About Xerox Holdings Corporation
About Xerox Holdings Corporation
Xerox reorganized into two reportable segments in 2025 — Print and Other, and IT Solutions — after completing its acquisition of Lexmark International II, LLC and integrating ITsavvy into a new IT Solutions unit. Employee count reached approximately 22,900 as of December 31, 2025, up 36.3% year over year on the Lexmark deal, with roughly 43% of revenue generated by customers outside the U.S.
Xerox has achieved more than $500 million in cumulative run-rate gross cost savings through year-end 2025 under its multi-year Reinvention restructuring program. Revenue spans five offering areas — Workplace Solutions (A4/A3 printers and multifunction devices), Production Solutions (high-volume graphics printing), Xerox Services (Managed Print, Capture & Content, and Customer Engagement Services), Xerox Financial Solutions (equipment leasing), and IT Solutions (device lifecycle and managed IT services) — pairing upfront equipment sales with recurring post-sale service and financing revenue. Manufacturing is partly outsourced to third parties, including FUJIFILM Business Innovation Corp., and a significant portion of total revenue comes from U.S. federal, state, and local government contracts and international government agencies. Management targets more than $300 million in annual run-rate integration benefits from the Lexmark acquisition by the end of 2027 and a debt-to-EBITDA ratio below 3.0 times.

Government work carries structural risk beyond ordinary customer churn: the filing notes that government entities typically fund multi-year projects through annually appropriated budgets and reserve the right to change the scope of or terminate these projects for lack of approved funding or at their convenience, with routine audits that could require refunds, fines, or even suspension from federal contracting if violations are found. Xerox is simultaneously executing a targeted workforce reduction announced in October 2025 following the Lexmark Acquisition, subject to formal consultation with works councils given that approximately 15% of employees are represented by unions, with roughly 90% of unionized staff located outside the U.S.
