and improving our growth trajectory for the years 

ahead. Our greater scale, strength and flexibility 

give us new opportunities to help our customers 

better serve consumers around the globe and 

deliver the kind of innovation our customers need 

to compete in a dramatically changing landscape.

Customers have applauded the combination, as 

our complementary geographic presence gives 

us closer proximity to wherever they operate 

around the world. We are now a market leader 

in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), as 

well as the Americas, and have a stronger position 

in Asia. Also, our combination doubles our global 

installed base of automated teller machines (ATMs) 

to approximately 1 million, making us the world’s 

largest provider of ATMs.

We believe that services and software drive the 

consumer experience. Our job is to help banks 

and retailers manage the innovation trends driving 

their business models – namely, digitalization, 

automation, miniaturization and individualization – 

to meet the new ways consumers are shopping and 

connecting with their money. 

Our customer collaborations in 2016 provide great 

initial examples of our collective capability. For 

example, in October we launched an advanced 

analytics platform that provides a near real-time 

view of the self-service channel – using predictive 

maintenance to anticipate ATM service needs and 

improve availability. The platform also aggregates 

data from the self-service device and the financial 

institution’s other channels, creating a 360-degree 

view of the user experience across all channels  

to analyze the effectiveness of marketing and 

branch transformation initiatives in the future.  

We are piloting this solution with Banco Popular, 

the largest bank in Puerto Rico, and a regional  

bank in the United States. Their use of our 

advanced analytics capabilities is just one proof 

point that demonstrates how we can solve 

real business needs for our customers through 

collaborative innovation.

Other customer collaborations are also bringing 

innovative solutions to the market. Raiffeisen 

Bank Group, Austria’s largest financial institution, 

turned to us for 1,200 new ATMs with advanced 

bill payment and contactless functionality – 

another example of our established leadership 

in mobile, cardless technology at the self-service 

device. In addition, Cuscal Limited, Australia’s 

consumers as they approach an ATM or branch 

lobby, enabling them to proactively tailor personal 

marketing offers based on data such as the 

consumer’s preferences and financial needs. 

With smart technologies such as beacons, our 

customers are able to provide more data-driven 

and customized experiences. 

In retail, Pepco, a growing Eastern European 

nonfood discounter, is piloting our TP Application 

Suite – an omnichannel platform that integrates 

all point-of-sale (POS) related online and office 

touchpoints – in stores in Poland to enable 

consumers to shop seamlessly across all channels. 

In a collaboration with Cybera, an IT leader in 

software-defined wide area networks, we are 

providing fuel service stations with the ability to 

securely connect store-based payment systems

ITEM 1: BUSINESS 
(dollars in millions)

GENERAL

Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated (collectively with its subsidiaries, the Company) provides connected commerce services, software 
and technology to enable millions of transactions each day. The Company’s approximately 25,000 employees design and deliver 
convenient, “always on” and highly secure solutions that bridge the physical and the digital worlds of transactions. Customers of 
the Company include nearly all of the world’s top 100 financial institutions and a majority of the top 25 global retailers.

In 2016, the Company changed its name from Diebold to Diebold Nixdorf, following the transformational acquisition of Wincor 
Nixdorf  Aktiengesellschaft  (now  known  as  Diebold  Nixdorf  AG).  As  a  result of  the  acquisition,  the  Company  has  significantly 
increased its presence around the world and now conducts business in more than 130 countries. The Company was founded in 
1859 and is incorporated under the laws of the state of Ohio.

Strategy

The Company’s Connected Commerce strategy seeks to continually enhance the customer experience at banking or retail locations 
by integrating services, software and systems. This requires ongoing investment and development of our industry-leading field 
services organization as well as the development and integration of innovative technology including cloud computing technology, 
sensors and connectivity to the Internet of Things, as well as open and agile software. The Company will continuously refine its 
R&D spend in support of a better transaction experience for consumers

Multi-Year Integration Program

The Company is executing a multi-year integration program designed to optimize the assets, business processes, and IT systems 
of Diebold Nixdorf. This program, in aggregate, has identified an opportunity to realize approximately $160 of cost synergies over 
three years. These cost synergies include:

•
•
•
•
•
•

Realizing volume discounts on direct materials
Harmonizing the solutions set
Increasing utilization rates of the service technicians
Rationalizing facilities in the regions
Streamlining corporate and general and administrative functions
Harmonizing back office solutions.

The Company has and will continue to invest significant dollars to restructure the workforce, optimize legacy systems, streamline 
legal  entities  and  consolidate  real estate  holdings.  By  executing  these  integration  activities,  the  Company  expects  to  deliver 
greater innovation for customers, career enrichment opportunities for employees, and enhanced value for shareholders. 

SERVICE AND PRODUCT SOLUTIONS

Financial Self-Service

The Company is a leader in providing connected commerce solutions to financial institutions. These solutions are supported by 
a  dedicated  field  service  organization.  The  combination  of  high  reliability,  industry-leading  security,  remote  management 
capabilities and highly-trained field technicians has made the Company a preferred choice for financial self-service (FSS) solutions. 
Through managed services, banks entrust the management of their automated teller machine (ATM) and security operations to 
the Company, allowing their associates to focus on core competencies. Furthermore, the Company’s managed services deliver 
greater operational efficiencies and provide financial institutions with a leading-edge solutions that they need to stay competitive 
in the marketplace.

A significant demand driver in the global ATM marketplace is branch automation, which helps financial institutions grow revenue, 
reduce costs, and increase convenience and security for the banks’ customers by migrating routine transactions, typically done 
inside the branch, to lower-cost automated channels. The Company serves as a strategic partner to its customers by offering a 
complete branch automation solution - services, software and technology - that addresses the complete value chain of consult, 
design, build and operate. The Company’s advisory services team collaborates with its clients to help define the ideal customer 
experience, modify processes, refine existing staffing models and deploy technology to meet branch automation objectives. The 
in-lobby teller terminal provides branch automation technology by combining the speed and accuracy of a self-service terminal 
with intelligence from the bank’s core systems, as well as the ability to complete higher value transactions away from the teller 
line.

The Company also offers hardware-agnostic, omni-channel software solutions for ATMs and a host of other self-service applications. 
These  offerings  include  highly  configurable,  enterprise-wide  software  that  automates  and  migrates  financial  services  across 
channels, changing the way financial products are delivered to consumers.

The Company continues to invest in supporting current and developing new services, software and security solutions that align 
with the needs of its customers. At recent trade shows, the Company showcased several new FSS concepts. The Company is 
piloting advanced analytics capabilities with Banco Popular that enable financial institutions to have a complete view of the self-
service channel and improve ATM availability by anticipating maintenance needs. Additionally, the Company introduced the new 
Extreme ATM™ concept - the smallest ATM ever developed - which utilizes a cardless Bluetooth-enabled mobile interface.

The Company offers an integrated line of self-service solutions and technology, including comprehensive ATM outsourcing, ATM 
security, deposit automation, recycling, payment terminals and software. The Company also offers advanced functionality terminals 
capable  of  supporting  mobile  cardless transactions  and  two-way  video  technology  to  enhance  bank  branch  automation.  The 
Company is a global supplier of ATMs and related services and holds a leading market position in many countries around the 
world.

Financial Self-Service Support & Maintenance. From analysis and consulting to monitoring and repair, the Company provides 
value and support to its customers every step of the way. Services include installation and ongoing maintenance of our products, 
availability management, branch automation and distribution channel consulting. Additionally, service revenue includes services 
and parts the Company provides on a billed work basis that are not covered by warranty or service contract.

Value-added Services.

• Managed Services and Outsourcing - The Company provides end-to-end managed services and full outsourcing solutions,
which  include  remote  monitoring,  troubleshooting  for  self-service  customers,  transaction  processing,  currency
management, maintenance services and full support via person-to-person or online communication. This helps customers
maximize  their  self-service  channel  by  incorporating  new  technology,  meeting  compliance  and  regulatory  mandates,
protecting their institutions and reducing costs, all while ensuring a high level of service for their customers. The Company
provides value to its customers by offering a comprehensive array of hardware-agnostic managed services and support.
Professional  Services  -  The  Company’s service  organization  provides  strategic  analysis  and  planning  of  new  systems,

software and technology — of a successful self-service implementation. The Company’s advisory services team collaborates
with our customers to help define the ideal experience, modify processes, refine existing staffing models and deploy
technology to meet branch automation objectives.

•

• Multi-vendor Services - The Company recently sharpened its focus on securing multi-vendor services contracts primarily
in North America. With the prevalence of mixed ATM fleets at financial institutions, the ability to service competitive units
allows the Company to offer a differentiated, full service solution to its customers.

Financial  Self-Service  Software.  The  Company  offers  integrated,  multi-vendor  ATM software  solutions  designed  to  meet  the 
evolving demands of a customer’s self-service network. There are five primary types of self-service software that the Company 
provides for customers, which include 1) terminal application software, 2) automation technology software, 3) operational software, 
4) marketing software and 5) security. Terminal application software provides the ability to integrate seamlessly into traditional
and multi-vendor environments while providing advanced service options to bring new functions quicker to market and improve
the customer experience while providing the financial institution the ability to host this centrally or distribute the software at its
terminals. Automation technology software enables the self-service platform to transform into a robust enterprise banking solution
that can connect seamlessly to other banking channels and systems for a consistent user experience, advanced functionality and
greater operational efficiencies. Operational software provides centralized management of the entire self-service fleet, providing
better intelligence and operations for improved efficiencies and cost control using data analytics. Marketing software allows financial
institutions to provide personalized interaction with the consumer through the self-service channel, enhancing customer satisfaction
and revenue generation. All software has enhanced security functions built-in for providing financial institutions the flexibility and
enhanced consumer experience while ensuring that they are the trusted partners in the eco-system.

Financial  Self-Service  Solutions.  The  Company  offers  a  wide  variety  of  self-service  solutions,  including  a  full  range  of  teller 
automation terminals as well as ATMs capable of cash dispensing and a number of more advanced functionalities, including check 
and cash deposit automation, cash recycling, mobile capabilities and two-way video. 

The  Company  offers  a  suite  of  next-generation  self-service  terminals  (Diebold  Series),  which  offer  a  wide  range  of  available 
capabilities and give the Company the most modern fleet of ATMs in the market. The Diebold Series terminal consists of three 
new lines of ATMs — standard market, extended branch and high-performance. Each line is designed to meet specific market 
and branch needs: (1) the standard line is ideal for high-growth areas with mass-market applications; (2) the extended branch line 
offers rich transaction sets and advanced functionalities; and (3) the high-performance line offers highly personalized self-service 
experiences that are ideal for high-traffic, high-volume environments. This self-service platform, paired with the Company's industry-
leading services and software, provide a complete end-to-end solution for financial institutions.

The Company remains committed to collaborative innovation with its customers. In 2015, the Company introduced two new self-
service concepts, Irving and Janus. Irving utilizes a number of different consumer recognition technologies and a secure mobile 
phone application to execute cardless transactions. The Company is a leader in self-service biometrics and the Irving concept 
leverages these capabilities with iris-scanning ATM technology that is being piloted by one of the largest banks in the United 
States.  Janus  is  a  dual-sided  self-service  terminal,  that  features  video  teller  access  and  is  capable  of  serving  two  consumers 
simultaneously.

Retail Solutions

The Company’s retail solutions primarily consist of omni-channel retailing, store transformation and global delivery excellence. 
Omni-channel retailing ensures a seamless consumer experience across all consumer touchpoints. Store transformation is focused 
on  providing  leading  technologies  that  improve  consumer  experience  and  productivity.  Global  delivery  excellence  drives 
operational improvements that increase efficiency while reducing costs. The Company differentiates itself by developing, delivering 
and operating globally integrated information technology (IT) solutions for customers and adjusting them with the help of local 
experts to meet customer requirements globally. For the twelve months ended September 30, 2016, retail solution revenues were 
€1,035.3 as reported using International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the European Union (EU).

Software is a key differentiator for the retail business and in this sector the Company provides a comprehensive, modular solutions 
platform. Click & collect, reserve & collect, in-store ordering and return to store are typical shopping processes that consumers 
expect  retailers  to  be  able  to  deliver  across  their  footprint  and  digital  sales  channels.  With  TP.net, the  Company  offers  a 
comprehensive software solution to improve end-to-end store processes in support of omni-channel retailing. TP.net and the other 
components of the TP Application Suite are designed on a modular principle and can be integrated fully or partially into existing 
infrastructures. Data from typical information sources such as inventories, omni-channel transactions and customer information 
are available at the customer touchpoints in stores, including traditional point of sale (POS) terminals and self-service checkout 
systems, kiosk terminals and mobile devices like tablets, as well as at enterprise functions at the retailers’ headquarters.

Retail service experts are trained to install, monitor and operate store IT solutions on a global scale and provide retail companies 
with full service support throughout the store’s life cycle. The service experts can install and operate multi-vendor solutions. Retailers 
that aim to optimize their total cost of ownership utilize the Company’s services to increase system availability. The services ensure 
the rapid recovery of system failures and are provided on-site by field service engineers or by means of remote maintenance. The 
Company also provides cash cycle management services, which ensures the availability of cash recycling systems in both the front 
and back-offices.

Additionally, the Company also provides innovative and reliable POS technology that is being optimized continually to meet 
increasing automation requirements and to support omni-channel retailing. The checkout portfolio includes modular, integrated 
and mobile POS systems. Supplementing the POS systems is a broad range of peripherals, including printers, scales and mobile 
scanners, as well as the cash management portfolio which offers a wide range of banknote and coin processing systems. Also in 
the portfolio, the Company provides self-checkout terminals that ensure a consistent purchasing experience with their focus on 
speed, convenience and flexibility. The latest hybrid product generation can be switched from attended operation to self-checkout 
by the cashier with the press of a button and is thus a highly attractive solution for retailers with fluctuating store traffic throughout 
the day.

Security Solutions

From the safes and vaults that the Company first manufactured in 1859 to the full range of physical and electronic security offerings 
it provides today, the Company’s security solutions combine an extensive services portfolio and advanced products to help address 
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. All of these solutions are backed with experienced sales, 
installation and service teams. 

Physical Security. The Company provides services for a portfolio of physical security offerings, in addition to serving as a national 
locksmith. The product portfolio consists of two primary product groups, facility products and barrier solutions. Facility products 
include pneumatic tube systems for drive-up lanes, as well as video and audio capability to support remote transactions. Barrier 
solutions include vaults, safes, depositories, bullet-resistive items and under-counter equipment. The Company recently launched 
its  VeraPass® barrier  solution,  which  is  a  unique  access  solution  for  financial  institutions,  retailers,  and  commercial  property 
management firms that enhances the management of locks and keys.

Electronic Security. In international locations, the Company provides a broad range of electronic security services and products, 
as well as monitoring solutions. The Company provides security monitoring solutions, including remote monitoring and 
diagnostics, fire detection, intrusion protection, managed access control, energy management, remote video management and 
storage, logical security and web-based solutions through its SecureStat® platform.

Brazil Other

The Company provides voting machines for official elections and the terminals for the governmental lottery and correspondent 
bank, which are distributed in more than 11,000 locations across Brazil. During 2015, the Company narrowed its scope in the Brazil 
other business to primarily focus on lottery and elections to help rationalize its solution set in that market. 

OPERATIONS

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 FSS business to that of a total solutions provider with a focus on services and software.

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

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, 2016, the Company’s net investment in finance lease receivables was $63.7.

SEGMENTS AND FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT GEOGRAPHIC AREAS

The Company’s operations are comprised of four geographic segments: North America (NA), Asia Pacific (AP), Europe, Middle 
East and Africa (EMEA), and Latin America (LA). The four geographic segments sell and service FSS, retail solutions and security 
systems around the globe through wholly-owned subsidiaries, strategic alliances, joint ventures and independent distributors in 
more than 130 countries.

Sales to customers outside the United States in relation to total consolidated net sales were $2,296.2 or 69.2 percent in 2016, 
$1,405.0 or 58.1 percent in 2015 and $1,698.9 or 62.1 percent in 2014. 

Property, plant and equipment, net, located in the United States totaled $111.2, $130.4 and $116.5 as of December 31, 2016, 
2015 and 2014, respectively, and property, plant and equipment, net, located outside the United States totaled $275.8, $44.9 
and $49.2 as of December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Additional  financial  information  regarding the  Company’s international  operations  is  included  in  note 22  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 $1,060.0 and $641.1 as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, 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 

As described in more detail below, the Company participates in many highly competitive businesses in the services, software and 
technology space, with a mixture of local, regional and/or global competitors in its markets. In addition, the competitive environment 
for these types of solutions is evolving as the Company's customers are transforming their businesses utilizing innovative technology. 
Therefore, the Company’s product, software and service solutions must also provide cutting-edge capabilities to meet the customers 
emerging needs and compete with new innovators. The Company distinguishes itself by providing unique value with a wide range 
of innovative solutions to meet customers’ needs.

The  Company  believes,  based  upon  outside  independent  industry  surveys  from  Retail  Banking  Research  (RBR),  that  it  is  an 
exceptional service provider for and manufacturer of self-service solutions across the globe. The Company maintains a global 
service infrastructure that allows it to provide services and support to satisfy its customers’ needs. Many of the Company’s customers 
are beginning to adopt branch automation solutions to transform their branches, which will improve the customer experience and 

6

enhance efficiency through the utilization of automated transactions, mobile solutions and other client-facing technologies. As 
the trend towards branch and store automation continues to build more momentum, the traditional lines of “behind the counter” 
and “in front of the counter” are starting to blur, which is allowing for more entrants into the market. As customer requirements 
evolve, separate markets will converge to fulfill new customer demand. The Company expects that this will increase the complexity 
and competitive nature of the business.

The  Company’s competitors  in  the  self-service  market  segment  include  global  and  multi-regional  manufacturers  and  service 
providers, such as NCR, Nautilus Hyosung, GRG Banking Equipment, Glory Global Solutions, Oki Data and Triton Systems to a 
number of primarily local and regional manufacturers and service providers, including, but not limited to, Fujitsu and Hitachi-
Omron in AP; Hantle/GenMega in NA; KEBA in EMEA; and Perto in LA. In addition, the Company faces competition in many 
markets from numerous independent ATM deployers.

In the self-service software market, the Company, in addition to the key hardware players highlighted above, competes with several 
smaller, niche software companies like KAL. In the managed services and outsourcing solutions market, apart from its traditional 
FSS competitors, the Company competes with a number of large technology competitors such as Fiserv, IBM and HP.

In the retail market, the Company, in addition to the key players highlighted above, competes with a number of large technology 
competitors such as MICROS, Toshiba, FEC and Cummins Allison.

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 believes it is a very well-positioned security service and solution 
provider to global, national, regional and local financial, commercial and industrial customers. 

The Company provides election systems, product solutions and support to the Brazil government. Competition in this market 
segment is based upon technology pre-qualification demonstrations to the Brazil government. 

RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT AND ENGINEERING

Customer demand for FSS, retail 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 $110.2, $86.9 and $93.6 in 2016, 
2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company recently announced a number of new innovative solutions, such as the new Extreme 
ATM™ concept, biometric-enabled solutions, responsive banking concept, the ActivEdge™ secure card reader and the world’s 
greenest ATM.

PATENTS, TRADEMARKS, LICENSES

The Company owns patents, trademarks and licenses relating to certain products across the globe. 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. The Company intends to protect and defend its intellectual property, including pursuit of infringing 
third parties for damages and other appropriate remedies.

ENVIRONMENTAL

Compliance with federal, state and local environmental protection laws during 2016 had no material effect upon the Company’s 
business, financial condition or results of operations. 

EMPLOYEES

At December 31, 2016, the Company employed approximately 25,000 associates globally. As a result of the acquisition of Diebold 
Nixdorf AG, the Company has significantly increased its presence around the world and now conducts business in more than 130 
countries.

ITEM 1A: RISK FACTORS
(dollars and euros in millions)

The following, including the risk factors relating to the integration of our acquisition of Diebold Nixdorf AG (the Acquisition), 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.

The Company may fail to realize the anticipated strategic and financial benefits sought from the Acquisition.

The Company may not realize all of the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition. The success of the Acquisition will depend on, 
among other things, the Company’s ability to combine its business with Diebold Nixdorf AG’s business in a manner that facilitates 
growth in the value-added services sector and realizes anticipated cost savings. The Company believes that the Acquisition will 
provide an opportunity for revenue growth in managed services, professional services, installation and maintenance services.

However, the  Company  must  successfully  combine  the  Acquisition  in  a  manner  that  permits  these  anticipated  benefits  to  be 
realized. In  addition,  the  Company  must  achieve  the  anticipated  growth and  cost  savings  without  adversely  affecting current 
revenues and investments in future growth. Further, providing managed services, professional services, installation and maintenance 
services can be highly complex and can involve the design, development, implementation and operation of new solutions and 
the transitioning of clients from their existing systems and processes to a new environment. If the Company is not able to effectively 
provide value-added services and successfully achieve the growth and cost savings objectives, the anticipated benefits of the 
Acquisition may not be realized fully, or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected.

The Company may experience operational challenges, negative synergies and loss of customers.

Integrating the operations and personnel of the Acquisition involve complex operational, technological and personnel-related 
challenges. This process will be time-consuming and expensive, and it may disrupt the businesses of the Company. The Company 
may not realize all of the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition. Difficulties in the integration of the business, which may result in 
significant costs and delays, include:

• managing a significantly larger company;
•

•
•

•
•

integrating and unifying the offerings and services available to customers and coordinating distribution and marketing
efforts;
coordinating corporate and administrative infrastructures and harmonizing insurance coverage;
unanticipated  issues  in  coordinating  accounting,  information  technology,  communications,  administration  and  other
systems;
difficulty addressing possible differences in corporate cultures and management philosophies;
challenges associated with changing the Acquisition's financial reporting from IFRS to accounting principles generally
accepted  in  the  U.S.  (U.S  GAAP)  and  compliance  with  the  Sarbanes-Oxley  Act  of  2002,  as  amended,  and  the  rules
promulgated thereunder by the SEC;
legal and regulatory compliance;
creating and implementing uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies;
litigation relating to the transactions contemplated by a reorganization, including shareholder litigation;
diversion of management’s attention from other operations;

•
•
•
•
• maintaining  existing  agreements  and  relationships  with  customers,  distributors,  providers  and  vendors  and  avoiding

delays in entering into new agreements with prospective customers, distributors, providers and vendors;
realizing the benefits from the Company’s restructuring programs;
unforeseen and unexpected liabilities related to the Acquisition, including the risk that certain of the Company's executive
officers may be subject to additional fiduciary duties and liability;
identifying and eliminating redundant and underperforming functions and assets;
effecting actions that may be required in connection with obtaining regulatory approvals; and
a deterioration of credit ratings.

•
•

•
•
•

The Company may lose customers or its share of customers’ business as entities that were customers of both Diebold, Incorporated 
and Diebold Nixdorf AG seek to diversify their suppliers of services and products. Following the Acquisition, customers may no 
longer distinguish between Diebold, Incorporated and Diebold Nixdorf AG and their respective services and products. Banking 
customers in particular may turn to competitors of the Company for products and services that they received from the Company 
prior  to  the  Acquisition.  As  a  result, the  Company  may  lose  customers  and  anticipated  revenues may  decrease following  the 
Acquisition. In addition, third parties with whom the Company currently has relationships may terminate or otherwise reduce the 
scope of their relationship. Any such loss of business could limit the Company’s ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the 

9

Acquisition. Finally, certain regulatory agencies may propose restrictions, divestitures or other business structures as part of their 
review and approval process which, if adopted, could have a negative impact, or cause the loss of, certain customer or supplier 
relationships of the Company.

The Company is exposed to additional litigation risk and uncertainty with respect to the remaining minority shareholders of 
Diebold Nixdorf AG.

As a result of the Acquisition, the Company continues to be exposed to litigation risk and uncertainty associated with the remaining 
minority shareholders of Diebold Nixdorf AG. The Company’s willingness and/or ability to acquire all issued and outstanding shares 
of Diebold Nixdorf AG, and the timing of any such potential acquisition, is uncertain. In addition, the adequacy of both forms of 
compensation payments to minority shareholders agreed under the terms of the Domination and Profit and Loss Transfer Agreement 
between Diebold Holding Germany Inc. & Co. KGaA (Diebold KGaA), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and Diebold 
Nixdorf AG (the DPLTA) is expected to be challenged by minority shareholders of Diebold Nixdorf AG by initiating  court-led 
appraisal proceedings under German law. The Company cannot rule out that the competent court in such appraisal proceeding 
may adjudicate a higher exit compensation or recurring payment obligation (in each case, including interest thereon) than agreed 
upon in the DPLTA, the financial impact and timing of which is uncertain.

The Company incurred a substantial amount of indebtedness in connection with the Acquisition and, as a result, is highly leveraged. 
The Company’s failure to meet its debt service obligations could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, 
financial condition and results of operations.

The Company’s high level of indebtedness following the Acquisition could adversely affect the Company’s operations and liquidity. 
The Company’s level of indebtedness could, among other things:

•

•

• make it more difficult for the Company to pay or refinance its debts as they become due during adverse economic and
industry conditions because the Company may not have sufficient cash flows to make its scheduled debt payments;
cause the Company to use a larger portion of its cash flow to fund interest and principal payments, reducing the availability
of cash to fund working capital, capital expenditures, research and development and other business activities;
limit the Company’s ability to take advantage of significant business opportunities, such as acquisition opportunities, and
to react to changes in market or industry conditions;
cause the Company to be more vulnerable to general adverse economic and industry conditions;
cause the Company to be disadvantaged compared to competitors with less leverage;
result in a downgrade in the credit rating of the Company or indebtedness of the Company or its subsidiaries, which
could increase the cost of borrowings; and
limit the Company’s ability to borrow additional monies in the future to fund working capital, capital expenditures, research
and development and other general corporate purposes.

•
•
•

•

In addition, the agreements governing the Company's indebtedness contain restrictive covenants that limit our ability to engage 
in activities that may be in our long-term best interest. The Company's failure to comply with those covenants could result in an 
event of default that, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of all its debt.

The Company may also incur additional long-term debt and working capital lines of credit to meet future financing needs, which 
would increase our total indebtedness. Although the terms  of its existing and future credit agreements and of the indentures 
governing its debt contain restrictions on the incurrence of additional debt, including secured debt, these restrictions are subject 
to a number of important exceptions and debt incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. If the Company 
and its restricted subsidiaries incur significant additional debt, the related risks that the Company faces could intensify.

The terms of the credit agreement governing our senior credit facility and the Indenture restrict our current and future operations, 
particularly our ability to respond to changes or to take certain actions. 

The Indenture and the credit agreement governing our senior credit facility contain a number of restrictive covenants that impose 
significant operating and financial restrictions on us and may limit our ability to engage in acts that may be in our long-term best 
interest, including restrictions on our ability to: 

incur additional indebtedness and guarantee indebtedness;
pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem capital stock;
prepay, redeem or repurchase certain debt;
issue certain preferred stock or similar equity securities;

•
•
•
•
• make loans and investments;
•
•
•
•
•
•

sell assets;
incur liens;
enter into transactions with affiliates;
alter the businesses we conduct;
enter into agreements restricting our subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends; and
consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets.

10

In addition, the restrictive covenants in the credit agreement governing our senior credit facility require us to maintain specified 
financial ratios and satisfy other financial condition tests. Our ability to meet those financial ratios and tests can be affected by 
events beyond our control, and we may be unable to meet them.

A breach of the covenants or restrictions under the Indenture or under the credit agreement governing our senior credit facility 
could result in an event of default under the applicable indebtedness. Such a default may allow the creditors to accelerate the 
related debt and may result in the acceleration of any other debt to which a cross-acceleration or cross-default provision applies. 
In addition, an event of default under the credit agreement governing our senior credit facility would permit the lenders under 
our senior credit facility to terminate all commitments to extend further credit under that facility. Furthermore, if we were unable 
to repay the amounts due and payable under our senior credit facility, those lenders could proceed against the collateral granted 
them to secure that indebtedness. In the event our lenders or noteholders accelerate the repayment of our borrowings, we and 
our subsidiaries may not have sufficient assets to repay that indebtedness. As a result of these restrictions, we may be:

•
•
•

limited in how we conduct our business;
unable to raise additional debt or equity financing to operate during general economic or business downturns; and
unable to compete effectively or to take advantage of new business opportunities.

These restrictions may affect our ability to grow in accordance with our strategy. In addition, our financial results, our substantial 
indebtedness and our credit ratings could adversely affect the availability and terms of our financing.

In addition to the Acquisition, the Company may be unable to successfully and effectively manage acquisitions, divestitures and 
other significant transactions, which could harm our operating results, business and prospects.

As part of our business strategy, including and in addition to the Acquisition, 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 and the divestiture of combined 
businesses, operations and employees. Integration, divestiture 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 and divestiture issues are complex, time-consuming and expensive and, without proper planning and implementation, 
could significantly disrupt our business. The challenges involved in integrating and divesting include:

•
•

•

combining service and product offerings and entering into new markets in which we are not experienced;
convincing customers and distributors that any such 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;
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; 
achieving savings from supply chain and administration integration; and
efficiently  divesting  combined  business  operations  which  may  cause  increased  costs  as  divested  businesses  are  de-
integrated from embedded systems and operations.

•

•
•

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 time frame 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 

11

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, 
regulatory compliance 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 shares, 
potentially  creating  dilution  for  existing  shareholders,  or  borrow  funds,  which  could  affect  our  financial  condition,  results  of 
operations 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 our borrowing cost, 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 materially from the 
investment community’s expectations.

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 retail stores and 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 which could 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, may 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, retail and security 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 and retail 
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, retail systems 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.

In particular, continuing economic difficulties in the global markets have led to an economic recession in many of the markets in 
which  we  operate.  As  a  result of  these  difficulties and  other  factors,  including  new  or  increased regulatory burdens, financial 
institutions and retail customers 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.

12

Additionally, the unstable political conditions in the Middle East, among others, 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 flows 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 services and products are in direct competition with similar or 
alternative services or 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 (U.S.) 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 decide to repatriate cash 
and cash equivalents and short-term investments residing in international tax jurisdictions, there could be 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 the Company’s Brazil subsidiaries was notified of 
a  tax  assessment  of  approximately  R$270.0,  including  penalties  and  interest,  regarding  certain  Brazil  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 Brazil’s free trade zone that would nullify 
certain indirect tax incentives. In September 2012, the Company filed its administrative defenses with the tax authorities.

In response to an order by the administrative court, the tax inspector provided further analysis with respect to the initial assessment 
in December 2013 that indicates a potential exposure that is significantly lower than the initial tax assessment received in August 
2012. This revised analysis has been accepted by the initial administrative court and lower level appellate court; however, this 
matter  remains  subject  to  ongoing  administrative  proceedings  and  appeals.  Accordingly,  the  Company  cannot  provide  any 
assurance that its exposure pursuant to the initial assessment will be lowered significantly or at all. In addition, this matter could 
negatively impact Brazil 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. The Company continues to defend itself in this matter.

Furthermore, the Company has challenged customs rulings in Thailand seeking to retroactively collect customs duties on previous 
imports  of  ATMs.  Management  believes  that  the  customs  authority’s  attempt  to  retroactively  assess  customs  duties  is  in 
contravention of World Trade Organization agreements and, accordingly, is challenging the rulings. In the third quarter of 2015, 
the  Company  received  a  prospective  ruling  from  the  U.S.  Customs  Border  Protection  that  is  consistent  with  the  Company's 
interpretation of the treaty in question. The Company has submitted that ruling for consideration in our ongoing dispute with 

13

Thailand. In August 2016, the tax court of appeals rendered a decision in favor of the Company related to approximately half of 
the assessments at issue. The remaining matters are currently in various stages of the appeals process and management continues 
to believe that the Company has a valid legal position in these appeals. Accordingly, the Company has not accrued any amount 
for this contingency; however, the Company cannot provide any assurance that  it will not ultimately  be subject to retroactive 
assessments.

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. The Company estimated the aggregate risk at December 31, 2016 to be up 
to approximately $172.9 for its material indirect tax matters, of which approximately $125.9 and $24.0, respectively, relates to the 
Brazil indirect tax matter and Thailand customs matter disclosed above. The aggregate risk related to indirect taxes is adjusted as 
the applicable statutes of limitations expire. It is reasonably possible that we could be required to pay taxes, penalties and interest 
related to this matter or other open years, which could be material to our financial condition and results of operations.

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

In  a  number  of  international  markets  in  each  region  where  we  operate,  for  instance  in  Brazil  and  China,  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 countries 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. As a U.S. based multi-national corporation, we must ensure our compliance 
with 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 U.S. Revenue from international operations 
amounted to approximately 69.2 percent in 2016, 58.1 percent in 2015 and 62.1 percent in 2014 of total revenue during these 
respective years. We expect more of our future revenue to be generated outside the U.S. with the integration of the Acquisition.

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

•

•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

•
•
•

•
•
•
•

fluctuations in currency exchange rates, particularly in EMEA (primarily the euro and Great Britain pound sterling), China
(renminbi) and Brazil (real);
transportation delays and interruptions;
political and economic instability and disruptions;
the failure of foreign governments to abide by international agreements and treaties;
restrictions on the transfer of funds;
the imposition of duties, tariffs and other taxes;
import and export controls;
changes in governmental policies and regulatory environments;
ensuring our compliance with U.S. laws and regulations and applicable laws and regulations in other jurisdictions, including
the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), the U.K. Bribery Act, and applicable laws and regulations in other jurisdictions;
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.

14

We may be exposed to liabilities under the FCPA, which could harm our reputation and 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.

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 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 to the FCPA and may 
follow local customs and practices. 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 reputation, business, financial condition or results of operations. 
Future changes in anti-bribery or economic sanctions laws and enforcement could also result in increased compliance requirements 
and related expenses that may also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

In addition, our business opportunities in select geographies have been or may be adversely affected by the settlement of the 
FCPA matter that we settled with the U.S. government in late 2013. 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 effect 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 130 countries outside 
of the U.S. 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. Further, violations of laws by 
our foreign business partners, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt our business and result in financial penalties and other 
consequences that may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

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 amortizing 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 under-
performance 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, 2016, we had $998.3 of goodwill. We assess all existing goodwill at least annually for impairment on a reporting 
unit basis. The Company’s four reporting units were defined as Domestic and Canada, AP, EMEA and LA. 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.

System security risks, systems integration and cybersecurity 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 those of our customers, corrupt data, create system disruptions or cause shutdowns. A network security 
breach could be particularly harmful if it remains 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 

15

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 our 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.

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 to pay dividends, either in whole or in part. In addition, any 
tightening of the credit markets may limit our ability to obtain alternative sources of cash to fund our operations.

Although the Company has paid dividends on its common shares in the past the declaration and payment of future dividends, as 
well as the amount thereof, are subject to the declaration by the Company’s board of directors. The amount and size of any future 
dividends will depend on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, capital levels, cash requirements, future prospects 
and other factors.

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 
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.

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 shares.

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 the Company cannot provide reasonable assurance with respect to our financial statements and effectively 

16

prevent fraud, our financial statements could become materially misleading, which could adversely affect the trading price of our 
common shares.

If  the  Company  is  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  the  Company  experiences  difficulties  in  the  implementation  of  or  the 
implemented controls required in connection with the Acquisition, 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 the Company among customers, lenders, investors, securities analysts and others could also be adversely affected.

The Company had material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting in the past, and 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 the Company has 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 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 across the globe. 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 
causing 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 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 to our pension plans of approximately $26.7 in 2017. Changes in the current assumptions and estimates could result 
in contributions in years beyond 2017 that are greater than the projected 2017 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 
uninsured 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.

17

An adverse determination that our services, products or manufacturing processes infringe the intellectual property rights of 
others, an adverse determination that a competitor has infringed our intellectual property rights, or our failure to enforce our 
intellectual property rights 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.

The Company also seeks to enforce our intellectual property rights against infringement. In October 2015, the Company filed a 
complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) and the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio alleging 
that Nautilus Hyosung Inc., and its subsidiary Nautilus Hyosung America Inc., infringe the Company's patents. The ITC instituted 
an investigation and, in December 2016, the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) issued an initial determination that Nautilus Hyosung 
infringes on two of the Company's patents. The ALJ further recommended an exclusion order barring the importation of certain 
Nautilus Hyosung deposit automation enabled ATMs and modules. The ITC has set a target date to complete the investigation 
and issue its final ruling in the first quarter of 2017. In response to these actions taken by the Company, in February 2016 Nautilus 
Hyosung filed complaints against the Company in front of the ITC and U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas alleging 
the Company infringes certain Nautilus Hyosung patents. The Company is aggressively defending the claims asserted by Nautilus 
Hyosung. 

The Company cannot predict the outcome of actions to enforce our intellectual property rights, and, although we seek to enforce 
our intellectual property rights, we cannot guarantee that we will be successful in doing so. 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 applicable securities laws, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act), 
the German Securities Trading Act (Wertpapierhandelsgesetz) and Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 of the European Parliament and 
of the Council of April 16, 2014 as well as 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 our supply chain, 
including the mine owner and operator. Global supply chains can have multiple layers, thus the costs of complying with these 
requirements could be substantial. These 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. As another example, the customs authority in 
Thailand has unilaterally changed its position with respect to its obligations under the World Trade Organization’s International 
Technology Agreement (ITA), which provides duty-free treatment for the importation of ATMs into Thailand from other member 
countries that have signed the ITA.

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 shares. 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.

The Company may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness and may be forced to take other 
actions to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness, which may not be successful.

The Company's ability to make scheduled payments or refinance its debt obligations depends on our financial condition and 
operating performance, which are subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business, 

18

legislative, regulatory and other factors beyond our control. The Company may be unable to maintain a level of cash flows from 
operating activities sufficient to permit the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on its indebtedness.

If the Company's cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund its debt service obligations, the Company could face 
substantial liquidity problems and could be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures or to dispose of material 
assets or operations, seek additional debt or equity capital or restructure or refinance its indebtedness. The Company may not be 
able to effect any such alternative measures, if necessary, on commercially reasonable terms or at all and, even if successful, those 
alternative  actions  may  not  allow  the  Company  to  meet  its  scheduled  debt  service  obligations.  In  addition,  the  terms  of  the 
Company's existing or future debt arrangements may restrict it from effecting any of these alternatives.

The  Company's  inability  to  generate  sufficient  cash  flows  to  satisfy  its  debt  obligations,  or  to  refinance  its  indebtedness  on 
commercially reasonable terms or at all, would materially and adversely affect its financial position and results of operations.

The Acquisition remains subject to antitrust review by the Competition and Markets Authority of the United Kingdom, which, if 
approval is delayed or not granted, may impact our ability to integrate successfully.

While the Acquisition closed on August 15, 2016, it still remains subject to review by the Competition and Markets Authority of 
the United Kingdom (CMA). As a result, Diebold Nixdorf, Inc. and Diebold Nixdorf AG are required to operate their businesses in 
the U.K. separately until such clearance has been received. The CMA has broad discretion in administering the governing regulations 
and may impose requirements, limitations or costs, mandate remedies, such as divestitures of certain business assets, or place 
additional restrictions on the conduct of our businesses, to ensure sufficient competition in the U.K. market. No assurance can be 
given as to the ultimate impact and outcome of the CMA review, that approval from the CMA will be obtained, or the terms, 
conditions and timing of such approval. Any delay or uncertainty relating to such approval may result in additional transaction 
costs and make it more difficult for us to maintain or pursue particular business strategies and integrate successfully. Conditions 
imposed by the CMA may restrict our ability to modify the operations of our business in response to changing circumstances or 
our ability to expend cash for other uses or otherwise have an adverse effect on the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition, thereby 
adversely impacting the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company. 

Economic conditions and regulatory changes leading up to and following the United Kingdom’s likely exit from the EU could 
have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. 

Following  a  referendum in  June  2016  in  which  voters  in  the  U.K.  approved an  exit  from the  EU,  it  is  expected  that  the  U.K. 
government will initiate a process to leave the EU (often referred to as Brexit) and begin negotiating the terms of the U.K.’s future 
relationship with the EU. The Company faces uncertainty regarding the impact of the likely exit of the U.K. from the EU. Adverse 
consequences  such  as  deterioration  in  global  economic  conditions,  stability  in  global  financial  markets,  volatility  in  currency 
exchange rates or adverse changes in regulation of the cross-border agreements could have a negative impact on our financial 
condition and results of operations.

ITEM 3: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
(dollars in millions)

At December 31, 2016, 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 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, 2016:

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, 2016, the Company was a party to several routine 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 proceedings described below:

In August 2012, one of the Company's Brazil subsidiaries was notified of a tax assessment of approximately R$270.0, including 
penalties and interest, regarding certain Brazil 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 Brazil's free trade zone that would nullify certain indirect tax incentives. In September 2012, the Company filed 
its administrative defenses with the tax authorities.

In response to an order by the administrative court, the tax inspector provided further analysis with respect to the initial assessment 
in December 2013 that indicates a potential exposure that is significantly lower than the initial tax assessment received in August 
2012. This revised analysis has been accepted by the initial administrative court and lower level appellate court; however, this 
matter  remains  subject  to  ongoing  administrative  proceedings  and  appeals.  Accordingly,  the  Company  cannot  provide  any 
assurance that its exposure pursuant to the initial assessment will be lowered significantly or at all. In addition, this matter could 
negatively impact Brazil federal indirect taxes in other years that remain open under statute. It is reasonably possible that the 

20

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. The Company continues to defend itself in this matter.

The Company has challenged customs rulings in Thailand seeking to retroactively collect customs duties on previous imports of 
ATMs. Management believes that the customs authority’s attempt to retroactively assess customs duties is in contravention of 
World Trade Organization agreements and, accordingly, is challenging the rulings. In the third quarter of 2015, the Company 
received a prospective ruling from the U.S. Customs Border Protection, which is consistent with the Company's interpretation of 
the treaty in question. The Company has submitted that ruling for consideration in its ongoing dispute with Thailand. In August 
2016, the tax court of appeals rendered a decision in favor of the Company related to approximately half of the assessments at 
issue. The remaining matters are currently in various stages of the appeals process and management continues to believe that the 
Company has a valid legal position in these appeals. Accordingly, the Company has not accrued any amount for this contingency; 
however, the Company cannot provide any assurance that it will not ultimately be subject to retroactive assessments.

At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had an accrual related to the Brazil indirect tax matter disclosed above of $7.3 
and $7.5, respectively. The movement between periods relates to the currency fluctuation in the Brazil real.

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. The Company estimated the aggregate risk at December 31, 2016 to be up 
to approximately $172.9 for its material indirect tax matters, of which approximately $125.9 and $24.0, respectively, relates to the 
Brazil indirect tax matter and Thailand customs matter disclosed above. The aggregate risk related to indirect taxes is adjusted as 
the applicable statutes of limitations expire.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS as of December 31, 2016 
DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
(unaudited)
(dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

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

Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated (collectively with its subsidiaries, the Company) provides connected commerce services, software 
and technology to enable millions of transactions each day. The Company’s approximately 25,000 employees design and deliver 
convenient, “always on” and highly secure solutions that bridge the physical and the digital worlds of transactions. Customers of 
the Company include nearly all of the world’s top 100 financial institutions and a majority of the top 25 global retailers.

Strategy

The Company’s Connected Commerce strategy seeks to continually enhance the customer experience at banking or retail locations 
by integrating services, software and systems. This requires ongoing investment and development of our industry-leading field 
services organization as well as the development and integration of innovative technology including cloud computing technology, 
sensors and connectivity to the Internet of Things, as well as open and agile software. The Company will continuously refine its 
R&D spend in support of a better transaction experience for consumers

Multi-Year Integration Program

The Company is executing a multi-year integration program designed to optimize the assets, business processes, and IT systems 
of Diebold Nixdorf. This program, in aggregate, has identified an opportunity to realize approximately $160 of cost synergies over 
three years. These cost synergies include:

•
•
•
•
•
•

Realizing volume discounts on direct materials
Harmonizing the solutions set
Increasing utilization rates of the service technicians
Rationalizing facilities in the regions
Streamlining corporate and general and administrative functions
Harmonizing back office solutions.

The Company has and will continue to invest significant dollars to restructure the workforce, optimize legacy systems, streamline 
legal  entities  and  consolidate  real estate  holdings.  By  executing  these  integration  activities,  the  Company  expects  to  deliver 
greater innovation for customers, career enrichment opportunities for employees, and enhanced value for shareholders. 

Financial Self-Service Solutions

The Company is a leader in providing connected commerce solutions to financial institutions. These solutions are supported by 
a  dedicated  field  service  organization.  The  combination  of  high  reliability,  industry-leading  security,  remote  management 
capabilities and highly-trained field technicians has made the Company a preferred choice for FSS solutions. Through managed 
services, banks entrust the management of their ATM and security operations to the Company, allowing their associates to focus 
on core competencies. Furthermore, the Company’s managed services deliver greater operational efficiencies and provide financial 
institutions with a leading-edge solutions that they need to stay competitive in the marketplace.

A significant demand driver in the global ATM marketplace is branch automation, which helps financial institutions grow revenue, 
reduce costs, and increase convenience and security for the banks’ customers by migrating routine transactions, typically done 
inside the branch, to lower-cost automated channels. The Company serves as a strategic partner to its customers by offering a 
complete branch automation solution - services, software and technology - that addresses the complete value chain of consult, 
design, build and operate. The Company’s advisory services team collaborates with its clients to help define the ideal customer 
experience, modify processes, refine existing staffing models and deploy technology to meet branch automation objectives. The 
in-lobby teller terminal provides branch automation technology by combining the speed and accuracy of a self-service terminal 
with intelligence from the bank’s core systems, as well as the ability to complete higher value transactions away from the teller 
line.

The Company also offers hardware-agnostic, omni-channel software solutions for ATMs and a host of other self-service applications. 
These  offerings  include  highly  configurable,  enterprise-wide  software  that  automates  and  migrates  financial  services  across 
channels, changing the way financial products are delivered to consumers.

service channel and improve ATM availability by anticipating maintenance needs. Additionally, the Company introduced the new 
Extreme ATM™ concept - the smallest ATM ever developed - which utilizes a cardless Bluetooth-enabled mobile interface.

The Company offers an integrated line of self-service solutions and technology, including comprehensive ATM outsourcing, ATM 
security, deposit automation, recycling, payment terminals and software. The Company also offers advanced functionality terminals 
capable  of  supporting  mobile  cardless transactions  and  two-way  video  technology  to  enhance  bank  branch  automation.  The 
Company is a global supplier of ATMs and related services and holds a leading market position in many countries around the

Retail Solutions

The Company’s retail solutions primarily consist of omni-channel retailing, store transformation and global delivery excellence. 
Omni-channel retailing ensures a seamless consumer experience across all consumer touchpoints. Store transformation is focused 
on  providing  leading  technologies  that  improve  consumer  experience  and  productivity.  Global  delivery  excellence  drives 
operational improvements that increase efficiency while reducing costs. The Company differentiates itself by developing, delivering 
and operating globally integrated IT solutions for customers and adjusting them with the help of local experts to meet customer 
requirements globally. For the twelve months ended September 30, 2016, retail solution revenues were €1,035.3 as reported 
using IFRS issued by the EU.

Software is a key differentiator for the retail business and in this sector the Company provides a comprehensive, modular solutions 
platform. Click & collect, reserve & collect, in-store ordering and return to store are typical shopping processes that consumers 
expect  retailers  to  be  able  to  deliver  across  their  footprint  and  digital  sales  channels.  With  TP.net, the  Company  offers  a 
comprehensive software solution to improve end-to-end store processes in support of omni-channel retailing. TP.net and the other 
components of the TP Application Suite are designed on a modular principle and can be integrated fully or partially into existing 
infrastructures. Data from typical information sources such as inventories, omni-channel transactions and customer information 
are available at the customer touchpoints in stores, including traditional Point of Sale (POS) terminals and self-service checkout 
systems, kiosk terminals and mobile devices like tablets, as well as at enterprise functions at the retailers’ headquarter.

Retail service experts are trained to install, monitor and operate store IT solutions on a global scale and provide retail companies 
with full service support throughout the store’s life cycle. The service experts can install and operate multi-vendor solutions. Retailers 
that aim to optimize their total cost of ownership utilize the Company’s services to increase system availability. The services ensure 
the rapid recovery of system failures and are provided on-site by field service engineers or by means of remote maintenance. The 
Company also provides cash cycle management services, which ensures the availability of cash recycling systems in both the front 
and back-offices.

The  Company  also  provides  innovative  and  reliable  POS  technology  that  is  being  optimized  continually  to  meet  increasing 
automation requirements and to support omni-channel retailing. The checkout portfolio includes modular, integrated and mobile 
POS systems. Supplementing the POS systems is a broad range of peripherals, including printers, scales and mobile scanners, as 
well as the cash management portfolio which offers a wide range of banknote and coin processing systems. Also in the portfolio, 
the  Company  provides  self-checkout  terminals  that  ensure  a  consistent  purchasing  experience  with  their  focus  on  speed, 
convenience and flexibility. The latest hybrid product generation can be switched from attended operation to self-checkout by 
the cashier with the press of a button and is thus a highly attractive solution for retailers with fluctuating store traffic throughout 
the day.

Acquisition of Diebold Nixdorf AG

Diebold Nixdorf AG is one of the world's leading providers of IT solutions and services to retail banks and the retail industry. The 
Acquisition  is  consistent  with  the  Company's  transformation  into  a  world-class,  services-led  and  software-enabled  company, 
supported  by  innovative  hardware.  Diebold  Nixdorf  AG  complements  and  extends  our  existing  capabilities.  The  Company 
considered a number of factors in connection with its evaluation of the transaction, including significant strategic opportunities 
and  potential  synergies, as  generally  supporting  its  decision  to  enter  into  the  business  combination  agreement with  Diebold 
Nixdorf AG. The Acquisition expands the Company's presence substantially, especially in EMEA. The Diebold Nixdorf AG business 
enhances the Company's existing portfolio. Diebold Nixdorf AG has a fiscal year end of September 30. For the twelve months 
ended September 30, 2016, Diebold Nixdorf AG recorded net sales of €2,578.6 as reported using IFRS as issued by the EU.

In  the  fourth  quarter  of  2015,  the  Company  announced  its  intention  to  acquire  all  29.8  Diebold  Nixdorf  AG  ordinary  shares 
outstanding (33.1 total Diebold Nixdorf AG ordinary shares issued inclusive of 3.3 treasury shares) through a voluntary tender offer 
for €38.98 in cash and 0.434 common shares of the Company per Diebold Nixdorf AG ordinary share outstanding. 

On August 15, 2016, the Company consummated the Acquisition by acquiring, through Diebold KGaA, a German partnership 
limited by shares and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, 22.9 Diebold Nixdorf AG ordinary shares representing 69.2 
percent of total number of Diebold Nixdorf AG ordinary shares inclusive of treasury shares (76.7 percent of all Diebold Nixdorf 
AG ordinary shares outstanding) in exchange for an aggregate preliminary purchase price consideration of $1,265.7, which included 
the issuance of 9.9 common shares of the Company. The Company financed the cash portion of the Acquisition as well as the 
repayment of Diebold Nixdorf AG debt outstanding with funds available under the Company’s Credit Agreement (as defined in 
note 14 to the consolidated financial statements, which is contained in Item 8 of this annual report on Form 10-K) and proceeds 
from the issuance and sale of $400.0 aggregate principal amount of 8.5 percent senior notes due 2024 (the 2024 Senior Notes). 

Subsequent to the closing of the Acquisition, the board of directors of the Company, the supervisory and management boards 
of Diebold Nixdorf AG as well as the extraordinary shareholder meetings of Diebold KGaA and Diebold Nixdorf AG on September 
26, 2016 each approved the proposed DPLTA. The DPLTA became effective by entry in the commercial register at the local court 
of Paderborn (Germany) on February 14, 2017. 

Pursuant to the DPLTA, subject to certain limitations pursuant to applicable law, (i) Diebold KGaA has the ability to issue binding 
instructions to the management board of Diebold Nixdorf AG, (ii) Diebold Nixdorf AG will transfer all of its annual profits to Diebold 
KGaA, and (iii) Diebold KGaA will generally absorb all annual losses incurred by Diebold Nixdorf AG. In addition, the DPLTA offers 
the Diebold Nixdorf AG minority shareholders, at their election, (i) the ability to put their Diebold Nixdorf AG ordinary shares to 
Diebold KGaA in exchange for cash compensation of €55.02 per Diebold Nixdorf AG ordinary share, or (ii) to remain Diebold 
Nixdorf AG minority shareholders and receive a recurring compensation in cash of €3.13 (€2.82 net under the current taxation 
regime) per Diebold Nixdorf AG ordinary share for each full fiscal year of Diebold Nixdorf AG. The ultimate timing and amount 
of any future cash payments related to the DPLTA are uncertain.

FSS sales increased $417.8 or 19.8 percent inclusive of a net unfavorable currency impact of $49.0. The Acquisition accounted for 
$616.7 in FSS sales. FSS revenue was negatively impacted $9.8 related to purchase accounting adjustments. The following results 
include the impact of foreign currency and purchase accounting adjustments:

• NA FSS sales increased $9.7 or 1.1 percent including unfavorable currency impact of $4.1 related to the Canada dollar.
Excluding the impact of the Acquisition of $36.6 and currency, FSS sales decreased as a result of a decline in product
revenue in the U.S. regional bank space related to the completion of the Agilis 3/Windows 7 upgrade activity and lower
volume in Canada as a result of a large deposit automation upgrade project that ended in the third quarter of 2015. This
decline was partially offset by an increase in product revenue in the U.S. national bank space as well as higher maintenance
service revenue related to an increase in multi-vendor service contracts.

•

•

•

AP  FSS  sales  decreased $8.7  or  2.1  percent impacted  by  $18.6  in  unfavorable  currency mainly  related to  the  China
renminbi and India rupee of $9.0 and $6.7, respectively. Excluding the impact of the Acquisition of $108.3 and currency,
the decrease was largely attributable to a decline in product revenue stemming from lower volume primarily in China,
where  the  government  continues  to  encourage  banks  to  increase  their  use  of  domestic  ATM  suppliers.  India  also
significantly contributed to the decline as the government’s demonetization program in the current year hindered customer
growth which negatively impacted both product and service revenue.

EMEA FSS sales increased $415.0 or 105.7 percent and included an unfavorable currency impact of $15.6 mainly related
to the South Africa rand, Turkey lira and Great Britain pound sterling of $6.4, $4.0 and $2.8, respectively. Excluding the
impact  of  the  Acquisition  of  $447.1  and  currency,  FSS  revenue  decreased  due  to  lower  product  volume  within  our
distributor channels and Poland as well as an unfavorable mix of product sales in Italy. Additionally, lower product revenue
from large projects in the prior year which did not recur, primarily in Belgium and Russia also contributed to the decline.
In Belgium, the Company had project revenue in 2015 related to a Window 7 upgrade activity that did not recur in 2016.
A significant increase in product volume in Switzerland, Spain and South Africa helped to partially offset the overall decline
in product revenue. FSS service revenue increased slightly as lower billed work revenue was more than offset by higher
contract service and installation revenue.

LA FSS sales increased $1.8 or 0.4 percent inclusive of a $10.8 unfavorable currency impact related primarily to the Brazil
real. Excluding the impact of the Acquisition of $24.7 and currency, the decrease in the period was primarily the result
of product volume declines in Central America, Colombia, Peru and Chile as several large customers were renewing and
increasing  their  ATM  installation  base  in  the  prior  year. Lower  product  volume  within  LA  distributor  channels  also
contributed to the decline. Product volume increases in Mexico and Brazil partially offset these declines as well as higher
service contract revenue across a majority of the region, based on the renewals noted in the prior year.

Retail  sales  were $438.1 as  a  result of  the  Acquisition  and  were negatively  impacted by  $6.4 related to  purchase accounting 
adjustments.

Security sales decreased $19.4 or 6.6 percent impacted by $1.2 in unfavorable currency. Excluding the impact of currency, the 
NA physical security business decreased due to a decline in service contract base and product volume declines more heavily 
weighted  in  the  national  bank  space  when  compared to  the  prior  year. The  decrease in  the  electronic security  business  was 
attributable to LA as a result of lower sales in Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Brazil, which was partially offset by the transition 
services revenue in NA as a sub-contractor to Securitas AB.

Brazil other sales increased $60.5 inclusive of an unfavorable currency impact of $2.4. The increase was due to higher election 
and lottery equipment sales that was partially offset by a reduction in information technology sales, consistent with the Company's 
narrowing of scope in the Brazil other business to primarily focus on lottery and elections to rationalize the solution set in the 
market.

Service gross margin was lower due to the impact of the Acquisition as well as declines in AP related to customer mix in addition 
to service level agreement penalties in the region. Diebold Nixdorf AG utilizes an outsourcing model to support its service revenue 
stream,  which  generally  results  in  lower  margins.  Additionally,  NA  was  unfavorably  impacted  due  to  retro-active  contract 
adjustments and customer service level agreement penalties. Service gross profit included non-routine charges of $8.1 related to 
purchase accounting adjustments associated with the Acquisition in 2016. Service gross profit also included restructuring charges 
of $18.4 and $3.1 in 2016 and 2015, respectively. 

Product gross margin decreased as a result of purchase accounting valuation adjustments associated with the Acquisition, primarily 
related to inventory revaluation. Purchase accounting adjustments included an $8.1 reduction in product revenue and an increase 
in product cost of sales of $82.6. Product gross profit included total restructuring charges of $7.1 and $1.4 in 2016 and 2015, 
respectively. Excluding the impact of non-routine and restructuring, product gross margin increased slightly related to the impact 
of the Acquisition. NA product gross margin declined due to unfavorable customer and product solution mix in the current year. 
Additionally, product gross margins in EMEA, LA and AP were relatively flat due to the favorable impact of the Acquisition, which 
was partially offset by an unfavorable blend of country revenue and the deteriorating market conditions in China.

Excluding the impact of incremental expense associated with the Acquisition of $220.6, the increase in selling and administrative 
expense primarily resulted from higher total non-routine charges. To a lesser extent, an increase in bad debt expense in NA and 
higher corporate legal and professional fees also negatively impacted selling and administrative expense in the current year. These 
increases were partially  offset by  favorable  selling  expense  primarily  related to  the  recovery of  bad  debt  expense  in  Brazil,  a 
decrease in sales commission expense, lower IT and marketing expenses related to transformation  initiatives and a favorable 
currency impact. 

Non-routine expenses in selling and administrative expense of $150.8 and $36.3 were included in 2016 and 2015, respectively. 
The primary components of the non-routine expenses pertained to acquisition and divestiture costs totaling $118.9 and purchase 
accounting adjustments of $29.7 related to intangible asset amortization. Selling and administrative expense included restructuring 
charges of $28.8 and $16.1 in 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Research, development and engineering expense as a percent of net sales in 2016 and 2015 was 3.3 percent and 3.6 percent, 
respectively. Excluding the impact of the Acquisition, research and development expense decreased primarily as a result of lower 
reinvestment  associated  with  the  maturity  of  the  Company's  transformation  initiatives  compared  to  the  prior  year. Research, 
development and engineering expense included restructuring charges of $5.1 and $0.6 in 2016 and 2015, respectively.

During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company recorded a $9.8 impairment charge related to redundant legacy Diebold internally-
developed software and an indefinite-lived trade name in NA as a result of the Acquisition. The decrease in the gross carrying 
value of internally-developed software is primarily due to a $9.1 impairment during the first quarter of 2015 of certain internally-
developed software related to redundant legacy Diebold software as a result of the acquisition of Phoenix.

The decrease in interest income was driven primarily by a decrease in customer financing in Brazil and was negatively impacted 
by currency of $1.2. Interest expense was higher than the prior year associated with the financing required for the Acquisition. 
The foreign exchange loss, net in 2015 included $7.5 related to the devaluation of Venezuela currency. Miscellaneous, net in 2016 
included  a  mark-to-market  gain  of  $35.6  associated  with  the  Company's  foreign  currency  option  contracts  entered  into  on 
November 23, 2015, a mark-to-market loss of $26.4 associated with the Company’s foreign currency forward contract entered into

Income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax was $(170.7). This was primarily due to higher non-routine expenses, increased 
interest expense and the change in income tax benefit.

The effective tax rate for 2016 was 28.4 percent on the overall loss from continued operations. The benefit on the overall loss was 
negatively impacted by the Acquisition including a valuation allowance for certain post-acquisition losses and non-deductible 
acquisition related expenses. The overall effective tax rate was decreased further by the jurisdictional income (loss) mix and varying

In 2015, the overall negative effective tax rate of (29.9) percent on income from continued operations resulted from the repatriation 
of foreign earnings, the associated recognition of foreign tax credits and related benefits due to the passage of the Protecting 
Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act of 2015. In addition, the overall negative effective tax rate was due to the combined income 
mix and varying statutory rates in the Company's foreign operations. 

Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax

Income  from  discontinued  operations,  net  of  tax  was  $143.7  and  $15.9  for  the  years  ended  December 31,  2016  and  2015, 
respectively. The closing of the NA electronic security divestiture occurred on February 1, 2016 and the Company recorded a gain 
on sale, net of tax, of $145.0 for the year ended December 31, 2016. Additionally, the income from discontinued operations, net 
of tax includes a net loss of $1.3 as a result of the operations included through February 1, 2016 and net income of $15.9 for the 
year ended December 31, 2015. The closing purchase price was subject to a customary working capital adjustment, which was 
finalized in the third quarter of 2016.

NA revenue increased $23.7 and included an unfavorable currency impact of $4.1. Excluding the impact of the Acquisition of 
$59.8 and currency, NA revenue decreased compared to the prior year period primarily due to lower product revenue in the U.S. 
regional and Canada FSS businesses as well as lower revenue from physical security. These decreases were partially offset by 
higher service revenue in the U.S. as a result of increased multi-vendor service contracts and higher product sales within our national 
customer portfolio. 

Segment operating profit decreased due to lower product volume and unfavorable customer and product solution mix, which 
adversely impacted gross profit. An increase in service gross profit attributable to the incremental impact of the Acquisition partially 
offset the decline in product gross profit. Segment operating profit was also impacted by higher operating expense as a result of 
incremental expense associated with acquisitions and higher bad debt expense.

AP revenue increased $30.4 inclusive of an unfavorable currency impact of $19.2. Excluding the impact of the Acquisition of $145.5 
and currency, AP revenue decreased from the prior year mainly as a result of a decline in product revenue stemming from lower 
volume, particularly in China, where the government continues to encourage banks to increase their use of domestic ATM suppliers. 
India also contributed to the decline due in part to the government’s demonetization program which led to lower product sales 
volume and corresponding installation service revenue as well as a decrease in managed services revenue.

Segment operating profit benefited from incremental gross profit associated with the Acquisition but was more than offset by 
higher operating expense, also associated with the Acquisition. Excluding the impact of the Acquisition, operating profit decreased 
from a combination of lower product gross profit primarily driven by volume declines and deteriorating market conditions in China 
and lower service gross profit related to customer service level agreement contract requirements in India. These declines were 
partially offset by lower operating expense primarily in China.

EMEA  revenue increased $788.1  and  was  adversely  impacted  by  unfavorable  currency of  $15.6.  Excluding  the  impact  of  the 
Acquisition of $820.0 and currency, revenue decreased as a result of lower product volume within distributor channels and Poland 
as well as an unfavorable mix of product sales in Italy. Additionally, lower product revenue due to large projects in the prior year 
that did not recur, primarily in Belgium and Russia also contributed to the decline. A significant increase in product volume in 
Switzerland, Spain and South Africa helped to partially offset the overall decline in product revenue. Service revenue increased 
nominally as lower billed work revenue was more than offset by higher contract service and installation revenue.

Segment operating profit increased due to the additional gross profit contributed as a result of the Acquisition. Excluding the 
impact of the Acquisition and related purchase accounting adjustments, operating profit decreased mainly attributable to volume 
declines and an unfavorable product and customer mix. Operating expenses increased as a result of incremental expense associated 
with the Acquisition.

LA revenue increased $54.8 inclusive of an unfavorable currency impact of $13.6. Excluding the impact of the Acquisition of $29.6 
and currency, LA revenue increased mainly by higher election equipment sales in Brazil and partially offset by a decrease in FSS 
product and information technology sales. Additionally, service revenue was higher, primarily in Mexico and Colombia, and was 
partially offset by a decrease in Venezuela as the Company divested its equity interest in the joint venture in April 2015.

Segment operating profit increased primarily as a result of higher product gross profit in Brazil as well as incremental product and 
service gross profit associated with the Acquisition. Lower operating expenses benefited from bad debt recovery and cost control 
measures while being partially offset by incremental expense associated with the Acquisition.

FSS sales decreased $88.5 or 4.0 percent inclusive of a net unfavorable currency impact of $161.2. The unfavorable currency 
impact was related primarily to the Brazil real and the euro. The following segment results include the impact of foreign currency.

• NA FSS sales increased $6.4 or 0.7 percent due primarily to increased volume in Canada from a large deposit automation
upgrade project combined with the incremental sales from the acquisition of Phoenix in the first quarter of 2015. The
U.S. experienced growth in multi-vendor services within the national bank space as significant contracts were won in the
first, third and fourth quarters of 2015. This favorability was partially offset by a product volume decline related to two
large enterprise accounts in the U.S. and the winding down of the Agilis 3 and Windows 7 upgrade project in the U.S.
regional bank space.

Asia  Pacific  FSS  sales  decreased $55.9  or  11.7  percent impacted  by  $17.8  in unfavorable  currency. The  decline  was
primarily attributable to a decrease in product revenue in China where the government is encouraging banks to increase
their use of domestic ATM suppliers. This decline was partially offset by an increase in service revenue as India, Philippines
and China have experienced growth in their service installation base as well as higher professional services volume across
a majority of the region.

EMEA FSS sales decreased $28.3 or 6.7 percent inclusive of a $66.6 unfavorable currency impact mainly related to the
weakening of the euro. Excluding the unfavorable currency impact, EMEA FSS sales increased $38.3 due to higher product
volume in Turkey and with European distributors, as well as a full year benefit of Cryptera, which was acquired in the third
quarter of 2014. In addition to the unfavorable currency, offsetting declines occurred in Italy due to lower product volume
while Belgium, Austria and the U.K. had large projects in 2014.

Latin America FSS sales decreased $10.7 or 2.5 percent inclusive of $69.5 unfavorable currency impact mainly related to
the weakening of the Brazil real. Excluding the unfavorable currency impact, LA FSS sales increased $58.8 due to growth
across a majority of the region, including Mexico which experienced double digit growth related to several customers
renewing their existing ATM fleets. This was offset by the unfavorable currency impact and the sale of the Company’s
equity interest in the Venezuelan joint venture.

Security sales decreased $19.6 or 6.3 percent impacted by $6.1 in unfavorable currency. Approximately two-thirds of the decrease 
was related to continuing electronic security business, driven by volume declines in LA due to government mandated security 
updates in 2014. There were volume declines in AP as a result of exiting the business in Australia. Physical security was down due 
to volume declines in AP, LA and both the regional and national bank space in the U.S.

Brazil other sales included an unfavorable currency impact of $62.8 and a decrease related to deliveries of IT equipment to the 
Brazil education ministry in the prior year. Additionally, market-specific economic and political factors continue to weigh on the 
purchasing environment driving lower volume in country.

Service gross margin increased during the time period with slight improvements throughout the international regions. AP service 
gross margin increased largely due to operational efficiencies gained through organizational restructuring while EMEA was driven 
primarily by higher service parts volume with EMEA distributors. LA’s margin improvement was driven by Venezuela, which had a 
lower cost of market adjustment in 2014 that favorably affected margins between the time periods. NA experienced a declines in 
gross margin and gross profit as a result of volume and service mix. Service gross profit in 2015 and 2014 included restructuring 
charges of $3.1 and $1.3, respectively.

Product gross margin decreased during the time period due to a decline in volume and a shift in product solution mix. In addition, 
product gross margin was  adversely  impacted  by  $4.7  of  inventory  reserves related to  the  cancellation  of  certain  projects in 
connection with the current Brazil economic and political environment. Product gross profit included total restructuring charges 
and non-routine expenses of $1.6 in 2015 and net benefit of $5.2 in 2014, which was related to Brazil indirect tax reversals.

The increase in selling and administrative expense resulted primarily from higher non-routine and restructuring charges and an 
increase in the bad debt reserve of $4.6 in the third quarter of 2015 related to the cancellation of a previously awarded government 
contract in connection with the current Brazil economic and political environment, net of lower operational spend and favorable 
currency impact.

Non-routine expenses of $36.3 and $9.2 were included in 2015 and 2014, respectively. The non-routine expenses pertained to 
legal, indemnification and professional fees related to corporate monitor efforts, which was $14.7 and $9.2 in 2015 and 2014, 
respectively. Additionally,  2015  included  divestiture and  potential  acquisition  costs  of  $21.1  in  non-routine expense,  with  no 
comparable expense in 2014. Selling and administrative expense also included $16.7 and $9.7 of restructuring charges in 2015 
and 2014, respectively. Restructuring charges in 2015 and 2014 consisted of the Company's transformation and business process 
outsourcing initiative. There were additional costs in 2015 associated with executive delayering.

Research, development and engineering expense as a percent of net sales in 2015 and 2014 were relatively flat. The Company 
increased investment in 2015 related to the acquisition and integration of Phoenix as well as incremental expense associated with 
the acquisition of Cryptera, which was completed in the second half of 2014. This increase was offset by favorable currency impact 
and a decrease between the time periods mainly due to higher material and labor costs in 2014 related to the launch of new ATM 
models and enhanced modules.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company agreed to sell its equity interest in its Venezuela joint venture to its joint venture partner and 
recorded a $10.3 impairment of assets in the first quarter of 2015. On April 29, 2015, the Company closed the sale for the estimated 
fair market value and recorded a $1.0 reversal of impairment of assets based on final adjustments in the second quarter of 2015, 
resulting in a $9.3 impairment of assets. Final fair value adjustments resulted in an overall impairment of $9.7. Additionally, the 
Company recorded an impairment related to other intangibles in LA in the second quarter of 2015 and an impairment of $9.1 
related to redundant legacy Diebold internally-developed software as a result of the acquisition of Phoenix in the first quarter of 
2015 in which the carrying amounts of the assets were not recoverable.

During the second quarter of 2014, the Company divested its Eras subsidiary, resulting in a gain on sale of assets of $13.7.

result of impairments in the first half of 2015 and the gain on the sale of Eras in 2014. Improvement in service margin helped to 
partially offset these declines.

Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax

On February 1, 2016, the Company executed a definitive asset purchase agreement with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Securitas

price of approximately $350.0 in cash, 10.0 percent of which was contingent based on the successful transition of certain customer 
relationships and was paid in full in the first quarter of 2016. The Company agreed to provide certain transition services to Securitas 
Electronic Security after the closing, including providing Securitas Electronic Security a $6.0 credit for such services.

Income from discontinued operations, net of tax was $15.9 and $9.7 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. 
The operating results for the electronic security business were previously included in the Company's NA segment.

NA revenue increased due to higher FSS sales. The key drivers of this growth were higher volume in Canada from a large deposit 
automation upgrade project, increased multi-vendor services revenue in the U.S. and the acquisition of Phoenix. This was offset 
in part by decreased product volume in the U.S. in both the national and regional bank space. Physical security sales were lower 
between the time periods with volume declines in product revenue more than offsetting an increase in service. Operating profit

AP revenue in 2015 decreased from the prior year mainly as a result of a 39.4 percent decline in product revenue in China where 
the government is encouraging banks to increase their use of domestic ATM suppliers. AP revenue in 2015 was also adversely 
impacted by unfavorable currency of $19.3. These declines were partially offset by service revenue growth in a majority of the 
countries related to higher professional services and billed work volume. Operating profit decreased as a result of lower product 
volume  combined  with  higher  operating  expense,  which  was  offset  by  increased  service  margin  largely  due  to  operational 
efficiencies gained through organizational restructuring.

Belgium, Austria and the U.K. This was offset by higher product volume in the Middle East and increased service parts sales to 
distributors, as well as the benefit of the Cryptera acquisition of $8.6. Operating profit declined primarily due to the aforementioned 
currency impact as well as lower product volume and revenue mix combined with higher operating expenses due to incremental 
spend  resulting  from  the  Cryptera  acquisition.  This  was  offset  by  additional  service  revenue  associated  with  parts  sales  to  a

LA revenue decreased in 2015 compared to 2014, including a net unfavorable currency impact of $136.9. In Brazil, market-specific 
economic and political factors affecting the purchasing environment have driven lower Brazil other volume as well as a delivery 
of IT equipment to a Brazil education ministry in 2014 that was non-recurring. This was partially offset by FSS revenue growth 
related  to  product  volume,  particularly  in  Mexico  where  several  customers  are  renewing  their  install  bases.  Operating  profit 
decreased due to product volume decline in the Brazil other business and $9.3 of bad debt and inventory reserve increases primarily 
related  to  the  cancellation  of  previously  awarded  government  contracts  in  connection  with  the  Brazil  economic  and  political 
environment. Operating profit benefited from decreased operating expenses during the time period mainly related to favorable 
currency impact.

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 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, the payment of dividends on 
the Diebold Nixdorf AG ordinary shares not controlled by the Company and any repurchases of the Company’s common shares 
for at least the next 12 months. At December 31, 2016, $576.1 or 80.4 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 $142.4 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

Operating Activities. Cash flows from operating activities can fluctuate significantly from period to period as working capital needs 
and the timing of payments for income taxes, restructuring activities, pension funding and other items impact reported cash flows. 
Net cash provided by operating activities was $39.0 for the year ended December 31, 2016, an increase of $7.4 from $31.6 for 
the year ended December 31, 2015. The overall increase was primarily due to improved working capital and deferred revenue 
offset by lower income from continuing operations. Additional detail is included below:

December 31, 2015 were negatively impacted by a $230.2 decrease in income from continuing operations, net of tax,
primarily related to higher non-routine expenses, increased interest expense and impairment of assets, the adverse impact
of foreign currency compared to the same period of 2015. The increase in share-based compensation expense to $22.2
in 2016 from $12.4 in 2015 was primarily due to changes in the assumptions related to performance shares. The impairment
of assets, in the fourth quarter of 2016, related to redundant legacy Diebold internally-developed software as a result of
the Acquisition and an indefinite-lived trade name in NA.

Accounts receivable and inventory provided an aggregate of $225.2 during the year ended December 31, 2016 compared
to a use of $107.6 during the year ended December 31, 2015. The $332.8 increase is a result of a decrease in accounts
receivable related to improved timing of cash collections. Additionally, Diebold Nixdorf AG provided $163.8 based on
reductions in accounts receivable and inventory balances since the acquisition date, which included a favorable comparison
to the August acquisition date and a purchase accounting inventory revaluation adjustment of $62.7.

Deferred revenue provided $61.6 of operating cash during the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to a use of
$14.7 provided in the year ended December 31, 2015. The increase in cash flow associated with deferred revenue is due
to timing of customer prepayments, primarily on service contracts, as a result of improved billing processes compared
to the prior year.

The  aggregate  of  refundable  and  deferred  income  taxes  used  $161.9  of  operating  cash  during  the  year  ended
December 31, 2016, compared to $46.4 used in 2015. This increase in cash used in operating activities is primarily a result
of non-cash purchase accounting adjustments.

Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $923.3 for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to net cash 
used in investing activities of $62.4 for the year ended December 31, 2015. The $860.9 change was primarily related to the 2016 
payments for acquisition, net of cash acquired of $884.6 offset by the proceeds from divestitures and the sale of assets of $26.3 
and the $16.2 net proceeds from sale of the foreign currency option and forward contracts. The proceeds from divestitures and 
the sale of assets primarily related the $27.7 of cash received for the sale of stock in Aevi International GmbH and Diebold Nixdorf 
AG China subsidiaries. The prior year acquisition of Phoenix and capital expenditures were the primary uses of cash in investing.

The Company anticipates capital expenditures of approximately $100 in 2017 to be utilized in information technology, infrastructure 
and integration related investments. Currently, we finance these investments primarily with funds provided by income retained in 
the business, borrowings under the Company's committed and uncommitted credit facilities, and operating and capital leasing 
arrangements. 

Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $881.6 for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to 
net cash provided in financing activities of $42.2 for the year ended 2015, an increase of $839.4. The increase was primarily due 
to a $841.1 change in debt borrowing net of repayments, including associated debt issuance costs, related to the Acquisition 
offset by funding the $64.6 in dividend payments, compared to $75.6 in the prior year.

Benefit  Plans.  The  Company  plans  to  make  contributions  to  its  retirement  plans  of  approximately  $26.7  for  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2017. Beyond 2017, minimum statutory funding requirements for the Company's U.S. pension plans may become 
more 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. Management  monitors  assumptions  used  for  our  actuarial  projections as  well  as  any 
funding requirements for the plans.

In  connection  with  the  Acquisition,  the  Company  acquired  $625.1  of  additional  obligations  and  $524.2  of  assets  related  to 
postemployment benefit plans for certain groups of employees at the Company’s new operations outside of the U.S. Plans vary 
depending on the legal, economic, and tax environments of the respective country. For financially significant defined benefit plans, 
accruals for pensions and similar commitments have been included in the results for this year. The new significant defined benefit 
plans are mainly arranged for employees in Germany, the Netherlands and in Switzerland:

•

•

•

In Germany, post-employment benefit plans are set up as employer funded pension plans and deferred compensation
plans. The employer funded pension commitments in Germany are based upon direct performance-related commitments
in terms of defined contribution plans. Each beneficiary receives, depending on individual pay-scale grouping, contractual
classification, or income level, different yearly contributions. The contribution is multiplied by an age factor appropriate
to the respective pension plan and credited to the individual retirement account of the employee. The retirement accounts
may be used up at retirement by either a one-time lump-sum payout or payments of up to ten years. Insured events
include disability, death and reaching of retirement age.

In Switzerland, the post-employment benefit plan is required due to statutory provisions. The employees receive their
pension payments as a function of contributions paid, a fixed interest rate and annuity factors. Insured events are disability,
death and reaching of retirement age.

In the Netherlands, there is an average career salary plan, which is employer- and employee-financed and handled by an
external fund. Insured events are disability, death and reaching of retirement age. In the Netherlands, the plan assets are
currently invested in a company pension fund. During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company recognized a curtailment
gain of $4.6 related to its Netherlands' SecurCash B.V. plan due to a restructuring and cessation of accruals in the plan
as of December 31, 2016. A transfer to an industry-wide pension fund is planned for the next fiscal year.

Other financially significant defined benefit plans exist in the U.K., Belgium and France.

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 be approximately $1.2 in 
2017 (refer to note 15 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).

The Company records a curtailment when an event occurs that significantly reduces the expected years of future service or eliminates 
the accrual of defined benefits for the future services of a significant number of employees. A curtailment gain is recorded when

the  employees  who  are entitled  to  the  benefits  terminate  their  employment;  a  curtailment  loss  is  recorded when  it  becomes 
probable a loss will occur. Upon a settlement, we recognize the proportionate amount of the unamortized gains and losses if the 
cost of all settlements during the year exceeds the interest component of net periodic cost for the affected plan. Expense from 
curtailments and settlements is recorded in selling and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations.

Dividends.  The  Company  paid  dividends  of  $64.6,  $75.6  and  $74.9  in  the  years  ended  December 31,  2016,  2015  and  2014, 
respectively. Annualized dividends per share were $0.96, $1.15 and $1.15 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 
2014, respectively. The first quarterly dividend of 2017 is $0.10 per share.

Amounts  represent  estimated  contractual  interest  payments  on  outstanding  long-term  debt  and  notes  payable.  Rates  in  effect  as  of
December 31, 2016 are used for variable rate debt.

At December 31, 2016, the Company also maintained uncertain tax positions of $43.2, for which there is a high degree of uncertainty 
as to the expected timing of payments (refer to note 7 to the consolidated financial statements, which is contained in Item 8 of 
this annual report on Form 10-K).

The Company had various short-term uncommitted lines of credit with borrowing limits of $208.0 and $89.0 as of December 31, 
2016 and 2015, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate on outstanding borrowings on the short-term uncommitted lines 
of credit as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 was 9.87 percent and 5.66 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, 2016 was $198.6.

The Company entered into a revolving and term loan credit agreement (the Credit Agreement), dated as of November 23, 2015, 
among the Company and certain of the Company's subsidiaries, as borrowers, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative 
Agent, and the lenders named therein. The Credit Agreement included, among other things, mechanics for the Company’s existing 
revolving and term loan A facilities to be refinanced under the Credit Agreement. On December 23, 2015, the Company entered 
into a Replacement Facilities Effective Date Amendment, which amended the Credit Agreement, among the Company, certain of 
the Company’s subsidiaries, the lenders identified therein and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, pursuant to 
which the Company refinanced its $520.0 revolving and $230.0 term loan A senior unsecured credit facilities (which have been 
terminated  and repaid in full) with, respectively, a new unsecured revolving facility (the Revolving Facility) in an amount of up 
to $520.0 and a new (non-delayed draw) unsecured term loan A facility (the Term Loan A Facility) on substantially the same terms 
as the Delayed Draw Term Facility (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in the amount of up to $230.0. The Delayed Draw Term 
Facility of $250.0 may be drawn up to one year after the closing date of the Acquisition. The Revolving Facility and Term Loan A 
Facility are subject to the same maximum consolidated net leverage ratio and minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio as 
the  Delayed  Draw  Term Facility.  On  December  23,  2020,  the  Term Loan  A  Facility  will  mature and  the  Revolving  Facility  will 
automatically terminate. The weighted-average interest rate on outstanding revolving credit facility borrowings as of December 31, 
2016 and December 31, 2015 was 2.56 percent and 2.33 percent, respectively, which is variable based on the London Interbank 
Offered Rate (LIBOR). The amount available under the revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2016 was $520.0.

On  April 19,  2016,  the  Company  issued  $400.0  aggregate principal  amount  of  2024  Senior  Notes  in  an  offering, which  were 
registered with the SEC in October 2016 in connection with the Acquisition. The 2024 Senior Notes are and will be guaranteed 
by certain of the Company’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries.

Also in April 2016, allocation and pricing of the term loan B facility (the Term Loan B Facility) provided under the Credit Agreement 
(which the Term Loan B Facility was used to provide part of the financing for the Acquisition) was completed. The Term Loan B 
Facility consists of a $1,000.0 U.S. dollar-denominated tranche that bears interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 4.50 
percent (or, at the Company’s option, prime plus an applicable margin of 3.50 percent), and a €350.0 euro-denominated tranche 
that will bear interest at the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (EURIBOR) plus an applicable margin of 4.25 percent. Each tranche was

funded during the second quarter of 2016 at 99 percent of par. In November 2016, the Company repaid $200.0 of the outstanding 
debt from the Term Loan B Facility - USD.

On May 6 and August 16, 2016, the Company entered into the Second and Third Amendments to the Credit Agreement, which 
re-denominated  a  portion  of  the  Term Loan  B  Facility  into  euros  and  guaranteed  the  prompt  and  complete  payment  and 
performance of the obligations when due under the Credit Agreement. On February 14, 2017, the Company entered into the 
Fourth  Amendment  to  the  Credit  Agreement which  released certain  restrictions  on  the  Delayed  Draw  Term Loan  A  effective 
immediately.

The Credit Agreement financial ratios at December 31, 2016 are as follows:

•

•

a maximum total net debt to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) leverage
ratio of 4.50 as of December 31, 2016 (reducing to 4.25 on December 31, 2017, further reduced to 4.00 on December
31, 2018, and further reduced to 3.75 on June 30, 2019); and
a minimum adjusted EBITDA to net interest expense coverage ratio of not less than 3.00

The key affirmative and negative covenants of the Credit Agreement include:

Affirmative Covenants

Negative Covenants - Limitations on

pay principal and interest on time

mandatory prepayments

merger, consolidation and fundamental changes

sale of assets

timely financial reporting (including compliance certificate)

investments and acquisitions

use of proceeds

notice of defaults

Mandatory prepayments are required if the outstanding revolving loans or facility letters of credit exceed the aggregate revolving 
credit commitments, including due to currency fluctuations if difference is greater than 105 percent, the excess loans must be 
repaid or facility letters of credit must be cash collateralized. Voluntary prepayments require one business day notice for floating 
rate loans in $1.0 or multiples thereof and three business days for euro currency rate loans in $5.0 or $1.0 multiples thereof. There 
is a prepayment premium with respect to the Term B Facility only. Until May 6, 2017, if there is a repricing event, where the Term 
B Facility is refinanced or amended to reduce the yield, there is a prepayment premium of 1.00 percent refinanced or amended. 
Other mandatory prepayments include incurrence of new debt outside what is allowed in the Credit Agreement, sale of certain 
assets beyond a de-minimis exception amount and depending on the net debt leverage, a percentage of "Excess Cash Flows" 
as defined in the Credit Agreement beginning with 2017 cash flows. 

The Company incurred $39.2 and $6.0 of fees in the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, related to the Credit 
Agreement and 2024 Senior Notes, which are amortized as a component of interest expense over the terms.

The debt facilities under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries 
that are borrowers or guarantors under the Credit Agreement, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens.

In March 2006, the Company issued senior notes (2006 Senior Notes) in an aggregate principal amount of $300.0. The Company 
funded the repayment of $75.0 aggregate principal amount of the 2006 Senior Notes at maturity in March 2013 using borrowings 
under its revolving credit facility and the repayment of $175.0 aggregate principal amount of the 2006 Senior Notes that matured 
in March 2016 through the use of proceeds from the divestiture of the Company's NA electronic security business. Prepayment 
of the remaining $50.0 aggregate principal amount of the 2006 Senior Notes were paid in full on May 2, 2016. The prepayment 
included a make-whole premium of $3.9, which was paid in addition to the principal and interest of the 2006 Senior Notes and is 
included in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2016.

On November 23, 2015, the Company entered into two foreign currency option contracts to purchase €1,416.0 for $1,547.1 to 
hedge against the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on the euro-denominated cash consideration related to the Acquisition and 
estimated euro-denominated transaction related costs and any outstanding Diebold Nixdorf AG borrowings. At that time, the 
euro-denominated cash  component  of  the  purchase price  consideration  approximated €1,162.2.  The  foreign currency option 
contracts were sold during the second quarter of 2016 for cash proceeds of $42.6, which are included in investing activities in the 
consolidated statements of cash flows, resulting in a gain of $35.6 during the year ended December 31, 2016 and $7.0 during the 
fourth quarter of 2015. The weighted average strike price was $1.09 per euro. These foreign currency option contracts were non-
designated and included in other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 based on the net 
asset position.

On April 29, 2016, the Company entered into one foreign currency forward contract to purchase €713.0 for $820.9 to hedge 
against  the  effect  of  exchange  rate  fluctuations  on  the  euro-denominated  cash  consideration  related  to  the  Acquisition  and 
estimated euro denominated transaction related costs and any outstanding Diebold Nixdorf AG borrowings. The forward rate was 
$1.1514. The foreign currency forward contract was settled for $792.6 during the third quarter of 2016, which is included in investing 
activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows, resulting in a loss of $26.4 during the year ended December 31, 2016. This 
foreign currency forward contract is non-designated and included in other current assets or other current liabilities based on the 
net asset or net liability position, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets. The gains and losses from the revaluation of 
the foreign currency forward contract are included in other income (expense) miscellaneous, net on the consolidated statements 
of operations.

During November 2016, the Company entered into multiple pay-fixed receive-variable interest rate swaps outstanding with an 
aggregate notional amount of $400.0.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in 
accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged 
forecasted transaction affects earnings. During the fourth quarter of 2016, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash 
flows associated with existing variable-rate debt. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized 
directly in earnings.

Amounts reported in AOCI related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the 
Company’s variable-rate debt. The Company estimates that an additional $0.8 will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense 
over the next year.

In connection with the Acquisition, the Company acquired an interest swap for a notional amount of €50.0, which was entered 
into in May 2010 with a ten-year term from October 1, 2010 until September 30, 2020. For this interest swap, the three-month

EURIBOR is received and a fixed interest of 2.974 percent is paid. The fair value, which is measured at market prices. On the date 
of the Acquisition and as of December 31, 2016, the fair value was €(7.9) and €(6.3), respectively. Because this swap was accounted 
for as a cash flow hedge, the change in fair value of €1.6 was directly recognized in AOCI, having taken into account deferred 
taxes. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the amount reclassified from equity to profit or loss was not significant. 

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company recorded a $9.3 mark-to-market gain (loss) on foreign currency and 
forward option contracts reflected in miscellaneous, net. The fair value of the Company's foreign currency forward and option 
contracts was $7.0 as of December 31, 2015 and was included in other current assets. 

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 16 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, customers, regulatory agencies and insurance providers. If the Company is not able to comply with its 
contractual obligations, the suppliers, regulatory agencies and insurance providers may draw on the pertinent bank (refer note 17 
to the consolidated financial statements, which is contained in Item 8 of this annual report on Form 10-K). 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 9 to the consolidated financial statements, which is contained in Item 8 of this annual report on Form 10-K). 

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, long-lived assets, taxes on income, contingencies 
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’s revenue recognition policy  is  consistent  with  the  requirements of  Financial  Accounting 
Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 605, Revenue Recognition (ASC 605). 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 
FASB 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, until the adoption of the new revenue standard. 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.

Acquisitions and Divestitures. Acquisitions are accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. This method requires the 
Company to record assets and liabilities of the business acquired at their estimated fair market values as of the acquisition date. 
Any excess cost of the acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The Company generally 
uses valuation specialists to perform appraisals and assist in the determination of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities 
assumed. These valuations require management to make estimates and assumptions that are critical in determining the fair values 
of the assets and liabilities.

For divestitures, the Company considers assets to be held for sale when management approves and commits to a formal plan to 
actively market the assets for sale at a price reasonable in relation to their estimated fair value, the assets are available for immediate 
sale in their present condition, an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the sale have been 
initiated, the sale of the assets is probable and expected to be completed within one year (or, if it is expected that others will 
impose  conditions  on  the  sale  of  the  assets  that  will  extend  the  period  required to  complete  the  sale,  that  a  firm  purchase 
commitment is probable within one year) and it is unlikely that significant changes will be made to the plan. Upon designation as 
held for sale, the Company records the assets at the lower of their carrying value or their estimated fair value, reduced for the cost 
to dispose of the assets, and ceases to record depreciation expense on the assets.

The Company reports financial results for discontinued operations separately from continuing operations to distinguish the financial 
impact a divestiture from ongoing operations. Discontinued operations reporting occurs only when the disposal of a component 
or a group of components of the Company represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company's operations 
and financial results. During the year ended December 31, 2015, management of the Company, through receipt in October 2015 
of the required authorization from its Board of Directors after a potential buyer had been identified, committed to a plan to divest 
the NA electronic security business. As such, all of the criteria required for held for sale and discontinued operations classification 
were met during the fourth quarter of 2015. The divestiture of its NA electronic security business closed on February 1, 2016. 
Accordingly, the assets and liabilities, operating results and operating and investing cash flows for are presented as discontinued 
operations  separate  from  the  Company’s continuing  operations  for  all  periods  presented.  Prior  period  information  has  been 
reclassified to present this business as discontinued operations for all periods presented, and has therefore been excluded from 
both continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements and the notes 
to the consolidated financial statements. All assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are included in total current assets based 
on the cash conversion of these assets and liabilities within one year (refer to note 23 to the consolidated financial statements, 
which is contained in Item 8 of this annual report on Form 10-K). 

Assets and liabilities of a discontinued operation are reclassified as held for sale for all comparative periods presented in the 
consolidated balance sheet. The results of operations of a discontinued operation are reclassified to income from discontinued 
operations, net of tax, for all periods presented. For assets that meet the held for sale criteria but do not meet the definition of a 
discontinued operation, the Company reclassifies the assets and liabilities in the period in which the held for sale criteria are met, 
but does not reclassify prior period amounts.

Goodwill. Goodwill is the cost in excess of the net assets of acquired businesses (refer to note 13 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 October 31 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 four reporting units are defined as Domestic and Canada, 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 of the reporting units is determined 
based upon a combination of the income valuation and market approach in valuation methodology. The income approach uses 
discounted estimated future cash flows, whereas the market approach or guideline public company method utilizes market data 
of similar publicly traded companies. 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 incorporate 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 20 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 2016, management determined that the LA and AP reporting units had excess fair value of approximately $65.8 or 18.3 
percent and approximately $56.1 or 21.5 percent, respectively, when compared to their carrying amounts. The Domestic and 
Canada reporting unit, included in the NA reportable segment, had excess fair value greater than 100 percent when compared 
to its carrying amount. As of December 31, 2016, the LA and AP reporting units had goodwill of approximately $28.6 and $37.2, 
respectively. A further change in macroeconomic conditions, as well as future changes in the judgments, assumptions and estimates 
that are used in the Company's goodwill impairment testing for the LA and AP reporting units, including the discount rate and 
future cash flow projections, could result in a significantly different estimate of the fair value. EMEA had no net goodwill as of 
December 31, 2016.

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. The Company tests all existing indefinite-lived intangibles at least annually for impairment as of October 31.

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

(dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

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.

In  connection  with  the  Acquisition,  the  Company  acquired  $625.1  of  additional  obligations  and  $524.2  of  assets  related  to 
postemployment benefit plans for certain groups of employees at the Company’s new operations outside of the U.S. Plans vary 
depending on the legal, economic, and tax environments of the respective country. For financially significant defined benefit plans, 
accruals for pensions and similar commitments have been included in the results for this year. The new significant defined benefit 
plans are mainly arranged for employees in Germany, the Netherlands and in Switzerland:

•

In Germany, post-employment benefit plans are set up as employer funded pension plans and deferred compensation
plans. The employer funded pension commitments in Germany are based upon direct performance-related commitments
in terms of defined contribution plans. Each beneficiary receives, depending on individual pay-scale grouping, contractual
classification, or income level, different yearly contributions. The contribution is multiplied by an age factor appropriate
to the respective pension plan and credited to the individual retirement account of the employee. The retirement accounts
may be used up at retirement by either a one-time lump-sum payout or payments of up to ten years. Insured events
include disability, death and reaching of retirement age.

In Switzerland, the post-employment benefit plan is required due to statutory provisions. The employees receive their
pension payments as a function of contributions paid, a fixed interest rate and annuity factors. Insured events are disability,
death and reaching of retirement age.

In the Netherlands, there is an average career salary plan, which is employer- and employee-financed and handled by an
external fund. Insured events are disability, death and reaching of retirement age. In the Netherlands, the plan assets are
currently invested in a company pension fund. During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company recognized a curtailment
gain of $4.6 related to its Netherlands' SecurCash B.V. plan due to a restructuring and cessation of accruals in the plan
as of December 31, 2016. A transfer to an industry-wide pension fund is planned for the next fiscal year.

Other financially significant defined benefit plans exist in the U.K., Belgium and France.

The healthcare trend rates for the postemployment benefits plans in the U.S. are reviewed based upon the results of actual claims 
experience. The Company used initial healthcare cost trends of 7.0 percent in both 2016 and 2015 . While the ultimate trend rate 
was 5.0 percent in both years, the period of time to reach the ultimate was extended from 2015 to 2016.Assumed healthcare cost 
trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the healthcare plans.

During 2016, the Society of Actuaries released a series of updated mortality tables resulting from recent studies measuring mortality 
rates for various groups of individuals. As of December 31, 2016, the Company adopted for the pension plan in the U.S. the use 
of the RP-2014 base mortality table modified to remove the post-2006 projections using the MP-2014 mortality improvement scale 
and replacing it with projections using the fully generational MP-2016 projection scale. For the plans outside the U.S., the mortality 
tables used are those either required or customary for local accounting and/or funding purposes.

ITEM 7A: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
(dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

In 2015, the Company's Venezuelan operations consisted of a fifty-percent owned subsidiary, which was consolidated. Venezuela 
financial results were measured using the U.S. dollar as its functional currency because its economy is considered highly inflationary. 
On March 24, 2014, the Venezuelan government announced a currency exchange mechanism, SICAD 2, which yielded an exchange 
rate significantly higher than the rates established through the other regulated exchange mechanisms. Management determined 
that it was unlikely that the Company would be able to convert bolivars under a currency exchange other than SICAD 2. On March 
31, 2014, the Company remeasured its Venezuelan balance sheet using the SICAD 2 rate of 50.86 compared to the previous official 
government rate of 6.30, resulting in a decrease of $6.1 to the Company’s cash balance and net losses of $12.1 that were recorded 
within foreign exchange gain (loss), net in the consolidated statements of operations in the first quarter of 2014. In addition, as a 
result of the currency devaluation, the Company recorded a $4.1 lower of cost or market adjustment related to its service inventory 
within service cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations in the first quarter of 2014. The Company's Venezuelan 
operations represented less than one percent of the Company's total assets as of December 31, 2014. On February 10, 2015, the 
Venezuela government introduced a new foreign currency exchange platform called the Marginal Currency System, or SIMADI, 
which  replaced  the  SICAD  2  mechanism,  yielding  another  significant  increase  in  the  exchange  rate.  As  of  March  31,  2015, 
management determined it was unlikely that the Company would be able to convert bolivars under a currency exchange other 
than SIMADI and remeasured its Venezuela balance sheet using the SIMADI rate of 192.95 compared to the previous SICAD 2 
rate of 50.86, which resulted in a loss of $7.5 recorded within foreign exchange gain (loss), net in the condensed consolidated 
statements of operations in the first quarter of 2015.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company agreed to sell its equity interest in its Venezuela joint venture to its joint venture partner and 
recorded a $10.3 impairment of assets in the first quarter of 2015. On April 29, 2015, the Company closed the sale for the estimated 
fair market value and recorded a $1.0 reversal of impairment of assets based on final adjustments in the second quarter of 2015, 
resulting in a $9.3 impairment of assets for the six months ended June 30, 2015. During the remainder of 2015, the Company 
incurred an additional $0.4 related to uncollectible accounts receivable which is included in selling and administrative expenses 
on the consolidated statements of operations.

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 2016 and 2015 year-to-date operating profit of approximately $3.6 and $5.0, 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, Great Britain pound sterling, Canada dollar, Brazil real and Chinese 
yuan renminbi. 

On November 23, 2015, the Company entered into two foreign currency option contracts to purchase €1,416.0 for $1,547.1 to 
hedge against the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on the euro-denominated cash consideration related to the Acquisition and 
estimated euro-denominated transaction related costs and any outstanding Diebold Nixdorf AG borrowings. At that time, the 
euro-denominated cash  component  of  the  purchase price  consideration  approximated €1,162.2.  The  foreign currency option 
contracts were sold during the second quarter of 2016 for cash proceeds of $42.6, which are included in investing activities in the 
consolidated statements of cash flows, resulting in a gain of $35.6 during the year ended December 31, 2016 and $7.0 during the 
fourth quarter of 2015. The weighted average strike price was $1.09 per euro. These foreign currency option contracts were non-
designated and included in other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 based on the net 
asset position.

On April 29, 2016, the Company entered into one foreign currency forward contract to purchase €713.0 for $820.9 to hedge 
against  the  effect  of  exchange  rate  fluctuations  on  the  euro-denominated  cash  consideration  related  to  the  Acquisition  and 
estimated euro denominated transaction related costs and any outstanding Diebold Nixdorf AG borrowings. The forward rate was 
$1.1514. The foreign currency forward contract was settled for $792.6 during the third quarter of 2016, which is included in investing 
activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows, resulting in a loss of $26.4 during the year ended December 31, 2016. This 
foreign currency forward contract was non-designated and was included in other current assets or other current liabilities based 
on the net asset or net liability position, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets. The gains and losses from the revaluation 
of the foreign currency forward contract are included in other income (expense) miscellaneous, net on the consolidated statements 
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 $1,460.0 and $420.9 of which $452.6 
and $25.0 were effectively converted to fixed rate using interest rate swaps at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. A one 
percentage point increase or decrease in interest rates would have resulted in an increase or decrease in interest expense of 

49

approximately $10.1 and $4.0 for 2016 and 2015, 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.

December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), equity, and 
cash flows for each of the years in the 
period ended December 31, 2016. In connection with our audits of the consolidated 
financial statements, we also have audited financial statement schedule, Schedule II “Valuation and Qualifying Accounts.” These 
consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our 
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and 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 Nixdorf, Incorporated and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of their operations and their 
cash flows for each of the years in the 
period ended December 31, 2016, 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, present 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), 
Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on criteria established 
in  Internal  Control  -  Integrated  Framework  (2013)  issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the  Treadway 
Commission  (COSO),  and  our  report  dated  February 24,  2017  expressed  an  unqualified  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 Nixdorf, Incorporated:

We have audited Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on 
criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of 
the Treadway Commission (COSO). Diebold Nixdorf, 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 Diebold 
Nixdorf,  Incorporated’s December 31,  2016  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.

In our opinion, Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting 
as of December 31, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee 
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

On August 15, 2016, Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated (formerly Diebold, Incorporated) acquired 69.2 percent of the total number 
of Diebold Nixdorf Aktiengesellschaft (formerly Wincor Nixdorf Aktiengesellschaft) ordinary shares inclusive of treasury shares of 
Diebold  Nixdorf  Aktiengesellschaft,  and  management  excluded  from  its  assessment  of  the  effectiveness  of  Diebold  Nixdorf, 
Incorporated’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, Diebold Nixdorf Aktiengesellschaft’s internal 
control over financial reporting associated with total assets of $2,753.0 million and total revenues of $1,054.8 million included in 
the consolidated financial statements of Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016. Our 
audit of internal control over financial reporting of Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated also excluded an evaluation of the internal control 
over financial reporting of Diebold Nixdorf Aktiengesellschaft.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the 
consolidated balance sheets of Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, 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,  2016,  and  our  report dated  February  24,  2017  expressed an  unqualified  opinion  on  those 
consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Diebold Nixdorf, 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, 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's financial results, which are measured using the currency exchange 
mechanism, SICAD 2. 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.

Venezuelan Currency Devaluation. In 2015, the Company's Venezuelan operations consisted of a fifty-percent owned subsidiary, 
which was consolidated. Venezuela financial results were measured using the U.S. dollar as its functional currency because its 
economy  is  considered highly  inflationary.  On  March 24,  2014,  the  Venezuelan government  announced  a  currency exchange 
mechanism, SICAD 2, which yielded an exchange rate significantly higher than the rates established through the other regulated 
exchange mechanisms. Management determined that it was unlikely that the Company would be able to convert bolivars under 
a currency exchange other than SICAD 2. On March 31, 2014, the Company remeasured its Venezuelan balance sheet using the 
SICAD 2 rate of 50.86 compared to the previous official government rate of 6.30, resulting in a decrease of $6.1 to the Company’s 
cash balance and net losses of $12.1 that were recorded within foreign exchange gain (loss), net in the consolidated statements 
of operations in the first quarter of 2014. In addition, as a result of the currency devaluation, the Company recorded a $4.1 lower 
of cost or market adjustment related to its service inventory within service cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations 
in  2014.  On  February  10,  2015,  the  Venezuela government  introduced  a  new  foreign currency exchange  platform  called  the 
Marginal Currency System, or SIMADI, which replaced the SICAD 2 mechanism, yielding another significant increase in the exchange 
rate. As of March 31, 2015, management determined it was unlikely that the Company would be able to convert bolivars under a 
currency exchange other than SIMADI and remeasured its Venezuela balance sheet using the SIMADI rate of 192.95 compared to 
the  previous SICAD  2  rate  of  50.86,  which  resulted in  a  loss  of  $7.5  recorded within  foreign exchange  gain  (loss),  net  in  the 
consolidated statements of operations in the first quarter of 2015.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company agreed to sell its equity interest in its Venezuela joint venture to its joint venture partner and 
recorded a $10.3 impairment of assets in the first quarter of 2015. On April 29, 2015, the Company closed the sale for the estimated 
fair market value and recorded a $1.0 reversal of impairment of assets based on final adjustments in the second quarter of 2015, 
resulting in a $9.3 impairment of assets for the six months ended June 30, 2015. During the remainder of 2015, the Company 
incurred an additional $0.4 related to uncollectible accounts receivable which is included in selling and administrative expenses 
on the consolidated statements of operations.

Acquisitions and Divestitures. Acquisitions are accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. This method requires the 
Company to record assets and liabilities of the business acquired at their estimated fair market values as of the acquisition date. 
Any excess cost of the acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The Company generally 
uses valuation specialists to perform appraisals and assist in the determination of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities 
assumed. These valuations require management to make estimates and assumptions that are critical in determining the fair values 
of the assets and liabilities.

For divestitures, the Company considers assets to be held for sale when management approves and commits to a formal plan to 
actively market the assets for sale at a price reasonable in relation to their estimated fair value, the assets are available for immediate 
sale in their present condition, an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the sale have been 
initiated, the sale of the assets is probable and expected to be completed within one year (or, if it is expected that others will

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

impose  conditions  on  the  sale  of  the  assets  that  will  extend  the  period  required to  complete  the  sale,  that  a  firm  purchase 
commitment is probable within one year) and it is unlikely that significant changes will be made to the plan. Upon designation as 
held for sale, the Company records the assets at the lower of their carrying value or their estimated fair value, reduced for the cost 
to dispose of the assets, and ceases to record depreciation expense on the assets.

The Company reports financial results for discontinued operations separately from continuing operations to distinguish the financial 
impact of a divestiture from ongoing operations. Discontinued operations reporting occurs only when the disposal of a component 
or a group of components of the Company represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company's operations 
and financial results. During the year ended December 31, 2015, management of the Company, through receipt in October 2015 
of the required authorization from its Board of Directors after a potential buyer had been identified, committed to a plan to divest 
its NA electronic security business. As such, all of the criteria required for held for sale and discontinued operations classification 
were met during the fourth quarter of 2015. The divestiture of its NA electronic security business closed on February 1, 2016. 
Accordingly, the assets and liabilities, operating results and operating and investing cash flows for are presented as discontinued 
operations separate from the Company’s continuing operations for all periods presented. All assets and liabilities classified as held 
for sale are included in total current assets based on the cash conversion of these assets and liabilities within one year (refer to 
note 23). 

Assets and liabilities of a discontinued operation are reclassified as held for sale for all comparative periods presented in the 
consolidated balance sheet. The results of operations of a discontinued operation are reclassified to income from discontinued 
operations, net of tax, for all periods presented. For assets that meet the held for sale criteria but do not meet the definition of a 
discontinued operation, the Company reclassifies the assets and liabilities in the period in which the held for sale criteria are met, 
but does not reclassify prior period amounts.

Realignment. In the first quarter 2015, the Company announced the realignment of its Brazil and LA businesses to drive greater 
efficiency and further improve customer service. Beginning with the first quarter of 2015, LA and Brazil operations were reported 
under one single reportable operating segment and comparative periods have been reclassified for consistency. The presentation 
of comparative periods also reflects the reclassification of certain global expenses from segment operating profit to corporate 
charges not allocated to segments due to the 2015 realignment activities.

Reclassification.  The  Company  has  reclassified  the  presentation  of  certain  prior-year  information  to  conform  to  the  current 
presentation. 

Revenue Recognition. The Company’s revenue recognition policy is consistent with the requirements of 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 the North America region, 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 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 VSOE (price 
when sold on a stand-alone basis), if available, or TPE, if VSOE is not available, or 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 with separately priced extended warranty and product maintenance, these services 
are typically accounted for under FASB ASC 605-20, Separately Priced Extended Warranty and Product Maintenance Contracts 
where stated price is recognized ratably over the period.

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 software elements as 

61

DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
FORM 10-K as of December 31, 2016
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(in millions, except per share amounts)

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 & Managed Service Revenue FSS products are primarily 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 & Managed Service 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. The Company has included the net sales from its NA electronic security business as 
discontinued operations. 

Retail Products & Managed Service Revenue The Company provides hardware, software and IT services ensuring the maximum 
availability and adaption of integrated installed IT software and systems. Key elements are programmable ePOS systems or self-
checkout systems related to the customer's checkout area.

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. 

Brazil Other The Company offers election and lottery systems product solutions and support to the Brazil 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. 

Cost of Sales. Cost of products sales is primarily comprised of direct materials and supplies consumed in the manufacturing and 
distribution of products, as well as related labor, depreciation expense and direct overhead expense necessary to acquire and 
convert the purchased materials and supplies into finished products. Cost of products sales also includes the cost to distribute 
products to customers, inbound freight costs, internal transfer costs, warehousing costs and other shipping and handling activity. 
Cost of services sold is primarily consists of fuel, parts and labor and benefits costs related to installation of products and service 
maintenance contracts, including call center costs as well as costs for service parts repair centers.

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. Generally. 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. Certain technology assets related to the Acquisition utilize a double-declining method.

Advertising Costs. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and were $14.0, $11.6 and $16.7 in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

62

DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
FORM 10-K as of December 31, 2016
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(in millions, except per share amounts)

Research, Development  and  Engineering.  Research, development  and  engineering  costs  are expensed  as  incurred and  were 
$110.2, $86.9 and $93.6 in 2016, 2015 and 2014, 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, short term investments, 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 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.

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

Valuation technique

Description

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:

Fair value level

Description

Level 1

Level 2

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

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. 

A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to 
the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company uses the end of period when determining the timing of transfers between 
levels. 

Short-Term Investments The Company has investments in certificates of deposit that are recorded at cost, which approximates 
fair value.

(in millions, except per share amounts)

Assets Held in Rabbi Trusts / Deferred Compensation The fair value of the assets held in rabbi trusts (refer to note 8 and 15) is 
derived from investments in a mix of money market, fixed income and equity funds managed by Bank of America/Merrill Lynch. 
The related deferred compensation liability is recorded at fair value.

Foreign Exchange Contracts The valuation of foreign exchange forward and option contracts is determined  using valuation 
techniques, including option models tailored for currency derivatives. These contracts are valued using the market approach 
based on observable market inputs. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, 
and uses observable market-based inputs, including spot rates, foreign currency forward rates, the interest rate curve of the 
domestic currency, and foreign currency volatility for the given currency pair.

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. 

Option Contracts A put option gives the purchaser of the option the right to sell, and the writer of the option the 
obligation to buy, the underlying security at any time during the option period. A call option gives the purchaser of 
the option the right to buy, and the writer of the option the obligation to sell, the underlying security at any time during 
the option period. These foreign exchange option contracts are non-designated and are included in other current assets 
or other current liabilities based on the net asset or net liability position, respectively, in our consolidated balance 
sheets.  The  gain  or  loss  on  these  non-designated  derivative  instruments  is  reflected  in  other  income  (expense) 
miscellaneous, net in our consolidated statements of operations. Changes in foreign exchange rates between the U.S 
dollar and euro can create substantial gains and losses from the revaluation of the derivative instrument. 

Interest Rate Swaps The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to 
manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps 
as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of 
variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements 
without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

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 impairment review appear in note 13.

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.

Refer to note 20 for further details of assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurement.

Trade Receivables. The Company evaluates the collectability of trade receivables based on a percentage of sales related to historical 
loss experience and current trends. 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. 

Inventories. The Company primarily values inventories at the lower of cost or market. 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 13). The Company tests all existing 
goodwill at least annually for impairment on a reporting unit basis. In 2016 and 2015, the annual goodwill impairment test was 
performed as of October 31 compared to November 30 in prior years for administrative improvements. 

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, 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 of the reporting units is determined 
based upon a combination of the income valuation and market approach in valuation methodology. The income approach uses 
discounted estimated future cash flows, whereas the market approach or guideline public company method utilizes market data 
of similar publicly traded companies. 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 incorporate 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,  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.

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. The Company tests all existing indefinite-lived intangibles at least annually for impairment as of October 31. 

Fully depreciated assets are retained until disposal. Upon disposal, assets and related accumulated depreciation or amortization 
are removed from the accounts and the net amount, less proceeds from disposal, is charged or credited to operations.

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

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

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.

In  connection  with  the  Acquisition,  the  Company  acquired  $625.1  of  additional  obligations  and  $524.2  of  assets  related  to 
postemployment benefit plans for certain groups of employees at the Company’s new operations outside of the U.S. Plans vary 
depending on the legal, economic, and tax environments of the respective country. For financially significant defined benefit plans, 
accruals for pensions and similar commitments have been included in the results for this year. The new significant defined benefit 
plans are mainly arranged for employees in Germany, the Netherlands and in Switzerland:

•

•

•

In Germany, post-employment benefit plans are set up as employer funded pension plans and deferred compensation
plans. The employer funded pension commitments in Germany are based upon direct performance-related commitments
in terms of defined contribution plans. Each beneficiary receives, depending on individual pay-scale grouping, contractual
classification, or income level, different yearly contributions. The contribution is multiplied by an age factor appropriate
to the respective pension plan and credited to the individual retirement account of the employee. The retirement accounts
may be used up at retirement by either a one-time lump-sum payout or payments of up to ten years. Insured events
include disability, death and reaching of retirement age.

In Switzerland, the post-employment benefit plan is required due to statutory provisions. The employees receive their
pension payments as a function of contributions paid, a fixed interest rate and annuity factors. Insured events are disability,
death and reaching of retirement age.

In the Netherlands, there is an average career salary plan, which is employer- and employee-financed and handled by an
external fund. Insured events are disability, death and reaching of retirement age. In the Netherlands, the plan assets are
currently invested in a company pension fund. During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company recognized a curtailment
gain of $4.6 related to its Netherlands' SecurCash B.V. plan due to a restructuring and cessation of accruals in the plan
as of December 31, 2016. A transfer to an industry-wide pension fund is planned for the next fiscal year.

Other financially significant defined benefit plans exist in the U.K., Belgium and France.

The Company recognizes the funded status of each of its plans in the consolidated balance sheets. 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.

The Company records a curtailment when an event occurs that significantly reduces the expected years of future service or eliminates 
the accrual of defined benefits for the future services of a significant number of employees. A curtailment gain is recorded when 
the  employees  who  are entitled  to  the  benefits  terminate  their  employment;  a  curtailment  loss  is  recorded when  it  becomes 
probable a loss will occur. Upon a settlement, we recognize the proportionate amount of the unamortized gains and losses if the 
cost of all settlements during the year exceeds the interest component of net periodic cost for the affected plan. Expense from 
curtailments and settlements is recorded in selling and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations.

Noncontrolling Interests and Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests. Noncontrolling interests represent the portion of profit or 
loss, net assets and comprehensive income that is not allocable to the Company. In 2016, net income attributable to noncontrolling 
interests primarily represents guaranteed dividends that the Company is obligated to pay to the noncontrolling shareholders of 
Diebold Nixdorf AG. Noncontrolling interests with redemption features, such as put rights, that are not solely within the Company’s 
control are considered redeemable noncontrolling interests. Redeemable noncontrolling interests are presented outside of equity

on our consolidated balance sheets. The balance of redeemable noncontrolling interests is reported at the greater of its carrying 
value or its maximum redemption value at each reporting date. Refer to note 3 for more information.

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest: Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs 
(ASU 2015-03), which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as 
a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The standard was effective for 
the Company on January 1, 2016. The adoption of recent debt guidance resulted in $64.5 of debt issuance costs included in long-
term debt as of December 31, 2016 and a reclassification of $6.9 from other assets to long-term debt as of December 31, 2015.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (ASU 
2015-17). This amendment requires the presentation of deferred tax assets and liabilities to be categorized as noncurrent on the 
balance sheet, instead of being classified as current or noncurrent. The Company adopted of ASU 2015-17 as of December 31, 
2016 using the prospective method whereas the prior year was not adjusted.

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), which requires an entity to 
recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. 
The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. In March 2016, the 
FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting 
Revenue Gross versus Net) (ASU 2016-08). The FASB issued the amendment to clarify the implementation guidance on principal 
versus agent considerations. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): 
Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing (ASU 2016-10). The FASB issued the amendment to clarify the following two 
aspects of Topic 606: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related 
principles for those areas. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-11, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and Derivatives and 
Hedging (Topic 815): Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of Accounting Standards Updates 2014-09 and 2014-16 Pursuant to 
Staff Announcements at the March 3, 2016 EITF Meeting (ASU 2016-11). The FASB issued the amendment to rescind the following 
aspects of Topic 606. Specifically, registrants should not rely on the following SEC Staff Observer comments upon adoption of 
Topic 606:  Revenue  and  Expense  Recognition  for  Freight  Services  in  Process,  which  is  codified  in  paragraph  605-20-S99-2; 
Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs, which is codified in paragraph 605-45-S99-1; Accounting for Consideration 
Given  by  a  Vendor to  a  Customer  (including  Reseller  of  the  Vendor’s Products), which  is  codified  in  paragraph  605-50-S99-1; 
Accounting for Gas-Balancing Arrangements (that is, use of the “entitlements method”), which is codified in paragraph 932-10-
S99-5. Additionally in May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying 
Performance Obligations and Licensing: Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients (ASU 2016-12). The FASB issued 
the amendment to improve Topic 606 by reducing the potential for diversity in practice at initial application and reducing the cost 
and complexity of applying Topic 606 both at transition and on an ongoing basis. 

The standard along with its amendments are effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. Early application was permitted on 
the original adoption date of January 1, 2017. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or modified retrospective 
(cumulative effect) transition method and we have not yet selected which transition method we will apply.

In 2015, we established a cross-functional steering committee and project implementation team to assess the impact of the standard 
on our legacy revenue from contracts with customers. We utilized a bottoms-up approach to assess and document the impact of 
the  standard  on  our  contract  portfolio  by  reviewing  our  current  accounting  policies  and  practices  against  application  of  the 
requirements of the new standard to identify potential differences. A broad-scope contract analysis was carried out to substantiate 
the results of the assessment and a business process, systems and controls review was performed to identify necessary changes 
to support recognition and disclosure under the new standard.

The implementation team has reported the findings and progress of the project to management and the Audit Committee on a 
frequent basis over the last year. In late 2016, the impact assessment was expanded to include Diebold Nixdorf AG revenue from 
contracts  with  customers.  The  Company's  initial  assessment  indicates  potential  for  accelerated  timing  of  revenue recognition 
related to product shipments. The Company will continue its evaluation and assessment on the impact on the financial statements 
and related disclosures. 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement 
of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (ASU 2016-01). This amendment requires equity investments (except those accounted 
for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with 
changes in fair value recognized in net income. The amendment simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without 
readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment. It eliminates the requirement for 

67

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

public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to 
be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet. The amendment requires public business 
entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. Additionally, 
the update requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value 
of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair 
value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments and requires an entity to separate presentation of financial 
assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (that is, securities or loans and receivables) on 
the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements. The standard is effective for the Company on December 
15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 is not expected to have a material impact on the financial 
statements of the Company.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The FASB issued the update to require the recognition of 
lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet of lessees. The standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 
15, 2018, including interim periods within such fiscal years. The ASU requires a modified retrospective transition method with the 
option to elect a package of practical expedients. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 
2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. 

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. This update requires 
that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally 
described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash would be 
included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the 
statement of cash flows. This amendment is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, 
including interim periods. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2016-18 is not expected to have a material impact 
on the Company.

NOTE 2: ACQUISITIONS

Diebold Nixdorf AG

Diebold Nixdorf AG is one of the world's leading providers of IT solutions and services to retail banks and the retail industry. The 
Acquisition  is  consistent  with  the  Company's  transformation  into  a  world-class,  services-led  and  software-enabled  company, 
supported  by  innovative  hardware.  Diebold  Nixdorf  AG  complements  and  extends  our  existing  capabilities.  The  Company 
considered a number of factors in connection with its evaluation of the transaction, including significant strategic opportunities 
and  potential  synergies, as  generally  supporting  its  decision  to  enter  into  the  business  combination  agreement with  Diebold 
Nixdorf AG. The Acquisition expands the Company's presence substantially, especially in EMEA. The Diebold Nixdorf AG business 
enhances the Company's existing portfolio. Diebold Nixdorf AG has a fiscal year end of September 30. For the twelve months 
ended September 30, 2016, Diebold Nixdorf AG recorded net sales of €2,578.6 as reported using IFRS as issued by the EU.

In  the  fourth  quarter  of  2015,  the  Company  announced  its  intention  to  acquire  all  29.8  Diebold  Nixdorf  AG  ordinary  shares 
outstanding (33.1 total Diebold Nixdorf AG ordinary shares issued inclusive of 3.3 treasury shares) through a voluntary tender offer 
for €38.98 in cash and 0.434 common shares of the Company per Diebold Nixdorf AG ordinary share outstanding. 

On August 15, 2016, the Company consummated the Acquisition by acquiring, through Diebold KGaA, a German partnership 
limited by shares and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, 22.9 Diebold Nixdorf AG ordinary shares representing 69.2 
percent of total number of Diebold Nixdorf AG ordinary shares inclusive of treasury shares (76.7 percent of all Diebold Nixdorf 
AG ordinary shares outstanding) in exchange for an aggregate preliminary purchase price consideration of $1,265.7, which included 
the issuance of 9.9 common shares of the Company. The Company financed the cash portion of the Acquisition as well as the 
repayment of Diebold Nixdorf AG debt outstanding with funds available under the Company’s Credit Agreement (as defined in 
note 14) and proceeds from the issuance and sale of $400.0 aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Senior Notes. 

Subsequent to the closing of the Acquisition, the board of directors of the Company, the supervisory and management boards of 
Diebold Nixdorf AG as welll as the extraordinary shareholder meetings of Diebold KGaA and Diebold Nixdorf AG on September 
26, 2016 each approved the proposed DPLTA. The DPLTA became effective by entry in the commercial register at the local court 
of Paderborn (Germany) on February 14, 2017. 

Pursuant to the DPLTA, subject to certain limitations pursuant to applicable law, (i) Diebold KGaA has the ability to issue binding 
instructions to the management board of Diebold Nixdorf AG, (ii) Diebold Nixdorf AG will transfer all of its annual profits to Diebold 
KGaA, and (iii) Diebold KGaA will generally absorb all annual losses incurred by Diebold Nixdorf AG. In addition, the DPLTA offers 
the Diebold Nixdorf AG minority shareholders, at their election, (i) the ability to put their Diebold Nixdorf AG ordinary shares to 
Diebold KGaA in exchange for cash compensation of €55.02 per Diebold Nixdorf AG ordinary share, or (ii) to remain Diebold 
Nixdorf AG minority shareholders and receive a recurring compensation in cash of €3.13 (€2.82 net under the current taxation

regime) per Diebold Nixdorf AG ordinary share for each full fiscal year of Diebold Nixdorf AG. The ultimate timing and amount of 
any future cash payments related to the DPLTA are uncertain.

The information included herein has been prepared based on the preliminary allocation of the purchase price using estimates of 
the fair value and useful lives of assets acquired and liabilities assumed which were determined with the assistance of independent 
valuations using discounted cash flow and comparative market multiple approaches, quoted market prices and estimates made 
by management. The purchase price allocation is subject to further adjustment until all pertinent information regarding the assets 
and liabilities acquired are fully evaluated by the Company, including but not limited to, the fair value accounting, legal and tax 
matters, obligations, deferred taxes and the allocation of goodwill.

The aggregate preliminary consideration, excluding $110.7 of cash acquired, for the Acquisition was $1,265.7, which consisted of 
the following:

During the fourth quarter of 2016, the preliminary fair value measurements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Diebold 
Nixdorf AG as of the acquisition date were refined as additional information became available. Among the adjustments recorded, 
the fair value of acquired intangible assets was decreased by $1.5 and deferred revenue decreased by $6.8. The fair value was 
primarily determined by applying the income approach using unobservable inputs for projected cash flows and a discount rate, 
which were refined during 2016, and are considered Level 3 inputs under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance. 
These refinements did not have a significant impact on our consolidated statements of operations, balance sheets or cash flows 
in any period. Deferred income taxes was adjusted to reclassify certain deferred income tax liabilities to deferred income tax assets 
among  other  valuation  adjustments  to  fair  value.  The  adjustment  in  other  noncurrent  liabilities  was  primarily  related  to  a 
reclassification to redeemable noncontrolling interest and noncontrolling interest related to previously existing  noncontrolling 
interests. Certain  other  amounts  were reclassified to  conform  with  the  current period  presentation. The  preliminary fair  value 
measurements are subject to change as the measurement period related to the Acquisition has not expired and purchase accounting 
remains preliminary. The measurement period cannot exceed one year from August 15, 2016.

Included in the preliminary purchase price allocation are acquired identifiable intangibles of $802.1, the fair value of which was 
primarily determined by applying the income approach, using several significant unobservable inputs for projected cash flows and 
a discount rate. These inputs are considered Level 3 inputs under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance.

Noncontrolling interest reflects a preliminary fair value adjustment of $407.9 consisting of $386.7 related to the Diebold Nixdorf 
AG ordinary shares the Company did not acquire and $21.2 for the pre-existing noncontrolling interests. Noncontrolling interests 
with certain redemption features, such as put rights that are not within the control of the issuer and are considered redeemable 
noncontrolling interests. As of December 31, 2016, the DPLTA was and will not be effective until registration with the commercial 
register of the local court of Paderborn. As a result the carrying value of the noncontrolling interest related to the Diebold Nixdorf 
AG ordinary shares the Company did not acquire of $386.7 has been presented as a component of total equity. As of and for the 
period of time that the DPLTA is effective, the carrying value of the noncontrolling interest will be reclassified from total equity to 
redeemable noncontrolling interest and presented outside of equity in the consolidated balance sheets of the Company. The 
carrying value of the noncontrolling interest related to the Diebold Nixdorf AG ordinary shares the Company did not acquire would 
be $400.1 if remeasured as of December 31, 2016. The Company calculated the new carrying value using the Diebold Nixdorf 
AG ordinary shares put right to Diebold KGaA for compensation in cash of €55.02 per Diebold Nixdorf AG ordinary share in 
addition to the recurring compensation in cash of €3.13 (€2.82 net under the current taxation regime) using the exchange rate as 
of December 31, 2016. In addition, the Company reclassified $46.8 of certain pre-existing redeemable noncontrolling interest. 
The cash compensation is recognized ratably during the applicable annual period. The ultimate amount and timing of any future 
cash payments related to the put right are uncertain.

Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities 
assumed from the Acquisition, and represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be 
individually identified and separately recognized. This goodwill is primarily the result of anticipated synergies achieved through 
increased  scale,  a  streamlined  portfolio  of  products  and  solutions,  higher  utilization  of  the  service  organization,  workforce 
rationalization in overlapping regions and shared back office resources. The Company has yet to allocate goodwill to its Domestic 
and Canada, EMEA, AP and LA reporting units. The goodwill associated with the Acquisition is not deductible for income tax 
purposes.

Net sales, income (loss) from continuing operations before taxes and net income (loss) attributable to Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated 
from the Acquisition included in the Company’s results since August 15, 2016, the date of the Acquisition, are as follows:

acquired intangibles of $49.7, offset by a reduction of $2.4 depreciation expense related to the change in useful lives. 

The Company incurred deal-related costs in connection with the Acquisition, of $97.2, which are included in selling, general and 
administrative expenses in the Company's consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Incremental shares of 0.6 and 0.7 were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2016 and
2015, respectively, because their effect is anti-dilutive due to the loss from continuing operations.

The unaudited pro forma information has been adjusted with respect to certain aspects of the Acquisition to reflect the

Additional depreciation and amortization expenses that would have been recognized assuming preliminary fair value
adjustments to the existing Diebold Nixdorf AG assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including intangible assets, fixed
assets and expense associated with the valuation of inventory acquired.
Increased interest expense due to additional borrowings to fund the Acquisition.

The pro forma results do not include any anticipated cost synergies or other effects of the planned integration of the acquired 
business. Accordingly, such pro forma amounts are not necessarily indicative of the results that actually would have occurred had 
the Acquisition been completed as of January 1, 2015, nor are they indicative of the future operating results of the Company.

Phoenix Interactive Design, Inc.

In the first quarter of 2015, the Company acquired 100 percent of the equity interests of Phoenix for a total purchase price of 
$72.9, including $12.6 of deferred cash payment payable over the next three years. Acquiring Phoenix, a leading developer of 
innovative multi-vendor software solutions for ATMs and a host of other FSS applications, was a foundational move to accelerate 
the Company’s growth in the fast-growing managed services and branch automation spaces. The results of operations for Phoenix 
are primarily included in the NA reportable operating segment within the Company's consolidated financial statements from the 
date of its acquisition.

44.1

In connection with the Acquisition, the Company assumed pre-existing noncontrolling interests with certain redemption features, 
such as put rights that are not within the control of the issuer, which are considered redeemable noncontrolling interests. The 
redeemable noncontrolling interests were preliminarily recorded at fair value as of the Acquisition date by applying the income 
approach using unobservable inputs for projected cash flows and a discount rate, which are considered Level 3 inputs, and subject 
to change as the measurement period related to the Acquisition has not expired and purchase accounting remains preliminary. 
The results of operations for these redeemable noncontrolling interests were not significant. The ultimate amount and timing of 
any future cash payments related to the put rights are uncertain.

NOTE 4: EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss)
per share includes the dilutive effect of potential common shares outstanding. Under the two-class method of computing earnings 
(loss) 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 (loss) per share under 
both the treasury stock method and the two-class method. For the years presented there were no differences in the earnings (loss) 
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  (loss)  per  share and  the  effect on  the  weighted-average

NOTE 6: SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION AND EQUITY

Dividends. On the basis of amounts declared and paid quarterly, the annualized dividends per share were $0.96, $1.15 and $1.15
for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, 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 February 12, 2014) (1991 Plan) was 8.3, of which 4.1 shares 
were available for issuance at December 31, 2016.

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 after a one- to 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)

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, 2016 and changes during the year ended were as follows:

The aggregate intrinsic value represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the Company’s closing share price on the
last trading day of the year in 2016 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of “in-the-money” options) that would have been received
by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on December 31, 2016. The amount of aggregate intrinsic value will
change based on the fair market value of the Company’s common shares.
The expected to vest options are the result of applying the pre-vesting forfeiture rate assumption to total outstanding non-vested options.

The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised was minimal for the year ended December 31, 2016, and $0.7 and $2.1 for 2015
and 2014, respectively. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of stock options granted for the years ended December 31, 
2016, 2015 and 2014 was $5.37, $7.04 and $6.75, respectively. Total fair value of stock options vested during the years ended 
December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $2.6, $2.7 and $1.8, respectively. Exercise of options during the years ended December 31, 
2016, 2015 and 2014 resulted in cash receipts of $0.3, $3.5 and $14.6, respectively. 

Restricted Stock Units

Each RSU provides for the issuance of one common share of the Company at no cost to the holder and are granted to both 
employees and non-employee directors. RSUs granted to employees prior to 2016 vest after a three- or seven-year period. RSUs 
granted to employees after 2016 ratably vest per annum over a three-year period and for non-employee directors cliff vest after 
one year. During the vesting period, employees and non-employee directors are paid the cash equivalent of dividends on RSUs. 
Non-vested employee RSUs are forfeited upon termination unless the Board of Directors determines otherwise.

Performance Shares

Performance shares are granted to employees and vest based on the achievement of certain performance 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  Company's  performance  shares  include  performance  objectives  that  are  assessed  after  a  three-year  period  as  well  as 
performance  objectives that are assessed annually over a three-year period. No shares are vested unless certain performance

December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $3.1, $5.1 and $0.0, respectively.

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.

As of December 31, 2016, there were 0.1 non-employee director deferred shares vested and outstanding. There were no deferred 
shares  granted  in  2016  or  2015  The  weighted-average  grant-date  fair  value  of  deferred  shares  granted  for  the  year  ended 
December 31,  2014  was  $29.73  per  share. The  aggregate intrinsic  value  of  deferred shares released during  the  years  ended

In connection with the acquisition of Diebold Colombia, S.A., in December 2005, the Company issued warrants to purchase 0.1
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

The effective tax rate for 2016 was 28.4 percent on the overall loss from continued operations. The benefit on the overall loss was 
negatively impacted by the Acquisition including a valuation allowance for certain post-acquisition losses and non-deductible 
acquisition related expenses. The overall effective tax rate was decreased further by the jurisdictional income (loss) mix and varying 
statutory rates within the acquired entities.

In 2015, the overall negative effective tax rate of (29.9) percent on the income from continued operations was primarily driven by 
the Company repatriation of high-taxed foreign earnings carrying a foreign tax credit benefit of $13.0. In addition, the passage of 
the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015 R.R. 2029 (PATH Act), which extended the Controlled Foreign Corporation 
(CFC) look-through rules in Internal Revenue Code (IRC) section 954(c)(6) that exempted the foreign corporations' earnings from 
current taxation as well as the permanent extension of the research and experimentation credit benefited the overall effective tax 
rate by $5.6. The other major driver attributing to the overall negative effective tax rate was due to the combined income mix and 
varying statutory rates in the Company's foreign operations.

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: 

Balance at January 1

Increases (decreases) related to prior year tax positions

Increases related to current year tax positions

Reduction due to lapse of applicable statute of limitations

The entire amount of unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate. The 2016 increase 
related to  prior  year  tax  positions  was  impacted  by  the  Acquisition  resulting in  an  increase of  $28.5  that  was  included  in  the 
preliminary estimated fair value of the liabilities as of the August 15, 2016 acquisition date.  

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, 2016 and 2015, accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax 
benefits totaled approximately $7.6 and $7.2, respectively.

(in millions, except per share amounts)

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, 2016, the Company is under audit by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for tax years ended December 31, 
2011, 2012 and 2013. The IRS completed its examination of the Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for the years 2008-2010 
and issued a Revenue Agent’s Report (RAR) during 2014. The Company appealed the findings in the RAR and a final agreement 
was reached with the IRS during 2016. The final RAR was issued by the IRS and approved by the Joint Committee on Taxation, a 
Committee of the U.S. Congress. The net tax deficiency, excluding interest, associated with the RAR was $2.1 after net operating 
loss utilization. All amounts, including interest, had been previously accrued. All U.S. federal tax years prior to 2011 are closed by 
statute. The Company is subject to tax examination in various U.S. state jurisdictions for tax years 2009 to the present, as well as 
various foreign jurisdictions for tax years 2009 to the present. 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities 
for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company's deferred 
tax assets and liabilities at December 31 are as follows:

Deferred tax assets

The Company has elected to early adopt ASU 2015-17 for purposes of the 2016 annual period on a prospective basis. Accordingly, 
the 2015 prior period annual balances above have not been adjusted.

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had domestic and international net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of $523.1, resulting 
in an NOL deferred tax asset of $88.4. Of these NOL carryforwards, $333.8 expire at various times between 2017 and 2037 and 
$189.3 does not expire. At December 31, 2016, the Company had a domestic foreign tax credit carryforward resulting in a deferred 
tax asset of $46.5 that will expire between 2020 and 2026 and a general business credit carryforward resulting in a deferred tax 
asset of $5.6 that will expire between 2034 and 2037.

The Company recorded 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, 2016 and 
2015 was an increase of $23.9 and a decrease of $24.1, respectively. The 2016 valuation allowance increase is currency driven 
relating mostly to the strengthening of the Brazil real compared to the previous year. In addition, $9.1 of the valuation allowance 
increase relates to the Acquisition.

For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, 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 $523.3 of undistributed earnings at 
December 31, 2016 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 8: INVESTMENTS

The Company’s investments, primarily in Brazil, consist of certificates of deposit that are classified as available-for-sale and stated 
at fair value based upon quoted market prices. Unrealized gains and losses are recorded in AOCI. Realized gains and losses are 
recognized in interest income and are determined using the specific identification method. There were no realized gains from the 
sale of securities or proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale securities for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. 

The Company has strategic alliances that are not consolidated. The Company tests these strategic alliances annually, individually 
and in aggregate, to determine materiality. The Company owns 40.0 percent of Inspur JV or Inspur Financial Technology Service 
Co., Ltd (Inspur) and 43.6 percent of Aisino-Wincor Retail & Banking Systems (Shanghai) Co.,Ltd; (Aisino). The Company engages 
in transactions in the ordinary course of business. The Company's strategic alliances were determined to be immaterial to the 
Company and were accounted for under the equity method of investments. 

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 15), 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 interest income.

The Company's allowance of $4.4 and $4.6 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, all resulted from 
individual  impairment  evaluation.  As  of  December 31,  2016,  finance  leases  and  notes  receivables  individually  evaluated  for 
impairment were $62.2 and $20.7, respectively, of which $22.8 and $11.7, respectively, relates to the Acquisition, were assessed 
with no provision recorded. As of December 31, 2015, finance leases and notes receivables individually evaluated for impairment 
were $75.3 and $22.5, respectively. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company’s financing receivables in LA were $30.3
and $58.8, respectively. The decrease is related primarily to the strengthening U.S. dollar compared to the Brazil real and recurring 
customer payments for financing arrangements in LA.

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, 2016 and 2015, the recorded investment in past-due financing receivables on nonaccrual status was $0.4 and 
$0.7, respectively, and there was no recorded investment in finance receivables past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest. 
The recorded investment in impaired notes receivable was $4.1 as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 and was fully reserved.

Goodwill. In the fourth quarter of 2016, goodwill was reviewed for impairment based on a two-step test, which resulted in no 
impairment in any of the Company's reporting units. Management determined that the LA and AP reporting units had excess fair 
value of approximately $65.8 or 18.3 percent and approximately $56.1 or 21.5 percent, respectively, when compared to their 
carrying amounts. The Domestic and Canada reporting unit, included in the NA reportable segment, had excess fair value greater 
than 100.0 percent when compared to its carrying amount. 

In August 2016, the Company acquired Diebold Nixdorf AG. The unallocated portion of acquired goodwill as of December 31, 
2016 of $831.7 is attributable to Diebold Nixdorf AG. In connection with the business combination agreement related to the

FORM 10-K as of December 31, 2016
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(in millions, except per share amounts)

Acquisition,  the  Company  announced  the  realignment  of  its  lines  of  business  to  drive  greater  efficiency  and  further  improve 
customer service. The Company began evaluating and assessing the line of business reporting structure and its impact on the 
allocation of the Diebold Nixdorf AG acquired goodwill among the reporting units. The Company does not anticipate the assessment 
to be completed until the first quarter of 2017. Beginning with the first quarter of 2017, the Company anticipates allocating goodwill 
to its reporting units based on the conclusion of the assessment on the following lines of business: Software, Systems, and Services. 

The acquired Diebold Nixdorf AG goodwill is primarily the result of anticipated synergies achieved through increased scale, a 
streamlined portfolio of products and solutions, higher utilization of the service organization, workforce rationalization in overlapping 
regions and shared back office resources. The Company also expects that, after completion of the Acquisition and integration, it 
will generate strong free cash flow, which would be used to make investments in innovative software and solutions and reduce 
debt.

In March 2015, the Company acquired Phoenix, a leader in developing innovative multi-vendor software solutions for ATMs and 
a host of other FSS applications. During the second quarter of 2016, the Company adjusted the preliminary goodwill by $(0.5) 
primarily to reflect adjustments to the finalization of deferred income taxes.

Other  Assets.  Other  assets  consists  of  net  capitalized  computer  software  development  costs,  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. 

During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company recorded a $9.8 impairment charge related to redundant legacy Diebold internally-
developed software and an indefinite-lived trade name in NA as a result of the Acquisition. 

For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded other asset-related impairment charges of $18.9. As of March 31, 
2015, the Company agreed to sell its equity interest in its Venezuela joint venture to its joint venture partner and recorded a $10.3 
impairment of assets in the first quarter of 2015. On April 29, 2015, the Company closed the sale for the estimated fair market 
value and recorded a $1.0 reversal of impairment of assets based on final adjustments in the second quarter of 2015, resulting in 
a $9.3 impairment of assets for the six months ended June 30, 2015. During the remainder of 2015, the Company incurred an 
additional  $0.4  related  to  uncollectible  accounts  receivable,  which  is  included  in  selling  and  administrative  expenses  on  the 
consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, the Company recorded an impairment related to other intangibles in LA in 
the second quarter of 2015 and an impairment of $9.1 related to redundant legacy Diebold internally-developed software as a 
result of the acquisition of Phoenix in the first quarter of 2015 in which the carrying amounts of the assets were not recoverable.

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had various short-term uncommitted lines of credit with borrowing limits of $208.0. The 
weighted-average interest rate on outstanding borrowings on the short-term uncommitted lines of credit as of December 31, 2016 
and 2015 was 9.87 percent and 5.66 percent, respectively. The increase in the weighted-average interest rate is attributable to

The Company entered into a revolving and term loan credit agreement (the Credit Agreement), dated as of November 23, 2015, 
among the Company and certain of the Company's subsidiaries, as borrowers, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative 
Agent, and the lenders named therein. The Credit Agreement included, among other things, mechanics for the Company’s existing

revolving and term loan A facilities to be refinanced under the Credit Agreement. On December 23, 2015, the Company entered 
into a Replacement Facilities Effective Date Amendment, which amended the Credit Agreement, among the Company, certain of 
the Company’s subsidiaries, the lenders identified therein and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, pursuant to 
which the Company refinanced its $520.0 revolving and $230.0 term loan A senior unsecured credit facilities (which have been 
terminated  and repaid in full) with, respectively, a new unsecured revolving facility (the Revolving Facility) in an amount of up 
to $520.0 and a new (non-delayed draw) unsecured term loan A facility (the Term Loan A Facility) on substantially the same terms 
as the Delayed Draw Term Facility (as defined in the Credit Agreement) in the amount of up to $230.0. The Delayed Draw Term 
Facility of $250.0 may be drawn up to one year after the closing date of the Acquisition. The Revolving Facility and Term Loan A 
Facility are subject to the same maximum consolidated net leverage ratio and minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio as 
the  Delayed  Draw  Term Facility.  On  December  23,  2020,  the  Term Loan  A  Facility  will  mature and  the  Revolving  Facility  will 
automatically terminate. The weighted-average interest rate on outstanding revolving credit facility borrowings as of December 31, 
2016 and December 31, 2015 was 2.56 percent and 2.33 percent, respectively, which is variable based on the LIBOR. The amount 
available under the revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2016 was $520.0.

On  April 19,  2016,  the  Company  issued  $400.0  aggregate principal  amount  of  2024  Senior  Notes  in  an  offering, which  were 
registered with the SEC in October 2016 in connection with the Acquisition. The 2024 Senior Notes are and will be guaranteed 
by certain of the Company’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries.

Also in April 2016, allocation and pricing of the Term Loan B Facility provided under the Credit Agreement (which the Term Loan 
B Facility was used to provide part of the financing for the Acquisition) was completed. The Term Loan B Facility consists of a 
$1,000.0  U.S.  dollar-denominated tranche  that  bears  interest  at  LIBOR  plus  an  applicable  margin  of  4.50  percent  (or, at  the 
Company’s option, prime plus an applicable margin of 3.50 percent), and a €350.0 euro-denominated tranche that will bear interest 
at the EURIBOR plus an applicable margin of 4.25 percent. Each tranche was funded during the second quarter of 2016 at 99 
percent of par. 

On May 6 and August 16, 2016, the Company entered into the Second and Third Amendments to the Credit Agreement, which 
re-denominated  a  portion  of  the  Term Loan  B  Facility  into  euros  and  guaranteed  the  prompt  and  complete  payment  and 
performance of the obligations when due under the Credit Agreement. On February 14, 2017, the Company entered into the 
Fourth  Amendment  to  the  Credit Agreement which  released certain  restrictions  on  the  Delayed  Draw  Term Loan  A  effective 
immediately.

The Credit Agreement financial ratios at December 31, 2016 are as follows:

•

•

a maximum total net debt to adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio of 4.50 as of December 31, 2016 (reducing to 4.25 on
December 31, 2017, further reduced to 4.00 on December 31, 2018, and further reduced to 3.75 on June 30, 2019); and
a minimum adjusted EBITDA to net interest expense coverage ratio of not less than 3.00

The key affirmative and negative covenants of the Credit Agreement include:

Affirmative Covenants

Negative Covenants - Limitations on

Mandatory prepayments are required if the outstanding revolving loans or facility letters of credit exceed the aggregate revolving 
credit commitments, including due to currency fluctuations if difference is greater than 105 percent, the excess loans must be 
repaid or facility letters of credit must be cash collateralized. Voluntary prepayments require one business day notice for floating 
rate loans in $1.0 or multiples thereof and three business days for euro currency rate loans in $5.0 or $1.0 multiples thereof. There 
is a prepayment premium with respect to the Term B Facility only. Until May 6, 2017, if there is a repricing event, where the Term 
B Facility is refinanced or amended to reduce the yield, there is a prepayment premium of 1.00 percent refinanced or amended. 
Other mandatory prepayments include incurrence of new debt outside what is allowed in the Credit Agreement, sale of certain 
assets beyond a de-minimis exception amount and depending on the net debt leverage, a percentage of "Excess Cash Flows" 
as defined in the Credit Agreement beginning with 2017 cash flows. 

The Company incurred $39.2 and $6.0 of fees in the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, related to the Credit 
Agreement and 2024 Senior Notes, which are amortized as a component of interest expense over the terms.

The debt facilities under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries 
that are borrowers or guarantors under the Credit Agreement, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens.

In March 2006, the Company issued the 2006 Senior Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $300.0. The Company funded 
the repayment of $75.0 aggregate principal amount of the 2006 Senior Notes at maturity in March 2013 using borrowings under 
its revolving credit facility and the repayment of $175.0 aggregate principal amount of the 2006 Senior Notes that matured in 
March 2016 through the use of proceeds from the divestiture of the Company's NA electronic security business. Prepayment of 
the remaining $50.0 aggregate principal amount of the 2006 Senior Notes were paid in full on May 2, 2016. The prepayment 
included a make-whole premium of $3.9, which was paid in addition to the principal and interest of the 2006 Senior Notes and is 
included in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2016.

NOTE 15: BENEFIT PLANS

Qualified Retirement Benefits. The Company has qualified retirement plans covering certain U.S. employees that have been closed 
to new participants since 2003 and frozen since December 2013. Plans that cover salaried employees provide retirement benefits 
based on the employee’s compensation during the ten years before the date of the plan freeze or the date of their actual separation 
from service, if earlier. The Company’s funding policy for salaried plans is to contribute annually based on actuarial projections and 
applicable regulations. Plans covering hourly employees 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.

In  connection  with  the  Acquisition,  the  Company  acquired  $625.1  of  additional  obligations  and  $524.2  of  assets  related  to 
postemployment benefit plans for certain groups of employees at the Company’s new operations outside of the U.S. Plans vary 
depending on the legal, economic, and tax environments of the respective country. For financially significant defined benefit plans, 
accruals for pensions and similar commitments have been included in the results for this year. The new significant defined benefit 
plans are mainly arranged for employees in Germany, the Netherlands and in Switzerland:

•

•

•

In Germany, post-employment benefit plans are set up as employer funded pension plans and deferred compensation
plans. The employer funded pension commitments in Germany are based upon direct performance-related commitments
in terms of defined contribution plans. Each beneficiary receives, depending on individual pay-scale grouping, contractual
classification, or income level, different yearly contributions. The contribution is multiplied by an age factor appropriate
to the respective pension plan and credited to the individual retirement account of the employee. The retirement accounts
may be used up at retirement by either a one-time lump-sum payout or payments of up to ten years. Insured events
include disability, death and reaching of retirement age.

In Switzerland, the post-employment benefit plan is required due to statutory provisions. The employees receive their
pension payments as a function of contributions paid, a fixed interest rate and annuity factors. Insured events are disability,
death and reaching of retirement age.

In the Netherlands, there is an average career salary plan, which is employer- and employee-financed and handled by an
external fund. Insured events are disability, death and reaching of retirement age. In the Netherlands, the plan assets are
currently invested in a company pension fund. During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company recognized a curtailment
gain of $4.6 related to its Netherlands' SecurCash B.V. plan due to a restructuring and cessation of accruals in the plan
as of December 31, 2016. A transfer to an industry-wide pension fund is planned for the next fiscal year.

Other financially significant defined benefit plans exist in the U.K., Belgium and France.

Supplemental Executive Retirement Benefits. The Company has non-qualified pension plans to provide supplemental retirement 
benefits to certain officers, which was also frozen since December 2013. Benefits are payable at retirement based upon a percentage 
of the participant’s compensation, as defined.

In connection with the voluntary early retirement program in the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company recorded distributions of 
$138.5 of pension plan assets, of which $15.8 were paid to participants in 2014. Distributions were made via lump-sum payments 
out of plan assets to participants. These distributions resulted in a non-cash pension charge of $67.6 recognized in selling and 
administrative expense within the Company's statement of operations. The non-cash pension charge included a $8.7 curtailment 
loss, a $20.2 settlement loss and $38.7 in special termination benefits. 

Other Benefits. In addition to providing retirement benefits, the Company provides post-retirement healthcare and life insurance 
benefits (referred to as other benefits) for certain retired employees. Retired eligible employees in the U.S. may be entitled to 
these benefits based upon years of service with the Company, age at retirement and collective bargaining agreements. 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. 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.

During 2016, the Society of Actuaries released a series of updated mortality tables resulting from recent studies measuring mortality 
rates for various groups of individuals. As of December 31, 2016, the Company adopted for the pension plan in the U.S. the use 
of the RP-2014 base mortality table modified to remove the post-2006 projections using the MP-2014 mortality improvement scale 
and replacing it with projections using the fully generational MP-2016 projection scale. For the plans outside the U.S., the mortality 
tables used are those either required or customary for local accounting and/or funding purposes.

experience. The Company used initial healthcare cost trends of 7.0 percent in both 2016 and 2015 . While the ultimate trend rate 
was 5.0 percent in both years, the period of time to reach the ultimate was extended from 2015 to 2016. Assumed healthcare cost 
trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the healthcare plans.

The Company has a pension investment policy in the U.S. 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 U.S. 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. Several plans outside of 
the U.S. are also invested in various assets, under various investment policies in compliance with local funding regulations.

In  connection  with  the  Acquisition,  the  Company  also  acquired plan  assets  that  had  been  created in  June  2006  as  part  of  a 
Contractual Trust Arrangement (CTA), under which company assets have been irrevocably transferred to a registered association 
(Wincor Nixdorf Pension Trust e. V.) for the exclusive purpose of securing and funding pension and other postemployment benefits 
obligations to employees in Belgium, Germany, France and Switzerland. The association is investing in current and non-current 
assets, using a funding strategy that is reviewed on a regular basis by analyzing asset development as well as the current situation 
of the financial market.

The following table summarizes the Company’s target mix for these asset classes in 2017, 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 of the 
assets. 

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 Company's basic match is 60 percent of the first 6 percent 
of a participant's qualified contributions, subject to IRS limits.

The Company match is determined by the Board of Directors and evaluated at least annually. Total Company match was $8.3, 
$9.5 and $8.7 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Deferred Compensation  Plans.  The  Company  has  deferred compensation  plans  in  the  U.S.  and  Germany  that  enable  certain 
employees to defer a portion of their cash wages, cash bonus, 401(k) or other 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 in the U.S. 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  interest  income  with  corresponding  changes  in  the 
Company’s deferred compensation obligation recorded as compensation cost within selling and administrative expense.

The Company leases vehicles with contractual terms of 36 to 60 months that are cancellable after 12 months without penalty. Future minimum
lease 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 $84.3, $67.7 and $72.2 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 
2015 and 2014, respectively.

NOTE 17: GUARANTEES AND PRODUCT WARRANTIES

The  Company  provides its  global  operations  guarantees  and  standby  letters  of  credit through various  financial  institutions  to 
suppliers, customers, regulatory agencies and insurance providers. If the Company is not able to make payment, the suppliers, 
customers, regulatory agencies and insurance providers may draw on the pertinent bank. At December 31, 2016, the maximum 
future contractual obligations relative to these various guarantees totaled $183.3, of which $28.0 represented standby letters of 
credit to insurance providers, and no associated liability was recorded. At December 31, 2015, the maximum future payment 
obligations relative to these various guarantees totaled $89.9, of which $30.0 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.

NOTE 18: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Contractual Obligation

At December 31, 2016, the Company had purchase commitments due within one year totaling $16.3 for materials through contract 
manufacturing agreements at negotiated prices. The amounts purchased under these obligations totaled $20.9 in 2016.

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, 2016, the Company was a party to several routine indirect tax claims from various taxing authorities globally that 
were  incurred  in  the  normal  course  of  business,  which  neither  individually  nor  in  the  aggregate  are  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 proceedings described below:

In August 2012, one of the Company's Brazil subsidiaries was notified of a tax assessment of approximately R$270.0, including 
penalties and interest, regarding certain Brazil 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 Brazil's free trade zone that would nullify certain indirect tax incentives. In September 2012, the Company filed 
its administrative defenses with the tax authorities.

In response to an order by the administrative court, the tax inspector provided further analysis with respect to the initial assessment 
in December 2013 that indicates a potential exposure that is significantly lower than the initial tax assessment received in August 
2012. This revised analysis has been accepted by the initial administrative court and lower level appellate court; however, this 
matter  remains  subject  to  ongoing  administrative  proceedings  and  appeals.  Accordingly,  the  Company  cannot  provide  any 
assurance that its exposure pursuant to the initial assessment will be lowered significantly or at all. In addition, this matter could 
negatively impact Brazil 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. The Company continues to defend itself in this matter.

The Company has challenged customs rulings in Thailand seeking to retroactively collect customs duties on previous imports of 
ATMs. Management believes that the customs authority’s attempt to retroactively assess customs duties is in contravention of 
World Trade Organization agreements and, accordingly, is challenging the rulings. In the third quarter of 2015, the Company 
received a prospective ruling from the U.S. Customs Border Protection which is consistent with the Company's interpretation of 
the treaty in question. The Company has submitted that ruling for consideration in its ongoing dispute with Thailand. In August 
2016, the tax court of appeals rendered a decision in favor of the Company related to approximately half of the assessments at 
issue. The remaining matters are currently in various stages of the appeals process and management continues to believe that the 
Company has a valid legal position in these appeals. Accordingly, the Company has not accrued any amount for this contingency; 
however, the Company cannot provide any assurance that it will not ultimately be subject to retroactive assessments. 

At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had an accrual related to the Brazil indirect tax matter disclosed above of $7.3
and $7.5, respectively. The movement between periods primarily relates to the currency fluctuation in the Brazil real.

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. The Company estimated the aggregate risk at December 31, 2016 to be up 
to approximately $172.9 for its material indirect tax matters, of which approximately $125.9 and $24.0, respectively, relates to the 
Brazil indirect tax matter and Thailand customs matter disclosed above. The aggregate risk related to indirect taxes is adjusted as 
the applicable statutes of limitations expire.

Legal Contingencies

At December 31, 2016, the Company was a party to several lawsuits that were incurred in the normal course of business, which 
neither individually nor in the aggregate are considered material by management in relation to the Company’s financial position 
or  results of  operations.  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.

On October 22, 2013, the Company finalized a settlement agreement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) 
and a Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to settle charges arising from violations 
of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). Pursuant to those agreements, Diebold Nixdorf was required to retain an independent 
corporate monitor to review our compliance program, internal accounting controls, record-keeping, and financial reporting policies 
and procedures relating to the FCPA and other applicable anti-corruption laws. Since that time, the Company has made significant 
enhancements to its global ethics and compliance program. On October 24, 2016, the corporate monitor certified to the SEC and 
DOJ that our compliance program is reasonably designed and implemented to prevent and detect violations of anti-corruption 
laws. The DPA and the independent corporate monitorship expired on October 29, 2016. With the completion of the monitorship, 
the Company has fulfilled its obligations under the settlement agreements with the DOJ and SEC.

NOTE 19: DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The  Company  is  exposed  to  certain  risks  arising  from  both  its  business  operations  and  economic  conditions.  The  Company 
principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business 
activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate and foreign exchange rate risk, through the use of derivative 
financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from 
business  activities  that  result  in  the  receipt  or  payment  of  future  known  and  uncertain  cash  amounts,  the  value  of  which  are 
determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, 
and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to 
the Company’s borrowings.

Certain of the Company’s foreign operations expose the Company to fluctuations of foreign interest rates and exchange rates. 
These  fluctuations  may  impact  the  value  of  the  Company’s cash  receipts and  payments  in  terms  of  the  Company’s functional 
currency. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to protect the value or fix the amount of certain obligations in 
terms of its functional currency.

The Company uses derivatives to mitigate the economic consequences associated with fluctuations in currencies and interest rates. 
The following table summarizes the gain (loss) recognized on derivative instruments:

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. 
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 
accumulated in AOCI where they will remain until they are reclassified to income together with the gain or loss on the entire 
investment upon substantial liquidation of the subsidiary. The fair value of the Company’s net investment hedge contracts were 
$(0.3) and $1.0 as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.The net gain (loss) recognized in AOCI on net investment hedge 
derivative instruments was $(13.3) and $10.4 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

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

On August 15, 2016, the Company designated its €350.0 euro-denominated Term Loan B Facility as a net investment hedge of 
its investments in certain subsidiaries that use the Euro as their functional currency in order to reduce volatility in stockholders' 
equity caused by the changes in foreign currency exchange rates of the Euro with respect to the U.S. Dollar. The notes will bear 
interest at the EURIBOR plus an applicable margin of 4.25 percent. Effectiveness will be assessed at least quarterly by confirming 
that the respective designated net investments' net equity balances at the beginning of any period collectively continues to equal 
or exceed the balance outstanding on the Company's Euro-denominated term loan. Changes in value that are deemed effective 
are accumulated in AOCI. When the respective net investments are sold or substantially liquidated, the balance of the cumulative 
translation adjustment in AOCI will be reclassified into earnings. The net gain (loss) recognized in AOCI on net investment hedge 
foreign currency borrowings was $22.8 for the year ended December 31, 2016.

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 or income. The fair value 
of the Company’s non-designated foreign exchange forward contracts was $2.6 and $0.9 as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, 
respectively. 

Cash Flow Hedges. The Company is exposed to fluctuations in various foreign currencies against its functional currency. At the 
Company, both sales and purchases are transacted in foreign currencies. Wincor Nixdorf International GmbH is the Diebold Nixdorf 
AG currency management center. Currency risks in the aggregate are identified, quantified, and controlled at the Wincor Nixdorf 
International  GmbH  treasury  center,  and  furthermore,  it  provides  foreign  currencies  if  necessary.  The  Diebold  Nixdorf  AG 
subsidiaries are primarily exposed to the U.S. dollar (USD) and Great Britain pound sterling (GBP) as the euro (EUR) is its functional 
currency. This risk is considerably reduced by natural hedging (i.e. management of sales and purchases by choice location and 
suppliers). For the remainder of the risk that is not naturally hedged, foreign currency forwards are used to manage the exposure 
between EUR-GBP and EUR-USD.

Derivative transactions are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. For transactions designated as cash flow hedges, the 
effective portion of changes in the fair value are recorded in AOCI and are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period 
that the hedged forecasted transactions impact earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is 
recognized directly in earnings. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had the following outstanding foreign currency derivatives 
that were used to hedge its foreign exchange risks:

The remaining net currency risk not hedged by forward currency transactions amounts to approximately $16.4 and £9.4 for year 
ended December 31, 2016. The flows of foreign currency are recorded centrally for Diebold Nixdorf AG and, where feasible, 
equalized out. No foreign currency options were transacted during the current and previous year. If the euro had been revalued 
and devalued respectively by 10 percent against the U.S. dollar the other components of equity (before deferred taxes) and the 
fair  value  of  forward  currency  transactions  would  have  been  €3.9  higher,  and  €4.8  lower,  respectively  for  the  year  ended 
December 31,  2016.  If  the  euro  had  been  revalued  and  devalued  respectively  by  10  percent  against  pounds  sterling  as  of 
December 31, 2016, the other components of equity (before deferred taxes) and the fair value of forward currency transactions 
would have been €4.6 higher, and €5.6 lower, respectively for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Foreign Exchange Currency Option and Forward Contracts - acquisition related. On November 23, 2015, the Company entered 
into two foreign currency option contracts to purchase €1,416.0 for $1,547.1 to hedge against the effect of exchange rate fluctuations 
on the euro-denominated cash consideration related to the Acquisition and estimated euro-denominated transaction related costs 
and any outstanding Diebold Nixdorf AG borrowings. At that time, the euro-denominated cash component of the purchase price 
consideration approximated €1,162.2. The foreign currency option contracts were sold during the second quarter of 2016 for cash 
proceeds of $42.6, which are included in investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows, resulting in a gain of 
$35.6 during the year ended December 31, 2016 and $7.0 during the fourth quarter of 2015. The weighted average strike price 
was $1.09 per euro. These foreign currency option contracts were non-designated and included in other current assets on the 
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 based on the net asset position.

On April 29, 2016, the Company entered into one foreign currency forward contract to purchase €713.0 for $820.9 to hedge 
against  the  effect  of  exchange  rate  fluctuations  on  the  euro-denominated  cash  consideration  related  to  the  Acquisition  and 
estimated euro denominated transaction related costs and any outstanding Diebold Nixdorf AG borrowings. The forward rate is 
$1.1514. The foreign currency forward contract was settled for $792.6 during the third quarter of 2016, which is included in investing

activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows, resulting in a loss of $26.4 during the year ended December 31, 2016. This 
foreign currency forward contract is non-designated and included in other current assets or other current liabilities based on the 
net asset or net liability position, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets. The gains and losses from the revaluation of 
the foreign currency forward contract are included in other income (expense) miscellaneous, net on the consolidated statements 
of operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company recorded a $9.3, mark-to-market gain (loss) on foreign currency and 
forward option contracts reflected in miscellaneous, net. The fair value of the Company's foreign currency forward and option 
contracts was $7.0 as of December 31, 2015 and was included in other current assets. 

INTEREST RATE

Cash Flow Hedges. The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to 
manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as 
part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable 
amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without 
exchange  of  the  underlying  notional  amount.  During  November  2016,  the  Company  entered into  multiple  pay-fixed  receive-
variable interest rate swaps outstanding with an aggregate notional amount of $400.0.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in 
AOCI and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During 
the fourth quarter of 2016, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt. 
The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings.

Amounts reported in AOCI related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the 
Company’s variable-rate debt. The Company estimates that an additional $0.8 will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense 
over the next year.

Additionally, the Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and currently does not have any derivatives 
that are not designated as hedges.

In connection with the Acquisition, the Company acquired an interest swap for a notional amount of €50.0, which was entered 
into in May 2010 with a ten-year term from October 1, 2010 until September 30, 2020. For this interest swap, the three-month 
EURIBOR is received and a fixed interest rate of 2.974 percent is paid. The fair value is measured at market prices. On the date of 
the Acquisition and as of December 31, 2016, the fair value was €(7.9) and €(6.3), respectively. Because this swap was accounted 
for as a cash flow hedge, the change in fair value of €1.6 was directly recognized in AOCI. For the year ended December 31, 2016, 
the amount reclassified from equity to profit or loss was not significant. 

In December 2005 and January 2006, the Company executed cash flow hedges by entering into pay-fixed receive-variable interest 
rate swaps, with a total notional amount of $200.0, related to the 2006 Senior Notes. Amounts previously recorded in AOCI related 
to the pre-issuance cash flow hedges were reclassified to interest expense on a straight-line basis through February 2016. In June 
2016, the Company paid off this pay-fixed receive-variable interest rate swap.

The gain recognized on designated cash flow hedge derivative instruments was minimal for year ended December 31, 2016 and 
$1.1 for 2015. Gains and losses related to interest rate contracts that are reclassified from AOCI are recorded in interest expense 
on the consolidated statements of operations.

During the first quarter of 2013, the Company announced a multi-year transformation  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 
focused on globalizing the Company's service organization and creating a unified center-led global organization for research and 
development, as well as transforming the Company's general and administrative cost structure. Restructuring charges of $7.7, 
$21.2  and  $11.6  for  the  years  ended  December 31,  2016,  2015  and  2014,  respectively,  related  to  the  Company’s multi-year 
transformation plan. As of December 31, 2016, the multi-year transformation plan is complete.

Integration Plan

As of August 15, 2016, the date of the Acquisition, the Company has launched the integration of operations designed to realize 
approximately $160 of annual synergies by 2019. This integration plan focuses on the utilization of cost efficiencies and synergy 
opportunities that result from the Acquisition. The Company incurred restructuring charges of $42.8 for the year ended December 
31, 2016 related to this plan. The Company anticipates additional restructuring costs of approximately $130 to be incurred through 
the end of the plan.

Delta Program

At the beginning of the 2015, Diebold Nixdorf AG initiated the Delta Program related to restructuring and realignment. As part 
of  a  change  process  that  spanned  several  years,  the  Delta  Program  was  designed  to  hasten  the  expansion  of  software  and 
professional services operations and to further enhance profitability in the services business. This program included expansion in 
the high-end fields of managed services and outsourcing. It also involved capacity adjustments on the hardware side, enabling 
the Company to respond more effectively to market volatility while maintaining its abilities with innovation. As of August 15, 2016, 
the date of the Acquisition, the restructuring accrual balance acquired was $45.5 and consisted of severance activities. The Company 
incurred restructuring charges of $3.2 for the year ended December 31, 2016 related to this plan. As of December 31, 2016, the 
Company does not anticipate additional restructuring costs to be incurred through the end of the plan.

Strategic Alliance Plan

On November 10, 2016, the Company entered into a strategic alliance with the Inspur Group, a Chinese cloud computing and 
data center company, to develop, manufacture and distribute FSS solutions in China. The Inspur Group holds a majority stake 
of 60.0 percent in the new jointly owned company, which is named Inspur (Suzhou) Financial Technology Service Co. Ltd. (Inspur 
JV). The Inspur JV will offer a complete range of self-service terminals within the Chinese market, including ATMs. The Company

will serve as the exclusive distributor outside of China for all products developed by the Inspur JV, which will be sold under the 
Diebold Nixdorf brand. The Company will not consolidate Inspur JV but includes the results of operations in equity in earnings of 
an investee included in other income (expense) of the consolidated statements of operations. In November 2016, the Inspur JV 
was formed and the Company does not expect a significant gain or loss from the transaction. The Company incurred restructuring 
charges of $5.7 for the year ended December 31, 2016 related to this plan. The Company anticipates additional restructuring costs 
of approximately $1.0 to be incurred through the end of the plan.

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 income (expense) of $(249.3), $(36.4) and $12.5 impacted the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015
and 2014, respectively. 

Net non-routine expense for the year ended December 31, 2016 was primarily due to acquisition, divestiture and integration 
related fees and expenses of $118.9 primarily included within selling and administrative expenses. Additionally, net non-routine 
expense included purchase accounting pretax charges related to deferred revenue of $16.2, inventory valuation adjustment of 
$62.7 and amortization of acquired intangibles of $49.7. Legal, indemnification and professional fees related to corporate monitor 
efforts were also included in net non-routine expense.

Net non-routine expense for the year ended December 31, 2015 was primarily due to potential acquisition and divestiture related 
costs  of $21.1  included  within  selling  and  administrative  expense.  Additionally,  net  non-routine  expense  included  legal, 
indemnification and professional fees related to corporate monitor efforts.

Net non-routine income for the year ended December 31, 2014 related primarily to a $13.7 pre-tax gain from the sale of the Eras, 
recognized in gain on sale of assets, net within the consolidated statements of operations, and $5.8 pre-tax adjustment related to 
indirect taxes in Brazil, within products cost of sales. These gains were partially offset by legal, indemnification and professional 
fees  paid  by  the  Company  in  connection  with  ongoing  obligations  related  to  a  prior  settlement  recorded within  selling  and 
administrative expense.

NOTE 22: SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company considers its operating structure and the information subject to regular review by its President and Chief Executive 
Officer, who  is  the  Chief  Operating  Decision  Maker  (CODM),  to  identify  reportable  operating  segments.  The  CODM  makes 
decisions, allocates resources and assesses performance by the following regions, which are also the Company’s four reportable 
operating segments: NA, AP, EMEA, and LA. The four geographic segments sell and service FSS, retail solutions and security 
systems around the globe, as well as elections, lottery and information technology solutions in Brazil other, through wholly-owned 
subsidiaries, majority-owned joint ventures and independent distributors in most major countries. In January 2015, the Company 
announced the realignment of its Brazil and LA businesses to drive greater efficiency and further improve customer service. The 
Company  reported  results  from  its  LA  and  Brazil  operations  under  one  single  reportable  operating  segment  and  reclassified 
comparative periods for consistency. The presentation of comparative periods also reflects the reclassification of certain global 
expenses from segment operating profit to corporate charges not allocated to segments due to the 2015 realignment activities.

Certain information not routinely used in the management of the segments, information not allocated back to the segments or 
information that is impractical to report is not shown. Segment operating profit is defined as revenues less expenses identifiable 
to the those segments. Segment operating income reconciles to consolidated income (loss) from continuing operations before 
income taxes by deducting corporate costs and other income or expense items that are not attributed to the segments. Further 
details regarding the Company's net non-routine income (expense) appear in note 18. Total assets are not allocated to segments 
and are not included in the assessment of segment performance and therefore are excluded from the segment information disclosed 
below.

In August 2016, in connection with the business combination agreement related to the Acquisition, the Company announced the 
realignment of its lines of business to drive greater efficiency and further improve customer service. As a result of the Acquisition, 
the Company has reorganized the management team reporting to the CODM and has begun evaluating and assessing the lines 
of business reporting structure. The Company does not anticipate the assessment to be completed until the first quarter of 2017. 
Beginning with the first quarter of 2017, the Company anticipates its reportable operating segments will be based on the conclusion 
of the assessment on the following lines of business: Services, Systems, and Software and will reclassify comparative periods for 
consistency. Until such assessment is completed, the CODM will continue to regularly review, make decisions, allocate resources 
and assess performance based on the current regional reportable operating segments.

NOTE 23: DIVESTITURES

In December 2015, the Company announced it was forming  a new strategic alliance with a subsidiary of the Inspur Group, a 
Chinese cloud computing and data center company, to develop, manufacture and distribute FSS solutions in China. The Inspur 
Group will hold a majority stake of 51.0 percent in the new jointly owned company, which will be named Inspur (Suzhou) Financial 
Technology Service Co. Ltd. (Inspur JV). The Inspur JV will offer a complete range of self-service terminals  within the Chinese 
market, including ATMs. The Company will serve as the exclusive distributor outside of China for all products developed by the 
Inspur JV, which will be sold under the Diebold Nixdorf brand. The Company will not consolidate Inspur JV but includes its results 
of operations in equity in earnings of an investee included in other income (expense) of the consolidated statements of operations. 
In November 2016, the Inspur JV was formed and the Company does not expect a significant gain or loss from the transaction.

In addition, to support the services-led approach to the market, the Company will divest a minority share of its current China 
operations to the Inspur Group. Moving forward, this business will be focused on providing a whole suite of services, including 
installation, maintenance, professional and managed services related to ATMs and other automated transaction solutions.

During the third quarter of 2016, the Company received cash proceeds of $27.7 related to the sale of stock in its Aevi International 
GmbH and Diebold Nixdorf AG China subsidiaries. In addition to the cash proceeds received, the Company recorded deferred 
payments of $44.7 for the divestiture of its Diebold Nixdorf AG China subsidiaries. The Diebold Nixdorf AG China sale was reflected 
in the opening balance sheet and no gain or loss was recorded. The Diebold Nixdorf AG China sale was in connection with the 
June 2016, Diebold Nixdorf AG announcement to establish a strategic alliance with Aisino Corporation, to position itself in China 
to offer solutions that meet Chinese banking regulations. Aisino Corporation is a Chinese company that specializes in intelligent 
anti-forgery tax control systems, electronic fund transfer (EFT) point of sale (POS) solutions, financial IC cards, bill receipt printing 
solutions and public IT security solutions. Following the closing of the transaction, the Company holds a noncontrolling interest 
in the Aisino JV of 43.6 percent. The Company will include the Aisino results of operations in equity in earnings of an investee 
included in other income (expense) of the consolidated statements of operations.

On October 25, 2015, the Company entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Securitas 
AB (Securitas Electronic Security) to divest its electronic security business located in the U.S. and Canada for an aggregate purchase 
price of $350.0 in cash, 10.0 percent of which was contingent based on the successful transition of certain customer relationships, 
which was paid in the first quarter of 2016. For ES to continue its growth, it would require resources and investment that Diebold 
Nixdorf is not committed to make given its focus on the self-service market. The Company recorded a pre-tax gain of $239.5 on 
the ES divestiture which was recognized during 2016.

The Company has also agreed to provide certain transition services to Securitas Electronic Security after the closing, including 
providing Securitas Electronic Security a $6.0 credit for such services, of which $5.0 relates to a quarterly payment to Securitas 
Electronic Security and $1.0 is a credit against payments due from Securitas Electronic Security. During the year ended December 31, 
2016, $5.0 was paid as part of the quarterly payments and $1.0 was used against amounts owed by Securitas Electronic Security.

The closing of the transaction occurred on February 1, 2016. The operating results for the NA electronic security business were 
previously included in the Company's NA segment and have been reclassified to discontinued operations for all of the periods 
presented. The assets and liabilities of this business were classified as held for sale in the Company's consolidated balance sheet 
as of December 31, 2015. Cash flows provided or used by the NA electronic security business are presented as cash flows from 
discontinued operations for all of the periods presented. The operating results, assets and liabilities and cash flows from discontinued 
operations are no longer included in the financial statements of the Company from the closing date.

On August 15, 2016, the Company acquired Diebold Nixdorf AG which was the primary driver of the results in the second half of 
the year. On February 1, 2016, the Company divested of its NA electronic security business resulting in a pre-tax gain of $239.5 
during the first quarter. Income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax during the second half of 2016 was impacted by 
increased interest expense and deal-related costs in connection with the Acquisition, of $97.2. Net loss in the first quarter of 2015 
was negatively impacted by the Company's sale of its equity interest in its Venezuela joint venture to its joint venture partner (refer 
to note 23), which resulted in an impairment charge of $10.3. In the first quarter of 2015, the Company also recorded a foreign 
exchange loss of $7.5 related to the devaluation of the Venezuelan currency. In the fourth quarter of 2015, the repatriation of 
foreign earnings, the associated recognition of foreign tax credits and related benefits due to the passage of the PATH Act, were 
recorded which resulted in a tax benefit (refer to note 7).

NOTE 26: SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR INFORMATION

The Company issued the 2024 Senior Notes in an offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in 
connection with the Acquisition. The 2024 Senior Notes are and will be guaranteed by certain of the Company's existing and 
future domestic subsidiaries. The following presents the condensed consolidating financial information separately for:

(i) Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated (the Parent Company), the issuer of the guaranteed obligations;

(ii) Guarantor Subsidiaries, on a combined basis, as specified in the indentures related to the Company's obligations under

the 2024 Senior Notes;

(iii) Consolidating entries and eliminations representing adjustments to (a) eliminate intercompany transactions between the
Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-guarantor Subsidiaries, (b) eliminate the investments in our
subsidiaries, and (c) record consolidating entries; and

(iv) Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated and Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

Each guarantor subsidiary is 100 percent owned by the Parent Company at the date of each balance sheet presented. The notes 
are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by each guarantor subsidiary. The guarantees of the guarantor 
subsidiaries are subject to release in limited circumstances only upon the occurrence of certain customary conditions. Each entity 
in the consolidating financial information follows the same accounting policies as described in the consolidated financial statements, 
except for the use by the Parent Company and the guarantor subsidiaries of the equity method of accounting to reflect ownership 
interests in subsidiaries which are eliminated upon consolidation. Changes in intercompany receivables and payables related to 
operations, such  as intercompany sales  or service charges, are included in cash flows  from operating  activities.  Intercompany 
transactions reported as investing or financing activities include the sale of capital stock of various subsidiaries, loans and other 
capital transactions between members of the consolidated group. 

Certain non-guarantor subsidiaries of the Parent Company are limited in their ability to remit funds to it by means of dividends, 
advances or loans due to required foreign government and/or currency exchange board approvals or limitations in credit agreements 
or other debt instruments of those subsidiaries.

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

Not applicable. 

ITEM 9A: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(in millions)

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed 
in  the  Company’s reports  under  the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934,  as  amended,  is  recorded, processed,  summarized  and 
reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and 
communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as 
appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and 
procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide 
only  reasonable assurance  of  achieving  the  desired control objectives,  and  management  is  required to  apply  its  judgment  in 
evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

The Company carries out a variety of on-going procedures, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s 
management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, to evaluate the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s 
disclosure controls and procedures. On August 15, 2016, the Company acquired Diebold Nixdorf AG. The scope of the Company's 
assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include this acquisition. The percentage of total 
assets  attributable  to  the  acquisition  represents  $2,753.0,  of  the  related  consolidated  financial  statement  amounts  as  of 
December 31, 2016. The total revenue attributable to the acquisition represents $1,054.8 of the related consolidated financial 
statement amounts for the year ended December 31, 2016. 

This exclusion is in accordance with the SEC's general guidance that an assessment of a recently acquired business may be omitted 
from the Company's scope in the year of acquisition. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the 
Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered 
by this report.

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

Management  is  responsible for  establishing  and  maintaining  adequate  internal  control over  financial  reporting, as  defined  in 
Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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.

Under  the  supervision  and  with  the  participation  of  management,  including  the  CEO  and  CFO,  the  Company  conducted  an 
evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal  control over financial reporting based on the framework in “Internal 
Control-Integrated  Framework  (2013  framework)”  issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the  Treadway 
Commission in 2013. Based on this assessment, management has concluded that the internal control over financial reporting was 
effective as of December 31, 2016.

Management's assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal  control over financial reporting as of December 31, 
2016 excluded from the scope of its assessment of internal control over financial reporting the operations and related assets of 
the Acquisition, which was acquired during 2016. SEC guidelines permit companies to omit an acquired business's internal controls 
over financial reporting from its management's assessment during the first year of an acquisition.

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, 2016. This report 
is included in Item 8 of this annual report on Form 10-K.

(b)  CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

We completed a phased implementation of enterprise resource planning systems in our NA operations. We believe we maintained 
appropriate internal controls during the implementation period and appropriate internal controls are in place post implementation. 
On August 15, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of Diebold Nixdorf AG. As permitted by SEC guidance, the scope 
of management’s evaluation of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016 did not include the internal control 
over financial reporting of the Acquisition. However, we are extending our oversight and monitoring processes that support our 
internal control over financial reporting to include Diebold Nixdorf AG's operations.

121

During the year ended December 31, 2016, there have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting 
during the period covered by this quarterly report on 10-K that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, 
our internal control over financial reporting.
