EQS-Adhoc: Diebold Nixdorf reports 2023 first quarter financial results and updates guidance / Ongoing conversations with banking and lending partners

May 3, 2023 – Hudson, Ohio, United States of America – Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated (ISIN: US2536511031, the “Company”) today reports its first quarter 2023 financial results and updates its guidance. In the first quarter of 2023, total revenue amounted to $858.1 million, representing a $28.3 million (3.4%) increase from the prior-year period, or an 8.7% increase excluding the impact of foreign currency and divestitures, primarily due to strong banking unit volume. Gross profit was at $209.3 million, a 13% improvement from the prior-year period. The Company is in ongoing conversations with banking and lending partners to address short- and long-term liquidity needs and capital structure, deleveraging the balance sheet and continuing to normalize vendor relationships to deliver for its customers.  It is expected that any resulting deleveraging transaction will substantially or fully dilute shareholder equity.

Summary financial results (unaudited) were as follows:

• Total net sales increased 3.4%, or $28.3 million year-over-year, primarily due to strong banking unit volume

• Non-GAAP operating profit rose to $50.0 million and Non-GAAP operating margin increased 600 bps to 5.9% due primarily to increased sales, a reduction in inflationary costs, and costs savings measures.

¹ - Please see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for information regarding the Company’s use of non-GAAP financial measures.

² - Represents Diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated.

• Free cash use of $100.5 million in the first quarter 2023 was favorable by $133.9 million versus the prior year quarter reflecting improved profitability and timing of disbursements.

Based on quarterly results, the Company updates its FY 2023 outlook as stated below. The outlook is contingent upon the Company’s ability to successfully navigate bank and lender conversations regarding the short and long-term liquidity and capital structure and assumes a full year of uninterrupted operations.

¹ - With respect to the Company’s adjusted EBITDA outlook for 2023, the Company is not providing a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty those items that may affect such measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP without unreasonable effort. These measures primarily exclude future restructuring and refinancing actions and net non-routine items. These reconciling items are uncertain, depend on various factors and could significantly impact, either individually or in the aggregate, operating profit and net income calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Please see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information regarding the Company’s use of non-GAAP financial measures.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company considers certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, including non-GAAP results, adjusted diluted earnings per share, free cash flow (use) and unlevered free cash flow (use), net debt, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and constant currency results. The Company calculates constant currency by translating the prior year results at current year exchange rates. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to evaluate its operating and financial performance and to compare such performance to that of prior periods and to the performance of its competitors. Also, the Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making operational and financial decisions and in establishing operational goals. The Company also believes providing these non-GAAP financial measures to investors, as a supplement to GAAP financial measures, helps investors evaluate its operating and financial performance and trends in its business, consistent with how management evaluates such performance and trends. The Company also believes these non-GAAP financial measures may be useful to investors in comparing its performance to the performance of other companies, although its non-GAAP financial measures are specific to the Company and the non-GAAP financial measures of other companies may not be calculated in the same manner. The Company provides EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because it believes that investors and securities analysts will find EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to be useful measures for evaluating its operating performance and comparing its operating performance with that of similar companies that have different capital structures and for evaluating its ability to meet its future debt service, capital expenditure and working capital requirements. The Company considers free cash flow (use) to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business that, after the purchase of property and equipment and capitalized software development, changes in cash of assets held for sale and the use of cash for M&A and the legal settlement for impaired cloud implementation costs, and excluding the use/proceeds of cash for the settlement of foreign exchange derivative instruments, can be used for debt servicing, strategic opportunities, including investing in the business, making strategic acquisitions, strengthening the balance sheet and paying dividends. Unlevered free cash flow (use) provides incremental visibility into the Company’s liquidity by excluding cash used for interest payments from free cash flow (use).
