Posted by Brian Himes on Oct 28th, 2026

Here are the key takeaways from Diebold Nixdorf’s conference call:

Third-quarter revenue rose 5% to $991 million and adjusted EBITDA increased 5% to $128 million, while retail revenue grew 16% year over year for the fourth consecutive quarter of double-digit growth.
Diebold Nixdorf reduced its full-year outlook, now expecting revenue of $3.86 billion–$3.90 billion, adjusted EBITDA of $490 million–$510 million, free cash flow of $190 million–$210 million, and adjusted EPS of $4.50–$4.85. The revision reflects weaker product mix, elevated memory costs, lower banking volumes, and higher working capital requirements.
Product gross margin declined to 22.1% from 27.4% a year earlier, with approximately $25 million of net memory-cost and pricing headwinds expected for 2026; management expects most customer pricing provisions to be in place by the end of the fourth quarter.

Management highlighted expanding opportunities in North American retail, banking automation, recurring services, and Smart Vision AI, which is on track to exceed 1,000 deployments by year-end; Diebold Nixdorf is also developing a global ATM-outsourcing collaboration with Euronet.
