Pitney Bowes Reports Slightly Lower 2010 Revenue but Remains Positive on Future
Commenting on the quarter and the year, Chairman, President and CEO Murray D. Martin noted, “Our quarterly and full year’s results reflect progress against several key milestones toward growth. Equipment sales improved for the second consecutive quarter on a consolidated basis and in our global mailing operations. Growth was enhanced by placement of new products, in particular, our Connect+ web-based communications system. We again had solid growth in software revenue even as we build more recurring streams through multi-year licensing agreements. Importantly, as we anticipated, relative comparisons in our recurring revenue streams of supplies, rentals and financing are improving. We continue to execute on our Strategic Transformation program and we reaped even greater benefits than expected. In addition to the cost savings, we have enhanced the way we interact with our customers and streamlined our processes to develop new products more quickly and efficiently. The program is reducing our fixed cost structure so we will be more profitable and flexible as we grow the business.”
