Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Description of Business and Basis of Presentation	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 innovative products and commerce solutions that power billions of transactions and help our clients navigate the complex world of commerce. We offer shipping, mailing, fulfillment, returns and cross-border ecommerce products and solutions that enable the sending of parcels and packages across the globe and customer information management, location intelligence and customer engagement products and solutions to help our clients market to their customers. Clients around the world rely on our products, solutions and services. Pitney Bowes Inc. was incorporated in the state of Delaware in 1920. For more information about us, our products, services and solutions, visit www.pb.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, 2018 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, 2019 . 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, 2018 ( 2018 Annual Report). Based on their nature, we determined that certain costs previously classified as research and development and cost of business services should be classified in other line items within costs and expenses. Accordingly, the income statement for the three months ended June 30, 2018 has been revised to correct the classification of these costs by reducing research and development expense and cost of business services by $7 million and $3 million , respectively, and increasing selling, general and administrative expense and cost of equipment sales by $7 million and $3 million , respectively. The income statement for the six months ended June 30, 2018 has been revised to correct the classification of these costs by reducing research and development expense and cost of business services by $13 million and $5 million , respectively, and increasing selling, general and administrative expense and cost of equipment sales by $13 million and $5 million , respectively. The classification of certain costs of revenue recognized in the prior year have been revised to correct and conform to the current year presentation. As a result, in the income statement for the three months ended June 30, 2018 , we reduced cost of equipment sales by $1 million and cost of rentals by $1 million , and increased cost of support services by $2 million . In the income statement for the six months ended June 30, 2018 , we reduced cost of equipment sales by $3 million and cost of rentals by $2 million , and increased cost of support services by $5 million . In January 2019, we sold the direct operations and moved to a dealer model in six smaller markets within the International Mailing segment (Market Exits) and recognized a pre-tax loss of $18 million in other (income) expense. The December 31, 2018 balance sheet has been revised to reduce short-term finance receivables and advance billings by $6 million . Accounts and other receivables includes other receivables of $101 million at June 30, 2019 and $76 million at December 31, 2018 . New Accounting Pronouncements Accounting Pronouncements Adopted on January 1, 2019 On January 1, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 842, Leases (ASC 842) , using the modified retrospective transition approach of applying the standard at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. Accordingly, prior period financial statements have been recast and required disclosures have been provided. We also recorded a cumulative effect adjustment as of January 1, 2017 to reduce retained earnings by $137 million . See Notes 7 and 15 for more information. From a lessor perspective, the standard simplifies the accounting for lease modifications and aligns accounting of lease contracts with revenue recognition guidance. We continue to classify leases as sales-type or operating, with the determination affecting both the pattern and classification of income recognition. There have been changes in the timing and classification of revenue related to contract modifications. There also have been changes related to the definition of a leased asset, which requires us to account for two lease components as a single lease component. Under prior guidance, one of the components was generally accounted for as a sales-type lease and the second as an operating lease. Under ASC 842, the two components are generally accounted for as a sales-type lease. As a result, certain income and costs are now accelerated that were previously recognized over the life of the lease. From a lessee perspective, the standard requires us to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for our real estate and equipment operating leases and to provide new disclosures about our leasing activities. We elected the short-term lease recognition exemption and did not recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for leases with a term less than 12 months. We also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for our lessee portfolio. Updates to significant accounting policies disclosed in our 2018 Annual Report due to the adoption of ASC 842 are discussed below. Equipment sales: We sell and lease equipment directly to our customers and to distributors (re-sellers) throughout the world. The amount of revenue allocated to the equipment is based on a range of observable selling prices in standalone transactions. We recognize revenue from the sale of equipment under sales-type leases as equipment sales revenue when control of the equipment transfers to the customer, which is upon shipment for self-installed products and upon installation or customer acceptance for other products. We do not typically offer any rights of return. Rentals: Rentals revenue includes revenue from mailing equipment that does not meet the criteria to be accounted for as a sales-type lease. We may invoice in advance for rentals according to the terms of the agreement. We initially defer these advanced billings and recognize rentals revenue on a straight-line basis over the rental period. Revenue generated from financing clients for the continued use of equipment subsequent to the expiration of the original lease are recognized as rentals revenue. Financing: We provide lease financing for our products primarily through sales-type leases. We also provide revolving lines of credit for the purchase of postage and supplies. We believe that our sales-type lease portfolio contains only normal collection risk. We record financing income over the lease term using the effective interest method. Financing also includes amounts related to sales-type leases that customers have extended or renewed for an additional term. Revenue for those contracts will be recognized over the term of the modified lease as financing income using the interest method. Equipment residual values are determined at the inception of the lease using estimates of fair value at the end of the lease term. Fair value estimates are based primarily on historical experience. We also consider forecasted supply and demand for products, product retirement and launch plans, client behavior, regulatory changes, remanufacturing strategies, used equipment markets, competition and technological changes. We evaluate residual values on an annual basis or sooner if circumstances warrant. Declines in estimated residual values considered "other-than-temporary" are recognized immediately. Estimated increases in future residual values are not recognized until the equipment is remarketed. Support services: Support services revenue includes revenue from equipment service contracts, subscriptions and meter services. Revenue is allocated to these services using selling prices charged in standalone replacement and renewal transactions. Since we have a stand-ready obligation to provide these services over the entire contract term, revenue related to these agreements is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement. Business services: Business services revenue includes revenue from mail processing services and ecommerce solutions. These services represent a series of distinct services that are similar in nature, and revenue is recognized as the services are provided. We review third party relationships and record revenue on a gross basis when we act as a principal in a transaction or net basis when we act as an agent between a client and vendor. We consider several factors in determining whether we are acting as principal or agent, such as whether we are the primary obligor to the client, have control over the pricing or have inventory risk. On January 1, 2019, we also adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-08, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities , which shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium, requiring the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (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 June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses

performance obligations generally include the sale of mailing equipment, excluding sales-type leases, and supplies. 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 : Our performance obligations include the sale of 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 : Our performance obligations include the fees associated with the rental of mailing equipment under an operating lease contract. Support services: Performance obligations include providing maintenance, professional services, and subscription and meter services for our mailing equipment. Contract terms range from one year to five years, depending on the term of the lease contract for the related equipment. Revenue for maintenance, subscription and meter services is recognized ratably over the contract period and revenue for professional services is recognized when services are provided. Business services : Our performance obligations include providing 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 in the range of one to five years, followed by annual renewal periods.

Contract assets decreased in the period as the invoicing of performance obligations previously satisfied exceeded the contract assets recognized during the period. 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 June 30, 2019 is due to revenue recognized during the period in excess of advance billings. Revenue recognized during the period includes $109 million of advance billings at the beginning of the period, partially offset by advance billings in the quarter.

Receivables [Abstract]
Finance Assets and Lessor Operating Leases	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. 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 June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 consisted of the following: June 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 North America International Total North America International Total Sales-type lease receivables Gross finance receivables $ 1,081,063 $ 197,145 $ 1,278,208 $ 1,110,896 $ 242,036 $ 1,352,932 Unguaranteed residual values 45,279 11,676 56,955 52,637 12,772 65,409 Unearned income (349,996 ) (47,367 ) (397,363 ) (383,453 ) (55,113 ) (438,566 ) Allowance for credit losses (11,322 ) (2,262 ) (13,584 ) (10,252 ) (2,356 ) (12,608 ) Net investment in sales-type lease receivables 765,024 159,192 924,216 769,828 197,339 967,167 Loan receivables Loan receivables 289,694 30,126 319,820 300,319 29,270 329,589 Allowance for credit losses (6,374 ) (759 ) (7,133 ) (6,777 ) (837 ) (7,614 ) Net investment in loan receivables 283,320 29,367 312,687 293,542 28,433 321,975 Net investment in finance receivables $ 1,048,344 $ 188,559 $ 1,236,903 $ 1,063,370 $ 225,772 $ 1,289,142 Loans receivable are due within one year.

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. As of June 30, 2019 , 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 six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was as follows: Sales-type Lease Receivables Loan Receivables North America International North America International Total Balance at January 1, 2019 $ 10,252 $ 2,356 $ 6,777 $ 837 $ 20,222 Amounts charged to expense 3,660 455 2,329 315 6,759 Write-offs and other (2,590 ) (549 ) (2,732 ) (393 ) (6,264 ) Balance at June 30, 2019 $ 11,322 $ 2,262 $ 6,374 $ 759 $ 20,717 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 5,946 545 3,506 250 10,247 Write-offs and other (2,538 ) (933 ) (3,735 ) (330 ) (7,536 ) Balance at June 30, 2018 $ 11,129 $ 2,406 $ 6,869 $ 940 $ 21,344 Aging of Receivables The aging of gross finance receivables at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was as follows: June 30, 2019 Sales-type Lease Receivables Loan Receivables North America International North America International Total 1 - 90 days $ 1,051,352 $ 192,135 $ 283,809 $ 29,866 $ 1,557,162 > 90 days 29,711 5,010 5,885 260 40,866 Total $ 1,081,063 $ 197,145 $ 289,694 $ 30,126 $ 1,598,028 Past due amounts > 90 days Still accruing interest $ 6,467 $ 1,410 $ 1,932 $ 116 $ 9,925 Not accruing interest 23,244 3,600 3,953 144 30,941 Total $ 29,711 $ 5,010 $ 5,885 $ 260 $ 40,866 December 31, 2018 Sales-type Lease Receivables Loan Receivables North America International North America International Total 1 - 90 days $ 1,069,288 $ 238,114 $ 294,126 $ 29,079 $ 1,630,607 > 90 days 41,608 3,922 6,193 191 51,914 Total $ 1,110,896 $ 242,036 $ 300,319 $ 29,270 $ 1,682,521 Past due amounts > 90 days Still accruing interest $ 7,917 $ 1,111 $ 1,769 $ 72 $ 10,869 Not accruing interest 33,691 2,811 4,424 119 41,045 Total $ 41,608 $ 3,922 $ 6,193 $ 191 $ 51,914 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 are in place to 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. 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 June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 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.

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 June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 . June 30, 2019 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Investment securities Money market funds / commercial paper $ 237,848 $ 321,863 $ — $ 559,711 Equity securities — 22,372 — 22,372 Commingled fixed income securities 1,632 21,212 — 22,844 Government and related securities 78,842 7,550 — 86,392 Corporate debt securities — 50,774 — 50,774 Mortgage-backed / asset-backed securities — 85,415 — 85,415 Derivatives Foreign exchange contracts — 345 — 345 Total assets $ 318,322 $ 509,531 $ — $ 827,853 Liabilities: Derivatives Foreign exchange contracts $ — $ (297 ) $ — $ (297 ) Total liabilities $ — $ (297 ) $ — $ (297 ) December 31, 2018 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Investment securities Money market funds / commercial paper $ 220,756 $ 391,891 $ — $ 612,647 Equity securities — 19,133 — 19,133 Commingled fixed income securities 1,570 20,141 — 21,711 Government and related securities 98,790 9,787 — 108,577 Corporate debt securities — 56,938 — 56,938 Mortgage-backed / asset-backed securities — 98,334 — 98,334 Derivatives Foreign exchange contracts — 2,031 — 2,031 Total assets $ 321,116 $ 598,255 $ — $ 919,371 Liabilities: Derivatives Foreign exchange contracts $ — $ (735 ) $ — $ (735 ) Total liabilities $ — $ (735 ) $ — $ (735 ) 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: 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. Available-For-Sale Securities Investment securities are classified as available-for-sale and recorded at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (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 June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 consisted of the following: June 30, 2019 Amortized cost Gross unrealized gains Gross unrealized losses Estimated fair value Government and related securities $ 85,292 $ 1,063 $ (47 ) $ 86,308 Corporate debt securities 49,507 1,320 (53 ) 50,774 Commingled fixed income securities 1,656 — (24 ) 1,632 Mortgage-backed / asset-backed securities 85,058 905 (548 ) 85,415 Total $ 221,513 $ 3,288 $ (672 ) $ 224,129 December 31, 2018 Amortized cost Gross unrealized gains Gross unrealized losses Estimated fair value Government and related securities $ 109,776 $ 47 $ (1,336 ) $ 108,487 Corporate debt securities 58,714 4 (1,780 ) 56,938 Commingled fixed income securities 1,637 — (67 ) 1,570 Mortgage-backed / asset-backed securities 100,186 167 (2,019 ) 98,334 Total $ 270,313 $ 218 $ (5,202 ) $ 265,329 The aggregate unrealized holding losses of investment securities in a loss position at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were as follows: June 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 Fair Value Gross unrealized losses Fair Value Gross unrealized losses Less than 12 continuous months $ 502 $ 2 $ 48,318 $ 847 Greater than 12 continuous months 56,970 670 177,331 4,355 Total $ 57,472 $ 672 $ 225,649 $ 5,202 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 June 30, 2019 were as follows: Amortized cost Estimated fair value Within 1 year $ 47,535 $ 47,589 After 1 year through 5 years 68,901 69,407 After 5 years through 10 years 34,951 36,121 After 10 years 70,126 71,012 Total $ 221,513 $ 224,129 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 June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , we had outstanding contracts associated with these anticipated transactions with notional amounts of $9 million and $8 million , respectively. 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 in the three months ended June 30, 2019 . 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 June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was as follows: Designation of Derivatives Balance Sheet Location June 30, December 31, Derivatives designated as hedging instruments Foreign exchange contracts Other current assets and prepayments $ 51 $ 61 Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (190 ) (104 ) Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments Foreign exchange contracts Other current assets and prepayments 294 1,970 Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (107 ) (631 ) Total derivative assets $ 345 $ 2,031 Total derivative liabilities (297 ) (735 ) Total net derivative asset $ 48 $ 1,296 The majority of the amounts included in AOCI at June 30, 2019 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 six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 : Three Months Ended June 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 2019 2018 2019 2018 Foreign exchange contracts $ (320 ) $ 119 Revenue $ (36 ) $ 79 Cost of sales 29 (1 ) Interest rate swap — (771 ) Interest Expense — — $ (320 ) $ (652 ) $ (7 ) $ 78 Six Months Ended June 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 2019 2018 2019 2018 Foreign exchange contracts $ 25 $ 154 Revenue $ 75 $ 76 Cost of sales 45 (85 ) Interest rate swap — (952 ) Interest Expense — — $ 25 $ (798 ) $ 120 $ (9 ) 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 six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 . All outstanding contracts at June 30, 2019 mature within 12 months.

At June 30, 2019 , we had no cash collateral posted. 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 June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were as follows: June 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 Carrying value $ 3,244,173 $ 3,265,608 Fair value $ 3,101,477 $ 3,003,678

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was 11.9% and 13.6% , respectively. These rates include benefits from the resolution of certain tax examinations of $4 million and $3 million , respectively. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was 30.1% and 20.8% , respectively. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 includes a $2 million tax on the $18 million book loss from Market Exits, primarily due to nondeductible basis differences. The effective tax rate for each of the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 includes a benefit of $6 million from the resolution of certain tax examinations and a charge of $2 million 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. At December 31, 2018, we had a deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $142 million . It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months, there may be sufficient positive evidence to release approximately $20 million of the valuation allowance. The release of this allowance would result in a decrease to income tax expense. 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 30% of our unrecognized tax benefits.

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 as of June 30, 2019 . 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. In addition, 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. Although litigation outcomes are inherently unpredictable, we believe these matters are without merit and intend to defend them vigorously. A reasonable estimate of the amount of any possible loss or range of loss cannot be made at this time.

Leases [Abstract]
Leased Assets and Liabilities	Leased Assets and Liabilities We lease real estate and equipment under operating and finance lease agreements. Our leases have terms of up to 15 years, some of which may include the option to extend the lease for up to 5 years. At lease commencement, we record a lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset. Lease liabilities represent the present value of our future lease payments over the expected lease term, which includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain those options will be exercised. Lease payments include fixed payments and variable payments that are tied to an index. Variable payments not tied to an index are excluded from the right-of-use asset and lease liability and primarily include common area maintenance charges, property taxes, insurance and mileage. The present value of our lease liability is determined using our incremental borrowing rate at lease inception.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements	New Accounting Pronouncements Accounting Pronouncements Adopted on January 1, 2019 On January 1, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 842, Leases (ASC 842) , using the modified retrospective transition approach of applying the standard at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. Accordingly, prior period financial statements have been recast and required disclosures have been provided. We also recorded a cumulative effect adjustment as of January 1, 2017 to reduce retained earnings by $137 million . See Notes 7 and 15 for more information. From a lessor perspective, the standard simplifies the accounting for lease modifications and aligns accounting of lease contracts with revenue recognition guidance. We continue to classify leases as sales-type or operating, with the determination affecting both the pattern and classification of income recognition. There have been changes in the timing and classification of revenue related to contract modifications. There also have been changes related to the definition of a leased asset, which requires us to account for two lease components as a single lease component. Under prior guidance, one of the components was generally accounted for as a sales-type lease and the second as an operating lease. Under ASC 842, the two components are generally accounted for as a sales-type lease. As a result, certain income and costs are now accelerated that were previously recognized over the life of the lease. From a lessee perspective, the standard requires us to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for our real estate and equipment operating leases and to provide new disclosures about our leasing activities. We elected the short-term lease recognition exemption and did not recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for leases with a term less than 12 months. We also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for our lessee portfolio. Updates to significant accounting policies disclosed in our 2018 Annual Report due to the adoption of ASC 842 are discussed below. Equipment sales: We sell and lease equipment directly to our customers and to distributors (re-sellers) throughout the world. The amount of revenue allocated to the equipment is based on a range of observable selling prices in standalone transactions. We recognize revenue from the sale of equipment under sales-type leases as equipment sales revenue when control of the equipment transfers to the customer, which is upon shipment for self-installed products and upon installation or customer acceptance for other products. We do not typically offer any rights of return. Rentals: Rentals revenue includes revenue from mailing equipment that does not meet the criteria to be accounted for as a sales-type lease. We may invoice in advance for rentals according to the terms of the agreement. We initially defer these advanced billings and recognize rentals revenue on a straight-line basis over the rental period. Revenue generated from financing clients for the continued use of equipment subsequent to the expiration of the original lease are recognized as rentals revenue. Financing: We provide lease financing for our products primarily through sales-type leases. We also provide revolving lines of credit for the purchase of postage and supplies. We believe that our sales-type lease portfolio contains only normal collection risk. We record financing income over the lease term using the effective interest method. Financing also includes amounts related to sales-type leases that customers have extended or renewed for an additional term. Revenue for those contracts will be recognized over the term of the modified lease as financing income using the interest method. Equipment residual values are determined at the inception of the lease using estimates of fair value at the end of the lease term. Fair value estimates are based primarily on historical experience. We also consider forecasted supply and demand for products, product retirement and launch plans, client behavior, regulatory changes, remanufacturing strategies, used equipment markets, competition and technological changes. We evaluate residual values on an annual basis or sooner if circumstances warrant. Declines in estimated residual values considered "other-than-temporary" are recognized immediately. Estimated increases in future residual values are not recognized until the equipment is remarketed. Support services: Support services revenue includes revenue from equipment service contracts, subscriptions and meter services. Revenue is allocated to these services using selling prices charged in standalone replacement and renewal transactions. Since we have a stand-ready obligation to provide these services over the entire contract term, revenue related to these agreements is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement. Business services: Business services revenue includes revenue from mail processing services and ecommerce solutions. These services represent a series of distinct services that are similar in nature, and revenue is recognized as the services are provided. We review third party relationships and record revenue on a gross basis when we act as a principal in a transaction or net basis when we act as an agent between a client and vendor. We consider several factors in determining whether we are acting as principal or agent, such as whether we are the primary obligor to the client, have control over the pricing or have inventory risk. On January 1, 2019, we also adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-08, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities , which shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium, requiring the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (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 June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses
