SendTech revenue declined slightly, as continued erosion in the mailing install base was partially offset by strong sales execution and growth in services revenue.

Adjusted Segment EBITDA and EBIT improved as a result of cost reductions, with operating expenses declining $14 million versus prior year, and a $5 million tariff refund received in the quarter.

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.

Presort revenue decline continued to moderate in the second quarter. Total volume sorted in the quarter was 3.3 billion pieces of mail, a 3% reduction year-over-year driven by market decline and previously communicated client losses from the first half of 2025.

Adjusted Segment EBITDA and EBIT declined due to the decrease in revenue with margins contracting from reduced operating leverage from lower volumes as well as higher fuel and transportation costs.

2026 Full-Year Outlook

Pitney Bowes raised its guidance for Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EPS, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow and reaffirmed its guidance for Revenue. Updated guidance for Revenue, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EPS and Adjusted Free Cash Flow in 2026 is as follows:

About Pitney Bowes

Pitney Bowes (NYSE: PBI) is a technology-driven company that provides digital shipping solutions, mailing innovation, and financial services to clients around the world – including more than 90 percent of the Fortune 500. Small businesses to large enterprises, and government entities rely on Pitney Bowes to reduce the complexity of sending mail and parcels. For the latest news, corporate announcements, and financial results, visit www.pitneybowes.com/us/newsroom. For additional information, visit Pitney Bowes at www.pitneybowes.com.

Adjusted Segment EBIT

Adjusted Segment EBIT is the primary measure of profitability and operational performance at the segment level. Adjusted Segment EBIT includes segment revenues and related costs and expenses attributable to the segment, but excludes interest, taxes, general corporate expenses, restructuring charges, and other items not allocated to a business segment. Effective January 1, 2026, Adjusted Segment EBIT also excludes pension expense related to U.S. and Canada pension plans that we have taken steps to terminate. We also report Adjusted Segment EBITDA as an additional useful measure of segment profitability and operational performance, which is calculated as Adjusted Segment EBIT plus depreciation and amortization expense of the segment.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

Pitney Bowes’ financial results are reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Pitney Bowes also discloses 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) and adjusted free cash flow.

Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS exclude the impact of restructuring charges, foreign currency gains and losses on intercompany loans, certain costs associated with the Ecommerce Restructuring, gains and losses on debt redemptions and other unusual items that we believe are not indicative of our core business operations. For the 2026 periods, these measures also exclude pension expense related to the U.S. and Canada pension plans that we have taken steps to terminate.

Effective Q2 2026, the Company has renamed “Free Cash Flow” to “Adjusted Free Cash Flow”. This is a change in title only. There is no change in definition nor calculation methodology, and all prior-period amounts remain unchanged. Adjusted free cash flow adjusts cash flow from operations calculated in accordance with GAAP for capital expenditures, restructuring payments and other special items. Management believes adjusted free cash flow provides better insight into the amount of cash available for other discretionary uses.

Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to comparable GAAP measures can be found in the attached financial schedules and at the Company's website at: https://www.investorrelations.pitneybowes.com. We do not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures because items necessary for such reconciliation are not available on a reasonable basis without unreasonable efforts.

Forward-Looking Statements

This document contains “forward-looking statements” about the Company’s expected or potential future business and financial performance, including, but not limited to, statements about future revenue and profitability, earnings guidance, future events or conditions, capital allocation strategy, expected cost savings and efficiency improvements, and strategic initiatives and priorities. 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. Factors which could cause future performance to differ materially from expectations include, without limitation, 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; accelerated or sudden declines in physical mail volumes or shipping volumes; the loss of some of our larger clients; changes in trade policies, tariffs and regulations; periods of difficult economic conditions, the impacts of inflation and rising prices, higher interest rates and a slow-down in economic activity, including a global recession, or a prolonged U.S. government shutdown, to the Company and our clients; changes in labor and transportation availability and costs; and other factors as more fully outlined in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2025 and subsequent reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Pitney Bowes assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this document as a result of new information, events, or developments, except as required by law.
