Key Business Highlights:

  • On track to drive 2019 gross savings of at least $640 million under Project Own It, Xerox’s enterprise-wide initiative to simplify operations, drive continuous improvement and free up capital to reinvest in the business
  • Added and renewed several contracts with Fortune 500 and public sector clients such as AstraZeneca, Leonardo S.p.A., Cardiff Council, and Prince George’s County Public Schools
  • Launched new products and enhancements such as the Xerox PrimeLink™ C9065/C9070and the iGen® 5 XLSto capture incremental production volume

Xerox also announced today that it has completed its evaluation of its customer financing business and will not pursue a sale of the business at this time. The company received and reviewed bids from multiple potential counterparties that were interested in purchasing the business at an attractive premium but ultimately determined that retaining and optimizing the business through Project Own It will generate the greatest return for shareholders.

Non-GAAP Measures

  • Adjusted operating margin and income, which exclude the EPS adjustments noted above as well as the remainder of other expenses, net.
  • Constant currency (CC) revenue growth, which excludes the effects of currency translation.
  • Free cash flow, which is cash flow from operations less capital expenditures.

  1. Certain prior year amounts have been conformed to the current year presentation. See Appendix III for this change in presentation.
  2. Refer to Appendix II for our Geographic Sales Channels and Products and Offerings Definitions.
  3. Excluding equipment revenue, Xerox Services was $719 million and $760 million in the third quarter 2019 and 2018, respectively, representing a decrease of 5.4% including a 1.6-percentage point unfavorable impact from currency.

Third quarter 2019 total revenue decreased 6.5% as compared to third quarter 2018, including a 1.2-percentage point unfavorable impact from currency, and an approximate 0.7-percentage point unfavorable impact from lower OEM sales. Third quarter 2019 total revenue reflected the following:

  • Post sale revenue primarily reflects contracted services, equipment maintenance, supplies 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 transactional IT hardware sales and implementation services from our XBS organization. Post sale revenue decreased 7.3% as compared to third quarter 2018, including a 1.1-percentage point unfavorable impact from currency, and reflected the following:

    • Services, maintenance and rentals revenue includes rental and maintenance revenue (including bundled supplies) as well as the post sale component of the document services revenue from our Xerox Services offerings. These revenues decreased 6.6% as compared to third quarter 2018, including a 1.0-percentage point unfavorable impact from currency. The decline at constant currency1 reflected the continuing trend of lower page volumes (including a higher mix of lower usage products), an ongoing competitive price environment, and a lower population of devices, which are partially associated with continued lower Enterprise signings and lower installs in prior periods.
    • Supplies, paper and other sales includes unbundled supplies and other sales. These revenues decreased 10.1% as compared to third quarter 2018, including a 0.9-percentage point unfavorable impact from currency and a 3.9-percentage point unfavorable impact from lower OEM sales. Excluding OEM sales, the decline at constant currency1 reflected lower paper sales from developing markets (primarily from the Latin America region), as well as the impact of lower supplies revenues primarily associated with lower page volume trends. These declines were partially offset by the implementation of a large transactional IT sales arrangement from our XBS organization.
    • Financing revenue is generated from financed equipment sale transactions. The 7.7% decline in these revenues reflected a continued decline in the finance receivables balance due to lower equipment sales in prior periods and included a 0.7-percentage point unfavorable impact from currency.

CC – Constant Currency (see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section).

  • Equipment sales revenue decreased 3.3% as compared to third quarter 2018, including a 1.1-percentage point unfavorable impact from currency as well as the impact of price declines of approximately 5%. The decline at constant currency1 was primarily driven by lower sales of our office-centric devices (entry and mid-range products) partially offset by higher sales of our production-centric systems (high-end). The decline at constant currency1 reflected the following:

    • Entry – The decrease reflected lower sales of devices primarily from developing market regions in EMEA reflecting in part continued weakness and delayed decisions as a result of uncertainty in the economic environment. Revenues from entry products through our indirect channels in the U.S. also declined as they were further impacted by price investments, and lower sales of devices from the lower end of the portfolio.
    • Mid-range – The decrease reflected lower sales from EMEA, primarily from developing market regions reflecting in part continued weakness and delayed decisions as a result of uncertainty in the economic environment. Revenues from our Americas region were flat as compared to the prior year, reflecting the favorable impact of a large account order (part of a refresh cycle), some of which occurred earlier than anticipated, offsetting lower sales from our US indirect channels and from our XBS sales organization, which continued to gradually stabilize from the impact of organizational changes that were part of our Project Own It transformation actions (including the transitioning of accounts to implement coverage changes, consolidation of real estate locations and the reduction of management layers).
    • High-end The increase reflected higher sales of color systems associated with continued demand for our Iridesse production press and installs of our Versant production systems, as well as higher sales of our iGen press in the U.S., partially offset by lower sales of black-and-white systems.

Total Installs

Installs reflect new placement of devices only. 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 Xerox Services revenues (which are both reported within our post sale revenues), depending on the terms and conditions of our agreements with customers.
