Forward guidance

Xerox lowered its 2024 revenue guidance to a decline of around 10% in constant currency, adjusted operating margin guidance to around 5.0%, and free cash flow guidance to a range of $450 to $500 million.

Headwinds

  • Revenue guidance was lowered to reflect additional reductions in non-strategic revenue and lower-than-expected equipment sales.
  • Adjusted operating income margin guidance was lowered primarily to reflect the reduction in revenue guidance.
  • Free cash flow guidance was lowered to reflect the after-tax impact of lower adjusted operating income margin guidance.
  • No longer expect to grow adjusted operating income $300 million above 2023 levels by 2026.
  • Expect growth in adjusted operating income and a return to double-digit adjusted operating income margin over the course of our Reinvention.
