"Our third quarter featured strong execution and performance in addition to two strategic transactions that will help shape NCR's future," said Bill Nuti, chairman and CEO of NCR. "We are winning business across our core and emerging verticals and exited the quarter with backlog at historic levels. We also continue to expand our services business through increased attach rates both in traditional and emerging markets, the latter evidenced by an important new ATM services contract with one of China's largest banks."
"During the quarter we completed the acquisition of Radiant Systems Inc., creating a third core solutions vertical in hospitality and specialty retail that offers immediate growth opportunity and accelerates our strategic objective of migrating to a software-enabled and services-led business model. Integration is well underway, and early results are fully consistent with our expectations. Our second strategic transaction, announced during the quarter and closed shortly after the quarter-end, is our alliance with Scopus Tecnologia, a subsidiary of the major Brazilian financial group Banco Bradesco. The alliance, and the accompanying ATM supply agreement with Bradesco, significantly and quickly expand our presence in the key Brazilian ATM market, with an initial order for 6,000 ATMs. Together, these transactions, along with a demand environment that remains healthy around the world, position NCR for solid 2011 performance while increasing confidence in our longer-term growth outlook."
