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, 2018 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, 2019. 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, 2018 (2018 Annual Report).

Based on their nature, we determined that certain costs previously classified as research and development and cost of business services should be classified in other line items within costs and expenses. Accordingly, the income statement for the three months ended June 30, 2018 has been revised to correct the classification of these costs by reducing research and development expense and cost of business services by $7 million and $3 million, respectively, and increasing selling, general and administrative expense and cost of equipment sales by $7 million and $3 million, respectively. The income statement for the six months ended June 30, 2018 has been revised to correct the classification of these costs by reducing research and development expense and cost of business services by $13 million and $5 million, respectively, and increasing selling, general and administrative expense and cost of equipment sales by $13 million and $5 million, respectively.

The classification of certain costs of revenue recognized in the prior year have been revised to correct and conform to the current year presentation. As a result, in the income statement for the three months ended June 30, 2018, we reduced cost of equipment sales by $1 million and cost of rentals by $1 million, and increased cost of support services by $2 million. In the income statement for the six months ended June 30, 2018, we reduced cost of equipment sales by $3 million and cost of rentals by $2 million, and increased cost of support services by $5 million.

In January 2019, we sold the direct operations and moved to a dealer model in six smaller markets within the International Mailing segment (Market Exits) and recognized a pre-tax loss of $18 million in other (income) expense.

The December 31, 2018 balance sheet has been revised to reduce short-term finance receivables and advance billings by $6 million.

Accounts and other receivables includes other receivables of $101 million at June 30, 2019 and $76 million at December 31, 2018.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted on January 1, 2019

On January 1, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 842, Leases (ASC 842), using the modified retrospective transition approach of applying the standard at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. Accordingly, prior period financial statements have been recast and required disclosures have been provided. We also recorded a cumulative effect adjustment as of January 1, 2017 to reduce retained earnings by $137 million. See Notes 7 and 15 for more information.

From a lessor perspective, the standard simplifies the accounting for lease modifications and aligns accounting of lease contracts with revenue recognition guidance. We continue to classify leases as sales-type or operating, with the determination affecting both the pattern and classification of income recognition. There have been changes in the timing and classification of revenue related to contract modifications. There also have been changes related to the definition of a leased asset, which requires us to account for two lease components as a single lease component. Under prior guidance, one of the components was generally accounted for as a sales-type lease

PITNEY BOWES INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited; table amounts in thousands unless otherwise noted, except per share amounts)

and the second as an operating lease. Under ASC 842, the two components are generally accounted for as a sales-type lease. As a result, certain income and costs are now accelerated that were previously recognized over the life of the lease.

From a lessee perspective, the standard requires us to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for our real estate and equipment operating leases and to provide new disclosures about our leasing activities. We elected the short-term lease recognition exemption and did not recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for leases with a term less than 12 months. We also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for our lessee portfolio.

Updates to significant accounting policies disclosed in our 2018 Annual Report due to the adoption of ASC 842 are discussed below.

Equipment sales: We sell and lease equipment directly to our customers and to distributors (re-sellers) throughout the world. The amount of revenue allocated to the equipment is based on a range of observable selling prices in standalone transactions. We recognize revenue from the sale of equipment under sales-type leases as equipment sales revenue when control of the equipment transfers to the customer, which is upon shipment for self-installed products and upon installation or customer acceptance for other products. We do not typically offer any rights of return.

Rentals: Rentals revenue includes revenue from mailing equipment that does not meet the criteria to be accounted for as a sales-type lease. We may invoice in advance for rentals according to the terms of the agreement. We initially defer these advanced billings and recognize rentals revenue on a straight-line basis over the rental period. Revenue generated from financing clients for the continued use of equipment subsequent to the expiration of the original lease are recognized as rentals revenue.

Financing: We provide lease financing for our products primarily through sales-type leases. We also provide revolving lines of credit for the purchase of postage and supplies. We believe that our sales-type lease portfolio contains only normal collection risk. We record financing income over the lease term using the effective interest method. Financing also includes amounts related to sales-type leases that customers have extended or renewed for an additional term. Revenue for those contracts will be recognized over the term of the modified lease as financing income using the interest method.

Equipment residual values are determined at the inception of the lease using estimates of fair value at the end of the lease term. Fair value estimates are based primarily on historical experience. We also consider forecasted supply and demand for products, product retirement and launch plans, client behavior, regulatory changes, remanufacturing strategies, used equipment markets, competition and technological changes. We evaluate residual values on an annual basis or sooner if circumstances warrant. Declines in estimated residual values considered "other-than-temporary" are recognized immediately. Estimated increases in future residual values are not recognized until the equipment is remarketed.

Support services: Support services revenue includes revenue from equipment service contracts, subscriptions and meter services. Revenue is allocated to these services using selling prices charged in standalone replacement and renewal transactions. Since we have a stand-ready obligation to provide these services over the entire contract term, revenue related to these agreements is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement.

Business services: Business services revenue includes revenue from mail processing services and ecommerce solutions. These services represent a series of distinct services that are similar in nature, and revenue is recognized as the services are provided. We review third party relationships and record revenue on a gross basis when we act as a principal in a transaction or net basis when we act as an agent between a client and vendor. We consider several factors in determining whether we are acting as principal or agent, such as whether we are the primary obligor to the client, have control over the pricing or have inventory risk.

On January 1, 2019, we also adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-08, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities, which shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium, requiring the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software. The ASU aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The standard is effective beginning January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited; table amounts in thousands unless otherwise noted, except per share amounts)

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. The ASU sets forth a current expected credit loss model, which requires companies to measure expected credit losses for all financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonably supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. This standard is effective beginning January 1, 2020. We have completed the scoping of financial assets that will be impacted by the standard and are in the process of developing models to measure expected credit losses. We are continuing to assess the impact this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Our performance obligations are as follows:

Equipment sales and supplies: Our performance obligations generally include the sale of mailing equipment, excluding sales-type leases, and supplies. We recognize revenue upon delivery for self-install equipment and supplies and upon acceptance or installation for other equipment. We provide a warranty that our equipment is free of defects and meets stated specifications. The warranty is not considered a separate performance obligation.

Software: Our performance obligations include the sale of software licenses, maintenance, data products and professional services. Revenue for licenses is generally recognized upon delivery or over time for those licenses that require critical updates over the term of the contract.

Rentals: Our performance obligations include the fees associated with the rental of mailing equipment under an operating lease contract.

Support services: Performance obligations include providing maintenance, professional services, and subscription and meter services for our mailing equipment. Contract terms range from one year to five years, depending on the term of the lease contract for the related equipment. Revenue for maintenance, subscription and meter services is recognized ratably over the contract period and revenue for professional services is recognized when services are provided.

Business services: Our performance obligations include providing mail processing services and ecommerce solutions. Revenue is recognized over time as the services are provided. The contract terms for these services vary, with the initial contracts in the range of one to five years, followed by annual renewal periods.

Revenue from leasing transactions and financing includes revenue from equipment accounted for as sales-type leases, finance income and late fees.

Contract Assets

We record contract assets when performance obligations are satisfied in advance of invoicing the customer when the right to consideration is conditional on the satisfaction of another performance obligation within a contract. Contract assets decreased in the period as the invoicing of performance obligations previously satisfied exceeded the contract assets recognized during the period.

Advance Billings from Contracts with Customers

Advance billings are recorded when cash payments are due in advance of our performance. Items in advance billings primarily relate to support services on equipment and software licenses, subscription services and certain software data products. Revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term.

The net decrease in advance billings at June 30, 2019 is due to revenue recognized during the period in excess of advance billings. Revenue recognized during the period includes $109 million of advance billings at the beginning of the period, partially offset by advance billings in the quarter.

Future Performance Obligations

The transaction prices allocated to future performance obligations will be recognized as follows:

Software Solutions:

Includes the revenue and related expenses from customer engagement, customer information, location intelligence software and data.

Management uses segment earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) to measure profitability and performance at the segment level and believes that it provides investors a useful measure of operating performance and underlying trends of the business. We determine segment EBIT by deducting from segment revenue the related costs and expenses attributable to the segment. Segment EBIT excludes interest, taxes, general corporate expenses, restructuring charges and other items not allocated to a particular business segment. 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 reconciliation of segment EBIT to net income.

7. Finance Assets and Lessor Operating Leases

Finance Assets

Finance receivables are comprised of sales-type lease receivables and unsecured revolving loan receivables. Sales-type lease receivables are generally due in monthly, quarterly or semi-annual installments over periods ranging from three to five years. Loan receivables arise primarily from financing services offered to our clients for postage and supplies. Loan receivables are generally due each month; however, clients may rollover outstanding balances. Interest is recognized on loan receivables using the effective interest method and related annual fees are initially deferred and recognized ratably over the annual period covered. Client acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.

Finance receivables at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 consisted of the following:

We provide an allowance for probable credit losses based on historical loss experience, the nature and volume of our portfolios, adverse situations that may affect a client's ability to pay, prevailing economic conditions and our ability to manage the collateral. We continually evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses and make adjustments 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 credit quality of the client and the type of equipment financed. Our policy is to discontinue revenue recognition for lease receivables that are more than 120 days past due and for loan receivables that are more than 90 days past due. We resume revenue recognition when the client's payments reduce the account aging to less than 60 days past due. Finance receivables deemed uncollectible are written off against the allowance after all collection efforts have been exhausted and management deems the account to be uncollectible. As of June 30, 2019, we believe that our finance receivable 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 the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was as follows:

Credit Quality

The extension of credit and management of credit lines to new and existing clients uses a combination of an automated credit score, where available, and a detailed manual review of the client's financial condition and, when applicable, payment history. 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. The portfolio management processes are in place to track that our global strategy is executed, collection resources are allocated appropriately and enhanced tools and processes are implemented as needed.

We use a third party to score the majority of the North America portfolio on a quarterly basis using a commercial credit score. We do not use a third party to score our International portfolio because the cost to do so is prohibitive, given that it is a localized process, and there is no single credit score model that covers all countries.

The table below shows the North America portfolio at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 by relative risk class based on the relative scores of the accounts within each class. The relative scores are determined based on a number of factors, including the company type, ownership structure, payment history and financial information. A fourth class is shown for accounts that are not scored. Absence of a score is not indicative of the credit quality of the account. The degree of risk (low, medium, high), as defined by the third party, refers to the relative risk that an account may become delinquent in the next 12 months.


•	Low risk accounts are companies with very good credit scores and are considered to approximate the top 30% of all commercial borrowers.


•	Medium risk accounts are companies with average to good credit scores and are considered to approximate the middle 40% of all commercial borrowers.


•	High risk accounts are companies with poor credit scores, are delinquent or are at risk of becoming delinquent and are considered to approximate the bottom 30% of all commercial borrowers.

9. 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 at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Investment Securities

The valuation of investment securities is based on the 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 into the fair value hierarchy:

•

Money Market Funds / Commercial Paper: 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. Direct investments in commercial paper are not listed on an exchange in an active market and are classified as Level 2.


•	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 where active, high volume trades for identical securities exist. Valuation adjustments are not applied to these securities. 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 Securities / 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 are classified as available-for-sale and recorded at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). Available-for-sale investment securities are predominantly held at the Pitney Bowes Bank, whose primary business is to provide financing solutions to clients that rent postage meters and purchase supplies.

The aggregate unrealized holding losses of investment securities in a loss position at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were as follows:



	June 30, 2019				December 31, 2018
	Fair Value		Gross unrealized losses		Fair Value		Gross unrealized losses
Less than 12 continuous months	$	502	$	2	$	48,318	$	847
Greater than 12 continuous months	56,970		670		177,331		4,355
Total	$	57,472	$	672	$	225,649	$	5,202

We have not recognized an other-than-temporary impairment on any of the investment securities in an unrealized loss position because 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 June 30, 2019 were as follows:



	Amortized cost		Estimated fair value
Within 1 year	$	47,535	$	47,589
After 1 year through 5 years	68,901		69,407
After 5 years through 10 years	34,951		36,121
After 10 years	70,126		71,012
Total	$	221,513	$	224,129

The scheduled maturities of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may not coincide with the actual payment, as borrowers have the right to prepay obligations.

We have not experienced any significant write-offs in our investment portfolio. The majority of our mortgage-backed securities are either guaranteed or supported by the U.S. Government. We have no investments in inactive markets that would warrant a possible change in our pricing methods or classification within the fair value hierarchy.

Derivative Instruments

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. We mitigate these exposures by following established risk management policies and procedures, including the use of derivatives. We use derivative instruments to limit the effects of exchange rate fluctuations on financial results and manage the cost of debt. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. We record derivative instruments at fair value and the accounting for changes in the fair value depends on the intended use of the derivative, the resulting designation and the effectiveness of the instrument in offsetting the risk exposure it is designed to hedge.

Foreign Exchange Contracts

We enter into foreign exchange contracts to mitigate the currency risk associated with the anticipated purchase of inventory between affiliates and from third parties. These contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. The effective portion of the gain or loss on cash flow hedges is included in AOCI in the period that the change in fair value occurs and is reclassified to earnings in the period that the hedged item is recorded in earnings. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had outstanding contracts associated with these anticipated transactions with notional amounts of $9 million and $8 million, respectively.

The valuation of foreign exchange derivatives is based on the market approach using observable market inputs, such as foreign currency spot and forward rates and yield curves. We have not seen a material change in the creditworthiness of those banks acting as derivative counterparties in the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Interest Rate Swap

We had an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $300 million to mitigate the interest rate risk associated with $300 million of variable-rate term loans. This swap matured in September 2018. While outstanding, the swap was designated as a cash flow hedge and the effective portion of the gain or loss on the cash flow hedge was included in AOCI in the period that the change in fair value occurred and reclassified to earnings in the period that the hedged item was recorded in earnings.

The fair value of derivative instruments at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was as follows:



Designation of Derivatives	Balance Sheet Location	June 30, 2019			December 31, 2018
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments
Foreign exchange contracts	Other current assets and prepayments	$	51		$	61
	Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	(190		)	(104		)

Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments
Foreign exchange contracts	Other current assets and prepayments	294			1,970
	Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	(107		)	(631		)

	Total derivative assets	$	345		$	2,031
	Total derivative liabilities	(297		)	(735		)
	Total net derivative asset	$	48		$	1,296

The majority of the amounts included in AOCI at June 30, 2019 will be recognized in earnings within the next 12 months. No amount of ineffectiveness was recorded in earnings for these designated cash flow hedges.

We enter into foreign exchange contracts to minimize the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on short-term intercompany loans and related interest that are denominated in a foreign currency. The revaluation of intercompany loans and interest and the corresponding mark-to-market adjustment on derivatives are recorded in earnings. The table below represents the mark-to-market adjustments of non-designated derivative instruments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. All outstanding contracts at June 30, 2019 mature within 12 months.

Credit-Risk-Related Contingent Features

Certain derivative instruments contain credit-risk-related contingent features that require us to post collateral based on a combination of our long-term senior unsecured debt ratings and the net fair value of our derivatives. At June 30, 2019, we had no cash collateral posted.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, investment securities, accounts receivable, loan receivables, derivative instruments, accounts payable and debt. The carrying value for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, loans receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

The carrying value and estimated fair value of our debt at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were as follows:



	June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018

Long-term debt		$	3,029,246	$	3,066,073

Interest rates on certain notes are subject to adjustment based on changes in our credit ratings. In April 2019, Moody's lowered our corporate credit rating from Ba1 to Ba2. As a result, the interest rate on the May 2022 notes increased 0.25% in the quarter and the interest rates on the September 2020 notes, October 2021 notes and April 2023 notes will increase 0.25% effective after the next interest payment date.

During the first half of 2019, we repaid $25 million of principal related to our term loans.

⁽¹⁾Approximately $0.7 million and $0.3 million of total settlement charges were recorded in restructuring charges and discontinued operations, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

13. Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was 11.9% and 13.6%, respectively. These rates include benefits from the resolution of certain tax examinations of $4 million and $3 million, respectively.

The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was 30.1% and 20.8%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 includes a $2 million tax on the $18 million book loss from Market Exits, primarily due to nondeductible basis differences. The effective tax rate for each of the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 includes a benefit of $6 million from the resolution of certain tax examinations and a charge of $2 million from the write-off of deferred tax assets associated with the expiration of out-of-the-money vested stock options and the vesting of restricted stock.

At December 31, 2018, we had a deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $142 million. It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months, there may be sufficient positive evidence to release approximately $20 million of the valuation allowance. The release of this allowance would result in a decrease to income tax expense.

(Unaudited; table amounts in thousands unless otherwise noted, except per share amounts)

As is the case with other large corporations, our tax returns are examined by tax authorities in the U.S. and other global taxing jurisdictions in which we have operations. 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 30% of our unrecognized tax benefits.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) examinations of our consolidated U.S. income tax returns for tax years prior to 2017 are closed to audit; however, various post-2011 U.S. state and local tax returns are still subject to examination. In Canada, the examination of our tax filings prior to 2014 are closed to audit. Other significant jurisdictions include France (closed through 2014), Germany (closed through 2016) and the U.K. (except for an item under appeal, closed through 2016). We also have other less significant tax filings currently subject to examination.

14. Commitments and Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, we are routinely defendants in, or party to, a number of pending and threatened legal actions. These may involve litigation by or against us relating 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 employees, customers or others. In management's opinion, the potential liability, if any, that may result from these actions, either individually or collectively, is not reasonably expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows as of June 30, 2019. However, as litigation is inherently unpredictable, there can be no assurances in this regard.

In August 2018, the Company, certain of its directors, officers and several banks who served as underwriters, were named as defendants in City of Livonia Retiree Health and Disability Benefits Plan v. Pitney Bowes Inc. et al., a putative class action lawsuit filed in Connecticut state court. The complaint asserts claims under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on behalf of those who purchased notes issued by the Company in connection with a September 13, 2017 offering, alleging, among other things, that the Company failed to make certain disclosures relating to components of its third quarter 2017 performance at the time of the notes offering. The complaint seeks compensatory damages and other relief. In addition, in December 2018 and then in February 2019, certain of the Company’s officers and directors were named as defendants in two virtually identical derivative actions purportedly brought on behalf of the Company, Clem v. Lautenbach et al. and Devolin v. Lautenbach et al. These two actions, both filed by the same counsel in Connecticut state court, allege, among other things, breaches of fiduciary duty relating to these same disclosures, and seek compensatory damages and other relief derivatively for the benefit of the Company. Although litigation outcomes are inherently unpredictable, we believe these matters are without merit and intend to defend them vigorously. A reasonable estimate of the amount of any possible loss or range of loss cannot be made at this time.

15. Leased Assets and Liabilities

We lease real estate and equipment under operating and finance lease agreements. Our leases have terms of up to 15 years, some of which may include the option to extend the lease for up to 5 years. At lease commencement, we record a lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset. Lease liabilities represent the present value of our future lease payments over the expected lease term, which includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain those options will be exercised. Lease payments include fixed payments and variable payments that are tied to an index. Variable payments not tied to an index are excluded from the right-of-use asset and lease liability and primarily include common area maintenance charges, property taxes, insurance and mileage. The present value of our lease liability is determined using our incremental borrowing rate at lease inception. Information regarding our operating and financing leases are as follows:

Overview

Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification 842, Leases, using the modified retrospective transition approach of applying the standard at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. Accordingly, prior period financial results have been recast (see Note 1).

We continue our transformation to higher growth markets that align with our focus on reducing the complexity of mailing and shipping. Commerce Services was the largest contributor of revenue and accounted for 48% of revenue for the current quarter compared to 42% from the prior year period.

In January 2019, we sold the direct operations and moved to a dealer model in six smaller markets within the International Mailing segment (Market Exits). We recorded a pre-tax loss on the sale of $18 million, primarily due to the write-off of cumulative translation adjustments.

Financial Results Summary - Three Months Ended June 30:



	2019		2018		Change
Revenue	$	860,779	$	865,240	(1)%
Segment earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT)	$	126,626	$	158,235	(20)%
Income from continuing operations	$	30,278	$	50,387	(40)%
Diluted earnings per share - continuing operations	$	0.17	$	0.27	(37)%

Revenue decreased 1% from the prior year period; however, this included a 2% unfavorable impact from Market Exits and an additional 1% unfavorable impact from foreign currency. Software revenue declined 21% in the quarter due to a lower level of license renewals. Supplies revenue declined 16% due to a worldwide decline in our mailing business. Business services revenue increased 13% due to growth in Commerce Services, partially offsetting these declines.

Commerce Services revenue grew 13%, driven by growth of 18% in Global Ecommerce and 4% in Presort Services. Small and Medium Business (SMB) Solutions revenue declined 8%, with North America Mailing declining 5% and International Mailing declining 20%. Market Exits and currency adversely impacted International Mailing revenue by 12% and 5%, respectively. Software Solutions revenue declined 21%.

Segment EBIT declined 20% from the prior year period as Software Solutions EBIT declined 89%, primarily due to a lower level of license renewals. Within Commerce Services, Global Ecommerce reported an EBIT loss of $16 million compared to a loss of $6 million in the prior year, driven by a shift in the mix of business to faster growing, lower margin services and investments in market growth opportunities. Presort EBIT increased 23%, primarily due to higher volumes and revenue per piece improvement. SMB EBIT declined 6% due to the decline in revenue and impact of Market Exits.

Income from continuing operations declined in the quarter, primarily due to a decline in gross margins and revenue. This decline was partially offset by lower operating expenses and a lower effective tax rate.

Financial Results Summary - Six Months Ended June 30:



	2019		2018		Change
Revenue	$	1,729,181	$	1,761,823	(2)%
Segment earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT)	$	251,187	$	324,632	(23)%
Income from continuing operations	$	28,849	$	101,870	(72)%
Diluted earnings per share - continuing operations	$	0.16	$	0.54	(70)%
Net cash provided by operations	$	86,782	$	154,493	(44)%

For the year-to-date period, revenue decreased 2% from the prior year period, primarily due to unfavorable impacts of 1% from each of currency and Market Exits. Business services revenue increased 9% due to growth in Commerce Services; however, this increase was more than offset by declines in all other revenue lines due to declines in our mailing business and lower software license revenue.

Commerce Services revenue grew 9%, driven by growth of 13% in Global Ecommerce and 2% in Presort Services. SMB Solutions revenue declined 9%, with North America Mailing declining 6% and International Mailing declining 20%. Market Exits and currency adversely impacted International Mailing revenue by 10% and 5%, respectively. Software Solutions revenue declined 13%.

Segment EBIT declined 23% from the prior year period. Within Commerce Services, Global Ecommerce reported an EBIT loss of $30 million compared to a loss of $14 million in the prior year, and Presort Services EBIT declined 23%. The decline in Global Ecommerce was driven by a shift in the mix of business to faster growing, lower margin services, investments in market growth opportunities and higher labor, transportation and postal costs. The decline in Presort Services was primarily due to higher labor and transportation costs and lower revenue per piece. SMB EBIT declined 11% due to the decline in revenue, increased tariff costs and a charge related to a SendPro C tablet replacement program to address an underlying battery longevity issue. Software Solutions EBIT declined 82% due to the decline in revenue.

Income from continuing operations for the first six months of 2019 declined compared to the prior year period, primarily due to lower margins and revenue and a pre-tax loss of $18 million from Market Exits.

Outlook

We are taking actions that we expect will set the foundation to drive long-term value, including new client value offerings and spend optimization. We expect revenue to continue to grow as we transform our portfolio to growth markets.

Within Global Ecommerce, we expect continued revenue growth from our investments in the expansion of our domestic parcel business and domestic shipping solutions. We anticipate higher shipping volumes during the second half of 2019 as we enter the holiday season. We expect revenue and EBIT growth in Presort Services due to higher volumes, improving margins and operational efficiencies.

In SMB Solutions, we expect continued declines in revenue due to lower mail volumes, lower lease opportunities and a declining meter population. However, we expect the magnitude of the decline to be mitigated by the introduction of new services and products, the continued success of our SendPro C product in North America, planned launches in several international markets and by identifying opportunities through natural adjacencies in the business. EBIT and equipment sales margins have been impacted by trade tariffs, and we expect these tariffs to continue to adversely impact the SMB business in the second half of the year.

We are now offering expanded third-party equipment financing alternatives, primarily to our existing SMB clients in the United States, to finance or lease other manufacturers' equipment to meet their business needs. We expect that cash flows will be negatively impacted during the year as we invest in the origination of third-party equipment leases and build a finance receivable portfolio.

Within Software Solutions, we expect continued benefits from our partner channel. We expect revenue growth will be driven by a combination of sales opportunities from customer information, location intelligence, data and customer engagement.

We expect continued progress in our efforts to improve productivity and reduce spend. Over the last five years, we have transformed to a more digital operating model and have reduced our cost structure. In 2017, we announced our intention to reduce gross spend by $200 million over a 24-month period. We achieved over $150 million of this target in 2018 and expect to recognize the remainder in 2019. A large portion of these gross savings has been, and will continue to be, reinvested in the business, particularly in Commerce Services and our third-party equipment financing initiative.

Revenue - 2019 compared to 2018

In this revenue discussion, we may refer to revenue growth on a constant currency basis. Constant currency measures exclude the impact of changes in currency exchange rates since the prior period under comparison. We believe that excluding the impacts of currency exchange rates provides a better understanding of the underlying revenue performance. Constant currency change is calculated by converting the current period non-U.S. dollar denominated revenue using the prior year’s exchange rate. Where constant currency measures are not provided, the actual change and constant currency change are the same.

Equipment sales in the quarter decreased 9% as reported and 7% at constant currency. Equipment sales in North America Mailing accounted for 5% of the decrease, primarily due to lower sales of our bottom-of-the-line products. International Mailing equipment sales accounted for 2% of the decline, mainly due to Market Exits.

Equipment sales in the first half of 2019 decreased 13% as reported and 11% at constant currency. Equipment sales in North America Mailing accounted for 8% of the decrease primarily due to lower sales of our bottom-of-the-line products. International Mailing equipment sales accounted for 3% of the decline mainly due to Market Exits.

Supplies revenue decreased 16% as reported in the quarter and first half of 2019. At constant currency, supplies decreased 15% in the quarter and 14% in the first half of 2019. Market Exits accounted for 5% and 4% of the decline in the quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively, and the remainder of the decline was due to a worldwide decline in our mailing business.

Software revenue decreased 21% as reported and 20% at constant currency in the quarter, primarily due to lower license revenue partially offset by higher data updates revenue. Software revenue decreased 13% as reported and 11% at constant currency in the first half of 2019, primarily due to lower license revenue, as the prior year period benefited from a large Location Intelligence deal, partially offset by higher data updates and SaaS revenue.

Rentals revenue declined 5% as reported and 4% at constant currency in the quarter and decreased 9% as reported and 7% at constant currency in the first half of 2019, primarily due to a worldwide decline in our meter population.

Financing revenue decreased 5% as reported and 4% at constant currency in the quarter, and decreased 4% as reported and 3% at constant currency in the first half of 2019, primarily due to a declining portfolio. Market Exits accounted for 1% of the decline in the quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively.

Support services revenue decreased 8% as reported and 7% at constant currency in both the quarter and first half of 2019, primarily due to a worldwide decline in our meter population.

Business services revenue increased 13% as reported and 14% at constant currency in the quarter and increased 9% in the first half of 2019, primarily due to growth in domestic parcel and shipping solutions volumes, partially offset by lower cross border volumes.

Cost of Revenue - 2019 compared to 2018

Cost of revenue as a percent of revenue in the quarter increased to 57.1% from 52.5% in the prior year period. Cost of equipment sales as a percent of equipment revenue increased to 68.5% from 62.8%. During the quarter, higher tariffs impacted equipment sales margins by 2 percentage points and higher engineering costs impacted equipment sales margins by 1 percentage point. The remaining decline was mainly due to product mix. Cost of software as a percent of software revenue increased to 32.4% from 29.4%, primarily due to the decline in license revenue. Cost of rentals as a percent of rentals revenue increased to 45.6% from 43.5%, primarily due to the decline in revenue.

Cost of revenue as a percent of revenue in the first half of 2019 increased to 56.8% from 52.3% in the prior year period. Cost of equipment sales as a percent of equipment revenue increased to 69.7% from 60.6%. In the first quarter, we recorded a charge related to a SendPro C tablet replacement program to address an underlying battery longevity issue. This adversely impacted equipment sales margins by five percentage points. In addition, the impact of tariffs reduced equipment sales margins one percentage point and higher engineering costs adversely impacted equipment sales margins by just under one percentage point. Costs of business services as a percent of business services revenue increased to 80.6% from 77.3%, primarily due to higher labor, transportation and postal costs.

We allocate a portion of our total cost of borrowing to financing interest expense. In computing financing interest expense, we assume an 8:1 debt to equity leverage ratio and apply our overall effective interest rate to the average outstanding finance receivables.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A)

SG&A expense of $279 million in the quarter decreased 4% compared to the prior period, primarily due to lower professional fees of $8 million and lower bad debt expense of $5 million. SG&A expense of $580 million for the first half of 2019, decreased 2% compared to the prior period, primarily due to lower employee-related costs of $18 million and lower professional fees of $7 million.

Research and development (R&D)

R&D expense decreased 4% in the quarter and 8% in the first half of 2019, primarily due to lower spending in Global Ecommerce.

Restructuring charges and asset impairments, net

Restructuring charges and asset impairments, net in the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 were $7 million and $11 million, respectively. These charges consisted of $6 million and $10 million, respectively, of restructuring related charges and $1 million of asset impairment charges. Restructuring charges and asset impairments, net in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were $12 million and consisted of restructuring related charges. See Note 10 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Global Ecommerce

Global Ecommerce revenue increased 18% as reported and 19% at constant currency in the quarter and 13% as reported and 14% at constant currency in the first half of 2019 primarily due to growth in domestic parcel and shipping solutions volumes, partially offset by lower cross border volumes. EBIT for the quarter was a loss of $16 million compared to a loss of $6 million in the prior year and EBIT for the first half of 2019 was a loss of $30 million compared to a loss of $14 million in the prior year period. The higher loss was primarily driven by a decline in margins as the business continues to shift to faster growing, lower margin services plus continued investments in market growth opportunities, including marketing programs and new facilities, and higher labor costs. EBIT for the first half of the year was also impacted by higher postal costs in the first quarter due to a temporary delay in the approval of our Negotiated Service Agreement with the USPS.

Presort Services

Presort Services revenue increased 4% in the quarter. Higher volumes of mail processed contributed 2% of the increase, product mix contributed 1% of the increase and higher revenue per piece, primarily related to First Class mail, contributed an additional 1%. EBIT increased 23% in the quarter, primarily due to the increase in revenue and lower labor costs of $1 million, partially offset by higher consulting fees of $1 million.

Presort Services revenue increased 2% in the first half of 2019, primarily due to higher volumes of mail processed. EBIT decreased 23% in the first half of 2019, primarily due to higher transportation costs of $3 million, higher consulting fees of $3 million and higher bad debt expense of $2 million.

North America Mailing

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We believe that existing cash and investments, cash generated from operations and borrowing capacity through the capital markets will be sufficient to support our current cash needs, including discretionary uses such as capital investments, dividends, strategic acquisitions and share repurchases. Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were $831 million at June 30, 2019 and $927 million at December 31, 2018. We continuously review our credit profile through published credit ratings and the credit default swap market. We also monitor the creditworthiness of those banks acting as derivative counterparties, depository banks or credit providers.

Cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries were $165 million at June 30, 2019 and $189 million at December 31, 2018, and are generally used to support the liquidity needs of these subsidiaries.

Cash Flow Summary

Changes in cash and cash equivalents for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities in the first half of 2019 declined $68 million compared to the prior year period. Cash flows from continuing operations decreased $19 million, primarily due to lower income from continuing operations of $73 million, partially offset by lower restructuring payments of $13 million, a non-cash loss on Market Exits of $18 million, and working capital changes of $22 million, primarily related to collection of accounts receivable and the timing of payments of accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Cash flows from discontinued operations declined $49 million as we sold the Production Mail Business in July 2018.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities in the first half of 2019 was $36 million, consisting primarily of capital expenditures of $61 million and a decline in reserve account balances of $8 million partially offset by net proceeds of $47 million from investment activities. Cash used in investing activities in the first half of 2018 was $81 million, consisting primarily of capital expenditures of $79 million.

Financing Activities

In the first half of 2019, cash used in financing activities included $100 million to repurchase 17.4 million shares of common stock, $25 million to repay term loan debt and $18 million of common stock dividend payments.

In the first half of 2018, cash was used to repay $260 million of debt and pay dividends of $70 million. Cash used in financing activities was also impacted by the settlement of $46 million related to a timing difference between our investing excess cash at the subsidiary level and our funding of an intercompany transfer at year end.

Financings and Capitalization

We are a "Well-Known Seasoned Issuer" within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, which allows us to issue debt securities, preferred stock, preference stock, common stock, purchase contracts, depositary shares, warrants and units in an expedited fashion. We have a committed credit facility of $1 billion that expires in January 2021. As of June 30, 2019, we have not drawn upon the credit facility.

In July 2019, we extended the maturity date of a $150 million term loan from August 2019 to November 2019.

Dividends and Share Repurchases

In February 2019, our Board of Directors approved an incremental $100 million for share repurchases, raising our authorization level to $121 million. During the first half of 2019, we repurchased 17.4 million shares at an aggregate cost of $100 million. At June 30, 2019, we had remaining authorization to repurchase up to $21 million of our common shares. Also, during the first half of the year, we paid dividends of $18 million. Each quarter, our Board of Directors considers our recent and projected earnings and other capital needs and priorities in deciding whether to approve the payment, as well as the amount, of a dividend. There are no material restrictions on our ability to declare dividends.

In June 2019, we redeemed of all of the outstanding shares of 4% Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock (Preferred Stock) and $2.12 Convertible Preference Stock (Preference Stock). The redemption of these shares did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At June 30, 2019, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Goodwill

Based on the year-to-date operating results of our Global Ecommerce reporting unit, we performed a goodwill impairment test to assess the adequacy of the carrying value of goodwill. As a result of our test, we determined that the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by less than 20%. The assumptions used to estimate fair value were based on projections incorporated in our current operating plans as well as other available information. By their nature, projections are uncertain. Potential events and circumstances, such as declining revenue, loss of client contracts and inability to acquire new clients could have an adverse effect on our assumptions.

The goodwill balance related to the Global Ecommerce reporting unit at June 30, 2019 was $609 million. We will continue to monitor and evaluate the carrying value of goodwill for this reporting unit, and should facts and circumstances change, a non-cash impairment charge could be recorded in the future.

Property, Plant and Equipment, net

Included in property, plant and equipment, net is $37 million of capitalized software related to the development of a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system in certain of our international markets. In connection with recent market exits in six international markets and transition to higher growth markets, we are currently reviewing our international infrastructure, including ERP system scope and implementation plans. The time period required to successfully implement a large scale ERP, as well as potential changes to our infrastructure, could necessitate a reduced implementation footprint and impact our ability to fully recover the value of this asset.

Regulatory Matters

There have been no significant changes to the regulatory matters disclosed in our 2018 Annual Report.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There were no material changes to the disclosures made in our 2018 Annual Report.

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to reasonably ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), to allow timely decisions regarding disclosures.

With the participation of our CEO and CFO, management evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) and internal controls over financial reporting. Our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, such disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods. In addition, no changes in internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter covered by this report that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, such internal control over financial reporting. It should be noted that any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions designed to obtain reasonable (and not absolute) assurance as to its effectiveness, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals. Notwithstanding this caution, the CEO and CFO have reasonable assurance that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2019.
