PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General

We are a global provider of technology solutions helping small, mid-sized and large firms connect to customers to build loyalty and grow revenue. We deliver our solutions on open platforms to best organize, analyze and apply public and proprietary data to two-way customer communications. We offer solutions for direct mail, transactional mail, customer engagement management and analytics and e-commerce parcel management, along with digital channel messaging for the Web, email and mobile applications. We continue to develop and invest in products, software, services and solutions that help our clients grow their business by more effectively communicating with their customers across physical, digital and hybrid channels.

Our Strategy and Business Segments
Our current strategy is to focus on three critical areas: stabilizing the mailing business, achieving operational excellence and driving growth within our digital commerce solutions segment. During 2013, we sold our International Management Services business (PBMSi), North America Management Services business (PBMS NA), Nordic furniture business and International Mailing Services business (IMS). Further, we made certain organizational changes and realigned our business units to reflect how we manage, review, analyze and measure our operations. Our business is now organized around three distinct sets of solutions -- Small and Medium Business (SMB) Solutions, Enterprise Business Solutions and Digital Commerce Solutions. See Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for financial information concerning our reporting segments.
Small and Medium Business Solutions
Within SMB Solutions, we provide a full range of mailing equipment and postage meters, maintenance and support services and supplies that enable our clients to efficiently create mail and evidence postage. We segment our SMB Solutions business between our North America operations, comprising the U.S. and Canadian businesses, and our International operations. We are a leading provider of postage meters and have approximately one million meters installed in North America and over three-hundred thousand meters installed elsewhere.
We also offer numerous shipping management solutions that enable our clients to select the best carrier based on need and cost, improve delivery times, track packages in real-time and reduce transportation and logistics costs. In addition, we offer scalable global logistics management systems that can be integrated into mail centers, as well as desktop and production shipping environments.
In the United States, we offer our clients who rent or lease our mailing equipment and postage meters a variety of financing solutions. Through our wholly owned subsidiary, The Pitney Bowes Bank (the Bank), we offer a revolving credit solution that enables our clients to finance their postage costs and supply purchases. The Bank also provides a deposit solution to those clients that prefer to prepay postage and earn interest on their deposits. The Bank is chartered as an Industrial Bank under the laws of the State of Utah, and regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Utah Department of Financial Institutions.
This business is characterized by a high level of recurring revenue driven by rental, lease and loan arrangements, contract maintenance services and supply sales.
Enterprise Business Solutions
Enterprise Business Solutions includes equipment and services that enable large enterprises to process inbound and outbound mail. We segment our Enterprise Business Solutions group between our Production Mail operations and Presort Services operations.
Production Mail
Our product and service offerings enable our clients to create high-value, relevant and timely communications targeted to their customers. The core products within this segment include high-speed, high-volume inserting equipment, customized sortation products and high-speed digital color printing systems. Inserting equipment folds mail pieces and inserts them into envelopes, while sorting equipment enables clients to sort high-volumes of mail by zip code and realize reduced postage costs.

3

With our high-speed digital color printing systems, we offer our clients a "White Paper Factory" solution. Our White Paper Factory solution is an end-to-end solution that allows our clients to start with a simple roll of white paper, create and print mail pieces, insert these mail pieces into envelopes formed from the roll of white paper, apply the appropriate postage to the envelope, and finally sort the envelopes by zip code and realize reduced postage costs. We have a strategic alliance with a major printing products company to offer our clients high-volume professional quality production printers.
Presort Services
We are a national outsource provider of mail presort services for first-class and standard-class mail in the U.S. and a workshare partner of the United States Postal Service (USPS). Our Presort Services network provides mailers with end-to-end solutions from pick up at their location to delivery into the postal system. Approximately 90 billion pieces of U.S. first-class, standard-class and flat mail are processed annually by third-parties like us and through in-house operations. Through our network of 33 U.S. locations, and with our fully-customized proprietary technology, we process approximately nearly 15 billion pieces of mail annually and are able to expedite mail delivery and optimize postage savings for our clients. Our client volumes represent less than 25% of all automated first-class, standard-class and flat mail.

Digital Commerce Solutions
Within Digital Commerce Solutions (DCS), we provide a broad range of software solutions, customer engagement and communication solutions, data management products and solutions, e-commerce parcel management solutions and targeted direct marketing programs. Our digital commerce solutions are primarily delivered as traditional software licenses, enterprise platforms, software-as-a-service (SaaS) and on-demand applications.

Our software solutions integrate data quality, geocoding, location intelligence and predictive analytics into every-day workflows and business systems. Our location intelligence solutions enable our clients to organize and understand the complex relationships between geographic and other forms of data to drive business decisions. Our products and solutions use predictive analytics, geographic and socio-demographic characteristics of a consumer base or network to enable our clients to gain a more complete and accurate view of its business and more efficiently manage operations and drive revenue. Our robust, single-source global geocoding and reverse geocoding technologies cover more than 200 countries.

Our customer engagement solutions offer our clients a pathway to customer engagement creating value at every stepand every touch point. With our customer engagement solutions, our clients can create, manage and control wide-spread customer communications in a coordinated, consistent and efficient manner. Coupled with our high-speed, high-volume inserting equipment, sortation products and digital printing systems, we are able to provide our clients an all-inclusive solution that enables them to create, print and distribute wide-spread targeted customer communications. Our solutions enable our clients to create positive connected experiences that positively influence future consumer behavior and generate stronger revenue growth and profits.

Our data management products and solutions, including our postal compliant address quality products, help companies harness and deliver a deep and broad understanding of their customers and their context, such as location, relationships, propensity, sentiment and influence. The trusted data and associated insights are crucial for supporting critical business needs such as personalized customer experience, managing risk and compliance, and improving sales, marketing and service effectiveness. We are one of the market leaders in the data quality segment with large corporations and government agencies deploying our products in very complex, high-volume, transactional environments to support their mission-critical business processes.

International markets for e-commerce trade are experiencing significant growth; however, shipping and tracking parcels cross borders have significantly higher shipping fees, import/export fees, duties, taxes and brokerage fees, strict regulations and restrictions, parcel tracking issues and complex customs documentation. For most merchants, determining the full costs to ship a parcel internationally can be difficult and uncertain, and often results in additional costs being charged to the buyer upon delivery or those additional costs being borne by the merchant.

Our cross-border e-commerce software platform is currently utilized by over 20 merchants enabling millions of transactions, providing virtually immediate commodity classifications and total landed cost calculations. We offer a suite of services that leverage this platform and our expertise in shipping management to enable merchants to accurately calculate the total costs to ship a parcel internationally, comply with all import/export complexities, restrictions, regulations and documentation requirements and provide reliable tracking information. We will continue to invest in our platform to enhance existing solutions, provide additional solutions and meet evolving client needs and expectations to capture this growth opportunity.

We offer targeted direct and digital marketing programs to large advertisers that enable them to connect with movers. Through a contract with the USPS, we produce a "Movers’ Guide" in both printed and digital format with targeted advertisers’ coupons that is available to movers when they complete a change of address form and a "Welcome Kit" with targeted advertisers’ coupons that is delivered to movers

at their new address shortly after they move. We also offer digital advertising programs through MyMove.com, a move related web-site we own and operate.
  
Our digital mail delivery services include an interactive digital communications exchange in which businesses can communicate with consumers about important transactions via a variety of participating channels.

Support Services
We have a client care service organization of over 2,000 service technicians in North America and 900 service technicians internationally. Our technicians diagnose and repair our increasingly complex mailing equipment and sophisticated software solutions. Most of our support services are provided under annual maintenance contracts.

Sales and Marketing
We have begun implementing a phased roll-out of our new "go-to-market" strategy in our SMB businesses designed to improve the sales process and reduce costs by providing our clients broader access to products and services though online and direct sales channels. We also market our products and services through our sales force, direct mailings, outbound telemarketing and independent distributors. We sell to a variety of business, governmental, institutional and other organizations. We have a broad base of clients and we are not dependent upon any one client or type of client for a significant part of our total revenue.

Competition
All of our businesses face competition from a number of companies. Our competitors range from large, multinational companies that compete against many of our businesses to smaller, more narrowly focused regional and local firms. We compete on the basis of technology and innovation; breadth of product offerings; our ability to design and tailor solutions to specific client needs; performance; client service and support; price; quality and brand.

We must continue to invest in our current technologies, products and solutions, and in the development of new technologies, products and solutions in order to maintain and improve our competitive position. As we transition to higher value markets and offerings, and enter new markets, we will encounter new competitors.

A summary of the competitive environment for our business segments is as follows:

Small & Medium Business Solutions
We are a global market leader in postage meter placements. In addition to competition from other mail machine companies, we face competition from companies that offer products and services as alternative means of message communications. The principal competitive factors in these markets include price, product reliability, support services, industry knowledge and expertise and attractiveness of alternative communication methods. Our competitive advantage includes our breadth of product offerings, our innovative web-based digital products, customer service and our extensive knowledge of the mailing industry.

Enterprise Business Solutions
Production Mail
We face competition from a small number of companies that offer large production printers, inserters or sorters, but only a few companies are able to offer all of these products and integrate them into an end-to-end solution. We also face competition for support services from outsource providers. The principal competitive factors in this business segment include functionality, reliability, productivity, price and support. We believe we have a competitive advantage as our equipment provides a wider range of features and functionality and greater productivity than our competitors, which drives a higher investment return for our clients.

Presort Services
We are a significant third-party presort service provider in the United States and the only provider with a national network. We primarily face competition from smaller regional and local presort providers. We also compete for the business of some large entities which have the capability to presort their own mailings in-house, but these businesses generally do not compete directly with us for additional business and volumes. The principal competitive factors in this segment include innovative service, delivery speed, industry experience and expertise and economies of scale. Our competitive advantage includes our extensive network, size of our presort facilities and our innovative and proprietary technology that enables us to provide our clients with reliable and accurate services at maximum discounts.

5

Digital Commerce Solutions
The Digital Commerce Solutions segment operates in several highly competitive and rapidly evolving markets. We face competition from large global companies that offer a broad range of solutions to smaller, more narrowly-focused companies that can design very targeted solutions. The principal competitive factors in this segment include reliability, functionality and ease of use, scalability, innovation, support services and price. We compete in this segment based on the accuracy and processing speed of our solutions, particularly those used in our location intelligence and e-commerce parcel management solutions. The breadth and scalability of our products and solutions, our single-sourced geocoding and reverse geocoding capabilities and our ability to identify rapidly changing customer needs and requirements and develop technologies and solutions to meet these changing needs and requirements are also key factors.

Our direct marketing services products compete for a portion of our clients' overall marketing budget by demonstrating the value of our products and services relative to other marketing programs available to our advertising clients.

Customer Financing
We offer a variety of finance and payment solutions to our clients to finance their equipment and product purchases, rental and lease payments, postage replenishment and supplies purchases. We establish credit approval limits and procedures based on the credit quality of the client and the type of product or service provided to control risk in extending credit to clients. In addition, we utilize an automatic approval program for certain leases. This program is designed to facilitate low dollar transactions by utilizing historical payment patterns and losses realized for clients with common credit characteristics. The program defines the criteria under which we will accept a client without performing a more detailed credit investigation, such as maximum equipment cost, a client's time in business and payment experience. 

We closely monitor the portfolio by analyzing industry sectors and delinquency trends by product line, industry and client to ensure reserve levels and credit policies reflect current trends. Management continues to closely monitor credit lines, collection resources and revise credit policies as necessary to be more selective in managing the portfolio.

We provide financing solutions to our clients through the Bank. The Bank's key product offering, Purchase Power, is a revolving credit solution, which enables clients to rent, lease or purchase products, supplies and services. The Bank also provides a deposit solution to those clients that prefer to prepay postage and earn interest on their deposits. The Bank is regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Utah Department of Financial Institutions. The Bank's assets consist primarily of cash, finance receivables and investments and liabilities consist primarily of deposit accounts. At December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Bank had assets of $779 million and $796 million, respectively, and liabilities of $734 million and $733 million, respectively.

Our financing operations face competition, in varying degrees, from large, diversified financial institutions, including leasing companies, commercial finance companies and commercial banks, to small, specialized firms.

Research, Development and Intellectual Property
We invest in research and development programs to develop new products and service offerings and deliver high value technology, innovative software and differentiated services in high value segments of the market. We will continue to invest a substantial percentage of our total research and development budget in the growth areas of our business to develop, among other things, new customer engagement, location intelligence and e-commerce cross-border parcel management solutions. Our expenditures for research and development were $110 million, $114 million and $129 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
As a result of our research and development efforts, we have been awarded a number of patents with respect to several of our existing and planned products. We do not believe our businesses are materially dependent on any one patent or license or any group of related patents or group of related licenses.

Material Suppliers
We depend on third-party suppliers for a variety of services, components, supplies and a large portion of our product manufacturing. In certain instances, we rely on single sourced or limited sourced suppliers around the world because the relationship is advantageous due to quality, price, or there are no alternative sources. We have not historically experienced shortages in services, components or products and believe that our available sources for materials, components, services and supplies are adequate.

Regulatory Matters
We are subject to the regulations of postal authorities worldwide related to product specifications and business practices involving our postage meters.

Employees and Employee Relations
At December 31, 2013, we have approximately 11,400 employees in North America and 4,700 employees internationally. We believe that our current relations with employees are good. Management follows the policy of keeping employees informed of decisions and encourages and implements employee suggestions whenever practicable.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the disclosures and other information discussed in this report, the following risk factors should be considered in evaluating our business. We manage and mitigate these risks on a proactive basis, including through the use of an enterprise risk management program. Nevertheless, the following risk factors, some of which may be beyond our control, could materially impact our business, financial condition, results of operations, brand and reputation, and may cause future results to be materially different than our current expectations. These risk factors are not intended to be all inclusive.

We are subject to postal regulations and processes, which could adversely affect our revenue and profitability.
The majority of our revenue is directly or indirectly subject to regulation and oversight by postal authorities worldwide. We depend on a healthy postal sector in the geographic markets where we do business, which could be influenced positively or negatively by legislative or regulatory changes in those countries. Our profitability and revenue in a particular country could be affected by adverse changes in postal regulations, the business processes and practices of individual posts, the decision of a post to enter into particular markets in direct competition with us and the impact of any of these changes on postal competitors that do not use our products or services. These changes could affect product specifications, service offerings, client behavior and the overall mailing industry. Further, if we are found to have violated postal regulations, we could be subject to fines or civil or criminal penalties.

If we are not successful at addressing the challenges that face our mailing business as we transition to more digital offerings and other services, our results of operations and profitability could be adversely impacted.
The volume of physical mail delivered via traditional postal services has been declining and is projected to continue to decline through the end of the decade. The historical decline in mail volumes has had an adverse impact on our revenues and profitability and is expected to continue to influence our revenue and profitability in the future. We have embarked upon a set of new strategies to stabilize our mailing business by providing our clients broader access to products and services through online and direct sales channels, the introduction of new products and services and the transition of our current products and services to more digital offerings, while implementing cost efficiencies in our sales support processes. The margins associated with these digital offerings are typically lower than our traditional mailing business and there is no guarantee that these offerings will be widely accepted in the marketplace. Further, if they are accepted, they will face competition from existing and emerging alternative products and services.
Even if the above strategies are successful at stabilizing our mailing business, an accelerated or sudden decline in physical mail volumes could have an adverse effect on our mailing business. An accelerated or sudden decline could result from, among other things, changes in our clients' communication behavior, changes in communications technologies or legislation or regulations that mandate electronic substitution, prohibit certain types of mailings, increase the difficulty of using information or materials in the mail, or impose higher taxes or fees on mailing or postal services.
If we are not successful at implementing the strategies to stabilize our mailing business, or if physical mail volumes were to experience an accelerated or sudden decline, our client base, market share and financial results could be negatively impacted.

We may not be successful in the development, marketing and sales of our digital commerce solutions products, which could adversely affect our revenues and profitability.
We are executing on a strategy to grow revenue significantly in our Digital Commerce Solutions segment, including allocating a significant percentage of our total research and development budget to this segment to develop, among other things, new customer engagement, location intelligence and e-commerce cross-border parcel management solutions. The process of developing new technologies, products and solutions can be costly and uncertain, and if we are not successful at identifying rapidly changing customer needs and developing new technologies and solutions to meet these needs at competitive prices, our revenue and profitability could be adversely affected.

We depend on third-party suppliers and outsource providers and our business could be adversely affected if we fail to manage these constituents effectively.
We depend on third-party suppliers and outsource providers for a variety of services, components and supplies, including a large portion of our product manufacturing and some non-core functions and operations. In certain instances, we rely on single sourced or limited sourced suppliers and outsourcing vendors around the world because doing so is advantageous due to quality, price or lack of alternative sources. If production or services were interrupted and we were not able to find alternate third-party suppliers, we could experience disruptions in manufacturing and operations including product shortages, higher freight costs and re-engineering costs. If outsourcing services were interrupted, not performed, or the performance was poor, our ability to process, record and report transactions with our clients and other constituents could be impacted. Such interruptions in the provision of supplies and/or services could impact our ability to meet client demand, damage our reputation and client relationships and adversely affect our revenue and profitability.

8

Capital market disruptions and credit rating downgrades could adversely affect our ability to provide financing services to our clients and to fund various discretionary priorities, including business investments, acquisitions and dividend payments.
Our continued ability to provide financing services to our clients for equipment, postage and supplies purchases to our clients is largely dependent upon our continued access to the U.S. capital markets. We are currently funding our financing activities with a combination of cash generated from operations, deposits held in the Bank and commercial paper and other borrowings. Our ability to access the U.S. capital markets and the cost associated with our funding activities is dependent on our credit ratings and market volatility.
A credit ratings downgrade, material capital market disruptions, significant withdrawals by depositors at the Bank, adverse changes to our industrial loan charter or a significant decline in cash flow could impact our ability to provide competitive finance offerings to our clients. In addition, if such events occurred, there can be no assurance that liquidity funding sources would be available or sufficient and that related costs would not adversely impact our ability to fund various discretionary priorities, including business investments, acquisitions and dividend payments.

Failure to comply with privacy laws and other related regulations could subject us to significant liability and damage our reputation.
Several of our businesses use, process and store proprietary information and confidential data relating to our businesses, clients and employees. Privacy laws and similar regulations in many jurisdictions where we do business, as well as contractual provisions, require that we take significant steps to safeguard this information. These laws are continuing to evolve.  We have security systems and procedures in place designed to protect against unauthorized access to such information. However, there is no guarantee that experienced computer programmers or hackers will not be able to breach our security systems and misappropriate confidential information. Any significant violations of data privacy, disclosure of other confidential information or failure to comply with any of these laws, regulations or contract provisions could damage our reputation and business and subject us to significant costs and/or liability.  In addition, the cost and operational consequences of implementing further data protection measures could be significant.

A disruption of our information technology systems could adversely impact our business and operating results.
The continuous and uninterrupted performance of our information technology systems is critical to our ability to support and service our clients, to support postal services and to manage our business. We maintain secure systems to collect revenue for certain postal services, which is critical to enable both our systems and the postal systems to run reliably. In addition, we rely extensively on our computer systems to manage our business. These systems are subject to adverse acts of nature, targeted or random security breaches, cyber-attacks, computer viruses, vandalism, power loss, computer or communications failures and other unexpected events. Although we have disaster recovery plans in place to protect our business operations in case of such events, those plans may not be successful. If our information technology systems are damaged or cease to function properly, we could be prevented from fulfilling orders and servicing clients and postal services. Also, we may have to make a significant investment to repair or replace these systems, and could suffer loss of critical data and interruptions or delays in our operations.

Our inability to obtain and protect our intellectual property and defend against claims of infringement by others may negatively impact our operating results.
We rely on copyright, trade secret, patent and other intellectual property laws in the United States and similar laws in other countries to establish and protect proprietary rights that are important to our business. If we fail to enforce our intellectual property rights, our business may suffer. We, our clients, or our suppliers, may be subject to third-party claims of infringement on intellectual property rights. These claims, if successful, may require us to redesign affected products, enter into costly settlement or license agreements, pay damage awards, or face a temporary or permanent injunction prohibiting us from marketing or selling certain products .

We may not realize the anticipated benefits of strategic acquisitions and divestitures, which may harm our financial results.
As we increase our focus towards providing more digital technology and software solutions while maintaining a leadership role in the mailing industry, we may divest certain businesses or make strategic acquisitions. These divestitures and acquisitions may involve significant risks and uncertainties, which could have an adverse effect on our operating results, including:
 	 	
•	the loss of key employees or clients of businesses acquired or divested;	
 	 	
•	significant charges to earnings for employee severance and other restructuring costs, goodwill and asset impairments and legal, accounting and financial advisory fees;	
 	 	
•	difficulties in achieving anticipated benefits or synergies from acquisitions and divestitures;	
 	 	
•	difficulties in integrating newly acquired businesses and operations, including combining product and service offerings and entering new markets, or reducing fixed costs previously associated with divested assets or businesses; and	
 	 	
•	difficulties in identifying and separating intellectual property to be divested from intellectual property we wish to keep.	

If we are not successful at realizing the anticipated benefits of strategic acquisitions and divestitures, our financial results could be negatively impacted.

If we fail to comply with government contracting regulations, our operating results, brand name and reputation could suffer.
We have a significant number of contracts with governmental entities. Government contracts are subject to extensive and complex procurement laws and regulations, along with regular audits of contract pricing and our business practices by government agencies. If we are found to have violated some provisions of these contracts, we could be required to provide a refund, pay significant damages, or be subject to contract cancellation, civil or criminal penalties, fines or debarment from doing business with the government. Any of these events could not only affect us financially, but also adversely affect our brand and reputation.

Our operations expose us to the risk of material environmental liabilities, litigation and violations.
We are subject to various federal, state, local and foreign environmental protection and health and safety laws governing, among other things:
 	 	
•	the generation, storage, use and transportation of hazardous materials;	
 	 	
•	emissions or discharges of substances into the environment;	
 	 	
•	the cleanup of contaminated sites;	
 	 	
•	substances that may be subject to regulation in the manufacture, distribution, use or disposal of our products; and	
 	 	
•	the health and safety of our employees.	
Environmental laws are complex, change frequently and have tended to become more stringent over time. If we are found to have violated these laws, we could be fined, criminally charged or otherwise sanctioned by regulators. In addition, private parties could bring personal injury or other claims due to the presence of, or exposure to, hazardous substances. Certain environmental laws can assess liability on contaminated sites retroactively, on a joint and several basis, and without any finding of noncompliance or fault. From time to time, we may be involved in litigation over these issues. The amount and timing of costs under environmental laws are difficult to predict and there can be no assurance that these costs will not materially adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

We may not realize the anticipated benefits from our planned implementation of a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system.
We will begin implementing a new ERP system in 2014. The implementation will occur in stages and is expected to provide operating cost savings through the elimination of redundant systems and strategic efficiencies through the use of a standardized, integrated system. We will make a significant investment and incur incremental expenses over the course of the implementation of this ERP system. If the implementation of the system is not successful, the operating cost savings and strategic efficiencies may not be obtained or sustainable.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
None.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
We own or lease numerous facilities worldwide, which house general offices, sales offices, service locations, data centers and call centers. We conduct research and development, manufacturing and assembly, product management, IT and many other activities at our Global Technology Center located in Danbury, Connecticut. We also have research and development facilities located in Noida, India and Pune, India.
Our corporate headquarters is located in a building that we own in Stamford, Connecticut. In the third quarter of 2013, we entered into an agreement to sell this building. We will lease a smaller corporate headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut and relocate many of our employees to other facilities located in the Connecticut area by mid-2014.
Management believes that our facilities are well maintained, are in good operating condition and are suitable and adequate for our current business needs.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the ordinary course of business, we are routinely defendants in, or party to, a number of pending and threatened legal actions. These may involve litigation by or against us relating to, among other things, contractual rights under vendor, insurance or other contracts; intellectual property or patent rights; equipment, service, payment or other disputes with clients; or disputes with employees. Some of these actions may be brought as a purported class action on behalf of a purported class of employees, clients or others.

In December 2013, we received a Civil Investigative Demand (CID) from the Department of Justice (DOJ) pursuant to the False Claims Act requesting documents and information relating to compliance with certain postal regulatory requirements in our Presort Services business. We had previously provided information to the DOJ in response to letter requests and continue to provide information in response to the CID and other requests from the DOJ. Given the current stage of this inquiry, we cannot provide an estimate of any possible losses or range of loss and we cannot yet predict the ultimate outcome of this matter or its impact, if any, on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES
Not applicable.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements contained in this report. All table amounts are presented in millions of dollars, unless otherwise stated.
Overview
During the year, we sold our global Management Services business (PBMS), Nordic furniture business and International Mail Services business (IMS). Further, we made certain organizational changes and realigned our business units and segment reporting to reflect the clients we serve, the solutions we offer, and how we manage, review, analyze and measure our operations. Our historical results have been recast to present the operating results of divested businesses as discontinued operations and our segment results have been recast to conform to our new segment reporting.

Revenue for 2013 decreased 1% to $3,869 million compared to $3,915 million in 2012 as growth in equipment sales, supplies sales and business services were offset by declines in rentals and financing revenue, software licensing revenue and support services. Rentals and financing revenue decreased 5% and 7%, respectively, due to a decline in the number of installed meters worldwide and lower equipment sales in prior periods. Support services revenue decreased 4% due to fewer mailing machines in service and software revenue declined 3% due to constrained public sector spending and lower North America licensing revenue. Equipment sales grew 2% driven by higher sales of production printers globally and sorting equipment in North America. Supplies sales increased 2% primarily due to the growing base of production print equipment installations and stabilization of supplies sales for our postage meter business. Business services revenue increased 6% primarily from increased demand and volumes from our e-commerce cross-border parcel management solutions.

15

Net income from continuing operations and earnings per diluted share for 2013 were $302 million and $1.49, respectively, compared to $396 million and $1.96, respectively, in 2012. The decrease in 2013 was primarily due to higher restructuring charges and losses related to the early redemption of debt, as well declines in some of our high margin recurring revenue streams.

For the year, we generated cash flow from operations of $625 million, received $390 million from the sale of businesses and issued $412 million of long-term debt. We used these proceeds to redeem long-term debt of $1,079 million, pay dividends of $207 million and fund capital investments of $138 million. At December 31, 2013, cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were $939 million.

Outlook
We continue to focus on three critical areas: stabilizing the mailing business, achieving operational excellence and driving growth in our Digital Commerce Solutions segment.
Within the Small & Medium Business Solutions group, we expect revenue and profitability growth to continue to be challenged by the decline in physical mail volumes. However, we anticipate revenue and profitability trends will show continued improvement in 2014, due in part to the implementation of a new "go-to-market" strategy in North America that provides our clients broader access to products and services through online and direct sales channels, broader solutions to serve the rapid growth in parcel shipments and a more agile workforce. In addition, postal agencies in North America recently announced discounts for postage meter users, which are anticipated to enhance the value proposition of meter usage in North America and further stabilize recurring stream revenues. Within our international mailing markets, we are continuing to expand sales of our Connect+ TM  mailing systems. In addition, the stabilization in the international meter population which began in 2013 is expected to continue in 2014, resulting in the continued improvement in recurring stream revenue trends.
Within the Enterprise Business Solutions group, we expect demand for our production mail inserter and sortation equipment and high-speed production print equipment to continue; however, we do not anticipate similar growth rates in 2014 due to significant sales of production printers during 2013. Within our Presort Services segment, we expect increasing revenue due to workshare improvements and new sales opportunities.
In our Digital Commerce Solutions segment, we anticipate growth to be driven by continued demand for our location intelligence, customer data and engagement solutions and increasing volumes associated with our e-commerce cross-border parcel management solutions.
We will begin work on the initial phases of a new global ERP system in 2014. The implementation of the ERP system will occur in stages and is anticipated to be a multi-year process. We will make a significant investment and incur incremental expenses over the course of the implementation of this system. In 2014, we anticipate these expenses could approximate $0.10 per diluted share. The ERP system is expected to provide operating cost savings through the elimination of redundant systems and strategic efficiencies through the use of a standardized, integrated system.

Our growth initiatives continue to focus on leveraging our expertise in physical communications with our expanding capabilities in digital and hybrid communications and developing products, software, services and solutions that help our clients grow their businesses by more effectively communicating with their customers.

Equipment sales
Equipment sales revenue increased 2% to $889 million in 2013 compared to 2012. Higher sales of production printers globally and sorting equipment in North America drove a 4% increase in equipment sales; however, lower mailing equipment sales in North America accounted for a 2% decrease in equipment sales. Cost of equipment sales as a percentage of revenue increased to 49.4% compared to 46.2% in the prior year primarily due to a higher mix of production printers, which have a lower margin relative to other products.

Equipment sales revenue decreased 7% to $871 million in 2012 compared to 2011 as worldwide economic conditions continued to impact customer purchasing behavior. Foreign currency translation had an unfavorable impact on revenue of 1%. Cost of equipment sales as a percentage of revenue increased to 46.2% compared with 44.2% in the prior year primarily due to a higher mix of lower margin product sales, pricing pressure on competitive placements and a decline in the number of lease extensions relative to the prior year.

Supplies
Supplies revenue increased 2% to $290 million in 2013 compared to 2012, primarily due to supply sales related to the growing base of production print equipment installations. Supplies sales for our postage meter business were down less than 1% due to higher ink sales in the U.K. and a slowing decline in worldwide meter population trends. Cost of supplies as a percentage of revenue increased to 31.5% compared to 30.9% in the prior year primarily due to lower relative margins on supplies for production print equipment.
Supplies revenue decreased 8% to $283 million in 2012 compared to 2011 primarily due to reduced mail volumes, fewer installed meters worldwide and lower ink and toner sales. Foreign currency translation had a 2% unfavorable impact on revenue. Cost of supplies as a percentage of revenue was 30.9% compared with 31.6% in the prior year primarily due to a favorable mix of higher margin core supplies sales.

17

Software
Software revenue decreased 3% to $398 million in 2013 compared to 2012, primarily due to constrained public sector spending, especially in our international markets, and lower licensing revenue in North America. This decrease was partially offset by licensing revenue from our digital mail delivery service offering. Cost of software as a percentage of revenue improved slightly to 27.8% compared to 28.0% in the prior year.
Software revenue decreased 3% to $413 million in 2012 compared to 2011 primarily due to weak economic conditions and constrained public sector spending in Europe and lower sales in Asia Pacific. Cost of software as a percentage of revenue was relatively unchanged at 28.0% compared with 27.8% in the prior year.

Rentals
Rentals revenue decreased 5% to $522 million in 2013 compared to 2012, primarily due to a decline in our installed meter base in North America and a customer-driven change in mix from rental to equipment sales in France. Cost of rentals as a percentage of revenue improved to 20.2% compared with 20.9% in the prior year mainly due to lower depreciation expense.
Rentals revenue decreased 8% to $552 million in 2012 compared to 2011 primarily due to declines in North America from fewer meters in service and lower rentals in France due to a customer-driven change in mix from rental to equipment sales. Foreign currency translation had an unfavorable impact on revenue of 1%. Cost of rentals as a percentage of revenue improved to 20.9% compared with 23.0% in the prior year primarily due to lower depreciation expense.

Financing
Financing revenue decreased 7% in 2013 compared to 2012, and 10% in 2012 compared to 2011, primarily due to declining equipment sales in prior periods. Financing interest expense as a percentage of revenue was 17.6%, 16.4% and 16.0% in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The year-over-year increases were due to higher effective interest rates. Financing interest expense represents our cost of borrowing associated with the generation of financing revenue. In computing financing interest expense, we assume a 10:1 leverage ratio of debt to equity and apply our overall effective interest rate to the average outstanding finance receivables.

Support Services
Support services revenue decreased 4% to $678 million in 2013 compared to 2012, primarily due to a decline in equipment maintenance revenue resulting from fewer mailing and production machines in service. Cost of support services as a percentage of revenue improved slightly to 61.9% in 2013 compared with 62.2% in 2012.
Support services revenue decreased 2% to $708 million in 2012 compared to 2011, driven primarily by the impact of foreign currency translation. Cost of support services as a percentage of revenue improved slightly to 62.2% in 2012 compared with 62.5% in 2011.

Business Services
Business services revenue increased 6% to $631 million in 2013 compared to 2012. Revenue from our cross-border parcel management solutions increased revenue by 10%, but lower marketing services fees resulting from certain contract renewals decreased revenue by 4%. Cost of business services as a percentage of revenue increased to 71.3% in 2013 compared to 66.7% in 2012 primarily due to continuing investment in our cross-border parcel management solutions and lower marketing services fees.
Business services revenue increased 2% to $594 million in 2012 compared to 2011. Revenue in our Presort Services operation increased 8%; however, a fire in 2011 adversely impacted 2011 revenue by $20 million. Excluding this impact, revenue in 2012 increased 2% primarily due to higher standard mail volumes. Cost of business services as a percentage of revenue improved to 66.7% in 2012 compared to 68.9% in 2011 primarily due to the impact of the fire in 2011.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A)
SG&A expense decreased 5% in 2013 to $1,432 million compared to 2012 primarily driven by lower employee-related costs resulting from ongoing restructuring actions and productivity initiatives.
SG&A expense decreased 5% in 2012 to $1,503 million compared to 2011 primarily driven by lower employee-related costs resulting from ongoing restructuring actions and productivity initiatives, and to a lesser extent, lower intangible asset amortization expense and credit loss and bad debt provisions.

Restructuring charges and asset impairments
In 2013, we initiated actions designed to enhance our responsiveness to changing market conditions, further streamline our business operations, reduce our cost structure and create long-term flexibility to invest in growth. We anticipate that these primarily cash related actions will result in restructuring charges in the range of $75 to $125 million, which will be recognized as specific initiatives are approved and implemented. We anticipate annualized pre-tax benefits of $100 to $125 million, net of investments, from these actions, and expect to reach this benefit run rate by 2015. These actions resulted in net restructuring charges of $60 million (including $2 million related to discontinued operations). Also during 2013, we entered into an agreement to sell our corporate headquarters building and recorded a non-cash asset impairment charge of $26 million. We expect to close on this sale by mid-year 2014.
In 2012, we implemented actions to streamline our business operations and reduce our cost structure that resulted in net restructuring charges of $23 million (including $6 million related to discontinued operations). 
In 2011, restructuring charges represent charges taken in connection with a series of strategic transformation initiatives announced in 2009. These initiatives were designed to transform and enhance the way we operated as a global company, enhance our responsiveness to changing market conditions and create improved processes and systems and were implemented over a three year period through 2011. Net restructuring charges were $135 million, including charges related to discontinued operations.
 
Other expense (income), net
Other expense, net for 2013 of $33 million consists of the costs associated with the early redemption of debt during the year. See Liquidity and Capital Resources - Financings and Capitalization for a detailed discussion.  
Other expense, net in 2012 includes losses of $6 million on a forward rate swap agreement, $2 million on the early redemption of debt and $4 million on the sale of leveraged lease assets offset by income of $11 million from insurance proceeds received in connection with the 2011 presort facility fire. 
Other income, net in 2011 includes income of $27 million from insurance proceeds received in connection with the presort facility fire offset by a loss of $7 million on the sale of leveraged lease assets.

Income taxes
See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Discontinued operations
Discontinued operations include goodwill impairment charges of $101 million, $18 million and $130 million and asset impairment charges of $15 million, $17 million and $17 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Also included in discontinued operations are asset impairment charges of $15 million, $17 million and $17 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. See Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

Business Segments
During 2013, we changed our reporting segments in response to organizational changes made that realigned our business units to reflect the clients served and solutions offered and how we manage, review, analyze and measure our operations. Historical segment results have been recast to conform to our current presentation and to exclude discontinued operations. The principal products and services of each of our reporting segments are as follows:
Small & Medium Business Solutions:
North America Mailing: Includes the revenue and related expenses from the sale, rental and financing of mailing equipment and supplies for small and medium size businesses to efficiently create mail and evidence postage in the U.S. and Canada.
International Mailing: Includes the revenue and related expenses from the sale, rental and financing of mailing equipment and supplies for small and medium size businesses to efficiently create mail and evidence postage in areas outside North America.

Enterprise Business Solutions:
Production Mail:  Includes the worldwide revenue and related expenses from the sale, support and other professional services of our high-speed, high-volume inserting and sortation equipment and production printer systems to large enterprise clients to process inbound and outbound mail.
Presort Services: Includes revenue and related expenses from presort mail services for our large enterprise clients to qualify large mail volumes for postal worksharing discounts.

Digital Commerce Solutions:
Digital Commerce Solutions: Includes the worldwide revenue and related expenses from (i) the sale and support services of non-equipment-based mailing, customer engagement, geocoding and location intelligence software; (ii) our cross-border e-commerce solutions; (iii) direct marketing services for targeted clients; and (iv) our digital mail delivery service offering.
Segment earnings before interest and taxes (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, restructuring charges and impairment charges, which are not allocated to a particular business segment. Management uses segment EBIT to measure profitability and performance at the segment level. Management believes segment EBIT provides investors with an analysis of the company's operating performance and underlying trends of the businesses. Segment EBIT may not be indicative of our overall consolidated performance and therefore, should be read in conjunction with our consolidated results of operations. Refer to Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a reconciliation of segment EBIT to income from continuing operations before income taxes.
Revenue and EBIT by business segment are presented in the tables below.

Small & Medium Business Solutions
Small & Medium Business Solutions revenue for 2013 was $2,331 million, a decrease of 4% compared to 2012 and EBIT was $747 million, a decrease of 2% compared to 2012. Small and Medium Business Solutions revenue in 2012 was $2,427 million, a decrease of 7% compared to 2011 and EBIT was $765 million, a decrease of 7% compared 2011. Within the Small & Medium Business Solutions group:
North America Mailing
North America Mailing revenue decreased 5% to $1,723 million in 2013 compared to 2012. Recurring stream revenues, comprised of supplies, rentals and financing revenue, declined 6% compared to last year and contributed to a 3% decline in North America Mailing revenue primarily due to fewer meters in service and lower equipment sales in prior periods. Equipment sales and support services revenue each declined 5% compared to last year and contributed to a 2% decline in North America Mailing revenue. EBIT decreased 2% to $675 million in 2013 compared to 2012 due to the decline in revenue, partially offset by various productivity initiatives. EBIT also benefited from the progress made in implementing our new "go-to-market" strategy designed to improve the sales process and reduce costs by providing our clients broader access to products and services through online and direct sales channels.
North America Mailing revenue decreased 7% to $1,819 million in 2012 compared to 2011. The decline was due to a 9% decrease in recurring stream revenues due to fewer meters in service and lower equipment sales in prior periods and a 6% decline in equipment sales primarily due to uncertain economic conditions. EBIT decreased 5% to $689 million in 2012 compared to 2011 primarily due to lower revenues; however, EBIT margin improved as a result of continued productivity improvements and lower credit losses.

International Mailing
International Mailing revenue of $608 million in 2013 was flat compared to 2012 as higher equipment sales, supplies sales and financing revenue were offset by lower rental revenue. Equipment sales increased 1% compared to last year primarily due to higher sales in France and Germany, partially offset by lower sales in the U.K. Supplies revenue increased 3% due to a stabilization in our international meter population, favorable pricing in the U.K. and higher sales in Asia-Pacific. Rentals revenue declined 8% primarily due to a change in mix from rental to equipment sales in France. EBIT decreased 6% to $72 million in 2013 compared to 2012 primarily due to higher equipment costs.
International Mailing revenue decreased 8% in 2012 to $608 million compared to 2011, but included an unfavorable impact of 5% from foreign currency translation. Excluding the effects of foreign currency, equipment sales decreased 5% primarily due to increased concerns about economic conditions throughout Europe and the Asia Pacific region, and rentals revenue decreased 10% compared to the prior year primarily due to the change in mix from rentals to equipment sales in France and lower rentals in the U.K. EBIT decreased 18% to $76 million in 2012 compared to 2011 primarily due to an increase in the mix of lower margin product sales. Foreign currency translation unfavorably impacted EBIT by 5%.

21

Enterprise Business Solutions
Enterprise Business Solutions revenue for 2013 was $942 million, an increase of 3% compared to 2012 and EBIT was $138 million, a decrease of 11% compared to 2012. Enterprise Business Solutions revenue for 2012 of $910 million was flat compared to 2011, and EBIT of $155 million was up 1% compared to 2011. Within the Enterprise Business Solutions group:

Production Mail
Production Mail revenue increased 6% in 2013 to $512 million compared to 2012. Higher sales and installations of large production printers globally and sorters in North America resulted in an 8% increase in Production Mail revenue, while higher supplies sales due to the growing base of production printers contributed to a 2% increase in Production Mail revenue. Lower support services revenue primarily due to fewer maintenance contracts on new equipment installations resulted in a 3% decline in Production Mail revenue. EBIT increased 12% to $55 million in 2013 compared to 2012 primarily due to the increase in revenue and productivity improvement initiatives.

Production Mail revenue decreased 6% in 2012 to $480 million compared to 2011 primarily due to global economic uncertainty that existed throughout the year. Foreign currency translation had an unfavorable impact of 2% on revenue. EBIT decreased 7% to $49 million compared to 2011 primarily due to the decline in revenue and higher mix of lower margin sales.

Presort Services
Presort Services revenue of $430 million in 2013 was flat compared to 2012 as reduced discounts in certain presort categories offset the impact of a 2% increase in presort mail volumes. EBIT decreased 22% to $83 million in 2013 compared to 2012 primarily due to a benefit in 2012 of $11 million from insurance recoveries, as well as margin compression in 2013.

Presort Services revenue increased 8% to $430 million in 2012 compared to 2011. A fire at one of our presort facilities adversely impacted 2011 revenue by $20 million. Excluding this impact, revenue in 2012 increased 2% primarily due to higher standard mail volumes. EBIT increased 5% to $106 million compared to 2011; however, taking into account the impact of the 2011 fire, EBIT increased 1% primarily due to the increase in revenue.

Digital Commerce Solutions
Digital Commerce Solutions (DCS) revenue increased 3% to $596 million in 2013 compared to 2012. Revenue from our e-commerce cross-border parcel management solution and our digital mail delivery service drove a 12% increase in DCS revenue. However, this revenue growth was partially offset by a decline in worldwide software revenue, which resulted in a 5% decline in DCS revenue, and lower marketing services fees, which resulted in a 4% decline in DCS revenue. EBIT increased 14% in 2013 to $43 million compared to 2012 as higher volumes in cross-border parcels helped partially offset the high level of fixed costs and our continuing investment in this business.

DCS revenue in 2012 decreased 3% to $578 million compared to 2011 primarily due to a decline in worldwide software revenue attributable to weak economic conditions and constrained public sector spending in Europe. EBIT decreased 19% to $37 million compared to 2011 primarily related to costs to build up the infrastructure for our cross-border parcel management solution offering.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We believe that existing cash and investments, cash generated from operations and borrowing capacity under our commercial paper program are currently sufficient to support our cash needs, including discretionary uses such as capital investments, dividends and share repurchases. Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were $939 million at December 31, 2013 and $950 million at December 31, 2012. We continuously review our credit profile through published credit ratings and the credit default swap market. We also monitor the creditworthiness of those banks acting as derivative counterparties, depository banks or credit providers.

Cash Flow Summary
The change in cash and cash equivalents is as follows:

 	Year Ended December 31,	 	Change	
 	2013	 	2012	 	2011	 	2013	 	2012	
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	625

 	 	$	(62	)	 	$	(315	)	
Net cash provided by operating activities was $625 million in 2013 compared to $660 million in 2012. The decrease in cash flow from operations was due to lower income and cash payments related to debt extinguishments. These decreases were partially offset by lower pension contributions, restructuring payments and increased cash from working capital management.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $660 million in 2012 compared to $949 million in 2011. The decrease in cash provided by operations was primarily due to higher tax payments in 2012 resulting from the sale of leveraged lease assets, the loss of bonus depreciation and higher income tax refunds received in 2011. The cash impact of finance and accounts receivables was also $105 million lower in 2012 compared to 2011.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $251 million in 2013 compared to net cash used of $87 million in 2012. The improvement was mainly due to net proceeds of $390 million from the sale of businesses during 2013 and lower capital expenditures, partially offset by lower deposits at the Bank. Cash flow in 2012 included proceeds of $106 million from the sale of leveraged lease assets.
     
Net cash used in investing activities was $87 million in 2012 compared to $117 million in 2011. The decrease in cash used in 2012 was due to lower net purchases of investment securities partially offset by higher capital expenditures and lower growth in customer deposits.

Net cash used in financing activities was $868 million in 2013 compared to $519 million in 2012. The increase in cash used was due to higher net repayments of debt partially offset by lower dividend payments. During the year, we paid $1,079 million to redeem long-term debt and received $412 million from the issuance of new debt. In 2012, we paid $550 million to redeem long-term debt and received $340 million from the issuance of new debt. Dividend payments were $112 million lower in 2013 compared to 2012. See Dividends below.

Net cash used in financing activities was $519 million in 2012 compared to $455 million in 2011. The increase in cash used was due to higher net repayments of debt partially offset by lower share repurchases.
    
Dividends
We paid dividends to our common stockholders of $189 million ($0.94 per share), $301 million ($1.50 per share) and $300 million ($1.48 per share) in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Each quarter, our Board of Directors will continue to consider our recent and projected earnings and other capital needs and priorities in deciding whether to approve the payment, as well as the amount of a dividend. There are no material restrictions on our ability to declare dividends.

Financings and Capitalization
We are a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer with the SEC, which allows us to issue debt securities, preferred stock, preference stock, common stock, purchase contracts, depositary shares, warrants and units in an expedited fashion. We have a commercial paper program that is an important source of liquidity for us and a committed credit facility of $1.0 billion to support our commercial paper issuances. The credit facility expires in April 2016. We have not drawn upon the credit facility.

At December 31, 2013, there were no outstanding commercial paper borrowings. During the year, commercial paper borrowings averaged $52 million at a weighted-average interest rate of 0.41% and the maximum amount outstanding at any time was $300 million. In 2012, commercial paper borrowings averaged $221 million at a weighted-average interest rate of 0.39% and the maximum amount of commercial paper outstanding at any point in time was $709 million.

In March 2013, we issued $425 million of 6.7% fixed-rate 30-year notes (net proceeds received after fees and discount were $412 million). Interest is payable quarterly. The notes mature in 2043, but may be redeemed, at our option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after March 7, 2018 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The net proceeds were used to fund the Tender Offer (see below).

In March 2013, we completed a cash tender offer (the Tender Offer) for a portion of the 4.875% Notes due 2014, the 5.0% Notes due 2015, and the 4.75% Notes due 2016 (the Subject Notes). Holders who validly tendered their notes received the principal amount of the notes tendered, all accrued and unpaid interest and a premium payment. An aggregate $405 million of the Subject Notes were tendered. In connection with this Tender Offer, we received $5 million from the unwind of certain interest rate swap agreements and recognized a net loss of $25 million, consisting primarily of the premium payment .

In June 2013, the $375 million 3.875% notes matured and were redeemed with cash.

In November 2013, we redeemed the remaining $300 million of 4.875% outstanding notes that were scheduled to mature August 2014. In connection with this redemption, we received $3 million from the unwind of an interest rate swap and recognized a loss of $8 million, consisting primarily of a premium payment .

During 2012, we borrowed $230 million under term loan agreements. The term loans bear interest at the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 2.25% or Prime Rate plus 1.25%, at our option. Interest is paid quarterly and the loans mature in 2015 and 2016. We also issued $110 million of 10-year notes with a coupon rate of 5.25%. Interest is paid quarterly and the notes mature in November 2022. However, we may redeem some or all of the notes at any time on or after November 2015 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The proceeds from these issuances were for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of 2013 debt maturities.

We have almost $2 billion of debt maturing in the next two to five years. While we fully expect to be able to fund these maturities through cash redemptions or refinancing these maturities through the U.S. capital markets, these obligations could increase our vulnerability to adverse market conditions, and impact our ability to refinance existing maturities.

Cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries were $392 million at December 31, 2013 and $219 million at December 31, 2012. Cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries are generally used to support the liquidity needs of these subsidiaries. Most of these amounts could be repatriated to the U.S. but would be subject to additional taxes. Repatriation of some foreign balances is restricted by local laws.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The following summarizes our known contractual obligations and off-balance sheet arrangements at December 31, 2013 and the effect that such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flow in future periods:

 	Payments due by period

The amount and period of future payments related to our income tax uncertainties cannot be reliably estimated and are not included in the above table. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

24

 	 	
(1)	Interest payments on debt assume all debt is held to maturity. Certain notes permit us to redeem, or the bondholders to require us to redeem, some or all of the applicable outstanding notes at par plus accrued interest before the scheduled maturity date.	
 	 	
(2)	Purchase obligations include unrecorded agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding upon us and that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. Purchase obligations exclude agreements that are cancelable without penalty.	
 	 	
(3)	Represents the amount of contributions we anticipate making to our pension plans during 2014; however, we will assess our funding alternatives as the year progresses.	
 	 	
(4)	Our retiree health benefit plans are non-funded plans and cash contributions are made each year to cover medical claims costs incurred. The amounts reported in the above table represent our estimate of future benefits payments.	

Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about certain items that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and accompanying disclosures, including the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The accounting policies below have been identified by management as those accounting policies that are most critical to our financial statements due to the estimates and assumptions required. Management believes that the estimates and assumptions used are reasonable and appropriate based on the information available at the time the financial statements were prepared; however, actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary of our accounting policies.

Revenue recognition - Multiple element arrangements
We derive revenue from multiple sources including sales, rentals, financing and services. Certain transactions are consummated at the same time and can therefore generate revenue from multiple sources. The most common form of these transactions involves a sale or non-cancelable lease of equipment, a meter rental and an equipment maintenance agreement. As a result, we are required to determine whether the deliverables in a multiple element arrangement should be treated as separate units of accounting for revenue recognition purposes, and if so, how the price should be allocated among the delivered elements and when to recognize revenue for each element. We recognize revenue for delivered elements only when the fair values of undelivered elements are known, customer acceptance has occurred and payment is probable.

In these multiple element arrangements, revenue is allocated to each of the elements based on relative “selling prices” and the selling price for each of the elements is determined based on vendor specific objective evidence. We establish vendor specific objective evidence of selling prices for our products and services based on the prices charged for each element when sold separately in standalone transactions. The allocation of relative selling price to the various elements impacts the timing of revenue recognition, but does not change the total revenue recognized. Revenue is allocated to the meter rental and equipment maintenance agreement elements using their respective selling prices charged in standalone and renewal transactions. For a sale transaction, revenue is allocated to the equipment based on a range of selling prices in standalone transactions. For a lease transaction, revenue is allocated to the equipment based on the present value of the remaining minimum lease payments. The amount allocated to equipment is compared to the range of selling prices in standalone transactions during the period to ensure the allocated equipment amount approximates average selling prices.

Pension benefits
The valuation of our pension assets and obligations and the calculation of net periodic pension expense are dependent on assumptions and estimates relating to, among other things, the interest rate used to discount the future estimated liability (discount rate) and the expected rate of return on plan assets. These assumptions are evaluated and updated annually and are described in further detail in Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The discount rate for our largest plan, the U.S. Qualified Pension Plan (the U.S. Plan) is determined by matching the expected cash flows associated with our benefit obligations to a yield curve based on long-term, high quality fixed income debt instruments available as of the measurement date. The discount rate for our largest foreign plan, the U.K. Qualified Pension Plan (the U.K. Plan), is determined by using a model that discounts each year's estimated benefit payments by an applicable spot rate derived from a yield curve created from a large number of high quality corporate bonds. The discount rate used in the determination of net periodic pension expense for 2013 was 4.05% for the U.S. Plan and 4.55% for the U.K. Plan. For 2014, the discount rate used in the determination of net periodic pension expense for the U.S. Plan and the U.K. Plan will be 4.95% and 4.45%, respectively. A 0.25% increase in the discount rate would decrease

25

annual pension expense by less than $1 million for both the U.S. Plan and the U.K. Plan, and lower the projected benefit obligation of the U.S. Plan and U.K. Plan by $45 million and $21 million, respectively.

Pension assets are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit risks. We invest our pension plan assets in a variety of investment securities in accordance with our strategic asset allocation policy. The expected return on plan assets is based on historical and expected future returns for current and targeted asset allocations for each asset class in the investment portfolio, adjusted for historical and expected experience of active portfolio management results, as compared to the benchmark returns. When assessing the expected future returns for the portfolio, management places more emphasis on the expected future returns than historical returns. The expected rate of return used in the determination of net periodic pension expense for 2013 was 7.25% for the U.S. Plan and 7.38% for the U.K. Plan. For 2014, the expected rate of return used in the determination of net periodic pension expense for the U.S. Plan and the U.K. Plan will be 7.0% and 7.5%, respectively. A 0.25% increase in the expected rate of return on plan return on assets would decrease annual pension expense for the U.S. Plan by $4 million and the U.K. Plan by $1 million. See Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for asset allocations at December 31, 2013 and 2012 and target allocations for 2014.

Actual pension plan results that differ from our assumptions and estimates are accumulated and amortized over the life expectancy of inactive plan participants and affect future pension expense. Net pension expense is also based on a market-related valuation of plan assets where differences between the actual and expected return on plan assets are amortized to pension expense over a five-year period. Effective December 31, 2014, benefit accruals for participants in a majority of our U.S. and foreign pension plans will be frozen.

Residual value of leased assets
We provide lease financing for our products primarily through sales-type leases. Equipment residual values are determined at inception of the lease using estimates of equipment fair value at the end of the lease term. Residual value estimates impact the determination of whether a lease is classified as an operating lease or sales-type lease. Estimates of future equipment fair value are based primarily on our historical experience. We also consider forecasted supply and demand for our various products, product retirement and future product launch plans, end of lease customer behavior, regulatory changes, remanufacturing strategies, used equipment markets, if any, competition and technological changes.

We evaluate residual values on an annual basis or as changes to the above considerations occur and declines in estimated residual values considered "other-than-temporary" are recognized immediately. Estimated increases in future residual values are not recognized until the equipment is remarketed. If the actual residual value of lease assets were 10% lower than management's current estimates, pre-tax income would be lower by $14 million.

Allowances for doubtful accounts and credit losses
We estimate our credit risk for accounts receivables and finance receivables and provide allowances for estimated losses. We believe that our credit risk is limited because of our large number of customers, small account balances for most of our customers and customer geographic and industry diversification. We continuously monitor collections and payments from our customers and evaluate the adequacy of the applicable allowance based on historical loss experience, past due status, adverse situations that may affect a customer's ability to pay and prevailing economic conditions. We make adjustments to the reserves as deemed necessary. This evaluation is inherently subjective and actual results may differ significantly from estimated reserves.

The allowance for doubtful accounts as a percentage of trade receivables was 2.7% at December 31, 2013 and 2012. Holding all other assumptions constant, a 0.25% increase or decrease in the allowance rate at December 31, 2013 would have changed the 2013 provision by $1 million.

Total allowance for credit losses as a percentage of finance receivables was 1.8% at December 31, 2013 and 2012. Holding all other assumptions constant, a 0.25% increase or decrease in the allowance rate at December 31, 2012 would have changed the 2013 provision by $5 million.

Accounting for income taxes
We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Our annual tax rate is based on our income, statutory tax rates, tax reserve changes and tax planning opportunities available to us in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. Significant judgment is required in determining our annual tax rate and in evaluating our tax positions.

We regularly assess the likelihood of tax adjustments in each of the tax jurisdictions in which we have operations and account for the related financial statement implications. Tax reserves have been established which we believe to be appropriate given the possibility of tax adjustments. Determining the appropriate level of tax reserves requires us to exercise judgment regarding the uncertain application

26

of tax laws. The amount of reserves is adjusted when information becomes available or when an event occurs indicating a change in the reserve is appropriate. Future changes in tax reserve requirements could have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Significant judgment is also required in determining the amount of valuation allowance to be recorded against deferred tax assets. In assessing whether a valuation allowance is necessary, and the amount of such allowance, we consider all available evidence for each jurisdiction including past operating results, estimates of future taxable income and the feasibility of ongoing tax planning strategies. As new information becomes available that would alter our determination as to the amount of deferred tax assets that will ultimately be realized, we adjust the valuation allowance with a corresponding impact to income tax expense in the period in which such determination is made.

Useful lives of long-lived assets
We depreciate property, plant and equipment and rental property and equipment principally using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of up to 50 years for buildings, three to 15 years for machinery and equipment, four to six years for rental equipment and three to five years for computer equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life or the remaining lease term. We amortize capitalized costs related to internally developed software using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life, which is principally three to 10 years. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the straight-line method or an accelerated attrition method over their estimated useful lives, which are principally three to 15 years. Our estimates of useful lives could be affected by changes in regulatory provisions, technology or business plans and changes to the assets' estimated useful lives could have a material impact on our results of operations.

Impairment review
Long-lived and intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable. The related estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset is compared to the asset's carrying amount. We derive the cash flow estimates from our future long-term business plans and historical experience. If the sum of the expected cash flows is less than the carrying amount, an impairment charge is recorded for an amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. The fair value of the asset is determined using probability weighted expected discounted cash flow estimates, quoted market prices when available and appraisals, as appropriate. Changes in the estimates and assumptions incorporated in our impairment assessment could materially affect the determination of fair value and the associated impairment charge.

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment, during the fourth quarter, or sooner when circumstances indicate an impairment may exist at the reporting unit level. The impairment test for goodwill is a two-step approach. In the first step, the fair value of each reporting unit is compared to the reporting unit's carrying value, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. In the second step, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit as if it had been acquired in a business combination and the purchase price was equivalent to the fair value of the reporting unit. The excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities is referred to as the implied fair value of goodwill. The implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill is then compared to the actual carrying value of goodwill. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying value of goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference.

Significant estimates and assumptions are used in our goodwill impairment review and include the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units and determining the fair value of each reporting unit. The fair value of each reporting unit is determined based on a combination of techniques, including the present value of future cash flows, applicable multiples of competitors and multiples from sales of like businesses. The assumptions used to estimate fair value are based on projections incorporated in our current operating plans as well as other available information. Our operating plans include significant assumptions and estimates associated with sales growth, profitability and related cash flows, along with cash flows associated with taxes and capital spending. The determination of fair value also incorporates a risk-adjusted discount rate based on current interest rates and the economic conditions of the reporting unit. We consider other assumptions that market participants may use. Changes in any of these estimates or assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and the associated goodwill impairment charge for each reporting unit. Potential events and circumstances, such as the inability to acquire new clients, downward pressures on pricing and rising interest rates could have an adverse impact on our assumptions and result in non-cash impairment charges in future periods.

Based on the results of the annual impairment test performed during the fourth quarter of 2013, we determined that the estimated fair value of each of the reporting units exceeded their carrying value by 20% or more, except for the software and direct marketing operations of our DCS segment. The estimated fair value of the software reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by 12% and the estimated fair

27

value of the direct marketing reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by 4%. The goodwill balances related to the software and direct marketing operations are $684 million and $194 million, respectively. The assumptions used to estimate fair value were based on projections incorporated in our current operating plans as well as other available information. The inputs used to determine the fair value of the software and direct marketing operations were classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. By their nature, projections are uncertain. Potential events and circumstances, such as declining volumes, loss of client contracts and inability to acquire new clients could have an adverse effect on our assumptions. We will continue to monitor and evaluate the carrying values of goodwill and intangible assets of these units, and should actual results differ significantly from our estimates and assumptions, additional non-cash impairment charges for goodwill could be recorded in 2014.

Stock-based compensation expense
We recognize compensation cost for stock-based awards based on the estimated fair value of the award, net of estimated forfeitures. Compensation costs for those shares expected to vest are recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

The fair value of stock awards is estimated using a Black-Scholes valuation model or Monte Carlo simulation model. These models require assumptions be made regarding the expected stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected life of the award and dividend yield. The estimate of stock price volatility is based on historical price changes of our stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. treasuries with a term equal to the expected life of the stock award. The expected life of the award and expected dividend yield are based on historical experience.

We believe that the valuation techniques and the approach utilized to develop the underlying assumptions are appropriate in estimating the fair value of our stock-based awards. If factors change and we use different assumptions, our stock-based compensation expense could be different in the future. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by employees who receive equity awards, and subsequent events are not indicative of the reasonableness of the original estimates of fair value. In addition, we are required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and recognize expense only for those shares expected to vest. If our actual forfeiture rate is materially different from our estimate, stock-based compensation expense could be significantly different from what we have recorded in the current period.

Restructuring
We have undertaken restructuring actions which require management to utilize certain estimates related to the amount and timing of expenses. If the actual amounts differ from our estimates, the amount of the restructuring charges could be impacted. On a quarterly basis, we update our estimates of future remaining obligations and costs associated with all restructuring actions and compare these updated estimates to our current restructuring reserves, and make adjustments if necessary.

Loss contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, we are routinely defendants in, or party to, a number of pending and threatened legal actions. On a quarterly basis, we review the status of each significant matter and assess the potential financial exposure. If the potential loss from any claim or legal action is considered probable and can be reasonably estimated, we establish a liability for the estimated loss. The assessment of the ultimate outcome of each claim or legal action and the determination of the potential financial exposure requires significant judgment. Estimates of potential liabilities for claims or legal actions are based only on information that is available at that time. As additional information becomes available, we may revise our estimates, and these revisions could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position.

Legal and Regulatory Matters
Legal
See Legal Proceedings in Item 3 for information regarding our legal proceedings.

Other regulatory matters
As is the case with other large corporations, our tax returns are examined each year by tax authorities in the U.S., other countries and local jurisdictions in which we have operations. Except for issues arising out of certain partnership investments, the IRS examinations of tax years prior to 2009 are closed to audit. Other than the pending application of legal principles to specific issues arising in earlier years, only post-2007 Canadian tax years are subject to examination. Other significant tax filings subject to examination include various post-2004 U.S. state and local, post-2007 German, and post-2011 French and U.K. tax filings. We have other less significant tax filings currently under examination or subject to examination. Tax reserves have been established which we believe to be appropriate given the possibility of tax adjustments. However, the resolution of such matters could have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

We are currently undergoing unclaimed property audits, which are being conducted by various state authorities. The property subject to review in this audit process generally includes unclaimed wages, vendor payments and customer receipts. State escheat laws generally require entities to report and remit abandoned and unclaimed property. Failure to timely report and remit the property can result in the assessments of additional escheat liability, interest and penalties. We do not expect the outcome of these audits to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

Foreign Currency Exchange

Over the last three years, approximately one-third of our consolidated revenue was derived from operations outside of the United States. The functional currency for most of our foreign operations is the local currency. Our largest foreign currency exposures are to the British pound, Euro, Japanese Yen, Canadian dollar and the Australian dollar. Changes in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the currencies of countries in which we operate impact our reported assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Exchange rate fluctuations can also impact the settlement of intercompany receivables and payables between our subsidiaries in different countries. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, currency rate movements increased/(decreased) revenue by (0.4)%, (1.1)% and 1.6%, respectively.

We use foreign exchange contracts to mitigate the risk of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. We enter into foreign exchange contracts with only those financial institutions that meet stringent credit requirements as set forth in our derivative policy to mitigate our exposure to counterparty credit risk. We regularly review our credit exposure balances as well as the creditworthiness of our counterparties. Maximum risk of loss on these contracts is limited to the amount of the difference between the spot rate at the date of the contract delivery and the contracted rate. At December 31, 2013, the fair value of our outstanding foreign exchange contracts was a liability value of $2 million.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes and foreign currency fluctuations due to our investing and funding activities and our operations denominated in different foreign currencies.

Our objective in managing our exposure to changing interest rates is to limit the volatility and impact of changing interest rates on earnings and cash flows. To achieve these objectives, we may enter into interest rate swaps that convert fixed rate interest payments to variable rates. At December 31, 2013, approximately 93% of our debt represented fixed rate obligations and we had no interest rate swaps in place. The weighted average rate of our debt at December 31, 2013 was 5.1%. A one-percentage point change in the effective interest rate of our variable rate debt would have impacted 2013 pre-tax income by $2 million.

Our objective in managing our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is to reduce the volatility in earnings and cash flows associated with the effect of foreign exchange rate changes on transactions that are denominated in foreign currencies. Accordingly, we enter into various contracts, which change in value as foreign exchange rates change, to protect the value of external and intercompany transactions. The principal currencies actively hedged are the British pound, Euro and Canadian dollar.

We employ established policies and procedures governing the use of financial instruments to manage our exposure to such risks. We do not enter into foreign currency or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes. The gains and losses on these contracts offset changes in the value of the related exposures.

29

We utilize a "Value-at-Risk" (VaR) model to determine the potential loss in fair value from changes in market conditions. The VaR model utilizes a “variance/co-variance” approach and assumes normal market conditions, a 95% confidence level and a one-day holding period. The model includes all of our debt, interest rate derivative contracts and foreign exchange derivative contracts associated with forecasted transactions. The model excludes all anticipated transactions and firm commitments and account receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies, which certain of these instruments are intended to hedge. The VaR model is a risk analysis tool and does not purport to represent actual losses in fair value that will be incurred by us, nor does it consider the potential effect of favorable changes in market factors.

During 2013 and 2012, our maximum potential one-day loss in fair value of our exposure to foreign exchange rates and interest rates, using the variance/co-variance technique described above, was not material.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), we evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) and internal control over financial reporting. Our CEO and CFO concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2013, based on the evaluation of these controls and procedures required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act. Any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions designed to obtain reasonable (and not absolute) assurance as to its effectiveness, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals. Notwithstanding this caution, the CEO and CFO have reasonable assurance that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2013.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with internal control policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in  Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992) . Based on its assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2013, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on the criteria issued by COSO in  Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992) .

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears in this Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended December 31, 2013, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, such internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Tothe Stockholders and Board of Directors of Pitney Bowes Inc.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of income, of comprehensive income, of stockholders’ equity (deficit) and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Pitney Bowes Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in  Internal Control - Integrated Framework  (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

PITNEY BOWES INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Tabular dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Pitney Bowes Inc. (we, us, our, or the company) and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

During the year, we sold our International Management Services business (PBMSi), North America Management Services business (PBMS NA), Nordic furniture business and International Mailing Services business (IMS). Further, we made certain organizational changes and realigned our business units and segment reporting to reflect the clients we serve, the solutions we offer, and how we manage, review, analyze and measure our operations. Our historical results have been recast to present the operating results of divested businesses as discontinued operations and our segment results have been recast to conform to our new segment reporting. The cash flows from discontinued operations are not separately stated or classified in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and accompanying disclosures, including the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and assumptions are based on management's best knowledge of current events, historical experience and other information available when the financial statements are prepared. These estimates include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition for multiple element arrangements, goodwill and intangible asset impairment review, allowance for doubtful accounts and credit losses, residual values of leased assets, useful lives of long-lived and intangible assets, restructuring costs, pensions and other postretirement costs, income tax reserves, deferred tax asset valuation allowance and loss contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments
Cash equivalents include short-term, liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. Short-term investments include investments with a maturity of greater than three months but less than one year from the reporting date.

Investment Securities
Investment securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and are carried at amortized cost. Investment securities not classified as held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale and recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the effective interest method over the terms of the securities. Gains and losses on the sale of available-for-sale securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method. Investment securities are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and other assets depending on the type of investment and maturity.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We estimate our accounts receivable risks and provide an allowance for doubtful accounts accordingly. We evaluate the adequacy of the allowance based on historical loss experience, aging of receivables, adverse situations that may affect a customer's ability to pay and prevailing economic conditions and make adjustments to the allowance as necessary. This evaluation is inherently subjective and actual results may differ significantly from estimated reserves. Accounts receivable are generally due within 30 days after the invoice date. Accounts deemed uncollectible are written off against the allowance after all collection efforts have been exhausted and management deems the account to be uncollectible. We believe that our accounts receivable credit risk is limited because of our large number of customers, small account balances for most of our customers and customer geographic and industry diversification.

Finance Receivables and Allowance for Credit Losses
Finance receivables are composed of sales-type lease receivables and unsecured revolving loan receivables. We estimate our finance receivable risks and provide an allowance for credit losses accordingly. We evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses based on historical loss experience, the nature and volume of our portfolios, adverse situations that may affect a customer's ability to pay, prevailing economic conditions and our ability to manage the collateral and make adjustments to the allowance as necessary. This evaluation is inherently subjective and actual results may differ significantly from estimated reserves.

We establish credit approval limits based on the credit quality of the customer and the type of equipment financed. Our policy is to discontinue revenue recognition for lease receivables that are more than 120 days past due and for unsecured loan receivables that are

43

PITNEY BOWES INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Tabular dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

more than 90 days past due. We resume revenue recognition when customer payments reduce the account balance aging to 60 days or less past due. Finance receivables deemed uncollectible are written off against the allowance after all collection efforts have been exhausted and management deems the account to be uncollectible. We believe that our finance receivable credit risk is limited because of our large number of customers, small account balances for most of our customers and customer geographic and industry diversification.

Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the last-in, first-out (LIFO) basis for most U.S. inventories and on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis for most non-U.S. inventories.

Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Property, plant and equipment and rental equipment are stated at cost and depreciated principally using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which are up to 50 years for buildings, three to 15 years for machinery and equipment, four to six years for rental equipment and three to five years for computer equipment. Major improvements which add to productive capacity or extend the life of an asset are capitalized while repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life or the remaining lease term.

Fully depreciated assets are retained in fixed assets and accumulated depreciation until they are removed from service. In the case of disposals, assets and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the net amounts, less proceeds from disposal, are included in earnings.

Software Development Costs
We capitalize certain costs of software developed for internal use. Capitalized costs include purchased materials and services, payroll and personnel-related costs and interest costs. The cost of internally developed software is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life, principally three to 10 years.

Costs incurred for the development of software to be sold, leased or otherwise marketed are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established, at which time such costs are capitalized until the product is available for general release to the public. Capitalized software development costs include purchased materials and services and payroll and personnel-related costs attributable to programmers, software engineers, quality control and field certifiers. Capitalized software development costs are amortized generally on a straight-line basis over the product's estimated useful life, principally three to five years. Software development costs capitalized were $4 million in both 2013 and 2012. Amortization of capitalized software development costs was $8 million, $10 million and $10 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, capitalized software development costs included in other assets were $5 million and $9 million, respectively.

Research and Development Costs
Research and product development costs, which primarily included personnel-related costs, are expensed as incurred.  These costs include engineering costs related to research and product development activities.
 
During 2013, we determined that certain research and development costs should have been classified as cost of software. Accordingly, the Consolidated Statements of Income for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 have been revised to reflect the correct classification, resulting in a decrease in research and development expenses and a corresponding increase in cost of software of $23 million and $20 million, respectively. This revision did not impact previously reported total costs and expenses, net income or earnings per share amounts and was not material to any of our previously issued financial statements.

Business Combinations
We account for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. The fair value of intangible assets is estimated using a cost, market or income approach. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives, principally three to 15 years, using either the straight-line method or an accelerated attrition method. Operating results of acquired companies are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

Impairment Review for Long-lived Assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable. The related estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is compared to the carrying amount. If the sum of the expected cash flows is less than the carrying amount, an impairment charge is recorded for an amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. The fair value of the impaired asset

44

PITNEY BOWES INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Tabular dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

is determined using probability weighted expected cash flow estimates, quoted market prices when available and appraisals, as appropriate. We derive cash flow estimates from our long-term business plans and historical experience.

Impairment Review for Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill is tested annually for impairment during the fourth quarter or sooner when circumstances indicate an impairment may exist, at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is the operating segment, or a business that is one level below that operating segment. Reporting units are aggregated as a single reporting unit if they have similar economic characteristics. Goodwill is tested for impairment using a two-step approach. In the first step, the fair value of each reporting unit is determined and compared to the reporting unit's carrying value, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. In the second step, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit as if it had been acquired in a business combination and the purchase price was equivalent to the fair value of the reporting unit. The excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities is referred to as the implied fair value of goodwill. The implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill is then compared to the actual carrying value of goodwill. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying value of goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference. The fair value of a reporting unit is determined based on a combination of various techniques, including the present value of future cash flows, multiples of competitors and multiples from sales of like businesses.

Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable. The related estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is compared to the carrying amount. If the sum of the expected cash flows is less than the carrying amount, an impairment charge is recorded. The impairment charge is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. The fair value of the asset is determined using probability weighted expected cash flow estimates, quoted market prices when available and appraisals, as appropriate.

Retirement Plans
Actual pension plan results that differ from our assumptions and estimates are accumulated and amortized over the life expectancy of inactive plan participants and affect future pension cost. Net periodic pension cost includes current service cost, interest cost and return on plan assets. Net pension cost is also based on a market-related valuation of plan assets where differences between the actual and expected return on plan assets are amortized to pension cost over a five-year period. We recognize the funded status of pension and other postretirement benefit plans in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Gains and losses, prior service costs and credits and any remaining transition amounts that have not yet been recognized in net periodic benefit cost are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, until they are amortized as a component of net periodic benefit cost.

Stock-based Compensation
We measure compensation expense for stock-based awards based on the estimated fair value of the awards expected to vest (net of estimated forfeitures) and recognize the expense on a straight-line basis over the employee requisite service period. We estimate the fair value of stock awards using a Black-Scholes valuation model or a Monte Carlo simulation model for those awards that contain a market condition. We believe that the valuation techniques and the approach utilized to develop the underlying assumptions are appropriate in estimating the fair value of our stock awards. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by employees and subsequent events are not indicative of the reasonableness of the original estimates of fair value.

Revenue Recognition
We derive revenue from multiple sources including sales, rentals, financing and services. Certain transactions are consummated at the same time and generate revenue from multiple sources. The most common form of these transactions involves the sale or non-cancelable lease of equipment, a meter rental and an equipment maintenance agreement. In these multiple element arrangements, revenue is allocated to each of the elements based on relative “selling prices” and the selling price for each of the elements is determined based on vendor specific objective evidence. We establish vendor specific objective evidence of selling prices for our products and services based on the prices charged for each element when sold separately in standalone transactions. The allocation of relative selling price to the various elements impacts the timing of revenue recognition, but does not change the total revenue recognized. Revenue is allocated to the meter rental and equipment maintenance agreement elements using their respective selling prices charged in standalone and renewal transactions. For a sale transaction, revenue is allocated to the equipment based on a range of selling prices in standalone transactions. For a lease transaction, revenue is allocated to the equipment based on the present value of the remaining minimum lease payments. The amount allocated to equipment is compared to the range of selling prices in standalone transactions during the period to ensure the allocated equipment amount approximates average selling prices. More specifically, revenue related to our offerings is recognized as follows:

45

PITNEY BOWES INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Tabular dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

Sales Revenue
Sales of Equipment
We sell equipment directly to our customers and to distributors (re-sellers) throughout the world. We recognize revenue from these sales when the risks and rewards of ownership transfer to the customer, which is generally upon shipment or acceptance by the customer. We recognize revenue from the sale of equipment under sales-type leases as equipment revenue at the inception of the lease. We do not typically offer any rights of return or stock balancing rights. Sales revenue from customized equipment, mail creation equipment and shipping products is generally recognized when installed.

Sales of Supplies
Revenue related to supplies is recognized at the point of title transfer, which is generally upon delivery.

Standalone Software Sales and Integration Services
We recognize revenue from standalone software licenses upon delivery of the product when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed and determinable and collectability is probable. For software licenses that are included in a lease contract, we recognize revenue upon shipment of the software unless the lease contract specifies that the license expires at the end of the lease or the price of the software is deemed not fixed or determinable based on historical evidence of similar software leases. In these instances, revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease contract. We recognize revenue from software requiring integration services at the point of customer acceptance. We recognize revenue related to off-the-shelf perpetual software licenses upon transfer of title, which is generally upon shipment.

Rentals Revenue
We rent equipment, primarily postage meters and mailing equipment, under short-term rental agreements. Rental revenue includes revenue from the subscription for digital meter services. We may invoice in advance for postage meter rentals according to the terms of the agreement. We initially defer these advanced billings and recognize rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the invoice period. Revenues generated from financing customers for the continued use of equipment subsequent to the expiration of the original lease term are classified within rentals revenue. 

We defer certain initial direct costs incurred in consummating a transaction and recognize these costs over the expected term of the agreement. Initial direct costs amortized in 2013, 2012 and 2011 were $11 million, $13 million and $19 million, respectively. Initial direct costs deferred at December 31, 2013 and 2012 were $26 million. These costs are included in rental property and equipment, net on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the year, we determined that certain revenue previously reported as rentals revenue included a service component and should have been classified as support services revenue. Accordingly, the Consolidated Statements of Income for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 have been revised to reflect the correct classification, resulting in a decrease in rentals revenue and corresponding increase in support services revenue of $19 million and $21 million, respectively. This revision did not impact previously reported revenue, net income or earnings per share amounts and was not material to any of our previously issued financial statements.

Financing Revenue
We provide lease financing for our products primarily through sales-type leases. We also provide revolving lines of credit to our customers for the purchase of postage and related supplies. We believe that our sales-type lease portfolio contains only normal collection risk. Accordingly, we record the fair value of equipment as sales revenue, the cost of equipment as cost of sales and the minimum lease payments plus the estimated residual value as finance receivables. The difference between the finance receivable and the equipment fair value is recorded as unearned income and is amortized as income over the lease term using the interest method.

Equipment residual values are determined at inception of the lease using estimates of equipment fair value at the end of the lease term. Estimates of future equipment fair value are based primarily on our historical experience. We also consider forecasted supply and demand for our various products, product retirement and future product launch plans, end of lease customer behavior, regulatory changes, remanufacturing strategies, used equipment markets, if any, competition and technological changes. We evaluate residual values on an annual basis or as changes to the above considerations occur.

Support Services Revenue
We provide support services for our equipment primarily through maintenance contracts. Revenue related to these agreements is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement.

(Tabular dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

Business Services Revenue
Business services revenue includes revenue from mail services and marketing services. Mail services include the preparation, sortation and aggregation of mail to earn postal discounts and expedite delivery and e-commerce solutions for cross border transactions. Marketing services include direct mail marketing services. Revenue for these services is recognized as the services are provided.

Shipping and Handling
Shipping and handling costs are recognized as incurred and recorded in cost of revenues.

Product Warranties
We provide product warranties in conjunction with the sale of certain products, generally for a period of 90 days from the date of installation. We estimate our liability for product warranties based on historical claims experience and other currently available evidence. Our product warranty liability at December 31, 2013 and 2012 was not material.

Deferred Marketing Costs
We capitalize certain direct mail, telemarketing, internet and retail marketing costs associated with the acquisition of new customers and recognize these costs over the expected revenue stream ranging from five to nine years. Deferred marketing costs expensed in 2013, 2012 and 2011 were $27 million, $30 million and $34 million, respectively. Deferred marketing costs included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets were $59 million and $73 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We review individual marketing programs for impairment on a quarterly basis or as circumstances warrant.

Restructuring Charges
Costs associated with exit or disposal activities, including lease termination costs and employee severance costs associated with restructuring, are recognized when they are incurred. The cost and related liability for one-time benefit arrangements is recognized when they are both probable and reasonably estimable.

Derivative Instruments
In the normal course of business, we are exposed to the impact of changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We limit these risks by following established risk management policies and procedures, including the use of derivatives. We use derivative instruments to manage the related cost of debt and to limit the effects of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on financial results. Derivative instruments typically consist of interest-rate swaps, forward contracts and currency swaps depending upon the underlying exposure. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

We record our derivative instruments at fair value and the accounting for changes in fair value depends on the intended use of the derivative, the resulting designation and the effectiveness of the instrument in offsetting the risk exposure it is designed to hedge. To qualify as a hedge, a derivative must be highly effective in offsetting the risk designated for hedging purposes. The hedge relationship must be formally documented at inception, detailing the particular risk management objective and strategy for the hedge. The effectiveness of the hedge relationship is evaluated on a retrospective and prospective basis.

The use of derivative instruments exposes us to counterparty credit risk. To mitigate such risks, we enter into contracts with only those financial institutions that meet stringent credit requirements. We regularly review our credit exposure balances as well as the creditworthiness of our counterparties. We have not seen a material change in the creditworthiness of those banks acting as derivative counterparties.

Income Taxes
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income during the period in which related temporary differences become deductible. We consider the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in this assessment. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date of such change.

Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share also includes the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options, market stock units, restricted stock, preference stock, preferred stock and stock purchase plans.

(Tabular dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

Translation of Non-U.S. Currency Amounts
In general, the functional currency of our foreign operations is the local currency. Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries operating outside the U.S. are translated at rates in effect at the end of the period and revenue and expenses are translated at average monthly rates during the period. Net deferred translation gains and losses are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

Loss Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, we are routinely defendants in, or party to, a number of pending and threatened legal actions. On a quarterly basis, we review the status of each significant matter and assess the potential financial exposure. If the potential loss from any claim or legal action is considered probable and can be reasonably estimated, we establish a liability for the estimated loss. The assessment of the ultimate outcome of each claim or legal action and the determination of the potential financial exposure requires significant judgment. Estimates of potential liabilities for claims or legal actions are based only on information that is available at that time. As additional information becomes available, we may revise our estimates, and these revisions could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position.

In January 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-01, Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities  (ASU 2013-01). ASU 2013-01 requires an entity to disclose gross and net information about transactions that are (1) offset in the financial statements or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, regardless of whether the transactions are actually offset in the statement of financial position. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The amounts impacting our disclosure were immaterial at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income  (ASU 2013-02). ASU 2013-02 requires an entity to present either parenthetically on the face of the financial statements, or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of this standard resulted in additional disclosures, but did not impact our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters  (ASU 2013-05). ASU 2013-05 resolves diversity in practice regarding the release into net income of the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of a subsidiary or a group of assets within a foreign entity. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2014. We do not expect the application of this new guidance will have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward or Tax Credit Carryforward Exists  (ASU 2013-11). ASU 2013-11 provides explicit guidance regarding the presentation in the statement of financial position of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward or a tax credit carryfoward exists. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. We do not expect the application of this new guidance will have a material impact on our financial position.

Depreciation expense was $158 million, $177 million and $195 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

During 2013, we entered into an agreement to sell our corporate headquarters building and certain surrounding parcels of land. We recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $26 million to write-down the carrying value of the building to its fair value. The fair value of the building was determined based on the estimated selling price less the costs to sell. The inputs used to determine the fair value were classified as Level 3. The impairment charge was included as restructuring charges and asset impairments in the Consolidated Statements of Income. We expect to close on the sale by mid-2014. At December 31, 2013, the carrying value of our corporate headquarters building and surrounding land were classified as assets held for sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

4. Finance Assets
Finance Receivables
Finance receivables are comprised of sales-type lease receivables and unsecured revolving loan receivables. Sales-type lease receivables are generally due in monthly, quarterly or semi-annual installments over periods ranging from three to five years. Loan receivables arise primarily from financing services offered to our customers for postage and related supplies. Loan receivables are generally due each month; however, customers may rollover outstanding balances.

Finance receivables at December 31, 2013 and 2012 consisted of the following:

Credit Quality
The extension of credit and management of credit lines to new and existing clients uses a combination of an automated credit score, where available, and a detailed manual review of the client's financial condition and, when applicable, payment history. Once credit is granted, the payment performance of the client is managed through automated collections processes and is supplemented with direct follow up should an account become delinquent. We have robust automated collections and extensive portfolio management processes. The portfolio management processes ensure that our global strategy is executed, collection resources are allocated appropriately and enhanced tools and processes are implemented as needed.
We use a third party to score the majority of the North America portfolio on a quarterly basis using a commercial credit score. We do not use a third party to score our International portfolio because the cost to do so is prohibitive, it is a localized process and there is no single credit score model that covers all countries.
The table below shows the North America portfolio at December 31, 2013 and 2012 by relative risk class (low, medium, high) based on the relative scores of the accounts within each class. The relative scores are determined based on a number of factors, including the company type, ownership structure, payment history and financial information. A fourth class is shown for accounts that are not scored. Absence of a score is not indicative of the credit quality of the account. The degree of risk, as defined by the third party, refers to the relative risk that an account in the next 12 month period may become delinquent.
 	 	
•	Low risk accounts are companies with very good credit scores and are considered to approximate the top 30% of all commercial borrowers.	
 	 	
•	Medium risk accounts are companies with average to good credit scores and are considered to approximate the middle 40% of all commercial borrowers.	
 	 	
•	High risk accounts are companies with poor credit scores, are delinquent or are at risk of becoming delinquent and are considered to approximate the bottom 30% of all commercial borrowers.

Troubled Debt
We maintain a program for U.S. clients in our North America loan portfolio who are experiencing financial difficulties, but are able to make reduced payments over an extended period of time. Upon acceptance into the program, the client’s credit line is closed and interest accrual is suspended. There is generally no forgiveness of debt or reduction of balances owed. The balance of loans in this program, related loan loss allowance and write-offs are insignificant to the overall portfolio.

2014	$	34,437	
 	
2015	30,439	
 	
2016	23,037

2018	10,547	
 	
Thereafter	10,553	
 	
Total	$	120,387	
 	
Actual amortization expense may differ from the amounts above due to, among other things, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, impairments, future acquisitions and accelerated amortization.

Term loans bear interest at the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 2.25% or Prime Rate plus 1.25%, at our option. Interest is payable and resets quarterly and the loans mature in 2015 and 2016.
 	 	
(1)	During the first quarter 2013, we completed a cash tender offer (the Tender Offer) for a portion of our 4.875% Notes due 2014 (2014 Notes), our 5.0% Notes due 2015, and our 4.75% Notes due 2016 (the Subject Notes). Holders who validly tendered their notes received the principal amount of the notes tendered, all accrued and unpaid interest and a premium amount. An aggregate $405 million of the Subject Notes were tendered. Subsequently, in the fourth quarter of 2013, we redeemed the remaining outstanding 2014 Notes that were scheduled to mature August 2014 through the exercise of a make-whole provision. In connection with the Tender Offer and the early redemption of the 2014 Notes, we recognized an aggregate net loss of $33 million .	
At December 31, 2012, we had interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional value of $450 million that effectively converted the fixed rate interest payments on the 2014 Notes into variable interest rates. In connection with the Tender Offer, we unwound a portion of these interest rate swap agreements, and in connection with redemption of the remaining outstanding notes in the fourth quarter of 2013, we unwound the remaining interest rate swap agreements. At December 31, 2013, we had no interest rate swaps outstanding.
 	 	
(2)	These notes may be redeemed, at our option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after November 27, 2015 at par plus accrued interest.

(3)	These notes may be redeemed by bondholders, in whole or in part, at par plus accrued interest, in January 2017.	

(4)	During the first quarter of 2013, we issued $425 million of 6.7% fixed rate notes. Interest is payable quarterly. The notes mature in 2043, but may be redeemed, at our option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after March 7, 2018 at par plus accrued and unpaid interest. We used the net proceeds from the notes to fund the Tender Offer.	

(5)	Other consists of the unamortized net proceeds received from unwinding of interest rate swaps, debt discounts and premiums and the mark-to-market adjustment of interest rate swaps, if applicable.	

There were no outstanding commercial paper borrowings at December 31, 2013 or 2012. As of December 31, 2013, we had not drawn upon our $1.0 billion credit facility. The credit facility expires in April 2016.

The above amounts are classified as current or long-term in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in accordance with the asset or liability to which they related or based on the expected timing of the reversal. A valuation allowance was recognized to reduce the total deferred tax assets to an amount that will more-likely-than-not be realized. The valuation allowance relates primarily to certain foreign, state and local net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards that are more likely than not to expire unutilized.

We have net operating loss carry forwards of $292 million as of December 31, 2013, of which, $260 million can be carried forward indefinitely and the remainder expire over the next 15 years In addition, we have tax credit carry forwards of $49 million that expire over the next 15 years.

As of December 31, 2013 we have not provided for income taxes on $700 million of cumulative undistributed earnings of subsidiaries outside the U.S. as these earnings will be either indefinitely reinvested or remitted substantially free of additional tax; however, we estimate that withholding taxes on such remittances would be $3 million. Determination of the liability that would be incurred if these earnings were remitted to the U.S. is not practicable as there is a significant amount of uncertainty with respect to determining the amount of foreign tax credits and other indirect tax consequences that may arise from the distribution of these earnings.

Uncertain Tax Positions
A reconciliation of the amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

 	2013	 	2012	 	2011	
Balance at beginning of year	$	146,905	
 	 	$	198,635	
 	 	$	531,790	
 	
Increases from prior period positions	15,777	
 	 	11,811	
 	 	67,065	
 	
Decreases from prior period positions	(6,908	)	 	(17,985	)	 	(140,107	)	
Increases from current period positions	23,549	
 	 	28,255	
 	 	28,686	
 	
Decreases relating to settlements with tax authorities	(482	)	 	(1,948	)	 	(18,204	)	
Reductions from lapse of applicable statute of limitations	(10,440	)	 	(71,863	)	 	(270,595	)	
Balance at end of year	$	168,401	
 	 	$	146,905	
 	 	$	198,635	
 	
The amount of the unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 that would affect the effective tax rate if recognized was $144 million, $123 million and $160 million, respectively.

On a regular basis, we conclude tax return examinations, statutes of limitations expire, and court decisions interpret tax law. We regularly assess tax uncertainties in light of these developments. As a result, it is reasonably possible that the amount of our unrecognized tax benefits will decrease in the next 12 months, and we expect this change could be up to 20% of our unrecognized tax benefits. We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in our provision for income taxes or discontinued operations as appropriate. During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, we recorded interest and penalties of $27 million, $(28) million and $(83) million, respectively. We had $37 million and $11 million accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Other Tax Matters
As is the case with other large corporations, our tax returns are examined each year by tax authorities in the U.S., other countries and local jurisdictions in which we have operations. Except for issues arising out of certain partnership investments, the IRS examinations of tax years prior to 2009 are closed to audit. Other than the pending application of legal principles to specific issues arising in earlier years, only post-2007 Canadian tax years are subject to examination. Other significant tax filings subject to examination include various post-2004 U.S. state and local, post-2007 German, and post-2011 French and U.K. tax filings. We have other less significant tax filings currently under examination or subject to examination. 
We regularly assess the likelihood of tax adjustments in each of the tax jurisdictions in which we have operations and account for the related financial statement implications.  We believe we have established tax reserves that are appropriate given the possibility of tax adjustments.  However, determining the appropriate level of tax reserves requires judgment regarding the uncertain application of tax law and the possibility of tax adjustments. Future changes in tax reserve requirements could have a material impact, positive or negative, on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
On August 27, 2012, the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit overturned a prior Tax Court decision and ruled in favor of the IRS and adverse to the Historic Boardwalk Hall LLC, a partnership in which we had made an investment in the year 2000. In January 2014, the Tax Court entered an order to implement the rulings of the Third Circuit. Under the terms of the partnership agreement,

(Tabular dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

we are indemnified against any payments we may be required to make. However, the potential for a difference in the timing of payments which may be due to taxing authorities and the timing of receipts due to us under the partnership agreement may cause fluctuations in our cash flows in future periods. Further, if we do not recover under the indemnification provisions of the partnership agreement, the amount of tax and interest due as a result of this matter could be as much as $100 million.
9. Noncontrolling Interests (Preferred Stockholders’ Equity in Subsidiaries)
Pitney Bowes International Holdings, Inc. (PBIH), a subsidiary, has 300,000 shares, or $300 million, of outstanding perpetual voting preferred stock (the Preferred Stock) held by certain institutional investors. The holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled as a group to 25% of the combined voting power of all classes of capital stock of PBIH. All outstanding common stock of PBIH, representing the remaining 75% of the combined voting power of all classes of capital stock, is owned directly or indirectly by the company. The Preferred Stock is entitled to cumulative dividends at a rate of 6.125% through 2016 after which it becomes callable and, if it remains outstanding, will yield a dividend that increases by 50% every six months thereafter. No dividends were in arrears at December 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012. There was no change in the carrying value of noncontrolling interests during the years ended December 31, 2013 or 2012.

10. Stockholders' Equity
Preferred Stock
We have two classes of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding: the 4% Preferred Stock (the Preferred Stock) and the $2.12 Preference Stock (the Preference Stock) .  The Preferred Stock is entitled to cumulative dividends of $2 per year and can be converted into 24.24 shares of common stock, subject to adjustment in certain events. The Preferred Stock is redeemable at our option at a price of $50 per share, plus dividends accrued through the redemption date. We are authorized to issue 600,000 shares of Preferred Stock. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, there were 74 shares and 85 shares outstanding, respectively. There are no unpaid dividends in arrears.

The Preference Stock is entitled to cumulative dividends of $2.12 per year and can be converted into 16.53 shares of common stock, subject to adjustment in certain events. The Preference Stock is redeemable at our option at a price of $28 per share. We are authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of Preference Stock. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, there were 21,838 shares and 23,928 shares outstanding, respectively. There are no unpaid dividends in arrears.

Common Stock
We have 480,000,000 shares of common stock authorized and 323,337,912 shares were issued at December 31, 2013 and 2012. At December 31, 2013, 39,810,385 shares were reserved for issuance under our stock plans, dividend reinvestment program and for the conversion of the Preferred Stock and Preference Stock.

Stock Plans
We have a long-term incentive program whereby eligible employees may be granted restricted stock units, non-qualified stock options, other stock-based awards, cash or any combination thereof. The Executive Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors administers these plans. We settle employee stock compensation awards with treasury shares. At December 31, 2013, there were 19,180,600 shares available for future grants under our long-term incentive program.

Restricted Stock Units
Restricted stock units are granted to employees and entitle the holder to shares of common stock as the units vest, typically over a four year service period. The fair value of the units is determined on the grant date based on the stock price on the grant date less the present value of expected dividends. The following table summarizes information about restricted stock units during 2013 and 2012:

 	2013	 	2012	
 	Shares	 	Weighted average grant date fair value	 	Shares	 	Weighted average grant date fair value

 	 	$	17.68	

At December 31, 2013, there was $12 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock units that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years. The intrinsic value of restricted stock units outstanding at December 31, 2013 was $45 million. The intrinsic value of restricted stock units vested during 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $15 million, $11 million and $13 million, respectively. The fair value of restricted stock units vested during 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $18 million, $13 million and $15 million, respectively.

Market Stock Units
Each market stock unit award entitles the holder to receive a number of shares, adjusted for the attainment of certain performance and market conditions. The award vests at the end of a three-year performance period and the actual number of shares the recipient receives may range from 50% to 200% of the shares awarded. The expense for these awards, net of estimated forfeitures, is recorded over the performance period based on the fair value of the award, which was determined on the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model. There were no market stock units awarded during 2013.
The following table summarizes information about market stock units during 2013 and 2012:

The fair value of market stock units granted in 2012 was determined based on the following assumptions:

Expected dividend yield	6.7	%	
Expected stock price volatility	29.7	%	
Risk-free interest rate	0.4	%	

At December 31, 2013, there was less than $1 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to market stock units that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.1 years. The intrinsic value of market stock units outstanding at December 31, 2013 was $4 million.

We estimate the fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes valuation model. Key input assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options include the volatility of our stock price, a risk-free interest rate, the expected dividend yield of our stock and expected life of the award. Expected stock price volatility is based on historical price changes of our stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. treasuries with a term equal to the expected option term. The expected life of the award and expected dividend yield are based on historical experience. The fair value of stock options granted during the year was determined using the following assumptions:

 	Years Ended December 31,	
 	2013	 	2012	 	2011	
Expected dividend yield	7.7	%	 	9.3	%	 	6.1	%	
Expected stock price volatility	29.5	%	 	30.0	%	 	26.1	%	
Risk-free interest rate	1.8	%	 	1.2	%	 	3.3	%	
Expected life	7.9 years	
 	 	7.9 years	
 	 	7.4 years	
 	
Weighted-average fair value per option granted	$0.88	 	$0.48	 	$3.45	

The fair value of stock options granted during 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $1 million, less than $1 million  and $5 million, respectively.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
We maintain a non-compensatory Employee Stock Purchase Plan that enables substantially all U.S. and Canadian employees to purchase shares of our common stock at an offering price of 95% of the average market price on the offering date. At no time will the exercise price be less than the lowest price permitted under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. Employees purchased 222,159 shares and 291,859 shares in 2013 and 2012, respectively. We have reserved 4,594,776 common shares for future purchase under the ESPP.

Directors' Stock Plan
Each non-employee director is granted shares of restricted stock on an annual basis. In 2013 and 2012, we granted 19,800 shares and 26,653 shares to non-employee directors, respectively.

13. Fair Value Measurements and Derivative Instruments
We measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity-specific measure. An entity is required to classify certain assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on the following fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 – Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, may be derived from internally developed methodologies based on management's best estimate of fair value and that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability.
The following tables show, by level within the fair value hierarchy, our financial assets and liabilities that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2013 and 2012. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect their placement within the fair value hierarchy.

Investment Securities
The valuation of investment securities is based on the market approach using inputs that are observable, or can be corroborated by observable data, in an active marketplace. The following information relates to our classification into the fair value hierarchy:
 	 	
•	Money Market Funds / Commercial Paper: Money market funds typically invest in government securities, certificates of deposit, commercial paper and other highly liquid, low risk securities. Money market funds are principally used for overnight deposits and are classified as Level 1 when unadjusted quoted prices in active markets are available and as Level 2 when they are not actively traded on an exchange. Direct investments in commercial paper are not listed on an exchange in an active market and are classified as Level 2.	
 	 	
•	Equity Securities: Equity securities are comprised of mutual funds investing in U.S. and foreign common stock. These mutual funds are classified as Level 2 as they are not separately listed on an exchange.	
 	 	
•	Commingled Fixed Income Securities:  Mutual funds that invest in a variety of fixed income securities including securities of the U.S. government and its agencies, corporate debt, mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities. The value of the funds is based on the market value of the underlying investments owned by each fund, minus its liabilities, divided by the number of shares outstanding, as reported by the fund manager. These commingled funds are not listed on an exchange in an active market and are classified as Level 2.	
 	 	
•	Debt Securities – U.S. and Foreign Governments, Agencies and Municipalities: Debt securities are classified as Level 1 where active, high volume trades for identical securities exist. Valuation adjustments are not applied to these securities. Debt securities valued using quoted market prices for similar securities or benchmarking model derived prices to quoted market prices and trade data for identical or comparable securities are classified as Level 2.	
 	 	
•	Debt Securities – Corporate: Corporate debt securities are valued using recently executed transactions, market price quotations where observable, or bond spreads. The spread data used are for the same maturity as the security. These securities are classified as Level 2.	
 	 	
•	Mortgage-Backed Securities / Asset-Backed Securities: These securities are valued based on external pricing indices. When external index pricing is not observable, these securities are valued based on external price/spread data. These securities are classified as Level 2.

Gross unrealized losses on investment securities that were in a loss position for greater than 12 months were $1 million at December 31, 2013 and less than $1 million at December 31, 2012. We have not recognized an other-than-temporary impairment on any of the investment securities in an unrealized loss position because we do not intend to sell these securities, it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell these securities before recovery of the unrealized losses and we expect to receive the contractual principal and interest on these investment securities.
  
At December 31, 2013, the amortized cost and estimated fair value of available-for-sale securities have scheduled maturities as follows:

 	Amortized cost	 	Estimated fair value	
Within 1 year	$	41,853	
 	 	$	41,932	
 	
After 1 year through 5 years	46,869

 	 	166,936	
 	
Total	$	325,368	
 	 	$	322,292	
 	
The expected payments on mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may not coincide with their contractual maturities as borrowers have the right to prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalties.
We have not experienced any write-offs in our investment portfolio. The majority of our mortgage-backed securities are either guaranteed or supported by the U.S. government. We have no investments in inactive markets that would warrant a possible change in our pricing methods or classification within the fair value hierarchy. Further, we have no investments in auction rate securities.
Derivative Instruments
The valuation of foreign exchange derivatives is based on a market approach using observable market inputs, such as forward rates. The valuation of interest rate swaps is based on an income approach using a model with inputs that are observable or that can be derived from or corroborated by observable market data. As required by the fair value measurements guidance, we also incorporate counterparty credit risk and our credit risk into the fair value measurement of our derivative assets and liabilities, respectively. We derive credit risk from observable data related to credit default swaps.

Interest Rate Swaps
Derivatives designated as fair value hedges include interest rate swaps related to fixed rate debt. Changes in the fair value of both the derivative and item being hedged are recognized in earnings. The following represents the results of fair value hedging relationships for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012:

 	 	$	9,994	
 	 	$	(11,883	)	 	$	(31,137	)	

Foreign Exchange Contracts
We enter into foreign currency exchange contracts to mitigate the currency risk associated with the anticipated purchase of inventory between affiliates and from third parties. These contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. The effective portion of the gain or loss on cash flow hedges is included in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) in the period that the change in fair value occurs and is reclassified to earnings in the period that the hedged item is recorded in earnings. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, we had outstanding contracts associated with these anticipated transactions with a notional amount of $26 million and $25 million, respectively. The fair value of these contracts was a net asset of less than $1 million at December 31, 2013 and a net liability of less than $1 million at December 31, 2012.
The amounts included in AOCI at December 31, 2013 will be recognized in earnings within the next 12 months. No amount of ineffectiveness was recorded in earnings for these designated cash flow hedges.

We also enter into foreign exchange contracts to minimize the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on short-term intercompany loans and related interest that are denominated in a foreign currency. The revaluation of the intercompany loans and interest and the mark-to-market adjustment on the derivatives are both recorded in earnings. The fair value of these contracts was a net liability of $2 million at December 31, 2013 and a net asset of $2 million at December 31, 2012. All outstanding contracts at December 31, 2013 mature within one year.

Credit-Risk-Related Contingent Features
Certain derivative instruments contain credit-risk-related contingent features that would require us to post collateral based on a combination of our long-term senior unsecured debt ratings and the net fair value of our derivatives. At December 31, 2013, the maximum amount of collateral that we would have been required to post had the credit-risk-related contingent features been triggered was $2 million.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, investment securities, accounts receivable, loan receivables, derivative instruments, accounts payable and debt. The carrying value for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, loans receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
The fair value of our debt is estimated based on recently executed transactions and market price quotations.  The inputs used to determine the fair value of our debt were classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value and estimated fair value of our debt at December 31, 2013 and 2012 was as follows:

 	December 31,	
 	2013	 	2012	
Carrying value	$	3,346,295

In 2013, we initiated actions designed to further enhance our responsiveness to changing market conditions, streamline our business operations, reduce our cost structure and create long-term flexibility to invest in growth. These actions resulted in restructuring charges of $67 million. Restructuring charges also include the reversal of $7 million based on a review of our remaining obligations under prior programs. The majority of the remaining restructuring reserves are expected to be paid over the next 12-24 months. Due to certain international labor laws and long-term lease agreements, some payments will extend beyond 24 months. We expect to fund these payments from cash flows from operations.

During 2012, we took actions to further streamline our business operations and reduce our cost structure. These actions consisted primarily of workforce reductions and resulted in a pre-tax restructuring charge of $38 million. Restructuring charges are net of reversals of $15 million for changes in estimated reserves for prior period programs.

Restructuring charges in 2011 represent charges taken in connection with a series of strategic transformation initiatives announced in 2009. These initiatives were designed to transform and enhance the way we operate as a global company, enhance our responsiveness to changing market conditions and create improved processes and systems and were implemented over a three year period through 2011.

Asset Impairments
During 2013, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $26 million related to an agreement to sell our corporate headquarters building (see Note 3).

15. Commitments and Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, we are routinely defendants in, or party to, a number of pending and threatened legal actions. These may involve litigation by or against us relating to, among other things, contractual rights under vendor, insurance or other contracts; intellectual property or patent rights; equipment, service, payment or other disputes with clients; or disputes with employees. Some of these actions may be brought as a purported class action on behalf of a purported class of employees, clients or others.

In December 2013, we received a Civil Investigative Demand (CID) from the Department of Justice (DOJ) pursuant to the False Claims Act requesting documents and information relating to compliance with certain postal regulatory requirements in our Presort Services business. We had previously provided information to the DOJ in response to letter requests and continue to provide information in response to the CID and other requests from the DOJ. Given the current stage of this inquiry, we cannot provide an estimate of any possible losses or range of loss and we cannot yet predict the ultimate outcome of this matter or its impact, if any, on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

16. Leases
We lease office facilities, sales and service offices, equipment and other properties under operating lease agreements extending from three to eight years. Certain leases require us to pay property taxes, insurance and routine maintenance and include renewal options and escalation clauses. Rental expense was $67 million, $68 million and $78 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases at December 31, 2013 were as follows:

Years ending December 31,	 	
2014	$	55,908	
 	
2015	43,089

17. Segment Information
During the year, we sold certain businesses and realigned our segment reporting to reflect the clients we serve, the solutions we offer, and how we manage, review, analyze and measure our operations (See Note 1). Our historical results have been recast to present the operating results of divested businesses as discontinued operations and our segment results have been recast to conform to our new segment reporting. The principal products and services of each of our reporting segments are as follows:

Small & Medium Business Solutions:
North America Mailing: Includes the revenue and related expenses from the sale, rental and financing of mailing equipment and supplies for small and medium size businesses to efficiently create mail and evidence postage in the U.S. and Canada.
International Mailing: Includes the revenue and related expenses from the sale, rental and financing of mailing equipment and supplies for small and medium size businesses to efficiently create mail and evidence postage in areas outside North America.

Enterprise Business Solutions:
Production Mail:  Includes the worldwide revenue and related expenses from the sale, support and other professional services of our high-speed sorting and production print equipment and production mail systems to large enterprise clients to process inbound and outbound mail.
Presort Services: Includes revenue and related expenses from presort mail services for our large enterprise clients to qualify large mail volumes for postal worksharing discounts.

Digital Commerce Solutions:
Digital Commerce Solutions: Includes the worldwide revenue and related expenses from (i) the sale and support services of non-equipment-based mailing, client relationship and communication and location intelligence software; (ii) direct marketing services for targeted clients; (iii) our cross-border e-commerce solutions; and (iv) our digital mail delivery service offering.

Revenue and segment earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) for our reportable segments for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 are presented in the tables below. 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 impairment charges, which are recognized on a consolidated basis. Management uses segment EBIT to measure profitability and performance at the segment level. Management believes segment EBIT provides investors with an analysis of the company's operating performance and underlying trends of the businesses. Segment EBIT may not be indicative of our overall consolidated performance and therefore, should be read in conjunction with our consolidated results of operations.

18. Retirement Plans and Postretirement Medical Benefits
We have several defined benefit retirement plans. Benefits are primarily based on employees' compensation and years of service. Our contributions are determined based on the funding requirements of U.S. federal and other governmental laws and regulations. We use a measurement date of December 31 for all of our retirement plans. U.S. employees hired after January 1, 2005, Canadian employees hired after April 1, 2005 and U.K. employees hired after July 1, 2005 are not eligible for our defined benefit retirement plans.
Benefit accruals for those participants in our two largest U.S. pension plans with less than 16 years of service as of March 31, 2013 were frozen on March 31, 2013. Benefit accruals for all participants in our U.K. pension plans were frozen during 2013. Benefit accruals for those participants in our two largest U.S. pension plans with 16 or more years of service as of March 31, 2013 and all participants in our Canadian pension plans, will be frozen effective December 31, 2014.

A discount rate is used to determine the present value of our future benefit obligations. The discount rate for our U.S. pension and postretirement medical benefit plans is determined by matching the expected cash flows associated with our benefit obligations to a yield curve based on long-term, high-quality fixed income debt instruments available as of the measurement date. For the U.K. retirement benefit plan, our largest foreign plan, the discount rate is determined by discounting each year's estimated benefit payments by an applicable spot rate, derived from a yield curve created from a large number of high-quality corporate bonds. For our other smaller foreign pension plans, the discount rate is selected based on high-quality fixed income indices available in the country in which the plan is domiciled.

The expected return on plan assets is based on historical and expected rates of return for current and planned asset classes in the plans' investment portfolio after analyzing historical experience and future expectations of the returns and volatility of the various asset classes. The overall expected rate of return for the portfolio is based on the asset allocation at the end of the year for our U.S. pension plans and the target asset allocation for our international pension plans, adjusted for historical and expected experience of active portfolio management results, when compared to the benchmark returns. When assessing the expected future returns for the portfolio, management places more emphasis on the expected future returns than historical returns.

Investment Strategy and Asset Allocation - U.S. Pension Plans
The investment strategy of our U.S. pension plans is to maximize returns within reasonable and prudent levels of risk, to achieve and maintain full funding of the accumulated benefit obligation and the actuarial liabilities and to earn a nominal rate of return of at least 7.0%. The fund has established a strategic asset allocation policy to achieve these objectives. Investments are diversified across asset classes and within each class to reduce the risk of large losses and are periodically rebalanced. Derivatives, such as swaps, options, forwards and futures contracts may be used for market exposure, to alter risk/return characteristics and to manage foreign currency exposure. Investments within the private equity and real estate portfolios are comprised of limited partnership units in primary and secondary fund of funds and units in open-ended commingled real estate funds, respectively. These types of investment vehicles are used in an effort to gain greater asset diversification. We do not have any significant concentrations of credit risk within the plan assets. The pension plans' liabilities, investment objectives and investment managers are reviewed periodically.

The target asset allocation for 2014 and the actual asset allocations at December 31, 2013 and 2012, for the U.S. pension plans are as follows:

 	Target allocation	 	Percent of Plan Assets at December 31,	
 	2014	 	2013	 	2012	
Asset category	 	 	 	 	 	
U.S. equities	11	%	 	16	%	 	14	%	
Non-U.S. equities	11	%	 	14	%	 	15	%	
Fixed income	68	%	 	60	%	 	61	%

Private equity	8	%	 	6	%	 	6	%	
Total	100	%	 	100	%	 	100	%	

The target asset allocation used to manage the investment portfolio is based on the broad asset categories shown above. The plan asset categories presented in the fair value hierarchy are subsets of the broad asset categories.

Investment Strategy and Asset Allocation - Foreign Pension Plans
Our foreign pension plan assets are managed by outside investment managers and monitored regularly by local trustees and our corporate personnel. The investment strategies adopted by our foreign plans vary by country and plan, with each strategy tailored to achieve the expected rate of return within an acceptable or appropriate level of risk, depending upon the liability profile of plan participants, local funding requirements, investment markets and restrictions. The U.K. plan represents 74% of the non-U.S. pension assets. The U.K. pension plan's investment strategy is to maximize returns within reasonable and prudent levels of risk, to achieve and maintain full funding of the accumulated benefit obligation and the actuarial liabilities and to earn a nominal rate of return of at least 7.5%. The fund has established a strategic asset allocation policy to achieve these objectives. Investments are diversified across asset classes and within each class to minimize the risk of large losses and are periodically rebalanced. Derivatives, such as swaps, options, forwards and futures contracts may be used for market exposure, to alter risk/return characteristics and to manage foreign currency exposure.

The target asset allocation used to manage the investment portfolio is based on the broad asset categories shown above. The plan asset categories presented in the fair value hierarchy are subsets of the broad asset categories.

The fair value of the U.K. plan assets was $414 million and $370 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and the expected long-term weighted average rate of return on these plan assets was 7.38% in 2013 and 7.25% in 2012.

Fair Value Measurements of Plan Assets
The following tables show, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the financial assets and liabilities that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, for the U.S. and foreign pension plans. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

The following information relates to our classification of investments into the fair value hierarchy:
 	 	
•	Money Market Funds: Money market funds typically invest in government securities, certificates of deposit, commercial paper of companies and other highly liquid, low risk securities. Money market funds are principally used for overnight deposits. The money market funds are classified as Level 2 since they are not actively traded on an exchange.	
 	 	
•	Equity Securities: Equity securities include U.S. and foreign common stock, American Depository Receipts, preferred stock and commingled funds. Equity securities classified as Level 1 are valued using active, high volume trades for identical securities. Equity securities classified as Level 2 represent those not listed on an exchange in an active market. These securities are valued based on quoted market prices of similar securities.	
 	 	
•	Commingled Fixed Income Securities:  Mutual funds that invest in a variety of fixed income securities including securities of the U.S. government and its agencies, corporate debt, mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities. Value of the funds is based on the net asset value (NAV) per unit as reported by the fund manager. NAV is based on the market value of the underlying investments owned by each fund, minus its liabilities, divided by the number of shares outstanding. Commingled fixed income securities are not listed on an active exchange and are classified as Level 2.	
 	 	
•	Debt Securities - U.S. and Foreign Governments, Agencies and Municipalities: Government securities include treasury notes and bonds, foreign government issues, U.S. government sponsored agency debt and commingled funds. Municipal debt securities include general obligation securities and revenue-backed securities. Debt securities classified as Level 1 are valued using active, high volume trades for identical securities. Debt securities classified as Level 2 are valued through benchmarking model derived prices to quoted market prices and trade data for identical or comparable securities.	
 	 	
•	Corporate Debt Securities: Investments are comprised of both investment grade debt (≥BBB-) and high-yield debt (≤BBB-). The fair value of corporate debt securities is valued using recently executed transactions, market price quotations where observable, or bond spreads. The spread data used are for the same maturity as the security. These securities are classified as Level 2.	
 	 	
•	Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS): Investments are comprised of agency-backed MBS, non-agency MBS, collateralized mortgage obligations, commercial MBS, and commingled funds. These securities are valued based on external pricing indices. When external index pricing is not observable, MBS are valued based on external price/spread data. If neither pricing method is available, broker quotes are utilized. When inputs are observable and supported by an active market, MBS are classified as Level 2 and when inputs are unobservable, MBS are classified as Level 3.	
 	 	
•	Asset-Backed Securities (ABS): Investments are primarily comprised of credit card receivables, auto loan receivables, student loan receivables, and Small Business Administration loans. These securities are valued based on external pricing indices or external price/spread data and are classified as Level 2.	
 	 	
•	Private Equity: Investments are comprised of units in fund-of-fund investment vehicles. Fund-of-funds consist of various private equity investments and are used in an effort to gain greater diversification. The investments are valued in accordance with the most appropriate valuation techniques, and are classified as Level 3 due to the unobservable inputs used to determine a fair value.	
 	 	
•	Real Estate: Investments include units in open-ended commingled real estate funds. Properties that comprise these funds are valued in accordance with the most appropriate valuation techniques, and are classified as Level 3 due to the unobservable inputs used to determine a fair value.

•	Securities Lending Fund: Investment represents a commingled fund through our custodian's securities lending program. The U.S. pension plan lends securities that are held within the plan to other banks and/or brokers, and receives collateral, typically cash. This collateral is invested in a short-term fixed income securities commingled fund. The commingled fund is not listed or traded on an exchange and is classified as Level 2. This amount invested in the fund is offset by a corresponding liability reflected in the U.S. pension plan's net assets available for benefits.

The assumed health care cost trend rate used in measuring the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation for the U.S. plan was 7.0% for 2013 and 7.5% for 2012. The assumed health care trend rate is 6.5% for 2014 and will gradually decline to 5.0% by the year 2017 and remain at that level thereafter. Assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the health care plans. A 1% change in the assumed health care cost trend rates would have the following effects:

The loss from discontinued operations in 2013 includes aggregate goodwill impairment charges of $101 million and asset impairment charges of $15 million. A goodwill impairment charge of $98 million was recorded for PBMS NA. As a result of lower than expected operating performance during the first half of 2013 due to the loss of certain customer contracts, pricing pressure on contract renewals and a longer than originally anticipated sales cycle for some of our new growth areas, future cash flows were estimated to be lower than originally projected. Given these factors, an interim goodwill impairment test was performed. Based on our review, it was determined that the carrying value of goodwill exceeded its implied fair value. Accordingly, a goodwill impairment charge of $98 million was recognized to write-down the carrying value of goodwill to its estimated implied fair value. The fair value of PBMS NA was determined based on a combination of techniques, including external valuation data, the present value of future cash flows and applicable multiples of competitors. These inputs were classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. In 2013, we also recorded goodwill impairment charges of $2 million in connection with the sale of PBMSi and $1 million in connection with the sale of the Nordic furniture business.

During 2012, in connection with our decision to exit our IMS operations, we conducted a goodwill impairment review. We determined the fair value of IMS based on third-party written offers to purchase the business as well applying an income approach with revised cash

flow projections. The inputs used to determine the fair value of IMS were classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Based on the results of our impairment test, a goodwill impairment charge of $18 million and asset impairment charges of $17 million were recorded to write-down the carrying value of goodwill, intangible assets and other assets to their respective implied fair values.

Income from discontinued operations in 2011 includes aggregate goodwill impairment charges of $130 million and asset impairment charges of $17 million. Due to the under-performance of IMS, we performed a goodwill impairment review. We determined the fair value of IMS using a combination of techniques including the present value of future cash flows, multiples of competitors and multiples from sales of like businesses, and determined that the IMS reporting unit was impaired. The inputs used to determine the fair value of IMS were classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Based on the results of our impairment test, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $46 million and an intangible asset impairment charge of $12 million to write-down the carrying value of goodwill and intangible assets to their respective implied fair values.

Also in 2011, based on the results of our annual goodwill impairment review, management determined that PBMSi was impaired. The fair value of PBMSi was determined using a combination of techniques including the present value of future cash flows, derived from our long-term plans and historical experience, multiples of competitors and multiples from sales of like businesses. The inputs used to determine the fair value were classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Based on the results of our impairment test, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $84 million and intangible asset impairment charge of $5 million to write-down the carrying value of goodwill and intangible assets to their respective estimated fair values.

The amounts recognized for Capital Services in 2013, 2012 and 2011 relate primarily to tax benefits from the resolution of tax examinations.
