“ … we are helping define the future of work
and enabling printing beyond paper with new
technologies that will disrupt the market
and change the way we think about workflows
and information processes.”
For generations, Xerox has stood for innovation, quality and an excellent customer
experience. We are the company that revolutionized the office, created printing-on-
demand, and repeatedly reinvented and transformed to keep pace with the demands
of our customers and the market.
Today, we honor this heritage by turning investments in innovation into products and
services that help our customers be more productive and profitable. With five research
and development sites – including world-renowned PARC – and 2,000 scientists and
engineers, we are helping define the future of work and enabling printing beyond
paper with new technologies that will disrupt the market and change the way we
think about workflows and information processes.
Our portfolio of ConnectKeyTM-enabled products has transformed traditional printing
devices into smart and secure workplace assistants that enable workflows to be
simplified and automated via standard or customized apps and integrated with
market-leading office solutions. McMaster University, one of Canada’s largest and
oldest institutions of higher education, will utilize the security features on its fleet of
ConnectKey-enabled AltaLink® multifunction printers to protect its information.
Students, faculty and administration will take advantage of apps to simplify how
they work – such as the Easy Translator app that makes translations in over 40
languages instantly.

“ We see opportunity as we look at our industry …
from segments of the market that are growing,
to the rapid developments in technology, to the
continuing evolution of how work gets done.”
We are an industry leader in managed print services –
services that help our customers save money, automate
steps, boost productivity, and improve document security
and environmental sustainability by gaining control of their
document processes and print infrastructure. For example,
Xerox will deploy our managed print services to help the U.S.
Air Force focus on its missions and not worry about document
management. We will provide a help desk and management
of servers to deliver an efficient and comprehensive document
infrastructure and effectively save the government more than
20 percent in costs by decreasing the number of devices by up
to 2,000 units over the course of the following four years.
Our content management and workflow automation solutions
transform manual, error-prone processes into automated and
accurate approaches that take minutes instead of days. We use
analytics to bring operational excellence to routine workflows,
as well as industry-specific processes. In retail banking,
automating the processing of loan applications – from first
engagement to loan disbursement – simplifies or removes
many of the manual paper handling and document processing
steps. The results include reduced application processing
time and error rates, increased customer satisfaction, and
greater oversight and control over the process.
Commercial print, in-plant and packaging print customers
rely on our graphic communications solutions to enable
high-quality on-demand production of an extensive range
of applications that drive growth and increase profitability.
Software offerings bring automation and integration to the
processing of print jobs for a touchless – and more productive
– workflow. Going one step further, Vistaprint Corporate,
an international provider of custom print and promotional
products, uses Xerox’s XMPie® software to offer its business
customers private web “storefronts” that allow employees
to choose, customize and order brand collateral, marketing
materials and promotional products. Vistaprint can set up a
storefront for a new company in days, and its customers
save time and money ordering products that represent their
unique brands.
The people of Xerox help our customers communicate, connect
and work better by creating great products and solutions and
delivering great service. We apply our collective skills to figure

service. Ultimately, our long-term success will be measured
on our ability to satisfy our customers and deliver value to
our shareholders.
We see opportunity as we look at our industry … from segments
of the market that are growing, to the rapid developments
in technology, to the continuing evolution of how work gets
done. We will continue to drive change – disrupting current
paradigms by developing new technologies that drive more
efficient and cost-effective workflows and enable growth
opportunities. Our product road maps include frequent releases
of new apps, software and firmware upgrades, as well as new
products to ensure we remain at the forefront of the industry.
We are expanding and modernizing our software offerings –
through our own development efforts, as well as partnerships
– to cover the entire life cycle of documents and content.
Finally, we continue to capitalize on our intellectual property
by embedding it in our products and software, developing new
businesses and licensing or selling patents where appropriate.
We are proud to be part of the Xerox team and excited about
the bright future ahead for this storied company.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This document, and other written or oral statements made from time to time by management contain “forward-
looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words “anticipate”,
“believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “will”, “should” and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to
identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect management’s current beliefs, assumptions and
expectations and are subject to a number of factors that may cause actual results to differ materially. Such factors
include but are not limited to: our ability to address our business challenges in order to reverse revenue declines,
reduce costs and increase productivity so that we can invest in and grow our business; changes in economic and
political conditions, trade protection measures, licensing requirements and tax laws in the United States and in the
foreign countries in which we do business; changes in foreign currency exchange rates; our ability to successfully
develop new products, technologies and service offerings and to protect our intellectual property rights; the risk that
multi-year contracts with governmental entities could be terminated prior to the end of the contract term and that
civil or criminal penalties and administrative sanctions could be imposed on us if we fail to comply with the terms of
such contracts and applicable law; the risk that partners, subcontractors and software vendors will not perform in a
timely, quality manner; actions of competitors and our ability to promptly and effectively react to changing
technologies and customer expectations; our ability to obtain adequate pricing for our products and services and to
maintain and improve cost efficiency of operations, including savings from restructuring actions; the risk that
individually identifiable information of customers, clients and employees could be inadvertently disclosed or
disclosed as a result of a breach of our security systems; reliance on third parties, including subcontractors, for
manufacturing of products and provision of services; our ability to manage changes in the printing environment and
expand equipment placements; interest rates, cost of borrowing and access to credit markets; funding requirements
associated with our employee pension and retiree health benefit plans; the risk that our operations and products
may not comply with applicable worldwide regulatory requirements, particularly environmental regulations and
directives and anti-corruption laws; the outcome of litigation and regulatory proceedings to which we may be a
party; the risk that we do not realize all of the expected strategic and financial benefits from the separation and spin-
off of our Business Process Outsourcing business; the effects on our business resulting from actions of activist
shareholders; and other factors that are set forth in the “Risk Factors” section, the “Legal Proceedings” section, the
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section and other
sections of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our Current
Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC. Furthermore, the actual results of the Transactions could vary materially as
a result of a number of factors, including, but not limited to: (i) the risk that the transactions may not be completed in
a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect Xerox’s business and the price of Xerox’s common stock, (ii)
the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the transactions, including the receipt of certain
approvals from Xerox’s shareholders and certain governmental and regulatory approvals, (iii) the parties may be
unable to achieve expected synergies and operating efficiencies in the transactions within the expected time frames
or at all, (iv) the transactions may not result in the accretion to Xerox’s earnings or other benefits, (v) the occurrence
of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the transaction agreements, (vi)
the effect of the announcement or pendency of the transactions on Xerox’s and/or Fujifilm business relationships,
operating results, and business generally, risks related to the proposed transactions disrupting Xerox’s current plans
and operations and potential difficulties in Xerox’s employee retention as a result of the transactions, (vii) risks
related to diverting management’s attention from Xerox’s ongoing business operations, (viii) the outcome of any
legal proceedings that may be instituted against Xerox, its officers or directors related to the transaction agreements
or the transactions and (ix) the possibility that competing offers or acquisition proposals for Xerox will be made.
Xerox assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information or future
events or developments, except as required by law.
Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd. (“Fuji Xerox”) is a joint venture between Xerox Corporation and Fujifilm in which Xerox holds a
noncontrolling 25% equity interest and Fujifilm holds the remaining equity interest. In April 2017, Fujifilm formed an
independent investigation committee (“IIC”) to primarily conduct a review of the appropriateness of the accounting
practices at Fuji Xerox’s New Zealand subsidiary and at other subsidiaries. The IIC completed its review during the
second quarter 2017 and identified aggregate adjustments to Fuji Xerox’s financial statements of approximately JPY
40 billion (approximately $360 million) primarily related to misstatements at Fuji Xerox’s New Zealand and
Australian subsidiaries. We determined that our share of the total adjustments identified as part of the investigation
was approximately $90 million and impacted our fiscal years 2009 through 2017. We concluded that we should
revise our previously issued annual and interim consolidated financial statements for 2014, 2015 and 2016 and the
first quarter of 2017 the next time they are filed. Our review of this matter has been completed. However, Fujifilm
and Fuji Xerox continue to review Fujifilm’s oversight and governance of Fuji Xerox as well as Fuji Xerox’s oversight
and governance over its businesses in light of the findings of the IIC. At this time, we can provide no assurance

relative to the outcome of any potential governmental investigations or any consequences thereof that may happen
as a result of this matter.

Transaction to Combine Xerox and Fuji Xerox
On January 31, 2018, Xerox entered into a Redemption Agreement with FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation, a
Japanese company (“Fujifilm”), and Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd, a Japanese company in which Xerox indirectly holds a 25
percent equity interest and Fujifilm holds the remaining 75 percent equity interest (“Fuji Xerox”) (the “Redemption
s 75
Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, (i) Fuji Xerox shall redeem for cash most or all of Fujifilm’
percent equity interest in Fuji Xerox and (ii) Fuji Xerox shall become an indirect majority or wholly owned subsidiary
of Xerox (the “Redemption”). The combined company resulting from the Fujifilm Transactions (as defined below)
shall hereinafter be referred to as “New Fuji Xerox”.
Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Redemption Agreement, Xerox entered into a Share
Subscription Agreement with Fujifilm (the “Subscription Agreement” and together with the Redemption Agreement,
the “Fujifilm Transaction Agreements”), pursuant to which, among other things, (i) Fujifilm shall subscribe for and
purchase from Xerox, and Xerox shall issue to Fujifilm, a number of shares of common capital stock of Xerox (and
after Closing, of New Fuji Xerox, “Common Stock”) representing 50.1 percent of (i) the aggregate number of issued
and outstanding shares of Common Stock (excluding any performance shares issued under the Company’s existing
employee incentive plans) plus (ii) such additional shares of Common Stock that would be issued and outstanding
assuming the exercise of in-the-money options as of 5:00 p.m. New York time two business days prior to closing of
the Fujifilm Transactions (as defined below) (the “Closing”) plus (iii) any shares of Common Stock reserved for issue
relating to restricted stock units outstanding as of the Closing that are fully vested as of 5:00 p.m. New York time
two business days prior to the Closing (collectively, the “Fully Diluted Capital Stock”) of Xerox in exchange for (A)
cash and (B) all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Fuji Xerox not held by Xerox or its wholly owned
subsidiaries and (ii) Xerox shall become a direct, majority owned subsidiary of Fujifilm (the “Issuance” and together
with the Redemption, the “Fujifilm Transactions”). In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement,
at Closing, an aggregate number of shares equal to the “True-Up Shares” (as defined in the Subscription
Agreement) shall be held in escrow and released to Fujifilm as and if necessary for Fujifilm to maintain its
ownership percentage.
In connection with the Fujifilm Transactions, Xerox expects to pay a special pro rata cash dividend to its
shareholders in an amount equal to $2.5 billion in the aggregate (the “Special Dividend”), which is expected to be
financed through the issuance of debt that will be incurred by New Fuji Xerox. Fujifilm will not be a shareholder of
Xerox as of the record date for the Special Dividend and therefore will not receive any payment in respect thereof.
As noted above, immediately following the Closing, Fujifilm is expected to own approximately 50.1 percent of the
Fully Diluted Capital Stock of New Fuji Xerox and Xerox shareholders are expected to own approximately 49.9
percent. Further, pursuant to that certain Shareholders Agreement, to be entered into by Xerox and Fujifilm at
Closing (the “Shareholders Agreement”), the Board of Directors of New Fuji Xerox will have twelve directors, which
will initially be composed of seven individuals designated by Fujifilm and five individuals from among the members
of the Board of Directors of the Company immediately prior to Closing designated by Xerox in consultation with and
subject to reasonable approved by Fujifilm. Accordingly, the Fujifilm Transactions are expected to be accounted for
as a reverse acquisition.
Xerox must pay to Fujifilm a $183 million termination fee in the event that the Subscription Agreement is terminated
(i) by either party because the applicable shareholder approvals are not obtained if an alternative acquisition
proposal is publicly announced prior to the Xerox shareholder meeting duly called for the purpose of obtaining the
applicable shareholder approvals and Xerox enters into a definitive agreement with respect to, or otherwise
consummates, an alternative acquisition proposal within 12 months after the termination of the Subscription
Agreement; (ii) by Fujifilm (A) in connection with a material and intentional breach by Xerox of its non-solicitation
obligations resulting in a third party making an alternate acquisition proposal that is reasonably likely to materially
interfere with the Fujifilm Transactions or (B) following a change in the recommendation by the Board of Directors of
Xerox; or (iii) by Xerox in order to enter into a definitive agreement with a third party with respect to a superior
proposal, in each case as set forth in, and subject to the conditions of, the Fujifilm Transaction Agreements.
We expect the Fujifilm Transactions, which require Xerox shareholder approval, to close in the second half of 2018
subject to customary regulatory approvals, filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, tax
considerations, and securing any necessary financing. Until the combination is complete, each of Xerox, Fuji Xerox
and Fujifilm will continue to be separate, independent organizations and will operate as usual.

Company Separation
On December 31, 2016, Xerox Corporation completed the Separation of its Business Process Outsourcing (BPO)
business from its Document Technology and Document Outsourcing (DT/DO) business (the “Separation”). The
Separation was accomplished through the transfer of the BPO business into a new legal entity, Conduent
Incorporated (“Conduent”), and then distributing one hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding common stock of
Conduent to Xerox Corporation stockholders (the “Distribution”).
As a result of the Separation and Distribution, the BPO business is presented as discontinued operations and, as
such, has been excluded from continuing operations for all periods presented. Accordingly, continuing operations
represents the ongoing DT/DO business. Refer to Note 5 - Divestitures for additional information regarding
discontinued operations.
Our Business
Xerox is a print technology and intelligent work solutions leader focused on helping people communicate and work
better. We apply our expertise in imaging and printing, data analytics, and the development of secure and
automated solutions to help our customers improve productivity and increase client satisfaction.
We operate in a market estimated at approximately $85 billion(1). Our primary offerings span three main areas:
Managed Document Services, Workplace Solutions and Graphic Communications. Our Managed Document
Services offerings help customers, ranging from small businesses to global enterprises, optimize their printing and
related document workflow and business processes. Xerox led the establishment of this expanding market and
continues as the industry leader. Our Workplace Solutions and Graphic Communications products and solutions
support the work processes of our customers by providing them with efficient and cost effective printing and
workflow solutions.
_____________
(1) Market estimates are derived from third-party forecasts produced by firms such as International Data Corporation (IDC).
Our Strategy and Business Model
Our strategy is to increase our participation in the growth areas of our industry while maintaining leadership in the
more mature areas through innovation in digital print technology and services. Our Strategic Transformation
program (see: Accelerate Productivity and Cost Initiatives through Strategic Transformation section below) is
intended to enable us to make investments to improve our revenue trajectory while expanding our margins. Our
post-sale business model enables us to deliver sustainable cash flows. We believe the combination of an improving
revenue trajectory along with expanding operating margins and strong cash flow will enable us to deliver positive
shareholder returns over time. To accomplish this, we focus on the following areas:
Maintain Leadership and Focus on Strategic Growth Areas
We are a leader in our industry and have a strong and valuable global brand. We systematically evaluate our
competition and the needs of our customers and partners to maintain our leadership position and make the portfolio
and distribution investments to further penetrate growth areas of the market.
We expect to focus on the following:
•
Expand leadership in Managed Document Services by leveraging our strength in large enterprises and
broadening our SMB (small to mid-sized business) offerings.
Increase SMB coverage through resellers and partners (including multi-brand dealers) and continued
distribution acquisitions.
•
• Gain share in the A4 product segment of the market, where historically we have been underrepresented, by
strengthening our product portfolio and increasing our distribution capacity.
Extend leadership in digital color production through continued innovation and growth in new markets.
•
Geographically, our footprint spans approximately 160 countries and allows us to deliver our technology and
solutions to customers of all sizes, regardless of complexity or number of customer locations.
Innovate to Differentiate Our Offerings
We direct our research and development (R&D) investments to areas such as workflow automation, color printing
and customized communication, as well as improving the quality and reducing the environmental impact of digital
printing. We believe that a critical role of our research is to identify new competency areas for the future.
Accordingly, we are investing in new and novel printing technology applications that could offer attractive
opportunities in adjacent markets. We expect this will deliver incremental value for our customers and drive
profitable revenue growth for our business.

Accelerate Productivity and Cost Initiatives through Strategic Transformation
We have a proven track record of maintaining strong margins through ongoing cost and productivity initiatives.
markets shift, we undertake restructuring to optimize our workforce and facilities to best align our resources with the
growth areas of our business, and to maximize profitability and cash flow in businesses that are declining. In 2016,
we initiated a three-year Strategic Transformation program to simplify and create a significantly more effective
organization that delivers productivity and cost reduction beyond our historical range of $300 to $350 million of
annual savings. The program targets areas such as delivery, remote connectivity, sales productivity, pricing
optimization, design efficiency and supply chain optimization. We believe that the program will enable us to reinvest
in our business to improve the revenue trajectory and margin expansion. During the first two years, the program
delivered over $1.2 billion in gross productivity gains and cost savings and we expect it to provide approximately
$475 million of additional cost reductions in 2018. Our goal is to achieve approximately $1.7 billion in savings over
the three-year period, outperforming our initial $1.5 billion target.
As
Engage, Develop and Support Our People
Our offerings are supported by a global workforce focused on delivering value to our customers. We continue to
develop our employees by investing in the processes and systems that enable them to perform their jobs more
effectively. We had approximately 35,300 employees worldwide at December 31, 2017.
Post-Sale Driven Business Model and Shareholder-Centered Capital Allocation
Our business is based on a post-sale, or annuity, model that provides significant recurring revenue and cash
generation. In 2017, over 75% of our total revenue was related to post-sale revenue streams including document
services, equipment maintenance, consumable supplies and financing, among other elements. The remainder of
our revenue was from equipment sales, either from lease agreements that qualify as sales for accounting purposes
or outright cash sales.
Our post-sale model supports ongoing strong cash flows, and we have a balanced capital allocation approach with
the following objectives:
• Maintaining an investment grade credit profile,
•
•
Selectively pursue acquisitions in targeted growth areas, and
Return capital to shareholders, targeting to deliver over 50% of free cash flow back to shareholders through
dividends and share repurchases over time.
Acquisitions and Divestitures
As part of our strategy, we are focused on increasing our Small and Mid-sized (SMB) coverage through resellers
and partners (including multi-brand dealers) and continued distribution acquisitions.
Details about our acquisitions and divestitures in 2017 can be found in Note 4 - Acquisitions and Note 5 -
Divestitures, in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Innovation and Research
Xerox has a rich heritage of innovation, which continues to be a core strength of the company as well as a
competitive differentiator. Our aim is to create value for our customers, our shareholders and our employees by
driving innovation in key areas. Our investments in innovation align with our growth opportunities in areas like
workflow automation, color printing, customized communication and new and novel applications of printing
technology.
Our research efforts can be categorized under four themes:
Digital Printing - Improve the cost and capability of digital printing for documents and beyond
Advances in digital printing are enabling mass customization at a run cost approaching the cost of analog printing.
We are continuously investing in research to reduce the cost of digital printing consumables while maintaining the
high print quality that our customers expect. Our research is also focused on developing new printing technologies
that enable us to print digitally on a broader range of media and substrates such as foils, cartons, and directly on
end-use products, which will open up new growth markets such as digital packaging. Printing with functional inks
will also allow us to add intelligence to packaging, such as sensors, memory, and interactive features, which will
enable new analytic-based services, higher security and new consumer experiences. As a responsible corporate
citizen, we are also investing in research to lower the environmental impact of our products and consumables.

Personalization at Scale - Enhance value by providing secure, real-time, context-aware personalized
products, solutions and services
Whether business correspondence, personal communication, manufactured items or information services,
personalization increases the value of communication. Our research leads to technologies that improve the
efficiency, economics, relevance and security of our customers' products and services. We help customers improve
the impact of their communications by leveraging vast information resources available from private databases or
public sources including social media and delivering personalized messages, products and services. Examples of
innovation focus areas include creating new capabilities in imaging, multi-media marketing campaign management,
workflow automation and augmented reality to deliver personalization at scale.
Agile Enterprise - Create simple, automated and touch-less business workflows resulting in lower cost,
higher quality and increased agility
Enterprises of all sizes require agility in order to quickly respond to market changes and new requirements. To
enable greater business process agility, our research goals are to simplify, automate and enable business
processes on the cloud via flexible platforms that run on robust and scalable infrastructures. We continue to invest
in new capabilities to help people better leverage and integrate paper and digital workflows. And we go beyond that
to develop innovations for the automation of business workflows. These capabilities leverage our research in image,
video and natural language processing, as well as machine learning. Application of these methods to business
workflows enables technology automate tasks, thus allowing workers to focus on higher value activities.
Usable Analytics - Transform big data into useful information resulting in better business decisions
Competitive advantage can be achieved by better utilizing available and real-time information. Today, information
resides in an ever-increasing universe of servers, repositories and formats. The vast majority of information is
unstructured, including text, images, voice and videos. One of our key research areas is making sense of
unstructured information using natural language processing and semantic analysis. A second major research area
focuses on developing proprietary methods for prescriptive analytics applied to business processes. Here, we seek
to better manage very large data systems in order to extract business insights and use those insights to provide our
clients with actionable recommendations. Tailoring these methods to various vertical applications leads to new
customer value propositions.
Our innovation goals are supported by cross disciplinary research programs in our different research centers.
PARC, the most prominent of these centers, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xerox located in Silicon Valley,
California. It provides Xerox commercial and government clients with R&D and open innovation services. PARC
scientists have deep technological expertise in areas that we consider fundamental to bring high-impact innovations
to our customers and the world; such areas include big data analytics, intelligent sensing, computer vision,
networking, printed electronics, energy, and digital design and manufacturing.
Investment in R&D is critical for competitiveness in our fast-paced markets. One of the ways that we maintain our
market leadership is through coordination of our R&D with Fuji Xerox (an equity investment in which we maintain a
25% ownership interest).
Our total research, development and engineering expenses (RD&E), which include sustaining engineering
expenses for hardware engineering and software development after we launch a product, totaled $446 million in
2017, $476 million in 2016 and $511 million in 2015. Fuji Xerox R&D expenses were $536 million in 2017, $628
million in 2016 and $569 million in 2015.
Segment Information
Following the separation of the BPO business, we realigned our operations to better manage the business and
serve our customers and the markets in which we operate. In 2017, we transitioned to a geographic focus and are
primarily organized from a sales perspective on the basis of “go-to-market” sales channels. These sales channels
are structured to serve a range of customers for our products and services. As a result of this transition and change
in structure, we concluded that we have one operating and reportable segment - the design, development and sale
of printing technology and related solutions.
Accordingly, the section below primarily discusses the business based on our primary offerings (Managed
Document Services, Workplace Solutions and Graphic Communications) that are brought to the market through
these geographic-based sales channels.

Revenues
We have a broad and diverse base of customers by both geography and industry, ranging from SMBs to graphic
communications companies, governmental entities, educational institutions and Fortune 1000 corporations. Our
business does not depend upon a single customer, or a few customers, the loss of which would have a material
adverse effect on our business. Our business spans three primary offering areas: Managed Document Services
(MDS), Workplace Solutions and Graphic Communications. In addition, a smaller portion of our revenues comes
from non-core streams including paper sales in our developing market countries, wide-format systems, licensing
revenue and Global Imaging Systems network integration solutions.
Our Managed Document Services includes a continuum of solutions and services that helps our customers
optimize their print and communications infrastructure, ensure the highest levels of security & productivity, and
enable their digital business objectives. Our primary offerings within Managed Document Services are Managed
Print Services (MPS), Multi-Channel Communication Services and a range of Digital Solutions including Workflow
Automation Services, Content Management and Digitization Services. MDS excludes legacy printing sourcing
contracts that transferred to us upon the spin-off of the BPO business.
In our MPS business, we help companies assess and optimize their print infrastructure, secure and integrate their
environment and automate and simplify their business processes. We provide the most comprehensive portfolio of
MPS services in the industry and are recognized as an industry leader by major analyst firms including Gartner
IDC, Quocirca, InfoTrends and Forrester. Our MPS offering targets clients ranging from large, global enterprises to
.
governmental entities and to small and medium-sized businesses, including those served via our channel partners
Our Next Generation Xerox Partner Print Services is a comprehensive suite of services that allows channel partners
to support their SMB customers with some of our best-in-class tools, processes, and workflow solutions developed
by Xerox for large enterprises.
,
In our Multi-Channel Communications Services business, we help large enterprise and global clients drive ef
communications across a range of digital and physical touch points. We offer a range of platform-enabled digital
services that deliver relevant and timely communications focused on customer acquisition, onboarding or retention.
Our portfolio includes Collateral Management Services, Demand Generation Services, Product Information
Management Services and Centralized Print Production Services.
fective
Our Digital Solutions portfolio features our Workflow Automation solutions, Content Management solutions and
Digitization Services. Our Xerox Workflow Automation Services help our customers assess, optimize and automate
their workflow in a secure and integrated IT environment. By eliminating ineffective processes, we bring our clients
operational excellence in routine workflows as well as industry-specific processes. These offerings are enhanced
and complemented by our proprietary content management software solutions including DocuShare 7 and our
cloud-based DocuShare Flex platform. In addition, we operate a network of centers that digitize and automate
paper & digital workflows enabling our customers to operate cost-efficiently in a fully-digitized environment with
speed, quality and 24x7 availability.
Our Workplace Solutions area is made up of two strategic product groups, Entry and Mid-Range, which share
common technology, manufacturing and product platforms. Workplace Solutions revenues include the sale of
products and supplies, as well as the associated technical service and financing of those products.
•
Entry comprises desktop monochrome and color printers and multifunction printers (MFPs) ranging from small
personal devices to workgroup printers and MFPs that serve the needs of office workgroups. Entry products are
sold to customers in all segments from SMB to enterprise, principally through a global network of reseller
partners and service providers, as well as through our direct sales force.
• Mid-Range are larger devices that have more features and can handle higher print volumes and larger paper
sizes than Entry devices. These products are sold through dedicated partners, our direct sales force, multi-
branded channel partners and resellers worldwide. We are a leader in this area of the market and offer a wide
range of MFPs, copiers, digital printing presses and light production devices, and solutions that deliver flexibility
and advanced features.
Our Graphic Communications Solutions are designed for customers in the graphic communications, in-plant and
production print environments with high-volume printing requirements. These solutions enable full-color, on-demand
printing of a wide range of applications, including variable data for personalized content and one-to-one marketing.
Graphic Communications Solutions revenues include the sale of products, software and supplies, as well as the
associated technical service and financing of those products.
• Our cut-sheet presses provide graphic communications and commercial printers with high speed, high-volume
printing. They are ideal for publishing, transaction printing, print on demand and one-to-one marketing, offering
Xerox 2017 Annual Report 5
1026325_XRX-2017-10K.pdf 11
4/6/18 11:52 AM
the best in high speed, productivity and resolution and color. We are the worldwide leader in the cut-sheet color
and monochrome production industry.
• Our inkjet presses offer a broad range of roll fed, continuous feed printing technologies, including waterless
inkjet and aqueous inkjet for vivid color, and toner-based flash fusing for black and white. Our portfolio spans a
variety of print speeds, image quality, feeding, finishing and media options. We continue to develop and
integrate our production inkjet business to bring the high-end capabilities of toner-based presses such as speed
and inline color correction to the more price sensitive market of inkjet.
• Our FreeFlow portfolio of software offerings brings intelligent automation and integration to the processing of
print jobs, from file preparation to final production, for a touchless workflow. It helps customers of all sizes
address a wide range of business opportunities including automation, personalization and even electronic
publishing. In 2017, we sold our FreeFlow Print Server (FFPS) DFE business to Electronics for Imaging (EFI).
Under the terms of the deal, we established a strategic partnership that will bring to market a next generation
digital front end (DFE) solution with more efficiencies, performance and quality to meet the most demanding
production requirements. Additionally, EFI will continue to supply and support the current range of FFPS. It
should be noted that the sale agreement comprises only the small FFPS business and does not impact our
FreeFlow portfolio of software solutions which remains a key plank for our customers’ workflow strategy.
Geographic Information
Overall, approximately 40% of our revenue is generated by customers outside the U.S. Additional details can be
found in Note 3 - Segment and Geographic Area Reporting.
Patents, Trademarks and Licenses
In 2017, Xerox and its subsidiaries were awarded 544 U.S. utility patents. Including our research partner Fuji Xerox,
we were awarded 1,116 U.S. utility patents during the period. Our patent portfolio evolves as new patents are
awarded to us and as older patents expire. As of December 31, 2017, Xerox held approximately 11,470 U.S. design
and utility patents. These patents expire at various dates up to 20 years or more from their original filing
dates. While we believe that our portfolio of patents and applications has value, in general no single patent is
essential to our business. In addition, any of our proprietary rights could be challenged, invalidated or circumvented,
or may not provide significant competitive advantages.
In 2017, we were party to numerous patent-licensing agreements and, in a majority of them, we licensed or
assigned our patents to others in return for revenue and/or access to their patents or to further our business
goals. Most patent licenses expire concurrently with the expiration of the last patent identified in the license. We
were also party to a number of cross-licensing agreements with companies that also hold substantial patent
portfolios. These agreements vary in subject matter, scope, compensation, significance and duration.
In the U.S., we own about 210 U.S. trademarks, either registered or applied for. These trademarks have a perpetual
life, subject to renewal every 10 years. We vigorously enforce and protect our trademarks.
Marketing and Distribution
We go to market with a services-led approach and sell our products and services directly to customers through our
worldwide sales force and through independent agents, dealers, value-added resellers, systems integrators and the
Web. In addition, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Global Imaging Systems (GIS), an office technology dealer
comprised of regional core companies in the U.S., sells document management and network integration systems
and services. We continued to broaden our distribution to small and mid-sized businesses in 2017 through
expanding our network of resellers and partners (including multi-brand dealers) as well as GIS's acquisition of three
equipment and document services dealer companies.
In Europe, Africa, the Middle East and parts of Asia, we distribute our products through Xerox Limited, a company
established under the laws of England, as well as through related non-U.S. companies. Xerox Limited enters into
distribution agreements with unaffiliated third parties to distribute our products in many of the countries located in
these regions, and previously entered into agreements with unaffiliated third parties who distribute our products in
Sudan. Sudan, among others, has been designated as a state sponsor of terrorism by the U.S. Department of State
and is subject to U.S. economic sanctions. We maintain an export and sanctions compliance program, and believe
that we have been, and are in compliance with, U.S. laws and government regulations for Sudan. We have no
assets, liabilities or operations in Sudan other than liabilities under the distribution agreements. After observing
required prior notice periods, Xerox Limited terminated its distribution agreements with distributors servicing Sudan
in August 2006. Now, Xerox has only legacy obligations to third parties, such as providing spare parts and supplies
to these third parties. In 2017, total Xerox revenues of $10.3 billion included approximately $11 thousand
attributable to Sudan.

Competition
Although we encounter competition in all areas of our business, we are the leader - or among the leaders - in each
of our primary offering areas. We compete on the basis of technology, performance, price, quality, reliability, brand,
distribution and customer service and support.
Our larger competitors include Canon, Hewlett-Packard Inc., Konica Minolta and Ricoh. Our brand recognition,
reputation for document management expertise, innovative technology and service delivery excellence are our
competitive advantages. These advantages, combined with our breadth of product offerings, global distribution
channels and customer relationships, position us as a strong competitor going forward.
Customer Financing
We finance a large portion of our direct channel customer purchases of Xerox equipment through bundled lease
agreements. We also provide lease financing to end-user customers who purchased Xerox equipment through our
indirect channels. We compete with other third-party leasing companies with respect to the lease financing provide
to these end-user customers. In both instances, financing facilitates customer acquisition of Xerox technology and
enhances our value proposition, while providing Xerox a reasonable return on our investment in this business.
Additionally, because we primarily finance our own products and have a long history of providing financing to our
customers, we are able to minimize much of the risk normally associated with a finance business.
Because our lease contracts allow customers to pay for equipment over time rather than upfront upon installation,
we maintain a certain level of debt to support our investment in these lease contracts. We fund our customer
financing activity through a combination of cash generated from operations, cash on hand and proceeds from
capital market offerings. At December 31, 2017, we had approximately $3.7 billion of finance receivables and $0.5
billion of equipment on operating leases, or Total Finance assets of $4.2 billion. We maintain an assumed 7:1
leverage ratio of debt to equity as compared to our Finance assets, which results in approximately $3.7 billion of our
$5.5 billion of debt being allocated to our financing business.

Discussion and Analysis, included in Item 7 of this 2017 Form 10-K, for additional information.
Manufacturing and Supply
Our manufacturing and distribution facilities are located around the world. Our largest manufacturing site is in
Webster, N.Y., where we produce the Xerox iGen, Nuvera, Brenva and Direct to Object Inkjet Printer systems,
components, EA Toner, consumables, fusers and other products. Our other primary manufacturing operations are
located in Dundalk, Ireland, for our High-End production products and consumables; Wilsonville, OR, for solid ink
consumable supplies and components; and Aubagne, France, for Impika aqueous ink-jet production systems. W
e
also have a facility in Venray, Netherlands, that manufactures supplies and provides supply chain management for
our international operations.
We have arrangements with Fuji Xerox under which we purchase and sell products, some of which are the result of
mutual research and development agreements. Refer to Note 10 - Investments in Affiliates, at Equity in the
Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our relationship with Fuji Xerox.
We maintain a long-standing relationship of over 15 years with FLEX LTD (Flex) (formerly Flextronics), a global
electronics manufacturing services company, for our mid-range and entry businesses. Our master supply
agreement with Flex renews on an annual basis.
We also acquire products from various third parties in order to increase the breadth of our product portfolio and
meet channel requirements.
Fuji Xerox
Fuji Xerox is an unconsolidated entity in which we own a 25% interest and FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation (Fujifilm)
owns a 75% interest. Fuji Xerox develops, manufactures and distributes document processing products in Japan,
China, Hong Kong, other areas of the Pacific Rim, Australia and New Zealand. We retain significant rights as a
minority shareholder. Our technology licensing agreements with Fuji Xerox ensure that the two companies retain
uninterrupted access to each other's portfolio of patents, technology and products. Refer to Note 10 - Investment in
Affiliates, at Equity in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our investment in
Fuji Xerox.

Backlog
Backlog, or the value of unfilled equipment orders, is not a meaningful indicator of future business prospects
because a significant proportion of our revenue is fulfilled from existing inventories or within a short period of order
signing.
Seasonality
Our revenues are affected by such factors as the introduction of new products, the length of sales cycles and the
seasonality of technology purchases and printing volumes. These factors have historically resulted in lower
revenues, operating profits and operating cash flows in the first and third quarter.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
If we are unsuccessful at addressing our business challenges, our business and results of operations may
be adversely affected and our ability to invest in and grow our business could be limited.
We are in the process of addressing many challenges facing our business. One set of challenges relates to dynamic
and accelerating market trends, such as the declines in installations and printed pages, fewer devices per location
and an increase in electronic documentation. A second set of challenges relates to changes in the competitive
landscape. Our primary competitors are exerting increased competitive pressure in targeted areas and are entering
new markets; our emerging competitors are introducing new technologies and business models. These market and
competitive trends make it difficult to reverse the current declines in revenue over the past several years. A third set
of challenges relates to our continued efforts to reduce costs and increase productivity in light of declining revenues.
In addition, we are vulnerable to increased risks associated with our efforts to address these challenges given the
markets in which we compete, as well as, the broad range of geographic regions in which we and our customers
and partners operate. If we do not succeed in these efforts, or if these efforts are more costly or time-consuming
than expected, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected, which could limit our ability to
invest in and grow our business.
Our business, results of operations and financial condition may be negatively impacted by conditions
abroad, including local economic and political environments, fluctuating foreign currencies and shifting
regulatory schemes.
A significant portion of our revenue is generated from operations, and we manufacture or acquire many of our
products and/or their components, outside the United States. Our future revenues, costs and results of operations
could be significantly affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates - particularly the Japanese yen, the
euro and the British pound - as well as by a number of other factors, including changes in local economic and
political conditions, trade protection measures, licensing requirements, local tax regulations and other related legal
matters. We use currency derivative contracts to hedge foreign currency denominated assets, liabilities and
anticipated transactions. This practice is intended to mitigate or reduce volatility in the results of our foreign
operations, but does not completely eliminate it. We do not hedge the translation effect of international revenues
and expenses that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. If our future revenues, costs and
results of operations are significantly affected by economic or political conditions abroad and we are unable to
effectively hedge these risks, they could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

We operate globally and changes in tax laws could adversely affect our results.
We operate globally and changes in tax laws could adversely affect our results. We operate in approximately 160
countries and generate substantial revenues and profits in foreign jurisdictions. The international tax environment
continues to change as a result of both coordinated actions by governments and unilateral measures designed by
individual countries, both intended to tackle concerns over base erosion and profit shifting and perceived
international tax avoidance techniques. The recommendations of the BEPS Project led by the Organization for
Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) are involved in much of the coordinated activity, although the
timing and methods of implementation vary. Additionally, the U.S. government recently enacted comprehensive tax
Tax
reform in December of 2017 through the passage and signing of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act"). The
Act significantly revised the U.S. corporate income tax system. The exact ramifications of the legislation is subject to
interpretation and could have a material impact on our financial position and/or results of operations.
Although our 2017 results of operations reflect our best estimate of the impact of the new tax law, future regulatory
direction associated with the new tax law as well as new legislative developments could adversely affect our future
effective tax rate and results.
If we fail to successfully develop new products, technologies and service offerings and protect our
intellectual property rights, we may be unable to retain current customers and gain new customers and our
revenues would decline.
The process of developing new products and solutions is inherently complex and uncertain. It requires accurate
anticipation of customers' changing needs and emerging technological trends. We must work with our supply
partners and commit resources before knowing whether these initiatives will result in products that are commercially
successful and generate the revenues required to provide desired returns. In developing these new technologies
and products, we rely upon patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws in the United States and similar laws
in other countries, and agreements with our employees, customers, suppliers and other parties, to establish and
maintain our intellectual property rights in technology and products used in our operations. It is possible that our
intellectual property rights could be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, allowing others to use our intellectual
property to our competitive detriment. Also, the laws of certain countries may not protect our proprietary rights to the
same extent as the laws of the United States and we may be unable to protect our proprietary technology
adequately against unauthorized third-party copying or use, which could adversely affect our competitive position. In
addition, some of our products rely on technologies developed by third parties. We may not be able to obtain or to
continue to obtain licenses and technologies from these third parties at all or on reasonable terms, or such third
parties may demand cross-licenses to our intellectual property. If we fail to accurately anticipate and meet our
customers' needs through the development of new products, technologies and service offerings or if we fail to
adequately protect our intellectual property rights, we could lose market share and customers to our competitors
and that could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Our government contracts are subject to termination rights, audits and investigations, which, if exercised,
could negatively impact our reputation and reduce our ability to compete for new contracts.
A significant portion of our revenues is derived from contracts with U.S. federal, state and local governments and
their agencies, as well as international governments and their agencies. Government entities typically finance
projects through appropriated funds. While these projects are often planned and executed as multi-year projects,
government entities usually reserve the right to change the scope of or terminate these projects for lack of approved
funding and/or at their convenience. Changes in government or political developments, including budget deficits,
shortfalls or uncertainties, government spending reductions (e.g., Congressional sequestration of funds under the
Budget Control Act of 2011) or other debt or funding constraints, could result in lower governmental sales and in our
projects being reduced in price or scope or terminated altogether, which also could limit our recovery of incurred
costs, reimbursable expenses and profits on work completed prior to the termination.
Additionally, government agencies routinely audit government contracts. If the government finds that we
inappropriately charged costs to a contract, the costs will be non-reimbursable or, to the extent reimbursed,
refunded to the government. If the government discovers improper or illegal activities or contractual non-compliance
in the course of audits or investigations, we may be subject to various civil and criminal penalties and administrative
sanctions, including termination of contracts, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines and suspensions or
debarment from doing business with the government. Any resulting penalties or sanctions could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Further, the negative
publicity that arises from findings in such audits or, investigations could have an adverse effect on our reputation
and reduce our ability to compete for new contracts and could also have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

4/6/18 11:52 AM
We face significant competition and our failure to compete successfully could adversely affect our results
of operations and financial condition.
We operate in an environment of significant competition, driven by rapid technological developments, changes in
industry standards, and demands of customers to become more efficient. Our competitors include large
international companies some of which have significant financial resources and compete with us globally to provide
document processing products and services in each of the markets we serve. We compete primarily on the basis of
technology, performance, price, quality, reliability, brand, distribution and customer service and support. Our future
success is largely dependent upon our ability to compete in the markets we currently serve, to promptly and
effectively react to changing technologies and customer expectations and to expand into additional market
segments. To remain competitive, we must develop services, applications and new products; periodically enhance
our existing offerings; remain cost efficient; and attract and retain key personnel and management. If we are unable
to compete successfully, we could lose market share and important customers to our competitors and such loss
could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Our profitability is dependent upon our ability to obtain adequate pricing for our products and services and
to improve our cost structure.
Our success depends on our ability to obtain adequate pricing for our products and services that will provide a
reasonable return to our shareholders. Depending on competitive market factors, future prices we obtain for our
products and services may decline from current levels. In addition, pricing actions to offset the effect of currency
devaluations may not prove sufficient to offset further devaluations or may not hold in the face of customer
resistance and/or competition. If we are unable to obtain adequate pricing for our products and services, it could
materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
We continually review our operations with a view towards reducing our cost structure, including reducing our
employee base, exiting certain businesses, improving process and system efficiencies and outsourcing some
internal functions. We engage in restructuring actions to reduce our cost structure. If we are unable to continue to
maintain our cost base at or below the current level and maintain process and systems changes resulting from prior
restructuring actions, it could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Our ability to sustain and improve profit margins is dependent on a number of factors, including our ability to
continue to improve the cost efficiency of our operations through such programs as the Strategic Transformation
program, the level of pricing pressures on our products and services, the proportion of high-end as opposed to low-
end equipment sales (product mix), the trend in our post-sale revenue growth and our ability to successfully
complete information technology initiatives. If any of these factors adversely materialize or if we are unable to
achieve and maintain productivity improvements through design efficiency, supplier and manufacturing cost
improvements and information technology initiatives, our ability to offset labor cost inflation, potential materials cost
increases and competitive price pressures would be impaired, all of which could materially adversely affect our
results of operations and financial condition.
We are subject to laws of the United States and foreign jurisdictions relating to individually identifiable
information, and failure to comply with those laws could subject us to legal actions and negatively impact
our operations.
We receive, process, transmit and store information relating to identifiable individuals, both in our role as a
technology provider and as an employer. As a result, we are subject to numerous United States (both federal and
state) and foreign jurisdiction laws and regulations designed to protect individually identifiable information. These
laws have been subject to frequent changes, and new legislation in this area may be enacted at any time. For
example, the General Data Protection Regulation will come into force in the European Union in May 2018. Changes
to existing laws, introduction of new laws in this area, or failure to comply with existing laws that are applicable to us
may subject us to, among other things, additional costs or changes to our business practices, liability for monetary
damages, fines and/or criminal prosecution, unfavorable publicity, restrictions on our ability to obtain and process
information and allegations by our customers and clients that we have not performed our contractual obligations,
any of which may have a material adverse effect on our profitability and cash flow.
We are subject to breaches of our security systems, cyber attacks and service interruptions which could
expose us to liability, litigation, and regulatory action and damage our reputation.
We have implemented security systems with the intent of maintaining and protecting our own, and our customers',
clients' and suppliers' confidential information, including information related to identifiable individuals, against
unauthorized access or disclosure. Despite such efforts, we may be subject to breaches of our security systems
resulting in unauthorized access to our facilities or information systems and the information we are trying to protect.
10
1026325_XRX-2017-10K.pdf 16
4/6/18 11:52 AM
Moreover, the risk of such attacks includes attempted breeches not only of our systems, but also those of our
customers, clients and suppliers. The techniques used to obtain unauthorized access are constantly changing, are
becoming increasingly more sophisticated and often are not recognized until after an exploitation of information has
occurred. Therefore, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or implement sufficient preventative
measures. Unauthorized access to our facilities or information systems, or those of our suppliers, or accidental loss
or disclosure of proprietary or confidential information about us, our clients or our customers could result in, among
other things, a total shutdown of our systems that would disrupt our ability to conduct business or pay vendors and
employees. In the event of such actions, we could be exposed to unfavorable publicity, governmental inquiry and
oversight, litigation by affected parties and possible financial obligations for damages related to the theft or misuse
of such information, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our profitability and cash flow. While from
time to time attempts are made to access our systems, these attempts have not resulted in any material release of
information, degradation or disruption to our systems. We may also find it necessary to make significant further
investments to protect this information and our infrastructure.
We have outsourced a significant portion of our manufacturing operations and increasingly rely on third-
party manufacturers, subcontractors and suppliers.
We have outsourced a significant portion of our manufacturing operations to third parties. We face the risk that
those manufacturers may not be able to develop manufacturing methods appropriate for our products, quickly
respond to changes in customer demand, and obtain supplies and materials necessary for the manufacturing
process. In addition, they may experience labor shortages and/or disruptions, manufacturing costs could be higher
than planned and the reliability of our products could decline. If any of these risks were to be realized, and similar
third-party manufacturing relationships could not be established, we could experience interruptions in supply or
increases in costs that might result in our being unable to meet customer demand for our products, damage our
relationships with our customers and reduce our market share, all of which could materially adversely affect our
results of operations and financial condition.
In addition, in our services business we may partner with other parties, including software and hardware vendors, to
provide the complex solutions required by our customers. Therefore, our ability to deliver the solutions and provide
the services required by our customers is dependent on our and our partners' ability to meet our customers'
requirements and schedules. If we or our partners fail to deliver services or products as required and on time, our
ability to complete the contract may be adversely affected, which may have an adverse impact on our revenue and
profits.
We need to successfully manage changes in the printing environment and market because our operating
results may be negatively impacted by lower equipment placements and usage trends.
The printing market and environment is changing as a result of new technologies, shifts in customer preferences in
office printing and the expansion of new printing markets. Examples include mobile printing, color printing,
packaging, print on objects, continuous feed inkjet printing and the expansion of the market for entry products (A4
printers) and high-end products. A significant part of our strategy and ultimate success in this changing market is
our ability to develop and market technology that produces products and services that meet these changes. Our
future success in executing on this strategy depends on our ability to make the investments and commit the
necessary resources in this highly competitive market. If we are unable to develop and market advanced and
competitive technologies, it may negatively impact expansion of our worldwide equipment placements, as well as
sales of services and supplies occurring after the initial equipment placement (post sale revenue) in the key growth
markets of digital printing, color and multifunction systems. We expect that revenue growth can be improved
through our document management and consulting services in the areas of personalized and product life cycle
communications, enterprise managed print services and document content and imaging. The ability to achieve
growth in our equipment placements is subject to the successful implementation of our initiatives to provide
advanced systems, industry-oriented global solutions and services for major customers, improve direct and indirect
sales efficiency and expand and successfully manage our indirect distribution channels in the face of global
competition and pricing pressures. Our ability to preserve our post sale revenue streams is largely dependent on
our ability to increase the volume of pages printed, the mix and price of color pages, equipment utilization and color
adoption, as well as our ability to retain a high level of supplies sales in unbundled contracts. There will be a lag
between the increase in equipment placements and an increase in post-sale revenues. In addition, with respect to
our indirect distribution channels, many of our partners sell competing products, further increasing the need to
successfully manage our relationships with our partners to ensure they meet our specific sale and distribution
requirements for equipment placements and post sale revenues. If we are unable to maintain a consistent level of
revenue, it could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

4/6/18 11:52 AM
Our ability to fund our customer financing activities at economically competitive levels depends on our
ability to borrow and the cost of borrowing in the credit markets.
The long-term viability and profitability of our customer financing activities is dependent, in part, on our ability to
borrow and the cost of borrowing in the credit markets. This ability and cost, in turn, is dependent on our credit
rating, which is currently investment grade, and is subject to credit market volatility. We primarily fund our customer
financing activity through a combination of cash generated from operations, cash on hand, capital market offerings,
sales and securitizations of finance receivables and commercial paper borrowings. Our ability to continue to offer
customer financing and be successful in the placement of equipment with customers is largely dependent on our
ability to obtain funding at a reasonable cost. If we are unable to continue to offer customer financing, it could
materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Our significant debt could adversely affect our financial health and pose challenges for conducting our
business.
Our ability to provide customer financing is a significant competitive advantage. We have and will continue to have
a significant amount of debt and other obligations, the majority of which support our customer financing activities.
Our substantial debt and other obligations could have important consequences. For example, it could (i) increase
our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; (ii) limit our ability to obtain additional
financing for future working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate requirements;
(iii) increase our vulnerability to interest rate fluctuations because a portion of our debt has variable interest rates;
(iv) require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to service debt and other
obligations thereby reducing the availability of our cash flows from operations for other purposes; (v) limit our
flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our businesses and the industries in which we operate; (vi) place
us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; and (vii) become due and
payable upon a change in control. If new debt is added to our current debt levels, these related risks could increase.
Our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected by employee benefit-related
funding requirements.
We sponsor several defined benefit pension and retiree-health benefit plans throughout the world. We are required
to make contributions to these plans to comply with minimum funding requirements imposed by laws governing
these employee benefit plans. Although most of our major defined benefit plans have been amended to freeze
current benefits and eliminate benefit accruals for future service, the projected benefit obligations under these
benefit plans is measured annually and at December 31, 2017 exceeded the value of the assets of those plans by
approximately $1.4 billion. The current underfunded status of these plans is a significant factor in determining the
ongoing future contributions we will be required to make to these plans. Accordingly, we expect to have additional
funding requirements in future years and we may make additional, voluntary contributions to the plans. Depending
on our cash position at the time, any such funding or contributions to our defined benefit plans could impact our
operating flexibility and financial position, including adversely affecting our cash flow for the quarter in which such
funding or contributions are made. Weak economic conditions and related under-performance of asset markets
could also lead to increases in our funding requirements.
We need to maintain adequate liquidity in order to meet our operating cash flow requirements, repay
maturing debt and meet other financial obligations, such as payment of dividends to the extent declared by
our Board of Directors. If we fail to comply with the covenants contained in our various borrowing
agreements, it may adversely affect our liquidity, results of operations and financial condition.
Our liquidity is a function of our ability to successfully generate cash flows from a combination of efficient operations
and continuing operating improvements, access to capital markets and funding from third parties. We believe our
liquidity (including operating and other cash flows that we expect to generate) will be sufficient to meet operating
requirements as they occur; however, our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity going forward subject to the general
liquidity of and on-going changes in the credit markets as well as general economic, financial, competitive,
legislative, regulatory and other market factors that are beyond our control.
Our $1.8 billion credit facility (the "Credit Facility") contains financial maintenance covenants, including maximum
leverage (debt for borrowed money divided by consolidated EBITDA, as defined) and a minimum interest coverage
ratio (consolidated EBITDA divided by consolidated interest expense, as defined). At December 31, 2017, we were
in full compliance with the covenants and other provisions of the Credit Facility. Failure to comply with material
provisions or covenants in the Credit Facility could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, results of
operations and financial condition.

Our business, results of operations and financial condition may be negatively impacted by legal and
regulatory matters.
We have various contingent liabilities that are not reflected on our balance sheet, including those arising as a result
of being involved in a variety of claims, lawsuits, investigations and proceedings concerning: securities law;
governmental entity contracting, servicing and procurement laws; intellectual property law; environmental law;
employment law; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA); and other laws and regulations, as
discussed in the “Contingencies” note in the Consolidated Financial Statements. 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 materially increase an existing accrual, or should any of these matters result in a
final adverse judgment or be settled for significant amounts above any existing accruals, it 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.
Due to the international scope of our operations, we are subject to a complex system of commercial and trade
regulations around the world. Recent years have seen an increase in the development and enforcement of laws
regarding trade compliance and anti-corruption, such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar laws
from other countries. Our numerous foreign subsidiaries, affiliates and joint venture partners are governed by laws,
rules and business practices that differ from those of the U.S. The activities of these entities may not comply with
U.S. laws or business practices or our Code of Business Conduct. Violations of these laws may result in severe
criminal or civil sanctions, could disrupt our business, and result in an adverse effect on our reputation, business
and results of operations or financial condition. We cannot predict the nature, scope or effect of future regulatory
requirements to which our operations might be subject or the manner in which existing laws might be administered
or interpreted.
Our operations and our products are subject to environmental regulations in each of the jurisdictions in which we
conduct our business and sell our products. Some of our manufacturing operations use, and some of our products
contain, substances that are regulated in various jurisdictions. For example, various countries and jurisdictions have
adopted, or are expected to adopt, restrictions on the types and amounts of chemicals that may be present in
electronic equipment or other items that we use or sell. Recently, a number of studies have been published by third
parties regarding chemicals utilized in our industry, as well as potential health/safety impacts of machine emissions.
Additional studies are planned, and depending on the results of such studies, regulatory initiatives could follow
. We
are monitoring these developments. If we do not comply with applicable rules and regulations in connection with the
use of such substances and the sale of products containing such substances, then we could be subject to liability
fect
and could be prohibited from selling our products in their existing forms, which could have a material adverse ef
on our results of operations and financial condition. Further, various countries and jurisdictions have adopted or are
expected to adopt, programs that make producers of electrical goods, including computers and printers, responsible
for certain labeling, collection, recycling, treatment and disposal of these recovered products. If we are unable to
collect, recycle, treat and dispose of our products in a cost-effective manner and in accordance with applicable
requirements, it could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Other potentially relevant initiatives throughout the world include proposals for more extensive chemical registration
requirements and/or possible bans on the use of certain chemicals, various efforts to limit energy use in products
and other environmentally related-programs impacting products and operations, such as those associated with
climate change accords, agreements and regulations. For example, the European Union's Energy-Related Products
Directive (ERP) has led to the adoption of “implementing measures” or "voluntary agreements" that require certain
classes of products to achieve certain design and/or performance standards, in connection with energy use and
potentially other environmental parameters and impacts. A number of our products are already required to comply
with ERP requirements and further regulations are being developed by the EU authorities. Another example is the
European Union “REACH” Regulation (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals), a
broad initiative that requires parties throughout the supply chain to register, assess and disclose information
regarding many chemicals in their products. Depending on the types, applications, forms and uses of chemical
substances in various products, REACH and similar regulatory programs in other jurisdictions could lead to
restrictions and/or bans on certain chemical usage. In the United States, the Toxics Substances Control Act
(“TSCA”) is undergoing a major overhaul with similar potential for regulatory challenges. Xerox continues its ef
toward monitoring and evaluating the applicability of these and numerous other regulatory initiatives in an effort to
develop compliance strategies. As these and similar initiatives and programs become regulatory requirements
throughout the world and/or are adopted as public or private procurement requirements, we must comply or
potentially face market access limitations that could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial
condition. Similarly, environmentally driven procurement requirements voluntarily adopted by customers in the
forts

4/6/18 11:52 AM
marketplace (e.g., U.S. EPA EnergyStar, EPEAT) are constantly evolving and becoming more stringent, presenting
further market access challenges if our products fail to comply. Concern over climate change, including global
warming, has led to legislative and regulatory initiatives directed at limiting greenhouse gas emissions. For
example, proposals that would impose mandatory requirements on greenhouse gas emissions continue to be
considered by policy makers in the countries, states and territories in which we operate. Enacted laws and/or
regulatory actions to address concerns about climate change and greenhouse gas emissions could negatively
impact our business, including the availability of our products or the cost to obtain or sell those products.
The separation of our Business Process Outsourcing (“BPO”) business from our Document Technology
and Document Outsourcing business into two independent, publicly-traded companies may not yield the
expected benefits.
The separation of our BPO business from our Document Technology and Document Outsourcing business into two
independent, publicly-traded companies was completed on December 31, 2016. The Company may not be able to
achieve the full strategic and financial benefits expected to result from the separation, or such benefits may be
delayed or not occur at all. The expected increased focus of management exclusively on the Company’s own
business and its distinct needs, may not yield expected long-term growth and profitability. In addition, the separation
has resulted in the Company becoming a smaller, less diversified enterprise with a narrower market focus, which
could make it more vulnerable to changing market conditions and other adverse events. Further, although we have
received an opinion from outside counsel as to the tax-free nature of the Separation, there can be no assurance
that the United States Internal Revenue Service will not challenge this position or that a court would not sustain
such a challenge. The potential negative impact of these events could have a material adverse impact on our
business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Our business and reputation could be negatively affected as a result of activist shareholders.
Certain of our shareholders have expressed views with respect to the operation of our business, our business
strategy, corporate governance considerations or other matters that may not be fully aligned with our own.
Responding to actions by activist shareholders can be costly and time-consuming, disrupt our operations and divert
the attention of management and our employees. Perceived uncertainties as to our future direction may result in the
loss of potential business opportunities, damage to our reputation and may make it more difficult to attract and
retain qualified directors, personnel and business partners. These actions could also cause our stock price to
experience periods of volatility.
Risk Factors Related to the Fujifilm Transactions
Our expectations regarding our business may be impacted by the following risk factors related to the pending
Fujifilm Transactions:
The pendency of the Fujifilm Transactions could adversely affect our business.
In connection with the Fujifilm Transactions, some of our suppliers and customers may delay or defer sales and
purchasing decisions, which could negatively impact revenues, earnings and cash flows regardless of whether the
Fujifilm Transactions are completed. We have agreed in the Fujifilm Transaction Agreements to refrain from taking
certain actions with respect to our business and financial affairs during the pendency of the Fujifilm Transactions,
which restrictions could be in place for an extended period of time if completion of the Fujifilm Transactions is
delayed and could adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. These restrictions
may prevent us from pursuing otherwise attractive business opportunities and making other changes to our
business before completion of the Fujifilm Transactions or termination of the Fujifilm Transaction Agreements. The
process of seeking to accomplish the Fujifilm Transactions could also divert the focus of our management from
pursuing other opportunities that could be beneficial to us.
The pursuit of the Fujifilm Transactions and the preparation for the integration of Xerox and Fuji Xerox have placed,
and will continue to place, a significant burden on our management and internal resources. There is a significant
degree of difficulty and management distraction inherent in the process of seeking to close the Fujifilm Transactions
and integrate Xerox and Fuji Xerox, which could cause an interruption of, or loss of momentum in, the activities of
our existing business, regardless of whether the Fujifilm Transactions are eventually completed. Our management
team will be required to devote considerable amounts of time to this integration process, which will decrease the
time they will have to manage our existing businesses, service existing customers, attract new customers and
develop new products, services or strategies. One potential consequence of such distractions could be the failure of
management to realize other strategic opportunities that could be beneficial to us. If our senior management is not
able to effectively manage the process leading up to and immediately following Closing, or if any significant
business activities are interrupted as a result of the integration process, then our business could suffer.

We may be unable to attract and retain key employees during the pendency of the Fujifilm Transactions.
In connection with the Fujifilm Transactions, current and prospective employees of Xerox may experience
uncertainty about their future roles with New Fuji Xerox following the Fujifilm Transactions, which may materially
adversely affect our ability to attract and retain key personnel during the pendency of the Fujifilm Transactions. Key
employees may depart because of issues relating to the uncertainty and difficulty of integration or a desire not to
remain with New Fuji Xerox following the Fujifilm Transactions. The departure of existing key employees or the
failure of potential key employees to accept employment with New Fuji Xerox, despite our recruiting efforts, could
have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and operating results, regardless of whether the
Fujifilm Transactions are eventually completed.
The Fujifilm Transactions may not be completed on the terms or timeline currently contemplated, or at all,
and failure to complete the Fujifilm Transactions may result in material adverse consequences to our
business and operations.
The Fujifilm Transactions are subject to several closing conditions, including (i) the absence of any law or order
issued or enacted by any governmental authority of competent jurisdiction in which any of Xerox, Fuji Xerox or their
respective subsidiaries has material operations, which enjoins or otherwise prohibits the consummation of the
Fujifilm Transactions; (ii) the approval by our shareholders of (A) the Issuance; (B) the issuance of certain true-up
shares to Fujifilm pursuant to the terms set forth in the Subscription Agreement; and (C) the Certificate of
Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation (collectively, the “Applicable Shareholder Approvals”), (iii) expiration
or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended,
and under any other applicable antitrust, competition, trade regulation or merger control law, (iv) the filing of notices
and receipt of applicable national security approvals, including with respect to the Committee on Foreign Investment
in the United States, the U.S. Department of Defense’s Defense Security Service, the Department of Energy and
the U.S. State Department Directorate of Defense Trade Controls pursuant to the International Traffic in Arms
Regulations and (v) Xerox’s declaration of the Special Dividend. The closing conditions also include the delivery to
us of the audited financial statements and interim financial statements of Fuji Xerox for the fiscal years ended March
31, 2016, March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018 that (x) are GAAP compliant, (y) fairly present in all material respects
the consolidated financial position of Fuji Xerox and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the
interim financial statements of Fuji Xerox and (z) do not deviate, in any material respect, from the unaudited
financial statements of Fuji Xerox and its subsidiaries provided to us prior to the date of the Fujifilm Transaction
Agreements. If any one of these conditions is not satisfied or waived, the Fujifilm Transactions may not be
completed. There is no assurance that the Fujifilm Transactions will be completed on the terms or timeline currently
contemplated, or at all.
The parties have not yet obtained all regulatory clearances, consents and approvals required to complete the
Fujifilm Transactions. Governmental or regulatory agencies could still seek to block or challenge the Fujifilm
Transactions or could impose restrictions they deem necessary or desirable in the public interest as a condition to
approving the Fujifilm Transactions. These restrictions could include a requirement to sell or hold separate certain
specified businesses to obtain such regulatory approvals. If these approvals are not received, then neither we nor
Fujifilm will be obligated to complete the Fujifilm Transactions.
If the Applicable Shareholder Approvals are not obtained or if the Fujifilm Transactions are not completed for any
other reason, we would be subject to a number of risks, including the following:
• we and our shareholders would not realize the anticipated benefits of the Fujifilm Transactions, including
payment of the Special Dividend to holders of our Common Stock as of the applicable record date and any
expected synergies and operating efficiencies from the Fujifilm Transactions;
•
•
the attention of our management may have been diverted to the Fujifilm Transactions instead of on our ongoing
business operations and pursuit of other opportunities that may have been beneficial to us;
resulting negative reactions from our customers, regulators and employees;
• we may be required to pay a termination fee of $183 million (the “Termination Fee”) if the Fujifilm Transaction
Agreements are terminated in the case of certain events described in the Fujifilm Transaction Agreements,
including due to an adverse change in our Board of Directors’ recommendation to our shareholders to approve
the Fujifilm Transactions;
1026325_XRX-2017-10K.pdf 21
4/6/18 11:52 AM
Xerox 2017 Annual Report 15
• we have incurred, and will continue to incur, significant costs, expenses and fees for professional services and
other transaction costs in connection with the proposed Fujifilm Transactions, for which we will have received
little or no benefit if the Fujifilm Transactions are not completed. Many of these fees and costs will be payable by
us even if the Fujifilm Transactions are not completed and may relate to activities that we would not have
undertaken other than to complete the Fujifilm Transactions;
•
resulting negative reactions from the financial markets, including a decline in our stock price (which may reflect
a market assumption that the Fujifilm Transactions will be completed); or
• Xerox could be subject to litigation from shareholders related to the Fujifilm Transaction Agreements.
The occurrence of any of these events individually or in combination could have a material adverse effect on our
results of operations or the trading price of our Common Stock.
Even if the Fujifilm Transactions close, the integration of Xerox and Fuji Xerox following the Closing will
present significant challenges that may result in a decline in the anticipated benefits of the Fujifilm
Transactions.
Historically, Xerox and Fuji Xerox have operated as independent companies, and they will continue to do so until the
completion of the Fujifilm Transactions. There can be no assurance that their businesses can be integrated
successfully. New Fuji Xerox will be required to devote management attention and resources to integrating its
business practices and operations, and prior to the Fujifilm Transactions, management attention and resources will
be required to plan for such integration. Specifically, the following issues, among others, must be addressed in
integrating the operations of Xerox and Fuji Xerox in order to realize the anticipated benefits of the Fujifilm
Transactions:
•
•
•
•
•
the potential inability (i) to successfully integrate the two businesses, including operations, technologies,
products, customer services and offerings and corporate functions and/or (ii) to identify and eliminate redundant
and underperforming functions and assets, in a manner that permits New Fuji Xerox to achieve the synergies
and operating efficiencies expected to result from the Fujifilm Transactions, which could result in the expected
benefits of the Fujifilm Transactions not being realized partly or wholly in the time frame currently anticipated or
at all;
consolidating and rationalizing the companies’ information technology platforms and administrative
infrastructures as well as accounting systems;
integrating the companies’ financial reporting and internal control systems, including compliance by New Fuji
Xerox with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, and the rules promulgated thereunder
by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission;
coordinating geographically separated organizations, systems and facilities;
integrating personnel with diverse business backgrounds, business cultures and management philosophies,
while maintaining focus on providing consistent, high-quality products and services;
• maintaining existing agreements with customers, distributors, providers and vendors and avoiding delays in
entering into new agreements with prospective customers, distributors, providers and vendors;
coordinating distribution and marketing efforts;
lost sales and customers as a result of certain customers of either or both of the two businesses deciding not to
do business with New Fuji Xerox, or deciding to decrease their amount of business in order to reduce their
reliance on a single company;
preserving important relationships of both Xerox and Fuji Xerox and resolving potential conflicts that may arise;
performance shortfalls at one or both of Xerox and Fuji Xerox as a result of the diversion of management’s
attention caused by completing the Fujifilm Transactions and integrating the two businesses’ operations;
potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen increased expenses, delays or regulatory conditions associated
with the Fujifilm Transactions; and
effecting actions that may be required in connection with obtaining regulatory approvals.

Combining the businesses of Xerox and Fuji Xerox may be more difficult, costly or time-consuming than
expected, which may adversely affect New Fuji Xerox’s results and negatively affect the value of its
Common Stock following the Fujifilm Transactions.
Xerox and Fuji Xerox have entered into the Fujifilm Transaction Agreements because each believes that the Fujifilm
Transactions will be beneficial to its respective companies and shareholders and that combining the businesses of
Xerox and Fuji Xerox will produce benefits and cost savings. If New Fuji Xerox is not able to successfully combine
the businesses of Xerox and Fuji Xerox in an efficient and effective manner, the anticipated benefits and cost
savings of the Fujifilm Transactions may not be realized fully, or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected,
and the value of New Fuji Xerox Common Stock may be affected adversely.
An inability to realize the full extent of the anticipated benefits of the Fujifilm Transactions and the other transactions
contemplated by the Fujifilm Transaction Agreements, as well as any delays encountered in the integration process,
could have an adverse effect upon the revenues, level of expenses and operating results of New Fuji Xerox, which
may adversely affect the value of New Fuji Xerox Common Stock following the Fujifilm Transactions.
In addition, the actual integration may result in additional and unforeseen expenses, and the anticipated benefits of
the integration plan may not be realized. Actual growth and cost savings, if achieved, may be lower than what New
Fuji Xerox expects and may take longer to achieve than anticipated. If New Fuji Xerox is not able to adequately
address integration challenges, it may be unable to successfully integrate Xerox’s and Fuji Xerox’s operations or to
realize the anticipated benefits of the integration of the two companies.
We may not realize the anticipated synergies, net cost reductions and growth opportunities from the
Fujifilm Transactions.
The benefits that we expect to achieve as a result of the Fujifilm Transactions will depend, in part, on the ability of
New Fuji Xerox to realize anticipated growth opportunities, net cost reductions and synergies. Our success in
realizing these growth opportunities, net cost reductions and synergies, and the timing of this realization, depends
on the successful integration of our historical business and operations and the historical business and operations of
,
Fuji Xerox. Even if we are able to integrate the businesses and operations of Xerox and Fuji Xerox successfully
this integration may not result in the realization of the full benefits of the growth opportunities, net cost reductions
and synergies that we currently expect from this integration within the anticipated time frame or at all. For example,
we may be unable to eliminate duplicative costs. Moreover, we may incur substantial expenses in connection with
the integration of our business and Fuji Xerox’s business. While we anticipate that certain expenses will be
incurred, such expenses are difficult to estimate accurately and may exceed current estimates. Accordingly, the
benefits from the Transactions may be offset by costs or delays incurred in integrating the businesses.
In connection with the Fujifilm Transactions, we are acquiring entities that may have potential liabilities,
including entities that have previously undergone a financial audit.
In connection with the Fujifilm Transactions, we are acquiring entities that may have potential liabilities relating to
their businesses, including entities for which audited financial statements have not yet been provided. In addition,
as previously disclosed, Fujifilm previously formed an independent investigation committee to conduct a review of
the accounting practices at Fuji Xerox’s New Zealand subsidiary and at other subsidiaries that identified aggregate
adjustments to Fuji Xerox’s financial statements of approximately JPY 40 billion, which primarily related to
misstatements at Fuji Xerox’s New Zealand and Australian subsidiaries as well as certain other adjustments. While
Fujifilm and Fuji Xerox continue to review Fujifilm’s oversight and governance of Fuji Xerox as well as Fuji Xerox’
oversight and governance over its businesses in light of the findings of the independent investigation committee,
there may be governmental investigations and additional consequences related thereto. To the extent we have not
identified such liabilities or miscalculated their potential financial impact, these liabilities could have a material
adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
s
Following the completion of the Fujifilm Transactions, New Fuji Xerox will be controlled by Fujifilm. The
interests of Fujifilm may differ from the interests of other shareholders.
Immediately following Closing, Fujifilm is expected to own approximately 50.1 percent of the Fully Diluted Capital
Stock of New Fuji Xerox and Xerox shareholders are expected to own approximately 49.9 percent.
Pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement, the Board of Directors of New Fuji Xerox will have twelve directors, which
will initially be composed of seven individuals designated by Fujifilm and five individuals from among the members
of the Board of Directors of Xerox immediately prior to Closing designated by Xerox in consultation with and subject
to reasonable approved by Fujifilm. As a result of Fujifilm’s ownership of a majority of the voting power of Common
Stock, New Fuji Xerox will be a “controlled company” as defined in NYSE listing rules and will, therefore, not be
subject to NYSE requirements that would otherwise require New Fuji Xerox to have (i) a majority of independent
Xerox 2017 Annual Report 17
1026325_XRX-2017-10K.pdf 23
4/6/18 11:52 AM
directors, (ii) a nominating committee composed solely of independent directors, (iii) a compensation committee
composed solely of independent directors, and (iv) director nominees selected, or recommended to the Board of
Directors by a nominating committee composed solely of independent directors.
Fujifilm may have different interests than other holders of Common Stock and may make decisions adverse to your
interests. Subject to the terms and restrictions set forth in the Shareholders Agreement, Fujifilm would have control
over matters submitted to the shareholders that require the affirmative vote of a majority or more of the outstanding
shares of New Fuji Xerox. This concentrated control could discourage a potential investor from seeking to acquire
Common Stock and, as a result, might harm the market price of that Common Stock. Given Fujifilm’s ownership of
the majority of the Common Stock of New Fuji Xerox and the interactions that will take place between New Fuji
Xerox and Fujifilm, the success of New Fuji Xerox will depend in part on the reputation and success of Fujifilm.
The Fujifilm Transaction Agreements contain provisions that may discourage other companies from trying
to acquire us.
The Fujifilm Transaction Agreements contain provisions that may discourage third parties from submitting business
combination proposals to us that might result in greater value to our shareholders than the Fujifilm Transactions.
The Fujifilm Transaction Agreements generally prohibit us from soliciting, initiating and facilitating or encouraging
any inquiries regarding, or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or that could reasonably be expected
to lead to, an alternative acquisition proposal from any third party. This provision prevents us from seeking offers
from other possible acquirers that may be superior to the Fujifilm Transactions. In addition, if the Fujifilm Transaction
Agreements are terminated by us or Fujifilm in circumstances that obligate us to pay a Termination Fee, our
financial condition may be adversely affected as a result of the payment of the Termination Fee, which might deter
third parties from proposing alternative business combination proposals.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
None
Item 2. Properties
We own several manufacturing, engineering and research facilities and lease other facilities. Our principal
manufacturing and engineering facilities are located in New York, California, Oklahoma, Oregon, Canada, the U.K.,
Ireland, and the Netherlands. Our principal research facilities are located in California, New York, and Canada. Our
Corporate Headquarters is a leased facility located in Norwalk, Connecticut.
As a result of implementing our restructuring programs (refer to Note 12 - Restructuring and Asset Impairment
Charges in the Consolidated Financial Statements) as well as various productivity initiatives, several leased and
owned properties became surplus. We are obligated to maintain our leased surplus properties through required
contractual periods. We have disposed or subleased certain of these properties and are actively pursuing the
successful disposition of remaining surplus properties.
In 2017, we owned or leased numerous facilities globally, which house general offices, sales offices, service
locations, data centers, call centers and distribution centers. The size of our property portfolio at December 31,
2017 was approximately 14 million square feet and comprised of 687 leased properties and 108 owned properties
(of which 73 are located on our Webster, New York campus). It is our opinion that our properties have been well
maintained, are in sound operating condition and contain all the necessary equipment and facilities to perform their
functions. We believe that our current facilities are suitable and adequate for our current businesses.

Executive Overview
With annual revenues of $10.3 billion we are a leading global provider of digital print technology and related
solutions; we operate in a market estimated at approximately $85 billion. Our primary offerings span three main
areas: Managed Document Services, Workplace Solutions and Graphic Communications. Our Managed Document
Services offerings help customers, ranging from small businesses to global enterprises, optimize their printing and
related document workflow and business processes. Our Workplace Solutions and Graphic Communications
products and solutions support the work processes of our customers by providing them with an efficient, cost
effective printing and communications infrastructure.
Headquartered in Norwalk, Connecticut, with 35,300 employees, Xerox serves customers in approximately 160
countries providing advanced document technology, services, software and genuine Xerox supplies for a range of
customers including small and mid-size businesses ("SMB"), large enterprises, governments and graphic
communications providers, and for our partners who serve them. In 2017, approximately 40% of our revenue was
generated outside the United States.
Market and Business Strategy
Our strategy is to apply innovation in digital print technology and services in order to increase our participation in the
growth areas of our market while maintaining leadership in the more mature areas. To accomplish this, we focus on
the following areas:
• Maintain Market Leadership and Focus on Strategic Growth Areas - i) Expand leadership in Managed
Document Services; ii) Increase SMB coverage through resellers and partners; iii) Gain share in the entry
product segment of the market; and iv) Extend leadership in digital color production.
A4
•
Innovate to Differentiate Our Offerings - Make investments in areas such as workflow automation and color
printing, as well as improving the quality and reducing the environmental impact of digital printing.
• Accelerate Productivity and Cost Initiatives through Strategic Transformation - As markets shift, we need to
undertake restructuring to optimize our workforce and facilities to best align our resources with the growth areas
of our business and to maximize profitability and cash flow in businesses that are declining.
Post-sale Based Business Model
In 2017, 78% of our total revenue was post-sale based, which includes document services, equipment maintenance
services, consumable supplies and financing, among other elements. These revenue streams generally follow
equipment placements and provide some stability to our revenue. Some of the key indicators of future post sale
revenue include:
•
Installations of printers and multifunction devices as well as the number of machines in the field (MIF) and the
page volume and mix of pages printed on color devices, where available.
• Managed Document Services - i) signings, which reflects the estimated future revenues from contracts, mostly
from Enterprise deals, signed during the period, i.e., Total Contract Value (TCV) and; ii) renewal rate, which is
defined as the annual recurring revenue (ARR) on contracts that are renewed during the period, calculated as a
percentage of ARR on all contracts where a renewal decision was made during the period.

Xerox 2017 Annual Report 23
Transaction to Combine Xerox and Fuji Xerox
On January 31, 2018, Xerox entered into a Redemption Agreement with FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation, a
Japanese company (“Fujifilm”), and Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd, a Japanese company in which Xerox indirectly holds a 25
percent equity interest and Fujifilm holds the remaining 75 percent equity interest (“Fuji Xerox”) (the “Redemption
Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, (i) Fuji Xerox shall redeem for cash most or all of Fujifilm’s 75
percent equity interest in Fuji Xerox and (ii) Fuji Xerox shall become an indirect majority or wholly owned subsidiary
of Xerox (the “Redemption”). The combined company resulting from the Fujifilm Transactions (as defined below)
shall hereinafter be referred to as “New Fuji Xerox”.
Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Redemption Agreement, Xerox entered into a Share
Subscription Agreement with Fujifilm (the “Subscription Agreement” and together with the Redemption Agreement,
the “Fujifilm Transaction Agreements”), pursuant to which, among other things, (i) Fujifilm shall subscribe for and
purchase from Xerox, and Xerox shall issue to Fujifilm, a number of shares of common capital stock of Xerox (and
after Closing, of New Fuji Xerox, “Common Stock”) representing 50.1 percent of (i) the aggregate number of issued
and outstanding shares of Common Stock (excluding any performance shares issued under the Company’s existing
employee incentive plans) plus (ii) such additional shares of Common Stock that would be issued and outstanding
assuming the exercise of in-the-money options as of 5:00 p.m. New York time two business days prior to closing of
the Fujifilm Transactions (as defined below) (the “Closing”) plus (iii) any shares of Common Stock reserved for issue
relating to restricted stock units outstanding as of the Closing that are fully vested as of 5:00 p.m. New York time
two business days prior to the Closing (collectively, the “Fully Diluted Capital Stock”) of Xerox in exchange for (A)
cash and (B) all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Fuji Xerox not held by Xerox or its wholly owned
subsidiaries and (ii) Xerox shall become a direct, majority owned subsidiary of Fujifilm (the “Issuance” and together
with the Redemption, the “Fujifilm Transactions”). In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement,
at Closing, an aggregate number of shares equal to the “True-Up Shares” (as defined in the Subscription
Agreement) shall be held in escrow and released to Fujifilm as and if necessary for Fujifilm to maintain its
ownership percentage.
In connection with the Fujifilm Transactions, Xerox expects to pay a special pro rata cash dividend to its
shareholders in an amount equal to $2.5 billion in the aggregate (the “Special Dividend”), which is expected to be
financed through the issuance of debt that will be incurred by New Fuji Xerox. Fujifilm will not be a shareholder of
Xerox as of the record date for the Special Dividend and therefore will not receive any payment in respect thereof.
As noted above, immediately following the Closing, Fujifilm is expected to own approximately 50.1 percent of the
Fully Diluted Capital Stock of New Fuji Xerox and Xerox shareholders are expected to own approximately 49.9
percent. Further, pursuant to that certain Shareholders Agreement, to be entered into by Xerox and Fujifilm at
Closing (the “Shareholders Agreement”), the Board of Directors ofNew Fuji Xerox will have twelve directors, which
will initially be composed of seven individuals designated by Fujifilm and five individuals from among the members
of the Board of Directors of the Company immediately prior to Closing designated by Xerox in consultation with and
subject to reasonable approved by Fujifilm. Accordingly, the Fujifilm Transactions are expected to be accounted for
as a reverse acquisition.
Xerox must pay to Fujifilm a $183 million termination fee (the “Termination Fee”) in the event that the Subscription
Agreement is terminated (i) by either party because the applicable shareholder approvals are not obtained if an
alternative acquisition proposal is publicly announced prior to the Xerox shareholder meeting duly called for the
purpose of obtaining the applicable shareholder approvals and Xerox enters into a definitive agreement with respect
to, or otherwise consummates, an alternative acquisition proposal within 12 months after the termination of the
Subscription Agreement; (ii) by Fujifilm (A) in connection with a material and intentional breach by Xerox of its non-
solicitation obligations resulting in a third party making an alternate acquisition proposal that is reasonably likely to
materially interfere with the Fujifilm Transactions or (B) following a change in the recommendation by the Board of
Directors of Xerox; or (iii) by Xerox in order to enter into a definitive agreement with a third party with respect to a
superior proposal, in each case as set forth in, and subject to the conditions of, the Fujifilm Transaction Agreements.
We expect the Fujifilm Transactions, which require Xerox shareholder approval, to close in the second half of 2018
subject to customary regulatory approvals, filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, tax
considerations, and securing any necessary financing. Until the combination is complete, each of Xerox, Fuji Xerox
and Fujifilm will continue to be separate, independent organizations and will operate as usual.

Strategic Transformation Program
Despite the decline in revenues, we have maintained our margins primarily through ongoing cost and productivity
initiatives. In 2016, we initiated a three-year Strategic Transformation program to accelerate cost productivity
beyond our historical range of $300 to $350 million of annual savings. The program is expected to deliver gross
productivity improvements and cost savings of at least $1.7 billion over the three-year period, which include our
historical savings of approximately $900 to $1,050 million. The program targets areas such as delivery, remote
connectivity, sales productivity, pricing optimization, design efficiency and supply chain optimization. During the first
two years, the program delivered over $1.2 billion of gross productivity improvements and cost savings, and we
expect it to provide approximately $475 million of additional improvements and cost savings in 2018.
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”)
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted in the U.S. The Tax Act significantly
revises the U.S. corporate income tax system by, among other things, lowering the U.S. statutory corporate income
tax rate from 35% to 21% and implementing a territorial tax system that includes a transition tax on deemed
repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries.
During the fourth quarter 2017, we recorded an estimated non-cash provisional charge of $400 million reflecting the
impact associated with the provisions of the Tax Act based on currently available information. Refer to Income
Taxes section of the MD&A and Note 18 - Income and Other Taxes in the Consolidated Financial Statements for
additional information.
Correction of Fuji Xerox Misstatement in Prior Period Financial Statements
In April 2017, Fujifilm publicly announced it had formed an independent investigation committee (IIC) to conduct a
review of the appropriateness of the accounting practices at Fuji Xerox’s New Zealand subsidiary related to the
recovery of receivables associated with certain bundled leasing transactions that occurred in, or prior to, Fuji
Xerox’s fiscal year ending March 31, 2016. The IIC’s review, completed during the second quarter 2017, identified
total aggregate adjustments to Fuji Xerox’s prior period financial statements of approximately JPY 40 billion
(approximately $360 million based on the Yen/U.S. Dollar spot exchange rate at March 31, 2017 of 111.89). The
adjustments identified by the IIC primarily related to misstatements at Fuji Xerox’s New Zealand subsidiary as well
as their Australian subsidiary and certain other adjustments. We determined that our cumulative share of the total
adjustments identified as part of the IIC's investigation was approximately $90 million and impacted our fiscal years
2009 through 2017.
In the second quarter 2017, we determined that the misstatements to our equity income in prior years and in first
,
quarter 2017 resulting from the IIC’s review were immaterial to our previously issued financial statements. However
we concluded that the cumulative correction of these misstatements would have had a material effect on our current
year consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, we have revised our previously issued annual and interim
consolidated financial statements for 2015 and 2016 and the first quarter of 2017. Certain of the corrections
discussed above affected periods prior to fiscal year 2015, and this effect was reflected as a cumulative, net of tax
adjustment to reduce retained earnings as of January 1, 2015 by $87 million. Amounts throughout this filing have
been adjusted to incorporate the revised amounts, where applicable.
Refer to Note 2 - Correction of Fuji Xerox Misstatement in Prior Period Financial Statements in the Consolidated
Financial Statements for additional information regarding this correction.
Reverse Stock Split
On May 23, 2017, the Board of Directors authorized and shareholders approved a reverse stock split of outstanding
Xerox common stock at a ratio of one-for-four shares, together with the proportionate reduction in the authorized
shares of its common stock from 1,750,000,000 shares to 437,500,000 shares. The reverse stock split became
effective on June 14, 2017.
Refer to Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Consolidated
Financial Statements for additional information regarding the reverse stock split.

Segment Changes
Following the separation of the BPO business, we realigned our operations to better manage the business and
serve our customers and the markets in which we operate. In 2017 we transitioned to a geographic focus and are
primarily organized from a sales perspective on the basis of “go-to-market” sales channels. These sales channels
are structured to serve a range of customers for our products and services. As a result of this transition and change
in structure, we concluded that we have one operating and reportable segment - the design, development and sale
of document management systems and solutions. Our chief executive officer was identified as the chief operating
decision maker (“CODM”). All of the company’s activities are interrelated, and each activity is dependent upon and
supportive of the other, including product development, supply chain and back-office support services. In addition,
all significant operating decisions, by management and the Board, are largely based upon an analysis of Xerox on a
total Company basis, including assessments related to the company’s incentive compensation plans.
Refer to Note 3 - Segment and Geographic Area Reporting in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information.
Separation Update
On December 31, 2016, Xerox Corporation completed the separation of its BPO business from its Document
Technology and Document Outsourcing (DT/DO) business (the “Separation”). The Separation was accomplished
through the transfer of the BPO business into a new legal entity, Conduent Incorporated ("Conduent"), and then
distributing one hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding common stock of Conduent to Xerox Corporation
stockholders (the “Distribution”). As a result of the Separation and Distribution, the BPO business is presented as a
discontinued operation and, as such, has been excluded from continuing operations for all periods presented.
Refer to Note 5 - Divestitures in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the
Separation.
Financial Overview
During 2017 the Company focused on delivering on its commitments established post-separation.
• Revenue - Successful launch of 29 new workplace devices and 65 new dealer partners signed. Improvements
in identified strategic growth areas of the business.
• Cost Transformation - Second year Strategic Transformation savings of $680 million exceeded full-year target
and enabled investment in the business to offset revenue declines.
• Capital Structure - Reduced debt by $800 million; contributed $836 million to our defined benefit pension plans,
significantly reducing our net underfunded obligation; and eliminated our accounts receivable sales programs
for cost savings and simplification.
Total revenue of $10.3 billion in 2017 declined 4.7% from the prior year, with no impact from currency. The revenue
decline reflects a 6.9% decline in equipment sales, with a 0.3-percentage point positive impact from currency and a
4.0% decline in post sale revenue with a 0.1-percentage point negative impact from currency. While equipment
revenues improved in the fourth quarter 2017, the full-year decline was primarily driven by the impact of
transitioning to our ConnectKey portfolio and ongoing black-and-white revenue declines that reflected overall
market trends and unfavorable mix. The decline in post sale revenue was largely due to lower maintenance service
revenues, supply sales and financing revenues, reflecting lower print volumes and lower equipment sales in prior
periods.
2017 Net Income from continuing operations attributable to Xerox was $192 million and included after-tax costs of
$723 million related to the amortization of intangible assets, restructuring and related costs, non-service retirement-
related costs, and other discrete adjustments including the $400 million impact of implementing the Tax Act resulting
in adjusted1 net income from continuing operations of $915 million. Net income from continuing operations
attributable to Xerox for 2016 was $622 million and included after-tax costs of $305 million related to the
amortization of intangible assets, restructuring and related costs and non-service retirement-related costs, resulting
in adjusted1 net income of $927 million. The decrease in net income from continuing operations attributable to Xerox
was primarily due to the $400 million impact from the Tax Act. Both net income amounts in 2017 - reported and
adjusted1 - as compared to 2016 were also impacted by lower revenues, which were offset by cost savings from
our Strategic Transformation program and lower interest expense, and a higher tax expense in 2017 before the
impacts of the Tax Act.

1026325_XRX-2017-10K.pdf 32
4/6/18 11:52 AM
Operating cash flow from continuing operations was $122 million in 2017 as compared to $1,018 million in 2016
.
The decrease is primarily due to higher pension contributions of $658 million, which reflect an incremental $500
million contribution to our U.S. defined benefit pension plans that was funded through a $1.0 billion Senior Note
offering and an additional contribution of approximately $105 million (GBP 80 million) to our U.K. Pension Plan for
salaried employees. The U.K. contribution was funded through the cash received from an investment associated
with our 1997 sale of The Resolution Group (TRG), a discontinued insurance business, and reported in investing
cash flows. The decrease is also due to the one-time impact of approximately $350 million from the termination of
certain accounts receivable sales programs in the fourth quarter of 2017. Cash used in investing activities of
continuing operations of $31 million decreased $115 million as compared to 2016 primarily due to the cash receipt
of $127 million from the TRG investment previously noted. Cash used in financing activities was $985 million in
2017 as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $584 million in 2016. The increase in the use of cash
primarily reflects payments of $1.5 billion on Senior Notes, net payments of $326 million on the tender and
exchange of certain Senior Notes and dividend payments of $291 million, partially offset by proceeds from the
issuance of $1.0 billion of Senior Notes and $161 million from the final cash adjustment with Conduent.
2018 Outlook
We expect total revenues to decline in 2018 in the 2% to 4% range, excluding the impact of currency. At January
2018 exchange rates, we expect translation currency to have about a 1.4-percentage point positive impact on total
revenues in 2018, reflecting the weakening of the U.S. dollar against our major foreign currencies as compared to
prior year. Reported earnings should improve in 2018 due to the inclusion of the $400 million charge in 2017 related
to the enactment of the Tax Act. In addition, both reported and adjusted1 earnings are expected to reflect the
continued benefits of cost savings and productivity improvements from our Strategic Transformation program, which
are expected to offset the projected decline in revenues.
We expect 2018 operating cash flows from continuing operations to be between $900 and $1,100 million and capital
expenditures to be approximately $150 million.
Our capital allocation plan for 2018 includes the following:
• Debt – committed to maintaining our investment grade rating and we expect to repay approximately $265
million of maturing debt.
• Dividends - expect dividend payments to be approximately $260 million, which reflects the current annualized
dividend of $1.00 per share.
• Acquisitions – we expect to invest about $150 to $200 million, focusing on acquiring companies that will expand
our portfolio mix and distribution channels.
The 2018 outlook discussed above does not include any impacts associated with the proposed transaction to
combine Xerox and Fuji Xerox.
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 ef
fect 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.
Approximately 40% of our consolidated revenues are derived from operations outside of the United States where
the U.S. Dollar is normally not the functional currency. As a result, the foreign currency translation had no impact on
revenue in 2017 and 1.8-percentage point negative impact on revenue in 2016.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies
In preparing our Consolidated Financial Statements and accounting for the underlying transactions and balances,
we apply various accounting policies. Senior management has discussed the development and selection of the
critical accounting policies, estimates and related disclosures included herein with the Audit Committee of the Board
of Directors. We consider the policies discussed below as critical to understanding our Consolidated Financial
Statements, as their application places the most significant demands on management's judgment, since financial
reporting results rely on estimates of the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. In instances where different
estimates could have reasonably been used, we disclosed the impact of these different estimates on our operations.
In certain instances, such as revenue recognition for leases, the accounting rules are prescriptive; therefore, it
would not have been possible to reasonably use different estimates. Changes in assumptions and estimates are
reflected in the period in which they occur. The impact of such changes could be material to our results of
operations and financial condition in any quarterly or annual period.
Specific risks associated with these critical accounting policies are discussed throughout the MD&A, where such
policies affect our reported and expected financial results. For a detailed discussion of the application of these and
other accounting policies, refer to Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in
the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Revenue Recognition
Application of the various accounting principles in GAAP related to the measurement and recognition of revenue
requires us to make judgments and estimates. Complex arrangements with nonstandard terms and conditions may
require significant contract interpretation to determine the appropriate accounting. Refer to Note 1 - Basis of
Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Revenue Recognition, in the Consolidated Financial
Statements for additional information regarding our revenue recognition policies. Specifically, the revenue related to
the following areas involves significant judgments and estimates:
Bundled Lease Arrangements: We sell our equipment under bundled lease arrangements, which typically include
the equipment, service, supplies and a financing component for which the customer pays a single negotiated
monthly fixed price for all elements over the contractual lease term. Sales made under bundled lease arrangements
comprise approximately 41% of our equipment sales revenue. Recognizing revenues under these arrangements
requires us to allocate the total consideration received to the lease and non-lease deliverables included in the
bundled arrangement, based upon the estimated fair values of each element.
Sales to Distributors and Resellers: We utilize distributors and resellers to sell many of our technology products,
supplies and services to end-user customers. Sales to distributors and resellers are generally recognized as
revenue when products are sold to such distributors and resellers. Distributors and resellers participate in various
rebate, price-protection, cooperative marketing and other programs, and we record provisions and allowances for
these programs as a reduction to revenue when the sales occur. Similarly, we also record estimates for sales
returns and other discounts and allowances when the sales occur. We consider various factors, including a review
of specific transactions and programs, historical experience and market and economic conditions when calculating
these provisions and allowances. Approximately 17% of our total revenues are sales of equipment and supplies to
distributors and resellers, and provisions and allowances recorded on these sales are approximately 22% of the
associated gross revenues.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Credit Losses
We continuously monitor collections and payments from our customers and maintain a provision for estimated credit
losses based upon our historical experience adjusted for current conditions. We recorded bad debt provisions of
$33 million, $37 million and $49 million in Selling, Administrative and General Expenses (SAG) expenses in our
Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Bad debt provisions declined in 2017 primarily as a result of lower revenues as well as continued strong credit
policies. Reserves, as a percentage of trade and finance receivables, were 3.2% at December 31, 2017, as
compared to 3.6% and 3.7% at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. We continue to assess our receivable
portfolio in light of the current economic environment and its impact on our estimation of the adequacy of the
allowance for doubtful accounts.
As discussed above, we estimated our provision for doubtful accounts based on historical experience and
customer-specific collection issues. This methodology was consistently applied for all periods presented. During the
three year period ended December 31, 2017, our reserve for doubtful accounts ranged from 3.2% to 3.7% of gross
28
1026325_XRX-2017-10K.pdf 34
4/6/18 11:52 AM
receivables. Holding all assumptions constant, a 0.5-percentage point increase or decrease in the reserve from the
December 31, 2017 rate of 3.2% would change the 2017 provision by approximately $26 million.
Refer to Note 6 - Accounts Receivables, Net and Note 7 - Finance Receivables, Net in the Consolidated Financial
Statements for additional information regarding our allowance for doubtful accounts.
Pension Plan Assumptions
We sponsor defined benefit pension plans in various forms in several countries covering employees who meet
eligibility requirements. Over the past several years, where legally possible, we have amended our major defined
benefit pension plans to freeze current benefits and eliminate benefits accruals for future service, including our
primary U.S. defined benefit plan for salaried employees, the Canadian Salary Pension Plan and the U.K. Final
Salary Pension Plan. The freeze of current benefits is the primary driver of the reduction in pension service costs
since 2012. In certain Non-U.S. plans we are required to continue to consider salary increases and inflation in
determining the benefit obligation related to prior service. The Netherlands defined benefit pension plan has also
been amended to reflect the Company's ability to reduce the indexation of future pension benefits within the plan in
scenarios when the returns on plan assets are insufficient to cover that indexation.
Several statistical and other factors that attempt to anticipate future events are used in calculating the expense,
liability and asset values related to our defined benefit pension plans. These factors include assumptions we make
about the expected return on plan assets, discount rate, lump-sum settlement rates, the rate of future compensation
increases and mortality. Differences between these assumptions and actual experiences are reported as net
actuarial gains and losses and are subject to amortization to net periodic benefit cost over future periods.
Cumulative net actuarial losses for our defined benefit pension plans of $2.7 billion as of December 31, 2017
decreased by $95 million from December 31, 2016, primarily due to actual plan asset returns being more than
expected returns in 2017, as well as the recognition of actuarial losses through amortization and U.S. settlement
losses. These impacts were partially offset by currency and lower discount rates in 2017 as compared to 2016.
total actuarial loss at December 31, 2017 is subject to offsetting gains or losses in the future due to changes in
actuarial assumptions and will be recognized in future periods through amortization or settlement losses.
The
We used a consolidated weighted average expected rate of return on plan assets of 5.0% for 2017, 5.8% for
and 6.0% for 2015, on a worldwide basis. During 2017, the actual return on plan assets was $834 million as
compared to an expected return of $448 million, with the difference largely due to positive returns in the equity
markets in 2017. When estimating the 2018 expected rate of return, in addition to assessing recent performance,
we considered the historical returns earned on plan assets, the rates of return expected in the future, particularly in
light of current economic conditions, and our investment strategy and asset mix with respect to the plans' funds.
weighted average expected rate of return on plan assets we will use in 2018 is 4.5%. The decline in the 2018
primarily reflects an increased investment allocation to fixed income securities as we reposition our investment
portfolios in light of the improved funding status and the freeze of plan benefits for our major qualified plans. As the
qualified pension plans reach set funded status milestones, the assets will be continue to be rebalanced to shift
more assets from equity to fixed income securities.
rate
2016
The
Another significant assumption affecting our defined benefit pension obligations and the net periodic benefit cost is
the rate that we use to discount our future anticipated benefit obligations. In the U.S. and the U.K., which comprise
approximately 75% of our projected benefit obligation, we consider the Moody's Aa Corporate Bond Index and the
International Index Company's iBoxx Sterling Corporate AA Cash Bond Index, respectively, in the determination of
the appropriate discount rate assumptions. The consolidated weighted average discount rate we used to measure
our pension obligations as of December 31, 2017 and to calculate our 2018 expense was 2.8%; the rate used to
calculate our obligations as of December 31, 2016 and our 2017 expense was 3.1%. The weighted average
discount rate we used to measure our retiree health obligation as of December 31, 2017 and to calculate our
expense was 3.5%; the rate used to calculate our obligation at December 31, 2016 and our 2017 expense was
3.9%.

One of the most significant and volatile elements of our net periodic defined benefit pension plan expense is
settlement losses. Our primary domestic plans allow participants the option of settling their vested benefits through
the receipt of a lump-sum payment. We recognize the losses associated with these settlements immediately upon
the settlement of the vested benefits. Settlement accounting requires us to recognize a pro rata portion of the
aggregate unamortized net actuarial losses upon settlement. As noted above, cumulative unamortized net actuarial
losses were $2.7 billion at December 31, 2017, of which the U.S. primary domestic plans, with a lump-sum feature,
represented approximately $1,035 million. The pro rata factor is computed as the percentage reduction in the
projected benefit obligation due to the settlement of a participant's vested benefit. Settlement accounting is only
applied when the event of settlement occurs - i.e. the lump-sum payment is made. Since settlement is dependent
on an employee's decision and election, the level of settlements and the associated losses can fluctuate
significantly from period to period. During the three years ended December 31, 2017, U.S. plan settlements were
$550 million, $229 million and $340 million, respectively, and the associated settlement losses on those plan
settlements were $133 million, $65 million and $88 million, respectively. In 2018, on average, we estimate that
approximately $100 million of plan settlements will result in settlement losses of approximately $25 million.

Our estimated 2018 defined benefit pension plan cost is expected to be approximately $55 million lower than 2017,
primarily driven by lower projected expense for our U.K. Final Salary Pension Plan, which is largely due to actuarial
gains in 2017 as well as an improved funding status.

The increase in contributions to our U.S. defined benefit plans in 2017 was largely due to $650 million of
contributions to our domestic tax-qualified defined benefit plans, comprised of $15 million required to meet minimum
funding requirements and $635 million of additional voluntary contributions. The original estimate of 2017 voluntary
contributions of $135 million was increased by $500 million as a result of funding provided from a Senior Note
offering in 2017.
Refer to Note 17 - Employee Benefit Plans in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information
regarding defined benefit pension plan assumptions, expense and funding.
Income Taxes
We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgments are required in
determining the consolidated provision for income taxes. Our provision is based on nonrecurring events as well as
recurring factors, including the taxation of foreign income. In addition, our provision will change based on discrete or
other nonrecurring events such as audit settlements, tax law changes, changes in valuation allowances, etc., that
may not be predictable.

We record the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities
and amounts reported in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, as well as operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.
We follow very specific and detailed guidelines in each tax jurisdiction regarding the recoverability of any tax assets
recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheets and provide valuation allowances as required. We regularly review
our deferred tax assets for recoverability considering historical profitability, projected future taxable income, the
expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and tax planning strategies. Increases
(decreases) to our valuation allowance, through income tax expense, were $6 million, $(8) million and $(15) million
for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. There were other increases (decreases) to
our valuation allowance, including the effects of currency, of $13 million, $41 million and $(110) million for the years
ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. These did not affect income tax expense in total as there
was a corresponding adjustment to deferred tax assets or other comprehensive income.

ended December 31, 2017:

We are subject to ongoing tax examinations and assessments in various jurisdictions. Accordingly, we may incur
additional tax expense based upon our assessment of the more-likely-than-not outcomes of such matters. In
addition, when applicable, we adjust the previously recorded tax expense to reflect examination results. Our
ongoing assessments of the more-likely-than-not outcomes of the examinations and related tax positions require
judgment and can materially increase or decrease our effective tax rate, as well as impact our operating results.
Unrecognized tax benefits were $125 million, $165 million and $222 million at December 31, 2017, 2016 and
respectively.
2015,
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted in the U.S. The Tax Act significantly
revises the U.S. corporate income tax system by, among other things, lowering the U.S. statutory corporate income
tax rate from 35% to 21% and implementing a territorial tax system that includes a transition tax on deemed
repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. During the fourth quarter 2017, we recorded an estimated non-cash
provisional charge of $400 million reflecting the impact associated with the provisions of the Tax Act based on
currently available information.
Refer to Note 18 - Income and Other Taxes in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information
regarding deferred income taxes, unrecognized tax benefits and the estimated impacts of the Tax Act.
Business Combinations and Goodwill
We allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to tangible assets, liabilities assumed, and intangible assets
acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair
values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is allocated to goodwill. The allocation of the purchase
consideration requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to
intangible assets. These estimates can include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows of acquired
customers, acquired technology, and trade names from a market participant perspective, and estimates of useful
lives, and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be
reasonable and when appropriate, include assistance from independent third-party valuation firms. During the
measurement period, which is up to one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement
period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to earnings. Refer to Note 4 - Acquisitions in the Consolidated
Financial Statements for additional information regarding the allocation of the purchase price consideration for our
acquisitions.
Our goodwill balance was $3.9 billion at December 31, 2017. 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. Events or circumstances that might indicate an interim evaluation is warranted include, among
other things, unexpected adverse business conditions, macro and company specific economic factors, supply costs,
unanticipated competitive activities and acts by governments and courts. Application of the annual goodwill
impairment test requires judgment regarding the identification of reporting units. Consistent with the determination
that we had one operating segment, we determined that there is one reporting unit and tested goodwill for
Xerox 2017 Annual Report 31
1026325_XRX-2017-10K.pdf 37
4/6/18 11:52 AM
impairment at the entity level. Consistent with prior years, we elected to utilize a quantitative assessment of the
recoverability of our goodwill balance.
In our quantitative test, we estimate the fair value of the entity by weighting the results from the income approach
(discounted cash flow methodology) and market approach. These valuation approaches require significant judgment
and consider a number of factors that include, but are not limited to, expected future cash flows, growth rates and
discount rates, and comparable multiples from publicly traded companies in our industry. In addition, these
approaches require us to make certain assumptions and estimates regarding the current economic environment,
industry factors and the future profitability of our businesses. When performing our discounted cash flow analysis,
we incorporate the use of projected financial information and a discount rate that is developed using market
participant-based assumptions. The cash flow projections are based on three-year financial forecasts developed by
management that include revenue and expense projections, capital spending trends and investment in working
capital to support anticipated revenue growth or other changes in the business and which are consistent with
expected guidance for the Company. The selected discount rate considers the risk and nature of the entity's cash
flows and an appropriate capital structure and rates of return that market participants would require to invest their
capital.
We believe these assumptions are appropriate and reflect our current expectations as well as our forecasted long-
term business model, giving appropriate consideration to our historical results as well as the current economic
environment and markets that we serve. The discount rate applied to our projected cash flows was approximately
8.0%, which we considered reasonable based on the estimated capital costs of applicable market participants and
an appropriate company-specific risk premium. Although our estimate of the fair value of the entity was in excess of
our market capitalization, we believe the difference is reasonable when a market-based control premium is taken
into consideration. However, even in the case no market-based control premium was considered, no impairment
would be indicated.
Our impairment assessment methodology includes the use of outside valuation experts and the inclusion of factors
and assumptions related to third-party market participants. When performing our market approach, we rely
specifically on the guideline public company method. Our guideline public company method incorporates revenues
and earnings multiples from publicly traded companies with operations and other characteristics similar to our entity.
The selected multiples consider entity's relative growth, profitability, size and risk relative to the selected publicly
traded companies.
After completing our annual impairment review in the fourth quarter of 2017, we concluded that goodwill was not
impaired and we had an excess of fair value over carrying value of significantly more than 20%. Subsequent to our
fourth quarter impairment test, we did not identify any indicators of potential impairment that required an update to
the annual impairment test.
Refer to Note 11 - Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information regarding goodwill.

Revenue
Total revenue decreased 4.7% for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to the prior year with no impact
from currency as adverse translation currency in the first half of the year was offset by a favorable impact in the
second half.
Total revenue decreased 6.1% for the year ended December 31, 2016 with a 1.8-percentage point negative impact
from currency. On a revenue-weighted basis, our major European currencies and the Canadian Dollar were
approximately 3.2% weaker against the U.S. dollar, as compared to prior year. Revenues from these major foreign
currencies comprise approximately 30% of our total consolidated revenues and were the primary driver of the
currency impact on revenues in 2016. Total revenues included the following:
Post sale revenue 2017
Post sale revenue decreased 4.0% for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to the prior year with a 0.1-
percentage point negative impact from currency. Post sale revenue is comprised of the following:
• Services, maintenance and rentals revenue includes rental and maintenance revenue (including bundled
supplies) as well as the post sale component of the document services revenue from our Managed Document
Services (MDS) offerings, and revenues from our Communication and Marketing Solutions (CMS) offerings that
transferred to Xerox from the BPO business upon Separation. These revenues declined 3.7%, with no impact
from currency. The decline at constant currency1 reflected lower signings and install from prior periods and the
continuing decline in page volumes. These declines were partially mitigated by $20 million of higher revenues
associated with a licensing agreement as well as growth in MDS, developing markets and acquisitions within
our Global Imaging business.

4/6/18 11:52 AM
• Supplies, paper and other sales includes unbundled supplies and other sales. These revenues declined
4.1%, with a 0.3-percentage point negative impact from currency. The decline was driven by lower network
integration solutions sales from our Global Imaging business, reduced original equipment manufacturer (OEM)
supplies and lower supplies demand (both in U.S. and European channels) consistent with declining equipment
sales in prior periods. The decline was partly offset by higher supplies sales from our Global Imaging business
and our developing markets.
• Financing revenue is generated from financed equipment sale transactions. The 9.5% decline in these
revenues reflected a declining finance receivables balance due to lower equipment sales in prior periods, with
no impact from currency. Refer to the discussion on Sales of Finance Receivable in the Capital Resources and
Liquidity section as well as Note 7 - Finance Receivables, Net in the Consolidated Financial Statements for
additional information.
Post sale revenue 2016
Post sale revenue decreased 4.8% for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to the prior year with a 1.9-
percentage point negative impact from currency. Post sale revenue is comprised of the following:
• Services, maintenance and rentals revenue includes rental and maintenance revenue (including bundled
supplies) as well as the post sale component of the document services revenue from our Managed Document
Services (MDS) offerings, and revenues from our Communication and Marketing Solutions (CMS) offerings that
transferred to Xerox from the BPO business upon Separation. These revenues declined 4.9%, including a 1.8-
percentage point negative impact from currency. The decline at constant currency1 reflected lower equipment
sales in prior periods resulting in ongoing page declines, partially offset by growth from our partner print
services offerings.
• Supplies, paper and other sales includes unbundled supplies and other sales. These revenues declined 4.3%
with a 2.2-percentage point negative impact from currency. The decline at constant currency1 was largely driven
by lower supplies sales, as we experienced lower demand consistent with lower equipment sales in prior
periods, and OEM supplies below prior year levels.
• Financing revenue is generated from financed equipment sale transactions. The 6.1% decline in these
revenues reflected a declining finance receivables balance due to lower equipment sales in prior periods and
included a 1.5-percentage point negative impact from currency. Refer to the discussion on Sales of Finance
Receivable in the Capital Resources and Liquidity section as well as Note 7 - Finance Receivables, Net in the

(1) Equipment sales revenue in 2016 and 2015 has been revised to reclassify certain Global Imaging Systems IT-related equipment sales to other
sales, which are included in Post sale revenue.
Equipment sales revenue 2017
Equipment sales revenue decreased 6.9% for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to the prior year,
including a 0.3-percentage point positive impact from currency. Revenue declined across all product groups and
was impacted by price declines of approximately 5% (which were in line with our historic declines). Although
equipment sales revenue improved in the fourth quarter, reflecting the higher install activity associated with new
products as well as net benefits from the planned expansion of our U.S. channels, equipment sales revenue for the
full year was lower. The decrease was primarily driven by declines in mid-range sales reflecting in part, the mid-year
transition to our new product portfolio and was further impacted by the longer sales cycles in certain areas of the
business, as well as lower revenue from color devices and black-and-white systems reflecting market trends. These
declines were offset by higher revenues from our developing markets. The decline in high-end sales primarily
reflected lower revenues from our black-and-white systems, consistent with market trends, along with the impact of
34

4/6/18 11:52 AM
higher sales of iGen and Color Press in the prior year associated with the drupa trade show; these declines were
only partially mitigated by higher sales of our continuous feed inkjet color systems and the recently launched
Versant products. High-end color sales also included lower digital front-end (DFE) sales to Fuji Xerox. The decline
in entry sales reflected lower OEM activity and an unfavorable mix caused by higher install activity from lower-end
and monochrome devices in our developing markets as well as the timing of our new ConnectKey products.
Equipment sales revenue 2016
Equipment sales revenue decreased 10.0% for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to the prior year
including a 1.3-percentage point negative impact from currency. Revenue decline was impacted by price declines of
approximately 5% (which were in line with our historic impact). The decline was driven primarily by lower entry and
mid-range sales, which partially reflected timing of product launches. The decline was also due to lower OEM sales,
lower sales in the developing markets, lower revenues from our high-end products, reflecting unfavorable mix and
lower sales to Fuji Xerox.

Total Installs
Install activity includes Managed Document Services and Xerox-branded products shipped to Global Imaging
Systems. Detail by product group (see Geographic Sales Channels and Product and Offerings Definitions) is shown
below:
Installs for the year ended December 31, 2017 were:
Entry(1)
•
24% increase in color multifunction devices, reflecting demand for recently launched products as well as the
migration from printers to multifunction devices, consistent with market trends.
18% increase in black-and-white multifunction devices, driven largely by higher activity for low-end printers in
developing markets.
•
Mid-Range(2)
• Mid-range color installs were flat, reflecting demand for recently launched products including strong activity in
developing markets and U.S. Channels, offset by longer large account sales cycles that were affected by the
timing of our product roll out.
12% decrease in mid-range black-and-white, reflecting overall market decline as well as the impact of
transitioning to the new product portfolio, partly offset by growth in developing markets.
•
8% decrease in high-end color systems, as growth from continuous feed color and the recently launched
Versant products was more than offset by higher iGen and Color Press installs in the prior year, following the
drupa trade show.
25% decrease in high-end black-and-white systems reflects overall market decline and trends.
Installs for the year ended December 31, 2016 were:
Entry(1)
•
1% decrease in color multifunction devices due to weakness in Europe that was only partly mitigated by higher
installs in other territories.
12% decrease in black-and-white multifunction devices reflecting overall market declines as well as a lower
level of large deals in the developing markets.
3% increase in mid-range color installs, reflecting growth in U.S. and developing markets, partly offset by
weakness in Europe.
16% decrease in mid-range black-and-white consistent with market declines, reflecting a transition to color
devices and fewer large account sales.
16% increase in high-end color systems due to favorable impact from the drupa printing trade show and
significant growth in Versant 80 and 180 color presses.
13% decrease in high-end black-and-white systems, consistent with overall market decline.

Signings for the year ended December 31, 2017 decreased 0.7% compared to the prior year, with a 1.7-percentage
point unfavorable impact from currency primarily reflecting a lower contribution from new business, partially offset by
higher contributions from renewals. Signings for the year ended December 31, 2016 decreased 11.3% compared to
the prior year, with a 6.6-percentage point unfavorable impact from currency primarily reflecting a lower contribution
from new business, partially offset by higher contributions from renewals.
New business signings declined 12.6% for the year ended December 31, 2017, with a 2.0-percentage point
unfavorable impact from currency. The full year performance reflects ongoing competitive pressure in the market, as
well as the timing of new products amplified by the longer sales cycles in this area of the business.
Renewal Rate
Renewal rate is defined as the annual recurring revenue (ARR) on contracts that are renewed during the period as
a percentage of ARR on all contracts for which a renewal decision was made during the period. The contract
renewal rate for the year ended December 31, 2017 was 84%, compared to the renewal rate of 82% for the year
ended December 31, 2016.

(1) Refer to Key Financial Ratios reconciliation table in the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section. In 2016, we began to include Equity in net
income of unconsolidated affiliates in the calculation of adjusted operating income and margin. Prior periods have been restated accordingly to
conform to current year presentation.
Pre-tax Income Margin
Pre-tax income margin for the year ended December 31, 2017 of 5.6% increased 0.3-percentage points compared
to 2016. This increase was primarily driven by cost productivity and savings from strategic transformation, lower
restructuring and related costs and lower Other expenses, net, largely reflecting lower interest expense. These
improvements more than offset the pace of revenue declines, higher non-service retirement-related costs and
adverse transaction currency of 0.7-percentage points.
Pre-tax income margin for the year ended December 31, 2016 of 5.3% decreased 2.8-percentage points compared
to 2015. This decrease was primarily driven by higher restructuring and related costs and non-service retirement-
related costs due to a $22 million curtailment gain recorded in 2015 as well as overall lower revenue. In addition,
the decrease also reflects adverse transaction currency of 0.5-percentage points, as well as higher compensation
expense resulting from a favorable prior-year compensation benefit adjustments, which more than offset benefits
from the strategic transformation cost saving and productivity initiatives.
Pre-tax income margin includes the Amortization of intangible assets, Restructuring and related costs and Other
expenses, net, all of which are separately discussed in subsequent sections. Pre-tax income margin also includes
non-service retirement-related costs and other discrete items. Adjusted1 Operating margin, discussed below,
excludes all of these items and includes Equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates before restructuring.
Adjusted1 Operating Margin
Adjusted1 operating margin for the year ended December 31, 2017 of 12.8% increased 0.3-percentage points
compared to 2016, reflecting productivity and savings from strategic transformation as well as higher licensing
revenue, which more than offset the pace of revenue declines and the impact of revenue generating and SAG
investments along with adverse transaction currency of 0.8-percentage points. Adjusted1 operating margin was also
unfavorably impacted by higher compensation and benefit expense as well as lower equity income from our Fuji
Xerox joint venture.

4/6/18 11:52 AM
Adjusted1 operating margin for the year ended December 31, 2016 of 12.5% was flat compared to 2015. Benefits
from strategic transformation cost saving and productivity initiatives and higher equity income from our Fuji Xerox
joint venture were offset by higher compensation expense as a result of a favorable prior-year compensation benefit
adjustment, negative transaction currency of 0.6-percentage points and an overall decline in total company
revenue.
_____________
(1) Refer to Operating Income/Margin reconciliation table in the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section.
Gross Margin
Total gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2017 of 39.6% was flat compared to 2016. On an adjusted1
basis, gross margin of 40.3% increased by 0.3-percentage points compared to 2016. The increase reflects cost
productivity and savings from strategic transformation, as well as improvement in the rate of revenue decline that
more than offset adverse transaction currency of 0.7-percentage points. The 0.3-percentage point decrease from
adjusted1 to reported gross margin is due to higher non-service retirement-related costs in 2017 as compared to
2016.
Total gross margin for year ended December 31, 2016 of 39.6% decreased 0.4-percentage points compared to
2015. On an adjusted1 basis, gross margin of 40.0% decreased by 0.3-percentage points compared to 2015 as
price declines and unfavorable currency were only partially offset by the benefits from cost savings and productivity
improvements from strategic transformation that increased during the second half of the year. The 0.1-percentage
point differential in the decrease from adjusted1 to reported gross margin is due to higher non-service retirement-
related costs primarily due to a $22 million curtailment gain recorded in 2015.
Equipment gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2017 of 28.8% decreased 2.1-percentage points
compared to 2016, as product cost productivity was more than offset by adverse transaction currency and price
declines.
Equipment gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2016 of 30.9% increased 2.0-percentage points
compared to 2015, as product cost productivity improvements and positive mix more than offset price declines and
adverse transaction currency.
Post sale gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2017 of 42.6% increased 0.5-percentage points compared
to 2016. On an adjusted1 basis, post sale gross margin of 43.5% increased 0.9-percentage points compared to
2016. The improvement in both measures reflect cost savings and productivity improvements from strategic
transformation and higher licensing revenue, which more than offset the pace of revenue declines. The 0.4-
percentage point decrease from adjusted1 to reported post sale gross margin is due to higher non-service
retirement-related costs in 2017 as compared to 2016.
Post sale gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2016 of 42.1% decreased 1.2-percentage points
compared to 2015. On an adjusted1 basis, post sales gross margin of 42.6% decreased 1.2-percentage points
compared to 2015, reflecting restructuring savings, that were more than offset by adverse transaction currency and
revenue declines.

(1) Fluctuation in Fuji Xerox R&D was primarily due to changes in foreign exchange rates.
RD&E as a percent of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2017 of 4.3% improved 0.1-percentage points
compared to 2016. On an adjusted1 basis, RD&E was 4.1% of revenue and improved 0.1-percentage points
compared to 2016, as the decrease in RD&E expense outpaced the rate of revenue decline.

1026325_XRX-2017-10K.pdf 44
4/6/18 11:52 AM
RD&E of $446 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, decreased $30 million from 2016. On an adjusted
basis, RD&E of $421 million decreased by $30 million due to savings from strategic transformation including
restructuring savings and lower expenses as a result of the transfer of resources to Electronics for Imaging (EFI), a
third party high-end print server supplier, and the sale of our Xerox Research Centre Europe in Grenoble, France,
which was mainly dedicated to supporting the discontinued BPO business. We coordinate our R&D investments
with Fuji Xerox.
1
RD&E as a percent of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2016 of 4.4% improved 0.1-percentage points. On
an adjusted1 basis, RD&E was 4.2% of revenue and improved 0.1-percentage points. RD&E of $476 million for the
year ended December 31, 2016 was $35 million lower than 2015. Both improvements were driven by cost
productivity and restructuring savings.
Selling, Administrative and General Expenses (SAG)
SAG as a percent of revenue of 25.6% increased 0.6-percentage points for the year ended December 31, 2017
as
compared to the prior year ended December 31, 2016 primarily as a result of higher non-service retirement-related
benefit costs. On an adjusted1 basis, SAG as a percentage of revenue of 24.6% increased 0.1-percentage points,
reflecting the impact of lower revenues that were partly mitigated by productivity and cost savings from strategic
transformation, including restructuring savings.
SAG expenses of $2,631 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 were $64 million lower than the prior year
period. On an adjusted1 basis, SAG of $2,524 million decreased $114 million, including an approximate $9 million
favorable impact from currency. The reduction in both measures primarily reflected costs savings, including savings
from restructuring, as well as a decrease in selling expenses related to lower incentives and marketing expenses
consistent with lower revenues. These savings were partly offset by higher compensation and benefit expenses, as
well as expenses from our Global Imaging acquisitions. Bad debt expense for the year ended December 31, 2017
was $33 million and was $4 million lower than the year ended December 31, 2016 and remained at less than one
percent of receivables.
SAG as a percent of revenue of 25.0% for the year ended December 31, 2016 was flat as compared to the prior
year ended December 31, 2015. On an adjusted1 basis, SAG as a percentage of revenue was 24.5% and was also
flat as compared to 2015. Higher compensation expense as well as the decline in total company revenue were
offset by benefits from strategic transformation cost saving and productivity initiatives, which include restructuring
savings.
SAG expenses of $2,695 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 were $170 million lower than the prior year
period. On an adjusted1 basis, SAG of $2,638 million decreased $173 million, including an approximate $58 million
favorable impact from currency; the reduction primarily reflected a decrease in selling expenses driven by
productivity savings, as well as a decrease in general and administrative expenses driven by productivity savings,
that offset higher compensation expense. Bad debt expense for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $37 million
and was $12 million lower than the year ended December 31, 2015 and remained at less than one percent of
receivables.
_____________
(1) - See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for an explanation of the non-GAAP financial measure.
Non-Service Retirement-Related Costs
Non-service retirement-related costs of $198 million in 2017 increased $67 million as compared to the prior year
primarily due to losses from U.S. pension settlements of $133 million, a $68 million increase compared to the prior
year. The higher level of settlements was primarily due to an expected increase in interest rates. Non-service
retirement-related costs of $131 million in 2016 increased $15 million compared to the prior year primarily due to a
one-time curtailment gain of $22 million in 2015.

Restructuring and Related Costs
Restructuring and related costs of $220 million include restructuring and asset impairment charges of $201 million
and $19 million of additional costs, primarily related to professional support services associated with the
implementation of the Strategic Transformation program.
During the year ended December 31, 2017, we recorded net restructuring and asset impairment charges of $201
million. These charges included the following:
•
•
•
$225 million of severance costs related to headcount reductions of approximately 2,600 employees globally.
The actions impacted multiple functional areas, with approximately 30% of the costs focused on gross margin
improvements and 70% on SAG improvements.
$4 million for lease termination costs primarily reflecting continued optimization of our worldwide operating
locations.
$7 million of asset impairment losses related to the closure of a manufacturing site in Latin America.
The above charges were partially offset by $35 million of net reversals for changes in estimated reserves from prior
period initiatives, primarily reflecting unanticipated attrition and other job changes prior to completion of the
restructuring initiatives, as well as a $5 million favorable adjustment on the early termination of the lease for our
corporate airplane.
We expect 2018 pre-tax savings of approximately $110 million from our 2017 restructuring actions, with the amount
partially mitigated by timing our 2017 actions in the earlier part of the year, which enabled us to realize a portion of
the savings in 2017.
During the year ended December 31, 2016, we recorded restructuring and related costs of $264 million, which
included restructuring and asset impairment charges of $230 million and $34 million of additional costs primarily
related to professional support services associated with the implementation of the Strategic Transformation
program.
The net restructuring and asset impairment charges of $230 million included the following:
•
•
$224 million of severance costs related to headcount reductions of approximately 3,250 employees globally.
The actions impacted multiple functional areas, with approximately 30% of the costs focused on gross margin
improvements, 60% on SAG and 10% on the optimization of RD&E investments.
$28 million for lease termination costs primarily related to the early termination of the lease for our corporate
airplane in connection with the elimination of our corporate aviation department.
The above charges were partially offset by $22 million of net reversals for changes in estimated reserves from prior
period initiatives, as well as a gain of $5 million from the sale of real estate impaired in prior periods.
Restructuring Summary
The restructuring reserve balance as of December 31, 2017 for all programs was $109 million, of which
approximately $106 million is expected to be spent over the next twelve months. During 2018, we expect to incur
additional restructuring charges of approximately $200 million for actions and initiatives that have not yet been
finalized. Approximately $40 million of the full year charges are expected to be recognized in the first quarter of the
year.
Refer to Note 12 - Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges in the Consolidated Financial Statements for
additional information regarding our restructuring programs.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
Amortization of intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2017 of $53 million was $5 million lower than
2016. Amortization of intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2016 of $58 million was $2 million lower
than 2015. The decrease in both 2017 and 2016 amortization expense reflected a lower level of acquisitions in prior
years.
Refer to Note 11 - Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information regarding our intangible assets.
Worldwide Employment
Worldwide employment was approximately 35,300 as of December 31, 2017 and decreased by approximately 2,300
from December 31, 2016. The reduction was primarily due to the impact of restructuring and productivity-related
reductions, partially offset by an increase of approximately 370 from acquisitions.

Non-financing interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2017 of $119 million was $62 million lower than
2016. When non-financing interest expense is combined with financing interest expense (Cost of financing), total
interest expense declined by $57 million from the prior year. The decrease is primarily due to a lower debt balance
reflecting the repayment of approximately $1.8 billion of debt in 2017 and $1.0 billion in 2016. These decreases
were partially offset by the issuance of approximately $1.0 billion of new debt in 2017, of which $500 million of the
proceeds were used for a voluntary contribution to our U.S. defined benefit pension plans.
Non-financing interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2016 of $181 million was $35 million lower than
2015. When non-financing interest expense is combined with financing interest expense (Cost of financing), total
interest expense declined by $37 million from the prior year. The decline is primarily due to a lower average cost of
debt as well as the reclassification of $18 million of interest expense to discontinued operations associated with the
$1.0 billion Term Loan Facility that was required to be repaid upon completion of the Separation. Proceeds from the
Term Loan Facility had been used to pay off maturing debt in 2016 of approximately $1.0 billion.
Refer to Note 5 - Divestitures in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on separation-
related debt. Refer to Note 14 - Debt in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding
our debt activity as well as information regarding the allocation of interest expense.
Net gain on sales of businesses and assets
The 2017 net gain on sales of businesses and assets of $15 million declined $7 million from 2016 and include a
gain of $13 million from the sale of a research facility in Grenoble, France.
The 2016 net gain on sales of businesses and assets of $22 million declined $22 million from 2015 and included
gains on the sale of surplus technology assets of $17 million.
The 2015 net gain on sales of businesses and assets of $44 million reflected a gain of approximately $25 million on
the sale of surplus real estate in Latin America and gains of approximately $20 million for surplus technology assets.
Currency losses, net
Currency losses and gains primarily result from the re-measurement of foreign currency-denominated assets and
liabilities, the cost of hedging foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities and the mark-to-market of foreign
exchange contracts utilized to hedge those foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities. The increase in
2016 currency losses, net, was largely due to the significant movement in exchange rates during 2016.
Loss on sales of accounts receivable
Represents the loss incurred on our sales of accounts receivable. Refer to Sales of Accounts Receivables section
below and Note 6 - Accounts Receivables, Net in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information
regarding our sales of receivables.
Loss on early extinguishment of debt
During 2017, we recorded a $7 million net loss associated with the repayment of $475 million in Senior Notes in
fourth quarter 2017, as well as a $13 million loss associated with the tender and exchange of certain Senior Notes
in first quarter 2017. Refer to Note 14 - Debt in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Xerox 2017 Annual Report 41
Income Taxes
The 2017 effective tax rate was 84.4% and includes our current estimated impact of $400 million related to the 2017
Tax Act which is discussed below. On an adjusted1 basis, the 2017 effective tax rate was 25.0%. This rate was lower
than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to foreign tax credits, the redetermination of certain unrecognized tax
positions upon conclusion of several audits and the geographical mix of profits. The adjusted1 effective tax rate
excludes the tax impacts associated with the following charges: restructuring and related costs, amortization of
intangible assets, non-service retirement related costs and other discrete items including the impact of the Tax Act.
The 2016 effective tax rate was 10.9% and on an adjusted1 basis, the 2016 effective tax rate was 20.9%. Both rates
were lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to foreign tax credits resulting from anticipated dividends
from our foreign subsidiaries, the redetermination of certain unrecognized tax positions upon conclusion of several
audits and the geographical mix of profits. The adjusted1 effective tax rate excludes the tax impacts associated with
the following charges: restructuring and related costs, amortization of intangible assets and non-service retirement
related costs. The increase from reported to adjusted was much higher in 2016 as compared to 2015 due to a
higher level of these charges.
The 2015 effective tax rate was 20.9% and on an adjusted1 basis, the 2015 effective tax rate was 24.0%. Both rates
were lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to foreign tax credits resulting from anticipated dividends
from our foreign subsidiaries, the retroactive impact of the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act as well as the
geographical mix of profits. The adjusted1 effective tax rate excludes the tax impacts associated with the following
charges: restructuring and related costs, amortization of intangible assets and non-service retirement related costs.
Xerox operations are widely dispersed. The statutory tax rate in most non-U.S. jurisdictions is lower than the
combined U.S. and state tax rate. The amount of income subject to these lower foreign rates relative to the amount
of U.S. income will impact our effective tax rate. However, no one country outside of the U.S. is a significant factor in
determining our overall effective tax rate. Certain foreign income is subject to U.S. tax net of any available foreign
tax credits. Our full year effective tax rate for 2017 includes a benefit of 15.2-percentage points from these non-U.S.
operations. The decrease in the percentage point benefit, as compared to the prior period benefit of approximately
22.6%, is primarily due to the decrease in foreign tax credit benefits. Refer to Note 18 - Income and Other Taxes, in
the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the geographic mix of income before
taxes and the related impacts on our effective tax rate.
Our effective tax rate is based on nonrecurring events as well as recurring factors, including the taxation of foreign
income. In addition, our effective tax rate will change based on discrete or other nonrecurring events that may not
be predictable. Excluding the effects of intangibles amortization, restructuring and related costs, non-service
retirement-related costs and other discrete items, we anticipate that our adjusted1 effective tax rate will be
approximately 24% to 27% for full year 2018.
_____________
(1) See the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section for an explanation of the adjusted effective tax rate non-GAAP financial measure.
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”)
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted in the U.S. The Tax Act significantly
revises the U.S. corporate income tax system by, among other things, lowering the U.S. statutory corporate income
tax rate from 35% to 21% and implementing a territorial tax system that includes a transition tax on deemed
repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries.
During the fourth quarter 2017, we recorded an estimated non-cash provisional charge of $400 million reflecting the
impact associated with the provisions of the Tax Act based on currently available information. Approximately $165
million of the charge is related to the deemed repatriation tax, $135 million from the re-measurement of U.S.
deferred tax assets and liabilities to the lower enacted statutory tax rate and the remainder associated with other tax
liabilities resulting from anticipated distributions of our net accumulated foreign earnings and profits. As a
consequence of the Tax Act, we now anticipate the distribution of these foreign earnings and no longer consider
them indefinitely reinvested. Additionally, we expect to utilize our existing foreign tax credit carryforward to settle the
estimated deemed repatriation tax.
Our estimated charge incorporates assumptions made based on our current interpretation of the Tax Act as well as
currently available information and may change, possibly materially, as we complete our analysis and receive
additional clarification and implementation guidance. Changes in interpretations and assumptions as well as actions
we may take as a result of the Tax Act may also impact this estimated charge.
Refer to Note 18 - Income and Other Taxes in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information
regarding the estimated impacts of Tax Act.

Equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates primarily reflects our 25% share of Fuji Xerox net income. The
decrease in equity income of $12 million in 2017 primarily reflects lower Fuji Xerox net income including
approximately $6 million of costs related to audit and other fees associated with the independent investigation of
Fuji Xerox's accounting practices. The increase in equity income of $18 million in 2016 primarily reflects higher Fuji
Xerox net income in 2016.
Fuji Xerox is undertaking a restructuring initiative that is targeted to generate approximately $450 million of cost

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The historical Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for 2016 and 2015 have not been revised
to reflect the Separation. Accordingly, all reported amounts reflect movements in Accumulated Other
Comprehensive Loss for both Continuing Operations and Discontinued Operations. Refer to Note 5 - Divestitures
for additional information regarding the Separation.
Other comprehensive income attributable to Xerox was $589 million in 2017 as compared to a loss of $233 million
in 2016. The increase of $822 million was primarily due to the $830 million increase in gains from the translation of
our foreign currency denominated net assets. Translation gains in 2017 reflect the strengthening of the Euro, Pound
Sterling and Canadian Dollar as compared to the U.S. Dollar, partially offset by the weakening of the Brazilian Real.
Other comprehensive loss attributable to Xerox was $233 million in 2016 as compared to a loss of $474 million in
2015. The reduction of $241 million was primarily due to the $304 million reduction in losses from the translation of
our foreign currency denominated net assets. Both 2016 and 2015 translation losses reflect the weakening of the
Euro and Pound Sterling as compared to the U.S. Dollar, however the losses in 2016 were partially offset by the
strengthening of the Canadian Dollar, Japanese Yen and Brazilian Real. Partially offsetting the reduction in
translation losses were unrealized losses of $15 million in 2016 compared to gains of $23 million in 2015 reflecting
activity associated with our foreign currency derivatives and a reduction in defined benefit plan gains of $27 million
in 2016 as compared to 2015.
Refer to Note 15 - Financial Instruments for additional information regarding our foreign currency derivatives and
associated unrealized gains and losses as well as our discussion of Pension Plan Assumptions in the Application of
Critical Accounting Policies section of the MD&A as well as Note 17 - Employee Benefit Plans in the Consolidated
Financial Statements for additional information regarding changes in our defined benefit plans.

Refer to Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Consolidated
Financial Statements for a description of recent accounting pronouncements including the respective dates of
adoption and the effects on results of operations and financial conditions.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
Our liquidity is primarily dependent on our ability to continue to generate positive cash flows from operations.
Additional liquidity is also provided through access to the financial capital markets and a committed global credit
facility. The following is a summary of our liquidity position:
• As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, total cash and cash equivalents were $1,293 million and $2,223 million,
respectively. At December 31, 2017 and 2016 there were no borrowings or letters of credit under our $1.8 billion
Credit Facility or under our Commercial Paper Program. The company did not borrow under its Credit Facility or
utilize its Commercial Paper program during 2017. The total cash and cash equivalent balance at December 31,
2016 included $1.0 billion of cash that was used for the repayment of maturing Senior Notes in the first quarter
2017.
• We have consistently delivered positive cash flows from operations driven by our post-sale based revenue model
and cost productivity initiatives. Operating cash flows from continuing operations were $122 million, $1,018
million and $1,078 million for the three years ended December 31, 2017, respectively. Operating cash flows from
continuing operations in 2017 reflect the impact of certain one-time actions to improve our capital structure and
simplify certain processes including $500 million of additional voluntary contributions to our U.S. tax-qualified
defined benefit plans as well as the impact of approximately $350 million from the termination of certain accounts
receivable sales programs. The $500 million pension contribution was funded by proceeds from the issuance of
$1.0 billion of Senior Notes in the third quarter 2017.
• The additional pension contributions in 2017 were the primary driver of the reduction in our net unfunded pension
obligation from $2.2 billion at December 31, 2016 to $1.4 billion at December 31, 2017. We expect to manage
the funding of our remaining net unfunded pension obligation of $1.4 billion over a five to seven year timeframe
with expected contributions of approximately $200 million per year.
• We expect operating cash flows from continuing operations to be between $900 and $1,100 million in 2018,
reflecting pension contributions in line with historical levels and continued improvements in working capital.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was $122 million for the year ended December 31,
2017. The $896 million decrease in operating cash from 2016 was primarily due to the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
$658 million decrease primarily from voluntary contributions of $635 million to domestic tax-qualified defined
benefit plans in 2017.
$411 million decrease from accounts receivable primarily as a result of the termination of all accounts receivable
sales arrangements in North America and all but one arrangement in Europe.
$181 million decrease primarily related to the prior year settlements of foreign currency derivative contracts.
$106 million decrease from higher restructuring payments.
$76 million decrease from higher inventory levels primarily due to a lower volume of equipment and supplies
sales and the impact of new product launches.
$202 million increase from the change in accounts payable and accrued compensation primarily related to the
year-over-year timing of supplier and vendor payments.
$182 million increase due to higher net tax payments in prior year partially attributable to our tax sharing
arrangement with Conduent.
$51 million increase due to lower placements of equipment on operating leases reflecting decreased installs.
$43 million increase in dividends received from equity investments other than Fuji Xerox representing the
accumulation of earnings over multiple years.
$33 million increase from finance receivables primarily related to a higher level of run-off due to lower
originations.
The $635 million of voluntary contributions to our domestic tax-qualified defined benefit plans included an
incremental $500 million that was funded through a Senior Note offering in third quarter 2017. See Cash Flows from
Financing Activities below as well as Note 14 - Debt in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information regarding the issuance of the Senior Notes. The additional pension funding will significantly reduce
mandatory cash contributions to U.S. plans in future years beginning 2018 and was incremental to the $350 million
of global pension contributions originally planned in 2017.
Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was $1,018 million for the year ended
December 31, 2016. The $60 million decrease in operating cash from 2015 was primarily due to the following:
•
•
$115 million decrease in pre-tax income before depreciation and amortization, gain on sales of businesses and
assets, stock-based compensation, restructuring and related costs and defined benefit pension cost.
$331 million decrease from higher net tax payments partially attributable to our tax sharing arrangement with
Conduent.

•
•
•
•
•
•
•
$119 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued compensation primarily related to the timing of payments
partially offset by higher compensation accruals.
$66 million decrease from higher restructuring and related payments.
$36 million decrease from accounts receivable primarily due to the timing of collections and a lower impact from
the sales of receivables.
$225 million increase from the settlements of foreign currency derivative contracts. This increase primarily offsets
the negative currency impacts on our Yen-denominated inventory purchases as well as other foreign currency
denominated payments recorded in inventory and accounts payable.
$123 million increase from lower pension contributions.
$112 million increase from finance receivables primarily related to a higher level of run-off due to lower
originations and to a reduced impact from 2012 and 2013 finance receivables sales.
$108 million increase from inventory primarily due to lower volume of equipment and supplies sales.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities of continuing operations was $31 million for the year ended December 31, 2017
as compared to a $146 million use of cash in the prior year. The change was primarily due to the following:
•
•
•
•
•
$127 million increase due to the receipt of the final payment on the performance-based instrument associated
with our 1997 sale of The Resolution Group (TRG), included in Other investing, net.
$33 million due to lower capital expenditures (including internal use software).
$20 million increase due to proceeds from the sale of the Xerox Research Centre in Grenoble, France in 2017.
$57 million decrease due to a higher level of acquisitions.
$22 million decrease from lower proceeds from the sale of assets. Prior year included proceeds from the sale of
surplus technology assets.
Net cash used in investing activities of continuing operations was $146 million for the year ended December 31,
2016 as compared to a $43 million use of cash in the prior year. The change was primarily due to the following:
•
•
•
$67 million decrease primarily due to lower proceeds from the sale of surplus assets.
$17 million change from acquisitions.
$10 million due to lower capital expenditures (including internal use software).
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $985 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. The $1,569 million
decrease in cash from 2016 was primarily due to the following:
•
•
•
•
$1,747 million decrease from net debt activity. 2017 reflects proceeds of $1.0 billion on new Senior Notes offset
by payments of $1,475 million on Senior Notes, net payments of $326 million on the tender and exchange of
certain Senior Notes, and other payments and transaction costs of $24 million. 2016 reflects net proceeds of
$1.9 billion from debt incurred by Conduent in connection with the Separation partially offset by payments of
$700 million on Senior Notes and $250 million on Notes.
$14 million decrease due to the absence of a stock-based award vesting in 2016 and the related tax impact.
$161 million increase reflecting the final cash adjustment with Conduent, included in Other financing, net.
$40 million increase due to lower common stock dividends of $33 million and preferred stock dividends of $7
million.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $584 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. The $2,658 million
increase in cash from 2015 was primarily due to the following:
$1,302 million increase due to the absence of share repurchases in 2016.
$1,295 million increase from net debt activity. 2016 reflects net proceeds of $1.9 billion from debt incurred by
Conduent in connection with the Separation partially offset by payments of $700 million on Senior Notes and
$250 million on Notes. 2015 reflects payment of $1,250 million on Senior Notes and a decrease of $150 million
in Commercial Paper offset by net proceeds of $1,045 million from the issuance of Senior Notes.
$45 million increase due to lower distributions to noncontrolling interests.
$31 million increase due the absence of a stock-based award vesting in 2016 and the related tax impact.
$10 million decrease due to lower proceeds from the issuance of common stock under our incentive stock plans.

Debt and Customer Financing Activities
We provide lease equipment financing to our customers. Our lease contracts permit customers to pay for equipment
over time rather than at the date of installation. Our investment in these contracts is reflected in total finance assets,
net. We primarily fund our customer financing activity through cash generated from operations, cash on hand,
commercial paper borrowings, sales and securitizations of finance receivables and proceeds from capital markets
offerings.
We have arrangements in certain international countries and domestically with our small and mid-sized customers,
where third-party financial institutions independently provide lease financing directly to our customers, on a non-
recourse basis to Xerox. In these arrangements, we sell and transfer title of the equipment to these financial
institutions. Generally, we have no continuing ownership rights in the equipment subsequent to its sale; therefore, the
unrelated third-party finance receivable and debt are not included in our Consolidated Financial Statements.
The following represents our total finance assets, net associated with our lease and finance operations:

Sales of Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable sales arrangements are utilized in the normal course of business as part of our cash and
liquidity management. Prior to fourth quarter 2017, we had facilities in the U.S., Canada and several countries in
Europe that enabled us to sell certain accounts receivable, without recourse, to third-parties. The accounts
receivable sold were generally short-term trade receivables with payment due dates of less than 60 days. In
connection with the efforts of our Strategic Transformation program to reduce costs and simplify our business
processes, during the fourth quarter 2017, we terminated all accounts receivable sales arrangements in North
America and all but one arrangement in Europe, which resulted in a one-time reduction of our operating cash flows.
The remaining accounts receivable sales facility in Europe enables us to sell receivables 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.
The net impact from the sales of accounts receivable on operating cash flows is summarized below:

Refer to Note 6 - Accounts Receivable, Net in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information
regarding our accounts receivable sales arrangements.
Sales of Finance Receivables
In 2013 and 2012, we transferred our entire interest in certain groups of lease finance receivables to third-party
entities for cash proceeds and beneficial interests. The transfers were accounted for as sales with derecognition of
the associated lease receivables. There have been no transfers or sales of finance receivables since 2013. We
continued to service the sold receivables and record servicing fee income over the expected life of the associated
receivables. During 2017, we exercised the various clean-up calls we, as the servicer, held on the sold receivables
and accordingly repurchased the remaining balances of the previously derecognized receivables and terminated the
programs. The amounts repurchased were not material.

Share Repurchase Programs - Treasury Stock
No shares were repurchased during 2017 or 2016, nor were any shares repurchased through January 31, 2018.
During 2015, we repurchased 28.8 million shares of our common stock for an aggregate cost of $1.3 billion, including
fees.

Dividends
The Board of Directors declared aggregate dividends of $259 million, $317 million and $299 million on common
stock in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The decrease in 2017 as compared to prior years is primarily due to the
decrease in 2017 of the quarterly dividend to 25 cents per share from 31 cents per share in conjunction with the
separation.
The Board of Directors declared aggregate dividends of $14 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 on the

purchases over the next year and is not a contractual commitment. In the past two years, actual purchases from Flex averaged approximately
$394 million per year.
(5) Other purchase commitments: We enter into other purchase commitments with vendors in the ordinary course of business. Our policy with
respect to all purchase commitments is to record losses, if any, when they are probable and reasonably estimable. We currently do not have,
nor do we anticipate, material loss contracts.
(6) Total obligations do not include payments for the deemed repatriation tax recorded as part of the estimated charge for the Tax Act as we
expect to utilize our existing foreign tax credit carryforwards to settle this obligation. Refer to Note 18 - Income and Other Taxes in the
Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the estimated charge associated with the Tax Act.
Pension and Other Post-retirement Benefit Plans
We sponsor defined benefit pension plans and retiree health plans that require periodic cash contributions. Our 2017
cash contributions for these plans were $836 million for our defined benefit pension plans and $64 million for our
retiree health plans. Contributions to our U.S. tax-qualified defined benefit plans in 2017 included $500 million of
additional voluntary contributions that were funded from a Senior Note offering in 2017. Refer to Note 14 - Debt in
the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the issuance of the Senior Notes.
In 2018, based on current actuarial calculations, we expect to make contributions of approximately $192 million to
our worldwide defined benefit pension plans and $62 million to our retiree health benefit plans. There are no
contributions required in 2018 for our U.S. tax-qualified defined benefit plans to meet the minimum funding
requirements. However, our estimated 2018 contributions include $50 of voluntary contributions to these plans.
Contributions to our defined benefit pension plans in subsequent years will depend on a number of factors, including
the investment performance of plan assets and discount rates as well as potential legislative and plan changes. At
December 31, 2017, the net underfunded balances of our U.S. and Non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans were
$956 million and $395 million, respectively, or $1,351 million in the aggregate, which is an $812 million decrease
from the balance at December 31, 2016. The decrease is primarily due to the increased level of contributions during
2017.
Our retiree health benefit plans are non-funded and are almost entirely related to domestic operations. The unfunded
balance of our retiree health plans is $723 million at December 31, 2017. Cash contributions are made each year to
cover medical claims costs incurred during the year. The amounts reported in the above table as retiree health
payments represent our estimate of future benefit payments.
Refer to Note 17 - Employee Benefit Plans in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information
regarding contributions to our defined benefit pension and post-retirement plans.

Fuji Xerox
We purchased products, including parts and supplies, from Fuji Xerox totaling $1.6 billion, $1.6 billion and $1.7 billion
in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Our purchase commitments with Fuji Xerox are entered into in the normal
course of business and typically have a lead time of three months. Related party transactions with Fuji Xerox are
discussed in Note 10 - Investments in Affiliates, at Equity in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Brazil Tax and Labor Contingencies
Our Brazilian operations are involved in various litigation matters and have received or been the subject of numerous
governmental assessments related to indirect and other taxes, as well as disputes associated with former employees
and contract labor. The tax matters, which comprise a significant portion of the total contingencies, 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.
The labor matters principally relate to claims made by former employees and contract labor for the equivalent
payment of all social security and other related labor benefits, as well as consequential tax claims, as if they were
regular employees. As of December 31, 2017, the total amounts related to the unreserved portion of the tax and
labor contingencies, inclusive of related interest, amounted to approximately $600 million with the decrease from the
December 31, 2016 balance of $750 million, primarily related to closed cases partially offset by interest. With respect
to the unreserved balance of $600 million, 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 of December 31, 2017 we had $72 million of escrow cash deposits for matters we are disputing and
additional letters of credit and surety bonds of $147 million and $98 million, respectively, which include associated
indexation. There were no liens on Brazilian assets as of December 31, 2017. Generally, any escrowed amounts
would be refundable and any liens would be removed to the extent the matters are resolved in our favor. We
routinely assess all these matters as to 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.
Other Contingencies and Commitments
As more fully discussed in Note 19 - Contingencies and Litigation in the Consolidated Financial Statements, 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. In addition, guarantees,
indemnifications and claims may arise during the ordinary course of business from relationships with suppliers,
customers and non-consolidated affiliates. Nonperformance under a contract including a guarantee, indemnification
or claim could trigger an obligation of the Company.
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. Should developments in any of these areas 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, financial position and cash flows in the period or periods in which such
change in determination, judgment or settlement occurs.
Unrecognized Tax Benefits
As of December 31, 2017, we had $125 million of unrecognized tax benefits. This represents the tax benefits
associated with various tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, on domestic and foreign tax returns that have
not been recognized in our financial statements due to uncertainty regarding their resolution. The resolution or
settlement of these tax positions with the taxing authorities is at various stages and, therefore, we are unable to
make a reliable estimate of the eventual cash flows by period that may be required to settle these matters. In
addition, certain of these matters may not require cash settlement due to the existence of credit and net operating
loss carryforwards, as well as other offsets, including the indirect benefit from other taxing jurisdictions that may be
available.
Refer to Note 18 - Income and Other Taxes in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information
regarding unrecognized tax benefits.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We may occasionally utilize off-balance sheet arrangements in our operations (as defined by the SEC Financial
Reporting Release 67 (FRR-67), “Disclosure in Management’s Discussion and Analysis about Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations”). We enter or have entered into the following arrangements
that have off-balance sheet elements:
• Operating leases in the normal course of business. The nature of these lease arrangements is discussed in Note
9 - Land, Buildings, Equipment and Software, Net in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
• Accounts receivable sales facilities. During the fourth quarter 2017 we terminated all accounts receivable sales
arrangements in North America and all but one arrangement in Europe. Refer to Note 6 - Accounts Receivable,
Net in the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding these facilities.
• Sales of finance receivables. During 2013 and 2012, we entered into arrangements to transfer and sell finance
receivables. During 2017, we exercised the various clean-up calls we, as the servicer, held on the sold
receivables and accordingly repurchased the remaining balances of the previously derecognized receivables
and terminated the programs. Refer to Note 7 - Finance Receivables, Net in the Consolidated Financial
Statements for further information regarding these sales. There were no sales of finance receivables since 2013.
As of December 31, 2017, we do not believe we have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are
reasonably likely to have, a material current or future effect on financial condition, changes in financial condition,
revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
In addition, see the preceding table for the Company's contractual cash obligations and other commercial
commitments and Note 19 - Contingencies and Litigation in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information regarding contingencies, guarantees, indemnifications and warranty liabilities.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We have reported our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In
addition, we have discussed our results using non-GAAP measures.
We believe these non-GAAP measures allow investors to better understand the trends in our business and to better
understand and compare our results. Accordingly, we believe it 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.
Management believes that all of these non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional means of analyzing the
current period's results against the corresponding period's results. However, these non-GAAP financial measures
should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the company’s reported results prepared in accordance
with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for
comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements
prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our management regularly uses our supplemental non-GAAP financial
measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions. These non-
GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods.
Compensation of our executives is based in part on the performance of our business based on these non-GAAP
measures.
A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures
calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are set forth on the following tables as well as the fourth quarter
2017 presentation slides available at www.xerox.com/investor.
Adjusted Earnings Measures
• Net income and Earnings per share (EPS)
• Effective tax rate
• Gross margin, RD&E and SAG (only adjusted for non-service retirement-related costs and transaction/proxy
related costs)
The above measures were adjusted for the following items:
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.
52
1026325_XRX-2017-10K.pdf 58
4/6/18 11:52 AM
Restructuring and related costs: Restructuring and related costs include restructuring and asset impairment charges
as well as costs associated with our Strategic Transformation program 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 Strategic Transformation
program 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.
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) amortized actuarial gains/losses and (iv) 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. Adjusted earnings will continue to include the elements of our retirement costs related to current
employee service (service cost and amortization of prior service cost) as well as the cost of our defined contribution
plans.
Other discrete, unusual or infrequent items: In addition, we have also excluded the following additional items given
their discrete, unusual or infrequent nature and their impact on our results for the period:
•
Losses on early extinguishment of debt in the first and fourth quarter of 2017.
• A benefit from the remeasurement of a tax matter in the first quarter of 2017 that related to a previously adjusted
item.
• Costs incurred in the fourth quarter of 2017 related to the recently announced transaction with Fujifilm as well as
to our expected proxy contest. These costs are primarily for third-party investment banking, legal, accounting,
consulting and other similar services.
• The estimated non-cash charge in the fourth quarter 2017 reflecting the impact associated with the enactment of
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act") in December 2017. See the “Income Taxes” section in the MD&A
further explanation.
for
We believe the exclusion of these items allows investors to better understand and analyze the results for the period
as compared to prior periods and expected future trends in our business.
Adjusted Operating Income and Margin
We also calculate and utilize adjusted operating income and margin earnings measures by adjusting our pre-tax
income and margin amounts. In addition to the costs and expenses noted as adjustments for our Adjusted Earnings
measures, adjusted operating income and margin also exclude Other expenses, net. Other expenses, net is primarily
e
comprised of non-financing interest expense and also includes certain other non-operating costs and expenses. W
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 operating income and margin also includes Equity in net income of
unconsolidated affiliates. Equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates primarily reflects our 25% share of Fuji
Xerox net income. We include this amount in our measure of adjusted operating income and margin as Fuji Xerox is
our primary product supplier and intermediary to the Asia/Pacific market for the distribution of Xerox branded
products and services.
Constant Currency (CC)
Refer to the "Currency Impact" in the MD&A for discussion of this measure and its use in our analysis of revenue
growth.

Xerox 2017 Annual Report 55
2018 Reporting Changes
In the first quarter 2018, we adopted the following Accounting Standard Updates, which are expected to affect our
2018 reporting and, in certain cases, previously reported amounts for 2017:
• ASU 2014-09 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).
• ASU 2016-15 - Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.
• ASU 2016-18 - Statement of Cash Flows - Restricted Cash.
• ASU 2017-07 - Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic
Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost.
The following is summary discussion of the expected impacts from the adoption of these updates. Refer to Note 1 –
Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for additional information regarding the
adoption of these standards.
ASU 2014-09 - Revenue: We adopted this standard using the modified retrospective method of adoption, which
does not require restatement of previously reported amounts. However, the adoption of this standard is not
expected to have a material impact for most of our revenues. Accordingly, the impact on comparability is likewise
not expected to be material with the exception of certain revenues currently reported in Services revenues that will
be reported in Equipment sale revenue in 2018. These revenues, which are approximately $50 million annually,
relate to certain analyst services performed in connection with the installation of equipment that are expected to be
considered part of the equipment sale performance obligation in 2018. No other material impacts are expected in
2018.
Another change we will have upon adoption of this update is with respect to deferred contract costs. The new
standard requires the incremental costs to obtain a contract, which for us is primarily sales commissions paid to
sales people and agents, to be deferred and amortized over the term of the related contract. We do not expect the
post-adoption policy of deferral and amortization of these costs to have a material impact on our future
Consolidated Statements of Income.
ASU 2016-15 and ASU 2016-18 - Cash Flow Reporting: The following is a summary of the primary impacts to our
Statement of Cash Flows expected upon the adoption of these updates. The adoption of these updates require the
restatement of previously reported amounts.
• Cash collected on beneficial interests received in a sale of receivables must now be classified as investing cash
flows. Currently, these collections are reported in operating cash flows. We reported $234 million and $270
million of collections on beneficial interests as operating cash inflows for the years ended December 31, 2017
and 2016, respectively. Accordingly, 2017 and 2016 operating and investing cash flows will be revised by those
amounts when reported in 2018. There is no expected impact to our 2018 cash flows from this change due to
the termination of all accounts receivable sales arrangements in North America and most arrangements in
Europe and the final repurchase of previously sold finance receivables during the fourth quarter of 2017.
• Restricted cash balances must now be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the
beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. Previously these
amounts were excluded from cash and cash equivalents presented in the cash flow statement. We held $75
million and $179 million of restricted cash at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The
changes in our restricted cash balances were primarily related to our accounts receivable sales programs,
which were terminated during the fourth quarter of 2017. Accordingly, the impact of this change on our reported
cash flows is not expected to be material in 2018.

Xerox 2017 Annual Report 57
ASU 2017-07 - Reporting of Retirement Related Benefit Costs: This update primarily changes how we present our
retirement related benefit costs in the income statement. In 2018, upon adoption of the update, we will only report
the service cost component of these costs in Cost of sales, services, RD&E, SAG and restructuring. The other
components of our retirement related benefit costs such as interest, return on assets, amortization of prior service
costs/credits and actuarial gains/losses as well as the impacts of any plan settlements/curtailments will be reported
in Other expenses, net. This update only affects the presentation of retirement related benefit costs in the income
statement and does not change the measurement of retirement related benefit costs or reported net income or
earnings per share (EPS) amounts. Similar to the cash flow update, the adoption of this update requires the
restatement of previously reported amounts.
The adoption of this update is expected to impact our non-GAAP financial measures. Currently our non-GAAP
adjusted1 earnings measures and adjusted1 operating margin include the service cost and the amortization of prior
service cost components of our retirement related benefit costs; the other components of our retirement related
benefit costs are excluded. Since the update considers the amortization of prior service cost separately from the
service cost component and as part of the costs being reported in Other expenses, net, we will revise the definitions
of our non-GAAP adjusted earnings measures accordingly to conform to this presentation and exclude that
component. Consistent with the adoption methodology for reported results, in 2018 we will revise our prior year non-
GAAP adjusted earnings measures to conform to this new presentation.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
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 utilized derivative financial instruments to hedge economic exposures, as well as reduce earnings and cash flow
volatility resulting from shifts in market rates.
Recent market events have not caused 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 15 - Financial Instruments in
the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion on our financial risk management.
Foreign Exchange Risk Management
Assuming a 10% appreciation or depreciation in foreign currency exchange rates from the quoted foreign currency
exchange rates at December 31, 2017, it would not significantly change the fair value of foreign currency-
denominated assets and liabilities as all material currency asset and liability exposures were economically hedged
as of December 31, 2017. A 10% appreciation or depreciation of the U.S. Dollar against all currencies from the
quoted foreign currency exchange rates at December 31, 2017 would have an impact on our cumulative translation
adjustment portion of equity of approximately $411 million. The net amount invested in foreign subsidiaries and
affiliates, primarily Xerox Limited, Fuji Xerox and Xerox Canada Inc. and translated into U.S. Dollars using the year-
end exchange rates, was approximately $4.1 billion at December 31, 2017.
Interest Rate Risk Management
The consolidated average interest rate associated with our total debt for 2017, 2016 and 2015 approximated 4.6%,
4.7%, and 4.8%, respectively. Interest expense includes the impact of our interest rate derivatives. The average
interest rate for 2016 excludes interest associated with the $1.0 billion Term Loan Facility that was required to be
repaid upon completion of the Separation and therefore was reported in discontinued operations in 2016.
Virtually all customer-financing assets earn fixed rates of interest. The interest rates on a significant portion of the
Company's term debt are fixed.
As of December 31, 2017, $325 million of our total debt of $5.5 billion carried variable interest rates, including the
effect of pay variable interest rate swaps, if any, we may use to reduce the effective interest rate on our fixed
coupon debt.
The fair market values of our fixed-rate financial instruments are sensitive to changes in interest rates. At
December 31, 2017, a 10% change in market interest rates would change the fair values of such financial
instruments by approximately $93 million.

Xerox 2017 Annual Report 59
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Xerox Corporation
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Xerox Corporation and its subsidiaries as of
December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related consolidated statements of income (loss), comprehensive income
(loss), shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2017,
including the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2)
(collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based on criteria established in Internal Control -
Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of their operations and their
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2017 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all
material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based on criteria
established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
Basis for Opinions
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective
internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial
reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our
responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's
internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with
respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free
of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial
reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures
that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts
and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of
the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an
understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and
testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our
audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting
includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made
only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s
assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
60
1026325_XRX-2017-10K.pdf 66
4/6/18 11:52 AM
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may
become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate.

Reports of Management
Management's Responsibility for Financial Statements
Our management is responsible for the integrity and objectivity of all information presented in this annual report.
The consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America and include amounts based on management's best estimates and judgments.
Management believes the consolidated financial statements fairly reflect the form and substance of transactions
and that the financial statements fairly represent the Company's financial position and results of operations.
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, which is composed solely of independent directors, meets regularly
with the independent auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the internal auditors and representatives of
management to review accounting, financial reporting, internal control and audit matters, as well as the nature and
extent of the audit effort. The Audit Committee is responsible for the engagement of the independent auditors. The
independent auditors and internal auditors have free access to the Audit Committee.
Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting,
as such term is defined in the rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under the supervision
and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive, financial and accounting officers,
we have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the
framework in “Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013)” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations
of the Treadway Commission.
Based on the above evaluation, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was
effective as of December 31, 2017. The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December
31, 2017 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as
stated in their report, which is included herein.

Xerox Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(in millions, except per-share data and where otherwise noted)
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
References herein to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” and “Xerox” refer to Xerox Corporation and its consolidated
subsidiaries unless the context suggests otherwise.
Description of Business
Xerox is a $10.3 billion global enterprise for document management solutions. We provide advanced document
technology, services, software and genuine Xerox supplies for a range of customers including small and mid-size
businesses, large enterprises, governments and graphic communications providers, and for our partners who serve
them. We operate in approximately 160 countries worldwide.
Basis of Consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Xerox Corporation and all of our controlled
subsidiary companies. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Investments in
business entities in which we do not have control, but we have the ability to exercise significant influence over
operating and financial policies (generally 20% to 50% ownership) are accounted for using the equity method of
accounting. Operating results of acquired businesses are included in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss)
from the date of acquisition.
We consolidate variable interest entities if we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the entity. Operating
results for variable interest entities in which we are determined to be the primary beneficiary are included in the
Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) from the date such determination is made.
For convenience and ease of reference, we refer to the financial statement caption “Income before Income Taxes
and Equity Income” as “pre-tax income” throughout the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Discontinued Operations
On December 31, 2016 we completed the separation of our Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) business through
the distribution of all of the issued and outstanding stock of Conduent to Xerox Corporation stockholders. As a result
of the separation and distribution, the financial position and results of operations of the BPO Business are presented
as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations for all periods presented.
In 2014, we announced an agreement to sell the Information Technology Outsourcing (ITO) business to Atos SE
(Atos). As a result of this agreement, we reported the ITO business as held for sale and a discontinued operation up
through its date of sale, which was completed on June 30, 2015.
Refer to Note 5 - Divestitures for additional information regarding discontinued operations and other divestitures.
Reverse Stock Split
On May 23, 2017, the Board of Directors authorized a reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding Xerox
common stock at a ratio of one-for-four shares, together with the proportionate reduction in the authorized shares of
its common stock from 1,750,000,000 shares to 437,500,000 shares. Shareholder approval for the reverse stock split
was obtained at the company's Annual Shareholder Meeting on May 23, 2017 and the reverse stock split became
effective on June 14, 2017. At the effective date, every four shares of the company’s common stock that were issued
and outstanding were automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share, without any change in par
value of such shares. Accordingly, we reclassified $760 from Common stock to Additional paid-in capital. The
reverse stock split also correspondingly affected all outstanding Xerox equity awards and outstanding convertible
securities.
All authorized, issued and outstanding stock and per share amounts contained in the accompanying Consolidated
Financial Statements have been adjusted to reflect this reverse stock split for all prior periods presented.
Prior Period Adjustments
Refer to Note 2 - Correction of Fuji Xerox Misstatement in Prior Period Financial Statements for additional
information regarding the 2017 correction of an error related to the amounts recorded as equity income for our Fuji
Xerox joint venture.

In 2015, we recorded a $16 out-of-period adjustment associated with an over-accrual of an employee benefit liability
account. The impact of this adjustment was not material to any individual prior quarter or year and was not material
to our 2015 results.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements requires that we make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Future events and their effects cannot be predicted with certainty; accordingly, our accounting estimates
require the exercise of judgment. The accounting estimates used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial
Statements will change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained
and as our operating environment changes. Our estimates are based on management's best available information
including current events, historical experience, actions that the company may undertake in the future and on various
other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. As a result, actual results may be
different from these estimates.
The following table summarizes certain recurring-type costs and expenses that require management estimates for
the three years ended December 31, 2017:

In the ordinary course of accounting for the items discussed above, we make changes in estimates as appropriate
and as we become aware of new or revised circumstances surrounding those estimates. Such changes and
refinements in estimation methodologies are reflected in reported results of operations in the period in which the
changes are made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
and in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
New Accounting Standards and Accounting Changes
Except for the Accounting Standard Updates (ASU's) discussed below, the new ASU's issued by the FASB during the
last two years did not have any significant impact on the Company.
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), to supersede
nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize
revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration
that is expected to be received for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this
core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue
recognition process than required under existing U.S. GAAP, including identifying performance obligations in the
contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the
transaction price to each separate performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 is effective for our fiscal year beginning
January 1, 2018. Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2014-09, the FASB issued the following ASU’s which amend or
provide additional guidance on topics addressed in ASU 2014-09. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08,
Revenue Recognition - Principal versus Agent (reporting revenue gross versus net). In April 2016, the FASB issued
Xerox 2017 Annual Report 69
1026325_XRX-2017-10K.pdf 75
4/6/18 11:52 AM
ASU 2016-10, Revenue Recognition - Identifying Performance Obligations and Licenses. In May 2016, the FASB
issued ASU 2016-12, Revenue Recognition - Narrow Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients.
We will adopt this standard beginning January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method of adoption. Under
current revenue recognition guidance, a significant majority of our revenue is recorded when we invoice customers,
as that is normally the point at which all the revenue recognition criteria are met. Under ASU 2014-09, based on the
nature of our contracts, we expect to continue to recognize revenue upon invoicing the customer for the large
majority of our revenue. Additionally, we expect the unit of accounting, that is, the identification of performance
obligations, will be consistent with current revenue guidance. Accordingly, the adoption of this standard is not
expected to have a material impact for the large majority of our revenues. Lastly, a significant portion of our
equipment sales are either recorded as sales-type leases or through direct sales to distributors and resellers and
these revenue streams are not expected to be impacted by the adoption of ASU 2014-09. As part of our adoption, we
reviewed certain contracts that were either more complex or where the revenue recognition criteria was not directly
aligned with invoicing to the customer, to determine the treatment under ASU 2014-09. Based on this review we
determined that there would not be a material change in our pattern of revenue recognition for these arrangements.
The only change of significance identified in our adoption process involves a change in our classification of certain
revenues currently reported in Services revenues. These revenues, which are approximately $50 annually, relate to
certain analyst services performed in connection with the installation of equipment that are expected to be
considered part of the equipment sale performance obligation in 2018. Accordingly, in 2018 these revenues will be
reported as part of Sales.
Another change we will have upon adoption is with respect to deferred contract costs, which include incremental
costs of obtaining a contract and costs to fulfill a contract. Deferred contract costs have been minimal under our
current practices as most costs to obtain a contract and fulfill a contract were expensed as incurred. However, as a
result of the contract cost guidance included in the new standard, we expect to record a transition asset upon
adoption of approximately $175 primarily related to the incremental cost to obtain contracts. Substantially all of this
adjustment is related to the deferral of sales commissions paid to sales people and agents in connection with the
placement of equipment with post sale service arrangements. This amount is expected to be amortized over its
estimated period of benefit, which we currently estimate to be approximately four years. We do not expect the post-
adoption policy of deferral and amortization of these costs to have a material impact on our future Consolidated
Statements of Income. We expect to continue to assess the impacts of the additional disclosures the new standard
requires as part of our reporting process for the first quarter 2018.
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. This update requires the recognition of leased assets and
lease obligations by lessees for those leases currently classified as operating leases under existing lease guidance.
Short term leases with a term of 12 months or less are not required to be recognized. The update also requires
disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements to increase transparency and comparability among
organizations. The accounting for lessors does not fundamentally change except for changes to conform and align
guidance to the lessee guidance as well as to the new revenue recognition guidance in ASU 2014-09. This update is
effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU
2016-02 on our consolidated financial statements. The aggregate undiscounted value of our operating lease
commitments at December 31, 2017 was approximately $450 primarily related to leases of facilities.
Cash Flows
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts
and Cash Payments. This update provides specific guidance on eight cash flow classification issues where current
guidance is either unclear or does not include specific requirements. This update is effective for our fiscal year
beginning January 1, 2018. This update includes specific guidance which requires cash collected on beneficial
interests received in a sale of receivables be classified as inflows from investing activities. Currently, those
collections are reported in operating cash flows. We reported $234 and $270 of collections on beneficial interests as
operating cash inflows on the Statement of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016,
respectively. Accordingly, since the update must be applied retrospectively, our reported 2017 and 2016 operating
and investing cash flows will be revised by those amounts when reported in 2018. There is no expected impact to
our 2018 cash flows from this reporting change due to the termination of all accounts receivable sales arrangements
in North America and most arrangements in Europe and the final repurchase of previously sold finance receivables
during the fourth quarter of 2017. Refer to Note 6 - Accounts Receivable, Net and Note 7 Finance Receivables, Net
for additional information regarding our receivable sale programs. The other seven issues noted in this update are
not expected to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
70
1026325_XRX-2017-10K.pdf 76
4/6/18 11:52 AM
Additionally, in November 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows - Restricted Cash.
update requires that amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be
included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts
shown on the statement of cash flows. This update is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018 and
must be applied retrospectively through a revision of previously reported amounts. We held $75 and $179 of
restricted cash, currently reported in other current or long-term assets at December 31, 2017 and December 31,
2016, respectively. The changes in our restricted cash balances were primarily related to our accounts receivable
sales programs, which were terminated during the fourth quarter of 2017. Accordingly, this update is not expected to
have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Refer to Note 13 -
Supplemental Financial Information for additional information regarding our restricted cash balances.
The
Derivatives
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to
Accounting for Hedging Activities. The amendments in this update expand and refine hedge accounting for both
financial and non-financial risk components, aligns the recognition and presentation of the effects of hedging
instruments with the same income statement line item that the hedged item is reported and includes certain targeted
improvements to ease the application of current guidance related to the assessment of hedge effectiveness.
update is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted at any interim period.
We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2017-12 on our consolidated financial statements.
This
Retirement Benefits
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the
Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. This update changes how
employers that sponsor defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement plans present net periodic benefit
costs in the income statement. An employer is required to report the service cost component in the same line item or
items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the affected employees during the period.
Other components of net retirement benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately
from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. The update
fective
also allows only the service cost component to be eligible for capitalization, when applicable. This update is ef
for us beginning January 1, 2018. The update must be applied retrospectively for the presentation requirements and
prospectively for the capitalization of the service cost component requirements. The adoption of this update is not
expected to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Refer to Note 17 -
Employee Benefit Plans for the service cost component and other components of net retirement benefit cost.
Intangibles - Goodwill and Other
In January 2017 the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Simplifying the Goodwill
Impairment Test, which eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Instead, an entity should perform its
annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and
recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value,
not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. This update is effective for our fiscal year
beginning January 1, 2020, however we early adopted this update in the fourth quarter of 2017. The adoption of this
update did not have any effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Business Combinations
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a
Business, which clarifies the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be
accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. This update is effective for our fiscal year
beginning January 1, 2018 and is not expected to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of
operations or cash flows.
Income Taxes
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes - Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other than
Inventory. This update requires recognition of the income-tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of assets
other than inventory when the transfer occurs. Under current GAAP, recognition of the income tax consequences for
asset transfers other than inventory could not be recognized until the asset was sold to a third party. This update is
effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018 and is not expected to have a material impact on our financial
condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Xerox 2017 Annual Report 71
1026325_XRX-2017-10K.pdf 77
4/6/18 11:52 AM
Stock Compensation
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation, Improvements to Employee
Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718). This update includes provisions to simplify certain aspects related to
the accounting for share-based awards and the related financial statement presentation. The update also requires
that excess tax benefits and deficiencies be recorded in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled
as compared to equity as allowed under certain conditions by current US GAAP. This change is required to be
adopted prospectively in the period of adoption. In addition, the ASU modifies the classification of certain share-
based payment activities within the statements of cash flows and these changes are required to be applied
retrospectively to all periods presented. We adopted ASU 2016-09 effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1,
2017. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-09 did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of
operations or cash flows. However, the impacts may vary and may add volatility to our income tax expense in future
periods depending upon, among other things, the level of tax expense and the price of the company's common stock
at the date of vesting for share-based awards. For the year ended December 31, 2017, we recognized $3 of
additional tax expense related to the application of this update.
Financial Instruments - Credit Losses
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses
on Financial Instruments, which requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets.
The update impacts financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net
income. This update is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted as of
January 1, 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated
financial statements.
Other Updates
In 2017 and 2016, the FASB also issued the following Accounting Standards Updates which have not had, and are
not expected to have, a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption.
Those updates are as follows:
• Service Concession Arrangements: ASU 2017-10, (Topic 853) Determining the Customer of the Operation
Services (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). This update is effective for our fiscal year
beginning January 1, 2018.
• Compensation - Stock Compensation: ASU 2017-09, (Topic 718) Scope of Modification Accounting. This
update is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018.
• Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets: ASU 2017-05, (Subtopic
610-20) Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial
Assets. This update is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018.
• Financial Instruments - Classification and Measurement: ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Recognition
and Measurement of Financial Instruments and Financial Liabilities. This update is effective for our fiscal year
beginning January 1, 2018.
•
Inventory: ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Subsequent Measurement of Inventory, which was effective for our
fiscal year beginning January 1, 2017.
Summary of Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition
We generate revenue through services, the sale and rental of equipment, supplies and income associated with the
financing of our equipment sales. Revenue is recognized when it is realized or realizable and earned. We consider
revenue realized or realizable and earned when we have persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has
occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Delivery does not occur
until equipment has been shipped or services have been provided to the customer, risk of loss has transferred to the
customer, and either customer acceptance has been obtained, customer acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the
company has objective evidence that the criteria specified in the customer acceptance provisions have been
satisfied. The sales price is not considered to be fixed or determinable until all contingencies related to the sale have
been resolved. More specifically, revenue related to services and sales of our products is recognized as follows:
72
1026325_XRX-2017-10K.pdf 78
4/6/18 11:52 AM
Equipment: Revenues from the sale of equipment, including those from sales-type leases, are recognized at the
time of sale or at the inception of the lease, as appropriate. For equipment sales that require us to install the product
at the customer location, revenue is recognized when the equipment has been delivered and installed at the
customer location. Sales of customer installable products are recognized upon shipment or receipt by the customer
according to the customer's shipping terms. Revenues from equipment under other leases and similar arrangements
are accounted for by the operating lease method and are recognized as earned over the lease term, which is
generally on a straight-line basis.
Maintenance Services: Maintenance service revenues are derived primarily from maintenance contracts on the
equipment sold to our customers and are recognized over the term of the contracts. A substantial portion of our
products are sold with full service maintenance agreements for which the customer typically pays a base service fee
plus a variable amount based on usage. As a consequence, other than the product warranty obligations associated
with certain of our low end products, we do not have any significant product warranty obligations, including any
obligations under customer satisfaction programs.
Bundled Lease Arrangements: We sell our products and services under bundled lease arrangements, which
typically include equipment, service, supplies and financing components for which the customer pays a single
negotiated fixed minimum monthly payment for all elements over the contractual lease term. These arrangements
also typically include an incremental, variable component for page volumes in excess of contractual page volume
minimums, which are often expressed in terms of price-per-page. The fixed minimum monthly payments are
multiplied by the number of months in the contract term to arrive at the total fixed minimum payments that the
customer is obligated to make (fixed payments) over the lease term. The payments associated with page volumes in
excess of the minimums are contingent on whether or not such minimums are exceeded (contingent payments). In
applying our lease accounting methodology, we only consider the fixed payments for purposes of allocating to the
relative fair value elements of the contract. Contingent payments, if any, are recognized as revenue in the period
when the customer exceeds the minimum copy volumes specified in the contract.
Revenues under bundled arrangements are allocated considering the relative selling prices of the lease and non-
lease deliverables included in the bundled arrangement. Lease deliverables include the equipment, financing,
maintenance and other executory costs, while non-lease deliverables generally consist of the supplies and non-
maintenance services. The allocation for the lease deliverables begins by allocating revenues to the maintenance
and other executory costs plus a profit thereon. These elements are generally recognized over the term of the lease
as service revenue. The remaining amounts are allocated to the equipment and financing elements which are
subjected to the accounting estimates noted below under “Leases.”
Our pricing interest rates, which are used in determining customer payments in a bundled lease arrangement, are
’
s
developed based upon a variety of factors including local prevailing rates in the marketplace and the customer
credit history, industry and credit class. We reassess our pricing interest rates quarterly based on changes in the
25
local prevailing rates in the marketplace. These interest rates have generally been adjusted if the rates vary by
basis points or more, cumulatively, from the rate last in effect. The pricing interest rates generally equal the implicit
rates within the leases, as corroborated by our comparisons of cash to lease selling prices.
Sales to distributors and resellers: We utilize distributors and resellers to sell many of our technology products,
supplies and services to end-user customers. We refer to our distributor and reseller network as our two-tier
distribution model. Sales to distributors and resellers are generally recognized as revenue when products are sold to
such distributors and resellers. However, revenue is only recognized when the distributor or reseller has economic
substance apart from the company, the sales price is not contingent upon resale or payment by the end user
customer and we have no further obligations related to bringing about the resale, delivery or installation of the
product.
Distributors and resellers participate in various rebate, price-protection, cooperative marketing and other programs,
and we record provisions for these programs as a reduction to revenue when the sales occur. Similarly, we account
for our estimates of sales returns and other allowances when the sales occur based on our historical experience.
In certain instances, we may provide lease financing to end-user customers who purchased equipment we sold to
distributors or resellers. We compete with other third-party leasing companies with respect to the lease financing
provided to these end-user customers.
Supplies: Supplies revenue generally is recognized upon shipment or utilization by customers in accordance with
the sales contract terms.

Software: Most of our equipment has both software and non-software components that function together to deliver
the equipment's essential functionality and therefore they are accounted for together as part of equipment sales
revenues. Software accessories sold in connection with our equipment sales, as well as free-standing software sales
are accounted for as separate deliverables or elements. In most cases, these software products are sold as part of
multiple element arrangements and include software maintenance agreements for the delivery of technical service,
as well as unspecified upgrades or enhancements on a when-and-if-available basis. In those software accessory and
free-standing software arrangements that include more than one element, we allocate the revenue among the
elements based on vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value. Revenue allocated to software is
normally recognized upon delivery while revenue allocated to the software maintenance element is recognized
ratably over the term of the arrangement.
Leases: As noted above, equipment may be placed with customers under bundled lease arrangements. The two
primary accounting provisions which we use to classify transactions as sales-type or operating leases are: (1) a
review of the lease term to determine if it is equal to or greater than 75% of the economic life of the equipment and
(2) a review of the present value of the minimum lease payments to determine if they are equal to or greater than
90% of the fair market value of the equipment at the inception of the lease.
We consider the economic life of most of our products to be five years, since this represents the most frequent
contractual lease term for our principal products and only a small percentage of our leases are for original terms
longer than five years. There is no significant after-market for our used equipment. We believe five years is
representative of the period during which the equipment is expected to be economically usable, with normal service,
for the purpose for which it is intended. Residual values are not significant.
With respect to fair value, we perform an analysis of equipment fair value based on cash selling prices during the
applicable period. The cash selling prices are compared to the range of values determined for our leases. The range
of cash selling prices must be reasonably consistent with the lease selling prices in order for us to determine that
such lease prices are indicative of fair value.
Financing: Finance income attributable to sales-type leases, direct financing leases and installment loans is
recognized on the accrual basis using the effective interest method.
Services: Revenues associated with our document management services are generally recognized as services are
rendered, which is generally on the basis of the number of transactions processed. In service arrangements where
final acceptance of a printing solution by the customer is required, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria
have been met. Revenues on unit-price contracts are recognized at the contractual selling prices as work is
completed and accepted by the customer.
In connection with our services arrangements, we may incur and capitalize costs to originate these long-term
contracts and to perform the migration, transition and setup activities necessary to enable us to perform under the
terms of the arrangement. These capitalized costs are amortized over the contractual service period of the
arrangement to cost of services. From time to time, we also provide inducements to customers in various forms,
including contractual credits, which are capitalized and amortized as a reduction of revenue over the term of the
contract.
Long-lived assets used in the fulfillment of service arrangements are capitalized and depreciated over the shorter of
their useful life or the term of the contract if an asset is contract specific.
Our services contracts may also include the sale of equipment and software. In these instances we follow the
policies noted above under Equipment-Related Revenues.
Other Revenue Recognition Policies
Multiple Element Arrangements: As described above, we enter into the following revenue arrangements that may
consist of multiple deliverables:
• Bundled lease arrangements, which typically include both lease deliverables and non-lease deliverables as
described above.
• Contracts for multiple types of document related services including professional and value-added services. For
instance, we may contract for an implementation of a printing solution and also provide services to operate the
solution over a period of time; or we may contract to scan, manage and store customer documents.

1026325_XRX-2017-10K.pdf 80
4/6/18 11:52 AM
In substantially all of our multiple element arrangements, we are able to separate the deliverables since we normally
will meet both of the following criteria:
• The delivered item(s) has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis; and
•
If the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item(s), delivery or performance of
the undelivered item(s) is considered probable and substantially in our control.
Consideration in a multiple-element arrangement is allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables
on the basis of the relative selling price. When applying the relative selling price method, the selling price for each
deliverable is primarily determined based on VSOE or third-party evidence (TPE) of the selling price. The above
noted revenue policies are then applied to each separated deliverable, as applicable.
Revenue-based Taxes: We report revenue net of any revenue-based taxes assessed by governmental authorities
that are imposed on and concurrent with specific revenue-producing transactions. The primary revenue-based taxes
are sales tax and value-added tax (VAT).
Shipping and Handling
Costs related to shipping and handling are recognized as incurred and included in Cost of sales in the Consolidated
Statements of Income (Loss).
Other Significant Accounting Policies
Research, Development and Engineering (RD&E)
Research, development and engineering costs are expensed as incurred. Sustaining engineering costs are incurred
with respect to on-going product improvements or environmental compliance after initial product launch. Sustaining
engineering costs were $90, $95 and $126 in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, including money market funds, and investments with original
maturities of three months or less.
Receivable Sales
We transfer certain portions of our receivable portfolios and normally account for those transfers as sales based on
meeting the criteria for derecognition in accordance with ASC Topic 860 "Transfer and Servicing" of Financial
Gains or losses on the sale of receivables depend, in part, on both (a) the cash proceeds and (b) the net non-cash
proceeds received or paid. When we sell receivables, we normally receive beneficial interests in the transferred
receivables from the purchasers as part of the proceeds. We may refer to these beneficial interests as a deferred
purchase price. The beneficial interests obtained are initially measured at their fair value. We generally estimate fair
value based on the present value of expected future cash flows, which are calculated using management's best
estimates of the key assumptions including credit losses, prepayment rate and discount rates commensurate with
the risks involved. Refer to Note 6 - Accounts Receivable, Net and Note 7 - Finance Receivables, Net for more
details on our receivable sales.
Assets.
Inventories
Inventories are carried at the lower of average cost or net realizable value. Inventories also include equipment that is
returned at the end of the lease term. Returned equipment is recorded at the lower of remaining net book value or
salvage value, which is normally not significant. We regularly review inventory quantities and record a provision for
excess and/or obsolete inventory based primarily on our estimated forecast of product demand, production
requirements and servicing commitments. Several factors may influence the realizability of our inventories, including
our decision to exit a product line, technological changes and new product development. The provision for excess
and/or obsolete raw materials and equipment inventories is based primarily on near term forecasts of product
demand and include consideration of new product introductions, as well as changes in remanufacturing strategies.
The provision for excess and/or obsolete service parts inventory is based primarily on projected servicing
requirements over the life of the related equipment populations.
Land, Buildings and Equipment on Operating Leases
Land, buildings and equipment are recorded at cost. Buildings and equipment are depreciated over their estimated
useful lives. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life.
Equipment on operating leases is depreciated to estimated salvage value over the lease term. Depreciation is
computed using the straight-line method. Significant improvements are capitalized and maintenance and repairs are
Xerox 2017 Annual Report 75

expensed. Refer to Note 8 - Inventories and Equipment on Operating Leases, Net and Note 9 - Land, Buildings,
Equipment and Software, Net for further discussion.
Software - Internal Use and Product
We capitalize direct costs associated with developing, purchasing or otherwise acquiring software for internal use
and amortize these costs on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life of the software, beginning when the
software is implemented (Internal Use Software). Costs incurred for upgrades and enhancements that will not result
in additional functionality are expensed as incurred. Amounts expended for Internal Use Software are included in
Cash Flows from Investing.
We also capitalize certain costs related to the development of software solutions to be sold to our customers upon
reaching technological feasibility (Product Software). These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the
estimated economic life of the software. Amounts expended for Product Software are included in Cash Flows from
Operations. We perform periodic reviews to ensure that unamortized Product Software costs remain recoverable
from estimated future operating profits (net realizable value or NRV). Costs to support or service licensed software
are charged to Costs of services as incurred.
Refer to Note 9 - Land, Buildings, Equipment and Software, Net for further information.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of acquired net assets in a business
combination, including the amount assigned to identifiable intangible assets. The primary drivers that generate
goodwill are the value of synergies between the acquired entities and the company and the acquired assembled
workforce, neither of which qualifies as an identifiable intangible asset. Goodwill is not amortized but rather is tested
for impairment annually or more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
value of the asset may not be recoverable an impairment loss may have been incurred.
We normally assess goodwill for impairment at least annually during the fourth quarter. Impairment testing for
goodwill is done at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below an operating
segment (a "component") if the component constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is
available, and segment management regularly reviews the operating results of that component. Consistent with the
determination that we had one operating segment, we determined that there is one reporting unit and tested goodwill
for impairment at the entity level. We test goodwill by comparing the carrying amount of the entity to its fair value
based on a quantitative analysis. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, goodwill is not considered impaired. If
the carrying value exceeds the fair value, goodwill is considered impaired and we would recognize an impairment
loss for the excess.
Other intangible assets primarily consist of assets obtained in connection with business acquisitions, including
installed customer base and distribution network relationships, existing technology, trademarks and non-compete
agreements. We apply an impairment evaluation whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate
that the carrying value of our intangible assets may not be recoverable. Other intangible assets are amortized on a
straight-line basis over their estimated economic lives. We believe that the straight-line method of amortization
reflects an appropriate allocation of the cost of the intangible assets to earnings in proportion to the amount of
economic benefits obtained annually by the Company.
Refer to Note 11 - Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net for further information.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We review the recoverability of our long-lived assets, including buildings, equipment, internal use software and other
intangible assets, when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset
may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on our ability to recover the carrying value
of the asset from the expected future pre-tax cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) of the related
operations. If these cash flows are less than the carrying value of such asset, an impairment loss is recognized for
the difference between estimated fair value and carrying value. Our primary measure of fair value is based on
discounted cash flows.
Pension and Post-Retirement Benefit Obligations
We sponsor various forms of defined benefit pension plans in several countries covering employees who meet
eligibility requirements. Retiree health benefit plans cover U.S. and Canadian employees for retiree medical costs.
We employ a delayed recognition feature in measuring the costs of pension and post-retirement benefit plans. This
requires changes in the benefit obligations and changes in the value of assets set aside to meet those obligations to
76
1026325_XRX-2017-10K.pdf 82
4/6/18 11:52 AM
be recognized not as they occur, but systematically and gradually over subsequent periods. All changes are
ultimately recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost, except to the extent they may be offset by
subsequent changes. At any point, changes that have been identified and quantified but not recognized as
components of net periodic benefit cost, are recognized in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss, net of tax.
Several statistical and other factors that attempt to anticipate future events are used in calculating the expense,
liability and asset values related to our pension and retiree health benefit plans. These factors include assumptions
we make about the discount rate, expected return on plan assets, rate of increase in healthcare costs, the rate of
future compensation increases and mortality. Actual returns on plan assets are not immediately recognized in our
income statement due to the delayed recognition requirement. In calculating the expected return on the plan asset
component of our net periodic pension cost, we apply our estimate of the long-term rate of return on the plan assets
that support our pension obligations, after deducting assets that are specifically allocated to Transitional Retirement
Accounts (which are accounted for based on specific plan terms).
For purposes of determining the expected return on plan assets, we utilize a market-related value approach in
determining the value of the pension plan assets, rather than a fair market value approach. The primary difference
between the two methods relates to systematic recognition of changes in fair value over time (generally two years)
versus immediate recognition of changes in fair value. Our expected rate of return on plan assets is applied to the
market-related asset value to determine the amount of the expected return on plan assets to be used in the
determination of the net periodic pension cost. The market-related value approach reduces the volatility in net
periodic pension cost that would result from using the fair market value approach.
The discount rate is used to present value our future anticipated benefit obligations. The discount rate reflects the
current rate at which benefit liabilities could be effectively settled considering the timing of expected payments for
plan participants. In estimating our discount rate, we consider rates of return on high-quality fixed-income
investments adjusted to eliminate the effects of call provisions, as well as the expected timing of pension and other
benefit payments.
Each year, the difference between the actual return on plan assets and the expected return on plan assets, as well
as increases or decreases in the benefit obligation as a result of changes in the discount rate and other actuarial
assumptions, are added to or subtracted from any cumulative actuarial gain or loss from prior years. This amount is
the net actuarial gain or loss recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. We amortize net actuarial gains
and losses as a component of net pension cost for a year if, as of the beginning of the year, that net gain or loss
(excluding asset gains or losses that have not been recognized in market-related value) exceeds 10% of the greater
of the projected benefit obligation or the market-related value of plan assets (the "corridor" method). This
determination is made on a plan-by-plan basis. If amortization is required for a particular plan, we amortize the
applicable net gain or loss in excess of the 10% threshold on a straight-line basis in net periodic pension cost over
the remaining service period of the employees participating in that pension plan. In plans where substantially all
participants are inactive, the amortization period for the excess is the average remaining life expectancy of the plan
participants.
Our primary domestic plans allow participants the option of settling their vested benefits through the receipt of a
lump-sum payment. The participant's vested benefit is considered fully settled upon payment of the lump sum. W
e
have elected to apply settlement accounting and therefore we recognize the losses associated with settlements in
this plan immediately upon the settlement of the vested benefits. Settlement accounting requires us to recognize a
pro rata portion of the aggregate unamortized net actuarial losses upon settlement. The pro rata factor is computed
as the percentage reduction in the projected benefit obligation due to the settlement of the participant's vested
benefit.
Refer to Note 17 - Employee Benefit Plans for further information regarding our Pension and Post-Retirement Benefit
Obligations.
Foreign Currency Translation and Re-measurement
The functional currency for most foreign operations is the local currency. Net assets are translated at current rates of
exchange and income, expense and cash flow items are translated at average exchange rates for the applicable
period. The translation adjustments are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss.
The U.S. Dollar is used as the functional currency for certain foreign subsidiaries that conduct their business in U.S.
Dollars. A combination of current and historical exchange rates is used in re-measuring the local currency
transactions of these subsidiaries and the resulting exchange adjustments are recorded in Currency (gains) and
losses within Other expenses, net together with other foreign currency remeasurments.

Note 2 – Correction of Fuji Xerox Misstatement in Prior Period Financial Statements
Fuji Xerox is a joint venture between Xerox Corporation and Fujifilm Holdings Corporation (“Fujifilm”) in which Xerox
holds a noncontrolling 25% equity interest and Fujifilm holds the remaining equity interest. In April 2017, Fujifilm
publicly announced it had formed an independent investigation committee (IIC) to conduct a review of the
appropriateness of the accounting practices at Fuji Xerox’s New Zealand subsidiary related to the recovery of
receivables associated with certain bundled leasing transactions that occurred in, or prior to, Fuji Xerox’s fiscal year
ending March 31, 2016.
The IIC’s review, completed during the second quarter 2017, identified total aggregate adjustments to Fuji Xerox's
financial statements of approximately JPY 40 billion (approximately $360 based on the Yen/U.S. Dollar spot
exchange rate at March 31, 2017 of 111.89). The adjustments identified by the IIC primarily related to
misstatements at Fuji Xerox's New Zealand subsidiary as well as their Australian subsidiary and certain other
adjustments. We determined that our cumulative share of the total aggregate adjustments identified as part of the
investigation was approximately $90 and impacted our fiscal years 2009 through 2017.
In the second quarter 2017, we determined that the misstatements to our Equity in net income of unconsolidated
affiliates in prior years and the first quarter of 2017 identified through the IIC's review were immaterial to our
previously issued financial statements. However, we concluded that the cumulative correction of these
misstatements would have had a material effect on our current year consolidated financial statements. Accordingly,
we revised our previously issued annual consolidated financial statements for 2015 and 2016. Certain of the
corrections discussed above affected periods prior to fiscal year 2015, and this effect was reflected as a cumulative,
net of tax adjustment to reduce retained earnings as of January 1, 2015 by $87. The effect of the revision on our
previously issued financial statements is provided in the tables below. Amounts throughout the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted to incorporate the revised amounts, where applicable.

Note 3 – Segment and Geographic Area Reporting
Segment Discussion
Following the separation of the BPO business, we realigned our operations to better manage the business and
serve our customers and the markets in which we operate. In 2017 we transitioned to a geographic focus and are
primarily organized from a sales perspective on the basis of “go-to-market” sales channels. These sales channels
are structured to serve a range of customers for our products and services. As a result of this transition and change
in structure, we concluded that we have one operating and reportable segment - the design, development and sale
of document management systems and solutions. Our chief executive officer was identified as the chief operating
decision maker (“CODM”). All of the company’s activities are interrelated, and each activity is dependent upon and
supportive of the other, including product development, supply chain and back-office support services. In addition,
all significant operating decisions, by management and the Board, are largely based upon an analysis of Xerox on a
total company basis, including assessments related to the Company’s incentive compensation plans.
Geographic Area Data
Geographic area data is based upon the location of the subsidiary reporting the revenue or long-lived assets and is

Note 4 – Acquisitions
2017 Acquisitions
During 2017, Xerox focused on increasing its Small and Mid-sized (SMB) coverage through resellers and partners
(including multi-brand dealers) and continued distribution acquisitions. During 2017, distribution acquisitions totaled
$87 and included the acquisition of MT Business Technologies, Inc. (MT Business), an Ohio-based multi-brand
dealer, and two smaller multi-brand dealers in Iowa and North and South Carolina. MT Business provides office
equipment, productivity solutions and managed print services to organizations throughout Ohio and southeastern
Michigan. The acquisition of MT Business opens new market opportunities in Ohio, including large metropolitan
areas such as Cleveland and Columbus.
2017 Summary
Our 2017 acquisitions resulted in 100% ownership of the acquired companies. The operating results of the
acquisitions described above are not material to our financial statements and are included within our results from
the respective acquisition dates. Our 2017 acquisitions contributed aggregate revenues of approximately $54 to our
2017 total revenues from their respective acquisition dates. The purchase prices for these acquisitions were all cash
and were primarily allocated to intangible assets and goodwill based on management's estimates which included, in
certain situations, third-party valuations. The primary elements that generated the goodwill are the value of
synergies and the acquired assembled workforce. Of the goodwill recorded in 2017, 100% is expected to be
deductible for tax purposes. Refer to Note 11 - Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net for additional information.

Discontinued Operations
Business Process Outsourcing (BPO)
On December 31, 2016, Xerox completed the Separation of its BPO business through the Distribution of all of the
issued and outstanding stock of Conduent to Xerox Corporation stockholders. As a result of the Separation and
Distribution, the financial position and results of operations of the BPO Business are presented as discontinued
operations and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations results for all periods presented. Prior to
the Separation and Distribution of Conduent, in connection with the annual goodwill impairment test, a pre-tax
goodwill impairment charge of $935 was recorded in the fourth quarter 2016 associated with the Commercial
Services reporting unit of the BPO business. This charge is reported in the Loss from discontinued operations, net
of tax, for the year ended December 31, 2016.
We incurred total separation costs of $9 and $159 in 2017 and 2016, respectively, and these costs are included in
Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).
Separation costs are primarily for third-party investment banking, accounting, legal, consulting and other similar
types of services related to the Separation transaction as well as costs associated with the operational separation of
the two companies, such as those related to human resources, brand management, real estate and information
management to the extent not capitalized. Separation costs also include the costs associated with bonuses and
restricted stock grants awarded to employees for retention through the Separation.
Xerox and Conduent entered into various agreements to effect the Separation and provide a framework for their
relationship after the Separation, including a separation and distribution agreement, a transition service agreement,
a tax matters agreement, an employee matters agreement, an intellectual property agreement and a trademark
license agreement. The transition services primarily involve Xerox providing services to Conduent related to
Xerox 2017 Annual Report 81
1026325_XRX-2017-10K.pdf 87
4/6/18 11:52 AM
information technology and human resource infrastructure and are all expected to be for terms of no more than one
year post-separation. In addition, Xerox is also party to various commercial agreements with Conduent entities. The
amount billed for transition services provided under the above agreements as well as sales and purchases to and
from Conduent were not material.
In connection with the Separation, Conduent made a net distribution to Xerox of approximately $1.8 billion prior to
the Distribution Date. Xerox used a portion of the cash distribution proceeds to repay the $1.0 billion Senior
Unsecured Term Facility in January 2017, which was required to be repaid upon completion of the Separation. This
$1.0 billion of cash and debt was excluded from the Cash and cash equivalents and Total Debt at December 31,
2016, respectively, and was reported in Current Assets and Current Liabilities of discontinued operations at
December 31, 2016, respectively. Interest expense associated with this borrowing incurred during 2016 was
included in Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax. Xerox used the balance of the proceeds received as well
as cash on hand to repay $1.0 billion of Senior Notes that came due in the first quarter 2017. Refer to Note 14 -
Debt for additional information.
Information Technology Outsourcing (ITO)
In 2014, we entered into an agreement for the sale of our ITO business to Atos and began reporting it as a
Discontinued Operation. All prior periods were accordingly revised to conform to this presentation. The sale was
completed on June 30, 2015. The final sale price was approximately $940 ($930 net of cash sold) and Atos also
assumed approximately $85 of capital lease obligations and pension liabilities.
We recorded a net pre-tax loss of $181 ($160 after-tax) in 2014 related to the agreement to sell, reflecting the write-
down of the carrying value of the ITO disposal group, inclusive of goodwill, to its estimated fair value less costs to
sell. We recorded an additional net pre-tax loss of $101 in 2015, primarily at closing, related to an adjustment of the
sales price and related expenses associated with the disposal, as well as reserves for certain obligations and
indemnifications we retained as part of the final closing negotiations. In addition, we recorded additional tax
expense of $44 in 2015 primarily related to the difference between the book basis and tax basis of allocated
goodwill, which could only be recorded upon final disposal of the business.

Xerox Research Centre Europe in Grenoble
In August 2017, we completed the sale of the Xerox Research Centre Europe in Grenoble, France to Naver
Corporation (Naver). The selling price was approximately $23 and included a license agreement and the transfer of
liabilities. The net assets and expenses of the sale were approximately $10, including approximately $6 of Goodwill,
resulting in a pre-tax gain of $13 ($4 after-tax), which is included in Other expenses, net in the Consolidated
Statements of Income (Loss) for the year ended December 31, 2017. The sale included the transfer of
approximately 80 researchers and administrative staff who became part of Naver.

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 principally
on the basis of past collection experience as well as consideration of current economic conditions and changes in
our customer collection trends.
Accounts Receivable Sales Arrangements
Accounts receivable sales arrangements are utilized in the normal course of business as part of our cash and
liquidity management. Prior to the fourth quarter 2017, we had facilities in the U.S., Canada and several countries in
Europe that enabled us to sell certain accounts receivable, without recourse, to third-parties. The accounts
receivable sold were generally short-term trade receivables with payment due dates of less than 60 days. In
connection with the efforts of our Strategic Transformation Program to reduce costs and simplify our business
processes, during the fourth quarter 2017 we terminated all accounts receivable sales arrangements in North
America and all but one arrangement in Europe, which resulted in a one-time reduction in our operating cash flows.
The remaining accounts receivable sales facility in Europe enables us to sell receivables associated with our
distributor network on an ongoing basis without recourse. Under this remaining 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.
In the sales arrangements terminated in the fourth quarter 2017, a portion of the sales proceeds was normally held
back by the purchaser and payment was deferred until collection of the related sold receivables. Our risk of loss
following the sales of accounts receivable under these programs was limited to the outstanding amount deferred.
These balances were included in Other current assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and the
balance at December 31, 2016 was $48. Due to the termination of these programs in the fourth quarter 2017, there
is no remaining balance deferred at December 31, 2017. We reported the collections on these balances as
operating cash flows in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows because they were the result of an operating
activity and the associated interest rate risk was considered de minimis due to their short-term nature.
Of the accounts receivable sold and derecognized from our balance sheet, $161 and $531 remained uncollected as
of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Accounts receivable sales activity was as follows:

Finance Receivables - Allowance for Credit Losses and Credit Quality
Our finance receivable portfolios are primarily in the U.S., Canada and Europe. 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 accounts and provision for credit losses represents an estimate of the losses expected
to be incurred from the Company's finance receivable portfolio. The level of the allowance is determined on a
collective basis by applying projected loss rates to our different portfolios by country, which represent our portfolio
segments. This is the level at which we develop and document our methodology to determine the allowance for
credit losses. This loss rate is primarily based upon historical loss experience adjusted for judgments about the
probable effects of relevant observable data including current economic conditions as well as delinquency trends,
resolution rates, the aging of receivables, credit quality indicators and the financial health of specific customer
classes or groups. The allowance for doubtful finance receivables is inherently more difficult to estimate than the
allowance for trade accounts receivable because the underlying lease portfolio has an average maturity, at any
time, of approximately two to three years and contains past due billed amounts, as well as unbilled amounts. We
consider all available information in our quarterly assessments of the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful
accounts. The identification of account-specific exposure is not a significant factor in establishing the allowance for
doubtful finance receivables. Our policy and methodology used to establish our allowance for doubtful accounts
has been consistently applied over all periods presented.
Since our allowance for doubtful finance receivables is determined by country, the risk characteristics in our
finance receivable portfolio segments will generally be consistent with the risk factors associated with the
economies of those countries/regions. Loss rates in the U.S. remained steady and did not change significantly
during 2017 and 2016. Since Europe is comprised of various countries and regional economies, the risk profile
within our European portfolio segment is somewhat more diversified due to the varying economic conditions
among and within the countries. Charge-offs in Europe were $11 in 2017 as compared to $15 in 2016, reflecting
continued stabilization of Europe from the credit issues that began back in 2011.
The following table is a rollforward of the allowance for doubtful finance receivables as well as the related investment

In the U.S. and Canada, customers are further evaluated or segregated by class based on industry sector. The
primary customer classes are Finance & Other Services, Government & Education, Graphic Arts, Industrial,
Healthcare and Other. In Europe, customers are further grouped by class based on the country or region of the
customer. The primary customer classes include the U.K./Ireland, France and the following European regions -
Central, Nordic and Southern. These groupings or classes are used to understand the nature and extent of our
exposure to credit risk arising from finance receivables.
We evaluate our customers based on the following credit quality indicators:
•
Investment grade: This rating includes accounts with excellent to good business credit, asset quality and
capacity to meet financial obligations. These customers are less susceptible to adverse effects due to shifts in
economic conditions or changes in circumstance. The rating generally equates to a Standard & Poors (S&P)
rating of BBB- or better. Loss rates in this category are normally less than 1%.
• Non-investment grade: This rating includes accounts with average credit risk that are more susceptible to
loss in the event of adverse business or economic conditions. This rating generally equates to a BB S&P
rating. Although we experience higher loss rates associated with this customer class, we believe the risk is
somewhat mitigated by the fact that our leases are fairly well dispersed across a large and diverse customer
base. In addition, the higher loss rates are largely offset by the higher rates of return we obtain with such
leases. Loss rates in this category are generally in the range of 2% to 5%.
• Substandard: 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 investment and non-investment grade
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 are generally in the range of 7% to 10%.
Credit quality indicators are updated at least annually, and the credit quality of any given customer can change
during the life of the portfolio. Details about our finance receivables portfolio based on industry and credit quality
indicators are as follows:

The aging of our receivables portfolio is based upon the number of days an invoice is past due. Receivables that
are more than 90 days past due are considered delinquent. Receivable losses are charged against the allowance
when management believes the uncollectibility of the receivable is confirmed and is generally based on individual
credit evaluations, results of collection efforts and specific circumstances of the customer. Subsequent recoveries,
if any, are credited to the allowance.
We generally continue to maintain equipment on lease and provide services to customers that have invoices for
finance receivables that are 90 days or more past due and, as a result of the bundled nature of billings, we also
continue to accrue interest on those receivables. However, interest revenue for such billings is only recognized if
collectability is deemed reasonably assured. The aging of our billed finance receivables is as follows:

Sale of Finance Receivables
In 2013 and 2012, we transferred our entire interest in certain groups of lease finance receivables to third-party
entities for cash proceeds and beneficial interests. The transfers were accounted for as sales with derecognition of
the associated lease receivables. There have been no transfers or sales of finance receivables since 2013. W
continued to service the sold receivables and record servicing fee income over the expected life of the associated
receivables. The following is a summary of our prior sales activity:

The principal value of the finance receivables derecognized from our balance sheet associated with these sales
was $76 at December 31, 2016. During 2017, we exercised the various clean-up calls we, as the servicer, held on
the sold receivables and, accordingly, repurchased the remaining balances of the previously derecognized
receivables and terminated the programs. The amounts repurchased were not material.
The ultimate purchaser of the transferred receivables had no recourse to our other assets for the failure of
customers to pay principal and interest when due beyond our beneficial interests, which were $24 at December 31,
2016 and were included in Other current assets and Other long-term assets in the accompanying Consolidated
Balance Sheets. Due to the repurchase of receivables during 2017, there is no remaining balance of beneficial
interests at December 31, 2017. We reported collections on the beneficial interests as operating cash flows in the
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows because such beneficial interests were the result of an operating activity
and the associated interest rate risk was deemed de minimis considering the weighted average life of the sold
receivables was less than two years.

Fuji Xerox is headquartered in Tokyo and operates in Japan, China, Australia, New Zealand, Vietnam and other
areas of the Pacific Rim. Our investment in Fuji Xerox of $1,366 at December 31, 2017, differs from our implied
25% interest in the underlying net assets, or $1,455, due primarily to our deferral of gains resulting from sales of
assets by us to Fuji Xerox.
Equity in net income of Fuji Xerox is affected by certain adjustments to reflect the deferral of profit associated
intercompany sales. These adjustments may result in recorded equity income that is different from that implied
25% ownership interest.

Note 12 – Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges
In 2016, in conjunction with our announcement of the planned Separation of the Company, we initiated a three
Strategic Transformation program to accelerate our cost productivity initiatives. The program is expected to deliver
productivity gains and cost savings in areas such as delivery, remote connectivity, sales productivity, pricing, design
efficiency and supply chain optimization.
-year
The program is expected to include restructuring charges related to downsizing our employee base, exiting certain
activities, outsourcing certain internal functions and engaging in other actions designed to reduce our cost structure
and improve productivity. In addition, we expect to incur asset impairment charges in connection with these
restructuring actions for those assets that are sold, abandoned or made obsolete as a result of initiatives under the
program. Beginning in 2016, all restructuring costs incurred were the result of actions and initiatives associated with
the Strategic Transformation program.
Costs associated with restructuring, including employee severance and lease termination costs, are generally
recognized when it has been determined that a liability has been incurred, which is generally upon communication
to the affected employees or exit from the leased facility, respectively. In those geographies where we have either a
formal severance plan or a history of consistently providing severance benefits representing a substantive plan, we
recognize employee severance costs when they are both probable and reasonably estimable.
A summary of our restructuring program activity during the three years ended December 31, 2017 is as follows:

Restricted Cash
As more fully discussed in Note 19 - Contingencies and Litigation, various litigation matters in Brazil require us to
make cash deposits to escrow as a condition of continuing the litigation. In addition, as more fully discussed in Note
6 - Accounts Receivable, Net and Note 7 - Finance Receivables, Net, we continue to service the receivables sold
under most of our receivable sale agreements. As servicer, we may collect cash related to sold receivables prior to
year-end that will be remitted to the purchaser the following year. Since we are acting on behalf of the purchaser in
our capacity as servicer, such cash collected is reported as restricted cash. Restricted cash amounts are classified
in our Consolidated Balance Sheets based on when the cash will be contractually or judicially released.
Restricted cash amounts were as follows:
Tax and labor litigation deposits in Brazil
Escrow and cash collections related to receivable sales
Other restricted cash

In December 2017, we received $127 representing the final payment on the performance-based instrument we
received from our 1997 sale of The Resolution Group (TRG). The final payment was reported as Other investing
cash flows in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The remaining liabilities associated with our
discontinued operations of $13, were reclassified to Other Current and Long-Term Liabilities. The funds received
from this instrument were partially used to fund an additional contribution of approximately $105 (GBP 80 million) to
our U.K. Pension Plan for salaried employees. The contribution was accordingly reported in operating cash flows in
the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

In January 2017, as provided for in the Separation Agreement, we received a distribution from Conduent of $161
representing the final adjustment required to set Conduent's cash balance at $225 as of the Separation. The cash
receipt was reported in Other financing, net cash flows in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as it
represented an adjustment to our Distribution of Conduent. The income tax payable represented the final
adjustment for income tax payments between the two companies for their consolidated 2016 tax returns, which
were the last returns filed on a consolidated basis. The tax sharing between the two companies was based on a
separate return basis, as if Conduent filed a separate tax return. The balance due to Conduent was substantially
settled in 2017 and included in income tax payments for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Senior Notes
In September 2017, we issued $1.0 billion of 3.625% Senior Notes due March 2023 (the "2023 Senior Notes") at
99.920% of par resulting in aggregate net proceeds of approximately $992. Interest on these Senior Notes is
payable semi-annually. Debt issuance costs of approximately $8 were paid and deferred in connection with the
issuance and will be amortized over the term of the Senior Notes. The debt proceeds were used for general
corporate purposes, which included a voluntary cash contribution of $500 to our U.S. defined benefit pension plans
as well as the early redemption of certain debt.
In October 2017, we completed the early redemption of $475 of the remaining $740 of 6.35% Senior Notes due May
2018. The redemption resulted in a net loss of $7 being recorded in the fourth quarter 2017.
Refer to Note 17 - Employee Benefit Plans for further information regarding the voluntary contribution made to our
U.S. defined benefit pension plans.
Credit Facility
In August 2017, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement that included a reduction in the size
of our unsecured revolving Credit Facility from $2.0 billion to $1.8 billion and an extension in the maturity date from
March 2019 to August 2022. The amended and restated Credit Facility also included a reduction in the letter of
credit sub-facility from $300 to $250. The accordion feature of our previous $2.0 billion Credit Facility, which allowed
us to increase (from time to time, with willing lenders) the overall size of the facility by $750, was retained. W
have the right to request a one year extension on any anniversary of the amendment date.
e also
We deferred $5 of debt issuance costs in connection with this amendment, which includes approximately $2
unamortized deferred debt issuance costs associated with the existing Credit Facility. The write-off of debt issuance
costs associated with lenders who reduced their participation in the amended and restated Credit Facility were not
material. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, we had no outstanding borrowings or letters of credit under the
amended and restated Credit Facility.
of
The amended and restated $1.8 billion Credit Agreement also includes revisions to pricing as well as certain
financial covenants as follows:
Borrowings under the amended and restated Credit Facility bear interest at our choice, at either (a) a Base Rate as
defined in the new Credit Facility agreement, plus a spread that varies between 0.000% and 0.700% depending on
our credit rating at the time of borrowing, or (b) LIBOR plus an all-in spread that varies between 1.000% and
1.700% depending on our credit rating at the time of borrowing. Based on our credit rating as of December 31,
2017, the applicable all-in spreads for the Base Rate and LIBOR borrowing were 0.175% and 1.175%, respectively
.
An annual facility fee is payable to each lender in the amended and restated Credit Facility at a rate that varies
between 0.125% and 0.300% depending on our credit rating. Based on our credit rating as of December 31, 2017
the applicable rate is 0.200%.
The amended and restated Credit Facility contains various conditions to borrowing and affirmative, negative and
financial maintenance covenants. Certain of the more significant covenants are summarized below:
(a) Maximum leverage ratio (a quarterly test that is calculated as principal debt divided by consolidated EBITDA,
both as defined in the amended and restated Credit Facility) of 4.25x.
(b) Minimum interest coverage ratio (a quarterly test that is calculated as consolidated EBITDA divided by
consolidated interest expense, both as defined in the amended and restated Credit Facility) may not be less
than 3.00x.
(c) Limitations on (i) liens securing debt, (ii) mergers, consolidations and liquidations, (iii) limitations on debt
incurred by certain subsidiaries, (iv) sale of all or substantially all our assets, (v) payment restrictions affecting
subsidiaries, (vi) non-arm's length transactions with affiliates, (vii) change in nature of business, (viii) actions
that may violate OFAC and anti-corruption laws.
The amended and restated Credit Facility contains various events of default that are substantially similar to those
included in the $2.0 billion Credit Facility, the occurrence of which could result in termination of the lenders'
commitments to lend and the acceleration of all our obligations under the amended and restated Credit Facility
These events of default include, without limitation: (i) payment defaults, (ii) breaches of covenants under the
amended and restated Credit Facility (certain of which breaches do not have any grace period), (iii) cross-defaults
and acceleration to certain of our other obligations and (iv) a change of control of Xerox.
On February 15, 2018, we entered into an Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement, which among other things,
modifies the “change of control” provisions of the Credit Agreement to permit the consummation of the Fujifilm
Transactions. See Note 24 - Subsequent Event for additional information regarding the Fujifilm Transactions.

Debt Exchange
In March 2017, we completed a private offering to exchange portions of certain outstanding Senior Notes due 2018
through 2020 (collectively, the old notes), listed below, for $300 of new Senior Notes due 2022 and $322 in cash
consideration, which includes a $22 exchange premium.
The following principal amounts of each series of old notes were validly tendered and subsequently cancelled:

The new Senior Notes bear a fixed coupon rate of 4.07% and become due in March 2022. There were no other
significant changes to the terms between the old and new Senior Notes. We recorded a loss of approximately $9
for the exchange premium and other carrying value adjustments related to the portion of the old notes exchanged
for cash. However, the old notes exchanged for the new Senior Notes were accounted for as a debt modification
and therefore approximately $9 related to the exchange premium and other carrying value adjustments for that
portion was carried over as an adjustment to the carrying value of new Senior Notes and is expected to be accreted
over the term of the new Senior Notes. Transaction costs incurred on the exchange and paid to third parties of $4
were expensed as part of the loss.
Commercial Paper
We have a private placement commercial paper (CP) program in the U.S. under which we may issue CP up to a
maximum amount of $2.0 billion outstanding at any time. Aggregate CP and Credit Facility borrowings may not
exceed $1.8 billion outstanding at any time. The maturities of the CP Notes will vary, but may not exceed 390 days
from the date of issue. The CP Notes are sold at a discount from par or, alternatively, sold at par and bear interest at
market rates. We had no CP outstanding at December 31, 2017 and 2016.
Interest
Interest paid on our short-term and long-term debt amounted to $268, $352 and $365 for the years ended
December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Note 15 – Financial Instruments
We are exposed to market risk from changes in 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. These derivative financial instruments are utilized 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, foreign currency spot, forward and swap contracts and net
purchased foreign currency options to manage interest rate and foreign currency exposures. Our primary foreign
currency market exposures include the Japanese Yen, Euro and U.K. Pound Sterling. The fair market values of all
our derivative contracts change with fluctuations in interest rates and/or currency exchange rates and are designed
so that any changes in their values are offset by changes in the values of the underlying exposures. Derivative
financial instruments are held solely as risk management tools and not for trading or speculative purposes. The
related cash flow impacts of all of our derivative activities are reflected as cash flows from operating activities.
We do not believe there is significant risk of loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparties associated
with our derivative instruments because these transactions are executed with a diversified group of major financial
institutions. Further, our policy is to deal only with counterparties having a minimum investment grade or better credit
rating. Credit risk is managed through the continuous monitoring of exposures to such counterparties.
Interest Rate Risk Management
We use interest rate swap 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.
Terminated Swaps
During the period from 2004 to 2011, we early terminated several interest rate swaps that were designated as fair
value hedges of certain debt instruments. The associated net fair value adjustments to the debt instruments are
being amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the related notes. In 2017, 2016 and 2015, the
amortization of these fair value adjustments reduced interest expense by $13, $19 and $22, respectively, and we
expect to record a net decrease in interest expense of $4 in future years through 2022.
Fair Value Hedges
As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, pay variable/received fixed interest rate swaps with notional amounts of $300
and $300, respectively, and net asset fair value of $1 and $4, respectively, were designated and accounted for as fair
value hedges. The swaps were structured to hedge the fair value of related debt by converting them from fixed rate
instruments to variable rate instruments. No ineffective portion was recorded to earnings during 2017 or 2016.
The following is a summary of our fair value hedges at December 31, 2017:

Foreign Exchange Risk Management
We are a global company, 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 December 31, 2017, we had outstanding forward exchange and purchased option contracts with gross notional
values of $1,788, with terms of less than 12 months. Approximately 85% of these contracts at December 31, 2017
mature within three months, 8% in three to six months and 7% 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-

Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) for these designated cash flow hedges and all components of each
derivative’s gain or loss was included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness. The net liability fair value of these
contracts were $14 and $20 as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

No amount of ineffectiveness was recorded in the 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. In addition, no amount was recorded for an underlying exposure that did not occur or was not
expected to occur.
As of December 31, 2017, net after-tax losses of $12 were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss
associated with our cash flow hedging activity. The entire balance is expected to be reclassified into net income
within the next 12 months, providing an offsetting economic impact against the underlying anticipated transactions.
Non-Designated Derivative Instruments Gains (Losses)
Non-designated derivative instruments are primarily instruments used to hedge foreign currency-denominated assets
and liabilities. They are not designated as hedges since there is a natural offset for the re-measurement of the
underlying foreign currency-denominated asset or liability.

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 and Long-term debt was estimated based on
the current rates offered to us for debt of similar maturities (Level 2). The difference between the fair value and the
carrying value represents the theoretical net premium or discount we would pay or receive to retire all debt at such
date.
Note 17 – Employee Benefit Plans
We sponsor numerous defined benefit and defined contribution pension and other post-retirement benefit plans,
primarily retiree health care, in our domestic and international operations. December 31 is the measurement date
for all of our post-retirement benefit plans.
Over the past several years, where legally possible, we have amended our major defined benefit pension plans to
freeze current benefits and eliminate benefits accruals for future service, including our primary U.S. defined benefit
plan for salaried employees, the Canadian Salary Pension Plan and the U.K. Final Salary Pension Plan. The freeze
of current benefits is the primary driver of the reduction in pension service costs since 2012. In certain Non-U.S.
plans we are required to continue to consider salary increases and inflation in determining the benefit obligation
related to prior service. The Netherlands defined benefit pension plan has also been amended to reflect the
Company's ability to reduce the indexation of future pension benefits within the plan in scenarios when the returns
on plan assets are insufficient to cover that indexation.

Prior to the freeze of current benefits, most of our defined benefit pension plans generally provided employees a
benefit, depending on eligibility, calculated under a highest average pay and years of service formula. Our primary
domestic defined benefit pension plans provided a benefit at the greater of (i) the highest average pay and years of
service formula, (ii) the benefit calculated under a formula that provides for the accumulation of salary and interest
credits during an employee's work life or (iii) the individual account balance from the Company's prior defined
contribution plan (Transitional Retirement Account or TRA).
Pension plan assets consist of both defined benefit plan assets and assets legally restricted to the TRA accounts.
The combined investment results for these plans, along with the results for our other defined benefit plans, are
shown below in the “actual return on plan assets” caption. To the extent that investment results relate to TRA, such
results are charged directly to these accounts as a component of interest cost.

Interest cost for Pension Benefits includes interest expense on non-TRA obligations of $257, $296 and $311 and interest expense (income)
directly allocated to TRA participant accounts of $127, $83 and $(25) for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively
.
(2) Expected return on plan assets includes expected investment income on non-TRA assets of $321, $356 and $388 and actual investment
income (loss) on TRA assets of $127, $83 and $(25) for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
The net actuarial loss and prior service credit for the defined benefit pension plans that will be amortized from
Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income into net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year are $(83)
and $6, respectively, excluding amounts that may be recognized through settlement losses. The prior service credit
for the retiree health benefit plans that will be amortized from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into
net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year is $3 and no amount is expected to be amortized for net actuarial
loss.
Plan Amendments
Retiree-Health Plan
In 2015, we amended our U.S. Retiree Health Plan to eliminate future benefit accruals for active salaried employees
effective December 31, 2015. There was no change in benefits for union employees or existing retirees or
employees that retired before December 31, 2015. As a result of this plan amendment, we recognized a pre-tax
curtailment gain of $22 in 2015. The gain represented the recognition of deferred gains from other prior-year
amendments (“prior service credits”) as a result of the discontinuation of the future benefit or service accrual period
for active salaried employees.

Level 3 Valuation Method
Our primary Level 3 assets are Real Estate and Private Equity/Venture Capital investments. The fair value of our
V
real estate investment funds are based on the Net Asset Value (NAV) of our ownership interest in the funds. NA
information is received from the investment advisers and is primarily derived from third-party real estate appraisals
for the properties owned. The fair value for our private equity/venture capital partnership investments are based on
our share of the estimated fair values of the underlying investments held by these partnerships as reported (or
expected to be reported) in their audited financial statements. The valuation techniques and inputs for our Level 3
assets have been consistently applied for all periods presented.

We employ a total return investment approach whereby a mix of equities and fixed income investments are used to
maximize the long-term return of plan assets for a prudent level of risk. The intent of this strategy is to minimize plan
expenses by exceeding the interest growth in long-term plan liabilities. Risk tolerance is established through careful
consideration of plan liabilities, plan funded status and corporate financial condition. This consideration involves the
use of long-term measures that address both return and risk. The investment portfolio contains a diversified blend of
equity and fixed income investments. Furthermore, equity investments are diversified across U.S. and non-U.S.
,
stocks, as well as growth, value and small and large capitalizations. Other assets such as real estate, private equity
and hedge funds are used to improve portfolio diversification. Derivatives may be used to hedge market exposure in
an efficient and timely manner; however, derivatives may not be used to leverage the portfolio beyond the market
value of the underlying investments. Investment risks and returns are measured and monitored on an ongoing basis
through annual liability measurements and quarterly investment portfolio reviews.

Expected Long-term Rate of Return
We employ a “building block” approach in determining the long-term rate of return for plan assets. Historical
markets are studied and long-term relationships between equities and fixed income are assessed. Current market
factors such as inflation and interest rates are evaluated before long-term capital market assumptions are
determined. The long-term portfolio return is established giving consideration to investment diversification and
rebalancing. Peer data and historical returns are reviewed periodically to assess reasonableness and
appropriateness.

The 2017 U.S. pension plan contributions of $675 include $650 contributed to our domestic tax-qualified defined
benefit plans, which was comprised of $15 to meet the minimum funding requirements and $635 of additional
voluntary contributions. The original estimate of 2017 voluntary contributions to our U.S. pension plans of $135 was

Unrecognized Tax Benefits and Audit Resolutions
We recognize tax liabilities when, despite our belief that our tax return positions are supportable, we believe that
certain positions may not be fully sustained upon review by tax authorities. Each period, we assess uncertain tax
positions for recognition, measurement and effective settlement. Benefits from uncertain tax positions are measured
at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement - the more-
likely-than-not recognition threshold. Where we have determined that our tax return filing position does not satisfy
the more likely than not recognition threshold, we have recorded no tax benefits.
We are also subject to ongoing tax examinations in numerous jurisdictions due to the extensive geographical scope
of our operations. Our ongoing assessments of the more-likely-than-not outcomes of the examinations and related
tax positions require judgment and can increase or decrease our effective tax rate, as well as impact our operating
results. The specific timing of when the resolution of each tax position will be reached is uncertain. As of
December 31, 2017, we do not believe that there are any positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total
amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:
Balance at January 1
Additions (Reductions) related to current year
Additions related to prior years positions
Reductions related to prior years positions
Settlements with taxing authorities(1)
Reductions related to lapse of statute of limitations
Currency
Tax Positions assumed in Conduent Separation

(1) Majority of settlements did not result in the utilization of cash.
Included in the balances at December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 are $8, $5 and $9, respectively, of tax positions that
are highly certain of realizability but for which there is uncertainty about the timing or that they may be reduced
through an indirect benefit from other taxing jurisdictions. Because of the impact of deferred tax accounting, other
than for the possible incurrence of interest and penalties, the disallowance of these positions would not affect the
annual effective tax rate.
Within income tax expense, we recognize interest and penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits, as well as
interest received from favorable settlements. We had $5, $10 and $2 accrued for the payment of interest and
penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
In the U.S., we are no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for years before 2012. With respect to
our major foreign jurisdictions, we are no longer subject to tax examinations by tax authorities for years before
2007.
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act")
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted in the U.S. The Tax Act significantly
revises the U.S. corporate income tax system by, among other things, lowering the U.S. statutory corporate income
tax rate from 35% to 21% and implementing a territorial tax system that includes a transition tax on deemed
repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries.
During the fourth quarter 2017, we recorded an estimated non-cash provisional charge of $400 reflecting the impact
associated with the provisions of the Tax Act based on currently available information.
Foreign tax effects: The deemed repatriation tax is based on total post-1986 earnings and profits (E&P) that have
previously been deferred from U.S. income taxes. We recorded a provisional charge for our deemed repatriation tax
of $165. We expect to utilize our existing foreign tax credit carryforwards to settle the estimated deemed repatriation
tax. We have not yet completed our calculation of the total post-1986 foreign E&P for our foreign subsidiaries.
Further, the deemed repatriation tax is based in part on the amount of those earnings held in cash and other
specified assets. This amount may change when we fully develop and finalize the calculations of post-1986 foreign
E&P previously deferred from U.S. income taxes and the amounts held in cash or other specified assets. In
addition, clarifications in the law and further legislative guidance that may be issued could impact this calculation.
Xerox 2017 Annual Report 111
1026325_XRX-2017-10K.pdf 117
4/6/18 11:52 AM
Our estimated charge for the Tax Act also included a provisional charge of approximately $100 for other tax
liabilities and adjustments resulting from our provisional estimate of the actual and anticipated distributions of our
net accumulated foreign E&P. As a consequence of the Tax Act, we now provisionally no longer consider our foreign
earnings indefinitely reinvested. This estimate is subject to refinement based on a final determination of the amount
of our foreign earnings as well as the jurisdictions that will subject these earnings to tax.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities: We remeasured certain deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the new
statutory income tax rate of 25%, inclusive of estimated state taxes. We recorded a provisional amount related to
the remeasurement of our deferred tax balance of $135. However, we are still analyzing certain aspects of the Tax
Act, evaluating the state tax implications, refining our calculations and assessing our position on various available
elections, which could potentially affect the measurement of these balances or potentially give rise to new deferred
tax amounts.
In summary, our estimated provisional charge incorporates assumptions made based on our current interpretation
of the Tax Act as well as currently available information and may change, possibly materially, as we complete our
analysis and receive additional clarification and implementation guidance. Changes in interpretations and
assumptions, as well as actions we may take as a result of the Tax Act may also impact this estimated charge. In
addition, certain tax positions will likely get finalized when we file our 2017 U.S. tax return, which will enable us to
conclude whether any further adjustments are required to our net deferred tax balances in the U.S. as well as to the
liability associated with the deemed repatriation tax. Any adjustments to these provisional amounts will be reported
as a component of Income tax expense in the reporting period in which any such adjustments are determined.
Further, the Company is in the process of analyzing the effects of new taxes due on certain foreign income, such as
GILTI (global intangible low-taxed income), BEAT (base-erosion anti-abuse tax), FDII (foreign-derived intangible
income) and limitations on interest expense deductions (if certain conditions apply) that are effective starting in
2018, and other provisions of the Tax Legislation. The Company has elected to account for GILTI as period costs if
and when incurred pursuant to the exposure draft issued by the FASB in January 2018.
Deferred Income Taxes
As of December 31, 2016, we did not provide any deferred taxes on undistributed earnings of our foreign
subsidiaries and other foreign investments carried at equity since such undistributed earnings were determined to
be indefinitely reinvested and we did not have any plans to initiate an action that would precipitate a deferred tax
impact. During the fourth quarter of 2017, we changed our intent with regard to the net accumulated earnings and
profits of our foreign subsidiaries and other foreign investments carried at equity. The change was prompted by the
Tax Act enacted in December 2017 as discussed above. In connection with this change, we provided an estimate
for the transition tax on the deemed repatriated foreign earnings as well as an estimate for state and foreign taxes
on future distributions of net accumulated foreign earnings and profits.

The deferred tax assets for the respective periods were assessed for recoverability and, where applicable, a
valuation allowance was recorded to reduce the total deferred tax asset to an amount that will, more-likely-than-not,
be realized in the future. The net change in the total valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2017
and 2016 was an increase of $19 and $33, respectively. The valuation allowance relates primarily to certain net
operating loss carryforwards, tax credit carryforwards and deductible temporary differences for which we have
concluded it is more-likely-than-not that these items will not be realized in the ordinary course of operations.
Although realization is not assured, we have concluded that it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax assets,
for which a valuation allowance was determined to be unnecessary, will be realized in the ordinary course of
operations based on the available positive and negative evidence, including scheduling of deferred tax liabilities and
projected income from operating activities. The amount of the net deferred tax assets considered realizable,
however, could be reduced in the near term if actual future income or income tax rates are lower than estimated, or
if there are differences in the timing or amount of future reversals of existing taxable or deductible temporary
differences.
At December 31, 2017, we had tax credit carryforwards of $646 available to offset future income taxes, of which
are available to carryforward indefinitely while the remaining $623 will expire 2018 through 2038 if not utilized. W
also had net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes of $0.8 billion that will expire 2018 through 2038,
if not utilized, and $1.8 billion available to offset future taxable income indefinitely.

Note 19 – Contingencies and Litigation
As more fully discussed below, 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.
Additionally, guarantees, indemnifications and claims arise during the ordinary course of business from relationships
with suppliers, customers and nonconsolidated affiliates, as well as through divestitures and sales of businesses,
when the Company undertakes an obligation to guarantee the performance of others if specified triggering events
occur. Nonperformance under a contract could trigger an obligation of the Company. These potential claims include
actions based upon alleged exposures to products, real estate, intellectual property such as patents, environmental
matters, and other indemnifications. The ultimate effect on future financial results is not subject to reasonable
estimation because considerable uncertainty exists as to the final outcome of these claims. However, while the
ultimate liabilities resulting from such claims may be significant to results of operations in the period recognized,
management does not anticipate they will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial
position or liquidity. As of December 31, 2017, we have accrued our estimate of liability incurred under our
indemnification arrangements and guarantees.
Brazil Tax and Labor Contingencies
Our Brazilian operations are involved in various litigation matters and have received or been the subject of
numerous governmental assessments related to indirect and other taxes, as well as disputes associated with former
employees and contract labor. The tax matters, which comprise a significant portion of the total contingencies,
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.
The labor matters principally relate to claims made by former employees and contract labor for the equivalent
payment of all social security and other related labor benefits, as well as consequential tax claims, as if they were
regular employees. As of December 31, 2017, the total amounts related to the unreserved portion of the tax and
labor contingencies, inclusive of related interest, amounted to approximately $600 with the decrease from the
December 31, 2016 balance of $750, primarily related to closed cases partially offset by interest. With respect to the
unreserved balance of $600, 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 of December 31, 2017 we had $72 of escrow cash deposits for matters we are disputing and additional
letters of credit and surety bonds of $147 and $98, respectively, which include associated indexation. There were no
liens on Brazilian assets as of December 31, 2017. Generally, any escrowed amounts would be refundable and any
liens would be removed to the extent the matters are resolved in our favor. We routinely assess all these matters as
to probability of ultimately incurring a liability against our Brazilian operations and record our best estimate of the
ultimate loss in situations where we assess the likelihood of an ultimate loss as probable.

Litigation Against the Company
York
Transactions to Combine Xerox and Fuji Xerox: In February 2018, five complaints, including four purported
class actions, were filed by Xerox shareholders in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New
in connection with the proposed transactions to combine Xerox and Fuji Xerox. All of the complaints name as
defendants Xerox, its directors, and FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation (“Fujifilm”). The complaint in one of the actions
also names as a defendant Ursula M. Burns, the former Chief Executive Officer of Xerox. The plaintiffs allege,
among other things, that Xerox’s directors breached their fiduciary duties in negotiating, approving, and purportedly
making false and misleading disclosures about the proposed transactions, and that Xerox and/or Fujifilm aided and
abetted those breaches. The complaint in one of the actions further alleges that all defendants engaged in common
law fraud by purportedly failing to disclose information about the joint venture agreements between Xerox and
Fujifilm. The lawsuits seek injunctive relief preventing the proposed transactions, and/or additional disclosures by
Xerox’s directors, various directions to Xerox’s directors, unspecified damages from Xerox’s directors, costs and
attorneys’ fees, as well as other relief. Xerox believes the lawsuits are meritless and will vigorously defend them.
this time, however, it is premature to make any conclusion regarding the probability of incurring material losses in
these litigations. Should developments cause a change in our determination as to an unfavorable outcome, or result
in a final adverse judgment or settlement, there could be a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash
flows and financial position in the period in which such change in determination, judgment, or settlement occurs,
including an inability to close the proposed transactions.

State of Texas v. Xerox Corporation, Xerox State Healthcare, LLC, and ACS State Healthcare, LLC: On May
9, 2014, the State of Texas, via the Texas Office of Attorney General (the “State”), filed a lawsuit in the 53rd Judicial
District Court of Travis County, Texas. The lawsuit alleges that Xerox Corporation, Xerox State Healthcare, LLC and
ACS State Healthcare (collectively “the Defendants”) violated the Texas Medicaid Fraud Prevention Act in the
administration of ACS’s contract with the Texas Department of Health and Human Services (“HHSC”). Xerox
Corporation provided a guaranty of contractual performance with respect to the ACS contract. The State alleges that
the Defendants made false representations of material facts regarding the processes, procedures, implementation
and results regarding the prior authorization of orthodontic claims. The State seeks recovery of actual damages,
two
times the amount of any overpayments made as a result of unlawful acts, civil penalties, pre- and post-judgment
interest and all costs and attorneys’ fees. The State references the amount in controversy as exceeding hundreds of
millions of dollars. The Defendants filed their Answer in June 2014 denying all allegations. In August 2017, the State
of Texas filed a Second Amended Petition, which makes substantially similar allegations and seeks similar remedies
as the original lawsuit. On October 23, 2017, Xerox Corporation filed a Motion for Summary Judgment seeking
judgment in Xerox's favor on all claims against it. The Defendants will continue to vigorously defend themselves in
this matter. This matter is a “Conduent Liability”, as defined in the Separation and Distribution Agreement dated as
of December 31, 2016 between Xerox Corporation and Conduent Incorporated, for which Conduent is required to
indemnify Xerox. Conduent is entitled to direct the defense of this matter.
Oklahoma Firefighters Pension and Retirement System v. Xerox Corporation, Ursula M. Burns, Luca
Maestri, Kathryn A. Mikells, Lynn R. Blodgett, Robert K. Zapfel, David H. Bywater and Mary Scanlon: On
October 21, 2016, the Oklahoma Firefighters Pension and Retirement System (“plaintiff”) filed a purported securities
class action complaint against Xerox Corporation, Ursula Burns, Luca Maestri, Kathryn Mikells, Lynn Blodgett and
Robert Zapfel (collectively, “defendants”) in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of
the plaintiff and certain purchasers or acquirers of Xerox common stock. The complaint alleged that defendants
made false and misleading statements, in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act and
SEC Rule 10b-5, relating to the operations and prospects of Xerox’s Health Enterprise business. Plaintiff sought,
among other things, unspecified monetary damages and attorneys’ fees. Other, similar lawsuits may follow. On
December 28, 2016, the Court entered a stipulated order setting out a schedule for amendment of the complaint
and for defendants’ response to that complaint following the Court’s appointment of lead plaintiff under the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act. On February 28, 2017, the Court issued an opinion and order appointing the
Arkansas Public Employees Retirement System ("APERS") as lead plaintiff. On May 1, 2017, APERS filed an
amended complaint, alleging substantially similar claims and seeking substantially similar relief, but adding David
Bywater and Mary Scanlon as defendants. On June 30, 2017, defendants moved to dismiss the amended
complaint, and the motion was fully briefed on October 13, 2017. Xerox will vigorously defend against this matter
.
this time, it is premature to make any conclusion regarding the probability of incurring material losses in this
litigation. Should developments cause a change in our determination as to an unfavorable outcome, or result in a
final adverse judgment or settlement, there could be a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash
flows and financial position in the period in which such change in determination, judgment, or settlement occurs.

Guarantees, Indemnifications and Warranty Liabilities
Indemnifications Provided as Part of Contracts and Agreements
Acquisitions/Divestitures:
We have indemnified, subject to certain deductibles and limits, the purchasers of businesses or divested assets for
the occurrence of specified events under certain of our divestiture agreements. In addition, we customarily agree to
hold the other party harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations and covenants, including such
matters as adequate title to assets sold, intellectual property rights, specified environmental matters and certain
income taxes arising prior to the date of acquisition. Where appropriate, an obligation for such indemnifications is
recorded as a liability at the time of the acquisition or divestiture. Since the obligated amounts of these types of
indemnifications are often not explicitly stated and/or are contingent on the occurrence of future events, the overall
maximum amount of the obligation under such indemnifications cannot be reasonably estimated. Other than
obligations recorded as liabilities at the time of divestiture, we have not historically made significant payments for
these indemnifications. Additionally, under certain of our acquisition agreements, we have provided for additional
consideration to be paid to the sellers if established financial targets are achieved post-closing. We have recognized
liabilities for these contingent obligations based on an estimate of the fair value of these contingencies at the time of
acquisition. Contingent obligations related to indemnifications arising from our divestitures and contingent
consideration provided for by our acquisitions are not expected to be material to our financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
Other Agreements:
We are also party to the following types of agreements pursuant to which we may be obligated to indemnify the
other party with respect to certain matters:
• Guarantees on behalf of our subsidiaries with respect to real estate leases. These lease guarantees may
remain in effect subsequent to the sale of the subsidiary.
• Agreements to indemnify various service providers, trustees and bank agents from any third-party claims
related to their performance on our behalf, with the exception of claims that result from third-party's own willful
misconduct or gross negligence.
• Guarantees of our performance in certain sales and services contracts to our customers and indirectly the
performance of third parties with whom we have subcontracted for their services. This includes indemnifications
to customers for losses that may be sustained as a result of the use of our equipment at a customer's location.
In each of these circumstances, our payment is conditioned on the other party making a claim pursuant to the
procedures specified in the particular contract and such procedures also typically allow us to challenge the other
party's claims. In the case of lease guarantees, we may contest the liabilities asserted under the lease. Further, our
obligations under these agreements and guarantees may be limited in terms of time and/or amount, and in some
instances, we may have recourse against third parties for certain payments we made.
Patent Indemnifications
In most sales transactions to resellers of our products, we indemnify against possible claims of patent infringement
caused by our products or solutions. In addition, we indemnify certain software providers against claims that may
arise as a result of our use or our subsidiaries', customers' or resellers' use of their software in our products and
solutions. These indemnities usually do not include limits on the claims, provided the claim is made pursuant to the
procedures required in the sales contract.
Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Our corporate by-laws require that, except to the extent expressly prohibited by law, we must indemnify Xerox
Corporation's officers and directors against judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement, including
legal fees and all appeals, incurred in connection with civil or criminal action or proceedings, as it relates to their
services to Xerox Corporation and our subsidiaries. Although the by-laws provide no limit on the amount of
indemnification, we may have recourse against our insurance carriers for certain payments made by us. However,
certain indemnification payments (such as those related to "clawback" provisions in certain compensation
arrangements) may not be covered under our directors' and officers' insurance coverage. We also indemnify certain
fiduciaries of our employee benefit plans for liabilities incurred in their service as fiduciary whether or not they are
officers of the Company. Finally, in connection with our acquisition of businesses, we may become contractually
obligated to indemnify certain former and current directors, officers and employees of those businesses in
accordance with pre-acquisition by-laws and/or indemnification agreements and/or applicable state law.

Product Warranty Liabilities
In connection with our normal sales of equipment, including those under sales-type leases, we generally do not
issue product warranties. Our arrangements typically involve a separate full service maintenance agreement with
the customer. The agreements generally extend over a period equivalent to the lease term or the expected useful
life of the equipment under a cash sale. The service agreements involve the payment of fees in return for our
performance of repairs and maintenance. As a consequence, we do not have any significant product warranty
obligations, including any obligations under customer satisfaction programs. In a few circumstances, particularly in
certain cash sales, we may issue a limited product warranty if negotiated by the customer. We also issue warranties
for certain of our entry level products, where full service maintenance agreements are not available. In these
instances, we record warranty obligations at the time of the sale. Aggregate product warranty liability expenses for
the three years ended December 31, 2017 were $15, $15 and $22, respectively. Total product warranty liabilities as
of December 31, 2017 and 2016 were $7 and $8, respectively.
Other Contingencies
We have issued or provided approximately $370 of guarantees as of December 31, 2017 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 tax and labor contingencies; and iii) support certain contracts, primarily with public sector customers, which
require us to provide a surety bond as a guarantee of our performance of contractual obligations.
In general, we would only be liable for the amount of these guarantees in the event we defaulted in performing our
obligations under each contract; the probability of which we believe is remote. We believe that our capacity in the
surety markets as well as under various credit arrangements (including our Credit Facility) is sufficient to allow us to
respond to future requests for proposals that require such credit support.
Note 20 - Preferred Stock
Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock
We have issued 180,000 shares of Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, that have an aggregate
liquidation value of $180 and a carrying value of $214. The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock pays quarterly
cash dividends at a rate of 8% per year ($14 per year). Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible at any time, at
the option of the holder, into 37.4532 shares of common stock for a total of 6,742 thousand shares (reflecting an
initial conversion price of approximately $26.70 per share of common stock), subject to customary anti-dilution
adjustments.
If the closing price of our common stock exceeds $39.00 or 146.1% of the initial conversion price of $26.70 per
share of common stock for 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days, we have the right to cause any or all of the Series
B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock to be converted into shares of common stock at the then applicable
conversion rate. The Preferred Stock is also convertible, at the option of the holder, upon a change in control, at the
applicable conversion rate plus an additional number of shares determined by reference to the price paid for our
common stock upon such change in control. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain fundamental change
events, including a change in control or the delisting of Xerox's common stock, the holder of convertible preferred
stock has the right to require us to redeem any or all of the convertible preferred stock in cash at a redemption price
per share equal to the liquidation preference and any accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the
redemption date. The convertible preferred stock is classified as temporary equity (i.e., apart from permanent
equity) as a result of the contingent redemption feature.
Common stock share prices and amounts noted above related to the conversion of the Series B Convertible
Perpetual Preferred Stock have all been adjusted to reflect the one-for-four reverse stock split previously disclosed
in Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

Note 21 – Shareholders’ Equity
As previously disclosed in Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, a one-
for-four reverse stock split became effective on June 14, 2017 for all authorized, issued and outstanding shares of
Xerox common stock. Accordingly, all share and per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect this reverse stock
split for all prior periods presented.
Preferred Stock
As of December 31, 2017, we had one class of preferred stock outstanding. See Note 20 - Preferred Stock for
further information. We are authorized to issue approximately 22 million shares of cumulative preferred stock, $1.00
par value per share.
Common Stock
We have 437.5 million authorized shares of common stock, $1.00 par value per share. At December 31, 2017, 24
million shares were reserved for issuance under our incentive compensation plans, 12 million shares were reserved
for debt to equity exchanges and approximately 7 million shares were reserved for conversion of the Series B
convertible perpetual preferred stock.
Treasury Stock
We account for the repurchased common stock under the cost method and include such treasury stock as a
component of our common shareholders' equity. Retirement of treasury stock is recorded as a reduction of
Common stock and Additional paid-in capital at the time such retirement is approved by our Board of Directors.
The following provides cumulative information relating to our share repurchase programs from their inception in
October 2005 through December 31, 2017. No shares were repurchased during 2017 or 2016 (shares in

Stock-Based Compensation
We have a long-term incentive plan whereby eligible employees may be granted restricted stock units (RSUs),
performance shares (PSs) and non-qualified stock options. We grant stock-based awards in order to continue to
attract and retain employees and to better align employees' interests with those of our shareholders. Each of these
, 16
awards is subject to settlement with newly issued shares of our common stock. At December 31, 2017 and 2016
million and 10 million shares, respectively, were available for grant of awards.
Stock-based compensation expense was as follows:

Restricted Stock Units: Compensation expense is based upon the grant date market price and is recorded over
the vesting period, which is normally three years from the date of grant, based on management's estimate of the
number of shares expected to vest.
Performance Shares: We grant officers, and selected executives and middle managers, PSs that vest contingent
upon meeting pre-determined cumulative goals for Revenue, Earnings per Share (EPS) and Cash Flow from
Operations, typically over a three-year performance period. If the cumulative three-year actual results exceed the
stated targets, then all plan participants have the potential to earn additional shares of common stock up to a
maximum overachievement of 100% of the original grant.
In 2017, the maximum overachievement that could be earned was changed to 100% (from 25%) for all participants
to align their maximum overachievement with that of the officers and selected executives. Previously that level was
only available to officers and certain senior executives. All PSs entitle the holder to one share of common stock,
payable after a three-year service period and attainment of the stated goals.
Because of the difficulty in setting three-year performance goals that would appropriately take into account the
Separation, PSs granted in 2015 and 2016 vested contingent upon achieving two-year and one-year performance
goals, respectively.
The fair value of PSs is based upon the market price of our stock on the date of the grant. Compensation expense
is recognized over the vesting period, which is normally three years from the date of grant, based on management's
estimate of the number of shares expected to vest. If the stated targets are not met, any recognized compensation
cost would be reversed.
Note: Management’s estimate of the number of shares expected to vest at the time of grant reflects an estimate for
forfeitures based on our historical forfeiture rate to date. Should actual forfeitures differ from management’s
estimate, the activity will be reflected in a subsequent period.

Note 24 – Subsequent Event
Transaction to Combine Xerox and Fuji Xerox
On January 31, 2018, Xerox entered into a Redemption Agreement with FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation, a
Japanese company (“Fujifilm”), and Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd, a Japanese company in which Xerox indirectly holds a
25
percent equity interest and Fujifilm holds the remaining 75 percent equity interest (“Fuji Xerox”) (the “Redemption
75s
Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, (i) Fuji Xerox shall redeem for cash most or all of Fujifilm’
percent equity interest in Fuji Xerox and (ii) Fuji Xerox shall become an indirect majority or wholly owned subsidiary
of Xerox (the “Redemption”). The combined company resulting from the Fujifilm Transactions (as defined below)
shall hereinafter be referred to as “New Fuji Xerox”.
Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Redemption Agreement, Xerox entered into a Share
Subscription Agreement with Fujifilm (the “Subscription Agreement” and together with the Redemption Agreement,
the “Fujifilm Transaction Agreements”), pursuant to which, among other things, (i) Fujifilm shall subscribe for and
purchase from Xerox, and Xerox shall issue to Fujifilm, a number of shares of common capital stock of Xerox (and
after Closing, of New Fuji Xerox, “Common Stock”) representing 50.1 percent of (i) the aggregate number of issued
and outstanding shares of Common Stock (excluding any performance shares issued under the Company’s existing
employee incentive plans) plus (ii) such additional shares of Common Stock that would be issued and outstanding
assuming the exercise of in-the-money options as of 5:00 p.m. New York time two business days prior to closing of
the Fujifilm Transactions (as defined below) (the “Closing”) plus (iii) any shares of Common Stock reserved for issue
relating to restricted stock units outstanding as of the Closing that are fully vested as of 5:00 p.m. New York time
two business days prior to the Closing (collectively, the “Fully Diluted Capital Stock”) of Xerox in exchange for (A)
cash and (B) all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Fuji Xerox not held by Xerox or its wholly owned
subsidiaries and (ii) Xerox shall become a direct, majority owned subsidiary of Fujifilm (the “Issuance” and together
with the Redemption, the “Fujifilm Transactions”). In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement,
at Closing, an aggregate number of shares equal to the “True-Up Shares” (as defined in the Subscription
Agreement) shall be held in escrow and released to Fujifilm as and if necessary for Fujifilm to maintain its
ownership percentage.
In connection with the Fujifilm Transactions, Xerox expects to pay a special pro rata cash dividend to its
shareholders in an amount equal to $2.5 billion in the aggregate (the “Special Dividend”), which is expected to be
financed through the issuance of debt that will be incurred by New Fuji Xerox. Fujifilm will not be a shareholder of
Xerox as of the record date for the Special Dividend and therefore will not receive any payment in respect thereof.
As noted above, immediately following the Closing, Fujifilm is expected to own approximately 50.1 percent of the
Fully Diluted Capital Stock of New Fuji Xerox and Xerox shareholders are expected to own approximately 49.9
percent. Further, pursuant to that certain Shareholders Agreement, to be entered into by Xerox and Fujifilm at
Closing (the “Shareholders Agreement”), the Board of Directors of New Fuji Xerox will have twelve directors, which
will initially be composed of seven individuals designated by Fujifilm and five individuals from among the members
of the Board of Directors of the Company immediately prior to Closing designated by Xerox in consultation with and
subject to reasonable approved by Fujifilm. Accordingly, the Fujifilm Transactions are expected to be accounted for
as a reverse acquisition.
Xerox must pay to Fujifilm a $183 termination fee (the “Termination Fee”) in the event that the Subscription
Agreement is terminated (i) by either party because the applicable shareholder approvals are not obtained if an
alternative acquisition proposal is publicly announced prior to the Xerox shareholder meeting duly called for the
purpose of obtaining the applicable shareholder approvals and Xerox enters into a definitive agreement with respect
to, or otherwise consummates, an alternative acquisition proposal within 12 months after the termination of the
Subscription Agreement; (ii) by Fujifilm (A) in connection with a material and intentional breach by Xerox of its non-
solicitation obligations resulting in a third party making an alternate acquisition proposal that is reasonably likely to
materially interfere with the Fujifilm Transactions or (B) following a change in the recommendation by the Board of
Directors of Xerox; or (iii) by Xerox in order to enter into a definitive agreement with a third party with respect to a
superior proposal, in each case as set forth in, and subject to the conditions of, the Fujifilm Transaction Agreements.
We expect the Fujifilm Transactions, which require Xerox shareholder approval, to close in the second half of 2018
subject to customary regulatory approvals, filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, tax
considerations, and securing any necessary financing. Until the combination is complete, each of Xerox, Fuji Xerox
and Fujifilm will continue to be separate, independent organizations and will operate as usual.
