Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS) today reported first-quarter 2017 financial
results. Operating profit margin was up year over year, and revenue was
relatively flat versus the prior-year period. Additionally, the company saw
strong contract signings during the quarter, with Total Contract Value(1) (TCV)
signed up 26 percent year over year.
"Our first-quarter results indicate continued progress executing against our
strategic and financial goals, including margin expansion and improvement of
revenue trends via our vertical go-to-market strategy," said Unisys President
and CEO Peter Altabef. "We intend to continue our disciplined financial focus
over the remainder of the year but are pleased with our strong start in the
first quarter. We are also pleased to have enhanced our liquidity position by
recently raising $440 million in a senior secured notes offering."
Summary of First-Quarter 2017 Business Results
Company:
Revenue for the quarter of $665 million was roughly flat relative to $667
million in the first quarter 2016 and was also roughly flat year over year on a
constant-currency(2) basis.
First-quarter 2017 operating profit margin of (0.4) percent, which includes
cost-reduction and other charges and pension expense, was up 370 basis points
year over year. Non-GAAP operating profit margin was 6 percent, up 340 basis
points versus the first quarter 2016.
Net loss attributable to Unisys Corporation common shareholders for the quarter
was $(33) million, an improvement relative to $(40) million in the prior-year
period. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $84 million, which was up 41
percent year over year. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the quarter was 13 percent,
up 370 basis points year over year.
In the first quarter 2017, operating cash flow decreased by $67 million year
over year to $(41) million. The company generated free cash flow(3) of $(76)
million for the quarter, a reduction of $66 million year over year. Adjusted
free cash flow(6) for the quarter of $(26) million decreased $66 million from
the prior-year period. Reductions in cash flow year over year were largely due
to a $40 million payment from a client received in the first quarter of 2016
that had been due in the fourth quarter of 2015, along with several other
timing issues related to the collection of receivables.
At March 31, 2017, the company had $302 million in cash. In April 2017, the
company raised $440 million of capital through a high-yield notes offering. The
company has paid the trustee the amount necessary to discharge the remaining
portion of Senior Notes due 2017 outstanding at the time of the offering and
expects to redeem them by May 6, 2017. Pro forma for the offering and
redemption, the company would have had $635 million in cash as of March 31,
2017.
Services:
Services revenue, which represented 88 percent of first-quarter total revenue,
declined by 2 percent as reported and in constant currency to $585 million.
Services backlog ended the quarter at $3.7 billion, versus $3.9 billion last
quarter. Services gross margin was up 400 basis points versus the first quarter
2016 at 18 percent, reflecting ongoing efforts to enhance the efficiency of the
Services business and helped by a particularly profitable transaction. Services
operating profit margin was up 400 basis points to 5 percent.
Technology:
Technology revenue, which represented 12 percent of total revenue, was up 10
percent year over year to $79 million, up 7 percent in constant currency.
Technology gross margin was down slightly to 47 percent from 49 percent in the
prior-year period. Technology operating profit margin was down to 15 percent
from 18 percent in the prior-year period.
Continued Execution on Business Strategy
The company in the first quarter entered into several key contracts in each of
its sectors of focus:
* U.S. Federal: The U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) selected Unisys to
continue its work updating, operating and maintaining the system used by
the U.S. government to verify and monitor excise fuel tax filings.
* Public: New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) has renewed with Unisys to
support their driver and vehicle registry platform.
* Commercial: Unisys announced a contract with Catholic Health Initiatives
(CHI), the nation's third-largest nonprofit health system, to provide
service support and end-user services for CHI's 90,000-plus employees
across the United States. It was Unisys' largest contract of the quarter.
* Financial Services: Unisys signed a new agreement with the largest
financial services group in Latin America, to provide automation services
for its branch network, as well as maintenance and support services for the
bank's ATMs throughout Brazil. It was Unisys' largest financial services
contract of the quarter.
Conference Call
Unisys will hold a conference call today at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss
its results. The listen-only Webcast, as well as the accompanying presentation
materials, can be accessed on the Unisys Investor Web site at www.unisys.com/
investor. Following the call, an audio replay of the Webcast, and accompanying
presentation materials, can be accessed through the same link.
(1) Total Contract Value - TCV is the estimated total contractual revenue
related to signed contracts including option years and without regard for
cancellation.
(2) Constant currency - The company refers to growth rates in constant currency
or on a constant currency basis so that the business results can be viewed
without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates to
facilitate comparisons of the company's business performance from one period to
another. Constant currency is calculated by retranslating current and prior
period results at a consistent rate.
Non-GAAP and Other Information
Although appropriate under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the
company's results reflect charges that the company believes are not indicative
of its ongoing operations and that can make its profitability and liquidity
results difficult to compare to prior periods, anticipated future periods, or
to its competitors' results. These items consist of pension and cost-reduction
and other expense. Management believes each of these items can distort the
visibility of trends associated with the company's ongoing performance.
Management also believes that the evaluation of the company's financial
performance can be enhanced by use of supplemental presentation of its results
that exclude the impact of these items in order to enhance consistency and
comparativeness with prior or future period results. The following measures are
often provided and utilized by the company's management, analysts, and
investors to enhance comparability of year-over-year results, as well as to
compare results to other companies in our industry.
(3) Free cash flow - The company defines free cash flow as cash flow from
operations less capital expenditures. Management believes this liquidity
measure gives investors an additional perspective on cash flow from on-going
operating activities in excess of amounts required for reinvestment.
(4) Non-GAAP operating profit - The company recorded pretax pension expense and
pretax charges in connection with cost-reduction activities and other expenses.
For the company, non-GAAP operating profit excluded these items. The company
believes that this profitability measure is more indicative of the company's
operating results and aligns those results to the company's external guidance
which is used by the company's management to allocate resources and may be used
by analysts and investors to gauge the company's ongoing performance.
(5) EBITDA & adjusted EBITDA - Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization ("EBITDA") is calculated by starting with net income (loss)
attributable to Unisys Corporation common shareholders and adding or
subtracting the following items: net income attributable to noncontrolling
interests, interest expense (net of interest income) provision for income
taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA further excludes pension
expense, cost-reduction and other expense, non-cash share-based expense, and
other (income) expense adjustment. In order to provide investors with
additional understanding of the company's operating results, these charges are
excluded from the adjusted EBITDA calculation.
(6) Adjusted free cash flow - Because inclusion of the company's pension
contributions and cost-reduction payments in free cash flow may distort the
visibility of the company's ability to generate cash flow from its operations
without the impact of these non-operational costs, management believes that
investors may be interested in adjusted free cash flow, which provides free
cash flow before these payments and is more indicative of its on-going
operations. This liquidity measure was provided to analysts and investors in
the form of external guidance and is used by management to measure operating
liquidity.
(7) Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share - The company has recorded pension
expense and charges in connection with cost-reduction activities and other
expenses. Management believes that investors may have a better understanding of
the company's performance and return to shareholders by excluding these charges
from the GAAP diluted earnings/loss per share calculations. The tax amounts
presented for these items for the calculation of non-GAAP diluted earnings per
share include the current and deferred tax expense and benefits recognized
under GAAP for these amounts.

clients; the company's contracts may not be as profitable as expected or
provide the expected level of revenues; cybersecurity breaches could result in
significant costs and could harm the company's business and reputation; a
significant disruption in the company's IT systems could adversely affect the

its clients; the possibility that pending litigation could affect the company's
results of operations or cash flow; the business and financial risk in
implementing future dispositions or acquisitions; and the company's

Additional discussion of factors that could affect the company's future results
is contained in its periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking
statements.
