The business’s revenue was up 4.0% compared to the same quarter last year. During the same quarter in the prior year, the business earned $1.11 EPS.

Here are the key takeaways from NCR Atleos’ conference call:

• Brink’s announced a proposed $6.6 billion acquisition of NCR Atleos consisting of $30 cash plus 0.1574 Brink’s shares per Atleos share, with an expected close in Q1 2027 and a roughly 12-month timeline to completion.
• The companies expect the combined business to generate about $10 billion of revenue and ~$2 billion of Adjusted EBITDA (near 20% margins), with the purchase at ~7x 2026 EBITDA falling below 6x after an expected $200 million annual run-rate of cost synergies and projected >35% EPS accretion in year one and ~ $1 billion annual free cash flow.
• Management says the deal is strategically complementary — NCR Atleos brings ~600,000 ATMs, software and ATM-as-a-Service scale that should deepen Brink’s ATM managed services (AMS) and Digital Retail Solutions (DRS) offerings and enable cross-selling, route densification and cost optimization.
• The transaction is subject to customary regulatory and shareholder approvals and integration execution risks (potential distraction), will be funded with cash and a committed bridge facility, and Brink’s plans to reach net leverage of 2–3x EBITDA by end of 2027 while managing the integration.
