"Our fourth quarter and full year results were in-line with our revised expectations," said Chairman and CEO Bill Nuti. "Financial Services finished 2014 with a solid quarter, as global demand for our branch transformation solutions and the impact of Digital Insight drove results. While 2014 had its challenges, particularly in Retail Solutions, we made great progress this year continuing to transform NCR, including progress in executing our software and cloud strategy and ongoing success addressing legacy issues. We also remain positioned at the forefront of consumer transaction technologies across our markets. Looking ahead, we are excited about 2015 and the opportunities for NCR.

Revenue increased 6% compared to the prior year led by solid growth in Financial Services where branch transformation revenues continued to increase and Digital Insight contributed $93 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. Retail Solutions was lower than the prior year as we continued to face redirected information technology spending and delayed customer rollouts. Hospitality was lower due to decreased spend by certain global quick-service restaurants. Emerging Industries was lower due to the impact of the travel business. Foreign currency fluctuations negatively impacted total revenue by 5%.

Segment operating income increased 14% compared to the prior year. The increase was led by Financial Services, where growth was driven by a higher mix of software-related revenue. Retail Solutions operating income was as expected, and improved as a percentage of Retail Solutions revenue compared to Q3 2014. Hospitality operating income was higher than the prior year due to a favorable mix of revenue. Emerging Industries operating income was negatively impacted by costs associated with managed services contracts and continued investment in Small Business.

Free cash flow decreased in the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2013 mainly due to changes in working capital and the timing of cash outflows related to discontinued operations. Free cash flow improved in quarterly linearity in 2014 as compared to 2013 and increased mainly due to working capital improvements and recoveries related to the Fox River environmental matter.

2015 Outlook

The 2015 revenue guidance is expected to be roughly flat on an as-reported basis, and up 4% to 6% on a constant currency basis. We expect revenue growth to be driven by higher value solutions in Financial Services, Retail Solutions and Hospitality. NPOI is expected to be between $830 million and $870 million, primarily due to continued improvements in the software mix across the businesses and the benefit of the restructuring plan, partially offset by approximately $50 million of unfavorable foreign currency impacts. Non-GAAP diluted EPS is expected to be approximately $2.60 to $2.80, due to higher NPOI offset by approximately $0.20 per share of unfavorable foreign currency impacts and a higher effective income tax rate. We expect free cash flow of $325 million to $375 million, which includes restructuring spending of approximately $70 million to $85 million.

For 2014, actuarial mark-to-market pension adjustment included; for 2015, actuarial mark-to-market pension adjustments to be determined in Q4 2015 excluded. The impact of the transfer of the UK London pension plan to an insurer expected to occur in 2015 or early 2016 is excluded from the 2015 guidance. The UK London pension plan was approximately $420 million overfunded as of December 31, 2014.

NCR expects approximately $215 million to $220 million of other expense, net including interest expense in 2015 and that its full-year 2015 effective income tax rate will be approximately 25% compared to 22% in 2014.

Related to the ongoing restructuring plan, NCR expects to incur a pre-tax charge of approximately $200 million to $225 million that will be included in income from continuing operations, with $163 million recorded in 2014 and the remainder recorded in 2015. The estimate includes both severance and asset related charges. The cash impact of the restructuring plan is expected to be approximately $100 million to $115 million, with $29 million incurred in 2014 and the remainder in 2015. Savings are expected to be approximately $70 million in 2015 and $105 million in 2016, with about 50% of the savings benefiting NPOI.

Q1 2015 Outlook

For the first quarter of 2015, the Company expects non-pension operating income (NPOI) to be in the range of $140 million to $150 million, compared to $155 million in the first quarter of 2014, and income from operations to be in the range of $90 million to $100 million, compared to $108 million in the first quarter of 2014. NCR expects its first quarter 2015 effective income tax rate to be approximately 23% and other expense, net including interest expense to be approximately $55 million.

Forward-looking statements are based on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions, which may not prove to be accurate, and involve a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are out of NCR's control. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and there are a number of important factors that could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from the results contemplated by such forward-looking statements, including those factors relating to: domestic and global economic and credit conditions including, in particular, market conditions in the retail industry; the impact of our indebtedness and its terms on our financial and operating activities; our ability to successfully introduce new solutions and compete in the information technology industry; the transformation of our business model and our ability to sell higher-margin software and services; our ability to improve execution in our sales and services organizations; defects or errors in our products; manufacturing disruptions; the historical seasonality of our sales; foreign currency fluctuations; the availability and success of acquisitions, divestitures and alliances, including the acquisition of Digital Insight; our pension strategy and underfunded pension obligation; the success of our ongoing restructuring plan; tax rates; compliance with data privacy and protection requirements; reliance on third party suppliers; development and protection of intellectual property; workforce turnover and the ability to attract and retain skilled employees; environmental exposures from our historical and ongoing manufacturing activities; and uncertainties with regard to regulations, lawsuits, claims and other matters across various jurisdictions.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures While NCR reports its results in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States, or GAAP, in this release NCR also uses the non-GAAP measures listed and described below.

Non-Pension Operating Income and Non-GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Share. NCR’s non-pension operating income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share are determined by excluding pension expense and special items, including amortization of acquisition related intangibles, from NCR’s GAAP income (loss) from operations. Due to the significant change in its pension expense from year to year and the non-operational nature of pension expense and these special items, NCR's management uses non-pension operating income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share to evaluate year-over-year operating performance, to manage and determine the effectiveness of its business managers and as a basis for incentive compensation. NCR believes these measures are useful for investors because they provide a more complete understanding of NCR's underlying operational performance, as well as consistency and comparability with NCR's past reports of financial results.

Free Cash Flow. NCR defines free cash flow as net cash provided by/used in operating activities and cash flow provided by/used in discontinued operations less capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment, additions to capitalized software, discretionary pension contributions and settlements. NCR's management uses free cash flow to assess the financial performance of the Company and believes it is useful for investors because it relates the operating cash flow of the Company to the capital that is spent to continue and improve business operations. In particular, free cash flow indicates the amount of cash generated after capital expenditures which can be used for, among other things, investment in the Company's existing businesses, strategic acquisitions, strengthening the Company's balance sheet, repurchase of Company stock and repayment of the Company's debt obligations. Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since there may be other nondiscretionary expenditures that are not deducted from the measure. Free cash flow does not have a uniform definition under GAAP and, therefore, NCR's definition may differ from other companies' definitions of this measure.

Revenue Growth on a Constant Currency Basis. NCR’s period-over-period revenue growth on a constant currency basis excludes the effects of foreign currency translation. Due to the variability of foreign exchange rates from period to period, NCR’s management uses revenue on a constant currency basis to evaluate period-over-period operating performance. Revenue growth on a constant currency basis is calculated by translating prior period revenue at current period monthly average exchange rates.

NCR's definitions and calculations of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly-titled measures reported by other companies and cannot, therefore, be compared with similarly-titled measures of other companies. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as substitutes for, or superior to, results determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are

reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP measures in the tables below or, in the case of free cash flow, in the body of this release.

1 Q4 2014 EARNINGS CONFERENCE CALL BILL NUTI, CHAIRMAN AND CEO BOB FISHMAN, CFO February 10, 2015


 
2 NOTES TO INVESTORS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. Comments made during this conference call and in these materials contain forward- looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements that describe or relate to NCR's future plans, goals, intentions, strategies or financial outlook, and statements that do not relate to historical or current fact, are examples of forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in these materials include statements about NCR's key initiatives for 2015 and their expected impact and benefits; the impact of various actions with respect to NCR's pension plans; the future growth and transformation of NCR and its lines of business; NCR's FY 2015 and Q1 2015 financial outlook; and the costs and expected benefits and results of NCR's ongoing restructuring plan. Forward-looking statements are based on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions, which may not prove to be accurate, and involve a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are out of NCR's control. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and there are a number of important factors that could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from the results contemplated by such forward-looking statements, including those factors listed in Item 1a "Risk Factors" of NCR's Annual Report on Form 10-K and those factors detailed from time to time in NCR's other SEC reports. These materials are dated February 10, 2015, and NCR does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. NON-GAAP MEASURES. While NCR reports its results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), comments made during this conference call and these materials will include the following "non-GAAP" measures: non- pension operating income (NPOI), non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (non-GAAP diluted EPS), free cash flow (FCF), adjusted free cash flow (adjusted FCF), operational gross margin, operational gross margin rate, expenses (non-GAAP), adjusted EBITDA, effective tax rate, non-GAAP net income and constant currency. These measures are included to provide additional useful information regarding NCR's financial results, and are not a substitute for their comparable GAAP measures. Explanations of these non-GAAP measures and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their directly comparable GAAP measures are included in the accompanying "Supplementary Non-GAAP Materials" and are available on the Investor Relations page of NCR's website at www.ncr.com. Descriptions of many of these non-GAAP measures are also included in NCR's SEC reports. USE OF CERTAIN TERMS. As used in these materials, (i) the term "software-related revenue" includes software license, software maintenance, cloud, and professional services revenue associated with software delivery, (ii) the term "recurring revenue" means the sum of cloud, hardware maintenance and software maintenance revenue, and (iii) statements regarding NCR’s revenue or other measures on an organic basis or excluding Digital Insight, or growth on an “organic” basis or excluding Digital Insight, refer to such revenue, measures or growth excluding the results of Digital Insight. Investors are advised that the terms "cloud" and "cloud revenue" are used by NCR to describe its software-as-a-service offerings and the revenue associated therewith; prior earnings releases and presentation materials referred to these offerings and revenues as "SaaS" and "SaaS revenue." Investors are cautioned that in NCR's prior earnings releases and presentation materials, NCR used the term "software revenue," which does not include professional services revenue associated with software delivery. Therefore software revenue in such releases and presentation materials will not be directly comparable to software-related revenue in these materials. These presentation materials and the associated remarks made during this conference call are integrally related and are intended to be presented and understood together.

SUPPLEMENTARY NON-GAAP MATERIALS


 
29 NON-GAAP MEASURES While NCR reports its results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States, comments made during this conference call and in these materials will include non-GAAP measures. These measures are included to provide additional useful information regarding NCR's financial results, and are not a substitute for their comparable GAAP measures. NPOI, Non-GAAP Diluted EPS, Operational Gross Margin, Operational Gross Margin Rate, Expenses (non-GAAP), Effective Tax Rate and Non-GAAP Net Income. NCR's non-pension operating income (NPOI), non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (non-GAAP diluted EPS) are determined by excluding pension expense and special items, including amortization of acquisition related intangibles, from NCR's GAAP income (loss) from operations. NCR also determines operational gross margin, operational gross margin rate, expenses (non-GAAP) and effective tax rate (non-GAAP) by excluding pension expense and these special items from its GAAP gross margin, gross margin rate, expenses and effective tax rate. Due to the significant change in its pension expense from year to year and the non-operational nature of pension expense and these special items, NCR's management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate year-over-year operating performance. NCR also uses NPOI and non-GAAP diluted EPS to manage and determine the effectiveness of its business managers and as a basis for incentive compensation. NCR believes these measures are useful for investors because they provide a more complete understanding of NCR's underlying operational performance, as well as consistency and comparability with NCR's past reports of financial results. Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow. NCR defines free cash flow as net cash provided by/used in operating activities and cash flow provided by/used in discontinued operations less capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment, additions to capitalized software, discretionary pension contributions and settlements. NCR defines adjusted free cash flow as free cash flow plus required pension contributions, cash provided by/used in discontinued operations, and cash flow impact of special items. NCR's management uses free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow to assess the financial performance of the Company and believes they are useful for investors because they relate the operating cash flow of the Company to the capital that is spent to continue and improve business operations. In particular, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow indicate the amount of cash generated after capital expenditures which can be used for, among other things, investment in the Company's existing businesses, strategic acquisitions, strengthening the Company's balance sheet, repurchase of Company stock and repayment of the Company's debt obligations. Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow do not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since there may be other nondiscretionary expenditures that are not deducted from the measures. Free cash flow (FCF) and adjusted free cash flow (adjusted FCF) do not have uniform definitions under GAAP and, therefore, NCR's definitions may differ from other companies' definitions of these measures.


 
30 NON-GAAP MEASURES Adjusted EBITDA. NCR believes that Adjusted EBITDA (adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) provides useful information to investors because it is an indicator of the strength and performance of the Company's ongoing business operations, including its ability to fund discretionary spending such as capital expenditures, strategic acquisitions and other investments. NCR determines Adjusted EBITDA for a given period based on its GAAP income (loss) from continuing operations plus interest expense, net; plus income tax expense (benefit); plus depreciation and amortization; plus other income (expense); plus pension expense (benefit); and plus special items included in the definition of NPOI. NCR believes that its ratio of net debt to Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors because it is an indicator of the company's ability to meet its future financial obligations. Revenue Growth on a Constant Currency Basis. NCR's period-over-period revenue growth on a constant currency basis excludes the effects of foreign currency translation. Due to the variability of foreign exchange rates from period to period, NCR's management uses revenue growth on a constant currency basis to evaluate period-over-period operating performance. Revenue growth on a constant currency basis is calculated by translating prior period revenue at current period monthly average exchange rates. NCR management's definitions and calculations of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly-titled measures reported by other companies and cannot, therefore, be compared with similarly-titled measures of other companies. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as substitutes for, or superior to, results determined in accordance with GAAP. These non- GAAP measures are reconciled to their corresponding GAAP measures in the following slides and elsewhere in these materials. These reconciliations and other information regarding these non-GAAP measures are also available on the Investor Relations page of NCR's website at www.ncr.com.
