* Includes a $298 million, a $103 million, a $655 million, and a $230 million increase to the deferred revenue-prepaid postage liability in 2011, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. These amounts, which primarily include changes in estimates, are recorded in the other mailing services revenue category so as to not distort the period-over-period volume statistics (Pieces, number) by service line.
Note: In 2011, the PRC approved a new methodology for allocating revenue across products. This new methodology was applied to revenue and volume data relating to 2011 and 2010. These reclassifications did not impact total mail revenue and volume for 2009. The new methodology does not change total revenue.
