Unisys Announces Fourth-Quarter 2013 Financial Results(ENP Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ENP Newswire - 31 January 2014 Release date- 30012014 - BLUE BELL, Pa. - Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS) today reported fourth-quarter 2013 net income of $117.4 million, or $2.37 per diluted share, which included $23.2 million of pension expense. In the fourth quarter of 2012, the company reported net income of $81.8 million, or $1.67 per diluted share, which included $30.4 million of pension expense. Excluding pension expense, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share in the fourth quarter of 2013 was $2.82 compared with $2.27 in the fourth quarter of 2012. Fourth-quarter 2013 revenue grew 2 percent to $996 million from $979 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. Foreign currency translations had a negligible impact on revenue comparisons in the fourth quarter. For the full year of 2013, Unisys reported net income of $92.3 million, or $2.08 per diluted share, which included $90.0 million of pension expense. For the full year of 2012, the company reported net income of $129.4 million, or $2.84 per diluted share, which included $105.4 million of pension expense and $30.6 million of debt reduction charges. Excluding pension expense in both years and the debt reduction charges in 2012, non-GAAP earnings per share for the full year of 2013 was $3.87 compared with $5.50 for the full year of 2012. Full-year 2013 revenue declined 7 percent to $3.46 billion from full-year 2012 revenue of $3.71 billion. Foreign currency translations had a one percentage-point negative impact on full-year 2013 revenue comparisons. 'We closed 2013 with a good fourth quarter, reporting significantly increased profitability on higher revenue,' said Unisys Chairman and CEO Ed Coleman. 'We grew both our services and technology businesses while continuing to show good cost discipline across the business. We were particularly pleased by the higher operating profit margins in our services business, where we also grew orders for the third consecutive quarter. 'As we move into 2014, we are excited by the opportunities in front of us,' Coleman said. 'We are seeing growing market interest in our Stealth cybersecurity software products, our new Forward! by Unisys fabric-based servers, our cloud-based offerings, and other innovative solution offerings. We are focused on continuing our fourth-quarter momentum and driving profitable revenue growth in the year ahead.' Fourth-Quarter Company and Business Segment Highlights International revenue grew 2 percent (3 percent on a constant currency(3) basis) in the fourth quarter as growth in Europe and Asia Pacific more than offset declines in Latin America. U.S. revenue was flat compared to the fourth quarter of 2012. The company reported an overall fourth-quarter 2013 gross profit margin of 31.7 percent, up from 29.2 percent in the year-ago quarter. Operating expenses (SG&A and R&D expenses) decreased 7 percent from the year-ago period, reflecting effective cost management. The company reported fourth-quarter 2013 operating profit of $155.9 million, or 15.7 percent of revenue, compared with fourth-quarter 2012 operating profit of $114.6 million, or 11.7 percent of revenue. Fourth-quarter 2013 services revenue increased 1 percent (2 percent on a constant currency basis) as growth in outsourcing and systems integration offset declines in core maintenance. Reflecting a richer mix of higher-margin services and solutions as well as a continued focus on cost control, fourth-quarter 2013 services gross profit margin improved to 21.9 percent from 20.2 percent a year ago and services operating profit margin improved to 9.8 percent from 6.6 percent a year ago. Fourth-quarter 2013 services orders grew from the fourth quarter of 2012, driven by higher orders for outsourcing and systems integration services. Services backlog at December 31, 2013 was $4.8 billion, down 5 percent from services backlog at December 31, 2012. Fourth-quarter 2013 technology revenue grew 5 percent from the prior-year quarter. Fourth-quarter 2013 technology gross profit margin declined to 61.4 percent from 68.1 percent in the year-ago quarter, resulting from a higher mix of third-party product sales, and technology operating profit margin declined to 40.6 percent from 43.9 percent in the year-ago quarter. Cash Flow and Balance Sheet Highlights In the fourth quarter of 2013, Unisys generated $141 million of cash from operations, which included $46 million of pension contributions. In the fourth quarter of 2012, the company generated $154 million of cash from operations, which included $26 million of pension contributions. Capital expenditures in the fourth quarter of 2013 were $48 million compared with $36 million in the year-ago quarter. The company generated $93 million of free cash flow in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared with free cash flow of $118 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. Free cash flow before pension contributions was $138 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared with $144 million in the year-ago quarter. Unisys made a total of $147 million in pension contributions in 2013 compared with $202 million of pension contributions in 2012. For the full year of 2013, the company generated free cash flow of $183 million before pension contributions compared with $330 million of free cash flow before pension contributions in 2012. At December 31, 2013, the company reported a cash balance of $640 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, 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 - For the full years of 2013 and 2012, Unisys recorded pension expense of $90.0 million and $105.4 million, respectively. In addition, for full year 2012 the company incurred debt reduction charges of $30.6 million as a result of debt 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 per share calculations. (2) 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. (3) 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. 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.
