Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated Issues Adjusted 2017 Financial Outlook
Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated / Key word(s): Change in Forecast Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated Public Disclosure of Inside Information pursuant to Article 17 MAR Diebold Nixdorf Issues Adjusted 2017 Financial Outlook July 5, 2017 – North Canton, Ohio, United States of America – Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated (the “Company“) today announced it is adjusting its full-year financial outlook for 2017. Full-year revenue is now expected to be in the range of $4.7 billion to $4.8 billion. Earnings per share on a GAAP basis is now expected to be in the range of $(1.65)-$(1.45), or $0.95-$1.15 on a non-GAAP basis. The Company is in the process of closing its books for the second quarter 2017, and expects orders, revenue and adjusted EBITDA in the period to be comparable with first quarter results. As previously disclosed, the Company’s banking business is increasingly made up of large, complex projects with higher software content, resulting in a longer customer decision-making process and order-to-revenue conversion cycle. As a result, the timing and volume of orders to date leads the Company to adjust its 2017 guidance. In addition, the delay in systems rollouts also has a negative impact on the Company’s service business. This change in volume, combined with investments in hiring and training in the service organization as part of the Company’s transformation, will pressure near-term margins. The Company plans to take further steps to accelerate its cost reductions. On that basis the Company increases its DN2020 net savings target to $240 million.
(1) – The Company expects a non-GAAP effective tax rate of approximately 30% for the full year. With respect to the Company’s non-GAAP tax rate outlook for 2017, the Company is not providing the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure and, with respect to the Company’s non-GAAP tax rate and adjusted EBITDA outlook for 2017, the Company is not providing corresponding reconciliations because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty those items that may affect such measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP without unreasonable effort. These measures exclude the future impact of restructuring actions, net non-routine items, acquisition, divestiture and integration related expenses and purchase accounting fair value adjustments. These reconciling items are uncertain, depend on various factors and could significantly impact, either individually or in the aggregate, our future period tax rate calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Please see “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information regarding our use of non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Information To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company considers certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, including non-GAAP results, adjusted diluted earnings per share, free cash flow/(use), net investment/(debt), EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP effective tax rate and constant currency results. The Company calculates constant currency by translating the prior year results at the current year exchange rate. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to evaluate our operating and financial performance and to compare such performance to that of prior periods and to the performance of our competitors. Also, the Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making operational and financial decisions and in establishing operational goals. The Company also believes providing these non-GAAP financial measures to investors, as a supplement to GAAP financial measures, helps investors evaluate our operating and financial performance and trends in our business, consistent with how management evaluates such performance and trends. The Company also believes these non-GAAP financial measures may be useful to investors in comparing its performance to the performance of other companies, although its non-GAAP financial measures are specific to the Company and the non-GAAP financial measures of other companies may not be calculated in the same manner. We provide EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we believe that investors and securities analysts will find EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to be useful measures for evaluating our operating performance and comparing our operating performance with that of similar companies that have different capital structures and for evaluating our ability to meet our future debt service, capital expenditures, and working capital requirements. We are also providing EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA in light of issuance of our credit agreement and 8.5% senior notes due 2024. For more information, please refer to the section, “Notes for Non-GAAP Measures”.
