Anne
Mulcahy -
Xerox Corporation - Chairman, CEO
Thanks
so much and good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining us. It's short
notice
and we appreciate it. As you read we're making news today by signing a
Definitive Agreement to Acquire Global Imaging Systems. This acquisition
increases our U.S. Distribution to the small and medium sized customers
by more
than 50% and gives us access to about 200,000 new customers. It's a really
strong strategic bit with our growth strategy and positions Xerox to earn
a
greater share of the $16 billion U.S. Document Market for small and medium
sized
business. So consider these facts about the SMB market.
According
to IBC, installs of office printers and multi- function products in small
and
mid size businesses have been increasing at a compound annual growth rate
of 15%
over the last five years. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration,
small business represents 99.7% of employer firms and employ half of all
private
sector employees. Today, Xerox does not participate in an estimated 80%
of the
document decisions made by SMB's. By acquiring Global Imaging with its
extensive
distribution channel to SMB customers, Xerox is now positioned to competing
and
win in more of those buying decisions.
As
you know, we consider acquisitions to be a key way for Xerox to deliver value
to
our shareholders. We're using our healthy cash flow to build our services
business, strengthen our offerings in new markets and through this transaction,
expand our distribution capacity. This is our third acquisition in a year,
and
it is accretive to earnings. So let me give you a few details on the transaction
and then Larry and I will take your questions.
Our
agreement with Global Imaging is to acquire the Company for $29 per share.
The
total purchase price is expected to be about 1.5 billion and we'll fund the
acquisition in cash. Global focuses on SMB customers through 21 regional core
companies in the U.S. that sell and service,Document Management systems. As
an
office technology dealer, Global sells products from various suppliers, none
of
which today include Xerox. So in addition to its existing offerings, Global
Imaging will start selling Xerox Document Management Products.
Again,
this gives Xerox access to 200,000 customer whose are non-Xerox users today.
Over time, Global will offer the full range of Xerox Office and Production
Products and Supplies. Through this acquisition, Xerox will benefit not only
from increased install activity but also from the strong annuity stream that
comes from the service and supplies to support these products, so we'll see
a
boost in our post-sale revenue which represents about 70% of Xerox's total
revenue. This revenue growth will increase net income and add to our cash flow,
generating greater returns for our shareholders.
What's
most impressive to us about Global is the entrepreneur spirit they've maintained
in each of their core companies and satellite offices. Each company maintains
its own brand and prides itself on exceptional customer relationships built
on
reliable local service and support. The management team led by Global Imaging
Founder and CEO Tom Johnson, has created a well performing business model then
in fiscal year 2006, delivered full year revenue of more than 1 billion, an
increase of 11% from the previous fiscal year, and income from operations was
114 million and net income was 62 million up 9% from fiscal year,
2005.
Global
just ended its 2007 fiscal year on March 31, and its evidenced in their
year-to-date third quarter results , performance remains strong this year with
revenue up nearly 9% and net income up 11%.
Xerox
intends to benefit from this model by keeping the business intact and operating
Global as a wholly owned subsidiary. Tom Johnson and Michael Shea, President
and
COO of Global will continue to lead the Company reporting directly to Jim
Firestone, President, Xerox North America and Jim is here with us today if
you
have questions specifically for Jim.
Again,
we don't expect to make any changes to Global's operating structure. It is
proven to be quite successful. We'll evaluate synergies as we work through
the
transition. When it makes sense for Global's business model and customers will
look for ways to drive more efficiency through Xerox's existing
systems.
We
expect the deal to close in May subject to customary closing conditions. These
include the tender of at least a majority of the shares of of Global Common
Stock and HSR clearance. We've structured the transaction in two steps. First,
a
cash tender offer for all outstanding shares of Global Common Stock at $29
per
share, and second, a cash merger in which Xerox would acquire any remaining
outstanding shares of Global Common Stock. The total cash required for the
deal
will be funded through our full year 2007 cash flow and current cash
balance.
We
do expect Global to be accretive in 2007 consistent with our strategy to give
shareholders a solid return on their investments through acquisitions and share
repurchase. We will continue to execute on our share repurchase program. To
date, we bought back more than 113 million shares totaling 1.7 billion of our
2.5 billion program.
So
to sum it up, we've confident this acquisition aligns well with our overall
growth strategy, giving Xerox access to approximately 200,000 new customers,
more than 1,400 more feet on the street, and a significant opportunity to
capture more of the SMB business. Xerox already has the industry's largest
portfolio of document systems and services and the broadest U.S. Distribution
Network. With Global Imaging's localized expertise we'll increase our
distribution to SMB customers by more than 50% at a time when our portfolio
is
at its strongest. We are bullish on Global's continued growth track. It's a
well
run Company that is delivering strong, sustainable results and we intend to
benefit from this success.
We
continue to have the flexibility to build our business, both organically and
inorganically while buying back shares and maintaining a healthy financial
position. Acquiring Global makes sense for our business, delivering both
short-term benefits and long-term value.
So
Larry and Jim are with me and we would like to turn now to your questions.
As
I'm sure you appreciate this call is not about our Q1 results so we prefer
your
questions focused on the news of the day, so with that let me open the line
to
your questions about the Global acquisition.
QUESTION
AND ANSWER
Operator
Thank
you, Ms. Mulchay. [OPERATOR INSTRUCTIONS] Ladies and Gentlemen, to ask a
question, please press star one on your touch tone telephone. If your question
has been answered or you wish to withdraw your question, you may key star two.
Again, that is star one for any questions. And your first question will come
from the line of Shannon Cross of Cross Research.
Shannon
Cross -
Cross Research - Analyst
Good
morning, Anne and Larry.
Anne
Mulcahy -
Xerox Corporation - Chairman, CEO
Good
morning, Shannon.
Shannon
Cross -
Cross Research - Analyst
Could
you talk a bit about your expectation for transitioning over the Global customer
base? I mean, obviously it will take time. I talked to Tom this morning and
he
said it was sort of three to six months to transition over and get Xerox's
products into Global shops but what do you sort of anticipate over the next
year
in terms of taking on some of those 200,000 customers?
Anne
Mulcahy -
Xerox Corporation - Chairman, CEO
Well,
I think that certainly the integration of the products will begin to take place
at the close, which we expect to happen in May, and certainly, we're very
pleased with the fact that all of the Xerox portfolio fits very nicely with
certainly Global's presence at customers and customer requirements but this
is
going to be a customer driven transition. We're going to fulfill customer
contracts, we'll transition obviously as it makes sense and this is one where
certainly I think the lions portion of it might take place within the first
six
months but to get the majority I think of the transition , it will take probably
up to 12 or 18 months which is okay.
All
of that revenue and profit flows through to Xerox regardless and as you know,
Shannon, this is an incredibly well run profitable Company and obviously the
advantage for the Xerox product line is the manufacturer's margin which provides
the earnings leverage that is a big part of why this acquisition makes so much
sense.
Shannon
Cross -
Cross Research - Analyst
Okay
and can you give us an idea of how Global's strategy has been obviously to
roll
up companies, and so how aggressive do you want to see them continue to be?
I
think they are at 19 or 20 core companies, I can't remember, to be honest
but---.
Anne
Mulcahy -
Xerox Corporation - Chairman, CEO
21
core.
Shannon
Cross -
Cross Research - Analyst
21,
thank you. [LAUGHTER]. But, how aggressive do you want them to continue to
be in
terms of their traditional strategy?
Anne
Mulcahy -
Xerox Corporation - Chairman, CEO
Well,
we expect them to be I think consistently opportunistic like they've been in
the
past. I think they have acquired 82 Companies and their whole advantage is
they've got an incredible business model and discipline to improve the
performance of their acquired companies and bring them in line with the overall
Global business model and that's a very big deal, and I think as we look at
it,
the cash flow from Global will continue to provide ample room for them to
continue doing acquisitions but they are very disciplined about it. They have
very strict criteria and we're not going to try to change that. It's been a
winning formula and we expect it to continue.
Shannon
Cross -
Cross Research - Analyst
Just
one final question for Larry. Can you talk a little bit more about the share
repurchase case, I guess, because I'm sure that's the biggest question that
people have looking at this. I would assume you'll have to slowdown a bit and
then probably pick it back up again after the deal closes but can you talk
a
little bit about that?
Larry
Zimmerman -
Xerox Corporation - CFO, SVP
Well,
I think first of all, we need to recognize where we are. Anne mentioned in
our
share repurchase so we've been very aggressive on share repurchase. We've done
1.7 billion and 113 million shares in a very short period of time, so when
you
look at it over a two year period, you're still going to see a lot of shares
bought back and a lot of our cash flow put towards that. I think in the
short-term, when you paying for an acquisition in one quarter for 1.5 billion,
you do have to pull back on share repurchase somewhat in those quarters but
as
you know, we have a significant amount of authorization still left, so I think
the share repurchase program remains whole. We're committed to it and we're
just
going to see a little bit of less share repurchase as we pay for this
acquisition in 2007.
Shannon
Cross -
Cross Research - Analyst
Okay,
thank you.
Anne
Mulcahy -
Xerox Corporation - Chairman, CEO
Thanks,
Shannon.
And
your next question will come from the line of Ben Reitzes of UBS.
Ben
Reitzes -
UBS
- Analyst
Yes,
similar question, but I guess I want to hone down on one, with regard to phasing
in the product line, what do you guys, like envision in terms of training and/or
can you clarify I think three to six months, did you say, that you could start
getting Xerox product in there, and what that means for the training as well
as
any initiatives you'd have to kind of take to I guess introduce the Xerox
product line into this new channel, anymore detail there would be great,
Thanks.
Anne
Mulcahy -
Xerox Corporation - Chairman, CEO
Let
me just clarify, Ben, and tell you obviously, the product transition begins
after closing in May. Certainly, we'll paste this as quickly as makes sense
for
Global's business their customers. They have primarily a small and medium sized
set of technologies that certainly overlap very nicely with Xerox but one of
the
big opportunities is obviously things like production and solid ink and supplies
and quite frankly, all of the incremental sources of revenue that will be
available to Global and will provide top line growth for Xerox, so that's more
than just quite frankly substituting for current technologies it's adding to
and
that's going to take a little bit longer from a training perspective. This
deal
has happened very quickly but I have to tell you that both teams have been
intensively working on the training continuum that's required on both the
service and sales of new technologies and I think have a really well structured
approach to making sure that we begin at closing to very seamlessly begin to
service and sell as appropriate to Global's customers so they see nothing but
the high level of support and service that they've seen in the past. Is that
fair, Jim? Jim's been really close to this.
Jim
Firestone -
Xerox Corporation - SVP, President of Xerox North America
Yes,
I think obviously there is sales training both for the sales side and the
service side that have to be comprehended as we rollout product but we have
a
pretty solid game plan and once we close, we're ready to start.
Ben
Reitzes -
UBS
- Analyst
All
right, and with regard to overall margins and what not, can you just clarify
Global is I guess around 11% and what you see in terms of the long-term getting
more and more into this business, is this consistent with your margin expansion
strategy?
Anne
Mulcahy -
Xerox Corporation - Chairman, CEO
Well,
I think first of all, one of the great things is that Global has had a very
consistent performance, literally, over their entire history and their operating
margins have been higher than anybody else's in our sector including us quite
frankly over the past few years, so they've got a very successful business
model. What we add to that then is obviously the manufacturing leverage and
the
ability to deliver more revenue to customer based upon the expanded technology
line, so it's all upside, Ben, in terms of how we look at this, so we're
starting from a high base to begin with and we then add the leverage just on
the
revenue side in terms of the manufacturing leverage as well as all the
additional technologies that over time will provide to Global to even enrich
their relationships with customers which really are their forte
today.
Ben
Reitzes -
UBS
- Analyst
Thanks
a lot.
Anne
Mulcahy -
Xerox Corporation - Chairman, CEO
Okay.
And
your next question will come from the line of Jay Vleeschhouwer of Merrill
Lynch.
Jay
Vleeschhouwer -
Merrill Lynch - Analyst
Thanks,
good morning.
Anne
Mulcahy -
Xerox Corporation - Chairman, CEO
Good
morning, Jay.
Jay
Vleeschhouwer -
Merrill Lynch - Analyst
Could
you put this in the context of the SMB and channel announcements you made just
a
couple months ago at that large gathering you held down in Florida?
Anne
Mulcahy -
Xerox Corporation - Chairman, CEO
Yes.
Jay
Vleeschhouwer -
Merrill Lynch - Analyst
And
secondly for Jim, when you think about how OSA handled the Imagistics
acquisition or for that matter the Ricoh acquisition of Danka in Europe, any
lessons to be learned there, operationally or otherwise?
Anne
Mulcahy -
Xerox Corporation - Chairman, CEO
Yes,
I'll definitely let Jim handle the second portion of that for sure, but
--
Larry
Zimmerman -
Xerox Corporation - CFO, SVP
First,
was SMB announcement.
Anne
Mulcahy -
Xerox Corporation - Chairman, CEO
Oh,
SMB announcements that we did in Florida, and I think we view it as very much
aligned with-- what we did was announce our intent to obviously participate
a
lot more aggressively in the SMB market, I mean , we through out a few
statistics there for you, but we don't participate in 80% of the SMB
decisions.
It
is the fastest growing part of the market and by the way most profitable in
terms of margins as well versus a lot of the pressure on price in terms of
big
enterprises, so we announced our intent. Part of that was adding tools and
incentives or agents. Part of it was expanding our reach with resellers as
well
as product line. We think it's very consistent with that. I mean, when you
haven't participated that in 80% of the decision quite frankly, there's not
a
ton of overlap.
We'll
obviously be looking at that and rationalizing it and providing the right kinds
of guidelines so that the customer sees quite frankly a very rationalized
coverage approach, Jay, but we've been working hard on that and anticipate
that
this can be very well aligned with the rest of our channels.
Jim
Firestone -
Xerox Corporation - SVP, President of Xerox North America
And
if I can jump in on how we see the integration, this is a very nice thing,
because this dramatically deepens our position with the small and medium
business market very much consistent with the themes we gave in February as
the
importance of that market. And there's three key values and we'll do an
integration approach that provides all three of them.
First
is the existing customer base and the great relationships they have and we
are
going to do what it makes says as Anne said, Customer driven as we add the
Xerox
product line as well. Second, is they have 1,400 salespeople all in the SMB
space. We're going to leverage that sales capability for the full Xerox product
line capability and third is their business model. The local intimacy that
their
core Company approach culture, entrepreneurial spirit provides is crucial to
the
value proposition here, so when we bring them in, we're going to preserve that
operating model. We're going to leverage the management team that already exists
today, and give them more tools to continue to pursue their approach, and I
think we can support them strongly, but this is all about leveraging what
they've built into the SMB market which is a market that we have been weaker
in.
Anne
Mulcahy -
Xerox Corporation - Chairman, CEO
And
I think, Jay, as people dig into this particular Company, Global Imaging, they
are going to find that it really isn't comparable to Danka or Imagistic, it's
performing at 10X the levels of those companies. This is not a fixer upper.
This
is a really well run, high performing Company that is going to be part of Xerox
and I don't think it's comparable to some of the other acquisitions that we've
seen in the past.
Jay
Vleeschhouwer -
Merrill Lynch - Analyst
One
final one. What are you assuming about the continuity or trend or demand for
their existing suppliers in the very near-term, recently we've seen that Kanaka
has begun to peak out in some categories in mono and color and is this something
that you've tried to factor in in terms of how their existing suppliers might
either react or the demand you might see for those products?
Anne
Mulcahy -
Xerox Corporation - Chairman, CEO
Well,
I think that we would look at this and say: There's contracts and agreements
that certainly we assume will be professionally honored during this transition
time frame, and this is one where we're going to play that in a very rational
way. There's not going to be any radical shifts that would be a concern to
either current suppliers or quite frankly, customers. So this will be, as I
said, we get the revenue and the profit either way, so this is going to be
a
very logical transition. One of the opportunities I think we see, Jay, is that
certainly, Global has been operating kind of at a market pace on color with
the
Xerox portfolio, we think that that particular part of the Global portfolio
is
going to be optimized by Global and will see an up lift so we're very excited
about the color opportunity.
Jay
Vleeschhouwer -
Merrill Lynch - Analyst
Thank
you.
Anne
Mulcahy -
Xerox Corporation - Chairman, CEO
Okay,
I think we have time for one more question. I apologize but obviously we'll
be
following up with anybody during the day and we've obviously got a lot of other
communications sessions so if I could take one more that would be
great.
Sure.
Your final question will come from the line of Carol Sabbagha from Lehman
Brothers.
Carol
Sabbagha -
Lehman Brothers - Analyst
Thanks.
Could we just go over some of the numbers that you're looking for for this
year.
You said it would be accretive for this year? Could you give us an order of
magnitude? It seems like if I did my math right several pennies and than more
of
a longer-term question beyond '07. You keep talking about this business running
exactly the way it is and separately but there seems like there could be cost
cutting synergies here, maybe not in the sales force but at least in the
servicing organization. Can you talk about the potential, not just for getting
the manufacturing margins but for additional benefits on the cost
side?
Anne
Mulcahy -
Xerox Corporation - Chairman, CEO
Okay,
so let me just talk about the fact that it is accretive in 2007. I mean,
obviously it's somewhat a little bit more than a half a year of results and
obviously, a lot of the front end expenses with regards to the transition don't
give you what I would, an ongoing pace of accretion simply because it will
be
relatively modest in the first year, but enthusiastically , certainly over
the
long-term, very accretive and one that we've looked at with a great deal of
enthusiasm. I think as it relates to synergies, one of the things that we really
liked about this, Carol, is that the biggest synergy opportunity is topline.
That's really what we've looked at in terms of a business case here, and
certainly the best creator of long-term value for our shareholders.
Over
time, will there be efficiencies? Absolutely, quite possibly. We're going to
take our time and certainly make sure that we look at them carefully. I would
not point to service as a point of synergy because this is all about growth,
and
I think that it's a well run, very productive Company so I don't think
necessarily I would look at the service synergies. I think more importantly,
probably initially, there's some kind of headquarters, functional synergies,
perhaps, areas like treasury and tax and that kind of thing, and certainly
over
the long-term perhaps some platform as it relates to fulfillment synergies,
certainly for us supply chain, warehousing, those kinds of opportunities we'll
be in the process of identifying, so but that work is really just beginning
in
terms of what I would call the cost efficiencies, and I think they are somewhat
minor compared to what we believe the topline opportunity is.
Carol
Sabbagha -
Lehman Brothers - Analyst
And
one more question, just quickly. Historically, I think the industry has said
in
the past that sometimes buying distribution is not the best idea because you
typically can't transition the entire installed base to your own equipment.
What
gives you confidence that you can transition and when you did the math about
whether this acquisition made sense, what was the assumption of the install
base
that you believed would transition?
Anne
Mulcahy -
Xerox Corporation - Chairman, CEO
Well,
I think first of all, I would say that I guess every transition, every one
of
these acquisitions is quite different. For us, there's no question that our
biggest barrier to growth was distribution capacity and not our offering and
our
portfolio of technology and as you know, it is the broadest and the deepest
in
the industry, so I think we are uniquely positioned as a manufacturer with
a
barrier to grow that was limited by distribution capacity, so I think this
is
particular to Xerox that it makes great sense from a distribution capacity
perspective.
We
have clearly looked at I would say a conservative approach as it relates to
the
integration of Xerox technology into Global. We've worked closely with their
team to assess what those possibilities are, and no matter how you look at
it,
Carol, it looks good. And not just in terms of as I said, even if you're
conservative on the substitutional value, the incremental opportunity just
in
terms of parts of the portfolio that Global has not had access to in the past
with more than 200,000 or almost 200,000 customers and 1400 feet on the street
,
there's no way that this case doesn't look very very positive.
Carol
Sabbagha -
Lehman Brothers - Analyst
Okay,
thank you very much.
Anne Mulcahy -
Xerox Corporation - Chairman, CEO
Okay,
well, I thank all of you for your time today. We'll obviously be following
up
with a lot more details and we look forward of course to talk to you again
soon
when we announce the Q1 earnings later in the month so have a great day. Thank
you.
