BLUE BELL, Pa., July 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS) today reported second-quarter 2013 net income of $20.4 million, or 46 cents per diluted share, which included $21.9 million of pension expense. In the second quarter of 2012, the company reported net income of $46.6 million, or 99 cents per diluted share, which included $21.5 million of pension expense and a $0.3 million debt reduction charge. Excluding pension expense in both periods and the debt reduction charge in the year-ago period, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share in the second quarter of 2013 was 91 cents compared with $1.41 in the second quarter of 2012.

Second-quarter 2013 revenue declined 7 percent to $859 million from $921 million in the year-ago quarter. On a constant currency basis⁽²⁾, revenue declined 6 percent in the quarter. Services revenue declined 9 percent from the year-ago quarter while technology revenue grew 13 percent. Sequentially, revenue grew 6 percent from the first quarter of 2013.

"We were pleased to see the sequential improvement in our results," said Unisys Chairman and CEO Ed Coleman. "Our technology business delivered a strong revenue performance, led by higher sales of our ClearPath family of enterprise software and servers. In our services business, revenue and margins declined year over year as demand remained soft in a challenging IT spending environment. However, we made progress in further strengthening our industry solutions and in building our application managed services capabilities. We are also making additional investments for growth in mission-critical computing, cybersecurity, cloud computing, IT outsourcing, and building our reseller channel."

Second-Quarter Company and Business Segment Highlights

U.S. revenue declined 6 percent in the quarter while international revenue declined 7 percent. On a constant currency basis, international revenue declined 6 percent as revenue declines in Europe and Asia Pacific more than offset growth in Latin America.

The company reported an overall second-quarter 2013 gross profit margin of 23.4 percent, down from year-ago gross profit margin of 26.4 percent. Operating expenses (SG&A and R&D expenses) decreased 1 percent from the year-ago period. The company reported a second-quarter 2013 operating profit of $38.0 million, or 4.4 percent of revenue, compared with an operating profit of $79.0 million, or 8.6 percent of revenue, in the second quarter of 2012.

Second-quarter 2013 services revenue declined 9 percent from the prior-year quarter on lower demand for outsourcing and systems integration services. Reflecting the lower services revenue, second-quarter 2013 services gross profit margin declined to 18.2 percent from 21.0 percent a year ago and services operating profit margin declined to 4.0 percent from 8.0 percent a year ago.

Second-quarter 2013 services orders grew slightly from year-ago levels as growth in systems integration orders more than offset order declines in other services areas. Services backlog at June 30, 2013 was $4.8 billion, down 6 percent from December 31, 2012 levels.

Second-quarter 2013 technology revenue grew 13 percent from the prior-year quarter driven by higher sales of ClearPath enterprise software and servers. Second-quarter 2013 technology gross profit margin was 59.4 percent compared to 63.4 percent in the year-ago quarter and technology operating profit margin was 23.9 percent compared to 28.6 percent in the year-ago quarter.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet Highlights

Unisys generated $16 million of cash from operations in the second quarter of 2013, including $35 million of pension contributions. In the second quarter of 2012, the company generated $57 million of cash from operations, which included $51 million of pension contributions. Capital expenditures in the second quarter of 2013 were $38 million compared with $35 million in the year-ago quarter. After capital expenditures, the company used $22 million of free cash⁽³⁾ in the second quarter of 2013 compared with free cash flow of $22 million in the second quarter of 2012. Free cash flow before pension contributions was $13 million in the second quarter of 2013 compared with $73 million in the year-ago quarter.

At June 30, 2013, the company reported a cash balance of $576 million and total debt of $210 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, free cash flow before pension contributions, and constant currency.

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 - The company recorded pension expense of $21.9 million and $21.5 million during the second quarters of 2013 and 2012, respectively. In addition, as a result of debt reductions, Unisys recorded a charge of $0.3 million during the second quarter of 2012. 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 per share calculations.

⁽²⁾ 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.

⁽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.

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.
