UNISYS ANNOUNCES THIRD-QUARTER 2014 FINANCIAL RESULTS
* Revenue grows 11 percent; up 10 percent on a constant currency(1) basis
* Net income of $47.8 million vs. net loss of $11.6 million in 3Q 2013
* Diluted earnings per share of 95 cents vs. diluted loss per share of 26
cents in 3Q 2013
* Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share(2) of $1.30 vs. 25 cents in 3Q 2013
BLUE BELL, Pa., October 21, 2014 - Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS) today
reported third-quarter 2014 net income of $47.8 million, or 95 cents per
diluted share, which included $17.9 million of pension expense. In the
third quarter of 2013, the company reported a net loss of $11.6 million,
or a loss of 26 cents per diluted share, which included $22.6 million of
pension expense. Excluding pension expense in both periods, non-GAAP
diluted earnings per share in the third quarter of 2014 was $1.30
compared with 25 cents in the third quarter of 2013.
Third-quarter 2014 revenue grew 11 percent to $883 million from $792
million in the year-ago quarter. Foreign currency translations had a 1
percentage-point positive impact on revenue comparisons in the quarter.
"This was a strong quarter for Unisys," said Unisys Chairman and CEO Ed
Coleman. "We grew our revenue double digits, with growth in both our
services and technology businesses, and more than tripled pretax profit.
In our services business, we grew both our systems integration and IT
outsourcing revenue. Our technology results benefited from significantly
higher sales of our flagship ClearPath enterprise servers. Year to date
through the first nine months of 2014, our technology revenue is up 2
percent year over year."
THIRD-QUARTER COMPANY AND BUSINESS SEGMENT HIGHLIGHTS
U.S. revenue grew 12 percent in the quarter while international revenue
grew 11 percent as all regions contributed to growth. On a constant
currency basis, international revenue grew 8 percent.
Reflecting the higher technology revenue, the company reported an overall
third-quarter 2014 gross profit margin of 26.6 percent, up from 21.7
percent a year ago. Operating expenses (SG&A and R&D expenses) increased
7 percent from the year-ago period, reflecting increased investments in
the company's growth initiatives. The company reported a third-quarter
2014 operating profit of $76.6 million, or 8.7 percent of revenue,
compared with an operating profit of $24.0 million, or 3.0 percent of
revenue, in the third quarter of 2013.
Third-quarter 2014 services revenue grew 6 percent from the prior-year
quarter as growth in systems integration and IT outsourcing more than
offset declines in infrastructure services. Third-quarter 2014 services
gross profit margin was 19.5 percent compared with 21.1 percent in the
year-ago quarter. Third quarter 2014 services operating profit margin
was 6.9 percent compared with 7.7 percent a year ago.
Third-quarter 2014 services orders declined as order gains for systems
integration and IT outsourcing were more than offset by declines in
infrastructure services. Services backlog at September 30, 2014 was $4.4
billion, down 7 percent from June 30, 2014 levels and down 9 percent from
December 31, 2013.
Third-quarter 2014 technology revenue grew 66 percent from the prior-year
quarter driven by significantly higher sales of ClearPath enterprise
software and servers. Reflecting the higher ClearPath sales, third-
quarter 2014 technology gross profit margin increased to 61.5 percent
compared with 35.3 percent in the year-ago quarter and technology
operating profit (loss) margin improved to 25.5 percent compared with
(11.0) percent in the year-ago quarter.
CASH FLOW AND BALANCE SHEET HIGHLIGHTS
Unisys used $8 million of cash from operations in the third quarter of
2014, including $58 million of pension contributions. In the third
quarter of 2013, the company generated $16 million of cash from
operations, which included $40 million of pension contributions.
Reflecting increased investments in the company's IT outsourcing
business, capital expenditures in the third quarter of 2014 increased to
$54 million compared with $39 million in the year-ago quarter. After
capital expenditures, the company used $62 million of free cash(3) in the
third quarter of 2014 compared with free cash usage of $23 million in the
third quarter of 2013. Free cash usage before pension contributions was
$4 million in the third quarter of 2014 compared with free cash flow
before pension contributions of $17 million in the third quarter of 2013.
At September 30, 2014, the company reported a cash balance of $477
million and total debt of $215 million.
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 non-GAAP
diluted earnings per share, free cash flow, and free cash flow before
pension contributions.
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) Constant currency - The company refers to growth rates at constant
currency or adjusting for currency 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 for revenue is calculated
by retranslating current and prior period results at a consistent rate.
This approach is based on the pricing currency for each country which is
typically the functional currency. Generally, when the dollar either
strengthens or weakens against other currencies, the growth at constant
currency rates will be higher or lower, respectively, than growth
reported at actual exchange rates.
(2) Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share - The company recorded pension
expense of $17.9 million and $22.6 million during the third quarters of
2014 and 2013, respectively. In an effort to provide investors with a
perspective on the company's earnings without these expenses, they are
excluded from the non-GAAP diluted earnings per share calculations.
(3) Free cash flow - To better understand the trends in our business, we
believe that it is helpful to present free cash flow, which we define 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.
Because of the significance of the company's pension funding obligations,
free cash flow before pension funding is also provided.
