“This quarter’s results demonstrated tangible progress as revenue and profit trajectory improved, adjusted1 operating margin expanded, and we further enhanced our liquidity,” said Louie Pastor, chief executive officer at Xerox. “When I took this role, I was unequivocal that we must be clear about our priorities—stabilize revenue, increase profitability and reduce leverage — and establish credibility by executing on them one quarter at a time. I am genuinely optimistic about the future of this business and confident we are closer to an inflection point than the external narrative suggests. Reaffirming our 2026 guidance reflects that confidence.”
