Business Segment Reporting

We are presenting revenue growth on a comparable basis, which excludes three items, the impacts of foreign currency, the impact of the divestiture of the Borderfree business effective July 1, 2022, and the impact of a change in the presentation of revenue for certain services effective October 1, 2022, from a gross basis to net basis due to an adjustment in terms of one of our contracts with the United States Postal Service. This change in revenue presentation impacts both our Global Ecommerce and SendTech Solutions segments. The impacts of each of the above items on revenue can be found in the accompanying financial schedules.

Global Ecommerce

Global Ecommerce provides business to consumer logistics services for domestic and cross-border delivery, returns and fulfillment.

Continued improvement in Domestic Parcel was offset by weakness in Cross-border. Domestic Parcel volumes were 54 million in the quarter, growing 16 percent year-over-year. Domestic Parcel volume growth drove revenue growth on a comparable basis. Cross-border volumes and revenue declined due to continued pressure from a strong US Dollar and softer international ecommerce activity.

Domestic Parcel unit gross margin improved $0.21 versus third quarter 2022, driving higher segment margins. A higher-than-expected mix of light weight parcels received late in the quarter contributed to lower-than-expected profitability.

Presort Services

Presort Services provides sortation services that enable clients to qualify for USPS workshare discounts in First Class Mail, Marketing Mail, Marketing Mail Flats and Bound Printed Matter.

Revenue growth in the quarter was driven by new client additions and higher revenue per piece. Growth was partially offset by lower volumes from existing clients.

EBIT margins in the fourth quarter improved 440 basis points sequentially and 360 basis points versus prior year, driven by higher revenue per piece and productivity gains from investments in automation.

SendTech Solutions

Revenue was flat compared to prior year on a comparable basis. Strong demand for our new mailing and shipping products drove growth in Equipment sales and Service Revenues in the quarter. Shipping-related revenues grew 30 percent. Financing revenue and Supplies sales declined in the quarter.

Full Year 2023 Guidance

We expect flat to mid-single digit percentage revenue growth on a comparable basis.

We also expect percentage EBIT growth to outpace revenue growth as GEC profitability continues to improve.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

Our financial results are reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). We also disclose certain non-GAAP measures, such as adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted earnings per share (EPS), revenue growth on a comparable basis and free cash flow.

Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS exclude the impact of discontinued operations, restructuring charges, gains, losses and costs related to the sale of assets, acquisitions and dispositions, goodwill impairment charges, losses on debt redemptions and refinancings and other unusual or one-time items. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide investors greater insight into the underlying operating trends of the business.

We disclose revenue growth on a comparable basis, which excludes three items. First, the comparison excludes the impacts of foreign currency. Second, we are excluding the impact of the divestiture of the Borderfree business effective July 1, 2022. Third, we are excluding the impact of a change in the presentation of revenue beginning in the fourth quarter of 2022, from a gross basis to net basis due to an adjustment in terms of one of our contracts with the United States Postal Service. The change in revenue presentation impacts both our Global Ecommerce and SendTech Solutions segments. The change in revenue presentation does not impact gross profit. Management believes that excluding these items provides investors with a better understanding of the underlying revenue performance.

Free cash flow adjusts cash flow from operations calculated in accordance with GAAP for discontinued operations, capital expenditures, restructuring payments, changes in customer deposits held at the Pitney Bowes Bank and other special items. Management believes free cash flow provides investors better insight into the amount of cash available for other discretionary uses.

Segment EBIT is the primary measure of profitability and operational performance at the segment level and is determined by deducting from segment revenue the related costs and expenses attributable to the segment. Segment EBIT excludes interest, taxes, unallocated corporate expenses, restructuring charges, goodwill impairment charges, and other items not allocated to a segment. The Company also reports segment EBITDA as an additional useful measure of segment profitability and operational performance.

Complete reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to comparable GAAP measures can be found in the attached financial schedules and at the Company's web site at www.pb.com/investorrelations

This document contains “forward-looking statements” about the Company’s expected or potential future business and financial performance. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about future revenue and earnings guidance and future events or conditions. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. While conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic have improved, the pandemic continues to be dynamic, and near-term challenges across the economy remain and the effects that they may have on our, and our clients' businesses remain uncertain. Other factors which could cause future financial performance to differ materially from expectations include, without limitation, declining physical mail volumes; changes in postal regulations or the operations and financial health of posts in the U.S. or other major markets or changes to the broader postal or shipping markets; the loss of, or significant changes to, United States Postal Service (USPS) commercial programs, or our contractual relationships with the USPS or their performance under those contracts; our ability to continue to grow volumes, gain additional economies of scale and improve profitability within our Global Ecommerce segment; the impacts of inflation and rising prices, higher interest rates and a slow-down in economic activity, including a global recession, to the company, our clients and retail consumers, and the loss of some of our larger clients in our Global Ecommerce and Presort Services segments; and other factors as more fully outlined in the Company's 2021 Form 10-K Annual Report and other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission during 2022. Pitney Bowes assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this document as a result of new information, events or developments.

Segment EBIT excludes interest, taxes, general corporate expenses, restructuring charges, and other items that are not allocated to a particular business segment. In 2022, we refined the methodology for allocating transportation costs between Global Ecommerce and Presort Services, resulting in an increase in Global Ecommerce EBIT and a corresponding decrease in Presort Services EBIT of $1 million and $10 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022, respectively.
