Item 1.01 Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement.

 

At meetings held on October 25 and 26, 2005, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of NCR Corporation (“NCR” or the “Company”), as well as the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) and the Committee on Directors and Governance of the Board (the “Committee on Directors and Governance”), approved certain actions as described below.

 

Chairman of the Board Compensation

 

On October 26, 2005, based upon the recommendations of the Committee on Directors and Governance, the Board established the following compensation for its former Chairman, Lars Nyberg, and current Chairman, James Ringler, related to their service on the Board:

 

Mr. Nyberg, who served as Chairman until his resignation from such position effective July 27, 2005, shall receive a retainer in the amount of $16,644 for his services as Chairman for the period from July 1, 2005, through July 27, 2005. This amount represents the unpaid, pro-rated portion of the retainer for the non-employee Chairman previously established and disclosed by the Company in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed May 2, 2005. Mr. Nyberg will also receive a retainer of $20,000 for his services as a non-employee director for the period from July 28, 2005, through the conclusion of the regular meeting of the Board on October 26, 2005, at which time Mr. Nyberg’s resignation from the Board became effective.

 

Mr. Ringler will be compensated by the Company for the time period beginning July 27, 2005, through August 7, 2005, during which time Mr. Ringler served as Chairman of the Board in addition to his duties as the Company’s President and Interim Chief Executive Officer, in accordance with the terms of the July 11, 2005, letter agreement relating to his service as President and Interim Chief Executive Officer, with no additional compensation to be paid for Mr. Ringler’s service as Chairman. A copy of the July 11, 2005, letter agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed July 13, 2005. Due to the increased time commitment required of the Chairman during the Company’s transition to a new President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Ringler will receive a retainer for his services as Chairman of the Board for the time period from August 8, 2005, through October 31, 2005, in the amount of $225,000. During the time period commencing on November 1, 2005, and ending upon the conclusion of the Company’s 2006 Annual Stockholders’ Meeting, the Company will pay Mr. Ringler a retainer for his services as Chairman of the Board at the rate of $20,000 per month. In addition to the foregoing, until the conclusion of the Company’s 2006 Annual Stockholders’ Meeting, the Company will provide Mr. Ringler access to the Company’s e-mail system; reasonable secretarial support and office space; use of the corporate aircraft for business travel; and use of the corporate aircraft for additional travel for personal use, limited to the aircraft’s availability and subject to a limitation of $35,000 in imputed income per year, for which the Company will provide Mr. Ringler a tax gross-up sufficient to cover federal and state income taxes related thereto. The Board further determined that, because of the equity grants previously made to Mr. Ringler pursuant to the July 11, 2005, letter agreement, no further stock options or stock grants will be made to Mr. Ringler under the NCR Management Stock Plan for his service as Chairman or as a non-employee director during 2005.

 

Restricted Stock Award to NCR Executive

 

On October 25, 2005, the Compensation Committee granted a restricted stock award to Michael Koehler, Senior Vice President, Teradata Division. In connection with this award, the Compensation Committee considered Mr. Koehler’s current compensation, performance, competitive market data and retention requirements for business continuity purposes. The Committee granted Mr. Koehler a number of restricted shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair market value of $1,500,000 as of October 25, 2005, pursuant to the Company’s standard 2005 Restricted Stock Agreement for retention awards under the NCR Management Stock Plan. A copy of this restricted stock agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.3 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed May 2, 2005. Based upon a per share fair market value of $31.14, calculated by averaging the high and low stock price on October 25, 2005, the resulting grant to Mr. Koehler is a total of 48,170 restricted shares. Fifty percent (50%) of the award will vest on the second anniversary of the grant, or October 25, 2007, and the remaining fifty percent (50%) will vest on the third anniversary of the grant, or October 25, 2008.

NCR Reports Third-Quarter 2005 Results

 

    Teradata Data Warehousing delivers 16 percent revenue growth
    Financial Self Service generates 17 percent operating margin
    Customer Services operating margin improves 4 percentage points
    More than 50 percent increase in year-to-date cash generated from operations

 

DAYTON, Ohio NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR) today reported earnings of $1.18 per share and revenue of $1.50 billion for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2005. The 3 percent revenue increase from the third quarter of 2004 was benefited by 1 percentage point from currency fluctuations. Revenue comparisons for each of NCR’s businesses were benefited by approximately 1 percentage point.

 

NCR reported third-quarter net income of $222 million, or $1.18 per share. This included the benefit of $137 million from the favorable settlement of prior-year tax audits. Excluding the tax item, NCR generated $85 million of net income, or $0.45 per share.(1)

 

“I want to congratulate the NCR employees on their successful delivery of a very strong quarter which resulted in significant earnings expansion,” said Bill Nuti, chief executive officer of NCR. “Key drivers of our performance included higher-than-expected revenue growth and profitability in our Teradata Data Warehousing business, substantial profit improvement from the second quarter in our Financial Self Service business, continued margin improvement in our Customer Services business, and ongoing success in delivering on our multi-year profit improvement plan.”

Operating Segment Results(2)

 

Teradata Data Warehousing

 

NCR’s Teradata Data Warehousing segment reported third-quarter revenue of $361 million, up 16 percent from the third quarter of 2004. Demand for Teradata’s market-leading technology resulted in some customer purchases occurring earlier than previously expected.

 

Operating income of $72 million increased 71 percent from the prior-year period. Operating margin increased 7 percentage points to 20 percent. The increase in profitability was due to higher volume and increased profitability from support services.

 

Financial Self Service (ATMs)

 

The Financial Self Service segment generated third-quarter revenue of $349 million, up 3 percent from a very strong year-ago period.

 

Operating income of $60 million was down slightly from $63 million generated in the strong third quarter of 2004, primarily due to lower product margins caused by competitive pricing pressure.

 

Retail Store Automation

 

Retail Store Automation revenue of $209 million was down 4 percent from the third quarter of 2004.

 

Retail Store Automation operating profit of $9 million was down from $11 million in the third quarter of 2004, largely due to lower revenue.

 

Customer Services

 

Customer Services revenue was down 4 percent to $451 million due to the company’s strategy to reduce revenues associated with third-party products. Structural changes being made to optimize efficiency resulted in a $17 million improvement in operating income from the third quarter of 2004.

 

Non-Operating Items

 

Other Expense was $2 million in the third quarter of 2005, unchanged from the $2 million reported in the prior-year period.

 

The company’s third-quarter results included a non-cash $137 million tax benefit from the favorable settlement of prior-year tax audits. Excluding the tax benefit, the company’s tax rate was 22 percent in the quarter.

Cash Flow

 

NCR’s cash from operations increased to $162 million from $151 million in the third quarter of 2004. Capital expenditures in the third quarter of 2005 were $61 million, compared to $71 million of capital expenditures in the year-ago period. NCR generated $101 million of free cash flow (cash from operations less capital expenditures) in the third quarter of 2005 versus $80 million in the year-ago period.(3)

 

Assuming approximately $235 million of capital expenditures, NCR is increasing its expectation for free cash flow to a range of $280 million to $300 million in 2005. This compares to the company’s prior free cash flow expectation of $240 million to $250 million.

Balance Sheet

 

NCR ended the third quarter with $740 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, an increase from the $724 million cash balance on June 30, 2005. NCR’s cash balance increased due to free cash flow generation and proceeds from employee stock plans exceeding net cash used for share repurchases.

 

NCR repurchased approximately 3 million shares of NCR common stock for approximately $102 million during the third quarter. The company’s board of directors authorized an additional $500 million share-repurchase program at its regularly scheduled board meeting on Oct. 26, 2005. The company now has approximately $554 million authorized for future share repurchases.

 

As of Sept. 30, 2005, NCR had short- and long-term debt of $308 million, unchanged from June 30, 2005.

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.

 

(1) 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 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.

 

(2) The operating segment results discussed in this earnings release exclude the impact of $31 million of pension expense in the third quarter of 2005 and $38 million of pension expense in the third quarter of 2004. 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) 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) Included in the first-quarter results was a $0.05 per-share charge to decrease the value of an equity investment which was partially offset by a $0.03 per-share benefit from the reduction of previously estimated accruals for purchased goods and services. The second quarter included a $0.02 charge related to the multi-year funding of NCR’s charitable foundation.

 

(5) Items include the benefit of $0.01 from the receipt of an acquisition break-up fee, a $0.04 benefit from the release of a reserve held for exiting countries in the Middle East and Africa region and a $0.02 benefit from the recovery of a non-trade receivable which was previously reserved.

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 $500 million. The new authorization, coupled with the prior board actions, results in a total remaining buyback authorization of $554 million. The company also has a program to use the proceeds from employee stock plans to repurchase NCR common shares.

 

“This increase in the company’s stock-repurchase program reflects the board of directors’ confidence in NCR’s ability to drive further profitability improvement,” said Pete Bocian, senior vice president and chief financial officer. “NCR’s strong balance sheet and increasing cash from operations provide us with the flexibility to drive incremental shareholder returns through systematic share-repurchase activity while continuing to invest for growth in our existing businesses.”

 

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.
