Fellow Shareholder, 

Since  joining  Xerox  in  May  2018,  we  have  met  with  investors,  customers,  partners  

and  employees  to  discuss  reinventing  Xerox  and  positioning  the  company  for  long-

term, sustainable growth. We consistently heard from our stakeholders that the Xerox 

brand is synonymous with quality and reliability, but that we had work to do around 

leveraging our innovation and transforming our business for sustainable success. 

To  guide  our  transformation,  we  are  embracing  the  era  of  intelligent  work  to  make  

a  better  future.  We  identified  the  following  four  strategic  initiatives  that  unite  

our  employees  to  a  common  purpose  and  enable  you  to  measure  our  success  

and performance.

1 .   O P T I M I Z E   O P E R AT I O N S

In mid-2018, we established Project Own It, an enterprise-wide transformation program designed to create a simpler, more agile 
and effective organization, enhance our focus on our customers and partners, instill a culture of continuous improvement and 
improve  our  financial  results.  We  identified  a  range  of  opportunities  as  part  of  Project  Own  It,  including  rationalizing  our  IT 
infrastructure, consolidating our real estate footprint, unlocking greater productivity in our supplier base and establishing more 
effective shared service centers. We believe Project Own It will not only make Xerox a more productive, efficient and profitable 
organization, it will also enable the Company to reinvest in the business to drive revenue and develop innovation. 

2 .   D R I V E   R E V E N U E

To  improve  our  revenue  trajectory,  we  developed  a  three-year  revenue  roadmap  that  builds  on  our  legacy  of  technology  
and services excellence and focuses on deepening the integration of our software, services and technology to provide a value-
enhancing  end-to-end  solution  for  our  customers.  While  revenue  decreased  in  2018,  which  was  in  line  with  expectations,  
we started to see some progress.

In  our  Core  Markets,  our  Workplace  Solutions  saw  positive  results  from  our  ConnectKey®  products.  We  maintained  our  No.  1 
position in worldwide equipment sales revenue. Within high-end products, we brought the Iridesse™ production press to market 
in  the  first  half  of  2018,  and  its  success  has  enabled  us  to  retain  our  No.  1  market  share  in  production  color  and  expand  our 
customer base, with more than 40 percent of Iridesse™ sales being new business. There is still more opportunity for us to capture 
market share across our core product areas.

Continuing our focus on integration and security, we introduced new software to AltaLink®, our flagship A3 multifunction printer 
family,  to  allow  companies  to  monitor  critical  security  settings  and  automatically  remediate  unauthorized  changes  without 
having to reboot the device. We also became the only Managed Print Services provider to be pre-vetted and approved by the U.S. 
government’s Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP). 

Lastly, we realigned portions of our business to support our revenue roadmap. We created a business unit to focus on driving 
end-to-end  solutions  further  into  our  customer  base.  We  also  transitioned  over  28,000  of  our  small  and  mid-sized  accounts  
to Xerox Business Solutions (XBS)—formerly known as Global Imaging Systems—to better serve those customers at a local level 
and to capitalize on the successful mid-market growth model of XBS.

3 .   R E - E N E R G I Z E   I N N O V AT I O N 

To move into adjacent and new markets that go beyond our Core Markets, we need to innovate and bring new software, services 
and products to market. We are taking a disciplined “startup-like” approach to ideating, developing and bringing new technologies 
to market with speed. 

We have prioritized four areas of innovation: 

D I G I T A L 

P A C K A G I N G 

A N D   P R I N T

3 D   P R I N T I N G   

A N D   D I G I TA L

K N O W L E D G E   

T H E   I N T E R N E T   O F 

W O R K E R S

T H I N G S   ( I oT )

We have designed a “Powered by Xerox®” business model and approach, where we don’t always have to build and own the end 
product in order to benefit commercially from it and to maximize our participation in these markets.

4 .   F O C U S   O N   C A S H   F L O W   A N D   I N C R E A S I N G   C A P I TA L   R E T U R N S

With  a  large  portion  of  revenues  under  multi-year  contractual  arrangements,  low  annual  capital  expenditures  and  ongoing 
productivity initiatives, we have a business model that drives stable gross margins and operating margins as well as strong and 
sustainable cash flow generation. This provides us with a significant source of capital and enables us to be strategic with where 
and how we put our cash to work to maximize our internal rate of return, whether it is reinvestment in our business, acquisitions 
or share repurchases. With our transformation plan, we also have heightened our focus on cash by adding increased executive 
oversight and more direct accountability across the organization, and it is reflected in our results. Everything we do revolves 
around sustaining our strong cash generative business to deliver growing shareholder returns. 

M O M E N T U M   G A I N E D   I N   2 0 1 8   

Guided by our four strategic initiatives, we started to see improvement across several key measures in 2018. We are pleased with 
our early progress, but we know that we have more work to do—and we need to do it with speed—to accelerate our transformation. 
With  the  foundation  we  established  in  2018,  we  have  everything  we  need  to  make  a  better  future—not  only  for  Xerox,  but  
for the world.

Our Business

Xerox is a print technology and intelligent work solutions leader. Our experience and broad customer base gives us a 
unique  perspective  and  understanding  of  the  inner-workings  of  business,  and  our  technology  allows  us  to  add 
intelligence to the development of solutions to connect the physical and digital worlds of work.  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.    Every  day,  our  innovative  technologies  and  intelligent  work 
solutions - Powered by Xerox ® - help people communicate and work better. 

In our core market, we compete with our traditional print technology and related services. This core market is estimated 
at  approximately  $67  billion(1).  Our  primary  offerings  in  this  core  environment  span  three  main  areas:  Intelligent 
Workplace Services (formerly Managed Document Services (MDS)), Workplace Solutions and Production Solutions 
(formerly Graphic Communications). Our Intelligent Workplace 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 
Production Solutions offerings support the work processes of our customers by providing them with solutions built upon 
our broad portfolio of industry-leading printing and workflow offerings.
We also have digital solutions and software assets to compete in an approximately $31 billion(1) adjacent Software 
and Services market. Our main offerings in this market are focused on industry-specific Digital Solutions, Personalization 
&  Communication  Software  and  Content  Management  Software.  Our  Industry  Digital  Solutions  leverage  our 
ConnectKey software platform to enable integration of technology, software and services to securely design and manage 
the digitization and workflow of content for our clients. Our main products in this area are Digital Patient, Digital Insurer, 
Digital Retailer and Digital Citizen. Our Personalization Software and Content Management Software are products 
designed for security, cloud and digital enablement. Our main products in these areas are XMPie and DocuShare. Our 
XMPie offering is a robust personalization and communication software that can support the needs of omni-channel 
communications customers, giving them the bridge between print and digital, which is a critical element for that market.  
Our DocuShare enterprise content management offering provides a better way to manage paper and digital content 
from creation to retention to transformation. Capture, store and share documents either on-premise or by cloud while 
automating time-consuming, document-heavy processes like accounts payable, HR onboarding, contract management 
and mortgage processing.

Our Strategy and Business Model

Our strategy is to maintain overall leadership in our core market and increase our participation in growth areas, while 
expanding into adjacent markets and leveraging our innovation capabilities to enter new markets. We are simplifying 
our operations through Project Own It, an enterprise-wide transformation program, which we believe will create a more 
frictionless business for our clients and enable us to invest in our business while growing our profits. (Refer to the 
Optimize Operations and Establish a Culture of Continuous Improvement section below). We have a strong and 
sustainable cash flow business model that supports both investment in our business as well as direct return of capital 
to shareholders.  

We have outlined the following strategic initiatives for our business:

Optimize Operations and Establish a Culture of Continuous Improvement

In  2018,  we  started  the  design  and  implementation  of  Project  Own  It,  an  enterprise-wide  program  aimed  at  re-
engineering the organization to create a more frictionless and high velocity business for our customers and partners. 
Project Own It targets seven key areas for transformation - Shared Services, Procurement, IT, Delivery, Supply Chain, 
Real Estate and Organization Design.  It seeks to deliver at least $640 million of cost savings in 2019, or $1.5 billion 
in the three-year-period between 2019 and 2021.  We expect that the savings generated from Project Own It will allow 
us to expand our margins while also allowing us to make investments in the business that will help us improve our 
revenue trajectory. This program is managed with strong discipline and accountability and is focused on changing our 
work processes and designing for end-to-end operational efficiency.

Drive Revenue 

We are a leader in our industry and have a strong and valuable global brand. We have a three-year revenue roadmap 
that includes five major strategies to drive revenue improvement, including:  

• 

Improve our core technology business by building on our leadership positions in our core technology and services 
markets. Within the workplace, we plan to leverage our ConnectKey software platform to redefine the multi-function 
device user experience. Within production printing environments, we plan to bring unique and higher value printing 
capabilities to our customers while also lowering the cost of entry into the growing inkjet printing category.

•  Expand our services and software business by building on our leadership in Managed Print Services to deliver 
more intelligent workplace solutions with targeted, industry specific offerings as well as achieve greater penetration 
of our personalization and content management software solutions.

•  Capitalize on the opportunity in SMB by increasing our investments in indirect channels to market as well as our 

Xerox Business Solutions (XBS) operations (formerly Global Imaging Services or GIS).

•  Transform our client's digital experience by building a world-class digital experience and enhancing our e-commerce 

sales platforms.

•  Drive innovation and new growth businesses by increasing focus and investment in our four innovation programs 
(Digital Packaging & Print, AI (Artificial Intelligence) Workflow Assistants for Knowledge Workers, 3D Printing / 
Digital Manufacturing, Sensors & Services for the Internet of Things).

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.

Re-energize Innovation

We believe that a critical role of our research is to identify new competency areas with attractive addressable markets 
for the future. Our expertise in technology and printing also uniquely positions us to discover those areas and leverage 
our  innovation  to  move  into  adjacencies  beyond  our  current  core  technology.  Accordingly,  we  have  prioritized 
investments in four key areas: Digital Packaging and Print, AI Workflow Assistants for Knowledge Workers, 3D Printing / 
Digital Manufacturing, and Sensors and Services for the Internet of Things.  (Refer to the Innovation and Research 
Enabling Growth Beyond our Core Markets section below).  

We also see opportunity in our core coming from our ability to deliver physical devices that connect with the digital 
world as well as purely digital offerings that improve our customers’ outcomes.  As a result, we direct our research and 
development (R&D) investments to areas such as workflow automation, color printing and customized communication, 
as well as to improving the quality and reducing the environmental impact of digital printing. We invest in bringing new 
capabilities to the market such as our ConnectKey™ software to enable our devices to integrate into digital workflows, 
as well as in technologies to improve the security of our devices and offerings such as our recent market leading 
FedRamp authorization for MPS services. We will continue to invest in innovations to improve the reliability, IQ and 
cost of our printing devices, as well as in new services and software that improve our customers’ ability to manage 
their document oriented workflows.  

We expect that our investments in innovation for our core, adjacent and new markets will deliver incremental value 
for our customers and drive profitable revenue growth for our business.

Focus on Cash Flow

Our business is based on a model with a large portion of revenues under multi-year contractual arrangements with 
more than 75 percent of revenues coming from the most profitable post-sale revenue stream.  Additionally, there is 
low annual Capital Expenditures (less than 2 percent of revenues) required to support our business.  These factors 
result in stable gross margins and operating margins as well as strong and stable cash flow generation.  

We will deploy our substantial cash flow to drive shareholder returns through:
•  A commitment to return over 50 percent of our free cash flow (Operating cash flows from continuing operations 
less capital expenditures) to shareholders through a combination of dividends and share repurchases; and

•  Selective pursuit of acquisitions in targeted growth areas.  

We target to manage our core debt (debt excluding financing related debt) to under two times expected free cash flow.   

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 32,400 employees worldwide at December 31, 2018.

Innovation and Research Enabling Growth Beyond Our Core Markets

Xerox has a rich heritage of innovation, which continues to be a strength of the company as well as a competitive 
differentiator. As  we  invest  in  our  core  market  technologies,  we  also  aim  to  create  value  for  our  customers,  our 
shareholders and our employees by driving innovation in new markets beyond our core, where we have differentiated 
capabilities. 

Our research and innovation efforts to grow beyond our core markets can be categorized under four focus areas:

Digital Packaging and Printing - Improve the cost and capability of digital printing for packaging

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 focused on developing new printing technologies to enable us 
to print digitally on a broader range of media and substrates such as foils, cartons, and directly on end-use products, 
which could enable us to compete in growth markets such as digital packaging. 

AI Workflow Assistants - Create intelligent assistants that help knowledge workers in 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. Our goal 
is to deliver artificial intelligence that works collaboratively with knowledge workers to perform document-based and 
physical  workflows  with  greater  efficiency  and  quality.  We  continue  to  invest  in  new  capabilities  to  help  people  in 
collaborative authoring workflows, such as writing proposals and other business documents. And we go beyond that 
to develop innovations to assist in physical workflows, such as machine-servicing, using augmented reality. These 
capabilities leverage our research in image, video and natural language processing, as well as machine learning. The 
application of these methods to business workflows could enable the automation of repetitive tasks, thus allowing 
workers to focus on higher value activities.

3D Printing and Digital Manufacturing - Enable additive manufacturing of high volume production parts through 
new print processes, materials and design software

The current 3D Printing and additive manufacturing offerings in the market have mostly been limited to low volume 
prototyping due to limitations in print process productivity, breadth of materials, and design software. We expect our 
research to lead to technologies that improve the manufacturing productivity, robustness, and designs of 3D-printed 
parts so they can be used in high-volume manufacturing. In addition, our research in 3D design software could enable 
the creation of “better than” parts that go beyond the limits of human design expertise, and are also optimized for 
specific production equipment to enable higher quality and lower cost production.

Sensors and Services for the Internet of Things - Democratize sensing technology by reducing the size and 
cost of sensors to enable new disruptive applications 

The Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming the world, enabling real-time visibility and optimization of physical systems. 
Today, size and cost of sensors, has been a limitation of this technology. One of our key research areas is miniaturizing 
and reducing the cost of sensors through semiconductor and printing technologies. A second major research area 
focuses on video and image processing to make sense of the sensor data, leading to actionable insights. We see 
opportunities to apply these methods to potentially generate new disruptive applications and customer value in areas 
such as healthcare, packaging, logistics and supply chain. 

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 $397 million in 2018, $424 
million in 2017 and $463 million in 2016. Fuji Xerox R&D expenses were $586 million in 2018, $536 million in 2017 
and $628 million in 2016.

Acquisitions and Divestitures

We had no acquisitions or divestitures in 2018.  Further details about our acquisitions and divestitures in prior periods 
can be found in Note 4 - Acquisitions and Note 5 - Divestitures, in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Segment Information

Our business is organized to ensure we focus on efficiently managing our operations and serving the customers and 
markets in which we operate. Since 2017, following the spin-off of Conduent Incorporated, our Business Processing 
Outsourcing business, we continue to maintain 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 structure, we recognize that we have one operating and reportable 
segment - the design, development and sale of printing technology and related solutions.  

As part of our strategy, we also aim to expand into adjacent markets leveraging our industry-specific Digital Solutions, 
Personalization & Communication Software and Content Management Software, however the revenues generated 
and expected from these areas at this point are not material. Accordingly, the section below primarily discusses the 
business  based  on  our  primary  offerings  (Intelligent  Workplace  Services,  Workplace  Solutions  and  Production 
Solutions) that are brought to market through our geographic-based sales channels. 

Revenues

We  have  a  broad  and  diverse  base  of  customers  by  both  geography  and  industry,  ranging  from  SMBs  to  printing 
production (including 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: Intelligent Workplace 
Services, Workplace Solutions and Production Solutions. 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 XBS network integration solutions.

Our Intelligent Workplace Services includes a continuum of solutions and services that helps our customers optimize 
their print and communications infrastructure, ensure the highest levels of security and productivity, and enable their 
digital business objectives. Our primary offerings in this area are Managed Print Services (MPS), a range of Industry 
Digital  Solutions  that  leverage  Workflow  Automation,  Personalization  and  Communication  Software,  Content 
Management Solutions, and Digitization Services. 
• 

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.

•  Our Industry Digital Solutions leverage our ConnectKey software platform to enable integration of technology, 
software and services to securely design and manage the digitization and workflow of content for our clients; our 
main products in this area are Digital Patient, Digital Insurer, Digital Retailer and Digital Citizen. 

•  Our Personalization and Communications Software and our Content Management Solutions are products 
designed for security, cloud and digital enablement. Our main products in this area are XMPie and DocuShare. 
Our XMPie offering is a robust personalization and communication software for omni-channel communications 
customers, giving them the bridge between print and digital, which is a critical element for that market. XMPie 
offers a range of platform-enabled digital services that deliver relevant and timely communications focused on 
customer acquisition, onboarding or retention. Our DocuShare enterprise content management offering provides 
a better way to manage paper and digital content from creation to retention to transformation. Capture, store and 
share documents either on-premise or by cloud while automating time-consuming, document-heavy processes 
like accounts payable, HR onboarding, contract management and mortgage processing. 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 Production 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 
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 
sale,  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 in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Patents, Trademarks and Licenses

In 2018, Xerox and its subsidiaries were awarded 450 U.S. utility patents. Including our research partner Fuji Xerox, 
we were awarded 975 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, 2018, Xerox held approximately 10,307 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 2018, 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 191 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.

Environmental Social Governance (ESG)

At our core is a deep and long-lasting commitment to ESG, a pledge to inspire and support our people, conduct business 
ethically across the value chain and preserve our planet.  This commitment stems from the corporate values established 
over sixty years ago.  

We continue this legacy by turning investments in innovation into products and services that help our customers be 
more  productive,  profitable  and  sustainable.  Driving  efficiency  in  our  business  operations,  smart  investments  in 
technologies that afford our customers added agility-personalization, automation and better workflow-as part of our 
customer-centric approach, will underpin our corporate social responsibility efforts. We do this in our own operations, 
as well as in workplaces, communities and cities around the world. We recognize the world’s challenges such as climate 
change and human rights and understand the role we play. 

We  are  constantly  thinking  about  how  we  can  simplify  work,  deliver  more  personalized  experiences  and  improve 
productivity through new technologies. We strive to connect the physical and digital worlds without adversely affecting 
the environment, human health and safety.

Our pledge to inspire and support our people, conduct business ethically and protect our planet remains at the core 
of everything we do. 

The Xerox 2018 Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Report, available at www.xerox.com, provides an overview of 
our progress for the year 2018 including these achievements: 

• 

• 

100 percent of supplies and consumables returned by customers at end-of-life were diverted from entering landfills. 
Instead, we remanufactured, reused, recycled, or provided the waste to suppliers who converted it into an energy 
source.
100 percent of newly-launched, eligible Xerox products satisfied the Electronic Product Environmental Assessment 
Tool (EPEAT®) and EPA ENERGY STAR® eco-labels.

•  Six percent of our U.S. employee population is military Veterans representation bringing us closer to our goal of 

6.7%.

•  Worldwide Total Recordable Injuries (TRI) rate of our employees dropped by 5.3%.
•  Supplier spend with suppliers representing small Tier I, minority, woman or veteran-owned businesses accounted 

for 9% of our total spend.

•  Employees gave over 91,000 hours of their time for local community involvement.

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, Xerox Business Solutions (XBS), formerly 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 2018 through expanding our network of resellers and partners (including multi-brand dealers) as well as through 
integrating  a  significant  number  of  our  small  and  mid-sized  government,  healthcare,  education  and  graphic 
communication accounts into XBS. This realignment of our SMB business not only creates synergies that will simplify 
our business, but it also gives us the ability to leverage XBS’s high-touch, locally accessible model to provide our 
customers with the best experience.

We restructured the way we serve our customers globally into two units:  the Americas, with Mexico, Central and South 
America joining the U.S. and Canada; and EMEA, which includes Europe, the Middle East, Africa and India. We have 
also implemented a common global delivery model that aims to provide a consistent customer experience worldwide. 
We believe that these changes create a flatter and more effective go-to-market model that will streamline our supply 
chain and provide our customers with best-in-class services.  

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 

Xerox 2018 Annual Report      6

Table of Contents 

2006. Now, Xerox has only legacy obligations to third parties, such as providing spare parts and supplies to these third 
parties. In 2018, total Xerox revenues of $9.8 billion included approximately $8 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 core offering areas. We compete on the basis of technology (including our technologies for security, automation, 
personalization and mobile-ready and cloud-capable devices and solutions), 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 provided 
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, 2018, we had approximately $3.5 billion of finance receivables and $442 million of equipment 
on operating leases, or Total Finance assets of $3.9 billion. We maintain an assumed 7:1 leverage ratio of debt to 
equity as compared to our Finance assets, which results in approximately $3.4 billion of our $5.2 billion of debt being 
allocated to our financing business.

Refer to "Debt and Customer Financing Activities" in the Capital Resources and Liquidity section of Management's 
Discussion and Analysis, included in Item 7 of this 2018 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, as well as key 
components and consumables for our products, such as toner. We also have manufacturing operations in Dundalk, 
Ireland, for components, consumables and printer systems sustainable manufacturing; in Wilsonville, OR, for solid ink 
consumables and components; and in Aubagne, France, for our Production aqueous ink-jet production systems (Rialto 
and Trivor). Other Xerox manufacturing plants are located in Venray, Netherlands; Ontario, Canada; and Oklahoma 
City, OK, where we manufacture materials and components. 

Additionally, we work with various manufacturing and distribution partners, including a 15+ year relationship with FLEX 
LTD (Flex) (formerly Flextronics), a global contract manufacturer. 

We have arrangements with Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd. (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 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. We maintain commercial relationships with Fuji Xerox, including our technology licensing agreements 
which 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. Xerox’s goals include sourcing products, parts and supplies from 
the most competitive suppliers to support the needs of its customers.

International Operations

The  financial  measures,  by  geographical  area  for  2018,  2017  and  2016,  are  included  in  Note  3  -  Segment  and 
Geographic Area Reporting in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. See also the risk factor 
entitled “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” in 
Part I, Item 1A included herein.

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 

You should carefully consider the following risk factors as well as the other information included, and risks described, 
in other sections of this Form 10-K, including under the headings “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking 
Statements”, “Legal Proceedings”, “Selected Financial Data”, and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial 
Condition and Results of Operations” and in our Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes thereto. 

Any of the following risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations. 
The selected risks described below, however, are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not 
currently known to us or those we currently view to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, 
financial condition, or results of operations.

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

We are in the process of addressing many challenges facing our business. 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. 

We may be unable to attract and retain key personnel while our business model undergoes significant changes.

Xerox is undergoing significant changes in our business model and, accordingly, current and prospective employees 
may experience uncertainty about their future. Our success is dependent, among other things, on our ability to attract, 
develop and retain highly qualified senior management and other key employees. Competition for key personnel is 
intense, and our ability to attract and retain key personnel is dependent on a number of factors, including prevailing 
market conditions and compensation packages offered by companies competing for the same talent. The departure 
of existing key employees or the failure of potential key employees to accept employment with Xerox, despite our 
recruiting efforts, could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and operating results.

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.  

Tariffs or other restrictions on foreign imports could negatively impact our financial performance. 

Our business, results of operations and financial condition may be negatively impacted by a potential increase in the 
cost of our products as a result of new or incremental trade protection measures such as, increased import tariffs, 
import or export restrictions and requirements and the revocation or material modification of trade agreements. Changes 
in U.S. and international trade policy and resultant retaliatory countermeasures, including imposition of increased tariffs, 
quotas or duties by affected countries, and trading partners are difficult to predict and may adversely affect our business. 
The  U.S.  government  has  and  could  in  the  future  impose  trade  barriers  including  tariffs,  quotas,  duties  or  other 
restrictions on foreign imports. The implementation of a border tax, tariff or higher customs duties on our products 

Xerox 2018 Annual Report      9

Table of Contents 

manufactured abroad or components that we import into the U.S., or any potential corresponding actions by other 
countries in which we do business, could negatively impact our financial performance.

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 reform in December of 
2017 through the passage and signing of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act"). The Tax 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 2018 and 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 

Xerox 2018 Annual Report      10

Table of Contents 

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.

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. 
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 cost reduction 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 Project Own It, 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 may not achieve some or all of the expected benefits of our restructuring plans and our restructuring may 
adversely affect our business.

We engage in restructuring actions, including Project Own It, as well as other transformation efforts in order to reduce 
our cost structure, realign it to the changing nature of our business and achieve operating efficiencies. In addition, 
these actions are expected to simplify our organizational structure, upgrade our IT infrastructure and redesign business 
processes. We may not be able to obtain the cost savings and benefits that were initially anticipated in connection with 
our restructuring actions. Additionally, as a result of our restructuring initiatives, we may experience a loss of continuity, 
loss of accumulated knowledge and/or inefficiency during transitional periods. Transformation and restructuring may 
require a significant amount of time and focus from both management and other employees, which may divert attention 
from operating and growing our business. If we fail to achieve some or all of the expected benefits of restructuring, it 
could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, business, financial condition, results of operations 
and cash flows. 

As part of our efforts to streamline operations and reduce costs, we have offshored and outsourced certain of our 
operations,  services  and  other  functions  and  we  will  continue  to  evaluate  additional  offshoring  or  outsourcing 
possibilities. If our outsourcing partners or operations fail to perform their obligations in a timely manner or at satisfactory 
quality  levels  or  if  we  are  unable  to  attract  or  retain  sufficient  personnel  with  the  necessary  skill  sets  to  meet  our 

Xerox 2018 Annual Report      11

Table of Contents 

offshoring needs, the quality of our services, products and operations, as well as our reputation, could suffer. Our 
success depends, in part, on our ability to manage these potential issues which could be largely outside of our control. 
In addition, much of our offshoring takes place in developing countries and as a result may also be subject to geopolitical 
uncertainty. Diminished service quality from offshoring and outsourcing could have an adverse material impact to our 
operating results due to service interruptions and negative customer reactions.

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 that came 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. 
Moreover, the risk of such attacks includes attempted breaches 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, such as Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd. 
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 lead to higher prices for our products 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 
printing and the expansion of new printing markets as well as ancillary markets. The process of developing new high-
technology products, software, services and solutions and enhancing existing hardware and software products, services 
and solutions is complex, costly and uncertain, and any failure by us to anticipate customers' changing needs and 
emerging technological trends accurately could significantly harm our market share, results of operations and financial 
condition.  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 as well as electronic delivery, 
and cloud-based computing and software.  These changing market trends are also opening up new ancillary markets 
for our products, services and software. 

A significant part of our strategy and ultimate success in this changing market is our ability to develop and market 
technology that produces products, services and software that meet these changes. We expect that revenue growth 
can be improved through improvements in the software features of our multifunction devices, increases in the color 
printer through expansion to metallic, fluorescent, and clear ink and digital packaging, and leveraging a strong base 
in managed print services with new digital, analytics, security features. Our software strategy involves software for 
integrated solutions and delivery of industry-focused services into an existing customer base.  We also expect to extend 
our presence in the small and medium sized business market through organic and inorganic investments as well as 
further  expansion  into  channels  and  eCommerce  and  invest  in  innovation  including  digital  packaging,  Artificial 
Intelligence, workflow, 3D Printing, and IoT sensors and Services. 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. 
Despite this investment, the process of developing new products or technologies is inherently complex and uncertain 
and there are a number of risks that we are subject to including the risk that our products or technologies will successfully 
satisfy  our  customers’  needs  or  gain  market  acceptance.  If  we  are  unable  to  develop  and  market  advanced  and 
competitive technologies, it may negatively impact our future revenue growth and market share as well as our planned 
expansion into new or alternative markets. Additionally, 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 system. If we are unable to maintain a consistent 
level of revenue, it could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

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 non-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, or find an economic alternative, 
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, 2018 exceeded the value of the assets of those plans by approximately $1.2 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, 2018, 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. Xerox is party to, or otherwise involved in, proceedings brought by U.S. 
or state environmental agencies under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act 

Xerox 2018 Annual Report      14

Table of Contents 

("CERCLA"), known as "Superfund," or state laws. 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 and could be 
prohibited from selling our products in their existing forms, which could have a material adverse effect 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 efforts 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 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 vote by the United Kingdom to leave the EU could adversely affect us.

The June 2016 United Kingdom referendum on its membership in the EU resulted in a majority of United Kingdom 
voters voting to exit the EU (Brexit). We have operations and customers in the United Kingdom and the EU, and as a 
result, we face risks associated with the potential uncertainty and disruptions that may follow Brexit, including with 
respect  to  volatility  in  exchange  rates  and  interest  rates  and  potential  material  changes  to  the  regulatory  regime 
applicable to our operations in the United Kingdom as well as potential for disruptions in our supply chain in the United 
Kingdom. Brexit could adversely affect European or worldwide political, regulatory, economic or market conditions and 
could contribute to instability in global political institutions, regulatory agencies and financial markets. For example, 
depending on the terms of Brexit, the United Kingdom could also lose access to the single EU market and to the global 
trade deals negotiated by the EU on behalf of its members. Disruptions and uncertainty caused by Brexit may also 
cause our customers to closely monitor their costs and reduce their spending budget on our products and services. 
Any of these effects of Brexit, and others we cannot anticipate or that may evolve over time, could adversely affect our 
business, operating results and financial condition.

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 a leased site in 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 2018, 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,  2018  was 
approximately 15 million square feet and comprised of 728 leased properties and 103 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.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of 

Operations

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is intended to help the reader understand the results 
of operations and financial condition of Xerox Corporation. MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read 
in conjunction with, our Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes. Throughout the MD&A, we 
refer to various notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements which appear in Item 8 of this 2018 Form 10-K, and 
the information contained in such notes is incorporated by reference into the MD&A in the places where such references 
are made.

Throughout this document, references to “we,” “our,” the “Company,” and “Xerox” refer to Xerox Corporation and its 
subsidiaries.  References  to  “Xerox  Corporation”  refer  to  the  stand-alone  parent  company  and  do  not  include  its 
subsidiaries.

Executive Overview 

With annual revenues of $9.8 billion we are a leading global provider of digital print technology and related solutions; 
we operate in a core market estimated at approximately $67 billion. Our primary offerings span three main areas: 
Intelligent Workplace Services (formerly Managed Document Services (MDS)), Workplace Solutions and Production 
Solutions (formerly Graphic Communications).  Our Intelligent Workplace 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 Production Solutions offerings support the work processes of our customers by providing them with 
solutions built upon our broad portfolio of industry-leading printing and workflow offerings. We also have digital solutions 
and software assets to compete in an approximately $31 billion adjacent Software and Services market. Our main 
offerings for this market are focused on: industry-specific Digital Solutions, Personalization & Communication Software 
and Content Management Software. 

Headquartered  in  Norwalk,  Connecticut,  with  32,400  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 2018, approximately 40% of our revenue was 
generated outside the United States.

Market and Business Strategy

Our market and business strategy is to maintain overall leadership in our core market and increase our participation 
in the growth areas, while expanding into adjacent markets and leveraging our innovation capabilities to enter new 
markets. To accomplish this, we focus on the following strategic initiatives:
•  Optimize  operations  for  simplicity  -  i)  Simplify  our  operating  model  for  greater  accountability  and  efficiency;  ii) 
Optimize supply chain and heighten supplier competitiveness; and iii) Make it easier for customers and partners 
to do business with Xerox.

•  Drive revenue - i) Service customers via channels that most effectively meet their needs; ii) Enhance capabilities 

to sell higher-value services and integrated solutions; and iii) Expand software and services offerings.

•  Re-energize innovation - i) Capitalize on growing industry trends in AI (Artificial Intelligence), Analytics and IoT 
(Internet of Things); ii) Leverage existing expertise to develop differentiated technology; and iii) Revamp innovation 
business model to focus on monetization.

•  Focus on cash flow and increasing capital returns - i) Maximize cash flow generation; ii) Return at least 50% of 
free cash flow (Operating cash flows from continuing operations less capital expenditures) to shareholders; and 
iii) Focus on Return on Investment (ROI) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR) to make capital allocation decisions.

Post-sale Based Business Model 

In 2018, 78% of our total revenue was post-sale based, which includes managed print 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 and cash flows. Some of the key indicators of future 
post sale revenue include:

• 

Installations and removals 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. 

Xerox 2018 Annual Report      21

Table of Contents 

•  Managed Document Services - i) signings, which reflects the estimated future revenues from contracts, mostly 
from Enterprise deals, signed during the period, 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.

Project Own It 

During the second half of 2018, we initiated a transformation project - "Project Own It" - centered on creating a simpler, 
more agile and effective organization to enhance our focus on our customers and our partners, instill a culture of 
continuous improvement and improve our financial results. The primary goal of this project is to improve productivity 
by driving end-to-end transformation of our processes and systems to create greater focus, speed, accountability and 
effectiveness and to reduce costs. These efforts are considered critical to making us more competitive and giving us 
the capacity to invest in growth and maximize shareholder returns. Key opportunities under Project Own It include 
establishing more effective shared service centers, rationalizing our IT infrastructure, reducing our real estate footprint, 
creating greater velocity in our supply chain and unlocking greater productivity in our supplier base.  This project is 
also evaluating the sourcing of all of our products in an effort to optimize our options. Our approach is to analyze our 
potential options both by product category and holistically to determine what sourcing makes the most strategic and 
economic sense.

We incurred restructuring and related costs of $158 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 primarily related to 
costs incurred to implement initiatives under our business transformation projects including Project Own It. 

Refer to Restructuring and Related Costs section of the MD&A and Note 12 - Restructuring and Asset Impairments 
in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Fuji Xerox Transaction Overview and Termination of Agreement 

On January 31, 2018, Xerox entered into (i) 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% equity 
interest while Fujifilm holds the remaining 75% equity interest (“Fuji Xerox”), and (ii) a Subscription Agreement with 
Fujifilm (collectively, the “Transaction Agreements”). Under the terms of the Transaction Agreements, Fuji Xerox would 
have become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xerox, Xerox shareholders would have received a $2.5 billion special cash 
dividend and Xerox would have become owned 49.9% by Xerox's shareholders as of the closing date for the transaction 
and 50.1% by Fujifilm.  
On May 13, 2018, the Company delivered written notice of termination of the Subscription Agreement to Fujifilm. By 
virtue of the termination of the Subscription Agreement, the Redemption Agreement terminated automatically. The 
Company's termination of the Transaction Agreements is the subject of pending litigation.
The Company continues to maintain existing commercial relationships with Fuji Xerox and Fujifilm, including, as part 
of the following agreements: (i) the Joint Enterprise Contract, between the Company and Fujifilm, dated March 30, 
2001, (ii) the Technology Agreement, dated April 1, 2006, by and between the Company and Fuji Xerox and (iii) the 
Master Program Agreement made and entered into as of September 9, 2013 by and between the Company and Fuji 
Xerox. On June 25, 2018, the Company disclosed to Fujifilm that it does not currently plan to renew the Technology 
Agreement  when  it  expires  in  2021.  Xerox’s  goals  include  sourcing  products,  parts  and  supplies  from  the  most 
competitive suppliers to support the needs of its customers. 

Refer to Note 19 - Contingencies and Litigation for additional information related to Xerox's pending litigation with 
Fujifilm. Refer to Note 25 - Fuji Xerox Transaction in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional 
information regarding this transaction including recent developments.

Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) 

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted. 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 one-time transition tax on deemed repatriated 
earnings of foreign subsidiaries.

Refer to Income Taxes section of the MD&A and Note 18 - Income and Other Taxes in the Consolidated Financial 
Statements for additional information regarding the Tax Act.

Financial Overview

Total revenue of $9.8 billion in 2018 decreased 4.2% from the prior year, including a 0.7-percentage point favorable 
impact from currency. The decrease in revenue reflected a 4.1% decrease in Equipment sales revenue, including a 
0.4-percentage  point  favorable  impact  from  currency  and  a  4.3%  decrease  in  Post  sale  revenue  including  a  0.7-
percentage point favorable impact from currency. The decline in Post sale revenue reflected the continuing lower page 
volumes, an ongoing competitive price environment, a lower population of devices and lower supplies revenues, partially 
offset by higher revenues from our Xerox Business Solutions (XBS - formerly GIS) business, our growing partner print 
services and paper sales. The decline in Equipment sales reflected the impact of lower revenue from High-end systems 
and the impact of lower OEM sales, which were partially offset by higher equipment sales in both Entry and Mid-Range 
driven by our ConnectKey products launched in 2017 as well as from our recently launched Iridesse production press. 

Net income from continuing operations attributable to Xerox was as follows:

The increase in Net income from continuing operations for 2018 as compared to the prior year was primarily related 
to lower income taxes in the current year as compared to 2017. In 2017, the implementation of the Tax Act resulted in 
a charge of $400 million as compared to an $89 million additional charge in 2018. The increase also reflects lower 
non-service retirement-related costs and Restructuring and related costs. These increases were partially offset by 
lower revenues, which were only partially offset by cost savings and productivity improvements associated with our 
business  transformation  actions,  higher  Transaction  and  related  costs,  net  and  lower  Equity  in  net  income  from 
unconsolidated affiliates that included our share of a significant restructuring charge recorded by Fuji Xerox during 
2018. 
The decrease in adjusted1 net income from continuing operations attributable to Xerox for 2018 as compared to the 
prior year was primarily related to lower revenues, which were only partially offset by cost savings and productivity 
improvements associated with our business transformation actions. Adjustments in 2018 include Restructuring and 
related costs, Amortization of intangible assets, Transaction and related costs, net as well as non-service retirement-
related costs and other discrete, unusual or infrequent items.  

Operating cash flow provided by continuing operations was $1,140 million in 2018 as compared to a use of $179 million
in 2017. The increase is primarily due to higher prior year pension contributions of $658 million, which included an 
incremental  $500  million  contribution  to  our  U.S.  defined  benefit  pension  plans  and  an  additional  contribution  of 
approximately $105 million (GBP 80 million) to our U.K. Pension Plan for salaried employees, as well as the one-time 
impact of approximately $350 million from the termination of certain accounts receivable sales programs in the fourth 
quarter of 2017. The  increase also  reflects the prior year reclassification of $234 million of collections of deferred 
proceeds and beneficial interests from the sale of receivables to investing cash flows as a result of an accounting 
change (refer to Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Consolidated 
Financial Statements for additional information), lower restructuring payments and improved working capital2, all of 
which were partially offset by higher payments for Transaction and related costs, net. 

Cash  used  in  investing  activities  of  continuing  operations  was  $29  million  in  2018  reflecting  $90  million  of  capital 
expenditures,  which  were  partially  offset  by  $59  million  from  the  sale  of  non-core  business  assets.  Cash  used  in 
financing activities was $1,301 million in 2018 reflecting $700 million for share repurchases, payments of $265 million 
on Senior Notes, $25 million for a capital lease termination, $19 million of bridge facility costs and dividend payments 
of $269 million.

2019 Outlook

We project total revenues to decline in 2019 by approximately 5%, excluding the impact of currency. At January 2019 
exchange rates, we expect translation currency to have an approximate 1.0-percentage point unfavorable impact on 
total revenues in 2019, reflecting the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against our major foreign currencies as compared 
to prior year. Both reported and adjusted1 earnings are expected to improve reflecting the continued benefits of cost 
reductions and productivity improvements, which are expected to offset the impact of projected decline in revenues. 

Xerox 2018 Annual Report      23

Table of Contents 

We expect 2019 operating cash flows from continuing operations to be between $1.15 and $1.25 billion and capital 
expenditures to be approximately $150 million.  

Our capital allocation plan for 2019 includes the following:
•  Share repurchases – we expect to repurchase at least $300 million.
•  Dividends - expect dividend payments to be approximately $250 million, reflecting the current annualized common 

stock dividend of $1.00 per share.

Economic and Market Factors

Our business, results of operations and financial condition may be negatively impacted by a potential increase in the 
cost of our products as a result of new or incremental trade protection measures such as, increased import tariffs, 
import or export restrictions and requirements and the revocation or material modification of trade agreements.  At this 
stage, we do not anticipate a material impact from the additional China tariffs announced to date on the cost of our 
imported products.  However, we are continuing to assess the impact of potentially new import tariffs on our products 
and we continue to monitor developments in this area and will make efforts to mitigate the impact to the extent possible.

In June 2016, the United Kingdom (U.K.) held a referendum in which voters approved an exit from the European Union 
(E.U.), commonly referred to as “Brexit”, and in March 2017, the U.K. formally started the process to leave the E.U. 
Given  the  lack  of  comparable  precedent,  it  is  unclear  what  financial,  trade,  regulatory  and  legal  implications  the 
withdrawal of the U.K. from the E.U. will have. Brexit creates global political and economic uncertainty, which may 
cause,  among  other  consequences,  volatility  in  exchange  rates  and  interest  rates  and  changes  in  regulations. 
Additionally, there may be potential risks to our supply chain including additional administrative requirements, customs 
delays, and possibly tariffs. We currently do not believe that these and other related effects will have a material impact 
on the Company’s consolidated financial position or operating results. However, we continue to assess the situation 
and expect to take any necessary steps to mitigate the potential volatility, increased costs or disruptions to our supply 
chain that may result from this matter. For the year ended December 31, 2018, revenues and assets in Europe, including 
the U.K., represented approximately 30% of our consolidated revenues and total assets, respectively. 

Currency Impact

To understand the trends in the business, we believe that it is helpful to analyze the impact of changes in the translation 
of foreign currencies into U.S. Dollars on revenue and expenses. We refer to this analysis as "constant currency", 
“currency impact” or “the impact from currency.” This impact is calculated by translating current period activity in local 
currency using the comparable prior year period's currency translation rate. This impact is calculated for all countries 
where the functional currency is the local country currency. We do not hedge the translation effect of revenues or 
expenses denominated in currencies where the local currency is the functional currency. Management believes the 
constant currency measure provides investors an additional perspective on revenue trends. Currency impact can be 
determined as the difference between actual growth rates and constant currency growth rates.

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, foreign currency translation had a 0.7-percentage point 
favorable impact on revenue in 2018 and no impact on revenue in 2017.

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.  On January 1, 2018, we adopted 
ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC Topic 606), which superseded nearly all existing revenue 
recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. Refer to Note 2 - Revenue, in the Consolidated Financial Statements as well 
as Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Revenue Recognition - 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 direct to end customers 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 directly to end customers comprise approximately 35% of our equipment sales revenue. Revenues 
under bundled arrangements are allocated considering the relative standalone 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. 

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 discount, rebate, 
price-support, 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 35% of our total sale 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 $36 
million,  $33  million  and  $37  million  in  Selling,  administrative  and  general  (SAG)  expenses  in  our  Consolidated 
Statements of Income (Loss) for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. 

Although bad debt provisions increased in 2018, the provision was less than the prior three-year average and continues 
to reflect the maintenance of a prudent credit policy. Reserves, as a percentage of trade and finance receivables, were 
3.0%  at  December  31,  2018,  as  compared  to  3.2%  and  3.6%  at  December  31,  2017  and  2016,  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. 

Xerox 2018 Annual Report      25

Table of Contents 

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, 2018, our reserve for doubtful accounts ranged from 3.0% to 3.6% of gross receivables. 
Holding all assumptions constant, a 0.5-percentage point increase or decrease in the reserve from the December 31, 
2018 rate of 3.0% would change the 2018 provision by approximately $24 million.

Refer to Note 6 - Accounts Receivable, 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 benefit 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 $2.4 billion as of December 31, 2018 decreased 
by $350 million from December 31, 2017, primarily due to the recognition of actuarial losses through amortization and 
U.S. settlement losses, currency and higher discount rates at December 31, 2018 as compared to the prior year. The 
total actuarial loss at December 31, 2018 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. 

We used a consolidated weighted average expected rate of return on plan assets of 4.5% for 2018, 5.0% for 2017 and 
5.8% for 2016, on a worldwide basis. During 2018, the actual return on plan assets was a $255 million loss as compared 
to an expected return of $311 million, with the difference largely due to negative equity market returns and the negative 
impact of increasing interest rates on our fixed income investments. When estimating the 2019 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. The weighted average expected rate of return on plan assets we will use in 2019
is 4.6%. 

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, 2018 and to calculate our 2019 expense was 3.2%; the rate used to calculate 
our obligations as of December 31, 2017 and our 2018 expense was 2.8%. 

Holding all other assumptions constant, the following table summarizes the estimated impacts of a 0.25% change in 
the discount rate and a 0.25% change in the expected return on plan assets:

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 $2.4 billion 
at December 31, 2018, of which the U.S. primary domestic plans, with a lump-sum feature, represented approximately 
$810 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, 2018, U.S. plan settlements were $660 million, $550 million and $229 million, respectively, and the 
associated settlement losses on those plan settlements were $173 million, $133 million and $65 million, respectively. 
In 2019, on average, we estimate that approximately $100 million of plan settlements will result in settlement losses 
of approximately $25 million.

Our estimated 2019 defined benefit pension plan cost is expected to be approximately $134 million lower than 2018, 
primarily driven by lower projected U.S. settlement losses and the amortization of prior service credits resulting from 
the 2018 amendments to our Retiree Health plans in the U.S. and Canada.

(1)  Excludes U.S. settlement losses.
(2)  Prior year amounts have been revised to reflect additional cost for previously excluded plans.

The decrease in contributions to our U.S. defined benefit plans from 2017 was largely due to 2017 including $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 voluntary contributions. Contributions to our U.S. defined benefit 
plans in 2018 and estimated for 2019 are primarily for payments associated with our non-qualified plan in the U.S. and 
do not include any contributions for our tax-qualified defined benefit plans because none were required to meet the 
minimum funding requirements. 

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. 

Xerox 2018 Annual Report      27

Table of Contents 

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 $3 million, $6 million and $(8) million for the years ended December 31, 
2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. There were other (decreases) increases to our valuation allowance, including the 
effects of currency, of $(41) million, $13 million and $41 million for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 
2016,  respectively. These  did  not  affect  income  tax  expense  in  total  as  there  was  a  corresponding  adjustment  to 
Deferred tax assets or Other comprehensive income (loss).

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 $108 million, $125 million and $165 million at December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

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 one-time transition tax on deemed 
repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. 

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, as well as 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, 2018. We assess Goodwill for impairment at least annually 
during the fourth quarter based on balances as of October 1st 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 impairment at the entity level. 

Xerox 2018 Annual Report      28

 
Table of Contents 

In performing our annual Goodwill impairment test as of October 1st, we qualitatively assessed our Goodwill balance 
for impairment and concluded that Goodwill was not impaired. In performing the qualitative assessment, we considered 
the prior year excess of fair value over carrying value as well as relevant events and conditions, including but not limited 
to, macroeconomic trends, industry and market conditions, overall financial performance, cost factors, company-specific 
events, and legal and regulatory factors. Our assessment indicated that consistent with prior year projections, we 
retained our market share and offset revenue declines with cost reductions and productivity improvements. Accordingly, 
expected net cash flows were consistent with prior period projections. In addition, we also considered the impact of a 
higher discount rate than the prior year based on current market and industry conditions but concluded that the impact 
would not have had a material adverse impact. 

Subsequent to our annual test, as a result of certain business factors including a debt rating downgrade and a significant 
decrease in our market capitalization, we performed an interim impairment test of our Goodwill balance as of December 
31, 2018. We elected to utilize a quantitative assessment of the recoverability of our Goodwill balance for this interim 
impairment assessment.

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. Our assessment also includes the use of outside valuation experts and 
incorporates factors and assumptions related to third-party market participants. 

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 10%, 
which  we  considered  reasonable  based  on  the  estimated  capital  costs  of  applicable  market  participants  and  an 
appropriate company-specific risk premium that reflects current market and industry conditions.

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 interim impairment review as of December 31, 2018, we concluded that Goodwill was not impaired 
and we had an excess of fair value over carrying value of more than 20%. 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.

Refer to Note 11 - Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information 
regarding Goodwill.

In  2018,  upon  adoption of ASU 2014-09 Revenue Recognition,  revenue  from  training  related  to  equipment  installation is now  included  in 
Equipment Sales. In prior periods, this revenue was reported as Services, maintenance and rentals.

(2)  Equipment sales revenue in 2016 has been revised to reclassify certain XBS IT-related equipment sales to other sales, which are included in 

Post sale revenue.

(3)  Refer to the "Geographic Sales Channels and Product and Offerings Definitions" section.
(4)  Excluding equipment revenue, Managed Document Services (MDS) was $2,974 million, $2,962 million and $2,942 million for the three years 
ended December 31, 2018, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the change represented an increase of 0.4%, including a 
0.6-percentage point favorable impact from currency. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the change represented an increase of 0.7%, 
including a 0.2-percentage point unfavorable impact from currency.

Revenue

Total revenue decreased 4.2% for the year ended December 31, 2018 including a 0.7-percentage point favorable 
impact from currency. Total revenue decreased 4.7% for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to the prior 
year, with no impact from currency. Total revenues included the following:

Post sale revenue

Post  sale  revenue  primarily  reflects  contracted  services,  equipment  maintenance,  supplies  and  financing.  These 
revenues are associated not only with the population of devices in the field, which is affected by installs and removals, 
but also by page volumes generated by the usage of such devices, and the revenue per printed page. For the year 
ended December 31, 2018, Post sale revenue decreased 4.3% compared to the prior year including a 0.7-percentage 
point favorable impact from currency. For the year ended December 31, 2017, Post sale revenue decreased 4.0% 
compared to the prior year including a 0.1-percentage point unfavorable 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).

  For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018,  these  revenues  declined  5.2%,  including  a  0.2-percentage  point 
favorable impact from currency. The decline at constant currency1 reflected the continuing trends of lower page 
volumes (including a higher mix of lower usage products), an ongoing competitive price environment and a 
lower population of devices, which are partially associated with continued lower signings and installs from prior 
periods. The lower population of devices is partially due to the loss of market share for multiple quarters leading 
up to the ConnectKey launch in mid-2017. Additionally, the prior year included $20 million of higher revenues 
associated with a licensing agreement. These impacts were partially offset by higher revenues from MDS and 
our  Xerox  Business  Solutions  (XBS)  business,  formerly  known  as  Global  Imaging  Systems,  inclusive  of 
acquisitions.

  For the year ended December 31, 2017, these revenues declined 3.7%, including no impact from currency. 
The decline at constant currency1 reflected lower signings and installs 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 XBS 
business.

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

  For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018,  these  revenues  declined  2.7%,  including  a  0.1-percentage  point 
unfavorable impact from currency. The decline at constant currency1 reflected the impact from lower supplies 
sales (both in U.S. and European channels). These declines were partially offset by higher paper sales and 
higher IT network integration solutions sales from our XBS business.  The decline also reflected an approximate 
1.5-percentage point unfavorable impact from lower original equipment manufacturer (OEM) sales. 

  For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2017,  these  revenues  declined  4.1%,  including  a  0.3-percentage  point 
unfavorable impact from currency. The decline was driven by lower network integration solutions sales from 
our XBS business, reduced OEM supplies and lower supplies demand (both in U.S. and European channels) 
consistent with declining equipment sales in prior periods. The decline was partially offset by higher supplies 
sales from our XBS business and our developing markets. 

•  Financing revenue is generated from financed equipment sale transactions. For the year ended December 31, 
2018, Financing revenue decreased 8.8%, including a 1.2-percentage point favorable impact from currency, while 
Financing revenue for the year ended December 31, 2017 decreased 9.5% including no impact from currency. 
The decline in both periods reflected a continued decline in finance receivables balance due to lower equipment 
sales in prior periods and a greater mix of sales to channels where our financing penetration rate is lower.

In 2018, revenues from our OEM business are included in Other, which had historically been reported in Entry. This reclassification was made 
to provide better transparency to our business results. Prior year amounts have been adjusted to conform to this change.
In  2018,  upon  adoption of ASU 2014-09 Revenue Recognition,  revenue  from  training related  to  equipment installation  is  now included  in 
Equipment Sales (previously included in Post sale revenue). Prior year amounts have been adjusted to conform to this change.

(3)  Equipment sales revenue in 2016 has been revised to reclassify certain XBS IT-related equipment sales to other sales, which are included in 

Post sale revenue.

Equipment sales revenue

Equipment sales revenue decreased 4.1% for the year ended December 31, 2018 including a 0.4-percentage point 
favorable impact from currency. For the year ended December 31, 2017, Equipment sales decreased 7.1% including 
a 0.2-percentage point favorable impact from currency. Equipment sales revenue in both years was impacted by price 
declines of approximately 5% (which were in-line with our historic declines). For the year ended December 31, 2018, 
the decline at constant currency1 included a 3.3-percentage point unfavorable impact from lower OEM Equipment 
sales. Equipment sales revenue is comprised of the following:

Xerox 2018 Annual Report      31

 
Table of Contents 

•  Entry

  For the year ended December 31, 2018, the increase reflected higher sales of our ConnectKey devices through 

our channels in the U.S. and developing markets.

  For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2017,  entry  sales  were  flat  and  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. 

•  Mid-range

  For the year ended December 31, 2018, the increase reflected higher sales of our ConnectKey devices through 
our Enterprise channel in the U.S., higher sales of lower-end devices in developing markets and higher sales 
from our XBS business.

  For the year ended December 31, 2017, the decrease reflected, 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 partially offset by higher revenues from our developing markets. 

•  High-end

  For the year ended December 31, 2018, the decrease primarily reflected lower sales from iGen, along with 
lower revenues from black-and-white systems consistent with market decline trends. These declines were only 
partially  mitigated  by  demand  for  the  Iridesse  production  press,  as  well  as  higher  sales  from  our  recently 
upgraded Brenva cut-sheet inkjet press.

  For the year ended December 31, 2017, the decrease in high-end sales primarily reflected lower revenues 
from our black-and-white systems, consistent with market trends, along with the impact of 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.

Revenue Metrics
Installs reflect new placement of devices only. Revenue associated with equipment installations (discussed below) 
may be reflected up-front Equipment sales or over time through rental income or as part of our Managed Document 
Services revenues (which are both reported within our Post sale revenues), depending on the terms and conditions 
of  our  agreements  with  our  customers.  Install  activity  includes  Managed  Document  Services  and  Xerox-branded 
products shipped to our XBS business. Detail by product group (see Geographic Sales Channels and Product and 
Offerings Definitions) is shown below:
Installs for the year ended December 31, 2018 were:

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.

• 

High-End(2)
• 

•

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.

(1)  Entry installations exclude OEM sales; including OEM sales, Entry color multifunction devices decreased 16% and 2% for the years ended 
December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Entry black-and-white multifunction devices increased 3% and 10% for the years ended December 
31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

(2)  Mid-range and High-end color installations exclude Fuji Xerox digital front-end sales; including Fuji Xerox digital front-end sales, Mid-range 
color devices increased 9% and were flat for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, while High-end color systems 
decreased 9% and 14% for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Signings 

Signings are defined as estimated  future  revenues from contracts signed during the period, including renewals of 
existing contracts. 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. Our 
reported signings primarily represent those from our Enterprise deals, as we do not currently include signings from 
our growing partner print services offerings or those from our XBS business. Total Contract Value (TCV) is the estimated 
contractual revenue related to signed contracts. Signings expressed in TCV were as follows:

Signings for the year ended December 31, 2018 decreased 12.8% compared to the prior year, including a 1.1-percentage 
point favorable impact from currency primarily reflecting lower new business and fewer renewal opportunities as a 
result of ongoing competitive pressure in the market and longer decision cycles. 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. 

New business TCV for the year ended December 31, 2018, decreased 5.0%, including a 1.0-percentage point favorable 
impact from currency. 

Renewal Rate

Contract renewal rate for the year ended December 31, 2018 was 82%, as compared to the renewal rate of 84% for 
the year ended December 31, 2017. The decrease in the renewal rate since 2017 is a result of the inherent volatility 
in the timing of signings as well as the recently instituted enhanced discipline, ensuring that we are not diminishing 
our return on investment by renewing too early.

Pre-tax Income Margin

Pre-tax income margin for the year ended December 31, 2018 of 6.1% increased 0.5-percentage points compared to 
2017. This increase was primarily driven by lower Restructuring and related costs and lower Other expenses, net, 
including lower non-service retirement-related costs. These improvements were partially offset by lower revenues, 
which were only partially offset by cost savings and productivity from our business transformation actions and higher 
Transaction and related costs, net. Transaction currency had a 0.5-percentage point favorable impact. 

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 includes the Amortization of intangible assets, Restructuring and related costs, Transaction 
and other related costs and Other expenses, net, all of which are separately discussed in subsequent sections. 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, 2018 of 12.9% increased 0.2-percentage points compared 
to  2017,  including  a  0.5-percentage  point  favorable  impact  from  transaction  currency,  primarily  reflecting  cost 
productivity and savings from our business transformation actions and lower compensation expense. Partially offsetting 
these improvements was lower revenues and a 0.4-percentage point unfavorable impact within SAG expenses primarily 
related to the exit of a real estate facility (0.2-percentage point) and the cancellation of certain IT projects (0.2-percentage 
point). Adjusted1 operating margin was also unfavorably impacted by lower equity income from our Fuji Xerox joint 
venture.

Adjusted1 operating margin for the year ended December 31, 2017 of 12.7% 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 0.7-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.

Gross Margin

Total gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2018 of 39.9% decreased 0.3-percentage points compared to 
2017, primarily reflecting a less profitable mix of revenues and the impact of pricing, as well as lower post sale margin, 
partially  offset  by  higher  equipment  margin  and  cost  productivity  and  savings  associated  with  our  business 
transformation actions.  Gross margin includes the favorable impact from transaction currency of 0.4-percentage points. 

Total gross margin for year ended December 31, 2017 of 40.2% increased 0.2-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. 

Equipment gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2018 of 32.9% increased 3.8-percentage points compared 
to 2017, reflecting the mix benefit from lower OEM sales (which carry a negative upfront margin), favorable transaction 
currency as well as savings from cost productivity initiatives, partially offset by the impact of pricing and a less profitable 
mix of revenues.

Equipment gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2017 of 29.1% decreased 2.1-percentage points compared 
to 2016, as product cost productivity was more than offset by adverse transaction currency and price declines.

Post sale gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2018 of 42.0% decreased 1.4-percentage points compared 
to 2017, reflecting lower revenues, including an unfavorable mix of lower maintenance revenues and licensing revenues 
as well as the impact of pricing, partially offset by productivity and restructuring savings.

Post sale gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2017 of 43.4% increased 1.3-percentage points compared 
to  2016,  reflecting  cost  savings  and  productivity  improvements  from  strategic  transformation  and  higher  licensing 
revenue, which more than offset the pace of revenue declines.

(1)  The fluctuation in Fuji Xerox R&D was primarily due to changes in foreign exchange rates.

RD&E as a percentage of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2018 of 4.0% was 0.1-percentage points lower 
compared to 2017. 

RD&E of $397 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, decreased $27 million from 2017 and reflected lower 
sustaining engineering expenses as well as restructuring and cost productivity savings and lower expenses from the 
sale of a business and associated transfers of resources to third parties during the prior year. These impacts were 
partially offset by modest investments in innovation in complementary market areas. 

RD&E as a percentage of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2017 of 4.1% was 0.2-percentage points lower 
compared to 2016. 

RD&E of $424 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 decreased $39 million from 2016 and reflected 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.

Selling, Administrative and General Expenses (SAG)

SAG as a percentage of revenue of 24.3% decreased 0.3-percentage points for the year ended December 31, 2018
compared to 2017 primarily reflecting the savings from productivity and restructuring associated with our business 
transformation actions. SAG as a percentage of revenue includes a 0.4-percentage point unfavorable impact from the 
exit of a real estate facility and the cancellation of certain IT projects in 2018. 

SAG expenses of $2,390 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 were $136 million lower than 2017, including 
an  approximate  $14  million  unfavorable  impact  from  currency.  The  reduction  primarily  reflected  productivity  and 
restructuring  savings  associated  with  our  business  transformation  actions  along  with  lower  annual  performance 

Xerox 2018 Annual Report      36

 
Table of Contents 

incentive compensation expense. These improvements were partially offset by $44 million of charges related to the 
accelerated depreciation from the early termination of a capital lease associated with a surplus facility ($22 million) 
and the cancellation of certain IT projects ($22 million) as we continue to evaluate the returns on our IT investments. 
Bad debt expense for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $36 million and was $3 million higher than the prior 
year and on a trailing twelve month basis (TTM) remained at less than one percent of receivables.

SAG as a percentage of revenue of 24.6% increased 0.1-percentage points for the year ended December 31, 2017 
compared to 2016 primarily reflecting the impact of lower revenues that were partly mitigated by productivity and cost 
savings from strategic transformation, which include restructuring savings. 

SAG expenses of $2,526 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 were $110 million lower than 2016, including 
an approximate $9 million favorable impact from currency. The reduction 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 XBS acquisitions. Bad debt expense for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $33 million 
and was $4 million lower than the prior year and on a trailing twelve month basis (TTM) remained at less than one 
percent of receivables.

Restructuring and Related Costs

Restructuring and related costs of $158 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 include net restructuring and 
asset impairment charges of $157 million and $1 million of additional costs, primarily related to professional support 
services  associated  with  the  business  transformation  initiatives.  Net  restructuring  and  asset  impairment  charges 
included the following:

• 

• 

$176 million of severance costs related to headcount of approximately 2,700 employees globally. The average 
restructuring cost per employee was lower in 2018 as compared to 2017 due to the geographic mix of actions as 
well as reductions in our employee severance programs particularly with respect to actions in the U.S. The actions 
impacted multiple functional areas, with approximately 25% of the costs focused on gross margin improvements, 
70% focused on SAG reductions and the remainder focused on RD&E optimization. 

$14  million  for  lease  termination  costs  primarily  reflecting  continued  optimization  of  our  worldwide  operating 
locations.

The above charges were partially offset by $33 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.

We expect 2019 pre-tax savings of approximately $140 million from our 2018 restructuring actions.

Restructuring and related costs of $216 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 included net restructuring and 
asset impairment charges of $197 million and $19 million of additional costs, primarily related to professional support 
services  associated  with  strategic  transformation.  Net  restructuring  and  asset  impairment  charges  included  the 
following:

• 

• 

• 

$221 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, which included a $5 million favorable adjustment on the early termination of the lease for our corporate 
airplane.

Restructuring Summary

The restructuring reserve balance as of December 31, 2018 for all programs was $95 million, of which $93 million is 
expected to be spent over the next twelve months. During 2019, we expect to incur additional restructuring and related 
charges of approximately $225 million for actions and initiatives that have not yet been finalized. Approximately $75 
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.

Transaction and Related Costs, Net

For the year ended December 31, 2018, we recorded $68 million of Transaction and related costs, net, which increased 
$59 million from the prior year and included the following:
•  Costs related to the proposed combination transaction with Fuji Xerox, which was terminated in May 2018, primarily 

for third-party accounting, legal, consulting and other similar types of services. 

•  Costs related to the settlement agreement reached with certain shareholders in the second quarter of 2018 as well 
as  third-party  legal  and  other  related  costs  associated  with  on-going  litigation  resulting  from  the  terminated 
combination transaction and other related shareholder actions. 

• 

$19 million of costs related to the commitment for a $2.5 billion unsecured bridge loan facility, which was terminated 
concurrent with the termination of the Fuji Xerox combination transaction.

•  Recoveries of approximately $45 million, which included insurance recoveries for litigation and related settlement 
costs of approximately $30 million and a settlement refund from a financial adviser, associated with the terminated 
combination transaction, for approximately $13 million. We continue to pursue additional recoveries from insurance 
carriers and other parties for costs and expenses related to the terminated transaction and related shareholder 
litigation and therefore additional recoveries and adjustments may be recorded in future periods, when finalized. 

Amortization of Intangible Assets 

Amortization of intangible assets for the three years ended December 31, 2018 was $48 million,  $53 million, and $58 
million, respectively. The decrease of $5 million in both 2018 and 2017, as compared to the respective prior year 
periods, reflected a lower level of acquisitions.

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 32,400 as of December 31, 2018 and decreased by approximately 2,900 
from  December 31,  2017  largely  driven  by  our  business  transformation. Approximately  half  of  the  reduction  was 
associated with restructuring actions, while the remainder resulted from net attrition (attrition net of gross hires), of 
which a large portion is not expected to be backfilled.

Non-financing interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2018 of $112 million was $7 million lower than 2017. 
When non-financing interest expense is combined with financing interest expense (Cost of financing), total interest 
expense decreased by $8 million from the prior year. The decrease is primarily due to a lower debt balance reflecting 
net debt repayments of approximately $265 million in 2018 and $800 million in 2017. 

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 decreased 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 an incremental voluntary contribution to our U.S. defined benefit pension plans.

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.

Non-Service retirement-related costs

Non-service retirement-related costs decreased $38 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to 
the prior year primarily due to the favorable impact of higher pension contributions and asset returns in the prior year, 
as well as the favorable impact of an amendment to our U.S. Retiree Health Plan. The favorable impacts were partially 
offset by higher losses from pension settlements in the U.S. of $173 million, a $40 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 increased $67 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 as compared to the 
prior year primarily due to losses from pension settlements in the U.S. 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.

Net gain on sales of businesses and assets

The 2018 net gain on sales of businesses and assets of $35 million reflects sales of non-core business assets in 2018. 

The 2017 net gain on sales of businesses and assets of $15 million includes 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 reflected gains on the sale of surplus technology 
assets of $17 million. 

Currency losses, net 

Currency  losses  and  gains  primarily  result  from  the  remeasurement  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 $9 million decrease 
in 2017 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. The decrease in loss reflects the termination of 
several receivable sale programs in 2017. Refer to Sales of Accounts Receivable section below and Note 6 - Accounts 
Receivable, Net in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our sales of receivables.

Contract termination costs

During 2018, we recorded a $43 million penalty associated with a minimum purchase commitment that will not be 
fulfilled due to the termination of a related IT services arrangement. The minimum purchase commitment had originally 
been entered into in connection with the sale of our Information Technology Outsourcing (ITO) business in 2015.

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, as well 
as a $13 million loss associated with the tender and exchange of certain Senior Notes. 

Income Taxes

The 2018 effective tax rate was 43.0% and includes an additional charge of $89 million related to the 2017 Tax Act 
(the "Tax Act") which is discussed below. On an adjusted1 basis, the 2018 effective tax rate was 26.9%. Both rates 
were higher than the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to 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, Transaction and related costs, net, Non-service retirement related costs as well as  
other discrete, unusual or infrequent items as described in our Non-GAAP Financial Measures section, including the 
impact of the Tax Act discussed below. 

The 2017 effective tax rate was 84.4% and included our 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 24.9%. This rate was lower than the 
U.S. statutory tax rate of 35% 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, discussed 
below. 

Xerox 2018 Annual Report      39

Table of Contents 

The 2016 effective tax rate was 10.9% and on an adjusted1 basis, the 2016 effective tax rate was 20.6%. Both rates 
were lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate of 35% 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.

Xerox operations are widely dispersed. However, no one country outside of the U.S. is a significant factor in determining 
our overall effective tax rate. Our full year effective tax rate for 2018 includes an expense of 4.4-percentage points 
from these non-U.S. operations. 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 the Restructuring and related costs, Amortization of intangible assets, 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 2019.

Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”)

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted. 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 one-time transition tax on deemed repatriated 
earnings of foreign subsidiaries.

During 2017, we recorded an estimated non-cash provisional charge of $400 million reflecting our provisional estimated 
impact associated with the provisions of the Tax Act based on currently available information. Our estimated charge 
incorporated assumptions made based on our interpretation of the Tax Act as well as information available at that time 
and was subject to change, possibly materially, as we completed our analysis and received additional clarification and 
implementation guidance. During 2018, we adjusted our provisional estimate by an additional charge of $89 million, 
reflecting certain positions taken on our filed 2017 income tax return as well as consideration of additional guidance 
from the U.S. Treasury and Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The adjustments include changes to the determination of 
the one-time deemed repatriation tax as well as additional remeasurement of our U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities 
to the lower enacted statutory tax rate. The total charge of $489 million reflects our current estimate of the impact of 
the Tax Act and may change in the future based on new guidance being issued or changes in our expected filing 
positions.

Effective January 1, 2018, we became subject to various provisions of the Tax Act including computations related to 
Global Intangible Low Taxed Income ("GILTI"), Foreign Derived Intangible Income ("FDII"), Base Erosion and AntiAbuse 
Tax ("BEAT"), and IRC Section 163(j) interest limitation (Interest Limitation). Accordingly, our 2018 effective tax rate 
includes the impact for these items, which was approximately $15 million on a full year basis. The estimates for these 
additional provisions of the Tax Act were made based on our current interpretation of the Tax Act as well as currently 
available information and may change as we receive additional clarification and implementation guidance.

Refer to Note 18 - Income and Other Taxes in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding 
the estimated impacts of Tax Act.

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, 2018 and 2017, total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $1,148 million and $1,368 

million, respectively. 

•  We expect operating cash flows from continuing operations to be between $1,150 million and $1,250 million in 

2019, reflecting continued improvements in working capital and increased earnings.

•  As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, 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 2018. At this time, based on our current credit rating, the Commercial Paper 
program is not available for use.

•  We have consistently delivered positive cash flows from operations driven by our post-sale-based revenue model 
and cost productivity initiatives, such as Project Own It. Operating cash flows from continuing operations were 
$1,140 million, $(179) million and $716 million for the three years ended December 31, 2018, 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. In addition, both 2017 and 2016 Operating Cash Flows include the impacts 
of certain reporting changes as discussed in 2018 Reporting Changes below and Note 1 – Basis of Presentation 
and  Summary  of  Significant Accounting  Policies  -  New Accounting  Standards  and Accounting  Changes  in  the 
Consolidated Financial Statements. 

Operating cash flows adjusted for the above noted impacts are included in the following reconciliation:

Credit Rating Downgrade

In 2018, Xerox’s credit ratings were downgraded by Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”), Standard and Poors (“S&P”) 
and FitchRatings one notch, from Baa3, BBB- and BBB- to Ba1, BB+ and BB+, respectively. Although the downgrades 
resulted in Xerox’s credit rating falling below investment grade, our liquidity remains strong, with $1,084 million in cash 
and cash equivalents, an undrawn Credit Facility of $1.8 billion, which matures in August 2022, and 2018 operating 
cash flows of $1,140 million with the expectation for at least $1,150 million in 2019. Additionally, we expect to continue 
to have access to the Credit Markets and we expect to maintain our current finance business and provide financing of 
Xerox equipment to our customers on substantially the same terms and conditions as before the downgrades.

The impact of the downgrades on Xerox’s debt agreements include the following: 
•  The annual facility fee under the Company’s $1.8 billion Credit Facility increased from 0.200% to 0.250% on the 
total facility amount and the spread to LIBOR for borrowings under the Credit Facility will increase from 1.175% to 
1.375%. The Company currently has no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility and had none at December 
31, 2018. 

•  The Company’s $1.0 billion Senior Notes due 2023 include a provision that requires an increase in the coupon rate 
for rating downgrades by Moody’s and/or S&P. Accordingly, the coupon rate of 3.625% will increase by 0.50% to 
4.125% effective March 15, 2019. 

•  Our Commercial Paper program is not available for use. We have not held a period-end balance under this facility 

since 2015.

The above impacts are expected to result in an increase in 2019 total interest expense of approximately $5 million.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was $1,140 million for the year ended December 31, 
2018. The $1,319 million increase in operating cash from 2017 was primarily due to the following: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 
• 

• 
• 

$692 million increase due to prior year contributions of $635 million to our domestic tax-qualified defined benefit 
plans, which included an incremental voluntary contribution of $500 million.
$559 million increase from accounts receivable primarily due to the prior year termination of all accounts receivable 
sales arrangements in North America and all but one arrangement in Europe and the prior year reclassification of 
$213 million of collections of deferred proceeds from the sales of accounts receivable to investing.
$104 million increase from lower inventory levels primarily due to a decline in equipment sales and the impact of 
the product launch in the prior year.
$65 million increase due to the prior year payment of restricted cash balances in connection with the termination 
of our accounts receivable sales arrangements.
$50 million increase from lower restructuring payments.
$66 million decrease due to dividends received in the prior year of $43 million from equity investments other than 
Fuji Xerox representing the accumulation of earnings over multiple years and $23 million due to lower income from 
Fuji Xerox.
$45 million decrease due to net payments for transaction and related costs.
$31 million decrease due to higher equipment on operating leases.

Net cash used in operating activities of continuing operations was $179 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. 
The $895 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.
$378 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.
$107 million decrease from higher restructuring payments.

Finance Assets and Related Debt

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, 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 in 
which 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:

Our lease contracts permit customers to pay for equipment over time rather than at the date of installation; therefore, 
we maintain a certain level of debt (that we refer to as financing debt) to support our investment in these lease contracts, 
which are reflected in total finance receivables, net. For this financing aspect of our business, we maintain an assumed 
7:1 leverage ratio of debt to equity as compared to our finance assets.

Based on this leverage, the following represents the breakdown of total debt between financing debt and core debt:

Share Repurchase Programs - Treasury Stock

In July 2018, the Board of Directors authorized a $1.0 billion share repurchase program (exclusive of any commissions 
and other transaction fees and costs). The program replaced the $245 million of authority remaining under the Company's 
previously authorized share repurchase program. 

During 2018, we repurchased 26.1 million shares of our common stock for an aggregate cost of $700 million, including 
fees. Through February 25, 2019, we repurchased an additional 0.9 million in shares with an aggregate cost of $28 
million, including fees, for a cumulative total of 27.0 million shares at a cost of $728 million, including fees. No shares 
were repurchased during 2017 or 2016.

In January 2019, the Board of Directors authorized an incremental $1.0 billion share repurchase program (exclusive of 
any commissions and other transaction fees and costs). We expect to repurchase at least $300 million of shares during 
2019.

Refer  to  Note  21  -  Shareholders’  Equity  –  Treasury  Stock  in  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  for  additional 
information regarding our share repurchase program.

Dividends

The Board of Directors declared aggregate dividends of $251 million, $259 million and $317 million on common stock 
in 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decrease in 2017 as compared to 2016 is primarily due to the decrease of 
the quarterly dividend to 25 cents per share from 31 cents per share following the separation of Conduent in 2016.

The Board of Directors declared aggregate dividends of $14 million in 2018 and 2017 on the Series B Convertible 
Preferred Stock and $24 million in 2016 on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. 

Liquidity and Financial Flexibility

We manage our worldwide liquidity using internal cash management practices, which are subject to (i) the statutes, 
regulations  and  practices  of  each  of  the  local  jurisdictions  in  which  we  operate,  (ii) the  legal  requirements  of  the 
agreements to which we are a party and (iii) the policies and cooperation of the financial institutions we utilize to maintain

(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 Retiree Health Benefit Plans 

We sponsor defined benefit pension plans and retiree health plans that require periodic cash contributions. Our 2018
cash contributions for these plans were $144 million for our defined benefit pension plans and $57 million for our retiree 
health plans.

In 2019, based on current actuarial calculations, we expect to make contributions of approximately $135 million to our 
worldwide defined benefit pension plans and $35 million to our retiree health benefit plans. There are no contributions 
required in 2019 for our U.S. tax-qualified defined benefit plans to meet the minimum funding requirements.

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, 2018, the net unfunded balances of our U.S. and Non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans were $876 
million and $278 million, respectively, or $1,154 million in the aggregate, which is a $197 million decrease from the 
balance at December 31, 2017. The decrease is primarily due to 2018 contributions and the reduction of the benefit 
obligation due to the impact of higher discount rates. Approximately $775 million of the $1,154 million net unfunded 
balance is attributable to certain plans that do not require funding. 

Cash contributions to our retiree health plans 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. Our retiree health benefit plans are non-funded and are primarily related to domestic operations. The unfunded 
balance of our retiree health plans is $385 million at December 31, 2018, which is a $338 million decrease from the 
unfunded balance at December 31, 2017. The decrease primarily reflects the impact of an amendment to our U.S. 
Retiree Health Plan in 2018 as well as the reduction of the benefit obligation due to the impact of higher discount rates 
and cash contributions. 

Refer to Note 17 - Employee Benefit Plans in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding 
contributions to our defined benefit pension and retiree health plans.

Fuji Xerox

We purchased products, including parts and supplies, from Fuji Xerox totaling $1.5 billion, $1.6 billion and $1.6 billion 
in 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Our product supply agreements with Fuji Xerox are designed to support the entire 
product lifecycle, end-to-end, including the availability of spare parts, consumables and technical support throughout 
the time such products are with our customers. Our purchase orders under such agreements are made 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 Contingencies 

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

As of December 31, 2018, the total amounts related to the unreserved portion of the tax contingencies, inclusive of 
related interest, amounted to approximately $500 million with the decrease from the December 31, 2017 balance of 
approximately $585 million, primarily related to currency and closed cases partially offset by interest. With respect to 
the unreserved balance of approximately $500 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, 2018, we had $58 million of escrow cash deposits for the tax matters we are disputing 
and additional letters of credit and surety bonds of $104 million and $106 million, respectively, which include associated 
indexation. There were no liens on Brazilian assets as of December 31, 2018. Generally, any escrowed amounts would 
be refundable and any liens would be removed to the extent the matters are resolved in our favor. We are also involved 
in  certain  disputes  with  contract  and  former  employees.  Exposures  related  to  labor  matters  are  not  material  to  the 
financial statements as of December 31, 2018. 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.

As of December 31, 2018, we had $108 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 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 accounts receivable sales.

•  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, 2018, 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 the non-GAAP measures described below. We believe these non-GAAP measures 
allow  investors  to  better  understand  the  trends  in  our  business  and  to  better  understand  and  compare  our  results. 
Accordingly,  we  believe  it  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. 

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 below in the following tables as well as the fourth quarter 2018 
presentation slides available at www.xerox.com/investor. 

Adjusted Earnings Measures

•  Net income and Earnings per share (EPS)
•  Effective tax rate

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.

Restructuring and related costs: Restructuring and related costs include restructuring and asset impairment charges 
as well as costs associated with our transformation programs beyond those normally included in restructuring and asset 
impairment charges. Restructuring consists of costs primarily related to severance and benefits paid to employees 
pursuant  to  formal  restructuring  and  workforce  reduction  plans. Asset  impairment  includes  costs  incurred  for  those 
assets sold, abandoned or made obsolete as a result of our restructuring actions, exiting from a business or other 
strategic business changes. Additional costs for our transformation programs are primarily related to the implementation 
of strategic actions and initiatives and include third-party professional service costs as well as one-time incremental 
costs. All of these costs can vary significantly in terms of amount and frequency based on the nature of the actions as 
well as the changing needs of the business. Accordingly, due to that significant variability, we will exclude these charges 
since we do not believe they provide meaningful insight into our current or past operating performance nor do we believe 
they are reflective of our expected future operating expenses as such charges are expected to yield future benefits and 
savings with respect to our operational performance.

Xerox 2018 Annual Report      52

Table of Contents 

Non-service retirement-related costs: Our defined benefit pension and retiree health costs include several elements 
impacted by changes in plan assets and obligations that are primarily driven by changes in the debt and equity markets 
as well as those that are predominantly legacy in nature and related to employees who are no longer providing current 
service to the company (e.g. retirees and ex-employees). These elements include (i) interest cost, (ii) expected return 
on plan assets, (iii) amortization of prior plan amendments, (iv) amortized actuarial gains/losses and (v) the impacts of 
any plan settlements/curtailments. Accordingly, we consider these elements of our periodic retirement plan costs to be 
outside the operational performance of the business or legacy costs and not necessarily indicative of current or future 
cash flow requirements. This approach is consistent with the classification of these costs as non-operating in Other 
expenses, net as a result of our adoption of ASU 2017-07 - Reporting of Retired Related Benefit Costs in 2018. Adjusted 
earnings will continue to include the service cost elements of our retirement costs, which is related to current employee 
service as well as the cost of our defined contribution plans. 

Transaction and related costs, net: Transaction and related costs, net are expenses incurred in connection with Xerox's 
planned combination transaction with Fuji Xerox, which was terminated in May 2018, as well as costs and expenses 
related to the previously disclosed settlement agreement reached with certain shareholders and litigation related to the 
terminated transaction and other shareholder actions. These costs are considered incremental to our normal operating 
charges and were incurred or are expected to be incurred solely as a result of the planned combination transaction and 
the related shareholder settlement agreement and litigation. Accordingly, we are excluding these expenses from our 
Adjusted Earnings Measures in order to evaluate our performance on a comparable basis. 

Restructuring and other charges - Fuji Xerox: We adjust our 25% share of Fuji Xerox's net income for similar items 
noted above such as Restructuring and related costs and Transaction and related costs, net based on the same rationale 
discussed above.

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: 

• 
• 
• 
• 

2018 - Contract termination costs associated with a minimum purchase commitment for IT services.
2017 - Losses on early extinguishment of debt.
2017 - A benefit from the remeasurement of a tax matter that related to a previously adjusted item.
2018 and 2017 - The impacts associated with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act") enacted in December 2017. 
See the Income Taxes section in the MD&A for further explanation.

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 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 the remaining amounts included in Other expenses, net, which are 
primarily comprised of Non-financing interest expense and certain other non-operating costs and expenses. We exclude 
these amounts in order to evaluate our current and past operating performance and to better understand the expected 
future trends in our business. Adjusted operating income and margin also include Equity in net income of unconsolidated 
affiliates. Equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates primarily reflects our 25% share of Fuji Xerox's net income. 
In  2019,  we  plan  on  modifying  the  definition  of  Adjusted  operating  margin  to  exclude  Equity  in  net  income  of 
unconsolidated affiliates - accordingly in 2019 adjusted operating margin will be compared to a revised full-year 2018 
adjusted operating margin on the same basis.

Constant Currency (CC)

Refer to the Currency Impact section in the MD&A for discussion of this measure and its use in our analysis of revenue 
growth.

Summary

Management believes that all of these non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional means of analyzing the 
current period's results against the corresponding prior period's results. However, these non-GAAP financial measures 
should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the company’s reported results prepared in accordance with 
GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable 
GAAP  measures  and  should  be  read  only  in  conjunction  with  our  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.

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, 2018, 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, 
2018. A 10% appreciation or depreciation of the U.S. Dollar against all currencies from the quoted foreign currency 
exchange rates at December 31, 2018 would have an impact on our cumulative translation adjustment portion of equity 
of approximately $419 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 
$4.2 billion at December 31, 2018. 

Interest Rate Risk Management 

The consolidated average interest rate associated with our total debt for 2018, 2017 and 2016 approximated 4.6%, 
4.6%, and 4.7%, 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, 2018, $301 million of our total debt of $5.2 billion carried variable interest rates, including the effect 
of pay variable interest rate swaps, if any, which 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, 
2018, a 10% change in market interest rates would change the fair values of such financial instruments by approximately 
$96 million.

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  (the 
"Company")  as  of  December  31,  2018  and  2017,  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, 2018, 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, 2018, 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, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for 
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018 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, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal 
Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

Change in Accounting Principle

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts 
for revenues from contracts with customers in 2018.

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 

Xerox 2018 Annual Report      57

Table of Contents 

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.

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, 2018.  The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 
31, 2018 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 

The  accompanying  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  and  footnotes  of  Xerox  Corporation  have  been  prepared  in 
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).

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 $9.8 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 Incorporated 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. 

Refer to Note 5 - Divestitures for additional information regarding discontinued operations and other divestitures.

Prior Period Adjustments

In third quarter 2018, we determined that the Pension Benefit Obligation (PBO) for our UK funded pension plan at 
December 31, 2017 was overstated by approximately GBP 40 million (approximately USD $53 or $43 after-tax). The 
error was the result of the plan administrator under-reporting benefit payments. The correction of the PBO was recorded 
as an out-of-period adjustment in the third quarter 2018 with the offset to the balance sheet recorded as a credit to 
Changes in defined benefit plans, net in Other comprehensive income for the period. We assessed the impact of this 
error and concluded that it was not material to the financial statements previously issued for any interim or annual period 
and the correction was not material to the annual financial statements for 2018.

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. 

Xerox 2018 Annual Report      65

Table of Contents 

Changes in Estimates

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 (ASUs) discussed below, the new ASUs issued by the FASB during the 
last two years did not have any significant impact on the Company.

Accounting Standard Updates to be Adopted:

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (ASC Topic 842), with additional amendments and targeted 
improvements being issued during 2018. This update supersedes existing lease accounting guidance found under ASC 
840, Leases (“ASC 840”) and requires the recognition of right-to-use assets and lease obligations by lessees for those 
leases currently classified as operating leases under existing lease guidance.  Leases will be classified as either finance 
or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. Short term leases with a term of 12 months 
or  less  are  not  required  to  be  recognized.  The  update  also  requires  qualitative  and  quantitative  disclosure  of  key 
information regarding the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing arrangements to increase 
transparency and comparability among companies.  The accounting for lessors does not fundamentally change with 
this update 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. Some of these conforming changes such as those related to the definition of 
lease term and minimum lease payments, may potentially result in certain lease arrangements, which are currently 
accounted for as operating leases, being classified and accounted for as sales-type leases with a corresponding up-
front recognition of equipment sales revenue.  This update is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2019.

We will adopt the guidance as of January 1, 2019 and will apply the transition option, whereby prior comparative 
periods will not be retrospectively presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements.  We will also elect the 
package of practical expedients not to reassess prior conclusions related to contracts containing leases, lease 
classification and initial direct costs and the lessee practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components 
for certain asset classes (real estate and embedded lease arrangements). We will also make a policy election to not 
recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases for all asset classes. We will elect the 
package of practical expedients from both the Lessee and Lessor prospective, to the extent applicable. 

Lessee accounting - we estimate the adoption of this update will result in an increase to assets and related liabilities of 
approximately $385 (approximately $440 undiscounted), which is consistent with prior period disclosures regarding our 
lease obligations and primarily related to leases of facilities. Lessor accounting - we estimate the adoption to increase 
equipment sales by approximately $35 in 2019 as compared to 2018. 

Financial Instruments - Credit Losses and Derivatives

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on 
Financial  Instruments,  with  additional  amendments  being  issued  in  2018.  This  update  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.  We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on our Consolidated Financial 
Statements.

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.  This update is effective for 
our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2019. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact on our 
financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Xerox 2018 Annual Report      66

Table of Contents 

Intangibles - Internal-Use Software 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal Use Software (Subtopic 
350-40), Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service 
Contract. This update aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement 
that  is  a  service  contract  with  the  requirements  for  capitalizing  implementation  costs  incurred  to  develop  or  obtain 
internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The update provides 
criteria for determining which implementation costs to capitalize as an asset related to the service contract and which 
costs  to  expense. The  capitalized  implementation  costs  are  required  to  be  expensed  over  the  term  of  the  hosting 
arrangement. The update also clarifies the presentation requirements for reporting such costs in the entity’s financial 
statements. This update is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2020. We are currently evaluating the impact 
of the adoption of ASU 2018-15 on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Income Taxes

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): 
Reclassification  of  Certain  Tax  Effects  from  Accumulated  Other  Comprehensive  Income.  The  update  allows  the 
reclassification from Accumulated other comprehensive income to Retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting 
from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("Tax Act") enacted in December 2017. Consequently, the update eliminates the stranded 
tax effects resulting from the Tax Act and will improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users. 
However, because the update only relates to the reclassification of the income tax effects of the Tax Act, the underlying 
guidance that requires that the effect of a change in tax laws or rates be included in Income from continuing operations 
is not affected. The update also requires certain disclosures about stranded tax effects. The update is effective for our 
fiscal year beginning January 1, 2019. We are still evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2018-02 and the amount 
of the reclassification from AOCL to retained earnings for the stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Act. We expect 
the tax impact to be primarily related to the amounts in AOCL from our retirement-related benefit plans.

Accounting Standard Updates Adopted in 2018:

Revenue Recognition

Refer to Note 2 - Revenue for a summary of the impacts from our adoption of ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts 
with Customers (ASC Topic 606), effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018.  

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 previous 
guidance is either unclear or did not include specific requirements. We adopted ASU 2016-15 effective for our fiscal 
year  beginning  January  1,  2018. This  update  includes  specific  guidance  that  requires  cash  collected  on  beneficial 
interests received in a sale of receivables be classified as inflows from investing activities. Formerly, those collections 
were 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 two years ended December 31, 2017, respectively. Since the 
update is required to be applied retrospectively, our reported 2017 and 2016 operating and investing cash flows were 
revised accordingly in 2018 to report these amounts as investing cash flows. There was no impact to our 2018 cash 
flows from this reporting change, due to the termination of all accounts receivable sales arrangements with an associated 
beneficial interest component during the fourth quarter of 2017. The other seven issues noted in this update did not 
have a material impact on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Additionally, in November 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows - Restricted Cash.  The 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. We adopted ASU 2016-18 effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018 and applied 
it retrospectively through a revision of previously reported amounts. We held $64, $75 and $179 of restricted cash, 
currently reported in Other current or long-term assets at December 31, 2018, December 31, 2017 and December 31, 
2016, respectively. In the prior year, 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 did not 
have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Refer to Note 13 - Supplementary 
Financial Information for additional information.

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. We elected to report 
these costs as a separate item within Other expenses, net. The update also allows only the service cost component to 
be eligible for capitalization, when applicable. We adopted ASU 2017-07 effective January 1, 2018. The presentation 
requirements of this update were required to be applied retrospectively through a revision of previously reported amounts. 
The requirement to limit capitalization to the service cost component was required to be applied prospectively. The 
adoption of this update did not 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.

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. We adopted ASU 2017-01 effective for our fiscal 
year beginning January 1, 2018, and the adoption did not have nor is it 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. We adopted ASU 2016-16 effective for 
our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018 and the adoption did not have nor is it expected to have a material impact on 
our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. 

In December 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 118 (as 
further clarified by the FASB's ASU 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to 
SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118) to provide guidance for companies that may not have completed their accounting 
for the income tax effects of the Tax Act. SAB No. 118 provides for a provisional one-year measurement period for 
entities to finalize their accounting for certain income tax effects related to the Tax Act. SAB No. 118 provides guidance 
where: (i) the accounting for the income tax effect of the Tax Act is complete and reported in the Tax Act's enactment 
period, (ii) the accounting for the income tax effect of the Tax Act is incomplete and reported as provisional amounts 
based on reasonable estimates (to the extent determinable) subject to adjustments during a limited measurement period 
until  complete,  and  (iii)  accounting  for  the  income  tax  effect  of  the Tax Act  is  not  reasonably  estimable  (no  related 
provisional amounts are reported in the enactment period) and entities would continue to apply accounting based on 
tax law provisions in effect prior to the Tax Act enactment until provisional amounts are reasonably estimable. SAB No. 
118 requires disclosure of the reasons for incomplete accounting additional information or analysis needed, among 
other relevant information.

During the fourth quarter 2017, we recorded an estimated non-cash charge of $400 reflecting our provisional estimated 
impact associated with the provisions of the Tax Act based on currently available information. In 2018, we adjusted our 
provisional estimate by an additional charge of $89 reflecting certain positions taken on our filed 2017 U.S. income tax 
return as well as consideration of additional guidance from the U.S. Treasury and Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The 
adjustment  includes  changes  to  the  determination  of  the  one-time  deemed  repatriation  tax  as  well  as  additional 
remeasurement of our U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities to the lower enacted statutory tax rate. The total charge 
of $489 related to the Tax Act may change in the future based on new guidance being issued or changes in our expected 
filing positions.

Summary of Accounting Policies 

Refer to Note 2 - Revenue for a summary of our Revenue Recognition policies subsequent to the adoption of ASU 
2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC Topic 606), effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 
2018. 

Revenue Recognition (Policies prior to the adoption of ASU 2014-09 - ASC Topic 606)

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: 

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. 

Xerox 2018 Annual Report      69

Table of Contents 

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 
developed based upon a variety of factors including local prevailing rates in the marketplace and the customer’s credit 
history, industry and credit class. We reassess our pricing interest rates quarterly based on changes in the local prevailing 
rates in the marketplace. These interest rates have generally been adjusted if the rates vary by 25 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.

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 vendor-specific objective evidence (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 $72, $90 and $95 in for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, 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 Assets. 
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 additional information on our 
receivable sales.

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. Refer to Note 8 - Inventories and Equipment on Operating Leases, Net for further discussion.

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 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 

Xerox 2018 Annual Report      72

Table of Contents 

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, based on balances as of October 
1st, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist or if a decision is made to sell or exit a business. 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 perform an assessment of goodwill, utilizing either a qualitative or quantitative impairment test. The qualitative 
impairment test assesses several factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the 
entity is less than its carrying amount. If we conclude it is more likely than not that the fair value of the entity is less 
than its carrying amount, a quantitative fair value test is performed. In certain circumstances, we may also bypass 
the qualitative test and proceed directly to a quantitative impairment test. In a quantitative impairment test, we assess 
goodwill by comparing the carrying amount of the entity to its fair value. Fair value of the entity is determined by 
using a weighted combination of an income approach and a market approach. 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 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 

Xerox 2018 Annual Report      73

Table of Contents 

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. We 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 Remeasurement

The functional currency for most of our 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 as well as foreign subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies. For these subsidiaries, non-monetary 
foreign currency assets and liabilities are translated using historical rates, while monetary assets and liabilities are 
translated at current rates, with the U.S. dollar effects of rate changes recorded in Currency (gains) and losses within 
Other expenses, net together with other foreign currency remeasurements.

Note 2 – Revenue

Adoption of ASU 2014-09:

On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC Topic 606), which 
superseded nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASC Topic 606 
is to recognize revenue 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. ASC Topic 606 defines a five-step process 
to recognize revenue and requires more judgment and estimates within the revenue recognition process than required 
under previous 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. 

We adopted this standard using the modified retrospective method of adoption. Under ASC Topic 606, based on the 
nature of our contracts and consistent with prior practice, we recognize revenue upon invoicing the customer for the 
large majority of our revenue. Additionally, the unit of accounting, that is, the identification of performance obligations, 
is consistent with prior revenue recognition practice. Accordingly, the adoption of this standard did not 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 impacted 
by the adoption of ASC Topic 606. The only change of significance identified in our adoption involves a change in the 
classification of certain revenues that were previously reported in Services revenues. These revenues relate to certain 
analyst  services  performed  in  connection  with  the  installation  of  equipment  that  are  being  considered  part  of  the 
equipment sale performance obligation in 2018. Accordingly, in 2018 these revenues are now reported as part of Sales. 
As a result of this change, $34 of revenue was recorded, for the year ended December 31, 2018, as Sales, which 
would have been previously recorded as Services revenue in prior periods. 

Another change identified upon adoption was with respect to deferred contract costs, which include incremental costs 
of obtaining a contract and costs to fulfill a contract. Deferred contract costs had been minimal under our prior 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 ASC Topic  606  and ASC Topic  340-40  "Contracts  with  Customers",  upon  adoption,  we 
recorded a transition asset of $153, and a net of tax increase of $117 to Retained earnings, 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.

The impacts of adopting ASC Topic 606 on our Consolidated Balance Sheets were as follows:

Revenue Recognition Summary:

We generate revenue through the sale of equipment, supplies and maintenance and printing services. Revenue is 
measured  based  on  consideration  specified  in  a  contract  with  a  customer  and  is  recognized  when  we  satisfy  a 
performance obligation by transferring control of a product to a customer or in the period the customer benefits from 
the service. With the exception of our sales-type lease arrangements, our invoices to the customer, which normally 
have  short-term  payment  terms,  are  typically  aligned  to  the  transfer  of  goods  or  as  services  are  rendered  to  our 
customers and therefore in most cases we recognize revenue based on our right to invoice customers. As a result of 
the application of this practical expedient for the substantial portion of our revenue, the disclosure of the value of 
unsatisfied performance obligations for our services is not required.

Significant judgments primarily include the identification of performance obligations in our Document management 
services arrangements as well the pattern of delivery for those services. 

More specifically, revenue related to our products and services is generally recognized as follows:

Equipment: Revenues from the sale of equipment directly to end customers, including those from sales-type leases 
(see below), are recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with our customer are satisfied and control 
has been transferred to the customer. For equipment placements that require us to install the product at the customer 

Xerox 2018 Annual Report      75

Table of Contents 

location, revenue is normally 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. Revenue from the equipment performance obligation also includes certain analyst training 
services performed in connection with the installation or delivery of the equipment.

Maintenance services: We provide maintenance agreements on our equipment that include service and supplies for 
which the customer may pay a base minimum plus a price-per-page charge for usage. In arrangements that include 
minimums, those minimums are normally set below the customer’s estimated page volumes and are not considered 
substantive. These agreements are sold as part of a bundled lease arrangement or through distributors and resellers.  
We normally account for these maintenance agreements as a single performance obligation for printing services being 
delivered in a series with delivery being measured by usage as billed to the customer. Accordingly, revenue on these 
agreements are normally recognized as billed to the customer over the term of the agreements based on page volumes.  
A substantial portion of our products are sold with full service maintenance agreements, accordingly, other than the 
product warranty obligations associated with certain of our entry level products, we do not have any significant warranty 
obligations, including any obligations under customer satisfaction programs. 

Document management services: Revenues associated with our document management services are generally 
recognized as printing services are rendered, which is generally on the basis of the number of images produced. 
Revenues on unit-price contracts are recognized at the contractual selling prices as work is completed by the customer. 
We account for these arrangements as a single performance obligation for printing services being delivered in a series 
with delivery being measured by usage as billed to the customer.  

Our services contracts may also include the sale or lease of equipment and software. In these instances, we follow 
the  policies  noted  for  Equipment  or  Software  Revenues  and  separately  report  the  revenue  associated  with  these 
performance obligations. Certain document management services arrangements may also include an embedded lease 
of  equipment.  In  these  instances,  the  revenues  associated  with  the  lease  are  recognized  in  accordance  with  the 
requirements for lease accounting. 

Sales  to  distributors  and  resellers:  We  utilize  distributors  and  resellers  to  sell  our  equipment,  supplies  and 
maintenance services to end-user customers. We refer to our distributor and reseller network as our two-tier distribution 
model. Revenues on sales to distributors and resellers are generally recognized when products are shipped to such 
distributors and resellers. However, revenue is only recognized when the distributor or reseller has economic substance 
apart from the Company such that collectability is probable and we have no further obligations related to bringing about 
the  resale,  delivery  or  installation  of  the  product  that  would  impact  transfer  of  control.  Revenues  associated  with 
maintenance  agreements  sold  through  distributors  and  resellers  to  end  customers  are  recognized  in  a  consistent 
manner to maintenance services. Revenue that may be subject to a reversal of revenue due to contractual terms or 
uncertainties is not recorded as revenue until the contractual provisions lapse or the uncertainties are resolved. 

Distributors and resellers participate in various rebate, price-protection, cooperative marketing and other programs, 
and we estimate the variable consideration associated with these programs and record those amounts 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  are  not  obligated  to  provide  financing  and  we  compete  with  other  third-party  leasing 
companies with respect to the lease financing provided to these end-user customers.

Bundled Lease Arrangements: A significant portion of our direct sales of equipment to end customers are made 
through bundled lease arrangements that typically include equipment, maintenance 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. 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.

Revenues under bundled arrangements are allocated considering the relative standalone 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 

Xerox 2018 Annual Report      76

Table of Contents 

service revenue. The remaining amounts are allocated to the equipment and financing elements, which are subjected 
to the accounting estimates noted below under “Leases”.

Leases: The two primary lease accounting provisions we assess for the classification of 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.  Equipment 
placements included in arrangements meeting these conditions are accounted for as sales-type leases and revenue 
is recognized as noted above for Equipment. Equipment placements included in arrangements that do not meet these 
conditions are accounted for as operating leases and revenue is recognized over the term 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.

Our lease pricing interest rates, which are used in determining customer payments in a bundled lease arrangement, 
are developed based upon a variety of factors including local prevailing rates in the marketplace and the customer’s 
credit history, industry and credit class. We reassess our pricing interest rates quarterly based on changes in the local 
prevailing rates in the marketplace. These interest rates have generally been adjusted if the rates vary by 25 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.

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 performance obligations if determined to be material in relation to the overall arrangement. 
Revenue from software is not a significant component of our Total revenues.

Supplies: Supplies revenue is recognized upon transfer of control to the customer, generally upon utilization or shipment 
to the customer in accordance with the sales contract terms.

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.

Other Revenue Recognition Policies

Contract assets and liabilities:  We normally do not have contract assets, which are primarily unbilled accounts 
receivable that are conditional on something other than the passage of time. Our contract liabilities, which represent 
billings in excess of revenue recognized, are primarily related to advanced billings for maintenance and other services 
to be performed and were approximately $116 and $91 at December 31, 2018 and January 1, 2018, respectively.  The 
majority of the balance at December 31, 2018 will be amortized to revenue over approximately the next 30 months.

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

For the year ended December 31, 2018, the incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract of $84 were deferred and 
the related amortization was $95. The balance of deferred incremental direct costs net of accumulated amortization 
at December 31, 2018 was $172. This amount is expected to be amortized over its estimated period of benefit, which 
we currently estimate to be approximately four years. 

We may also incur costs associated with our services arrangements to generate or enhance resources and assets 
that  will  be  used  to  satisfy  our  future  performance  obligations  included  in  these  arrangements.  These  costs  are 
considered contract fulfillment costs and are amortized over the contractual service period of the arrangement to cost 
of  services.  In  addition,  we  also  provide  inducements  to  certain  customers  in  various  forms,  including  contractual 
credits, which are capitalized and amortized as a reduction of revenue over the term of the contract. Amounts deferred 
associated with contract fulfillment costs and inducements were $12 at December 31, 2018 and related amortization 
was $5 for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Xerox 2018 Annual Report      78

Table of Contents 

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

Revenue-based Taxes: Revenue-based taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are both imposed on and 
concurrent with specific revenue-producing transactions, and that are collected by the Company from a customer, are 
excluded from revenue. The primary revenue-based taxes are sales tax and value-added tax (VAT).

Shipping and Handling: Shipping and handling costs are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in Cost 
of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).

Note 3 – Segment and Geographic Area Reporting 

Segment Discussion 

We manage our operations on a geographic basis 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 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.

2018 Acquisitions

During 2018, Xerox did not acquire any businesses.

2017 and 2016 Acquisitions

Acquisitions in 2017 totaled $87, in cash, 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. 
Acquisitions in 2016 were $30, in cash, and related to the acquisition of two equipment dealers. The acquisitions in 
2017 and 2016 were part of the strategy to increase our small and mid-sized (SMB) coverage through resellers and 
partners (including multi-brand dealers) and continued distribution acquisitions.

2017 and 2016 Summary

All of our 2017 and 2016 acquisitions resulted in 100% ownership of the acquired companies. The operating results 
of the 2017 and 2016 acquisitions described above are not material to our financial statements and were included 
within  our  results  from  the  respective  acquisition  dates. The  purchase  prices  for  these  acquisitions  were  primarily 
allocated to intangible assets and goodwill based on third-party valuations and management's estimates. The primary 
elements that generated the goodwill are the value of synergies and the acquired assembled workforce. Refer to Note 
11  -  Goodwill  and  Intangible Assets,  Net  for  additional  information.  Our  2017  acquisitions  contributed  aggregate 
revenues from their respective acquisition dates of approximately $79 and $54 to our 2018 and 2017 total revenues, 
respectively.  Our  2016  acquisitions  contributed  aggregate  revenues  from  their  respective  acquisition  dates  of 
approximately $27, $26 and $14 to our 2018, 2017 and 2016 total revenues, respectively.

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 Incorporated 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.

In connection with the Separation, Conduent made a net cash 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.

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

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. The accounts receivable sold are generally short-term trade receivables with payment due dates of less 
than 60 days. During 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.

Of the accounts receivable sold and derecognized from our balance sheet, $131 and $161 remained uncollected as 
of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Accounts receivable sales activity was as follows:

financial  institution,  which  then  makes  payments  to  us  to  settle  the  customer's  receivable.  In  these  instances,  we  ensure  the  sale  of  the 
receivables are bankruptcy-remote and the payment made to us is without recourse. The activity associated with these arrangements is not 
reflected in this disclosure, as payments under these arrangements have not been material and these are customer directed arrangements.

(2)  For 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.

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 2018 and 2017. 
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 $18 in 2018 as compared to $11 in 2017.

In the first quarter 2016, as a result of an internal reorganization, a U.S. leasing unit previously classified as Other was reclassified to the 
U.S. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
Includes developing market countries and smaller units.
Includes the impacts of foreign currency translation and adjustments to reserves necessary to reflect events of non-payment such as customer 
accommodations and contract terminations.

(4)  Total Finance receivables exclude the allowance for credit losses of $92 and $108 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

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%.

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. 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. Due to the repurchase, there was no remaining balance of beneficial interests 
at December 31, 2017.

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 $1,360 at December 31, 2018, differs from our implied 25% interest 
in the underlying net assets, or $1,452, 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 with 
intercompany sales. These adjustments may result in recorded equity income that is different from that implied by our 
25% ownership interest. In addition, the Equity in net income of Fuji Xerox for the three years ended December 31, 
2018 includes after-tax restructuring and other charges of $95, $10 and $3, respectively.

In 2018, in connection with the audits of Fuji Xerox’s fiscal year-end financial statements as of and for the years ended 
March 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018 out-of-period adjustments and misstatements were identified. These adjustments and 
misstatements were to the previously reported Net income of Fuji Xerox for the period from 2010 through 2017 and 
were incremental to the items that had been identified by the IIC (or Fujifilm's independent investigation committee 
completed in June 2017). These incremental adjustments primarily related to Fuji Xerox’s Asia Pacific subsidiaries and 
involved improper revenue recognition, including revenue associated with leasing transactions, additional provisions 
for  bad  debt  allowances  and  other  asset  impairments.  In  certain  instances,  some  of  the  adjustments  related  to 
inappropriate  accounting  and  reporting  practices  in  the  Fuji  Xerox  Asia  Pacific  subsidiaries  where  previous 
misstatements were identified. 

Fuji Xerox recorded a cumulative charge of JPY 12 billion (approximately $110 based on the Yen/U.S. Dollar average 
exchange rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 of 108.07) in their net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 
(our first quarter 2018) related to the correction of these adjustments and misstatements. Our recognition of 25% of 
Fuji Xerox’s net loss for Xerox’s first quarter 2018 included an approximately $28 charge related to these adjustments 
and misstatements. We determined that the impact of the out-of-period misstatements was not material to Xerox’s 
Consolidated  Financial  Statements  for  any  individual  prior  quarter  or  year  and  the  adjustment  to  correct  the 
misstatements was not material to our full year 2018 results.

Transactions with Fuji Xerox

We receive dividends from Fuji Xerox, which are reflected as a reduction in our investment. Additionally, we have a 
Technology Agreement with Fuji Xerox whereby we receive royalty payments for their use of our Xerox brand trademark, 
as well as rights to access our patent portfolio in exchange for access to their patent portfolio. These payments are 
included in Services, maintenance and rentals revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). We also 
have arrangements with Fuji Xerox whereby we purchase inventory from and sell inventory to Fuji Xerox. Pricing of 
the transactions under these arrangements is based upon terms the Company believes to be negotiated at arm's 
length. Our purchase commitments with Fuji Xerox are in the normal course of business and typically have a lead time 
of three months. In addition, we pay Fuji Xerox and they pay us for unique research and development costs.

Transactions with Fuji Xerox were as follows:

Note 12 – Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges

We engage in restructuring actions, including Project Own It, as well as other transformation efforts in order to reduce 
our cost structure, realign it to the changing nature of our business and to achieve operating efficiencies. In addition, 
these actions are expected to simplify our organizational structure, upgrade our IT infrastructure and redesign business 
processes. As part of our efforts to streamline operations and reduce costs, our restructuring actions may also include 
the off-shoring or outsourcing of certain operations, services and other functions. 

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.

Bridge Facility

Refer to Note 25 - Fuji Xerox Transaction for additional information regarding the bridge loan facility that was terminated

Credit Facility

We have a $1.8 billion unsecured revolving Credit Facility with a group of lenders, which matures in August 2022. The 
Credit Facility includes a $250 letter of credit sub-facility as well as an accordion feature that allows us to increase 
(from time to time, with willing lenders) the overall size of the facility by $750. We also have the right to request a one 
year extension on any anniversary of the restated amendment date. 

Xerox 2018 Annual Report      93

 
 
 
 
 
 
Table of Contents 

Proceeds from any borrowings under the Credit Facility can be used to provide working capital for the Company and 
its subsidiaries and for general corporate purposes. The Credit Facility is available, without sublimit, to certain of our 
qualifying subsidiaries. Our obligations under the Credit Facility are unsecured and are not currently guaranteed by 
any of our subsidiaries. Any domestic subsidiary that guarantees more than $100 of Xerox Corporation debt must also 
guaranty our obligations under the Credit Facility. In the event that any of our subsidiaries borrows under the Credit 
Facility, its borrowings thereunder would be guaranteed by us. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, we had no outstanding 
borrowings or letters of credit under the amended and restated Credit Facility. 

Borrowings under the 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, 2018, the applicable all-in spreads for 
the Base Rate and LIBOR borrowing were 0.375% and 1.375%, respectively.

An annual facility fee is payable to each lender in the 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, 2018 the applicable rate is 0.25%.

The  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 Credit Facility contains various events of default that are substantially similar to those included in the prior, 2014  
$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, the Credit Facility was amended to modify the “change of control” provisions to permit the 
consummation of the Fuji Xerox Transaction. Refer to Note 25 - Fuji Xerox Transaction for additional details regarding 
the transaction. 

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 $1.8 billion. At this time, based on our current debt credit rating, this program is not available for 
use.

Interest

Interest paid on our short-term and long-term debt amounted to $231, $268 and $352 for the years ended December 31,

Includes Finance income, as well as other interest income that is included in Other expenses, net in the Consolidated Statements of Income 
(Loss). 

Equipment financing interest is determined based on an estimated cost of funds, applied against the estimated level 
of debt required to support our net finance receivables. The estimated cost of funds is based on the interest cost 
associated with actual borrowings determined to be in support of the leasing business. The estimated level of debt 
continues to be based on an assumed 7 to 1 leverage ratio of debt/equity as compared to our average finance receivable 
balance during the applicable period. 

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 2018, 2017 and 2016, the amortization of these fair 
value adjustments reduced interest expense by $3, $13 and $19, respectively. The remaining unamortized balance 
associated with terminated swaps was $2 at December 31, 2018.

Fair Value Hedges

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, pay variable/received fixed interest rate swaps with notional amounts of $300 and 
$300, respectively, and net (liability) asset fair value of $(3) and $1, 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 for the three years ended 
December 31, 2018.

The downgrade of the Company to non-investment grade is a termination event under one of our interest rate swap 
agreements with a notional amount of $100 and net liability fair value of $(1). While the counterparty has not 
provided a notice of a termination event, we are discussing potential actions regarding this interest rate swap.

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,  2018,  we  had  outstanding  forward  exchange  and  purchased  option  contracts  with  gross  notional 
values of $1,103, with terms of less than 12 months. Approximately 79% of these contracts at December 31, 2018
mature within three months, 10% in three to six months and 11% in six to twelve months. 

The following is a summary of the primary hedging positions and corresponding fair values as of December 31, 2018:

Foreign Currency Cash Flow Hedges 

We  designate  a  portion  of  our  foreign  currency  derivative  contracts  as  cash  flow  hedges  of  our  foreign  currency-
denominated inventory purchases, sales and expenses. No amount of ineffectiveness was recorded in the 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 asset (liability) fair value of these contracts were 
$8 and $(14) as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

For the three years ended December 31, 2018 no amount of ineffectiveness was recorded in the Consolidated Statements 
of Income (Loss) for these designated cash flow hedges.  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, 2018, a net after-tax gain of $4 was recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss associated 
with our cash flow hedging activity. The entire balance is expected to be reclassified into Net income within the next 12 
months, providing an offsetting economic impact against the underlying anticipated transactions.

Non-Designated Derivative Instruments Gains (Losses)

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

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

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

Summary of Other Financial Assets and Liabilities

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

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

Note 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 $258, $257 and $296 and interest (income) expense 
directly allocated to TRA participant accounts of $(46), $127 and $83 for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. 
(2)  Expected return on plan assets includes expected investment (loss) income on non-TRA assets of $(357), $321 and $356 and actual investment 

(loss) income on TRA assets of $(46), $127 and $83 for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

(3)  Prior year amounts have been revised to reflect additional cost for previously excluded plans.
(4)  The non-U.S. plans Net actuarial (gain) loss for 2018 reflects an out-of-period adjustment in third quarter 2018 of $(53) to correct an overstated 
benefit obligation for our U.K. Final Salary Pension Plan at December 31, 2017. Refer to Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of 
Significant Accounting Policies for additional information regarding this adjustment.

(5)  Amounts represent the pre-tax effect included in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Refer to Note 23 - Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) 

for the related tax effects and the net of tax amounts.

The  net  actuarial  loss  and  prior  service  credit  for  the  defined  benefit  pension  plans  that  will  be  amortized  from 
Accumulated  other  comprehensive  loss  into  net  periodic  benefit  cost  over  the  next  fiscal  year  are  $(63)  and  $4, 
respectively, excluding amounts that may be recognized through settlement losses. The net actuarial gain and prior 
service credit for the retiree health benefit plans that will be amortized from Accumulated other comprehensive loss 
into net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year are $3 and $76, respectively. 

Plan Amendments 

Pension:

On October 26, 2018, the High Court of Justice in the United Kingdom (the "High Court") ruled that Lloyds Bank PLC 
was required to equalize benefits payable to men and women under its U.K. defined benefit pension plans by amending 
those plans to increase the pension benefits payable to participants that accrued such benefits during the period from 
1990 to 1997. The inequalities arose from statutory differences in the retirement ages and rates of accrual of benefits 
for men and women related to Guaranteed Minimum Pension ("GMP") benefits that are included in U.K. defined benefit 
pension plans. 

Based on the above ruling, we currently estimate the cost of equalization under the minimum cost approach permitted 
by the High Court’s ruling to be approximately 1.2% of our U.K. defined benefit plan obligation at December 31, 2018 
or approximately GBP 33 million (approximately USD $42). This increase in the benefit obligation was recorded as a 

Xerox 2018 Annual Report      102

 
 
 
Table of Contents 

plan amendment in 2018 and will be amortized as prior service cost over 24 years (approximately USD $2 per year) 
through 2019 and future years’ Net periodic benefit costs. Although the recorded impact reflects our best estimate, 
there are several significant uncertainties in our estimate and therefore it is subject to future change and adjustment. 
In particular, the cost is very sensitive to i) the method of GMP equalization; ii) actuarial assumptions and market 
conditions; iii) the benefit structure of our plan and operational practices; and iv) the demographic profile of our plan. 
In addition, we are continuing to evaluate the acceptable methodologies that the High Court has determined, and we 
still need to discuss and agree upon the appropriate methodology to use with our plan trustees.

Retiree Health Plans:

In December 2018, we amended our Canadian Retiree Health Plan to eliminate coverage for certain future and existing 
retirees. This negative plan amendment resulted in a reduction in the postretirement benefit obligation of $19, which 
is expected to be amortized to future net periodic benefit costs as a prior service credit and is expected to reduce 2019 
costs by approximately $2. The amendment also resulted in an immaterial curtailment gain and is not expected to have 
a material impact on 2019 cash contributions from Xerox.  

In October 2018, we amended our U.S. Retiree Health Plan effective January 1, 2019, to reduce certain benefits for 
existing non-union retirees through the reduction or elimination of coverage or cost-sharing subsidies for retiree health 
care and life insurance costs. This negative plan amendment resulted in a reduction in the postretirement benefit 
obligation of $283, which consisted of $216 for the plan amendment and an actuarial gain of $67 related to the required 
plan remeasurement upon amendment. The amount for the plan amendment is expected to be amortized to future net 
periodic benefit costs as a prior service credit and is expected to reduce 2019 costs by approximately $70 (approximately 
$15 for the fourth quarter of 2018). The plan amendment is also expected to reduce 2019 cash contributions from 
Xerox by approximately $20.

Plan Assets

Current Allocation 

As of the 2018 and 2017 measurement dates, the global pension plan assets were $8,087 and $9,532, respectively.

Our primary Level 3 assets are Real Estate and Private Equity/Venture Capital investments. The fair value of our real 
estate investment funds are based on the Net Asset Value (NAV) of our ownership interest in the funds. NAV 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.

We have post-retirement savings and investment plans in several countries, including the U.S., the U.K. and Canada.  
In many instances, employees who participated in the defined benefit pension plans that have been amended to freeze 
future service accruals were transitioned to an enhanced defined contribution plan. In these plans employees are 
allowed to contribute a portion of their salaries and bonuses to the plans, and we match a portion of the employee 
contributions. We recorded charges related to our defined contribution plans of $66 in 2018, $67 in 2017 and $74 in 
2016. Prior year amounts have been revised to reflect additional cost for previously excluded plans.

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, 2018, 
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

Included in the balances at December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 are $8, $8 and $5, 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 $2, $5 and $10 accrued for the payment of interest and penalties 
associated with unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, 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 2011. 

Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act")

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted. 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 one-time transition tax on deemed repatriated 
earnings of foreign subsidiaries.

During 2017, we recorded an estimated non-cash provisional charge of $400 reflecting our provisional estimated impact 
associated  with  the  provisions  of  the  Tax  Act  based  on  currently  available  information.  Our  estimated  charge 
incorporated assumptions made based on our interpretation of the Tax Act as well as information available at that time 
and was subject to change, possibly materially, as we completed our analysis and received additional clarification and 
implementation guidance. During 2018, we adjusted our provisional estimate by an additional charge of $89 reflecting 
certain positions taken on our filed 2017 income tax return as well as consideration of additional guidance from the 
U.S. Treasury and Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The adjustments include changes to the determination of the one-
time deemed repatriation tax as well as additional remeasurement of our U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities to the 
lower enacted statutory tax rate. The total charge of $489 reflects our current estimate of the impact of the Tax Act and 
may change in the future based on new guidance being issued or changes in our expected filing positions. The $489 
charge included the following components: 

Xerox 2018 Annual Report      108

Table of Contents 

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 an estimated charge for our deemed repatriation tax 
of $195. We expect to utilize our existing foreign tax credit carryforwards to settle the estimated deemed repatriation 
tax. Our estimated charge for the Tax Act also included a charge of $99 for other tax liabilities and adjustments resulting 
from our estimate of the actual and anticipated distributions of our net accumulated foreign E&P. As a consequence 
of the Tax Act, we now no longer consider our post 1986 E&P indefinitely reinvested. On January 15, 2019, the IRS 
finalized regulations that govern the repatriation tax. We are in the process of analyzing the impacts of  these regulations 
on our financial statements. 

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  an  estimated  amount  related  to  the 
remeasurement of our deferred tax balance of approximately $195. 

In addition, effective January 1, 2018, we became subject to various provisions of the Tax Act including computations 
related to Global Intangible Low Taxed Income ("GILTI"), Foreign Derived Intangible Income ("FDII"), Base Erosion 
and Anti-Abuse Tax ("BEAT"), and IRC Section 163(j) interest limitation (Interest Limitation). Accordingly, our 2018 
effective tax rate includes the impacts for these items, which was approximately $15 on a full year basis. The estimates 
for these additional provisions of the Tax Act were made based on our current interpretation of the Tax Act as well as 
currently available information and may change as we receive additional clarification and implementation guidance.

Deferred Income Taxes

We  completed  our  analysis  of  the  impacts  of  U.S.  tax  reform  in  the  fourth  quarter  of  2018. Accordingly,  we  have 
recognized the tax consequences of our estimated deemed repatriated foreign earnings based on post-1986 E&P and 
management has no specific plans to indefinitely reinvest these foreign earnings as of the balance sheet date. However, 
we  have  not  provided  deferred  taxes  on  our  undistributed  pre-1987  E&P  of  approximately  $1.5  billion  as  such 
undistributed earnings have been determined to be indefinitely reinvested and we currently do not plan to initiate any 
action that would precipitate a deferred tax impact. Additionally, we have also not provided deferred taxes on the outside 
basis differences in our investments in foreign subsidiaries that are unrelated to undistributed earnings. These basis 
differences  are  also  indefinitely  reinvested. A  determination  of  the  unrecognized  deferred  taxes  related  to  these 
components is not practicable.

_____________
(1)  Represents the deferred tax liabilities recorded in Other long-term liabilities - refer to Note 13 - Supplementary Financial Information.

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, 2018, 2017 and 2016 
was a decrease of $38, an increase of $19 and an increase of $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, 2018, we had tax credit carryforwards of $254 available to offset future income taxes, of which $1 
are available to carryforward indefinitely while the remaining $253 will expire 2019 through 2039 if not utilized. We also 
had net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes of $517 that will expire 2019 through 2039, if not utilized, 
and $1.7 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, 
2018, we have accrued our estimate of liability incurred under our indemnification arrangements and guarantees. 

Brazil Contingencies

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

As of December 31, 2018, the total amounts related to the unreserved portion of the tax contingencies, inclusive of 
related  interest,  amounted  to  approximately  $500  with  the  decrease  from  the  December 31,  2017  balance  of 
approximately $585, primarily related to currency and closed cases partially offset by interest. With respect to the 
unreserved balance of approximately $500, 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, 2018, we had $58 of escrow cash deposits for the tax matters we are disputing and 
additional letters of credit and surety bonds of $104 and $106, respectively, which include associated indexation. There 
were no liens on Brazilian assets as of December 31, 2018. Generally, any escrowed amounts would be refundable 
and any liens would be removed to the extent the matters are resolved in our favor. We are also involved in certain 
disputes  with  contract  and  former  employees.  Exposures  related  to  labor  matters  are  not  material  to  the  financial 
statements as of December 31, 2018. 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

Pending Litigation Relating to the Fuji Transaction:  

1.  Deason v. Fujifilm Holdings Corp., et al.; Deason v. Xerox Corp., et al.; In re Xerox Corporation Consolidated 

Shareholder Litigation:

In February 2018, five complaints (the "Fuji Transaction Shareholder Lawsuits"), including four putative class actions 
(which have been consolidated), were filed by Xerox shareholders in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, 
County (the "Court") in connection with the proposed transaction to combine Xerox and Fuji Xerox (the “Fuji Transaction”) 
(refer to Note 25 - Fuji Xerox Transaction). 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 

Xerox 2018 Annual Report      111

Table of Contents 

fiduciary  duties  in  negotiating,  approving,  and  purportedly  making  false  and  misleading  disclosures  about  the  Fuji 
Transaction, and that Fujifilm aided and abetted those breaches. The complaint in one of the actions further alleges 
that Xerox and the director defendants engaged in common law fraud by purportedly failing to disclose information 
about  the  joint  venture  agreements  between  Xerox  and  Fujifilm. The  Fuji Transaction  Shareholder  Lawsuits  seek 
injunctive relief preventing the previously proposed transactions, and/or additional disclosures by Xerox’s directors, 
unspecified damages from Xerox’s directors, costs and attorneys’ fees, as well as other relief.

One of the Fuji Transaction Shareholder Lawsuits was brought by Darwin Deason, a Xerox shareholder ("Deason I"). 
Another complaint was filed by Mr. Deason against Xerox and its directors in the same Court on March 2, 2018 ("Deason 
II") alleging that defendants breached their fiduciary duties by refusing Mr. Deason’s request for a waiver of the deadline 
for nomination of a new slate of Xerox directors. In Deason II, Mr. Deason sought to enjoin Xerox and its directors from 
enforcing Xerox’s advance notice by-laws, thereby allowing Mr. Deason to proceed with the nominations, as well as 
costs, fees, and other relief.

On April 27, 2018, the Court issued decisions and orders granting plaintiffs’ preliminary injunction motions, which (i) 
enjoined Xerox from “taking any further action to consummate the change of control transaction between Xerox and 
Fuji that was announced on January 31, 2018 pending a final determination of the claims asserted in the underlying 
action;”  (ii)  enjoined  Xerox  from  enforcing  its  advance  notice  bylaw  provision  requiring  shareholders  to  nominate 
directors for election at the 2018 annual shareholder meeting by December 11, 2017; and (iii) required Xerox to waive 
such advance notice bylaw provision to permit the noticing of a slate of director nominees for election at the 2018 
annual shareholder meeting, and denying defendants’ motions to dismiss.

On  May  1,  2018,  Xerox  entered  into  a  Director Appointment,  Nomination  and  Settlement Agreement  (the  “Initial 
Settlement Agreement”) with Mr. Deason and Carl C. Icahn and certain of his affiliates who were also Xerox shareholders 
(the "Icahn Group"), among others, that would have resolved Deason I, Deason II and the pending proxy contest in 
connection with Xerox’s 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The Initial Settlement Agreement expired by its terms 
on May 3, 2018 without becoming effective.

On May 7, 2018, defendants filed with the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Appellate Division, First Judicial 
Department, notices of appeal of, and motions to stay pending appeal, the lower Court’s decision and order.  Defendants 
also moved the appellate court for interim relief ordering that the appeal be heard on an expedited basis.  At a hearing 
before the appellate court on May 7, 2018, the appellate court ruled that the appeals would be heard on an expedited 
basis and granted a partial interim stay allowing Xerox and Fujifilm to take steps to seek regulatory approvals related 
to the Fuji Transaction pending a ruling from the appellate court on defendants’ motions to stay pending appeal.

On  May  13,  2018,  a  second  Director Appointment,  Nomination  and  Settlement Agreement  (the  "Final  Settlement 
Agreement") with respect to Deason I, Deason II and the pending proxy contest in connection with Xerox's 2018 Annual 
Meeting of Shareholders that was initiated by the Icahn Group was signed on behalf of Mr. Deason, the Icahn Group 
and all defendants except Fujifilm, and a memorandum of understanding regarding settlement of the putative class 
case was signed by all defendants except Fujifilm. Pursuant to the settlements, the settling defendants withdrew their 
appeal and motion to stay in Deason I and Deason II.  The settling defendants also withdrew their motion to stay in 
the putative class case. The Court entered a stipulation of discontinuance as to the settling parties in Deason II on 
May 14, 2018, and agreed on June 22, 2018 to do the same in Deason I.  

On June 14, 2018, Fujifilm filed answers in Deason I and the putative class case, along with cross-claims against the 
members of the Xerox Board (as constituted before May 13, 2018) and a third-party complaint against Xerox director 
Jonathan Christodoro, seeking contribution for any potential award against Fujifilm for aiding and abetting purported 
breaches of fiduciary duties.

On June 19, 2018, the putative class plaintiffs filed a motion for preliminary approval of a stipulation of settlement that 
would resolve the claims asserted by the plaintiffs in the putative class case against all defendants, other than Fujifilm.  
Carmen Ribbe, the plaintiff in the below derivative action, and Fujifilm filed oppositions to the motion on July 10, 2018.  

On June 22, 2018, the Court entered an order denying a joint motion by the putative class plaintiffs and the settling 
defendants to dissolve the injunction in the putative class case as against the settling defendants, and entered an 
order denying Fujifilm’s motion to dissolve the injunctions in the putative class case and Deason I in their entirety.

On July 16, 2018, the Court held a hearing concerning the putative class plaintiffs’ motion for preliminary approval of 
the settlement in the putative class case. The Court indicated that it was not inclined to consider motions for approval 
of the settlement prior to considering whether the putative class should be certified.

Xerox 2018 Annual Report      112

Table of Contents 

On August 2, 2018, the Appellate Division entered orders recognizing the Xerox defendants’ withdrawal of their appeal 
in the Deason cases and denying all appellants’ motions to stay pending determination of appeals in the Deason and 
putative class cases.

On August 2, 2018, the Appellate Division entered orders (i) at their request, deeming withdrawn the Xerox defendants’ 
appeal and motion to stay in the Deason cases; (ii) upon their request, deeming withdrawn the Xerox defendants’ 
motion to stay, pending determination of appeal, the putative class case; and (iii) denying Fujifilm’s motion to stay 
pending determination of its appeals in the Deason and putative case cases.

On September 21, 2018, putative class plaintiffs filed a motion for certification of a settlement class and a motion to 
transmit notice of the proposed settlement to the proposed class.  On October 17, 2018, derivative plaintiff Carmen 
Ribbe and Fujifilm filed oppositions to the putative class plaintiffs’ motion to transmit notice to the proposed class. The 
class has not yet been certified, and preliminary approval has not been granted.

The Appellate Division heard oral argument on September 25, 2018 on Fujifilm’s appeal of the Court’s decision.  On 
October 16, 2018, the Appellate Division entered a decision and order reversing the Court’s rulings, ordering that the 
claims brought against Fujifilm in the cases by Mr. Deason and the purported class be dismissed, and further ordering 
that the preliminary injunction of the proposed Fuji Transaction be dissolved (the “Appellate Decision and Order”).

On November 15, 2018, the putative class plaintiffs filed with the Appellate Division a motion seeking the opportunity 
to reargue Fujifilm’s appeal or, in the alternative, for leave to appeal the Appellate Decision and Order to the New York 
State Court of Appeals.

On December 6, 2018, pursuant to the Appellate Decision and Order, the Court entered a judgment dismissing the 
complaints against Fujifilm in Deason I and the putative class case. The Court further issued orders denying the putative 
class plaintiffs’ motion for class certification, without prejudice to renewing the motion after the outcome of any appeals 
of the Appellate Decision and Order. 

On January 8, 2019, the Court entered an order staying all further proceedings in Deason I and the putative class case 
until thirty days after exhaustion of appeals, including any appeals to the New York State Court of Appeals, of the 
Appellate Decision and Order. On January 9, 2019, the Court entered an order denying the putative class plaintiffs’ 
motion to transmit notice to the proposed class, without prejudice to renewal of their motion at a later time.

On October 31, 2018 and January 3, 2019, respectively, Xerox and the Xerox director defendants in the putative class 
case filed with the Appellate Division a request and motion seeking an extension, until after any decision regarding 
approval of settlement of the putative class action, of the deadline by which to perfect their appeal of the Court’s April 
27, 2018 decision and order.

On February 21, 2019, the Appellate Division issued an order denying the putative class plaintiffs’ motion seeking to 
reargue Fujifilm’s appeal or, in the alternative, for leave to appeal the Appellate Decision and Order to the New York 
State Court of Appeals.

Xerox will vigorously defend these lawsuits to the extent that the proceedings continue as to Xerox. At this time, however, 
it is premature to make any conclusion regarding the probability of incurring material losses in these lawsuits. 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.

2.  Ribbe v. Jacobson, et al.:  

On May 24, 2018, a shareholder derivative complaint was filed with the Court by Carmen Ribbe against all defendants 
in the putative class action described above, as well as Centerview Partners, LLC ("Centerview").  Plaintiff made no 
pre-complaint demand.  The Ribbe complaint contains allegations of breaches of fiduciary duty similar to those in the 
Fuji Transaction Shareholder Lawsuits, and further alleges that, among other things, Fujifilm and Centerview aided 
and abetted those breaches, and that the directors breached their fiduciary duties and wasted corporate assets by, 
among other things, agreeing to releases of claims against them and allowing certain alleged payments in the Initial 
Settlement Agreement and the Final Settlement Agreement.  It seeks unspecified damages for Xerox, rescission or 
reformation  of  the  Final  Settlement Agreement,  restitution  of  funds  allegedly  paid  to  the  directors,  injunctive  relief 
against wrongful practices, costs and attorneys’ fees, as well as other relief.  

On August 13, 2018, the Xerox defendants and Fujifilm filed motions to dismiss or stay the complaint.

On or about August 10, 2018, the parties filed a stipulated proposed order of discontinuance without prejudice as to 
Centerview in light of a recent agreement between Centerview and Xerox. On August 27, 2018, the Court declined to 

Xerox 2018 Annual Report      113

Table of Contents 

so-order the discontinuance absent Xerox’s providing notice thereof to shareholders, and ordered the parties to confer 
regarding notice publication.

On December 6, 2018, the Court granted the Xerox defendants’ motion to dismiss and dismissed the complaint without 
prejudice.

3.  Fujifilm Holdings Corp. v. Xerox Corporation:  

On June 18, 2018, Fujifilm filed a complaint against Xerox in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New 
York, relating to the Fuji Transaction agreements. The complaint alleges that Xerox: (1) willfully breached the Fuji 
Transaction agreements by purporting to terminate them to appease Messrs. Icahn and Deason and using as a pretext 
issues with Fujifilm’s untimely submitted financials, and by settling Deason I and Deason II without notice to or consent 
by Fujifilm; (2) willfully breached the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing by failing to support and use best 
efforts to conclude the Fuji Transaction, thus depriving Fujifilm of the benefit of its bargain; and (3) effected a change 
in Xerox’s recommendation regarding the Fuji Transaction, entitling Fujifilm to terminate the Fuji Transaction agreements 
and to receive from Xerox a $183 termination fee. Fujifilm seeks a judgment for damages to be determined at trial in 
an  amount  in  excess  of  $1.0  billion  plus  punitive  damages;  a  declaration  regarding  the  alleged  change  in 
recommendation such that Fujifilm may terminate the transaction and Xerox must pay the $183 termination fee and 
other remedies; costs and attorneys’ fees; and other relief the court may deem appropriate. 

At a conference on September 24, 2018, the Court stayed all discovery pending resolution of Xerox’s motion to dismiss.  
Xerox filed its motion to dismiss on October 1, 2018.  On February 22, 2019, following oral argument, the Court denied 
the motion to dismiss.

Xerox believes the lawsuit is meritless and will vigorously defend it. At this time, however, 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.

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 alleged 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 State Healthcare’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 State Healthcare contract. 
The State alleged 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 sought recovery of actual 
damages, two times the amount of any overpayments made as a result of alleged unlawful acts, civil penalties, pre- 
and  post-judgment  interest  and  all  costs  and  attorneys’  fees. The  State  referenced  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 made substantially similar allegations and 
sought 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. On July 2, 2018, the Court denied the State of 
Texas’ motion for a determination of the adequacy of its pleadings as to Xerox or in the alternative, seeking leave to 
amend its petition to bring additional claims against Xerox.

On February 15, 2019, The State filed, without opposition, its Third Amended Petition against Conduent Business 
Services, LLC (f/k/a Xerox Business Services, LLC), Conduent State Healthcare, LLC (f/k/a Xerox State Healthcare, 
LLC, f/k/a ACS State Healthcare, LLC) and Conduent Incorporated (collectively, the “Conduent Entities”) and Xerox 
Corporation to add claims for breach of contract and negligence. On February 18, 2019, Xerox and the Conduent 
Entities entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release (“Agreement”) with the State and the HHSC to settle all 
claims arising from alleged failures by the defendants or Texas Medicaid & Healthcare Partnership to comply with 
obligations under two contracts between Conduent State Healthcare, LLC and the HHSC entered into in 2003 and 
2010. Xerox is not required to make any payment under the Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the 
Conduent Entities will pay the State $235.9 payable in installments through no later than July 31, 2021. Also pursuant 
to the Agreement, all proceedings in the lawsuit are suspended, as confirmed by an order issued by the Court on 
February 19, 2018, and the State and the HHSC will dismiss the lawsuit with prejudice and release all of the defendants 
from all of the State’s claims after the settlement amount has been paid in full. No defendant made any admission of 
liability or wrongdoing in entering into the Agreement.

Table of Contents 

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 motions were fully briefed on October 13, 
2017. On March 20, 2018, the Court entered an opinion and order granting the motions, and on March 23, 2018, the 
Court entered a judgment of dismissal and closed the case. On April 20, 2018, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal in the 
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, and the appeal was fully briefed as of November 28, 2018. Xerox will 
vigorously defend against this matter. At this time, it is premature to make any conclusion regarding the probability of 
incurring material losses in this litigation. Should developments cause a change in our determination as to an unfavorable 
outcome, or result in a final adverse judgment or settlement, there could be a material adverse effect on our results of 
operations, cash flows and financial position in the period in which such change in determination, judgment, or settlement 
occurs.

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 a 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. 
Xerox 2018 Annual Report      115

Table of Contents 

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, 
2018 were $14, $15 and $15, respectively. Total product warranty liabilities as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 were 
$6 and $7, respectively. 

Guarantees

We have issued or provided approximately $334 of guarantees as of December 31, 2018 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 (see "Brazil Contingencies); and iii) support certain contracts, primarily with public sector customers, 
which require us to provide a surety bond as a guarantee of our performance of contractual obligations. 

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

Note 20 - Preferred Stock 

Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock 

As of December 31, 2018, we had one class of preferred stock outstanding. 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. 

Xerox 2018 Annual Report      116

Table of Contents 

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  up  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.

Note 21 – Shareholders’ Equity

Preferred Stock 

We are authorized to issue approximately 22 million shares of cumulative preferred stock, $1.00 par value per share. 
Refer to Note 20 - Preferred Stock for additional information. 

Common Stock 

We have 437.5 million authorized shares of common stock, $1.00 par value per share. At December 31, 2018, 23
million shares were reserved for issuance under our incentive compensation plans, 12 million shares were reserved 
for debt to equity exchanges and 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. 

In July 2018, the Board of Directors authorized a $1.0 billion share repurchase program (exclusive of any commissions 
and other transaction fees and costs). The program replaced the $245 of authority remaining under the Company's 
previously authorized share repurchase program. In January 2019, the Board of Directors authorized an incremental 
$1.0 billion share repurchase program (exclusive of any commissions and other transaction fees and costs).

Note 22 – Stock-Based Compensation
(shares in thousands)

We  have  a  long-term  incentive  plan  whereby  eligible  employees  may  be  granted  restricted  stock  units  (RSUs), 
performance shares (PSs) and stock options (SOs). We grant stock-based compensation awards in order to continue 
to attract and retain qualified employees and to better align employees' interests with those of our shareholders. We 
grant RSUs and PSs to officers, selected executives and middle managers, and SOs to officers and selected executives 
only. Each of these awards is subject to settlement with newly issued shares of our common stock. At December 31, 
2018 and 2017, 14 million and 16 million shares, respectively, were available for grant of awards.

Stock-based compensation expense was as follows:

In 2018, the timing of our annual grant of awards was changed from July to April to better align our grant date with the 
underlying performance period related to PSs.

Restricted Stock Units: Compensation expense for RSUs is based upon the grant date market price and is recognized 
on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on management's estimate of the number of shares expected 
to vest. The 2018 grant vests as follows: 25% after one year of service, 25% after two years of service and 50% after 
three years of service from the date of grant. Prior to the 2018 grant, RSUs vested on a three-year cliff basis from the 
date of grant. Shares awarded to employees who are retirement-eligible at the date of grant, become retirement-eligible 
during the vesting period, or are terminated not-for-cause (e.g. as part of a restructuring initiative), vest based on 
service provided from the date of grant to the date of separation. 

Performance Shares: PS awards granted in 2018 were comprised of the following components: a performance-based 
component that included metrics for Revenue Growth and Free Cash Flow and a market-based component that included 
a Total Shareholder Return (TSR) metric. The metrics are equally weighted; accordingly, each PS grant is two-thirds 
performance-based (revenue and free cash flow) and one-third market-based (TSR). The performance metrics are 
independent of each other and depending on the achievement of these metrics, a recipient of a PS award is entitled 
to receive a number of shares equal to a percentage, ranging from 0% to 200% of the PS award granted. PSs vest on 
a three-year cliff basis from the date of grant. Prior to the 2018 grant, PSs were exclusively performance based and 
included metrics for Revenue Growth, Earnings per Share and Cash Flow from Operations, typically over a three-year 
performance period. 

Performance-Based  Component:  PSs  vest  contingent  upon  meeting  pre-determined  cumulative  performance 
metrics. The fair value of our PSs is based upon the grant-date market price. Compensation expense is recognized 
on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on management's estimate of the number of shares expected 
to vest. If the cumulative three-year actual results exceed the stated targets, all plan participants have the potential to 
earn additional shares of common stock up to a maximum overachievement of 100% of the original grant. If the stated 
targets are not met, any recognized compensation cost would be reversed.

As a result of the change in management in the second quarter 2018, the Board did not finalize the performance 
measures and corresponding weightings for the 2018 PS grant and therefore the plan remained discretionary through 
November 2018. Accordingly, we determined that the criteria needed to establish a grant date had not been met and 
therefore the fair value of the 2018 PS grant was revalued based on the period-end stock price for each subsequent 
reporting period. In December 2018, the Board approved and modified the performance-based metrics to a one-year 
performance period (2018), and a two-year time-based requirement (2019 and 2020). As a result of this action, we 
determined that the grant date criteria was met in December 2018, and the fair value of the award was finalized.

Market-Based Component: The TSR metric, included as part of the 2018 PS grant, was based on the percentage 
change in the Company’s stock price plus the dividends paid over the three-year measurement period. Payout for this 
portion of the PS was to be determined based on Xerox’s percentage change compared to the shareholder returns of 
the peer group of companies approved by the compensation committee of the Board (as disclosed in the 2018 annual 
proxy statement). Since the TSR portion of the PS award represents a market condition, a Monte Carlo simulation was 
used to determine the grant-date fair value. In conjunction with the Board’s approval to modify the performance-based 
metrics of the 2018 PS grant, the Board also approved a modification to the market-based metric of the award to a 
one-year performance period (2018), and a two-year time-based requirement (2019 and 2020). A summary of the key 
valuation input assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation relative to PS awards granted were as follows:

(2)  The dividend yield was calculated as the expected quarterly dividend divided by Xerox’s three-month average stock price as of the valuation

Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period based on the fair value determined 
by  the  Monte  Carlo  simulation  and,  except  in  cases  of  employee  forfeiture,  cannot  be  reversed  regardless  of 
performance. There was no impact to compensation expense as a result of the Board’s approval to modify the 2018 
TSR metric to a one-year performance period (2018) and a two-year time-based requirement (2019 and 2020).

Stock Options: The Board approved the granting of SOs as part of the 2018 plan design. Except for the conversion 
of options relating to our acquisition of Affiliated Computer Systems in 2010, we had not issued any SOs since 2004. 
Compensation expense associated with SOs is based upon the grant date fair value determined by utilizing the Black-
Scholes  (BS)  option-pricing  model  and  is  recognized  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the  vesting  period,  based  on 
management's estimate of the number of SOs expected to vest. The 2018 SOs have a contractual term of 10 years 
from the date of grant and vest as follows: 25% after one year of service, 25% after two years of service, and 50%
after three years of service from the date of grant. Similar to RSUs, SOs awarded to employees who are retirement-
eligible at the date of grant, become retirement-eligible during the vesting period, or are terminated not-for-cause (e.g. 
as part of a restructuring action), vest based on service provided from the date of grant to the date of separation. 

The  weighted  average  assumptions  used  in  the  BS  option-pricing  model  relative  to  SO  awards  were  as  follows: 

2018 Award

Expected term(1)
Expected volatility(2)
Expected dividend yield(3)
Risk-free interest rate(4)
Weighted average fair value(5)
____________
(1)  Since these SO grants are effectively part of a new program, the expected term was calculated using the "Simplified Method” under the SEC 
guidance based on the SOs vesting schedule and contractual term. We did not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable 
basis to estimate an expected term.

6.13 years
27.25%
3.25%
2.63%
5.71

$

(2)  The expected volatility was calculated based on a combination of Xerox's term-matched historical volatility and implied volatility from traded 

options.

(3)  The dividend yield was calculated as the expected quarterly dividend divided by Xerox’s three-month average stock price as of the grant date.
(4)  The risk-free interest rate was based on the zero-coupon U.S. Treasury yield curve with a maturity matched to the expected term of the SOs. 
(5)  The weighted average of fair values used to record compensation expense as determined by the BS option-pricing model. 

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.

Refer to Note 19 - Contingencies and Litigation for discussion of the Pending Litigation Relating to the Fuji Xerox 
Transaction.

Fuji Xerox Transaction Overview and Termination of Agreement

On January 31, 2018, Xerox entered into (i) 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% equity 
interest while Fujifilm holds the remaining 75% equity interest (“Fuji Xerox”), and (ii) a Subscription Agreement with 
Fujifilm (collectively, the “Transaction Agreements”). Under the terms of the Transaction Agreements, Fuji Xerox would 
have become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xerox, Xerox shareholders would have received a $2.5 billion special cash 
dividend and Xerox would have become owned 49.9% by Xerox's shareholders as of the closing date for the transaction 
and 50.1% by Fujifilm.  
The terms of the Subscription Agreement provided the Company with certain terminations rights, including (a) if the 
audited financial statements of FX deviated in any material respect from the unaudited financial statements of FX and 
its subsidiaries provided to the Company prior to the date of the Subscription Agreement and (b) if Fujifilm or FX failed 
to perform any covenant or agreement set forth in the Subscription Agreement that would cause certain conditions to 
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement not to be satisfied, which breach 
or failure to perform could not be cured or, if capable of cure, had not been cured by the earlier of 30 days following 
written notice thereof from the Company to Fujifilm. 
As a result of the failure by Fujifilm to deliver the audited financial statements of FX by April 15, 2018 and the material 
deviations reflected in the audited financial statements of FX, when delivered, the Company determined that it was in 
the best interest of the Company and its shareholders to terminate the Subscription Agreement in accordance with the 
termination rights set forth therein, taking into account other circumstances limiting the ability of the Company, Fujifilm 
and FX to consummate a transaction. On May 13, 2018, prior to entry into the Settlement Agreement discussed in 
Note  19  -  Contingencies  and  Litigation,  the  Company  delivered  written  notice  of  termination  of  the  Subscription 
Agreement to Fujifilm. By virtue of the termination of the Subscription Agreement, the Redemption Agreement terminated 
automatically. The Company's termination of the Transaction Agreements is the subject of pending litigation.
The Company continues to maintain existing commercial relationships with FX and Fujifilm, including, as part of the 
following agreements: (i) the Joint Enterprise Contract, between the Company and Fujifilm, dated March 30, 2001, (ii)
the Technology Agreement, dated April 1, 2006, by and between the Company and FX and (iii) the Master Program 
Agreement made and entered into as of September 9, 2013 by and between the Company and FX. On June 25, 2018, 
the Company disclosed to Fujifilm that it does not currently plan to renew the Technology Agreement when it expires 
in 2021. Xerox’s goals include sourcing products, parts and supplies from the most competitive suppliers to support 
the needs of its customers. 

Bridge Facility Termination

On January 31, 2018, Xerox entered into a Commitment Letter with Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Morgan Stanley 
Senior Funding, Inc., which provided a commitment for a $2.5 billion unsecured bridge loan facility that would have 
been available for Xerox to pay the special one-time cash dividend of $2.5 billion to existing shareholders of Xerox in 
connection with the Transaction Agreements, as described above.

Concurrent with the termination of the Transaction Agreements, the commitment to provide the unsecured bridge loan 
facility was terminated in the second quarter 2018 and, as a result, the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs of 
$16 were written-off.

Investment in Affiliates, at Equity in the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. 

(2)  The sum of quarterly earnings per share may differ from the full-year amounts due to rounding, or in the case of diluted earnings per share, 

because securities that are anti-dilutive in certain quarters may not be anti-dilutive on a full-year basis.

Item 9.  Changes In and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial 

Disclosure

None. 

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

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 access to the Audit Committee. 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management evaluated, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal
financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, 
as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period 
covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have 
concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective 
to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange 
Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the 
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission’s  rules  and  forms  relating  to  Xerox  Corporation,  including  our  consolidated 
subsidiaries, and was accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the principal executive 
officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions 
regarding required disclosure.

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 concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective 
as of December 31, 2018. 

The  effectiveness  of  our  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  December  31,  2018  has  been  audited  by 
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears 
in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K. 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting 
In connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, there was no 
change identified in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that has 
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
