2009 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. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was due to decreases in finance receivable and accounts receivable balances of $102.2 million and $72.8 million, respectively, resulting from lower billings and strong collections. In addition, the timing of tax payments favorably contributed $58.6 million. Partially offsetting these positive impacts was a reduction in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $141.5 million, primarily due to the timing of payments such as year-end incentive compensation and commissions as well as $32.7 million in restructuring payments associated with the prior year cost reduction initiatives and a $20.3 million payment for the unwinding of derivatives related to the March 2009 debt issuance. See Notes 14 and 17 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussions of the restructuring payments and unwinding of the derivatives, respectively.

Net cash used in investing activities consisted principally of capital expenditures of $47.8 million combined with a decrease in reserve account balances of $21.7 million which is due to the timing of customer deposits as well as increased cash preservation by customers.

Net cash used in financing activities consisted primarily of a decrease in notes payable of $384.7 million due to the repayment of commercial paper, which was partially offset by the proceeds from long term obligations of $297.5 million related to the March 2009 debt issuance. Dividends paid to stockholders were $74.3 million for the first quarter of 2009.

2008 Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities consisted primarily of net income adjusted for non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities. The net increase in our current and non-current income taxes contributed $49.2 million to cash from operations resulting from the timing of tax payments. Lower investments in finance receivables of $30.8 million and an increase in advance billings of $57.6 million also contributed to the increase in operating cash flow. The decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $85.5 million, primarily due to the payment of year-end incentive compensation and commissions partially offset by additional restructuring reserves, and an increase in inventory of $17.7 million, partly due to the required build of new fully digital, networked, and remotely-downloadable equipment and the U.S. postal rate change in the second quarter of 2008, which reduced our cash flow from operations. The increase in accounts receivable of $5.2 million is driven by contracts that are billed annually in International Mailing partly offset by lower balances in Software due to collections related to the strong fourth quarter 2007 business.

Net cash used in investing activities consisted principally of capital expenditures of $56.9 million, a reduction in our reserve account deposits of $7.2 million, and additional short-term investments of $6.8 million.

Net cash used in financing activities consisted primarily of dividends paid to stockholders of $74.1 million and stock repurchases of $180.0 million, partially offset by proceeds from issuance of stock of $6.1 million and a net increase in notes payable and long-term obligations of $88.5 million.

2008 Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operations consisted primarily of net income adjusted for non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities. The strong cash flow provided by operations for 2008 is primarily due to the timing of tax payments, which favorably contributed $122 million, and the receipt of $44 million related to the unwind of an interest rate swap, which is described in further detail in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Partially offsetting these positive impacts was a reduction in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $77 million, primarily due to timing of these payments.

Net cash used in investing activities consisted of capital expenditures of $237 million primarily for rental assets and acquisitions of $68 million partially offset by proceeds from short-term and other investments of $36 million, and increased reserve account balances for customer deposits of $33 million.

Net cash used in financing activities was $742 million and consisted primarily of stock repurchases of $333 million, dividends paid of $292 million, and a net payment of debt of $125 million, which was partly offset by proceeds of $20 million from the issuance of

common stock associated with employee stock plans. We also paid $12 million associated with the redemption of 100% of the outstanding Cumulative Preferred Stock issued previously by a subsidiary company.

2007 Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operations consisted primarily of net income adjusted for non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities. The strong cash flow provided by operations for 2007 is primarily driven by tax refunds and lower tax payments, lower investment in finance receivables, and increased management attention on working capital which resulted in lower accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable balances.

Net cash used in investing activities consisted of acquisitions of $594 million and capital expenditures of $265 million partially offset by proceeds from the sale of a training facility for $30 million, proceeds from short-term investments of $42 million, and increased reserve account balances for customer deposits of $63 million.

Net cash used in financing activities was $204 million and consisted primarily of stock repurchases of $400 million and dividends paid of $289 million, primarily offset by a net borrowing of debt of $377 million and proceeds from stock issuance of $108 million.

Net cash provided by operating activities consisted primarily of net income adjusted for non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities. The increase in cash flow provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared with the prior year is primarily due to lower additions to finance receivables and the tax payment related to the IRS settlement in 2006. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the net increase in our deferred taxes on income and income taxes payable contributed $86.0 million to cash from operations resulting primarily from the timing of tax payments. The decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities reduced our cash from operations by $56.5 million, primarily due to the payment of year-end compensation and commissions, and the timing of accounts payable following the strong fourth quarter of 2006. The increase in our internal finance receivable balances decreased cash from operations by $76.4 million, reflecting growth in equipment placements and our payment solutions business during the first nine months.

The net cash used in investing activities consisted primarily of acquisitions, net of cash acquired, of $559.9 million and capital expenditures of $202.0 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities consisted primarily of a net increase in debt of $535.6 million and $99.0 million received from stock issuances partially offset by stock repurchases of $280.0 million and dividends paid to stockholders of $217.2 million.

The increase in our internal finance receivables balances reduced cash from operations by $105 million, reflecting growth in equipment placements and our payment solutions business during the year. Other operating assets and liabilities reduced our cash from operations by $95 million primarily due to higher accounts receivable balances that resulted from strong growth in our businesses.

Net cash used in investing activities was $472 million and consisted primarily of capital expenditures and acquisitions, partially offset by cash generated from Capital Services asset sales, increased reserve account deposits and proceeds from the sale of the main plant.

Net cash used in financing activities was $128 million and consisted primarily of dividends paid to stockholders and stock repurchases, partially offset by the issuance of debt and stock.

          The decrease in cash provided by operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2005 is primarily due to an increase in investment in finance receivables and higher taxes paid in 2006. Cash provided by discontinued operations included in operating activities was approximately $1 million and $65 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

          The increase in cash provided by investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2005 is primarily due to proceeds of $747 million received from the sale of our Capital Services external financing business, $282 million received from the sale of our Imagistics lease portfolio and an advance of $138 million against the cash surrender value of our COLI policies offset by our investment of $779 million in short-term investments.

          The increase in cash used in financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2005 is primarily due to lower borrowings and higher stock repurchases in 2006.

     The increase in cash provided by operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2005 is primarily due to a $200 million tax bond posted with the IRS in the prior period. Cash provided by discontinued operations included in operating activities was approximately $1 million and $44 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

     The increase in cash provided by investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2005 is primarily due to net proceeds of $282 million received from the sale of our Imagistics lease portfolio and an advance of $138 million against the cash surrender value of our COLI policies.

     The increase in cash used for financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2005 is primarily due to the repayment of debt and higher stock repurchases in 2006.

Capital Expenditures

     During the first six months of 2006, capital expenditures included $65.4 million in net additions to property, plant and equipment and $97 million in net additions to rental equipment and related inventories compared with $69 million and $78.7 million, respectively, in the same period in 2005. The addition of rental equipment relates primarily to postage meters and increased over the prior year due to higher placements of our digital meters during the six months ended June 30, 2006.

     We expect capital expenditures for the full year of 2006 to be approximately the same as the prior year. These investments will also be affected by the timing of our customers’ transition to digital meters.
