- Global Ecommerce experienced strong volumes during peak
- Expect flat to low-single digit revenue decline in 2024

Insights
The recent financial results presented by Pitney Bowes indicate a mixed performance with several key takeaways for stakeholders. The reported revenue decline of 4 percent in Q4 and 8 percent for the full year, alongside a significant GAAP EPS loss due to a non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to the Global Ecommerce segment, signals potential challenges in the company's market positioning and valuation of its assets. The impairment charge suggests a reassessment of the segment's profitability and future cash flow projections.
However, the adjusted EPS shows a slight increase, indicating some operational resilience. The company's focus on cost reduction and restructuring efforts, which are on target, could be a positive sign for operational efficiency gains. The reduction of total debt by $59 million and the refinancing of 2024 notes could improve the company's financial flexibility and reduce interest burden in the near term.
It's important to note that the free cash flow of $78 million in Q4, despite being a positive indicator of liquidity, represents a significant decrease when compared to the full year's free cash flow of $22 million, which could raise concerns about the sustainability of cash generation. Investors should closely monitor the company's future cash flows, as they are crucial for both reinvestment in the business and returning value to shareholders.
From a market perspective, Pitney Bowes' performance and strategic shifts highlight the ongoing transformation in the shipping and logistics industry. The SendTech and Presort segments' solid profit increases and margin expansion reflect well on the company's ability to adapt to the evolving needs of SMBs and enterprise clients. The growth in recurring revenue from shipping solutions, particularly a 17 percent increase in the SendTech segment, aligns with the broader industry trend towards digital and SaaS-based shipping technologies.
The Global Ecommerce segment, despite showing improved profitability, faces a significant decrease in revenue, particularly in cross-border transactions. This is indicative of heightened competition and potentially shifting consumer behaviors in the ecommerce logistics space. The company's intention to review options to realize the value of this segment could lead to strategic realignments or divestitures, which may impact the competitive landscape.
Looking ahead, the guidance for 2024 with potential flat to low-single digit revenue decline and relatively flat EBIT margins suggests cautious optimism but also underscores the need for the company to continue innovating and finding new growth avenues in a highly competitive market.
Examining Pitney Bowes' financial results within the broader economic context, several factors stand out. The company's efforts in reducing costs and restructuring could be seen as a response to macroeconomic pressures such as wage inflation and potentially slower economic growth, which may affect client spending patterns. The reference to restoration of variable compensation and wage inflation partially offsetting gains indicates that the company is mindful of the need to retain talent in a competitive labor market, despite cost pressures.
The decline in cross-border revenue within the Global Ecommerce segment could also be reflective of broader geopolitical tensions and trade uncertainties, which have been known to affect international commerce. Moreover, the company's focus on shipping solutions and SaaS technology suggests an adaptation to the digitalization trend that has been accelerated by the pandemic and changes in global trade flows.
Overall, while the company is navigating through some short-term challenges, its strategic priorities, such as the shift into shipping solutions, could position it well to capitalize on long-term industry trends, provided it successfully executes on its growth goals and continues to adapt to the changing economic environment.
Jason Dies, Interim Chief Executive Officer, commented:
“Pitney Bowes is beginning 2024 with positive momentum and a strong set of go-forward priorities following a productive fourth quarter. At the enterprise level, we are on track with our cost reduction and restructuring efforts after increasing targets late last year. Our SendTech and Presort segments again delivered solid profit increases and margin expansion in the fourth quarter, reflecting continued focus on both productivity and revenue growth initiatives. Global Ecommerce delivered improved profitability year-over-year and sequentially in the fourth quarter, demonstrating the value of our network in peak and on a go forward basis. We are continuing to take actions and review options to realize the value of this segment. Importantly, as we look ahead in 2024, we will continue to operate with intensity and prioritize actions that support a shift into shipping solutions and our specific growth goals in SaaS shipping technology.”

EBIT and EBIT margin expansion in the fourth quarter was driven by improvements in gross margin, strong execution, and cost reduction actions.
Fourth quarter revenue decline was driven by a reduction in our meter base, timing of our product lifecycle, and a tough prior year compare in our shipping products. Recurring revenue from our shipping solutions grew 17 percent versus prior year and helped offset the decline.

Global Ecommerce experienced strong volumes during peak, processing 61 million domestic parcels in the fourth quarter, which is up 13 percent from fourth quarter 2022. Domestic parcel revenue grew 7 percent in the fourth quarter versus prior year, which was more than offset by a loss in revenue from cross-border.
Improved EBIT in the fourth quarter reflects the positive impact of cost actions, higher domestic parcel volumes, and increased network productivity. These benefits were partially offset by the decline in cross-border.
Full Year 2024 Guidance
We expect revenue growth to range from flat to a low-single digit decline and EBIT margins to remain relatively flat on a year-over-year basis.
We expect incremental benefit in 2024 from our company-wide cost reduction program as savings from actions taken in 2023 annualize and we further execute on the plan. We expect restoration of variable compensation and wage inflation to partially offset gains.
We also expect similar levels of capital expenditures in 2024 as in 2023 and interest expense to remain around the elevated rate incurred in Q4 2023.

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 (Adjusted EBIT), adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA), adjusted earnings per share (Adjusted EPS), revenue growth on a comparable basis and free cash flow.
Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS exclude the impact of restructuring charges, goodwill impairment charges, foreign currency gains and losses on intercompany loans, gains, losses and costs related to acquisitions and dispositions, gains and losses on debt redemptions and other unusual 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 capital expenditures, restructuring payments and other special items. Management believes free cash flow provides investors better insight into the amount of cash available for other discretionary uses.
Adjusted 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. Adjusted Segment EBIT excludes interest, taxes, unallocated corporate expenses, foreign currency gains and losses on intercompany loans, restructuring charges, goodwill impairment, and other items not allocated to a business segment. The Company also reports Adjusted 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.
