Increases Quarterly Dividend From $0.06 to $0.07 Reaffirms Full-Year Financial Guidance Following Strong Q1 Performance for SendTech and Presort Shares Update on New Cost Reduction and Deleveraging Initiatives to Continue Strengthening the Company’s Financial Position STAMFORD, Conn., May 07, 2025 --( BUSINESS WIRE )--Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE: PBI) ("Pitney Bowes" or the "Company"), a technology-driven services company that provides SaaS shipping solutions, mailing innovation and financial services to clients around the world, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025. The Company also announced that it is reiterating its full-year outlook, taking additional steps to cut costs and deleverage, and increasing its quarterly dividend for a second consecutive quarter. First Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights Capital Allocation Update Overview – First Quarter and Full-Year Initiatives Lance Rosenzweig, Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, commented: "Continuing to execute on our strategic initiatives drove significant profitability in the quarter and has put us on track for a very strong year. Even in the current macroeconomic environment, we remain on track to meaningfully grow cash flow and earnings over the course of 2025. We are also continuing to cut additional costs, deleverage the balance sheet and expand in profitable growth markets like shipping technology. All of these steps are allowing us to accelerate the return of capital to shareholders, including another increase in our dividend. We are also focused on realizing the value of our Global Financial Services business, which has been a hidden gem. As we look to the second quarter, we will continue to pursue the many opportunities we have to enhance value and serve one of the world’s most enviable client bases." Earnings per share results are summarized in the table below: Business Segment Reporting Corporate Expense Allocation Methodology Effective January 1, 2025, the Company updated its Corporate expense allocation methodology. Marketing and innovation expenses are now reported in the SendTech Solutions segment. Prior periods have been recast to reflect this change in methodology. SendTech Solutions SendTech Solutions offers physical and digital shipping and mailing technology solutions, financing, services, supplies and other applications for small and medium businesses, retail, enterprise, and government clients around the world to help simplify and save on the sending, tracking and receiving of letters, parcels and flats. SendTech revenue declined in line with expectations due to near-term headwinds associated with the end of the recent product migration and the ongoing shift from equipment placement to lease extensions. In addition, revenue was adversely impacted by non-recurring items including an unfavorable prior period accounting adjustment of $4 million and difficult year-over-year comparison from a $4 million government deal in the prior year period. The underlying SendTech business remains strong. Improvement in Adjusted Segment EBITDA and EBIT was driven by simplification and cost reduction initiatives. 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. Higher revenue per piece, improved productivity, and cost reduction initiatives drove the increase in Adjusted Segment EBITDA and EBIT. Full Year 2025 Guidance Pitney Bowes reaffirms its full-year guidance. Full-year guidance is as follows: Conference Call and Webcast Management of Pitney Bowes will discuss the Company’s results in a webcast today at 5:00 p.m. ET.

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, restructuring charges, corporate expenses, and other items not allocated to a business segment. 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 revenue growth on a constant currency basis, 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 free cash flow. Revenue growth is presented on a constant currency basis to exclude the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates since the prior period under comparison. Constant currency is calculated by converting the current period non-U.S. dollar denominated revenue using the prior year’s exchange rate for the comparable quarter. We believe that excluding the impacts of currency exchange rates provides a better understanding of the underlying revenue performance. 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 to our core business operations. Beginning in the third quarter of 2024, as a result of the Ecommerce Restructuring, we also exclude from these measures the operating results of GEC operations that we are also in the process of exiting that did not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. These operations individually did not qualify for discontinued operations but were part of management's strategic review to exit the GEC business. These operations have either been fully dissolved or are expected to be completely dissolved by the end of the first half of 2025. We believe that excluding these amounts improves the usefulness of these measures as these results are not consistent with our ongoing operations. Previously reported periods have been revised to conform to the current period presentation. 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 better insight into the amount of cash available for other discretionary uses.
