Second quarter 2026 effective tax rate was 58.1% and resulted in tax expense of $18. This rate was higher than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to Xerox's inability to benefit from certain current year losses and expenses, as well as the geographical mix of earnings.
Second quarter 2025 effective tax rate was (76.7)% and resulted in tax expense of $46 on a pre-tax (loss). This rate was higher than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21.0%, primarily due to not benefitting from certain current year losses and expenses, as well as the geographical mix of earnings.
The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was (119.0)% and resulted in tax expense of $50 on a pre-tax (loss). This rate was higher than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to Xerox's inability to benefit from certain current year losses and expenses, as well as the geographical mix of earnings.
The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was (54.3)% and resulted in tax expense of $69 on a pre-tax (loss). This rate was higher than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to the establishment of a valuation allowance in the first quarter 2025 against certain deferred tax assets as well as not benefiting from certain current year losses and expenses and the geographical mix of earnings.
The effective tax rate is based on nonrecurring events as well as recurring factors, including the taxation of foreign income. In addition, the effective tax rate will change based on discrete or other nonrecurring events that may not be predictable.
