Revenue impacted by weak global economy

NORWALK, Conn., July 23, 2009 – Xerox Corporation (NYSE: XRX) announced today second-quarter 2009 results that include earnings per share of 16 cents and $609 million in operating cash flow.

“During the second quarter, we exceeded our expectations for EPS and cash flow, reflecting our disciplined approach to operational improvements across the board,” said Ursula M. Burns, Xerox chief executive officer. “Gross margin and cash are up; expenses are down – all key factors to our strong financial position that is serving us well during this tough economy.

“At the same time, our industry continues to face challenges from the decline in enterprise spending on technology. We have seen sequential improvement with revenue up 5 percent from the first quarter. However, assuming current economic conditions persist, we expect revenue will remain under pressure during the balance of this year,” she added.

Total revenue of $3.7 billion was down 18 percent from second-quarter 2008 including a 5 point negative impact from currency. Post-sale and financing revenue was down 14 percent, or 8 percent in constant currency. Equipment sale revenue declined 29 percent, or 25 percent in constant currency. The revenue decline is largely due to continued spending constraints in the overall business environment, which is delaying purchasing decisions for new technology and slowing demand for document-related supplies.

“In this cost-conscious environment, our clients are responding to Xerox’s managed print services that reduce document costs by up to 30 percent, and to the value we provide through innovation like the Xerox ColorQubeTM solid ink system that cuts the cost of color pages by up to 62 percent,” noted Burns. “Xerox’s value proposition along with the breadth of our offerings for businesses of any size, expanded distribution, and global account management gives us confidence in the strength of our long-term competitive position.”

Second-quarter operating cash flow of $609 million was $167 million higher than prior year driven by working capital improvements. Following this strong performance, the company raised its expectations for full-year operating cash flow to $1.5 billion from $1.3 billion. Xerox ended the second quarter with a cash balance of $1.2 billion, and total debt was down $347 million through the first half of the year. Xerox plans to reduce overall debt by $1 billion this year.

Gross margin was 40.2 percent in the second quarter, an increase of one point from the prior year and up 1.3 points from the first quarter of this year. Second-quarter selling, administrative and general (SAG) expenses were down year over year by $157 million and SAG as a percent of revenue was 27.2 percent.

Xerox expects third-quarter 2009 earnings per share in the range of 10 cents to 12 cents, delivering full-year 2009 earnings per share of 50 cents to 55 cents.

(1)

Post sale revenue is largely a function of the equipment placed at customer locations, the volume of prints and copies that our customers make on that equipment, the mix of color pages, as well as associated services.

(2)

Color revenues represent a subset of total revenues and exclude GIS revenues.

Second quarter 2009 total revenues decreased 18% compared to the second quarter 2008. Worldwide economic weakness continues to negatively impact our major market segments and currency had a 5-percentage point negative impact on total revenues in the quarter. Total revenues included the following:

 

 

14% decrease in post sale revenue, with a 6-percentage point negative impact from currency. The components of post sale revenue decreased as follows:

 

   

12% decrease in service, outsourcing and rentals revenue to $1,951 million, reflecting declines in technical service and outsourcing revenue primarily due to currency which had a 6-percentage point negative impact and a decline in pages. Total digital pages declined 5%, while color pages increased 12%.

 

   

Supplies, paper and other sales of $774 million decreased 19% year-over-year, with a 4-percentage point negative impact from currency. Declines were driven by lower channel supplies purchases, most notably within developing markets, and lower paper sales.

 

 

29% decrease in equipment sales revenue, with a 4-percentage point negative impact from currency. Overall declines in install activity were the primary driver along with price declines of 5% to 10% across Production and Office, which offset the growth in entry production color and segment 2-5 install activity. More than two-thirds of the second quarter 2009 equipment sales were generated from products launched in the past 24 months.

 

4


 

14% decrease in color revenue2, with a 6-percentage point negative impact from currency. Color revenue of $1,456 million comprised 43% of total revenue in the second quarter 20093, excluding GIS, and reflects:

 

   

9% decrease in color post sale revenue, including a 6-percentage point negative impact from currency. The decline was partially driven by lower channel color printer supplies purchases. Color represented 40% of post sale revenue in the second quarter 20093.

 

   

26% decrease in color equipment sales revenue, including a 5-percentage point negative impact from currency and lower installs driven by the impact of the economic environment. Color sales represented 53% of equipment sales in the second quarter 20093.

 

(3)

Total color, color post sale and color equipment sales revenues comprised 39%, 37% and 45% in 2009, respectively, if calculated on total, total post sale and total equipment sales revenues, including GIS. GIS is excluded from the color information presented, as the breakout of the information required to make this computation is not available.

Net Income

Second quarter 2009 net income attributable to Xerox of $140 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, included a charge of $9 million or $0.01 per diluted share, for our share of Fuji Xerox’s after-tax restructuring.

Second quarter 2008 net income of $215 million, or $0.24 per diluted share included charges for after-tax restructuring of $43 million, or $0.05 per diluted share.

The calculations of basic and diluted earnings per share are included as Appendix I.

Production

Revenue

Second quarter 2009 Production revenue of $1,095 million decreased 18%, including a 6-percentage point negative impact from currency, reflecting:

 

 

15% decrease in post sale revenue with a 7-percentage point negative impact from currency, as declines in all product segments were driven in part by lower black-and-white page volumes reflecting the continued weak economic environment.

 

 

29% decrease in equipment sales revenue with a 5-percentage point negative impact from currency. Install declines in black-and-white production systems and product mix more than offset install growth in production color.

 

 

2% increase in installs of production color systems driven by Xerox 700 installs that offset declines in other entry production color products.

 

 

24% decline in installs of production black-and-white systems reflecting declines in all product segments.

Second quarter 2009 Production profit of $51 million decreased $36 million from second quarter 2008 due to lower gross profit flow-through from revenue declines partially offset by lower RD&E and SAG as a result of continued cost savings.

 

6


Office

Revenue

Second quarter 2009 Office revenue of $2,126 million decreased 16%, including a 5-percentage point negative impact from currency, reflecting:

 

 

11% decrease in post sale revenue, with a 5-percentage point negative impact from currency. The decline in revenue in all product segments reflects lower channel supplies purchases, including purchases within developing markets, which more than offset growth in GIS.

 

 

27% decrease in equipment sales revenue, with a 3-percentage point negative impact from currency. The decline in revenue across most product segments reflects lower installs driven by the continued weak economic environment.

 

 

21% decline in installs of color multifunction devices driven by lower overall demand which more than offset the impact of new products including the Office version of the Xerox 700 and ColorQube.

 

 

39% decline in installs of black-and-white copiers and multifunction devices, including a 84% decline in Segment 1 products (11-20 ppm), driven primarily by lower activity in developing markets offset by a 10% increase in Segment 2-5 products (21-90 ppm). Segment 2-5 installs include the Xerox 4595, a 95 ppm device with an embedded controller.

 

 

42% decline in installs of color printers due to lower OEM sales and channel inventory levels.

Operating Profit

Second quarter 2009 Office profit of $229 million decreased $50 million from second quarter 2008, as revenue declines were partially offset by cost savings resulting in improved gross margin and lower RD&E and SAG.

Other

Revenue

Second quarter 2009 Other revenue of $510 million decreased 24%, including a 4-percentage point negative impact from currency, primarily driven by declines in revenue from paper, wide format and licensing arrangements. Paper comprised approximately half of the second quarter 2009 and 2008 Other segment revenue.

Operating Profit

Second quarter 2009 Other loss of $66 million increased $50 million from second quarter 2008, reflecting lower income from licensing arrangements, paper and equity income.

Second quarter 2009 total gross margin increased 1.0-percentage point compared to the second quarter 2008 primarily driven by cost improvements enabled by restructuring and our cost actions as well as the decline of revenues from lower margin channels offset by the 1.0-percentage point unfavorable impact of transaction currency.

Sales gross margin decreased 0.4-percentage points compared to the second quarter 2008 as the 1.8-percentage point adverse impact of transaction currency on our inventory purchases and price declines impact of 0.7-percentage points were partially offset by the positive mix of revenues and cost improvements.

Service, outsourcing and rentals margin increased 1.4-percentage points compared to the second quarter 2008 primarily due to the reduction in costs driven by restructuring and cost actions. These cost improvements more than offset the approximately 1.0-percentage point impact of pricing.

RD&E of $202 million in the second quarter 2009 was $21 million lower than the second quarter 2008 reflecting our restructuring and cost actions which consolidated the Production and Office development and engineering infrastructure. R&D of $172 million decreased $18 million, and sustaining engineering costs of $30 million decreased $3 million from second quarter 2008.

We invest in technological research and development, particularly in color, software and services. We believe that our R&D spending is sufficient to remain technologically competitive. Xerox R&D is strategically coordinated with Fuji Xerox.

SAG expenses of $1,013 million in the second quarter 2009 were $157 million lower than the second quarter 2008, including a $59 million benefit from currency. The SAG expense decrease reflected the following:

 

 

$128 million decrease in selling expenses, reflecting favorable currency, benefits from restructuring and cost actions including reductions in marketing spend and commissions.

 

 

$75 million decrease in general and administrative expenses, reflecting favorable currency and benefits from restructuring and cost actions.

 

 

$46 million increase in bad debt expenses to $80 million, reflecting an increase in write-offs in North America and Europe. 2009 second quarter bad debt expense as a percentage of revenue was consistent with the first quarter 2009, and was less than one percent of receivables.

Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges

During the second quarter 2009, we recorded a net restructuring credit of $1 million. The net credit reflected $11 million of severance-related charges for new actions and $12 million of net reversals for changes in estimated reserves from prior year initiatives. During the second quarter 2008, we recorded restructuring charges of $63 million primarily related to headcount reductions of approximately 1,000 employees predominantly in North America.

The restructuring reserve balance as of June 30, 2009, for all programs was $183 million, of which approximately $168 million is expected to be spent over the next twelve months.

Worldwide Employment

Worldwide employment of 54,700 at June 30, 2009 decreased approximately 2,400 from year-end 2008 and 3,300 from second quarter 2008, primarily due to restructuring reductions partially offset by additional headcount related to GIS’s acquisition of ComDoc, Inc.

Non-Financing Interest Expense

Second quarter 2009 non-financing interest expense of $63 million was $2 million lower than second quarter 2008, driven by the benefit of lower interest rates that more than offset the impact of higher average debt balances.

Gain on Sales of Businesses and Assets

The gains on sales of businesses and assets of $7 million and $15 million for the second quarter 2009 and 2008, respectively, primarily relate to the sale of facilities in Latin America in both periods.

All Other Expenses, Net

Second quarter 2009 all other expenses net increased $9 million from second quarter 2008 primarily driven by an increase in interest expense on Brazil tax and labor contingencies.

Effective tax rate

The second quarter 2009 effective tax rate was 29.9%, which was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the net tax benefits from the geographical mix of income before taxes and the related tax rates in those jurisdictions.

The second quarter 2008 effective tax rate was 23.2% and included a 1.7% benefit from the tax effect of the second quarter restructuring charges. Excluding the impact of the restructuring charges, the adjusted effective tax rate was 24.9% 4, which was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the tax benefits from the utilization of foreign tax credits and the geographical mix of income before taxes and the related tax rates in those jurisdictions.

Our effective tax rate is based on nonrecurring events as well as recurring factors, including the geographical mix of income and the related tax rates in those jurisdictions, and available foreign tax credits. In addition, our effective tax rate will change based on discrete or other nonrecurring events that may not be predictable. We anticipate that our effective tax rate for the remaining quarters of 2009 will approximate 28%, excluding the effects of any future discrete events.

Equity in Net Income of Unconsolidated Affiliates

Equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates of $9 million decreased $20 million compared to second quarter 2008, which reflects our 25% share of Fuji Xerox’s lower net income which was

impacted by the worldwide economic weakness. Second quarter 2009 included our $9 million share of Fuji Xerox’s after-tax restructuring charges.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $609 million in the second quarter 2009. The $167 million increase in cash from second quarter 2008 was primarily due to the following:

 

 

$121 million decrease in pre-tax income before restructuring.

 

 

$223 million increase as a result of lower inventory levels reflecting focused supply chain actions in light of lower sales volume.

 

 

$178 million increase from accounts receivables reflecting lower revenue, improved collections and benefits from the sale of accounts receivables.

 

 

$22 million increase due to higher net run-off of finance receivables.

 

 

$20 million increase due to lower placements of equipment on operating leases reflecting lower install activity.

 

 

$44 million increase from derivative contract settlements.

 

 

$145 million decrease due to lower accounts payable and accrued compensation primarily related to lower purchases and the timing of payments to suppliers.

 

 

$56 million decrease due to higher restructuring payments associated with previously reported actions.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $36 million in the second quarter 2009. The $249 million increase in cash from second quarter 2008 was primarily due to the following:

 

 

$138 million increase due to the acquisitions of Veenman B.V. and Saxon Business Systems in the second quarter 2008.

 

 

$135 million increase due to lower escrow and other restricted investments. Second quarter 2008 reflects the funding of the escrow account for the Carlson litigation settlement.

 

 

$21 million decrease due to lower cash receipts from asset sales.

 

11


Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $82 million in the second quarter 2009. The $236 million increase in cash from second quarter 2008 was primarily due to the following:

 

 

$377 million increase due to the absence of purchases under the Company’s share repurchase program.

 

 

$44 million increase primarily due to lower debt payments on secured financings.

 

 

$174 million decrease due to lower net proceeds on other debt. Second quarter 2009 reflects the issuance of $750 million in Senior Notes, as well as net payments of $599 million on the Credit Facility. Second quarter 2008 reflects the issuance of $1.4 billion in Senior Notes, as well as net payments of $875 million on the Credit Facility and $200 million on other debt.

Our lease contracts permit customers to pay for equipment over time rather than at the date of installation and therefore we maintain a certain level of debt which we refer to as financing debt to support our investment in these lease contracts which are reflected in Total Finance assets, net. For this financing aspect of our business we maintain an assumed 7:1 leverage ratio of debt to equity as compared to our finance assets. Based on this leverage, the following represents the breakdown of total debt between financing debt and core debt:

Financing Debt includes $6,161 million and $6,368 million as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, of debt associated with Total Finance receivables, net and is the basis for our calculation of “Equipment financing interest” expense. The remainder of the financing debt is associated with equipment on operating leases.

Sale of Accounts Receivables

During the second quarter 2009 we sold $373 million of accounts receivable without recourse, as compared to $237 million in the first quarter 2009. Fees associated with these sales were approximately $3 million and $2 million, respectively. $358 million of receivables sold to date remained uncollected by the third party purchasers as of June 30, 2009, and Xerox does not have any current or future liability for these non-recourse sales.

Accounting Change

On January 1, 2009, we adopted SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“FAS 160”). FAS 160 requires that minority interests be renamed noncontrolling interests and be presented as a separate component of equity. In addition the Company must report a consolidated net income (loss) measure that includes the amount attributable to such noncontrolling interests for all periods presented.

Forward-Looking Statements

This release contains “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “will,” “should” and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect management’s current beliefs, assumptions and expectations and are subject to a number of factors that may cause actual results to differ materially. These factors include but are not limited to: the unprecedented volatility in the global economy; the risk that unexpected costs will be incurred; the outcome of litigation and regulatory proceedings to which we may be a party; actions of competitors; changes and developments affecting our industry; quarterly or cyclical variations in financial results; development of new products and services; interest rates and cost of borrowing; our ability to protect our intellectual property rights; our ability to maintain and improve cost efficiency of operations, including savings from restructuring actions; changes in foreign currency exchange rates; changes in economic conditions, political conditions, trade protection measures, licensing requirements and tax matters in the foreign countries in which we do business; reliance on third parties for manufacturing of products and provision of services; and other factors that are set forth in the “Risk Factors” section, the “Legal Proceedings” section, the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section and other sections of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 and our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information or future events or developments, except as required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have reported our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). 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 as well as in the 2009 second quarter presentation slides available at www.xerox.com/investor.

These non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Constant Currency

To better understand trends in our business, we believe that it is helpful to adjust revenue to exclude the impact of changes in the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars. We refer to this adjusted revenue as “constant currency.” Currencies for developing market countries (Latin America, Brazil, Middle East, India, Eurasia and Central-Eastern Europe) that we operate in are reported at actual exchange rates for both actual and constant revenue growth rates because (1) these countries historically have had volatile currency and inflationary environments and (2) our subsidiaries in these countries have historically taken pricing actions to mitigate the impact of inflation and devaluation. 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.

Adjusted Effective Tax Rate

The effective tax rate for the second quarter 2008 is discussed in this presentation using a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the effect of charges associated with restructuring. Management believes that it is helpful to exclude this effect to better understand, analyze and compare the prior period’s income tax expense and effective tax rate to the current period amounts given the discrete nature and size of this item in the prior period.
