FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and any exhibits to this Report may contain "forward-looking statements" as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “will,” “should” and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect Management's current beliefs, assumptions and expectations and are subject to a number of factors that may cause actual results to differ materially. Such factors include, but are not limited to: our ability to address our business challenges in order to reverse revenue declines, reduce costs and increase productivity so that we can invest in and grow our business; changes in economic conditions, political conditions, trade protection measures, licensing requirements and tax laws in the United States and in the foreign countries in which we do business; changes in foreign currency exchange rates; our ability to successfully develop new products, technologies and service offerings and to protect our intellectual property rights; the risk that multi-year contracts with governmental entities could be terminated prior to the end of the contract term and that civil or criminal penalties and administrative sanctions could be imposed on us if we fail to comply with the terms of such contracts and applicable law; the risk that partners, subcontractors and software vendors will not perform in a timely, quality manner; actions of competitors and our ability to promptly and effectively react to changing technologies and customer expectations; our ability to obtain adequate pricing for our products and services and to maintain and improve cost efficiency of operations, including savings from restructuring actions; the risk that individually identifiable information of customers, clients and employees could be inadvertently disclosed or disclosed as a result of a breach of our security systems; reliance on third parties, including subcontractors, for manufacturing of products and provision of services; our ability to manage changes in the printing environment and markets and expand equipment placements; interest rates, cost of borrowing and access to credit markets; funding requirements associated with our employee pension and retiree health benefit plans; the risk that our operations and products may not comply with applicable worldwide regulatory requirements, particularly environmental regulations and directives and anti-corruption laws; the outcome of litigation and regulatory proceedings to which we may be a party; the risk that we do not realize all of the expected strategic and financial benefits from the separation and spin-off of our Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) business; and other factors that are set forth in the “Risk Factors” section, the “Legal Proceedings” section, the “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section and other sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Xerox 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.

Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd. (“Fuji Xerox”) is a joint venture between Xerox Corporation and Fujifilm Holdings Corporation (“Fujifilm”) in which Xerox holds a 25% equity interest and Fujifilm holds the remaining equity interest. On April 20, 2017, Fujifilm publicly announced it formed an independent investigation committee to conduct a review of the appropriateness of the accounting practices at Fuji Xerox’s New Zealand subsidiary related to the recovery of receivables associated with certain sales leasing transactions that occurred in, or prior to, Fuji Xerox’s fiscal year ending March 31, 2016. In first quarter 2017, we recognized a charge of approximately $30 million, which represents our share of the current Fujifilm total adjustments from this review, as publicly disclosed by Fujifilm. Fujifilm has publicly stated that it expects the investigation will be completed in May 2017, and that it intends to disclose the results shortly thereafter. Given our status as a minority investor, we have limited contractual and other rights to information and rely on Fuji Xerox and Fujifilm to provide information to us and are not involved in the investigation, including its scope and timing of completion. Although we have no reason not to rely on Fujifilm’s current adjustment and we are not aware of any additional amounts related to this matter that would have a material effect on our financial statements including the related Xerox disclosures, this investigation is ongoing and our future results may include additional adjustments that are materially different from the amount of the charge that we have already recognized in connection with this matter and the period(s) to which the charge relates, and we can provide no assurances relative to the outcome of any governmental investigations or any consequences thereof. In addition, the summarized financial data we have reported for Fuji Xerox may change based on the results of the investigation.

XEROX CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(in millions, except per-share data and where otherwise noted)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
References herein to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” and “Xerox” refer to Xerox Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context suggests otherwise.
We have prepared the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with the accounting policies described in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K (2016 Annual Report), and the interim reporting requirements of Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. You should read these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2016 Annual Report.
In our opinion, all adjustments which are necessary for a fair statement of financial position, operating results and cash flows for the interim periods presented have been made. These adjustments consist of normal recurring items. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results of the full year.
For convenience and ease of reference, we refer to the financial statement caption “(Loss) Income before Income Taxes and Equity Income” as “pre-tax (loss) income.”
Overview
On December 31, 2016, Xerox Corporation completed the Separation of its Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) business from its Document Technology and Document Outsourcing (DT/DO) business (the “Separation”). The Separation was accomplished through the transfer of the BPO business into a new legal entity, Conduent Incorporated (Conduent), and then distributing one hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding common stock of Conduent to Xerox Corporation stockholders (the “Distribution”). The Separation and Distribution were structured to be tax-free for Xerox Corporation stockholders for federal income tax purposes. Conduent is now an independent public company trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “CNDT”. After the Separation, Xerox retained the DT/DO businesses and Xerox does not beneficially own any shares of Conduent common stock.
As a result of the Separation and Distribution, the financial position and results of operations of the BPO business are presented as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations for all periods presented. The accompanying Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have all been revised to reflect the effect of the Separation and Distribution and all prior year balances have been revised accordingly to reflect continuing operations only. The historical statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Shareholders' Equity have not been revised to reflect the Separation and instead reflect the Separation and Distribution as a final adjustment to the balances at December 31, 2016. Refer to Note 3 - Divestitures for additional information regarding discontinued operations.
In connection with the Separation, Xerox entered into several agreements with Conduent to (1) effect the legal and structural separation of Xerox and Conduent, (2) govern the relationship between Xerox and Conduent up to and after the completion of the Separation and (3) allocate between Xerox and Conduent various assets, liabilities and obligations, including, among other things, employee benefits and tax-related assets and liabilities. The agreements entered into included a separation and distribution agreement, a transition service agreement, a tax matters agreement, an employee matters agreement, an intellectual property agreement and a trademark license agreement.
Segment Discussion
Following the separation of the BPO business, we realigned our operations to better manage the business and serve our customers and the markets in which we operate. In 2017 we transitioned to a geographic focus and are primarily organized from a sales perspective on the basis of “go-to-market” sales channels. These sales channels are structured to serve a range of customers for our products and services. As a result of this transition and change in structure, we concluded that we have one operating and reportable segment - the design, development and sale of document management systems and solutions. Our chief executive officer was identified as the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). All of the Company’s activities are interrelated, and each activity is dependent upon and supportive of the other including product development, supply chain and back-office support services. In

addition, all significant operating decisions are largely based upon an analysis of Xerox at the consolidated level, including assessments related to the Company’s incentive compensation plan, as well as operating decisions at the Board level.

Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), to supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than required under existing U.S. GAAP, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2014-09, the FASB issued the following ASU’s which amend or provide additional guidance on topics addressed in ASU 2014-09. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue Recognition - Principal versus Agent (reporting revenue gross versus net). In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue Recognition - Identifying Performance Obligations and Licenses. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Revenue Recognition - Narrow Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients. We will adopt this standard beginning January 1, 2018 and expect to use the permitted modified retrospective method. Under current revenue recognition guidance, a significant majority of our revenue is recorded when we invoice customers, as that is normally the point at which all the revenue recognition criteria are met. Under ASU 2014-09, we expect the unit of accounting, that is, the identification of performance obligations, will be consistent with current revenue guidance. Additionally, based on the nature of our contracts we expect to continue to recognize revenue upon invoicing the customer for the large majority of our revenue when we adopt ASU 2014-09. Accordingly, the adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact for the large majority of our revenues. Additionally, a significant portion of our equipment sales are either recorded as sales-type leases or through direct sales to distributors and resellers and these sales are not expected to be impacted by the adoption of ASU 2014-09. We are continuing to evaluate certain contracts, which are more complex or where revenue recognition criteria are not currently met when invoicing occurs, to determine their treatment under ASU 2014-09. Although at this time we don’t expect a material change in our revenue recognition, in 2017 we expect to continue to evaluate the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements. Additionally, we are also assessing the impacts of the disclosures and cost deferral guidance required by ASU 2014-09. ASU 2014-09 requires additional disclosures. Our deferral of costs are minimal under our current practice and therefore the new guidance is expected to require more cost deferrals upon adoption. We are currently assessing the types and amounts of costs that may be eligible for deferral under the new standard.
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. This update requires the recognition of leased assets and lease obligations by lessees for those leases currently classified as operating leases under existing lease guidance. Short term leases with a term of 12 months or less are not required to be recognized. The update also requires disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements to increase transparency and comparability among organizations. The accounting for lessors does not fundamentally change except for changes to conform and align guidance to the lessee guidance as well as to the new revenue recognition guidance in ASU 2014-09. This update is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on our consolidated financial statements. The aggregate undiscounted value of our operating lease commitments at December 31, 2016 was approximately $450.
Cash Flows
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This update provides specific guidance on eight cash flow classification issues where current GAAP is either unclear or does not include specific guidance. This update is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. This update includes specific guidance which requires cash collected on beneficial interests received in a sale of receivables be classified as inflows from investing activities. Currently, those collections are reported in operating cash flows. We reported $270 and $305 of collections on beneficial interests as operating cash inflows on the Statement of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The other seven issues noted in this update are not expected to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Additionally, in November 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows - Restricted Cash. The update requires that amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. We held $149 and $179 of restricted cash, currently reported in other current or long-term assets at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. This update is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption of ASU 2016-18 may have on our statements of cash flows in future reporting periods.
Stock Compensation
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718). This update includes provisions to simplify certain aspects related to the accounting for share-based awards and the related financial statement presentation. The update also requires that excess tax benefits and deficiencies be recorded in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled as compared to equity as allowed under certain conditions by current US GAAP. This change is required to be adopted prospectively in the period of adoption. In addition, the ASU modifies the classification of certain share-based payment activities within the statements of cash flows and these changes are required to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. We adopted ASU 2016-09 effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2017. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-09 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, the impacts may vary and may add volatility to our income tax expense in future periods depending upon, among other things, the level of tax expense and the price of the Company's common stock at the date of vesting for share-based awards. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, we recognized $2 of additional tax expense related to the application of this update.
Income Taxes
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes - Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory. This update requires recognition of the income-tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of assets other than inventory when the transfer occurs. Under current GAAP, recognition of the income tax consequences for asset transfers other than inventory could not be recognized until the asset was sold to a third party. This update is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018 and should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-16 on our consolidated financial statements.
Financial Instruments - Credit Losses
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets. The update impacts financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. This update is effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted as of January 1, 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements.

Retirement Benefits
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. This update changes how employers that sponsor defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement plans present the net periodic benefit cost in the income statement. An employer is required to report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. Other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. The amendment also allows only the service cost component to be eligible for capitalization, when applicable. This update is effective for us beginning January 1, 2018. Although early adoption is permitted, we do not expect to early adopt. The amendment will be applied retrospectively for the presentation requirements and prospectively for the capitalization of the service cost component requirements. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Other Updates
In 2017, 2016 and 2015, the FASB also issued the following Accounting Standards Updates which did not have or are not expected to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption. Those updates are as follows:


Xerox 2017 Form 10-Q

Note 3 – Divestitures
Business Process Outsourcing (BPO)
As previously disclosed, on December 31, 2016, Xerox completed the Separation of its BPO business through the Distribution of all of the issued and outstanding stock of Conduent to Xerox Corporation stockholders. As a result of the Separation and Distribution, the financial position and results of operations of the BPO Business are presented as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations for all periods presented.
Separation costs were $8 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 and are included in Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Separation costs are primarily for third-party investment banking, accounting, legal, consulting and other similar types of services related to the Separation transaction as well as costs associated with the operational separation of the two companies, such as those related to human resources, brand management, real estate and information management to the extent they were not capitalized. Separation costs also include the costs associated with bonuses and restricted stock grants awarded to employees for retention through the Separation.

(1) In addition to the $8 of Separation related costs, 2016 includes $1 of interest on the $1.0 billion Senior Unsecured Term Facility, which was required to be repaid upon completion of the Separation and therefore was also reported in the Loss from discontinued operations.
Refer to Note 9 - Debt for additional information regarding the Separation Debt Activity.
In January 2017, as provided for in the Separation Agreement, we received a distribution from Conduent of $161 representing the final adjustment required to set Conduent's cash balance at $225 as of the Separation. This amount was recorded as a receivable from Conduent included in Other Current Assets at December 31, 2016. The cash receipt was reported in Cash Flows from Financing Activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as it represented an adjustment to our Distribution of Conduent.

We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and adjust credit limits based upon customer payment history and current creditworthiness. The allowance for uncollectible accounts receivables is determined principally on the basis of past collection experience as well as consideration of current economic conditions and changes in our customer collection trends.
Accounts Receivable Sales Arrangements
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 certain accounts receivable, without recourse, to third-parties. The accounts receivables sold are generally short-term trade receivables with payment due dates of less than 60 days.
All of our arrangements involve the sale of our entire interest in groups of accounts receivable for cash. In most instances a portion of the sales proceeds are held back by the purchaser and payment is deferred until collection of the related receivables sold. Such holdbacks are not considered legal securities nor are they certificated. We report collections on such receivables as operating cash flows in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows because such receivables are the result of an operating activity and the associated interest rate risk is de minimis due to their short-term nature. Our risk of loss following the sales of accounts receivable is limited to the outstanding deferred purchase price receivable. These receivables are included in Other current assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and were $53 and $48 at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.
Under most of the arrangements, we continue to service the sold accounts receivable. When applicable, a servicing liability is recorded for the estimated fair value of the servicing. The amounts associated with the servicing liability were not material.
Of the accounts receivable sold and derecognized from our balance sheet, $473 and $531 remained uncollected as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.
Accounts receivable sales were as follows:

Note 5 - Finance Receivables, Net
Finance Receivables – Allowance for Credit Losses and Credit Quality
Finance receivables include sales-type leases, direct financing leases and installment loans arising from the marketing of our equipment. Our finance receivable portfolios are primarily in the U.S., Canada and Europe. We generally establish customer credit limits and estimate the allowance for credit losses on a country or geographic basis. Our policy and methodology used to establish our allowance for doubtful accounts has been consistently applied over all periods presented.
 
The following table is a rollforward of the allowance for doubtful finance receivables as well as the related investment in finance receivables:

Total Finance receivables exclude the allowance for credit losses of $111 and $126 at March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
We evaluate our customers based on the following credit quality indicators:
Investment grade: This rating includes accounts with excellent to good business credit, asset quality and capacity to meet financial obligations. These customers are less susceptible to adverse effects due to shifts in economic conditions or changes in circumstance. The rating generally equates to a Standard & Poor's (S&P) rating of BBB- or better. Loss rates in this category are normally less than 1%.
Non-investment grade: This rating includes accounts with average credit risk that are more susceptible to loss in the event of adverse business or economic conditions. This rating generally equates to a BB S&P rating. Although we experience higher loss rates associated with this customer class, we believe the risk is somewhat mitigated by the fact that our leases are fairly well dispersed across a large and diverse customer base. In addition, the higher loss rates are largely offset by the higher rates of return we obtain with such leases. Loss rates in this category are generally in the range of 2% to 4%.
Substandard: This rating includes accounts that have marginal credit risk such that the customer’s ability to make repayment is impaired or may likely become impaired. We use numerous strategies to mitigate risk including higher rates of interest, prepayments, personal guarantees, etc. Accounts in this category include customers who were downgraded during the term of the lease from investment and non-investment grade evaluation when the lease was originated. Accordingly there is a distinct possibility for a loss of principal and interest or customer default. The loss rates in this category are approximately 10%.

Fuji Xerox
Equity in net income of Fuji Xerox is affected by certain adjustments required to reflect the deferral of profit associated with intercompany sales. These adjustments may result in recorded equity income that is different from that implied by our 25% ownership interest.
In the first quarter 2017, our Fuji Xerox equity earnings included an out-of-period adjustment of receivables. The receivables adjustment was the result of a review of accounting practices at Fuji Xerox’s New Zealand subsidiary (FXNZ) related to the recovery of receivables associated with certain bundled leasing transactions that occurred in, or prior to, Fuji Xerox’s fiscal year ending March 31, 2016. Fuji Xerox’s parent, Fujifilm Holdings Corporation, is in the process of completing its investigation. Our equity earnings in the first quarter include a charge of approximately $30, which represents our share of the current Fujifilm adjustments from this review. The impact of this adjustment was not considered to be material to any of our individual prior quarters or years and is not considered to be material to Xerox's anticipated full year 2017 results. While the investigation is ongoing, we are not currently aware of any additional adjustments related to this matter that would have a material effect on our financial statements.

Until the investigation by Fujifilm is completed, the periods in which the current receivables adjustment may be recorded by FXNZ are subject to change, including the final amount of any adjustments for each of the three months ended March 31 in this table. In the first quarter 2017, one of the primary differences between the equity income we recorded for Fuji Xerox and our implied 25% share of Fuji Xerox’s first quarter 2017 net income in the summarized financial data is an additional amount recorded for the FXNZ adjustment.

Note 8 – Restructuring Programs
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we recorded net restructuring and asset impairment charges of $110, which included approximately $110 of severance costs related to headcount reductions of approximately 1,000 employees worldwide and $2 of lease cancellation costs. These costs were offset by $2 of net reversals, primarily resulting from changes in estimated reserves from prior period initiatives.
We also recorded $10 of costs during the three months ended March 31, 2017, primarily related to professional support services associated with the implementation of the Strategic Transformation program.

Note 9 – Debt

Debt Exchange
In March 2017, we completed a private offering to exchange portions of certain outstanding Senior Notes due 2018 through 2020 (collectively, the old notes), listed below, for $300 of new Senior Notes due 2022 and $322 in cash consideration, which includes a $22 exchange premium.

The new Senior Notes bear a fixed coupon rate of 4.07% and are due in March 2022. There were no other significant changes to the terms between the old and new Senior Notes. We recorded a loss of approximately $9 for the exchange premium and other carrying value adjustments related to the portion of the old notes exchanged for cash. However, the old notes exchanged for the new Senior Notes were accounted for as a debt modification and therefore approximately $9 related to the exchange premium and other carrying value adjustments for that portion was carried over as an adjustment to the carrying value of new Senior Notes and is expected to be accreted over the term of the new Senior Notes. Transaction costs incurred on the exchange and paid to third parties of $4 were expensed as part of the loss.
Separation Debt Activity
In connection with the Separation, Conduent made a cash distribution of approximately $1.8 billion to Xerox in the fourth quarter 2016. Xerox used a portion of the cash distribution proceeds to repay its $1.0 billion Senior Unsecured Term Facility in January 2017, which was required to be repaid upon completion of the Separation. This $1.0 billion of cash and debt was excluded from the Cash and cash equivalents and Total Debt at December 31, 2016, respectively, and was reported in Current Assets and Current Liabilities of discontinued operations at December 31, 2016, respectively. In addition, due to the segregation of this cash at year-end, the payment was treated as a non-cash activity for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. Interest expense associated with this borrowing incurred during 2016 was included in Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax. Xerox used the balance of the proceeds received as well as cash on hand to repay its $500 6.75% Senior Notes and $500 2.95% Senior Notes that came due in first quarter 2017.

Note 10 – Financial Instruments
Interest Rate Risk Management
We use interest rate swap agreements to manage our interest rate exposure and to achieve a desired proportion of variable and fixed rate debt. These derivatives may be designated as fair value hedges or cash flow hedges depending on the nature of the risk being hedged.
Fair Value Hedges
As of March 31, 2017, pay variable/receive fixed interest rate swaps with notional amounts of $300 and net asset fair value of $3 were designated and accounted for as fair value hedges. The swaps were structured to hedge the fair value of related debt by converting them from fixed rate instruments to variable rate instruments.
The following is a summary of our fair value hedges at March 31, 2017:

Foreign Exchange Risk Management
We are a global company that is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the normal course of our business. As a part of our foreign exchange risk management strategy, we use derivative instruments, primarily forward contracts and purchased option contracts, to hedge the following foreign currency exposures, thereby reducing volatility of earnings or protecting fair values of assets and liabilities:
 
Foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities
Forecasted purchases and sales in foreign currency
At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had outstanding forward exchange and purchased option contracts with gross notional values of $3,125 and $3,149 respectively, with terms of less than 12 months. The associated currency exposures being hedged at March 31, 2017 were materially consistent with our year-end currency exposures, with the exception of our Euro/U.K. Pound Sterling exposure, which decreased by approximately $340, and our U.K. Pound Sterling/Euro exposure, which increased by approximately $290 (currencies hedged - buy/sell). There has not been any material change in our hedging strategy.
Foreign Currency Cash Flow Hedges
We designate a portion of our foreign currency derivative contracts as cash flow hedges of our foreign currency-denominated expenses. The net liability fair value of these contracts were $8 and $20 as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 no amount of ineffectiveness was recorded in earnings for these designated cash flow hedges and all components of each derivative’s gain (loss) was included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness. In addition, no amount was recorded for an underlying exposure that did not occur or was not expected to occur.
At March 31, 2017, a net after-tax loss of $5 was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with our cash flow hedging activity. The entire balance is expected to be reclassified into net income within the next 12 months, providing an offsetting economic impact against the underlying anticipated transactions.
Non-Designated Derivative Instruments Gains (Losses)
Non-designated derivative instruments are primarily instruments used to hedge foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities. They are not designated as hedges since there is a natural offset for the re-measurement of the underlying foreign currency-denominated asset or liability.
The following table provides a summary of gains on non-designated derivative instruments:

We utilize the income approach to measure the fair value for our derivative assets and liabilities. The income approach uses pricing models that rely on market observable inputs such as yield curves, currency exchange rates and forward prices, and therefore are classified as Level 2.
Fair value for our deferred compensation plan investments in mutual funds is based on quoted market prices for those funds. Fair value for deferred compensation plan liabilities is based on the fair value of investments corresponding to employees’ investment selections.
Summary of Other Financial Assets and Liabilities

The fair value amounts for Cash and cash equivalents and Accounts receivable, net, approximate carrying amounts due to the short maturities of these instruments. The fair value of Short and Long-term debt was estimated based on the current rates offered to us for debt of similar maturities (Level 2). The difference between the fair value and the carrying value represents the theoretical net premium or discount we would pay or receive to retire all debt at such date.

Note 16 – Contingencies and Litigation
Legal Matters
We are involved in a variety of claims, lawsuits, investigations and proceedings concerning: securities law; governmental entity contracting; servicing and procurement law; intellectual property law; environmental law; employment law; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA); and other laws and regulations. We determine whether an estimated loss from a contingency should be accrued by assessing whether a loss is deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated. We assess our potential liability by analyzing our litigation and regulatory matters using available information. We develop our views on estimated losses in consultation with outside counsel handling our defense in these matters, which involves an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. 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.
Brazil Tax and Labor Contingencies
Our Brazilian operations are involved in various litigation matters and have received or been the subject of numerous governmental assessments related to indirect and other taxes, as well as disputes associated with former employees and contract labor. The tax matters, which comprise a significant portion of the total contingencies, principally relate to claims for taxes on the internal transfer of inventory, municipal service taxes on rentals and gross revenue taxes. We are disputing these tax matters and intend to vigorously defend our positions. Based on the opinion of legal counsel and current reserves for those matters deemed probable of loss, we do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will materially impact our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
The labor matters principally relate to claims made by former employees and contract labor for the equivalent payment of all social security and other related labor benefits, as well as consequential tax claims, as if they were regular employees. As of March 31, 2017, the total amounts related to the unreserved portion of the tax and labor contingencies, inclusive of any related interest, amounted to approximately $640, with the decrease from our December 31, 2016 balance of approximately $750, primarily related to closed cases partially offset by currency and interest. With respect to the unreserved balance of $640, the majority has been assessed by management as being remote as to the likelihood of ultimately resulting in a loss to the Company. In connection with the above proceedings, customary local regulations may require us to make escrow cash deposits or post other security of up to half of the total amount in dispute. As of March 31, 2017, we had $87 of escrow cash deposits for matters we are disputing and additional letters of credit and surety bonds of approximately $152 and $98, respectively, which include associated indexation. There were no liens on any of our Brazilian assets as of March 31, 2017. Generally, any escrowed amounts would be refundable and any liens would be removed to the extent the matters are resolved in our favor. We routinely assess all these matters as to probability of ultimately incurring a liability against our Brazilian operations and record our best estimate of the ultimate loss in situations where we assess the likelihood of an ultimate loss as probable.
Litigation Against the Company
State of Texas v. Xerox Corporation, Xerox State Healthcare, LLC, and ACS State Healthcare, LLC: On May 9, 2014, the State of Texas, via the Texas Office of Attorney General (the “State”), filed a lawsuit in the 53rd Judicial District Court of Travis County, Texas. The lawsuit alleges that Xerox Corporation, Xerox State Healthcare, LLC and ACS State Healthcare (collectively “the Defendants”) violated the Texas Medicaid Fraud Prevention Act in the administration of ACS’s contract with the Texas Department of Health and Human Services (“HHSC”). Xerox Corporation provided a guaranty of contractual performance with respect to the ACS contract. The State alleges that the Defendants made false representations of material facts regarding the processes, procedures, implementation and results regarding the prior authorization of orthodontic claims. The State seeks recovery of actual damages, two times the amount of any overpayments made as a result of unlawful acts, civil penalties, pre- and post-judgment interest and all costs and attorneys’ fees. The State references the amount in controversy as exceeding hundreds of millions of dollars. The Defendants filed their Answer in June, 2014 denying all allegations. The Defendants will continue to vigorously defend themselves in this matter. This matter is a “Conduent Liability”, as defined in the Separation and Distribution Agreement dated as of December 31, 2016 between Xerox Corporation and Conduent Incorporated, for which Conduent is required to indemnify Xerox. Conduent is entitled to direct the defense of this matter.

Oklahoma Firefighters Pension and Retirement System v. Xerox Corporation, Ursula M. Burns, Luca Maestri, Kathryn A. Mikells, Lynn R. Blodgett, Robert K. Zapfel, David H. Bywater and Mary Scanlon: On October 21, 2016, the Oklahoma Firefighters Pension and Retirement System (“plaintiff”) filed a purported securities class action complaint against Xerox Corporation, Ursula Burns, Luca Maestri, Kathryn Mikells, Lynn Blodgett and Robert Zapfel (collectively, “defendants”) in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of the plaintiff and certain purchasers or acquirers of Xerox common stock. The complaint alleged that defendants made false and misleading statements, in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act and SEC Rule 10b-5, relating to the operations and prospects of Xerox’s Health Enterprise business. Plaintiff sought, among other things, unspecified monetary damages and attorneys’ fees. Other, similar lawsuits may follow. On December 28, 2016, the Court entered a stipulated order setting out a schedule for amendment of the complaint and for defendants’ response to that complaint following the Court’s appointment of lead plaintiff under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. On February 28, 2017, the Court issued an opinion and order appointing the Arkansas Public Employees Retirement System ("APERS") as lead plaintiff. On May 2, 2017, APERS filed an amended complaint, alleging substantially similar claims and seeking substantially similar relief, but adding David Bywater and Mary Scanlon as defendants. Xerox will vigorously defend against this matter. At this time, it is premature to make any conclusion regarding the probability of incurring material losses in this litigation. Should developments cause a change in our determination as to an unfavorable outcome, or result in a final adverse judgment or settlement, there could be a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial position in the period in which such change in determination, judgment, or settlement occurs.
Other Contingencies
We have issued or provided approximately $398 of guarantees as of March 31, 2017 in the form of letters of credit or surety bonds issued to i) support certain insurance programs; ii) support our obligations related to the Brazil tax and labor contingencies; and iii) support certain contracts, primarily with public sector customers, which require us to provide a surety bond as a guarantee of our performance of contractual obligations.
In general, we would only be liable for the amount of these guarantees in the event we defaulted in performing our obligations under each contract; the probability of which we believe is remote. We believe that our capacity in the surety markets as well as under various credit arrangements (including our Credit Facility) is sufficient to allow us to respond to future requests for proposals that require such credit support.
 
Indemnifications
We have indemnified, subject to certain deductibles and limits, the purchasers of businesses or divested assets for the occurrence of specified events under certain of our divestiture agreements. Where appropriate, an obligation for such indemnifications is recorded as a liability. Since the obligated amounts of these types of indemnifications are often not explicitly stated and/or are contingent on the occurrence of future events, the overall maximum amount of the obligation under such indemnifications cannot be reasonably estimated. Other than obligations recorded as liabilities at the time of divestiture, we have not historically made significant payments for these indemnifications. Additionally, under certain of our acquisition agreements, we have provided for additional consideration to be paid to the sellers if established financial targets are achieved post-closing. We have recognized liabilities for these contingent obligations based on an estimate of the fair value of these contingencies at the time of acquisition. Contingent obligations related to indemnifications arising from our divestitures and contingent consideration provided for by our acquisitions are not expected to be material to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 2 — MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is intended to help the reader understand the results of operations and financial condition of Xerox Corporation. MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes.
Throughout this document, references to “we,” “our,” the “Company,” and “Xerox” refer to Xerox Corporation and its subsidiaries. References to “Xerox Corporation” refer to the stand-alone parent company and do not include its subsidiaries.
Currency Impact
To understand the trends in the business, we believe that it is helpful to analyze the impact of changes in the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. Dollars on revenue and expenses. We refer to this analysis as "constant currency"; “currency impact” or “the impact from currency.” This impact is calculated by translating current period activity in local currency using the comparable prior year period's currency translation rate. This impact is calculated for all countries where the functional currency is the local country currency. We do not hedge the translation effect of revenues or expenses denominated in currencies where the local currency is the functional currency. 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.

Overview
Separation Update
On December 31, 2016, Xerox Corporation completed the separation of its Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) business from its Document Technology and Document Outsourcing (DT/DO) business (the “Separation”). The Separation was accomplished by moving the BPO business into a new legal entity, Conduent Incorporated ("Conduent"), and then distributing one hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding common stock of Conduent to Xerox Corporation stockholders (the “Distribution”). Conduent is now an independent public company trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “CNDT”. As a result of the Separation and Distribution, the BPO business is presented as a discontinued operation and, as such, has been excluded from continuing operations for all periods presented. Refer to Note 3 - Divestitures in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Separation.
Segment Changes
Following the separation of the BPO business, we realigned our operations to better manage the business and serve our customers. In 2017 we transitioned to a geographic focus and are primarily organized from a sales perspective on the basis of “go-to-market” sales channels. These sales channels are structured to serve a range of customers for our products and services. As a result of this transition and change in structure, we concluded that we have one operating and reportable segment - the design, development and sale of document management systems and solutions. Our chief executive officer was identified as the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). All of the Company’s activities are interrelated, and each activity is dependent upon and supportive of the other, including product development, supply chain and back-office support services. In addition, all significant operating decisions are largely based upon an analysis of Xerox at the consolidated level, including assessments related to the Company’s incentive compensation plans, as well as at the Board level.
First Quarter 2017 Review
Total revenue of $2.45 billion for the first quarter 2017 declined 6.2% from first quarter 2016 including a 1.9-percentage point negative impact from currency. Post-sale revenue of $1.95 billion, which represented 80% of total revenues, declined 5.8% including a 1.9-percentage point negative impact from currency. The decline in post-sale revenue primarily reflects lower equipment installs and sales in prior periods and an on-going decline in page volumes. Equipment revenues of $502 million declined by 7.4%, with a 1.7-percentage point negative impact from currency. The decline in equipment revenue was driven primarily by lower mid-range sales, which partially reflects the impact of upcoming product launches as well as overall market decline trends. Equipment revenues were also impacted by price declines of approximately 5%.

Xerox 2017 Form 10-Q

Net income from continuing operations attributable to Xerox for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $22 million and included after-tax costs of $132 million related to the amortization of intangible assets, restructuring and related costs, non-service retirement-related costs and other discrete items, resulting in adjusted1 net income from continuing operations attributable to Xerox of $154 million. Net income from continuing operations attributable to Xerox for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $69 million and included after-tax costs of $117 million related to the amortization of intangible assets, restructuring and related costs and non-service retirement-related costs, resulting in adjusted1 net income from continuing operations attributable to Xerox of $186 million. The increase in adjustments is primarily due to an increase in restructuring and related costs as well as higher non-service retirement costs. The decline in adjusted1 net income for the first quarter 2017 was primarily due to a charge of approximately $30 million in Equity Income related to our share of a Fuji Xerox out-of-period receivable adjustment as the impact of lower revenues was offset by cost productivity and savings from strategic transformation including restructuring savings. See Equity in Net Income of Unconsolidated Affiliates for additional information regarding the Fuji Xerox charge.
Operating cash flow from continuing operations was $190 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, as compared to $87 million in the prior year period. The $103 million increase is primarily due to timing of working capital. Cash used in investing activities from continuing operations was $35 million and includes $11 million for a Global Imaging Systems acquisition. Cash used in financing activities of $1,258 million primarily reflects payments of $1.0 billion on Senior Notes and net payments of $326 million on the tender and exchange of certain Senior Notes partially offset by proceeds of $161 million from the final cash adjustment with Conduent.
2017 Outlook
We expect total revenues to continue to decline for 2017 in the mid-single digits range, excluding the impact of currency, which at March 31, 2017 exchange rates, is expected to have about a 2-percentage point negative impact on total revenues in 2017. However, we do expect to see improving revenue trends during the second half of the year as we start to realize the benefit from new product launches and other growth initiatives. Reported and adjusted1 earnings are anticipated to be in line with our full-year expectations.

We continue to expect full year 2017 operating cash flows from continuing operations to be between $700 million and $900 million including higher cash requirements for pension contributions and restructuring payments. Capital expenditures, inclusive of internal use software, are expected to be approximately $175 million.

Excluding equipment revenue, Managed Document Services (MDS) was $714 million in first quarter 2017 and $726 million in first quarter 2016, representing a decline of 1.7% including a 2.0-percentage point negative impact from currency.
First quarter 2017 total revenues decreased 6.2% as compared to first quarter 2016, with a 1.9-percentage point negative impact from currency. First quarter 2017 total revenues reflect the following:
Post sale revenue decreased 5.8% as compared to first quarter 2016, with a 1.9-percentage point negative impact from currency. Post Sale revenue is comprised of the following:
Services, maintenance and rentals revenue includes rental and maintenance revenue (including bundled supplies) as well as the post sale component of the document services revenue from our Managed Document Services (MDS) offerings, and revenues from our Communication and Marketing Solutions (CMS) offerings that transferred to Xerox from the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) business upon Separation. These revenues declined 5.7%, with a 1.9-percentage point negative impact from currency; the decline at constant currency1 reflected lower installs in prior periods and ongoing decline in page volumes.
Supplies, paper and other sales includes unbundled supplies and other sales. These revenues declined 5.9%, with a 2.1-percentage point negative impact from currency. The decline at constant currency1 was driven by lower original equipment manufacturer (OEM) supplies as well as lower supplies demand (both in U.S. and European channels) consistent with lower equipment sales in prior periods, partly offset by higher supplies sales in developing markets which benefited partially from a weaker prior year.
Financing revenue is generated from financed equipment sale transactions. The 8.4% decline in these revenues reflected a declining finance receivables balance due to lower equipment sales in prior periods, along with a 1.6-percentage point negative impact from currency.

Equipment sales revenue in 2016 has been revised to reclassify certain Global Imaging Systems equipment sales to other sales, which are included in Post sale Revenue.
Equipment sales revenue decreased 7.4% as compared to first quarter 2016, with a 1.7-percentage point negative impact from currency. Revenue declined across all product areas, including the impact of price declines of approximately 5% which are in-line with our historic impact. The decline in mid-range sales reflects lower revenue from black-and-white consistent with overall market decline trends, as well as the anticipated impact of upcoming product launches. The decline in entry sales reflects lower OEM activity, which more than offsets the benefit of new products already launched and growth in developing markets (partially as a result of a weaker prior year). The decline in high-end sales reflects lower revenues from our black-and-white systems, consistent with overall market decline trends, partially offset by high-end color revenue growth driven by iGen and continuous feed more than offsetting lower sales of entry production systems related to timing of upcoming product launches. High-end color sales also included lower digital front-end (DFE) sales to Fuji Xerox.
Revenue Metrics
Total Installs
Install activity includes Managed Document Services and Xerox-branded products shipped to Global Imaging Systems. Detail by product group is shown below:
Entry(1) 
15% increase in color multifunction devices, reflecting demand for recently launched products in this space.
1% increase in black-and-white multifunction devices driven largely by a higher level of large deals for low-end printers in developing markets, compared to a weaker first quarter in the prior year.
Mid-Range(2) 
Mid-range color installs were flat compared to prior year, as growth in developing markets offset the anticipated timing impact of upcoming product launches.
24% decrease in mid-range black-and-white, reflecting overall market decline as well as the anticipated timing impact of upcoming product launches.
High-End(2) 
15% decrease in high-end color systems due to timing of installs and upcoming product launches.
25% decrease in high-end black-and-white systems, consistent with overall market decline and trends.

Note: Descriptions of “Entry”, “Mid-Range” and “High-End” are defined below in the Geographic Sales Channels and Product and Offerings Definitions discussion.
Signings
Signings are defined as estimated future revenues from contracts signed during the period, including renewals of existing contracts. First quarter 2017 signings were approximately $532 million in Total Contract Value (TCV). Signings decreased 6.0% from first quarter 2016, with a 0.4-percentage point favorable impact from currency, reflecting lower contribution from renewals. On a trailing twelve month (TTM) basis, signings decreased 5.5% at constant currency1 from the comparable prior year period. New business TCV at constant currency1 increased 1.3% from first quarter 2016 and decreased 15.1% on a TTM basis; this performance is the result of ongoing competitive pressure in the market partially amplified by the timing of product launches, as well as price discipline. Our reported signings mostly represent those from our Large Enterprise deals, as we do not currently include signings from our growing partner print services offerings or those from our Global Imaging Systems channel.
Note: TCV is the estimated total contractual revenue related to signed contracts.

Renewal Rate
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 for which a renewal decision was made during the period. First quarter 2017 contract renewal rate was 81%, a decrease of 1-percentage point as compared to our full year 2016 renewal rate of 82%.

See the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section for an explanation of the non-GAAP financial measure. In fourth quarter 2016, we began to include Equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates in the calculation of adjusted operating income and margin. Prior periods have been restated accordingly to conform to current year presentation.
Pre-tax Loss Margin
First quarter 2017 pre-tax loss margin of 0.7% declined 1.9-percentage points as compared to first quarter 2016. The higher loss was primarily driven by higher restructuring, higher non-service retirement related costs and higher Other expenses, net.
Additional analysis on changes in restructuring and related costs, amortization of intangible assets, separation costs and other expenses, net are included in subsequent sections.
Adjusted1 Operating Margin
First quarter 2017 adjusted1 operating margin of 11.4% increased 0.9-percentage points as compared to first quarter 2016. The improvement was driven primarily by cost productivity and savings from strategic transformation, including restructuring savings, that outpaced the rate of revenue decline. Those improvements were partially offset by 1.1-percentage points from adverse currency. Equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates, during the first quarter 2017, included a charge of approximately $30 million that represents our share of the current Fujifilm adjustments associated with an accounting review at Fuji Xerox’s New Zealand subsidiary related to lease receivables. We have excluded this impact for adjusted1 operating income and adjusted1 operating margin in order to provide a more normalized view of our operations for the quarter. See "Equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates" section for further information.
______________
(1)Refer to the Operating Income/Margin reconciliation table in the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section.

Gross Margin
First quarter 2017 gross margin of 38.9% was flat compared to first quarter 2016. On an adjusted1 basis, gross margin of 39.8% increased by 0.2-percentage points. This performance reflects cost savings from strategic transformation and cost productivity, partly offset by adverse transaction currency of 1.1-percentage points.
First quarter 2017 equipment gross margin of 30.4% decreased 0.3-percentage points as compared to first quarter 2016, as a result of adverse transaction currency and pricing that more than offset product cost productivity.
First quarter 2017 post sale gross margin of 41.0% decreased 0.1-percentage points as compared to first quarter 2016. On an adjusted1 basis, post sale gross margin of 42.2% improved 0.3-percentage points, as a result of cost savings from strategic transformation, including restructuring, which more than offset the pace of revenue decline and the impact of adverse transaction currency.

Selling, Administrative and General Expenses (SAG)
SAG as a percentage of revenue of 27.1% increased by 0.3-percentage points from first quarter 2016. On an adjusted1 basis, SAG was 25.8% of revenue and decreased 0.2-percentage points, reflecting productivity and cost savings from strategic transformation, including restructuring savings, that more than outpaced the decline in revenues.
SAG of $664 million was $37 million lower than first quarter 2016. On an adjusted1 basis, SAG of $633 million decreased $47 million, including an approximately $12 million favorable impact from currency and reflected the following:
$37 million decrease in selling expenses, reflecting in part, lower compensation expenses consistent with lower revenues.
$11 million decrease in general and administrative expenses.
$1 million increase in bad debt expense. First quarter 2017 bad debt expense remained at less than one percent of receivables.
______________
(1)Refer to the Key Financial Ratios reconciliation table in the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section.

Non-Service Retirement-Related Costs
Non-service retirement-related costs were $16 million higher than first quarter 2016, primarily driven by higher losses from pension settlements.

Restructuring and Related Costs
Restructuring and related costs of $120 million include restructuring and asset impairment charges of $110 million as well as $10 million of additional costs primarily related to professional support services associated with the implementation of the Strategic Transformation program.

Xerox 2017 Form 10-Q
33



First quarter 2017 net restructuring and asset impairment charges of $110 million included $110 million of severance costs related to headcount reductions of approximately 1,000 employees worldwide and $2 million of lease cancellation. The first quarter 2017 actions impacted several functional areas, with approximately 30% of the actions focused on gross margin improvements, approximately 60% on SAG reductions and approximately 10% on RD&E optimization. These costs were partially offset by $2 million of net reversals for changes in estimated reserves from prior period initiatives.
During first quarter 2016 restructuring and related costs were $100 million which included restructuring and asset impairment charges of $98 million as well as $2 million of additional costs primarily related to professional support services associated with the implementation of the Strategic Transformation program.
First quarter 2016 net restructuring and asset impairment charges of $98 million included $98 million of severance costs related to headcount reductions of approximately 1,400 employees worldwide and $1 million of lease cancellation costs. The first quarter 2016 actions impacted several functional areas, with approximately half of the actions focused on gross margin improvements and approximately half on SAG reductions. These costs were partially offset by $1 million of net reversals for changes in estimated reserves from prior period initiatives.
The restructuring reserve balance as of March 31, 2017 for all programs was $178 million, of which $175 million is expected to be spent over the next twelve months.
In second quarter 2017, we expect to incur additional restructuring charges of approximately $50 million for actions and initiatives that have not yet been finalized. We continue to expect restructuring and related costs of approximately $225 million for full year 2017.
Refer to Note 8 - Restructuring Programs, in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our restructuring programs.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
First quarter 2017 amortization of intangible assets of $14 million was flat compared to first quarter 2016.
Worldwide Employment
Worldwide employment was approximately 37,200 as of March 31, 2017 and decreased by approximately 400 from December 31, 2016. The reduction is primarily due to the impact of restructuring and productivity-related reductions.

Non-Financing Interest Expense
First quarter 2017 non-financing interest expense of $36 million was $18 million lower than first quarter 2016. When combined with financing interest expense (cost of financing), total interest expense declined by $18 million from first quarter 2016 primarily due to a lower debt balance reflecting the repayment of approximately $1.3 billion of debt in the first quarter 2017 as well as repayment of approximately $1.0 billion in 2016.
Gains on Sales of Businesses and Assets
First quarter 2016 gains on sales of businesses and assets of $20 million were primarily related to the sale of surplus technology assets.

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt
During the first quarter of 2017, we recorded a $13 million loss associated with the repayment of $300 million in Senior Notes.
Refer to Note 9 - Debt, in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Debt Exchange.
Income Taxes
First quarter 2017 tax benefit was at an effective tax rate of 150.0%, which was higher than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the favorable re-measurement of certain unrecognized tax positions. On an adjusted1 basis, first quarter 2017 tax expense was at an effective tax rate of 27.5%, which was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to foreign tax credits and the geographical mix of profits. The adjusted1 effective tax rate excludes the majority of the benefit from the re-measurement of certain unrecognized tax positions as well as the tax benefits associated with the following charges: restructuring and related costs, amortization of intangible assets and non-service retirement-related costs.
First quarter 2016 tax benefit was at an effective tax rate of (6.3)% and on an adjusted1 basis, first quarter 2016 tax expense was at an effective tax rate of 21.4%. These rates were lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to foreign tax credits and the geographical mix of profits. The adjusted1 effective tax rate excludes the tax benefits associated with the following charges: restructuring and related costs, amortization of intangible assets and non-service retirement-related costs.
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 reflects lower foreign tax credit benefits from prior year.
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. Excluding the effects of amortization of intangible assets, restructuring and related costs, non-service retirement-related costs, separation costs and other discrete items, we anticipate that our adjusted1 effective tax rate will be approximately 25% to 28% for second quarter and full year 2017.

Fuji Xerox after-tax restructuring costs included in equity income
 

 

Equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates primarily reflects our 25% share of Fuji Xerox net income. In the first quarter 2017, our Fuji Xerox equity earnings included an out-of-period adjustment related to receivables. The receivables adjustment was the result of an investigation of accounting practices at Fuji Xerox’s New Zealand subsidiary (FXNZ) related to the recovery of receivables associated with certain bundled leasing transactions that occurred in, or prior to, Fuji Xerox’s fiscal year ending March 31, 2016. Fuji Xerox’s parent, Fujifilm Holdings Corporation, is in the process of completing its investigation. Our equity earnings in the first quarter include a charge of approximately $30 million, which represents our share of the current Fujifilm adjustments from this review. While the investigation is ongoing, we are not currently aware of any additional adjustments related to this matter that would have a material effect on our financial statements.
Refer to Note 7 - Investments in Affiliates, at Equity, in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information regarding the Fuji Xerox charge.

Net Income from Continuing Operations
First quarter 2017 net income from continuing operations attributable to Xerox was $22 million, or $0.02 per diluted share. On an adjusted1 basis, net income from continuing operations attributable to Xerox was $154 million, or $0.15 per diluted share. First quarter 2017 adjustments to net income include the amortization of intangible assets, restructuring and related costs, and non-service retirement-related costs as well as other discretely identified adjustments.
First quarter 2016 net income from continuing operations attributable to Xerox was $69 million, or $0.06 per diluted share. On an adjusted1 basis, net income from continuing operations attributable to Xerox was $186 million, or $0.18 per diluted share. First quarter 2016 adjustments to net income include the amortization of intangible assets, restructuring and related costs and non-service retirement-related costs.
Refer to Note 15 - Earnings per Share, in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information regarding the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share.

Refer to the Net Income and EPS reconciliation table in the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section.
Discontinued Operations
As previously discussed, discontinued operations relate to our Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) business, which was separated effective December 31, 2016.
Refer to Note 3 - Divestitures, in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding discontinued operations.
Net Income
First quarter 2017 net income attributable to Xerox was $16 million, or $0.01 per diluted share. First quarter 2016 net income attributable to Xerox was $34 million, or $0.03 per diluted share.
Other Comprehensive Income
First quarter 2017 Other comprehensive income attributable to Xerox was $169 million as compared to $88 million in the first quarter 2016. The $81 million increase is primarily due to net gains from changes in defined benefit plans of $26 million in the first quarter of 2017 as compared to net losses of $112 million in the first quarter 2016. The benefit plan losses in the first quarter 2016 were primarily due to losses from plan remeasurements resulting from a decrease in discount rates and unfavorable asset returns. In the first quarter 2017, the impact from plan remeasurements was minimal as a slight decrease in discount rates was offset by favorable asset returns. Offsetting the change in defined benefit plans were decreased gains from net translation adjustments of $55 million reflecting net gains of $136 million in the first quarter 2017 as compared to net gains of $191 million in the first quarter 2016.
Refer to Note 12 - Employee Benefit Plans, in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information regarding net changes in our defined benefit plans and related losses and gains.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, total cash and cash equivalents were $1,045 million and $2,223 million, respectively. There were no borrowings under our Commercial Paper Program, or letters of credit under our $2 billion Credit Facility at March 31, 2017 or December 31, 2016, respectively. The decrease in total cash and cash equivalents primarily reflects the repayment of $1.0 billion of maturing Senior Notes in the first quarter 2017 as well a repayment of $300 million in Senior Notes as part of a tender and exchange transaction.
We continue to expect operating cash flows from continuing operations to be between $700 million and $900 million in 2017, including an increase in restructuring payments and pension contributions partially offset by improvements in working capital.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was $190 million in first quarter 2017. The $103 million increase in operating cash from first quarter 2016 was primarily due to the following:
$6 million increase in pre-tax income before depreciation and amortization, gain on sales of businesses and assets, stock-based compensation, restructuring and related costs and defined benefit pension cost.
$92 million increase in accounts payable and accrued compensation primarily related to the year-over-year timing of supplier and vendor payments.
$41 million increase from a lower seasonal first quarter build-up of inventory primarily reflecting reduced inventory requirements, partially offset by the inventory impact of new product launches.
$11 million increase from lower pension contributions.
$10 million increase due to lower placements of equipment on operating leases reflecting decreased installs.
$42 million decrease from higher restructuring and related payments.
$39 million decrease from accounts receivable primarily due to the timing of collections and a reduction in sales of receivables.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities of continuing operations was $35 million in first quarter 2017 (including $11 million related to a Global Imaging Systems acquisition) as compared to $30 million in the prior year period (including $18 million related to a Global Imaging Systems acquisition).

Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $1,258 million in first quarter 2017. The $1,216 million increase in the use of cash from first quarter 2016 was primarily due to the following:
$1,369 million increase from net debt activity. 2017 reflects payments of $1.0 billion on Senior Notes and net payments of $326 million on the tender and exchange of certain Senior Notes including transaction costs. First quarter 2016 reflects net proceeds of $749 million from a Senior Unsecured Term Facility offset by a $700 million Senior Notes payment.
$10 million increase from common stock dividends.
$7 million increase from repurchases related to a stock-based compensation vesting.
$161 million decrease reflecting the final cash adjustment with Conduent.
$10 million decrease due to lower distributions to noncontrolling interests.

The change from December 31, 2016 includes an increase of $30 million due to currency.
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.

Financial Risk Management
We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, which could affect operating results, financial position and cash flows. We manage our exposure to these market risks through our regular operating and financing activities and, when appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. These derivative financial instruments are utilized to hedge economic exposures, as well as to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility resulting from shifts in market rates. We enter into limited types of derivative contracts, including interest rate swap agreements, foreign currency spot, forward and swap contracts and net purchased foreign currency options to manage interest rate and foreign currency exposures. Our primary foreign currency market exposures include the Yen, Euro and Pound Sterling. The fair market values of all our derivative contracts change with fluctuations in interest rates and/or currency rates and are designed so that any changes in their values are offset by changes in the values of the underlying exposures. Derivative financial instruments are held solely as risk management tools and not for trading or speculative purposes.
We are required to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the balance sheet. As permitted, certain of these derivative contracts have been designated for hedge accounting treatment. Certain of our derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are effective as economic hedges. These derivative contracts are likewise required to be recognized each period at fair value and therefore do result in some level of volatility. The level of volatility will vary with the type and amount of derivative hedges outstanding, as well as fluctuations in the currency and interest rate markets during the period. The related cash flow impacts of all of our derivative activities are reflected as cash flows from operating activities.
By their nature, all derivative instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of market and credit risk. The market risk associated with these instruments resulting from currency exchange and interest rate movements is expected to offset the market risk of the underlying transactions, assets and liabilities being hedged. We do not believe there is significant risk of loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparties associated with these instruments because these transactions are executed with a diversified group of major financial institutions. Further, our policy is to deal with counterparties having a minimum investment grade or better credit rating. Credit risk is managed through the continuous monitoring of exposures to such counterparties.
The current market events have not required us to materially modify or change our financial risk management strategies with respect to our exposures to interest rate and foreign currency risk. Refer to Note 10 – Financial Instruments, in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion and information on our financial risk management strategies.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We have reported our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In addition, we have discussed our financial results using the non-GAAP measures described below. We believe these non-GAAP measures allow investors to better understand the trends in our business and to better understand and compare our results. Accordingly, we believe it is necessary to adjust several reported amounts, determined in accordance with GAAP, to exclude the effects of certain items as well as their related income tax effects.
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 first quarter 2017 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
Net income and Earnings per share (EPS)
Effective tax rate
Gross margin, RD&E and SAG (adjusted for non-service retirement-related costs only)
The above measures were adjusted for the following items:
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. 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.
Restructuring and related costs: Restructuring and related costs include restructuring and asset impairment charges as well as costs associated with our Strategic Transformation program beyond those normally included in restructuring and asset impairment charges. Restructuring consists of costs primarily related to severance and benefits paid to employees pursuant to formal restructuring and workforce reduction plans. Asset impairment includes costs incurred for those assets sold, abandoned or made obsolete as a result of our restructuring actions, exiting from a business or other strategic business changes. Additional costs for our Strategic Transformation program are primarily related to the implementation of strategic actions and initiatives and include third-party professional service costs as well as one-time incremental costs. All of these costs can vary significantly in terms of amount and frequency based on the nature of the actions as well as the changing needs of the business. Accordingly, due to that significant variability, we will exclude these charges since we do not believe they provide meaningful insight into our current or past operating performance nor do we believe they are reflective of our expected future operating expenses as such charges are expected to yield future benefits and savings with respect to our operational performance.
Non-service retirement-related costs: Our defined benefit pension and retiree health costs include several elements impacted by changes in plan assets and obligations that are primarily driven by changes in the debt and equity markets as well as those that are predominantly legacy in nature and related to employees who are no longer providing current service to the Company (e.g. retirees and ex-employees). These elements include (i) interest cost, (ii) expected return on plan assets, (iii) amortized actuarial gains/losses and (iv) the impacts of any plan settlements/curtailments. Accordingly, we consider these elements of our periodic retirement plan costs to be outside the operational performance of the business or legacy costs and not necessarily indicative of current or future cash flow requirements. Adjusted earnings will continue to include the elements of our retirement costs related to current employee service (service cost and amortization of prior service cost) as well as the cost of our defined contribution plans.
Other discrete, unusual or infrequent items: In addition, we have also excluded the following additional items given the discrete, unusual or infrequent nature of the items and their impact on our results for the period: 1) a loss on early extinguishment of debt; and 2) a benefit from the remeasurement of a tax matter related to a previously adjusted item. We believe the exclusion of these items allows investors to better understand and analyze the results for the period as compared to prior periods and expected future trends in our business.
Adjusted Operating Income and Margin
We also calculate and utilize operating income and margin earnings measures by adjusting our pre-tax income and margin amounts. In addition to the costs noted for our Adjusted Earnings measures, operating income and margin also exclude other expenses, net. Other expenses, net is primarily comprised of non-financing interest expense and

Xerox 2017 Form 10-Q
40



also includes certain other non-operating costs and expenses. 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.
Operating income and margin also includes equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates. Equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates primarily reflects our 25% share of Fuji Xerox net income. We include this amount in our measure of operating income and margin as Fuji Xerox is our primary intermediary to the Asia/Pacific market for distribution of Xerox branded products and services. As previously disclosed, first quarter 2017 Equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates included a charge that represents our share of the current Fujifilm adjustments associated with an accounting investigation at Fuji Xerox’s New Zealand subsidiary related to lease receivables. We have excluded the impact of this charge for adjusted operating income and margin in order to provide a more normalized view of our operations for the quarter. See Equity in Net Income of Unconsolidated Affiliates and Note 7 - Investments in Affiliates, at Equity, in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information regarding the Fuji Xerox charge.
Constant Currency (CC)
Refer to "Currency Impact" for a discussion of this measure and its use in our analysis of revenue growth.
Summary
Management believes that all of 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:
