• Commercial momentum remained strong: Q2 order entry rose 3% year over year and 6% sequentially, reaching a four-year first-half high, while backlog increased to $814 million. Management reaffirmed its full-year revenue, adjusted EBITDA, EPS and free-cash-flow guidance.
• Retail continued to outperform, with revenue up 24% year over year and wins across point-of-sale, self-checkout, RFID services and Smart Vision AI. The company signed contracts covering 1,400 AI-enabled lanes and expects strong high-double-digit growth in North American retail.
• Banking expansion beyond ATMs gained traction through teller cash recyclers, branch automation, transaction middleware and managed services, including notable deployments with Lloyds and VyStar. Record teller cash recycler shipments and additional regional wins support management’s confidence in second-half demand.
• Higher memory costs continued to pressure margins, particularly in retail point-of-sale products, with roughly $10 million of incremental costs in the quarter. Pricing actions and supply diversification are expected to mitigate the headwind, but full-year product gross margins are now expected to be merely comparable with last year.
• Free cash flow was negative $11 million in Q2 after a roughly $40 million inventory build to secure memory supply and support second-half deployments; inventory is expected to remain elevated through Q3. Management also highlighted approximately $50 million of one-time German tax payments for prior years, although it expects substantial cash-flow improvement in Q4 as inventory declines.
