To Our Fellow  
Shareholders

Andy Mattes
President and Chief Executive Officer

Nine months into the position as Diebold’s president and chief executive officer I have learned much about the opportunities and 
challenges we face as an organization. During that period, I visited every major geography around the world, met with many of 
our customers and led discussions with thousands of Diebold employees at every level of the organization. This review provided 
compelling evidence of what I believed to be true when I accepted this position – there is enormous value within Diebold yet to 
be unleashed. We have a strong base of customers who recognize the value of our solutions and services and are eager to do 
more business with us. A key asset is our highly respected brand with a heritage of quality service dating back more than 150 
years. However, of late, Diebold’s star has not shone as brightly as it could.

Over the course of the last five years, topline revenue declined, gross margin and operating profit were reduced and free cash 
flow fell significantly. These trends are unsustainable and tell us that a turnaround is necessary. Our objective is to reverse these 
trends, reignite Diebold and build a long, lasting runway going forward. 

Diebold 2.0. We are strengthening every aspect of our 
organization to build an improved Diebold with a prosperous 
and secure future. Our work to restore sustainable, profitable 
growth  is  designed  to  benefit  our  customers  and  increase 
shareholder value over the long term. 

“We are strengthening every 

aspect of our organization to 

build an improved Diebold with  

The  company  we  are  building  embraces  new  trends, 
leverages  breakthrough  technologies  and  collaborates 
with customers and partners to create winning solutions. This can be seen in how we approach branch transformation – where 
financial institutions seek solutions that can execute a broad range of transactions in order to lower their operational costs while 
increasing customer service. Our approach in this space can be found in our various branch transformation technologies, including 
the Opteva® 923 In-Lobby Teller (ILT). Our ILT leverages advanced video, deposit automation and other advanced transaction 
technology to accelerate service to customers and allow branch personnel to focus on more value-added services.

a prosperous and secure future.”

The  Diebold  429  ATM  provides  another  example  of  innovation  at  work.  In  emerging  markets  such  as  India  and  Brazil,  there 
is  a  growing  need  to  deliver  automated  banking  services  to  millions  of  under-banked  consumers  living  in  rural  areas  with 
underdeveloped  power  infrastructure.  The  solution  had  to  be  affordable  and  capable  of  operating  in  environments  with 

DIEBOLD 2.0        1

FPOinconsistent power availability. Embracing this challenge, our India team in only six months took the 429 from concept to 
successful deployment. Its intelligent power management system reduces power draw and can switch between AC, solar or 
on-board battery sources.

The success of the ILT and the 429 – as well as the early returns we are seeing in GAS, the Brazil logical security company 
we acquired late in 2012 – illustrates the kind of company we need to become – nimble, innovative, cost-efficient and, most 
importantly,  consistently  profitable.  There  is  a  strong  case  for  change.  In  recent  years  Diebold  took  several  steps  towards 
becoming a services-led, software enabled company. There were notable advances along the way. Yet we did not deliver on the 
financial performance that you, or we, expect.

Strengths That Support a New Trajectory

We confront our challenges with confidence that Diebold is armed with notable strengths. These include a well-regarded 
brand in financial self-service, a service organization unmatched in our industry, and a global presence that extends to more 
than 90 countries. We have made progress towards our goal of becoming a services-led, software enabled solutions provider. 
Most importantly, we enjoy strong relationships with a loyal base of customers who see us as their business partner and look 
to us to help them solve their business challenges. 

Secular market trends also provide opportunity. In financial self-service, we expect customer demand for outsourcing, branch 
transformation solutions and deposit automation to grow during the next several years. 

We also see growth opportunities ahead in the electronic security space, as customers across multiple industries seek more 
integrated and comprehensive solutions, such as our new web-based security management tool, SecureStat®.

I am excited about our prospects to improve performance and unlock enterprise value. Our agenda for change is specific, 
straightforward and data-driven. In 2013 we began implementation of a turnaround strategy supported by four core pillars:

Reduce our cost structure

•	
•	 Generate increased free cash flow

•	 Attract the talent needed to excel and innovate, all of 

which will, in turn…

•	 Generate sustainable, profitable growth

Implementation began in 2013, though the initiatives to realize these objectives will require more time to fully implement. Correcting 
our shortcomings is the work not of a single quarter, but of multiple years. Therefore, our efforts are sequenced in three phases that 
we describe as Crawl, walk and run. Our Crawl phase, which is focused on stabilizing the business and laying the foundation 
for long-term systemic improvement, will continue throughout 2014. As we gather momentum in the Walk phase, we will drive 
automation, enable further operational improvements and clear a path for future growth. We fully expect Diebold 2.0 to achieve its 
potential in the Run phase as the organization accelerates growth.

2013 ANNUAL REPORT

An Eight-Point 
 Program to Redefine 
Our Business

Underpinned by the four core 

pillars, our turnaround strategy 

encompasses eight specific 

actions to achieve top-tier 

performance and generate 

sustainable, profitable growth.

An Eight-Point Program  
to Redefine Our Business

Establish a CompEtitivE Cost struCturE. 

Reducing  our  fixed  cost  envelope  is  fundamental.  The  $150  million  multi-year 

cost-reduction plan launched in 2013 will drive efficiency while reducing general 

and  administrative  costs  and  the  cost  of  goods  sold.  In  2013,  many  Diebold 

employees elected to participate in a voluntary early retirement program (VERP). 

This initiative enabled us to better align our workforce with global opportunities 

while  opening  the  door  for  new  talent  and  advancement  opportunities  for  

high-performing colleagues. 

We  acknowledge  that  our  existing  information  technology  (IT)  systems  do  not 

provide the performance and consistency required by a truly global organization. 

Our  new  partnerships  with  Oracle  and  Infosys  will  help  us  build  a  world-class 

IT infrastructure, providing a comprehensive and consistent platform to improve 

our processes and give us the analytical data necessary to support our business 

operations at lower cost.

DrivE sustainablE improvEmEnt in Cash flow. 

We  are  committed  to  improving  our  cash  generation  to  increase  shareholder 

value  and  fuel  the  investments  necessary  to  grow  our  business.  An  emphasis 

on working capital improvements and cash generation now extends far beyond 

our finance organization – it is a main-stage requirement in every department in 

every region. 

improvE salEs EffECtivEnEss.

Our sales teams must enhance skills, tools and coverage to reach more prospects 

more  effectively.  Global  deployment  of  Salesforce.com  will  enhance  our  ability 

to  plan,  forecast  and  productively  allocate  resources.  In  addition,  a  simplified 

compensation structure provides consistency across the organization and better 

aligns pay with performance.

inCrEasE spEED anD agility. 

Streamlining our management structure will drive greater accountability, 

accelerate decision making and facilitate a truly global approach in which 

the best ideas move to market quickly. We are fostering a philosophy that 

views change not as an obstacle, but as an enabler of progress.

instill a winning CulturE grounDED in ExECution.

Our  people  thrive  when  we  approach  opportunities  confident  in  our 

solutions  and  in  our  ability  to  deliver  great  value  to  customers.  The 

message we are conveying to every member of the organization: Our job 

is not merely to participate in a market, but to succeed, and win through a 

culture built upon accountability and execution.

CollaboratE with CustomErs anD partnErs  

to DrivE innovativE solutions.

There  is  no  better  way  to  accelerate  new  ideas  than  through  teamwork 

with  capable  partners  and  collaboration  with  customers.  This  approach 

reduces development time and cost, improves our geographic sensitivity 

and gives us greater visibility to local market needs. 

furthEr lEvEragE sErviCEs anD softwarE. 

We  expect  the  commoditization  of  hardware  to  continue,  the  size  and 

importance  of  the  software  stack  to  increase,  and  our  expertise  in 

system integration and services to be a key differentiator. Our objective 

is  to  further  expand  the  percentage  of  sales  derived  from  services  and 

software, which will exceed 60 percent after our transformation. 

gEnEratE long-tErm, profitablE growth. 

These seven actions are designed to enable us to reach our core objective – 

profitable growth that endures. A commitment to operational rigor, improved 

analytics and data-driven decision making will position Diebold to benefit 

from  secular  trends  in  outsourcing  and  mobility,  expand  our  electronic 

security business and lead us to growth both organically and inorganically.

DIEBOLD 2.0        5

“As we continue forward, we will temper urgency with 

patience, recognizing that our objective is not a quick 

fix, but a transformation that is sustainable.”

Leadership at Every Level

Our  plan  to  create  a  sustainable  growth  trajectory  is  tangible  and  achievable.  There  is  no  question  that 
a tremendous amount of work lies ahead as we move from Crawl to Walk and finally the Run phase of 
implementation.  As  we  continue  forward,  we  will  temper  urgency  with  patience,  recognizing  that  our 
objective is not a quick fix, but a transformation that is sustainable.

Most importantly, our strategy will be brought to life through the efforts of highly engaged employees at 
every level of our global organization. As a team, we will embrace the change necessary for our company to 
grow and thrive in the years ahead. I am convinced we have the energy and talent to help make 2.0 the best 
version of Diebold ever.

Sincerely,

Andy Mattes

GENERAL

Diebold, Incorporated (collectively with its subsidiaries, the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Ohio in 
August 1876, succeeding a proprietorship established in 1859.

The Company is a global leader in providing integrated services and software, financial self-service delivery and security systems 
to primarily the financial, commercial, retail and other markets.  The Company today has approximately 16,000 employees with 
representation in more than 90 countries worldwide.  The Company recently unveiled its multi-year turnaround strategy, Diebold 
2.0, at the Investment Community Conference in November of 2013.  The objective of Diebold 2.0 is to transform the Company 
into a world-class, services-led and software enabled provider of secure, convenient and efficient solutions for its customers.  The 
turnaround strategy will follow a “Crawl, Walk, Run” approach, which requires the core business operations to be stabilized in 
the “Crawl” phase and build the foundation for future growth in the “Walk” and “Run” phases.  Four core pillars provide the 
Company a clear path toward reaching this multi-year objective:

•  Reduce its cost structure and improve its near-term delivery and execution.

•  Generate increased free cash flow in order to fund the investments necessary to drive profitable growth, while 

preserving the ability to return value to shareholders in the form of reliable dividends and, as appropriate, share 
repurchases.

•  Attract and retain the talent necessary to drive innovation and the focused execution of the transformation strategy.

•  Return the Company to a sustainable, profitable growth trajectory.

The Company sees opportunities to leverage its capabilities in services, software and innovation to meet the needs of its rapidly 
evolving markets.  Sales of systems and equipment are made directly to customers by the Company’s sales personnel, manufacturers’ 
representatives and distributors globally.  The sales and support organizations work closely with customers and their consultants 
to analyze and fulfill the customers’ needs.  The Company has sharpened its focus on executing its core strategies in financial self-
service (FSS) and electronic security.  This includes making the appropriate investments to deliver growth within these areas.  
Finally, the Company remains committed to a disciplined risk assessment process, focused on proactively identifying and mitigating 
potential risks to the Company's continued success.  

SERVICE AND PRODUCT SOLUTIONS

The Company has two core lines of business: Self-Service Solutions and Security Solutions, which the Company integrates based 
on its customers’ needs.  Financial information for the service and product solutions can be found in note 19 to the consolidated

in a cost-effective manner.

Security Solutions

From the safes and vaults that the Company first manufactured in 1859 to the full range of electronic security offerings it provides 
today, the Company’s integrated security solutions utilize advanced products and an extensive services portfolio for its customers' 
unique needs. The Company provides its customers with the latest technological advances to better protect their assets, improve 
their workflow and increase their return on investment. The Company also provides internet banking, online payment and mobile

Election and Lottery Systems
The Company offers election and lottery systems product solutions and support to the government in Brazil.  The Company provides 
elections and lottery equipment, networking, tabulation and diagnostic software development, training, support and maintenance.

OPERATIONS

The principal raw materials used by the Company in its manufacturing operations are steel, plastics, and electronic parts and 
components, which are purchased from various major suppliers.  These materials and components are generally available in ample 
quantities. 

The Company’s operating results and the amount and timing of revenue are affected by numerous factors including production 
schedules, customer priorities, sales volume and sales mix.  During the past several years, the Company has changed the focus of 
its self-service business to that of a total solutions and integrated services approach. 

4

The  Company  carries  working  capital  mainly  related  to  trade  receivables  and  inventories.    Inventories  generally  are  only 
manufactured or purchased as orders are received from customers.  The Company’s normal and customary payment terms generally 
range from 30 to 90 days from date of invoice.  The Company generally does not offer extended payment terms.  The Company 
also  provides  financing  arrangements  to  customers  that  are  largely  classified  and  accounted  for  as  sales-type  leases.   As  of 
December 31, 2013, the Company’s net investment in finance lease receivables was $105,491.

SEGMENTS AND FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT GEOGRAPHIC AREAS

In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company began management of its business on a regional geographic basis, changing from the 
previous model, which was a more condensed geographic basis.  In order to align the Company's external reporting of its financial 
results with this change, the Company has modified its segment reporting.  The Company now reports the following five segments:  
North America (NA), Asia Pacific (AP), Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), Latin America (LA) and Brazil. 

The five geographic segments sell and service FSS and security systems around the globe, as well as election and lottery 
solutions in Brazil, through wholly-owned subsidiaries, majority-owned joint ventures and independent distributors in most 
major countries. Segment financial information can be found in note 19 to the consolidated financial statements, which is 
contained in Item 8 of this annual report on Form 10-K.

Sales to customers outside the United States in relation to total consolidated net sales were $1,493,386 or 52.3 percent in 2013, 
$1,458,019 or 48.7 percent in 2012 and $1,494,681 or 52.7 percent in 2011.

Property, plant and equipment, at cost, located in the United States totaled $413,315, $468,575 and $455,814 as of December 31, 
2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and property, plant and equipment, at cost, located outside the United States totaled $185,779, 
$193,335 and $186,442 as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Additional  financial  information  regarding  the  Company’s  international  operations  is  included  in  note 19  to  the  consolidated 
financial statements, which is contained in Item 8 of this annual report on Form 10-K. The Company’s non-U.S. operations are 
subject  to  normal  international  business  risks  not  generally  applicable  to  domestic  business.    These  risks  include  currency 
fluctuation,  new  and  different  legal  and  regulatory  requirements  in  local  jurisdictions,  political  and  economic  changes  and 
disruptions,  tariffs  or  other  barriers,  potentially  adverse  tax  consequences  and  difficulties  in  staffing  and  managing  foreign 
operations.   

PRODUCT BACKLOG

The Company's product backlog was approximately $728,811 and $529,716 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  The 
backlog includes orders estimated or projected to be shipped or installed within 12 months. Although the Company believes the 
orders included in the backlog are firm, some orders may be canceled by customers without penalty, and the Company may elect 
to  permit  cancellation  of  orders  without  penalty  where  management  believes  it  is  in  the  Company's  best  interests  to  do  so.  
Historically, the Company has not experienced significant cancellations within its product backlog. Additionally, over 50 percent 
of the Company's revenues are derived from its service business, for which backlog information is not measured. Therefore, the 
Company does not believe that its product backlog, as of any particular date, is necessarily indicative of revenues for any future 
period.  

COMPETITION

The Company participates in many highly competitive businesses with some services and products in direct competition with 
similar services and products and others with alternative products that have similar uses or produce similar results.  The Company 
distinguishes itself by providing unique value with a wide range of services and software capabilities tailored to meet customers' 
needs.  The Company believes, based upon outside independent industry surveys, that it is a leading service provider for and 
manufacturer of FSS systems in the United States and is also a market leader internationally. In the area of automated transaction 
systems, the Company competes on a global basis primarily with NCR Corporation and Wincor-Nixdorf.  On a regional basis, the 
Company competes with many other hardware and software companies including, but not limited to, GRG Banking Equipment 
Co., Ltd. and Nautilus Hyosung in AP and Itautec and Perto in LA.  In the security service and product markets, the Company 
competes with national, regional and local security companies.  Of these competitors, some compete in only one or two product 
lines, while others sell a broad spectrum of security services and products.  The unavailability of comparative sales information 
and the large variety of individual services and products make it difficult to give reasonable estimates of the Company's competitive 
ranking in or share of the security market within the financial services, commercial, retail and government sectors.  However, the 
Company is a uniquely positioned security service and solution provider to global, national, regional and local financial, commercial 
and industrial customers.  The Company also has a strong position in North America and in global markets as a premier security 

5

service provider that offers a full portfolio of security monitoring and managed services, as well as a full spectrum of systems 
integration and enterprise level capabilities. 

The Company provides elections systems product solutions and support to the Brazilian government. Competition in this market 
is  limited  and  based  upon  technology  pre-qualification  demonstrations  to  the  Brazilian  government.    Due  to  the  technology 
investment required in elections systems, barriers to entry in this market are high.

RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT AND ENGINEERING

Customer demand for self-service and security technologies is growing. In order to meet this demand, the Company is focused on 
delivering innovation to its customers by continuing to invest in technology solutions that enable customers to reduce costs and 
improve efficiency.  Expenditures for research, development and engineering initiatives were $92,315, $85,881 and $78,108 in 
2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. In 2013, the Company introduced the first intelligent-powered ATM, the Diebold 429.  Designed 
for urban and rural areas of India, this machine combines energy efficiency and environmental resistance with enhanced security 
and functionality.  The Diebold 429 consumes approximately 40 percent less energy than previous cash dispensers available in 
these  Indian  markets  and  can  switch  between  three  possible  power  sources,  ultimately  lowering  total  cost  of  ownership  and 
maximizing uptime while delivering unprecedented convenience to consumers. 

PATENTS, TRADEMARKS, LICENSES

The Company owns patents, trademarks and licenses relating to certain products in the United States and internationally.  While 
the Company regards these as items of importance, it does not deem its business as a whole, or any industry segment, to be materially 
dependent upon any one item or group of items.

ENVIRONMENTAL

Compliance with federal, state and local environmental protection laws during 2013 had no material effect upon the Company’s 
business, financial condition or results of operations. 

EMPLOYEES

At December 31, 2013, the Company employed approximately 16,000 associates globally.  The Company’s service staff is one of 
the  financial  industry’s  largest,  with  professionals  in  more  than  600  locations  and  representation  in  more  than  90  countries 
worldwide.

ITEM 1A: RISK FACTORS
(dollars in thousands)

The following are certain risk factors that could affect our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows.  These 
risk factors should be considered in connection with evaluating the forward-looking statements contained in this annual report on 
Form 10-K because they could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. 
The risk factors highlighted below are not the only ones we face.  If any of these events actually occur, our business, financial 
condition, operating results or cash flows could be negatively affected.

We caution the reader to keep these risk factors in mind and refrain from attributing undue certainty to any forward-looking 
statements, which speak only as of the date of this annual report on Form 10-K.

Demand for and supply of our services and products may be adversely affected by numerous factors, some of which we cannot 
predict or control. This could adversely affect our operating results.

Numerous factors may affect the demand for and supply of our services and products, including:

changes in the market acceptance of our services and products;
customer and competitor consolidation; 
changes in customer preferences; 
declines in general economic conditions;
changes in environmental regulations that would limit our ability to service and sell products in specific markets; 

• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
•  macro-economic factors affecting banks, credit unions and other financial institutions may lead to cost-cutting efforts by 

customers, which could cause us to lose current or potential customers or achieve less revenue per customer; and
availability of purchased products.

• 

If any of these factors occur, the demand for and supply of our services and products could suffer, and this would adversely affect 
our results of operations.

Increased energy and raw material costs could reduce our income.

Energy prices, particularly petroleum prices, are cost drivers for our business.  In recent years, the price of petroleum has been 
highly volatile, particularly due to the unstable political conditions in the Middle East and increasing international demand from 
emerging  markets.    Price  increases  in  fuel  and  electricity costs,  such  as  those  increases  that  may  occur  from  climate change 
legislation or other environmental mandates, will continue to increase our cost of operations.  Any increase in the costs of energy 
would also increase our transportation costs.  

The primary raw materials in our FSS, security, election and lottery systems product solutions are steel, plastics and electronic 
parts and components.  The majority of our raw materials are purchased from various local, regional and global suppliers pursuant 
to supply contracts.  However, the price of these materials can fluctuate under these contracts in tandem with the pricing of raw 
materials.

Although we attempt to pass on higher energy and raw material costs to our customers, it is often not possible given the competitive 
markets in which we operate.

Our business may be affected by general economic conditions, cyclicality and uncertainty and could be adversely affected 
during economic downturns.

Demand for our services and products is affected by general economic conditions and the business conditions of the industries in 
which we sell our services and products.  The business of most of our customers, particularly our financial institution customers, 
is, to varying degrees, cyclical and has historically experienced periodic downturns.  Under difficult economic conditions, customers 
may seek to reduce discretionary spending by forgoing purchases of our services and products.  This risk is magnified for capital 
goods purchases such as ATMs and physical security products.  In addition, downturns in our customers' industries, even during 
periods of strong general economic conditions, could adversely affect the demand for our services and products, and our sales and 
operating results. 

7

In particular, continuing economic difficulties in the  global markets have led to an economic recession in some or all of the markets 
in which we operate.  As a result of these difficulties and other factors, including new or increased regulatory burdens, financial 
institutions have failed and may continue to fail resulting in a loss of current or potential customers, or deferred or canceled orders, 
including orders previously placed.  Any customer deferrals or cancellations could materially affect our sales and operating results.

Additionally, the unstable political conditions in the Middle East or the sovereign debt concerns of certain countries could lead to 
further financial, economic and political instability, and this could lead to an additional deterioration in general economic conditions.  

We may be unable to achieve, or may be delayed in achieving, our cost-cutting initiatives, and this may adversely affect our 
operating results and cash flow.

We have launched a number of cost-cutting initiatives, including restructuring initiatives, to improve operating efficiencies and 
reduce operating costs.  Although we have achieved a substantial amount of annual cost savings associated with these cost-cutting 
initiatives, we may be unable to sustain the cost savings that we have achieved.  In addition, if we are unable to achieve, or have 
any unexpected delays in achieving, additional cost savings, our results of operations and cash flow may be adversely affected.  
Even if we meet our goals as a result of these initiatives, we may not receive the expected financial benefits of these initiatives.

We face competition that could adversely affect our sales and financial condition.

All phases of our business are highly competitive. Some of our products are in direct competition with similar or alternative 
products provided by our competitors.  We encounter competition in price, delivery, service, performance, product innovation, 
product recognition and quality.

Because of the potential for consolidation in any market, our competitors may become larger, which could make them more 
efficient and permit them to be more price-competitive.  Increased size could also permit them to operate in wider geographic 
areas and enhance their abilities in other areas such as research and development and customer service. As a result, this could also 
reduce our profitability.

We expect that our competitors will continue to develop and introduce new and enhanced services and products.  This could cause 
a decline in market acceptance of our services and products.  In addition, our competitors could cause a reduction in the prices 
for some of our services and products as a result of intensified price competition.  Also, we may be unable to effectively anticipate 
and react to new entrants in the marketplace competing with our services and products.

Competitive pressures can also result in the loss of major customers.  An inability to compete successfully could have an adverse 
effect on our operating results, financial condition and cash flows in any given period.

Additional tax expense or additional tax exposures could affect our future profitability.

We are subject to income taxes in both the United States and various non-U.S. jurisdictions, and our domestic and international 
tax liabilities are dependent upon the distribution of income among these different jurisdictions. If we change our intention to 
repatriate cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments residing in international tax jurisdictions, there could further 
negative impact on foreign and domestic taxes. Our tax expense includes estimates of additional tax that may be incurred for tax 
exposures and reflects various estimates and assumptions, including assessments of future earnings of the Company that could 
affect the valuation of our net deferred tax assets.  Our future results could be adversely affected by changes in the effective tax 
rate as a result of a change in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the overall profitability 
of the Company, changes in tax legislation, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, the results of audits and 
examinations of previously filed tax returns and continuing assessments of our income tax exposures.   

Additionally, our future results could be adversely affected by the results of indirect tax audits and examinations,  and continuing 
assessments of our indirect tax exposures.   For example, in August 2012, one of our Brazilian subsidiaries was notified of a tax 
assessment of approximately $133,000, including penalties and interest, regarding certain Brazilian federal indirect taxes for 2008 
and 2009.  The assessment alleges improper importation of certain components into the country's free trade zone that would nullify 
certain indirect tax incentives. We have filed administrative defenses with the tax authorities and are awaiting an administrative 
level decision that could negatively impact Brazilian federal indirect taxes in other years that remain open under statute. It is 
reasonably possible that we could be required to pay taxes, penalties and interest related to this matter, which could be material 
to our consolidated financial statements.

8

In international markets, we compete with local service providers that may have competitive advantages.

In a number of international markets, especially those in AP and LA, we face substantial competition from local service providers 
that offer competing services and products.  Some of these companies may have a dominant market share in their territories and 
may be owned by local stakeholders.  This could give them a competitive advantage.  Local providers of competing services and 
products may also have a substantial advantage in attracting customers in their country due to more established branding in that 
country, greater knowledge with respect to the tastes and preferences of customers residing in that country and/or their focus on 
a single market.  Further, the local providers may have greater regulatory and operational flexibility since we are subject to both 
U.S. and foreign regulatory requirements.

Because our operations are conducted worldwide, they are affected by risks of doing business abroad. 

We generate a significant percentage of revenue from operations conducted outside the United States. Revenue from international 
operations amounted to approximately 52.3 percent in 2013, 48.7 percent in 2012 and 52.7 percent in 2011 of total revenue during 
these respective years. 

Accordingly, international operations are subject to the risks of doing business abroad, including, among other things, the following: 

• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 

• 
• 
• 

• 
• 
• 
• 

fluctuations in currency exchange rates; 
transportation delays and interruptions; 
political and economic instability and disruptions; 
restrictions on the transfer of funds; 
the imposition of duties and tariffs; 
import and export controls; 
changes in governmental policies and regulatory environments; 
disadvantages of competing against companies from countries that are not subject to U.S. laws and regulations, including 
the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA);
labor unrest and current and changing regulatory environments; 
the uncertainty of product acceptance by different cultures; 
the risks of divergent business expectations or cultural incompatibility inherent in establishing joint ventures with 
foreign partners; 
difficulties in staffing and managing multi-national operations; 
limitations on the ability to enforce legal rights and remedies; 
reduced protection for intellectual property rights in some countries; and 
potentially adverse tax consequences, including repatriation of profits. 

Any of these events could have an adverse effect on our international operations by reducing the demand for our services and 
products or decreasing the prices at which we can sell our services and products, thereby adversely affecting our financial condition 
or operating results.  We may not be able to continue to operate in compliance with applicable customs, currency exchange control 
regulations, transfer pricing regulations or any other laws or regulations to which we may be subject.  In addition, these laws or 
regulations may be modified in the future, and we may not be able to operate in compliance with those modifications. 

Additionally, there are ongoing concerns regarding the short- and long-term stability of the euro and its ability to serve as a single 
currency for a variety of individual countries.  These concerns could lead individual countries to revert, or threaten to revert, to 
their former local currencies, which could lead to the dissolution of the euro.  Should this occur, the assets we hold in a country 
that re-introduces its local currency could be significantly devalued.  Furthermore, the dissolution of the euro could cause significant 
volatility and disruption to the global economy, which could impact our financial results.  Finally, if it were necessary for us to 
conduct our business in additional currencies, we would be subjected to additional earnings volatility as amounts in these currencies 
are translated into U.S. dollars.

We may be exposed to liabilities under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which could have a material adverse effect on our 
business. 

We are subject to compliance with various laws and regulations, including the FCPA and similar worldwide anti-bribery laws, 
which generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from engaging in bribery or making other improper payments to 
foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business or gaining an unfair business advantage.  The FCPA also requires 
proper record keeping and characterization of such payments in our reports filed with the SEC.   

While our employees and agents are required to comply with these laws, we operate in many parts of the world that have experienced 
governmental and commercial corruption to some degree and, in certain circumstances, strict compliance with anti-bribery laws 
may conflict with local customs and practices.  Foreign companies, including some that may compete with us, may not be subject 

9

to the FCPA.  Accordingly, such companies may be more likely to engage in activities prohibited by the FCPA, which could have 
a significant adverse impact on our ability to compete for business in such countries.  

Despite our commitment to legal compliance and corporate ethics, we cannot ensure that our policies and procedures will always 
protect us from intentional, reckless or negligent acts committed by our employees or agents.  Violations of these laws, or allegations 
of such violations, could disrupt our business and result in financial penalties, debarment from government contracts and other 
consequences that may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. 

In particular, during the second quarter of 2010, while conducting due diligence in connection with a potential acquisition in 
Russia, the Company identified certain transactions and payments by its subsidiary in Russia (primarily during 2005 to 2008) that 
potentially implicated the FCPA, particularly the books and records provisions of the FCPA.  As a result, the Company conducted 
a global internal review and collected information related to its global FCPA compliance. In the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company 
identified certain transactions within its AP operation that occurred over several prior years that also potentially implicated the 
FCPA. The Company continues to monitor its ongoing compliance with the FCPA. 

The Company voluntarily self-reported its findings to the SEC and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and cooperated with 
these agencies in their review.  The Company reached an agreement with the DOJ and the SEC to settle this matter for combined  
payments to the U.S. government of $48,000 in disgorgement, penalties, and pre-judgment interest and the appointment of an 
independent compliance monitor for a minimum period of 18 months. The Company remitted the combined payments to the U.S. 
government in November 2013. 

In addition, our business opportunities in select geographies have been or may be adversely affected by the settlement of this 
review.  Some countries in which we do business may also initiate their own reviews and impose penalties, including prohibition 
of our participating in or curtailment of business operations in those jurisdictions. We could also face third-party claims in connection 
with this matter or as a result of the outcome of the current or any future government reviews.  Our disclosure, internal review 
and any current or future governmental review of  this matter could, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse affect 
on our reputation and our ability to obtain new business or retain existing business from our current clients and potential clients, 
to attract and retain employees and to access the capital markets.

We may expand operations into international markets in which we may have limited experience or rely on business partners.

We continually look to expand our services and products into international markets.  We have currently developed, through joint 
ventures, strategic investments, subsidiaries and branch offices, service and product offerings in more than 90 countries outside 
of the United States.  As we expand into new international markets, we will have only limited experience in marketing and operating 
services and products in such markets.  In other instances, we may rely on the efforts and abilities of foreign business partners in 
such markets.  Certain international markets may be slower than domestic markets in adopting our services and products, and our 
operations in international markets may not develop at a rate that supports our level of investment.

An inability to effectively manage acquisitions, divestitures and other significant transactions successfully could harm our 
operating results, business and prospects.

As part of our business strategy, we frequently engage in discussions with third parties regarding possible investments, acquisitions, 
strategic  alliances,  joint  ventures,  divestitures  and  outsourcing  arrangements,  and  we  enter  into  agreements  relating  to  such 
transactions in order to further our business objectives.  In order to pursue this strategy successfully, we must identify suitable 
candidates, successfully complete transactions, some of which may be large and complex, and manage post-closing issues such 
as the integration of acquired companies or employees.  Integration and other risks of these transactions can be more pronounced 
in larger and more complicated transactions, or if multiple transactions are pursued simultaneously.  If we fail to identify and 
successfully complete transactions that further our strategic objectives, we may be required to expend resources to develop products 
and technology internally.  This may put us at a competitive disadvantage, and we may be adversely affected by negative market 
perceptions any of which may have a material adverse effect on our revenue, gross margin and profitability.

Integration  issues  are  complex,  time-consuming  and  expensive  and,  without  proper  planning  and  implementation,  could 
significantly disrupt our business.  The challenges involved in integration include:

•  combining service and product offerings and entering into new markets in which we are not experienced;
•  convincing  customers  and  distributors  that  the  transaction  will  not  diminish  client  service  standards  or  business  focus, 
preventing customers and distributors from deferring purchasing decisions or switching to other suppliers or service providers
(which could result in additional obligations to address customer uncertainty), and coordinating service, sales, marketing and 
distribution efforts;

10

•  consolidating and rationalizing corporate information technology infrastructure, which may include multiple legacy systems 

from various acquisitions and integrating software code;

•  minimizing the diversion of management attention from ongoing business concerns;
•  persuading employees  that business  cultures are compatible, maintaining employee morale  and retaining key  employees, 
integrating  employees  into  our  Company,  correctly  estimating  employee  benefit  costs  and  implementing  restructuring 
programs;

•  coordinating  and  combining  administrative,  service,  manufacturing,  research  and  development  and  other  operations, 
subsidiaries, facilities and relationships with third parties in accordance with local laws and other obligations while maintaining 
adequate standards, controls and procedures; and

•  achieving savings from supply chain and administration integration.

We evaluate and enter into these types of transactions on an ongoing basis.  We may not fully realize all of the anticipated benefits 
of any transaction, and the timeframe for achieving benefits of a transaction may depend partially upon the actions of employees, 
suppliers or other third parties.  In addition, the pricing and other terms of our contracts for these transactions require us to make 
estimates and assumptions at the time we enter into these contracts, and, during the course of our due diligence, we may not identify 
all of the factors necessary to estimate costs accurately.  Any increased or unexpected costs, unanticipated delays or failure to 
achieve contractual obligations could make these agreements less profitable or unprofitable.

Managing these types of transactions requires varying levels of management resources, which may divert our attention from other 
business operations.  These transactions could result in significant costs and expenses and charges to earnings, including those 
related to severance pay, early retirement costs, employee benefit costs, asset impairment charges, charges from the elimination 
of duplicative facilities and contracts, in-process research and development charges, inventory adjustments, assumed litigation 
and other liabilities, legal, accounting and financial advisory fees and required payments to executive officers and key employees 
under retention plans.  Moreover, we could incur additional depreciation and amortization expense over the useful lives of certain 
assets acquired in connection with these transactions, and, to the extent that the value of goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite 
lives acquired in connection with a transaction becomes impaired, we may be required to incur additional material charges relating 
to the impairment of those assets.  In order to complete an acquisition, we may issue common stock, potentially creating dilution 
for existing shareholders, or borrow funds,which could affect our financial condition and potentially our credit ratings.  Any prior 
or future downgrades in our credit rating associated with a transaction could adversely affect our ability to borrow and result in 
more restrictive borrowing terms.  In addition, our effective tax rate on an ongoing basis is uncertain, and such transactions could 
impact our effective tax rate.  We also may experience risks relating to the challenges and costs of closing a transaction and the 
risk that an announced transaction may not close.  As a result, any completed, pending or future transactions may contribute to 
financial results that differ from the investment community’s expectations.

We have a significant amount of long-term assets, including goodwill and other intangible assets, and any future impairment 
charges could adversely impact our results of operations.

We review long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and identifiable intangible assets, for impairment whenever 
changes in circumstances or events may indicate that the carrying amounts are not recoverable.  If the fair value is less than the 
carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference.  Factors which may cause an impairment of long-lived assets 
include significant changes in the manner of use of these assets, negative industry or market trends, a significant underperformance 
relative to historical or projected future operating results, or a likely sale or disposal of the asset before the end of its estimated 
useful life. 

As of December 31, 2013, we had $179,828 of goodwill.  We assess all existing goodwill at least annually for impairment on a 
reporting unit basis.  The Company’s five reporting units are defined as Domestic and Canada, Brazil, LA, AP, and EMEA.  The  
techniques used in our qualitative and quantitative assessment and goodwill impairment tests incorporate a number of estimates 
and assumptions that are subject to change; although we believe these estimates and assumptions are reasonable and reflect market 
conditions forecast at the assessment date.  Any changes to these assumptions and estimates due to market conditions or otherwise 
may lead to an outcome where impairment charges would be required in future periods.  

During the third quarter of  2013, the Company performed an other-than-annual assessment for its Brazil reporting unit based on 
a two-step impairment test as a result of a reduced earnings outlook for the Brazil business unit. This was due to a deteriorating 
macro-economic outlook, structural changes to an auction-based purchasing environment and new competitors entering the market.  
The Company concluded that the goodwill within the Brazil reporting unit was partially impaired and recorded a $70,000 pre-tax, 
non-cash goodwill impairment charge.  In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Brazil reporting unit was reviewed for impairment based 
on a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its 
carrying value.  In addition, the remaining reporting units were reviewed based on a two-step test.  These tests resulted in no 
additional impairment in any of the Company's reporting units.  The Company concluded the AP reporting unit had excess fair 

11

value of approximately $23,000 or eight percent when compared to its carrying amount.  Domestic and Canada and LA reporting 
units had excess fair value greater than 100 percent when compared to their carrying amounts. 

System security risks and systems integration issues could disrupt our internal operations or services provided to customers, 
and any such disruption could adversely affect revenue, increase costs, and harm our reputation and stock price.

Experienced computer programmers and hackers may be able to penetrate our network security and misappropriate our own 
confidential information or that of our customers, corrupt data, create system disruptions or cause shutdowns.  A network security 
breach could be particularly harmful if it remained undetected for an extended period of time.  Groups of hackers may also act in 
a coordinated manner to launch distributed denial of service attacks, or other coordinated attacks, that may cause service outages 
or other interruptions.  We could incur significant expenses in addressing problems created by network security breaches, such as 
the expenses of deploying additional personnel, enhancing or implementing new protection measures, training employees or hiring 
consultants.  Further, such corrective measures may later prove inadequate.  Moreover, actual or perceived security vulnerabilities 
in  our  services  and  products  could  cause  significant  reputational  harm,  causing  us  to  lose  existing  or  potential  customers. 
Reputational damage could also result in diminished investor confidence.  Actual or perceived vulnerabilities may also lead to 
claims against us.  Although our license agreements typically contain provisions that eliminate or limit our exposure to such 
liability,  there  is  no  assurance  these  provisions  will  withstand  legal  challenges.   We  could  also  incur  significant  expenses  in 
connection with customers’ system failures. 

In addition, sophisticated hardware and operating system software and applications that we produce or procure from third parties 
may contain defects in design or manufacture, including “bugs” and other problems that could unexpectedly interfere with the 
operation of the system.  The costs to eliminate or alleviate security problems, viruses and bugs could be significant, and the efforts 
to address these problems could result in interruptions, delays or cessation of service that could impede sales, manufacturing, 
distribution or other critical functions.

Portions of our information technology infrastructure also may experience interruptions, delays or cessations of service or produce 
errors in connection with systems integration or migration work that takes place from time to time.  We may not be successful in 
implementing new systems, and transitioning data and other aspects of the process could be expensive, time consuming, disruptive 
and resource-intensive.  Such disruptions could adversely impact the ability to fulfill orders and interrupt other processes and, in 
addition, could adversely impact our ability to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting.  Delayed sales, lower 
margins, lost customers or diminished investor confidence resulting from these disruptions could adversely affect financial results, 
stock price and reputation.

An inability to attract, retain and motivate key employees could harm current and future operations.

In order to be successful, we must attract, retain and motivate executives and other key employees, including those in managerial, 
professional,  administrative,  technical,  sales,  marketing  and  information  technology  support  positions.    We  also  must  keep 
employees  focused  on  our  strategies  and  goals.    Hiring  and  retaining  qualified  executives,  engineers  and  qualified  sales 
representatives are critical to our future, and competition for experienced employees in these areas can be intense.  The failure to 
hire or loss of key employees could have a significant impact on our operations.

We may not be able to generate sufficient cash flows to fund our operations and make adequate capital investments, or to pay 
dividends or continue dividend increases.

Our cash flows from operations depend primarily on sales and service margins.  To develop new service and product technologies, 
support future growth, achieve operating efficiencies and maintain service and product quality, we must make significant capital 
investments in manufacturing technology, facilities and capital equipment, research and development, and service and product 
technology.  In addition to cash provided from operations, we have from time to time utilized external sources of financing.  
Depending upon general market conditions or other factors, we may not be able to generate sufficient cash flows to fund our 
operations and make adequate capital investments, or to continue our trend of annual dividend increases or to continue to pay 
dividends at all, either in whole or in part.  In addition, due to the recent economic downturn there has been a tightening of the 
credit markets, which may limit our ability to obtain alternative sources of cash to fund our operations.

New service and product developments may be unsuccessful.

We are constantly looking to develop new services and products that complement or leverage the underlying design or process 
technology of our traditional service and product offerings.  We make significant investments in service and product technologies 
and anticipate expending significant resources for new software-led services and product development over the next several years.  
There can be no assurance that our service and product development efforts will be successful, that we will be able to cost effectively 

12

develop or manufacture these new services and products, that we will be able to successfully market these services and products 
or that margins generated from sales of these services and products will recover costs of development efforts.

An adverse determination that our services, products or manufacturing processes infringe the intellectual property rights of 
others could have a materially adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition.
As is common in any high technology industry, others have asserted from time to time, and may assert in the future, that our 
services, products or manufacturing processes infringe their intellectual property rights.  A court determination that our services, 
products or manufacturing processes infringe the intellectual property rights of others could result in significant liability and/or 
require us to make material changes to our services, products and/or manufacturing processes.  We are unable to predict the outcome 
of assertions of infringement made against us.  Any of the foregoing could have a materially adverse effect on our business, 
operating results or financial condition.

Changes in laws or regulations or the manner of their interpretation or enforcement could adversely impact our financial 
performance and restrict our ability to operate our business or execute our strategies.

New laws or regulations, or changes in existing laws or regulations or the manner of their interpretation or enforcement, could 
increase our cost of doing business and restrict our ability to operate our business or execute our strategies.  This includes, among 
other things, the possible taxation under U.S. law of certain income from foreign operations, compliance costs and enforcement 
under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act), and costs associated with complying 
with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 and the regulations promulgated thereunder.  For example, under 
Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act, the SEC has adopted additional disclosure requirements related to the source of certain 
“conflict minerals” for issuers for which such “conflict minerals” are necessary to the functionality or product manufactured, or 
contracted to be manufactured, by that issuer.  The metals covered by the rules include tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold, commonly 
referred to as “3TG.”  Our suppliers may use some or all of these materials in their production processes.  The SEC's rules require 
us to perform supply chain due diligence on every member of our supply chain, including the mine owner and operator.  Global 
supply chains can have multiple layers, thus the costs of complying with these new requirements could be substantial.  These new 
requirements may also reduce the number of suppliers who provide conflict free metals, and may affect our ability to obtain 
products in sufficient quantities or at competitive prices.  Compliance costs and the unavailability of raw materials could have a 
material adverse effect on our results of operations.  

Anti-takeover provisions could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us.

Certain provisions of our charter documents, including provisions limiting the ability of shareholders to raise matters at a meeting 
of shareholders without giving advance notice and permitting cumulative voting, may make it more difficult for a third party to 
gain control of our Board of Directors and may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in our control or management.  
This could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.  Additionally, Ohio corporate law provides that certain 
notice and informational filings and special shareholder meeting and voting procedures must be followed prior to consummation 
of a proposed “control share acquisition,” as defined in the Ohio Revised Code.  Assuming compliance with the prescribed notice 
and  information  filings,  a  proposed  control  share  acquisition  may  be  made  only  if,  at  a  special  meeting  of  shareholders,  the 
acquisition is approved by both a majority of our voting power represented at the meeting and a majority of the voting power 
remaining after excluding the combined voting power of the “interested shares,” as defined in the Ohio Revised Code.  The 
application of these provisions of the Ohio Revised Code also could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control.

Any actions or other governmental investigations or proceedings related to or arising from the matters that resulted in the  2009 
SEC settlement or the 2013 SEC and DOJ settlement could result in substantial costs to defend enforcement or other related 
actions that could have a materially adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition. 

The Company had previously reached an agreement in 2009 with the staff of the SEC to settle civil charges stemming from the 
staff's enforcement inquiry and an agreement with the staff of the SEC and DOJ to settle the FCPA review in 2013.  We could 
incur  substantial  additional  costs  to  defend  and  resolve  third-party  litigation  or  other  governmental  actions,  investigations  or 
proceedings arising out of, or related to, the completed investigations or these settlements. The diversion of resources to address 
issues arising out of any such third-party or governmental actions may harm our business, operating results and financial condition 
in the future. 

13

Our ability to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting may be insufficient to allow us to accurately report 
our financial results or prevent fraud, and this could cause our financial statements to become materially misleading and 
adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.

We require effective internal control over financial reporting in order to provide reasonable assurance with respect to our financial 
reports and to effectively prevent fraud.  Internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements because 
of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls, or fraud.  Therefore, 
even effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the preparation and fair presentation of 
financial statements.  If we cannot provide reasonable assurance with respect to our financial statements and effectively prevent 
fraud, our financial statements could become materially misleading, which could adversely affect the trading price of our common 
stock.

Management identified control deficiencies during 2013 that constituted a material weakness. Management concluded that controls 
pertaining to the reconciliation process that could materially impact financial reporting in its Indian subsidiary were not operating 
effectively because of the lack of full adoption of revised processes necessitated by a newly implemented enterprise resource 
planning system.  

Management identified control deficiencies during 2012 that constituted a material weakness.  In August 2012, one of our Brazilian 
subsidiaries was notified of a tax assessment of approximately $133,000, including penalties and interest, regarding certain Brazilian 
federal indirect taxes for 2008 and 2009, alleging improper importation of certain components into the country's free trade zone 
that would nullify certain indirect tax incentives. After evaluating relevant controls, we concluded that controls pertaining to 
manufacturing and supply chain processes that could materially impact indirect tax incentives in the Brazilian subsidiary and roles 
and responsibilities within this Brazilian subsidiary pertaining to the operation of these controls were not designed and/or operating 
effectively, and controls designed to ensure adequate and effective communication by operational management to regional and 
corporate  management  were  not  operating  effectively.  In  2013,  we  began  implementing  control  procedures  pertaining  to 
manufacturing and supply chain processes that impact indirect tax incentives in our Brazilian subsidiary.  In addition, we began 
fulfillment of related roles and responsibilities in the indirect tax compliance organization structure.  In 2012 and 2013, we have 
enhanced our internal control over financial reporting.  However, as of December 31, 2013, we had not remediated the material 
weakness.  

If we are not able to maintain the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting, including any failure to implement 
required new or improved controls, or if we experience difficulties in their implementation, our business, financial condition and 
operating results could be harmed. Any material weakness could affect investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of 
our financial statements.  As a result, our ability to obtain any additional financing, or additional financing on favorable terms, 
could be materially and adversely affected.  This, in turn, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition 
and the market value of our securities and require us to incur additional costs to improve our internal control systems and procedures.  
In addition, perceptions of our Company among customers, lenders, investors, securities analysts and others could also be adversely 
affected.

We can give no assurances that any additional material weaknesses will not arise in the future due to our failure to implement and 
maintain  adequate  internal  control  over  financial  reporting.    In  addition,  although  we  have  been  successful  historically  in 
strengthening our controls and procedures, those controls and procedures may not be adequate to prevent or identify irregularities 
or ensure the fair presentation of our financial statements included in our periodic reports filed with the SEC.

Low investment performance by our domestic pension plan assets may result in an increase to our net pension liability and 
expense, which may require us to fund a portion of our pension obligations and divert funds from other potential uses.

We  sponsor  several  defined  benefit  pension  plans  that  cover  certain  eligible  employees.    Our  pension  expense  and  required 
contributions to our pension plans are directly affected by the value of plan assets, the projected rate of return on plan assets, the 
actual rate of return on plan assets and the actuarial assumptions we use to measure the defined benefit pension plan obligations.

A significant market downturn could occur in future periods resulting in a decline in the funded status of our pension plans and 
actual asset returns to be below the assumed rate of return used to determine pension expense. If return on plan assets in future 
periods perform below expectations, future pension expense will increase.  Further, as a result of global economic instability in 
recent years, our pension plan investment portfolio has been volatile.

We establish the discount rate used to determine the present value of the projected and accumulated benefit obligations at the end 
of each year based upon the available market rates for high quality, fixed income investments.  We match the projected cash flows 
of our pension plans against those generated by high-quality corporate bonds.  The yield of the resulting bond portfolio provides 

14

a basis for the selected discount rate.  An increase in the discount rate would reduce the future pension expense and, conversely, 
a decrease in the discount rate would increase the future pension expense.

Based  on  current  guidelines,  assumptions  and  estimates,  including  investment  returns  and  interest  rates,  we  plan  to  make 
contributions of $4,567 to our pension plans in 2014. Changes in the current assumptions and estimates could result in contributions 
in years beyond 2014 that are greater than the projected 2014 contributions required.  We cannot predict whether changing market 
or economic conditions, regulatory changes or other factors will further increase our pension expenses or funding obligations, 
diverting funds we would otherwise apply to other uses.

Our businesses are subject to inherent risks, some for which we maintain third-party insurance and some for which we self-
insure. We may incur losses and be subject to liability claims that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, 
results of operations or cash flows.

We maintain insurance policies that provide limited coverage for some, but not all, of the potential risks and liabilities associated 
with our businesses. The policies are subject to deductibles and exclusions that result in our retention of a level of risk on a self-
insurance basis. For some risks, we may not obtain insurance if we believe the cost of available insurance is excessive relative to 
the  risks  presented. As  a  result  of  market  conditions,  premiums  and  deductibles  for  certain  insurance  policies  can  increase 
substantially, and in some instances, certain insurance may become unavailable or available only for reduced amounts of coverage. 
As a result, we may not be able to renew our existing insurance policies or procure other desirable insurance on commercially 
reasonable terms, if at all.  Even where insurance coverage applies, insurers may contest their obligations to make payments. Our 
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected by losses and liabilities from 
un-insured or under-insured events, as well as by delays in the payment of insurance proceeds, or the failure by insurers to make 
payments. We also may incur costs and liabilities resulting from claims for damages to property or injury to persons arising from 
our operations. 

Our assumptions used to determine our self-insurance liability could be wrong and materially impact our business.

We evaluate our self-insurance liability based on historical claims experience, demographic factors, severity factors and other 
actuarial assumptions. However, if future occurrences and claims differ from these assumptions and historical trends, our business, 
financial results and financial condition could be materially impacted by claims and other expenses.

ITEM 3: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
(dollars in thousands)

At December 31, 2013, the Company was a party to several lawsuits that were incurred in the normal course of business, none of 
which individually or in the aggregate is considered material by management in relation to the Company's financial position or 
results of operations. In addition, the Company has indemnification obligations with certain former employees and costs associated 
with these indemnifications are expensed as incurred. In management's opinion, the Company's consolidated financial statements 
would not be materially affected by the outcome of those legal proceedings, commitments, or asserted claims.

In addition to the routine legal proceedings noted above, the Company was a party to the legal proceedings described below at
December 31, 2013:

Indirect Tax Contingencies

In August 2012, one of the Company's Brazilian subsidiaries was notified of a tax assessment of approximately $133,000, including 
penalties and interest, regarding certain Brazilian federal indirect taxes (Industrialized Products Tax, Import Tax, Programa de 
Integração Social and Contribution to Social Security Financing) for 2008 and 2009.  The assessment alleges improper importation 
of certain components into the country's free trade zone that would nullify certain indirect tax incentives.  On September 10, 2012, 
the Company filed its administrative defenses with the tax authorities.  This proceeding is currently pending an administrative 
level decision, which could negatively impact Brazilian federal indirect taxes in other years that remain open under statute.  It is 
reasonably possible that the Company could be required to pay taxes, penalties and interest related to this matter, which could be 
material to the Company's consolidated financial statements. Additionally, in May 2013, the SEC requested that the Company 
retain certain documents and produce certain records relating to the assessment, and the Company is complying with that request.

In response to an order by the administrative court, the tax inspector provided further analysis with respect to the tax inspector’s 
initial assessment  in  December  2013  that,  if  accepted by  the  administrative court,  could  indicate  a  potential  exposure  that  is 
significantly lower than the initial tax assessment received in August 2012.  However, this further analysis is not binding upon the 
administrative court and is subject to administrative court approval.  Additionally, any decision by the administrative court is 
subject to automatic appeal.  Accordingly, the Company cannot provide any assurance that its exposure pursuant to the initial 
assessment will be lowered significantly or at all.  The Company has filed additional administrative defenses in response to the 
tax inspector’s further analysis.   

Securities Action

On June 30, 2010, a shareholder filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District 
of Ohio alleging violations of the federal securities laws against the Company, certain current and former officers, and the Company's 
independent auditors (Louisiana Municipal Police Employees Retirement System v. KPMG et al., No. 10-CV-1461). The complaint 
sought unspecified compensatory damages on behalf of a class of persons who purchased the Company's stock between June 30, 
2005 and January 15, 2008 and fees and expenses related to the lawsuit. The complaint generally relates to the matters set forth 
in the court documents filed by the SEC in June 2010 finalizing the settlement of civil charges stemming from the investigation 
of the Company conducted by the Division of Enforcement of the SEC. In the second quarter 2013, the Company recorded a 
$30,000 pre-tax charge within selling and administrative expense related to an agreement in principle to settle this matter and an 
offsetting $12,755 pre-tax credit within selling and administrative expense related to the Company's insurance recovery.  On 
November 14, 2013, the court entered an order preliminarily approving the parties’ stipulated settlement agreement; however, the 
settlement was subject to notice to the putative class and final approval by the court.  In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company 
and insurance companies paid their respective settlement amounts into an escrow fund in accordance with the terms of the settlement 
agreement.

FCPA Review 

During  the  second  quarter  of  2010,  while  conducting  due  diligence  in  connection  with  a  potential  acquisition  in  Russia,  the 
Company identified certain transactions and payments by its subsidiary in Russia (primarily during 2005 to 2008) that potentially 
implicated the FCPA, particularly its books and records provisions. The Company conducted a global internal review and collected 
information related to its global FCPA compliance. In the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company identified certain transactions 
within its AP operation that occurred over the past several years that also potentially implicated the FCPA. The Company continues 
to monitor its ongoing global compliance with the FCPA.

The Company voluntarily self-reported its findings to the SEC and DOJ and cooperated with these agencies in their review.  The 
Company was previously informed that the SEC's inquiry had been converted to a formal, non-public investigation.  The Company 
reached an agreement with the DOJ and the SEC to the terms of a settlement of their inquiries, which terms were filed in federal 

16

court on October 22, 2013.  These terms include combined payments to the U.S. government of $48,000 in disgorgement, penalties, 
and pre-judgment interest and the appointment of an independent compliance monitor for a minimum period of 18 months.  The 
Company remitted the combined payments to the U.S. government in November 2013.

ITEM 7:  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF 
OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

Management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying 
notes that appear elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K.

Introduction

The Company is a global leader in providing integrated services and software, financial self-service delivery and security systems 
to  primarily  the  financial,  commercial,  retail  and  other  markets.    Founded  in  1859,  the  Company  today  has  approximately 
16,000 employees  with  representation  in  more  than  90 countries  worldwide.    The  Company  recently  unveiled  its  multi-year 
turnaround strategy, Diebold 2.0, at the Investment Community Conference in November 2013.  The objective of Diebold 2.0 is 
to  transform  the  Company  into  a  world-class,  services-led  and  software  enabled  provider  of  secure,  convenient  and  efficient 
solutions for its customers.  The turnaround strategy will follow a “Crawl, Walk, Run” approach, which requires the core business 
operations to be stabilized in the “Crawl” phase and build the foundation for future growth in the “Walk” and “Run” phases.  Four 
core pillars provide the Company a clear path toward reaching this multi-year objective:

•  Reduce its cost structure and improve its near-term delivery and execution.
•  Generate increased free cash flow in order to fund the investments necessary to drive profitable growth, while preserving 
the ability to return value to shareholders in the form of reliable dividends and, as appropriate, share repurchases.

•  Attract and retain the talent necessary to drive innovation and the focused execution of the transformation strategy.
•  Return the Company to a sustainable, profitable growth trajectory.

The Company sees opportunities to leverage its capabilities in services, software and innovation to meet the needs of its rapidly 
evolving markets.  The Company has sharpened its focus on executing its core strategies in FSS and electronic security.  This 
includes making the appropriate investments to deliver growth within these areas. In addition, the Company remains committed 
to  a  disciplined  risk  assessment  process,  focused  on  proactively  identifying  and  mitigating  potential  risks  to  the  Company's 
continued success.

(Loss) income from continuing operations attributable to Diebold, Incorporated, net of tax, for the year ended December 31, 2013 
was $(181,605), or $(2.85) per share, a decrease of $258,333, or $4.05 per share from the year ended December 31, 2012.  Total 
revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $2,857,491, a decrease of $134,202 from the year ended December 31, 2012.  
The year ended December 31, 2013 included a $67,593 pre-tax non-cash pension charge related to the voluntary early retirement 
program, a $70,000 pre-tax goodwill impairment charge, $57,015 of pre-tax restructuring charges related to the Company's multi-
year realignment plan, including $31,282 related to the voluntary early retirement program, $28,000 of additional pre-tax  losses 
related to the settlement of the global FCPA investigation, a $17,245 pre-tax net charge related to settlement of the securities class 
action, and $9,300 of pre-tax executive severance.  Additionally, a significant portion of the decline was associated with lower 
volume  in  NA  resulting  from  the  expiration  of  the Americans  with  Disabilities Act  (ADA)  compliance  deadline  in  2012. 
Internationally, improvement was driven by higher FSS sales in AP and EMEA combined with security sales growth in Brazil, 
mainly due to the GAS Tecnologia (GAS) acquisition in Brazil. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in election 
systems and lottery sales in Brazil as well as a decline in FSS volume for LA.  Additionally, the 2013 results were significantly 
impacted by a higher tax rate, which is a result of tax expense related to the repatriation of previously undistributed earnings and 
the establishment of a valuation allowance on certain Brazil deferred tax assets.   

Diebold 2.0 - Turnaround Strategy 

The Company’s turnaround strategy, Diebold 2.0, is built on four core pillars: cost, cash, talent and growth.  Underpinned by the 
four  core  pillars,  the  turnaround  strategy  encompasses  eight  specific  actions  to  achieve  top-tier  performance  and  generate 
sustainable, profitable growth.

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS as of December 31, 2013 
DIEBOLD, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

Eight-Point Program:

1.  Establish a Competitive Cost Structure

Reducing the Company’s fixed cost envelope and driving operational rigor is fundamental. The $150,000 multi-year 
realignment plan launched in 2013 will drive efficiency while reducing general and administrative costs and the cost of 
goods sold. 

2.  Drive Sustainable Improvement in Cash Flow

The Company is committed to improving cash generation in order to increase shareholder value and fuel the investments 
necessary to grow the business. An emphasis on working capital improvements and cash generation now extends far 
beyond the finance organization - it is a main-stage requirement in every operation in every region. 

3. 

Improve Sales Effectiveness

The Company’s sales teams must enhance skills, tools and coverage to reach more prospects more effectively. For example, 
the global deployment of Salesforce.com will enhance the ability to plan, forecast and allocate resources more productively. 

4. 

Increase Speed and Agility

Streamlining the management structure will drive greater accountability, accelerate decision-making and facilitate the 
transition to a truly global business. Change is being viewed as an enabler of progress and not as a disrupter.

5. 

Instill a Winning Culture Grounded in Execution

The message being driven to every member of the organization: The Company is not merely to participate in a market, 
but to succeed, and win through a culture built upon accountability and execution. As an example, the Company is taking 
steps to better align employee compensation with Company performance.

6.  Collaborate With Customers and Partners to Drive Innovative Solutions

The Company must accelerate new ideas through teamwork with capable partners and collaboration with customers. For 
example, the India-originated Diebold 429 ATM solution reduced development time and costs while at the same time 
meeting defined market needs.

7.  Further Leverage Services and Software

The Company expects the commoditization of hardware to continue, the size and importance of the software stack to 
increase, and our expertise in services and system integration to be a key differentiator. The objective is to further expand 
the  percentage  of  sales  derived  from  services  and  software,  which  is  expected  to  exceed  60  percent  during  the 
transformation.

8.  Generate Long-Term, Profitable Growth

The  seven  actions  defined  above  are  designed  to  put  the  Company  on  a  sustainable,  profitable  growth  trajectory. A 
commitment  to  operational  rigor,  improved  analytics  and  data-driven  decision-making  is  expected  to  position  the 
Company to benefit from secular trends in outsourcing and mobility, expand its electronic security business and drive 
both organic and inorganic growth.

Solutions

The Company leverages its strong base of maintenance and advanced services to deliver comprehensive outsourcing and managed 
services.  Banks are continuously being challenged to reduce costs while increasing operational efficiencies. Through outsourced 
services, banks entrust the management of their ATM and security operations to the Company, allowing their staffs to focus on 
core competencies. Furthermore, the Company's outsourcing and managed services offering provides banks and credit unions with 
the leading-edge technology they need to stay competitive in the marketplace. As a leader in outsourcing services, the Company 
is poised to capitalize on the secular outsourcing trends in the marketplace. Several years ago, the Company launched its outsourcing 
and managed services business in North America and has grown this business from $5,000 to over $200,000 in annual revenue 
with over 22,500 units under contract.

Another demand driver in the global ATM marketplace is branch transformation. The concept of branch transformation is to help 
financial institutions reduce their costs by migrating routine transactions, typically done inside the branch, to lower-cost automated 
channels, including the ATM.  One area of branch transformation that continues to gain traction is deposit automation. Among the 
largest U.S. national banks, there has been extensive deployment of deposit automation-enabled terminals.  Today, approximately 
25 percent of ATMs globally are configured for automated deposits.

Another solution the Company offers as part of its branch transformation efforts is Concierge Video Services™, most recently 
launched in North America. The solution provides consumers with on-demand access to bank call center representatives right at 
the ATM for sales or bank account maintenance support. In addition to delivering a personal touch outside of regular business 
hours, Concierge Video Services™ ultimately assists financial institutions by maximizing operational efficiencies, improving the 
consumer experience and enhancing the overall consumer relationship.

Mobile integration is another emerging trend in the FSS space, as consumers look for multiple ways to interact with their financial 
institutions.    In  July  2013,  Diebold  introduced  its  cardless  Mobile  Cash Access  solution,  which  allows  consumers  to  stage  a 
transaction with their mobile device and complete it at the ATM without the need for a card.  This capability provides consumers 
with a more convenient and secure option, while giving financial institutions the opportunity to offer their own branded mobile 
wallet solution.

In its security business, the Company has another opportunity for a successful outsourcing and managed services approach.  Security 
challenges and the systems to address them have grown increasingly complex. That has created a strong business case among 
financial  institutions  and  commercial  customers  for  outsourcing  and  managed  service  solutions,  particularly  in  the  areas  of 
monitoring, services and software management.  Today, the Company is bringing its expertise back into the financial sector and 
pursuing other areas, namely the commercial market, with a focused effort to secure large, complex and technologically demanding 
projects.  The Company has customer-focused teams that possess high levels of logical and enterprise security expertise that are 
required in this business.  The Company is also leveraging best practices and some of the best talent to continue building upon its 
security outsourcing and manged services business.

As it relates to security, the Company recently introduced a new online security management tool in in North America, called 
SecureStat®,  that  streamlines  how  customers  manage  their  security  operations.   At  the  core  of  the  solution  is  a  personalized 
dashboard that utilizes customizable, distinct widgets to provide a snapshot of a user's entire security platform, including locations, 
security systems and devices. In addition, SecureStat® can unify security services and disparate systems, while providing a single 
interface for real-time administration of security operations across an enterprise. SecureStat® is a great example of the software-
driven platforms the Company is investing in to strengthen its services offering and differentiate itself in the marketplace.

Moving forward, the Company intends to create shareholder value by leveraging the opportunities it sees within the area of branch 
transformation, growing its services, outsourcing and software capabilities, further building out its electronic security business 
and taking advantage of key secular trends around the world. Many opportunities lie ahead, and the Company will continue to 
invest in developing new services, software and security solutions that align with the needs of its core markets.

Multi-Year Realignment Plan 

The Company is committed to its previously announced multi-year realignment plan aimed at establishing a competitive cost 
structure throughout the organization.  The Company has currently identified targeted savings of $150,000 that are expected to 
be fully realized by the end of 2015 and is working to accelerate the cost savings efforts beyond this target longer-term. The 
Company expects to reinvest a portion of the savings to drive long-term growth.  Areas of reinvestment include: research and 
development of innovative new customer solutions; improving and updating the Company's information technology systems and 
infrastructure; transforming the general and administrative back-office functions; and strengthening sales coverage, processes and 
tools. In addition, some of the savings should offset price erosion, wage inflation in emerging markets and volatile commodity 
prices in the Company’s core business. Given these factors, the Company anticipates that approximately 50 percent of the savings 
will positively impact operating profit. In addition to the cost savings impact, the plan will enhance its competitive position by 
focusing on globalizing the Company's service organization, creating a unified center-led global organization for research and 
development as well as transform the Company's general and administrative cost structure. Restructuring charges associated with 
the multi-year realignment plan were $57,015 and $15,241 for 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Segment Reporting

In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company began managing its business on a regional geographic basis, changing from the previous 
model, which was a more condensed geographic basis.  In order to align the Company's external reporting of its financial results 
with this change, the Company has modified its segment reporting.  The Company now reports the following five segments:  NA, 
AP, EMEA, LA and Brazil.

Business Drivers

The business drivers of the Company's future performance include, but are not limited to:

• timing of self-service equipment upgrades and/or replacement cycles, including deposit automation in mature markets such as 
the United States;

• demand for products and solutions related to bank branch transformation opportunities;

• demand for services, including outsourcing and managed services;

• demand for security products and services for the financial and commercial sectors; and

• high levels of deployment growth for new self-service products in emerging markets, such as AP.

The decrease in FSS sales included a net unfavorable currency impact of $40,920 or 1.7 percent, of which approximately 76 
percent related to the Brazilian real. The following segment highlights include the impact of foreign currency. NA FSS sales 
decreased $167,104 or 15.9 percent due primarily to lower volume within the U.S. regional bank business partially offset by growth 
in the national bank sector. A significant portion of the decline was associated with the expiration of the ADA compliance deadline 
in 2012. The product volume decrease in regional bank business caused a corresponding reduction in the service business specific 
to installation and professional services sales. AP increased $56,544 or 14.1 percent due to higher volume in India and China. 
EMEA increased $36,125 or 11.1 percent mainly from higher volume in Western Europe and the Middle East primarily in the 
emerging market of Turkey due in part to the Altus acquisition partially offset by a net decrease in the remainder of the region. 
Brazil decreased $13,058 or 3.9 percent, including $31,020 in unfavorable currency impact. LA declined $7,440 or 3.7 percent 
mainly due to volume deterioration in Mexico, partially offset by an increase in Colombia. 

Security sales decreased from declines in the LA, NA and AP regions. LA decreased $8,869 or 15.2 percent largely due declines 
in Chile. NA experienced a reduction of $8,378 or 1.6 percent. AP decreased $4,960 or 19.7 percent as the company executed on 
its decision in 2013 to exit the security business in Australia. These reductions were partially offset by Brazil increasing from the 
prior year due to the GAS acquisition.

The decrease in the Brazilian-based election and lottery systems was driven by cyclical purchasing decisions within the country.

Total service gross margin remained at 25.3 percent in 2013. NA service gross margin increased due to improvements resulting 
from lower employee related expense associated with restructuring initiatives and a decrease in insurance and vehicle related 
expense in the U.S. maintenance business.  In addition, NA benefited from stronger performance in the enterprise security business. 
These benefits were partially offset by lower FSS product volume within the U.S. regional business related to the expiration of 
the ADA  compliance  deadline  in  2012,  which  negatively  impacted  services  utilization  specific  to  professional  service  and 
installation. Total service gross margin also benefited from higher volume and improved margins in EMEA and AP, partially offset 
by a margin decrease in Brazil. Total service gross profit in 2013 and 2012 included restructuring charges of $27,107 and $6,226, 
respectively.

The decrease in total product gross margin was driven by NA, which had significantly lower volume, particularly in the U.S. 
regional bank business, due to the expiration of the ADA compliance deadline in 2012. In addition, the decline in U.S regional 
bank business coupled with an increase in U.S. national bank sales created a customer mix shift that contributed to the product 
margin deterioration. Total product gross margin was also negatively influenced by unfavorable customer mix and continued 
pricing  pressure  in AP  while  there  was  a  partially  offsetting  improvement  in  EMEA  mainly  due  to  favorable  manufacturing 
performance resulting primarily from beneficial currency impact on material purchase prices. Total product gross profit included 
restructuring charges of $1,256 in 2013 compared to a net restructuring accrual benefit of $1,849 in 2012.

The increase in selling and administrative expense resulted from higher non-routine expense and restructuring charges, partially 
offset by lower compensation and commission related expense, savings realized from the Company's continued focus on cost 
structure and favorable currency impact of $6,240. Non-routine expenses of $128,739 and $41,542 were included in 2013 and 
2012, respectively. The primary components of the 2013 non-routine expense were a $67,593 non-cash pension charge, additional 
losses of $28,000 related to the settlement of the FCPA investigation, $17,245 related to the settlement of the securities class action 
and executive severance costs of $9,300. The majority of the 2012 non-routine expense pertained to $21,907 in early pension buy-
out  payments  made  to  certain  deferred  terminated  vested  participants  and  estimated  losses  of  $16,750  related  to  the  FCPA 
investigation. Selling and administrative expense also included $22,561 and $9,037 of restructuring charges in 2013 and 2012, 
respectively. Restructuring charges in 2013 related to the Company's multi-year realignment plan, including $31,282 related to 
the voluntary early retirement program. The 2012 restructuring charges related to the Company's global realignment and global 
shared services plans.   

Research, development and engineering expense as a percent of net sales in 2013 and 2012 were 3.2 percent and 2.9 percent, 
respectively. The spend increase between years resulted from higher restructuring charges and higher expense related to software 
development in 2013.  Research, development and engineering expense included restructuring charges of $6,091 and $1,827 in 
2013 and 2012, respectively.   

During the third quarter of 2013, the Company performed an other-than-annual assessment for its Brazil reporting unit based on 
a two-step impairment test as a result of a reduced earnings outlook for the Brazil business unit due to deteriorating macro-economic 
outlook, structural changes to an auction-based purchasing environment and new competitors entering the market.  The Company 
concluded that the goodwill within the Brazil reporting unit was partially impaired and recorded a $70,000 pre-tax, non-cash 
goodwill  impairment  charge.  During  the  second  quarter  of  2012,  the  Company  impaired  previously  capitalized  software  and 
software-related costs of $6,701 due to changes in the global enterprise resource planning (ERP) system implementation plan 
related to configuration and design.  In the third quarter of 2012, the Company recorded an impairment of $7,930 related to its 50 
percent ownership in Shanghai Diebold King Safe Company, Ltd.

The decrease in (loss) income from continuing operations, net of tax was driven by reduced operating profit mostly related to the 
decrease in sales volume and the significant increases in impairment, non-routine expenses and restructuring charges, unfavorable 
movement in other (expense) income and higher taxes. These decreases were partially offset by lower operational spend and an 
improvement in service margin. 

The  negative  tax  rate  for  2013  is  a  result  of  tax  expense  of  approximately  $55,000  related  to  the  repatriation  of  previously 
undistributed earnings and the establishment of a valuation allowance of approximately $39,200 on deferred tax assets in the 
Company's Brazilian manufacturing facility. The 2013 tax rate was also negatively impacted by the partially non-deductible Brazil 
goodwill impairment and the FCPA penalty charge.

The decrease in revenue and operating profit was driven by lower FSS product volume in the U.S. regional bank business associated 
with the expiration of the ADA compliance deadline in 2012. The product volume decrease in regional bank business caused a 
corresponding reduction in the service business specific to installation and professional services. These detriments were partially 
offset by lower compensation and commission related expense, savings realized from the Company's continued focus on cost 
structure, and margin improvement in the U.S. maintenance business resulting from restructuring initiatives and growth in the 
national bank business.

to prior year as higher service gross profit resulting from the increased sales and improved service margin performance was offset 
by  a  reduction  in  product  gross  profit  and  higher  operating  expense. Total  product  gross  profit  was  negatively  impacted  by

complemented by improved margins especially on the product side mainly due to favorable manufacturing performance resulting 
primarily from beneficial currency impact on material purchase prices. These favorable influences on operating profit were partially

The increase in FSS sales included a net unfavorable currency impact of $85,545 or 4.5 percent, of which approximately 56 percent 
related to the Brazilian real. The following segment highlights include the impact of foreign currency. NA sales increased $181,576 
or 20.9 percent as a result of significant growth within the U.S. regional and national bank business influenced by the ADA 
compliance and a focus on deposit automation technology. With the expiration of the ADA compliance deadline, the rate of growth 
in regional sales has slowed and led to a higher concentration of national bank sales. EMEA decreased $20,085 or 5.8 percent 
driven by an unfavorable currency impact, particularly the euro and South African rand, partially offset with growth in South 
Africa compared to the prior year.  Brazil FSS sales declined $13,540 or 3.9 percent due to unfavorable currency impact of $47,522, 
partially offset by higher volume. LA increased $22,769 or 12.9 percent due to  higher volume across most of the geographies.  
AP increased $3,637 or 0.9 percent driven by higher volume in Thailand, partially offset by an unfavorable currency impact 
associated mostly with the Indian rupee.  

The security sales  increase resulted mainly from  growth in LA  of $12,742  or 27.9  percent associated with  higher volume in 
Colombia and Chile. NA security sales increased $3,938 or 0.7 percent compared to the prior year. The improvement in NA security 
sales was driven from an increase in infrastructure projects for government agency and commercial customers, partially offset by 
lower volume with financial customers compared to the prior year.

The Brazilian-based election and lottery systems sales in 2012 decreased by $36,646 or 39.5 percent compared to 2011, inclusive 
of a $13,608 net unfavorable currency impact.  The decrease was driven by a $46,116 reduction in election system sales primarily 
due to lower volume, partially offset by an increase in lottery unit sales compared to 2011.

The decrease in total service gross margin for 2012 compared to 2011 was driven by margin decreases in each region with the 
exception of EMEA, which improved due to fewer net restructuring charges in 2012 paired with a favorable customer mix. NA 
was the primary driver of the margin decrease due to an increased competitive environment and associated pricing impact coupled 
with higher compensation and benefits, scrap and insurance charges. Brazil was also down from an increase in warranty expense

combined with higher restructuring charges in 2012. Total service gross profit for 2012 included $6,226 of net restructuring charges 
compared to $10,678 of net restructuring charges in 2011.

The decrease in total product gross margin was driven by product and customer mix differences in Brazil, as well as continued 
pricing pressure in AP. Partially offsetting these decreases, NA product revenue was significantly higher in 2012 compared to 
2011, which caused a favorable shift in revenue mix among the regions, improving product gross margin. Total product gross 
profit for 2012 included $1,849 of net restructuring accrual benefits compared to $3,905 of net restructuring charges in 2011 related 
mainly to the EMEA reorganization.

The increase in selling and administrative expense was due to higher non-routine expenses, compensation and benefits increase 
and  legal  expenses,  partially  offset  by  a  favorable  currency  impact  of  $13,848  and  lower  restructuring  charges.  Selling  and 
administrative  expense  in  2012  and  2011  included  non-routine  expenses  of  $41,542  and  $16,480,  respectively.  Non-routine 
expenses  in  2012  included  $21,907  related  to  early  pension  buy-out  payments  made  to  certain  deferred  terminated  vested 
participants and estimated losses of $16,750 related to the FCPA investigation. The non-routine expenses in 2011 pertained to 
legal, consultative and audit costs related to the global FCPA investigation as well as estimated losses of $3,250 related to this 
matter. In addition, selling and administrative expense included $9,037 and $11,607 of restructuring charges in 2012 and 2011, 
respectively. The 2012 restructuring charges related to the Company's global realignment and global shared services plans. The 
2011 restructuring charges related mainly to the EMEA reorganization.

Research, development and engineering expense as a percent of net sales in 2012 and 2011 were 2.9 percent and 2.8 percent, 
respectively. The increase in operational spend was associated with key initiatives such as the development of next generation 
hardware and software platforms. Research, development and engineering expense also included higher restructuring charges 
associated with the Company's global realignment plan.

During the second quarter of 2012, the Company impaired previously capitalized software and software-related costs of $6,701 
due to changes in the global ERP system implementation plan related to configuration and design. In the third quarter of 2012, 
the Company recorded an impairment of $7,930 related to its 50 percent ownership in Shanghai Diebold King Safe Company, 
Ltd.  The impairment charge of $2,962 in 2011 resulted from a non-cash intangible asset impairment related to a prior acquisition.

The increase in revenue was primarily driven by growth in the FSS business, particularly related to higher product volume in both 
the U.S. regional and national bank business. The higher FSS product volume influenced growth in service installations and 
software-led services. Partially offsetting these revenue increases was a reduction in security product volume in the U.S. national 
bank business. Operating profit benefited from the higher net sales volume while being negatively impacted by an increase in 
operating expense and a decrease in total gross margin due in part to lower margin in traditional maintenance services related to 
competitive pricing and higher compensation and benefits, scrap, and insurance charges.

The revenue decrease, inclusive of a net unfavorable currency impact of $25,425, occurred among a majority of the countries 
within both the product and service businesses. The unfavorable impact of lower revenue on operating profit was more than offset 
by a significant decrease in operating expense and improved gross margins particularly in service.

The increase in revenue was due to higher FSS and security sales across most of the countries in the region. The volume gain 
paired with improved gross margin performance in the security business increased operating profit. These benefits to operating 
profit were partially offset by lower gross margin in the FSS business and higher selling and administrative expense.

Revenue was negatively impacted by net unfavorable currency impacts of $61,133. From an operational perspective, revenue 
increased $10,947 or 2.9 percent as higher FSS volume and lottery unit sales outweighed a decline in the election systems business. 
The decrease in operating profit resulted from customer and product mix differences, fewer election system sales compared to the 
prior year, higher warranty expense and unfavorable currency impact offset in part by the benefit of the GAS acquisition.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Capital resources are obtained from income retained in the business, borrowings under the Company’s senior notes, committed 
and uncommitted credit facilities, long-term industrial revenue bonds and operating and capital leasing arrangements.  Management 
expects that the Company’s capital resources will be sufficient to finance planned working capital needs, research and development 
activities, investments in facilities or equipment, pension contributions, the payment of dividends on the Company’s common 
shares and any repurchases of the Company’s common shares for at least the next 12 months.  At December 31, 2013, $468,109 
or 98.8 percent of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments reside in international tax jurisdictions.      
Repatriation of these funds could be negatively impacted by potential payments for foreign and domestic taxes, excluding $15,986 
that is available for repatriation with no additional tax expense because the Company has already provided for such taxes. Part of 
the Company’s growth strategy is to pursue strategic acquisitions.  The Company has made acquisitions in the past and intends to 
make acquisitions in the future.  The Company intends to finance any future acquisitions with either cash and short-term investments,

During 2013, the Company generated $124,224 in cash from operating activities, a decrease of $11,284 from 2012.  Cash flows 
from operating activities are generated primarily from operating income and managing the components of working capital.  Cash 
flows from operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the year ended December 31, 2012 were 
negatively impacted by a $256,067 unfavorable change in net (loss) income,  as well as unfavorable changes in prepaid income 
taxes, accounts payable, deferred income taxes and certain other assets and liabilities. These changes were partially offset by 
favorable changes in trade receivables, prepaid expenses, other current assets, deferred revenue and pension and post-retirement 
benefits.

Net cash used in investing activities was $52,719 in 2013, an improvement of $20,112 from 2012.  The improvement was primarily 
due to a $14,295 reduction in capital expenditures, $28,292 paid for acquisitions in 2012 and a $4,179 increase in proceeds from 
sale of assets.  These activities were partially offset by a $16,128 change in net investment security activity and a $9,856 reduction 
in collections on purchased finance receivables. 

Net cash used in financing activities was $204,449 in 2013, an increase of $168,222 from 2012.  The increase was primarily due 
to $126,670 of net debt repayments in 2013 compared to $23,625 of net debt borrowings in the prior year and an increase of 
$14,821 in distributions to noncontrolling interest holders.  

Benefit Plans The Company expects to contribute  $4,567 to its pension plans during the year ending December 31, 2014.  Beyond 
2014, minimum statutory funding requirements for the Company's U.S. pension plans may become significant.  The actual amounts 
required to be contributed are dependent upon, among other things, interest rates, underlying asset returns and the impact of 
legislative or regulatory actions related to pension funding obligations.  The Company has adopted a pension investment policy 
designed to achieve an adequate funded status based on expected benefit payouts and to establish an asset allocation that will meet 
or exceed the return assumption while maintaining a prudent level of risk.  The plan's target asset allocation adjusts based on the 
plan's funded status.  As the funded status improves or declines, the debt security target allocation will increase and decrease, 
respectively. 

Payments due under the Company's other post-retirement benefit plans are not required to be funded in advance. Payments are 
made as medical costs are incurred by covered retirees, and are principally dependent upon the future cost of retiree medical 
benefits under these plans.  The Company expects the other post-retirement benefit plan payments to approximate $1,695 in 2014.  
Refer to note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, which is contained in Item 8 of this annual report on Form 10-K, for 
further discussion of the Company's pension and other post-retirement benefit plans.

Dividends  The Company paid dividends of $73,997, $72,830 and $72,901 in the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, 
respectively.  Annualized dividends per share were $1.15, $1.14 and $1.12 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, 
respectively.  The quarterly 2014 cash dividend represents $1.15 per share on an annualized basis.

(1)  Amounts represent estimated contractual interest payments on outstanding long-term debt and notes payable. Rates in effect as of December 31, 

2013 are used for variable rate debt.

At December 31, 2013, the Company also maintained uncertain tax positions of $16,545, for which there is a high degree of 
uncertainty as to the expected timing of payments (refer to note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, which is contained in 
Item 8 of this annual report on Form 10-K). 

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had various short-term uncommitted lines of credit with borrowing limits of $106,809.  
The weighted-average interest rate on outstanding borrowings on the short-term uncommitted lines of credit as of December 31, 
2013 and 2012 was 3.24 percent and 2.81 percent, respectively.  The increase in the weighted-average interest rate is attributable 
to the change in mix of borrowings in foreign entities.  Short-term uncommitted lines mature in less than one year.  The amount 
available under the short-term uncommitted lines at December 31, 2013 was $63,747.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had borrowing limits under its credit facility totaling $500,000, which expires in  June 
2016. Under the terms of the credit facility agreement, the Company has the ability, subject to various approvals, to increase the 
borrowing  limits  by  $250,000.  Up  to  $50,000  of  the  revolving  credit  facility  is  available  under  a  swing  line  subfacility. The 
weighted-average interest rate on outstanding credit facility borrowings as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 was 1.36 percent and 
1.33 percent, respectively, which is variable based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR).  The amount available under 
the credit facility as of December 31, 2013 was $261,000.  The Company incurred $1,876 of fees related to its credit facility in 
2011, which are amortized as a component of interest expense over the term of the facility.

In March 2006, the Company issued senior notes in an aggregate principal amount of $300,000 with a weighted-average fixed 
interest rate of 5.50 percent.  The Company entered into a derivative transaction to hedge interest rate risk on $200,000 of the 
senior notes, which was treated as a cash flow hedge. This reduced the effective interest rate from 5.50 percent to 5.36 percent. 
The Company funded the repayment of  $75,000 of the senior notes at maturity in March 2013 using borrowings under its revolving 
credit facility. The maturity dates of the remaining senior notes are staggered, with $175,000 and $50,000  due in 2016 and 2018, 
respectively.  

The Company’s financing agreements contain various restrictive financial covenants, including net debt to capitalization and net 
interest coverage ratios.  As of December 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants in its debt 
agreements. 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements  The Company enters into various arrangements not recognized in the consolidated balance 
sheets that have or could have an effect on its financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital 
resources.  The principal off-balance sheet arrangements that the Company enters into are guarantees, operating leases (refer to 
note 13 to the consolidated financial statements, which is contained in Item 8 of this annual report on Form 10-K) and sales of 
finance receivables.  The Company provides its global operations guarantees and standby letters of credit through various financial 
institutions to suppliers, regulatory agencies and insurance providers.  If the Company is not able to make payment, the suppliers, 
regulatory  agencies  and  insurance  providers  may  draw  on  the  pertinent  bank.    Refer  to  note 14  to  the  consolidated  financial

statements, which is contained in Item 8 of this annual report on Form 10-K, for further details of guarantees.  The Company has 
sold finance receivables to financial institutions while continuing to service the receivables.  The Company records these sales by 
removing finance receivables from the consolidated balance sheets and recording gains and losses in the consolidated statement 
of operations.  Refer to note 6 to the consolidated financial statements, which is contained in Item 8 of this annual report on Form 
10-K, for further details on finance lease receivables.  

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Management’s discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s 
consolidated  financial  statements.    The  consolidated  financial  statements  of  the  Company  are  prepared  in  conformity  with 
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).  The preparation of the accompanying 
consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about 
future events.  These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures 
about contingent assets and liabilities and reported amounts of revenues and expenses.  Such estimates include revenue recognition, 
the valuation of trade and financing receivables, inventories, goodwill, intangible assets, other long-lived assets, legal contingencies, 
guarantee obligations, and assumptions used in the calculation of income taxes, pension and post-retirement benefits and customer 
incentives, among others.  These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment.  Management 
evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors.  Management monitors 
the economic conditions and other factors and will adjust such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate.  
As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, which is contained 
in Item 8 of this annual report on Form 10-K. Management believes that, of its significant accounting policies, its policies concerning 
revenue recognition, allowances for credit losses, inventory reserves, goodwill, taxes on income and pensions and post-retirement 
benefits  are  the  most  critical  because  they  are  affected  significantly  by  judgments,  assumptions  and  estimates. Additional 
information regarding these policies is included below.

Revenue Recognition The Company records revenue when it is realized, or realizable and earned.  The application of U.S. GAAP 
revenue recognition principles to the Company's customer contracts requires judgment, including the determination of whether 
an arrangement includes multiple deliverables such as hardware, software, maintenance and /or other services. For contracts that 
contain multiple deliverables, total arrangement consideration is allocated at the inception of the arrangement to each deliverable 
based on the relative selling price method.  The relative selling price method is based on a hierarchy consisting of vendor specific 
objective evidence (VSOE) (price sold on a stand-alone basis), if available, or third-party evidence (TPE), if VSOE is not available, 
or estimated selling price (ESP) if neither VSOE nor TPE is available.  The Company's ESP is consistent with the objective of 
determining  VSOE,  which  is  the  price  at  which  we  would  expect  to  transact  on  a  stand-alone  sale  of  the  deliverable.    The 
determination of ESP is based on applying significant judgment to weigh a variety of company-specific factors including our 
pricing practices, customer volume, geography, internal costs and gross margin objectives.  This information is gathered from 
experience in customer negotiations, recent technological trends and the competitive landscape. In contracts that involve multiple 
deliverables, maintenance services are typically accounted for under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting 
Standards Codification (ASC) 605-20, Separately Priced Extended Warranty and Product Maintenance Contracts.  There have 
been no material changes to these estimates for the periods presented and the Company believes that these estimates generally 
should not be subject to significant changes in the future.  However, changes to deliverables in future arrangements could materially 
impact the amount of earned or deferred revenue. 

For sales of software, excluding software required for the equipment to operate as intended, the Company applies the software 
revenue recognition principles within FASB ASC 985-605, Software - Revenue Recognition.  For software and software-related 
deliverables  (software  elements),  the  Company  allocates  revenue  based  upon  the  relative  fair  value  of  these  deliverables  as 
determined by VSOE.  If the Company cannot obtain VSOE for any undelivered software element, revenue is deferred until all 
deliverables have been delivered or until VSOE can be determined for any remaining undelivered software elements.  When the 
fair value of a delivered element cannot be established, but fair value evidence exists for the undelivered software elements, the 
Company uses the residual method to recognize revenue.  Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements 
is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement consideration is allocated to the delivered elements and recognized as 
revenue.  Determination of amounts deferred for software support  requires judgment about whether the deliverables can be divided 
into more than one unit of accounting and whether the separate deliverables have value to the customer on a stand-alone basis.

There have been no material changes to these deliverables for the periods presented.  However, changes to deliverables in future 
arrangements and the ability to establish VSOE could affect the amount and timing of revenue recognition.

Allowances for Credit Losses The Company maintains allowances for potential credit losses and such losses have been minimal 
and within management’s expectations.  Since the Company’s receivable balance is concentrated primarily in the financial and 
government sectors, an economic downturn in these sectors could result in higher than expected credit losses.  The concentration 
of credit risk in the Company’s trade receivables with respect to financial and government customers is largely mitigated by the 
Company’s credit evaluation process and the geographical dispersion of sales transactions from a large number of individual 
customers. 

Inventory Reserves At each reporting period, the Company identifies and writes down its excess and obsolete inventories to  net 
realizable value based on usage forecasts, order volume and inventory aging.  With the development of new products, the Company 
also rationalizes its product offerings and will write-down discontinued product to the lower of cost or net realizable value.

Goodwill Goodwill is the cost in excess of the net assets of acquired businesses (refer to note 10 to the consolidated financial 
statements, which is contained in Item 8 of this annual report on Form 10-K).  The Company tests all existing goodwill at least 
annually as of November 30 for impairment on a reporting unit basis.  The Company tests for impairment between annual tests if 
an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the carrying value of a reporting unit below its 
reported amount.  The Company’s five reporting units are defined as Domestic and Canada, Brazil, LA, AP and EMEA.  Each 
year, the Company may elect to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value 
of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value.  In evaluating whether it is more likely than not the fair value of a reporting unit 
is less than its carrying amount, the Company considers the following events and circumstances, among others, if applicable: (a) 
macroeconomic conditions such as general economic conditions, limitations on accessing capital or other developments in equity 
and credit markets; (b) industry and market considerations such as competition, multiples or metrics and changes in the market 
for the Company's products and services or regulatory and political environments; (c) cost factors such as raw materials, labor or 
other costs; (d) overall financial performance such as cash flows, actual and planned revenue and earnings compared with actual 
and projected results of relevant prior periods; (e) other relevant events such as changes in key personnel, strategy or customers; 
(f) changes in the composition of a reporting unit's assets or expected sales of all or a portion of a reporting unit; and (g) any 
sustained decrease in share price.  

If the Company's qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than 
its carrying value, or if management elects to perform a quantitative assessment of goodwill, a two-step impairment test is used 
to identify potential goodwill impairment and measure the amount of any impairment loss to be recognized.   In the first step, the 
Company compares the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying value.  The fair value is determined based upon discounted 
estimated future cash flows as well as the market approach or guideline public company method.  The Company’s Step 1 impairment 
test of goodwill of a reporting unit is based upon the fair value of the reporting unit, defined as the price that would be received 
to sell the net assets or transfer the net liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the assessment date.  In 
the event that the net carrying amount exceeds the fair value, a Step 2 test must be performed whereby the fair value of the reporting 
unit’s goodwill must be estimated to determine if it is less than its net carrying amount.  In its two-step test, the Company uses 
the discounted cash flow method and the guideline company method for determining the fair value of its reporting units.  Under 
these methods, the determination of implied fair value of the goodwill for a particular reporting unit is the excess of the fair value 
of  a  reporting  unit  over  the  amounts  assigned  to  its  assets  and  liabilities  in  the  same  manner  as  the  allocation  in  a  business 
combination.  

The techniques used in the Company's qualitative assessment and, if necessary, two-step impairment test have incorporated a 
number of assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable and to reflect market conditions forecast at the assessment 
date.  Assumptions in estimating future cash flows are subject to a high degree of judgment.  The Company makes all efforts to 
forecast future cash flows as accurately as possible with the information available at the time the forecast is made.  To this end, 
the Company evaluates the appropriateness of its assumptions as well as its overall forecasts by comparing projected results of 
upcoming years with actual results of preceding years and validating that differences therein are reasonable. Key assumptions, all 
of which are Level 3 inputs (refer to note 18 to the consolidated financial statements, which is contained in Item 8 of this annual 
report on Form 10-K), relate to price trends, material costs, discount rate, customer demand, and the long-term growth and foreign 
exchange rates.  A number of benchmarks from independent industry and other economic publications were also used.  Changes 
in assumptions and estimates after the assessment date may lead to an outcome where impairment charges would be required in 
future periods.  Specifically, actual results may vary from the Company’s forecasts and such variations may be material and

unfavorable, thereby triggering the need for future impairment tests where the conclusions may differ in reflection of prevailing 
market conditions.

During the third quarter of  2013, the Company performed an other-than-annual assessment for its Brazil reporting unit based on 
a two-step impairment test as a result of a reduced earnings outlook for the Brazil business unit.  This was due to a deteriorating 
macro-economic outlook, structural changes to an auction-based purchasing environment and new competitors entering the market. 
The Company concluded that the goodwill within the Brazil reporting unit was partially impaired and recorded a $70,000 pre-tax, 
non-cash goodwill impairment charge.  In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Brazil reporting unit was reviewed for impairment based 
on a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its 
carrying value.  In addition, the remaining reporting units were reviewed based on a two-step test.  These tests resulted in no 
additional impairment in any of the Company's reporting units.  The Company concluded the AP reporting unit had excess fair 
value of approximately $23,000 or eight percent when compared to its carrying amount.   The Domestic and Canada and LA 
reporting units had excess fair value greater than 100 percent when compared to their carrying amounts. 

In 2012, goodwill was reviewed for impairment based on a two-step test which resulted in no impairment in any of the Company's 
reporting units. In 2011, the Company performed a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the 
fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value.  In the 2011 qualitative assessment, management concluded that the 
Company's reporting units were not at risk of failing step one and, therefore, the two-step impairment test was not performed.  

Long-Lived Assets Impairment of long-lived assets is recognized when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the 
carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.  If the expected future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying 
amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized at that time to reduce the asset to the lower of its fair value or its net book 
value.

Taxes on Income Deferred taxes are provided on an asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for 
deductible temporary differences, operating loss carry-forwards and tax credits.  Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable 
temporary differences and undistributed earnings in certain jurisdictions.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance 
when, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be 
realized.  Determination of a valuation allowance involves estimates regarding the timing and amount of the reversal of taxable 
temporary differences, expected future taxable income and the impact of tax planning strategies. Deferred tax assets and liabilities 
are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

The  Company  operates  in  numerous  taxing  jurisdictions  and  is  subject  to  examination  by  various  federal,  state  and  foreign 
jurisdictions for various tax periods.  Additionally, the Company has retained tax liabilities and the rights to tax refunds in connection 
with  various  acquisitions  and  divestitures  of  businesses.    The  Company’s  income  tax  positions  are  based  on  research  and 
interpretations of the income tax laws and rulings in each of the jurisdictions in which the Company does business.  Due to the 
subjectivity of interpretations of laws and rulings in each jurisdiction, the differences and interplay in tax laws between those 
jurisdictions, as well as the inherent uncertainty in estimating the final resolution of complex tax audit matters, the Company’s 
estimates of income tax liabilities may differ from actual payments or assessments.

The Company assesses its position with regard to tax exposures and records liabilities for these uncertain tax positions and any 
related interest and penalties, when the tax benefit is not more likely than not realizable.  The Company has recorded an accrual 
that reflects the recognition and measurement process for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position 
taken or expected to be taken on a tax return.  Additional future income tax expense or benefit may be recognized once the positions 
are effectively settled.

At the end of each interim reporting period, the Company estimates the effective tax rate expected to apply to the full fiscal year. 
The estimated effective tax rate contemplates the expected jurisdiction where income is earned, as well as tax planning alternatives. 
Current and projected growth in income in higher tax jurisdictions may result in an increasing effective tax rate over time.  If the 
actual results differ from estimates, the Company may adjust the effective tax rate in the interim period if such determination is 
made.

Contingencies Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources 
are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred 
in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.  There is no liability recorded for matters in which the liability is 
not probable and reasonably estimable.  Attorneys in the Company's legal department monitor and manage all claims filed against 
the Company and review all pending investigations.  Generally, the estimate of probable loss related to these matters is developed 
in consultation with internal and outside legal counsel representing the Company.  These estimates are based upon an analysis of 
potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. The Company attempts to resolve these matters 
through settlements, mediation and arbitration proceedings when possible.  If the actual settlement costs, final judgments, or fines, 
after appeals, differ from the estimates, the future results may be materially impacted.  Adjustments to the initial estimates are 
recorded when a change in the estimate is identified.  

Pensions and Other Post-retirement Benefits Annual net periodic expense and benefit liabilities under the Company’s defined 
benefit plans are determined on an actuarial basis.  Assumptions used in the actuarial calculations have a significant impact on 
plan obligations and expense.  Members of the management investment committee periodically review the actual experience 
compared with the more significant assumptions used and make adjustments to the assumptions, if warranted.  The discount rate 
is determined by analyzing the average return of high-quality (i.e., AA-rated) fixed-income investments and the year-over-year 
comparison of certain widely used benchmark indices as of the measurement date.  The expected long-term rate of return on plan 
assets is determined using the plans’ current asset allocation and their expected rates of return based on a geometric averaging 
over 20 years.  The rate of compensation increase assumptions reflects the Company’s long-term actual experience and future and 
near-term outlook.  Pension benefits are funded through deposits with trustees.  Other post-retirement benefits are not funded and 
the Company’s policy is to pay these benefits as they become due.

The following table represents assumed healthcare cost trend rates at December 31:

Healthcare cost trend rate assumed for next year
Rate to which the cost trend rate is assumed to decline (the ultimate trend rate)
Year that rate reaches ultimate trend rate

2013

2012

7.5%
5.0%
2019

8.0%
4.2%
2099

The healthcare trend rates are reviewed based upon the results of actual claims experience.  The Company used healthcare cost 
trends of 7.5 percent and 8.0 percent in 2014 and 2013, respectively, decreasing to an ultimate trend of 5.0 percent in 2019 for 
both medical and prescription drug benefits using the Society of Actuaries Long Term Trend Model with assumptions based on 
the 2008 Medicare Trustees’ projections.  Assumed healthcare cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported 
for the healthcare plans.  A one-percentage-point change in assumed healthcare cost trend rates would have the following effects:

Effect on total of service and interest cost
Effect on other post-retirement benefit obligation

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT DISCLOSURE

In this annual report on Form 10-K, statements that are not reported financial results or other historical information are “forward-
looking statements.”  Forward-looking statements give current expectations or forecasts of future events and are not guarantees 
of  future  performance.    These  forward-looking  statements  relate  to,  among  other  things,  the  Company’s  future  operating 
performance, the Company’s share of new and existing markets, the Company’s short- and long-term revenue and earnings growth 
rates, the Company’s implementation of cost-reduction initiatives and measures to improve pricing, including the optimization of 
the Company’s manufacturing capacity.  The use of the words "will," "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "projects," "expects," 
"intends" and similar  expressions is intended to identify forward-looking statements that have been made and may in the future 
be made by or on behalf of the Company.

Although the Company believes that these forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions regarding, among 
other things, the economy, its knowledge of its business, and on key performance indicators that impact the Company, these 
forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from 
those  expressed  in  or  implied  by  the  forward-looking  statements.   The  Company  is  not  obligated  to  update  forward-looking 
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. 
Some of the risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or 
implied by the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

•

changes in political, economic or other factors such as currency exchange rates, inflation rates, recessionary or expansive 
trends, taxes and regulations and laws affecting the worldwide business in each of the Company's operations, including 
Brazil, where a significant portion of the Company's revenue is derived;

global economic conditions, including any additional deterioration and disruptions in the financial markets, including 
bankruptcies, restructurings or consolidations of financial institutions, which could reduce our customer base and/or 
adversely affect our customers’ ability to make capital expenditures, as well as adversely impact the availability and cost 
of credit;

acceptance of the Company's product and technology introductions in the marketplace; 

the Company’s ability to maintain effective internal controls;

changes in the Company’s intention to further repatriate cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments residing 
in international tax jurisdictions could negatively impact foreign and domestic taxes;

unanticipated litigation, claims or assessments, as well as the outcome/impact of any current/pending litigation, claims or 
assessments, including with respect to the Company's Brazilian tax dispute;
variations in consumer demand for financial self-service technologies, products and services; 

potential security violations to the Company's information technology systems;

the investment performance of the Company’s pension plan assets, which could require the Company to increase its 
pension contributions, and significant changes in healthcare costs, including those that may result from government 
action;

the amount and timing of repurchases of the Company’s common shares, if any;

the outcome of the Company's assessment of its indirect tax compliance in Brazil;

the Company's ability to successfully implement its multi-year turnaround strategy, Diebold 2.0;

the Company’s ability to achieve benefits from its cost-reduction initiatives and other strategic changes, including its 
multi-year realignment plan and other restructuring actions; and

ITEM 7A:  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk inherent in its international operations denominated in currencies 
other than the U.S. dollar.  A hypothetical 10 percent movement in the applicable foreign exchange rates would have resulted in 
an increase or decrease in 2013 and 2012 year-to-date operating profit of approximately $341 and $5,946, respectively.  The 
sensitivity model assumes an instantaneous, parallel shift in the foreign currency exchange rates.  Exchange rates rarely move in 
the same direction.  The assumption that exchange rates change in an instantaneous or parallel fashion may overstate the impact 
of changing exchange rates on amounts denominated in a foreign currency.

The Company’s risk-management strategy uses derivative financial instruments such as forwards to hedge certain foreign currency 
exposures.  The intent is to offset gains and losses that occur on the underlying exposures, with gains and losses on the derivative 
contracts hedging these exposures.  The Company does not enter into derivatives for trading purposes.  The Company’s primary 
exposures to foreign exchange risk are movements in the euro/U.S. dollar, U.S. dollar/Brazilian real, Australian dollar/U.S. dollar 
and Chinese yuan renmindbi/U.S. dollar.  There were no significant changes in the Company’s foreign exchange risks in 2013 
compared with 2012.

The Company’s Venezuelan operations consist of a fifty-percent owned subsidiary, which is consolidated.  Venezuela is measured 
using the U.S. dollar as its functional currency because its economy is considered highly inflationary.  In recent years, the Venezuelan 
bolivar has devalued.  In the future, fluctuations in the bolivar may result in gains or losses in the statement of operations. 

The Company manages interest rate risk with the use of variable rate borrowings under its committed and uncommitted credit 
facilities and interest rate swaps.  Variable rate borrowings under the credit facilities totaled $293,962  and $345,816 at December 31, 
2013 and 2012, respectively, of which $50,000 for both years was effectively converted to fixed rate using interest rate swaps.  A 
one percentage point increase or decrease in interest rates would have resulted in an increase or decrease in interest expense of 
approximately $2,391 and $2,662 for 2013 and 2012, respectively, including the impact of the swap agreements.  The Company’s 
primary exposure to interest rate risk is movements in the LIBOR, which is consistent with prior periods.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders 
Diebold, Incorporated:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Diebold, Incorporated and subsidiaries (the Company) as of 
December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive (loss) income, equity, and 
cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2013. In connection with our audits of the consolidated 
financial statements, we also have audited the financial statement schedule, Schedule II “Valuation and Qualifying Accounts.” 
These consolidated financial statements and the financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. 
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and the financial statement schedule based 
on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements 
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures 
in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by 
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable 
basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position 
of Diebold, Incorporated and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash 
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting 
principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated 
financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the 
Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control - 
Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and 
our report dated March 3, 2014 expressed an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial 
reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders 
Diebold, Incorporated:

We have audited Diebold, Incorporated's (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based 
on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations 
of  the Treadway  Commission  (COSO).  Diebold,  Incorporated's  management  is  responsible  for  maintaining  effective  internal 
control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in 
the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A(b) of the Company's 
December 31, 2013 annual report on Form 10-K. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control 
over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control 
over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control 
over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating 
effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures, as we 
considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability 
of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain 
to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets 
of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial 
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are 
being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable 
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that 
could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because  of  its  inherent  limitations,  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  may  not  prevent  or  detect  misstatements. Also, 
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because 
of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there 
is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented 
or detected on a timely basis. Material weaknesses related to controls over indirect taxes and communication and India system 
adoption and account reconciliation process have been identified in management's assessment. We also have audited, in accordance 
with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Diebold, 
Incorporated  and  subsidiaries  as  of  December  31,  2013  and  2012,  and  the  related  consolidated  statements  of  operations, 
comprehensive income (loss), equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2013. 
These material weaknesses were considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 
2013  consolidated  financial  statements,  and  this  report  does  not  affect  our  report  dated  March  3,  2014,  which  expressed  an 
unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

In our opinion, because of the effect of the aforementioned material weakness on the achievement of the objectives of the control 
criteria, Diebold, Incorporated has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, 
based  on  criteria  established  in  Internal  Control-Integrated  Framework  (1992)  issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring 
Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

FORM 10-K as of December 31, 2013
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

NOTE 1:  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Diebold, Incorporated and its wholly- 
and majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the Company). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been 
eliminated.

Use of Estimates in Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements The preparation of the accompanying consolidated 
financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) 
requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events.  These estimates and the underlying assumptions 
affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of 
revenues and expenses.  Such estimates include revenue recognition, the valuation of trade and financing receivables (refer to note 
7), inventories, goodwill, intangible assets, other long-lived assets, legal contingencies, guarantee obligations and assumptions 
used in the calculation of income taxes, pension and other post-retirement benefits and customer incentives, among others.  These 
estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment.  Management evaluates its estimates and 
assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors.  Management monitors the economic condition 
and other factors and will adjust such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate.  As future events and their 
effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

International Operations The financial statements of the Company’s international operations are measured using local currencies 
as their functional currencies, with the exception of Venezuela, which is measured using the U.S. dollar as its functional currency 
because its economy is considered highly inflationary.

The Company translates the assets and liabilities of its non-U.S. subsidiaries at the exchange rates in effect at year end and the 
results  of operations  at the average  rate throughout the  year.   The  translation adjustments are recorded directly as  a  separate 
component of shareholders’ equity, while transaction gains (losses) are included in net income.  Sales to customers outside the 
United States in relation to total consolidated net sales approximated 52.3 percent, 48.7 percent and 52.7 percent in 2013, 2012 
and 2011, respectively.

Error Correction and Reclassification  The Company continues to work to remediate an internal control weakness pertaining 
to manufacturing and supply chain processes related to indirect tax incentives in one of its Brazilian subsidiaries.  As part of 
remediation, during the second quarter of 2013, the Company identified an error related to prior year periods for Brazilian indirect 
tax incentives previously not appropriately recognized in product cost of goods sold.  Prior-year amounts of product cost of sales, 
income tax expense, other current liabilities and retained earnings have been adjusted as management determined that the correction 
for each respective year is not material to each prior-year period.  This correction was recorded within the Company's operations 
in the Brazil reporting segment.  As a result of applying the correction retrospectively, previously reported product cost of sales 
for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 increased by $6,533 and $5,455, respectively, and previously reported net income 
and diluted earnings per share decreased by $4,851 and $0.08 and $668 and $0.02, respectively.  The aggregated amount of the 
correction reflected in other current liabilities and retained earnings as of December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $18,489, $13,638 
and $12,970, respectively.  There was no impact of the correction on previously reported cash flows from operations for the prior 
period.

The Company reclassified prior year amounts related to the Company's estimate of losses associated with the global Foreign 
Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) investigation to conform to the current-year presentation.  As a result of this reclassification, expenses 
of $16,750 and $3,250 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, previously reported within miscellaneous, 
net are now reported within selling and administrative expense within the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company has also restated the presentation of certain prior-year segment information to conform to the current presentation.  
As discussed in Note 19,  effective in the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company began managing its business on a regional geographic 
basis, changing from the previous model, which was a more condensed geographic basis. In order to align the Company’s external 
reporting of its financial results with this change, the Company has modified its segment reporting and has restated prior period 
segment information to conform to the current period presentation of its segment information.  The Company now reports the 
following five segments: North America (NA), Asia Pacific (AP), Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), Latin America (LA) 
and Brazil.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

Revenue Recognition The Company’s revenue recognition policy is consistent with the requirements of Financial Accounting 
Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 605, Revenue Recognition (ASC 605). In general, the Company 
records revenue when it is realized, or realizable and earned.  The Company considers revenue to be realized, or realizable and 
earned when, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the products or services have been approved by the customer after 
delivery and/or installation acceptance or performance of services; the sales price is fixed or determinable within the contract; and 
collectability is reasonably assured.  The Company's products include both hardware and the software required for the equipment 
to operate as intended, and for product sales, the Company determines the earnings process is complete when title, risk of loss 
and the right to use the product has transferred to the customer.  Within NA, the earnings process is completed upon customer 
acceptance.  Where the Company is contractually responsible for installation, customer acceptance occurs upon completion of the 
installation of all equipment at a job site and the Company’s demonstration that the equipment is in operable condition.  Where 
the Company is not contractually responsible for installation, customer acceptance occurs upon shipment or delivery to a customer 
location  depending  on  the  terms  within  the  contract.    Internationally,  customer  acceptance  is  upon  the  earlier  of  delivery  or 
completion of the installation depending on the terms in the contract with the customer. 

The application of ASC 605 to the Company's customer contracts requires judgment, including the determination of whether an 
arrangement includes multiple deliverables such as hardware, software, maintenance and/or other services. For contracts that 
contain multiple deliverables, total arrangement consideration is allocated at the inception of the arrangement to each deliverable 
based on the relative selling price method.  The relative selling price method is based on a hierarchy consisting of vendor specific 
objective evidence (VSOE) (price when sold on a stand-alone basis), if available, or third-party evidence (TPE), if VSOE is not 
available, or estimated selling price (ESP) if neither VSOE nor TPE is available.  The Company's ESP is consistent with the 
objective of determining VSOE, which is the price at which we would expect to transact on a stand-alone sale of the deliverable. 
The determination of ESP is based on applying significant judgment to weigh a variety of company-specific factors including our 
pricing practices, customer volume, geography, internal costs and gross margin objectives, information gathered from experience 
in customer negotiations, recent technological trends, and competitive landscape.  In contracts that involve multiple deliverables, 
maintenance services are typically accounted for under FASB ASC 605-20, Separately Priced Extended Warranty and Product 
Maintenance Contracts.  

For software sales, excluding software required for the equipment to operate as intended, the Company applies the software revenue 
recognition principles within FASB ASC 985-605, Software - Revenue Recognition.  For software and software-related deliverables 
(software elements), the Company allocates revenue based upon the relative fair value of these deliverables as determined by 
VSOE.  If the Company cannot obtain VSOE for any undelivered software element, revenue is deferred until all deliverables have 
been delivered or until VSOE can be determined for any remaining undelivered software elements.  When the fair value of a 
delivered element cannot be established, but fair value evidence exists for the undelivered software elements, the Company uses 
the residual method to recognize revenue.  Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and 
the remaining portion of the arrangement consideration is allocated to the delivered elements and recognized as revenue.  

The Company has the following revenue streams related to sales to its customers: 

Financial Self-Service Product & Outsourcing and Managed Services Revenue Financial self-service (FSS) products are 
primarily automated teller machines (ATMs) and other equipment primarily used in the banking industry which include both 
hardware and the software required for the equipment to operate as intended.  The Company also provides service contracts on 
FSS products that typically cover a 12-month period and can begin at any time after the warranty period expires.  The service 
provided under warranty is limited as compared to those offered under service contracts.  Further, warranty is not considered a 
separate deliverable of the sale and covers only replacement of defective parts inclusive of labor.  Service contracts provide 
additional services beyond those covered under the warranty, including preventative maintenance service, cleaning, supplies 
stocking and cash handling, all of which are not essential to the functionality of the equipment.  Service revenue also includes 
services and parts the Company provides on a billed-work basis that are not covered by warranty or service contract.  The 
Company  also  provides  customers  with  integrated  services  such  as  outsourced  and  managed  services,  including  remote 
monitoring, trouble-shooting, training, transaction processing, currency management, maintenance or full support services. 

Electronic Security Products & Outsourcing and Managed Services Revenue The Company provides global product sales, 
service, installation, project management for longer-term contracts and monitoring of original equipment manufacturer electronic 
security products to financial, government, retail and commercial customers.  These solutions provide the Company’s customers 
a single-source solution to their electronic security needs.

DIEBOLD INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
FORM 10-K as of December 31, 2013
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

Physical Security & Facility Revenue The Company designs, manufactures and/or procures and installs physical security and 
facility products.  These consist of vaults, safe deposit boxes and safes, drive-up banking equipment and a host of other banking 
facilities products. 

Election and Lottery Systems Revenue The Company offers election and lottery systems product solutions and support to the 
Brazilian government. Election systems revenue consists of election equipment sales, networking, tabulation and diagnostic 
software development, training, support and maintenance.  Lottery systems revenue primarily consists of equipment sales.  The 
election and lottery equipment components are included in product revenue.  The software development, training, support and 
maintenance components are included in service revenue.

Software Solutions & Service Revenue The Company offers software solutions, excluding software required for the equipment 
to operate as intended, consisting of multiple applications that process events and transactions (networking software) along with 
the related server. Sales of networking software represent software solutions to customers that allow them to network various 
different vendors’ ATMs onto one network.   Included within service revenue is revenue from software support agreements, 
which are typically 12 months in duration and pertain to networking software. 

Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is computed using the straight-line method for 
financial statement purposes.  Amortization of leasehold improvements is based upon the shorter of original terms of the lease or 
life of the improvement.  Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.  Amortization of the Company’s other long-term 
assets, such as intangible assets and capitalized computer software, is computed using the straight-line method over the life of the 
asset.

Advertising Costs Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and were $9,812, $11,316 and $10,474 in 2013, 2012 and 2011, 
respectively.

Research, Development and Engineering Research, development and engineering costs are expensed as incurred and were 
$92,315, $85,881 and $78,108 in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Shipping and Handling Costs The Company recognizes shipping and handling fees billed when products are shipped or delivered 
to a customer and includes such amounts in net sales.  Third-party freight payments are recorded in cost of sales.

Taxes on Income Deferred taxes are provided on an asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for 
deductible temporary differences, operating loss carry-forwards and tax credits.  Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable 
temporary  differences  and  undistributed  earnings  in  certain  tax  jurisdictions.  Deferred  tax  assets  are  reduced  by  a  valuation 
allowance when, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not 
be realized. Determination of a valuation allowance involves estimates regarding the timing and amount of the reversal of taxable 
temporary differences, expected future taxable income and the impact of tax planning strategies.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities 
are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

The Company regularly assesses its position with regard to tax exposures and records liabilities for these uncertain tax positions 
and related interest and penalties, if any, when the tax benefit is not more likely than not realizable.  The Company has recorded 
an accrual that reflects the recognition and measurement process for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax 
position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return.  Additional future income tax expense or benefit may be recognized once 
the positions are effectively settled.

Sales Tax The Company collects sales taxes from customers and accounts for sales taxes on a net basis.

Cash Equivalents The Company considers highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time 
of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Financial Instruments The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and accounts payable, approximated 
their fair value because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments.  The Company’s risk-management strategy uses 
derivative financial instruments such as forwards to hedge certain foreign currency exposures and interest rate swaps to manage 
interest rate risk.  The intent is to offset gains and losses that occur on the underlying exposures, with gains and losses on the 
derivative contracts hedging these exposures.  The Company does not enter into derivatives for trading purposes.  The Company 
recognizes all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value.  Changes in the fair values of derivatives that are not designated as 

52

DIEBOLD INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
FORM 10-K as of December 31, 2013
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

hedges are recognized in earnings.  If the derivative is designated and qualifies as a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, 
changes in the fair value of the derivatives are either offset against the change in the hedged assets or liabilities through earnings 
or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings.

Inventories The Company primarily values inventories at the lower of cost or market applied on a first-in, first-out basis. The 
Company identifies and writes down its excess and obsolete inventories to net realizable value based on usage forecasts, order 
volume and inventory aging.  With the development of new products, the Company also rationalizes its product offerings and will 
write-down discontinued product to the lower of cost or net realizable value.

Deferred Revenue Deferred revenue is recorded for any services billed to customers and not yet recognizable if the contract 
period has commenced or for the amount collected from customers in advance of the contract period commencing.  In addition, 
deferred revenue is recorded for products and other deliverables that are billed to and collected from customers prior to revenue 
being recognizable.

Split-Dollar Life Insurance The Company recognizes a liability for the post-retirement obligation associated with a collateral 
assignment arrangement if, based on an agreement with an employee, the Company has agreed to maintain a life insurance policy 
during  the  post-retirement  period  or  to  provide  a  death  benefit.    In  addition,  the  Company  recognizes  a  liability  and  related 
compensation costs for future benefits that extend to post-retirement periods. 

Goodwill Goodwill is the cost in excess of the net assets of acquired businesses (refer to note 10).  The Company tests all existing 
goodwill at least annually as of November 30 for impairment on a reporting unit basis.  The Company tests for impairment between 
annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the carrying value of a reporting 
unit below its reported amount.  The Company’s reporting units are defined as Domestic and Canada, LA, Brazil,  AP, and EMEA.  
Each year, the Company may elect to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair 
value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value.  In evaluating whether it is more likely than not the fair value of a reporting 
unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company considers the following events and circumstances, among others, if applicable: 
(a) macroeconomic conditions such as general economic conditions, limitations on accessing capital or other developments in 
equity and credit markets; (b) industry and market considerations such as competition, multiples or metrics and changes in the 
market for the Company's products and services or regulatory and political environments; (c) cost factors such as raw materials, 
labor or other costs; (d) overall financial performance such as cash flows, actual and planned revenue and earnings compared with 
actual and projected results of relevant prior periods; (e) other relevant events such as changes in key personnel, strategy or 
customers; (f) changes in the composition of a reporting unit's assets or expected sales of all or a portion of a reporting unit; and 
(g) any sustained decrease in share price.  

If the Company's qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than 
its carrying value, or if management elects to perform a quantitative assessment of goodwill, a two-step impairment test is used 
to identify potential goodwill impairment and measure the amount of any impairment loss to be recognized.  In the first step, the 
Company compares the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying value.  The fair value is determined based upon discounted 
estimated future cash flows as well as the market approach or guideline public company method.  The Company’s Step 1 impairment 
test of goodwill of a reporting unit is based upon the fair value of the reporting unit, defined as the price that would be received 
to sell the net assets or transfer the net liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the assessment date.  In 
the event that the net carrying amount exceeds the fair value, a Step 2 test must be performed whereby the fair value of the reporting 
unit’s goodwill must be estimated to determine if it is less than its net carrying amount.  In its two-step test, the Company uses 
the discounted cash flow method and the guideline company method for determining the fair value of its reporting units.  Under 
these methods, the determination of implied fair value of the goodwill for a particular reporting unit is the excess of the fair value 
of  a  reporting  unit  over  the  amounts  assigned  to  its  assets  and  liabilities  in  the  same  manner  as  the  allocation  in  a  business 
combination.  

The techniques used in the Company's qualitative assessment and, if necessary, two-step impairment test have incorporated a 
number of assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable and to reflect market conditions forecast at the assessment 
date.  Assumptions in estimating future cash flows are subject to a high degree of judgment.  The Company makes all efforts to 
forecast future cash flows as accurately as possible with the information available at the time the forecast is made.  To this end, 
the Company evaluates the appropriateness of its assumptions as well as its overall forecasts by comparing projected results of 
upcoming years with actual results of preceding years and validating that differences therein are reasonable. Key assumptions, all 
of which are Level 3 inputs (refer to note 18), relate to price trends, material costs, discount rate, customer demand and the long-

(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

term growth and foreign exchange rates.  A number of benchmarks from independent industry and other economic publications 
were also used.  Changes in assumptions and estimates after the assessment date may lead to an outcome where impairment charges 
would be required in future periods.  Specifically, actual results may vary from the Company’s forecasts and such variations may 
be material and unfavorable, thereby triggering the need for future impairment tests where the conclusions may differ in reflection 
of prevailing market conditions.

Long-Lived Assets Impairment of long-lived assets is recognized when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the 
carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.  If the expected future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying 
amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized at that time to reduce the asset to the lower of its fair value or its net book 
value.

Contingencies Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources 
are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated.  As additional 
information becomes available, any potential liability related to these matters is assessed and the estimates are revised, if necessary. 
Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.

Pensions and Other Post-retirement Benefits Annual net periodic expense and benefit liabilities under the Company’s defined 
benefit plans are determined on an actuarial basis.  Assumptions used in the actuarial calculations have a significant impact on 
plan obligations and expense.  Members of the management investment committee periodically review the actual experience 
compared with the more significant assumptions used and make adjustments to the assumptions, if warranted. The healthcare trend 
rates are reviewed based upon the results of actual claims experience.  The discount rate is determined by analyzing the average 
return  of  high-quality  (i.e., AA-rated)  fixed-income  investments  and  the  year-over-year  comparison  of  certain  widely  used 
benchmark indices as of the measurement date.  The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is determined using the plans’ 
current asset allocation and their expected rates of return based on a geometric averaging over 20 years.  The rate of compensation 
increase assumptions reflects the Company’s long-term actual experience and future and near-term outlook.  Pension benefits are 
funded through deposits with trustees.  Other post-retirement benefits are not funded and the Company’s policy is to pay these 
benefits as they become due.

The Company recognizes the funded status of each of its plans in the consolidated balance sheet.  Amortization of unrecognized 
net gain or loss resulting from experience different from that assumed and from changes in assumptions (excluding asset gains 
and losses not yet reflected in market-related value) is included as a component of net periodic benefit cost for a year if, as of the 
beginning of the year, that unrecognized net gain or loss exceeds five percent of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or 
the market-related value of plan assets.  If amortization is required, the amortization is that excess divided by the average remaining 
service period of participating employees expected to receive benefits under the plan.

Comprehensive Income Items included in other comprehensive income primarily represent adjustments made for foreign currency 
translation,hedging activities (refer to note 16), pension and other post-retirement benefit plans (refer to note 12) and unrealized 
gains and losses on available-for-sale securities (refer to note 5).  Reclassification adjustments recognized in AOCI for net gains 
on interest rate hedges and available-for-sale securities are included in interest expense and investment income, respectively, in 
the consolidated statement of operations.  Pension and postretirement benefit AOCI components are included in the computation 
of net periodic benefit cost.

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of 
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (ASU 2013-02), which required entities to disclose additional information for items 
reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI).  For items reclassified out of AOCI and into net income in 
their entirety, entities are required to disclose the effect of the reclassification on each affected net income line item.  For AOCI 
reclassification items that are not reclassified in their entirety into net income, a cross reference to other required U.S. GAAP 
disclosures is required.   This information may be provided either in the notes or parenthetically on the face of the statement that 
reports net income as long as all the information is disclosed in a single location. However, an entity is prohibited from providing 
this information parenthetically on the face of the statement that reports net income if it has items that are not reclassified in their 
entirety into net income. The guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012.  
The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company, however, the additional 
disclosures as required by ASU 2013-02 are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive (loss) income.  

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment, which allows assessment 
of qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets are less than 
their carrying amount.  If that assessment indicates no impairment, the quantitative impairment test is not required.  The FASB 
issued similar guidance for testing goodwill for impairment in September 2011.  The guidance is effective for annual and interim 
impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted.  The adoption of 
this update did not have an impact on the financial statements of the Company.  

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

In  July  2013,  the  FASB  issued ASU  2013-11,  Presentation  of  an  Unrecognized  Tax  Benefit  When  a  Net  Operating  Loss 
Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists, which requires entities to present an unrecognized tax 
benefit as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss (NOL) or tax credit carryforward whenever the NOL or tax 
credit carryforward would be available to reduce the additional taxable income or tax due if the tax position is disallowed. This 
accounting standard update requires entities to assess whether to net the unrecognized tax benefit with a deferred tax asset as of 
the reporting date. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. 
The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company.

NOTE 2:  EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted earnings per share 
includes the dilutive effect of potential common shares outstanding.  Under the two-class method of computing earnings per share, 
non-vested  share-based  payment  awards  that  contain  rights  to  receive  non-forfeitable  dividends  are  considered  participating 
securities.  The Company’s participating securities include restricted stock units (RSUs), director deferred shares and shares that 
were vested but deferred by employees.  The Company calculated basic and diluted earnings per share under both the treasury 
stock method and the two-class method.  For the years presented there were no differences in the earnings per share amounts 
calculated using the two methods.  Accordingly, the treasury stock method is disclosed below.

The following table represents amounts used in computing earnings per share and the effect on the weighted-average number of 
shares of dilutive potential common shares for the years ended December 31:

NOTE 3:  SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION AND EQUITY

Dividends On the basis of amounts declared and paid quarterly, the annualized dividends per share were $1.15, $1.14 and $1.12 
for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Share-Based Compensation Cost The Company recognizes costs resulting from all share-based payment transactions based on 
the fair market value of the award as of the grant date.  Awards are valued at fair value and compensation cost is recognized on a 
straight-line  basis  over  the  requisite  periods  of  each  award.   The  Company  estimated  forfeiture  rates  are  based  on  historical 
experience.  To cover the exercise and/or vesting of its share-based payments, the Company generally issues new shares from its 
authorized, unissued share pool.  The number of common shares that may be issued pursuant to the Amended and Restated 1991 
Equity and Performance Incentive Plan (as amended and restated as of April 13, 2009) (1991 Plan) was 5,848,474, of which 
2,348,784 shares were available for issuance at December 31, 2013.

EMPLOYEE SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION AWARDS

Stock options, RSUs, restricted shares and performance shares have been issued to officers and other management employees 
under the Company’s 1991 Plan.

Stock Options

Stock options generally vest over a four- or five-year period and have a maturity of ten years from the issuance date.  Option 
exercise prices equal the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the date of grant.  The estimated fair value of the 
options granted was calculated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:

Expected life (in years)
Weighted-average volatility
Risk-free interest rate
Expected dividend yield

The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise timing within the valuation model.  Employees with similar historical 
exercise  behavior  with  regard  to  timing  and  forfeiture  rates  are  considered  separately  for  valuation  and  attribution  purposes.  
Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the price of the Company’s common shares.  The risk-free rate of interest is 
based on a zero-coupon U.S. government instrument over the expected life of the equity instrument.  The expected dividend yield 
is based on actual dividends paid per share and the price of the Company’s common shares.   

Options outstanding and exercisable as of December 31, 2013 and changes during the year ended were as follows:

Restricted Stock Units

Each RSU provides for the issuance of one common share of the Company at no cost to the holder and generally vests after three 
to seven years.  During the vesting period, employees are paid the cash equivalent of dividends on RSUs.  Non-vested RSUs are

Performance Shares

Performance shares are granted based on certain management objectives, as determined by the Board of Directors each year.  Each 
performance share earned entitles the holder to one common share of the Company.  The performance share objectives are generally 
calculated over a three-year period and no shares are granted unless certain management threshold objectives are met.

NON-EMPLOYEE SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION AWARDS

Director Deferred Shares

Deferred shares have been issued to non-employee directors under the 1991 Plan.  Deferred shares provide for the issuance of one 
common share of the Company at no cost to the holder.  Deferred shares vest in either a six- or twelve-month period and are issued 
at the end of the deferral period.  During the vesting period and until the common shares are issued, non-employee directors are 
paid the cash equivalent of dividends on deferred shares.

Other Non-employee Share-Based Compensation

In connection with the acquisition of Diebold Colombia, S.A., in December 2005, the Company issued warrants to purchase 35 
thousand common shares with an exercise price of $46.00 per share and grant-date fair value of $14.66 per share.  The grant-date 
fair value of the warrants was valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free 
interest rate of 4.45 percent, dividend yield of 1.63 percent, expected volatility of 30 percent, and contractual life of six years.  The 
warrants will expire in December 2016.

In addition to the income tax expense listed above for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, income tax expense 
(benefit) allocated directly to shareholders equity for the same periods was $67,351, $(8,909) and $(23,695), respectively.  Offsetting 
the income tax expense allocated directly to shareholders equity for the year ended December 31, 2013 was a benefit of $9,049  
related to current year movement in valuation allowance.  

Income tax expense attributable to (loss) income from continuing operations differed from the amounts computed by applying the 
U.S. federal income tax rate of 35 percent to pretax (loss) income from continuing operations.  The following table presents these 
differences for the years ended December 31:

Statutory tax (benefit) expense
Brazil nontaxable incentive

In the second quarter of 2013, the Company recorded a valuation allowance for the Brazil manufacturing subsidiary due to a change 
in circumstances including lower profitability in core operations, lower anticipated taxable income and an unfavorable business 
outlook.  The Company also changed its assertion regarding the indefinite reinvestment of foreign subsidiary earnings due primarily 
to forecasted cash needs within the United States and strategic decisions related to the Company’s capital structure. As a result, 
the Company recorded current and deferred tax expense (net of related foreign tax credits) due to the repatriation of earnings of 
approximately $55,000.  In 2011 The Company released a valuation allowance for the Brazil manufacturing subsidiary related to 
a change in circumstances including sustained profitability in core operations and a favorable outlook.

The Company recognizes the benefit of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in its tax returns in the consolidated financial 
statements when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by authorities.  Recognized tax 
positions are measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon settlement.
Details of the unrecognized tax benefits are as follows:

The entire amount of unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate.

The Company classifies interest expense and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes in the consolidated financial 
statements as income tax expense.  Consistent with the treatment of interest expense, the Company accrues interest income on 
overpayments  of  income  taxes  where  applicable  and  classifies  interest  income  as  a  reduction  of  income  tax  expense  in  the 
consolidated financial statements.  As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax 
benefits totaled approximately $5,805 and $4,043, respectively.

It is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change during the next 12 months.  The Company 
does  not  expect  those  changes  to  have  a  significant  impact  on  its  consolidated  financial  statements.   The  expected  timing  of 
payments cannot be determined with any degree of certainty.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company is under audit by the IRS for tax years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008. All 
federal tax years prior to 2004 are closed by statute.  The Company is subject to tax examination in various U.S. state jurisdictions 
for tax years 2003 to the present, as well as various foreign jurisdictions for tax years 2005 to the present.

of $26,481 that will expire between 2018 and 2023 and a general business credit carry forward resulting in a deferred tax asset of 
$8,011 that will expire between 2029 and 2033.

At December 31, 2012, the Company had domestic and international NOL carryforwards of $520,803, resulting in an NOL deferred 
tax asset of $74,528.  Of these NOL carryforwards, $407,827 expires at various times between 2013 and 2033 and $112,976 does 
not expire. At December 31, 2012, the Company had a domestic foreign tax credit carryforward resulting in a deferred tax asset 
of $24,263 that will expire between 2017 and 2020 and a general business credit carry forward resulting in a deferred tax asset of 
$780 that will expire between 2031 and 2032.

The Company has a valuation allowance to reflect the estimated amount of certain foreign and state deferred tax assets that, more 
likely than not, will not be realized. The net change in total valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 
was an increase of $34,835 and a decrease of $9,685, respectively. The 2013 increase in valuation allowance is primarily attributable 
to recording valuation allowances for Brazil and Italy deferred tax assets, partially offset by the release of a valuation allowance 
for Switzerland deferred tax assets. The 2012 reduction in valuation allowance is primarily attributable to the write off of deferred 
tax assets and corresponding valuation allowance for dissolved legal entities. The Company believes that net deferred tax assets 
are more likely than not to be realized due to income generated by future operations.

For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, provisions were made for foreign withholding taxes and estimated U.S. income 
taxes, less available tax credits, which may be incurred upon the remittance of certain undistributed earnings in foreign subsidiaries 
and foreign unconsolidated affiliates.  Provisions have not been made for income taxes on approximately $425,997 of undistributed 
earnings  at  December  31,  2013  in  foreign  subsidiaries  and  corporate  joint  ventures  that  are  deemed  permanently  reinvested.  
Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred income tax liabilities on these earnings is not practicable because such 
liability, if any, depends on certain circumstances existing if and when remittance occurs.  A deferred tax liability will be recognized 
if and when the Company no longer plans to permanently reinvest these undistributed earnings.

NOTE 5:  INVESTMENTS

The Company’s investments, primarily in Brazil, consist of certificates of deposit and U.S. dollar indexed bond funds that are 
classified as available-for-sale and stated at fair value based upon quoted market prices and net asset values, respectively.  Unrealized 
gains and losses are recorded in AOCI.  Realized gains and losses are recognized in investment income and are determined using 
the specific identification method.  Realized gains from the sale of securities for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 
were $3,987 and $4,523, respectively.  Proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale securities were $55,987 and $50,431 during 
the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Company has deferred compensation plans that enable certain employees to defer receipt of a portion of their cash, 401(k) or 
share-based compensation and non-employee directors to defer receipt of director fees at the participants’ discretion.  For deferred 
cash-based compensation, the Company established rabbi trusts (refer to note 12), which are recorded at fair value of the underlying 
securities within securities and other investments.  The related deferred compensation liability is recorded at fair value within other 
long-term  liabilities.  Realized  and  unrealized  gains  and  losses  on  marketable  securities  in  the  rabbi  trusts  are  recognized  in 
investment income.

NOTE 7:  ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

Trade Receivables The Company evaluates the collectability of trade receivables based on a percentage of sales related to historical 
loss experience.  The Company will also record periodic adjustments for known events such as specific customer circumstances 
and changes in the aging of accounts receivable balances.  After all efforts at collection have been unsuccessful, the account is 
deemed uncollectible and is written off.

Financing Receivables The Company evaluates the collectability of notes and finance lease receivables (collectively, financing 
receivables) on a customer-by-customer basis and evaluates specific customer circumstances, aging of invoices, credit risk changes 
and payment patterns and historical loss experience.  When the collectability is determined to be at risk based on the above criteria, 
the Company records the allowance for credit losses which represents the Company’s current exposure less estimated reimbursement 
from insurance claims.  After all efforts at collection have been unsuccessful, the account is deemed uncollectible and is written 
off.  

The following table summarizes the Company’s allowance for credit losses and amount of financing receivables evaluated for 
impairment:

The Company's allowance of $4,573 and $2,572 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, all resulted from 
individual  impairment  evaluation.   As  of  December 31,  2013,  finance  leases  and  notes  receivables  individually  evaluated  for 
impairment were $105,930 and $17,340, respectively.  As of December 31, 2012, finance leases and notes receivables individually 
evaluated for impairment were $78,181 and $12,855, respectively.  

The Company records interest income and any fees or costs related to financing receivables using the effective interest method 
over the term of the lease or loan.  The Company reviews the aging of its financing receivables to determine past due and delinquent 
accounts.  Credit quality is reviewed at inception and is re-evaluated as needed based on customer specific circumstances.  Receivable 
balances 60 days to 89 days past due are reviewed and may be placed on nonaccrual status based on customer-specific circumstances.  
Receivable balances are placed on nonaccrual status upon reaching greater than 89 days past due. Upon receipt of payment on 
nonaccrual financing receivables, interest income is recognized and accrual of interest is resumed once the account has been made 
current or the specific circumstances have been resolved.  

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the recorded investment in past-due finance lease receivables on nonaccrual status was 
$1,670 and $2,060, respectively, and there were no recorded investments in finance lease receivables past due 90 days or more 
and still accruing interest. The recorded investment in impaired notes receivable was $4,134 and $2,047 as of December 31, 
2013 and  2012, respectively, and was fully reserved as of December 31, 2013.

During 2013, 2012 and 2011, depreciation expense, computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related 
assets, was $50,151, $51,447 and $50,549, respectively. 

During 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded impairment charges of $2,017 and $7,835, respectively, related to its property, plant 
and equipment.  Impairment charges in 2012 related primarily to a portion of the Company's global enterprise resource planning 
(ERP) system.  Previously capitalized software and software-related costs were impaired due to changes in the ERP implementation 
plan related to configuration and design.

Goodwill  During the third quarter of  2013, the Company performed an other-than-annual assessment for its Brazil reporting unit 
based on a two-step impairment test as a result of a reduced earnings outlook for the Brazil business unit.  This was due to a 
deteriorating  macro-economic  outlook,  structural  changes  to  an  auction-based  purchasing  environment  and  new  competitors 
entering the market.  The Company concluded that the goodwill within the Brazil reporting unit was partially impaired and recorded 
a $70,000 pre-tax, non-cash goodwill impairment charge.  In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Brazil reporting unit was reviewed 
for impairment based on a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting 
unit is less than its carrying value.  In addition, the remaining reporting units were reviewed based on a two-step test.  These tests 
resulted in no additional impairment in any of the Company's reporting units.  The Company concluded the AP reporting unit had 
excess fair value of approximately $23,000 or eight percent when compared to its carrying amount.   The Domestic and Canada 
and LA reporting units had excess fair value greater than 100 percent when compared to their carrying amounts. 

In 2012, goodwill was reviewed for impairment based on a two-step test, which resulted in no impairment in any of the Company's 
reporting units. In 2011, the Company performed a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the 
fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value.  In the 2011 qualitative assessment, management concluded that the 
Company's reporting units were not at risk of failing step one and therefore the two-step impairment test was not performed.         

Other Assets Included in other assets are net capitalized computer software development costs of $40,235 and $49,513 as of 
December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  Amortization expense on capitalized software of $20,889, $18,833 and $18,742 was 
included in product cost of sales for 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Other long-term assets also consist of patents, trademarks 
and other intangible assets.  Where applicable, other assets are stated at cost and, if applicable, are amortized ratably over the 
relevant contract period or the estimated life of the assets.  Fees to renew or extend the term of the Company’s intangible assets 
are expensed when incurred. 

In August 2012, the Company acquired GAS Tecnologia (GAS), a Brazilian Internet banking, online payment and mobile banking
security company. At June 30, 2013, the Company finalized the purchase accounting with respect to opening balance sheet
valuations. Goodwill and amortizable intangible assets resulting from the acquisition were approximately $26,003 and $16,000, 
respectively.

Impairment of long-lived assets is recognized when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the 
asset may not be recoverable.  If the expected future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an 
impairment loss is recognized at that time to reduce the asset to the lower of its fair value or its net book value.  For the year ended 
December 31, 2011, the Company recorded other asset-related impairment charges within continuing operations of  $2,962.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had various short-term uncommitted lines of credit with borrowing limits of $106,809.  
The weighted-average interest rate on outstanding borrowings on the short-term uncommitted lines of credit as of December 31, 
2013 and 2012 was 3.24 percent and 2.81 percent, respectively.  The increase in the weighted-average interest rate is attributable 
to the change in mix of borrowings in foreign entities. Short-term uncommitted lines mature in less than one year.  The amount 
available under the short-term uncommitted lines at December 31, 2013 was $63,747.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had borrowing limits under its credit facility totaling $500,000, which expires June 2016.  
Under the terms of the credit facility agreement, the Company has the ability, subject to various approvals, to increase the borrowing 
limits by $250,000. Up to $50,000 of the revolving credit facility is available under a swing line subfacility. The weighted-average 
interest rate on outstanding credit facility borrowings as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 was 1.36 percent and 1.33 percent, 
respectively, which is variable based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR).  The amount available under the credit 
facility as of December 31, 2013 was $261,000.  The Company incurred $1,876 of fees related to its credit facility in 2011, which 
are amortized as a component of interest expense over the term of the facility.

In March 2006, the Company issued senior notes in an aggregate principal amount of $300,000 with a weighted-average fixed 
interest rate of 5.50 percent.  The Company entered into a derivative transaction to hedge interest rate risk on $200,000 of the 
senior notes, which was treated as a cash flow hedge. This reduced the effective interest rate from 5.50 percent  to 5.36 percent. 
The Company funded the repayment of  $75,000 of the senior notes at maturity in March 2013 using borrowings under its revolving 
credit facility. The maturity dates of the remaining senior notes are staggered, with $175,000 and $50,000  due in 2016 and 2018, 
respectively.

and $26,002, respectively.

In 1997, industrial development revenue bonds were issued on behalf of the Company.  The proceeds from the bond issuances 
were used to construct new manufacturing facilities in the United States.  The Company guaranteed the payments of principal and 
interest on the bonds by obtaining letters of credit.  The bonds were issued with a 20-year original term and are scheduled to mature 
in 2017.  Each industrial development revenue bond carries a variable interest rate, which is reset weekly by the remarketing

agents.  The weighted-average interest rate on the bonds was 0.36 percent and 0.49 percent as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, 
respectively.    Interest  expense  on  the  bonds  for  the  years  ended  December 31,  2013,  2012  and  2011  was  $96,  $88  and  $88, 
respectively.

The Company’s financing agreements contain various restrictive financial covenants, including net debt to capitalization and net 
interest coverage ratios.  As of December 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with the financial and other covenants in its 
debt agreements.  

NOTE 12:  BENEFIT PLANS

Qualified  Pension  Benefits  The  Company  has  pension  plans  covering  certain  U.S.  employees  that  have  been  closed  to  new 
participants since July 2003.  Plans that cover salaried employees provide pension benefits based on the employee’s compensation 
during the ten years before retirement.  The Company’s funding policy for salaried plans is to contribute annually based on actuarial 
projections and applicable regulations.  Plans covering hourly employees and union members generally provide benefits of stated 
amounts  for  each  year  of  service.   The  Company’s  funding  policy  for  hourly  plans  is  to  make  at  least  the  minimum  annual 
contributions required by applicable regulations.  Employees of the Company’s operations in countries outside of the United States 
participate to varying degrees in local pension plans, which in the aggregate are not significant.  

Supplemental Executive Retirement Benefits  The Company has non-qualified pension plans to provide supplemental retirement 
benefits to certain officers. Benefits are payable at retirement based upon a percentage of the participant’s compensation, as defined.  

During the first quarter of 2013, the Company recognized a curtailment loss of $1,159 within selling and administrative expense 
as a result of the termination of certain executives.

In July 2013, the Company's board of directors approved the freezing of certain pension and supplemental executive retirement 
plan (SERP) benefits effective as of December 31, 2013 for U.S.-based salaried employees.  The Company recognized the plan 
freeze  in  the  three-month  period  ended  September  30,  2013  as  a  curtailment,  since  it  eliminates  for  a  significant  number  of 
participants the accrual of defined benefits for all of their future services.  The impact of the curtailment includes the one-time 
accelerated recognition of outstanding unamortized pre-tax prior service cost of $809 within selling and administrative expense 
and a pre-tax reduction in AOCI of $52,462, attributable to the decrease in long-term pension liabilities.  This curtailment event 
triggered  a  re-measurement  for  the  affected  benefit  plans  as  of  July  31,  2013  using  a  discount  rate  of  5.06  percent.   The  re-
measurement resulted in a further reduction of long-term pension liabilities and AOCI (pre-tax) related to the actuarial gain occurring 
during the year of approximately $71,000.  

In connection with the voluntary early retirement program in the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company recorded distributions of 
$138,482 of pension plan assets, of which $15,817 are not anticipated to be paid to participants until 2014. Distributions were 
made via lump-sum payments out of plan assets to participants.  These distributions resulted in  a non-cash pension charge of 
$67,593 recognized in selling and administrative expense within the Company's statement of operations. The non-cash pension 
charge included a $8,704 curtailment loss, a $20,156 settlement loss and $38,733 in special termination benefits.  During the fourth 
quarter of 2012, $62,754 of pension plan assets were distributed to certain deferred terminated vested participants to settle certain 
salary plan liabilities, which resulted in $21,907 of additional pension expense recognized in selling and administrative expense 
within the Company's statement of operations. 

Other Benefits In addition to providing pension benefits, the Company provides post-retirement healthcare and life insurance 
benefits (referred to as other benefits) for certain retired employees.  Eligible employees may be entitled to these benefits based 
upon years of service with the Company, age at retirement and collective bargaining agreements.  Currently, the Company has 
made no commitments to increase these benefits for existing retirees or for employees who may become eligible for these benefits 
in the future.  Currently there are no plan assets and the Company funds the benefits as the claims are paid.  The post-retirement 
benefit obligation was determined by application of the terms of medical and life insurance plans together with relevant actuarial 
assumptions and healthcare cost trend rates.

The discount rate is determined by analyzing the average return of high-quality (i.e., AA-rated) fixed-income investments and the 
year-over-year comparison of certain widely used benchmark indices as of the measurement date.  The expected long-term rate 
of return on plan assets is primarily determined using the plan’s current asset allocation and its expected rates of return based on 
a geometric averaging over 20 years.  The Company also considers information provided by its investment consultant, a survey 
of other companies using a December 31 measurement date and the Company’s historical asset performance in determining the 
expected  long-term  rate  of  return.  The  rate  of  compensation  increase  assumptions  reflects  the  Company’s  long-term  actual 
experience and future and near-term outlook.

trends of 7.5 percent and 8.0 percent in 2014 and 2013, respectively, decreasing to an ultimate trend of 5.0 percent in 2019 for 
both medical and prescription drug benefits using the Society of Actuaries Long Term Trend Model with assumptions based on 
the 2008 Medicare Trustees’ projections.  Assumed healthcare cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported 
for the healthcare plans.

The Company has a pension investment policy designed to achieve an adequate funded status based on expected benefit payouts 
and to establish an asset allocation that will meet or exceed the return assumption while maintaining a prudent level of risk.  The 
plans' target asset allocation adjusts based on the plan's funded status.  As the funded status improves or declines, the debt security 
target allocation will increase and decrease, respectively.  The Company utilizes the services of an outside consultant in performing 
asset / liability modeling, setting appropriate asset allocation targets along with selecting and monitoring professional investment 
managers.  

The plan assets are invested in equity and fixed income securities, alternative assets and cash.  Within the equities asset class, the 
investment policy provides for investments in a broad range of publicly-traded securities including both domestic and international 
stocks diversified by value, growth and cap size.  Within the fixed income asset class, the investment policy provides for investments 
in a broad range of publicly-traded debt securities with a substantial portion allocated to a long duration strategy in order to partially 
offset interest rate risk relative to the plans’ liabilities.  The alternative asset class includes investments in diversified strategies 
with a stable and proven track record and low correlation to the U.S. stock market.

The following table summarizes the Company’s target mix for these asset classes in 2014, which are readjusted at least quarterly

Assets are categorized into a three level hierarchy based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to determine the fair value the 
assets (refer to note 18). 

Level 1 - Fair value of investments categorized as level 1 are determined based on period end closing prices in active markets.   
Mutual funds are valued at their net asset value (NAV) on the last day of the period.  

Level 2 - Fair value of investments categorized as level 2 are determined based on the latest available ask price or latest trade 
price if listed.  The fair value of unlisted securities is established by fund managers using the latest reported information for 
comparable securities and financial analysis.  If the manager believes the fund is not capable of immediately realizing the fair 
value otherwise determined, the manager has the discretion to determine an appropriate value.  Common collective trusts are 
valued at NAV on the last day of the period.  

Level 3 - Fair value of investments categorized as level 3 represent the plan’s interest in private equity, hedge and property 
funds. The fair value for these assets is determined based on the NAV as reported by the underlying investment managers.

Retirement Savings Plan The Company offers employee 401(k) savings plans (Savings Plans) to encourage eligible employees 
to save on a regular basis by payroll deductions.  Effective July 1, 2003, a new enhanced benefit to the Savings Plans was effective 
in lieu of participation in the pension plan for salaried employees. The following table represents the Company's basic match 
percentage on participant qualified contributions up to a percentage of their compensation:

$8,357 and $6,483 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Effective December 31, 2013, the salaried 
pension plan benefits were frozen and therefore all participants in the Savings Plan will receive equal Company basic match 
percentages beginning in January 2014.     

Deferred Compensation Plans The Company has deferred compensation plans that enable certain employees to defer receipt of 
a portion of their cash bonus, 401(k) or share-based compensation and non-employee directors to defer receipt of director fees at 
the participants’ discretion.  For deferred cash-based compensation and 401(k), the Company established rabbi trusts which are 
recorded at fair value of the underlying securities within securities and other investments.  The related deferred compensation 
liabilities are recorded at fair value within other long-term liabilities.  Realized and unrealized gains and losses on marketable 
securities  in  the  rabbi  trusts  are  recognized  in  investment  income  with  corresponding  changes  in  the  Company’s  deferred 
compensation obligation recorded as compensation cost within selling and administrative expense.

payments reflect only the minimum payments during the initial 12-month non-cancellable term. 

Under lease agreements that contain escalating rent provisions, lease expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease 
term.  Rental expense under all lease agreements amounted to $75,348, $74,849 and $73,801 for the years ended December 31, 
2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

NOTE 14:  GUARANTEES AND PRODUCT WARRANTIES

In 1997, industrial development revenue bonds were issued on behalf of the Company.  The Company guaranteed repayment of 
the bonds (refer to note 11) by obtaining letters of credit.  The carrying value of the bonds was $11,900 as of December 31, 2013 
and 2012. 

The Company provides its global operations guarantees and standby letters of credit through various financial institutions to 
suppliers, regulatory agencies and insurance providers.  If the Company is not able to make payment, the suppliers, regulatory 
agencies and insurance providers may draw on the pertinent bank.  At December 31, 2013, the maximum future payment obligations 
relative to these various guarantees totaled $87,104, of which $26,035 represented standby letters of credit to insurance providers, 
and no associated liability was recorded.  At December 31, 2012, the maximum future payment obligations relative to these various 
guarantees totaled $80,662, of which $23,435 represented standby letters of credit to insurance providers, and no associated liability 
was recorded. 

The Company provides its customers a standard manufacturer’s warranty and records, at the time of the sale, a corresponding 
estimated liability for potential warranty costs.  Estimated future obligations due to warranty claims are based upon historical 
factors such as labor rates, average repair time, travel time, number of service calls per machine and cost of replacement parts. 

Changes in the Company’s warranty liability balance are illustrated in the following table:

NOTE 15:  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Contractual Obligation

At December 31, 2013, the Company had purchase commitments due within one year totaling $17,355 for materials through 
contract manufacturing agreements at negotiated prices. The amounts purchased under these obligations totaled $8,586 in 2013.

Indirect Tax Contingencies

The Company accrues non income-tax liabilities for indirect tax matters when management believes that a loss is probable and
the amounts can be reasonably estimated, while contingent gains are recognized only when realized. In the event any losses are
sustained in excess of accruals, they are charged against income. In evaluating indirect tax matters, management takes into
consideration factors such as historical experience with matters of similar nature, specific facts and circumstances, and the likelihood 
of prevailing. Management evaluates and updates accruals as matters progress over time. It is reasonably possible that some of 
the matters for which accruals have not been established could be decided unfavorably to the Company and could require recognizing 
future expenditures. Also, statutes of limitations could expire without the Company paying the taxes for matters for which accruals 
have been established which could result in the recognition of future gains upon reversal of these accruals at that time. 

At December 31, 2013, the Company was a party to several indirect tax claims from various taxing authorities globally that were 
incurred in the normal course of business, none of which individually or in the aggregate is considered material by management 
in  relation  to  the  Company’s  financial  position  or  results  of  operations.  In  management’s  opinion,  the  consolidated  financial 
statements would not be materially affected by the outcome of these indirect tax claims and/or proceedings or asserted claims. 

In addition to these routine indirect tax matters, the Company was a party to the proceeding described below:

In August 2012, one of the Company's Brazilian subsidiaries was notified of a tax assessment of approximately $133,000, including 
penalties and interest, regarding certain Brazilian federal indirect taxes (Industrialized Products Tax, Import Tax, Programa de 
Integração Social and Contribution to Social Security Financing) for 2008 and 2009.  The assessment alleges improper importation 
of certain components into the country's free trade zone that would nullify certain indirect tax incentives.  On September 10, 2012, 
the Company filed its administrative defenses with the tax authorities.  This proceeding is currently pending an administrative 
level decision, which could negatively impact Brazilian federal indirect taxes in other years that remain open under statute.  It is 
reasonably possible that the Company could be required to pay taxes, penalties and interest related to this matter, which could be 
material  to  the  Company's  consolidated  financial  statements. Additionally,  in  May  2013,  the  U.S.  Securities  and  Exchange 
Commission (SEC) requested that the Company retain certain documents and produce certain records relating to the assessment, 
and the Company is complying with that request.  

In response to an order by the administrative court, the tax inspector provided further analysis with respect to the tax inspector’s 
initial  assessment  in  December  2013  that,  if  accepted  by  the  administrative  court,  could  indicate  a  potential  exposure  that  is 
significantly lower than the initial tax assessment received in August 2012.  However, this further analysis is not binding upon the 
administrative court and is subject to administrative court approval.  Additionally, any decision by the administrative court is 
subject to automatic appeal.  Accordingly, the Company cannot provide any assurance that its exposure pursuant to the initial 
assessment will be lowered significantly or at all.  The Company has filed additional administrative defenses in response to the 
tax inspector’s further analysis

At December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had an accrual of approximately $26,000 for certain indirect tax
positions in both periods. A loss contingency is reasonably possible if it has a more than remote but less than probable chance of
occurring. Although management believes the Company has valid defenses with respect to its indirect tax positions, it is reasonably 
possible  that  a  loss  could  occur  in  excess  of  the  estimated  accrual,  for  which  the  Company  estimated  the  aggregate  risk  at 
December 31, 2013 to be up to approximately $395,000 for its material indirect tax matters, which amounts includes the tax 
assessment discussed above. The aggregate risk related to indirect taxes will decrease on an annual basis as the applicable statutes 
of limitations expire.

Legal Contingencies

At December 31, 2013, the Company was a party to several lawsuits that were incurred in the normal course of business, none
of which individually or in the aggregate is considered material by management in relation to the Company’s financial position
or results of operations. In addition, the Company has indemnification obligations with certain former employees and costs

78

DIEBOLD INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

associated with these indemnifications are expensed as incurred. In management’s opinion, the Company's consolidated financial 
statements would not be materially affected by the outcome of these legal proceedings, commitments or asserted claims. In addition 
to these routine legal proceedings, the Company was a party to the legal proceedings described below as of December 31, 2013:

Securities Action
On June 30, 2010, a shareholder filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District 
of Ohio alleging violations of the federal securities laws against the Company, certain current and former officers, and the Company's 
independent auditors (Louisiana Municipal Police Employees Retirement System v. KPMG et al., No. 10-CV-1461). The complaint 
sought unspecified compensatory damages on behalf of a class of persons who purchased the Company's stock between June 30, 
2005 and January 15, 2008 and fees and expenses related to the lawsuit. The complaint generally relates to the matters set forth 
in the court documents filed by the SEC in June 2010 finalizing the settlement of civil charges stemming from the investigation 
of the Company conducted by the Division of Enforcement of the SEC. In the second quarter 2013, the Company recorded a 
$30,000 pre-tax charge within selling and administrative expense related to an agreement in principle to settle this matter and an 
offsetting $12,755 pre-tax credit within selling and  administrative expense related to the Company's  insurance recovery.  On 
November 14, 2013, the court entered an order preliminarily approving the parties’ stipulated settlement agreement; however, the 
settlement was subject to notice to the putative class and final approval by the court.  In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company 
and insurance companies paid their respective settlement amounts into an escrow fund in accordance with the terms of the settlement 
agreement.

Global Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) Review 

During the second quarter of 2010, while conducting due diligence in connection with a potential acquisition in Russia, the Company 
identified certain transactions and payments by its subsidiary in Russia (primarily during 2005 to 2008) that potentially implicated 
the FCPA, particularly its books and records provisions. The Company conducted a global internal review and collected information 
related to its global FCPA compliance. In the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company identified certain transactions within its AP 
operation that occurred over the past several years that also potentially implicated the FCPA. The Company continues to monitor 
its ongoing global compliance with the FCPA.

The Company voluntarily self-reported its findings to the SEC and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and cooperated with 
these agencies in their review. The Company was previously informed that the SEC's inquiry had been converted to a formal, non-
public investigation. The Company reached an agreement with the DOJ and the SEC to the terms of a settlement of their inquiries, 
which terms were filed in federal court on October 22, 2013.  These terms include combined payments to the U.S. government of 
$48,000 in disgorgement, penalties, and pre-judgment interest and the appointment of an independent compliance monitor for a 
minimum period of 18 months.  The Company recorded a $28,000 pre-tax charge in the second quarter of 2013 within selling and 
administrative expense for additional estimated losses related to this matter. As of December 31, 2012, the accrual for estimated 
losses was $20,000.  The Company remitted the combined payments to the U.S. government in November 2013.

NOTE 16:  DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company uses derivatives to mitigate the economic consequences associated with the fluctuations in currencies and interest 
rates.  The Company records all derivative instruments on the balance sheet at fair value and the changes in the fair value are 
recognized in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met.  Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows derivative 
gains and losses to be reflected in the statement of operations or AOCI together with the hedged exposure, and requires that the 
Company formally document, designate and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting treatment. 

Gains or losses associated with ineffectiveness are reported currently in earnings.  The Company does not enter into any speculative 
positions with regard to derivative instruments.

The Company periodically evaluates its monetary asset and liability positions denominated in foreign currencies.  The impact of 
the Company's and the counterparties’ credit risk on the fair value of the contracts is considered as well as the ability of each party 
to execute its obligations under the contract.  The Company generally uses investment grade financial counterparties in these 
transactions and believes that the resulting credit risk under these hedging strategies is not significant.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE

Net Investment Hedges The Company has international subsidiaries with net balance sheet positions that generate cumulative 
translation adjustments within AOCI.  The Company uses derivatives to manage potential changes in value of its net investments 
in Brazil.  The Company uses the forward-to-forward method for its quarterly retrospective and prospective assessments of hedge 
effectiveness.  No ineffectiveness results if the notional amount of the derivative matches the portion of the net investment designated 
as being hedged because the Company uses derivative instruments with underlying exchange rates consistent with its functional 
currency and the functional currency of the hedged net investment.  Changes in value that are deemed effective are in AOCI until 
complete liquidation of the subsidiary, when they would be reclassified to income together with the gain or loss on the entire 
investment.  The fair value of the Company’s net investment hedge contracts was $313  and $0 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, 
respectively.    The  gain  recognized  in AOCI  on  net  investment  hedge  contracts  was  $4,563  and  $3,021  for  the  years  ended 
December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. 

Non-Designated Hedges A substantial portion of the Company’s operations and revenues are international.  As a result, changes 
in foreign exchange rates can create substantial foreign exchange gains and losses from the revaluation of non-functional currency 
monetary assets and liabilities.  The Company’s policy allows the use of foreign exchange forward contracts with maturities of up 
to 24 months to mitigate the impact of currency fluctuations on those foreign currency asset and liability balances.  The Company 
elected not to apply hedge accounting to its foreign exchange forward contracts.  Thus, spot-based gains/losses offset revaluation 
gains/losses within foreign exchange loss, net and forward-based gains/losses represent interest expense.  The fair value of the 
Company’s non-designated foreign exchange forward contracts was $705 and $47 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. 

The following table summarizes the loss recognized on non-designated foreign exchange derivative instruments for the years ended

Cash Flow Hedges The Company has variable rate debt and is subject to fluctuations in interest related cash flows due to changes 
in market interest rates.  The Company’s policy allows derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges that fix a portion of 
future variable-rate interest expense.  As of December 31, 2013, the Company has two pay-fixed receive-variable interest rate 
swaps, with a notional amount totaling $50,000, to hedge against changes in the LIBOR benchmark interest rate on a portion of 
the Company’s LIBOR-based borrowings.  Changes in value that are deemed effective are accumulated in AOCI and reclassified 
to interest expense when the hedged interest is accrued.  To the extent that it becomes probable that the Company’s variable rate 
borrowings will not occur, the gains or losses on the related cash flow hedges will be reclassified from AOCI to interest expense.   
The fair value of the Company’s interest rate contracts was $(2,351) and $(3,558) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. 

In December 2005 and January 2006, the Company executed cash flow hedges by entering into receive-variable and pay-fixed 
interest  rate  swaps,  with  a  total  notional  amount  of  $200,000,  related  to  the  senior  notes  issuance  in  March  2006.   Amounts 
previously recorded in AOCI related to the pre-issuance cash flow hedges will continue to be reclassified to income on a straight-
line basis through February 2016.

The gain recognized on designated cash flow hedge derivative instruments for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were 
$1,181 and $240, respectively.  Gains and losses related to interest rate contracts are reclassified from AOCI are recorded in interest 
expense on the statement of operations.  The Company anticipates reclassifying $946 from other comprehensive income to interest 
expense within the next 12 months.

During the first quarter of 2013, the Company announced a multi-year realignment plan. Certain aspects of this plan were previously 
disclosed under the Company's global realignment plan and global shared services plan. This multi-year realignment focuses on 
globalizing the Company's service organization and creating a unified center-led global organization for research and development, 
as well as transform the Company's general and administrative cost structure. Restructuring charges of $57,015 and $15,241 for 
the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to the Company’s multi-year realignment plan.  Restructuring 
charges of $31,282 in 2013 related to severance as part of the the voluntary early retirement program elected by approximately 
800 participants. Also included were charges related to realignment of resources and certain international facilities to better support 
opportunities in target markets and leverage software-led services technology to support customers in efforts to optimize overall 
operational performance. As of December 31, 2013, the Company anticipates additional restructuring costs of $13,000 to $16,000 
to be incurred through the end of 2014, primarily within NA and EMEA.  As management finalizes certain aspects of the realignment 
plan, the anticipated future costs related to this plan are subject to change. As of December 31, 2013, cumulative total restructuring 
costs for the multi-year realignment plan were $60,152, $2,559, $4,884, $452 and $7,698 in NA, AP, EMEA, LA and  Brazil, 
respectively.

Restructuring charges of $19,450 for the year ended December 31, 2011 related to the Company’s plan for the EMEA reorganization, 
which realigned resources and further leveraged the existing shared services center.  Total cumulative restructuring costs for the 
EMEA reorganization were $19,450. Other net restructuring  charges were $6,732 for the year ended December 31,  2011, which 
related primarily to realignment in North American operations and reductions in the Company’s global workforce.

Other charges consist of items that the Company has determined are non-routine in nature and are not expected to recur in future 
operations.  Net non-routine expenses of $127,931, $42,133 and $16,479 impacted the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 
2011, respectively.  

Net, non-routine expenses for year ended December 31, 2013 included a $67,593 non-cash pension charge (refer to note 12), 
additional losses of $28,000 related to the settlement of the FCPA investigation, $17,245 related to settlement of the securities 
class action (refer to note 15), and $9,300 for executive severance costs.  These non-routine charges were recorded within selling 
and administrative expense. 

Net non-routine expenses for 2012 included $21,907 related to early pension buy-out payments made to certain deferred terminated 
vested participants (refer to note 12) and estimated losses of $16,750 related to the FCPA investigation and were recorded within 
selling and administrative expense. 

The non-routine expenses in 2011 pertained to legal, consultative and audit costs related to the global FCPA investigation as well 
as estimated losses of $3,250 related to this matter recorded within selling and administrative expense. 

NOTE 18:  FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities using one or more of the following three valuation techniques:

Market approach — Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable 
assets or liabilities.

Cost approach — Amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).

Income approach — Techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based upon market expectations.

The hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value is divided into three levels:

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical 
or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are 
observable either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data.

The Company uses the end of period when determining the timing of transfers between levels. During the year ended December 31, 
2013 and 2012, there were no transfers between levels.

Short-Term Investments The Company has investments in certificates of deposit that are recorded at cost, which approximates 
fair value.  Additionally, the Company has investments in U.S. dollar indexed bond funds that are classified as available-for-sale 
and stated at fair value. U.S. dollar indexed bond funds are reported at net asset value, which is the practical expedient for fair 
value as determined by banks where funds are held.

Assets Held in Rabbi Trusts / Deferred Compensation The fair value of the assets held in rabbi trusts (refer to notes 5 and 12) is 
derived from investments in a mix of money market, fixed income and equity funds managed by Bank of America/Merill Lynch.  
The related deferred compensation liability is recorded at fair value.

Foreign Exchange Forward Contracts A substantial portion of the Company’s operations and revenues are international.  As a 
result, changes in foreign exchange rates can create substantial foreign exchange gains and losses from the revaluation of non-
functional currency monetary assets and liabilities.  The foreign exchange contracts are valued using the market approach based 
on observable market transactions of forward rates.

Interest Rate Swaps The Company has variable rate debt and is subject to fluctuations in interest related cash flows due to changes 
in market interest rates.  The Company’s policy allows it to periodically enter into derivative instruments designated as cash flow 
hedges to fix some portion of future variable rate based interest expense.  The Company executed two pay-fixed receive-variable 
interest rate swaps to hedge against changes in the LIBOR benchmark interest rate on a portion of the Company’s LIBOR-based 
borrowings.  The fair value of the swap is determined using the income approach and is calculated based on LIBOR rates at the 
reporting date.

Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

In addition to assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company also measures certain assets 
and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Our non-financial assets, including goodwill, intangible assets and property, 
plant and equipment, are measured at fair value when there is an indication of impairment. These assets are recorded at fair value,

determined using level 3 inputs, only when an impairment charge is recognized. Further details regarding the Company's goodwill 
other-than-annual-impairment review appears in note 10.

Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Carrying Value

The fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and accounts payable, approximates the carrying 
value due to the relative short maturity of these instruments.  The fair value and carrying value of the Company’s debt instruments 
are summarized as follows:

The fair value of the Company’s industrial development revenue bonds are measured using unadjusted quoted prices in active 
markets for identical assets categorized as level 1 inputs.  The fair value of the Company’s current notes payable and credit facility 
debt  instruments  approximates  the  carrying  value  due  to  the  relative  short  maturity  of  the  revolving  borrowings  under  these 
instruments.  The fair values of the Company’s long-term senior notes were estimated using market observable inputs for the 
Company’s  comparable  peers  with  public  debt,  including  quoted  prices  in  active  markets,  market  indices  and  interest  rate 
measurements, considered level 2 inputs.

NOTE 19:  SEGMENT INFORMATION

In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company began managing its business on a regional geographic basis, changing from the previous 
model, which was a more condensed geographic basis.  In order to align the Company's external reporting of its financial results 
with this change, the Company has modified its segment reporting.  The Company now reports the following five segments: NA, 
AP, EMEA, LA and Brazil. The Company’s chief operating decision maker regularly assesses information relating to these segments 
to make decisions, including the allocation of resources.  Management evaluates the performance of the segments based on revenue 
and operating profit. Prior years have been restated to reflect the new segment presentation.

The five geographic segments sell and service financial self-service and security systems around the globe, as well as election and 
lottery solutions in Brazil, through wholly-owned subsidiaries, majority-owned joint ventures and independent distributors in most 
major countries. Each segment buys the goods it sells from the Company’s manufacturing plants or through external suppliers.  
Each year, intercompany pricing is agreed upon which drives operating profit contribution.

ITEM 9: CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL 
DISCLOSURE

Not applicable. 

ITEM 9A: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

This annual report on Form 10-K includes the certifications of our principal executive officer (PEO) and principal financial officer 
(PFO) required by Rule 13a-14 of the Exchange Act.  See Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2.  This Item 9A includes information concerning 
the controls and control evaluations referred to in those certifications.

(a)   DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) are designed 
to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, 
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated 
and communicated to management, including the PEO and PFO as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required 
disclosures.

In connection with the preparation of this annual report on Form 10-K, Diebold's management, under the supervision and with 
the participation of the PEO and PFO, conducted an evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period 
covered by this report.  Based on this evaluation, the PEO and PFO have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures 
were not effective as of December 31, 2013 because of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting 
discussed below.

(b)   MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Management, under the supervision of the PEO and PFO, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control 
over financial reporting.  Internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under 
the Exchange Act, is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the PEO and PFO and effected by the Board of Directors, 
management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation 
of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United 
States of America (U.S. GAAP).  Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

•  pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions 

of the assets of the Company;

•  provide  reasonable  assurance  that  transactions  are  recorded  as  necessary  to  permit  preparation  of  financial  statements  in 

accordance with U.S. GAAP;

•  provide reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with appropriate 

authorization of management and the Board of Directors; and

•  provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the 

Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because  of  its  inherent  limitations,  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  may  not  prevent  or  detect  misstatements.   Also, 
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because 
of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.  

A material weakness in internal control over financial reporting is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control 
over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim 
financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

In connection with the preparation of this annual report on Form 10-K, management, under the supervision and with the participation 
of the PEO and PFO, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 
2013, based on criteria established in, Internal Control-Integrated Framework (1992), established by the Committee of Sponsoring 
Organizations  of  the Treadway  Commission  (COSO).    Because  of  the  following  control  deficiencies  that  constitute  material 

88

weaknesses, the PEO and PFO concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as 
of December 31, 2013.

In the process of its assessment, the Company identified certain material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting: 

Controls over Brazil Indirect Taxes and Communication:  The Company concluded that controls pertaining to manufacturing and 
supply chain processes that could materially impact indirect tax incentives in its Brazilian subsidiary and roles and responsibilities 
within this Brazilian subsidiary pertaining to the operation of these controls, including reporting relationships for division tax and 
accounting associates to applicable corporate management with respect to the management of the indirect tax compliance program 
were not designed and/or operating effectively.   Furthermore, controls designed to ensure adequate and effective communication 
by operational management to regional and corporate management were not operating effectively.

India System Adoption and Account Reconciliation Process:  The Company concluded that controls pertaining to the reconciliation 
process that could materially impact financial reporting in its Indian subsidiary were not operating effectively because of the lack 
of full adoption of revised processes necessitated by a newly implemented enterprise resource planning system.  

Because of the material weaknesses identified above, a reasonable possibility exists that a material misstatement in the Company's 
consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

KPMG  LLP,  the  Company's  independent  registered  public  accounting  firm,  has  issued  an  auditor's  report  on  management's 
assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013.  This report 
is included in Item 8 of this annual report on Form 10-K.

(c)   CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

During the quarter ended December 31, 2013 there were no changes, other than the above India System Adoption and Account 
Reconciliation Process material weakness, to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, 
or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  

(d)   REMEDIATION STEPS TO ADDRESS MATERIAL WEAKNESS

The remediation efforts outlined below are intended to address the identified material weakness in internal control over financial 
reporting.

Controls  over  Brazil  Indirect  Taxes  and  Communication:  To  address  the  material  weakness  discussed  above,  management 
completed an evaluation to facilitate development of detailed remediation plans pertaining to: (a) design and operating effectiveness 
of control procedures pertaining to manufacturing and supply chain processes that could materially impact indirect tax incentives 
in its Brazilian subsidiary; (b) roles and responsibilities within its Brazilian subsidiary, including the reporting structure, with 
respect to the indirect tax compliance program; and (c) communication by operational management to regional and corporate 
management. 

During  the  quarter  ended  December  31,  2013,  the  Company  continued  implementing  control  procedures  pertaining  to 
manufacturing and supply chain processes that impact indirect tax incentives in its Brazilian subsidiary. In addition, the Company 
continued the fulfillment of related roles and responsibilities in the indirect tax compliance organization structure. These activities 
are planned to continue into 2014.

India System Adoption and Account Reconciliation Process: To address the material weakness related to the system adoption and 
weakness in the account reconciliation process in India, management plans to:

•  Conduct a review of account reconciliation processes to align those processes with system functionality to reduce the 

risk of future errors.

•  Conduct  additional  focused  training  on  the  Company’s  account  reconciliation  policies  and  procedures  to  reinforce 

discipline and improve operating effectiveness.

There is no assurance that these efforts will remediate the material weaknesses and that additional remediation efforts might not 
be  necessary.   At  this  time,  the  Company  anticipates  the  remediation  efforts  related  to  the  material  weaknesses  will  be  fully 
implemented by the end of 2014.
