ITEM 2 — MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
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. 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.
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. The MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes. Throughout this MD&A, references are made to various notes in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements which appear in Item 1 of this combined Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this Form 10-Q), 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 holds an investment in Myriad Ventures Fund I LP (Myriad). Myriad is fully consolidated by Xerox Holdings. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 investments of Myriad were $45 million and $41 million, respectively. For ease of discussion, the following MD&A includes the results of Xerox Ventures LLC as they are immaterial to earnings and the balance sheet.
Our results include Lexmark International II, LLC (Lexmark) from July 1, 2025, the effective date of the Lexmark Acquisition. 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, as applicable.
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.
Overview
In the first quarter of 2026, overall market trends improved compared to 2025, when demand was affected by DOGE-related spending reductions, tariff uncertainty, and the government shutdown. The February 2026 Supreme Court ruling on tariffs is expected to have a net positive impact on Xerox’s cost structure. However, those benefits are expected to be slightly more than offset by higher memory and oil prices. To date, none of these factors have impacted overall demand, apart from certain international markets with exposure to the Middle East conflict.
First quarter 2026 reflects the benefits of the Lexmark Acquisition and from Xerox’s Transformation1 efforts. These gains are complemented by a more unified go-to-market model, increasing partner validation, and strategic initiatives to enhance long-term profitability, positioning the company for sustained operational and financial improvements.
Equipment sales of $378 million in the first quarter 2026 increased 33.1% in actual currency and 30.7% in constant currency2, as compared to the first quarter 2025. First quarter 2026 equipment sales included a 38.0-percentage point benefit from the Lexmark Acquisition. Total equipment installations increased approximately 98.0% including the impact of the Lexmark Acquisition, partially offset by declines in legacy Xerox installations, in the entry-and mid-range color equipment categories. Excluding the Lexmark acquisition, equipment sales declined 4.9% in actual currency due to lower installations, partially offset by entry market lead generation initiatives. On a pro forma3 basis, first quarter 2026 revenue declined 2.3%, primarily reflecting the impacts noted above, partially offset by modest growth from Lexmark.
Post sale revenue of $1,314 million in the first quarter 2026 increased 30.1% in actual currency and 26.5% in constant currency2, as compared to first quarter 2025. First quarter 2026 post sale revenue reflected higher sales of supplies to our distributors and resellers and included a 35.3-percentage point benefit from the Lexmark Acquisition. Excluding the Lexmark Acquisition, post sale revenue declined 5.2% in actual currency primarily reflecting lower equipment service revenue and managed print services. Post sale revenue was also adversely impacted by intentional reductions in non-strategic revenue, including the exit of certain production print manufacturing operations in prior years, as well as a decline in financing revenue reflecting the continued sales of finance receivables to our various funding affiliates and lower originations. On a pro forma3 basis, first quarter 2026 revenue decreased 3.8%, primarily reflecting the impacts noted above.
IT Solutions revenue of $154 million in the first quarter 2026 declined 5.5% in actual currency and 6.2% in constant currency2, compared to the first quarter 2025. The decline was primarily driven by a mix of revenue subject to net classifications, revenue deferrals and impacts on demand resulting from component cost increases.
Pre-tax (loss) of $(73) million for the first quarter 2026 increased by $(6) million as compared to pre-tax (loss) of $(67) million in the first quarter 2025. Pre-tax (loss) margin of (4.0)% for the first quarter 2026 improved by 0.6-percentage points as compared to the first quarter 2025 pre-tax (loss) margin of (4.6)% and included a 2.3-percentage point benefit from the Lexmark acquisition. The improvement in the first quarter 2026 pre-tax (loss) margin was primarily due to higher revenue and gross profit, including Transformation-related1 cost reductions, productivity actions, and lower Other (income) expenses, net. The decrease in Other (income) expenses, net reflects a gain on the early repayment of a portion of the 2028 Senior Unsecured Notes in the first quarter 2026, and the absence of commitment fees incurred in the first quarter 2025 related to borrowings in support of the Lexmark acquisition. These benefits were partially offset by higher Restructuring and related costs, net and higher Amortization of intangible assets, Selling, administrative and general expenses (SAG) and Research, development and engineering expenses (RD&E), driven by the Lexmark acquisition. On a pro forma3 basis first quarter 2026 pre-tax (loss) margin improved by 1.7-percentage points primarily reflecting the impacts noted above.
First quarter 2026 adjusted2 operating income margin of 3.9% increased by 2.4-percentage points compared to first quarter 2025, and included an approximate 3.0-percentage point benefit from the Lexmark acquisition. The increase primarily reflects productivity and cost savings related to Transformation actions, and the benefit of the Lexmark acquisition. These benefits were partially offset by lower legacy Xerox revenue, as well as reduced gross profit, reflecting product cost increases and an unfavorable revenue mix, including declines in managed print services and equipment service revenue. On a pro forma3 basis first quarter 2026 adjusted2 operating margin increased by 0.2-percentage points primarily reflecting the impacts noted above, as well as the impact of the Lexmark acquisition.

The Lexmark contribution was partially offset by lower revenue at legacy Xerox. Total revenue for legacy Xerox decreased 5.2% in actual currency, primarily reflecting lower installations, reduced equipment service revenue, and declines in managed print services and IT Solutions revenue, as well as the adverse impact of Transformation-related actions. On a pro forma1 basis, first quarter 2026 total revenue declined 3.7% as compared to the first quarter 2025 primarily reflecting the impacts noted above, partially offset by growth from legacy Lexmark.

(1)Refer to the "Pro Forma Basis" section for an explanation of this measure. Reflects the inclusion of Lexmark's estimated results from January 1, 2025 through March 31, 2025. Lexmark's actual results are included in Xerox's reported results beginning on July 1, 2025, the effective date of the acquisition.

Gross Margin
First quarter 2026 gross margin of 29.7% increased by 0.5-percentage points as compared to first quarter of 2025, which included an approximate 0.9-percentage point benefit related to the Lexmark Acquisition. The increase in the first quarter 2026 primarily reflects higher revenue and gross profit, as well as the benefits associated with Transformation-related cost and productivity actions. These benefits were partially offset by the adverse impact related to product cost increases and an unfavorable revenue mix, including lower equipment service revenue and managed print services. Excluding the impact of the Lexmark acquisition, gross margin declined 0.4-percentage points. On a pro forma1 basis, first quarter 2026 gross margin of 29.7% increased by 0.2-percentage points.
First quarter 2026 equipment gross margin of 10.8% decreased by 17.1-percentage points as compared to first quarter of 2025, and included a 12.2-percentage point adverse impact from the Lexmark acquisition. Excluding the impact of Lexmark, equipment gross margin declined 4.9-percentage points. The decrease in the first quarter 2026 primarily reflects lower gross profit, including the adverse impact of product cost increases, as well as incremental tariff-related costs and unfavorable freight costs. These impacts were partially offset by benefits associated with Transformation-related cost and productivity actions and the absence of a charge recognized in the first quarter of 2025 related to the exit of certain production print manufacturing operations. On a pro forma1 basis, first quarter 2026 equipment gross margin of 10.8% decreased by 0.3-percentage points.
First quarter 2026 Post sale gross margin of 34.6% increased by 5.0-percentage points as compared to first quarter of 2025, which included a 4.4-percentage point benefit related to the Lexmark acquisition. Excluding the impact of the Lexmark acquisition, post sale gross margin increased 0.6-percentage points. The increase in the first quarter 2026 primarily reflects higher revenue and gross profit, including the benefits associated with Transformation-related cost and productivity actions. These benefits were partially offset by the adverse impact related to product cost increases, a fixed asset-related purchase accounting adjustment related to the Lexmark acquisition, unfavorable revenue mix, including lower equipment service revenue and managed print services, rental and other revenues, as well as lower financing fees. On a pro forma1 basis, first quarter 2026 post sale gross margin of 34.6% increased 0.5 -percentage points.

Lexmark's actual results are included in Xerox's reported results beginning on July 1, 2025, the effective date of the acquisition.
Research, Development and Engineering Expenses (RD&E)
First quarter 2026 RD&E as a percentage of revenue of 3.5% increased 0.6-percentage points as compared to first quarter 2025, and included a 0.9-percentage point adverse impact from the Lexmark acquisition. The increase in RD&E spending outpaced the increase in revenue primarily due to the Lexmark Acquisition.
First quarter 2026 RD&E of $64 million increased by $22 million compared to first quarter 2025, due to the Lexmark acquisition, partially offset by productivity and cost savings related to Transformation actions. On a pro forma1 basis, RD&E decreased by $10 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, primarily due to productivity and cost savings related to Transformation actions.

Selling, Administrative and General Expenses (SAG)
First quarter 2026 SAG as a percentage of revenue of 23.3% decreased by 2.6-percentage points as compared to first quarter 2025, including a 2.4-percentage point benefit from the Lexmark Acquisition. The increase in revenue outpaced the increase in SAG spending.
First quarter 2026 SAG of $430 million increased by $52 million as compared to first quarter 2025, primarily reflecting the impact of the Lexmark acquisition and unfavorable translation currency. These impacts were partially offset by productivity and cost savings related to Transformation actions, including lower marketing spend, as well as reductions in incentive compensation and bad debt expense. On a pro forma1 basis, first quarter 2026 SAG decreased $29 million, due to the impacts noted above.

_____________
(1)Restructuring and severance costs for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 include worldwide headcount reductions of approximately 775 and 130, respectively, as a result of our efforts to integrate and consolidate certain operations of the legacy Xerox and Lexmark businesses.
(2)Primarily related to the sale, exit and abandonment of leased and owned facilities, net of any potential sublease income and recoveries. Asset impairments of owned assets include cash proceeds resulting from asset sales and recoveries of $1 million and $19 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
(3)Primarily includes additional costs incurred upon the exit from our facilities, including decommissioning costs and associated contractual termination costs.
(4)Reversals of prior charges primarily include net changes in estimated reserves from initiatives accrued for in prior periods.
(5)Amounts primarily reflect severance and other related costs we are contractually required to pay in connection with employees transferred as part of the shared service arrangement entered into with third party providers.
First quarter 2026 primarily impacted the Print and Other segment in several functional areas, with approximately 20% focused on gross margin improvements, approximately 75% focused on SAG reductions, and the remainder focused on RD&E reductions. First quarter 2025 actions impacted several functional areas, with approximately 30% focused on gross margin improvements, approximately 60% focused on SAG reductions, and the remainder focused on RD&E optimization.
The Restructuring and related costs, net reserve balance for all programs as of March 31, 2026 was $148 million, of which $81 million is expected to be paid over the next twelve months.
Refer to Note 10 - Restructuring Programs in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our restructuring programs.
Worldwide Employment
Worldwide employment was approximately 22,900 as of March 31, 2026, which was consistent with December 31, 2025. Increases to headcount in the first quarter 2026 were largely offset by the impact of Transformation actions, including workforce reduction actions.
Non-Financing Interest Expense
First quarter 2026 non-financing interest expense of $84 million was $51 million higher than first quarter 2025. The increase, as compared to the prior year period, reflects higher interest rates on the recently completed borrowings in support of the Lexmark acquisition, as well as funding from the Joint Venture Financing arrangement entered into with TPG in the first quarter of 2026. 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, total interest expense for the first quarter 2026 of $103 million increased by $48 million compared to the first quarter 2025. Refer to Note 12 - Debt in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding debt activity and interest expense.

Non-Service Retirement-Related Costs
First quarter 2026 non-service retirement-related costs of $21 million increased by $3 million as compared to the first quarter 2025, primarily higher interest costs, as well as higher actuarial losses, both of which were partially offset by higher expected returns on plan assets. Refer to Note 15 - Employee Benefit Plans in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding service and non-service retirement-related costs.
Currency losses, net
First quarter 2026 currency losses, net increased $5 million as compared to the first quarter 2025, primarily due to fluctuations in the EUR/USD exchange rate and hedging costs incurred in connection with the recent acquisition of Lexmark.
Gain on early extinguishment of debt
First quarter 2026 gain on early extinguishment of debt of $56 million reflects the early repayment of a portion of our 5.500% Senior Unsecured Notes due August 2028.
Commitment fee expenses
First quarter 2025 commitment fee expense primarily reflects fees associated with the private offering of $400 million in aggregate principal amount of 10.250% Senior Secured First Lien Notes and $400 million aggregate principal amount of 13.500% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes Due in 2031.
Pre-tax (Loss) Margin
First quarter 2026 pre-tax (loss) margin of (4.0)% improved by 0.6-percentage points as compared to first quarter of 2025 pre-tax (loss) margin of (4.6)% and included a 2.3-percentage point benefit from the Lexmark Acquisition. The improvement in the first quarter 2026 pre-tax (loss) margin was primarily due to higher revenue and gross profit, reflecting Transformation-related cost and productivity actions, as well as lower Other (income) expenses, net. The decrease in Other (income) expenses, net reflects a gain on the early repayment of the 2028 Senior Unsecured Notes in the first quarter 2026 and the absence of commitment fees incurred in the first quarter 2025 related to borrowings in support of the Lexmark acquisition. These benefits were partially offset by higher Restructuring and related costs, net, higher Amortization of intangible assets, as well as higher SAG and RD&E driven by the Lexmark acquisition. On a pro forma1 basis first quarter 2026 pre-tax (loss) margin improved by 1.7-percentage points primarily reflecting the impacts noted above.

Adjusted1 Operating Margin
First quarter 2026 adjusted1 operating income margin of 3.9% increased by 2.4-percentage points as compared to first quarter 2025, and included an approximate 3.0-percentage point benefit from the Lexmark acquisition. Excluding this acquisition, the decrease reflects lower revenue, including equipment sales and post sale revenue, and lower gross profit, due to product cost increases and an unfavorable revenue mix, including lower outsourcing, rental, and other revenues, as well as lower financing fees. These impacts were partially offset by productivity and cost savings related to Transformation, and lower RD&E and SAG expenses. On a pro forma2 basis first quarter 2026 adjusted1 operating margin increased by 0.2-percentage points primarily reflecting the impacts noted above, as well as the impact of the Lexmark acquisition.

Income Taxes
First quarter 2026 effective tax rate was (43.8)% and resulted in tax expense of $32 million. On an adjusted1 basis, the first quarter 2026 effective tax rate was (218.8)%, which resulted in tax expense of $35 million. Both of these rates were higher than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% primarily due the inability to benefit from certain current year losses and expenses, as well as the geographical mix of earnings.
First quarter 2025 effective tax rate was a (34.3)%. This rate was higher than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% but resulted in tax expense of $23 million, primarily due to the establishment of a valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets and lower tax benefits of some current year losses and expenses, partially offset by the geographical mix of earnings. On an adjusted1 basis, first quarter 2025 effective tax rate was 60.0%, which resulted in a tax (benefit) of $(6) million and was higher than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to lower benefits of certain current year losses and expenses.
The effective tax rate is based on nonrecurring events as well as recurring factors, including the taxation of foreign income. In addition, the effective tax rate will change based on discrete or other nonrecurring events that may not be predictable.
Refer to Note 19 - Income Taxes in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

First quarter 2026 Print and Other segment revenue increased 30.8% as compared to first quarter 2025 and included a 3.4-percentage point benefit from currency. The increase was due to the Lexmark Acquisition.
Print and Other segment revenues included the following:
Equipment sales revenue increased 33.1% during the first quarter 2026 as compared to first quarter 2025, which included a 38.0-percentage point benefit from the Lexmark acquisition and a 2.4-percentage point benefit from currency. The increase in constant currency1 was driven by higher installations resulting from the Lexmark acquisition. Excluding the Lexmark acquisition, equipment sales declined 4.9% in actual currency due to lower installations, partially offset by the benefit of entry product marketing initiatives. On a pro forma1 basis, first quarter 2026 equipment sales revenue declined 2.3%, primarily reflecting the impacts noted above, partially offset by modest growth from Lexmark.

The change at constant currency1 primarily reflects the Lexmark Acquisition, as well as the following:
•Entry - The increase in the three months ended March 31, 2026 primarily reflects the Lexmark Acquisition. Excluding the Lexmark Acquisition, the decrease was driven by a shift in mix from color to black-and-white as installations remained relatively consistent compared to the prior year period.
•Mid-range - The decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2026 reflects declines in installations, partially offset by a shift mix to color.
•High-end - The decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily due to lower installations of black-and-white systems, partially offset by higher installations of entry production color products.

Total Installs
Installs reflect new placements of devices to end-user customers, and sales to distributors and resellers. 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 three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the prior year period, reflect the following:
•Entry increased 136% driven by the contribution of Lexmark. Excluding the Lexmark acquisition, installations remained relatively consistent with the prior year period, with growth in black-and-white MFPs offset by declines in color printers and MFPs.
•Mid-Range decreased 5% driven by declines in both black-and-white and color MFPs, partially offset by the contribution of Lexmark.
•High-End increased 31% primarily reflecting growth in Entry Production Color Mid and High, partially offset by the decision to exit certain production print manufacturing operations in prior years.
Products and Offerings Definitions

Post sale revenue
Post sale revenue primarily reflects revenues from managed print services, 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 the sale of Digital services, as well as gains, commissions, and servicing revenue associated with the sale of finance receivables.
Post sale revenue for the first quarter 2026 reflected the following:
Supplies, paper and other sales includes unbundled supplies, paper and other sales. First quarter 2026 revenues increased 160.1% and included a 163.7-percentage point benefit from the Lexmark acquisition and a 4.4-percentage point benefit from currency. The increase in constant currency1 was primarily driven by supplies sales from the Lexmark acquisition as well as higher supplies sales to our distributors and resellers. Excluding the Lexmark acquisition, revenue decreased 3.6% in actual currency due to lower supplies, paper and other sales reflecting in part the prior-year sale of our European paper business. On a pro forma2 basis, first quarter 2026 revenue decreased 2.0%, primarily reflecting the impacts noted above.
Services, maintenance, rentals and other revenue includes managed print services revenue, maintenance revenue (including bundled supplies), digital services revenue, rentals, financing, extended warranties, and other revenues. First quarter 2026 revenues increased 6.9% and included a 10.7-percentage point benefit from the Lexmark acquisition and a 3.7-percentage point benefit from currency. The increase in constant currency1 was primarily driven by equipment service revenue associated with the Lexmark acquisition. Excluding the Lexmark acquisition, revenue declined 3.8% in actual currency primarily reflecting lower equipment service revenue and managed print services, as well as lower rental revenue and the impact of exiting certain production print manufacturing operations in prior years. On a pro forma2 basis, first quarter 2026 revenue decreased 3.0%, primarily reflecting the impacts noted above.
Xerox Financial Services is a financing solutions business for direct channel customer purchases of Xerox equipment and solutions, and lease financing to end-user customers who purchase Xerox equipment and solutions. First quarter 2026 revenues decreased 22.8% compared to first quarter 2025, and included a 3.7-percentage point benefit from currency. Xerox Financial Services revenue decreased primarily due to a lower average finance receivable balance in the first quarter of 2026, driven by sales of finance receivables in recent quarters to our funding affiliates, as well as lower originations.

Segment Expenses
Research, Development and Engineering Expenses (RD&E)
First quarter 2026 RD&E of $64 million increased $22 million as compared to first quarter 2025 due to the Lexmark acquisition, partially offset by productivity and cost savings related to the Company's Transformation actions.
Selling, Administrative and General Expenses (SAG)
First quarter 2026 SAG of $379 million increased by $57 million as compared to first quarter 2025, primarily due to expenses related to the Lexmark Acquisition and unfavorable currency. These impacts were partially offset by productivity and cost savings related to the Company's Transformation initiatives including lower marketing spend, as well as reductions in incentive compensation and bad debt expense.
Segment Margin
First quarter 2026 Print and Other segment margin of 5.1% increased 1.9-percentage points as compared to first quarter of 2025, primarily due to higher gross profit, partially offset by higher SAG and RD&E expenses. Segment margin expansion was driven by the contribution of Lexmark, as well as Transformation-related cost and productivity actions. On a pro forma1 basis, Print and Other segment margin of 5.1% decreased by 0.3-percentage points as compared to first quarter of 2025, due to declines from legacy Xerox.

(1)IT Products reflect the sale of IT hardware and software solutions. Hardware product sales include 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.
(2)IT Services reflect revenue associated with the implementation of IT solutions, including product lifecycle, deployment and network monitoring services, and managed services.
(3)Reflects primarily IT hardware, software solutions and services sold by the IT Solutions segment to the Print and Other segment.
First quarter 2026 IT Solutions segment revenue decreased 4.9% as compared to first quarter of 2025 and included a 1.0-percentage point benefit from currency. IT Solutions segment revenue included the following:
IT Products was consistent with the first quarter 2025. Gross billings growth was offset by the mix of revenue subject to net classifications, revenue deferrals and the impact of component cost increases.
IT Services revenue decreased 15.5% during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to higher revenue deferrals.
Segment Expenses
Selling, Administrative and General Expenses (SAG)
First quarter 2026 SAG of $24 million increased by $1 million as compared to first quarter 2025, primarily due to higher benefits costs, as well as higher compensation expense.
Segment Margin
First quarter 2026 IT Solutions segment margin of 3.9% increased 0.8-percentage points as compared to first quarter of 2025, primarily driven by higher gross profit, partially offset by lower revenues and higher administrative expenses.
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 May 7, 2026, the date these Condensed 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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of Xerox Holdings Corporation were $637 million and $565 million, respectively, and apart from restricted cash of $52 million and $53 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, was readily accessible for use. The increase in total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $72 million primarily reflects net cash used in operating activities of $144 million, as well as net cash used in investing activities of $24 million, both of which were partially offset by net cash provided by financing activities of $242 million. Refer to Note 11 - Supplementary Financial Information in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, and supplemental cash flow information.
•Total debt at March 31, 2026 was $4,446 million, of which $1,407 million is allocated to, and supports the Company's finance assets. The remaining debt of $3,039 million is attributable to the non-financing business and increased from $2,759 million at December 31, 2025. Debt at March 31, 2026 consists of senior secured and unsecured notes, secured promissory notes, borrowings under a Term Loan B facility, and senior secured term loans associated with a joint venture financing. Refer to Note 12 - Debt in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to our Debt activity.
•In connection with Xerox Corporation's joint venture arrangement (the Joint Venture Arrangement) with TPG during the first quarter 2026, XRX Brandco Holdings LLC (IPCo Holdings), a fully consolidated variable interest entity (VIE) of Xerox Corporation, as borrower, entered into a credit agreement with Alter Domus (US) LLC, who provided $405 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured term loans (the Term Loans) (the Joint Venture Financing Arrangement). The Term Loans are accounted for as Debt in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of Xerox Corporation at March 31, 2026. The proceeds of the Joint Venture Financing Arrangement were distributed by dividend from IPCo Holdings to Xerox Corporation and are expected to be used for general corporate purposes and opportunistically addressing Xerox Holdings’ capital structure over time (which may include the redemption or payment of debt). Refer to Note 1 - Basis of Presentation in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to the Joint Venture Arrangement, and Note 12 - Debt in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to the Joint Venture Financing Arrangement.
•During the first quarter 2026, the Company repurchased approximately $101 million of its 5.50% Senior Unsecured Notes due August 2028 for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $45 million. The Company recognized a gain of approximately $56 million on the early extinguishment of the debt, which was recorded to Other (income) expenses, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Loss.
•As of May 7, 2026, and based on our March availability calculation, we have availability of $387 million before letters of credit issued under the ABL Facility of approximately $98 million. There are no current borrowings outstanding. Accordingly, our net availability is approximately $289 million. 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 indebtedness.
•We now expect operating cash flows to be approximately $350 million, which is a decrease from our previous guidance of $360 million, reflecting higher interest expense related to funding from the Joint Venture Financing Arrangement. 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 Period | | $ | 637 | | | $ | 390 | | | $ | 247 | |
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $144 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $55 million from the prior year period. Cash flow from operating activities was impacted by a $62 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 contributed to the use of cash, including higher accounts receivable and a lower year-over-year benefit from accounts payable, which reflected, in part, our ongoing working capital management initiatives, including the alignment of certain vendor payment terms. These unfavorable working capital movements were partially offset by lower inventory levels. Refer to Note 8 – Finance Receivables, Net in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the sale of finance receivables
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $24 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, reflecting a change of $30 million from the prior year period, which was primarily driven by the sale of surplus property and assets in the U.S. in the prior year.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $242 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to net cash used in financing activities of $159 million in the prior year period. The increase in cash primarily reflected higher net debt issuances and lower dividend payments in 2026. During 2025, financing activities included the repayments of existing debt, including secured financing arrangements, secured promissory notes and Term Loan B borrowings.

_____________
(1)Includes (i) Billed portion of finance receivables, net, (ii) Finance receivables, net and (iii) Finance receivables due after one year, net as included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
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.
Based on this leverage, the following represents the breakdown of total debt between financing debt and core debt:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Treasury Stock
Xerox Holdings Corporation made no open-market repurchases of its Common Stock during 2026.
Financial Risk Management
We are exposed to market risk from 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 utilize derivative financial instruments to hedge economic exposures, as well as to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility resulting from shifts in market rates. We enter into limited types of derivative contracts, including interest rate swap agreements, interest rate caps, foreign currency spot, forward and swap contracts and net purchased foreign currency options to manage interest rate and foreign currency exposures. Our primary foreign currency market exposures include the Euro, U.K. Pound Sterling and Japanese Yen. The fair market values of all our derivative contracts change with fluctuations in interest rates and/or currency exchange rates and are designed so that any changes in their values are offset by changes in the values of the underlying exposures. Derivative financial instruments are held solely as risk management tools and not for trading or speculative purposes.
We are required to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the balance sheet. As permitted, certain of these derivative contracts have been designated for hedge accounting treatment. Certain of our derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are effective as economic hedges. These derivative contracts are likewise required to be recognized each period at fair value and therefore do result in some level of volatility. The level of volatility will vary with the type and amount of derivative hedges outstanding, as well as fluctuations in the currency and interest rate markets during the period. The related cash flow impacts of all of our derivative activities are reflected as cash flows from operating activities.
By their nature, all derivative instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of market and credit risk. The market risk associated with these instruments resulting from currency exchange and interest rate movements is expected to offset the market risk of the underlying transactions, assets and liabilities being hedged. We do not believe there is significant risk of loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparties associated with these instruments because these transactions are executed with a diversified group of major financial institutions. Further, our policy is to deal with counterparties having a minimum investment grade or better credit rating. Credit risk is managed through the continuous monitoring of exposures to such counterparties.
The current market events have not required 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 13 – Financial Instruments in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion and information on our financial risk management strategies.
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.
Adjusted Earnings Measures
•Adjusted Net (Loss) and (Loss) per Share (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 (income) 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 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 the following 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
•Gain on early extinguishment of debt
•Divestitures
•Transformation-related costs
•Lexmark - fixed asset-related purchase accounting adjustment
•Commitment fee expenses
•PARC Donation - Income tax
•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 (income) expenses, net, which include 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.

Pro Forma Basis
To better understand the trends in our business, we discuss our 2026 operating results by comparing them against 2025 pro forma results, which include estimated results of Lexmark. 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 information is presented to facilitate comparisons with our results following the acquisition. Xerox and Lexmark's 2025 historical results 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 Lexmark's accounting policies to those of Xerox, including deferred revenue and inventory. In accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, these pro forma 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 the Lexmark Acquisition. 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 the Lexmark Acquisition 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 pro forma combined financial information below should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes to our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
