Xerox Corp. (XRX) Updates on Expected Separation Costs

July 29, 2016 6:52 AM

Xerox Corp. (NYSE: XRX) provided an update on estimated costs associated with its planned separation into two independent, publicly traded companies. The company now expects to incur one-time separation costs of $175 to $200 million pre-tax, which is lower than its previous estimate of $200 to $250 million. Xerox also announced that tax-related separation costs are estimated to be $40 to $50 million. The company expects dis-synergy costs of $40 to $50 million in 2017, which will be more than offset by cost savings from the strategic transformation program.

In addition, Xerox made continued progress on its three-year strategic transformation program to deliver $2.4 billion in total cost savings from ongoing and incremental productivity and cost reduction initiatives across its businesses. The company is on track to realize the approximately $700 million in annualized savings it targeted for 2016. Estimated restructuring and related charges continue to be approximately $300 million for full-year 2016, including $71 million recorded in the second quarter and $197 million year-to-date.
