- Total net sales decreased 12.1%, or $114.1 million year-over-year, due to longer lead times resulting from global supply chain and logistics issues.

- Non-GAAP operating profit declined by $86.3 million primarily due to revenue delays and inflationary raw material, labor and freight costs.

	Q1 2022		Q1 2021		TTM 3/31/2022
Net cash (used) provided by operating activities (GAAP measure)	$ (226.2)		$ (65.2)		$ (37.7)

- Free cash use of $234.4 million in the quarter was unfavorable by $164.6 million versus the prior year quarter reflecting the increase in net loss, the timing of payable disbursements and increased inventory purchases in response to longer lead times.

¹ - With respect to the Company's adjusted EBITDA and Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) outlook for 2022, the Company is not providing a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty those items that may affect such measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP without unreasonable effort. These measures primarily exclude net non-routine items. These reconciling items are uncertain, depend on various factors and could significantly impact, either individually or in the aggregate, operating profit and net income calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Please see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for additional information regarding the Company's use of non-GAAP financial measures.

² - Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations less capital expenditures, less cash used for capitalized software development, and excluding the impact of changes in cash of assets held for sale and the use of cash for M&A activities, and excluding the use of cash for the settlement of foreign exchange derivative instruments. With respect to the Company's non-GAAP free cash flow outlook for 2022, it is not providing a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure because it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty those items that may affect such measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP without unreasonable effort. This measure primarily excludes the future impact of changes in cash of assets held for sale, cash used for M&A activities and the settlement of foreign exchange derivative instruments. These reconciling items are uncertain, depend on various factors and could significantly impact, either individually or in the aggregate, net cash provided (used) by operating activities calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Please see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for additional information regarding the Company's use of non-GAAP financial measures.

³ - ROIC is defined as tax-effected adjusted operating profit (NOPAT), utilizing an estimated 30% effective tax rate, divided by average invested capital for the period.

⁴ - For additional information please see "Notes for Non-GAAP Measure" in the Company's press release of May 10, 2022 (note 1 for GAAP to Non-GAAP adjustments to gross profit and operating expenses, which include selling and administrative expense, research, development and engineering expense and impairment of assets; note 2 for adjusted EBITDA and note 3 for adjusted net income/loss and adjusted EPS) and the Company's financial statements as published under https://investors.dieboldnixdorf.com.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company considers certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, including non-GAAP results, adjusted diluted earnings per share, free cash flow (use) and unlevered free cash flow (use), net debt, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, segment gross profit, segment gross margin and constant currency results. The Company calculates constant currency by translating the prior year results at current year exchange rates. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to evaluate its operating and financial performance and to compare such performance to that of prior periods and to the performance of its competitors. Also, the Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making operational and financial decisions and in establishing operational goals. The Company also believes providing these non-GAAP financial measures to investors, as a supplement to GAAP financial measures, helps investors evaluate its operating and financial performance and trends in its business, consistent with how management evaluates such performance and trends. The Company also believes these non-GAAP financial measures may be useful to investors in comparing its performance to the performance of other companies, although its non-GAAP financial measures are specific to the Company and the non-GAAP financial measures of other companies may not be calculated in the same manner. The Company provides EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because it believes that investors and securities analysts will find EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to be useful measures for evaluating its operating performance and comparing its operating performance with that of similar companies that have different capital structures and for evaluating its ability to meet its future debt service, capital expenditure and working capital requirements. The Company is also providing EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA in light of its credit agreement and the secured and unsecured senior notes. The Company considers free cash flow (use) to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business that, after the purchase of property and equipment and capitalized software development, changes in cash of assets held for sale and the use of cash for M&A activities, and excluding the use/proceeds of cash for the settlement of foreign exchange derivative instruments, can be used for debt servicing, strategic opportunities, including investing in the business, making strategic acquisitions, strengthening the balance sheet and paying dividends. Unlevered free cash flow (use) provides incremental visibility into the Company's liquidity by excluding cash used for interest payments from free cash flow (use). For additional information regarding the Company's use of non-GAAP financial measures, please refer to the Company's press release of May 10, 2022 and its financial statements as published under https://investors.dieboldnixdorf.com/.
