BLUE BELL, Pa., February 22, 2023 – Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS) today reported fourth-quarter and full-year 2022 financial results.

“We had a solid finish to the year, delivering 7% year-over-year constant currency revenue growth in the fourth quarter.  Our higher growth and higher margin Next-Gen Solutions are building momentum in the marketplace, growing total contract value⁽⁵⁾ more than 80% versus the prior year quarter and more than doubling annual contract value⁽⁴⁾  versus the prior year quarter.  As we start 2023, we believe the new Unisys brand is resonating with our clients, prospects, third party advisors, and industry analysts,” said Unisys Chair and CEO Peter A. Altabef. “Our pipeline is stronger than it was a year ago, and our trailing twelve month book-to-bill expanded year-over-year to 1.1x. Although the light license and support renewal schedule for 2023 is expected to drive an overall decline in revenue and profit for the year, we expect revenue and margin improvement in the remainder of the business.”

2023 Financial Guidance

The company has issued full-year 2023 revenue and profitability guidance. Constant currency revenue growth is expected to be in the range of (3.0%) to (7.0%) YoY. The company anticipates that non-GAAP operating profit margin will be in the range of 2.0% to 4.0% and adjusted EBITDA margin in the range of 9.5% to 11.5%.

⁽¹⁾ Constant currency – A significant amount of the company’s revenue is derived from international operations. As a result, the company’s revenue has been and will continue to be affected by changes in the U.S. dollar against major international currencies. The company refers to revenue 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 revenue at a consistent exchange rate rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the respective periods.

⁽²⁾ Backlog – Represents future revenue associated with contracted work which has not yet been delivered or performed. Although the company believes this revenue will be recognized, it may, for commercial reasons, allow the orders to be cancelled, with or without penalty.

⁽³⁾ Pipeline – Represents qualified prospective sale opportunities for which bids have been submitted or vetted prospective sales opportunities which are being actively pursued. There is no assurance that pipeline will translate into recorded revenue.

⁽⁴⁾ Annual Contract Value (ACV) – Represents the revenue expected to be recognized during the first 12 months following the signing of a contract.

⁽⁵⁾ Total Contract Value (TCV) – Represents the estimated revenue related to contracts signed in the period without regard for cancellation terms. New business TCV represents TCV attributable to new scope for existing clients and new logo contracts.

⁽⁶⁾ Book-to-bill – Represents total contract value booked divided by revenue in a given period.

⁽⁷⁾ Next-Gen Solutions – Includes our Modern Workplace solutions within DWS, Digital Platforms and Applications (DP&A) solutions within CA&I, Specialized Services and Next-Gen Compute (SS&C) solutions within ECS, as well as Micro-Market solutions.

Non-GAAP Information

Certain financial information is presented in this release under both a U.S. generally accepted accounting basis (GAAP) and a non-GAAP basis. Non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain items such as post-retirement expenses and cost-reduction activities and other expenses that the company believes are not indicative of its ongoing operations, as they may be unusual or non-recurring. The inclusion of such items in financial measures can make the company’s profitability and liquidity results difficult to compare to prior periods or anticipated future periods and can distort the visibility of trends associated with the company’s ongoing performance. Management also believes that non-GAAP measures are useful to investors because they provide supplemental information about the company’s financial performance and liquidity, as well as greater transparency into management’s view and assessment of the company’s ongoing operating performance. The following measures are often provided and utilized by the company’s management, analysts, and investors to enhance comparability of year-over-year results. These measures should not be relied upon as substitutes for, or considered in isolation from, measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

⁽⁸⁾ Non-GAAP operating profit – This measure excludes pretax postretirement expense and pretax charges in connection with cost-reduction activities and other expenses.

⁽⁹⁾ EBITDA & adjusted EBITDA – Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is calculated by starting with net income (loss) attributable to Unisys Corporation common shareholders and adding or subtracting the following items: net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, interest expense (net of interest income), provision for (benefit from) income taxes, depreciation and amortization.  Adjusted EBITDA further excludes postretirement expenses and cost-reduction activities and other expenses, non-cash share-based expense, and other (income) expense adjustments. 

⁽¹⁰⁾ Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share – These measures excluded postretirement expense and charges in connection with cost-reduction activities and other expenses.  The tax amounts related to these items for the calculation of non-GAAP diluted earnings per share include the current and deferred tax expense and benefits recognized under GAAP for these items.

⁽¹¹⁾ Free cash flow – Represents cash flow from operations less capital expenditures.

⁽¹²⁾ Adjusted free cash flow – Represents free cash flow less cash used for postretirement funding and cost-reduction activities and other payments.
