Insights

Financial Analyst

The reported financial results showing full-year revenue growth of 1.8% YoY and the significant improvement in operating cash flow from $12.7 million to $74.2 million indicate a robust operational performance. The growth in Ex-L&S revenue by 4.9% YoY, both as reported and in constant currency, suggests a healthy expansion in the company's core services, excluding the more volatile license and support segment. The 27% YoY increase in Ex-L&S Total Contract Value (TCV) for the full year and particularly the 137% YoY in the fourth quarter, highlights strong demand for the company's offerings and a solid foundation for future revenue streams.

However, the decline in License and Support (L&S) revenue by 15.2% YoY raises concerns about this segment's sustainability and the need for strategic adjustments. Additionally, the non-GAAP operating profit margin of 7.0% compared to last year's 8.0% may reflect margin pressures despite top-line growth. The guidance for the full-year 2024 indicates a cautious outlook with potential for both contraction and modest growth in constant currency revenue, suggesting that management is accounting for market uncertainties and currency volatility.

Market Research Analyst

The company's performance in the Digital Workplace Solutions (DWS) and Cloud, Applications & Infrastructure Solutions (CA&I) segments shows resilience, with DWS experiencing an 8.9% YoY revenue increase. This reflects the ongoing demand for digital transformation and remote work solutions. The gross profit margin improvement in these segments is indicative of operational efficiency gains or a shift towards higher-margin services.

The Enterprise Computing Solutions (ECS) segment, however, faced a 10.0% YoY revenue decline, which could be attributed to a shift in customer preferences or a competitive landscape that impacts the company's traditional offerings. It is essential to monitor how the company adapts its strategy in this segment to mitigate the decline.

Moreover, the pension de-risking strategy and the transfer of pension liabilities to a third-party insurer could be seen as a move to streamline the company's financials and reduce long-term liabilities, potentially making the company more attractive to investors.

Economist

From an economic perspective, the company's financials reflect the broader trends of currency impacts on multinational corporations. The emphasis on constant currency figures in their reporting underscores the challenges of foreign exchange volatility. The improved free cash flow performance is a positive sign of liquidity and operational efficiency, which is crucial for sustaining investments and weathering economic downturns.

The company's pension management strategy, including the purchase of annuity contracts, is a proactive measure to address long-term pension liabilities, which can be a significant concern for investors, especially in a time where pension obligations are under scrutiny due to changing demographics and market conditions.

Full-year 2023 free cash flow improved by $68.7 million YoY due to improvements in working capital.

Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2023 were $387.7 million.

The company continued its pension de-risking strategy during 2023 with the purchase of two annuity contracts relating to its U.S. pension plans. The aggregate purchase price for the two transactions was approximately $516 million, which was funded by plan assets and resulted in a similarly sized reduction in plan liabilities. These actions resulted in non-cash pension settlement losses of $348.2 million.

*         QoQ - quarter over quarter

Sequential pipeline decline was due to elevated client signings during the fourth quarter while YoY decline was the result of renewal timing, partially offset by growth in New Business pipeline.

In the fourth quarter and full-year of 2023, TCV growth was driven by strong growth in New Business TCV.

Backlog was $3.01 billion for the fourth quarter 2023 compared to $2.92 billion for the fourth quarter of 2022 and $2.38 billion in the third quarter of 2023. The sequential and YoY increase was primarily driven by timing of Ex-L&S contract renewals and strong New Business signings during the fourth quarter.

⁽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⁾ 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 expansion and new scope for existing clients and new logo contracts.

⁽⁵⁾ Book-to-bill – Represents total contract value booked divided by revenue in a given period.

⁽⁶⁾ New Business – Represents expansion and new scope for existing clients and new logo contracts.

⁽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. The company uses estimated Next-Gen Solutions metrics to provide insight into the company's progress in shifting the revenue mix towards solutions that are generally higher-growth and higher-margin.

⁽⁸⁾ Non-GAAP operating profit – This measure excludes pretax postretirement expense and pretax charges in connection with certain legal matters related to professional services and legal fees, including legal defense costs, associated with certain legal proceedings, and 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 expense; certain legal matters related to professional services and legal fees, including legal defense costs, associated with certain legal proceedings; environmental matters related to previously disposed businesses; 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 certain legal matters related to professional services and legal fees, including legal defense costs, associated with certain legal proceedings; environmental matters related to previously disposed businesses; and cost-reduction activities and other expenses.  The tax amounts related to these items for the calculation of non-GAAP diluted earnings (loss) 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⁾ Pre-pension free cash flow – Represents free cash flow before postretirement contributions.

⁽¹³⁾ Adjusted free cash flow – Represents free cash flow less cash used for postretirement funding; certain legal matters related to professional services and legal fees, including legal defense costs, associated with certain legal proceedings; environmental matters related to previously disposed businesses; and cost-reduction activities and other payments.

⁽¹⁴⁾ License and Support (L&S) – Represents software license and related support revenue within the company's ECS segment.

⁽¹⁵⁾ Excluding License and Support (Ex-L&S) – These measures exclude revenue, gross profit and gross profit margin in connection with software license and support revenue within the company's ECS segment. The company provides these measures to allow investors to isolate the impact of software license renewals, which tend to be significant and impactful based on timing, and related support services in order to evaluate the company's business outside of these areas.

Forward-Looking Statements

This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Unisys cautions readers that the assumptions forming the basis for forward-looking statements include many factors that are beyond Unisys' ability to control or estimate precisely, such as estimates of future market conditions, the behavior of other market participants and that TCV is based, in part, on the assumption that each of those contracts will continue for their full contracted term. Words such as "anticipates," "estimates," "expects," "projects," "may," "will," "intends," "plans," "believes," "should" and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements and such forward-looking statements are made based upon management's current expectations, assumptions and beliefs as of this date concerning future developments and their potential effect upon Unisys. There can be no assurance that future developments will be in accordance with management's expectations, assumptions and beliefs or that the effect of future developments on Unisys will be those anticipated by management. Forward-looking statements in this release and the accompanying presentation include, but are not limited to, any projections or expectations of revenue growth, margin expansion, achievement of operational efficiencies and savings, future growth of our Next-Gen solutions, TCV and New Business TCV, backlog, pipeline, book-to-bill, full-year 2024 revenue growth and profitability guidance, including constant currency revenue, Ex-L&S revenue growth, L&S revenue, non-GAAP operating profit margin and the assumptions and other expectations made in connection with our full-year 2024 financial guidance, our pension liability and statements regarding future economic conditions or performance. 

Additional information and factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from Unisys' expectations are contained in Unisys' filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including Unisys' Annual Reports on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, recent Current Reports on Form 8-K, and other SEC filings, which are available at the SEC's web site, http://www.sec.gov. Information included in this release is representative as of the date of this release only and while Unisys periodically reassesses material trends and uncertainties affecting Unisys' results of operations and financial condition in connection with its preparation of management's discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition contained in its Quarterly and Annual Reports filed with the SEC, Unisys does not, by including this statement, assume any obligation to review or revise any particular forward-looking statement referenced herein in light of future events.

Non-GAAP Information

This release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain items such as postretirement expense; certain legal and other matters related to professional services and legal fees, including legal defense costs, associated with certain legal proceedings; environmental matters related to previously disposed businesses; 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.

Non-GAAP financial measures are often provided and utilized by the company's management, analysts, and investors to enhance comparability of year-over-year results and to isolate in some instances the impact of software license renewals, which tend to be lumpy, and related support services in order to evaluate the company's business outside of these areas. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on the company's GAAP results for the applicable period. These measures should not be relied upon as substitutes for, or considered in isolation from, measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP can be found below except for financial guidance and other forward-looking information since such a reconciliation is not practicable without unreasonable efforts as the company is unable to reasonably forecast certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation. This information has been provided pursuant to the requirements of SEC Regulation G.
