Diebold Nixdorf (DBD) Earnings: Q3 2026 Results

The quarter ended September 30, 2026 and Diebold Nixdorf published the results on October 28, 2026. Revenue and diluted EPS are shown against Q3 2025, the same quarter a year earlier, which takes seasonal swings out of the comparison. Diebold Nixdorf reports EPS two ways: GAAP, under the accounting rules every US filer follows, and adjusted (non-GAAP), which leaves out items the company considers outside its operating results. The release reconciles the two, and when they diverge, the reconciliation says why.

• Diebold Nixdorf began winding down a non-core operation in Turkey in the first quarter of 2026. Its non-GAAP revenue of $990.9 million excludes that operation; the figures on this page are GAAP.
• GAAP results include a $16.9 million impairment of Diebold Nixdorf's investment in an unconsolidated Chinese subsidiary and $34.5 million of restructuring and other savings initiative expenses.

How Diebold Nixdorf splits revenue in its own release, under its own labels, for Q3 2026 against Q3 2025. Indented lines are parts of the line above them.

• Diebold Nixdorf's Banking revenue was $698 million in Q3 2026, up 1% from $690 million in Q3 2025, 70% of total revenue.
• Diebold Nixdorf's Retail revenue was $296 million in Q3 2026, up 16% from $255 million in Q3 2025, 30% of total revenue.

Segment lines are the figures writers cite most often, because they show where the growth in a quarter came from. Companies redraw their segments from time to time and restate the prior year to match, so a year-ago figure here can differ from the one printed a year ago. When that has happened, the note above says so.

From the earnings release

Diebold Nixdorf's current full-year 2026 guidance table: total revenue (non-GAAP, excluding a non-core Turkey entity) $3.86 billion to $3.90 billion, adjusted EBITDA $490 million to $510 million, free cash flow $190 million to $210 million and adjusted EPS $4.50 to $4.85. The prior guidance was $3.86 billion to $3.94 billion, $510 million to $535 million, $255 million to $270 million and $5.25 to $5.75.

In its Q3 2026 release, Diebold Nixdorf said:

“The company is narrowing its revenue outlook while adjusted EBITDA expectations now reflect product mix and cost pressures in raw materials, partially offset by ongoing productivity improvements and operating expense discipline.”

“The revised free cash flow outlook reflects the combined impact of lower expected earnings and working capital requirements.”

• Q3 2026 (this page), reported Oct 28, 2026

Diebold Nixdorf reports two segments, Banking and Retail, and sells services, software and products in both. In Q3 2026 Banking had net sales of $698.2 million against $690.2 million, and Retail $296.1 million against $255.0 million. Banking was 70.2% of total net sales, down from 73.0% a year earlier, and Retail 29.8%, up from 27.0%.

Diebold Nixdorf's 10-K says nearly two-thirds of the world's top 100 financial institutions use its Banking solutions, which include ATMs, cash recyclers, branch automation and installation, maintenance and managed services. Its Retail clients include 21 of the top 25 European retailers and seven of the top ten Global Fortune 500 petroleum companies, and services is the largest revenue-generating area of the business. (Diebold Nixdorf Form 10-K, 2025, Feb 12, 2026)

Diebold Nixdorf's Banking net sales rose by $8.0 million. The 10-Q credits growth in North America, Latin America and Europe, partly offset by lower product volumes in the Middle East and parts of Southeast Asia, where several large orders from the prior year did not recur. Banking product sales fell to $281.7 million from $288.2 million while Banking services rose to $416.5 million from $402.0 million.

Diebold Nixdorf's Retail net sales rose by $41.1 million, which the 10-Q puts down mainly to higher electronic point-of-sale and self-checkout volumes, principally in Europe. Retail product sales were $147.6 million, up from $112.8 million. In the release Diebold Nixdorf named a North America regional grocer win for about 1,200 point-of-sale lanes across 200 stores and a European order to refresh 6,000 self-checkout units. (Diebold Nixdorf Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Oct 28, 2026; Diebold Nixdorf Q3 2026 release, Oct 28, 2026)

Across both segments, Diebold Nixdorf's services revenue was $565.0 million and product revenue $429.3 million. Services gross margin rose to 26.9% from 25.0%, while product gross margin fell 510 basis points to 22.2%. The 10-Q attributes the product decline to elevated memory costs, an unfavorable regional mix of Banking product sales and a higher share of electronic point-of-sale sales, partly offset by $10.0 million of tariff recoveries and customer pricing actions.

The largest items between the two were $34.5 million of restructuring and other savings initiative expenses ($1.00 a share) and a $16.9 million impairment of an unconsolidated subsidiary ($0.49 a share), less a $0.52 tax effect on the adjustments. (Diebold Nixdorf Q3 2026 release, Oct 28, 2026)

Diebold Nixdorf's effective tax rate was 36.6%, against 18.3% a year earlier.

Interest expense rose to $26.7 million from $21.8 million. (Diebold Nixdorf Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Oct 28, 2026; Diebold Nixdorf Q3 2026 release, Oct 28, 2026)

It bought back 432,547 shares for $33.5 million in the third quarter and 1,930,805 shares for $148.6 million over the first nine months, and on October 28, 2026 its board approved a new $250.0 million repurchase program.

Diluted EPS divides net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the quarter, plus the shares that options and other equity awards could add. Buybacks shrink that count and lift EPS for the same profit; share issuance and stock awards enlarge it.

Diebold Nixdorf gives a full-year outlook in its release and updated it with the Q3 2026 report. It now expects non-GAAP revenue of $3.86 billion to $3.90 billion (previously $3.86 billion to $3.94 billion), adjusted EBITDA of $490 million to $510 million (previously $510 million to $535 million), free cash flow of $190 million to $210 million (previously $255 million to $270 million) and adjusted EPS of $4.50 to $4.85 (previously $5.25 to $5.75). It cited product mix and raw material cost pressures. (Diebold Nixdorf Q3 2026 release, Oct 28, 2026)

Diebold Nixdorf's free cash flow outlook excludes about $50 million of German cash taxes paid in 2026 for the 2024 and 2025 tax years. Having used up its German net operating loss carryforward, it now expects to be a cash taxpayer in Germany. (Diebold Nixdorf Q3 2026 release, Oct 28, 2026)

A consensus figure is the average of the models published by the analysts who cover Diebold Nixdorf, collected by a data provider and revised up to the day of the report. A quarter that lands above it says how expectations were set as much as how the business did, and the share price on the day also reflects the guidance and the lines no consensus covers.

The consensus figures on this page are Yahoo Finance's, as pulled on the date shown. Each comes with the number of analysts behind it; the smaller that number, the more one revised estimate can move the average.

The figures below are the ones Diebold Nixdorf's own release and filings put weight on for Q3 2026, with the latest reported value for each.

What the quarter means for a holding is a separate question from what it reported. The case for and against owning DBD is on is DBD a buy or a sell?, what analysts expect next is on the DBD forecast, and what the company does is on the Diebold Nixdorf (DBD) stock page.

Every number on this page can be traced to a document Diebold Nixdorf published. Checking one takes a couple of minutes, and it is worth doing before you quote a figure anywhere.

• The results release is the document linked in the source line above. Companies publish it on their investor relations site at the moment results go out, and it carries the headline tables: revenue, operating income, net income and EPS for the quarter and the year-ago quarter.
• The same release is filed with the SEC as Exhibit 99.1 to a Form 8-K under Item 2.02, usually on the day of the report. The SEC copy does not change after the fact, which makes it the safer thing to link when you cite a number.
• The quarterly report (Form 10-Q) follows within a few weeks and carries the full financial statements, the segment note and management's discussion of what changed. The fourth quarter is covered by the annual report (Form 10-K) instead.
• Restated comparisons are flagged in the notes on this page. When a company redraws its segments or changes how it adjusts EPS, it restates the year-ago column, so the year-ago figure in a new release can differ from the one printed a year ago. This page always uses the comparison in the newer release, because that is the like-for-like one.
