The North America Mailing business accelerated the implementation of the SMB go-to-market strategy, resulting in lower equipment sales revenue in the first two months of the quarter. Results in the month of June, however, were back on trend. Recurring revenue streams declined at a lesser rate than prior year, supporting the Company’s long-term stabilization objective, and benefited from continued growth in supplies revenue.

As a result of the accelerated go-to-market implementation and lower marketing spend than the previous year, EBIT margin improved during the quarter.
