Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Description of Business and Basis of Presentation | Description of Business and Basis of Presentation Pitney Bowes Inc. (we, us, our, or the company), was incorporated in the state of Delaware in 1920. We are a global technology company offering innovative products and solutions that help our clients navigate the complex world of commerce. We provide innovative products and solutions for mailing, shipping and cross border ecommerce that enable the sending of packages globally and products and solutions for customer information management, location intelligence and customer engagement to help our clients market to their customers. Clients around the world rely on our products, solutions and services. For more information about us, our products, services and solutions, visit www.pb.com . 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, 2017 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, 2018 . 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, 2017 (2017 Annual Report). During the third quarter of 2018, we completed the sale of our Document Messaging Technologies production mail business and supporting software (collectively, the Production Mail Business). Accordingly, the Production Mail Business is now reported as a discontinued operation in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Prior periods have been recast to conform to the current period presentation. See Note 4 for further details. Accounting Pronouncements Adopted on January 1, 2018 We adopted Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606), which requires companies to recognize revenue when or as control of a promised good or service is transferred to a client in amounts that reflect consideration the company expects to receive in exchange for those goods and services. See Note 2 for more information on the adoption of ASC 606. We adopted ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes: Intra-entity Transfers of Assets other than Inventory, which requires tax expense to be recognized from the sale of intra-entity assets, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs, even though the effects of the transaction are eliminated in consolidation. Under prior guidance, the tax effects of transfers were deferred until the transferred asset was sold or otherwise recovered through use. We recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying this standard as a net reduction of $3 million to opening retained earnings. We adopted ASU 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Benefit Cost. The ASU requires that the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost be presented in the same income statement line item as other employee compensation costs, while other components of net periodic benefit cost be presented in a separate line item in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Prior period information has been recast to conform to the current period presentation. We adopted ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities . This standard primarily affects the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. There was no impact on our consolidated financial statements. We early adopted ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The ASU changes the recognition and presentation requirements as well as the cost and complexity of applying hedge accounting by easing the requirements for effectiveness testing and hedge documentation. There was no impact on our consolidated financial statements. We adopted ASU 2017-09, Scope of Modification Accounting . The ASU provides guidance about which changes to terms and conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. There was no impact on our consolidated financial statements. We adopted ASU 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities in evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as an acquisition or disposal of assets or a business. There was no impact on our consolidated financial statements. New Accounting Pronouncements - Not Yet Adopted In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software . The ASU aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The standard is effective beginning January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans-General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. The ASU impacts disclosure requirements only. The standard is effective beginning January 1, 2021, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) . The ASU modifies certain disclosure requirements of fair value measurements. The standard is effective beginning January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) . The ASU permits a reclassification of the disproportionate income tax effects of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Act) on items within AOCI to retained earnings and requires certain new disclosures. The standard is effective beginning January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We anticipate that the reclassification of the disproportionate income tax effects of the Act from AOCI to retained earnings could be material; however there will be no impact to total Stockholder's equity. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities . The ASU requires that the premium of certain callable debt securities be amortized to the earliest call date rather than the scheduled maturity date. The standard is effective beginning January 1, 2019 and will be applied on a modified retrospective basis with a cumulative effect adjustment as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Early adoption is permitted. We currently do not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses . The ASU sets forth a “current expected credit loss” (CECL) model, which requires companies to measure expected credit losses for all financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonably supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. This standard is effective beginning January 1, 2020. We are currently assessing the impact this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases . This standard, among other things, requires lessees to recognize almost all leases on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. Additionally, the standard requires enhanced qualitative and quantitative disclosures to help readers assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. From a lessor perspective, the standard simplifies the accounting for lease modifications and aligns accounting of lease contracts with the new revenue recognition guidance. This standard is effective beginning January 1, 2019. We will adopt the standard using a modified retrospective approach and recognize and measure leases in the period of adoption. We plan to utilize a package of optional practical expedients that allows companies to maintain prior accounting conclusions regarding whether a contract contains a lease, lease classification and initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. Prior periods will not be restated. With regard to our lessor portfolio, we expect changes in the timing and classification of revenue and associated costs related to contract modifications, as well as conclusions on lease and non-lease components. We are still determining the impact of these changes on our consolidated financial statements; however, the changes could materially impact the timing of revenue and expense recognition over the lease term. We do not expect the economics and overall profitability of our lease offerings to be materially impacted. From the lessee perspective, we are reviewing our lease portfolio to evaluate the impact on our consolidated financial statements, accounting policies and internal controls; however, we expect that recognizing a right-of-use asset and liability will materially impact our balance sheet. We are implementing a new lease accounting software solution that will determine the right-of-use asset and lease liability related to our operating lease portfolio as well as meet the disclosure requirements. |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenue from Contracts with Customers | Revenue from Contracts with Customers Adoption of ASC 606 We adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606) using the modified retrospective approach. Prior period information was not restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. We recognized a cumulative effect adjustment from the adoption of this standard that reduced opening retained earnings by $9 million . Significant components of the cumulative effect adjustment include: • The write-off of previously capitalized deferred marketing costs that did not meet the criteria for capitalization under ASC 606. • The capitalization of certain costs to obtain a contract, primarily sales commissions, that are permitted to be capitalized under ASC 606. • The establishment of deferred revenue related to the early renewal of software and data license contracts with terms beginning in 2018, as ASC 606 requires revenue recognition at the commencement of the license term. • The write-off of deferred revenues and related costs for certain software licenses bundled with a lease that are recognized at time of delivery under ASC 606. • The write-off of advance billings related to certain software data products that are recognized upon delivery under ASC 606. The impact on our consolidated financial statements as if they were presented under the prior guidance is as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, 2018 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 As reported Prior guidance Increase (decrease) As reported Prior guidance Increase (decrease) Income Statement Total revenue $ 832,856 $ 828,999 $ 3,857 $ 2,575,240 $ 2,553,059 $ 22,181 Equipment sales $ 100,937 $ 101,632 $ (695 ) $ 317,058 $ 319,165 $ (2,107 ) Software $ 76,026 $ 71,081 $ 4,945 $ 244,022 $ 218,410 $ 25,612 Business services $ 363,528 $ 363,921 $ (393 ) $ 1,117,942 $ 1,119,266 $ (1,324 ) Total costs and expenses $ 787,727 $ 790,565 $ (2,838 ) $ 2,415,358 $ 2,420,406 $ (5,048 ) Cost of equipment sales $ 39,353 $ 39,409 $ (56 ) $ 132,513 $ 132,628 $ (115 ) Cost of software $ 24,743 $ 23,957 $ 786 $ 75,257 $ 72,499 $ 2,758 Selling, general and administrative $ 269,387 $ 272,955 $ (3,568 ) $ 847,281 $ 854,972 $ (7,691 ) Income from continuing operations before taxes $ 45,129 $ 38,434 $ 6,695 $ 159,882 $ 132,653 $ 27,229 (Benefit) provision for income taxes $ (1,976 ) $ (3,768 ) $ 1,792 $ 20,745 $ 13,666 $ 7,079 Net income from continuing operations $ 47,105 $ 42,202 $ 4,903 $ 139,137 $ 118,987 $ 20,150 Basic earnings - continuing operations $ 0.25 $ 0.22 $ 0.03 $ 0.74 $ 0.63 $ 0.11 Diluted earnings per share - continuing operations $ 0.25 $ 0.22 $ 0.03 $ 0.74 $ 0.63 $ 0.11 The most significant change to the Consolidated Statements of Income under ASC 606 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , was higher software revenue of $5 million and $26 million , respectively, and higher net income from continuing operations before taxes of $4 million and $23 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , respectively.

Cash Flow Statement The adoption of ASC 606 had no impact on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Significant Accounting Policies The most significant impact of ASC 606 on our consolidated financial statements will be in the timing of recognizing certain revenues and costs to obtain a contract related to software and software related products. We will continue to recognize revenue from equipment sales under sales-type leases and related financing income and rental of postage meters and mailing equipment in accordance with ASC 840, Leases. We applied the following practical expedients and policy elections when adopting ASC 606: • Costs incurred to obtain a contract with a customer are expensed if the amortization period is one year or less. • With the exception of certain services contracts, all taxes assessed by government authorities, such as sales and use taxes, value added taxes and excise taxes, are excluded from the transaction price. • The transaction price is not adjusted for a significant financing component when a performance obligation is satisfied within one year. • Revenue is recognized based on the amount billable to the customer when that amount corresponds to the value transferred to the customer. • Shipping and handling activities are accounted for as a fulfillment activity rather than a separate performance obligation. • We reflected the aggregate effect of all modifications when identifying performance obligations and allocating transaction price. Significant changes to accounting policies disclosed in our 2017 Annual Report due to the adoption of ASC 606 are discussed below. Software Sales and Integration Services A majority of our software and data license products are considered "right to use" and are generally distinct from other promised goods and services within a contract. Revenue for right to use software and data licenses is recognized at a point in time when control has transferred to the customer, which is generally upon delivery or acceptance for those licenses requiring significant integration or customization. Revenue from renewals are recognized at the beginning of the license term. We generally invoice customers upon delivery of our software and data licenses. Data contracts that include both data and data updates are invoiced in one or more equal installments. A contract asset is recognized on data licenses for which consideration will be received in future periods. We allocate the transaction price based on relative standalone selling prices, which are generally based on observable selling prices in standalone transactions for our data products, maintenance and professional services. We estimate the standalone selling prices for our software licenses using the residual approach, as the selling prices are highly variable and when observable standalone selling prices exist for the other goods and services in the contract. We often bundle software licenses with lease contracts. Revenue is recognized upon delivery of those software licenses considered distinct and functional in nature. Costs to Obtain a Contract and Marketing Costs Certain incremental costs to obtain a contract are capitalized if we expect the benefit of those costs to be realized over a period greater than one year. These costs primarily relate to sales commission on multi-year equipment and software support service contracts. These costs are amortized in a manner consistent with the timing of the related revenue over the contract performance period or longer, if renewals are expected and the renewal commission is not commensurate with the initial commission. Amortization expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $4 million and $ 11 million , respectively, and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Unamortized contract costs at September 30, 2018 were $ 28 million and are included in other assets. Certain marketing costs associated with the acquisition of new customers are expensed as incurred since these costs do not meet the criteria of a cost to obtain a contract.

We recognize revenue upon delivery for self-install equipment and supplies and upon acceptance or installation for other equipment. We provide a warranty that our equipment is free of defects and meets stated specifications. The warranty is not considered a separate performance obligation. Software: We sell software licenses, maintenance, data products and professional services. Revenue for licenses is generally recognized upon delivery or over time for those licenses that require critical updates over the term of the contract. Rentals: We charge our customers fees associated with postage refills for meters. Financing: We provide services under our equipment replacement program. The fees received for this program are recognized ratably over the contract term . Support Services: We provide maintenance and professional services for our North America and International mailing equipment. Contract terms range from one year to five years, depending on the term of the lease contract for the related equipment. Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period and revenue for professional services is recognized when services are provided. Business Services: We provide mail processing services and ecommerce solutions. Revenue is recognized over time as the services are provided. The contract terms for these services vary, with the initial contracts ranging from one to five years followed by annual renewal periods. Revenue from leasing transactions and financing include revenue from sales-type leases, operating leases, finance income and late fees that are not accounted for under ASC 606. Contract Assets and Advance Billings from Contracts with Customers September 30, 2018 January 1, 2018 (1) Increase (decrease) Contracts assets, current $ 8,472 $ 5,075 $ 3,397 Contracts assets, noncurrent $ 7,520 $ 648 $ 6,872 Advance billings, current $ 171,682 $ 209,098 $ (37,416 ) Advance billings, noncurrent $ 14,891 $ 17,765 $ (2,874 ) (1) Balances adjusted for the cumulative effect of accounting change Contract assets are recorded in other current assets and prepayments and other assets, respectively. Advance billings are recorded in advance billings and other noncurrent liabilities. Contract Assets We record contract assets when performance obligations are satisfied in advance of invoicing the customer when the right to consideration is conditional on the satisfaction of another performance obligation within a contract. The net increase is driven by revenue recognized on data contracts during the third quarter, for which consideration will be invoiced in future periods. Advance Billings from Contracts with Customers Advance billings are recorded when cash payments are due in advance of our performance. Items in advance billings primarily relate to support services on equipment and software licenses, subscription services and certain software data products. Revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term. The net decrease in advance billings at September 30, 2018 is primarily driven by revenues recognized during the period, which includes $162 million of advance billings at the beginning of the period, partially offset by advance billings in the quarter. Future Performance Obligations The transaction prices allocated to future performance obligations will be recognized as follows: Remainder of 2018 2019 2020-2025 Total North America Mailing (1) $ 39,160 $ 136,602 $ 209,758 $ 385,520 International Mailing (1) 12,174 35,227 48,822 96,223 Software Solutions (2) 22,780 39,503 32,645 94,928 Total $ 74,114 $ 211,332 $ 291,225 $ 576,671 (1) Revenue streams bundled with our leasing contracts, primarily maintenance and other services (2) Multiple-year software maintenance contracts, certain software and data licenses and data updates The table above does not include revenue related to performance obligations for contracts with terms less than 12 months and expected consideration for those performance obligations where revenue is recognized based on the amount billable to the customer. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Information | Segment Information In January 2018, we revised our business reporting groups to reflect how we manage these groups and clients served in each market. The Commerce Services group was formed and includes our Global Ecommerce and Presort Services segments. Additionally, the operating results of the Production Mail Business have been classified as discontinued operations and segment operating results for the prior year have been recast to conform to the current year presentation. The principal products and services of each of our reportable segments are as follows: Commerce Services: Global Ecommerce: Includes the worldwide revenue and related expenses from cross-border ecommerce transactions and domestic retail and ecommerce shipping solutions, including fulfillment and returns. Presort Services : Includes revenue and related expenses from sortation services that allow clients to qualify large volumes of First Class Mail, Marketing Mail and Bound and Packet Mail (Standard Flats and Bound Printed Matter) for postal worksharing discounts. Small & Medium Business Solutions: North America Mailing : Includes the revenue and related expenses from mailing and shipping solutions, financing services and supplies for small and medium businesses to efficiently create physical and digital mail, evidence postage and simplify and save on the sending, tracking and receiving of letters, parcels and flats in the U.S. and Canada. International Mailing : Includes the revenue and related expenses from mailing and shipping solutions, financing services and supplies for small and medium businesses to efficiently create physical and digital mail, evidence postage and simplify and save on the sending, tracking and receiving of letters, parcels and flats in areas outside the U.S. and Canada. Software Solutions: Includes the worldwide revenue and related expenses from the licensing of customer engagement, customer information, and location intelligence software, data solutions and related support services. Management uses segment earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) to measure profitability and performance at the segment level and believes that it provides a useful measure of operating performance and underlying trends of the business. We determine segment EBIT 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 other items not allocated to a particular business segment. 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 income. Revenue and EBIT by business segment is presented below: Revenue Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 2017 2018 2017 Global Ecommerce $ 232,845 $ 106,181 $ 718,535 $ 288,839 Presort Services 125,334 119,074 382,522 370,203 Commerce Services 358,179 225,255 1,101,057 659,042 North America Mailing 313,965 320,091 954,080 1,016,993 International Mailing 84,970 93,858 276,365 282,482 Small & Medium Business Solutions 398,935 413,949 1,230,445 1,299,475 Software Solutions 75,742 94,069 243,738 248,349 Total revenue $ 832,856 $ 733,273 $ 2,575,240 $ 2,206,866 EBIT Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 2017 2018 2017 Global Ecommerce $ (14,330 ) $ (9,594 ) $ (28,034 ) $ (17,894 ) Presort Services 17,435 19,474 57,026 69,461 Commerce Services 3,105 9,880 28,992 51,567 North America Mailing 118,070 107,963 352,833 370,004 International Mailing 12,794 8,809 42,040 36,239 Small & Medium Business Solutions 130,864 116,772 394,873 406,243 Software Solutions 3,525 18,531 24,450 24,928 Total segment EBIT 137,494 145,183 448,315 482,738 Reconciling items: Unallocated corporate expenses (39,696 ) (41,322 ) (137,257 ) (151,473 ) Interest, net (37,437 ) (41,230 ) (122,484 ) (120,323 ) Restructuring charges and asset impairments, net (7,232 ) (1,470 ) (19,639 ) (29,109 ) Gain from the sale of technology — — — 6,085 Transaction costs (36 ) (4,896 ) (1,089 ) (4,896 ) Other expense (7,964 ) — (7,964 ) — Income from continuing operations before income taxes 45,129 56,265 159,882 183,022 (Benefit) provision for income taxes (1,976 ) 10,828 20,745 38,700 Income from discontinued operations, net of tax 29,848 11,921 39,543 27,070 Net income $ 76,953 $ 57,358 $ 178,680 $ 171,392 |

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract] | |
Discontinued Operations | Discontinued Operations On July 2, 2018, we completed the sale of the Production Mail Business, other than in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions, to an affiliate of Platinum Equity, LLC, a leading global private equity firm. Subsequently during the third quarter, we closed on the sale of additional non-U.S. jurisdictions, and expect to close on the sale of the majority of the remaining non-U.S. jurisdictions in the fourth quarter, subject to local regulatory requirements. Cash proceeds received in the third quarter were $340 million . Net proceeds from the sale after the payment of closing costs, transaction fees and taxes are estimated to be approximately $270 million . In connection with the sale of the Production Mail Business, we entered into Transition Services Agreements (TSAs) with the purchaser whereby we will perform certain support functions for periods of a year or less. None of these TSAs will have a material effect on our financial performance. Selected financial information of the Production Mail Business included in discontinued operations is as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 2017 2018 2017 Revenue $ 19,557 $ 109,547 $ 211,000 $ 293,965 (Loss) earnings from discontinued operations $ (1,316 ) $ 18,700 $ 20,304 $ 42,345 Gain on sale, including transaction costs 86,640 — 77,863 — Income from discontinued operations before taxes 85,324 18,700 98,167 42,345 Tax provision 55,476 6,779 58,624 15,275 Income from discontinued operations, net of tax $ 29,848 $ 11,921 $ 39,543 $ 27,070 The major categories of assets and liabilities of the Production Mail Business included in assets of discontinued operations and liabilities of discontinued operations are as follows: September 30, 2018 December 31, 2017 Cash and cash equivalents $ 1,026 $ — Accounts receivable, net 2,900 97,402 Inventories 4,360 48,910 Other current assets and prepayments 188 3,365 Property, plant and equipment, net 578 5,541 Rental property and equipment, net 386 1,786 Goodwill 8,787 177,799 Other assets 48 45 Assets of discontinued operations $ 18,273 $ 334,848 Accounts payable and accrued liabilities $ 2,261 $ 36,592 Advance billings 2,534 30,607 Other noncurrent liabilities 5,651 5,609 Liabilities of discontinued operations $ 10,446 $ 72,808 |

Receivables [Abstract] | |
Finance Assets | 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 clients for postage and supplies. 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 at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 consisted of the following: September 30, 2018 December 31, 2017 North America International Total North America International Total Sales-type lease receivables Gross finance receivables $ 1,000,825 $ 268,733 $ 1,269,558 $ 1,023,549 $ 292,059 $ 1,315,608 Unguaranteed residual values 58,565 13,163 71,728 74,093 14,202 88,295 Unearned income (210,001 ) (56,613 ) (266,614 ) (216,720 ) (62,325 ) (279,045 ) Allowance for credit losses (10,779 ) (2,264 ) (13,043 ) (7,721 ) (2,794 ) (10,515 ) Net investment in sales-type lease receivables 838,610 223,019 1,061,629 873,201 241,142 1,114,343 Loan receivables Loan receivables 301,575 31,643 333,218 339,373 34,492 373,865 Allowance for credit losses (6,712 ) (885 ) (7,597 ) (7,098 ) (1,020 ) (8,118 ) Net investment in loan receivables 294,863 30,758 325,621 332,275 33,472 365,747 Net investment in finance receivables $ 1,133,473 $ 253,777 $ 1,387,250 $ 1,205,476 $ 274,614 $ 1,480,090 Allowance for Credit Losses We provide an allowance for probable credit losses based on historical loss experience, the nature and volume of our portfolios, adverse situations that may affect a client's ability to pay, prevailing economic conditions and our ability to manage the collateral. We continually evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses and make adjustments as necessary. The assumptions used in determining an estimate of credit losses are inherently subjective and actual results may differ significantly from estimated reserves. 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 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 the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 was as follows: Sales-type Lease Receivables Loan Receivables North America International North America International Total Balance at January 1, 2018 $ 7,721 $ 2,794 $ 7,098 $ 1,020 $ 18,633 Amounts charged to expense 7,037 829 4,896 331 13,093 Write-offs and other (3,979 ) (1,359 ) (5,282 ) (466 ) (11,086 ) Balance at September 30, 2018 $ 10,779 $ 2,264 $ 6,712 $ 885 $ 20,640 Sales-type Lease Receivables Loan Receivables North America International North America International Total Balance at January 1, 2017 $ 8,247 $ 2,647 $ 8,517 $ 1,089 $ 20,500 Amounts charged to expense 7,807 895 3,892 438 13,032 Write-offs and other (8,951 ) (774 ) (5,449 ) (438 ) (15,612 ) Balance at September 30, 2017 $ 7,103 $ 2,768 $ 6,960 $ 1,089 $ 17,920 Aging of Receivables The aging of gross finance receivables at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was as follows: September 30, 2018 Sales-type Lease Receivables Loan Receivables North America International North America International Total 1 - 90 days $ 959,594 $ 262,464 $ 294,349 $ 31,430 $ 1,547,837 > 90 days 41,231 6,269 7,226 213 54,939 Total $ 1,000,825 $ 268,733 $ 301,575 $ 31,643 $ 1,602,776 Past due amounts > 90 days Still accruing interest $ 6,350 $ 1,718 $ — $ — $ 8,068 Not accruing interest 34,881 4,551 7,226 213 46,871 Total $ 41,231 $ 6,269 $ 7,226 $ 213 $ 54,939 December 31, 2017 Sales-type Lease Receivables Loan Receivables North America International North America International Total 1 - 90 days $ 971,002 $ 286,170 $ 330,503 $ 34,239 $ 1,621,914 > 90 days 52,547 5,889 8,870 253 67,559 Total $ 1,023,549 $ 292,059 $ 339,373 $ 34,492 $ 1,689,473 Past due amounts > 90 days Still accruing interest $ 10,807 $ 1,738 $ — $ — $ 12,545 Not accruing interest 41,740 4,151 8,870 253 55,014 Total $ 52,547 $ 5,889 $ 8,870 $ 253 $ 67,559 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, given that 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 September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 by relative risk class 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 (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.

Acquisitions, Intangible Assets and Goodwill | Acquisitions, Intangible Assets and Goodwill Acquisitions In October 2017, we acquired Newgistics for $471 million , net of cash acquired. The results of Newgistics are included in our consolidated operating results from the date of acquisition. Our consolidated revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 includes $126 million and $384 million , respectively, from Newgistics. On a supplemental pro forma basis, had we acquired Newgistics on January 1, 2017, our revenues would have been $106 million and $340 million higher for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. The impact on our earnings would not have been material. Intangible Assets Intangible assets at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 consisted of the following: September 30, 2018 December 31, 2017 Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Amount Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Amount Customer relationships $ 481,422 $ (273,388 ) $ 208,034 $ 504,716 $ (271,066 ) $ 233,650 Software & technology 165,692 (142,747 ) 22,945 167,122 (138,724 ) 28,398 Trademarks & other 40,312 (33,124 ) 7,188 40,649 (30,511 ) 10,138 Total intangible assets $ 687,426 $ (449,259 ) $ 238,167 $ 712,487 $ (440,301 ) $ 272,186 Amortization expense was $11 million and $8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively and $33 million and $24 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements and Derivative Instruments | 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 at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 . September 30, 2018 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Investment securities Money market funds / commercial paper $ 102,777 $ 432,125 $ — $ 534,902 Equity securities — 25,621 — 25,621 Commingled fixed income securities 1,546 20,726 — 22,272 Government and related securities 118,914 17,405 — 136,319 Corporate debt securities — 69,924 — 69,924 Mortgage-backed / asset-backed securities — 158,540 — 158,540 Derivatives Foreign exchange contracts — 2,507 — 2,507 Total assets $ 223,237 $ 726,848 $ — $ 950,085 Liabilities: Derivatives Foreign exchange contracts $ — $ (3,888 ) $ — $ (3,888 ) Total liabilities $ — $ (3,888 ) $ — $ (3,888 ) December 31, 2017 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Investment securities Money market funds / commercial paper $ 143,349 $ 542,568 $ — $ 685,917 Equity securities — 40,717 — 40,717 Commingled fixed income securities 1,569 4,516 — 6,085 Government and related securities 116,041 18,587 — 134,628 Corporate debt securities — 75,109 — 75,109 Mortgage-backed / asset-backed securities — 158,202 — 158,202 Derivatives Interest rate swap — 1,776 — 1,776 Foreign exchange contracts — 122 — 122 Total assets $ 260,959 $ 841,597 $ — $ 1,102,556 Liabilities: Derivatives Foreign exchange contracts $ — $ (335 ) $ — $ (335 ) Total liabilities $ — $ (335 ) $ — $ (335 ) 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: Comprised of mutual funds investing in U.S. and foreign stocks. These mutual funds are classified as Level 2. • Commingled Fixed Income Securities: 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 2. • 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. Available-For-Sale Securities Certain investment securities are classified as available-for-sale and recorded at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax are recorded in AOCI. Available-for-sale investment 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. Available-for-sale securities at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 consisted of the following: September 30, 2018 Amortized cost Gross unrealized gains Gross unrealized losses Estimated fair value Government and related securities $ 136,967 $ 980 $ (2,879 ) $ 135,068 Corporate debt securities 71,261 218 (1,555 ) 69,924 Commingled fixed income securities 1,628 — (82 ) 1,546 Mortgage-backed / asset-backed securities 161,972 569 (4,001 ) 158,540 Total $ 371,828 $ 1,767 $ (8,517 ) $ 365,078 December 31, 2017 Amortized cost Gross unrealized gains Gross unrealized losses Estimated fair value Government and related securities $ 131,872 $ 1,984 $ (1,090 ) $ 132,766 Corporate debt securities 73,612 1,724 (227 ) 75,109 Commingled fixed income securities 1,796 — (40 ) 1,756 Mortgage-backed / asset-backed securities 158,496 1,348 (1,642 ) 158,202 Total $ 365,776 $ 5,056 $ (2,999 ) $ 367,833 The aggregate unrealized holding losses of investment securities in a loss position at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were as follows: September 30, 2018 December 31, 2017 Fair Value Gross unrealized losses Fair Value Gross unrealized losses Greater than 12 continuous months $ 171,927 $ 3,193 $ 90,838 $ 709 Less than 12 continuous months 150,120 5,324 115,815 2,290 Total $ 322,047 $ 8,517 $ 206,653 $ 2,999 We have not recognized an other-than-temporary impairment on any of the investment securities in an unrealized loss position because we have the ability and intent to hold these securities until recovery of the unrealized losses and expect to receive the stated principal and interest at maturity. Scheduled maturities of available-for-sale securities at September 30, 2018 were as follows: Amortized cost Estimated fair value Within 1 year $ 54,573 $ 54,230 After 1 year through 5 years 111,948 110,591 After 5 years through 10 years 59,377 57,862 After 10 years 145,930 142,395 Total $ 371,828 $ 365,078 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. 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. At both September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , we had outstanding contracts associated with these anticipated transactions with notional amounts of $10 million . 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. Interest Rate Swap We had an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $300 million to mitigate the interest rate risk associated with $300 million of variable-rate term loans. This swap matured in September 2018. While outstanding, the swap was designated as a cash flow hedge and the effective portion of the gain or loss on the cash flow hedge was included in AOCI in the period that the change in fair value occurred and reclassified to earnings in the period that the hedged item was recorded in earnings. The fair value of derivative instruments at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was as follows: Designation of Derivatives Balance Sheet Location September 30, December 31, Derivatives designated as hedging instruments Foreign exchange contracts Other current assets and prepayments $ 80 $ 57 Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (60 ) (144 ) Interest rate swap Other assets — 1,776 Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments Foreign exchange contracts Other current assets and prepayments 2,427 65 Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (3,828 ) (191 ) Total derivative assets $ 2,507 $ 1,898 Total derivative liabilities (3,888 ) (335 ) Total net derivative (liability) asset $ (1,381 ) $ 1,563 The majority of the amounts included in AOCI at September 30, 2018 will be recognized in earnings within the next 12 months. No amount of ineffectiveness was recorded in earnings for these designated cash flow hedges. The following represents the results of cash flow hedging relationships for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 : Three Months Ended September 30, Derivative Gain (Loss) Recognized in AOCI (Effective Portion) Location of Gain (Loss) (Effective Portion) Gain (Loss) Reclassified from AOCI to Earnings (Effective Portion) Derivative Instrument 2018 2017 2018 2017 Foreign exchange contracts $ (42 ) $ (152 ) Revenue $ (38 ) $ (139 ) Cost of sales 52 (59 ) Interest rate swap (824 ) (229 ) Interest Expense — — $ (866 ) $ (381 ) $ 14 $ (198 ) Nine Months Ended September 30, Derivative Gain (Loss) Recognized in AOCL (Effective Portion) Location of Gain (Loss) (Effective Portion) Gain (Loss) Reclassified from AOCL to Earnings (Effective Portion) Derivative Instrument 2018 2017 2018 2017 Foreign exchange contracts $ 111 $ (701 ) Revenue $ 38 $ (133 ) Cost of sales (33 ) 89 Interest rate swap (1,776 ) 92 Interest Expense — — $ (1,665 ) $ (609 ) $ 5 $ (44 ) 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. The table below represents the mark-to-market adjustments of non-designated derivative instruments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 . All outstanding contracts at September 30, 2018 mature within 12 months.

At September 30, 2018 , we had no cash collateral posted with certain counterparties. 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 carrying value and estimated fair value of our debt at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were as follows: September 30, 2018 December 31, 2017 Carrying value $ 3,269,617 $ 3,830,335 Fair value $ 3,092,977 $ 3,718,986 |

Debt | Debt Total debt at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 consisted of the following: Interest rate September 30, 2018 December 31, 2017 Notes due March 2018 5.60% $ — $ 250,000 Notes due March 2019 6.25% — 300,000 Notes due September 2020 3.875% 300,000 300,000 Notes due October 2021 3.625% 600,000 600,000 Notes due May 2022 4.375% 400,000 400,000 Notes due April 2023 4.7% 400,000 400,000 Notes due March 2024 4.625% 500,000 500,000 Notes due January 2037 5.25% 35,841 35,841 Notes due March 2043 6.7% 425,000 425,000 Term loans Variable 635,000 650,000 Other debt 5,336 5,476 Principal amount 3,301,177 3,866,317 Less: unamortized costs, net 31,560 35,982 Total debt 3,269,617 3,830,335 Less: current portion long-term debt 192,649 271,057 Long-term debt $ 3,076,968 $ 3,559,278 The interest rate on certain notes and term loans are subject to adjustment based on changes in our credit ratings. In the second quarter, Standard & Poor's lowered our corporate credit rating from BBB- to BB+. As a result, the interest rate on the May 2022 notes, September 2020 notes and term loans increased 0.25% and the interest rate on the October 2021 notes and the April 2023 notes will increase 0.25% effective after the next interest payment date. On August 2, 2018, we redeemed the $300 million 6.25% notes due March 2019 and recorded an $8 million loss on the extinguishment of debt. We also repaid the $250 million of 5.6% notes that matured in March 2018 and $15 million of principal on our term loans. Pursuant to an extension option, the maturity of our $150 million term loan was extended to August 2019. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 was (4.4)% and 19.2% , respectively, and the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 was 13.0% and 21.1% , respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 includes a $7 million and $13 million benefit, respectively, from the resolution of certain tax examinations. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 includes a $6 million and $20 million benefit, respectively, from the resolution of certain tax examinations. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 includes a $2 million and $4 million charge, respectively, from the write-off of deferred tax assets associated with the expiration of out-of-the-money vested stock options and the vesting of restricted stock. The provisional amounts recorded to reflect the impact of tax legislation in 2017 have been adjusted for both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and include a benefit of $8 million and $17 million , respectively, related to the re-measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities and revisions of the U.S. tax on unremitted earnings of our foreign subsidiaries. The amounts recorded as of December 31, 2017 and adjusted September 30, 2018 remain provisional and further adjustments are expected to be made during the measurement period. 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 20% of our unrecognized tax benefits. The IRS examinations of our consolidated U.S. income tax returns for tax years prior to 2015 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 2014 are closed to audit, except for the pending application of legal principles to specific issues arising in earlier years. Other significant jurisdictions include France, which is closed to audit through the end of 2014, Germany, which is closed to audit through the end of 2012 and the UK, which, except for an item under appeal, is closed to audit through the end of 2015. We also have other less significant tax filings currently subject to examination. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | 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. However, as litigation is inherently unpredictable, there can be no assurances in this regard. In August 2018, the Company, certain of its directors, officers and several banks who served as underwriters, were named as defendants in City of Livonia Retiree Health and Disability Benefits Plan v. Pitney Bowes Inc. et al. , a putative class action lawsuit filed in Connecticut state court. The complaint asserts claims under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on behalf of those who purchased notes issued by the Company in connection with a September 13, 2017 offering, alleging, among other things, that the Company failed to make certain disclosures relating to components of its third quarter 2017 performance at the time of the notes offering. The complaint seeks compensatory damages and other relief. Although litigation outcomes are inherently unpredictable, we believe this case is without merit and intend to defend it vigorously. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
New Accounting Pronouncements | Accounting Pronouncements Adopted on January 1, 2018 We adopted Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606), which requires companies to recognize revenue when or as control of a promised good or service is transferred to a client in amounts that reflect consideration the company expects to receive in exchange for those goods and services. See Note 2 for more information on the adoption of ASC 606. We adopted ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes: Intra-entity Transfers of Assets other than Inventory, which requires tax expense to be recognized from the sale of intra-entity assets, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs, even though the effects of the transaction are eliminated in consolidation. Under prior guidance, the tax effects of transfers were deferred until the transferred asset was sold or otherwise recovered through use. We recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying this standard as a net reduction of $3 million to opening retained earnings. We adopted ASU 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Benefit Cost. The ASU requires that the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost be presented in the same income statement line item as other employee compensation costs, while other components of net periodic benefit cost be presented in a separate line item in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Prior period information has been recast to conform to the current period presentation. We adopted ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities . This standard primarily affects the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. There was no impact on our consolidated financial statements. We early adopted ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The ASU changes the recognition and presentation requirements as well as the cost and complexity of applying hedge accounting by easing the requirements for effectiveness testing and hedge documentation. There was no impact on our consolidated financial statements. We adopted ASU 2017-09, Scope of Modification Accounting . The ASU provides guidance about which changes to terms and conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. There was no impact on our consolidated financial statements. We adopted ASU 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities in evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as an acquisition or disposal of assets or a business. There was no impact on our consolidated financial statements. New Accounting Pronouncements - Not Yet Adopted In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software . The ASU aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The standard is effective beginning January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans-General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. The ASU impacts disclosure requirements only. The standard is effective beginning January 1, 2021, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) . The ASU modifies certain disclosure requirements of fair value measurements. The standard is effective beginning January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) . The ASU permits a reclassification of the disproportionate income tax effects of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Act) on items within AOCI to retained earnings and requires certain new disclosures. The standard is effective beginning January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We anticipate that the reclassification of the disproportionate income tax effects of the Act from AOCI to retained earnings could be material; however there will be no impact to total Stockholder's equity. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities . The ASU requires that the premium of certain callable debt securities be amortized to the earliest call date rather than the scheduled maturity date. The standard is effective beginning January 1, 2019 and will be applied on a modified retrospective basis with a cumulative effect adjustment as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Early adoption is permitted. We currently do not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses . The ASU sets forth a “current expected credit loss” (CECL) model, which requires companies to measure expected credit losses for all financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonably supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. This standard is effective beginning January 1, 2020. We are currently assessing the impact this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases . This standard, among other things, requires lessees to recognize almost all leases on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. Additionally, the standard requires enhanced qualitative and quantitative disclosures to help readers assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. From a lessor perspective, the standard simplifies the accounting for lease modifications and aligns accounting of lease contracts with the new revenue recognition guidance. This standard is effective beginning January 1, 2019. We will adopt the standard using a modified retrospective approach and recognize and measure leases in the period of adoption. We plan to utilize a package of optional practical expedients that allows companies to maintain prior accounting conclusions regarding whether a contract contains a lease, lease classification and initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. Prior periods will not be restated. With regard to our lessor portfolio, we expect changes in the timing and classification of revenue and associated costs related to contract modifications, as well as conclusions on lease and non-lease components. We are still determining the impact of these changes on our consolidated financial statements; however, the changes could materially impact the timing of revenue and expense recognition over the lease term. We do not expect the economics and overall profitability of our lease offerings to be materially impacted. From the lessee perspective, we are reviewing our lease portfolio to evaluate the impact on our consolidated financial statements, accounting policies and internal controls; however, we expect that recognizing a right-of-use asset and liability will materially impact our balance sheet. We are implementing a new lease accounting software solution that will determine the right-of-use asset and lease liability related to our operating lease portfolio as well as meet the disclosure requirements. |
