NEWS RELEASE


October 26, 2021         

NCR Announces Third Quarter 2021 Results
Revenue up 20% and Significant Profit Margin Expansion

ATLANTA - NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR) reported financial results today for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Third quarter and other recent highlights include:

Revenue of $1.90 billion, up 20%; Recurring revenue growth of 39%
Significant profit margin expansion driven by a favorable mix of revenue
Cash flow from operations of $497 million; Free cash flow of $125 million
GAAP diluted EPS of $0.06; Non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.69
Acceleration across all strategic growth initiatives

“We delivered solid results in the third quarter with strong growth in recurring revenue streams, higher profitability, and consistent cash generation. Adjusted EBITDA expanded to a multi-year high of 18.5% and year-to-date we have generated over $350 million of free cash flow,” said Michael Hayford, Chief Executive Officer. “More importantly, we made significant progress in the strategic initiatives that are transforming NCR into a software platform and payments company. Strong demand, diligent execution, and strategic traction should allow us to close out a successful 2021 and provide momentum for 2022. The integration of Cardtronics is well underway and we remain enthusiastic about the growth opportunities that the combination will yield.”

In this release, we use certain non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures include “free cash flow,” “adjusted EBITDA,” and others with the words “non-GAAP” in their titles. These non-GAAP measures are listed, described and reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP measures under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” later in this release.





Third Quarter 2021 Operating Results

On June 21, 2021, we completed the acquisition of Cardtronics plc (“Cardtronics”). On August 10, 2021, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) of the United Kingdom approved the transaction without any conditions. All regulatory approvals and consents are now secured, and the transaction is complete. The September 30, 2021 year to date results include the operations of Cardtronics from June 21, 2021 to September 30, 2021 and the results for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 include a full three months for Cardtronics.

Revenue
Third quarter revenue of $1,901 million increased 20% year over year. The following table shows revenue for the third quarter:
$ in millionsQ3 2021Q3 2020% Increase (Decrease)
Banking$1,050 $777 35 %
Retail553 556 (1 %)
Hospitality223 173 29 %
T&T75 83 (10 %)
Total Revenue$1,901 $1,589 20 %
Software & Services Revenue$1,450 $1,123 29 %
Software & Services Revenue %76 %71 %
Recurring Revenue$1,181 $848 39 %
Recurring Revenue %62 %53 %
Note - The results of legacy Cardtronics have been included in the banking segment results.

Banking revenue increased 35% due to higher software and services revenue, which includes the results of Cardtronics, partially offset by a decline in ATM hardware revenue.

Retail revenue decreased 1% due to lower self-checkout hardware revenue partially offset by higher point-of-sale solutions revenue. We are also seeing an impact on the year-over-year comparison due to the shift from selling perpetual software licenses to recurring revenue.

Hospitality revenue increased 29% driven primarily by an increase in point-of-sale solutions revenue across both our enterprise and small-and-medium business customers.

Gross Margin
Third quarter gross margin of $520 million increased from $427 million in the prior year period. Gross margin rate was 27.4%, up from 26.9%. Third quarter gross margin (non-GAAP) of $546 million increased from $446 million in the prior year period. Gross margin rate (non-GAAP) was 28.7%, up from 28.1%. The increases in gross margin, both GAAP and non-GAAP, were driven by a favorable mix of higher margin revenue with increased software and services revenue, partially offset by an increase in costs due to disruptions in the supply chain.

Operating Expenses
Third quarter operating expenses of $363 million increased from $309 million in the prior year period. Third quarter operating expenses (non-GAAP) of $331 million increased from $288 million in the prior year period. The increase in operating expenses, GAAP and non-GAAP, were driven by an increase in research and development costs related to higher strategic investments, as well as an increase due to a full quarter of Cardtronics expenses.

Operating Income
2


Third quarter income from operations of $157 million increased from $118 million in the prior year period. Third quarter operating income (non-GAAP) of $215 million increased from $158 million in the prior year period. The changes in operating income, both GAAP and non-GAAP, were driven by the impacts to gross margin and operating expenses described above.

Other Expense/Income
Third quarter other expense of $115 million increased from $86 million in the prior year period. The increase in other expense was due to higher interest expense and $42 million of extinguishment costs related to the redemption of $400 million, 8.125% senior notes due 2025. Third quarter other expense (non-GAAP) of $71 million increased from $66 million. The increase in other expense (non-GAAP) was due to higher interest expense.

Income Tax Expense/Benefit
Third quarter income tax expense of $29 million increased from an income tax benefit of zero in the prior year period. The third quarter effective income tax rate was 69%, compared to zero in the prior year period. The increase in income tax expense was primarily driven by a valuation allowance related to interest expense deduction carryforwards and a change in discrete tax expenses and benefits. Third quarter income tax expense (non-GAAP) of $41 million increased from $14 million in the prior year period. The third quarter effective income tax rate (non-GAAP) was 28.5%, compared to 15.2% in the prior year period. The increase in income tax expense (non-GAAP) was primarily driven by higher income before taxes, a valuation allowance related to interest expense deduction carryforwards and a change in discrete tax expenses and benefits.

Net Income from Continuing Operations Attributable to NCR
Third quarter net income from continuing operations attributable to NCR of $12 million decreased from net income from continuing operations attributable to NCR of $31 million in the prior year period. The decrease was driven by the extinguishment costs incurred related to the redemption of $400 million, 8.125% senior notes due 2025 and higher income tax expense, described above.

Adjusted EBITDA
Third quarter adjusted EBITDA of $352 million increased from $249 million in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin rate increased to 18.5%, compared to 15.7% in the prior year period. The increase in adjusted EBITDA was driven by impacts to gross margin and operating expenses, described above.

Cash Flow
Third quarter cash provided by operating activities of $497 million increased from cash provided by operating activities of $212 million in the prior year period. Third quarter free cash flow was $125 million, compared to free cash flow of $160 million in the prior year period. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was higher primarily due to the impact from the initial sale of trade accounts receivables under the agreement entered into during the 3rd quarter of 2021. The decrease in free cash flow was driven by changes in working capital period over period.

Second Half 2021 Outlook

The company provided the following outlook in our Q2 earnings call on August 3, 2021.

Revenue of $4.0 - $4.1 billion
Adjusted EBITDA to be $700 - $750 million
Diluted non-GAAP earnings per share of $1.30 - $1.50
Free cash flow of $325 - $375 million

Considering both our results of the third quarter and the probability of continued global supply chain challenges, we expect to be at the lower end of these guided ranges.

With respect to our Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share guidance, we do not provide a reconciliation to the respective GAAP measures because we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty the reconciling items that may affect GAAP net income from continuing operations and GAAP earnings per share without unreasonable effort. The reconciling items are primarily the future impact of special tax items, capital structure transactions, restructuring, pension mark-to-market transactions, acquisitions or divestitures, or other events. These reconciling items are uncertain, depend on various factors and could significantly impact, either individually or in the aggregate, the GAAP measures. Refer to the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for additional information regarding our use of non-GAAP financial measures.

Impact from COVID-19

We continue to navigate through the challenging times presented by COVID-19 with a sharp focus on safeguarding our employees, helping our customers and managing impacts on our supply chain. Despite the unprecedented environment, our teams are executing at a high level and we are advancing our strategy.

The COVID-19 pandemic is complex and continues to evolve. While it is difficult to project the long-term impact of the pandemic, we expect it will negatively impact our business at least in the short-term. The ultimate impact on our overall financial condition and operating results will depend on the currently unknowable duration and severity of the pandemic, supply chain challenges and cost escalations including materials, labor and freight, and any additional governmental and public actions taken in response. We continue to evaluate the long-term impact that COVID-19 may have on our business model. There can be no assurance that the measures we have taken or will take will completely offset the negative impact of COVID-19.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Non-GAAP Financial Measures. While NCR reports its results in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States, or GAAP, in this release NCR also uses the non-GAAP measures listed and described below.

Non-GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS), Gross Margin (non-GAAP), Gross Margin Rate (non-GAAP), Operating Expenses (non-GAAP), Operating Income (non-GAAP), Operating Margin Rate (non-GAAP), Other (Expense) (non-GAAP), Income Tax Expense (non-GAAP), Effective Income Tax Rate (non-GAAP), and Net Income from Continuing Operations Attributable to NCR (non-GAAP). NCR’s non-GAAP diluted EPS, gross margin (non-GAAP), gross margin rate (non-GAAP), operating expenses (non-GAAP), operating income (non-GAAP), operating margin rate (non-GAAP), other (expense) (non-GAAP), income tax expense (non-GAAP), effective income tax rate (non-GAAP), and net income from continuing operations attributable to NCR (non-GAAP) are determined by excluding, as applicable, pension mark-to-market adjustments, pension settlements, pension curtailments and pension special termination benefits, as well as other special items, including amortization of acquisition related intangibles and transformation and restructuring activities, from NCR’s GAAP earnings per share, gross margin, gross margin rate, expenses, income from operations, operating margin rate, other (expense), income tax expense, effective income tax rate and net income from continuing operations attributable to NCR, respectively. Due to the non-operational nature of these pension and other special items, NCR's management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate year-over-year operating performance. NCR believes these measures are useful for investors because they provide a more complete understanding of NCR's underlying operational performance, as well as consistency and comparability with NCR's past reports of financial results.

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA). NCR determines Adjusted EBITDA for a given period based on its GAAP net income from continuing operations attributable to NCR plus interest expense, net; plus income tax expense (benefit); plus depreciation and amortization; plus other income (expense); plus pension mark-to-market adjustments, pension settlements, pension curtailments and pension special termination benefits and other special items, including amortization of acquisition related intangibles and restructuring charges, among others. NCR uses Adjusted EBITDA to manage and measure the performance of its business segments. NCR also uses Adjusted EBITDA to manage and determine the effectiveness of its business managers and as a basis for incentive compensation. NCR believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors because it is an indicator of the strength and performance of the Company's ongoing business operations, including its ability to fund discretionary spending such as capital expenditures, strategic acquisitions and other investments.

Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated based on Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue.

Free Cash Flow. NCR defines free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment, less additions to capitalized software, plus/minus restricted cash settlement activity, plus acquisition-related items, less the impact from the initial sale of trade accounts receivables under the agreement entered into during the 3rd quarter of 2021, and plus pension contributions and pension settlements. 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, which can be used 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. Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since there may be other nondiscretionary expenditures that are not deducted from the measure. Free cash flow does not have uniform definitions under GAAP and, therefore, NCR's definitions may differ from other companies' definitions of these measures.

NCR's definitions and calculations of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly-titled measures reported by other companies and cannot, therefore, be compared with similarly-titled measures of other companies. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as substitutes for, or superior to, results determined in accordance with GAAP.

Use of Certain Terms

Recurring revenue includes all revenue streams from contracts where there is a predictable revenue pattern that will occur at regular intervals with a relatively high degree of certainty. This includes hardware and software maintenance revenue, cloud revenue, payment processing revenue, interchange and network revenue, and certain professional services arrangements, as well as term-based software license arrangements that include customer termination rights.

16 While NCR reports its results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States, comments made during this conference call and in these materials will include non-GAAP measures. These measures are included to provide additional useful information regarding NCR's financial results, and are not a substitute for their comparable GAAP measures. Non-GAAP Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS), Gross Margin (non-GAAP), Gross Margin Rate (non-GAAP), Operating Expenses (non- GAAP), Operating Income (non-GAAP), Operating Margin Rate (non-GAAP), Other (Expense) (non-GAAP), Income Tax Expense (non-GAAP), Effective Income Tax Rate (non-GAAP), and Net Income from Continuing Operations Attributable to NCR (non- GAAP). NCR’s non-GAAP diluted EPS, gross margin (non-GAAP), gross margin rate (non-GAAP), operating expenses (non-GAAP), operating income (non-GAAP), operating margin rate (non-GAAP), other (expense) (non-GAAP), income tax expense (non-GAAP), effective income tax rate (non-GAAP), and net income from continuing operations attributable to NCR (non-GAAP) are determined by excluding, as applicable, pension mark-to-market adjustments, pension settlements, pension curtailments and pension special termination benefits, as well as other special items, including amortization of acquisition related intangibles and transformation and restructuring activities, from NCR’s GAAP earnings per share, gross margin, gross margin rate, expenses, income from operations, operating margin rate, other (expense), income tax expense, effective income tax rate and net income from continuing operations attributable to NCR, respectively. Due to the non-operational nature of these pension and other special items, NCR's management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate year-over-year operating performance. NCR believes these measures are useful for investors because they provide a more complete understanding of NCR's underlying operational performance, as well as consistency and comparability with NCR's past reports of financial results. Free Cash Flow. NCR defines free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment, less additions to capitalized software, plus/minus restricted cash settlement activity, plus acquisition related items, less the impact from the initial sale of Trade accounts receivables under the agreement entered into during the 3rd quarter of 2021, and plus pension contributions and pension settlements. 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, which can be used 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. Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since there may be other nondiscretionary expenditures that are not deducted from the measure. Free cash flow does not have uniform definitions under GAAP and, therefore, NCR's definitions may differ from other companies' definitions of these measures. NON-GAAP MEASURES


 
17 Net Debt and Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA). NCR determines Net Debt based on its total debt less cash and cash equivalents, with total debt being defined as total short-term borrowings plus total long-term debt. NCR believes that Net Debt provides useful information to investors because NCR’s management reviews Net Debt as part of its management of overall liquidity, financial flexibility, capital structure and leverage. In addition, certain debt rating agencies, creditors and credit analysts monitor NCR’s Net Debt as part of their assessments of NCR’s business. NCR determines Adjusted EBITDA for a given period based on its GAAP net income from continuing operations attributable to NCR plus interest expense, net; plus income tax expense (benefit); plus depreciation and amortization; plus other income (expense); plus pension mark-to-market adjustments, pension settlements, pension curtailments and pension special termination benefits and other special items, including amortization of acquisition related intangibles and restructuring charges, among others. NCR uses Adjusted EBITDA to manage and measure the performance of its business segments. NCR also uses Adjusted EBITDA to manage and determine the effectiveness of its business managers and as a basis for incentive compensation. NCR believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors because it is an indicator of the strength and performance of the Company's ongoing business operations, including its ability to fund discretionary spending such as capital expenditures, strategic acquisitions and other investments. NCR believes that its ratio of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors because it is an indicator of the company's ability to meet its future financial obligations. In addition, the Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio is measures frequently used by investors and credit rating agencies. The Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio is calculated by dividing Net Debt by trailing twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA. NCR management's definitions and calculations of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly-titled measures reported by other companies and cannot, therefore, be compared with similarly-titled measures of other companies. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as substitutes for, or superior to, results determined in accordance with GAAP. These non- GAAP measures are reconciled to their corresponding GAAP measures in the following slides and elsewhere in these materials. These reconciliations and other information regarding these non-GAAP measures are also available on the Investor Relations page of NCR's website at www.ncr.com. NON-GAAP MEASURES
