Third quarter 2014 revenue was $768.0 million, up 8.9% from the third quarter 2013, or 9.3% on a constant currency basis.

Management Commentary

“We delivered another solid quarter as we continue to execute on our turnaround strategy, evidenced by strong revenue growth and gross margin expansion from the third quarter last year,” said Andy W. Mattes, Diebold president and chief executive officer. “As planned, our operational results enabled us to ramp up reinvestments back into the business during the quarter.

“We will further increase our investments in the fourth quarter, focusing on areas such as research and development,” Mattes continued. “These reinvestments are starting to pay dividends. For example, we recently launched the Diebold 5500, a new line of cash dispensers and our first all-new product line in a number of years. Unveiled in London earlier this month, the 5500 is geared toward the mass market in key international regions and provides a lower total cost of ownership for the ATM deployer. We will be following this up with several new solution launches in the coming months. Consistently and quickly bringing new innovation to the market is an important part of our turnaround strategy.”

Mattes concluded, “We continue to execute relative to our transformation efforts and are showing proof points. As such, we are narrowing our earnings guidance around the center of our previously reported range. We feel good about the progress we've made to date as we begin to eye the ‘walk’ phase of our ‘crawl, walk, run’ turnaround."

Full-year 2014 Outlook

The following statements are based on current expectations. These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. These statements do not include the potential impact of significant currency fluctuations, future mergers, acquisitions, disposals or other business combinations, the Brazil tax assessment or related indirect tax reserves.

The company is updating its outlook for full-year 2014 revenue to grow approximately 7% and EPS to be in the range of $1.70 to $1.80 on a non-GAAP* basis. The current guidance now assumes a full-year, non-GAAP effective tax rate of approximately 32%, compared with previous guidance which assumed an approximate 30% full-year, non-GAAP effective tax rate. Diebold is focused on executing its transformation initiatives and increasing investment levels in the areas of development, sales and marketing, information technology and back-end office support.

Total Revenue	Up mid-single digits	~7%

Notes for Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the company considers certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, including non-GAAP results, adjusted earnings per share, free cash flow/(use) and net investment/(debt). The company uses these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to evaluate our operating and financial performance and to compare such performance to that of prior periods and to the performance of our competitors. Also, the company uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making operational and financial decisions and in establishing operational goals. The company also believes providing these non-GAAP financial measures to investors, as a supplement to GAAP financial measures, helps investors evaluate our operating and financial performance and trends in our business, consistent with how management evaluates such performance and trends. The company also believes these non-GAAP financial measures may be useful to investors in comparing its performance to the performance of other companies, although its non-GAAP financial measures are specific to the company and the non-GAAP financial measures of other companies may not be calculated in the same manner.

Total adjusted EPS (non-GAAP measure) excluding valuation allowance on Brazil deferred tax assets	$	0.54		$	0.56		$	1.25		$	0.78

Restructuring expenses relate to the multi-year realignment focused on globalizing the company's service organization and creating a unified center-led global organization for research and development, as well as transforming the company's general and administrative cost structure. Non-routine expenses relate to the settlement of the FCPA investigation and securities class action lawsuit, Brazil impairment, and the legal, indemnification and professional fees paid by the company in connection with ongoing obligations related to prior regulatory settlements. Non-routine tax expense (benefit) on foreign cash repatriation relates to the 2013 change in assertion regarding the indefinite reinvestment of foreign subsidiary earnings.

3. Free cash flow/(use) is calculated as follows:        

	Q3 2014			Q3 2013			YTD 9/30/2014			YTD 9/30/2013
Net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities (GAAP measure)	$	(18,960	)	$	4,383		$	(110,735	)	$	(59,042	)
Capital expenditures	(15,204		)	(7,492		)	(33,554		)	(25,648		)
Free cash flow/(use) (non-GAAP measure)	$	(34,164	)	$	(3,109	)	$	(144,289	)	$	(84,690	)

We define free cash flow/(use) as net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures. We consider free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business that, after the purchase of property and equipment, can be used for strategic opportunities, including investing in the business, making strategic acquisitions, strengthening the balance sheet, and paying dividends.

4. Net investment/(debt) is calculated as follows:

	9/30/2014			12/31/2013			9/30/2013
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments (GAAP measure)	$	374,233		$	473,697		$	405,624
Debt instruments	(638,706		)	(524,459		)	(588,799		)
Net investment/(debt) (non-GAAP measure)	$	(264,473	)	$	(50,762	)	$	(183,175	)

The company's management believes that given the significant cash, cash equivalents and other investments on its balance sheet that net cash against outstanding debt is a meaningful net debt calculation. Between 97% to 99% of the company's cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments reside in international tax jurisdictions for all periods presented.
