The company believes it is poised to deliver solid performance in the long term and achieve solid profitability based on its strong product portfolio. Pitney Bowes is benefiting from its Strategic Transformation program, helping it to effectively provide new products and services.

The company is a leading supplier of products and services in most of its business segments. Its meter base and its ability to place and finance meters in key markets contribute significantly to its revenue and profitability. However, all of its segments face competition from a number of companies. We believe that its vast experience and reputation for product quality, as well as its sales and support service organizations, are important factors in influencing customer choices with respect to its products and services.

However, many of Pitney Bowescontracts are with government entities. Government contracts are subject to extensive and complex government procurement laws and regulations, along with regular audits of contract pricing and business practices.
