Item 2.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included under Item 1. Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2026, including the risk factors set forth therein, and our Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto and related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Form 10-K”). This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements. See the sections of the Form 10-Q titled “Cautionary Statement about Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these forward-looking statements that could cause future results to differ materially from those reflected in this section.

Revision. In connection with the preparation of our second and third quarters 2025 financial statements, we identified misstatements in our previously-issued financial statements. Although not materially impacting any previously-reported periods, the misstatements resulted in immaterial misstatements in our historical financial statements and the revision of the first and second quarters of 2025. The figures in this MD&A reflect the impact of such revisions. Refer to Note 1, “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”, and Note 13, “Revisions of Previously Issued Financial Statements”, in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for additional information.

OVERVIEW

We are an industry-leading financial technology company providing self-directed banking solutions to a global customer base including financial institutions, merchants, manufacturers, retailers and consumers. We operate through three reportable segments: Self-Service Banking, Network, and Telecommunications and Technology (“T&T”).

During the second quarter of 2026, we continued to pursue our focus on customer service, leveraging AI-powered diagnostics, intelligent dispatch systems and fleet-level performance management to improve ATM availability. Within Self-Service Banking, continued revenue growth in our ATM as a Service (“ATMaaS”) business and subscription-based software offerings was offset by a reduction in revenue from hardware sales. Revenue in our Network segment decreased slightly quarter over quarter, due to lower demand for crypto transactions and less favorable revenue mix. Total gross margin increased year over year, due to favorable shifts in product mix in software and services, the impact of tariff refunds, productivity initiatives and positive settlement processing in the network business. These benefits were partially offset by increases in the costs of fuel and memory chips. We anticipate that these costs could remain elevated for the remainder of the year, impacting gross margin in future quarters.

On a year-to-date basis, consolidated revenue increased due to an increase in ATMaaS, subscription-based software offerings, and hardware sales during the first quarter. Year-to-date gross margin increased as a result of shifts in product mix and tariff refunds in the second quarter of the year.

We are exposed to macroeconomic factors such as interest rates, foreign currency fluctuations, geopolitical tensions and shifts in global trade policies. We anticipate that further conflict with Iran or similar geopolitical conflicts could negatively impact our ability to deliver products and services in certain markets, and continue to result in increases in fuel costs.

On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that certain tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) were not valid, and on March 4, 2026, the Court of International Trade ruled that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) was required, subject to applicable procedures, to refund the IEEPA tariffs it had collected. On April 20, 2026, CBP began accepting submissions for certain IEEPA tariff refunds, and on June 29, 2026, it further expanded eligible refund submissions. The majority of our refund claims have been accepted, and we have accrued a net receivable related to these claims. We have received payment for a portion of our receivables.

On February 26, 2026, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Atleos, The Brink’s Company, a Virginia corporation (“Brink’s”), Novus Merger Sub, Inc., a Maryland corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Brink’s (“Merger Sub I”) and Novus Merger Sub II, LLC, a Maryland limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Brink’s (“Merger Sub II”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) Merger Sub I will merge with and into Atleos (the “First Merger”), with Atleos surviving the First Merger as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Brink’s, and (ii) immediately following the First Merger, Atleos will merge with and into Merger Sub II (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with Merger Sub II surviving the Second Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Brink’s. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Brink’s will acquire each outstanding share of Atleos stock for $30.00 in cash, without interest, and 0.1574 shares of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of

Brink’s common stock. On June 30, 2026, the stockholders of both companies approved the Mergers. The Mergers are currently expected to close early in the first quarter of 2027, subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. In connection with the Mergers, on March 11, 2026, we received the requisite consents from holders of our 9.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”) and entered into a supplemental indenture to amend the defined term “Change of Control” to provide that the Mergers will not constitute a Change of Control and to add or amend certain other defined terms related to the Change of Control put provisions contained in the indenture governing the Notes (collectively, the “CoC Put Waiver”). As a result of the CoC Put Waiver, we are not required to repurchase any portion of the Notes as a result of the consummation of the Mergers. The supplemental indenture became effective immediately upon execution, but the CoC Put Waiver will not become operative until immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger and will cease to be operative if the First Merger is not consummated or we do not pay the consent fee to the paying agent on behalf of the holders.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Highlights of our consolidated results, which are discussed in more detail below, include:

•Total revenue of $1.10 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was flat year over year, including $776 million of recurring revenue ($772 million of recurring revenue in the prior year period). For the six months ended June 30, 2026, total revenue increased 3% to $2.15 billion, including $1.53 billion of recurring revenue, compared to $2.08 billion and $1.51 billion, respectively, in the comparative prior year period. Revenue growth for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was driven by software and services revenues, including ATMaaS, while revenue in our network business decreased due to lower demand for crypto transactions. Hardware sales and associated installation services also contributed an offset to revenue growth in the three months ended June 30, 2026 due to the timing of delivery in the prior year, with overall growth for the six months ended June 30, 2026. Other revenues declined due to an expected reduction in commercial agreements and commerce-related contracts with Voyix.

•For the three months ended June 30, 2026, gross margin increased 510 basis points to 28.0% and adjusted gross margin increased 530 basis points to 30.2%. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, gross margin increased 200 basis points to 25.3% and adjusted gross margin increased 200 basis points to 27.4%. These increases were driven by net tariff refunds, favorable product mix in software and services, productivity initiatives, and positive settlement processing and lower vault cash costs in the network business, offset by an increase in other costs, including fuel and memory chips.

•Income from operations increased 31% and 13% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, driven by the factors described above. Operating expenses increased due to costs incurred in connection with our workforce optimization and strategic initiatives, as well as acquisition-related costs.

•Income before income taxes increased to $90 million and $123 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to $57 million and $79 million in the prior year periods as the impact of lower interest costs on our debt was offset by reduced gains from business disposals relative to the prior year period.

Key Financial and Performance Metrics

We use the following metrics in evaluating the performance of our business:

Recurring revenue is all revenue streams from contracts where there is a predictable revenue pattern that will occur at regular intervals with a relatively high degree of certainty. This includes hardware and software maintenance revenue, processing revenue, interchange and network revenue, Bitcoin-related revenue, and certain professional services arrangements, as well as term-based software license arrangements that include customer termination rights.

Annualized Recurring Revenue (“ARR”) is recurring revenue, excluding software licenses sold as a subscription, for the last three months multiplied by four, plus the rolling four quarters for term-based software license arrangements that include customer termination rights. We believe this metric may be useful to investors in evaluating achievement of our strategic goals related to the conversion of the self-service banking business to recurring revenue streams over time. ARR does not necessarily reflect the pattern of revenue recognition in accordance with GAAP and should not

OVERVIEW

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Spin-off from NCR

On October 16, 2023, NCR Corporation (now known as NCR Voyix Corporation or “Voyix,” and referred to as “NCR” when discussing periods prior to the Separation), completed a spin-off to NCR shareholders of its self-service banking, network, and telecommunications and technology businesses (the “Spin-off” or “Separation”). Concurrent with the Spin-off, we became a stand alone publicly-traded company and our financial statements are now presented on a consolidated basis.

In connection with the Spin-off, we have incurred and expect to incur in the future one-time separation costs, which include one-time and non-recurring expenses associated with the Spin-off and stand up of functions required to operate as a stand-alone public entity. These non-recurring costs primarily relate to system implementation costs, business and facilities separation, applicable employee related costs, development of our brand and other matters. We expect the separation-related costs will continue through at least fiscal year 2026 but will be lower as compared to 2024 and 2025.

Periods prior to Separation

On October 16, 2023, the Company became a standalone publicly traded company, and its financial statements are now presented on a consolidated basis. Prior to the Separation, the Company’s historical combined financial statements were prepared on a standalone basis and were derived from NCR’s consolidated financial statements and accounting records.

Prior to the Separation, the Consolidated Statements of Operations include all revenues and costs directly attributable to Atleos, including costs for facilities, functions and services used by Atleos. Atleos’ businesses historically functioned together with the other businesses controlled by NCR. Accordingly, Atleos relied on NCR’s corporate overhead and other support functions for its business. Therefore, certain corporate overhead and shared costs have been allocated to Atleos including (i) certain general and administrative expenses related to NCR support functions that are provided on a centralized basis within NCR (e.g., expenses for corporate facilities, executive oversight, treasury, finance, legal, human resources, compliance, information technology, employee benefit plans, stock compensation plans, and other corporate functions) and (ii) certain operations support costs incurred by NCR, including product sourcing, maintenance and support services, and other supply chain functions. These expenses have been specifically identified, when possible, or allocated based on revenues, headcount, usage or other allocation methods that are considered to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided or benefit received. Management considers that such allocations have been made on a reasonable basis consistent with benefits received but may not necessarily be indicative of the costs that would have been incurred if Atleos had been operated on a standalone basis for the periods presented. All charges and allocations for facilities, functions and services performed by NCR have been deemed settled in cash by Atleos to NCR in the period in which the cost was recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Prior to the Separation, NCR’s external debt and related interest expense had not been attributed to the Company for the periods presented because NCR’s borrowings were neither directly attributable to the Company nor was the Company the legal obligor of such borrowings.

Prior to the Separation, the aggregate net effect of related party transactions historically settled in cash between the Company and NCR are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as Related party receivables and payables within operating activities, Amounts advanced for or Repayments received from related party notes receivable in investing activities, or Proceeds from or payments on related party borrowings within financing activities. Other balances between the Company and NCR were considered to be effectively settled in the Consolidated Financial Statements at the time the transactions were recorded. The

40

Table of Contents

aggregate net effect of transactions between the Company and NCR that were not historically settled in cash had been reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as Net transfers from (to) NCR Corporation within financing activities.

Prior to the Separation, income tax expense and tax balances were calculated on a separate tax return basis. The separate tax return method applies the accounting guidance for income taxes to the standalone financial statements as if the Company was a separate taxpayer and a standalone company even though the Company filed as part of NCR’s tax group in certain jurisdictions prior to Separation. The Company’s portion of income tax expense for domestic, and certain jurisdictions outside the United States (“U.S.”), were deemed to have been settled in the period the related tax expense was recorded.

Periods Post Separation

For the periods subsequent to October 16, 2023, as a standalone publicly traded company, Atleos presents its financial statements on a consolidated basis. The Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.

In connection with the Spin-off, we entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement and various other agreements with Voyix. These agreements provide a framework for our relationship with Voyix and govern various interim and ongoing relationships between Atleos and Voyix. These agreements with Voyix are described in the section of the Information Statement titled “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions-Agreements with NCR.” Following the Separation, certain functions continue to be provided by or for Voyix under the Transition Services Agreements or are being performed using Atleos’ own resources or third-party service providers. Additionally, certain maintenance services, manufacturing services, produ
