Our Strategy

 

LOGO

We are well-positioned to lead in this large and growing market through:

Executing on Growth Initiatives

 

·  

Accelerating the transition to color – We have the broadest color portfolio in the industry and leading technologies.

 

  Color is the fastest growing portion of our market and estimated at $44 billion.

 

  Economic cost and quality improvements are driving the transition from black-and-white to color.

 

  We continue to capture growth opportunities within the black-and-white segment of our core markets, which we estimate is a $62 billion market.

 

·  

Building on services leadership – We lead the industry with end-to-end Document Management Services and we participate in three areas of the outsourcing services market:

 

  Infrastructure Outsourcing, where we help our customers to reduce their enterprise spend through differentiated technology, skills and automation.

 

  Application Outsourcing, where we help our customers to streamline their document intensive business processes through automation and deployment of software applications and tools.
  Business Process Outsourcing, where our customers leverage our global delivery capability and proprietary production imaging software to manage both high volume standardized activities as well as lower volume complex workflows.

 

·

 

Driving the New Business of Printing® We continue to create new market opportunities with digital printing as a complement to traditional offset printing through a market transition we call the “New Business of Printing”.

 

  We are driving the New Business of Printing opportunity by identifying applications which are suitable for digital production.

 

 

Our leading business development tools, workflow and digital technology, led by our market-making Xerox iGen® technology, uniquely positions us to meet the increasing demand for short-run, customized and quick-turnaround offset quality printing.

Our Business Model Fundamentals

LOGO

 

One fundamental of our business model is our annuity model. Post sale revenue growth is driven by increasing equipment installation which increases the number of page-producing machines in the field (“MIF”) and by expanding the document management services we offer our customers. 73% of our 2008 total revenue was post sale revenue that includes equipment maintenance and consumable supplies, among other elements. We sell the majority of our equipment through sales-type leases that we record as equipment sale revenue. Equipment sales represented 27% of our 2008 total revenue.

 

Revenue stream

 

LOGO

 

   


Table of Contents

 

The number of equipment installations and the growth in document management services are key indicators of post sale revenue trends. The mix of color pages is also a significant indicator of post sale revenue trends because color pages use more consumables per page than black-and-white. In addition, expanding our market, particularly within the New Business of Printing, is key to increasing pages and we have developed tools and resources to be the leader in this large market opportunity.

Our consistent cash flow from operations is driven by recurring revenues; this, along with modest capital investments, enables us to provide a return to shareholders through:

 

·  

Expanding our distribution though acquisitions;

 

·  

Buying back shares under our share repurchase program and

 

·  

Maintaining our quarterly dividend.

We anticipate expanding our future earnings through:

 

·  

Modest revenue growth;

 

·  

Driving cost efficiencies to balance gross profit and expense;

 

·  

Leveraging our share repurchase and

 

·  

Making accretive acquisitions.

 

Acquisitions

To further strengthen our distribution capacity, in 2008 we completed several acquisitions.

We acquired Veenman B.V. (“Veenman”), expanding our reach into the small and mid-size business market in the Netherlands. Veenman is the Netherlands’ leading independent distributor of office printers, copiers and multifunction devices serving small and mid-size businesses.

Global Imaging Systems, Inc. (“GIS”) acquired Saxon Business Systems, an office equipment supplier with offices throughout Florida and three smaller acquisitions: Better Quality Business Systems, Precision Copier Service Inc. DBA Sierra Office Solutions and Inland Business Systems of Chico.

Segment Information

Our reportable segments are Production, Office and Other. We present operating segment financial information in Note 2 – Segment Reporting in the Consolidated Financial Statements, which we incorporate by reference here. We have a very broad and diverse base of customers by both geography and industry, ranging from SMB to graphic communications companies, governmental entities, educational institutions and large fortune 1000 corporate accounts. None of our business segments depends upon a single customer, or a few customers, the loss of which would have a material adverse effect on our business.

2008 Production Goals

Our 2008 goals for the Production segment were to continue to strengthen our leadership position in monochrome and color and to build on the power of digital printing. Our New Business of Printing strategy complements the traditional offset market and continues to transform our industry. We are enabling print providers in graphic communications and large enterprises to profit and grow by meeting their customers’ specific business needs with just-in-time, one-to-one and e-based services – rather than simply manufacturing a printed piece. Having the right business modelSM, the right workflowSM and the right technologySM are fundamental to this transformation.

We continued our application-focused approach to assist our customers in implementing solutions in four major categories. This approach provided our customers end-to-end applications for Collaterals by Request, Books, Transactional/Promotional and Direct Mail.

During the 2008 drupa tradeshow that is held every four years, we announced 12 new offerings and 50 applications; building on our heritage of innovation and our in-depth understanding of both the printing industry and customer requirements.

We continued to increase installations of our flagship Digital Color Production Presses. We are the industry leader in the number of pages produced on digital production color presses, with our flagship Xerox iGen4® Digital Production Press, iGen3® Digital Production Press and DocuColor® Digital Presses. Over 325 customers have installed two or more iGen presses to meet their increased demand.

 

In 2008, we continued to build on our unmatched product breadth, world class market and business development tools and integrated end-to-end applications. Below are some of the key accomplishments that enabled us to achieve our goals:

Other

The Other segment primarily includes revenue from paper sales, value-added services, wide-format systems and GIS network integration solutions and electronic presentation systems.

We sell cut-sheet paper to our customers for use in their document processing products. The market for cut-sheet paper is highly competitive and revenues are significantly affected by pricing. Our strategy is to charge a premium over mill wholesale prices, which is adequate to cover our costs and the value we add as a distributor, as well as to provide unique products that enhance the New Business of Printing and color output.

An increasingly important part of our offering is value-added services, which utilizes our document industry knowledge and experience. Our value-added services deliver solutions that optimize our customers’ document output and infrastructure costs while streamlining, simplifying, and digitizing their document-intensive business processes. Through Xerox’s imaging centers, a company can scan and digitize documents to create secure, accessible and searchable online information archives, such as a library of car-rental contracts or construction blueprints. Often our value-added services solutions lead to larger managed services contracts which include our equipment, supplies, service, and labor. We report revenue from managed services contracts in the Production or Office segments. In 2008, the combined value-added services and managed services revenue, including equipment, totaled $3.8 billion.

In our wide-format systems business, we offer document processing products and devices designed to reproduce large engineering and architectural drawings up to three feet by four feet in size. In 2008 we launched:

 

·  

The Xerox 8254E and 8264E Wide Format Printers: Introduced in June, further enables customers to print robust, colorful large format graphic applications on a broad range of substrates quickly and easily.

 

·  

The Xerox 6279 Wide Format Printer: This printer continues our successful tradition in the CAD environment with its unsurpassed ease of operation and benchmark image quality.

Revenue

We sell the majority of our products and services under bundled lease arrangements, in which our customers pay a monthly amount for the equipment, maintenance, services, supplies and financing over the course of the lease agreement. These arrangements are beneficial to our customers and to us since, in addition to customers receiving a bundled offering, these arrangements allow us to maintain the customer relationship for future sales of equipment and services.

We analyze these arrangements to determine whether the equipment component meets certain accounting requirements such that the equipment fair value should be recorded as a sale at lease inception, that is, a sales-type lease. We allocate the remaining portion of the monthly minimum payments to the various elements of the lease based on fair value – service, maintenance, supplies and financing - that we generally recognize over the term of the lease agreement, and that we report as “post sale revenue”. In those arrangements that do not qualify as sales-type leases, which have increased as a result of our services-led strategy, we recognize revenue over the term of the lease agreement, whether rental or operating lease, and report it in “post sale revenue.” Our accounting policies for revenue recognition for leases and bundled arrangements are included in Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2008 Annual Report.

R,D&E expenses

(in millions)

 

LOGO

 

To ensure our success, we have aligned our R&D investment portfolio with our growth initiatives of accelerating the transition to color, enhancing customer value by building on our services leadership and by driving the New Business of Printing . 2008 R&D spending focused primarily on the development of high-end business applications to drive the New Business of Printing, extending our color capabilities, expanding our services offerings and delivering lower-cost platforms and customer productivity enablers. The Xerox iGen family, advanced next-generation digital printing presses that produce photographic-quality prints indistinguishable from offset, the Xerox Nuvera 288 Digital Perfecting System which boasts the fastest (288 duplex impressions per minute) digital duplex monochrome cut-sheet printer in the industry, and Xerox’s proprietary Solid Ink technology for the office are examples of the type of breakthrough technology we have developed and that we expect will drive future growth. Sustaining engineering expenses, which are the hardware engineering and software development costs we incur after we launch a product, are included in our R,D&E expenses.

Patents, Trademarks and Licenses

We are a technology company. Including our Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (“PARC”) and XMPie subsidiaries, we were awarded 609 U.S. utility patents in 2008. We were ranked 31st on the list of companies that were awarded the most U.S. patents during the year and would have been ranked about 27th with the inclusion of PARC and XMPie patents. Including our research partner Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd (“Fuji Xerox”), we were awarded over 940 U.S. utility patents in 2008. Our patent portfolio evolves as new patents are awarded to us and as older patents expire. As of December 31, 2008, we held approximately 8,900 design and utility U.S. patents. These patents expire at various dates up to 20 years or more from their original filing dates. While we believe that our portfolio of patents and applications has value, in general no single patent is essential to our business or any individual segment. In addition, any of our proprietary rights could be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented or may not provide significant competitive advantages.

In the U.S., we are party to numerous patent-licensing agreements and, in a majority of them, we license or assign our patents to others, in return for revenue and/or access to their patents. Most patent licenses expire concurrently with the expiration of the last patent identified in the license. In 2008, we added 11 agreements to our portfolio of patent licensing agreements, and either we or PARC was a licensor in all 11 of the agreements. We are also a party to a number of cross-licensing agreements with companies that hold substantial patent portfolios, including Canon, Microsoft, IBM, Hewlett Packard, Océ, Sharp, Samsung and Seiko Epson. These agreements vary in subject matter, scope, compensation, significance and time.

In the U.S., we own approximately 570 trademarks, either registered or applied for. These trademarks have a perpetual life, subject to renewal every ten years. We vigorously enforce and protect our trademarks.

Competition

Although we encounter aggressive competition in all areas of our business, we are the leader or among the leaders in each of our principal business segments. Our competitors range from large international companies to relatively small firms. We compete on the basis of technology, performance, price, quality, reliability, brand, distribution and customer service and support. To remain competitive we invest in and develop new products and services and continually improve our existing offerings. Our key competitors include Canon, Ricoh, Hewlett-Packard, and, in certain areas of the business, Pitney Bowes, Kodak, Océ, Konica-Minolta and Lexmark.

 

 


Table of Contents

 

We believe that our brand recognition, reputation for document knowledge and expertise, innovative technology, breadth of product offerings, global distribution channels, customer relationships and large customer base are important competitive advantages. We and our competitors continue to develop and market new and innovative products at competitive prices, and, at any given time, we may set new market standards for quality, speed and function.

 

Marketing and Distribution

 

 

Our brand is a valuable resource and continues to be ranked

among the top percentile of the most valuable

global brands.

 

 

 

 

We manage our business based on the principal business segments described earlier. However, we have organized the marketing, selling and distribution of our products and solutions according to geography and channel type. We sell our products and solutions directly to customers through our worldwide sales force and through a network of independent agents, dealers, value-added resellers, systems integrators and the Web. In the U.S. GIS continues to expand its network of office technology suppliers to serve an ever-expanding base of small and mid-size businesses. We utilize our direct sales force to address our customers’ more advanced technology, solutions and services requirements, and use cost-effective indirect distribution channels for basic product offerings.

In large enterprises, we follow a services-led approach that enables us to address two basic challenges facing large enterprises:

 

·  

How to optimize infrastructure to be both cost effective and globally consistent.

·  

How to improve the value proposition and communication with their customers.

In response to these needs, we offer a go-to-market approach that leads with the largest direct sales and service delivery force in the industry available on a globally consistent manner. This can range from hardware, software or services in whatever combination is necessary to meet the needs of that customer.

We market our Phaser line of color and monochrome laser-class and solid ink printers primarily through office information technology resellers, who typically access our products through distributors. We continue to expand our distribution partnerships in North America through additional information technology resellers and by enhancing our network of independent agents. We also continued to increase product offerings available through a two-tiered distribution model in Europe and developing markets.

We operate in over 160 countries worldwide. We develop, manufacture, market and support document management systems, supplies and services through a variety of distribution channels around the world.

Our reselling relationship with key partners contributed to our market coverage expansion and new business penetration. Through our global reseller alliance with Fujifilm, we distribute our production products and solutions to graphic communications customers as well as photo specialty markets spanning Retail, Professional Lab and Processing Center businesses. In 2008, we signed additional country-level contracts with Fujifilm Graphics Systems in Europe and developing markets to extend Xerox digital production systems reach to new commercial print customers and prospects. We continue to use our alliances to integrate “best in class” information technologies and services to deliver improved workflow and document output management enabling our customers to accelerate profitable revenue growth in their businesses. Through the world-class Xerox Business Partner Program we are able to deliver an extensive portfolio of products which streamline our customers’ workflows enabling them to reduce costs, improve operational efficiencies and drive new business opportunities.

In Europe, Africa, the Middle East, India, and parts of Asia, we distribute our products through Xerox Limited, a company established under the laws of England, and related non-U.S. companies which we refer to collectively as Xerox Limited. Xerox Limited enters into distribution agreements with unaffiliated third parties to provide distribution of our products in many of the countries located in these regions, and previously entered into agreements with unaffiliated third parties providing distribution of our products in Iran, Sudan, and Syria. Iran, Sudan and Syria, among others, have been designated as state sponsors of terrorism by the U.S. Department of State and are subject to U.S. economic sanctions. We maintain an export and sanctions compliance program and believe that we have been and are in compliance with U.S. laws and government regulations for these countries. In addition, we have no assets, liabilities, or operations in these countries other than liabilities under the distribution agreements. After observing required prior notice periods, Xerox Limited terminated its distribution agreements with distributors servicing Sudan and Syria in August 2006 and terminated its distribution agreement with the distributor servicing Iran in December 2006. Now, Xerox only has legacy obligations to third parties such as providing spare parts and supplies to these third parties. In 2008, we had total revenues of $17.6 billion, of which approximately $7.4 million was attributable to Iran and less than $0.2 million in total was attributable to Sudan and Syria.

In January 2006, Xerox Limited entered into a five-year distribution agreement with an unaffiliated third party covering distribution of our products in Libya. Libya is also designated as a state sponsor of terrorism by the U.S. Department of State. The decision to enter into this distribution agreement was made in light of recent U.S. federal government actions that have lifted the countrywide embargo previously imposed on Libya. Our sales in Libya through this distribution agreement will be subject to our export and sanctions compliance program and will be conducted according to the U.S. laws and government regulations that relate to Libya.

Customer Financing

We finance a large portion of customer purchases of Xerox equipment through our bundled lease arrangements. We believe that financing facilitates customer acquisition of Xerox technology and enhances our value proposition to the customer while providing Xerox a profitable revenue stream and a strong return on equity.

As a result of our customer financing program, we benefit by gaining in-depth knowledge of the products being leased and a deep understanding of the customer base and their use of our technology. This knowledge allows us to effectively manage the credit and residual value risk normally associated with financing. Our financing risk is further mitigated because the majority of our lease contracts are non-cancelable and include cancellation penalties approximately equal to the full value of the lease receivables.

Because our lease contracts permit customers to pay for equipment over time rather than at the date of installation, we maintain a certain level of debt to support our investment in these lease contracts. We fund our customer financing activity through a combination of cash generated from operations, cash on hand, borrowings under bank credit facilities and proceeds from capital market offerings. At December 31, 2008 we had $7.3 billion of finance receivables and $0.6 billion of equipment on operating leases, or Total Finance assets of $7.9 billion. We maintain an assumed 7:1 leverage ratio of debt to equity as compared to our Finance assets and therefore a significant portion of our $8.4 billion of debt is associated with our financing business.

In addition to being an excellent customer retention vehicle, our customer financing program also achieves an attractive gross margin which provides us a reasonable return on our investment in this business. This program is also a strong value proposition for our customers because it provides them a bundled monthly payment for their document management needs and an attractive financing alternative.

Globally, we have 57,100 direct employees. We have over

7,500 Sales Professionals, over 13,000 Managed Service

Employees at customer sites and over 13,000 Technical Service

Employees. In addition, we have over 6,500 Agents and

Concessionaires and over 10,000 resellers.

 

Service

As of December 31, 2008, we had a worldwide service force of approximately 13,000 employees and an extensive variable contract service force. We continue to expand our use of cost-effective remote service technology for basic product offerings while utilizing our direct service force and a variable contract service force to address customers’ more advanced technology requirements. The increasing use of a variable contract service force is consistent with our strategy to reduce service costs while maintaining high-quality levels of service. We believe that our service force represents a significant competitive advantage because it is continually trained on our products and its diagnostic equipment is state-of-the-art. We offer service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in major metropolitan areas around the world, providing a consistent and superior level of service worldwide.

Manufacturing and Supply

Our manufacturing and distribution facilities are located around the world. The company’s largest manufacturing site is in Webster, N.Y., where we make fusers, photoreceptors, Xerox iGen and Nuvera systems, components, consumables and other products. Additionally this year, updates were made at the EA Toner plant in Webster, N.Y. that was built in 2007 to give the plant the flexibility to meet demand for both first and second generations of EA Toner. This allows the plant to produce the new breakthrough Ultra Low-Melt EA Toner. Our remaining primary manufacturing operations are located in: Dundalk, Ireland for our high-end production products and consumables; and Wilsonville, Oregon for solid ink products, consumable supplies, and components for our Office segment products. We also have a major facility in Venray, Netherlands, that handles supplies manufacturing and supply chain management for the eastern hemisphere.

We are currently in the second year of a master supply agreement with Flextronics, a global electronics manufacturing services company, to outsource portions of manufacturing for our Office segment. The agreement has a three year term, with two additional one-year extension periods at our option. Our inventory purchases from Flextronics currently represent approximately 15% of our overall worldwide inventory procurement and production. Our pricing for inventory sourced through Flextronics is generally market based. We have agreed to purchase from Flextronics some products and consumables within specified product families although we do have the ability to source product from other suppliers without penalty to extent needed. Flextronics is required to acquire inventory based on our forecasted requirements and must maintain sufficient manufacturing capacity to satisfy these requirements. Under certain circumstances, we may become obligated to purchase inventory that remains unused for more than 180 days, becomes obsolete or remains unused on the termination of the supply agreement. If Flextronics were unable to continue to supply product, it would not result in a material disruption to our business because Flextronics primarily provides contract assembly labor and we continue to manage the inbound sourcing and supply chain management of raw materials and sub-assembly parts. In addition,

we own the tooling and technology that Flextronics currently uses to produce our products; there are a number of alternative suppliers that could replace the contract assembly labor Flextronics provides and we have business resumption plans in place for Flextronics and other similar suppliers.

We acquire other office products from various third parties in order to increase the breadth of our product portfolio and meet channel requirements. We have arrangements with Fuji Xerox under which we purchase and sell products, some of which are the result of mutual research and development arrangements. Refer to Note 7 – Investments in Affiliates, at Equity in the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2008 Annual Report for additional information regarding our relationship with Fuji Xerox.

Fuji Xerox

Fuji Xerox is an unconsolidated entity in which we currently own a 25% interest and FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation (“FujiFilm”) owns a 75% interest. Fuji Xerox develops, manufactures and distributes document processing products in Japan, China, Hong Kong, other areas of the Pacific Rim, Australia and New Zealand. We retain significant rights as a minority shareholder. Our technology licensing agreements with Fuji Xerox ensure that the two companies retain uninterrupted access to each other’s portfolio of patents, technology and products.

International Operations

We are incorporating by reference the financial measures by geographical area for 2008, 2007 and 2006 that are included in Note 2 – Segment Reporting in the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2008 Annual Report. See also the risk factors entitled “Our business, results of operations and financial condition may be negatively impacted by economic conditions abroad, including fluctuating foreign currencies and shifting regulatory schemes.” in Part 1, Item 1A of this Form 10K.

Backlog

We believe that backlog, or the value of unfilled orders, is not a meaningful indicator of future business prospects because of the significant proportion of our revenue that follows equipment installation, the large volume of products we deliver from shelf inventories and the shortening of product life cycles.

Seasonality

Our revenues are affected by such factors as the introduction of new products, the length of the sales cycles and the seasonality of technology purchases. As a result, our operating results are difficult to predict. These factors have historically resulted in lower revenue in the first quarter than in the immediately preceding fourth quarter.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Current economic conditions and uncertain economic outlook could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

The global economy is currently undergoing a period of unprecedented volatility, which has affected the demand for equipment, services and supplies. A prolonged period of economic decline could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition and exacerbate the other risk factors we have described below. Possible effects of current and/or future adverse economic conditions on our business include: decrease in purchases or usage of our products, services and supplies by customers as increased unemployment of office workers leads to lower utilization of our equipment and reduced advertising and media spend adversely impacts the graphic arts market; reduction in purchases of products and supplies by channel partners due to their efforts to reduce inventory and conserve cash and/or their inability to obtain financing; disruption in our business due to our inability to obtain equipment, parts and supplies from our suppliers – and our suppliers from their suppliers – if marginal supply businesses fail; increase in the cost of our products acquired from Japan if the Yen strengthens against the U.S. Dollar and/or the Euro, decreasing our profit margins or forcing us to increase prices of our products, thereby making our products less affordable to customers; higher level of collection delinquencies due to insolvency of our customers or shortage of cash to support their businesses; and decrease in our ability to hedge currency exposures due to higher hedging costs because of extreme volatility of exchange rates.

We face significant competition and our failure to compete successfully could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

We operate in an environment of significant competition, driven by rapid technological advances and the demands of customers to become more efficient. Our competitors range from large international companies to relatively small firms. Some of the large international companies have significant financial resources and compete with us globally to provide document processing products and services in each of the markets we serve. We compete primarily on the basis of technology, performance, price, quality, reliability, brand, distribution and customer service and support. Our success in future performance is largely dependent upon our ability to compete successfully in the markets we currently serve and to expand into additional market segments. To remain competitive, we must develop new products, services and applications and periodically enhance our existing offerings. If we are unable to compete successfully, we could lose market share and important customers to our competitors and that could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

 

If we fail to successfully develop new products and technologies and protect our intellectual property rights, we may be unable to retain current customers and gain new customers and our revenues would be reduced.

The process of developing new high technology products and solutions is inherently complex and uncertain. It requires accurate anticipation of customers’ changing needs and emerging technological trends. We must make long-term investments and commit significant resources before knowing whether these investments will eventually result in products that achieve customer acceptance and generate the revenues required to provide desired returns. In developing these new technologies and products, we rely upon patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws in the United States and similar laws in other countries, and agreements with our employees, customers, suppliers and other parties, to establish and maintain our intellectual property rights in technology and products used in our operations. However, the laws of certain countries may not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States and we may be unable to protect our proprietary technology adequately against unauthorized third-party copying or use, which could adversely affect our competitive position. In addition, some of our products rely on technologies developed by third parties. We may not be able to obtain or to continue to obtain licenses and technologies from these third parties at all or on reasonable terms, or such third parties may demand cross-licenses to our intellectual property. It is also possible that our intellectual property rights could be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, allowing others to use our intellectual property to our competitive detriment. We also must ensure that all of our products comply with existing and newly enacted applicable regulatory requirements in the countries in which they are sold, particularly European Union environmental directives. If we fail to accurately anticipate and meet our customers’ needs through the development of new technologies and products or if we fail to adequately protect our intellectual property rights or if our new products are not widely accepted or if our current or future products fail to meet applicable worldwide regulatory requirements, we could lose market share and customers to our competitors and that could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Our profitability is dependent upon our ability to obtain adequate pricing for our products and to improve our cost structure.

Our success depends on our ability to obtain adequate pricing for our products and services which provides a reasonable return to our shareholders. Depending on competitive market factors, future prices we obtain for our products and services may decline from previous levels. In addition, pricing actions to offset the effect of currency devaluations may not prove sufficient to offset further

 

   


Table of Contents

 

devaluations or may not hold in the face of customer resistance and/or competition. If we are unable to obtain adequate pricing for our products and services, it could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

We continually review our operations with a view towards reducing our cost structure, including but not limited to downsizing our employee base, exiting certain businesses, improving process and system efficiencies and outsourcing some internal functions. We from time to time engage in restructuring actions to reduce our cost structure. If we are unable to continue to maintain our cost base at or below the current level and maintain process and systems changes resulting from prior restructuring actions, it could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Our ability to sustain and improve profit margins is dependent on a number of factors, including our ability to continue to improve the cost efficiency of our operations through such programs as Lean Six Sigma, the level of pricing pressures on our products and services, the proportion of high-end as opposed to low-end equipment sales, the trend in our post-sale revenue growth and our ability to successfully complete information technology initiatives. If any of these factors adversely materialize or if we are unable to achieve productivity improvements through design efficiency, supplier and manufacturing cost improvements and information technology initiatives, our ability to offset labor cost inflation, potential materials cost increases and competitive price pressures would be impaired, all of which could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

We have outsourced a significant portion of our overall worldwide manufacturing operations and face the risks associated with relying on third party manufacturers and external suppliers.

We have outsourced a significant portion of our overall worldwide manufacturing operations to third parties and various service providers. To the extent that we rely on third party manufacturing relationships, we face the risk that those manufacturers may not be able to develop manufacturing methods appropriate for our products, they may not be able to quickly respond to changes in customer demand for our products, they may not be able to obtain supplies and materials necessary for the manufacturing process, they may experience labor shortages and/or disruptions, manufacturing costs could be higher than planned and the reliability of our products could decline. If any of these risks were to be realized, and assuming similar third-party manufacturing relationships could not be established, we could experience interruptions in supply or increases in costs that might result in our being unable to meet customer demand for our products, damage our relationships with our customers and reduce our market share, all of which could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

 

Our business, results of operations and financial condition may be negatively impacted by economic conditions abroad, including fluctuating foreign currencies and shifting regulatory schemes.

Approximately half of our revenue is generated from operations outside the United States. In addition, we manufacture or acquire many of our products and/or their components from, and maintain significant operations, outside the United States. Our future revenues, costs and results of operations could be significantly affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates, as well as by a number of other factors, including changes in economic conditions from country to country, changes in a country’s political conditions, trade protection measures, licensing requirements, local tax issues, capitalization and other related legal matters. We generally hedge foreign currency denominated assets, liabilities and anticipated transactions primarily through the use of currency derivative contracts. The use of derivative contracts is intended to mitigate or reduce transactional level volatility in the results of foreign operations, but does not completely eliminate volatility. We do not hedge the translation effect of international revenues and expenses, which are denominated in currencies other than our U.S. parent functional currency, within our consolidated financial statements. If our future revenues, costs and results of operations are significantly affected by economic conditions abroad and we are unable to effectively hedge these risks, they could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Our operating results may be negatively impacted by lower equipment placements and revenue trends.

Our ability to maintain a consistent trend of revenue growth over the intermediate to longer term is largely dependent upon expansion of our worldwide equipment placements, as well as sales of services and supplies occurring after the initial equipment placement (post sale revenue) in the key growth markets of digital printing, color and multifunction systems. We expect that revenue growth can be further enhanced through our document management and consulting services in the areas of personalized and product life cycle communications, office and production services and document content and imaging. The ability to achieve growth in our equipment placements is subject to the successful implementation of our initiatives to provide advanced systems, industry-oriented global solutions and services for major customers, improve direct sales productivity and expand our indirect distribution channels in the face of global competition and pricing pressures. Our ability to increase post sale revenue is largely dependent on our ability to increase the volume of pages printed, the mix of color pages, equipment utilization and color adoption, as well as our ability to retain a high level of supplies sales in unbundled contracts. Equipment placements typically occur through leases with original terms of three to five years. There will

 

 


Table of Contents

 

be a lag between the increase in equipment placement and an increase in post sale revenues. The ability to grow our customers’ usage of our products may continue to be adversely impacted by the movement toward distributed printing and electronic substitutes and the impact of lower equipment placements in prior periods. If we are unable to maintain a consistent trend of revenue growth, it could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

We need to develop and expand the use of color printing and copying.

Increasing the proportion of pages which are printed in color and transitioning color pages currently produced on offset devices to Xerox technology represent key growth opportunities. A significant part of our strategy and ultimate success in this changing market is our ability to develop and market technology that produces color prints and copies quickly, easily, with high quality and at reduced cost. Our continuing success in this strategy depends on our ability to make the investments and commit the necessary resources in this highly competitive market, as well as the pace of color adoption by our existing and prospective customers. If we are unable to develop and market advanced and competitive color technologies or the pace of color adoption by our existing and prospective customers is less than anticipated, or the price of color pages declines at a greater rate and faster pace than we anticipate, we may be unable to capture these opportunities and it could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Our ability to fund our customer financing activities at economically competitive levels depends on our ability to borrow and the cost of borrowing in the credit markets.

The long-term viability and profitability of our customer financing activities is dependent, in part, on our ability to borrow and the cost of borrowing in the credit markets. This ability and cost, in turn, is dependent on our credit ratings and is subject to credit market volatility. We are currently funding our customer financing activity through a combination of cash generated from operations, cash on hand, capital market offerings, other borrowings and, to a lesser degree, third-party funding arrangements. Our ability to continue to offer customer financing and be successful in the placement of equipment with customers is largely dependent on our ability to obtain funding at a reasonable cost. If we are unable to continue to offer customer financing, it could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

 

Our significant debt could adversely affect our financial health and pose challenges for conducting our business.

We have and will continue to have a significant amount of debt and other obligations, primarily to support our customer financing activities. As of December 31, 2008, we had $8.4 billion of total debt and a $648 million liability to a subsidiary trust issuing preferred securities. The total value of finance assets, shown on the balance sheet as Finance receivables and On-lease equipment, was $7.9 billion at December 31, 2008. The total cash and cash equivalents was $1.2 billion at December 31, 2008. Our substantial debt and other obligations could have important consequences. For example, it could (i) increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; (ii) limit our ability to obtain additional financing for future working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate requirements; (iii) increase our vulnerability to interest rate fluctuations because a portion of our debt has variable interest rates; (iv) require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to service debt and other obligations thereby reducing the availability of our cash flows from operations for other purposes; (v) limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate; (vi) place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; and (vii) become due and payable upon a change in control. If new debt is added to our current debt levels, these related risks could increase.

We need to maintain adequate liquidity in order to have sufficient cash to meet operating cash flow requirements, repay maturing debt and meet other financial obligations, such as payment of dividends to the extent declared by our Board of Directors. If we fail to comply with the covenants contained in our various borrowing agreements, it may adversely affect our liquidity, results of operations and financial condition.

Our liquidity is a function of our ability to successfully generate cash flows from a combination of efficient operations and improvement therein, access to capital markets, securitizations, funding from third parties and borrowings secured by our finance receivables portfolios. As of December 31, 2008, total cash and cash equivalents was $1.2 billion, and our borrowing capacity under our Credit Facility was $1.7 billion, reflecting $246 million of outstanding borrowings. We also have funding available through a secured borrowing arrangement with General Electric Capital Corporation (“GECC”). We believe our liquidity (including operating and other cash flows that we expect to generate) will be sufficient to meet operating requirements as they occur; however, our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity going forward depends on our ability to generate cash from operations and access to the capital markets, secured borrowings, securitizations and funding from third

parties, all of which are subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other market factors that are beyond our control.

The Credit Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants including limitations on: (i) liens of Xerox and certain of our subsidiaries securing debt; (ii) certain fundamental changes to corporate structure; (iii) changes in nature of business and (iv) limitations on debt incurred by certain subsidiaries. The Credit Facility contains financial maintenance covenants, including maximum leverage (debt for borrowed money divided by consolidated EBITDA, as defined) and a minimum interest coverage ratio (consolidated EBITDA divided by consolidated interest expense, as defined). The indentures governing our outstanding senior notes contain affirmative and negative covenants including limitations on: issuance of secured debt and preferred stock; investments and acquisitions; mergers; certain transactions with affiliates; creation of liens; asset transfers; hedging transactions; payment of dividends and certain other payments. They do not, however, contain any financial maintenance covenants, except the fixed charge coverage ratio applicable to certain types of payments. Some of the covenants under our senior notes are suspended while we are rated investment grade. Our U.S. Loan Agreement with GECC relating to our customer financing program (the “Loan Agreement”) provides for loans secured by eligible finance receivables up to $5 billion outstanding at any one time. As of December 31, 2008, $56 million was outstanding under the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement incorporates the financial maintenance covenants contained in the Credit Facility and contains other affirmative and negative covenants.

At December 31, 2008, we were in full compliance with the covenants and other provisions of the Credit Facility, the senior notes and the Loan Agreement. Failure to comply with material provisions of or covenants in the Credit Facility or the senior notes could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, results of operations and financial condition. Failure to comply with the covenants in the Loan Agreement would result in a termination event under the Loan Agreement and GECC would no longer be obligated to make further loans to us. If GECC were to make no further loans to us, and assuming that (a) our cash flow was inadequate and (b) we were unable to procure a similar facility or otherwise obtain replacement financing in the public debt markets, it could materially adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund our customers’ purchases of our equipment and this could materially adversely affect our results of operations.

 

Our business, results of operations and financial condition may be negatively impacted by legal and regulatory matters.

We have various contingent liabilities that are not reflected on our balance sheet, including those arising as a result of being involved in a variety of claims, lawsuits, investigations and proceedings concerning securities law, intellectual property law, environmental law, employment law and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”), as discussed in the “Contingencies” note in the Consolidated Financial Statements. 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.

Our operations and our products are subject to environmental regulations in each of the jurisdictions in which we conduct our business and sell our products. Some of our manufacturing operations use, and some of our products contain, substances that are regulated in various jurisdictions. For example, various countries and jurisdictions have adopted or are expected to adopt restrictions on the types and amounts of chemicals that may be present in electronic equipment or other items that we use or sell. If we do not comply with applicable rules and regulations in connection with the use of such substances and the sale of products containing such substances, then we could be subject to liability and could be prohibited from selling our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Further, various countries and jurisdictions have adopted or are expected to adopt, programs that make producers of electrical goods, including computers and printers, responsible for certain labeling, collection, recycling, treatment and disposal of these recovered products. If we are unable to collect, recycle, treat and dispose of our products in a cost-effective manner and in accordance with applicable requirements, it could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Other potentially relevant initiatives throughout the world include proposals for more extensive chemical registration requirements and/or possible bans on the use of certain chemicals, various efforts to limit energy use in products, and other environmentally related product programs. For example, the European Union’s Energy-Using Products Directive (“EUP”) is expected to lead to the adoption of “implementing measures” intended to require certain classes of products to achieve certain design and/or performance standards, in connection with energy use and potentially other environmental parameters and impacts. It is possible that some or all of our products may be required to comply with EUP implementing measures. Another example is the

European Union “REACH” Regulation (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals), a broad initiative that will require parties throughout the supply chain to register, assess and disclose information regarding many chemicals in their products. Depending on the types, applications, forms and uses of chemical substances in various products, REACH could lead to restrictions and/or bans on certain chemical usage. Xerox continues its efforts toward monitoring and evaluating the applicability of these and numerous other regulatory initiatives in an effort to develop compliance strategies. As these and similar initiatives and programs become regulatory requirements throughout the world and/or are adopted as public or private procurement requirements, we must comply or potentially face market access limitations that could have a material adverse affect on our operations and financial condition.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

None

Item 2. Properties

We own several manufacturing, engineering and research facilities and lease other facilities. Our principal manufacturing and engineering facilities, located in California, New York, Oklahoma, Canada, U.K., Ireland and the Netherlands, are used jointly by the Production and Office Segments. The facilities in Oregon are used by the Office Segment. Our principal research facilities are located in California, New York, Canada, France and the U.K. The research activities in our principal research centers benefit all of our operating segments.

As we have implemented our restructuring programs, including the restructuring in the fourth quarter of 2008 (refer to Note 9 – Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges in the Consolidated Financial Statements of our Annual Report, incorporated by reference), several leased and owned properties became surplus, including portions of our Dundalk, Ireland and Oklahoma City, OK manufacturing plants. We are obligated to maintain our leased surplus properties through required contractual periods. We have disposed or subleased certain of these properties and are aggressively pursuing the sale of owned surplus properties and the disposition and subleasing of remaining surplus. With respect to United States properties, at December 31, 2008, we maintained approximately 20 surplus facilities totaling approximately 711,408 square feet.

The Company utilizes a Virtual Office Program for the United States sales force. As part of this program, approximately 2,800 employees are working virtually. In combination with other initiatives, this program has reduced our real estate portfolio by approximately 941,100 square feet.

 

We also own or lease numerous facilities, which house general offices, sales offices, service locations and distribution centers. Our principal owned facilities are located in the United States, Ireland, Brazil and the Netherlands. Our principal leased facilities are located in the United States, Brazil, Canada, U.K., Mexico, France and Germany. In 2002, we entered into a joint venture (“Xerox Capital Services”) with General Electric to manage our administrative billing, credit and collection functions. Xerox Capital Services licenses several of our owned and leased facilities totaling approximately 292,814 square feet. Our three principal Xerox Capital Services administrative facilities are located in Texas, Illinois and New York. We also lease a portion of a training facility, located in Virginia. It is our opinion that our properties have been well maintained, are in sound operating condition and contain all the necessary equipment and facilities to perform their functions.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Management’s Responsibility for Financial Statements

Our management is responsible for the integrity and objectivity of all information presented in this annual report. The consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include amounts based on management’s best estimates and judgments. Management believes the consolidated financial statements fairly reflect the form and substance of transactions and that the financial statements fairly represent the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, which is composed solely of independent directors, meets regularly with the independent auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the internal auditors and representatives of management to review accounting, financial reporting, internal control and audit matters, as well as the nature and extent of the audit effort. The Audit Committee is responsible for the engagement of the independent auditors. The independent auditors and internal auditors have access to the Audit Committee.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the officers who certify the Company’s financial reports and to other members of senior management and the Board of Directors. Based on their evaluation as of December 31, 2008, our principal executive officer

 

 


Table of Contents

 

and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and was accumulated and communicated to the Company’s Management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in the rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive, financial and accounting officers, we have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Based on the above evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2008.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears in our 2008 Annual Report to Shareholders which is incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, there was no change identified in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Item 9B. Other Information

On February 12, 2009, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company took the following actions:
