ATLANTA - NCR (NYSE:VYX) Atleos Corporation (NYSE: NATL), a leader in self-service banking solutions, reported a robust start to 2024 with first-quarter earnings and revenue that surpassed analyst expectations. The company announced an adjusted EPS of $0.41, which was slightly ahead of the analyst estimate of $0.40. Revenue also saw a healthy increase, reaching $1.05 billion against the projected $1.04 billion, marking a 6% year-over-year (YoY) growth.
The company's recurring revenue climbed 7% to a record $763 million, contributing significantly to the overall revenue growth.

President and CEO Tim Oliver expressed satisfaction with the results, attributing the strong performance to the company's market-leading solutions for self-service banking, which continue to gain traction with banks, retailers, and customers. "First quarter growth was paced by double-digit growth in global withdrawal transactions and strong growth in services revenue," said Oliver.
Looking forward, NCR Atleos has reaffirmed its full-year 2024 guidance and issued its second-quarter guidance. For Q2 2024, the company anticipates an EPS range of $0.63 to $0.73, with the midpoint below the consensus estimate of $0.68. Revenue is expected to be between $1.06 billion and $1.09 billion, closely aligning with the consensus estimate of $1.085 billion.
