NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited; table amounts in thousands unless otherwise noted, except per share amounts)
1.
Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
Pitney Bowes Inc. (we, us, our, or the company) is a technology-driven company that provides SaaS 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.
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, 2024 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, 2025. 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, 2024 (2024 Annual Report).
As a result of the wind-down of a majority of the former Global Ecommerce reportable segment in August 2024, certain revenues and expenses for the period ended March 31, 2024 are reported as discontinued operations in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 4 for further information.
During the first quarter of 2025, we identified an error and recorded an out of period adjustment of $
4
million to correct an overstatement of revenue in prior periods. The impact of the adjustment is not material to the consolidated financial statements for any interim or annual periods prior to 2025 and is not expected to be material to the 2025 annual period.
During the first quarter of 2024, we identified an error and recorded an out of period adjustment of $
5
million to correct an understatement of revenue in prior periods, of which $
4
million originated in 2020 and prior. The impact of the adjustment was not material to the consolidated financial statements for any interim or annual periods.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2024-03,
Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,
which requires more detailed information about specified categories of expenses included in certain expense captions presented on the face of the income statement. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact this standard will have on our disclosures.

Our performance obligations for revenue from services and products are as follows:
Services revenue includes revenues from digital shipping and mailing technology solutions and the maintenance, professional and subscription services related to those solutions, and mail processing services. Revenues for mail processing services and cross-border solutions are 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
to
five years
and contain annual renewal options. Revenue for shipping subscription solutions is recognized ratably over the contract period as the client obtains equal benefit from these services through the period. Revenue for maintenance and subscription services is recognized ratably over the contract period, which ranges from one to five years, and revenue for professional services is recognized when services are provided.
Products revenue generally includes the sale of mailing and shipping equipment and related supplies. We recognize revenue upon delivery for self-install equipment and supplies and upon acceptance or installation for other equipment.

Advance billings are recorded when cash payments are due in advance of our performance. Revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term. Items in advance billings primarily relate to maintenance services on mailing equipment. Revenue recognized during the period includes $
32

Segment Information
Our reportable segments are SendTech Solutions and Presort Services. SendTech Solutions includes the revenue and related expenses from physical and digital shipping and mailing technology solutions, financing, services, supplies and other applications to help simplify and save on the sending, tracking and receiving of letters, parcels and flats. Presort Services includes the revenue and related expenses from sortation services to qualify large volumes of First Class Mail, Marketing Mail and Marketing Mail Flats/Bound Printed Matter for postal worksharing discounts.
Other operations includes the revenue and related expenses of a cross-border services contract and prior operations and shared services of our former Global Ecommerce reporting segment that was retained or did not qualify for discontinued operations treatment.
Due to a change in how these functions are now managed, effective January 1, 2025, we revised our corporate expense allocation methodology to allocate all marketing and innovation expenses to our SendTech Solutions segment. Prior periods have been recast to conform to the current period presentation.
Management, including our Chief Executive Officer, who is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), measures segment profitability and performance using adjusted segment earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT). Adjusted segment EBIT is calculated as segment revenues less the related costs and expenses attributable to the segment. Adjusted segment EBIT excludes interest, taxes, general corporate expenses, restructuring charges, and other items not allocated to our segments. Management believes that adjusted segment EBIT provides investors a useful measure of operating performance and underlying trends of the business. Adjusted 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 adjusted segment EBIT to income or loss from continuing operations before taxes.

Discontinued Operations
On August 8, 2024, we entered into a series of transactions designed to facilitate an orderly wind-down of a majority of the Company’s Global Ecommerce reporting segment. In connection with the wind-down, an affiliate of Hilco Commercial Industrial, LLC (“Hilco”) subscribed for
81
% of the voting interests in the subsidiary, DRF Logistics, LLC owning a majority of the Global Ecommerce segment’s net assets and operations (DRF Logistics, LLC and its subsidiary, DRF LLC, the “Ecommerce Debtors”) for de minimis consideration
(the “GEC Sale”), with a subsidiary of Pitney Bowes retaining
19
% of the voting interests and

% of the economic interests.
Subsequent to the GEC Sale, the Ecommerce Debtors, at the direction of their own governing bodies, filed petitions to commence Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases and conduct an orderly wind-down of the Ecommerce Debtors (the “GEC Chapter 11 Cases”). As a result of the GEC Chapter 11 Cases, the Company determined that it no longer had control of the Ecommerce Debtors and therefore, the Ecommerce Debtors were deconsolidated. We refer to the GEC Sale, the GEC Chapter 11 Cases and any associated transactions as the “Ecommerce Restructuring”.
On November 25, 2024, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Ecommerce Debtors’ Third Amended Joint Plan of Liquidation (the “Plan”) and on December 9, 2024, the Plan became effective in accordance with its terms, substantially consummating the separation of the Company from the Ecommerce Debtors.
In connection with the GEC Chapter 11 Cases, we provided a senior secured, super-priority debtor-in-possession term loan (the "DIP Facility") to the Ecommerce Debtors and provided initial funding of $
28
million. Through March 31, 2025, we received payments of $
13
million. The remaining balance on the DIP Facility is fully reserved and any future distributions will be recorded as income in the period received.
We account for the investment in the Ecommerce Debtors using the equity method, but have ascribed a fair value of our economic interest in the Ecommerce Debtors of
zero
. We do not anticipate receiving any recovery or distribution from our economic equity interest and remain exposed to the economic risks and continued costs applicable to the Ecommerce Debtors through our investment in the DIP Facility.

Finance Assets and Lessor Operating Leases
Finance Assets
Finance receivables are comprised of sales-type leases, secured loans and unsecured loans. Sales-type leases and secured loans are financing options for the purchase or lease of Pitney Bowes equipment or other manufacturers' equipment and are generally due in installments over periods ranging from
to
five years
. Unsecured loans are revolving credit lines offered to our clients for postage, supplies and working capital purposes. Unsecured loans 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 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 establish credit approval limits based on the client's credit quality and the type of equipment financed. We cease financing revenue recognition for lease receivables and unsecured loan receivables that are more 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.
Activity in the allowance for credit losses for finance receivables was as follows:

Credit Quality
The extension 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 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 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. 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.

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 a 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.

PITNEY BOWES INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited; table amounts in thousands unless otherwise noted, except per share amounts)
•
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 / Asset-Backed Securities:
These securities are valued based on external pricing indices or external price/spread data. These securities are classified as Level 2.
Available-For-Sale Securities
Investment securities classified as available-for-sale are recorded at fair value. Changes in fair value due to market conditions are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL), and changes in fair value due to credit conditions are recorded in earnings. There were no changes in fair value charged to earnings in the three months ended March 31, 2025 or 2024.

At March 31, 2025, substantially all securities in the investment portfolio were in an unrealized loss position. However, we have not recorded an allowance for credit loss or an impairment charge as 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.

Actual maturities may not coincide with scheduled maturities as certain securities contain early redemption features and/or allow for the prepayment of obligations.
Held-to-Maturity Securities
Certain investment securities are classified as held-to-maturity and include certificates of deposits with maturities less than
90
days and highly-liquid government securities with maturities less than
two years
. Held-to-maturity securities at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 totaled $
133
million and $
203
million, respectively.
Derivative Instruments
We are exposed to the impact of changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We may use derivative instruments to limit the effects on our financial results from changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. We did not enter into any derivative instruments during the quarter ended March 31, 2025.
Interest Rate Swaps
At March 31, 2024, we had outstanding interest rate swap agreements that effectively converted $
200
million of variable rate debt to fixed rates. These swaps were designated as cash flow hedges. The swaps were recorded at fair value at the end of each reporting period with the change in fair value reflected in AOCL. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the amount recognized in AOCL was a loss of $
2
million and the amount reclassified from AOCL to earnings was a gain of $
3
million.

In the first quarter of 2025, we redeemed the remaining outstanding balance of the Notes due March 2028 and recorded a loss of $
17
million in other expense. Additionally, we entered into a new senior secured credit agreement (the "New Credit Agreement"), which provides for $
265
million revolving credit facility maturing March 2028, a $
160
million term loan maturing March 2028 and a $
615
million term loan maturing March 2032. The proceeds were used to repay the outstanding balances of the Term loan due March 2026 and Term loan due March 2028 and for general corporate purposes. We recorded a loss of $
8
million in connection with this refinance in other expense. We also purchased an aggregate $
23
million of the Notes due March 2027 and Notes due March 2029.
From April 1, 2025 through May 2, 2025, we purchased an additional aggregate $
14
million of the Notes due March 2027 and Notes due March 2029.
Under the New Credit Agreement, we are required to maintain (with maintenance tested quarterly) (i) a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) of not less than
2.00
to 1.00, (ii) a Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) of no greater than
3.00
to 1.00 and (iii) a Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) of no greater than (a)

Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 is
24.2
% and includes a benefit of $
2
million for the vesting of restricted stock. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 is
32.6
% and includes a charge of $
1
million for the vesting of restricted stock.
On a regular basis, we conclude tax return examinations, statutes of limitation expire, and court decisions interpret tax law. We regularly assess tax uncertainties in light of these developments; and 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
45
% of our unrecognized tax benefits.
14.
Commitments and Contingencies
From time to time, in the ordinary course of business, we are involved in litigation pertaining 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 customers, employees, or others.
On October 1, 2024, one of the Ecommerce Debtors filed a complaint against Trilogy Leasing Co., LLC (“Trilogy”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas seeking to recharacterize certain Equipment Supplements to which they are parties as disguised financings ("Recharacterization Proceeding"). On October 8, 2024, we filed a motion to intervene in support of the Ecommerce Debtors' position, which the court granted on April 1, 2025. The case is now proceeding.
On November 7, 2024, Trilogy and its parent company Kingsbridge Holdings, LLC brought suit against us in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, alleging that we are liable for certain Equipment Supplements that were executed by the Ecommerce Debtors and by Pitney Bowes Presort Services, LLC.
On December 16, 2024, we removed the litigation to the Northern District of Illinois based on diversity jurisdiction and subsequently filed a motion to dismiss, and to the extent not dismissed, stay the action pending the conclusion of the Recharacterization Proceeding.

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) contains statements that are forward-looking. We caution readers that any forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 (Securities Act) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) may change based on various factors. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based on current expectations and assumptions, which we believe are reasonable; however, such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results could differ materially from those projected or assumed in any of our forward-looking statements. Words such as "estimate," "target," "project," "plan," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "will," "forecast," "strategy," "goal," "should," "would," "could," "may" and similar expressions may identify such forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q speak only as of the date hereof.
Although we believe the expectations reflected in any of our forward-looking statements are reasonable, our results of operations, financial condition and forward-looking statements are subject to change and to inherent risks and uncertainties disclosed or incorporated by reference in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Other factors which could cause future financial 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 decline in physical mail volumes
•
inability to compete effectively with our Sending Technology Solutions competitors
•
changes in trade policies, tariffs and regulations
•
the loss of some of our larger clients in our Presort Services segment
•
global supply chain issues adversely impacting our third party suppliers' ability to provide us products and services
•
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 U.S. government shutdown, to the company and our clients
•
changes in foreign currency exchange rates
•
changes in labor and transportation availability and costs
•
inability to successfully execute on our strategic initiatives
•
loss of key employees and accumulated knowledge and ability to attract and retain employees
•
changes in government contracting regulations and inability to comply
•
inability to protect our intellectual property rights and intellectual property infringement claims
•
our success in developing and marketing new products and services and obtaining regulatory approvals, if required
•
changes within our senior management and Board of Directors
•
expenses and potential impacts resulting from cyber-attacks or other cybersecurity incidents affecting us or our suppliers
•
inability to comply with data privacy and protection laws and regulations
•
interruptions or difficulties in the operation of our cloud-based applications and systems or those of our suppliers
•
changes in credit ratings, capital market disruptions, decline in cash flows, noncompliance with debt covenants or significant withdrawals by depositors at the Pitney Bowes Bank that adversely impact our ability to access capital markets at reasonable costs
•
the potential for future interest rate increases on our cost of debt
•
our success at managing customer credit risk
•
the risks and uncertainties associated with the Ecommerce Restructuring
•
changes in banking regulations, major bank failures or the loss of our Industrial Bank charter
•
changes in tax rates, laws or regulations
•
changing expectations and regulations in the areas of Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG")
•
acts of nature and the impact of a pandemic on the Company and the services and solutions we offer
•
shareholder activism
Further information about factors that could materially affect us, including our results of operations and financial condition, is contained in Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our 2024 Annual Report, as supplemented by Part II, Item 1A in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Ecommerce Restructuring
On August 8, 2024, we entered into a series of transactions designed to facilitate an orderly wind-down of a majority the Company’s Global Ecommerce reporting segment. In connection with the wind-down, an affiliate of Hilco Commercial Industrial, LLC (“Hilco”) subscribed for 81% of the voting interests in the subsidiary, DRF Logistics, LLC owning a majority of the Global Ecommerce segment’s net assets and operations (DRF Logistics, LLC and its subsidiary, DRF LLC, the “Ecommerce Debtors”) for de minimis consideration (the “GEC Sale”), with a subsidiary of Pitney Bowes retaining 19% of the voting interests and 100% of the economic interests. Subsequent to the GEC Sale, the Ecommerce Debtors, at the direction of their own governing bodies, filed petitions to commence Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases and conduct an orderly wind down of the Ecommerce Debtors (the “GEC Chapter 11 Cases”). We refer to the GEC Sale, the GEC Chapter 11 Cases and any associated transactions as the “Ecommerce Restructuring”.
As a result of the Ecommerce Restructuring, certain revenues and expenses for the period ended March 31, 2024 are reported as discontinued operations in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Prior periods have been recast to conform to the current period presentation. For segment reporting purposes, the remaining portion of Global Ecommerce in continuing operations is now reported as "Other" and includes the revenue and related expenses of a cross-border services contract and prior operations and shared services. See Note 4 for further information.
Outlook
Within SendTech Solutions, mailing-related revenues are expected to decline driven by lower meter populations and a higher mix of lease extensions versus new equipment sales and leases. We expect this decline to be partially offset by growth in our shipping offerings, particularly our SaaS solutions. The shift to lease extensions will result in declining equipment sales in the near term, but more stable and continued cash flows over the lease term.
Within Presort Services, we expect revenue and margin improvements from the investments we made in automation and technology to drive increased efficiencies and productivity.
The U.S. government has recently announced a broad range of tariffs on goods imported into the United States. The amount of tariffs imposed has been volatile and is different for each country of origin. We are continuously assessing the potential impact these tariffs may have on our operations and considering various mitigating actions.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW OF CONSOLIDATED RESULTS
Constant Currency
In the tables below, we report the change in revenue on a reported basis and 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.

Revenue decreased $28 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year period due to lower products revenue of $21 million, lower services revenue of $4 million and lower financing and other revenue of $3 million.
Costs of revenue decreased $24 million primarily due to lower cost of products of $12 million, lower cost of services of $9 million and lower cost of financing and other of $3 million.
Total operating expenses decreased $3 million compared to the prior year period primarily due to:
•
lower selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense of $21 million primarily due to lower employee-related expenses of $25 million driven by actions taken under the 2024 Plan;
•
lower research and development costs of $3 million primarily due to cost savings initiatives; and
•
lower restructuring charges of $2 million driven by actions taken under the 2023 and 2024 Plans; partially offset by
•
Other expense in the first quarter of 2025 of $24 million, primarily due to a loss on the redemption/refinancing of debt.

See Note 13 for more information.
As a result of the above, income from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2025 was $35 million compared to $32 million in the prior year period. Net loss for the first quarter of 2024 was $3 million and includes a loss from discontinued operations, net of tax of $35 million. See Note 4 for more information.

SEGMENT RESULTS
Effective January 1, 2025, we revised our reporting presentation of revenue and cost of revenue in order to better align with our offerings. Additionally, due to a change in how these functions are now managed, we revised our corporate expense allocation methodology to allocate all marketing and innovation expenses to our SendTech Solutions segment. Prior periods have been recast to conform to the current period presentation.
We allocate a portion our total interest expense to finance interest expense, included in Cost of financing and other in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Management measures segment profitability and performance as segment revenues less the related costs and expenses attributable to the segment. Segment results exclude interest, including finance interest expense, taxes, corporate expenses, restructuring charges and other items not allocated to the segments.

SendTech Solutions revenue decreased $29 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year period, which includes an unfavorable adjustment of $4 million related to prior periods. Products revenue declined $21 million primarily due to customers opting to extend leases of their existing advanced-technology equipment rather than purchase new equipment, the impact of the prior year product migration and a significant deal in the prior year. Services revenue declined $6 million primarily due to the declining meter population, which was partially offset by growth in our shipping subscriptions. Financing and other revenue declined $3 million.
Gross margin declined $13 million compared to the prior year period primarily driven by lower revenue; however, gross margin percentage increased to 68.9% from 66.6% driven by headcount reductions and other cost savings initiatives.

SG&A expense declined $12 million, primarily driven by lower employee-related expenses and overall cost savings initiatives.
Adjusted segment EBIT was $95 million in the first quarter of 2025, which includes the $4 million charge from the unfavorable revenue adjustment related to prior periods compared to $94 million for the prior year period.

The processing of First Class Mail and Marketing Mail contributed revenue increases of $13 million and $1 million, respectively, which was partially offset by a revenue decrease from Marketing Mail Flats/Bound Printed Matter of $6 million. Prior year revenue includes a $5 million favorable adjustment related to prior periods. See Note 1 for more information.
Gross margin increased $11 million and gross margin percentage increased from 36.8% in the prior period to 41.2% primarily due to the increase in revenue, lower transportation costs of $1 million driven by lane optimization and lower labor costs of $1 million.
SG&A expense declined $4 million compared to the prior year period driven primarily by lower credit loss provision of $2 million and lower employee related expenses of $1 million.
Adjusted segment EBIT was $55 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $40 million in the prior year period, which includes the $5 million benefit from the favorable revenue adjustment.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our ability to maintain adequate liquidity for our operations is dependent upon a number of factors, including our revenue and earnings, our ability to manage costs and improve productivity, our clients' ability to pay their balances on a timely basis and the impacts of changing macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions. At March 31, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $340 million, which includes $43 million held at our foreign subsidiaries used to support their liquidity needs. At this time, we believe that existing cash and investments, cash generated from operations and borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to fund our cash needs for the next 12 months.

Operating Activities
Cash flows from operating activities for the first quarter of 2025 declined $4 million compared to the prior year period driven primarily by the annual payment of incentive awards, partially offset by higher income and lower cash outflows from discontinued operations.
Investing Activities
Cash flows from investing activities for the first quarter of 2025 declined $34 million compared to the prior year period primarily due to higher investments in loan receivables of $35 million, higher capital expenditures of $3 million and $2 million for a Presort Services acquisition, partially offset by lower cash outflows from discontinued operations of $6 million.
Financing Activities
Cash flows from financing activities for the first quarter of 2025 declined $27 million compared to the prior year period primarily due to the fees to redeem and refinance debt of $21 million and repurchases of our common stock of $15 million.
We paid dividends of $11 million in the quarter. Each quarter, our Board of Directors considers whether to approve the payment of a dividend. We currently expect to continue paying a quarterly dividend; however, no assurances can be given.
Debt and Financing Activities
In the first quarter of 2025, we redeemed the remaining outstanding balance of the Notes due March 2028 and recorded a loss of $17 million in other expense. Additionally, we entered into a new senior secured credit agreement (the "New Credit Agreement"), which provides for $265 million revolving credit facility maturing March 2028, a $160 million term loan maturing March 2028 and a $615 million term loan maturing March 2032. The proceeds were used to repay the outstanding balances of the Term loan due March 2026 and Term loan due March 2028 and for general corporate purposes. We recorded a loss of $8 million in connection with this refinance in other expense. We also purchased an aggregate $23 million of the Notes due March 2027 and Notes due March 2029.
From April 1, 2025 through May 2, 2025, we purchased an additional aggregate 14 million of the Notes due March 2027 and Notes due March 2029.
Under the New Credit Agreement, we are required to maintain (with maintenance tested quarterly) (i) a Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) of not less than 2.00 to 1.00, (ii) a Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) of no greater than 3.00 to 1.00 and (iii) a Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) of no greater than (a) 5.25 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025, (b) 5.00 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2025 and (c) 4.75 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter ending on or after March 31, 2026. At March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with these financial covenants and there were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility. Borrowings under our New Credit Agreement are secured by assets of the Company.
The New Credit Agreement also contains provisions whereby if, on any day between the period commencing on September 14, 2026 and ending on March 15, 2027 the Notes due March 2027 have not been redeemed in full and liquidity is less than an amount equal to
32
the amount to redeem the Notes due March 2027 plus $100 million, the Term loan due March 2028 and any borrowings under the revolving credit facility would become due on such date (the "Pro Rata Springing Maturity Date"), and if on any date during the period beginning on December 14, 2026 and ending on March 15, 2027, the Notes due March 2027 remain outstanding and the Pro Rata Springing Maturity Date has occurred, the Term loan due March 2032 would be become due on such date. We are considering various strategies and fully intend to redeem the Notes due March 2027 before September 2026 either with available cash on hand or refinance through the capital markets.
In connection with the GEC Chapter 11 Cases, the Company, through one of its wholly owned subsidiaries, agreed to provide funding to the Ecommerce Debtors through a DIP Facility. We provided initial funding of $28 million and to-date, have received repayments of $13 million. The remaining balance on the DIP Facility is fully reserved and any future distributions will be recorded as income in the period received.
