Pitney Bowes Announces Third Quarter 2015 Financial Results

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.
