"Completing the Lexmark acquisition marks an important milestone in the company's Reinvention, creating a vertically integrated market leader with a broader, differentiated set of workflow and technology solutions for our clients and partners," said Steve Bandrowczak, chief executive officer at Xerox. "Our second quarter reflects the improved resiliency of financial results afforded by Reinvention. Growth in IT and Digital Solutions helped deliver stable revenue, and a focus on costs preserved profitability amid a volatile operating landscape. In the second half of the year, we're focused on executing Reinvention through the integration of Lexmark, laying the foundation for growth in revenue, adjusted operating income and free cash flow in 2026."

Second-Quarter Key Financial Results

Second-Quarter Segment Results

2025 Guidance

• Revenue: 16-17% growth in constant currency¹
• Adjusted¹ Operating Margin: around 4.5%
• Free cash flow¹: around $250 million

Revised guidance includes Lexmark's financial results beginning July 1 and reflects $30 to 35 million of expected tariff-related expenses, net of mitigation efforts, modest Lexmark-related synergies and a slightly more conservative Print equipment demand outlook amid ongoing tariff and government policy-related uncertainty. Free Cash Flow¹ guidance includes $60 to $65 million of cash tariff expenses, net of mitigation efforts, and $50 to $75 million of one-time costs associated with the implementation of synergy savings. Tariff impacts included in guidance reflect tariff rates that are proposed to take effect August 1. We continue to expect most tariff expenses to be offset over time through pricing and other mitigation efforts.

Non-GAAP Measures

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

• Adjusted¹ Gross Profit and Margin, which exclude the inventory impact related to the exit of certain Production Print manufacturing operations, included in Cost of services, maintenance and rentals.
• Adjusted¹ EPS, which excludes Restructuring and related costs, net, Amortization of intangible assets, non-service retirement-related costs, and other discrete adjustments from GAAP EPS, as applicable.
• Adjusted¹ operating income and margin, which exclude the EPS adjustments noted above as well as the remainder of Other expenses, net from pre-tax (loss) income and margin.
• Constant currency (CC)¹ revenue change, which excludes the effects of currency translation.
• Free cash flow¹, which is operating cash flow less capital expenditures.

Second Quarter 2025 Overview

Second quarter results demonstrated an improved resilience in revenue and adjusted¹ operating income afforded by our Reinvention. Actions taken to shift Xerox's revenue mix toward businesses with higher underlying rates of growth and the implementation of a more flexible, simplified operating structure provided revenue stability and supported adjusted¹ operating income amid a volatile operating landscape.

Equipment sales of $336 million in the second quarter 2025 declined 5.6% in actual currency, or 6.7% in constant currency¹, as compared to the second quarter 2024. The decline primarily reflects lower installations, due in part to a period of soft demand in April and May amid peak tariff and trade-related uncertainty, and a 3.3-percentage point adverse impact from Reinvention-related actions. Total equipment installations decreased approximately 12.0% year-over-year, with declines concentrated in the high-end and entry level equipment categories.

Post-sale revenue of $1.2 billion increased 1.5% in actual currency, or 0.5% in constant currency¹, as compared to second quarter 2024. Second quarter 2025 post-sale revenue included a 10.6-percentage point benefit from the recent acquisition of ITsavvy. Excluding ITsavvy, post-sale revenue declined 9.1% in actual currency. The organic decline was primarily due to lower managed print services² revenue, and to a lesser extent, delays in supplies sales associated with recently implemented tariffs. Reinvention-related actions, including the intentional reductions in non-strategic revenue and the effects of geographic and offering simplification, contributed to the decline. Excluding these impacts, organic post-sale revenue declined mid-single digits in constant currency.

Pre-tax loss of $60 million for the second quarter 2025 decreased by approximately $85 million as compared to pre-tax income of $25 million in the second quarter 2024. Pre-tax loss margin decreased 5.4% for the second quarter 2025 as compared to the second quarter 2024 and included a 0.7-percentage point benefit from the recent acquisition of ITsavvy. The decrease is primarily due to lower gross profit, which included the effects of product cost increases, incremental tariff-related costs and declines in financing and other fees associated with the intentional reduction of our finance receivable portfolio. Pre-tax loss was further affected by an increase in Other expenses, net, which reflected higher non-financing interest expense in the current year quarter related to recently completed borrowings in support of the Lexmark acquisition and the benefits of insurance proceeds related to a legal settlement in the second quarter 2024. These impacts were partially offset by lower Selling, administrative and general expenses, primarily reflecting productivity and cost savings related to the Company's Reinvention and lower incentive compensation and benefits costs.

Adjusted¹ operating income of $59 million decreased by $26 million as compared to second quarter 2024, primarily due to lower gross profit, reflecting product cost increases, incremental tariff-related costs and declines in financing-related fees. These impacts were partially offset by productivity and cost savings related to the Company's Reinvention, including lower incentive compensation and benefits costs.

Xerox's 2025 guidance now includes six months of activity associated with the recent Lexmark acquisition, which was effective July 1, 2025. We expect Revenue to grow 16-17% in constant currency¹, adjusted¹ operating income margin of approximately 4.5%, and free cash flow¹ of approximately $250 million in 2025. Adjusted¹ operating income guidance reflects $30 million to $35 million of tariff-related expenses, net of mitigation efforts, and modest Lexmark-related synergies. Free Cash Flow¹ guidance further reflects a higher level of cash tariff expenses and $50 million to $75 million of one-time costs associated with the implementation of synergy savings.

Lexmark Acquisition

On July 1, 2025, Xerox Corporation completed its previously announced acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding equity securities of Lexmark International II, LLC (Lexmark) from Ninestar Group Company Limited (the Seller), for approximately $1.5 billion, which is inclusive of net debt and other assumed liabilities. Total consideration transferred included cash of approximately $860 million, as well as the assumption of Lexmark's debt of $327 million.

We continue to expect over $1/share of accretion associated with the Lexmark transaction, despite a slightly higher than expected cost of funding. Based on U.S. tariffs currently proposed, we expect no material impact from tariffs on Lexmark's results. Lexmark has a large manufacturing facility in Juarez, Mexico that can support all expected imports of branded product into the U.S. market on a USMCA compliant basis.

Reportable Segment Change

Beginning in the first quarter of 2025, the Company made a change to its reportable segments - Print and Other, and IT Solutions to align with a change in how the Chief Operating Decision Maker, our Chief Executive Officer, allocates resources and assesses performance against the Company's key growth strategies. Prior to this change, the company had two reportable segments - Print and Other, and XFS. As a result of this change, prior period reportable segment results have been conformed to reflect the Company's current reportable segments. See Reportable Segments - 2024 Segment Review, and APPENDIX II - Reportable Segments.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have reported our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In addition, we have discussed our financial results using the non-GAAP measures described below. We believe these non-GAAP measures allow investors to better understand the trends in our business and to better understand and compare our results. Management regularly uses our supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions. These non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. Compensation of our executives is based in part on the performance of our business based on these non-GAAP measures. Accordingly, we believe it is necessary to adjust several reported amounts, determined in accordance with GAAP, to exclude the effects of certain items as well as their related income tax effects.

However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are set forth below, as well as in the second quarter 2025 presentation slides available at www.xerox.com/investor.

Adjusted Earnings Measures

• Adjusted Net Income and Earnings per share (Adjusted EPS)
• Adjusted Effective Tax Rate

The above measures were adjusted for the following items:

Restructuring and related costs, net: Restructuring and related costs, net include restructuring and asset impairment charges as well as costs associated with our transformation programs beyond those normally included in restructuring and asset impairment charges. Restructuring consists of costs primarily related to severance and benefits paid to employees pursuant to formal restructuring and workforce reduction plans. Asset impairment includes costs incurred for those assets sold, abandoned or made obsolete as a result of our restructuring actions, exiting from a business or other strategic business changes. Additional costs for our transformation programs are primarily related to the implementation of strategic actions and initiatives and include third-party professional service costs as well as one-time incremental costs. All of these costs can vary significantly in terms of amount and frequency based on the nature of the actions as well as the changing needs of the business. Accordingly, due to that significant variability, we exclude these charges since we do not believe they provide meaningful insight into our current or past operating performance nor do we believe they are reflective of our expected future operating expenses as such charges are expected to yield future benefits and savings with respect to our operational performance.

Amortization of intangible assets: The amortization of intangible assets is driven by our acquisition activity which can vary in size, nature and timing as compared to other companies within our industry and from period to period. The use of intangible assets contributed to our revenues earned during the periods presented and will contribute to our future period revenues as well. Amortization of intangible assets will recur in future periods.

Non-service retirement-related costs: Our defined benefit pension and retiree health costs include several elements impacted by changes in plan assets and obligations that are primarily driven by changes in the debt and equity markets as well as those that are predominantly legacy in nature and related to employees who are no longer providing current service to the Company (e.g. retirees and ex-employees). These elements include (i) interest cost, (ii) expected return on plan assets, (iii) amortization of prior plan amendments, (iv) amortized actuarial gains/losses and (v) the impacts of any plan settlements/curtailments. Accordingly, we consider these elements of our periodic retirement plan costs to be outside the operational performance of the business or legacy costs and not necessarily indicative of current or future cash flow requirements. This approach is consistent with the classification of these costs as non-operating in Other expenses, net. Adjusted earnings will continue to include the service cost elements of our retirement costs, which is related to current employee service as well as the cost of our defined contribution plans.

Transaction and related costs, net: Transaction and related costs, net are costs and expenses primarily associated with certain major or significant strategic M&A projects. These costs are primarily for third-party legal, accounting, consulting and 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 exclude these expenses from our Adjusted Earnings Measures in order to evaluate our performance on a comparable basis.

Discrete, unusual or infrequent items: We exclude these item(s), when applicable, given their discrete, unusual or infrequent nature and their impact on the comparability of our results for the period to prior periods and future expected trends.

• Inventory-related impact - exit of certain Production Print manufacturing operations
• Divestitures
• Reinvention-related costs
• Commitment fee expense
• Loss on early extinguishment of debt
• Lexmark acquisition financing - escrow interest, net

Adjusted Operating Income and Margin

We calculate and utilize adjusted operating income and margin measures by adjusting our reported pre-tax (loss) income and margin amounts. In addition to the costs and expenses noted above as adjustments for our adjusted earnings measures, adjusted operating income and margin also exclude the remaining amounts included in Other expenses, net, which are primarily non-financing interest expense and certain other non-operating costs and expenses. We exclude these amounts in order to evaluate our current and past operating performance and to better understand the expected future trends in our business.

Adjusted Gross Profit and Margin

We calculate non-GAAP gross Profit and Margin by excluding the inventory impact related to the exit of certain Production Print manufacturing operations, included in Cost of services, maintenance, rentals and other.

Constant Currency (CC)

To better understand trends in our business, we believe that it is helpful to adjust revenue to exclude the impact of changes in the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars. We refer to this adjusted revenue as "constant currency." This impact is calculated by translating current period activity in local currency using the comparable prior year period's currency translation rate. This impact is calculated for all countries where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. Management believes the constant currency measure provides investors an additional perspective on revenue trends. Currency impact can be determined as the difference between actual growth rates and constant currency growth rates.

Free Cash Flow

To better understand trends in our business, we believe that it is helpful to adjust operating cash flows by subtracting amounts related to capital expenditures. Management believes this measure gives investors an additional perspective on cash flow from operating activities in excess of amounts required for reinvestment. It provides a measure of our ability to fund acquisitions and pay dividends.
