Pitney Bowes Announces Second Quarter Results for 2012

Revenue during the quarter was adversely impacted by a low backlog heading into the quarter and some large enterprise customers continued to prolong their capital investment decisions. However, the business experienced an increase in the backlog of orders at the end of the quarter, which in part was a result of new products and the quadrennial Drupa industry trade show held in May. This is expected to improve performance in the second half of the year as compared to the first half of the year.

EBIT margin this quarter declined year-over-year due to lower revenue and increased investment in Volly. The company expects continued investment in Volly in the second half of the year as this solution approaches market launch in both Australia and the U.S. Excluding the investment in Volly, EBIT margin would have been approximately 460 basis points higher this quarter.

During the quarter, the Software segment continued to experience good demand across its portfolio of software solutions, especially in the Americas. However, the company experienced lower sales in Europe, particularly in the public sector. Overall, the Software EBIT margin declined versus the prior year because of product mix and channel investments to expand its global solutions sales capability.
