Pitney Bowes Announces Third Quarter 2016 Financial Results

GAAP Cash from Operations and Free Cash Flow Results

GAAP cash from operations during the quarter was $137 million while free cash flow was $119 million. In comparison to the prior year, free cash flow declined due to timing of accounts payable.

During the quarter, the Company used cash to pay $35 million in dividends to common shareholders, $25 million for the Maponics acquisition and $17 million for restructuring payments.

Debt Management

During the quarter, the Company issued $600 million of 3.375 percent 5-year fixed rate notes. The issuance will be a debt neutral transaction as the Company paid down commercial paper outstanding during the quarter and is redeeming all $300 million of outstanding shares of the Pitney Bowes International Holdings preferred stock on November 1, 2016.
