| Statement |
|---|
| We continue to have success transitioning our self-service banking business from onetime perpetual sales into a multiyear subscription-based revenue stream |
| Adjusted EBITDA increased 23% year-over-year and was up 33% FX consistent basis |
| We have such a strong market share that we would expect even with some shifts that will end up in a good place |
| Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 16% this quarter, which represents a 150 basis point increase over the first quarter of 2022 |
| We believe that spinning of NCR's ATMCo in a tax-free distribution, is the best path to unlock shareholder value |
| Upon separation, we believe each company will benefit from increasing operating and financial flexibility, in pursuit of respective and distinct opportunity set |
| We have strong momentum across all five of our business segments, with progress against our strategic initiatives along all of our KPIs |
| The cash flow success in the first quarter coupled with the cash flow that we drove in the fourth quarter so $400 million in two quarters against the target we had of $500 million to delever creates a lot of confidence in our team that we can get to the spin with the balance sheet at the right leverage ratio |
| In hospitality, we continue to experience strong demand across the enterprise and SMB customers |
| First, we're off to a really good start in 2023 and we're excited in particular as we head into a very important year for us |
| So, we feel pretty good as we're going through this |
| In digital banking we continue to have positive momentum in the first quarter |
| Digital banking sales activity was strong with 12 new customer deals and 12 digital banking renewals |
| For the remaining two quarters of 2023, we expect relatively linear sequential quarterly improvements across most financial metrics |
| We possess a robust balance sheet, ample liquidity and strong financial stability to support our growth and the spin transaction |
| This will deliver a modernized digital technology platform for the credit union will advance NCR's digital first market position in the large regional financial institution segment |
| with considerably more profitability in the latter half of the year than the first half of the year and similar spending levels I think we'll be able to do very well in the second half of the year |
| So order book is strong, business is doing great, and the outlook is better |
| We have now generated $400 million of free cash flow over the last two quarters, and are positioned well to meet our targeted leverage |
| As we said before, we generated $209 million of free cash flow in the quarter, driven by higher profitability and an improvement in working capital with the cash conversion cycle improving by two days |
| In self-service banking we continued momentum in our ATM-as-a-Service Solution |
| And as we continue to convert to the as-a-service model despite the headwinds that they create on revenue we're really building a very, very strong recurring business with the ATM-as-a-service |
| The shift to recurring revenue continues to gain traction with ARR up 5% year-over-year |
| We've seen pretty good strength in North America |
| So we have a very healthy supply chain partnership -- we're getting margins |
| We expect it to be strong for the full year |
| We're getting really good backlog -- but we're also we benefited -- a year ago we had a tough quarter everybody did supply chain cost escalated, but our teams did a great job in value engineering expensive parts out we have renegotiated a lot within our supply chain |
| This quarter's results are demonstrative of an exceptional effort of our teams to simultaneously drive financial results, accelerate our strategic plan and ready the company for a pending separation transaction |
| And so we're seeing really good momentum there |
| The remarkable margin expansion from the previous year can be credited to the reduction in direct costs particularly in expenses related to fuel and components as well as the increase in the higher-margin recurring revenue stream |

| This intentional deferral of upfront revenue to recurring revenue lowered revenue growth in retail by three points |
| This intentional deferral of upfront revenue to recurring revenue lowered total revenue growth by three full points |
| During the quarter we shifted roughly $38 million in revenue that would have been upfront previously to recurring revenue, intentional deferral of upfront revenue from recurring revenue lowered revenue growth by six points |
| The strength of the US dollar reduced EPS by $0.09 |
| Adjusted EBITDA was down 13% year-over-year due to lower nonrecurring software revenue and enhanced investment in sales, marketing and R&D to grow this business faster |
| A year ago we were faced with a series of unanticipated geopolitical and macroeconomic challenges, that had a significant impact on our business in the first quarter and it compounded across the remainder of the year |
| That business was a little challenged on the hardware side that the post-COVID balance we experienced last year on POS in hospitality really void revenue last year |
| Adjusted EBITDA declined $15 million or 15% year-over-year and 14% adjusted for FX |
| So we talked about a 3% decline in revenue for the full year for that business |
| The non-GAAP tax rate was 27.4% versus 24.8% in the prior year that reduced EPS by about another $0.02 |
| There has been concern from our investors regarding the potential impact of NCR in the current banking prices |
| The strong US dollar compared to the year ago period had an unfavorable impact of $45 million primarily within our retail and self-service banking segment |
| Adjusted EBITDA margin rate was 26% down compared to the previous year on the same cash rental costs |
| And as you all recall we did not miss a customer commitment throughout all of last year |
| I actually now think we'll not only exceed the $150 million, which would put more pressure on top line, but we're also going to get back to flat for the full year |
| Second, we expect the cybersecurity recovery to be mostly behind us in the near future |
| On April 13, we determined that a single data center outage that impacted sub functionality for a subset of our commerce customers was caused by cyber ransomware incidents |
| The supply chain that we're operating with has held up -- we are seeing costs come back down into the ranges pre first quarter of last year |
| We underperformed in working capital last year |
| Foreign currency exchange rates had an unfavorable impact of $18 million |
