NORWALK, Conn., Oct. 29, 2026 — Xerox Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ: XRX) today announced its 2026 third-quarter results.
“This quarter, Print equipment revenue grew and adjusted operating margin doubled as we continued to execute against our three priorities: stabilize revenue, increase profitability and reduce leverage,” said Louie Pastor, chief executive officer at Xerox. “We are seeing results in the areas where we have focused our execution, but the headwinds affecting our outlook have intensified, creating greater near-term pressure than we expected. As a result, we are lowering our full-year adjusted operating income and free cash flow guidance. We’re responding with actions and cost measures to mitigate these pressures, improve profitability, and preserve cash, including the suspension of our common and preferred dividends, while maintaining our focus on reducing debt.”
Progress Against Strategic Priorities
Q3 2026
•Double-digit equipment revenue growth in both Entry and Production
•Announced three new Production devices at PRINTING United Expo, as well as a partnership with Xeikon to enter the Packaging and Labels market

Third Quarter 2026 Overview
In the third quarter of 2026, overall market trends remained stable compared to the prior year, with demand broadly consistent with recent quarters. Despite a difficult backdrop, we continue to make progress on our three priorities - stabilize revenue, increase profitability, and reduce leverage.
Third quarter 2026 reflects the continued benefits of the Lexmark acquisition and Xerox's transformation efforts. Revenue declines moderated by 180 basis points sequentially on a pro forma1 basis. Adjusted2 operating income margins expanded year-over-year for the third consecutive quarter, driven by integration synergies, cost discipline, and an increasingly unified operating model. These gains are complemented by new product launches under the unified Xerox brand, growing partner validation, and a more focused go-to-market approach which is collectively positioning the company for continued operational and financial improvement. We also reduced leverage further in the quarter.
Equipment sales revenue of $393 million in the third quarter 2026 increased 2.6% in actual currency and 2.9% in constant currency2, compared to the third quarter 2025. Total equipment installations increased 9.0% driven by growth in Entry and High-end categories.
Post sale revenue of $1,295 million in the third quarter 2026 decreased 4.5% in actual currency and 4.4% in constant currency2, compared to the third quarter 2025. The decline in constant currency2 primarily reflects lower equipment service revenue and managed print services, as well as lower supplies and rental revenue. Post sale revenue was also adversely impacted by a decline in financing revenue reflecting the continued sales of finance receivables to our various funding affiliates and lower originations.
IT Solutions revenue of $180 million in the third quarter 2026 declined 18.9% in actual currency and 18.5% in constant currency2, compared to the third quarter 2025. The decrease primarily reflects the timing of large prior-year public sector product placements.
Pre-tax (loss) of $(1,006) million for the third quarter 2026 decreased by $706 million compared to a pre-tax (loss) of $(300) million in the third quarter 2025. Third quarter 2026 includes a pre-tax, non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $959 million ($955 million after-tax) or $6.87 per share. During the third quarter 2026, we lowered our future projections for the Print and Other reporting unit due to continued macro uncertainty and sustained memory price increases. These factors, and their resulting effect on discounted future cash flows, reduced the valuation of the Print and Other segment, resulting in a goodwill impairment charge in the third quarter 2026. Pre-tax (loss) margin of (53.9)% decreased by 38.6-percentage points compared to third quarter 2025 pre-tax (loss) margin of (15.3)%. The decrease in the third quarter 2026 pre-tax (loss) margin was primarily driven by the goodwill impairment charge as well as lower revenue, excluding a licensing agreement, and higher non-financing interest expense. These impacts were partially offset by higher gross profit, including a favorable impact resulting from the prior year purchase accounting adjustment related to the Lexmark acquisition, benefits from Transformation-related cost and productivity actions, and lower tariff-related costs. The improvement also reflected lower Selling, administrative and general expenses, primarily due to Transformation-related cost and productivity actions, lower incentive compensation expense and lower bad debt expense, as well as lower Restructuring and related costs, net, and Research, development and engineering expenses, reflecting Transformation-related cost and productivity actions.
Third quarter 2026 adjusted2 operating income margin of 6.6% increased by 3.3-percentage points compared to third quarter 2025. The increase reflects higher gross profit and lower Selling, administrative and general expenses, both of which are attributable to the factors discussed above. These benefits were partially offset by lower revenue and product cost increases.
For full-year 2026, we expect revenue of approximately $7.6 billion, adjusted2 operating income in the range of $450 million to $475 million, down from $555 million to $605 million, and free cash flow2 of approximately $50 to $100 million, down from $250 million. Updated adjusted2 operating income guidance reflects higher than expected input costs, mix shift from Mid-range to Entry, a weaker market outlook, and lower than expected IT Solutions profit. Updated free cash flow2 guidance reflects lower adjusted2 operating income and lower than expected finance receivable and IEEPA tariff receivable proceeds, as some of these benefits get pushed out to 2027. In October 2026, we announced the exchange of $174 million aggregate principal amount of 5.50% Senior Notes due 2028 for $121 million aggregate principal amount of 10.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2030 and $9 million of equity.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We have reported our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In addition, we have discussed our financial results using the non-GAAP measures described below. We believe these non-GAAP measures allow investors to better understand the trends in our business and to better understand and compare our results. Management regularly uses our supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions. These non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. Compensation of our executives is based in part on the performance of our business based on these non-GAAP measures. Accordingly, we believe it is necessary to adjust several reported amounts, determined in accordance with GAAP, to exclude the effects of certain items as well as their related income tax effects.
However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are set forth below, as well as in the third quarter 2026 presentation slides available at www.xerox.com/investor.
Adjusted Earnings Measures
•Adjusted Net Income and Earnings per share (Adjusted EPS)
•Adjusted Effective Tax Rate
The above measures were adjusted for the following items:
Restructuring and related costs, net: Restructuring and related costs, net include restructuring and asset impairment charges as well as costs associated with our Transformation programs beyond those normally included in restructuring and asset impairment charges. Restructuring consists of costs primarily related to severance and benefits paid to employees pursuant to formal restructuring and workforce reduction plans. Asset impairment includes costs incurred for those assets sold, abandoned or made obsolete as a result of our restructuring actions, exiting from a business or other strategic business changes. Additional costs for our Transformation programs are primarily related to the implementation of strategic actions and initiatives and include third-party professional service costs as well as one-time incremental costs. All of these costs can vary significantly in terms of amount and frequency based on the nature of the actions as well as the changing needs of the business. Accordingly, due to that significant variability, we 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 expense (income), net. Adjusted earnings will continue to include the service cost elements of our retirement costs, which are related to current employee service as well as the cost of our defined contribution plans.
14
Transaction and related costs, net: Transaction and related costs, net are costs and expenses primarily associated with certain major or significant strategic M&A projects. These costs are primarily for third-party legal, accounting, consulting and other similar types of professional services as well as potential legal settlements that may arise in connection with those M&A transactions. These costs are considered incremental to our normal operating charges and were incurred or are expected to be incurred solely as a result of the planned transactions. Accordingly, we exclude these expenses from our Adjusted Earnings Measures in order to evaluate our performance on a comparable basis.
Discrete, unusual or infrequent items: We exclude the following items, when applicable, given their discrete, unusual or infrequent nature and their impact on the comparability of our results for the period to prior periods and future expected trends.
•Inventory-related impact - exit of certain production print manufacturing operations
•Goodwill impairment
•(Gain) on early extinguishment of debt
•Transformation-related costs
•Lexmark - settlement of pre-existing employment agreements
•Lexmark - inventory-related purchase accounting adjustment
•Lexmark - fixed asset-related purchase accounting adjustment
•Deferred tax asset valuation allowance
•PARC Donation Income Tax
Adjusted Operating Income and Margin
We calculate and utilize adjusted operating income and margin measures by adjusting our reported pre-tax (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 Non-financing interest expense and the remaining amounts included in Other expenses (income), net, which include certain other non-operating costs and expenses. We exclude these amounts in order to evaluate our current and past operating performance and to better understand the expected future trends in our business.
Adjusted Gross Profit and Margin
We calculate non-GAAP gross Profit and Margin by excluding the inventory impact related to the exit of certain Production Print manufacturing operations, included in Cost of services, maintenance, rentals and other, as well as fixed asset-related purchase accounting adjustments related to the recent acquisition of Lexmark.
Constant Currency (CC)
To better understand trends in our business, we believe that it is helpful to adjust revenue to exclude the impact of changes in the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars. We refer to this adjusted revenue as “constant currency.” This impact is calculated by translating current period activity in local currency using the comparable prior year period's currency translation rate. This impact is calculated for all countries where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. Management believes the constant currency measure provides investors an additional perspective on revenue trends. Currency impact can be determined as the difference between actual growth rates and constant currency growth rates.
Free Cash Flow
To better understand trends in our business, we believe that it is helpful to adjust operating cash flows by subtracting amounts related to capital expenditures. Management believes this measure gives investors an additional perspective on cash flow from operating activities in excess of amounts required for reinvestment. It provides a measure of our ability to repurchase debt, fund acquisitions, and pay dividends.
