Completion of NCR Atleos Spin-Off Transaction

On October 16, 2023, the Company completed the spin-off (“Spin-Off”) of its ATM-focused businesses, including the self-service banking, payments & network and telecommunications and technology businesses, into an independent, publicly traded company, NCR Atleos, on a tax-free basis. Accordingly, the historical financial results of NCR Atleos are reflected as discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 2, “Discontinued Operations”, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of Part II of this Report, for additional information.

Sale of Digital Banking Business

On September 30, 2024, the Company completed the sale of its Digital Banking segment businesses (the “Digital Banking Sale”) to an affiliate of The Veritas Capital Fund VIII, L.P. (the “Buyer”). The purchase price for the transaction was $2.45 billion in cash, subject to a post-closing adjustment, as well as contingent consideration of up to an additional $100 million in cash upon the achievement of a specified return on the Buyer’s invested capital at the time of any future sale. The accounting requirements for reporting the sale of Digital Banking as a discontinued operation were met when the definitive agreement was signed on August 6, 2024. Accordingly, the financial results for Digital Banking are reflected as discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 2, “Discontinued Operations”, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of Part II of this Report, for additional information.

Transition of Hardware Business to ODM Model

On August 6, 2024, the Company announced its entry into a commercial agreement with Ennoconn Corporation (“Ennoconn”) to transition its self-checkout and point-of-sale hardware businesses to an outsourced design and manufacturing model including the sale of certain assets relating to these businesses (the “Hardware Business Transition”). Under the terms of the agreement, Ennoconn will design, manufacture, warrant, supply, and ship self-checkout and point-of sale hardware directly to the Company’s customers and the Company will sell hardware to its customers as a sales agent for Ennoconn and continue to provide its point-of sale and self-checkout software as well as key support and maintenance services. As a result of the Hardware Business Transition, the Company will record commission revenue from point-of-sale and self-checkout hardware sales as an agent for Ennoconn on a net basis, excluding the costs paid to Ennoconn. The Company expects the Hardware Business Transition to become effective during 2025.

Ongoing Business Trends

Retail and Restaurants

The global retail and restaurant technology landscape is characterized by rapid advancement and evolution. As a result, competition continues to intensify in these industries. Business and consumer expectations are high, with a focus on speed, convenience, choice and security. To meet these expectations, software and payments companies are focused on investing in their technology, expanding the use of data and enhancing the customer experience.

NCR Voyix serves customers of all sizes, from small- and medium-sized to large, blue-chip companies that represent some of the world’s leading consumer brands. The restaurant and retail industry are facing a similar challenge of differentiating their customers’ experiences to win in the markets they serve. Creating differentiated experiences depends upon complex technology and services. The Company’s portfolio for its Retail and Restaurant segments will start with the point-of-sale as the core for all transaction data, inventory data, customer data, pricing and promotions. Modernizing the point-of-sale and connecting to our commerce platform is the critical path for technology modernization and enhanced offerings in our segments. As we transition customers from legacy technology solutions to a modern cloud-based software platform, we provide end-to-end capabilities to simplify their technology infrastructure and more effectively run their store or restaurant.

NCR Voyix’s platform-driven technology is comprised largely of a SaaS- and Services-based model and marks a shift from the largely hardware-driven business model of the past. This business model enables NCR Voyix to better serve customers by providing a breadth of purpose-built solutions that are tailored to the unique needs of our Retail and Restaurant customers.

Cyber Ransomware Incident

As previously disclosed, in April 2023 the Company determined that a single data center outage impacting certain of its commerce customers was caused by a cyber ransomware incident. Following investigation, the Company concluded that the incident impacted operations for some customers only with respect to specific Aloha cloud-based services and Counterpoint. Functionality was fully restored to all impacted customers, and we built a new cloud environment to host the affected applications.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company has incurred $47 million of expenses related to the cyber ransomware incident and has recovered $36 million under our insurance policies.

For further information see Item 1C “Cybersecurity” of this Form 10-K.

Out-of-period Adjustments

In the first quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a $10 million out-of-period adjustment to increase operating expenses and an employee-related liability in order to correct for an understatement of such same balances during the fourth quarter of 2022.

In the second quarter of 2024, the Company recorded an out-of-period correction to decrease revenue by $10 million, decrease accounts receivable by $5 million, and increase contract liabilities by $5 million. The amount related to periods prior to 2024 was $4 million of revenue.

During the third quarter of 2024, the Company recorded an out-of-period correction related to foreign currency to increase other expense, net by approximately $8 million, increase other current liabilities by approximately $4 million and increase accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) by approximately $4 million. The amount related to 2023 was $2 million of other expense, net.

During 2024, the Company recorded corrections related to the Spin-Off. As of December 31, 2023, total assets were understated by approximately $9 million, total liabilities were overstated by approximately $7 million and total equity was understated by approximately $16 million, which is included in the “Spin-Off of NCR Atleos” line in the Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit).

The Company evaluated the impact of the out-of-period adjustments and concluded they are not material to the consolidated financial statements for any of the periods presented.

ACH Disbursements

In February 2024, the Company identified fraudulent automated clearing house “ACH” disbursements from a Company bank account. The cumulative amount of these disbursements total $34 million, and during year ended December 31, 2024, we recovered $16 million related to this matter. The Company is pursuing insurance recoveries in connection with this matter; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in recovering additional amounts of the unauthorized ACH disbursements from the Company’s insurance providers. Although not materially impacting any previously reported periods, the misstatements resulted in the revision of interim periods in 2023.
