Jeff Rutherford, Diebold Nixdorf executive vice president and chief financial officer, said: “We remain encouraged by order entry activity, a forward-looking indicator of demand, and are confident in our operating model as we continue to implement cost savings and additional operational rigor to accelerate the pace of backlog conversion to revenue and free cash flow. As a result, we are reiterating our adjusted EBITDA guidance range and our free cash flow outlook. Free cash flow is directly correlated with our expected adjusted EBITDA guidance as well as working capital normalization. Note our free cash flow guidance includes cash restructuring charges. To reflect ongoing challenges in the macroeconomic environment, we are adjusting our full-year revenue outlook. The company currently expects total revenue of $3.55 billion to $3.75 billion, with a majority of the adjustment attributable to unfavorable FX impacts. Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow guidance considers that savings from our restructuring plan and other cost management measures will offset our adjusted revenue guidance. On a constant currency basis adjusting for divestitures, we expect full-year revenue to be flat on a year-over-year basis.”

Segment Reporting Structure
In the second quarter of 2022, the company reorganized its reportable segments due to the simplification of its organizational structure. The new reportable segments are Global Banking and Global Retail, which aligns with how the company makes key operating decisions, allocate resources and assess performance going forward. The new Banking segment’s sales and cost of sales are the summation of the historical Americas Banking and Eurasia Banking segments. The segment change has no impact on Retail’s sales or cost of sales. Certain corporate costs and Non-GAAP adjustments are not assigned to our reportable segments, as these charges are managed separately from the segment information the company uses to make operating decisions and assess performance.
Also in connection with the operating structure simplification, the company will no longer be separately reporting software sales and software cost of sales in its earnings materials. Rather, and consistent with its historical reporting on Form 10-Q and Form 10-K, the company will report product and service sales and cost of sales. Software licenses are included in product, while software maintenance and support and professional services are reported within service.
Prior-periods have been recast to conform to the new reporting structure. Reconciliations between the new and historical format are included within the shareholder letter being furnished with this release and available on the Company’s website. These changes did not impact the consolidated financial statements.
1 - With respect to the company’s adjusted EBITDA and Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) outlook for 2022, it is not providing a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty those items that may affect such measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP without unreasonable effort. These measures primarily exclude future restructuring actions and net non-routine items. These reconciling items are uncertain, depend on various factors and could significantly impact, either individually or in the aggregate, operating profit and net income calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

2- Free cash flow is a Non-GAAP financial measure defined as net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations less capital expenditures, less cash used for capitalized software development, and excluding the impact of changes in cash of assets held for sale and the use of cash for M&A and the legal settlement for impaired cloud implementation costs, and excluding the use of cash for the settlement of foreign exchange derivative instruments.
