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

made great strides in transforming itself over

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

GARY G. 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. Therefore,

ITEM 1: BUSINESS 
(dollars in millions)

GENERAL

Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated (collectively with its subsidiaries, the Company) provides Connected Commerce solutions which 
enable millions of transactions each day. The Company’s approximately 23,000 employees design and deliver convenient, “always 
on” and highly secure solutions that bridge the physical and the digital worlds of transactions. Customers of the Company include 
nearly all of the world’s top 100 financial institutions and a majority of the top 25 global retailers.

In 2016, the Company changed its name from Diebold to Diebold Nixdorf, following the transformational acquisition of Wincor 
Nixdorf Aktiengesellschaft (now known as Diebold Nixdorf AG) (the Acquisition). 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. This business requires ongoing investment in the development of intelligent information technology (IT) 
solutions and in the further development of our industry-leading services organization. The Company will continuously refine its 
research and development (R&D) spend in support of a better transaction experience for consumers and additionally accelerate 
the development and integration of innovative technology including cloud computing technology, touch points, sensors and 
connectivity to the Internet of Things, as well as open and agile software. 

Integration and Transformation Program

Commensurate with its strategy, the Company is executing a multi-year integration and transformation program, called DN2020, 
which aligns employee activities with the Company's goal of realizing $240 of operating profit savings by the year 2020. Additional 
objectives of the program are to deliver greater innovation for customers, career enrichment opportunities for employees, and 
enhanced value for shareholders. DN2020 consists of six inter-related elements:

Advancing the Company's Connected Commerce Strategy - the Company will continue to develop innovative technology 
and partner with external companies to deliver highly secure customer-centric solutions. This includes the application 
of  cloud  computing  technology,  mobile  technology,  sensors  and  the  Internet  of  Things,  as  well  as  open  and  agile 
software delivered “as-a-service."

Pursuing Finance Excellence - the Company will continuously improve its financial reporting, analysis and controls by 
emulating best practices from similar business entities. The Company's initiatives are designed to improve forecasting 
accuracy,  optimize  working  capital  management  and  pursue  prudent  capital  allocation  strategies  which  enhance 
shareholder value. At present, the Company's capital allocation priorities are to reduce its leverage and accelerate the 
realization of its cost reductions and synergies.

Executing the Company's Integration Plan - the Company’s detailed integration plan is designed to harmonize legacy 
business practices and build upon the best practices from each legacy company. The integration plan will leverage the 
Company's global scale, reduce overlap and improve the profitability of the Company. 

Pursuing Operational Excellence - to strengthen its market leading position, the Company will implement best practices 
to improve operational efficiency and increase customer satisfaction. Robust reporting and tracking tools will be used 
to achieve best-in-class service and manufacturing levels.

Establish an Innovative Culture, which Attracts Industry-Leading Talent - the Company aims to become an employer of 
choice in the Connected Commerce space. We are building a culture characterized by innovation, customer collaboration, 
accountability and strong ethical behavior. The Company encourages experiential learning and will invest in training 
resources for the purposes of developing a vibrant workforce and expanding its leadership in Connected Commerce. 
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. At the country level, we will optimize sales staffing and invest in partner 
programs commensurate with overall market demand. As a result of these investments, the Company expects to increase 
its pipeline of opportunities and increase its win rate over time.

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.

also known as multi-vendor support. 

Product-related services provided by the Company include rapid resolution of incidents through remote service capabilities or 
an on-site visit. First and second line maintenance, preventive maintenance and on-demand services leverage a standardized 
incident management process to increase uptime of distributed assets.

Managed services and outsourcing consists of managing the end-to-end business processes, technology integration, and day-
to-day operation of the self-service channel, bank branch and retail store networks. Managed services is the integrator of our 
solutions by bringing together services, software and systems into a long-term, outcome-based solution. Offerings include store 
lifecycle management, self-service fleet management, branch lifecycle management, ATM as-a-service and managed mobility 
services. 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. These  services  mitigate 
customer risks by relying on proven monitoring and reporting processes, secure tools and partnerships with larger cash-in-transit 
companies. In 2017, the Company began to provide new managed mobility services which efficiently operate retailers’ network 
of handheld devices.

Under DN2020, the Services LOB has a dual mandate of delivering revenue growth while improving efficiency. Sources of top-
line growth include 1) increasing the Company's service attach rate on any unserved ATMs, POS and SCO systems in use, 2) up-
selling current customers on managed services and 3) increasing billed work revenue by leveraging best practices across different 
countries  and  regions.  The  Services  LOB  expects  to  improve  operating  efficiency  by  implementing  standard  service  tools, 
optimizing business processes, increasing the market acceptance of remote connection and resolution, and streamlining global 
delivery centers and stocking facilities.

An important enabler of the Company’s software business is the more than 1,900 professional service employees who provide 
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 LOB

Through collaboration with customers, engineering excellence and an efficient supply chain, the Company delivers industry-
leading customer touchpoints to banks, retailers and other customers. These systems enable highly secure physical and digital 
transactions around the world. The Company integrates component technologies according to customer specifications in order 
to optimize the total cost of ownership and maximize transaction availability while creating a positive impression on customers. 

The  systems  portfolio  for  banking  customers  consists  of  cash  recyclers  and  dispensers,  intelligent  deposit  terminals,  teller 
automation and kiosk technologies, as well as physical security solutions. Recent innovation concepts include the miniaturized 
Extreme ATM, Essence and Fusion. Extreme ATM is the smallest ATM ever developed at less than 10” wide, which allows customers 
to  stage  transactions  on  mobile  phones  and  complete  transactions  using  Bluetooth®  devices  or  near-field communication. 
Essence is a highly-secure and miniaturized ATM that features a sleek, antimicrobial glass touchscreen display and enhanced 
user interface modeled after today’s smartphones and tablet computers. Fusion is a modular and dynamic self-service touchpoint 
consisting of three interchangeable user interfaces that can connect with three different cash handling platforms. 

For retail customers, the checkout portfolio includes modular, integrated and mobile POS systems that meet evolving automation 
and omni-channel requirements of consumers. 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. The portfolio, the Company also provides self-checkout terminals and ordering kiosks which facilitate an efficient and 
user-friendly purchasing experience. The Company’s hybrid product line, the BEETLE iSCAN EASY eXpress, can alternate from 
attended operation to self-checkout with the press of a button as traffic conditions warrant. The K-Two Kiosk automates routine 
tasks and in-store transactions, offers order-taking abilities at quick service restaurants (QSR) and fast casual restaurants, provides 
customer service, supplies product information, sells tickets and presents functionality that furthers store digitalization.

Under the DN2020 program, the Systems LOB objectives include introducing new innovations which are aligned with changing 
consumer demands and delivering greater operating efficiencies. With respect to innovation, the Company will continue to spend 
significant R&D dollars on the latest technology, which includes:

•

•
•

Advanced security solutions including anti-skimming card readers, biometric authentication and a modular, scalable
architecture suited for various threat environments and risk appetites;
Facilitating real-time monitoring activities through the use of advanced sensors;
Remote and assisted self-service solutions including in-store/branch tablet notifications and two-way video
capabilities;

5

• Mobile connectivity to support contactless transactions; and
• Miniaturization technologies needed for branch/store transformation.

With respect to operating efficiencies, the Company's activities include:

•
•
•
•

Leveraging the purchasing power of the Company through its procurement partnership program;
Streamlining the product portfolio - including terminals, core technologies and components;
Developing a partner ecosystem to complement the Company's core technologies; and
Consolidating manufacturing capacity to optimize fixed costs

Leveraging the broad portfolio of solutions, the Company offers customers the flexibility to select the combination of services, 
software and systems that drives the most value to their business. For example, the Company offers end-to-end branch and store 
automation solutions that consist of the complete value chain of consult, design, build and operate. Branch and store automation 
helps financial institutions grow revenue, reduce costs, and increase convenience and security for their customers by migrating 
routine transactions, typically done inside the branch or store, to lower-cost automated channels. 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.

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.

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

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

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

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

The Company may not realize all of the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition. The success of the Acquisition 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.

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.

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.

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.

OVERVIEW

Management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying 
notes that appear elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K. For additional information regarding general information regarding 
the Company, its business, strategy, competitors and operations, refer to Item 1. Business.

Business Drivers

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

•

•
•
•
•
•
•

Demand for services on distributed IT assets such as ATMs, POS and SCO, including managed services and professional
services;
Timing of system upgrades and/or replacement cycles for ATMs, POS and SCO;
Demand for software products and professional services;
Demand for security products and services for the financial, retail and commercial sectors;
Demand for innovative technology in connection with our Connected Commerce strategy;
Integration of legacy salesforce, business processes, procurement, and internal IT systems; and
Realization of cost reductions and synergies, which leverage the Company's global scale, reduce overlap and improve
operating efficiencies.

During the first quarter of 2017, the Company reorganized the management team reporting to the Chief Operating Decision 
Maker  (CODM)  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.

(1) The Company calculates constant currency by translating the prior-year period results at the current year exchange rate.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

Refer to note 7 Income Taxes included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this Annual Report for further 
details regarding the reconciliation of the effective tax rate.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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:

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).

•

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,

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.

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

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.

In March 2006, the Company issued senior notes (the 2006 Senior Notes) in an aggregate principal amount of $300.0. The Company 
funded the repayment of $75.0 aggregate principal amount of the 2006 Senior Notes at maturity in March 2013 using borrowings 
under its revolving credit facility and the repayment of $175.0 aggregate principal amount of the 2006 Senior Notes that matured 
in March 2016 through the use of proceeds from the divestiture of the Company's NA 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).

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

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS as of December 31, 2017

(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

(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.

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:

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-

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.

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

The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk inherent in its international operations denominated in currencies 
other than the U.S. dollar. A hypothetical 10 percent movement in the applicable foreign exchange rates would have resulted in 
an increase or decrease in 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.

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”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all 
material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations 
and its cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2017, in conformity with U.S. generally 
accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) 
(“PCAOB”), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based on criteria established in 
Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway 
Commission, and our report dated February 28, 2018 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s 
internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express 
an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. 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 audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform 
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material 
misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material 
misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond 
to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the 
consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates 
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that 
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated:

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 

We have audited Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated and subsidiaries’ (the “Company”) internal control over financial reporting as 
of December 31, 2017, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the 
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material 
respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based on criteria established in Internal 
Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) 
(“PCAOB”), the consolidated balance sheets of 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"), and our report dated 
February 28, 2018 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Basis for Opinion 

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its 
assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report 
on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under item 9A(a) of the Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated’s December 31, 
2017 annual report on Form 10-K. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial 
reporting based on our audit. We 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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

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.

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

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.

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.

(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

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. Refer to note 3 for more information.

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.

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

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:

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

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.

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

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

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

NOTE 6: SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION AND EQUITY

Dividends. 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.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION AWARDS

Stock options, RSUs, restricted shares and performance shares have been issued to officers and other management employees 
under the Company’s 1991 Plan and 2017 Plan. 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)

Risk-free interest rate

Expected dividend yield

The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise timing within the valuation model. Employees with similar historical 
exercise behavior  with  regard to  timing  and  forfeiture rates  are considered separately  for  valuation  and  attribution  purposes. 
Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the price of the Company’s common shares 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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

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:

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.

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:

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,

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.

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,

(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

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 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

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.

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

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.

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

In March 2006, the Company issued the 2006 Senior Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $300.0. The Company funded 
the repayment of $75.0 aggregate principal amount of the 2006 Senior Notes at maturity in March 2013 using borrowings under 
its revolving credit facility and the repayment of $175.0 aggregate principal amount of the 2006 Senior Notes that matured in 
March 2016 through the use of proceeds from the divestiture of the Company's NA 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.

The Company’s financing agreements contain various restrictive financial covenants, including net debt to capitalization, net debt 
to EBITDA and net interest coverage ratios. 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.

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

During 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 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.

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

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

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

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

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

Retirement Savings Plan. The Company offers employee 401(k) savings plans (Savings Plans) to encourage eligible employees to 
save on a regular basis by payroll deductions. 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.

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.

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

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:

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 Option and Forward Contracts - acquisition related. On November 23, 2015, the Company entered into two
foreign currency option contracts to purchase €1,416.0 for $1,547.1 to hedge against the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on 
the euro-denominated cash consideration related to the Acquisition and estimated euro-denominated transaction related costs 
and any outstanding Diebold Nixdorf AG borrowings. At that time, the euro-denominated cash component of the purchase price 
consideration approximated €1,162.2. The foreign currency option contracts were sold during the second quarter of 2016 for cash

proceeds of $42.6, which are included in investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows, resulting in a gain of 
$35.6  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.

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.

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.

NOTE 22: SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company's accounting policies derive segment results that are the same as those the CODM regularly reviews and uses to 
make decisions, allocate resources and assess performance. 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.

expenses of $16.1 inclusive of the mark-to-market impact on Diebold Nixdorf AG stock options and Acquisition integration expenses 
of $72.1 primarily within selling and administrative expense and purchase accounting pretax charges, which included deferred 
revenue of $30.4 and amortization of acquired intangibles of $128.4 and an increase in cost of sales of $1.9 related to measurement 
period adjustments of inventory. Net non-routine expense of $249.3 for the year ended December 31, 2016 was primarily due to 
the impact of purchase accounting adjustments of $128.6 primarily in cost of sales and legal, acquisition and divestiture related 
costs of $104.3 primarily within selling and administrative expense.

During 2017, the Company divested its legacy Diebold business in the U.K. to Cennox Group for $5.0, fulfilling the requirements 
previously set forth by the U.K. CMA. 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. In November 2016, the Inspur JV 
was formed and the Company did not have a significant gain or loss from the transaction. 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. In addition to the cash proceeds received, the Company recorded deferred 
payments of $44.7 for the divestiture of its Diebold Nixdorf AG China subsidiaries. The Diebold Nixdorf AG China sale was reflected 
in the opening balance sheet and no gain or loss was recorded. The Diebold Nixdorf AG China sale was in connection with the 
June 2016, Diebold Nixdorf AG announcement to establish a strategic alliance with Aisino Corporation, to position itself in China

to offer solutions that meet Chinese banking regulations. Aisino Corporation is a Chinese company that specializes in intelligent 
anti-forgery tax control systems, EFT, POS solutions, financial IC cards, bill receipt printing solutions and public IT security solutions. 
Following the closing of the transaction, the Company holds a noncontrolling interest in the Aisino JV of 43.6 percent. The Company 
includes the Aisino results of operations in equity in earnings of an investees included in other income (expense) of the consolidated 
statements of operations.

In February 2016, the Company finalized its divestiture of its wholly-owned ES subsidiary located in the U.S. and Canada for an 
aggregate purchase price of $350.0 in cash, 10.0 percent of which was contingent based on the successful transition of certain 
customer relationships. For ES to continue its growth, it would require resources and investment that Diebold Nixdorf was not 
committed to make given its focus on the self-service market. The Company received payment and recorded a pre-tax gain of 
$239.5 on the ES divestiture which was recognized during 2016. Cash flows provided or used by the NA ES business are presented 
as cash flows from discontinued operations for all of the periods presented. The results of operations, financial position and cash

During 2017, the Company incurred costs related to integration and restructuring, along with a full year of consolidated results 
from  the  Acquisition.  The  full  year  incremental  results  related  to  the  Acquisition  resulted  in  higher  net  sales  and  gross  profit 
throughout the year. In addition to these items, income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax included incremental interest 
expense related to higher average outstanding balances throughout the year offset by improve pricing, along with the impact of 
$81.7 from the Tax Act. This was offset by the cost reductions and synergies related to DN2020.

On February 1, 2016, the Company divested of its NA ES business resulting in a pre-tax gain of $239.5 during the first quarter. 
Income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax during the second half of 2016 was impacted by increased interest expense 
and deal-related costs in connection with the Acquisition of $97.2.

NOTE 26: SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR INFORMATION

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

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

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

the 2024 Senior Notes;

(iii) Non-guarantor subsidiaries, on a combined basis;

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

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

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

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

The Company has reclassified certain assets and liabilities from its non-guarantor subsidiaries to the Parent Company as a result 
of a common control control transaction in connection with the Company's integration efforts of the Acquisition to optimize its

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

Not 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.
