Pitney Bowes Announces First Quarter 2019 Financial Results

GAAP Cash from Operations and Free Cash Flow Results

GAAP cash from operations during the quarter was $70 million and free cash flow was $32 million. Compared to the prior year, free cash flow was lower partially due to the timing of reserve account deposits and the decline in net income offset by the timing of working capital requirements.

The Company repurchased $39 million worth of its shares and returned $9 million in dividends to its common shareholders.

Adoption of New Lease Accounting Standard

The company adopted the new lease accounting standard, ASC 842, effective January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective approach, which requires the Company to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented. Beginning with the quarter ending March 31, 2019, the Company’s financial information will reflect adoption of the standard with prior periods adjusted accordingly. Certain reclassified historical financial information on a basis consistent with the new standard can be found within the Financial Reporting section of the Company's Investor Relations web site, or at www.investorrelations.pitneybowes.com/financial-information This reclassified historical information does not take into account any other reclassifications that may be made to historical financial information to conform to the current year presentation.

First Quarter 2019 Business Segment Reporting

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