The Associated Press: Diebold Inc. will defer to future years some election systems revenue and earnings anticipated in service contracts. The adjustment reduced previously announced fourth quarter and full-year 2005 earnings per share by 6 cents per share.
Contracts in a number of areas are likely to result in election systems revenue posted later than expected.
Diebold has since determined that $7 million in fourth quarter 2005 election systems revenue and $4.2 million in net income would need to be recognized in future periods.
