2 NOTES TO INVESTORS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. Comments made during this conference call and in these materials contain forward- looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are based on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions, which may not prove to be accurate, and involve a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are out of NCR's control. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and there are a number of important factors that could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from the results contemplated by such forward-looking statements, including those factors listed in Item 1a "Risk Factors" of NCR's Annual Report on Form 10-K and those factors detailed from time to time in NCR's other SEC reports.

These measures are included to provide additional useful information regarding NCR's financial results, and are not a substitute for their comparable GAAP measures. Explanations of these non-GAAP measures (including changes to the treatment of ongoing pension expenses in the calculation of certain of these measures), and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their directly comparable GAAP measures, are included in the accompanying "Supplementary Non-GAAP Materials" and are available on the Investor Relations page of NCR's website at www.ncr.com.

SUPPLEMENTARY NON-GAAP MATERIALS

22 NON-GAAP MEASURES While NCR reports its results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States, comments made during this conference call and in these materials will include non-GAAP measures. These measures are included to provide additional useful information regarding NCR's financial results, and are not a substitute for their comparable GAAP measures. Non-Pension Operating Income (NPOI), Non-GAAP Diluted EPS, Operational Gross Margin, Operational Gross Margin Rate, Expenses (non-GAAP), Effective Tax Rate and Non-GAAP Net Income. NCR’s non-pension operating income (NPOI), non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, operational gross margin, operational gross margin rate, expenses (non-GAAP) and effective tax rate (non-GAAP) are determined by excluding certain pension expenses and other special items, including amortization of acquisition related intangibles, from NCR's GAAP income (loss) from operations, GAAP gross margin, gross margin rate, expenses and effective tax rate. With respect to pension expense, in its Q4 and FY 2015 reported results, NCR excludes all components of pension expense, including both ongoing pension expense and mark-to-market adjustments, and pension settlements, curtailments and special termination benefits, when determining these non-GAAP measures, and in its FY and Q1 2016 guidance, NCR no longer excludes ongoing pension expense when determining these non-GAAP measures, but excludes only mark-to-market adjustments, and pension settlements, curtailments and special termination benefits. Due to the significant historical changes in its overall pension expense from year to year and the non-operational nature of pension expense and these other special items, NCR's management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate year-over-year operating performance. NCR also used NPOI, and continues to use non-GAAP diluted EPS, to manage and determine the effectiveness of its business managers and as a basis for incentive compensation. NCR believes these measures are useful for investors because they provide a more complete understanding of NCR's underlying operational performance, as well as consistency and comparability with NCR's past reports of financial results. Free Cash Flow. NCR defines free cash flow as net cash provided by/used in operating activities and cash flow provided by/used in discontinued operations less capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment, additions to capitalized software, discretionary pension contributions and settlements. NCR's management uses free cash flow to assess the financial performance of the Company and believes it is useful for investors because it relates the operating cash flow of the Company to the capital that is spent to continue and improve business operations. In particular, free cash flow indicates the amount of cash generated after capital expenditures which can be used for, among other things, investment in the Company's existing businesses, strategic acquisitions, strengthening the Company's balance sheet, repurchase of Company stock and repayment of the Company's debt obligations. Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since there may be other nondiscretionary expenditures that are not deducted from the measure. Free cash flow (FCF) does not have a uniform definition under GAAP and, therefore, NCR's definition may differ from other companies' definition of this measure.
![Page 23](https://capedge.com/proxy/8-K/0000070866-16-000063/q42015slidesfinal023.jpg)
23 NON-GAAP MEASURES Adjusted EBITDA. NCR believes that Adjusted EBITDA (adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) provides useful information to investors because it is an indicator of the strength and performance of the Company's ongoing business operations, including its ability to fund discretionary spending such as capital expenditures, strategic acquisitions and other investments. NCR determines Adjusted EBITDA for a given period based on its GAAP income (loss) from continuing operations plus interest expense, net; plus income tax expense (benefit); plus depreciation and amortization; plus other income (expense); plus pension expense (benefit); and plus special items included in the definition of NPOI. NCR believes that its ratio of net debt to Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors because it is an indicator of the company's ability to meet its future financial obligations. Constant Currency. NCR presents certain measures, such as period-over-period revenue growth, on a constant currency basis, which excludes the effects of foreign currency translation. Due to the continuing strengthening of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies and the overall variability of foreign exchange rates from period to period, NCR's management uses these measures on a constant currency basis to evaluate period-over-period operating performance. Measures presented on a constant currency basis are calculated by translating current period results at prior period monthly average exchange rates. NCR management's definitions and calculations of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly-titled measures reported by other companies and cannot, therefore, be compared with similarly-titled measures of other companies. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as substitutes for, or superior to, results determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are reconciled to their corresponding GAAP measures in the following slides and elsewhere in these materials.
