Third-quarter 2010 net income from continuing operations was $21.8 million, or 50 cents per diluted share, compared with $52.4 million, or $1.27 per diluted share, in the year-ago period. Operating results of the company's divested UK-based Unisys Insurance Services Limited (UISL) business and health information management business are being reported as discontinued operations. Revenue in the third quarter of 2010 declined 13 percent (2 percentage points was attributable to divested businesses) to $961 million compared with $1.11 billion in the year-ago quarter. Foreign currency fluctuations had a one percentage-point negative impact on revenue in the quarter. U.S. revenue declined 15 percent to $438 million while revenue from international markets declined 12 percent (10 percent in constant currency) to $523 million. "We made further progress on many fronts in the quarter as we continue to reshape the Unisys business model," said Unisys Chairman and CEO Ed Coleman. "We achieved a services operating profit margin of 8 percent - an important milestone that put us in our targeted 8 to 10 percent margin range. We also grew revenue slightly in our IT outsourcing business. Operating expenses and cash flow improved significantly, reflecting improved efficiencies across the business. "After three straight quarters of strong growth, sales of our ClearPath servers declined, impacting our net income comparisons against a strong third quarter a year ago. To drive profitable growth, we continue to enhance our portfolio with innovative solutions, including new enterprise virtualization capabilities announced last week for our ClearPath server family. Our more competitive portfolio positions us to capitalize on emerging growth markets in our areas of strength." OVERALL MARGINS Unisys reported a third-quarter gross profit margin of 24.7 percent, down from 26.9 percent a year ago, driven by lower sales of ClearPath enterprise servers in the quarter. Operating expenses (selling, general and administrative expenses plus research and development) declined 13 percent in the quarter compared to the year-ago quarter. Despite the expense reduction, third-quarter operating profit margin declined to 7.9 percent, down from 10.1 percent a year ago, reflecting the lower ClearPath sales in the current quarter. THIRD-QUARTER BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS Customer revenue in the company's services segment declined 10 percent (2 percentage points was attributable to divested businesses) compared with the year-ago quarter. Reflecting improved cost efficiencies in services delivery, services gross profit margin increased to 20.6 percent compared with 19.9 percent a year ago, while services operating margin increased to 8.0 percent compared with 7.5 percent a year ago. Services backlog at September 30, 2010 was $5.8 billion, flat from September 30, 2009 and up from $5.5 billion of services backlog at June 30, 2010. The increase from June 30, 2010 is primarily attributable to currency exchange rate movements. Services orders showed double-digit declines from year-ago levels, which included a significant business process outsourcing contract renewal. Customer revenue in the company's technology segment declined 31 percent from the third quarter of 2009, driven by lower sales of ClearPath servers. Reflecting the lower volume of ClearPath sales, the company reported a technology gross profit margin of 47.6 percent and an operating profit margin of 7.9 percent in the quarter, down from a gross profit margin of 55.2 percent and operating margin of 21.2 percent in the year-ago quarter. Unisys recently introduced more powerful models to its ClearPath server family as well as new secure partitioning (sPar) virtualization technology that enables ClearPath users to improve the efficiency of their data center environments. CASH FLOW AND BALANCE SHEET HIGHLIGHTS Unisys generated $127 million of cash from operations in the third quarter of 2010 compared with $94 million of cash from operations in the third quarter of 2009. Capital expenditures in the third quarter of 2010 were $46 million compared with $48 million in the year-ago quarter. The company generated $81 million of free cash flow (cash from operations less capital expenditures) in the third quarter of 2010 compared with free cash flow of $46 million in the third quarter of 2009. At September 30, 2010, Unisys reported $689 million of cash on hand, up from $497 million at June 30, 2010. During the quarter the company completed the sale of its U.K.-based Unisys Insurance Services Limited (UISL). Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

CONSTANT CURRENCY The company refers to revenue growth rates at constant currency or adjusting for currency so that the business results can be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates to facilitate comparisons of the company's business performance from one period to another. Constant currency for revenue is calculated by retranslating current and prior period results at a consistent rate. This approach is based on the pricing currency for each country which is typically the functional currency. Generally, when the dollar either strengthens or weakens against other currencies, the growth at constant currency rates or adjusting for currency will be higher or lower than growth reported at actual exchange rates.
