Forward-looking statements can be identified by words including "expect," "believe," "anticipate," "estimate," "may," "will," "would," "could," "goal," "project," "target," "envision" or other similar words, phrases, or expressions.

Forward- looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Factors which could cause future financial performance to differ materially from our goals or expectations include, without limitation, unanticipated obstacles to implementation of the Company's financial and operational goals and targets, unanticipated costs and expenses arising from the Company's business strategies (including the review of the Global Ecommerce business), unanticipated effects of the Company's financial and operational goals on the Company's ongoing business, the ultimate success of the Global Ecommerce strategic review; delays to the Company's ability to complete its strategic review and other planned financial and operational improvements on time or at all, changes in management's assumptions and plans, declining physical mail volumes; changes in postal regulations or the operations and financial health of posts in the U.S. or other major markets or changes to the broader postal or shipping markets; our ability to continue to grow and manage unexpected fluctuations in volumes, gain additional economies of scale and improve profitability within our business; the loss of some of our larger clients; the loss of, or significant changes to, United States Postal Service (USPS) commercial programs, or our contractual relationships with the USPS or their performance under those contracts; the impacts of higher interest rates and the potential for future interest rate increases on our cost of debt; and other factors as more fully outlined in the Company's 2023 Form 10-K Annual Report and other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission during 2024.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
Our financial results are reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). We also disclose certain non-GAAP measures, such as adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (Adjusted EBIT). Adjusted EBIT excludes the impact of restructuring charges, goodwill impairment charges, foreign currency gains and losses on intercompany loans, gains, losses and costs related to acquisitions and dispositions, gains and losses on debt redemptions and other unusual items. Management believes that this non-GAAP measure provides investors greater insight into the underlying operating trends of the business. Adjusted Segment EBIT is the primary measure of profitability and operational performance at the segment level and is determined by deducting from segment revenue the related costs and expenses attributable to the segment. Adjusted Segment EBIT excludes interest, taxes, unallocated corporate expenses, foreign currency gains and losses on intercompany loans, restructuring charges, goodwill impairment, and other items not allocated to a business segment. Complete reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to comparable GAAP measures can be found in the Appendix to this presentation and at the Company's website at www.pb.com/investorrelations.

Certain transactions and changes occurred in 2022 that impact the comparability to our 2023 financial results. These transactions and changes include: | Strategic Review Underway | |
• | the sale of our Borderfree cross-border ecommerce solutions business (Borderfree) in July 2022. Accordingly, reported revenue and costs for the twelve months ended | |
December 31, 2022 include six months of revenue and costs for Borderfree. Net income of Borderfree for these periods was not significant. | ||
• | a change in the presentation of revenue for digital delivery services effective October 1, 2022, from a gross basis to a net basis. Accordingly, in 2023, revenue and costs of | |
revenue for certain digital delivery services are reported on a net basis; whereas in 2022, revenue and cost of revenue for these services through September 30 were |
reported on a gross basis in revenue and cost of revenue, respectively. The change primarily impacts our Global Ecommerce segment. | 6 |
In addition, effective January 1, 2024, the Company revised its segment disclosures to move GEC's digital shipping business into SendTech. This change in segment | |
presentation did not impact consolidated results. Revenue and Adjusted EBIT amounts for FY 22 and FY 23 were recast to reflect this presentation. |

Cash Optimization Opportunities
Targeting up to $200 million reduction in go-forward required cash
needs by:
- Improving international cash repatriation

Actively manage the capital structure to enhance value
Once the Company is optimized, the Board can opportunistically capitalize on equity and debt market dislocations
