Lexmark Acquisition Completion
The acquisition of Lexmark was completed in early July, marking a significant milestone in Xerox's Reinvention strategy. The integration is progressing well, with expectations of more than $250 million in cost synergies within two years.
IT Solutions Segment Growth
Strong demand for cloud enablement services at the IT Solutions segment helped offset softer demand for print equipment, with IT Solutions revenue and gross profit increasing more than 150% year-over-year.
Cost Synergy Expectations Increased
Expected cost synergies from the Lexmark acquisition have been revised upwards from $200 million to more than $250 million, realizable within the next two years.
Improved Competitive Profile
The combined Xerox and Lexmark businesses are now a top 3 player in each major print category, with a significant portion of revenue from recurring sources.
