“NCR Atleos delivered another excellent quarter. We made significant strategic progress and expanded revenue per machine through rapidly growing new transaction types, adding new customers, and capturing more service revenue from our financial institution clients. We operated exceptionally well and improved customer performance metrics, while simultaneously working to eliminate inefficiencies associated with our separation transaction. And, importantly, we reported financial results that were better than anticipated and that allow us to again affirm our full year 2024 guidance,” said Tim Oliver, President and Chief Executive Officer. “I am grateful to the 20,000 Atleos employees around the world that enabled this performance,” Mr. Oliver continued. “As we plan for 2025, our outlook is positive. We expect to see higher demand for hardware driven by both a typical replacement calendar and a desire for more capable ATMs with recycling, tap and other technologies. The outsourcing of non-core, ATM-centric services by our financial institution clients is accelerating as they transform their branch infrastructure to both manage costs and improve their customer’s experience. The model of a shared financial utility of networked ATM’s is getting increasing attention from banks and consumers are conducting more of their regular banking at our blue-chip retail locations. Our strategy to generate more revenue from each of the 600,000 ATMs that Atleos serves is working,” Mr. Oliver concluded.
