The accompanying graph compares the most recent five-year performance of Pitney Bowes
common stock with the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 Composite Index, and a Peer Group
Index at December 31, 2006, over the same five-year period.
Total return for the Peer Group and the S&P 500 Composite Index is based on market
capitalization, weighted for each year.
All information is based on data provided to the company by three separate independent
organizations, all of which have been licensed by Standard & Poor’s to use its official total
return calculation.
The graph shows that on a total return basis, assuming reinvestment of all dividends,
$100 invested in the company’s common stock on December 31, 2001, would have
been worth $143 by December 31, 2006. By comparison, $100 invested in the S&P 500
Composite Index on December 31, 2001, would have been worth $135 by December 31,
2006. An investment of $100 in the Peer Group in 2001 would have been worth $162 on
December 31, 2006.
