Read MoreHide Full Article
Xerox Holdings Corporation’s (XRX - Free Report) bottom line is benefiting from "Project Own It," an enterprise-wide transformation initiative aimed at increasing productivity and operational efficiency, reducing costs, as well as realigning its business to changing market conditions.
The company’s earnings are expected to increase by 19.2% in 2022 and by 22.2% in 2023, year over year.
Factors That Auger Well
"Project Own It” is contributing significantly toward freeing up capital for investment. Through this initiative, the company exceeded gross savings of $375 million in 2021 and expects $300 million of gross cost savings in 2022.
Xerox’s ongoing investments in Xerox Business Solutions, indirect market channels and European sales channels are helping it expand its small and mid-sized (“SMB”) market. The company is expanding its offerings through the inclusion of cyber security and robotic process automation solutions. It is expanding its IT Services business geographically to strengthen its foothold in the SMB market.
Xerox has a post-sale driven business model that provides significant recurring revenues and cash generation. Around 78% of the company’s total revenues in 2020 were associated with contracted services, equipment maintenance services, consumable supplies and financing. This business model supports strong cash flows that help the company make strategic investments and penetrate markets with high growth potential.
Some Risks
Xerox has more long-term debt outstanding than cash. Cash and cash equivalent balance at the end of fourth-quarter 2021 was $1.8 billion compared with the long-term debt level of $3.6 billion.
