NCR Reports Strong Fourth-Quarter Operating Results

 

Better-than-expected revenues in Data Warehousing and Financial Self Service

 

Operating margin expansion led by improvements in Retail Store Automation, Data Warehousing and Financial Self Service

 

Operating cash flow for the year improved $194 million, up 79 percent, versus 2002

 

DAYTON, Ohio NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR) today reported financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2003, including earnings of $0.84 per diluted share and revenue of $1.64 billion, up 4 percent from revenue in the fourth quarter of 2002. Included in the year-over-year revenue comparison for the fourth quarter was 6 percentage points of benefit from foreign currency fluctuations. At the beginning of the quarter, NCR had expected 3 to 4 percentage points of benefit from currency.

 

Operating income for the fourth quarter was $113 million versus $76 million in the fourth quarter of 2002. Included in the year-over-year comparison was $42 million of negative impact from pension expense, which was partially offset by $21 million of asset impairment, real estate consolidation and restructuring charges recorded in the fourth quarter of 2002. Aided by currency translation, operating margin for the fourth quarter improved more than 2 percentage points versus the prior-year period.

 

NCR reported fourth-quarter 2003 net income of $80 million, or $0.84 per diluted share, versus net income of $57 million, or $0.57 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2002.

“NCR improved its operational performance during 2003, despite headwind from pension expense and a challenging capital-spending climate. We made progress on each of the cost and expense initiatives we established a year ago. Additionally, we enhanced the value propositions of our products and services, improved our demand-creation capability and significantly improved our operating cash flow,” said Mark Hurd, president and chief executive officer of NCR.

 

“During 2003 we reduced our cost and expense structure by more than $100 million, putting us solidly on track to achieve our annual cost savings target of $250 million by the end of 2005. As we continue to successfully execute our operating plan, NCR should make further improvements in 2004,” Hurd said.

 

Operating Segment Results

 

The operating segment results discussed below exclude the impact of $26 million of pension expense in the fourth quarter of 2003 and $16 million of pension income in the fourth quarter of 2002. When evaluating the year-over-year performance of, and making decisions regarding, its operating segments, NCR excludes the effect of pension expense/income and, in the fourth quarter of 2002, excluded charges of $21 million relating to asset impairment, real estate consolidation and restructuring. Schedule B, found later in this earnings release, reconciles total “Income from operations excluding pension expense/income and the 2002 restructuring and asset-impairment charges” for all of the company’s operating segments to “Total income from operations” for the company.

 

Data Warehousing Operating Segment

 

Operating margin improves 7 percentage points to 17 percent

 

NCR’s Data Warehousing segment reported fourth-quarter revenue of $361 million, up 6 percent from the fourth quarter of 2002. Fourth-quarter year-over-year revenue comparison included a benefit of 5 percentage points from foreign currency fluctuations.

 

Operating income of $61 million for the quarter increased more than 75 percent from $34 million in the fourth quarter of 2002, due to higher volume, increasing contributions from support services, higher hardware and software margins, a more favorable mix of software, a lower cost structure and favorable impact from currency.

 

With increasing regulatory, economic and competitive pressures, companies are recognizing a growing need for enterprise analytics and investing in their technology infrastructures. Companies continue to install and upgrade their Teradata® data warehouses; however, Data Warehousing revenue growth continues to be limited by the capital-spending environment.

Financial Self Service Operating Segment

 

Strong revenue growth and lower cost lead to 4 points of operating margin expansion

 

The Financial Self Service segment generated fourth-quarter revenue of $392 million, up 13 percent from the year-ago period. Fourth-quarter revenue growth included a year-over-year benefit of 8 percentage points from foreign currency fluctuations.

 

Operating income of $77 million improved 38 percent from $56 million generated in the prior-year period. Fourth-quarter operating margin improved 4 percentage points to 20 percent versus the fourth quarter of 2002 due to higher revenue, improved supply-chain costs, better expense management and favorable impact from currency.

 

As a result of regulatory changes, increased automated teller machine (ATM) upgrade and replacement activity is likely over the next several years as financial institutions install new-generation modular ATMs that can facilitate automated check and cash deposit. These new deposit-capable ATMs should allow banks to reduce check processing and transport costs, thereby providing very attractive return on investment for the banks and added convenience for their customers.

 

Retail Store Automation Operating Segment

 

Operating margin improvement generated from better cost and expense management

 

For the fourth quarter of 2003, Retail Store Automation generated $234 million in revenue, in line with the $233 million in the fourth quarter of 2002. Fourth-quarter year-over-year revenue comparison for Retail Store Automation included a benefit of 6 percentage points from foreign currency fluctuations.

 

Fourth-quarter operating income of $14 million was a $15 million improvement from the prior-year period. Operating margin in the fourth quarter improved to 6 percent from an operating loss in the fourth quarter of 2002, due to favorable impact from foreign currency fluctuations and a reduction in supply-chain, engineering and infrastructure costs.

 

Although retailers continue to be cautious with capital spending, several are installing NCR’s newest line of point-of-sale terminals and expanding their self-checkout system pilots to rollouts.

Customer Services Operating Segment

 

Operational improvement offset by unfavorable revenue mix and continued pricing pressure

 

Customer Services revenue increased to $482 million in the fourth quarter of 2003, up 4 percent from the prior-year period. Fourth-quarter year-over-year revenue comparison for Customer Services included a benefit of 6 percentage points from foreign currency fluctuations.

 

Operating income of $6 million in the quarter declined from the $13 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2002, due to pricing pressure and the continued decline in higher-margin revenue from exited businesses. Operating margin declined to 1 percent from 3 percent in the fourth quarter of 2002.

 

Systemedia Operating Segment

 

Improved operating margin on lower revenues

 

Systemedia fourth-quarter revenue was $141 million, down 2 percent from the revenue generated in the year-ago period due to softness in the printer-consumables market worldwide. Fourth-quarter year-over-year revenue comparison included a benefit of 6 percentage points from foreign currency fluctuations.

 

Although revenue declined, operating income improved to $7 million from the $3 million reported in fourth quarter of 2002 as Systemedia continued to improve its operating leverage due to lower production and materials cost and reduced overhead expenses.

 

Payment and Imaging Operating Segment

 

Higher revenue leads to improved profitability

 

Payment and Imaging generated $51 million in revenue during the fourth quarter, up 24 percent from the prior-year period. The higher revenue reflects the timing of major imaging solution implementations that occurred during the quarter. Fourth-quarter revenue growth included a year-over-year benefit of 4 percentage points from foreign currency fluctuations.

 

Aided by the higher revenue during the quarter, Payment and Imaging generated $7 million of operating income, an increase of $2 million from the fourth quarter of 2002. Due to actions to improve operational efficiency and higher volume leveraged against fixed costs, operating margin improved by 2 percentage points.

Non-Operating Items

 

Net Interest and Other Expense in the fourth quarter of 2003 totaled $6 million, down from $25 million in the prior-year period. In the fourth quarter of 2002, Other Expense included $22 million of asset impairment charges.

 

The weighted average number of shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis decreased to 95.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2003 from 98.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2002 due to the company’s continued share-repurchase activity. During the fourth quarter of 2003, NCR repurchased approximately 500,000 shares of NCR common stock for approximately $16 million. During the year, NCR used approximately $90 million to repurchase 4.1 million shares.

 

The company’s tax rate for the fourth quarter was lower than anticipated due to the finalization of international tax matters. The lower tax rate resulted in $0.04 of incremental earnings per share.

 

Balance Sheet

 

NCR ended the fourth quarter with $689 million in cash and short-term investments, a significant increase from the $581 million cash balance on September 30, 2003. As of December 31, 2003, NCR had short- and long-term debt of $310 million, down from $317 million on September 30, 2003.

 

Due to strong return on pension plan assets during 2003, which resulted in a decrease in minimum liability associated with its pension plans, NCR’s Stockholders’ Equity increased by approximately $489 million. This non-cash, after-tax, adjustment did not have any effect on NCR’s fourth-quarter or 2003 earnings per share.

 

Cash Flow Improvement

 

NCR generated $167 million of cash flow from operations in the fourth quarter of 2003 versus $144 million of cash generated from operations in the same period in 2002. Capital expenditures in the fourth quarter of 2003 were $70 million compared to $60 million of capital expenditures in the year-ago period.

NCR generated $97 million of free cash flow in the fourth quarter of 2003 versus free cash flow of $84 million in the year-ago period, a $13 million improvement. For the full year, free cash flow generation was $212 million, versus negative free cash flow of $12 million in 2002. The $224 million improvement in free cash flow resulted from stronger operations and improvements in working capital management. NCR defines free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures for reworkable service parts, property, plant and equipment and additions to capitalized software.

(1) Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)

 

(2) 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 as a substitute for, or superior to, cash flows from operating activities under GAAP or as a proxy for cash flow available for discretionary spending.

 

Outlook

 

NCR expects growth in its Data Warehousing and Financial Self Service businesses in 2004. Furthermore, Retail Store Automation revenue in 2004 should be comparable to the 2003 revenue level that was aided by 12 percent growth.

 

NCR expects to make further progress on its operating plan in 2004. This progress should more than offset the impact of higher pension expense in 2004 and should result in net earnings growth. This improvement is reflected in the following guidance, for both the full year as well as the seasonally weak first quarter.

Assuming approximately $275 million of capital expenditures, NCR expects cash flow from operations less capital expenditures, or free cash flow, of approximately $100 million in 2004. Given the working capital improvements NCR made in 2003, going forward, free cash flow should more closely approximate net income.
