any material impact on our business, operations or financial results or our ability to service our customers or run our business. We maintain insurance coverage designed to mitigate our exposure to network security and privacy matters.
Refer to Item 1A Risk Factors for additional discussion of risks associated with cybersecurity threats to the Company.
Governance
Xerox Holdings' Cybersecurity organization is a global organization and is dedicated to protecting its infrastructure, information, and digital assets. It is responsible for establishing appropriate security policies, safeguards and controls to prevent, detect and respond to cyber threats, meet regulatory and compliance requirements, secure Xerox Holdings' intellectual property, products and services, and supply chain in collaboration with business, product, and IT partners. The information security organization is led by the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) who reports to the President and Chief Operating Officer (COO). With more than twenty years of experience in security, the CISO began his security career serving in the United States Marine Corps (USMC), leading physical security and executive protection for Marine One. He subsequently led cybersecurity programs for U.S. Cyber Command and the Pentagon, advised Fortune 500 clients on cybersecurity and crisis response matters as an Advisory Director at PwC, and has held positions as CISO or Deputy CISO for public and private companies. The CISO has a Master of Business Administration (MBA), and is a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) and Certified Information Security Manager (CISM). He has extensive experience in multiple security domains, including security operations, incident detection and response, security architecture, identity and access management, cloud security, vulnerability and threat management, application/product security, policy, and compliance.
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors provides governance and oversight of the cybersecurity program and approves the information security program annually. Regular updates are presented to the Audit Committee by the CISO on the current state of the cybersecurity program, providing transparency concerning progress on initiatives, operational and compliance metrics, risks, cybersecurity and data privacy incidents (if any), and appropriate remediation actions. The outcomes of these cross-functional risk discussions noted above are submitted quarterly to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors also considers cybersecurity topics on an ad hoc basis where appropriate, including for purposes of receiving briefings on developments in cybersecurity or cybersecurity incidents and assessing and managing potentially material risks arising from cybersecurity threats. There are two committees comprised of Company leadership, including the enterprise risk management steering committee, which meets monthly, and the Xerox Holdings management audit committee, which meets at least quarterly, to discuss the current operational and security compliance metrics, cybersecurity incidents, and risks.

Item 2. Properties
We own or lease several manufacturing, engineering and research facilities, with principal locations in Colorado, India, Kentucky, New York, Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, and the Philippines. These facilities are primarily used by the Print and Other segment. Our Corporate Headquarters is a leased facility located in Norwalk, Connecticut.
In 2025, we owned or leased facilities globally which include general offices, sales offices, service locations, data centers, call centers, manufacturing facilities, warehouses and distribution centers. Additionally, we acquired Lexmark International II, LLC (Lexmark), which increased our property portfolio by approximately 3.4 million square feet, and is comprised of 3 owned properties, and 53 leased facilities.
The size of our property portfolio at December 31, 2025 was approximately 12.1 million square feet, which was comprised of 284 leased facilities and 8 owned properties with 52 buildings (of which 45 are located on our Webster, New York campus). We occupied approximately 10.3 million square feet, 1.6 million square feet were surplus, and approximately 190 thousand square feet was sublet to third parties. It is our opinion that our properties have been well maintained, are in sound operating condition and contain all the necessary equipment and facilities to perform their functions.
Our properties are primarily managed by, and are in support of, the Print and Other segment. The IT Solutions segment includes a dedicated property portfolio of approximately 73 thousand square feet, which is comprised of 6 leased facilities, in addition to shared space with the Print and Other segment, for which the IT Solutions segment is allocated occupancy costs.
We believe that our current facilities are suitable and adequate for our current businesses.

Throughout the Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) that follows, 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,” or 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.
Xerox Holdings' primary direct operating subsidiary is Xerox and Xerox reflects nearly all of Xerox Holdings' operations. Accordingly, the following MD&A primarily focuses on the operations of Xerox and is intended to help the reader understand Xerox's business and its results of operations and financial condition. Throughout this combined Form 10-K, references are made to various notes in the Consolidated Financial Statements which appear in Part II, Item 8 of this combined Form 10-K, and the information contained in such notes is incorporated by reference into the MD&A in the places where such references are made.
Xerox Holdings' other direct subsidiary is 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. 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 primarily equity or equity-linked and for less than 20% ownership. At December 31, 2025 and 2024 Xerox's investment in Myriad was $41 million and $40 million, respectively. The following discussion includes the results of Xerox Ventures LLC as they are immaterial to earnings and the balance sheet, and for ease of discussion.
Our results include Lexmark International II, LLC (Lexmark) from July 1, 2025, the effective date of the acquisition (the Lexmark Acquisition), as well as the results of ITsavvy LLC (ITsavvy), acquired on November 20, 2024. In order to provide a clearer comparison of our results to the prior year, we are also providing a discussion and analysis on a pro forma basis. See the “ Pro Forma Basis ” section below for further explanation and discussion of pro forma results. In addition, the following discussion includes references to "legacy Xerox", which reflects the financial results of Xerox, excluding the impact of the Lexmark Acquisition and ITsavvy, as applicable.
Executive Overview
2025 was a pivotal year for Reinvention, which is a multi-year strategy designed to transform the way Xerox operates. Its objectives are to strengthen our core business and improve financial flexibility enabling investments in solutions, initiatives, and capabilities that will position Xerox to gain share in existing markets and mix shift into higher growth verticals beyond print, delivering long-term, sustainable growth in revenue and profits. Total revenue for full year 2025 of $7.0 billion increased 12.9% reflecting a 15.5-percentage point benefit and 6.5-percentage point benefit from the Lexmark Acquisition and ITsavvy, respectively, as well as a 0.7-percentage point benefit from currency. On a pro forma 1 basis total revenue declined 7.6%.

Recent Changes and Developments
Acquisitions
On July 1, 2025, Xerox Corporation completed the acquisition of Lexmark International II, LLC (Lexmark) (the Lexmark Acquisition). The addition of Lexmark is intended to enhance Xerox's operational resilience and cost structure. Expected benefits include increased presence in the A4 color segment, entry into the APAC print market, potential reductions in product and tariff-related costs through the use of Lexmark’s manufacturing footprint, improved supply chain flexibility, and the ability to leverage Lexmark’s global capability centers and IT infrastructure to support customer satisfaction and operational efficiency. The combined company also offers a wider portfolio of offerings and services to Lexmark’s large customer base. During the year we also completed the integration of ITsavvy, forming our new Xerox IT Solutions organization (IT Solutions). IT Solutions meaningfully expands Xerox’s reach of the typical IT budget by providing additional offerings as well as opportunities that strengthen our relationship with existing clients. In 2025, growth of the IT Solutions business was driven primarily by ITsavvy as well as client demand for integrated infrastructure, cloud, security, and automation solutions.

Segments
During the first quarter of 2025, the Company updated its determination of reportable segments to align with a change in how the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), our Chief Executive Officer (CEO), allocates resources and assesses performance against the Company’s key growth and Reinvention strategies. As such, it was determined that there are two reportable segments - Print and Other, and IT Solutions. Prior to this change, the Company had two reportable segments - Print and Other, and Xerox Financial Services (XFS). As a result of this change, prior period reportable segment results and related disclosures have been conformed to reflect the Company’s current reportable segments. As noted above, Lexmark was acquired during the third quarter of 2025. The results of Lexmark are included in the Print and Other segment. Refer to Note 4 - Segment and Geographic Area Reporting in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding this change.
Our Reinvention efforts are focused on Operational Simplification, and Commercial Optimization and Growth. During 2025, we made significant progress across each priority.
• Operational Simplification
– Achieved cumulative run-rate gross cost savings of more than $500 million through year-end 2025, including Integration savings

Headquartered in Norwalk, Connecticut, with approximately 22,900 employees, Xerox serves customers globally in North America, Europe, Latin America, Brazil, APAC, the Middle East, Africa and India. We have a broad and diverse base of customers by both geography and industry, ranging from small and mid-sized clients to printing production companies, governmental entities, educational institutions and Fortune 1000 corporations. Our business does not depend upon a single customer, or a few customers. The loss of a single customer would not have a material adverse effect on our business. In 2025, approximately 43% of our revenue was generated outside the United States.
Post Sale Based Business Model
In 2025, 79% of our total revenue was post-sale-based and is comprised, in part, of managed print services 1 , supplies and financing. These revenue streams generally follow equipment placements and provide stability to our revenue and cash flows. Key indicators of future post sale revenue include installs of printers and multifunction devices, the number and type of machines in the field (MIF), page volumes, revenue per page, and the type and nature of related software and ancillary services provided to customers. Post sale revenue also includes revenues from IT Solutions, comprised of IT hardware and associated services revenues, Digital services, as well as gains, commissions, and servicing revenue associated with the sale of finance receivables.

Net (loss) for 2025 was $(1,029) million and improved by $292 million as compared to the 2024 Net (loss) of $(1,321) million. Net (loss) for 2024 reflects an after-tax Goodwill impairment charge of $1,015 million ($1,058 million pre-tax). Net (Loss) for 2025 includes the results of ITsavvy and the Lexmark Acquisition from July 1, 2025, and primarily reflects higher Income tax expense, as a result of the establishment of valuation allowances of $537 million against certain deferred tax assets to reflect their realizability. The change also reflected lower gross profit, and higher Other expenses, net, Selling, administrative and general expenses, RD&E and Amortization of intangible assets. These negative impacts were partially offset by higher revenues, as well as lower Divestitures, as the prior year included the divestiture of certain direct business operations in Latin America, and lower Restructuring and related costs, net.
Adjusted 2 net (loss) for 2025 includes the results of ITsavvy and the Lexmark Acquisition from July 1, 2025 and was $(62) million as compared to adjusted 2 net income for 2024 of $135 million. Adjusted 2 net (loss) increased $197 million primarily reflecting higher Other expenses, net, as well as higher Selling, administrative and general expenses, lower gross profit, higher RD&E, higher Income tax expense. These negative impacts were partially offset by higher revenues.

Cash from operating activities was $224 million in 2025 as compared to $511 million in 2024. The decrease of $287 million was primarily related to lower net proceeds from the on-going sales of finance receivables under the finance receivables funding agreements, the impacts of one-time cash costs related to the Lexmark Acquisition and higher pension contributions, all of which were partially offset by the timing of working capital 1 , lower finance receivable originations, lower payments for accrued compensation, and lower payments for restructuring.
Cash used in investing activities was $698 million in 2025 as compared to $198 million in 2024. 2025 primarily reflected the Lexmark Acquisition of $676 million, net of cash acquired, as well as capital expenditures of $91 million, and the investment in a noncontrolling interest of $13 million, all of which were partially offset by $53 million related to the sales of land and three surplus facilities, $6 million related to lower payments for finance leases, $11 million from divestitures, and $7 million from the sale of patents.
Cash provided by financing activities was $404 million in 2025 as compared to cash used by financing activities of $271 million in 2024. 2025 primarily reflected proceeds from the issuance of our First Lien Senior Secured Notes of $400 million (First Lien Notes), the issuance of our Second Lien Senior Secured Notes of $500 million (Second Lien Notes), the issuance of $250 million of our Senior Notes due July 2030 (the 2030 Notes), the issuance of our $125 million Senior Unsecured Notes due June 2026 (the 2026 Notes), and $4 million from the Term Loan B Facility (the TLB), all of which was partially offset by deferred debt issuance costs of $44 million and discounts of $35 million. Payments on debt reflected $388 million on the 5.00% Senior Notes due in August 2025, $144 million on the TLB, $110 million on secured promissory notes and $72 million on secured financing arrangements. Dividend payments were $71 million and other financing, net was $29 million, reflecting $22 million for payments of financing commitment fees related to the Lexmark Acquisition, $6 million related to the settlement of stock-based compensation and $10 million related to finance leases, all of which was offset by $11 million for the issuance of warrants in connection with the issuance of the 2030 Notes.

Currency Impact
To understand the trends in the business, we believe that it is helpful to analyze the impact of changes in the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. Dollars on revenue and expenses. We refer to this analysis as "constant currency", “currency impact” or “the impact from currency.” This impact is calculated by translating current period activity in local currency using the comparable prior year period's currency translation rate. This impact is calculated for all countries where the functional currency is the local country currency. We do not hedge the translation effect of revenues or expenses denominated in currencies where the local currency is the functional currency. Management believes the constant currency measure provides investors an additional perspective on revenue trends. Currency impact can be determined as the difference between actual growth rates and constant currency growth rates.
Approximately 43% of our consolidated revenues during 2025 and 2024, respectively, are derived from operations outside of the U.S. where the U.S. Dollar is normally not the functional currency. As a result, foreign currency translation had a 0.7-percentage point benefit on revenue in 2025 and a 0.2-percentage point adverse impact on revenue in 2024.
Critical Accounting Estimates
In preparing our Consolidated Financial Statements and accounting for the underlying transactions and balances, we apply various accounting policies. Senior management has discussed the development and selection of the critical accounting policies, estimates and related disclosures included herein with the Audit Committee of the Xerox Holdings Board of Directors. We consider the policies discussed below as critical to understanding our Consolidated Financial Statements, as their application places the most significant demands on management's judgment, since financial reporting results rely on estimates of the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. In instances where different estimates could have reasonably been used, we disclosed the impact of these different estimates on our operations. In certain instances, such as revenue recognition for leases, the accounting rules are prescriptive; therefore, it would not have been possible to reasonably use different estimates. Changes in assumptions and estimates are reflected in the period in which they occur. The impact of such changes could be material to our results of operations and financial condition in any quarterly or annual period.
Specific risks associated with these critical accounting estimates are discussed throughout the MD&A, where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. For a detailed discussion of the application of these and other accounting policies, refer to Note 2 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Revenue Recognition
Application of the various accounting principles in GAAP related to the measurement and recognition of revenue requires us to make judgments and estimates including ASC Topic 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers and ASC Topic 842 Leases . Refer to Note 2 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our revenue recognition and lease revenue recognition policies . Complex arrangements with nonstandard terms and conditions may require significant contract interpretation to determine the appropriate accounting. Specifically, the revenue related to the following areas involves significant judgments and estimates:
Bundled Lease Arrangements : We sell our equipment direct to end customers under bundled lease arrangements, which typically include the equipment, service, supplies and a financing component for which 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 component for page volumes in excess of the contractual page volume minimums, which are often expressed in terms of price-per-image or page. In certain arrangements, some elements, such as supplies, may be separately contracted and billed, while the remaining components are billed through a negotiated fixed monthly payment. Lease deliverables include equipment and financing, while the non-lease deliverables generally consist of supplies and services. Sales made under bundled lease arrangements directly to end customers comprise 31% or $454 million of our equipment sales revenue. Revenues under these bundled lease arrangements are allocated considering the relative standalone selling prices of the lease and non-lease deliverables included in the bundled arrangement. The allocation of revenue among the elements – equipment versus post sale (service, supplies and financing) – has remained fairly consistent.
Sales to Distributors and Resellers : We utilize distributors and resellers to sell many of our products, supplies and parts to end-user customers. Sales to distributors and resellers are generally recognized as revenue when products are shipped to such distributors and resellers. Distributors and resellers participate in various discount, rebate, price-support, cooperative marketing and other programs, and we record provisions and allowances for these programs as a reduction to revenue when the sales occur. Similarly, we also record estimates for sales returns and
Xerox 2025 Annual Report 36
Table of Conten t s
other discounts and allowances when the sales occur. We consider various factors, including a review of specific transactions and programs, historical experience and market and economic conditions when calculating these provisions and allowances. Total sales of equipment, supplies and parts to distributors and resellers were $1,249 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and provisions, and allowances recorded on these sales were approximately 35% of the associated gross revenues.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Credit Losses
The allowance for doubtful accounts and credit losses is based on an assessment of historical collection experience as well as consideration of current and future economic conditions and changes in our customer-specific collection trends. Our methodology includes an expected loss model that incorporates an assessment of current and future economic conditions.
We recorded bad debt provisions of $39 million, $42 million and $28 million in Selling, administrative and general (SAG) expenses in our Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income for the three years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The reserves, as a percentage of trade and finance receivables, were 4.5% at December 31, 2025, as compared to 4.7% and 4.4% at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We continue to assess our receivables portfolio in light of the current macroeconomic environment and its impact on our estimation of the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts.
During the five-year period ended December 31, 2025, our reserve for doubtful accounts ranged from 4.1% to 4.7% of gross receivables. Holding all assumptions constant, a 0.5-percentage point increase or decrease in the reserve from the December 31, 2025 rate of 4.5% would change the 2025 provision by approximately $13 million.
Refer to Note 2 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Note 7 - Accounts Receivable, Net and Note 8 - Finance Receivables, Net in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our policy with respect to the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Credit Losses.
Pension Plan Assumptions
We sponsor defined benefit pension plans in various forms in several countries covering employees who meet eligibility requirements. 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 legacy Xerox and Lexmark U.S. defined benefit plans, the Canadian Salary Pension Plan and the U.K. Final Salary 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 past service. Our pension plan in the Netherlands for past service is a Collective Defined Contribution (CDC) plan with future service benefits provided in a defined contribution plan for 2023 and later years. From a Company risk perspective, this CDC plan operates just like a defined contribution plan as the Company was only responsible for a contribution for annual benefit accruals under 5-year agreements through 2022. Although the Company risk has been mitigated, under U.S. GAAP this CDC plan does not meet the definition of a defined contribution plan and therefore is accounted for as a defined benefit plan. 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. The insurance buy-in contract is a group annuity contract that is 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 arrangement further mitigates the Company's risk associated with these obligations.
Several statistical and other factors that attempt to anticipate future events are used in calculating the expense, liability and to project asset values related to our defined benefit pension plans. These factors include assumptions we make about the expected return on plan assets, discount rate, lump-sum settlement rates, the rate of future compensation increases and mortality. Differences between these assumptions and actual experiences are reported as net actuarial gains and losses and are subject to amortization to net periodic benefit cost over future periods.
Cumulative net actuarial losses for our defined benefit pension plans of $2.0 billion as of December 31, 2025 decreased by $121 million from December 31, 2024, primarily due to gains from actual returns, and amortization of actuarial losses as well as the impact of higher discount rates in the U.K. and the resultant change to the projected benefit obligation (PBO), partially offset by the adverse impact of currency. The total actuarial loss at December 31, 2025 is subject to offsetting gains or losses in the future due to both changes in actuarial assumptions and future experience and will be recognized in future periods through amortization or settlement losses.
We used a consolidated weighted average expected rate of return on plan assets of 5.6% for 2025, 5.2% for 2024 and 5.2% for 2023, on a worldwide basis. During 2025, the actual return on plan assets was $398 million as compared to an expected return of $320 million, primarily reflecting higher than expected returns on equity investments. When estimating the 2026 expected rate of return, in addition to assessing recent performance, we
Xerox 2025 Annual Report 37
Table of Conten t s
considered the historical returns earned on plan assets, the rates of return expected in the future, particularly in light of current economic conditions, and our investment strategy and mix with respect to the plans' assets. The weighted average expected rate of return on plan assets we will use in 2026 is 5.7% which is 0.1% higher as compared to 2025, as a result of the increase in yields on fixed income investments.
Another significant assumption affecting our defined benefit pension obligations and the net periodic benefit cost is the rate that we use to discount our future anticipated benefit obligations. In the U.S. and the U.K., which comprise approximately 70% of our PBO, we consider yield curves derived from Moody's Aa or better rated Corporate Bonds and U.K. Corporate bonds rated AA by at least one of the main ratings agencies, respectively, in the determination of the appropriate discount rate assumptions. The consolidated weighted average discount rate we used to measure our pension obligations as of December 31, 2025 and to calculate our 2026 expense was 5.0%; the consolidated weighted average discount rate we used to calculate our obligations as of December 31, 2024 and our 2025 expense was 4.9%.
Holding all other assumptions constant, the following table summarizes the estimated impacts of a 0.25% change in the discount rate and a 0.25% change in the expected return on plan assets:
Discount Rate Expected Return
(in millions) 0.25% Increase 0.25% Decrease 0.25% Increase 0.25% Decrease
(Decrease)/Increase
2026 Projected net periodic pension cost
$ (1) $ 1 $ (15) $ 15
Projected benefit obligation as of December 31, 2025
$ (170) $ 180 N/A N/A
One of the most significant elements of our net periodic defined benefit pension plan expense was settlement losses. Our primary domestic plans allow participants the option of settling their vested benefits through the receipt of a lump-sum payment. We recognize the losses associated with these settlements 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 a participants' vested benefits. Settlement accounting is only applied when the event of settlement occurs - i.e., the lump-sum payment is made. Since settlement is dependent on an employee's decision and election, the level of settlements and the associated losses can fluctuate significantly from period to period. During 2024, lump-sums under the legacy Xerox U.S. primary domestic plans became limited to less than the full benefit obligation, and as a result, settlement expense for 2025 and 2024 was less than historic levels. During the three years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, U.S. plan settlements were approximately $5 million, $20 million and $70 million, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2025, there was no associated settlement losses on those plan settlements. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 the associated settlement losses on those plan settlements was $5 million and $19 million, respectively. Settlements for the year ended December 31, 2025 only reflected settlements related to the legacy Lexmark U.S. primary domestic plans.
The following is a summary of our benefit plan expenses for the three years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, as well as estimated amounts for 2026:

Approximately $89 million of the U.S. pension contributions in 2025 were for our tax-qualified defined benefit plans. Approximately $95 million of estimated U.S. pension contributions for 2026 are for our tax-qualified defined benefit plans. However, once the next actuarial valuations and projected results are available, actual contributions required to meet minimum funding requirements will be determined and finalized and may change from the current estimate.
Refer to Note 18 - Employee Benefit Plans in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding defined benefit pension plan assumptions, expense and funding.
Income Taxes
We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgments are required in determining the consolidated provision for income taxes. Our provision is based on nonrecurring events as well as recurring factors, including the taxation of foreign income. In addition, our provision will change based on discrete or other nonrecurring events such as audit settlements, tax law changes, changes in valuation allowances, etc., that may not be predictable.
We record the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and the amounts reported in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, as well as 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 consider historical profitability, projected future taxable income, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and tax planning strategies. Refer to Note 19 - Income and Other Taxes in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets.
Due to a change in certain tax planning strategies during the first quarter 2025 and lower than expected actual and estimated full year results as of the third quarter 2025, we concluded that certain deferred tax assets in the U.S. are not more-likely-than-not to be realized. This assessment was based on the available positive and negative evidence, including scheduling of deferred tax liabilities and projected income from operating activities. Accordingly, a valuation allowance of approximately $59 million and $478 million was recorded in the first quarter 2025 and the third quarter 2025, respectively. The amount of the net deferred tax assets considered realizable, however, could change in the near term if additional objective information becomes available in the future including if 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.
In the event we were to determine that there is a change in the realizability of our deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would be recorded to income in the period such determination was made.
Our valuation allowance changed through income tax expense by approximately $618 million, $195 million and $(4) million for the three years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. There were other changes to our valuation allowance of $804 million, $(59) million and $13 million for the three years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, including the effects of currency. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the valuation allowance was also impacted by the Lexmark Acquisition. These impacts did not affect income tax expense.

The following is a summary of gross deferred tax assets and the related valuation allowances:
Year Ended December 31,
(in millions) 2025 2024 2023
Gross deferred tax assets $ 2,242 $ 1,213 $ 1,267
Valuation allowance (1,933) (511) (375)
Net deferred tax assets $ 309 $ 702 $ 892
We are subject to ongoing tax examinations and assessments in various jurisdictions. Accordingly, we may incur additional tax expense based upon our assessment of the more-likely-than-not outcomes of such matters. In addition, when applicable, we adjust the previously recorded tax expense to reflect examination results. Our ongoing assessments of the more-likely-than-not outcomes of the examinations and related tax positions require judgment and can materially increase or decrease our effective tax rate, as well as impact our operating results. Unrecognized tax benefits were $35 million, $95 million and $140 million at December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Refer to Note 19 - Income and Other Taxes in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding deferred income taxes and unrecognized tax benefits.
Business Combinations and Goodwill
We allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to tangible assets, liabilities assumed, and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is allocated to Goodwill. The allocation of the purchase consideration requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. These estimates can include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows of acquired customers, development of new offerings, acquired technology and trade names from a market participant perspective, as well as estimates of useful lives and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable and when appropriate, include assistance from independent third-party valuation firms.
In connection with the acquisition of Lexmark, management used estimates and assumptions to determine the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. These estimates are inherently uncertain and involve significant judgment about future events and circumstances. Accordingly, actual results may differ from these estimates. The most significant assumptions and estimates used in the valuation process included projected annual revenues which were derived from estimates of customer attrition, projected expenses, projected operating margins, and the discount rate.
During the measurement period, which is up to one year from the acquisition date, we have recorded and may continue to record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to Goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings. Refer to Note 6 - Acquisitions and Divestitures in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the allocation of the purchase price consideration for our acquisitions.
As a result of the Lexmark Acquisition in 2025 as well as other acquisitions including ITsavvy Acquisition Company, Inc (ITsavvy) in 2024, we have a significant amount of Goodwill. Our Goodwill, net balance was $2.2 billion at December 31, 2025. We assess Goodwill for impairment at least annually, or more frequently on an interim basis if we believe indicators of an impairment exist. The application of an interim or the annual Goodwill impairment test begins with the identification of reporting units, which requires judgment. A reporting unit is the same as, or one level below, an operating segment. During the first quarter of 2025, the Company updated its determination of reportable segments to align with a change in how the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), our Chief Executive Officer (CEO), allocates resources and assesses performance against the Company’s key growth strategies. As such, it was determined that there are two reportable segments and two reporting units - Print and Other, and IT Solutions. Prior to this change, the Company had two reportable segments - Print and Other, and Xerox Financial Services (XFS). We determined that the Print and Other and IT Solutions operating segments were also our reporting units for Goodwill assessment purposes. At December 31, 2025, $1,844 million and $378 million of Goodwill was allocated to the reporting units within our Print and Other and IT Solutions segments, respectively.
The process of evaluating the potential impairment of Goodwill is highly subjective and requires significant judgment. Our review of impairment starts with an assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether events or circumstances lead to a determination that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the Company is less than the net book value. Our qualitative assessment of the recoverability of Goodwill, whether performed annually or
Xerox 2025 Annual Report 40
Table of Conten t s
based on specific events or circumstances, considers various macroeconomic, industry-specific and company-specific factors. These factors include: (i) severe adverse industry or economic trends; (ii) significant company-specific actions, including exiting an activity in conjunction with restructuring of operations; (iii) current, historical or projected deterioration of our financial performance; or (iv) a sustained decrease in our market capitalization below our net book value. After assessing the totality of events and circumstances, if we determine that it is not more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the Company is less than its net book value, no further assessment is performed. If we determine that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the Company is less than net book value or if we elect to bypass the qualitative assessment, we proceed to a quantitative assessment or test of Goodwill.
If a quantitative assessment of Goodwill is required, the determination of the fair value of the Company will involve the use of significant estimates and assumptions. Our quantitative Goodwill impairment test uses both the income approach and the market approach to estimate fair value. The income approach is based on the discounted cash flow method that uses the Company's estimates of forecasted future financial performance including revenues, gross margins, operating expenses, and taxes, as well as working capital and capital asset requirements. These estimates are developed as part of our long-term planning process based on assumed market segment growth rates and our assumed market segment share, estimated costs based on historical data and various internal estimates. 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. When performing our market approach, we rely specifically on the guideline public company method. Our guideline public company method incorporates revenues and earnings multiples from publicly traded companies with operations and other characteristics similar to our reporting units. The selected multiples consider our reporting units' growth, profitability, size and risk relative to those of the selected publicly traded companies.
Annual Assessment
In connection with the Company's 2025 annual Goodwill impairment test, management performed a qualitative assessment of our Goodwill and concluded that Goodwill was not impaired. In performing the qualitative assessment, the Company considered the excess of fair value over carrying value that was determined as of January 1, 2025 - the date on which reporting units were reassessed - as well as relevant events and circumstances. These factors included macroeconomic conditions, industry and market trends, overall financial performance, cost factors, company-specific developments, including the impacts of higher valuation allowances against our deferred tax assets, legal and regulatory factors, and the Company's market capitalization relative to its net book value.
Subsequent to the Company's annual Goodwill impairment test conducted in the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company did not identify events or changes in circumstances that would have required an additional impairment assessment.
Refer to Note 12 - Goodwill, Net and Intangible Assets, Net in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding Goodwill.

Revenue
Total revenue increased 12.9% for the year ended December 31, 2025 including a 15.5-percentage point benefit and an 6.5-percentage point benefit from the Lexmark Acquisition and ITsavvy, respectively, as well as a 0.7-percentage point favorable impact from currency. The increase was partially offset by lower equipment sales and post sale revenue for legacy Xerox. Total revenue for legacy Xerox declined 9.1-percentage points in actual currency primarily due to lower installations, managed print services 1 , supplies revenue, and legacy IT Solutions revenue, as well as the adverse impact from Reinvention-related actions, and macroeconomic and policy-related uncertainty. On a pro forma 2 basis, 2025 total revenue declined 7.6% as compared to 2024 due to the impacts noted above, as well as backlog 3 fluctuations.
Total revenue decreased 9.7% for the year ended December 31, 2024 reflecting a 0.7-percentage point benefit from acquisitions, as well as a 0.2-percentage point adverse impact from currency. The decrease in total revenue was primarily due to lower post sale revenue, reflecting lower page volumes associated with our managed print services 1 contracts, intentional reductions in non-core revenue, including lower margin IT endpoint device placements, Fuji royalty income, paper sales, and Finance income, as well as the effects of Reinvention actions, including geographic and offering simplification, and lower PARC revenue. These negative impacts to post sale revenue were in part offset by the benefits of a partial quarter of ITsavvy, as well as higher supplies and digital and legacy

managed IT services revenue. The decrease in total revenue also reflects lower equipment sales, resulting from an unfavorable mix, the effects of backlog fluctuations in the current and prior year, the decision to stop manufacturing certain high-end equipment, the effects of geographic simplification, and the impacts from the implementation of organizational model changes in the first half of 2024. Equipment revenue declined across all product groups, and was most pronounced in Mid-range.

Total revenues included the following:
Post sale revenue
Post sale revenue reflects revenues from managed print services 1 , supplies, paper and financing. These revenues are associated not only with the population of devices in the field, which is affected by installs and removals, but also by the page volumes generated from the usage of such devices and the revenue per printed page. Post sale revenue also includes revenues from IT Solutions, comprised of IT products and services, Digital services and gains, commissions, and servicing revenue associated with the sale of finance receivables.
Post sale revenue for the three years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 reflected the following:
Services, maintenance, rentals and other revenue includes maintenance revenue (including bundled supplies), the services portion of our IT Solutions offering, digital services revenue, rentals, financing, and other revenues.
• For the year ended December 31, 2025, these revenues decreased 2.7% as compared to the prior year and included a 4.3-percentage point benefit and a 2.8-percentage point benefit from the Lexmark Acquisition and ITsavvy, respectively, as well as a 0.8-percentage point benefit from currency. The decline in constant currency 3 for the year ended December 31, 2025 reflects declines of legacy Xerox, partially offset by the benefit of these acquisitions. Excluding the impact of the acquisitions, revenue declined 9.8% in actual currency as compared to the prior year due primarily to managed print services 1 revenue which declined high-single digits, reflecting lower outsourcing, print services, and rental revenue, as well as the effects of geographic and offering simplification. The decline is also due to lower financing revenue reflecting a continued reduction in the average finance receivables balance associated with the sales of finance receivables. These negative impacts were partially offset by growth in digital services revenue. On a pro forma 2 basis revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased 8.1% as compared to the prior year, due to the impacts noted above.
• For the year ended December 31, 2024, these revenues decreased 7.8% as compared to the prior year period and included no impact from currency. Managed print services 1 revenue declined year-over year driven by lower outsourcing and print service revenue, including the effects of geographic simplification, as well as lower rental revenue, the termination of Fuji royalty income and the donation of PARC. The decline is also due to lower financing revenue reflecting a continued reduction in the average finance receivables balance associated with the sales of finance receivables, and lower originations. These impacts were partially offset by higher organic and inorganic IT Solutions revenue, including the benefits of a partial quarter of ITsavvy results, as well as higher digital services revenue, and gains, commission and servicing revenue associated with the sale of finance receivables.
IT products revenue includes the sale of notebooks, network communications and other endpoint devices, desktop computers and other IT hardware. Software product sales include deployments of cloud and security solutions, endpoint security application suites, operating systems, other applications and network management solutions.
• For the year ended December 31, 2025, these revenues increased 125.4% as compared to the prior year, and included a 128.1-percentage point benefit from the acquisition of ITsavvy, and a 1.7-percentage point benefit from currency. Excluding the impact of ITsavvy, revenue decreased 2.7% in actual currency as compared to the prior year due to a decline in the legacy Xerox IT Solutions business, which was partially attributable to the timing of large product placements in the prior year, a larger mix of revenue subject to net classification and revenue deferrals, the adverse impact to deals as a result of the government shutdown in 2025, and component cost increases. On a pro forma 2 basis, revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased 7.6%.
• For the year ended December 31, 2024, these revenues decreased 9.4% as compared to the prior year period, and included a 13.9-percentage point benefit from the acquisition of ITsavvy, as well as a 0.1-percentage point benefit from currency. Excluding the impact of ITsavvy, revenue decreased 23.3% in actual currency as compared to the prior year period due to a decline in the legacy Xerox IT Solutions business.

Supplies, paper and other sales includes unbundled supplies, paper and other sales.
• For the year ended December 31, 2025, these revenues increased 65.6% as compared to the prior year period and included a 74.3-percentage point benefit from the Lexmark Acquisition and a 0.3-percentage point adverse impact from currency. Excluding the impact of Lexmark, revenue declined 8.7% in actual currency as compared to the prior year due primarily to lower supplies revenue, as well as lower paper sales as a result of the sale of our European paper business. On a pro forma 2 basis revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 declined 5.8% as compared to the prior year.
• For the year ended December 31, 2024, these revenues decreased 5.1% as compared to the prior year, including a 0.1-percentage point adverse impact from currency. The decline at constant currency 3 primarily reflects lower sales of non-strategic, lower margin IT endpoint device placements and paper sales, as well as the effects of geographic simplification. These declines were partially offset by the benefit of revenue from the ITsavvy acquisition, and higher supplies revenue.

Gross Margin
Total gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2025 of 27.1% decreased 4.4-percentage points compared to 2024, and included an approximate 1.4-percentage point adverse impact and an approximate 0.5-percentage point adverse impact related to the Lexmark Acquisition and ITsavvy, respectively. Excluding the impact of these acquisitions, gross margin declined 2.5-percentage points. The decrease primarily reflects lower revenue and gross profit, including the adverse impact related to unfavorable product mix, primarily due to lower services, maintenance, rentals and other revenues, and lower page volumes, as well as product-related cost increases and the adverse impact related to tariffs. These impacts were partially offset by the benefits associated with Reinvention-related cost and productivity actions, and recent pricing actions. On a pro forma 1 basis, gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2025 of 28.6% decreased by 1.4-percentage points due to the impacts noted above.
Total gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2024 of 31.5% decreased 2.1-percentage points compared to 2023, primarily reflecting lower revenue and gross profit, primarily due to charges associated with the exit of certain production print manufacturing operations, which had a 0.8-percentage point unfavorable impact on gross margin, as well as higher transportation and product costs, an unfavorable equipment mix and lower print volumes. These impacts were partially offset by the benefits associated with recent Reinvention-related cost and productivity actions and currency.
Equipment gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2025 of 21.4% decreased 8.8-percentage points compared to 2024, and included a 3.1-percentage point adverse impact from the Lexmark Acquisition. Excluding the impact of Lexmark, equipment gross margin declined 5.7-percentage points. The decrease reflects lower revenue and gross profit, as well as the adverse impact related to product cost increases, incremental tariff-related costs, and unfavorable product mix. These impacts were partially offset by recent pricing initiatives and lower freight costs. On a pro forma 1 basis, equipment gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2025 of 19.7% increased 1.9 -percentage points.
Equipment gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2024 of 30.2% decreased 3.5-percentage points as compared to 2023, primarily reflecting lower revenue and gross profit, as well as higher product and transportation costs, the exit of certain production print manufacturing operations, and unfavorable product and channel mix. These impacts were partially offset by currency.

Research, Development and Engineering Expenses (RD&E)
RD&E as a percentage of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 of 3.3% increased 0.2-percentage points as compared to 2024, and included a 0.5-percentage point adverse impact from the Lexmark Acquisition and a 0.2-percentage point benefit from ITsavvy. The increase, as compared to the prior year, reflected spending that outpaced the increase in revenue. RD&E of $230 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased $39 million as compared to 2024. The increase was primarily due to Lexmark Acquisition, partially offset by lower spend in print and print services, as well as productivity and cost savings related to the Company's Reinvention. On a pro forma 1 basis, RD&E decreased by $26 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the prior year due to the impacts noted above.
RD&E as a percentage of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 of 3.1% decreased 0.2-percentage points as compared to 2023, and RD&E of $191 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, decreased $38 million as compared to 2023. The decrease was primarily due to productivity and cost savings related to the Company's Reinvention, the spin-off, exit, or shutdown of certain other RD&E related activities or businesses, and the corresponding reduction in real estate. The lower spending in innovation reflects decisions which provide greater focus and financial flexibility to pursue growth opportunities adjacent to our core operations. The decrease also reflected the strategic decision to donate PARC in 2023.

Selling, Administrative and General Expenses (SAG)
SAG as a percentage of revenue of 23.6% decreased 1.1-percentage points for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to 2024, including a 0.9-percentage point benefit from both the Lexmark Acquisition and ITsavvy, respectively. The decrease reflects higher revenues, which outpaced the increase in SAG spending, and lower bad debt expense.
SAG expenses of $1,654 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $117 million higher than 2024, primarily due to expenses related to the Lexmark Acquisition and ITsavvy, including post-acquisition expenses, including the settlement of pre-existing employment agreements, as well as other Reinvention-related investments, higher expense related to sales enablement and advertising, and the adverse impact of currency. These adverse impacts were partially offset by productivity and cost savings related to the Company's Reinvention, lower incentive compensation and benefits expenses, and lower outsourcing costs. On a pro forma 1 basis, SAG decreased $91 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 due to the impacts noted above, as well as lower post-acquisition expenses.
SAG as a percentage of revenue of 24.7% increased 0.1-percentage points for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to lower revenue, as well as higher bad debt expense, which were partially offset by lower selling and other administrative and general expenses. SAG expenses of $1,537 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $159 million lower than 2023 primarily reflecting productivity and cost savings related to the Company's Reinvention, as well as, lower incentive compensation expense, IT expenses, outsourcing costs, commission payments, litigation expense, and advertising costs, as well as the strategic decision to donate PARC in

the prior year. These favorable impacts were partially offset by higher bad debt expense, the inclusion of a partial quarter of ITsavvy results and transaction-related expenses related to the recent acquisition of ITsavvy and expected acquisition of Lexmark, as well as other Reinvention-related investments, and unfavorable currency.
Bad debt expense for the year ended December 31, 2024 of $42 million increased $14 million as compared to 2023. The increase reflects a reserve release in 2023 of approximately $12 million due to a favorable reassessment of the credit exposure on a large customer receivable balance, as well as an increased provision for aged accounts receivables in 2024. The adverse impacts were offset by a lower finance receivable balance, reflecting sales of finance receivables to various funding partners.
We continue to monitor developments in future economic conditions, and as a result, our reserves may need to be updated in future periods. As of December 31, 2025, on a trailing twelve-month basis, bad debt expense was approximately 1.5% of total receivables, as compared to approximately 1.9% for the prior year comparable period (excluding the reserve release in 2024) primarily reflecting lower bad debt expense.
Refer to Note 7 - Accounts Receivable, Net and Note 8 - Finance Receivables, Net in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our bad debt provision and related reserves.

Restructuring and Related Costs, Net
We incurred restructuring and related costs, net of $66 million, $112 million and $167 million for the three years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Charges incurred for restructuring actions were associated with Reinvention initiatives and other transformation programs to reduce and realign our cost structure to the changing nature of our business, as well as our efforts to integrate and consolidate certain operations of the legacy Xerox and Lexmark businesses, and included the following:

Restructuring and severance costs for the year ended December 31, 2025, includes approximately $89 million for worldwide headcount reductions as a result of our efforts to integrate and consolidate certain operations of the legacy Xerox and Lexmark businesses.
(2) Impairments are net of cash receipts.
2025 Restructuring and related costs, net are primarily associated with actions to integrate the legacy Xerox and Lexmark businesses, as well as actions associated with Reinvention including the impairment of an operating lease ROU asset, as well as the sales of facilities in the U.S. and Europe.
2025 actions impacted several functional areas, with approximately 45% focused on gross margin improvements, approximately 50% focused on SAG reductions, and the remainder focused on RD&E enhancements.
We expect 2025 restructuring actions to generate annualized pre-tax savings of approximately $115 million beginning in 2026. These estimates are based on current plans and assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual savings may differ materially from these estimates.
The reserve balance for Restructuring and related costs, net as of December 31, 2025, was $130 million, of which $71 million is expected to be paid over the next twelve months.

Amortization of Intangible Assets
Amortization of intangible assets for the three years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $83 million, $73 million and $43 million, respectively. Amortization expense increased in 2025 as compared to 2024, reflecting amortization expense associated with the intangible assets from the recent Lexmark Acquisition as well as a full year of amortization expense related to ITsavvy, both of which were partially offset by the higher level of accelerated amortization of certain trade names in the prior year. The increased level of amortization of intangible assets in 2024, as compared to 2023, was primarily related to the strategic write-off of approximately $37 million of certain trade names in 2024, as well as the amortization expense associated with the intangible assets from the recent acquisition of ITsavvy.
Refer to Note 6 - Acquisitions and Divestitures, and Note 12 - Goodwill, Net and Intangible Assets, Net in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our intangible assets.

Non-Financing Interest Expense
Non-financing interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 of $248 million was $129 million higher than 2024. The increase reflects the net increase in debt, primarily reflecting borrowings in support of the Lexmark Acquisition. Also contributing to the increase is a lower debt level allocated to Xerox Financial Services, which reflects a continued reduction in the average finance receivables balance associated with the sales of finance receivables to our various funding affiliates, as well as lower originations. When non-financing interest expense is combined with financing interest expense (Cost of financing), total interest expense of $334 million increased by $109 million from the prior year, primarily reflecting higher debt and interest rates on new debt issued in 2025.
Non-financing interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2024 of $119 million was $51 million higher than 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher interest rates on new Senior Notes issued in 2024, lower financing debt, as well as a slightly higher average debt balance as a result of issuance of Senior Notes and promissory notes in 2024. When non-financing interest expense is combined with financing interest expense (Cost of financing), total interest expense of $225 million increased by $27 million from the prior year, primarily reflecting the impact of higher average interest rates.
For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, both Xerox Holdings and Xerox reported total interest expense of $334 million, $225 million and $198 million, respectively, however, the amount reported by Xerox includes interest expense of $136 million, $111 million and $80 million for the three years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, paid to Xerox Holdings on an Intercompany Loan. The Intercompany Loan

represents a loan to Xerox of the net proceeds Xerox Holdings Corporation received from its Senior Notes, which was used to repay existing debt of Xerox Corporation. Xerox's interest expense on the Intercompany Loan matches the interest expense recognized by Xerox Holdings on its Senior Notes.
Refer to Note 15 - Debt in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Xerox Holdings Corporation/Xerox Corporation Intercompany Loan, our debt activity and information regarding the allocation of interest expense.
Non-Service Retirement-Related Costs
Non-service retirement-related costs decreased $2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the absence of settlement expense in the current year, as well as higher returns on plan assets, both of which were partially offset by costs associated with the Lexmark Acquisition.
Non-service retirement-related costs increased $61 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to 2023.The increase primarily reflects higher interest cost associated with an increase in actuarial losses subject to amortization, higher discount rates and a decrease in the expected return on plan assets, all of which were partially offset by lower settlement losses.
Service retirement-related costs, which are included in operating expenses, were $7 million, $6 million and $6 million for the years December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Refer to Note 18 - Employee Benefit Plans in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding service and non-service retirement-related costs.
Gains on Sales of Businesses and Assets
Gains on sales of businesses and assets for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $3 million lower than 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2024 gains on sales of businesses and assets was $31 million lower than 2023 reflecting lower sales of non-core surplus business assets in 2024, as compared to 2023.
Currency Losses, Net
Currency losses, net of $12 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $3 million lower as compared to 2024 primarily reflecting the sales of our direct business operations in Argentina, Chile & Peru in 2024, partially offset by the Lexmark Acquisition.
Currency losses, net of $15 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $13 million lower as compared to 2023 primarily due to the sale of our direct business operations in Argentina in 2024, as well as of the sale our Russian subsidiary in 2023
Refer to Note 16 - Financial Instruments in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our foreign currency derivatives.
Litigation Matters
2025 reflects legal fees and related expenses associated with various litigation and dispute matters which arise in the ordinary course of business.
Loss (Gain) on Early Extinguishment of Debt
During 2025, we recorded a $5 million loss reflecting the write-off of deferred debt issuance costs and unamortized discount, as well as other extinguishment costs related to the repayment of Senior Notes.
During 2024, we recorded a $(4) million (gain) on the repayment of Senior Notes (through a tender offer), partially offset by a loss of approximately $2 million on the write-off of deferred debt issuance costs
During 2023, we recorded losses of $10 million on the extinguishment of debt related to the early repayment on secured borrowings, the termination of our $250 million Credit Facility prior to entering into the new 5-year Asset Based Lending Facility (ABL), and the write-off of deferred debt issuance costs associated with the early extinguishment of the $555 million Bridge Loan Facility, that was replaced with the Term Loan B facility.

Forfeitures from defined contribution plan
During 2025, we established a $10 million pension asset resulting from employee forfeitures impacting one of our defined contribution plans in Latin America. This asset will be used to offset future employer contributions to the plan.
Commitment fee expenses
Commitment fee expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 primarily reflects fees associated with financing transactions related to the Lexmark Acquisition.
Transaction and related costs, net
2024 activity reflects the insurance proceeds related to a legal settlement, for the reimbursement of certain legal and other professional costs, associated with a past potential merger.
Excess Contribution Refund
During 2023, we received a refund reflecting the return of excess employer contributions to a defined contribution plan for one of our Latin American subsidiaries as a result of employee forfeitures. The excess contributions had accumulated over the past 20 plus years.
Tax Indemnification - Conduent
The credit of $7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 represents the reversal of a payable to Conduent of an IRS refund Xerox was expected to receive with the settlement of a pre-separation unrecognized tax position. The matter was resolved during the third quarter 2023 and both the receivable from the IRS and the payable to Conduent were no longer required. The reversal of the offsetting IRS refund receivable is recorded as a charge in Income tax benefit.
Pre-tax (Loss) Margin
Pre-tax (loss) margin for the year ended December 31, 2025 of (6.9)% decreased 12.6-percentage points from the pre-tax (loss) margin of (19.5)% in 2024 and included a 0.7-percentage point benefit from ITsavvy and a 1.0-percentage point adverse impact from the Lexmark Acquisition. The improvement for the year ended December 31, 2025 is primarily due to the pre-tax non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $1,058 million in the third quarter 2024, as well as benefits associated with Reinvention-related cost and productivity actions, recent pricing initiatives, lower Restructuring and related costs, net, as well as lower incentive compensation and benefits costs. In addition, the prior year reflected the sales of certain direct business operations in Latin America, resulting in a net disposal loss of $51 million. These benefits were partially offset by higher Other expenses, net, which included higher non-financing interest expense related to recently completed borrowings in support of the Lexmark Acquisition, as well as commitment fees associated with those debt offerings and insurance proceeds related to a legal settlement 2024. In addition, SAG increased due to the Lexmark Acquisition and ITsavvy, including post-acquisition expenses, as did RD&E. Lower gross margin included the adverse impacts related to the Lexmark Acquisition, unfavorable product mix, the impact of product cost increases and incremental tariff-related costs. On a pro forma 2 basis pre-tax (loss) margin improved by 12.6-percentage points mainly due to the impacts noted above.
Pre-tax (loss) margin for the year ended December 31, 2024 of (19.5)% increased 19.1-percentage points from the pre-tax (loss) margin of (0.4)% in 2023. The increase in pre-tax (loss) margin was primarily due to the pre-tax non-cash Goodwill impairment charge of $1,058 million, which was recorded during third quarter 2024. In addition, the pre-tax (loss) margin also reflects lower revenues and associated gross profit, including the intentional reduction of non-strategic revenue, the divestitures of certain direct business operations in Latin America, the exit of certain production print manufacturing operations, as well as higher Amortization of intangible assets, and higher Other expense, net. These impacts were partially offset by the PARC donation charge in 2023, as well as lower Selling, administrative and general expenses, lower Restructuring and related costs, net, and lower RD&E expenses.
Adjusted 1 operating margin for the year ended December 31, 2025 of 3.5% decreased 1.4-percentage points as compared to 2024 which included an approximate 1.0-percentage point benefit from the Lexmark Acquisition and an approximate 0.4-percentage point benefit from ITsavvy. Excluding these acquisitions, the decrease reflects lower gross margin, due to unfavorable revenue mix, product cost increases and incremental tariff-related costs. These impacts were partially offset by productivity and cost savings related to the Company's Reinvention, lower incentive compensation and benefits expenses, as well as price increases. On a pro forma 2 basis adjusted 1 operating margin for the year ended December 31, 2025 of 4.3% decreased by 2.1-percentage points due primarily to the impacts noted above, as well as from the Lexmark Acquisition and ITsavvy.
Xerox 2025 Annual Report 50
Table of Conten t s
Adjusted 1 operating margin for the year ended December 31, 2024 of 4.9% decreased 0.7-percentage points as compared to 2023. The decrease primarily reflects lower revenue and lower gross profit, which reflected reductions in non-strategic revenue and the effects of Reinvention actions, higher transportation and product costs, an unfavorable equipment mix, and lower print volumes, as well as the termination of Fuji royalty income, and higher bad debt expense. These impacts were partially offset by lower Selling, administrative and general expenses, including lower incentive compensation expenses, and the benefits from Reinvention related cost and productivity actions, benefits from the strategic decision to donate PARC in 2023, and the spin-off, exit, or shutdown of certain other RD&E related activities or businesses

Income Taxes
Xerox operations are widely dispersed. Our effective tax rate is based on our geographical mix of earnings as well as both recurring and nonrecurring events, including the taxation of foreign income. As a result of these factors, which may not be predictable, and our ability to benefit from current year’s losses, our effective tax rate may change.
The 2025 effective tax rate was (110.9)% and resulted in a tax expense, primarily due to the establishment of a valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets, as well the inability to benefit from certain current year losses. Excluding the establishment of a valuation allowance our effective tax rate was (0.6)%. On an adjusted 1 basis, the 2025 effective tax rate was 1,340.0%. Both these rates were higher than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to the inability to benefit from certain current year losses, and the geographical mix of earnings.
The 2024 effective tax rate was (8.6)%. Excluding the tax impacts for the goodwill impairment charge and the establishment of a valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets, the rate was 13.3%. This rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to the geographical mix of earnings, partially offset by the tax benefit associated with the redetermination of certain unrecognized tax positions. On an adjusted 1 basis, the 2024 effective tax rate was 26.6%, which was higher than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to the geographical mix of adjusted earnings, partially offset by the redetermination of certain unrecognized tax positions.
The 2023 effective tax rate was 103.6% and includes the loss on the PARC donation as well as the associated tax benefits. Excluding this impact, the effective tax rate was 10.6%. On an adjusted 1 basis, the 2023 effective tax rate was 14.6%. Both rates were lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to the tax benefits related to the redetermination of certain unrecognized tax positions upon the conclusion of several audits, as well as the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and change in tax filing positions, partially offset by the geographical mix of earnings.
Refer to Note 19 - Income and Other Taxes in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the geographic mix of income before taxes and the related impacts on our effective tax rate.

Equipment Sales Revenue
• For the year ended December 31, 2025, equipment sales revenue increased 8.0% as compared to 2024, and included an 16.5-percentage point benefit from the Lexmark Acquisition, and a 0.9-percentage point benefit from currency. The increase at constant currency 1 reflects higher installations driven by the inclusion of Lexmark. Excluding Lexmark, equipment sales declined 8.5-percentage points in actual currency due to lower installations and Reinvention-related actions, including the exit of certain production print manufacturing operations, partially offset by higher pricing. On a pro forma 2 basis, equipment sales revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased 8.7% as compared to the prior year, due to the impacts noted above, as well as backlog 3 fluctuations.
• For the year ended December 31, 2024, equipment sales revenue decreased 16.7% compared to the prior year, including a 0.2-percentage point adverse impact from currency. The decrease in constant currency 1 was primarily impacted by unfavorable mix, as well as the effects of backlog fluctuations in the current and prior year, the decision to stop manufacturing certain high-end equipment, the effects of geographic simplification, and the impacts from the organizational changes implemented in the first half of 2024. Revenue declined across all product groups, and was most pronounced in Mid-range, reflecting declines in both black-and-white and color installations, with a mix toward lower-priced A3 color multi-function printers.
Post Sale Revenue
• For the year ended December 31, 2025, post sale revenue increased by 6.6% as compared to 2024, and included an approximately 16.4-percentage point benefit from the Lexmark Acquisition as well as a 0.1-percentage point benefit from currency. Excluding the Lexmark Acquisition, post sale revenue declined approximately 9.8-percentage points in actual currency due primarily to a decline in managed print services 4 revenue, driven by lower outsourcing, print services, and rental revenue. Post sale revenue was also adversely affected by intentional reductions in non-strategic revenue, such as paper sales, and financing revenue, and the effects of geographic and offering simplification, as well as lower supplies revenue. These negative impacts were partially offset by growth in digital services revenue. On a pro forma 2 basis, post sale revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased 8.0%, mainly due to the impacts noted above.
• For the year ended December 31, 2024, post sale revenue decreased 7.8% as compared to 2023. Managed print services 4 declined as compared to 2023, driven by lower outsourcing and print service revenue, which includes the effects of geographic simplification, as well as lower rental revenue and paper sales. Post sale declines also resulted from a continued reduction of the average finance receivables balance in 2024. Finance

The change at constant currency 1 reflected the following:
Entry
• For the year ended December 31, 2025, the increase, as compared to 2024, primarily reflects the Lexmark Acquisition. Excluding the Lexmark Acquisition, the decrease reflects lower installations of black-and-white products, as well as a higher mix of sales to indirect channel partners, both of which were partially offset by higher installs of color products.
• For the year ended December 31, 2024, the decrease, as compared to 2023, primarily reflects higher backlog reductions and installations of Entry printer, and Entry A4 color devices in the prior year, partially offset by higher installations of Entry A4 black-and-white devices in the current year.
Mid-range
• For the year ended December 31, 2025, the increase, as compared to 2024, reflects the incremental installations as a result of the Lexmark Acquisition. Excluding the Lexmark Acquisition, the decrease reflects lower installs of black-and-white MFP products, partially offset by higher entry production color installs.
• For the year ended December 31, 2024, the decrease, as compared to 2023, reflects higher backlog reductions in the prior year, as well as declines in both black-and-white and color installations, and higher mix of lower-priced A3 color multi-function printers.
High-end
• For the year ended December 31, 2025, the decrease, as compared to 2024, was primarily due to lower installations, and the exit certain production print manufacturing operations in the prior year period.
• For the year ended December 31, 2024, the decrease, as compared to 2023, was primarily due to higher backlog 2 reductions in the prior year, as well as an unfavorable mix toward black-and-white devices, as well as lower High-end color installations, reflecting the evolution of our Production Print portfolio.

Revenue associated with equipment installations may be reflected up-front in Equipment sales or over time either through rental income or as part of our services revenues (which are both reported within our Post sale revenues), depending on the terms and conditions of our agreements with customers. Installs include activity for Xerox and non-Xerox branded products.
Detail by product group (see Products and Offerings Definitions ) is shown below.
Installs for the year ended December 31, 2025, include the impact of the Lexmark Acquisition, were:
• Entry increased 60% driven primarily by the contribution of Lexmark. Excluding the Lexmark Acquisition, installations decreased primarily due to declines of black-and-white printers, partially offset by growth of color printer installations.
• Mid-Range increased 2% driven by the contribution of Lexmark. Excluding the Lexmark Acquisition, installations were down primarily due to declines in color and black-and-white MFPs, partially offset by growth of Entry Production Color Low product installations.
• High-End decreased 27% primarily reflecting declines in Entry Production Color, as well as the decision to the exit certain production print manufacturing operations made in the prior year period.
Installs for the year ended December 31, 2024 were:
• Entry decreased 4% driven primarily by color installs reflecting declines in entry color printers, as well as declines in A4 Color MFP, as well as lower installs of black-and-white installs driven by declines in entry mono printers, partially offset by higher installs of A4 mono MFPs.
• Mid-Range decreased 9% primarily reflecting lower black-and-white installs, primarily driven by A3 mono MFPs, as well as lower installs of color products, primarily reflecting declines in A3 color MFPs, as well as Entry Production Color devices.
• High-End decreased 24% driven primarily by high-end color installs, reflecting declines in Entry Production Color products, as well as lower installs of black-and-white High-End Cut Sheet products.

Segment Expenses
Print and Other Segment expenses included the following:
Research, Development and Engineering Expenses (RD&E)
• RD&E of $230 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased $39 million as compared to 2024. The increase was primarily due to Lexmark Acquisition, partially offset by lower spend in print and print services, as well as productivity and cost savings related to the Company's Reinvention. On a pro forma 1 basis, RD&E decreased by $26 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the prior year due to the impacts noted above.
• RD&E of $191 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, decreased $38 million as compared to 2023. The decrease was primarily due to productivity and cost savings related to the Company's Reinvention, the spin-off, exit, or shutdown of certain other RD&E related activities or businesses, and the corresponding reduction in real estate. The lower spending in innovation reflects decisions which provide greater focus and
Xerox 2025 Annual Report 56
Table of Conten t s
financial flexibility to pursue growth opportunities adjacent to our core operations. The decrease also reflected the strategic decision to donate PARC in 2023.
Selling, Administrative and General Expenses (SAG )
• SAG expenses of $1,402 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $36 million higher than 2024, primarily due to expenses related to the Lexmark Acquisition, including post-acquisition expenses associated with the settlement of pre-existing employment agreements, as well as other Reinvention-related investments, and higher expense related to sales enablement and advertising, and the adverse impact of currency. These adverse impacts were partially offset by productivity and cost savings related to the Company's Reinvention, lower incentive compensation and benefits expense, and lower bad debt expense.
• SAG expenses of $1,366 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $181 million lower than 2023 primarily reflecting productivity and cost savings related to the Company's Reinvention, as well as lower incentive compensation expense, IT expenses, outsourcing costs, commission payments, litigation expense, and advertising costs, and the strategic decision to donate PARC in the prior year. These favorable impacts were partially offset by higher bad debt expense, and unfavorable currency.
Segment Margin
Print and Other segment margin of 4.4% for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased by 2.4-percentage points as compared to the prior year, primarily due to lower gross profit, impacted by higher product and incremental tariff-related costs, and unfavorable mix, as well as higher SAG and RD&E expenses. These impacts were partially offset by higher revenue, primarily as a result of the Lexmark Acquisition, as well as Reinvention-related cost and productivity actions, recent pricing actions, and lower freight costs. On a pro forma 1 basis, Print and Other segment margin of 5.3% decreased by 2.9-percentage points as compared to the prior year period, due to the impacts noted above, as well as the timing of certain enterprise deals at Lexmark.
Print and Other segment margin of 6.8% for the year ended December 31, 2024 decreased 0.6-percentage points compared to 2023. The decrease is primarily due to lower revenue, lower gross margin, and higher bad debt expense. These adverse impacts were partially offset by lower Selling and other administrative and general expenses, and lower RD&E expense, reflecting the benefits of cost and productivity savings.

Capital Resources and Liquidity
Our liquidity is primarily dependent on our ability to generate positive cash flows from operations. Additional liquidity is also provided through access to the financial capital markets and a committed asset-based revolving credit agreement (the ABL Facility), as well as the sales and assignment of finance lease receivables. Our access to financial capital markets may be limited from time to time due to a number of factors, including our credit ratings, the level of our outstanding indebtedness, and prevailing market conditions, including the trading levels of our existing debt securities. Based on our current level of operations, we do not expect our near term liquidity needs to be dependent on access to the financial capital markets and we believe that our available sources will be adequate to meet our liquidity needs for at least the next 12 months.
Currently, we are not aware of any other trends or demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will result in or that are reasonably likely to result in our liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way that will impact our capital needs during or beyond the next 12 months from March 16, 2026, the date these Consolidated Financial Statements were issued.
We cannot assure you, however, that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available to us under the Company's ABL facility and in amounts sufficient to enable us to repay our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs.
The following is a summary of our liquidity position:
• As of December 31, 2025, total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $565 million, and apart from restricted cash of $53 million, were readily accessible for use.
• Total debt at December 31, 2025 was $4,247 million of which $1,488 million is internally allocated to and supports the Company's finance assets. The remaining debt of $2,759 million is attributable to the non-financing business. Debt consists of senior unsecured notes, senior secured notes, secured promissory notes, and borrowings under a Term Loan B credit facility (the TLB). Refer to Note 15 - Debt in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details regarding our debt.
• During 2025, we issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of 10.250% Senior Secured First Lien Notes due 2030 (the First Lien Notes), $500 million of aggregate principal amount of 13.500% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2031 (the Second Lien Notes), $250 million aggregate principal amount of 13.00% Senior Notes due 2030 (the 2030 Notes), and $125 million aggregate principal amount of 13.00% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2026 (the 2026 Notes) an incremental term loan borrowing of approximately $327 million (Incremental Term Loans) under Xerox Corporation's Term Loan B (the TLB Facility). Refer to Note 15 - Debt in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to our Debt activity.
• In 2025, Xerox Corporation redeemed an aggregate principal amount of $388 million of Senior Notes due August 2025 (2025 Notes) and $136 million of aggregate principal amount of borrowings under the TLB Facility. Refer to Note 15 - Debt in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to our Debt activity.
• The Company has a finance receivables funding arrangements with various funding partners in the U.S., Canada, and in EMEA, pursuant to which the Company sells certain eligible pools of finance receivables. Under certain arrangements, Xerox may earn a specified fee with certain funding partners for servicing receivables from prior service arrangements. These arrangements have terms up to five years. We received proceeds of $357 million related to finance receivables sold during 2025, which included sales of leases originated in prior years.
• As of March 16, 2026 and based on our January availability calculation, we have availability of $382 before letters of credit issued under the ABL Facility of approximately $93. There are no current borrowings outstanding. Accordingly, our net availability is approximately $289. Certain debt covenants limit our total amount of secured debt outstanding. As of the date of our filing, our capacity under the ABL was not limited by any debt covenants. Our capacity to borrow under the ABL Facility may be adversely impacted by the terms of the ABL Facility and certain other agreements that govern our debt.
• We expect Operating cash flows to be approximately $360 million in 2026, reflecting the positive impacts of of an overall reduction in finance receivables, as well as higher net interest expense. Although not committed, we believe we have the ability to sell finance receivables for additional liquidity .

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash at End of Year $ 565 $ 631 $ 617 $ (66) $ 14
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $224 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, a decrease of $287 million as compared to 2024, reflecting lower operating performance and changes in customer financing and working capital. The decrease primarily reflected a $336 million decrease in pre-tax income before depreciation and amortization and other non-operating items due to lower profitability. Cash flow from operating activities was further impacted by a $174 million decrease related to finance receivables, primarily due to lower sales of finance receivables, partially offset by increased portfolio run-off as origination volumes declined. Working capital changes partially offset these impacts, including lower inventory levels, higher accounts payable and other liabilities due to timing of payments, as well as lower restructuring-related cash outflows. These favorable working capital movements were partially offset by higher accounts receivable driven by the timing of customer collections. Refer to Note 8 – Finance Receivables, Net in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the sale of finance receivables.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $511 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of $175 million as compared to 2023, reflecting lower operating performance, higher inventory levels, and increased cash outflows related to compensation, restructuring, and pension contributions. The decrease reflected a $101 million decrease in pre-tax income before depreciation and amortization and other non-operating items. Cash flow was further impacted by higher inventory levels, primarily reflecting increased purchases associated with changes in contractual terms with a large OEM vendor, as well as lower sales volumes of equipment and supplies. These impacts were partially offset by favorable working capital movements, including higher accounts payable due to the timing of supplier and vendor payments, changes in accounts receivable, increased run-off of finance receivables and lower placements of equipment on operating leases. Refer to Note 8 – Finance Receivables, Net in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the sale of finance receivables.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $698 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $500 million as compared to 2024, that was primarily driven by the Lexmark Acquisition and higher capital expenditures. These uses were offset by higher proceeds from the sale of surplus property and assets in the U.S. and Europe as well as the sale of non-core business assets, and partially offset by lower noncontrolling investments.
Net cash used in investing activities was $198 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $193 million as compared to 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher acquisition-related activity and increased investments, including noncontrolling investments of $19 million in 2024 as compared to $5 million in the prior year.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Xerox Holdings Corporation is the parent company and conducts the Company’s primary financing, dividend, and capital allocation activities. Xerox Corporation is the principal operating subsidiary and generates cash that is distributed to the parent to support these activities. The discussion below addresses financing activities at both levels.

Table of Conten t s
Xerox Holdings Corporation
Net cash provided by financing activities for Xerox Holdings was $404 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to net cash used in financing activities of $271 million in 2024. The increase in cash provided primarily reflected higher net debt issuances in 2025 and lower dividend payments, partially offset by higher other financing-related activities. During 2025, financing activities included the issuance of Senior Notes, resulting in approximately $1.2 billion of net debt proceeds, which were partially offset by repayments of existing debt, including Senior Notes, Term Loan B borrowings, secured promissory notes, and secured financing arrangements. These activities increased net borrowings as compared to the prior year, which included significant debt repayments and refinancing activity. Cash used in financing activities during 2025 also reflected common stock dividends, which declined compared to 2024 following dividend reductions, as well as commitment fees incurred in connection with the Lexmark Acquisition. The Company did not incur capped call purchases in 2025.
Net cash used in financing activities for Xerox Holdings was $271 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of $931 million in the cash used as compared to 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by net debt repayment activity and the absence of share repurchases completed in 2023, including the share repurchase from Icahn and affiliated parties. Cash used in financing activities during 2024 also reflected common stock dividends, which declined compared to 2023 as a result of lower outstanding shares.
Xerox Corporation
Net cash provided by financing activities for Xerox Corporation was $391 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. Financing activity at the operating company level primarily reflected debt issuances and repayments consistent with those described above, as well as distributions to Xerox Holdings.
Net cash used in financing activities for Xerox Corporation was $291 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. During 2024, Xerox Corporation distributed $202 million to Xerox Holdings, which was primarily used by the parent to fund dividends and share repurchases. Distributions from Xerox Corporation to Xerox Holdings are expected to continue and are intended to support the parent company’s capital allocation activities, including dividends and share repurchases. In addition, financing activity at the operating company level primarily reflected debt issuances and repayments consistent with those described above.
Refer to Note 15 - Debt in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding debt activity and Note 22 – Shareholders’ Equity in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Icahn share repurchase.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Refer to Note 14 - Supplementary Financial Information in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding restricted cash.
Lease Obligations
The Company has significant lease obligations related to real estate, vehicles, and certain equipment used in its operations. These obligations include both operating leases and finance leases, and lease payments are considered in the Company’s liquidity planning.
Operating Leases
Operating lease obligations primarily relate to facilities, vehicles, and certain supply chain arrangements. Payments under operating leases represent a recurring use of operating cash flows. During 2025, operating lease obligations increased primarily due to the Lexmark Acquisition and certain lease modifications; however, the Company believes its operating cash flows and available liquidity are sufficient to meet these obligations as they come due.
Finance Leases
Finance lease obligations relate primarily to equipment and infrastructure used in the Company’s operations. Obligations under finance leases are treated as financing commitments and are funded through a combination of operating cash flows and financing sources. The Company continues to manage finance lease obligations within its overall capital structure and liquidity framework.
Additional information regarding the Company’s operating and finance leases, including lease classifications and maturity profiles, is provided in Note 11 - Lessee in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Finance Assets and Related Debt
We provide lease equipment financing to our customers. Our lease contracts permit customers to pay for equipment over time rather than at the date of installation. Our investment in these contracts is reflected in total finance assets, net. We primarily fund our customer financing activity through cash generated from operations, cash on hand, finance receivables sales and proceeds from capital markets offerings.
We have arrangements, in certain international countries where third-party leasing companies or financial institutions independently provide lease financing directly to our customers, on a non-recourse basis to Xerox. In these arrangements, we sell and transfer title of the equipment to these entities. Generally, we have no continuing ownership rights in the equipment subsequent to its sale; therefore, the unrelated third-party finance receivable and debt are not included in our Consolidated Financial Statements.
The following represents our total finance assets, net associated with our lease and finance operations:

Our lease contracts permit customers to pay for equipment over time rather than at the date of installation; therefore, we maintain a certain level of debt (that we refer to as financing debt) to support our investment in these lease contracts, which are reflected in Total finance assets, net. For this financing aspect of our business, we maintain an assumed 7:1 leverage ratio of debt to equity as compared to our finance assets. Approximately 35% of our Total Finance assets, net balance at December 31, 2025 includes indirect lease financing primarily provided to end-user customers who purchased Xerox and non-Xerox equipment sold through distributors, resellers and dealers.

(1) Finance receivables debt is the basis for our calculation of Equipment financing interest expense, which is included in Cost of services, maintenance, rentals and other in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income.
At December 31, 2025, leverage was assessed against the total debt of Xerox Holdings Corporation and Xerox Corporation since the debt held by Xerox Holdings Corporation is guaranteed by Xerox Corporation and the funds from that borrowing were contributed in full by Xerox Holdings Corporation to Xerox Corporation. In 2026, we expect to continue leveraging our finance assets on a total debt basis at an assumed 7:1 ratio of debt to equity.
Sales of Finance Receivables
Refer to Note 8 - Finance Receivables, Net in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our sales of finance receivables.
Third Party Leasing Programs
The Company has an agreement with PEAC Solutions (PEAC) to provide leasing and financial services programs for Xerox and non-Xerox equipment sold through our U.S. network of independent dealers and resellers. In a addition, PEAC also provides risk, IT, and operations support related to these programs, and is the Company's preferred financing partner, primary funder, and service provider for XBS leases in the U.S.
Capital Market/Debt Activity
During 2025, we received proceeds of approximately $375 million from the issuance of Senior Notes, and approximately $904 million of Secured Debt. We made net payments of $388 million on the 5.000% Senior Notes due in August 2025, $144 million on the Term Loan B facility (TLB Facility), $110 million on secured promissory notes and $72 million on secured financing arrangements.
Refer to Note 15 - Debt in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our debt activity, as well as our secured financing arrangements.
Financial Instruments
In 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). During the third quarter 2025, the Company voluntarily de-designated certain interest rate swaps with a notional value of $300, which were previously accounted for as cash flow hedges of variable-rate debt. The de-designation was made because the Company may, from time to time, prepay portions of the underlying debt, resulting in forecasted interest payments that are no longer considered highly probable. Following the de-designation, the swaps continue to be carried at fair value on the balance sheet. Changes in fair value are recognized in earnings in interest expense were not material during 2025. Amounts previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the hedged cash flows was immaterial and was reclassified to earnings during 2025. During the fourth quarter, a $125 interest rate swap was terminated. Accordingly, the notional value of the remaining swap at December 31, 2025 was $175.
Refer to Note 16 - Financial Instruments in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Warrants
In connection with the issuance of the 2030 Note, Xerox Holdings issued a pre-funded warrant (the Warrant), exercisable for 2,160,256 shares of Xerox Holdings Corporation’s common stock (Common Stock), at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, of which $0.99 was prefunded, to one of the purchasers of the 13.00% Senior Notes due July 2030 (the 2030 Note). The exercise price and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant were subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends, stock splits, stock combinations, or similar events effecting the Common Stock. The Warrant was exercised during the third quarter 2025.
Xerox 2025 Annual Report 63
Table of Conten t s
In February 2026, the Company issued a pro-rata distribution of warrants to holders of Xerox’s common stock, par value $1.00 per share, Series A Convertible Perpetual Voting Preferred Stock, and 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030.
Refer to Refer to Note 15 - Debt in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the issuance of the 2030 Note, and Note 17 - Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the warrants that were issued to a shareholder during the third quarter 2025. Refer to Note 26 - Subsequent Events in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to the pro-rata distribution of warrants in 2026.
Share Repurchase Programs - Treasury Stock
There were no repurchases of Xerox Holdings Corporation's Common Stock for the year ended December 31, 2025.
On September 28, 2023, Xerox Holdings Corporation entered into a share purchase agreement with Carl C. Icahn and certain of his affiliates pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase an aggregate of approximately 34 million shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $542 million, exclusive of fees and expenses.
Refer to Note 22 - Shareholders' Equity in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our share repurchases.
Dividends
Aggregate dividends of $27 million, $128 million, and $146 million were declared on common stock in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease in dividends since 2024 primarily reflects the change in the dividend policy to reduce the Xerox annual dividend from $1 per share to 50 cents per share, starting with the dividend declared in the first quarter of 2025, and the subsequent further reduction to 10 cents per share, starting with the dividend declared in the second quarter of 2025.
Aggregate dividends of $14 million were declared on preferred stock in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Liquidity and Financial Flexibility
We manage our worldwide liquidity using internal cash management practices, which are subject to (i) the statutes, regulations and practices of each of the local jurisdictions in which we operate, (ii) the legal requirements of the agreements to which we are a party and (iii) the policies and cooperation of the financial institutions we utilize to maintain and provide cash management services. Our principal debt maturities are spread over the next five years as follows:

Lexmark Acquisition
During the fourth quarter 2025, adjustments were recorded to correct certain errors in the Lexmark Acquisition preliminary purchase price allocation that existed as of the acquisition date. The errors resulted from misstated balances of accounts receivable, contract assets, and contract liabilities in Lexmark's opening balance sheet as of
Xerox 2025 Annual Report 64
Table of Conten t s
July 1, 2025, and were subsequently reflected in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2025. Accordingly, Accounts receivable, net decreased by $73, Other current assets increased by $20, Deferred tax assets increased by $7, Accrued expenses and other current liabilities decreased by $11, and Other long-term liabilities decreased $7. The identified errors had an immaterial impact on the Lexmark preliminary purchase accounting through September 30, 2025. As a result of the correction, an increase of $28 was recorded to Goodwill. In addition, immaterial measurement period adjustments were also recorded which resulted in a further increase of $11 to Goodwill associated with the Lexmark Acquisition.
The allocation of the purchase price for this acquisition has been prepared on a preliminary basis, and adjustments may continue to be required as additional information becomes available. Additionally, as required by the Lexmark Agreement, Xerox provided its determination of the Closing Statement (as defined in the Lexmark Agreement) to the Lexmark Seller. The final purchase price is subject to a final working capital adjustment, which we are still finalizing.
Pension and Retiree Health Benefit Plans
We sponsor defined benefit pension plans and retiree health plans that require periodic cash contributions. Our 2025 cash contributions for these plans were $140 million for our defined benefit pension plans and $21 million for our retiree health plans.
In 2026, based on current actuarial calculations, we expect to make contributions of approximately $145 million to our worldwide defined benefit pension plans and approximately $20 million to our retiree health benefit plans. Approximately $95 million of estimated contributions for 2026 are for our U.S. tax-qualified defined benefit plans. However, once the next actuarial valuations and projected results are available, actual contributions required to meet minimum funding requirements will be determined and finalized and may change from the current estimate. Contributions to our defined benefit pension plans in subsequent years will depend on multiple factors, including the investment performance of plan assets and discount rates as well as potential legislative and plan changes.
Although all of our major defined benefit plans have been amended to freeze current benefits and eliminate benefit accruals for future service, several plans remain under-funded or unfunded by design. The projected benefit obligations for these benefit plans at December 31, 2025 exceeded the fair value of the assets of those plans by $1,045 million, which is a decrease of $22 million from the balance at December 31, 2024, of $1,067 million. The decrease is largely due to an increase in actual returns on plan assets, partially offset by the impact of lower actuarial gains, higher interest cost, and the Lexmark Acquisition.
Cash contributions to our retiree health plans are made each year to cover medical premiums and claim costs incurred during the year. Our retiree health benefit plans are unfunded and are primarily related to our U.S. and Canada operations. The unfunded balance of our retiree health plans of $179 million at December 31, 2025 increased by $6 million from the balance at December 31, 2024, primarily due to the adverse impact of currency, higher actuarial losses and the Lexmark Acquisition.
Refer to Note 18 - Employee Benefit Plans in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding contributions to our defined benefit pension and retiree health plans.
FUJIFILM Business Innovation Corp.
We purchased products, including parts and supplies, from FUJIFILM Business Innovation Corp. totaling $811 million, $886 million, and $933 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Our product supply agreements with FUJIFILM Business Innovation Corp. are designed to support the entire product lifecycle, end-to-end, including the availability of spare parts, consumables and technical support throughout the time such products are with our customers. Our purchase orders under such agreements are made in the normal course of business and typically have a lead time of three months.
Shared Services and Technology Arrangements
During 2024, Xerox entered into an agreement with HCL Technologies Limited (HCL), to renew and extend shared services arrangements, in which HCL provides certain global administrative and support functions to Xerox. Under these additional shared services arrangements, HCL will support Xerox's Global Business Services (GBS) organization with professional services support, sales efficiency, and remote problem-solving. Effective July 2025, Xerox is able to terminate the arrangement at any time, subject to payment of termination fees that decline over the term, or for cause.
During 2024, Xerox entered into a seven year agreement with Tata Consulting Services (TCS) to assist in consolidating Xerox’s technology services to improve business outcomes, migrate legacy data centers to the cloud, deploy a cloud-based digital ERP platform to transform business processes, and incorporate generative artificial

intelligence (GenAI) into operations to help drive sustainable growth. The agreement expanded Xerox's previous partnership, and TCS will continue to provide business processing outsourcing services in support of our global finance and accounting organization. There were no changes to the terms of the business processing outsourcing services agreement and Xerox can terminate the arrangement with 90 days' notice, subject to payment of a termination fee.
In connection with the technology agreement with TCS, Xerox also entered into seven-year agreements with both SAP Limited (SAP), who will provide Xerox with a cloud-based digital ERP platform, and Microsoft, who will provide their Azure cloud platform services.
During 2024, Xerox entered into a five-year agreement with Verizon Business Services (Verizon) to provide their Network as a Service (NaaS) solutions framework as part of Xerox's Reinvention. Under the terms of the agreement, Verizon will provide a secure network platform solution delivering network services to Xerox business locations globally.

We incurred net charges for these shared service and technology agreements of $349 million, $259 million and $227 million for the three years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The costs have been allocated to the various functional expense lines in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income based on an estimate of the nature and amount of the costs incurred for the various transferred functions.
Other Contingencies and Commitments
Refer to Note 20 - Contingencies and Litigation in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our other contingencies and commitments.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We may occasionally utilize off-balance sheet arrangements in our operations (as defined by the SEC Financial Reporting Release 67 (FRR-67), “Disclosure in Management’s Discussion and Analysis about Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations”). We enter into the following arrangements that have off-balance sheet elements:
• We have two facilities in Europe where we sell certain accounts receivables on a recurring basis. Refer to Note 7 - Accounts Receivable, Net in the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding accounts receivable sales.
• Since 2022, the Company has entered into Master Agreements for the sale and assignment of lease receivables with various counterparties that establishes a committed sale and purchase facility pursuant to which the Company agreed to offer for sale certain eligible pools of finance receivables in transactions intended to be true sales. For the three years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company sold finance leases under these agreements, and received proceeds of $357 million, $752 million, and $1,102 million, respectively. In some cases we will continue to service a portion of those lease receivables, and we will earn a servicing fee on a portion of those lease receivables serviced. Refer to Note 8 - Finance Receivables, Net in the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding these arrangements.
As of December 31, 2025, we do not believe we have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material current or future effect on financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
In addition, refer to Note 20 - Contingencies and Litigation in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding contingencies, guarantees, indemnifications and warranty liabilities.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We have reported our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In addition, we have discussed our financial results using the non-GAAP measures described below. We believe these non-GAAP measures allow investors to better understand the trends in our business and to better understand and compare our results. Management regularly uses our supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions. These non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. Compensation of our executives is based in part on the performance of our business based on these non-GAAP measures. Accordingly, we believe it is necessary to adjust several reported amounts, determined in accordance with GAAP, to exclude the effects of certain items as well as their related income tax effects.
However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are set forth below.
Adjusted Earnings Measures
• Adjusted Net (Loss) Income and Earnings per share (Adjusted EPS)
• Adjusted Effective Tax Rate
The above measures were adjusted for the following items:
Restructuring and related costs, net: Restructuring and related costs, net include restructuring and asset impairment charges as well as costs associated with our transformation programs beyond those normally included in restructuring and asset impairment charges. Restructuring consists of costs primarily related to severance and benefits paid to employees pursuant to formal restructuring and workforce reduction plans. Asset impairment includes costs incurred for those assets sold, abandoned or made obsolete as a result of our restructuring actions, exiting from a business or other strategic business changes. Additional costs for our transformation programs are primarily related to the implementation of strategic actions and initiatives and include third-party professional service costs as well as one-time incremental costs. All of these costs can vary significantly in terms of amount and frequency based on the nature of the actions as well as the changing needs of the business. Accordingly, due to that significant variability, we will exclude these charges since we do not believe they provide meaningful insight into our current or past operating performance, nor do we believe they are reflective of our expected future operating expenses as such charges are expected to yield future benefits and savings with respect to our operational performance.
Amortization of intangible assets: The amortization of intangible assets is driven by our acquisition activity which can vary in size, nature and timing as compared to other companies within our industry and from period to period. The use of intangible assets contributed to our revenues earned during the periods presented and will contribute to our future period revenues as well. Amortization of intangible assets will recur in future periods.
Non-service retirement-related costs: Our defined benefit pension and retiree health costs include several elements impacted by changes in plan assets and obligations that are primarily driven by changes in the debt and equity markets as well as those that are predominantly legacy in nature and related to employees who are no longer providing current service to the Company (e.g. retirees and ex-employees). These elements include (i) interest cost, (ii) expected return on plan assets, (iii) amortization of prior plan amendments, (iv) amortized actuarial gains/losses and (v) the impacts of any plan settlements/curtailments. Accordingly, we consider these elements of our periodic retirement plan costs to be outside the operational performance of the business or legacy costs and not necessarily indicative of current or future cash flow requirements. This approach is consistent with the classification of these costs as non-operating in Other expenses, net. Adjusted earnings will continue to include the service cost elements of our retirement costs, which are related to current employee service as well as the cost of our defined contribution plans.
Transaction and related costs, net: Transaction and related costs, net are costs and expenses primarily associated with certain major or significant strategic M&A projects. These costs are primarily for third-party legal, accounting, consulting and other similar types of professional services as well as potential legal settlements that may arise in connection with those M&A transactions. These costs are considered incremental to our normal operating charges and were incurred or are expected to be incurred solely as a result of the planned transactions. Accordingly, we
Xerox 2025 Annual Report 67
Table of Conten t s
exclude these expenses from our Adjusted Earnings Measures in order to evaluate our performance on a comparable basis.
Discrete, unusual or infrequent items: We excluded the following items, when applicable, given their discrete, unusual or infrequent nature and their impact on the comparability of our results for the period to prior periods and future expected trends:
• Inventory-related impact - exit of certain production print manufacturing operations
• Goodwill impairment
• Divestitures
• PARC donation
• Reinvention-related costs
• Loss (gain) on early extinguishment of debt
• Tax Indemnification - Conduent
• Commitment fee expenses
• Lexmark - pre-existing employment agreements settled post-acquisition
• Lexmark - inventory-related purchase accounting adjustment
• Lexmark - fixed asset-related purchase accounting adjustment
• Lexmark acquisition financing - escrow interest, net
• Goodwill impairment income tax
• Income tax on PARC Donation
• Deferred tax asset valuation allowance
Adjusted Operating Income and Margin
We calculate and utilize adjusted operating income and margin measures by adjusting our reported pre-tax (loss) income and margin amounts. In addition to the costs and expenses noted above as adjustments for our adjusted earnings measures, adjusted operating income and margin also exclude the remaining amounts included in Other expenses, net, which are primarily non-financing interest expense and certain other non-operating costs and expenses. We exclude these amounts in order to evaluate our current and past operating performance and to better understand the expected future trends in our business.

Full-year 2024 Net (Loss) and Diluted (Loss) per Share include the following: Q1-24 $100 million after-tax Reinvention-related charge, or $0.81 per share, primarily related to the exit of certain Production Print manufacturing operations and geographic simplification; Q2-24 $23 million ($17 million after-tax), or $0.14 per share, related to insurance proceeds from a legal settlement for the reimbursement of certain legal and other professional costs, associated with the terminated proposal to acquire HP Inc. in early 2020; Q3-24 an approximately $1.0 billion after-tax (approximately $1.1 billion pre-tax) non-cash goodwill impairment charge, or $8.17 per diluted share, a tax expense charge of $161 million, or $1.30 per diluted share, related to the establishment of a valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets to reflect their realizability; Q4-24 $37 million pre-tax ($28 million after-tax) write-off of intangibles, or $0.22 per share, and $19 million of pre-tax ($15 million after-tax) Reinvention and transaction-related costs, net or $0.12 per share. The tax expense charges related to the establishment of valuation allowances in the third quarter 2025 and 2024, respectively, were excluded due to their unique nature and significant impacts which are not considered part of our core operations.
(2) As a result of the exit of certain production print manufacturing operations, Cost of sales and Cost of services, maintenance, rentals and other includes inventory-related charges of $24 and $8 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, as well as the cancellation of related purchase contracts $— and $43 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Pro Forma Basis
To better understand the trends in our business, we discuss our 2025 pro forma operating results by comparing them against 2024 pro forma results. The 2025 pro forma results include estimated results of Lexmark, and the 2024 pro forma results include estimated results for both Lexmark and ITsavvy. ITsavvy is included in our 2025 reported results for the entirety of the year, as the effective date of acquisition was November 20, 2024. Lexmark is included in our 2025 results as of July 1, 2025, the effective date of acquisition.
We refer to comparisons against these adjusted results as “pro forma” basis comparisons. The pro forma information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, "Pro Forma Financial Information”. The pro forma combined statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 combine the Consolidated Statements of Operations of Xerox giving effect to the Lexmark Acquisition and ITsavvy as if they had occurred on January 1, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The pro forma information is presented to facilitate comparisons with our results following these acquisitions. The historical results of Xerox, ITsavvy and Lexmark have been adjusted to reflect the costs of financing the transactions, fair value adjustments related to inventory, real and personal property (equipment and computer hardware and software), and intangible assets. In addition, adjustments were made to conform both ITsavvy and Lexmark's accounting policies to those of Xerox, including deferred revenue and inventory. In accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, these proforma results exclude adjustments associated with transaction related costs which are already included in the historical financial statements.
We believe comparisons on a pro forma basis are more meaningful than the actual comparisons given the size and nature of these acquisitions. We believe the pro forma basis comparisons allow investors to have a better understanding and additional perspective of the expected trends in our business as well as the impact of these acquisitions on the Company’s operations. The pro forma financial information is based upon available information and assumptions that we believe are reasonable and is for illustrative purposes only. The financial results may have been different if the transactions described above had been completed sooner. You should not rely on the pro forma financial information as being indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved if these transactions and events had been completed as of January 1, 2024 and 2023. The pro forma combined financial information below should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes of the Company included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Financial Risk Management
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. We utilized derivative financial instruments to hedge economic exposures, as well as reduce earnings and cash flow volatility resulting from shifts in market rates.
Recent market events have not caused us to materially modify or change our financial risk management strategies with respect to our exposures to interest rate and foreign currency risk. Refer to Note 16 - Financial Instruments in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion on our financial risk management.
Foreign Exchange Risk Management
Assuming a 10% appreciation or depreciation in foreign currency exchange rates from the quoted foreign currency exchange rates at December 31, 2025, it would not significantly change the value of foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities as all material currency asset and liability exposures were economically hedged as of December 31, 2025. A 10% appreciation or depreciation of the U.S. Dollar against all currencies from the quoted foreign currency exchange rates at December 31, 2025 would have an impact on our cumulative translation adjustment portion of equity of approximately $266 million. The net amount invested in foreign subsidiaries and affiliates, primarily Xerox Limited and Xerox Canada Inc. and translated into U.S. Dollars using the year-end exchange rates, was approximately $2.7 billion at December 31, 2025.
Interest Rate Risk Management
The consolidated average interest rate associated with our total debt for 2025, 2024 and 2023 approximated 7.7%, 6.5%, and 6.0% respectively. Interest expense includes the impact of our interest rate derivatives.
Nearly all of our customer-financing assets earn fixed rates of interest. The interest rates on a significant portion of the Company's term debt are fixed.
As of December 31, 2025, of our total principal debt of $4,344 million, a total of $706 million of secured borrowings carried variable interest rates, of which $706 million Term Loan B (TLB) has a variable interest rate based on SOFR plus a spread.
The fair market values of our fixed-rate financial instruments are sensitive to changes in interest rates. At December 31, 2025, a 10% increase in market interest rates would reduce the fair values of such financial instruments by approximately $133 million.
The principal balance of our secured borrowings with a variable rate was $706 million as of December 31, 2025. These variable rate secured borrowings have fixed interest rate caps and swaps with notional amounts of $175 million. As of December 31, 2025, $175 million include derivatives which were de-designated as cash flow hedges.
A 10% change in the yield curve, representing approximately 50 basis points, will increase the derivative mark-to-market by approximately $2 million.
Refer to Note 15 - Debt in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our interest expense and our secured borrowings and Note 16 - Financial Instruments in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our interest rate caps and swaps.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Xerox Holdings Corporation
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, 2025 and 2024, 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, 2025, 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, 2025, 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, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025 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, 2025, 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 Lexmark International II, LLC ("Lexmark") from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, because it was acquired by the Company in a purchase business combination during 2025. We have also excluded Lexmark from our audit of internal control over financial reporting. Lexmark 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 represent approximately 13% and 14%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025.
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
Xerox 2025 Annual Report 75
Table of Conten t s
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.
Acquisition of Lexmark - Valuation of Customer Relationships
As described in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements, on July 1, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of Lexmark for total consideration paid of $768 million. Of the acquired total identifiable intangible assets, $530 million of customer relationships were recorded. Customer relationships were valued using a multi-period excess earnings method which calculates the present value of the estimated revenues and net cash flows derived from it. The present value of these projected future cash flows included significant judgment and assumptions regarding projected annual revenues derived from estimates of customer attrition, projected operating margins, and the discount rate.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation of customer relationships acquired in the acquisition of Lexmark is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value estimate of the customer relationships acquired; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to projected annual revenues derived from estimates of customer attrition, projected operating margins, 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 the acquisition accounting, including controls over management’s valuation of the customer relationships acquired. These procedures also included, among others (i) reading the purchase agreement; (ii) testing management’s process for developing the fair value estimate of the customer relationships acquired; (iii) evaluating the appropriateness of the multi-period excess earnings method used by management; (iv) testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used in the multi-period excess earnings method; and (v) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management related to projected annual revenues derived from estimates of customer attrition, projected operating margins, and the discount rate. Evaluating management’s assumption related to projected operating margins involved considering (i) the current and past performance of the Lexmark business and (ii) whether the assumption was 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 multi-period excess earnings method and (ii) the reasonableness of the projected annual revenues derived from estimates of customer attrition and discount rate assumptions.

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 workplace technology company, building and integrating services-led, software-enabled, workplace solutions for enterprises large and small. As customers seek to manage information and document workflows across digital and physical platforms, we deliver a seamless, secure, and sustainable experience. We provide advanced document technology, services, software, and integrated IT infrastructure solutions 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, Europe, Latin America, Brazil, Asia Pacific (APAC), 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. 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 primarily 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, 2025 and 2024, Xerox's investment in Myriad was $ 41 and $ 40 , respectively.
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.
The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
Currently, we are not aware of any other trends or demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will result in or that are reasonably likely to result in our liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way that will impact our capital needs during or beyond the next 12 months.
Xerox 2025 Annual Report 89
Table of Conten t s
Our liquidity is primarily dependent on our ability to generate positive cash flows from operations. Additional liquidity is also provided through access to the financial capital markets and a committed asset-based revolving credit agreement (the ABL Facility), as well as the sales and assignment of finance lease receivables. Our access to financial capital markets may be limited from time to time due to a number of factors, including our credit ratings, the level of our outstanding indebtedness, and prevailing market conditions, including the trading levels of our existing debt securities. Based on our current level of operations, we do not expect our near term liquidity needs to be dependent on access to the financial capital markets and we believe that our available sources will be adequate to meet our liquidity needs for at least the next 12 months.
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 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.
Lexmark Acquisition
On July 1, 2025, Xerox Corporation completed its previously announced acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding equity of Lexmark International II, LLC (Lexmark) from Ninestar Group Company Limited (the Seller) (the Lexmark Acquisition). Refer to Note 6 - Acquisition and Divestitures for additional information.
Segments
During the first quarter of 2025, the Company updated its determination of reportable segments to align with a change in how the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), our Chief Executive Officer (CEO), allocates resources and assesses performance against the Company’s key growth strategies. As such, it was determined that there are two reportable segments - Print and Other, and IT Solutions. Prior to this change, the Company had two reportable segments - Print and Other, and Xerox Financial Services (XFS). As a result of this change, prior period reportable segment results and related disclosures have been conformed to reflect the Company’s current reportable segments. Refer to Note 4 - Segment and Geographic Area Reporting for additional information regarding this change.
In connection with these changes to our reportable segments, certain reclassifications were made to the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income as follows:

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:
Interim Reporting - Narrow-Scope Improvements
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11 , Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, which amends existing guidance to clarify and improve certain interim reporting requirements, including disclosures and the application of interim period accounting principles in specific circumstances. The amendments in this update also include a disclosure principle that requires entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The amendments are effective for interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its interim disclosures and consolidated financial statements.
Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09 , Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements , which provides targeted improvements intended to simplify the application of hedge accounting, reduce complexity and cost, and enhance the transparency of hedge-related disclosures. The amendments in this update address certain hedge designation requirements and related documentation, provides targeted relief and clarity regarding methods and timing for assessing effectiveness, improves guidance related to accounting for modifications, and refines and eliminates certain disclosure requirements. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its hedge accounting policies and consolidated financial statements.
Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal Use Software
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025‑06 , Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Topic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software . The amendments are intended to modernize the recognition and capitalization framework to reflect current software development practices, including iterative and agile methodologies, by removing references to "development stages". It also clarifies the criteria for capitalization, which begins when both of the following occur: (1) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and (2) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The ASU permits companies to elect one of the following adoption methods to apply its amendments: a prospective transition approach, a retrospective transition approach, or a modified transition approach that is based on the status of the project and whether software costs were capitalized before the date of adoption. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. We are currently evaluating the adoption of this standard and its impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Financial Instruments - Credit Losses
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025‑05 , Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets , which provides new optional guidance relating to the estimation of expected credit losses on current accounts receivable and current contract assets under Accounting Standards Codification 326. This ASU permits entities to apply a practical expedient when estimating credit losses and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted, and should be applied prospectively. We are currently evaluating the adoption of this standard and its impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements and related 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

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.
