2. Key Developments Impacting Q3 2025
Completion of NCR Atleos Spin-Off
On October 16, 2023, NCR Voyix successfully completed its spin-off of ATM-focused businesses into a separate entity known as NCR Atleos. This transaction, executed on a tax-free basis, aims to streamline operations and allow both companies to focus on their core competencies. The historical financial results of NCR Atleos are now classified as discontinued operations in NCR Voyix's financial reports.
Sale of Digital Banking Business
In a significant move, NCR Voyix finalized the sale of its Digital Banking segment on September 30, 2024, to an affiliate of The Veritas Capital Fund VIII, L.P. This transaction, valued at $2.45 billion in cash, is expected to bolster NCR Voyix’s financial position, although it is recognized as a discontinued operation in the company's financial statements.
Transition to ODM Model for Hardware Business
NCR Voyix announced a strategic shift in its hardware business model on August 6, 2024, transitioning to an outsourced design and manufacturing model in collaboration with Ennoconn Corporation. This move is designed to optimize costs and improve scalability, with implementation set to begin in January 2026.
Cybersecurity Challenges
NCR Voyix faced a cyber ransomware incident in April 2023, which led to significant operational impacts. As of September 30, 2025, the company has incurred approximately $47 million in expenses related to this incident, recovering $36 million through insurance. Ongoing efforts are focused on recovering additional costs.
Fraudulent Disbursements
In February 2024, NCR Voyix detected fraudulent automated clearing house (ACH) disbursements totaling $34 million. The company has since recovered around $16 million, continuing to pursue further recoveries through insurance claims.
3. Financial Performance Overview
Q3 2025 Results
For the third quarter of 2025, NCR Voyix reported revenue of $684 million, reflecting a 3% decrease year-over-year. However, recurring revenue saw a 5% increase, representing 62% of total revenue. The company incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $17 million, an improvement from a net loss of $29 million in the previous year.
Revenue Breakdown
Total revenue decreased by 3% compared to Q3 2024, primarily driven by an 8% decline in product revenue, attributed to lower self-checkout and point-of-sale hardware sales. Service revenue experienced a slight decline of 1%, influenced by decreased one-time implementation services, although software maintenance and payment processing revenues increased.
The revenue performance for the nine months ending September 30, 2025, reflected an 8% decrease overall, with product revenue down by 21%.
Segment Performance
Post spin-off, NCR Voyix operates primarily in two segments: Retail and Restaurants.
- Retail Segment: Revenue decreased by 4% for Q3 and 10% for the nine-month period, driven by declines in hardware and software license revenues, despite a 4% growth in recurring revenues.
- Restaurants Segment: Revenue remained stable for the third quarter but decreased by 1% for the nine months, largely due to lower one-time service revenues, offset by increases in payment processing and hardware maintenance revenue.
