On Tuesday, Shares of Xerox Corporation (NYSE:XRX), lost -2.93% to $10.59.
Xerox Corporation, declared changes in the company’s Government Healthcare Solutions strategy resulting from a comprehensive review of its in-process Health Enterprise Medicaid platform implementations and future market opportunities.
Going forward, Xerox will focus on managing and concluding the current Health Enterprise implementations, and will be highly selective in responding to new Medicaid Administration Information System opportunities. In addition, the company will discontinue investment in and sales of the Xerox Integrated Eligibility System in order to concentrate more of its future software development efforts on the existing Health Enterprise implementations.
As a result of this planned change, Xerox will record a pre-tax non-cash software impairment charge of about $145 million (about $90 million after-tax or 8 cents per share) in its second-quarter 2015 results. We now expect second-quarter 2015 GAAP earnings from ongoing operations of 9 to 11 cents per share, which is below the company’s preceding guidance. Not taking into account the impairment charge, adjusted earnings per share is predictable to be in line with the company’s preceding guidance of 21 to 23 cents.
Xerox Corporation provides business process and document administration solutions worldwide. The company’s Services segment offers various business process outsourcing services, such as customer care, transaction processing, human resources, communication and marketing, and consulting and analytics services, in addition to finance, accounting, and procurement services.
