NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited; table amounts in thousands, except per share data)

1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Pitney Bowes Inc. and its subsidiaries (we, us, our or the Company) is a global technology company offering innovative products and solutions that enable commerce in the areas of customer information management, location intelligence, customer engagement, shipping and mailing, and global ecommerce. 

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements 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, 2014 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, 2015.

During the second quarter, we determined that at December 31, 2014, certain customer deposits in a debit position within current liabilities should have been classified as a current asset and certain customer deposits within current liabilities should have been classified as a non-current liability. Accordingly, the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2014 has been revised by increasing accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and other non-current liabilities by $23 million, $14 million and $9 million, respectively. This revision was not material to any of our previously issued financial statements. Previously issued financial statements will be revised to reflect this revision in future filings.

In the fourth quarter of 2014, we noted that certain purchases and sales of available-for-sale securities were reported net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Accordingly, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2014 has been revised by increasing purchases of available-for-sale securities and proceeds from sales/maturities of available-for-sale securities by $422 million. This revision did not have any impact on the reported net cash flow from investing activities or overall change in cash in any of our previously issued financial statements.

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, 2014 (2014 Annual Report).

New Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2015-05, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software, Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement, which provides guidance on fees paid by an entity in a cloud computing arrangement and whether an arrangement includes a license to the underlying software. This standard is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the associated debt liability. This standard is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. We do not believe this standard will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items, which removes the concept of extraordinary items, thereby eliminating the need for companies to assess transactions for extraordinary treatment. The standard retained the presentation and disclosure requirements for items that are unusual in nature and/or infrequent in occurrence. The standard is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. We do not believe this standard will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard requires companies to recognize revenue for the transfer of goods and services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration the company expects to receive in exchange for those goods and services. The standard will also result in enhanced disclosures about revenue. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date. This standard is now effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The standard can be adopted either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment. Companies are permitted to adopt the standard as early as the original public entity effective date (fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2016). Early adoption prior to that date is prohibited. We are currently assessing the impact this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

2. Segment Information

As a result of the acquisition of Borderfree Inc. (Borderfree) and the sale of Imagitas (see Note 3), we realigned our segment reporting to conform to the way we now manage our segments and recast prior period amounts to conform to the current year presentation. Our business continues to be organized around three distinct sets of solutions – Small and Medium Business (SMB) Solutions, Enterprise Business Solutions and Digital Commerce Solutions (DCS). Under the new segment reporting, there are no changes to SMB Solutions or Enterprise Business Solutions; however, within DCS, we now report Software Solutions and Global Ecommerce Solutions as reportable segments. Other is comprised of our Marketing Services business, Imagitas, which was sold in May 2015. Imagitas was previously reported in DCS. The principal products and services of each of our reportable segments are as follows:

Small & Medium Business Solutions:

North America Mailing: Includes the revenue and related expenses from the sale, rental, financing and servicing of mailing equipment and supplies for small and medium businesses to efficiently create mail and evidence postage in the U.S. and Canada.

International Mailing: Includes the revenue and related expenses from the sale, rental, financing and servicing of mailing equipment and supplies for small and medium businesses to efficiently create mail and evidence postage in areas outside the U.S. and Canada.

Enterprise Business Solutions:

Production Mail: Includes the worldwide revenue and related expenses from the sale of production mail inserting and sortation equipment, high-speed production print systems, supplies and related support services to large enterprise clients to process inbound and outbound mail.

Presort Services: Includes revenue and related expenses from presort mail services for our large enterprise clients to qualify large mail volumes for postal worksharing discounts.

Digital Commerce Solutions:

Software Solutions: Includes the worldwide revenue and related expenses from the sale of non-equipment-based mailing, customer information management, location intelligence and customer engagement solutions and related support services.

Global Ecommerce Solutions: Includes the worldwide revenue and related expenses from global ecommerce and shipping solutions.

We determine segment earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) by deducting the related costs and expenses attributable to the segment from segment revenue. Segment EBIT excludes interest, taxes, general corporate expenses, restructuring charges and other items, which are not allocated to a particular business segment. Management uses segment EBIT to measure profitability and performance at the segment level. Management believes segment EBIT provides a useful measure of our operating performance and underlying trends of the businesses. Segment EBIT may not be indicative of our overall consolidated performance and therefore, should be read in conjunction with our consolidated results of operations.

3. Business Combinations and Divestiture

Business Combinations

Borderfree Inc.

On June 10, 2015, we acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Borderfree. Borderfree provides cross-border ecommerce solutions through a proprietary technology and services platform that enables retailers to transact with consumers around the world. Borderfree is reported within our Global Ecommerce segment (see Note 2). The purchase price was $386 million, net of $88 million of cash acquired. In addition, we also paid $10 million for the accelerated vesting and settlement of Borderfree stock-based compensation awards and $8 million of transaction costs. The $10 million of expense related to Borderfree stock-based compensation awards was recognized as selling, general and administrative expenses and the $8 million of transaction costs was recognized within other (income) expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was as follows:

Accounts receivable	$	16,964
Fixed assets	7,293
Goodwill	285,727
Intangible assets	156,800
Accounts payable and other current liabilities	(35,117		)
Deferred taxes, net	(46,819		)
Other assets and liabilities, net	1,412
	$	386,260

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is primarily attributable to expected growth opportunities, synergies and other benefits that we believe will result from combining the operations of Borderfree with our operations. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

Intangible assets acquired consist of the following:

	Value		Amortization period
Customer Relationships	$	135,500	10 years
Developed Technology	12,600		5 years
Trade Names	8,700		5 years
	$	156,800

The allocation of the purchase price to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is preliminary and subject to further adjustments as we obtain additional information during the measurement period, which will not exceed 12 months from the acquisition date. Adjustments in the purchase price allocation may require a recasting of the amounts allocated to goodwill retroactive to the period in which the acquisition occurred.

The results of operations of Borderfree are included in our consolidated results from the date of acquisition. Our consolidated operating results for the three and six months ended June 30,2015 include revenue of $7 million. On a supplemental pro forma basis, had we acquired Borderfree on January 1, 2014, our revenues would have been higher by $22 million and $31 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $47 million and $57 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The impact on our earnings would not have been material.

Real Time Content, Inc.

On May 1, 2015, we acquired Real Time Content, Inc. (RTC) for $6 million, net of cash acquired. RTC provides technology that enables clients to provide personalized interactive video communications to their customers. RTC is reported within our Software Solutions segment.

7. Finance Assets

Finance Receivables

Finance receivables are comprised of sales-type lease receivables and unsecured revolving loan receivables. Sales-type lease receivables are generally due in monthly, quarterly or semi-annual installments over periods ranging from three to five years. Loan receivables arise primarily from financing services offered to our customers for postage and supplies. Loan receivables are generally due each month; however, customers may rollover outstanding balances. Interest is recognized on loan receivables using the effective interest method and related annual fees are initially deferred and recognized ratably over the annual period covered. Customer acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.

Finance receivables at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 consisted of the following:

	June 30, 2015									December 31, 2014
	North America			International			Total			North America			International			Total

Allowance for Credit Losses and Aging of Receivables

We estimate our finance receivable risks and provide an allowance for credit losses accordingly. We evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses based on historical loss experience, the nature and volume of our portfolios, adverse situations that may affect a client's ability to pay, prevailing economic conditions and our ability to manage the collateral and make adjustments to the allowance as necessary. This evaluation is inherently subjective and actual results may differ significantly from estimated reserves.

We establish credit approval limits based on the credit quality of the client and the type of equipment financed. Our policy is to discontinue revenue recognition for lease receivables that are more than 120 days past due and for unsecured loan receivables that are more than 90 days past due. We resume revenue recognition when payments reduce the account balance aging to 60 days or less past due. Finance receivables deemed uncollectible are written off against the allowance after all collection efforts have been exhausted and management deems the account to be uncollectible. We believe that our finance receivable credit risk is limited because of our large number of clients, small account balances for most of our clients, and geographic and industry diversification.

Credit Quality

The extension of credit and management of credit lines to new and existing clients uses a combination of an automated credit score, where available, and a detailed manual review of the client’s financial condition and, when applicable, payment history. Once credit is granted, the payment performance of the client is managed through automated collections processes and is supplemented with direct follow up should an account become delinquent. We have robust automated collections and extensive portfolio management processes. The portfolio management processes ensure that our global strategy is executed, collection resources are allocated appropriately and enhanced tools and processes are implemented as needed.

We use a third party to score the majority of the North America portfolio on a quarterly basis using a commercial credit score. We do not use a third party to score our international portfolio because the cost to do so is prohibitive, given that it is a localized process and there is no single credit score model that covers all countries.

The table below shows the North America portfolio at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 by relative risk class (low, medium, high) based on the relative scores of the accounts within each class. The relative scores are determined based on a number of factors, including the company type, ownership structure, payment history and financial information. A fourth class is shown for accounts that are not scored. Absence of a score is not indicative of the credit quality of the account. The degree of risk, as defined by the third party, refers to the relative risk that an account in the next 12 month period may become delinquent.

• Low risk accounts are companies with very good credit scores and are considered to approximate the top 30% of all commercial borrowers.

• Medium risk accounts are companies with average to good credit scores and are considered to approximate the middle 40% of all commercial borrowers.

• High risk accounts are companies with poor credit scores, are delinquent or are at risk of becoming delinquent and are considered to approximate the bottom 30% of all commercial borrowers.

Amortization expense was $8 million and $6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively and $16 million and $12 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

In 2015, we acquired certain intangible assets in connection with the acquisitions of Borderfree (see Note 3). The change in supplier relationships is the result of the sale of Imagitas.

Future amortization expense for intangible assets as of June 30, 2015 was as follows:

Remaining for year ending December 31, 2015	$	22,328
Year ending December 31, 2016	39,995
Year ending December 31, 2017	29,077
Year ending December 31, 2018	26,470
Year ending December 31, 2019	23,415
Thereafter	82,035
Total	$	223,320

Actual amortization expense may differ from the amounts above due to, among other things, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, impairments, acquisitions and accelerated amortization.

Goodwill

The changes in the carrying value of goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2015 were as follows:

9. Fair Value Measurements and Derivative Instruments

We measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity-specific measure. An entity is required to classify certain assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on the following fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2 – Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, may be derived from internally developed methodologies based on management’s best estimate of fair value and that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability.

The following tables show, by level within the fair value hierarchy, our financial assets and liabilities that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect its placement within the fair value hierarchy.

Investment Securities

The valuation of investment securities is based on the market approach using inputs that are observable, or can be corroborated by observable data, in an active marketplace. The following information relates to our classification into the fair value hierarchy:

• Money market funds / commercial paper: Money market funds typically invest in government securities, certificates of deposit, commercial paper and other highly liquid, low-risk securities. Money market funds are principally used for overnight deposits and are classified as Level 1 when unadjusted quoted prices in active markets are available and as Level 2 when they are not actively traded on an exchange. Direct investments in commercial paper are not listed on an exchange in an active market and are classified as Level 2.

• Equity securities: Equity securities are comprised of mutual funds investing in U.S. and foreign common stock. These mutual funds are classified as Level 2 as they are not separately listed on an exchange.

• Commingled fixed income securities: Mutual funds that invest in a variety of fixed income securities including securities of the U.S. government and its agencies, corporate debt, mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities. The value of the funds is based on the market value of the underlying investments owned by each fund, minus its liabilities, divided by the number of shares outstanding, as reported by the fund manager. These commingled funds are not listed on an exchange in an active market and are classified as Level 2.

• U.S. Government, federal agencies and municipalities: Securities are classified as Level 1 where active, high volume trades for identical securities exist. Valuation adjustments are not applied to these securities. Securities valued using quoted market prices for similar securities or benchmarking model derived prices to quoted market prices and trade data for identical or comparable securities are classified as Level 2.

• Corporate notes and bonds: Corporate notes and bonds are valued using recently executed transactions, market price quotations where observable, or bond spreads. The spread data used are for the same maturity as the security. These securities are classified as Level 2.

• Mortgage-backed / asset-backed securities: These securities are valued based on external pricing indices. When external index pricing is not observable, these securities are valued based on external price/spread data. These securities are classified as Level 2.

Available-For-Sale Securities

Certain investment securities are classified as available-for-sale and recorded at fair value in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and other assets depending on the type of investment and maturity. Unrealized holding gains and losses are recorded, net of tax, in accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL).

Available-for-sale securities at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 consisted of the following:

	June 30, 2015
	Amortized cost		Gross unrealized gains		Gross unrealized losses			Estimated fair value
U.S. Government, federal agencies and municipalities	$	131,031	$	1,927	$	(1,244	)	$	131,714
Corporate notes and bonds	65,396		1,112		(668		)	65,840
Mortgage-backed / asset-backed securities	165,095		2,360		(1,129		)	166,326
Total	$	361,522	$	5,399	$	(3,041	)	$	363,880

	December 31, 2014
	Amortized cost		Gross unrealized gains		Gross unrealized losses			Estimated fair value
U.S. Government, federal agencies and municipalities	$	135,839	$	2,905	$	(764	)	$	137,980
Corporate notes and bonds	66,170		1,569		(291		)	67,448
Mortgage-backed / asset-backed securities	155,330		2,362		(1,078		)	156,614
Total	$	357,339	$	6,836	$	(2,133	)	$	362,042

At June 30, 2015, investment securities that were in a loss position for 12 or more continuous months had aggregate unrealized holding losses of $1 million and an estimated fair value of $33 million, and investment securities that were in a loss position for less than 12 continuous months had aggregate unrealized holding losses of $2 million and an estimated fair value of $95 million.

At December 31, 2014, investment securities that were in a loss position for 12 or more continuous months had aggregate unrealized holding losses of $1 million and an estimated fair value of $42 million, and investment securities that were in a loss position for less than 12 continuous months had aggregate unrealized holding losses of $1 million and an estimated fair value of $88 million.

We have not recognized an other-than-temporary impairment on any of the investment securities in an unrealized loss position because we do not intend to sell these securities, it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell these securities before recovery of the unrealized losses and we expect to receive the contractual principal and interest on these investment securities.

Scheduled maturities of available-for-sale securities at June 30, 2015 were as follows:

	Amortized cost		Estimated fair value
Within 1 year	$	64,668	$	64,716
After 1 year through 5 years	63,180		64,229
After 5 years through 10 years	57,909		58,599
After 10 years	175,765		176,336
Total	$	361,522	$	363,880

The expected payments on mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may not coincide with their contractual maturities as borrowers have the right to prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalties.

We have not experienced any significant write-offs in our investment portfolio. The majority of our mortgage-backed securities are either guaranteed or supported by the U.S. Government. We have no investments in inactive markets that would warrant a possible change in our pricing methods or classification within the fair value hierarchy. Further, we have no investments in auction rate securities.

Derivative Instruments

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. We limit these risks by following established risk management policies and procedures, including the use of derivatives. We use derivative instruments to limit the effects of exchange rate fluctuations on financial results and manage the related cost of debt. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. We record our derivative instruments at fair value and the accounting for changes in the fair value depends on the intended use of the derivative, the resulting designation and the effectiveness of the instrument in offsetting the risk exposure it is designed to hedge.

The valuation of foreign exchange derivatives is based on the market approach using observable market inputs, such as foreign currency spot and forward rates and yield curves. As required by the fair value measurements guidance, we also incorporate counterparty credit risk and our credit risk into the fair value measurement of our derivative assets and liabilities, respectively. We derive credit risk from observable data in the credit default swap market. We have not seen a material change in the creditworthiness of those banks acting as derivative counterparties.

The fair value of derivative instruments at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was as follows:

Designation of Derivatives	Balance Sheet Location	June 30, 2015			December 31, 2014
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments
Foreign exchange contracts	Other current assets and prepayments	$	518		$	762
	Accounts payable and accrued liabilities:	(415		)	—
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments
Foreign exchange contracts	Other current assets and prepayments	320			624
	Accounts payable and accrued liabilities:	(4,115		)	(2,988		)
	Total derivative assets	$	838		$	1,386
	Total derivative liabilities	(4,530		)	(2,988		)
	Total net derivative liabilities	$	(3,692	)	$	(1,602	)

Foreign Exchange Contracts

We enter into foreign exchange contracts to mitigate the currency risk associated with the anticipated purchase of inventory between affiliates and from third parties. These contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. The effective portion of the gain or loss on cash flow hedges is included in AOCL in the period that the change in fair value occurs and is reclassified to earnings in the period that the hedged item is recorded in earnings. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had outstanding contracts associated with these anticipated transactions with notional amounts of $18 million.

The amounts included in AOCL at June 30, 2015 will be recognized in earnings within the next 12 months. No amount of ineffectiveness was recorded in earnings for these designated cash flow hedges.

We also enter into foreign exchange contracts to minimize the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on short-term intercompany loans and related interest that are denominated in a foreign currency. The revaluation of the intercompany loans and interest and the mark-to-market adjustment on the derivatives are both recorded in earnings. All outstanding contracts at June 30, 2015 mature within 12 months.

Credit-Risk-Related Contingent Features

Certain derivative instruments contain credit-risk-related contingent features that would require us to post collateral based on a combination of our long-term senior unsecured debt ratings and the net fair value of our derivatives. At June 30, 2015, the maximum amount of collateral that we would have been required to post had the credit-risk-related contingent features been triggered was $4 million.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, investment securities, accounts receivable, loan receivables, derivative instruments, accounts payable and debt. The carrying value for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, loans receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

The fair value of our debt is estimated based on recently executed transactions and market price quotations. These inputs used to determine the fair value of our debt were classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value and estimated fair value of our debt at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were as follows:

	June 30, 2015		December 31, 2014
Carrying value	$	2,994,190	$	3,252,006

The majority of the remaining restructuring reserves are expected to be paid over the next 12 to 24 months; however, due to certain international labor laws and long-term lease agreements, some payments will extend beyond 24 months. We expect to fund these payments from cash flows from operations.

Asset impairment

During the second quarter of 2015, we sold our world headquarters building for $39 million and recorded a loss on the sale of $5 million. The loss was recognized in restructuring charges and asset impairments, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

Nonpension postretirement benefit plan contributions were $11 million and $12 million through June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively.

13. Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was 25.0% and 33.5%, respectively, and the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was 29.8% and 28.2%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30,2015 includes a $20 million benefit resulting from the disposition of Imagitas. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2015 also includes a $3 million charge from the write-off of deferred tax assets associated with the expiration of out-of-the-money vested stock options and the vesting of restricted stock units. The effective tax rate for six months ended June 30, 2014 includes a benefit of $6 million from the resolution of tax examinations and incremental tax benefit associated with the early extinguishment of debt.

As is the case with other large corporations, our tax returns are examined each year by tax authorities in the U.S., other countries and local jurisdictions in which we have operations. The Internal Revenue Service examinations of tax years prior to 2011 are closed to audit. Other than the pending application of legal principles to specific issues arising in earlier years, only post-2009 Canadian tax years are subject to examination. Other significant tax filings subject to examination include various post-2004 U.S. state and local, post-2007 German, and post-2010 French and U.K. tax filings. We have other less significant tax filings currently under examination or subject to examination.

14. Noncontrolling Interests (Preferred Stockholders’ Equity in Subsidiaries)

Pitney Bowes International Holdings, Inc. (PBIH), a subsidiary of the Company, has 300,000 shares, or $300 million, of outstanding perpetual voting preferred stock (PBIH Preferred Stock) held by certain institutional investors. The holders of PBIH Preferred Stock are entitled as a group to 25% of the combined voting power of all classes of capital stock of PBIH. All outstanding common stock of PBIH, representing the remaining 75% of the combined voting power of all classes of capital stock, is owned directly or indirectly by the Company. The PBIH Preferred Stock is entitled to cumulative dividends at a rate of 6.125% through April 30, 2016. Commencing October 30, 2016, the PBIH Preferred Stock is redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of PBIH. If the PBIH Preferred Stock is not redeemed in whole on October 30, 2016, the dividend rate increases 50% and will increase 50% every six months thereafter. No dividends were in arrears at June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

15. Commitments and Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, we are routinely defendants in, or party to a number of pending and threatened legal actions. These may involve litigation by or against us relating to, among other things, contractual rights under vendor, insurance or other contracts; intellectual property or patent rights; equipment, service, payment or other disputes with clients; or disputes with employees. Some of these actions may be brought as a purported class action on behalf of a purported class of employees, customers or others. In management's opinion, the potential liability, if any, that may result from these actions, either individually or collectively, is not reasonably expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, as litigation is inherently unpredictable, there can be no assurances in this regard.

In December 2013, we received a Civil Investigative Demand (CID) from the Department of Justice (DOJ) pursuant to the False Claims Act requesting documents and information relating to compliance with certain postal regulatory requirements in our Presort Services business. We provided information to the DOJ in response to letter requests and the CID. Our ongoing discussions with the DOJ regarding a resolution of this matter have now resulted in a settlement in principle. As a result, we accrued $7 million, net of estimated recoveries. The charge is recorded in other (income) expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report and in our 2014 Annual Report. All table amounts are shown in thousands of dollars, unless otherwise noted.

Overview

For the second quarter of 2015, revenue decreased8% to $881 million compared to $958 million in the second quarter of 2014. Revenue for the quarter was negatively impacted by 4% due to foreign currency translation and 1% from the exit of non-core product lines in Norway and the transition in certain European countries to a dealer network in the third quarter of 2014 (Divested Businesses).

In the quarter, equipment sales declined 14%, support services declined 12%, rentals revenue declined 9% and software revenue declined 9%. Excluding the impacts of foreign currency translation and Divested Businesses, equipment sales declined 6% compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to weakness in our European markets due to difficult economic circumstances and temporary disruptions in

28

the sales process caused by the initial implementation of our go-to-market strategy in some of our large markets. Equipment sales were also impacted by fewer installations of production mail equipment and lower sales in North America. Support services revenue declined 3% and rentals revenue declined 6% compared to the prior year quarter due to fewer mailing machines in service, a shift by customers to purchase lower cost, less featured mailing machines and lower maintenance revenue on production mail equipment as some in-house mailers moved their mail processing to third-party service bureaus who service some of their own equipment. Software revenue declined 4% primarily due to a decline in worldwide services revenue and licensing revenue.

Net income from continuing operations and earnings per diluted share for the second quarter of 2015 were $153 million and $0.75, respectively, compared to $88 million and $0.43, respectively, in 2014. The increase was driven primarily by the gain on the sale of Imagitas and lower selling, general and administrative expenses partially offset by the impact of lower revenue and higher restructuring charges and asset impairments.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, we generated cash from operations of $200 million and received proceeds of $290 million from divestitures of businesses, primarily Imagitas, and $39 million from the sale of our former corporate headquarters building. We used cash of $392 million to acquire Borderfree and RTC, reduce debt by $255 million, fund capital investments of $89 million and pay dividends of $85 million to our stockholders and noncontrolling interests. At June 30, 2015, cash and cash equivalents were $754 million compared to $1,079 million at December 31, 2014.

As a result of the acquisition of Borderfree and the sale of Imagitas, we realigned our segment reporting. Our business continues to be organized around three distinct sets of solutions – Small and Medium Business (SMB) Solutions, Enterprise Business Solutions and Digital Commerce Solutions (DCS). There were no changes to SMB Solutions or Enterprise Business Solutions. Within DCS, we now report Software Solutions and Global Ecommerce Solutions as reportable segments. Imagitas, previously included in DCS, is now reported in Other.

Small and Medium Business Solutions revenue declined 11%, including a 4% unfavorable impact due to foreign currency translation and 2% unfavorable impact due to Divested Businesses. In North America, revenue was impacted by the continuing decline in installed meters, a shift by customers to purchase lower cost, less featured machines and clients extending existing leases rather than purchasing new equipment. Internationally, revenue declined due to difficult economic circumstances in Europe and disruptions caused by the initial implementation of our go-to-market strategy. Enterprise Business Solutions revenue decreased 5%, including a 3% unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation, primarily due to fewer sales of production mail equipment in Europe and Asia partially offset by increased volumes and operational efficiencies in Presort Services. Digital Commerce Solutions revenue was flat in the quarter after a 4% unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation. The underlying increase in revenue was due to the acquisition of Borderfree, increased shipments from our U.K. outbound cross-border service facility and higher shipping solutions revenue.

Outlook

The U.S. dollar remains strong against other currencies and continues to adversely affect our reported revenues and profitability, both from a translation perspective as well as a competitive perspective, as the cost of our international competitors’ products and solutions improves relative to our products and solutions. The current strength of the dollar relative to other currencies is also affecting demand for U.S. goods sold to consumers in other countries through our global ecommerce solutions.

Excluding the potential impacts of currency, we anticipate improved operating results in the second half of the year. Within the SMB group, we anticipate further stabilization of mail-related businesses from the benefits of our go-to-market strategy, which is now complete in most of our major markets, and the benefits of newly introduced solutions and services.

Within the Enterprise Business Solutions group, we expect continued revenue and profitability growth in Presort Services due to client expansion, higher processed mail volumes and operational efficiencies; however, within Production Mail, we anticipate that revenue growth could be challenged by the uncertain macroeconomic environment in Europe and declining services revenue.

Within the DCS group, we anticipate increased demand in Software Solutions due to new product introductions and improved sales efficiencies. Within Global Ecommerce, we anticipate revenue growth from the Borderfree business, expansion of our U.K. outbound offerings and continued demand for our shipping solutions driven by new client acquisitions and expanded services provided to existing clients.

We have authorization to repurchase up to $100 million of our common stock. We expect to begin repurchasing our common shares during the third quarter and to have fully utilized our current authorization by the end of the year.

Equipment sales

Equipment sales revenue decreased14% in the quarter to $166 million and 13% in the year-to-date period to $331 million, compared to the prior year periods. Equipment sales were unfavorably impacted 5% in the quarter and year-to-date period by foreign currency translation and 3% in the quarter and 2% in the year-to-date period due to Divested Businesses. Excluding the impacts of foreign currency and Divested Businesses, equipment sales in Europe declined 4% in the quarter and year-to-date period primarily due to difficult economic circumstances and the temporary disruptions caused by the initial implementation of our go-to-market strategy in certain European markets. Sales in North America declined 1% in the quarter and 2% in the year-to-date period primarily due to declining mail volumes and the continuing trend of clients to extend existing leases rather than purchasing new equipment. Cost of equipment sales as a percentage of revenue for the quarter and year-to-date period increased to 47.8% and 46.5%, respectively, compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to the mix of equipment sales in Europe and the timing of rate changes in certain countries.

Supplies

Supplies revenue decreased7% in the quarter to $71 million and 8% in the year-to-date period to $144 million, compared to the prior year periods. These decreases were primarily due to foreign currency translation, which reduced supplies sales by 6% in the quarter and year-to-date period and Divested Businesses, which unfavorably impacted supplies revenue by 1% in the quarter and year-to-date period. Cost of supplies as a percentage of revenue for the quarter and year-to-date period was relatively unchanged from the prior year periods at 30.6% and 30.8%, respectively, as margin improvements in North America primarily due to a greater mix of higher margin core supplies sales were offset by higher costs in our international markets.

Software

Software revenue decreased9% in the quarter to $99 million and 8% in the year-to-date period to $186 million, compared to the prior year periods. Foreign currency translation accounted for 5% and 6% of the decline in the quarter and year-to-date period, respectively. The remaining decrease in the quarter was primarily due to a 12% decline in worldwide services revenue and 3% decline in worldwide

30

licensing revenue. In the quarter, licensing revenue in North America increased 14%; however, this increase was more than offset by a 29% decrease in licensing revenue in Europe and Asia-Pacific. The remaining decrease in the year-to-date period was primarily due to a 10% decline in services revenue. In the year-to-date period, licensing revenue in North America increased 18%, but this increase was offset by a 19% decrease in licensing revenue in Europe and Asia-Pacific. Cost of software as a percentage of revenue for the quarter and year-to-date period decreased to 28.7% and 31.5% compared to the prior year periods primarily due to ongoing cost reduction initiatives to streamline the operations and greater sales efficiencies.

Rentals

Rentals revenue decreased9% in the quarter to $111 million and 8% in the year-to-date period to $225 million, compared to the prior year periods. Foreign currency translation had an unfavorable impact of 3% in the quarter and year-to-date period. Excluding the impacts of currency translation, rentals revenue declined 4% in the quarter and year-to-date period primarily due to the continuing decline in the number of installed meters and a shift by customers to purchase lower cost, less featured machines in North America and declined 1% primarily due to lower rentals revenue in France. Cost of rentals as a percentage of revenue for the quarter and year-to-date periods improved to 18.9% and 18.5%, respectively, compared to the prior year periods primarily due to cost savings and lower depreciation in North America.

Financing

Financing revenue decreased6% in the quarter to $101 million and 5% in the year-to-date period to $207 million, compared to the prior year periods. Foreign currency translation accounted for 3% of the decrease in the quarter and the year-to-date period and lower equipment sales in prior periods and a declining lease portfolio accounted for the remaining decrease in the quarter and year-to-date period. We allocate a portion of our total cost of borrowing to financing interest expense. In computing financing interest expense, we assume a 10:1 debt to equity leverage ratio and apply our overall effective interest rate to the average outstanding finance receivables. Due to lower average outstanding finance receivables, financing interest expense declined 12% and 9% in the quarter and year to date period, respectively, compared to the prior year periods, and financing interest expense as a percentage of financing revenue declined to 17.6% and 17.7% for the quarter and year-to-date period, respectively.

Support Services

Support services revenue decreased12% in both the quarter and year-to-date period to $139 million and $279 million, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. Support services revenue for the quarter and year-to-date period was unfavorably impacted by 5% from foreign currency translation and 3% from Divested Businesses. The remaining decrease in the quarter and year-to-date period was primarily due to a decline in the number of mailing machines in service, a shift to lower cost, less featured machines, and lower maintenance revenue on production mail equipment as some in-house mailers moved their mail processing to third-party service bureaus who service some of their own equipment. Cost of support services as a percentage of revenue for the quarter and year-to-date period decreased to 58.5% and 59.2%, compared to the prior year periods primarily due to expense reductions and productivity initiatives.

Business Services

Business services revenue was flat in the quarter and increased 5% in the year-to-date period to $194 million and $399 million, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. Business services revenue for the quarter and year-to-date period was impacted by the sale of Imagitas in May 2015 and the acquisition of Borderfree in June 2015. Excluding the impact of these transactions, business services revenue increased 1% and 6% in the quarter and year-to-date period, respectively. For the quarter, the increase in revenue was due to an increase in mail volumes processed in Presort Services. For the year-to-date period, business services revenue increased 3% primarily due to additional volumes of packages shipped from our U.K. outbound cross-border service facility and 2% due to increased volumes of mail processed in Presort Services. Cost of business services as a percentage of revenue increased in the quarter to 70.1% compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to the operational costs and integration investments related to the Borderfree acquisition. Cost of business services as a percentage of revenue decreased in the year-to-date period to 69.0% compared to the prior year period primarily due to higher revenue and operational efficiencies in Presort Services.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A)

SG&A expense decreased 7% in the quarter and 9% in the year-to-date period to $316 million and $630 million, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. Foreign currency translation reduced SG&A expenses by 4% in the quarter and year-to-date period. SG&A expenses for the quarter and year-to-date period also include a one-time compensation charge of $10 million for the accelerated vesting and settlement of Borderfree stock-based compensation awards. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation and the one-time compensation charge, SG&A expense decreased 5% and 6% in the quarter and year-to-date period, respectively, compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to lower costs from our focus on operational excellence and the benefits of productivity initiatives.

We determine segment EBIT by deducting the related costs and expenses attributable to the segment from segment revenue. Segment EBIT excludes interest, taxes, general corporate expenses, restructuring charges and other items, which are not allocated to a particular business segment. Management uses segment EBIT to measure profitability and performance at the segment level. Management believes segment EBIT provides a useful measure of our operating performance and underlying trends of the businesses. Segment EBIT may not be indicative of our overall consolidated performance and therefore, should be read in conjunction with our consolidated results of operations. See Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a reconciliation of segment EBIT to income from continuing operations before income taxes.

Revenue and EBIT for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 by reportable segment are presented below.

Small & Medium Business Solutions

North America Mailing

North America Mailing revenue decreased4% in the quarter and year-to-date period to $357 million and $719 million, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. Foreign currency had a 1% unfavorable impact on revenue in the quarter and the year-to-date period. Excluding currency, rentals revenue declined 5% and support services declined 6% in both the quarter and year-to-date period due to the continuing decline in installed meters and shift by customers to purchase lower cost, less featured machines. Equipment sales decreased 2% in the quarter and 5% in the year-to-date period, primarily due to clients extending existing leases rather than purchasing new equipment. Despite the decline in revenue, EBIT increased2% in the quarter and year-to-date period to $159 million and $323 million, respectively, compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to productivity improvements and ongoing cost reduction initiatives.

International Mailing

International Mailing revenue decreased28% in the quarter to $111 million and 26% in the year-to-date period to $227 million compared to the prior year periods. Revenue was unfavorably impacted by 13% in both the quarter and year-to-date period from foreign currency translation and by 7% in the quarter and 6% in the year-to-date period by Divested Businesses. Excluding the impacts of foreign currency and Divested Businesses, equipment sales decreased 15% and 14% in the quarter and year-to-date period, respectively, primarily due to temporary disruptions in the sales process caused by the implementation of our go-to-market strategy in certain European markets. Revenue was also impacted by the difficult economic circumstances in many of our international markets and the timing of revenue from postal rate changes in a number of countries. EBIT decreased47% in the quarter and 50% in the year-to-date period to $14 million and $26 million, respectively, compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to lower revenue and the timing of postal rate changes. Foreign currency translation unfavorably impacted EBIT by 12% in the quarter and 11% in the year-to-date period.

Enterprise Business Solutions

Production Mail

Production Mail revenue decreased13% in the quarter and 9% in the year-to-date period to $98 million and $197 million, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. Revenue for the quarter and year-to-date period was unfavorably impacted by 6% from foreign currency translation and by 1% from Divested Businesses. The remaining decrease was driven primarily by lower support services revenue of 6% in the quarter and 5% in the year-to-date period as some in-house mailers moved their mail processing to third-party service bureaus who service some of their own equipment. Revenue for the quarter was also impacted by a 4% decline in equipment sales as lower sales in Europe and Asia-Pacific more than offset higher sales in the United States. EBIT decreased5% in the quarter to $10 million compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to the decline in revenue; however EBIT margin improved due to favorable geographic mix and ongoing cost reduction initiatives. For the year-to-date period, EBIT increased 4% to $19 million compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to a favorable mix of higher margin equipment sales and ongoing cost reduction initiatives.

34

Presort Services

Presort Services revenue increased2% in the quarter and 3% in the year-to-date period to $114 million and $235 million, respectively, compared to the prior year periods primarily due to increased volumes of mail processed. EBIT increased5% in the quarter and 10% in the year-to-date period to $24 million and $51 million, respectively, compared to the prior year periods primarily due to the increase in revenue, improved operational productivity and lower transportation costs.

Digital Commerce Solutions

Software Solutions

Software Solutions revenue decreased9% in the quarter and 7% in the year-to-date period to $99 million and $185 million, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. Revenue was unfavorably impacted by 5% in the quarter and year-to-date periods from foreign currency translation. The remaining decrease in the quarter and year-to-date period was due to lower worldwide services revenue of 10% and 12%, respectively. Revenue for the quarter was also impacted by a decline in worldwide licensing revenue of 3%. EBIT increased64% in the quarter and 73% in the year-to-date period to $16 million and $20 million, respectively, compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to cost reductions, improved operational productivity and greater sales efficiencies.

Global Ecommerce

Global Ecommerce revenue increased14% in the quarter and 16% in the year-to-date period to $78 million and $153 million, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. Revenue from the Borderfree business accounted for 10% of the increase in the quarter and 5% of the increase in the year-to-date period. The remaining increase in revenue was primarily due to additional volumes of packages shipped from our U.K. outbound cross-border service facility and higher shipping solutions revenue due to client growth. Volumes of packages shipped from our U.S. outbound cross-border service facility continued to be pressured by a strong U.S. dollar. EBIT decreased19% in the quarter to $3 million due to the operational costs, integration investments and additional amortization expense related to the Borderfree acquisition and continued investments in our cross-border technology and services. EBIT for the year-to-date period increased15% to $11 million due to the recognition of $6 million of deferred cross-border delivery fees partially offset by the incremental costs related to the Borderfree acquisition and continued investments in our cross-border technology and services.

Other

Other revenue decreased 26% in the quarter and 8% in the year-to-date period to $25 million and $55 million, respectively, due to the sale of the Marketing Services business in May 2015.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We believe that existing cash and investments, cash generated from operations and borrowing capacity under our commercial paper program will be sufficient to support our current cash needs, including discretionary uses such as capital investments, dividends and share repurchases. Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were $800 million at June 30, 2015 and $1,111 million at December 31, 2014.We continuously review our credit profile through published credit ratings and the credit default swap market. We also monitor the creditworthiness of those banks acting as derivative counterparties, depository banks or credit providers.

Cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries were $513 million at June 30, 2015 and $470 million at December 31, 2014. Cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries are generally used to support the liquidity needs of these subsidiaries. Most of these amounts could be repatriated to the U.S. but would be subject to additional taxes. Repatriation of some foreign balances is restricted by local laws.

Cash Flow Summary

Changes in cash and cash equivalents for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were as follows:

	2015			2014			Change
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	200		$	280		$	(80	)
Net cash used in investing activities	(159		)	12			(171		)
Net cash used in financing activities	(337		)	(196		)	(141		)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents	(29		)	2			(31		)
Change in cash and cash equivalents	$	(325	)	$	98		$	(423	)

Cash flows from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015decreased$80 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to the timing of accounts receivable collections, amounts received in the prior year for transition services in connection with the sale of our Management Services business, higher payments of accounts payable and accrued liabilities primarily due to timing and higher employee-related payments and higher inventory purchases, primarily for parts and supplies in the U.S. and U.K.

Cash flows from investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased $171 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we paid $386 million to acquire Borderfree and received proceeds of $291 million from the sale of Imagitas and $39 million from the sale of our former corporate headquarters building. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we received proceeds of $101 million from the sale of our DIS business. Cash flows from investing activities also decreased due to higher capital expenditures of $17 million primarily related to the ongoing investments in a global ERP system and higher withdrawals from customer deposit accounts of $18 million, partially offset by an increase of $26 million due to the timing of investing activities.

Cash flows from financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased $141 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014 primarily due to a net reduction in debt of $254 million compared to a net reduction of $108 million in 2014. Dividends paid to our stockholders and noncontolling interests were $76 million and $9 million, respectively for both the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

Financings and Capitalization

We are a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer with the SEC, which allows us to issue debt securities, preferred stock, preference stock, common stock, purchase contracts, depositary shares, warrants and units in an expedited fashion. We have a commercial paper program that is an important source of liquidity for us and a committed credit facility of $1 billion to support our commercial paper issuances. The credit facility expires in January 2020. We have not drawn upon the credit facility.

At June 30, 2015, there was $100 million of outstanding commercial paper borrowings at an effective interest rate of 0.49%. During the second quarter of 2015, the average daily amount of commercial paper borrowings was $26 million at a weighted-average interest rate of 0.48% and the maximum amount outstanding at any time during the quarter was $120 million.There were no commercial paper borrowings during the second quarter of 2014.

During the first half of 2015, we repaid the $275 million, 5% notes that matured in March and $80 million of term loans.

During the first half of 2014, we redeemed an aggregate $500 million of the 5.75% Notes due 2017 and the 5.25% Notes due 2037 through a cash tender offer (the 2014 Tender Offer). Holders who validly tendered their notes received the principal amount, all accrued and

36

unpaid interest and a premium payment. We incurred expenses of $62 million, consisting of the call premium, the write-off of unamortized costs and bank transaction fees.

During the first half of 2014, we also issued $500 million of 4.625% fixed rate 10-year notes. Interest is payable semiannually, in March and September, and the notes mature in March 2024, but may be redeemed, at any time, in whole or in part, at our option. If the notes are redeemed prior to December 15, 2023, the redemption price will be equal to the sum of 100% of the principal amount, accrued and unpaid interest and a make-whole payment. Net proceeds of $493 million were used to fund the 2014 Tender Offer.

Dividends and Share Repurchases

Each quarter, our Board of Directors considers our recent and projected earnings and other capital needs and priorities in deciding whether to approve the payment, as well as the amount, of a dividend. There are no material restrictions on our ability to declare dividends.

We have authorization to repurchase up to $100 million of our common stock. We expect to begin repurchasing our common shares during the third quarter.

Regulatory Matters

There have been no significant changes to the regulatory matters disclosed in our 2014 Annual Report.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There were no material changes to the disclosures made in the 2014 Annual Report.

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to reasonably assure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the direction of our CEO and CFO, we evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) and internal control over financial reporting. Our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, such disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Exchange Act. In addition, no changes in internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, such internal control over financial reporting. It should be noted that any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions designed to obtain reasonable (and not absolute) assurance as to its effectiveness, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals. Notwithstanding this caution, the CEO and CFO have reasonable assurance that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2015.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Pitney Bowes Inc. and its subsidiaries (we, us, our or the Company) is a global technology company offering innovative products and solutions that enable commerce in the areas of customer information management, location intelligence, customer engagement, shipping and mailing, and global ecommerce. 

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements 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, 2014 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, 2015.

During the second quarter, we determined that at December 31, 2014, certain customer deposits in a debit position within current liabilities should have been classified as a current asset and certain customer deposits within current liabilities should have been classified as a non-current liability. Accordingly, the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2014 has been revised by increasing accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and other non-current liabilities by $23 million, $14 million and $9 million, respectively. This revision was not material to any of our previously issued financial statements. Previously issued financial statements will be revised to reflect this revision in future filings.

In the fourth quarter of 2014, we noted that certain purchases and sales of available-for-sale securities were reported net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Accordingly, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2014 has been revised by increasing purchases of available-for-sale securities and proceeds from sales/maturities of available-for-sale securities by $422 million. This revision did not have any impact on the reported net cash flow from investing activities or overall change in cash in any of our previously issued financial statements.

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, 2014 (2014 Annual Report).

New Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2015-05, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software, Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement, which provides guidance on fees paid by an entity in a cloud computing arrangement and whether an arrangement includes a license to the underlying software. This standard is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the associated debt liability. This standard is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. We do not believe this standard will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items, which removes the concept of extraordinary items, thereby eliminating the need for companies to assess transactions for extraordinary treatment. The standard retained the presentation and disclosure requirements for items that are unusual in nature and/or infrequent in occurrence. The standard is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. We do not believe this standard will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard requires companies to recognize revenue for the transfer of goods and services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration the company expects to receive in exchange for those goods and services. The standard will also result in enhanced disclosures about revenue. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date. This standard is now effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The standard can be adopted either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment. Companies are permitted to adopt the standard as early as the original public entity effective date (fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2016). Early adoption prior to that date is prohibited. We are currently assessing the impact this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements and Derivative Instruments

Fair Value Measurements and Derivative Instruments

We measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity-specific measure. An entity is required to classify certain assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on the following fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2 – Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, may be derived from internally developed methodologies based on management’s best estimate of fair value and that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability.

The following tables show, by level within the fair value hierarchy, our financial assets and liabilities that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect its placement within the fair value hierarchy.

Investment Securities

The valuation of investment securities is based on the market approach using inputs that are observable, or can be corroborated by observable data, in an active marketplace. The following information relates to our classification into the fair value hierarchy:

• Money market funds / commercial paper: Money market funds typically invest in government securities, certificates of deposit, commercial paper and other highly liquid, low-risk securities. Money market funds are principally used for overnight deposits and are classified as Level 1 when unadjusted quoted prices in active markets are available and as Level 2 when they are not actively traded on an exchange. Direct investments in commercial paper are not listed on an exchange in an active market and are classified as Level 2.

• Equity securities: Equity securities are comprised of mutual funds investing in U.S. and foreign common stock. These mutual funds are classified as Level 2 as they are not separately listed on an exchange.

• Commingled fixed income securities: Mutual funds that invest in a variety of fixed income securities including securities of the U.S. government and its agencies, corporate debt, mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities. The value of the funds is based on the market value of the underlying investments owned by each fund, minus its liabilities, divided by the number of shares outstanding, as reported by the fund manager. These commingled funds are not listed on an exchange in an active market and are classified as Level 2.

• U.S. Government, federal agencies and municipalities: Securities are classified as Level 1 where active, high volume trades for identical securities exist. Valuation adjustments are not applied to these securities. Securities valued using quoted market prices for similar securities or benchmarking model derived prices to quoted market prices and trade data for identical or comparable securities are classified as Level 2.

• Corporate notes and bonds: Corporate notes and bonds are valued using recently executed transactions, market price quotations where observable, or bond spreads. The spread data used are for the same maturity as the security. These securities are classified as Level 2.

• Mortgage-backed / asset-backed securities: These securities are valued based on external pricing indices. When external index pricing is not observable, these securities are valued based on external price/spread data. These securities are classified as Level 2.

Available-For-Sale Securities

Certain investment securities are classified as available-for-sale and recorded at fair value in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and other assets depending on the type of investment and maturity. Unrealized holding gains and losses are recorded, net of tax, in accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL).

Available-for-sale securities at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 consisted of the following:

	June 30, 2015
	Amortized cost		Gross unrealized gains		Gross unrealized losses			Estimated fair value
U.S. Government, federal agencies and municipalities	$	131,031	$	1,927	$	(1,244	)	$	131,714
Corporate notes and bonds	65,396		1,112		(668		)	65,840
Mortgage-backed / asset-backed securities	165,095		2,360		(1,129		)	166,326
Total	$	361,522	$	5,399	$	(3,041	)	$	363,880

	December 31, 2014
	Amortized cost		Gross unrealized gains		Gross unrealized losses			Estimated fair value
U.S. Government, federal agencies and municipalities	$	135,839	$	2,905	$	(764	)	$	137,980
Corporate notes and bonds	66,170		1,569		(291		)	67,448
Mortgage-backed / asset-backed securities	155,330		2,362		(1,078		)	156,614
Total	$	357,339	$	6,836	$	(2,133	)	$	362,042

At June 30, 2015, investment securities that were in a loss position for 12 or more continuous months had aggregate unrealized holding losses of $1 million and an estimated fair value of $33 million, and investment securities that were in a loss position for less than 12 continuous months had aggregate unrealized holding losses of $2 million and an estimated fair value of $95 million.

At December 31, 2014, investment securities that were in a loss position for 12 or more continuous months had aggregate unrealized holding losses of $1 million and an estimated fair value of $42 million, and investment securities that were in a loss position for less than 12 continuous months had aggregate unrealized holding losses of $1 million and an estimated fair value of $88 million.

We have not recognized an other-than-temporary impairment on any of the investment securities in an unrealized loss position because we do not intend to sell these securities, it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell these securities before recovery of the unrealized losses and we expect to receive the contractual principal and interest on these investment securities.

Scheduled maturities of available-for-sale securities at June 30, 2015 were as follows:

	Amortized cost		Estimated fair value
Within 1 year	$	64,668	$	64,716
After 1 year through 5 years	63,180		64,229
After 5 years through 10 years	57,909		58,599
After 10 years	175,765		176,336
Total	$	361,522	$	363,880

The expected payments on mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may not coincide with their contractual maturities as borrowers have the right to prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalties.

We have not experienced any significant write-offs in our investment portfolio. The majority of our mortgage-backed securities are either guaranteed or supported by the U.S. Government. We have no investments in inactive markets that would warrant a possible change in our pricing methods or classification within the fair value hierarchy. Further, we have no investments in auction rate securities.

Derivative Instruments

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. We limit these risks by following established risk management policies and procedures, including the use of derivatives. We use derivative instruments to limit the effects of exchange rate fluctuations on financial results and manage the related cost of debt. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. We record our derivative instruments at fair value and the accounting for changes in the fair value depends on the intended use of the derivative, the resulting designation and the effectiveness of the instrument in offsetting the risk exposure it is designed to hedge.

The valuation of foreign exchange derivatives is based on the market approach using observable market inputs, such as foreign currency spot and forward rates and yield curves. As required by the fair value measurements guidance, we also incorporate counterparty credit risk and our credit risk into the fair value measurement of our derivative assets and liabilities, respectively. We derive credit risk from observable data in the credit default swap market. We have not seen a material change in the creditworthiness of those banks acting as derivative counterparties.

The fair value of derivative instruments at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was as follows:

Designation of Derivatives	Balance Sheet Location	June 30, 2015			December 31, 2014
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments
Foreign exchange contracts	Other current assets and prepayments	$	518		$	762
	Accounts payable and accrued liabilities:	(415		)	—
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments
Foreign exchange contracts	Other current assets and prepayments	320			624
	Accounts payable and accrued liabilities:	(4,115		)	(2,988		)
	Total derivative assets	$	838		$	1,386
	Total derivative liabilities	(4,530		)	(2,988		)
	Total net derivative liabilities	$	(3,692	)	$	(1,602	)

Foreign Exchange Contracts

We enter into foreign exchange contracts to mitigate the currency risk associated with the anticipated purchase of inventory between affiliates and from third parties. These contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. The effective portion of the gain or loss on cash flow hedges is included in AOCL in the period that the change in fair value occurs and is reclassified to earnings in the period that the hedged item is recorded in earnings. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had outstanding contracts associated with these anticipated transactions with notional amounts of $18 million.

The amounts included in AOCL at June 30, 2015 will be recognized in earnings within the next 12 months. No amount of ineffectiveness was recorded in earnings for these designated cash flow hedges.

We also enter into foreign exchange contracts to minimize the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on short-term intercompany loans and related interest that are denominated in a foreign currency. The revaluation of the intercompany loans and interest and the mark-to-market adjustment on the derivatives are both recorded in earnings. All outstanding contracts at June 30, 2015 mature within 12 months.

Credit-Risk-Related Contingent Features

Certain derivative instruments contain credit-risk-related contingent features that would require us to post collateral based on a combination of our long-term senior unsecured debt ratings and the net fair value of our derivatives. At June 30, 2015, the maximum amount of collateral that we would have been required to post had the credit-risk-related contingent features been triggered was $4 million.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, investment securities, accounts receivable, loan receivables, derivative instruments, accounts payable and debt. The carrying value for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, loans receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

The fair value of our debt is estimated based on recently executed transactions and market price quotations. These inputs used to determine the fair value of our debt were classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value and estimated fair value of our debt at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were as follows:

	June 30, 2015		December 31, 2014
Carrying value	$	2,994,190	$	3,252,006
Fair value	$	3,140,259	$	3,440,383

The majority of the remaining restructuring reserves are expected to be paid over the next 12 to 24 months; however, due to certain international labor laws and long-term lease agreements, some payments will extend beyond 24 months. We expect to fund these payments from cash flows from operations.

Asset impairment

During the second quarter of 2015, we sold our world headquarters building for $39 million and recorded a loss on the sale of $5 million. The loss was recognized in restructuring charges and asset impairments, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

Borderfree Inc.

On June 10, 2015, we acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Borderfree. Borderfree provides cross-border ecommerce solutions through a proprietary technology and services platform that enables retailers to transact with consumers around the world. Borderfree is reported within our Global Ecommerce segment (see Note 2). The purchase price was $386 million, net of $88 million of cash acquired. In addition, we also paid $10 million for the accelerated vesting and settlement of Borderfree stock-based compensation awards and $8 million of transaction costs. The $10 million of expense related to Borderfree stock-based compensation awards was recognized as selling, general and administrative expenses and the $8 million of transaction costs was recognized within other (income) expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was as follows:

Accounts receivable	$	16,964
Fixed assets	7,293
Goodwill	285,727
Intangible assets	156,800
Accounts payable and other current liabilities	(35,117		)
Deferred taxes, net	(46,819		)
Other assets and liabilities, net	1,412
	$	386,260

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is primarily attributable to expected growth opportunities, synergies and other benefits that we believe will result from combining the operations of Borderfree with our operations. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

Intangible assets acquired consist of the following:

	Value		Amortization period
Customer Relationships	$	135,500	10 years
Developed Technology	12,600		5 years
Trade Names	8,700		5 years
	$	156,800

The allocation of the purchase price to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is preliminary and subject to further adjustments as we obtain additional information during the measurement period, which will not exceed 12 months from the acquisition date. Adjustments in the purchase price allocation may require a recasting of the amounts allocated to goodwill retroactive to the period in which the acquisition occurred.

The results of operations of Borderfree are included in our consolidated results from the date of acquisition. Our consolidated operating results for the three and six months ended June 30,2015 include revenue of $7 million. On a supplemental pro forma basis, had we acquired Borderfree on January 1, 2014, our revenues would have been higher by $22 million and $31 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $47 million and $57 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The impact on our earnings would not have been material.

Real Time Content, Inc.

On May 1, 2015, we acquired Real Time Content, Inc. (RTC) for $6 million, net of cash acquired. RTC provides technology that enables clients to provide personalized interactive video communications to their customers. RTC is reported within our Software Solutions segment.

Divestiture

On May 29, 2015, we sold Imagitas, for net proceeds of $291 million and recognized a pre-tax gain of $109 million, which was reported within other (income) expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, we are routinely defendants in, or party to a number of pending and threatened legal actions. These may involve litigation by or against us relating to, among other things, contractual rights under vendor, insurance or other contracts; intellectual property or patent rights; equipment, service, payment or other disputes with clients; or disputes with employees. Some of these actions may be brought as a purported class action on behalf of a purported class of employees, customers or others. In management's opinion, the potential liability, if any, that may result from these actions, either individually or collectively, is not reasonably expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, as litigation is inherently unpredictable, there can be no assurances in this regard.

In December 2013, we received a Civil Investigative Demand (CID) from the Department of Justice (DOJ) pursuant to the False Claims Act requesting documents and information relating to compliance with certain postal regulatory requirements in our Presort Services business. We provided information to the DOJ in response to letter requests and the CID. Our ongoing discussions with the DOJ regarding a resolution of this matter have now resulted in a settlement in principle. As a result, we accrued $7 million, net of estimated recoveries. The charge is recorded in other (income) expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Receivables [Abstract]

Finance Receivables

Finance receivables are comprised of sales-type lease receivables and unsecured revolving loan receivables. Sales-type lease receivables are generally due in monthly, quarterly or semi-annual installments over periods ranging from three to five years. Loan receivables arise primarily from financing services offered to our customers for postage and supplies. Loan receivables are generally due each month; however, customers may rollover outstanding balances. Interest is recognized on loan receivables using the effective interest method and related annual fees are initially deferred and recognized ratably over the annual period covered. Customer acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.

Finance receivables at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 consisted of the following:

Allowance for Credit Losses and Aging of Receivables

We estimate our finance receivable risks and provide an allowance for credit losses accordingly. We evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses based on historical loss experience, the nature and volume of our portfolios, adverse situations that may affect a client's ability to pay, prevailing economic conditions and our ability to manage the collateral and make adjustments to the allowance as necessary. This evaluation is inherently subjective and actual results may differ significantly from estimated reserves.

We establish credit approval limits based on the credit quality of the client and the type of equipment financed. Our policy is to discontinue revenue recognition for lease receivables that are more than 120 days past due and for unsecured loan receivables that are more than 90 days past due. We resume revenue recognition when payments reduce the account balance aging to 60 days or less past due. Finance receivables deemed uncollectible are written off against the allowance after all collection efforts have been exhausted and management deems the account to be uncollectible. We believe that our finance receivable credit risk is limited because of our large number of clients, small account balances for most of our clients, and geographic and industry diversification.

Activity in the allowance for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was as follows:

Credit Quality

The extension of credit and management of credit lines to new and existing clients uses a combination of an automated credit score, where available, and a detailed manual review of the client’s financial condition and, when applicable, payment history. Once credit is granted, the payment performance of the client is managed through automated collections processes and is supplemented with direct follow up should an account become delinquent. We have robust automated collections and extensive portfolio management processes. The portfolio management processes ensure that our global strategy is executed, collection resources are allocated appropriately and enhanced tools and processes are implemented as needed.

We use a third party to score the majority of the North America portfolio on a quarterly basis using a commercial credit score. We do not use a third party to score our international portfolio because the cost to do so is prohibitive, given that it is a localized process and there is no single credit score model that covers all countries.

The table below shows the North America portfolio at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 by relative risk class (low, medium, high) based on the relative scores of the accounts within each class. The relative scores are determined based on a number of factors, including the company type, ownership structure, payment history and financial information. A fourth class is shown for accounts that are not scored. Absence of a score is not indicative of the credit quality of the account. The degree of risk, as defined by the third party, refers to the relative risk that an account in the next 12 month period may become delinquent.

• Low risk accounts are companies with very good credit scores and are considered to approximate the top 30% of all commercial borrowers.

• Medium risk accounts are companies with average to good credit scores and are considered to approximate the middle 40% of all commercial borrowers.

• High risk accounts are companies with poor credit scores, are delinquent or are at risk of becoming delinquent and are considered to approximate the bottom 30% of all commercial borrowers.

Amortization expense was $8 million and $6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively and $16 million and $12 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

In 2015, we acquired certain intangible assets in connection with the acquisitions of Borderfree (see Note 3). The change in supplier relationships is the result of the sale of Imagitas.

Future amortization expense for intangible assets as of June 30, 2015 was as follows:

Remaining for year ending December 31, 2015	$	22,328
Year ending December 31, 2016	39,995
Year ending December 31, 2017	29,077
Year ending December 31, 2018	26,470
Year ending December 31, 2019	23,415
Thereafter	82,035
Total	$	223,320

Actual amortization expense may differ from the amounts above due to, among other things, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, impairments, acquisitions and accelerated amortization.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was 25.0% and 33.5%, respectively, and the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was 29.8% and 28.2%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30,2015 includes a $20 million benefit resulting from the disposition of Imagitas. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2015 also includes a $3 million charge from the write-off of deferred tax assets associated with the expiration of out-of-the-money vested stock options and the vesting of restricted stock units. The effective tax rate for six months ended June 30, 2014 includes a benefit of $6 million from the resolution of tax examinations and incremental tax benefit associated with the early extinguishment of debt.

As is the case with other large corporations, our tax returns are examined each year by tax authorities in the U.S., other countries and local jurisdictions in which we have operations. The Internal Revenue Service examinations of tax years prior to 2011 are closed to audit. Other than the pending application of legal principles to specific issues arising in earlier years, only post-2009 Canadian tax years are subject to examination. Other significant tax filings subject to examination include various post-2004 U.S. state and local, post-2007 German, and post-2010 French and U.K. tax filings. We have other less significant tax filings currently under examination or subject to examination.

New Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2015-05, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software, Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement, which provides guidance on fees paid by an entity in a cloud computing arrangement and whether an arrangement includes a license to the underlying software. This standard is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the associated debt liability. This standard is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. We do not believe this standard will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items, which removes the concept of extraordinary items, thereby eliminating the need for companies to assess transactions for extraordinary treatment. The standard retained the presentation and disclosure requirements for items that are unusual in nature and/or infrequent in occurrence. The standard is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. We do not believe this standard will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard requires companies to recognize revenue for the transfer of goods and services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration the company expects to receive in exchange for those goods and services. The standard will also result in enhanced disclosures about revenue. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date. This standard is now effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The standard can be adopted either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment. Companies are permitted to adopt the standard as early as the original public entity effective date (fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2016). Early adoption prior to that date is prohibited. We are currently assessing the impact this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Information

Segment Information

As a result of the acquisition of Borderfree Inc. (Borderfree) and the sale of Imagitas (see Note 3), we realigned our segment reporting to conform to the way we now manage our segments and recast prior period amounts to conform to the current year presentation. Our business continues to be organized around three distinct sets of solutions – Small and Medium Business (SMB) Solutions, Enterprise Business Solutions and Digital Commerce Solutions (DCS). Under the new segment reporting, there are no changes to SMB Solutions or Enterprise Business Solutions; however, within DCS, we now report Software Solutions and Global Ecommerce Solutions as reportable segments. Other is comprised of our Marketing Services business, Imagitas, which was sold in May 2015. Imagitas was previously reported in DCS. The principal products and services of each of our reportable segments are as follows:

Small & Medium Business Solutions:

North America Mailing: Includes the revenue and related expenses from the sale, rental, financing and servicing of mailing equipment and supplies for small and medium businesses to efficiently create mail and evidence postage in the U.S. and Canada.

International Mailing: Includes the revenue and related expenses from the sale, rental, financing and servicing of mailing equipment and supplies for small and medium businesses to efficiently create mail and evidence postage in areas outside the U.S. and Canada.

Enterprise Business Solutions:

Production Mail: Includes the worldwide revenue and related expenses from the sale of production mail inserting and sortation equipment, high-speed production print systems, supplies and related support services to large enterprise clients to process inbound and outbound mail.

Presort Services: Includes revenue and related expenses from presort mail services for our large enterprise clients to qualify large mail volumes for postal worksharing discounts.

Digital Commerce Solutions:

Software Solutions: Includes the worldwide revenue and related expenses from the sale of non-equipment-based mailing, customer information management, location intelligence and customer engagement solutions and related support services.

Global Ecommerce Solutions: Includes the worldwide revenue and related expenses from global ecommerce and shipping solutions.

We determine segment earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) by deducting the related costs and expenses attributable to the segment from segment revenue. Segment EBIT excludes interest, taxes, general corporate expenses, restructuring charges and other items, which are not allocated to a particular business segment. Management uses segment EBIT to measure profitability and performance at the segment level. Management believes segment EBIT provides a useful measure of our operating performance and underlying trends of the businesses. Segment EBIT may not be indicative of our overall consolidated performance and therefore, should be read in conjunction with our consolidated results of operations.

Revenue and EBIT by business segment is presented below:
