NCR Voyix Corp

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business NCR Voyix Corporation (“NCR Voyix”, “NCR”, the “Company”, “we” or “us”), which, prior to its name change effective October 13, 2023 was known as NCR Corporation, was originally incorporated in 1884 and is a software and services-led enterprise technology provider of run-the-store capabilities for retail and restaurants, serving businesses of all sizes. Our platform, which runs in the cloud and includes microservices and application programming interfaces (“APIs”) that integrate with our customers’ systems, combines with our services and hardware offerings to enable end-to-end technology-based capabilities for our customers. Our offerings include cloud-based software and services offerings for retailers and restaurants, as well as payments acceptance solutions, multi-vendor connected device services, self-checkout (“SCO”) kiosks and related technologies, point of sale (“POS”) terminals and other self-service technologies. Our solutions are designed to enable retailers and restaurants to seamlessly transact and engage with their customers and end users.

Spin-off of NCR Atleos On October 16, 2023, the Company completed the separation of its ATM-focused business, including its self-service banking, payments & network and telecommunications and technology businesses, through the spin-off of its wholly owned subsidiary, NCR Atleos Corporation (“NCR Atleos”), (the “Spin-Off”). The Spin-Off was effected through a pro rata distribution of all outstanding shares of NCR Atleos common stock to holders of NCR Voyix common stock as of the close of business on October 2, 2023 (the “record date”). The Company distributed one share of NCR Atleos common stock for every two common shares of NCR Voyix outstanding as of the record date. Shareholders received cash in lieu of fractional shares of Atleos common stock. The Spin-Off is expected to qualify as a tax-free distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Company retains no ownership interest in NCR Atleos. The accounting requirements for reporting the Spin-Off of NCR Atleos as a discontinued operation were met when the separation was completed. Accordingly, the financial results for NCR Atleos for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 are presented as net income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and its assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2023 are reclassified as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to Note 2, “Discontinued Operations” for additional information.

In connection with the Spin-Off, the Company and NCR Atleos entered into various agreements to effect the Spin-Off and provide a framework for the relationship between the Company and NCR Atleos after the Spin-Off. Such agreements include the separation and distribution agreement, as well as the following ongoing agreements: a transition services agreement, tax matters agreement, employee matters agreement, patent and technology cross-license agreement, trademark license and use agreement, master services agreement and various other transaction agreements. Under these agreements, the Company continues to provide certain products and services to NCR Atleos and receives certain products and services from NCR Atleos following the Spin-Off.

Sale of Digital Banking On August 6, 2024, the Company entered into a definitive purchase agreement with an affiliate of The Veritas Capital Fund VIII, L.P. (the “Buyer”) pursuant to which the Buyer agreed to purchase the Company’s Digital Banking segment businesses (the “Digital Banking Sale”). On September 30, 2024, the Company completed the Digital Banking Sale pursuant to the purchase agreement. 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 Company records contingent consideration at fair value based on the consideration expected to be transferred, which was estimated to be zero as of December 31, 2024. The accounting requirements for reporting the Digital Banking Sale as a discontinued operation were met when the definitive agreement was signed. Accordingly, the financial results for Digital Banking for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 are presented as net income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Refer to Note 2, “Discontinued Operations” for additional information. In connection with the Digital Banking Sale, the Company and the Buyer entered into certain agreements, including a transition services agreement, providing for the performance of certain services by the Company for the benefit of the Buyer for a period of time after the Digital Banking Sale.

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 anticipated Hardware Business Transition, the Company expects to 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.

Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenue and expenses during the periods reported.

Although our estimates contemplate current and expected future conditions, as applicable, it is reasonably possible that actual conditions could differ from our expectations, which could materially affect our results of operations and financial position. In particular, a number of estimates have been and will continue to be affected by macroeconomic pressures and geopolitical challenges. The ultimate impact on our overall financial condition and operating results will depend on supply chain challenges and cost escalations including materials, interest, labor and freight, and any additional governmental and public actions taken in response. As a result, our accounting estimates and assumptions may change over time as a consequence of the effects these external factors. Such changes could result in future impairments of goodwill, intangible assets, long-lived assets, incremental credit losses on accounts receivable and decreases in the carrying amount of our tax assets.

Evaluation of Subsequent Events The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date that our Consolidated Financial Statements were issued. Other than the items discussed within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, no matters were identified that required adjustment of the Consolidated Financial Statements or additional disclosure.

Basis of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NCR Voyix and its majority-owned subsidiaries. Long-term investments in affiliated companies in which NCR Voyix owns between 20% and 50%, and therefore, exercises significant influence, but which it does not control, are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in which NCR Voyix does not exercise significant influence (generally, when the Company has an investment of less than 20% and no significant influence, such as representation on the investee’s board of directors) are accounted for using the cost method. All significant inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated. In addition, the Company is required to determine whether it is the primary beneficiary of economic income or losses that may be generated by variable interest entities in which the Company has such an interest. In circumstances where the Company determined it is the primary beneficiary, consolidation of that entity would be required. For the periods presented, no variable interest entities have been consolidated.

Cyber ransomware incident On April 13, 2023, the Company determined that a single data center outage impacting certain of its commerce customers was caused by a cyber ransomware incident. Upon such determination, the Company immediately started contacting customers, enacted its cybersecurity protocol and engaged outside experts to contain the incident and begin the recovery process. We concluded that this incident impacted operations for some customers only with respect to specific Aloha cloud-based services and Counterpoint. Our investigation also concluded no financial reporting systems were impacted. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has incurred $47 million of expenses related to the cyber ransomware incident and has recovered $36 million of these costs under our insurance policies. We are still pursuing insurance recoveries in connection with this matter. We may incur additional costs relating to this incident in the future, including expenses to respond to this matter, payment of damages or other costs to customers or others. At this time we do not believe additional costs incurred as a result of the incident will ultimately have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition; however, we remain subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the incident.

Reclassifications Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto in order to conform to the current period presentation.

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. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has recovered approximately $16 million of fraudulent disbursements from the Company’s banks and continues to pursue insurance recoveries in connection with this matter. The amount of these disbursements through December 31, 2023 was $23 million. Through September 30, 2023, the Company had incorrectly recorded approximately $11 million in an accounts receivable clearing account instead of as operating expenses, of which approximately $2 million related to annual periods prior to 2023. As a result, in the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a $2 million out-of-period adjustment to increase operating expenses and decrease accounts receivable in order to correct for the errors.

The Company evaluated the impact of the errors and out-of-period adjustments and concluded they are not material to any previously issued consolidated financial statements and the correction of the errors is not material to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Revenue Recognition The Company records revenue, net of sales tax, when the following five steps have been completed:

•Identification of the contract(s) with a customer

•Identification of the performance obligation(s) in the contract

•Determination of the transaction price

•Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

•Recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy performance obligations

The Company records revenue when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of a promised good or service to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for products and services. The Company evaluates the transfer of control primarily from the customer’s perspective where the customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from that good or service. The Company does not adjust the transaction price for taxes collected from customers, as those amounts are netted against amounts remitted to government authorities.

The Company enters contracts that include multiple distinct performance obligations, including hardware, software, professional consulting and managed services, payment processing services, installation services and maintenance support services. A promise to a customer is considered distinct when the product or service is both capable of being distinct, and distinct in the context of the contract. For these arrangements, the Company allocates the transaction price, at contract inception, to each distinct performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis. The primary method used to estimate standalone selling price is the price that the Company charges for that good or service when the Company sells it separately in similar circumstances to similar customers.

For hardware products, control is generally transferred when the customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits of the products, which generally coincides with when the customer has assumed title and risk of loss of the goods sold. In certain instances, customer acceptance is required prior to the passage of title and risk of loss of the delivered products. In such cases, revenue is not recognized until the customer acceptance is obtained. Delivery, acceptance, and transfer of title and risk of loss generally occur in the same reporting period. The Company’s customers may request that delivery and passage of title and risk of loss occur on a bill and hold basis. For the periods ending December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, the revenue recognized from bill and hold transactions approximated less than 2% of total revenue, respectively. Hardware products may also be included in an As-a-service package and sold in a bundle with managed services. In these packages, title to the hardware is not transferred to the customer and revenue is recognized in consideration of lease accounting standards, depending on the terms and conditions in the contract. Most hardware leases embedded in our As-a- service contracts qualify for classification as operating leases. Revenue from the hardware operating leases in an As-a-service package is recognized over the term of the contract, which is the same pattern and timing as the services in the contract.

Software products may be sold as perpetual licenses, term-based licenses, cloud-enabled and software as a service (“SaaS”). Perpetual license revenue is recognized at a point in time when control transfers to the customer and is reported within product revenue. Control is typically transferred when the customer takes possession of, or has access to, the software. Term-based license revenue is recognized at a point in time upon the commencement of the committed term of the contract, concurrent with the possession of the license, and reported within product revenue. The committed term of the contract is typicallyone month toone year due to customer termination rights. If the amount of consideration the Company expects to be paid in exchange for the licenses depends on customer usage, revenue is recognized when the usage occurs.

SaaS primarily consists of fees to provide our customers access to our platform and cloud-based applications for a specified contract term. Revenue from SaaS contracts is recognized as variable consideration directly allocated based on customer usage or on a ratable basis over the contract term beginning on the date that our service is made available to the customer. SaaS is reported as part of our services revenue.

The Company sells some product solutions that include a combination of cloud-enabled and on-premise term-based software licenses for a specified contract term. Significant judgment is required to determine if the products and services represent distinct promises to the customer or if they should be combined into one performance obligation. When they are combined into one performance obligation, revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term for which the service is provided.

In addition to SaaS, our services revenue includes professional consulting, payment processing revenue, managed services, installation and maintenance support. Professional consulting primarily consists of software implementation, integration, customization and optimization services. Revenue from professional consulting contracts is recognized when the services are completed or customer acceptance of the service is received, if required. For installation and maintenance, control is transferred as the services are provided or ratably over the service period, or, if applicable, after customer acceptance of the service. For recurring services that we perform over a contract term, we analyze if the services are performed evenly throughout the term for fixed consideration. If so, we ratably recognize the corresponding consideration over the committed term. Otherwise, we apply the ‘as invoiced’ practical expedient, for performance obligations satisfied over time, if the amount we may invoice corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance to date. This expedient permits us to recognize revenue in the amount we invoice the customer.

Payment processing revenue includes surcharge and other fees paid by cardholders and/or the cardholder’s financial institutions for the use of processing services. Surcharge revenues are recognized daily as the associated transactions are processed. Relative to credit card processing, revenue is comprised of fees charged to the Company’s customers, net of interchange fees and assessments charged by the credit card associations and payment networks, which are pass-through charges collected on behalf of the card issuers and payment networks.

Under our managed service agreements, the Company provides various forms of services, including customer service, processing and other services, under one contract package. The Company typically receives a monthly service fee, fee per transaction, or fee per service provided in return for providing the agreed-upon services. The managed services fees are recognized as the related services are provided to the customers.

The nature of our arrangements gives rise to several types of variable consideration including service level agreement credits, stock rotation rights, trade-in credits and volume-based rebates. At contract inception, we include this variable consideration in our transaction price when there is a basis to reasonably estimate the amount of the fee and it is probable there will not be a significant reversal. These estimates are generally made using the expected value method and a portfolio approach, based on historical experience, anticipated performance and our best judgment at the time. These estimates are reassessed at each reporting date. Because of our confidence in estimating these amounts, they are included in the transaction price of our contracts and the associated remaining performance obligations.

Payment terms with our customers are established based on industry and regional practices and generally do not exceed 30 days. We do not typically include extended payment terms in our contracts with customers. As a practical expedient, we do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when we expect, at contract inception, that the period between our transfer of a promised product or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that product or service will be one year or less. If the period between transfer of the promised product or service and payment is more than one year, the Company analyzes whether a significant financing component is present. If so, the Company adjusts the total consideration to reflect the significant financing component.

We account for shipping and handling activities related to contracts with customers as costs to fulfill our promise to transfer the associated products, rather than as a separate performance obligation. Accordingly, we record amounts billed for shipping and handling costs as a component of net product sales, and classify such costs as a component of cost of products.

In addition to the standard product warranty, the Company periodically offers extended warranties to its customers in the form of product maintenance services. For maintenance contracts that have been combined with product contracts under the revenue guidance, the Company defers revenue at an amount based on the relative standalone selling price allocation, and recognizes the deferred revenue over the service term. For non-combined maintenance contracts, the Company defers the stated amount of the separately priced service and recognizes the deferred revenue over the service term.

Remaining Performance Obligations Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of contracts for which products have not been delivered or services have not been performed. As of December 31, 2024, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was approximately $1.1 billion. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately three-quarters of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, with the remainder recognized thereafter. The majority of our professional services are expected to be recognized over the next 12 months but this is contingent upon a number of factors, including customers’ needs and schedules.

The Company has made three elections which affect the value of remaining performance obligations described above. We do not disclose remaining performance obligations for contracts where variable consideration is directly allocated based on usage or when the original expected duration is one year or less. Additionally, we do not disclose remaining performance obligations for contracts where we recognize revenue from the satisfaction of the performance obligation in accordance with the ‘right to invoice’ practical expedient.

Warranty and Sales Returns Provisions for product warranties and sales returns and allowances are recorded in the period in which the Company becomes obligated to honor the related right, which generally is the period in which the related product revenue is recognized. The Company accrues warranty reserves based upon historical factors such as labor rates, average repair time, travel time, number of service calls per machine and cost of replacement parts. When a sale is consummated, a warranty reserve is recorded based upon the estimated cost to provide the service over the warranty period. The Company accrues sales returns and allowances using percentages of revenue to reflect the Company’s historical average of sales return claims.

Research and Development Costs Research and development costs primarily include payroll and benefit-related costs, contractor fees, facilities costs, infrastructure costs, and administrative expenses directly related to research and development support and are expensed as incurred, except certain software development costs are capitalized after technological feasibility of the software is established.

Advertising Advertising costs are recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses when incurred.

Stock-based Compensation Stock-based compensation represents the costs related to share-based awards granted to employees and non-employee directors. The Company’s outstanding stock-based compensation awards are classified as equity. The Company measures stock-based compensation cost at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award and recognizes the cost over the requisite service period. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur. See Note 9, “Stock Compensation Plans”, for further information on the Company’s stock-based compensation plans.

Income Taxes Income tax expense is provided based on income before income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of temporary differences between assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting purposes and such amounts recognized for tax purposes. These deferred taxes are determined based on the enacted tax rates expected to apply in the periods in which the deferred assets or liabilities are expected to be settled or realized. The Company records valuation allowances related to its deferred income tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized.

The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained upon examination by authorities. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recognized as part of the provision for income taxes and are accrued beginning in the period that such interest and penalties would be applicable under relevant tax law and until such time that the related tax benefits are recognized.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash All short-term, highly liquid investments having original maturities of three months or less, including time deposits, are considered to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company has restricted cash on deposit with a bank as collateral for letters of credit as well as cash included in settlement processing assets.

The reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows is as follows:

Supplemental cash flow information Interest paid in cash was $145 million, $365 million, and $268 million for fiscal years 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Income taxes paid in cash were$54 million, $92 million and $56 million for fiscal years 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Supplemental disclosures of noncash investing and financing activities During the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, we issued shares of the Company’s common stock and assumed unvested outstanding option awards in the acquisition of Moon Inc., dba LibertyX, for total non-cash consideration of $68 million. In connection with the acquisition, we also assumed debt of $2 million. Refer to Note 2, “Discontinued Operations”, for additional information on the LibertyX acquisition.

Accounts Receivable, net Accounts receivable, net includes amounts billed and currently due from customers as well as amounts unbilled that typically result from sales under contracts where revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer and where the Company has an unconditional right to consideration. The amounts due are stated at their net estimated realizable value.

The components of accounts receivable are summarized as follows:

Allowance for Credit Losses on Accounts Receivable Allowances for credit losses on accounts receivable are recognized when reasonable and supportable forecasts affect the expected collectability. This requires us to make our best estimate of the current expected losses inherent in our accounts receivable at each balance sheet date. These estimates require consideration of historical loss experience, adjusted for current conditions, forward looking indicators, trends in customer payment frequency and judgments about the probable effects of relevant observable data, including present and future economic conditions and the financial health of specific customers and market sectors. This policy is applied consistently among all of our operating segments. We continue to evaluate our reserves in light of the age and quality of our outstanding accounts receivable and risks to specific industries or countries and adjust the reserves accordingly.

Our allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $26 million and $29 million, respectively. For the year ending December 31, 2024, our allowance for credit losses charged to expense was $15 million. The

Company recorded $18 million of write-offs against the reserve for the year ended December 31, 2024. For the year ending December 31, 2023, our allowance for credit losses charged to expense was $26 million and the Company recorded $15 million of write-offs against the reserve.

Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using the average cost method. Cost includes materials, labor and manufacturing overhead related to the purchase and production of inventories. Service parts are included in inventories and include reworkable and non-reworkable service parts. The Company regularly reviews inventory quantities on hand, future purchase commitments with suppliers and the estimated utility of inventory. If the review indicates a reduction in utility below carrying value, inventory is reduced to a new cost basis. Excess and obsolete write-offs are established based on forecasted usage, orders, technological obsolescence and inventory aging.

Contract Assets and Liabilities Contract assets include unbilled amounts where the right to payment is not solely subject to the passage of time. Amounts may not exceed their net realizable value. Contract liabilities consist of advance payments, billings in excess of revenue recognized and deferred revenue.

Our contract assets and liabilities are reported in a net position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. If the net position is a contract asset, the current portion is included in Prepaid and other current assets and the non-current portion is included in Other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. If the net position is a contract liability, the current portion is included in Contract liabilities and the non-current portion is included in Other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, no contracts were in a net asset position.

The following table presents the net contract asset and contract liability balances:

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 the Company recognized $144 million, $118 million, and $127 million, respectively, in revenue that was included in contract liabilities as of December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

Deferred Commissions Our incremental costs of obtaining a contract, which consist of certain sales commissions, primarily for our SaaS revenue, are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of expected benefit. We determined the period of expected benefit by taking into consideration customer contracts, the estimated life of the customer relationship, including renewals when the renewal commission is not commensurate with the initial commission, the expected life of the underlying technology and other factors. We classify deferred commissions as current or non-current based on the timing of when we expect to recognize the expense. The current and non-current portions of deferred commissions are included in Prepaid and other current assets and Other assets, respectively, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amortization of deferred commissions is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Settlement Processing Assets and Obligations Funds settlement refers to the process of transferring funds for sales and credits between card issuers and merchants. Depending on the type of transaction, either the credit card interchange system or the debit network is used to transfer the information and funds in either direction between the sponsoring bank and card issuing bank to complete the link between merchants and card issuers. In certain of our processing arrangements, merchant funding occurs after the sponsoring bank or the Company receives the funds from the card issuer through the card networks, creating a settlement obligation to the merchant on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. In a limited number of other arrangements, the sponsoring bank funds the merchants before it receives the net settlement funds from the card networks, creating a settlement asset on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. Additionally, relative to credit card transactions, the Company’s sponsoring bank collects the gross revenue from the merchants, pays the interchange fees and assessments to the credit card associations, collects its fees for processing and pays the Company a net residual payment representing the Company’s fees for the services. In these instances, the Company does not reflect the related settlement processing assets and obligations in its Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Settlement processing assets consist of settlement assets due from customers and receivables from merchants corresponding to the discount fee related to reimbursement of the interchange expense, our receivables from the processing bank or Electronic Funds Transfer (“EFT”) network for transactions that have occurred and have been funded to merchants in advance of receipt of card association funding, restricted cash balances that are not yet due to merchants, merchant reserves held, sponsoring bank reserves and exception items, such as customer chargeback amounts receivable from merchants. Settlement processing obligations consist primarily of merchant reserves, our liability to the processing bank or merchant for transactions for which we have received funding from the members or networks but have not funded merchants as well as certain exception items. Settlement processing assets other than restricted cash are recorded within Prepaid and other current assets and settlement processing liabilities are recorded within Settlement liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Cash related to settlement processing is recorded within Restricted cash in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, settlement processing assets were $50 million and $46 million, respectively, and settlement processing liabilities were $47 million and $39 million, respectively. Settlement receivables are generally collected within four business days. Settlement obligations are generally paid within three business days, regardless of when the related settlement receivables are collected.

Capitalized Software Certain direct development costs associated with internal-use software are capitalized within Other assets and amortized over the estimated useful lives of the resulting software. The Company typically amortizes capitalized internal-use software on a straight-line basis over four toseven years beginning when the asset is substantially ready for use, as this is considered to approximate the usage pattern of the software. When it becomes probable that internal-use software being developed will not be completed or placed into service, the internal-use software is reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value.

Costs incurred for the development of software that will be sold, leased or otherwise marketed are capitalized when technological feasibility has been established. These costs are included within Other assets and are amortized on a sum-of-the-years’ digits or straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives ranging from three tofive years, using the method that most closely approximates the sales pattern of the software. Amortization begins when the product is available for general release. Costs capitalized include direct labor and related overhead costs. Costs incurred prior to technological feasibility or after general release are expensed as incurred. The Company performs periodic reviews to ensure that unamortized program costs remain recoverable from future revenue. If future revenue does not support the unamortized program costs, the amount by which the unamortized capitalized cost of a software product exceeds the net realizable value is written off.

The following table identifies the activity relating to total capitalized software:

During the year ended December 31, 2023, other adjustments includes the write-off of certain capitalized software related to the divested business. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded the write-off of certain internal and external-use software capitalization projects that are no longer considered strategic and as a result, the projects have been abandoned.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill is tested at the reporting unit level for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter or more frequently if certain events occur indicating that the carrying value of goodwill may be impaired. A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred. Such indicators may include a decline in expected cash flows, a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, a decision to sell a business, unanticipated competition, or slower growth rates, among others. Consistent with the examples of such events and circumstances given in the accounting guidance, we believe that a goodwill impairment test should be performed immediately before and after a reorganization of our reporting structure when the reorganization would affect the composition of one or more of our reporting units. In this circumstance, performing the impairment test immediately before and after the reorganization would help to confirm that the reorganization is not potentially masking a goodwill impairment charge.

In the evaluation of goodwill for impairment, we have the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary or to perform a quantitative assessment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. Under the qualitative assessment, an entity is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. If, under the quantitative assessment, the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the amount of the impairment loss, if any, is determined based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value up to the total value of goodwill assigned to the reporting unit. Fair values of the reporting units are estimated using a weighted methodology considering the output from both the income and market approaches. The income approach incorporates the use of discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis. A number of significant assumptions and estimates are involved in the application of the DCF model to forecast operating cash flows, including revenue growth rates, EBITDA margins and discount rates. Several of these assumptions vary among reporting units. The cash flow forecasts are generally based on approved strategic operating plans. The market approach is performed using the Guideline Public Companies (“GPC”) method which is based on earnings multiple data. We perform a reconciliation between our market capitalization and our estimate of the aggregate fair value of the reporting units, including consideration of a control premium. Refer to Note 4, “Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets”, for further discussion.

Acquired intangible assets other than goodwill are amortized over their weighted average amortization period unless they are determined to be indefinite. Acquired intangible assets are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization. For intangible assets purchased in a business combination, the estimated fair values of the assets received are used to establish the carrying value. The fair value of acquired intangible assets is determined using common techniques, and the Company employs assumptions developed using the perspective of a market participant. The Company makes judgments about the recoverability of intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that impairment may exist. If such facts and circumstances exist, the Company assesses the recoverability by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their remaining lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairments, if any, are based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. If the useful life is shorter than originally estimated, the Company would accelerate the rate of amortization and amortize the remaining carrying value over the new shorter useful life. For further discussion of identified intangible assets, see Note 4, “Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets”.

Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful lives of the related assets primarily on a straight-line basis. Machinery and other equipment are depreciated over 3 to 20 years and buildings over 25 to 45 years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the life of the lease or the asset, whichever is shorter. Assets classified as held for sale are not depreciated. Upon retirement or disposition of property, plant and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the Company’s accounts, and a gain or loss is recorded. Depreciation expense related to property, plant and equipment was $55 million for each of the years ending December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets such as property, plant and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable or in the period in which the held for sale criteria are met. For assets held and used, this analysis consists of comparing the asset’s carrying value to the expected future cash flows to be generated from the asset on an undiscounted basis. If the carrying amount of the asset is determined not to be recoverable, a write-down to fair value is recorded. Fair values are determined based on quoted market values, discounted cash flows, or external appraisals, as applicable. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment at the individual asset or the asset group level for which the lowest level of independent cash flows can be identified. Refer to Note 4, “Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets”, for further discussion.

Leasing The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at the inception of the arrangement based on the terms and conditions in the contract. A contract contains a lease if there is an identified asset and the Company has the right to control the asset.

Lessee We lease property, vehicles and equipment under operating and financing leases. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, we record the related asset and obligation at the present value of lease payments over the term. We determine the lease term by assuming the exercise of renewal options that are reasonably certain. Leases with a lease term of 12 months or less at inception are not recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheet and are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term in our Consolidated Statement of Operations. Our leases may include rental escalation clauses, renewal options and/or termination options that are factored into our determination of lease payments when appropriate. When available, we use the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, most of our leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, we must estimate our incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement. Our incremental borrowing rate is based on a credit-adjusted risk-free rate at commencement date, which best approximates a secured rate over a similar term of lease. Additionally, we do not separate lease and non-lease components for any asset classes, except for those leases embedded in certain service arrangements. Fixed and in-substance fixed payments are included in the recognition of the operating and financing assets and lease liabilities, however, variable lease payments, other than those based on a rate or index, are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. The Company’s variable lease payments generally relate to payments tied to various indices, non-lease components and payments above a contractual minimum fixed payment.

Lessor We have various arrangements for certain point-of-sale equipment under which we are the lessor. These leases meet the criteria for operating lease classification. Lease income associated with these leases is not material.

Pension and Postemployment Benefits The Company has significant pension and postemployment benefit costs, which are developed from actuarial valuations. Actuarial assumptions are established to anticipate future events and are used in calculating the expense and liabilities relating to these plans. These factors include assumptions the Company makes about interest rates, expected investment return on plan assets, rate of increase in healthcare costs, involuntary turnover rates, and rates of future compensation increases. In addition, the Company also uses subjective factors, such as withdrawal rates and mortality rates to develop the Company’s valuations. The Company generally reviews and updates these assumptions on an annual basis. The Company is required to consider current market conditions, including changes in interest rates, in making these assumptions. The actuarial assumptions that the Company uses may differ materially from actual results due to changing market and economic conditions, higher or lower withdrawal rates, or longer or shorter life spans of participants. These differences may result in a significant impact to the amount of pension or postemployment benefits expense, and the related assets and liabilities, the Company has recorded or may record.

Environmental and Legal Contingencies In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to various proceedings, lawsuits, claims and other matters, including, for example, those that relate to the environment and health and safety, labor and employment, employee benefits, import/export compliance, intellectual property, data privacy and security, product liability, commercial disputes and regulatory compliance, among others. Additionally, the Company is subject to diverse and complex laws, regulations, and standards including those relating to corporate governance, public disclosure and reporting, environmental safety and the discharge of materials into the environment, product safety, import and export compliance, data privacy and security, antitrust and competition, government contracting, anti-corruption, and labor and human resources, which are rapidly changing and subject to many possible changes in the future. Compliance with these laws and regulations, as well as changes in accounting standards, taxation requirements, and federal securities laws, among others, may create a substantial burden on, and substantially increase the costs to the Company or could have an impact on the Company’s future operating results. The Company believes that the amounts provided in its Consolidated Financial Statements are adequate. However, there can be no assurances that the actual amounts required to satisfy alleged liabilities from various lawsuits, claims, legal proceedings and other matters, including the Fox River and Kalamazoo River environmental matters discussed in Note 11, “Commitments and Contingencies”, and to comply with applicable laws and regulations, will not exceed the amounts reflected in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements or will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. Any costs that may be incurred in excess of those amounts provided as of December 31, 2024 cannot currently be reasonably determined or are not currently considered probable. The costs and insurance recoveries relating to certain environmental obligations associated with discontinued operations, including those relating to the Fox River, Kalamazoo River and Ebina matters, are presented in Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Legal fees and expenses related to loss contingencies are typically expensed as incurred, except for certain costs associated with the Company’s environmental remediation obligations. Costs and fees associated with litigating the extent and type of required remedial actions and the allocation of remediation costs among potentially responsible parties are typically included in the measurement of the environmental remediation liabilities.

Foreign Currency For many of the Company’s international operations, the local currency is designated as the functional currency. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars at year-end exchange rates, and revenue and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Currency translation adjustments from local functional currency countries resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates are recorded in Other comprehensive income. Remeasurement adjustments are recorded in Other income (expense), net.

Repurchase of Common Stock The Company applies the par value method of accounting for repurchases of common stock. In March 2017, the Board approved a share repurchase program, with no expiration from the date of authorization, that provided for the repurchase of up to $300 million of the Company’s common stock (the “Repurchase Program”). In July 2018, the Board authorized an incremental $200 million of share repurchases under the Repurchase Program. The Company has repurchased $56 million through December 31, 2024 under the Repurchase Program. An additional $44 million was repurchased in January and February 2025 under the Repurchase Program.

Derivative Instruments In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments. The Company accounts for derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value and recognizes the resulting gains or losses as adjustments to earnings or other comprehensive income. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, the Company formally documents the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Hedging activities are transacted only with highly rated institutions, reducing exposure to credit risk in the event of nonperformance. Additionally, the Company completes assessments related to the risk of counterparty nonperformance on a regular basis.

The accounting for changes in fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship, and further, on the type of hedging relationship. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, the Company has designated the hedging instrument, based on the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. For derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges, the effective portion of the hedge is recorded as an offset to the change in the fair value of the hedged item, and the ineffective portion of the hedge, if any, is recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. For derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges and determined to be highly effective, the gains or losses are deferred in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and recognized in the determination of income as adjustments of carrying amounts when the underlying hedged transaction is realized, canceled or otherwise terminated. When hedging certain foreign currency transactions of a long-term investment nature (net investments in foreign operations), gains and losses are recorded in the currency translation adjustment component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss. Gains and losses on foreign exchange contracts that are not used to hedge currency transactions of a long-term investment nature, or that are not designated as cash flow or fair value hedges, are recognized in Other income (expense), net as exchange rates change.

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing an amount that would be received to sell an asset or the amount paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the accounting guidance prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into the following three-tier fair value hierarchy:

•Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

•Level 2: 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

Assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. The Company reviews the fair value hierarchy classification on a quarterly basis. Changes to the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of levels for certain securities within the fair value hierarchy.

The Company measures its financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value based on one or more of the following three valuation techniques:

•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 (including present value techniques, option pricing and excess earnings models).

We regularly review our investments to determine whether a decline in fair value, if any, below the cost basis is other than temporary. If the decline in the fair value is determined to be other than temporary, the cost basis of the security is written down to fair value and the amount of the write-down is included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. For qualifying investments in debt or equity securities, a temporary impairment charge would be recognized in Other comprehensive income (loss).

5. SEGMENT INFORMATION AND CONCENTRATIONS

Subsequent to the Digital Banking Sale and the Spin-Off, as described in Note 1, “Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies”, the Company manages and reports the following segments:

•Retail - We offer software-led solutions to customers in the retail industry, leading with digital to connect retail operations end to end to integrate all aspects of a customer’s operations in indoor and outdoor settings from POS, to payments, inventory management, fraud and loss prevention applications, loyalty and consumer engagement. These solutions include retail-oriented technologies such as comprehensive API-point of sale retail software platforms and applications, hardware terminals, self-service kiosks including self-checkout (“SCO”), payment processing and merchant acquiring solutions, and bar-code scanners.

•Restaurants - We offer technology solutions to customers in the restaurant industry, including table-service, quick-service and fast casual restaurants of all sizes, that are designed to improve operational efficiency, increase customer satisfaction, streamline order and transaction processing and reduce operating costs. Our solutions include POS hardware and software solutions, payment processing and merchant acquiring services, installation, maintenance, as well as managed and professional services.

Corporate and Other includes income and expenses related to corporate functions that are not specifically attributable to any of ourtwo individual reportable segments. In addition, Corporate and Other includes certain non-strategic businesses that are considered immaterial operating segment(s) and certain legacy ATM operations in foreign countries that are expected to transfer to NCR Atleos in 2025, as well as commercial agreements with NCR Atleos.

These segments represent components of the Company for which separate financial information is available that is utilized on a regular basis by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), the CEO. The CODM considers the budget-to-actual and forecast-to-actual variances for revenue and segment Adjusted EBITDA on a periodic basis in assessing segment performance and in allocating the Company’s resources. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as GAAP net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to NCR Voyix plus interest expense, net; plus income tax expense (benefit); plus depreciation and amortization; plus stock-based compensation expense; plus pension mark-to-market adjustments and other special items, including amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, acquisition-related costs, separation-related costs, cyber ransomware incident recovery costs net of insurance recoveries, fraudulent ACH disbursements costs net of recoveries, foreign currency devaluation, transformation and restructuring charges (which includes integration, severance and other exit and disposal costs), and strategic initiative costs, among others. The special items are considered non-operational or non-recurring in nature, so are excluded from the Adjusted EBITDA metric utilized by our chief operating decision maker in evaluating segment performance and are separately delineated to reconcile back to total reported GAAP net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to the Company.

Assets are not allocated to segments, and thus are not included in the assessment of segment performance. Consequently, we do not disclose total assets by reportable segment. The accounting policies used to determine the results of the operating segments are the same as those utilized for the consolidated financial statements as a whole. Intersegment sales and transfers are not material.

The following table presents summarized financial information for the Company’s reportable segments for the year ended December 31, 2024:

The following table presents summarized financial information for the Company’s reportable segments for the year ended December 31, 2023:

Additional details regarding this cyber ransomware incident are discussed in Note 1, “Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies”.

(8)Represents professional fees related to strategic initiatives which are considered non-operational in nature, as well as certain costs incurred related to the Hardware Business transition.

The following table presents recurring revenue and all other products and services that is recognized at a point in time for the Company for the years ended December 31:

(1)Recurring revenue includes all revenue streams from contracts where there is a predictable revenue pattern that will occur at regular intervals with a relatively high degree of certainty. This includes hardware and software maintenance revenue, cloud revenue, payment processing revenue, interchange and network revenue, and certain professional services arrangements, as well as term-based software license arrangements that include customer termination rights.

Revenue is attributed to the geographic area to which the product is delivered or in which the service is provided. The following table presents revenue by geographic area for the Company for the years ended December 31:

The following table presents property, plant and equipment by geographic area as of December 31:

Concentrations One customer accounted for approximately 13%,16% and 12% of our consolidated operating revenues during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 respectively, and is included in our Retail segment. As of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company is not aware of any other significant concentration of business transacted with a particular customer that could, if suddenly eliminated, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations. NCR Voyix does not have a concentration of available sources of labor, services, licenses or other rights that could, if suddenly eliminated, have a material adverse effect on its operations.

A number of NCR Voyix’s products, systems and solutions rely primarily on specific suppliers for microprocessors and other component products, manufactured assemblies, operating systems, commercial software and other central components. The Company also utilizes contract manufacturers in order to complete manufacturing activities. There can be no assurances that any sudden impact to the availability or cost of these technologies or services would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations.

6. DEBT OBLIGATIONS

The following table summarizes the Company’s short-term borrowings and long-term debt:

(1)Interest rates are weighted average interest rates as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities On October 16, 2023, the Company entered into a senior secured credit agreement, with certain subsidiaries of the Company party thereto as foreign borrowers, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”). This credit agreement provides for senior secured credit facilities in an aggregate principal amount of $700 million, comprised of (i) afive-year multicurrency revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $500 million (including (a) a letter of credit sub-facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $75 million and (b) a sub-facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $200 million for borrowings and letters of credit in certain agreed foreign currencies) (the “Revolving Credit Facility,” and the loans thereunder, the “Revolving Loans”) and (ii) afive-year term loan “A” facility in the aggregate principal amount of $200 million (the “Term Loan A Facility,” and the loans thereunder, the “Term A Loans” and, the Term Loan A Facility, together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”).

The Revolving Loans bear interest based on SOFR (or an alternative reference rate for amounts denominated in a currency other than Dollars), or, at the Company’s option, in the case of amounts denominated in Dollars, at a base reference rate equal to the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the rate of interest last quoted by the Administrative Agent as its “prime rate” and (c) the one-month SOFR rate plus 1.00% (the “Base Rate”), plus, as applicable, a margin ranging from 2.25% to 3.25% per annum for SOFR-based Revolving Loans and ranging from 1.25% to 2.25% per annum for Base Rate-based Revolving Loans, in each case, depending on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. The Revolving Credit Facility is not subject to amortization and will mature on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date.

On September 30, 2024, using a portion of the proceeds from the Digital Banking Sale, the Company repaid all loans outstanding under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (but did not reduce the principal amount of the commitments under the Revolving Loans).

The obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s material subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”). The obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility and the above described guarantee are secured by a first priority lien and security interest in certain equity interests owned by the Company and the Guarantors in certain of their respective domestic and foreign subsidiaries, and a first priority lien and security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Guarantors, subject to certain exclusions.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants, and negative covenants. The negative covenants limit the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, incur indebtedness, create liens on the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ assets, engage in fundamental changes, make investments, sell or otherwise dispose of assets, engage in sale-leaseback transactions, make restricted payments, repay subordinated indebtedness, engage in certain transactions with affiliates and enter into agreements restricting the ability of the Company’s subsidiaries to make distributions to the Company or incur liens on their assets.

The Revolving Credit Facility also contains a financial covenant that does not permit the Company to allow its consolidated leverage ratio to exceed (i) in the case of any fiscal quarter ending on or following September 30, 2024 and prior to September 30, 2025,4.50 to 1.00 and (ii) in the case of any fiscal quarter ending on or following September 30, 2025,4.25 to 1.00, in each case subject, to (x) increases of 0.25 in connection with the consummation of any material acquisition and applicable to the fiscal quarter in which such acquisition is consummated and the three consecutive fiscal quarters thereafter, and (y) a maximum cap of 5.00 to 1.00.

The Revolving Credit Facility also includes provisions for events of default which are customary for similar financings. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the lenders may, among other things, terminate the loan commitments, accelerate all loans and require cash collateral deposits in respect of outstanding letters of credit. If the Company is unable to pay or repay the amounts due, the lenders could, among other things, proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure such indebtedness.

Senior Unsecured Notes On August 20, 2020, the Company issued $650 million aggregate principal amount of 5.000% senior unsecured notes due in 2028 (the “5.000% Notes”) and $450 million aggregate principal amount of 5.250% senior unsecured notes due in 2030 (the “5.250% Notes”). Interest is payable on the 5.000% and 5.250% Notes semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1. The 5.000% and 5.250% Notes were sold at 100% of the principal amount and mature on October 1, 2028 and October 1, 2030, respectively.

Prior to October 1, 2025, with respect to the 5.250% Notes, the Company may redeem some or all of such series of Notes by paying a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus the Applicable Premium, as defined in the indenture governing the applicable series of notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record of the Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

The Company has the option to redeem the 5.000% Notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after October 1, 2023, at a redemption price of 101.250%, and 100% during the 12-month periods commencing on October 1, 2024 and 2025 and thereafter, respectively, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

The Company has the option to redeem the 5.250% Notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after October 1, 2025, at a redemption price of 102.625%,101.750%,100.875%, and 100% during the 12-month periods commencing on October 1, 2025, 2026, 2027 and 2028 and thereafter, respectively, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

On April 6, 2021, the Company issued$1.2 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.125% senior unsecured notes due 2029 (the “5.125% Notes”). Interest is payable on the 5.125% Notes semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year. The 5.125% Notes will mature on April 15, 2029.

The Company has the option to redeem the 5.125% Notes, at whole or in part, on or after April 15, 2024, at a redemption price of 102.563%,101.281% and 100% during the 12-month periods commencing on or after April 15, 2024, 2025 and 2026 and thereafter, respectively, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

The senior unsecured notes are the Company’s senior unsecured obligations and are jointly and severally unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company’s domestic material subsidiaries, subject to certain limitations, that guarantee the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facilities pursuant to supplemental indentures governing each applicable series of senior unsecured notes. The indentures governing the senior unsecured notes contain customary events of default, including, among other things, payment default, exchange default, failure to provide certain notices thereunder and certain provisions related to bankruptcy events. The indentures governing the senior unsecured notes also contains customary high yield affirmative and negative covenants, including negative covenants that, among other things, limit the Company and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens on, sell or otherwise dispose of assets, engage in certain fundamental corporate changes or changes to lines of business activities, make certain investments or material acquisitions, engage in sale-leaseback or hedging transactions, repurchase common stock, pay dividends or make similar distributions on capital stock, repay certain indebtedness, engage in certain affiliate transactions and enter into agreements that restrict their ability to create liens, pay dividends or make loan repayments. If the senior unsecured notes are assigned an “investment grade” rating by Moody’s or S&P and no default has occurred or is continuing, certain covenants will be terminated.

On September 30, 2024, a portion of the proceeds from the Digital Banking Sale were used to settle the Company’s previously announced tender offers to purchase up to $1.2 billion aggregate purchase price, excluding accrued and unpaid interest, of the Company’s senior unsecured notes, subject to prioritized acceptance levels and proration. Pursuant to the terms of the tender offers and the final settlement, the Company purchased approximately $398 million aggregate principal amount of the 5.250% Notes and $797 million aggregate principal amount of the 5.125% Notes. The Company recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt of $8 million related to the redemption discount of $18 million on the settlement of the 5.250% Notes and 5.125% Notes offset by the write-off of the related deferred financing fees of $10 million.

Debt Maturities Maturities of debt outstanding, in principal amounts, at December 31, 2024 are summarized below:

Fair Value of Debt The Company utilized Level 2 inputs, as defined in the fair value hierarchy, to measure the fair value of the long-term debt, which, as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $1.06 billion and $2.47 billion, respectively. Management’s fair value estimates were based on quoted prices for recent trades of the Company’s long-term debt, quoted prices for similar instruments, and inquiries with certain investment communities.

7. TRADE RECEIVABLES FACILITY

Prior to September 30, 2024, the Company maintained a trade receivables facility (the “T/R Facility”) pursuant to which a wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary of the Company (the “U.S. SPE”) and a wholly-owned, bankruptcy remote subsidiary of a Canadian affiliate of the Company (the “Canadian SPE,” and together with the U.S. SPE, the “SPEs”) continuously acquired all of the trade receivables originated by the Company and the Canadian affiliate (and certain other affiliates from time to time party to the T/R Facility). The SPEs in turn either sold or pledged those trade receivables to unaffiliated purchasers party to the T/R Facility (the “Purchasers”). On September 1, 2024, the Company voluntarily repaid a portion of the amounts outstanding under the T/R Facility to reduce the commitment of the Purchasers from$300 million to $252 million and to reacquire all outstanding trade receivables related to the Digital Banking business. On September 30, 2024, the Company used a portion of the proceeds from the Digital Banking Sale to voluntarily pay all remaining amounts outstanding under the T/R Facility. In connection with the payment of such amounts, the Company terminated the T/R Facility and reacquired all of the outstanding trade receivables that had previously been sold by it (and by its affiliates then party to the T/R Facility) to the SPEs (including any outstanding trade receivables that had been further sold on to the Purchasers) and these amounts are included in Accounts receivable, net in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Prior to the termination of the T/R Facility, the total outstanding balance of trade receivables sold to the Purchasers could be up to $252 million (or prior to September 1, 2024, up to $300 million) at any one time, which represented the maximum purchase commitment from the Purchasers. The actual outstanding balance of trade receivables that were sold varied based on the level of activity and other factors and could be less than the maximum purchase commitment. The total outstanding balance of trade receivables that were sold to the Purchasers and derecognized by the U.S. SPE was approximately zero and $288 million as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Excluding the trade receivables sold to the Purchasers, the SPEs collectively owned zero and $107 million of trade receivables as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and these amounts are included in Accounts receivable, net in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Cash activity related to the termination of the T/R Facility is reflected in Net cash provided by investing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Prior to the termination of the T/R Facility, continuous cash activity was reflected in Net cash provided by operating activities. The U.S. SPE incurred fees under the T/R Facility, including fees due and payable to the Purchasers. Those fees, which are immaterial, are recorded within Other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, each of the SPEs had provided a full recourse guarantee in favor of the Purchasers of the full and timely payment of all trade receivables sold to them by the U.S. SPE. The guarantee was secured by all the trade receivables owned by each of the SPEs that had not been sold to the Purchasers. The reserve recognized for this recourse obligation as of December 31, 2024 was not material.

8. INCOME TAXES

For the years ended December 31, income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes consisted of the following:

For the years ended December 31, income tax expense (benefit) consisted of the following:

The following table presents the principal components of the difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate for the years ended December 31:

The Company’s tax provisions include a provision for income taxes in certain tax jurisdictions where its subsidiaries are profitable, but reflect only a portion of the tax benefits related to certain foreign subsidiaries’ tax losses due to the uncertainty of the ultimate realization of future benefits from these losses. During 2024, our tax rate was impacted by a $57 million expense from recording a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. During 2023, our tax rate was impacted by a net $226 million expense related to the Spin-Off of NCR Atleos. Also during 2023, our tax rate was impacted by a $31 million expense from recording a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets and a $17 million expense from nondeductible executive compensation. During 2022, our tax rate was impacted by a $117 million expense from recording a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets in the United Kingdom and other jurisdictions.

As described in Note 1, “Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies”, on October 16, 2023, in connection with the Spin-Off, the Company completed a series of legal entity restructurings including both an internal and external spin-off transaction. These transactions are subject to tax laws in the U.S. and non-U.S. jurisdictions, which resulted in the use of significant judgments by management as it pertains to the interpretation and application of tax laws in the U.S. and non-U.S. jurisdictions to determine the potential taxability of the transactions.

The Company did not provide additional U.S. income tax or foreign withholding taxes, if any, on approximately $295 million of undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries, given the intention continues to be that those earnings are reinvested indefinitely. The amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability associated with these indefinitely reinvested earnings is approximately $32 million. The unrecognized deferred tax liability is made up of a combination of U.S. and state income taxes and foreign withholding taxes.

We regularly review our deferred tax assets for recoverability and establish a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The determination as to whether a deferred tax asset will be realized is made on a jurisdictional basis and is based on the evaluation of positive and negative evidence. This evidence includes historical taxable income/loss, projected future taxable income, the expected timing of the reversal of existing temporary differences and the implementation of tax planning strategies.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31 were as follows:

The Company has previously recorded valuation allowances related to certain deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of the ultimate realization of the future benefits from those assets. The recorded valuation allowances cover deferred tax assets, including tax loss carryforwards, interest expense carryforwards, and foreign tax credits in tax jurisdictions where there is uncertainty as to the ultimate realization of those tax assets. If we are unable to generate sufficient future taxable income of the proper source in the time period within which the temporary differences underlying our deferred tax assets become deductible, or before the expiration of our loss and credit carryforwards, additional valuation allowances could be required.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had U.S. federal, U.S. state (tax effected), and foreign tax attribute carryforwards of approximately $571 million. The net operating loss carryforwards that are subject to expiration will expire in the years 2025 through 2044. The attributes include U.S. tax credit carryforwards of $27 million, which expire in the years 2028 through 2034.

The Company’s current tax liability was $336 million and $31 million as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, presented within Other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The increase in the expected current tax liability relates to taxes for the Digital Banking Sale which is expected to be paid within the next 12 months.

The aggregate changes in the balance of our gross unrecognized tax benefits were as follows for the years ended December 31:

Of the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2024, $42 million would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if realized. The Company’s liability arising from uncertain tax positions is recorded in Income tax accruals and Other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We recognized interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as part of the provision for income taxes in our Consolidated Statements of Operations ofzero, $4 million of expense, and $1 million of benefit for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. The gross amount of interest and penalties accrued as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $16 million and $18 million, respectively.

In the United States, the Company files consolidated federal and state income tax returns, with statutes of limitations generally ranging from three to five years. In 2022, the IRS commenced an examination of our 2019 income tax return, which concluded during the third quarter of 2024 with no changes made to our reported tax. U.S. federal tax years remain open from 2020 forward. Years beginning on or after 2010 are still open to examination by certain foreign taxing authorities.

The Company engages in discussions and negotiations with taxing authorities regarding tax matters, and the Company has determined that over the next 12 months it expects to resolve certain tax matters related to U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. As a result, as of December 31, 2024, we estimate that it is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by $11 million to $14 million in the next 12 months.

9. STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS

As disclosed in Note 1, “Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies”, outstanding restricted stock units and stock options were adjusted to maintain the economic value of those awards before and after the Spin-Off. Generally, continuing NCR Voyix employees retained the number of outstanding restricted stock units held by them as of the Spin-Off and received additional NCR Voyix restricted stock units to reflect the Spin-Off, while continuing NCR Atleos employees had their outstanding restricted stock units held by them as of the Spin-Off converted solely into equivalent restricted stock units of NCR Atleos, and any outstanding restricted stock units held by them as of the Spin-Off were cancelled. Outstanding stock options at the time of the Spin-Off, regardless of the holder, were converted into stock options of both NCR Voyix and NCR Atleos. In addition, outstanding restricted stock units held by certain key equity holders as of the Spin-Off (including directors and certain former employees) were converted into restricted stock units of both NCR Voyix and NCR Atleos. The share information included below has been adjusted for the Spin-Off. The modification of the Company’s awards did not result in material stock-based compensation cost during the year ended December 31, 2023.

The Company recognizes all share-based payments as compensation expense in its financial statements based on their fair value. As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s stock-based compensation consisted of restricted stock units, employee stock purchase plan and stock options. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense in income (loss) from continuing operations for the years ended December 31 as follows:

Approximately 36 million shares (i) remain available for future issuance and (ii) are issuable upon the exercise or settlement of outstanding awards under the 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (“SIP”). Details of the Company’s stock-based compensation plans are discussed below.

Restricted Stock Units

The SIP provides for the grant of several different forms of stock-based compensation, including restricted stock units. Restricted stock units can have service-based and/or performance-based vesting with performance goals being established by the Compensation and Human Resource Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. Any grant of restricted stock units is generally subject to a vesting period of 12 months to 48 months, to the extent permitted by the SIP. Performance-based grants conditionally vest upon achievement of future performance goals based on performance criteria such as the Company’s achievement of specific return on capital and/or other financial metrics (as defined in the SIP) during the performance period. Performance-based grants must be earned, based on performance, before the actual number of shares to be awarded is known. The Compensation and Human Resource Committee considers the likelihood of meeting the performance criteria based upon estimates and other relevant data, and certifies performance based on its analysis of achievement against the performance criteria. A recipient of restricted stock units does not have the rights of a stockholder and is subject to restrictions on transferability and risk of forfeiture. Other terms and conditions applicable to any award of restricted stock units will be determined by the Compensation and Human Resource Committee and set forth in the agreement relating to that award.

The following table reports restricted stock unit activity during the year ended December 31, 2024:

Stock-based compensation expense is recognized in the financial statements based upon fair value. The total fair value of units vested and distributed in the form of the Company’s common stock was $61 million in 2024, $132 million in 2023, and $121 million in 2022. As of December 31, 2024, there was $59 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock unit grants. The unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 1 year. The weighted average grant date fair value for restricted stock unit awards granted in 2023 and 2022 was $16.25 and $35.08, respectively.

The following table represents the composition of restricted stock unit grants in 2024:

On November 8, 2024, the Company granted market-based restricted stock units vesting on November 8, 2027. The number of awards that vest are subject to the satisfaction of performance-based vesting conditions tied to the Company’s common stock price. The performance-based vesting conditions require that at any time during the 3-year performance period prior to November 8, 2027, thetwenty-trading day trailing average price for the Company’s common stock must equal or exceed a stock price threshold of $22.00 fortwenty consecutive trading days. In addition, should thetwenty-trading day trailing average price for the Company’s common stock equal or exceed $24.00 at any time during the performance period fortwenty consecutive trading days, the payout will be 125% and should thetwenty-trading day trailing average price for the Company’s common stock equal or exceed $26.00 at any time during the performance period fortwenty consecutive trading days, the payout will be 150%. Payouts for stock prices between prices provided herein shall be calculated applying linear interpolation. The fair value of the awards was determined based on the grant date fair value and will be recognized over the requisite service period.

The table below details the significant assumptions used in determining the fair value of the market-based restricted stock units granted on November 8, 2024:

Expected volatility for these restricted stock units is calculated as the historical volatility of the Company’s stock over a period of approximately three years, as management believes this is the best representation of prospective trends. The risk-free interest rate was determined based on a three year U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.

On March 15, 2024, the Company granted market-based restricted stock units vesting on March 15, 2027. The fair value of the awards was determined based on the grant date fair value and will be recognized over the requisite service period.

The table below details the significant assumptions used in determining the fair value of the market-based restricted stock units granted on March 15, 2024:

Expected volatility for these restricted stock units is calculated as the historical volatility of the Company’s stock over a period of approximately three years, as management believes this is the best representation of prospective trends. The risk-free interest rate was determined based on a three year U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.

On February 13, 2023, the Company granted market-based restricted stock units vesting on December 31, 2025. The number of awards that vest are subject to the compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of the Company’s stock price from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2025 (the “performance period”), subject to an alternative level of achievement based on the Company’s relative total shareholder return ranking among a comparison group. The fair value of the awards was determined to be $35.04 per share based on using a Monte-Carlo simulation model and will be recognized over the requisite service period.

Approximately 50% of these market-based restricted stock units included an accelerated vesting provision if a Qualified Transaction, as defined in the award agreement, took place during the performance period (with a minimum vesting period ofone year from the grant date). Upon the occurrence of a Qualified Transaction, the number of shares that would vest based on the Company’s 20-day volume-weighted average closing stock price immediately preceding the transaction date. The Spin-Off resulted in a Qualified Transaction and as such, these market-based restricted stock units were subject to accelerated vesting as defined in the award agreement.

The table below details the significant assumptions used in determining the fair value of the market-based restricted stock units granted on February 13, 2023:

Expected volatility for these restricted stock units is calculated as the historical volatility of the Company’s stock over a period of approximately three years, as management believes this is the best representation of prospective trends. The risk-free interest rate was determined based on a three year U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.

On February 25, 2022, the Company granted market-based restricted stock units vesting on December 31, 2024. The number of awards that vest are subject to the performance of the Company’s stock price from the date of grant to December 31, 2024. The fair value was determined to be $57.67 per share based on using a Monte-Carlo simulation model and will be recognized over the requisite service period. The table below details the assumptions used in determining the fair value of the market-based restricted stock units.

Expected volatility for the market-based restricted stock units is calculated as the historical volatility of the Company’s stock over a period ofthree years, as management believes this is the best representation of prospective trends. The risk-free interest rate was determined based on a three year U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.

On December 21, 2022, the Company granted market-based restricted stock units vesting on December 31, 2025. The number of awards that vest are subject to the compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of the Company’s stock price from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2025 (the “performance period”), subject to an alternative level of achievement based on the Company’s relative total shareholder return ranking among a comparison group. The fair value of the awards was determined to be $29.66 per share based on using a Monte-Carlo simulation model and will be recognized over the requisite service period.

Approximately 50% of these market-based restricted stock units included an accelerated vesting provision if a Qualified Transaction, as defined in the award agreement, took place during the performance period (with a minimum vesting period ofone year from the grant date). Upon the occurrence of a Qualified Transaction, the number of shares that would vest based on the Company’s 20-day volume-weighted average closing stock price immediately preceding the transaction date. The Spin-Off resulted in a Qualified Transaction and as such, these market-based restricted stock units were subject to accelerated vesting as defined in the award agreement.

The table below details the significant assumptions used in determining the fair value of the market-based restricted stock units granted on December 21, 2022:

Expected volatility for these restricted stock units is calculated as the historical volatility of the Company’s stock over a period of approximately three years, as management believes this is the best representation of prospective trends. The risk-free interest rate was determined based on a three year U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.

Stock Options

The SIP also provides for the grant of stock options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The Compensation and Human Resource Committee has discretion to determine the material terms and conditions of option awards under the SIP, provided that (i) the exercise price must be no less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock (defined as the closing price) on the date of grant, (ii) the term must be no longer thanten years, and (iii) in no event shall the normal vesting schedule provide for vesting in less thanone year. Other terms and conditions of an award of stock options will be determined by the Compensation and Human Resource Committee as set forth in the applicable stock option award. The Compensation and Human Resource Committee has authority to administer the SIP, except that the Committee on Directors and Governance of the Company’s Board of Directors will administer the SIP with respect to non-employee members of the Board of Directors. New shares of the Company’s common stock are issued as a result of stock option exercises.

During the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company did not grant any stock options. During the year ended December 31, 2022, as discussed in Note 2, “Discontinued Operations”, the Company converted certain outstanding unvested LibertyX awards into the Company’s awards. LibertyX stock option awards were converted into the Company’s stock option awards with an exercise price per share for option awards equal to the exercise price per share of such stock option award immediately prior to the completion of the acquisition divided by the exchange ratio (as defined in the acquisition agreement), and vested immediately. The value of the option awards was deemed attributable to services already rendered and was included as a portion of the purchase price.

The following table summarizes the Company’s stock option activity for the year ended December 31, 2024:

As of December 31, 2024, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock option grants.

The total intrinsic value of all options exercised was $1 million in 2024, $1 million in 2023, and $7 million in 2022. Cash received from option exercises under all share-based payment arrangements was $4 million in 2024, $2 million in 2023, and $1 million in 2022. There was $1 million of tax benefits realized from option exercises in 2022. There wasno tax benefit realized from stock options exercised in 2024 or 2023.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company’s amended Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) provides employees a 15% discount on stock purchases using athree-month look-back feature where the discount is applied to the stock price that represents the lower of the Company’s closing stock price on either the first day or the last day of each calendar quarter. Participants can contribute between 1% and 10% of their compensation. The amended ESPP was approved by the Company’s stockholders in 2016 and became effective January 1, 2017.

Employees purchased approximately 1.1 million shares in 2024,0.9 million shares in 2023, and 1.3 million shares in 2022, for approximately $11 million in 2024, $19 million in 2023 and $29 million in 2022. A total of 4 million shares were originally authorized to be issued under the ESPP before its amendment. Under the amended ESPP,10 million shares were newly authorized to be issued, plus any shares remaining unissued under the prior ESPP after the last 2016 purchase date. Approximately 3.5 million authorized shares remain unissued under our amended ESPP as of December 31, 2024.

10. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Pension and Postemployment Plans The Company sponsors defined benefit pension plans. Following the Spin-Off, NCR Atleos assumed the U.S. and certain international pension plan assets and liabilities, along with the associated deferred costs in accumulated other comprehensive loss, which were previously sponsored by the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Spin-Off transaction documents, the Company is required to contribute 50% of the annual costs of the NCR Atleos U.S. pension plan to the extent NCR Atleos contributes more than $40 million on an annual basis beginning with the plan year ending December 31, 2024. The contribution threshold was not met by NCR Atleos during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Internationally, the defined benefit plans are based primarily upon compensation and years of service. Certain international plans also no longer offer additional benefits and are closed to new participants. The Company’s funding policy is to contribute annually no less than the minimum required by applicable laws and regulations. Assets of the Company’s defined benefit plans are primarily invested in common and commingled trusts.

The Company recognizes the funded status of each applicable plan on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Each overfunded plan is recognized as an asset and each underfunded plan is recognized as a liability. For pension plans, changes in the fair value of plan assets and net actuarial gains or losses are recognized upon remeasurement, which is at least annually in the fourth quarter of each year. For postemployment plans, changes to the funded status are recognized as a component of other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity.

Non-U.S. employees are typically covered under government-sponsored programs, and the Company generally does not provide postretirement benefits other than pensions to non-U.S. retirees. The Company generally funds these benefits on a pay-as-you-go basis.

The Company offers various postemployment benefits to involuntarily terminated and certain inactive employees after employment but before retirement. These benefits are paid in accordance with the Company’s established postemployment benefit practices and policies. Postemployment benefits include mainly severance as well as continuation of healthcare benefits and life insurance coverage while on disability. The Company provides appropriate accruals for these postemployment benefits. These postemployment benefits are funded on a pay-as-you-go basis.

Pension Plans Reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the benefit obligations for the Company’s pension plans are as follows:

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the fair value of the plan assets of the Company’s pension plans are as follows:

The following table presents the funded status and the reconciliation of the funded status to amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and in Accumulated other comprehensive loss as of December 31:

For pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets, the projected benefit obligation and accumulated benefit obligation were $142 million and $141 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2024, and $163 million and $162 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2023. The fair value of assets waszero as of both December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

The net periodic benefit (income) cost of the pension plans for the years ended December 31 was as follows:

The net actuarial gain in 2024 was primarily due to plan experience gains as well as an increase in discount rates and favorable returns on plan assets. The net actuarial loss in 2023 was primarily due to plan experience losses as well as a decrease in discount rates, partially offset by favorable returns on plan assets. Actuarial gains in 2022 were primarily due to an increase in discount rates partially offset by unfavorable returns on the fair value of plan assets.

The weighted average rates and assumptions used to determine benefit obligations as of December 31 were as follows:

The weighted average rates and assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit (income) cost for the years ended December 31 were as follows:

The weighted-average cash balance interest crediting rate for the Company’s cash balance defined benefit plans was 1.5% and 1.4% for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The discount rate used to determine the International plans benefit obligations as of December 31, 2024 were derived by examining interest rate levels and trends within each country, particularly yields on high-quality, long-term corporate bonds, relative to our future expected cash flows.

The Company employs a building block approach as its primary approach in determining the long-term expected rate of return assumptions for plan assets. Historical market returns are studied and long-term relationships between equities and fixed income are preserved consistent with the widely accepted capital market principle that assets with higher volatilities generate higher returns over the long run. Current market factors, such as inflation and interest rates are evaluated before long-term capital market assumptions are determined. The expected long-term portfolio return is established for each plan via a building block approach with proper rebalancing consideration. The result is then adjusted to reflect additional expected return from active management net of plan expenses. Historical plan returns, the expectations of other capital market participants, and peer data may be used to review and assess the results for reasonableness and appropriateness.

Plan Assets The weighted average asset allocations as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 by asset category are as follows:

(1) Includes equity securities and equities held in comingled trusts.

(2) Includes debt securities and debt held in comingled trusts.

The fair value of plan assets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 by asset category is as follows:

Notes:

1. Common/collective trusts and registered investment companies (RICs) such as mutual funds are valued using a Net Asset Value (NAV) provided by the manager of each fund. The NAV is based on the underlying net assets owned by the fund, divided by the number of shares or units outstanding. The fair value of the underlying securities within the fund, which are generally traded on an active market, are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which those individual securities are traded. For investments not traded on an active market, or for which a quoted price is not publicly available, a variety of unobservable valuation methodologies, including discounted cash flow, market multiple and cost valuation approaches, are employed by the fund manager or independent third party to value investments.

Investment Strategy The Company has historically employed a total return investment approach, whereby a mix of fixed-income, equities and real estate investments are used to maximize the long-term return of plan assets subject to a prudent level of risk. The risk tolerance is established for each plan through a careful consideration of plan liabilities, plan funded status and corporate financial condition. When considering assets for investment, the Company considers the expected rate of return and the risk of return, among others, of each potential investment. Investment risk is measured and monitored on an ongoing basis through regular performance reporting, investment manager reviews, actuarial liability measurements and periodic investment strategy reviews.

Postemployment Benefits Reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the benefit obligation for the Company’s postemployment plan was:

The net periodic benefit cost of the postemployment plan for the years ended December 31 was:

The weighted average assumptions utilized in accounting for postemployment benefit obligations as of December 31 and for postemployment benefit costs for the years ended December 31 were:

Cash Flows Related to Employee Benefit Plans

Cash Contributions The Company plans to contribute approximately $13 million to the international pension plans in 2025. The Company also plans to make contributions of approximately $13 million to the postemployment plan in 2025.

Estimated Future Benefit Payments The Company expects to make the following benefit payments reflecting past and future service from its pension and postemployment plans:

Savings Plans U.S. employees and many international employees participate in defined contribution savings plans. These plans generally provide either a specified percent of pay or a matching contribution on participating employees’ voluntary elections. The Company’s matching contributions typically are subject to a maximum percentage or level of compensation. Employee contributions can be made pre-tax, after-tax or a combination thereof. The expense under the U.S. plan was approximately $21 million in 2024, $22 million in 2023, and $26 million in 2022. The expense under international and subsidiary savings plans was $14 million in 2024, $11 million in 2023, and $11 million in 2022.

Amounts to be Recognized The amounts in Accumulated other comprehensive loss that are expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost (income) during 2025 are less than $1 million.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to various proceedings, lawsuits, claims and other matters, including, for example, those that relate to the environment and health and safety, labor and employment, employee benefits, import/export compliance, patents or other intellectual property, data privacy and security, product liability, commercial disputes and regulatory compliance, among others. Additionally, the Company is subject to diverse and complex laws and regulations, including those relating to corporate governance, public disclosure and reporting, environmental safety and the discharge of materials into the environment, product safety, import and export compliance, data privacy and security, antitrust and competition, government contracting, anti-corruption, and labor and human resources, which are rapidly changing and subject to many possible changes in the future. Compliance with these laws and regulations, as well as changes in accounting standards, taxation requirements, and federal securities laws among others, may create a substantial burden on, and substantially increase costs to the Company or could have an impact on the Company’s future operating results. The Company has reflected all liabilities when a loss is considered probable and reasonably estimable in the Consolidated Financial Statements. We do not believe there is a reasonable possibility that losses exceeding amounts already recognized have been incurred, but there can be no assurances that the amounts required to satisfy alleged liabilities from such matters will not impact future operating results. Other than as stated below, the Company does not currently expect to incur material costs related to such matters. However, there can be no assurances that the actual amounts required to satisfy alleged liabilities from various lawsuits, claims, legal proceedings and other matters, including, but not limited to the Kalamazoo River environmental matter and other matters discussed above and below, and to comply with applicable laws and regulations, will not exceed the amounts reflected in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements or will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, capital expenditures, competitive position, financial condition or cash flows.

Other Litigation In November 2015, several participants and beneficiaries in five “nonqualified” deferred compensation retirement plans sponsored by the Company (collectively, the “Plans”) filed a putative class action lawsuit against the Company and other named defendants. The plaintiffs alleged, among other things, that the Company breached the terms of the Plan agreements when, upon termination of the Plans, the Company paid lump sum payments based on mortality tables and actuarial calculations. In September 2017, the court certified a class.

On February 6, 2024, the court entered summary judgment in favor of the plaintiffs, finding that the Company breached the terms of the Plans when it paid the lump sums in lieu of actuarially equivalent replacement life annuities and ordered that the Company provide class members the amount reflecting the difference between the lump sums they received and the cost of the replacement life annuities. The court further ordered the parties to brief as to what the appropriate relief should have been based on the benefits due to each Plan participant (the “Requested Relief Order”). On April 16, 2024, the Company filed its position on the Requested Relief Order.

On June 10, 2024, the Court ruled against the Company’s position to the Requested Relief Order, entered a final judgment against the Company, and ordered the Company to calculate the “benefits due” to the Plan participants, including pre-judgment interest, based on the sum that would have been sufficient to allow each participant to purchase a replacement annuity using discount rates prescribed by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation in effect as of the February 25, 2013 termination date.

The Company is contesting this matter vigorously. On July 2, 2024, the Company filed a notice of appeal. Given that an estimate or range of possible loss was not ordered in this equitable judgment and moreover cannot be determined at this time in light of the uncertainty regarding the ultimate form of relief and complexities in the methodology and quantification of loss, if any, the parties stipulated to a $45 million supersedeas bond, which is an amount the Company believes may not be correlated to the actual loss (if any). On September 12, 2024, the supersedeas bond was filed and the judgment is currently stayed pending appeal. Any amount sustained following an appeal of this matter is subject to an indemnity obligation by NCR Atleos to contribute 50% of any award. The Company has concluded that, as of December 31, 2024, a loss is reasonably possible but that an estimate or range of possible loss cannot be determined at this time given uncertainty regarding the ultimate form of relief and complexities in the methodology and quantification of damages, if any.

Environmental Matters The Company’s facilities and operations are subject to a wide range of environmental protection laws, and the Company has investigatory and remedial activities underway at a number of facilities that it currently owns, or formerly owned or operated, to comply, or to determine compliance, with such laws. Also, the Company has been identified, either by a government agency or by a private party seeking contribution to site clean-up costs, as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) at a number of sites pursuant to various state and federal laws, including the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”) and comparable state statutes. Following the Spin-Off, the Company retains the responsibility to manage the identified environmental liabilities and remediations, subject however to an indemnity obligation by NCR Atleos to contribute 50% of the costs of certain environmental liabilities after an annual $15 million funding threshold is met. Other than the Kalamazoo River matter discussed below, we currently do not anticipate material expenses and liabilities from these environmental matters.

Fox River The Company was one ofeight entities that was formally notified by governmental and other entities that it was a PRP for environmental claims (under CERCLA and other statutes) arising out of the presence of polychlorinated biphenyls (“PCBs”) in sediments in the lower Fox River and in the Bay of Green Bay in Wisconsin. The Company was identified as a

PRP because of alleged PCB discharges from two carbonless copy paper manufacturing facilities it previously owned, which were located along the Fox River, and carbonless copy paper “broke” the Company allegedly sold to other mills as raw material. In 2017, the Company entered into a Consent Decree with the federal and state governments for the clean-up of the Fox River, which was approved on August 22, 2017 by the federal district court in Wisconsin presiding over this matter. The Consent Decree resolved the Company’s disputes with the enforcement agencies as well as the other PRPs.

All litigation relating to the contribution and enforcement of remediation obligations on the Fox River has been concluded. On October 3, 2022, the Environmental Protection Agency issued the Company a Certificate of Completion certifying that all of the Company’s remedial obligations under the Consent Decree have been completed.

The cost of the Fox River remediation has been shared with three parties (Appvion, Inc. having fully satisfied its obligations in 2016 and is now bankrupt), B.A.T. Industries p.l.c. (“BAT”) as co-obligor, and AT&T Corp. (“AT&T”) and Nokia (as the successor to Lucent Technologies and Alcatel-Lucent USA) as indemnitors. Under a 1998 Cost Sharing Agreement and subsequent 2005 arbitration award (collectively, the “Cost Sharing Agreement”), from 2008 through 2014, BAT paid 60% of the cost of the Fox River clean-up and natural resource damages. Pursuant to a September 30, 2014 Funding Agreement (the “Funding Agreement”), BAT funded 50% of the Company’s Fox River remediation costs from October 1, 2014 forward; the Funding Agreement also provides the Company contractual avenues for a future payment of, via direct and third-party sources, (1) the difference between BAT’s 60% obligation under the Cost Sharing Agreement on the one hand and their ongoing (since September 2014)50% payments under the Funding Agreement on the other, as well as (2) the difference between the amount the Company received under the Funding Agreement and the amount owed to it under the Cost Sharing Agreement for the period from April 2012 through September 2014 (collectively, the “Funding Agreement Receivable”). Pursuant to a June 12, 2015 Letter Agreement, the Company’s contractual avenue for direct payment by BAT was effectively stayed pending completion of other unrelated lawsuits by BAT against third-parties. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Funding Agreement Receivable was approximately $54 million and was included in Other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The timing of collection of sums related to the receivable is uncertain and is subject and pursuant to the terms of the Funding Agreement and related agreements. This receivable is not taken into account in calculating the Company’s remaining reserve for the Fox River.

Additionally, under a 1996 Divestiture Agreement, the Company, AT&T and Nokia have mutual several (not joint) responsibility for indemnifying each other for certain environmental matters, including the Fox River and the Kalamazoo River discussed below, after defined dollar expenditures are met. AT&T and Nokia have been reimbursing the Company for certain portions of the amounts paid by the Company for the Fox River matter over the defined threshold for Fox River subject to certain offsets for insurance recoveries and net tax benefits (the “Divestiture Agreement Offsets”), if any. The Divestiture Agreement governs certain aspects of AT&T’s divestiture of the Company and of what was then known as Lucent Technologies. Those companies have generally made the payments requested of them by the Company on an ongoing basis. The Company, AT&T and Nokia are currently discussing a final reconciliation of the Divestiture Agreement Offsets, but the timing for a final reconciliation is uncertain.

The final reconciliation of the Funding Agreement Receivable and the Divestiture Agreement Offsets could result in additional expenditures and liabilities for the Company that could be material. As of December 31, 2024, we haveno remaining liability for remedial obligations for the Fox River matter. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the liability subject to final reconciliation with indemnitors under the Divestiture Agreement was approximately $23 million and $22 million, respectively.

Kalamazoo River In November 2010, The United States Environmental Protection Agency (“USEPA”) issued a “general notice letter” to the Company with respect to the Allied Paper, Inc./Portage Creek/Kalamazoo River Superfund Site (“Kalamazoo River site”) in Michigan. USEPA asserted that the site is contaminated by various substances, primarily PCBs, as a result of discharges by various paper mills located along the river. USEPA did not claim that the Company made direct discharges into the Kalamazoo River, and the Company never had facilities at or near the Kalamazoo River site, but USEPA indicated that “NCR may be liable under Section 107 of CERCLA ... as an arranger, who by contract or agreement, arranged for the disposal, treatment and/or transportation of hazardous substances at the Site.” USEPA stated that it “may issue special notice letters to [NCR] and other PRPs for future RI/FS [remedial investigation / feasibility studies] and RD/RA [remedial design / remedial action] negotiations.”

In December 2010, the Company, along withtwo other defendants, was sued in federal court bythree Georgia-Pacific (“GP”) affiliate corporations in a private-party contribution and cost recovery action for alleged pollution at the Kalamazoo River site. On September 26, 2013, the court issued a decision that held the Company was liable as an “arranger” as of at least March 1969. (PCB-containing carbonless copy paper was produced from approximately 1954 to April 1971, and the majority of contamination at the Kalamazoo River site had occurred prior to 1969). In a ruling following a second trial on the allocation of liability issued on March 29, 2018, the court fixed the past cost amount at approximately $50 million (plus interest to be determined) and the Company and GP were each assigned a 40% share of those costs, and the othertwo companies were assigned 15% and 5% as their allocations. The court entered final judgment in the case on June 19, 2018, in which it indicated that it would not allocate future costs, but would enter a declaratory judgment that the four companies together had responsibility for future costs, in amounts and shares to be determined.

In July 2018, the Company appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit both the 2013 court decision and the 2018 court decision on various legal grounds. The Company filed a bond to stay execution of the judgment pending appeal and execution of the judgment was stayed until the Company filed its dismissal of the appeal on December 31, 2020 pursuant to the Consent Decree noted below.

During the pendency of the Sixth Circuit stay, the Company negotiated a settlement of the Kalamazoo River matter with the USEPA and other government agencies having oversight over the river.

On December 5, 2019, the Company entered into a Consent Decree with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“USEPA”) and other government agencies having oversight over the Kalamazoo River and the District Court having jurisdiction over this matter approved the Consent Decree later that month. The Consent Decree requires the Company to pay GP a 40% share of past costs, to pay the USEPA and state agencies their past and future administrative costs, and take responsibility for the remediation of a portion, but not all, of the Kalamazoo River. The Consent Decree further required the Company to dismiss the pending Sixth Circuit appeal. The Consent Decree provides the Company protection from other potentially responsible parties, including GP, seeking contribution for their costs associated with the clean-up anywhere on the Kalamazoo River, thereby resolving the allocation of future costs left unresolved by prior litigation.

The Company believes it has meritorious claims against BAT under the Cost Sharing Agreement, discussed above, for the Kalamazoo River remediation expenses as a so-called “future site.” To date, BAT disputes that the Kalamazoo River is a “future site.” In February 2023, the Company filed an action against BAT in the Southern District of New York seeking a declaration that the Kalamazoo River is indeed a “future site” under the Cost Sharing Agreement. In June 2023, BAT filed an answer asserting counterclaims in the proceedings. On September 14, 2024, the Court entered an opinion stating that the Kalamazoo River is a “future site” within the meaning of the Cost Sharing Agreement. The case remains pending with respect to BAT’s remaining counterclaims and affirmative defenses. In December 2022, the Company met the contractual threshold set forth in the 1996 Divestiture Agreement for the Kalamazoo River matter and as a result also has indemnity or reimbursement claims against AT&T and Nokia.

In November 2023, the USEPA issued a conditional approval for a work plan to remediate one area of the Kalamazoo River (referred to by USEPA as Area 4) for which the Company has remediation responsibility. The conditional approval provided the Company with sufficient information to estimate the cost of the first phase of remediation for this area of the river and necessitated an increase in the Kalamazoo reserve. Subsequently, USEPA provided further clarification about the conditions with respect to completing the second phase of the work plan that could substantially increase the costs of remediation. The Company does not believe the scope of work for this second phase is its responsibility under the Consent Decree or the National Contingency Plan. In March 2024, the Company filed a Notice of Dispute with the USEPA objecting to the scope of work for Area 4 as being inconsistent with the National Contingency Plan and contrary to the requirements of the Consent Decree. In June 2024, the Company reached a tentative agreement with the USEPA that will satisfactorily address the Company’s cost concerns and in October 2024, the Company submitted a work plan to the USEPA for approval. In connection with the submittal of the work plan, an updated engineering estimate was developed, which necessitated an increase in the Kalamazoo reserve. The submitted work plan is subject to USEPA approval and if an Area 4 work plan cannot be finalized, the costs to remediate Area 4 could increase substantially.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the total reserve for the Kalamazoo River was $148 million and $141 million, respectively. The reserve is reported on a basis that is net of expected contributions from the Company’s co-obligors and indemnitors, subject to when the applicable threshold is reached. While the Company believes its co-obligors’ and indemnitors’ obligations are as previously reported, the reserve may be adjusted from time to time to reflect changes in our estimates of remediation costs and recoverability from co-obligors and indemnitors with respect to the Kalamazoo River.

As many aspects of the costs of remediation will not be determined for several years (and thus the high end of a range of possible costs for many areas of the site cannot be quantified at this time), the Company has made what it considers to be reasonable estimates of the low end of a range for such costs where remedies are identified, and/or estimates of the costs of investigations and studies for areas of the Kalamazoo River where remedies have not yet been determined, and the reserve is informed by those estimates. The extent of the Company’s potential liability remains subject to many uncertainties, notwithstanding the Consent Decree noted above, particularly in as much as remedy decisions and cost estimates will not be generated until future time periods and as most of the work to be performed will take place through the 2030s. Under other assumptions and estimates for possible costs of remediation, which the Company does not at this point consider to be reasonably estimable or verifiable, it is possible that the reserve the Company has taken to discontinued operations with respect to the Kalamazoo River could more than approximately double the reflected reserve.

Ebina The Company has completed all regulatory compliance activities in connection with certain environmental contaminants generated in its past operations in Japan. The Company once had quantities of PCB and other wastes primarily from its former plant at Oiso, Japan, including capsulated undiluted solutions manufactured in the past, capacitors, light ballasts and PCB-affected soil from the Oiso plant that was excavated and placed in steel drums. These wastes were stored in a facility at Ebina, Japan in accordance with Japanese regulations governing such materials.

The reserve as of both December 31, 2024 and 2023 waszero. The Japan environmental waste issue is treated as a compliance matter and not as litigation or enforcement, and the Company has received no threats of litigation or enforcement. NCR Atleos does not have any indemnification obligations to the Company in connection with the Ebina matter, and this remediation was completed during 2024.

Environmental-Related Insurance Recoveries In connection with the Fox River, Kalamazoo River and other environmental sites, through December 31, 2024, the Company has received a combined gross total of approximately $212 million in settlements reached with various of its insurance carriers. Some of the settlements cover not only the Fox River but also other environmental sites; some are limited to either the Fox River or the Kalamazoo River site. Some of the settlements are directed to defense costs and some are directed to indemnity; some settlements cover both defense costs and indemnity. The Company does not anticipate that further material insurance recoveries specific to Kalamazoo River remediation costs will be available in the future.

Environmental Remediation Estimates It is difficult to estimate the future financial impact of environmental laws, including potential liabilities. The Company records environmental provisions when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount or range of the liability is reasonably estimable; in accordance with accounting guidance, where liabilities are not expected to be quantifiable or estimable for a period of years, the estimated costs of investigating those liabilities are recorded as a component of the reserve for that particular site. Provisions for estimated losses from environmental restoration and remediation are, depending on the site, based generally on internal and third-party environmental studies, estimates as to the number and participation level of other PRPs, the extent of contamination, estimated amounts for attorney and other fees, and the nature of required clean-up and restoration actions. Reserves are adjusted as further information develops or circumstances change. Management expects that the amounts reserved from time to time will be paid out over the period of investigation, negotiation, remediation and restoration for the applicable sites. The amounts recorded for environmental matters in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements are the estimated gross undiscounted amounts of such liabilities, without deductions for indemnity insurance, third-party indemnity claims or recoveries from other PRPs, except in the event certain criteria supporting the probability of receipt of payment from such third parties is met. For the Fox River and Kalamazoo River sites, as described above, assets relating to the AT&T and Nokia indemnities and to the BAT obligations are recorded as payments are supported by contractual agreements, public filings, payment history, and other factors.

Guarantees and Product Warranties In the ordinary course of business, the Company may issue performance guarantees on behalf of its subsidiaries to certain of its customers and other parties. Some of those guarantees may be backed by standby letters of credit, surety bonds, or similar instruments. In general, under the guarantees, the Company would be obligated to perform, or cause performance, over the term of the underlying contract in the event of an unexcused, uncured breach by its subsidiary, or some other specified triggering event, in each case as defined by the applicable guarantee. The Company believes the likelihood of having to perform under any such guarantee is remote. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had no material obligations related to such guarantees, and therefore its Consolidated Financial Statements do not have any associated liability balance.

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. When a sale is consummated, the total customer revenue is recognized, provided that all revenue recognition criteria are otherwise satisfied, and the associated warranty liability is recorded using pre-established warranty percentages for the respective product classes. Warranty reserve liabilities are presented in Other current liabilities and Other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

From time to time, product design or quality corrections are accomplished through modification programs. When identified, associated costs of labor and parts for such programs are estimated and accrued as part of the warranty reserve.

In addition, the Company provides its customers with certain indemnification rights, subject to certain limitations and exceptions. In some cases, the Company agrees to defend and indemnify its customers from third-party lawsuits alleging patent or other infringement of Company solutions based on its customers’ use of them. On limited occasions the Company will undertake to indemnify a customer for business, rather than contractual, reasons. From time to time, the Company also enters into agreements in connection with its acquisition and divestiture activities that include indemnification obligations by the Company. The fair value of these indemnification obligations is not readily determinable due to the conditional nature of the Company’s potential obligations, certain limitations to liability and indemnity exclusions that appear in certain of the Company’s agreements, and the specific facts and circumstances involved with each particular agreement. Historically, the Company has not recorded a liability in connection with these indemnifications. From time to time the Company has provided indemnification under these circumstances, none of which has resulted in material liabilities, and the Company expects these indemnities will continue to arise in the future.

Purchase Commitments The Company has purchase commitments for materials, supplies, services, and property, plant and equipment as part of the normal course of business. This includes a long-term service agreement with Accenture, under which many of the Company’s key transaction processing activities and functions are performed.

13. SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK

On December 4, 2015, the Company issued 820,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to certain entities affiliated with the Blackstone Group L.P. (collectively, “Blackstone”) for an aggregate purchase price of $820 million, or $1,000 per share, pursuant to an Investment Agreement between the Company and Blackstone, dated November 11, 2015. In connection with the issuance of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company incurred direct and incremental expenses of $26 million, including financial advisory fees, closing costs, legal expenses and other offering-related expenses. These direct and incremental expenses originally reduced the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and will be accreted through retained earnings as a deemed dividend from the date of issuance through the first possible known redemption date, March 16, 2024.

In 2017, in connection with the early release of the lock-up included in the Investment Agreement, Blackstone offered for sale 342,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in an underwritten public offering. In addition, Blackstone converted 90,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of our common stock and we repurchased those shares of common stock for $48.47 per share. The underwritten offering and the stock repurchase were consummated on March 17, 2017.

On September 18, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to repurchase and convert the outstanding 512,221 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock owned by Blackstone. The Company repurchased 237,673 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for total cash consideration of $302 million. The remaining shares of Blackstone’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, including accrued dividends, were converted to approximately 9.2 million shares of common stock at a conversion price of $30.00 per share.

For the repurchase of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the excess of the fair value of consideration transferred over the carrying value was approximately $67 million, and has been included as a deemed dividend in adjusting the income from common stockholders in calculating earnings per share. In this analysis, we determined the fair value of the consideration transferred was not in excess of the fair value of the redeemed Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. As a result, there was no inducement provided to Blackstone for the conversion of the remaining preferred shares into common stock.

On October 6, 2020, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to repurchase 67,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock from two affiliated shareholders for a total cash consideration of $72 million. The transaction closed on October 7, 2020. On October 12, 2020, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to repurchase 65,365 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock owned by two affiliated shareholders for a total cash consideration of $72 million. The transaction closed on October 13, 2020. The excess of the fair value of consideration transferred over the carrying value was approximately $12 million, and has been included as a deemed dividend in adjusting the income from common stockholders in calculating earnings per share.

Dividend Rights The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ranks senior to the shares of the Company’s common stock, with respect to dividend rights and rights on the distribution of assets on any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. Holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to a cumulative dividend at the rate of 5.5% per annum, which was payable quarterly in arrears. Beginning in the first quarter of 2020, dividends are payable in cash or in-kind at the option of the Company. If the Company does not declare and pay a dividend, the dividend rate will increase to 8.0% per annum until all accrued but unpaid dividends have been paid in full. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company didnot pay dividends-in-kind associated with the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Cash dividends of$15 million were declared during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

Conversion Features Prior to the close of business on October 17, 2023, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was convertible at the option of the holders at any time into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $30.00 per share or a conversion rate of 33.333 shares of common stock per share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. As a result of the Spin-Off, the conversion rate of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was adjusted pursuant to its terms to 57.560 shares of common stock per share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, effective immediately after the close of business on October 17, 2023. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the maximum number of common shares that could be required to be issued upon conversion of the outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was 15.9 million shares. The conversion rate is subject to the following customary anti-dilution and other adjustments:

•the issuance of common stock as a dividend or the subdivision, combination, or reclassification of common stock into a greater or lesser number of shares of common stock;

•the dividend, distribution or other issuance of rights, options or warrants to holders of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of common stock at a price per share that is less than the volume-weighted average price per share of common stock;

•the completion of a tender offer or exchange offer of shares of common stock at a premium to the volume-weighted average price per share of common stock and certain other above-market purchases of common stock;

•the issuance of a dividend or similar distribution in-kind, which can include shares of any class of capital stock, evidences of the Company’s indebtedness, assets or other property or securities, to holders of common stock;

•a transaction in which a subsidiary of the Company ceases to be a subsidiary of the Company as a result of the distribution of the equity interests of the subsidiary to the holders of the Company’s common stock; and

•the payment of a cash dividend to the holders of common stock.

All outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible at the option of the Company if the volume-weighted average price of the common stock exceeds $54.00 for at least 30 trading days in any period of 45 consecutive trading days. The $54.00 may be adjusted pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions above.

The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and the associated dividends for the first sixteen payments, did not generate a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) upon issuance as the fair value of the Company’s common stock was greater than the conversion price. The Company will determine and, if required, measure a BCF based on the fair value of our stock price on the date dividends are declared subsequent to the sixteenth dividend. If a BCF is recognized, a reduction to retained earnings and the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will be recorded, and then subsequently accreted through the first redemption date.

Additionally, the Company determined that the nature of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was more akin to an equity instrument and that the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded conversion options were clearly and closely related to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. As such, the conversion options were not required to be bifurcated from the host under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging.

Redemption Rights On any date during the three months commencing on and immediately following March 16, 2024 and the three months commencing on and immediately following every third anniversary of March 16, 2024, holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any portion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at 100% of the liquidation preference thereof plus all accrued but unpaid dividends. Upon certain change of control events involving the Company, holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock can require the Company to repurchase, subject to certain exceptions, all or any portion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at the greater of (1) an amount in cash equal to 100% of the liquidation preference thereof plus all accrued but unpaid dividends and (2) the consideration the holders would have received if they had converted their shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into common stock immediately prior to the change of control event.

The Company has the right, upon certain change of control events involving the Company, to redeem the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at the greater of (1) an amount in cash equal to the sum of the liquidation preference of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, all accrued but unpaid dividends and the present value, discounted at a rate of 10%, of any remaining scheduled dividends through the fifth anniversary of the first dividend payment date, assuming the Company chose to pay such dividends in cash (the “make-whole provision”) and (2) the consideration the holders would have received if they had converted their shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into common stock immediately prior to the change of control event.

Since the redemption of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is contingently or optionally redeemable and therefore not certain to occur, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is not required to be classified as a liability under ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. As the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is redeemable in certain circumstances at the option of the holder and is redeemable in certain circumstances upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within our control, we have classified the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in mezzanine equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As noted above, the Company determined that the nature of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was more akin to an equity instrument. However, the Company determined that the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded put options, call option and make-whole provision were not clearly and closely related to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Therefore, the Company assessed the put and call options further, and determined they did not meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Under the same analysis, the Company determined the make-whole provision did meet the definition of a derivative, but that the value of the derivative was minimal due to the expectations surrounding the scenarios under which the call option and make-whole provision would be exercised.

Voting Rights Holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to vote with the holders of the common stock on an as-converted basis. Holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to a separate class vote with respect to amendments to the Company’s organizational documents that have an adverse effect on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and issuances by the Company of securities that are senior to, or equal in priority with, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

14. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income or loss attributable to NCR Voyix, less any dividends (declared or cumulative undeclared), deemed dividends, accretion or decretion, redemption or induced conversion on our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.

In computing diluted EPS, we evaluate and reflect the maximum potential dilution, for each issue or series of issues of potential common shares in sequence from the most dilutive to the least dilutive. We adjust the numerator used in the basic EPS computation, subject to anti-dilution requirements, to add back the dividends (declared or cumulative undeclared) applicable to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Such add-back would also include any adjustments to equity in the period to accrete the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to its redemption price, or recorded upon a redemption or induced conversion. We adjust the denominator used in the basic EPS computation, subject to anti-dilution requirements, to include the dilution from potential shares resulting from the issuance of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, restricted stock units, and stock options.

The holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, unvested restricted stock units and stock options do not have non-forfeitable rights to common stock dividends or common stock dividend equivalents. Accordingly, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, unvested restricted stock units and stock options do not qualify as participating securities. See Note 9, “Stock Compensation Plans”, for share information on NCR Voyix’s stock compensation plans.

The components of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are as follows:

For 2024, due to the net loss from continuing operations attributable to NCR Voyix common stockholders, potential common shares that would cause dilution, such as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, restricted stock units and stock options, were excluded from the diluted share count because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. The weighted average outstanding shares of common stock were not adjusted by 15.9 million for the as-if converted Series A Convertible Preferred Stock because the effect would be anti-dilutive. Additionally, for 2024, weighted average restricted stock units and stock options of 10.1 million were excluded from the diluted share count because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Refer to Note 13, “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock”, for additional discussion related to the transaction impacting the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

For 2023, due to the net loss from continuing operations attributable to NCR Voyix common stockholders, potential common shares that would cause dilution, such as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, restricted stock units and stock options, were excluded from the diluted share count because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. The weighted average outstanding shares of common stock were not adjusted by 10.6 million for the as-if converted Series A Convertible Preferred Stock because the effect would be anti-dilutive. Additionally, for 2023, weighted average restricted stock units and stock options of 12.1 million were excluded from the diluted share count because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

For 2022, due to the net loss from continuing operations attributable to NCR Voyix common stockholders, potential common shares that would cause dilution, such as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, restricted stock units and stock options, were excluded from the diluted share count because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. The weighted average outstanding shares of common stock were not adjusted by 9.2 million for the as-if converted Series A Convertible Preferred Stock because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. Additionally, for 2022, weighted average restricted stock units and stock options of 11.0 million were excluded from the diluted share count because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

15. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING INSTRUMENTS

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both our business operations and economic conditions. We principally manage exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risk through management of core business activities. We manage interest rate risk by managing the amount, sources, and duration of debt funding. The Company has historically used interest rate cap agreements or interest rate swap contracts (“Interest Rate Derivatives”) to manage differences in the amount, timing and duration of known or expected cash payments related to our floating rate-debt agreements.

Further, a portion of our operations and revenue occur outside the United States and, as such, the Company has exposure to approximately 30 functional currencies. Our results can be significantly impacted, both positively and negatively, by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company seeks to mitigate such impact by hedging its foreign currency transaction exposure using foreign currency forward and option contracts. We do not enter into hedges for speculative purposes.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk We utilize foreign exchange contracts to hedge our exposure of assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies. We recognize the gains and losses on these types of hedges in earnings as exchange rates change.

Historically, our risk management strategy included hedging, on behalf of certain subsidiaries, a portion of our forecasted, non-functional currency denominated cash flows for a period of up to 15 months. If the hedge was designated as a highly effective cash flow hedge, the gains or losses were deferred into accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). The gains or losses from derivative contracts that were designated as highly effective cash flow hedges related to inventory purchases were recorded in cost of products when the inventory is sold to an unrelated third party. Otherwise, they were recorded in earnings when the exchange rates change. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the balance in AOCI related to foreign exchange derivative transactions waszero.

The accounting guidance for derivatives and hedging requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company designates foreign exchange contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions when they are determined to be highly effective at inception.

Interest Rate Risk We historically utilized interest rate swap contracts or interest rate cap agreements to add stability to interest cost and to manage exposure to interest rate movements as part of our interest rate risk management strategy.

The Company designates Interest Rate Derivative contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions when they are determined to be highly effective at inception. Payments and receipts related to Interest Rate Derivatives are included in cash flows from operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

In March 2022, the Company terminated the outstanding $2 billion notional amount interest rate cap agreements maturing in 2024 for proceeds of $64 million.

In March 2022, the Company executed $2.2 billion aggregate notional amount interest rate swap contracts that began April 1, 2022 and had an original termination date of April 1, 2025. These interest rate swap contracts had fixed rates ranging from 2.078% to 2.443%, and were designated as cash flow hedges of the floating rate interest associated with the Company’s previous TLA Facility.

In June 2022, the Company terminated the outstanding $2.4 billion aggregate notional interest rate swap contracts maturing in 2025 for proceeds of $55 million.

As of September 30, 2023, it was determined that the transactions underlying the unrealized gains on terminated interest rate swap agreement for the previous TLA facility reported in Accumulated other comprehensive income were probable of not occurring under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. As such, $18 million of unrealized gains were recognized in Interest Expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the balance in AOCI related to Interest Rate Derivatives waszero.

The following tables provide information on the location and amounts of derivative fair values in the Consolidated Balance Sheets:

The effects of derivative instruments on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 were as follows:

The following tables show the impact of the Company’s cash flow hedge accounting relationships on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022.

Refer to Note 16, “Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities”, for further information on derivative assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company is potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk on accounts receivable and financial instruments such as hedging instruments and cash and cash equivalents. Credit risk includes the risk of nonperformance by counterparties. The maximum potential loss may exceed the amount recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Exposure to credit risk is managed through credit approvals, credit limits, selecting major international financial institutions as counterparties to hedging transactions and monitoring procedures. The Company’s business often involves large transactions with customers, and if one or more of those customers were to default on its obligations under applicable contractual arrangements, the Company could be exposed to potentially significant losses. However, management believes that the reserves for potential losses are adequate. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have any major concentration of credit risk related to financial instruments.

16. FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 are set forth as follows:

(1)Included in Prepaid and other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(2)Included in Other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Foreign Exchange Contracts As a result of our global operating activities, we are exposed to risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, which may adversely affect our financial condition. To manage our exposures and mitigate the impact of currency fluctuations on our financial results, we hedge our primary transactional exposures through the use of foreign exchange forward and option contracts. The foreign exchange contracts are valued using the market approach based on observable market transactions of forward rates and are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

We incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we consider the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements. We measure the credit risk of our derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio.

Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments utilize Level 3 inputs to evaluate the likelihood of both our own default and counterparty default. As of December 31, 2024, we determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives and therefore, the valuations are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis

From time to time, certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Company measures certain assets, including intangible assets and cost and equity method investments, at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets are recognized at fair value when initially valued and when deemed to be impaired. Additionally, the Company reviews the carrying values of investments when events and circumstances warrant and considers all available evidence in evaluating when declines in fair value are other-than-temporary declines. The Company carries equity investments in privately-held companies at cost or at fair value when the Company recognizes an other-than-temporary impairment charge. No material impairment charges or non-recurring fair value adjustments were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2024, December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
