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,” and the “Company” refer collectively to both Xerox Holdings and Xerox unless the context suggests otherwise. References to "Xerox Holdings Corporation" refer to the stand-alone parent company and do not include its subsidiaries. References to "Xerox Corporation" refer to the stand-alone company and do not include its subsidiaries.
The accompanying 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 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K (2022 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 2022 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.
For convenience and ease of reference, we refer to the financial statement caption “Income (Loss) before Income Taxes and Equity Income” as “pre-tax income (loss)”.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the activity for both Xerox Holdings and Xerox for all periods presented, unless otherwise noted.
Goodwill
Our Goodwill, net balance was $2,716 and $2,820 at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. We assess Goodwill for impairment at least annually during the fourth quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The balance as of September 30, 2023 reflects the pre-tax write-off of $115 ($110 after-tax) of allocated Goodwill related to our donation of the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) business during the second quarter 2023. Refer to Note 6 - Divestiture for additional information regarding the PARC donation.
The Company's actual results for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as well as its latest projections for the full year 2023 are in line with expectations reviewed as part of our fourth quarter 2022 Goodwill qualitative assessment. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2023, we determined that we did not have a “triggering event” requiring a quantitative assessment of Goodwill.
If the Company's future performance varies from current expectations, assumptions, or estimates, including assumptions related to current macro-economic uncertainties, 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. We will continue to monitor developments throughout the remainder of 2023 including updates to our forecasts as well as discount rates and our market capitalization, and an update of our assessment and related estimates may be required in the future.
Xerox 2023 Form 10-Q 11
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:
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. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which defers the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in Topic 848.
There has been no material impact to date as a result of adopting these ASUs 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 2023:
Liabilities
In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations that requires entities that use supplier finance programs in connection with the purchase of goods and services to disclose the key terms of the programs and information about obligations outstanding at the end of the reporting period, including a rollforward of those obligations. The guidance does not affect the recognition, measurement or financial statement presentation of supplier finance program obligations. The new standard’s requirements to disclose the key terms of the programs and information about obligations outstanding were effective for our fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2023. The new standard’s requirement to disclose a rollforward of obligations outstanding will be effective for our fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2024. Refer to Note 7 - Supplementary Financial Information for the required disclosures effective January 1, 2023.
Financial Instruments
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures - Gross Write-offs. The amendments in this update eliminate the accounting guidance for Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs) by creditors while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructurings by creditors made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The amendments also require disclosure of current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables. The disclosure of current-period gross write-offs by year of origination is applicable for financing receivables and net investments in leases that are within the scope of ASC 326-20, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses - Measured at Amortized Cost. This update was effective for our fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2023. The provisions of this amendment are to be applied on a prospective basis. Refer to Note 9 - Finance Receivables, Net for required disclosures regarding gross write-offs by vintage year.
Other Updates
In 2023 and 2022, the FASB also issued the following ASUs, which could impact the Company in the future but currently did not have, nor are expected to have, a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption. Those updates are as follows:
•Disclosure Improvements: ASU 2023-06, Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. Since the Company is already subject to SEC disclosure requirements, this update was effective upon issuance.
•Business Combinations: ASU 2023-05, Business Combinations - Joint Venture Formation (Topic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement. This update is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2025.
Xerox 2023 Form 10-Q 12
•Liabilities: ASU 2023-04, Liabilities (Topic 405): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 121. The Company adopted this conforming guidance upon issuance in August 2023.
•Investments: ASU 2023-02, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force). This update is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2024.
•Leases: ASU 2023-01, Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements. This update is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2024.
•Fair Value Measurement: ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. This update is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2024.
•Derivatives and Hedging: ASU 2022-01, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging - Portfolio Layer Method. This update was effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2023.

_____________
(1)Geographic area data is based upon the location of the subsidiary reporting the revenue.
(2)Other sales include revenues associated with IT hardware.
(3)Includes revenues from maintenance agreements on sold equipment as well as IT services and revenues associated with service agreements sold through our channel partners.
(4)Primarily includes revenues from our Print and digital services outsourcing arrangements, including revenues from embedded operating leases in those arrangements, which were not significant.
(5)Primarily reflects sales through bundled lease arrangements.
(6)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 $131 at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The majority of the balance at September 30, 2023 will be amortized to revenue over the next 30 months.
Xerox 2023 Form 10-Q 13
Contract Costs: Incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract primarily include sales commissions paid to salespeople 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. 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:

Incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract | $ | 15 | $ | 15 | $ | 49 | $ | 43 | ||||||||||||||||||
Amortization of incremental direct costs | 16 | 17 | 48 | 51 |
The balance of deferred incremental direct costs net of accumulated amortization at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $126 and $125, 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. The balance of contract fulfillment costs and inducements net of accumulated amortization at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $7 and $10, respectively. The related amortization was $3 and $4 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, 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.
Xerox 2023 Form 10-Q 14
Note 4 – Segment Reporting
Our reportable segments are aligned with how we manage the business and view the markets we serve. We have two reportable segments - Print and Other, and Financing (FITTLE). Our two reportable segments are determined based on the information reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), our Chief Executive Officer (CEO), together with the Company’s management to evaluate performance of the business and allocate resources.
Our Print and Other segment includes the sale of document systems, supplies and technical services and managed services. The segment also includes the delivery of managed services that involve a continuum of solutions and services that help our customers optimize their print and communications infrastructure, apply automation and simplification to maximize productivity, and ensure the highest levels of security. This segment also includes IT services and software. The product groupings range from:
•“Entry”, which include A4 devices and desktop printers and multifunction devices that primarily serve small and medium workgroups/work teams.
•“Mid-Range”, which include A3 devices that generally serve large workgroup/work team environments as well as products in the Light Production product groups serving centralized print centers, print for pay and low volume production print establishments.
•“High-End”, which include production printing and publishing systems that generally serve the graphic communications marketplace and print centers in large enterprises.
Customers range from small and mid-sized businesses to large enterprises. Customers also include graphic communication enterprises as well as channel partners including distributors and resellers. Segment revenues also include commissions and other payments from our FITTLE segment for the exclusive right to provide lease financing for Xerox products. These revenues are reported as part of Intersegment Revenues, which are eliminated in consolidated revenues.
The FITTLE segment provides global leasing solutions and currently offers lease financing for direct channel customer purchases of Xerox solutions through bundled lease agreements and lease financing to end-user customers who purchase Xerox solutions through our indirect channels. Segment revenues primarily include financing income on sales-type leases (including month-to-month extensions) and leasing fees. Segment revenues also include gains/losses from the sale of finance receivables including commissions, fees on the sales of underlying equipment residuals and servicing fees.
In December 2022, the Company entered into a finance receivables funding agreement with an affiliate of HPS Investment Partners (HPS) pursuant to which the Company agreed to offer for sale, and HPS agreed to purchase, certain eligible pools of finance receivables on a monthly basis. During the second quarter 2023, the finance receivables funding agreement with HPS was amended to expand the pools of finance receivables eligible for sale and to include the sale of the underlying leased equipment to HPS. Refer to Note 9 - Finance Receivables, Net for additional information on the sale of receivables. In the third quarter 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with PEAC Solutions (a subsidiary of HPS) that named PEAC as the provider of certain leasing and financial services programs for non-Xerox equipment in the U.S. network of independent dealers and resellers.
Segment Policy
We derive the results of our business segments directly from our internal management reporting system. The accounting policies that the Company uses to derive its segment results are substantially the same as those used by the Company in preparing its consolidated financial statements. The segment results include a significant level of management estimates regarding the allocation of revenues such as finance income in bundled lease arrangements and other leasing revenues as well as the allocation of expenses for shared selling and administrative services. Accordingly, the financial results for the segments may not be indicative of the results the businesses would have as on a standalone basis or what might be presented for the businesses in stand-alone financial statements. The CODM measures the performance of each segment based on several metrics, including segment revenues and profit. The CODM uses these results, in part, to evaluate the performance of, and to allocate resources to each segment. The FITTLE segment also includes interest expense associated with allocated debt of the Company in support of its Finance Receivables, while no interest expense is allocated to the Print and Other segment.

Segment Reporting Change
During the second quarter 2023, as a result of the recent strategic shift in the Company’s approach to funding FITTLE’s growth through finance receivables funding agreements that involve the sale of lease receivables, the measures for FITTLE’s segment revenues and profits used by our CODM were recast as follows to correspond with this change in strategy:
•The management and oversight of the equipment on operating leases portion of our financing business was transferred from the FITTLE segment to the marketing and sales groups in the Print and Other segment since the finance receivable funding agreement currently exclude the sale of operating lease arrangements.
•The allocation of shared expenses as well as commissions and other payments made by the FITTLE segment to the Print and Other segment were recast to better reflect the operations of FITTLE in line with the change in strategic direction.
The recasting of our segment measures aligns with the financial information used by our CODM in evaluating our reportable segments’ performance and allocating resources. The prior period amounts have been recast to reflect the change in segment measures of revenue and profits.

Note 5 – 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:

Donation of Palo Alto Research Center (PARC)
On April 29, 2023, Xerox completed the donation of its Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) subsidiary to Stanford Research Institute International (SRI), a nonprofit research institute. The donation enables Xerox to focus on its core businesses and prioritize growth through its business technology solutions for customers in Print, as well as Digital Services and IT Services. The donation also allows PARC to reach its full potential through SRI’s resources and deep-tech expertise that will enable PARC to focus exclusively on the development of pioneering innovative technologies. The majority of patents held by PARC will be retained by Xerox with a perpetual license to use those patents being provided to SRI. Xerox, at its option, will also continue to receive certain research services from SRI. The donation resulted in a net charge of $132 in the second quarter 2023, which includes allocated Goodwill of $115, the carrying value of the net assets associated with PARC being donated of $13, and approximately $4 of other costs and expenses related to the donation. The allocation of Goodwill was based on the relative fair value of the PARC business to the total fair value for the Print and Other Segment/Reporting Unit, which it was part of prior to the donation. The estimated fair values of the PARC business as well as the Print and Other reporting unit are based on estimates and assumptions that are considered Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy. Xerox also recorded a net income tax benefit of $40 related to the donation for a net after-tax loss on the donation of $92. The donation is not expected to materially impact current estimates of future projections with respect to results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Supplier Finance Programs
The Company has a program through a financial institution that enables vendors and suppliers, at their option, to receive early payment for their invoices. The program operates in a similar manner to a purchasing card program, however with this program the Company receives invoices associated with those vendors and suppliers participating in the program and confirms and validates those invoices and amounts due before passing the invoices on to the financial institution for early payment at a discounted amount. The financial institution subsequently invoices the Company for the stated or full amount of the invoices paid early and we are required to make payment within 45 days of the statement date. The overall impact of the program generally results in the Company paying its supplier and vendor invoices consistent with their original terms. This program is generally available to all non-inventory vendors and suppliers. Spending associated with this program during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was approximately $30 and $90, respectively. All outstanding amounts related to the program are recorded within Accounts payable in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the associated payments are included in operating activities within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The amount due to vendors and suppliers participating in this program and included in was approximately $30 and $40 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

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, 2023 and 5.7% at December 31, 2022. The increase is primarily the result of slight increase in receivables aging.

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, $79 and $159 remained uncollected as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Accounts receivable sales activity was as follows:

(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 9 – Finance Receivables, Net

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 doubtful 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 3.7% at September 30, 2023 and 3.6% at December 31, 2022. Our finance receivable bad debt provision in the first quarter 2023 was a credit of $12 primarily related to a reserve release in the U.S. due to the favorable reassessment of the credit exposure on a large customer receivable balance after a contract amendment, which improved our credit position. The bad debt provision followed normal trends in the second and third quarter 2023 and is slightly higher than the prior year primarily due to increased lease originations partially offset by sales of finance lease receivables.
Our allowance for doubtful finance receivables is effectively determined by geography. The risk characteristics in our finance receivable portfolio segments are generally 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
Xerox 2023 Form 10-Q 22
economies, the risk profile within that portfolio segment is somewhat more diversified due to the varying economic conditions among and within the countries.
In determining the level of reserve required we critically assessed current and forecasted economic conditions and trends to ensure we objectively considered 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. We believe our current reserve position remains sufficient to cover expected future losses that may result from current and future macro-economic conditions including higher inflation, interest rates, and the potential for recessions in the geographic areas of our customers. We continue to monitor developments in future economic conditions and trends, 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-user customers through bundled lease arrangements, and indirect, which primarily includes leases originated through our XBS sales channel and 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. 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. 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 probable.

Sales of Receivables
In December 2022, the Company entered into a finance receivables funding agreement with an affiliate of HPS Investment Partners (HPS) pursuant to which the Company agreed to offer for sale, and HPS agreed to purchase, certain eligible pools of finance receivables on a monthly basis in transactions structured as "true sales at law" and bankruptcy remote transfers and we have received an opinion to that effect from outside legal counsel. Accordingly, the receivables sold were derecognized from our financial statements and HPS does not have recourse back to the Company for uncollectible receivables.
The finance receivables funding agreement has an initial term through January 31, 2024, with automatic one-year extensions thereafter, unless terminated by either the Company or HPS. Additionally, the Company will continue to service the lease receivables for a specified fee and will also be paid a commission on lease receivables sold under the finance receivables funding agreement.
During the second quarter 2023, the finance receivables funding agreement with HPS was amended to expand the pools of finance receivables eligible for sale and to include the sale of the underlying leased equipment to HPS. The commission paid by HPS was also accordingly amended to cover the value associated with the underlying equipment being sold to HPS. The company will retain a first right of refusal to repurchase the underlying equipment at the end of the lease term, to the extent offered for sale by HPS at its then fair value. The amendments were retroactive to prior sales but the adjusted impact on net proceeds and the gain/loss on prior sales was immaterial.
Of the finance receivables sold and derecognized from our balance sheet, $809 and $60 remained uncollected as of September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Note 12 – Restructuring Programs
We engage in restructuring actions and 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, 2023, we recorded Restructuring and related costs, net of $35, which includes $5 of net restructuring charges, $20 of asset impairment charges and $10 of related costs.
Restructuring Charges
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded net restructuring charges of $5, which included $13 of severance costs related to headcount reductions of approximately 180 employees worldwide. These costs were partially offset by $8 of net reversals, which primarily reflect changes in estimated reserves from prior period initiatives.
Charges were primarily related to the Print and Other segment as amounts related to the FITTLE segment were immaterial for all periods presented.
Information related to our restructuring programs is summarized below:

Note 13 – Debt
Revolving Credit Facility
In May 2023, Xerox Corporation, as borrower, and its parent company, Xerox Holdings Corporation, entered into a five-year asset-based revolving credit agreement (the ABL Facility) with Citibank, N.A., as administrative and collateral agent and several participating lending banks including Citibank N.A. The ABL Principal is payable in full at maturity on May 22, 2028, and there are no scheduled principal payments prior to maturity. We deferred approximately $7 of debt issuance costs in connection with the ABL Facility, which will be amortized over the five-year term. Our previous $250 Credit Facility due July 2024 was terminated prior to entering into the ABL Facility and resulted in a debt extinguishment loss of approximately $1 related to the write-off of deferred debt issuance costs.
Under the ABL Facility, Xerox Corporation may borrow up to the lesser of (x) $300 and (y) a borrowing base calculated based on working capital amounts (Accounts receivable and Inventories) as set forth in the ABL Facility Agreement. The ABL Facility includes an uncommitted accordion feature that allows Xerox Corporation to increase the facility by a total of up to $250, subject to obtaining additional commitments from existing lenders or new lending institutions. The ABL Facility also includes a $100 letter of credit subfacility. Xerox Corporation's borrowings under the ABL Facility are supported by guarantees from Xerox Holdings Corporation and certain of Xerox Corporation's Canadian and U.K. subsidiaries, and by security interests in substantially all of the working capital assets of Xerox Corporation, Xerox Holdings Corporation, and such Canadian and U.K. subsidiaries.
At Xerox Corporations’s election, the loans under the ABL Facility will bear interest at either:
(1) a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (A) Citibank’s base rate, (B) a rate of 0.5% in excess of the “NYFRB” rate, and (C) a rate of 1.0% in excess of one-month Term SOFR, provided that such fluctuating rate
Xerox 2023 Form 10-Q 31
shall not be less than 0.0%, in each case plus an applicable margin (the loans bearing interest at such fluctuating rate, “ABR Loans”); or
(2) the one-, three-, or six-month period or (as agreed to by the Agent and the Lenders) such other period, as selected by the Xerox Corporation, per annum Term SOFR (plus a 0.10% credit spread adjustment), provided that such rate shall not be less than 0.0%, plus an applicable margin (the loans bearing interest at such rate “Term SOFR Loans”).
The applicable margin for ABR Loans ranges from 0.5% to 1.0% depending on the Company’s average excess availability. The applicable margin for Term SOFR Loans from 1.5% to 2.0% depending on the Company’s average excess availability.
At September 30, 2023, borrowings under the ABL Facility were $220 and no letters of credits were issued under the facility. The $220 borrowing at September 30, 2023 currently bears interest at an average of 7.61% through October 30, 2023. If the balance remains outstanding after that date, the rate will be reset through a new borrowing under the ABL Facility. Based on management's intent to repay the amount borrowed by the end of 2023 and not refinance it past one year, the $220 is included in short-term debt in the Balance Sheet at September 30, 2023.
The ABL Facility requires the Company to comply with a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1X, as defined in the ABL Facility Agreement, measured as of the end of each fiscal quarter during which excess availability is less than an amount equal to the greater of (A) $22.5 and (B) 10% of the Line Cap (the lesser of the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments and the then-applicable Borrowing Base). Based on the excess availability at September 30, 2023, the fixed charge coverage ratio measurement was not applicable. The ABL Facility also contains negative covenants governing dividends, investments, indebtedness, and other matters customary for similar facilities. As of September 30, 2023, we were in full compliance with all covenants under the ABL Facility and no Event of Default (as such term is defined in the ABL Facility) had occurred.
If an event of default occurs under the ABL Facility, the entire principal amount outstanding, together with all accrued unpaid interest and other amounts owed in respect thereof, may be declared immediately due and payable, subject, in certain instances, to the expiration of applicable cure periods.
Loan Facility
On September 28, 2023, Xerox Corporation, as borrower, and its parent company, Xerox Holdings Corporation, and certain of Xerox’s subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into a Credit Agreement with Jefferies Finance LLC (Jefferies Finance), as the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Lender pursuant to which Jefferies Finance provided Xerox Corporation with a $555 loan facility, which was fully drawn at September 30, 2023. $542 of the proceeds from that borrowing were used to finance the repurchase of an aggregate of approximately 34 million shares of the Company’s common stock from Carl C. Icahn and certain of his affiliates pursuant to the terms of a related purchase agreement as disclosed in Note 17 – Shareholders’ Equity of Xerox Holdings. The remainder of the proceeds were used to cover fees and expenses associated with this borrowing (approximately $6, which will be deferred as debt issuance costs) and the repurchase transaction (approximately $11, which will be recorded as a cost of treasury stock).
The Loan Facility is a 5-year agreement with a final maturity date of September 28, 2028 and bears interest at an annual rate of 8.50%, which will be increased by 0.25% every 90 days, subject to a Total Cap rate of 11.0%. Xerox anticipates refinancing amounts borrowed under the Loan Facility with permanent long-term financing instruments in the near term. If any of the amounts borrowed under the Loan Facility are outstanding on the “Bridge Loan Rollover Date” (one year from closing or September 28, 2024) then the outstanding principal amount of such loans will automatically be converted into senior secured term loans (Extended Term Loans). These loans will mature and are due on final maturity date of September 28, 2028 and will bear interest at the Total Cap rate of 11.0%.
Xerox’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are initially unsecured obligations and are supported by guarantees from Xerox Holdings and its Canadian and U.K. subsidiaries that guarantee Xerox’s obligations under the ABL Facility (ABL Foreign Guarantors). On and after November 30, 2023, if any amounts under the Loan Facility remain outstanding, Xerox’s obligations under the Credit Agreement will also be guaranteed by each of its material domestic subsidiaries (subject to certain exclusions and exceptions) and secured by (i) a second priority lien on all working capital assets of Xerox, the ABL Foreign Guarantors and such additional domestic guarantors and (ii) a first priority lien on substantially all other assets of Xerox, the ABL Foreign Guarantors and such additional domestic guarantors.
The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default substantially similar with such provisions contained in Xerox’s ABL Facility.
Xerox 2023 Form 10-Q 32
Xerox Holdings Corporation/Xerox Corporation Intercompany Loan
At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the balance of the Xerox Holdings Corporation Intercompany Loan reported in Xerox Corporation’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was $1,497 and $1,496, respectively, which is net of related debt issuance costs, and the intercompany interest payable was $10 and $30, respectively.
Secured Borrowings and Collateral
In 2022 and 2021, we entered into secured loan agreements with various financial institutions where we sold finance receivables and rights to payments under our equipment on operating leases. In certain transactions, the sales were made to special purpose entities (SPEs), owned and controlled by Xerox where the SPEs funded the purchase through amortizing secured loans from the financial institutions. The loans have variable interest rates and expected lives of approximately 2.5 years, with half projected to be repaid within the first year based on collections of the underlying portfolio of receivables. For certain loans, we entered into interest rate hedge agreements to either fix or cap the interest rate over the life of the loan.
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 fully consolidate the SPEs in our financial statements. 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.
During the second quarter 2023, we repaid the remaining balance from the December 2022 U.S. Secured Borrowing of $185 early with the proceeds from the sale of the underlying secured finance receivables of approximately $205. The sale was part of the sales completed in the second quarter 2023 under finance receivables funding agreement as disclosed in Note 9 - Finance Receivables, Net - Sales of Receivables. As a result of the early extinguishment of this debt, we incurred a loss of approximately $3 related to the write-off of the deferred debt issuance costs partially offset by a gain on a dedesignated swap associated with this borrowing.
Below are the secured assets and obligations held by subsidiaries of Xerox, which are included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 14 – 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.
Cash Flow Hedges
We use interest rate swaps and caps to manage the exposure to variability in the interest rate payments on our secured loan agreements entered into over the last two years. The interest rate swaps convert the interest paid on certain loans to a fixed amount while the caps limit the maximum amount of interest paid. At September 30, 2023 there were three interest rate derivatives outstanding as follows:

No amount of ineffectiveness was recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) for these designated cash flow hedges and all components of each derivative's gain or loss were included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness.
A cash flow hedge of an interest rate cap with an asset value of $2 associated with the December 2022 U.S. Secured Borrowing was dedesignated during second quarter 2023 as a result of the early repayment of that debt in the second quarter 2023. The dedesignation resulted in the release of the deferred gain in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss and was recorded as part of the Early Extinguishment of Debt. See Secured Borrowings and Collateral in Note 13 – Debt for additional information.
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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had outstanding forward exchange and purchased option contracts with gross notional values of $951 and $1,541 respectively, with terms of less than 12 months. The decrease in the notional value amount is largely due to a decrease in our YEN exposures as a result of a change in the currency terms included in a supplier inventory contract. At September 30, 2023, approximately 92% of the contracts mature within three months, 4% mature in three to six months and 4% in six to twelve months.
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. No amount of ineffectiveness was recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) for these designated cash flow hedges for all periods presented, and all components of each derivative's gain or loss were included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness. The net liability fair value of these contracts was $6 and $4 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
During second quarter 2023, as a result of a change in the currency terms included in a supplier inventory contract, forecasted purchases of inventory in YEN were no longer expected. This change resulted in several YEN/USD and YEN/EUR designated cash flow hedges, with a liability value of approximately $2, being dedesignated since the underlying forecasted purchases were no longer probable. Accordingly, the $2 deferred loss in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss was reclassified to earnings and recorded in Currency losses, net in the second quarter 2023.

As of September 30, 2023, a net after-tax loss of $4 was recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with our cash flow hedging activity.
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:

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 15 – 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.

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.

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.

_____________
(1)The net actuarial (gain) loss for U.S. Pension Plans primarily reflects (i) the remeasurement of our primary U.S. pension plans as a result of the payment of periodic settlements and (ii) adjustments for the actuarial valuation results based on the January 1st plan census data. The non-U.S. net actuarial (gain) loss reflects remeasurements related to the Pension Plan amendments in the U.K. in 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Retiree Health Plan's net actuarial gain reflects adjustments for the actuarial valuation results based on the January 1st plan census data in 2023, and remeasurements related to a Plan Amendment for our U.S. Plan in 2022.
(2)Amounts represent the pre-tax effect included within Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income. Refer to Note 19 - Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income for related tax effects and the after-tax amounts.
Xerox 2023 Form 10-Q 38
Pension Plan Amendment
In April 2023, our U.K. defined benefit pension plan was amended, at the sole discretion of the Plan Trustees as legally allowed, to increase the capped inflation indexation for the April 2023 pension increase award to 6.5%. This plan amendment resulted in an increase of approximately $36 (GBP 28 million) in the projected benefit obligation (PBO) for this plan (approximately 1.5% of the plan PBO as of December 31, 2022). The associated impacts from the required remeasurement of the plan assets and obligations for updates to discount rates, actual returns and actuarial experience as of the effective date of the amendment resulted in an actuarial gain of $48 (GBP 38 million). Refer to Note 18 - Employee Benefit Plans in the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2022 Annual Report for additional information regarding our U.K. defined benefit pension plan including its funding status as of December 31, 2022.

Note 21 – 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, 2023 | December 31, 2022 | |||||||||||||
Tax contingency - unreserved | $ | 360 | $ | 340 | ||||||||||
Escrow cash deposits | 23 | 36 | ||||||||||||
Surety bonds | 98 | 80 | ||||||||||||
Letters of credit | 32 | 63 | ||||||||||||
Liens on Brazilian assets | — | — |
The increase in the unreserved portion of the tax contingency, inclusive of any related interest, was primarily due to currency 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 for the periods presented. 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
Miami Firefighters’ Relief & Pension Fund v. Icahn, et al.:
On December 13, 2019, alleged shareholder Miami Firefighters’ Relief & Pension Fund (Miami Firefighters) filed a derivative complaint in New York State Supreme Court, New York County on behalf of Xerox Holdings Corporation (Xerox Holdings) 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). Xerox Holdings was named as a nominal defendant in the case but no monetary damages are sought against it. Miami Firefighters alleges: 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). Miami Firefighters seeks a judgment of breach of fiduciary duties against the Icahn defendants and the Directors, and disgorgement to Xerox Holdings of profits Icahn Capital and High River earned from trading in HP
Xerox 2023 Form 10-Q 45
stock. This action was consolidated with a similar action brought by Steven J. Reynolds against the same parties in the same court. Miami Firefighters’ counsel has been designated as lead counsel in the consolidated action.
Claims asserted against the Directors were later dismissed.
In December 2021, the Xerox Holdings Board approved the formation of a Special Litigation Committee (SLC) to investigate and evaluate Miami Firefighters' claims and determine the course of action that would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The SLC concluded that the claims were without merit and pursuing them would not be in the best interest of Xerox or its shareholders. The SLC's request that those claims be dismissed is pending before a New York state appellate court.
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 (FM) in Rhode Island Superior Court, Providence County seeking insurance coverage for business interruption losses resulting from the coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic. Xerox Holdings alleges that FM 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 Xerox Holdings’ worldwide actual and projected losses through the end of 2020 totaled in excess of $300; and that FM incorrectly denied coverage for those losses. Xerox Holdings seeks full coverage of costs and losses under FM’s policy. Subsidiaries of Xerox Holdings filed similar complaints and related requests for arbitration in Toronto, London, and Amsterdam for Canadian, UK and European losses.
The parties have agreed to stay all non-U.S. proceedings pending the outcome of the U.S. litigation. The U.S. litigation is in abeyance as the Rhode Island Supreme Court prepares to hear another COVID-19 insurance coverage case against a FM affiliate with overlapping legal issues.
Guarantees
We have issued or provided approximately $246 of guarantees as of September 30, 2023 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; iii) support our obligations related to our U.K. pension plans; and iv) 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, or one of our direct or indirect subsidiaries whose obligations we have guaranteed, 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) that follows, references to “Xerox Holdings” refer to Xerox Holdings Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, while references to “Xerox” refer to Xerox Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. References herein to “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” refer collectively to both Xerox Holdings and Xerox unless the context suggests otherwise. References to "Xerox Holdings Corporation" refer to the stand-alone parent company and do not include its subsidiaries. References to "Xerox Corporation" refer to the stand-alone company and do not include its subsidiaries.
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 combined Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this Form 10-Q), and the information contained in such notes is incorporated by reference into the MD&A in the places where such references are made.
Xerox Holdings' other direct subsidiary is Xerox Ventures LLC, which was established in 2021 solely to invest in startups and early/mid-stage growth companies aligned with the Company’s innovation focus areas and targeted adjacencies. In January of 2023, all Xerox Ventures LLC investments were transferred and are held by Xerox Ventures Fund I, LLC, a subsidiary of Xerox Ventures LLC. Xerox Ventures Fund I, LLC had investments of approximately $24 million at September 30, 2023. Due to its immaterial nature, and for ease of discussion, Xerox Ventures LLC's results are included within the following discussion.
Currency Impact
To understand the trends in the business, we believe that it is helpful to analyze the impact of changes in the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. Dollars on revenue and expenses. We refer to this analysis as "constant currency," “currency impact” or “the impact from currency.” This impact is calculated by translating current period activity in local currency using the comparable prior year period's currency translation rate. This impact is calculated for all countries where the functional currency is the local country currency. We do not hedge the translation effect of revenues or expenses denominated in currencies where the local currency is the functional currency. Management believes the constant currency measure provides investors an additional perspective on revenue trends. Currency impact can be determined as the difference between actual growth rates and constant currency growth rates.
Overview
In the third quarter 2023, earnings and cash flow grew despite a decline in revenue, evidencing an ability to manage profitability amid fluctuations in revenue through strategic initiatives, cost efficiency actions and productivity. The decline in revenue for the third quarter 2023 reflects declines in certain transactional low-margin post-sale revenue categories, as well as declines in revenue associated with strategic actions put in place to simplify our business, partially offset by a stable demand for our products and services.
Equipment sales of $386 million in the third quarter 2023 declined 1.0% in actual currency, or 2.1% in constant currency1, primarily due to the prior year reduction in backlog2. Consistent with recent quarters, revenue trends outpaced equipment installation activity, due to favorable product and geographic mix, as well as higher prices. This was particularly true with our A3 products, which experienced unfavorable geographic mix effects in the prior year due to backlog2 reductions in EMEA. Entry A4 installations were lower again this quarter, due to the ongoing normalization of work-from-home trends. Post sale revenue of $1,266 million declined 7.0% in actual currency or 9.0% in constant currency1. Post sale declines were primarily driven by reductions in transactional items, most notably a significant decline in lower-margin paper sales and IT endpoint devices. Post sale revenue was further impacted by the termination of Fuji royalty income and specific strategic actions, resulting in lower financing and PARC revenue.
Pre-tax income increased year-over-year primarily due to the Goodwill impairment charge in the prior year period and lower RD&E expenses, Other expenses, net and Restructuring and related costs, net. Adjusted1 operating income was up slightly year-over-year as the effects of lower revenue and gross profit, along with higher incentive compensation and bad debt expenses, were offset by ongoing operating efficiencies and pricing actions.

Segment Reporting Change
During the second quarter of 2023, the Company recast FITTLE’s segment revenues and profits measures to reflect the recent strategic shift in the Company’s approach to funding FITTLE through finance receivable funding agreements that involve the sale of lease receivables. Refer to Note 4 - Segment Reporting in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding this reporting change.
Donation of Palo Alto Research Center (PARC)
On April 29, 2023, Xerox completed the donation of its Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) subsidiary to Stanford Research Institute International (SRI), a nonprofit research institute. Refer to Note 6 - Divestiture in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding this donation.

Third Quarter 2023 Review
Total revenue of $1.65 billion for third quarter 2023 decreased 5.7% from third quarter 2022, which included a 1.7-percentage point benefit from currency. Total revenue of $5.12 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 decreased 0.9% as compared to the prior year period, which included a 0.3-percentage point adverse impact from currency, as well as a 1.1-percentage point benefit from an acquisition.

Third quarter 2023 Net income attributable to Xerox Holdings was $49 million as compared to the third quarter 2022 Net (loss) attributable to Xerox Holdings of $(383) million. The increase in Net Income is primarily due to the Goodwill impairment charge in the prior year period, as well as lower RD&E expenses, Other expenses, net, and Restructuring and related costs, net. These favorable impacts were partially offset by lower revenue and gross profit, as well as higher Income tax expense. Third quarter 2023 Adjusted1 Net income attributable to Xerox Holdings of $77 million increased $44 million as compared to the prior year period, primarily reflecting lower RD&E expenses, Other expenses, net and Income tax expense. These favorable impacts were partially offset by lower revenue and gross profit.
Net income attributable to Xerox Holdings for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $59 million as compared to a Net (loss) attributable to Xerox Holdings of $(443) million in the prior year period. The increase in Net Income is primarily due to the Goodwill impairment charge in the prior year period, as well as higher gross profit, which includes the impact of lower supply chain-related costs, lower Selling, administrative and general expenses, lower RD&E expenses, and lower Other expenses, net. These favorable impacts were partially offset by the after-tax PARC donation charge of $92 million ($132 million pre-tax) in the second quarter 2023, as well as lower revenues and higher Income tax expense. Adjusted1 Net income attributable to Xerox Holdings for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 of $231 million increased $188 million as compared to the prior year period, primarily reflecting higher gross profit, which includes the impact of lower supply chain-related costs, as well as lower Selling, administrative and general expenses, RD&E expenses, and Other expenses, net. These favorable impacts were partially offset by lower revenue and higher Income tax expense.

Cash flows from operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was a source of $297 million and increased $324 million as compared to the prior year period, primarily related to higher net income as well as proceeds of approximately $850 million from the on-going sales of finance receivables under the finance receivables funding agreement, partially offset by higher finance receivable originations, and an increased use of cash for working capital1. Cash provided by investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $3 million, primarily reflecting gains from sales of non-core surplus business assets of $40 million, partially offset by capital expenditures of $27 million and acquisitions of $7 million. Cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $819 million primarily reflecting $544 million of share repurchases, as well as net debt payments of $131 million. Net debt payments include payments of $644 million on existing secured financing arrangements, which includes the early repayment of $185 million on a U.S. secured borrowing, and $300 million for Senior Notes that matured in 2023. These payments were partially offset by net proceeds of $549 million from the Bridge Loan Facility, which was used to fund the share repurchase, net proceeds of $213 million from the new Asset Based Loan Facility (ABL), and net proceeds of $52 million from the refinance of our Canadian securitization. The remaining use of cash was for dividend payments of $131 million.
____________________________
(1)Working capital, net reflects Accounts receivable, Billed portion of finance receivables, Inventories and Accounts payable.
We continue to expect total Revenue to be flat to down low-single-digits in constant currency1 for full-year 2023. There continues to be momentum in demand for our products and services in the Americas, particularly for our faster-growing Digital Services. However, during third quarter 2023 there has been a mild softening of demand in our European markets, reflecting weaker macroeconomic conditions. As a result, revenue is expected to come in at the lower end of the expected range. The Company expects a difficult equipment sales revenue comparison in the fourth quarter 2023 due to the significant prior year reduction in backlog2. Further, the headwinds affecting post sale revenue in third quarter 2023 are expected to persist in fourth quarter 2023. Due to better-than-expected profitability, reflecting the successful implementation of ongoing cost efficiency programs and a focus on generating profitable revenue, we expect full-year 2023 pre-tax and adjusted1 operating income and margin to increase over 2022 levels, with a slightly higher increase expected for adjusted1 operating margin. Lastly, we continue to expect Operating cash flows to be at least $650 million and capital expenditures to be approximately $50 million.

Third quarter 2023 total revenue decreased 5.7% as compared to third quarter 2022, and included a 1.7-percentage point benefit from currency. The decrease in equipment sales revenue at constant currency1 was primarily attributable to EMEA backlog reductions in the prior year quarter. This impact was partially offset by recent pricing actions and a favorable product and geographic mix. Post sale revenue decreased at constant currency1 due to the decline of lower-margin paper sales and IT endpoint device revenue, lower finance income, the termination of Fuji royalty income and PARC revenue. Contractual print services2 declined modestly, primarily due to lower service revenue from our economically-sensitive Production customers, and was partially offset by Digital and Managed IT Services revenue growth.
Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 decreased 0.9%, and included a 0.3-percentage point adverse impact from currency, as well as a 1.1-percentage point benefit from an acquisition. The decrease at constant currency1 revenue is attributable to a decrease in Post sale revenue due to the decline in lower-margin paper sales and IT hardware revenue, lower finance income, and the termination of Fuji royalty income and PARC revenue. Contractual print services revenue2 declined modestly, primarily due to lower service revenue from our economically-sensitive Production customers, and was partially offset by Digital and Managed IT Services revenue growth, which included the benefits of an acquisition. Growth in Equipment sales revenue, partially offset the decline in Post sale revenue, reflecting a stable demand environment, improved product supply, recent pricing actions, and a favorable mix.
Xerox 2023 Form 10-Q 50
Geographically, third quarter 2023 revenue decreased 3.2% in the Americas as compared to third quarter 2022, and included a 0.4-percentage point benefit from currency. The decrease at constant currency1 reflected lower post sale revenue, due to the decline in paper sales, finance income, and Contractual print services revenue2, partially offset by higher equipment sales revenue. The increase in equipment sales in the Americas is due to increased product availability as compared to third quarter 2022. Revenue in EMEA operations decreased 7.2%, as compared to third quarter 2022 and included a 4.9-percentage point benefit from currency. On a constant currency1 basis, revenue decreased 12.1% driven by lower equipment sales, primarily due to prior year backlog reductions, as well as lower post sale revenue due to a significant decline in paper sales.
Revenue in the Americas increased 0.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the prior year period, and included a 0.2-percentage point adverse impact from currency. The increase in the Americas, as compared to the prior year period, was due to higher equipment sales revenue resulting from increased product availability, which was partially offset by lower post sale revenue. Revenue in EMEA operations decreased 1.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year period, and included a 0.5-percentage point adverse impact from currency. On a constant currency1 basis, revenue in EMEA operations decreased 0.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the prior year period, driven by lower equipment sales revenue, due to prior year backlog reductions, which was partially offset by higher post sale revenue. The increase in post sale revenue primarily reflected the benefits of a recent acquisition, partially offset by lower paper sales.
Total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 reflected the following:
Post sale revenue
Post sale revenue reflects revenues from contractual print services2, supplies and financing. These revenues are associated not only with the population of devices in the field, which is affected by installs and removals, but also by the page volumes generated from the usage of such devices and the revenue per printed page. Post sale revenue also includes transactional IT hardware sales and other Managed IT services, as well as gains and commissions, and servicing revenue on the sale of finance receivables.
For the three months ended September 30, 2023, Post sale revenue decreased 7.0% as compared to third quarter 2022, including a 2.0-percentage point benefit from currency. Post sale revenue decreased 4.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year period, which included a 1.4-percentage point benefit from an acquisition, partially offset by a 0.3-percentage point adverse impact from currency. Post sale revenue reflected the following:
•Services, maintenance and rentals revenue includes maintenance revenue (including bundled supplies), print and digital services revenue from our Services offerings, rentals and other revenues.
◦For the three months ended September 30, 2023, these revenues decreased 4.8% as compared to third quarter 2022, including a 1.6-percentage point benefit from currency. The decline in constant currency1 was due in part to the termination of Fuji royalty income and PARC revenue. Contractual print services2 revenue decreased as compared to third quarter 2022, reflecting declines in Production equipment print services, which were partially offset by revenue growth in Digital and Managed IT Services and price increases, as well as gains and commissions, and servicing revenue on sales of finance receivables.
◦For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, these revenues decreased 2.8% as compared to the prior year period, including a 0.6-percentage point adverse impact from currency. The decline in constant currency1 was due in part to the termination of Fuji royalty income and PARC revenue. Contractual print services2 revenue decreased modestly as compared to the prior year period, reflecting declines in Production equipment print services. These declines were partially offset by revenue growth in Digital and Managed IT Services, which includes the benefits of a recent acquisition, and price increases, as well as gains and commissions, and servicing revenue on sales of finance receivables.
•Supplies, paper and other sales revenue includes unbundled supplies, IT hardware and other sales. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, these revenues decreased 14.0% as compared to third quarter 2022, including a 2.7-percentage point benefit from currency. Supplies, paper and other sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 decreased 8.8% as compared to the prior year period, including a 0.6-percentage point benefit from currency. The respective decline at constant currency1 for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily reflected lower paper sales, as well as IT hardware, particularly endpoint devices, and unbundled supplies revenue.
Xerox 2023 Form 10-Q 51
•Financing revenue is generated from direct and indirect financing of Xerox equipment. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, these revenues decreased 9.8% as compared to third quarter 2022, including a 3.7-percentage point benefit from currency. Financing revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 decreased 5.8% as compared to the prior year period, including a 0.2-percentage point adverse impact from currency. The decline at constant currency1 for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, reflects a reduction of the average finance receivables balance in the quarter and year-to-date periods as a result of the sales of finance receivables in 2023 and the fourth quarter 2022 to HPS Investment Partners (HPS). Finance receivables are approximately $300 million lower in September of 2023 as compared to September of 2022.
Equipment sales revenue
Equipment sales revenue decreased 1.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the third quarter 2022, including a 1.1-percentage point benefit from currency. The decrease in constant currency1 reflects the significant reduction in backlog, primarily in EMEA operations, in the third quarter 2022 as compared to the third quarter 2023. The decrease in revenue was driven by the Entry product group, primarily in EMEA operations, mostly offset by growth in higher-margin mid-range and high-end devices, in the Americas region, as well as recent pricing actions and stable demand conditions. Entry device revenues were down as compared to the prior year period due to the ongoing normalization of work-from-home trends.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 Equipment sales revenue increased 11.9%, including a 0.2-percentage point adverse impact from currency. The increase in constant currency1 reflects improvement in product availability for higher-margin mid-range and high-end devices, in the Americas region, as well as recent pricing actions and stable demand conditions. These increases were partially offset by lower revenue from the Entry product group, primarily in EMEA operations, as compared to the prior year period, due to the ongoing normalization of work-from-home trends.

(1)Refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section for an explanation of the non-GAAP financial measure.
Pre-tax Income (Loss) Margin
Third quarter 2023 pre-tax income margin of 3.8% increased 25.5-percentage points as compared to third quarter 2022 pre-tax (loss) margin of (21.7)%. The increase was primarily due to the Goodwill impairment charge in the prior year period and lower RD&E expenses, Other expenses, net, and Restructuring and related costs, net. These favorable impacts were partially offset by lower revenue and gross profit.
Pre-tax income margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 of 1.2% increased 10.4-percentage points as compared to the prior year period pre-tax (loss) margin of (9.2)%. The improvement in the pre-tax margin was primarily due to the Goodwill impairment charge in the prior year, as well as multiple items which resulted in higher adjusted1 operating margin (see below), and lower Other expenses, net and Restructuring and related costs, net. These favorable impacts were partially offset by the PARC donation charge which had a 2.6-percentage point adverse impact on pre-tax margin, and lower revenue.
Adjusted1 Operating Margin
Third quarter 2023 adjusted1 operating income margin of 4.1% increased by 0.4-percentage points as compared to third quarter 2022, reflecting higher gross margin, the strategic decision to donate PARC and shutdown certain other PARC-related activities, as well as the benefits from pricing and cost and productivity actions. These favorable impacts were partially offset by lower revenue, which includes the termination of Fuji royalty income, and higher incentive compensation expense.
Adjusted1 operating margin income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 of 5.7% increased by 3.8-percentage points as compared to the prior year period, primarily reflecting higher gross margin, which includes the impacts of lower supply chain-related costs, lower RD&E expense, and Selling, administrative and general expenses, due primarily to reserve releases in the first quarter of 2023 partially offset by higher incentive compensation expense, as well as the benefits from pricing and cost and productivity actions. Partially offsetting these benefits was lower revenue, which includes the termination of Fuji royalty income.
______________
(1)Refer to the Adjusted Operating Income and Margin reconciliation table in the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section.
Gross Margin
Third quarter 2023 gross margin of 32.4% increased by 0.6-percentage points as compared to third quarter 2022, reflecting the benefits associated with recent pricing and cost and productivity actions, as well as gains and commissions, and servicing revenues on sales of finance receivables. These favorable impacts were partially offset by lower revenue, which includes the termination of Fuji royalty income, and lost revenues associated with the donation of PARC.
Xerox 2023 Form 10-Q 53
Gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 of 33.6% increased by 1.8-percentage points as compared to the prior year period, reflecting lower supply chain-related costs, the benefits associated with recent pricing and cost and productivity actions, as well as gains and commissions, and servicing revenues on sales of finance receivables. These favorable impacts were partially offset by lower revenue, which includes the termination of Fuji royalty income, and lost revenue associated with the donation of PARC.
Third quarter 2023 equipment gross margin of 31.0% increased by 10.0-percentage points as compared to third quarter 2022, reflecting a favorable product and channel mix, as well as the benefits associated with recent pricing actions. These favorable impacts were slightly offset by lower revenue and higher transportation costs.
Equipment gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 of 34.3% increased by 12.6-percentage points as compared to the prior year period, reflecting higher revenue, a favorable product and channel mix, lower supply chain-related costs, and the benefits associated with recent pricing actions.
Third quarter 2023 Post sale gross margin of 32.9% decreased by 2.0-percentage points as compared to third quarter 2022, reflecting lower activity, the termination of Fuji royalty income, and lower financing margin. Financing margin decreased primarily due to higher interest costs. These impacts were partially offset by the benefits associated with cost and productivity actions, as well as gains and commissions, and servicing revenue on sales of finance receivables.
Post sale gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 of 33.4% decreased by 1.1-percentage points as compared to the prior year period, reflecting lower revenue, which includes the termination of Fuji royalty income and lost revenues associated with the donation of PARC, as well as lower financing margin. Financing margin decreased primarily due to higher interest costs. These impacts were partially offset by the benefits associated cost and productivity actions, and lower supply chain-related costs as well as gains and commissions, and servicing revenues on sales of finance receivables.

Total RD&E Expenses | $ | 52 | $ | 73 | $ | (21) | $ | 173 | $ | 235 | $ | (62) |
Third quarter 2023 RD&E as a percentage of revenue of 3.1% decreased by 1.1-percentage points as compared to third quarter 2022, due to the lower rate of investments, as a result of the strategic decision to donate PARC.
RD&E as a percentage of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 of 3.4% decreased by 1.1-percentage points as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the strategic decision to donate PARC, including the spin-off of Innovation businesses and the shutdown of certain other PARC-related activities, as well as a lower rate of investments in new businesses.
RD&E of $52 million decreased $21 million as compared to third quarter 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 RD&E of $173 million decreased $62 million as compared to the prior year period. The decrease, as compared to the respective prior year periods, was primarily driven by lower spending in our innovation portfolio due to the strategic decision to donate PARC, including the spin-off of Innovation businesses, and the shutdown of certain other PARC-related activities, as well as modest savings from restructuring and productivity actions. The lower spending in innovation for both the three and the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to their respective prior year periods, reflects decisions which provide greater focus and financial flexibility to pursue growth opportunities adjacent to our core operations within Print, Digital and Managed IT services.
Selling, Administrative and General Expenses (SAG)
Third quarter 2023 SAG as a percentage of revenue of 25.2% increased by 1.3-percentage points as compared to third quarter 2022, due to lower revenues, as well as higher selling and bad debt expenses. These impacts were partially offset by lower administrative expense.
Third quarter 2023 SAG of $416 million decreased by $2 million as compared to third quarter 2022, primarily reflecting productivity and cost savings, including savings related to the strategic decision to donate PARC, and lower litigation costs. These benefits were partially offset by higher incentive compensation expense, unfavorable currency, and bad debt expense.
Xerox 2023 Form 10-Q 54
SAG as a percentage of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 of 24.5% decreased by 1.3-percentage points as compared to the prior year period, due to lower administrative and selling expenses, as well as a 0.2 percentage-point favorable impact from lower bad debt expense. These favorable impacts were partially offset by lower revenues.
SAG for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 of $1,256 million decreased by $76 million as compared to the prior year period, primarily reflecting stock compensation expense of $21 million associated with the accelerated vesting of all outstanding equity awards, according to the terms of the award agreement, in connection with the passing of Xerox Holding's former CEO in the second quarter 2022. Additionally, SAG benefited from productivity and cost savings, including savings related to the strategic decision to donate PARC, as well as lower labor costs associated with a higher-than-expected number of open positions, lower bad debt expense, lower supply chain-related costs, lower litigation costs, and the favorable impact of currency. These benefits were partially offset by higher incentive compensation expense and marketing expenses, as well as the impact of an acquisition.
The bad debt provision for the third quarter 2022 of $10 million increased $3 million as compared to the third quarter 2022 primarily due to increased provisions for accounts receivables as a result of favorable adjustments in the prior year and the timing of aged write-offs. The bad debt provision for nine months ended September 30, 2023 of $17 million, decreased by $12 million as compared to the prior year period. The decrease reflects the first quarter 2023 reserve release of approximately $12 million as a result of a favorable reassessment of the credit exposure on a large customer receivable balance after a contract amendment that improved our credit position, and the benefits related to the sale of finance receivables on a non-recourse basis as part of the on-going finance receivables funding agreement.
We believe our current reserve position remains sufficient to cover expected future losses that may result from current and future macro-economic conditions including higher inflation and interest rates. We continue to monitor developments in 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 reserve release in the first quarter 2023).
Refer to Note 8 - Accounts Receivable, Net and Note 9 - Finance Receivables, Net in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our bad debt provision.
Restructuring and Related Costs, Net
We incurred Restructuring and related costs, net of $10 million for the third quarter 2023, as compared to $22 million for third quarter 2022, and $35 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $41 million in the prior year period. These costs were primarily related to the implementation of initiatives under our business transformation projects to reduce and realign our cost structure to the changing nature of our business. Third quarter 2023 activity includes impairment associated with the Company's sale of its Russian subsidiary, which was completed in October 2023.
Third quarter 2023 actions impacted several functional areas, with approximately 80% focused on SAG reductions and approximately 20% focused on gross margin improvements. Third quarter 2022 actions impacted several functional areas, with approximately 75% focused on gross margin improvements, approximately 20% focused on SAG reductions, and the remainder focused on RD&E optimization.
The Restructuring and related costs, net reserve balance for all programs as of September 30, 2023 was $33 million, of which $32 million is expected to be paid over the next twelve months.
Refer to Note 12 - Restructuring Programs in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our restructuring programs.
Worldwide Employment
Worldwide employment was approximately 20,100 as of September 30, 2023, a decrease of approximately 400 from December 31, 2022. The decrease resulted from net attrition (attrition net of gross hires) and restructuring.

Non-Financing Interest Expense
Third quarter 2023 non-financing interest expense of $14 million was $7 million lower than third quarter 2022. The decrease was related to lower non-financing debt as a result of the repayment of Senior Notes in 2022 and the first quarter 2023. When non-financing interest is combined with financing interest expense (Cost of financing), total interest expense of $44 million decreased by $5 million as compared to third quarter 2022, reflecting a lower average debt balance, partially offset by higher average interest rates.
Non-financing interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 of $40 million was $33 million lower than the prior year period. The decrease was related to lower non-financing debt as a result of the repayment of Senior Notes in 2022 and the first quarter 2023. When non-financing interest is combined with financing interest expense (Cost of financing), total interest expense of $140 million decreased by $11 million from the prior year period reflecting a lower average debt balance, partially offset by higher average interest rates.
Refer to Note 13 - Debt in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding debt activity and interest expense.
Interest Income
Third quarter 2023 interest income decreased $1 million as compared to the third quarter 2022, while interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased $4 million as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to higher interest rates, partially offset by a lower cash balance.
Non-Service Retirement-Related Costs
Non-service retirement-related costs were $11 million and $32 million higher for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to their respective prior year periods. The increases reflect higher interest cost associated with higher discount rates, partially offset by lower settlement losses. The increase in non-service retirement-related costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year period, also reflected a decrease in the expected return on plan assets due to lower plan asset values
Service retirement-related costs, which are included in operating expenses, were $2 million and $4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $4 million and $14 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease in both periods is primarily due to the transition of our pension plan in the Netherlands to a Defined Contribution Plan for future service at the end of 2022.
Refer to Note 16 - Employee Benefit Plans in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding service and non-service retirement-related costs.
Gains on sales of businesses and assets
Gains on sales of businesses and assets were $19 million and $20 million higher for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to their respective prior year periods. The gains in both 2023 and 2022 reflect the sales of non-core surplus business assets.
Currency Losses, Net
Third quarter 2023 currency losses, net were $5 million higher than third quarter 2022, while currency losses, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased $20 million as compared to the prior year period. The
Xerox 2023 Form 10-Q 56
increase for both periods as compared to their prior year respective periods was due to continued volatility in the global exchange rates, particularly in developing markets, and the cost of hedging. Currency losses, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 also reflect losses associated with the discontinuance of hedging relationships for certain YEN-based currency cash flow hedges in the second quarter 2023.
Tax indemnification - Conduent
Third quarter 2023 credit represents the reversal of a payable to Conduent of an IRS refund Xerox was expected to receive with the settlement of a pre-separation unrecognized tax position. The matter was resolved during the third quarter 2023 and both the receivable from the IRS and the payable to Conduent were no longer required. The reversal of the offsetting IRS refund receivable is recorded as a charge in Income tax expense.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt
In the second quarter 2023, we recorded a loss of $3 million related to the early repayment on secured borrowings and the termination of our $250 million Credit Facility prior to entering into the new 5-year Asset Based Lending Facility (ABL).
In the second quarter 2022, we recorded a loss of $4 million related to the early redemption of $350 million of the $1 billion of Xerox Corporation 4.625% Senior Notes due March 2023.
Refer to Note 13 - Debt in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding debt activity.
Contract Termination Costs
Contract termination costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 reflects a $33 million charge ($25 million after-tax) associated with the termination of a product supply agreement. The charge reflects the payment of the contractual cancellation fee plus interest, and related legal fees.
Excess Contributions Refund
In the second quarter 2022, we received a refund of $16 million which reflects the return of excess employer contributions to a defined contribution plan for a certain Latin American subsidiary as a result of employee forfeitures. The excess contributions accumulated over the past 20 plus years.
Income Taxes
Third quarter 2023 effective tax rate was 23.8% which was higher than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21%, primarily due to geographical mix of earnings, partially offset by tax benefits due to the redetermination of certain unrecognized tax positions upon the conclusion of several audits, and the remeasurement of deferred tax assets. On an adjusted1 basis, third quarter 2023 effective tax rate was 7.3%, which is lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21%, primarily due to a tax rate benefit of approximately 15% related to the redetermination of certain unrecognized tax positions upon the conclusion of several audits, as well as the remeasurement of deferred tax assets, partially offset by the geographical mix of earnings.
Third quarter 2022 effective tax rate was (0.8)% and included tax impacts associated with the non-cash Goodwill impairment charge. On an adjusted1 basis, third quarter 2022 effective tax rate was 42.1%. The adjusted1 effective tax rate was higher than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to changes in elections made to certain tax positions for recently filed returns as well as the geographical mix of earnings, combined with lower adjusted pre-tax income.
The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was 1.7% and includes the loss on the PARC donation as well as the associated tax benefits. Excluding this impact, the effective tax rate was 21.5%. On an adjusted1 basis, the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was 14.5%. The adjusted1 effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to a tax rate benefit of approximately 7% related to the redetermination of certain unrecognized tax positions upon the conclusion of several audits, as well as the change in tax filing positions and the remeasurement of deferred tax assets, partially offset by the geographical mix of earnings.
The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was 5.7% and included tax expense associated with the non-cash Goodwill impairment charge, changes in elections made to certain tax positions for recently filed returns, and the non-deductible accelerated share vestings, according to the terms of an award agreement, in connection with the passing of Xerox Holding's former CEO, offset by benefits from additional tax incentives, a change in our indefinite reinvestment tax liability due to a recent acquisition and the geographical mix of earnings. On an adjusted1 basis, the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was 22.0%. The adjusted1 effective tax rate was higher than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to tax expense associated with changes in elections made to certain tax positions for recently filed returns, offset by
Xerox 2023 Form 10-Q 57
benefits from additional tax incentives and a change in our indefinite reinvestment tax liability due to a recent acquisition.
The effective tax rate is based on nonrecurring events as well as recurring factors, including the taxation of foreign income. In addition, the effective tax rate will change based on discrete or other nonrecurring events that may not be predictable.

Third quarter 2023 Print and Other segment revenue decreased 6.0% as compared to third quarter 2022, and Print and Other segment revenue decreased 1.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year period. The decrease for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was driven by lower Post sale revenue, as compared to their respective prior year periods.
Print and Other segment revenues included the following:
Equipment sales revenue decreased 0.8% during the third quarter 2023 as compared to third quarter 2022, driven by the Entry product group, primarily in EMEA operations, which was partially offset by growth in higher-margin mid-range and high-end devices in the Americas, as well as recent pricing actions. Equipment sales revenue increased 12.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year period, driven by improvement in product availability, for higher-margin mid-range and high-end devices in the Americas, as well as recent pricing actions and stable demand conditions, both of which were partially offset by lower revenue from the Entry product group, primarily in EMEA operations, due to the ongoing normalization of work-from-home trends.
Post sale revenue decreased 7.6% during the third quarter 2023 as compared to third quarter 2022, due to lower paper, supplies, and IT endpoint devices revenue, as well as the termination of Fuji royalty income and PARC revenue. Contractual print services revenue1 decreased as compared to third quarter 2022, primarily due to lower service revenue from our economically-sensitive Production customers. These impacts were partially offset by growth in Digital and Managed IT services revenue, price increases, as well as gains and commissions, and servicing revenue on sales of finance receivables.

The change at constant currency1 reflected the following:
•Entry - The decrease for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to their respective prior year periods was driven by the on-going normalization of work-from-home trends.
•Mid-range - The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the third quarter 2022 was driven by growth in the Americas, supported by increased product availability, partially offset by declines in EMEA, reflecting backlog reductions in the prior year. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year period was driven by higher margin A3 devices due to improved product availability, primarily in the Americas, and price increases, both of which were partially offset by declines in EMEA, which reflected backlog reductions in the prior year.
•High-end - The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was driven by growth in the Americas, which was offset by declines in EMEA. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year period was driven by revenue growth in the Americas, as well as higher revenue and higher installs of both Entry Production Color devices and iGens, due to improved product availability, and benefits from price increases and Xerox’s complete offering of software, services and technology.

Total Installs
Installs reflect new placements of devices only (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 Products and Offerings Definitions) is shown below.
Installs for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to prior year period reflect the following:
Entry1
•52% decrease in entry color installs primarily due to a softer demand associated with the ongoing normalization of work-from-home trends.
•28% decrease in entry black-and-white installs driven by EMEA markets, mostly across multi-function printers.
Mid-Range
•18% decrease in mid-range color installs, driven by a decline in EMEA channels, partially offset by growth in the Americas.
•10% decrease in mid-range black-and-white installs, driven by a decline in EMEA channels, partially offset by growth in the Americas.
High-End
•15% increase in high-end color installs reflecting strong demand for Versant products, primarily in the Americas.
•16% decrease in high-end black-and-white installs reflecting a decline for Nuvera and Baltoro products in EMEA.
Xerox 2023 Form 10-Q 61
Installs for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to prior year period reflect the following:
Entry1
•37% decrease in entry color installs driven by declines in entry color printers and A4 Color MFPs, associated with the ongoing normalization of work-from-home trends, primarily in EMEA.
•12% decrease in entry black-and-white installs driven by declines in A4 mono MFPs, primarily in EMEA, which was partially offset by higher entry mono printer installs.
Mid-Range
•7% increase in mid-range color installs, driven by A3 color MFPs, reflecting increased product availability in the Americas.
•31% increase in mid-range black-and-white installs, driven by A3 mono MFPs, reflecting increased product availability primarily in the Americas.
High-End
•30% increase in high-end color installs reflecting higher demand for iGen and Versant products, primarily in the Americas.
•16% decrease in high-end black-and-white installs reflecting a decline for Nuvera.

Third quarter 2023 FITTLE segment revenue was flat as compared to third quarter 2022, while for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 segment revenue increased 3.1% as compared to the prior year period. FITTLE segment revenue included the following:
Financing revenue is generated from direct and indirect financed Xerox equipment sale transactions. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, these revenues decreased 9.8% as compared to third quarter 2022, including a 3.7-percentage point benefit from currency. Financing revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 decreased 5.8% as compared to the prior year period, including a 0.2-percentage point adverse impact from currency. The decline at constant currency1 for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, reflects a reduction of the average finance receivables balance in the quarter and year-to-date periods as a result of the sales of finance receivables in 2023 and the fourth quarter 2022 to HPS. Finance receivables are approximately $300 million lower in September of 2023 as compared to September of 2022.
Other Post sale revenue increased 14.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to third quarter 2022, and increased 14.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year period. The increase for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, is due to higher commissions and servicing revenue on increased sales of finance receivables under our finance receivables funding agreement, which was $7 million and $21 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.
_____________
(1)Refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section for an explanation of the non-GAAP financial measure.
Segment Margin
FITTLE segment margin of 4.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 increased 2.1-percentage points as compared to third quarter 2022 primarily reflecting lower bad debt expense as a result of sales of receivables without recourse through our receivable funding arrangements, as well as lower intersegment commissions.
FITTLE segment margin of 7.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased 1.8-percentage points as compared to the prior year period driven by higher revenue reflecting higher commissions and servicing revenue on increased sales of finance receivables under our finance receivables funding agreement, as well as lower bad debt expense. These favorable impacts were partially offset by higher strategic investment costs, and higher interest costs.
We expect further improvements to bad debt expense going forward as our finance receivable balances decline as a result of increased sales of receivables.

Capital Resources and Liquidity
The following is a summary of our liquidity position:
•As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $617 million and $1,139 million, respectively, and apart from restricted cash of $85 million and $94 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, was readily accessible for use. The decrease in total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $522 million primarily reflects an $819 million financing use of cash, which was partially offset by operating cash flows of $297 million.
•Total debt at September 30, 2023 was $3,609 million, of which $2,492 million is allocated to and supports the Company's finance assets. The remaining debt of $1,117 million is attributable to the non-financing business and increased from $806 million at December 31, 2022. Debt consists of Senior Unsecured Notes, secured borrowings through the securitization of finance assets, borrowings under the new ABL Facility and borrowings under a loan facility used to fund the repurchase of shares from Carl C. Icahn and certain of his affiliates. $300 million of Senior Unsecured Note borrowings are due within the next twelve months.
•In May 2023, we entered into a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility of up to $300 million (the ABL Facility). Our previous $250 million Credit Facility due July 2024 was terminated prior to entering into the ABL Facility. As of September 30, 2023, there were $220 million of borrowings under the ABL Facility, which are reported as short-term borrowings based on management's intent to repay this balance by the end of 2023. There were no letters of credit outstanding under this facility and we were in full compliance with the covenants and other provisions of the ABL Facility.
•In September 2023, we entered into a five-year $555 million loan facility (the Loan Facility), which was fully drawn at September 30, 2023 to finance the $542 million repurchase of approximately 34 million shares of the Company’s common stock from Carl C. Icahn and certain of his affiliates pursuant to the terms of a related purchase agreement. Although the Loan Facility has a final maturity date of September 28, 2028, Xerox anticipates refinancing amounts borrowed under the Loan Facility with a new financing instrument in the near term.
•We expect Operating cash flows for 2023 to be at least $650 million and we continue to expect capital expenditures to be approximately $50 million.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $297 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The $324 million increase in operating cash from the prior year period was primarily due to the following:
•$209 million increase in pre-tax income before depreciation and amortization, provisions, gain on sales of businesses and assets, PARC donation, stock-based compensation, goodwill impairment, restructuring and related costs and non-service retirement-related costs.
•$500 million increase from finance receivables reflecting the sale of approximately $850 million of finance receivables under the finance receivables funding agreement partially offset by higher originations from increased equipment sales. Refer to Note 9 - Finance Receivables, Net in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the sale of finance receivables.
•$186 million increase due to lower inventory reflecting increased sales of equipment and supplies.
Xerox 2023 Form 10-Q 64
•$31 million increase from lower contributions to our retirement plans primarily due to additional contributions to our U.K. defined benefit pension plan not being required in 2023.
•$29 million increase from lower net tax payments.
•$488 million decrease from accounts payable primarily due to the timing of supplier and vendor payments and lower year-over-year spending.
•$99 million decrease from other current and long-term liabilities primarily due to the timing of payment of higher year-end accruals.
•$35 million decrease from higher installs of equipment on operating leases.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was $3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The $98 million increase in cash from the prior year period was primarily due to the following:
•$86 million increase reflecting fewer acquisitions in 2023.
•$12 million increase reflecting lower capital expenditures.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $819 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The $64 million increase in the use of cash from the prior year period was primarily due to the following:
•$431 million increase due to the share repurchase agreement with Icahn and Affiliated Parties for $544 million in 2023 compared to $113 million of share repurchases in the prior year under the Company’s open-market share repurchase program.
•$374 million decrease from net debt activity. 2023 reflects net proceeds of $549 million from the Loan Facility, used to fund the share repurchase, and $213 million from the ABL Facility, which include debt issuance costs payments of $6 million and $7 million, respectively, and net proceeds of $52 million from the refinance of our Canadian secured loan. These borrowings were offset by payments of $644 million on secured financing arrangements and $300 million on Senior Notes. The $644 million of payments on secured financing arrangements includes the early repayment of $185 million U.S. secured borrowing. 2022 reflects proceeds of $753 million on secured financing arrangements offset by payments of $600 million, $300 million on maturing 2022 Senior Notes and $353 million for the early redemption of 2023 Senior Notes, which includes a premium payment of $3 million.

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.

(1)Finance receivables debt is the basis for our calculation of "Cost of financing" expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).
Sale of Finance Receivables
In December 2022, the Company entered into a finance receivables funding agreement with an affiliate of HPS Investment Partners (HPS) pursuant to which the Company agreed to offer for sale, and HPS agreed to purchase, certain eligible pools of finance receivables on a monthly basis in transactions structured as "true sales at law" and bankruptcy remote transfers. Accordingly, the receivables sold were derecognized from our financial statements and HPS does not have recourse back to the Company for uncollectible receivables. During the second quarter 2023, the finance receivables funding agreement with HPS was amended to expand the pools of finance receivables eligible for sale and to include the sale of the underlying leased equipment to HPS. The effect of these transactions has accordingly reduced financing debt as funding for new finance receivable originations is through the direct sale to HPS.
Xerox 2023 Form 10-Q 66
Third Party Leasing Programs
In the third quarter 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with PEAC Solutions (a subsidiary of HPS) that named PEAC as the provider of certain leasing and financial services programs for non-Xerox equipment in the U.S. network of independent dealers and resellers. Prior to this arrangement Xerox's FITTLE business provided leasing directly to end-user customers who purchased Xerox and non-Xerox equipment sold through independent dealers and resellers. Xerox's FITTLE business will return to a captive lessor as the Company focuses on core capabilities and offerings including print, IT and digital services. Xerox's FITTLE business will continue to offer leasing for Xerox hardware, software, and solutions. The effect of this arrangement will accordingly reduce future lease originations and associated financing debt.
Liquidity and Financial Flexibility
We manage our worldwide liquidity using internal cash management practices, which are subject to i) the statutes, regulations and practices of each of the local jurisdictions in which we operate, ii) the legal requirements of the agreements to which we are a party, and iii) the policies and cooperation of the financial institutions we utilize to maintain and provide cash management services.

Xerox 2023 Form 10-Q 67
Financial Risk Management
We are exposed to market risk from foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, which could affect operating results, financial position and cash flows. We manage our exposure to these market risks through our regular operating and financing activities and, when appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. We utilize derivative financial instruments to hedge economic exposures, as well as to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility resulting from shifts in market rates. We enter into limited types of derivative contracts, including interest rate swap agreements, interest rate caps, foreign currency spot, forward and swap contracts and net purchased foreign currency options to manage interest rate and foreign currency exposures. Our primary foreign currency market exposures include the Euro, U.K. Pound Sterling and Japanese Yen. The fair market values of all our derivative contracts change with fluctuations in interest rates and/or currency exchange rates and are designed so that any changes in their values are offset by changes in the values of the underlying exposures. Derivative financial instruments are held solely as risk management tools and not for trading or speculative purposes. 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 14 – Financial Instruments in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion and information on our financial risk management strategies.
Xerox 2023 Form 10-Q 68
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We have reported our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In addition, we have discussed our financial results using the non-GAAP measures described below. We believe these non-GAAP measures allow investors to better understand the trends in our business and to better understand and compare our results. Management regularly uses our supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions. These non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. Compensation of our executives is based in part on the performance of our business based on these non-GAAP measures. Accordingly, we believe it is necessary to adjust several reported amounts, determined in accordance with GAAP, to exclude the effects of certain items as well as their related income tax effects.
However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are set forth below.
Adjusted Earnings Measures
•Adjusted Net Income and EPS
•Adjusted Effective Tax Rate
The above measures were adjusted for the following items:
Restructuring and related costs, net: Restructuring and related costs, net include restructuring and asset impairment charges as well as costs associated with our transformation programs beyond those normally included in restructuring and asset impairment charges. Restructuring consists of costs primarily related to severance and benefits paid to employees pursuant to formal restructuring and workforce reduction plans. Asset impairment includes costs incurred for those assets sold, abandoned or made obsolete as a result of our restructuring actions, exiting from a business or other strategic business changes. Additional costs for our transformation programs are primarily related to the implementation of strategic actions and initiatives and include third-party professional service costs as well as one-time incremental costs. All of these costs can vary significantly in terms of amount and frequency based on the nature of the actions as well as the changing needs of the business. Accordingly, due to that significant variability, we will exclude these charges since we do not believe they provide meaningful insight into our current or past operating performance, nor do we believe they are reflective of our expected future operating expenses as such charges are expected to yield future benefits and savings with respect to our operational performance.
Amortization of intangible assets: The amortization of intangible assets is driven by our acquisition activity which can vary in size, nature and timing as compared to other companies within our industry and from period to period. The use of intangible assets contributed to our revenues earned during the periods presented and will contribute to our future period revenues as well. Amortization of intangible assets will recur in future periods.
Non-service retirement-related costs: Our defined benefit pension and retiree health costs include several elements impacted by changes in plan assets and obligations that are primarily driven by changes in the debt and equity markets as well as those that are predominantly legacy in nature and related to employees who are no longer providing current service to the Company (e.g. retirees and ex-employees). These elements include (i) interest cost, (ii) expected return on plan assets, (iii) amortization of prior plan amendments, (iv) amortized actuarial gains/losses and (v) the impacts of any plan settlements/curtailments. Accordingly, we consider these elements of our periodic retirement plan costs to be outside the operational performance of the business or legacy costs and not necessarily indicative of current or future cash flow requirements. This approach is consistent with the classification of these costs as non-operating in Other expenses, net. Adjusted earnings will continue to include the service cost elements of our retirement costs, which is related to current employee service as well as the cost of our defined contribution plans.
Xerox 2023 Form 10-Q 69
Discrete, unusual or infrequent items: We exclude these item(s), when applicable, given their discrete, unusual or infrequent nature and their impact on the comparability of our results for the period to prior periods and future expected trends.
•Goodwill impairment
•Contract termination costs - product supply
•PARC donation
•Accelerated share vesting - stock compensation expense associated with the accelerated vesting of all outstanding equity awards, according to the terms of the award agreement, in connection with the passing of Xerox Holdings Corporation's former CEO.
•Loss on early extinguishment of debt
•Tax indemnification - Conduent
Adjusted Operating Income and Margin
We calculate and utilize adjusted operating income and margin measures by adjusting our reported pre-tax income (loss) 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.
