Pitney Bowes management commentary on their 3rd quarter 2020 earnings report

STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 30, 2020-- Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE: PBI), a global technology company that provides commerce solutions in the areas of ecommerce, shipping, mailing and financial services, today announced its financial results for the third quarter 2020.
“We grew revenue 13 percent in the third quarter, which is the strongest organic revenue growth rate we have achieved in well over a decade,” said Marc B. Lautenbach, President and CEO, Pitney Bowes. “I am extremely proud of what the team has accomplished, especially during these challenging times.
“Several years ago, we implemented a strategy to shift our portfolio to the growth areas of the market,” Lautenbach continued. “The investments we have made are paying off especially with our shipping-related revenues, which comprise half of our overall revenue. Although uncertainties remain given the Covid-19 pandemic, we are pleased with the momentum in our businesses and believe we are well positioned to capitalize on the market opportunities ahead of us.”
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.
