Third Quarter 2025 Operating Results

Revenue

Total Revenue increased 4% or $48 million, to $1.12 billion in the third quarter of 2025, including $783 million of recurring revenue, compared to $1.07 billion and $785 million, respectively, in the prior year period. Core Revenue, which excludes business with Voyix, improved 6% to $1.11 billion, compared to $1.05 billion in the prior year period, driven by continued growth in ATMaaS and stronger hardware demand. Results were partially offset by more muted network transaction volumes which have been impacted by U.S. immigration policy.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross Profit for the third quarter of 2025 increased 6% to $271 million, compared to $256 million in the prior year period. Gross Margin of 24.2% increased 30 basis points from the prior year period. Adjusted Gross Profit was $297 million, an increase of 6% when compared to $280 million in the prior year period. Results were driven by an improved mix in hardware as well as ATMaaS growth and were partially offset by higher cash vault interest expense. Adjusted gross margin increased 40 basis points to 26.5%, compared to 26.1% in the prior year period.

Net Income and Net Income Margin

Net income attributable to Atleos increased 24% to $26 million, or 2% of revenue, compared to $21 million, or 2% of revenue in the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin

Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2025 increased 7% to $219 million. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 19.5% expanded 40 basis points from 19.1% in the prior year period.

Other Results

Net cash provided by operating activities was $27 million. Adjusted free cash flow-unrestricted was $124 million.

Full Year 2025 Guidance

Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings Per Share, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow – unrestricted are non-GAAP financial measures. A discussion of these non-GAAP measures, including a reconciliation to the most closely correlated GAAP measure, is attached to this release. With respect to our Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Free Cash Flow-unrestricted and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share guidance, we do not provide a reconciliation to the most closely correlated GAAP measures because we are not able to predict with reasonable certainty the reconciling items that may affect net income, cash flow from operating activities and diluted earnings per share without unreasonable effort. The reconciling items are primarily the future impact of special tax items, capital structure transactions, restructuring, pension mark-to-market transactions, acquisitions or divestitures, or other events. These reconciling items are uncertain, depend on various factors and could significantly impact, either individually or in the aggregate, the GAAP measures.

Notes to Investors

Revision. During the second and third quarters of 2025, the Company identified immaterial misstatements in its previously issued financial statements. These misstatements resulted in an overstatement of previously reported pre-tax income during fiscal year 2023 of approximately $18 million, an overstatement of pre-tax income of approximately $14 million during fiscal year 2024, and overstatements of pre-tax income of approximately $4 million and $6 million during the first and second quarter of fiscal year 2025, respectively, as well as an impact to the previously-reported amounts in each of the interim periods within fiscal years 2023 and 2024.

The Company evaluated the impact of these misstatements to the previously issued annual and interim financial statements and determined that they were not material to any period. However, the Company is revising the previously-issued financial statements for impacted periods. The financial information included in this release reflects the revision.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") with certain non-GAAP adjusted financial measures. Management views and evaluates business performance on both a GAAP basis and by excluding costs and benefits associated with these non-GAAP adjusted financial measures. As a result, we believe the presentation of these non-GAAP adjusted financial measures better enables users of our financial information to view and evaluate underlying business performance from the same perspective as management.

Non-GAAP adjusted financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as an alternative for, our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP 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.

Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin, Non-GAAP Adjusted Income from Operations, and Non-GAAP Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share exclude, as applicable, acquisition-related costs; pension mark-to-market adjustments and other one-time pension-related costs; separation-related costs; amortization of acquisition-related intangibles; stock-based compensation expense; transformation and restructuring charges (which includes integration, severance, divestiture and other exit and disposal costs); Voyix legal and environmental indemnification expense; foreign currency remeasurement impacts in hyper-inflationary countries; and other non-recurring or unusual items. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate performance consistently over various periods.

Non-GAAP Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are determined by taking Net income (loss) attributable to Atleos and adding back interest expense, net; income tax expense (benefit); depreciation and amortization; acquisition-related costs; pension mark-to-market adjustments and other one-time pension-related costs; separation-related costs; transformation and restructuring charges (which includes integration, severance, divestiture and other exit and disposal costs); stock-based compensation expense; Voyix legal and environmental indemnification expense; and other amounts included in Other income (expense), net. Adjusted EBITDA margin by segment is calculated based on segment Adjusted EBITDA divided by the related segment component of revenue. Management use these non-GAAP measures to allocate resources and to evaluate performance consistently over various periods.

Adjusted free cash flow-unrestricted is calculated as net cash 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. Restricted cash settlement activity represents the net change in amounts collected on behalf of, but not yet remitted to, certain of the Company's 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 this non-GAAP measure is useful for investors because it indicates the amount of cash available for, among other things, investments in our existing businesses or strategic acquisitions, as well as other non-discretionary expenditures including repayment of our debt obligations.

Constant Currency excludes the effects of foreign currency translation by translating prior period results at current period monthly average exchange rates. Due to the overall variability of foreign exchange rates from period to period, management uses constant currency measures to compare performance consistently over various periods.

Use of Certain Terms

Core revenue refers to the revenue of our reportable segments (Self-Service Banking, Network and T&T).

Recurring revenue. 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-related revenue, and certain professional services arrangements, as well as term-based software license arrangements that include customer termination rights.

Annualized Recurring Revenue ("ARR"). We define this operating metric 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. We believe 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 does not necessarily reflect the pattern of revenue recognition in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for GAAP revenue.

Last twelve months average revenue per unit ("LTM ARPU"). We define this operating metric for the Network segment, as total Network segment revenue for the previous twelve months divided by the average Network Managed Units for the previous twelve months. We believe this metric may be useful to investors in evaluating the Company's achievement of strategic goals related to the improved monetization of our ATM fleet over a specified period, excluding the impact of seasonality. LTM ARPU does not represent revenue generated solely by our Network Managed Units, as total Network segment revenue includes revenue generated from other sources.

Network Managed Units are all transacting ATMs as of period end, whether Company-owned or Merchant-owned, other than those for which we only provide third party processing services and those under legacy managed services arrangements.

The following table presents the recurring revenue and all other products and services revenue that is recognized at a point in time:
