These statements reflect management’s current beliefs, assumptions and expectations and are subject to a number of factors that may cause actual results to differ materially. Such factors include but are not limited to: the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our and our customers' businesses and the duration and extent to which this will impact our future results of operations and overall financial performance; our ability to address our business challenges in order to reverse revenue declines, reduce costs and increase productivity so that we can invest in and grow our business; our ability to attract and retain key personnel; changes in economic and political conditions, trade protection measures, licensing requirements and tax laws in the United States and in the foreign countries in which we do business; the imposition of new or incremental trade protection measures such as tariffs and import or export restrictions; changes in foreign currency exchange rates; our ability to successfully develop new products, technologies and service offerings and to protect our intellectual property rights; the risk that multi-year contracts with governmental entities could be terminated prior to the end of the contract term and that civil or criminal penalties and administrative sanctions could be imposed on us if we fail to comply with the terms of such contracts and applicable law; the risk that partners, subcontractors and software vendors will not perform in a timely, quality manner; actions of competitors and our ability to promptly and effectively react to changing technologies and customer expectations; our ability to obtain adequate pricing for our products and services and to maintain and improve cost efficiency of operations, including savings from restructuring actions; the risk that confidential and/or individually identifiable information of ours, our customers, clients and employees could be inadvertently disclosed or disclosed as a result of a breach of our security systems due to cyber attacks or other intentional acts; reliance on third parties, including subcontractors, for manufacturing of products and provision of services; the exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union; our ability to manage changes in the printing environment and expand equipment placements; interest rates, cost of borrowing and access to credit markets; funding requirements associated with our employee pension and retiree health benefit plans; the risk that our operations and products may not comply with applicable worldwide regulatory requirements, particularly environmental regulations and directives and anti-corruption laws; the outcome of litigation and regulatory proceedings to which we may be a party; any impacts resulting from the restructuring of our relationship with Fujifilm Holdings Corporation; and the shared services arrangements entered into by us as part of Project Own It.

XEROX HOLDINGS CORPORATION

XEROX CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(in millions, except per-share data and where otherwise noted)

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. References herein to “we,” “us,” “our,” 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 unaudited Condensed 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 unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for each registrant.

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of both Xerox Holdings and Xerox have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in the Combined 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K (2020 Annual Report), except as noted herein, and the interim reporting requirements of Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted. You should read these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2020 Annual Report.

In our opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of financial position, operating results and cash flows for the interim periods presented have been made. These adjustments consist of normal recurring items. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results of the full year.

As of September 30, 2021, we are seeing improvement in our financial fundamentals where regions and countries continue to progress in controlling the COVID-19 pandemic and businesses resume investments in new printing technology and increase their level of printing services as compared to the prior year. However, the pandemic continues to have varying and divergent impacts across various regions and countries and a high degree of economic uncertainty still remains. We expect the pandemic's effects will likely continue to impact our financial results over the remainder of the year. Accordingly, many of our estimates and assumptions continue to require an increased level of judgment and may have to change in the future as events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available.

For convenience and ease of reference, we refer to the financial statement caption “Income before Income Taxes and Equity Income” as “pre-tax income”.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the activity for both Xerox Holdings and Xerox for all periods presented, unless otherwise noted.

Transfer of CareAR Holdings LLC to Xerox

In August 2021, in connection with Xerox Holdings Corporation's announcement of the formation of the CareAR software business, the ownership of CareAR Holdings LLC was transferred from Xerox Holdings Corporation to Xerox Corporation. The transfer was accounted for as a transfer of an entity under common control with retrospective adjustment of Xerox's prior period financial statements to reflect the ownership of the business from its acquisition in the fourth quarter 2020. The impact of this retrospective adjustment was not material to Xerox as the acquisition value was $9 and the entity incurred approximately $1 of expenses in 2020.

Goodwill

Interim Impairment Evaluation

We perform our annual Goodwill impairment testing in the fourth quarter of each year. After completing our quantitative impairment review in the fourth quarter 2020, we concluded that Goodwill was not impaired. Based on

Xerox 2021 Form 10-Q 11

---

various forecast models, which we believe reflected the inherent uncertainty of the future at that time, we estimated that the excess of fair value over carrying value ranged between 15% and 20% as of December 31, 2020.

Although business performance was steady in the third quarter 2021, we determined that the continued negative impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, the impact of supply chain disruptions, as well as a market capitalization that remains less than book value, required us to qualitatively assess whether a triggering event had occurred as of September 30, 2021. Based on our interim assessment as of September 30, 2021, we determined that it was more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the Company was greater than the net book value and that we did not have a “triggering event” requiring a quantitative or Step 1 assessment of Goodwill. Despite indications that our excess fair value is likely reduced as compared to the fourth quarter 2020, the Company's financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as well as projections for the full year, reviewed as part of our qualitative analysis, are still within the range of our sensitivity analysis performed as part of our 2020 annual impairment assessment.

If assumptions or estimates with respect to the Company's future performance vary from what is expected, including those assumptions relating to the duration and severity of the financial impact from the COVID-19 pandemic and the supply chain disruptions, this may impact the impairment analysis and could reduce the underlying cash flows used to estimate fair values and result in a decline in fair value that may trigger future impairment charges. As previously disclosed, we normally assess Goodwill for impairment during the fourth quarter, and based on an updated evaluation of the impact of the events and factors noted in 2021 – macroeconomic, industry and company – we plan to utilize a quantitative model for the assessment of the recoverability of our Goodwill balance.

Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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. ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be not applicable to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of either registrant.

Accounting Standard Updates to be Adopted:

Debt

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). This update simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models available for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. This update also amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity's own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions and requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share. This update is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2022. We do not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or by another reference rate expected to be discontinued. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope, which provided clarification guidance to ASU 2020-04. These ASUs were effective commencing with our quarter ended March 31, 2020 through December 31, 2022. There has been no impact to date as a result of ASU 2020-04 or ASU 2021-01 and subsequent amendments on reference rate reform. However, we continue to evaluate potential future impacts that may result from the discontinuation of LIBOR or other reference rates as well as the accounting provided in this update on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Accounting Standard Updates Adopted in 2021:

Income Taxes

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which was intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. We adopted this update effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2021. The adoption did not have, nor is it expected to have, a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or disclosures.

Xerox 2021 Form 10-Q 12

---

Other Updates

In 2021 and 2020, the FASB also issued the following ASUs, which impact the Company but did not have, or are not expected to have, a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption. Those updates are as follows:

•Investments: ASU 2020-01, Investments - Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). We adopted this update effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2021.

•Equity Instruments: ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options). This update is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2022.

•Leases: ASU 2021-05, Leases - Certain Lease Payments with Variable Lease Payments (ASC 842). This update is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2022.

Note 3 – Revenue

Revenues disaggregated by primary geographic markets, major product lines, and sales channels are as follows:

						Three Months Ended September 30,												Nine Months Ended September 30,
						2021						2020						2021						2020

Customer direct						204						255						597						684
Total Sales						$	657					$	651					$	1,929					$	1,676

_____________

(1)Geographic area data is based upon the location of the subsidiary reporting the revenue.

(2)Includes revenues from maintenance agreements on sold equipment as well as revenues associated with service agreements sold through our channel partners as Xerox Partner Print Services (XPPS).

(3)Primarily includes revenues from our Managed Services offerings. Also includes revenues from embedded operating leases, which were not significant.

(4)Primarily reflects sales through bundled lease arrangements.

(5)Primarily reflects sales through our two-tier distribution channels.

Contract Assets and Liabilities: We normally do not have contract assets, which are primarily unbilled accounts receivable that are conditional on something other than the passage of time. Our contract liabilities, which represent billings in excess of revenue recognized, are primarily related to advance billings for maintenance and other services to be performed and were approximately $135 and $130 at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The majority of the balance at September 30, 2021 is expected to be amortized to revenue over approximately the next 30 months.

Xerox 2021 Form 10-Q 13

---

Contract Costs: Incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract primarily include sales commissions paid to sales people and agents in connection with the placement of equipment with associated post sale services arrangements. These costs are deferred and amortized on the straight-line basis over the estimated contract term, which is currently estimated to be approximately four years. We pay commensurate sales commissions upon customer renewals, therefore our amortization period is aligned to our initial contract term.

Incremental direct costs are as follows:

						Three Months Ended September 30,												Nine Months Ended September 30,
						2021						2020						2021						2020
Incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract						$	14					$	15					$	44					$	43
Amortization of incremental direct costs						18						19						55						60

The balance of deferred incremental direct costs net of accumulated amortization at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $133 and $145, respectively. This amount is expected to be amortized over its estimated period of benefit, which we currently estimate to be approximately four years.

We may also incur costs associated with our services arrangements to generate or enhance resources and assets that will be used to satisfy our future performance obligations included in these arrangements. These costs are considered contract fulfillment costs and are amortized over the contractual service period of the arrangement to cost of services. In addition, we provide inducements to certain customers in various forms, including contractual credits, which are capitalized and amortized as a reduction of revenue over the term of the contract. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, amounts deferred associated with contract fulfillment costs and inducements were $16 and $13, respectively. The related amortization was $2 and $1 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $5 and $3 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Equipment and software used in the fulfillment of service arrangements, and where the Company retains control, are capitalized and depreciated over the shorter of their useful life or the term of the contract if an asset is contract specific.

Note 4 – Lessor

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

The components of lease income are as follows:

												Three Months Ended September 30,												Nine Months Ended September 30,
						Location in Statements of Income						2021						2020						2021						2020
Revenue from sales type leases						Sales						$	170					$	151					$	506					$	388
Interest income on lease receivables						Financing						55						55						166						170
Lease income - operating leases						Services, maintenance and rentals						54						77						172						242
Variable lease income						Services, maintenance and rentals						15						15						46						51
Total Lease income												$	294					$	298					$	890					$	851

Profit at lease commencement on sales-type leases was estimated to be $51 and $52 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $152 and $138 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Note 5 – Acquisitions and Investments

Acquisition

In 2021, Xerox continued its strategy of focusing on further penetrating the small-to-medium sized business (SMB) market through acquisitions of local area resellers and partners (including multi-brand dealers). During the second quarter of 2021, we acquired businesses associated with this initiative, which totaled $37, net of cash acquired, and included an office equipment dealer in Canada for approximately $30 and a document solutions provider in the U.S. for approximately $7.

The operating results of these acquisitions are not material to our financial statements and are included within our results from the acquisition date. The purchase prices were all cash for 100% ownership of the acquired companies and were primarily allocated to Intangible assets, net (approximately $21) and Goodwill (approximately $18), with the remainder to tangible assets and assumed/recorded liabilities. The allocations are based on preliminary management estimates, which continue to be reviewed, and are expected to be finalized by the end of 2021 and may include input and support from third-party valuations. Any adjustments to the preliminary allocations are not expected to be material.

Joint Venture Formation

In May 2021, Xerox and the Victorian Government (AU) (VicGov) announced that they have partnered to launch Eloque, a venture to commercialize new technology that will remotely monitor the structural health of critical infrastructure assets, such as road and railway bridges. Under the terms of the agreement, Xerox contributed approximately $5 in cash, along with technology and intellectual property for a controlling interest in the entity, whereas VicGov contributed approximately $5 in cash, along with technology and intellectual property for a noncontrolling interest in the entity. As a result of Xerox’s controlling interest in the newly formed entity, beginning with the second quarter 2021, Xerox consolidated the new entity and the VicGov investment was reported as a noncontrolling interest. The revenues and expenses of the new entity post formation did not materially impact the Company’s reported results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

ServiceNow Inc. Investment in CareAR

In August 2021, in connection with Xerox Holdings Corporation's announcement of the formation of the CareAR software business, ServiceNow, Inc. acquired a noncontrolling interest in CareAR Holdings LLC for $10. CareAR Holdings LLC is a direct operating subsidiary of Xerox Corporation and includes Xerox’s XMPie, Inc., DocuShare LLC and CareAR, Inc. business units. ServiceNow’s investment includes a fair value redemption right, which is contingent on the non-occurrence of a future liquidity event (e.g., sale, public offering, spin-off, etc.) within 6 years of the closing of the investment. As a result of this contingent redemption right, we classified ServiceNow’s noncontrolling interest in CareAR Holdings LLC as temporary equity within Xerox’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Fuji Xerox Technology Agreement (TA)

As previously disclosed, our TA with Fuji Xerox (now known as FUJIFILM Business Innovation Corp.) expired on March 31, 2021. The TA included a provision that allowed Fuji Xerox continued use of the Xerox brand trademark for two years after the date of termination of the TA as it transitions to a new brand in exchange for an upfront prepaid fixed royalty of $100. Fuji Xerox elected to continue its use of the Xerox brand trademark over the two year period and, therefore, in April 2021, made the $100 upfront payment due under the TA, which is included in Operating cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

We expect to recognize the revenue associated with this extended brand license ratably over the two year transition period. Accordingly, any potential entry by Xerox for Xerographic products into the Fuji Xerox territory under the Xerox brand will be deferred to at least April 1, 2023. The product supply agreements with Fuji Xerox will continue to be effective despite the termination of the TA, and Fuji Xerox and Xerox will continue to operate as each other’s product supplier under existing or new purchase/supply agreements.

_____________

(1)Includes the impacts of foreign currency translation and adjustments to reserves necessary to reflect events of non-payment such as customer accommodations and contract terminations.

We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and adjust credit limits based upon customer payment history and current creditworthiness. The allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable is determined based on an assessment of past collection experience as well as consideration of current and future economic conditions and changes in our customer collection trends. Based on that assessment the allowance for doubtful accounts as a percent of gross accounts receivable was 6.5% at September 30, 2021 and 7.2% at December 31, 2020. The allowance for doubtful accounts as a percent of gross accounts receivable remains at an elevated level as compared to historical levels primarily as a result of the macroeconomic and market disruption caused by COVID-19.

Accounts Receivable Sales Arrangements

Accounts receivable sales arrangements are utilized in the normal course of business as part of our cash and liquidity management. The accounts receivable sold are generally short-term trade receivables with payment due dates of less than 60 days. We have one facility in Europe that enables us to sell accounts receivable associated with our distributor network on an ongoing basis, without recourse. Under this arrangement, we sell our entire interest in the related accounts receivable for cash and no portion of the payment is held back or deferred by the purchaser.

Of the accounts receivable sold and derecognized from our balance sheet, $88 and $136 remained uncollected as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Accounts receivable sales activity was as follows:

						Three Months Ended September 30,												Nine Months Ended September 30,
						2021						2020						2021						2020
Accounts receivable sales(1)						$	127					$	115					$	359					$	182

____________

(1)Losses on sales were not material. Customers may also enter into structured-payable arrangements that require us to sell our receivables from that customer to a third-party financial institution, which then makes payments to us to settle the customer's receivable. In these instances, we ensure the sale of the receivables are bankruptcy-remote and the payment made to us is without recourse. The activity associated with these arrangements is not reflected in this disclosure, as payments under these arrangements have not been material and these are customer directed arrangements.

Note 8 - Finance Receivables, Net

Finance receivables include sales-type leases and installment loans arising from the marketing of our equipment. These receivables are typically collateralized by a security interest in the underlying assets.

Finance receivables, net were as follows:

						September 30, 2021						December 31, 2020

Finance receivables due after one year, net						$	1,936					$	1,984

Finance Receivables – Allowance for Credit Losses and Credit Quality

Our finance receivable portfolios are primarily in the U.S., Canada and EMEA. We generally establish customer credit limits and estimate the allowance for credit losses on a country or geographic basis. Customer credit limits are based upon an initial evaluation of the customer's credit quality and we adjust that limit accordingly based upon ongoing credit assessments of the customer, including payment history and changes in credit quality.

The allowance for credit losses is principally determined based on an assessment of origination year and past collection experience as well as consideration of current and future economic conditions and changes in our customer collection trends. Based on that assessment, the allowance for doubtful credit losses as a percentage of gross finance receivables (net of unearned income) was 4.0% at September 30, 2021 and 4.0% at December 31, 2020. In determining the level of reserve required, we had to critically assess current and forecasted economic conditions in light of the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure we objectively included those expected impacts in the determination of our reserve. Our assessment also included a review of current portfolio credit metrics and the level of write-offs incurred over the past year of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The allowance for doubtful accounts and provision for credit losses represent estimates of the losses expected to be incurred from the Company's finance receivable portfolio. The level of the allowance is determined on a collective basis by applying projected loss rates to our different portfolios by country, which represent our portfolio segments. This is the level at which we develop and document our methodology to determine the allowance for credit losses. These projected loss rates are primarily based upon historical loss experience adjusted for judgments about the probable effects of relevant observable data including current and future economic conditions as well as delinquency trends, resolution rates, the aging of receivables, credit quality indicators and the financial health of specific customer classes or groups.

The allowance for doubtful finance receivables is inherently more difficult to estimate than the allowance for trade accounts receivable because the underlying lease portfolio has an average maturity, at any time, of approximately two to three years and contains past due billed amounts, as well as unbilled amounts. We consider all available information in our quarterly assessments of the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. We believe our estimates, including any qualitative adjustments, are reasonable and have considered all reasonably available information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future events and economic conditions. The identification of account-specific exposure is not a significant factor in establishing the allowance for doubtful finance receivables. Our policy and methodology used to establish our allowance for doubtful accounts has been consistently applied over all periods presented.

Our allowance for doubtful finance receivables is effectively determined by geography. The risk characteristics in our finance receivable portfolio segments will generally be consistent with the risk factors associated with the economies of the countries/regions included in those geographies. Since EMEA is comprised of various countries and regional economies, the risk profile within that portfolio segment is somewhat more diversified due to the varying economic conditions among and within the countries.

The bad debt provision of $(4) in the third quarter 2021 included a reserve reduction of approximately $14 reflecting improvements in the macroeconomic environment as well as lower write-offs. Actual write-offs incurred to date have lagged expectations but remain in line with our original projections over the life of the lease portfolio and are consistent with future expectations regarding our estimated impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite

improvement in the global economy, local economies continue to recover from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic including the cessation of government support as well as labor, interest rate and inflation risks and the potential for higher taxes. As a result of these uncertainties, we continue to consider various adverse macroeconomic scenarios in our models. Accordingly, our reserves as a percent of receivables have remained fairly consistent subsequent to the first quarter 2020 when we recorded a charge of approximately $60 to initially record expected losses from the COVID-19 pandemic. We continue to monitor developments regarding the pandemic, including business reopenings and mitigating government support actions as well as future economic conditions, and as a result, our reserves may need to be updated in future periods.

The allowance for doubtful accounts as well as the related investment in finance receivables were as follows:

In the U.S., customers are further evaluated by class based on the type of lease origination. The primary categories are direct, which primarily includes leases originated directly with end customers through bundled lease arrangements, and indirect, which primarily includes leases originated through our XBS sales channel that utilizes a combination of internal and third-party leasing in its lease arrangements with end customers. Indirect also includes lease financing to end-user customers who purchased equipment we sold to distributors or resellers.

We evaluate our customers based on the following credit quality indicators:

•Low Credit Risk: This rating includes accounts with excellent to good business credit, asset quality and capacity to meet financial obligations. These customers are less susceptible to adverse effects due to shifts in economic conditions or changes in circumstance. The rating generally equates to a Standard & Poor's (S&P) rating of BBB- or better. Loss rates in this category in the normal course are generally less than 1%.

•Average Credit Risk: This rating includes accounts with average credit risk that are more susceptible to loss in the event of adverse business or economic conditions. This rating generally equates to a BB S&P rating. Although we experience higher loss rates associated with this customer class, we believe the risk is somewhat mitigated by the fact that our leases are fairly well dispersed across a large and diverse customer base. In addition, the higher loss rates are largely offset by the higher rates of return we obtain with such leases. Loss rates in this category in the normal course are generally in the range of 2% to 5%.

•High Credit Risk: This rating includes accounts that have marginal credit risk such that the customer’s ability to make repayment is impaired or may likely become impaired. We use numerous strategies to mitigate risk including higher rates of interest, prepayments, personal guarantees, etc. Accounts in this category include customers who were downgraded during the term of the lease from low and average credit risk evaluation when the lease was originated. Accordingly, there is a distinct possibility for a loss of principal and interest or customer default. The loss rates in this category in the normal course are generally in the range of 7% to 10%.

Credit quality indicators are updated at least annually, or more frequently to the extent required by economic conditions, and the credit quality of any given customer can change during the life of the portfolio.

The aging of our receivables portfolio is based upon the number of days an invoice is past due. Receivables that are more than 90 days past due are considered delinquent. Receivable losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of the receivable is confirmed and is generally based on individual credit evaluations, results of collection efforts and specific circumstances of the customer. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

We generally continue to maintain equipment on lease and provide services to customers that have invoices for finance receivables that are 90 days or more past due and, as a result of the bundled nature of billings, we also continue to accrue interest on those receivables. However, interest revenue for such billings is only recognized if collectability is deemed reasonably assured.

Note 11 – Restructuring Programs

We engage in restructuring actions through Project Own It as well as other transformation efforts in order to reduce our cost structure and realign it to the changing nature of our business. As part of our efforts to reduce costs, our restructuring actions may also include the off-shoring and/or outsourcing of certain operations, services and other functions, as well as reducing our real estate footprint.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded net restructuring and asset impairment charges of $28, which included $25 of severance costs related to headcount reductions of approximately 435 employees worldwide, $3 of other contractual termination costs and $12 of asset impairment charges. These costs were partially offset by $12 of net reversals, primarily resulting from changes in estimated reserves from prior period initiatives.

Note 12 – Debt

Xerox Holdings Corporation / Xerox Corporation Intercompany Loan

In August 2020, Xerox Holdings Corporation issued $550 of 5.00% Senior Notes due August 2025 (the "2025 Senior Notes") at par and $550 of 5.50% Senior Notes due August 2028 (the "2028 Senior Notes") at par resulting in aggregate net proceeds (after fees and expenses) of approximately $1,089. On August 24, 2020, Xerox Holdings Corporation issued an additional $200 of the 2025 Senior Notes at 100.75% of par and an additional $200 of the 2028 Senior Notes at 102.50% of par resulting in additional aggregate net proceeds (after premium, fees and expenses) of approximately $405 for total aggregate net proceeds from both issuances of approximately $1,494. In 2020, the net debt proceeds were contributed by Xerox Holdings Corporation to Xerox Corporation and recorded as Additional paid-in capital by Xerox Corporation.

In February 2021, Xerox Holdings Corporation and Xerox Corporation entered into an Intercompany Loan agreement for the net proceeds of $1,494 contributed by Xerox Holdings Corporation to Xerox Corporation in 2020. The intercompany loan, which did not involve the exchange of cash in the current period, resulted in capitalization of the amount as Related Party Debt for Xerox Corporation. The amount was originally recorded as Additional paid-in capital in 2020 when the cash was contributed by Xerox Holdings Corporation.

The intercompany loan was established to mirror the terms included in Xerox Holdings Corporation’s 2025 and 2028 Senior Notes, including interest rates and payment dates. The intercompany interest expense also includes a ratable amount to reimburse Xerox Holdings Corporation for its debt issuance costs and premium.

At September 30, 2021, the balance of the Intercompany Loan reported in Xerox Corporation’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was $1,494, which is net of related debt issuance costs, and the intercompany interest payable was $10. Xerox Corporation’s interest expense included interest expense associated with this Intercompany Loan of $21 and $11 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $60 and $11 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Secured Borrowings and Collateral

In September 2021, we entered into a secured loan agreement with a financial institution where we sold $331 of U.S. based finance receivables and the rights to payments under operating leases with an equipment net book value of $9 to a special purpose entity (SPE). The purchase by the SPE was funded through a $311 amortizing secured loan to the SPE from the financial institution. The secured loan was an amendment of the July 2020 secured borrowing with the same financial institution, which had a remaining balance of $136, and we received the incremental net cash. The transaction was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt and the issuance of new debt and associated collateral. The new loan has a variable interest rate based on LIBOR plus a spread (current rate of 1.40% at September 30, 2021) and an expected life of approximately 2.5 years with half projected to be repaid in the first year based on collections of the underlying portfolio of receivables. In October 2021, we entered into an interest rate hedge agreement to cap LIBOR over the life of the loan.

Xerox 2021 Form 10-Q 26

---

In December 2020, we entered into a secured loan agreement with a financial institution where we sold $610 of U.S. based finance receivables to an SPE. The purchase by the SPE was funded through an amortizing secured loan to the SPE from the financial institution of $500. The debt has a variable interest rate based on the financial institution's cost of funds plus a spread (current rate of 1.66% at September 30, 2021).

The sales of the receivables to the SPEs were structured as "true sales at law," and we have received opinions to that effect from outside legal counsel. However, the transactions were accounted for as secured borrowings as we consolidate the SPEs since we have both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the SPEs' economic performance through our role as servicer of all the receivables held by the SPEs, and the obligation through variable interests in the SPEs to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the SPEs. As a result, the assets of the SPEs are not available to satisfy any of our other obligations. Conversely, the credit holders of these SPEs do not have legal recourse to the Company’s general credit.

Below are the assets and liabilities held by the consolidated SPEs, which are included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 13 – Financial Instruments

Interest Rate Risk Management

We use interest rate swap and interest rate cap agreements to manage our interest rate exposure and to achieve a desired proportion of variable and fixed rate debt. These derivatives may be designated as fair value hedges or cash flow hedges depending on the nature of the risk being hedged. At September 30, 2021, there were no interest rate derivative contracts outstanding.

Foreign Exchange Risk Management

We are a global company and we are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the normal course of our business. As a part of our foreign exchange risk management strategy, we use derivative instruments, primarily forward contracts and purchased option contracts, to hedge the following foreign currency exposures, thereby reducing volatility of earnings or protecting fair values of assets and liabilities:

•Foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities

•Forecasted purchases and sales in foreign currency

At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had outstanding forward exchange and purchased option contracts with gross notional values of $1,106 and $1,161 respectively, with terms of less than 12 months. Approximately 81% of the contracts at September 30, 2021 mature within three months, 9% mature in three to six months and 10% in six to twelve months. There have not been any material changes in our hedging strategy.

Foreign Currency Cash Flow Hedges

We designate a portion of our foreign currency derivative contracts as cash flow hedges of our foreign currency-denominated inventory purchases, sales and expenses. The net (liability) asset fair value of these contracts were $(1) and $2 as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Summary of Derivative Instruments Fair Value

The following table provides a summary of the fair value amounts of our derivative instruments:

Designation of Derivatives						Balance Sheet Location						September 30, 2021						December 31, 2020
Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments
Foreign exchange contracts - forwards						Other current assets						$	4					$	3
						Accrued expenses and other current liabilities						(5)						(2)

Summary of Derivative Instruments Gains (Losses)

Derivative gains and (losses) affect the income statement based on whether such derivatives are designated as hedges of underlying exposures. The following is a summary of derivative gains (losses).

Designated Derivative Instruments Gains (Losses)

The following table provides a summary of gains (losses) on derivative instruments:

						Three Months Ended September 30,												Nine Months Ended September 30,
Gain (Loss) on Derivative Instruments						2021						2020						2021						2020
Fair Value Hedges - Interest Rate Contracts
Derivative loss recognized in interest expense						$	—					$	—					$	—					$	(1)
Hedged item gain recognized in interest expense						—						—						—						1
Cash Flow Hedges - Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts and Options
Derivative gain (loss) recognized in OCI (effective portion)						$	3					$	1					$	(9)					$	5
Derivative (loss) gain reclassified from AOCL to income - Cost of sales (effective portion)						(2)						—						(5)						1

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, no amount of ineffectiveness was recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for these designated cash flow hedges and all components of each derivative’s gain or (loss) were included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness. In addition, no amount was recorded for an underlying exposure that did not occur or was not expected to occur.

As of September 30, 2021, a net after-tax loss of $1 was recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with our cash flow hedging activity. The entire balance is expected to be reclassified into net income within the next 12 months, providing an offsetting economic impact against the underlying anticipated transactions.

Non-Designated Derivative Instruments Gains (Losses)

Non-designated derivative instruments are primarily instruments used to hedge foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities. They are not designated as hedges since there is a natural offset for the remeasurement of the underlying foreign currency-denominated asset or liability.

The following table provides a summary of gains and (losses) on non-designated derivative instruments:

Derivatives NOT Designated as Hedging Instruments						Location of Derivative Gain (Loss)						Three Months Ended September 30,												Nine Months Ended September 30,
												2021						2020						2021						2020
Foreign exchange contracts – forwards						Other expense – Currency gains (losses), net						$	2					$	2					$	(20)					$	19

Currency losses, net were $3 and $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively and $6 and $4 for nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Net currency gains and losses include the mark-to-market adjustments of the derivatives not designated as hedging instruments and the related cost of those derivatives as well as the remeasurement of foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities and are included in Other expenses, net.

Note 14 – Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

The following table represents assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The basis for the measurement at fair value in all cases is Level 2 – Significant Other Observable Inputs. 

						September 30, 2021						December 31, 2020
Assets
Foreign exchange contracts - forwards						$	8					$	6
Foreign currency options						—						1
Deferred compensation plan investments in mutual funds						18						18
Total						$	26					$	25
Liabilities
Foreign exchange contracts - forwards						$	9					$	5
Deferred compensation plan liabilities						18						17
Total						$	27					$	22

We utilize the income approach to measure the fair value for our derivative assets and liabilities. The income approach uses pricing models that rely on market observable inputs such as yield curves, currency exchange rates and forward prices, and therefore are classified as Level 2.

Fair value for our deferred compensation plan investments in mutual funds is based on quoted market prices for those funds. Fair value for deferred compensation plan liabilities is based on the fair value of investments corresponding to employees’ investment selections.

Summary of Other Financial Assets and Liabilities

The estimated fair values of our other financial assets and liabilities were as follows:

						September 30, 2021												December 31, 2020
						Carrying Amount						Fair Value						Carrying Amount						Fair Value
Cash and cash equivalents						$	2,209					$	2,209					$	2,625					$	2,625
Accounts receivable, net						891						891						883						883
Short-term debt and current portion of long-term debt						646						652						394						396
Long-term Debt
Xerox Holdings Corporation						1,494						1,565						1,493						1,596
Xerox Corporation						1,892						1,993						2,187						2,298
Xerox - Other Subsidiaries(1)						287						288						370						372
Long-term debt						$	3,673					$	3,846					$	4,050					$	4,266

____________

(1)Represents subsidiaries of Xerox Corporation

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

Note 20 – Contingencies and Litigation

Legal Matters

We are involved in a variety of claims, lawsuits, investigations and proceedings concerning: securities law; governmental entity contracting; servicing and procurement law; intellectual property law; environmental law; employment law; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA); and other laws and regulations. We determine whether an estimated loss from a contingency should be accrued by assessing whether a loss is deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated. We assess our potential liability by analyzing our litigation and regulatory matters using available information. We develop our views on estimated losses in consultation with outside counsel handling our defense in these matters, which involves an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. Should developments in any of these matters cause a change in our determination as to an unfavorable outcome and result in the need to recognize a material accrual, or should any of these matters result in a final adverse judgment or be settled for significant amounts, they could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial position in the period or periods in which such change in determination, judgment or settlement occurs.

Brazil Contingencies

Our Brazilian operations have received or been the subject of numerous governmental assessments related to indirect and other taxes. The tax matters principally relate to claims for taxes on the internal transfer of inventory, municipal service taxes on rentals and gross revenue taxes. We are disputing these tax matters and intend to vigorously defend our positions. Based on the opinion of legal counsel and current reserves for those matters deemed probable of loss, we do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will materially impact our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Below is a summary of our Brazilian tax contingencies:

						September 30, 2021						December 31, 2020
Tax contingency - unreserved						$	349					$	355
Escrow cash deposits						33						39
Surety bonds						103						112
Letters of credit						75						78
Liens on Brazilian assets						—						—

The decrease in the unreserved portion of the tax contingency, inclusive of any related interest, was due to closed cases and currency, partially offset by new cases and interest. With respect to the unreserved tax contingency, the majority has been assessed by management as being remote as to the likelihood of ultimately resulting in a loss to the Company. In connection with the above proceedings, customary local regulations may require us to make escrow cash deposits or post other security of up to half of the total amount in dispute, as well as, additional surety bonds and letters of credit, which include associated indexation. Generally, any escrowed amounts would be refundable and any liens on assets would be removed to the extent the matters are resolved in our favor. We are also involved in certain disputes with contract and former employees. Exposures related to labor matters are not material to the financial statements as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. We routinely assess all these matters as to the probability of ultimately incurring a liability against our Brazilian operations and record our best estimate of the ultimate loss in situations where we assess the likelihood of an ultimate loss as probable.

Litigation Against the Company

Pending Litigation Relating to the Fuji Transaction:

1.Ribbe v. Jacobson, et al.:

On April 11, 2019, Carmen Ribbe filed a putative derivative and class action stockholder complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York for New York County, naming as defendants Xerox, then-current Board members Joseph J. Echevarria, Cheryl Gordon Krongard, Keith Cozza, Giovanni G. Visentin, Jonathan Christodoro, Nicholas Graziano, and A. Scott Letier, and former Board members Jeffrey Jacobson, William Curt Hunter, Robert J. Keegan, Charles Prince, Ann N. Reese, Stephen H. Rusckowski, Gregory Q. Brown, and Sara Martinez Tucker. Plaintiff previously filed a putative shareholder derivative lawsuit on May 24, 2018 against certain of these defendants, as well as others, in the same court; that lawsuit was dismissed without prejudice on December 6, 2018 ("Ribbe I"). The new complaint included putative derivative claims on behalf of Xerox for breach of fiduciary duty against the then members of the Xerox Board who approved Xerox’s entry into agreements to settle shareholder actions filed in 2018 in the same court against Xerox, its then directors, and FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation (“Fujifilm”) in connection with a proposed transaction announced in January 2018 to combine Xerox and Fuji Xerox (the “Fuji

Transaction”), including a consolidated putative class action, In re Xerox Corporation Consolidated Shareholder Litigation (“XCCSL”), and actions filed by Darwin Deason, Deason v. Fujifilm Holdings Corp., et al. and Deason v. Xerox Corporation, et al., against the same defendants as well as, in the first Deason action, former Xerox Chief Executive Officer Ursula M. Burns (the "Fuji Transaction Shareholder Lawsuits"). Plaintiff alleged that the settlements ceded control of the Board and the Company to Darwin Deason and Carl C. Icahn without a vote by, or compensation to, other Xerox stockholders; improperly provided certain benefits and releases to the resigning and continuing directors; and subjected Xerox to potential breach of contract damages in an action by Fuji relating to Xerox’s termination of the proposed Fuji Transaction. Plaintiff also alleged that the then-current Board members breached their fiduciary duties by allegedly rejecting plaintiff’s January 14, 2019 shareholder demand on the Board to remedy harms arising from entry into the Deason and XCCSL settlements. The new complaint further included direct claims for breach of fiduciary duty on behalf of a putative class of current Xerox stockholders other than Mr. Deason, Mr. Icahn, and their affiliated entities (the “Ribbe Class”) against the defendants for causing Xerox to enter into the Deason and XCCSL settlements, which plaintiff alleged perpetuated control of Xerox by Mr. Icahn and Mr. Deason and denied the voting franchise of Xerox shareholders. Among other things, plaintiff sought damages in an unspecified amount for the alleged fiduciary breaches in favor of Xerox against defendants jointly and severally; rescission or reformation of the Deason and XCCSL settlements; restitution of funds paid to the resigning directors under the Deason settlement; an injunction against defendants’ engaging in the alleged wrongful practices and equitable relief affording the putative Ribbe Class the ability to determine the composition of the Board; costs and attorneys’ fees; and other further relief as the Court may deem proper.

Defendants accepted service of the complaint as of May 16, 2019. On June 4, 2019, the Court entered an order setting a briefing schedule for defendants’ motions to dismiss the complaint. On July 12, 2019, plaintiff filed a motion to preclude defendants from referencing in their motions to dismiss the formation of, or work by, the committee of the Board established to investigate plaintiff’s shareholder demand. On July 18, 2019, the Court denied plaintiff’s motion and adjourned sine die the deadline by which defendants must file any motions to dismiss the complaint.

On January 6, 2020, plaintiff filed his first amended complaint (“FAC”). The FAC includes many of plaintiff’s original allegations regarding the 2018 shareholder litigation and settlements, as well as additional allegations, including, among others, that the members of the Special Committee of the Board that investigated plaintiff’s demand lacked independence and wrongfully refused to pursue the claims in the demand; allegations that an agreement announced in November 2019 for, among other things, the sale by Xerox of its interest in Fuji Xerox to Fujifilm and dismissal of Fujifilm’s breach of contract lawsuit against Xerox (the “FX Sale Transaction”), was unfavorable to Xerox; and allegations about a potential acquisition by Xerox of HP similar to those in the Miami Firefighters derivative action described below. In addition to the claims in the April 11, 2019 complaint, the FAC adds as defendants Carl C. Icahn, Icahn Capital LP, and High River Limited Partnership (the “Icahn defendants”) and asserts claims against those defendants and the Board similar to those in Miami Firefighters relating to the Icahn defendants’ purchases of HP stock allegedly with knowledge of material nonpublic information concerning Xerox’s potential acquisition of HP. In addition to the relief sought in Ribbe’s prior complaint, the FAC seeks relief similar to that sought in Miami Firefighters relating to the Icahn defendants’ alleged purchases of HP stock.

On January 21, 2020, plaintiff in the Miami Firefighters action filed a motion seeking to intervene in Ribbe and to have stayed, or alternatively, severed and consolidated with the Miami Firefighters action, any claims first filed in Miami Firefighters and later asserted by Ribbe. At a conference held on February 25, 2020, the Court denied the motion to intervene without prejudice. On March 6, 2020, plaintiff in the Miami Firefighters action renewed its motion. On July 23, 2020, after hearing oral argument, the Court issued an order denying the motion and setting certain case deadlines.

Discovery commenced. On August 7, 2020, Xerox, the director defendants, and the Icahn defendants filed separate motions to dismiss. On October 1, 2020, plaintiff filed a cross-motion seeking, among other relief, joinder of Xerox Holdings Corporation as a nominal defendant. Briefing on the motions to dismiss and plaintiff’s cross-motion was completed on October 16, 2020. On December 14, 2020, following oral argument, the Court issued a decision and order denying plaintiff’s cross-motion and granting defendants’ motions, dismissing the action in its entirety as to all defendants. Dismissal as to the Icahn defendants was conditioned on the filing of an affidavit, which the Icahn defendants filed on December 16, 2020, indicating whether defendant Icahn gained a profit or incurred a loss on purchases of HP stock during the relevant time period.

On April 7, 2021, plaintiff filed in the previously dismissed Ribbe I and XCCSL actions a motion seeking an award of attorneys’ fees of $1.5 and a service award of $10 thousand for benefits he allegedly obtained for Xerox and its stockholders. On June 4, 2021, the Court granted plaintiff’s fee application, in part, and awarded plaintiff attorneys’ fees in the amount of $125 thousand in the dismissed actions, which Xerox paid in July 2021. The Court denied plaintiff’s request for a service award.

Xerox 2021 Form 10-Q 38

Plaintiff had six months from January 13, 2021 in which to perfect his appeal of the Court’s December 14, 2020 dismissal order. Upon his application to the Appellate Division, plaintiff’s time to perfect the appeal was extended. On September 9, 2021, plaintiff filed a letter with the Appellate Division withdrawing and discontinuing his appeal of the dismissal order. As a result, the case is now concluded.

2.Miami Firefighters’ Relief & Pension Fund v. Icahn, et al.:

On December 13, 2019, alleged shareholder Miami Firefighters’ Relief & Pension Fund (“Miami Firefighters”) filed a purported derivative complaint in New York State Supreme Court, New York County on behalf of Xerox Holdings Corporation ("Xerox Holdings") (as nominal defendant) against Carl Icahn and his affiliated entities High River Limited Partnership and Icahn Capital LP (the "Icahn defendants"), Xerox Holdings, and all then-current Xerox Holdings directors (the "Directors"). Plaintiff made no demand on the Board before bringing the action, but instead alleges that doing so would be futile because the Directors lack independence due to alleged direct or indirect relationships with Icahn. Among other things, the complaint alleges that Icahn controls and dominates Xerox Holdings and therefore owes a fiduciary duty of loyalty to Xerox Holdings, which he breached by acquiring HP stock at a time when he knew that Xerox Holdings was considering an offer to acquire HP or had knowledge of the "obvious merits" of such potential acquisition, and that the Icahn defendants’ holdings of HP common stock have risen in market value by approximately $128 since disclosure of the offer.  The complaint includes four causes of action:  breach of fiduciary duty of loyalty against the Icahn defendants; breach of contract against the Icahn defendants (for purchasing HP stock in violation of Icahn’s confidentiality agreement with Xerox Holdings); unjust enrichment against the Icahn defendants; and breach of fiduciary duty of loyalty against the Directors (for any consent to the Icahn defendants’ purchases of HP common stock while Xerox Holdings was considering acquiring HP).  The complaint seeks a judgment of breach of fiduciary duties against the Icahn defendants and the Directors; a declaration that Icahn breached his confidentiality agreement with Xerox Holdings; a constructive trust on Icahn Capital and High River's investments in HP securities; disgorgement to Xerox Holdings of profits Icahn Capital and High River earned from trading in HP stock; payment of unspecified damages by the Directors for breaching fiduciary duties; and attorneys' fees, costs, and other relief the Court deems just and proper. On January 15, 2020, the Court entered an order granting plaintiff’s unopposed motion to consolidate with Miami Firefighters a similar action filed on December 26, 2019 by alleged shareholder Steven J. Reynolds against the same parties in the same court, and designating Miami Firefighters’ counsel as lead counsel in the consolidated action. On January 21, 2020, plaintiff filed a motion seeking to intervene in Ribbe v. Jacobson, et al., described above, and to have stayed, or alternatively, severed and consolidated with this action, any claims first filed in this action and later asserted by Ribbe. At a conference held on February 25, 2020, the Court denied the motion to intervene without prejudice. On March 6, 2020, plaintiff in the Miami Firefighters action renewed its motion. On July 23, 2020, after hearing oral argument, the Court issued an order denying the motion and setting certain case deadlines.

Discovery commenced. On August 10, 2020, the Xerox defendants and the Icahn defendants filed separate motions to dismiss. Briefing on the motions was completed on October 21, 2020. On December 14, 2020, following oral argument, the Court issued a decision and order granting defendants’ motions and dismissing the action in its entirety as to all defendants. Dismissal as to the Icahn defendants was conditioned on the filing of an affidavit, which the Icahn defendants filed on December 16, 2020, indicating whether defendant Icahn gained a profit or incurred a loss on purchases of HP stock during the relevant time period.

On December 23, 2020, plaintiff filed a motion seeking discovery related to the Icahn defendants’ losses resulting from their investment in HP. The motion was fully briefed on January 7, 2021. On January 15, 2021, the Court issued a decision and order denying the motion.

Also on January 15, 2021, plaintiff filed a notice of appeal of the December 14, 2020 dismissal order to the Appellate Division, First Department. On January 20, 2021, plaintiff filed a notice of appeal of the January 15, 2021 order denying its motion for discovery to the Appellate Division, First Department. On July 15, 2021, plaintiff filed its brief in connection with the appeals of the December 14, 2020 dismissal order and the January 15, 2021 discovery order. Briefing on plaintiff's appeal is complete and oral argument took place on October 26, 2021.

Xerox Holdings will vigorously defend against this matter. At this time, it is premature to make any conclusion regarding the probability of incurring material losses in this litigation. Should developments cause a change in our determination as to an unfavorable outcome, or result in a final adverse judgment or settlement, there could be a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial position in the period in which such change in determination, judgment, or settlement occurs.

Other Litigation

1.Xerox Holdings Corporation v. Factory Mutual Insurance Company and Related Actions:

On March 10, 2021, Xerox Holdings Corporation (“Xerox Holdings”) filed a complaint for breach of contract and declaratory judgment against Factory Mutual Insurance Company in Rhode Island Superior Court, Providence County seeking insurance coverage for business interruption losses resulting from the coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic. The complaint alleges that defendant agreed to provide Xerox Holdings with up to $1 billion in per-occurrence coverage for losses resulting from pandemic-related loss or damage to certain real and other property, including business interruption loss resulting from insured property damage; that the pandemic had inflicted significant physical loss or damage to property of Xerox Holdings and its direct and indirect customers; that Xerox Holdings’ worldwide actual and projected losses through the end of 2020 totaled in excess of $300 (and is still increasing); and that following Xerox Holdings' timely and proper claim in March 2020 for coverage under the “all risk” commercial property insurance policy it had purchased from defendant, defendant improperly denied and rejected coverage for most of the claim. The complaint seeks a jury trial, a declaratory judgment against defendant declaring that Xerox is entitled to full coverage of costs and losses under defendant’s policy and declaring that defendant is required to pay for such costs and losses, subject to any applicable limits; damages in an amount to be determined at trial; consequential damages; attorneys’ fees and costs; pre- and post-judgment interest; and other relief the Court deems just and proper. Also on March 10, 2021, subsidiaries of Xerox Holdings filed similar complaints and related requests for arbitration in Toronto, London, and Amsterdam for Canadian, UK and European losses.

Xerox Holdings consented to defendant’s request for an extension of its time in which to answer or otherwise respond to the complaint. On May 6, 2021, FMG filed its answer to the complaint. The parties thereafter agreed to stay all non-U.S. proceedings pending the outcome of the U.S. litigation.

Guarantees

We have issued or provided approximately $295 of guarantees as of September 30, 2021 in the form of letters of credit or surety bonds issued to i) support certain insurance programs; ii) support our obligations related to the Brazil contingencies; and iii) support certain contracts, primarily with public sector customers, which require us to provide a surety bond as a guarantee of our performance of contractual obligations.

In general, we would only be liable for the amount of these guarantees in the event we defaulted in performing our obligations under each contract, the probability of which we believe is remote. We believe that our capacity in the surety markets as well as under various credit arrangements (including our Credit Facility) is sufficient to allow us to respond to future requests for proposals that require such credit support.

ITEM 2 — MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Throughout the Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A), 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,” 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.

Currently, 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 Quarterly Report on 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.

In connection with Xerox Holdings Corporation's announcement of the formation of the CareAR software business in the third quarter 2021, the ownership of CareAR Holdings LLC was transferred from Xerox Holdings Corporation to Xerox Corporation.

Refer to Note 1 - Basis of Presentation in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the change in ownership of CareAR Holdings LLC.

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.

Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business Operations

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we continue to prioritize the health and safety of our employees, customers and partners and support their needs so they can perform their work flawlessly, whether in the workplace or a remote location.

During the third quarter 2021, our business continued to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The prolonged and extensive impact of the Delta variant drove many of our customers to delay their plans to return employees to workplaces. As a result, while we continued to see a correlation between the roll-out of vaccinations, the return of employees to the workplace, and the gradual recovery of our post sale revenues, the marginal improvement in our page-volume-driven post sale revenues was less than previously anticipated. In addition, global supply chain issues, created in part by the COVID-19 pandemic, have resulted in an unprecedented level of disruption that has led to shortages and transportation delays of our products and third-party IT hardware. This has resulted in lower than anticipated equipment and IT sales, higher transportation and logistics costs and growth of our order backlog1 at the end of the quarter, as our customers continued to invest in our print technology and services. We expect the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the potential emergence of new variants, as well as global supply chain disruptions, to delay economic recovery and continue to affect our revenues and margins into 2022.

We have a strong balance sheet and sufficient liquidity, including approximately $2.3 billion of cash and cash equivalents and access to our undrawn $1.8 billion revolver. With our Project Own It transformation and cost savings, we have built a leaner and more flexible cost structure. In addition, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, various governments continued to employ temporary measures to provide aid and economic stimulus directly to companies through cash grants and credits or indirectly through payments to temporarily furloughed employees. We recognized savings from the use of such measures in the U.S., Canada and Europe. We continue to monitor government programs and actions being implemented, or expected to be implemented, to counter the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The savings from temporary government assistance were recorded as follows in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income:

Overview

Third Quarter 2021 Review

Total revenue of $1.76 billion for third quarter 2021 decreased 0.5% from third quarter 2020, including a 1.1-percentage point favorable impact from currency. Total revenue reflected an increase of 1.7% in Post sale revenue, including a 1.2-percentage point favorable impact from currency and a decrease of 7.6% in Equipment sales revenue, including a 0.8-percentage point favorable impact from currency.

Total revenue of $5.26 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased 3.3% as compared to the prior year period, including a 2.5-percentage point favorable impact from currency. Total revenue reflected an increase of 0.6% in Post sale revenue, including a 2.4-percentage point favorable impact from currency and an increase of 13.6% in Equipment sales revenue, including a 2.6-percentage point favorable impact from currency.

As the third quarter 2021 progressed, we saw an increase in the supply chain challenges we experienced in the second quarter 2021. Specifically, raw material and component shortages limited the availability of certain of our products, particularly with respect to our mid-range devices. Transportation constraints and labor shortages extended delivery times and increased unit shipping costs above normal levels. These challenges caused equipment revenue to fall short of our expectations. However, demand for our products remains strong, resulting in further growth of our order backlog1 for equipment and I/T hardware. Post sale revenue in the third quarter fell below our expectations, as the Delta variant disrupted many companies’ plans to return workers to the workplace. While business closures and limited office occupancy as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to affect our

Xerox 2021 Form 10-Q 42

revenues, the progress of vaccinations and the gradual reopening of workplaces resulted in higher sequential and year-over-year page volumes in third quarter 2021.

Net income attributable to Xerox Holdings and adjusted2 Net income attributable to Xerox Holdings were as follows:

						Three Months Ended September 30,																		Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in millions)						2021						2020						B/(W)						2021						2020						B/(W)
Net income attributable to Xerox Holdings						$	90					$	90					$	—					$	220					$	115					$	105
Adjusted(2) Net income attributable to Xerox Holdings						90						105						(15)						231						191						40

Third quarter 2021 Net income attributable to Xerox Holdings was flat as compared to third quarter 2020 reflecting lower Income tax expense, as well as lower Selling, administrative and general expenses, in part due to lower bad debt expense, as well as lower Restructuring and related costs, net and Other expenses, net. These benefits were all offset by lower gross profit reflecting lower revenues and higher logistics costs associated with product supply constraints as well as the reduction of benefits from temporary government assistance and furlough measures. Third quarter 2021 Adjusted2 net income attributable to Xerox Holdings decreased $15 million as compared to the prior year, primarily reflecting lower gross profit due to lower revenues and higher logistics costs associated with product supply constraints as well as the reduction of benefits from temporary government assistance and furlough measures, which were partially offset by lower Income tax expense and Selling, administrative and general expenses, in part due to lower bad debt expense, as well as lower Other expenses, net.

Net income attributable to Xerox Holdings for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased $105 million as compared to the prior year period primarily reflecting higher revenues and lower bad debt expense, as well as lower non-service retirement-related costs, Restructuring and related costs, net, Transaction and related costs, net and Income tax expense. These benefits were partially offset by reduced temporary government assistance and furlough measures, as well as higher freight costs, which reduced gross profit. Adjusted2 net income attributable to Xerox Holdings for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased $40 million as compared to the prior year, primarily due to higher revenue, lower bad debts expense and Income tax expense. These benefits were partially offset by reduced temporary government assistance and furlough measures as well higher freight costs, which reduced gross profit.

Cash flows provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $431 million, as compared to $313 million in the prior year period, which includes the receipt of an upfront prepaid fixed royalty from FUJIFILM Business Innovation Corp. (formerly Fuji Xerox) (FX) of $100 million and higher cash from working capital, net3, partially offset by a lower run-off of finance receivables. Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $54 million reflecting capital expenditures of $52 million and acquisitions of $38 million, which were partially offset by proceeds from sales of assets of $39 million. Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $793 million reflecting $500 million for repurchases of our Common Stock, payments of $444 million on secured financing arrangements, partially offset by proceeds of $311 million on a secured financing arrangement and dividend payments of $157 million.

2021 Outlook

Given the continued uncertainty associated with global supply chains and a delay in many companies’ plans to return to workplaces until 2022, we are lowering our revenue guidance to approximately $7.1 billion, or $7.0 billion at constant currency2. However, our focus on cash gives us confidence to reaffirm our free cash flow guidance and we plan to continue our capital allocation policy of returning at least 50% of our annual free cash flow to shareholders, as disclosed in our 2020 Annual Report. We expect operating cash flows to be approximately $580 million, with capital expenditures of approximately $80 million. Additionally, a new share repurchase authorization of $500 million was approved by our Board of Directors in October 2021, which will be used opportunistically to repurchase shares.

Third quarter 2021 total revenue decreased 0.5% as compared to third quarter 2020, including a 1.1-percentage point favorable impact from currency, while total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased 3.3% as compared to the prior year period, including a 2.5-percentage point favorable impact from currency and an approximate 0.5-percentage point favorable impact from recent partner dealer acquisitions. Total revenue for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 reflected global product supply constraints and freight disruptions (as a result of container shortages and transportation congestion) which limited our ability to fulfill orders and resulted in growth of our order backlog. While business closures and limited office occupancy as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic (particularly the Delta variant) continue to affect our revenues, the progress of vaccinations and the gradual reopening of workplaces resulted in higher sequential and year-over-year page volumes in the third quarter 2021.

Geographically, revenue increased more significantly in our EMEA operations for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, where we have a larger presence across SMB businesses which have had a faster recovery and greater resiliency against pandemic resurgences. Revenue decreased in our North American operations, which were more significantly impacted by freight disruptions that were further amplified by labor shortages within the transportation industry. North America also has a higher proportion of large enterprise customers, who are generally experiencing a slower pace of return to workplaces.

Total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 reflected the following:

Post sale revenue

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 are 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 primarily from our XBS organization in the U.S.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, Post sale revenue increased 1.7% as compared to third quarter 2020, including a 1.2-percentage point favorable impact from currency, while Post sale revenue increased 0.6% for

the nine months ended September 30, 2021, including a 2.4-percentage point favorable impact from currency. Post sale revenue reflected the following:

•Services, maintenance and rentals revenue includes rental and maintenance revenue (including bundled supplies) as well as the post sale component of our managed print and document services offerings. While these revenues are contractual in nature, our bundled services contracts generally include a fixed minimum charge and a significant variable component based on print volumes.

◦For the three months ended September 30, 2021, these revenues decreased 1.4% as compared to third quarter 2020, including a 1.1-percentage point favorable impact from currency, reflecting the impact of lower royalty revenue and lower third-party financing commissions (resulting from higher XFS lease penetration of our XBS operations), as well as a lower net population of devices, and an ongoing competitive price environment, partially offset by modestly higher page volumes corresponding with the gradual reopening of workplaces.

◦For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, these revenues decreased 2.5% as compared to the prior year period, including a 2.4-percentage point favorable impact from currency, reflecting the impact of lower royalty revenue and lower third-party financing commissions (resulting from higher XFS lease penetration of our XBS operations), a lower population of devices (which is partially associated with lower installs in prior periods), an ongoing competitive price environment, and lower page volumes during first quarter 2021 (including a higher mix of lower average-page-volume products).

•Supplies, paper and other sales includes unbundled supplies and other sales.

◦For the three months ended September 30, 2021, these revenues increased 16.4% as compared to third quarter 2020, including a 1.3-percentage point favorable impact from currency and primarily reflected higher supplies and paper revenues consistent with the gradual reopening of workplaces, which drove higher demand. We also saw a marginal improvement in inventories carried by channel partners, as confidence in the recovery continued to moderately improve. The increase also reflected higher IT revenues, driven by higher demand for our offerings, but partially dampened by IT hardware product constraints.

◦For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, these revenues increased 17.7% as compared to the prior year period, including a 2.5-percentage point favorable impact from currency, reflecting primarily higher supplies revenues, as well as higher paper sales, consistent with the gradual reopening of workplaces, which drove higher demand.

•Financing revenue is generated from financed equipment sale transactions. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, these revenues were flat as compared to third quarter 2020, including a 2.3-percentage point favorable impact from currency, while Financing revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 decreased 2.4%, including a 2.4-percentage point favorable impact from currency. The decrease at constant currency1 reflected a lower finance receivables balance due to the pace of run-off of our lease portfolio and lower equipment sales in prior periods, as well as the impact of lower equipment sales in the third quarter 2021. However, lease originations increased for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the respective prior year periods primarily as a result of higher XFS lease penetration from our XBS sales unit.

Equipment sales revenue decreased 7.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to third quarter 2020, including a 0.8-percentage point favorable impact from currency partially offset by the impact of price declines of less than 5%, while for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, Equipment sales revenue increased 13.6% as compared to the prior year period, including a 2.6-percentage point favorable impact from currency partially offset by the impact of price declines of less than 5%.

The decrease in Equipment sales revenue in the third quarter 2021 reflected the adverse impact of product supply constraints (consistent with market-wide shortages of computer chips and resins) and global freight disruptions that were further amplified by labor shortages within the transportation industry. Demand continued to increase as businesses reopened, resulting in a backlog of orders at the end of the quarter that increased sequentially and was above both prior year and pre-pandemic levels. Equipment sales revenue increased in EMEA, as the impact of supply chain disruptions was offset by higher demand from our indirect channels serving SMB, and from large government deals (in Europe and certain developing market regions). Equipment sales revenue decreased in our Americas operations as freight disruptions (from container shortages and transportation congestion) were more prevalent in the U.S. than abroad. The supply chain disruption impacted the availability of our mid-range devices most significantly. The increase in Equipment sales revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is partially the result of a favorable compare to the respective prior year period, as businesses were extensively shut down in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Equipment sales revenue increased at a higher pace through our indirect channels primarily in EMEA, as well as in the U.S. Sales of office-centric devices led the increase of these revenues (as businesses re-open and prepare for a broader return to workplaces), while sales of high-end production systems, which demand larger capital investments, had a more moderate increase. Equipment sales were significantly impacted by global freight disruptions and product supply constraints (the result of market-wide shortages of computer chips and resins).

The change at constant currency1 reflected the following:

•Entry - The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to third quarter 2020, was driven by higher demand for our printers and MFPs through our indirect channels in EMEA and the Americas. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the prior year period, was driven by higher demand for our lower-end printers and MFPs through our indirect channels primarily in EMEA as well as in the Americas, which included markedly higher installs related to government deals in the developing regions of EMEA. While sales increased across this portfolio, we experienced an unfavorable mix from significantly higher sales of our lower-end black-and-white devices.

•Mid-range - The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to third quarter 2020, was primarily driven by the significant impact of global product supply constraints and freight disruptions that had a more severe effect on our U.S. operations. The decrease also reflected unfavorable mix from growth in black-and-white devices. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the prior year period, was driven by higher demand primarily from EMEA and our indirect channels in the U.S., consistent with the gradual reopening of workplaces, as compared to business shutdowns that reduced purchases of office devices in the prior year period.

•High-end - The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to third quarter 2020, primarily reflected the impact of global product supply constraints and freight disruptions, resulting in lower sales of color systems in the U.S., partially offset by higher sales of black-and-white systems corresponding with our customers' refresh cycles. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the prior year period, reflected primarily improvement in sales of devices in the lower-end of the range and to SMB customers, as well as sales of black-and-white systems corresponding with our customers' refresh cycles, while sales of larger color production engines continued to be depressed as a result of our customers' delayed capital investment decisions as well as the impact of global product supply constraints and freight disruptions, resulting in lower sales of color systems in the U.S.

Total Installs

Installs reflect only new placements of devices (i.e., measure does not take into account removal of devices which may occur as a result of contract renewals or cancellations). 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 installed by our XBS sales unit. Detail by product group (see Geographic Sales Channels and Products and Offerings Definitions) is shown below.

Installs for the three months ended September 30, 2021:

Entry

•17% increase in color multifunction devices reflecting higher installs of ConnectKey devices through our indirect channels primarily in EMEA, as well as in North America.

•7% decrease in black-and-white multifunction devices reflecting lower installs as a result of product constraints and a larger number of installs of black-and-white devices in the prior year, primarily associated with work-from-home demand associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mid-Range

•1% increase in mid-range color installs primarily reflecting higher installs of our recently launched new-generation of ConnectKey multi-function printers, and the impact of freight disruption and product constraints.

•20% increase in mid-range black-and-white installs primarily in EMEA, reflecting higher installs of our recently launched new-generation of ConnectKey multi-function devices.

High-End

•7% decrease in high-end color installs primarily reflecting the impact of global product constraints and freight disruption that resulted in lower installations of color systems in the U.S.

•34% increase in high-end black-and-white systems reflecting higher installs of our Nuvera devices related to cyclical account refreshes.

Installs for the nine months ended September 30, 2021:

Entry

•13% increase in color multifunction devices reflecting higher installs of ConnectKey devices through our indirect channels in EMEA and North America.

•40% increase in black-and-white multifunction devices reflecting higher activity primarily from low-end devices through indirect channels in the Americas, and from developing regions in EMEA, which included large order government deals.

Mid-Range(2)

•22% increase in mid-range color installs primarily in EMEA, reflecting higher installs of our recently launched new-generation of ConnectKey multi-function printers, as well as our PrimeLink entry-production color devices.

•22% increase in mid-range black-and-white installs reflecting higher installs of our recently launched new-generation of ConnectKey multi-function devices, as well as our PrimeLink entry-production color devices.

High-End(2)

•19% increase in high-end color installs reflecting primarily growth from our lower-end Versant devices as well as our Iridesse and iGen production systems partially offset by lower installs of our higher-end production presses.

•33% increase in high-end black-and-white systems reflecting higher installs of our Nuvera devices primarily related to cyclical account refreshes in the U.S.

Pre-tax Income Margin

Third quarter 2021 pre-tax income margin of 4.8% decreased 1.9-percentage points as compared to third quarter 2020. The decrease primarily reflected the impact of lower adjusted1 operating margin (see below), partially offset by lower Restructuring and related costs, net and Other expenses, net.

Pre-tax income margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 of 4.5% increased 1.6-percentage points as compared to the prior year period. The increase primarily reflected the impact of lower Restructuring and related costs, net, Transaction and related costs, net and Other expenses, net, while adjusted1 operating margin was flat as compared to the prior year period.

Adjusted1 Operating Margin

Third quarter 2021 adjusted1 operating margin of 4.2% decreased by 3.2-percentage points as compared to third quarter 2020, reflecting the impact of higher freight costs and lower revenues associated with product supply constraints, as well as a reduction of temporary government assistance and furlough measures, lower royalty revenues and third-party lease commissions, partially offset by lower bad debt expenses and cost and expense reductions associated with our Project Own It transformation actions.

Adjusted1 operating margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 of 5.5% was flat as compared to the prior year period, reflecting an approximate 1.8-percentage point favorable impact from lower bad debt expense due to a higher provision in the prior year to reflect the expected impact to our trade and finance receivable portfolio from the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, cost and expense reductions associated with our Project Own It transformation actions as well as higher revenues, primarily due to the significant effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business during the prior year period, favorably impacted adjusted1 operating margin. These favorable factors were partially offset by a $66 million reduction of temporary government assistance and furlough measures and higher freight costs associated with product supply constraints, which lowered gross profit.

Gross Margin

Third quarter 2021 gross margin of 32.4% decreased by 4.4-percentage points as compared to third quarter 2020, reflecting unfavorable impacts of approximately 2.9-percentage points associated with supply chain costs and capacity restrictions (including significantly higher freight and shipping costs and constrained availability of higher margin equipment), and 0.6-percentage points associated with investments to support future growth. The remainder of the decline reflects the impact of lower savings from temporary government assistance and furlough measures, net of Project Own It savings, as well as the impact from an ongoing competitive price environment and lower royalty revenues.

Gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 of 34.6% decreased by 3.2-percentage points as compared to the prior year period, reflecting unfavorable impacts of approximately 1.5-percentage points associated with supply chain costs and capacity restrictions (including significantly higher freight and shipping costs and constrained availability of higher margin equipment) and 0.5-percentage points associated with investments to support future growth. The remainder of the decline reflects the impact of lower savings from temporary government assistance and furlough measures and from an ongoing competitive price environment. These headwinds were partially offset by the cost savings from our Project Own It transformation actions.

Third quarter 2021 equipment gross margin of 18.3% decreased by 7.2-percentage points as compared to third quarter 2020, reflecting the impact of higher freight costs and lower revenues associated with product supply constraints and an unfavorable mix of sales through our EMEA channel and of lower margin Entry products, as well as the impacts of price declines.

Equipment gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 of 24.9% decreased by 1.8-percentage points as compared to the prior year period, primarily reflecting the impact of higher freight costs associated with product supply constraints, as well as the impact of price declines and an unfavorable mix of growth in low-end devices, partially offset by higher revenues and favorable transaction currency.

Third quarter 2021 Post sale gross margin of 36.4% decreased by 3.9-percentage points as compared to third quarter 2020, reflecting the impact of contracted service and maintenance revenues, and lower savings from temporary government assistance and furlough measures, as well as pricing pressure on contract renewals and lower royalty revenues and third-party lease commissions, partially offset by productivity and cost savings and restructuring savings associated with Project Own It transformation actions.

Post sale gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 of 37.5% decreased by 3.2-percentage points as compared to the prior year period, reflecting the impact of contracted service and maintenance revenues, and lower savings from temporary government assistance and furlough measures and the impact of pricing pressure on contract renewals, as well as lower royalty revenues and third-party lease commissions, partially offset by productivity and cost savings and restructuring savings associated with Project Own It transformation actions.

Third quarter 2021 RD&E as a percentage of revenue of 4.7% increased by 0.4-percentage points as compared to third quarter 2020, as a result of revenue declines that outpaced the rate of investments.

RD&E of $82 million increased $6 million as compared to third quarter 2020 primarily reflecting investments in our innovation portfolio and the reversal of 401(k) matching contributions in the third quarter 2020, partially offset by savings from restructuring and productivity as well as benefits from the timing of program development cycles.

RD&E as a percentage of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 of 4.5% decreased by 0.1-percentage points as compared to the prior year period, as a result of higher revenues and Project Own It cost reductions, that outpaced the rate of investments.

RD&E for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 of $235 million decreased $1 million as compared to the prior year period, primarily reflecting the benefits from the timing of program development cycles, as well as savings from restructuring and productivity, partially offset by investments in our innovation portfolio.

Selling, Administrative and General Expenses (SAG)

Third quarter 2021 SAG as a percentage of revenue of 23.5% decreased by 1.6-percentage points as compared to third quarter 2020, primarily as a result of a lower bad debt provision and lower selling and administrative expenses which more than offset lower revenues.

Third quarter 2021 SAG of $413 million decreased by $31 million as compared to third quarter 2020, including a $20 million benefit from a lower bad debt provision. The remaining decrease reflected the impact of productivity and cost savings from our Project Own It transformation actions, partially offset by lower benefits from temporary government assistance and furlough measures, higher compensation related accruals (corresponding with higher expected operating results) and other investments in the business to support future growth, as well as the reversal of the accrual for 401(k) matching contributions in the third quarter 2020 and the adverse impact from translation currency.

SAG as a percentage of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 of 24.6% decreased by 3.1-percentage points as compared to the prior year period, primarily as a result of an approximate 1.8-percentage point favorable impact from lower bad debt expense due to a higher provision in the prior year to reflect the expected impact to our trade and finance receivable portfolio from the COVID-19 pandemic. The remaining decrease was primarily due to the impact of higher revenues and lower selling expenses as a result of cost savings and restructuring associated with our Project Own It transformation actions, and savings from additional cost reduction actions to mitigate the impact of the pandemic (including reductions in discretionary spend such as near-term targeted marketing programs).

SAG for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 of $1,295 million decreased by $116 million as compared to the prior year period, primarily reflecting lower bad debt expenses, as well as cost savings and restructuring savings associated with our Project Own It transformation actions and from additional cost reduction actions to mitigate the impact of the pandemic (including reductions in discretionary spend such as near-term targeted marketing programs), partially offset by an approximate $30 million adverse impact from translation currency, higher compensation related accruals (corresponding with higher expected operating results) and other investments in the business to support future growth, as well as the impact of lower benefits from temporary government assistance and furlough measures and higher expenses from prior year acquisitions.

Our bad debt provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 of $9 million decreased by $94 million as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the prior year reflecting an approximate $60 million incremental provision to cover estimated write-offs on our trade and finance receivable portfolio from the COVID-19 pandemic, while 2021 reflected finance receivable reserve reductions, in the second quarter and third quarter 2021 of approximately $6 million and $14 million, respectively, and lower reserves for trade receivables. The 2021 reductions in our Finance and Trade reserves reflect improvements in the macroeconomic environment as well as lower write-offs. Although actual finance receivable write-offs incurred to date continued to lag expectations, we believe our current reserve position remains sufficient to cover expected future losses that may result from future economic conditions. Despite the improvement in the global economy, significant uncertainties remain as local economies continue to recover from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic including the cessation of government support as well as labor, interest rate and inflation risks and the potential for higher taxes. As a result of these uncertainties, we continue to consider various adverse macroeconomic scenarios in our models. Accordingly, our reserves as a percent of receivables have remained fairly consistent subsequent to the first quarter 2020 charge of approximately $60 million to initially record expected losses from the COVID-19 pandemic. We continue to monitor developments regarding the pandemic, including business closures and reopenings and mitigating government support actions as well as future economic conditions, and as a result our reserves may need to be updated in future periods. On a trailing twelve-month basis (TTM), bad debt expense was approximately 1.0% of total receivables (excluding the second and third quarter 2021 reductions of $6 million and $14 million, respectively), which is consistent with the pre-pandemic trend and reflects the consistent level of reserves subsequent to the first quarter 2020 charge.

Refer to Note 7 - Accounts Receivable, Net and Note 8 - Finance Receivables, Net in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our bad debt provision.

New Business Strategy

As disclosed in our 2020 Annual Report, in January 2021 we announced our intention to stand up our Software, Financing and Innovation businesses as separate units by 2022. At this stage, the operations and financial results for these units continue to be primarily managed by and reported in our “go-to-market” (GTM) sales channels. We have begun the process of reorganizing these new units from the GTM units but we have not progressed to the point where we have discrete and complete financial information for these new businesses. Accordingly, the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and management continue to manage the Company’s operations, including the products and services from these units, through the GTM sales channels and as result, we continue to have one operating and reportable segment.

We expect that the business and financial information for these new units, as well as the operational management of these businesses, will continue to be refined and improved during the fourth quarter 2021. Accordingly, a reassessment of our operating segments may be required beginning in 2022.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Our financial results through September 30, 2021 were impacted by ongoing COVID-19 related business closures and office building capacity restrictions, as well as supply chain and freight disruptions. However, we believe we have sufficient liquidity to manage the business through the economic disruption caused by this pandemic:

•The majority of our business is contractually based and most of our bundled services contracts include a fixed minimum as well as a variable component linked to excess print volumes, which provides us with a continuing stream of operating cash flow.

•As of September 30, 2021, total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $2,262 million and, apart from restricted cash of $53 million, was readily accessible for use. We have access to an undrawn $1.8 billion Credit Facility that matures in August 2022.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $431 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The $118 million increase in operating cash from the prior year period was primarily due to the following:

•$109 million decrease in pre-tax income before depreciation and amortization, provisions, gain on sales of businesses and assets, restructuring and related costs, net and defined benefit pension costs.

•$284 million increase from inventory primarily due to significant cash usage in 2020 as inventory levels increased because of lower demand resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

•$143 million increase from accounts payable primarily due to higher spending as compared to the prior year, partially offset by the timing of supplier and vendor payments.

•$132 million increase from other current and long-term liabilities, reflecting higher accruals from the increased level of operations as compared to the prior year.

•$93 million increase from accrued compensation primarily related to higher employee incentive accruals and year-over-year timing of employee incentive payments.

•$80 million increase primarily due to the receipt of an upfront prepaid fixed royalty from FX of $100 million for their continued use of the Xerox brand trademark subsequent to the termination of our technology agreement with them.

•$362 million decrease from accounts receivable primarily due to higher revenues as compared to the prior year, partially offset by the timing of collections.

•$188 million decrease from a lower net run-off of finance receivables due to an increased level of direct lease originations from our XBS sales unit as well as higher equipment sales.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $54 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The $169 million change from the prior year period was primarily due to the following:

•$156 million change due to two acquisitions completed in the current year for $37 million compared to four acquisitions in the prior year for $193 million.

•$11 million increase due to proceeds from the sales of non-core business assets of $38 million in the current year compared to $27 million in the prior year.

•Other investing, net includes $3 million of noncontrolling investments as part of our corporate venture capital fund.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $793 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The $1,217 million decrease in cash from the prior year period was primarily due to the following:

•$902 million decrease from net debt activity. 2021 reflects payments of $444 million on existing secured financing arrangements1 and $1 million of deferred debt issuance costs offset by proceeds of $311 million on a new secured financing arrangement. 2020 reflects proceeds of $1,507 million from a Senior Notes offering and $340 million from a secured financing arrangement offset by payments of $1,051 million on Senior Notes, $22 million on the secured financing arrangement and $13 million of deferred debt issuance costs.

•$350 million decrease due to share repurchases in the current year of $500 million compared to share repurchases of $150 million in the prior year.

•Other financing, net includes receipts for noncontrolling investments of $5 million in Eloque, a joint venture for the remote monitoring of critical infrastructure assets, and $10 million in CareAR Holdings LLC, a newly formed software business.

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 repurchased 3.7 million shares of its common stock for an aggregate $87 million, including fees, in third quarter 2021. Xerox Holdings Corporation repurchased 20.8 million shares of its common stock for an aggregate cost of $500 million, including fees, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The cumulative total of shares repurchased by Xerox Holdings Corporation under the current share repurchase program is 45.5 million shares for an aggregate cost of approximately $1,100 million, including fees. As of September 30, 2021, there was approximately $500 thousand of remaining share repurchase authorization.

In October 2021, Xerox Holdings Corporation's Board of Directors authorized a new $500 million share repurchase program (exclusive of any commissions and other transaction fees and costs related thereto), to be used opportunistically. The approximately $500 thousand of authority remaining under Xerox Holdings Corporation's previously authorized $1.1 billion share repurchase program was cancelled.

Shared Services Arrangements

In March 2019, as part of Project Own It, Xerox entered into a shared services arrangement with HCL Technologies (HCL) pursuant to which we transitioned certain global administrative and support functions, including, among others, selected information technology and finance functions, from Xerox to HCL. This transition was expected to be completed during 2020, however, it sustained some delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is now expected to be finalized by the end of 2021. HCL is expected to make certain ongoing investments in software, tools and other technology to consolidate, optimize and automate the transferred functions with the goal of providing improved service levels and significant cost savings. The shared services arrangement with HCL includes a remaining aggregate spending commitment of approximately $900 million over the next 5 years. However, we can terminate the arrangement at any time at our discretion, subject to payment of termination fees that decline over the term, or for cause.

In July 2021, Xerox entered into an arrangement with Tata Consulting Services (TCS), whereby TCS will provide business processing outsourcing services in support of our global finance organization. This will include the transition of all the finance processes currently being provided by HCL. These activities started to transition during the third quarter 2021 and are expected to be completed in fourth quarter 2021. The transition does not impact our minimum revenue commitments to HCL and will result in all of our finance business processing outsourcing services being provided by one vendor. TCS will leverage their existing technology and make additional investments as required to consolidate, optimize and automate the supported services with the goal of providing improved service levels and cost savings. The arrangement is initially for 6 years with a total contract value of approximately $160 million. We can terminate the arrangement subject to payment of termination fees that decline over the term.

We incurred net charges of $52 million and $49 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $152 million and $139 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, related to these shared services arrangements. The cost has been allocated to the various functional expense lines in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income based on an assessment of the nature and amount of the costs incurred for the various transferred functions prior to their transfer to HCL and TCS.

ServiceNow License Purchase

In June 2021, Xerox entered into a software services agreement with a system integrator that included Xerox's use of ServiceNow software licenses for a 5-year commitment of approximately $60 million. A portion of licenses obtained through this new arrangement are expected to be used by Xerox as part of a future project with the system integrator for the reengineering and restructure of Xerox's current global technical service force.

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 Japanese Yen, Euro and U.K. Pound Sterling. The fair market values of all our derivative contracts change with fluctuations in interest rates and/or currency exchange rates and are designed so that any changes in their values are offset by changes in the values of the underlying exposures. Derivative financial instruments are held solely as risk management tools and not for trading or speculative purposes. The related cash flow impacts of all of our derivative activities are reflected as cash flows from operating activities.

We 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. 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.

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 third quarter 2021 presentation slides available at www.xerox.com/investor.

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.

Adjusted Earnings Measures

•Net Income and EPS

•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.

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

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.

Other discrete, unusual or infrequent items: We excluded these items, when applicable, given their discrete, unusual or infrequent nature and its impact on our results for the period.

Xerox 2021 Form 10-Q 62

---

We believe the exclusion of these items allows investors to better understand and analyze the results for the period as compared to prior periods and expected future trends in our business.

Adjusted Operating Income and Margin

We calculate and utilize adjusted operating income and margin measures by adjusting our reported pre-tax 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.

Constant Currency (CC)

Refer to "Currency Impact" for a discussion of this measure and its use in our analysis of revenue growth.

Summary

Management believes that all of these non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional means of analyzing the current period’s results against the corresponding prior period’s results. 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. Our 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.

Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures and the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are set forth on the following tables:

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 — LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The information set forth under Note 20 – Contingencies and Litigation in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is incorporated by reference in answer to this item.

ITEM 1A — RISK FACTORS

Reference is made to the Risk Factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A of the combined Xerox Holdings Corporation and Xerox Corporation Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

You should carefully consider the following risk factor as well as the other information included, and risks described, in other sections of this Form 10-Q, including under the headings “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”, “Legal Proceedings”, “Selected Financial Data”, and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes thereto. The following risk factor has been updated from the risk factor contained in our combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The following risk could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations. The selected risk described below, however, is not the only risk 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.

If we are unsuccessful at addressing our business challenges, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected and our ability to invest in and grow our business could be limited.

We are in the process of addressing many challenges facing our business, including the COVID-19 pandemic. One set of challenges relates to dynamic and accelerating market trends, such as the declines in installations and printed pages, fewer devices per location and an increase in electronic documentation. A second set of challenges relates to changes in the competitive landscape. Our primary competitors are exerting increased competitive pressure in targeted areas and are entering new markets; our emerging competitors are introducing new technologies and business models. These market and competitive trends make it difficult to reverse the current declines in revenue over the past several years. A third set of challenges relates to our continued efforts to reduce costs and increase productivity in light of declining revenues. In addition, we are vulnerable to increased risks associated with our efforts to address these challenges given the markets in which we compete, as well as the broad range of geographic regions in which we and our customers and partners operate, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on those markets and regions, which is expected to continue in future periods. In connection with the formation of the CareAR software business, our business faces additional risks regarding whether CareAR’s service experience management platform will achieve expectations regarding customer adoption, integration with ServiceNow’s platform, and cost and carbon emission reduction, as well as the financial performance of CareAR, including projected revenue for fiscal years 2021 and 2022. If we do not succeed in these efforts, or if these efforts are more costly or time-consuming than expected, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected, which could limit our ability to invest in and grow our business.
