Diebold Finalizes Second Quarter Financial Results and Files Form 10-Q

NORTH CANTON, Ohio, Aug. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Diebold, Incorporated (NYSE: DBD) has finalized its second quarter 2013 financial results and today is filing its Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2013.

In the filing, the company adjusted the 2013 valuation allowance charge on certain Brazil deferred tax assets from $(0.51) per share to $(0.61) per share for the quarter, or $(0.62) for the year-to-date period.  This resulted in a revised second quarter 2013 loss from continuing operations of $(1.65) GAAP, or $(0.35) non-GAAP*. The second quarter non-GAAP* loss includes the valuation allowance on certain Brazil deferred tax assets of $(0.61).  The adjustment had no impact on Diebold's cash flow and no significant impact on its balance sheet.  In addition, the company has adjusted full-year 2013 non-GAAP* EPS guidance to $0.68 - $0.78, including the valuation allowance on certain Brazil deferred tax assets of $(0.62). Full disclosure of the Brazil tax matters is available in the company's Form 10-Q filed today.

*Reconciliation of diluted GAAP EPS to non-GAAP EPS from continuing operations measures:

The company's management believes excluding net restructuring charges/(benefits), non-routine expenses/income and impairment charges is useful to investors because it provides an overall understanding of the company's historical financial performance and future prospects. Exclusion of these items permits evaluation and comparison of results for the company's core business operations, and it is on this basis that management internally assesses the company's performance. The company has also excluded a Brazil valuation allowance as well as the deferred tax effect of cash repatriation from its non-GAAP results. The sums of the quarterly figures do not equal year-to-date figures due to rounding or differences in the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the respective periods. 

Full-year 2013 Outlook

The following statements are based on current expectations.  These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. These statements do not include the potential impact of any currency fluctuations, future mergers, acquisitions, disposals or other business combinations, or any final resolution to the FCPA matter, the Brazil tax assessment or the value-added tax compliance analysis.
