(Unaudited; table amounts in thousands of dollars, unless otherwise noted)

1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

We offer a full suite of equipment, supplies, software, services and solutions for managing and integrating physical and digital communication channels. We conduct our business activities in seven reporting segments within two business groups: Small & Medium Business Solutions and Enterprise Business Solutions. See Note 14 for information regarding our reportable segments.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Pitney Bowes Inc. and its subsidiaries (PBI, the company, we, us, and our) 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, 2010 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly our financial position at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or the year ending December 31, 2011.

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, 2010, as such financial statements have been amended by the financial information included in the Current Report on Form 8-K dated September 22, 2011 (together, the 2010 Annual Report). Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, 2011, new accounting guidance became effective addressing the accounting for revenue arrangements with multiple elements and certain revenue arrangements that include software. This guidance allows companies to allocate consideration in a multiple element arrangement in a way that better reflects the economics of the transaction and results in the elimination of the residual method. In addition, tangible products that have software components that are “essential to the functionality” of the tangible product were scoped out of the software revenue guidance. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, nor did it result in any additional disclosures beyond those already included in our 2010 Annual Report. Refer to Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2010 Annual Report for further information.

In June 2011, new guidance was introduced that would eliminate the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of stockholders’ equity, and require an entity to present items of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, but consecutive, statements. This guidance would be effective in the first quarter of 2012, with early adoption permitted. This guidance will result in a change in the way we present other comprehensive income and its components, but will not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

3. Discontinued Operations

During the third quarter of 2011, we entered into a series of settlements with the IRS in connection with their examination of our tax years 2001-2004. We agreed upon both the tax treatment of a number of disputed issues, including issues related to our Capital Services business that was sold in 2006, and revised tax calculations. As a result, $60 million of previously provided tax and interest reserves were released through discontinued operations. See Note 7 for further information.

4. Inventories

Inventories at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 consisted of the following:

	September 30, 2011		December 31, 2010
Raw materials and work in process	$	58,581	$	46,664
Supplies and service parts		55,414		63,991
Finished products		64,558		58,312
Total	$	178,553	$	168,967

If all inventories valued at LIFO had been stated at current costs, inventories would have been $26 million higher than reported at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

5. Intangible Assets and Goodwill

Intangible assets

Intangible assets at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 consisted of the following:

	September 30, 2011							December 31, 2010
	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net Carrying Amount		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net Carrying Amount
Customer relationships	$	426,136	$	(239,486	)	$	186,650	$	453,523	$	(229,143	)	$	224,380

Trademarks & trade names		36,141		(31,766	)		4,375		36,322		(30,224	)		6,098
Non-compete agreements		7,690		(7,462	)		228		7,845		(7,486	)		359
Total intangible assets	$	669,877	$	(426,528	)	$	243,349	$	698,878	$	(401,435	)	$	297,443

Amortization expense related to intangible assets was $14 million and $15 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $43 million and $48 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. In the third quarter 2011, we also recorded impairment charges totaling $12 million associated with our International Mailing Services (IMS) operations within our Mail Services segment. These charges were recorded in restructuring charges and asset impairments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. See Goodwill section below and Note 14 for further details. The future amortization expense as of September 30, 2011 is as follows:

	Amount
Remaining for year ended December 31, 2011	$	14,045
Year ended December 31, 2012		51,241
Year ended December 31, 2013		46,979
Year ended December 31, 2014		40,880
Year ended December 31, 2015		33,926
Thereafter		56,278
Total	$	243,349

Actual amortization expense may differ from the amounts above due to, among other things, future acquisitions, impairments, accelerated amortization or fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

Goodwill

We perform our annual goodwill impairment test during the fourth quarter of each year, or sooner, if circumstances indicate an impairment may exist. Due to continuing underperformance of our IMS operations and in connection with the company’s long-term

PITNEY BOWES INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited; table amounts in thousands of dollars, unless otherwise noted)

planning and budgeting process during the third quarter, management concluded that it was appropriate to perform a goodwill impairment review for IMS at September 30, 2011.

We determined the fair value of IMS using a combination of techniques including the present value of future cash flows, multiples of competitors and multiples from sales of like businesses. We derived the cash flow estimates from our historical experience and our long-term plans. We then allocated the implied fair value to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit as if it had just been acquired in a business combination. Based on our analysis, it was determined that the estimated fair value of IMS was less than its carrying value, and a goodwill impairment charge of $46 million was recognized during the third quarter.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill, by reporting segment, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 is as follows:

	Balance at December 31, 2010		Impairment			Other (1)			Balance at September 30, 2011
North America Mailing	$	357,918	$	—		$	(1,047	)	$	356,871

6. Long-term Debt

There have been no significant changes to long-term debt since December 31, 2010.

In April 2011, we entered into two interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional value of $450 million to effectively convert the fixed rate interest payments on our $450 million 4.875% notes due in 2014 into variable rates. Under the terms of these agreements, we pay a weighted-average variable rate based on three month LIBOR plus 305 basis points and receive fixed rate payments of 4.875%.

7. Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was (17.1)% and 32.8%, respectively, and the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was 19.7% and 38.2%, respectively. The year-to-date 2011 rate includes a $34 million tax benefit from the sale of non-U.S. leveraged lease assets, $27 million of tax benefits arising from the findings of various tax examinations and a $3 million charge 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 units previously granted to our employees. The year-to-date 2010 rate included a $9 million charge from the write-off of deferred tax assets related to the U.S. health care reform legislation that eliminated the tax deduction for retiree health care costs to the extent of federal subsidies received by companies that provide retiree prescription drug benefits equivalent to Medicare Part D coverage and a $10 million charge 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 units previously granted to our employees.

We regularly assess the likelihood of tax adjustments in each of the tax jurisdictions in which we have operations and account for the related financial statement implications. Tax reserves have been established which we believe to be appropriate given the possibility

(Unaudited; table amounts in thousands of dollars, unless otherwise noted)

of tax adjustments. Determining the appropriate level of tax reserves requires us to exercise judgment regarding the uncertain application of tax laws. The amount of reserves is adjusted when information becomes available or when an event occurs indicating a change in the reserve is appropriate. Future changes in tax reserve requirements could have a material impact on our results of operations.

As is the case with other large corporations, our tax returns are examined each year by tax authorities in the United States, other countries and local jurisdictions in which we have operations. The IRS examination of tax years 2001-2004 is estimated to be closed to audit within the next six months and the examination of years 2005-2008 within the next 12 months. During July 2011, in connection with the 2001-2004 examination, we entered into a series of settlements with the IRS under which we agreed upon both the tax treatment of a number of disputed issues and revised tax calculations. Accordingly, in the third quarter $76 million of previously provided tax and interest reserves were released, of which $60 million related to our Capital Services business that we sold in 2006 and was released through discontinued operations. During the fourth quarter of 2011, in connection with the 2005-2008 IRS examination, we entered into a settlement with the IRS under which we agreed upon both the tax treatment of disputed issues and revised tax calculations. In the fourth quarter, we expect to release at least $30 million of 2005-2008 tax and interest reserves, about $5 million of which will be released through Discontinued Operations. Our additional liability for tax and interest arising from the 2001-2008 IRS examinations is approximately $400 million, which was previously paid through the purchase of tax bonds.

In addition, a variety of post-2000 tax years remain subject to examination by other tax authorities, including the U.S., UK, Canada, France, Germany and various U.S. states. It is reasonably possible that the amount of our unrecognized tax benefits will decrease in the next 12 months, and we expect this change could be up to two-thirds of our unrecognized tax benefits. We believe we have established tax reserves that are appropriate given the possibility of tax adjustments, including any adjustments to our unrecognized tax benefits. However, depending upon the size of the reserve as compared to the ultimate determination of such matters, the resolution could have a material impact, positive or negative, on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

8. Noncontrolling Interests (Preferred Stockholders’ Equity in Subsidiaries)

In 2009, Pitney Bowes International Holdings, Inc. (PBIH), a subsidiary of ours, issued 300,000 shares, or $300 million, of perpetual voting preferred stock (the Preferred Stock) to certain outside institutional investors. The holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled as a group to 25% of the combined voting power of all classes of capital stock of PBIH. All outstanding common stock of PBIH, representing the remaining 75% of the combined voting power of all classes of capital stock, is owned directly or indirectly by the company. The Preferred Stock is entitled to cumulative dividends at a rate of 6.125% for a period of seven years after which it becomes callable and, if it remains outstanding, will yield a dividend that increases by 50% every six months thereafter. No dividends were in arrears at September 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010.

The carrying value of the Preferred Stock is reported as Noncontrolling interests (Preferred stockholders’ equity in subsidiaries) on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Preferred Stock dividends are reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as Preferred stock dividends of subsidiaries attributable to noncontrolling interests. There was no change in the carrying value of noncontrolling interests during the period ended September 30, 2011 or the year ended December 31, 2010.

10. Fair Value Measurements and Derivative Instruments

The fair value measurement guidance established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

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.

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, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. 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 their placement within the fair value hierarchy.

Investment Securities

For our investments, we use the market approach for recurring fair value measurements and the valuation techniques use 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 of companies and other highly liquid and 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 common stock. These mutual funds are classified as Level 2 as they are not separately listed on an exchange.

• Debt Securities – U.S. and Foreign Governments, Agencies and Municipalities: 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 valued using quoted market prices for similar securities or benchmarking model derived prices to quoted market prices and trade data for identical or comparable securities are classified as Level 2.

• Debt Securities – Corporate: Corporate debt securities are valued using recently executed transactions, market price quotations where observable, or bond spreads. The spread data used are for the same maturity as the security. These securities are classified as Level 2.

• Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) / Asset-Backed Securities (ABS): These securities are valued based on external pricing indices. When external index pricing is not observable, MBS and ABS are valued based on external price/spread data. These securities are classified as Level 2.

Investment securities include investments held by The Pitney Bowes Bank (PBB). PBB, a wholly-owned subsidiary, is a Utah-chartered Industrial Loan Company (ILC). The bank’s investments at September 30, 2011 were $310 million. These investments were reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as cash and cash equivalents of $21 million, short-term investments of

11

PITNEY BOWES INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited; table amounts in thousands of dollars, unless otherwise noted)

$53 million and other assets of $236 million. The bank’s investments at December 31, 2010 were $246 million and were reported as cash and cash equivalents of $61 million, short-term investments of $27 million and other assets of $158 million.

We have not experienced any write-offs in our investment portfolio. The majority of our MBS are either guaranteed or supported by the U.S. government. Market events have not caused our money market funds to experience declines in their net asset value below $1.00 per share or to incur imposed limits on redemptions. We have no investments in inactive markets which would warrant a possible change in our pricing methods or classification within the fair value hierarchy. Further, we have no investments in auction rate securities.

Derivative Instruments

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes and foreign currency fluctuations. We limit these risks by following established risk management policies and procedures, including the use of derivatives. We use derivatives to manage the related cost of debt and to limit the effects of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on financial results. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

As required by the fair value measurements guidance, we have incorporated counterparty credit risk and our credit risk into the fair value measurement of our derivative assets and liabilities, respectively. We derive credit risk from observable data related to credit default swaps. We have not seen a material change in the creditworthiness of those banks acting as derivative counterparties.

The valuation of our interest rate swaps is based on the income approach using a model with inputs that are observable or that can be derived from or corroborated by observable market data. The valuation of our foreign exchange derivatives is based on the market approach using observable market inputs, such as forward rates.

The following is a summary of our derivative fair values at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

		Fair Value

	Total Derivative Liabilities		3,102		6,907
	Total Net Derivative Assets	$	18,327	$	6,260

Interest Rate Swaps

Derivatives designated as fair value hedges include interest rate swaps related to fixed rate debt. Changes in the fair value of both the derivative and item being hedged are recognized in earnings.

At September 30, 2011, we have outstanding interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of $850 million that effectively convert fixed rate interest payments on the $400 million 4.625% notes due in 2012 (the 2012 Swaps) and the $450 million 4.875% notes due in 2014 (the 2014 Swaps) into variable rates.

12

PITNEY BOWES INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited; table amounts in thousands of dollars, unless otherwise noted)

Under the terms of the 2012 Swaps, we pay a weighted-average variable rate based on one month LIBOR plus 249 basis points and receive a fixed rate of 4.625%. Under the terms of the 2014 Swaps, we pay a weighted-average variable rate based on three month LIBOR plus 305 basis points and receive a fixed rate of 4.875%. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the aggregate fair value of these interest rate swaps was an asset of $19 million and $10 million, respectively.

The following represents the results of fair value hedging relationships for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:

		Three Months Ended September 30,
		Derivative Gain Recognized in Earnings				Hedged Item Expense Recognized in Earnings
Derivative Instrument	Location of Gain (Loss)	2011		2010		2011			2010

Foreign Exchange Contracts

We enter into foreign currency exchange contracts arising from 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 the cash flow hedges is included in accumulated other comprehensive income (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 September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had outstanding contracts associated with these anticipated transactions with a notional amount of $28 million and $25 million, respectively. These contracts had a net asset value of $1 million at September 30, 2011 and a net liability value of $1 million at December 31, 2010.

As of September 30, 2011, all of the net derivative gain recognized in AOCI 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, 2011 and 2010:

	Three Months Ended September 30,

We also 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 the intercompany loans and interest and the mark-to-market adjustment on the derivatives are both recorded in earnings. At September 30, 2011, outstanding foreign exchange contracts to buy or sell various currencies had a net liability value of $1 million. These contracts mature by December 2011. At December 31, 2010, outstanding foreign exchange contracts to buy or sell various currencies had a net liability value of $3 million.

The following represents the results of our non-designated derivative instruments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:

Credit-Risk-Related Contingent Features

Certain derivative instruments contain provisions that would require us to post collateral upon a significant downgrade in our long-term senior unsecured debt ratings. At September 30, 2011, our long-term senior unsecured debt ratings were BBB+ / A2. Based on derivative values at September 30, 2011, we would have been required to post $2 million in collateral if our long-term senior unsecured debt ratings had fallen below BB- / Ba3.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, investment securities, accounts receivable, loans receivable, accounts payable, notes payable, long-term debt and derivative instruments. The carrying value for cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

The carrying values and estimated fair values of our remaining financial instruments at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 is as follows:

	September 30, 2011						December 31, 2010
	Carrying value (1)			Fair value			Carrying value (1)			Fair value
Investment securities	$	566,582		$	574,873		$	512,771		$	514,906
Loans receivable	$	444,727		$	444,727		$	459,235		$	459,235

(1) Carrying value includes accrued interest and deferred fee income, where applicable.

The fair value of long-term debt is estimated based on quoted market prices for the identical issue when traded in an active market. When a quoted market price is not available, the fair value is determined using rates currently available to the company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

11. Restructuring Charges and Asset Impairments

2009 Program

In 2009, we announced that we were undertaking a series of initiatives designed to transform and enhance the way we operate as a global company. In order to enhance our responsiveness to changing market conditions, we are executing a strategic transformation program designed to create improved processes and systems to further enable us to invest in future growth in areas such as our global customer interactions and product development processes. This program is expected to continue into 2012 and will result in the reduction of at least 10 percent of the positions in the company. Total pre-tax costs of this program are expected to be between $300 million to $350 million primarily related to severance and benefit costs, including pension and retiree medical charges, incurred in connection with such workforce reductions. Most of the total pre-tax costs will be cash-related charges. Currently, we are targeting annualized pre-tax benefits, net of system and related investments, in the range of $250 million to $300 million by 2012. These costs and the related benefits will be recognized as different actions are approved and implemented.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded pre-tax restructuring charges and asset impairments associated with this program of $55 million, which included $31 million for employee severance and benefit costs, a $6 million pension and retiree medical charge as workforce reductions caused the elimination of a significant amount of future service requiring us to recognize a portion of the prior service costs and actuarial losses, asset impairments of $11 and other exit costs of $8 million. Additional asset impairment charges of $12 million related to the impairment of certain intangible assets unrelated to this program were also recorded during 2011 (See Note 5). Through September 30, 2011, the cumulative charges for this program are $301 million. The majority of the liability at September 30, 2011 is expected to be paid from cash generated from operations.

Activity in the reserves for the restructuring actions taken in connection with the 2009 program for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 is as follows:

	Severance and benefits costs			Pension and Retiree Medical			Asset impairments			Other exit costs			Total
Balance at January 1, 2011	$	88,169		$	—		$	—		$	6,787		$	94,956

Balance at September 30, 2011	$	57,230		$	—		$	—		$	860		$	58,090

2007 Program

In 2007, we announced a program to lower our cost structure, accelerate efforts to improve operational efficiencies, and transition our product line. The program included charges primarily associated with older equipment that we had stopped selling upon transition to the new generation of fully digital, networked, and remotely-downloadable equipment.

Activity in the reserves for the restructuring actions taken in connection with the 2007 program for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 is as follows:

	Severance and benefits costs			Other exit costs			Total
Balance at January 1, 2011	$	13,470		$	4,774		$	18,244

12. 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 customers; 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.

Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Imagitas, Inc., is a defendant in several purported class actions. These lawsuits were originally filed in six different states and later coordinated in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida,In re: Imagitas, Driver’s Privacy Protection Act Litigation (Coordinated, May 28, 2007). Each of these lawsuits alleges that the Imagitas DriverSource program violated the federal Drivers Privacy Protection Act (DPPA). Under the DriverSource program, Imagitas entered into contracts with state governments to mail out automobile registration renewal materials along with third party advertisements, without revealing the personal information of any state resident to any advertiser. The DriverSource program assisted the state in performing its governmental function of delivering these mailings and funding the costs of them. The plaintiffs in these actions were seeking statutory damages under the DPPA. On December 21, 2009, the Eleventh Circuit Court affirmed the District Court’s summary judgment decision inRine, et al. v. Imagitas, Inc. (U.S. District Court, Middle District of Florida, filed August 1, 2006), which ruled in Imagitas’ favor and dismissed that litigation. That decision is now final, with no further appeals available. With respect to the remaining state cases, Imagitas filed its motion to dismiss these cases on October 8, 2010. Plaintiff’s opposition brief was filed on December 6, 2010, and Imagitas filed its reply brief on December 22, 2010. Although the plaintiffs are still contending that the cases filed in Massachusetts, Ohio and Missouri can proceed, they have admitted in their response that the reasoning in the Rine decision does require that actions based on Minnesota and New York laws be dismissed. We are awaiting a decision by the District Court on the motion to dismiss. Based upon our current understanding of the facts and applicable laws, we do not believe there is a reasonable possibility that any loss has been incurred.

On October 28, 2009, the company and certain of its current and former officers were named as defendants inNECA-IBEW Health & Welfare Fund v. Pitney Bowes Inc. et al.,a class action lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The complaint asserts claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of those who purchased the common stock of the company during the period between July 30, 2007 and October 29, 2007 alleging that the company, in essence, missed two financial projections. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on September 20, 2010. On December 3, 2010, we moved to dismiss the complaint. The parties have completed briefing on this motion and the motion is now pending before the court. Based upon our current understanding of the facts and applicable laws, we do not believe there is a reasonable possibility that any loss has been incurred.

We expect to prevail in the legal actions above; however, as litigation is inherently unpredictable, there can be no assurance in this regard. If the plaintiffs do prevail, the results may have a material effect on our financial position, future results of operations or cash flows, including, for example, our ability to offer certain types of goods or services in the future.

13. Finance Assets

Finance Receivables

Finance receivables are comprised of sales-type lease receivables and unsecured revolving loan receivables. Sales-type leases 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 customers for postage and related supplies. Loan receivables are generally due each month; however, customers may rollover outstanding balances.

Finance receivables at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 consisted of the following:

Allowance for Credit Losses

Activity in the allowance for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 is as follows:

	Allowance for Credit Losses
	Sales-type Lease Receivables						Loan Receivables
	North America			International			North America			International			Total
Balance January 1, 2011	$	27,792		$	13,318		$	26,208		$	2,112		$	69,430
Amounts charged to expense		12,372			10,025			9,633			2,001			34,031
Accounts written off		(10,420	)		(9,572	)		(10,888	)		(1,780	)		(32,660	)
Balance September 30, 2011	$	29,744		$	13,771		$	24,953		$	2,333		$	70,801

We maintain a program for U.S. borrowers in our North America loan portfolio who are experiencing financial difficulties, but are able to make reduced payments over an extended period of time. Upon acceptance into the program, the borrower’s credit line is closed, interest accrual is suspended, the borrower’s minimum required payment is reduced and the account is re-aged and classified as current. There is no forgiveness of debt or reduction of balances owed. The loans in the program are considered to be Troubled Debt Restructurings because of the concessions granted to the borrower. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, loans in this program had a balance of approximately $7 million.

These modified loans are factored into the determination and evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses and is determined by the difference between cash flows expected to be received from the borrower discounted at the original effective rate and the carrying value of the balance. The allowance for credit losses related to such loans is approximately $3 million at September 30, 2011 and is included in the balance of the allowance for credit losses of North American loans in the table above. Management believes that the allowance for credit losses is adequate for these loans and all other loans in the portfolio. Write-offs of loans in the program totaled approximately $1 million for the previous twelve months.

Credit Quality

We use credit scores as one of many data elements in making the decision to grant credit at inception, setting credit lines at inception, managing credit lines through the life of the customer, and to assist in collections strategy.

We use a third party to score the majority of the North American portfolio on a quarterly basis using a commercial credit score. Accounts may not receive a score because of data issues related to SIC information, customer identification mismatches between the various data sources and other reasons. We do not currently score the portfolios outside of North America because the cost to do so is prohibitive, it is a fragmented process and there is no single credit score model that covers all countries. However, credit policies are similar to those in North America.

The table below shows the North American portfolio at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 by relative risk class (low, medium and high) based on the relative scores of the accounts within each class. A fourth class is shown for accounts that are not scored. The degree of risk, as defined by the third party, refers to the relative risk that an account in the next 12 month period may become delinquent. Absence of a score is not indicative of the credit quality of the account.

- Low risk accounts are companies with very good credit risk

- Medium risk accounts are companies with average to good credit risk

- High risk accounts are companies with poor credit risk, are delinquent or are at risk of becoming delinquent

Although the relative score of accounts within each class is used as a factor for determining the establishment of a customer credit limit, it is not indicative of our actual history of losses due to the business essential nature of our products and services.

The aging schedule included above, showing approximately 1.7% of the portfolio as greater than 90 days past due, and the roll-forward schedule of the allowance for credit losses, showing the actual losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 are more representative of the potential loss performance of our portfolio than relative risk based on scores, as defined by the third party.

14. Segment Information

We conduct our business activities in seven reporting segments within two business groups, Small & Medium Business Solutions and Enterprise Business Solutions. As a result of certain organizational changes effective January 1, 2011, we have reclassified prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation. The principal products and services of each of our reporting segments are as follows:

Small & Medium Business Solutions:

North America Mailing: Includes the U.S. and Canadian revenue and related expenses from the sale, rental and financing of our mail finishing, mail creation, shipping equipment and software; supplies; support and other professional services; and payment solutions.

International Mailing: Includes the revenue and related expenses from the sale, rental and financing of our mail finishing, mail creation, shipping equipment and software; supplies; support and other professional services; and payment solutions outside North America.

Enterprise Business Solutions:

Production Mail: Includes the worldwide revenue and related expenses from the sale, support and other professional services of our high-speed, production mail systems, sorting and production print equipment and related software.

Software: Includes the worldwide revenue and related expenses from the sale and support services of non-equipment-based mailing, customer relationship and communication and location intelligence software.

Management Services: Includes worldwide revenue and related expenses from facilities management services; secure mail services; reprographic, document management services; and litigation support and eDiscovery services.

Mail Services: Includes worldwide revenue and related expenses from presort mail services and cross-border mail services.

Marketing Services: Includes revenue and related expenses from direct marketing services for targeted customers.

Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), a non-GAAP measure, is determined by deducting from segment revenue the related costs and expenses attributable to the segment. EBIT excludes interest, taxes, general corporate expenses and restructuring charges, which are generally managed across the entire company on a consolidated basis, and asset impairments, including charges to goodwill. EBIT is useful to management in demonstrating the operational profitability of the segments excluding centrally managed costs, and is also used for purposes of measuring the performance of our management team. Segment EBIT, however, may not be indicative of our overall consolidated performance and therefore, should be read in conjunction with our consolidated results of operations.

Revenue and EBIT by business segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 is as follows:

Overview

For the third quarter 2011, revenue decreased 3% to $1,300 million compared to the prior year. Foreign currency translation had a 2% favorable impact on revenue. Excluding the effects of foreign currency translation in the quarter, revenue was adversely impacted by decreases in equipment sales (13%), supplies revenue (7%), rental revenue (9%), financing revenue (6%) and business and support services revenue (4%), but was partially offset by an increase of 12% in software revenue.

Net income from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders was $112 million, or $0.56 per diluted share for the quarter compared to $91 million or $0.44 per diluted share for the same period in the prior year. These results include the following items:

• In July 2011, we entered into a series of settlements with the IRS in connection with its examination of our tax years 2001-2004 under which we agreed upon both the tax treatment of a number of disputed issues and revised tax calculations. As a result of this settlement, we reversed $16 million of previously established tax and interest reserves into income from continuing operations. See Note 7 to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements;

• In September 2011, we completed a sale of non-U.S. leveraged lease assets resulting in an after-tax gain of $27 million;

• We recognized in other income $18 million from insurance recoveries related to the February 2011 fire at our Dallas presort facility;

• We recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $46 million and asset impairment charges of $12 million associated with our International Mailing Services operations within our Mail Services segment.

The disruption caused by the fire at our Dallas mail presort facility resulted in a loss of $2 million in revenue and $0.01 per diluted share in the quarter. The Dallas presort facility has now reached operational efficiency comparable to the previous facility. To date, we have received $40 million of insurance proceeds, $34 million of which had been received as of September 30, 2011.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we generated $750 million in cash from operations, which was used primarily to pay $226 million of dividends to our common stockholders, fund capital investments of $123 million, reduce debt by $50 million, make a special pension contribution of $123 million and repurchase $100 million of our common stock.

Outlook

The worldwide economy and business environment continues to be uncertain, especially for small businesses. This uncertain economic environment has impacted our financial results and in particular our recurring revenue streams, including our high-margin financing, rental and supplies revenue streams. Recovery of these recurring revenue streams will lag a recovery in equipment sales. While we have been successful in reducing our cost structure across the entire business and shifting to a more variable cost structure, these actions have not been sufficient to completely offset the impact of lower revenues. We remain focused on streamlining our business operations and creating more flexibility in our cost structure.

Our growth strategies focus on leveraging our expertise in physical communications with our expanding capabilities in digital and hybrid communications. We see long-term opportunities in delivering products, software, services and solutions that help customers grow their business by more effectively managing their physical and digital communications with their customers.

We continue to expect our mix of revenue to change, with a greater percentage of revenue coming from enterprise related products and solutions. We expect that our future results will continue to be impacted by changes in global economic conditions and their impact on mail intensive industries. It is not expected that total mail volumes will rebound to prior peak levels in an economic recovery, and future mail volume trends will continue to be a factor for our businesses.

During the fourth quarter of 2011, in connection with the 2005-2008 IRS examination, we entered into a settlement with the IRS under which we agreed upon both the tax treatment of disputed issues and revised tax calculations. In the fourth quarter, we expect to release at least $30 million of 2005-2008 tax and interest reserves, about $5 million of which will be released through Discontinued Operations. Our additional liability for tax and interest arising from the 2001-2008 IRS examinations is approximately $400 million, which was previously paid through the purchase of tax bonds.

The IRS exam of tax years 2001-2004 is estimated to be closed to audit within the next six months and the examination of years 2005-2008 within the next 12 months. The ultimate resolution of any remaining matters could have a material impact, positive or negative, on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. See Note 7 to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

A variety of post-2000-tax years remain subject to examination by tax authorities, including the U.S., UK, Canada, France, Germany and various U.S. states. We regularly assess the likelihood of tax adjustments in each of the tax jurisdictions in which we have operations and account for the related financial statement implications. It is reasonably possible that the amount of our tax uncertainties will decrease in the next 12 months, and we expect this change could be up to two-thirds of those uncertainties. See Note 7 to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Third Quarter2011 compared to Third Quarter 2010

Business segment results

We conduct our business activities in seven reporting segments within two business groups, Small & Medium Business Solutions (SMB Solutions) and Enterprise Business Solutions (EB Solutions). The following table shows revenue and EBIT for the business segments for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. EBIT, a non-GAAP measure, is determined by deducting from segment revenue the related costs and expenses attributable to the segment. EBIT excludes interest, taxes, general corporate expenses and restructuring charges, which are generally managed across the entire company on a consolidated basis, and asset impairments, including charges to goodwill. EBIT is useful to management in demonstrating the operational profitability of the segments excluding centrally managed costs, and is also used for purposes of measuring the performance of our management team. Segment EBIT, however, may not be indicative of our overall consolidated performance and therefore, should be read in conjunction with our consolidated results of operations. Refer to Note 14 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a reconciliation of segment EBIT to income from continuing operations before income taxes. Amounts in the table below may not sum to the total due to rounding.

Small & Medium Business Solutions

During the quarter, Small & Medium Business Solutions revenue decreased 4% to $653 million and EBIT decreased 3% to $202 million, compared to the prior year. Foreign currency translation had a favorable impact on revenue of 3%. Within the Small & Medium Business Solutions group during the quarter:

North America Mailing revenue decreased 8% to $476 million compared to the prior year. Foreign currency translation had a less than 1% favorable impact on revenue. Equipment sales were down 9% as increased concerns about economic conditions resulted in customers delaying purchases of new equipment and extending leases of existing equipment. Lease extensions are profitable transactions but generate less revenue in the current period than new equipment sales. Lower equipment sales in prior periods is also driving a 9% decline in financing revenue. Rental, supplies and service revenues were 9%, 9% and 6% lower than prior year, respectively, primarily due to lower volumes and fewer placements of new meters. EBIT decreased 7% to $177 million, compared to the prior year due to the decline in revenue.

International Mailing revenue increased 7% to $178 million compared to the prior year, but was down 1% excluding the impact of foreign currency translation. Equipment sales decreased 3% due to lower sales in the UK and some parts of Europe because of increased concerns about economic conditions throughout the region. The decrease was partially offset by increased sales in France primarily due to a higher mix of equipment sales revenue compared to rentals revenue. EBIT increased 34% to $25 million compared to the prior year, primarily due to past and ongoing productivity initiatives. Foreign currency translation had a favorable impact of 7% on EBIT.

Enterprise Business Solutions

During the quarter, Enterprise Business Solutions revenue decreased 3% to $646 million but EBIT increased 6% to $75 million, compared to the prior year. Foreign currency translation had a positive impact on revenue of 1%. Within the Enterprise Business Solutions group during the quarter:

27

Production Mail revenue decreased 14% to $117 million compared to the prior year. Foreign currency translation had a positive impact of 2%. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to lower equipment sales as customers delayed capital investment decisions due to increased concerns about economic conditions. Production Mail EBIT was a loss of $3 million compared to $16 million in the prior year. EBIT in the quarter was primarily impacted by lower revenue and continuing investments in the development of Volly^TM, our secure digital mail delivery service.

Software revenue increased 15% over the prior year to $109 million. Foreign currency translation had a positive impact of 4%. The underlying increase was primarily due to higher licensing revenue in most regions, particularly North America and Asia Pacific. We continue to enter into multi-year software licensing agreements, which will provide improved recurring revenue streams in future periods. Software EBIT more than doubled to $17 million primarily due to the increase in licensing revenue and the benefits from past and ongoing productivity initiatives.

Management Services revenue decreased 4% to $235 million compared to the prior year. Foreign currency translation had a positive impact of 2%. EBIT decreased 22% to $18 million compared to the prior year. The decrease in revenue and EBIT was primarily due to account contractions and terminations in the U.S. last year, pricing pressure on contract renewals and lower volumes in Europe.

Mail Services revenue decreased 3% to $143 million primarily due to lower international shipping volumes and lost revenue of $2 million due to the residual effects of the fire at our Dallas mail presort facility. EBIT for the quarter more than doubled compared to the prior year to $35 million. EBIT included $18 million from insurance recoveries related to the Dallas fire and the remaining increase was primarily due to the benefits from past and ongoing productivity initiatives.

Marketing Services revenue increased 5% to $41 million compared to the prior year primarily due to higher vendor advertising. EBIT increased slightly compared to the prior year as margin improvements from productivity initiatives were partially offset by ongoing investments in our new online service.

28

Equipment sales

Equipment sales revenue decreased 10% to $221 million compared to the prior year. Foreign currency translation had a positive impact of 3%. The decrease was driven by increasing concern over the continuing global economic uncertainties causing customers to delay capital investment decisions. Equipment sales in our Small and Medium Business Solutions group declined 7% and Production Mail equipment sales declined over 30% compared to the prior year period. Cost of equipment sales as a percentage of revenue decreased to 44.0% compared to 46.1% in the prior year primarily due to the mix of higher margin product sales in the mailing businesses and lease extensions.

Supplies

Supplies revenue decreased 4% to $74 million compared to the prior year due to reduced mail volumes and fewer installed meters worldwide. Foreign currency translation had a positive impact of 3%. Cost of supplies as a percentage of revenue improved to 30.4% compared with 30.8% in the prior year.

Software

Software revenue increased 15% to $113 million compared to the prior year primarily due to higher licensing revenue in most regions, particularly North America and Asia Pacific. Foreign currency translation had a favorable impact of 3%. Cost of software as a percentage of revenue improved to 20.7% compared with 24.0% in the prior year due to an increase in high margin licensing revenue.

Rentals

Rentals revenue decreased 7% to $140 million compared to the prior year due to the continuing downsizing to smaller, fully featured machines by existing customers in the United States and fewer installed meters worldwide. Internationally, rentals revenue has been impacted by increased concerns about economic conditions and the higher mix of equipment sales revenue compared to rentals revenue in France. Foreign currency translation had a favorable impact of 2%. Cost of rentals as a percentage of revenue improved to 23.2% compared to 24.0% in the prior year due to lower depreciation from increased lease extensions.

Financing

Financing revenue decreased 5% to $150 million compared to the prior year due to lower equipment sales in prior periods. Foreign currency translation had a favorable impact of 2%.

Financing interest expense as a percentage of revenue increased to 14.3% compared to 14.1% in the prior year, principally due to a higher overall effective interest rate. In computing our financing interest expense, which represents our cost of borrowing associated with the generation of financing revenues, we assume a 10:1 leveraging ratio of debt to equity and apply our overall effective interest rate to the average outstanding finance receivables.

Support Services

Support services revenue of $175 million was flat compared to the prior year. Foreign currency translation had a 3% favorable impact. The underlying decrease in revenue is due to lower new mailing equipment placements in the United States. Cost of support services as a percentage of revenue increased to 65.1% compared with 63.4% in the prior year primarily due to a more complex installation process associated with the Connect+^TM product.

Business Services

Business services revenue decreased 3% to $425 million compared to the prior year. Foreign currency translation had a positive impact of 1%. The decrease is primarily driven by the loss of several large contracts in the U.S. during 2010 and reduced volumes in Europe. Cost of business services as a percentage of revenue increased to 76.8% compared with 76.3% in the prior year due to the reduction in revenue and pricing pressures on some of our larger contract renewals.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A)

SG&A expense decreased $5 million. Foreign currency translation increased SG&A by $11 million. The underlying decrease in SG&A of $16 million, or 4% is primarily due to the decrease in revenue. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A increased to 33.1% compared with 32.3% in the prior year.

Research and development

Research and development expense decreased $3 million, or 7% from the prior year due to cost reduction initiatives.

Restructuring charges and asset impairments

See Note 11 to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

29

Goodwill impairment

We perform our annual goodwill impairment test during the fourth quarter of each year, or sooner, if circumstances indicate an impairment may exist. Due to continuing underperformance of our IMS operations and in connection with the company’s long-term planning and budgeting process during the third quarter, management concluded that it was appropriate to perform a goodwill impairment review for IMS at September 30, 2011.

We determined the fair value of IMS using a combination of techniques including the present value of future cash flows, multiples of competitors and multiples from sales of like businesses. We derived the cash flow estimates from our historical experience and our long-term plans. We then allocated the implied fair value to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit as if it had just been acquired in a business combination. Based on our analysis, it was determined that the estimated fair value of IMS was less than its carrying value, and a goodwill impairment charge of $46 million was recognized during the third quarter.

Other income, net

Other income, net of $11 million is comprised of income of $18 million from the recognition of insurance proceeds in connection with the February 2011 fire at our Dallas presort mail facility partially offset by a pre-tax loss of $7 million on the sale of non-U.S. leveraged lease assets.

Income taxes

The benefit for income taxes for the quarter includes a $34 million tax benefit from the aforementioned sale of non-U.S. leveraged lease assets and a $16 million tax benefit arising from the findings of tax examinations. See Note 7 to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Total cost of revenue	$	1,960	$	1,975		49.8	%		49.5	%

Equipment sales

Equipment sales revenue decreased 1% to $706 million compared to the prior year. Foreign currency translation had a positive impact of 3%. The decline in equipment sales is due to increasing concerns over global economic conditions causing many customers to postpone capital investment decisions. Cost of equipment sales as a percentage of revenue was unchanged at 44.9% compared to the prior year.

Supplies

Supplies revenue decreased 2% to $236 million compared to the prior year due to reduced mail volumes and fewer installed meters worldwide. Foreign currency translation had a positive impact of 2%. Cost of supplies as a percentage of revenue increased to 31.5% compared with 30.6% in the prior year primarily due to the increasing mix of lower margin product sales worldwide.

Software

Software revenue increased 18% to $318 million compared to the prior year. Higher licensing revenue accounted for 9% of this increase while prior year acquisitions contributed 5% and foreign currency translation had a 4% favorable impact. Cost of software as a percentage of revenue improved to 23.1% compared with 24.4% in the prior year primarily due to the increase in high margin licensing revenue.

Rentals

Rentals revenue decreased 7% to $426 million compared to the prior year as customers in the U.S. continue to downsize to smaller, fully featured machines and fewer installed meters worldwide. Internationally, rentals revenue has been impacted by increased concerns about economic conditions and the higher mix of equipment sales revenue compared to rentals revenue in France. Foreign currency translation had a positive impact of 1%. Cost of rentals as a percentage of revenue improved to 23.0% compared with 23.6% in the prior year primarily due to lower depreciation associated with higher levels of lease extensions.

31

Financing

Financing revenue decreased 5% to $454 million compared to the prior year due to lower equipment sales in prior periods. Foreign currency translation had a favorable impact of 1%. Financing interest expense as a percentage of revenue increased to 14.7% compared to 13.8% in the prior year primarily due to higher overall effective interest rates.

Support Services

Support services revenue of $531 million was flat compared to the prior year. Foreign currency translation had a positive impact of 3%. The underlying decrease was driven by lower new equipment placements worldwide. Cost of support services as a percentage of revenue increased to 65.0% compared with 63.6% in the prior year primarily due to a more complex installation process associated with the Connect+^TM product.

Business Services

Business services revenue decreased 3% to $1,266 million compared to the prior year primarily due to the loss of several large contracts during 2010 and the impact of the fire at our Dallas mail presort facility. The impact of the Dallas fire accounted for 1% of the revenue decrease. Foreign currency translation and prior year acquisitions each had a 1% positive impact on revenue. Cost of business services as a percentage of revenue increased to 77.8% compared with 77.0% in the prior year primarily due to lower revenues and higher shipping costs in our International Mail Services operation.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A)

SG&A expense decreased $8 million. Foreign currency translation increased SG&A by $31 million and prior year acquisitions increased SG&A by $12 million. The underlying decrease in SG&A of $51 million, or 4%, was due to lower revenue. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A was 32.9% compared with 32.7% in the prior year.

Research and development

Research and development expense decreased $10 million, or 8% from the prior year due to cost reduction initiatives and the completion of development work for Connect+^TM, launched in May 2010.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We believe that cash flow from operations, existing cash and liquid investments, as well as borrowing capacity under our commercial paper program, the existing credit facility and debt capital markets should be sufficient to finance our capital requirements and to cover our customer deposits. Our potential uses of cash include, but are not limited to, growth and expansion opportunities; internal investments; customer financing; severance and benefits payments under our restructuring programs; income tax, interest and dividend payments; debt repayments, pension and other benefit plan funding; acquisitions; and share repurchases.

We continuously review our liquidity profile. We monitor for material changes in the creditworthiness of those banks acting as derivative counterparties, depository banks or credit providers to us through credit ratings and the credit default swap market. We have determined that there has not been a material variation in the underlying sources of cash flows currently used to finance the operations of the company. To date, we have had consistent access to the commercial paper market.

Cash Flow Summary

The change in cash and cash equivalents is as follows:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2011			2010
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	750		$	666
Net cash used in investing activities		(140	)		(276	)
Net cash used in financing activities		(374	)		(417	)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents		(5	)		—
Increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	231		$	(27	)

2011 Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities consists primarily of net income adjusted for non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Decreases in finance receivables and accounts receivables contributed $169 million and $113 million of cash, respectively. Due to declining equipment sales, finance receivables have declined as cash collections exceed the financing of new business. Similarly, accounts receivables have declined primarily due to cash collections in excess of new billings. In addition, the timing of tax payments and tax refunds received contributed $169 million. Partially offsetting these inflows was a special contribution to our U.S. pension plan of $123 million, restructuring payments of $78 million and payments of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $102 million.

Net cash used in investing activities consisted of capital expenditures of $123 million and the net purchase of investment securities of $100 million partially offset by the proceeds from the sale of non-U.S. leveraged lease assets of $102 million.

Net cash used in financing activities consisted primarily of dividends paid to common stockholders of $226 million, net payments of commercial paper borrowings of $50 million and the repurchase of $100 million of our common stock.

2010 Cash Flows

Cash provided by operating activities included decreases in finance receivable and accounts receivable balances of $169 million and $110 million, respectively. Due to declining equipment sales since 2008, our finance receivables portfolio has declined as strong cash collections exceed the financing of new business. Similarly, the decrease in accounts receivable is primarily due to strong cash collections in excess of new billings. Cash flow also benefited from the proceeds of $32 million from the unwinding of interest rate swaps related to a March 2008 debt issuance. Partially offsetting these factors was an increase in inventory of $31 million, payments of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $68 million and restructuring payments of $91 million.

Net cash used in investing activities consisted of the net purchase of investment securities of $113 million, acquisitions of $76 million and capital expenditures of $90 million.

Net cash used in financing activities included net payments on commercial paper borrowings of $89 million, dividends paid to common stockholders of $227 million and the repurchase of our common stock of $100 million.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 included additions to property, plant and equipment of $73 million and $45 million, respectively, and additions to rental equipment and related inventories of $50 million and $46 million, respectively. Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment were significantly higher this year compared to the prior year

33

due to the replacement of equipment destroyed by the fire at our Dallas presort mail facility. We have no material commitments for capital expenditures at September 30, 2011.

Financings and Capitalization

We are a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer with the SEC, which allows us to issue debt securities, preferred stock, preference stock, common stock, purchase contracts, depositary shares, warrants and units in an expedited fashion. We have a commercial paper program that is a significant source of liquidity for us and a committed line of credit of $1.25 billion which supports our commercial paper issuance. The line of credit expires in 2013. We have not experienced any problems to date in accessing the commercial paper market. As of September 30, 2011, the line of credit had not been drawn upon.

At September 30, 2011, there was no outstanding commercial paper. During the quarter ended September 30, 2011, borrowings under our commercial paper program averaged $182 million at a weighted-average interest rate of 0.21% and the maximum amount of commercial paper issued at any point in time during the quarter was $450 million.

There have been no significant changes to long-term debt since December 31, 2010. In April 2011, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional value of $450 million that effectively converted the fixed rate interest payments on our $450 million 4.875% notes due in 2014 into variable rates. Under the terms of these agreements, we pay a weighted-average variable rate based on three month LIBOR plus 305 basis points and receive fixed rate payments of 4.875%.

At September 30, 2011, we had $439 million of cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries. It is our intention to permanently reinvest these funds in our foreign operations and we do not currently foresee a need to repatriate these funds in order to fund our U.S. operations or obligations. However, if these funds are needed for our operations in the U.S., we could be required to pay additional U.S. taxes to repatriate these funds.

We expect to contribute approximately $130 million and $25 million to our U.S. and foreign pension plans, respectively in 2011. Through September 30, 2011, total contributions to our U.S. and foreign pension plans were $129 million and $18 million, respectively, which included a special contribution of $123 million to our U.S. plan. We will continue to assess our funding alternatives as the year progresses.

We believe our financing needs in the short and long-term can be met from cash generated internally, the issuance of commercial paper, debt issuances under our effective shelf registration statement, and borrowing capacity under our existing credit agreements.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There were no material changes to the disclosures made in the 2010 Annual Report regarding this matter.

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to reasonably assure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the direction of our CEO and CFO, we evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) and internal control over financial reporting. Our CEO and CFO concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2011, based on the evaluation of these controls and procedures required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act. In addition, no changes in internal control over financial reporting occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, such internal control over financial reporting. It should be noted that any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions designed to obtain reasonable (and not absolute) assurance as to its effectiveness, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals. Notwithstanding this caution, the disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their stated objectives, and the CEO and CFO have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level.

Repurchases of Equity Securities

We periodically repurchase shares of our common stock to manage the dilution created by shares issued under employee stock plans and for other purposes in the open market. In February 2011, our Board of Directors approved an increase of $100 million in our share repurchase authorization to $150 million. Through September 30, 2011, we repurchased 4,692,200 shares of our common stock at a total cost of $100 million. At September 30, 2011, we have remaining authorization to repurchase up to $50 million of our common stock.

The following table summarizes our share repurchase activity under active programs through September 30, 2011:

	Total number of shares purchased		Average price paid per share		Total number of shares purchased as part of a publicly announced plan		Approximate dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased under the plan (in thousands)
