FOURTH QUARTER 2013 RESULTS

Revenue in the fourth quarter totaled $1.0 billion, growth of 2 percent on both a reported and constant currency basis, when compared to the prior year. The revenue results in the fourth quarter reflected a continuation of the year-over-year improving trends that the Company delivered throughout 2013, resulting in a return to growth. Revenue for the quarter benefited from 17 percent growth on a reported basis and 18 percent growth on a constant currency basis in the Digital Commerce Solutions segment. Revenue also benefited from 3 percent growth in the Enterprise Business Solutions group. In the Small and Medium Business (SMB) Solutions group, revenue declined 3 percent on a reported basis and 2 percent on a constant currency basis. However, the decline was less than in prior years and reflected further stabilization in the SMB business.

Adjusted earnings per diluted share from continuing operations for the fourth quarter were $0.53, which includes a $0.04 per share benefit related to the favorable resolution of certain tax matters.

Fourth quarter earnings per diluted share from continuing operations, on a Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) basis were $0.39, which includes a restructuring charge of $0.11 per share and a charge related to net costs associated with the early retirement of debt of $0.02 per share. GAAP earnings per diluted share for the fourth quarter were $0.44, which includes income of $0.05 per share from discontinued operations.

FULL YEAR 2013 RESULTS

For the full year, revenue totaled $3.9 billion, a decline of one percent when compared to the prior year.

Adjusted earnings per diluted share from continuing operations for the full year were $1.88, which includes a $0.15 per share benefit related to the favorable resolution of certain tax matters realized during the year.

For the full year, GAAP earnings per diluted share from continuing operations were $1.49, which includes a restructuring charge of $0.21 per share, an asset impairment charge of $0.08 per share and extinguishment of debt costs of $0.10 per share.

The Company’s business segment reporting reflects the clients served in each market and the way it manages these segments for growth and profitability. The reporting segment groups are: Small & Medium Business (SMB) Solutions group; Enterprise Business Solutions group; and the Digital Commerce Solutions segment.

The Small and Medium Business (SMB) Solutions group offers mailing equipment, financing, services and supplies for small and medium businesses to efficiently create mail and evidence postage. This group includes the North America Mailing and International Mailing segments. North America Mailing includes the operations of U.S. and Canada Mailing. International Mailing includes all other SMB operations around the world.

The Enterprise Business Solutions group provides mailing equipment and services for large enterprise clients to process mail, including sortation services to qualify large mail volumes for postal worksharing discounts. This group includes the global Production Mail and Presort Services segments.

SMB Solutions Group

                   
      4Q 2013     Y-O-Y Change     Change ex Currency
Revenue     $597 million     (3%)     (2%)
EBIT     $206 million     4%      
                   

Within the SMB Solutions Group:

North America Mailing

      4Q 2013     Y-O-Y Change     Change ex Currency
Revenue     $437 million     (4%)     (4%)
EBIT     $187 million     8%      
                   

Within the North America Mailing results, U.S. equipment sales revenue grew 2 percent versus the prior year, in part benefiting from the new go-to-market strategy. This growth was offset by lower, non-mail equipment sales of multi-functional devices in Canada. Recurring revenue streams declined at a lesser rate than prior year, continuing a year-over-year improvement in trend. Overall, North America Mailing revenue declined at the lowest rate in more than 2 years.

During the quarter, North America Mailing made substantial progress implementing the new go-to-market model, which is enhancing the client experience and improving the sales process while reducing costs. EBIT margin increased versus the prior year as a result of improved gross margins and ongoing cost reduction initiatives.

International Mailing

      4Q 2013     Y-O-Y Change     Change ex Currency
Revenue     $159 million     1%     1%
EBIT     $ 19 million     (24%)      
                   

International Mailing revenue benefited from growth in equipment sales and recurring revenue streams as the international markets continued to experience improving meter population trends. EBIT margin declined versus the prior year due to the mix of products and higher equipment costs related to currency.

Enterprise Business Solutions Group

                   
      4Q 2013     Y-O-Y Change     Change ex Currency
Revenue     $259 million     3%     3%
EBIT     $ 39 million     (12%)      
                   

Within the Enterprise Business Solutions Group:

Worldwide Production Mail

      4Q 2013     Y-O-Y Change     Change ex Currency
Revenue     $151 million     6%     6%
EBIT     $ 21 million     1%      
                   

Production Mail revenue benefited from increased production print installations globally as well as the installation of sortation equipment in Europe. Revenue also benefited from ongoing growth in supplies. EBIT margin was impacted by the proportion of printer sales this quarter, which are lower-margin products.

Presort Services

      4Q 2013     Y-O-Y Change     Change ex Currency
Revenue     $108 million     0%     0%
EBIT     $ 18 million     (23%)      
                   

Presort Services revenue was flat versus the prior year, which is the net result of an increase in new business being offset by a decline in revenue per piece of mail processed. Additionally, EBIT margin declined versus the prior year in part due to increased labor costs associated with processing year-end mail volumes.

Digital Commerce Solutions

 
      4Q 2013     Y-O-Y Change     Change ex Currency
Revenue     $176 million     17%     18%
EBIT     $ 23 million     64%      

Digital Commerce Solutions revenue benefited from continued strong growth in the Company’s ecommerce solutions for cross-border package delivery, as well as growth in services-related software revenue. Revenue growth was partially offset by a decline in marketing services revenue. EBIT margin increased as a result of operating leverage related to the scaling of the ecommerce business, which was partially offset by the continued investment in infrastructure and software development. EBIT margin also benefited from the lower net investment in Volly™.

2014 GUIDANCE

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 2012 Form 10-K Annual Report and other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company expects to further align its business performance in 2014 with the strategy that was outlined at its 2013 Analyst Day. Also the Company expects that there will be no significant changes in the economic or postal environments in 2014 as compared to 2013.

The Company expects:

  • Revenue growth improvement in Digital Commerce Solutions, benefiting from the continued growth in ecommerce and growth in software solutions;
  • Flat to modest revenue growth in Enterprise Business Solutions against a strong 2013 Production Mail comparable;
  • Continued moderation in the revenue decline in SMB Solutions as a result of improving trends in equipment sales and recurring revenue streams;
  • Ongoing reductions in SG&A costs, which are expected to more than offset incremental expenses associated with the investment in a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system;
  • A tax rate in the range of 29 to 31 percent as a result of the Company’s changed business portfolio and business mix.

The Company expects free cash flow in 2014 to be lower than 2013 primarily due to:

  • Less cash from operations as a result of the sale of the Management Services business;
  • Further stabilization of finance receivables;
  • Incremental capital investment related to a new ERP system.

Based on the above assumptions, the Company’s 2014 guidance is as follows:

  • Revenue, excluding the impacts of currency, to be in the range of a one percent decline to two percent growth when compared to 2013;
  • GAAP earnings per diluted share from continuing operations to be in the range of $1.75 to $1.90, which includes $0.10 per share in expenses related to the implementation of a new ERP system;
  • Free cash flow to be in the range of $475 million to $575 million.

This guidance excludes any unusual items that may occur or additional restructuring actions as the Company implements plans to further streamline its operations and reduce costs.

Pitney Bowes: Every connection is a new opportunity™ www.pb.com

The Company's financial results are reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company uses measures such as adjusted earnings per share, adjusted income from continuing operations and free cash flow to exclude the impact of special items like restructuring charges, tax adjustments, and goodwill and asset write-downs, because, while these are actual Company expenses, they can mask underlying trends associated with our 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.

The use of free cash flow provides investors insight into the amount of cash that management could have available for other discretionary uses. It adjusts GAAP cash from operations for capital expenditures, as well as special items like cash used for restructuring charges, unusual tax settlements or payments and contributions to its pension funds. Management uses segment EBIT to measure profitability and performance at the segment level. EBIT is determined by deducting 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. In addition, financial results are 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 intervening period.

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.
