FINANCIAL RESULTS
- -----------------
"We once again delivered strong earnings per share, even with a challenging
global economic environment. EPS grew in the current quarter despite the voting
business having a dilutive effect of $.03 compared to $.05 accretion in the
second quarter 2002. By the end of June, we had expected to recognize revenue of
approximately $30 million on a voting contract with the state of Maryland.
However, the contract was delayed as the state expanded the project, increasing
its size to $55.6 million," said Walden W. O'Dell, Diebold chairman, president
and chief executive officer. "We will now recognize revenue of $30 million from
this order during the third quarter. We remain confident in our full-year
guidance for voting revenue growth of 15 to 25 percent and believe that the
voting business will be significantly more accretive on a full-year basis than
in 2002.

"I am also encouraged by the strength in overall orders and increased demand for
branch and self-service equipment and the high acceptance level of our new
Opteva ATM line around the world," O'Dell continued. "Our security business
continues to experience strong growth as demand remains strong in the financial,
retail and government markets.

"Based on these encouraging results and our current forecasts for the remainder
of the year, we are raising our full-year earnings per share guidance to
$2.35-$2.45 compared to our previous guidance of $2.32-$2.42," said O'Dell.

FIXED EXCHANGE RATE SECOND QUARTER ORDERS
- -----------------------------------------
Despite a challenging global economic environment, total orders for product and
service, excluding voting, increased in the low double-digit range. Financial
self-service orders in the Americas and Asia-Pacific both increased in the
double-digit range, while EMEA orders decreased in the low double-digits.
Security orders remain strong, increasing more than 20 percent.

The voting business is driven by a small number of large orders in any given
quarter, making quarter to quarter comparisons difficult. Voting orders in the
second quarter 2002 included a $54 million order with the state of Georgia.
While in the third quarter of 2003 the company received a $55.6 million order
from the state of Maryland, which had been expected to close during the second
quarter.

Significant orders for the quarter included:

     -    Orders totaling $11 million for self-service and branch equipment from
          a large bank in California and self-service orders totaling $4.5
          million from another large bank in California

     -    Self-service equipment orders totaling $9.9 million from two customers
          in Belgium

     -    An order for self-service equipment valued at $8.7 million from a bank
          in Brazil

     -    Two self-service orders from a bank in China totaling $8.6 million

     -    Orders totaling $5.2 million for self-service and branch equipment
          from two regional banks in the Midwestern United States

     -    Orders for branch equipment from a bank in the Southeast United States
          valued at $3.5 million

     -    A self-service order from a customer in France for $3.2 million

     -    An order from a large bank in New York for self-service equipment
          totaling $3.2 million

     -    An electronic security order from a bank in Mexico valued at $3.0
          million

PAGE 4/DIEBOLD ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

CURRENCY IMPACT
- ---------------
During the quarter, revenue continued to be negatively impacted by the
year-over-year devaluation of the Brazilian real, but this devaluation was more
than offset by the strengthening of the euro and certain other currencies. The
positive currency impact in the second quarter was approximately $2.6 million or
0.6 percent versus the prior year.

GROSS MARGIN
- ------------
Total gross margin for the second quarter was 29.6 percent, down from 30.5
percent in the second quarter 2002. Product gross margin increased slightly to
33.1 percent from 33.0 percent in the second quarter 2002. Service gross margin
decreased to 26.4 percent from 27.8 percent in the second quarter 2002, but was
flat sequentially. The decrease in service gross margins was largely due to
unusually high service gross margins in the prior year quarter, primarily in
Europe.

OPERATING EXPENSES
- ------------------
Total operating expenses for the quarter were 17.8 percent of revenue, versus
18.1 percent for the second quarter of 2002. The decrease in the operating
expense percentage was a result of tight cost controls and was realized despite
lower voting revenue in the current quarter and higher year over year pension
cost. Change in pension assumptions and the market downturn resulted in pension
expense in the second quarter of 2003 compared to pension income in the second
quarter of 2002. This change in pension cost adversely impacted the second
quarter 2003 by approximately $2 million.

OPERATING PROFIT
- ----------------
Operating profit was 11.9 percent of revenue, down from 12.4 percent from 2002.
This was primarily driven by lower voting revenue and associated operating loss
in the second quarter 2003 as compared to the second quarter 2002.

OTHER INCOME/(EXPENSE) AND MINORITY INTEREST
- --------------------------------------------
Other income/(expense) and minority interest improved by $5.2 million, moving
from net expense of $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2002 to net income of
$3.7 million in the current quarter. This improvement was the result of reduced
interest expense, due to lower debt levels and reduced interest rates, as well
as a gain in the current quarter of approximately $.03 per share from the early
buy-out of leased ATM equipment by a major customer.

NET INCOME
- ----------
Net income was 8.6 percent of revenue compared to 8.2 percent in the second
quarter 2002. The improvement in net income was a result of lower operating
expenses and the positive swing in other income/(expense) and minority interest,
net.

BALANCE SHEET AND CASH FLOW HIGHLIGHTS
- --------------------------------------
Diebold's balance sheet is exceptionally solid. As a result of strong positive
cash flow, the company improved its net (debt)/investment position by $74.9
million in the first six months of 2003, moving from a net debt position of
$62.5 million at the end of 2002 to a net investment position of $12.4 million
at the end of the current quarter.

Free cash flow in the six months of 2003 was $111.5 million, an improvement of
$110.4 million compared to the first six months of 2002. This improvement was a
result of better management of working capital. DSO improved by nine days,
moving from 83 days at the end of the second quarter of 2002 to 74 days at the
end of the current quarter. Inventory turns also improved to 5.1 turns from 4.9
turns at the end of the second quarter 2002.

STOCK OPTION EXPENSE
- --------------------
As permitted under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the
company provides quarterly and annual disclosures of the impact to earnings per
share if stock options were expensed. The company estimates that if stock
options were expensed in accordance with SFAS 123, the full year impact in 2003
would be approximately $.06 per share compared to $.04 per share in 2002.

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.

Taking these factors into consideration, expectations for the third quarter and
the year 2003 include:

     -    Third quarter revenue is expected to grow 2-5 percent vs. prior year.

     -    Depreciation and amortization will be approximately $16 million for
          the third quarter.

     -    Pension expense of approximately $.01 per share in the third quarter
          of 2003 compared to pension income of $.01 per share in the third
          quarter of 2002.

     -    Third quarter EPS to be in the range of $.62 to $.67.

     -    Full year revenue growth of 5-8 percent.

          -    Financial self-service revenue growth of 1-4 percent.

          -    Security revenue growth of approximately 15-20 percent.

          -    Voting business growth of approximately 15-25 percent.

     -    A full year effective tax rate of approximately 32.0 percent.

     -    Free cash flow is expected to be in the range of $200-$225 million
          during 2003.

     -    Full year earnings per share guidance of $2.35 to $2.45.
