Unisys Announces Third-Quarter 2015 Financial Results
BLUE BELL, Pa., Oct. 21, 2015 -- Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS) today reported
third quarter 2015 results:
* Revenue of $739 million
* Operating profit margin of 1.2 percent; 7.2 percent before restructuring
charges of $17 million and pension expense of $27 million
* Diluted loss per share of $0.19
* Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share(1) of $0.67
"Our transformative cost actions are strengthening the company's underlying
operating profitability," said Unisys President and CEO Peter Altabef. "These
actions, combined with improved offerings and go-to-market capabilities, are
enhancing our competitiveness in the market."
Summary of Business Results
* Third quarter 2015 revenue of $739 million declined 16 percent
year-over-year. Foreign currency fluctuations caused approximately half of
this decline. In constant currency(2), Services revenue grew for the third
consecutive quarter. Lower Technology revenue, which can vary significantly
from quarter-to-quarter based on the timing of license renewals, caused the
overall revenue decline in constant currency.
* The third quarter 2015 operating profit margin of 1.2 percent declined
year-over-year due principally to lower operating profit in the Technology
segment where profitability is highly sensitive to revenue volume, as well
as cost reduction charges and higher pension expense. The operating profit
margin of 7.2 percent before restructuring charges and pension expense
almost doubled sequentially reflecting benefits of the cost saving actions
taken by the company.
Services
* The Services segment showed progress in the quarter towards its goals with
an increase in order bookings and improvement in profitability. Services
bookings were $778 million on strong services contract renewals. This is an
increase of 34 percent in bookings as compared to second quarter 2015 and
an increase of 42 percent as compared to the third quarter of 2014.
* Services revenue of $656 million declined by 8 percent but increased by 1
percent year-over-year in constant currency and was flat sequentially.
* Services gross profit margin was 17.3 percent, an increase of 1.6
percentage points as compared to the second quarter 2015. This sequential
improvement reflects the benefit of our cost reduction actions to increase
profitability.
Technology
The Technology segment showed increased sequential profitability despite
sequentially lower revenue.
* Third-quarter 2015 Technology revenue of $83 million was down sequentially
and year over year reflecting lower ClearPath Forward™ revenue.
* Technology gross profit margin increased to 55.0 percent from 43.9 percent
in the second quarter 2015. Technology operating profit margin increased to
20.7 percent from 15.6 percent in the second quarter of 2015.
* Technology gross profit margin decreased year over year on lower revenue.
Currency fluctuations negatively affected Technology gross profit margin by
approximately 450 basis points and operating profit margin by 700 basis
points.
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. Our management uses
supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and
evaluate our business and assess operational alternatives. These non-GAAP
measures may include constant currency and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share.
Our 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) Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share - Unisys recorded pension expense, net
of tax, of $26.6 million and $17.9 million during the third quarters of 2015
and 2014, respectively. Unisys recorded a charge, net of tax, of $16.4 million
in connection with cost reduction actions during the third quarter of 2015. 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.
(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.
