2021 Acquisitions

Acquisition of Cardtronics plc

On January 25, 2021, NCR entered into a definitive agreement to acquire all outstanding shares of Cardtronics for $39.00 per share (the “Cardtronics Transaction”). The legal closing of the Cardtronics Transaction occurred on June 21, 2021.

Cardtronics is the world's largest non-bank ATM operator and service provider, enabling cash transactions by converting digital currency into physical cash at over 285,000 ATMs across 10 countries in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Africa. The Cardtronics Transaction is expected to accelerate our NCR-as-a-service strategy and enhance our ability to provide technology solutions and capabilities that run our customers’ businesses.

Purchase Price Consideration The purchase consideration transferred consisted of the following:

In millionsPurchase Consideration
Cash paid to common stockholders and holders of certain restricted stock and stock option awards$1,775 
Debt repaid by NCR on behalf of Cardtronics809 
Transaction costs paid by NCR on behalf of Cardtronics57 
Fair value of converted Cardtronics awards attributable to pre-combination services19 
Settlement of pre-existing relationships14 
Total purchase consideration$2,674 

Other than certain outstanding restricted stock and stock option awards issued to directors which were paid out in cash at closing, the Company converted outstanding unvested Cardtronics awards into NCR awards pursuant to an exchange ratio as defined in the acquisition agreement. Each restricted stock award that was outstanding, whether performance-based or time-based, was converted into time-based awards, and will continue to be governed by the same vesting terms as the original Cardtronics awards. Cardtronics stock option awards were converted into NCR stock option awards with an exercise price per share for option awards equal to the exercise price per share of such stock option award immediately prior to the completion of the acquisition divided by the exchange ratio, and will continue to be governed generally by the same terms and conditions as were applicable prior to the acquisition. The amounts attributable to services already rendered were included as an adjustment to the purchase price and the amounts attributable to future services will be expensed over the remaining vesting period, net of estimated forfeitures. The fair value of options that the Company assumed in connection with the acquisition of Cardtronics were estimated using the Black-Scholes model.

Recording of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed The fair value of consideration transferred to acquire Cardtronics was allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition as set forth below.

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price for Cardtronics is as follows:
In millionsFair Value
Assets acquired
      Cash and restricted cash$291 
      Trade accounts receivable85 
      Prepaid expenses, other current assets and other assets194 
      Property, plant and equipment362 
      Estimated acquisition-related intangible assets864 
Total assets acquired$1,796 
Liabilities assumed726 
Net assets acquired, excluding goodwill1,070 
Total purchase consideration2,674 
Estimated goodwill$1,604 

We recorded a preliminary allocation of the purchase price to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of June 21, 2021. In determining the provisional fair value, the Company utilized various methods of the income, cost, and market approaches depending on the asset or liability being fair valued. The estimation of fair value required significant judgment related to future net cash flows (including revenue growth rate, EBITDA margins, and customer attrition), discount rates reflecting the risk inherent in each cash flow stream, competitive trends, market comparables, and other factors. Inputs were generally determined by taking into account historical data (supplemented by current and anticipated market conditions) and growth rates.

Direct customer relationships and technology - software were valued using an excess earnings method. Significant assumptions used in the discounted cash flow analysis for (i) direct customer relationships were the revenue growth rate, customer attrition rate, and discount rate, and (ii) technology - software were the revenue growth rate, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) margins, and discount rate. The valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is subject to revision. If additional information becomes available, the company may further revise the purchase price allocation as soon as practical, but no later than one year from the acquisition date; however, material changes are not excepted.

Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be separately recognized. The goodwill arising from the acquisition consists of revenue and cost synergies expected from combining the operations of NCR and Cardtronics. It is expected that approximately $139 million of the goodwill recognized in connection with the acquisition will be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill arising from the acquisition has been allocated to our Banking segment. Refer to Note 2, “Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets”, for the carrying amounts of goodwill by segment as of December 31, 2021.

The following table sets forth the components of the intangible assets acquired as of the acquisition date:

(In millions) (In years)
Direct customer relationships$373 15
Technology - Software441 8

Tradenames49 4
Total acquired intangible assets$864 

(1) Determination of the weighted average period of the individual categories of intangible assets was based on the nature of the applicable intangible asset and the expected future cash flows to be derived from the intangible asset. Amortization of intangible assets with definite lives is recognized over the period of time the assets are expected to contribute to future cash flows.

In connection with the closing of the acquisition, the Company incurred transaction costs of $46 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, which has been included within Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
