Unisys Corporation
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
In the opinion of management, the financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for the interim periods specified. These adjustments consist only of normal recurring accruals except as disclosed herein. Because of seasonal and other factors, results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Such estimates include the valuation of accounts receivable, inventories, outsourcing assets, marketable software, goodwill and other long-lived assets, legal contingencies, indemnifications, and assumptions used in the calculation for systems integration projects, income taxes and retirement and other post-employment benefits, among others. These estimates and assumptions are based on managements best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods.
The companys accounting policies are set forth in detail in note 1 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such Annual Report also contains a discussion of the companys critical accounting policies. The company believes that these critical accounting policies affect its more significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of the companys consolidated financial statements. There have been no changes in the companys critical accounting policies from those disclosed in the companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the following weighted-average number of stock options and restricted stock units were antidilutive and therefore excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share (in thousands): 3,264 and 2,148, respectively. In the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, 6,913 (in thousands) of weighted-average mandatory convertible preferred stock were antidilutive and therefore excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share in both periods.

The company expects to make cash contributions of approximately $20 million to its postretirement benefit plan in 2013 compared with $20.4 million in 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, $11.0 million and $12.1 million, respectively, of cash contributions have been made.
c. Fair Value Measurements. Due to its foreign operations, the company is exposed to the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on the U.S. dollar, principally related to intercompany account balances. The company uses derivative financial instruments to reduce its exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates on such balances. The company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts, generally having maturities of one month, which have not been designated as hedging instruments. At September 30, 2013 and 2012, the notional amount of these contracts was $472.3 million and $409.0 million, respectively. At September 30, 2013 and 2012, the fair value of such contracts was a net gain of $.6 million and $.7 million, respectively, of which $1.8 million and $.9 million, respectively, has been recognized in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and $1.2 and $.2 million, respectively, has been recognized in Other accrued liabilities in the companys consolidated balance sheet. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, changes in the fair value of these instruments was a net loss of $6.9 million and a gain of $2.3 million, respectively, which has been recognized in earnings in Other income (expense), net in the companys consolidated statement of income. The fair value of these forward contracts is based on quoted prices for similar but not identical financial instruments; as such, the inputs are considered Level 2 inputs.
Financial assets with carrying values approximating fair value include cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Financial liabilities with carrying values approximating fair value include accounts payable and other accrued liabilities. The carrying amounts of these financial assets and liabilities approximate fair value due to their short maturities. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the carrying amount of long-term debt was less than fair value, which is based on market prices (Level 2 inputs), of such debt by approximately $13 million and $15 million, respectively.
d. Stock Options. Under stockholder approved stock-based plans, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units may be granted to officers, directors and other key employees. At September 30, 2013, 3.2 million shares of unissued common stock of the company were available for granting under these plans.
The fair value of stock option awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions and weighted-average fair values:

Expected life of options in years |

| |
Restricted stock unit awards may contain time-based units, performance-based units or a combination of both. Each performance-based unit will vest into zero to 1.5 shares depending on the degree to which the performance goals are met. Compensation expense resulting from these awards is recognized as expense ratably for each installment from the date of grant until the date the restrictions lapse and is based on the fair market value at the date of grant and the probability of achievement of the specific performance-related goals.
The company records all share-based expense in selling, general and administrative expense.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the company recorded $10.8 million and $11.8 million of share-based compensation expense, respectively, which is comprised of $2.7 million and $4.7 million of restricted stock unit expense and $8.1 million and $7.1 million of stock option expense, respectively.

The aggregate intrinsic value represents the total pretax value of the difference between the companys closing stock price on the last trading day of the period and the exercise price of the options, multiplied by the number of in-the-money stock options that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on September 30, 2013. The intrinsic value of the companys stock options changes based on the closing price of the companys stock. The total intrinsic value of options exercised for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $5.7 million and $.8 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2013, $4.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years.

The fair value of restricted stock units is determined based on the trading price of the companys common shares on the date of grant. The aggregate weighted-average grant-date fair value of restricted stock units granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $5.0 million and $3.2 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2013, there was $1.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding restricted stock units granted under the companys plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years. The aggregate weighted-average grant-date fair value of restricted share units vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $4.3 million and $4.1 million, respectively.
Common stock issued upon exercise of stock options or upon lapse of restrictions on restricted stock units is newly issued shares. Cash received from the exercise of stock options for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $4.5 million and $.4 million, respectively. In light of its tax position, the company is currently not recognizing any tax benefits from the exercise of stock options or upon issuance of stock upon lapse of restrictions on restricted stock units. Tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation costs recognized are classified as financing cash flows.
e. Segment Information. The company has two business segments: Services and Technology. Revenue classifications by segment are as follows: Services systems integration and consulting, outsourcing, infrastructure services and core maintenance; Technology enterprise-class software and servers and other technology.
9
The accounting policies of each business segment are the same as those followed by the company as a whole. Intersegment sales and transfers are priced as if the sales or transfers were to third parties. Accordingly, the Technology segment recognizes intersegment revenue and manufacturing profit on hardware and software shipments to customers under Services contracts. The Services segment, in turn, recognizes customer revenue and marketing profits on such shipments of company hardware and software to customers. The Services segment also includes the sale of hardware and software products sourced from third parties that are sold to customers through the companys Services channels. In the companys consolidated statements of income, the manufacturing costs of products sourced from the Technology segment and sold to Services customers are reported in cost of revenue for Services.
Also included in the Technology segments sales and operating profit are sales of hardware and software sold to the Services segment for internal use in Services engagements. The amount of such profit included in operating income of the Technology segment for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $1.0 million and $.4 million, respectively. The amount for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $3.7 million and $9.8 million, respectively. The profit on these transactions is eliminated in Corporate.
The company evaluates business segment performance based on operating income exclusive of pension income or expense, restructuring charges and unusual and nonrecurring items, which are included in Corporate. All other corporate and centrally incurred costs are allocated to the business segments based principally on revenue, employees, square footage or usage.

g. Supplemental Cash Flow Information. Cash paid, net of refunds, during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 for income taxes was $50.1 million and $30.4 million, respectively.
Cash paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 for interest was $12.9 million and $42.5 million, respectively.
h. Accounting Standards. Effective January 1, 2013, the company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board authoritative guidance that requires companies to disclose the following: (a) for items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) and into net income in their entirety, the effect of the reclassification on each affected net income line item; and (b) for AOCI reclassification items that are not reclassified in their entirety into net income, a cross reference to other required U.S. GAAP disclosures. The new standard was required to be applied prospectively. Other than additional disclosure, the adoption of the new standard did not have an impact on the companys consolidated financial statements.
i. Commitments and Contingencies. There are various lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings that have been brought or asserted against the company, which arise in the ordinary course of business, including actions with respect to commercial and government contracts, labor and employment, employee benefits, environmental matters, intellectual property, and non-income tax and employment compensation in Brazil. The company records a provision for these matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Any provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and are adjusted to reflect the impact and status of settlements, rulings, advice of counsel and other information and events pertinent to a particular matter.
The company believes that it has valid defenses with respect to legal matters pending against it. Based on its experience, the company also believes that the damage amounts claimed in the lawsuits disclosed below are not a meaningful indicator of the companys potential liability. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, however, and it is possible that the companys results of operations or cash flow could be materially affected in any particular period by the resolution of one or more of the legal matters pending against it.
The company had a competitively awarded contract with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) that provided for the establishment of secure information technology environments in airports. The Civil Division of the Department of Justice, working with the Inspector Generals Office of the Department of Homeland Security, has reviewed issues relating to labor categorization and overtime on the TSA contract and cyber-intrusion protection under the TSA and a follow-on contract. The Civil Division is no longer
12
actively involved in the review of these matters and has indicated that the company should address them directly with TSA. The company is involved in discussions with TSA regarding a contractual settlement on these matters. The company cannot now predict the duration or outcome of these discussions.
In April 2007, the Ministry of Justice of Belgium sued Unisys Belgium SA-NV, a Unisys subsidiary (Unisys Belgium), in the Court of First Instance of Brussels. The Belgian government had engaged the company to design and develop software for a computerized system to be used to manage the Belgian court system. The Belgian State terminated the contract and in its lawsuit has alleged that the termination was justified because Unisys Belgium failed to deliver satisfactory software in a timely manner. It claims damages of approximately 28 million Euros. Unisys Belgium filed its defense and counterclaim in April 2008, in the amount of approximately 18.5 million Euros. The company believes it has valid defenses to the claims and contends that the Belgian States termination of the contract was unjustified.
In December 2007, Lufthansa AG sued Unisys Deutschland GmbH, a Unisys subsidiary (Unisys Germany), in the District Court of Frankfurt, Germany, for allegedly failing to perform properly its obligations during the initial phase of a 2004 software design and development contract relating to a Lufthansa customer loyalty program. Under the contract, either party was free to withdraw from the project at the conclusion of the initial design phase. Rather than withdraw, Lufthansa instead terminated the contract and failed to pay the balance owed to Unisys Germany for the initial phase. Lufthansas lawsuit alleges that Unisys Germany breached the contract by failing to deliver a proper design for the new system and seeks approximately 21.4 million Euros in damages. The company believes it has valid defenses and filed its defense and a counterclaim in the amount of approximately 1.5 million Euros. In July 2013, the District Court issued a decision finding Unisys Germany liable for failing to perform its obligations under the initial phase of the contract. It also dismissed Unisys Germanys counterclaim. The District Court did not conduct the damage phase of the proceeding. Unisys Germany appealed the decision on liability in August 2013. The company and outside counsel believe that the District Court decision is flawed and that there are very good arguments to challenge it. Under German law, the appellate court will review the case de novo without deference to the factual findings or legal conclusions of the District Court.
The companys Brazilian operations, along with those of many other companies doing business in Brazil, are involved in various litigation matters, including numerous governmental assessments related to indirect and other taxes, as well as disputes associated with former employees and contract labor. The tax-related matters pertain to value added taxes, customs, duties, sales and other non-income related tax exposures. The labor-related matters include claims related to compensation matters. The company believes that appropriate accruals have been established for such matters based on information currently available. At September 30, 2013, excluding those matters that have been assessed by management as being remote as to the likelihood of ultimately resulting in a loss, the amount related to unreserved tax-related matters, inclusive of any related interest, is estimated to be up to approximately $130 million.
The company is involved in two matters arising from the sale of its Health Information Management (HIM) business to Molina Information Systems, LLC (Molina) under a 2010 Asset Purchase Agreement (APA). The HIM business provided system solutions and services to state governments, including the States of Maine and Idaho, for administering Medicaid programs. In November 2012, Molina advised the company that Maine has demanded payment of about $32 million from Molina for a six month project delay in the implementation of Maines new Medicaid management system. Under the indemnity provision in the APA, the company has accepted a partial indemnity obligation and undertaken the defense of the matter. The company believes there are valid defenses to the allegations made by Maine. In August 2012, Molina sued the company in Federal District Court in Delaware alleging breaches of contract, negligent misrepresentation and intentional misrepresentation with respect to the APA and the Medicaid contract with Idaho. Molina sought compensatory damages, punitive damages, lost profits, indemnification, and declaratory relief. Molina alleged losses of approximately $35 million in the complaint. In June 2013, the District Court granted the companys motion to dismiss the complaint and allowed Molina to replead certain claims and file an amended complaint. In August 2013, Molina filed an amended complaint. Molina continues to allege losses of approximately $35 million and again seeks compensatory damages, punitive damages, lost profits, indemnification and declaratory relief. Unisys has filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint.
With respect to the specific legal proceedings and claims described above, except as otherwise noted, either (i) the amount or range of possible losses in
13
excess of amounts accrued, if any, is not reasonably estimable or (ii) the company believes that the amount or range of possible losses in excess of amounts accrued that are estimable would not be material.
Litigation is inherently unpredictable and unfavorable resolutions could occur. Accordingly, it is possible that an adverse outcome from such matters could exceed the amounts accrued in an amount that could be material to the companys financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in any particular reporting period.
Notwithstanding that the ultimate results of the lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings that have been brought or asserted against the company are not currently determinable, the company believes that at September 30, 2013, it has adequate provisions for any such matters.
j. Income Taxes. Accounting rules governing income taxes require that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between the book and tax bases of recorded assets and liabilities. These rules also require that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized.
The company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets by assessing its valuation allowance and by adjusting the amount of such allowance, if necessary. The factors used to assess the likelihood of realization are the companys historical profitability, forecast of future taxable income and available tax-planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the net deferred tax assets. The company uses tax-planning strategies to realize or renew net deferred tax assets to avoid the potential loss of future tax benefits.
A full valuation allowance is currently maintained for all U.S. and certain foreign deferred tax assets in excess of deferred tax liabilities. The company will record a tax provision or benefit for those international subsidiaries that do not have a full valuation allowance against their net deferred tax assets. Any profit or loss recorded for the companys U.S. operations will have no provision or benefit associated with it due to full valuation allowance, except with respect to refundable tax credits and withholding taxes not creditable against future taxable income. As a result, the companys provision or benefit for taxes may vary significantly depending on the geographic distribution of income.
Included in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 is an increase in the companys income tax provision of $11.4 million caused by a decrease in net deferred tax assets due to a UK rate change. The UK government reduced its corporate tax rate from 23% to 21% effective April 1, 2014, and from 21% to 20% effective April 1, 2015. These changes were considered to be enacted for U.S. GAAP purposes in July of 2013, when all legislative procedures were completed and the Finance Act of 2013 received Royal Assent.
Included in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 is an increase in the companys income tax provision of $9.2 million caused by a decrease in net deferred tax assets due to a UK rate change. The UK government reduced its corporate tax rate from 25% to 24% effective April 1, 2012, and from 24% to 23% effective April 1, 2013. These changes were considered to be enacted for U.S. GAAP purposes in July of 2012, when all legislative procedures were completed and the Finance Act of 2012 received Royal Assent.
Internal Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383 provide annual limitations with respect to the ability of a corporation to utilize its net operating loss (as well as certain built-in losses) and tax credit carryforwards, respectively (Tax Attributes), against future U.S. taxable income, if the corporation experiences an ownership change. In general terms, an ownership change may result from transactions increasing the ownership of certain stockholders in the stock of a corporation by more than 50 percentage points over a three-year period. The company regularly monitors ownership changes (as calculated for purposes of Section 382). The company has determined that, for purposes of the rules of Section 382 described above, an ownership change occurred in February 2011. Any future transaction or transactions and the timing of such transaction or transactions could trigger additional ownership changes under Section 382.
As a result of the ownership change, utilization of the companys Tax Attributes will be subject to an estimated overall annual limitation determined in part by multiplying the total adjusted aggregate market value of the companys common stock immediately preceding the ownership change (approximately $1.6 billion) by the applicable long-term tax-exempt rate (4.47% for February 2011), subject to increase or decrease based on the built-in gain or built-in loss, if any, in the companys assets at the time of the ownership change. Any unused annual
14
limitation may be carried over to later years. Future U.S. taxable income may not be fully offset by existing Tax Attributes, if such income exceeds the companys annual limitation. However, based on presently available information and the existence of tax planning strategies, the company does not expect to incur a U.S. cash tax liability in the near term. The company maintains a full valuation allowance against the realization of all U.S. deferred tax assets as well as certain foreign deferred tax assets in excess of deferred tax liabilities.
k. Long-Term Debt. On August 21, 2012, the company issued $210 million of 6.25% senior notes due 2017. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the company retired an aggregate principal amount of $362.3 million of its long-term debt, comprised of all of the remaining $186.2 million of its 12.75% senior secured notes due 2014, all of the remaining $25.5 million of its 14 1⁄4% senior secured notes due 2015 and all of the remaining $150.6 million of its 12.50% senior notes due 2016. The company used cash on hand and the net proceeds from the issuance of the 6.25% senior notes due 2017 to fund the retirement of this debt. As a result of these retirements, the company recognized charges of $30.6 million in Other income (expense), net in the nine months ended September 30, 2012, comprised of $26.6 million of premium paid and $4.0 million for the write off of unamortized discounts, issuance costs and gain related to the portion of the notes retired. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the company recognized $23.1 million of such charges.
l. Sale of Business. On March 30, 2012, the company completed the sale of its interest in its South African joint venture and reported a pretax gain of $10.6 million, which was reported as a reduction of selling, general and administrative expense in the companys consolidated statement of income. Since the sale, the company has served this market through a distributor. The joint venture, which had operations in both of the companys reporting segments of Services and Technology, generated full year 2011 revenue and pretax income of $39.9 million and $7.9 million, respectively. Principally due to higher project-based revenue, particularly public sector in-quarter sell and bill revenue, the joint venture generated first quarter 2012 revenue and pretax income of $47.6 million and $7.6 million, respectively.
m. Foreign Currency Translation. Due to inflation rates in recent years, the companys Venezuelan subsidiary has applied highly inflationary accounting beginning January 1, 2010. For those international subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies, the U.S. dollar is the functional currency, and as such, nonmonetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical exchange rates, and monetary assets and liabilities are translated at current exchange rates. Exchange gains and losses arising from translation are included in other income (expense), net. Effective February 13, 2013, the Venezuelan government devalued its currency (Bolivar Fuerte) by resetting the official exchange rate from 4.30 to the U.S. dollar to 6.30 to the U.S. dollar. As a result, the company recorded a pretax foreign exchange loss in the first quarter of 2013 of $6.5 million. At September 30, 2013, the companys operations in Venezuela had net monetary assets denominated in local currency of approximately $14.6 million.
n. Stockholders Equity. On December 10, 2012, the company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized the company to purchase up to an aggregate of $50 million of the companys common stock and mandatory convertible preferred stock through December 31, 2014. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the company repurchased an aggregate of .6 million shares of common stock for approximately $11.5 million. Actual cash disbursements for repurchased shares may differ if the settlement dates for shares repurchased occurs after the end of the quarter. At September 30, 2013, there remained approximately $38.5 million available for future repurchases under the Board authorization.
o. Statement of Cash Flows. In 2013, the company began to report its defined benefit pension plans contributions as a separate line item within the operating cash flow section of its consolidated statements of cash flows. The prior period statement of cash flows has been changed to present pension plans contributions separately and to adjust the amounts presented for other assets and liabilities. There was no change to total net cash provided by operating activities in the prior year.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
The companys results for the first nine months of 2013 were impacted by lower revenue for IT services and technology. Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $2,460.6 million compared with $2,727.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Services revenue over the first nine months of 2013 declined 9%, primarily reflecting lower revenue for project-based services and solutions. Technology revenue, which can vary significantly from quarter to quarter based on the timing of customer purchases, declined 18% in the first nine months of 2013 due to lower sales of enterprise-class software and servers.
Reflecting lower revenue, the company reported a nine month 2013 net loss of $25.1 million, or $.57 per diluted share, compared with net income of $47.6 million, or $1.08 per diluted share, in the first nine months of 2012. Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 included pretax income of $7.6 million from the operations of the companys former South African subsidiary, which was sold in March 2012, and a $10.6 million pretax gain on the sale of this subsidiary (see Note (1) of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). In addition, the results for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 include pretax charges of $30.6 million related to debt reduction charges (see Note (k) of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

Revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 was $792.1 million compared with $877.4 million for the third quarter of 2012, a decrease of 10% from the prior year. Foreign currency fluctuations had a 1-percentage point negative impact on revenue in the current period compared with the year-ago period.
Services revenue decreased 4% and Technology revenue decreased 44% in the current quarter compared with the year-ago period. U.S. revenue decreased 2% in the third quarter compared with the year-ago period. International revenue decreased 15% in the current quarter due to declines in all regions.

Total gross profit margin was 21.7% in the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared with 24.9% in the three months ended September 30, 2012 reflecting lower revenue and margin in companys technology business.
Selling, general and administrative expense in the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $131.7 million (16.6% of revenue) compared with $138.6 million (15.8% of revenue) in the year-ago period.
Research and development (R&D) expenses in the third quarter of 2013 were $15.8 million compared with $18.8 million in the third quarter of 2012.

The company records pension income or expense, as well as other employee-related costs such as
16
payroll taxes and medical insurance costs, in operating income in the following income statement categories: cost of revenue; selling, general and administrative expenses; and research and development expenses. The amount allocated to each category is principally based on where the salaries of active employees are charged.

As discussed in note (j) of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the company evaluates quarterly the realizability of its deferred tax assets by assessing its valuation allowance and by adjusting the amount of such allowance, if necessary. The company records a tax provision or benefit for those international subsidiaries that do not have a full valuation allowance against their net deferred tax assets. Any profit or loss recorded for the companys U.S. operations has no provision or benefit associated with it due to a full valuation allowance. As a result, the companys provision or benefit for taxes may vary significantly quarter to quarter depending on the geographic distribution of income.
For the three months ended September 30, 2013, the company reported a net loss of $11.6 million, or $.26 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $12.4 million, or $.28 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Segment results
The company has two business segments: Services and Technology. Revenue classifications by segment are as follows: Services systems integration and consulting, outsourcing, infrastructure services and core maintenance; Technology enterprise-class software and servers and other technology.
The accounting policies of each business segment are the same as those followed by the company as a whole. Intersegment sales and transfers are priced as if the sales or transfers were to third parties. Accordingly, the Technology segment recognizes intersegment revenue and manufacturing profit on hardware and software shipments to customers under Services contracts. The Services segment, in turn, recognizes customer revenue and marketing profits on such shipments of company hardware and software to customers. The Services segment also includes the sale of hardware and software products sourced from third parties that are sold to customers through the companys Services channels. In the companys consolidated statements of income, the manufacturing costs of products sourced from the Technology segment and sold to Services customers are reported in cost of revenue for Services.
Also included in the Technology segments sales and operating profit are sales of hardware and software sold to the Services segment for internal use in Services engagements. The amount of such profit included in operating income of the Technology segment for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $1.0 million and $.4 million, respectively. The amount for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $3.7 million and $9.8 million, respectively. The profit on these transactions is eliminated in Corporate.
The company evaluates business segment performance based on operating income exclusive of pension income or expense, restructuring charges and unusual and nonrecurring items, which are included in Corporate. All other corporate and centrally incurred costs are allocated to the business segments based principally on revenue, employees, square footage or usage.

In the Services segment, customer revenue was $2,182.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, a decline of 8.6% when compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2012 principally due to a decline in systems integration and consulting revenue.

20
Revenue from systems integration and consulting was $674.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared with $801.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Revenue from the companys enterprise-class software and servers decreased 22.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease was due to lower sales of the companys ClearPath products.
Revenue from other technology increased $10.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2012, principally due to higher sales of third-party technology products.
Technology gross profit was 48.4% in the current nine-month period compared with 61.8% in the year-ago period. Technology operating profit percent was 6.7% in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared with 27.8% in the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in Technology gross profit and operating profit margins reflected the lower ClearPath revenue.
New accounting pronouncements
See note (h) of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a full description of recent accounting pronouncements, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on the companys consolidated financial statements.
Financial condition
The companys principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash from operations and its revolving credit facility, discussed below. The company and certain international subsidiaries have access to uncommitted lines of credit from various banks. The company believes that it will have adequate sources of liquidity to meet its expected near-term cash requirements.
Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2013 were $555.9 million compared with $655.6 million at December 31, 2012.
As of September 30, 2013, approximately $369 million of cash and cash equivalents were held by the companys foreign subsidiaries. In the future, if these funds are needed for the companys operations in the U.S., the company may be required to accrue and pay taxes to repatriate these funds.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, cash provided by operations was $46.2 million compared with $107.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Cash provided by operations during the first nine months of 2013 was positively impacted by a decrease in cash contributions to the companys defined benefit pension plans. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the company contributed $101.6 million to such plans compared with $175.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. In the first nine months of 2013, the company made cash contributions of $20.4 million to its U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan compared with $111.1 million in the prior-year period.
21
Cash used for investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $109.5 million compared with cash usage of $90.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Net purchases of investments were $7.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared with net proceeds of $2.4 million in the prior-year period. Proceeds from investments and purchases of investments represent derivative financial instruments used to reduce the companys currency exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. In addition, in the current period, the investment in marketable software was $47.3 million compared with $42.9 million in the year-ago period, capital additions of properties were $26.1 million in 2013 compared with $26.0 million in 2012 and capital additions of outsourcing assets were $29.6 million in 2013 compared with $27.8 million in 2012.
Cash used for financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $19.1 million compared with cash usage of $200.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The current-year period includes $11.5 million for common stock repurchases and the prior-year period includes cash payment for long-term debt of $388.9 million and net proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt of $204.8 million.
On August 21, 2012, the company issued $210 million of 6.25% senior notes due 2017. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the company retired an aggregate principal amount of $362.3 million of its long-term debt, comprised of all of the remaining $186.2 million of its 12.75% senior secured notes due 2014, all of the remaining $25.5 million of its 14 1⁄4% senior secured notes due 2015 and all of the remaining $150.6 million of its 12.50% senior notes due 2016. The company used cash on hand and the net proceeds from the issuance of the 6.25% senior notes due 2017 to fund the retirement of this debt.
In June 2011, the company entered into a five-year secured revolving credit facility which provides for loans and letters of credit up to an aggregate amount of $150 million (with a limit on letters of credit of $100 million). Borrowing limits under the credit agreement are based upon the amount of eligible U.S. accounts receivable. At September 30, 2013, the company had no borrowings and $24.1 million of letters of credit outstanding under the facility. At September 30, 2013, availability under the facility was $75.5 million net of letters of credit issued. Borrowings under the facility will bear interest based on short-term rates. The credit agreement contains customary representations and warranties, including that there has been no material adverse change in the companys business, properties, operations or financial condition. It also contains financial covenants requiring the company to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and, if the companys consolidated cash plus availability under the credit facility falls below $130 million, a maximum secured leverage ratio. The credit agreement allows the company to pay dividends on its preferred stock unless the company is in default and to, among other things, repurchase its equity, prepay other debt, incur other debt or liens, dispose of assets and make acquisitions, loans and investments, provided the company complies with certain requirements and limitations set forth in the agreement. Events of default include non-payment, failure to comply with covenants, materially incorrect representations and warranties, change of control and default under other debt aggregating at least $50 million. The credit facility is guaranteed by Unisys Holding Corporation, Unisys NPL, Inc. and any future material domestic subsidiaries. The facility is secured by the assets of Unisys Corporation and the subsidiary guarantors, other than certain excluded assets. The company may elect to prepay or terminate the credit facility without penalty.
At September 30, 2013, the company has met all covenants and conditions under its various lending and funding agreements. The company expects to continue to meet these covenants and conditions.
In 2013, the company expects to make cash contributions to its worldwide defined benefit pension plans of approximately $144 million, which is comprised of $110 million primarily for non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans and $34 million for the companys U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan.
The company has on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission an effective registration statement, expiring in June of 2015, covering debt or equity securities, which enables the company to be prepared for future market opportunities.
The company may, from time to time, redeem, tender for, or repurchase its securities in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions depending upon availability, market conditions and other factors.
22
Factors that may affect future results
From time to time, the company provides information containing forward-looking statements, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements provide current expectations of future events and include any statement that does not directly relate to any historical or current fact. Words such as anticipates, believes, expects, intends, plans, projects and similar expressions may identify such forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements rely on assumptions and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause the companys actual results to differ materially from expectations. Factors that could affect future results include, but are not limited to, those discussed below. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which that statement is made. The company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date on which the statement is made.
Factors that could affect future results include the following:
Future results will depend in part on the companys ability to drive profitable growth in consulting and systems integration. The companys ability to grow profitably in this business will depend on the level of demand for systems integration projects and the portfolio of solutions the company offers for specific industries. It will also depend on an efficient utilization of services delivery personnel. In addition, profit margins in this business are a function of both the portfolio of solutions sold in a given period and the rates the company is able to charge for services and the chargeability of its professionals. If the company is unable to attain sufficient rates and chargeability for its professionals, profit margins will be adversely affected. The rates the company is able to charge for services are affected by a number of factors, including clients perception of the companys ability to add value through its services; introduction of new services or products by the company or its competitors; pricing policies of competitors; and general economic conditions. Chargeability is also affected by a number of factors, including the companys ability to transition employees from completed projects to new engagements, and its ability to forecast demand for services and thereby maintain an appropriate headcount.
The companys future results will depend in part on its ability to take on, successfully implement and grow outsourcing operations. The companys outsourcing contracts are multiyear engagements under which the company takes over management of a clients technology operations, business processes or networks. In a number of these arrangements, the company hires certain of its clients employees and may become responsible for the related employee obligations, such as pension and severance commitments. In addition, system development activity on outsourcing contracts may require the company to make significant upfront investments. The company will need to have available sufficient financial resources in order to take on these obligations and make these investments.
Recoverability of outsourcing assets is dependent on various factors, including the timely completion and ultimate cost of the outsourcing solution, and realization of expected profitability of existing outsourcing contracts. These risks could result in an impairment of a portion of the associated assets, which are tested for recoverability quarterly.
As long-term relationships, outsourcing contracts provide a base of recurring revenue. However, outsourcing contracts are highly complex and can involve the design, development, implementation and operation of new solutions and the transitioning of clients from their existing business processes to the new environment. In the early phases of these contracts, gross margins may be lower than in later years when an integrated solution has been implemented, the duplicate costs of transitioning from the old to the new system have been eliminated and the work force and facilities have been rationalized for efficient operations. Future results will depend on the companys ability to effectively and timely complete these implementations, transitions and rationalizations.
Future results will also depend, in part, on market demand for the companys high-end enterprise servers and maintenance on these servers. The company continues to apply its resources to develop value-added software capabilities and optimized solutions for these server platforms which provide competitive differentiation. Future results will depend on the companys ability to maintain its installed base for ClearPath and to develop next-generation ClearPath products to expand the market.
23
The company faces aggressive competition in the information services and technology marketplace, which could lead to reduced demand for the companys products and services and could have an adverse effect on the companys business. The information services and technology markets in which the company operates include a large number of companies vying for customers and market share both domestically and internationally. The companys competitors include consulting and other professional services firms, systems integrators, outsourcing providers, infrastructure services providers, computer hardware manufacturers and software providers. Some of the companys competitors may develop competing products and services that offer better price-performance or that reach the market in advance of the companys offerings. Some competitors also have or may develop greater financial and other resources than the company, with enhanced ability to compete for market share, in some instances through significant economic incentives to secure contracts. Some also may be better able to compete for skilled professionals. Any of these factors could lead to reduced demand for the companys products and services and could have an adverse effect on the companys business. Future results will depend on the companys ability to mitigate the effects of aggressive competition on revenues, pricing and margins and on the companys ability to attract and retain talented people.
The companys future results will depend on its ability to retain significant clients. The company has a number of significant long-term contracts with clients, including governmental entities, and its future success will depend, in part, on retaining its relationships with these clients. The company could lose clients for such reasons as contract expiration, conversion to a competing service provider, disputes with clients or a decision to in-source services, including for contracts with governmental entities as part of the rebid process. The company could also lose clients as a result of their merger, acquisition or business failure. The company may not be able to replace the revenue and earnings from any such lost client.
The companys future results will depend upon its ability to effectively anticipate and respond to volatility and rapid technological change in its industry. The company operates in a highly volatile industry characterized by rapid technological change, evolving technology standards, short product life cycles and continually changing customer demand patterns. Future success will depend in part on the companys ability to anticipate and respond to these market trends and to design, develop, introduce, deliver or obtain new and innovative products, services and software on a timely and cost-effective basis. The company may not be successful in anticipating or responding to changes in technology, industry standards or customer preferences, and the market may not demand or accept its services and product offerings. In addition, products and services developed by competitors may make the companys offerings less competitive.
The companys business can be adversely affected by global economic conditions, acts of war, terrorism or natural disasters. The companys financial results have been impacted by the global economic slowdown in recent years. If economic conditions worsen, the company could see reductions in demand and increased pressure on revenue and profit margins. The company could also see a further consolidation of clients, which could also result in a decrease in demand. The companys business could also be affected by acts of war, terrorism or natural disasters. Current world tensions could escalate, and this could have unpredictable consequences on the world economy and on the companys business.
The company has significant pension obligations and may be required to make significant cash contributions to its defined benefit pension plans. The company has unfunded obligations under its U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans. Based on current legislation, recent interest rates and expected returns, in 2013 the company estimates that it will make cash contributions to its worldwide defined benefit pension plans of approximately $144 million, which is comprised of $34 million for the companys U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan and $110 million primarily for non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans.
Deterioration in the value of the companys worldwide defined benefit pension plan assets, as well as discount rate changes, could require the company to make larger cash contributions to its defined benefit pension plans in the future. In addition, the funding of plan deficits over a shorter period of time than currently anticipated could result in making cash contributions to these plans on a more accelerated basis. Either of these events would reduce the cash available for working capital and other corporate uses and may have an adverse impact on the companys operations, financial condition and liquidity.
24
The companys future results will depend on its ability to continue to reduce costs, focus its global resources and simplify its business structure. Over the past several years, the company has implemented significant cost-reduction measures and continues to focus on measures intended to further improve cost efficiency. Future results will depend on the success of these efforts as well as on the companys continued ability to focus its global resources and simplify its business structure.
The companys contracts may not be as profitable as expected or provide the expected level of revenues. In a number of the companys long-term contracts for infrastructure services, outsourcing, help desk and similar services, the companys revenue is based on the volume of products and services provided. As a result, revenue levels anticipated at the contracts inception are not guaranteed. In addition, some of these contracts may permit termination at the customers discretion before the end of the contracts term or may permit termination or impose other penalties if the company does not meet the performance levels specified in the contracts.
The companys contracts with governmental entities are subject to the availability of appropriated funds. These contracts also contain provisions allowing the governmental entity to terminate the contract at the governmental entitys discretion before the end of the contracts term. In addition, if the companys performance is unacceptable to the customer under a government contract, the government retains the right to pursue remedies under the affected contract, which remedies could include termination.
Certain of the companys outsourcing agreements require that the companys prices be benchmarked if the customer requests it and provide that those prices may be adjusted downward if the pricing for similar services in the market has changed. As a result, revenues anticipated at the beginning of the terms of these contracts may decline in the future.
Some of the companys systems integration contracts are fixed-price contracts under which the company assumes the risk for delivery of the contracted services and products at an agreed-upon fixed price. Should the company experience problems in performing fixed-price contracts on a profitable basis, adjustments to the estimated cost to complete may be required. Future results will depend on the companys ability to perform these services contracts profitably.
The companys contracts with U.S. governmental agencies may subject the company to audits, criminal penalties, sanctions and other expenses and fines. The company frequently enters into contracts with governmental entities. U.S. government agencies, including the Defense Contract Audit Agency and the Department of Labor, routinely audit government contractors. These agencies review a contractors performance under its contracts, cost structure and compliance with applicable laws, regulations and standards. The U.S. government also may review the adequacy of, and a contractors compliance with contract terms and conditions, its systems and policies, including the contractors purchasing, property, estimating, billing, accounting, compensation and management information systems. Any costs found to be overcharged or improperly allocated to a specific contract or any amounts improperly billed or charged for products or services will be subject to reimbursement to the government. In addition, government contractors, such as the company, are required to disclose credible evidence of certain violations of law and contract overpayments to the federal government. If the company is found to have participated in improper or illegal activities, the company may be subject to civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including termination of contracts, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines and suspension or prohibition from doing business with the U.S. government. Any negative publicity related to such contracts, regardless of the accuracy of such publicity, may adversely affect the companys business or reputation.
The company may face damage to its reputation or legal liability if its clients are not satisfied with its services or products. The success of the companys business is dependent on strong, long-term client relationships and on its reputation for responsiveness and quality. As a result, if a client is not satisfied with the companys services or products, its reputation could be damaged and its business adversely affected. Allegations by private litigants or regulators of improper conduct, as well as negative publicity and press speculation about the company, whatever the outcome and whether or not valid, may harm its reputation. In addition to harm to reputation, if the company fails to meet its contractual obligations, it could be subject to legal liability, which could adversely affect its business, operating results and financial condition.
25
Breaches of data security could expose the company to legal liability and could harm the companys business and reputation. The companys business includes managing, processing, storing and transmitting proprietary and confidential data, including personal information, within the companys own IT systems and those the company designs, develops, hosts or manages for clients. Breaches of data security involving these systems by hackers, other third parties or the companys employees, despite established security controls with respect to this data, could result in the loss of data or the unauthorized disclosure or misuse of confidential information of the company, its clients, or others. This could result in litigation and legal liability for the company, lead to the loss of existing or potential clients, adversely affect the markets perception of the security and reliability of the companys products and services and lead to shutdowns or disruptions of the companys IT systems. In addition, such breaches could subject the company to fines and penalties for violations of data privacy laws. This may negatively impact the companys reputation and financial results.
Future results will depend in part on the performance and capabilities of third parties with whom the company has commercial relationships. The company has commercial relationships with suppliers, channel partners and other parties that have complementary products, services or skills. Future results will depend, in part, on the performance and capabilities of these third parties, on the ability of external suppliers to deliver components at reasonable prices and in a timely manner, and on the financial condition of, and the companys relationship with, distributors and other indirect channel partners.
More than half of the companys revenue is derived from operations outside of the United States, and the company is subject to the risks of doing business internationally. More than half of the companys total revenue is derived from international operations. The risks of doing business internationally include foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, currency restrictions and devaluations, changes in political or economic conditions, trade protection measures, import or export licensing requirements, multiple and possibly overlapping and conflicting tax laws, new tax legislation, weaker intellectual property protections in some jurisdictions and additional legal and regulatory compliance requirements applicable to businesses that operate internationally, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and non-U.S. laws and regulations.
Financial market conditions may inhibit the companys ability to access capital and credit markets to address its liquidity needs. Financial market conditions may impact the companys ability to borrow, to refinance its outstanding debt, or to utilize surety bonds, letters of credit, foreign exchange derivatives and other financial instruments the company uses to conduct its business. Although the company primarily uses cash on hand to address its liquidity needs, its ability to do so assumes that its operations will continue to generate sufficient cash.
The companys services or products may infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others. The company cannot be sure that its services and products do not infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties, and it may have infringement claims asserted against it or against its clients. These claims could cost the company money, prevent it from offering some services or products, or damage its reputation.
Pending litigation could affect the companys results of operations or cash flow. There are various lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings that have been brought or asserted against the company, which arise in the ordinary course of business, including actions with respect to commercial and government contracts, labor and employment, employee benefits, environmental matters, intellectual property and non-income tax and employment compensation in Brazil. See Note (i) of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on litigation. The company believes that it has valid defenses with respect to legal matters pending against it. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, however, and it is possible that the companys results of operations or cash flow could be materially affected in any particular period by the resolution of one or more of the legal matters pending against it.
The company could face business and financial risk in implementing future dispositions or acquisitions. As part of the companys business strategy, it may from time to time consider disposing of existing technologies, products and businesses that may no longer be in alignment with its strategic direction,
26
including transactions of a material size, or acquiring complementary technologies, products and businesses. Potential risks with respect to dispositions include difficulty finding buyers or alternative exit strategies on acceptable terms in a timely manner; potential loss of employees or clients; dispositions at unfavorable prices or on unfavorable terms, including relating to retained liabilities; and post closing indemnity claims. Any acquisitions may result in the incurrence of substantial additional indebtedness or contingent liabilities. Acquisitions could also result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities and an increase in amortization expenses related to intangible assets. Additional potential risks associated with acquisitions include integration difficulties; difficulties in maintaining or enhancing the profitability of any acquired business; risks of entering markets in which the company has no or limited prior experience; potential loss of employees or failure to maintain or renew any contracts of any acquired business; and expenses of any undiscovered or potential liabilities of the acquired product or business, including relating to employee benefits contribution obligations or environmental requirements. Further, with respect to both dispositions and acquisitions, managements attention could be diverted from other business concerns. Adverse credit conditions could also affect the companys ability to consummate dispositions or acquisitions. The risks associated with dispositions and acquisitions could have a material adverse effect upon the companys business, financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that the company will be successful in consummating future dispositions or acquisitions on favorable terms or at all.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There has been no material change in the companys assessment of its sensitivity to market risk since its disclosure in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The companys management, with the participation of the companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the companys disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of such period, the companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Such evaluation did not identify any change in the companys internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the companys internal control over financial reporting.
