Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires any company subject to the reporting requirements of the U.S. securities laws to do a comprehensive evaluation of its and its consolidated subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting. To comply with this statute, Atleos is required, as of December 31,see in full comparison2024,2025, to document and test its internal control procedures, its management is required to assess and issue a report concerning its internal control over financial reporting and its independent auditors are required to issue an opinion on Atleos’ internal control over financial reporting. As part of our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, management has concluded that the material weakness in the design and implementation of controls related to contract cancellations and customer credits impacting revenue, unbilled accounts receivable, and contract liabilities reconciliations previously disclosed in Part II, Item 9A. “Controls and Procedures”, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2024 has been remediated as of December 31, 2025. Although this material weakness has been remediated, and our management has determined, and our independent registered public accounting firm has attested, that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2025, there can be no assurance that we will not identify a material weakness in internal controls in the future or that the measures we may take to remediate any such future control deficiencies will be effective. The rules governing the standards that must be met for management to assess Atleos’ internal control over financial reporting are complex and require significant documentation, testing and possible remediation to meet the detailed standards under the rules. During the course of its testing, Atleos’ management may identify additional material weaknesses or deficiencies which may not be remedied in time to meet the deadline imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.IfAtleos’ managementconcludeshas at times concluded, and may conclude in the future, that Atleos’ internal control over financial reporting is not effective,orand its auditors may identify material weaknesses in Atleos’ internalcontrols,controls. As a result, investor confidence in Atleos’ financial results may weaken, and Atleos’ stock price may suffer. Further, the identification of material weaknesses or other control deficiencies may result in a failure to report our financial position and results of operations on a timely and accurate basis or meet our other reporting and financial obligations.

•Voyix may fail to perform under various transaction agreements that were executed as a part of the spin-off or Atleos may fail to have necessary systems and services in place when Voyix is no longer obligated to provide services under the various agreements.
•Some contracts and other assets transferred or assigned from NCR or its affiliates to Atleos in connection with Atleos’ spin-off from NCR may require the consent of a third party. If such consent is not given, Atleos may not be entitled to the benefit of such contracts and other assets in the future, which could adversely impact Atleos’ financial condition and future results of operations.
•While we have instituted a share repurchase program, Atleos may not continue to repurchase our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program, and any such repurchases could diminish our cash reserves and may not enhance long-term stockholder value.
In addition, as a result of our revenue generated outside of the United States, the amount of cash and cash equivalents that is held by our foreign subsidiaries continues to be significant. After the Tax Cutssignificant and Jobs Act of 2017, in general we will not be subject to additional United States taxes if cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments held outside the United States are distributed to the United States in the form of dividends or otherwise. However, we may also be subject to foreign withholding taxes, which could be significant.
The bankBank failures, such as those in 2023 and 2024, in addition to other global macroeconomic conditions, have from time to time caused a degree of uncertainty in the investor community and among bank customers, and could significantly impact the national, regional and local banking industry and the global business environment in which Atleos operates. The Company does not believe that the circumstances of these bank failures are indicators of broader issues within the banking system. However, ifIf there is a severe or prolonged economic downturn, it could result in a variety of risks to our business, including driving banking customers to tighten budgets and curtail spending, which would negatively impact our sales and business.
Our material input costs are adversely affected by tariffs imposed by the U.S. government on products imported into the United States and by trade restrictions imposed on business dealings with particular entities and/or individuals. Further trade restrictions, retaliatory trade measures and additional tariffs could result in higher input costs for our products, disrupt our supply chain and logistics, cause adverse financial impacts due to volatility in foreign exchange rates and interest rates, inflationary pressures on raw materials and energy, and heighten cybersecurity threats and other restrictions. We may not be able to fully mitigate the impact of these increased costs or pass price increases on to our customers. In addition, in response to tariffs, other countries have implemented retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods. Political tensions as a result of trade policies could reduce trade volume, investment, technological exchange, and other economic activities between major international economies, resulting in a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets. We cannot predict future developments, and such existing or future tariffs could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
We have operations all over the world and our sites in California, Texas, Florida, and India are particularly vulnerable to climate change effects. TheIn recent years, west coast of the United States, and Los Angeles in particular, recently experienced historic wildfires; hurricanes in Texas and Florida led to massive power outages; multiple hurricanes formed over the gulf coast as well as a typhoon in the Philippines; and the Appalachian region suffered historic floods—all of which caused significant destruction to the affected regions. We anticipate that similar weather events will continue to bring significant annual destruction in vulnerable areas. In India, extreme temperatures and increased cyclones’ frequency could interrupt our business continuity arrangements. The long-term effects of climate change could have significant repercussions for the global economy and cause significant financial and physical damages to Atleos.
Climate change is also driving new regulations and customer requirements. Our vehicle fleet is a significant contributor to our overall carbon footprint. Several jurisdictions have set sunset dates for combustion engine vehicles and some customers are asking us to transition our fleet to Electric Vehicles (“EVs”). However, due to technology and infrastructure constraints, an EV is not suitable for all applications. Additionally, we project that increased use of EVs is likely to lead to increased capital expenditures and higher leasing and insurance costs, or in some cases an inability to obtain insurance due to flood risk from hurricanes and other natural disasters in certain regions.
Our products and services, including our cloud and hosted solutions as well as our payments and networking solutions, facilitate financial and other transactions for the customers in the industries we serve. As a result, we collect, use, transmit and store certain of the transaction, Bitcoin, cardholder information, private keys, and personal data of our customers and end-users. We also have access to transaction and personal data of our customers and their customers through or in the course of servicing our products or third-party products. Additionally, we collect, use and store personal data of our employees and the personnel of our business partners, such as resellers, suppliers and contractors, in the ordinary course of business. While we have programs and measures in place designed to protect and safeguard this data, and while we have implemented access controls designed to limit the risk of unauthorized use or disclosure by employees and contractors, thewe cannot provide assurances that those programs and measures will prevent cyber attacks and/or unauthorized access. The techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to this data are complex and changing, as are the underlying objectives of the attacker, like targeted business disruption, financial impact, intellectual property theft and unauthorized use, political motives, or sophisticated nation-state sponsored and organized cyber-criminal activity, and may be difficult to detect for long periods of time. An attack, disruption, intrusion, denial of service, theft or other breach, or an inadvertent act by an employee or contractor, could result in unauthorized access to, or disclosure of, this data, resulting in claims, costs and reputational harm that could adversely impact our operating results. We may also detect, or may receive notice from third parties (including governmental agencies) regarding, potential vulnerabilities in our information technology systems, our products, or third-party products used in conjunction with our products or our business. In the course of our business activities, Atleos contracts with numerous suppliers, vendors and resellers who may experience a cybersecurity, data protection or privacy issue that could adversely impact our operating results. Even if these potential vulnerabilities do not result in a data breach, their existence can adversely impact marketplace confidence and reputation. To the extent such vulnerabilities require remediation, such remedial measures could require significant resources and may not be implemented before such vulnerabilities are exploited. As the landscape evolves, we may also find it necessary to make significant further investments to protect information and infrastructure.
Like most companies, Atleos is regularly the subject of attempted cyberattacks, which may involve personal data. Most such attacks are detected and prevented by the Company’s various information technology and data protections, including but not limited to firewalls, intrusion prevention systems, denial of service detection, anomaly-based detection, anti-virus/anti-malware, endpoint encryption and detection and response software, Security Information and Event Management system, identity management technology, security analytics, and multi-factor authentication and encryption. There can be no assurance that our protections will always be successful and any failure could result in loss, disclosure, theft, destruction or misappropriation of, or access to, our confidential information and cause disruption of our business, damage to our reputation, legal exposure and financial losses. Further, cyberattacks are becoming more frequent and sophisticated, including through emerging artificial intelligence technologies, which may intensify or exacerbate cybersecurity risks or introduce new risks.
The Company has established relationships with cybersecurity firms and internal cybersecurity experts, which it engages in connection with certain suspected incidents. The costs arising from those engagements, which depending on the incident may include both investigatory and remedial efforts, have not to date been material to the Company. The Company also regularlyperiodically undergoes evaluation of its protections against incidents, including both self-assessments and expert third-party assessments, and it regularlyperiodically enhances those protections, both in response to specific threats and as part of the Company’s efforts to stay current with advances in cybersecurity defense. When the Company experiences a confirmed cybersecurity incident it generally performs root cause analyses and in appropriate instances will implement additional controls based on those analyses. There can be no assurance that the Company or its cybersecurity consultants will be able to prevent or remediate all future incidents or that the cost associated with responding to any such incident will not be significant.
Our continuing ability to be a leading provider in our industry could be adversely impacted if we do not protect our intellectual property. It is critical to our strategy, and the benefits provided by our innovations and technologies, that we protect and can leverage and rely on our intellectual property, including our intellectual property rights. We protect our intellectual property, including our innovations and technologies, through intellectual property rights, including patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secret rights. While we have numerous patents which cover various areas, we are not able to patent all of our innovations and technologies. In addition, it can take multiple years to receive a patent. We primarilytherefore also rely on our copyrights and trade secret rights, provided under the laws of the U.S. and internationally, to protect our innovations and technologies.
Protecting our intellectual property through patents and other intellectual property rights is expensive and time-consuming, which can impact our ability to obtain such protection by certain of those rights, for example, through patents.protection. As such, we may not be able to obtain protection, including through certain such rights, for some of our intellectual property. Where we are successful, it is expensive to maintain certain intellectual property rights, such as in the case of patents, which may impact our ability to maintain them, and they can be more limited than desired. Current and possible future changes to U.S. or foreign intellectual property laws and regulations, or interpretations of them, may harm our ability to obtain protection of our intellectual property, impact, or jeopardize the enforceability, validity or scope of our intellectual property rights. This along with other legal and business reasons could result in our inability to enforce, or impact the enforcement of, our intellectual property rights (including in view of the patent portfolio of third parties). We may be unable to obtain trademark protection, including trademark registrations, for our products or services and associated brands, and our existing and future trademarks may not provide us with competitive advantages or distinguish our products or services from those of our competitors. In addition, our trademarks, including registrations and applications to register them, may be contested or found to be weak, unenforceable or invalid, and we may not be able to prevent third parties from using, infringing or otherwise violating them.
Whether intellectual property infringement claims, including by customers for indemnification, have merit or not, they may require significant resources and expenses to analyze, address and defend, and can be disruptive to our business. We may not prevail in a dispute or litigation related to an intellectual property infringement claim, and damages in a successful intellectual property infringement case (including resulting from an indemnity claim from one of our customers) can be significant and can be trebled if the infringement is found to be willful. In certain circumstances, we could be subject to an injunction that might adversely impact our business. In particular, an injunction could limit our ability to provide one or more of our products and services to the extent we are unable to develop non-infringing alternatives or obtain, if available at all, a license for them. It could lead us to having to enter into a fee bearing,fee-bearing, such as a royalty bearing,royalty-bearing, licensing agreement that we would not normally find reasonable or acceptable; cause a delay to the development of our products or services; require us to stop selling all or a portion of our products and services; require us to redesign at least certain products or services or components of them using alternative non-infringing technologies, processes or practices, which could require significant effort and expense. Accordingly, an adverse outcome in an intellectual property infringement case (including one resulting from our indemnification of one of our customers) may expose us to a loss of our competitive position or expose us to significant liabilities (including costs and damages). Any of the foregoing could materially and adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We expect new environmental, health, and safety laws and regulations that may affect us, our suppliers, and our customers. Climate change regulation in particular has been the subject of federal and state regulation in the United States as well as in other jurisdictions around the world. In particular, many of these regulations, including those related to climate disclosures, change frequently and may conflict among the various jurisdictions and countries in which we provide services. The pace of regulatory change in these areas has accelerated in recent years, and many regulatory developments are subject to increased challenge and uncertainty of application or implementation. For instance, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (“CSRD”) in Europe, the SEC’s recently adopted, but currentlythen stayed,abandoned, climate disclosure rules, and the California Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act and Climate-Related Financial Risk Act, among other similar laws, have resulted, and will continue to result, in increased compliance costs, and the failure to comply with these laws can result in significant monetary penalties. We anticipate that the direct costs associated with the various new sustainability-related regulations will be material. Additionally, we anticipate indirect costs due to regulation driven customer requirements and increased supplier costs that are passed through the value change, which may have an impact on our future operating results.
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires any company subject to the reporting requirements of the U.S. securities laws to do a comprehensive evaluation of its and its consolidated subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting. To comply with this statute, Atleos is required, as of December 31, 2024,2025, to document and test its internal control procedures, its management is required to assess and issue a report concerning its internal control over financial reporting and its independent auditors are required to issue an opinion on Atleos’ internal control over financial reporting. As part of our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, management has concluded that the material weakness in the design and implementation of controls related to contract cancellations and customer credits impacting revenue, unbilled accounts receivable, and contract liabilities reconciliations previously disclosed in Part II, Item 9A. “Controls and Procedures”, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2024 has been remediated as of December 31, 2025. Although this material weakness has been remediated, and our management has determined, and our independent registered public accounting firm has attested, that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2025, there can be no assurance that we will not identify a material weakness in internal controls in the future or that the measures we may take to remediate any such future control deficiencies will be effective. The rules governing the standards that must be met for management to assess Atleos’ internal control over financial reporting are complex and require significant documentation, testing and possible remediation to meet the detailed standards under the rules. During the course of its testing, Atleos’ management may identify additional material weaknesses or deficiencies which may not be remedied in time to meet the deadline imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. If Atleos’ management concludeshas at times concluded, and may conclude in the future, that Atleos’ internal control over financial reporting is not effective, orand its auditors may identify material weaknesses in Atleos’ internal controls,controls. As a result, investor confidence in Atleos’ financial results may weaken, and Atleos’ stock price may suffer. Further, the identification of material weaknesses or other control deficiencies may result in a failure to report our financial position and results of operations on a timely and accurate basis or meet our other reporting and financial obligations.
Atleos and NCR entered into certain agreements, such as the separation and distribution agreement, a transition services agreement, a tax matters agreement, certain intellectual property agreements, an employee matters agreement, the commercial agreements and other agreements, which provide for the performance by each company for the benefit of the other for a period of time after the spin-off. If Voyix is unable to satisfy its obligations under these agreements, including its indemnification obligations in favor of Atleos, we could incur operational difficulties or losses.
If Atleos does not have in place its own systems and services, and does not have agreements with other providers of these services when the transitional or other agreements terminate, or if Atleos does not implement the new systems or replace Voyix’s services successfully, Atleos may not be able to operate its business effectively, which could disrupt its business and have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations. These systems and services may also be more expensive to install, implement and operate, or less efficient than the systems and services Voyix is expected to provide during the transition period.
Atleos has assumed and agreed to indemnify Voyix for certain liabilities as discussed further in the section of the Information Statement entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions—Agreements with NCR.” Payments pursuant to these indemnities may be significant and could adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, particularly indemnities relating to our actions that could impact the tax-free nature of the distribution or relating to environmental matters. Information regarding indemnifications with Voyix are included in Item 8 of Part II of this Report as part of Note 9, “Commitments and Contingencies”, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and is incorporated herein by reference.
Because of their current or former positions with NCR, certain of Atleos’ executive officers and directors own equity interests in Voyix. Following the spin-off, even though the Atleos Board of Directors consists of a majority of directors who are independent, and any of Atleos’ executive officers who were employees of NCR ceased to be employees of NCR upon the spin-off, some of Atleos’ executive officers and directors will continue to have a financial interest in shares of Voyix common stock and equity awards. Continuing ownership of shares of Voyix common stock and equity awards could create, or appear to create, potential conflicts of interest if Atleos and Voyix pursue the same corporate opportunities or face decisions that could have different implications for Atleos and Voyix.
Some contracts and other assets transferred or assigned from NCR or its affiliates to Atleos in connection with Atleos’ spin-off from NCR may require the consent of a third party. If such consent is not given, Atleos may not be entitled to the benefit of such contracts and other assets in the future, which could adversely impact Atleos’ financial condition and future results of operations.
The separation and distribution agreement and various local transfer agreements will provide that in connection with Atleos’ spin-off from NCR, a number of contracts with third-parties and other assets are to be transferred or assigned from Voyix or its affiliates to Atleos or its subsidiaries. However, the transfer or assignment of certain of these contracts or assets may require the consent of a third party to such a transfer or assignment. Similarly, in some circumstances, Atleos and another business unit of Voyix are joint beneficiaries of contracts, and Atleos will need to enter into a new agreement with the third-party to replicate the existing contract or be assigned the portion of the existing contract related to Atleos’ business. It is possible that some parties may use the requirement of a consent or the fact that the spin-off is occurring to seek more favorable contractual terms from Atleos, to terminate the contract or, to otherwise request additional accommodations, commitments or other agreements from Atleos. If Atleos is unable to obtain such consents on commercially reasonable and satisfactory terms or if the contracts are terminated, Atleos may be unable to obtain the benefits, assets and contractual commitments which are intended to be allocated to Atleos as part of Atleos’ spin-off from NCR. The failure to timely complete the assignment of existing contracts or assets, or the negotiation of new arrangements, or a termination of any of those arrangements, could have a material adverse impact on Atleos’ financial condition and future results of operations. To the extent Atleos requires a specific arrangement and agrees to less favorable terms in connection with obtaining any consent to retain that arrangement, the basis for that arrangement may be less favorable than currently held by Voyix and could adversely impact Atleos’ financial conditions and future results of operations. In addition, where Atleos did not obtain, or does not intend to obtain, consent from third-party counterparties based on Atleos’ belief that no consent is required, the third-party counterparties may challenge a transfer of assets on the basis that the terms of the applicable commercial arrangements require the third-party counterparties’ consent. Atleos may incur substantial litigation and other costs in connection with any such claims and, if Atleos does not prevail, Atleos’ ability to use these assets could be materially and adversely impacted.
The timing, declaration, amount and payment of future dividends to Atleos’ stockholders will fall within the discretion of the Atleos Board of Directors.Board. The Atleos Board of Directors’Board’s decisions regarding the authorization of dividends will depend on many factors, such as Atleos’ financial condition, earnings, capital requirements, debt service obligations, industry practice, legal requirements, regulatory constraints and other factors that the Atleos Board of Directors deems relevant. Atleos’ ability to pay dividends will depend on its ongoing ability to generate cash from operations and access to the capital markets. Atleos cannot guarantee that it will pay a dividend in the future or continue to pay any dividend if Atleos commences paying dividends.
In addition, Atleos’ charter authorizes Atleos to issue, without the approval of Atleos’ stockholders, one or more classes or series of preferred stock having such designation, powers, preferences, and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, including preferences over Atleos common stock respecting dividends and distributions, as the Atleos Board of Directors generally may determine. The terms of one or more classes or series of preferred stock could dilute the voting power or reduce the value of Atleos common stock. For example, Atleos could grant the holders of preferred stock the right to elect some number of Atleos’ directors in all events or on the happening of specified events or to veto specified transactions. Similarly, the repurchase or redemption rights or liquidation preferences Atleos could assign to holders of preferred stock could affect the residual value of Atleos common stock.
While Atleos has instituted a share repurchase program, Atleos may not continue to repurchase our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program, and any such repurchases could diminish Atleos’ cash reserves and may not enhance long-term stockholder value.
The Atleos Board instituted a share repurchase program, authorizing the repurchase of shares of Atleos common stock. See Part II. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources-Share Repurchase Program” set forth herein. Although the Atleos Board has authorized the share repurchase program, the share repurchase program does not obligate Atleos to repurchase any specific dollar amount or to acquire any specific number of shares.
The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined by Atleos, in its discretion, and will depend on a variety of factors, including legal requirements, price, and economic and market conditions and may be limited, suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice. A potential tax on share repurchases that would make share repurchases more expensive, may also impact Atleos’ decision to engage in share repurchases. Furthermore, Atleos’ ability to repurchase shares of common stock are and may continue to be limited by restrictive covenants in its debt agreements and indentures.
In addition, Atleos’ share repurchase program could diminish its cash reserves, which may impact its ability to finance future growth and to pursue possible future strategic opportunities and acquisitions. Share repurchases may not enhance stockholder value because the market price of Atleos common stock may decline below the levels at which it repurchases shares of common stock or short-term stock price fluctuations could reduce the program’s effectiveness.
Atleos’ charter and bylaws contain, and Maryland law contains, provisions that are intended to deter coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids by making such practices or bids unacceptably expensive to the bidder and to encourage prospective acquirers to negotiate with the Atleos Board of Directors rather than to attempt a hostile takeover. With respect to the charter and bylaws, these provisions include, among others:
•Authority of the Atleos Board of Directors to issue capital stock, including to issue a class or series of preferred stock with such preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications or terms or conditions of redemption of such class or series as the Atleos Board of Directors so determines;
•Members of the Atleos Board of Directors may be removed at any time, but only for cause, and then only by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors, voting together as a single class; and
•Advance notice required for stockholder nominations of individuals for election to the Atleos Board of Directors and stockholder proposals of other business to be considered by the stockholders at an annual meeting of stockholders ofmust be delivered to Atleos’ secretary not earlier than the 120th day, and not later than 5:00 p.m., eastern time, on the 90th day prior to the first anniversary of the proxy statement for the preceding year’s annual meeting, which notice shall set forth the information required by the bylaws.
•Maryland Business Combination Act: The Maryland Business Combination Act provides that, subject to certain exceptions and limitations, certain business combinations between a Maryland corporation and an “interested stockholder” (defined generally as any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting power of our outstanding voting stock or an affiliate or associate of ours who, at any time within the two-year period immediately prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power of our then outstanding shares of stock) or an affiliate of any interested stockholder are prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which the stockholder becomesbecame an interested stockholder, and thereafter imposes two super-majority stockholder voting requirements on these combinations, unless, among other conditions, our common stockholders receive a minimum price, as defined in the MGCL, for their shares of stock and the consideration is received in cash or in the same form as previously paid by the interested stockholder for its shares of stock.
•Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act: The Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act provides that, subject to certain exceptions, holders of “control shares” (defined as voting shares that, when aggregated with all other shares controlled by the stockholder, entitle the stockholder to exercise one of three increasing ranges of voting power in electing directors) acquired in a “control share acquisition” (defined as the direct or indirect acquisition of ownership or control of issued and outstanding “control shares”) have no voting rights except to the extent approved by our stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, excluding shares owned by the acquirer, by our officers, or by our employees who are also directors of Atleos. Atleos’ bylaws contain a provision exempting all acquisitions of shares of Atleos’ stock from the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act. There can be no assurance that this provision will not be amended or eliminated at any time in the future.
•Title 3, Subtitle 8 of the MGCL: These provisions of the MGCL will permit the Atleos Board of Directors,Board, without stockholder approval and regardless of what is provided in our charter or bylaws, to implement certain takeover defenses, including adopting a classified board or increasing the vote required to remove a director.
Additionally, the MGCL provides, among other things, that the Atleos Board of Directors has broad discretion in adopting stockholders’ rights plans and has the sole power to fix the record date, time, and place for special meetings of the stockholders. To date, Atleos does not intend to adopt a stockholders’ rights plan.
Atleos believes these provisions protect its stockholders from coercive or otherwise unfair takeover tactics by requiring potential acquirers to negotiate with the Atleos Board of Directors and by providing the Atleos Board of Directors with more time to assess any acquisition proposal. These provisions are not intended to make Atleos immune from takeovers. However, these provisions will apply even if the offer may be considered beneficial by some stockholders and could delay or prevent an acquisition that the Atleos Board of Directors determines is not in the best interests of Atleos and its stockholders. These provisions may also prevent or discourage attempts to remove and replace incumbent directors.
Atleos’ bylaws provide that, unless Atleos’ Board of Directors otherwise determines, the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland, or, if that court does not have jurisdiction, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, Northern Division, is the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any Internal Corporate Claim, as such term is defined in the MGCL, other than any action asserting only claims arising under federal securities laws, including, without limitation, (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of Atleos other than any action asserting solely claims under federal securities laws, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of any duty owed by any director or officer or other employee of Atleos to Atleos or to the stockholders of Atleos or (iii) any action asserting a claim against Atleos or any director or officer or other employee of Atleos arising pursuant to any provision of the MGCL, the charter or the bylaws of Atleos, or (b) any other action asserting a claim against Atleos or any director or officer or other employee of Atleos that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our stock is deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of our bylaws, including the exclusive forum provisions. This exclusive forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that the stockholder believes is favorable for such disputes and may discourage lawsuits against us and any of our directors, officers or other employees. We believe that requiring these claims to be filed in a single court in Maryland is advisable because (i) litigating these claims in a single court avoids unnecessarily redundant, inconvenient, costly and time-consuming litigation in multiple forums and (ii) Maryland courts are authoritative on matters of Maryland law and Maryland judges have more experience in dealing with issues of Maryland corporate law than judges in any other state.
While we seek to actively engage with stockholders and consider their views on business, strategy, and environmental, social and governance issues, responding to these stockholders could be costly and time-consuming, disrupt our business and operations, and divert the attention of our Board of Directors and senior management. Uncertainties associated with such activities could interfere with our ability to effectively execute our strategic plan, impact customer retention and long-term growth, and limit our ability to hire and retain personnel. In addition, actions of these stockholders may cause periods of fluctuation in our stock price based on temporary or speculative market perceptions or other factors that do not necessarily reflect the underlying fundamentals and prospects of our business.

On SeptemberOctober 15,16, 2022,2023, NCR Corporation (now known as NCR Voyix Corporation or “Voyix,” and referred to as “NCR” when discussing periods prior to the Separation), announced its plan to separate its businesses into two distinct, publicly traded companies, whereby NCR would executecompleted a Spin-offspin-off to NCR stockholdersshareholders of its self-service banking, network, and telecommunications and technology businesses (the “Spin-off” or “Separation”). OnConcurrent September 22, 2023,with the BoardSpin-off, ofwe Directorsbecame ofa NCRstand authorizedalone thepublicly-traded Spin-offcompany ofand Atleos,our whichfinancial wasstatements completedare now presented on Octobera 16,consolidated 2023.basis.
The Spin-off was achieved by means of a pro-rata distribution of all of Atleos’ common stock to Voyix’s stockholders at the close of business on October 2, 2023 (“Record Date”) (collectively, the “Distribution”). Each holder of NCR’s common stock received one share of Atleos’ common stock for every two shares of NCR common stock held as of the Record Date. Upon completion of the Distribution, on October 17, 2023, the Company commenced trading as an independent public company under the ticker symbol “NATL” on the NYSE. Following the Distribution, Voyix does not beneficially own any shares of Atleos common stock and will no longer consolidate Atleos results with any Voyix results.
On October 16, 2023, the Company became a standalone publicly traded company, and its financial statements are now presented on a consolidated basis. Prior to the Separation, the Company’s historical combined financial statements were prepared on a standalone basis and were derived from NCR’s consolidated financial statements and accounting records. The financial statements for all periods presented, including the historical results of the Company prior to October 16, 2023, are now referred to as “Consolidated Financial Statements”, and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Prior to the Separation, the Consolidated Statements of Operations include all revenues and costs directly attributable to Atleos, including costs for facilities, functions and services used by Atleos. Atleos’ businesses have historically functioned together with the other businesses controlled by NCR. Accordingly, Atleos relied on NCR’s corporate overhead and other support functions for its business. Therefore, certain corporate overhead and shared costs have been allocated to Atleos including (i) certain general and administrative expenses related to NCR support functions that are provided on a centralized basis within NCR (e.g., expenses for corporate facilities, executive oversight, treasury, finance, legal, human resources, compliance, information technology, employee benefit plans, stock compensation plans, and other corporate functions) and (ii) certain operations support costs incurred by NCR, including product sourcing, maintenance and support services, and other supply chain functions. These expenses have been specifically identified, when possible, or allocated based on revenues, headcount, usage or other allocation methods that are considered to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided or benefit received. Management considers that such allocations have been made on a reasonable basis consistent with benefits received but may not necessarily be indicative of the costs that would have been incurred if Atleos had been operated on a standalone basis for the periods presented. All charges and allocations for facilities, functions and services performed by NCR have been deemed settled in cash by Atleos to NCR in the period in which the cost was recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
AtleosWe is expectedexpect to be a cash-generative business positioned to focus on delivering ATMaaS to a large, installed customer base across banks and retailers. We believe it will build on our leadership in self-service banking and ATM networks to meet global demand for ATM access and leverage new ATM transaction types, including digital currency solutions, to drive market growth. AtleosWe isalso expectedexpect to also continue shifting to a highly recurring revenue model to drive stable cash flow and capital returns to stockholders.flow.
We continue to be exposed to macroeconomic pressures such as higher interest rates, increased logistics costs, tariffs, and foreign currency fluctuations as a result of geopolitical challenges, including those due to various conflicts in and around the Red Sea region. We continueare to navigatenavigating through these challenges with a sharp focus onon, and goal ofof, safeguarding our employees, helping our customers and managing impacts to the business. Despite the rapidly changing environment, our teams are executing at a high level and we are advancing our strategy.
In the first quarter of 2025, the United States introduced trade policy actions that have increased or proposed to increase import tariffs across a wide range of countries at various rates. Multiple countries responded with reciprocal tariffs and other actions, and the U.S. government continues to pursue various negotiations related to trade policy. We currently import finished goods and service parts to the United States from a number of countries that are impacted by the tariff rate changes. On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the reciprocal tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") were unlawful. We continue to actively monitor tariff developments, analyze their potential impact and review actions that can be taken to moderate and/or minimize their effects; however, the trade policies and responses and their related impacts are rapidly evolving. The impact of these trade policy actions on our performance was immaterial in 2025.
Changing U.S. immigration policy has negatively impacted our Network segment as there have been fewer transactions with prepaid payroll cards and dynamic currency conversion transactions.
In addition to the globalGlobal macroeconomic conditions, bank failures in 2023conditions have caused a degree of uncertainty in the investor community and among bank customers, and could significantly impact the national, regional and local banking industry and the global business environment in which Atleoswe operates.operate. The Company does not believe that the circumstances of these bank failures are indicators of broader issues within the banking system. However, ifIf there is a severe or prolonged economic downturn, it could result in a variety of risks to our business, including driving banking customers to tighten budgets and curtail spending, which would negatively impact our sales and business.
We expect that thesethe factors discussed above may continue to negatively impact our business at least in the short-term. The ultimate impact on our overall financial condition and operating results will depend on the duration and severity of these geopolitical and macroeconomic pressures and any governmental and public actions taken in response. We continue to evaluate the long-term impact that these may have on our business model, however, there can be no assurance that the measures we have taken or will take will completely offset the negative impact.
The following two tables show our key strategic financial metrics for the years ended December 31, the relative percentage that those amounts represent to total revenue, and the change in those amounts year-over-year.
(1) Refer to our definition of Recurring revenue in the section entitled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Use of Certain TermsTerms.” below.
(2) Refer to our definition of Adjusted EBITDA in the section entitled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Use of Certain TermsTerms.” below.
(1) Refer to our definitions of Annualized recurring revenue, ATMrecurring as a Service units,revenue, LTM ARPU and Network Managed Units in the section entitled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Use of Certain Terms.”
We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) with certain non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as an alternative for, our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our adjusted financial measures do not represent a comprehensive basis of accounting and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We believe these measures are useful for investors because they provide a more complete understanding of our underlying operational performance, as well as consistency and comparability with past reports of financial results.

These adjustments are considered non-operational or non-recurring in nature and are excluded from thenet. Adjusted EBITDA metricmargin utilizedis calculated by our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in evaluating segment performance and are separately delineated to reconcile back to total reported income attributable to Atleos. 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 Atleos management to make decisions regarding our segments and to assess our financial performance. Refer to the table below for the reconciliations of Net income (loss) attributable to Atleos (GAAP) todividing Adjusted EBITDA (by total revenue, and Adjusted EBITDA margin by segment is calculated based on segment Adjusted EBITDA divided by the related segment revenue.

Special Item Related to Russia The war in Eastern Europe and related sanctions imposed on Russia and related actors by the United States and other jurisdictions required us to commence the orderly wind down of our operations in Russia beginning in the first quarter of 2022. We have ceased operations in Russia and have completed the liquidation of our only subsidiary in Russia. As a result, our presentation of segment revenue and Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2022, excludes the immaterial impact of our operating results in Russia, as well as the impact of impairments taken to write down the carrying value of assets and liabilities, severance charges, and the assessment of collectability on revenue recognition. We consider this to be a non-recurring special item and management has reviewed the results of its business segments excluding these impacts.
Recurring revenue: Allis all revenue streams from contracts where there is a predictable revenue pattern that will occur at regular intervals with a relatively high degree of certainty. This includes hardware and software maintenance revenue, processing revenue, interchange and network revenue, Bitcoin relatedBitcoin-related revenue, and certain professional services arrangements, as well as term-based software license arrangements that include customer termination rights.
Annualized Recurring Revenue (“ARR”): Recurringis an operating metric defined as recurring revenue, excluding software licenses sold as a subscription, for the last three months times four, plus the rolling four quarters for term-based software license arrangements that include customer termination rights. AtleosWe believesbelieve this metric may be useful to investors in evaluating the Company’s achievement of strategic goals related to the conversion of the self-service banking business to recurring revenue streams over time. ARR is an operating metric and does not necessarily reflect the pattern of revenue recognition in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for GAAP revenue. ARR does not have a uniform definition and, therefore, Atleos’ definitions may differ from other companies’ definitions of this measure.
ATM as a Service Units: The number of ATMs as of period end that are deployed under our ATMaaS offering. ATMaaS refers to our turnkey, end-to-end ATM platform solution, whereby we provide comprehensive managed services solutions to financial institutions. Atleos believes this metric may be useful to investors in measuring the Company’s achievement of strategic goals related to growth of the ATMaaS business over time.
Last twelve months average revenue per unit (“LTM ARPU”): Foris an operating metric for the Network segment,segment defined as total Network segment revenue for the previous twelve months divided by the average Network Managed Units for the previous twelve months. AtleosWe believesbelieve this metric may be useful to investors in evaluating the Company’sour achievement of strategic goals related to the improved monetization of our ATM fleet over a specified period, excluding the impact of seasonality. LTM ARPU is an operating metric and does not represent revenue generated solely by our Network Managed Units, as total Network segment revenue includes revenue generated from other sources besides the Network Managed Units. LTM ARPU does not have a uniform definition and, therefore, Atleos’ definitions may differ from other companies’ definitions of this measure.sources.
Network Managed Units: Allare all transacting ATMs as of period end, whether Company-owned or Merchant-owned, other than those for which we only provide third partythird-party processing services and those under legacy managed services arrangements. This metric is used in the calculation of Network segment LTM ARPU.
(1) Includes Related party interest expense, net, as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the yearsyear ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.2023.
(2) Includes certain items reported within Other income (expense), net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, such as bank fees, the components of pension, post-employment and postretirement expense other than service cost, and the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Prior to 2025, Adjusted EBITDA did not exclude these Other (income) expense items. All periods presented have been recast to reflect the new definition. Certain other amounts reported in Other income (expense), net are separately captured in this reconciliation. As a result, Other (income) expense items as presented does not agree to total Other income (expense), net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

(1)Percentage of revenue is expressed relative to consolidated revenue.
(2)Contains certain immaterial business operations that do not represent a reportable segment, including commerce-related operations in countries that Voyix exited that are aligned to Atleos. Other also includes revenues from commercial agreements with Voyix.
Consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased 1% compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily driven by $151 million, or 4%, increase in core business segment revenues. Within this consolidated revenue growth rate, Self-Service Banking contributed 5%, offset by a reduction of approximately 2% from the T&T and Network segments compared to the prior year. The consolidated revenue growth rate was also impacted by a 2% expected reduction in other non-core revenues as the Voyix commercial agreements and commerce-related contracts continue to wind down. Growth in total segment revenues was driven by increases in hardware, software and services, including ATMaaS, offset by a slight decrease in transactional revenue.
Revenue
Product revenue includes our hardware and software license revenue streams as well as Bitcoin-related revenues. Service revenue includes hardware and software maintenance revenue, implementation services revenue, cloud revenue, payments processing revenue, interchange and network revenue, as well as professional services revenue.
Revenue results for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 were negatively impacted by the delayed transfer of seven legal entities to Atleos following our separation from Voyix, due to local processes of setting up Atleos legal entities. Prior to the Separation, the operating results of each of these entities were included within Atleos’ results under carve-out methodology as all entities were dedicated to the Atleos business. Of these seven legal entities, five transferred during 2024. The remaining two entities are expected to transfer in the first quarter of 2025. We estimate the delayed transfer of these entities resulted in an approximately $22 million decline in revenue in 2024 compared to the prior year period.
Total revenue increased 3% for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily driven by the growth of recurring service revenue streams in our core business as well as revenue recognized pursuant to our commercial agreements with Voyix.
Product revenue decreased 3% for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 due to declines in non-core commerce related revenues of approximately $30 million related to the wind down of that business, ATM and other hardware revenue of approximately $21 million and Bitcoin-related revenues of approximately $26 million, partially offset by an increase of approximately $33 million of product revenues earned under the commercial agreements with Voyix and a $6 million increase in software license revenue. The decline in ATM hardware revenue is partially due to the shift in the business from one-time hardware sales to recurring ATMaaS subscriptions as well as a $5 million reduction due to the delayed legal entities described above. The decline in Bitcoin-related revenue is due to a decrease in transaction volumes.
Service revenue increased 5% for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, driven primarily by 6% total growth in our core self-service banking and network offerings. Services revenue benefited from increases of approximately $39 million of transaction processing services revenue, $25 million in hardware maintenance and installation revenue, $41 million in ATMaaS revenue as well as $57 million in other software-related revenues. The increase in transaction processing services revenue was driven by an increase in withdrawal transaction volumes and the favorable mix of payments transactions year-over-year, while the growth in ATMaaS revenue and other software-related revenues was due to the continued growth in our ATMaaS offering, whereby we own the ATMs and charge per ATM for the service, as well as the shift to recurring software subscriptions. The increase in hardware maintenance and installation revenue was primarily due to an increase in the core business of approximately $14 million and a $12 million increase in revenue earned under the commercial agreements with Voyix. Included in the activity described above, the delayed transfer of legal entities resulted in a reduction of hardware maintenance and installation revenue and other software-related services revenue of approximately $11 million and $6 million, respectively.
Gross margin as a percentage of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased to 24.4% compared to 23.7% for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was driven by hardware, as well as ATMaaS growth, and was partially offset by higher vault cash interest expense. Adjusted gross margin as a percentage of revenue (non-GAAP) increased from 25.8% to 26.5% due to the same factors discussed above.
(1) The percentage of revenue is calculated for each line item divided by the related component of revenue.
Gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 23.9% in 2024 compared to 22.3% in 2023, primarily due to the impact of higher margin recurring revenue streams as well as higher separation-related costs and stock-based compensation expense in the prior year period. These improvements are partially offset by the impact of lower margins recognized on products and services provided under the commercial agreements with Voyix as well as an increase in amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and transformation and restructuring costs in the current year. Our services gross margin was also impacted by increased interest rates driving $11 million of higher rental costs on our vault cash agreements. Gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2024 included $80 million of amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, $7 million of transformation and restructuring costs, and $5 million of stock-based compensation expense. Gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2023 included $51 million of reserves on net assets transferred and incremental retention costs paid out as part of the Spin-off from Voyix, $65 million related to amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, $20 million of stock-based compensation expense, and $1 million related to transformation and restructuring costs. Adjusted gross margin as a percentage of revenue (non-GAAP) increased from 25.5% to 26.1% due to the improved mix of higher margin recurring revenue streams, partially offset by the impact of lower margins recognized under the commercial agreements with Voyix and vault cash rental costs described above.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased $8 million and 30 basis points to 11.8% of revenue compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. We benefited from a continuous focus on cost optimization efforts, recognized gains on the sale-leaseback of certain owned ATMs associated with ATMasS and Network contracts and incurred lower separation-related costs and stock-based compensation expense. These improvements were partially offset by the pre-Spin-off litigation matter shared with Voyix. Adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue (non-GAAP) decreased from 10.3% to 9.8%, primarily due to decreases in Voyix-related costs and labor costs.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $518 million in 2024, compared to $585 million in 2023. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 12.0% in 2024 compared to 14.0% in 2023, primarily driven by higher separation-related costs, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and stock-based compensation expense in the prior year period. In 2024, selling, general and administrative expenses included $8 million of transformation and restructuring costs, $31 million of stock-based compensation expense, $15 million of acquisition-related amortization of intangibles and $18 million of separation-related costs. In 2023, selling, general and administrative expenses included $8 million of transformation and restructuring costs, $43 million of stock-based compensation expense, $33 million of acquisition-related amortization of intangibles, and $97 million in IT separation, consulting, audit, legal, and incremental retention costs related to the Company’s Spin-off from Voyix. The beneficial impact of these cost changes compared to prior year was partially offset by lower costs allocated to Atleos under carve-out accounting methodologies in the prior year period, compared to operations as a stand-alone company in 2024, which include cost dis-synergies and higher employee benefit-related costs. Adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue (non-GAAP) increased from 9.6% in 2023 to 10.3% in 2024, due to differences in cost allocations, separation cost dis-synergies and employee-benefit related costs described above.
Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased $8 million and 20 basis points to 1.6% of revenue compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, due to an increase in employee-related costs.
Research and development expenses were $66 million in 2024, compared to $77 million in 2023. As a percentage of revenue, research and development costs decreased to 1.5% in 2024 compared to 1.8% in 2023 due to separation-related costs incurred in the prior year period and higher costs allocated to Atleos under carve-out accounting methodologies in the prior year period, compared to operations as a stand-alone company in 2024. In 2024, research and development expenses included $2 million of stock-based compensation expense and $3 million of transformation and restructuring costs. In 2023, research and development expenses included $5 million of stock-based compensation expense and $3 million of costs related to the Company’s separation from Voyix. Adjusted research and development expenses as a percentage of revenue (non-GAAP) decreased from 1.6% in 2023 to 1.4% in 2024 due to the differences in cost allocations discussed above.
On October 17, 2024, Atleos entered into an Amended Credit Agreement and completed financing transactions that included the refinancing of the Term Loan B Facility. In connection with the transactions, Atleos recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $20$24 million in 2024,million, including the write-off of discount and deferred financing fees of $13$17 million and a cash redemption premium of $7 million. Refer to Note 5,4, “Debt Obligations”, for further details on the financing transactions.
Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased $39 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. This decrease was driven by a reduction in variable interest rates on our outstanding debt following an amendment and a refinancing of our senior secured credit facility in the fourth quarter of 2024 and third quarter of 2025, respectively, as well as a reduction in the outstanding balance of the Term Loan Facilities. Refer to Note 4, “Debt Obligations”, for additional information on our outstanding debt.
Interest expense was $309 million in 2024, compared to $77 million in 2023. The significant increase in interest expense in 2024 is due to a full year of interest incurred on external debt. Interest expense is primarily related to the Company’s senior secured notes and borrowings under the Company’s senior secured credit facility entered into on September 27, 2023 and amended on October 17, 2024. Refer to Note 5, “Debt Obligations”, for further details regarding the issuance of debt.
Related party interest expense, net was $13 million in 2023. Related party interest expense, net is primarily related to certain related party borrowings during the period prior to the Separation.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, we recorded expense of $19 million compared to income of $21 million in the comparative period. Income related to our company-sponsored defined benefit plans decreased, driven by reductions in the discount rates. Expense related to the Voyix environmental indemnification expense increased due to the acceleration of investigatory and remedial activities at the Kalamazoo River site. These unfavorable impacts were partially offset by the gain on divestiture of a non-core business and a decrease in losses from foreign currency exchange rate movements, primarily in hyperinflationary economies.
Other (expense) income, net was income of $19 million in 2024 and expense of $74 million in 2023, with the components reflected in the following table:
Employee benefit plans within Other (expense) income, net includes the components of pension, postemployment and postretirement expense, other than service cost, as well as actuarial gains and losses from the annual pension mark-to-market adjustment. In 2024, there was a net actuarial gain of $38 million compared to a net actuarial loss of $27 million in 2023. The net actuarial gain in 2024 was primarily due to an increase in discount rates in measuring the benefit obligations as well as the favorable impact from an update to the mortality tables, partially offset by the impact of the increase in inflation rates. The net actuarial loss in 2023 was primarily due to a decrease in discount rates in measuring the benefit obligation, partially offset by the impact of economic improvements on the value of plan assets.
The Company incurred bank-related fees of $15 million and $14 million in 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to certain structuring and commitment fees as a result of the financing transactions entered into in connection with the Separation and the Amended Credit Agreement in 2024. Bank-related fees also includes fees incurred under the trade receivable facility entered into on October 16, 2023.
Voyix environmental indemnification expense represents Atleos’ indemnification of certain costs shared with Voyix, related to investigatory and remedial activities, and related litigation, at facilities formerly owned or operated by Voyix to comply, or determine compliance, with environmental laws. Refer to Note 10, “Commitments and Contingencies”, for further details on the Shared Environmental Matters.
Income tax expense for the the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 was $27 million compared to $44 million in the prior year. The change was driven by a lower estimated annual effective income tax rate. Our effective tax rate was 34%14% in 20242025 andcompared 223%to 35% in 2023.2024. In 2025, our tax rate benefited from $25 million release of valuation allowance offset by $9 million Foreign Derived Intangible Income decrease in benefit compared to prior year. In 2024, our tax rate benefited from $17 million Foreign Derived Intangible Income deduction and $17 million provision to return adjustments, of which $11 million is classified as U.S. tax impact on foreign income. Additionally, in 2024, our tax rate was impacted by increasingan increase in the valuation allowance on U.S. interest expense disallowance carryforward by $31$32 million. In 2023, the Company completed certain internal restructuring transactions in connection with the Spin-off, resulting in a net of $120 million discrete tax expenses.
While we are subject to numerous federal, state and foreign tax audits, we believe 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. During 2025,2026, the Company may resolve certain tax matters in foreign jurisdictions that could have an impact on the effective tax rate in 2025.rate.
We regularly review our deferred tax assets for recoverability and establish a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The determination as to whether a deferred tax asset will be realized is made on a jurisdictional basis and is based on the evaluation of positive and negative evidence. This evidence includes historical taxable income/loss, projected future taxable income, the expected timing of the reversal of existing temporary differences and the implementation of tax planning strategies.

InThere evaluatinghave anbeen investmentno inmaterial thechanges Company’s common stock, investors should consider carefully, among other things, the risk factors discussed below andto the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A (“Risk Factors”) of the Company’sour 2025 Form 10-K,10-K andfiled theon informationFebruary contained27, in2026, thisour Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on May 7, 2026 and the Company’s other reports, proxy and registration statements.
Atleos is expected to incur significant costs related to the Mergers. Atleos has incurred and expects to continue to incur certain non-recurring costs associated with the Mergers. These costs include legal, financial advisory, accounting, consulting and other advisory fees, severance/employee benefit-related costs, public company filing fees and other regulatory fees, financing and debt restructuring costs, printing and mailing costs and other related costs. Some of these costs are payable by Atleos regardless of whether or not the Mergers are completed.
The Mergers will not be completed unless a number of conditions are satisfied or waived, including the approvals by Atleos stockholders and Brink’s shareholders of each party’s respective proposals.
Specified conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement must be satisfied or waived to complete the Mergers. If the conditions are not satisfied or, subject to applicable law, waived, the Mergers will not occur or will be delayed and each of Atleos and Brink’s may lose some or all of the intended benefits of the Mergers. The following conditions, among others, must be satisfied or waived, if permissible, before Atleos and Brink’s are obligated to complete the Mergers: (i) approval of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Transactions”) by the stockholders of Atleos; (ii) approval of the issuance of shares of Brink’s common stock by the shareholders of Brink’s; (iii) the absence of any judgment by any governmental authority of competent jurisdiction or any applicable law that enjoins, restrains or otherwise makes illegal, prevents or prohibits consummation of the Transactions; (iv) the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period (including any extension thereof) under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”); (v) the receipt of certain other governmental consents, approvals or other clearances required to be obtained under the Merger Agreement, including under certain applicable foreign antitrust and regulatory laws and certain money transmitter licenses; (vi) the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-4; (vii) the authorization for listing on the NYSE of the shares of Brink’s common stock to be issued in connection with the Mergers, subject to official notice of issuance; and (viii) other customary closing conditions, including (a) each party’s representations and warranties being true and correct, subject to certain customary qualifications, (b) each party’s compliance with or performance of, in all material respects, its obligations under the Merger Agreement and (c) the absence of a material adverse effect with respect to either of Brink’s or Atleos.
Regulatory approvals may not be received, may take longer than expected or may impose conditions that are not presently anticipated or that could have an adverse effect on the combined company following the Mergers.
Before the Mergers may be completed, various approvals, consents and non-objections must be obtained from regulatory authorities. In determining whether to grant these approvals, the regulators consider a variety of factors, including the regulatory standing of each party. These approvals could be delayed or not obtained at all, including due to an adverse development in either party’s regulatory standing, or any other factors considered by regulators in granting such approvals; governmental, political or community group inquiries, investigations or opposition; or changes in legislation or the political environment, including as a result of changes in regulatory agency leadership.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Brink’s and Atleos agreed to use reasonable best efforts to consummate the Mergers and obtain all approvals, consents, registrations, waivers, permits, authorizations, exemptions, clearances, orders and other confirmations from any governmental authority or third party necessary to consummate and make effective the Transactions. These approvals may impose terms and conditions, limitations, obligations or costs, or require changes to the terms of the Transactions. There can be no assurance that regulators will not impose any such conditions, limitations, obligations or restrictions and that such conditions, limitations, obligations or restrictions will not have the effect of delaying the completion of any of the Transactions or otherwise reduce the anticipated benefits of the Mergers if the Mergers were consummated successfully within the expected time frame. In addition, there can be no assurance that any such conditions, limitations, obligations or restrictions will not result in the delay or abandonment of the Mergers. Additionally, the completion of the Mergers is conditioned on the absence of any judgment by any governmental authority of competent jurisdiction or any applicable law that enjoins, restrains or otherwise makes illegal, prevents or prohibits consummation of the Transactions.
Termination of the Merger Agreement could negatively affect Atleos.
If the Mergers are not completed for any reason, including as a result of Brink’s shareholders failing to approve the issuance of shares of Brink’s common stock or Atleos’ stockholders failing to approve the Transactions, including the Mergers, there may be various adverse consequences and Atleos may experience negative reactions from the financial markets and from their respective customers and employees. For example, Atleos’ businesses may have been affected adversely by the failure to pursue other beneficial opportunities due to the focus of management on the Mergers, without realizing any of the anticipated benefits of completing the Mergers. Additionally, if the Merger Agreement is terminated, the market price of Atleos Common Stock could decline to the extent that the current market prices reflect a market assumption that the Mergers will be completed. If the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, Atleos may be required to pay a termination fee of $145 million to Brink’s.
Additionally, Atleos has incurred and will incur substantial expenses in connection with the negotiation and completion of the Transactions, as well as the costs and expenses of filing, printing and mailing a joint proxy statement/prospectus, and all filing and other fees paid to the SEC in connection with the Mergers. If the Mergers are not completed, Atleos would have to pay these expenses without realizing the expected benefits of the Mergers.
Atleos will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the Mergers are pending.
Uncertainty about the effect of the Mergers on employees and customers may have an adverse effect on Atleos. These uncertainties may impair Atleos’ ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the Mergers are completed, and could cause customers and others that deal with Atleos to seek to change existing business relationships with Atleos. In addition, subject to certain exceptions, Atleos has agreed to operate its business in the ordinary course in all material respects prior to closing, and Atleos has agreed not to take certain specified actions, which could cause Atleos to be unable to pursue other beneficial opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the Mergers.
Shareholder litigation could prevent or delay the closing of the Mergers or otherwise negatively affect the business and operations of Atleos.
Securities and fiduciary lawsuits are often brought against public companies that have entered into acquisition, merger or other business combination agreements like the Merger Agreement. Even if such lawsuits are without merit, defending against these claims can result in substantial costs and divert management time and resources. Atleos may incur costs in connection with the defense or settlement of any shareholder lawsuits filed in connection with the Mergers. An adverse judgment in such a suit could result in monetary damages, which could have a negative impact on Atleos’ respective liquidity and financial conditions. Lawsuits that may be brought against Atleos or its directors and officers could also seek, among other things, injunctive relief or other equitable relief, including a request to rescind parts of the Merger Agreement already implemented and to otherwise enjoin the parties from consummating the Mergers. One of the conditions to the consummation of the Mergers is the absence of any judgment by any governmental authority of competent jurisdiction or any applicable law that enjoins, restrains or otherwise makes illegal, prevents or prohibits consummation of the Transactions. Consequently, if a plaintiff is successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting the closing of the Mergers, that injunction may delay or prevent the Mergers from being completed within the expected timeframe, or at all, which may adversely affect Atleos’ business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations. In addition, Atleos may terminate the Merger Agreement if any legal restraint that enjoins or otherwise prohibits closing of the Mergers has become final and non-appealable, so long as a breach by Atleos of any of its representations and warranties or obligations under the Merger Agreement was not the proximate cause of, and did not result in, such restraint. There can be no assurance that Atleos would be successful in the outcome of any potential future lawsuits. The defense or settlement of any lawsuit or claim may adversely affect Atleos’ business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

Revision. In connection with the preparation of our second and third quarterquarters 2025 financial statements, we identified misstatements in our previously-issued financial statements. Although not materially impacting any previously-reported periods, the misstatements resulted in immaterial misstatements in our historical financial statements and the revision of the first and second quarters of 2025.

On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that certain tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) were not valid, and on March 4, 2026, the Court of International Trade ruled that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) was required, subject to applicable procedures, to refund the IEEPA tariffs it had collected.

On February 26, 2026, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Atleos, The Brink’s Company, a Virginia corporation (“Brink’s”), Novus Merger Sub, Inc., a Maryland corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Brink’s (“Merger Sub I”) and Novus Merger Sub II, LLC, a Maryland limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Brink’s (“Merger Sub II”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) Merger Sub I will merge with and into Atleos (the “First Merger”), with Atleos surviving the First Merger as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Brink’s, and (ii) immediately following the First Merger, Atleos will merge with and into Merger Sub II (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with Merger Sub II surviving the Second Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Brink’s. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Brink’s will acquire each outstanding share of Atleos stock for $30.00 in cash, without interest, and 0.1574 shares of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Brink’s common stock. On June 30, 2026, the stockholders of both companies approved the Mergers. The Mergers are currently expected to close early in the first quarter of 2027, subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and the approval of both companies’ shareholders.approvals. In connection with the Mergers, on March 11, 2026, we received the requisite consents from holders of our 9.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”) and entered into a supplemental indenture to amend the defined term “Change of Control” to provide that the Mergers will not constitute a Change of Control and to add or amend certain other defined terms related to the Change of Control put provisions contained in the indenture governing the Notes (collectively, the “CoC Put Waiver”). As a result of the CoC Put Waiver, we are not required to repurchase any portion of the Notes as a result of the consummation of the Mergers. The supplemental indenture became effective immediately upon execution, but the CoC Put Waiver will not become operative until immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger and will cease to be operative if the First Merger is not consummated or we do not pay the consent fee to the paying agent on behalf of the holders.
•Total revenue of $1.10 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was flat year over year, including $776 million of recurring revenue ($772 million of recurring revenue in the prior year period). For the six months ended June 30, 2026, total revenue increased 3% to $2.15 billion, including $1.53 billion of recurring revenue, compared to $2.08 billion and $1.51 billion, respectively, in the comparative prior year period. Revenue growth for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was driven by software and services revenues, including ATMaaS, while revenue in our network business decreased due to lower demand for crypto transactions. Hardware sales and associated installation services also contributed an offset to revenue growth in the three months ended June 30, 2026 due to the timing of delivery in the prior year, with overall growth for the six months ended June 30, 2026. Other revenues declined due to an expected reduction in commercial agreements and commerce-related contracts with Voyix.
•For the three months ended June 30, 2026, gross margin increased 510 basis points to 28.0% and adjusted gross margin increased 530 basis points to 30.2%. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, gross margin increased 200 basis points to 25.3% and adjusted gross margin increased 200 basis points to 27.4%. These increases were driven by net tariff refunds, favorable product mix in software and services, productivity initiatives, and positive settlement processing and lower vault cash costs in the network business, offset by an increase in other costs, including fuel and memory chips.
•Total revenue increased 7% or $64 million, to $1.04 billion, including $754 million of recurring revenue, compared to $979 million and $741 million, respectively, in the prior year period, driven by continued growth in ATMaaS and stronger demand for hardware and associated installation services.
•Gross margin decreased, due to the impact of higher tariffs and increases in vault cash cost and the cost of certain components used in manufacturing. Gross margin decreased 130 basis points to 22.4%, and adjusted gross margin decreased 140 basis points to 24.5%.

•Income before income taxes increased to $90 million and $123 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to $57 million and $79 million in the prior year periods as the impact of lower interest costs on our debt was offset by reduced gains from business disposals relative to the prior year period.
•Income before income taxes increased to $33 million compared to $22 million in the prior year period, driven by a gain on divestiture of a non-core business, higher income related to our company-sponsored defined benefit plan and lower interest costs.
The following tables show our key financial and performance metrics for the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, the relative percentage that those amounts represent to total revenue, and the change in those amounts year over year.
(1) Refer to our definition of Recurring revenue in the section entitled “Key Financial and Performance Metrics.”
Other performance metrics
Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) (non-GAAP) and Adjusted EBITDA margin (non-GAAP) are calculated as GAAP Net income (loss) attributable to Atleos plus interest expense, netexpense; plus income tax expense (benefit); plus depreciation and amortization; plus acquisition-related costs, including costs related to the Brink’s transaction; plus pension mark-to-market adjustments and other one-time pension-related costs; plus separation-related costs; plus transformation and restructuring charges, which include integration, severance, divestiture and other exit and disposal costs; plus stock-based compensation expense; plus Voyix legal and environmental indemnification expense; plus other amounts included in Other income (expense), net. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by total revenue, and Adjusted EBITDA margin by segment is calculated based on segment Adjusted EBITDA divided by the related segment revenue. We use these non-GAAP measures to evaluate performance consistently from period to period.
Adjusted free cash flow-unrestricted (non-GAAP) is calculated as net cash (used in) provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, less additions to capitalized software, plus/minus the change in restricted cash settlement activity, plus proceeds from certain sale-leaseback transactions, plus pension contributions and settlements, and plus legal and environmental indemnification payments made to Voyix.Voyix, and plus certain significant acquisition-related payments. Restricted cash settlement activity represents the net change in amounts collected on behalf of, but not yet remitted to, certain of our merchant customers or third-party service providers that are pledged for a particular use or restricted to support these obligations. These amounts can fluctuate significantly period to period based on the number of days for which settlement has not yet occurred or day of the week on which a reporting period ends. We believe Adjusted free cash flow-unrestricted is useful for investors because it indicates the amount of cash available for, among other things, investments in our existing businesses, strategic acquisitions and repayment of our debt obligations. Adjusted free cash flow-unrestricted does not represent the residual cash flow available, since there may be other non-discretionary expenditures that are not deducted from the measure.

Consolidated revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased 3% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. Revenue growth for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was driven by software and services revenues, including ATMaaS. Hardware sales and associated installation services contributed an offset to revenue growth in the three months ended June 30, 2026 due to timing of delivery in the prior year, with overall growth for the six months ended June 30, 2026. Other revenues for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 declined due to an expected reduction in commercial agreements and commerce-related contracts with Voyix.
Gross margin increased to 28.0% and 25.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared with 22.9% and 23.3%, respectively, for the corresponding comparative prior year periods. Adjusted gross margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 increased from 24.9% and 25.4% to 30.2% and 27.4%, respectively.
These increases were driven by tariff refunds, favorable product mix in software and services, productivity initiatives, and positive settlement activity and lower vault cash costs in the network business, offset by an increase in other costs, including fuel and memory chips.
Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased to 22.4% compared to 23.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the impact of higher tariffs and increases in vault cash expense and the cost of certain components used in manufacturing, partially offset by a favorable mix of higher margin software and services revenue, including ATMaaS growth. Adjusted gross margin decreased from 25.9% to 24.5% as a result of the factors discussed above.

Our ability to generate positive cash flows from operations is dependent on general economic conditions and the competitive environment in our industry, and is subject to the business and other risk factors described in Item 1A of Part I of our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K10-K, Item 1A of Part II of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on May 7, 2026, and Item 1A of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (as applicable). If we are unable to generate sufficient cash from operations, or otherwise comply with the terms of our credit facilities, we may be required to seek additional financing alternatives. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on acceptable terms in the future.
We believe that our cash balances and funds provided by operating activities, along with our borrowing capacity under the senior secured credit facility and access to capital markets, taken as a whole, provide (i) adequate liquidity to meet all of our current and long-term (i.e., beyond MarchJune 31,30, 2027) material cash requirements when due, including third-party debt, (ii) adequate liquidity to fund capital expenditures and (iii) flexibility to pursue investment opportunities that may arise. We expect to utilize our cash flows to continue to invest in our business, people and the communities we operate in, as well as to repay our indebtedness over time.
Our most critical accounting estimates pertain to revenue recognition, inventory valuation, goodwill, pension, postretirement and post-employmentpostemployment benefits, and income taxes. These are described in Part II, Item 7 of our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
