Our performance obligations for revenue from services and products are as follows:
Services revenue includes revenues from digital shipping and mailing technology solutions and the maintenance, professional and subscription services related to those solutions, and mail processing services. Revenues for mail processing services and cross-border solutions are recognized over time using an output method based on the number of parcels or mail pieces either processed or delivered, depending on the service type, since that measure best depicts the value of goods and services transferred to the client over the contract period. Contract terms for these services initially range from one to five years and contain annual renewal options. Revenue for shipping subscription solutions is recognized ratably over the contract period as the client obtains equal benefit from these services through the period. Revenue for maintenance and subscription services is recognized ratably over the contract period, which ranges from one to five years, and revenue for professional services is recognized when services are provided.
Products revenue generally includes the sale of mailing and shipping equipment and related supplies. We recognize revenue upon delivery for self-install equipment and supplies and upon acceptance or installation for other equipment.
Financing and other revenue includes revenue from sales-type and operating leases, finance income, late fees and investment income, gains and losses at the Pitney Bowes Bank.
