Action:ReiteratedDate:02/28/26
The score is primarily held back by weak financial performance—especially deeply negative and deteriorating operating/free cash flow—and a bearish technical setup with the stock trading below all major moving averages. Earnings-call guidance toward improved EBITDA and positive adjusted free cash flow provides some offset, but near-term revenue headwinds and transition-related execution/cash outlay risks remain.
Positive Factors
Platform Modernization
A unified cloud-to-edge platform consolidates legacy complexity, lowers maintenance, and accelerates feature delivery. This structural shift increases product stickiness, simplifies upgrades and integrations, and supports scalable recurring revenue and cross-sell across retail and restaurant customers over the next several years.
Services-Heavy Revenue Mix
A services-dominated mix creates higher switching costs and more recurring, contractable revenue from deployments, maintenance and managed services. Global services scale enables faster rollouts, reinforces customer relationships, and smooths revenue volatility from one-time hardware cycles.
Improving Profitability & FCF Guidance
Management's explicit EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow targets mark a strategic move from transformation to scaling. If achieved, stronger margins and positive FCF materially reduce funding needs, support reinvestment and de-risk the business model versus prior multi-year negative cash flows.
Negative Factors
Negative Cash Generation
Sustained negative operating and free cash flows strain liquidity and increase dependency on external funding. Even with margin improvement targets, persistent negative cash generation elevates execution risk, limits ability to fund growth or pay down debt, and pressures long-term financial durability.
Substantial Absolute Debt
A large debt burden increases fixed interest obligations and reduces strategic flexibility. With returns (ROE) still negative and elevated restructuring costs, the balance sheet constrains capital allocation, heightens refinancing risk, and makes the company sensitive to any cash-flow shortfalls.
ODM Transition & Backlog Timing Risk
Shifting to an ODM/commission model changes revenue recognition and creates near-term reported revenue decline and execution risk. Large enterprise rollouts and seasonal blackout windows mean backlog conversion is slow (9–18 months), delaying revenue and cash benefits and amplifying timing uncertainty.

How the Company Makes MoneyNCR Voyix makes money primarily by selling and supporting the technology stack that powers in-store and restaurant commerce. Key revenue streams generally include: (1) Software and subscriptions: recurring revenue from licensing and subscription arrangements for POS and commerce software, cloud-based capabilities, and related software modules used to run transactions and store/restaurant operations; (2) Services: implementation, installation, integration, and ongoing customer support/maintenance, including managed services (such as remote monitoring and field services) to keep systems running across distributed sites; (3) Hardware and other product sales: revenue from the sale of physical devices such as POS terminals, self-checkout units, kiosks, scanners, and peripherals that are deployed in stores and restaurants; and (4) Transaction- and payments-related revenue: to the extent the company provides payment-acceptance enablement or transaction-related software/services, it can earn usage-based fees tied to customer transaction volumes. The company’s earnings are influenced by customer deployment cycles (new store openings, remodels, technology refreshes), the mix of recurring software/services versus one-time hardware/project work, and its ability to cross-sell software, services, and support alongside installed hardware.

NCR Voyix Earnings Call Summary

Earnings Call Date:Feb 26, 2026
(Q4-2025)
|
% Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Apr 28, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call highlights meaningful strategic progress: completion of a multi-year platform modernization, stronger profitability (adjusted EBITDA +17%, margin +170 bps), ARR/site growth, notable enterprise customer wins (Chipotle, Colruyt, 7‑Eleven Philippines), and advancement of payments capabilities. Offsetting these positives are near-term headwinds tied to the hardware ODM transition (reported revenue guide down 13%–18%), SMB weakness, timing risks converting backlog into revenue, and sizable restructuring and cash outlays that pressured free cash flow. Management expects 2026 adjusted EBITDA and non‑GAAP EPS to grow modestly and sees the company moving from transformation to scaling in 2026–2027.
Q4-2025 Updates
Positive Updates
Completion of Platform Modernization
Completed a five-year transformation modernizing >50 legacy on‑premise applications into a single cloud-to-edge platform, providing a unified architecture and >30,000 feature library to support retail and restaurant customers.
Revenue and Recurring Revenue Growth (Q4)
Q4 total revenue increased 6% to $720 million; reported recurring revenue grew 1% to $422 million (3% when excluding a certain divestiture).
Profitability and Margin Expansion
Adjusted EBITDA rose 17% year-over-year to $130 million with margin expansion of 170 basis points to 18.1%. Non-GAAP EPS increased 48% to $0.31 (GAAP EPS $0.49 included a $65 million tax benefit).
Growth in ARR, Platform Sites and Payment Footprint
Software ARR and total ARR both increased 3% company-wide. Platform sites increased 8% to 80,000 and payment sites increased 4% to 8,600.
Major Customer Wins and Contract Momentum
Signed >20 platform contracts (including three in Q4) with notable enterprise wins: Chipotle (enterprise restaurant platform), Colruyt Group (Voyix POS across >850 grocery stores in BE/LU/FR), and 7‑Eleven Philippines (Voyix POS across ~4,500+ stores).
Strong Services Business and Competitive Differentiator
Services represent over 50% of total revenue, leveraging global scale and domain expertise to expand relationships, speed deployments and drive recurring revenue.
Payments Strategy and Voyix Connect Progress
Expanded proprietary gateway (Voyix Connect) capabilities, completed JetPay front-end migration in the U.S., achieved Corpay certification and progressing to WEX certification; signed a referral agreement in Mexico to broaden Latin America payments.
Retail Segment Strength (Q4)
Retail revenue increased 9% to $508 million; retail recurring revenue grew 3% to $279 million. Retail adjusted EBITDA increased 12% to $114 million with margin up 70 basis points to 22.8%.
Negative Updates
Reported Revenue Guidance Decline Due to ODM Transition
2026 reported revenue guidance is $2.210B–$2.325B, a decline of 13%–18% year-over-year driven by the hardware ODM implementation effective April 1. On a pro forma basis (adjusting revenue recognition), guidance is -2% to +3%.
SMB Headwinds and Legacy SMB Offering
SMB restaurant business underperformed in Q4 due to market headwinds and the legacy nature of the current SMB product; management expects a recovery only after launching Aloha Next (store‑in‑a‑box) in H2 2026.
Restaurant Segment Pressure on Margins and One-Time Revenue
Restaurant revenue was flat at $212 million in Q4; segment adjusted EBITDA decreased 3% to $66 million and margin contracted 110 basis points to 31.1%, driven by lower one-time software and services revenue.
Free Cash Flow and Restructuring Cash Outflows
Full‑year adjusted free cash flow (excl. restructuring) was $136 million, approximately $40 million below expectations due to timing (including a $13 million delayed tax refund) and higher working capital from increased hardware sales and inventory. Restructuring cash outflows totaled $109 million in the year.
Near-Term Cash Outlays and Elevated Restructuring Costs
2026 expected cash outlays include ~ $120 million related to severance, stranded costs from spin-off, internal infrastructure investments, ODM transition costs and an accrued litigation matter; elevated restructuring is expected to step down in 2027.
Revenue Recognition & Business Model Change Risks
Transitioning hardware fulfillment to EnerCom (ODM) will change revenue recognition (company will earn commissions instead of carrying inventory), creating near-term reported revenue decline and execution risk tied to completing the transition by March 31.
Timing and Deployment Risks for Enterprise Rollouts
Management emphasized enterprise deployments take 9–18 months (seasonal blackout periods, integrations, training) which delays revenue realization from the >20 signed platform contracts and makes backlog conversion timing uncertain.
Company Guidance
Management’s 2026 guidance calls for reported revenue of $2.210B–$2.325B (down 13%–18% due to the April 1 ODM transition; pro forma revenue down 2% to up 3% excluding the hardware recognition change), adjusted EBITDA of $440M–$445M (up ~4%–7%), non‑GAAP adjusted EPS of $0.93–$0.96 (up ~3%–6%), and adjusted free cash flow of $190M–$220M; they expect Q1 to be the weakest quarter, recurring revenue (software/services/payments) to improve through the year, margins to step up in Q2 with the ODM model (retail margin expanding further, restaurant margin improving modestly), about $120M of 2026 cash outlays related to severance/stranded costs/infrastructure/ODM transition/accrued litigation (with elevated restructuring stepping down in 2027), an on‑track ODM completion by March 31, and operating scale across ~80,000 platform sites and ~8,600 payment sites as the company builds backlog to accelerate deployments.

NCR Voyix Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Financials are pressured by weak cash generation: TTM operating cash flow (~-$210M) and free cash flow (~-$460M) are deeply negative and worsening, outweighing modest TTM revenue growth (+1.4%) and a healthier (but still leveraged) balance sheet. Profitability is thin (near-breakeven operating margin) and has been volatile, reducing confidence in durability.
Income Statement
46
Neutral
TTM (Trailing-Twelve-Months) revenue grew modestly (+1.4%), but profitability remains thin: operating profit is near breakeven (~0.8% of revenue) and EBITDA margin is under 10%. Net income is positive in TTM, yet margins are weak and have been volatile across years (including losses in 2023 and a sharp revenue decline trend versus 2021–2024), which reduces confidence in earnings quality and durability.
Balance Sheet
54
Neutral
Leverage has improved meaningfully versus 2023 (debt-to-equity moved from very elevated levels to ~1.2x in TTM), and equity is materially higher than 2023. That said, absolute debt remains sizable (~$1.3B), and returns to shareholders are currently weak (TTM return on equity is negative), indicating the balance sheet is more stable than before but still not translating into consistent value creation.
Cash Flow
24
Negative
Cash generation is the key pressure point: TTM (Trailing-Twelve-Months) operating cash flow is negative (~-$210M) and free cash flow is deeply negative (~-$460M), with further deterioration versus the prior year. With cash flow running below net income and moving in the wrong direction, funding needs and execution risk rise unless working capital and profitability improve quickly.

NCR Voyix Returns to Profitability with Strong 2025 Results
Positive
Feb 26, 2026

On February 26, 2026, NCR Voyix reported its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results, showing a return to profitability and improved margins despite modest revenue pressure. Quarterly revenue rose to $720 million from $678 million and net income from continuing operations swung to a $78 million profit from an $11 million loss, while adjusted EBITDA climbed to $130 million and non-GAAP diluted EPS improved to $0.31.

For 2025 as a whole, revenue slipped to $2.69 billion from $2.82 billion, but the company moved from a $201 million net loss to $42 million in net income, boosted adjusted EBITDA to $425 million and sharply improved non-GAAP EPS to $0.90. Management highlighted progress in repositioning NCR Voyix as a platform-led business, underscored by the January 2026 launch of its largest cloud-to-edge application portfolio, new long-term POS platform deals with 7-Eleven Philippines and Colruyt Group, an expanding base of 80,000 platform sites, and $78 million of share repurchases.

Looking ahead to 2026, the company guided to lower reported revenue of $2.21 billion to $2.33 billion due to a shift in hardware revenue recognition from an ongoing ODM transition, but indicated pro forma revenue would be roughly flat to modestly higher. NCR Voyix expects adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP EPS to grow further, alongside a substantial increase in adjusted free cash flow, suggesting improving operational efficiency and a business mix tilting more heavily toward software, services and recurring revenue streams.

The most recent analyst rating on (VYX) stock is a Buy with a $15.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on NCR Voyix stock, see the VYX Stock Forecast page.
