Revenue increased driven by strong volume growth in Domestic Parcel, Digital Delivery and Cross Border Services. EBIT margin improved from prior year driven by increased volumes, partly offset by investments to support growth and gain share along with incremental costs associated with Covid-19.

Presort Services

Revenue improved from second quarter as the year-over-year volume declines moderated. Revenue declined from prior year due to lower Marketing Mail and First Class volumes processed. Marketing Mail Flats and Bound Printed Matter volumes continued to grow at a double-digit rate over prior year. EBIT and EBITDA margins improved slightly quarter-to-quarter. Compared to prior year, EBIT and EBITDA margins were impacted primarily by the lower revenue.

SendTech Solutions

Revenue improved from second quarter as year-over-year declines moderated. Revenue declined from prior year largely driven by lower equipment sales, support services, supplies and financing. Business services revenues grew over prior year as clients increased their usage of shipping offerings and capabilities. EBIT and EBITDA margins declined from prior year primarily driven by the lower revenue performance.

2020 Guidance

Given the continued level of uncertainty around the depth and duration of Covid-19, the Company will not provide guidance which is consistent with prior quarters.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

The Company's financial results are reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP); however, in its disclosures the Company uses certain non-GAAP measures, such as adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted earnings per share (EPS), revenue growth on a constant currency basis and free cash flow.

The Company reports measures such as adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS to exclude the impact of items like discontinued operations, restructuring charges, gains, losses and costs related to acquisitions and dispositions, asset impairment charges, goodwill impairment charges and other unusual or one-time items. While these are actual Company income or expenses, they can mask underlying trends associated with its business. Such items are often inconsistent in amount and frequency and as such, the non-GAAP measures provide investors greater insight into the underlying operating trends of the business.

In addition, 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 investors a better understanding of the underlying revenue performance. A reconciliation of reported revenue to constant currency revenue can be found in the attached financial schedules.

The Company reports free cash flow in order to provide investors insight into the amount of cash that management could have available for other discretionary uses. Free cash flow adjusts GAAP cash from operations for cash flows of discontinued operations, capital expenditures, restructuring payments, changes in customer deposits held at the Pitney Bowes Bank, transaction costs and other special items. A reconciliation of GAAP cash from operations to free cash flow can be found in the attached financial schedules.

Segment EBIT is the primary measure of profitability and operational performance at the segment level. Segment EBIT is determined by deducting from segment revenue the related costs and expenses attributable to the segment. Segment EBIT excludes interest, taxes, general corporate expenses not allocated to a particular business segment, restructuring charges and goodwill and asset impairments, which are recognized on a consolidated basis. The Company also provides segment EBITDA, which further excludes depreciation and amortization expense for the segment, as an additional useful measure of segment profitability and operational performance. A reconciliation of segment EBIT and EBITDA to net income can be found in the attached financial schedules.

Pitney Bowes has provided a quantitative reconciliation to GAAP in supplemental schedules. This information can be found at the Company's web site www.pb.com/investorrelations.
