Acquisition of LibertyX (2022)

On January 5, 2022, NCR completed its acquisition of Moon Inc., dba LibertyX, a leading cryptocurrency software provider, with the goal of enabling NCR to provide a complete digital currency solution, including the ability to buy and sell cryptocurrency, conduct cross-border remittance, and accept digital currency payments across digital and physical channels. The Company purchased all outstanding shares of LibertyX for $1 million cash consideration and approximately 1.4 million shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $42.13 per share. The Company also converted approximately 0.2 million outstanding unvested LibertyX option awards into NCR awards pursuant to an exchange ratio as defined in the acquisition agreement. LibertyX 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 vested immediately. The value of the option awards was deemed attributable to services already rendered and was included as a portion of the purchase price. Total purchase consideration for the LibertyX acquisition was approximately $69 million. As a result of the acquisition, LibertyX became a wholly-owned subsidiary of NCR.

Recording of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed The fair value of consideration transferred 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 amounts for intangible assets are based on third-party valuations performed. The final allocation of the purchase price is as follows:

In millionsFair Value

Acquired intangible assets other than goodwill38
Acquired goodwill40
Deferred tax liabilities(10)
Liabilities assumed(4)
Total purchase consideration$69 

Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually separately recognized. The goodwill arising from the acquisition consists of revenue and cost synergies expected from combining the operations of NCR and LibertyX and is not deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill arising from the LibertyX acquisition has been allocated to our Payments & Network segment. Refer to Note 3, “Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets”, for the carrying amounts of goodwill by segment.

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

Total acquired intangible assets$38 
(1) Determination of the weighted average period of the individual categories of intangible assets was based on the nature of 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.

The operating results of LibertyX have been included within NCR's results since the closing date of the acquisition. Supplemental pro forma information and actual revenue and earnings since the acquisition date have not been provided as the acquisition did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Other Acquisitions (2022)
On July 1, 2022, NCR completed its acquisition of the India ATM business of FIS Payment Solutions & Services Private Limited for consideration of $19 million, of which $12 million has been paid in cash as of December 31, 2022. The India ATM business acquisition did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

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 was 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 allocation of the purchase price was finalized in June 2022.
The final 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 assets193 
      Property, plant and equipment362 
      Acquisition-related intangible assets864 
Total assets acquired$1,795 
Liabilities assumed733 
Net assets acquired, excluding goodwill1,062 
Total purchase consideration2,674 
Estimated goodwill$1,612 

We recorded an 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 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.

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 Payments & Network and Self-Service Banking segments. Refer to Note 3, “Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets”, for the carrying amounts of goodwill by segment as of December 31, 2022.

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

(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. Refer to Note 5, “Debt Obligations”, for additional discussion on fees incurred related to the financing for the Cardtronics Transaction.
