In 2012, despite strong growth of 8.7% for Shipping and Packages, total revenue of $65,223 million declined $488 million
or 0.7% compared to total revenue of $65,711 in 2011. As can be seen from the graphs below, First-Class Mail and
Standard Mail provide the vast majority of our revenues, despite trends away from hard copy to electronic media.
Combined, these two categories totaled $45,295 million in 2012, and represented almost 70% of our total revenues for the
year. However, by taking advantage of market changes and developing innovative services we have been able to grow
our Shipping and Packages service to $11,596 million for 2012. These services now represent approximately 18% of our
revenues.
