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, 20182019 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, 20192020., particularly in light of the novel coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) and its effects on domestic and global businesses and economies. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report to Stockholders on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (20182019 (2019 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 Certain prior year amounts have been revisedreclassified to correct and conform to the current year presentation. As

The sale was completed in December 2019, with the income statementexception of the software business in Australia, which closed in January 2020. See Note 4 for the three months endedadditional information.
Accounts and other receivables includes other receivables of $61 million at June 30, 2018, we reduced cost of equipment sales by $12020 and $91 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 six6 smaller international markets within the International Mailing segment (Market Exits)Sending Technology Solutions (SendTech Solutions).

The December 31, 2018 balance sheet has been revisedeffects of COVID-19 on global economies and businesses continues to reduce short-term finance receivablesimpact how we conduct business and advance billingsour operating results, financial position and cash flows. There still remains uncertainty around the severity, duration and governments' responses to COVID-19, particularly in the United States as parts of the country are experiencing a resurgence in COVID-19 cases and taking actions to modify re-opening plans. Accordingly, we are not able to reasonably estimate the full extent of the impact of the pandemic on our operating results, financial position and liquidity for the remainder of the year. Actual results could differ significantly from our estimates and assumptions, possibly resulting in additional impairments or other charges in future reporting periods.
We assessed certain accounting matters that require the use of estimates, assumptions and consideration of forecasted financial information in context with the known and projected future impacts of COVID-19. The most significant impacts are included below.
The determination of our provision for credit losses is now impacted by $6 million.

changes in forecasted economic conditions (see Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2020 below). The impact of COVID-19 on January 1, 2019
On January 1, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 842, Leases (ASC 842), using the modified retrospective transition approachglobal economies and businesses resulted in an increased probability of applying the standard at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. Accordingly, prior period financial statements have been recastrecessionary conditions, delinquency rates 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

At December 31, 2019, the fair value 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 termGlobal Ecommerce business exceeded its carrying value by 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 adoption20%. The determination 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 equipmentfair value is based on a rangenumber of observable selling pricesestimates and assumptions, including, but not limed to, projected revenue growth, profitability and cash flows. During the first quarter of 2020, our Global Ecommerce business experienced weaker than expected performance in standalone transactions. We recognize revenue from the sale of equipment under sales-type leases as equipment sales revenue when control of the equipment transferspart due to the customer, which is upon shipmentmacroeconomic conditions resulting from COVID-19. As a result, we evaluated the Global Ecommerce goodwill for self-installed productsimpairment and upon installation or customer acceptance for other products. We do not typically offer any rightsrecorded a non-cash, pre-tax goodwill impairment charge 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. The ASU sets forth a current expected credit loss model, which requires companies to measure expected credit losses for all financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonably supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. This standard is effective beginning January 1, 2020. We have completed the scoping of financial assets that will be impacted by the standard and are$198 million in the processfirst quarter of developing models to measure expected credit losses. We are continuing to assess the impact this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

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

Accounts receivable greater than 365 days past due, subject to certain exceptions, are written off against the allowance, although collection efforts may continue.

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

Segment EBIT excludes interest, taxes, general corporate expenses, restructuring charges, asset impairment charges and other items not allocated to a particular business segment. Management believes that it provides investors a useful measure of operating performance and underlying trends of the business.

7. Finance Assets and Lessor Operating Leases
Finance Assets
Finance receivables are comprised of sales-type lease receivables and unsecured revolving loan receivables. Sales-type lease receivables are generally due in monthly, quarterly or semi-annual installments over periods ranging from three to five years. Loan receivables arise primarily from financing services offered to our clients for postage and supplies. LoanMost 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:

Allowance for Credit Losses
We provideestimate an allowance for probable credit losses based on historical loss experience, the nature and volume of our portfolios, adverse situations that may affect a client's ability to pay, prevailingcurrent conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts and current economic outlook. Credit losses are estimated at the portfolio level based on asset type and geographic market. Historical loss experience was based on actual loss rates over the average term of the asset of five years for sales-type lease receivables and three years for loan receivables (including accrued interest). Additionally, we evaluate current conditions and our abilityreview third-party economic forecasts on a quarterly basis to managedetermine the collateral. We continually evaluate the adequacy ofimpact on the allowance for credit losses and make adjustments as necessary.losses. The assumptions used in determining an estimate of credit losses are inherently subjective and actual results may differ significantly from estimated reserves. The allowance for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 considers the current economic conditions and resulting impact on a client's future ability to pay amounts due.

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 monitor delinquency rates and have experienced a slight increase in our delinquencies during this current economic situation. However, we believe that our finance receivable credit risk is low because of the geographic and industry diversification of our clients and small account balances for most of our clients.

Credit Quality
The extension of credit and management of credit lines to new and existing clients uses a combination of an automateda client's credit score, where available, and a detailed manual review of the client'stheir financial condition and when applicable, payment history.history or an automated process for certain small dollar applications. Once credit is granted, the payment performance of the client is managed through automated collections processes and is supplemented with direct follow up should an account become delinquent. We have robust automated collections and extensive portfolio management processes. The portfolio management processes 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 thefinancial information, payment history, company type and ownership structure, payment history and financial information.structure. A fourth class is shown for accounts that are not scored. Absence of a score is not indicative of the credit quality of the account. The degree of risk (low, medium, high), as defined by the third party, refers to the relative risk that an account may become delinquent in the next 12 months.
Low risk accounts are companies with very good credit scores and are considered to approximate the top 30% of all commercial borrowers.
Medium risk accounts are companies with average to good credit scores and are considered to approximate the middle 40% of all commercial borrowers.
High risk accounts are companies with poor credit scores, are delinquent or are at risk of becoming delinquent and are considered to approximate the bottom 30% of all commercial borrowers.

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

In JanuaryDuring the first quarter of 2020, our Global Ecommerce reporting unit experienced weaker than expected performance, in part due to the macroeconomic conditions resulting from COVID-19. At December 31, 2019, the fair value of our Global Ecommerce business exceeded its carrying value by less than 20%, and the deteriorating macroeconomic conditions and uncertainty brought on by COVID-19 caused us to evaluate the Global Ecommerce goodwill for impairment.
To test the Global Ecommerce goodwill for impairment, we wrote off $10 milliondetermined the fair value of the Global Ecommerce reporting unit and compared it to the reporting unit's carrying value, including goodwill. We engaged a third-party to assist in the determination of the fair value of the reporting unit. The determination of fair value, and the resulting impairment charge, relied on internal projections developed using numerous estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties. These estimates and assumptions included revenue growth, profitability, cash flows, capital spending and other available information. The determination of fair value also incorporated a risk-adjusted discount rate, terminal growth rates and other assumptions that market participants may use. Changes in any of these estimates or assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and the associated goodwill associated with Market Exits.

impairment charge and could result in an additional impairment charge in the future. These estimates and assumptions are considered Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited; table amounts in thousands unless otherwise noted, except per share amounts)

We determined that the reporting unit's estimated fair value was less than its carrying value and recorded a non-cash, pre-tax goodwill impairment charge of $198 million in the first quarter to reduce the carrying value of the Global Ecommerce reporting unit to its estimated fair value.

Other Assets
During the second quarter of 2020, we surrendered certain company owned life insurance policies and received proceeds of $46 million. We did not record a gain or loss on the surrender; however, the surrender resulted in a tax expense of $12 million (see Note 13 for further information). Also, during the second quarter of 2020, we sold our interest in an equity investment for $12 million and recognized a gain of $12 million.

9. Fair Value Measurements and Derivative Instruments
We measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity-specific measure. An entity is required to classify certain assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on the following fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value:
Level 1
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2
Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, may be derived from internally developed methodologies based on management’s best estimate of fair value and that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability.
Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect its placement within the fair value hierarchy. The following tables show, by level within the fair value hierarchy, our financial assets and liabilities that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.basis.

Investment Securities
The valuation of investment securities is based on the market approach using inputs that are observable, or can be corroborated by observable data, in an active marketplace. The following information relates to our classification into the fair value hierarchy:
Money Market Funds / Commercial Paper:Funds: Money market funds typically invest in government securities, certificates of deposit, commercial paper and other highly liquid, low risk securities. Money market funds are principally used for overnight deposits and are classified as Level 1 when unadjusted quoted prices in active markets are available and as Level 2 when they are not actively traded on an exchange. 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-SaleDerivative Securities
Foreign Exchange Contracts: The valuation of foreign exchange derivatives is based on the market approach using observable market inputs, such as foreign currency spot and forward rates and yield curves. We have not seen a material change in the creditworthiness of those banks acting as derivative counterparties. These securities are classified as Level 2.
Interest Rate Swaps: The valuation of interest rate swaps is based on an income approach using inputs that are observable or that can be derived from, or corroborated by, observable market data. These securities are classified as Level 2.
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
Available-for-sale securities are predominantly held at the Pitney Bowes Bank, whose primary business is to provide financing solutions to clients that rent postage meters and purchase supplies. Investment securities classified as available-for-sale are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value due to market conditions (i.e. interest rates) recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) and changes in fair value due to credit conditions recorded in earnings. Individual securities are considered impaired when the fair value declines below amortized cost. We use a discounted cash flow model to determine the amount of unrealized losses due to credit losses. Unrealized losses recorded during the period due to credit conditions were immaterial.

Available-for-sale securities at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 consisted of the following:

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

The scheduled maturities of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may not coincide with the actual payment, as borrowers have the right to prepay obligations.
We have not experienced any significant write-offs in our investment portfolio. The majority of our mortgage-backed securities are either guaranteed or supported by the U.S. Government. We have no investments in inactive markets that would warrant a possible change in our pricing methods or classification within the fair value hierarchy.


Held-to-Maturity Securities
PITNEY BOWES INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited; table amounts in thousands unless otherwise noted, except per share amounts)
Held-to-maturity securities at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, include $257 million and $383 million, respectively, of short-term, highly liquid time deposits. Due to the short-term nature of these securities, the carrying value approximates fair value.

Derivative Instruments
In the normal course of business, we are exposed to the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. We mitigate these exposures by following established risk management policies and procedures, including the use of derivatives. We use derivative instruments to limit the effects of exchange rate fluctuations on financial results and manage the cost of debt. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. We record derivative instruments at fair value and the accounting for changes in the fair value depends on the intended use of the derivative, the resulting designation and the effectiveness of the instrument in offsetting the risk exposure it is designed to hedge.
Foreign Exchange Contracts
We enter into foreign exchange contracts to mitigate the currency risk associated with the anticipated purchase of inventory between affiliates and from third parties. These contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. The effective portion of the gain or loss on cash flow hedges is included in AOCI in the period that the change in fair value occurs and is reclassified to earnings in the period that the hedged item is recorded in earnings. No amount of ineffectiveness was recorded in earnings for these designated cash flow hedges. At both June 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, 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.

Credit-Risk-Related Contingent Features
Certain derivative instruments contain credit-risk-related contingent features that require us to post collateral based on a combination of our long-term senior unsecured debt ratings and the net fair value of our derivatives. 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:

Interest rates on certain notes are subject to adjustment based on changes in our credit ratings. In April 2019, Moody's lowered our corporateAs a result of credit rating from Ba1 to Ba2. As a result,downgrades in November 2019 and May 2020, the interest rates on the October 2021 notes and April 2023 notes increased 0.50% and the interest rate on the May 2022 notes increased 0.25% in the quarter and0.75%. Further, the interest rates on the September 2020 notes, October 2021 notes and April 2023 notes will increase an additional 0.25% effective afterin the nextfourth quarter of 2020.
In February 2020, we secured a five-year $850 million term loan maturing January 2025 (the 2025 Term Loan). The 2025 Term Loan bears interest payment date.at LIBOR plus 5.5% and resets monthly. In May 2020, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $500 million to mitigate the interest rate risk associated with $500 million of our variable-rate term loans. Under the terms of the swap agreements, we pay fixed-rate interest of 0.4443% and receive variable-rate interest based on one-month LIBOR. The variable interest rate under the term loans and the swaps reset monthly.
In March 2020, we purchased under a tender offer $428 million of the October 2021 notes, $250 million of the May 2022 notes, $125 million of the April 2023 notes and $125 million of the March 2024 notes. A $37 million loss was incurred on the early redemption of debt.
During the first half of 2019,2020, we repaid $25$21 million of principal related to our term loans.
We have a $500 million secured revolving credit facility that expires in November 2024 and contains financial and non-financial covenants. In April 2020, in light of the current macroeconomic environment, we drew down $100 million under the credit facility as a precautionary measure. This borrowing is considered short-term as the amount is due and interest resets monthly. At June 30, 2020, we were in compliance with all covenants.

(1) Approximately $0.7$2.6 million and $0.3$0.5 million of total settlement charges were recorded in discontinued operations and restructuring charges, and discontinued operations, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

13. Income Taxes
The effective tax rate2020 and approximately $0.3 million and $0.7 million of total settlement charges were recorded in discontinued operations and restructuring charges, respectively, 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.2019.
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.

13. Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was 101.8% and (3.3)%, respectively and includes a $12 million charge for the surrender of company owned life insurance policies (see Note 8). The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 also includes a benefit of $2 million on the $198 million goodwill impairment charge as the majority of this charge is nondeductible, a benefit of $2 million from the resolution of certain tax examinations and a charge of $3 million for the write-off of deferred tax assets associated with the expiration of out-of-money vested stock options and the vesting of restricted stock.
The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was 11.3% and 30.1%, respectively, and includes benefits from the resolution of certain tax examinations of $3 million and $6 million, respectively. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 also includes a $2 million tax on the $18 million book loss incurred from the disposition of operations in certain international markets, primarily due to nondeductible basis differences and a charge of $2 million for the write-off of deferred tax assets associated with the expiration of out-of-money vested stock options and the vesting of restricted stock.
As is the case with other large corporations, our tax returns are examined by tax authorities in the U.S. and other global taxing jurisdictions in which we have operations. As a result, it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will decrease in the next 12 months, and this decrease could be up to 30%10% of our unrecognized tax benefits.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) examinations of our consolidated U.S. income tax returns for tax years prior to 2017 are closed to audit; however, various post-2011 U.S. state and local tax returns are still subject to examination. In Canada, the examination of our tax filings prior to 20142015 are closed to audit. Other significant jurisdictions include France (closed through 2014)2016), Germany (closed through 2016) and the U.K. (except for an item under appeal, closed(closed through 2016)2017). We also have other less significant tax filings currently subject to examination.

14. Commitments and Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, we are routinely defendants in, or party to, a number of pending and threatened legal actions. These may involve litigation by or against us relating to, among other things, contractual rights under vendor, insurance or other contracts; intellectual property or patent rights; equipment, service, payment or other disputes with clients; or disputes with employees. Some of these actions may be brought as a purported class action on behalf of a purported class of employees, customers or others. In management's opinion, the potential liability, if any, that may result from these actions, either individually or collectively, is not reasonably expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows as of June 30, 2019.2020. 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 two2 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 outcomesBoth of these are inherently unpredictable, we believe these matters are without meritderivative claims related to a prior action filed in Connecticut state court, City of Livonia Retiree Health and intendDisability Benefits Plan v. Pitney Bowes Inc. et al. (“Livonia”). On October 24, 2019, the court had granted the defendants’ motions to defend them vigorously. A reasonable estimate ofdismiss the amount of any possible loss or range of loss cannot be made at this time.

15. Leased AssetsLivonia case, and Liabilitiesthat judgment is now final. Given that the defendants prevailed in the Livonia action, the plaintiffs in the Clem and Devolin actions moved to withdraw their complaints, and on February 20, 2020 the court granted the motions. Both cases have now been dismissed.
We lease real estate andhave entered into 3 equipment under operating and finance lease agreements. Our leases have terms of up to 15 years, some of which may includefor our Commerce Services operations that will commence in 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. Information regarding our operating and financing leases are as follows:

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) contains statements that are forward-looking. We want to caution readers that any forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 (Securities Act) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) may change based on various factors. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results could differ materially. Words such as "estimate," "target," "project," "plan," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend" and similar expressions may identify such forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q speak only as of the date hereof, and forward-looking statements in documents attached that are incorporated by reference speak only as of the date of those documents.

Overview
Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification 842, Leases, 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 results have been recast (see Note 1).
We continue our transformation to higher growth markets that align with our focus on reducing the complexity of mailing and shipping. Commerce Services was the largest contributor of revenue and accounted for 48% of revenue for the current quarter compared to 42% from the prior year period.
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). We recorded a pre-tax loss on the sale of $18 million, primarily due to the write-off of cumulative translation adjustments.

Revenue decreased 1% from the prior year period; however, this included a 2% unfavorable impact from Market Exits and an additional 1% unfavorable impact from foreign currency. Software revenue declined 21% in the quarter due to a lower level of license renewals. Supplies revenue declined 16% due to a worldwide decline in our mailing business. Business services revenue increased 13% due to growth in Commerce Services, partially offsetting these declines.
Commerce Services revenue grew 13%, driven by growth of 18% in Global Ecommerce and 4% in Presort Services. Small and Medium Business (SMB) Solutions revenue declined 8%, with North America Mailing declining 5% and International Mailing declining 20%. Market Exits and currency adversely impacted International Mailing revenue by 12% and 5%, respectively. Software Solutions revenue declined 21%.
Segment EBIT declined 20% from the prior year period as Software Solutions EBIT declined 89%, primarily due to a lower level of license renewals. Within Commerce Services, Global Ecommerce reported an EBIT loss of $16 million compared to a loss of $6 million in the prior year, driven by a shift in the mix of business to faster growing, lower margin services and investments in market growth opportunities. Presort EBIT increased 23%, primarily due to higher volumes and revenue per piece improvement. SMB EBIT declined 6% due to the decline in revenue and impact of Market Exits.
Income from continuing operations declined in the quarter, primarily due to a decline in gross margins and revenue. This decline was partially offset by lower operating expenses and a lower effective tax rate.

Second Quarter Highlights
We drew down $100 million under our revolving credit facility as a precautionary measure and revenueinvested these proceeds in highly liquid, short-term investments.
We surrendered certain company owned life insurance (COLI) policies and sold our interest in an equity investment for aggregate proceeds of $58 million. We recognized a gain of $12 million on the sale of the equity investment and while the surrender of the COLI policies did not result in a pre-tax gain or loss, the surrender resulted in a $12 million tax charge.
We also received insurance proceeds of $18$5 million related to the October 2019 malware attack that temporarily disrupted customer access to some services.
In May 2020, we were affected by a Maze ransomware attack. Although the Maze attackers were able to exfiltrate a small amount of our confidential data, working with our third-party security consultants, we were able to successfully thwart the attack before any of our operations could be disrupted or any data encrypted. The attempted attack did not have any impact on our financial results, and we satisfied all regulatory obligations arising out of the attack.
Impacts of COVID-19
The global spread of COVID-19 and the efforts to contain it adversely affected the U.S. and international economies, impacting demand for a broad variety of goods and services, creating disruptions and shortages in global supply chains and causing significant volatility in financial markets. Our employees worldwide that have the ability to work remotely are doing so. Our facilities continue to operate, and many employees continue to report to work at these facilities. We have implemented additional measures to protect the health and safety of our employees and contractors, including staggering shifts and breaks to enhance social distancing, providing personal protection equipment, conducting temperature checks and sanitizing equipment and facilities multiple times a day.
COVID-19 has impacted our financial results in different ways in each of our businesses. In Global Ecommerce, we saw significantly higher volumes in the quarter due to the demand for ecommerce solutions in the current environment. In Presort Services, First Class and Marketing Mail volumes have declined due to lower market demand and changing client behaviors in the current environment. As a result of the additional health and safety measures implemented in all our Commerce Services facilities, we have incurred, and will continue to incur, additional costs and reduced productivity.
In SendTech Solutions, the global shut-down of businesses and increase in the number of clients working remotely significantly adversely impacted demand for and usage of our mailing equipment and supplies, as well as our ability to contact and service clients and perform on-site installations. Despite the negative impacts of COVID-19, we saw improving trends in equipment sales and supplies revenues as we exited the quarter. Also, as businesses continue to operate remotely, we are seeing improvement in our cloud-enabled shipping and mailing solutions.
In March 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act was passed into law in response to market volatility and instability resulting from Market Exits.

COVID-19. The CARES Act includes provisions relating to the deferment of the employer portion of certain payroll taxes, net operating loss carryback periods and modifications to the net interest deduction limitations. We continue to assess the impact of these provisions; which we believe could affect the timing of certain cash payments but not materially impact our financial position or results of operations.
Outlook
WeThe severity, duration and governmental responses of COVID-19 are taking actions thatuncertain, and we expectare not able to reasonably estimate the full extent of the impact on our operating results, liquidity, cash flows or financial position for the remainder of the year. As COVID-19 continues to affect global economies and how businesses operate, we will set the foundation to drive long-term value, including new client value offerings and spend optimization. We expect revenue to continue to grow as we transformtake proactive measures to protect the health and safety of our portfolioemployees, clients, partners and suppliers. These additional safety measures will result in additional expenses and reduced productivity. Corporate and local management will continue to growth markets.assess conditions to determine when, or how, employees currently working remotely should return to office locations.
Our Commerce Services businesses are more demand-driven and it is difficult to predict how demand and volumes will trend and the impact to productivity throughout the duration of COVID-19. Within Global Ecommerce, we expect continued revenue growth from our investments in the expansion of our domestic parcel business and domestic shipping solutions. We anticipate higher shippingdelivery volumes during the second half of 2019 as we enter the holiday season. We expect revenue and EBIT growth in Presort Serviceshave increased significantly due to higher volumes, improving margins and operational efficiencies.
In SMB Solutions,a global market shift to ecommerce solutions. While we expect continued declines in revenue due to lower mail volumes, lower lease opportunities and a declining meter population. However, we expectcannot predict the magnitude of volume increases, we expect


this shift to continue throughout the decline to be mitigated byremainder of the introduction ofyear. We signed on over 100 new services and products, the continued success of our SendPro C product in North America, planned launches in several international markets and by identifying opportunities through natural adjacenciesclients in the business. EBITsecond quarter and equipment sales margins have been impacted by trade tariffs, and we expectvolumes from these tariffs to continue to adversely impact the SMB business inclients will benefit the second half of the year.
We Cross-border volumes are now offering expanded third-party equipment financing alternatives, primarilystill experiencing declines and we expect this to our existing SMB clientscontinue as long as there are restrictions on international shipments. The sudden and significant increase in volumes resulted in higher labor and postal costs in the United States, to finance or lease other manufacturers' equipment to meet their business needs. We expect that cash flows will be negatively impacted during the yearsecond quarter as we investneeded to react quickly to process and deliver these parcels. However, the higher volumes resulted in the origination of third-party equipment leasesscale-related benefits in per unit transportation and build a finance receivable portfolio.
Within Software Solutions, we expect continued benefits from our partner channel. We expect revenue growth will be driven by a combination of sales opportunities from customer information, location intelligence, data and customer engagement.
warehousing costs. We expect continued progressimprovements in our effortsper unit transportation and warehousing costs as volumes increase and improvements in per unit labor costs as the business sizes itself to handle the higher volumes.
In Presort Services, approximately 80% of mail volumes processed are First Class Mail with the remaining 20% primarily Marketing Mail. There were declines in mail volumes from the onset of COVID-19; however, these volume declines started to moderate as we exited the second quarter. For the remainder of the year, we expect volumes of First Class Mail and Marketing Mail to be lower compared to the prior year. As businesses begin to re-open and clients return to their normal behaviors, we expect volumes to improve productivityfrom current levels; however, the timing and reduce spend. Overmagnitude of this improvement would be contingent on the last five years,severity and duration of COVID-19. While currently a small part of total volumes, volumes in Marketing Mail Flats and Bound Printed Matter grew over 30% in the second quarter and we have transformedanticipate these volumes will continue to grow throughout the remainder of the year.
Within SendTech Solutions, approximately two-thirds of revenue is recurring in nature and materially contributes to our cash flows. Nonrecurring revenues, primarily equipment sales and to a more digital operating model and have reduced our cost structure. In 2017, we announced our intention to reduce gross spend by $200 million over a 24-month period. We achieved over $150 million of this target in 2018 and expect to recognize the remainder in 2019. A large portion of these gross savings has been, andlesser extent, supplies, will continue to be reinvestedadversely impacted by COVID-19 due to declining demand and usage. We are unable to predict the duration and magnitude of these declines or determine when, or if, demand and usage will return to normal levels; however, we would expect to see improving trends as more businesses start to re-open. As a result of clients working remotely and the necessity of alternate solutions, we saw an improvement in our cloud-enabled shipping and mailing solutions during the business, particularlysecond quarter and expect this shift in Commerce Servicesmarket preference to continue as clients realize the value of our digital capabilities. We continue to monitor cash collections from our recurring revenue streams. There was an increase in delinquency rates during the second quarter that was in-line with our expectations, but we are starting to see an improvement in delinquency rates and positive changes in customer payment behaviors. There are no assurances that this improvement in delinquency rates and payment behaviors will continue, or that the impacts of COVID-19 will not result in higher client bankruptcies or account write-offs.
Before the onset of COVID-19 and the resulting economic decline, we had taken steps to reduce and refinance debt, improve liquidity and strengthen our third-party equipment financing initiative.balance sheet that we believe will enable us to manage through the current economic downturn. We are taking further actions to manage cash flows and maintain liquidity, including, but not limited to, prioritizing our capital expenditures to essential and necessary investments and reducing targeted loan originations at Wheeler Financial. We estimate that these actions alone will benefit annual cash flows by approximately $75 million. Refer to the Liquidity and Capital Resources section for further information.

In thisour revenue discussion, we may refer to revenue growth on a constant currency basis. Constant currency measures exclude the impact of changes in currency exchange rates since the prior period under comparison. We believe that excluding the impacts of currency exchange rates provides a better understanding of the underlying revenue performance. Constant currency change is calculated by converting the current period non-U.S. dollar denominated revenue using the prior year’s exchange rate. Where constant currency measures are not provided, the actual change and constant currency change are the same.  
Equipment salesManagement measures segment profitability and performance using segment earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT). Segment EBIT is calculated by deducting from segment revenue the related costs and expenses attributable to the segment. Segment EBIT excludes interest, taxes, general corporate expenses, restructuring charges, asset impairment charges, goodwill impairment charges and other items not allocated to a particular business segment. Management believes that it provides investors a useful measure of operating performance and underlying trends of the business. Segment EBIT may not be indicative of our overall consolidated performance and therefore, should be read in conjunction with our consolidated results of operations.

Global Ecommerce revenue increased 41% in the second quarter of 2020 due to significant growth in domestic parcel delivery volumes driven in part, by the market shift to ecommerce solutions as a result of COVID-19, and higher digital domestic and fulfillment services volumes. This volume growth contributed revenue growth of 47%, while a decline in domestic returns and cross-border volumes contributed a 6% decline in revenue.
Gross margin decreased 9% as reported and 7% at constant currency. Equipment salesto 10.7% from 15.4% in North America Mailing accounted for 5% of the decrease,prior year primarily due to lower saleshigher labor, postage and other incremental costs driven by COVID-19.
Segment EBIT for the second quarter of our bottom-of-the-line products. International Mailing equipment sales accounted for 2%2020 was a loss of $19 million compared to a loss of $16 million in the decline, mainlyprior year period. The increased loss was primarily driven by incremental costs associated with COVID-19 including higher credit loss expense of $6 million, higher labor and postal costs of $3 million due to Market Exits.the rapid increase in volumes and incremental costs of $1 million related to sanitizing and safety measures. Segment EBIT margin of (4.7)% improved from the prior year period reflecting scale-related benefits in transportation and warehouse costs offset by increased labor and postal costs driven by COVID-19.

At this time, we believe that existing cash and investments, cash generated from operations and borrowing capacity through the capital marketsunder our $500 million revolving credit facility will be sufficient to supportfund our current cash needs including discretionary uses such as capital investments, dividends, strategic acquisitions and share repurchases. Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were $831 million at June 30, 2019 and $927 million at December 31, 2018.for the next 12 months.

Dividends and Share Repurchases
In February 2019, our Board of Directors approved an incremental $100 million for share repurchases, raising our authorization level to $121 million. During the first half of 2019, we repurchased 17.4 million shares at an aggregate cost of $100 million. At June 30, 2019, we had remaining authorization to repurchase up to $21 million of our common shares. Also, during the first half of the year, we paid dividends of $18 million. Each quarter, our Board of Directors considers our recent and projected earnings and other capital needs and priorities in deciding whether to approve the payment, as well as the amount, of a dividend. There are no material restrictions on our ability to declare dividends. We expect to continue to pay a quarterly dividend, however; in light of COVID-19 and the current macroeconomic conditions, no assurances can be given.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Goodwill impairment review
Based onDuring the year-to-date operating resultsfirst quarter of 2020, our Global Ecommerce reporting unit we performed a goodwill impairment testexperienced weaker than expected performance, in part due to assess the adequacy ofmacroeconomic conditions resulting from COVID-19. At December 31, 2019, the carrying value of goodwill. As a result of our test, we determined that the estimated fair value of the reporting unitour Global Ecommerce business exceeded its carrying value by less than 20%. The assumptions used and the deteriorating macroeconomic conditions and uncertainty brought on by COVID-19 caused us to estimateevaluate the Global Ecommerce goodwill for impairment.
To test the Global Ecommerce goodwill for impairment, we determined the fair value were based on projections incorporated in our current operating plans as well as other available information. By their nature, projections are uncertain. Potential events and circumstances, such as declining revenue, loss of client contracts and inability to acquire new clients could have an adverse effect on our assumptions.
The goodwill balance related to the Global Ecommerce reporting unit at June 30, 2019and compared it to the reporting unit's carrying value, including goodwill. We engaged a third-party to assist in the determination of the fair value of the reporting unit. The determination of fair value, and the resulting impairment charge, relied on internal projections developed using numerous estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties. These estimates and assumptions included revenue growth, profitability, cash flows, capital spending and other available information. The determination of fair value also incorporated a risk-adjusted discount rate, terminal growth rates and other assumptions that market participants may use. Changes in any of these estimates or assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and the associated goodwill impairment charge and could result in an additional impairment charge to be recorded in the future. These estimates and assumptions are considered Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy.
We determined that the reporting unit's estimated fair value was $609 million. We will continueless than its carrying value and recorded a non-cash, pre-tax goodwill impairment charge of $198 million in the first quarter to monitor and evaluatereduce the carrying value of goodwill for thisthe Global Ecommerce reporting unit and should facts and circumstances change, a non-cash impairment charge could be recorded in the future.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There were no material changes to the disclosures made in our 20182019 Annual Report.
Item 4: Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure 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 Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to reasonably ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), to allow timely decisions regarding disclosures.
With the participation of our CEO and CFO, management evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) and internal controls over financial reporting. Our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, such disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods. In addition, no changes in internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter covered by this report that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, such internal control over financial reporting. Further, we have not experienced any material impact to our internal controls over financial reporting given that most of our employees are working remotely due to COVID-19. We are continually monitoring and assessing the COVID-19 situation on our internal controls to minimize the impact to their design and operating effectiveness.
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 CEO and CFO have reasonable assurance that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2019.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1: Legal Proceedings
See Note 14 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Item 1A: Risk Factors
There were no material changes to the risk factors identified in our 20182019 Annual Report. However, we are supplementing the risk factors described in Item 1A of our 2019 Annual Report with the following additional risk factor:
Our operations and financial performance are being affected and will continue to be affected by the global coronavirus outbreak. The duration and severity of the COVID-19 crisis is unknown and constantly changing, and a prolonged duration of this crisis or a reoccurrence of COVID-19 or other similar virus in the future could have a significantly material effect on our operations, financial condition and liquidity
The COVID-19 pandemic is negatively impacting, and is expected to continue to negatively impact, our business, operations and financial performance. Given the unpredictability of the severity, magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, including various governments’ responses to the pandemic, and its effect on the global economy, the ultimate impact of the pandemic on our business, operations and financial performance remains uncertain. There are many factors, not within our control, which could affect the pandemic’s ultimate outcome on our business and our ability to execute our business strategies and initiatives in the expected time frame. These include, but are not limited to: government, businesses and individuals’ actions in response to the pandemic; an acceleration of the decline on the use of physical mail; the impact of the pandemic on the global economy and economic activity; the changing spending habits of consumers and businesses; disruptions in global supply chains; and significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. A prolonged duration of this crisis or a reoccurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic could exacerbate the impact on our business, operations and financial performance. It is also uncertain the extent to which the COVID-19 will permanently affect aspects of the economy to the detriment of our business, including:

The dramatic acceleration in the decline of physical mail volume in the geographies in which we operate, which adversely affects both our Presort Services and SendTech Solutions businesses. We cannot yet assess the extent to which these declines in mail volumes, and resulting impact to our business, are permanent or temporary. Further detail on the risk of physical mail volume decline, including an acceleration of that decline, is described in the risk factor in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the 2019 Annual Report) relating to the “The Continuing Decline in the Volume of Physical Mail Delivered via Traditional Postal Services”.
The adverse effect that declines in physical mail are having on the financial health of posts around the world, especially that of the United States Postal Service. If these financial difficulties are not resolved, or if any resolution requires them to operate differently, price in a manner that hurts their competitiveness or reduces postal volume, or causes them to change their contractual relationships with their partners or vendors, these changes could have a material adverse effect on our business. Further detail on this risk is described in the risk factor in our 2019 Annual Report related to “Significant Disruptions to Postal Operations”.
Significant declines in the retail industry caused by the pandemic. Although our Global Ecommerce business has seen an increase in volume of packages in the short-term, should there be a long-term change in consumer sentiment or purchasing habits it could have a material effect on our retail clients, including some of our largest clients, which could have an adverse impact on our financial performance. Further detail on this risk is described in the risk factor in our 2019 Annual Report related to “Material Change in Consumer Sentiment or Spending Habits”.
The decline in frequency of long-distance airplane flights has increased the costs of, and therefore the demand for, products purchased in our Global Ecommerce service’s cross-border business.
The effect that social distancing rules and heightened security policies have inhibited, and will continue to inhibit, our ability to sell products and provide services to our clients, fulfill orders and install equipment on a timely basis and market to prospective new clients.
Increased costs and reduced labor productivity associated with extended safety protocols, including sanitizing facilities and equipment multiple times a day, implemented in our facilities and incremental costs that may be required to hire temporary labor or redirect volumes to other facilities.
We could experience further increases in delinquencies in collections and bankruptcies in our clients, which could affect our cash flow. Client requests for potential payment deferrals or other contract modifications could also reduce the profitability or ongoing cash flow from some of our current customers.


Given the severity of the pandemic, the business continuity plans of our suppliers and third-party service providers may not be sufficient to enable them to satisfy their obligations to us. If they are unable to satisfy these obligations, it could affect our ability to satisfy service or sales obligations to our clients, or it may affect other aspects of our internal operations. Further detail on this risk is described in the risk factor in our 2019 Annual Report related to “Third-party Suppliers and Outsource Providers”.
A prolonged period of generating lower earnings or cash from operations could result in additional credit rating downgrades, higher costs of borrowing, or limit our access to additional debt. Further detail on this risk is described in the risk factor in our 2019 Annual Report related to “Future Credit Rating Downgrades or Capital Market Disruptions”.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to adversely affect our business, operations and financial performance, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in the risk factors in our 2019 Annual Report, including the risks described above. Further, the COVID-19 pandemic may also affect our business, operations and financial performance in a manner that is not presently known to us.
