SendTech revenue decline was driven by the end of the recent product migration, which largely concluded at the end of 2024, the ongoing shift from equipment placement to lease extensions and a decrease in mailing install base.

Adjusted Segment EBITDA and EBIT improvement was driven by simplification and cost reduction initiatives.

Presort Services

Presort Services provides sortation services that enable clients to qualify for USPS workshare discounts in First Class Mail, Marketing Mail, Marketing Mail Flats and Bound Printed Matter.

Change to Segment Reporting

Effective April 1, 2025, we revised our segment reporting to report the revenue and related expenses of a cross-border services contract in our SendTech Solutions reporting segment, which was previously reported in Other. Prior periods have been recast to conform to the current period presentation.

2025 Full-Year Outlook

Pitney Bowes has updated its full-year revenue guidance, from a $1.95 billion to $2 billion range to a $1.90 billion to $1.95 billion range. This update, which is almost entirely attributable to Presort, stems from previously overemphasizing EBIT margins at the expense of winning and retaining certain Presort clients, which would have been profitable at lower margins. New management has reversed former management’s policy to ensure Presort can leverage its strength and scale as the market leader under Debbie Pfeiffer. The Company also has raised its Adjusted EPS guidance from $1.10 to $1.30 range to a $1.20 to $1.40 range. The Company has tightened its Adjusted EBIT guidance by lowering the top end of the range and reaffirms its previously disclosed full-year guidance for Free Cash Flow. The Company’s current financial guidance is as follows:

About Pitney Bowes

Pitney Bowes (NYSE: PBI) is a technology-driven company that provides SaaS shipping solutions, mailing innovation, and financial services to clients around the world – including more than 90 percent of the Fortune 500. Small businesses to large enterprises, and government entities rely on Pitney Bowes to reduce the complexity of sending mail and parcels.

Adjusted Segment EBIT

Adjusted Segment EBIT is the primary measure of profitability and operational performance at the segment level. Adjusted Segment EBIT includes segment revenues and related costs and expenses attributable to the segment, but excludes interest, taxes, general corporate expenses, restructuring charges, and other items not allocated to a business segment. We also report Adjusted Segment EBITDA as an additional useful measure of segment profitability and operational performance, which is calculated as Adjusted Segment EBIT plus depreciation and amortization expense of the segment.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

Pitney Bowes’ financial results are reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Pitney Bowes also discloses certain non-GAAP measures, such as revenue growth on a constant currency basis, adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (Adjusted EBIT), adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA), adjusted earnings per share (Adjusted EPS) and free cash flow.

Revenue growth on a constant currency basis excludes the impact of changes in currency exchange rates from the prior period under comparison. Constant currency change is calculated by converting the current period non-U.S. dollar denominated revenue using the prior year’s exchange rate. We believe that excluding the impacts of currency exchange rates provides a better understanding of the underlying revenue performance.

Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS exclude the impact of restructuring charges, foreign currency gains and losses on intercompany loans, certain costs associated with the Ecommerce Restructuring, gains and losses on debt redemptions and other unusual items that we believe are not indicative to our core business operations.

Free cash flow adjusts cash flow from operations calculated in accordance with GAAP for capital expenditures, restructuring payments and other special items. Management believes free cash flow provides better insight into the amount of cash available for other discretionary uses.

Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to comparable GAAP measures can be found in the attached financial schedules and at the Company's web site at: https://www.investorrelations.pitneybowes.com/
