The story behind the numbers was an accelerating cost-reduction program, with the company eliminating $34 million in annualized costs during the quarter to bring total run-rate net annualized savings to $157 million; management promptly raised its savings target to $180 to $200 million. Segment results were mixed, with Presort Services emerging as the standout, growing revenue 5% to $177.81 million while its adjusted EBIT surged 36%, offsetting a softer SendTech performance. Adding a forward-looking dimension to the quarter, the company reaffirmed full-year guidance of $1.95 to $2.00 billion in revenue and adjusted EPS of $1.10 to $1.30, while a leadership transition to incoming CEO Kurt Wolf signals continued commitment to the ongoing turnaround strategy.

“Continuing to execute on our strategic initiatives drove significant profitability in the quarter and has put us on track for a very strong year. Even in the current macroeconomic environment, we remain on track to meaningfully grow cash flow and earnings over the course of 2025. We are also continuing to cut additional costs, deleverage the balance sheet and expand in profitable growth markets like shipping technology. All of these steps are allowing us to accelerate the return of capital to shareholders, including another increase in our dividend. We are also focused on realizing the value of our Global Financial Services business, which has been a hidden gem. As we look to the second quarter, we will continue to pursue the many opportunities we have to enhance value and serve one of the world's most enviable client bases.”
