STAMFORD, Conn. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — October 29, 2015 — Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE: PBI), a global technology company that provides products and solutions that power commerce, today reported financial results for the third quarter 2015.

Quarterly Financial Results:

• Revenue of $870 million, a decline of 4 percent on a constant currency basis and 8 percent as reported.
• Adjusted EPS of $0.43; GAAP EPS of $0.44. EPS includes a $0.02 per share negative impact of foreign exchange during the quarter.
• SG&A of $309 million, a decline of $33 million versus prior year.
• Gross Margin of 58.8 percent, improvement of 150 basis points versus prior year.
• Free cash flow of $131 million; GAAP cash from operations of $150 million.
• Repurchased $100 million of stock or 4.9 million shares.
• Company reaffirms adjusted EPS, GAAP EPS and free cash flow guidance; updates revenue guidance.

Strategic Updates:

• As announced in September, the Board of Directors authorized an incremental $100 million share repurchase.
• The Company launched its initial implementation of the new ERP platform in Canada in early October and remains on schedule to achieve the targeted savings and efficiencies associated with this program.
• The Company introduced several new products and solutions, including:
  • SMB group launched the Relay™ Multi-Channel Communications Suite globally;
  • Production Mail expanded its offerings in print, insertion and sortation equipment through its new AcceleJet™, Epic™ and TrueSort™ products;
  • Software expanded its offerings with the EngageOne^® Video solution, which helps enterprises up-sell and cross-sell through personalized videos.
• The Company made significant progress integrating its Borderfree acquisition while also achieving initial cost synergies.

"We made solid progress on our strategic plan in the third quarter," said Marc B. Lautenbach, President and CEO, Pitney Bowes. “Our North America SMB business continued to stabilize with equipment sales growing for the quarter. We improved our operational excellence with increased margins and very solid cash flow performance in the quarter. Our ERP project, which promises to unlock substantial value in our Company, got off to a very good start in early October with a successful launch in Canada. Finally, although our Ecommerce business continued to face currency headwinds, the integration of Borderfree remains on track. Overall, Digital Commerce grew 10 percent on a constant currency basis and I remain very optimistic about the long-term prospects of this business."

THIRD QUARTER 2015 - FINANCIAL RESULTS

Revenue was $870 million, a decline of 4 percent on a constant currency basis and 8 percent on a reported basis when compared to prior year.

Digital Commerce Solutions revenue grew 10 percent on a constant currency basis and 6 percent on a reported basis. Enterprise Business Solutions revenue declined 1 percent on a constant currency basis and 3 percent on a reported basis. SMB Solutions revenue declined 3 percent on a constant currency basis and 8 percent on a reported basis.

Adjusted earnings per diluted share were $0.43. Prior year adjusted earnings per diluted share were $0.51 and included $0.08 per share of tax benefits. Excluding the tax benefits in the prior year, adjusted earnings per diluted share this quarter would have been flat to the prior year.

Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) earnings per diluted share were $0.44 and included a $0.01 per share net tax benefit related to the Company’s previous divestiture of an investment and other acquisition and disposition related transactions.

Earnings per share this quarter were reduced by $0.02 per share due to the impacts of foreign exchange. As expected, earnings per share this quarter were also impacted by the loss of three months of Imagitas earnings, which were estimated to be approximately $0.03 per share, and $0.01 per share of expense for three months of amortization of intangibles related to Borderfree.

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

			Third Quarter *
			2015				2014
Adjusted EPS from continuing operations			$	0.43			$	0.51
Net tax benefit from transactions			$	0.01				-
Investment divestiture				-			$	0.05
Restructuring charges				-				($0.01	)
GAAP EPS from continuing operations			$	0.44			$	0.55
Discontinued operations - income				-			$	0.10
GAAP EPS			$	0.44			$	0.65
* The sum of the earnings per share may not equal the totals above due to rounding

Free cash flow during the quarter was $131 million and cash provided by operating activities was $150 million on a GAAP basis. In comparison to the prior year, third quarter free cash flow was higher primarily due to lower working capital requirements and lower capital expenditures due to less of an investment in the Company’s new ERP platform. During the quarter, the Company used cash to pay $38 million in dividends to its common shareholders, repurchase $100 million worth of its shares and make $15 million in restructuring payments.

* Excludes the impacts of currency and the divested revenues in Europe related to the transition to a dealer sales network in six smaller European markets completed in the third quarter of 2014.

North America Mailing

North America Mailing revenue experienced the lowest rate of decline in 6 quarters, benefiting from 2 percent growth in equipment sales as productivity continues to improve. Recurring revenue stream trends also continued to be in-line with prior quarters. EBIT margin continued to improve versus the prior year due to the mix of business, organizational streamlining and on-going cost reduction initiatives.

International Mailing

During the quarter, currency adversely affected revenue comparisons by 12 percentage points. For comparative purposes, revenue declined 7 percent when adjusted for the impacts of both currency and the reduction in revenue resulting from the exit of direct operations in some European countries completed in the third quarter of 2014.

The rate of decline in revenue is stabilizing in most of the major markets where the go-to-market resource shift has been completed. The Company has been focused on the transition and training of the new sales organization in France, which is expected to result in improved productivity. EBIT margin declined versus the prior year due to lower mail finishing equipment sales, the impact of currency on costs and the temporary incremental costs related to the transition of the sales organization in France.

Production Mail

While inserting equipment sales grew versus prior year, there were no production print installations during the quarter, which adversely impacted revenue. Revenue also declined partially due to lower support services. EBIT margin improved versus the prior year due to the mix of higher-margin inserting equipment sales as well as on-going cost reduction initiatives.

Presort Services

Revenue benefited from higher volumes of First Class and Standard mail processed versus the prior year. EBIT margin improved versus the prior year due to the revenue growth and on-going operational productivity.

Digital Commerce Solutions Group
					($ millions)				Third Quarter
					Revenue				2015		2014		Y/Y Reported		Y/Y Ex Currency
					Software Solutions				$98		$112		(13%)		(7%)

					Global Ecommerce				(1)		(1)		(83%)
					Digital Commerce Total				$13		$18		(27%)

Software Solutions

Revenue comparisons were adversely impacted by lower licensing revenue in the Americas when compared to the prior year, which included a large licensing deal. Excluding the impact of that deal, Software’s results were in-line with expectations as the business continues to acquire new enterprise clients through targeted industry and application-specific solutions. EBIT margin declined as a result of a lower amount of licensing revenue, which has a higher-margin.

Global Ecommerce

Results included a full quarter of revenue from Borderfree and the continued expansion of the eBay UK outbound cross-border service. Outbound package shipments from the U.S. continued to be pressured by the strong U.S. dollar. EBIT margin was impacted primarily by amortization of intangibles and investments related to the Borderfree acquisition, offsetting benefits from initial integration synergies.

2015 GUIDANCE

This guidance discusses future results, which are inherently subject to unforeseen risks and developments. As such, discussions about the business outlook should be read in the context of an uncertain future, as well as the risk factors identified in the safe harbor language at the end of this release and as more fully outlined in the Company's 2014 Form 10-K Annual Report and other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company expects improving trends in the business to continue into the fourth quarter as a result of actions taken to achieve its long-term strategic initiatives. The Company is reaffirming its annual adjusted EPS, GAAP EPS and free cash flow guidance. The Company is updating its annual revenue guidance based on year-to-date results and the outlook for the remainder of the year.

The Company now expects:

• Annual revenue to be in the range of flat to a decline of 2 percent when compared to 2014 on a constant currency basis.

The Company still expects:

• Adjusted EPS to be in the range of $1.75 to $1.90;
• GAAP EPS to be in the range of $2.06 to $2.21;
• Free cash flow to be in the range of $450 million to $525 million.

As a reminder, GAAP EPS guidance for the year includes the following:

• $0.44 per share of Other income related to the net gain from the sale of Imagitas;
• $0.05 per share of Other expense for the resolution of an outstanding legal matter and transaction costs and fees related to the Borderfree and Imagitas transactions;
• $0.04 per share of Restructuring and asset impairment charges;
• $0.04 per share of compensation expense related to the vesting of options associated with the Borderfree acquisition.

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.

Conference Call and Webcast

About Pitney Bowes

Pitney Bowes (NYSE: PBI) 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. More than 1.5 million clients in approximately 100 countries around the world rely on products, solutions and services from Pitney Bowes.

The Company's financial results are reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company uses measures such as adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), adjusted earnings per share, adjusted income from continuing operations and free cash flow to exclude the impact of special items like restructuring charges, tax adjustments, and goodwill and asset write-downs, because, 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.

The use of free cash flow provides investors insight into the amount of cash that management could have available for other discretionary uses. It adjusts GAAP cash from operations for capital expenditures, as well as special items like cash used for restructuring charges, unusual tax settlements or payments and contributions to its pension funds. Management uses segment EBIT to measure profitability and performance at the segment level. Segment EBIT is determined by deducting from 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. 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.

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