Thread regarding Xerox Corp. layoffs

Q1

This business of calling prior year LEX results growth is massive BS.

Q1 2026

Revenue of $1.85 billion, up 26.7 percent, or 23.6 percent in constant currency1. On a pro forma2 basis, revenue is down 3.7 percent.
GAAP net (loss) of $(105) million, or $(0.84) per share, down $15 million or $0.09 per share, year-over-year, respectively.
Normalized Adjusted3 net (loss) of $(10) million, or $(0.11) per share, down $3 million or $0.02 per share, year-over-year, respectively.
Adjusted1 net (loss) of $(51) million, or $(0.43) per share, down $47 million or $0.37 per share, year-over-year, respectively.
Adjusted1 operating income of $72 million, up $50 million year-over-year.
Adjusted1 operating margin of 3.9 percent, up 240 basis points year-over-year.
Operating cash flow of $(144) million, down $55 million year-over year, reflecting expected Q1 seasonality.
Free cash flow1 of $(165) million, down $56 million year-over-year. Full-year free cash flow guidance of approximately $250 million is unchanged, implying greater than $400 million of cash generation over the remaining three quarters.

Three very simple questions:

  1. When will you stop losing money every quarter?

  2. How do you plan to service and refinance debt?

  3. How will you continue to grow the business and innovate, despite funding the business by reducing headcount?

@bh
Magenta, I am curious, I did not see or hear the call.
What was your overall vibe on the Wall St guys?
Were they buying the vocab/stats or seem concerned?
I did see where LP said "very optimistic" which is not good.
Thoughts please

@ab Agreed. I did hear the CFO mention in the Earnings Call that "Legacy Xerox equipment revenue fell 5% compared to a 12% decline in Q4. The sequential improvement was driven by improved demand in entry and production. Legacy Lexmark equipment revenue grew 5% versus a 6% decline in Q4 on a higher demand across the enterprise and channel and a slight reduction in backlog."

So, for this singular metric, Legacy Xerox = -5%, Legacy Lexmark = +5%

You can find this around the 17:00 minute mark of the transcript...https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/XRX/earnings/XRX-Q1-2026-earnings_call-548409.html/

@a9 Yes. A telling metric would by LEX year over year too to see if both sides are declining.

They also released the "pro forma" data, which creates an "apples-to-apples" comparison. It adjusts the past data to show what the results would have looked like if the two companies had already been merged a year ago.

Pro forma growth was -3.7%

So are we on life support yet or are the macroeconomic headwinds blowing us in the right direction?
