1.	Refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section of this release for a discussion of these non-GAAP measures and their reconciliation to the reported GAAP measures. In Q2 2026, the Company recognized a $105 million pre-tax benefit related to the recognition of the IEEPA tariff receivables. The Company sold its rights to these receivables to a third party for $80 million in cash. Because the tariff receivables have not been processed by the U.S. Government as of June 30, 2026, the $80 million proceeds are classified within financing cash flows and excluded from free cash flow. Upon processing, the proceeds will be reclassified to operating cash flows with no impact on total cash.
2.	Refer to the "Pro Forma Basis" section for an explanation of this measure. Reflects the inclusion of Lexmark's estimated results from April 1, 2025 through June 30, 2025. Lexmark's actual results are included in Xerox's reported results beginning on July 1, 2025, the effective date of the acquisition.
3.	Reflects primarily IT hardware, software solutions and services, sold by the IT Solutions segment to the Print and Other segment.
4.	Second quarter 2026 Print and Other profit reflects a benefit from the recognition of $105 million from IEEPA tariff receivables associated with the recent Supreme Court ruling on IEEPA tariffs.
5.	Corporate Other reflects certain administrative and general expenses, which primarily relate to corporate functions, and are not allocated to either of our reportable segments.

Updated 2026 Guidance

Revenue: Approximately $7.6 billion
Adjusted^1,2 Operating Income: $555-$605 million
Free Cash Flow^1,2: Approximately $250 million

Second Quarter 2026 Overview

In the second quarter of 2026, overall market trends remained stable compared to the prior year, with demand broadly consistent with recent quarters. The Supreme Court ruling on IEEPA tariffs provided a meaningful benefit to our cost structure in the second quarter of 2026, which we recognized as a receivable and subsequently sold for $80 million in cash. However, ongoing tariff payments, combined with higher memory and oil prices, continue to present headwinds to our cost structure. To date, none of these factors have materially impacted overall demand, apart from certain international markets with exposure to the Middle East conflict.

Second quarter 2026 reflects the continued benefits of the Lexmark acquisition and Xerox's transformation efforts. Pro forma¹ gross margins expanded year-over-year for the second consecutive quarter, driven by integration synergies, cost discipline, and an increasingly unified operating model. These gains are complemented by new product launches under the unified Xerox brand, growing partner validation, and a more focused go-to-market approach which is collectively positioning the company for continued operational and financial improvement in the second half of 2026 and beyond.

Equipment sales revenue of $387 million in the second quarter 2026 increased 15.2% in actual currency and 15.0% in constant currency² compared to the second quarter 2025, and included a 33.1-percentage point benefit from the Lexmark acquisition. Total equipment installations increased 97.0%, including the impact of the Lexmark acquisition, partially offset by declines in legacy Xerox installations, primarily in entry black-and-white and mid-range color equipment categories. Excluding the Lexmark acquisition, equipment sales revenue declined 17.9% in actual currency due to lower installations and a mix shift toward Entry products. On a pro forma¹basis, second quarter 2026 equipment sales revenue declined 13.0%, primarily reflecting the impacts noted above, partially offset by modest growth from Lexmark.

Post sale revenue of $1,346 million in the second quarter 2026 increased 30.7% in actual currency and 29.7% in constant currency², compared to the second quarter 2025, and included a 37.5-percentage point benefit from the Lexmark acquisition. Excluding the Lexmark acquisition, post sale revenue declined 6.8% in actual currency primarily reflecting lower equipment service revenue and managed print services. Post sale revenue was also adversely impacted by intentional reductions in non-strategic revenue, including the exit of certain production print manufacturing operations in prior years, as well as a decline in financing revenue reflecting the continued sales of finance receivables to our various funding affiliates and lower originations. On a pro forma¹basis, second quarter 2026 revenue decreased 3.9%, primarily reflecting the impacts noted above.

IT Solutions revenue of $189 million in the second quarter 2026 declined 10.0% in actual currency and 9.0% in constant currency², compared to the second quarter 2025. The decline was primarily driven by a mix of revenue subject to net classifications and revenue deferrals.

Pre-tax income of $31 million for the second quarter 2026 increased by $91 million compared to a pre-tax (loss) of $(60) million in the second quarter 2025. Pre-tax income margin of 1.6% improved by 5.4-percentage points compared to second quarter 2025 pre-tax (loss) margin of (3.8)% and included a 3.8-percentage point benefit from the Lexmark acquisition. The improvement in the second quarter 2026 pre-tax income margin was primarily due to higher revenue and gross profit, including a 5.5-percentage point benefit related to the IEEPA tariff receivables, Transformation-relatedcost and productivity actions, as well as lower Other expenses (income), net. The decrease in Other expenses (income), net primarily reflects the early repayment of a portion of our 5.50% Senior Unsecured Notes due August 2028, as well as a portion of our 13.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2031, offset in part by the change in fair value of the warrant dividend liability. These benefits were partially offset by higher SAG and non-financing interest expense, as well as higher RD&E, Amortization of intangible assets and Restructuring and related costs, net driven by the Lexmark acquisition. On a pro forma¹ basis second quarter 2026 pre-tax income margin improved by 4.1-percentage points primarily reflecting the impacts noted above.

Second quarter 2026 adjusted²operating income margin of 10.6% increased by 6.9-percentage points compared to second quarter 2025, and included a 6.6-percentage point benefit related to the IEEPA tariff receivables and an approximate 2.0-percentage point benefit from the Lexmark acquisition. Excluding the impact of the IEEPA tariff receivables and the Lexmark acquisition, the decrease reflects lower revenue, including post sale revenue and equipment sales revenue, reflecting an unfavorable revenue mix, including lower outsourcing, service, rental, and other revenues, as well as higher incentive compensation, product cost increases and lower financing fees. These impacts were partially offset by lower SAG expenses as well as productivity and cost savings related to Transformation. On a pro forma¹ basis second quarter 2026 adjusted²operating margin increased by 5.4-percentage points primarily reflecting the impacts noted above, as well as the impact of the Lexmark acquisition.

For full-year 2026, we expect revenue of approximately $7.6 billion up from above $7.5 billion, adjusted² operating income in the range of $555 million to $605 million up from $450 million to $500 million, and free cash flow² of approximately $250 million. Free cash flow² guidance reflects proceeds from the sale of IEEPA tariff receivables to a third party, which we expect to be reclassified into operating cash flow.
