Pitney Bowes Announces First Quarter 2020 Financial Results

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 cash flows of discontinued operations, capital expenditures, restructuring payments, changes in customer deposits held at the Pitney Bowes Bank, transaction costs and other special items. A reconciliation of GAAP cash from operations to free cash flow can be found in the 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 also provides segment EBITDA, which further excludes depreciation and amortization expense for the segment, as an additional useful measure of segment profitability and operational performance. 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.

This document contains “forward-looking statements” about the Company’s expected or potential future business and financial performance. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about its future revenue and earnings guidance and other statements about future events or conditions. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. These risks and uncertainties include the severity, magnitude and duration of the Covid-19 pandemic (Covid-19), including governments' responses to Covid-19, its continuing impact on our operations, employees, global supply chain and consumer demand across our and our clients' businesses as well as any deterioration or instability in global macroeconomic conditions. Other factors, which could cause future financial performance to differ materially from the expectations, and which may also be exacerbated by Covid-19 or a negative change in the economy, include, without limitation: declining physical mail volumes; changes in postal regulations, or the financial health of posts in the U.S. or other major markets or the loss of, or significant changes to, our contractual relationship with the United States Postal Service (USPS); our ability to continue to grow volumes, gain additional economies of scale and improve profitability within our Commerce Services group; the loss of some of our larger clients in our Commerce Services group; our success at managing customer credit risk; third-party suppliers' ability to provide products and services required by our clients; changes in labor conditions and transportation costs; capital market disruptions or credit rating downgrades that adversely impact our ability to access capital markets at reasonable costs; a breach of security, including a future cyber-attack or other comparable event; our success in developing and marketing new products and services and obtaining regulatory approvals, if required; competitive factors, including pricing pressures, technological developments and the introduction of new products and services by competitors and other factors as more fully outlined in the Company's 2019 Form 10-K Annual Report and other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Pitney Bowes assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this document as a result of new information, events or developments.

Note: Consolidated statements of income; revenue, EBIT and EBITDA by business segment; and reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP measures for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, and consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are attached.
