Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)—(Continued)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by NCR Corporation (NCR, the Company, we or us) without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, unless otherwise disclosed) necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated results of operations, financial position, and cash flows for each period presented. The consolidated results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. The 2017 year-end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with NCR’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenue and expenses during the period reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Evaluation of Subsequent Events The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date that our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were issued. No matters were identified that required adjustment of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or additional disclosure.
Reclassifications Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto in order to conform to the current period presentation. Reclassifications had no effect on prior year net income or shareholders’ equity.
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests and Related Party Transactions In 2011, we sold a 49% voting equity interest in NCR Brasil - Indústria de Equipamentos para Automação S.A., a subsidiary of the Company (NCR Manaus), to Scopus Tecnologia Ltda. (Scopus). Under our investment agreements with Scopus, Scopus may elect to sell its shares in NCR Manaus at the then-current fair value to a third party that is not a competitor of NCR. If Scopus is unable to locate a buyer, Scopus may require NCR to purchase its noncontrolling interest for its then-current fair value.
We recognized revenue related to Banco Bradesco SA (Bradesco), the parent of Scopus, totaling $3 million and $7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, as compared to $5 million and $6 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had $2 million and $18 million, respectively, in receivables outstanding from Bradesco.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Issued
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new leasing standard that will supersede current guidance related to accounting for leases. The guidance is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The standard will be effective for the first interim period within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The standard is required to be adopted using the modified retrospective approach. As part of the adoption of the standard, we have selected and are in the process of implementing new lease accounting software. We are also in the process of identifying and designing appropriate changes to our business processes, systems and controls to support the new standard, and we are continuing to evaluate the impact of the standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. At this time the Company cannot estimate the quantitative impact of adopting the new standard, but it is expected to have a material effect to the total assets and total liabilities reported on the consolidated balance sheet, and is not expected to have a material effect to the consolidated statement of operations or the consolidated statement of cash flows.
Adopted
In May 2014, the FASB issued a new revenue recognition standard that superseded existing revenue recognition guidance. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard was effective for the first interim period within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with
NCR Corporation
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)—(Continued)
early adoption permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and can be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (“full retrospective method”) or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption (“modified retrospective method”). Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted the standard using the modified retrospective method applied to contracts that were not complete as of the date of adoption and recorded a cumulative adjustment to increase retained earnings by $2 million. Adoption of the new standard resulted in changes to our accounting policies for revenue recognition and deferred commissions. Refer to Note 2. Accounting Policies related to Revenue with Contracts with Customers, for the updated policy disclosures, and Note 3. Revenue Recognized under Previous Guidance, for presentation of what revenue would have been in the current periods had the Company continued to recognize revenue under the previous accounting guidance.
In August 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which provides guidance regarding the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments on the statement of cash flows, where specific guidance is provided for issues not previously addressed. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim reporting within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted, and is required to be adopted using a retrospective approach. The adoption of this accounting standards update did not have a material effect on the Company's statement of cash flows.
In October 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which requires the recognition of the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs. This standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted the standard using the modified retrospective method and recorded a cumulative adjustment to increase retained earnings by $13 million.
In November 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which clarifies how entities should present restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The guidance requires entities to show the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The accounting standards update is required to be adopted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that annual period. The amendment is to be applied retrospectively with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this accounting standards update did not have a material effect on the Company's statement of cash flows.
In January 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which clarifies the definition of a business which is used across several areas of accounting. The area expected to see the most change is the evaluation of whether a transaction should be accounted for as an acquisition (or disposal) of assets, or as a business combination. The new guidance clarifies that to be a business there must also be at least one substantive process, and narrows the definition of outputs by more closely aligning it with how outputs are described in the new revenue recognition standard. The accounting standards update is required to be adopted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that annual period. The amendment is to be applied prospectively with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or disclosures, as the standard applies only to businesses acquired after the adoption date.
In January 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standards update with new guidance intended to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill. The standards update eliminates the requirement for an entity to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, an entity will perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment testing by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recording an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value. The standards update is effective prospectively for annual and interim goodwill impairment testing performed in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Refer to Note 4. Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets for further discussion.
In March 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standards update with new guidance on an employer's presentation of defined benefit retirement costs in the income statement. Employers will present the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line item(s) as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. Only the service cost component will be eligible for capitalization in assets. Employers will present the other components of the net periodic benefit cost separately from the line item(s) that includes the service cost and outside of any subtotal of operating income, if one is presented. These components will not be eligible for capitalization in assets. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this accounting standards update did not have a material effect on the Company's net income, cash flows or financial condition.
In May 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which clarifies when to account for a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification. This update requires modification only if the fair value, vesting conditions or the classification of the award changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this accounting standards update did not have a material effect on the Company's net income, cash flows or financial condition.
NCR Corporation
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)—(Continued)
In August 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which simplifies certain aspects of hedge accounting and improves disclosures of hedging arrangements through the elimination of the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness. This update generally requires the entire change in the fair value of a hedging instrument to be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged item in order to align financial reporting of hedge relationships with economic results. Entities must apply the amendments to cash flow and net investment hedge relationships that exist on the date of adoption using a modified retrospective approach. The presentation and disclosure requirements must be applied prospectively. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this accounting standards update did not have a material effect on the Company's net income, cash flows or financial condition.
In February 2018, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which permits entities to reclassify tax effects stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a result of the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (U.S. Tax Reform) to retained earnings. Entities can elect to apply the guidance retrospectively or in the period of adoption. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this accounting standards update did not have a material effect on the Company's net income, cash flows or financial condition.
In March 2018, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which allowed SEC registrants to record provisional amounts in earnings for the year ended December 31, 2017 due to the complexities involved in accounting for the enactment of U.S. Tax Reform. The standard was effective upon issuance. The Company recognized the estimated income tax effects of U.S. Tax Reform in its 2017 Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (SAB No. 118). Refer to Note 6. Income Taxes, for further information regarding the provisional amounts recorded by the Company as of December 31, 2017.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES RELATED TO REVENUE WITH CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
The Company records revenue, net of sales tax, when the following five steps have been completed:
| |
• | Identification of the contract(s) with a customer |
| |
• | Identification of the performance obligation(s) in the contract |
| |
• | Determination of the transaction price |
| |
• | Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract |
| |
• | Recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy performance obligations |
The Company records revenue when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of a promised good or service to the customer. The Company evaluates the transfer of control primarily from the customer’s perspective where the customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from that good or service.
Our product revenue includes hardware and software which is generally recognized at a point in time, once all conditions for revenue recognition have been met. For hardware products, control is generally transferred when the customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits of the products, which generally coincides with when the customer has assumed risk of loss of the goods sold. For software products, control is generally transferred when the customer takes possession of, or has complete access to, the software. In certain instances, customer acceptance is required prior to the passage of title and risk of loss of the delivered products. In such cases, revenue is not recognized until the customer acceptance is obtained. Delivery, acceptance, and transfer of title and risk of loss generally occur in the same reporting period. NCR's customers may request that delivery and passage of title and risk of loss occur on a bill and hold basis.
Our services revenue includes software as a service (SaaS), professional consulting, installation and maintenance support. SaaS primarily consists of fees to provide our customers access to our platform and cloud-based applications. Revenue from SaaS contracts is recognized as variable consideration directly allocated based on customer usage or on a ratable basis over the contract term beginning on the date that our service is made available to the customer. Professional consulting primarily consists of software implementation, integration, customization and optimization services. Revenue from professional consulting contracts that involve significant production, modification or customization of the software is recognized over time as the services are performed. Revenue from professional consulting contracts that does not involve significant production, modification or customization of the software is recognized when the services are completed or customer acceptance of the service is received, if required. For installation and maintenance, control is transferred as the services are provided or ratably over the service period, or, if applicable, after customer acceptance of the service. We apply the ‘as invoiced’ practical expedient, for performance obligations satisfied over time, if the amount we may invoice corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance to date. This expedient
NCR Corporation
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)—(Continued)
permits us to recognize revenue in the amount we invoice the customer.
NCR frequently enters contracts that include multiple performance obligations, including hardware, software, professional consulting services, installation services and maintenance support services. For these arrangements, the Company allocates the transaction price, at contract inception, to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis. The primary method used to estimate standalone selling price is the price that the Company charges for that good or service when the Company sells it separately in similar circumstances to similar customers.
If a contract includes software and services that involve significant production, modification or customization of the software, the services are not distinct from the software. For these contracts, both the software and professional services revenue is recognized over time using costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion to measure progress toward satisfying our performance obligations. Incurred cost represents work performed, which corresponds with, and thereby best depicts, the transfer of control to the customer. Estimated losses, if any, are recognized as soon as such losses become known.
The nature of our arrangements gives rise to several types of variable consideration including service level agreement credits, stock rotation rights, trade-in credits and volume-based rebates. At contract inception, we include this variable consideration in our transaction price when there is a basis to reasonably estimate the amount of the fee and it is probable there will not be a significant reversal. These estimates are generally made using the expected value method and a portfolio approach, based on historical experience, anticipated performance and our best judgment at the time. These estimate are reassessed at each reporting date. Because of our confidence in estimating these amounts, they are included in the transaction price of our contracts and the associated remaining performance obligations.
As a practical expedient, we do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when we expect, at contract inception, that the period between our transfer of a promised product or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that product or service will be one year or less. Payment terms with our customers are established based on industry and regional practices and generally do not exceed 30 days. We do not typically include extended payment terms in our contracts with customers.
The Company also does not adjust the transaction price for taxes collected from customers, as those amounts are netted against amounts remitted to government authorities.
We account for shipping and handling activities related to contracts with customers as costs to fulfill our promise to transfer the associated products, rather than as a separate performance obligation. Accordingly, we record amounts billed for shipping and handling costs as a component of net product sales, and classify such costs as a component of cost of products.
Accounts Receivable, net
Accounts receivable, net includes amounts billed and currently due from customers as well as amounts unbilled which typically result from sales under contracts where revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer and where the Company has an unconditional right to consideration. The amounts due are stated at their net estimated realizable value. NCR establishes provisions for doubtful accounts using percentages of accounts receivable balances to reflect historical average credit losses and specific provisions for known issues, such as risks of default.
Contract Assets and Liabilities
Contract assets include unbilled amounts where right to payment is not solely subject to the passage of time. Amounts may not exceed their net realizable value. Contract liabilities consist of advance payments, billings in excess of revenue recognized and deferred revenue.
Our contract assets and liabilities are reported in a net position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. If the net position is a contract asset, the current portion is included in other current assets and the non-current portion is included in other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. If the net position is a contract liability, the current portion is included in contract liabilities and the non-current portion is included in other liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The following table presents the net contract asset and contract liability balances as of June 30, 2018 and January 1, 2018:

| | $ | 95 |
|
During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recognized $266 million in revenue that was included in contract liabilities as of January 1, 2018.
Deferred Commissions
Our incremental costs of obtaining a contract, which consist of certain sales commissions, primarily for our SaaS revenue, are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of expected benefit. We determined the period of expected benefit by taking into consideration customer contracts, the estimated life of the customer relationship, including renewals when the renewal commission is not commensurate with the initial commission, the expected life of the underlying technology and other factors. We classify deferred commissions as current or non-current based on the timing of when we expect to recognize the expense. The current and non-current portions of deferred commissions are included in other current assets and other assets, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2018. Amortization of deferred commissions is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.
Set-up Fees and Costs
Fees for the design, configuration, implementation and installation related to the software applications that are provided as a service are recognized over the contract term, which is generally 5 years. The related costs incurred that are determined to be incremental and recoverable contract-specific costs are deferred and amortized over the period of benefit, which is generally 7 years.
Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of orders for which products have not been delivered or services have not been performed. As of June 30, 2018, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was approximately $4 billion. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately three-quarters of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, with the remainder recognized thereafter. The majority of our professional services are expected to be recognized over the next twelve months but this is contingent upon a number of factors, including customers’ needs and schedules.
The Company has made two elections which affect the value of remaining performance obligations described above. We do not disclose remaining performance obligations for SaaS contracts where variable consideration is directly allocated based on usage or when the original expected length is one year or less.

3. REVENUE RECOGNIZED UNDER PREVIOUS GUIDANCE
As noted in Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the Company adopted the new revenue recognition guidance effective January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective approach. As a result, we recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. Adopting the new standard primarily impacted the deferral of incremental commission costs of obtaining SaaS contracts with customers. Other changes impact the timing of recognition for term-based software license sales and renewals, and estimating variable consideration at contract inception.
The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. As such, the following table presents the results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 under the previous guidance:

4. GOODWILL AND LONG-LIVED ASSETS
In addition to our annual goodwill impairment test performed in the fourth quarter, we perform interim impairment tests for long-lived and intangible assets, including goodwill, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset (group), which is the reporting unit for goodwill purposes, may not be recoverable. As noted in the Company’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K, our annual impairment test indicated that the Company's hardware segment had the least amount of excess fair value over the carrying value, where the excess of fair value over carrying value was approximately 20%.
Late in the quarter ended June 30, 2018, we determined there was an indication that the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the Hardware reporting unit may not be recoverable. This determination was based on the lowering of our full year forecast for 2018, driven by reduced revenue and gross margin rates expected for the third and fourth quarters of 2018, and the resulting impact on the current year and future cash flow projections of the Hardware reporting unit.
Given the undiscounted cash flows of the asset group, which we determined to be at the reporting unit level, were below the carrying value of the net assets, we recorded an impairment charge for the difference between the fair value and the carrying value of the long-lived assets. The fair value of the long-lived assets was determined based on the nature of the asset through either third party appraisals, replacement cost or discounted cash flow analysis.
For goodwill, consistent with the annual impairment test, fair value of the Hardware reporting unit was estimated using a weighted methodology considering the output from both the income and market approaches. The income approach incorporates the use of discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis. A number of significant assumptions and estimates are involved in the application of the DCF model to forecast operating cash flows, including markets and market shares, sales volumes and prices, costs to produce, tax rates, capital spending, discount rate and working capital changes. The market approach is performed using the Guideline Public Companies (GPC) method which is based on earnings multiple data. Under both approaches, the fair value of the Hardware reporting unit was determined to be below the net asset value. Accordingly, we recorded an impairment charge up to the value of the goodwill assigned to the Hardware reporting unit which was the full amount recorded. Refer to Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for disclosure of adoption of new accounting guidance which eliminates the requirement to measure the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge.
As a result, the Company recorded impairment charges of $21 million related to property, plant and equipment held and used in NCR's hardware reporting unit, $16 million related to purchased intangibles and $146 million for goodwill assigned to the Hardware reporting unit. These charges were recorded in the line item asset impairment charges in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.
The carrying amounts of goodwill by segment as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 are included in the table below. Foreign currency fluctuations are included within other adjustments.

Senior Secured Credit Facility On March 31, 2016, the Company amended and restated its senior secured credit facility with and among certain foreign subsidiaries of NCR (the Foreign Borrowers), the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA (JPMCB) as the administrative agent, and refinanced its term loan facility and revolving credit facility thereunder (the Senior Secured Credit Facility). As of June 30, 2018, the Senior Secured Credit Facility consisted of a term loan facility with an aggregate principal amount outstanding of $776 million and a revolving credit facility with an aggregate principal amount of $1.1 billion, of which $50 million was outstanding. The revolving credit facility also allows a portion of the availability to be used for outstanding letters of credit, and as of June 30, 2018, there were no letters of credit outstanding.
Up to $400 million of the revolving credit facility is available to the Foreign Borrowers. Term loans were made to the Company in U.S. Dollars, and loans under the revolving credit facility are available in U.S. Dollars, Euros and Pound Sterling.
The outstanding principal balance of the term loan facility is required to be repaid in equal quarterly installments of approximately $17 million beginning June 30, 2018, and $23 million beginning June 30, 2019, with the balance being due at maturity on March 31, 2021. Borrowings under the revolving portion of the credit facility are due March 31, 2021. Amounts outstanding under the Senior Secured Credit Facility bear interest at LIBOR (or, in the case of amounts denominated in Euros, EURIBOR), or, at NCR’s option, in the case of amounts denominated in U.S. Dollars, at a base rate equal to the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) JPMCB’s “prime rate” and (c) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00% (the Base Rate), plus, in each case, a margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.25% for LIBOR-based loans that are either term loans or revolving loans and EURIBOR-based revolving loans and ranging from 0.25% to 1.25% for Base Rate-based loans that are either term loans or revolving loans, in each case, depending on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. The terms of the Senior Secured Credit Facility also require certain other fees and payments to be made by the Company, including a commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the revolving credit facility.
The obligations of the Company and Foreign Borrowers under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of the Company's wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries. The Senior Secured Credit Facility and these guarantees are secured by a first priority lien and security interest in certain equity interests owned by the Company and the guarantor subsidiaries in certain of their respective domestic and foreign subsidiaries, and a perfected first priority lien and security interest in substantially all of the Company's U.S. assets and the assets of the guarantor subsidiaries, subject to certain exclusions. These security interests would be released if the Company achieves an “investment grade” rating, and will remain released so long as the Company maintains that rating.
The Senior Secured Credit Facility includes affirmative and negative covenants that restrict or limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur indebtedness; create liens on assets; engage in certain fundamental corporate changes or changes to the Company's business activities; make investments; sell or otherwise dispose of assets; engage in sale-leaseback or hedging transactions; repurchase stock, pay dividends or make similar distributions; repay other indebtedness; engage in certain affiliate transactions; or enter into agreements that restrict the Company's ability to create liens, pay dividends or make loan repayments. The Senior Secured Credit Facility also includes financial covenants that require the Company to maintain:
| |
• | a consolidated leverage ratio on the last day of any fiscal quarter, not to exceed (i) in the case of any fiscal quarter ending after December 31, 2017 and on or prior to December 31, 2019, (a) the sum of 4.00 and an amount (not to exceed 0.50) to reflect debt used to reduce NCR’s unfunded pension liabilities to (b) 1.00, and (ii) in the case of any fiscal quarter ending after December 31, 2019, the sum of (a) 3.75 and an amount (not to exceed 0.50) to reflect debt used to reduce NCR’s unfunded pension liabilities to (b) 1.00; and |
| |
• | an interest coverage ratio on the last day of any fiscal quarter greater than or equal to 3.50 to 1.00. |
At June 30, 2018, the maximum consolidated leverage ratio under the Senior Secured Credit Facility was 4.10 to 1.00.
The Senior Secured Credit Facility also includes provisions for events of default, which are customary for similar financings. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the lenders may, among other things, terminate the loan commitments, accelerate all loans and require cash collateral deposits in respect of outstanding letters of credit. If the Company is unable to pay or repay the amounts due, the lenders could, among other things, proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure such indebtedness.

The Company may request, at any time and from time to time, but the lenders are not obligated to fund, the establishment of one or more incremental term loans and/or revolving credit facilities (subject to the agreement of existing lenders or additional financial institutions to provide such term loans and/or revolving credit facilities) with commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed the greater of (i) $150 million, and (ii) such amount as would not (a) prior to the date that the Company obtains an investment grade rating cause the leverage ratio under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, calculated on a pro forma basis including the incremental facility and assuming that it and the revolver are fully drawn, to exceed 2.50 to 1.00, and (b) on and after the date that the Company obtains an investment grade rating cause the leverage ratio under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, calculated on a pro forma basis including the incremental facility and assuming that it and the revolver are fully drawn, to exceed a ratio that is 0.50 less than the leverage ratio then applicable under the financial covenants of the Senior Secured Credit Facility, the proceeds of which can be used for working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes.
Senior Unsecured Notes On September 17, 2012, the Company issued $600 million aggregate principal amount of 5.00% senior unsecured notes due in 2022 (the 5.00% Notes). The 5.00% Notes were sold at 100% of the principal amount and will mature on July 15, 2022. On December 18, 2012, the Company issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 4.625% senior unsecured notes due in 2021 (the 4.625% Notes). The 4.625% Notes were sold at 100% of the principal amount and will mature on February 15, 2021. On December 19, 2013, the Company issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% senior unsecured notes due in 2021 (the 5.875% Notes) and $700 million aggregate principal amount of 6.375% senior unsecured notes due in 2023 (the 6.375% Notes). The 5.875% Notes were sold at 100% of the principal amount and will mature on December 15, 2021 and the 6.375% Notes were sold at 100% of the principal amount and will mature on December 15, 2023. The senior unsecured notes are guaranteed, fully and unconditionally, on an unsecured senior basis, by our subsidiary, NCR International, Inc. Under the indentures for these notes, the Company has the option to redeem each series of notes, in whole or in part, at various times for specified prices, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The terms of the indentures for these notes limit the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional debt or issue redeemable preferred stock; pay dividends or make certain other restricted payments or investments; incur liens; sell assets; incur restrictions on the ability of the Company's subsidiaries to pay dividends to the Company; enter into affiliate transactions; engage in sale and leaseback transactions; and consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Company's or such subsidiaries' assets. These covenants are subject to significant exceptions and qualifications. For example, if these notes are assigned an investment grade rating by Moody's or S&P and no default has occurred or is continuing, certain covenants will be terminated.
Trade Receivables Securitization Facility In November 2014, the Company established a two-year revolving trade receivables securitization facility (the A/R Facility) with PNC Bank, National Association (PNC) as the administrative agent, and various lenders. In November 2016, the Company amended the A/R Facility to extend the maturity date to November 2018. The A/R Facility provides for up to $200 million in funding based on the availability of eligible receivables and other customary factors and conditions.
Under the A/R Facility, NCR sells and/or contributes certain of its U.S. trade receivables to a wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary as they are originated, and advances by the lenders to that subsidiary are secured by those trade receivables. The assets of this financing subsidiary are restricted as collateral for the payment of its obligations under the A/R Facility, and its assets and credit are not available to satisfy the debts and obligations owed to the creditors of the Company. The Company includes the assets, liabilities and results of operations of this financing subsidiary in its consolidated financial statements. The financing subsidiary owned $505 million and $491 million of outstanding accounts receivable as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, and these amounts are included in accounts receivable, net in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The financing subsidiary pays annual commitment and other customary fees to the lenders, and advances by a lender under the A/R Facility accrue interest (i) at a reserve-adjusted LIBOR rate or a base rate equal to the highest of (a) the applicable lender’s prime rate or (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, if the lender is a committed lender, or (ii) based on commercial paper interest rates if the lender is a commercial paper conduit lender. Advances may be prepaid at any time without premium or penalty.
The A/R Facility contains various customary affirmative and negative covenants and default and termination provisions that provide for the acceleration of the advances under the A/R Facility in circumstances including, but not limited to, failure to pay interest or principal when due, breach of representation, warranty or covenant, certain insolvency events or failure to maintain the security interest in the trade receivables, and defaults under other material indebtedness.
Fair Value of Debt The Company utilized Level 2 inputs, as defined in the fair value hierarchy, to measure the fair value of the long-term debt, which, as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was $3.16 billion and $3.07 billion, respectively. Management's
NCR Corporation
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)—(Continued)
fair value estimates were based on quoted prices for recent trades of NCR’s long-term debt, quoted prices for similar instruments, and inquiries with certain investment communities.
6. INCOME TAXES
Income tax provisions for interim (quarterly) periods are based on an estimated annual effective income tax rate calculated separately from the effect of significant, infrequent or unusual items. Income tax benefit was $12 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to income tax expense of $33 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease in income tax expense was driven by lower income before taxes, the impacts of U.S. Tax Reform and an increase in discrete benefits in the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in discrete benefits was primarily driven by favorable audit settlements in international jurisdictions.
Income tax benefit was $5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to income tax expense of $47 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease in income tax expense was driven by lower income before taxes, the impacts of U.S. Tax Reform and an increase in discrete benefits in the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in discrete benefits was primarily driven by favorable audit settlements in international jurisdictions, partially offset by the decrease of favorable excess tax benefits of share-based compensation awards.
U.S. Tax Reform was enacted in December 2017. The SEC staff issued SAB 118 that allowed the Company to record provisional amounts for the impacts of the legislation, with the requirement that the accounting be completed in a period not to exceed one year from the date of enactment of the legislation. Pursuant to SAB 118, we had reverted to tax law that existed prior to U.S. Tax Reform on the realizability of deferred tax assets for foreign tax credit carryforwards and future repatriation of earnings from our foreign subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had not completed the accounting in its entirety for the tax effects of the legislation.
Due to the timing of the enactment and complexities in the tax legislation, we made reasonable estimates of the effects and recorded provisional amounts in our financial statements as of December 31, 2017. The provisional expense related to the re-measurement of our net U.S. deferred tax assets to the 21% corporate income tax rate and the repatriation tax, net of related foreign tax credits. As of June 30, 2018, the Company has made a $2 million reduction to the provisional amount for the repatriation tax due to additional guidance issued in the three months ended June 30, 2018. As we continue to evaluate the impact of U.S. Tax Reform and interpret any additional guidance issued by the U.S. Treasury Department or other standard-setting bodies, we may adjust the provisional amounts. Completion of our accounting could lead to a material increase or decrease in our effective tax rate during 2018.
The Company reviewed our United Kingdom net deferred tax assets for recoverability based on the evaluation of positive and negative evidence. A full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets will be maintained until sufficient positive evidence exists to reduce or eliminate the valuation allowance. The factors considered by management in its determination of the probability of the realization of the deferred tax assets include, but are not limited to, recent historical financial results, historical taxable income, projected future taxable income, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and tax planning strategies. As of June 30, 2018, the Company continued to maintain a full valuation allowance against the United Kingdom net deferred tax assets due to insufficient positive evidence and the uncertainty regarding anticipated future earnings at certain subsidiaries in the United Kingdom.
The Company engages in continuous discussions and negotiations with taxing authorities regarding tax matters, and the Company has determined that during 2018 it expects to resolve certain tax matters related to U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. As a result, as of June 30, 2018, we estimate that it is reasonably possible that gross unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by $50 million to $55 million in 2018.
7. STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS
As of June 30, 2018, the Company’s primary type of stock-based compensation was restricted stock units and stock options. Stock-based compensation expense for the following periods were:

Stock-based compensation expense is recognized in the financial statements based upon fair value. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company granted stock options and the weighted average fair value of option grants was estimated based on the below weighted average assumptions, which was $9.80 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 the Company did not grant any stock options.

Risk-free interest rate | 2.5 | % |
Expected volatility | 34.8 | % |
Expected holding period (years) | 3.8 |

Expected volatility is calculated as the historical volatility of the Company’s stock over a period equal to the expected term of the options, as management believes this is the best representation of prospective trends. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee terminations within the valuation model. The expected holding period represents the period of time that options are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on a blend of the three and five-year U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
As of June 30, 2018, the total unrecognized compensation cost of $127 million related to unvested restricted stock grants is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.2 years. As of June 30, 2018, the total unrecognized compensation cost of $15 million related to unvested stock option grants is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.9 years.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan The Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") provides employees a 15% discount on stock purchases using a three-month look-back feature where the discount is applied to the stock price that represents the lower of NCR’s closing stock price on either the first day or the last day of each calendar quarter. Participants can contribute between 1% and 10% of their compensation.
For the three months ended June 30, 2018, employees purchased 0.1 million shares, at a discounted price of $26.18. For the three months ended June 30, 2017, employees purchased 0.1 million shares, at a discounted price of $38.83.

Employer Contributions
Pension For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, NCR contributed $6 million and $13 million, respectively, to its international pension plans. NCR anticipates contributing an additional $17 million to its international pension plans for a total of $30 million in 2018.
Postretirement For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, NCR contributed zero and $1 million, respectively, to its U.S. postretirement plan. NCR anticipates contributing an additional $1 million to its U.S. postretirement plan for a total of $2 million in 2018.
Postemployment For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, NCR contributed $10 million and $18 million, respectively, to its postemployment plans. NCR anticipates contributing an additional $42 million to its postemployment plans for a total of $60 million in 2018.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, NCR is subject to various proceedings, lawsuits, claims and other matters, including, for example, those that relate to the environment and health and safety, labor and employment, employee benefits, import/export compliance, intellectual property, data privacy and security, product liability, commercial disputes and regulatory compliance, among others. Additionally, NCR is subject to diverse and complex laws and regulations, including those relating to corporate governance, public disclosure and reporting, environmental safety and the discharge of materials into the environment, product safety, import and export compliance, data privacy and security, antitrust and competition, government contracting, anti-corruption, and labor and human resources, which are rapidly changing and subject to many possible changes in the future. Compliance with these laws and regulations, including changes in accounting standards, taxation requirements, and federal securities laws among others, may create a substantial burden on, and substantially increase costs to NCR or could have an impact on NCR's future operating results. The Company has reflected all liabilities when a loss is considered probable and reasonably estimable in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We do not believe there is a reasonable possibility that losses exceeding amounts already recognized have been incurred, but there can be no assurances that the amounts required to satisfy alleged liabilities from such matters will not impact future operating results. Other than as stated below, the Company does not currently expect to incur material capital expenditures related to such matters. However, there can be no assurances that the actual amounts required to satisfy alleged liabilities from various lawsuits, claims, legal proceedings and other matters, including, but not limited to the Fox River and Kalamazoo River environmental matters and other matters discussed below, and to comply with applicable laws and regulations, will not exceed the amounts reflected in NCR’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated results of operations, capital expenditures, competitive position, financial condition or cash flows.
In June 2014, one of the Company’s Brazilian subsidiaries, NCR Manaus, was notified of a Brazilian federal tax assessment of R168 million, or approximately $44 million as of June 30, 2018, including penalties and interest regarding certain federal indirect taxes for 2010 through 2012. The assessment alleges improper importation of certain components into Brazil's free trade zone that would nullify related indirect tax incentives. We have not recorded an accrual for the assessment, as the Company believes it has a valid position regarding indirect taxes in Brazil and, as such, has filed an appeal in 2014. In December 2017, the Company prevailed in this appeal regarding substantially all of the disputed amounts. However, the Brazilian federal tax authority has further appealed this dispute to the next procedural level, so the dispute is ongoing. The Company estimated the aggregate risk related to this matter to be between zero to approximately $65 million as of June 30, 2018. Although the Company has not recorded an accrual, it is possible that the Company could be required to pay taxes, penalties and interest related to this matter, which could be material to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Environmental Matters NCR's facilities and operations are subject to a wide range of environmental protection laws, and NCR has investigatory and remedial activities underway at a number of facilities that it currently owns or operates, or formerly owned or operated, to comply, or to determine compliance, with such laws. Also, NCR has been identified, either by a government agency or by a private party seeking contribution to site clean-up costs, as a potentially responsible party (PRP) at a number of sites pursuant to various state and federal laws, including the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and comparable state statutes. Other than the Fox River matter and the Kalamazoo River matter discussed below, we currently do not anticipate material expenses and liabilities from these environmental matters.
Fox River NCR is one of eight entities that were formally notified by governmental and other entities, such as local Native American tribes, that they are PRPs for environmental claims (under CERCLA and other statutes) arising out of the presence of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in sediments in the lower Fox River and in the Bay of Green Bay in Wisconsin. The other Fox River PRPs that received notices include Appleton Papers Inc. (API; now known as Appvion, Inc.), P.H. Glatfelter Company ("Glatfelter"), Georgia-Pacific Consumer Products LP (GP, successor to Fort James Operating Company), and others. NCR was identified as a PRP because of alleged PCB discharges from two carbonless copy paper manufacturing facilities it previously owned, which were located along the Fox River. NCR sold its facilities in 1978 to API. The parties have also contended that NCR is responsible for PCB discharges from paper mills owned by other companies because NCR carbonless copy paper "broke" was allegedly purchased by those other mills as a raw material.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (together, the Governments) developed clean-up plans for the upper and lower parts of the Fox River and for portions of the Bay of Green Bay. On November 13, 2007, the Governments issued a unilateral administrative order (the 2007 Order) under CERCLA to the eight original PRPs, requiring them to perform remedial work under the Governments’ clean-up plan for the lower parts of the river (operable units 2 through 5). In April 2009, NCR and API formed a limited liability company (the LLC), which entered into an agreement with an environmental remediation contractor to perform the work at the Fox River site. In-water dredging and remediation under the clean-up plan commenced shortly thereafter.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)—(Continued)
NCR and API, along with B.A.T Industries p.l.c. (BAT), share among themselves a portion of the cost of the Fox River clean-up and natural resource damages (NRD) based upon a 1998 agreement (the Cost Sharing Agreement), a 2005 arbitration award (subsequently confirmed as a judgment), and a September 30, 2014 Funding Agreement (the Funding Agreement). The Cost Sharing Agreement and the arbitration resolved disputes that arose out of the Company's 1978 sale of its Fox River facilities to API. The Cost Sharing Agreement and arbitration award resulted in a 45% share for NCR of the first $75 million of such costs (a threshold that was reached in 2008), and a 40% share for amounts in excess of $75 million. The Funding Agreement arose out of a 2012 to 2014 arbitration dispute between NCR and API, and provides for regular, ongoing funding of NCR-incurred Fox River remediation costs via contributions, made to a new limited liability corporation created by the Funding Agreement, by BAT, API and, for 2014, API's indemnitor Windward Prospects. The Funding Agreement creates an obligation on BAT and API to fund 50% of NCR’s Fox River remediation costs from October 1, 2014 forward; (API’s Fox River-related obligations under the Funding Agreement were fully satisfied in 2016); the Funding Agreement also provides NCR contractual avenues for payment of, via direct and third-party sources, (1) the difference between BAT’s and API’s 60% obligation under the Cost Sharing Agreement and arbitration award on the one hand and their ongoing (since September 2014) 50% payments under the Funding Agreement on the other, as well as (2) the difference between the amount NCR received under the Funding Agreement and the amount owed to it under the Cost Sharing Agreement and arbitration award for the period from April 2012 through September 2014. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the receivable under the Funding Agreement was approximately $40 million and $38 million, respectively, and was included in other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company anticipates that it will collect sums related to the receivable in 2019 or later, likely after the remediation efforts related to the Fox River matter, described below, are complete. This receivable is not taken into account in calculating the Company’s Fox River net reserve.
The Company's litigations relating to contribution and enforcement claims concerning the Fox River have largely been concluded. A proposed consent decree settlement (the CD settlement) with respect to the contribution action (a case originally filed by NCR and API) and the government enforcement action (a case originally filed by the federal and state governments against several PRPs, including the Company) was successfully negotiated by NCR and the federal and state governments and was approved by the federal district court in Wisconsin, which had been presiding over those cases, on August 22, 2017. A final order of dismissal as to the Company in the contribution and government enforcement actions was subsequently entered; one party, Glatfelter, has appealed the approval of the CD settlement. That appeal remains pending.
The CD settlement, if approved on appeal, is expected to resolve the remaining Fox River-related claims against the Company. The key components of the approved CD settlement include (1) the Company’s commitment to complete the remediation of the Fox River, which is now expected to be completed in 2019 or 2020; (2) the Company’s conditional agreement to waive its contribution claims against the two remaining defendants in the case, GP and Glatfelter; (3) the Company’s agreement not to appeal the trial court’s decision on divisibility of harm; (4) the Governments’ agreement to include in the settlement so-called “contribution protection” in the Company’s favor as to GP’s and Glatfelter’s contribution claims against the Company, the effect of which will be to extinguish those claims; (5) the Governments’ agreement not to pursue the Company for the Governments’ past oversight costs; and (6) the Governments’ agreement to exercise prosecutorial discretion in pursuing other parties for future oversight costs and long-term monitoring and maintenance, with the Company retaining so-called “backstop” liability in the event that the other parties fail to pay future oversight costs or to perform long-term monitoring and maintenance. Additionally, although certain state law claims by GP and Glatfelter against the Company may not be affected directly by the CD settlement, the CD settlement provides that the Company’s contribution claims against those two parties will revive if those parties attempt to assert any claims against the Company relating to the Fox River, including any state law claims.
In the quarter ending September 30, 2017, the remediation general contractor commenced an arbitration against the LLC, in a dispute over contract interpretation. That dispute is scheduled for a hearing in mid-2019.
With respect to the Company’s prior dispute with API, which was generally superseded by the Funding Agreement, the Company received timely payments as they came due under the Funding Agreement. Although API filed for bankruptcy protection in October 2017, it had made all of the payments to the Company in connection with the Fox River that are required of it by the Funding Agreement.
NCR's eventual remediation liability, followed by long-term monitoring expected to be performed by others, will depend on a number of factors. In establishing the reserve, NCR attempts to estimate a range of reasonably possible outcomes for each of these factors, although each range is itself uncertain. NCR uses its best estimate within the range, if that is possible. Where there is a range of equally possible outcomes, and there is no amount within that range that is considered to be a better estimate than any other amount, NCR uses the low end of the range. The significant factors include: (1) the total remaining clean-up costs, including long-term monitoring following completion of the clean-up, and what parties are assigned to discharge the post-clean-up tasks (as noted, the Company no longer expects to bear long-term monitoring costs); (2) total NRD for the site and the share that NCR will bear (which is now resolved as to the Company); (3) the share of clean-up costs that NCR will bear (which is resolved under the CD settlement); (4) NCR's transaction and litigation costs to defend itself in this matter (with remaining litigation believed to be
NCR Corporation
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)—(Continued)
limited to the Glatfelter appeal and the claim brought by the general contractor, both referenced above); and (5) the share of NCR's payments that BAT will bear (which is governed by the Cost Sharing Agreement and the Funding Agreement, as discussed above; API is in bankruptcy and is not presumed likely to bear further shares of NCR’s payments). With respect to NRD, in connection with a certain settlement entered into by other PRPs in 2015, the Government withdrew the NRD claims it had prosecuted on behalf of NRD trustees, including those NRD claims asserted against the Company.
Calculation of the Company's Fox River reserve is subject to several complexities, and it is possible there could be additional changes to some elements of the reserve over upcoming periods, although the Company is unable to predict or estimate such changes at this time. There can be no assurance that the clean-up and related expenditures and liabilities will not have a material effect on NCR's capital expenditures, earnings, financial condition, cash flows, or competitive position. As of June 30, 2018, the gross reserve for the Fox River matter was approximately $28 million, compared to $36 million as of December 31, 2017. As of June 30, 2018, the net reserve for the Fox River matter was approximately $27 million, compared to $35 million as of December 31, 2017. The change in the net reserve is due to payments for clean-up activities and litigation costs. NCR contributes to the LLC to fund remediation activities and generally, by contract, has funded certain amounts of remediation expenses in advance. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, approximately zero remained from this funding. NCR's reserve for the Fox River matter is reduced as the LLC makes payments to the remediation contractor and other vendors with respect to remediation activities.
Under a 1996 agreement, AT&T Corp. (AT&T) and Nokia (as the successor to Lucent Technologies and Alcatel-Lucent USA) are responsible severally (not jointly) for indemnifying NCR for certain portions of the amounts paid by NCR for the Fox River matter over a defined threshold and subject to certain offsets. (The agreement governs certain aspects of AT&T's divestiture of NCR and of what was then known as Lucent Technologies.) Those companies have made the payments requested of them by the Company on an ongoing basis.
Kalamazoo River In November 2010, USEPA issued a "general notice letter" to NCR with respect to the Allied Paper, Inc./Portage Creek/Kalamazoo River Superfund Site (Kalamazoo River site) in Michigan. Three other companies - International Paper, Mead Corporation, and Consumers Energy - also received general notice letters at or about the same time. USEPA asserts that the site is contaminated by various substances, primarily PCBs, as a result of discharges by various paper mills located along the river. USEPA does not claim that the Company made direct discharges into the Kalamazoo River, and NCR never had facilities at or near the Kalamazoo River site, but USEPA indicated that "NCR may be liable under Section 107 of CERCLA ... as an arranger, who by contract or agreement, arranged for the disposal, treatment and/or transportation of hazardous substances at the Site." USEPA stated that it "may issue special notice letters to [NCR] and other PRPs for future RI/FS [remedial investigation / feasibility studies] and RD/RA [remedial design / remedial action] negotiations."
In connection with the Kalamazoo River site, in December 2010 the Company, along with two other defendants, was sued in federal court by three Georgia-Pacific (GP) affiliate corporations in a private-party contribution and cost recovery action for alleged pollution. The suit, pending in Michigan, asks that the Company and the other defendants to pay a "fair portion" of these companies’ costs. Various removal and remedial actions remain to be decided upon and performed at the Kalamazoo River site, the costs for which generally have not yet been determined; in 2017 Records of Decisions were issued for two parts of the river, but such decisions for the majority of the work are expected to be made only over the next several years. The suit alleges that the Company is liable to the GP entities as an "arranger" under CERCLA. The initial phase of the case was tried in a Michigan federal court in February 2013; on September 26, 2013 the court issued a decision that held NCR was liable as an “arranger” as of at least March 1969. (PCB-containing carbonless copy paper was produced from approximately 1954 to April 1971, and the majority of contamination at the Kalamazoo River site had occurred prior to 1969). NCR preserved its right to appeal the September 2013 decision.
In the 2013 decision the Court did not determine NCR’s share of overall liability. Relative shares of liability for the four companies were tried to the court in a subsequent phase of the case in December 2015. In a ruling issued on March 29, 2018, the court addressed responsibility for the costs that GP had incurred in the past, totaling to approximately $50 million; NCR and GP were each assigned a 40% share of those costs, and the other two companies were assigned 15% and 5% as their allocations. The court entered a judgment in the case on June 19, 2018, in which it indicated that it would not, allocate future costs, but would enter a declaratory judgment that the four companies together had responsibility for future costs, in amounts and shares to be determined. NCR expects to have claims against BAT and API under the Funding Agreement, discussed above for Kalamazoo River remediation expenses. API filed for bankruptcy protection in October 2017, and thus payment of its potential share under the Funding Agreement for so-called “future sites,” which would include the Kalamazoo River site, may be at risk, but as liability under the Cost Sharing Agreement and the Funding Agreement is joint and several, the bankruptcy is not anticipated to affect the Company’s ability to seek that amount from BAT. The Company will also have indemnity or reimbursement claims against AT&T and Nokia under the arrangement discussed above in connection with the Fox River matter after expenses have met a contractual threshold set out in the 1996 agreement referenced above in the Fox River discussion.

In light of the 2018 decision, the Company has increased its reserve for the Kalamazoo River matter to $46 million as of June 30, 2018; as many aspects of the costs of remediation will not be determined for several years (and thus the high end of a range of possible costs for many areas of the site cannot be quantified at this time). The Company has made what it considers to be reasonable estimates of the low end of a range for such costs where remedies are identified, and/or of the costs of investigations and studies for areas of the river where remedies have not yet been determined, and the reserve is informed by those estimates. The extent of NCR’s potential liability remains subject to many uncertainties, particularly inasmuch as the work to be performed will take place primarily if not exclusively in the 2020s. Under other assumptions or estimates for possible costs of remediation, which the Company does not at this point consider to be reasonably estimable or verifiable, it is possible that the charge the Company has taken to discontinued operations reflected in this paragraph could approximately double.
In July 2018 the Company appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit both the 2013 court decision, which it believes is in conflict with a decision from the Fox River trial court as to Operable Unit 1 of that site and an affirmance of that decision from the Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, and the 2018 court decision, on various legal grounds.
Environmental-Related Insurance Recoveries In connection with the Fox River and other environmental sites, through June 30, 2018, NCR has received a combined gross total of approximately $202 million in settlements reached with its principal insurance carriers. Portions of many of these settlements agreed in the 2010 through 2013 timeframe are payable to a law firm that litigated the claims on the Company's behalf. Some of the settlements cover not only the Fox River but also other environmental sites; some are limited to the Kalamazoo River site. Some of the settlements are directed to defense costs and some are directed to indemnity costs. The Company does not anticipate the material insurance recoveries specific to Kalamazoo River remediation costs will be available to it, owing to considerations under applicable Michigan law. Claims with respect to Kalamazoo River defense costs have now been settled, with the amounts of those settlements included in the sum reported above.
Environmental Remediation Estimates It is difficult to estimate the future financial impact of environmental laws, including potential liabilities. NCR records environmental provisions when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount or range of the liability is reasonably estimable. Provisions for estimated losses from environmental restoration and remediation are, depending on the site, based generally on internal and third-party environmental studies, estimates as to the number and participation level of other PRPs, the extent of contamination, estimated amounts for attorney and other fees, and the nature of required clean-up and restoration actions. Reserves are adjusted as further information develops or circumstances change. Management expects that the amounts reserved from time to time will be paid out over the period of investigation, negotiation, remediation and restoration for the applicable sites. The amounts provided for environmental matters in NCR's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are the estimated gross undiscounted amounts of such liabilities, without deductions for indemnity insurance, third-party indemnity claims or recoveries from other PRPs, except as qualified in the following sentences. In those cases where insurance carriers or third-party indemnitors have agreed to pay any amounts and management believes that collectability of such amounts is probable, the amounts are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. For the Fox River and Kalamazoo River sites, as described above, assets relating to the AT&T and Nokia indemnities and to the BAT obligations are recorded as payment is supported by contractual agreements, public filings and/or payment history.
Guarantees and Product Warranties In the ordinary course of business, NCR may issue performance guarantees on behalf of its subsidiaries to certain of its customers and other parties. Some of those guarantees may be backed by standby letters of credit, surety bonds, or similar instruments. In general, under the guarantees, NCR would be obligated to perform, or cause performance, over the term of the underlying contract in the event of an unexcused, uncured breach by its subsidiary, or some other specified triggering event, in each case as defined by the applicable guarantee. NCR believes the likelihood of having to perform under any such guarantee is remote. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, NCR had no material obligations related to such guarantees, and therefore its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not have any associated liability balance.
NCR provides its customers a standard manufacturer’s warranty and records, at the time of the sale, a corresponding estimated liability for potential warranty costs. Estimated future obligations due to warranty claims are based upon historical factors, such as labor rates, average repair time, travel time, number of service calls per machine and cost of replacement parts. When a sale is consummated, the total customer revenue is recognized, provided that all revenue recognition criteria are otherwise satisfied, and the associated warranty liability is recorded using pre-established warranty percentages for the respective product classes.
From time to time, product design or quality corrections are accomplished through modification programs. When identified, associated costs of labor and parts for such programs are estimated and accrued as part of the warranty reserve.
The Company recorded the activity related to the warranty reserve for the six months ended June 30 as follows:

In addition, NCR provides its customers with certain indemnification rights. In general, NCR agrees to indemnify the customer if a third party asserts patent or other infringement on the part of its customers for its use of the Company’s products subject to certain conditions that are generally standard within the Company’s industries. On limited occasions the Company will undertake additional indemnification obligations for business reasons. From time to time, NCR also enters into agreements in connection with its acquisition and divestiture activities that include indemnification obligations by the Company. The fair value of these indemnification obligations is not readily determinable due to the conditional nature of the Company’s potential obligations and the specific facts and circumstances involved with each particular agreement. The Company has not recorded a liability in connection with these indemnifications, and no current indemnification instance is material to the Company’s financial position. Historically, any payments made by the Company under these types of agreements have not had a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
10. SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
On December 4, 2015, NCR issued 820,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to certain entities affiliated with The Blackstone Group L.P. for an aggregate purchase price of $820 million, or $1,000 per share, pursuant to an Investment Agreement between the Company and Blackstone, dated November 11, 2015. In connection with the issuance of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company incurred direct and incremental expenses of $26 million, including financial advisory fees, closing costs, legal expenses and other offering-related expenses. These direct and incremental expenses reduced the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and will be accreted through retained earnings as a deemed dividend from the date of issuance through the first possible known redemption date, March 16, 2024. Holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to a cumulative dividend at the rate of 5.5% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears. During the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company paid dividends-in-kind of $12 million and $11 million, respectively, associated with the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company paid dividends-in-kind of $23 million, respectively, associated with the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had accrued dividends of $3 million, respectively, associated with the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. There were no cash dividends declared during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 or 2017.
The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holders at any time into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $30.00 per share, or a conversion rate of 33.333 shares of common stock per share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
Under the Investment Agreement, Blackstone agreed not to sell or otherwise transfer its shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (or any shares of common stock issued upon conversion thereof) without the Company’s consent until June 4, 2017. In March 2017, we provided Blackstone with an early release from this lock-up, allowing Blackstone to sell approximately 49% of its shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and in return, Blackstone agreed to amend the Investment Agreement to extend the lock-up on the remaining 51% of its shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for six months until December 1, 2017.
In connection with the early release of the lock-up, Blackstone offered for sale 342,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in an underwritten public offering. In addition, Blackstone converted 90,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of our common stock and we repurchased those shares of common stock for $48.47 per share. The underwritten offering and the stock repurchase were consummated on March 17, 2017.
The repurchase of the common shares immediately upon conversion is considered a redemption of the related preferred shares. As a result, the excess of the fair value of consideration transferred over the carrying value, of $58 million, was included as a deemed dividend in adjusting the income from common stockholders in calculating earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Additionally, we determined that the changes to the lock-up period were considered a modification of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The impact of the modification, calculated as the difference in the fair value immediately before and immediately after the changes, of $4 million, was included as a deemed dividend in adjusting the income from common stockholders in calculating earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2017. This adjustment was recorded as an increase

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)—(Continued)
to the Series A Convertible Preferred Shares and will reduce the accretion of the direct and incremental expenses associated with the original offering as described above. Refer to Note 12. Earnings per Share for additional discussion.
As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the maximum number of common shares that could be required to be issued upon conversion of the outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was 28.2 million and 27.5 million shares, respectively.

12. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing net income or loss attributable to NCR, less any dividends (declared or cumulative undeclared), deemed dividends, accretion or decretion, redemption or induced conversion on our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.
In computing diluted EPS, we adjust the numerator used in the basic EPS computation, subject to anti-dilution requirements, to add back the dividends (declared or cumulative undeclared), deemed dividends, accretion or decretion, redemption or induced conversion on our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. We adjust the denominator used in the basic EPS computation, subject to anti-dilution requirements, to include the dilution from potential shares related to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and stock-based compensation plans.
The holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, unvested restricted stock units and stock options do not have nonforfeitable rights to common stock dividends or common stock dividend equivalents. Accordingly, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, unvested restricted stock units and stock options do not qualify as participating securities. See Note 7. Stock Compensation Plans for share information on NCR’s stock compensation plans.

For the three months ended June 30, 2018, shares related to the as-if converted Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were excluded from the diluted share count because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. The weighted shares related to as-if converted Series A Convertible Preferred Stock excluded were 28.1 million. Weighted average restricted stock units and stock options of 2.3 million were excluded from the diluted share count because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
For the three months ended June 30, 2017, it was more dilutive to assume the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was converted to common stock and therefore weighted average outstanding shares of common stock were adjusted by the as-if converted Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the diluted earnings per share was calculated excluding the quarterly dividends.
For the six months ended June 30, 2018, shares related to the as-if converted Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were excluded from the diluted share count because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. The weighted shares related to as-if converted Series A Convertible Preferred Stock excluded were 27.9 million. Weighted average restricted stock units of 2.3 million were excluded from the diluted share count because their effect would have been anti-dilutive
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, shares related to the as-if converted Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were excluded from the diluted share count because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Weighted average restricted stock units of 0.5 million were excluded from the diluted share count because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
13. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING INSTRUMENTS
NCR is exposed to risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. NCR utilizes a variety of measures to monitor and manage these risks, including the use of derivative financial instruments. NCR has exposure to approximately 50 functional currencies. Since a substantial portion of our operations and revenue occur outside the U.S., and in
NCR Corporation
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)—(Continued)
currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, our results can be significantly impacted, both positively and negatively, by changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
The accounting guidance for derivatives and hedging requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company designates foreign exchange contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions when they are determined to be highly effective at inception.
Our risk management strategy includes hedging, on behalf of certain subsidiaries, a portion of our forecasted, non-functional currency denominated cash flows for a period of up to 15 months. As a result, some of the impact of currency fluctuations on non-functional currency denominated transactions (and hence on subsidiary operating income, as stated in the functional currency), is mitigated in the near term. The amount we hedge and the duration of hedge contracts may vary significantly. In the longer term (greater than 15 months), the subsidiaries are still subject to the effect of translating the functional currency results to U.S. Dollars. To manage our exposures and mitigate the impact of currency fluctuations on the operations of our foreign subsidiaries, we hedge our main transactional exposures through the use of foreign exchange forward and option contracts. This is primarily done through the hedging of foreign currency denominated inter-company inventory purchases by NCR’s marketing units and the foreign currency denominated inputs to our manufacturing units. The related foreign exchange contracts are designated as highly effective cash flow hedges. The gains or losses on these hedges are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) and reclassified to income when the underlying hedged transaction is recorded in earnings. As of June 30, 2018, the balance in AOCI related to foreign exchange derivative transactions was a gain of $3 million, net of tax. The gains or losses from derivative contracts related to inventory purchases are recorded in cost of products when the inventory is sold to an unrelated third party.
We also utilize foreign exchange contracts to hedge our exposure of assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies. We recognize the gains and losses on these types of hedges in earnings as exchange rates change. We do not enter into hedges for speculative purposes.

Concentration of Credit Risk
NCR is potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk on accounts receivable and financial instruments such as hedging instruments and cash and cash equivalents. Credit risk includes the risk of nonperformance by counterparties. The maximum potential loss may exceed the amount recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Exposure to credit risk is managed through credit approvals, credit limits, selecting major international financial institutions (as counterparties to hedging transactions) and monitoring procedures. NCR’s business often involves large transactions with customers, and if one or more of those customers were to default on its obligations under applicable contractual arrangements, the Company could be exposed to potentially significant losses. However, management believes that the reserves for potential losses are adequate. As of June 30, 2018, we did not have any significant concentration of credit risk related to financial instruments.

(1) Included in Cash and cash equivalents in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(2) Included in Other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(3) Included in Other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Deposits Held in Money Market Mutual Funds A portion of the Company’s excess cash is held in money market mutual funds which generate interest income based on prevailing market rates. Money market mutual fund holdings are measured at fair value using quoted market prices and are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.
Foreign Exchange Contracts As a result of our global operating activities, we are exposed to risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, which may adversely affect our financial condition. To manage our exposures and mitigate the impact of currency fluctuations on our financial results, we hedge our primary transactional exposures through the use of foreign exchange forward and option contracts. The foreign exchange contracts are valued using the market approach based on observable market transactions of forward rates and are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis
From time to time, certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). NCR reviews the carrying values of investments when events and circumstances warrant and considers all available evidence in evaluating when declines in fair value are other-than-temporary declines. Other than the impairment charges described in Note 4. Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets, no material impairment charges or non-recurring fair value adjustments were recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.
15. SEGMENT INFORMATION AND CONCENTRATIONS
The Company manages and reports the following three segments:
| |

We also offer a portfolio of other industry-oriented software applications including cash management software, video banking software, fraud and loss prevention |
NCR Corporation
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)—(Continued)
applications, check and document imaging, remote-deposit capture and customer-facing mobile and digital banking applications for the financial services industry; and secure electronic and mobile payment solutions, sector-specific point of sale software applications, and back-office inventory and store and restaurant management applications for the retail and hospitality industries. Additionally, we provide ongoing software support and maintenance services, as well as consulting and implementation services for our software solutions.
| |
• | Services - Our global end-to-end services solutions include assessment and preparation, staging, installation, implementation, and maintenance and support for our solutions. We also provide systems management and complete managed services for our product offerings. In addition, we provide installation, maintenance and servicing for third party networking products and computer hardware from select manufacturers. |
| |
• | Hardware - Our hardware solutions include our suite of financial-oriented self-service ATM-related hardware, and our retail- and hospitality-oriented point of sale (POS) terminal, self-checkout (SCO) kiosk and related hardware. We also offer other self-service kiosks, such as self-check in/out kiosks for airlines, and wayfinding solutions for buildings and campuses. |
These segments represent components of the Company for which separate financial information is available that is utilized on a regular basis by the chief operating decision maker in assessing segment performance and in allocating the Company's resources. Management evaluates the performance of the segments based on revenue and segment operating income. Assets are not allocated to segments, and thus are not included in the assessment of segment performance, and consequently, we do not disclose total assets by reportable segment.
The accounting policies used to determine the results of the operating segments are the same as those utilized for the consolidated financial statements as a whole. Intersegment sales and transfers are not material.
To maintain operating focus on business performance, non-operational items are excluded from the segment operating results utilized by our chief operating decision maker in evaluating segment performance and are separately delineated to reconcile back to total reported income from operations.

17. RESTRUCTURING PLAN
In the second quarter of 2018, we announced a hardware transformation initiative to streamline our manufacturing operations that will help us reduce our exposure to variable hardware demand as well as increase global utilization rates and optimize our supply
NCR Corporation
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)—(Continued)
chain network. As a part of this initiative, we plan to reduce the number of manufacturing plants and move the manufacturing operations at those plants to other existing NCR facilities and current third party suppliers.
As a result of the restructuring plan, the Company recorded a total charge of $24 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. The Company expects that it may incur additional charges during 2018 related to this restructuring program. Such additional charges will be expensed as incurred. The restructuring program is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2019.
Severance and other employee related costs Of the $5 million recorded, $3 million was recorded as a discrete cost in accordance with ASC 712, Employers’ Accounting for Postemployment Benefits, when the severance liability was determined to be probable and reasonably estimable. The remaining $2 million of employee related costs was recorded in accordance with ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations. The Company made zero and $2 million in severance-related payments under ASC 712 and ASC 420, respectively, related to the restructuring plan in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.
Inventory related charges The Company recorded $17 million of inventory related charges for rationalizing its product portfolio and writing down inventory to be sold to third party suppliers to the lower of cost or net realizable value.
Other exit costs The Company recorded $2 million for costs primarily related to moving inventory and fixed assets from the plant locations that will be closed, $1 million of which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses and $1 million, which is included in cost of products.
The results by segment, as disclosed in Note 15. Segment Information and Concentrations, exclude the impact of these costs, which is consistent with the manner by which management assesses the performance and evaluates the results of each segment. The following table summarizes the costs recorded in accordance with ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations, and ASC 712, Employers’ Accounting for Postemployment Benefits, and the remaining liabilities as of June 30, 2018, which are included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet in Other Current Liabilities.

Item 2. | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (MD&A) |
Overview
The following were the significant events for the second quarter of 2018, each of which is discussed more fully in later sections of this MD&A:
| |
• | Revenue decreased approximately 4% from the prior year period and 5% excluding favorable foreign currency impacts; |
| |
• | Software revenue increased 1% from the prior year period, driven by cloud revenue growth of 7%, and operating margin declined 290 basis points from the prior year period; |
| |
• | Services revenue increased 4% and operating margin rate remained consistent from the prior year period; |
| |
• | Hardware revenue decreased 16% and operating margin rate declined 790 basis points from the prior year period; and |
| |
• | The Company recorded $183 million of asset impairment charges related to its Hardware business. |
The rise of digital commerce, mobile engagement and globalization have dramatically altered the relationship between business and consumer. Increasingly, mega-trends such as big data, the Internet of things and the cloud are driving the next generation of changes in consumer behavior. Consumers now expect businesses to provide a rich, integrated and personalized experience across all commerce channels, including in-store, online and mobile. Our mission is to innovate and enable the next generation of consumer experiences and productivity gains to enrich the interactions of businesses with their customers. To fulfill this mission, we have developed a long-term strategy built on being a global technology solutions company that uses cloud-based and other software, coupled with end-to-end smart-edge hardware and services solutions, to help our customers deliver on the promise of an omni-channel experience. We believe that our mission and long-term strategy position NCR to continue to drive sustainable revenue, profit and cash flow, and to improve value for all of our stakeholders.
To deliver on our mission and strategy, we are focused on the following main initiatives in 2018:
| |
• | Customer Experience - Improving the customer experience by improving solution quality, availability and security. |
| |
• | Strategic and Recurring Revenue - Continuing our focus on cloud, software platform, smart-edge devices and professional and managed services to drive profitable revenue and operating income. |
| |
• | Sales Effectiveness - Providing our sales force with the training, tools, support and coverage model necessary to optimize efficiency and achieve our sales plan. |
| |
• | Services Transformation - Driving performance and sustainable margin improvement by focusing on productivity and efficiency improvements, expanding our remote diagnostics and repair capabilities, creating greater discipline in our product lifecycle management, and employing a higher mix of managed services. |
| |
• | Evolving our Business Model - Continuing the shift in our business model to provide innovative end-to-end solutions for our customers, with best in class support while keeping an efficient cost structure to create competitive advantage. |
| |
• | New Products - Launching new industry products, powered by our platform software with best in class product lifecycle management and go-to-market support, and migrating and releasing existing licensed software products as cloud-based products. |
| |
• | Operating Model Innovation - Eliminating waste, utilizing effective product lifecycle management, increasing productivity, using technology as an enabler, and executing on business process improvements to reduce costs and use savings to invest in strategic initiatives, product innovation and people. |
| |
• | Team and Talent - Attracting, developing and retaining top talent by deploying competitive recruiting and training programs, evolving our brand, and continuously engaging with employees. |
Consistent with the foregoing, we are evaluating and beginning to implement certain initiatives focused on realigning resources and optimizing our portfolio of software solutions, accelerating structural changes in our services business and streamlining our hardware operations, particularly in supply chain and manufacturing. In addition, we plan, in pursuing our strategy, to continue to manage our costs effectively, to selectively pursue acquisitions and divestitures that promote our strategy, and to selectively penetrate market adjacencies in single and emerging growth industry segments.
Potentially significant risks to the execution of our initiatives and achievement of our strategy include the strength of demand for automated teller machines and other financial services hardware and its effect on our businesses; our ability to generate accurate forecasts of product demand and to engage third-party suppliers appropriately to meet that demand, including the on-boarding of new or additional suppliers; domestic and global economic and credit conditions including, in particular, those resulting from the imposition or threat of protectionist trade policies or import or export tariffs, global and regional market conditions and spending trends in the financial services and retail industries, new comprehensive U.S. tax legislation, modified or new global or regional trade agreements, the determination by the United Kingdom to exit the European Union, uncertainty over further potential changes in Eurozone participation and fluctuations in oil and commodity prices; our ability to transform our business model and to sell higher-margin software and services, including our ability to successfully streamline our hardware operations through manufacturing network redesign and use of outsourced manufacturing; the success of our restructuring plans and cost reduction initiatives; our ability to improve execution in our sales and services organizations; market acceptance of new solutions and competition in the information technology industry; cybersecurity risks and compliance with data privacy and protection requirements; disruptions in or problems with our data center hosting facilities; defects or errors in our products; the historical seasonality of our sales; tax rates and new US tax legislation; uncertainties or delays associated with the transition of key business leaders and foreign currency fluctuations.

(1) The tables above for the three and six months ended ended June 30 are presented with period-over-period revenue growth or declines on a constant currency basis. Constant currency is a non-GAAP measure that excludes the effects of foreign currency fluctuations. We calculate this information by translating prior period revenue growth at current period monthly average exchange rates. We believe that examining period-over-period revenue growth or decline excluding foreign currency fluctuations is useful for assessing the underlying performance of our business, and our management uses revenue growth adjusted for constant currency to evaluate period-over-period operating performance. This non-GAAP measure should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, period-over-period revenue growth under GAAP.

Revenue
For the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017, revenue decreased 4% due to a decrease in Hardware revenue partially offset by an increase in Software and Services revenue. Foreign currency fluctuations favorably impacted the revenue comparison by 1%.
Software revenue increased 1% driven by growth in cloud, software maintenance, and professional services, partially offset by declines in software licenses. Services revenue increased 4% due to growth in both hardware maintenance and managed and implementation services. Hardware revenue decreased 16% due to declines in Automated Teller Machine (ATM) and Point-of-Sale (POS) revenue, partially offset by an increase in Self-Checkout (SCO) revenue.
For the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017, revenue decreased 1% due to a decrease in Hardware revenue partially offset by an increase in Software and Services revenue. Foreign currency fluctuations favorably impacted the revenue comparison by 2%.
Software revenue increased 2% driven by growth in cloud, software maintenance, and professional services, partially offset by declines in software licenses. Services revenue increased 6% due to growth in both hardware maintenance and managed and implementation services. Hardware revenue decreased 10% due to declines in ATM and SCO revenue, and to a lesser extent in POS revenue.
The changes to segment revenue and the drivers thereof are discussed in further detail under "Revenue and Operating Income by Segment" below.
Gross Margin
Gross margin as a percentage of revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2018 was 26.2% compared to 28.9%, in the three months ended June 30, 2017. Gross margin in the three months ended June 30, 2018 included $41 million of costs related to restructuring and transformation initiatives. Excluding this item, gross margin as a percentage of revenue decreased slightly.
Gross margin as a percentage of revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2018 was 26.9% compared to 28.4% in the six months ended June 30, 2017. Gross margin in the six months ended June 30, 2018 included $45 million of costs related to restructuring and transformation initiatives. Excluding this item, gross margin as a percentage of revenue decreased slightly.
In the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, gross margin as a percentage of revenue expanded in our Services segment, which reflects the results of our strategic focus on business process improvement initiatives and a mix shift towards higher value managed services. The Services gross margin rate expansion was offset by a decline in our Software and Hardware segments. The decline in Software gross margin rate was primarily due to lower software license revenue partially offset by margin expansion in cloud and software maintenance. The decline in Hardware gross margin rate was due to lower volume and an unfavorable product mix.
Operating Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $261 million, or 17.0% as a percentage of revenue, in the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $228 million, or 14.3% as a percentage of revenue, in the three months ended June 30, 2017.

Excluding these items, selling, general and administrative expenses increased from 13.1% of revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2017 to 14.4% of revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was due to continued investment in the business.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $506 million, or 16.6% as a percentage of revenue, in the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $458 million, or 14.9% as a percentage of revenue, in the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Excluding these items, selling, general and administrative expenses increased from 13.6% of revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2017 to 14.4% of revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2018 due to continued investment in the business.
Research and development expenses were $65 million, or 4.2% as a percentage of revenue, in the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $58 million, or 3.6% as a percentage of revenue, in the three months ended June 30, 2017. Research and development expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017 included $3 million and $1 million, respectively, of costs related to our restructuring and transformation initiatives. Excluding these costs, research and development expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased slightly from 3.6% in the three months ended June 30, 2017 to 4.0% in the three months ended June 30, 2018.
Research and development expenses were $131 million, or 4.3% as a percentage of revenue, in the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $125 million, or 4.1% as a percentage of revenue, in the six months ended June 30, 2017. Research and development expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 included $5 million and $4 million, respectively, of costs related to our restructuring and transformation initiatives. Excluding these costs, research and development expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased slightly from 3.9% in the six months ended June 30, 2017 to 4.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2018.
Asset impairment charges were $183 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, which included a $146 million impairment of goodwill assigned to the Hardware reporting unit and a $37 million impairment charge related to long-lived assets held and used in our Hardware operations. Refer to Note 4. Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion.
Interest and Other Expense Items
Interest expense was $41 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $41 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017.
Interest expense was $82 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $80 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017.
Other expense, net was $9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017. Other expense, net in the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 included $7 million and $6 million, respectively, of losses from foreign currency remeasurement and foreign exchange contracts not designated as hedging instruments.
Other expense, net was $14 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017. Other expense, net in the six months ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017 included $13 million and $10 million, respectively, of losses from foreign currency remeasurement and foreign exchange contracts not designated as hedging instruments.
Provision for Income Taxes
Income tax provisions for interim (quarterly) periods are based on an estimated annual effective income tax rate calculated separately from the effect of significant, infrequent or unusual items. Income tax benefit was $12 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to income tax expense of $33 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease was driven by lower income before taxes, the impacts of U.S. Tax Reform and an increase in discrete benefits in the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in discrete benefits was primarily driven by favorable audit settlements in international jurisdictions.
Income tax benefit was $5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to income tax expense of $47 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease in income tax expense was driven by lower income before taxes, the impacts of U.S. Tax Reform and an increase in discrete benefits in the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in discrete benefits was primarily driven by favorable audit settlements in international jurisdictions, partially offset by the decrease of favorable excess tax benefits of share-based compensation awards.
The Company reviewed our United Kingdom net deferred tax assets for recoverability based on the evaluation of positive and negative evidence. A full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets will be maintained until sufficient positive evidence exists to reduce or eliminate the valuation allowance. The factors considered by management in its determination of the probability of the realization of the deferred tax assets include, but are not limited to, recent historical financial results, historical taxable income, projected future taxable income, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and tax planning strategies. As of June 30, 2018, the Company continued to maintain a full valuation allowance against the United Kingdom net deferred tax assets due to insufficient positive evidence and the uncertainty regarding anticipated future earnings at certain subsidiaries in the United Kingdom.
NCR is subject to numerous federal, state and foreign tax audits. While NCR believes that appropriate reserves exist for issues that might arise from these audits, should these audits be settled, the resulting tax effect could impact the tax provision and cash flows in 2018 or future periods. The Company regularly reviews our deferred tax assets for recoverability based on the evaluation of positive and negative evidence; given current earnings and anticipated future earnings at certain subsidiaries, the Company believes that there is a reasonable possibility sufficient positive evidence may become available that would allow the release of a valuation allowance within the next twelve months.
Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations
In the three months ended June 30, 2018, loss from discontinued operations was $2 million, net of tax, due to audit settlements partially related to Teradata. In the three months ended June 30, 2017, income from discontinued operations was $5 million due to an insurance settlement received related to environmental matters.
In the six months ended June 30, 2018 loss from discontinued operations was $37 million, net of tax, due to a ruling on the Kalamazoo environmental matter as well as audit settlements partially related to Teradata. In the six months ended June 30, 2017, income from discontinued operations was $5 million due to an insurance settlement received related to environmental matters.
Revenue and Operating Income by Segment
The Company manages and reports the following three segments:
| |
• | Software - Our software offerings include industry-based software platforms, applications and application suites for the financial services, retail, hospitality and small business industries. We also offer a portfolio of other industry-oriented software applications including cash management software, video banking software, fraud and loss prevention applications, check and document imaging, remote-deposit capture and customer-facing mobile and digital banking applications for the financial services industry; and secure electronic and mobile payment solutions, sector-specific point |
of sale software applications, and back-office inventory and store and restaurant management applications for the retail and hospitality industries. Additionally, we provide ongoing software support and maintenance services, as well as consulting and implementation services for our software solutions.
| |
• | Services - Our global end-to-end services solutions include assessment and preparation, staging, installation, implementation, and maintenance and support for our solutions. We also provide systems management and complete managed services for our product offerings. In addition, we provide installation, maintenance and servicing for third party networking products and computer hardware from select manufacturers. |
| |
• | Hardware - Our hardware solutions include our suite of financial-oriented self-service ATM-related hardware, and our retail- and hospitality-oriented point of sale terminal, self-checkout kiosk and related hardware. We also offer other self-service kiosks, such as self-check in/out kiosks for airlines, and wayfinding solutions for buildings and campuses. |
Each of these segments derives its revenue by selling in the sales theaters in which NCR operates. Segments are measured for profitability by the Company’s chief operating decision maker based on revenue and segment operating income. For purposes of discussing our operating results by segment, we exclude the impact of certain non-operational items from segment operating income, consistent with the manner by which management reviews each segment, evaluates performance, and reports our segment results under GAAP. This format is useful to investors because it allows analysis and comparability of operating trends. It also includes the same information that is used by NCR management to make decisions regarding the segments and to assess our financial performance. Our segment results are reconciled to total Company results reported under GAAP in Note 15. Segment Information and Concentrations of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In the segment discussions below, we have disclosed the impact of foreign currency fluctuations as it relates to our segment revenue.
Software Segment
The following table shows the Software segment revenue and operating income for the three and six months ended June 30:

|
Operating income as a percentage of revenue | 24.5 | % | | 27.4 | % | | 24.1 | % | | 27.4 | % |
In the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017, Software revenue increased 1%, driven by growth in cloud revenue of 7%, software maintenance revenue of 2% and professional services revenue of 2%, partially offset by declines in software license revenue of 12%. Cloud revenue growth was due to the impact from prior period bookings. Professional services revenue growth was due to demand for the Company's channel transformation and digital enablement solutions. Software maintenance revenue growth was due to software license sales from prior periods. Software license revenue declined due to lower hardware sales and unattached software licenses. Foreign currency fluctuations had a favorable impact of 1% on the revenue comparison.
In the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017, Software revenue increased 2%, driven by growth in cloud revenue of 8%, professional services revenue of 5%, and software maintenance revenue of 1%, partially offset by declines in software license revenue of 15%. Cloud revenue growth was due to the impact from prior period bookings. Professional services revenue growth was due to demand for the Company's channel transformation and digital enablement solutions. Software maintenance revenue growth was due to software license sales from prior periods. Software license revenue declined due to lower hardware sales and unattached software licenses. Foreign currency fluctuations had a favorable impact of 2% on the revenue comparison.
Operating income decreased in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease in operating income was driven by lower software license revenue partially offset by margin expansion in cloud and software maintenance.
Services Segment
The following table shows the Services segment revenue and operating income for the three and six months ended June 30:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three months ended June 30 | | Six months ended June 30 |

| | $ | 118 |
|
Operating income as a percentage of revenue | 12.6 | % | | 12.6 | % | | 11.5 | % | | 10.3 | % |
In the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, Services revenue increased 4% and 6%, driven by growth in hardware maintenance revenue as a result of improving trends for the Company's channel transformation solutions, combined with increased managed and implementation services revenue. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 foreign currency fluctuations had an favorable impact on the revenue comparison of 1% and 3%, respectively.
Operating income increased in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 primarily due to higher revenue, business process improvement initiatives and a mix shift of higher value services.
Hardware Segment
The following table shows the Hardware segment revenue and operating loss for the three and six months ended June 30:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

|
Operating (loss) income as a percentage of revenue | (5.9 | )% | | 2.0 | % | | (5.5 | )% | | 0.1 | % |
In the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017, Hardware revenue decreased 16% due to declines in ATM revenue of 21% and POS revenue of 16% partially offset by an increase in SCO revenue of 3%. ATM revenue declined primarily due to supply chain delays related to new product introductions. POS revenue declined due to the timing of customer projects for store transformation solutions. SCO revenue increased due to the timing of customer projects compared to the prior year period. Foreign currency fluctuations had a favorable impact on the revenue comparison of 1%.
In the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017, Hardware revenue decreased 10% due to declines in ATM revenue of 14%, SCO revenue of 11% and POS revenue of 1%. ATM revenue declined due to lower volume as well as supply chain delays related to new product introductions. SCO revenue decreased due to timing of customer projects compared to the prior year period. POS revenue decline due to the timing of customer projects for store transformation solutions. Foreign currency fluctuations had a favorable impact on the revenue comparison of 2%.
Operating loss increased in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 driven by lower revenue and an unfavorable product mix.
Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Capital Resources
Cash provided by operating activities was $95 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to cash provided by operating activities of $134 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was due to the timing of working capital needs.
NCR’s management uses a non-GAAP measure called “free cash flow” to assess the financial performance of the Company. We define free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities and cash provided by (used in) discontinued operations, less capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment, less additions to capitalized software, plus discretionary pension contributions and settlements. We believe free cash flow information is useful for investors because it relates the operating cash flows from the Company’s continuing and discontinued operations to the capital that is spent to continue and improve business operations. In particular, free cash flow indicates the amount of cash available after capital expenditures for, among other things, investments in the Company’s existing businesses, strategic acquisitions, repurchases of NCR stock and repayment of debt obligations. Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures, since there may be other non-discretionary expenditures that are not deducted from the measure. Free cash flow does not have a uniform definition
under GAAP, and therefore NCR’s definition may differ from other companies’ definitions of this measure. This non-GAAP measure should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, cash flows from operating activities under GAAP.
The table below reconciles net cash provided by operating activities to NCR’s non-GAAP measure of free cash flow for the six months ended June 30:
|
| | | | | | | |
| Six months ended June 30 |
In millions | 2018 | | 2017 |
Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 95 |
| | $ | 134 |
|
Expenditures for property, plant and equipment | (70 | ) | | (43 | ) |
Additions to capitalized software | (86 | ) | | (84 | ) |
Net cash used in discontinued operations | (11 | ) | | (5 | ) |
Free cash (outflow) flow (non-GAAP) | $ | (72 | ) | | $ | 2 |
|
The increase in expenditures for property, plant and equipment was primarily due to tenant improvements in our new world headquarters, which are partially reimbursed by the lessor and included in net cash provided by operating activities.
Financing activities and certain other investing activities are not included in our calculation of free cash flow. Other investing activities primarily include business acquisitions, divestitures and investments as well as proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment.
Our financing activities primarily include proceeds from employee stock plans, repurchases of NCR common stock and borrowings and repayments of credit facilities and notes. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we repurchased a total of $210 million and $350 million, respectively, of our common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, proceeds from employee stock plans were $11 million and $8 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we paid $29 million and $24 million, respectively, of tax withholding payments on behalf of employees for stock based awards that vested.
Long Term Borrowings As of June 30, 2018, our senior secured credit facility consisted of a term loan facility with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $776 million, and a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.1 billion, of which $50 million was outstanding. Additionally, the revolving credit facility has up to $400 million available to certain foreign subsidiaries. Loans under the revolving credit facility are available in U.S. Dollars, Euros and Pound Sterling. The revolving credit facility also allows a portion of the availability to be used for outstanding letters of credit, and as of June 30, 2018, there were no letters of credit outstanding. As of December 31, 2017, the outstanding principal balance of the term loan facility was $810 million and the outstanding balance on the revolving facility was zero.
As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had outstanding $700 million in aggregate principal balance of 6.375% senior unsecured notes due in 2023, $600 million in aggregate principal balance of 5.00% senior unsecured notes due in 2022, $500 million in aggregate principal balance of 4.625% senior unsecured notes due in 2021 and $400 million in aggregate principal balance of 5.875% senior unsecured notes due in 2021.
Our revolving trade receivables securitization facility provides the Company with up to $200 million in funding based on the availability of eligible receivables and other customary factors and conditions. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had $100 million and zero, respectively, outstanding under the facility.
Employee Benefit Plans In 2018, we expect to make contributions of $30 million to our international pension plans, $60 million to our postemployment plan and $2 million to our postretirement plan. For additional information, refer to Note 8. Employee Benefit Plans of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Transformation and Restructuring Initiatives We continue to evaluate and implement programs to prioritize driving margin improvement. In Services, our Mission One performance and profit improvement program is focused on transforming NCR's service margin profile through: i) productivity and efficiency improvements; ii) remote diagnostics and repair; iii) product life cycle management and iv) a higher mix of managed services. In Hardware, we are streamlining our manufacturing operations to help us reduce our exposure to variable hardware demand as well as increase global utilization rates and optimize our supply chain network. In addition to these initiatives, we are also in the process of transforming our organizational design, resources and software product portfolio. As we finalize and execute on these initiatives, NCR expects to incur a related pre-tax charge over the next two years in the range of approximately $200 million to $250 million, with $100 million to $150 million in 2018, that will be included in income from operations. The cash impact of these transformation initiatives is expected to be approximately $150 million to $200 million over the next two years, with $100 million in 2018. We plan to achieve run-rate savings of approximately $150
million per year by 2020. In the six months ended June 30, 2018, we incurred a $82 million pre-tax charge and $36 million of cash payments.
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock On December 4, 2015, NCR issued 820,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to certain entities affiliated with the Blackstone Group L.P. for an aggregate purchase price of $820 million, or $1,000 per share, pursuant to an Investment Agreement between the Company and Blackstone, dated November 11, 2015. In connection with the issuance of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company incurred direct and incremental expenses of $26 million. These direct and incremental expenses reduced the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and will be accreted through retained earnings as a deemed dividend from the date of issuance through the first possible known redemption date, March 16, 2024. Holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to a cumulative dividend at the rate of 5.5% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears. During the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company paid dividends-in-kind of $12 million and $11 million, respectively, associated with the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company paid dividends-in-kind of $23 million, respectively, associated with the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had accrued dividends of $3 million, respectively, associated with the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. There were no cash dividends declared during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 or 2017.
The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holders at any time into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $30.00 per share, or a conversion rate of 33.333 shares of common stock per share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the maximum number of common shares that could be required to be issued upon conversion of the outstanding shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was 28.2 million and 27.5 million, respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Held by Foreign Subsidiaries Cash and cash equivalents held by the Company's foreign subsidiaries at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were $336 million and $442 million, respectively. Under current tax laws and regulations, if cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments held outside the U.S. are distributed to the U.S. in the form of dividends or otherwise, we may be subject to additional U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding taxes, which could be significant.
Summary As of June 30, 2018, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $343 million and our total debt was $3.13 billion. As of June 30, 2018, our borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility was approximately $1.1 billion, and under our trade receivables securitization facility was $100 million. Our ability to generate positive cash flows from operations is dependent on general economic conditions, competitive pressures, and other business and risk factors described in Item 1A of Part I of the Company’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Item 1A of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, or otherwise comply with the terms of our credit facilities or senior unsecured notes, we may be required to seek additional financing alternatives.
We believe that we have sufficient liquidity based on our current cash position, cash flows from operations and existing financing to meet our required pension, postemployment, and postretirement plan contributions, remediation and other payments related to the Fox River and Kalamazoo River environmental matters, debt servicing obligations, and our operating requirements for the next twelve months.
Contractual and Other Commercial Commitments

Item 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Market Risk
We are exposed to market risks primarily from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. It is our policy to manage our foreign exchange exposure and debt structure in order to manage capital costs, control financial risks and maintain financial flexibility over the long term. In managing market risks, we employ derivatives according to documented policies and procedures, including foreign currency contracts and interest rate swaps. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
Foreign Exchange Risk
Since a substantial portion of our operations and revenue occur outside the United States, and in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, our results can be significantly impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We have exposure to approximately 50 functional currencies and are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk with respect to our sales, profits and assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Although we use financial instruments to hedge certain foreign currency risks, we are not fully protected against foreign currency fluctuations and our reported results of operations could be affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. To manage our exposures and mitigate the impact of currency fluctuations on the operations of our foreign subsidiaries, we hedge our main transactional exposures through the use of foreign exchange forward and option contracts. These foreign exchange contracts are designated as highly effective cash flow hedges. This is primarily done through the hedging of foreign currency denominated inter-company inventory purchases by the marketing units. All of these transactions are forecasted. We also use derivatives not designated as hedging instruments consisting primarily of forward contracts to hedge foreign currency denominated balance sheet exposures. For these derivatives we recognize gains and losses in the same period as the remeasurement losses and gains of the related foreign currency-denominated exposures.
We utilize non-exchange traded financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward and option contracts, that we purchase exclusively from highly rated financial institutions. We record these contracts on our balance sheet at fair market value based upon market price quotations from the financial institutions. We do not enter into non-exchange traded contracts that require the use of fair value estimation techniques, but if we did, they could have a material impact on our financial results.
For purposes of analyzing potential risk, we use sensitivity analysis to quantify potential impacts that market rate changes may have on the fair values of our hedge portfolio related to firmly committed or forecasted transactions. The sensitivity analysis represents the hypothetical changes in value of the hedge position and does not reflect the related gain or loss on the forecasted underlying transaction. A 10% appreciation or depreciation in the value of the U.S. Dollar against foreign currencies from the prevailing market rates would have resulted in a corresponding increase or decrease of $12 million as of June 30, 2018 in the fair value of the hedge portfolio. The Company expects that any increase or decrease in the fair value of the portfolio would be substantially offset by increases or decreases in the underlying exposures being hedged.
The U.S. Dollar was weaker in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017 based on comparable weighted averages for our functional currencies. This had an 1% impact on second quarter 2018 revenue versus second quarter 2017 revenue. This excludes the effects of our hedging activities and, therefore, does not reflect the actual impact of fluctuations in exchange rates on our operating income.
Interest Rate Risk
We are subject to interest rate risk principally in relation to variable-rate debt. Approximately 70% of our borrowings were on a fixed rate basis as of June 30, 2018. The increase in pre-tax interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in variable interest rates would be approximately $5 million.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
We are potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk on accounts receivable and financial instruments, such as hedging instruments and cash and cash equivalents. Credit risk includes the risk of nonperformance by counterparties. The maximum potential loss may exceed the amount recognized on the balance sheet. Exposure to credit risk is managed through credit approvals, credit limits, selecting major international financial institutions (as counterparties to hedging transactions) and monitoring procedures. Our business often involves large transactions with customers for which we do not require collateral. If one or more of those customers were to default in its obligations under applicable contractual arrangements, we could be exposed to potentially significant losses. Moreover, a prolonged downturn in the global economy could have an adverse impact on the ability of our customers to pay their obligations on a timely basis. We believe that the reserves for potential losses are adequate. As of June 30, 2018, we did not have any significant concentration of credit risk related to financial instruments.

Item 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
NCR has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act)) to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by NCR in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by NCR in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to NCR’s management, including its Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on their evaluation as of the end of the second quarter of 2018, conducted under their supervision and with the participation of management, the Company’s Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers have concluded that NCR’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to meet such objectives and that NCR’s disclosure controls and procedures adequately alert them on a timely basis to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in NCR’s Exchange Act filings.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Part II. Other Information
The information required by this item is included in Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this quarterly report and is incorporated herein by reference.
Part I, Item 1A ("Risk Factors") of the Company’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the 2017 Annual Report) includes a discussion of the risks and uncertainties related to our business. The information presented below updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors and information disclosed in the 2017 Annual Report. Except as presented below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors described in the 2017 Annual Report.
Operating Results Fluctuations. Our revenue, operating results, and margins could fluctuate for a number of reasons, including those described below:
Manufacturing. At December 31, 2017:
| |
• | we manufactured our ATMs in facilities located in Columbus, Georgia, USA; Manaus, Brazil; Budapest, Hungary; Beijing, China; and Chengalpattu, India; |
| |
• | our self-checkout solutions were manufactured in facilities located in Columbus, Georgia, USA and Budapest, Hungary; |
| |
• | our financial kiosk solutions were manufactured in facilities located in Beijing, China; Budapest, Hungary; Manaus, Brazil; and Chengalpattu, India; |
| |
• | our POS/Display terminals were manufactured in facilities located in Columbus, Georgia, USA; and Budapest, Hungary, and certain hand-held solutions were manufactured in Salzburg, Austria; and |
| |
• | we outsourced the manufacturing in all geographic regions of its payment solutions, some POS terminals, printers, bar code scanners and various other kiosks. |
On April 23, 2018, we announced our intention to streamline our manufacturing operations by closing two manufacturing plants in the Columbus, Georgia area and another in Beijing, China, and to move the manufacturing operations at those plants to other existing NCR facilities and to current third party suppliers. If we develop or experience problems relating to product quality or on-time delivery to customers that we are unable to quickly manage and resolve, whether due to the geographical diversity of our manufacturing base, the use of contract or outsourced manufacturing, or otherwise, we could experience business interruption that could negatively impact our business and operating results.
Reliance on Third Parties. If third party suppliers upon which we rely are not able to fulfill our needs, our ability to bring our products to market in a timely fashion could be affected. In most cases, there are a number of vendors providing the services and producing the parts and components that we utilize in or in connection with our products. However, there are some services and components that are licensed or purchased from single sources due to price, quality, technology, functionality or other reasons. For example, we depend on transaction processing services from Accenture, computer chips and microprocessors from Intel and operating systems from Microsoft. Certain parts and components used in the manufacturing of our ATMs and the delivery of many of our retail solutions are also supplied by single sources. In addition, there are a number of key suppliers for our businesses that provide us with critical products for our solutions. If we were unable to secure the necessary services, including contract manufacturing, parts, software, components or products from a particular vendor, and we had to find an alternative supplier, our new and existing product shipments and solution deliveries, or the provision of contracted services, could be delayed, impacting our business and operating results.
We have, from time to time, formed alliances with third parties that have complementary products, software, services and skills. These alliances represent many different types of relationships, such as outsourcing arrangements to manufacture hardware and subcontract agreements with third parties to perform services and provide products and software to our customers in connection with our solutions. For example, we rely on third parties for cash replenishment services for our ATM products. We also rely on Jabil Inc. to provide contract manufacturing services for our automated teller machines and self-service checkout solutions, primarily for our customers in the Americas. These alliances introduce risks that we cannot control, such as nonperformance by third parties and difficulties with or delays in integrating elements provided by third parties into our solutions. Lack of information technology
infrastructure, shortages in business capitalization, and manual processes and data integrity issues, particularly with smaller suppliers, can also create product time delays, inventory and invoicing problems, staging delays, as well as other operating issues. The failure of third parties to provide high-quality products or services that conform to required specifications or contractual arrangements could impair the delivery of our solutions on a timely basis, create exposure for non-compliance with our contractual commitments to our customers and impact our business and operating results. Also, some of these third parties have access to confidential NCR and customer data, the integrity and security of which are of significant importance to the Company.
Work Environment. Continuous improvement, customer experience, restructuring and cost reduction initiatives could negatively impact productivity and business results. In the past, we have undertaken restructuring plans, and, in addition, as part of our ongoing efforts to optimize our cost structure, from time to time, we shift and realign our internal organizational structure and resources. For example, on April 23, 2018, we announced our intention to streamline our manufacturing operations by closing two manufacturing plants in the Columbus, Georgia area and another in Beijing, China, and to move the manufacturing operations at those plants to other existing NCR facilities and to current third party suppliers. These activities could temporarily result in reduced productivity levels. If we are not able to timely execute on these initiatives, or if the costs to complete these initiatives is higher than anticipated, our results of operations or financial condition could be adversely affected. In addition to these initiatives, we have initiatives to grow and expand our software business, streamline our services business, enable our sales force to better sell our solutions, invest in our software and cloud solutions and improve the experience of our customers. We typically have many such initiatives underway. If we are not successful in implementing and managing these various initiatives and minimizing any resulting loss in productivity, we may not be able to achieve targeted cost savings or productivity gains, and our business and operating results could be negatively impacted.
On January 8, 2018, we opened our new world headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, and are in the process of relocating our headquarters operations to this facility. From time to time we may undertake similar projects with respect to our office, manufacturing or other facilities. Implementation of relocation plans such as these could result in business disruption due to a lack of business continuity, which, among other things, could have a negative impact on our productivity and business and operating results.
If we do not retain key employees, or attract quality new and replacement employees, we may not be able to meet our business objectives. Our employees are vital to our success, including the successful transformation of the Company into a software and solutions driven business. Therefore, our ability to retain our key business leaders and our highly skilled software development, technical, sales, consulting and other key personnel, including key personnel of acquired businesses, is critical. These key employees may decide to leave NCR for other opportunities, or may be unavailable for health or other reasons. In addition, as our business model evolves, we may need to attract employees with different skill sets, experience and attributes to support that evolution. If we are unable to retain our key personnel, or we are unable to attract highly qualified new and replacement employees by offering competitive compensation, secure work environments and leadership opportunities now and in the future, our business and operating results could be negatively impacted. In addition, a failure to ensure the effective and timely transfer of knowledge and a smooth transition of key employees, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, could hinder business continuity, personnel retention and operational execution, which, among other things, could have a negative impact on our productivity and business and operating results. Uncertainties or delays associated with the transition of key business leaders could also cause fluctuation in our stock price.
Our ability to effectively manage our business could be negatively impacted if we do not invest in and maintain reliable technology infrastructure and information systems. It is periodically necessary to add to, replace, upgrade or modify our technology infrastructure and internal information systems. If we are unable to expand, replace, upgrade or modify such systems in a timely and cost-effective manner, especially in light of demands on our information technology resources, our ability to capture and process financial transactions and, therefore, our financial condition, results of operations, or ability to comply with legal and regulatory reporting obligations, may be negatively impacted.

Plans and Programs
On October 19, 2016, the Board approved a share repurchase program, with no expiration from the date of authorization, for the systematic repurchase of the Company’s common stock to offset the dilutive effects of the Company’s employee stock purchase plan, equity awards and in-kind dividends on the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Availability under this program accrues quarterly based on the average value of dilutive issuances during the quarter.
On March 12, 2017, the Board approved a second share repurchase program that provides for the repurchase of up to $300 million of the Company’s common stock. On July 25, 2018, the Board authorized an incremental $200 million of share repurchases under this program.
As of June 30, 2018, $90 million was available for repurchases under the March 2017 program, and approximately $272 million was available for repurchases under the October 2016 dilution offset program. The timing and amount of repurchases under these programs depend upon market conditions and may be made from time to time in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated stock repurchase programs, issuer self-tender offers or otherwise. The repurchases will be made in compliance with applicable securities laws and may be discontinued at any time.
The Company’s ability to repurchase its common stock is restricted under the Company’s senior secured credit facility and terms of the indentures for the Company’s senior unsecured notes, which prohibit certain share repurchases, including during the occurrence of an event of default, and establish limits on the amount that the Company is permitted to allocate to share repurchases and other restricted payments. The limitations are calculated using formulas based generally on 50% of the Company’s consolidated net income for the period beginning in the third quarter of 2012 through the end of the most recently ended fiscal quarter, subject to certain other adjustments and deductions, with certain prescribed minimums. These formulas are described in greater detail in the Company’s senior secured credit facility and the indentures for the Company’s senior unsecured notes, each of which is filed with the SEC.

General Terms and Conditions
| |
1. | Appointment of Supplier |
| |
1.1 | Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Customer appoints Supplier, and Supplier accepts appointment, as a non-exclusive manufacturer, assembler and supplier of Customer’s products described in more detail in the “Statement of Work - Manufacturing Services and Specifications” Exhibit (the “Products”) to Customer pursuant to Customer’s specifications, and for the ultimate benefit of customers of Customer (“End Users”), for the initial term stated on the Cover Page. The Services shall include Supplier’s obligations to procure components, materials, equipment and other supplies and to manufacture, assemble, and test, the Products. The initial term of this Agreement shall start as of the Effective Date and end on the End Date, and will automatically renew thereafter for one (1) year terms, unless NCR provides written notice of its intent to not to renew the term no less than ninety (90) days prior to the end of the then current term (the initial term and each renewal term, collectively known as the “Term”). Unless expressly set forth on “Statement of Work - Manufacturing Services and Specifications” Exhibit, nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted as a commitment by Customer to purchase any minimum volume or dollar amount of Products from Supplier. |
| |
1.2 | At all times during the Term, Supplier shall occupy and maintain facilities both in compliance with all Legal Requirements (as defined in Section 14.1) and adequate to produce the Products for sale and delivery to Customer and to perform its other obligations under this Agreement. |
| |
1.3 | Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Customer hereby grants Supplier a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable, limited license during the Term to internally use, at Supplier’s places of business, all of Customer’s patents, Customer Supplied Software (as described in Exhibit 16), Trade Secrets and other Intellectual Property solely to perform the Services. |
| |
1.4 | Supplier represents that the terms, benefits and warranties, as well as the prices provided to Customer under this Agreement are [*****] offered by Supplier to any commercial customer who has purchased the same or comparable Products. |
| |
1.5 | Supplier shall be fully and primarily responsible for all obligations, and any breach thereof, of its Affiliates who provide Services or otherwise act under this Agreement. |
| |
2.1 | In accordance with this Agreement, Customer will from time to time issue one or more purchase orders for Products (“Purchase Order”) to Supplier using Customer’s standard form of purchase order in accordance with the lead times set forth in “Statement of Work - Manufacturing Services and Specifications” Exhibit or any other written agreement between the Parties. Supplier may reject any non-conforming Purchase Order by delivering a rejection notice to Customer within two (2) business days after receipt of the Purchase Order. Otherwise, the Purchase Order will be deemed accepted by Supplier. Purchase Orders are deemed conforming (and may not be rejected by Supplier) if (i) the delivery dates are within agreed lead times, (ii) the quantity is within the limits set forth in the Forecast or within the quantity flexibility limits described below and (ii) the Product Prices matches the agreed prices |
| |
2.2 | Customer will have quantity flexibility on delivery schedule within its Purchase Orders in the percentages set forth below. Customer may pull in or push out a shipment date for a part of a Purchase Order only within the limits set forth below. For Customer’s reschedule request outside the bands set below, the Parties will agree upon any additional costs. Customer and Supplier will agree on semi-variable costs associated with downside requests outside of the flexibility window. For the avoidance of doubt this Section 2.2 applies to Products which have continuous and ongoing demand under normal forecasting conditions. |

[*****] [*****] [*****]
[*****] [*****] [*****]

The flexibility above is subject to material availability in the market place at time of the increased requirement and Customer will be responsible for the reasonable, actual, out-of-pocket material premiums and reasonable, actual, out-of-pocket expedited freight costs associated with any upside requests, including those within the flexibility window (but above Forecast).
Customer shall have the right to amend the Purchase Order to delay Product shipment dates or quantity of Product to avoid or reduce the necessity to purchase Material at a premium or pay for expedited freight costs. Supplier will add, at no additional cost to Customer, additional labor and other resources such as non-specific capital equipment to accommodate the upside request. All flexibility Product deliveries will be subject to lead time verification on both specific and non-specific capital equipment.
Supplier will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to mitigate any additional costs and accommodate upside and downside requests as described above. Before charging a premium or other fee associated with a flexibility action outside of the parameters above, Supplier will obtain Customer’s prior approval.
| |
2.3 | Supplier shall manufacture and deliver Products to Customer as ordered by Customer in accordance with this Agreement. Supplier will provide Customer with summaries of Product purchases for Product tracking, in a format and with a frequency reasonably requested by Customer. |
| |
2.4 | During the Term, Supplier will maintain an inventory of Materials, and packaging materials satisfactory to Customer and adequate to supply Products to Customer, without delay, to the extent it does not exceed [*****], Days of Supply (“DOS”) as determined in accordance with in Exhibit 14; provided, however, that the Parties may from time to time agree upon a different DOS inventory level to be maintained by Supplier, which shall thereafter be the then current DOS inventory level and the applicable Target DOS for purposes of Exhibit 14. In addition, Customer may require Supplier to maintain an amount of safety stock for specific Materials. The estimated quantities of Products provided in the Forecasts are made by Customer based on Customer’s projected orders. Supplier acknowledges that the actual quantities and order patterns may vary and may not be evenly distributed throughout the Term. Subject to Section 2.5, Supplier agrees to use its best available knowledge, in order to ascertain the levels at which such inventory shall from time to time be maintained. |
| |
2.4.1 | During the first twelve (12) months from the Effective Date, inventory deposit will be calculated using [*****] DOS. For avoidance of doubt, for purposes of Exhibit 14 inventory includes finished goods Products, work in progress material and Materials on hand and in transit, as long as Supplier holds financial ownership. |
| |
2.5 | Customer will provide Supplier rolling twelve (12) month stock level parameters for the Products and packaging materials on a monthly basis (“Forecasts”) throughout the Term. Supplier will use the Forecasts for managing the production, inventory and distribution level of the relevant Products and packaging and, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any inventory acquired by the Supplier without Customer authorization in excess of the specified levels in the Forecasts is the sole responsibility of Supplier with the exception of the minimum order quantity and standard pack quantity for each Material. The Parties will agree upon a maximum lead-time (Purchase Order receipt to ship date) for each Product. Supplier shall satisfy the required production quantity within the established lead times subject to material availability and the flexibility parameters as specified in this Agreement. Supplier will immediately advise Customer if it cannot comply with any lead- |

NCR and Jabil Confidential

time. Supplier will provide to Customer a copy of Supplier’s manufacturing calendar for the current year and next year which presents all known/planned holiday and factory shutdowns.
| |
2.6 | Materials Procurement. Supplier will order materials based on vendor quoted lead-times plus five (5) business days for purchase order placement and material receipt process time. |
| |
2.6.1 | Customer will commit, as described in this Section, to all Material relating to the 12 month Forecast subject to the lead-time requirements in section 2.6. Supplier agrees to supply Customer with a list of Materials including what items it deems to be long-lead material constituting greater than six (6) month lead times (“Long-Lead Material”) and their respective line item costs before making any purchases. Supplier agrees that any Long-Lead Materials purchases made by Supplier shall not exceed the minimum amount of Long-Lead Material needed to fulfill the Forecast considering the applicable lead times for such items. Customer agrees that Supplier will place orders with vendors to standard pack quantities and minimum order quantities as defined by such vendors which may exceed Customer’s forecasted demand. If the Material that has been purchased in accordance with this Section 2.6 has not been consumed by a Purchase Order prior to the discontinuance of the relevant Product or termination of this Agreement, Customer will purchase the Material at a price equal to the actual and direct cost of such items. |
| |
2.6.2 | Customer shall purchase on a quarterly basis all Obsolete Material from Supplier at its actual and direct cost. “Obsolete Material” shall mean Material, sub-assemblies or final Product(s) that do not have demand in the 12-month Forecasts. Excess Material shall be managed through an inventory deposit agreement as described in Exhibit 14, not to exceed the maximum warehouse space agreed by Parties. “Excess Material” means Material, work in progress (“WIP”) or Product(s) in Supplier’s inventory for more than [*****] and which were ordered, purchased or manufactured based on a Forecast or Purchase Orders or other written instruction by Customer to Supplier. |
| |
2.6.3 | For the purposes of this clause: i) “NCR Unique” means Materials designed, manufactured and sold only to, or as designated by, Customer; and ii) “Opened or NCNR Materials” means Materials that Supplier has on hand that are NCR Unique and which are already in the Supplier’s possession and are non-returnable because they have been removed from packaging or were ordered under non-cancellable or non-refundable orders. Supplier shall on a monthly basis provide Customer with a list of all Excess Material. Customer shall direct Supplier to either retain the Excess Materials in inventory or use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to assist Customer in minimizing Customers liability by taking the following steps: |
| |
2.6.3.1 | As soon as is commercially practical reduce or cancel orders to the extent contractually permitted; |
| |
2.6.3.2 | Return all Materials to the extent contractually permitted; |
| |
2.6.3.3 | Make all Commercially Reasonable Efforts to sell Materials other than NCR Unique to third parties or Supplier’s other customers; and |
| |
2.6.3.4 | Assist Customer to determine whether current work in progress should be completed, scrapped or shipped "as is." |
| |
3. | Third Party Contracts - Compliance, Substitutions and Additions |
| |
3.1 | Supplier agrees to purchase all raw materials, components and parts for the manufacture of the Products in accordance with Customer’s approved vendor’s list set forth in the “Approved Vendors” Exhibit and to the extent applicable pursuant to the designated Third Party Contracts (“Materials”). Any use by Supplier of any Materials, goods, parts or services provided by approved vendors and/or under designated Third Party Contracts shall be limited to fulfilling the requirements of this Agreement. To use other vendors of Materials and services, Supplier must obtain Customer’s prior written consent, which consent shall normally be provided within sixty (60) days and, in any event, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Supplier will provide Customer reasonably sufficient |

information, subject to confidentiality obligations, to assess the benefits of procuring Materials and services under agreements between Supplier and Third Parties (including Customer receiving the benefit of Supplier’s most favorable Third Party vendor arrangements and obtaining favorable pricing by aggregating volumes of Supplier, Customer, Customer Group and other of Supplier’s clients). Supplier’s use of such agreements shall be conditioned on and subject to (i) Supplier complying with the terms and conditions of such agreements; (ii) unless prohibited by the applicable Third Party vendor agreement and at all times subject to confidentiality requirements between Supplier and its vendors, [*****]; and iii) Supplier retaining responsibility for curing any breaches of such agreements.

19.3.1 | An indemnified Party under this Section 19 shall promptly notify the indemnifying Party of any Claim with respect to which it seeks indemnity under this Section 19.

If it so elects within a reasonable time after receipt of such notice, an indemnifying Party may, except as provided in the immediately following sentence and the last sentence of this paragraph, assume the defense of such Claim, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified Party to represent the indemnified Party and any others the indemnifying Party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expense of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified Party unless (i) the indemnifying Party and the indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named Parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying Party and the indemnified Party and representation of both Parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is agreed that the indemnifying Party shall not, in respect of the legal expense of any indemnified Party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified Parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. The indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify the indemnified Party from and against any Loss by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified Party (i) if such settlement involves any form of relief other than the payment of money or any finding or admission of any violation of any law, regulation or order or any of the rights of any person or has any adverse effect on any other Claims that have been or may be made against the indemnified Party, or (ii) if such settlement involves only the payment of money, unless it includes an unconditional release of such indemnified Party of all liability on claims that are the subject of such proceeding. An indemnified Party may assume control of the defense of any Claim if (i) it irrevocably waives its right to indemnity under this Section 19, or (ii) without prejudice to its full right to indemnity under this Section 19 (A) the indemnifying Party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the indemnified Party of its financial capacity to defend or provide indemnification with respect to such Claim, (B) the indemnified Party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable likelihood that a Claim would materially and adversely affect it or any other indemnitees other than as a result of monetary damages that would be fully reimbursed by an indemnifying Party under the Agreement, or (C) the indemnifying Party refuses or fails to timely assume the defense of such Claim. |
| |
19.3.2 | An indemnifying Party required to provide an indemnity to an indemnified Party under this Section 19 shall have no obligation for any Claim under this Section if: (i) the indemnified Party fails to notify the indemnifying Party of such Claim as provided above, but only to the extent that the defense of such Claim is prejudiced by such failure; (ii) the indemnified Party fails to tender control of the defense of such Claim to the indemnifying Party as provided in |
22
NCR and Jabil Confidential

The Change Control Process covers activities from receipt of a request for a Change to assessment, scheduling, implementation and, finally, post-implementation review. The Change Control Process will produce approval or other action with respect to any proposed Change. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Agreement and subject to Customer agreeing to pay for such changes and modifications in accordance with the Agreement, Supplier shall promptly agree to make and make each of the changes and/or modifications to its performance and/or delivery of the Service requested by Customer in order to comply with Section 17.6 of the Agreement.

In each such event, Supplier shall promptly (but in no event longer than twenty-four (24) hours after the decision to make such change), notify Customer, orally and in writing, of such change, the time and date on which such change was implemented and the reasons(s) for such changes.

INVENTORY DEPOSIT AGREEMENT
Inventory: Jabil has modeled and will maintain inventory levels on the NCR account at [*****] or less. Should NCR’s business requirements and/or demand changes drive inventory levels that exceed [*****] of supply (“DOS”), any excess inventory over that calculated amount will be offset by an Inventory Balance Deposit. How to manage defined below:
Days of Supply (DOS): total days of adjusted inventory on hand as defined by the DOS calculation. DOS shall be determined by dividing the total month ending inventory less any balance deposit monies by [*****] MRP (as defined below) multiplied by two for annual usage and divided by 365 for average daily forecast inventory requirements.
Target DOS: [*****]
Parameters:
IOH – Total Inventory day 1 of the second month of the calendar quarter (Feb 1, May 1, Aug 1, Nov1)
DEP – Balance of any deposit made by Customer during the previous adjustment
[*****]
MRP- Forecasted 3 month demand (M1 + M2 + M3)
Calculation: [*****]
Example 1:
Month end Jabil owned inventory (IOH): February 1 = $4,000,000
Balance deposit (DEP): $250,000
[*****]
MRP demand per NCR’s ROP forecast February + March + April = $6,300,000
DOS = [*****]

2. FORECASTS, AND ORDERS
2.1 Forecast. NCR will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Supplier on monthly basis with an estimate of anticipated requirements for Supplier’s Hardware by providing a 9 to 12 month rolling forecast. Such forecasts (“Forecasts”) and any other estimates provided to Supplier by NCR are for planning purposes only and may not in any way be construed as an order or binding purchase commitment or representation of NCR. Supplier will use commercially reasonable efforts to plan and align resources required to meet the Forecast. Supplier will provide NCR with notice of inability to meet a Forecast in writing as soon as Supplier becomes aware of any such inability. On a monthly basis, NCR commits to purchase Excess Material from the Supplier, provided that NCR’s obligation to purchase Excess Material shall not exceed the amount of Excess Material needed to fulfill NCR’s Forecast also considering the applicable lead times for such Parts. NCR has the option to buy-back the Excess Material or pay inventory carrying cost (at [*****]) for the next [*****] and NCR has to buy-back the material at the end of the that [*****] period. “Excess Material” means Parts that have been in Supplier’s inventory for more than [*****] which were purchased or manufactured by the Supplier based on NCR’s Forecasts.
2.2 Ordering. NCR may place purchase orders for Products (“Order(s)”) with Supplier in accordance with lead time as set forth in Schedule B. NCR will have no obligation to purchase any Products hereunder until an Order for Products has been placed with Supplier. Supplier may reject any Order by delivering a rejection notice to NCR within five (5) business days after receipt of the Order. Otherwise, the Order will be deemed accepted by Supplier. Orders are deemed conforming (and may not be rejected by Supplier) if a) the delivery dates are based on agreed lead times, and b) the quantity is within the limits set forth in the Forecast or within the quantity flexibility limits described below, and c) Orders are based on the price agreed by the parties. Where the Order is for EOL (as defined in Section 2.6 below) Parts or consigned Parts, for which Parts are available to Supplier on commercially reasonable terms, Supplier will accept the Order and fulfill NCR’s Requirements in a timely fashion.
2.2.1 NCR will have quantity flexibility on delivery schedule within its Orders in the percentages set forth below. NCR may pull in or push out a shipment date for a part of an Order only within the limits set forth below. For NCR’s reschedule request outside the bands set below, the parties will agree any additional costs. For the avoidance of doubt this section 2.2.1 applies to Hardware which has continuous and ongoing demand under normal forecasting conditions.
Days Before Shipment
[*****] [*****] [*****]
[*****] [*****] [*****]
[*****] [*****] [*****]
[*****] [*****] [*****]
Supplier will use commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate upside and downside requests in excess of the percentages indicated above. Before charging a premium or other fee associated with a flexibility action outside of the parameters above, Supplier will notify NCR in writing, and NCR may accept the premium or fee or the excess Hardware will be subject to standard lead time. If downside quantity can’t be consumed, USI will report to NCR for NCR’s assistance.
2.2.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2, for any Part having an unusually long lead time, the parties may agree on quantities that Supplier will stock and NCR’s liability for Parts required to fulfill NCR’s Orders. Such agreement may be evidenced by emails, provided that the agreement by both parties is clear. The initial list of long lead time components, if any, is attached on Schedule F.
2.2.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, NCR will have no liability to Supplier for (i) Products that fail to comply with the warranties on delivery or (ii) Product that are reused or resold by Supplier.
2.3 Cancellation. NCR may cancel any Order in whole or in part at its convenience. Supplier will raise with NCR any concerns it has in relation to excess stock exposure. Upon cancellation, NCR is liable for any finished goods in the Order cancelled. In addition, NCR accepts liability for work in process, Parts, and materials to meet the Order subject to the following:
(i) Supplier will use commercially reasonable efforts to assist NCR in minimizing NCR's liability by taking the following steps:
| |
a) | As soon as is commercially practical reduce or cancel material orders to the extent contractually permitted; |
| |
b) | Return all components and materials to the extent contractually permitted; |
| |
c) | Make all commercially reasonable efforts to sell components and materials to third parties and other Supplier customers; |
d)Assist NCR to determine whether current work in progress should be completed, scrapped or shipped "as is"; and
(ii) NCR will use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Supplier in minimizing Supplier's liability.
2.4 Rescheduling Orders. NCR may reschedule an Order from its originally scheduled ship date provided that the rescheduled shipment date will in no event be later than two (2) months past the initial shipment date and the reschedule quantity is within the flexibility parameters stated above in Section 2.2.1, unless agreed otherwise. Once the said two months period expires, NCR shall agree to Supplier’s arrangement for immediate shipment of the rescheduled Order. If NCR subsequently cancels a rescheduled Order, the provision of Section 2.3 will apply.
2.5 Supplier may not ship a partial quantity of a particular Order of Products without NCR’s prior approval.
2.6 EOL. NCR will notify Supplier that a Product will reach an End-of-Life (EOL) status. NCR will provide Supplier with a last-buy order on such EOL Product to meet NCR’s final requirements, with delivery not to exceed six (6) months from the date of the last-buy Order. Supplier will make best efforts to mitigate the potential liability of NCR through reselling material and consuming common parts, and NCR, in this
case, will have full liability for said inventories of materials and parts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Supplier shall adhere to its obligations in relation to Exhibit D (Services)
3. PRICE AND PAYMENT
3.1 Prices. Initial pricing is set out in Schedule B of this Agreement, as applicable. Pricing can only be changed with the mutual agreement of Supplier and NCR. Any price changes agreed from time to time by Supplier and NCR will become effective with receipt of the applicable Product on or after the date of Supplier’s acceptance of the first Order that includes new pricing. Upon mutual agreement, Supplier will accommodate any such change in price on open Orders (reflecting the older price) by issuing a respective credit or debit for remaining open balances. The credit or debit will be for the difference between the agreed new price and the older price shown on the Order.
EXAMPLE:
If an open Order reflects 100 pieces of a Product at the last price of $10 each for a total amount of $1000 and a new price of $9 each has been agreed between the date of the Order and the issuance of the invoice, then Supplier’s invoice will show a credit, as follows or similar language.
PO# ________ for 100 units of part xxx-xxxx @ $ 10 $ 1000.00
Price reduction credit - 100 units @ $ 1 (100.00)
Total Due $ 900.00
3.2 Most Favored Customer. Supplier represents that the terms, benefits and warranties, as well as the prices provided to NCR under this Agreement are [*****] offered by Supplier to any commercial customer who has purchased the same or comparable products under similar (not exact) conditions and in similar (not exact) quantities.
3.3 Cost Reductions. Supplier will continue throughout the Term of this Agreement to use its best efforts to reduce costs for all Products and for Product support, including by meeting the cost reduction goals as set forth in Schedule E.
3.4 Taxes. Product prices are exclusive of all taxes, including country, state or local sales, use, property, excise, value added or similar taxes that may be levied as a result of sale or delivery of any Product under this Agreement. Supplier will charge such taxes separately on its invoices on all sales for which NCR has not provided valid exemption documentation. Supplier will be responsible for all taxes based upon its personal property ownership and income.
3.5 Invoicing. Supplier will invoice NCR promptly upon shipment of Products, but in no event later than 3 calendar days following such time. Supplier will submit electronic invoices through EDI, NCR’s “iSupplier Portal”, or as otherwise directed by NCR. When invoices for Products ordered by NCR Global Solutions Limited for delivery to the NCR site are submitted to NCR via the iSupplier portal or via EDI or NCR's scanning centre in India, Supplier will also send a hard copy of each invoice to NCR’s accounts
payable department of the Site that raised the Order if requested by NCR via e-mail. Payment of such invoices is subject to receipt by NCR of a hard copy. In the event that Supplier is hereafter authorized by NCR in writing to submit paper invoices in lieu of electronic invoices, Supplier will ensure that all paper invoices are addressed to the specified NCR individual. Supplier's invoices will (a) contain only 1 part number per line item on each invoice, (b) only reference 1 purchase order per invoice, and (c) contain the following minimum information: (i) NCR's Purchase Order number; (ii) NCR's product I.D., part number or other relevant number; (iii) an item description of the materials shipped; (iv) the quantity of items shipped; (v) the unit and extended price applicable thereto; and (vi) Supplier’s serial number, if applicable.

Unless otherwise provided in a SMI, or in 4.3 below, all Products purchased under this Agreement will be shipped FCA USI Factory location (as specified in the applicable Order) (Incoterms 2010) (“Delivery”) and pursuant to any further instructions contained in the NCR Supplier Guide (see Schedule C). Title, risk of loss and damage will pass from Supplier to NCR upon Delivery by Supplier to NCR. Supplier will provide to NCR, prior to the first Delivery of any Product, and thereafter annually, a certificate of origin stating the country of origin for the Product upon NCR’s request. If the country of origin for any Product changes, Supplier will provide an updated certificate of origin before any Delivery of a changed Product.
4.3 Late Deliveries. Without prejudice to any other rights and remedies available to NCR, Supplier will notify the applicable NCR Buyer promptly upon the Supplier having reasonable belief that an agreed upon committed ship date (“CSD”) will not be met. If Product (conforming to the Specifications and all quality and other requirements herein) is not delivered by the CSD due to any reason attributable to Supplier, (except for the reason caused by EOL parts), Supplier will (a) ship by air freight or other mode specified by NCR, at Supplier's expense; and (b) will reimburse or credit NCR for [*****]. For the avoidance of doubt, any missed CSD’s more than [*****] based on agreed lead times, except caused by Force Majeure, that are caused by Supplier will entitle NCR to terminate all outstanding Orders of respective Product without any liability whatsoever.

7.3.1 | The following definitions will apply to this Section 7.3: |
“Field Retrofit Order” or “FRO” means the detailed plan which is established by NCR and implemented for the purpose of remedying an Epidemic Failure or a safety/ hazard situation, including at end-user sites, in plants and in warehouses, if applicable. The plan generally will include a process and repair method for deploying and implementing the repair and or replacement of all affected Products in the Lot(s) and the estimated costs to deploy the fix dependent on the quantity of affected Product.
“Epidemic Failure” means the failure, arising from a single root cause and displaying a same failure symptom, (i) which is at [*****] of the Products in any Lot and (ii) which defect is attributable solely to Supplier and/or its vendors, excluding any and all failures caused by Parts supplied to USI by Tier 2 Suppliers for Manufactured Products. The failure rate will be established from mutually agreed-upon records which may include data supplied by NCR’s distributors, resellers, subcontractors or customers.
“Lot” means a specific quantity of Product that (i) is produced under uniform conditions and series of operations, or (ii) has the risk of being affected by a common root cause of failure which is attributable to Supplier and/or its vendors.

ATTACHMENT G1
STANDARDS, DOCUMENTS, RECEIPT COMPUTERS, THIRD PARTY NETWORKS, NCR INTERNET FILE TRANSFER, AND SECURITY PROCEDURES
Here is the list of standards that NCR’s EDI currently uses
There are more standards that can be supported by NCR’s EDI but are not currently being used.
The preferred standards for exchange between Supplier (Trading Partner) and NCR Corporation will be V/R 4010 of the ANSI X.12 unless otherwise specified by the NCR system interface. Supplier’s VAN is __________NA________. The ANSI version will also be determined by the NCR system interface.
This includes the transaction sets outlined in part B of this Attachment, data dictionary, segment dictionary, and transmission controls.
The parties recognize the need to remain current with the standards and will in good faith, where commercially practicable, support the latest released standards.
All Orders for delivery will be transmitted by EDI to _https://edihub.ncr.com:5580/as2____ facilities based in ________NA_________.
The table below shows a typical supplier implementation with NCR’s preferred standard and version i.e.) ANSI X12 and version 4010. NCR’s EDI is not limited to the following transaction sets, there are more Documents in the same and other standards (outlined in Part A) that are supported.
|
| | | |
Transaction Set Number | Document Name | Inbound or Outbound (NCR’s Perspective) | Type of Acknowledgment Required |

DELJIT | Delivery Just in time message | Outbound | CONTRL |
DELFOR | Delivery Forecast | Outbound | CONTRL |
Attached sheet contains all the transactions that are currently used by NCR
C. DATA TRANSFER
These are the data transfer mode that are prevailing in NCR, they are listed in order of their preference:
| |
1.) | NCR INTERNET FILE TRANSFER |
| |
2.) | HTTP/HTTPS OVER THE INTERNET |
| |
4.) | THIRD PARTY NETWORKS - VAN |
| |
1.) | NCR INTERNET FILE TRANSFER (Preferred Mode) |
NCR has the ability to send EDI files via an internal process, Customer Transfer Services, to a secured NCR server that resides outside NCR’s firewall. Each supplier has specific directory/sub-directories on this server that can only be accessed by an NCR assigned login and password. NCR would send Supplier files that would be placed in a "rcv" sub-directory under a main edi directory. Supplier’s process would need to pick up those files and then remove them from the "rcv" sub-directory. Supplier would then place its outbound files in the "snd" sub-directory. NCR’s process would pick up those files and remove them from the "snd" sub-directory. To initiate this process, EDI requests the required login and directory setups from the Customer Transfer Service team and once those are completed, testing can begin.
The section below provides additional detail. Questions can be addressed to our EDI mailbox:
mailto:ES200015@exchange.DAYTONOH.NCR.com ; EI230091@ncr.com
Additional setup information
Use the following name for FTP or SFTP connectivity: (Contact File Transfer Services for information)
A login and password will be provided to Supplier once NCR’s setups have been completed.
Under Supplier’s login directory, there will be an "edi" sub-directory. Under the "edi" directory there will be three sub-directories: "wrk", "snd" and "rcv".
If Supplier is picking up files from NCR’s system, Supplier will find them in the "rcv" directory.
For sending files to NCR, Supplier’s process must use one of the following two methods:
| |
METHOD 1. | Copy the file(s) to the "edi/wrk" directory, 'chmod' to 644, then move the file(s) to the "edi/snd" directory |
| |
METHOD 2. | Copy the file to the "edi/snd" directory with a .wrk extension and then remove the .wrk extension when the file copy has completed. NCR does not pickup files with .wrk extensions. This ensures that NCR’s file transfer service will not pick up incomplete files. |
| |
2.) | HTTP/HTTPS OVER THE INTERNET |
NCR can also send/receive files with the suppliers servers using HTTP over the internet. Supplier should have the capability to send and receive data using HTTP. Each party will maintain the security of the data over the internet by using certificate based authentication and encryption. Suppliers need to allow some fixed NCR server IPs in their firewall and same will be done in the NCR’s firewall for the supplier’s predefined servers.
To communicate with NCR using AS2 the supplier need to have AS2 capability. Each party will maintain the security of the data over the internet by using certificate based authentication and encryption. Suppliers need to allow some fixed NCR server IPs in their firewall and same will be done in the NCR’s firewall for the supplier’s predefined servers.
| |
4.) | THIRD PARTY NETWORKS - VAN |
1. Identities of Networks. Each party will maintain with a third party data communications network, an electronic mailbox to which EDI messages may be sent. Each party will give the other at least thirty (30) days advance written notice before changing its Network
NCR’s Networks Your Network: NA
Global Exchange Services – GXS (Preferred VAN)
Sterling Information Broker - Comment
2. Expenses. Each party will be responsible for its own costs of maintaining its electronic mailbox, including any minimum use charges. Charges by a Network for network usage, data translation, formatting, archiving, and similar services will be borne by the party requesting them. If the parties employ the same Network, the sender of a message will pay all sending-related charges imposed by the Network, and the recipient will pay all receiving-related charges. If the parties employ different Networks, each will be responsible for the charges of its own Network
D. LEAN EDI CONCEPTS AND GUIDELINES
Redundancy, reoccurring cost, bulky standards, expensive communication modes, primitive implementations etc. are few areas that can be targeted for improvements in any EDI system. Substantial monthly savings can be achieved for the company and its trading partners by taking the right measures to identify and eradicate these “wastes”. Attached document highlight some of these wastes and guidelines to reduce them.
Content of the attached document are up to the discretion of the reader, and are not mandatory to be followed to setup EDI with NCR. The document is an effort by NCR to establish such EDI practices so that NCR and its trading partners
can mutually be benefited by regulating the reoccurring expenses and can jointly attain new maturity levels in the EDI implementations.
E. SUPPLIER NETWORKS
NCR currently has accounts with two such networks
| |
1.1. | Ariba supplier Network. |
| |
1.2. | Hubwoo supplier Network. |
F. RECEIPT COMPUTERS: The parties will identify the receipt computers to each other sufficiently in advance of starting EDI transactions.
G. SECURITY PROCEDURES. To be set by Mutual Agreement.

2.7 At NCR’s request, to the extent permitted by Privacy Laws, you will immediately cause any objectionable, unskilled, or unfit personnel to be removed from performing the Services.
2.8 You will (a) impose on any Affiliates and subcontractors the same obligations that are imposed on you in this Exhibit and the Agreement, including confidentiality obligations, and (b) ensure that NCR has the right to directly enforce the terms of this Exhibit and the Agreement against any such Affiliate or subcontractor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you will remain solely responsible to NCR for the proper performance of the subcontracted Processing functions as if such functions were performed by you.
2.9 You will comply with the attached Appendix 1: EU Standard Contractual Clauses and Appendix 2: Swiss Standard Contractual Clauses (collectively, the “Clauses”) with respect to Personal Information originating in either the European Union or Switzerland (as the case may be) that is transferred to any Supplier location outside of the European Economic Area to jurisdictions whose laws have not been deemed adequate by the European Commission,
unless (and only to the extent) that the Supplier (or an Affiliate of supplier) has certified to another lawful transfer mechanism, such as the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework, in which case that framework shall control. To the extent there is any conflict with the terms of this Exhibits or the Agreement and the Clauses, the Clauses will control).

3. Sub-processing. You have provided to NCR a current list your sub-processors (including locations) for the Services in the attached Appendix 4: Approved Sub-Processor List. You will provide NCR with updates to the Sub-Processor List prior to authorizing any new sub-processor(s); if NCR has a reasonable basis to object to your use of a new sub-processor, then NCR will notify you in writing within 10 business days after receipt of your notice. If NCR objects to any new sub-processor(s), then you will use reasonable efforts either to make available to NCR a change in the affected Services or to recommend a commercially reasonable change to NCR’s configuration or use of the affected Services to avoid processing of Personal Information of EU Residents or Personal Information originating in Israel by the objected-to new sub-processor without unreasonably burdening NCR or end users. If you are unable to make available such change or recommendation to NCR within 60 days after your receipt of NCR’s notice objecting to the new Sub-processor(s), then per Section 6 in this Exhibit, NCR may terminate the affected Services or the Agreement without further obligation to you, and NCR will receive a refund of any prepaid unused fees for the Services.
4. Security Incidents.
4.1 A “Security Incident” is any inappropriate or unauthorized access to, or destruction, loss, alteration, disclosure or acquisition of NCR Data. You will notify NCR within 24 hours of your discovery of a Security Incident by calling your NCR point of contact and by concurrently sending written notice to law.notices@ncr.com. A Security Incident will be deemed discovered by you on the first day it is either known to you or your Affiliate or subcontractors. Failure to exercise reasonable due diligence which contributes to a delay in the discovery of any Security Incident shall be deemed a material breach.
4.2 To the extent known at the time of your report, your Security Incident notification to NCR will include: (a) information about the types of NCR Data is affected as a result of the Security Incident disclosed, accessed, destroyed, lost, altered, or acquired; (b) a brief description of what happened, including the date the Security Incident occurred and the date on which the Security Incident was discovered and, if known, the root cause of the Security Incident; (c) if the Security Incident involved Personal Information, the identification of each individual whose Personal Information has been, or is reasonably believed to have been, accidentally or unlawfully destroyed, lost, altered, disclosed or accessed without authorization during the time in question and the steps individuals should take to protect themselves from potential harm resulting from the Security Incident; (d) a brief description of what you are doing to investigate the Security Incident, to mitigate losses, and to protect against any further Security Incidents of similar origin; (e) contact procedures for NCR, its customer(s) or prospect(s), and/or individuals for questions or to learn additional information about the Security Incident, which will include a toll-free telephone number, email address, website, or postal address; (f) any other available information that must be provided to individuals, customers, prospects or regulators as required (at a minimum) by Privacy Laws; and (g) any other information reasonably requested by NCR. To the extent that the foregoing information is not available at the time you provide your notification to NCR required by this Section, you will provide such information to NCR as soon as it becomes available, and in all cases within the timeframes as required (at a minimum) by the Privacy Laws.
4.3 You will promptly take all actions to mitigate, at your sole cost, any harmful effect of a Security Incident. You will investigate and remedy the Security Incident; provide all information reasonably requested by NCR about the Security Incident; and will, at no cost to NCR, take, or cause to be taken, all actions reasonably directed NCR security personnel. You will maintain, and will cause any third party that Processes Personal Information to maintain, records of any known or suspected Security Incidents pertaining to the Personal Information in accordance with all Privacy Laws and commercially accepted industry practices, and will make such records, or will cause them to be made, reasonably available to NCR upon request.
4.4 You will immediately develop and provide to NCR, or cause to be developed and provided to NCR, a plan to cure any deficiency which led to the Security Incident to a level deemed necessary to prevent another Security
Incident of similar origin. NCR will review the plan, and if approved, you will implement, or cause to be implemented, the plan within a mutually agreed-upon time frame at no cost to NCR. If NCR determines that the deficiency cannot be reasonably cured, NCR may, pursuant to Section 5 in this Exhibit, terminate the affected Services, or the Agreement, without further obligation to you and you will provide a refund to NCR for any Services for which NCR has paid but will not have received by the termination date.
5. Security Review and Audit.
5.1 You will promptly respond to inquiries from NCR related to your information security program and practices and your compliance with any Legal Requirement and NCR’s Supplier Information Security Standards, as may be necessitated by NCR from time to time to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of NCR Data.
5.2 You will, permit NCR, on reasonable notice, to have a qualified independent third party conduct testing of your information security controls during the test window identified by NCR in its notice; such testing may include (1) a SOC 2 type II audit, (2) a network Penetration Test, and (3) an application Penetration Test. NCR will provide to you, at a minimum, an overview of the testing conducted, containing the scope, methodology and summary of findings of third party testing promptly upon your request. “Penetration Test” means a test manually validated by qualified staff to determine whether and how a malicious user can gain unauthorized access to assets that affect the fundamental security of a system or files and must confirm that applicable controls to prevent such unauthorized access are in place. If the testing indicates that your information security controls do not materially comply with the requirements of this Exhibit, all Privacy Laws or the NCR Supplier Information Security Standards, you will pay for the cost of the testing; otherwise NCR will pay for the cost of the testing itself.
5.3 You will allow, at any time while this Exhibit is in effect and upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours and with each party bearing its own expense, NCR’s internal and external auditors, accountants, or any regulator with jurisdiction over the NCR Data, or the designee of such regulator (collectively, “Auditors”) to examine: (a) any third party test of your information security controls; (b) the adequacy of the control environments related to the Services; (c) the performance of your obligations under this Exhibit, including those related to any Privacy Laws and NCR’s Supplier Information Security Standards; and (d) any facilities in which NCR Data is processed. You will provide reasonable assistance in such an examination. If NCR Data has been disclosed to any Sub-processor for Processing, then you will ensure that the Auditors are permitted to conduct examinations of such Sub-processors as described in this Section 4 in this Exhibit to the same extent as they would be permitted to provide examinations required of you as set forth herein.
5.4 If the review or examination indicates that the performance of your obligations does not materially comply with the obligations of this Exhibit, all Privacy Laws or the NCR Supplier Information Security Standards, then you will immediately develop and provide to NCR a plan to improve the deficient performance to the level deemed acceptable by such an examination. NCR will review the plan, and if approved, then you will implement the plan within a mutually agreed-upon time frame at no cost to NCR. If NCR determines that the issues cannot be reasonably mitigated, then NCR may, per Section 5 in this Exhibit, terminate the affected Services, or the Agreement, without further obligation to you. In either case, you will reimburse NCR for reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the audit.
6. Termination Due to Breach of Exhibit.
6.1 If NCR becomes aware of a breach of a material term of this Addendum, then NCR will provide you with written notice of such breach in sufficient detail to enable you to understand the specific nature of the breach. At its option, NCR will either (a) provide you with the opportunity to cure the breach within a reasonable time, and terminate the affected Services or the Agreement without further obligation to you if you do not cure the breach within the time specified by NCR; or (b) immediately terminate the affected Services or the Agreement without further obligation to you if, in NCR’s sole discretion, the breach cannot be cured. In either case, you will refund all fees for Services not yet delivered or performed by the termination date to the extent NCR has paid for such Services in advance.
6.2 Upon the earlier of (i) NCR’s request, (ii) termination of the business need to retain NCR Data, or (iii) termination of the Services or the Agreement, at NCR’s option you will return to NCR or destroy all NCR Data in your possession as a result of the Agreement, and retain no copies if it is feasible to do so (and you will also require your subcontractors to do the same for any NCR Data in their possession). All destruction of NCR Data will be performed in accordance with procedures at least as stringent as the purge requirements described in NIST Special Publication 800-88. You will certify to NCR that NCR Data has been destroyed in accordance with these requirements. If return or destruction is infeasible, then you will extend all protections, limitations and restrictions contained in this Exhibit to your Processing of any retained NCR Data, and limit further uses and/or disclosures to the purposes that
make the return or destruction of the NCR Data infeasible (and you will also require your subcontractors to do the same for any NCR Data in their possession). This Section 6 in this Exhibit will survive the termination or expiration of this Exhibit and the Agreement.
7. Miscellaneous.
7.1 Interpretation. Unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, the terms of this Exhibit will control in the case of any conflict with the terms of the Agreement.
7.2 Indemnification. You will defend, indemnify and hold harmless NCR, its Affiliates, distributors, resellers, customers, end users, employees, directors, and contractors for any actual or threatened claims, suits, costs (including attorneys’ fees), fines, penalties, losses or damages caused by, related to, or arising out of your acts or omissions, or the acts or omissions of your Affiliates, subcontractors or by anyone directly or indirectly employed by you or by them in connection with your obligations under this Exhibit. Your indemnification is not subject to any limitation of liability provision contained in the Agreement.
7.3 Construction. Any provision which is required to be made part of this Exhibit or the Agreement by virtue of any Privacy Law is incorporated herein by reference. This Exhibit and the Agreement will be construed in a manner that most favorably facilitates NCR’s compliance with all Privacy Laws.

| |
(b) | ‘data exporter’ means the controller who transfers the personal data; |
| |
(c) | ‘data importer’ means the processor who agrees to receive from the data exporter personal data intended for processing on his behalf after the transfer in accordance with his instructions and the terms of the Clauses and who is not subject to a third country’s system ensuring adequate protection within the meaning of Article 25(1) of the Directive; EN L 39/10 Official Journal of the European Union 12.2.2010; |
| |
(d) | ‘sub-processor’ means any processor engaged by the data importer or by any other sub-processor of the data importer who agrees to receive from the data importer or from any other sub-processor of the data importer personal data exclusively intended for processing activities to be carried out on behalf of the data exporter after the transfer in accordance with his instructions, the terms of the Clauses and the terms of the written subcontract; |
| |
(e) | ‘applicable data protection law’ means the legislation protecting the fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals and, in particular, their right to privacy with respect to the processing of personal data applicable to a data controller in the Member State in which the data exporter is established; |
| |
(f) | ‘technical and organisational security measures’ means those measures aimed at protecting personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access, in particular where the processing involves the transmission of data over a network, and against all other unlawful forms of processing. |

| |
1. | The data exporter agrees to deposit a copy of this contract with the supervisory authority if it so requests or if such deposit is required under the applicable data protection law. |
| |
2. | The parties agree that the supervisory authority has the right to conduct an audit of the data importer, and of any sub-processor, which has the same scope and is subject to the same conditions as would apply to an audit of the data exporter under the applicable data protection law. |
| |
3. | The data importer shall promptly inform the data exporter about the existence of legislation applicable to it or any sub-processor preventing the conduct of an audit of the data importer, or any sub-processor, pursuant to paragraph 2. In such a case the data exporter shall be entitled to take the measures foreseen in Clause 5(b). |
Clause 9 Governing law. The Clauses shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established.

1. | The data importer shall not subcontract any of its processing operations performed on behalf of the data exporter under the Clauses without the prior written consent of the data exporter. Where data importer subcontracts its obligations under the Clauses, with the consent of the data exporter, it shall do so only by way of a written agreement with the sub-processor which imposes the same obligations on the sub-processor as are imposed on the data importer under the Clauses. Where the sub-processor fails to fulfill its data protection obligations under such written agreement the data importer shall remain fully liable to the data exporter for the performance of the sub-processor’s obligations under such agreement. |
| |
2. | The prior written contract between the data importer and the sub-processor shall also provide for a third-party beneficiary clause as laid down in Clause 3 for cases where the data subject is not able to bring the claim for compensation referred to in paragraph 1 of Clause 6 against the data exporter or the data importer because they have factually disappeared or have ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent and no successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter or data importer by contract or by operation of law. Such third-party liability of the sub-processor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses. |
| |
3. | The provisions relating to data protection aspects for sub-processing of the contract referred to in paragraph 1 shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established. |
| |
4. | The data exporter shall keep a list of sub-processing agreements concluded under the Clauses and notified by the data importer pursuant to Clause 5(j), which shall be updated at least once a year. The list shall be available to the data exporter’s data protection supervisory authority. |
Clause 12 Obligation after the termination of personal data-processing services.
| |
1. | The parties agree that on the termination of the provision of data-processing services, the data importer and the sub-processor shall, at the choice of the data exporter, return all the personal data transferred and the copies thereof to the data exporter or shall destroy all the personal data and certify to the data exporter that it has done so, unless legislation imposed upon the data importer prevents it from returning or destroying all or part of the personal data transferred. In that case, the data importer warrants that it will guarantee the confidentiality of the personal data transferred and will not actively process the personal data transferred anymore. |
| |
2. | The data importer and the sub-processor warrant that upon request of the data exporter and/or of the supervisory authority, it will submit its data-processing facilities for an audit of the measures referred to in paragraph 1. |

APPENDIX 1: STANDARD CONTRACTUAL CLAUSES (PROCESSORS)
Attachment 2 to the Standard Contractual Clauses (Processors)
This Attachment 2 forms part of the Standard Contractual Clauses (Processors) to which it is attached.
FOR SUPPLIER: Below is a sample information security overview; if you do not maintain a standard overview that can be inserted here, then please customize below as applicable.
Data Importer Information Security Overview: This information security overview applies to Data importer’s corporate controls for safeguarding personal data which is processed by data importer and transferred by data importer amongst its Affiliates and subcontractors. Data importer’s information security program enables its personnel, including the personnel of its Affiliates and sub-processors, to understand their responsibilities.
Security Practices: Data importer has implemented corporate information security practices and standards that are designed to safeguard Data importer’s corporate environment and to address: (1) information security; (2) system and asset management; (3) development; and (4) governance. These practices and standards are approved by Data importer executive management and undergo an annual formal review.
Organizational Security: It is the responsibility of the Data importer’s personnel, including the personnel of its Affiliates and sub-processors to comply with these practices and standards. To facilitate the corporate adherence to these practices and standards, the information security function provides:
| |
1. | Strategy and compliance with policies/standards and regulations, awareness and education, risk assessments and management, contract security requirements management, application and infrastructure consulting, assurance testing and drives the security direction of the company. |
| |
2. | Security testing, design and implementation of security solutions to enable security controls adoption across the environment. |
| |
3. | Security operations of implemented security solutions, the environment and assets, and manage incident response. |
| |
4. | Forensic investigations with security operations, legal, data protection and human resources for investigations including eDiscovery and eForensics. |
Asset Classification and Control: Data importer’s practice is to track and manage physical and logical assets. Examples of the assets that data importer IT might track include:
| |
• | Information assets, such as identified databases, disaster recovery plans, business continuity plans, data classification, archived information. |
| |
• | Software assets, such as identified applications and system software. |
| |
• | Physical assets, such as identified servers, desktops/laptops, backup/archival tapes, printers and communications equipment. |
The assets are classified based on business criticality to determine confidentiality requirements. Industry guidance for handling personal data provides the framework for technical, organizational and physical safeguards. These may include controls such as access management, encryption, logging and monitoring, and data destruction.
Personnel Security: As part of the employment process, employees undergo a screening process applicable per regional law. Data importer’s annual compliance training includes a requirement for employees to complete an online course and pass an assessment covering information security and data privacy. The security awareness program may also provide materials specific to certain job functions.
Physical and Environmental Security: Data importer uses a number of technological and operational approaches in its physical security program in regards to risk mitigation. Their security team works closely with each site to determine appropriate measures are in place and continually monitor any changes to the physical infrastructure, business, and known threats. They also monitor best practice measures used by others in the industry and carefully select approaches that meet both uniqueness’s in business practice and expectations of data importer as a whole. Data importer balances its approach towards security by considering elements of control that include architecture, operations, and systems.
Communications and Operations Management: The IT organization manages changes to the corporate infrastructure, systems and applications through a centralized change management program, which may include, testing, business impact analysis and management approval were appropriate. Incident response procedures exist for security and data protection incidents, which may include incident analysis, containment, response, remediation, reporting and the return to normal operations. To protect against malicious use of assets and malicious software, additional controls may be implemented based on risk. Such controls may include, but are not limited to, information security policies and standards, restricted access, designated development and test environments, virus detection on servers, desktop and notebooks; virus email attachment scanning; system compliance scans, intrusion prevention monitoring and response, logging and alerting on key events, information handling procedures based on data type, e-commerce application and network security, and system and application vulnerability scanning.
Access Controls: Access to corporate systems is restricted, based on procedures to ensure appropriate approvals. To reduce the risk of misuse, intentional or otherwise, access is provided based on segregation of duties and least privileges. Remote access and wireless computing capabilities are restricted and require that both user and system safeguards are in place. Specific event logs from key devices and systems are centrally collected and reported on an exceptions basis to enable incident response and forensic investigations.
System Development and Maintenance: Publicly released third party vulnerabilities are reviewed for applicability in the data importer environment. Based on risk to data importer’s business and customers, there are pre-determined timeframes for remediation. In addition, vulnerability scanning and assessments are performed on new and key applications and the infrastructure based on risk. Code reviews and scanners are used in the development environment prior to production to proactively detect coding vulnerabilities based on risk. These processes enable proactive identification of vulnerabilities as well as compliance.
Compliance: The information security, legal, privacy and compliance departments work to identify regional laws, regulations applicable to data importer corporate. These requirements cover areas such as, intellectual property of the company and our customers, software licenses, protection of employee and customer personal information, data protection and data handling procedures, trans-border data transmission, financial and operational procedures, regulatory export controls around technology, and forensic requirements. Mechanisms such as the information security program, the executive privacy council, internal and external audits/assessments, internal and external legal counsel consultation, internal controls assessment, internal penetration testing and vulnerability assessments, contract management, security awareness, security consulting, policy exception reviews and risk management combine to drive compliance with these requirements.

| |
1. | The data importer shall not subcontract any of its processing operations performed on behalf of the data exporter under the Clauses without the prior written consent of the data exporter. Where the data importer subcontracts its obligations under the Clauses, with the consent of the data exporter, it shall do so only by way of a written agreement with the subprocessor which imposes the same obligations on the subprocessor as are imposed on the data importer under the Clauses. Where the subprocessor fails to fulfil its data protection obligations under such written agreement the data importer shall remain fully liable to the data exporter for the performance of the subprocessor's obligations under such agreement. |
| |
2. | The prior written contract between the data importer and the subprocessor shall also provide for a third-party beneficiary clause as laid down in Clause 3 for cases where the data subject is not able to bring the claim for compensation referred to in paragraph 1 of Clause 6 against the data exporter or the data importer because they have factually disappeared or have ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent and no successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter or data importer by contract or by operation of law. Such third-party liability of the subprocessor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses. |
| |

You have been awarded the above number of NCR Corporation (“NCR”) Time-Based Restricted Stock Units (the “Stock Units”) under the NCR Corporation 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), subject to the terms and conditions of this 2018 Director Restricted Stock Unit Grant Statement (this “Statement”), the Plan and the NCR Director Compensation Program (the "Program").
| |
1. | The Stock Units will vest during the one (1) year period beginning on the date upon which you were granted the Stock Units (the “Grant Date”), in four (4) equal quarterly installments commencing three (3) months after the Grant Date, provided that you continuously serve as a Director of NCR through each quarterly vesting date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Grant Date of your Stock Units is the date of an Annual Meeting of Stockholders, then, the fourth quarterly vesting will occur only if you continue to serve as a Director through the earlier of (a) the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders following the Grant Date, or (b) the first (1st) anniversary of the Grant Date. |
| |
2. | The Stock Units will become fully vested in the event of your death should that occur while you are serving as a Director of NCR at any time prior to the one (1) year anniversary of the Grant Date. |
| |
3. | The vesting schedule will accelerate and the Stock Units will become fully vested if (1) a Change in Control (as defined in Section 10(b) of the Plan) occurs, and (2) you cease to serve as a Director of NCR within twenty-four (24) months of the effective date of the Change in Control for any reason other than your willful illegal conduct or your gross misconduct, as determined by the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire membership of the Board of Directors of NCR. In the event that Stock Units become vested due to your cessation of service as a Director of NCR pursuant to this Section 3, to the extent required to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), such Stock Units shall be paid upon your "separation from service" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code; provided, however, that if you are a "specified employee" as determined under NCR's policy for determining specified employees on the date of separation from service, such Stock Units shall be paid, to the extent required to comply with Section 409A of the Code, on the first business |
day after the date that is six months following your "separation from service" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.
| |
4. | Except as otherwise provided pursuant to (1) a deferral election in effect under Article IV of the Program or (2) Section 3 of this Statement, when vested the Stock Units will be paid to you in shares of NCR common stock, such that one Stock Unit equals one share of NCR common stock. |
| |
5. | Any cash dividends declared before the vesting dates on the shares underlying the Stock Units will not be paid currently, but will be converted to additional Stock Units, based on the fair market value of NCR common stock on the date the dividend is declared. Any Stock Units resulting from such conversion will be considered Stock Units for purposes of this Statement and will be subject to all of the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth herein. |
| |
6. | You may designate one or more beneficiaries to receive all or part of any shares underlying the Stock Units to be distributed in case of your death, and you may change or revoke such designation at any time. In the event of your death, any shares underlying the Stock Units distributable hereunder that are subject to such a designation will be distributed to such beneficiary or beneficiaries in accordance with this Statement. Any other shares underlying the Stock Units not designated by you will be distributable to your estate. If there shall be any question as to the legal right of any beneficiary to receive a distribution hereunder, the shares underlying the Stock Units in question may be transferred to your estate, in which event NCR will have no further liability to anyone with respect to such shares. |
| |
7. | The terms of this award of Stock Units as evidenced by this Statement may be amended by the NCR Board of Directors or the Compensation and Human Resource Committee of the NCR Board of Directors, provided that no such amendment shall impair your rights hereunder without your consent. |
| |
8. | In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of this Statement and the terms and conditions of the Plan, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail. |

In connection with your termination due to disability, you hereby resign, effective as of the Separation Date, from all positions you hold with NCR, including each of its subsidiaries and affiliates, and the Board of Directors of NCR, and agree to execute such documents as NCR shall reasonably request to evidence the same. At the next regular payroll date following your Separation Date, NCR will pay you for any earned but unpaid base salary. NCR will pay you accrued vacation and unreimbursed expenses in accordance with NCR policies. |
| |
(2) | Subject to you (x) signing this 4/30/18 Letter Agreement, (y) executing the release attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Release”) following, but not later than the sixtieth day following, the Separation Date, and (z) not revoking such Release in accordance with its terms following its execution and delivery, (a) your outstanding, unvested equity awards granted prior to calendar year 2018 and set forth on Exhibit B hereto shall vest and be settled in accordance with their terms, and (b) your outstanding balance under the NCR Corporation 2011 Economic Profit Plan shall vest and shall be paid out in accordance with its terms as a Disability termination. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2 and Section 3 of this 4/30/18 Letter Agreement, upon the termination of your employment, you shall forfeit all unvested NCR equity awards and you shall not be entitled to any other severance. Your vested options shall continue to be exercisable in accordance with their terms as provided for in the case of a disability termination. You shall retain your rights in all vested welfare (including long term disability) and pension plans and your rights to indemnification and director and officers liability insurance coverage. |
| |
(3) | NCR confirms its commitments to you pursuant to the Letter Agreement between you and NCR dated March 11, 2015 (the “3/11/15 Letter Agreement”) and further confirms that, should you |
predecease your spouse, your spouse shall have the right to the coverages described in the 3/11/15 Letter Agreement on substantially the same basis (at single coverage rates) as though you did not predecease your spouse.
| |
(4) | You acknowledge and agree that, except as provided in the immediately succeeding sentence, the following sections of the 7/29/05 Letter Agreement shall remain in effect in accordance with their terms: “Non-Competition,” “Non-Solicitation/Non-Hire,” and “Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure,” (collectively, the “Restrictive Covenants”) and “Breach of Restrictive Covenants.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the 7/29/05 Letter Agreement, for purposes of the “Non-Competition” section of the 7/29/05 Letter Agreement, “Competing Organization” means any organization listed on Exhibit C hereto, as well as any subsidiaries of such companies that become stand-alone companies as a result of a spin-off, IPO or similar restructuring transaction. |
| |
(5) | You shall be promptly appointed as Chairman Emeritus of NCR Corporation and you may thereafter serve as such at your election. |
| |
(6) | Following the Separation Date, you agree to provide consulting services to NCR on the following terms: |
| |
(a) | Term. You shall render the Consulting Services (as defined below) to NCR, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 6, during the period beginning on the Separation Date and ending on the two-year anniversary of the Separation Date (the “Term”); provided, that the Term and the Consulting Services shall terminate prior to the two-year anniversary of the Separation Date (i) upon your death or physical or mental incapacity rendering you incapable of providing the Consulting Services; (ii) at the election of NCR, upon your material breach of your obligations under this Consulting Agreement; or (iii) by mutual consent of both parties. |
| |
(b) | Consulting Services. You agree that during the Term you shall assist with the transition of your duties as Chief Executive Officer of NCR to your successor, including with respect to customer and employee relations, and in all events as reasonably requested by NCR (together, the “Consulting Services”). During the Term, you will be reasonably available for the purpose of rendering (and to the extent requested shall provide), for up to fifteen hours per calendar quarter during the first year of the Term and up to ten hours per calendar quarter during the second year of the Term. The parties recognize that your expected services after the Separation Date will be less than twenty percent (20%) of your average 36-month prior month service to NCR and you will, therefor, have a separation from service (within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A) on the Separation Date. |
| |
(c) | Consulting Fees. The Company shall pay you at the rate of $150,000 per year during the first year of the Term and at a rate of $100,000 per year during the second year of the term, in monthly installments, payable on the first business day of each month during the Term.

| |
(d) | Independent Contractor. You understand that your relationship with NCR during the Term shall be that of an independent contractor and during the Term you shall not be considered an employee of NCR for tax purposes or for any other purposes whatsoever. You specifically understand and agree that during the Term you will not be entitled to, nor be eligible to participate in, any benefits or privileges offered or given by NCR or any of its affiliates to their respective employees as a result of the relationship established by this Section 6.

The seven-day period of revocation shall commence upon the Execution Date. In order to revoke this agreement, the Executive shall deliver to NCR, prior to the expiration of said seven-day period, a written notice of revocation, addressed to NCR’s General Counsel at 864 Spring Street NW, Atlanta GA 30308, with an electronic mail copy to edward.gallagher@ncr.com.

| |
5. | It is the intention of the parties hereto that the provisions of this Agreement shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under all applicable laws and public policies, but that the unenforceability or the modification to conform with such laws or public policies of any provision hereof shall not render unenforceable or impair the remainder of the Agreement. Accordingly, if any provision shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable either in whole or in part, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to delete or modify as necessary the invalid or unenforceable provisions to alter the balance of this Agreement in order to render the same valid and enforceable. |

Personal & Confidential
Mr. Paul E. Langenbahn
1705 Rock Dove Circle
Colleyville, TX 76034
Dear Paul,
On behalf of NCR and our Board of Directors, I am very pleased to communicate your promotion to Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer (COO) at a very exciting time for NCR as we continue to strengthen and evolve our position as the Global Leader in Omni-Channel and Consumer Transaction Technology.
This Letter Agreement outlines the various compensation, benefits and other actions related to your promotion.
Employer (Legal Entity):
NCR Corporation (the “Company”)
Position:
Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, effective as of March 22, 2018.
Job Grade:
This position is a Grade 24
Reporting To:
Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
Business Unit:
NCR Chief Operating Officer (COO) Organization
Office Location:
Fort Worth, Texas (Trinity) Office. NCR will pay all expenses and costs associated with your travel to and from Texas to NCR’s offices in accordance with the Company’s then current expense reimbursement policy, which may change from time to time. To the extent that some or all of such reimbursements are deemed to be compensatory under IRS rules, you will be responsible for any taxes or other withholding associated with such compensation. NCR reserves the right to change the office location associated with this position.
Effective Date:
Your promotion and all related actions are effective as of March 22, 2018, unless noted otherwise.
Base Salary:
Your annual base salary will increase to US $700,000 effective as of March 26, 2018.
Management Incentive Plan:
You will continue to participate in NCR's Management Incentive Plan (“MIP”) subject to the terms of the Plan. The Plan is an annual bonus program with a payout that varies based on NCR's results, your organization's results, and your individual performance; it is payable in the first calendar quarter following the plan year.
Effective March 22, 2018, your MIP target incentive opportunity will increase to 115% of your annual base salary (with a maximum potential payout equal to 3 times your target incentive opportunity), where the payout will be based on your COO organization’s achievement of its annual “Core Financial Measures” and certain MBOs that will be established for you each year.
You will also continue to participate in the Customer Success component of the MIP, representing a target incentive opportunity equal to 10% of your annual base salary (with a maximum potential payout equal to 10% of your annual base salary, which thus operates as a “make or miss” opportunity), where the payout will be linked to NCR’s overall achievement of our annual Customer Loyalty goals.
Please note that the MIP and its guidelines are subject to change from time to time, which will be determined at the discretion of the Compensation and Human Resource Committee of the NCR Board of Directors (hereinafter, the “Committee”). You must be employed by NCR at the time of payment in order to be eligible to receive any bonus or incentive payout from NCR.
Long Term Incentive (LTI) Equity Awards:
Subject to your acceptance of this Letter Agreement and approval by the Committee, in connection with this promotion you will receive a Promotional LTI Equity Award with a total value equal to US $1,500,000, to be delivered in the form of NCR’s Performance-Vesting Restricted Stock Units (or PV-RSUs), where the payout will be determined based on a “make- or-miss” performance goal for the 2018 performance year as established by the Committee.
The effective date of your Promotional LTI Equity Award will be May 1, 2018 (the “Grant Date”) and it will vest evenly over three (3) years, provided that the performance goal is achieved, such that one-third (1/3) of your earned Promotional LTI Equity Award will vest on each anniversary of the Grant Date. You
must electronically accept the award agreement associated with the award to receive its benefits. The equity award agreement contains terms and conditions with respect to vesting and other matters, and you should consult it to understand those terms; additional provisions that relate to your equity awards, and potential prorated vesting of them, are contained in the below section of this Letter Agreement entitled “Special CEO Succession Transition Provision.”
Beyond 2018 you will also be eligible to participate in NCR’s Annual LTI Equity Award Program that typically occurs in February each year, subject to Committee approval.
Executive Severance Plan Benefits:
As EVP & COO you will continue to participate in NCR’s Executive Severance Plan (“ESP”), as may be amended from time to time. The severance plan provides certain benefits in the event your employment is involuntarily terminated by NCR other than for “Cause” (as defined in the ESP).
In the event of a qualified termination of employment entitling you to benefits under the ESP, pursuant to the ESP as it is in force today you will receive a cash severance payment equal to one (1.0) times the sum of your annual base salary and target bonus (as defined in the ESP), payment of COBRA premiums for up to eighteen (18) months after the termination date, and Executive Outplacement Services for a period of one year after the termination date. Pro-rated vesting of outstanding unvested equity awards, if and as applicable, will be subject to the terms of the associated grant agreements and plans in connection with such a termination. These severance benefits will be provided to you under the terms of the ESP, which is subject to amendment or termination by NCR in accordance with the ESP terms.
Change-In-Control Severance Plan:
As EVP & COO you will also continue to participate in NCR’s Change in Control Severance Plan (the “CIC Plan”), as may be amended from time to time, and you are assigned a “Tier I” benefit level under the terms of the CIC Plan. See the CIC Plan for a description of its terms.
Special CEO Succession Transition Provision:
As Bill Nuti has retired and the NCR Board of Directors announced on April 30, 2018 the hiring of a new CEO, NCR will provide you the following special provisions related to your appointment as EVP & COO that will afford you certain additional protection in connection with the CEO transition.
Effective as of the date of this Letter Agreement, you have the right to resign from NCR voluntarily for “Succession Good Reason” (as defined below), to be exercised within ninety (90) days following an event giving rise to Succession Good Reason as set out below, at any time until April 30, 2020. In connection with a Succession Good Reason resignation, under this Letter Agreement you will be entitled to receive all of the benefits that would be provided under the ESP as if your employment had been involuntarily terminated by NCR other than for “Cause” (as defined in the ESP).
For avoidance of doubt, you will not be entitled to duplicate severance benefits in the event you are eligible for either or both (I) (a) the ESP benefits and/or (b) CIC Plan benefits on its or their own terms, and (II) the Succession Good Reason resignation benefits created under this Letter Agreement; in such instance you will be limited to the greater or greatest of the benefits provided by any of the two or, as applicable, three plans.
In the event of a resignation by you for Succession Good Reason, you will also be entitled to receive “prorated vesting” (as such provision is defined in each corresponding NCR LTI Equity Award Agreement) in any unvested and outstanding NCR LTI Equity Awards you may have at the time and in the same manner as if your employment had been involuntarily terminated by NCR other than for “Cause.”
“Succession Good Reason” for purposes of this Letter Agreement shall be defined as: (i) any diminishment in your title where you are no longer serving as Chief Operating Officer of NCR or, (ii) material diminishment of your authority or responsibilities, (iii) any reduction in your then current annual base salary or annual bonus target (except for any reduction in bonus targets applied generally to NCR executives), or (iv) any material breach of this Letter Agreement by the Company, which remains uncured, if curable, after more than thirty (30) days after your providing written notice of such breach to the Company to the attention of the CEO and General Counsel.
Release:
To receive any severance benefits from NCR, whether under this Letter Agreement in connection with Succession Good Reason or otherwise, you must execute a general release of all claims in a form acceptable to NCR, which shall be no less favorable to you than the form attached as Exhibit B to the CIC Severance Plan.
Executive Medical and Financial Planning Programs:
As EVP & COO you will also continue to be eligible to participate in NCR’s annual Executive Medical Exam Program and annual Executive Financial Planning Program.
The Executive Medical Exam Program currently provides up to US $5,000 on an annual basis for progressive, diagnostic analysis by NCR’s provider of choice. The Executive Financial Planning Program currently provides for a reimbursement of up to US $12,000 of expenses incurred annually for an executive’s individual financial planning needs. Each of these programs is subject to amendment or termination by the Committee.
Vacation/Holidays:
Under NCR's vacation policy you will continue to be entitled to receive paid vacation days and holidays. Eligible vacation is based on grade level or years of NCR service, whichever provides the greater benefit. You understand that unused vacation days are forfeited in accordance with NCR policy.
NCR also provides six (6) Floating Holidays, which can be used at any time during the year while recognizing customer and business needs.
Additionally, NCR recognizes the following six (6) days as paid holidays: New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.
Other Terms and Conditions of Employment:
This Letter Agreement is contingent upon your agreement to certain restrictive convents concerning non-competition, non-customer-solicitation and non-recruitment/hiring, where such provisions are enforceable
by law. These restrictive covenants are outlined in your Promotional LTI Equity Award Agreement which will be provided to you on the Fidelity website. If you fail to accept that award agreement (which is capable of acceptance electronically), within 60 days of the award, the promises NCR has made in this Letter Agreement shall automatically become null and void, without further action or notice by NCR.
All questions concerning the construction, enforceability, or interpretation of this Letter Agreement are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Texas, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law rules that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction other than the state of Texas; for avoidance of doubt, the governing law of any other agreement between you and NCR or any benefits plan governing benefits or compensation payable to you, including but not limited to your equity agreements (including but not limited to the equity agreement for the promotional award referenced above), the MIP, the ESP, and the CIC Plan, and any agreement containing restrictive covenants such as confidentiality, trade secret protection, non-competition, non-solicitation and non-recruitment, shall not be modified, and the governing law applicable to all of the foregoing agreements or plans shall remain unchanged. In the event of any disputes arising out of or relating to this Letter Agreement, or any other aspect of your NCR employment, such disputes shall be submitted to binding arbitration, and the provisions of the dispute resolution and arbitration section of the equity award agreement referenced above are incorporated here by reference (or, if you do not accept that agreement’s terms, then the dispute resolution and arbitration section of the most recent equity award agreement the terms of which you did accept electronically).
This letter supersedes and completely replaces any prior oral or written communication concerning the subject matter addressed in this Letter Agreement. Except as set out in this Letter Agreement, to the extent there is any conflict between the terms of this Letter Agreement and any other written agreement between NCR and you, the terms of this Letter Agreement shall control. For avoidance of doubt, none of the other agreements or plans referenced in this Letter Agreement (such as the MIP, CIC Plan, ESP, LTI Plan or others) are modified, changed or amended, whether expressly or by implication, but NCR acknowledges that the benefits created by the Special CEO Succession Transition Provision herein create an additional opportunity to receive the equivalent of ESP benefits not otherwise available under the ESP, and that they create additional benefits with respect to prorated vesting of LTI equity awards. This letter is not an employment contract, and should not be construed or interpreted as containing any guarantee of continued employment or employment for a specific term.
* * * * * *
Paul, we are very excited about the contributions, experience and knowledge you can bring to NCR. We have assembled some of the best professionals in the industry and are convinced that your expertise will help us further enhance the Company’s reputation and help NCR complete the transformation needed to deliver on our Vision 2020 strategy.
If you have any questions about this Letter Agreement or wish to discuss the role further, please do not hesitate to contact a senior executive at any time so you can make an informed decision about your exciting new role as EVP and COO for NCR.
Sincerely,
NCR Corporation

Dear Mark,
| |
(1) | This letter agreement (this “Letter Agreement”) confirms the agreement between NCR Corporation (“NCR”) and you that, subject to (a) your continued employment with NCR, and assistance with an orderly transition, through March 21, 2018 (the “Separation Date”), (b) your provision of the Consulting Services described in Section 6 of this Letter Agreement, and (c) your execution of the release of claims in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (in consideration, in part, for NCR’s execution of the release of claims in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A) following, but not later than, the twenty-first day following, the Separation Date and your non-revocation of such release during the applicable revocation period, you (or your legal representative or the legal representative of your estate, as applicable, if you should die or become disabled prior to the payment thereof) will be entitled to a lump sum cash payment of $1,500,000, less applicable tax withholdings, payable on the thirtieth day following the Separation Date. Upon the termination of your employment with NCR, you shall forfeit all unvested NCR equity awards and you shall not be entitled to any transition or severance payment other than as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. In addition to the foregoing, you shall receive from NCR all salary and benefits otherwise due to you through the Separation Date. |
| |
(2) | Effective as of the Separation Date, you hereby tender your resignation from all positions you hold with NCR, including each of its subsidiaries and affiliates, and you agree to execute such documents as NCR shall reasonably request to evidence any such resignation. |
| |
(3) | You reaffirm the restrictive covenants set forth in your 2017 equity award agreements, i.e., those pertaining to non-competition, non-solicitation, non-recruitment/hiring, and non-disclosure (the “2017 Restrictive Covenants”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Separation Date shall be the commencement date for any applicable post-employment periods pursuant to the 2017 Restrictive Covenants and such post-employment periods shall not be extended |
by the Term (as defined below), which Term shall run concurrent with such post-employment periods.
| |
(4) | During your employment with NCR and thereafter, you agree that you will not disclose, unless required by applicable law or regulation or by a court of competent jurisdiction, to any third party, nor use on your own behalf, any of NCR’s confidential, technical, marketing, business, financial or other information not publicly available. |
| |
(5) | During your employment with NCR and thereafter, you will not directly or indirectly make disparaging comments that adversely affect the reputation of NCR or its directors or executive officers. NCR agrees to instruct its current executive officers and directors not to directly or indirectly make disparaging comments that adversely affect your reputation. Nothing herein shall prevent either NCR or you from testifying truthfully in any legal proceeding or before any applicable governmental agency or department or in any legal proceeding to enforce the terms of this Letter Agreement. |
| |
(6) | Following the Separation Date, you agree to provide consulting services to NCR on the following terms: |
| |
(a) | Term. You shall render the Consulting Services (as defined below) to NCR, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 6, during the period beginning on the Separation Date and ending on April 6, 2018 (the “Term”). |
| |
(b) | Consulting Services. You agree that, during the Term, you shall assist with the transition of your duties as Chief Operating Officer of NCR as reasonably requested by NCR (the “Consulting Services”). During the Term, you will be reasonably available for the purpose of rendering (and to the extent requested shall provide), for up to thirty hours per week, during regular business hours or at such other time or times as mutually agreed, the Consulting Services. During the Term, you shall not be required to travel to NCR’s headquarters or to any other location. Any expenses that you may incur on NCR’s behalf in rendering the services must be approved in advance by NCR and, if approved, shall be promptly reimbursed by NCR upon written submission by you of the applicable invoice or statement evidencing such expenses. You shall be indemnified by NCR to the maximum extent permitted by law and NCR’s governing documents for the services that you render hereunder during the Term. |
| |
(c) | Independent Contractor. You understand that your relationship with NCR during the Term shall be that of an independent contractor and during the Term you shall not be considered an employee of NCR for tax purposes or for any other purposes whatsoever. You |
specifically understand and agree that during the Term you will not be entitled to, nor be eligible to participate in, any benefits or privileges offered or given by NCR or any of its affiliates to their respective employees as a result of the relationship established by this Section 6. You agree that, during the Term, you will not be an agent of NCR or any of its affiliates, and that you will have no authority, implied or actual, to act on behalf of NCR or any of its affiliates or to enter into any agreement that would bind either NCR or any of its affiliates.
| |
(d) | Non-Assignability. You may not assign this consulting agreement without the prior written permission of NCR. Any attempt to assign any rights, duties, or obligations that arise under this consulting agreement without such permission shall be void. |
| |
(7) | Any controversy or claim arising out of or related to this Letter Agreement shall be resolved by binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be pursuant to the then current rules of the American Arbitration Association and shall be held in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City. The arbitration shall be held before a single arbitrator who is an attorney. The arbitrator’s decision and award shall be final and binding and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Issues of arbitrability shall be determined in accordance with the U.S. federal substantive and procedural laws relating to arbitration; in all other respects, this Letter Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Georgia in the United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Each party shall bear its own attorney fees associated with the arbitration; other costs, and the expenses of the arbitration, shall be borne as provided by the rules of the American Arbitration Association. |
| |
(8) | Notwithstanding the preceding Section 7, in the event that you breach Section 4 or Section 5 of this Letter Agreement, or any of the 2017 Restrictive Covenants, you acknowledge that NCR may sustain irreparable injury and may not have an adequate remedy at law. As a result, in the event of such a breach NCR may, in addition to any other remedies available to it, bring an action in a court of competent jurisdiction for equitable relief pending appointment of an arbitrator and completion of an arbitration, and in such instance shall not be required to post a bond. |
| |
(9) | The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of the Letter Agreement shall in all respects be governed by the laws of Georgia, without reference to principles of conflict of law. |
| |
(10) | Nothing in this Letter Agreement or the release attached hereto as Exhibit B shall prevent you from making a good faith report or related disclosures to any governmental agency or |
entity regarding potential violations of applicable federal, state, or local law or to take other actions protected as whistleblower activity under applicable law.
| |
(11) | NCR may withhold from any amount payable or benefit provided under this Letter Agreement such Federal, state, local, foreign and other taxes as are required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. |
| |
(12) | This Letter Agreement, the 2017 Restrictive Covenants, and the releases attached hereto as Exhibits A and B represent the entire agreement between the parties as to the subject matters herein and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements with respect thereto. This Letter Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of NCR and upon your heirs, beneficiaries and legal representatives. |
| |
(13) | This Letter Agreement may not be amended except by a writing signed by both parties. Waiver by a party of any breach of any provision of this letter agreement by the other party shall not operate nor be construed as a waiver of any subsequent or other breach. No provision or breach of this letter agreement may be waived except by a written instrument signed by the party waiving such provision or breach, which states that such party is waiving such provision or breach. |
