Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to comparable GAAP measures can be found in the attached financial schedules. Update on Capital Allocation • The Company reduced debt by $148 million in the quarter, including $46 million through a tender offer of its notes, due in 2037 and 2043, at a discount to par. Year-to-date, debt has been reduced by $108 million. • During the quarter, the Company also repriced its $585 million Term Loan B, due 2032, reducing the interest margin by 75 basis points. • The Company repurchased approximately 1.0 million shares for $17 million in the third quarter at an average per share price of $16.84. Additionally, the Company repurchased another 0.6 million shares for $11 million from the start of the fourth quarter through October 23, 2026. • The Board approved a $0.10 per share quarterly regular dividend, which is payable on December 8, 2026, to shareholders of record as of November 16, 2026. Business Segment Reporting SendTech Solutions SendTech Solutions offers physical and digital shipping and mailing technology solutions, financing, services, supplies and other applications for small and medium businesses, retail, enterprise, and Exhibit 99.1
government clients around the world to help simplify and save on the sending, tracking and receiving of letters, parcels and flats. Third Quarter $ millions 2026 2025 $ Change % Change Revenue $305 $311 ($6) (2%) Adj. Segment EBITDA $124 $112 $12 11% Adj. Segment EBIT $115 $101 $14 14% SendTech saw a modest revenue decline in the third quarter due to anticipated decreases in the mailing install base at this point in the cycle. This was partially offset by higher equipment sales. Gross profit was flat year-over-year despite lower revenue, supported by favorable product mix and lower tariff costs. Adjusted Segment EBITDA and EBIT improved as a result of cost reductions, with operating expenses declining $13 million versus prior year. Results also benefited from certain non-recurring items, most notably a $3 million benefit allocation from Corporate expenses reflecting better-than-anticipated medical claims at SendTech year-to-date. Presort Services Presort Services provides sortation services that enable clients to qualify for USPS workshare discounts in First Class Mail, Marketing Mail, Marketing Mail Flats and Bound Printed Matter. Third Quarter $ millions 2026 2025 $ Change % Change Revenue $151 $149 $2 1% Adj. Segment EBITDA $41 $42 ($1) (2%) Adj. Segment EBIT $32 $33 ($1) (2%) Presort revenue grew 1% in the third quarter, returning to year-over-year growth, driven by increased volume from new client wins. Total volume sorted in the quarter was 3.4 billion pieces of mail, a 4% increase year-over-year. Adjusted Segment EBITDA and EBIT saw modest declines due to lower revenue per piece and to higher transportation costs, which increased $6 million year-over-year driven by elevated fuel prices and freight cost inflation. Results also benefited from a non-recurring $7 million benefit allocation from Corporate expenses reflecting better-than-anticipated medical claims at Presort year-to-date. 2026 Full-Year Outlook As a result of strong performance, the Company is raising the low end and effectively establishing a higher midpoint for Revenue. The Company is also raising its guidance for Adjusted Free Cash Flow and narrowing its guidance ranges for Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EPS, maintaining their midpoints. Of note, the Company's year-to-date Adjusted Free Cash Flow reflects the benefit of increased prepayments due to new customers, resulting from the exit of a significant mail sortation competitor. Updated guidance for Revenue, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EPS and Adjusted Free Cash Flow in 2026 is as follows: Previous Guidance Updated Guidance $ millions, except EPS Low High Low High Revenue $1,800 $1,860 $1,830 $1,860 Adjusted EBIT $445 $475 $450 $470
Adjusted EPS $1.55 $1.70 $1.58 $1.67 Adjusted Free Cash Flow $360 $410 $380 $420 Q3 2026 Earnings Conference Call Management will discuss the Company’s results in a webcast tomorrow, October 29, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. ET.

Adjusted Segment EBIT Adjusted Segment EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) is the primary measure of profitability and operational performance at the segment level. Adjusted Segment EBIT includes segment revenues and related costs and expenses attributable to the segment, but excludes interest, taxes, general corporate expenses, restructuring charges, and other items not allocated to a business segment. Effective January 1, 2026, Adjusted Segment EBIT also excludes pension expense related to U.S. and Canada pension plans that we have taken steps to terminate. We also report Adjusted Segment EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) as an additional useful measure of segment profitability and operational performance, which is calculated as Adjusted Segment EBIT plus depreciation and amortization expense of the segment. Use of Non-GAAP Measures Pitney Bowes’ financial results are reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Pitney Bowes also discloses certain non-GAAP measures, such as Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings per share (Adjusted EPS) and adjusted free cash flow. Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS exclude the impact of restructuring charges, foreign currency gains and losses on intercompany loans, certain costs associated with the Ecommerce Restructuring, gains and losses on debt redemptions and other unusual items that we believe are not indicative of our core business operations. For the 2026 periods, these measures also exclude pension expense related to the U.S. and Canada pension plans that we have taken steps to terminate. Effective Q2 2026, the Company has renamed “Free Cash Flow” to “Adjusted Free Cash Flow”. This is a change in title only. There is no change in definition nor calculation methodology, and all prior-period amounts remain unchanged. Adjusted free cash flow adjusts cash flow from operations calculated in accordance with GAAP for capital expenditures, restructuring payments and other special items. Management believes adjusted free cash flow provides better insight into the amount of cash available for other discretionary uses. Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to comparable GAAP measures can be found in the attached financial schedules and at the Company's website at: https://www.investorrelations.pitneybowes.com. We
do not provide a reconciliation of forward‑looking non‑GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures because items necessary for such reconciliation are not available on a reasonable basis without unreasonable efforts.
