Revenue trends improved versus the prior two quarters and benefited from growth in inserting equipment sales, driven in part by the new Epic™ product line, and higher supplies revenue. Revenue was adversely impacted by fewer printer installations than the prior year. EBIT margin declined versus the prior year due to product mix and increased engineering investments.
Presort Services
Revenue benefited from higher volumes of First Class and Standard mail processed versus the prior year, as well as new client acquisitions. EBIT margin declined versus the prior year due in part to investments made to expand the network into two new U.S. markets.
