Business Review
Management commentary
"During the first quarter, we delivered solid results despite a challenging comparison to the same period last year, during which the effects of the global recession had yet to impact our results," said Thomas W. Swidarski, Diebold president and chief executive officer. "We exceeded our internal expectations during the quarter, as some business closed sooner than expected and we benefitted from a more profitable segment mix. As a result, we have gained more confidence in our full-year outlook and are reaffirming our guidance for both earnings and revenue for 2010.
"Strategically, we will continue to focus on developing emerging solutions and building our infrastructure in key growth markets around the world," Swidarski continued. "At the same time, the services-related business in our industry remains a key focus for us. In addition to growing service revenue, we continued to improve service profitability during the quarter – and are on track to achieve our goal to improve service gross margin for the third consecutive year. We recognize that our defining competitive advantage lies in Diebold's unmatched ability to deliver the full range of service, support and software solutions that surround ATM-related technology, make it work reliably, at lower costs and with the flexibility to meet diverse customer demands. That's the driving force behind our service strategy emphasis – and it's our key to a successful future."
Bradley C. Richardson, executive vice president and chief financial officer, said, "Our balance sheet remains strong, and I am very pleased with the year-over-year working capital improvements we made during the quarter. I am confident that the focus and ongoing initiatives for working capital improvement will continue to generate positive results through the remainder of the year and increase our ability to invest in growth opportunities and return value to shareholders in the form of dividends and modest share repurchases."
First Quarter Orders (constant currency)
After coming off a particularly strong order period in the fourth quarter 2009, global product and services orders decreased 9% compared with the prior-year period. Global financial self-service orders decreased 10% against a difficult comparison with the first quarter 2009, as well as moderating from growth in excess of 40% in the fourth quarter 2009. Orders in Asia Pacific decreased 26% as that region appears to be returning to a more typical seasonality pattern, and experienced a very strong fourth quarter 2009 in which orders increased more than 50%. These patterns are indicative of the variable nature of orders, particularly in Asia Pacific.

The company's management believes excluding restructuring charges, and non-routine expenses and income from operating margins is an indication of the company's baseline performance before gains, losses, or other charges that are considered by management to be outside the company's core operating results. The exclusion of these items permits evaluation and comparison of results for the company's core business operations and it is on this basis that the company's management internally assesses the company's performance. |
|||||||
Revenue
Total revenue for the first quarter 2010 was down 6%, including a net positive currency impact of 5%, primarily as a result of North America where the completion of large deposit automation deployments by major national banks in 2009 negatively impacted the revenue comparison in the quarter.
Gross Margin
Total gross margin for the first quarter 2010 was 25.5%, an increase of 2.3 percentage points from the first quarter of 2009. The increase in total gross margin was attributable to continued productivity gains and cost-reduction measures in the company's service operations.
Operating Expense
Total operating expense as a percentage of revenue for the first quarter 2010 was 19.0%, an increase of 2.6 percentage points from the first quarter of 2009. Operating expense as a percentage of revenue was negatively impacted by lower revenue in the quarter, increased investment in research and development, and certain costs associated with the previously announced job eliminations in the company's North America operations and corporate functions.
Operating Profit
Operating profit was 6.6% of net sales in the first quarter 2010, a decrease of 0.2 percentage points from the first quarter 2009.
Income from Continuing Operations, net of tax (attributable to Diebold)
Income from continuing operations, net of tax, was $24.9 million or 4.0% of revenue in the first quarter 2010, an increase of 185%, or 2.7 percentage points from the first quarter 2009. Included in the 2010 results are non-routine income of $3.2 million in expense recovery and reimbursement from the company's D&O insurance carriers, as well as restructuring charges of $0.9 million. Income from continuing operations in the first quarter of 2009 includes the $25 million reserve related to the agreement in principle with the staff of the SEC, non-routine income of $7.2 million in expense recovery and reimbursement from the company's D&O insurance carriers, as well as restructuring charges of $3.2 million and $1.0 million in non-routine expenses.
Taxes on Income from continuing operations attributable to Diebold
First quarter taxes on income from continuing operations attributable to Diebold were $9.6 million, resulting in a first quarter tax rate of 27.9%.
Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and Liquidity
The company's net debt* was $178.0 million at March 31, 2010, an increase of $112.7 million from December 31, 2009 and a reduction of $108.1 million from March 31, 2009. The company's net debt to capital ratio was 15% at March 31, 2010, 6% at December 31, 2009, and 24% at March 31, 2009. Net cash used in operating activities was $55.5 million in the first quarter 2010, compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $19.5 million in the first quarter 2009. Free cash use* in the first quarter 2010 was $66.6 million, compared with free cash flow* of $7.0 million in the first quarter 2009.
In the first quarter 2010, Diebold repurchased 337,000 of the company's common shares for approximately $10 million under its repurchase plan. The company has approximately 2.6 million shares remaining under its existing board authorization.
Restructuring charges and discontinued operations
The company incurred pre-tax restructuring charges of $1.1 million, or $0.01 per share, in the first quarter of 2010. These charges were largely related to severance costs from the previously announced reorganization of the company's North America and corporate functions.
All results from operations reported today, including prior periods, reflect Premier Election Solutions and the company's EMEA-based enterprise security operations as discontinued operations. The company recorded a first quarter 2010 loss from discontinued operations of $1.0 million, net of tax. This compares to a loss from discontinued operations of $7.1 million, net of tax, in the first quarter 2009.
Venezuelan currency devaluation
On January 8, 2010, the Venezuelan government announced the devaluation of its currency, the bolivar, and the establishment of a two-tier exchange structure. Management has determined that it is unlikely that the company will be able to transact business under the two-tier exchange structure. As a result, the company is remeasuring its balance sheet and statement of operations using a parallel market rate. The impact of this adjustment was a decrease of $6.5 million to the company's cash balance. Earnings for the first quarter were negatively impacted by approximately $0.04 per share.
All gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of our financial statements are recorded in the statement of income. In the future, if we convert bolivares at a rate other than the parallel market rate, we may realize gains that would be recorded in the statement of income.
Full-year 2010 outlook
The following statements are based on current expectations. These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. These statements do not include the potential impact of any future acquisitions, disposals or other business combinations.

Notes for Non-GAAP Measures
1. Reconciliation of diluted GAAP EPS to non-GAAP EPS from continuing operations measures: |

Q1 2009 |
||
Total EPS from continuing operations (GAAP measure) |
$0.37 |

(0.04) |
(0.11) |
|
Total EPS (non-GAAP measure) |
$0.34 |
$0.46 |
|
The company's management believes excluding restructuring charges, and non-routine expenses and income is useful to investors because it provides an overall understanding of the company's historical financial performance and future prospects. Management believes EPS (non-GAAP) from continuing operations is an indication of the company's base-line performance before gains, losses or other charges that are considered by management to be outside the company's core operating results. Exclusion of these items permits evaluation and comparison of results for the company's core business operations, and it is on this basis that management internally assesses the company's performance. |
|||
2. Free cash flow is calculated as follows: |
|||
Q1 2010 |
Q1 2009 |
||
Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities (GAAP measure) |
$(55,470) |
$19,537 |
|
Capital expenditures |
(11,103) |
(12,544) |
|
Free cash (use) flow (non-GAAP measure) |
$(66,573) |
$6,993 |
|
The company's management believes that free cash flow is useful to investors because it is a meaningful indicator of cash generated from operating activities that is available for the execution of its business strategy, including service of debt principal, dividends, share repurchase and acquisitions. Free cash flow is utilized to fund our dividends, as well as mandatory debt payments and other investment opportunities. Free cash flow is not an indicator of residual cash available for discretionary spending, because it does not take into account mandatory debt service or other non-discretionary spending requirements that are deducted in the calculation of free cash flow. |

3. Other income/(expense), net summary: |

First quarter 2010 foreign exchange losses were largely related to the Venezuela currency devaluation. First quarter of 2009 other income/(expense) includes the $25 million reserve related to the agreement in principle with the staff of the SEC. |
|||
4. Net (debt) is calculated as follows: |
||||
3/31/2010 |
12/31/2009 |
3/31/2009 |
||
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments (GAAP measure) |

$ (65,336) |
$ (286,106) |
|
The company's management believes that given the net debt, the significant cash, cash equivalents and other investments on its balance sheet, that net cash against outstanding debt is a meaningful debt calculation. |
