| • | Financial Self Service revenue growth of 25 percent drives 19 percent operating margin |

DAYTON, Ohio – NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR) today reported earnings of $0.46 per diluted share and revenue of $1.45 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. The year-over-year revenue increase of 7 percent includes 3 percentage points of benefit from foreign currency fluctuations.
Operating income for the third quarter was $59 million versus $33 million in the prior-year period. Included in NCR’s third-quarter operating results was $38 million of pension expense, compared to the $31 million of pension expense included in the third quarter of 2003.
NCR reported third-quarter net income of $44 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, versus net income of $18 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2003.
“Strong revenue growth in our Teradata Data Warehousing and Financial Self Service businesses as well as cost and expense improvements across the company enabled NCR to deliver another solid quarter,” said Mark Hurd, president and chief executive officer of NCR.

Operating Segment Results(1)
Teradata Data Warehousing
14 percent revenue growth drives operating-margin improvement of 5 percentage points
NCR’s Teradata Data Warehousing segment reported record third-quarter revenue of $312 million, up 14 percent from the third quarter of 2003. The third-quarter year-over-year revenue comparison included a benefit of 3 percentage points from foreign currency fluctuations.
Operating income of $42 million increased 100 percent from $21 million in the third quarter of 2003 due to higher volume, improvement in services profitability and reduction in infrastructure costs.
Companies are realizing that in order to make better, faster decisions in this competitive business climate, they must extract detail-level data from operational systems into a central repository that delivers a single, integrated view of the business. This enterprise-wide approach, enabled through Teradata technology and services, makes it possible for these companies to deeply analyze and optimize their financial performance, business operations and customer relationships more effectively and at a significantly lower cost than other approaches.
Financial Self Service
25 percent revenue growth fuels 19 percent operating margin
The Financial Self Service segment generated record third-quarter revenue of $338 million, up from $271 million reported for the year-ago period. Third-quarter revenue growth included a year-over-year benefit of 4 percentage points from foreign currency fluctuations.
Operating income of $63 million increased 34 percent from $47 million in the third quarter of 2003 due to higher revenue and, to a much lesser extent, the positive effect of currency fluctuations.
Globally, NCR is seeing continued growth in upgrades, replacements and the purchase of new automated teller machines (ATMs) as banks focus more on branch banking, transaction migration and compliance with regulatory changes. Motivated by the recently enacted Check 21 legislation, banks in the United States are investing in new deposit-capable ATMs that allow the bank to reduce cash-handling, check-processing and transportation costs, providing a very attractive return on investment while improving the levels of service and convenience for consumers.
-3-
Retail Store Automation
Cost actions and better expense management enable operating improvement
For the third quarter of 2004, Retail Store Automation generated $217 million of revenue, up 3 percent from $210 million in the third quarter of 2003. The third-quarter year-over-year revenue comparison for Retail Store Automation included a benefit of 3 percentage points from foreign currency fluctuations.
Retail Store Automation generated $11 million of operating income in the quarter, an increase of $2 million from the prior-year period due in large part to expense reductions.
Although retailers continue to be disciplined in their capital spending, we are seeing retailers refreshing their point-of-sale systems and expanding their deployment of self-checkout systems.
Customer Services
Cost reductions offset by continued pricing pressure and exited businesses
Customer Services reported revenue of $452 million, down 1 percent from the third quarter of 2003. The third-quarter year-over-year revenue comparison for Customer Services included a benefit of 3 percentage points from foreign currency fluctuations.
The Customer Services operating segment generated $4 million of operating income in the quarter, versus $11 million of operating income in the third quarter of 2003. While results continue to reflect pricing pressure and the decline in higher-margin revenue from exited businesses, the company’s cost reduction and revenue-mix actions are expected to improve Customer Services profitability in 2005.
Non-Operating Items
Other Expense of $2 million in the third quarter of 2004 was down from $8 million in the prior-year period.
NCR’s effective tax rate for 2004 has been reduced from 27 percent to 25 percent. As a result, the company’s tax rate of 23 percent for the third quarter reflects the year-to-date adjustment associated with the lower rate. The reduction is principally due to an increased proportion of operating profits attributable to foreign operations.
During the third quarter of 2004, the company repurchased approximately 2 million shares of NCR common stock for approximately $89 million, which more than offset option-
-4-
exercise activity during the quarter. Year-to-date, NCR has repurchased 6 million shares, which more than offsets the effect of the 3.4 million options that have been exercised. NCR’s board of directors authorized an additional $250 million share-repurchase program at its regularly scheduled board meeting on Oct. 27, 2004.
Cash Flow
NCR doubled its generation of cash from operations in the third quarter to $151 million from $74 million in the third quarter of 2003. Capital expenditures in the third quarter of 2004 were $71 million compared to $52 million of capital expenditures in the year-ago period.
NCR generated $80 million of free cash flow (cash from operations less capital expenditures) in the third quarter of 2004 versus the $22 million of free cash flow generation in the year-ago period. Assuming capital expenditures of approximately $250 million, NCR expects approximately $115 million of free cash flow generation in 2004.

Balance Sheet
NCR ended the third quarter with $625 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, down slightly from the $633 million cash balance on June 30, 2004. NCR’s cash balance declined as significant share-repurchase activity and the funding of the $26 million acquisition of Kinetics, Inc. slightly outpaced free cash flow generated in the third quarter. As of Sept. 30, 2004, NCR had short- and long-term debt of $311 million versus $310 million on June 30, 2004.

Outlook
NCR expects fourth-quarter earnings per share in the $0.76 to $0.81 range, or $0.72 to $0.77 excluding $0.04 of net benefit from gains and charges related to real estate transactions expected in the fourth quarter.
NCR is further increasing full-year 2004 earnings guidance to $2.45 to $2.50 per diluted share, including the net benefit from the gains and charges related to real estate transactions expected in the fourth quarter of 2004 and other previously disclosed items as listed in the reconciliation table below. Excluding the benefit of these items, earnings per share is expected to be $1.48 to $1.53(4). See the table below for a reconciliation of GAAP earnings per share to non-GAAP earnings per share excluding these items.
Assuming $125 million of pension expense in 2005, NCR now expects 2005 earnings per share to be approximately $2.15 to $2.25, an increase from previous 2005 earnings guidance of $2.00 per share. This would approximate a 50 percent increase in earnings per share from NCR’s increased guidance for 2004 earnings, excluding the 2004 items described below.

| (1) | The operating segment results discussed in this earnings release exclude the impact of $38 million of pension expense in the third quarter of 2004 and $31 million of pension expense in the third quarter of 2003. 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. |

| (2) | 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. |
| (3) | 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. 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) | NCR’s management looks at the company’s earnings-per-share 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 its earnings per share excluding these items to manage and determine the effectiveness of its business managers and as a basis for incentive compensation. This non-GAAP measure should not be considered as a substitute for or superior to earnings per share determined in accordance with GAAP. |

NCR Board of Directors Expands Stock-Repurchase Program
DAYTON, Ohio – NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR) today announced that its board of directors has increased its existing stock-repurchase program, authorized by the board in 1999, by an additional $250 million. The new authorization, coupled with the prior board actions, results in a total remaining buyback authorization of $285 million. The company also has a program to use the proceeds from employee stock plans to repurchase NCR common shares.
“This expansion of the company’s stock-repurchase program reflects our increasing confidence in NCR’s ability to drive further profitability improvement,” said Mark Hurd, NCR president and chief executive officer. “NCR’s strong balance sheet and increasing cash from operations afford us the flexibility to drive incremental shareholder returns through share-repurchase activity without detracting from our ability to invest in the growth of our businesses and explore strategic opportunities.”
The stock will be repurchased periodically on an ongoing basis in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions at management’s discretion, in accordance with applicable securities rules regarding issuer repurchases.
