Full year 2015 guidance:

Full Year Revenue guidance now forecasted at 3% - 4% constant currency growth

FCF guidance of $350 million to $400 million reaffirmed

DULUTH, Georgia - NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR) reported financial results today for the three months ended September 30, 2015.

"Consistent execution across NCR delivered third-quarter earnings in line with our expectations and puts us in position to achieve our full year objectives for earnings and free cash flow," said Chairman and CEO Bill Nuti.  Revenue was up 5% on a constant currency basis with improving growth in software and services.  Despite a worsening FX environment and challenging geographies, our Financial Services business experienced continued demand for our omni-channel software solutions, including cloud applications, as well as our branch transformation offers.  In Retail Solutions, we are executing better in a moderately improving retail environment and generated solid results.  And, our Hospitality Division had a very good quarter, led by software and cloud growth.  I am most pleased about our improving free cash flow execution, both in terms of quarterly linearity and overall operational results.  In a consolidating industry, we believe our competitive position can significantly improve given our industry aligned strategy, rich software portfolio, cloud and mobile first applications, global Services excellence, and unmatched hardware platforms.  Given recent industry developments we are particularly excited about our business opportunities ahead."

Financial Services Constant currency revenue growth was flat, with growth in the Americas, South Pacific, and Middle East Africa offset by declines in China and Russia. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, operating income increased due to a more favorable mix of revenue and expense management.

Retail Solutions Constant currency revenue growth was driven by growth in North America and Europe. Operating income increased due higher revenue, including more software-related revenue and expense management.

Hospitality Constant currency revenue growth was driven by improvements in software-related revenue in the Americas. The increase in operating income was driven by higher software-related revenue, including cloud and professional services revenue.

Emerging Industries Constant currency revenue growth was driven by our Telecom & Technology business. Operating income increased due to higher services margins.

Free cash flow was lower in the third quarter of 2015 as compared to the third quarter of 2014 due to $93 million in recoveries associated with the Fox River environmental matter in the third quarter of 2014. Excluding the recoveries, free cash flow improved in the third quarter of 2015 as compared to the third quarter of 2014 driven by an increase in cash from operations.

Other Third Quarter Developments

The Company's progress to date with its restructuring plan is on track. NCR incurred a pre-tax charge of $36 million in the first nine months of 2015, and expects to incur a pre-tax charge of approximately $20 million to $28 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Cash payments in 2015 were $51 million in the first nine months, and are expected to be approximately $20 million to $35 million in the fourth quarter. Savings are in line with previous expectations with $18 million in 2014, approximately $70 million in 2015 and approximately $105 million in 2016, with about 50% of the savings benefiting NPOI.


2015 Outlook

We are decreasing our revenue guidance to 3% - 4% constant currency growth, due to continued challenges in certain developing markets and slower backlog rollouts pushing into 2016. Expected foreign currency headwinds on revenue increased by $65 million from previous guidance provided in July. The NPOI range is expected to be $830 million to $840 million, at the low end of the previous range due to lower revenue and $20 million of additional negative foreign currency impacts from our beginning of the year guidance. Our non-GAAP diluted EPS is expected to be $2.70 to $2.80, the high end of our previous range, due to other expense, effective tax rate and share count lower than previously expected. Expected foreign currency headwinds increased by $0.10 from beginning of year guidance. Free cash flow guidance is reaffirmed. We expect unfavorable foreign currency impacts of 6%, or approximately $420 million, in revenue, $70 million to $75 million in NPOI and $0.30 per share in non-GAAP diluted EPS for full-year 2015.

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.

Constant Currency. NCR presents certain measures, such as period-over-period revenue growth, on a constant currency basis, which excludes the effects of foreign currency translation. Due to the continuing strengthening of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies and the overall variability of foreign exchange rates from period to period, NCR’s management uses these measures on a constant currency basis to evaluate period-over-period operating performance. Measures presented on a constant currency basis are calculated by translating current period results at prior 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 quarterly free cash flow, in the body of this release.

1 Q3 2015 EARNINGS CONFERENCE CALL BILL NUTI, CHAIRMAN AND CEO BOB FISHMAN, CFO October 27, 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 expectations for meeting its full-year financial objectives; expectations for revenue growth in NCR’s divisions; expectations regarding the transformation of NCR’s sales and services functions; the success and expected savings, income statement and cash impacts of NCR’s ongoing restructuring plan; foreign currency fluctuations and their impact on NCR’s results; and NCR's FY 2015 free cash flow, FY 2015 overall, FY 2015 segment and Q4 2015 financial outlook. 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 October 27, 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), operational gross margin, operational gross margin rate, expenses (non-GAAP), adjusted EBITDA, effective tax rate, non-GAAP net income and selected measures expressed on a constant currency basis. 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, (iii) the terms "cloud" and "cloud revenue" are used to describe NCR’s 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") and (iv) the term "CC" means constant currency. 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


 
20 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. 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 (FCF) does not have a uniform definition under GAAP and, therefore, NCR's definition may differ from other companies' definition of this measure.


 
21 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. Constant Currency. NCR presents certain measures, such as period-over-period revenue growth, on a constant currency basis, which excludes the effects of foreign currency translation. Due to the continuing strengthening of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies and the overall variability of foreign exchange rates from period to period, NCR's management uses these measures on a constant currency basis to evaluate period-over-period operating performance. Measures presented on a constant currency basis are calculated by translating current period results at prior 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.
