Global Ecommerce
Results included a full quarter of revenue from Newgistics. On a proforma basis, Newgistics delivered 10 percent revenue growth, which was driven by strong performance in both parcel and fulfillment volumes.
Excluding Newgistics, the segment continued to generate double-digit revenue growth, which was driven by strong performance in both domestic shipping and cross border volumes. The EBIT loss was driven primarily by investments in market growth opportunities and operational excellence initiatives as well as the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets. EBITDA improved from prior year driven by the higher revenue.
Presort Services
Revenue growth was driven by improved revenue per piece along with higher volumes of First Class mail and flats processed but partly offset by lower Standard Class mail volumes processed. EBIT and EBITDA margin declined from prior year primarily due to higher labor and transportation costs.
