We have an internal intranet, called The Exchange, to keep employees informed about key changes to our business, new product launches and progress on our DN Now transformationstrategic initiatives.
Our employees have demonstrated tremendous resilience and continued vigilance throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. They provided strong support levels to customers while taking excellent care of one another and making sure their teams remained connected. For example:
•employees at our plant in Manaus, Brazil, assembled and distributed food, masks, sanitizer and thermometers to their
colleagues;
•employees in North Canton, Ohio, used our 3D printers to make PPE for first responders; and
•employees in Paderborn, Germany built ventilators to be used in hospitals in cooperation with a German medical device manufacturer.

Additionally, the Company has continually improved and standardized our employee review process – encouraging regular performance reviews and feedback that will set clear expectations, motivate employees and reinforce the connection between pay and performance. In 2021, we are expandingexpanded our global talent review program for talent development and succession planning to go deeper into our organization below senior leadership roles.
Health, Safety and Wellness
Throughout our history, we have maintained our commitment to providing a safe workplace that protects against and limits personal injury and environmental harm. We follow international standards and regulations for product safety and security. Our Design-For-Quality approach covers R&D Quality, Manufacturing Quality and Supplier Quality. During the course of product development, these functions regularly participate in solution requirements and specification reviews. In the later phases of development, we define and perform various tests to ensure Product Safety and Security. We evaluate risks using both government-required procedures and best practices to ensure we understand residual risk and appropriately protect our employees. Frequent training ensures that specialists are informed promptly about legal and internal requirements.
Additionally, since the global outbreak of COVID-19, we have continued to evaluate and enhance our health, safety, and wellness protocols. Our designation as an essential service provider in numerous locations around the world required us to respond and address health and safety issues in real time. We have addressed these challenges with the following measures:
•Implementingimplementing our comprehensive Pandemic Response Plan to ensure the continuity of our operations while protecting the health and safety of our people.people;

PRODUCT BACKLOG
The Company's product backlog was $981$1,087 and $796$981 as of December 31, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively. The backlog generally includes orders estimated or projected to be shipped or installed within 18 months. Although the Company believes the orders included in the backlog are firm and are sometimes paid in advance, some orders may be canceled by customers without penalty, and the Company may elect to permit cancellation of orders without penalty where management believes it is in the Company's best interests to do so. Historically, the Company has not experienced significant cancellations within its product backlog. Additionally, over 50 percent of the Company's revenues are derived from its service business, for which backlog information is not measured. Therefore, the Company does not believe that its product backlog, as of any particular date, is necessarily indicative of revenues for any future period.
PATENTS, TRADEMARKS, LICENSES
The Company owns patents, trademarks and licenses relating to certain products across the globe. While the Company regards
these as items of importance, it does not deem its business as a whole, or any industry segment, to be materially dependent upon any one item or group of items. The Company intends to protect and defend its intellectual property, including pursuit of infringing third parties for damages and other appropriate remedies.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
As a company with global operations, we are subject to complex foreign and U.S. laws and regulations, including trade regulations, tariffs, import and export regulations, anti-bribery and corruption laws, antitrust or competition laws, data privacy laws, such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (the GDPR), and environmental regulations, among others. We have policies and procedures in place to promote compliance with these laws and regulations. Notwithstanding their complexity, our compliance with these laws and regulations, including environmental regulations, generally, does not, and is not expected to, have a material effect on our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position. Government regulations are subject to change, and accordingly we are unable to assess the possible effect of compliance with future requirements or whether our compliance with such regulations will materially impact our business in the future.

ITEM 1A: RISK FACTORS
(dollars and euros in millions, except for per share values)
The following are certain risk factors that could affect the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows. These risk factors should be considered in connection with evaluating the forward-looking statements contained in this annual report on Form 10-K because they could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. The risk factors highlighted below are not the only ones the Company faces. Although the risks are organized by headings, and each risk is discussed separately, many are interrelated. Readers should not interpret the disclosure of any risk factor to imply that the risk has not already materialized. If any of these events actually occur, the Company's business, financial condition, operating results or cash flows could be negatively affected.
The Company cautions the reader to keep these risk factors in mind and refrain from attributing undue certainty to any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this annual report on Form 10-K.
Strategic and Operational Risks.
The COVID-19 pandemic creates uncertainty and could have a material adverse impact on our business.While the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected our operations and financial results, our business has demonstrated a certain degree of resiliency in the COVID-19 pandemic given our work as an essential service provider to banks and essential retailers. Nonetheless, known or unexpected risks or developments related to the pandemic could have a material and adverse impact on our business, financial position and results of operations. If conditions worsen, resulting in additional or unexpected challenges, the COVID-19 pandemic could materially and negatively impact one or more of the following aspects of our business: our global supply chain;chain, including our ability to maintain adequate component supply; transportation and shipping; our manufacturing facilities; our service technicians in the field; our employees working remotely or in our offices; and the businesses of our customers. Additionally, any worsening of the pandemic, including as a result of new variants, could cause additional and material delays in installations, certifications or other time-sensitive aspects of our business. As we cannot predict the duration or scope of the COVID-19 pandemic, the continuing negative impact to our financial position, results of operations and cash flows cannot be reasonably estimated, but could be material.
While the Company has achieved significant savings from its DN Now initiatives, these savings may not be sustainable, and further savings targets may be delayed or might not be fully realized, which may adversely affect its operating results and cash flow.The Company’s DN Now initiatives consistconsisted of a number of work streams designed to improve operational efficiency and sustainably increase profits and cash flows. Although the Company has achieved a substantial amount of annual cost savings associated with the DN Now initiatives in 2019 and 2020 and expects to achieve further cost savings through new initiatives, such as the digital acceleration work being done with Accenture,2021, it may be unable to sustain the annual cost savings from the work streams that it has previously implementedimplemented. and may be unable to successfully implement these new work streams, which are still in the early stages, on the anticipated timeline, or at all. The Company has incurred approximately $330, in the aggregate,of cash payments related to DN Now and expects to make additional payments in 2021. In 2021, the Company intends to focus on higher free cash flow conversion and growth, despite the uncertain COVID-19 environment. If the Company is unable to achieve, or experiences any delays in achieving, the DN Now goals, or if the associated costs are higher than currently anticipated, its results of operations and cash flows may be adversely affected. Even if the Company successfully executes these work streams and meets its DN Now goals, other factors that we cannot predict may offset the expected financial benefits of these initiatives.
New service and product developments may be unsuccessful. The Company is constantly looking to develop new services and products that complement or leverage its core competencies and expand its business potential. For example, the Company launched its DN Series banking solutions portfolio in 2019, and its DN Series EASY family of retail checkout solutions in 2020, and EV charging stations services in 2021. The Company makes significant investments in service and product technologies and anticipates expending significant resources for new cloud software, digitally enabled services and product development over the next several years. There can be no assurance that the Company’s service and product development efforts will be successful, that the roll out of any new services and products will be timely, that the customer certification process for any new products or the DN Series will be completed on the anticipated timeline, that it will be able to successfully market these services and products, or that margins generated from sales of these services and products will recover costs of development efforts.
The Company may not be successful executing on its digitally enabled hardware, services and software strategy. As part of its broader business strategy, the Company is delivering digitally enabled hardware, services and software to its customers to address their evolving demand for greater flexibility and optionality to meet the demands of the market, drive improvement to performance levels and provide a more scalable cost structure. The Company’s digital strategy extends to its own internal capabilities, as well, to ensure the Company becomes more efficient and delivers better capabilities to its employees. Across its internal finance, information technology, human resources and sales departments, the Company is deploying digital tools to enhance its operating efficiency through the use of cloud-based applications, self-service portals and automation. Executing on a digitally enabled strategy presents risks and challenges to both the Company and its customers, and there can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in its endeavors.
The Company may not be able to generate sufficient cash flows to fund its operations and make adequate capital investments. The Company’s cash flows from operations depend primarily on sales and service margins. To develop new service and product technologies, support future growth, achieve operating efficiencies and maintain service and product
quality, the Company must make significant capital investments in manufacturing technology, facilities and capital equipment, R&D, and service and product technology. In addition to cash provided from operations, the Company has from time to time utilized external sources of financing. Depending upon general market conditions or other factors, the Company may not be able to generate sufficient cash flows to fund its operations and make adequate capital investments, either in whole or in part. In addition, any tightening of the credit markets may limit the Company's ability to obtain alternative sources of cash to fund its operations.
Data Privacy and Cybersecurity Risks.
Cybersecurity incidents or vulnerabilities could disrupt the Company's internal operations or services provided to customers, which could adversely affect revenue, increase costs, and harm its reputation, customer relationships, and stock price. To reduce these risks, the Company has programs and measures in place designed to detect and help safeguard against cybersecurity attacks. Although we have implemented cybersecurity measures designed to detect and limit the risk of unauthorized access to our systems and acquisition of, loss, modification of, use, or disclosure of our data, threat actors are using evolving, sophisticated, and ever-changing techniques to obtain unauthorized access to systems and data. The types and motivations of threat actors that may attempt to access our systems also are evolving and expanding, and include sophisticated nation-state sponsored and organized cyber-criminals, who are targeting the financial services industry. As a result, the risk of cyberattack is increasing. An attack, disruption, intrusion, denial of service, theft or other data or cybersecurity incident (such as phishing attack, virus, ransomware, or other malware installation), or an inadvertent act by an employee or contractor, could result in unauthorized access to, acquisition of, loss, disclosure, or modification of, our systems, products, and data (or our third-party service provider’s systems, products, and data), which may result in operational disruption, loss of business, claims (including by customers, financial institutions, cardholders, and consumers), costs and reputational harm that could negatively affect our operating results. The Company could incur significant expenses in investigating and addressing cybersecurity incidents, including the expenses of deploying additional personnel, enhancing or implementing new protection measures, training employees or hiring consultants, and such incidents could divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations. Further, remedial measures may later prove inadequate to prevent or reduce the impact of new or emerging threats. The Company may face regulatory investigations or litigation relating to cybersecurity incidents, which may be costly to defend and which, if successful, may require the Company to pay damages and fines or change its business practices. The Company also is subject to risks associated with cyberattacks involving our supply chain. We may also detect, or may receive notice from third parties (including governmental agencies and those in our supply chain) regarding, potential vulnerabilities in our information technology systems, our products, or third-party products used in conjunction with our products. Even if these potential vulnerabilities do not affect our products, services, data, or systems, their existence or claimed existence could adversely affect customer confidence and our reputation in the marketplace, causing us to lose existing or potential customers. To the extent such vulnerabilities require remediation, such remedial measures could require significant resources, may not be implemented before such vulnerabilities are exploited, and may not prevent or reduce the risk. As the cybersecurity landscape evolves, we may also find it necessary to make significant further investments to protect data and infrastructure. We maintain cybersecurity insurance intended to cover some of these risks, but this insurance may not be sufficient to cover all of our losses from future cybersecurity incidents the Company may experience.
We have experienced cybersecurity incidents in the past, but none of these incidents, individually or in the aggregate, has had a material adverse effect on our business, reputation, operations or products. The Company has in place various information technology protections designed to detect and reduce cybersecurity incidents, although there can be no assurance that our protections will be successful. The Company also regularly evaluates its protections against cybersecurity incidents, including through self-assessments and third-party assessments, and takes steps to enhance those protections, in response to specific threats and as part of the Company’s information security program. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to prevent or remediate all future cybersecurity incidents or that the cost associated with responding to any such incident or impact of such incident will not be significant or material.
Portions of the Company's IT infrastructure also may experience interruptions, delays or cessations of service or produce errors in connection with systems integration or migration work that takes place from time to time. The Company may not be successful in implementing new systems, and transitioning data and other aspects of the process could be expensive, time consuming, disruptive and resource-intensive. Such disruptions could adversely impact the ability to fulfill orders, service customers and interrupt other processes and, in addition, could adversely impact the Company’s ability to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting. Delayed sales, lower margins, lost customers or diminished investor confidence resulting from these disruptions could adversely affect the Company's financial results, stock price and reputation.
PrivacyThe Company’s actual or perceived failure to comply with increasing and increasingly stringent laws, regulations and contractual obligations relating to privacy, data protection and information security could harm its reputation, subject the Company to significant fines and liability or loss of business, and decrease demand for the Company’s services. The Company and its customers are subject to privacy, data protection, and information security laws are complex, and ifregulations (“Data Protection Laws”) in the United States and in jurisdictions around the globe that restrict the collection, use, disclosure, transfer and processing of personal data, including financial data. For example, the Company failsand its customers are subject to the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), the U.K. General Data Protection Regulation, the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), and the Brazilian Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados. Costs to comply with applicablethese Data Protection Laws are significant. Failure to comply with these laws regulationscould result in material legal exposure and standards, or failsbusiness impact, including the loss of customers and decreased demand for our products and services. The GDPR, for example, imposes onerous accountability obligations on companies, with penalties for non-compliance of up to properly maintain the integritygreater of its€20 and four percent of annual global revenue. The GDPR, and other Data Protection Laws, also grant corrective powers to supervisory authorities, including the ability to impose a limit on processing personal data or defend against cybersecurity attacks,ability to order companies to cease operations.
The Data Protection Laws are part of an evolving global data protection landscape in which the Company may be subject to governmentnumber, complexity, requirements, and consequences of non-compliance with these laws are increasing. This landscape includes legislative proposals recently adopted or private actions relating to privacycurrently pending in the United States, at both the federal and security incidentsstate levels (including by banking agencies), as well as in other jurisdictions, implementing new or additional requirements for data protection that could increase compliance costs, the cost and breaches, anycomplexity of which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial conditiondelivering our services, and resultssignificantly affect our business. Additionally, the interpretation and application of operations or materially harm its reputation.The Company is subject to a variety ofnew data protection laws and regulations in Europe, the U.S.many cases is uncertain, and otherour legal and regulatory obligations in such jurisdictions that involve matters central to its business, including privacy, information security, data protection, competition, and consumer protection. The Company, and the personal information and other data that it processes, are increasingly subject to these laws, which are increasingly complex and stringent as the global data protection landscape evolves. These laws may conflict with one another, and many of them are subject to frequent modification and differing interpretations.unexpected changes, including the potential for various regulatory or other governmental bodies to enact new or additional laws or regulations, to issue rulings that invalidate prior laws or regulations, or to increase penalties significantly. Complying with these evolving and varying standards, and implementing the required operational changes as a result of such standards, could require significant expense and effort and may require us to change our business practices or the functionality of our products and services in a manner adverse to our customers and our business. In addition, violations of these laws can result in governmental investigations, significant
fines, penalties, claims by regulators or other third parties, imposition of limits on the processing of data, and damage to our brand and business.
TheLike other global companies, to conduct its operations, the Company is subject to, among othertransfers data and consumer protection laws, the GDPR, the U.K. General Data Protection Regulation, the California Consumer Privacy Act and the Brazilian General Data Protection Law. Costs to comply with these privacy-related and data protection measures could be significant and could materially affect our business and failure to comply with them could result in material legal exposure and business impact. For example, the GDPR imposes onerous accountability obligations on companies, with penalties for noncompliance of up to the greater of 20 euros or four percent of annual global revenue, and grants corrective powers to supervisory authorities including the ability to impose a limit on processing of personal data. Following the U.K.’s withdrawal from the EU on January 31, 2020, it is likely that the data protection obligations of the GDPR will continue to apply to U.K.-based organizations’ processing of personal data in substantially unvaried form at least in the short term. There are legislative proposals recently adopted or currently pending in the United States, at both the federal and state levels (including by banking agencies), as well as in other jurisdictions, implementing new or additional requirements on data processing that could increase compliance costs, the cost and complexity of delivering our services and significantly affect our business.
across international borders. Transferring personal informationdata across international borders is complex and subject to legal and regulatory requirements, as well asrequirements. In many cases, the laws and regulations governing such transfers apply not only to transfers between unrelated third parties but also to transfers between the Company and its subsidiaries. There is also active litigation and enforcement with respect to data transfers in a number of jurisdictions around the world, each of which could have an adverse impact on our ability to process and transfer personal data as part of our business operations. The mechanismsSome countries have also enacted or are enacting data localization laws that we and many other companies rely upon for Europeanprohibit or significantly restrict the transfer of data out of the country. Developments related to cross-border transfers, (e.g., Privacy Shield and Model Clauses) are the subject of recent judicial decisions byincluding the Court of Justice ofJuly 2020 ruling in the “Schrems II” case as well as related guidance from the European Union resulting in the invalidation of Privacy Shield. The invalidation of Privacy Shield and the open questions related to the validity of Model ClausesData Protection Board, have resulted in some changes into the obligations required toway we provide our services in the European Union and conduct our business, and could expose us to potential sanctions and fines for non-compliance. Several other countries, including India, have also establishedIf we cannot transfer data from some jurisdictions or are considering data localization requirementsimplement valid mechanisms for cross-border data transfers, ofwe may face increased exposure to regulatory actions, substantial fines, injunctions against processing or transferring personal information. Thesedata from Europe or elsewhere, and require us to increase our personal data processing capabilities in the Europe Union and/or elsewhere at significant expense.
In addition to our legal obligations, our contractual obligations relating to privacy, data protection and information security have become increasingly prevalent and stringent due to changes in laws and regulations, including the development related to cross-border transfers, as well as the heightened regulatory requirements in the financial services industry. Certain Data Protection Laws, such as the GDPR and the CCPA, require our customers to impose specific contractual restrictions on their service providers. If we are unable to comply with our contractual obligations, this could have a substantial impact on the costour reputation and result in liabilities and loss of our business.
Risks Related to Our Indebtedness.
The Company may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all ofor may not be able to refinance its indebtedness and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy its obligations under its indebtedness, which may not be successful. The Company's ability to make scheduled payments or refinance its debt obligations depends on its financial condition and operating performance, which are subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business, legislative, regulatory and other factors beyond its control. The Company may be unable to maintain a level of cash flows from operating activities sufficient to permit the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, on its indebtedness.
If the Company's cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund its debt service obligations, the Company could face substantial liquidity problemsissues and could be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures or to dispose of material assets or operations, seek additional debt or equity capital or restructure or refinance its indebtedness. The Company may not be able to effect any such alternative measures, if necessary, on commercially reasonable terms or at all and, even if successful, those alternative actions may not allow the Company to meet its scheduled debt service obligations. In addition, the terms of the Company's existing or future debt arrangements may restrict it from effecting any of these alternatives.
The Company expects to refinance all or a substantial portion of its existing indebtedness at or prior to maturity. Any disruption to the capital markets, or change in the financial condition of the Company, could make it more difficult and expensive for the Company to refinance on commercially reasonable terms or at all.
The terms of the credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) governing the Company's revolving credit facility (the Revolving Facility)and term loans and the indentures governing the Company's senior secured and unsecured notes (the Indentures) restrict its current and future operations, particularly its ability to respond to changes or to take certain actions. The Credit Agreement and the Indentures contain a number of restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on the Company and may limit its ability to engage in acts that may be in its long-term best interest, including restrictions on its ability to:
•incur additional indebtedness and guarantee indebtedness;
•pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem capital stock;
•prepay, redeem or repurchase certain debt;
•issue certain preferred stock or similar equity securities;
•make loans and investments;
•sell assets;
•incur liens;
•enter into transactions with affiliates;
•alter the businesses the Company conducts;
•enter into agreements restricting the Company’s subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends; and
•consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.
In addition, the restrictive covenants in the Credit Agreement require the Company to maintain specified financial ratios and satisfy other financial conditions. Although the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement in August 2018March 2022 to, among other things, revise certain of its financial covenants, upon the occurrence of certain events, the financial covenants,
including the Company’s net leverage ratio, will revert to pre-amendment levels. The Company’s ability to meet the financial ratios and tests can be affected by events beyond its control, and it may be unable to meet them.
A breach of the covenants or restrictions under any of the Indentures or under the Credit Agreement could result in an event of default under the applicable indebtedness. Such a default may allow the creditors to accelerate the related debt and may result in the acceleration of any other debt to which a cross-acceleration or cross-default provision applies. In addition, an event of default under the Credit Agreement would permit the lenders under the Revolving Facility to terminate all commitments to extend further credit under that facility. Furthermore, if the Company were unable to repay the amounts due and payable under the Revolving Facility and term loans, those lenders could proceed against the collateral granted them to secure that indebtedness. In the event the Company’s lenders or noteholders accelerate the repayment of its indebtedness, the Company and its subsidiaries may not have sufficient assets to repay that indebtedness. As a result of these restrictions, the Company may be:
•limited in how it conducts its business;
•unable to raise additional debt or equity financing to operate during general economic or business downturns; and
•unable to compete effectively or to take advantage of new business opportunities.
These restrictions may affect the ability to grow in accordance with its strategy. In addition, the Company’s financial results, its substantial indebtedness and its credit ratings could adversely affect the availability and terms of its financing.
The Company’s failure to meet its debt service obligations could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company’s high level of indebtedness could adversely affect the Company’s operations and liquidity. The Company’s level of indebtedness could, among other things:
•make it more difficult for the Company to pay or refinance its debts as they become due during adverse economic and industry conditions because the Company may not have sufficient cash flows to make its scheduled debt payments;
•cause the Company to use a larger portion of its cash flow to fund interest and principal payments, reducing the availability of cash to fund working capital, capital expenditures, R&D and other business activities;
•limit the Company’s ability to take advantage of significant business opportunities, such as acquisition opportunities, and to react to changes in market or industry conditions;
•cause the Company to be more vulnerable to general adverse economic and industry conditions;
•cause the Company’s suppliers to limit trade credit, require pre-payments or other collateral;
•cause the Company to be disadvantaged compared to competitors with less leverage;
•result in a downgrade in the credit rating of the Company or indebtedness of the Company or its subsidiaries, which could increase the cost of borrowings; and
•limit the Company’s ability to borrow additional monies in the future to fund working capital, capital expenditures, R&D and other business activities.
The Company may also incur additional long-term debt and working capital lines of credit to meet future financing needs, which would increase its total indebtedness. Although the Credit Agreement and the Indentures contain restrictions on the Company’s ability to incur additional debt, including secured debt, these restrictions are subject to a number of important exceptions and debt incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. If the Company and its restricted subsidiaries incur significant additional debt, the related risks that the Company faces could intensify.
The interest rates of certain debt instruments are priced using a spread over the London interbank offered rate (LIBOR) and Euro interbank offered rate (EURIBOR). LIBOR and EURIBOR are the basic raterates of interest used in lending between banks on the London interbank market and EURO interbank market, and are widely used as a reference for setting the interest rate on loans globally. LIBOR and EURIBOR are the reference rates used with respect to the term loans and Revolving Facility under the Credit Agreement. On July 27, 2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority, which regulatesThe ICE Benchmark Administration Limited (ICE) ceased calculating and publishing certain USD LIBOR tenors on December 31, 2021. ICE has also announced that it intends to phase outwill cease calculating and publishing all remaining USD LIBOR by the end of 2021. At this time, ittenors on June 30, 2023. It is unclear whether LIBOR will cease to exist or if new standardsmethods of calculating LIBOR will be established.established such that it continues to exist after such end dates, and there is considerable uncertainty regarding the publication or representativeness of LIBOR beyond such end dates. The Company has taken stepsU.S. Federal Reserve, in conjunction with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, is seeking to reduce its risk ofreplace USD LIBOR with a higher interestnewly created index (the secured overnight financing rate, or SOFR), calculated based on repurchase agreements booked by effectively replacing LIBOR astreasury securities. The Credit Agreement contains fallback provisions that would apply if the reference rates used thereunder were unavailable. Nevertheless, at this time, it is not possible to predict the effect that any discontinuance, modification or other reforms to LIBOR or any other reference rate, with respect to its debt,or the establishment of alternative reference rates, may have on LIBOR or other benchmarks, including by entering into interest rate swaps. Additionally, in July 2020,LIBOR-based borrowings under the Company refinanced a portion of its then outstanding indebtednessterm loans and Revolving Facility under the Credit Agreement usingAgreement.

Workforce Operations Risks.
An inability to attract, retain and motivate key employees could harm current and future operations. In order to be successful, the Company must attract, retain and motivate executives and other key employees, including those in managerial, professional, administrative, technical, sales, marketing and IT support positions. It also must keep employees focused on its strategies and goals. Hiring and retaining qualified executives, engineers and qualified sales representatives are critical to its
future, and competition for experienced employees in these areas can be intense. In addition, we have seen a decline in the qualified labor applicant pool since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and increased competition for qualified labor. The failure to hire or loss of key employees could have a significant impact on the Company’s operations.
Risks Related to Reliance on Performance of Third Parties.
The Company’s ability to deliver products that satisfy customer requirements is dependent on the performance of its subcontractors and suppliers, as well as on the availability of raw materials and other components. The Company relies on other companies, including subcontractors and suppliers, to provide and produce raw materials, integrated components and sub-assemblies and production commodities included in, or used in the production of, its products. If one or more of the Company's subcontractors or suppliers experiences delivery delays or other performance problems, it may be unable to meet commitments to its customers or incur additional costs. In some instances, the Company depends upon a single source of supply. Any service disruption from one of these suppliers, either due to circumstances beyond the supplier’s control, such as geo-political developments or public health concerns (including viral outbreaks, such as COVID-19), or as a result of performance problems or financial difficulties, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to meet commitments to its customers or increase its operating costs. Since the beginning of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in increased travel restrictions and extended shutdown of certain businesses. At present, the overall impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is difficult to predict, but it may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s overall business, financial condition and results of operations, in particular if COVID-19 infection rates resurge in other countries and regions.regions, including as a result of new variants.
The Company manufactures a substantial amount of its products in Paderborn, Germany, and Manaus, Brazil. In addition, certain of our products are manufactured in China. Any damage suffered by these critical locations and manufacturing plants could negatively impact our business and results of operations. While the Company maintains insurance policies that provide coverage up to certain limits for some of the potential risks and liabilities associated with its business, it does not maintain insurance policies for all risks and liabilities.
The Company relies on third parties to provide security systems and systems integration. Sophisticated hardware and operating system software and applications that the Company procures from third parties may contain defects in design or manufacture, including “bugs” and other problems that could unexpectedly interfere with the operation of the system. The costs to eliminate or alleviate security problems, viruses and bugs could be significant, and the efforts to address these problems could result in interruptions, delays or cessation of service that could impede sales, manufacturing, distribution or other critical functions.
Tax Liability Risks.
Additional tax expense or additional tax exposures could affect the Company's future profitability. The Company is subject to income taxes in both the U.S. and various non-U.S. jurisdictions, and its domestic and international tax liabilities are dependent upon the distribution of income among these different jurisdictions. If the Company decides to repatriate cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments residing in international tax jurisdictions, there could be further negative impact on foreign and domestic taxes. The Company's tax expense includes estimates of additional tax that may be incurred for tax exposures and reflects various estimates and assumptions, including assessments of future earnings of the Company that could affect the valuation of its net deferred tax assets. The Company's future results could be adversely affected by changes in the effective tax rate as a result of a change in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the overall profitability of the Company, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, the results of audits and examinations of previously filed tax returns continuing assessments of its income tax exposures and changes in tax legislation. For example, President Biden has proposed the reversal or modification of some portions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which, if enacted, could result in a higher U.S. corporate income tax rate than is currently in effect.
Additionally, the Company's future results could be adversely affected by the results of indirect tax audits and examinations, and continuing assessments of its indirect tax exposures. A loss contingency is reasonably possible if it has a more than remote but less than probable chance of occurring. Although management believes the Company has valid defenses with respect to its indirect tax positions, it is reasonably possible that a loss could occur in excess of the estimated accrual. The aggregate risk related to indirect taxes is adjusted as the applicable statutes of limitations expire. It is reasonably possible that the Company could be required to pay taxes, penalties and interest related to this matter or other open years, which could be material to its financial condition and results of operations.
Risks Related to Acquisitions, Divestitures and Alliances.
The Company may not be successful executing potential acquisitions, investments or partnerships, or divesting its non-core and/or non-accretive businessesdivestitures. As the Company’s financial performance improves, it may evaluate and consider acquisitions, investments or partnerships in companies, products, services and technologies, which could support the Company’s strategy and growth. Acquisitions, investments and partnerships inherently involve risks, which may include: the risk of integrating business operations, cultures, retaining key personnel and maintaining appropriate systems and controls; the potential for unknown liabilities; the possibility that acquisitions, investments or partnerships may not yield the targeted financial or strategic benefits to the Company. Furthermore, the Company has, from time-to-time, been divesting certain non-core and/or non-accretive businesses to, among other things, simplify its business and reduce its debt. However, there can be no assurance that it will be successful in selling all or further such any assets. It may incur substantial expenses associated with identifying and
evaluating potential sales. The process of exploring any sales may be time consuming and disruptive to its business operations, and if it is unable to effectively manage the process, its business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. It also cannot assure that any potential sale, if consummated, will prove to be beneficial to its shareholders. Any potential sale would be dependent upon a number of factors that may be beyond the Company’s control, including, among other factors, market conditions, industry trends, the interest of third parties in the assets and the availability of financing to potential buyers on reasonable terms.
In addition, while it evaluates asset sales, the Company is exposed to risks and uncertainties, including potential difficulties in retaining and attracting key employees, distraction of its management from other important business activities, and potential difficulties in establishing and maintaining relationships with customers, suppliers, lenders, sureties and other third parties, all of which could harm its business.
The Company may be unable to successfully and effectively manage acquisitions, divestitures, alliances, and other significant transactions, which could harm its operating results, business and prospects. As the Company improves its financial performance and promotes its business strategy, it will continue to engage in discussions and potentially enter into agreements with third parties regarding possible investments, acquisitions, strategic alliances, joint ventures, partnerships, divestitures and outsourcing arrangements. Such transactions present significant risks and challenges and there can be no assurances that the Company will manage such transactions successfully or that strategic opportunities will be available to the Company on acceptable terms or at all. Acquisitions and partnerships inherently involve risks.
The Company may specifically evaluate and consider investments or partnerships in companies, products, services and technologies. Related risks include the Company failing to achieve strategic objectives, anticipated benefits or timing of a transaction or contractual obligations. Such transactions may require the Company to manage post-closing transitions services or integration issues with business operations, support systems, workplace cultures and the retention of personnel. There is also the potential for unknown liabilities and the possibility that the acquisitions or partnerships may not yield financial strategic benefits to the Company. Risks of these transactions can be more pronounced in larger and more complicated transactions, or if multiple transactions are pursued simultaneously.
Risks Related to Our Pension Plan Obligations.
Low investment performance by the Company's pension plan assets may result in an increase to its net pension liability and expense, which may require it to fund a portion of its pension obligations and divert funds from other potential uses. The Company sponsors several defined benefit pension plans that cover certain eligible employees across the globe. The Company's pension expense and required contributions to its pension plans funded with assets are directly affected by the value of plan assets, the projected rate of return on plan assets, the actual rate of return on plan assets and the actuarial assumptions it uses to measure the defined benefit pension plan obligations.
A significant market downturn could occur in future periods resulting in a decline in the funded status of the Company's pension plans and causing actual asset returns to be below the assumed rate of return used to determine pension expense. If return on plan assets in future periods perform below expectations, future pension expense will increase.
Risks Related to Shareholder Appraisal Proceedings.
The Company is exposed to additional litigation risk and uncertainty with respect to the former minority shareholders of Diebold Nixdorf AG. As a result of the 2016 acquisition of Diebold Nixdorf AG (the Acquisition), the Company continues to be exposed to two separate appraisal proceedings (Spruchverfahren). Both proceedings are pending at the same Chamber for Commercial Matters (Kammer für Handelssachen) at the District Court (Landgericht) of Dortmund (Germany). The first appraisal proceeding relates to the Domination and Profit Loss Transfer Agreement (DPLTA) entered into by Diebold Holding Germany Inc. & Co. KGaA (now doing business as Diebold Nixdorf Holding Germany GmbH), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated, and Diebold Nixdorf AG, which became effective on February 17, 2017. The DPLTA appraisal proceeding was filed by minority shareholders of Diebold Nixdorf AG challenging the adequacy of both the cash exit compensation of €55.02 per Diebold Nixdorf AG share (of which 6.9 million shares were then outstanding) and the annual recurring compensation of €2.82 per Diebold Nixdorf AG share offered in connection with the DPLTA.
The second appraisal proceeding relates to the cash merger squeeze-out of minority shareholders of Diebold Nixdorf AG in 2019. The squeeze-out appraisal proceeding was filed by former minority shareholders of Diebold Nixdorf AG challenging the adequacy of the cash exit compensation of €54.80 per Diebold Nixdorf AG share (of which 1.4 million shares were then outstanding) in connection with the merger squeeze-out.
In both appraisal proceedings, a court ruling would apply to all Diebold Nixdorf AG shares outstanding at the time when the DPLTA or the merger squeeze-out, respectively, became effective. Any cash compensation received by former Diebold Nixdorf AG shareholders in connection with the merger squeeze-out would be netted with any higher cash compensation such shareholder may still claim in connection with the DPLTA appraisal proceeding. While the Company believes that the compensation offered in connection with the DPLTA and the merger squeeze-out was in both cases fair, it notes that German courts often adjudicate increases of the cash compensation to plaintiffs in varying amounts in connection with German appraisal proceedings. Therefore, the Company cannot rule out that the first instance court or an appellate court may increase the cash compensation also in these appraisal proceedings. The Company, however, is convinced that its defense in both appraisal
proceedings which are still at preliminary stages, is supported by strong sets of facts and the Company vigorously defends itself in these matters.
Non-Cash Impairment Loss Risks.
The Company has a significant amount of long-term assets, including goodwill and other intangible assets, and any future impairment charges could adversely impact its results of operations. The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and identifiable amortizing intangible assets, for impairment whenever changes in circumstances or events may indicate that the carrying amounts are not recoverable. If the fair value is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference. Factors which may cause an impairment of long-lived assets include significant changes in the manner of use of these assets, negative industry or market trends, a significant under-performance relative to historical or projected future operating results, or a likely sale or disposal of the asset before the end of its estimated useful life.
As of December 31, 2020,2021, the Company had $800.4$743.6 of goodwill. The techniques used in its qualitative and quantitative assessment and goodwill impairment tests incorporate a number of estimates and assumptions that are subject to change. Although the Company believes these estimates and assumptions are reasonable and reflect market conditions forecast at the assessment date, any changes to these assumptions and estimates due to market conditions or otherwise may lead to an outcome where impairment charges would be required in future periods.
Economic Risks and Market Contingencies.
The proliferation of payment options other than cash, including credit cards, debit cards, store-valued cards and mobile payment options could result in a reduced need for cash in the marketplace and a resulting decline in the usage of ATMs. The U.S., Europe and other developed markets have seen a shift in consumer payment trends since the late 1990's, with more customers now opting for electronic forms of payment, such as credit cards and debit cards, for their in-store purchases over traditional paper-based forms of payment, such as cash and checks. The recent COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated consumer transition towards non-cash payment alternatives driving an increase in digital, mobile and contactless payment methods.
Additionally, some merchants offer free cash back at the POS for customers that utilize debit cards for their purchases, thus providing an additional incentive for consumers to use these cards. The continued growth in electronic payment methods could result in a reduced need for cash in the marketplace and ultimately, a decline in the usage of ATMs. New payment technology and adoption of mobile payment technology, virtualdigital currencies such as Bitcoin, or other new payment method preferences by consumers could further reduce the general population's need or demand for cash and negatively impact sales of ATMs and selected products, services and software.
The Company's business may be affected by general economic conditions, cyclicality and uncertainty and could be adversely affected during economic downturns. Demand for the Company's services and products is affected by general economic conditions and the business conditions of the industries in which it sells its services and products. The business of most of the Company's customers, particularly its financial institution and retail customers, is, to varying degrees, cyclical and has historically experienced periodic downturns. Under difficult economic conditions, customers may seek to reduce discretionary spending by forgoing purchases of the Company's services and products. This risk is magnified for capital goods purchases such as ATMs, retail systems and physical security products. In addition, downturns in the Company's customers’ industries, even during periods of strong general economic conditions, could adversely affect the demand for the Company's services and products, and its sales and operating results.
In particular, continuing economic difficulties in the global markets have led to an economic recession in certain markets in which the Company operates. As a result of these difficulties and other factors, including new or increased regulatory burdens, financial institutions and retail customers have failed and may continue to fail, resulting in a loss of current or potential customers, or deferred or canceled orders, including orders previously placed. Any customer deferrals or cancellations could materially affect the Company's sales and operating results.
Increased energy, raw material and labor costs could reduce the Company's operating results. Energy prices, particularly petroleum prices, and raw materials (e.g., steel) are cost drivers for the Company's business. In recent years, the price of petroleum has been highly volatile, particularly due to the unstable political conditions in the Middle East and increasing international demand from emerging markets. The current high inflation environment may have also led to increased energy and oil prices. During his campaign, President Biden stated his intent to reverse U.S. climate change policy and in one of his first actions after taking office, signed an executive order recommitting the United States to the Paris Agreement. New legislation and regulations designed to implement this shift in U.S. climate change strategy, such as President Biden’s proposed ban of new oil and gas production activities on public lands and properties, could cause fuel and electricity prices to increase. Price increases in fuel and electricity costs, such as those increases that may occur from climate change legislation or other environmental mandates, may continue to increase cost of operations and effect the Company’s ability to operate in specific markets. Any increase in the costs of energy would also increase the Company's transportation costs.
The primary raw materials in the Company's services, software and systems solutions are steel, plastics, and electronic parts and components. The majority of raw materials are purchased from various local, regional and global suppliers pursuant to supply contracts. However, the price of these materials can fluctuate under these contracts in tandem with the pricing of raw materials.materials, which are increasing due to inflationary pressures. Current price increases in steel and resin are being mitigated by long termlong-term contracts and joint work with suppliers on general
productivity improvement and supply chain optimization. Most supplier agreements include long termlong-term productivity improvements that serve as the basis for absorbing the potential raw materials increases.
The Company cannot assure that its labor costs going forward will remain competitive or will not increase.increase, including as a result of the current high inflation environment and the competitive environment for labor. In the future, the Company's labor agreements may be amended, or become amendable, and new agreements could have terms with higher labor costs. In addition, labor costs may increase in connection with the Company's growth. The Company may also become subject to collective bargaining agreements in the future in the event that non-unionized workers may unionize.
Risks Related to Competition.
The Company faces competition in global markets that could adversely affect its sales and financial condition. All phases of the Company's business are highly competitive. Some of its services and products are in direct competition with similar or alternative services or products provided by its competitors. The Company encounters competition in price, delivery, service, performance, product innovation, product recognition and quality. In a number of international markets in each region where the Company operates, it faces substantial competition from local service providers that offer competing services and products.
Local providers of competing services and products may also have a substantial advantage in attracting customers in their countries due to more established branding in that country, greater knowledge with respect to the tastes and preferences of customers residing in that country and/or their focus on a single market. In addition, some of these companies may have a dominant market share in their territories and may be owned by local stakeholders. Because of the potential for consolidation in any market, the Company's competitors may become larger, which could make them more efficient and permit them to be more price-competitive. Increased size could also permit them to operate in wider geographic areas and enhance their abilities in other areas such as R&D and customer service.
The Company expects that its competitors will continue to develop and introduce new and enhanced services and products. This could cause a decline in market acceptance of the Company's services and products or result in the loss of major customers. In addition, the Company's competitors could cause a reduction in the prices for some of its services and products as a result of intensified price competition. Also, the Company may be unable to effectively anticipate and react to new entrants in the marketplace competing with its services and products.
As a U.S.-based multi-national corporation, the Company must ensure its compliance with both U.S. and foreign regulatory requirements, while local competitors only need to observe applicable regional, national or local laws that may be less onerous. An inability to compete successfully could have an adverse effect on the Company's operating results, financial condition and cash flows in any given period.
Risks Related to Our Multi-National Business Operations.
Because the Company's operations are conducted worldwide, they are affected by risks of doing business abroad. The Company generates a significant percentage of revenue from operations conducted outside the U.S. Revenue from international operations amounted to approximately 77.1 percent in 2021, 75.0 percent in 2020, and 76.8 percent in 2019 and 77.1 percent in 2018 of total revenue during these respective years.
Accordingly, international operations are subject to the risks of doing business abroad, including, among other things, the following:
•fluctuations in currency exchange rates, particularly in EMEA (primarily the euro), Great Britain (pound sterling), Mexico (peso), Thailand (baht) and Brazil (real);
•transportation and supply chain delays and interruptions;
•political and economic instability and disruptions, including the impact of trade agreements;
•the failure of foreign governments to abide by international agreements and treaties;
•restrictions on the transfer of funds and capital controls;
•the imposition of duties, tariffs and other taxes;
•import and export controls;
•changes in governmental policies and regulatory environments;
•ensuring the Company's compliance with U.S. laws and regulations and applicable laws and regulations in other jurisdictions, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), the U.K. Bribery Act, and applicable laws and regulations in other jurisdictions;
•increasingly complex laws and regulations concerning privacy and data security, including the GDPR;
•labor unrest and current and changing regulatory environments;
•the uncertainty of product acceptance by different cultures;
•the risks of divergent business expectations or cultural incompatibility inherent in establishing strategic alliances with foreign partners;
•difficulties in staffing and managing multi-national operations;
•limitations on the ability to enforce legal rights and remedies;
•reduced protection for intellectual property rights in some countries;
•potentially adverse tax consequences, including repatriation of profits; and
•disruptions in our business, or the businesses of our suppliers or customers, due to cybersecurity incidents, terrorist activity, armed conflict, war, public health concerns (including viral outbreaks, such as COVID-19), fires or other natural disasters.
Any of these events could have an adverse effect on the Company's international operations by reducing the demand for its services and products or decreasing the prices at which it can sell its services and products, thereby adversely affecting its financial condition or operating results. The Company may not be able to continue to operate in compliance with applicable customs, currency exchange control regulations, transfer pricing regulations or any other laws or regulations to which it may be subject. In addition, these laws or regulations may be modified in the future, and the Company may not be able to operate in compliance with those modifications.
Significant developments from recent and potential changes in U.S. trade policies, trade policies of other countries, or the issuance of sanctions forbidding or restricting trade where the Company has operations could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its financial condition and results of operations. Tariffs, and other governmental action relating to international trade agreements or policies, the adoption and expansion of trade restrictions, the requirement for licenses or the occurrence of a trade war, may adversely impact demand for the Company’s products, costs, customers, suppliers and/or the U.S. economy or certain sectors thereof or may adversely impact the Company’s ability to select a preferred supplier and, as a result, adversely impact its business.
The U.S. government may renegotiate, or potentially terminate, existing bilateral or multi-lateral trade agreements and treaties with foreign countries, including countries such as China. The Company manufactures a substantial amount of its products in China. Additional tariffs may cause the Company to increase prices to its customers, which may reduce demand, or, if it is unable to increase prices, result in lowering its margin on products sold. Furthermore, the Company’s global operations, including in China and Russia, subject it to sanctions laws in the countries where it trades and to U.S. sanctions. IfThe Company's operations in Russia have been affected by sanctions by a number of governments on the Russian financial sector, including the United States, the European Union, and the United Kingdom. These sanctions may have the effect of disrupting the Company's collection of outstanding accounts receivable and ability to generate revenue in Russia. Based on the projected affect of these sanctions or the imposition of additional sanctions, are imposed this impact on operations may require the Company to reduce or exit its business in aRussia or another country. Any reduction or exit of our business could result in changes, which could be material.
It remains unclear what the U.S. or foreign governments will or will not do with respect to sanctions, tariffs, international trade agreements and policies on a short-term or long-term basis. The Company cannot predict future trade policy or the terms of any renegotiated trade agreements and their impacts on its business.
Risks Related to Our Common Shares.
Anti-takeover provisions could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire the Company. Certain provisions of the Company's charter documents, including provisions limiting the ability of shareholders to raise matters at a meeting of shareholders without giving advance notice, may make it more difficult for a third party to gain control of the Company's board of directors and may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in the Company's control or management. This could have an adverse effect on the market price of the Company's common shares. Additionally, Ohio corporate law provides that certain notice and informational filings and special shareholder meeting and voting procedures must be followed prior to consummation of a proposed control share acquisition, as defined in the Ohio Revised Code (ORC). Assuming compliance with the prescribed notice and information filings, a proposed control share acquisition may be made only if, at a special meeting of shareholders, the acquisition is approved by both a majority of its voting power represented at the meeting and a majority of the voting power remaining after excluding the combined voting power of the interested shares, as defined in the ORC. The application of these provisions of the ORC also could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control.
The declaration, payment and amount of dividends is at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors. Although the Company has paid dividends on its common shares in the past, the declaration and payment of future dividends, as well as the amount thereof, are subject to declaration by the Company’s board of directors. The amount and size of any future dividends will depend on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, capital levels, cash requirements, future prospects and other factors.
General Risks.
The Company's ability to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting may be insufficient to allow it to accurately report its financial results or prevent fraud, and this could cause its financial statements to become materially misleading and adversely affect the trading price of its common shares. The Company requires effective internal control over financial reporting in order to provide reasonable assurance with respect to its financial reports and to effectively prevent fraud. Internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls or fraud. Therefore, even effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements. If the Company cannot provide reasonable assurance with respect to its financial statements and effectively prevent fraud, its financial statements could become materially misleading, which could adversely affect the trading price of its common shares.
If the Company is not able to maintain the adequacy of its internal control over financial reporting, including any failure to implement required new or improved controls, its business, financial condition and operating results could be harmed. Any material weakness could affect investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of its financial statements. As a result, the Company's ability to obtain any additional financing, or additional financing on favorable terms, could be materially and
adversely affected. This, in turn, could materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition and the market value of its securities and require it to incur additional costs to improve its internal control systems and procedures. In addition, perceptions of the Company among customers, lenders, investors, securities analysts and others could also be adversely affected.
We may be exposed to certain regulatory and financial risks related to climate change. Growing concerns about climate change may result in the imposition of additional regulations or restrictions to which we may become subject. A number of governments or governmental bodies have introduced or are contemplating regulatory changes in response to climate change, including regulating greenhouse gas emissions. The outcome of new legislation or regulation in the U.S. and other jurisdictions in which we operate may result in new or additional requirements, additional charges to fund energy efficiency activities, and fees or restrictions on certain activities. Compliance with these climate change initiatives may also result in additional costs to us, including, among other things, increased production costs, additional taxes, reduced emission allowances or additional restrictions on production or operations. Any adopted future climate change regulations could also negatively impact our ability to compete with companies situated in areas not subject to such limitations. Even without such regulation, increased public awareness and adverse publicity about potential impacts on climate change emanating from us or our industry could harm us.
We may not be able to recover the cost of compliance with new or more stringent laws and regulations, which could adversely affect our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
An adverse determination that the Company's services, products or manufacturing processes infringe the intellectual property rights of others, or its failure to enforce its intellectual property rights could have a materially adverse effect on its business, operating results or financial condition.As is common in any high technology industry, others have asserted from time to time, and may assert in the future, that the Company's services, products or manufacturing processes infringe their intellectual property rights. A court determination that its services, products or manufacturing processes infringe the intellectual property rights of others could result in significant liability and/or require it to make material changes to its services, products and/or manufacturing processes.
The Company also seeks to enforce its intellectual property rights against infringement. The Company cannot predict the outcome of actions to enforce its intellectual property rights, and, although it seeks to enforce its intellectual property rights, it cannot guarantee that it will be successful in doing so. Any of the foregoing could have a materially adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results or financial condition.
The Company may be exposed to liabilities under the FCPA or other worldwide anti-bribery laws, which could harm its reputation and have a material adverse effect on its business. The Company is subject to compliance with various laws and regulations, including worldwide anti-bribery laws. Anti-bribery laws generally prohibit companies, and third parties acting on their behalf, from engaging in bribery or making or receiving other improper payments to another person or entity, including government officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business or gaining an unfair business advantage or inducing a person to act improperly or rewarding them for doing so. The FCPA also requires proper record keeping and characterization of such payments in the Company's reports filed with the SEC.
The Company's employees and agents are required to comply with these laws. The Company operates in many parts of the world that have experienced governmental and commercial corruption to some degree, and strict compliance with anti-bribery laws may conflict with local customs and practices. Non-US companies, including some that may compete with the Company, may not be subject to the FCPA or other anti-bribery laws and may follow local customs and practices. Accordingly, such companies may be more likely to engage in activities prohibited by the anti-bribery laws which apply to the Company, which could have a significant adverse impact on the Company's ability to compete for business in such countries.
Despite the Company's commitment to legal compliance and corporate ethics, it cannot ensure that its policies and procedures will always protect it from intentional, reckless or negligent acts committed by its employees or agents. Violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt the Company's business and result in financial penalties, debarment from government contracts and other consequences that may have a material adverse effect on its reputation, business, financial condition or results of operations. Future changes in anti-bribery or economic sanctions laws and enforcement could also result in increased compliance requirements and related expenses that may also have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.
Economic conditions and regulatory changes leading up to and following the United Kingdom's (U.K.) exit from the EU could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations. The U.K.’s exit from the EU (Brexit) and the resulting significant change to the U.K.’s relationship with the EU and with countries outside the EU (and the laws, regulations and trade deals impacting business conducted between them) could disrupt the overall economic growth or stability of the U.K. and the EU and negatively impact the Company’s European operations. The U.K. and the EU have entered into a withdrawalfree trade agreement that set out the terms governing the U.K.’s departure, including, among other things, a transition period that ended on December 31, 2020, to allow for a future trade deal to be agreed upon. Although it is unknown what the terms ofnow governs the U.K.’s relationship with the EU. While the U.K. and the EU can generally continue to trade with each other without the imposition of tariffs for imports and exports, there are new customs requirements that require additional documentation and data, and there are also new controls on the movement and reporting of goods. Although we have not experienced any material disruption in our business as a result of Brexit, we do not know the extent to which Brexit and the free trade agreement will be,ultimately impact the business and regulatory environment in the U.K., the rest of the EU or other countries, although it is possible that Brexitthere will result inbe tighter controls and administrative requirements for imports and exports between the Company’sU.K. and the EU operations becoming subject to materially different,or other countries, as well as increased regulatory complexities. Any of these factors could adversely impact customer demand, our relationships with customers and potentially conflicting, laws, regulations or tariffs, which could require costly new compliance initiatives or changes to legal entity structures or operating practices, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s businesssuppliers and our results of operations.
Changes in laws or regulations or the manner of their interpretation or enforcement could adversely impact the Company's financial performance and restrict its ability to operate its business or execute its strategies. New laws or regulations, or changes in existing laws or regulations or the manner of their interpretation or enforcement, could increase the Company's cost of doing business and restrict its ability to operate its business or execute its strategies. This includes, among other things, the possible increase in U.S. corporate income tax rates, legislation and regulatory initiatives relating to climate change and environmental policy and other changes relating to the Biden Administration transition, compliance costs and enforcement under applicable securities laws, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act), the German Securities Trading Act (Wertpapierhandelsgesetz) and Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of April 16, 2014, as well as costs associated with complying with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
The Company’s actual operating results may differ significantly from its guidance. From time to time, the Company releases guidance, including any guidance that it may include in the reports that it files with the SEC regarding its future performance.
This guidance, which consists of forward-looking statements, is prepared by its management and is qualified by, and subject to,
the assumptions and the other information included in this annual report on Form 10-K, as well as the factors described under “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation—Forward-Looking Statement Disclosure.” The Company’s guidance is not prepared with a view toward compliance with published guidelines of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and neither its independent registered public accounting firm nor any other independent or outside party compiles or examines the guidance and, accordingly, no such person expresses any opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto.
Guidance is based upon a number of assumptions and estimates that, while presented with numerical specificity, are inherently subject to business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company’s control and are based upon specific assumptions with respect to future business decisions, some of which will change. The principal reason that the Company releases such data is to provide a basis for its management to discuss its business outlook with analysts and investors. The Company does not accept any responsibility for any projections or reports published by any such persons.
Guidance is necessarily speculative in nature, and it can be expected that some or all of the assumptions of the guidance furnished by the Company will not materialize or will vary significantly from actual results. Accordingly, the Company’s guidance is only an estimate of what management believes is realizable as of the date of release. Actual results will vary from the guidance. Investors should also recognize that the reliability of any forecasted financial data diminishes the farther in the future that the data are forecast. In light of the foregoing, investors are urged to put the guidance in context and not to place undue reliance on it.

The Company continues to deliver high service levels to customers, even in hard-hit areas around the world, and received positive feedback from customers, including critical infrastructure providers, such as supermarkets and financial institutions, as to how effectively it has responded to the pandemic. The Company has taken steps to ensure its global manufacturing and production facilities remain operational and continue to ship products in a timely manner. In addition, the Company is maintaining the execution pace of the DN Now transformation program and is leveraging its operational rigor to further reduce costs, manage net working capital and reduce risks. The Company has taken multiple measures to protect its employees, and it continues to evolve those measures based on input from various health authorities.
The Company continues to focus on the stability of its suppliers and supply chain to prepare for any potential challengesdifficulties stemming from additional government responses to the pandemic.
The In 2021, the Company has been designated as providing “critical infrastructure” servicesfaced unprecedented challenges brought on by the majoritysecond year of government entities around the world, including the United States Department of Homeland Securitypandemic. Supply chain disruption, whether it be access to critical raw material components, such as semiconductor chips, or freight lead times and availability, negatively affected virtually every business in order to promote public healthsome form – Diebold Nixdorf included. The Company’s 2021 financial performance was heavily impacted by longer lead times – both inbound and safety,outbound – as well as economic and national security during the COVID-19 pandemic. These designations recognize the vital role Diebold Nixdorf plays in allowing consumers to reliably and safely access financial services and essential retailers across more than 60 countries.
The Company continues to carefully manage its overall liquidity and net working capital by leveraging governance improvements from 2019. In response to the pandemic,non-billable inflationary pressures associated with these headwinds. While the Company fully borrowedbelieves that many of these headwinds peaked in the second half of 2021, its revolving credit facility during March of 2020, consistent with the practices of many large companies. This action was done out of an abundance of caution to ensure the Company had adequate financial flexibility during what was expected toexpectation is that there will not be a more challenging near-term environment. As business conditions improved,material improvement in raw material and freight costs through the Company repaid a portionend of the revolving credit facility borrowings as part of a $1.1 billion debt refinancing completed in July 2020, as discussed below in "—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financing Activities". We believe this action provides us with ample time and liquidity to complete its DN Now transformation and begin to pragmatically pursue growth opportunities.
Although business conditions for us, our customers and suppliers improved during the third quarter of 2020 relative2022. We look forward to moving past the first halfglobal macroeconomic challenges we have faced over the past two years by utilizing various mitigation strategies (e.g., supply chain optimization and price increases) to deliver for our customers and shareholders. We believe the Company is well-positioned to capitalize on the strong demand for our products and solutions as customers continue to desire our market leading devices, services and software, as the market moves toward a self-service automation focus driven by the changed behavior of consumers.
Given the year, of course there is some measure of uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and the impacts it may

have on our business and the businesses of our customers and suppliers. Thesuppliers, the possible resurgence of COVID-19 infection rates, including as a result of new variants, and government actions in response thereto could disrupt our operations and our supply chain and materially adversely affect our business. Because the situation continues to evolve, we cannot reasonably estimate the ultimate impact to our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial position that the COVID-19 pandemic may have, but such impact could be material.
DN Now Transformation Activities
Commensurate with its strategy, in 2021, the Company completed the execution of its multi-year transformation program called DN Now. The Company’s DN Now initiatives consisted of a number of work streams designed to improve operational efficiency and sustainably increase profits and cash flows. The Company has achieved a substantial amount of annual cost savings associated with the DN Now initiatives. In connection with its DN Now initiatives, the Company incurred restructuring and transformation expenses, the most notable of which are severance accruals and third-party transformation fees, totaling $98.9 and $181.8 in 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The US Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Tax Act reduced the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35 percent to 21%, required companies to pay a one-time transition tax on earnings for certain foreign subsidiaries and created new taxes on certain foreign sourced earnings. The Company accounted for the estimated impacts of the Tax Act in the year of enactment and finalized its accounting, as required under SAB 118, during 2018. During 2020, further regulation was issued in connection with certain provisions of the Tax Act related to taxes on foreign sourced earnings, with retroactive effect to 2018 and 2019. The Company calculated and recorded a benefit related to these regulatory changes of $9.1 and will amend its 2018 and 2019 returns accordingly.
The effective tax rate on the loss for 2019 was (51.0) percent and was primarily due to the U.S. taxed foreign income, including global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI), valuation allowances recorded on certain foreign and state jurisdictions, U.S. foreign tax credits that management concluded do not meet the more likely than not criteria for realization and the tax effects related to the Barbados structure collapse. The Company’s collapse of its Barbados structure to meet the covenant requirements under the Credit Agreement resulted in a net tax expense of $46.3 inclusive of the offsetting valuation allowance release relating to the Company’s nondeductible interest expense that was carried forward from December 31, 2018.

Segments
•Eurasia Banking net sales decreased $150.4, including a net unfavorable currency impact of $79.3 related primarily to the euro and divestitures of $30.4. Excluding currency and the impact of divestitures, net sales decreased $40.7 primarily due to declining low-margin services solutions, including a low margin maintenance contract roll-off in India, combined with the fewer product roll outs in various countries and under-performance of a non-core business, partially offset by higher product volume in Germany, the Middle East and South Africa related to unit replacements from Windows 10 upgrades.
•Americas Banking net sales increased $88.4, including a net unfavorable currency impact of $12.3 primarily related to the Brazil real. Excluding currency and a small divestiture, net sales increased $105.6 driven primarily by product and installation sales in Canada, Brazil, Mexico and the U.S. regional customers related to unit replacements from Windows 10 upgrades, in addition to increased software license volume in the U.S. Partially offsetting these increases, services revenue declined from lower maintenance contract volume and billed work activity in the U.S.
•Retail net sales decreased $107.9, including a net unfavorable currency impact of $59.4 mostly related to the euro and divestitures of $18.5. Excluding currency and the impact of divestitures, net sales decreased $30.0 primarily from lower POS installations and reduced low-margin non-core business, partially offset by incremental SCO volume and new service contracts in the U.K.

| Total gross margin | 24.2 | % | | 19.6 | % | | | | |
Services gross margin increased 3.6 percent and was favorably impacted by lower restructuring charges of $9.8 and lower non-routine charges of $13.8. Excluding restructuring and non-routine charges, services gross margin increased 2.9 percent as services margin increased in the Eurasia banking segment related to the favorable impact of the services modernization initiatives and favorable mix of higher margin installation activity.

The components of the non-routine expenses consisted of increased DN Now transformation expense, a one-time non-cash item in Brazil and $5.6 from the German real estate tax incurred related to the squeeze out. These increases were partially offset by lower integration expense and purchase accounting adjustments. Selling and administrative expense included restructuring charges of $37.4 and $33.4 in 2019 and 2018,320 basis points, respectively, primarily due to the workforce alignment actions under the DN Now plan.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Management’s discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP). The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Such estimates include revenue recognition, the valuation of trade and financing receivables, inventories, goodwill, intangible assets, other long-lived assets, legal contingencies, guarantee obligations, and assumptions used in the calculation of income taxes, pension and post-retirement benefits and customer incentives, among others. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors. Management monitors the economic conditions and other factors and will adjust such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.
The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the consolidated financial statements, which is contained in Item 8 of this annual report on Form 10-K. Management believes that,

of its significant accounting policies, its policies concerning revenue recognition, allowances for credit losses, inventory reserves, goodwill, long-lived assets, taxes on income, contingencies and pensions and post-retirement benefits are the most critical because they are affected significantly by judgments, assumptions and estimates. Additional information regarding these policies is included below.
Revenue Recognition. Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The amount of consideration can vary depending on discounts, rebates, refunds,

credits, price concessions, incentives, performance bonuses, penalties, or other similar items contained in the contract with the customer of which generally these variable consideration components represents minimal amount of net sales. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer.
The Company's payment terms vary depending on the individual contracts and are generally fixed fee. The Company recognizes advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized as deferred revenue. In certain contracts where services are provided prior to billing, the Company recognizes a contract asset within trade receivables and other current assets.receivables.
Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and that are collected by the Company from a customer are excluded from revenue.
The Company recognizes shipping and handling fees billed when products are shipped or delivered to a customer and includes such amounts in net sales. Although infrequent, shipping and handling associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer is not a separate performance obligation, rather is accounted for as a fulfillment cost. Third-party freight payments are recorded in cost of sales.
The Company includes a warranty in connection with certain contracts with customers, which are not considered to be separate performance obligations. The Company provides its customers a manufacturer’s warranty and records, at the time of the sale, a corresponding estimated liability for potential warranty costs. For additional information on product warranty refer to Note 9: Guarantees and Product Warranties. The Company also has extended warranty and service contracts available for its customers, which are recognized as separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized on these contracts ratably as the Company has a stand-ready obligation to provide services when or as needed by the customer. This input method is the most accurate assessment of progress toward completion the Company can apply.
Product revenue is recognized at the point in time that the customer obtains control of the product, which could be upon delivery or upon completion of installation services, depending on contract terms. The Company’s software licenses are functional in nature (the IP has significant stand-alone functionality); as such, the revenue recognition of distinct software license sales is at the point in time that the customer obtains control of the rights granted by the license.
Professional services integrate the commercial solution with the customer's existing infrastructure and helps define the optimal user experience, improve business processes, refine existing staffing models and deploy technology to meet branch and store automation objectives. Revenue from professional services are recognized over time, because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the Company’s performance as the services are performed or when the Company’s performance creates an asset with no alternative use and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. Generally revenue will be recognized using an input measure, typically costs incurred. The typical contract length for service is generally one year and is billed and paid in advance except for installations, among others.
Services may be sold separately or in bundled packages. For bundled packages, the Company accounts for individual services separately if they are distinct. A distinct service is separately identifiable from other items in the bundled package if a customer can benefit from it on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer. The consideration (including any discounts) is allocated between separate services or distinct obligations in a bundle based on their stand-alone selling prices. The stand-alone selling prices are determined based on the prices at which the Company separately sells the products or services. For items that are not sold separately, the Company estimates stand-alone selling prices using the cost plus expected margin approach. Revenue on service contracts is recognized ratably over time, generally using an input measure, as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the Company’s performance as the services are performed. In some circumstances, when global service supply chain services are not included in a term contract and rather billed as they occur, revenue on these billed work services are recognized at a point in time as transfer of control occurs.

The annual goodwill impairment test was performed using a qualitative analysis in 2021 and a quantitative analysis in 2020 and 2019.
A qualitative analysis is performed by assessing recent trends and factors, including projected market outlook and growth rates, forecasted and actual sales and operating profit margins, discount rates, industry data, and other relevant qualitative factors. These trends and factors are compared to, and based on, the assumptions used in the most recent quantitative analysis performed for each reporting unit. The results of the qualitative analyses did not indicate a need to perform a quantitative analysis.

In years in which quantitative analyses were performed, the fair value of the reporting units is determined based upon a combination of the income and market approaches, which are standard valuation methodologies. The income approach uses discounted estimated future cash flows, whereas the market approach or guideline public company method utilizes market data of similar publicly traded companies. The fair value of the reporting unit is defined as the price that would be received in a sale of the net assets in an orderly transaction between market participants at the assessment date. The Company compares the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying value and would recognize an impairment charge if the amount carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value.
The techniques used in the Company's annual assessmentquantitative assessments incorporate a number of assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable and to reflect market conditions at the assessment date. Assumptions in estimating future cash flows are subject to a high degree of judgment. The Company makes all efforts to forecast future cash flows as accurately as possible with the information available at the time the forecast is made. To this end, the Company evaluates the appropriateness of its assumptions as well as its overall forecasts by comparing projected results of upcoming years with actual results of preceding years and validating that differences therein are reasonable. Key assumptions, which typically are Level 3 inputs, include discount rates, terminal growth rates, market multiple data from selected guideline public companies, management's internal forecasts which include numerous assumptions such as projected net sales, gross profit, sales mix, operating and capital expenditures, among others. A number of benchmarks from independent industry and other economic publications were also used. Changes in assumptions and estimates after the assessment date may lead to an outcome where impairment charges would be required in future periods. Specifically, actual results may vary from the Company’s forecasts and such variations may be material and unfavorable, thereby triggering the need for future impairment tests where the conclusions may differ in reflection of prevailing market conditions.
The Company tests for interim impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the carrying value of a reporting unit below its reported amount. In evaluating whether it is more likely than not the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company considers the following events and circumstances, among others, if applicable: (a) macroeconomic conditions such as general economic conditions, limitations on

accessing capital or other developments in equity and credit markets; (b) industry and market considerations such as competition, multiples or metrics and changes in the market for the Company's products and services or regulatory and political environments; (c) cost factors such as raw materials, labor or other costs; (d) overall financial performance such as cash flows, actual and planned revenue and earnings compared with actual and projected results of relevant prior periods; (e) other relevant events such as changes in key personnel, strategy or customers; (f) changes in the composition of a reporting unit's assets or expected sales of all or a portion of a reporting unit; and (g) any sustained decrease in share price. If the Company's qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, a quantitative impairment test is used to identify potential goodwill impairment and measure the amount of any impairment loss to be recognized.
Taxes on Income. Deferred taxes are provided on an asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, operating loss carry-forwards and tax credits. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences and undistributed earnings in certain jurisdictions. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Determination of a valuation allowance involves estimates regarding the timing and amount of the reversal of taxable temporary differences, expected future taxable income and the impact of tax planning strategies. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
The Company operates in numerous taxing jurisdictions and is subject to examination by various federal, state and foreign jurisdictions for various tax periods. Additionally, the Company has retained tax liabilities and the rights to tax refunds in connection with various acquisitions and divestitures of businesses. The Company’s income tax positions are based on research and interpretations of the income tax laws and rulings in each of the jurisdictions in which the Company does business. Due to the subjectivity of interpretations of laws and rulings in each jurisdiction, the differences and interplay in tax laws between those jurisdictions, as well as the inherent uncertainty in estimating the final resolution of complex tax audit matters, the Company’s estimates of income tax liabilities may differ from actual payments or assessments.
The Company assesses its position with regard to tax exposures and records liabilities for these uncertain tax positions and any related interest and penalties, when the tax benefit is not more likely than not realizable. The Company has recorded an accrual that reflects the recognition and measurement process for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Additional future income tax expense or benefit may be recognized once the positions are effectively settled.

At the end of each interim reporting period, the Company estimates the effective tax rate expected to apply to the full fiscal year. The estimated effective tax rate contemplates the expected jurisdiction where income is earned, as well as tax planning alternatives. Current and projected growth in income in higher tax jurisdictions may result in an increasing effective tax rate over time. If the actual results differ from estimates, the Company may adjust the effective tax rate in the interim period if such determination is made.
Contingencies. Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. There is no liability recorded for matters in which the liability is not probable and reasonably estimable. Attorneys in the Company's legal department monitor and manage all claims filed against the Company and review all pending investigations. Generally, the estimate of probable loss related to these matters is developed in consultation with internal and outside legal counsel representing the Company. These estimates are based upon an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. The Company attempts to resolve these matters through settlements, mediation and arbitration proceedings when possible. If the actual settlement costs, final judgments, or fines, after appeals, differ from the estimates, the future results may be materially impacted. Adjustments to the initial estimates are recorded when a change in the estimate is identified.
Pensions and Other Post-retirement Benefits. Annual net periodic expense and benefit liabilities under the Company’s defined benefit plans are determined on an actuarial basis. Assumptions used in the actuarial calculations have a significant impact on plan obligations and expense. The Company periodically reviews the actual experience compared with the more significant assumptions used and make adjustments to the assumptions, if warranted. The discount rate is determined by analyzing the average return of high-quality (i.e., AA-rated), fixed-income investments and the year-over-year comparison of certain widely used benchmark indices as of the measurement date. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is determined using the plans’ current asset allocation and their expected long term rates of return. The rate of compensation increase assumptions reflects the Company’s long-term actual experience and future and near-term outlook. Pension benefits are funded through deposits with trustees. Other post-retirement benefits are not funded and the Company’s policy is to pay these benefits as they become due.

ITEM 7A: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
(dollars in millions, except per share amounts)
The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk inherent in its international operations denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. A hypothetical 10 percent movement in the applicable foreign exchange rates would have resulted in an increase or decrease in 20202021 operating profit of $23.9 and $29.2, respectively, and $17.9 and $21.9, respectively, and $13.2 and $10.8, respectively, for 2019.2020. The sensitivity model assumes an instantaneous, parallel shift in the foreign currency exchange rates. Exchange rates rarely move in the same direction. The assumption that exchange rates change in an instantaneous or parallel fashion may overstate the impact of changing exchange rates on amounts denominated in a foreign currency.
The Company’s risk-management strategy uses derivative financial instruments such as forwards to hedge certain foreign currency exposures. The intent is to offset gains and losses that occur on the underlying exposures with gains and losses on the derivative contracts hedging these exposures. The Company does not enter into derivatives for trading purposes. The Company’s primary exposures to foreign exchange risk are movements in the euro, British pound, Canadian dollar, Brazilian real, Thai baht and Mexican peso.
The Company manages interest rate risk with the use of variable rate borrowings under its committed and uncommitted credit facilities and interest rate swaps. VariableAt December 31, 2021 and 2020, variable rate borrowings under the credit facilities totaled $833.2 and $871.7, and $1,805.7,respectively, of which $325.0 and $900.0 were effectively converted to fixed rate using interest rate swaps at both December 31, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively. A one percentage point increase or decrease in interest rates would have resulted in an increase or decrease in interest expense of $5.1 and $5.5 for 2021 and $8.6 for 2020, and 2019, respectively, including the impact of the swap agreements. The Company’s primary exposure to interest rate risk is movements in the LIBOR, which is consistent with prior periods. Refer to Item 1A of this annual report on Form 10-K for a discussion of risks relating to any discontinuance, modification or other reforms to LIBOR or any other reference rate, or the establishment of alternative reference rates.
ITEM 8: FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated:
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 20202021 and 2019,2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three‑year period ended December 31, 2020,2021, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 20202021 and 2019,2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three‑year period ended December 31, 2020,2021, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020,2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated March 1, 202111, 2022, expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Change in Accounting Principle
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has changed its method of accounting for leases as of January 1, 2019, due to the adoption of ASU 2016-02, Leases.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit MattersMatter
The critical audit mattersmatter communicated below are mattersis a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that werewas communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relaterelates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit mattersmatter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit mattersmatter below, providing a separate opinionsopinion on the critical audit mattersmatter or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.it relates.
Sufficiency of audit evidence over net sales
As discussed in Note 1 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the Company recognizes net sales when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The Company recorded $3,902.3$3,905.2 million of net sales in 2020.2021.
We identified the evaluation of the sufficiency of audit evidence over net sales as a critical audit matter. Evaluating the sufficiency of audit evidence obtained required especially subjective auditor judgment because of the geographical dispersion of the Company’s net sales generating activities. This included determining the Company locations for which procedures were performed.
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We applied auditor judgment to determine the nature and extent of procedures to be performed over net sales, including the determination of the Company locations for which those procedures were to be performed. At each Company location for which procedures were performed, we evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls over the Company’s net sales process, including the controls over the accurate recording of net sales. We assessed the recorded net sales for each of these locations by selecting transactions and comparing the amounts recognized for consistency with
underlying documentation, including contracts with customers, customer acceptance, and shipping documentation. We evaluated the sufficiency of audit evidence obtained by assessing the results of procedures performed, including the appropriateness of the nature and extent of audit effort.
As discussed in Notes 1 and 8 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company evaluates goodwill for impairment annually as of October 31 and when events or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the carrying value of a reporting unit below its reported amount. As of December 31, 2020, the Retail segment, which includes the EMEA Retail reporting unit, had $179.0 million of goodwill. The fair values of the reporting units are determined based on a combination of an income approach and a market approach. As of October 31, 2020, the Company determined that the fair value of all reporting units were in excess of their carrying values and therefore did not record any goodwill impairment. The estimated fair value of the EMEA Retail reporting unit at that date exceeded its carrying value by approximately 15%.
We identified the October 31, 2020 assessment of goodwill impairment for the EMEA Retail reporting unit as a critical audit matter because a high degree of subjective auditor judgment was required to evaluate the fair value of the reporting unit determined under the income approach. The key assumptions used in the income approach included revenue growth projections and the discount rate.
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls over the Company’s goodwill impairment process, including controls over the revenue growth projections and the discount rate. We performed sensitivity analyses over the revenue growth projections and the discount rate to assess their impact on the Company’s fair value determination. We compared the Company’s revenue growth projections used in the valuation model against peer company projected revenue growth rates. In addition, we involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge who assisted in:
–comparing the Company’s discount rate inputs to publicly-available market data and information for comparable entities to test the selected discount rate
–testing the estimate of fair value for the reporting unit using the Company’s key assumptions and comparing the result to the Company’s fair value estimate.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated:
Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020,2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 20202021 and 2019,2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2020,2021, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated March 1, 202111, 2022, expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated and its wholly- and majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the Company). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated, including common control transfers among subsidiaries of the Company.
Use of Estimates in Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements. The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Such estimates include revenue recognition, the valuation of trade and financing receivables, inventories, goodwill, intangible assets, other long-lived assets, legal contingencies, guarantee obligations and assumptions used in the calculation of income taxes, pension and other post-retirement benefits and customer incentives, among others. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors. Management monitors the economic condition and other factors and will adjust such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.
Reclassification. The Company has reclassified the presentation of certain prior-year information to conform to the current presentation.
International Operations. The financial statements of the Company’s international operations are measured using local currencies as their functional currencies, with the exception of certain financial results from Argentina, Singapore, El Salvador, and Switzerland, which have a functional currency other than local currency. These operations used either United States dollar (USD) or euro as their functional currency depending on the concentration of USD or euro transactions and distinct financial information. The Company translates the assets and liabilities of its non-U.S. subsidiaries at the exchange rates in effect at year end and the results of operations at the average rate throughout the year. The translation adjustments are recorded directly as a separate component of shareholders’ equity, while transaction gains (losses) are included in net income (loss).
Acquisitions and Divestitures. Acquisitions are accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. This method requires the Company to record assets and liabilities of the business acquired at their estimated fair market values as of the acquisition date. Any excess cost of the acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The Company generally uses valuation specialists to perform appraisals and assist in the determination of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. These valuations require management to make estimates and assumptions that are critical in determining the fair values of the assets and liabilities.
For all divestitures, the Company considers assets to be held for sale when management approves and commits to a formal plan to actively market the assets for sale at a price reasonable in relation to their estimated fair value, the assets are available for immediate sale in their present condition, an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the sale have been initiated, the sale of the assets is probable and expected to be completed within one year (or, if it is expected that others will impose conditions on the sale of the assets that will extend the period required to complete the sale, that a firm purchase commitment is probable within one year) and it is unlikely that significant changes will be made to the plan. Upon designation as held for sale, the Company records the assets at the lower of their carrying value or their estimated fair value, reduced for the cost to dispose of the assets, and ceases to record depreciation expense on the assets. Assets and liabilities are reclassified as held for sale in the period the held for sale criteria are met.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $73.4 and $20.3 of current assets and liabilities held for sale, respectively, primarily related to non-core businesses in Europe. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $64.7 and $15.4 of current assets and liabilities held for sale, respectively, primarily related to non-core businessesbusiness in Eurasia. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $233.3 and $113.4 of current assets and liabilities held for sale, respectively, primarily related to non-core business in Europe.
Revenue Recognition. Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The amount of consideration can vary depending on discounts, rebates, refunds, credits, price concessions, incentives, performance bonuses, penalties, or other similar items contained in the contract with the customer of which generally these variable consideration components represents minimal amount of net sales. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer.
The Company's payment terms vary depending on the individual contracts and are generally fixed fee. The Company recognizes advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized as deferred revenue. In certain contracts where
DIEBOLD NIXDORF, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
FORM 10-K as of December 31, 2020
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(in millions, except per share amounts)
services are provided prior to billing, the Company recognizes a contract asset within trade receivables and other current assets.
Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and that are collected by the Company from a customer are excluded from revenue.
The Company recognizes shipping and handling fees billed when products are shipped or delivered to a customer and includes such amounts in net sales. Although infrequent, shipping and handling associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer is not a separate performance obligation, rather it is accounted for as a fulfillment cost. Third-party freight payments are recorded in cost of sales.
The Company includes a warranty in connection with certain contracts with customers, which are not considered to be separate performance obligations. The Company provides its customers a manufacturer’s warranty, and records, at the time of the sale, a corresponding estimated liability for potential warranty costs. For additional information on product warranty refer to Note 9: Guarantees and Product Warranties. The Company also has extended warranty and service contracts available for its customers, which are recognized as separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized on these contracts ratably as the Company has a stand-ready obligation to provide services when or as needed by the customer. This input method is the most accurate assessment of progress toward completion the Company can apply.
Nature of goods and services
Product revenue is recognized at the point in time that the customer obtains control of the product, which could be upon delivery or upon completion of installation services, depending on contract terms. The Company’s software licenses are functional in nature (the IP has significant stand-alone functionality); as such, the revenue recognition of distinct software license sales is at the point in time that the customer obtains control of the rights granted by the license.
Professional services integrate the commercial solution with the customer's existing infrastructure and helps define the optimal user experience, improve business processes, refine existing staffing models and deploy technology to meet branch and store automation objectives. Revenue from professional services are recognized over time, because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the Company’s performance as the services are performed or when the Company’s performance creates an asset with no alternative use and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. Generally revenue will be recognized using an input measure, typically costs incurred. The typical contract length for service is generally one year and is billed and paid in advance except for installations, among others.
Services may be sold separately or in bundled packages. For bundled packages, the Company accounts for individual services separately if they are distinct. A distinct service is separately identifiable from other items in the bundled package if a customer can benefit from it on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer. The consideration (including any discounts) is allocated between separate services or distinct obligations in a bundle based on their stand-alone selling prices. The stand-alone selling prices are determined based on the prices at which the Company separately sells the products or services. For items that are not sold separately, the Company estimates stand-alone selling prices using the cost plus expected margin approach. Revenue on service contracts is recognized ratably over time, generally using an input measure, as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the Company’s performance as the services are performed. In some circumstances, when global service supply chain services are not included in a term contract and rather billed as they occur, revenue on these billed work services are recognized at a point in time as transfer of control occurs.
The following is a description of principal solutions offered within the Company's two main customer segments that generate the Company's revenue.
Banking
Products. Products for banking customers consist of cash recyclers and dispensers, intelligent deposit terminals, teller automation tools and kiosk technologies, as well as physical security solutions. The Company provides its banking customers front-end applications for consumer connection points and back-end platforms that manage channel transactions, operations and integration and facilitate omnichannel transactions, endpoint monitoring, remote asset management, customer marketing, merchandise management and analytics.

Contract balances
The following table provides 2020 and 2019 information about receivables and deferred revenue, which represent contract liabilities from contracts with customers:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| 2020 | | 2019 |
| Contract balance information | Trade Receivables | | Contract liabilities | | Trade Receivables | | Contract liabilities |
| Balance at January 1 | $ | 619.3 | | | $ | 320.5 | | | $ | 737.2 | | | $ | 378.2 | |
| Balance at December 31 | $ | 646.9 | | | $ | 346.8 | | | $ | 619.3 | | | $ | 320.5 | |
Contract assets are minimal for the periods presented. The amount of revenue recognized in 2020 and 2019 from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods, mainly due to the changes in the estimate of variable consideration and contract modifications was de minimis.
As of January 1, 2020, the Company had $320.5 of unrecognized deferred revenue constituting the remaining performance obligations that are either unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied. During 2020, the Company recognized revenue of $266.2 related to the Company's deferred revenue balance at January 1, 2020.
Contract assets are the rights to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the Company has transferred to a customer when that right is conditional on something other than the passage of time. Contract assets of the Company primarily relate to the Company's rights to consideration for goods shipped and services provided but not contractually billable at the reporting date.
The contract assets are reclassified into the receivables balance when the rights to receive payment become unconditional. Contract liabilities are recorded for any services billed to customers and not yet recognizable if the contract period has commenced or for the amount collected from customers in advance of the contract period commencing. In addition, contract liabilities are recorded as advanced payments for products and other deliverables that are billed to and collected from customers prior to revenue being recognizable.

Transaction price and variable consideration
The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties. This consideration can include fixed and variable amounts and is determined at contract inception and updated each reporting period for any changes in circumstances. The transaction price also considers variable consideration, time value of money and the measurement of any non-cash consideration, all of which are estimated at contract inception and updated at each reporting date for any changes in circumstances. Once the variable consideration is identified, the Company estimates the amount of the variable consideration to include in the transaction price by using one of two methods, expected value (probability weighted methodology) or most likely amount (when there are only two possible outcomes). The Company chooses the method expected to better predict the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled and applies the method consistently to similar contracts. Generally, the Company applies the expected value method when assessing variable consideration including returns and refunds.
The Company also applies the ‘as invoiced’ practical expedient in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) paragraph 606-10-55-18 related to performance obligations satisfied over time, which permits the Company to recognize revenue in the amount to which it has a right to invoice the customer if that amount corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance completed to date. Service revenues that are recognized ratably are primarily contracts that include first and second line maintenance. Service revenues that are recognized using input measures include primarily preventative maintenance. The ‘as invoiced’ practical expedient relates to the on-demand service revenue which is generally not under contract.
Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations
As of December 31, 2020, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was approximately $1,500. The Company generally expects to recognize revenue on the remaining performance obligations over the next twelve months. The Company enters into service agreements with cancellable terms after a certain period without penalty. Unsatisfied obligations reflect only the obligation during the initial term. The Company applies the practical expedient in ASC paragraph 606-10-50-14 and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less.
Cost to obtain and cost to fulfill a contract
The Company has minimal cost to obtain or fulfill contracts for customers for the periods presented. The Company pays commissions to the sales force based on multiple factors including but not limited to order entry, revenue recognition and portfolio growth. These incremental commission fees paid to the sales force meet the criteria to be considered a cost to obtain a contract, as they are directly attributable to a contract, incremental and management expects the fees are recoverable. The Company applies the practical expedient and recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. The costs that are not capitalized are included in cost of sales. The costs related to contracts with greater than a one-year term are immaterial and continue to be recognized in cost of sales.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales for services primarily consists of fuel, parts and labor and benefits costs related to installation of products and service maintenance contracts, including call center costs as well as costs for service parts repair centers. Cost of sales for products is primarily comprised of direct materials and supplies consumed in the manufacturing and distribution of products, as well as related labor, depreciation expense and direct overhead expense necessary to acquire and convert the purchased materials and supplies into finished products. Cost of sales for products also includes the cost to distribute products to customers, inbound freight costs, internal transfer costs, warehousing costs and other shipping and handling activity.

Property, plant and equipment and long-lived assets. Property, plant and equipment and long-lived assets are recorded at historical cost, including interest where applicable.
Impairment of property, plant and equipment and long-lived assets is recognized when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If the expected future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized at that time to reduce the asset to the lower of its fair value or its net book value.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful life for each asset class. Amortization of leasehold improvements is based upon the shorter of original terms of the lease or life of the improvement. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Generally, amortization of the Company’s other long-term assets, such as intangible assets and capitalized software development, is computed using the straight-line method over the life of the asset.

Fully depreciated assets are retained until disposal. Upon disposal, assets and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and the net amount, less proceeds from disposal, is charged or credited to operations.
Advertising Costs. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and were $7.1, $7.2 and $7.5 in 2021, 2020 and $10.1 in 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively.
Research, Development and Engineering. Research, development and engineering costs are expensed as incurred and were $126.3, $133.4 $147.1 and $157.4$147.1 for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 2019 and 2018,2019, respectively. This excludes certain software development costs of $31.1, $17.2, and $23.1 in 2021, 2020 and $29.8 in 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively, which are capitalized after technological feasibility of the software is established.
Shipping and Handling Costs. The Company recognizes shipping and handling fees billed when products are shipped or delivered to a customer and includes such amounts in net sales. Third-party freight payments are recorded in cost of sales.
Taxes on Income. Deferred taxes are provided on an asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, operating loss carry-forwards and tax credits. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences and undistributed earnings in certain tax jurisdictions. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Determination of a valuation allowance involves estimates regarding the timing and amount of the reversal of taxable temporary differences, expected future taxable income and the impact of tax planning strategies. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
The Company regularly assesses its position with regard to tax exposures and records liabilities for these uncertain tax positions and related interest and penalties, if any, when the tax benefit is not more likely than not realizable. The Company has recorded an accrual that reflects the recognition and measurement process for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Additional future income tax expense or benefit may be recognized once the positions are effectively settled.
Sales Tax. The Company collects sales taxes from customers and accounts for sales taxes on a net basis.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash. The Company considers highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company had 0no restricted cash at December 31, 20202021 and $3.6 of restricted cash at December 31, 2019.2020.
Financial Instruments. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade receivables and accounts payable approximated their fair value because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The Company’s risk-management strategy utilizesallows for derivative financial instruments such as forwards to hedge certain foreign currency exposures and interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk. The intent is to offset gains and losses that occur on the underlying exposures, with gains and losses on the derivative contracts hedging these exposures. The Company does not enter into derivatives for trading purposes. The Company recognizes all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair values of derivatives that are not designated as hedges are recognized in earnings. If the derivative is designated and qualifies as a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivatives are either offset against the change in the hedged assets or liabilities through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings.

The hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value is divided into three levels:
| | | | | | | | |
| Fair value level | | Description |
| Level 1 | | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Fair value of investments categorized as level 1 are determined based on period end closing prices in active markets. Mutual funds are valued at their net asset value (NAV) on the last day of the period. |
| 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.
Fair value of investments categorized as level 2 are determined based on the latest available ask price or latest trade price if listed. The fair value of unlisted securities is established by fund managers using the latest reported information for comparable securities and financial analysis. If the manager believes the fund is not capable of immediately realizing the fair value otherwise determined, the manager has the discretion to determine an appropriate value. Common collective trusts are valued at NAV on the last day of the period. |
| Level 3 | | Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data. |
| Net asset value | | Fair value of investments categorized as NAV represent the plan’s interest in private equity, hedge and property funds. The fair value for these assets is determined based on the NAV as reported by the underlying investment managers. |
A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company uses the end of the period when determining the timing of transfers between levels.
Short-Term Investments The Company has investments in certificates of deposit that are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value.
Assets Held in Rabbi Trusts / Deferred Compensation The fair value of the assets held in rabbi trusts (refer to Note 7: Investments) is derived from investments in a mix of money market, fixed income and equity funds. The related deferred compensation liability is also recorded at fair value.
Foreign Exchange Contracts The valuation of foreign exchange forward and option contracts is determined using valuation techniques, including option models tailored for currency derivatives. These contracts are valued using the market approach based on observable market inputs. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including spot rates, foreign currency forward rates, the interest rate curve of the domestic currency, and foreign currency volatility for the given currency pair.
Forward Contracts A substantial portion of the Company’s operations and revenues are international. As a result, changes in foreign exchange rates can create substantial foreign exchange gains and losses from the revaluation of non-functional currency monetary assets and liabilities.
Option Contracts A put option gives the purchaser of the option the right to sell, and the writer of the option the obligation to buy, the underlying security at any time during the option period. A call option gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy, and the writer of the option the obligation to sell, the underlying security at any time during the option period. The gain or loss on these non-designated derivative instruments is reflected in other income (expense) miscellaneous, net in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.
Interest Rate Swaps The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Carrying Value The fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and accounts payable approximate the carrying value due to the relative short maturity of these instruments.
Refer to Note 18:19: Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities for further details of assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurement.

Financing Receivables. The Company records the lifetime expected loss on uncollectible notes and finance lease receivables (collectively, financing receivables) on a customer-by-customer basis and evaluates specific customer circumstances, aging of invoices, credit risk changes, payment patterns and historical loss experience with consideration given to current trends. After all efforts at collection have been unsuccessful, the account is deemed uncollectible and is written off.
Inventories. The Company primarily values inventories using average or standard costing utilizing lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company identifies and writes down its excess and obsolete inventories to net realizable value based on usage forecasts, order volume and inventory aging. With the development of new products, the Company also rationalizes its product offerings and will write-down discontinued products to the lower of cost or net realizable value.
Deferred Revenue. Deferred revenue is recorded for any services billed to customers and not yet recognizable if the contract period has commenced or for the amount collected from customers in advance of the contract period commencing. In addition, deferred revenue is recorded for products and other deliverables that are billed to and collected from customers prior to revenue being recognizable.
Goodwill. Goodwill is the cost in excess of the net assets of acquired businesses (refer to Note 8: Goodwill and Intangible Assets). Thebusinesses.The Company tests all existing goodwill at least annually for impairment on a reporting unit basis. The annual goodwill impairment test was performed as of October 31 for all periods presented.
The Company tests for interim impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the carrying value of a reporting unit below its reported amount. Each year, the Company may elect to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. In evaluating whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company considers the following events and circumstances, among others, if applicable: (a) macroeconomic conditions such as general economic conditions, limitations on accessing capital or other developments in equity and credit markets; (b) industry and market considerations such as competition, multiples or metrics and changes in the market for the Company's products and services or regulatory and political environments; (c) cost factors such as raw materials, labor or other costs; (d) overall financial performance such as cash flows, actual and planned revenue and earnings compared with actual and projected results of relevant prior periods; (e) other relevant events such as changes in key personnel, strategy or customers; (f) changes in the composition of a reporting unit's assets or expected sales of all or a portion of a reporting unit; and (g) any sustained decrease in share price.
If the Company's qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, or if management elects to perform a quantitative assessment of goodwill, an impairment test is used to identify potential goodwill impairment and measure the amount of any impairment loss to be recognized. The Company compares the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying value and recognizes an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The fair value of the reporting units is determined based upon a combination of the income valuation and market approach in valuation methodology. The income approach uses discounted estimated future cash flows, whereas the market approach or guideline public company method utilizes market data of similar publicly traded companies. The fair value of the reporting unit is defined as the price that would be received to sell the net assets or transfer the net liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the assessment date.

The techniques used in the Company's qualitativequantitative assessment incorporate a number of assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable and to reflect market conditions forecast at the assessment date. Assumptions in estimating future cash flows are subject to a high degree of judgment. The Company makes all efforts to forecast future cash flows as accurately as possible with the information available at the time the forecast is made. To this end, the Company evaluates the appropriateness of its assumptions as well as its overall forecasts by comparing projected results of upcoming years with actual results of preceding years and validating that differences therein are reasonable. Assumptions, which include Level 3 inputs, relate to revenue growth, material and operating costs, and discount rate. Changes in assumptions and estimates after the assessment date may lead to an outcome where impairment charges would be required in future periods. Specifically, actual results may vary from the Company’s forecasts and such variations may be material and unfavorable, thereby triggering the need for future impairment tests where the conclusions may differ in reflection of prevailing market conditions.
Contingencies. Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. As additional information becomes available, any potential liability related to these matters is assessed and the estimates are revised, if necessary. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.
Pensions and Other Post-retirement Benefits. Annual net periodic expense and benefit liabilities under the Company’s defined benefit plans are determined on an actuarial basis. Assumptions used in the actuarial calculations have a significant impact on plan obligations and expense. The Company periodically reviews actual experience compared with the more significant assumptions used and make adjustments to the assumptions, if warranted. The healthcare trend rates are reviewed based upon the results of actual claims experience. The discount rate is determined by analyzing the average return of high-quality (i.e., AA-rated) fixed-income investments and the year-over-year comparison of certain widely used benchmark indices as of the measurement date. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is determined using the plans’ current asset allocation and their expected rates of return based on a geometric averaging over 20 years. The rate of compensation increase assumptions reflects the Company’s long-term actual experience and future and near-term outlook. Pension benefits are funded through deposits with trustees or directly by the plan administrator. Other post-retirement benefits are not funded and the Company’s policy is to pay these benefits as they become due.
The Company recognizes the funded status of each of its plans in the consolidated balance sheets. Amortization of unrecognized net gain or loss resulting from experience different from that assumed and from changes in assumptions (excluding asset gains and losses not yet reflected in market-related value) is included as a component of net periodic benefit cost for a year if, as of the beginning of the year, that unrecognized net gain or loss exceeds 5 percent of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or the market-related value of plan assets. If amortization is required, the amortization is that excess divided by the average remaining service period of participating employees expected to receive benefits under the plan.
The Company records a curtailment when an event occurs that significantly reduces the expected years of future service or eliminates the accrual of defined benefits for the future services of a significant number of employees. A curtailment gain is recorded when the employees who are entitled to the benefits terminate their employment; a curtailment loss is recorded when it becomes probable a loss will occur. Upon a settlement, the Company recognizes the proportionate amount of the unamortized gains and losses if the cost of all settlements during the year exceeds the interest component of net periodic cost for the affected plan.
Noncontrolling Interests and Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests. Noncontrolling interests represent the portion of profit or loss, net assets and comprehensive income that is not allocable to the Company.
Noncontrolling interests with redemption features, such as put rights, that are not solely within the Company’s control are considered redeemable noncontrolling interests. Redeemable noncontrolling interests are presented outside of equity on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The balance of redeemable noncontrolling interests is reported at the greater of its carrying value or its maximum redemption value at each reporting date. Refer to Note 12: Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests for more information.
Related Party Transactions. The Company has certain strategic alliances that are not consolidated. The Company's strategic alliances are not significant subsidiaries and are accounted for under the equity method of investments. The Company owns 48.1 percent of Inspur (Suzhou) Financial Information Technology Co., Ltd (Inspur JV) and 43.649.0 percent of Aisino-Wincor Retail & Banking Systems (Shanghai) Co., Ltd (Aisino JV) as of December 31, 2020.2021.

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance on a company's accounting for implementation fees paid in a cloud computing service contract arrangement that addresses which implementation costs to capitalize as an asset and which costs to expense. Capitalized implementation fees are to be expensed over the term of the cloud computing arrangement, and the expense is required to be recognized in the same line item in the income statement as the associated hosting service expenses. The entity is also required to present the capitalized implementation fees on the balance sheet in the same line item as it would present a prepayment for hosting service fees associated with the cloud computing arrangement. Cash payments for cloud computing arrangements (CCA) implementation costs are classified as cash outflows from operating activities. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020 using a prospective transition method. The Company has capitalized $50.7 and $27.1 of cloud-based software implementation fees in 2020 related to its upcoming ERP conversion to the Other assets caption on the December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 consolidated balance sheet.

| | On March 2, 2020, the SEC issued a final rule that amended the disclosure requirements related to certain registered securities under SEC Regulation S-X, Rule 3-10, which required separate financial statements for subsidiary issuers and guarantors of registered debt securities unless certain exceptions are met. The final rule replaces the previous requirement under Rule 3-10 to provide consolidating financial information in the registrant’s financial statements with a requirement to provide alternative financial disclosures. As a result, we have excluded the footnote disclosures required under the previous Rule 3-10, and applied the final rule by including the summarized financial information and qualitative disclosures in Part II - Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. | | January 4, 2021 (early adopted beginning in the period ended September 30, 2020) |

NOTE 2: EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share includes the dilutive effect of potential common shares outstanding. Under the two-class method of computing earnings (loss) per share, non-vested share-based payment awards that contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends are considered participating securities. The Company’s participating securities include restricted stock units (RSUs), director deferred shares and shares that were vested but deferred by employees. The Company calculated basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share under both the treasury stock method and the two-class method. For the years presented there were no differences in the earnings (loss) per share amounts calculated using the two methods. Accordingly, the treasury stock method is disclosed below; however, because the weighted-average numberCompany is in a net loss position, dilutive shares of 1.2, 1.2 and 1.6 for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, are excluded from the shares used in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share are excluded due to the Company's net loss.share.

The Company uses historical data to estimate the expected life within the valuation model. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the price of the Company’s common shares over the expected life of the equity instrument. The risk-free rate of interest is based on a zero-coupon U.S. government instrument over the expected life of the equity instrument. The expected dividend yield is based on actual dividends paid per share and the price of the Company’s common shares.

The effective tax rate for 2021 was (54.6) percent. Tax expense items contributing to the difference from the U.S. federal income tax rate included valuation allowances related to certain foreign and U.S. tax attributes for which realization does not meet the more likely than not criteria, U.S. tax on foreign income, withholding taxes, non-deductible expenses and other items. These items were partially offset by benefits related to settling certain open tax years in Germany and the U.S. and other changes to uncertain tax position accruals, non taxable incentives, and other items.
The effective tax rate for 2020 was 0.4 percent. Tax expense items contributing to the difference from the U.S. federal income tax rate included U.S. tax on foreign income, valuation allowances related to certain foreign and U.S. tax attributes for which realization does not meet the more likely than not criteria, non-deductible expenses, and the tax effects of terminating certain COLIcompany-owned life insurance (COLI) policies. These items were partially offset by tax credits, benefits related to settling certain open tax years in Germany and the U.S., changes to uncertain tax position accruals, and benefit related to regulations issued in 2020 related to US tax reform.
The US Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Tax Act) was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Tax Act reduced the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent, required companies to pay a one-time transition tax on earnings for certain foreign subsidiaries and created new taxes on certain foreign sourced earnings. The Company accounted for the estimated impacts of the Tax Act in the year of enactment and finalized its accounting, as required under SAB 118, during 2018. During 2020, further regulations were issued in connection with certain provisions of the Tax Act related to taxes on foreign sourced earnings, with retroactive effect to 2018 and 2019. The Company calculated and recorded a benefit related to these regulatory changes of $9.1 and will amend its 2018 and 2019 returns accordingly.
The effective tax rate for 2019 was (51.0) percent and was primarily due to the U.S. taxed foreign income, including GILTI,global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI), valuation allowances recorded on certain foreign and state jurisdictions, U.S. foreign tax credits that management concluded did not meet the more likely than not criteria for realization and the tax effects related to the Barbados structure collapse. The Company’s collapse of its Barbados structure to meet the covenant requirements under its credit agreement resulted in a net tax expense of $46.3 inclusive of the offsetting valuation allowance release relating to the Company’s nondeductible interest expense that was carried forward from December 31, 2018.
The effective tax rate for 2018 was (7.8) percent on the overall loss from operations and was primarily due to a goodwill impairment charge, the impact of the Tax Act, valuation allowances on interest expense carryforward attributes and certain foreign and state credits. 2018 tax expense reflects the reduction of the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent, refinement of the impacts of the Tax Act estimated under SAB 118, goodwill impairment charge, which for tax purposes is primarily nondeductible and the business interest deduction limitation. In addition, the overall effective tax rate is impacted by the jurisdictional income (loss) and varying respective statutory rates which is reflected in the foreign tax rate differential caption of the rate reconciliation.
The Company recognizes the benefit of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in its tax returns in the consolidated financial statements when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by authorities. Recognized tax positions are measured at the largest amount of benefit that is more likely than not of being realized upon settlement.

The remaining $40.0 relates to a prior year tax return position, which if recognized, would be offset by changes in valuation allowances and have no effect on the Company's effective tax rate.
The Company classifies interest expense and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes in the consolidated financial statements as income tax expense. As of December 31, 20202021 and 2019,2020, accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits totaled $3.7$1.7 and $8.5,$3.7, respectively.

NOTE 15: BENEFIT PLANS
Qualified Retirement Benefits. The Company has a qualified retirement plansplan covering certain U.S. employees that havehas been closed to new participants since 2003 and frozen since December 2013. Plans that cover salaried employees provide retirement benefits based on the employee’s compensation during the ten years before the date of the plan freeze or the date of their actual separation from service, if earlier. The Company’s funding policy for salaried plans is to contribute annually based on actuarial projections and applicable regulations. Plans covering hourly employees generally provide benefits of stated amounts for each year of service. The Company’s funding policy for hourly plans is to make at least the minimum annual contributions required by applicable regulations.
The Company has a number of non-U.S. defined benefit plans covering eligible employees located predominately in Europe, the most significant of which are German plans. Benefits for these plans are based primarily on each employee's final salary, with annual adjustments for inflation. The obligations in Germany consist of employer funded pension plans and deferred compensation plans. The employer funded pension plans are based upon direct performance-related commitments in terms of defined contribution plans. Each beneficiary receives, depending on individual pay-scale grouping, contractual classification, or income level, different yearly contributions. The contribution is multiplied by an age factor appropriate to the respective pension plan and credited to the individual retirement account of the employee. The retirement accounts may be used up at retirement by either a one-time lump-sum payout or payments of up to ten years.
The Company has other defined benefit plans outside the U.S., which have not been mentioned here due to materiality.
Supplemental Executive Retirement Benefits. The Company has non-qualified pension plans in the U.S. to provide supplemental retirement benefits to certain officers, which werehave also been frozen since December 2013. Benefits are payable at retirement based upon a percentage of the participant’s compensation, as defined.
Other Benefits. In addition to providing retirement benefits, the Company provides post-retirement healthcare and life insurance benefits (referred to as other benefits) for certain retired employees. Retired eligible employees in the U.S. may be entitled to these benefits based upon years of service with the Company, age at retirement and collective bargaining agreements. There are no plan assets and the Company funds the benefits as the claims are paid. The post-retirement benefit

The discount rate is determined by analyzing the average return of high-quality (i.e., AA-rated) fixed-income investments and the year-over-year comparison of certain widely used benchmark indices as of the measurement date. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is primarily determined using the plan’s current asset allocation and its expected rates of return. The Company also considers information provided by its investment consultant, a survey of other companies using a December 31 measurement date and the Company’s historical asset performance in determining the expected long-term rate of return. The rate of compensation increase assumptions reflects the Company’s long-term actual experience and future and near-term outlook.
During 2019,2021, the Society of Actuaries released new mortality tables (Pri-2012) and projection scales resulting from recent studies measuring mortality rates for various groups of individuals. As of December 31, 2020,2021, the Company used the Pri-2012 mortality tables and the MP-2020MP-2021 mortality projection scales. The Pri-2012 mortality tables were also used in 2019,2020, but in conjunction with the MP-2019MP-2020 mortality projection scaled.
The following table represents assumed healthcare cost trend rates at December 31:
| | | 2020 | | 2019 | | 2021 | | 2020 |
| Healthcare cost trend rate assumed for next year | Healthcare cost trend rate assumed for next year | 6.3 | % | | 6.5 | % | Healthcare cost trend rate assumed for next year | 5.6% | | 6.3% |
| Rate to which the cost trend rate is assumed to decline (the ultimate trend rate) | Rate to which the cost trend rate is assumed to decline (the ultimate trend rate) | 5.0 | % | | 5.5 | % | Rate to which the cost trend rate is assumed to decline (the ultimate trend rate) | 4.0% | | 5.0% |
| Year that rate reaches ultimate trend rate | Year that rate reaches ultimate trend rate | 2025 | | 2025 | Year that rate reaches ultimate trend rate | 2045 | | 2025 |
The healthcare trend rates for the postemployment benefits plans in the U.S. are reviewed based upon the results of actual claims experience. The Company used initial healthcare cost trends of 5.6 percent and 6.3 percent in 2021 and 6.5 percent in 2020, and 2019, respectively, with an ultimate trend rate of 5.04.0 percent reached in 2025.2045. Assumed healthcare cost trend rates have a modest effect on the amounts reported for the healthcare plans.
A one-percentage-point change in assumed healthcare cost trend rates results in a minimal impact to total service and interest cost and post-retirement benefit obligation.
The Company has a pension investment policy in the U.S. designed to achieve an adequate funded status based on expected benefit payouts and to establish an asset allocation that will meet or exceed the return assumption while maintaining a prudent level of risk. The plans' target asset allocation adjusts based on the plan's funded status. As the funded status improves or declines, the debt security target allocation will increase and decrease, respectively. The Company utilizes the services of an outside consultant in performing asset / liability modeling, setting appropriate asset allocation targets along with selecting and monitoring professional investment managers.
The U.S. plan assets are invested in equity and fixed income securities, alternative assets and cash. Within the equities asset class, the investment policy provides for investments in a broad range of publicly-traded securities including both domestic and international stocks diversified by value, growth and cap size. Within the fixed income asset class, the investment policy provides for investments in a broad range of publicly-traded debt securities with a substantial portion allocated to a long duration strategy in order to partially offset interest rate risk relative to the plans’ liabilities. The alternative asset class includes investments in diversified strategies with a stable and proven track record and low correlation to the U.S. stock market. Several plans outside of the U.S. are also invested in various assets, under various investment policies in compliance with local funding regulations.

NOTE 16: LEASES
The Company utilizes lease agreements to meet its operating needs. These leases support global staff via the use of office space, warehouses, vehicles and IT equipment. The Company utilizes both operating and finance leases in its portfolio of leased assets, however, the majority of these leases are classified as operating. A significant portion of the volume of the lease portfolio is in fleet vehicles and IT office equipment; however, real estate leases constitute a majority of the value of the right-

The Company made the following elections related to the January 1, 2019 adoption of ASU No. 2016-02, Leases:
| | | | | |
| ● | The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which allowed the Company to carry forward its ASC 840 assessment regarding definition of a lease, lease classification and initial direct costs. |
| ● | The practical expedient related to land easements is not applicable as the Company currently does not utilize any easements. |
| ● | The Company declined the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease term and ROU asset impairment for existing leases. The decision to decline the hindsight practical expedient resulted in relying on assessments made under ASC 840 during transition and re-assessing under ASC 842 going forward. |
| ● | The Company declined the short-term lease exception, therefore recognizing all leases in the ROU asset and lease liability balances. Consistent with ASC 842 requirements, leases that are one month or less are not included in the balance. |
| ● | The Company elected to not separate non-lease components from lease components and, instead, to account for each separate lease component and the non-lease components associated with it as a single lease component, recognized on the balance sheet. This election has been made for all classes of underlying assets. |
| ● | The Company elected to use a grouping/portfolio approach on applying discount rates to leases at transition, for certain groups of leases where it was determined that using this approach would not differ materially from a lease-by-lease approach. |
The Company's lease population has initial lease terms ranging from less than one year to approximately tenfifteen years. Some leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from six months to 15 years. The Company assesses these renewal/extension options using a threshold of reasonably certain, which is a high threshold and, therefore, the majority of its lease terms for accounting purposes do not include renewal periods. For leases where the Company is reasonably certain to renew, those optional periods are included within the lease term and, therefore, the measurement of the ROU asset and lease liability. Some of the vehicle and IT equipment leases also include options to purchase the leased asset, typically at end of term at fair market value. Some of the Company's leases include options to terminate the lease early. This allows the contract parties to terminate their obligations under the lease contract, sometimes in return for an agreed upon financial consideration. The terms and conditions of the termination options vary by contract, and for those leases where the Company is reasonably certain to use these options, the term and payments recognized in the measurement of ROU assets and lease liabilities has been updated accordingly. Additionally, there are several open-ended lease arrangements where the Company controls the option to continue or terminate the arrangement at any time after the first year. For these arrangements, the Company has analyzed a mix of historical use and future economic incentives to determine the reasonable expected holding period. This term is used for measurement of ROU assets and lease liabilities.
The following table summarizes the weighted-average remaining lease terms and discount rates related to the Company's lease population:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | |
| December 31, 2020 | | December 31, 2019 |

| Weighted-average discount rate | | | |
| Operating leases | 11.0 | % | | 11.8 | % |
| Finance leases | 10.6 | % | | 20.8 | % |
The weighted-average discount rates used for operating and finance leases varies due to the jurisdictional composition. In 2019, the Company's finance leases were primarily comprised of leases in Turkey, which have higher interest rates. The weighted-average discount rate for finance leases decreased in 2020 compared to 2019 due to an increase in finance leases globally that had rates lower than the rates for Turkish leases. | | | | | | | | | | | |

Certain lease agreements include payments based on a variety of global indexes or rates. These payment amounts have been projected using the index or rate as of lease commencement or the transition date and measured in ROU assets and lease liabilities. Other leases contain variable payments that are based on actual usage of the underlying assets and, therefore, are not measured in assets or liabilities as the variable payments are not based on an index or a rate. For real estate leases, these payments are most often tied to non-committed maintenance or utilities charges, and for equipment leases, to actual output or

hours in operation. These amounts typically become known when the invoice is received, which is when expense is recognized. In rare circumstances, the Company's lease agreements may contain residual value guarantees. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any restrictions or covenants, such as those relating to dividends or incurring additional financial obligations.

During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company signed a lease agreements for a new corporate headquarters in Hudson, Ohio, as well asagreement for an updated manufacturing facility in North Canton, Ohio. These leases haveThis lease has not reached theirits commencement date, but havehas a 15-year termsterm and have cumulativehas initial annual lease obligations of $1.9.$0.8. Otherwise, at December 31, 2020,2021, the Company did not have any material leases that have not yet commenced.
The Company determines whether an arrangement is or includes a lease at contract inception. All contracts containing the right to use an underlying asset are reviewed to confirm that the contract meets the definition of a lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date and initially measured based on the present value of lease payments over the defined lease term.
As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. In order to apply the incremental borrowing rate, a rate table was developed to assign the appropriate rate to each lease based on lease term and currency of payments. For leases with large numbers of underlying assets, a portfolio approach with a collateralized rate was utilized. Assets were grouped based on similar lease terms and economic environments in a manner whereby the Company reasonably expects that the application does not differ materially from a lease-by-lease approach.

NOTE 17:18: DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of businessconditions and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages certain economic risks, including interest rate and foreign exchange rate risk, through the use of derivative financial instruments. The Company’s derivative foreign currency instruments are used to manage differences in the amount of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and cash payments principally related to the Company’s non-functional currency assets and liabilities. The Company's interest rate derivatives are used to manage interest expense on variable interest rate borrowings.
The Company uses derivatives to mitigate the economic consequences associated with fluctuations in currencies and interest rates. The following table summarizes the gain (loss) recognized on derivative instruments:

FOREIGN EXCHANGE
Non-Designated Hedges. A substantial portion of the Company’s operations and revenues are international. As a result, changes in foreign exchange rates can create substantial foreign exchange gains and losses from the revaluation of non-functional currency monetary assets and liabilities. The Company’s policy allows the use of foreign exchange forward contracts with maturities of up to 24 months to mitigate the impact of currency fluctuations on those foreign currency asset and liability balances. The Company elected not to apply hedge accounting to its foreign exchange forward contracts. Thus, spot-based gains/losses offset revaluation gains/losses within foreign exchange loss, net and forward-based gains/losses represent interest expense or income. The fair value of the Company’s non-designated foreign exchange forward contracts was $0.3 and $(0.4) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Cash Flow Hedges. The Company is exposed to fluctuations in various foreign currencies against its functional currency. At the Company,In many instances, both sales and purchases are transacted in foreign currencies. Diebold Nixdorf Systems GmbH, a EUR-functional currency subsidiary of Wincor Nixdorf International GmbH (WNI), is the Diebold Nixdorf AG currency management center. Currency risks in the aggregate are identified, quantified, and controlled at the WNI treasury center, and furthermore, it provides foreign currencies if necessary. The Diebold Nixdorf AG subsidiaries are primarily exposed to the GBP as the EUR is its functional currency. Thisforeign exchange risk is considerably reduced by natural hedging (i.e. managementdue to purchase of sales and purchases by choice location and suppliers). For the remainder of the risk that is not naturally hedged, foreign currency forwards are used to manage the exposure between EUR-GBP.
Procomp Amazonia Industria Electronica S.A. is a BRL-functional-currency subsidiary of Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated that,
on a routine basis and in the normal course of business, makes inventory purchasesraw materials that are denominated in USD. Upon the
completion of customs clearance, accounts payable and inventory are recorded using the daily spot USD-BRL exchange rate,
and released to cost of goods sold as inventory is sold. Such expensespurchases expose the Company to exchange rate fluctuations

WNI, a EUR-functional currency subsidiary, is exposed to foreign exchange risk due to sales that are denominated inventory purchases.in GBP. To hedge this risk, the Company enters into and designates certain foreign currency forward contracts to sell GBP and buy EUR as cash flow hedges of the Company’s GBP-denominated intercompany sales.
Derivative instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. For transactions designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value are recorded in AOCI and are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transactions impact earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings.

INTEREST RATE
Cash Flow Hedges. The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. Amounts reported in AOCI related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. The Company estimates that a minimal amount will be reclassified as a decrease to interest expense over the next year.
In March 2020 and September 2019, the Company entered into multiple pay-fixed receive-variable interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $250.0 and $500.0, respectively. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in AOCI and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings.
Amounts reported in AOCI related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. The Company estimates that a minimal amount will be reclassified as a decrease to interest expense over the next year.
As a result of the Company's refinancing activities in July 2020 (refer to Note 11: Debt), the Company terminated $625.0 of interest rate hedges for a termination payout of $6.2.
Other than noted above, theThe Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and currently does not have any additional derivatives that are not designated as hedges.

Indirect Tax Contingencies
The Company accrues non-income-tax liabilities for indirect tax matters when management believes that a loss is probable and the amounts can be reasonably estimated, while contingent gains are recognized only when realized. In the event any losses are sustained in excess of accruals, they are charged against income. In evaluating indirect tax matters, management takes into consideration factors such as historical experience with matters of similar nature, specific facts and circumstances, and the likelihood of prevailing. Management evaluates and updates accruals as matters progress over time. It is reasonably possible that some of the matters for which accruals have not been established could be decided unfavorably to the Company and could require recognizing future expenditures. Also, statutes of limitations could expire without the Company paying the taxes for matters for which accruals have been established, which could result in the recognition of future gains upon reversal of these accruals at that time.
At December 31, 2020,2021, the Company was a party to several routine indirect tax claims from various taxing authorities globally that were incurred in the normal course of business, which neither individually nor in the aggregate are considered material by management in relation to the Company’s financial position or results of operations. In management’s opinion, the consolidated financial statements would not be materially affected by the outcome of these indirect tax claims and/or proceedings or asserted claims.
In addition to these routine indirect tax matters, the Company was a party to the proceedings described below:
The Company has challenged multiple customs rulings in Thailand seeking to retroactively collect customs duties on previous imports of ATMs. In August 2017, March, 2019, August 2019 and May 2020 the Supreme Court of Thailand ruled in the Company’s favor; finding each time that Customs' attempt to collect duties for importation of ATMs is improper. The surviving matters are immaterial and the Company believes a loss is not probable and accordingly, does not have any amount accrued for this contingency.
A loss contingency is reasonably possible if it has a more than remote but less than probable chance of occurring. Although management believes the Company has valid defenses with respect to its indirect tax positions, it is reasonably possible that a loss could occur in excess of the estimated accrual. The Company estimated the aggregate risk at December 31, 20202021 to be up to $74.0$55.8 for its material indirect tax matters. The aggregate risk related to indirect taxes is adjusted as the applicable statutes of limitations expire.
Legal Contingencies
At December 31, 2020,2021, the Company was a party to several lawsuits that were incurred in the normal course of business, which neither individually nor in the aggregate were considered material by management in relation to the Company’s financial position or results of operations. In management’s opinion, the Company's consolidated financial statements would not be materially affected by the outcome of these legal proceedings, commitments or asserted claims.

In addition to these normal course of business litigation matters, the Company was a party to the proceedings described below:
Diebold KGaA is a party to two separate appraisal proceedings (Spruchverfahren) in connection with the purchase of all shares in its former listed subsidiary, Diebold Nixdorf AG. Both proceedings are pending at the same Chamber for Commercial Matters (Kammer fur Hangelssachen) at the District Court (Landgericht) of Dortmund (Germany). The first appraisal proceeding relates to the DPLTA entered into by Diebold KGaA and former Diebold Nixdorf AG, which became effective on February 17, 2017. The DPLTA appraisal proceeding was filed by minority shareholders of Diebold Nixdorf AG challenging the adequacy of both the cash exit compensation of €55.02 per Diebold Nixdorf AG share (of which 6.9 shares were then outstanding) and the annual recurring compensation of €2.82 per Diebold Nixdorf AG share offered in connection with the DPLTA.
The second appraisal proceeding relates to the cash merger squeeze-out of minority shareholders of Diebold Nixdorf AG in 2019. The squeeze-out appraisal proceeding was filed by former minority shareholders of Diebold Nixdorf AG challenging the adequacy of the cash exit compensation of €54.80 per Diebold Nixdorf AG share (of which 1.4 shares were then outstanding) in connection with the merger squeeze-out.
In both appraisal proceedings, a court ruling would apply to all Diebold Nixdorf AG shares outstanding at the time when the DPLTA or the merger squeeze-out, respectively, became effective. Any cash compensation received by former Diebold Nixdorf AG shareholders in connection with the merger squeeze-out would be netted with any higher cash compensation such shareholder may still claim in connection with the DPLTA appraisal proceeding. While the Company believes that the compensation offered in connection with the DPLTA and the merger squeeze-out was in both cases fair, it notes that German courts often adjudicate increases of the cash compensation to plaintiffs in varying amounts in connection with German appraisal proceedings. Therefore, the Company cannot rule out that the first instance court or an appellate court may increase the cash

In July and August 2019, shareholders filed putative class action lawsuits alleging violations of federal securities laws in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and the Northern District of Ohio. The lawsuits collectively assert that the Company and three former officers (collectively, Defendants) made material misstatements regarding the Company’s business and operations, causing the Company’s common stock to be overvalued from February 14, 2017 to August 1, 2018.

Bank Guarantees, Standby Letters of Credit, andSurety Bonds
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may issue performance guarantees on behalf of its subsidiaries to certain 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. At December 31, 2021, the maximum future contractual obligations relative to these various guarantees totaled $155.6, of which $24.0 represented standby letters of credit to insurance providers, and no associated liability was recorded. At December 31, 2020, the maximum future payment obligations relative to these various guarantees totaled $89.9, of which $25.8 represented standby letters of credit to insurance providers, and no associated liability was recorded.

NOTE 21: REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The amount of consideration can vary depending on discounts, rebates, refunds, credits, price concessions, incentives, performance bonuses, penalties, or other similar items contained in the contract with the customer of which generally these variable consideration components represents minimal amount of net sales. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer.
The Company's payment terms vary depending on the individual contracts and are generally fixed fee. The Company recognizes advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized as deferred revenue. In certain contracts where services are provided prior to billing, the Company recognizes a contract asset within trade receivables and other current assets.
Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and that are collected by the Company from a customer are excluded from revenue.
The Company recognizes shipping and handling fees billed when products are shipped or delivered to a customer and includes such amounts in net sales. Although infrequent, shipping and handling associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer is not a separate performance obligation, rather it is accounted for as a fulfillment cost. Third-party freight payments are recorded in cost of sales.
The Company includes a warranty in connection with certain contracts with customers, which are not considered to be separate performance obligations. The Company provides its customers a manufacturer’s warranty, and records, at the time of the sale, a corresponding estimated liability for potential warranty costs. For additional information on product warranty refer to Note 9: Guarantees and Product Warranties. The Company also has extended warranty and service contracts available for its customers, which are recognized as separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized on these contracts ratably as the Company has a stand-ready obligation to provide services when or as needed by the customer. This input method is the most accurate assessment of progress toward completion the Company can apply.
Nature of goods and services
Product revenue is recognized at the point in time that the customer obtains control of the product, which could be upon delivery or upon completion of installation services, depending on contract terms. The Company’s software licenses are functional in nature (the IP has significant stand-alone functionality); as such, the revenue recognition of distinct software license sales is at the point in time that the customer obtains control of the rights granted by the license.
Professional services integrate the commercial solution with the customer's existing infrastructure and helps define the optimal user experience, improve business processes, refine existing staffing models and deploy technology to meet branch and store automation objectives. Revenue from professional services are recognized over time, because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the Company’s performance as the services are performed or when the Company’s performance creates an asset with no alternative use and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. Generally revenue will be recognized using an input measure, typically costs incurred. The typical contract length for service is generally one year and is billed and paid in advance except for installations, among others.
Services may be sold separately or in bundled packages. For bundled packages, the Company accounts for individual services separately if they are distinct. A distinct service is separately identifiable from other items in the bundled package if a customer can benefit from it on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer. The consideration (including any discounts) is allocated between separate services or distinct obligations in a bundle based on their stand-alone selling prices. The stand-alone selling prices are determined based on the prices at which the Company separately sells the products or services. For items that are not sold separately, the Company estimates stand-alone selling prices using the cost plus expected margin approach. Revenue on service contracts is recognized ratably over time, generally using an input measure, as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the Company’s performance as the services are performed. In some circumstances, when global service supply chain services are not included in a term contract and rather billed as they occur, revenue on these billed work services are recognized at a point in time as transfer of control occurs.
The following is a description of principal solutions offered within the Company's two main customer segments that generate the Company's revenue.

Contract balances
The following table provides 2021 and 2020 information about receivables and deferred revenue, which represent contract liabilities from contracts with customers:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| 2021 | | 2020 |
| Contract balance information | Trade Receivables | | Contract liabilities | | Trade Receivables | | Contract liabilities |
| Balance at January 1 | $ | 646.9 | | | $ | 346.8 | | | $ | 619.3 | | | $ | 320.5 | |
| Balance at December 31 | $ | 595.2 | | | $ | 322.4 | | | $ | 646.9 | | | $ | 346.8 | |
Contract assets are minimal for the periods presented. The amount of revenue recognized in 2021 and 2020 from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods, mainly due to the changes in the estimate of variable consideration and contract modifications was de minimis.
As of January 1, 2021, the Company had $346.8 of unrecognized deferred revenue constituting the remaining performance obligations that are either unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied. During 2021, the Company recognized revenue of $249.2 related to the Company's deferred revenue balance at January 1, 2021.
Contract assets are the rights to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the Company has transferred to a customer when that right is conditional on something other than the passage of time. Contract assets of the Company primarily relate to the Company's rights to consideration for goods shipped and services provided but not contractually billable at the reporting date.
The contract assets are reclassified into the receivables balance when the rights to receive payment become unconditional. Contract liabilities are recorded for any services billed to customers and not yet recognizable if the contract period has commenced or for the amount collected from customers in advance of the contract period commencing. In addition, contract liabilities are recorded as advanced payments for products and other deliverables that are billed to and collected from customers prior to revenue being recognizable.
Transaction price and variable consideration
The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties. This consideration can include fixed and variable amounts and is determined at contract inception and updated each reporting period for any changes in circumstances. The transaction price also considers variable consideration, time value of money and the measurement of any non-cash consideration, all of which are estimated at contract inception and updated at each reporting date for any changes in circumstances. Once the variable consideration is identified, the Company estimates the amount of the variable consideration to include in the transaction price by using one of two methods, expected value (probability weighted methodology) or most likely amount (when there are only two possible outcomes). The Company chooses the method expected to better predict the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled and applies the method consistently to similar contracts. Generally, the Company applies the expected value method when assessing variable consideration including returns and refunds.
The Company also applies the ‘as invoiced’ practical expedient in ASC paragraph 606-10-55-18 related to performance obligations satisfied over time, which permits the Company to recognize revenue in the amount to which it has a right to invoice the customer if that amount corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance completed to date. Service revenues that are recognized ratably are primarily contracts that include first and second line maintenance. Service revenues that are recognized using input measures include primarily preventative maintenance. The ‘as invoiced’ practical expedient relates to the on-demand service revenue which is generally not under contract.
Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations
As of December 31, 2021, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was approximately $1,800. The Company generally expects to recognize revenue on the remaining performance obligations over the next twelve to eighteen months. The Company enters into service agreements with cancellable terms after a certain period without penalty. Unsatisfied obligations reflect only the obligation during the initial term. The Company applies the practical expedient in ASC paragraph 606-10-50-14 and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less.

Cost to obtain and cost to fulfill a contract
The Company has minimal cost to obtain or fulfill contracts for customers for the periods presented. The Company pays commissions to the sales force based on multiple factors including but not limited to order entry, revenue recognition and portfolio growth. These incremental commission fees paid to the sales force meet the criteria to be considered a cost to obtain a contract, as they are directly attributable to a contract, incremental and management expects the fees are recoverable. The Company applies the practical expedient and recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. The costs that are not capitalized are included in cost of sales. The costs related to contracts with greater than a one-year term are immaterial and continue to be recognized in cost of sales.
NOTE 20:22: SEGMENT AND NET SALES INFORMATION
The Company's accounting policies derive segment results that are the same as those the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) regularly reviews and uses to make decisions, allocate resources and assess performance. The Company continually considers its operating structure and the information subject to regular review by its Chief Executive Officer, who is the CODM, to identify reportable operating segments. The Company’s operating structure is based on a number of factors that management uses to evaluate, view and run its business operations, which currently includes, but is not limited to, product, service and solution. The Company's reportable operating segments are based on the following solutions: Eurasia Banking, Americas Banking and Retail.
Segment revenue represents revenues from sales to external customers. Segment operating profit is defined as revenues less expenses directly identifiable to those segments. The Company does not allocate to its segments certain operating expenses, managed at the corporate level; that are not routinely used in the management of the segments; or information that is impractical to allocate. These unallocated costs include certain corporate costs,charges, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring and deferred revenue, restructuringtransformation charges, impairment charges, legal, indemnification and professional fees related to acquisition and divestiture expenses, along with other income (expenses). Segment operating profit reconciles to consolidated income (loss) before income taxes by deducting corporate costs and other income or expense items that are not attributed to the segments. Corporate charges not allocated to segments include headquarter-based costs associated with procurement, human resources, compensation and benefits, finance and accounting, global development/engineering, global strategy/mergers and acquisitions, global IT, tax, treasury and legal. Assets are not allocated to segments, and thus are not included in the assessment of segment performance, and consequently, we do not disclose total assets and depreciation and amortization expense by reportable operating segment.

ITEM 9A: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(in millions)
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
The Company carries out a variety of on-going procedures, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, to evaluate the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures.
Based on that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period of this report.
(a)MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Under the supervision of the CEO and CFO and Board of Directors, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013 framework)” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013. Based on this assessment, management has concluded that the internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2020.2021.
KPMG LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an auditor’s report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020.2021. This report is included in Item 8 of this annual report on Form 10-K.
(b)CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
During the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2020,2021, there were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
