NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited; table amounts in thousands unless otherwise noted, except per share amounts)
1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
Pitney Bowes Inc. (we, us, our, or the company) is a global technology company providing commerce solutions that power billions of transactions. Clients around the world rely on the accuracy and precision delivered by our equipment, solutions, analytics, and application programming interface technology in the areas of ecommerce fulfillment, shipping and returns, cross-border ecommerce, office mailing and shipping, presort services and financing. Pitney Bowes Inc. was incorporated in the state of Delaware in 1920. For more information about us, our products, services and solutions, visit www.pitneybowes.com.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and the instructions to Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In addition, the December 31, 2019 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. In management's opinion, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary to fairly state our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented have been included. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2020, particularly in light of the novel coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) and its effects on domestic and global businesses and economies. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report to Stockholders on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (2019 Annual Report). Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
In August 2019, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Software Solutions business and recast prior periods to reflect the operating results of the Software Solutions business as discontinued operations. The sale was completed in December 2019, with the exception of the software business in Australia, which closed in January 2020. See Note 4 for additional information.
Accounts and other receivables includes other receivables of $61 million at June 30, 2020 and $91 million at December 31, 2019. In January 2019, we sold the direct operations and moved to a dealer model in six smaller international markets within Sending Technology Solutions (SendTech Solutions). Other receivables includes gross receivables of $24 million related to these direct operations.
Risks and Uncertainties
The effects of COVID-19 on global economies and businesses continues to impact how we conduct business and our operating results, financial position and cash flows. There still remains uncertainty around the severity, duration and governments' responses to COVID-19, particularly in the United States as parts of the country are experiencing a resurgence in COVID-19 cases and taking actions to modify re-opening plans. Accordingly, we are not able to reasonably estimate the full extent of the impact of the pandemic on our operating results, financial position and liquidity for the remainder of the year. Actual results could differ significantly from our estimates and assumptions, possibly resulting in additional impairments or other charges in future reporting periods.
We assessed certain accounting matters that require the use of estimates, assumptions and consideration of forecasted financial information in context with the known and projected future impacts of COVID-19. The most significant impacts are included below.
The determination of our provision for credit losses is now impacted by changes in forecasted economic conditions (see Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2020 below). The impact of COVID-19 on global economies and businesses resulted in an increased probability of recessionary conditions, delinquency rates and business bankruptcy. As a result, our credit loss provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was $12 million and $28 million compared to $4 million and $15 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.
At December 31, 2019, the fair value of our Global Ecommerce business exceeded its carrying value by less than 20%. The determination of fair value is based on a number of estimates and assumptions, including, but not limed to, projected revenue growth, profitability and cash flows. During the first quarter of 2020, our Global Ecommerce business experienced weaker than expected performance in part due to the macroeconomic conditions resulting from COVID-19. As a result, we evaluated the Global Ecommerce goodwill for impairment and recorded a non-cash, pre-tax goodwill impairment charge of $198 million in the first quarter of 2020 (see Note 8 for additional information).

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited; table amounts in thousands unless otherwise noted, except per share amounts)
Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2020
Effective January 1, 2020, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. We adopted this standard using the modified retrospective transition approach with a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. The adoption of the standard resulted in an increase in the opening reserve balance for Accounts and other receivables of $15 million and the opening reserve balance for finance receivables of $10 million and a net reduction to retained earnings of $22 million. The ASU applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including finance receivables, trade and other receivables and investments in debt securities classified as available-for-sale and held-to-maturity. The ASU replaces the current incurred loss impairment model that recognizes losses when a probable threshold is met with a requirement to recognize lifetime expected credit losses immediately when a financial asset is originated or purchased. The models to estimate credit losses are required to be based on historical loss experience, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts and current economic outlook.
Activity in the allowance for credit losses for accounts and other receivables for the six months ended June 30, 2020 is presented below. See Note 7 for additional information pertaining to our finance receivables.

Accounts receivable greater than 365 days past due, subject to certain exceptions, are written off against the allowance, although collection efforts may continue.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The ASU simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles and also clarifies and amends existing guidance. This standard is effective beginning January 1, 2021, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The ASU is intended to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The transition to new reference interest rates will require certain contracts to be modified and the ASU is intended to mitigate the effects of this transition. The accommodations provided by the ASU are effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and may be applied at the beginning of any interim period within that time frame. We are currently assessing the impact this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

3. Segment Information
Our reportable segments are Global Ecommerce, Presort Services and SendTech Solutions. Global Ecommerce and Presort Services comprise the Commerce Services reporting group. The principal products and services of each reportable segment are as follows:
Global Ecommerce: Includes the revenue and related expenses from products and services that facilitate domestic retail and ecommerce shipping solutions, including fulfillment and returns, and global cross-border ecommerce transactions.
Presort Services: Includes revenue and related expenses from sortation services to qualify large volumes of First Class Mail, Marketing Mail and Marketing Mail Flats and Bound Printed Matter for postal worksharing discounts.
SendTech Solutions: Includes the revenue and related expenses from physical and digital mailing and shipping technology solutions, financing, services, supplies and other applications to help simplify and save on the sending, tracking and receiving of letters, parcels and flats.
Management measures segment profitability and performance using segment earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT). Segment EBIT is calculated by deducting from segment revenue the related costs and expenses attributable to the segment. Segment EBIT excludes interest, taxes, general corporate expenses, restructuring charges, asset impairment charges and other items not allocated to a particular business segment. Management believes that it provides investors a useful measure of operating performance and underlying trends of the business. Segment EBIT may not be indicative of our overall consolidated performance and therefore, should be read in conjunction with our consolidated results of operations. The following tables provide information about our reportable segments and reconciliation of segment EBIT to net (loss) income.

7. Finance Assets and Lessor Operating Leases
Finance Assets
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 clients for postage and supplies. Most loan receivables are generally due each month; however, clients may rollover outstanding balances. Interest is recognized on loan receivables using the effective interest method and related annual fees are initially deferred and recognized ratably over the annual period covered. Client acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.
Finance receivables consisted of the following:

Allowance for Credit Losses
We estimate an allowance for credit losses based on historical loss experience, the nature of our portfolios, adverse situations that may affect a client's ability to pay, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts and current economic outlook. Credit losses are estimated at the portfolio level based on asset type and geographic market. Historical loss experience was based on actual loss rates over the average term of the asset of five years for sales-type lease receivables and three years for loan receivables (including accrued interest). Additionally, we evaluate current conditions and review third-party economic forecasts on a quarterly basis to determine the impact on the allowance for credit losses. The assumptions used in determining an estimate of credit losses are inherently subjective and actual results may differ significantly from estimated reserves. The allowance for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 considers the current economic conditions and resulting impact on a client's future ability to pay amounts due.
PITNEY BOWES INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited; table amounts in thousands unless otherwise noted, except per share amounts)
We establish credit approval limits based on the credit quality of the client 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 loan receivables that are more than 90 days past due. We resume revenue recognition when the client's payments reduce the account aging to less than 60 days 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 monitor delinquency rates and have experienced a slight increase in our delinquencies during this current economic situation. However, we believe that our finance receivable credit risk is low because of the geographic and industry diversification of our clients and small account balances for most of our clients.
Activity in the allowance for credit losses for finance receivables was as follows:

Credit Quality
The extension of credit and management of credit lines to new and existing clients uses a combination of a client's credit score, where available, and a detailed manual review of their financial condition and payment history or an automated process for certain small dollar applications. 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 in place track 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. The relative scores are determined based on a number of factors, including financial information, payment history, company type and ownership structure. 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 (low, medium, high), as defined by the third party, refers to the relative risk that an account may become delinquent in the next 12 months.
|
|
|
|
•
|
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.

The majority of the Not Scored amounts above is within our International portfolio. We do not use a third party to score our International portfolio because the cost to do so is prohibitive, given that it is a localized process, and there is no single credit score model that covers all countries. International credit applications below $50 thousand are subjected to an automated review process. All other credit applications are manually reviewed. A manual review includes obtaining client financial information, credit reports and other available financial information. Approximately 80% of credit applications are approved or denied through the automated review process.

Amortization expense was $9 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, and $18 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.
Future amortization expense as of June 30, 2020 is shown in the table below. Actual amortization expense may differ due to, among other things, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, impairments, acquisitions and accelerated amortization.

During the first quarter of 2020, our Global Ecommerce reporting unit experienced weaker than expected performance, in part due to the macroeconomic conditions resulting from COVID-19. At December 31, 2019, the fair value of our Global Ecommerce business exceeded its carrying value by less than 20%, and the deteriorating macroeconomic conditions and uncertainty brought on by COVID-19 caused us to evaluate the Global Ecommerce goodwill for impairment.
To test the Global Ecommerce goodwill for impairment, we determined the fair value of the Global Ecommerce reporting unit and compared it to the reporting unit's carrying value, including goodwill. We engaged a third-party to assist in the determination of the fair value of the reporting unit. The determination of fair value, and the resulting impairment charge, relied on internal projections developed using numerous estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties. These estimates and assumptions included revenue growth, profitability, cash flows, capital spending and other available information. The determination of fair value also incorporated a risk-adjusted discount rate, terminal growth rates and 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 and could result in an additional impairment charge in the future. These estimates and assumptions are considered Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy.
PITNEY BOWES INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited; table amounts in thousands unless otherwise noted, except per share amounts)
We determined that the reporting unit's estimated fair value was less than its carrying value and recorded a non-cash, pre-tax goodwill impairment charge of $198 million in the first quarter to reduce the carrying value of the Global Ecommerce reporting unit to its estimated fair value.
Other Assets
During the second quarter of 2020, we surrendered certain company owned life insurance policies and received proceeds of $46 million. We did not record a gain or loss on the surrender; however, the surrender resulted in a tax expense of $12 million (see Note 13 for further information). Also, during the second quarter of 2020, we sold our interest in an equity investment for $12 million and recognized a gain of $12 million.
9. 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.
|
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 its placement within the fair value hierarchy. 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.

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: 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.
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
Equity Securities: Equity securities are comprised of mutual funds investing in U.S. and foreign stocks. These mutual funds are classified as Level 2.
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
Commingled Fixed Income Securities: Commingled fixed income securities are comprised of 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. Fair value is based on the 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 mutual funds 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.
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
Government and Related Securities: 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 are classified as Level 2 where fair value is determined using quoted market prices for similar securities or benchmarking model derived prices to quoted market prices and trade data for identical or comparable securities.
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
Corporate Debt Securities: Corporate debt securities are valued using recently executed comparable transactions, market price quotations or bond spreads 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 or external price/spread data. These securities are classified as Level 2.
|
Derivative Securities
|
|
|
|
•
|
Foreign Exchange Contracts: The valuation of foreign exchange derivatives is based on the market approach using observable market inputs, such as foreign currency spot and forward rates and yield curves. We have not seen a material change in the creditworthiness of those banks acting as derivative counterparties. These securities are classified as Level 2.
|
|
|

Available-For-Sale Securities
Available-for-sale securities are predominantly held at the Pitney Bowes Bank, whose primary business is to provide financing solutions to clients that rent postage meters and purchase supplies. Investment securities classified as available-for-sale are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value due to market conditions (i.e. interest rates) recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) and changes in fair value due to credit conditions recorded in earnings. Individual securities are considered impaired when the fair value declines below amortized cost. We use a discounted cash flow model to determine the amount of unrealized losses due to credit losses. Unrealized losses recorded during the period due to credit conditions were immaterial.
Available-for-sale securities consisted of the following:

Our allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale investment securities was not significant at June 30, 2020. At June 30, 2020, approximately 10% of total securities in the investment portfolio were in a net loss position. We believe our allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale investment securities is adequate as the majority of our investments are in short-term, highly liquid investments, high grade corporate securities and U.S. government securities. We have not recognized an impairment on investment securities in an unrealized loss position because we have the ability and intent to hold these securities until recovery of the unrealized losses or expect to receive the stated principal and interest at maturity.

The scheduled maturities of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may not coincide with the actual payment, as borrowers have the right to prepay obligations.
We have not experienced any significant 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.
Held-to-Maturity Securities
Held-to-maturity securities at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, include $257 million and $383 million, respectively, of short-term, highly liquid time deposits. Due to the short-term nature of these securities, the carrying value approximates fair value.
Derivative Instruments
In the normal course of business, we are exposed to the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. We mitigate these exposures by following established risk management policies and procedures, including the use of derivatives. We use derivative instruments to limit the effects of exchange rate fluctuations on financial results and manage the cost of debt. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. We record derivative instruments at fair value and the accounting for changes in the 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.
Foreign Exchange Contracts
We enter into foreign 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 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. No amount of ineffectiveness was recorded in earnings for these designated cash flow hedges. At both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had outstanding contracts associated with these anticipated transactions with notional amounts of $7 million. Amounts included in AOCI at June 30, 2020 will be recognized in earnings within the next 12 months.
Interest Rate Swaps
During the quarter, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $500 million that are designated as cash flow hedges. The fair value of the interest rate swaps is recorded as a derivative asset or liability at the end of each reporting period with the change in fair value reflected in AOCI.

We 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 intercompany loans and interest and the corresponding mark-to-market adjustment on derivatives are recorded in earnings. All outstanding contracts at June 30, 2020 mature within 12 months.

Interest rates on certain notes are subject to adjustment based on changes in our credit ratings. As a result of credit rating downgrades in November 2019 and May 2020, the interest rates on the October 2021 notes and April 2023 notes increased 0.50% and the interest rate on the May 2022 notes increased 0.75%. Further, the interest rates on the October 2021 notes and April 2023 notes will increase an additional 0.25% in the fourth quarter of 2020.
In February 2020, we secured a five-year $850 million term loan maturing January 2025 (the 2025 Term Loan). The 2025 Term Loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 5.5% and resets monthly. In May 2020, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $500 million to mitigate the interest rate risk associated with $500 million of our variable-rate term loans. Under the terms of the swap agreements, we pay fixed-rate interest of 0.4443% and receive variable-rate interest based on one-month LIBOR. The variable interest rate under the term loans and the swaps reset monthly.
In March 2020, we purchased under a tender offer $428 million of the October 2021 notes, $250 million of the May 2022 notes, $125 million of the April 2023 notes and $125 million of the March 2024 notes. A $37 million loss was incurred on the early redemption of debt.
During the first half of 2020, we repaid $21 million of principal related to our term loans.
We have a $500 million secured revolving credit facility that expires in November 2024 and contains financial and non-financial covenants. In April 2020, in light of the current macroeconomic environment, we drew down $100 million under the credit facility as a precautionary measure. This borrowing is considered short-term as the amount is due and interest resets monthly. At June 30, 2020, we were in compliance with all covenants.

13. Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was 101.8% and (3.3)%, respectively and includes a $12 million charge for the surrender of company owned life insurance policies (see Note 8). The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 also includes a benefit of $2 million on the $198 million goodwill impairment charge as the majority of this charge is nondeductible, a benefit of $2 million from the resolution of certain tax examinations and a charge of $3 million for the write-off of deferred tax assets associated with the expiration of out-of-money vested stock options and the vesting of restricted stock.
The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was 11.3% and 30.1%, respectively, and includes benefits from the resolution of certain tax examinations of $3 million and $6 million, respectively. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 also includes a $2 million tax on the $18 million book loss incurred from the disposition of operations in certain international markets, primarily due to nondeductible basis differences and a charge of $2 million for the write-off of deferred tax assets associated with the expiration of out-of-money vested stock options and the vesting of restricted stock.
As is the case with other large corporations, our tax returns are examined by tax authorities in the U.S. and other global taxing jurisdictions in which we have operations. As a result, it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will decrease in the next 12 months, and this decrease could be up to 10% of our unrecognized tax benefits.
The Internal Revenue Service examinations of our consolidated U.S. income tax returns for tax years prior to 2017 are closed to audit; however, various post-2011 U.S. state and local tax returns are still subject to examination. In Canada, the examination of our tax filings prior to 2015 are closed to audit. Other significant jurisdictions include France (closed through 2016), Germany (closed through 2016) and the U.K. (closed through 2017). We also have other less significant tax filings currently subject to examination.
14. 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, customers or others. In management's opinion, the potential liability, if any, that may result from these actions, either individually or collectively, is not reasonably expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows as of June 30, 2020. However, as litigation is inherently unpredictable, there can be no assurances in this regard.
In December 2018 and then in February 2019, certain of the Company’s officers and directors were named as defendants in two virtually identical derivative actions purportedly brought on behalf of the Company, Clem v. Lautenbach et al. and Devolin v. Lautenbach et al. These two actions, both filed by the same counsel in Connecticut state court, allege, among other things, breaches of fiduciary duty relating to these same disclosures, and seek compensatory damages and other relief derivatively for the benefit of the Company. Both of these are derivative claims related to a prior action filed in Connecticut state court, City of Livonia Retiree Health and Disability Benefits Plan v. Pitney Bowes Inc. et al. (“Livonia”). On October 24, 2019, the court had granted the defendants’ motions to dismiss the Livonia case, and that judgment is now final. Given that the defendants prevailed in the Livonia action, the plaintiffs in the Clem and Devolin actions moved to withdraw their complaints, and on February 20, 2020 the court granted the motions. Both cases have now been dismissed.
We have entered into three equipment leases for our Commerce Services operations that will commence in the fourth quarter with terms ranging from seven to nine years. Aggregate lease payments for the three leases will approximate $30 million.

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) contains statements that are forward-looking. We want to caution readers that any forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 (Securities Act) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) may change based on various factors. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results could differ materially. Words such as "estimate," "target," "project," "plan," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend" and similar expressions may identify such forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q speak only as of the date hereof, and forward-looking statements in documents attached that are incorporated by reference speak only as of the date of those documents.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in any of our forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from those projected or assumed in any of our forward-looking statements. Our future financial condition and results of operations, as well as any forward-looking statements, are subject to change and to inherent risks and uncertainties, such as those disclosed or incorporated by reference in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In particular, the uncertainty around the severity, magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic (COVID-19), including governments' responses to COVID-19, its continuing impact on our operations, employees, the availability and cost of labor, global supply chain and demand across our and our clients' businesses, as well as any deterioration or instability in global macroeconomic conditions, could cause our actual results to differ than those expressed in any forward-looking statement. Other factors which could cause future financial performance to differ materially from the expectations, and which may also be exacerbated by COVID-19 or a negative change in the economy, include, without limitation:
|
|
|
|
•
|
declining physical mail volumes
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
changes in postal regulations, or the financial health of posts, in the U.S. or other major markets or the loss of, or significant changes to, our contractual relationship with the United States Postal Service (USPS)
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
expenses and potential impacts resulting from a breach of security, including cyber-attacks or other comparable events
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
our ability to continue to grow volumes, gain additional economies of scale and improve profitability within our Commerce Services group
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
the loss of some of our larger clients in our Commerce Services group
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
our success at managing customer credit risk
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
third-party suppliers' ability to provide products and services required by our clients
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
changes in labor conditions and transportation costs
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
capital market disruptions or credit rating downgrades that adversely impact our ability to access capital markets at reasonable costs
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
our success in developing and marketing new products and services and obtaining regulatory approvals, if required
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
competitive factors, including pricing pressures, technological developments and the introduction of new products and services by competitors
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
the continued availability and security of key information technology systems and the cost to comply with information security requirements and privacy laws
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
changes in global political conditions and international trade policies, including the imposition or expansion of trade tariffs
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
our success at managing relationships and costs with outsource providers of certain functions and operations
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
changes in banking regulations or the loss of our Industrial Bank charter or changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
the United Kingdom's exit from the European Union
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
intellectual property infringement claims
|
|
|
|
|
•
|
the use of the postal system for transmitting harmful biological agents, illegal substances or other terrorist attacks
|
Further information about factors that could materially affect us, including our results of operations and financial condition, is contained in Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our 2019 Annual Report, as supplemented by Part II, Item 1A in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Revenue increased 6% as reported and 7% at constant currency for the quarter compared to the prior year. Business services revenue increased 27% driven by significantly higher volumes in our Global Ecommerce business, which more than offset double digit declines in equipment sales, supplies and support services driven in part by the continuing impacts of COVID-19. In our business segments, Global Ecommerce revenue grew 41% due to increased volumes, Presort Services revenue declined 8% due to lower First Class and Marketing Mail volumes and SendTech Solutions revenue declined 15%, primarily due to lower equipment sales and supplies revenue. Segment EBIT decreased 21%, primarily due to lower revenue in SendTech Solutions, higher credit losses in Global Ecommerce and increased costs attributed to COVID-19.
Revenue increased 3% for the first half of 2020 compared to the prior year. Business services revenue increased 18% due to higher Global Ecommerce volumes but was partially offset by declines in other revenue line items. In our business segments, Global Ecommerce revenue grew 26% due to increased volumes, Presort Services revenue declined 2% and SendTech Solutions revenue declined 11%. Segment EBIT decreased 23%, primarily due to lower revenue in SendTech Solutions, higher credit losses and the mix of business in Global Ecommerce and increased costs attributed to COVID-19. Refer to Results of Operations section for further information.
Commerce Services EBIT margins in the quarter and year-to-date periods were adversely impacted by increased labor and postal costs at Global Ecommerce due to the sudden and significant increase in volumes, higher credit losses at Global Ecommerce, lower volumes at Presort Services and increased costs and reduced productivity driven by COVID-19. However, the Global Ecommerce EBIT margin
in the second quarter was improved from the first quarter 2020 and prior year period reflecting scale-related benefits in per unit transportation and warehousing costs. SendTech Solutions EBIT margins in the quarter and year-to-date periods were relatively unchanged compared to the prior year periods despite double-digit declines in revenue, primarily due to lower operating expenses from cost savings initiatives.
Second Quarter Highlights
We drew down $100 million under our revolving credit facility as a precautionary measure and invested these proceeds in highly liquid, short-term investments.
We surrendered certain company owned life insurance (COLI) policies and sold our interest in an equity investment for aggregate proceeds of $58 million. We recognized a gain of $12 million on the sale of the equity investment and while the surrender of the COLI policies did not result in a pre-tax gain or loss, the surrender resulted in a $12 million tax charge.
We also received insurance proceeds of $5 million related to the October 2019 malware attack that temporarily disrupted customer access to some services.
In May 2020, we were affected by a Maze ransomware attack. Although the Maze attackers were able to exfiltrate a small amount of our confidential data, working with our third-party security consultants, we were able to successfully thwart the attack before any of our operations could be disrupted or any data encrypted. The attempted attack did not have any impact on our financial results, and we satisfied all regulatory obligations arising out of the attack.
Impacts of COVID-19
The global spread of COVID-19 and the efforts to contain it adversely affected the U.S. and international economies, impacting demand for a broad variety of goods and services, creating disruptions and shortages in global supply chains and causing significant volatility in financial markets. Our employees worldwide that have the ability to work remotely are doing so. Our facilities continue to operate, and many employees continue to report to work at these facilities. We have implemented additional measures to protect the health and safety of our employees and contractors, including staggering shifts and breaks to enhance social distancing, providing personal protection equipment, conducting temperature checks and sanitizing equipment and facilities multiple times a day.
COVID-19 has impacted our financial results in different ways in each of our businesses. In Global Ecommerce, we saw significantly higher volumes in the quarter due to the demand for ecommerce solutions in the current environment. In Presort Services, First Class and Marketing Mail volumes have declined due to lower market demand and changing client behaviors in the current environment. As a result of the additional health and safety measures implemented in all our Commerce Services facilities, we have incurred, and will continue to incur, additional costs and reduced productivity.
In SendTech Solutions, the global shut-down of businesses and increase in the number of clients working remotely significantly adversely impacted demand for and usage of our mailing equipment and supplies, as well as our ability to contact and service clients and perform on-site installations. Despite the negative impacts of COVID-19, we saw improving trends in equipment sales and supplies revenues as we exited the quarter. Also, as businesses continue to operate remotely, we are seeing improvement in our cloud-enabled shipping and mailing solutions.
In March 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act was passed into law in response to market volatility and instability resulting from COVID-19. The CARES Act includes provisions relating to the deferment of the employer portion of certain payroll taxes, net operating loss carryback periods and modifications to the net interest deduction limitations. We continue to assess the impact of these provisions; which we believe could affect the timing of certain cash payments but not materially impact our financial position or results of operations.
Outlook
The severity, duration and governmental responses of COVID-19 are uncertain, and we are not able to reasonably estimate the full extent of the impact on our operating results, liquidity, cash flows or financial position for the remainder of the year. As COVID-19 continues to affect global economies and how businesses operate, we will continue to take proactive measures to protect the health and safety of our employees, clients, partners and suppliers. These additional safety measures will result in additional expenses and reduced productivity. Corporate and local management will continue to assess conditions to determine when, or how, employees currently working remotely should return to office locations.
Our Commerce Services businesses are more demand-driven and it is difficult to predict how demand and volumes will trend and the impact to productivity throughout the duration of COVID-19. Within Global Ecommerce, domestic parcel delivery volumes have increased significantly due to a global market shift to ecommerce solutions. While we cannot predict the magnitude of volume increases, we expect
this shift to continue throughout the remainder of the year. We signed on over 100 new clients in the second quarter and volumes from these clients will benefit the second half of the year. Cross-border volumes are still experiencing declines and we expect this to continue as long as there are restrictions on international shipments. The sudden and significant increase in volumes resulted in higher labor and postal costs in the second quarter as we needed to react quickly to process and deliver these parcels. However, the higher volumes resulted in scale-related benefits in per unit transportation and warehousing costs. We expect continued improvements in per unit transportation and warehousing costs as volumes increase and improvements in per unit labor costs as the business sizes itself to handle the higher volumes.
In Presort Services, approximately 80% of mail volumes processed are First Class Mail with the remaining 20% primarily Marketing Mail. There were declines in mail volumes from the onset of COVID-19; however, these volume declines started to moderate as we exited the second quarter. For the remainder of the year, we expect volumes of First Class Mail and Marketing Mail to be lower compared to the prior year. As businesses begin to re-open and clients return to their normal behaviors, we expect volumes to improve from current levels; however, the timing and magnitude of this improvement would be contingent on the severity and duration of COVID-19. While currently a small part of total volumes, volumes in Marketing Mail Flats and Bound Printed Matter grew over 30% in the second quarter and we anticipate these volumes will continue to grow throughout the remainder of the year.
Within SendTech Solutions, approximately two-thirds of revenue is recurring in nature and materially contributes to our cash flows. Nonrecurring revenues, primarily equipment sales and to a lesser extent, supplies, will continue to be adversely impacted by COVID-19 due to declining demand and usage. We are unable to predict the duration and magnitude of these declines or determine when, or if, demand and usage will return to normal levels; however, we would expect to see improving trends as more businesses start to re-open. As a result of clients working remotely and the necessity of alternate solutions, we saw an improvement in our cloud-enabled shipping and mailing solutions during the second quarter and expect this shift in market preference to continue as clients realize the value of our digital capabilities. We continue to monitor cash collections from our recurring revenue streams. There was an increase in delinquency rates during the second quarter that was in-line with our expectations, but we are starting to see an improvement in delinquency rates and positive changes in customer payment behaviors. There are no assurances that this improvement in delinquency rates and payment behaviors will continue, or that the impacts of COVID-19 will not result in higher client bankruptcies or account write-offs.
Before the onset of COVID-19 and the resulting economic decline, we had taken steps to reduce and refinance debt, improve liquidity and strengthen our balance sheet that we believe will enable us to manage through the current economic downturn. We are taking further actions to manage cash flows and maintain liquidity, including, but not limited to, prioritizing our capital expenditures to essential and necessary investments and reducing targeted loan originations at Wheeler Financial. We estimate that these actions alone will benefit annual cash flows by approximately $75 million. Refer to the Liquidity and Capital Resources section for further information.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
In our Results of Operations discussion, we present and discuss revenue and cost of revenue at the segment level since our revenue and related costs of revenue sources are predominantly specific to the segments. Operating and other expenses are presented and discussed on a consolidated basis as this basis provides a better understanding of the underlying drivers of change in these expense line items or they are not allocated to a specific segment.
In our revenue discussion, we may refer to revenue growth on a constant currency basis. Constant currency measures exclude the impact of changes in currency exchange rates since the prior period under comparison. We believe that excluding the impacts of currency exchange rates provides a better understanding of the underlying revenue performance. Constant currency change is calculated by converting the current period non-U.S. dollar denominated revenue using the prior year’s exchange rate. Where constant currency measures are not provided, the actual change and constant currency change are the same.
Management measures segment profitability and performance using segment earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT). Segment EBIT is calculated by deducting from segment revenue the related costs and expenses attributable to the segment. Segment EBIT excludes interest, taxes, general corporate expenses, restructuring charges, asset impairment charges, goodwill impairment charges and other items not allocated to a particular business segment. Management believes that it provides investors a useful measure of operating performance and underlying trends of the business. Segment EBIT may not be indicative of our overall consolidated performance and therefore, should be read in conjunction with our consolidated results of operations.

Global Ecommerce revenue increased 41% in the second quarter of 2020 due to significant growth in domestic parcel delivery volumes driven in part, by the market shift to ecommerce solutions as a result of COVID-19, and higher digital domestic and fulfillment services volumes. This volume growth contributed revenue growth of 47%, while a decline in domestic returns and cross-border volumes contributed a 6% decline in revenue.
Gross margin decreased to 10.7% from 15.4% in the prior year primarily due to higher labor, postage and other incremental costs driven by COVID-19.
Segment EBIT for the second quarter of 2020 was a loss of $19 million compared to a loss of $16 million in the prior year period. The increased loss was primarily driven by incremental costs associated with COVID-19 including higher credit loss expense of $6 million, higher labor and postal costs of $3 million due to the rapid increase in volumes and incremental costs of $1 million related to sanitizing and safety measures. Segment EBIT margin of (4.7)% improved from the prior year period reflecting scale-related benefits in transportation and warehouse costs offset by increased labor and postal costs driven by COVID-19.

Global Ecommerce revenue increased 26% in the first half of 2020 with higher domestic parcel delivery volumes driven in part, by the market shift to ecommerce solutions as a result of COVID-19, and higher digital domestic and fulfillment services volumes contributing revenue growth of 30%, partially offset by domestic returns volumes contributing a revenue decline of 4%.
Gross margin decreased to 10.1% from 15.9% in the prior year primarily due to a shift in the mix of business and incremental costs driven by COVID-19.
Segment EBIT for the first half of 2020 was a loss of $48 million compared to a loss of $30 million in the prior year period. The increased loss was primarily driven by higher credit loss expense of $8 million, higher labor and postal costs, incremental costs related to sanitizing and safety measures, the shift in the mix of business and incremental costs associated with new facilities that opened during the fourth quarter of 2019.

Presort Services revenue decreased 8% in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the prior year period due to a reduction in volumes. Volumes decreased in the second quarter compared to the prior year primarily due to lower Marketing Mail and First Class Mail, driven by COVID-19, partially offset by higher volumes of Marketing Mail Flats and Bound Printed Matter. Revenue declined 11% due to lower organic volumes but benefited 3% from acquisitions.
Gross margin decreased to 20.8% from 24.3% and segment EBIT declined 19% in the second quarter of 2020. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to the decline in revenue and increased costs associated with COVID-19, including $2 million for sanitizing and safety measures and quarantine payments. The increased costs were partially offset by improvements in transportation due to ongoing productivity initiatives. Segment EBIT includes $3 million from insurance proceeds related to the malware attack in late 2019. Segment EBIT margin of 10.7% was down 1 percentage point from the prior year period largely driven by reduced volumes and increased labor costs driven by COVID-19.

Presort Services revenue decreased 2% in the first half of 2020 compared to the prior year period due to lower volumes of Marketing Mail and First Class Mail, driven by COVID-19. Revenue declined 5% due to lower organic volumes but benefited 3% from acquisitions.
Gross margin decreased to 23.2% from 24.3% and segment EBIT declined $2 million, or 7%, in the first half of 2020. Gross margins were adversely impacted by lower revenue and the incremental costs associated with COVID-19. The decline in segment EBIT was driven by lower revenue and a $2 million charge for losses on certain investment securities driven by market conditions, partially offset by $3 million of insurance proceeds related to the malware attack in late 2019.

SendTech Solutions revenue decreased 15% in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the prior year. Equipment sales and supplies decreased 32% and 29% at constant currency, respectively, as the impacts of COVID-19 impacted our ability to contact and service clients and perform on-site installations and reduced usage and demand for supplies. Support services revenue decreased 10% at constant currency driven by a declining meter population and financing revenue decreased 7% at constant currency primarily driven by a declining lease portfolio. Business services revenue increased $5 million, or 68% at constant currency, primarily due to an overall increase in our shipping offerings.
The total gross margin decreased 1 percentage point compared to the prior year. Business services gross margin decreased to 60.9% from 76.0% primarily driven by an increase in sales of lower margin solutions. Equipment sales gross margin decreased 14 percentage points
to 17.2%, primarily due to lower revenue and the mix of product sales due to delays in scheduling and performing on-site installations of our higher end products. Rentals gross margin increased to 67.7% from 54.4% primarily due to lower scrap costs.
We allocate a portion of our total cost of borrowing to financing interest expense. In computing financing interest expense, we assume an 8:1 debt to equity leverage ratio and apply our overall effective interest rate to the average outstanding finance receivables. The financing gross margin decreased to 86.0% from 88.1% compared to the prior year primarily due to a higher effective interest rate.
Segment EBIT decreased 16% in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the prior year, driven by the decline in revenue partially offset by lower expenses of $15 million from cost savings initiatives, including professional fees of $3 million, marketing and advertising costs of $3 million, travel related expenses of $2 million and research and development costs of $4 million. Segment EBIT margin of 32.5% was flat compared to the prior year period as lower costs offset the decline in revenue.

SendTech Solutions revenue decreased 11% in the first half of 2020 compared to the prior year. Equipment sales and supplies decreased 23% and 19% at constant currency, respectively, as the impacts of COVID-19 impacted our ability to contact and service clients and perform on-site installations and reduced usage and demand for supplies. Financing revenue decreased 7% at constant currency, primarily driven by a declining lease portfolio. Support services and rentals revenue decreased 8% and 7% at constant currency, respectively, primarily driven by a declining meter population. Business services revenue increased $11 million, or 86% at constant currency, primarily due to an increase in our shipping offerings, including the SendPro Online product.
The total gross margin remained relatively flat compared to the prior year. Business services gross margin decreased to 61.9% from 69.2%, primarily driven by higher sales of lower margin solutions. Equipment sales gross margin decreased 9 percentage points to 21.5%, primarily due to lower revenue and the mix of product sales. Equipment sales margin in the prior year period was impacted by a $9 million charge related to a SendPro C tablet replacement program. Rentals gross margin increased to 66.9% from 55.3%, primarily due to lower scrap costs in the current year and a $2 million favorable inventory provision adjustment. Financing gross margin decreased to 86.0% from 88.2% compared to the prior year primarily due to a higher effective interest rate.
Segment EBIT decreased 15% in first half of 2020 compared to the prior year, primarily due to the decline in revenue and higher credit loss provision of $10 million due to the current economic recessionary conditions and outlook caused by COVID-19, partially offset by lower expenses of $33 million from cost savings initiatives, including lower professional fees of $8 million, lower research and development costs of $6 million and lower marketing expenses of $5 million.
CONSOLIDATED OPERATING AND OTHER EXPENSES
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A)
SG&A expense of $234 million in the quarter decreased 3% compared to the prior period, primarily due to lower travel related expenses of $7 million as we imposed travel restrictions in response to COVID-19, lower professional fees of $5 million due to contract renegotiations and lower marketing expenses of $3 million, partially offset by higher credit loss provision of $8 million. SG&A expense of $482 million in the first half of 2020 decreased 4% compared to the prior period, primarily due to lower professional fees of $15 million, lower employee costs of $8 million and lower travel related expenses of $7 million, partially offset by higher credit loss provision of $13 million.
Research and development (R&D)
R&D expense decreased 45%, or $6 million, in the second quarter of 2020 and decreased 25%, or $7 million, in the first half of 2020 primarily due to lower project spending.
Restructuring charges and asset impairments
Restructuring charges and asset impairments for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were $5 million and $6 million, respectively, and restructuring charges and asset impairments for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were $9 million and $10 million, respectively. See Note 10 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Goodwill impairment
We recorded a non-cash, pre-tax goodwill impairment charge of $198 million associated with our Global Ecommerce reporting unit in the first quarter of 2020. See Critical Accounting Estimates for further information.
Other (income) expense
Other (income) expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020 includes a $12 million gain on the sale of an equity investment and insurance proceeds of $5 million related to the 2019 malware attack. Other (income) expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 includes a $37 million loss on the early extinguishment of debt, partially offset by the $12 million gain on the sale of an equity investment and $9 million of insurance proceeds related to the 2019 malware attack. Other (income) expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019 includes a loss of $18 million, primarily from the write-off of cumulative translation adjustments, in connection with the disposition of operations in certain international markets.
Income taxes
Provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 includes a tax charge of $12 million in connection with the surrender of company owned life insurance policies for which no pre-tax income or loss was recognized. The provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2020 also includes a benefit of $2 million on the $198 million goodwill impairment charge as most of this charge is nondeductible. See Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Discontinued Operations
Loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2020 primarily includes a pension settlement charge related to the Software Solutions sale. Income from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily includes the gain on the sale of the Australia software business, which closed in January 2020, and the pension settlement charge related to the Software Solutions sale. See Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At June 30, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $1 billion, of which $182 million was held by our foreign subsidiaries. Cash held by our foreign subsidiaries is generally used to support the liquidity needs of those subsidiaries. Our ability to maintain adequate liquidity for our operations is dependent upon a number of factors, including our revenue and earnings, our clients ability to pay their balances on a timely basis, the length and severity of COVID-19 and its impact on macroeconomic conditions and our ability to take further cost-savings and cash conservation measures if necessary. At this time, we believe that existing cash and investments, cash generated from operations and borrowing capacity under our $500 million revolving credit facility will be sufficient to fund our cash needs for the next 12 months. 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.

Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities of $87 million in the first half of 2020 was flat compared to the prior year. Cash flows from continuing operations increased $44 million, primarily due to working capital changes including the timing of payments of accounts payable. Cash flows from discontinued operations declined due to taxes related to the gain on the sale of our Software Solutions business.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities in the first half of 2020 of $55 million includes $65 million of net investment activity and $60 million in capital expenditures, partially offset by $46 million in proceeds from the surrender of COLI policies, higher customer deposits at the PB Bank of $22 million and proceeds of $12 million from the sale of an equity investment. Cash used in investing activities in the first half of 2019 was $36 million, consisting primarily of capital expenditures of $59 million and lower customer deposits at the PB Bank of $8 million, partially offset by net proceeds of $47 million from investment activities.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities in the first half of 2020 was $85 million, and includes payments of $33 million for premiums and fees associated with the early extinguishment of debt, net cash of $32 million used for debt activities, including $21 million of scheduled term loan repayments and $17 million of dividend payments. See Financings and Capitalization below for additional information. In the first half of 2019, cash used in financing activities included $100 million to repurchase 17.4 million shares of common stock, $25 million to repay term loan debt and $18 million of dividend payments.
Financings and Capitalization
In the first quarter of 2020, we secured a five-year, $850 million term loan scheduled to mature January 2025 (the 2025 Term Loan). The 2025 Term Loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 5.5% and resets monthly. We used the net proceeds plus available cash to purchase under a tender offer $428 million of the October 2021 notes, $250 million of the May 2022 notes, $125 million of the April 2023 notes and $125 million of the March 2024 notes. We incurred a loss of a $37 million on the early redemption of debt.
We have a $500 million secured revolving credit facility that expires in November 2024 and contains financial and non-financial covenants. In April 2020, in light of the current macroeconomic environment, we drew down $100 million under the credit facility as a precautionary measure. At June 30, 2020, we were in compliance with all covenants.
Interest rates on certain notes are subject to adjustment based on changes in our credit ratings. As a result of credit rating downgrades in November 2019 and May 2020, the interest rates on the October 2021 notes and April 2023 notes increased 0.50% and the interest rate on the May 2022 notes increased 0.75%. Further, the interest rates on the October 2021 notes and April 2023 notes will increase an additional 0.25% in the fourth quarter of 2020.
Dividends and Share Repurchases
Each quarter, our Board of Directors considers 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. We expect to continue to pay a quarterly dividend, however; in light of COVID-19 and the current macroeconomic conditions, no assurances can be given.
We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock during the first half of 2020. We have remaining authorization to repurchase up to $16 million of our common stock.
Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have entered into three equipment leases for our Commerce Services operations that will commence in the fourth quarter with terms ranging from seven to nine years. Aggregate lease payments for the three leases will approximate $30 million.
At June 30, 2020, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Goodwill impairment review
During the first quarter of 2020, our Global Ecommerce reporting unit experienced weaker than expected performance, in part due to the macroeconomic conditions resulting from COVID-19. At December 31, 2019, the fair value of our Global Ecommerce business exceeded its carrying value by less than 20% and the deteriorating macroeconomic conditions and uncertainty brought on by COVID-19 caused us to evaluate the Global Ecommerce goodwill for impairment.
To test the Global Ecommerce goodwill for impairment, we determined the fair value of the Global Ecommerce reporting unit and compared it to the reporting unit's carrying value, including goodwill. We engaged a third-party to assist in the determination of the fair value of the reporting unit. The determination of fair value, and the resulting impairment charge, relied on internal projections developed using numerous estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties. These estimates and assumptions included revenue growth, profitability, cash flows, capital spending and other available information. The determination of fair value also incorporated a risk-adjusted discount rate, terminal growth rates and 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 and could result in an additional impairment charge to be recorded in the future. These estimates and assumptions are considered Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy.
We determined that the reporting unit's estimated fair value was less than its carrying value and recorded a non-cash, pre-tax goodwill impairment charge of $198 million in the first quarter to reduce the carrying value of the Global Ecommerce reporting unit to its estimated fair value.
Regulatory Matters
There have been no significant changes to the regulatory matters disclosed in our 2019 Annual Report.
