New Accounting Standards and Accounting Changes
Xerox Holdings and Xerox consider the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). The ASUs listed below apply to both registrants. Except for the Accounting Standard Updates (ASUs) discussed below, the new ASUs issued by the FASB during the last two years did not have any significant impact on the Company.
Accounting Standard Updates to be Adopted:
Interim Reporting - Narrow-Scope Improvements
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, which amends existing guidance to clarify and improve certain interim reporting requirements, including disclosures and the application of interim period accounting principles in specific circumstances. The amendments in this update also include a disclosure principle that requires entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The amendments are effective for interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its interim disclosures and consolidated financial statements.
Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements, which provides targeted improvements intended to simplify the application of hedge accounting, reduce complexity and cost, and enhance the transparency of hedge-related disclosures. The amendments in this update address certain hedge designation requirements and related documentation, provides targeted relief and clarity regarding methods and timing for assessing effectiveness, improves guidance related to accounting for modifications, and refines and eliminates certain disclosure requirements. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its hedge accounting policies and consolidated financial statements.
Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal Use Software
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025‑06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Topic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The amendments are intended to modernize the recognition and capitalization framework to reflect current software development practices, including iterative and agile methodologies, by removing references to "development stages". It also clarifies the criteria for capitalization, which begins when both of the following occur: (1) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and (2) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The ASU permits companies to elect one of the following adoption methods to apply its amendments: a prospective transition approach, a retrospective transition approach, or a modified transition approach that is based on the status of the project and whether software costs were capitalized before the date of adoption. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. We are currently evaluating the adoption of this standard and its impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

This ASU permits entities to apply a practical expedient when estimating credit losses and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted, and should be applied prospectively. We are currently evaluating the adoption of this standard and its impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard to determine its impact on the Company's disclosures.
