DAYTON, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 27, 2006--NCR Corporation (NYSE:NCR)
-- Teradata Data Warehousing revenue increased 11 percent
-- Financial Self Service revenue up 6 percent
-- Retail Store Automation revenue up 5 percent
-- Customer Service profitability improved 300 basis points on
flat revenue
-- NCR reaffirms prior guidance for full-year earnings per share
NCR Corporation (NYSE:NCR) today reported revenue of $1.53 billion and earnings of $0.42 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. The 4 percent increase in revenue from the second quarter of 2005 included minimal impact from currency fluctuations.
NCR reported second-quarter net income of $78 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, which included $6 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, of incremental expense related to stock-based compensation. This compares to $127 million of net income, or $0.67 per diluted share, reported in the second quarter of 2005. Results for the second quarter of 2005 included $64 million of benefit from the resolution of prior-year tax audits, $19 million of non-cash incremental pension expense associated with an early-retirement program offered in NCR's Customer Services business, as well as $9 million of net benefit from other non-operational items described below. Excluding these items, NCR's earnings per share in the second quarter of 2005 was $0.37.(1)
"Revenue growth in NCR's data warehousing, financial and retail segments shows good demand for our products, while our overall profitability continues to improve as we implement operational enhancements," said Bill Nuti, president and chief executive officer of NCR.
"Our Customer Services business is clearly showing the benefits of our efforts to both drive a higher proportion of revenue from servicing NCR-branded products and to make our services infrastructure more efficient. This work continues, along with other targeted initiatives focused on improving growth and profitability across all of our businesses."
Operating Segment Results(2)
Teradata Data Warehousing
NCR's Teradata Data Warehousing segment reported second-quarter revenue of $399 million, an increase of 11 percent from the second quarter of 2005. Operating income of $86 million, or 22 percent of revenue, increased $10 million from the second quarter of 2005. The year-over-year profit improvement primarily resulted from higher revenue which more than offset increased investment in sales and demand-creation resources.
Financial Self Service (ATMs)
The Financial Self Service segment generated second-quarter revenue of $343 million, up 6 percent from the second quarter of 2005. Operating income of $31 million was down from $43 million generated in the second quarter of 2005. Although the current price environment appears to be improving, NCR was not able to offset price erosion with sufficient cost reduction, in large part due to higher manufacturing-related costs as the company realigns its manufacturing footprint and supply chain.
Retail Store Automation
Retail Store Automation revenue of $221 million was up 5 percent from the second quarter of 2005. Operating income of $8 million compared favorably to $6 million in the second quarter of 2005, largely due to higher revenue.
Customer Services
Customer Services revenue of $457 million was unchanged from the second quarter of 2005, but operating income increased from $8 million to $25 million. The 300-basis point improvement in operating margin, to 5 percent of revenue, was driven by continued structural changes designed to optimize efficiency and an improving revenue mix. In particular, NCR is successfully increasing the mix of revenues from the service of NCR-branded products while reducing lower-margin revenues associated with servicing third-party products.
Other Items
Also included in the results was $1 million of Other Expense, versus $6 million of Other Income reported in the second quarter of 2005. The second quarter of 2005 included a $15 million gain from a real-estate transaction, of which $6 million was used to provide multiyear funding of NCR's charitable foundation for reinvestment back into its local communities.
NCR's tax rate in the second quarter of 2006 was 23 percent, which was slightly higher than the expected 22 percent tax rate, due to the mix of profits and losses by country in the quarter. This compares to the 20 percent effective rate in the second quarter of 2005, which excluded the $64 million benefit from the resolution of prior-year tax audits.(1) NCR continues to expect its 2006 full-year tax rate to be 22 percent.
Cash Flow
During the second quarter, NCR generated $134 million of cash from operations, a $37 million decrease from the prior-year period. Capital expenditures in the second quarter of 2006 were $47 million, compared to $38 million of capital expenditures in the year-ago period. NCR generated $87 million of free cash flow (cash from operations less capital expenditures) in the second quarter of 2006 versus generating $133 million in the year-ago period.(3) Higher revenues and the timing of transactions, as well as a moderate increase in capital expenditures, affected the year-over-year comparison.
Expenditures for reworkable service parts, previously included in "capital expenditures," are now included in "cash provided by operating activities."(4)

Balance Sheet
NCR ended the second quarter with $747 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, roughly the same as the $746 million balance on March 31, 2006. Cash used for share repurchase activity, net of proceeds from option exercises, basically offset free cash flow generated in the second quarter.
As of June 30, 2006, NCR had short- and long-term debt of $307 million, unchanged from March 31, 2006.
NCR repurchased approximately 2.5 million shares of NCR common stock for $98 million during the second quarter. The company has approximately $353 million authorized for future share repurchases.
2006 Outlook
NCR is confirming its prior earnings guidance for 2006 while slightly increasing its expectation for revenue, largely due to currency fluctuations.
NCR continues to expect GAAP earnings per share to be $1.81 to $1.86 in 2006, which includes approximately $0.10 of incremental stock-based compensation expense and $0.04 of expense related to the Customer Services early-retirement program in the first quarter of 2006. The company is increasing its expectation for profitability in its Customer Services business which offsets lower expectations for profitability in its Financial Self Service segment.
NCR expects its earnings per share in the second half of the year to be more heavily weighted in the fourth quarter. Earnings per share in the third quarter is expected to be roughly the same as generated in the second quarter of 2006, with revenue anticipated to be slightly down from the strong second quarter.

NCR reports its results in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States, or GAAP. However, as described below, the company believes that certain non-GAAP measures found in this release are useful for investors. The following table reconciles certain non-GAAP measures contained in this release.
Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures(1)
Q2 2006 Q2 2005 FY 2006
Actual Actual Guidance
------- ------- -----------
Earnings Per Share (GAAP) $0.42 $0.67 $1.81-1.86
Benefit from resolution of prior-year tax
audits - 0.34 -
Early-retirement-related pension expense - (0.08) (0.04)
Net effect of non-operational items in Q2
2005(5) - 0.04 -
------- ------- -----------
Adjusted Earnings Per Share
(Non-GAAP)(1) $0.42 $0.37 $1.85-1.90
(1) NCR's management looks at the company's results excluding certain items to assess the financial performance of the company and believes this information is useful for investors because it provides a more complete understanding of NCR's underlying operational performance, as well as consistency and comparability with past reports of financial results. In addition, management uses earnings per share excluding these items to manage and determine effectiveness of its business managers and as a basis for incentive compensation. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as substitutes for or superior to results determined in accordance with GAAP.
(2) The operating segment results discussed in this earnings release exclude the impact of $35 million of pension expense in the second quarter of 2006 and $52 million of pension expense in the second quarter of 2005. The higher pension expense in the second quarter of 2005 was driven by the early-retirement program offered in the company's Customer Services business. When evaluating the year-over-year performance of and making decisions regarding its operating segments, NCR excludes the effect of pension expense/income. Schedule B, included in this earnings release, reconciles total "Income from operations excluding pension expense/income" for all of the company's operating segments to "Total income from operations" for the company.
(3) NCR defines free cash flow as cash provided/used by operating activities less capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment, and additions to capitalized software. Free cash flow does not have a uniform definition under GAAP and therefore, NCR's definition may differ from other companies' definition of this measure. 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 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. This non-GAAP measure should not be considered a substitute for or superior to cash flows from operating activities under GAAP, or as a proxy for cash flow available for discretionary spending.
(4) In the second quarter, NCR changed its accounting for reworkable service parts from a long-term depreciable asset to a current asset within Inventories. As a result of this change, expenditures for reworkable service parts, previously recorded under cash flows from investing activities, will now be recorded under cash flows from operating activities. This change was retroactively applied to the prior-period financial statements and did not affect overall cash flows or have a material impact on the company's results of operations or financial position.
As a result of the accounting change, NCR's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets include amounts for net reworkable service parts as inventory. Prior to the accounting change, $242 million as of March 31, 2006, and $234 million as of Dec. 31, 2005, were reported as "Reworkable service parts and rental equipment, net" under long-term assets.
In addition, NCR's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows include, "Net expenditures and proceeds for reworkable service parts" of $24 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, and $43 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, in operating activities. These amounts were previously reported under "Investing activities."
(5) The second quarter of 2005 included a $15 million gain from a real-estate transaction, of which $6 million was used to provide multiyear funding of NCR's charitable foundation for reinvestment back into its local communities.
