DIEBOLD NIXDORF 1 To Our Fellow Shareholders Being a member of the board of directors since 2014 and as non-executive chairman since January 2018, I’ve had the opportunity to observe Diebold Nixdorf’s strengths, capabilities, opportunities and challenges. In 2017, those challenges – including rapid, management and, when necessary, taking disruptive market transformation – took center decisive action to ensure that the organization stage, at times overshadowing the company’s and its teams are delivering results and notable successes. Although the company has creating sustainable value. made great strides in transforming itself over the past few years, our foremost responsibility is to create shareholder value and we have not yet achieved that objective. The board is determined to ensure necessary steps are implemented to increase the company’s focus and velocity, enabling it to fulfill its considerable potential. In December 2017, after the former CEO stepped down from his position, the board conducted a thoughtful and rigorous review of new candidates. To lead the company forward in its transformation, we moved decisively to hire Gerrard B. Schmid as Diebold Nixdorf’s new chief executive, effective February 2018. He is a proven leader who can strengthen Diebold Nixdorf’s strategic opportunity and accelerate strategic execution, unify the is sound, compelling and clearly defined: organization and build a performance-oriented to leverage market-leading capabilities culture around a common vision.

GREENFIELD Non-Executive Chairman of the Board ADVANTAGED IN A DYNAMIC While cash is still highly relevant today, the MARKET ENVIRONMENT The markets we serve are highly dynamic, with payment technologies, consumer behavior and consumer preferences that are changing rapidly. Whether making a purchase at a retailer, paying a bill, withdrawing, depositing or transferring funds, or managing their personal finances, consumers today want solutions that are convenient, seamless, secure and always available on any of their devices. demand for digital payment solutions is growing rapidly. As a result, the company is committed to bridging physical and digital currencies through our connected commerce solutions. Because of Diebold Nixdorf’s scale, market leadership and unique capabilities in systems, software and services, we are ideally positioned to lead and, in fact, define this emerging future. A WORLD LEADER IN DRIVING CONNECTED COMMERCE FOR MILLIONS OF CONSUMERS EACH DAY ACROSS THE FINANCIAL AND RETAIL INDUSTRIES DIEBOLD NIXDORF 3 MAXIMIZING THE OPPORTUNITIES: across mobile devices, fixed terminals and SYNERGY AND SOFTWARE online channels. Initial customer response In a year of significant market challenges, there were several positive developments that set the stage for improved performance going forward. We advanced post-acquisition integration by reducing the company’s global manufacturing footprint, simplifying the organization and optimizing the solutions portfolio – cutting the number of financial self-service terminal models by more than half – while also renegotiating more than 90 percent of our direct material spend. DN2020, a comprehensive program to drive efficiency through integration and operational excellence initiatives across the enterprise, achieved more than $100 million in savings in 2017. We expect to realize at least another $50 million in efficiencies in 2018, on a path to $240 million by 2020. We also strengthened our global leadership position in ATM software. Today, Diebold Nixdorf software powers the ATM networks of most of the largest financial institutions in the world, including 11 out of the top 15 in the Americas and 16 out of the top 20 in EMEA. In 2017, that leadership was fortified by the introduction of VynamicTM, the first end-to- end, connected commerce software portfolio designed to enable secure transactions was positive. We secured a new contract with JPMorgan Chase, the largest bank in the United States, to deploy Vynamic monitoring and fleet management software, and booked a major licensing agreement with Banco Santander in Mexico for omnichannel and Vynamic marketing applications. OPPORTUNISTICALLY MOBILE: NOW MORE THAN EVER Today’s financial technology environment is mobile-first, which means our mobile solutions portfolio must be top tier. In 2017, Diebold Nixdorf launched a new strategic partnership with, and equity ownership in, Kony to accelerate mobile transformation in financial services and retail industries worldwide. Kony is the world’s largest pure play enterprise mobility player, with more than 250 million app users globally. We also enhanced the managed services portfolio through the acquisition of Moxx and introduction of its managed mobility services which leverage the Internet of Things. We are moving beyond the point-of-sale device and self-service terminal to support all in-store or in-branch mobility devices, such as mobile self-scanners and peripherals. 4 2017 ANNUAL REPORT “We remain confident that Diebold Nixdorf enjoys competitive advantages that, when leveraged through improved speed and execution, will put the company on a course to create sustainable value. No other industry player has the scale, breadth of knowledge and integrated solutions to connect all the various transaction channels...” SQUARELY FACING OUR CHALLENGES As noted earlier, 2017 was also marked by challenges, including significant market headwinds that impacted our performance. On a global basis, ATM hardware demand softened, and the pace of customer decision making on large, complex projects slowed, resulting in a significant revenue impact in our Systems segment. This significantly impacted financial results. On a pro forma basis, net sales declined 7.2 percent from the previous year, to $4.61 billion. Full-year GAAP earnings per share attributable to Diebold Nixdorf, which includes the impact of restructuring and non-routine items, was a loss of $3.09. Net cash provided by operating activities was $37.1 million for the full year. While financial institutions are placing growing emphasis on mobile and digital channels – and in some cases delaying capital investments in branches and hardware – they continue to view the ATM as an important channel for automating routine tasks and providing enhanced customer experiences. This environment, combined with pending regulatory upgrades financial institutions will need to make to their ATM software security, underscores the opportunity we have to extend our reach in both these physical and digital channels. Moreover, the changes underway in banking create opportunities to monetize what’s been called the “long tail of cash.” Even though cash may decline as a percentage of transactions over time, it will remain an important form of payment for many years to come.

Customers of the Company include nearly all of the world’s top 100 financial institutions and a majority of the top 25 global retailers.

As a result of this 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 consumer experience at banking and retail locations while simultaneously streamlining cost structures and business processes through the smart integration of hardware, software and services.

Performance-based rewards and recognition policies are aligned with Company objectives and market opportunities. Pursuing Sales Excellence - a capable and progressive sales organization is vital to the future growth of the Company. The Company will invest in the sales organization to ensure it has the skills, resources, and processes needed to support customers in their digital transformation journey.

As a result of these investments, the Company expects to increase its pipeline of opportunities and increase its win rate over time. 3 The financial objective of DN2020 is to realize approximately $240 of cost savings through 2020, including improvements realized through the Acquisition. Cost savings include: • • • • • • Realizing volume discounts on direct materials Harmonizing the solutions set of platforms and components Increasing utilization rates of the service technicians Rationalizing facilities in the regions Streamlining corporate and general and administrative functions Harmonizing back office solutions. In order to achieve these savings, the Company has and will continue to invest significant dollars to restructure the workforce, integrate and optimize systems, streamline legal entities and consolidate real estate holdings. By executing these activities, the Company expects to deliver greater innovation for customers, career enrichment opportunities for employees, and enhanced value for shareholders.

The Company’s advisory services team collaborates with its clients to define the ideal customer experience, modify processes, refine existing staffing models and deploy technologies that meet business objectives. Segment financial information can be found in note 22 to the consolidated financial statements, which is contained in Item 8 of this annual report on Form 10-K. COMPETITION The Company competes with global, regional and local competitors to provide Connected Commerce solutions to financial institutions and retailers. Changing customer demands require the Company's customers to transform their business processes by investing in innovative technology. The Company differentiates its offerings by providing a wide range of innovative solutions. Based upon outside independent industry surveys from Retail Banking Research (RBR), the Company believes that it is a leading service provider and manufacturer of self-service solutions across the globe. The Company maintains a global service infrastructure that allows it to meet delivery deadlines. Many of the Company’s customers are beginning to adopt branch automation solutions which improve the customer experience and enhance efficiency. The complexity of new hardware, software and service solutions is resulting in longer sales and deployment cycles for large projects. As the trend towards branch and store automation continues, the traditional lines of “behind the counter” and “in front of the counter” solutions are eroding, which creates additional opportunity for the Company while increasing the number of competitors. The Company differentiates its offerings by leveraging innovations in advanced security, biometric authentication, mobile connectivity to support contactless transactions, advanced sensors, cloud computing and the Internet of Things to facilitate real-time monitoring activities, and miniaturization technologies. With regard to Microsoft’s plan to end support for Windows 7 in 2020, Diebold Nixdorf became the first ATM provider to ship Windows 10 ready products. Competitors in the self-service banking market include NCR, Nautilus Hyosung, GRG Banking Equipment, Glory Global Solutions, Oki Data and Triton Systems, as well as a number of localized manufacturing and service providers such as Fujitsu and Hitachi- Omron in Asia Pacific (AP); Hantle/GenMega in North America (NA); KEBA in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA); and Perto in Latin America (LA). In a number of markets, the Company sells to but also competes with independent ATM deployers such as Cardtronics, Payment Alliance International and Euronet. In Brazil, the Company provides election systems, lottery terminals and product support to the Brazil government. Competition in this market segment is based upon technology pre-qualification demonstrations. In the retail market, the Company is a market leader in helping retailers to transform their stores to a consumer-centric approach by providing electronic POS (ePOS), automated checkout solutions, cash management, a software suite and services for the majority of retailers headquartered in Europe. The Company, competes with the key players highlighted above plus other technology firms such as Toshiba and Fujitsu and specialized software players such a GK Software, Oracle, Aptos and PCMS. Many retailers also work with proprietary software solutions. For its services offerings, the Company perceives competition to be fragmented, especially in the product related services segment. While other manufacturers provide basic levels of product support, the competition also includes local and regional third-party providers. With respect to higher value managed services, the Company competes with large IT service providers such as IBM, Atos, Fiserv and DXC Technology. 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, or with the internal software development teams of banks and retailers. 6 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 honed its offerings to become a total solutions provider with a focus on Connected Commerce. As a result of the emphasis on services and software, the nature of the Company's workforce is changing and new skill sets are required such as: Advanced security and compliance measures, Advanced sensors, • • • Modern field services operations, • • • Cloud computing, Analytics, and As-a-service software expertise. 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, 2017, the Company’s net investment in finance lease receivables was $26.3. PRODUCT BACKLOG The Company's product backlog, was $1,026.7 and $1,060.0 as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The backlog generally includes orders estimated or projected to be shipped or installed within 18 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. RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT AND ENGINEERING In order to meet growing customer demand for innovative Connected Commerce solutions, the Company continues to invest in technology solutions that enable customers to reduce costs, increase convenience and improve efficiency. Expenditures for research, development and engineering initiatives were $155.5, $110.2 and $86.9 in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company recently announced a number of new innovative solutions, such as the new Extreme ATM™ concept, biometric-enabled solutions, the responsive banking concept, Essence, Fusion, Vynamic and Cash Cube. 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 2017 had no material effect upon the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations. EMPLOYEES At December 31, 2017, the Company employed approximately 23,000 associates globally. As a result of the 2016 acquisition of Diebold Nixdorf AG, the Company has significantly increased its presence around the world and now conducts business in more than 130 countries.

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 depends upon, 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 involves complex operational, technological and personnel-related challenges. This process can 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 coverages; unanticipated issues in coordinating accounting, IT, communications, administration and other systems; difficulty addressing possible differences in corporate cultures and management philosophies; challenges associated with continuing to maintain the Acquisition's financial reporting in accordance with both accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (U.S GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the ongoing costs of 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; 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 Nixdorf, 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 Acquisition. 9 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) has been challenged by certain minority shareholders of Diebold Nixdorf AG, who have initiated 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’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 business activities. • • • • 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 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, 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. 10 The terms of the credit agreement governing our senior credit facility and the high-yield notes (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. 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 IT infrastructure, which may include multiple systems from various acquisitions and integrating software code; • minimizing the diversion of management attention from ongoing business concerns; 11 • • • • 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 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; disruptive technologies; 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, including branch closures, 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. The Company’s ability to deliver products that satisfy customer requirements is dependent on the performance of its subcontractors and suppliers, as well as on the availability of raw materials and other components. We rely on other companies, including subcontractors and suppliers, to provide and produce raw materials, integrated components and sub-assemblies and production commodities included in, or used in the production of, our products. If one or more of our subcontractors or suppliers experiences delivery delays or other performance problems, we may be unable to meet commitments to our customers or incur additional costs. In some instances, we depend upon a single source of supply. Any service disruption from one of these suppliers, either due to circumstances beyond the supplier’s control, such as geo-political developments, or as a result of performance problems or financial difficulties, could have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet commitments to our customers or increase our operating costs. 12 Increased energy, raw material and labor 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 services, software and systems 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. We cannot assure that our labor costs going forward will remain competitive or will not increase. In the future, our labor agreements may be amended, or become amendable, and new agreements could have terms with higher labor costs. In addition, our labor costs may increase in connection with our growth. We may also become subject to collective bargaining agreements in the future in the event that non-unionized workers may unionize. Although we attempt to pass on higher energy, raw material and labor 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. 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 DN2020 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. 13 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. 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, 2017 to be up to $144.7 for its material indirect tax matters. 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. On December 22, 2017, U.S. tax reform legislation informally known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Tax Act) was signed into law. The Tax Act makes substantial changes to U.S. tax law, including a reduction in the corporate tax rate, a limitation on deductibility of interest expense, a limitation on the use of net operating losses to offset future taxable income, the allowance of immediate expensing of capital expenditures, deemed repatriation of foreign earnings and significant changes to the taxation of foreign earnings going forward. We expect the Tax Act to have significant effects on us, some of which may be adverse. We expect impacts on our financial statements to tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities and accrued taxes during the prescribed measurement period. The extent of the impact remains uncertain at this time and is subject to any other regulatory or administrative developments, including any regulations or other guidance promulgated by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The Tax Act contains numerous, complex provisions impacting U.S. multinational companies, and we continue to review and assess the legislative language and its potential impact on us. 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 77.5 percent in 2017, 69.2 percent in 2016 and 58.1 percent in 2015 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 (EUR) and Great Britain pound sterling (GBP)), China (renminbi) and Brazil (real); transportation delays and interruptions; political and economic instability and disruptions, including the impact on trade agreements; 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; increasingly complex laws and regulations concerning privacy and data security, including the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation; labor unrest and current and changing regulatory environments; the uncertainty of product acceptance by different cultures; 14 • • • • • the risks of divergent business expectations or cultural incompatibility inherent in establishing strategic alliances 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. dollar (USD). 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 strategic alliances, 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. 15 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, 2017, we had $1,117.1 of goodwill. We assess all existing goodwill at least annually for impairment on a reporting unit basis. Beginning with the first quarter of 2017, the Company’s reportable operating segments are the following lines of business: Software, Systems, and Services. 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 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 IT 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, service customers 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 IT 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. 16 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 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. 17 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 $49.6 in 2018. The Company anticipates reimbursement of approximately $14 certain benefits paid from its trustee in 2018. Changes in the current assumptions and estimates could result in contributions in years beyond 2018 that are greater than the projected 2018 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. 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., infringed upon the Company's patents. The ITC instituted an investigation and, in February 2017, issued a final determination that Nautilus Hyosung products infringe two of the Company's patents. The ITC further issued an exclusion order and cease and desist order which bar the importation and sale of certain Nautilus Hyosung deposit automation enabled ATMs and modules in the U.S. 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. In July 2017, the ITC dismissed three of theses retaliatory claims and ruled that a legacy Wincor product technically infringes one Nautilus Hyosung patent. The Company has appealed this one ruling and will continue to vindicate its intellectual property against infringement by others. 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. 18 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. In addition, the Company’s business is subject to the U.K. Modern Slavery Act 2015 and the California Transparency in Supply Chain Act and similar laws and regulations, which relate to human trafficking, anti-slavery and impose compliance requirements on businesses and their suppliers. Economic conditions and regulatory changes leading up to and following the United Kingdom’s likely exit from the European Union (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. Our actual operating results may differ significantly from our guidance. From time to time, we release guidance, including and guidance that we may include in the reports that we file with the SEC regarding our future performance. This guidance, which consists of forward-looking statements, is prepared by our management and is qualified by, and subject to, the assumptions and the other information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as the factors described under “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation - Forward-Looking Statement Disclosure.” Our guidance is not prepared with a view toward compliance with published guidelines of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and neither our independent registered public accounting firm nor any other independent or outside party compiles or examines the guidance and, accordingly, no such person expresses any opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto. Guidance is based upon a number of assumptions and estimates that, while presented with numerical specificity, are inherently subject to business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and are based upon specific assumptions with respect to future business decisions, some of which will change. The principal reason that we release such data is to provide a basis for our management to discuss our business outlook with analysts and investors. We do not accept any responsibility for any projections or reports published by any such persons. Guidance is necessarily speculative in nature, and it can be expected that some or all of the assumptions of the guidance furnished by us will not materialize or will vary significantly from actual results. Accordingly, our guidance is only an estimate of what management believes is realizable as of the date of release. Actual results will vary from the guidance. Investors should also recognize that the reliability of any forecasted financial data diminishes the farther in the future that the data are forecast. In light of the foregoing, investors are urged to put the guidance in context and not to place undue reliance on it. 19 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, 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. 20 ITEM 1B: UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS None. ITEM 2: PROPERTIES The Company's corporate offices are located in North Canton, Ohio and Paderborn, Germany. The Company owns or leases and operates manufacturing facilities primarily related to our Systems LOB in Greensboro, North Carolina, Brazil, China, India and Germany. The Company leases a software development center in Canada related to our Software LOB. The following are our principal locations in which the Company owns or leases and operates selling, service and administrative offices in its three lines of business Services, Software and Systems: Americas Barbados Belize Bolivia Brazil Canada Chile Colombia Costa Rica Haiti Honduras Jamaica Mexico Nicaragua Panama Paraguay Peru Dominican Republic Uruguay Ecuador El Salvador Guatemala Venezuela United States Algeria Austria Belgium Czech Republic Denmark Finland France Germany Greece Hungary Ireland EMEA Israel Italy Russia Slovakia AP Australia China Luxembourg South Africa Hong Kong Malta Morocco Namibia Netherlands Nigeria Norway Poland Portugal Spain Sweden Switzerland Turkey Uganda Ukraine United Arab Emirates United Kingdom India Indonesia Malaysia Philippines Singapore Taiwan Thailand Vietnam The Company considers that its properties are generally in good condition, are well maintained, and are generally suitable and adequate to carry on the Company's business. ITEM 3: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (dollars in millions) At December 31, 2017, 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, 2017: 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, 2017, 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. 21 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, 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. On September 10, 2012, the Company filed its administrative defenses with the tax authorities. In March 2017, the administrative proceedings concluded and the assessment was reduced approximately 95 percent to a total of R$17.3 including penalties and interest as of March 2017. The Company is pursuing its remedies in the judicial sphere and management continues to believe that it has valid legal positions. 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. Additionally, the Company has challenged the 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, challenged 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. In August 2017, the Supreme Court of Thailand ruled in the Company's favor, finding that Customs' attempt to collect duties for importation of ATMs is improper. In addition, in August 2016 and February 2017, the tax court of appeals rendered decisions in favor of the Company related to more than half of the assessments at issue. The surviving matters remain at various stages of the appeals process and the Company will use the Supreme Court's decision in support of its position in those matters. Management remains confident that the Company has a valid legal position in these appeals. Accordingly, the Company does not have any amount accrued for this contingency. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had an accrual related to the Brazil indirect tax matter disclosed above of $4.9 and $7.3, respectively. The reduction in the accrual is due to the expiration of the statute of limitations related to years subject to audit and foreign currency fluctuations 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, 2017 to be up to $144.7 for its material indirect tax matters, of which $25.7 and $27.0, 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. ITEM 4: MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES Not applicable. 22 PART II ITEM 5: MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES The common shares of the Company are listed on the New York Stock Exchange with a symbol of “DBD.” The price ranges of common shares of the Company for the periods indicated below are as follows: 1st Quarter 2nd Quarter 3rd Quarter 4th Quarter Full Year 2017 2016 2015 High Low High Low High Low $ $ $ $ $ 31.85 $ 30.70 $ 28.50 $ 23.50 $ 31.85 $ 24.90 $ 25.50 $ 17.95 $ 16.00 $ 16.00 $ 29.80 $ 28.81 $ 29.01 $ 25.90 $ 29.80 $ 22.84 $ 23.10 $ 23.95 $ 21.05 $ 21.05 $ 36.49 $ 38.94 $ 35.79 $ 37.98 $ 38.94 $ 30.63 33.21 29.16 29.60 29.16 There were 51,968 shareholders of the Company at December 31, 2017, which includes an estimated number of shareholders who have shares held in their accounts by banks, brokers, and trustees for benefit plans and the agent for the dividend reinvestment plan. On the basis of amounts paid and declared quarterly, the annualized dividends per share were $0.40, $0.96 and $1.15 in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Information concerning the Company’s share repurchases made during the fourth quarter of 2017: Period October November December Total Total Number of Shares Purchased (1) Average Price Paid Per Share Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans Maximum Number of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans (2) 4,117 $ — $ 8,084 $ 12,201 $ 23.21 — 17.76 19.60 — — — — 2,426,177 2,426,177 2,426,177 (1) All shares were surrendered or deemed surrendered to the Company in connection with the Company’s stock-based compensation plans. (2) The total number of shares repurchased as part of the publicly announced share repurchase plan was 13,450,772 as of December 31, 2017.

Net sales increased $1,293.0 or 39.0 percent including incremental net sales from the Acquisition of $1,517.7 and a net favorable currency impact of $88.3 primarily related to the euro and the Brazil real. Net sales were adversely impacted by $30.4 related to deferred revenue purchase accounting adjustments. The amounts attributable to the Acquisition are impacted by the alignment and integration of customer portfolios, solution offerings and operations between the legacy companies, which may result in unfavorable comparisons to prior year. The following results include the impact of foreign currency and purchase accounting adjustments: Segments • • • Services net sales increased $670.6, which included incremental net sales from the Acquisition of $652.5 and a net favorable currency impact of $40.1. Excluding the incremental net sales from the Acquisition and currency, net sales decreased $22.0 attributable to the run-off of multi-vendor service contracts as well as lower installation revenue tied to decreased systems volumes in the Americas. This was partially offset by higher managed services net sales in AP. Services net sales in 2017 also included an unfavorable impact of $15.2 related to purchase accounting adjustments, which was an increase of $7.1 compared to the prior year. Software net sales increased $220.3, which included incremental net sales from the Acquisition of $202.5 and a net favorable currency impact of $11.1. Excluding the incremental net sales from the Acquisition and currency, net sales increased $6.7 primarily related to higher volume and project activity in EMEA. This increase was partially offset by lower volume in the Americas and AP as noted below. Systems net sales increased $402.1, including incremental net sales from the Acquisition of $662.7 and a net favorable currency impact of $37.1. Excluding the incremental net sales from the Acquisition and currency, net sales decreased $297.7 as systems net sales were adversely impacted by lower banking solutions activity across the Company and lower retail solutions activity in the Americas. The banking volume declines were primarily due to lower banking project activity in the Americas and EMEA and from structural changes in the AP market. Systems net sales in 2017 also included an unfavorable impact of $15.2 related to purchase accounting adjustments, which was an increase of $7.1 compared to the prior year. 28 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS as of December 31, 2017 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES (unaudited) (in millions, except per share amounts) Geographic Regions • • • Americas net sales decreased $56.5 or 3.4 percent. The incremental net sales from the Acquisition accounted for $105.8. Excluding the incremental net sales from the Acquisition, net sales decreased $162.3 as a result of fewer large systems projects across the Americas, including Brazil voting solutions which was down $54.3 and Mexico banking solutions. In addition, lower services revenue in North America related to a decrease in multi-vendor service contract volume and lower installations resulting from the decrease in large systems projects. EMEA net sales increased $1,196.9 or 101.2 percent. The incremental net sales from the Acquisition accounted for $1,228.2. Excluding the incremental net sales from the Acquisition, net sales decreased $31.3 primarily attributable to a large prior year systems project in Turkey that was not replicated in 2017 as well as lower systems volume in Germany. Additionally, lower sales in the U.K. also contributed to the decrease related to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) review and ultimate divestiture of the Company’s legacy banking business on June 30, 2017. The systems decrease was offset in part by services as a result of higher retail solutions activity and software which benefited from increased volume across the geographic region. AP net sales increased $152.6 or 32.4 percent. The incremental net sales from the Acquisition accounted for $183.7. Excluding the incremental net sales from the Acquisition, net sales decreased $31.1 primarily due to lower systems volume related to the market structure change in China, partially offset by higher services sales in India. Solutions • • Banking net sales increased $629.1 or 22.5 percent . The incremental net sales from the Acquisition accounted for $836.4. Excluding the incremental net sales from the Acquisition, net sales decreased $207.3 primarily due to lower systems volumes and the associated installation activity across the Company, with lower large project activity impacting all regions. Additionally, banking services decreased primarily due to the run-off of multi-vendor service contracts in the Americas and an incremental $8.5 related to purchase accounting adjustments. These decreases were partially offset by higher banking services sales in AP. Retail net sales increased $663.9 or 128.6 percent. The incremental net sales from the Acquisition accounted for $681.3. Excluding the incremental net sales from the Acquisition, net sales decreased $17.4 due to lower demand for voting solutions in Brazil of $54.3. Lower voting solutions volume was partially offset by increased services and software revenue in EMEA and higher systems volume and the associated services in AP. Gross Profit The following table represents information regarding our gross profit for the years ended December 31: Gross profit - services and software Gross profit - systems Total gross profit Gross margin - services and software Gross margin - systems Total gross margin 2017 2016 $ Change % Change $ $ 712.9 296.8 1,009.7 $ $ 580.8 140.9 721.7 $ $ 132.1 155.9 288.0 22.7 N/M 39.9 24.8% 17.1% 21.9% 29.3% 10.6% 21.8% Services and software gross margin was lower in 2017 due in part to the impact of the Acquisition, which utilizes a third-party labor model to support its service and software revenue stream, resulting in a dilutive effect on margins. Services and software gross margin was adversely impacted by higher non-routine and restructuring costs compared to the prior year, as 2017 included non- routine charges of $41.5 primarily related to restructuring charges of $27.4 and purchase accounting adjustments associated with the Acquisition. Additionally, gross margin was also impacted by lower contract maintenance revenue in Americas combined with increased labor costs and investments. The labor investments are a result of higher turnover rates of technicians and the associated training to support additional product lines. Systems gross margin in 2017 increased primarily as a result of higher non-routine costs in the prior year of $90.1 compared to $39.8 in 2017. The higher non–routine costs in the prior year primarily relate to purchase accounting adjustments to record inventory 29 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS as of December 31, 2017 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES (unaudited) (in millions, except per share amounts) acquired in the Acquisition at fair value. Additionally, the incremental gross profit associated with the Acquisition includes higher margin business across both banking and retail solutions. Operating Expenses The following table represents information regarding our operating expenses for the years ended December 31: Selling and administrative expense Research, development and engineering expense Impairment of assets (Gain) loss on sale of assets, net Total operating expenses 2017 2016 $ Change % Change $ $ 933.7 $ 155.5 3.1 1.0 761.2 $ 110.2 9.8 0.3 1,093.3 $ 881.5 $ 172.5 45.3 (6.7) 0.7 211.8 22.7 41.1 (68.4) N/M 24.0 The selling and administrative expense in 2017 increased $172.5 inclusive of incremental expenses from the Acquisition of $272.4 and an unfavorable currency impact of $17.9. Excluding the impact of currency and the Acquisition, selling and administrative expense decreased $117.8 from the overall cost reductions tied to DN2020 as well as lower incentive compensation expense related to the Company's annual incentive plans. Additionally, there were decreases noted in restructuring and non-routine costs primarily related to legal, acquisition and divestiture expenses. Selling and administrative non-routine expenses were $175.4 and $150.8 in 2017 and 2016, respectively. The primary components of the non-routine expenses in 2017 pertained to acquisition and divestiture costs, including related integration activities, totaling $85.0, purchase accounting adjustments of $85.0 related to intangible asset amortization and executive severance of $5.4. The year-over-year increase was primarily related to incremental purchase accounting and integration expenses offset by a decrease in legal, acquisition and divestiture costs. Selling and administrative expense included restructuring charges of $21.3 and $28.8 in 2017 and 2016, respectively. Research, development and engineering expense increased by $45.3 to $155.5 in 2017 due primarily to incremental expense associated with the Acquisition of $62.7. Excluding the incremental impact of the Acquisition, expense was favorably impacted by the benefits of streamlining the cost structure as part of the Company's integration activities. Research, development and engineering expense included restructuring reversals of $(1.1) in 2017 compared to $5.1 of restructuring costs in 2016. In 2017, the Company recorded impairments totaling $3.1 related to IT transformation and integration activities. In 2017, the loss on sale of assets was primarily related to the divestiture of the Company's electronic security (ES) business in Chile and from building closures in EMEA due to integration efforts. These losses were partially offset by a gain on sale of assets primarily related to the Company's divestiture of its business in the U.K. and its ES business in Mexico. Operating expense as a percent of net sales in 2017 was 23.7 percent compared with 26.6 percent in 2016 due to increased revenue and overall cost reductions tied to DN2020 which more than offset the incremental operating costs from the Acquisition. Operating Profit (Loss) The following table represents information regarding our operating profit (loss) for the years ended December 31: Operating profit (loss) Operating margin 2017 2016 $ Change % Change $ (83.6) $ (159.8) $ 76.2 (47.7) (1.8)% (4.8)% The operating loss decreased in 2017 compared to 2016 primarily due to higher gross margin that more than offset an increase in operating expense, which included amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring and non-routine costs related to acquisitions and divestitures. 30 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS as of December 31, 2017 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES (unaudited) (in millions, except per share amounts) Other Income (Expense) The following table represents information regarding our other income (expense) for the years ended December 31: Interest income Interest expense Foreign exchange gain (loss), net Miscellaneous, net Other income (expense) 2017 2016 $ Change % Change $ $ 20.3 $ 21.5 $ (117.3) (3.9) 8.8 (101.4) (2.1) 3.5 (92.1) $ (78.5) $ (1.2) (15.9) (1.8) 5.3 (13.6) (5.6) 15.7 (85.7) N/M 17.3 The decrease in interest income in 2017 compared with 2016, was a result of lower interest income of the Company's marketable securities, which are primarily held for cash management in Brazil. Interest expense was higher in 2017 associated with the financing required for the Acquisition, offset by improved interest rates from the Company's repricing certain of its debt in May 2017. Foreign exchange gain (loss), net in 2017 was unfavorable as a result of the incremental impact of the Acquisition. Miscellaneous, net in 2017 consisted primarily of income from the Aisino and Inspur strategic alliances in China. Miscellaneous, net in 2016 included a mark-to-market net gain of $9.2 associated with the Company's foreign currency option contracts entered and foreign currency forward contract and $6.3 in financing fees related to the Company’s bridge financing required for the Acquisition. Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations, net of tax The following table represents information regarding our net income from continuing operations, net of tax for the years ended December 31: Income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax $ (205.5) $ (170.7) $ (34.8) 20.4 2017 2016 $ Change % Change Percent of net sales Effective tax rate (benefit) (4.5)% (17.0)% (5.1)% (28.4)% Income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax was $(205.5). The increase is primarily due to the reasons described above and the change in income tax (benefit) expense. The effective tax rate for 2017 (17.0) percent on the overall loss from continuing operations. The U.S. enacted the Tax Act that was signed into law by the President on December 22, 2017. The Tax Act changed many aspects of U.S. corporate income taxation and included a reduction of the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, implementation of a territorial tax system and imposition of a tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. The resulting impact to the Company is an estimated $45.1 reduction to deferred income taxes for the income tax rate change and an estimated one-time non-cash charge of $36.6 related to deferred foreign earnings. Due to the complexities involved in accounting for the recently enacted Tax Act, the U.S. SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 118 requires that the Company include in its financial statements the reasonable estimate of the impact of the Tax Act on earnings to the extent such reasonable estimate has been determined. The Company recorded a reasonable estimate of such effects, the net one-time charge related to the Tax Act may differ, possibly materially, due to, among other things, further refinement of its calculations, changes in interpretations and assumptions, additional guidance that may be issued by the U.S. Government, and actions and related accounting policy decisions the Company may take as a result of the Tax Act. The Company will complete its analysis over a one-year measurement period ending December 31, 2018 and any adjustments during this measurement period will be included in net earnings from continuing operations as an adjustment to income tax expense in the reporting period when such adjustments are determined. The effective tax rate for 2016 of 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) and varying respective statutory rates within the acquired entities.

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. Segment Net Sales and Operating Profit Summary The following tables represent information regarding the Company's net sales and operating profit by reporting segment: Services: Net sales Segment operating profit (loss) Segment operating profit margin 2017 2,397.3 344.8 2016 1,726.7 298.7 $ $ $ $ $ $ 14.4% 17.3% $ Change % Change 670.6 46.1 38.8 15.4 Services net sales increased $670.6 including incremental net sales from the Acquisition of $652.5 and a net favorable currency impact of $40.1. Excluding the incremental net sales from the Acquisition and currency, net sales decreased $22.0 attributable to the run-off of multi-vendor service contracts as well as lower installation revenue tied to decreased systems volumes in the Americas. This was partially offset by higher managed services net sales in AP. Services net sales in 2017 also included an unfavorable impact of $15.2 related to purchase accounting adjustments, which was an increase of $7.1 compared to the prior year. Segment operating profit increased $46.1 in 2017 compared to 2016. The incremental portion from the Acquisition accounted for $27.2 in operating profit inclusive of restructuring and non-routine items of $39.4 in 2017. Excluding the incremental portion from the Acquisition in addition to restructuring and non-routine items, segment operating profit decreased $20.5 in 2017 driven by lower gross profit partially offset by lower operating expense. Gross profit decreased as a result of contract maintenance revenue declines in the Americas combined with increased labor investments. The labor investments are a result of higher turnover rates of technicians and the associated training to support additional product lines. Additionally, 2017 was adversely impacted by lower installation gross profit as a result of decreased systems volumes. The segment benefited from lower operating expense related to cost reduction activities. Segment operating profit margin decreased primarily due to the impact of the Acquisition, which utilizes a higher third-party labor model to support its service and software revenue stream, resulting in a dilutive effect on margins in 2017. Software: Net sales Segment operating profit (loss) Segment operating profit margin 2017 2016 $ Change % Change $ $ 476.6 33.7 $ $ 7.1% 256.3 9.6 3.7% $ $ 220.3 24.1 86.0 N/M Software net sales increased $220.3 including incremental net sales from the Acquisition of $202.5 and a net favorable currency impact of $11.1. Excluding the incremental net sales from the Acquisition and currency, net sales increased $6.7 primarily related to higher volume and project activity in EMEA. This increase was partially offset by lower volume in the Americas and AP as noted earlier. Segment operating profit increased $24.1 in 2017. The Acquisition contributed an incremental $16.9 segment operating profit in 2017. Excluding the incremental portion from the Acquisition, operating profit increased $7.2 driven by higher gross profit and lower operating expense in EMEA. Segment operating profit margin increased due to the positive incremental impact of the acquired software business as well as lower operating expense resulting from the cost reduction activities in 2017. Systems: Net sales Segment operating profit (loss) Segment operating profit margin 2017 1,735.4 (24.2) 2016 1,333.3 (24.7) $ $ $ $ $ $ (1.4)% (1.9)% $ Change % Change 402.1 0.5 30.2 (2.0) Systems net sales increased $402.1, including incremental net sales from the Acquisition of $662.7 and a net favorable currency impact of $37.1. Excluding the incremental net sales from the Acquisition and currency, net sales decreased $297.7 as systems net sales were adversely impacted by lower banking solutions activity across the Company, including structural changes in the AP 32 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS as of December 31, 2017 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES (unaudited) (in millions, except per share amounts) market and lower retail solutions activity in the Americas. Systems net sales in 2017 also included an unfavorable impact of $15.2 related to purchase accounting adjustments, which was an increase of $7.1 compared to the prior year. Segment operating loss in 2017 remained flat compared to the prior year. The incremental portion from the Acquisition was a $16.5 operating profit, inclusive of restructuring and non-routine items of $41.5 in 2017.Excluding the incremental portion from the Acquisition in addition to restructuring and non-routine items, operating profit decreased 57.8 in 2017. The decrease in segment operating profit was derived from lower gross profit due to volume declines in the Americas, higher project activity in EMEA during the prior year and structural market changes in AP. Lower gross profit was partially offset by favorable operating expense in EMEA. Segment operating profit margin was flat to prior year due to the incremental benefit of the Acquisition and lower operating expense resulting from the cost reduction integration activities offset by lower banking solution activity across the Company. Refer to note 22 to the consolidated financial statements, which is contained in Item 8 of this annual report on Form 10-K, for further details of segment revenue and operating profit. 2016 comparison with 2015 Net Sales The following table represents information regarding our net sales for the years ended December 31: 2016 2015 % Change % Change in CC (1) Percent of Total Net Sales for the Year Ended 2015 2016 Segments Services Software Systems Net sales Geographic regions Americas EMEA AP Net sales Solutions Banking Retail Net sales $ $ $ $ $ $ 1,726.7 $ 256.3 1,333.3 3,316.3 $ 1,295.7 139.1 984.5 2,419.3 1,662.3 $ 1,183.2 470.8 3,316.3 $ 1,573.4 406.3 439.6 2,419.3 2,799.9 $ 516.4 3,316.3 $ 2,401.5 17.8 2,419.3 33.3 84.3 35.4 37.1 5.7 191.2 7.1 37.1 16.6 N/M 37.1 35.5 87.9 39.4 40.1 6.9 202.8 12.0 40.1 19.1 N/M 40.1 52.1 7.7 40.2 100.0 50.1 35.7 14.2 100.0 84.4 15.6 100.0 53.6 5.7 40.7 100.0 65.0 16.8 18.2 100.0 99.3 0.7 100.0 (1) The Company calculates constant currency by translating the prior-year period results at the current year exchange rate. Net sales increased $897.0 or 37.1 percent including incremental net sales from the Acquisition of $1,054.8 and a net unfavorable currency impact of $52.5 primarily related to the Brazil real, China renminbi, India rupee and South Africa rand. In addition, net sales was adversely impacted $16.2 related to deferred revenue purchase accounting adjustments. The following results include the impact of foreign currency and purchase accounting adjustments: Segments • • Services net sales increased $431.0 including incremental net sales from the Acquisition of $434.6 and a net unfavorable currency impact of $21.6. Excluding the incremental net sales from the Acquisition and currency, net sales increased $26.7 attributable to higher maintenance service revenue related to an increase in multi-vendor service contracts in the Americas. This was partially offset by lower net sales across service business lines in AP resulting from market structure changes in the region. Services net sales also included an unfavorable impact of $8.1 related to purchase accounting adjustments. Software net sales increased $117.2 including incremental net sales from the Acquisition of $146.0 and a net unfavorable currency impact of $2.7. Excluding the incremental net sales from the Acquisition and currency, net sales decreased $26.1 primarily related to lower volumes in the Americas and EMEA. 33 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS as of December 31, 2017 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES (unaudited) (in millions, except per share amounts) • Systems net sales increased $348.8, including incremental net sales from the Acquisition of $474.2 and a net unfavorable currency impact of $28.2. Excluding the incremental net sales from the Acquisition and currency, net sales decreased $105.9 as systems net sales were adversely impacted by lower banking solution activity across the Company. In the Americas and EMEA, the volume declines were primarily due to lower banking project activity and in AP mainly due to structural changes in the market. This was partially offset by higher retail solutions activity in the Americas. Systems net sales also included an unfavorable impact of $8.1 related to purchase accounting adjustments. A more detailed discussion of segment net sales is included under "Segment Net Sales and Operating Profit Summary" below. Geographic Regions • • • Americas net sales increased $88.9 or 5.7 percent. The incremental net sales from the Acquisition accounted for $89.4. Excluding the incremental net sales from the Acquisition, net sales was flat. The Americas benefited from higher systems retail solutions in Brazil and higher services revenue related to an increase in multi-vendor service contract volume. This was offset by fewer large systems banking projects across the region and a decrease in software revenue associated with the conclusion of Agilis 3/Windows 7 upgrade activity. EMEA net sales increased $776.9 or 191.2 percent. The incremental net sales from the Acquisition accounted for $822.1. Excluding the incremental net sales from the Acquisition, net sales decreased $45.2 primarily attributable to fewer large projects in the Middle East, United Kingdom and Poland in conjunction with lower overall software volume. AP net sales increased $31.2 or 7.1 percent. The incremental net sales from the Acquisition accounted for $143.3. Excluding the incremental net sales from the Acquisition, net sales decreased $112.1 primarily due to lower systems and services volume related to the market structure changes in China and the local government's demonetization program in India. Solutions • • Banking net sales increased $398.4 or 16.6 percent. The incremental net sales from the Acquisition accounted for $616.7. Excluding the incremental net sales from the Acquisition, net sales decreased $218.3 primarily due to lower systems volumes across the Company with lower large project activity impacting all regions. In addition, banking software decreased primarily due to the completion of the Agilis 3/Windows 7 upgrade activity in the Americas. Banking net sales was also unfavorably impacted by $9.8 related to purchase accounting adjustments. Retail net sales increased $498.6. The incremental net sales from the Acquisition accounted for $438.1. Excluding the incremental net sales from the Acquisition, net sales increased $60.5 due to higher demand in Brazil for voting solutions and was unfavorably impacted by $6.4 related to purchase accounting adjustments. Gross Profit The following table represents information regarding our gross profit for the years ended December 31: Gross profit - services and software Gross profit - systems Total gross profit Gross margin - services and software Gross margin - systems Total gross margin 2016 2015 $ Change % Change $ $ 580.8 140.9 721.7 $ $ 488.0 164.0 652.0 $ $ 92.8 (23.1) 69.7 19.0 (14.1) 10.7 29.3% 10.6% 21.8% 34.0% 16.7% 26.9% Services and software gross margin was lower in the year ended December 31, 2016 due in part to the impact of the Acquisition, which utilizes a higher third-party labor model to support its service and software revenue stream, resulting in a dilutive effect on margins. Services and software gross margin was also adversely impacted by higher restructuring and non-routine costs compared to the prior year. In the year ended December 31, 2016, services and software gross profit was adversely impacted by a non- routine revenue reduction of $8.1 related to purchase accounting adjustments associated with the Acquisition. Services and software gross profit also included restructuring charges of $20.8 and $3.1 in 2016 and 2015, respectively. In addition, the Americas was unfavorably impacted due to retro-active contract adjustments and customer service level agreement penalties. 34 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS as of December 31, 2017 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES (unaudited) (in millions, except per share amounts) Systems 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 revenue and an increase in cost of sales of $82.6. Gross profit included total restructuring charges of $4.7 and $1.4 in 2016 and 2015, respectively. Excluding the impact of non-routine and restructuring, gross margin was flat between years. Americas systems gross margin declined due to unfavorable customer and product solution mix in 2016. Additionally, systems gross margins in EMEA 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. Operating Expenses The following table represents information regarding our operating expenses for the years ended December 31: Selling and administrative expense Research, development and engineering expense Impairment of assets (Gain) loss on sale of assets, net Total operating expenses 2016 2015 $ Change % Change $ $ 761.2 $ 110.2 9.8 0.3 488.2 $ 86.9 18.9 (0.6) 881.5 $ 593.4 $ 273.0 23.3 (9.1) 0.9 288.1 55.9 26.8 (48.1) N/M 48.6 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, higher corporate legal and professional fees also negatively impacted selling and administrative expense in 2016. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in sales commission expense, lower IT and marketing expenses related to transformation initiatives, favorable currency impact and a decrease in bad debt expense in the Americas. 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 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 Americas 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. Operating Profit (Loss) The following table represents information regarding our operating profit (loss) for the years ended December 31: Operating profit (loss) Operating margin 2016 2015 $ Change % Change $ (159.8) $ 58.6 $ (218.4) N/M (4.8)% 2.4% The decrease in operating profit was due to a decline in systems gross profit primarily associated with the inventory valuation adjustment from the Acquisition and higher operating expenses. These operating expenses included amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring and non-routine costs of acquisitions and divestitures. 35 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS as of December 31, 2017 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES (unaudited) (in millions, except per share amounts) Other Income (Expense) The following table represents information regarding our other income (expense) for the years ended December 31: Interest income Interest expense Foreign exchange gain (loss), net Miscellaneous, net Other income (expense) 2016 2015 $ Change % Change $ $ 21.5 $ 26.0 $ (101.4) (2.1) 3.5 (32.5) (10.0) 3.7 (78.5) $ (12.8) $ (4.5) (68.9) 7.9 (0.2) (65.7) (17.3) N/M 79.0 (5.4) N/M 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 on April 29, 2016 and $6.3 in financing fees related to the Company’s bridge financing required for the Acquisition. Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations, Net of Tax The following table represents information regarding our income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax, for the years ended December 31: Income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax $ (170.7) $ 59.5 $ (230.2) N/M 2016 2015 $ Change % Change Percent of net sales Effective tax rate (benefit) (5.1)% (28.4)% 2.5 % (29.9)% 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 statutory rates within the acquired entities. 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 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 ES 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. 36 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS as of December 31, 2017 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES (unaudited) (in millions, except per share amounts) Segment Revenue and Operating Profit Summary The following tables represent information regarding our revenue and operating profit by reporting segment for the years ended December 31: Services: Net sales Segment operating profit (loss) Segment operating profit margin 2016 2015 $ Change % Change $ $ 1,726.7 298.7 $ $ 1,295.7 262.8 $ $ 431 35.9 33.3 13.7 17.3% 20.3% Services net sales increased $431.0 including incremental net sales from the Acquisition of $434.6 and a net unfavorable currency impact of $21.6. Excluding the incremental net sales from the Acquisition and currency, net sales increased $26.7 attributable to higher maintenance service revenue related to an increase in multi-vendor service contracts in the Americas. This was partially offset by lower net sales across service business lines in AP. Services net sales also included an unfavorable impact of $8.1 related to purchase accounting adjustments. Segment operating profit increased $35.9 in 2016 compared to 2015. The incremental portion from the Acquisition accounted for $55.5 in segment operating profit in 2016. Excluding the incremental portion from the Acquisition, segment operating profit decreased $19.6 in 2016 driven by lower gross profit in AP mainly due to structural changes in the market and incremental costs related to customer service level agreement contract requirements. Segment operating profit margin decreased in part to the impact of the Acquisition, which utilizes a higher third-party labor model to support its service and software revenue stream, resulting in a dilutive effect on margins in 2016.

Excluding the incremental net sales from the Acquisition and currency, net sales decreased $26.1 primarily related to lower volumes in the Americas and EMEA. Segment operating profit decreased $2.2 in 2016. The incremental portion from the Acquisition accounted for $22.4 in segment operating profit in 2016. Excluding the incremental portion from the Acquisition, operating profit decreased $24.6 in 2016. The decrease in operating profit was driven by lower gross profit from prior year high margin upgrade projects in North America and lower volume in EMEA. Segment operating profit margin decreased due to lower upgrade project volume in the Americas as well as lower volume in EMEA, partially offset by the positive impact of the Acquisition. Systems: Net sales Segment operating profit (loss) Segment operating profit margin 2016 1,333.3 (24.7) $ $ $ $ (1.9)% 2015 $ Change % Change 984.5 (48.8) $ $ (5.0)% 348.8 24.1 35.4 (49.4) Systems net sales increased $348.8, including incremental net sales from the Acquisition of $474.2 and a net unfavorable currency impact of $28.2. Excluding the incremental net sales from the Acquisition and currency, net sales decreased $105.9 as systems net sales were adversely impacted by lower banking solution activity across the Company. In the Americas and EMEA, the volume declines were primarily due to lower banking project activity and in AP mainly due to structural changes in the market. This was partially offset by higher retail solutions activity in the Americas. Systems net sales also included an unfavorable impact of $8.1 related to purchase accounting adjustments. Segment operating loss decreased $24.1 in 2016. The incremental portion from the Acquisition was a $47.4 segment operating profit in 2016. Excluding the incremental portion from the Acquisition, segment operating loss increased $23.4 in 2016. The increase in segment operating loss was attributable to lower gross profit associated with banking volume declines in each region offset by higher retail solutions activity in the Americas. The increase in segment operating loss was offset by lower operating expense, particularly in research and development expense as a result of lower reinvestment associated with the maturity of the Company's transformation initiatives. 37 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS as of December 31, 2017 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES (unaudited) (in millions, except per share amounts) Segment operating profit margin increased due to the positive impact of the acquisition in 2016.

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 guaranteed dividends, including the purchase of minority shares, related to 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, 2017, $555.6 or 90.1 percent of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments reside in international tax jurisdictions. Repatriation of certain international held funds could be negatively impacted by potential payments for certain foreign taxes. The Company has earnings in certain jurisdictions available for repatriation of $1,399.0 with no additional tax expense primarily as a result of the Tax Act. Part of the Company’s growth strategy is to pursue strategic acquisitions. The Company has made acquisitions in the past and intends to make acquisitions in the future. The Company intends to finance any future acquisitions with either cash and short-term investments, cash provided from operations, borrowings under available credit facilities, proceeds from debt or equity offerings and/or the issuance of common shares. The Company's total cash and cash availability as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 was as follows: Cash and cash equivalents Additional cash availability from: Uncommitted lines of credit Revolving facility Short-term investments Total cash and cash availability 2017 2016 $ 535.2 $ 652.7 216.9 445.0 81.4 198.6 520.0 64.1 $ 1,278.5 $ 1,435.4 The following table summarizes the results of our consolidated statement of cash flows for the years ended December 31: Net cash flow provided by (used in) Operating activities - continuing operations Investing activities - continuing operations Financing activities - continuing operations Discontinued operations, net Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents 2017 2016 2015 37.1 $ 39.3 $ (128.8) (63.7) — 37.9 (923.3) 881.3 351.3 (8.0) (117.5) $ 340.6 $ 32.1 (62.4) 41.7 2.6 (23.9) (9.9) $ $ During 2017, cash and cash equivalents decreased $117.5 primarily due to cash utilized for investing and financing activities as well as payments of $72.1, $77.1, $99.9 and $78.2 for integration initiatives, restructuring programs, interest on debt and income taxes, respectively. These uses were offset by the cash provided by continuing operations. 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 $37.1 for the year ended December 31, 2017, a decrease of $2.2 from $39.3 for the year ended December 31, 2016. The overall decrease was primarily due to lower contributions from working capital and deferred revenue offset by lower income from continuing operations primarily from integration initiatives and restructuring programs. Additional detail is included below: • Cash flows from continuing operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to the year ended December 31, 2016 were impacted by a $34.8 increase in loss from continuing operations, net of tax. (refer to Results of Operations for further discussion of the Company's income from continuing operations, net of tax). 38 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS as of December 31, 2017 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES (unaudited) (in millions, except per share amounts) • • • • The net aggregate of trade accounts receivable, inventories and accounts payable provided $34.6 and $113.1 in operating cash flows during the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decrease is a result of the timing of seasonal declines in working capital accounts primarily related to the Acquisition. Additionally in 2016, Diebold Nixdorf AG included a favorable comparison to the acquisition date and a non-cash purchase accounting inventory revaluation adjustment of $62.7. The decrease in cash provided by trade accounts receivables is primarily related to lower cash collected in U.S, and EMEA compared to the prior year. The decrease in cash used by accounts payable is a result of reduced spending in EMEA, AP and the U.S., offset by slightly higher spending in the rest of the Americas compared to the prior year. Deferred revenue provided $26.0 of operating cash during the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to $61.6 in the year ended December 31, 2016. The decrease in cash flow associated with deferred revenue is due to timing of customer prepayments primarily in EMEA offset by AP and Americas compared to the prior year. The aggregate of income taxes and deferred income taxes used $20.7 of operating cash during the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to $146.3 used in 2016. The 2017 impact primarily related to the impact of the Tax Act, while the 2016 primarily related to the tax impacts related to the Acquisition. In the aggregate, the other combined certain assets and liabilities used of $90.0 in 2017 and provided $28.4 in 2016. The increased use of $118.4 was primarily due to payments related to the restructuring accruals associated with DN2020, offset by warranty accrual, collections of finance and lease receivables and the non-cash sources of Diebold Nixdorf AG accrued noncontrolling interest guaranteed dividend. The most significant changes in adjustments to net income include increased depreciation and amortization expense and additional share-based compensation expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $117.4 to $252.2 in 2017 compared to $134.8 during 2016 primarily due to incremental depreciation and amortization expense related to the Acquisition.The increase in share-based compensation expense to $33.9 in 2017 from $22.2 in 2016 was primarily due to an incremental increase in awards granted as a result of the Acquisition and an additional synergy grant in 2017 related to DN2020. Other adjustments to net income includes the gains from divestitures of the legacy Diebold business in the U.K. and the ES business located in Mexico offset by the loss from sale of the ES business in Chile during 2017. During 2016, the other adjustments to net income include foreign currency option and forward contracts that hedged against the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on the cash purchase consideration, acquisition related costs and any outstanding Diebold Nixdorf AG borrowings that were euro denominated and expected to be paid on or near the closing of the Acquisition. During 2016, the Company recorded a $9.3 mark-to-market net gain on foreign currency option and forward contracts which is reflected in other income (expense) miscellaneous, net. Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $128.8 for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $923.3 for the year ended December 31, 2016. The maturities and purchases of investments primarily relate to short-term investment activity in Brazil and for 2017 also include the Company's investment in Kony. The proceeds from the sale of assets primarily include cash from the divestitures of the legacy Diebold business in the U.K. and the ES businesses located in Mexico and Chile. The $794.5 change was primarily due to the funding of the Acquisition offset by $16.2 of proceeds from sale of foreign currency option contracts and payments for acquisitions of Moxx and Visio for $5.6 in the aggregate, net of cash acquired, and other investing activities. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in capital expenditures and certain other assets of $29.9 and $12.9 primarily due to the incremental expenditures related to the Acquisition. The Company's capital expenditures reflect normal investment activities to support operations. As a result of anticipated steps in forming our strategic alliance with Inspur Group, the Company deposited $8.0 into an escrow account, which is included in restricted cash from investing activities of the consolidated statements of cash flows and in other current assets of the consolidated balance sheets. The cash provided by the discontinued operations, net, includes the cash provided by the operations of the NA ES business. In the first quarter of 2016, discontinued operations, net, primarily related to the $365.1 proceeds received for the NA ES business divestiture. The Company anticipates capital expenditures of approximately $85 in 2018 to be utilized in IT, infrastructure and integration related investments. Currently, the Company finances 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 used in financing activities was $63.7 for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $881.3 for the year ended 2016, a change of $945.0. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease $968.8 in debt borrowing net of repayments, including associated debt issuance costs, related to the Acquisition. An increase of $7.4 in cash distributions to noncontrolling interests primarily related to Diebold Nixdorf AG partially offset the reduction in dividends paid. Benefit Plans. The Company plans to make contributions to its retirement plans of $49.6 for the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company anticipates reimbursement of approximately $14 in certain benefits paid from its trustee in 2018. Beyond 2018, 39 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS as of December 31, 2017 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES (unaudited) (in millions, except per share amounts) 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. 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 $1.1 in 2018 (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). Dividends. The Company paid dividends of $30.6, $64.6 and $75.6 in the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Annualized dividends per share were $0.40, $0.96 and $1.15 for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The first quarterly dividend of 2018 is $0.10 per share payable March 16, 2018 to shareholders of record on February 26, 2018. Contractual Obligations. The following table summarizes the Company’s approximate obligations and commitments to make future payments under contractual obligations as of December 31, 2017: Total Less than 1 year 1-3 years 3-5 years More than 5 years Payment due by period Short-term uncommitted lines of credit (2) $ 16.2 $ 16.2 $ — $ — $ 1,888.0 444.6 230.4 16.4 50.5 89.4 89.6 11.1 500.8 163.9 84.3 5.3 29.2 135.5 43.4 — — 1,307.5 55.8 13.1 — Long-term debt Interest on debt (1) Minimum operating lease obligations Purchase commitments Total $ 2,579.4 $ 240.6 $ 754.3 $ 208.1 $ 1,376.4 (1) (2) Amounts represent estimated contractual interest payments on outstanding long-term debt and notes payable. Rates in effect as of December 31, 2017 are used for variable rate debt. The amount available under the short-term uncommitted lines at December 31, 2017 was $216.9. Refer to Note 14 Debt in Item 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data for additional information. In connection with the Acquisition, the Company entered into the DPLTA, which entitles the Diebold Nixdorf AG minority shareholders to receive recurring cash compensation, or a guaranteed dividend, 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 Company's anticipates paying $24.6 during 2018 for the guaranteed dividend based on the remaining Diebold Nixdorf AG minority shareholders and euro rate as of December 31, 2017. The ultimate amounts of the future cash payments related to recurring guaranteed dividends are uncertain. At December 31, 2017, the Company also maintained uncertain tax positions of $48.4, 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 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 Revolving Facility and Term Loan A Facility are subject to the same maximum consolidated net leverage ratio and minimum consolidated interest coverage 40 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS as of December 31, 2017 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES (unaudited) (in millions, except per share amounts) 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, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was 3.63 percent and 2.56 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, 2017 was $445.0. On April 19, 2016, the Company issued $400.0 aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2024 (the 2024 Senior Notes). The 2024 Senior Notes are and will be guaranteed by certain of the Company’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries. On May 9, 2017, the Company entered into an incremental amendment to its Credit Agreement (the Incremental Agreement) which reduced the initial term loan B facility (the Term Loan B Facility) of a $1,000.0 USD-denominated tranche to $475.0. The reduction was funded using the $250.0 proceeds drawn from the Delayed Draw Term Loan A Facility, a replacement of $70.0 with Term Loan B Facility - Euro and previous principal payments. In connection with the Incremental Agreement, the interest rate with respect to the Term Loan B Facility - USD is based on, at the Company’s option, adjusted LIBOR plus 2.75 percent (with a floor of 0.00 percent) or Alternate Base Rate (ABR) plus 1.75 percent (with an ABR floor of 1.00 percent) and the interest rate with respect to the Term Loan B Facility - Euro is based on adjusted Euro Interbank Offered Rate (EURIBOR) plus 3.00 percent (with a floor of 0.00 percent). Prior to the Incremental Agreement, the interest rate for the Term Loan B Facility - USD was 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 the interest rate for the Term Loan B Facility - Euro was at the EURIBOR plus an applicable margin of 4.25 percent. The Incremental Amendment also renewed the repricing premium of 1.00 percent in relation to the Term Loan B Facility to the date that is six months after the Incremental Effective Date, removed the requirement to prepay the repriced Dollar Term Loan and the repriced Euro Term Loan upon any asset sale or casualty event if the Company is below a total net leverage ratio of 2.5:1.0 on a pro forma basis for such asset sale or casualty event and provides additional restricted payments and investment carveouts in regards to assets acquired with the Acquisition. All other material provisions under the Credit Agreement were unchanged. 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, 2017 are as follows: • • a maximum total net debt to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) leverage ratio of 4.25 to 1.00 as of December 31, 2017 (reducing 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 to 1.00 The Company incurred $1.1 and $39.2 of fees in the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, related to the Credit Agreement and 2024 Senior Notes, which are amortized as a component of interest expense over the terms.

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 ES 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, 2016 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. These instruments were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt. Additionally, the Company has a non-designated interest swap, which was acquired in connection with the Acquisition, with a notional amount of €50.0 with a fair value of €(5.5) and €(6.9) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. 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. Refer to note 19 to the consolidated financial statements, which is contained in Item 8 of this annual report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Company's hedging and derivative instruments. 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). 42 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS as of December 31, 2017 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES (unaudited) (in millions, except per share amounts) 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 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. 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 43 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS as of December 31, 2017 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES (unaudited) (in millions, except per share amounts) 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 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 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. Beginning with the first quarter of 2017, the Company’s reportable operating segments are based on the conclusion of the assessment on the following lines of business: Software, Systems, and Services and will reclassify comparative periods for consistency. 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 44 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS as of December 31, 2017 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES (unaudited) (in millions, except per share amounts) 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. In August 2016, the Company acquired Diebold Nixdorf AG. During the first quarter of 2017, in connection with the business combination agreement related to the Acquisition, the Company realigned its reportable operating segment to its lines of business to drive greater efficiency and further improve customer service. 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, after completion of the business combination and related integration, to generate improved free cash flow, which would be used to make investments in innovative software and solutions and reduce debt. The Company has allocated goodwill to its Services, Software and Systems reportable operating segments. The goodwill associated with the Acquisition is not deductible for income tax purposes. In the fourth quarter of 2017, goodwill was reviewed for impairment based on a two-step test, which resulted in no impairment in any of the Company's reporting units. The Company estimated the fair value of its nine reporting unit using a combination of the income valuation and market approach in valuation methodology. The determination of the fair value of the reporting unit requires significant estimates and assumptions, including significant unobservable inputs. The key inputs included, but were not limited to, discount rates, terminal growth rates, market multiple data from selected guideline public companies, management’s internal forecasts which include numerous assumptions such as projected net sales, gross profit, sales mix, operating and capital expenditures and earnings before interest and taxes margins, among others. Management determined that the Services-AP and Software-EMEA reporting units had excess fair value of $15.4 or 8.1 percent and $1.3 or 0.6 percent, respectively, when compared to their carrying amounts. The other reporting units had excess fair value of approximately $50 or greater cushion when compared to their carrying amount. Changes in certain assumptions or the Company's failure to execute on the current plan could have a significant impact to the estimated fair value of the reporting units. 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 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. 45 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS as of December 31, 2017 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES (unaudited) (in millions, except per share amounts) The Company assesses its position with regard to tax exposures and records liabilities for these uncertain tax positions and any related interest and penalties, when the tax benefit is not more likely than not realizable. The Company has recorded an accrual that reflects the recognition and measurement process for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Additional future income tax expense or benefit may be recognized once the positions are effectively settled. At the end of each interim reporting period, the Company estimates the effective tax rate expected to apply to the full fiscal year. The estimated effective tax rate contemplates the expected jurisdiction where income is earned, as well as tax planning alternatives. Current and projected growth in income in higher tax jurisdictions may result in an increasing effective tax rate over time. If the actual results differ from estimates, the Company may adjust the effective tax rate in the interim period if such determination is made. Contingencies. Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. There is no liability recorded for matters in which the liability is not probable and reasonably estimable. Attorneys in the Company's legal department monitor and manage all claims filed against the Company and review all pending investigations. Generally, the estimate of probable loss related to these matters is developed in consultation with internal and outside legal counsel representing the Company. These estimates are based upon an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. The Company attempts to resolve these matters through settlements, mediation and arbitration proceedings when possible. If the actual settlement costs, final judgments, or fines, after appeals, differ from the estimates, the future results may be materially impacted. Adjustments to the initial estimates are recorded when a change in the estimate is identified. Pensions and Other Post-retirement Benefits. Annual net periodic expense and benefit liabilities under the Company’s defined benefit plans are determined on an actuarial basis. Assumptions used in the actuarial calculations have a significant impact on plan obligations and expense. Members of the management investment committee periodically review the actual experience compared with the more significant assumptions used and make adjustments to the assumptions, if warranted. The discount rate is determined by analyzing the average return of high-quality (i.e., AA-rated) fixed-income investments and the year-over-year comparison of certain widely used benchmark indices as of the measurement date. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is determined using the plans’ current asset allocation and their expected rates of return based on a geometric averaging over 20 years. The rate of compensation increase assumptions reflects the Company’s long-term actual experience and future and near- term outlook. Pension benefits are funded through deposits with trustees. Other post-retirement benefits are not funded and the Company’s policy is to pay these benefits as they become due. The following table represents assumed healthcare cost trend rates at December 31: Healthcare cost trend rate assumed for next year Rate to which the cost trend rate is assumed to decline (the ultimate trend rate) Year that rate reaches ultimate trend rate 2017 2016 6.8% 5.0% 2025 7.0% 5.0% 2025 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 6.8 percent and 7.0 percent in 2017 and 2016, respectively, with an ultimate trend rate of 5.0 percent reach in 2025. Assumed healthcare cost trend rates have a modest effect on the amounts reported for the healthcare plans. Assumed healthcare cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the healthcare plans. A one-percentage- point change in assumed healthcare cost trend rates would have the following effects: Effect on total of service and interest cost Effect on other post-retirement benefit obligation One-Percentage-Point Increase One-Percentage-Point Decrease $ $ — $ 0.5 $ — (0.5) During 2017, the Society of Actuaries released a new mortality improvement projection scale (MP-2017) resulting from recent studies measuring mortality rates for various groups of individuals. As of December 31, 2017, 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-2017 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. 46 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS as of December 31, 2017 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES (unaudited) (in millions, except per share amounts) RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE Refer to note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, which is contained in Item 8 of this annual report on Form 10-K, for information on recently issued accounting guidance. 47 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS as of December 31, 2017 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES (unaudited) (in millions, except per share amounts) FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT DISCLOSURE In this annual report on Form 10-K, statements that are not reported financial results or other historical information are “forward- looking statements.” Forward-looking statements give current expectations or forecasts of future events and are not guarantees of future performance.

A hypothetical 10 percent movement in the applicable foreign exchange rates would have resulted in an increase or decrease in 2017 and 2016 year-to-date operating profit of $18.0 and $3.6, 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, Thailand baht, Mexico pesos and China yuan renminbi. 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 $1,504.0 and $1,460.0 of which $400.0 and $452.6 were effectively converted to fixed rate using interest rate swaps at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. A one percentage point increase or decrease in interest rates would have resulted in an increase or decrease in interest expense of $10.5 and $10.1 for 2017 and 2016, 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. 49 ITEM 8: FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Reports of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 Consolidated Statements of Equity for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 51 53 54 55 56 57 59 50 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Shareholders and Board of Directors Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated: Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, 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, 2017, and the related notes (collectively, the “consolidated financial statements”).

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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 of internal control over financial reporting 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. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 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. /s/ KPMG LLP Cleveland, Ohio February 28, 2018 52 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS (dollars in millions)

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, including common control transfers among subsidiaries of the Company. Use of Estimates in Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements. 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 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 certain financial results from Venezuela, Mexico, Argentina, Singapore and Switzerland, which have a functional currency other than local currency. These operations used either USD or euro as their functional currency depending on the concentration of USD or euro transactions and distinct financial information. 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 USD 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. 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 a 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 impairment charges of $18.6 and an additional $0.4 related to uncollectible accounts receivable which is included in selling and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations during 2015. 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 of a divestiture from ongoing operations. Discontinued operations reporting occurs only when the disposal of a component 59 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-K as of December 31, 2017 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (in millions, except per share amounts) 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 ES 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 ES 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 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. During the first quarter of 2017, the Company reorganized the management team reporting to the CODM and evaluated and assessed the LOB reporting structure. The Company's reportable operating segments are based on the following three LOBs: Services, Systems, and Software. As a result, the Company reclassified comparative periods for consistency. The presentation of comparative periods also reflects the reclassification of certain global manufacturing administration expenses from corporate charges not allocated to segments to segment operating profit. Reclassification. The Company has reclassified the presentation of certain prior-year information to conform to the current presentation. The Company adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-09, Compensation, - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, at the beginning of 2017 and accordingly, retrospectively reclassified excess tax benefits from share-based compensation from financing activities to operating activities included in the consolidated statements of cash flows all comparable periods presented. 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. Generally, 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. The Company recognizes financing lease income on the interest method to produce a level yield on funds not yet recovered. Estimated unguaranteed residual values are based upon management’s best estimate and value of the leased asset at the end of the lease term. We use various sources of data in determining this estimate, including information obtained from third parties which is adjusted for the attributes of the specific asset under lease. 60 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-K as of December 31, 2017 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (in millions, except per share amounts) Revenue from certain long-term contracts is accounted for under the percentage of completion method, and recognizes revenue and gross profit as work on certain long-term contracts progresses, which relies on estimates of total expected contract revenues and costs. The Company follows this method since reasonably dependable estimates of the revenue and costs applicable to various stages of a contract can be made. Since the financial reporting of these contracts depends on estimates, which are assessed continually during the term of the contract, recognized revenues and profit are subject to revisions as the contract progresses toward completion. Revisions in profit estimates are reflected in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known. Accordingly, favorable changes in estimates result in additional profit recognition, and unfavorable changes will result in the reversal of previously recognized revenue and profits. When estimates indicate a loss is expected to be incurred under a contract, cost of sales is charged with a provision for the full loss immediately. As work progresses under a loss contract, revenue and cost of sales continue to be recognized in equal amounts, and the excess of costs over revenues is charged to the contract loss reserve. Change orders resulting in additional revenue and profit are recognized upon approval by the customer based on the percentage that incurred costs to date bear to total estimated costs at completion. Pre-contract costs relate primarily to salaries and benefits incurred to support the selling effort and, accordingly, are expensed as incurred. Certain contracts include incentive- fee arrangements clearly defined in the agreement and are not recognized until earned. The percentage of completion method of accounting is primarily used in software arrangements that include professional services. The total amount of revenue accounted for by the percentage of completion method is de minimus. 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 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: Services Product-related services provided by the Company include proactive monitoring and rapid resolution of incidents through remote service capabilities or an on-site visit. First and second line maintenance, preventive maintenance and on-demand services keep the distributed assets of the Company's customers up and running through a standardized incident management process. Managed services and outsourcing consists of the end-to-end business processes, solution management, upgrades and transaction processing. The global service supply chain optimizes the process for obtaining replacement parts, making repairs, and implementing new features and functionality. The Company also provides a full array of cash management services, which optimizes the availability and cost of physical currency across the enterprise through efficient forecasting, inventory and replenishment processes. Software The Company provides front end applications for consumer connection points and back end platforms that manage channel transactions, operations and integration. The Company’s hardware-agnostic software applications facilitate millions of transactions via ATMs, POS terminals, kiosks and a host of other self-service devices. The Company’s platform software facilitates omni-channel transactions, endpoint monitoring, remote asset management, marketing, merchandise management and analytics. The professional services team provides systems integration, customization, consulting and project management. The Company’s advisory services team collaborates with its customers to help define optimal user experience, improve business processes, refine existing staffing models and deploy technology to meet branch automation objectives. Systems The systems portfolio consists of cash recyclers and dispensers, intelligent deposit terminals, teller automation tools, physical security devices, integrated and mobile POS systems. Supplementing the POS system 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 and ordering kiosks. 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. 61 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-K as of December 31, 2017 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (in millions, except per share amounts) Property, plant and equipment and long-lived assets. Property, plant and equipment and long-lived assets are recorded at historical cost, including interest where applicable. Impairment of property, plant and equipment and 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. Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful life for each asset class. 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. 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. Advertising Costs. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and were $11.0, $14.0 and $11.6 in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Research, Development and Engineering. Research, development and engineering costs are expensed as incurred and were $155.5, $110.2 and $86.9 in 2017, 2016 and 2015, 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. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had $8.0 of restricted cash in connection with the realigning its operations in China which has been included in other current assets. 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. 62 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-K as of December 31, 2017 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (in millions, except per share amounts) 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. 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. 63 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-K as of December 31, 2017 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (in millions, except per share amounts) 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 using average or standard costing utilizing lower of cost or net realizable value. 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 2017 and 2016, the annual goodwill impairment test was performed as of October 31. 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. Beginning with the first quarter of 2017, the Company’s reportable operating segments are based on the conclusion of the assessment on the following LOBs: Software, Systems, and Services with comparative period reclassified for consistency. 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 64 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-K as of December 31, 2017 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (in millions, except per share amounts) 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. Contingencies. Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. As additional information becomes available, any potential liability related to these matters is assessed and the estimates are revised, if necessary. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. Pensions and Other Post-retirement Benefits. Annual net periodic expense and benefit liabilities under the Company’s defined benefit plans are determined on an actuarial basis. Assumptions used in the actuarial calculations have a significant impact on plan obligations and expense. Members of the management investment committee periodically review the actual experience compared with the more significant assumptions used and make adjustments to the assumptions, if warranted. The healthcare trend rates are reviewed based upon the results of actual claims experience. The discount rate is determined by analyzing the average return of high-quality (i.e., AA-rated) fixed-income investments and the year-over-year comparison of certain widely used benchmark indices as of the measurement date. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is determined using the plans’ current asset allocation and their expected rates of return based on a geometric averaging over 20 years. The rate of compensation increase assumptions reflects the Company’s long-term actual experience and future and near-term outlook. Pension benefits are funded through deposits with trustees or directly by the plan administrator. Other post-retirement benefits are not funded and the Company’s policy is to pay these benefits as they become due. The Company recognizes the funded status of each of its plans in the consolidated balance 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. During 2017 and 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.

The standards provide clarification when there is a change in a counterparty to a derivative hedging instrument and the steps required when assessing the economic characteristics of embedded put or call options. Effective Date January 1, 2017 January 1, 2017 The standard eliminates the requirement to retroactively apply the equity method of accounting as a result of an increase in the level of ownership or degree of influence. January 1, 2017 ASU 2016-16, Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory This standard requires the recognition of the income tax effects of intercompany sales and transfers of assets, other than inventory, in the period in which the transfer occurs rather than deferring recognition until the asset is sold to an external party. January 1, 2017 ASU 2016-17, Interests Held through Related Parties that Are under Common Control The standard changes the evaluation of whether a reporting entity is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity in certain instances involving entities under common control. January 1, 2017 66 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-K as of December 31, 2017 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (in millions, except per share amounts) Recently Issued Accounting Guidance The Company has considered the recent ASUs issued by the FASB summarized below, which could significantly impact its financial statements: Standards Pending Adoption ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ASU 2016-02, Leases ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment ASU 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging: Target Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities Description The standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective and requires additional financial statement disclosures. The standard requires revenue to be recognized when it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The standard can be adopted using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. The standard is intended to reduce potential for diversity in practice at initial application and reducing the cost and complexity of applying Topic 606 both at transition and prospectively. The standard requires that a lessee recognize on its balance sheet right-of-use assets and corresponding liabilities resulting from leasing transactions, as well as additional financial statement disclosures. Currently, U.S. GAAP only requires balance sheet recognition for leases classified as capital leases. The provisions of this update apply to substantially all leased assets. The standard simplifies the measurement of goodwill by eliminating step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. Early adoption is permitted. The standard was issued to address the net presentation of the components of net benefit cost. The standard requires that service cost be presented in the same line item as other current employee compensation costs and that the remaining components of net benefit cost be presented in a separate line item outside of any subtotal for income from operations. Effective/ Adoption Date January 1, 2018 January 1, 2019 Anticipated Impact The Company has drafted its accounting policy with respect to the standard based on a detailed review of its business and contracts. While the Company continues to assess all potential impacts of the standard, including business processes, systems and controls, it does not currently expect that the adoption will have a material impact on its recognition of revenues, results of operations or financial position. As required by the standard, the Company expects to make additional disclosures related to the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The Company will adopt the standard using the modified retrospective transition method, pursuant to which the cumulative effect of adoption will be reflected in the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of that the standard will have on its financial information and related disclosures. The standard requires a modified retrospective transition method with the option to elect a package of practical expedients, which the Company anticipates utilizing and will continue to evaluate. The Company anticipates a significant balance sheet gross-up for the right-of-use assets and corresponding liabilities, with no anticipated impact to debt covenants. For additional information on the Company’s operating lease commitments, see Note 16, Leases. January 1, 2020 The Company is currently evaluating the impact of that the standard will have on its financial statements, related disclosures and whether or not we will early adopt the standard. For additional information on the Company’s goodwill, see Note 13, Goodwill and Other Assets. January 1, 2018 The update will result in the retrospective reclassification of the non-service cost components of net benefit cost from cost of sales, selling, general and administrative, and research and development expenses to other (income) expense, net. There will be no impact on consolidated net income. The purpose of this updated guidance is to better align a company’s financial reporting for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities. January 1, 2019 / January 1, 2018 ASU 2017-12 requires a modified retrospective transition method in which the Company will recognize the cumulative effect of the change on the opening balance of each affected component of equity in the statement of financial position as of the date of adoption. While the Company continues to assess all potential impacts of the standard, we currently expect adoption to have an immaterial impact on our consolidated financial statements. NOTE 2: ACQUISITIONS During 2017, the Company acquired all the capital stock of Moxx Group B.V. (Moxx) and certain assets and liabilities of Visio Objekt GmbH (Visio) for $5.6 in the aggregate, net of cash acquired, which are included in the Services LOB. During the third quarter of 2017, the Company acquired Moxx, which is a Netherlands based managed services company that provides managed mobility solutions for enterprises that use a large number of mobile assets in their business operations. In the second quarter of 2017, the Company acquired Visio, which is a design company based in Germany. 67 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-K as of December 31, 2017 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (in millions, except per share amounts) 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. In the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company announced its intention to acquire all 29.8 Diebold Nixdorf AG (formerly Wincor Nixdorf Aktiengesellschaft) 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 acquired through Diebold Holding Germany Inc. & Co. KGaA (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 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. 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 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 aggregate consideration, excluding $110.7 of cash acquired, for the Acquisition was $1,265.7, which consisted of the following: Cash paid Less: cash acquired Payments for acquisition, net of cash acquired Common shares issued to Diebold Nixdorf AG shareholders Other consideration Total consideration, net of cash acquired $ 995.3 (110.7) 884.6 279.7 (9.3) $ 1,155.0 Other consideration of $(9.3) represents the preexisting net trade balances the Company owed to Diebold Nixdorf AG, which were deemed settled as of the acquisition date. 68 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-K as of December 31, 2017 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (in millions, except per share amounts) The following table presents the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the Acquisition as of the date of acquisition, August 15, 2016, based on the allocation of the total consideration, net of cash acquired for the periods reported below: December 31, 2016 Amounts recognized as of: Measurement Period September 30, 2017 Trade receivables Inventories Prepaid expenses Current assets held for sale Other current assets Property, plant and equipment Deferred income taxes Customer relationships Other intangible assets Other assets Total assets acquired Notes payable Accounts payable Deferred revenue Payroll and other benefits liabilities Current liabilities held for sale Other current liabilities Pensions and other benefits Other noncurrent liabilities Total liabilities assumed Redeemable noncontrolling interest Fair value of noncontrolling interest Total identifiable net assets acquired, including noncontrolling interest Total consideration, net of cash acquired Goodwill $ 474.1 $ (4.5) $ 487.2 39.3 106.6 79.9 247.1 109.7 658.5 143.6 27.0 2,373.0 159.8 321.5 158.0 191.6 56.6 196.3 103.2 458.9 1,645.9 (46.8) (407.9) 272.4 1,155.0 10.9 (0.3) — (0.3) (10.5) 5.8 29.0 — — 30.1 — — 19.6 (7.3) — 5.9 — 9.0 27.2 — — 2.9 — $ 882.6 $ (2.9) $ 469.6 498.1 39.0 106.6 79.6 236.6 115.5 687.5 143.6 27.0 2,403.1 159.8 321.5 177.6 184.3 56.6 202.2 103.2 467.9 1,673.1 (46.8) (407.9) 275.3 1,155.0 879.7 During the third quarter of 2017, the Company finalized the acquisition accounting for Diebold Nixdorf AG. The measurement period adjustments outlined above primarily related to changes in the fair value measurement of certain assets and liabilities. The trade receivables measurement period adjustment related to a reduction of $4.5 to certain customer accounts offset by certain deferred revenue adjustments primarily in the U.K. The inventories measurement period adjustment of $10.9 related to updated fair value measurement adjustments of certain inventory items along with certain deferred revenue adjustments, which resulted in an unfavorable impact of $1.9 to cost of sales-systems for 2017. The measurement period adjustments for prepaid expenses and other current assets relate to certain advances to suppliers and other miscellaneous receivables, respectively. The measurement period adjustment for property, plant and equipment of $10.5 related to the final fair value measurement of an acquired building which resulted in an unfavorable impact of $4.9 to cost of sales-systems and a favorable impact of $0.2 to selling and administrative expense related finalization of depreciation expense 2017. The measurement period adjustment to intangible assets for $29.0 related to a change in the underlying valuation assumptions used in the fair value measurement of acquired customer relationships which resulted in an unfavorable impact of $0.8 in selling and administrative expense for 2017. The deferred income tax measurement period adjustment of $5.8 related to the tax effects of adjustments. The deferred revenue measurement period adjustment of $19.6 primarily related to an adjustment to the inputs used in the fair value measurement primarily in the U.K. along with certain onerous contracts, which resulted in an unfavorable impact of $3.9 for 2017 which split near evenly between net sales- service and software and net sales-systems. The payroll and other benefits liabilities measurement period adjustment of $7.3 primarily related to the reduction of $8.2 related to the Delta Program restructuring accrual offset by certain bonus compensation 69 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-K as of December 31, 2017 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (in millions, except per share amounts) accruals. The other current liabilities measurement period adjustment of $5.9 related primarily to certain onerous contracts and accrued taxes. The other noncurrent liabilities measurement period adjustment of $9.0 primarily relates to deferred income tax liabilities calculated in connection with the measurement period adjustments along with certain onerous contracts. Included in the purchase price allocation are acquired identifiable intangibles of $831.1, 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. The Company recorded acquired intangible assets in the following table as of the acquisition date: Trade name Technologies Classification on consolidated statements of operations Selling and administrative expense Cost of sales Customer relationships Selling and administrative expense Other Intangible assets various Weighted-average useful lives August 15, 2016 3.0 years 4.0 years 9.5 years various $ $ 30.1 107.2 687.5 6.3 831.1 Noncontrolling interest reflects a 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. 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. The Company has allocated goodwill to its Services, Software and Systems reportable operating segments (refer to note 13). 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 for the year ended December 31, 2017 and from August 15, 2016, the date of the Acquisition to December 31, 2016, are as follows: Net sales Income (loss) from continuing operations before taxes Net income (loss) attributable to Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated August 15, 2016 to December 31, 2016 December 31, 2017 2,467.6 $ 1,054.8 $ $ $ (67.9) $ (51.3) $ 10.5 10.5 The Acquisition's income (loss) from continuing operations before taxes subsequent to the acquisition date includes purchase accounting pretax charges related to deferred revenue of $30.4, inventory valuation adjustment of $1.9, amortization of acquired intangibles of $128.4 and $6.7 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. No Acquisition-related deal costs have been incurred in 2017. Unaudited pro forma Information The unaudited pro forma information is presented for illustrative purposes only.

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. NOTE 3: REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS Changes in redeemable noncontrolling interests were as follows: Balance at December 31, 2015 Purchase of noncontrolling interests Balance at December 31, 2016 Other comprehensive income (loss) Redemption value adjustment Redemption of shares Reclassification of noncontrolling interest Balance at December 31, 2017 Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests $ $ — 44.1 44.1 32.8 32.0 (3.5) 386.7 492.1 Subsequent to the closing of the Acquisition, the board of directors of the Company and the supervisory and management boards of Diebold Nixdorf AG, as well as the shareholders of Diebold KGaA and Diebold Nixdorf AG, on September 26, 2016 each approved the proposed the DPLTA. The DPLTA became effective by entry in the commercial register at the local court of Paderborn (Germany) on February 14, 2017. 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, which was presented as a component of total equity as of December 31, 2016, was reclassified to redeemable noncontrolling interest during the first quarter of 2017. For the period of time that the DPLTA is effective, the noncontrolling interest related to the Diebold Nixdorf AG ordinary shares the Company did not acquire will remain in redeemable noncontrolling interest and presented outside of equity in the consolidated balance sheets of the Company. 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 redemption value adjustment includes the updated cash compensation pursuant to the DPLTA. During 2017, the Company paid $3.5 in cash compensation to 71 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-K as of December 31, 2017 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (in millions, except per share amounts) redeem Diebold Nixdorf AG ordinary shares in connection with the DPLTA. The ultimate timing and amount of any future cash payments related to the DPLTA are uncertain. 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 recorded at fair value as of the Acquisition date and subsequent reporting periods by applying the income approach using unobservable inputs for projected cash flows, including but not limited, to net sales and operating profit, and a discount rate, which are considered Level 3 inputs. 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 number of shares of dilutive potential common shares for the years ended December 31: 2017 2016 2015 Numerator Income (loss) used in basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share Income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, net of tax Income (loss) before discontinued operations, net of tax Income from discontinued operations, net of tax Net income (loss) attributable to Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated Denominator Weighted-average number of common shares used in basic earnings (loss) per share Effect of dilutive shares (1) Weighted-average number of shares used in diluted earnings (loss) per share Basic earnings (loss) per share Income (loss) before discontinued operations, net of tax Income from discontinued operations, net of tax Net income (loss) attributable to Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated Diluted earnings (loss) per share Income (loss) before discontinued operations, net of tax Income from discontinued operations, net of tax Net income (loss) attributable to Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated $ $ $ $ $ $ (205.5) $ (170.7) $ 27.6 (233.1) — 6.0 (176.7) 143.7 (233.1) $ (33.0) $ 75.5 — 75.5 (3.09) $ — (3.09) $ (3.09) $ — (3.09) $ 69.1 — 69.1 (2.56) $ 2.08 (0.48) $ (2.56) $ 2.08 (0.48) $ 59.5 1.7 57.8 15.9 73.7 64.9 0.7 65.6 0.89 0.24 1.13 0.88 0.24 1.12 Anti-dilutive shares Anti-dilutive shares not used in calculating diluted weighted-average shares 3.4 2.1 1.5 (1) Incremental shares of 0.7 and 0.6 were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, because their effect is anti-dilutive due to the loss from continuing operations.

On the basis of amounts declared and paid quarterly, the annualized dividends per share were $0.40, $0.96 and $1.15 for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, 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 2017 Equity and Performance Incentive Plan (the 2017 Plan) was 4.9, of which 4.8 shares were available for issuance at December 31, 2017. Previous grants were issued pursuant to the Amended and Restated 1991 Equity and Performance Incentive Plan (as amended and restated as of February 12, 2014) (the 1991 Plan). When the 2017 plan was approved, the 1991 Plan was closed for any further grants.

Certain awards have accelerated vesting clauses that result in a non-substantive vesting requirement, which results in either immediate or accelerated expense. 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) Weighted-average volatility Risk-free interest rate Expected dividend yield 2017 2016 2015 3 31% 1.28% 1.65% 6 28% 1.50% 3.10% 6 31% 1.50% 3.12% 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 over the expected life of the equity instrument. 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, 2017 and changes during the year ended were as follows: Outstanding at January 1, 2017 Expired or forfeited Granted Outstanding at December 31, 2017 Options exercisable at December 31, 2017 Options vested and expected to vest (2) at December 31, 2017 Number of Shares Weighted- Average Exercise Price Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term Aggregate Intrinsic Value (1) (per share) (in years) 1.7 $ (0.2) $ 0.8 $ 2.3 $ 1.1 $ 2.2 $ 31.98 39.31 26.57 29.68 32.15 29.79 7 6 7 $ $ $ — — — (1) (2) 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 2017 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, 2017. 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 years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, and $0.7 for 2015. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of stock options granted for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 was $4.57, $5.37 and $7.04, respectively. Total fair value of stock options vested during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 was $2.4, $2.6 and $2.7, respectively. Exercise of options during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 resulted in cash receipts of $0.3, $0.3 and $3.5, 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. 75 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-K as of December 31, 2017 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (in millions, except per share amounts) Non-vested RSUs outstanding as of December 31, 2017 and changes during the year ended were as follows: Non-vested at January 1, 2017 Forfeited Vested Granted (1) Non-vested at December 31, 2017 Number of Shares Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value 1.2 $ (0.1) $ (0.5) $ 0.7 $ 1.3 $ 29.50 28.72 30.37 26.81 27.76 (1) The RSUs granted during the year ended December 31, 2017 include 57 thousand one-year RSUs to non-employee directors under the 1991 Plan. These RSUs have a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $28.80. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of RSUs granted for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 was $26.81, $26.77 and $32.74, respectively. The total fair value of RSUs vested during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 was $13.9, $7.2 and $6.4, respectively. 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. The estimated fair value of certain performance shares granted was calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation method. 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 threshold objectives are met. Non-vested performance shares outstanding as of December 31, 2017 and changes during the year ended were as follows: Non-vested at January 1, 2017 (1) Forfeited Vested Granted Non-vested at December 31, 2017 Number of Shares Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value 1.2 $ (0.3) $ (0.2) $ 1.8 $ 2.5 $ 31.77 37.09 23.64 31.31 31.37 (1) Non-vested performance shares are based on a maximum potential payout. Actual shares vested at the end of the performance period may be less than the maximum potential payout level depending on achievement of the performance objectives, as determined by the Board of Directors. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of performance shares granted for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 was $31.31, $26.99 and $32.50, respectively. The total fair value of performance shares vested during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 was $3.6, $3.1 and $5.1, 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, 2017, there were 0.1 non-employee director deferred shares vested and outstanding. There were no deferred shares granted in 2017, 2016, or 2015. There was no aggregate intrinsic fair value for the year ended December 31, 2017. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the aggregate intrinsic values was $0.2. Total fair value of deferred shares vested for the years ended December 31, 2016 was $0.2. 76 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-K as of December 31, 2017 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (in millions, except per share amounts) NOTE 7: INCOME TAXES The following table presents components of income (loss) from continuing operations before taxes for the years ended December 31: Domestic Foreign Total 2017 2016 2015 $ $ (208.5) $ (215.2) $ 32.8 (23.1) (175.7) $ (238.3) $ (56.6) 102.4 45.8 The following table presents the components of income tax (benefit) expense for the years ended December 31: Current U.S. federal Foreign State and local Total current Deferred U.S. federal Foreign State and local Total deferred 2017 2016 2015 $ (4.4) $ (67.2) $ 72.9 1.7 70.2 7.6 (44.9) (3.1) (40.4) 54.0 (10.6) (23.8) 3.6 (50.2) 2.8 (43.8) Income tax (benefit) expense $ 29.8 $ (67.6) $ (2.0) 38.2 (0.6) 35.6 (38.3) (11.1) 0.1 (49.3) (13.7) In addition to the income tax (benefit) expense listed above for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, income tax (benefit) expense allocated directly to shareholders equity for the same periods was $7.2, $(1.8) and $5.4, respectively, in addition it also includes (benefit) expense of $9.9, $7.7 and $(20.4), respectively, related to current year movement in valuation allowance. Income tax (benefit) expense allocated to discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $93.9 and $9.6, respectively. Income tax (benefit) expense attributable to income (loss) from continuing operations before taxes differed from the amounts computed by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate of 35 percent to pre-tax income (loss) from continuing operations. The following table presents these differences for the years ended December 31: Statutory tax (benefit) expense Brazil non-taxable incentive Valuation allowance Foreign tax rate differential Foreign subsidiary earnings Accrual adjustments U.S. tax reform - rate impact on deferred tax balance U.S. tax reform - deemed repatriation tax Business tax credits Non-deductible (non-taxable) items Other Income tax (benefit) expense 2017 2016 2015 $ (61.5) $ (83.4) $ (3.9) 10.5 (31.5) 14.4 4.1 45.1 36.6 (0.6) 17.9 (1.3) (5.8) 14.9 (10.0) 13.7 1.1 — — (0.7) 2.3 0.3 16.0 (4.2) (0.7) (19.4) (9.1) 1.5 — — (1.4) 4.2 (0.6) $ 29.8 $ (67.6) $ (13.7) The effective tax rate for 2017 was (17.0) percent and is primarily driven by the Tax Act, which was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Tax Act, among other things, lowered the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent effective January 1, 2018, while also imposing a deemed repatriation tax on deferred foreign earnings. The resulting impact to the Company is an estimated $45.1 reduction to deferred income taxes for the income tax rate change and an estimated one-time non-cash charge 77 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-K as of December 31, 2017 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (in millions, except per share amounts) of $36.6 related to deferred foreign earnings. The Company continues to make and refine its provisional calculations as additional analysis is completed, and consequently, these provisional estimates may be affected as additional regulatory guidance is issued. Adjustments to the provisional amounts will be recognized as a component of the income tax (benefit) expense in the period in which the adjustments are determined, but in any event, no later than the fourth quarter of 2018. In addition to the impact of the Tax Act, the overall effective tax rate is impacted by the jurisdictional income (loss) and varying respective statutory rates and is reflected in the foreign tax rate differential caption of the rate reconciliation. The effective tax rate for 2016 of 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) and varying respective statutory rates within the acquired entities. The Company recognizes the benefit of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in its tax returns in its 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 Acquired uncertain tax positions Increases related to prior year tax positions, net Increases related to current year tax positions Settlements Reductions due to lapse of applicable statute of limitations Balance at December 31 2017 2016 $ 43.2 $ — 6.1 7.5 (1.8) (6.6) $ 48.4 $ 13.1 28.5 6.3 2.5 (3.4) (3.8) 43.2 The entire amount of unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate. The Company classifies interest expense and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes as income tax (benefit) expense in the consolidated financial statements. The Company accrues interest income on overpayments of income taxes where applicable and classifies interest income as a reduction of income tax (benefit) expense in the consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits totaled $5.5 and $7.6, respectively. It is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change during the next 12 months. The Company does not expect those changes to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. The expected timing of payments cannot be determined with any degree of certainty. During 2017, the IRS completed its examination of the Company's U.S federal income tax return for years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 and issued a Revenue Agent’s Report (RAR). The Company agreed to the findings in the RAR with no net tax deficiency for 2012 and 2011 tax years. The Company initially appealed the findings for the 2013 tax year, reaching an agreement and receiving a draft RAR with no net tax deficiency, effectively settling the findings and has accrued all amounts. There are no other outstanding audits by the IRS and all U.S. federal tax years prior to 2013 are closed by statute. The Company is subject to tax examinations in various U.S state jurisdictions for tax years 2012 to the present, as well as various foreign jurisdictions for tax years 2010 to the present. 78 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-K as of December 31, 2017 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (in millions, except per share amounts) 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 Accrued expenses Warranty accrual Deferred compensation Allowances for doubtful accounts Inventories Deferred revenue Pensions, post-retirement and other benefits Tax credits Net operating loss carryforwards Capital loss carryforwards State deferred taxes Other Valuation allowance Net deferred tax assets Deferred tax liabilities Property, plant and equipment, net Goodwill and intangible assets Partnership interest Undistributed earnings Other Net deferred tax liabilities Net deferred tax asset 2017 2016 $ 43.0 $ 13.5 10.6 3.8 14.4 38.1 82.6 81.9 125.9 2.6 17.4 0.8 434.6 (105.6) 329.0 $ 1.2 $ 302.8 — 16.0 2.3 322.3 6.7 $ $ $ $ 74.5 19.7 16.2 10.3 26.1 19.1 92.3 52.1 88.4 1.8 17.1 0.5 418.1 (87.8) 330.3 39.7 271.5 3.7 6.5 — 321.4 8.9 Deferred income taxes reported in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31 are as follows: Deferred income taxes - assets Deferred income taxes - liabilities Net deferred tax asset 2017 2016 $ $ 293.8 $ (287.1) 6.7 $ 309.5 (300.6) 8.9 As of December 31, 2017, the Company had domestic and international net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of $730.9, resulting in an NOL deferred tax asset of $125.9. Of these NOL carryforwards, $484.5 expire at various times between 2018 and 2038 and $246.4 does not expire. At December 31, 2017, the Company had a domestic foreign tax credit carryforward resulting in a deferred tax asset of $77.3 that will expire between 2020 and 2028 and a general business credit carryforward resulting in a deferred tax asset of $4.6 that will expire between 2035 and 2038. 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, 2017 and 2016 was an increase of $17.8 and $23.9, 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, 2017 and 2016, provisions were made for foreign withholding taxes and estimated foreign taxes which may be incurred upon the remittance of certain undistributed earnings in foreign subsidiaries and foreign unconsolidated affiliates. Additionally, in 2016, provisions were made for estimated U.S. income taxes, less available tax credits. Provisions have 79 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-K as of December 31, 2017 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (in millions, except per share amounts) not been made for income taxes on $604.1 of undistributed earnings at December 31, 2017 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 investment 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, 2017 and 2016. 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 investments, respectively, consist of the following: As of December 31, 2017 Short-term investments Certificates of deposit Long-term investments Assets held in a rabbi trust As of December 31, 2016 Short-term investments Certificates of deposit Long-term investments: Assets held in a rabbi trust Cost Basis Unrealized Gain Fair Value $ $ $ $ 81.4 $ — $ 8.3 $ 1.1 $ 64.1 $ — $ 7.9 $ 0.6 $ 81.4 9.4 64.1 8.5 The Company has certain 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 (Suzhou) Financial Technology Service Co., Ltd (Inspur JV) and 43.6 percent of Aisino-Wincor Retail & Banking Systems (Shanghai) Co.,Ltd; (Aisino JV). The Company engages in transactions in the ordinary course of business. The Company's strategic alliances are not significant subsidiaries and are accounted for under the equity method of investments. In May 2017, the Company announced a strategic partnership with Kony, which is located in Texas, a leading enterprise mobility and application company, to offer white label mobile application solutions for financial institutions and retailers. The Company acquired a minority equity stake in Kony, which is accounted for using the cost method of accounting. As of December 31, 2017, the Company's carrying value in Kony was $14.0 and the fair value was not estimated as there were no events or changes in circumstances in the investment. Securities and other investments also includes a cash surrender value of insurance contracts of $79.8 and $77.8 as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. In addition, it includes an interest rate swap asset carrying value of $7.6 and $8.4 as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, which also represents fair value (refer to note 20). NOTE 9: FINANCE LEASE RECEIVABLES The Company provides financing arrangements to customers purchasing its products. These financing arrangements are largely classified and accounted for as sales-type leases. 80 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-K as of December 31, 2017 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (in millions, except per share amounts) The following table presents finance lease receivables sold by the Company for the years ended December 31: Finance lease receivables sold 2017 2016 2015 $ — $ 7.4 $ 10.6 The following table presents the components of finance lease receivables as of December 31: Gross minimum lease receivable Allowance for credit losses Estimated unguaranteed residual values Less: Unearned interest income Unearned residuals Total 2017 2016 $ 26.6 $ (0.3) 1.1 27.4 (1.0) (0.1) (1.1) $ 26.3 $ Future minimum payments due from customers under finance lease receivables as of December 31, 2017 are as follows: 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Thereafter $ $ 63.3 (0.3) 3.7 66.7 (2.9) (0.1) (3.0) 63.7 12.6 7.8 4.0 1.8 0.2 0.2 26.6 NOTE 10: ALLOWANCE 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. The following table summarizes the Company’s allowance for credit losses and amount of financing receivables evaluated for impairment: Allowance for credit losses Balance at January 1, 2016 Write-offs Balance at December 31, 2016 Provision for credit losses Write-offs Balance at December 31, 2017 Finance Leases Notes Receivable Total $ $ $ 0.5 $ (0.2) 0.3 $ 0.1 (0.1) 0.3 $ 4.1 $ — 4.1 $ — — 4.1 $ 4.6 (0.2) 4.4 0.1 (0.1) 4.4 The Company's allowance of $4.4 and $4.4 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, all resulted from individual impairment evaluation. As of December 31, 2017, finance leases and notes receivables individually evaluated for impairment were $26.3 and $16.0, respectively, were assessed with no provision recorded. As of December 31, 2016, finance leases and notes receivables individually evaluated for impairment were $62.2 and $20.7, respectively, were assessed with no provision recorded. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company’s financing receivables in Brazil were $2.2 and $30.3, 81 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-K as of December 31, 2017 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (in millions, except per share amounts) respectively. The decrease is related primarily to recurring customer payments for financing arrangements in Brazil and the strengthening USD compared to the Brazil real. 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, 2017 and 2016, the recorded investment in past-due financing receivables on nonaccrual status was $0.6 and $0.4, 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, 2017 and 2016 and was fully reserved. The following table summarizes the Company’s aging of past-due notes receivable balances: 30-59 days past due 60-89 days past due > 89 days past due Total past due December 31, 2017 2016 $ $ — $ 0.1 4.0 4.1 $ The following table summarizes the Company’s allowances for doubtful accounts: Balance at January 1 Charged to costs and expenses Charged to other accounts (1) Deductions (2) Balance at December 31 2017 2016 2015 50.4 $ 31.7 $ 54.9 1.4 (35.0) 22.9 1.7 (5.9) 71.7 $ 50.4 $ $ $ (1) (2) Net effects of foreign currency translation.

The decrease in computer software and accumulated depreciation and amortization is primarily related to the write-off of certain fully depreciated enterprise resource planning assets. NOTE 13: GOODWILL AND OTHER ASSETS The Company’s three reportable operating segments are Services, Software and Systems. The Company has allocated goodwill to its Services, Software and Systems reportable operating segments. The changes in carrying amounts of goodwill within the Company's segments are summarized as follows: Goodwill Accumulated impairment losses Balance at January 1, 2016 Goodwill acquired Goodwill adjustment Currency translation adjustment Goodwill Accumulated impairment losses Balance at December 31, 2016 Goodwill acquired Goodwill adjustment Currency translation adjustment Goodwill Accumulated impairment losses Balance at December 31, 2017 Services Software Systems Total $ 452.2 $ — $ — $ (290.7) 161.5 459.1 (0.5) (20.8) 890.0 (290.7) 599.3 5.6 (1.1) 62.7 957.2 (290.7) — — 238.7 — (13.8) 224.9 — 224.9 — (1.0) 30.1 254.0 — — — 184.8 — (10.7) 174.1 — 174.1 — (0.8) 23.3 196.6 — 452.2 (290.7) 161.5 882.6 (0.5) (45.3) 1,289.0 (290.7) 998.3 5.6 (2.9) 116.1 1,407.8 (290.7) $ 666.5 $ 254.0 $ 196.6 $ 1,117.1 Goodwill. In the fourth quarter of 2017, goodwill was reviewed for impairment based on a two-step test, which resulted in no impairment in any of the Company's reporting units. The Company estimated the fair value of its nine reporting unit using a combination of the income valuation and market approach in valuation methodology. The determination of the fair value of the reporting unit requires significant estimates and assumptions, including significant unobservable inputs. The key inputs included, 83 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-K as of December 31, 2017 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (in millions, except per share amounts) but were not limited to, discount rates, terminal growth rates, market multiple data from selected guideline public companies, management’s internal forecasts which include numerous assumptions such as projected net sales, gross profit, sales mix, operating and capital expenditures and earnings before interest and taxes margins, among others. Management determined that the Services- AP and Software-EMEA reporting units had excess fair value of $15.4 or 8.1 percent and $1.3 or 0.6 percent, respectively, when compared to their carrying amounts. The other reporting units had excess fair value of approximately $50 or greater cushion when compared to their carrying amount. Changes in certain assumptions or the Company's failure to execute on the current plan could have a significant impact to the estimated fair value of the reporting units. The $5.6 acquired goodwill from Moxx and Visio primarily relates to anticipated synergies achieved through increased scale and higher utilization of the service organization. In August 2016, the Company acquired Diebold Nixdorf AG. During the first quarter of 2017, in connection with the business combination agreement related to the Acquisition, the Company realigned its reportable operating segment to its lines of business to drive greater efficiency and further improve customer service. 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, after completion of the business combination and related integration, to generate strong free cash flow, which would be used to make investments in innovative software and solutions and reduce debt. The Company has allocated goodwill to its Services, Software and Systems reportable operating segments. The goodwill associated with the Acquisition is not deductible for income tax purposes. In connection with the recasting from geographical regions to lines of business reportable operating segments, the Company has identified nine reporting units, which are summarized below: Services EMEA Software EMEA Americas Americas AP AP Systems EMEA Americas AP 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. In 2017, the Company recorded impairments totaling $3.1 related to IT transformation and integration activities. 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 following summarizes information on intangible assets by major category: December 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Weighted- average remaining useful lives Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Amount Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Amount Customer relationships, net 7.7 years $ 741.5 $ (108.2) $ 633.3 $ 621.7 $ (25.4) $ 596.3 Internally-developed software 2.6 years 192.9 (99.8) 93.1 151.0 (53.2) 97.8 Development costs non- software Other Other intangible assets, net 1.3 years 1.7 years 55.3 84.5 332.7 (35.1) (57.3) (192.2) 20.2 27.2 140.5 48.4 85.3 284.7 (9.7) (45.2) (108.1) 38.7 40.1 176.6 Total 4.1 years $ 1,074.2 $ (300.4) $ 773.8 $ 906.4 $ (133.5) $ 772.9 84 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-K as of December 31, 2017 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (in millions, except per share amounts) The increase in the gross carrying amount of intangible assets was due primarily to the impact of the euro. Amortization expense on capitalized software of $34.6, $24.4 and $14.5 was included in service and software cost of sales for 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company's total amortization expense, including deferred financing costs, was $159.3 and $73.0 for 2017 and 2016, respectively. The year-over-year increase in amortization expense was primarily related to the inclusion of a full year of amortization related to the identifiable intangibles related to the Acquisition. The expected annual amortization expense is as follows: 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 NOTE 14: DEBT Outstanding debt balances were as follows: Notes payable – current Uncommitted lines of credit Term Loan A Facility Delayed Draw Term Loan A Facility Term Loan B Facility - USD Term Loan B Facility - Euro European Investment Bank Other Long-term debt Revolving credit facility Term Loan A Facility Delayed Draw Term Loan A Facility Term Loan B Facility - USD Term Loan B Facility - Euro 2024 Senior Notes Other Long-term deferred financing fees Estimated amortization $ $ 147.9 125.1 96.2 86.0 78.2 533.4 December 31, 2017 2016 $ $ $ $ 16.2 $ 23.0 17.2 4.8 5.0 — 0.5 66.7 $ 75.0 $ 178.3 226.6 466.7 489.5 400.0 1.4 1,837.5 (50.4) 1,787.1 $ 9.4 17.3 — 10.0 3.7 63.1 3.4 106.9 — 201.3 — 787.5 363.5 400.0 0.8 1,753.1 (61.7) 1,691.4 As of December 31, 2017, the Company had various short-term uncommitted lines of credit with borrowing limits of $233.1. The weighted-average interest rate on outstanding borrowings on the short-term uncommitted lines of credit as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 was 9.17 percent and 9.87 percent, respectively. The decrease in the weighted-average interest rate is attributable to the change in mix of borrowings of foreign entities. Short-term uncommitted lines mature in less than one year. The amount available under the short-term uncommitted lines at December 31, 2017 was $216.9. 85 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-K as of December 31, 2017 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (in millions, except per share amounts) The cash flows related to debt borrowings and repayments were as follows: Revolving debt borrowings (repayments), net Proceeds from Delayed Draw Term Loan A Facility Proceeds from Term Loan B Facility - USD Proceeds from Term Loan B Facility - Euro Proceeds from 2024 Senior Notes International short-term uncommitted lines of credit borrowings Other debt borrowings Payments on 2006 Senior Notes Payments on Term Loan A Facility Payments on Delayed Draw Term Loan A Facility Payments on Term Loan B Facility - USD Payments on Term Loan B Facility - Euro Payments on European Investment Bank International short-term uncommitted lines of credit and other repayments Other debt repayments December 31, 2017 2016 75.0 $ (178.0) 250.0 $ — 73.3 — 50.8 — 990.0 398.1 393.0 56.6 374.1 $ 1,837.7 — $ (17.3) (6.3) (326.1) (4.6) (63.1) (41.4) (458.8) $ (225.0) (11.5) — (202.5) (0.9) — (222.6) (662.5) $ $ $ $ $ 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 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, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was 3.63 percent and 2.56 percent, respectively, which is variable based on the LIBOR. The amount available under the revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2017 was $445.0. On April 19, 2016, the Company issued $400.0 aggregate principal amount of 2024 Senior Notes. The 2024 Senior Notes are and will be guaranteed by certain of the Company’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries. On May 9, 2017, the Company entered into an incremental amendment to its Credit Agreement (the Incremental Agreement) which reduced the initial term loan B facility (the Term Loan B Facility) of a $1,000.0 USD-denominated tranche to $475.0. The reduction was funded using the $250.0 proceeds drawn from the Delayed Draw Term Loan A Facility, a replacement of $70.0 with Term Loan B Facility - Euro and previous principal payments. In connection with the Incremental Agreement, the interest rate with respect to the Term Loan B Facility - USD is based on, at the Company’s option, adjusted LIBOR plus 2.75 percent (with a floor of 0.00 percent) or Alternate Base Rate (ABR) plus 1.75 percent (with an ABR floor of 1.00 percent) and the interest rate with respect to the Term Loan B Facility - Euro is based on adjusted EURIBOR plus 3.00 percent (with a floor of 0.00 percent). Prior to the Incremental Agreement, the interest rate for the Term Loan B Facility - USD was 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 the interest rate for the Term Loan B Facility - Euro was at the EURIBOR plus an applicable margin of 4.25 percent. The Incremental Amendment also renewed the repricing premium of 1.00 percent in relation to the Term Loan B Facility to the date that is six months after the Incremental Effective Date, removed the requirement to prepay the repriced Dollar Term Loan 86 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-K as of December 31, 2017 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (in millions, except per share amounts) and the repriced Euro Term Loan upon any asset sale or casualty event if the Company is below a total net leverage ratio of 2.5:1.0 on a pro forma basis for such asset sale or casualty event and provides additional restricted payments and investment carveouts in regards to assets acquired with the Acquisition. All other material provisions under the Credit Agreement were unchanged. 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, 2017 are as follows: • • a maximum total net debt to adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio of 4.25 to 1.00 as of December 31, 2017 (reducing 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 to 1.00 The Company incurred $1.1 and $39.2 of fees in the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, related to the Credit Agreement and 2024 Senior Notes, which are amortized as a component of interest expense over the terms.

As of December 31, 2017, the Company was in compliance with the financial and other covenants in its debt agreements. 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. The Company also has the following defined benefit plans outside the U.S., among others: • • • 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. 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 occurred in early 2017 which transferred $186.8 of obligations and assets and is included in the settlements caption in the following tables. Final settlement accounting for this plan took place and resulted in $0.4 of income for the year. Supplemental Executive Retirement Benefits. The Company has non-qualified pension plans in the U.S. to provide supplemental retirement benefits to certain officers, which were also frozen since December 2013. Benefits are payable at retirement based upon a percentage of the participant’s compensation, as defined. 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. 88 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-K as of December 31, 2017 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (in millions, except per share amounts) The following tables set forth the change in benefit obligation, change in plan assets, funded status, consolidated balance sheet presentation and net periodic benefit cost for the Company’s defined benefit pension plans and other benefits at and for the years ended December 31: Change in benefit obligation Benefit obligation at beginning of year Service cost Interest cost Actuarial (gain) loss Plan participant contributions Benefits paid Plan amendments Special termination benefits Curtailment Settlements Foreign currency impact Acquired benefit plans and other Benefit obligation at end of year Change in plan assets Fair value of plan assets at beginning of year Actual return on plan assets Employer contributions Plan participant contributions Benefits paid Foreign currency impact Acquired benefit plans and other Settlements Retirement Benefits Other Benefits U.S. Plans 2017 2016 Non-U.S. Plans 2017 2016 2017 2016 $ 554.5 $ 544.7 $ 546.9 $ 1.7 $ 10.8 $ 12.7 3.9 22.9 17.9 — 3.5 24.7 11.6 — (30.2) (30.0) — — — — — — — — — — — — 569.0 554.5 351.7 53.6 3.6 — 347.9 30.4 3.4 — (30.2) (30.0) — — — — — — 10.5 5.7 7.5 1.3 (10.0) (0.8) 0.1 — (191.4) 59.2 23.0 452.0 482.9 12.7 1.3 1.3 (10.0) 51.7 11.0 (191.4) 359.5 5.5 2.7 (44.6) 0.9 (5.1) — — (4.6) — (34.7) 625.1 546.9 — (12.3) 5.3 0.9 (5.1) (30.1) 524.2 — 482.9 — 0.4 (0.5) — (0.8) — — — — — — 9.9 — — 0.8 — — 0.5 (1.3) — (1.1) — — — — — — 10.8 — — 1.1 — (0.8) (1.1) — — — — — — — — Fair value of plan assets at end of year 378.7 351.7 Funded status $ (190.3) $ (202.8) $ (92.5) $ (64.0) $ (9.9) $ (10.8) Amounts recognized in balance sheets Noncurrent assets Current liabilities Noncurrent liabilities (1) Accumulated other comprehensive loss: Unrecognized net actuarial gain (loss) (2) Unrecognized prior service benefit (cost) (2) $ 0.3 $ — $ 6.9 $ 15.7 $ — $ 3.5 187.1 3.5 199.3 (154.4) (170.1) — — 3.2 96.2 27.7 0.8 3.3 76.4 27.8 (0.1) 1.1 8.8 (0.5) — Net amount recognized $ 35.9 $ 32.7 $ 121.0 $ 91.7 $ 9.4 $ — 1.1 9.7 (1.1) — 9.7 (1) (2) Included in the consolidated balance sheets in pensions and other benefits and other post-retirement benefits are international plans.

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 2017, the Society of Actuaries released new mortality improvement projection scale (MP-2017) resulting from recent studies measuring mortality rates for various groups of individuals. As of December 31, 2017, 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-2017 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. The following table represents assumed healthcare cost trend rates at December 31: Healthcare cost trend rate assumed for next year Rate to which the cost trend rate is assumed to decline (the ultimate trend rate) Year that rate reaches ultimate trend rate 2017 2016 6.8% 5.0% 2025 7.0% 5.0% 2025 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 6.8 percent and 7.0 percent in 2017 and 2016, respectively, with an ultimate trend rate of 5.0 percent reached in 2025. Assumed healthcare cost trend rates have a modest effect on the amounts reported for the healthcare plans. A one-percentage-point change in assumed healthcare cost trend rates would have the following effects: Effect on total of service and interest cost Effect on post-retirement benefit obligation One-Percentage- Point Increase One-Percentage- Point Decrease $ $ — $ 0.5 $ — (0.5) 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 91 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-K as of December 31, 2017 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (in millions, except per share amounts) (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 allocation for these asset classes in 2018, which are readjusted at least quarterly within a defined range for the U.S., and the Company’s actual pension plan asset allocation as of December 31, 2017 and 2016: Equity securities Debt securities Real estate Other Total Target 2018 45% 40% 5% 10% 100% U.S. Plans Actual 2017 46% 40% 5% 9% 100% 2016 45% 41% 5% 9% 100% Target 2018 34% 36% 9% 21% 100% Non-U.S. Plans Actual 2017 24% 26% 11% 39% 100% 2016 9% 46% 4% 41% 100% 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. 92 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-K as of December 31, 2017 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (in millions, except per share amounts) The following table summarizes the fair value of the Company’s plan assets as of December 31, 2017: U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 $ 3.5 $ 3.5 $ — $ — $ 82.5 $ 82.1 $ 0.4 $ 77.5 77.5 Cash and short-term investments Mutual funds Equity securities U.S. mid cap value U.S. small cap core International developed markets Emerging markets Fixed income securities U.S. corporate bonds International corporate bonds U.S. government Fixed and index funds Common collective trusts Real estate (a) Other (b) Alternative investments Multi-strategy hedge funds (c) Private equity funds (d) Other alternative investments (e) Fair value of plan assets at end of year 32.0 32.0 — 19.0 39.3 19.5 50.0 — 7.7 0.6 19.2 159.9 18.9 9.1 — — 19.0 39.3 — — — — — — — — — — — — — — 19.5 50.0 — 7.7 0.6 — 159.9 — — — — — — — — — — — — 19.2 — 18.9 9.1 0.7 — 11.2 — — 86.9 — 11.7 4.7 — 1.6 — 0.7 — 11.2 — — 5.9 — 7.4 — — — — — — — — — — — 81.0 — 4.3 4.7 — 1.6 — 0.9 — — — — — — — — — — — — — — 81.8 — 82.7 $ 378.7 $ 93.8 $ 237.7 $ 47.2 $ 359.5 $ 184.8 $ 92.9 $ 81.8 93 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-K as of December 31, 2017 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (in millions, except per share amounts) The following table summarizes the fair value of the Company’s plan assets as of December 31, 2016: U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 $ 3.4 $ 3.4 $ — $ — $ 92.3 $ 92.3 $ — $ 61.6 61.6 Cash and short-term investments Mutual funds Equity securities U.S. mid cap value U.S. small cap core International developed markets Emerging markets Fixed income securities U.S. corporate bonds International corporate bonds U.S. government Fixed and index funds Common collective trusts Real estate (a) Other (b) Alternative investments Multi-strategy hedge funds (c) Private equity funds (d) Other alternative investments (e) Fair value of plan assets at end of year 28.2 28.2 — 16.9 36.9 16.5 44.8 — 7.7 1.5 18.1 148.4 17.6 11.7 — — 16.9 36.9 — — — — — — — — — — — — — — 16.5 44.8 — 7.7 1.5 — 148.4 — — — — — — — — — — — — 18.1 — 17.6 11.7 0.1 — 9.2 — — 77.3 — 5.4 4.3 — 2.8 — — — — — — — 77.3 — 5.4 4.3 — 2.1 — — — — — — — — — — — — — — 0.7 — 229.9 0.1 — 9.2 — — — — — — — — — — $ 351.7 $ 85.4 $ 218.9 $ 47.4 $ 482.9 $ 163.2 $ 89.1 $ 230.6 — 229.9 (a) Real estate common collective trust. The objective of the real estate common collective trust (CCT) is to achieve long-term returns through investments in a broadly diversified portfolio of improved properties with stabilized occupancies. As of December 31, 2017, investments in this CCT, for U.S. plans, included approximately 41 percent office, 21 percent residential, 27 percent retail and 11 percent industrial, cash and other. As of December 31, 2016, investments in this CCT, for U.S. plans, included approximately 39 percent office, 20 percent residential, 25 percent retail and 16 percent industrial, cash and other. Investments in the real estate CCT can be redeemed once per quarter subject to available cash, with a 45-day notice. (b) Other common collective trusts. At December 31, 2017, approximately 59 percent of the other CCTs are invested in fixed income securities including approximately 15 percent in mortgage-backed securities, 54 percent in corporate bonds and 31 percent in U.S. Treasury and other. Approximately 41 percent of the other CCTs at December 31, 2017 are invested in Russell 1000 Fund large cap index funds.

At December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had unfunded commitments of underlying funds of $5.5 in both years. (e) Other alternative investments. Following the Acquisition, the Company’s plan assets were expanded with a combination of insurance contracts, multi-strategy investment funds and company-owned real estate. The fair value for these assets is determined based on the NAV as reported by the underlying investment manager, insurance companies and the trustees of the CTA.

The Company expects to contribute $1.1 to its other post-retirement benefit plan and expects to contribute $49.6 to its retirement plans, including the nonqualified plan, as well as benefits payments directly from the Company during the year ending December 31, 2018. The following benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, are expected to be paid: 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023-2027 U.S. Pension Benefits Non-U.S. Pension Benefits Other Benefits Other Benefits after Medicare Part D Subsidy $ $ $ $ $ $ 27.9 $ 28.5 $ 29.1 $ 29.8 $ 30.3 $ 28.7 $ 26.6 $ 25.8 $ 27.3 $ 24.6 $ 157.6 $ 130.4 $ 1.1 $ 1.0 $ 1.0 $ 0.9 $ 0.9 $ 3.7 $ 1.0 0.9 0.9 0.9 0.8 3.4 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. 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 $8.2, $8.3 and $9.5 for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, 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. 95 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-K as of December 31, 2017 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (in millions, except per share amounts) NOTE 16: LEASES The Company’s future minimum lease payments due under non-cancellable operating leases for real estate, vehicles and other equipment at December 31, 2017 are as follows: 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Thereafter Total Real Estate Vehicles and Equipment (a) $ 89.6 $ 52.3 $ 53.8 30.5 24.3 19.1 13.1 39.5 24.4 21.6 17.3 12.2 $ 230.4 $ 167.3 $ 37.3 14.3 6.1 2.7 1.8 0.9 63.1 (a) 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 $125.4, $84.3 and $67.7 for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, 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, 2017, the maximum future contractual obligations relative to these various guarantees totaled $195.1, of which $28.0 represented standby letters of credit to insurance providers, and no associated liability was recorded. At December 31, 2016, the maximum future payment 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. The Company provides its customers a standard manufacturer’s warranty and records, at the time of the sale, a corresponding estimated liability for potential warranty costs. Estimated future obligations due to warranty claims are based upon historical factors such as labor rates, average repair time, travel time, number of service calls per machine and cost of replacement parts. Changes in the Company’s warranty liability balance are illustrated in the following table: Balance at January 1 Current period accruals Current period settlements Acquired warranty accruals Currency translation Balance at December 31 2017 2016 101.6 $ 36.0 (65.2) — 4.3 76.7 $ 73.6 53.4 (73.5) 43.8 4.3 101.6 $ $ 96 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-K as of December 31, 2017 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (in millions, except per share amounts) NOTE 18: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Contractual Obligation At December 31, 2017, the Company had purchase commitments due within one year totaling $11.1 for materials and services through contract manufacturing agreements at negotiated prices. The amounts purchased under these obligations totaled $14.2 in 2017. The Company guarantees a fixed cost of certain products used in production to its strategic partners. Variations in the products costs are absorbed by the Company. 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, 2017, 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, 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. On September 10, 2012, the Company filed its administrative defenses with the tax authorities. In March 2017, the administrative proceedings concluded and the assessment was reduced approximately 95 percent to a total of R$17.3 including penalties and interest as of March 2017. The Company is pursuing its remedies in the judicial sphere and management continues to believe that it has valid legal positions. 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 has challenged the 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, challenged 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. In August 2017, the Supreme Court of Thailand ruled in the Company's favor, finding that Customs' attempt to collect duties for importation of ATMs is improper. In addition, in August 2016 and February 2017, the tax court of appeals rendered decisions in favor of the Company related to more than half of the assessments at issue. The surviving matters remain at various stages of the appeals process and the Company will use the Supreme Court's decision in support of its position in those matters. Management remains confident that the Company has a valid legal position in these appeals. Accordingly, the Company does not have any amount accrued for this contingency. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had an accrual related to the Brazil indirect tax matter disclosed above of $4.9 and $7.3, respectively. The reduction in the accrual is due to the expiration of the statute of limitations related to years subject to audit and foreign currency fluctuations 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, 2017 to be up to $144.7 for its material indirect tax matters, of which $25.7 and $27.0, respectively, relates to the Brazil indirect tax matter and 97 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-K as of December 31, 2017 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (in millions, except per share amounts) 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, 2017, 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 SEC and a Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to settle charges arising from violations of the FCPA. Pursuant to those agreements, the Company 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. In addition to these normal course of business litigation matters, the Company was a party to the proceedings described below: Diebold KGaA is a party to appraisal proceedings (Spruchverfahren) relating to the DPLTA entered into by Diebold KGaA and Diebold Nixdorf AG on September 26, 2016 pending at the District Court (Landgericht) of Dortmund (Germany). The appraisal proceedings were filed by minority shareholders of Diebold Nixdorf AG challenging the adequacy of both, the cash exit compensation of €55.02 per Diebold Nixdorf AG share and the annual recurring compensation of €3.13 (€2.82 net under the current taxation regime) per Diebold Nixdorf AG share offered in connection with the DPLTA. A ruling by the court would apply to all Diebold Nixdorf AG shares outstanding at the time the DPLTA became effective. While the Company believes that the compensation offered in connection with the DPLTA was fair and the claims lack merit, this matter is still at a preliminary stage and the outcome is uncertain. As a result, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of losses, if any, arising from this litigation. 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 or financing activities. The Company’s derivative foreign currency instruments are used to manage differences in the amount of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and cash payments principally related to the Company’s non functional currency assets and liabilities. The Company's interest rate derivatives are used to manage the differences in amount due to variable rate interest rate borrowings. 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: Derivative instrument Classification on consolidated statement of operations 2017 2016 2015 Non-designated hedges and interest rate swaps Interest expense $ (4.3) $ (5.1) $ (4.2) Gain on foreign currency option contracts - acquisition related Miscellaneous, net Foreign exchange forward contracts and cash flow hedges Foreign exchange gain (loss), net Foreign exchange forward contracts - acquisition related Miscellaneous, net Total — 6.3 — 35.6 4.4 (26.4) 7.0 10.7 — $ 2.0 $ 8.5 $ 13.5 98 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-K as of December 31, 2017 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (in millions, except per share amounts) FOREIGN EXCHANGE Net Investment Hedges.The Company has international subsidiaries with net balance sheet positions that generate cumulative translation adjustments within AOCI. The Company uses derivatives to manage potential changes in value of its net investments. The Company uses the forward-to-forward method for its quarterly measurement of ineffectiveness 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 $2.0 and $(0.3) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.The loss recognized in AOCI on net investment hedge derivative instruments was $(2.2) and $(13.3) for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. 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 USD. Effectiveness is 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 $(41.3) and $22.8 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. On March 30, 2017, the Company de-designated €130.6 of its euro-denominated Term Loan B Facility and on May 9, 2017, the Company designated an additional €66.8 of its euro-denominated Term Loan B Facility as a result of its repricing described under note 14. On September 21, 2017, the Company de-designated €100.0 of its euro-denominated Term Loan B Facility. 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 $(4.9) and $2.6 as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, 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 (WNI) is the Diebold Nixdorf AG currency management center. Currency risks in the aggregate are identified, quantified, and controlled at the WNI treasury center, and furthermore, it provides foreign currencies if necessary. The Diebold Nixdorf AG subsidiaries are primarily exposed to the USD and GBP as the 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, 2017, the Company had the following outstanding foreign currency derivatives that were used to hedge its foreign exchange risks: Foreign Currency Derivative Number of Instruments Notional Sold Notional Purchased Currency forward agreements (EUR-USD) Currency forward agreements (EUR-GBP) Currency forward agreements (EUR-CAD) Currency forward agreements (EUR-CZK) 10 12 1 2 56.8 USD 31.0 GBP 1.0 CAD 161.6 CZK 49.6 35.0 0.7 6.1 EUR EUR EUR EUR Foreign 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 99 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-K as of December 31, 2017 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (in millions, except per share amounts) proceeds of $42.6, which are included in investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows, resulting in a gain of $35.6 and $7.0 during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and included in other income (expense) miscellaneous, net on the consolidated statements of operations. The weighted average strike price was $1.09 per euro. 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 was 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 for the periods it was outstanding. 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 2016. For 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 other income (expense) miscellaneous, net as these contracts were settled during the year. 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. The fair value of the Company’s interest rate contracts was $9.8 as of December 31, 2017. 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 a minimal amount will be reclassified as a decrease 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 rate of 2.97 percent is paid. The fair value, which is measured at market prices, as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $(5.5) and $(6.9), respectively. The interest rate contract is not designated and changes in the fair value of non-designated interest rate swap agreements are recognized in Miscellaneous, net in the consolidated statements of operations. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recognized $1.4 in interest expense relating to the interest rate. Additionally, the Company does not enter into or use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. 100 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-K as of December 31, 2017 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (in millions, except per share amounts) NOTE 20: FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES Refer to note 1 for the Company’s accounting policies related to fair value accounting.

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 and $21.2 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The multi-year transformation plan incurred cumulative total restructuring costs of $105.0 and $3.5 related to severance and other costs, respectively, and was considered complete as of December 31, 2016. DN2020 Plan As of August 15, 2016, the date of the Acquisition, the Company launched a multi-year integration and transformation program, known as DN2020. The DN2020 plan focuses on the utilization of cost efficiencies and synergy opportunities that result from the Acquisition, which aligns employee activities with the Company's goal of delivering net operating profit savings of approximately $240 by the year 2020. During 2017, the Company closed certain facilities in Hungary and the Netherlands. The Company incurred restructuring charges primarily related to severance of $47.0 and $42.8 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 related to this plan. The Company anticipates additional restructuring costs of approximately $50 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. During the third quarter of 2017, the Company recorded a measurement period adjustment of $8.2 to the acquired restructuring accrual resulting in a $37.3 final fair value. 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. 102 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-K as of December 31, 2017 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (in millions, except per share amounts) 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 Systems solutions in China. The Inspur Group holds a majority stake of 60.0 percent in the 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) miscellaneous, net 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 $2.4 and $5.7 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 related to this plan. The Company anticipates minimal additional restructuring costs to be incurred through the end of the plan.

The Company continually considers its operating structure and the information subject to regular review by the Office of the Chief Executive, who are the CODM, to identify reportable operating segments. The Company’s operating structure is based on a number of factors that management uses to evaluate, view and run its business operations, which currently includes, but is not limited to, product, service and solution. The Company measures the performance of each segment based on several metrics, including net sales and segment operating profit. The CODM uses these results to make decisions, allocate resources and assess performance by the LOBs. Segment revenue represents revenues from sales to external customers. Segment operating profit is defined as revenues less expenses identifiable to those segments. The Company does not allocate to its segments certain operating expenses, which it manages at the corporate level; that are not routinely used in the management of the segments; or information that is impractical to report. These unallocated costs include certain corporate costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets and deferred revenue, restructuring charges, impairment charges, legal, indemnification, and professional fees related to corporate monitor efforts, acquisition and divestiture expenses, along with other income (expenses). Segment operating profit 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. Assets are not allocated to segments, and thus are not included in the assessment of segment performance, and consequently, the Company does not disclose total assets and depreciation and amortization expense by reportable operating segment. 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. During the first quarter of 2017, the Company reorganized the management team reporting to the CODM and evaluated and assessed the LOB reporting structure. The Company's reportable operating segments are based on the following three LOBs: Services, Systems, and Software. As a result, the Company reclassified comparative periods for consistency which were previously reported as four geographical segments of: NA, AP, EMEA and LA. The presentation of comparative periods also reflects the reclassification of certain global manufacturing administration expenses from corporate charges not allocated to segments to segment operating profit. Services Product-related services provided by the Company include proactive monitoring and rapid resolution of incidents through remote service capabilities or an on-site visit. First and second line maintenance, preventive maintenance and on-demand services keep the distributed assets of the Company's customers up and running through a standardized incident management process. Managed services and outsourcing consists of the end-to-end business processes, solution management, upgrades and transaction processing. The global service supply chain optimizes the process for obtaining replacement parts, making repairs, and implementing new features and functionality. The Company also provides a full array of cash management services, which optimizes the availability and cost of physical currency across the enterprise through efficient forecasting, inventory and replenishment processes. Software The Company provides front end applications for consumer connection points and back end platforms that manage channel transactions, operations and integration. The Company’s hardware-agnostic software applications facilitate millions of transactions via ATMs, POS terminals, kiosks, and a host of other self-service devices. The Company’s platform software facilitates omni-channel transactions, endpoint monitoring, remote asset management, marketing, merchandise management and analytics. The professional services team provides systems integration, customization, consulting and project management. The Company’s advisory services team collaborates with its customers to help define optimal user experience, improve business processes, refine existing staffing models and deploy technology to meet branch automation objectives. Systems The systems portfolio consists of cash recyclers and dispensers, intelligent deposit terminals, teller automation tools, physical security devices, integrated and mobile POS systems. Supplementing the POS system 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 and ordering kiosks. 104 DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES FORM 10-K as of December 31, 2017 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (in millions, except per share amounts) The following tables represent information regarding the Company’s segment information and provides a reconciliation between segment operating profit and the consolidated income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes for the years ended December 31: $ $ $ $ Net sales summary by segment Services Software Systems Total customer revenues Segment operating profit Services Software Systems Total segment operating profit Corporate charges not allocated to segments (1) Impairment of assets Restructuring charges Net non-routine income (expense) Operating profit (loss) Other income (expense) 2017 2016 2015 2,397.3 $ 1,726.7 $ 1,295.7 476.6 1,735.4 256.3 1,333.3 139.1 984.5 4,609.3 $ 3,316.3 $ 2,419.3 344.8 $ 298.7 $ 33.7 (24.2) 9.6 (24.7) 354.3 $ 283.6 $ (130.1) (3.1) (49.4) (255.3) (437.9) (83.6) (92.1) (124.9) (9.8) (59.4) (249.3) (443.4) (159.8) (78.5) 262.8 11.8 (48.8) 225.8 (90.7) (18.9) (21.2) (36.4) (167.2) 58.6 (12.8) 45.8 Income (loss) from continuing operations before taxes $ (175.7) $ (238.3) $ (1) Corporate charges not allocated to segments include headquarter-based costs associated with procurement, human resources, compensation and benefits, finance and accounting, global development/engineering, global strategy/mergers and acquisitions, global information technology, tax, treasury and legal.

The divestiture closed on June 30, 2017. The legacy, independent Wincor Nixdorf U.K. and Ireland business will be completely integrated into the global Diebold Nixdorf operations and brand. As part of the Company's routine efforts to evaluate its business operations, during 2017, the Company agreed to sell its ES businesses located in Mexico and Chile to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Securitas AB and Avant, respectively. The Company recorded a pre-tax gain of $2.2 related to these transactions. The combined net sales of the divestitures represented less than one percent of total net sales of the Company for 2017 and 2016. 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 banking solutions in China. The Inspur Group will hold a majority stake of 51.0 percent in the new jointly owned company, Inspur JV.

The Inspur JV offers 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 does not consolidate Inspur JV and includes its results of operations in equity in earnings of an investee included in other income (expense) of the consolidated statements of operations. 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.

applicable. 117 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 co-Chief Executive Officer (co-CEOs) 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 co-CEOs and CFO, to evaluate the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s co-CEOs 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 its co-CEOs 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, 2017. 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, 2017. This report is included in Item 8 of this annual report on Form 10-K. (b) CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING On August 15, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of Diebold Nixdorf AG. During 2017, management integrated DIebold Nixdorf AG into the Company's internal control over financial reporting framework. During the quarter ended December 31, 2017, there have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this annual report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
