Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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) 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 2010 year-end 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, 2010 .

Effective January 1, 2011, NCR began management of its business on a line of business basis, changing from the previous model of geographic business segments. We have reclassified prior period segment disclosures to conform to the current period presentation. See Note 10, "Segment Information and Concentrations" for additional information.

On July 11, 2011, NCR entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger pursuant to which it agreed to acquire Radiant Systems, Inc. (Radiant), and on August 24, 2011, the acquisition was completed. As a result of the acquisition, the results of Radiant are included for the period from August 25, 2011 to September 30, 2011. See Note 3, "Business Combinations" for additional information.

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 revenues 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. See Note 14, "Subsequent Events" for additional information.

Discontinued Operations Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax includes activity related to environmental matters, the spin-off of Teradata Data Warehousing (Teradata), and the closure of NCR's EFT payment processing business in Canada.

The income (loss) from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30 was:

prior years related to the Fox River matter. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 , income from discontinued operations included settlements with insurance carriers related to the Fox River matter.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 , net cash used in discontinued operations related to environmental matters was $14 million due to remediation payments offset by scheduled payments from an insurer related to the Fox River matter. Net cash provided by discontinued operations related to environmental matters for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $6 million due to the settlement of insurance claims with insurance carriers offset by remediation payments related to the Fox River matter.

Spin-off of Teradata On September 30, 2007, NCR completed the spin-off of Teradata through the distribution of a tax-free stock dividend to its stockholders. The results of operations and cash flows of Teradata have been presented as a discontinued operation. There was no operating activity related to the spin-off of Teradata in 2011 and 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 , income from discontinued operations, net of tax, related to favorable changes in uncertain tax benefits attributable to Teradata.

Closure of the Canadian EFT Business For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 , income from discontinued operations included a loss of $1 million , net of tax, related to the closure of NCR's EFT payment processing business in Canada.

2. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

New Accounting Pronouncements In September 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ratified the final consensus reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) that revised the authoritative guidance for revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. The guidance addresses how to determine whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting and how the arrangement consideration should be allocated among the separate units of accounting. NCR adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2011 and is applying it prospectively for new or materially modified arrangements. Under the consensus adopted by the EITF, use of the residual method, which the Company previously applied to many of its customer arrangements, is no longer permitted. The new guidance requires the Company to use its best estimate of a deliverable's selling price whenever it lacks objective evidence. The result of this change is that any discount in a customer arrangement which previously was allocated to delivered items is instead now allocated on a relative fair value basis among all the deliverables. There were no significant changes to the Company's units of accounting within its multiple-element arrangements or in the pattern or timing of revenue recognition for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as a result of the adoption of this update.

In September 2009, the FASB also ratified the final consensus reached by the EITF that modifies the scope of its software revenue recognition guidance to exclude (a) non-software components of tangible products and (b) software components of tangible products that are sold, licensed or leased with tangible products when the software components and non-software components of the tangible product function together to deliver the tangible product's essential functionality. NCR adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2011 and is applying it prospectively for new or materially modified arrangements. There were no significant changes to the pattern or timing of revenue recognition for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as a result of the adoption of this update.

In May 2011, the FASB issued updated guidance related to fair value measurements and disclosures, including (a) the application of the highest and best use valuation premise concepts, (b) measuring the fair value of an instrument classified in a reporting entity's stockholders' equity, and (c) quantitative information required for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3. Additionally, disclosure requirements have been expanded to include additional disclosure for Level 3 measurements regarding the sensitivity of fair value to changes in unobservable inputs and any interrelationships between those inputs. The guidance applies prospectively, and is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012. The Company is in the process of evaluating what effects, if any, the adoption of this guidance will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued updated guidance related to the presentation of other comprehensive income, offering two alternatives for presentation: (a) a single continuous statement of comprehensive income; or (b) two separate but consecutive statements. In the two-statement approach, the first statement should present total net income and its components followed consecutively by a second statement that should present total other comprehensive income, the components of other comprehensive income, and the total of comprehensive income. The guidance applies retrospectively, and is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012. Other than the change in presentation, the Company has determined that these changes will not have an impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued changes to guidance for the testing of goodwill for impairment. These changes provide an

entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not, or more than 50% , that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Such qualitative factors may include the following: macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance, and other relevant entity-specific events. If an entity elects to perform a qualitative assessment and determines that an impairment is more likely than not, the entity is then required to perform the existing two-step quantitative impairment test; if it does not reach a more likely than not determination on impairment, no further analysis is required. An entity also may elect not to perform the qualitative assessment and, instead, go directly to the two-step quantitative impairment test. These changes become effective for NCR for any goodwill impairment test performed on January 1, 2012 or later, although early adoption is permitted. We perform a review of NCR’s goodwill in the fourth quarter of each calendar year and plan to adopt these changes effective for our review of goodwill in the fourth quarter of 2011. As these changes should not affect the outcome of the impairment analysis of a reporting unit, we have determined the adoption of this guidance will not have an impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenue Recognition The Company's significant accounting policies as reported in NCR's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 were amended in the first quarter of 2011 upon the adoption of the new revenue recognition accounting pronouncements discussed above. While the adoption of the new accounting pronouncements had no material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company's previously disclosed revenue recognition policy related to multiple-element arrangements and software was updated, and is presented below as revised.

NCR frequently enters into multiple-element arrangements with its customers including hardware, software, professional consulting services, transaction services and maintenance support services. For arrangements involving multiple deliverables, when deliverables include software and non-software products and services, NCR evaluates and separates each deliverable to determine whether it represents a separate unit of accounting based on the following criteria: (a) whether the delivered item has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis; and (b) if the contract includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item, whether delivery or performance of the undelivered items is considered probable and substantially in the control of NCR.

For arrangements entered into or materially modified after January 1, 2011, consideration is allocated to each unit of accounting based on the units' relative selling prices. In such circumstances, the Company uses a hierarchy to determine the selling price to be used for allocating revenue to each deliverable: (i) vendor-specific objective evidence of selling price (VSOE); (ii) third-party evidence of selling price (TPE); and (iii) best estimate of selling price (BESP). VSOE generally exists only when the Company sells the deliverable separately and is the price actually charged by the Company for that deliverable. VSOE is established for our software maintenance services and we use TPE to establish selling prices for our non-software related services, which include hardware maintenance, non-software related professional services, and transaction services. The Company uses BESP to allocate revenue when we are unable to establish VSOE or TPE of selling price. BESP is primarily used for elements such as hardware and software that are not consistently priced within a narrow range. The Company determines BESP for a deliverable by considering multiple factors including product class, geography, average discount, and management's historical pricing practices. Amounts allocated to the delivered hardware and software elements are recognized at the time of sale, provided the other conditions for revenue recognition have been met. Amounts allocated to the undelivered maintenance and other services elements are recognized as the services are provided or on a straight-line basis over the service period. 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 and acceptance generally occur in the same reporting period.

For arrangements entered into prior to January 1, 2011, the Company has not applied BESP. In such arrangements, if the Company has the requisite evidence of selling price for the undelivered elements but not for the delivered elements, the Company applies the residual method to allocate arrangement consideration.

In situations where NCR's solutions contain software that is more than incidental, revenue related to the software and software-related elements is recognized in accordance with authoritative guidance on software revenue recognition. For the software and software-related elements of such transactions, revenue is allocated based on the relative fair value of each element, and fair value is determined by VSOE. If the Company cannot objectively determine the fair value of any undelivered element included in such multiple-element arrangements, the Company defers revenue until all elements are delivered and services have been performed, or until fair value can objectively be determined for any remaining undelivered elements. When the fair value of a delivered element has not been established, but fair value evidence exists for the undelivered elements, the Company uses the residual method to recognize revenue. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is allocated to the delivered elements and is recognized as revenue.

3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Description of Transaction

On July 11, 2011, NCR entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Ranger Acquisition Corporation, and Radiant, pursuant to which NCR agreed to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Radiant through a tender offer at a price per share of $28.00 in cash. On August 24, 2011, following the successful completion of the tender offer, Ranger Acquisition Corporation was merged with and into Radiant (the Merger), with Radiant surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of NCR. The total equity purchase price approximated $1.2 billion .

Radiant was a leading provider of technology solutions for managing site operations in the hospitality and specialty retail industries, and will be operated within NCR as a separate line of business referred to as Hospitality and Specialty Retail (HSR). NCR believes that the acquisition will permit expansion into higher-margin adjacencies and new industry segments, and provide opportunities for future growth through the combination of NCR's global reach and services capabilities with Radiant's advanced software and strong channel partner network.

In connection with the acquisition, on August 22, 2011, NCR entered into a new $1.4 billion senior secured credit facility with and among a syndicate of lenders with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the administrative agent. The secured credit facility consists of a term loan facility in the amount of $700 million and a revolving facility in the amount of $700 million , of which $1.1 billion was drawn to fund the acquisition. See Note 12, "Debt Obligations" for additional information.

Recording of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in Radiant Acquisition

The fair value of consideration transferred to acquire Radiant was allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair market values as of the date of the Merger as set forth below. This allocation is preliminary and reflects the best estimate for conditions existing as of August 24, 2011. The primary areas of the purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to determining the fair values of deferred taxes and tax contingencies, and calculating any necessary adjustment to the residual goodwill.



In millions
Purchase Consideration		Net Tangible Assets Acquired/(Liabilities Assumed)		Purchased Intangible Assets		Goodwill
$	1,206	$	84	$	319	$	803

Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. The goodwill arising from the Merger consists of the revenue and cost synergies expected from combining the operations of NCR and Radiant. It is expected that approximately $73 million of the goodwill recognized in connection with the Merger will be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill arising from the Merger has been allocated as follows: approximately $618 million to the Hospitality and Specialty Retail segment; $86 million to the Financial Services segment; and $99 million to the Retail Solutions segment (formerly known as Retail and Hospitality).

The carrying amounts of goodwill by segment as of September 30, 2011 are as follows:

⁽¹⁾	Determination of the weighted average amortization period of the individual categories of intangible assets was based on the nature of the applicable intangible asset and the expected future cash flows to be derived from the intangible asset. Amortization of intangible assets with definite lives is recognized over the period of time the assets are expected to contribute to future cash flows.

The Company has incurred a total of $25 million of transaction expenses to date relating to the Merger, of which $24 million and $25 million are included in the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 , respectively.

5. STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS

As of September 30, 2011 , the Company’s primary types of stock-based compensation were stock options and restricted stock. Stock-based compensation expense for the following periods was:



In millions	Three months ended September 30		Nine months ended September 30
In millions	2011	2010	2011	2010
Stock options	$2	$2	$5	$4
Restricted stock	7	4	19	11
Total stock-based compensation (pre-tax)	9	6	24	15
Tax benefit	(2)	(2)	(7)	(5)
Total stock-based compensation (net of tax)	$7	$4	$17	$10

Stock-based compensation expense is recognized in the financial statements based upon fair value. Stock-based compensation expense was higher in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 , as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010 , due to changes in the quantity and value of awards granted.

The weighted average fair value of option grants was estimated based on the below weighted average assumptions and was $7.38 and $5.49 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 , respectively. There were no stock options granted in the three months ended September 30, 2011 .



	Three months ended September 30		Nine months ended September 30
	2011	2010	2011	2010
Dividend yield	—	—	—	—
Risk-free interest rate	—	1.60%	2.04%	2.31%
Expected volatility	—	43.8%	40.4%	46.9%
Expected holding period (years)	—	4.8	5.1	4.8

Expected volatility incorporates a blend of both historical volatility of the Company’s stock over a period equal to the expected term of the options and implied volatility from traded options on the Company’s stock, as management believes this is more representative 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 the five -year U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

As of September 30, 2011 , the total unrecognized compensation cost of $7 million related to unvested stock option grants is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.9 years. As of September 30, 2011 , the total unrecognized compensation cost of $54 million related to unvested restricted stock grants is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.7 years.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)—(Continued)

During the third quarter of 2011, NCR recorded approximately $6 million of severance costs related to the acquisition of Radiant.

During the second quarter of 2011, NCR announced a change in the long term disability benefits provided to former employees, effective July 1, 2011. This action reduced the actuarial liability associated with this benefit by approximately $6 million in the second quarter of 2011.

Employer Contributions

Pension For the three months ended September 30, 2011 , NCR contributed approximately $20 million to its international pension plans and $2 million to its executive pension plan. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 , NCR contributed approximately $60 million to its international pension plans and $6 million to its executive pension plan. NCR anticipates contributing an additional $55 million to its international pension plans for a total of $115 million, and an additional $4 million to its executive pension plan for a total of $10 million , in 2011. NCR does not anticipate making cash contributions to its U.S. qualified pension plan in 2011.

Postretirement For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 , NCR made $1 million and $7 million , respectively, in contributions to its U.S. postretirement plan. NCR anticipates contributing an additional $3 million to its U.S. postretirement plan for a total of $10 million in 2011.

Postemployment For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 , NCR contributed approximately $6 million and $18 million , respectively, to its postemployment plans. NCR anticipates contributing an additional $32 million to its postemployment plans for a total of $50 million in 2011.

7. 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, employee benefits, import/export compliance, intellectual property, data privacy, 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. NCR believes the amounts provided in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, as prescribed by GAAP, are currently adequate in light of the probable and estimable liabilities with respect to such matters, 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 environmental matter 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. Any costs that may be incurred in excess of those amounts provided as of September 30, 2011 cannot currently be reasonably determined.

The United States Department of Justice is conducting an investigation regarding the propriety of the Company’s former Teradata Data Warehousing business’s arrangements and understandings with others in connection with certain federal contracts. In connection with the spin-off of Teradata on September 30, 2007, the responsibility for this matter, together with the related reserve, was distributed to Teradata Corporation. While the Company may be subject to ostensible exposure inasmuch as it was the contracting party in the matter at issue, Teradata Corporation is generally obligated to indemnify the Company for any losses arising out of this matter.

A separate portion of the government’s investigation relates to the adequacy of pricing disclosures made to the government in connection with negotiation of the Company’s General Services Administration Federal Supply Schedule and to whether certain subsequent price reductions were properly passed on to the government. Both Teradata Corporation and the Company are participating in this aspect of the investigation, with respect to certain products and services of each of them, and each will assume financial responsibility for its own exposures, if any, without indemnification from the other. At this time, the Company is unable to determine whether it has probable liability with respect to this aspect of the investigation.

In December 2010, a jury in a New York federal court awarded approximately $8 million , which NCR recognized as selling, general and administrative expense during 2010, to a plaintiff in a suit over a commission arrangement purportedly entered into by the Company's consumables business in 2003. The Company has filed an appeal.

In relation to a patent infringement case filed by a company known as Automated Transactions, Limited (ATL) the Company agreed to defend and indemnify its customers, 7-Eleven and Cardtronics. On behalf of those customers, the Company won summary judgment in the case in March 2011. ATL has sought appellate review of that ruling. ATL contends that Vcom terminals sold by the Company to 7-Eleven (Cardtronics ultimately purchased the business from 7-Eleven) infringe certain ATL patents that purport to relate to the combination of an ATM with an Internet kiosk, in which a retail transaction can be realized over an Internet connection provided by the kiosk. Independent of the litigation, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) rejected the parent patent as invalid in view of certain prior art, although related continuation patents were not reexamined by the USPTO. ATL filed a second suit against the same companies with respect to a broader range of ATMs, based on the same patents plus a more recently issued patent; that suit is currently subject to a stay pending resolution of the case in which summary judgment was granted. ATL also filed a third suit against two financial institutions and a reseller in 2009; NCR is a third-party defendant in the case, by virtue of an indemnification complaint filed in 2011. ATL alleges infringement of some of the same patents at issue in the other suits. While the Company does not believe that ATL's patent claims are meritorious, if ATL's claims are successful potential royalties or damages could cause the Company to incur liability that could be material to it, and such royalties or damages could adversely impact its ATM business.

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 litigation expenses in the Kalamazoo River matter detailed below, we currently do not anticipate material expenses and liabilities from these environmental matters.

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. 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. Some parties contend that NCR is also responsible for PCB discharges from paper mills owned by other companies because carbonless paper manufactured by NCR was allegedly purchased by those mills as a raw material for their paper making processes. NCR sold its facilities in 1978 to Appleton Papers Inc. (API), which has also been identified as a PRP. The other Fox River PRPs that received notices are P.H. Glatfelter Company, Georgia-Pacific Consumer Products LP (GP, successor to Fort James Operating Company), WTM I Co. (formerly Wisconsin Tissue Mills, now owned by Chesapeake Corporation), CBC Corporation (formerly Riverside Paper Corporation), U.S. Paper Mills Corp. (owned by Sonoco Products Company), and Menasha Corporation.

In the October 2010 lawsuit discussed below, the federal and state governments assert certain claims against the eight parties referenced above as well as four other entities. These claims, filed under CERCLA and other statutes, relate to the presence of PCBs at the Fox River site, and as a result the four newly named parties are also properly viewed as PRPs with respect to the site. Those entities are NewPage Wisconsin Systems, Inc., Neenah-Menasha Sewerage Commission, Kimberly-Clark Corporation, and the City of Appleton, Wisconsin.

During the past several years, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) (together, the Governments) assessed and developed clean-up plans for the upper and lower parts of the Fox River and for portions of the Bay of Green Bay, contained in various Records of Decisions (RODs) issued in January 2003, July 2003 and June 2007 (the last is referred to as the Amended ROD). In general, the clean-up plan or remedy calls for a combination of dredging and capping to remediate the sediments in the river, and for monitored natural attenuation in the Bay of Green Bay. Since 2004, the Company has been involved in certain aspects of the clean-up project, including performance, with GP, of engineering design work for the clean-up under an Administrative Order on Consent (AOC) entered into with the Governments. In addition, the Company, with U.S. Paper Mills, performed specific remedial action involving an area of elevated PCB incidence downriver of the De Pere Dam (Phase 1 work), pursuant to a consent decree with the Governments that was approved in November 2006.

On November 13, 2007, the Governments issued a unilateral administrative order (Order) under Section 106 of CERCLA to all eight of the original PRPs identified above. The Order requires these PRPs to implement the remedial work in the lower river in accordance with the requirements of the Amended ROD. NCR and API have been working with the Governments to implement

Table of Contents

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)—(Continued)

certain provisions of the Order. In-water work began on schedule in April 2009, following construction of a facility to house the remediation operations in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

In April 2009, the NCR Board of Directors approved the terms of a contract with Tetra Tech, an environmental remediation contractor, to perform the remediation work at the Fox River consistent with the requirements of the Amended ROD. Also in April 2009, the Board of Directors approved the formation of a limited liability company (LLC), which NCR and API formed on April 27, 2009. The LLC entered into a remediation contract with Tetra Tech on April 27, 2009, and in-water dredging and remediation by Tetra Tech commenced thereafter. The Company and API fund the LLC’s operations on a regular basis tied to the remediation schedule, consistent with the Company’s Fox River reserve, discussed below. The Tetra Tech contract also requires that the LLC members provide promissory notes to provide Tetra Tech financial assurance against the prospect that the LLC will terminate the contract before completion of the remediation for reasons other than “cause.” The current maximum obligation under the Company’s note, originally $20 million , is now approximately $16 million ; the amount will vary based on a formula tied to conditions set forth in the contract, and generally is expected to decrease over time.

NCR and API share a portion of the cost of the Fox River clean-up and natural resource damages based upon an agreement and an arbitration award, both arising out of the previously referenced 1978 sale of certain facilities located on the Fox River. The agreement and award result 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 .

In 2008, NCR and API filed a lawsuit in federal court in Green Bay, Wisconsin, seeking a judicial ruling determining the allocable responsibility of several PRPs for the cost of performing the remedial work at the Fox River (the “allocation litigation”). A number of counterclaims seeking contribution under CERCLA and under various state law theories were filed against NCR and API. On September 23, 2008, the court issued a Case Management Decision and Scheduling Order setting a “Phase I trial” limited to the questions of (i) when each party knew or should have known that recycling NCR-brand carbonless copy paper would result in the discharge of PCBs to a waterbody, thereby risking environmental damage; and (ii) what, if any, actions each party took upon acquiring such knowledge to avoid the risk of further PCB contamination. The court’s order also limited initial discovery proceedings to the same questions.

On December 16, 2009, the court issued a ruling canceling the Phase I trial and granting motions for summary judgment filed by certain of the defendants with respect to NCR's and API's claims. The court held that NCR and API could not recover from these defendants any costs that NCR and API have incurred in the Fox River cleanup (the ruling does not affect the Governments’ potential claims against such parties). In a further ruling dated February 28, 2011, the court granted partial summary judgment to the defendants on certain of their contribution counterclaims against NCR and API, with respect to certain Fox River response costs incurred by them. The Company intends to appeal both rulings to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, after the remaining claims in the litigation are resolved, which is expected to occur following a trial that is scheduled for February 2012.

On October 14, 2010, the Governments filed a lawsuit in federal court in Wisconsin against twelve parties, including the companies named in the 2007 Order mandating the cleanup (i.e., the eight original PRPs), and NewPage Wisconsin Systems, Inc., Neenah-Menasha Sewerage Commission, Kimberly-Clark Corporation, and the City of Appleton, Wisconsin (the four additional PRPs), with respect to the presence of PCBs at the Fox River. The Government suit seeks payment of the Governments’ unreimbursed response costs in connection with the Fox River matter as well as compensation for natural resource damages. The Governments also request a judicial declaration that the eight Order recipients are required to comply with its provisions. With respect to NCR, there are no claims asserted against the Company in this lawsuit that were not previously contemplated in the Company’s Fox River reserve, as discussed herein.

In the quarter ended December 31, 2010, the Governments publicly announced proposed monetary settlements of Fox River - related claims with four entities: GP, Brown County (Wisconsin), the City of Green Bay, and the United States itself (with respect to potential liabilities asserted against the Army Corps of Engineers for certain dredging and disposal activities, and against other federal agencies for certain carbonless copy paper recycling activities). All of those entities are defendants in the allocation litigation case described above. The GP settlement, which has received court approval, releases GP from liability for, and provides contribution protection for claims relating to government oversight costs and certain claims relating to clean-up actions upriver of GP's facilities (it does not affect claims for clean-up actions in that portion of the river near those facilities). The settlement with Brown County, the City of Green Bay and the United States, if approved, would release those entities and provide contribution protection for all claims relating to the Fox River site.

In March 2011, the federal government filed a motion for a preliminary injunction against NCR and API in its October 2010 suit. The motion sought an injunction ordering the two companies, through the LLC, to perform particular aspects of a remediation work plan in 2011 as set forth by the Governments. This motion was denied in July 2011. The government filed a renewed motion, which also was denied in July. In its rulings the court observed that, while a basis may exist for an injunction

Table of Contents

NCR Corporation

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)—(Continued)

against NCR, it would not grant an injunction in light of NCR's minority position in the LLC, which is controlled by API. After the unsuccessful injunction motions, the government issued correspondence to NCR and API seeking further remediation in 2011 and certain commitments with respect to work in 2012.

The extent of NCR’s potential liability remains subject to many uncertainties. NCR’s eventual remediation liability—which is expected to be paid out over a period extending through approximately 2017, followed by long-term monitoring for several decades—will depend on a number of factors. In general, the most significant factors include: (1) the total clean-up costs for each of the segments of the river; (2) the total natural resource damages for the site; (3) the shares NCR and API will jointly bear of future clean-up costs and natural resource damages; (4) the share NCR will bear of the joint NCR/API payments for such clean-up costs and natural resource damages; and (5) NCR’s transaction and litigation costs to defend itself in this matter, including participation in the allocation litigation and the October 2010 litigation filed by the Governments. In establishing the reserve, NCR attempts to estimate a range of reasonably possible outcomes for each of these factors, although each range is itself highly 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. These factors are discussed below.

For the first factor described above, NCR utilizes a best estimate of $930 million as the total of the clean-up costs for the segments of the river. The estimated total cost amount of $930 million includes estimates for the Operable Unit (OU) 1 through OU 5 work, including the remaining amount of work to be performed under the April 2009 Tetra Tech remediation contract, the Phase 1 work and the remedial design work. It adds to these estimates a 15% contingency for probable cost overruns based on historical experience; an estimate for the Governments’ future oversight costs; an amount for the Governments’ past oversight costs; an estimate for long-term monitoring extending over several decades; and an estimate for value engineering savings (potential projects intended to reduce the cost of the remediation) and the NCR-API share of estimated natural resource damages. There can be no assurances that this estimated total cost amount will not be significantly higher as remediation work progresses. A range of reasonably possible outcomes with respect to total cost is difficult to state, but if the portion of the cost estimate relating to the contingency for cost overruns and unexpected expenses were twice our estimate, the total cost would increase to approximately $986 million .

Second, for total natural resource damages (NRD), NCR uses a best estimate of $76 million . NCR believes the range of reasonably possible outcomes for NRD, if it were to be litigated, is between zero and $246 million . The federal government indicated, in a 2009 filing in a PRP’s bankruptcy proceeding, that claims for NRD could be as high as $382 million . The litigation filed in October 2010 does not set forth a particular amount for the NRD claim.

Third, for the NCR/API share of NRD, which is discussed above, NCR uses a best estimate. In a ruling dated September 30, 2011, the Wisconsin federal court ruled that the defendants in the allocation litigation could seek recovery against NCR and API for overpayments of NRD. Whether the federal government is entitled to NRD recovery on behalf of NRD trustees is an issue that is not expected to be determined before late 2012 or 2013.

The joint NCR/API share of future clean-up costs is expected to be determined in the allocation litigation or possibly in or as a result of the Government litigation filed in October 2010. NCR has modified the basis previously used for this component of the reserve (in the past, the Company used the low end of a range of outcomes, based primarily on the proximity of areas to be remediated to the locations at which PCBs were released into the river). In light of the Wisconsin federal court’s December 16, 2009 and February 28, 2011 rulings described above, NCR’s reserve at September 30, 2011 assumed that NCR and API will be responsible for the full extent of the cleanup activities they are undertaking, which the Company considers a best estimate, and for a substantial portion of the counterclaims filed against NCR and API, as to which the Company employs assumptions based on the court's February 28, 2011 ruling. If the Company is subsequently ruled liable for remaining claims in the allocation litigation, the Company estimates that its reserve could increase by approximately an additional $19 million . The Company will seek to overturn the trial court's rulings on appeal and believes that the NCR/API allocable share of total site costs is less than 100% , based on equitable factors, principles of divisibility as developed under applicable law, and/or an apportionment of the claimed harm. Until such time, if any, that such a result is achieved, the Company assumes in its reserve that NCR and API will pay for the full extent of the cleanup. NCR’s reserve does not at present assume any payments or reduction of exposure based either on the appeal or on Government enforcement against the other Order recipients or defendants.

Fourth, for the NCR share of the joint NCR/API payments, as discussed above, NCR’s percentage share is set by an agreement between NCR and API and a subsequent arbitration award, both of which arise out of certain agreements entered into in connection with the Company’s 1978 sale of the facilities on the Fox River to API. NCR’s analysis of this factor assumes that API pays its percentage share of the NCR/API joint share. In its July 2011 rulings on the federal government's motions for a preliminary injunction, the Wisconsin federal court observed that API may have no direct CERCLA liability at the Fox River. API filed a motion for summary judgment asking that the counterclaims against it be dismissed. While this motion remained undecided at the close of the quarter ending September 30, 2011, NCR does not believe that such a dismissal, if granted, would

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)—(Continued)

have an effect on API's obligations to contribute to NCR's funding for the remediation, as these obligations arise independently by contract. The API obligation to NCR is shared on a joint and several basis by a third party, B.A.T. Industries p.l.c., which, by virtue of various prior indemnification and other agreements not specifically directed to the Fox River matter, is a co-party to the same agreement and arbitration award to which API is also a party. This analysis also assumes that B.A.T. Industries p.l.c. would be financially viable and willing to pay the joint and several obligation if API does not. As a result of unrelated prior corporate transactions, API itself is indemnified by another company, Arjo Wiggins Appleton Ltd., which has funded and managed API’s liability to date.

Finally, NCR estimated the transaction costs it is likely to incur to defend this matter through approximately 2017, the time period NCR’s engineering consultants believe it will take to implement the remedy for the river. This estimate is based on an analysis of NCR’s costs since this matter first arose in 1995 and estimates of what NCR’s defense and transaction costs will be in the future. NCR expects that the bulk of these transaction costs have been and will be incurred in the 2008-2013 time period. The costs incurred and expected to be incurred during that period include, in particular, transaction costs and fees related to completion of the design work, equipment purchases, commencement and continuation of clean-up activities in the river, and the allocation litigation and October 2010 litigation filed by the Governments discussed above.

In light of several factors—among them, the remedial design work conducted by NCR and GP; settlement possibilities; the efforts to implement the Order for clean-up of the lower river; the pending allocation litigation and the prospective appeals, whether there will be judicial recognition of allocable harm at the Fox River site and thus of divisible shares of liability among the various parties; the extent to which the Governments press claims against the parties in the Governments’ October 2010 litigation or otherwise for NRD, government oversight costs and remediation liability; change orders or cost overruns that may result from the ongoing remediation efforts; the continued viability and willingness to pay of NCR’s various indemnitors and co-obligors; and the subsequent value engineering efforts designed to make the cleanup more efficient and less costly—calculation of the Company’s Fox River reserve has become subject to added layers of complexities, and it is possible there could be additional changes to some elements of the reserve over upcoming periods, although we are unable to predict or estimate such changes at this time. There can be no assurance that the clean-up and related expenditures will not have a material effect on NCR’s capital expenditures, earnings, financial condition, cash flows, or competitive position.

As of September 30, 2011 , the net reserve for the Fox River matter was approximately $180 million , compared to $199 million as of December 31, 2010 . This decrease in the reserve is due to payments for clean-up activities and legal fees offset by a decrease in the indemnification asset discussed below. NCR regularly re-evaluates the assumptions used in determining the appropriate reserve for the Fox River matter as additional information becomes available and, when warranted, makes appropriate adjustments. NCR contributes to the LLC in order to fund remediation activities and generally, by contract, funds three months’ worth of remediation activities in advance. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 , approximately $5 million , remained from this funding and was recorded in other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. NCR’s reserve for the Fox River matter is reduced as the LLC makes payments to Tetra Tech and other vendors with respect to remediation activities.

Under a 1996 agreement, AT&T and Alcatel-Lucent 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. (The agreement governs certain aspects of AT&T Corp.’s divestiture of NCR, then known as AT&T Global Information Solutions Company, and of what was formerly known as Lucent Technologies, and specifically relates to contingent gains and liabilities of the former constituent companies within AT&T.) NCR’s estimate of what AT&T and Alcatel-Lucent will pay under the indemnity is recorded as a long-term asset of approximately $85 million as of September 30, 2011 and $86 million as of December 31, 2010 , and is deducted in determining the net reserve discussed above. The asset balance can fluctuate not only with respect to total clean-up and other costs, but also with respect to insurance recoveries and certain tax impacts as measured by a contractual formula using prior-year effective tax rates. Such insurance recoveries and tax impacts are netted against the asset in proportions specified under the indemnity agreement (i.e., they typically decrease its amount). Insurance recoveries, whether by judgment or settlement, are the subjects of ongoing litigation, which is now nearly concluded, and have the effect of reducing the Company’s expected receipts under the indemnity, and therefore insurance recoveries are not expected to materially reduce the Company’s aggregate expenditures for the Fox River matter. The tax impact within the indemnity calculation is subject to substantial volatility regarding the Company’s effective tax rate from year to year, rendering the future tax impacts highly uncertain. When actual payments, net of insurance recoveries and tax impacts, reach the indemnity threshold, the Company expects to commence collection of the related portions of the asset. The Company currently does not expect to achieve the threshold before 2012 or 2013.

In connection with the Fox River and other matters, through September 30, 2011 , NCR has received a combined total of approximately $158 million in connection with settlements reached with its principal insurance carriers; an additional $4 million is expected to be received in the future under the contractual terms of one settlement. Portions of most of these

Table of Contents

NCR Corporation

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)—(Continued)

settlements 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. Of the total amount collected to date, $9 million is subject to competing claims by another party, and NCR and the other party have agreed that these funds will be used for Fox River costs and will be shared on an agreed-upon basis (subject to reallocation at a later date). NCR’s agreed-upon share of the $9 million is estimated to be $4 million .

As of September 30, 2011 , NCR had reached settlement with all but one of the insurance companies against which it had advanced claims with respect to the Fox River. That remaining company entered into certain stipulations which obviated the need for a trial and caused judgment to be entered against it in the amount of $5 million ; an appeal is pending.

In November 2010, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 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 parties - International Paper, Mead Corporation, and Consumers Energy - also received general notice letters at or about the same time. The EPA asserts that the site is contaminated by various substances, primarily PCBs as a result of discharges by various paper mills located along the river. The EPA does not claim that the Company made direct discharges into the Kalamazoo River, but 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." The EPA 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." The Company disagrees that it may have liability at the Kalamazoo River Site, and will dispute such claims if formally asserted by the EPA.

Also in connection with the Kalamazoo River Site, in December 2010 the Company was sued in Wisconsin federal court by three GP entities in a contribution and cost recovery action for alleged pollution at the site. The suit asks that the Company pay a "fair portion" of the GP entities' costs, which are represented as $79 million to date; various removal and remedial actions remain to be performed at the Kalamazoo site. The suit alleges that the Company is liable as an "arranger" under CERCLA and under other theories. The suit does not allege that the Company has made direct discharges into the Kalamazoo River. Substantial litigation over the Kalamazoo River Site took place several years ago in federal courts in Michigan. The Company was not a party to that litigation, and filed a motion to transfer the December 2010 case to the Michigan federal court; that motion was granted in the quarter ended June 30, 2011, and the Michigan federal court has set the case for trial in February 2013. The Company expects to contest the allegations in the GP suit vigorously. As of September 30, 2011, there are a total of three defendants in the case; the other two defendants have asserted cross-claims against the Company.

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 primarily on internal and third-party environmental studies (except for the Fox River site, where the estimated costs and natural resource damages are estimated as described above), estimates as to the number and participation level of any other PRPs, the extent of the 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 insurance, third-party indemnity claims or recoveries from the other PRPs, except as qualified in the following sentences. Except for the sharing agreement with API described above with respect to the Fox River site, in those cases where insurance carriers or third-party indemnitors have agreed to pay any amounts and management believes that collectibility of such amounts is probable, the amounts are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. For the Fox River site, as described above, an asset relating to the AT&T and Alcatel-Lucent indemnity is recorded because payment is considered probable and is supported by contractual agreements.

Guarantees and Product Warranties Guarantees associated with NCR’s business activities are reviewed for appropriateness and impact to the Company’s financial statements. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 , NCR had no material obligations related to such guarantees, and therefore its 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 nine months ended September 30 as follows:



In millions	2011			2010
Warranty reserve liability
Beginning balance as of January 1	$	24		$	25
Accruals for warranties issued	28			33
Settlements (in cash or in kind)	(32		)	(35		)
Ending balance as of September 30	$	20		$	23

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, payments made by the Company under these types of agreements have not had a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

8. INCOME TAXES

Income tax provisions for interim (quarterly) periods are based on estimated annual income taxes calculated separately from the effect of significant infrequent or unusual items. Income tax represented a benefit of $1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to a benefit of $45 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 . The decrease in the income tax benefits in the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the prior period was primarily due to the release of a $40 million valuation allowance in the three months ended September 30, 2010 that was no longer required on specific deferred tax assets in NCR's subsidiary in Japan. Additionally, the change in tax benefit is driven by a change in pre-tax income over the prior year, the mix of jurisdictions with income and losses and changes in uncertain tax positions. Income tax represented expense of $8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to a benefit of $35 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 . The increase in the income tax expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the prior period was primarily due to the release of a $40 million valuation allowance in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 that was no longer required on specific deferred tax assets in NCR's subsidiary in Japan. Additionally, the change in tax expense is driven by a change in pre-tax income over the prior year, the mix of jurisdictions with income and losses and changes in uncertain tax positions.

9. EARNINGS PER SHARE AND SHARE REPURCHASES

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income or loss attributable to NCR by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reported period. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share, except that the weighted average number of shares outstanding includes the dilution from potential shares added from stock options and unvested restricted stock awards. The holders of unvested restricted stock awards do not have nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents and therefore, such unvested awards do not qualify as participating securities.

The components of basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:

Options to purchase approximately 3.0 million and 6.1 million shares of common stock for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 , respectively, as well as 2.5 million and 6.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 , respectively, were outstanding but were not included in the diluted share count because the options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the underlying common shares and, therefore, the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

For the three months ended September 30, 2011 , the Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 , the Company repurchased approximately 3.6 million shares of its common stock for $70 million . For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 , the Company repurchased approximately 1.5 million shares of its common stock for $20 million , of which all shares were repurchased during the third quarter of 2010. Upon repurchase, shares are retired.

10. SEGMENT INFORMATION AND CONCENTRATIONS

Effective January 1, 2011, NCR reorganized its businesses and the management thereof to a line of business model, changing from the previous functional geographic model. In order to align the Company's external reporting of its financial results with this organizational change, the Company modified its segment reporting. The Company now manages and reports its businesses in the following five segments:


•	Financial Services - We offer solutions to enable customers in the financial services industry to reduce costs, generate new revenue streams and enhance customer loyalty. These solutions include a comprehensive line of ATM and payment processing hardware and software, and related installation, maintenance and managed and professional services. We also offer a complete line of printer consumables.

•

Retail Solutions (formerly "Retail and Hospitality") - We offer solutions to customers in the retail and hospitality industries designed to improve selling productivity and checkout processes as well as increase service levels. These solutions primarily include retail-oriented technologies, such as Point of Sale (POS) terminals and bar-code scanners, as well as innovative self-service kiosks, such as self-checkout. We also offer installation, maintenance, and managed and professional services and a complete line of printer consumables.

•

Hospitality and Specialty Retail - The business of Radiant is managed and reported as a separate segment, Hospitality and Specialty Retail. Through this line of business, we offer technology solutions to customers in the hospitality, convenience, and specialty retail industries, serving businesses that range from a single store or restaurant to global chains and the world's largest sports stadiums. Our solutions include Point of Sale (POS) hardware and software solutions, installation, maintenance, and managed and professional services and a complete line of printer consumables.


•	Entertainment - We offer solutions that provide the consumer the ability to rent or buy movies at their convenience through self-service kiosks which we own and operate. This segment operates primarily in North America.

NCR Corporation

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)—(Continued)

•

Emerging Industries - We offer maintenance and managed and professional services for third-party computer hardware provided to select manufacturers, primarily in the telecommunications industry, who value and leverage our global service capability. Also included in our Emerging Industries segment are solutions designed to enhance the customer experience for the travel and gaming and healthcare industries, including self-service kiosks, as well as related installation, maintenance, and managed and professional services.

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.

We have reclassified our prior period segment information to conform to the current period presentation. 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.

In recognition of the volatility of the effects of pension expense on our segment results, and to maintain operating focus on business performance, pension expense, as well as other significant, non-recurring 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.

The following table presents revenue and operating income by segment:

⁽¹⁾	The acquisition of Radiant was completed on August 24, 2011. Because the transaction was completed during the third quarter of 2011 , the revenue and operating income results reflected for the Hospitality and Specialty Retail segment are partial, and reflect only the period from August 25, 2011 through September 30, 2011 .

⁽²⁾

Other adjustments include $24 million and $25 million of acquisition related transaction costs for the the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 , respectively; $6 million of acquisition related severance costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 ; and $3 million of acquisition related amortization of intangible assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 . Other adjustments include $6 million and $18 million of incremental costs directly related to the relocation of the Company's worldwide headquarters for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 , respectively.

Deposits Held in Money Market Funds - A portion of the Company’s excess cash is held in money market funds which generate interest income based on prevailing market rates. Money market fund holdings are measured at fair value using quoted market prices and are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.

Available-For-Sale Securities - The Company has investments in mutual funds and equity securities that are valued using the market approach with quotations from the NASDAQ stock exchange and two stock exchanges in Japan. As a result, available-for-sale securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.

Foreign Exchange Forward 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 contracts. The foreign exchange forward 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

NCR measures certain assets, including intangible assets and cost and equity method investments, at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets are recognized at fair value when initially valued and when deemed to be impaired. No impairment charges or material non-recurring fair value adjustments were recorded during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2011 or September 30, 2010 .

12. DEBT OBLIGATIONS

As of September 30, 2011 , the Company’s long term debt was $1.06 billion . The Company’s long-term debt consists primarily of $1.05 billion outstanding under the Company's new secured credit facility, $5 million in notes payable originating in the United States and $3 million related to the capital lease obligation, each as described below.

Secured Credit Facility In August 2011, the Company entered into a new five-year secured credit facility (the Secured Credit Facility) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders to borrow up to $1.4 billion . The Secured Credit Facility consists of a term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $700 million , of which $700 million was outstanding as of September 30, 2011 , and a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $700 million , of which $350 million was outstanding as of September 30, 2011 . The revolving credit facility also allows a portion of the availability to be used for outstanding letters of credit, and as of September 30, 2011 , outstanding letters of credit totaled approximately $21 million .

In connection with entering into the Secured Credit Facility, the Company retired the outstanding loans under its existing revolving credit facility and terminated that facility, and used borrowings under the Secured Credit Facility to fund a portion of the purchase price for its acquisition of Radiant.

The term loan facility is required to be repaid in quarterly installments of $17.5 million beginning March 31, 2013, with the balance of $455 million being due in August 2016. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are due in August 2016. Amounts outstanding under the Secured Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company's option, at a base rate equal to the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% , (ii) the administrative agent's “prime rate” and (c) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00% (the Base Rate) or LIBOR, plus a margin ranging from 0.25% to 1.50% for Base Rate-based loans that are either term loans or revolving loans and ranging from 1.25% to 2.50% for LIBOR-based loans that are either term loans or revolving loans, depending on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio. The terms of the Secured Credit Facility also require certain other fees and payments to be made by the Company.

The Company's obligations under the Secured Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of its wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries. The Secured Credit Facilities 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. These security interests will be released when the Company achieves an “investment grade” rating, and will remain released so long as the Company maintains that rating.

The Secured Credit Facility includes affirmative, negative and financial 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; 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. These covenants also require the Company to maintain:


•	a consolidated leverage ratio not to exceed (i) 3.50 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter in 2012 and 2013, (ii) 3.25 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter in 2014, and (iii) 3.00 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter in 2015 and beyond; and


•	an interest coverage ratio of at least (i) 3.50 to 1.00 , in the case of any four consecutive fiscal quarters ending prior to December 31, 2013, and (ii) 4.00 to 1.00 , in the case of any four consecutive fiscal quarters ending on or after December 31, 2013.

The Secured Credit Facility also contains 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.

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 term loans and/or revolving credit facilities with commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $500 million , the proceeds of which can be used for working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes.

In connection with the Secured Credit Facility, the Company deferred approximately $28 million of debt issuance costs, which are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

Notes Payable - The $5 million in notes payable mature in 2020 and bear interest at a rate of 9.49% per annum.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)—(Continued)

Industrial Revenue Bond – During 2009, NCR entered into a transaction with the Development Authority of Columbus, Georgia (the Development Authority). The transaction resulted in the issuance of approximately $5 million in taxable revenue bonds by the Development Authority. The Development Authority used the proceeds to purchase a manufacturing facility consisting of a building and fixtures. NCR and the Development Authority entered into a lease agreement, the terms of which provide NCR with a ten year lease of the facility for manufacturing purposes. Under the terms of the lease agreement, the rental payments made by NCR will be utilized by the Development Authority to repay the principal and interest (at a rate of 5% ) of the bonds and NCR will have the option of acquiring the facility for a nominal amount at the end of the lease term. Based on the terms of the lease agreement, the transaction was accounted for as a capital lease, which resulted in the capitalization of the purchase price of the facility as an asset and recording of the capital lease obligation as long-term debt. The unamortized amount of the capital lease obligation included in long-term debt as of September 30, 2011 is $3 million .

Fair Value of Debt – The fair value of debt is based on a discounted cash flow model that incorporates a market yield curve based on the Company’s credit rating with adjustments for duration. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 , the fair value of debt was $1.06 billion and $13 million , respectively.

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 revenues occur outside the United States (U.S.), and in 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 Sheet. The Company designates foreign exchange contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted inter-company inventory purchases 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 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. As these transactions are firmly committed and forecasted, the related foreign exchange contracts are designated as highly effective cash flow hedges. The gains or losses on these hedges are deferred in AOCI and reclassified to income when the underlying hedged transaction has been completed and is recorded in earnings. As of September 30, 2011 , the balance in AOCI related to foreign exchange forward derivative transactions was a gain of $1 million , net of tax, all of which related to instruments expiring in 2011. 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.

Interest Rate Risk

We held no derivative financial instruments related to interest rate risk as of September 30, 2011 .

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

Table of Contents

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)—(Continued)

to potentially significant losses. However, management believes that the reserves for potential losses are adequate. As of September 30, 2011 , NCR did not have any major concentration of credit risk related to financial instruments.

14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

NCR Brasil Equity Subscription As previously disclosed, on July 26, 2011, the Company entered into an Equity Subscription Agreement with NCR Brasil - Indústria de Equipamentos para Automação S.A. (formerly known as NCR Brasil - Indústria de Equipamentos para Automação Ltda.), a subsidiary of the Company (NCR Manaus), Scopus Tecnologia Ltda. (Scopus), and Scopus Industrial S/A , a subsidiary of Scopus (Scopus Industrial), pursuant to which Scopus Industrial agreed to acquire a 49% equity interest in NCR Manaus for a subscription price of approximately $43 million (the Equity Subscription).

On October 4, 2011, the Equity Subscription was completed. As a result of the Equity Subscription, the Company and Scopus Industrial hold 51% and 49% , respectively, of the outstanding voting equity of NCR Manaus.

In connection with the closing of the Equity Subscription, the Company, NCR Dutch Holdings B.V. (a subsidiary of the Company), NCR Manaus, Scopus, and Scopus Industrial also entered into a Shareholders' Agreement that establishes the general framework governing the relationship among the shareholders of NCR Manaus.

Interest Rate Swap Agreement On October 11, 2011, the Company entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap agreement that became effective on October 14, 2011. This swap agreement fixes the interest rate on a portion of the Company's LIBOR indexed floating rate borrowings under its Secured Credit Facility through August 22, 2016. The notional amount of the interest rate swap starts at $560 million and amortizes to $341 million over the term.

Consolidated revenue	$1,403	100%	$1,207	100%	16%	5%

Revenue

For the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010 , revenue increased 16% due to higher volumes for both product sales and services revenue in the North America, Europe and South Asia Pacific theaters, higher product sales in the CLA theater and higher services revenue in the BICMEA theater. The acquisition of Radiant also led to an incremental increase in product sales and services revenue in the North America theater. Foreign currency fluctuations favorably impacted the quarter-over-quarter comparison by 5%. Our product revenue increased 20% and our services revenue increased 13% quarter-over-quarter.

Revenue in the North America theater increased primarily due to growth in products and services in the financial services, retail

Table of Contents

solutions, and hospitality and specialty retail lines of business as well as growth in the entertainment line of business. Revenue in the Europe theater increased due to growth in products and services in the financial services line of business. Revenue in the South Asia Pacific theater increased due to growth in products and services in the financial services and retail solutions lines of business. Revenue in the CLA theater increased primarily due to growth in products in the financial services line of business. Revenue in the BICMEA theater increased primarily due to growth in services in the financial services line of business.

Gross Margin

Gross margin as a percentage of revenue in the third quarter of 2011 was 20.9% compared to 20.4% in the third quarter of 2010 . Product gross margin in the third quarter of 2011 was 19.2% compared to 20.8% in the third quarter of 2010 . The decrease in product gross margin was primarily due to an unfavorable sales mix. Services gross margin in the third quarter of 2011 was 22.7% compared to 19.9% in the third quarter of 2010 . Services gross margin was negatively impacted by $10 million in higher pension expense, or 1.5% as a percentage of services revenue, period over period. After considering the effect of pension expense, the increase in services gross margin was due to lower labor and service delivery costs and continued focus on overall cost containment.

Effects of Pension, Postemployment, and Postretirement Benefit Plans

Gross margin and operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were impacted by certain employee benefit plans as shown below:



	Three months ended September 30
In millions	2011	2010
Pension expense	$62	$50
Postemployment expense	17	7
Postretirement benefit	(4)	(1)
Total expense	$75	$56

During the three months ended September 30, 2011 , NCR incurred $62 million of pension expense compared to $50 million in the third quarter of 2010 . The increase in pension expense was primarily due to increased amortization of actuarial loss due to lower discount rates. The increase in postemployment expense was primarily the result of $6 million of Radiant acquisition related severance costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $231 million in the third quarter of 2011 as compared to $173 million in the third quarter of 2010 . As a percentage of revenue, these expenses were 16.5% in the third quarter of 2011 compared to 14.3% in the third quarter of 2010 . Pension costs included in selling, general, and administrative expenses were $18 million in the third quarter of 2011 as compared to $17 million in the third quarter of 2010 . Selling, general, and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2011 also included $33 million of acquisition related costs, and in the third quarter of 2010 , they included $6 million of incremental costs related to the relocation of the Company's global headquarters and a $6 million gain related to the sale of an office building in France. After considering these items, selling, general and administrative expenses remained fairly consistent as a percentage of revenue.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses were $44 million in the third quarter of 2011 as compared to $39 million in the third quarter of 2010 . As a percentage of revenue, these costs were 3.1% in the third quarter of 2011 as compared to 3.2% in the third quarter of 2010 . Pension costs included in research and development expenses were $7 million in the third quarter of 2011 as compared to $5 million in the third quarter of 2010 . After considering these items, research and development expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased from 2.8% in in the third quarter of 2010 to 2.6% in in the third quarter of 2011 primarily due to the continued focus on overall cost containment.

Interest and Other Expense Items

Interest expense was $3 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared to no interest expense in the third quarter of 2010 . The interest expense recognized in the third quarter of 2011 is related to borrowings under the Company's secured credit facility. Other expense, net was $1 million in the third quarter of 2011 and 2010 .

Table of Contents

Provision for Income Taxes

Income tax provisions for interim (quarterly) periods are based on estimated annual income tax rates calculated separately from the effect of significant or unusual items. Income tax represented a benefit of $1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to a benefit of $45 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 . The decrease in the income tax benefits in the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the prior year period was primarily due to the release of a $40 million valuation allowance in the three months ended September 30, 2010 that was no longer required on specific deferred tax assets in NCR's subsidiary in Japan. Additionally, the change in tax benefit is driven by a change in pre-tax income over the prior year, the mix of jurisdictions with income and losses and changes in uncertain tax positions.

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 future periods.

Income from Discontinued Operations

During the third quarter of 2011 , NCR did not recognize any income from discontinued operations. Income from discontinued operations of $8 million, or $5 million, net of tax, in the third quarter of 2010 was primarily related to insurance recoveries from the Fox River environmental matter.

Revenue and Operating Income by Segment

As described in Note 1, “Basis of Presentation,” and Note 10, “Segment Information and Concentrations,” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, effective January 1, 2011, NCR reorganized its businesses and the management thereof to a line of business model, changing from the previous functional geographic model. In order to align the Company's external reporting of its financial results with this organizational change, the Company modified its segment reporting. The Company now manages and reports its businesses in the following five segments:

•

Financial Services - We offer solutions to enable customers in the financial services industry to reduce costs, generate new revenue streams and enhance customer loyalty. These solutions include a comprehensive line of ATM and payment processing hardware and software, and related installation, maintenance, and managed and professional services. We also offer a complete line of printer consumables.

•


•	Entertainment - We offer solutions that provide the consumer the ability to rent or buy movies at their convenience through self-service kiosks which we own and operate. This segment operates primarily in North America.

•

Emerging Industries - We offer maintenance and managed and professional services for third-party computer hardware provided to select manufacturers, primarily in the telecommunications industry, who value and leverage our global service capability. Also included in the Emerging Industries segment are solutions designed to enhance the customer experience for the travel and gaming and healthcare industries, including self-service kiosks, as well as related installation, maintenance, and managed and professional services.

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 items (described below) from segment operating income, consistent with the manner by which management reviews each segment, evaluates performance, and reports our segment results under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (otherwise known as 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.

Table of Contents

The effect of pension expense on segment operating income, which was $62 million in the third quarter of 2011 and $50 million in the third quarter of 2010 , has been excluded from the operating income for each reporting segment presented below. Additionally, we have excluded other significant, non-recurring items from our segment operating results. Our segment results are reconciled to total Company results reported under GAAP in Note 10, “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 due to its significance during the quarter.

Financial Services Segment

The following table presents the Financial Services revenue and segment operating income for the three months ended September 30 :



	Three months ended September 30
In millions	2011	2010
Revenue	$770	$655
Operating income	$81	$63
Operating income as a percentage of revenue	10.5%	9.6%

Financial Services revenue increased 18% during the third quarter of 2011 as compared to the third quarter of 2010 . Revenue growth was primarily generated from higher product volumes and services revenue in the North America, Europe, and South Asia Pacific theaters, higher product volumes in the CLA theater and higher services revenues in the BICMEA theater. Foreign currency fluctuations favorably impacted the quarter-over-quarter revenue comparison by 6%.

Operating income was $81 million in the third quarter of 2011 as compared to $63 million in the third quarter of 2010 . The improvement in the Financial Services operating income was driven by higher product volumes and services revenue and lower service delivery costs.

Retail Solutions Segment

The following table presents the Retail Solutions revenue and segment operating income for the three months ended September 30 :



	Three months ended September 30
In millions	2011	2010
Revenue	$461	$430
Operating income	$22	$25
Operating income as a percentage of revenue	4.8%	5.8%

Retail Solutions revenue increased 7% during the third quarter of 2011 as compared to the third quarter of 2010 . The increase in revenue was primarily driven by higher product sales and services revenue in the North America and South Asia Pacific theaters, and higher services revenue in the Japan-Korea theater. This growth was partially offset by declines in the Europe theater attributable to lower product sales. Foreign currency fluctuations positively impacted the quarter-over-quarter revenue comparison by 4%.

Operating income was $22 million in the third quarter of 2011 as compared to $25 million in the third quarter of 2010 . The slight decrease in the Retail Solutions operating income was primarily due to a favorable shift in product and services mix slightly offset by the negative impact of higher paper prices and increased corporate allocations.

Revenue

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010 , revenue increased 12% due to higher volumes for product sales and growth in services revenue in the North America, BICMEA and South Asia Pacific theaters, higher services revenue in the Europe theater and higher product sales in the CLA theater. The acquisition of Radiant also led to an incremental increase in product sales and services revenue in the North America theater. Foreign currency fluctuations favorably impacted the year-over-year comparison by 5%. Our product revenue increased 13% and our services revenue increased 11% period-over-period.

Revenue in the North America theater increased primarily due to growth in products and services in the financial services, retail solutions, and hospitality and specialty retail lines of business as well as growth in the entertainment line of business. Revenue in the BICMEA theater increased due to growth in products and services in the financial services and retail solutions lines of

business. Revenue in the South Asia Pacific theater increased due to growth in products and services in the retail solutions line of business and growth in services in the financial services line of business. Revenue in the Europe theater increased primarily due to growth in products and services in the financial services line of business and growth in services in the retail solutions line of business. Revenue in the CLA theater increased primarily due to growth in products and services in the financial services line of business.

Gross Margin

Gross margin as a percentage of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was 20.3% compared to 19.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 . Product gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was 18.9% compared to 20.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 . The decrease in product gross margin was primarily due to an unfavorable sales mix and losses in the entertainment line of business. Services gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was 21.6% compared to 19.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 . Services gross margin was negatively impacted by $14 million in higher pension expense, or 0.7% as a percentage of services revenue, period over period. After considering the effect of pension expense, the increase in services gross margin was due to lower labor and service delivery costs and continued focus on overall cost containment coupled with a favorable mix of service offerings.

Effects of Pension, Postemployment, and Postretirement Benefit Plans

Gross margin and operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were impacted by certain employee benefit plans as shown below:



	Nine months ended September 30
In millions	2011	2010
Pension expense	$166	$156
Postemployment expense	35	32
Postretirement benefit	(10)	(3)
Total expense	$191	$185

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 , NCR incurred $166 million of pension expense compared to $156 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 . The increase in pension expense was primarily due to increased amortization of actuarial loss due to lower discount rates. The increase in postemployment expense was primarily a result of $6 million of Radiant acquisition related severance costs. The increase in postretirement benefit is primarily related to an increase in the level of amortization of prior service benefit associated with changes in benefits provided under the Company's previously closed U.S. Post-65 Retiree Medical Plan, which was announced in December 2010.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $576 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $514 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 . As a percentage of revenue, these expenses were 15.1% in the first nine months of 2011 and 2010. Pension costs included in selling, general, and administrative expenses were $50 million in 2011 as compared to $51 million in 2010 . Selling, general, and administrative expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 also included $34 million in acquisition related costs, and in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 included $18 million of incremental costs related to the relocation of the Company's global headquarters and a $6 million gain on the sale of an office building in France. After considering these items, selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased from 13.2% in 2010 to 12.9% in 2011, primarily due to continued focus on overall cost containment.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses were $126 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $117 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 . As a percentage of revenue, these costs were 3.3% in the first nine months of 2011 as compared to 3.4% in the first nine months of 2010 . Pension costs included in research and development expenses were $18 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $19 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 . After considering this item, research and development expenses remained fairly consistent as a percentage of revenue.

Interest and Other Expense Items

Interest expense was $4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The interest expense recognized in the the nine months ended September 30, 2011 is primarily related to borrowings under the Company's secured credit facility. Other income, net was $4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 . Other income, net in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 includes income from the sale of certain patents and a benefit of $3 million from final settlement of a litigation matter.

Provision for Income Taxes

Income tax provisions for interim (quarterly) periods are based on estimated annual income tax rates calculated separately from the effect of significant or unusual items. Income tax represented expense of $8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to a benefit of $35 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 . The increase in the income tax expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the prior year period was primarily due to the release of a $40 million valuation allowance in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 that was no longer required on specific deferred tax assets in NCR's subsidiary in Japan. Additionally, the change in tax expense is driven by a change in pre-tax income over the prior year, the mix of jurisdictions with income and losses and changes in uncertain tax positions.

Income from Discontinued Operations

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 , income from discontinued operations of $1 million, net of tax, included an accrual for litigation fees related to the Kalamazoo environmental matter, an accrual for anticipated future disposal costs related to an environmental matter in Japan, and the impact of the closure of NCR's EFT payment processing business in Canada offset by favorable changes in uncertain tax benefits attributable to Teradata. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010 , income from discontinued operations of $16 million , net of tax, was primarily related to insurance recoveries from the Fox River environmental matter.

Revenue and Operating Income by Segment

The description of our operating segments and the exclusion of certain items from the presentation of operating income for those segments is discussed in this MD&A under "Revenue and Operating Income by Segment" for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010 .

The effect of pension expense on segment operating income, which was $166 million in the first nine months of 2011 and $156 million in the first nine months of 2010 , has been excluded from the operating income for each reporting segment presented below.

In millions	2011	2010
Revenue	$280	$256
Operating income	$51	$40
Operating income as a percentage of revenue	18.2%	15.6%

Emerging Industries revenue increased 9% during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010 . The increase in revenue was driven primarily by higher services revenue in the Europe, North America and BICMEA theaters. Foreign currency fluctuations favorably impacted the year-over-year revenue comparison by 5%.

Operating income was $51 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $40 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 . The increase in the Emerging Industries operating income was primarily due to improved services mix and lower service delivery costs.

Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Capital Resources

In the nine months ended September 30, 2011 , cash provided by operating activities increased $40 million from $61 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $101 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 . Cash flow from operations increased due to improvements in working capital offset by acquisition related transaction costs.

NCR’s management uses a non-GAAP measure called “free cash flow,” which we define 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, and additions to capitalized software, to assess the financial performance of the Company. 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. The components used to calculate free cash flow are GAAP measures that are taken directly from the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. 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, repurchase 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. 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 nine months

Table of Contents

ended September 30 :



In millions	2011	2010
Net cash provided by operating activities	$101	$61
Less: Expenditures for property, plant and equipment, net of grant reimbursements	(83)	(130)
Less: Additions to capitalized software	(45)	(43)
Net cash (used in) provided by discontinued operations	(14)	6
Free cash used (non-GAAP)	$(41)	$(106)

The decrease in net capital expenditures was due to a planned reduction in investments in the entertainment line of business. The cash used in discontinued operations was attributable to remediation payments made associated with the Fox River environmental matter, which were offset by a smaller amount of insurance recoveries in 2011 as compared to the prior year period.

Our investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 included $1,087 million of cash outflow, net of cash acquired, primarily related to the acquisition of Radiant and $2 million in proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment as compared to $38 million in proceeds for the sale of an office building in France and $8 million in other investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Our financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 included $70 million for the repurchase of approximately 3.6 million shares of NCR common stock, borrowings under the term credit facility of $700 million, borrowings under the new revolving credit facility of $400 million offset by repayments of $50 million, proceeds from employee stock plans of $15 million and debt issuance costs of $28 million. Our financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 included $20 million for the repurchase of approximately 1.5 million shares of NCR common stock, the repayment of $4 million in short-term borrowings as well as cash inflows from employee stock plans of $7 million.

As of September 30, 2011 , our cash and cash equivalents totaled $341 million and our long-term debt was $1.06 billion . 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 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, or otherwise comply with the terms of our credit facilities, we may be required to seek additional financing alternatives. In addition, as described in Note 6, “Employee Benefit Plans,” of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we expect to make pension, postemployment, and postretirement plan contributions of approximately $185 million in 2011 . During the first quarter of 2010, the Company completed a comprehensive analysis of its capital allocation strategy, with specific focus on its approach to pension management. As a result of this analysis, the Company commenced a plan to substantially reduce future volatility in the value of assets held by its U.S. pension plan by rebalancing the asset allocation to a portfolio entirely composed of fixed income assets by the end of 2012. We believe that we have sufficient liquidity based on our current cash position, cash flows from operations and existing financing to meet our expected pension, postemployment, and postretirement plan contributions, remediation payments related to the Fox River environmental matter, debt servicing obligations, and our operating requirements for the next twelve months.

Contractual and Other Commercial Commitments

Our August 2011 financing transaction executed in conjunction with the acquisition of Radiant has significantly altered our contractual and other commercial commitments related to debt obligations and interest on debt obligations previously described in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 . The following table outlines our debt obligations and interest on debt obligations as of September 30, 2011 with projected cash payments in the years shown:



In millions	Total Amounts		2011		2012 - 2013		2014 - 2015		2016 and thereafter

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management has reassessed the critical accounting policies as disclosed in our 2010 Form 10-K and determined that changes to our critical accounting policies in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were limited to the adoption of revenue recognition guidance as described in Note 2, "Summary of Accounting Policies" of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. There were no significant changes in our estimates associated with those policies.

NCR does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.


Item 3.	QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. We use a variety of measures to monitor and manage these risks, including derivative financial instruments. 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. 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 contracts. This is primarily done through the hedging of foreign currency denominated inter-company inventory purchases by the marketing units and the foreign currency denominated inputs to the manufacturing units. All of these transactions are firmly committed or forecasted. These foreign exchange contracts are designated as highly effective cash flow hedges. The gains or losses are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income and recognized in the determination of income when the underlying hedged transaction impacts earnings. As we hedge inventory purchases, the ultimate gain or loss from the derivative contract is recorded in cost of products when the inventory is sold to an unrelated third party.

Table of Contents

We have exposure to approximately 50 functional currencies. The U.S. Dollar was slightly weaker in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010 based on comparable weighted averages for our functional currencies. This had a favorable impact of 5% on third quarter 2011 revenue versus third quarter 2010 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.

Our strategy is to hedge, on behalf of certain subsidiaries, a portion of our 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 length of time hedge contracts are entered into may vary significantly. In the longer term (longer than the hedging period of up to 15 months), the subsidiaries are still subject to the impacts of foreign currency fluctuations. In addition, the subsidiary results are still subject to any impact of translating the functional currency results to U.S. Dollars. When hedging certain foreign currency transactions of a long-term investment nature (net investments in foreign operations), the gains and losses are recorded in the currency translation adjustment component of stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses on other foreign exchange contracts are recognized in earnings as exchange rates change.

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 result in a corresponding increase or decrease of $13 million as of September 30, 2011 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.

Our cash and cash equivalents are not subject to significant interest rate risk due to the short maturities of these instruments. As of September 30, 2011 , the carrying value of our cash and cash equivalents approximated fair value.

At September 30, 2011, our long-term debt under our secured credit facility bears interest at variable rates. Accordingly, our earnings and after-tax cash flow are affected by changes in interest rates. Assuming the current level of borrowings at variable rates and assuming a one percentage point change in the average interest rate under these borrowings, it is estimated that our interest expense and net income would have changed by $1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

In the event of an adverse change in interest rates, our management would likely take actions, in addition to the interest rate swap agreement discussed in Note 14, "Subsequent Events" of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, to mitigate our exposure. However, due to the uncertainty of the actions that would be taken and their possible effects, additional analysis is not possible at this time. Further, such analysis would not consider the effects of the change in the level of overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment.

We utilize non-exchange traded financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward 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. Also, we do not enter into hedges for speculative purposes.

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 September 30, 2011 , we did not have any significant concentration of credit risk related to financial instruments.

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 ensure 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 ensure 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 third quarter of 2011 , 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 September 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information


Item 1.	LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The information required by this item is included in Note 7, "Commitments and Contingencies," of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this quarterly report and is incorporated herein by reference.


Item 1A.	RISK FACTORS

Part I, Item 1A ("Risk Factors") of the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K includes a discussion of the material risks related to the Company's business. The information presented below updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors and other information disclosed in our 2010 Form 10-K. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously described in our 2010 Form 10-K.

Indebtedness The terms of our secured credit facility include financial and other covenants that could restrict or limit our financial and business operations.

Our secured credit facility includes restrictive covenants that, subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, restrict or limit our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to, among other things:


•	incur additional indebtedness;


•	create liens on, sell or otherwise dispose of our assets;


•	engage in certain fundamental corporate changes or changes to our business activities;


•	make investments in others;


•	engage in sale-leaseback or hedging transactions;


•	pay dividends or make similar distributions on our capital stock;


•	repay other indebtedness;


•	engage in certain affiliate transactions; and


•	enter into agreements that restrict our ability to create liens, pay dividends or make loan repayments.

The secured credit facility also contains certain affirmative covenants and requires us to comply with financial coverage ratios regarding both our consolidated interest expense and our consolidated debt relative to our consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the secured credit facility).

These covenants and restrictions could affect our ability to operate our business, and may limit our ability to react to market conditions or take advantage of potential business opportunities as they arise. Additionally, our ability to comply with these covenants may be affected by events beyond our control, including general economic and credit conditions and industry downturns.

If we fail to comply with these covenants and are unable to obtain a waiver or amendment, an event of default would result, and the lenders could, among other things, declare outstanding amounts due and payable, refuse to lend additional amounts to us, and require deposit of cash collateral in respect of outstanding letters of credit. If we were unable to repay or pay the amounts due, the lenders could, among other things, proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure such indebtedness, which includes equity interests of certain of our domestic and foreign subsidiaries.

Our level of indebtedness could limit our financial and operating activities, and adversely affect our ability to incur additional debt to fund future needs.

At September 30, 2011, we had $1.06 billion of total indebtedness outstanding, including $1.05 billion outstanding under our secured credit facility. This amount of indebtedness could:


•	require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow to the payment of principal and interest, thereby reducing the funds available for operations and future business opportunities;


•	limit our ability to borrow additional money if needed for other purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, acquisitions and general corporate or other purposes, on satisfactory terms or at all;

Table of Contents


•	limit our ability to adjust to changing economic, business and competitive conditions;


•	place us at a competitive disadvantage with competitors who may have less indebtedness and other obligations or greater access to financing;


•	make us more vulnerable to an increase in interest rates, a downturn in our operating performance or a decline in general economic conditions; and


•	make us more susceptible to changes in credit ratings, which could impact our ability to obtain financing in the future and increase the cost of such financing.

If compliance with our debt obligations under our secured credit facility materially limits our financial or operating activities, or hinders our ability to adapt to changing industry conditions, we may lose market share, our revenue may decline and our operating results may be negatively affected.

Our cash flows may not be sufficient to service our indebtedness, and if we are unable to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness, we may be required to seek other financing alternatives, which may not be successful.

Our ability to make timely payments of principal and interest on our debt obligations under our secured credit facility depends on our ability to generate positive cash flows from operations, which is subject to general economic conditions, competitive pressures and certain financial, business and other factors beyond our control. If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to make these payments, we may be required to seek additional financing sources, reduce or delay capital expenditures, sell assets or operations or refinance our indebtedness. These actions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we may not be able to take any of these actions, and, even if successful, these actions may not permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations. Our ability to restructure or refinance the debt under our senior credit facility will depend on, among other things, the condition of the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. There can be no assurance that we will be able to restructure or refinance any of our indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms or at all. If we cannot make scheduled payments on the debt under our senior credit facility, we will be in default and the lenders could declare all outstanding principal and interest to be due and payable, in which case we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation or required to substantially restructure or alter our business operations or debt obligations.

Borrowings under our senior credit facility bear interest at a variable rate, which subjects us to interest rate risk, which could cause our debt service obligations to increase significantly.

All of our borrowings under our senior credit facility are at variable rates of interest and expose us to interest rate risk. If interest rates increase, our debt service obligations on this variable rate indebtedness would increase even though the amount borrowed remained the same. We are party to a forward-starting interest rate swap agreement that fixes the interest rate, based on LIBOR, on a portion of our LIBOR-indexed floating rate borrowings through August 22, 2016, with a notional amount of $560 million that amortizes to $341 over the term of the agreement. Although we may enter into additional interest rate swaps to reduce interest rate volatility, we cannot provide assurances that we will be able to do so or that such swaps will be effective.


Item 2.	UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

In October 1999, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program that provided for the repurchase of up to $250 million of its common stock, with no expiration from the date of authorization. On October 31, 2007 and July 28, 2010, the Board authorized the repurchase of an additional $250 million and $210 million, respectively, under this share repurchase program. In December 2000, the Board approved a systematic share repurchase program, with no expiration from the date of authorization, to be funded by the proceeds from the purchase of shares under the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the exercise of stock options, for the purpose of offsetting the dilutive effects of the employee stock purchase plan and outstanding options. As of September 30, 2011 , approximately $179 million and $7 million remained available for further repurchases of the Company’s common stock under the 1999 and 2000 Board of Directors share repurchase programs, respectively.

During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock. The Company occasionally purchases vested restricted stock shares from Section 16 officers at the current market price to cover their withholding taxes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, 259 shares were purchased at an average price of $17.99 per share.
