NCR Atleos Corporation

The Brink's Company said it has agreed to propose the divestiture of its NoteMachine/TestLink UK business in connection with the United Kingdom's Competition and Markets Authority review of its planned acquisition of NCR Atleos Corporation. The company said the CMA's Phase 1 decision reflects the local overlap between Brink's NoteMachine/TestLink UK business and NCR Atleos' Cardtronics business in the UK, and that the decision came under the CMA's fast-track Phase 1 procedure following constructive engagement. Brink's said the potential sale of NoteMachine/TestLink UK was a remedy contemplated in the financial metrics it has previously disclosed and does not impact the $200 million in annual run-rate cost synergies it still expects to achieve within three years of closing the transaction. The proposed sale process is progressing, with a number of prospective buyers having expressed strong preliminary interest, the company said. Brink's said the NCR Atleos acquisition remains on track to close early in the first quarter of 2027.

NCR Atleos Corporation has been selected by Bank Pekao S.A. to modernize the bank's card payment processing infrastructure using the Atleos Authentic payment switching platform. Bank Pekao S.A., described as one of the largest financial institutions in Central and Eastern Europe, chose the platform as part of its card payment processing modernization strategy following a comprehensive evaluation process. Under the agreement, Atleos will provide its Authentic switch platform to support the bank's card payment processing operations and future innovation objectives, with the implementation expected to modernize the bank's card payments infrastructure and provide a scalable foundation for future growth. Maciej Jopyk, CIO and head of IT at Bank Pekao S.A., said the bank selected the Authentic platform for its proven capabilities, flexibility and strong track record supporting payment modernization initiatives at financial institutions around the world. Bartłomiej Śliwa, Area Vice President for Central and Eastern Europe, Global Sales, at Atleos, called the agreement an important milestone for the company and said it further demonstrates Authentic leadership in helping financial institutions modernize complex payments environments. The agreement strengthens Atleos presence in Central and Eastern Europe and highlights growing demand among financial institutions seeking to replace legacy payment processing systems with modern, scalable platforms.

Brink's reported second quarter 2026 results with organic growth of 4% and ATM Managed Services and Digital Retail Solutions growing 14%, marking the 14th consecutive quarter of mid-teens or better organic revenue growth in that segment. The company raised its full year profit expectations after adjusted EBITDA came in above the midpoint of prior guidance, with EBITDA margins expanding 70 basis points to a record 18.5% for the quarter. Brink's also moved its estimated closing timeline for the NCR Atleos acquisition forward to early in the first quarter of 2027, citing overwhelming shareholder support and progress on regulatory clearances including early termination from U.S. antitrust regulators. Third quarter guidance calls for revenue between $1.365 billion and $1.415 billion and adjusted EBITDA between $263 million and $283 million, with full year organic growth expected in the mid-single digits and AMS/DRS growth in the mid-to-high teens.
