1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

Pitney Bowes Inc. (we, us, our, or the company) is a global shipping and mailing company that provides technology, logistics, and financial services to small and medium sized businesses, large enterprises, including more than 90 percent of the Fortune 500, retailers and government clients around the world. These clients rely on us to remove the complexity and increase the efficiency in their sending of mail and parcels. For additional information, visit www.pitneybowes.com.

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, 2021 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, 2022. 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, 2021 (2021 Annual Report).

Effective July 1, 2022, we sold our Borderfree cross-border ecommerce solutions business (Borderfree) that was reported in the Global Ecommerce segment. Prior year results have not been recast to exclude the revenue and expenses from Borderfree, impacting the comparison of current year results to the prior year periods. Accordingly, no revenue was recognized for Borderfree in the third quarter of 2022, whereas revenue for the third quarter of 2021 includes $14 million from Borderfree. Net income of Borderfree for the third quarter of 2021 was not significant.

Pre-tax income for the three months ended September 30, 2022 included a charge of $2 million and pre-tax income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 included a benefit of $3 million to correct misstatements related to prior periods. The impact of these misstatements was not material to the consolidated financial statements for any prior quarterly or annual periods, and is not expected to be material to the current annual period.

Risks and Uncertainties

The effects of COVID-19 and the risk of a global recession continues to impact how we and our clients conduct business. The impacts on our business remain unpredictable and accordingly, we are not able to reasonably estimate the full extent of their impact on our operating results, financial position and cash flows.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The transition to new reference interest rates will require certain contracts to be modified and the ASU is intended to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The accommodations provided by the ASU are effective through December 31, 2022, and may be applied at the beginning of any interim period within that time frame.

We have matched LIBOR-based debt with LIBOR-based interest rate swaps and have elected to apply the practical expedient related to probability and the assessment of the effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows, which assumes that the debt instrument will use the same index rate as its corresponding interest rate swap once a new reference rate is established to replace LIBOR. We may apply other expedients as additional reference rate changes occur. We continue to assess the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures, which requires disclosure of gross write-offs and recoveries of finance receivables by year of origination. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact this standard will have on our financial statement disclosures.

Our performance obligations for revenue from products and services are as follows:

Business services includes fulfillment, delivery and return services, cross-border solutions, mail processing services and shipping subscription solutions. Revenue for fulfillment, delivery and return services and cross-border solutions and mail processing services is recognized over time using an output method based on the number of parcels or mail pieces either processed or delivered, depending on the service type, since that measure best depicts the value of goods and services transferred to the client over the contract period. Contract terms for these services initially range from one to five years and contain annual renewal options. Revenue for shipping subscription solutions revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period as the client obtains equal benefit from these services through the period.

Support services includes providing maintenance, professional and subscription services for our equipment and digital mailing and shipping technology solutions. Contract terms range from one to five years, depending on the term of the lease contract for the related equipment. Revenue for maintenance and subscription services is recognized ratably over the contract period and revenue for professional services is recognized when services are provided.

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

Supplies includes revenue from supplies for our mailing equipment and is recognized upon delivery.

Revenue from leasing transactions and financing includes revenue from sales-type and operating leases, finance income, late fees and investment income, gains and losses at the Bank.

3. Segment Information

Our reportable segments are Global Ecommerce, Presort Services and SendTech Solutions. The principal products and services of each reportable segment are as follows:

Global Ecommerce: Includes the revenue and related expenses from business to consumer logistics services for domestic and cross-border delivery, returns and fulfillment.

Presort Services: Includes revenue and related expenses from sortation services to qualify large volumes of First Class Mail, Marketing Mail, Marketing Mail Flats and Bound Printed Matter for postal worksharing discounts.

SendTech Solutions: Includes the revenue and related expenses from physical and digital mailing and shipping technology solutions, financing, services, supplies and other applications to help simplify and save on the sending, tracking and receiving of letters, parcels and flats.

Management measures segment profitability and performance using segment earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT). Segment EBIT is calculated by deducting from segment revenue the related costs and expenses attributable to the segment. Segment EBIT excludes interest, taxes, unallocated corporate expenses, restructuring charges, asset and goodwill impairment charges and other items not allocated to a business segment. Costs related to shared assets are allocated to the relevant segments. Management believes that segment EBIT provides investors a useful measure of operating performance and underlying trends of the business. Segment EBIT may not be indicative of our overall consolidated performance and therefore, should be read in conjunction with our consolidated results of operations. The following tables provide information about our reportable segments and a reconciliation of segment EBIT to net income (loss).

6. Finance Assets and Lessor Operating Leases

Finance Assets

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

Allowance for Credit Losses

We provide an allowance for credit losses based on historical loss experience, the nature of our portfolios, adverse situations that may affect a client's ability to pay and current economic conditions and outlook based on reasonable and supportable forecasts. We continually evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses and adjust as necessary. The assumptions used in determining an estimate of credit losses are inherently subjective and actual results may differ significantly from estimated reserves.

We established credit approval limits based on the credit quality of the client and the type of equipment financed. We cease recognition of financing revenue for lease receivables greater than 120 days past due and for unsecured loan receivables greater than 90 days past due. Revenue recognition is resumed when the client's payments reduce the account aging to less than 60 days past due. Finance receivables are written off against the allowance after all collection efforts have been exhausted and management deems the account to be uncollectible. We believe that our credit risk is low because of the geographic and industry diversification of our clients and small account balances for most of our clients.

Credit Quality

The extension of credit and management of credit lines to new and existing clients uses a combination of a client's credit score, where available, a detailed manual review of their financial condition and payment history, or an automated process. Once credit is granted, the payment performance of the client is managed through automated collections processes and is supplemented with direct follow up should an account become delinquent. We have robust automated collections and extensive portfolio management processes to ensure that our global strategy is executed, collection resources are allocated and enhanced tools and processes are implemented as needed.

Over 85% of our finance receivables are within the North American portfolio. We use a third-party to score the majority of this portfolio on a quarterly basis using a proprietary commercial credit score. The relative scores are determined based on a number of factors, including financial information, payment history, company type and ownership structure. We stratify the third party's credit scores of our clients into low, medium and high-risk accounts. Due to timing and other issues, our entire portfolio may not be scored at period end. We report these amounts as "Not Scored"; however, absence of a score is not indicative of the credit quality of the account. The third-party credit score is used to predict the payment behaviors of our clients and the probability that an account will become greater than 90 days past due during the subsequent 12-month period.

•Low risk accounts are companies with very good credit scores and a predicted delinquency rate of less than 5%.

•Medium risk accounts are companies with average to good credit scores and a predicted delinquency rate between 5% and 10%.

•High risk accounts are companies with poor credit scores, are delinquent or are at risk of becoming delinquent. The predicted delinquency rate would be greater than 10%.

We do not use a third-party to score our International portfolio because the cost to do so is prohibitive as there is no single credit score model that covers all countries. Accordingly, the entire International portfolio is reported in the Not Scored category. This portfolio comprises less than 15% of total finance receivables. Most of the International credit applications are small dollar applications (i.e. below $50 thousand) and are subjected to an automated review process. Larger credit applications are manually reviewed, which includes obtaining client financial information, credit reports and other available financial information.

In the second quarter of 2022, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell the Borderfree business. The sale closed on July 1, 2022 and we received proceeds of $93 million, net of cash transferred, and recognized a pre-tax gain of $4 million (see Note 16). During the quarter, we also received additional proceeds of $7 million related to the 2021 sale of a business and recognized a pre-tax gain of $4 million and acquired Pittsburgh Mailing Systems, Inc. for $1 million, which is reported in our Presort Services segment.

Goodwill

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment at the reporting unit level during the fourth quarter or sooner if circumstances indicate an impairment may exist. The impairment test for goodwill determines the fair value of each reporting unit and compares it to the reporting unit's carrying value, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to that reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and no further testing is required. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, the goodwill impairment loss is calculated as the difference between these amounts, limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.

We determined that the agreement to sell Borderfree was a triggering event that indicated an impairment may exist. Accordingly, we performed a goodwill impairment test of the Global Ecommerce reporting unit to assess the recoverability of goodwill. We engaged a third-party to assist in the determination of the fair value of the reporting unit.

The results of our test indicated that no impairment existed; however, the estimated fair value of the Global Ecommerce reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by less than 20%. The determination of fair value relied on internal projections developed using numerous estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties. These estimates and assumptions included revenue growth, profitability, cash flows, capital spending and other available information. The determination of fair value also incorporated a risk-adjusted discount rate, terminal growth rates and other assumptions that market participants may use. Changes in any of these estimates or assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and potentially result in an impairment charge in the future. These estimates and assumptions are considered Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy.

Changes in the carrying value of goodwill by reporting segment are shown in the table below.

	December 31, 2021		Disposition		Currency impact		September 30, 2022
Global Ecommerce	$	395,062	$	(55,878)	$	—	$	339,184
Presort Services	220,992		—		—		220,992
SendTech Solutions	519,049		—		(33,285)		485,764
Total goodwill	$	1,135,103	$	(55,878)	$	(33,285)	$	1,045,940

The disposition of $56 million represents goodwill allocated to Borderfree. Global Ecommerce goodwill is net of accumulated goodwill impairment charges of $198 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

8. 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.

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 within the fair value hierarchy:

•Money Market Funds: 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.

•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 when unadjusted quoted prices in active markets are available. 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.

Derivative Securities

•Foreign Exchange Contracts: 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. These securities are classified as Level 2.

•Interest Rate Swaps: The valuation of interest rate swaps is based on an income approach using inputs that are observable or that can be derived from, or corroborated by, observable market data. These securities are classified as Level 2.

At September 30, 2022, 99% of the securities were in a loss position. We believe our allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale investment securities is adequate as our investments are primarily in highly liquid U.S. government and agency securities, high grade corporate bonds and municipal bonds. We have not recognized an impairment on investment securities in an unrealized loss position because we have the ability and intent to hold these securities until recovery of the unrealized losses or expect to receive the stated principal and interest at maturity.

Scheduled maturities of available-for-sale securities at September 30, 2022 were as follows:

	Amortized cost		Estimated fair value
Within 1 year	$	2,295	$	2,058
After 1 year through 5 years	15,812		14,116
After 5 years through 10 years	72,928		57,703
After 10 years	172,694		134,233
Total	$	263,729	$	208,110

The actual maturities may not coincide with the scheduled maturities as certain securities contain early redemption features and/or allow for the prepayment of obligations.

Held-to-Maturity Securities

Held-to-maturity securities at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 totaled $21 million and $20 million, respectively.

Simple Agreement for Future Equity (SAFE) Investment

In October 2022, we invested $10 million in Ambi Robotics Inc., a robotics solutions company, via a SAFE arrangement. The SAFE investment provides us the right to participate in future equity offerings by Ambi Robotics Inc. The investment will be carried at cost and the carrying value of the investment could be increased or decreased based on future observable transactions by Ambi Robotics Inc.

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 limit these risks by following established risk management policies and procedures, including the use of derivatives. We use derivative instruments to limit the effects of currency exchange rate fluctuations on financial results and manage the cost of debt. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Derivative instruments are recorded at fair value and the accounting for changes in 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 anticipated inventory purchases 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 AOCL 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 both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, outstanding contracts associated with these anticipated transactions had a notional value of $1 million. Amounts included in AOCL at September 30, 2022 will be recognized in earnings within the next 12 months. No amount of ineffectiveness was recorded in earnings for these designated cash flow hedges.

Interest Rate Swaps

We have interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional value of $200 million that are designated as cash flow hedges. The fair value of the interest rate swaps is recorded as a derivative asset or liability at the end of each reporting period with the change in fair value reflected in AOCL.

Nondesignated Derivative Instruments

We also enter into foreign exchange contracts to minimize the impact on earnings from the revaluation of short-term intercompany loans and related interest denominated in a foreign currency. These foreign exchange contracts are not designated as hedging instruments. Accordingly, the revaluation of intercompany loans and interest and the change in fair value of these derivatives are recorded in earnings. All outstanding contracts at September 30, 2022 mature within 3 months.

The impact on earnings from the change in fair value of these foreign exchange contracts, exclusive of the corresponding impact on earnings from the revaluation of the intercompany loans and related interest, was as follows:

During 2022, we redeemed the April 2023 notes and recorded a $5 million pre-tax loss in connection with this redemption. We also made scheduled principal repayments of $18 million on our term loans. At September 30, 2022, the interest rate on the 2026 Term Loan was 4.9% and the interest rate of the 2028 Term Loan was 7.1%.

We have outstanding interest rate swaps that effectively convert $200 million of our variable rate debt to fixed rates. Under the terms of these agreements, we pay fixed-rate interest of 0.56% and receive variable-rate interest based on one-month LIBOR. The variable interest rates under the term loans and the swaps reset monthly.

The credit agreement that governs our $500 million secured revolving credit facility and term loans contains financial and non-financial covenants. At September 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all covenants and there were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility.

The PB Bank (the Bank), a wholly owned subsidiary, has become a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Des Moines. As a member, the Bank has access to certain credit products as a funding source known as "advances." As of September 30, 2022, the Bank had yet to apply for any advances. The Bank was required to purchase an equity interest in the FHLB of $1 million as a condition of membership. The investment is carried at cost as it does not have a readily determinable fair value as there is no actively traded market and investment is restricted to members only.

12. Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, was 45.8% and 5.6%, respectively, and includes a charge of $2 million due to state tax legislation offset by a benefit of $1 million as a result of the finalization and filing of state income tax returns. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 also includes a tax benefit of $4 million on the pre-tax gain of $4 million from the sale of Borderfree as the tax basis was higher than book basis and a $1 million benefit associated with the 2019 sale of a business.

The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was (21.9)% and 119.3%, respectively, and includes a net tax benefit of $3 million from the resolution of tax matters partially offset by a charge from the filing of state income tax returns. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 also includes benefits of $5 million due to tax legislation in the U.K., a tax charge of $6 million on the pre-tax gain of $10 million from the sale of Tacit as the tax basis was lower than the book basis, a benefit of $3 million from an affiliate reorganization and $2 million from the vesting of restricted stock, partially offset by a charge of $1 million for the write-off of deferred tax assets associated with the expiration of out-of-the-money stock options.

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 20% of our unrecognized tax benefits.

The Internal Revenue Service examinations of our consolidated U.S. income tax returns for tax years prior to 2018 are closed to audit; however, various post-2016 U.S. state and local tax returns are still subject to examination, with some states in appeals from 2011. For our significant non-U.S. jurisdictions, Canada is closed to examination through 2017 except for a specific issue arising in earlier years, France is closed through 2019, Germany is closed through 2016 and the U.K. is closed through 2019. We also have other less significant tax filings currently subject to examination.

13. 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, it is not reasonably possible that the potential liability, if any, that may result from these actions, either individually or collectively, will have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, as litigation is inherently unpredictable, there can be no assurances in this regard.

As of September 30, 2022, we have entered into real estate and equipment leases with aggregate payments of $104 million and terms ranging from three to seven years that have not commenced.

•the potential impacts on our cost of debt due to potential interest rate increases

•our success at managing customer credit risk

•changes in foreign currency exchange rates, especially the impact a strengthening U.S. dollar could have on our global operations

•changes in tax laws, rulings or regulations

•capital market disruptions or credit rating downgrades that adversely impact our ability to access capital markets at reasonable costs

•our success in developing and marketing new products and services and obtaining regulatory approvals, if required

•the continued availability and security of key information technology systems and the cost to comply with information security requirements and privacy laws

•changes in international trade policies, including the imposition or expansion of trade tariffs, and other geopolitical risks

•our success at managing relationships and costs with outsource providers of certain functions and operations

•changes in banking regulations or the loss of our Industrial Bank charter

Revenue decreased 5% (4% at constant currency) in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the prior year due to a decrease in business services revenue primarily driven by lower Global Ecommerce volumes, lower support services revenue driven by a declining meter population and a shift to cloud-enabled products and lower financing revenue. Global Ecommerce revenue decreased 11% (10% at constant currency), Presort Services revenue increased 4% and SendTech Solutions revenue declined 2%, but increased 1% at constant currency.

Segment EBIT in the quarter decreased 18% compared to the prior year period. Global Ecommerce EBIT decreased $14 million primarily due to the decline in revenue and lower margins. Presort Services EBIT decreased $1 million, or 2%, primarily due to higher operating costs. SendTech Solutions EBIT decreased $4 million, or 4% primarily driven by the decline in revenue and lower margins. Refer to Results of Operations section for further information.

32

Outlook

We earn a larger percentage of our revenue in the fourth quarter as compared to other quarters, primarily because there are higher shipping volumes during the holiday season. We also expect shipping volumes to benefit from new clients gained in the third and fourth quarters of 2022. We believe we are well-positioned to process the holiday shipping volumes due to network optimization and increased productivity driven by the investments we have made in our facilities, automation and management systems. However, certain factors beyond our control could have adverse impacts on the global shipping market, including, but not limited to, reduced consumer spending due to inflation and recessionary factors, adverse changes in labor and transportation markets, including higher fuel costs and other adverse geopolitical developments.

We see market opportunities for our businesses and continue to invest in new solutions and services targeted at these opportunities. This includes investments in our physical networks in Global Ecommerce and Presort Services for greater efficiency and economies of scale, investments in our mailing business around shipping solutions, lockers and expanded financing offerings, and upgrading our technologies and processes across all three segments and Corporate shared services. Our mix of business continues to shift to higher growth, lower margin markets, and while the investments we are making today may put downward pressure on our margins in the near-term, we expect these investments to provide a platform for long-term growth and margin improvements.

On a consolidated basis, we expect revenue (constant currency) in 2022 compared to 2021 to range from a low-single digit percentage decline to low-single digit percentage growth and EBIT to range from a high-single digit percentage decline to a mid-single digit percentage increase. We also expect free cash flow to be positive for the full year 2022.

33

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

In this discussion, we refer to revenue growth on a constant currency basis. Constant currency measures exclude the impact of changes in currency exchange rates from the prior period under comparison. We believe that excluding the impacts of currency exchange rates provides investors with 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.  

Management measures segment profitability and performance using segment earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), which is calculated by deducting from segment revenue the related costs and expenses attributable to the segment. Segment EBIT excludes interest, taxes, unallocated corporate expenses, restructuring charges, asset and goodwill impairment charges and other items not allocated to a business segment. Management believes that Segment EBIT provides investors a useful measure of operating performance and underlying trends of the business. Segment EBIT may not be indicative of our overall consolidated performance and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated results of operations.

Effective for 2022, we refined our methodology for allocating transportation costs between Global Ecommerce and Presort Services, resulting in an increase to Global Ecommerce EBIT and a corresponding decrease to Presort Services EBIT of approximately $3 million and $9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

REVENUE AND SEGMENT EBIT

Global Ecommerce

Global Ecommerce includes the revenue and related expenses from business to consumer logistics services for domestic and cross-border delivery, returns and fulfillment.

	2022		2021		Actual % change
Segment EBIT	$	(34,881)	$	(20,950)	(66)	%

Global Ecommerce revenue decreased 11% (10% at constant currency) in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the prior year period driven by an overall decrease in volumes. Cross-border and digital delivery volume declines contributed revenue declines of 5% and 2%, respectively. The sale of Borderfree in the beginning of the third quarter also contributed a 4% decline in revenue.

Gross margin decreased $13 million and gross margin percentage decreased to 5.7% from 8.5% compared to the prior year period. Cross-border gross margin declined $14 million due to the decline in volumes and the loss of $6 million of gross margin in the prior year period from Borderfree. Cross-border gross margin for the third quarter of 2022 benefited from lower transportation costs of $9 million due in part to the revised transportation cost allocation methodology. Digital delivery gross margin declined $5 million also due to the decline in volumes. Domestic parcel delivery services gross margin increased $6 million compared to the prior year quarter; however, the prior year period included an $8 million charge reflecting the estimated cost of a price assessment.

Segment EBIT loss for the third quarter of 2022 increased $14 million to a loss of $35 million compared to a loss of $21 million in the prior year period primarily due to the decline in gross margin.

Global Ecommerce revenue decreased 5% (4% at constant currency) in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the prior year period due primarily to lower volumes, partially offset by pricing actions. Cross-border and digital delivery services volumes contributed revenue declines of 7% and 2%, respectively, which were partially offset by domestic parcel delivery services contributing revenue growth of 4% due to pricing actions.

Gross margin was consistent with the prior year and gross margin percentage increased to 9.3% from 8.7% compared to the prior year period. Domestic parcel delivery services gross margin increased $34 million over the prior year due to pricing actions, improved warehouse productivity and an $8 million prior year charge reflecting the estimated cost of a price assessment. Cross-border gross margin declined $26 million compared to the prior year period primarily due to the decline in volumes driven by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar, and a decline of $15 million from Borderfree, driven in part to the sale of this business on July 1, 2022. Digital delivery services gross margin declined $8 million compared to the prior year period primarily due to the decline in volumes and revenue.

Segment EBIT loss for the first nine months of 2022 increased $19 million to a loss of $77 million compared to a loss of $58 million in the prior year period, due to higher operating expenses of $20 million primarily driven by higher credit card fees of $9 million, higher employee-related expenses of $7 million and higher credit loss provision of $3 million.

Presort Services

Presort Services includes revenue and related expenses from sortation services to qualify large volumes of First Class Mail, Marketing Mail, Marketing Mail Flats and Bound Printed Matter for postal worksharing discounts.

Presort Services revenue increased 4% in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the prior year period. The processing of First Class Mail and Marketing Mail contributed revenue growth of 3% and 1%, respectively, primarily due to the impact of pricing actions.

For the third quarter of 2022, gross margin increased $1 million and gross margin percentage was relatively unchanged compared to the prior year period. Segment EBIT decreased slightly compared to the prior year period. Gross margin and segment EBIT were adversely impacted by lower volumes but these impacts were substantially offset by pricing actions and productivity improvements.

Presort Services revenue increased 7% in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the prior year period. The processing of First Class Mail and Marketing Mail contributed the majority of revenue growth of 4% and 2%, respectively, primarily due to the impact of pricing actions.

Gross margin decreased $1 million and gross margin percentage declined to 22.6% from 24.4%. Segment EBIT decreased $3 million, or 6% in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the prior year period. Gross margin and segment EBIT were impacted by higher transportation costs of $20 million driven by increased demand, higher fuel costs and higher allocated costs due to the revised transportation cost allocation methodology, and higher labor costs of $7 million. The impact of these higher costs has been partially offset through higher revenue driven by pricing actions and productivity improvements.

SendTech Solutions

SendTech Solutions includes the revenue and related expenses from physical and digital mailing and shipping technology solutions, financing, services, supplies and other applications to help simplify and save on the sending, tracking and receiving of letters, parcels and flats.

SendTech Solutions revenue decreased 2%, but increased 1% at constant currency, in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the prior year period. Support services revenue declined 5% (3% at constant currency) primarily due to a declining meter population and shift to cloud-enabled products. Financing revenue declined 6% (4% at constant currency) primarily due to lower lease extensions as more clients are deciding to lease new equipment rather than extend leases on existing equipment. Partially offsetting these decreases, business services revenue increased 37% (38% at constant currency) primarily due to growth in subscription services.

Gross margin decreased $10 million and gross margin percentage decreased to 58.5% from 60.5%, primarily due to declines in financing and support services revenue which have high gross margins. Segment EBIT decreased $4 million, or 4%, due to the

36

decrease in gross margin, partially offset by lower operating expenses of $6 million, due to employee-related expenses, professional fees and credit loss provision each declining $2 million.

UNALLOCATED CORPORATE EXPENSES

The majority of selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses are recorded directly or allocated to our reportable segments. SG&A expenses not recorded directly, or allocated to our reportable segments, are reported as unallocated corporate expenses. Unallocated corporate expenses primarily represents corporate administrative functions such as finance, marketing, human resources, legal, information technology and innovation.

	2022		2021		Actual % change		2022		2021		Actual % change
Unallocated corporate expenses	$	42,908	$	49,176	(13)	%	$	141,537	$	162,957	(13)	%

Unallocated corporate expenses decreased $6 million in the third quarter of 2022 and $21 million in the first nine months of 2022 as compared to the prior year periods primarily due to lower variable compensation expense.

CONSOLIDATED EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative

SG&A expense for the third quarter of 2022 declined $15 million compared to the prior year period, primarily due to lower variable compensation expense of $8 million, lower professional fees of $5 million and lower credit loss provision of $2 million. SG&A expense for the first nine months of 2022 declined $20 million compared to the prior year period, primarily due to lower variable compensation expense of $24 million and lower professional fees of $4 million, partially offset by higher credit card fees of $9 million.

Research and development (R&D)

R&D expense for both the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 declined $1 million compared to the prior year periods.

Restructuring charges

Restructuring charges, consisting of costs for employee severance and facility closures, were $4 million for the third quarter and $13 million for the first nine months of 2022. See Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Other (income) expense

Other (income) expense for the third quarter of 2022 includes a $4 million gain from the sale of Borderfree and a $4 million gain from the receipt of deferred proceeds related to the 2021 sale of a business. Other (income) expense for the first nine months of 2022 also includes a $14 million gain from the sale of our Shelton, Connecticut office building, a $3 million gain from the 2019 sale of a business and a charge of $5 million from the early redemption of debt. See Notes 7, 10 and 16 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Income taxes

The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was 45.8% and 5.6%, respectively. See Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At September 30, 2022, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $607 million, which includes $152 million held at our foreign subsidiaries used to support the liquidity needs of those subsidiaries. Our ability to maintain adequate liquidity for our operations is dependent upon a number of factors, including our revenue and earnings, our clients' ability to pay their balances on a timely basis, the impacts of changing macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions and our ability to manage costs and improve productivity. At this time, we believe that existing cash and investments, cash generated from operations and borrowing capacity under our $500 million revolving credit facility will be sufficient to fund our cash needs for the next 12 months.

Cash Flow Summary

Changes in cash and cash equivalents were as follows:

	2022		2021		Change
Net cash from operating activities	$	9,229	$	216,174	$	(206,945)
Net cash from investing activities	16,391		(111,686)		128,077
Net cash from financing activities	(136,180)		(291,849)		155,669
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents	(25,273)		(4,940)		(20,333)
Change in cash and cash equivalents	$	(135,833)	$	(192,301)	$	56,468

Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities in 2022 declined $207 million compared to the prior year period. This decline was driven in part by lower collections of accounts receivable in 2022 compared to 2021 as we began 2022 with less receivables available for collection compared to the beginning of 2021. Also contributing to lower cash flows was increased payments of accounts payable and employee payroll due to timing, higher income tax payments, higher interest payments due to increases in variable rates, a postage payment in 2022 related to a 2021 volume-related vendor price adjustment and higher inventory levels built up in 2022 in anticipation of future demand and to mitigate against supply chain risks.

Investing Activities

Cash flows from investing activities for 2022 increased $128 million compared to the prior year driven by higher proceeds from the sale of businesses and assets of $131 million primarily due to the sale of Borderfree ($93 million) and our Shelton, CT office building ($51 million) and lower capital expenditures of $43 million. These improvements were partially offset by payments of $49 million for the settlement of foreign currency exchange contracts. We enter into foreign currency exchange contracts with third-parties to offset the earnings volatility caused by changes in foreign currency exchange rates and the revaluation of intercompany loans denominated in a foreign currency. Although there is minimal impact to our reported earnings, the settlement of these derivative contracts result in cash outflows or inflows.

Financing Activities

Cash flows from financing activities for 2022 improved $156 million compared to the prior year primarily due to lower net repayments of debt of $121 million and lower premiums and fees paid to refinance debt of $45 million, partially offset by $13 million of common stock repurchases.

Financings and Capitalization

During 2022, we have reduced debt by $113 million, primarily from the redemption of the remaining $90 million of outstanding April 2023 notes and scheduled term loan repayments of $18 million. The April 2023 notes were redeemed in March and a $5 million pre-tax loss was recognized.

The credit agreement that governs our $500 million secured revolving credit facility and term loans contains financial and non-financial covenants. At September 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all covenants and there were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility.

The PB Bank (the Bank), a wholly owned subsidiary, has become a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Des Moines. As a member, the Bank has access to certain credit products as a funding source known as "advances." As of September 30, 2022, the Bank had yet to apply for any advances.

39

Each quarter, our Board of Directors considers whether to approve the payment, as well as the amount, of a dividend. There are no material restrictions on our ability to declare dividends. We expect to continue to pay a quarterly dividend; however, no assurances can be given.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2022, we have entered into real estate and equipment leases with aggregate payments of $104 million and terms ranging from three to seven years that have not commenced. Most of these leases are expected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2022 and some into 2023.

At September 30, 2022, there are 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

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment at the reporting unit level during the fourth quarter or sooner if circumstances indicate an impairment may exist. The impairment test for goodwill determines the fair value of each reporting unit and compares it to the reporting unit's carrying value, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to that reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and no further testing is required. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, the goodwill impairment loss is calculated as the difference between these amounts, limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.

We determined that the agreement to sell Borderfree was a triggering event that indicated an impairment may exist. Accordingly, we performed a goodwill impairment test of the Global Ecommerce reporting unit to assess the recoverability of the carrying value of remaining goodwill. We engaged a third-party to assist in the determination of the fair value of the reporting unit.

The results of our test indicated that no impairment existed; however, the estimated fair value of the Global Ecommerce reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by less than 20%. The determination of fair value relied on internal projections developed using numerous estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties. These estimates and assumptions included revenue growth, profitability, cash flows, capital spending and other available information. The determination of fair value also incorporated a risk-adjusted discount rate, terminal growth rates and other assumptions that market participants may use. Changes in any of these estimates or assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and the associated goodwill impairment assessment. Potential events and circumstances that could have an adverse effect on our estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, declining revenue, our inability to grow volumes, gain additional economies of scale and improve profitability, continued increases in costs and rising interest rates.

The goodwill balance related to the Global Ecommerce reporting unit at September 30, 2022 was $339 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.

Regulatory Matters

There have been no significant changes to the regulatory matters disclosed in our 2021 Annual Report.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There were no material changes to the disclosures made in our 2021 Annual Report.

40

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 as of the end of the period covered by this report. 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. Further, we have not experienced any material impact to our internal controls over financial reporting given that most of our employees are working remotely due to COVID-19.

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 September 30, 2022.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

Pitney Bowes Inc. (we, us, our, or the company) is a global shipping and mailing company that provides technology, logistics, and financial services to small and medium sized businesses, large enterprises, including more than 90 percent of the Fortune 500, retailers and government clients around the world. These clients rely on us to remove the complexity and increase the efficiency in their sending of mail and parcels. For additional information, visit www.pitneybowes.com.

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, 2021 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, 2022. 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, 2021 (2021 Annual Report).

Effective July 1, 2022, we sold our Borderfree cross-border ecommerce solutions business (Borderfree) that was reported in the Global Ecommerce segment. Prior year results have not been recast to exclude the revenue and expenses from Borderfree, impacting the comparison of current year results to the prior year periods. Accordingly, no revenue was recognized for Borderfree in the third quarter of 2022, whereas revenue for the third quarter of 2021 includes $14 million from Borderfree. Net income of Borderfree for the third quarter of 2021 was not significant.

Pre-tax income for the three months ended September 30, 2022 included a charge of $2 million and pre-tax income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 included a benefit of $3 million to correct misstatements related to prior periods. The impact of these misstatements was not material to the consolidated financial statements for any prior quarterly or annual periods, and is not expected to be material to the current annual period.

Risks and Uncertainties

The effects of COVID-19 and the risk of a global recession continues to impact how we and our clients conduct business. The impacts on our business remain unpredictable and accordingly, we are not able to reasonably estimate the full extent of their impact on our operating results, financial position and cash flows.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The transition to new reference interest rates will require certain contracts to be modified and the ASU is intended to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The accommodations provided by the ASU are effective through December 31, 2022, and may be applied at the beginning of any interim period within that time frame.

We have matched LIBOR-based debt with LIBOR-based interest rate swaps and have elected to apply the practical expedient related to probability and the assessment of the effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows, which assumes that the debt instrument will use the same index rate as its corresponding interest rate swap once a new reference rate is established to replace LIBOR. We may apply other expedients as additional reference rate changes occur. We continue to assess the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures, which requires disclosure of gross write-offs and recoveries of finance receivables by year of origination. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact this standard will have on our financial statement disclosures.

Our performance obligations for revenue from products and services are as follows:

Business services includes fulfillment, delivery and return services, cross-border solutions, mail processing services and shipping subscription solutions. Revenue for fulfillment, delivery and return services and cross-border solutions and mail processing services is recognized over time using an output method based on the number of parcels or mail pieces either processed or delivered, depending on the service type, since that measure best depicts the value of goods and services transferred to the client over the contract period. Contract terms for these services initially range from one to five years and contain annual renewal options. Revenue for shipping subscription solutions revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period as the client obtains equal benefit from these services through the period.

Support services includes providing maintenance, professional and subscription services for our equipment and digital mailing and shipping technology solutions. Contract terms range from one to five years, depending on the term of the lease contract for the related equipment. Revenue for maintenance and subscription services is recognized ratably over the contract period and revenue for professional services is recognized when services are provided.

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

Supplies includes revenue from supplies for our mailing equipment and is recognized upon delivery.

Revenue from leasing transactions and financing includes revenue from sales-type and operating leases, finance income, late fees and investment income, gains and losses at the Bank.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Information

Segment Information

Our reportable segments are Global Ecommerce, Presort Services and SendTech Solutions. The principal products and services of each reportable segment are as follows:

Global Ecommerce: Includes the revenue and related expenses from business to consumer logistics services for domestic and cross-border delivery, returns and fulfillment.

Presort Services: Includes revenue and related expenses from sortation services to qualify large volumes of First Class Mail, Marketing Mail, Marketing Mail Flats and Bound Printed Matter for postal worksharing discounts.

SendTech Solutions: Includes the revenue and related expenses from physical and digital mailing and shipping technology solutions, financing, services, supplies and other applications to help simplify and save on the sending, tracking and receiving of letters, parcels and flats.

Management measures segment profitability and performance using segment earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT). Segment EBIT is calculated by deducting from segment revenue the related costs and expenses attributable to the segment. Segment EBIT excludes interest, taxes, unallocated corporate expenses, restructuring charges, asset and goodwill impairment charges and other items not allocated to a business segment. Costs related to shared assets are allocated to the relevant segments. Management believes that segment EBIT provides investors a useful measure of operating performance and underlying trends of the business. Segment EBIT may not be indicative of our overall consolidated performance and therefore, should be read in conjunction with our consolidated results of operations. The following tables provide information about our reportable segments and a reconciliation of segment EBIT to net income (loss).

Receivables [Abstract]

Finance Assets and Lessor Operating Leases

Finance Assets and Lessor Operating Leases

Finance Assets

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

Allowance for Credit Losses

We provide an allowance for credit losses based on historical loss experience, the nature of our portfolios, adverse situations that may affect a client's ability to pay and current economic conditions and outlook based on reasonable and supportable forecasts. We continually evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses and adjust as necessary. The assumptions used in determining an estimate of credit losses are inherently subjective and actual results may differ significantly from estimated reserves.

We established credit approval limits based on the credit quality of the client and the type of equipment financed. We cease recognition of financing revenue for lease receivables greater than 120 days past due and for unsecured loan receivables greater than 90 days past due. Revenue recognition is resumed when the client's payments reduce the account aging to less than 60 days past due. Finance receivables are written off against the allowance after all collection efforts have been exhausted and management deems the account to be uncollectible. We believe that our credit risk is low because of the geographic and industry diversification of our clients and small account balances for most of our clients.

Credit Quality

The extension of credit and management of credit lines to new and existing clients uses a combination of a client's credit score, where available, a detailed manual review of their financial condition and payment history, or an automated process. Once credit is granted, the payment performance of the client is managed through automated collections processes and is supplemented with direct follow up should an account become delinquent. We have robust automated collections and extensive portfolio management processes to ensure that our global strategy is executed, collection resources are allocated and enhanced tools and processes are implemented as needed.

Over 85% of our finance receivables are within the North American portfolio. We use a third-party to score the majority of this portfolio on a quarterly basis using a proprietary commercial credit score. The relative scores are determined based on a number of factors, including financial information, payment history, company type and ownership structure. We stratify the third party's credit scores of our clients into low, medium and high-risk accounts. Due to timing and other issues, our entire portfolio may not be scored at period end. We report these amounts as "Not Scored"; however, absence of a score is not indicative of the credit quality of the account. The third-party credit score is used to predict the payment behaviors of our clients and the probability that an account will become greater than 90 days past due during the subsequent 12-month period.

•Low risk accounts are companies with very good credit scores and a predicted delinquency rate of less than 5%.

•Medium risk accounts are companies with average to good credit scores and a predicted delinquency rate between 5% and 10%.

•High risk accounts are companies with poor credit scores, are delinquent or are at risk of becoming delinquent. The predicted delinquency rate would be greater than 10%.

We do not use a third-party to score our International portfolio because the cost to do so is prohibitive as there is no single credit score model that covers all countries. Accordingly, the entire International portfolio is reported in the Not Scored category. This portfolio comprises less than 15% of total finance receivables. Most of the International credit applications are small dollar applications (i.e. below $50 thousand) and are subjected to an automated review process. Larger credit applications are manually reviewed, which includes obtaining client financial information, credit reports and other available financial information.

The table below shows gross finance receivables by relative risk class and year of origination based on the relative scores of the accounts within each class.

Acquisition, Divestiture, Intangible Assets and Goodwill

Acquisition/Divestiture

In the second quarter of 2022, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell the Borderfree business. The sale closed on July 1, 2022 and we received proceeds of $93 million, net of cash transferred, and recognized a pre-tax gain of $4 million (see Note 16). During the quarter, we also received additional proceeds of $7 million related to the 2021 sale of a business and recognized a pre-tax gain of $4 million and acquired Pittsburgh Mailing Systems, Inc. for $1 million, which is reported in our Presort Services segment.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consisted of the following:

Goodwill

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment at the reporting unit level during the fourth quarter or sooner if circumstances indicate an impairment may exist. The impairment test for goodwill determines the fair value of each reporting unit and compares it to the reporting unit's carrying value, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to that reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and no further testing is required. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, the goodwill impairment loss is calculated as the difference between these amounts, limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.

We determined that the agreement to sell Borderfree was a triggering event that indicated an impairment may exist. Accordingly, we performed a goodwill impairment test of the Global Ecommerce reporting unit to assess the recoverability of goodwill. We engaged a third-party to assist in the determination of the fair value of the reporting unit.

The results of our test indicated that no impairment existed; however, the estimated fair value of the Global Ecommerce reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by less than 20%. The determination of fair value relied on internal projections developed using numerous estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties. These estimates and assumptions included revenue growth, profitability, cash flows, capital spending and other available information. The determination of fair value also incorporated a risk-adjusted discount rate, terminal growth rates and other assumptions that market participants may use. Changes in any of these estimates or assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and potentially result in an impairment charge in the future. These estimates and assumptions are considered Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy.

Changes in the carrying value of goodwill by reporting segment are shown in the table below.

	December 31, 2021		Disposition		Currency impact		September 30, 2022
Global Ecommerce	$	395,062	$	(55,878)	$	—	$	339,184
Presort Services	220,992		—		—		220,992
SendTech Solutions	519,049		—		(33,285)		485,764
Total goodwill	$	1,135,103	$	(55,878)	$	(33,285)	$	1,045,940

The disposition of $56 million represents goodwill allocated to Borderfree. Global Ecommerce goodwill is net of accumulated goodwill impairment charges of $198 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements and Derivative Instruments

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.

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 within the fair value hierarchy:

•Money Market Funds: 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.

•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 when unadjusted quoted prices in active markets are available. 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.

Derivative Securities

•Foreign Exchange Contracts: 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. These securities are classified as Level 2.

•Interest Rate Swaps: The valuation of interest rate swaps is based on an income approach using inputs that are observable or that can be derived from, or corroborated by, observable market data. These securities are classified as Level 2.

Available-For-Sale Securities

Investment securities classified as available-for-sale are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value due to market conditions (i.e., interest rates) recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL), and changes in fair value due to credit conditions recorded in earnings. There were no unrealized losses due to credit losses charged to earnings through the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Available-for-sale securities consisted of the following:

	September 30, 2022
	Amortized cost		Gross unrealized gains		Gross unrealized losses		Estimated fair value
Government and related securities	$	35,855	$	12	$	(8,953)	$	26,914

Mortgage-backed / asset-backed securities	176,559		144		(4,685)		172,018
Total	$	282,350	$	484	$	(8,728)	$	274,106

Investment securities in a loss position were as follows:

Total	$	27,715	$	8,056	$	56,743	$	1,434

At September 30, 2022, 99% of the securities were in a loss position. We believe our allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale investment securities is adequate as our investments are primarily in highly liquid U.S. government and agency securities, high grade corporate bonds and municipal bonds. We have not recognized an impairment on investment securities in an unrealized loss position because we have the ability and intent to hold these securities until recovery of the unrealized losses or expect to receive the stated principal and interest at maturity.

Scheduled maturities of available-for-sale securities at September 30, 2022 were as follows:

	Amortized cost		Estimated fair value
Within 1 year	$	2,295	$	2,058
After 1 year through 5 years	15,812		14,116
After 5 years through 10 years	72,928		57,703
After 10 years	172,694		134,233
Total	$	263,729	$	208,110

The actual maturities may not coincide with the scheduled maturities as certain securities contain early redemption features and/or allow for the prepayment of obligations.

Held-to-Maturity Securities

Held-to-maturity securities at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 totaled $21 million and $20 million, respectively.

Simple Agreement for Future Equity (SAFE) Investment

In October 2022, we invested $10 million in Ambi Robotics Inc., a robotics solutions company, via a SAFE arrangement. The SAFE investment provides us the right to participate in future equity offerings by Ambi Robotics Inc. The investment will be carried at cost and the carrying value of the investment could be increased or decreased based on future observable transactions by Ambi Robotics Inc.

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 limit these risks by following established risk management policies and procedures, including the use of derivatives. We use derivative instruments to limit the effects of currency exchange rate fluctuations on financial results and manage the cost of debt. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Derivative instruments are recorded at fair value and the accounting for changes in 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 anticipated inventory purchases 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 AOCL 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 both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, outstanding contracts associated with these anticipated transactions had a notional value of $1 million. Amounts included in AOCL at September 30, 2022 will be recognized in earnings within the next 12 months. No amount of ineffectiveness was recorded in earnings for these designated cash flow hedges.

Interest Rate Swaps

We have interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional value of $200 million that are designated as cash flow hedges. The fair value of the interest rate swaps is recorded as a derivative asset or liability at the end of each reporting period with the change in fair value reflected in AOCL.

The fair value of derivative instruments was as follows:

Designation of Derivatives	Balance Sheet Location	September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments
Foreign exchange contracts	Other current assets and prepayments	$	125	$	21
	Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	—		(10)

Nondesignated Derivative Instruments

We also enter into foreign exchange contracts to minimize the impact on earnings from the revaluation of short-term intercompany loans and related interest denominated in a foreign currency. These foreign exchange contracts are not designated as hedging instruments. Accordingly, the revaluation of intercompany loans and interest and the change in fair value of these derivatives are recorded in earnings. All outstanding contracts at September 30, 2022 mature within 3 months.

The impact on earnings from the change in fair value of these foreign exchange contracts, exclusive of the corresponding impact on earnings from the revaluation of the intercompany loans and related interest, was as follows:

		Three Months Ended September 30,
		Derivative Gain (Loss) Recognized in Earnings
Derivatives Instrument	Location of Derivative Gain (Loss)	2022		2021

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment securities, accounts receivable, loan receivables, derivative instruments, accounts payable and debt. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, held-to-maturity investment securities, accounts receivable, loans receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value. The fair value of available-for-sale investment securities and derivative instruments are presented above. The fair value of debt is estimated based on recently executed transactions and market price quotations. The inputs used to determine the fair value of debt were classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value and estimated fair value of debt was as follows:

During 2022, we redeemed the April 2023 notes and recorded a $5 million pre-tax loss in connection with this redemption. We also made scheduled principal repayments of $18 million on our term loans. At September 30, 2022, the interest rate on the 2026 Term Loan was 4.9% and the interest rate of the 2028 Term Loan was 7.1%.

We have outstanding interest rate swaps that effectively convert $200 million of our variable rate debt to fixed rates. Under the terms of these agreements, we pay fixed-rate interest of 0.56% and receive variable-rate interest based on one-month LIBOR. The variable interest rates under the term loans and the swaps reset monthly.

The credit agreement that governs our $500 million secured revolving credit facility and term loans contains financial and non-financial covenants. At September 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all covenants and there were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility.

The PB Bank (the Bank), a wholly owned subsidiary, has become a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Des Moines. As a member, the Bank has access to certain credit products as a funding source known as "advances." As of September 30, 2022, the Bank had yet to apply for any advances. The Bank was required to purchase an equity interest in the FHLB of $1 million as a condition of membership. The investment is carried at cost as it does not have a readily determinable fair value as there is no actively traded market and investment is restricted to members only.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, was 45.8% and 5.6%, respectively, and includes a charge of $2 million due to state tax legislation offset by a benefit of $1 million as a result of the finalization and filing of state income tax returns. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 also includes a tax benefit of $4 million on the pre-tax gain of $4 million from the sale of Borderfree as the tax basis was higher than book basis and a $1 million benefit associated with the 2019 sale of a business.

The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was (21.9)% and 119.3%, respectively, and includes a net tax benefit of $3 million from the resolution of tax matters partially offset by a charge from the filing of state income tax returns. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 also includes benefits of $5 million due to tax legislation in the U.K., a tax charge of $6 million on the pre-tax gain of $10 million from the sale of Tacit as the tax basis was lower than the book basis, a benefit of $3 million from an affiliate reorganization and $2 million from the vesting of restricted stock, partially offset by a charge of $1 million for the write-off of deferred tax assets associated with the expiration of out-of-the-money stock options.

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 20% of our unrecognized tax benefits.

The Internal Revenue Service examinations of our consolidated U.S. income tax returns for tax years prior to 2018 are closed to audit; however, various post-2016 U.S. state and local tax returns are still subject to examination, with some states in appeals from 2011. For our significant non-U.S. jurisdictions, Canada is closed to examination through 2017 except for a specific issue arising in earlier years, France is closed through 2019, Germany is closed through 2016 and the U.K. is closed through 2019. We also have other less significant tax filings currently subject to examination.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and ContingenciesIn 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, it is not reasonably possible that the potential liability, if any, that may result from these actions, either individually or collectively, will have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, as litigation is inherently unpredictable, there can be no assurances in this regard. As of September 30, 2022, we have entered into real estate and equipment leases with aggregate payments of $104 million and terms ranging from three to seven years that have not commenced.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The transition to new reference interest rates will require certain contracts to be modified and the ASU is intended to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The accommodations provided by the ASU are effective through December 31, 2022, and may be applied at the beginning of any interim period within that time frame.

We have matched LIBOR-based debt with LIBOR-based interest rate swaps and have elected to apply the practical expedient related to probability and the assessment of the effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows, which assumes that the debt instrument will use the same index rate as its corresponding interest rate swap once a new reference rate is established to replace LIBOR. We may apply other expedients as additional reference rate changes occur. We continue to assess the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures, which requires disclosure of gross write-offs and recoveries of finance receivables by year of origination. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact this standard will have on our financial statement disclosures.
