Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and the instructions to Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In addition, the December 31, 2024 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. In management's opinion, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary to fairly state our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented have been included. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2025. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report to Stockholders on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (2024 Annual Report).

Effective January 1, 2025, we revised our reporting presentation of revenue and cost of revenue to better align with our offerings. We now report Services revenue and Cost of services, which includes the previously reported Business services and Support services, Products revenue and Cost of products, which includes the previously reported Equipment sales and Supplies and Financing and other revenue and Cost of financing and other, which includes the previously reported Financing and Rentals. Prior periods have been recast to conform to the current period presentation.

As a result of the wind-down of a majority of the former Global Ecommerce reportable segment in August 2024, certain revenues and expenses for the period ended March 31, 2024 are reported as discontinued operations in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 4 for further information.

During the first quarter of 2025, we identified an error and recorded an out of period adjustment of $4 million to correct an overstatement of revenue in prior periods. The impact of the adjustment is not material to the consolidated financial statements for any interim or annual periods prior to 2025 and is not expected to be material to the 2025 annual period.

During the first quarter of 2024, we identified an error and recorded an out of period adjustment of $5 million to correct an understatement of revenue in prior periods, of which $4 million originated in 2020 and prior. The impact of the adjustment was not material to the consolidated financial statements for any interim or annual periods.
