Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
- Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
Pitney Bowes Inc. (we, us, our, or the company) is a technology-driven company that provides SaaS shipping solutions, mailing innovation, and financial services to clients around the world - including more than 90 percent of the Fortune 500. Small businesses to large enterprises, and government entities rely on Pitney Bowes to reduce the complexity of sending mail and parcels.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and the instructions to Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In addition, the December 31, 2024 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. In management's opinion, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary to fairly state our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented have been included. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2025. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report to Stockholders on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (2024 Annual Report).
Effective April 1, 2025, we revised our segment reporting to report the revenue and related expenses of a cross-border services contract in our SendTech Solutions reporting segment, which was previously reported in Other. Prior periods have been recast to conform to the current period presentation. Other operations now includes the revenue and related expenses of prior operations and shared services of the Global Ecommerce reporting segment that did not qualify for discontinued operations treatment.
Effective January 1, 2025, we revised our reporting presentation of revenue and cost of revenue to better align with our offerings. We now report Services revenue and Cost of services, which includes the previously reported Business services and Support services, Products revenue and Cost of products, which includes the previously reported Equipment sales and Supplies and Financing and other revenue and Cost of financing and other, which includes the previously reported Financing and Rentals. Additionally, we revised our corporate expense allocation methodology to allocate all marketing and innovation expenses to our SendTech Solutions segment due to a change in how these functions are now managed. Prior periods have been recast to conform to the current period presentation.
As a result of the wind-down of a majority of the Global Ecommerce reportable segment in August 2024, certain revenues and expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are reported as discontinued operations in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 4 for further information.
During the first quarter of 2025, we identified an error and recorded an out of period adjustment of $4 million to correct an overstatement of revenue in prior periods. The impact of the adjustment is not material to the consolidated financial statements for any interim or annual periods prior to 2025 and is not expected to be material to the 2025 annual period.
During the first quarter of 2024, we identified an error and recorded an out of period adjustment of $5 million to correct an understatement of revenue in prior periods, of which $4 million originated in 2020 and prior. The impact of the adjustment was not material to the consolidated financial statements for any interim or annual periods.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires more detailed information about specified categories of expenses included in certain expense captions presented on the face of the income statement. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact this standard will have on our disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires additional income tax disclosures, including the rate reconciliation and taxes paid. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We currently do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our disclosures.

Our performance obligations for revenue from services and products are as follows:
Services revenue includes revenues from digital shipping and mailing technology solutions and the maintenance, professional and subscription services related to those solutions, mail processing services and cross-border solutions. Revenues for mail processing services and cross-border solutions are recognized over time using an output method based on the number of parcels or mail pieces either processed or delivered, depending on the service type, since that measure best depicts the value of goods and services transferred to the client over the contract period. Contract terms for these services initially range fromone tofive years and contain annual renewal options. Revenue for shipping subscription services is recognized ratably over the contract period as the client obtains equal benefit from these services throughout the period. Revenue for maintenance and subscription services is recognized ratably over the contract period, which ranges from one to five years, and revenue for professional services is recognized when services are provided.
Products revenue generally includes the sale of mailing and shipping equipment and related supplies. We recognize revenue upon delivery for self-install equipment and supplies and upon acceptance or installation for other equipment.
Financing and other revenue includes revenue from sales-type and operating leases, finance income, late fees and investment income, gains and losses at the Pitney Bowes Bank.

|---|
The amounts above do not include revenue for performance obligations under contracts with terms less than 12 months or revenue for performance obligations where revenue is recognized based on the amount billable to the customer.
- Segment Information
Our reportable segments are SendTech Solutions and Presort Services. SendTech Solutions includes the revenue and related expenses from physical and digital shipping and mailing technology solutions, financing, services, supplies and other applications to help simplify and save on the sending, tracking and receiving of letters, parcels and flats. Presort Services includes the revenue and related expenses from sortation services to qualify large volumes of First Class Mail, Marketing Mail and Marketing Mail Flats/Bound Printed Matter for postal worksharing discounts.
Other operations includes the revenue and related expenses of prior operations and shared services of the Global Ecommerce reporting segment that did not qualify for discontinued operations treatment.
Management, including our Chief Executive Officer, who is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), measures segment profitability and performance using adjusted segment earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT). Adjusted segment EBIT is calculated as segment revenues less the related costs and expenses attributable to the segment. Adjusted segment EBIT excludes interest, taxes, general corporate expenses, restructuring charges, and other items not allocated to our segments. Management believes that adjusted segment EBIT provides investors a useful measure of operating performance and underlying trends of the business. Adjusted segment EBIT may not be indicative of our overall consolidated performance and therefore, should be read in conjunction with our consolidated results of operations. The following tables provide information about our reportable segments and a reconciliation of adjusted segment EBIT to income or loss from continuing operations before taxes.

- Discontinued Operations
On August 8, 2024, we entered into a series of transactions designed to facilitate an orderly wind-down of a majority of the Company’s Global Ecommerce reporting segment. In connection with the wind-down, an affiliate of Hilco Commercial Industrial, LLC (“Hilco”) subscribed for 81% of the voting interests in the subsidiary, DRF Logistics, LLC owning a majority of the Global Ecommerce segment’s net assets and operations (DRF Logistics, LLC and its subsidiary, DRF LLC, the “Ecommerce Debtors”) for de minimis consideration (the “GEC Sale”), with a subsidiary of Pitney Bowes retaining 19% of the voting interests and 100% of the economic interests.
Subsequent to the GEC Sale, the Ecommerce Debtors, at the direction of their own governing bodies, filed petitions to commence Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases and conduct an orderly wind-down of the Ecommerce Debtors (the “GEC Chapter 11 Cases”). As a result of the GEC Chapter 11 Cases, the Company determined that it no longer had control of the Ecommerce Debtors and therefore, the Ecommerce Debtors were deconsolidated. We refer to the GEC Sale, the GEC Chapter 11 Cases and any associated transactions as the “Ecommerce Restructuring”.
On November 25, 2024, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Ecommerce Debtors’ Third Amended Joint Plan of Liquidation (the “Plan”) and on December 9, 2024, the Plan became effective in accordance with its terms, substantially consummating the separation of the Company from the Ecommerce Debtors.
In connection with the GEC Chapter 11 Cases, we provided a senior secured, super-priority debtor-in-possession term loan (the "DIP Facility") to the Ecommerce Debtors and provided initial funding of $28 million. Through June 30, 2025, we've received repayments of $19 million. The remaining unpaid balance on the DIP Facility is fully reserved and future repayments will be recorded as income.
We account for the investment in the Ecommerce Debtors using the equity method, but have ascribed a fair value of our economic interest in the Ecommerce Debtors ofzero. We do not anticipate receiving any recovery or distribution from our economic equity interest and remain exposed to the economic risks and continued costs applicable to the Ecommerce Debtors through our investment in the DIP Facility.
Discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 is comprised of the following:
| Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 | Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 | |

The calculation of basic and diluted EPS is presented below. The sum of the EPS amounts may not equal the totals due to rounding.

| Common stock equivalents excluded from calculation of diluted earnings per share because their impact would be anti-dilutive: | 4,646 | 7,128 | 4,646 | 7,204 |
(1) Due to the net loss from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an additional 2.4 million of common stock equivalents were also excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.
We utilize the control number concept in the computation of diluted earnings per share to determine whether potential common stock equivalents are dilutive. The control number used is income from continuing operations. The control number concept requires that the same number of potentially dilutive securities applied in computing diluted earnings per share from continuing operations be applied to all other categories of income or loss, regardless of their anti-dilutive effect on such categories.

Allowance for Credit Losses
We provide an allowance for credit losses based on historical loss experience, the nature of our portfolios, adverse situations that may affect a client's ability to pay and current economic conditions and outlook based on reasonable and supportable forecasts. We continually evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses and adjust as necessary. The assumptions used in determining an estimate of credit losses are inherently subjective and actual results may differ significantly from estimated reserves.
We establish credit approval limits based on the client's credit quality and the type of equipment financed. We cease financing revenue recognition for lease receivables and unsecured loan receivables that are more than 90 days past due. Revenue recognition is resumed when the client's payments reduce the account aging to less than 60 days past due. Finance receivables are written off against the allowance after all collection efforts have been exhausted and management deems the account to be uncollectible. We believe that our credit risk is low because of the geographic and industry diversification of our clients and small account balances for most of our clients.

Credit Quality
The extension and management of credit lines to new and existing clients uses a combination of a client's credit score, where available, a detailed manual review of their financial condition and payment history, or an automated process. Once credit is granted, the payment performance of the client is managed through automated collections processes and is supplemented with direct follow-up should an account become delinquent. We have robust automated collections and extensive portfolio management processes to ensure that our global strategy is executed, collection resources are allocated and enhanced tools and processes are implemented as needed.
Over 85% of our finance receivables are within the North American portfolio. We use a third-party to score the majority of this portfolio on a quarterly basis using a proprietary commercial credit score. The relative scores are determined based on a number of factors, including financial information, payment history, company type and ownership structure. We stratify the credit scores of our clients into low, medium and high-risk accounts. Due to timing and other issues, our entire portfolio may not be scored at period end. We report these amounts as "Not Scored"; however, absence of a score is not indicative of the credit quality of the account. The credit score is used to predict the payment behaviors of our clients and the probability that an account will become greater than 90 days past due during the subsequent 12-month period.
Low risk accounts are companies with very good credit scores and a predicted delinquency rate of less than 5%.
Medium risk accounts are companies with average to good credit scores and a predicted delinquency rate between 5% and 10%.
High risk accounts are companies with poor credit scores, are delinquent or are at risk of becoming delinquent. The predicted delinquency rate would be greater than 10%.
We do not use a third-party to score our International portfolio because the cost to do so is prohibitive as there is no single credit score model that covers all countries. Accordingly, the entire International portfolio is reported in the Not Scored category. Most of the International credit applications are small dollar applications (i.e. below $50 thousand) and are subjected to an automated review process. Larger credit applications are manually reviewed, which includes obtaining client financial information, credit reports and other available financial information.

- Fair Value Measurements and Derivative Instruments
We measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity-specific measure. An entity is required to classify certain assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on the following fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 – Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3– Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, may be derived from internally developed methodologies based on management’s best estimate of fair value and that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability.
Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect its placement within the fair value hierarchy. The following tables show, by level within the fair value hierarchy, our financial assets and liabilities that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis.

Investment Securities
The valuation of investment securities is based on a market approach using inputs that are observable, or can be corroborated by observable data, in an active marketplace. The following information relates to our classification within the fair value hierarchy:
Money Market Funds: Money market funds typically invest in government securities, certificates of deposit, commercial paper and other highly liquid, low risk securities. Money market funds are principally used for overnight deposits and are classified as Level 1 when unadjusted quoted prices in active markets are available and as Level 2 when they are not actively traded on an exchange.
Equity Securities: Equity securities are comprised of mutual funds investing in U.S. and foreign stocks. These mutual funds are classified as Level 2.
Commingled Fixed Income Securities: Commingled fixed income securities are comprised of mutual funds that invest in a variety of fixed income securities, including securities of the U.S. government and its agencies, corporate debt, mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities. Fair value is based on the value of the underlying investments owned by each fund, minus its liabilities, divided by the number of shares outstanding, as reported by the fund manager. These mutual funds are classified as Level 1 when unadjusted quoted prices in active markets are available and as Level 2 when they are not actively traded on an exchange.
Government and Related Securities: Debt securities are classified as Level 1 when unadjusted quoted prices in active markets are available. Debt securities are classified as Level 2 where fair value is determined using quoted market prices for similar securities or benchmarking model derived prices to quoted market prices and trade data for identical or comparable securities.
Corporate Debt Securities: Corporate debt securities are valued using recently executed comparable transactions, market price quotations or bond spreads for the same maturity as the security. These securities are classified as Level 2.
Mortgage-Backed / Asset-Backed Securities: These securities are valued based on external pricing indices or external price/spread data. These securities are classified as Level 2.
Available-For-Sale Securities
Investment securities classified as available-for-sale are recorded at fair value. Changes in fair value due to market conditions are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL), and changes in fair value due to credit conditions are recorded in earnings. There were no changes in fair value charged to earnings in the six months ended June 30, 2025 or 2024.
Available-for-sale securities consisted of the following:
| June 30, 2025 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amortized cost | Gross unrealized gains | Gross unrealized losses | Estimated fair value | |

| Total | $— | $— | $3,926 | $225 |
At June 30, 2025, substantially all securities in the investment portfolio were in an unrealized loss position. However, we have not recorded an allowance for credit loss or an impairment charge as we have the ability and intent to hold these securities until recovery of the unrealized losses or expect to receive the stated principal and interest at maturity.
Scheduled maturities of available-for-sale securities at June 30, 2025 were as follows:
| Amortized cost | Estimated fair value | |
|---|---|---|
| Within 1 year | $4,115 | $3,922 |
| After 1 year through 5 years | 21,035 | 18,947 |
| After 5 years through 10 years | 25,984 | 22,729 |
| After 10 years | 133,446 | 104,896 |
| Total | $184,580 | $150,494 |
Actual maturities may not coincide with scheduled maturities as certain securities contain early redemption features and/or allow for the prepayment of obligations.
Held-to-Maturity Securities
Certain investment securities are classified as held-to-maturity and include certificates of deposits with maturities less than 90 days and highly-liquid government securities with maturities less thantwo years. Held-to-maturity securities at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 totaled $104 million and $203 million, respectively.
Derivative Instruments
We are exposed to the impact of changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We may use derivative instruments to limit the effects on our financial results from changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. We did not enter into any derivative instruments during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Interest Rate Swaps
At June 30, 2024, we had outstanding interest rate swap agreements that effectively converted $200 million of variable rate debt to fixed rates. These swaps were designated as cash flow hedges. The swaps were recorded at fair value at the end of each reporting period with the change in fair value reflected in AOCL. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the amount recognized in AOCL was a loss of $2 million and the amount reclassified from AOCL to earnings was a gain of $3 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the amount recognized in AOCL was a loss of $4 million and the amount reclassified from AOCL to earnings was a gain of $5 million.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment securities, accounts receivable, loan receivables, accounts payable and debt. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, held-to-maturity investment securities, accounts receivable, loans receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value. The fair value of available-for-sale investment securities is presented above. The inputs used to estimate the fair value of debt included recently executed transactions and market price quotations (Level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy).
The carrying value and estimated fair value of debt was as follows:
| June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Carrying value | $1,896,715 | $1,919,708 |

In the first quarter of 2025, we redeemed the remaining outstanding balance of the Notes due March 2028 and recorded a loss of $17 million in other (income) expense. Additionally, we entered into a new senior secured credit agreement (the "New Credit Agreement"), which provides for $265 million revolving credit facility maturing March 2028, a $160 million term loan maturing March 2028 and a $615 million term loan maturing March 2032. The proceeds from the new term loans were used to repay the outstanding balances of the Term loan due March 2026 and Term loan due March 2028 and for general corporate purposes. We recorded a loss of $8 million in connection with this refinance in other (income) expense.
During 2025, we also purchased an aggregate $37 million of the Notes due March 2027 and Notes due March 2029.
Under the New Credit Agreement, we are required to maintain (with maintenance tested quarterly) (i) a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) of not less than 2.00 to 1.00, (ii) a Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) of no greater than 3.00 to 1.00 and (iii) a Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) of no greater than (a)5.25 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025, (b)5.00 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2025 and (c)4.75 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter ending on or after March 31, 2026. At June 30, 2025, we were in compliance with these financial covenants and there were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility. Borrowings under our New Credit Agreement are secured by assets of the Company.
The New Credit Agreement also contains provisions whereby if, on any day between the period commencing on September 14, 2026 and ending on March 15, 2027, the Notes due March 2027 have not been redeemed in full and liquidity is less than an amount equal to the amount to redeem the Notes due March 2027 plus $100 million, the Term loan due March 2028 and any borrowings under the revolving credit facility would become due on such date (the "Pro Rata Springing Maturity Date"), and if on any date during the period beginning on December 14, 2026 and ending on March 15, 2027, the Notes due March 2027 remain outstanding and the Pro Rata Springing Maturity Date has occurred, the Term loan due March 2032 would be become due on such date. We are considering various strategies and fully intend to redeem the Notes due March 2027 before September 2026 either with available liquidity or refinance through the capital markets.

- Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025 is 23.7% and includes a benefit of $2 million for the resolution of tax matters. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025 is 24.0% and includes a benefit of $2 million for the vesting of restricted stock and a benefit of $2 million for the resolution of tax matters.
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded a tax provision of $2 million on a pre-tax loss of $8 million primarily due to restructuring charges as a result of the 2024 Plan. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded a tax provision of $18 million on pre-tax income of $40 million primarily due to restructuring charges as a result of the 2024 Plan and a charge of $2 million for the vesting of restricted stock.
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act was enacted on July 4, 2025, and we do not expect any material impact to our tax provision. On a regular basis, we conclude tax return examinations, statutes of limitation expire, and court decisions interpret tax law. We regularly assess tax uncertainties in light of these developments; and as a result, it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will decrease in the next 12 months, and this decrease could be up to 35% of our unrecognized tax benefits.
With regard to U.S. Federal income tax, the Internal Revenue Service examination of our consolidated U.S. income tax returns for tax years prior to 2020 are closed to audit, except for review of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act Sec. 965 transition tax. On a state and local level, returns for most jurisdictions are closed through 2019. For our significant non-U.S. jurisdictions, Canada is closed to examination through 2019 except for a specific issue under current exam, and France, Germany and the U.K. are closed through 2019, 2017 and 2022, respectively. We also have other less significant tax filings currently subject to examination.
- Commitments and Contingencies
From time to time, in the ordinary course of business as well as in connection with our recent GEC Chapter 11 cases, we are involved in litigation pertaining to, among other things, contractual rights under vendor, insurance or other contracts; intellectual property or patent rights; equipment, service, payment or other disputes with clients; or disputes with employees. Some of these actions may be brought as a purported class action on behalf of a purported class of customers, employees, or others.
On October 1, 2024, one of the Ecommerce Debtors filed a complaint against Trilogy Leasing Co., LLC (“Trilogy”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas seeking to recharacterize certain Equipment Supplements to which they are parties as disguised financings ("Recharacterization Proceeding"). On October 8, 2024, we filed a motion to intervene in support of the Ecommerce Debtors' position, which the court granted on April 1, 2025. The case is now proceeding.
On November 7, 2024, Trilogy and its parent company Kingsbridge Holdings, LLC brought suit against us in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, alleging that we are liable for certain Equipment Supplements that were executed by the Ecommerce Debtors and by Pitney Bowes Presort Services, LLC. On December 16, 2024, we removed the litigation to the Northern District of Illinois based on diversity jurisdiction and subsequently filed a motion to dismiss, and to the extent not dismissed, stay the action pending the conclusion of the Recharacterization Proceeding. On July 15, 2025, the Northern District of Illinois court granted, in part, and denied, in part, the relief sought.
In addition, on May 9, 2025, Mitsubishi (the assignee of certain Equipment Supplements by Trilogy and/or Kingsbridge Holdings, LLC) brought an action in Superior Court of the State of Delaware, raising claims that are a subset of the claims in the Illinois Action. We have filed a motion to dismiss, and to the extent not dismissed, stay that action pending the conclusion of the Recharacterization Proceeding.
Due to uncertainties inherent in litigation, any actions could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows; however, in management's opinion, the final outcome of outstanding matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
