DIEBOLD REPORTS SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

• GAAP earnings of $.26 per share, or $.36 per share excluding restructuring charges*

• Multi-year profit improvement program on track

• Lower-than-expected production volume in Cassis, France resulting in higher supply-chain costs

• Company repurchased approximately 1.9 million shares of common stock under its repurchase plan

NORTH CANTON, Ohio — Diebold, Incorporated (NYSE: DBD) today reported second quarter 2006 revenue from continuing operations of $726.4 million, up 17.4 percent from the second quarter of 2005. Net income for the second quarter was $17.2 million, compared to net income of $32.0 million in the second quarter of 2005. Diluted earnings per share were $.26 compared to $.45 in the second quarter of 2005.

Included in the second quarter 2006 reported results were restructuring charges of $.10 per share resulting primarily from the termination of the information technology (IT) outsourcing agreement and product development rationalization. Excluding the impact of these items*, diluted earnings per share in the second quarter would have been $.36.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $23.0 million, a $30.0 million improvement from the comparable period in the prior year. Free cash flow* increased by $25.4 million, moving from free cash use* of $24.2 million in the second quarter 2005 to $1.2 million in the second quarter 2006.

Business Review

Management commentary

“We continue to focus on a number of key improvement initiatives, and we’ve made significant progress toward returning the company to long-term, profitable growth,” said Thomas W. Swidarski, Diebold president and chief executive officer. “While we are still early in this process, we remain on target to meet our multi-year profit improvement goals as well as our 2006 earnings guidance, which we are confirming for the full year. I am very confident in the abilities of our associates and management team to accomplish what we’ve set out to do during the past several months.”

Manufacturing optimization

The process of realigning our global manufacturing operations, including the consultation process around the planned closure of the production facility in Cassis, France, continues to present a number of challenges. Production levels at this facility are significantly lower than expected, resulting in higher levels of exports to Europe from our manufacturing facilities in North America and Asia. The company anticipates this situation will continue, which will cause manufacturing costs to remain higher than usual. While management is fully engaged in completing this realignment as quickly as possible, the likelihood that it may not be completed until 2007 has increased. However, contingency plans are in place, if necessary, to meet the high customer demand for Opteva in Europe, as well as maintain customer delivery requirements. In addition, the planned production facility in Hungary is progressing well on its schedule to be operating by the fourth quarter 2006.

“While realigning our manufacturing operations in Europe presents significant near-term challenges, it is a necessary step toward efficiently meeting customer demand in the region, restoring the competitiveness of our European operations and achieving our long-term, total company margin goals,” Swidarski said.

Multi-year profit improvement plan

Diebold continues to make progress in its multi-year profit improvement plan that encompasses a $100 million reduction in the company’s cost structure by 2008. The company has completed a number of projects, contracted with new suppliers and continues to qualify and prioritize many cost savings opportunities. The cost savings effort is focused on three primary areas during the next three years: direct material purchases with anticipated savings of $25 million; indirect purchases with anticipated savings of $50 million; and manufacturing expenses/process improvement with anticipated savings of $25 million. The company continues to anticipate achieving $35 million of these savings in 2007 with the remaining $65 million expected to be realized in 2008.

ERP/IT implementation

On June 1, Diebold reorganized its global IT operation and assumed implementation and support responsibilities for its Oracle global enterprise resource planning (ERP) system as well as other IT-related functions. This decision ended the company’s previous IT outsourcing agreement with a third-party provider. As its top priority, the company has made significant progress in stabilizing the ERP system in Europe and is on track to achieve system stabilization by the end of the year. “We will continue to commit the resources necessary to stabilize the ERP system in Europe and resume implementation in other regions of the world beginning early in 2007, with the goal of completing global implementation by the end of 2008,” said Swidarski.

Kevin J. Krakora, executive vice president and chief financial officer, added, “While certain areas within the business have been exceptionally challenging, we have made great strides in other initiatives such as improving quality, service responsiveness and customer satisfaction. Additionally, we have been evaluating our global operational structure in an effort to reduce our long-term corporate effective tax rate. We are taking steps in this area, which could result in a positive impact as early as this year. As a result of our progress on this and other initiatives, I remain confident in our ability to perform within our expectations.”

Second Quarter Orders (constant currency)

Total orders for financial self-service and security products and services were down in the low single-digit range compared to the prior year period. Financial self-service orders were down in the high single-digit range, with solid order growth in Asia Pacific more than offset by double-digit order declines in the Americas, affected by a large order in Brazil during the second quarter 2005 which did not recur. Security orders increased in the low double-digit range.

Revenue

Total revenue for the quarter was up 17.4 percent, with security products and services revenue up by 15.1 percent over second quarter 2005. Additionally, election systems and lottery systems revenue were up approximately $28 million and $14 million, respectively. Financial self-service revenue was up 9.4 percent in the quarter, led by an increase of 24.4 percent in EMEA. During the quarter, the net positive currency impact was approximately $10.5 million, or 1.7 percent. The positive currency impact on revenue was largely due to the year-over-year strengthening of the Brazilian real.

Gross Margin

Total gross margin for the quarter was 24.0 percent, compared to 25.4 percent in the second quarter 2005. Restructuring charges of $1.6 million were included in the second quarter 2006, while restructuring charges of $3.1 million and other special charges of $3.0 million were recorded in the second quarter 2005.

Product gross margin was 28.0 percent, compared to 27.6 percent in the second quarter 2005. Restructuring charges of $1.1 million were included in the second quarter 2006, while restructuring charges of $2.5 million and special charges* of $2.8 million were recorded in the second quarter 2005. Excluding restructuring and special charges, product gross margin would have been 28.3 percent in the second quarter 2006, compared to 29.4 percent in the second quarter 2005. A higher mix of revenue from the lower margin security and international financial self-service businesses adversely impacted product gross margin in the second quarter 2006. In addition, lower-than-expected production volume in Europe resulted in higher supply-chain costs.

Service gross margin was 19.7 percent, compared to 23.4 percent in the second quarter of 2005. Restructuring charges of $0.5 million were included in the second quarter 2006, while restructuring and special charges of $0.8 million were recorded in the second quarter 2005. Excluding restructuring and special charges, service gross margin would have been 19.9 percent in the second quarter 2006, compared to 23.7 percent in the second quarter 2005 and 18.4 percent in the first quarter 2006. The year-over-year drop in service margin was a result of margin declines in EMEA, service acquisitions that currently operate below expected gross margin levels, and increased service costs associated with investments in customer service engineers and associated resources to continue improving performance in targeted areas. The sequential improvement from the first quarter 2006 is the result of productivity gains and improved performance and stabilized service pricing.

Income from Continuing Operations

Income from continuing operations was 2.4 percent of revenue compared to 5.0 percent in the second quarter 2005. While total product gross margins increased slightly between quarters, the decline in net income was due primarily to lower service gross margins. Second quarter 2006 operating expenses included restructuring charges of $9.5 million primarily due to the termination of the IT outsourcing agreement and product development rationalization. In addition, quarter-over-quarter operating expenses were higher due to increased IT costs, increased intangible amortization expense related to acquisitions, the impact of expensing stock options in 2006 and higher legal expenses. Finally, net income from continuing operations was adversely affected by higher interest expense and a higher effective tax rate. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to lower forecasted earnings in EMEA.

Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and Share Repurchase Highlights

The company’s net debt* was $425.8 million at June 30, 2006 compared to $142.2 million at June 30, 2005. The $283.6 million increase in net debt* over the last 12 months was principally due to free cash flow* of $63.7 million offset by share repurchases of $214.2 million, dividends of $57.8 million, acquisitions of $41.9 and a $33.4 million increase in other assets.

In the second quarter, free cash flow* increased by $25.4 million, moving from free cash use* of $24.2 million in the second quarter of 2005 to $1.2 million of free cash flow* in the second quarter of 2006. The increase in free cash flow* was largely due to an increase in other current liabilities and improved trade receivable collections, partially offset by lower net income.

Days sales outstanding (DSO) were 76 days at June 30, 2006, compared to 74 days at June 30, 2005. DSO in North America improved, but were offset by slower collections in the international operations, primarily in Asia Pacific. Inventory turns improved to 5.3 turns at June 30, 2006 from 5.2 turns at June 30, 2005. The improvement was largely due to an improvement in U.S. operations.

In the second quarter 2006, Diebold repurchased approximately 1.9 million shares of the company’s common stock under its repurchase plan. The company has 1.3 million shares remaining under its existing board authorization.

Restructuring

The company incurred second quarter restructuring charges of $.10 per share. The majority of these costs were due to the termination of the IT outsourcing agreement and product development rationalization. Full-year restructuring charges are anticipated to be in the range of $.57 to $.62 per share. This includes charges of $.12 per share primarily associated with the consolidation of global R&D facilities and other service consolidations, $.07 per share from the termination of the IT outsourcing agreement, and anticipated restructuring charges of $.38 to $.43 per share as a result of the planned closure of the Cassis production facility.

PAGE 5/DIEBOLD ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

While management is fully engaged in completing this realignment as quickly as possible, the likelihood that it may not be completed until 2007 has increased. While the full-year guidance still includes $.38 to $.43 per share of restructuring charges related to the planned closure of the production facility in Cassis, some or all of these charges could extend into 2007.

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 any future mergers, acquisitions, disposals or other business combinations.

Full-year 2006 outlook

The company has adopted SFAS No. 123R, “Accounting for Share-Based Payments” on a prospective basis. The company estimates the impact of expensing stock options in 2006 will be approximately $.06 per share, and has included this estimate in the outlook below. Expectations for the full-year 2006 include:

• Revenue growth of 4 to 7 percent

• Financial self-service revenue growth of 0 to 3 percent.

• Security revenue growth of 12 to 15 percent.

• Election systems revenue is anticipated to be in the range of $145 to $150 million.

• Brazilian lottery systems revenue of $35 to $40 million.

• Earnings per share

EPS — GAAP	$	1.11-$1.21
Restructuring actions	$	.57-$.62
EPS — Non-GAAP, excluding restructuring	$	1.68-$1.83

Notes for Non-GAAP Measures

1. Reconciliation of GAAP EPS to non-GAAP measures:

	Q2 2006		Six Months 2006
Total EPS (GAAP)	$	0.26	$	0.44
Restructuring Charges		0.10		0.14
Operating EPS (Non-GAAP)	$	0.36	$	0.58

The company believes excluding these items provides meaningful insight into the ongoing performance of its operations.

2.	Constant currency is used to depict order and GAAP revenue growth in local currency without the benefit or detriment occurring from currency fluctuations.
3.	Free cash flow/(use) is calculated as follows:

							Six Months			Six Months
	Q2 2006			Q2 2005			Ended 2006			Ended 2005
Net cash provided by operating activities (GAAP measure)	$	23,031		$	(7,005	)	$	73,553		$	71,425
Capital expenditures		(18,160	)		(16,112	)		(23,101	)		(29,824	)
Rotable spares expenditures		(3,719	)		(1,060	)		(6,823	)		(7,382	)
Free cash flow (use) (non-GAAP measure)	$	1,152		$	(24,177	)	$	43,629		$	34,219

The company believes that free cash flow is a meaningful indicator of cash generated for discretionary purposes.

4. Net (debt) is calculated as follows:

	June 30, 2006			December 31, 2005			June 30, 2005
Cash, cash equivalents and other investments (GAAP measure)	$	212,763		$	260,785		$	178,358
Less Industrial development revenue bonds and other		(12,050	)		(13,450	)		(13,500	)
Less Notes payable		(626,464	)		(489,194	)		(307,107	)
Net (debt) (non-GAAP measure)	$	(425,751	)	$	(241,859	)	$	(142,249	)

Given the significant cash, cash equivalents and other investments on its balance sheet, the company believes a meaningful debt calculation is to provide net cash against outstanding debt.
