Atleos Reports Q3 Profit Gain, Brink's Deal Pending
NCR Atleos posted higher third-quarter earnings and profit while expecting its transaction with The Brink's Company to close in early January 2027.
Updated on Nov. 5, 2026 in Corporate Finance
NCR Atleos Corporation reported third quarter 2026 results, with total revenue of $1.10 billion, down $22 million year-over-year, and net income attributable to Atleos of $97 million, up 273%. Year-to-date, total revenue for the first nine months of 2026 reached $3.2 billion, rising 1%.
Why it matters
Revenue was challenged by the war in the Middle East, and some customers delayed buying decisions in anticipation of the combined companies' new solutions. The pending Brink's transaction and further net leverage reduction shape the company's near-term financial direction.
Atleos reported Q3 2026 Adjusted Diluted EPS of $1.35, up 24% year-over-year, and Adjusted EBITDA of $241 million, up 10%. Year-to-date Adjusted EBITDA reached $667 million, up 12%, but the source does not specify the financial terms of the pending Brink's Company deal.
