Regulation FD Disclosure, Financial Statements and Exhibits
Officers of NCR Corporation (the "Company") plan to meet with securities analysts on March 12, 2009, both in person and via a webcast. During these meetings, the Company expects to affirm its earlier guidance as previously disclosed on Form 8-K filed on February 5, 2009 relating to its non-pension operating income ("NPOI") and non-GAAP earnings from continuing operations for 2009. The earlier guidance disclosed on February 5, 2009, which the Company is today affirming, calls for NPOI in the range of $360 million to $400 million, and non-GAAP earnings from continuing operations in the range of $0.85 to $1.00 per diluted share.1
The Company will also disclose that based on current financial market conditions and preliminary projections, its pension contribution requirements for 2010 could be in the range of $200 million to $250 million, and that at the high end of that range the Company still expects to generate positive free cash flow for the 2010 fiscal year.1
The webcast may be accessed on the Company's website at http://investor.ncr.com/eventdetail.cfm?EventID=66711

The following exhibit is attached with this current report on Form 8-K:
Exhibit No. Description
99.1 Press Release, dated March 11, 2009, issued by the Company
Note to investors - This report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements, including statements as to anticipated or expected results, beliefs, opinions and future financial performance, within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause NCR's actual results to differ materially.
Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to: the uncertain economic climate, in particular the current global credit crisis, could impact the ability of our customers to make capital expenditures, thereby affecting their ability to purchase our products, and consolidation in the financial services sector could impact our business by reducing our customer base; the timely development, production or acquisition and market acceptance of new and existing products and services (such as self-service technologies), including our ability to accelerate market acceptance of new products and services; shifts in market demands, continued competitive factors and pricing
1 NCR's management evaluates the company's results excluding certain items to assess the financial performance of the company and believes this information is useful for investors because it provides a more complete understanding of NCR's underlying operational performance, as well as consistency and comparability with past reports of financial results. In addition, management uses earnings per share excluding these items to manage and determine effectiveness of its business managers and as a basis for incentive compensation. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as substitutes for or superior to results determined in accordance with GAAP. For additional information regarding these matters, please refer to the press release included in the Form 8-K filed on February 5, 2009.
2 NCR defines free cash flow as cash provided/used by operating activities less capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment, and additions to capitalized software. Free cash flow does not have a uniform definition under GAAP and, therefore, NCR's definition may differ from other companies' definitions of this measure. NCR's management uses free cash flow to assess the financial performance of the company and believes it is useful for investors because it relates the operating cash flow of the company to the capital that is spent to continue and improve business operations. In particular, free cash flow indicates the amount of cash generated after capital expenditures for, among other things, investment in the company's existing businesses, strategic acquisitions, strengthening the company's balance sheet, repurchase of company stock and repayment of the company's debt obligations. Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since there may be other nondiscretionary expenditures that are not deducted from the measure. This non-GAAP measure should not be considered a substitute for or superior to cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP.
