BLUE BELL, Pa., April 21, 2016 --

1Q 2016:

  * Revenue of $667 million, down 8 percent year-over-year (3 percent in
    constant currency(1))
  * Diluted loss per share of ($0.80) versus ($0.87) in 1Q 2015

  * $100 million increase in adjusted free cash flow(3) year-over-year

Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS) today reported first quarter 2016 results
highlighted by year-over-year increases in both operating profit margin and
free cash flow.

The company reported an operating profit margin of (4.1) percent including cost
reduction charges and pension expense. First quarter 2016 non-GAAP operating
profit margin(4) was 2.9 percent, an increase of 320 basis points from the
prior year. In addition, the company reported first quarter 2016 free cash flow
usage of $12 million(5), an $89 million improvement year-over-year due to
higher operating cash flow and lower capital expenditures. Adjusted free cash
flow in first quarter 2016 increased $100 million from the prior year.

"Our first quarter results represent a step toward our goal of improving
profitability and cash flow," said Unisys President and CEO Peter Altabef. "We

team and expand our security solutions during the quarter."

Summary of First Quarter 2016 Business Results

Executing on Business Strategy

Unisys business strategy, laid out in 2015, is to execute on several key areas
for improved business performance in 2016: go-to-market vertical market
orientation; security solutions, most notably Unisys Stealth™; and
higher-value, advisory consulting services. The company has announced business
wins, strategic moves and implementation successes covering each of these
areas, including in the past week:

  * The global delivery of Unisys Stealth(cloud)™ on the Microsoft Azure Cloud,
    a platform used by more than 66 percent of Fortune 500 companies in 140
    countries.
  * The successful implementation of Stealth(core) to protect ANGKASA's
    self-service banking kiosks in Malaysia.
  * A new agreement to deliver Stealth(mobile) to Mitel clients. Mitel is a new
    Unisys client that will use Stealth to protect its systems, data and
    intellectual property and leverage Stealth to protect users across its
    global network.
  * A contract with the State of Washington, Division of Child Support,
    Department of Social & Health Services to deliver managed data center
    services and ClearPath Forward services.
  * A contract with China's HubSky, a new Unisys client, to deliver cloud/data
    center design and consulting services.

In addition, the company made three major leadership announcements in Q1:

  * Inder M. Singh as senior vice president and chief marketing and strategy
    officer. Immediately prior to joining Unisys, Singh was a managing director
    at SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc., where he provided equity research and
    advice across the technology, media and telecommunications sectors. Singh
    has also held strategy and financial leadership positions at Comcast, Cisco
    Systems, and AT&T.
  * Andy Stafford as senior vice president of Services. Most recently, Stafford
    was a senior managing director at Accenture, where he led the firm's Global
    Delivery Network for Technology. Prior to Accenture, Stafford held senior
    positions with Xchanging, Virgin Group, Deloitte Consulting, Computacenter
    and Andersen Consulting.
  * Eric Crabtree as the global leader of our Financial Services vertical
    industry group. Crabtree most recently served as managing director of
    omni-channel banking at Royal Bank of Scotland. He previously held senior
    executive leadership positions at Barclays Bank and Washington Mutual, and
    founded an advisory and consulting firm focused on the financial services
    industry.

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.

Non-GAAP Information

Unisys reports its results in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (GAAP) in the United States. However, in an effort to provide
investors with additional perspective regarding the company's results as
determined by GAAP, the company also discusses, in its earnings press release
and/or earnings presentation materials, non-GAAP information which management
believes provides useful information to investors. Management uses supplemental
non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate the
business and assess operational alternatives.

Non-GAAP measures are not intended to be considered in isolation or as
substitutes for results determined in accordance with GAAP and should be read
only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in
accordance with GAAP. (See GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations attached.)

(1) 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.

(2) Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share - During the first quarter 2016, Unisys
recorded pension expense, net of tax, and a charge, net of tax, in connection
with cost reduction actions. In an effort to provide investors with a
perspective on the company's earnings without these charges, they are excluded
from the non-GAAP diluted earnings/loss per share calculations.

(3) Adjusted free cash flow - Adjusted free cash flow provides free cash flow
before the company's pension contributions or cost reduction payments in an
effort to provide investors with a perspective on the company's free cash flow
generation before these items.

(4) Non-GAAP operating profit - During the first quarter 2016, Unisys recorded
pretax pension expense and a pretax charge in connection with cost reduction
actions. In order to provide investors with additional understanding of the
company's operating results, these changes are excluded from the operating
profit.

(5) Free cash flow - The company defines free cash flow as cash flow from
operations less capital expenditures. Management believes this measure gives
investors an additional perspective on cash flow from operating activities in
excess of amounts required for reinvestment.
