Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

  1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

Pitney Bowes Inc. ("we", "our", or "the company") is a technology-driven company that provides digital 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, 2025 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet 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, 2026. 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/A for the year ended December 31, 2025 (2025 Annual Report).

Effective April 1, 2025, segment reporting was revised 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. Accordingly, segment results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 have been revised to conform to the current period presentation.

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 was not material to the consolidated financial statements for any interim or annual periods prior to 2025 and was not material to the 2025 annual period.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2026

In the first quarter of 2026, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, and elected the practical expedient to assume that the current conditions as of the balance sheet date will remain unchanged for the remaining life of the asset when developing a reasonable and supportable forecast as part of estimating expected credit losses on those assets. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans, which updates the accounting for certain acquired seasoned loans subject to the current expected credit loss model. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact this standard will have on our financial statements.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which updates the timing of recognition for internal-use software costs. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, 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 financial statements.

In November 2024, the 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. The adoption of this standard will not have any impact on our financial statements but will result in more comprehensive and enhanced 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 fromone tofive 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, fees and investment income, gains and losses at the Pitney Bowes Bank.

Advance billings are recorded when cash payments are due in advance of our performance. Revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term. Items in advance billings primarily relate to maintenance services on mailing equipment. Revenue recognized during the period includes $29 million of advance billings at the beginning of the period. Current advance billings at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 does not include $8 million and $6 million, respectively, from leasing transactions.

Future Performance Obligations

Future performance obligations primarily include maintenance and subscription services bundled with our leasing contracts. The transaction prices allocated to future performance obligations will be recognized as follows:

These amounts 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.

  1. Segment Information

Our reportable segments are SendTech Solutions and Presort Services. SendTech Solutions includes the revenue and related expenses from physical and digital mailing and shipping 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, First Class Flats, Marketing Mail and Marketing Mail Flats/Bound Printed Matter for postal worksharing discounts.

Management, including the 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. Effective January 1, 2026, we are excluding expense related to the U.S. and Canada pension plans from Adjusted segment EBIT as we have taken steps to terminate these plans. Prior periods were not recast. Management believes that adjusted segment EBIT provides 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 before taxes.

  1. Finance Assets and Lessor Operating Leases

Finance Assets

Finance receivables are comprised of sales-type leases, secured loans and unsecured loans. Sales-type leases and secured loans are financing options for the purchase or lease of Pitney Bowes equipment or other manufacturers' equipment and are generally due in installments over periods ranging from three tofive years. Unsecured loans are revolving credit lines offered to our clients for postage, supplies and working capital purposes. Unsecured loans are generally due monthly; however, clients may rollover outstanding balances. Interest is recognized on finance receivables using the effective interest method. Annual fees are recognized ratably over the period covered and client acquisition costs are expensed as incurred. All finance receivables are in our SendTech Solutions segment and we segregate finance receivables into a North America portfolio and an International portfolio.

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, 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 the account is deemed 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.

Activity in the allowance for credit losses for finance receivables was as follows:

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.

Substantially all 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 subjected to an automated review process. Credit applications that are manually reviewed include obtaining client financial information, credit reports and other available financial information.

  1. 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. The 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 valuation of financial assets and liabilities 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:

Assets

Money Market Funds: Money market funds typically invest in securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies and other highly liquid, low risk securities. The fair value of money market funds is based on the net asset value as reported daily by the underlying money market fund and serves as the basis for subscriptions and redemptions. Accordingly, money market funds are classified as Level 1.

Mutual Funds: Comprised of mutual funds investing in equity securities of U.S. and foreign companies and a variety of fixed income securities. Mutual fund investments are primarily held in our deferred compensation plan (see Deferred Compensation Obligation below). The fair value of mutual funds is based on the net asset value as reported daily by the underlying mutual fund and serves as the basis for subscriptions and redemptions. Accordingly, mutual funds are classified as Level 1.

Government Securities: Government securities consist primarily of municipal bonds and U.S. agency securities. Government securities are classified as Level 1 when unadjusted quoted prices in active markets are available and as Level 2 when fair value is determined using quoted market prices for similar securities or by benchmarking models which derive prices based on observable transactions for 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. Accordingly, these securities are classified as Level 2.

Mortgage-Backed Securities: Comprised of U.S Government agency mortgage-backed securities issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), Governmental National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), and the Federal Housing Administration and commercial mortgage-backed securities. Fair value for these securities is determined based on prices of comparable securities, external pricing indices or external price/spread data. Accordingly, these securities are classified as Level 2.

Asset-Backed Securities: Asset-backed securities are classified as Level 2 as fair value for these securities is determined based on prices of comparable securities, external pricing indices or external price/spread data.

Liabilities

Deferred Compensation Obligation: we offer a deferred compensation plan that allows certain eligible employees to defer a portion of their variable compensation annually and invest their deferred compensation among a variety of investment options. The deferred compensation obligation represents the aggregate value of the participants' accounts at the end of the reporting period. The fair value of the deferred compensation obligation is determined based on the underlying asset values and is classified as Level 2. The deferred compensation obligation is reported in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

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 three months ended March 31, 2026 or 2025.

At March 31, 2026, 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 and expect to receive the stated principal and interest at maturity.

Scheduled maturities of available-for-sale securities at March 31, 2026 were as follows:

Long-term debt$1,774,240$1,975,888

In the first quarter of 2026, we issued an additional aggregate $150 million of the Notes due March 2029. The additional notes have identical terms to the previously outstanding Notes due March 2029.

We maintain a revolving credit facility which was increased from $400 million to $450 million in the first quarter of 2026. Under this credit facility, we are required to maintain (with maintenance tested quarterly) (i) a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the credit facility agreement) of not less than 2.00 to 1.00, (ii) a Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit facility agreement) of no greater than 3.00 to 1.00 and (iii) a Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit facility agreement) of no greater than 4.75 to 1.00. At March 31, 2026, we were in compliance with these financial covenants and there were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility. Borrowings under this credit facility are secured by assets of the Company.

The credit facility 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.

We have outstanding an aggregate $230 million convertible senior notes (the "Convertible Notes"). Prior to May 15, 2030, the Convertible Notes will be convertible only upon satisfaction of certain conditions and during certain periods, and, thereafter, the Convertible Notes will be convertible at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. The conversion rate and conversion price were updated in the period as a result of an increase in our dividend, and is now 70.2937 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount and $14.23 per share of common stock, respectively, and subject to adjustment.

We may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to August 21, 2028. On or after August 21, 2028, we may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Convertible Notes, at our option, if the last reported sale price of the Company’s Common Stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

If the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture), subject to certain conditions, holders may require that we repurchase for cash all or part of their Convertible Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, if a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture) occurs, or if we send a notice of redemption, we may be required to increase the conversion rate for any Convertible Notes converted in connection with such make-whole fundamental change or notice of redemption by a specified number of shares of its Common Stock.

The Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis, by each of the Company’s existing and future wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries that guarantee the Company’s existing credit agreement, existing senior notes or any other series of capital market debt with an aggregate principal amount outstanding in excess of $150 million.

Conversions of the Convertible Notes will be settled by paying cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes being converted and by delivering shares of our common stock in respect of the remainder, if any, of our conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes being converted.

In connection with the Convertible Notes offering, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the "Capped Call Transactions") with certain of the initial purchasers or their respective affiliates and certain other financial institutions. The Capped Call Transactions are expected to reduce the potential dilution of our common stock upon conversion of any Convertible Notes.

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 2022 are closed to audit. With regard to U.S. state and local returns, most jurisdictions are closed through 2019. For our significant non-U.S. jurisdictions, Canada is closed to examination through 2020 except for a specific issue (the issue is in appeals for 2016 and 2017 and under current examination for 2018 and 2019), India is currently under review for 2022 through 2024, and France, Germany and the U.K. are closed through 2019, 2020 and 2023, respectively.

  1. Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, in the ordinary course of business as well as in connection with our 2024 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.

The Company is involved in a dispute regarding agreements called “Equipment Supplements” with a former vendor for GEC that has resulted inthree separate litigations. Trilogy Leasing Co., LLC (“Trilogy”) and its parent company Kingsbridge Holdings, LLC, filed suit against Pitney Bowes Inc. and Pitney Bowes Presort Services, LLC in November 2024, seeking $95 million in lease payments and additional interest and fees. That suit is pending in the Northern District of Illinois. In addition, we had intervened in a case filed against Trilogy in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas by one of the GEC Debtors, challenging the amount of damages potentially recoverable by Trilogy. The parties have agreed that this Texas case is now moot and should be dismissed; and the parties are awaiting a ruling from the Texas Court on the scope of that dismissal. We have now raised the same arguments against the damage claims in the Illinois action.

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, taking into account established accruals for estimated liabilities.
