NCR Atleos Receives Credit Rating Upgrade
August 23 2024 - 11:14AM
Business Wire
NCR Atleos Corporation (NYSE: NATL) (“Atleos”) reports that
Moody’s Ratings (Moody’s) has upgraded its credit rating, which
Atleos believes reflects solid strategic execution and financial
performance since the separation from NCR Corporation in October
2023, coupled with the strong free cash flow generation from its
businesses.
Moody’s recently published a Ratings Action stating that Moody’s
has upgraded NCR Atleos’ Corporate Family Rating to B1 from B2 and
upgraded the rating for Atleos’ senior secured first lien debt
instruments (including term loan A, term loan B, senior secured
notes and revolving credit facility) to B1 from B2. Moody’s noted
that the upgrade to B1 reflects Atleos’ improved leverage profile,
solid free cash flow and commitment to use excess cash flow to
reduce debt.
“We are pleased to see Moody’s acknowledge the improving credit
profile and progress Atleos has made in our first year as an
independent public company,” said Paul Campbell, Chief Financial
Officer for Atleos. “As our strategy to leverage our existing
installed base of hardware to generate additional service, software
and transaction revenue streams continues to build momentum, we
expect to drive strong incremental earnings and free cash flow that
should further enhance the Company’s financial profile.”

Forward-Looking
Statements
NCR Atleos Corporation (“NCR Atleos,” “Atleos” or the “Company”)
cautions that comments made during this presentation and in these
materials contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Act”). Forward-looking
statements use words such as “estimate,” “expect,” “target,”
“anticipate,” “outlook,” “intend,” “plan,” “confident,” “believe,”
“will,” “would,” “potential,” “positioned,” “may,” and words of
similar meaning, as well as other words or expressions referencing
future events, conditions or circumstances. We intend for these
forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor
provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Act.
Statements that describe or relate to the Company's plans, targets,
goals, intentions, strategies, or financial outlook, and statements
that do not relate to historical or current fact, are examples of
forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements
in these materials include, without limitation, statements
regarding the future commercial or financial performance of the
Company following the separation from NCR Voyix Corporation
(“Voyix” or “NCR Voyix”), and value creation and ability to
innovate and drive growth generally as a result of such
transaction; the expected financial performance of the Company for
2024; the Company's net leverage ratio targets for year-end 2024
and long-term; our expected areas of focus and strategy to drive
growth and profitability and create long-term stockholder value,
including key performance indicator targets and expectations for
2024; the Company's focus on advancing strategic growth initiatives
and transforming the Company into a software-led ATM as a service
company with a higher mix of recurring revenue streams, including
the Company's focus on driving efficiencies and standardizing
cloud-native service offerings; statements regarding redeployment
priorities, and future capital allocation priorities and our
expected free cash flow for 2024; and our expectations of NCR
Atleos' ability to deliver increased value to customers and
stockholders.
Forward-looking statements are based on our current beliefs,
expectations and assumptions, which may not prove to be accurate,
and involve a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties,
many of which are out of the Company's control, including the
failure of NCR Atleos to achieve some or all of the expected
strategic benefits or opportunities expected from the spin-off,
that NCR Atleos may incur material costs and expenses as a result
of the spin-off, that NCR Atleos has no pre-spin operating history
as an independent, publicly traded company, and NCR Atleos'
historical and pro forma financial information is not necessarily
representative of the results that it would have achieved as a
separate, publicly traded company and therefore may not be a
reliable indicator of its future results, NCR Atleos' obligation to
indemnify NCR Voyix pursuant to the agreements entered into
connection with the spin-off (including with respect to material
taxes) and the risk NCR Voyix may not fulfill any obligations to
indemnify NCR Atleos under such agreements, that under applicable
tax law, NCR Atleos may be liable for certain tax liabilities of
NCR Voyix following the spin-off if NCR Voyix were to fail to pay
such taxes, that agreements binding on NCR Atleos restrict it from
taking certain actions after the distribution that could adversely
impact the intended U.S. federal income tax treatment of the
distribution and related transactions, potential liabilities
arising out of state and federal fraudulent conveyance laws, the
fact that NCR Atleos may receive worse commercial terms from
third-parties for services it presently receives from NCR Voyix,
that after the spin-off, certain of NCR Atleos' executive officers
and directors may have actual or potential conflicts of interest
because of their previous positions at NCR Voyix, potential
difficulties in maintaining relationships with key personnel, NCR
Atleos will not be able to rely on the earnings, assets or cash
flow of NCR Voyix and NCR Voyix will not provide funds to finance
NCR Atleos' working capital or other cash requirements.
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future
performance, and there are a number of important factors that could
cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from the
results contemplated by such forward-looking statements. As you
read and consider this presentation, you should understand that
these statements are not guarantees of performance or results.
Although the Company believes that assumptions underlying the
forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, should
one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should
underlying assumptions prove incorrect, any of these statements
included herein may prove to be inaccurate. In light of the
significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking
statements included herein, the inclusion of such information
should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other
person that the results or conditions described in such statements
or our objectives and plans will be achieved. You should not place
undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as
of the date they are made. New risk factors and uncertainties may
emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to
predict all risk factors and uncertainties. Additional information
concerning these and other factors can be found in the Company's
