UNISYS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(Dollars in millions, except share and per share amounts)
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements and footnotes of Unisys Corporation have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP). The financial statements and footnotes are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), financial position, cash flows and equity (deficit) 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 GAAP 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 estimated credit losses, contract assets, operating lease right-of-use assets, outsourcing assets, marketable software, goodwill, purchased intangibles and other long-lived assets, legal contingencies, 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 management’s 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 materially from these estimates. Changes in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment such as rising interest rates, inflation, fluctuation in foreign exchange rates and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods.
The company’s accounting policies are set forth in detail in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such Annual Report also contains a discussion of the company’s critical accounting policies and estimates. The company believes that these critical accounting policies and estimates affect its more significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of the company’s consolidated financial statements.
Note 2 - Cost-Reduction Actions
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the company recognized net charges related to workforce reductions of $0.7 million, principally related to severance costs. These net charges were comprised of: (a) a charge of $2.6 million and (b) a credit of $1.9 million for changes in estimates. In addition, the company recorded a credit of $3.5 million for net foreign currency gains related to exiting foreign countries.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the company recognized net cost-reduction charges and other costs of $3.0 million. The credit related to workforce reductions was $0.6 million for changes in estimates. In addition, the company recorded net charges of $3.6 million comprised of a charge of $1.1 million for net foreign currency losses related to exiting foreign countries, a charge of $3.8 million for asset impairments and a credit of $1.3 million for changes in estimates related to other cost-reduction efforts.

(i)Service cost is reported in selling, general and administrative expense. All other components of net periodic pension expense (income) are reported in other (expense), net in the consolidated statements of income (loss). | ||
(ii)In March 2023, the company purchased a group annuity contract, with plan assets, for approximately $265 million to transfer projected benefit obligations related to approximately 8,650 retirees of one of the company’s U.S. defined benefit pension plans. This action resulted in a pre-tax settlement loss of $183.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. |
In 2023, the company expects to make cash contributions of approximately $40 million primarily for its international defined benefit pension plans. In 2022, the company made cash contributions of $39.3 million to its worldwide defined benefit pension plans. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the company made cash contributions of $14.5 million and $15.1 million, respectively.
At the end of each year, the company estimates its future cash contributions to its U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans based on year-end pension data and assumptions. Any material deterioration in the value of the company’s U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan assets, as well as changes in pension legislation, discount rate changes, asset return changes, or changes in economic or demographic trends, could require the company to make cash contributions to its U.S. defined benefit pension plans in different amounts and on a different schedule than previously contemplated.

The company expects to make cash contributions of $4.0 million to its postretirement benefit plan in 2023. In 2022, the company made cash contributions of $4.3 million to its postretirement benefit plan. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the company made cash contributions of $1.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively.
Note 4 - Stock Compensation
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.
As of March 31, 2023, the company has granted restricted stock and restricted stock units under these plans. The company recognizes compensation cost, net of a forfeiture rate, in selling, general and administrative expense, and recognizes compensation cost only for those awards expected to vest. The company estimates the forfeiture rate based on its historical experience and its expectations about future forfeitures.
9
During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the company recorded $4.7 million and $6.6 million of share-based restricted stock and restricted stock unit compensation expense, respectively.
Restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards may contain time-based units, performance-based units, total shareholder return market-based units, or a combination of these units. Each performance-based and market-based unit will vest into zero to two shares depending on the degree to which the performance or market conditions are met. Compensation expense for performance-based 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. Compensation expense for market-related awards is recognized as expense ratably over the measurement period, regardless of the actual level of achievement, provided the service requirement is met. Restricted stock unit grants for the company’s directors vest upon award and compensation expense for such awards is recognized upon grant.
A summary of restricted stock and restricted stock unit (RSU) activity for the three months ended March 31, 2023 follows (shares in thousands):
Restricted Stock and RSU | Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value | |||||||||||||

The aggregate weighted-average grant-date fair value of restricted stock and restricted stock units granted during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $13.8 million and $22.2 million, respectively. The fair value of restricted stock and restricted stock units with time and performance conditions was determined based on the trading price of the company’s common shares on the date of grant. The fair value of awards with market conditions was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation with the following weighted-average assumptions:

(ii)Based on historical volatility for the company that is commensurate with the length of the performance period. | ||
(iii)Represents the remaining life of the longest performance period. |
As of March 31, 2023, there was $30.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding restricted stock and restricted stock units granted under the company’s plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years. The aggregate weighted-average grant-date fair value of restricted stock and restricted stock units vested during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $6.6 million and $14.0 million, respectively.
Common stock issued upon the lapse of restrictions on restricted stock and restricted stock units are newly issued shares.

Note 6 - 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 such amount, if necessary. The realization of the company’s net deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2023 is primarily dependent on the ability to generate sustained taxable income in various jurisdictions. Judgment is required to estimate forecasted future taxable income, which may be impacted by future business developments, actual results, strategic operational and tax initiatives, legislative, and other economic factors and developments. Any increase or decrease in the valuation allowance would result in additional or lower income tax expense in that period and could have a significant impact on that period’s earnings.
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 company’s U.S. operations will have no provision or benefit associated with it due to such valuation allowance, except with respect to withholding taxes not creditable against future taxable income. As a result, the company’s provision or benefit for taxes may vary significantly depending on the geographic distribution of income.
A corporation’s ability to deduct its federal net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards and utilize certain other available tax attributes can be substantially constrained under the general annual limitation rules of Section 382 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (Section 382) if it undergoes an “ownership change” as defined in Section 382 (generally where cumulative stock ownership changes among material shareholders exceed 50 percent during a rolling three-year period). Similar rules may apply under state tax laws. A future tax “ownership change” pursuant to Section 382 or future changes in tax laws that impose tax attribute utilization limitations may severely limit or effectively eliminate the company’s ability to utilize its NOL carryforwards and other tax attributes.

Note 9 - Capitalized Contract Costs
The company’s incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract consist of sales commissions which are deferred and amortized ratably over the initial contract life. These costs are classified as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when the company expects to recognize the expense. The current and noncurrent portions of deferred commissions are included in prepaid expenses, other current assets and in other long-term assets, respectively, in the company’s consolidated balance sheets. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the company had $3.2 million and $4.9 million, respectively, of deferred commissions.

Costs on outsourcing contracts are generally expensed as incurred. However, certain costs incurred upon initiation of an outsourcing contract (costs to fulfill a contract), principally initial customer setup, are capitalized and expensed over the initial contract life. These costs are included in outsourcing assets, net in the company’s consolidated balance sheets. The amount of such costs at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $31.4 million and $34.8 million, respectively. These costs are amortized over the initial contract life and reported in cost of revenue.

Note 10 - Financial Instruments and 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 three months or less, which have not been designated as hedging instruments. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the notional amount of these contracts was $468.7 million and $533.5 million, respectively. 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.
The following table summarizes the fair value of the company’s foreign exchange forward contracts.

See Note 10 for the fair value of the notes. |
The company has outstanding $485.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 (the 2027 Notes). The 2027 Notes pay interest semiannually on May 1 and November 1 and will mature on November 1, 2027, unless earlier repurchased or redeemed. The 2027 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis by Unisys Holding Corporation, Unisys NPL, Inc. and Unisys AP Investment Company I, each of which is a U.S. corporation that is directly or indirectly owned by the company (the subsidiary guarantors).
The 2027 Notes and the related guarantees rank equally in right of payment with all of the existing and future senior debt of the company and its subsidiary guarantors and senior in right of payment to any future subordinated debt of the company and its subsidiary guarantors. The 2027 Notes and the related guarantees are structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities (including preferred stock, trade payables and pension liabilities) of the subsidiaries of the company that are not subsidiary guarantors. The 2027 Notes and the guarantees are secured by liens on substantially all assets of the company and the subsidiary guarantors, other than certain excluded assets (the collateral). The liens securing the 2027 Notes on certain ABL collateral are subordinated to the liens on ABL collateral in favor of the ABL secured parties and, in the future, the liens securing the 2027 Notes may be subordinated to liens on the collateral securing certain permitted first lien debt, subject to certain limitations and permitted liens.
Prior to November 1, 2023, the company may, at its option, redeem some or all of the 2027 Notes at any time, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2027 Notes redeemed plus a “make-whole” premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. The company may also redeem, at its option, up to 40% of the 2027 Notes at any time prior to November 1, 2023, using the proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price of 106.875% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. On or after November 1, 2023, the company may, on any one or more occasions, redeem all or a part of the 2027 Notes at specified redemption premiums, declining to par for any redemptions on or after November 1, 2025.
15
The indenture contains covenants that limit the ability of the company and its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things: (i) incur additional indebtedness and guarantee indebtedness; (ii) pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem its capital stock; (iii) prepay, redeem or repurchase certain debt; (iv) make certain prepayments in respect of pension obligations; (v) issue certain preferred stock or similar equity securities; (vi) make loans and investments (including investments by the company and subsidiary guarantors in subsidiaries that are not guarantors); (vii) sell assets; (viii) create or incur liens; (ix) enter into transactions with affiliates; (x) enter into agreements restricting its subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends; and (xi) consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of its assets. These covenants are subject to several important limitations and exceptions.
If the company experiences certain kinds of changes of control (as defined in the indenture), it will be required to offer to repurchase the 2027 Notes at 101% of the principal amount of the 2027 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest as of the repurchase date, if any. In addition, if the company sells assets, under certain circumstances it must apply the proceeds towards an offer to repurchase the 2027 Notes at a price equal to par plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.
The indenture also provides for events of default, which, if any of them occur, would permit or require the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding 2027 Notes to be due and payable immediately.
Interest expense related to the 2027 Notes is comprised of the following:

Interest accrues at an annual rate of 7.0% and the company is required to make monthly principal and interest payments on each agreement in arrears. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $4.1 million and $5.5 million, was reported in current maturities of long-term debt, respectively.
The company has a vendor agreement in the amount of $19.3 million to finance the acquisition of certain software licenses used to provide services to our clients and for its own internal use. Interest accrues at an annual rate of 5.47% and the company is required to make annual principal and interest payments in advance with the last payment due on March 1, 2024. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $4.2 million and $4.0 million, was reported in current maturities of long-term debt, respectively.
Asset Based Lending (ABL) Credit Facility
The company has a secured revolving credit facility (the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility) that matures on October 29, 2025 and provides for revolving loans and letters of credit up to an aggregate amount of $145.0 million (with a limit on letters of credit of $40.0 million), with an accordion feature provision allowing for the aggregate amount available under the credit facility to be increased up to $175.0 million upon the satisfaction of certain conditions specified in the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility. Availability under the credit facility is subject to a borrowing base calculated by reference to the company’s receivables. At March 31, 2023, the company had no borrowings and $6.6 million of letters of credit outstanding, and availability under the facility was $64.0 million net of letters of credit issued.
The Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility is subject to a springing maturity, under which the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility will immediately mature 91 days prior to any date on which contributions to pension funds in the United States in an amount in excess of $100.0 million are required to be paid unless the company is able to meet certain conditions, including that the company has the liquidity (as defined in the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility) to cash settle the amount of such pension payments, no default or event of default has occurred under the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility, the company’s liquidity is above $130.0 million and the company is in compliance with the then applicable fixed charge coverage ratio on a pro forma basis.
The Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility is guaranteed by the subsidiary guarantors and any future material domestic subsidiaries. The facility is secured by the assets of the company and the subsidiary guarantors, other than certain excluded assets, under a security agreement entered into by the company and the subsidiary guarantors in favor of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as agent for the lenders under the credit facility.
The company is required to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio if the availability under the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility falls below the greater of 10% of the lenders’ commitments under the facility and $14.5 million.
16
The Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties, including, but not limited to, that there has been no material adverse change in the company’s business, properties, operations or financial condition. The Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility includes restrictions on the ability of the company and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur other debt or liens, dispose of assets and make acquisitions, loans and investments, repurchase its equity, and prepay other debt. These restrictions are subject to several important limitations and exceptions. 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 $50.0 million, subject to relevant cure periods, as applicable.
At March 31, 2023, the company has met all covenants and conditions under its various lending and funding agreements. For at least the next 12 months, the company expects to continue to meet these covenants and conditions.
Note 13 - Litigation and Contingencies
The company is involved in a wide range of lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings, 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 matters. Further, given the rapidly evolving external landscape of cybersecurity, privacy and data protection laws, regulations and threat actors, the company and its clients have been and will continue to be subject to actions or proceedings in various jurisdictions. These matters can involve a number of different parties, including competitors, clients, current or former employees, government and regulatory agencies, stockholders and representatives of the locations in which the company does business.
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. Significant judgment is required in both the determination of probability and the determination as to whether an exposure is reasonably estimable. Because of uncertainties related to these matters, accruals are based only on the best information available at the time. 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. These adjustments could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position.
The company intends to defend itself vigorously with respect to legal matters pending against it. Based on its experience, the company also believes that the damage amounts claimed in the matters disclosed below are not a meaningful indicator of the company’s potential liability.
Litigation is inherently unpredictable and unfavorable resolutions could occur. Whether any losses, damages or remedies finally determined in any claim, suit, investigation or proceeding could reasonably have a material effect on the company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows will depend on a number of variables, including: the timing and amount of such losses or damages; the structure and type of any such remedies; the significance of the impact any such losses, damages or remedies may have in the company’s consolidated financial statements; and the unique facts and circumstances of the particular matter that may give rise to additional factors. Accordingly, it is possible that an adverse outcome from such matters could be material to the company’s 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 March 31, 2023, it has adequate provisions for any such matters.
The following is a summary of the more significant legal matters involving the company.
The company’s 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. The company believes that appropriate accruals have been established for such matters based on information currently available. At March 31, 2023, 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 $111 million.
On November 11, 2022, a purported stockholder of the company filed a putative securities class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against the company and certain of its current officers, alleging violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, based on allegedly false or misleading statements related to projections and certain other statements positively characterizing the company’s momentum, business, prospects and operations, and the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting and the company’s disclosure controls and procedures. The plaintiff seeks an award of compensatory damages, among other relief, and costs and attorneys’ and experts’ fees.
17
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 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.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This discussion and analysis of the company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this quarterly report. In this discussion and analysis of the company’s financial condition and results of operations, the company has included information that may constitute “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 company’s actual results to differ materially from expectations. Factors that could affect future results include, but are not limited to, those discussed under “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A. 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.
Overview
In March 2023, the company purchased a group annuity contract, with plan assets, for approximately $265 million to transfer projected benefit obligations related to approximately 8,650 retirees of one of the company’s U.S. defined benefit pension plans resulting in a pre-tax settlement loss of $183.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the company reported net loss attributable to Unisys Corporation of $175.4 million, or $2.58 per diluted share, compared with a loss of $57.3 million, or $0.85 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Included in the loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was the U.S. pension settlement loss of $183.2 million described above.
Results of operations
Company results
Three months ended March 31, 2023 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2022
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $516.4 million compared with $446.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of 15.6% from the prior year. The increase was primarily due to higher software license renewals within the Enterprise Computing Solutions segment. Foreign currency fluctuations had a 3 percentage-point negative impact on revenue in the current period compared with the year-ago period.
U.S. revenue increased 1.0% in the current period compared with the year-ago period. International revenue increased 27.3% in the current period compared with the prior-year period, principally due to increases in Europe and Latin America. Foreign currency had a 7 percentage-point negative impact on international revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2022.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the company recognized net charges related to workforce reductions of $0.7 million, principally related to severance costs. These net charges were comprised of: (a) a charge of $2.6 million and (b) a credit of $1.9 million for changes in estimates. In addition, the company recorded a credit of $3.5 million for net foreign currency gains related to exiting foreign countries.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the company recognized net cost-reduction charges and other costs of $3.0 million. The credit related to workforce reductions was $0.6 million for changes in estimates. In addition, the company recorded net charges of $3.6 million comprised of a charge of $1.1 million for net foreign currency losses related to exiting foreign countries, a charge of $3.8 million for asset impairments and a credit of $1.3 million for changes in estimates related to other cost-reduction efforts.

Gross profit and gross profit margin were $159.0 million and 30.8% in the three months ended March 31, 2023, respectively, compared with $87.4 million and 19.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, respectively. The increase was principally due to higher software license renewals.
Selling, general and administrative expense in the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $102.9 million (19.9% of revenue) compared with $104.4 million (23.4% of revenue) for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Research and development (R&D) expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $6.2 million and $6.5 million, respectively.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the company reported an operating profit of $49.9 million compared with an operating loss of $23.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily driven by higher revenue and gross profit.
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $7.6 million and $8.4 million, respectively.
Other (expense), net was expense of $196.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared with expense of $21.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Other (expense), net for the three months ended March 31, 2023 included $183.2 million of a U.S. pension settlement loss. See Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for details of other (expense), net.
The loss before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $154.6 million compared with a loss of $52.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Included in the loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was a U.S. pension settlement loss of $183.2 million.
The provision for income taxes was $19.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared with a provision of $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The change in the tax provision is a result of the geographic distribution of income as described below.
The company evaluates quarterly the realizability of its deferred tax assets by assessing its valuation allowance and by adjusting such amount, if necessary. The company records a tax provision or benefit for those international subsidiaries that do not have a full valuation allowance against their deferred tax assets. Any profit or loss recorded for the company’s U.S. operations will have no provision or benefit associated with it due to the company’s valuation allowance, except with respect to refundable tax credits and withholding taxes not creditable against future taxable income. As a result, the company’s provision or benefit for taxes may vary significantly period to period depending on the geographic distribution of income.
The realization of the company’s net deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2023 is primarily dependent on the ability to generate sustained taxable income in various jurisdictions. Judgment is required to estimate forecasted future taxable income, which may be impacted by future business developments, actual results, strategic operational and tax initiatives, legislative, and other economic factors and developments. Any increase or decrease in the valuation allowance would result in additional or lower income tax expense in that period and could have a significant impact on that period’s earnings.
Net loss attributable to Unisys Corporation for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $175.4 million, or $2.58 per diluted share, compared with a loss of $57.3 million, or $0.85 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Included in the loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was a U.S. pension settlement loss of $183.2 million.

DWS revenue was $131.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of 5.0% compared with the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in revenue was primarily due to recent contract signings. Foreign currency fluctuations had a 3 percentage-point negative impact on DWS revenue in the current period compared with the prior-year period. Gross profit percent was 11.9% in the current period compared with 12.8% in the prior-year period. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to incremental labor costs in support of recent contract signings.
CA&I revenue was $126.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, a decline of 2.4% compared with the three months ended March 31, 2022. Foreign currency fluctuations had a 1 percentage-point negative impact on CA&I revenue in the current period compared with the prior-year period. Gross profit percent was 13.0% in the current period compared with 5.4% in the prior-year period. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to additional cost incurred in the prior-year period associated with certain contracts as well as delivery improvements.
ECS revenue was $188.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of 56.1% compared with the three months ended March 31, 2022. Foreign currency fluctuations had a 4 percentage-point negative impact on ECS revenue in the current period compared with the prior-year period. Gross profit percent was 66.7% in the current period compared with 52.1% in the prior-year period. The increase in revenue and gross profit was driven by higher software license renewals.
Financial condition
The company’s 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 cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.
Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2023 were $391.9 million compared to $391.8 million at December 31, 2022.
As of March 31, 2023, $248.9 million of cash and cash equivalents were held by the company’s foreign subsidiaries and branches operating outside of the U.S. The company may not be able to readily transfer approximately one-third of these funds out of the country in which they are located as a result of local restrictions, contractual or other legal arrangements or commercial considerations. Additionally, any transfers of these funds to the U.S. in the future may require the company to accrue or pay withholding or other taxes on a portion of the amount transferred.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, cash provided by operations was $12.8 million compared to cash usage of $33.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily driven by higher Technology collections.
Cash used for investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $11.5 million compared to cash usage of $21.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Net proceeds of investments were $9.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared with net purchases of $2.3 million in the prior-year period. Proceeds from investments and purchases of investments represent derivative financial instruments used to reduce the company’s currency exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. In the current period, the investment in marketable software was
23
$10.3 million compared with $11.1 million in the prior-year period, capital additions of properties were $7.3 million compared with $5.2 million in the prior-year period and capital additions of outsourcing assets were $2.7 million compared with $2.4 million in the prior-year period.
Cash used for financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $7.6 million compared to cash used of $11.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
In March 2023, the company purchased a group annuity contract, with plan assets, for approximately $265 million to transfer projected benefit obligations related to approximately 8,650 retirees of one of the company’s U.S. defined benefit pension plans resulting in a pre-tax settlement loss of $183.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. After considering this most recent group annuity contract purchase, the company has successfully reduced its global defined benefit pension obligations since December 2020 by $1.7 billion, including $1.0 billion in the U.S. The company will continue to evaluate opportunities for additional reductions in future periods depending on overall market conditions.
In 2023, the company expects to make cash contributions of approximately $40 million primarily for its international defined benefit pension plans. In 2022, the company made cash contributions of $39.3 million to its worldwide defined benefit pension plans. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the company made cash contributions of $14.5 million and $15.1 million, respectively.
At the end of each year, the company estimates its future cash contributions to its U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans based on year-end pension data and assumptions. Any material deterioration in the value of the company’s U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan assets, as well as changes in pension legislation, discount rate changes, asset return changes, or changes in economic or demographic trends, could require the company to make cash contributions to its U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans in different amounts and on a different schedule than previously contemplated. Based upon our most current estimates as of March 31, 2023, the company does not expect to make mandatory cash contributions to its U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plans until 2025.
At March 31, 2023, total debt was $506.1 million compared to $513.1 million at December 31, 2022.
The company has a secured revolving credit facility (the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility) that expires on October 29, 2025 that provides for revolving loans and letters of credit up to an aggregate amount of $145.0 million (with a limit on letters of credit of $40.0 million), with an accordion feature provision allowing for the aggregate amount available under the credit facility to be increased up to $175.0 million upon the satisfaction of certain conditions specified in the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility. Availability under the credit facility is subject to a borrowing base calculated by reference to the company’s receivables. At March 31, 2023, the company had no borrowings and $6.6 million of letters of credit outstanding, and availability under the facility was $64.0 million net of letters of credit issued.
The Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility is subject to a springing maturity, under which the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility will immediately mature 91 days prior to any date on which contributions to pension funds in the United States in an amount in excess of $100.0 million are required to be paid unless the company is able to meet certain conditions, including that the company has the liquidity (as defined in the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility) to cash settle the amount of such pension payments, no default or event of default has occurred under the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility, the company’s liquidity is above $130.0 million and the company is in compliance with the then applicable fixed charge coverage ratio on a pro forma basis.
The Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility is guaranteed by Unisys Holding Corporation, Unisys NPL, Inc. and Unisys AP Investment Company I, each of which is a U.S. corporation that is directly or indirectly owned by the company (the subsidiary guarantors). The facility is secured by the assets of the company and the subsidiary guarantors, other than certain excluded assets, under a security agreement entered into by the company and the subsidiary guarantors in favor of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as agent for the lenders under the credit facility.
The company is required to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio if the availability under the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility falls below the greater of 10% of the lenders’ commitments under the facility and $14.5 million.
The Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties, including, but not limited to, that there has been no material adverse change in the company’s business, properties, operations or financial condition. The Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility includes restrictions on the ability of the company and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur other debt or liens, dispose of assets and make acquisitions, loans and investments, repurchase its equity, and prepay other debt. These restrictions are subject to several important limitations and exceptions. 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 $50.0 million, subject to relevant cure periods, as applicable.
At March 31, 2023, the company has met all covenants and conditions under its various lending and funding agreements. For at least the next 12 months, the company expects to continue to meet these covenants and conditions.
24
From time to time, the company may explore a variety of additional debt and equity sources to fund its liquidity and capital needs.
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.
The company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are material or reasonably likely to become material to its financial condition or results of operations.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There has been no material change in the company’s assessment of its sensitivity to market risk since its disclosure in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, management performed, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), an evaluation of the effectiveness of the company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act). In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and the CFO concluded that due to material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures and in our internal control over financial reporting, the company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2023 at the reasonable assurance level. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
As previously reported in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 in connection with the company’s assessment of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting at the end of its last fiscal year, management identified the following material weaknesses in the company’s disclosure controls and procedures and in the company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 and is in the process of remediating them as of March 31, 2023.
The company did not design and maintain effective formal policies and procedures to ensure appropriate information is communicated from the IT function and the legal and compliance function to the accounting function and those responsible for governance on a timely basis to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These material weaknesses did not result in a misstatement of the company’s financial statements; however, they could have resulted in misstatements of interim or annual consolidated financial statements and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement that would not be prevented or detected.
This section of Item 4, “Controls and Procedures,” should be read in conjunction with Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures,” included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, for additional information on Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
To address the material weaknesses referenced above, the company performed additional analysis and performed other procedures in order to prepare the unaudited quarterly consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Remediation Plan for Material Weaknesses
Management has implemented measures designed to ensure that the material weaknesses are remediated. The company took the following remediation steps during the fourth quarter of 2022:
•The company enhanced its written policy regarding information escalation for cyber-incidents. In addition, the company completed an assessment of staffing within the company’s incident response team.
•The company enhanced its disclosure committee (the Disclosure Committee) and the disclosure working group that supports the Disclosure Committee.
25
•The company is requiring all direct reports to the CEO to confirm that they have made the Disclosure Committee aware of any matters under their purview that the Disclosure Committee should be considering in advance of applicable SEC filings.
•The company provided training and policies (including any policy revisions) to non-finance executives regarding escalation of significant matters related to SEC reporting requirements.
•Procedures were drafted to address the proper handling of information so that the Security and Risk Committee and Audit and Finance Committee are properly informed.
•Management has revised its Speak Up Policy to make all associates aware that they have direct access to, and may approach, company executives and the Board of Directors, and that they have access to the company’s whistleblower hotline.
As of March 31, 2023, management has implemented all remedial actions described above in respect to the material weaknesses relating to policies and procedures within the IT function and the legal and compliance function to the accounting function. Due to the timing of the design and implementation of these remediation efforts implemented during the fourth quarter of 2022, there has been insufficient time for the company to demonstrate consistent execution against all newly implemented actions. As such, management is unable to conclude on the operating effectiveness of implemented remediations at March 31, 2023. We expect to continue to enhance these controls and assess their operating effectiveness throughout 2023.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Except as described above with respect to our remediation plan, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
