  Pitney Bowes Announces Third Quarter 2019 Financial Results

STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--November 5, 2019--Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE: PBI), a global technology company that provides commerce solutions in the areas of ecommerce, shipping, mailing, data and financial services today announced its financial results for the third quarter 2019.

Quarterly Results:

  • Revenue of $790 million, an increase of 4 percent; an increase of 6 percent when adjusted for both the impact of currency and market exits
  • GAAP EPS loss of $0.02; Adjusted EPS of $0.24
  • GAAP EPS includes a non-cash $0.16 per share impairment charge related to capitalized software costs incurred in the development of a new enterprise business platform in certain international markets
  • GAAP cash from operations of $96 million; free cash flow of $69 million

Transaction signed and Debt Management:

  • On August 26, 2019, the Company announced it entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Software Solutions business to Syncsort for $700 million in cash.
  • The Company is using the majority of the net proceeds to pay down near-term debt maturities.
  • On September 27, 2019, the Company repaid the balance of its $200 million September 2020 term loan.
  • In November 2019, the Company replaced its existing revolving credit facility with a new revolving credit facility for $500 million and secured a new five-year Term Loan A for $400 million.
  • In November 2019, the Company repaid the $150 million term loan due in November 2019 and the balance of the $300 million term loan due in December 2020.

“We made solid progress transforming our company in the third quarter,” said Marc B. Lautenbach. “Revenue grew six percent, when adjusted for both the impact of currency and market exits, driven by strong growth in Commerce Services and improved performance in SendTech. This was the strongest revenue performance for the company in some time and is affirmation that the capabilities we are building are in demand. Six percent revenue growth puts us on track to grow for the year, which will be our third consecutive year of growth. At the same time we continued to invest in our parcel network to accommodate our substantial growth in shipping volumes.”

Lautenbach added: “In August we announced the sale of our Software business to Syncsort. The transaction is anticipated to close by the end of the year, and we expect to use the majority of the net proceeds to pay down debt. With the conclusion of the sale, Pitney Bowes will move forward as a more streamlined technology company focusing on shipping, mailing, and financial services, which are all markets where we have competitive advantage.

“In addition to the debt we will pay down with the net proceeds, we recently also repaid term loans, secured a new Term Loan A and replaced our revolving credit facility. These actions in aggregate strengthen our balance sheet,” said Lautenbach.

Third Quarter 2019 Results

Revenue totaled $790 million, which was an increase of 4 percent versus prior year. Revenue increased 6 percent when adjusted for both the impact of currency and the January 2019 sale of direct operations in 6 smaller European markets (market exits).

Commerce Services revenue grew 15 percent. Sending Technology Solutions (SendTech Solutions) revenue declined 6 percent as reported and 5 percent when adjusted for the impact of currency. SendTech Solutions revenue declined 3 percent when adjusted for both the impact of currency and market exits.

GAAP earnings per diluted share (GAAP EPS) was a loss of $0.02, which includes a non-cash $0.16 per share impairment charge related to capitalized software costs incurred in the development of a new enterprise business platform in certain international markets.

Adjusted earnings per diluted share (Adjusted EPS) were $0.24.

GAAP and adjusted EPS included a net benefit of $0.13 related to the release of a foreign deferred tax asset valuation allowance.

The Company’s earnings per share results for the third quarter are summarized in the table below:

GAAP Cash from Operations and Free Cash Flow Results

GAAP cash from operations during the quarter was $96 million and free cash flow was $69 million. Compared to prior year, the decline in free cash flow was driven by lower net income and higher capital expenditures, partly offset by higher reserve account deposits.

During the quarter, the Company reduced debt by $175 million, paid $9 million in dividends to its common shareholders and repurchased $5 million of its shares.

Debt and Credit Facility Management

In September 2019, the Company repaid the balance of its $200 million September 2020 term loan. In November 2019, the Company secured a new five-year Term Loan A for $400 million and replaced its revolving credit facility. The new revolving credit facility is a $500 million five-year secured facility. In November, the Company also repaid the $150 million term loan due in November 2019 and the balance of the $300 million term loan due in December 2020. The Company is using the majority of the net proceeds from the sale of its Software Solutions business to pay down near-term debt maturities.

Status of Sale of Software Solutions

On August 26, 2019, the Company announced that it entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Software Solutions business to Syncsort for $700 million in cash. As a result of the sale, the Software Solutions business has been recorded as a discontinued operation and prior period amounts have been recast to exclude Software Solution’s results from continuing operations. The transaction is expected to close before the end of the calendar year, pending regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

Third Quarter 2019 Business Segment Reporting

Effective in the third quarter, the Company revised its segment reporting to combine the North America Mailing and International Mailing segments into the Sending Technology Solutions segment to reflect how it manages these operations and the products and services it provides to its clients.

The Commerce Services group includes the Global Ecommerce and Presort Services segments. Global Ecommerce facilitates domestic retail and ecommerce shipping solutions, including fulfillment and returns, and global cross-border ecommerce transactions. Presort Services provides sortation services to qualify large volumes of First Class Mail, Marketing Mail and Bound and Packet Mail (Marketing Mail Flats and Bound Printed Matter) for postal workshare discounts.


The Sending Technology Solutions segment offers physical and digital mailing and shipping technology solutions, financing, services, supplies and other applications for small and medium businesses to help simplify and save on the sending, tracking and receiving of letters, parcels and flats.

The results for each segment within the group may not equal the subtotals for the group due to rounding.

Revenue increased from prior year across all platforms. The major volume driver was the domestic parcel platform. EBIT and EBITDA margins were impacted by investments in market growth opportunities, including engineering, facilities and marketing programs. Compared to prior year, the margin decline was also driven by a shift in the mix of business to faster growing, but lower-margin services along with additional fulfillment costs in order to meet client service level agreements.

Presort Services

Revenue growth was driven by volume growth across all mail classes. Gross margin increased versus prior quarter and prior year driven by lower labor cost per unit partially offset by lower revenue per piece. EBIT and EBITDA margins increased from prior quarter and were relatively flat compared to prior year.

SendTech Solutions

Reported revenue was impacted by the previously announced market exits. Excluding the effect from currency and market exits, the revenue decline was driven by lower support services, financing and supplies revenue partially offset by higher equipment sales and business services. EBIT and EBITDA margins increased versus prior year driven by lower expenses partially offset by higher tariff costs.

2019 Guidance

On October 12, 2019, the Company experienced a ransomware attack. At this point, virtually all operations are up and running and no data has been compromised. The Company has insurance to cover these types of events and expects a significant portion of any profit impact, including the profit associated with any loss of revenue due to the ransomware attack, to ultimately be covered by insurance.

Given this ransomware attack is a unique event, the majority of the incremental costs and subsequent insurance recoveries will be excluded from the Company’s adjusted EPS.

As a result, the Company is reaffirming its adjusted EPS and free cash flow annual guidance. The Company expects the impact of the ransomware attack to full year revenue could be approximately one-half percent.

  • Revenue, on a constant currency basis is expected to be in the range of 1 percent to 2 percent growth when compared to 2018. This range does not contemplate any impact of the ransomware attack, which could be approximately one-half percent.
  • Adjusted EPS from continuing operations to be in the range of $0.65 to $0.75.
  • Free cash flow to be in the range of $175 million to $205 million.

This guidance excludes any unusual items that may occur or additional portfolio or restructuring actions, not specifically identified, as the Company implements plans to further streamline its operations and reduce costs. Revenue guidance is provided on a constant currency basis. Additionally, the Company cannot provide GAAP EPS and GAAP cash from operations guidance due to the uncertainty of future potential restructurings, goodwill and asset write-downs, unusual tax settlements or payments, special contributions to its pension funds, acquisitions, divestitures and other potential adjustments, which could, individually or in the aggregate, have a material impact on the Company’s performance.

Disclosure Using Social Media

Pitney Bowes announces material information to its investors using SEC filings, press releases, public conference calls and webcasts. The Company already makes frequent use of its investor relations website to disseminate material information, as well as social media platforms, including Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. Investors, buy and sell-side analysts, media and influencers should note that the Company plans to continue to announce material financial information using the Pitney Bowes investor relations website, SEC filings, and press releases, public conference calls and webcasts. Pitney Bowes is notifying investors, media and others interested in the Company that in the future, the Company may choose to communicate material information through its social media channels, or it is possible that information it discloses through social media channels may be deemed to be material. Therefore, Pitney Bowes encourages investors, the media, and others interested in the Company to review the information posted on the Company’s investor relations site (https://www.investorrelations.pitneybowes.com/), Twitter (https://twitter.com/PBnews and https://twitter.com/PitneyBowes), Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/PitneyBowes/), and LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/company/pitney-bowes/). The Company may communicate on social media platforms not listed here as well as create new accounts in the future. Any updates to the list of social media channels Pitney Bowes will use to announce material information will be posted on the Investor Relations page.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

The Company's financial results are reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP); however, in its disclosures the Company uses certain non-GAAP measures, such as adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted earnings per share (EPS), revenue growth on a constant currency basis and free cash flow.

The Company reports measures such as adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS to exclude the impact of special items like restructuring charges, tax adjustments, goodwill and asset write-downs, and costs related to dispositions and acquisitions. While these are actual Company expenses, they can mask underlying trends associated with its business. Such items are often inconsistent in amount and frequency and as such, the adjustments allow an investor greater insight into the current underlying operating trends of the business.

In addition, revenue growth is presented on a constant currency basis to exclude the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates since the prior period under comparison. Constant currency measures are intended to help investors better understand the underlying operational performance of the business excluding the impacts of shifts in currency exchange rates over the period. Constant currency is calculated by converting our current quarter reported results using the prior year’s exchange rate for the comparable quarter. In addition, the Company reported the comparison of revenue excluding the impact of currency and market exits to prior year, which excludes the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates since the prior period and also excludes the revenues associated with the recent market exits in several smaller markets. This comparison allows an investor insight into the underlying revenue performance of the business and true operational performance from a comparable basis to prior period. A reconciliation of reported revenue to constant currency revenue, as well as reported revenue to “revenue excluding the impact of currency and market exits” can be found in the Company’s attached financial schedules.


The Company reports free cash flow in order to provide investors insight into the amount of cash that management could have available for other discretionary uses. Free cash flow adjusts GAAP cash from operations for capital expenditures, restructuring payments, unusual tax settlements, special contributions to the Company’s pension fund and cash used for other special items. A reconciliation of GAAP cash from operations to free cash flow can be found in the Company’s attached financial schedules.

Segment EBIT is the primary measure of profitability and operational performance at the segment level. Segment EBIT is determined by deducting from segment revenue the related costs and expenses attributable to the segment. Segment EBIT excludes interest, taxes, general corporate expenses not allocated to a particular business segment, restructuring charges and goodwill and asset impairments, which are recognized on a consolidated basis. The Company has also included segment EBITDA as a useful measure for profitability and operational performance, and an additional way to look at the economics of the segments, especially in light of some of the Company’s more recent, larger acquisitions. Segment EBITDA further excludes depreciation and amortization expense for the segment. A reconciliation of segment EBIT and EBITDA to net income can be found in the attached financial schedules.

Pitney Bowes has provided a quantitative reconciliation to GAAP in supplemental schedules. This information can be found at the Company's web site www.pb.com/investorrelations.
