Mail Services revenue benefited from increased transactions associated with the Company’s ecommerce solutions for cross-border package delivery, as well as growth in presort volumes for both Standard mail and First Class mail. EBIT margin was impacted by the ongoing investments and costs related to building out the infrastructure of the Company’s ecommerce offering. Prior year EBIT included a $4 million insurance reimbursement related to the fire at the Company’s Dallas presort facility, which adversely impacted year-over-year comparisons.
