Exhibit 99.1 [LETTERHEAD] OF NCR For Release on April 18, 2002 - ----------------------------- NCR Reports First-Quarter Results Data Warehousing delivers strong operating results DAYTON, Ohio - NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR) today reported that revenue --------------- for the quarter ended March 31, 2002, was $1.25 billion, a 9 percent decline from the $1.38 billion reported in the first quarter of 2001. On a local currency basis, revenue decreased 7 percent. Net income was $4 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the first quarter. According to First Call, first-quarter consensus for earnings per diluted share was $0.03. In the year-ago period, NCR reported net income and earnings per diluted share of $117 million and $1.18, respectively, which included special items and reflected amortization of goodwill. In accordance with the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" (SFAS 142), NCR discontinued amortization of goodwill as of January 1, 2002. Excluding goodwill amortization and special items from the prior-year period, first-quarter 2001 net income and earnings per diluted share would have been $27 million or $0.27 compared to net income of $4 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2002. Results for the first quarter of 2002 included: . NCR met expectations for revenue and operating income. . Data Warehousing continued to demonstrate its compelling value proposition by generating 3-percent growth, including maintenance revenues, despite a strong prior-year comparison and the adverse economic environment. . More importantly, the Teradata Data Warehousing business achieved its second consecutive quarter of meaningful profit, generating $23 million of operating income. -more-

-2- . Financial Self Service operating income declined largely due to lower services revenue, less benefit from pension and lower margins due to mix and the effects of currency. . As expected, Retail Store Automation experienced a very challenging quarter as retailers continued to limit capital spending. This business experienced a substantial decline in revenue, which had a significant impact on profitability. . NCR delivered positive free cash flow, a significant year-over-year improvement. "I am very pleased that Data Warehousing continues to take market share and delivered strong results for the first quarter," said NCR Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Lars Nyberg. "This performance reflects very effective execution throughout Teradata's Data Warehousing business and demonstrates the improvement we have made in its already attractive financial model. We expect Data Warehousing to be profitable each quarter this year." "Our view of the capital spending environment remains cautious, but we are seeing some improvement in our sales funnel. We expect to drive substantially higher Retail Store Automation revenue in the coming quarters, particularly in new products, which will result in improving profitability. In Financial Self Service, operating margins will return to mid-teen levels as we grow services revenue and benefit from the sale of higher-margin full-function ATMs. However, the full potential for improved performance in these areas remains subject to the timing of a recovery in capital spending, which remains unpredictable," Mr. Nyberg continued. Revenue ------- By solution, Data Warehousing and Financial Self Service saw flat revenue in the quarter, as compared to the first quarter of 2001. Retail Store Automation, Customer Services Maintenance, Systemedia, and Payment and Imaging revenues declined 29 percent, 6 percent, 1 percent and 5 percent, respectively, versus the first quarter of 2001. Gross Margin ------------ Total gross margin for NCR products and services was 28.1 percent, down 1.7 percentage points from the first quarter of 2001. Product gross margins decreased 1.3 points to 34.6 percent of revenue, while service gross margins declined 1.9 points to 21.7 percent of revenue. Expenses -------- Total expenses in the first quarter were $341 million. Reported expenses for the first quarter of 2001 were $429 million. Excluding special items and goodwill amortization, expenses in the first -more-

-3- quarter of 2001 were $373 million. Research and development expenses were $56 million, or 4.5 percent of revenue, versus $76 million, or 5.5 percent of revenue, in the year-ago period. This reduction reflected actions taken throughout 2001, including the elimination of duplicative development efforts resulting from an earlier acquisition. Operating and Net Income ------------------------ Operating income for the quarter was $9 million. In the first quarter of 2001, the reported operating loss was $19 million, which included special items and goodwill amortization. Excluding these items, operating income for the first quarter of 2001 was $38 million. Other expense in the quarter was $3 million. Excluding special items and goodwill amortization in the first quarter of 2001, other expense was $4 million. First-quarter net income was $4 million, or $0.04 per diluted share. In the year-ago period, excluding special items and goodwill amortization, net income and earnings per diluted share were $27 million and $0.27, respectively. The effective tax rate for the quarter was 30 percent. The weighted average number of shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis increased to 100.6 million in the first quarter from 99.3 million a year ago. Special items that were included in the results for the first quarter of 2001 included: a $138 million benefit resulting from the successful conclusion of a tax audit relating to 1993-94 international operations; a $40 million provision for loans and receivables related to Credit Card Center, a bankrupt customer; a net-of-tax $4 million charge for the cumulative effect of the implementation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities;" and $2 million of acquisition-related integration charges. Goodwill amortization expense included in the first quarter of 2001 totaled $18 million. NCR ended the first quarter with $379 million in cash and short-term investments, up from $336 million on December 31, 2001. As of March 31, 2002, NCR had short-term and long-term debt of $114 million, down from $148 million at the end of 2001. As required by the adoption of SFAS 142, NCR is employing the transitional goodwill impairment test to assess potential impairment loss of its goodwill assets. The company has not finalized its analysis, but expects to record a non-cash impairment loss of between $300 and $350 million as a cumulative effect of accounting change in the second quarter of 2002. -more-

-4- Outlook ------- Due to the unpredictable capital spending environment, NCR now expects revenues to be down 0-5 percent for the year versus 2001. Due to our continued focus on cost and expense reduction as well as market share gains in Data Warehousing, we believe our prior operating income guidance of $350 million remains achievable, especially if capital spending improves in the second half of the year. However, given the unpredictability of that environment, we recognize we have down-side risk to $300 million if capital spending does not improve in the second half of the year. This would result in an earnings per diluted share range of roughly $2.00-$2.30. In the second quarter, we are working a very active pipeline to secure the orders that will fuel our revenue growth in the second half of the year. Second-quarter 2002 revenue for NCR is expected to decline 10 percent. Data Warehouse revenue for the second quarter is expected to be down 0-10 percent, while Retail Store Automation revenue is expected to be down 20-25 percent. Financial Self Service, Customer Services and Systemedia revenues are expected to be roughly flat, with Payment and Imaging and Other revenues declining 30 percent each. Second-quarter operating income is expected to be $50-$65 million with earnings per share in the $0.30-$0.40 range, excluding the impact of goodwill impairment.
