Forward guidance
Due to the uncertainty caused by COVID-19, Xerox is not providing financial guidance at this time but has modeled numerous recovery scenarios.
Tailwinds
- Strong balance sheet and sufficient liquidity, including access to an undrawn $1.8 billion revolver.
- More flexible cost structure due to Project Own It transformation.
- Focus on incremental actions to prioritize and preserve cash.
- Majority of business is contractually based with bundled services contracts.
- Expect transactional portion of the business to begin to recover gradually in the second half as businesses reopen.
Headwinds
- The most significant near-term impact from the crisis has been on equipment and unbundled supplies sales.
- Sales are expected to continue to decline significantly as businesses hold off or delay purchases.
- Variable charges are impacted by customers' employees not being in the office and using our equipment.
- Continued uncertainty around the spread and resurgence of the virus has changed our prior expectation for an inflection point following the second quarter.
- Expect a slower pace of gradual recovery in the second half of the year.
