STAMFORD, Conn--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 6, 2019-- Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE:PBI), a global technology company that provides commerce solutions in the areas of ecommerce, shipping, mailing, and data, today announced its financial results for the second quarter 2019.

Quarterly Results:

  • Revenue of $861 million, a decrease of 1 percent; flat when adjusted for the impact of currency; an increase of 2 percent when adjusted for both the impact of currency and market exits
  • GAAP EPS of $0.13; Adjusted EPS of $0.21
  • GAAP cash from operations of $17 million; free cash flow of $13 million
  • Returned a total of $70 million to shareholders through the repurchase of 11.8 million shares of stock for $61 million and $9 million in dividends
  • The Company is reaffirming its 2019 annual guidance

“I am pleased with our overall performance in the second quarter,” said Marc B. Lautenbach, President and CEO, Pitney Bowes. “Parcel volumes through our domestic ecommerce network increased 42 percent, which is an important metric as we continue to scale this business. The Company’s revenue in the second quarter continued to grow on a comparable basis and earnings were in-line with our expectations. We continued to make progress against our strategic objectives as we move our portfolio to the growth areas of the market, and are positioned to meet our financial goals for the year and over the long-term.”

Second Quarter 2019 Results

Revenue totaled $861 million, which was a decline of 1 percent versus prior year. Revenue was flat versus the prior year when adjusted for the impact of currency and increased 2 percent when adjusted for both the impact of currency and the previously announced sale of direct operations in 6 smaller European markets (market exits).

Commerce Services revenue grew 13 percent as reported and 14 percent when adjusted for the impact of currency. Small and Medium Business (SMB) Solutions revenue declined 8 percent as reported and 7 percent when adjusted for the impact of currency. SMB revenue declined 4 percent when adjusted for both the impact of currency and market exits. Software Solutions revenue declined 21 percent as reported and 20 percent adjusted for currency.

GAAP earnings per diluted share (GAAP EPS) were $0.13. Adjusted earnings per diluted share (Adjusted EPS) were $0.21.

GAAP Cash from Operations and Free Cash Flow Results

GAAP cash from operations during the quarter was $17 million and free cash flow was $13 million. Compared to prior year, the decline in free cash flow was driven by the timing of working capital, largely within accounts payable, and the decline in net income. These impacts were partially offset by lower capital expenditures and the timing of reserve account deposits.

During the quarter, the Company repurchased $61 million of its shares, reduced debt by $13 million and paid $9 million in dividends to its common shareholders.

Second Quarter 2019 Business Segment Reporting

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

Revenue increased from prior year driven by growth in domestic parcel and shipping solutions volumes. EBIT and EBITDA margin percentages declined from prior year driven by a shift in the mix of business to faster growing, but lower-margin services. Margins were also impacted by investments in market growth opportunities, including marketing programs, along with investments in operational excellence initiatives.

Presort Services

Revenue growth was driven by volume growth across all mail classes along with higher revenue per piece. The major volume drivers were higher Marketing Mail and Flats processed. EBIT and EBITDA margin percentages increased from prior year and prior quarter primarily due the higher revenue per piece along with lower labor costs.

North America Mailing

Revenue declined on lower equipment sales and recurring revenue streams. The recurring revenue stream decline was driven by lower support services, supplies and financing revenue partially offset by higher business services. EBIT and EBITDA margin percentages were relatively flat to prior year driven by the lower revenue along with higher tariff costs partially offset by lower expenses.

International Mailing

Reported revenue was negatively impacted by the previously announced market exits. Excluding the effect from currency and market exits, the revenue decline was driven by lower services and supplies revenue partially offset by higher rentals revenue. The revenue decline was driven by weakness in the UK and Germany partially offset by growth in France. EBIT and EBITDA margin percentages increased versus prior year driven by lower expenses.

2019 Guidance

The Company is reaffirming its prior annual guidance for 2019. Guidance reflects the shift of the business to the fourth quarter as shipping continues to be a larger part of the portfolio.

  • Revenue, on a constant currency (CC) basis, to be in the range of 1 percent to 3 percent growth when compared to 2018.
  • Adjusted EPS from continuing operations to be in the range of $0.90 to $1.05.
  • Free cash flow to be in the range of $200 million to $250 million.

This guidance discusses future results, which are inherently subject to unforeseen risks and developments. As such, discussions about the business outlook should be read in the context of an uncertain future, as well as the risk factors identified in the safe harbor language at the end of this release and as more fully outlined in the Company's 2018 Form 10-K Annual Report and other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

This guidance excludes any unusual items that may occur or additional portfolio or restructuring actions, not specifically identified, as the Company implements plans to further streamline its operations and reduce costs. Revenue guidance is provided on a constant currency basis. The Company cannot reasonably predict the impact that future changes in currency exchange rates will have on revenue and net income. Additionally, the Company cannot provide GAAP EPS and GAAP cash from operations guidance due to the uncertainty of future potential restructurings, goodwill and asset write-downs, unusual tax settlements or payments, special contributions to its pension funds, acquisitions, divestitures and other potential adjustments, which could, individually or in the aggregate, have a material impact on the Company’s performance. The Company’s guidance is based on an assumption that the global economy and foreign exchange markets in 2019 will not change significantly.

Conference Call and Webcast

Management of Pitney Bowes will discuss the Company’s results in a broadcast over the Internet today at 8:00 a.m. ET. Instructions for listening to the earnings results via the Web are available on the Investor Relations page of the Company’s web site at www.pitneybowes.com.

The Companyalready makes frequent use of its investor relations website to disseminate material information, as well as social media platforms, including Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. Investors, buy and sell-side analysts, media and influencers should note that the Company plans to continue to announce material financial information using the Pitney Bowes investor relations website, SEC filings, and press releases, public conference calls and webcasts. Pitney Bowes is notifying investors, media and others interested in the company that in the future, the Company may choose to communicate material information through its social media channels, or it is possible that information it discloses through social media channels may be deemed to be material. Therefore, Pitney Bowes encourages investors, the media, and others interested in the Company to review the information posted on the Company’s investor relations site (https://www.investorrelations.pitneybowes.com/), Twitter (https://twitter.com/PBnews and https://twitter.com/PitneyBowes), Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/PitneyBowes/), and LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/company/pitney-bowes/). The Company may communicate on social media platforms not listed here as well as create new accounts in the future. Any updates to the list of social media channels Pitney Bowes will use to announce material information will be posted on the Investor Relations page.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

The Company's financial results are reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP); however, in its disclosures the Company uses certain non-GAAP measures, such as adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted earnings per share (EPS), revenue growth on a constant currency basis and free cash flow.

The Company reports measures such as adjusted EBIT, adjusted EPS and adjusted net income to exclude the impact of special items like restructuring charges, tax adjustments, goodwill and asset write-downs, and costs related to dispositions and acquisitions. While these are actual Company expenses, they can mask underlying trends associated with its business. Such items are often inconsistent in amount and frequency and as such, the adjustments allow an investor greater insight into the current underlying operating trends of the business.

In addition, revenue growth is presented on a constant currency basis to exclude the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates since the prior period under comparison. Constant currency measures are intended to help investors better understand the underlying operational performance of the business excluding the impacts of shifts in currency exchange rates over the period. Constant currency is calculated by converting our current quarter reported results using the prior year’s exchange rate for the comparable quarter. In addition, this quarter the Company reported the comparison of revenue excluding the impact of currency and market exits to prior year, which excludes the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates since the prior period and also excludes the revenues associated with the recent market exits in several smaller markets. This comparison allows an investor insight into the underlying revenue performance of the business and true operational performance from a comparable basis to prior period. A reconciliation of reported revenue to constant currency revenue, as well as reported revenue to “revenue excluding the impact of currency and market exits” can be found in the Company’s attached financial schedules.

The Company reports free cash flow in order to provide investors insight into the amount of cash that management could have available for other discretionary uses. Free cash flow adjusts GAAP cash from operations for capital expenditures, restructuring payments, unusual tax settlements, special contributions to the Company’s pension fund and cash used for other special items. A reconciliation of GAAP cash from operations to free cash flow can be found in the Company’s attached financial schedules.

Segment EBIT is the primary measure of profitability and operational performance at the segment level. Segment EBIT is determined by deducting from segment revenue the related costs and expenses attributable to the segment. Segment EBIT excludes interest, taxes, general corporate expenses not allocated to a particular business segment, restructuring charges and goodwill and asset impairments, which are recognized on a consolidated basis. The Company has also included segment EBITDA as a useful measure for profitability and operational performance, and an additional way to look at the economics of the segments, especially in light of some of the Company’s more recent, larger acquisitions. Segment EBITDA further excludes depreciation and amortization expense for the segment. A reconciliation of segment EBIT and EBITDA to net income can be found in the attached financial schedules.

Pitney Bowes has provided a quantitative reconciliation to GAAP in supplemental schedules. This information can be found at the Company's web site www.pb.com/investorrelations
