To ask a question, you may press star then 1 on your telephone keypad. To withdraw your question, please press star then 2. Please note this event is being recorded. This call and the Q&A session that follows the call will contain forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from projected or estimated results. In particular, forward-looking financial information for the combined company is inherently uncertain due to a number of factors outside of Brinks' and NCR Atleos' control. Information regarding factors that could cause differences in actual results are available in today's press release and presentation and in Brinks and NCR Atleos' SEC filings. The information presented and discussed on the call is representative of today only. Brinks and NCR Atleos assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements. The call is copyrighted and may not be used without written permission from Brinks and NCR Alios. I will now turn it over to your host, Jesse Jenkins, Vice President of Investor Relations. Mr. Jenkins, you may begin.

Thanks and good afternoon. Here with me today are Brinks CEO and CFO Mark Eubanks and Kurt McMacken, as well as NCR Alios President and CEO Tim Oliver. This morning, a joint press release was issued, and both companies filed 8Ks with pertinent details of the proposed $6.6 billion acquisition of NCR Atleos by Brinks. The transaction is subject to the completion of customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and approval by Brinks and NCR Atleos shareholders. Additional details, including risk factors related to the transaction, can be found in these filings and on both companies' websites. This afternoon, both companies also reported fourth quarter and full year 2025 results on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis. Any reference to non-GAAP financial measures during this presentation are intended to provide investors with a supplemental comparison of Brink's operating results and trends for the periods presented. Brink believes these measures allow investors to better compare performance over time and to evaluate its performance using the same metrics as management. Reconciliation of Brink's non-GAAP results to its most comparable GAAP results are provided in its earnings release, the appendix of its earnings presentation, and the related Form 8K filing, each of which can be found on Brink's website. While most of today's call will be focused on the transaction announcement, we and the NCR Atleos Investor Relations team will be happy to follow up with any questions related to earnings results.

I will now turn the call over to Brink's CEO, Mark Eubanks. thanks jesse good afternoon everyone before i speak to the exciting transaction we announced today i'll briefly touch on the strong fourth quarter and full year 2025 results which were at or above the midpoint of our guidance on all metrics we delivered another year of meaningful strategic progress with strong organic growth from atm managed services and digital retail solutions while expanding our adjusted EBITDA margins by 40 basis points and, importantly, delivering $436 million of free cash flow. Our normal detailed quarterly results presentation, including our Q1-2026 guidance and full-year framework, can be found on our investor website. As Jesse mentioned, we'll be happy to answer questions and provide additional details on our 2025 results and 2026 standalone guidance when we meet with analysts and investors in the coming days. Moving on now to the news of the day, we're excited to announce that we've agreed to acquire NCR Atleos, bringing together two complementary, trusted, and globally recognized financial technology infrastructure providers to better serve both banking and retail customers. Our two companies share a customer-focused culture, a passion for innovation and continuous improvement, and each have trusted brands that have served financial institutions and retail customers for over a century. NCR Atlios and its management team have delivered impressive performance since their spinoff a few years ago. Strategically, NCR Atlios' large installed base of ATMs and capabilities in software, service, and ATM management complement our global cash management expertise and route-based infrastructure. Together, we will be able to better serve our retail and bank customers who are increasingly looking for a broader set of solutions. The combined business will have an enhanced scale and is expected to have total revenue of approximately $10 billion, with adjusted EBITDA of approximately $2 billion and adjusted EBITDA margins approaching 20%. We expect the financial profile of the combined company to be resilient with expanded recurring subscription-based revenue, a resilient mid-single-digit organic revenue growth outlook, and the potential for margin expansion through an enhanced offering of value-added services and cost optimization activities beyond our announced transaction-related synergies. The combined capabilities of the companies will provide solutions for ATM owners across every touchpoint in the value chain, from equipment purchase all the way through the logistics and service networks. Our holistic product offering will allow us to accelerate the recent positive trends in bank outsourcing that have delivered growth for both companies over the last few years. Adding a global service base of 600,000 ATMs from NCR Atleos will create additional opportunity in some of our largest markets as we integrate our cash handling solutions. This combination also presents meaningful opportunities to enhance our growth in digital retail solutions, or DRS. In addition to an integrated AMS-DRS whole store efficiency opportunity that I'll discuss in more detail in a few slides, NCR Atlios' added network density will allow us to further optimize our existing cost structure. The efficiencies will further enable us to provide a compelling cash management value proposition to customers that previously did not consider an outsourced provider because of cost. Our ability to serve these customers expands our addressable market opportunity and drives continued growth opportunities with our high-margin DRS solutions. The economics of the deal are also quite compelling for shareholders. The current purchase price reflects a seven times multiple on consensus estimates for NCR Atleos' 2026 adjusted EBITDA. When you factor in an expected $200 million annual run rate cost synergies, which are expected to be captured over the next three years, the multiple reduces to below six times. The deal is expected to be at least 35% accretive in year one EPS and deliver approximately $1 billion of free cash flow, allowing considerable capital flexibility and the ability to make returns to shareholders. The strategic logic is compelling, and the financial benefits of the acquisition are attractive in both the near and long term. We're excited about the potential of adding new capabilities and customers across our shared networks. Now, I'd like to invite Tim to give a brief overview of NCR Atleos and have him speak directly to what attracted him to the combination. Thanks for joining us, Tim.

Thank you, Mark. First, I want to express my appreciation to our respective transaction teams that completed a tremendous amount of work with high fidelity, efficiency, and somehow still cordial dispositions. There is a natural fit between our two companies. Brinks and NCR Atleos have been vendors to each other and customers of one another for more than decades. And both have been staunch supporters of payment choice and financial access. Many of the members in our leadership team have known each other for years, and those relationships will be very beneficial as we move into the integration. And Mark and I share a similar people-first approach to business, and that is evident in the cultures that both of our companies demonstrate. I also share Mark's enthusiasm for this combination. Our complementary expertise and global presence will catalyze innovation efforts and enhance customer service levels. And we're coming together at the right time. Not only are both companies operating well and posting strong financial results, but the outsourcing of self-service banking by financial institutions and retailers is accelerating, and our ATM as a service business model and shared financial utility networks can both provide efficient and comprehensive solutions to meet this trend. We are extremely excited about the opportunity to enhance the value proposition and benefit we will bring to all of our stakeholders, our customers, our partners, our employees, and our shareholders alike. As Mark said, we are redefining cash management by advancing and continuously innovating ATM technology and services. By combining our service capabilities and providing a wider and more integrated set of offerings, we will create a leading financial technology infrastructure company. For those of you who are new to the Atleos story, let me give a brief overview of who we are. We became an independent company in the fall of 2023 after separating from Legacy NCR. Atleos was the ATM business within the larger organization, and for the last two and a half years, our sole focus has been delivering excellent services and innovation in the self-service banking industry. We provide end-to-end ATM management as well as owned and operated utility ATM networks and fast-growing ATM-as-a-service outsourcing solutions. One of our greatest strengths is our extensive global installed base of approximately 600,000 ATMs, 80,000 of which are in a utility ATM network, including the Allpoint Network in the U.S., located in high-traffic blue-chip retail locations. The customers leveraging our ATM offerings are some of the most well-known financial institutions and retailers in the world, such as Capital One, Citibank, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, 7-Eleven, CVS, Kroger, and many others. Match service and software subscription model contracts drive strong recurring revenue with predictable and growing free cash flow and steady margin expansion. While the highlight of today is this combination, we also did report our full year 2025 results in a separate release. Quickly then, our 2025 was a successful and transformational year for NCR Atleos. We extended our global service to ATM estate, increased customer satisfaction levels to new highs, grew revenue, profitability, earnings, and cash flow. Underlying our strong performance were significant new business wins with both existing and new customers, rapid growth in our ATM as a service and geographic expansion of both our network and the ATM as a service business. We believe our complementary operational strengths and these growth trajectories will be immediately additive to Brink's financial model, which Kirk will walk you through a little bit later. This transaction is a win for our shareholders and is consistent with the value creation model that supported the decision to spin out just two years ago. The transaction value offers a significant and compelling premium. And with approximately 40% of the purchase price delivered in Brink's shares, our investors will continue to participate in the synergistic benefits of this transaction. I want to thank the entire NCR Atleos team for your unwavering dedication and relentless effort that has allowed us to accomplish so much in so short a period of time. Your operational and technical excellence enables this very strategic outcome. While we work to close the transaction, we will continue to provide customers with the very best-in-class service. Mark, I look forward to working with you and Kurt to optimize the benefits of this combination, and with that, I'll hand it back to you to walk through the strategic rationale and the value creation for our stakeholders and shareholders. Over to you.

Thanks, Tim. I look forward to working together as we progress towards the completion of this transaction. Turning to slide five, you can see the compelling financial combination of the two companies. The combined revenue and EBITDA of $10 billion and $2 billion, respectively, we roughly double the size of the company. From a portfolio view, we're increasing the percentage of the business that moves to subscription-based recurring revenue contracts, which provides more predictability and consistency to an expected mid-single-digit organic growth profile. With EBITDA margins already approaching 20% before we add in the $200 million of annual synergy potential, the combined business will be well-positioned to generate over a billion dollars in free cash flow annually within a couple years as we combine our efforts to grow EBITDA, improve capital efficiency, and shorten our cash cycle. The complementary nature of our business is evident as you look across the components of the ATM ownership value chain. After the combination, we'll be able to provide best-in-class capabilities across every customer touchpoint to meet the growing needs of both retail and financial institution customers. With the service, software, and hardware capabilities of NCR Atleos and the safety, security, and reliability of the Brinks Logistics Network, vertically integrating will benefit our banking customers by reducing costs and simplifying the ATM ownership and management. As we incorporate NCR Atleos' differentiated financial access platforms and technology with our complete end-to-end service stack, we can create best-in-class outsourcing capabilities. These solutions are expected to drive significant growth as ATM outsourcing services continue to solve customer needs. Both companies are already strategically focused on moving customers up the value chain from basic hardware, repairs, and cash logistics to unlock productivity and improve service quality under a managed services or full outsourcing model. We'll be able to solve any ATM owner's needs through a better optimized cost structure that will provide compelling value propositions for customers as they look for outsourced solutions for increasingly complex and costly systems and processes. As we already see in Europe, many governments are exploring options to require banks to maintain cash access points. Our ability to reduce cost of ownership for banks without sacrificing service quality is vital to ensuring cash access for end consumers in an increasingly digital world. Through existing global partnerships and service relationships with many leading financial institutions, we believe our combined capabilities will drive further penetration into the growing and evolving addressable market as more ATM owners look to reduce costs by capitalizing on our efficiencies. On to slide seven. Beyond direct ATM management for financial institutions, I want to take a minute to outline how this combination supports our growth aspirations in the retail channel as well. We both believe this acquisition presents significant opportunity for our DRS business. Today, Brinks and NCR Atleos both manage ATMs inside of retail locations around the globe. For NCR Atleos, this often involves a subcontracted provider performing cash logistics services, and for customers, this often involves multiple vendor relationships to manage different types of services within the store. Often, when we service these locations, we see many other vendors operating in and around the payments ecosystem, from ATM replenishment to cash coordination at the register to first and second line maintenance of devices. This is obviously inefficient and costly for our retail customers and ultimately the consumer. Our combined business will be able to safely and securely streamline the entire cash and payments ecosystem, ultimately optimizing our cost structure. With a digitally connected DRS device and a fully monitored ATM, we can reduce our trips to the store while improving service levels and cash flow for the retailer. This is a win-win for retailers across the globe who are continuing to look for automation and reduced costs for all their payment systems. This is also a win for consumers that want a convenient access to cash and ubiquitous acceptance of cash at retail stores. While this level of optimization will take time, the addition of NCR Atleos' capabilities pulls forward our ability to capture this potential market. Beyond this compelling retail opportunity, bringing NCR Atleos' large, globally installed base of over 600,000 ATMs into our broader network will help densify our routes and improve our labor and capital efficiency around the world. Route optimization has been a priority for Brinks, especially in North America, where we were able to increase revenue per vehicle by 14% in 2025. Building off its early success, this combination will increase the density of our networks and enable us to continue to improve productivity and asset utilization. This productivity will allow us to offer a more competitive offering across nearly any business, moving us into previously untapped markets from large retailers down to small and medium-sized businesses. Now, I'd like to turn this over to Kurt to talk about some of the economics of the deal.

Thanks, Mark. Beyond the strategic merits Mark spoke about, we expect significant financial benefits from the combination. In terms of synergies, we expect to add $200 million of annual run rate synergies to the business. Our goal is to fully realize those synergies within three years, and we expect that the cost to capture will be roughly one-to-one. We have identified three major buckets of these synergies, with over half coming from duplicative SG&A costs. Our service network and infrastructure overlap is expected to produce approximately $70 million in savings, and combining our purchasing power should contribute another $25 million in procurement savings. It's important to note that while we expect some level of additional revenue synergies from cross-selling, like the integrated AMS-DRS offering Mark just mentioned, none of those synergies have been factored into the expected synergies discussed in the presentation. Over the course of the next 12 months, before closing, we will continue to work to refine these estimates and explore other potential avenues of savings. We're well positioned to unlock substantial value that sets the foundation for consistent long-term value creation. That value creation begins with the impressive cash generation potential the combination provides. In 2025, the two companies generated $762 million in free cash flow, converting 42% of the combined adjusted EBITDA. Both companies have capital efficiency and working capital optimization initiatives that are driving consistent improvements in cash generation. Combined, we will be able to continue to make progress in these areas. Looking out over the next few years, we have line of sight to over $1 billion of annual free cash flow, creating significant capital flexibility to execute our capital allocation priorities of investing in the business, reducing debt, and returning capital to shareholders. We expect this acquisition to take about 12 months to complete. During this period, both companies will shift capital allocation towards net debt reduction, working towards a targeted range of two to three times adjusted EBITDA. With the amount of cash expected to be generated by the combined company, we don't expect it to take long to reach our targeted debt levels by the end of 2027. Once we have achieved our targeted debt range, we fully expect to pivot capital allocation to shareholder returns. Before I turn it back to Mark, a quick review of the transaction details. We are purchasing NCR Atleos for an implied value of approximately $6.6 billion, composed of $30 per share in cash consideration and 0.1574 shares of BRINX for each common share of NCR Atleos. The cash component of the deal will be funded by cash on hand, as well as a fully committed bridge facility, which we have already secured. As previously discussed, we expect to recognize $200 million in annual run rate synergies within three years, and this deal is expected to be at least 35% accretive to EPS in year one. As I mentioned, we are targeting for the combined company's net debt leverage to return to two to three times by the end of 2027. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2027, subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approval and shareholder approvals from both companies. Before we open the line for questions, let me send it back to Mark for some closing remarks.

Thanks, Gert. As I close our prepared remarks, I wanted to emphasize how this deal accelerates our previously stated value creation priorities. Our first focus is to grow our business organically. While this transaction adds significant inorganic growth, we expect a combination to further solidify our long-term organic growth framework and our already fast-growing AMS and DRS customer offerings. In ATM Managed Services, we will deliver improved capabilities across every touchpoint in the ATM ownership value chain, allowing us to further advance customer outsourcing opportunities and drive higher revenue for ATM as we progress our customers up the value chain to more efficient service options. On the DRS side, we see additional opportunities to grow our business with a holistic cash payment ecosystem that integrates our AMS and DRS capabilities. From a profit perspective, we expect our margins will benefit from the $200 million in annual run rate synergies, but we will also see considerable productivity improvements as we optimize our routes within denser networks and cross-trained technicians to provide multiple services for customers. We also expect to continue ongoing lean waste elimination programs at both companies as our existing continuous improvement initiatives continue to mature. We previously discussed the accelerated free cash flow potential of the business. Beyond the additional cash flow synergies, we still see many opportunities with inventory, receivables, and payables to continue to shorten the cash cycle as we move towards combined free cash flow generation of approximately a billion dollars. And finally, all these efforts drive our overall goal of maximizing shareholder value. With net leverage expected to reduce below three times by the end of 2027, we will be able to quickly pivot capital allocation toward capital returns as we find accretive ways to deploy our cash that generates lasting value for our expanded shareholder base. As you can see, this deal is complementary to our stated value creation objectives and fits nicely within our previously discussed capital allocation framework with a quick delevering into our targeted range in less than a year. With sound strategic logic that will enable growth, cost efficiencies, and compelling deal economics, we expect this deal to advance our value creation efforts as we move forward And with that, we're happy to now take your questions. Operator, please open the line.

We will now begin the question and answer session. To ask a question, you may press star, then 1 on your telephone keypad. If you were using a speakerphone, please pick up your handset before pressing the keys. If at any time your question has been addressed and you would like to answer your question, please press star, then 2. At this time, we pause momentarily to assemble our roster. The first question comes from George Tong with Goldman Sachs. Please go ahead.

Hi, thanks. Good afternoon. You mentioned you expect $200 million in cost synergies from this transaction. Can you provide more details on where you expect this $200 million to come from, how much from routing, from the fleet, from overhead? Just some additional details would be great.

Yeah, sure. Hey, George, good afternoon. Thanks for the question. You know, I think this deal, the financial returns sort of speak for themselves, and the synergy is certainly part of that. But this is really a strategy first story and a number story second. I think the combination accelerates really already what we're doing in AMS and DRS and allows us to build on that momentum as we build out these complementary capabilities up and down the value chain. I think it also highlights the area of focus here that we're strengthening the highest return growth area in our business, you know, is AMS DRS. And this is mainly focused on the fact that we continue to see more and more opportunities with both banks and retailers looking to outsource cash management either through ATM outsourcing or through DRS. I think the synergies are just on top of that and clearly help us underwrite the value creation levers across the deal and across the economics. Maybe, Kurt, you want to talk about the synergies specifically.

Yeah, George. So, look, first of all, the $200 million in annual run rate synergies we're expecting to be hitting in the third year, look, we have a lot of confidence in. We've really worked hard to develop these together. As you can see in the presentation, a little bit over $100 million in the SG&A area. And, you know, we really see that very, very attractive to be able to get to those pretty readily and easily. The next biggest component is in our shared networks. You know, the reality is we do have a lot of shared network resources that we have the ability to really optimize together. and then procurement and just really realizing the benefits of much larger and leveraged spend across both of our organizations. So we feel really good about it. We actually feel like we'll have the opportunity to even go find more as we continue to work together between the organizations.

Yeah, I think, George, just to add on to that, you know, the good news is this $200 million we're talking about is really all within our control. You know, we don't need, you know, cooperation from the market or from any outside to deliver. It's all based, you know, sort of on cost. I think the other opportunity that Kurt alluded to or mentioned is, you know, any commercial opportunities or revenue synergies, these are all upside. They're not required for the financial case and are not included in the returns that we've shown.

That's very helpful. Thank you for that. And related to what you just mentioned around revenue synergies, is there a way to frame the potential upside from revenue synergies? You mentioned the strategic rationale of the combination is really what's driving this transaction. And you also mentioned that the organic growth of the combined company is going to remain around mid-single digits, which was Brinks' original longer-term growth target. So is there room for that mid-single-digit organic growth to move higher because of the strong strategic benefits of this combination?

Yeah, look, George, let me jump in here, and Mark can also add in. But I'd say, you know, first and foremost, we do see this as really being able to broaden our capabilities both sides to serve our customers better. And in that sense, we see the opportunity to really drive great organic growth between us. We have not included any sales synergies in the modeling, as we've mentioned, but we do see really the opportunity to bring value across both of our customer bases to drive higher levels of growth. So I think there's, you know, really good opportunity there.

Yeah, I would just say, you know, George, we think about the mid-single-digit framework, you know, would be across both businesses as you look out forward, and that's probably still the right way to think about it. I'd say that the upsides to those are, you know, certainly come down to, you know, the pace at which we see, you know, more bank outsourcing either with managed services or complete ATM as a service as the NCR team has continued to grow. And if you think about our businesses, you know, those are – our AMSDRS is growing in the 20% range. Their ATM as a service growing, you know, 30%, 40% range. So these are certainly the higher growth areas. Obviously, as those numbers get bigger, it gets harder to make that, you know, percentage continue to go as the law of large numbers catches up with you. But, listen, this – what we're looking at in front of us is this TAM, this total addressable market that includes bank outsourcing that has yet to really start in earnest. But as I mentioned earlier, we continue to see all over the world, and you've heard from us, I think you've heard from them, in really all regions, we're seeing customers either making the decisions or at least doing proof of concepts and exploring this idea of trying to get to an integrated solution that ultimately drives, you know, lower total cost of ownership, as well as higher reliability and availability.

Very helpful. Thanks so much.

Thanks, George.

The next question comes from Tim Mulroney with William Blair. Please go ahead.

Hey, you got Sam on for Tim. Thanks for taking our questions here. A lot to unpack. Big acquisition, great end to the year, and a good outlook. I guess I'll probably tip with the acquisitions here, but, you know, maybe just to kind of help frame it, and I think you were talking about this a little bit, Mark, already. You've seen acceleration in your DRS AMS business. You're expecting mid to high teens growth for this year. When you think about this business with NCR Atleos, what is the kind of long-term growth that you're expecting this business to generate?

Yeah, it's hard to put a finger on it, Sam. But I think what we said previously around our DRS AMS outlook is we think this mid-single-digit, mid-double-digit organic growth can continue for the foreseeable future. and certainly in the short and medium term, you know, that number is starting to get pretty big, and we still continue to see good growth rates. And I know, again, the Atlios guys are as well. We think about that in terms of, you know, yes, we're able to deliver those growth rates as separate companies, and the vision is, you know, how much more efficient, how much more better can we operate as an integrated company, orchestrating all of those capabilities across the value chain to really delight customers and differentiate ourselves to really start to instigate that ATM outsourcing, bank outsourcing that we know exists, and at some point, you know, we'll come. And I think it's, for us, I won't say it's a wait and see only because we've got, you know, big appetite to grow, and we think this acquisition puts us in the best place to be able to not only accept the outsourcing that's happened, but maybe even become more of a catalyst to enable it.

Got it. That's helpful. You know, you touched on this a little bit too already, but maybe we could dive a bit further into this. But when we think about, you know, the service offering you already have with AMS, what does NCR Atleos bring to the AMS business that perhaps you didn't have before or had less of? And what are you hoping AMS to bring to the Atleos customer base that maybe they weren't as strong in.

Yeah, it's interesting. Tim mentioned, you know, on the call that, you know, we've been customers or suppliers of each other back and forth, you know, in various places around the world. And, you know, when you have that sort of arms link relationship between suppliers or with customers independently, it inherently creates inefficiencies. And today, for the most part, most customers manage all of these activities along the value chain that, you know, laid out in the slide there independently, sort of in a hub-and-spoke way versus it being a horizontal delivery. And we just think that coordination across allows us to be more efficient, be better for our customers, and ultimately, you know, deliver the outcomes that our customers want, which is a simplified solution of a high-reliability distribution network. And we think that can continue. If you think about what they offer versus marrying up to us, certainly their software capability, the monitoring capability, the innovation around hardware, both traditional cash-only dispensing ATMs as well as recyclers as that's become more popular and marry that up against our broad and wide logistics network and cash handling expertise, it really puts us in a strong position to offer a great value proposition to customers. And if you think about all those activities across the value chain, there are very few that one of our two companies can offer.

No, yeah, that's very helpful. You can definitely see that. If I could squeeze one more in then. You know, you talked about the DRS business, you know, kind of the opportunity there. NCR has a pretty big retail footprint.

You know, is there any way to help size or just think about the cross-sell opportunity to your DRS business that, you know, this acquisition would bring? it's it's certainly something that you know we would you know we think about as part of the integration sam it's probably not something that we've got sized up yet um as you can imagine you know these things sort of happen with a you know in a small group um but but certainly you know they've got you know 80,000 owned uh ATMs across their utility network um they manage quite a few more indirectly for others, and they're in really good blue chip retail locations, and whether that's in big box retail or pharmacies or, you know, electronics and consumer supplies, malls, these are all areas where, you know, we're already there as well. And the interesting thing, and we've seen this with our AMS business, you know, when we acquired PAI a while back, we actually saw our own people going to the same location to service different devices. And so you think about minimizing truck rolls and cross-training our field engineers and technicians to be able to do not only the cash loading or not only first-line maintenance on ATMs, but being able to extend that across to DRS devices, cross-train our people to be able to handle multiple activities on a job site to, again, yes, it's going to streamline for us, But more importantly, it allows us to get to customer sites faster, solve any problems or interruptions they might have to create a higher reliability, high-fidelity network.

Sam, I might just add, I mean, we know, as Mark pointed out, while we don't know all the specifics yet, we do know that they're in locations that we aren't today. So it provides opportunity and vice versa, and not only in the U.S., but also globally. So, yeah, we think a really good opportunity there for the DRS side of the business.

Great. Thanks, guys. Appreciate it. Thanks, Sam.

The next question comes from Toby Sommer with Truist Securities. Please go ahead.

Thanks. Chris, when you assess the marrying these services of yours with NCR Atlas and its specific hardware, how do you look at and assess the major risks and the positives versus your prior sort of agnostic approach to hardware?

Yeah, listen, Tim, I think at the end of it – sorry, that's Toby. Toby, sorry. At the end of the day, I think customers, you know, want an outcome. You know, they're not necessarily – they don't just want Brinks. They don't just want NCR. They don't just want, you know, ABC companies. At the end of the day, they want an outcome. And when we think about ATM managed services, this is – we're in the outcome business, and that's about creating reliability and fidelity in the system. And DRS the same, you know, about creating, you know, security and access. And so we don't think that there's necessarily a conflict here. You know, certainly there will be areas where we have customers that we're serving today already that don't have, you know, a full NCR fleet. And I'm sure there are NCR customers that don't use Brinks. So we think in some ways there could be opportunities for cross-selling, but most importantly, I think there's going to be an opportunity for us to have real conversations about outcomes for customers, which ultimately they want. I think any time there's change, there, you know, could be some, you know, some risk. But for now, I think we've got, you know, the right teams, the right relationships, and certainly we're going to treat our customers fairly and communicate with our customers in the right way in advance of all of this. So maybe that's the best way to answer it. Appreciate that. You asked about risk a little bit. Maybe I didn't hit that. I think the risk for us is probably just around distraction, you know, and making sure our teams don't get distracted with this deal and with this combination. You know, we've got about 12 months, we think, to close this thing. And, you know, between here and there, we both have very important performing businesses right now that we need to go execute. And because of that, we've ring-fenced our, you know, our teams. We've ring-fenced the day-to-day operations from the deal team, and certainly we'll be using our integration management office and staff to really focus on integration to free up our, you know, our day-to-day business leaders to run the business and deliver on the commitments we have already. And I know NCR at Leos would be doing the same thing.

Thanks. I'm interested if we could explore a little bit more how you may be able to accelerate AMS-DRS growth post-combination. Is there an example that you could give of sort of why the combined entity would maybe be able to spur the outsourcing of a bank or sort of tackle that white space in the retail customer set?

Yeah, sure. I think this is where an example would be both retail and in banks. Where we already have strong customer relationships, they have a strong customer relationship that allows us to not have to maybe be concerned about any of the conflict that maybe you mentioned earlier about the hardware versus, you know, one vendor or another. I think that's the first place. But I also think that there, as we think about post-acquisition, once we close, having our commercial teams able to raise up the opportunities and the discussions maybe that are more nascent in each of those markets. And, frankly, having one integrated solution would allow us to de-risk, in fact, the solution for customers. And this is something that we continue to deal with, even today, with the success we're having, is we need partners along the value chain to help us because we don't have all of the capabilities. And, you know, of course, ATMs and ATM software and management software, these are things that we have to partner with to, you know, to deliver to customers. And this will certainly simplify that and make it, you know, easier to have that discussion.

Hey, Toby, just maybe to add on to one thing, kind of a specific, you know, we have applications today where we have a DRS device in a store location where there's an ATM, right? And that cash ecosystem provides a very compelling customer offering for a retailer. As we said, there are locations we know where that doesn't exist, but it solves the same set of problems for a customer. And so this combination really allows for getting into that customer solutioning even much quicker on a bigger scale.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

This concludes our question and answer session. I would like to turn the conference back over to Mark Eubanks for any closing remarks.

Yeah, thank you, everyone, for joining the call today. Look forward to speaking to you in our one-on-ones and maybe on the road. And, again, I just want to thank our teams and the NCR Atleos team for all the work they've done to get us to this point and look forward to the years ahead.

The conference is now concluded. Thank you for attending today's presentation. You may now disconnect.
