STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 1, 2017-- Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE:PBI), a global technology company providing innovative technology solutions to power commerce, today reported financial results for the third quarter 2017.

Quarterly Financial Results:

• Revenue of $843 million, flat versus prior year.
• GAAP EPS of $0.31; Adjusted EPS of $0.33.
• GAAP cash from operations of $146 million; free cash flow of $109 million.
• The Company is increasing its annual revenue guidance range to reflect the Newgistics acquisition.
• The Company is lowering its annual guidance range for adjusted EPS and free cash flow.
• The Company is announcing a $200 million spend reduction program over the next 2 years.
• The Board of Directors has initiated a review of strategic alternatives for the Company to enhance shareholder value.

Transaction Completed and Debt Management:

• Acquired Newgistics for $475 million; transaction closed on October 2, 2017.
• Issued $400 million of 5 year notes, $300 million of 3 year notes and borrowed $350 million in term loans.
• The Company redeemed its September 2017 notes for $385 million. In October 2017, the Company also redeemed its May 2018 notes for $350 million.

“Our third quarter revenue performance was largely in-line with our expectations; however our bottom line results fell short as we continued to realign our businesses to higher growth areas and invest in new business opportunities, products and solutions,” said Marc B. Lautenbach, President and CEO, Pitney Bowes. “During the third quarter, we validated that the next chapter of revenue growth will come from shipping, parcels and address verification, all of which transcends our entire business. And while I was disappointed in our financial results in the third quarter, I am encouraged about our path forward as we continue to transform our company.”

Lautenbach continued: “We have made substantial progress against our strategic objectives over the past four years and remain committed to improving margins and driving efficiencies throughout the business by deploying a $200 million spend reduction program. The recent acquisition of Newgistics repositions the portfolio towards growth. With the Board of Directors and management team continuing to focus on enhancing shareholder value, we believe now is the time to explore a broad range of strategic alternatives that may have the potential to further unlock shareholder value.”

Revenue totaled $843 million for the quarter, which was flat versus prior year.

Digital Commerce Solutions revenue grew 19 percent and Enterprise Business Solutions revenue increased 1 percent. Small and Medium Business (SMB) Solutions revenue declined 7 percent as reported and 8 percent at constant currency.

GAAP earnings per diluted share (GAAP EPS) were $0.31, which included $0.02 for transaction costs related to the Newgistics acquisition as well as $0.01 for restructuring charges. Adjusted earnings per diluted share (Adjusted EPS) were $0.33.

GAAP Cash from Operations and Free Cash Flow Results

GAAP cash from operations during the quarter was $146 million and free cash flow was $109 million. Compared to the prior year, free cash flow decreased by $11 million primarily due to lower net income offset by favorable working capital, specifically within accounts payable and accrued liabilities. During the quarter, the Company used cash to pay down $385 million of debt, return $35 million in dividends to shareholders and pay $11 million for restructuring payments.

Debt Management

During the quarter, the Company issued $400 million 5 year fixed rate notes, $300 million 3 year fixed rate notes and borrowed $350 million in term loans. The Company used these proceeds together with cash on-hand to fund the Newgistics acquisition and redeem $385 million notes due September 2017. In October 2017, the Company also redeemed the $350 million notes that would have come due in May 2018.

North America Mailing

The Company successfully launched the new SendPro C-Series product line in early September, and as such recognized less than a month of equipment sales from this new product during the quarter. Equipment sales declined largely due to lower sales in the top of the line products, where prior year included a large deal, and this year, a few deals did not close in the quarter. In addition, North America Mailing realized a lower level of client lease extensions, which impacted equipment sales. Recurring revenue streams declined, largely around lower rentals and financing revenue. EBIT margin was lower than prior year largely due to the decline and mix of equipment sales along with the decline in recurring streams.

International Mailing

Revenue declined largely due to lower recurring revenue streams. Equipment sales were relatively flat driven by growth in France and the UK, and offset primarily by weakness in Italy and Japan. EBIT margin decreased slightly from prior year.

Enterprise Business Solutions Group
			($ millions)			Third Quarter
			Revenue			2017		2016		Y/Y Reported			Y/Y Ex Currency
			Production Mail			$104		$106		(2	%)		(3	%)
			Presort Services			119		114		4	%		4	%

			EBIT
			Production Mail			$15		$16		(5	%)
			Presort Services			19		19		2	%
			Enterprise Business			$34		$35		(1	%)

Production Mail

Equipment sales declined versus prior year largely due to lower inserter equipment placements, which were partially offset by higher print equipment sales. Support services revenue was slightly favorable, but offset by a decline in Supplies revenue. EBIT margin declined from prior year primarily as a result of the decline in revenue and the mix of equipment sales.

Presort Services

Revenue growth was driven by improved revenue per piece along with higher Standard Class mail and Parcel volumes processed, but partly offset by lower First Class mail volumes. EBIT margin declined slightly from prior year driven by increased mail processing costs and investments in the Company’s new parcel sortation capabilities.

Digital Commerce Solutions Group
			($ millions)			Third Quarter
			Revenue			2017			2016		Y/Y Reported			Y/Y Ex Currency
			Software Solutions			$99			$89		12	%		11	%

			Global Ecommerce			(10	)		2		> (100	%)
			Digital Commerce			$11			$12		(5	%)

Software Solutions

Revenue growth was driven by higher license revenue, primarily in Location Intelligence and Customer Information Management. License revenue also benefited from a large Location Intelligence deal that closed in the quarter. The Company is continuing to see progress in developing the indirect channel which showed solid growth. EBIT margin increased from prior year largely driven by the higher licensing revenue.

Global Ecommerce

The sustained double-digit revenue growth was driven by strong performance in all of the cross-border geographies, as well as growth in domestic shipping. The domestic shipping increase is driven by end-to-end carrier services enabled by the Company’s shipping API’s. The EBIT loss was driven primarily by investments in market growth opportunities as well as the resolution of a vendor contractual dispute and a specific marketing program with a cross-border client. The Company continues to invest in its cross-border solutions and domestic shipping capabilities.

2017 Guidance

The Company is increasing its annual guidance range for revenue and lowering its annual guidance range for adjusted EPS and free cash flow.

The Company’s guidance for the full year 2017 is now expected to be:

• Revenue, on a constant currency basis, to be in the range of 3 percent to 5 percent growth, when compared to 2016. This has been updated from the previous range of flat to 1 percent as a result of the revenue expected from Newgistics in the fourth quarter.
• Adjusted EPS to be in the range of $1.38 to $1.46. This has been updated from the previous range of $1.70 to $1.78.
• Free cash flow to be in the range of $350 million to $380 million. This has been updated from the previous range of $400 million to $430 million.

The Company is lowering its annual tax range on adjusted earnings. The Company now expects to be in the range of 28 percent to 30 percent as compared to the previous range of 31 percent to 33 percent.

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 2016 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 and 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 2017 will not change significantly.

Review of Strategic Alternatives

The Pitney Bowes Board of Directors, together with management, is conducting a process to explore and evaluate strategic alternatives to further enhance shareholder value. The Board has not set a timetable for the process nor has it made any decisions related to any strategic alternatives at this time. There can be no assurance that the exploration of strategic alternatives will result in any particular outcome. The Company does not intend to provide updates unless or until it determines that further disclosure is appropriate or necessary.

The company has retained Lazard as its financial advisor and Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP as its legal advisor to assist in the process.

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.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

The Company's financial results are reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP); however, in our disclosures we use certain non-GAAP measures, such as adjusted earnings before interest and taxes, Adjusted EPS, revenue growth on a constant currency basis, free cash flow and Segment EBIT.

The Company reports measures such as adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) and Adjusted EPS and adjusted income from continuing operations 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.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 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, 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.

In addition, Management uses segment EBIT to measure profitability and performance at the segment level.Segment EBIT is determined by deducting from 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.A reconciliation of Segment EBIT to the Company’s total Net Income can be found in the Company’s attached financial schedules.

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