* The sum of the earnings per share may not equal the totals above due to rounding.

GAAP Cash from Operations and Free Cash Flow Results

GAAP cash from operations during the quarter was $92 million and free cash flow was $30 million. Compared to the prior year, free cash flow increased by $22 million largely due to the timing of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, as well as lower tax payments and was partly offset by higher capital expenditures along with the timing of other working capital requirements.

The Company used cash to return $35 million in dividends to shareholders and to pay $12 million for restructuring payments.

Status of Divestiture

On July 2, 2018, the Company completed the sale of DMT Production Mail and supporting software to Platinum Equity, other than in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions, which are expected to close in the third and fourth quarters, subject to local regulatory requirements.

The Company has received $316 million in proceeds to-date with the remaining balance of approximately $24 million expected to be received in the second half of 2018, subject to certain adjustments.

As a result of the sale, the DMT Production Mail and supporting software operations have been classified as discontinued operations and prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to this presentation.

Second Quarter 2018 Business Segment Reporting

The business reporting groups reflect how the Company manages these groups and the clients served in each market.
