The Zacks Consensus Estimate was $5.42 billion. Gross margin declined to 33.6% from 39.8% a year ago due to higher cost of sales, service, outsourcing and rentals.

		<description><![CDATA[Pitney Bowes Inc. (PBI) reported earnings per diluted share from continuing operations of 55 cents, compared with 67 cents in the prior year. This was higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 54 cents. Earnings reflect the negative impacts of 1 cent per diluted share associated with currency and 1 cent per diluted share from incremental pension costs when compared with the prior year. Revenue for the quarter was $1.36 billion compared with $1.55 billion in the prior year, a decline of 12%. A stronger dollar reduced revenue by 2% year-over-year. The sustained nature of the recessionary environment is also driving some fundamental changes in the way businesses and customers connect, communicate and complete transactions in the global marketplace. Companies in most industries still have limited visibility and uncertain outlooks ]]></description>

(PAY) designs, markets and services transaction automation systems that facilitate electronic payments between consumers, merchants and financial institutions. The company is expected to report third-quarter results on Sept. 1. Management is not expecting any rebound in overall markets in the near future as the economy still reels under the effect of deep recession. The company will thus keep on seeing contractions of inventory in the North American distribution network, failures of large retailers and possible collapse of businesses that will disrupt its network. VeriFone also continues to face currency translation risk. A significant chunk of inventory reduction and lower capital expenditures resulted in free cash flow of $60 million during the second quarter. However, management indicated in the earnings conference call that inventory may ]]></description>
