    NORTH CANTON, Ohio, Oct. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Diebold, Incorporated (NYSE: DBD) today reported 2008 third quarter revenue of $890.3 million, an increase of 20.2 percent from the third quarter of 2007.  The company also reported net income of $46.5 million during the third quarter of 2008, compared to net income of $28.1 million in the comparable period in 2007, an increase of 65.2 percent.  Earnings for the third quarter of 2008 were $.70 per share, compared to $.42 per share in the third quarter of 2007, an increase of 66.7 percent.
  The third quarter 2008 results included restructuring charges of $.17 per share, compared to $.01 per share in the third quarter of 2007.  These
restructuring charges related primarily to severance and reorganization costs from the previously announced reduction in the company's global workforce.  In addition, the company also incurred $.29 per share in non-routine expenses in
the third quarter 2008, compared to $.04 per share in the third quarter 2007.
These non-routine expenses primarily consisted of legal, audit and consultation fees related to the completion of the internal review of other
accounting items, the restatement of financial statements and the ongoing Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) investigations, as well as other advisory fees.  Of the $.29 per share in non- routine expenses in the third quarter of 2008, $.16 per share was related to a fee owed to financial advisor Goldman Sachs as a result of the withdrawal of the unsolicited takeover bid from United Technologies Corp.  Excluding these restructuring charges and non-routine expenses, diluted earnings per share in the third quarter of 2008 would have been $1.16 versus $.47 in the third quarter 2007*, an increase of 146.8 percent.
    Cash from operating activities in the third quarter of 2008 was $56.3 million, compared to a cash use from operating activities of $24.4 million in the third quarter of 2007.  Free cash flow during the third quarter of 2008 was $43.4 million, compared to free cash use of $34.7 million during the third quarter of 2007*.

Diebold Files Financial Reports; Raises 2008 Earnings Outlook 
Cost-reduction initiatives gaining traction; market environment remains sound
NORTH CANTON, Ohio, Sept. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Diebold, Incorporated (NYSE: DBD) announced today that it has filed all of its late reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), meeting the filing schedule previously announced by the company. Diebold today filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2007, September 30, 2007, March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008.

As a result of completing these filings, Diebold is now able to resume its normal reporting schedule beginning with the third quarter 2008. The completion of these filings also marks the conclusion of the previously disclosed internal review of other accounting items. While these filings include all of the adjustments identified in the internal review, the previously disclosed investigations by the SEC and U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) remain ongoing and there can be no assurance that the results of these investigations will not impact previously reported financial statements.

In addition, Diebold has raised its expectations for full-year 2008 earnings per share as follows:

    Earnings per share          Previous guidance          Current guidance
                               (provided August 11, 2008)

    2008 EPS (GAAP)             $1.47 - $1.37              $1.62 - $1.52
    Restructuring charges       $.45 - $.56                $.45 - $.56
    Non-routine expenses        $.28 - $.32                $.28 - $.32
    Impairment                  $.05                       $.05
    2008 EPS non-GAAP           $2.25 - $2.30              $2.40 - $2.45

The upward revision in Diebold's earnings expectations are a result of earlier-than-expected progress from its cost-reduction initiatives, improved profitability from the company's Brazilian voting and lottery businesses, continued demand for the company's solutions in the global financial markets and a lower anticipated effective tax rate.
"We are very pleased that we have become current with our financial reporting, which has been a top priority for the company for more than a year," said Thomas W. Swidarski, Diebold president and chief executive officer. "A tremendous amount of work and resources have gone into completing these filings, and we're happy to put this milestone behind us as we now intensify our efforts to improve customer satisfaction, reduce costs and increase shareholder value.
"The significant progress we've made in our cost-reduction initiatives has resulted in some of our anticipated savings coming in earlier than planned," Swidarski said. "This continued progress in reducing costs positions us well as we work toward achieving our profitability goals for 2009 and beyond. In addition, our global sales environment remains solid despite the well-publicized challenges facing the financial industry in the United States, as demonstrated by some of the recent orders we've announced.
"Since 2006, we have focused on putting the right leadership in place, improving the key drivers of profitability and positioning the company for future growth," Swidarski concluded. "We are now seeing the tangible results of these efforts. Recognizing there's much more for us to accomplish, I am increasingly confident in our strategies and our ability to execute on those strategies."
