For Immediate Release

Xerox Reports Third-Quarter 2009 Earnings of 14 Cents per Share

 

 

Operating cash flow of $610 million, $1.2 billion cash balance

 

 

39.8 percent gross margin

 

 

Revenue impacted by continued weakness in global economy

 

 

Increasing guidance for full-year earnings and operating cash

NORWALK, Conn., Oct. 22, 2009 – Xerox Corporation (NYSE: XRX) announced today third-quarter 2009 results that include earnings per share of 14 cents and $610 million in operating cash flow.

“Our third-quarter performance reflects our continued disciplined approach to managing cash and reducing costs,” said Ursula M. Burns, Xerox chief executive officer. “As a result, we exceeded our expectations for earnings and operating cash flow, and are benefiting from operational improvements that are mitigating the economic challenges.”

The company reported third-quarter total revenue of $3.7 billion, down 16 percent from third-quarter 2008 including a 2 point negative impact from currency. Post-sale and financing revenue was down 11 percent, or 9 percent in constant currency. Equipment sale revenue declined 29 percent, or 28 percent in constant currency.

“Just as we are closely managing costs, our customers are doing the same and we have not seen a meaningful shift towards increased spending on technology,” she added. “For many of our business clients – small to large – there remains a hesitancy to invest until more economic factors show signs of steady improvement. We expect this trend will continue to put pressure on revenue for the balance of the year.

“At the same time, we’re winning new business from clients who want to reduce their cost base through our industry-leading managed print services,” said Burns. “Scaling our services business has long been a strategic focus. The growth opportunity is significant, customers are demanding more service-related value, and the multi-year contracts provide profitable recurring revenue. These factors give us confidence in the strategic and financial rationale for acquiring Affiliated Computer Services. With this acquisition and the benefits of our existing annuity-based business, we’ll deliver significant revenue growth, cash and earnings expansion.”

Third-quarter operating cash flow was $610 million. Through the third quarter, the company has generated $1.2 billion in operating cash flow, and, as a result, has increased its expectation for the full year to $1.7 billion. Xerox ended the third quarter with a cash balance of $1.2 billion. Total debt was down $938 million through the first three quarters, and the company is on track to reduce total debt by more than $1 billion this year.

Gross margin was 39.8 percent in the third quarter, an increase of over half a point from the prior year. Third-quarter selling, administrative and general expenses were down year over year by $131 million and SAG as a percent of revenue was 27.4 percent.

Xerox expects fourth-quarter 2009 earnings per share in the range of 20 cents to 22 cents, excluding costs related to the acquisition of ACS. The company has increased its full-year earnings expectations to 55 cents to 57 cents per share, which excludes fourth-quarter ACS acquisition costs. Prior guidance for full-year 2009 was 50 cents to 55 cents per share.

(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.

Third quarter 2009 total revenues decreased 16% compared to the third quarter 2008. Worldwide economic weakness continues to negatively impact our major market segments, and currency had a 2-percentage point negative impact on total revenues in the quarter. Total revenues included the following:

 

 

11% decrease in post sale revenue, with a 2-percentage point negative impact from currency. The components of post sale revenue decreased as follows:

 

   

9% decrease in service, outsourcing and rentals revenue to $1,942 million, reflecting declines in technical service and outsourcing revenue primarily due to currency, which had a 3-percentage point negative impact, and a decline in pages. Total digital pages declined 6%, while color pages increased 7%.

 

   

Supplies, paper and other sales of $753 million decreased 18% year-over-year, with a 1-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 1-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. Approximately two-thirds of the third quarter 2009 equipment sales were generated from products launched in the past 24 months.

 

4


 

14% decrease in color revenue2, with a 3-percentage point negative impact from currency. Color revenue of $1,411 million comprised 42% of total revenue in the third quarter 20093, excluding GIS, and reflects:

 

   

6% decrease in color post sale revenue, including a 2-percentage point negative impact from currency. The decline was partially driven by lower channel color printer supplies purchases and lower page volume. Color represented 40% of post sale revenue in the third quarter 20093.

 

   

31% decrease in color equipment sales revenue, including a 2-percentage point negative impact from currency and lower installs driven by the impact of the economic environment. Color sales represented 51% of equipment sales in the third quarter 20093.

(3)

Total color, color post sale and color equipment sales revenues comprised 38%, 37% and 43% 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

Third quarter 2009 net income attributable to Xerox of $123 million, or $0.14 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 and an $8 million after-tax ($9 million pre-tax) charge, or $0.01 per diluted share related to costs associated with the acquisition of Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. announced in September.

Third quarter 2008 net income of $258 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, included a benefit of $41 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, from the settlement of certain previously unrecognized tax benefits and an after-tax net restructuring charge of $9 million ($14 million pre-tax), or $0.01 per diluted share.

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

Production

Revenue

Third quarter 2009 Production revenue of $1,092 million decreased 14%, including a 3-percentage point negative impact from currency, reflecting:

 

 

10% decrease in post sale revenue with a 3-percentage point negative impact from currency, as declines were driven in part by lower black-and-white page volumes reflecting the continued weak economic environment.

 

 

27% decrease in equipment sales revenue with a 2-percentage point negative impact from currency. The decline in revenue across most product segments reflects lower installs driven by the continued weak economic environment.

 

 

32% decline in installs of production color systems, as entry production color declines driven in part by product launch timing are offset by increased installs for the Xerox 700 that was launched in 2008.

 

 

22% decline in installs of production black-and-white systems, reflecting declines in all product segments.

 

6


Operating Profit

Third quarter 2009 Production profit of $59 million decreased $24 million from third 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 actions.

Office

Revenue

Third quarter 2009 Office revenue of $2,070 million decreased 15%, including a 1-percentage point negative impact from currency, reflecting:

 

 

9% decrease in post sale revenue, with a 2-percentage point negative impact from currency. Revenue declined across most product segments and reflects lower channel supplies purchases, including purchases within developing markets, which more than offset growth in GIS.

 

 

29% decrease in equipment sales revenue, with a 1-percentage point negative impact from currency. The decline in revenue across all product segments reflects lower installs driven by the continued weak economic environment.

 

 

31% decline in installs of color multifunction devices driven by lower overall demand, which more than offset the impact of new products including the partial launch of ColorQubeTM and the Office version of the Xerox 700 that was launched in 2008.

 

 

48% decline in installs of black-and-white copiers and multifunction devices, including an 88% decline in the low dollar value Segment 1 products (11-20 ppm), driven primarily by lower activity in developing markets and a 4% decrease in Segment 2-5 products (21-90 ppm). Segment 2-5 installs include the Xerox 4595, a 95 ppm device with an embedded controller.

 

 

41% decline in installs of color printers due to lower demand and lower sales to OEM partners.

Operating Profit

Third quarter 2009 Office profit of $201 million decreased $59 million from third quarter 2008, as revenue declines were partially offset by cost savings resulting in improved gross margin and lower RD&E and SAG.

Other

Revenue

Third quarter 2009 Other revenue of $513 million decreased 21%, including a 2-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 third quarter 2009 and 2008 Other segment revenue.

Operating Profit

Third quarter 2009 Other loss of $71 million increased $25 million from third quarter 2008, reflecting lower income from licensing arrangements, wide format and equity income.

Total Gross Margin

   39.8   39.2   0.6   pts 

Third quarter 2009 total gross margin increased 0.6-percentage points compared to the third quarter 2008, driven by cost improvements enabled by restructuring and cost actions, as well as the revenue declines from lower margin channels which were only partially offset by the 0.8-percentage point unfavorable impact of transaction currency. Third quarter 2009 results included a benefit of 0.3-percentage points related to a favorable property tax adjustment in North America, and third quarter 2008 results included a benefit of 0.3-percentage points from a favorable adjustment related to European product disposal costs.

Sales gross margin decreased 0.8-percentage points compared to the third quarter 2008, as the 1.7-percentage point adverse impact of transaction currency on our inventory purchases and price declines impact of 1.9-percentage points were partially offset by the positive mix of revenues and cost improvements. Third quarter 2008 results included a favorable adjustment related to European product disposal costs.

Service, outsourcing and rentals margin increased 1.1-percentage points compared to the third quarter 2008 primarily due to restructuring savings and other cost actions as well as a favorable property tax adjustment in North America. These improvements more than offset approximately 0.7-percentage point impact of pricing declines.

RD&E of $209 million in the third quarter 2009 was $19 million lower than the third quarter 2008, reflecting our restructuring and cost actions which consolidated the Production and Office development and engineering infrastructure. R&D of $175 million decreased $21 million, and sustaining engineering costs of $34 million increased $2 million from third 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 $1,007 million in the third quarter 2009 were $131 million lower than the third quarter 2008, including a $30 million benefit from currency. The SAG expense decrease reflected the following:

 

 

$91 million decrease in selling expenses, reflecting favorable currency, benefits from restructuring and cost actions including reductions in marketing spend and lower commissions.

 

 

$54 million decrease in general and administrative expenses, reflecting favorable currency and benefits from restructuring and cost actions.

 

 

$14 million increase in bad debt expenses to $59 million, reflecting an increase in write-offs in North America and Europe. 2009 third quarter bad debt expense as a percentage of revenue improved compared with the first and second quarters of 2009, and continues to remain less than one percent of receivables.

Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges

During the third quarter 2009, we recorded a net restructuring credit of $2 million. The net credit reflected $7 million of severance-related charges for new actions and $9 million of net reversals for changes in estimated reserves from prior year initiatives. During the third quarter 2008, we recorded restructuring charges of $14 million predominately in the U.S. related to headcount reductions of approximately 300.

The restructuring reserve balance as of September 30, 2009, for all programs was $116 million, of which approximately $103 million is expected to be spent over the next twelve months.

Worldwide Employment

Worldwide employment of 54,100 at September 30, 2009 decreased approximately 3,000 from year-end 2008 and 3,300 from third quarter 2008, primarily due to restructuring reductions partially offset by additional headcount related to GIS’s acquisition of ComDoc, Inc.

Non-Financing Interest Expense

Third quarter 2009 non-financing interest expense of $64 million was $7 million lower than third quarter 2008, driven by the benefit of lower interest rates that more than offset the impact of higher average debt balances.

Interest Income

Third quarter interest income of $4 million decreased $4 million, reflecting lower average cash balances and lower interest rates.

Gains on Sales of Businesses and Assets

The gains on sales of businesses and assets of $6 million for the third quarter 2009 relates to the sale of Latin American facilities.

Acquisition Related Costs

Consistent with the new accounting guidance with respect to business combinations, acquisition related costs of approximately $9 million were incurred and expensed during the third quarter 2009 in connection with our previously announced pending acquisition of Affiliated Computer Services, Inc.

All Other Expenses, Net

Third quarter 2009 all other expenses net increased $7 million from third quarter 2008 primarily driven by fees associated with the sale of receivables and an increase in interest expense on Brazil tax and labor contingencies.

The third quarter 2009 effective tax rate was 27.8%, 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 third quarter 2008 effective tax rate was 6.1% and included a 17.3% benefit from the settlement of certain previously unrecognized tax benefits and the tax effect of the third quarter restructuring charges. Excluding these items, the third quarter 2008 adjusted effective tax rate was 23.4%4. These rates were lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily reflecting the benefit to taxes from the geographical mix of income before taxes and the related tax rates in those jurisdictions and the utilization of foreign tax credits.

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 fourth quarter 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 $15 million decreased $20 million compared to third quarter 2008, which reflects our 25% share of Fuji Xerox’s lower net income which was impacted by the worldwide economic weakness. Third quarter 2009 included charges of $9 million related to our share of Fuji Xerox’s after-tax restructuring charges.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $610 million in the third quarter 2009. The $350 million increase in cash from third quarter 2008 was primarily due to the following:

 

 

$167 million increase due to lower contributions to our defined pension benefit plans.

 

 

$87 million increase as a result of lower inventory levels, reflecting focused supply chain actions in light of lower sales volume.

 

 

$65 million increase from accounts receivables, reflecting lower revenue, improved collections and benefits from sales of accounts receivables.

 

 

$44 million increase due to higher accounts payable and accrued compensation primarily related to the timing of payments to suppliers.

 

 

$23 million increase due to lower placements of equipment on operating leases reflecting lower install activity.

 

 

$33 million decrease due to higher restructuring payments associated with previously reported actions.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $31 million in the third quarter 2009. The $325 million increase in cash from third quarter 2008 was primarily due to the following:

 

 

$267 million increase due to lower escrow and other restricted investments. 2008 reflects the funding of the escrow account for the Carlson litigation settlement.

 

 

$45 million increase due to lower capital expenditures (including internal use software), reflecting focused management of our capital requirements.

 

 

$11 million increase due to the absence of acquisitions in 2009. 2008 included a business acquired by GIS.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $654 million in the third quarter 2009. The $807 million decrease in cash from third quarter 2008 was primarily due to the following:

 

 

$934 million decrease due to net debt payments. Third quarter 2009 reflects the payments of $448 million for two Zero Coupon Notes, net payments of $150 million on the Credit Facility and $7 million on other debt. Third quarter 2008 reflects the issuance of a $250 million Zero Coupon Note, net proceeds of $198 million on the Credit Facility and payment of $119 million on other debt.

 

 

$92 million increase due to the absence of purchases under the Company’s share repurchase program.

 

 

$35 million increase primarily due to lower debt payments on secured financings.

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

Sale of Accounts Receivables

During the third quarter 2009, we sold $349 million of accounts receivables without recourse, as compared to $373 million in the second quarter 2009 and $146 million in the third quarter 2008. Fees associated with these sales were approximately $3 million, $3 million and $1 million, respectively. $335 million of receivables sold to date remained uncollected by the third party purchasers as of September 30, 2009. We do 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”, (Accounting Standards CodificationTM Topic 810-10-65). This guidance 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.

Subsequent Events

In October 2009, we completed a successful syndication of a $3.0 billion interim Bridge Loan Facility with commitments from several banks that may be used in the event the ACS acquisition closes prior to obtaining permanent financing in the capital markets. The Bridge Loan Facility will mature on the first anniversary of the closing date of the ACS acquisition, subject to two extensions: 1) for up to $1.5 billion to the second anniversary of the closing date, and 2) for up to $750 million to the third anniversary of the closing date.

 

14


In connection with entering into the Bridge Loan Facility, we amended our $2 billion Credit Facility. The amendment extended the permitted leverage ratio of 4.25x through September 30, 2010, which will change to 4.00x through December 31, 2010, and to 3.75x thereafter. The amendment also included the following changes:

 

 

The definition of principal debt was changed such that prior to the closing of the ACS acquisition, it will be calculated net of cash proceeds from certain debt issuances associated with the pre-funding of the ACS acquisition.

 

 

A portion of the Credit Facility that had a maturity date of April 30, 2012, was extended to a maturity date of April 30, 2013, consistent with the remainder of the facility. Accordingly, after this amendment, approximately $1.6 billion, or approximately 80% of the Credit Facility, has a maturity date of April 30, 2013.

(“ACS”) will not be successful; the risk that customer retention and revenue expansion goals for the ACS transaction will not be met; the risk that disruptions from the ACS transaction will harm relationships with customers, employees and suppliers; 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 quarters ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 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 third quarter 2008 is discussed in this release using a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the benefit to taxes relating to the settlement of certain previously unrecognized tax benefits and the effect of charges associated with restructuring. Management believes that it is helpful to exclude these effects to better understand and analyze the current period’s effective tax rate given the discrete nature of these items in the period.
