NORWALK, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Xerox (NYSE: XRX) announced today fourth-quarter 2012 results that include adjusted earnings per share of 30 cents. As planned, the company’s fourth-quarter earnings include 5 cents of restructuring. Adjusted EPS excludes 4 cents related to amortization of intangibles, resulting in GAAP EPS of 26 cents.
In the fourth quarter, total revenue of $5.9 billion was down 1 percent or flat in constant currency. Revenue from the company’s services business was up 7 percent and represented 52 percent of total revenue. Revenue from the company’s document technology business, which represents 42 percent of revenue, was down 8 percent as economic and market conditions continued to put pressure on sales of document systems, supplies and related service.
“Strong growth in services and the consistent profitability of our document technology business generated significant operating cash flow and contributed to fourth-quarter earnings that met our expectations,” said Ursula Burns, Xerox chairman and chief executive officer.
“Throughout 2012, we focused on scaling our services business and adjusting our business model to align with growth opportunities in the $600 billion market we serve,” she added. “Our fourth-quarter results reflect steady progress. We increased our services segment margin by 0.9 points while growing business process outsourcing revenue by 8 percent, IT outsourcing by 15 percent and document outsourcing by 2 percent. In document technology, our fourth-quarter segment margin of 12.3 percent improved, reflecting effective execution in reducing our cost base and maximizing profitability.”
Fourth-quarter operating margin was up 0.3 points to 10.3 percent. Gross margin was 31.5 percent, and selling, administrative and general expenses were 18.5 percent of revenue.
The company generated $1.8 billion in cash from operations during the fourth quarter, which includes $269 million of net cash from the sale of certain finance receivables.
For first-quarter 2013, Xerox expects GAAP earnings of 19 to 21 cents per share and adjusted EPS of 23 to 25 cents per share. The company reiterated its full-year 2013 guidance of GAAP earnings per share in the range of 94 cents to $1.00, and adjusted EPS of $1.09 to $1.15. Xerox expects to generate operating cash flow of $2.1 billion to $2.4 billion in 2013.
Full-year 2012 results include:
- GAAP earnings per share of 88 cents per share; adjusted earnings per share of $1.03.
- Total revenue of $22.4 billion, down 1 percent or flat in constant currency from full-year 2011. Total services revenue of $11.5 billion, up 6 percent or up 7 percent in constant currency. Total document technology revenue of $9.5 billion, down 8 percent or down 6 percent in constant currency.
- Operating margin of 9.3 percent, down 0.5 points from full-year 2011.
- Operating cash flow of $2.6 billion, up $600 million from full-year 2011.

- Share repurchase of $1.05 billion.

-
Annuity revenue increased by 2% compared to the fourth quarter
2011, including a 1-percentage point negative impact from currency.
Annuity revenue is comprised of the following:
- Outsourcing, service and rentals revenue, which includes outsourcing revenue within our Services segment and technical service revenue (including bundled supplies) and rental revenue, both primarily within our Document Technology segment. An increase of 4%, with no impact from currency, was driven by an increase in outsourcing revenue in our business process outsourcing, document outsourcing and information technology outsourcing offerings, partially offset by a decline in technical service revenue.
- Supplies and other sales, which includes unbundled supplies and other sales, primarily within our Document Technology segment. A decrease of 4%, with no impact from currency, was driven by moderately lower demand.
- Paper sales, primarily within our Other segment, were flat as compared to the fourth quarter 2011, with no impact from currency.
- Finance income includes a $21 million gain from the sale of finance receivables from our Document Technology segment (discussed further in the Capital Resources and Liquidity section).
- Equipment sales revenue is reported primarily within our Document Technology segment and the document outsourcing business within our Services segment. Equipment sales revenue declined 13% as compared to the fourth quarter 2011, with no impact from currency. This was driven by delayed customer decision-making due to widespread concerns about the macro environment as well as a difficult compare in the U.S. in the fourth quarter 2011, especially in our mid-range color product area. Consistent with prior quarters, price declines were in the range of 5% to 10%.
Throughout 2012 we maintained market leadership in the fastest growing, most attractive segments while our focus on productivity and costs preserved our Document Technology margins. During the first quarter 2013, we will be investing in our portfolio with significant product announcements in the mid-range and entry production color spaces.
Additional analysis of the change in revenue for each business segment is included in the “Segment Review” section.

Operating Margin
Fourth quarter 2012 operating margin1 of 10.3% increased 0.3-percentage points as compared to the fourth quarter 2011. This increase, primarily in our Services segment, was driven by savings from restructuring as well as lower SAG.
Gross Margin
Gross margin of 31.5% decreased 0.7-percentage points as compared to the fourth quarter 2011. This decrease was driven primarily by the higher overall mix of Services revenue.
Services segment gross margin was flat as compared to the fourth quarter 2011. The gross margin increased on a sequential basis by over 1-percentage point driven by the positive impact of contract ramp and restructuring savings.
Document Technology segment gross margin increased by 0.3-percentage points as compared to the fourth quarter 2011. Productivity improvements, restructuring savings and a gain recognized on the sale of U.S. finance receivables (discussed further in the Capital Resources and Liquidity section) more than offset the impact of price declines.
Research, Development and Engineering Expenses (“RD&E”)
Fourth quarter 2012 RD&E as a percentage of revenue of 2.7% decreased 0.3-percentage points from the fourth quarter 2011. In addition to lower spending, this decrease was driven by the positive mix impact of the continued growth in Services revenue, which historically has a lower RD&E as a percentage of revenue.
RD&E of $160 million was $19 million lower than the fourth quarter 2011, reflecting the impact of restructuring and productivity improvements. Innovation continues to be a core strength and we continue to invest at levels that enhance our innovation, particularly in color, software and services. Xerox R&D is strategically coordinated with Fuji Xerox.
Selling, Administrative and General Expenses (“SAG”)
SAG as a percentage of revenue of 18.5% decreased 0.8-percentage points from the fourth quarter 2011. This decrease was driven by spending reductions, reflecting benefits from restructuring and productivity improvements, lower compensation-related expenses and the positive mix impact from the continued growth in Services revenue, which historically has a lower SAG as a percentage of revenue.
SAG of $1,094 million was $56 million lower than the fourth quarter 2011. This included a $2 million favorable impact from currency for the quarter. SAG expenses reflect the following:
- $74 million decrease in selling expenses, driven primarily by benefits from restructuring, productivity improvements and lower compensation-related expenses, partially offset by the impact of acquisitions.
- $27 million increase in general and administrative expenses, as restructuring savings and productivity improvements were more than offset by the impact of acquisitions.
- $9 million decrease in bad debt expenses to $43 million, driven primarily by lower write-offs in Europe. Fourth quarter 2012 bad debt expense remained at less than one percent of receivables.
Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges
During the fourth quarter 2012, we recorded $93 million of net restructuring and asset impairment charges ($59 million after tax), which included $96 million of severance costs equally related to our Services and Document Technology segments, and represents headcount reductions of approximately 4,300 employees, primarily in North America. These costs were partially offset by $3 million of net reversals for changes in estimated reserves from prior period initiatives. The restructuring reserve balance as of December 31, 2012, for all programs was $130 million, of which approximately $122 million is expected to be spent over the next twelve months.
During the fourth quarter 2011, we recorded $61 million of net restructuring and asset impairment charges ($39 million after tax), which included $66 million of severance costs related to headcount reductions of approximately 1,000 employees primarily in North America and $5 million of asset impairment losses from the disposition of two aircraft associated with the restructuring of our Corporate Aviation operations. These costs were partially offset by $10 million of net reversals for changes in estimated reserves from prior period initiatives.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
During the fourth quarter 2012, we recorded $82 million of expense related to the amortization of intangible assets. This was $57 million lower than the fourth quarter 2011 primarily due to the accelerated write-off of the ACS brand name in the fourth quarter 2011.
Worldwide Employment
Worldwide employment of approximately 147,600 at December 31, 2012 increased approximately 8,000 from year-end 2011, primarily due to the impact of acquisitions.

Non-financing interest expense
Fourth quarter 2012 non-financing interest expense of $59 million was $3 million higher than fourth quarter 2011, driven by an increase in the core debt balance from December 31, 2011.
All other expenses, net
The increase was driven by miscellaneous charges incurred during the fourth quarter 2012.
Income Taxes
Fourth quarter 2012 effective tax rate was 19.3%. On an adjusted basis1, fourth quarter 2012 tax rate was 22.7%, which was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to foreign tax credits resulting from anticipated dividends and other foreign transactions and geographical mix of profits.
Fourth quarter 2011 effective tax rate was 22.8%. On an adjusted basis1, fourth quarter 2011 tax rate was 26.3%, which was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to geographical mix of profits as well as a higher foreign tax credit benefit as a result of our decision to repatriate current year income from certain non U.S. subsidiaries.
Xerox operations are widely dispersed. The statutory tax rate in most non-U.S. jurisdictions is lower than the combined U.S. and state tax rate. The amount of income subject to these lower foreign rates relative to the amount of U.S. income will impact our effective tax rate. However, no one country outside of the U.S. is a significant factor to our overall effective tax rate. Certain foreign income is subject to U.S. tax net of any available foreign tax credits. Our full year effective tax rate includes a benefit of approximately 10-percentage points from these non-U.S. operations, which is comparable to 2011.
Our effective tax rate is based on nonrecurring events as well as recurring factors, including the taxation of foreign income. In addition, our effective tax rate will change based on discrete or other nonrecurring events that may not be predictable. We anticipate that our effective tax rate for 2013 will be approximately 28%, excluding the effects of intangibles amortization and other discrete events.
Equity in Net Income of Unconsolidated Affiliates
Equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates, which primarily reflects our 25% share of Fuji Xerox net income, was $47 million, an increase of $9 million compared to the fourth quarter 2011.
Fourth quarter 2012 equity income includes charges of $1 million related to our share of Fuji Xerox after-tax restructuring, compared to $3 million of charges for the fourth quarter 2011.
Net Income
Fourth quarter 2012 net income attributable to Xerox was $335 million, or $0.26 per diluted share. On an adjusted basis1, net income attributable to Xerox was $386 million, or $0.30 per diluted share. Fourth quarter 2012 adjustments to net income reflect the amortization of intangible assets.
Fourth quarter 2011 net income attributable to Xerox was $375 million, or $0.26 per diluted share. On an adjusted basis1, net income attributable to Xerox was $462 million, or $0.33 per diluted share. Fourth quarter 2011 adjustments to net income reflect the amortization of intangible assets.

Services
Our Services segment comprises three service offerings: Business Process Outsourcing (“BPO”), Document Outsourcing (“DO”) and Information Technology Outsourcing (“ITO”).
Revenue
Fourth quarter 2012 Services total revenue of $3,054 million increased 7% from the fourth quarter 2011, with no impact from currency.
- BPO revenue increased 8%, with no impact from currency, and represented 56% of total Services revenue. BPO growth was driven by the government healthcare, other state government solutions, transportation and customer care businesses.
- DO revenue increased 2%, with no impact from currency, and represented 32% of total Services revenue. Growth was driven primarily by our new partner print services offerings. Xerox continues as the market leader in this segment of the Document Technology market.
- ITO revenue increased 15%, including a 1-percentage point negative impact from currency, and represented 12% of total Services revenue. ITO growth was driven by the revenue ramp resulting from strong signings growth in recent quarters and also includes 1-percentage point of growth related to intercompany services, which is eliminated in total Services segment revenue.
Segment Margin
Fourth quarter 2012 Services segment margin of 11.2% increased 0.9-percentage points from fourth quarter 2011, driven primarily by the benefits from restructuring and lower SAG, primarily in Document Outsourcing. On a sequential basis, segment margin improved by 1.8-percentage points from the third quarter 2012, driven by the positive impact of contract ramp, benefits from restructuring and typical seasonality within Document Outsourcing.
Metrics
Pipeline
Our total Services sales pipeline, including synergy opportunities, grew 6% over the fourth quarter 2011. This sales pipeline includes the Total Contract Value (“TCV”) of new business opportunities that potentially could be contracted within the next six months and excludes business opportunities with estimated annual recurring revenue in excess of $100 million.
Signings
Signings are defined as estimated future revenues from contracts signed during the period, including renewals of existing contracts. Services signings were an estimated $2.9 billion in TCV for the quarter.
- BPO signings of $1.4 billion TCV.
- DO signings of $1.1 billion TCV.
- ITO signings of $400 million TCV.
Signings on a trailing twelve month basis declined 25% in relation to the comparable prior year period. This decline was driven by a decrease in megadeals from the prior year as well as customer decision delays. While the total number of BPO/ITO contracts signed in 2012 increased from 2011, the decline in megadeals drove a reduction in the average contract length of new business signings in the fourth quarter and full year 2012. The above DO signings figure represents Enterprise signings only and does not include signings from our partner print services offerings, which is driving the revenue growth in Document Outsourcing.
Note: TCV is estimated total revenue for future contracts for pipeline or signed contracts for signings as applicable.
Renewal rate (for BPO and ITO)
Renewal rate is defined as the annual recurring revenue (“ARR”) on contracts that are renewed during the period as a percentage of ARR on all contracts on which a renewal decision was made during the period. The fourth quarter 2012 contract renewal rate for BPO and ITO contracts was 79%, which is below our target range of 85%-90%. This reflects the impact of timing as well as price discipline. Our full year 2012 renewal rate was 85%, which was within our target range and five points higher than full year 2011.
Document Technology
Our Document Technology segment includes the sale of products and supplies, as well as the associated technical service and financing of those products.

Fourth quarter 2012 Document Technology revenue of $2,495 million decreased 8% from the fourth quarter 2011, with no impact from currency. Document Technology revenues exclude the impact of growth in our document outsourcing services. Inclusive of document outsourcing services, fourth quarter 2012 aggregate document-related revenue decreased 5% from the fourth quarter 2011, with no impact from currency. Full year 2012 aggregate document-related revenue decreased 5% from 2011, with a 2-percentage point negative impact from currency. Document Technology segment revenue results included the following:
- Equipment sales revenue decreased by 14%, with no impact from currency. This decline, primarily in mid-range and high-end equipment, was driven by delayed customer decision-making due to a weak macro-environment. In addition, the decline was driven by a difficult compare in the U.S. in the fourth quarter 2011, especially in our mid-range color product area. Price declines were in the historical 5% to 10% range.
- Annuity revenue decreased by 4%, with no impact from currency, driven by a modest decline in total pages and the continued migration of customers to our partner print services offering, which is included in our Services segment.
- Document Technology revenue mix was 21% entry, 58% mid-range and 21% high-end, which was consistent with the fourth quarter 2011.
Segment Margin
Fourth quarter 2012 Document Technology segment margin of 12.3% increased by 0.6-percentage points from the fourth quarter 2011. Productivity improvements, restructuring savings and a gain recognized on the sale of finance receivables (discussed further in the Capital Resources and Liquidity section) more than offset the impact of price declines.
Total Installs (Document Technology and Document Outsourcing2)
Install activity includes installations for document outsourcing and Xerox-branded products shipped to Global Imaging Systems (“GIS”). Detail by product group is shown below:
Entry
- 24% increase in black-and-white multifunction devices driven by demand for the recently launched WorkCentre® 3045.
- 34% increase in color multifunction devices driven by demand for the WorkCentre® 6015, WorkCentre® 6605 and the ColorQube 8700/8900.
- 28% decrease in color printers driven by a decrease in sales to OEM partners.
Mid-Range
- 13% decrease in installs of mid-range color devices. A decline in North America was driven primarily by a difficult compare in the U.S. in the fourth quarter 2011.
- 19% decrease in installs of mid-range black-and-white devices.
High-End
- 15% increase in installs of high-end color systems driven by strong demand for the Xerox Color 770, which has enabled large market share gains in the Entry Production Color market segment.
- 36% decrease in installs of high-end black-and-white systems, reflecting continued declines in the overall market.
Note: “Entry”, “Mid-Range” and “High-End” are defined in Appendix II.
Other
Revenue
Fourth quarter 2012 Other revenue of $374 million decreased 4% from the fourth quarter 2011, including a 1-percentage point negative impact from currency. The decline is due primarily to lower patent sales and licensing revenue. Paper comprised approximately 55% of the fourth quarter 2012 Other segment revenue.
Segment Margin
Fourth quarter 2012 Other segment loss of $59 million increased $29 million from the fourth quarter 2011, primarily driven by higher Other Expenses, Net as well as lower profits from patent sales and licensing.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,773 million in the fourth quarter 2012. The $495 million increase in cash from the fourth quarter 2011 was primarily due to the following:
- $421 million increase from finance receivables primarily due to a sale of receivables, as well as higher net run-off of finance receivables as a result of lower equipment sales.
- $71 million increase primarily related to the timing of payments of accounts payable and accrued compensation.
- $25 million increase due to lower restructuring payments.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $160 million in the fourth quarter 2012. The $20 million increase in the use of cash from the fourth quarter 2011 was primarily due to lower cash receipts from asset sales.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $1,250 million in the fourth quarter 2012. The $237 million increase in the use of cash from the fourth quarter 2011 was primarily due to the following:
- $297 million increase from net debt activity. Fourth quarter 2012 reflects a decrease of $844 million in Commercial Paper as compared to a decrease of $551 million in Commercial Paper in the fourth quarter of 2011.
- $58 million decrease resulting from lower share repurchases.

The decrease in total debt from December 31, 2011 is primarily a result of a decrease in Commercial Paper.
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.

Sales of Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable sales arrangements are utilized in the normal course of business as part of our cash and liquidity management. We have facilities in the U.S., Canada and several countries in Europe that enable us to sell to third-parties, on an on-going basis, certain accounts receivable without recourse. The accounts receivables sold are generally short-term trade receivables with payment due dates of less than 60 days. Accounts receivable sales were as follows:

Sales of Finance Receivables
In December 2012, we sold our entire interest in a group of U.S. finance receivables from our Document Technology segment with a net carrying value of $341 million to a third-party financial institution for net cash proceeds of $314 million and a beneficial interest from the purchaser of $49 million. This transaction enabled us to lower the cost associated with our financing portfolio.
A pre-tax gain of $21 million was recognized on this sale and is net of additional fees and expenses of $2 million. The gain on the sale is reported in Finance Income in Document Technology segment revenues. We will continue to service the sold receivables and expect to record servicing fee income of approximately $6 million over the expected life of the associated receivables. A similar sale was completed in the third quarter 2012.

The Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information or future events or developments, except as required by law.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We have reported our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). In addition, we have discussed the non-GAAP measures described below. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are set forth below as well as in the 2012 fourth quarter presentation slides available at www.xerox.com/investor.
These non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted Earnings Measures
To better understand the trends in our business, we believe it is necessary to adjust the following amounts determined in accordance with GAAP to exclude the effects of the certain items as well as their related income tax effects.
- Net income and Earnings per share (“EPS”)
- Effective tax rate
In 2012 and 2011 we adjusted for the 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. Accordingly, due to the incomparability of acquisition activity among companies and from period to period, we believe exclusion of the amortization associated with intangible assets acquired through our acquisitions allows investors to better compare and understand our results. 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.
We also calculate and utilize an Operating income and margin earnings measure by adjusting our pre-tax income and margin amounts to exclude certain items. In addition to the amortization of intangible assets, operating income and margin also exclude Other expenses, net as well as Restructuring and asset impairment charges. The fourth quarter and full year 2011 operating income and margin also exclude a Curtailment gain recorded in the fourth quarter 2011. Other expenses, net is primarily comprised of non-financing interest expense and also includes certain other non-operating costs and expenses. Restructuring and asset impairment charges consist of costs primarily related to severance and benefits for employees pursuant to formal restructuring and workforce reduction plans. Such charges are expected to yield future benefits and savings with respect to our operational performance. The Curtailment gain resulted from the amendment of our primary non-union U.S. defined benefit pension plans for salaried employees to fully freeze future benefit and service accruals after December 31, 2012. 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
To better understand trends in our business, we believe that it is helpful to adjust revenue to exclude the impact of changes in the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars. We refer to this adjusted revenue as “constant currency.” Currencies for developing market countries (Latin America, Brazil, Middle East, India, Eurasia and Central-Eastern Europe) that we operate in are reported at actual exchange rates for both actual and constant revenue growth rates because (1) these countries historically have had volatile currency and inflationary environments and (2) our subsidiaries in these countries have historically taken pricing actions to mitigate the impact of inflation and devaluation. Management believes the constant currency measure provides investors an additional perspective on revenue trends. Currency impact can be determined as the difference between actual growth rates and constant currency growth rates.
Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional means of analyzing the current period’s results against the corresponding prior period’s results. 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 consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our 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.
A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures and the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are set forth on the following tables:
