The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “will,” “should,” “targeting," “projecting,” “driving,” and similar expressions, as they relate to us, our performance and/or our technology, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect management’s current beliefs, assumptions and expectations and are subject to a number of factors that may cause actual results to differ materially.
Such factors include but are not limited to: the effects of pandemics, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, on our and our customers' businesses and the duration and extent to which this will impact our future results of operations and overall financial performance; our ability to address our business challenges in order to reverse revenue declines, reduce costs and increase productivity so that we can invest in and grow our business; our ability to successfully develop new products, technologies and service offerings and to protect our intellectual property rights; reliance on third parties, including subcontractors, for manufacturing of products and provision of services and the shared service arrangements entered into by us as part of Project Own It; our ability to attract and retain key personnel; the severity and persistence of global supply chain disruptions and inflation; the risk that confidential and/or individually identifiable information of ours, our customers, clients and employees could be inadvertently disclosed or disclosed as a result of a breach of our security systems due to cyberattacks or other intentional acts or that cyberattacks could result in a shutdown of our systems; the risk that partners, subcontractors and software vendors will not perform in a timely, quality manner; actions of competitors and our ability to promptly and effectively react to changing technologies and customer expectations; our ability to obtain adequate pricing for our products and services and to maintain and improve cost efficiency of operations, including savings from restructuring and transformation actions; our ability to manage changes in the printing environment like the decline in the volume of printed pages and extension of equipment placements; changes in economic and political conditions, trade protection measures, licensing requirements and tax laws in the United States and in the foreign countries in which we do business; the risk that multi-year contracts with governmental entities could be terminated prior to the end of the contract term and that civil or criminal penalties and administrative sanctions could be imposed on us if we fail to comply with the terms of such contracts and applicable law; interest rates, cost of borrowing and access to credit markets; the imposition of new or incremental trade protection measures such as tariffs and import or export restrictions; funding requirements associated with our employee pension and retiree health benefit plans; changes in foreign currency exchange rates; the risk that our operations and products may not comply with applicable worldwide regulatory requirements, particularly environmental regulations and directives and anti-corruption laws; the outcome of litigation and regulatory proceedings to which we may be a party; and any impacts resulting from the restructuring of our relationship with Fujifilm Holdings Corporation.
Additional risks that may affect Xerox’s operations are set forth in the “Risk Factors” section, the “Legal Proceedings” section, the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section and other sections of this combined Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Xerox Holdings Corporation’s and Xerox Corporation’s combined Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, and Xerox Holdings Corporation’s and Xerox Corporation’s combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as well as in Xerox Holdings Corporation’s and Xerox Corporation’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

XEROX CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(in millions, except per-share data and where otherwise noted)
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
References to “Xerox Holdings” refer to Xerox Holdings Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, while references to “Xerox” refer to Xerox Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. References herein to “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” refer collectively to both Xerox Holdings and Xerox unless the context suggests otherwise. References to "Xerox Holdings Corporation" refer to the stand-alone parent company and do not include its subsidiaries. References to "Xerox Corporation" refer to the stand-alone company and do not include its subsidiaries.
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes represent the respective, consolidated results and financial results of Xerox Holdings and Xerox and all respective companies that each registrant directly or indirectly controls, either through majority ownership or otherwise. This is a combined report of Xerox Holdings and Xerox, which includes separate unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for each registrant.
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of both Xerox Holdings and Xerox have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in the Combined 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K (2021 Annual Report), except as noted herein, and the interim reporting requirements of Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted. You should read these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2021 Annual Report.
In our opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of financial position, operating results and cash flows for the interim periods presented have been made. These adjustments consist of normal recurring items. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results of the full year.
For convenience and ease of reference, we refer to the financial statement caption “(Loss) Income before Income Taxes and Equity Income” as “pre-tax (loss) income”.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the activity for both Xerox Holdings and Xerox for all periods presented, unless otherwise noted.
Segments
During the first quarter of 2022, the Company made a change to its reportable segments from one reportable segment to two reportable segments - Print and Other, and Financing (FITTLE) - to align with a change in how the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), our Chief Executive Officer (CEO), allocates resources and assesses performance against the Company’s key growth strategies. As such, prior period reportable segment results and related disclosures have been conformed to reflect the Company’s current reportable segments.
Refer to Note 4 - Segment Reporting for additional information regarding this change.
Goodwill
Interim Impairment Evaluation
We assess Goodwill for impairment at least annually during the fourth quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. During 2022, we had events and conditions in the first quarter and third quarter that required an interim assessment of Goodwill.
As noted above, during the first quarter 2022, the Company made a change to its operating and reportable segments from one operating/reportable segment - Printing - to two operating/reportable segments - Print and Other, and Financing (FITTLE). As a result of the new operating and reportable segments, we also reassessed our reporting units for the evaluation of Goodwill. Prior to this change, consistent with the determination that we had one operating/reportable segment, we determined that we had one reporting unit for Goodwill assessment purposes. Our reassessment during the first quarter of 2022 determined that, consistent with the determination that we had two operating/reportable segments and two reporting units – Print and Other, and Financing (FITTLE).
As a result of the change in reporting units, effective January 1, 2022, we estimated the fair value of our new reporting units and, based on an assessment of the relative fair values of our new reporting units after the change, we determined that no Goodwill was allocable to the Financing (FITTLE) segment. This determination was largely based on the fact that at this stage in the stand-up of the Financing (FITTLE) business, its separate valuation is constrained and limited because the operation is significantly integrated with the Print and Other segment and is primarily an extension or enabler to facilitate the sale of the Company’s products. The change in reporting units was also considered a triggering event indicating a test for Goodwill impairment was required as of January 1, 2022 before and after the change in reporting units. The Company performed those impairment tests, which did not result in the identification of an impairment loss as of January 1, 2022.
In 2022, the Company continued to encounter operational challenges due to unfavorable product and services mix associated with supply chain constraints as well the impacts of unfavorable macroeconomic conditions including inflationary pressure on product and labor costs, geopolitical uncertainty in Europe and the continued impacts from the COVID-19 recovery. Additionally, higher interest rates continue to put downward pressure on the Company’s valuation. Although the Company expects operating results to improve in the fourth quarter of 2022, and in full-year 2023 as the Company works down its backlog and realizes benefits from price increases and cost actions; operating results are expected to be below previous forecasts and will continue to be pressured as result of these unfavorable macroeconomic conditions. As a result of these negative financial impacts and a sustained market capitalization below our book value, in the third quarter 2022 we determined there was a triggering event requiring an interim quantitative assessment of Goodwill. After completing our interim impairment test, we concluded that the estimated fair value of the Print and Other reporting unit (the only reporting unit with Goodwill) had declined below its carrying value and we recognized an after-tax non-cash impairment charge of $395 ($412 pre-tax) related to our Goodwill in the third quarter 2022. The estimated fair value of the Print and Other reporting unit is based on estimates and assumptions that are considered Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy.
If the Company's future performance varies from current expectations, assumptions, or estimates, including those assumptions relating to the supply chain constraints, interest rates, inflationary pressure on product and labor costs, geopolitical uncertainty in Europe, or the continued impacts from the COVID-19 recovery, this may impact the impairment analysis and could reduce the underlying cash flows used to estimate fair values and result in a decline in fair value that may trigger future impairment charges. We will continue to monitor developments throughout the remainder of 2022 including updates to our forecasts as well as our market capitalization, and an update of our assessment and related estimates may be required in the future.
Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Xerox Holdings and Xerox consider the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). The ASUs listed below apply to both registrants. ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be not applicable to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of either registrant.
Accounting Standard Updates to be Adopted:
Liabilities
In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations that requires entities that use supplier finance programs in connection with the purchase of goods and services to disclose the key terms of the programs and information about obligations outstanding at the end of the reporting period, including a rollforward of those obligations. The guidance does not affect the recognition, measurement or financial statement presentation of supplier finance program obligations. The new standard’s requirements to disclose the key terms of the programs and information about obligations outstanding are effective for all interim and annual periods of our fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2023. The new standard’s requirement to disclose a rollforward of obligations outstanding will be effective for our fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Financial Instruments
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures - Gross Write-offs. The amendments in this update eliminate the accounting guidance for Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs) by creditors while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructurings by creditors made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The amendments also require disclosure of current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing
receivables. The disclosure of current-period gross write-offs by year of origination is applicable for financing receivables and net investments in leases that are within the scope of ASC 326-20, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses - Measured at Amortized Cost. This update is effective for our fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2023. The provisions of this amendment are to be applied on a prospective basis. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Since this standard primarily relates to new disclosure, we do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in future periods.
Reference Rate Reform
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or by another reference rate expected to be discontinued. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope, which provided clarification guidance to ASU 2020-04. These ASUs were effective commencing with our quarter ended March 31, 2020 through December 31, 2022. There has been no impact to date as a result of ASU 2020-04 or ASU 2021-01 and subsequent amendments on reference rate reform. However, we continue to evaluate potential future impacts that may result from the discontinuation of LIBOR or other reference rates as well as the accounting provided in this update on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Accounting Standard Updates Adopted in 2022:
Government Assistance
In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832), Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance. The update increases the transparency surrounding government assistance by requiring disclosure of 1) the types of assistance received, 2) an entity’s accounting for the assistance, and 3) the effect of the assistance on the entity’s financial statements. We adopted this update effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2022. The impact of adoption was not material to our Consolidated Financial Statements. Impacts on future periods will depend on the amounts of government assistance received. Prior to the COVID pandemic, the amounts of government assistance the Company received were not material and since the update is limited to increased disclosures, we do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in future periods.
Business Combinations
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The new guidance requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as if the acquirer had originated the contracts. This approach differs from the current requirement to measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination at fair value. We early adopted this update effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2022. The impact of adopting the new standard will depend on the magnitude of future acquisitions. The standard will not impact contract assets or liabilities acquired in business combinations that occurred prior to the adoption date and the adoption has not had a material impact on acquisitions made year to date.
Debt
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). This update simplified the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models available for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. This update also amended the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity's own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions and required the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share. We adopted this update effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2022. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Other Updates
In 2022 and 2021, the FASB also issued the following ASUs, which impact the Company but did not have, or are not expected to have, a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption. Those updates are as follows:
•Fair Value Measurement: ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. This update is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2024.
•Derivatives and Hedging: ASU 2022-01, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Fair Value Hedging - Portfolio Layer Method. This update is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2023.
•Equity Instruments: ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options). This update was effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2022.
•Leases: ASU 2021-05, Leases - Certain Lease Payments with Variable Lease Payments (ASC 842). This update is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2022.

_____________
(1)Geographic area data is based upon the location of the subsidiary reporting the revenue.
(2)Includes revenues from maintenance agreements on sold equipment as well as revenues associated with service agreements sold through our channel partners as Xerox Partner Print Services (XPPS).
(3)Primarily includes revenues from our Managed Services arrangements. Also includes revenues from embedded operating leases in our Managed Service arrangements, which were not significant.
(4)Primarily reflects sales through bundled lease arrangements.
(5)Primarily reflects sales through our two-tier distribution channels.
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 advance billings for maintenance and other services to be performed and were approximately $131 and $144 at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The majority of the balance at September 30, 2022 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.
Incremental direct costs are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended September 30, | | Nine Months Ended September 30, |
| | 2022 | | 2021 | | 2022 | | 2021 |
Incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract | | $ | 15 | | | $ | 14 | | | $ | 43 | | | $ | 44 | |
Amortization of incremental direct costs | | 17 | | | 18 | | | 51 | | | 55 | |
The balance of deferred incremental direct costs net of accumulated amortization at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $121 and $132, respectively. 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 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. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, amounts deferred associated with contract fulfillment costs and inducements were $11 and $15, respectively, and the related amortization was $1 and $2 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $4 and $5 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
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.
Note 4 – Segment Reporting
Our reportable segments are aligned with how we manage the business and view the markets we serve. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company changed its reportable segments from one reportable segment to two reportable segments – Print and Other, and Financing (FITTLE) to align with a change in how the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), our Chief Executive Officer (CEO), allocates resources and assesses performance against the Company’s key growth strategies. Our two reportable segments are based on the information reviewed by the CODM together with the Company’s management to evaluate performance of the business and allocate resources. As such, prior period reportable segment results and related disclosures have been conformed to reflect the Company’s current reportable segments.
During 2021, we progressed with internally standing up three new businesses: Software (CareAR), Financing (FITTLE) and Innovation (PARC). As a result of this effort, during the first quarter of 2022, we reassessed our operating and reportable segments and determined that, based on the financial information reviewed by our CODM as well as the CEO’s management and assessment of the Company’s operations, we had two operating and reportable segments – Print and Other, and Financing (FITTLE) (see below).
We also determined that the other businesses – Software and Innovation – did not meet the requirements to be considered separate operating segments largely due to their continued management through the Print and Other Segment as well as their immateriality to our results at this stage. Accordingly, those groups will continue to be reported as part of the Print and Other Segment.
Our Print and Other segment includes the sale of document systems, supplies and technical services and managed services. The segment also includes the delivery of managed services that involve a continuum of solutions and services that help our customers optimize their print and communications infrastructure, apply automation and simplification to maximize productivity, and ensure the highest levels of security. This segment also includes IT services and software. Our product groupings range from:
•“Entry”, which include A4 devices and desktop printers and multifunction devices that primarily serve small and medium workgroups/work teams.
•“Mid-Range”, which include A3 devices that generally serve large workgroup/work teams environments as well as products in the Light Production monochrome and color segments serving centralized print centers, print for pay and lower volume production print establishments.
•“High-End”, which include production printing and publishing systems that generally serve the graphic communications marketplace and print centers in large enterprises.
Customers range from small and mid-sized businesses to large enterprises. Customers also include graphic communication enterprises as well as channel partners including distributors and resellers. Segment revenues also include commissions and other payments from the Financing (FITTLE) segment for the exclusive right to provide lease financing for Xerox products. These revenues are reported as part of Intersegment Revenues, which are eliminated in consolidated revenues.
The Financing (FITTLE) segment provides leasing solutions through either bundled or unbundled lease agreements of Xerox and non-Xerox products. These leasing solutions support a wide range of customers, from government to graphic communications and SMB to Enterprise as well as financing for direct channel customer purchases of both Xerox and non-Xerox equipment. Segment revenues primarily includes financing income on sales-type leases, operating lease income (including month-to-month rentals and extensions) and leasing fees.
Segment Policy
We derive the results of our business segments directly from our internal management reporting system. The accounting policies that the Company uses to derive its segment results are substantially the same as those used by the Company in preparing its consolidated financial statements. The segment results include a significant level of management estimates regarding the allocation of revenues such as finance income in bundled lease arrangements and other leasing revenues and operating lease revenues embedded in our managed services contracts as well as the allocation of expenses for shared selling and administrative services. Accordingly, the financial results for the segments may not be indicative of the results the businesses would have as on a standalone basis or what might be presented for the businesses in stand-alone financial statements. The CODM measures the performance of each segment based on several metrics, including segment revenues and profit. The CODM uses these results, in part, to evaluate the performance of, and to allocate resources to each segment. The Financing (FITTLE) segment also includes interest expense associated with allocated debt of the Company in support of its Finance assets, while no interest expense is allocated to the Print and Other segment.

Note 5 – Lessor
Revenue from sales-type leases is presented on a gross basis when the Company enters into a lease to realize value from a product that it would otherwise sell in its ordinary course of business, whereas in transactions where the Company enters into a lease for the purpose of generating revenue by providing financing, the profit or loss, if any, is presented on a net basis. In addition, we have elected to account for sales tax and other similar taxes collected from a lessee as lessee costs and therefore we exclude these costs from contract consideration and variable consideration and present revenue net of these costs.
The components of lease income are as follows:

Note 6 – Acquisitions and Investments
Acquisition
In the first quarter 2022, Xerox acquired Powerland, a leading IT services provider in Canada, for approximately $52 (CAD 66 million), net of cash. The acquisition also includes contingent consideration up to approximately $22 (CAD 28 million) based on future performance of the acquisition over the next two years. The acquisition strengthens Xerox’s IT services offerings in North America, which include cloud, cyber security, end user computing and managed services. The Goodwill associated with the acquisition of Powerland is included in our Print and Other segment.
In July 2022, Xerox acquired Go Inspire, a U.K.-based print and digital marketing and communication services provider, for approximately $41 (GBP 34 million), net of cash. The acquisition strengthens Xerox’s strategy to grow its global Digital Services presence in EMEA. The Goodwill associated with the acquisition of Go Inspire is included in our Print and Other segment.
The operating results of these acquisitions are not material to our financial statements and are included within our results from the acquisition date. The purchase prices for both acquisitions were all cash for 100% ownership of the acquired company and were primarily allocated to Intangible assets, net (approximately $51) and Goodwill (approximately $64), with the remainder to tangible assets and assumed/recorded liabilities. The allocations are based on preliminary management estimates, which continue to be reviewed, and are expected to be finalized by the end of 2022 and may include input and support from third-party valuations. Any adjustments to the preliminary allocations are not expected to be material.

_____________(1)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.
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 based on an assessment of past collection experience as well as consideration of current and future economic conditions and changes in our customer collection trends. Based on that assessment the allowance for doubtful accounts as a percent of gross accounts receivable was 5.8% at September 30, 2022 and 6.6% at December 31, 2021. The decrease in the allowance is primarily due to a reduction in estimated losses for customer accommodations and other billing adjustments.
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. We have one facility in Europe that enables us to sell accounts receivable associated with our distributor network on an ongoing basis, without recourse. Under this arrangement, we sell our entire interest in the related accounts receivable for cash and no portion of the payment is held back or deferred by the purchaser. Of the accounts receivable sold and derecognized from our balance sheet, $119 and $102 remained uncollected as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Accounts receivable sales activity was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended September 30, | | Nine Months Ended September 30, |
| | 2022 | | 2021 | | 2022 | | 2021 |

____________
(1)Losses on sales were not material. Customers may also enter into structured-payable arrangements that require us to sell our receivables from that customer to a third-party 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.
Note 9 – Finance Receivables, Net

Finance Receivables – Allowance for Credit Losses and Credit Quality
Our finance receivable portfolios are primarily in the U.S., Canada and EMEA. 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 credit losses is principally determined based on an assessment of origination year and past collection experience as well as consideration of current and future economic conditions and changes in our customer collection trends. Based on that assessment, the allowance for doubtful credit losses as a percentage of gross finance receivables (net of unearned income) was 3.9% at September 30, 2022 and 3.7% and 4.0% at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. In determining the level of reserve required we critically assessed current and forecasted economic conditions and trends to ensure we objectively considered those expected impacts in the determination of our reserve. Our assessment also included a review of current portfolio credit metrics and the level of write-offs incurred over the past year.
Our allowance for doubtful finance receivables is effectively determined by geography. The risk characteristics in our finance receivable portfolio segments are generally consistent with the risk factors associated with the economies of the countries/regions included in those geographies. Since EMEA is comprised of various countries and regional economies, the risk profile within that portfolio segment is somewhat more diversified due to the varying economic conditions among and within the countries.
Although write-offs incurred to date continue to lag expectations, we believe our current reserve position remains sufficient to cover expected future losses that may result from current and future macro-economic conditions including higher inflation and interest rates. In addition, there continues to be uncertainty regarding the effects from the Russia/Ukraine war and its impact on the macro or global economy. As a result of these uncertainties, our reserves as a percent of receivables have remained largely consistent since to the first quarter 2020 increase to initially record expected losses from the COVID-19 pandemic. We continue to monitor developments in future economic conditions and trends, and as a result, our reserves may need to be updated in future periods.
The allowance for doubtful accounts as well as the related investment in finance receivables were as follows:

In the U.S., customers are further evaluated by class based on the type of lease origination. The primary categories are direct, which primarily includes leases originated directly with end customers through bundled lease arrangements, and indirect, which primarily includes leases originated through our XBS sales channel and lease financing to end-user customers who purchased equipment we sold to distributors or resellers.
We evaluate our customers based on the following credit quality indicators:
•Low Credit Risk: 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 & Poor's (S&P) rating of BBB- or better. Loss rates in this category in the normal course are generally less than 1%.
•Average Credit Risk: 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 in the normal course are generally in the range of 2% to 5%.
•High Credit Risk: 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 low and average credit risk 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 in the normal course are generally in the range of 7% to 10%.
Credit quality indicators are updated at least annually, or more frequently to the extent required by economic conditions, and the credit quality of any given customer can change during the life of the portfolio.
Details about our finance receivables portfolio based on geography, origination year and credit quality indicators are as follows:

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

Note 12 – Restructuring Programs
We engage in restructuring actions, including Project Own It, as well as other transformation efforts in order to reduce our cost structure and realign it to the changing nature of our business. As part of our efforts to reduce costs, our restructuring actions may also include the off-shoring and/or outsourcing of certain operations, services and other functions, as well as reducing our real estate footprint.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded net restructuring charges of $54, which included $59 of severance costs related to headcount reductions of approximately 1,600 employees worldwide, and $1 of other contractual termination costs. These costs were partially offset by $6 of net reversals, which primarily reflect changes in estimated reserves from prior period initiatives. Charges were primarily related to the Print and Other segment as amounts related to the Financing (FITTLE) segment were immaterial for all periods presented.

Note 13 – Debt
Early Extinguishment of Senior Notes
In June 2022, we completed the early redemption of $350 of the $1 billion of Xerox Corporation 4.625% Senior Notes due March 2023, for $353 in cash consideration, which included an early redemption premium over par of $3. The early redemption resulted in a net loss of $4, inclusive of fees and the write-off of debt carrying value adjustments.
Xerox Holdings Corporation / Xerox Corporation Intercompany Loan
In February 2021, Xerox Holdings Corporation and Xerox Corporation entered into an Intercompany Loan agreement for the net proceeds of $1,494 contributed by Xerox Holdings Corporation to Xerox Corporation in 2020. The intercompany loan was established to mirror the terms included in Xerox Holdings Corporation’s 2025 and 2028 Senior Notes, including interest rates and payment dates. The intercompany interest expense also includes a ratable amount to reimburse Xerox Holdings Corporation for its debt issuance costs and premium.
At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the balance of the Intercompany Loan reported in Xerox Corporation’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was $1,496 and $1,494, respectively, which is net of related debt issuance costs, and the intercompany interest payable was $10 and $30, respectively. Xerox Corporation’s interest expense included interest expense associated with this Intercompany Loan of $20 and $21 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $59 and $60 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Credit Facility
In July 2022, Xerox Corporation, as borrower, and its parent company, Xerox Holdings Corporation, entered into a new Credit Agreement with several participating lending banks. The new Credit Agreement provides Xerox Corporation with a $500 Revolving Credit Facility and has a maturity date of July 7, 2024. We deferred $3 of debt issuance costs in connection with this credit agreement, which will be amortized over the two-year term of the arrangement. This new facility replaced our prior $1.5 billion Credit Facility.
The new revolving Credit Facility includes an uncommitted accordion feature that allows the Company to increase the facility by a total of up to $150, subject to obtaining additional commitments from existing lenders or new lending institutions. The new revolving Credit Agreement also includes a $150 letter of credit sub-facility. At September 30, 2022, we had no outstanding borrowings or letters of credit under the new revolving Credit Facility.
At Xerox Corporation’s election, the borrowings under the new revolving Credit Facility in U.S. dollars will bear interest at either (i) a rate per annum equal to the highest of Citibank’s prime rate or a rate 0.5% in excess of the Federal Funds Rate or a rate 1.0% in excess of one-month Term SOFR (the Base Rate), in each case plus an applicable margin, or (ii) the one-, three-, or six-month per annum Term SOFR (the Term SOFR Rate), as selected by the Company, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for Base Rate loans, through the quarterly
reporting for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2022, is 1.00% per annum, and thereafter varies from 0.50% to 1.25% depending on the Company’s consolidated total net leverage ratio (as defined in the New Credit Agreement). The applicable margin for Term SOFR Rate loans, through the quarterly reporting for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2022, is 2.00% per annum, and thereafter varies from 1.50% to 2.25% depending on the Company’s consolidated total net leverage ratio. Xerox Corporation may also borrow in currencies other than U.S. dollars pursuant to the credit agreement, and such borrowings will bear interest calculated under a construct similar to that described above. Principal outstanding would be payable in full at maturity on July 7, 2024.
Xerox Corporation’s borrowings under the new revolving Credit Facility are supported by guarantees from the Company and its subsidiary guarantors, and by security interests in substantially all of the assets of Xerox Holdings Corporation, as well as Xerox Corporation and its subsidiary guarantors, subject to certain exceptions. If an event of default occurs under the new revolving Credit Facility, the entire principal amount outstanding under the New Revolving Credit Facility, together with all accrued unpaid interest and other amounts owing in respect thereof, may be declared immediately due and payable, subject, in certain instances, to the expiration of applicable cure periods.
The new revolving Credit Facility requires the Company to comply with the following financial covenants measured as of the end of each fiscal quarter, commencing with the quarter ending September 30, 2022:
(a)Minimum Unrestricted Cash - maintain an Unrestricted Cash balance, as defined in the new revolving Credit Agreement, in an amount not less than $500 as of the last day of the quarter.
(b)Total Net Leverage Ratio - a quarterly test that is calculated as net debt for borrowed money divided by consolidated EBITDA, both as defined in the new revolving Credit Agreement - with a cap on cash netting of $1.0 billion. The required Total Net Leverage Ratio is 5.25:1 at September 30, 2022; 5.00:1.00 at December 31, 2022; 4.75:1.00 at March 31, 2023;4.50:1:00 at June 30, 2023 and 4.25:1.00 thereafter.
(c)Interest Coverage Ratio - a quarterly test that is calculated as consolidated EBITDA divided by consolidated interest expense, both as defined in the new revolving Credit Agreement. The Interest Coverage Ratio is 2.25:1:00 at September 30, 2022; 2.50:1.00 at December 31, 2022; and 2.75:1.00 thereafter.
In addition, the new revolving Credit Facility requires that no more than $300 of the remaining $650 2023 Senior Notes is outstanding as of December 15, 2022 in order for the facility to remain in effect.
The new revolving Credit Facility also imposes restrictions on the Company and its subsidiaries, including on the amount of dividends the Company is permitted to pay and the amount of shares the Company is permitted to repurchase. Pursuant to the credit agreement, provided there is no event of default existing, the Company may declare and pay cash dividends on shares of its common stock and its preferred stock, and may repurchase shares of its common stock and its preferred stock (i) in an unlimited amount if, at the time such dividend or repurchase is made, the Company’s Total Net Leverage ratio is 3.5 to 1.00 or less or (ii) in an aggregate amount in any fiscal year not to exceed the greater of (x) $200 or (y) 50% of free cash flow, which is operating cash flows less capital expenditures, for the prior fiscal year, commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.
Secured Borrowings and Collateral
In 2022 and 2021, we entered into secured loan agreements with various financial institutions where we sold finance receivables and rights to payments under our equipment on operating leases to special purpose entities (SPEs). The purchases by the SPEs were funded through amortizing secured loans to the SPEs from the financial institutions. The loans have variable interest rates and expected lives of approximately 2.5 years, with half projected to be repaid within the first year based on collections of the underlying portfolio of receivables. For certain loans, we entered into interest rate hedge agreements to either fix or cap the interest rate over the life of the loan.
The sales of the receivables to the SPEs were structured as "true sales at law," and we have received opinions to that effect from outside legal counsel. However, the transactions were accounted for as secured borrowings as we fully consolidate the SPEs in our financial statements. As a result, the assets of the SPEs are not available to satisfy any of our other obligations. Conversely, the credit holders of these SPEs do not have legal recourse to the Company’s general credit.
Below are the secured assets and obligations held by the SPEs, which are included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 14 – Financial Instruments
Interest Rate Risk Management
We use interest rate swap and interest rate cap 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.
Foreign Exchange Risk Management
We are a global company and 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 September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had outstanding forward exchange and purchased option contracts with gross notional values of $1,201 and $1,113 respectively, with terms of less than 12 months. Approximately 83% of the contracts at September 30, 2022 mature within three months, 8% mature in three to six months and 9% in six to twelve months. There have not been any material changes in our hedging strategy.
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. The net liability fair value of these contracts was $21 and $3 as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Summary of Derivative Instruments Gains (Losses)
Derivative gains and (losses) affect the income statement based on whether such derivatives are designated as hedges of underlying exposures. The following is a summary of derivative gains (losses).
Designated Derivative Instruments Gains (Losses)
The following table provides a summary of gains (losses) on derivative instruments:

Derivative loss reclassified from AOCL to income - Cost of sales (effective portion) | | (11) | | | (2) | | | (17) | | | (5) | |
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, no amount of ineffectiveness was recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income for these designated cash flow hedges and all components of each derivative’s gain or (loss) were included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness. In addition, no amount was recorded for an underlying exposure that did not occur or was not expected to occur.
As of September 30, 2022, a net after-tax loss of $21 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.
The following table provides a summary of gains and (losses) on non-designated derivative instruments:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Foreign exchange contracts – forwards | | Other expense – Currency gains (losses), net | | $ | 1 | | | $ | 2 | | | $ | (22) | | | $ | (20) | |
Currency losses, net were $1 and $3 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $2 and $6 for nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Net currency gains and losses include the mark-to-market adjustments of the derivatives not designated as hedging instruments and the related cost of those derivatives as well as the remeasurement of foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities and are included in Other expenses, net.
Note 15 – Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities
The following table represents assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The basis for the measurement at fair value in all cases is Level 2 – Significant Other Observable Inputs.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | September 30, 2022 | | December 31, 2021 |
Assets | | | | |
Foreign exchange contracts - forwards | | $ | 11 | | | $ | 4 | |

| | | | |
| | | | |
| | | | |
Deferred compensation plan liabilities | | 14 | | | 18 | |
Total | | $ | 49 | | | $ | 29 | |
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: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | September 30, 2022 | | December 31, 2021 |
| | Carrying Amount | | Fair Value | | Carrying Amount | | Fair Value |

Long-term debt | | $ | 2,676 | | | $ | 2,296 | | | $ | 3,596 | | | $ | 3,776 | |
____________ (1)Represents subsidiaries of Xerox Corporation
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.

(1)The 2022 and 2021 net actuarial loss (gain) for U.S. Pension Plans primarily reflects (i) the remeasurement of our primary U.S. pension plans as a result of the payment of periodic settlements and (ii) adjustments for the actuarial valuation results based on the January 1st plan census data. The 2022 net actuarial loss for Non-U.S. Plans reflects the remeasurement related to the second quarter 2022 Pension Plan amendment for our UK Defined Benefit Pension Plan..The 2022 net actuarial gain for Retiree Health plans reflect remeasurements related to the first and third quarter 2022 Plan Amendments for our U.S. Plan.
(2)Amounts represent the pre-tax effect included within Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income. Refer to Note 20 - Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income for related tax effects and the after-tax amounts.
Contributions
The following table summarizes cash contributions to our defined benefit pension plans and retiree health benefit plans: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Nine Months Ended September 30, | | Year Ended December 31, |
| | 2022 | | 2021 | | Estimated 2022 | | 2021 |
U.S. plans | | $ | 18 | | | $ | 18 | | | $ | 25 | | | $ | 24 | |
Non-U.S. plans | | 75 | | | 84 | | | 95 | | | 111 | |
Total Pension plans | | 93 | | | 102 | | | 120 | | | 135 | |
Retiree Health | | 13 | | | 17 | | | 25 | | | 25 | |
Total Retirement plans | | $ | 106 | | | $ | 119 | | | $ | 145 | | | $ | 160 | |
There are no mandatory contributions required in 2022 for our U.S. tax-qualified defined benefit plans to meet the minimum funding requirements. In addition, further contributions to our U.K. defined benefit pension plan are not required after October 2022 following agreement of the triennial valuation of the Plan with the Plan Trustees.
Retiree Health Plan Amendment
During the first quarter of 2022, we amended our U.S. Retiree Health Plan to reduce certain benefits for existing 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 of approximately $23 in the Company's postretirement benefit obligation. The amount for the plan amendment will be amortized to future net periodic benefit costs as a prior service credit.
During the third quarter of 2022, we further amended our U.S. Retiree Health Plan to eliminate Retiree Flex benefits for certain union employees as a result of contract negotiations. This negative plan amendment resulted in a reduction of approximately $10 in the Company's postretirement benefit obligation. The amount for the plan amendment will be amortized to future net periodic benefit costs as a prior service credit.
Pension Plan Amendment
In April 2022, our U.K. defined benefit pension plan was amended, at the sole discretion of the Plan Trustees as legally allowed, to increase the capped inflation indexation for the April 2022 pension increase award to 7.5% in line with the December 2021 UK Retail Price Index (RPI). This amendment resulted in an increase of approximately $48 in the projected benefit obligation (PBO) for this plan (approximately 1.4% of the plan PBO as of December 31, 2021). The associated impacts from the required remeasurement of the plan assets and obligations for updates to discount rates, actual returns and actuarial experience as of the effective date of the amendment resulted in an additional actuarial loss of $31. Refer to Note 19 - Employee Benefit Plans in the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2021 Annual Report for additional information regarding our U.K. defined benefit pension plan including its funding status as of December 31, 2021.

Note 19 – Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense of $63 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 reflects $21 of accelerated expense associated with the vesting of all outstanding equity awards, according to the terms of the award agreement, in connection with the passing of Xerox Holding's former CEO.
Stock Options – CareAR Holdings, LLC
In September 2021, Xerox Holdings Corporation announced the formation of CareAR Holdings, which consolidates CareAR, Inc., Docushare® and XMPie under a single holding company named CareAR Holdings (CareAR).
In March 2022, the CareAR Holdings, LLC Board approved the CareAR 2022 Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) and authorized the issuance of 105 thousand stock options (SOs) to certain executives and employees of Xerox and CareAR. Compensation expense of $30 associated with 90 thousand SOs currently awarded under the Plan is based upon the grant date fair value, as determined by utilizing a Black-Scholes option-pricing model and is expected to be recorded on a straight-line basis over 4.7 years, based on the vesting period and management’s estimate of the number of SOs expected to vest. SOs vest on an annual, graduated schedule beginning January 2023 through January 2027 as follows: 10% in January 2023 and 2024, respectively, 20% in January 2025 and 2026, respectively, and 40% in January 2027 based upon continued service. Options granted under the Plan are subject to terms and conditions as determined by the CareAR Board and become vested and exercisable at any time subsequent to the scheduled vesting dates and may expire 90 days or one year from employee termination, depending on cause, but in no event later than ten years from the May 2022 grant date. The terms of the awards also include certain provisions that allow for the immediate vesting in the event of a sale of the entity.

Note 22 – Contingencies and Litigation
Legal Matters
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.
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. Below is a summary of our Brazilian tax contingencies:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | September 30, 2022 | | December 31, 2021 |
Tax contingency - unreserved | | $ | 331 | | | $ | 292 | |
Escrow cash deposits | | 35 | | | 32 | |
Surety bonds | | 75 | | | 96 | |
Letters of credit | | 66 | | | 74 | |
Liens on Brazilian assets | | — | | | — | |
The increase in the unreserved portion of the tax contingency, inclusive of any related interest, was primarily due to interest and currency. With respect to the unreserved tax contingency, 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 well as, additional surety bonds and letters of credit, which include associated indexation. Generally, any escrowed amounts would be refundable and any liens on assets 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 September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. We routinely assess all these matters as to the 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
Miami Firefighters’ Relief & Pension Fund v. Icahn, et al.:
On December 13, 2019, alleged shareholder Miami Firefighters’ Relief & Pension Fund (“Miami Firefighters”) filed a purported derivative complaint in New York State Supreme Court, New York County on behalf of Xerox Holdings Corporation ("Xerox Holdings") (as nominal defendant) against Carl Icahn and his affiliated entities High River Limited Partnership and Icahn Capital LP (the "Icahn defendants"), Xerox Holdings, and all then-current Xerox Holdings directors (the "Directors"). Plaintiff made no demand on the Board before bringing the action, but instead alleges that doing so would be futile because the Directors lack independence due to alleged direct or indirect relationships with Icahn. Among other things, the complaint alleges that Icahn controls and dominates Xerox Holdings and therefore owes a fiduciary duty of loyalty to Xerox Holdings, which he breached by acquiring HP stock at a time when he knew that Xerox Holdings was considering an offer to acquire HP or had knowledge of the "obvious merits" of such potential acquisition, and that the Icahn defendants’ holdings of HP common stock have risen in market value by approximately $128 since disclosure of the offer. The complaint includes four causes of
action: breach of fiduciary duty of loyalty against the Icahn defendants; breach of contract against the Icahn defendants (for purchasing HP stock in violation of Icahn’s confidentiality agreement with Xerox Holdings); unjust enrichment against the Icahn defendants; and breach of fiduciary duty of loyalty against the Directors (for any consent to the Icahn defendants’ purchases of HP common stock while Xerox Holdings was considering acquiring HP). The complaint seeks a judgment of breach of fiduciary duties against the Icahn defendants and the Directors; a declaration that Icahn breached his confidentiality agreement with Xerox Holdings; a constructive trust on Icahn Capital and High River's investments in HP securities; disgorgement to Xerox Holdings of profits Icahn Capital and High River earned from trading in HP stock; payment of unspecified damages by the Directors for breaching fiduciary duties; and attorneys' fees, costs, and other relief the Court deems just and proper. The Court subsequently granted plaintiff’s unopposed motion to consolidate a similar action filed on December 26, 2019 by alleged shareholder Steven J. Reynolds against the same parties in the same court, and designating Miami Firefighters’ counsel as lead counsel in the consolidated action.
Defendants moved to dismiss in August 2020, and the Court granted defendants’ motions and dismissed the action in its entirety, on December 14, 2020. Plaintiffs appealed the dismissal of the case to the Appellate Division, First Department. On November 18, 2021, the Appellate Division issued its decision and reversed the lower court’s ruling to the extent that it dismissed the claims asserted against the Icahn defendants. The claims asserted against the Directors remain dismissed.
On December 8, 2021, the Xerox Board approved the formation of a Special Litigation Committee to investigate and evaluate the claims and allegations asserted in the Miami Firefighters’ case and determine the course of action that would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Court subsequently stayed all discovery until February 28, 2022, except as related to the issue of the alleged damages sustained by Xerox. On March 18, 2022, following the conclusion of its investigation, the Special Litigation Committee filed a motion to dismiss plaintiffs’ claims on the grounds that the derivative claims are without merit and pursuing the claims would not be in the best interest of Xerox or its shareholders. One week later the Icahn Defendants filed a motion for summary judgment seeking dismissal of all claims against them. On April 4, 2022, Miami Firefighters filed papers in opposition to the pending motions and cross-moved to, among other things, seek discovery regarding the Special Litigation Committee’s investigation. Miami Firefighters also cross-moved seeking an order granting partial summary judgment against the Icahn Defendants for disgorgement of alleged unrealized profits in the amount of $18.12. Oral argument on all pending motions took place on July 5, 2022. After hearing from all parties on the various motions, the Court denied without prejudice the Special Litigation Committee's motion to dismiss, the Icahn defendants' motion for summary judgment and the plaintiffs' cross-motion for summary judgment. The Court also granted the plaintiffs limited discovery to be completed within 60 days.
On September 30, 2022, the Special Litigation Committee, the Icahn Defendants and plaintiffs filed supplemental briefs in support of the Special Litigation Committee’s renewed motion to dismiss and/or for summary judgment and the Icahn Defendants’ renewed motion for summary judgment. The parties filed response briefs on October 24, 2022. Oral argument on the motions is scheduled for November 28, 2022.
Xerox Holdings Corporation v. Factory Mutual Insurance Company and Related Actions:
On March 10, 2021, Xerox Holdings Corporation (“Xerox Holdings”) filed a complaint for breach of contract and declaratory judgment against Factory Mutual Insurance Company in Rhode Island Superior Court, Providence County seeking insurance coverage for business interruption losses resulting from the coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic. The complaint alleges that defendant agreed to provide Xerox Holdings with up to $1 billion in per-occurrence coverage for losses resulting from pandemic-related loss or damage to certain real and other property, including business interruption loss resulting from insured property damage; that the pandemic had inflicted significant physical loss or damage to property of Xerox Holdings and its direct and indirect customers; that Xerox Holdings’ worldwide actual and projected losses through the end of 2020 totaled in excess of $300 (and is still increasing); and that following Xerox Holdings' timely and proper claim in March 2020 for coverage under the “all risk” commercial property insurance policy it had purchased from defendant, defendant improperly denied and rejected coverage for most of the claim. The complaint seeks a jury trial, a declaratory judgment against defendant declaring that Xerox is entitled to full coverage of costs and losses under defendant’s policy and declaring that defendant is required to pay for such costs and losses, subject to any applicable limits; damages in an amount to be determined at trial; consequential damages; attorneys’ fees and costs; pre- and post-judgment interest; and other relief the Court deems just and proper. Also on March 10, 2021, subsidiaries of Xerox Holdings filed similar complaints and related requests for arbitration in Toronto, London, and Amsterdam for Canadian, UK and European losses.
Xerox Holdings consented to defendant’s request for an extension of its time in which to answer or otherwise respond to the complaint. On May 6, 2021, FMG filed its answer to the complaint. The parties thereafter agreed to stay all non-U.S. proceedings pending the outcome of the U.S. litigation.
Guarantees
We have issued or provided approximately $253 of guarantees as of September 30, 2022 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 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.
ITEM 2 — MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Throughout this Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A), references to “Xerox Holdings” refer to Xerox Holdings Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries while references to “Xerox” refer to Xerox Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. References herein to “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” refer collectively to both Xerox Holdings and Xerox unless the context suggests otherwise. References to "Xerox Holdings Corporation" refer to the stand-alone parent company and do not include its subsidiaries. References to "Xerox Corporation" refer to the stand-alone company and do not include its subsidiaries.
Currently, Xerox Holdings' primary direct operating subsidiary is Xerox and Xerox reflects nearly all of Xerox Holdings' operations. Accordingly, the following MD&A primarily focuses on the operations of Xerox and is intended to help the reader understand Xerox's business and its results of operations and financial condition. The MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes. Throughout this MD&A, references are made to various notes in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements which appear in Item 1 of this combined Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this Form 10-Q), and the information contained in such notes is incorporated by reference into the MD&A in the places where such references are made.
Xerox Holdings' other direct subsidiary is Xerox Ventures LLC, which was established in 2021 solely to invest in startups and early/mid-stage growth companies aligned with the Company’s innovation focus areas and targeted adjacencies. Xerox Ventures LLC had investments of approximately $21 million at September 30, 2022. Due to its immaterial nature, and for ease of discussion, Xerox Ventures LLC's results are included within the following discussion.
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.
Overview
Revenue growth during the third quarter 2022 accelerated in constant currency, reflecting the benefit from recent acquisitions as well as resilient demand for our products and services amid an increasingly challenging macroeconomic environment. Equipment revenue increased 0.8% in actual currency and included a 5.9-percentage point adverse impact from currency. The 6.7% increase in constant currency1, reflects the first quarter of equipment revenue growth since the supply chain constraints began last year. As expected, backlog2 slightly declined sequentially, reflecting sustained order flow, offset by gradual easing of supply constraints. Although we were encouraged by supply chain improvements, the pace of improvement was slower than expected. The increase in Post sale revenue was driven by another strong quarter for paper and supplies. Growth in these consumables reflects the early benefits of recent pricing actions, and for supplies, an ongoing, gradual recovery of print-related activity. Post sale revenue also benefited from growth in IT and Digital Services, including contributions from recent acquisitions. Consistent with prior quarters, we continue to see a strong correlation between return-to-office trends and page volumes. We did see an improvement in page volume relative to 2019 levels; however, page volumes are recovering slower than we expected, as employers’ efforts to bring employees back to offices have been slow to gain momentum.
Adjusted1 operating income margin declined 0.5-percentage points year-over-year but improved sequentially, reflecting the benefits of price and cost actions we have taken year-to-date. Improvement was slower than expected due to persistently high rates of inflation across our cost base, an unfavorable geographic mix in equipment sales, and a slower-than-expected easing of supply chain constraints.

(2)Order backlog is measured as the value of unfulfilled sales orders, shipped and non-shipped, received from our customers waiting to be
installed, including orders with future installation dates. It includes printing devices as well as IT hardware associated with our IT services
offerings. Third quarter 2022 backlog of $429 million excludes sales orders from Russia and Powerland Computers Ltd., which was acquired in the first quarter of 2022. Prior quarter backlog was revised to conform to current reporting methodology.
Russia-Ukraine Conflict
With respect to the war in Ukraine, in the first quarter 2022, we halted shipments to Russia and Belorussia when sanctions were imposed and the resulting financial impact has thus far been minimal. The Eurasian region in total comprised a low single digit percentage of our revenue and operating profits in 2021. As of September 30, 2022 the net assets of our Eurasian operations were approximately $18 million (approximately $30 million of total assets) and comprised approximately 0.5% of consolidated net assets. At all times from the imposition of sanctions through the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q, we have been compliant with sanctions and government restrictions.
Reportable Segment Change
During the first quarter of 2022, the Company made a change to its reportable segments from one reportable segment to two reportable segments - Print and Other, and Financing (FITTLE) - to align with a change in how the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), our Chief Executive Officer (CEO), allocates resources and assesses performance against the Company’s key growth strategies. As such, prior period reportable segment results and related disclosures have been conformed to reflect the Company’s current reportable segments.
Third Quarter 2022 Review
Total revenue of $1.75 billion for third quarter 2022 decreased 0.4% from third quarter 2021, which included a 5.1-percentage point adverse impact from currency partially offset by a 3.4-percentage point benefit from acquisitions. Total revenue reflected a decrease of 0.7% in Post sale revenue, which included a 4.8-percentage point adverse impact from currency, and reflected increased IT services revenues, which benefited from recent acquisitions, as well as higher consumables revenues including from paper and supplies, partially offset by lower service and rental revenue. Equipment sales revenue increased 0.8%, which included a 5.9-percentage point adverse impact from currency and reflected higher demand for our products and a modest improvement in product availability, primarily in EMEA.
Total revenue of $5.17 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased 1.8% as compared to the prior year period, including a 3.5-percentage point adverse impact from currency partially offset by a 2.4-percentage point benefit from acquisitions. Total revenue reflected an increase of 0.8% in Post sale revenue, including a 3.4-percentage point adverse impact from currency, and a decrease of 10.6% in Equipment sales revenue, including a 3.6-percentage point adverse impact from currency.

____________________________
(1)See the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section for an explanation of the non-GAAP financial measure.
Third quarter 2022 Net (loss) attributable to Xerox Holdings of ($383) million was a decrease of $473 million as compared to third quarter 2021 Net income attributable to Xerox Holdings of $90 million. The decrease primarily reflects an after-tax non-cash Goodwill impairment charge of $395 million ($412 million pre-tax), as well as lower gross margin, reflecting unfavorable product and services mix associated with product supply constraints, and higher Restructuring and related costs, net, Other expenses, net, and Income tax expense. These negative impacts were partially offset by lower Research, development and engineering expenses. Third quarter 2022 Adjusted1 Net income attributable to Xerox Holdings of $33 million decreased $57 million as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to lower gross margin, reflecting unfavorable product and services mix associated with product supply constraints, as well as higher Income tax expense and Other expenses, net.
Net (loss) attributable to Xerox Holdings for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 of $(443) million was a decrease of $663 million as compared to the prior year period Net income attributable to Xerox Holdings of $220 million. The decrease primarily reflects an after-tax non-cash Goodwill impairment charge of $395 million ($412 million pre-tax), as well as lower gross margin, reflecting unfavorable product and services mix as well as higher freight costs associated with product supply constraints, and higher Selling, administrative and general expenses due to higher stock compensation expense associated with the accelerated vesting of all outstanding equity awards, in the second quarter 2022 according to the terms of the award agreement, in connection with the passing of Xerox Holding's former CEO. Other expenses, net, were $94 million higher primarily due to a $33 million charge in the first quarter 2022 associated with the termination of a product supply agreement (which was net of an $8 million
previously recorded accrual), lower gains on sales of businesses and assets, and a lower benefit from non-service retirement costs. These negative impacts were partially offset by lower Income tax expense. Adjusted1 Net income attributable to Xerox Holdings for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 of $43 million decreased $188 million as compared to the prior year period, primarily reflecting lower gross margin, as a result of unfavorable product and services mix as well as higher freight costs associated with product supply constraints, and higher Selling, administrative and general expenses and Other expense, net. These negative impacts were partially offset by lower Income tax expense.

Cash flows from operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was a use of $27 million and decreased $458 million as compared to the prior year period, primarily related to lower net income as well as lower royalty payments, higher finance receivable originations, a $41 million one-time payment in second quarter 2022 associated with the termination of a product supply agreement, and higher working capital2. Cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $95 million reflecting capital expenditures of $39 million, acquisitions of $93 million and $13 million of noncontrolling investments as part of our corporate venture capital fund, partially offset by $49 million related to the sale of surplus assets including buildings and land in the U.S. Cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $755 million reflecting payments of $600 million on existing secured financing arrangements, $300 million on Senior Notes that matured in 2022 and $353 million for the early redemption of 2023 Senior Notes, partially offset by proceeds of $753 million on new secured financing arrangements, as well as dividend payments of $131 million and $113 million for repurchases of our Common Stock.
2022 Outlook
The global macroeconomic outlook has become more volatile in the past three months, but we are not yet seeing a meaningful effect of a global slowdown on our revenues. We continue to see resiliency in demand for our office products, particularly our A3 devices. However, consistent with the uncertain macro environment, we are beginning to see longer project deployment times, and in some cases, lower page volume commitments.
Due to the recent weakening of the Euro and British Pound, and an uncertain outlook for global foreign exchange rates, we are adjusting our full-year revenue guidance from at least $7.1 billion to a range of $7.0 billion to $7.1 billion in actual currency. Additionally, we are lowering our cash flow guidance due to slower-than-expected supply chain improvements and persistently high rates of inflation, which negatively affected operating profit, as well as a greater-than-expected use of working capital to fund originations growth at FITTLE and inventories. Accordingly, we are adjusting our full-year 2022 Operating cash flows guidance from at least $475 million to at least $180 million (excluding the $41 million one-time payment associated with the termination of a product supply agreement), and expect capital expenditures of $55 million (previously $75 million) for full-year 2022.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates - Update
Except as noted below, there have been no significant changes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting estimates and policies in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of our combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (the 2021 Form 10-K).
Goodwill - Interim Impairment Evaluation
We assess Goodwill for impairment at least annually during the fourth quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. During 2022, we had events and conditions in the first quarter and third quarter that required an interim assessment of Goodwill.
First Quarter 2022 - Change in Segments
During the first quarter 2022, the Company made a change to its operating and reportable segments from one operating/reportable segment - Printing - to two operating/reportable segments - Print and Other, and Financing (FITTLE). As a result of the new operating and reportable segments, we also reassessed our reporting units for the evaluation of Goodwill. Prior to this change, consistent with the determination that we had one operating/reportable segment, we determined that we had one reporting unit for Goodwill assessment purposes. Our reassessment during the first quarter of 2022 determined that consistent with the determination that we had two operating/reportable segments, we now have two reporting units for Goodwill assessment purposes – Print and Other, and Financing (FITTLE).
As a result of the change in reporting units, effective January 1, 2022, we estimated the fair value of our new reporting units and, based on an assessment of the relative fair values of our new reporting units after the change, we determined that no Goodwill was allocable to the Financing (FITTLE) segment. This determination was largely based on the fact that at this stage in the stand-up of the Financing (FITTLE) business, its separate valuation is constrained and limited because the operation is significantly integrated with the Print and Other segment and is primarily an extension or enabler to facilitate the sale of the Company’s products. The change in reporting units was also considered a triggering event indicating a test for Goodwill impairment was required as of January 1, 2022 before and after the change in reporting units. The Company performed those impairment tests, which did not result in the identification of an impairment loss as of January 1, 2022.
We perform an assessment of Goodwill, utilizing either a qualitative or quantitative impairment test. As a result of our impairment charge in the fourth quarter 2021, we elected to bypass the qualitative impairment test and proceed to the quantitative test for the assessment of the recoverability of our Goodwill balance effective January 1, 2022 before and after the change in segments.
In estimating the fair value of our single reporting unit before the change in segments, our analysis reflected a 75/25 allocation between the income and market approach and the application of a discount rate applied to our projected cash flows of approximately 7.50%. The weighting between the income and market approach was consistent with our assessment in the fourth quarter 2021. The applied discount rate was 25 basis points lower than the rate applied in the fourth quarter 2021 assessment largely due to changes in market inputs with respect to the Cost of Equity as well as a slightly higher Cost of Debt weighting, which carries a lower cost. We believe that the discount rate applied was reasonable based on the estimated capital costs of applicable market participants and an appropriate company-specific risk premium that reflected current market and industry conditions.
In estimating the fair value of our reporting unit with Goodwill after the change in segments (Print and Other), our analysis likewise reflected a 75/25 allocation between the income and market approach, respectively, but the discount rate applied to our projected cash flows was increased to approximately 8.75%. The increase in the discount rate was largely due to an increase in the Company Specific Risk Premium to balance the overall Company valuation and to reflect an increased risk to Print and Other as a result of the removal of a portion of the steadier annuity financing revenues to the Financing (FITTLE) reporting unit. As with the assessment before the segment change, we continue to believe that the discount rate applied was reasonable based on the estimated capital costs of applicable market participants and an appropriate company-specific risk premium that reflected current market and industry conditions. Based on our forecast model, which we believe reflects the inherent uncertainty of the future, we estimated that the excess of fair value over carrying value for the reporting unit with Goodwill ranged between 15% and 20%.
Third Quarter 2022
In the first nine months of 2022, the Company continued to encounter operational challenges due to unfavorable product and services mix associated with supply chain constraints as well the impacts of unfavorable macroeconomic conditions including inflationary pressure on product and labor costs, geopolitical uncertainty in Europe and the continued impacts from the COVID-19 recovery. Additionally, higher interest rates continue to put downward pressure on the Company’s valuation. Although operating results are expected to improve in the fourth quarter 2022, and in 2023 as the Company works down its backlog; operating results are expected to be below previous forecasts and will continue to be pressured as result of these unfavorable macroeconomic conditions. As a result of these negative financial impacts as well as a sustained market capitalization below our book value, in the third quarter 2022 we determined there was a triggering event requiring an interim quantitative assessment of Goodwill. After completing our interim impairment test, we concluded that the estimated fair value of the Print and Other reporting unit (the only reporting unit with Goodwill) had declined below its carrying value and we recognized an after-tax non-cash impairment charge of $395 million ($412 million pre-tax) related to our Goodwill in the third quarter 2022.
In estimating the fair value of the Print and Other reporting unit, our analysis reflected a 75/25 allocation between the income and market approach, respectively, and the application of a discount rate applied to our projected cash flows of approximately 10.75%. The weighting between the income and market approach was consistent with our assessment in the fourth quarter 2021 as well as the first quarter 2022. The applied discount rate was 200 basis points higher than the rate applied in the first quarter 2022 assessment primarily due to higher market interest rates. We believe that the discount rate applied was reasonable based on the estimated capital costs of applicable market participants and an appropriate company-specific risk premium that reflected current market and industry conditions.
As a result of recent macroeconomic volatility and continued supply chain constraints, our current results and internal forecasts indicate that the Company could have a slower-than-expected recovery from the impacts of the COVID pandemic and supply chain issues experienced over the past few years. Although operating results and related cash flows are expected to improve in the fourth quarter 2022, and in full-year 2023, we expect an increased risk to our previous outlooks and estimates, at least in the near term. This impact combined with higher market interest rates and the resulting effect on valuation discount rates, continues to negatively impact the Company’s valuation resulting in the Goodwill impairment charge for the third quarter 2022.
In performing its assessment, the Company believes it has made reasonable estimates based on the facts and circumstances that were available as of the reporting date. However, the determination of fair value includes assumptions that are subject to risk and uncertainty. The discounted cash flow calculations are dependent on subjective factors including the timing and amount of future cash flows and the discount rate. If the Company's future performance varies from current expectations, assumptions, or estimates, including those assumptions relating to the supply chain constraints, interest rates, inflationary pressure on product and labor costs, geopolitical uncertainty in Europe, or the continued impacts from the COVID-19 recovery, this may impact the impairment analysis and could reduce the underlying cash flows used to estimate fair values and result in a decline in fair value that may trigger future impairment charges. We will continue to monitor developments throughout the remainder of 2022, including updates to our forecasts as well as our market capitalization, and an update of our assessment and related estimates may be required in the future.

CC - See "Currency Impact" section for a description of Constant Currency.
(1)Reflects net revenue, primarily commissions and other payments, made by the Financing (FITTLE) segment to the Print and Other segment for the lease of Xerox equipment placements.
(2)Refer to the "Reportable Segments and Geographic Sales Channels" section.
Third quarter 2022 total revenue decreased 0.4% as compared to third quarter 2021, including a 5.1-percentage point adverse impact from currency, partially offset by a 3.4-percentage point benefit from acquisitions. The increase in organic revenue at constant currency1 reflected growth in equipment sales revenue, primarily due to resilient demand for our office products and a modest improvement in product supply availability. Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased 1.8%, including a 3.5-percentage point adverse impact from currency, partially offset by a 2.4-percentage point benefit from acquisitions. The decrease in revenue reflected global product supply constraints and freight disruptions, which limited our ability to fulfill orders and resulted in growth of our order backlog through the first half of 2022, which began to slightly decline in third quarter 2022 (an approximate 8% decline). Post sale revenue for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased at constant currency1, reflecting improvement in IT and Digital Services revenue as well as paper and supplies sales, partially offset by lower signings. We expect supply constraints and return-to-office trends to modestly improve in the fourth quarter, but at a slower pace than expected.
Geographically, third quarter 2022 revenue increased 1.2% in our Americas region, including a 0.5-percentage point adverse impact from currency, as compared to third quarter 2021, while for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 revenue increased 0.7%, including a 0.4-percentage point adverse impact from currency, with both periods benefiting from recent acquisitions. Revenue in our EMEA operations decreased 4.5%, including a 13.8-percentage point adverse impact from currency, as compared to third quarter 2021, while for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 revenue decreased 7.0%, including a 9.4-percentage point adverse impact from currency. Absent the adverse impact from currency, revenue increased driven by strength in equipment sales due to increased product
availability specifically in the EMEA region. However, both regions continue to be negatively impacted by product supply shortages.
Total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 reflected 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 are affected by installs and removals, but also by the page volumes generated from the usage of such devices and the revenue per printed page. Post sale revenue also includes transactional IT hardware sales and implementation services.
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, Post sale revenue decreased 0.7% as compared to third quarter 2021, including a 4.8-percentage point adverse impact from currency and a 4.4-percentage point benefit from acquisitions, while Post sale revenue increased 0.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the prior year period, including a 3.4-percentage point adverse impact from currency and a 3.1-percentage point benefit from acquisitions. Post sale revenue reflected the following:
•Services, maintenance and rentals revenue includes maintenance revenue (including bundled supplies), document services revenue from our Xerox Services offerings and rentals.
◦For the three months ended September 30, 2022, these revenues decreased 3.4% as compared to third quarter 2021, including a 4.8-percentage point adverse impact from currency. In constant currency1, growth in outsourcing services revenue primarily reflects recent pricing actions and the acquisition of Go Inspire, partially offset by a slightly lower population of machines in the field and lower contracted page minimums.
◦For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, these revenues decreased 3.3% as compared to the prior year period, including a 3.5-percentage point adverse impact from currency. The growth at constant currency1 was primarily due to the acquisition of Go Inspire during the third quarter 2022, partially offset by the impact of lower royalty revenues from FUJIFILM Business Innovation Systems (formerly Fuji Xerox), lower third-party leasing commissions (resulting from higher XFS lease penetration of our XBS operations), a lower net population of devices, an ongoing competitive environment and slightly lower page volumes.
•Supplies, paper and other sales includes unbundled supplies, IT services and other sales.
◦For the three months ended September 30, 2022, these revenues increased 11.1% as compared to third quarter 2021, including a 4.8-percentage point adverse impact from currency, while for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, these revenues increased 20.1% as compared to the prior year period, including a 3.4-percentage point adverse impact from currency. The increase for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the respective prior year periods primarily reflected higher IT Services revenues, which included revenues from the recent acquisition of Powerland in Canada, as well as higher paper and supplies revenues driven by higher channel demand.
•Financing revenue is generated from financed equipment sale transactions. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, these revenues decreased 7.3% as compared to third quarter 2021, including a 4.4-percentage point adverse impact from currency, while Financing revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased 6.0%, including a 2.7-percentage point adverse impact from currency, as compared to the prior year period. The decrease for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the respective prior year periods reflected a lower finance receivables balance due to the pace of run-off of our lease portfolio and lower equipment sales in prior periods. Lease originations for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased as compared to third quarter 2021, while lease originations declined for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the prior year period. Xerox channel originations declined for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the respective prior year periods, due primarily to supply constraints. These declines were partially offset by an increase in originations from third-party dealers and non-Xerox equipment providers in both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Equipment sales revenue
Equipment sales revenue increased 0.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to third quarter 2021, including a 5.9-percentage point adverse impact from currency. The increase reflected higher demand and a modest improvement in product availability, primarily in EMEA. Backlog declined slightly on a sequential basis (an approximate 8% decline), but remained above both prior year and pre-pandemic levels. Equipment sales revenue increased in EMEA primarily due to better availability of product specific to EMEA markets. Equipment sales revenue decreased in the Americas due to continued supply chain disruptions, which impacted all product categories (Entry, Mid-Range, and High-End).
Equipment sales revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased 10.6%, including a 3.6-percentage point adverse impact from currency, reflecting the adverse impact of product supply constraints and global freight disruptions. Although backlog at September 30, 2022 declined slightly on a sequential basis, it remained above both prior year and pre-pandemic levels. Equipment sales revenue decreased in the Americas region and in EMEA primarily due to supply chain disruptions, which impacted all product categories (Entry, Mid-Range, and High-End).

Pre-tax (Loss) Income Margin
Third quarter 2022 pre-tax (loss) margin of (21.7)% decreased 26.5-percentage points as compared to third quarter 2021. The decrease primarily reflected the Goodwill impairment charge of $412 million ($395 million after-tax), the impact of lower adjusted1 operating margin (see Adjusted1 Operating Margin discussion below), as well as higher Restructuring and related cost, net and Other expenses, net.
Pre-tax (loss) margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 of (9.2)% decreased 13.7-percentage points as compared to the prior year period. The decrease primarily reflected the Goodwill impairment charge, as well as the impact of lower adjusted1 operating margin (see Adjusted1 Operating Margin discussion below), increased SAG (Selling, administrative and general expenses) due to the higher stock compensation expense associated with the accelerated vesting of all outstanding equity awards in the second quarter 2022, according to the terms of the award agreement, in connection with the passing of Xerox Holding's former CEO, as well as higher Other expenses, net, which included a $33 million charge associated with the termination of a product supply agreement.
Adjusted1 Operating Margin
Third quarter 2022 adjusted1 operating income margin of 3.7% decreased by 0.5-percentage points as compared to third quarter 2021 primarily reflecting lower gross margin, which includes the impact of unfavorable product and services mix associated with product supply constraints as well as higher bad debt expense, real estate and occupancy costs, and the benefits from temporary government assistance in the prior year. These impacts were partially offset by lower freight costs, research and development (R&D), and favorable currency, as well as productivity and cost savings associated with our Project Own It transformation actions.
Adjusted1 operating income margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 of 1.9% decreased by 3.6-percentage points as compared to the prior year period, primarily reflecting lower revenues and lower gross margin, which includes the impact of unfavorable products and services mix associated with product supply constraints, as well as lower royalty revenues. The decrease was also the result of higher bad debt expense, and benefits from temporary government assistance in the prior year. These negative impacts were partially offset by lower selling expenses resulting from lower sales volumes, lower freight costs and favorable currency, as well as productivity and cost savings associated with our Project Own It transformation actions.

Third quarter 2022 gross margin of 31.8% decreased by 0.6-percentage points as compared to third quarter 2021, primarily reflecting approximately 0.5-percentage points associated with the adverse impacts of higher supply chain costs and capacity restrictions (including limited availability of higher margin equipment), as well as an unfavorable product and service mix to paper and IT services. In addition, gross margin was negatively impacted by the cost of acquisitions, benefits from temporary government assistance and furlough measures in the prior year, and a competitive price environment. These impacts were partially offset by favorable currency and productivity and cost savings associated with Project Own It transformation actions.
Gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 of 31.8% decreased by 2.8-percentage points as compared to the prior year period, primarily reflecting approximately 1.9-percentage points associated with the adverse impacts of higher supply chain costs and capacity restrictions (including limited availability of higher margin equipment) as well as unfavorable product and service mix to paper and IT services. In addition, gross margin was negatively impacted by lower third-party financing commissions, lower royalty revenue, benefits from temporary government assistance and furlough measures in the prior year, and a competitive pricing environment. These impacts were partially offset by favorable currency and productivity and cost savings associated with Project Own It transformation actions.
Third quarter 2022 equipment gross margin of 21.0% increased by 2.7-percentage points as compared to third quarter 2021, primarily reflecting lower freight costs, price increases, a favorable product and channel mix in EMEA, as well as slightly higher revenue. These impacts were partially offset by continued product supply constraints and higher product costs.
Equipment gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 of 21.7% decreased by 3.2-percentage points as compared to the prior year period, primarily reflecting an unfavorable mix of entry products and the impact of continued product supply constraints and higher product costs. These impacts were partially offset by the benefits of price increases, lower freight costs and favorable currency.
Third quarter 2022 Post sale gross margin of 34.9% decreased by 1.5-percentage points as compared to third quarter 2021, reflecting the unfavorable mix impact from recent acquisitions, higher component and logistics costs associated with supply chain disruption, benefits from temporary government assistance in the prior year, and a competitive price environment. In addition, a higher mix of IT services and paper revenues also contributed to the decrease in margins. These impacts were partially offset by favorable currency, lower freight costs, as well as productivity and cost savings associated with Project Own It transformation actions.
Post sale gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 of 34.5% decreased by 3.0-percentage points as compared to the prior year period, reflecting higher component and logistics costs associated with supply chain disruption, benefits from temporary government assistance in the prior year, a competitive price environment, and lower royalty revenues and third-party financing commissions. In addition, a higher mix of IT services revenues also contributed to the decrease in margins. These impacts were partially offset by favorable currency as well as productivity and cost savings associated with Project Own It transformation actions.
Research, Development and Engineering Expenses (RD&E)

| Three Months Ended September 30, | | Nine Months Ended September 30, |
(in millions) | 2022 | | 2021 | | Change | | 2022 | | 2021 | | Change |

Total RD&E Expenses | $ | 73 | | | $ | 82 | | | $ | (9) | | | $ | 235 | | | $ | 235 | | | $ | — | |
Third quarter 2022 RD&E as a percentage of revenue of 4.2% decreased by 0.5-percentage points as compared to third quarter 2021, primarily due to investment prioritization and rationalization as well as costs savings associated with Project Own It which outpaced a modest revenue decline.
RD&E as a percentage of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 of 4.5% was flat as compared to the prior year period, as a result of a consistent rate of investments year-over-year, which outpaced the rate of revenue declines.
RD&E of $73 million decreased $9 million as compared to third quarter 2021 primarily reflecting lower spending in both our print business and our innovation portfolio as well as savings from restructuring and productivity associated with Project Own It. The lower spending in innovation reflects the decision to scale back activities in PARC.
RD&E for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 of $235 million was flat as compared to the prior year period, primarily reflecting lower spending in our print business as well as savings from restructuring and productivity associated with Project Own It, offset by investments in our innovation portfolio and software.
Selling, Administrative and General Expenses (SAG)
Third quarter 2022 SAG as a percentage of revenue of 23.9% increased by 0.4-percentage points as compared to third quarter 2021, primarily due to higher bad debt and administrative expenses, as well as modestly lower revenues, partially offset by lower selling expenses as a result of the favorable impact from currency as well as productivity and cost savings associated with our Project Own It transformation actions.
Third quarter 2022 SAG of $418 million increased $5 million as compared to third quarter 2021, primarily reflecting higher bad debt expense, due to the prior year reserve release, as well as the impacts from acquisitions and higher real estate and occupancy costs, litigation costs and benefits from temporary government assistance in the prior year. These adverse impacts were partially offset by the favorable impact from currency as well as productivity and cost savings associated with our Project Own It transformation actions.
SAG as a percentage of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 of 25.8% increased by 1.2-percentage points as compared to the prior year period, due to higher administrative and bad debt expenses, as well as the impact of lower revenues, partially offset by lower selling expenses as a result of the favorable impact from currency as well as productivity and cost savings associated with our Project Own It transformation actions.
SAG for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 of $1,332 million increased by $37 million as compared to the prior year period, primarily reflecting stock compensation expense of $21 million associated with the accelerated vesting of all outstanding equity awards, according to the terms of the award agreement, in connection with the passing of Xerox Holding's former CEO and higher bad debt expense due to the prior year reserve releases. The increase was also due to acquisitions, investments in CareAR and FITTLE, higher litigation costs and real estate and occupancy costs, as well as benefits from temporary government assistance in the prior year. These actions were partially offset by lower sales and marketing expenses resulting from lower sales volumes, and productivity and cost savings associated with our Project Own It transformation actions, as well as the favorable impact from currency.
Our bad debt provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 of $7 million and $29 million, respectively, increased by $11 million and $20 million, respectively, as compared to the prior year period, primarily related to prior year reserve releases totaling $14 million and $20 million, respectively. On a trailing twelve-month basis (TTM), bad debt expense was approximately 1.0% of total receivables (excluding the fourth quarter 2021 reserve reduction of approximately $11 million), which is consistent with the pre-pandemic trend and reflects the consistent level of reserves subsequent to the first quarter 2020 charge.
Refer to Note 8 - Accounts Receivable, Net and Note 9 - Finance Receivables, Net in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our bad debt provision.
Restructuring and Related Costs, Net

Amortization of intangible assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 of $10 million and $31 million was $3 million and $11 million lower, respectively, as compared to the respective prior year periods, primarily related to the write-off of certain XBS trade names in first quarter 2022 as part of our continued efforts to realign and consolidate this sales unit as part of Project Own It.
Worldwide Employment
Worldwide employment was approximately 21,200 as of September 30, 2022, a decrease of approximately 2,100 from December 31, 2021.

Excess Contribution Refund
In the second quarter 2022, we received a refund of $16 million, which reflects the return of excess employer contributions to a defined contribution plan for one of our Latin American subsidiaries as a result of employee forfeitures. The excess contributions accumulated over the past 20 plus years.

Reportable Segments and Geographic Sales Channels
Our business is organized to ensure we focus on efficiently managing operations while serving our customers and the markets in which we operate.
During 2021, we progressed with the standing up three new businesses: Software (CareAR), Financing (FITTLE) and Innovation (PARC). As a result of this effort, during the first quarter of 2022, we reassessed our operating and reportable segments and determined that, based on the financial information reviewed by our chief operating decision maker (CODM), who is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), as well as the CEO’s management and assessment of the Company’s operations, we had two operating and reportable segments – Print and Other and Financing (FITTLE).
•Print and Other – the design, development and sale of document management systems, solutions, and services as well as associated technology offerings including IT and software products and services.
•Financing (FITTLE) – a financing solutions business primarily providing financing for the sales of Xerox equipment.
We also determined that the other businesses – Software and Innovation – did not meet the requirements to be considered separate operating segments largely due to their continued management through the Print and Other segment as well as their immateriality to our results at this stage. Accordingly, those groups will continue to be reported as part of the Print and Other segment.
We also operate a matrix organization that includes a geographic focus that is primarily organized from a sales perspective on the basis of “go-to-market” (GTM) sales channels as follows:
•Americas, which includes our sales channels in the U.S. and Canada, as well as Mexico, and Central and South America.
•EMEA, which includes our sales channels in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and India.
•Other, which primarily includes sales to Fuji Xerox as well as royalties and licensing revenue.
These GTM sales channels are structured to serve a range of customers for our products and services, including financing. Accordingly, we will continue to provide information, primarily revenue related, with respect to our principal GTM sales channels.

Third quarter 2022 Print and Other revenue increased 0.3% as compared to third quarter 2021, driven by both Equipment sales revenue and Post sale revenue growth as compared to third quarter 2021.
Print and Other revenue decreased 1.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to continued supply constraints, which contributed to a 10.4% decline in Equipment sales revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the prior year period. This decline was partially offset by an increase in Post sale revenue of 2.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the prior year period, which was primarily due to the benefits from acquisitions as well as revenue from IT services, paper and supplies.
Print and Other segment revenue results included the following:
Equipment sales revenue increased 0.8% during the third quarter 2022 as compared to third quarter 2021 due to resilient demand, modest improvement in supply chain conditions and favorable mix, while Equipment sales revenue decreased 10.4% during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the prior year period driven by the impact of product supply constraints and global freight disruptions, especially in the first half of 2022. The backlog1 of orders slightly declined sequentially due to slightly better availability of product, but remained above both prior year and pre-pandemic levels driven by healthy demand.
____________________________
(1)Order backlog is measured as the value of unfulfilled sales orders, shipped and non-shipped, received from our customers waiting to be
installed, including orders with future installation dates. It includes printing devices as well as IT hardware associated with our IT services
offerings. Third quarter 2022 backlog of $429 million excludes sales orders from Russia and Powerland Computers Ltd., which was acquired in the first quarter of 2022. Prior quarter backlog was revised to conform to current reporting methodology.
Post sale revenue increased by 0.9% during the third quarter 2022 as compared to third quarter 2021, and increased 2.7% during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the prior year period. The increase in both periods was attributed primarily to growth in supplies, paper and other revenue. This includes growth from our IT Services business, including our recent acquisition of Powerland. These increases were partially offset by the adverse impact from currency and lower contracted page volume minimums. Post sales revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was also adversely impacted by lower royalty income and third-party leasing commissions as compared to the prior year period.

(2)Includes equipment sales related to the Financing (FITTLE) segment of $6 million and $6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $16 million and $21 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The change at constant currency1 reflected the following:
•Entry - The increase for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the respective prior year periods, was driven by growth in color devices and price increases, partially offset by supply constraints, which most significantly affected our black-and-white devices.
•Mid-range - The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to third quarter 2021, was primarily driven by a favorable mix toward color devices and increased product availability, partially offset by the impact of global product supply constraints and freight disruptions. The decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the prior year period was primarily driven by the impact of global product supply constraints and freight disruptions, which had a more pronounced effect on our U.S. operations.
•High-end - The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to third quarter 2021, was primarily driven by a favorable mix toward color devices and increased product availability, partially offset by the impact of global product supply constraints and freight disruptions. The decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the prior year period primarily reflected the impact of global product supply constraints and freight disruptions, partially offset by a more favorable mix and higher installations of our Baltoro cut-sheet inkjet devices.
_____________
(1)Refer to the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section for an explanation of the non-GAAP financial measure.
Total Installs
Installs reflect only new placements of devices (i.e., this measure does not take into account removal of devices which may occur as a result of contract renewals or cancellations). Revenue associated with equipment installations may be reflected up-front in Equipment sales or over time either through rental income or as part of our services revenues (which are both reported within our Post sale revenues), depending on the terms and conditions of our agreements with customers. Installs include activity for Xerox and non-Xerox branded products installed by our XBS sales unit. Detail by product group (see Products and Offerings Definitions) is shown below.
Installs for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to prior year period reflect the following:
Entry
•28% increase in color multifunction devices reflecting higher demand and increased product availability.
•28% decrease in black-and-white multifunction devices primarily due to higher prior year installs associated with work-from-home demand, resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mid-Range
•10% increase in color installs primarily reflecting higher demand and increased product availability, primarily in EMEA.
•21% decrease in black-and-white installs primarily in EMEA, reflecting the impact of product supply constraints.
High-End
•1% increase in color installs primarily reflecting increased product availability, as well as higher installs of our Versant systems.
•10% decrease in black-and-white systems reflecting the impact of global product constraints and freight disruptions.
Installs for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the prior year period reflect the following:
Entry
•30% increase in color multifunction devices reflecting higher demand and increased product availability, primarily in our EMEA region.
•34% decrease in black-and-white multifunction devices primarily due to higher prior year installs in our EMEA region associated with work-from-home demand, resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as ongoing product constraints.
Mid-Range
•6% decrease in color installs primarily reflecting the impact of freight disruption and product supply constraints, partially offset by higher installs in EMEA.
•33% decrease in black-and-white installs, reflecting the impact of freight disruption and product supply constraints.
High-End
•6% decrease in color installs primarily reflecting the impact of global product constraints and freight disruptions, partially offset by higher installations of our Baltoro cut-sheet inkjet devices.
•18% decrease in black-and-white systems reflecting the impact of global product constraints and freight disruptions.
Products and Offerings Definitions
Our Equipment sale product groupings are as follows:
•“Entry”, which include A4 devices and desktop printers and multifunction devices that primarily serve small and medium workgroups/work teams.
•“Mid-Range”, which include A3 devices that generally serve large workgroup/work teams environments as well as products in the Light Production monochrome and color segments serving centralized print centers, print for pay and lower volume production print establishments.
•“High-End”, which include production printing and publishing systems that generally serve the graphic communications marketplace and print centers in large enterprises.
Segment Margin
Print and Other segment margin of 3.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased by 0.5-percentage points as compared to third quarter 2021. The increase was primarily due to lower RD&E expense, a reduction in selling expense and productivity and cost savings associated with Project Own It transformation actions, all of which were partially offset by the impact of product supply constraints and benefits from temporary government assistance and furlough measures in the prior year.
Print and Other segment margin of 1.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased 3.7-percentage points as compared to the prior year period. The decrease is primarily due to lower segment gross profit, which includes the impacts of higher freight and production costs associated with product supply constraints, as well as the benefits from temporary government assistance and furlough measures in the prior year, and lower royalty revenues and third-party leasing commissions, all of which were partially offset by a reduction in selling expense, and productivity and cost savings associated with Project Own It transformation actions.
Financing (FITTLE)
Financing (FITTLE) represents a global financing solutions business, primarily enabling the sale of our equipment and services.

(1)Other Post sale revenue includes operating lease/rental revenues as well as lease renewal and fee income.
(2)Reflects net revenue, primarily commissions and other payments, made by the Financing (FITTLE) segment to the Print and Other segment for the lease of Xerox equipment placements.
Third quarter 2022 Financing (FITTLE) revenue decreased 12.3% as compared to third quarter 2021, while for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 revenue decreased 13.1% as compared to the prior year period. Financing (FITTLE) segment revenues included the following:
Equipment Sales was flat for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to third quarter 2021, and decreased 23.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the prior year period. The decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was attributed to reduced end of lease equipment inventory resulting in fewer opportunities.
Financing Income decreased by 7.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to third quarter 2021, and decreased 6.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the prior year period. The decrease in both periods was due to a lower finance receivables balance, as collections continue to outpace originations. Originations have been impacted by the global product supply constraints and freight disruptions.
Other Post sale revenue decreased 15.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to third quarter 2021, and decreased 16.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the prior year period. The decrease in both periods is due to a decline in operating lease rental income, which is consistent with the overall decline of equipment installs.
Segment Margin
Financing (FITTLE) segment margin of 5.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 decreased 8.9-percentage points as compared to third quarter 2021 due to lower profit from operating leases and higher bad debt expense, including a reserve release of approximately $14 million in 2021, which were only partially offset by lower inter-segment commissions due to lower originations.
Financing (FITTLE) segment margin of 9.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased 1.7-percentage points as compared to the prior year period primarily due to higher bad debt expense, including reserve releases of approximately $20 million in 2021, and incremental costs associated with standing up the business, partially offset by a reduction in commissions paid to equipment suppliers (primarily the Print and Other segment).

Capital Resources and Liquidity
The following is a summary of our liquidity position:
•As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $1,001 million and $1,909 million, respectively, and apart from restricted cash of $69 million in both periods, was readily accessible for use. The decrease in total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $908 million primarily reflects net payments on debt of $505 million, payments to shareholders of $244 million (dividends of $131 million and share repurchases of $113 million) and acquisitions of $93 million.
•In July 2022, Xerox Corporation entered into a credit agreement for a new $500 million revolving Credit Facility. This new facility replaced our prior $1.5 billion Credit Facility. Refer to Note 13 - Debt in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to this Credit Facility.
•No amounts are due under our Senior Unsecured Note borrowings for the remainder of 2022. However, our new $500 million revolving Credit Facility requires repayment in December 2022, of at least $350 million of the remaining $650 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.625% Senior Notes due in March 2023.
•As of September 30, 2022 total secured debt was $709 million or approximately 19% of the total principal amount of debt, an increase from $561 million or 13% from December 31, 2021. The Company expects to continue to enter into finance receivables securitization transactions to refinance future unsecured debt maturities and to fund other debt repayments.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $27 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The $458 million decrease in operating cash from the prior year period was primarily due to the following:
•$275 million decrease in pre-tax income before depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, Goodwill impairment, restructuring and related costs and non-service retirement-related costs.
•$146 million decrease primarily due to the prior year receipts of an upfront prepaid fixed royalty from Fuji Xerox of $100 million for their continued use of the Xerox brand trademark after the termination of our technology agreement with them and $46 million of royalty payments under the technology agreement prior to its termination.
•$146 million decrease primarily due to higher inventory levels as a result of receipts weighted to the end of the quarter as well as the build-up in anticipation of increased fourth quarter sales activity.
•$43 million decrease due to a current year increase in finance receivable originations as compared to a run-off in the prior year.
•$124 million increase from accounts payable primarily due to the timing of supplier and vendor payments and the increase in days payable as well as higher purchases.
•$28 million increase due to the timing of payments associated with restructuring and related costs.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $95 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The $41 million increase in the use of cash from the prior year period was primarily due to the following:
•$55 million increase from acquisitions.
•$23 million increase from the sale of non-core business assets of $15 million in 2022 compared to $38 million in the prior year.
•$32 million decrease from the sale of surplus buildings and land in 2022 of $25 million in the U.S. and $7 million in Europe.
•$13 million decrease reflecting lower capital expenditures.
•Other investing, net includes $13 million of noncontrolling investments as part of our corporate venture capital fund compared to $3 million in the prior year period.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $755 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The $38 million decrease in the use of cash from the prior year period was primarily due to the following:
•$387 million decrease due to lower share repurchases in the current year.
•$26 million decrease in common and preferred stock dividends due to a lower level of outstanding shares.
•$372 million increase from net debt activity. 2022 reflects proceeds of $753 million on secured financing arrangements offset by payments of $6001 million, $300 million on maturing 2022 Senior Notes and $353 million for the early redemption of 2023 Senior Notes, which includes a premium payment of $3 million. 2021 reflects payments of $444 million on secured financing arrangements and $1 million of deferred debt issuance costs offset by proceeds of $311 million on a new secured financing arrangement.
•Other financing, net includes receipts for noncontrolling investments of $6 million in 2022 as compared to $15 million in the prior year period.
_____________
(1)The payments on existing secured financing arrangements of $600 million include $248 million associated with the early extinguishment of an existing arrangement that was funded through the new secured financing arrangement.

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:

Treasury Stock
Xerox Holdings Corporation made no repurchases of its Common Stock in third quarter 2022. Xerox Holdings Corporation repurchased 5.2 million shares of our Common Stock for an aggregate cost of $113 million, including fees, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The cumulative total of shares repurchased by Xerox Holdings Corporation under the current share repurchase program is 24.6 million shares for an aggregate cost of approximately $500 million, including fees. As of September 30, 2022, there was no repurchase authority remaining.
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 utilize derivative financial instruments 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, interest rate caps, 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 are required to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the balance sheet. As permitted, certain of these derivative contracts have been designated for hedge accounting treatment. Certain of our derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are effective as economic hedges. These derivative contracts are likewise required to be recognized each period at fair value and therefore do result in some level of volatility. The level of volatility will vary with the type and amount of derivative hedges outstanding, as well as fluctuations in the currency and interest rate markets during the period. The related cash flow impacts of all of our derivative activities are reflected as cash flows from operating activities.
By their nature, all derivative instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of market and credit risk. The market risk associated with these instruments resulting from currency exchange and interest rate movements is expected to offset the market risk of the underlying transactions, assets and liabilities being hedged. We do not believe there is significant risk of loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparties associated with these instruments because these transactions are executed with a diversified group of major financial institutions. Further, our policy is to deal with counterparties having a minimum investment grade or better credit rating. Credit risk is managed through the continuous monitoring of exposures to such counterparties.
The current market events have not required 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 14 – Financial Instruments in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion and information on our financial risk management strategies.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We have reported our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In addition, we have discussed our financial results using the non-GAAP measures described below. We believe these non-GAAP measures allow investors to better understand the trends in our business and to better understand and compare our results. Management regularly uses our supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions. These non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. Compensation of our executives is based in part on the performance of our business based on these non-GAAP measures. Accordingly, we believe it is necessary to adjust several reported amounts, determined in accordance with GAAP, to exclude the effects of certain items as well as their related income tax effects.
However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are set forth below, as well as in the third quarter 2022 presentation slides available at www.xerox.com/investor.
Adjusted Earnings Measures
•Adjusted Net (Loss) Income and Adjusted EPS
•Adjusted Effective Tax Rate
The above measures were adjusted for the following items:
Restructuring and related costs, net: Restructuring and related costs, net include restructuring and asset impairment charges as well as costs associated with our transformation programs beyond those normally included in restructuring and asset impairment charges. Restructuring consists of costs primarily related to severance and benefits paid to employees pursuant to formal restructuring and workforce reduction plans. Asset impairment includes costs incurred for those assets sold, abandoned or made obsolete as a result of our restructuring actions, exiting from a business or other strategic business changes. Additional costs for our transformation programs are primarily related to the implementation of strategic actions and initiatives and include third-party professional service costs as well as one-time incremental costs. All of these costs can vary significantly in terms of amount and frequency based on the nature of the actions as well as the changing needs of the business. Accordingly, due to that significant variability, we will exclude these charges since we do not believe they provide meaningful insight into our current or past operating performance nor do we believe they are reflective of our expected future operating expenses as such charges are expected to yield future benefits and savings with respect to our operational performance.
Amortization of intangible assets: The amortization of intangible assets is driven by our acquisition activity which can vary in size, nature and timing as compared to other companies within our industry and from period to period. The use of intangible assets contributed to our revenues earned during the periods presented and will contribute to our future period revenues as well. Amortization of intangible assets will recur in future periods.
Non-service retirement-related costs: Our defined benefit pension and retiree health costs include several elements impacted by changes in plan assets and obligations that are primarily driven by changes in the debt and equity markets as well as those that are predominantly legacy in nature and related to employees who are no longer providing current service to the Company (e.g. retirees and ex-employees). These elements include (i) interest cost, (ii) expected return on plan assets, (iii) amortization of prior plan amendments, (iv) amortized actuarial gains/losses and (v) the impacts of any plan settlements/curtailments. Accordingly, we consider these elements of our periodic retirement plan costs to be outside the operational performance of the business or legacy costs and not necessarily indicative of current or future cash flow requirements. This approach is consistent with the classification of these costs as non-operating in Other expenses, net. 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.
Discrete, unusual or infrequent items: We exclude these items, when applicable, given their discrete, unusual or infrequent nature and their impact on our results for the period.
•Non-cash Goodwill impairment charge
•Contract termination costs - product supply
•Accelerated share vesting - stock compensation expense associated with the accelerated vesting of all outstanding equity awards, according to the terms of the award agreement, in connection with the passing of Xerox Holding's former CEO.
•Loss on extinguishment of debt
Adjusted Operating (Loss) Income and Margin
We calculate and utilize adjusted operating (loss) income and margin measures by adjusting our reported pre-tax (loss) income and margin amounts. In addition to the costs and expenses noted above as adjustments for our adjusted earnings measures, adjusted operating (loss) income and margin also exclude the remaining amounts included in Other expenses, net, which are primarily 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.
Constant Currency (CC)
