NORTH CANTON, Ohio, Feb. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Diebold, Incorporated (NYSE: DBD) today reported fourth quarter 2009 income from continuing operations attributable to Diebold, net of tax, of $7.9 million, or $0.12 per share.  These amounts are down 55% and 54%, respectively, from the fourth quarter 2008.  Fourth quarter 2009 revenue was $724.9 million, down 8% from fourth quarter 2008.

Full-year 2009 income from continuing operations attributable to Diebold, net of tax, was $73.1 million, or $1.09 per share, both down 32% and 33% respectively from 2008.  Full-year 2009 revenue was $2,718.3 million, down 12% from 2008.  

Non-GAAP earnings per share* from continuing operations attributable to Diebold, in the fourth quarter 2009 were $0.29, down 33% from fourth quarter 2008.  Full-year 2009 non-GAAP earnings per share* were $1.65, down 39% from the same period in 2008.  

Business Review

Management commentary

“We delivered solid operational results during the fourth quarter, despite a number of challenges the financial industry continues to face,” said Thomas W. Swidarski, Diebold president and chief executive officer.  “In addition to growth in orders and full-year cash flow, we generated improved service margins during the quarter -- representing our 10th consecutive quarter of year-over-year improved service gross margin.”  

Swidarski continued, “While I am encouraged by the strong fourth quarter order growth we generated across most geographies, our business related to bank branch construction in North America remains especially challenging and will likely not return to historical norms in the near future.  To improve our ability to invest in key growth initiatives, we are realigning our organization and resources to better support our opportunities in the emerging growth markets.  Unfortunately, these changes will result in the elimination of approximately 350 full-time jobs from our North America operations and corporate functions.  These reductions will be largely completed by mid-February.  As always, these are extremely difficult decisions, but necessary to ensure we’re in a position of strength in our industry.”  

Swidarski concluded, “Despite these actions, we will continue to accelerate our investment in developing new solutions and growing our infrastructure in the emerging growth markets as well as in the services business globally.  At the same time, North America remains our key market, especially as customers begin planning deposit automation deployment and investing in services that allow them to focus more on their core business.  We will maintain our strong leadership position by leveraging our unmatched services capability to deliver higher value solutions in these areas to our customer base.”  

Bradley C. Richardson, Diebold executive vice president and chief financial officer, said, “Since joining Diebold in November, our associates have made my transition into the company seamless, which has enabled me to make an immediate impact to several facets of the business.  In terms of our fourth quarter performance, I’m pleased with the progress we continued to make on improving our working capital, which has resulted in exceptional year-to-date free cash flow and a significant reduction in net debt.  Working capital will continue to be a key point of emphasis for us moving forward, as improvements in this area enhance our ability to invest in future growth opportunities as well as returning cash to shareholders in the form of dividends and modest share repurchases.”

Fourth Quarter Orders (constant currency)

Total product and services orders for financial self-service and security were up more than 20% compared with the prior-year period. Global financial self-service orders increased more than 40% compared with the fourth quarter 2008, and increased nearly 40% sequentially from the third quarter, which positions the company well for the second half of 2010.  Orders in Asia Pacific increased more than 50%. In the Americas, financial self-service orders also increased more than 50% with a double digit decline in North America more than offset by significant increases in Brazil and Latin America.  Orders in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) increased more than 20%. Security orders decreased in the low double digit range, but slightly increased sequentially from the third quarter.  This is the second consecutive quarter that security orders have increased sequentially demonstrating that the business continues to stabilize.

    The company's management believes excluding restructuring charges, non-
    routine expenses and income and impairment charges 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.

A pre-tax $2.5 million, or $0.02 per share non-cash impairment charge was recorded during the 2009 fourth quarter related to the write off of an intangible asset associated with the discontinuation of the brand name “Firstline Inc.”  In the first quarter of 2008, the company incurred a pre-tax impairment charge of $4.4 million, or $0.05 per share, related to the write down of intangible assets from the 2004 acquisition of TFE Technology.  

Operating Profit

Operating profit was 3.9% of net sales in the fourth quarter 2009, a decrease of 2.4 percentage points from the fourth quarter 2008.  

Full-year 2009 operating profit was 5.5% of revenue, a decrease of 0.4 percentage points from the comparable period of 2008.  

Income from Continuing Operations, net of tax (attributable to Diebold)

Income from continuing operations, net of tax, was $7.9 million or 1.1% of revenue in the fourth quarter 2009, a decrease of 55%, or 1.1 percentage points from the fourth quarter 2008.  Included in the 2009 results are after-tax restructuring charges of $9.8 million and after-tax, non-routine and impairment charges of $1.7 million.  Income from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2008 included after-tax restructuring charges of $8.6 million, and after-tax, non-routine charges of $2.4 million.

Full-year 2009 income from continuing operations, net of tax, was $73.1 million, or 2.7% of revenue, and $107.8 million, or 3.5% of revenue, in the comparable period of 2008.  Full-year 2009 income from continuing operations, net of tax, includes the $25 million reserve related to the agreement in principle with the staff of the SEC, $8.2 million in expense recovery and reimbursement from the company’s D&O insurance carriers, as well as after-tax restructuring charges of $17.4 million and $2.7 million in non-routine and impairment charges.  Full-year 2008 income from continuing operations, net of tax, included $32.9 million in after-tax restructuring charges, and after-tax, non-routine and impairment charges of $39.2 million.

Taxes on Income from continuing operations attributable to Diebold

Fourth quarter taxes on income from continuing operations attributable to Diebold were $22.7 million, resulting in a higher-than-expected fourth quarter tax rate of 74%, and a full-year tax rate of 37%.  The fourth quarter taxes included approximately $9 million in estimated tax provision adjustments related to prior-year periods.  In addition, results also included additional deferred tax asset valuation allowance of approximately $6 million related to one of our legal entities in Brazil.  

Due to the complex nature of the tax adjustments reflected in its fourth quarter results, the company has not had adequate time to finalize the tax adjustments described above.  Accordingly, the amounts included above are estimates and subject to change upon completion of the company’s financial statements prior to filing the 2009 annual report on form 10-K.

Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and Liquidity

The company’s net debt* was $62.9 million at December 31, 2009, a reduction of $191.3 million from December 31, 2008.  The company’s net debt to capital ratio was 6% at December 31, 2009 and 21% at December 31, 2008.  For the full-year of 2009, net cash provided by operating activities was $300.9 million at December 31, 2009, an increase of $16.2 million from December 31, 2008.  Free cash flow* in the fourth quarter 2009 was $162.3 million, a decrease of $35.3 million from the fourth quarter 2008.  For the full-year of 2009, free cash flow* was $256.6 million, an increase of $29.8 million from the full-year of 2008.  

Restructuring charges and discontinued operations

The company incurred restructuring charges of $9.8 million, or $0.15 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2009.  These charges were largely related to severance costs from the previously mentioned reorganization of the company’s North America and corporate functions.  As part of this effort, Diebold has realigned its leadership and organizational structure to better position the company to execute on profitable growth opportunities globally. A number of leadership changes associated with this restructuring have been previously announced.  

Full-year 2009 restructuring charges were $17.4 million, or $0.27 per share.

All results from operations reported today, including prior periods, reflect Premier Election Solutions as a discontinued operation.  As previously disclosed, in September, the company sold its U.S.-based elections systems business.  Likewise the company closed its EMEA-based enterprise security operations during the fourth quarter 2008.  As a result, the company recorded a fourth quarter 2009 loss from discontinued operations of ($1.9) million net of tax and a tax benefit on the sale of the U.S.-based elections systems business of $10.7 million net of tax.  This compares to a loss from discontinued operations of ($16.3) million, net of tax, in the fourth quarter 2008.  Losses from discontinued operations for the full-year, net of tax were ($10.7) million and ($19.2) million in 2009 and 2008, respectively.   For the full-year 2009, the company has also recorded a loss on the sale of the U.S.-based elections systems business of ($20.8) million net of tax.

Notes for Non-GAAP Measures

    
    
    1. Reconciliation of diluted GAAP EPS to non-GAAP EPS from continuing 
    operations measures:
    
                              Q4  2009   Q4  2008   FY 12/31/09  FY 12/31/08

    Total EPS (non-GAAP
     measure)                    $0.29      $0.43       $1.65        $2.71

    --------------               -----                  -----
    
    The company’s management believes excluding restructuring charges, non-
    routine expenses and income and impairment charges 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. The non-GAAP EPS
    does not include the impact of the prior year tax adjustments.    
    
    
    
    2. Free cash flow is calculated as follows:
    
                           Q4 2009    Q4 2008    YTD 12/31/09  YTD 12/31/08
                           -------    -------    ------------  ------------
    Net cash provided by
     operating activities
     (GAAP measure)        $178,129   $222,845      $300,852      $284,691
    ---------------------  --------   --------      --------      --------
    Capital expenditures    (15,873)   (25,295)      (44,287)      (57,932)
    --------------------    -------    -------       -------       -------
    Free cash flow (non-
     GAAP measure)         $162,256   $197,550      $256,565      $226,759
    --------------------   --------   --------      --------      --------
    
    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.)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. Net (debt) is calculated as follows:
    
                                  12/31/2009  12/31/2008  9/30/2009
                                  ----------  ----------  ---------
    Cash, cash equivalents and
     short-term investments
     (GAAP measure)                 $505,868    $362,823   $385,022
    ---------------------------     --------    --------   -------- 
    Less Industrial development
     revenue bonds                   (11,900)    (11,900)   (11,900)
    ---------------------------     --------    --------   -------- 
    Less Notes payable              (556,915)   (605,184)  (581,458)

    Net (debt) (non-GAAP measure)   $(62,947)  $(254,261) $(208,336)
    ---------------------------     --------    --------   -------- 
    
    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.
