Summary of First Quarter 2016 Business Results
Company:
Revenue of $667 million declined 8 percent year-over-year; down 3 percent in constant currency. Overall operating profit margin of (4.1) percent includes cost reduction charges and pension expense. First quarter 2016 non-GAAP operating profit margin was 2.9 percent, an increase of 320 basis points from the prior year.Services:
Services revenue, which represented 89 percent of total revenue, declined by 7 percent, down 2 percent in constant currency. Services operating profit margin was 0.7 percent, an increase of 200 basis points from the prior year, reflecting the benefit of cost reduction actions taken during the past twelve months.Technology:
Technology revenue, which represented 11 percent of total revenue, declined 13 percent, down 10 percent in constant currency, reflecting reduced ClearPath Forward™ revenue, which can vary significantly from quarter-to-quarter based on the timing of license renewals. Operating profit margin improved to 18.1 percent from 5.2 percent in the prior year due to the benefit of operating cost reductions.Cash Flow:
First quarter 2016 free cash flow usage of $12 million improved $89 million year-over-year due to higher operating cash flow and lower capital expenditures. Adjusted free cash flow in first quarter 2016 increased $100 million to $38 million from the prior year. During the first quarter 2016, the company completed a convertible senior notes offering that generated net proceeds of approximately $160 million. At March 31, 2016, the company had $514 million in cash.Executing on Business Strategy
Unisys business strategy, laid out in 2015, is to execute on several key areas for improved business performance in 2016: go-to-market vertical market orientation; security solutions, most notably Unisys Stealth™; and higher-value, advisory consulting services. The company has announced business wins, strategic moves and implementation successes covering each of these areas, including in the past week:
The global delivery of Unisys Stealth(cloud)™ on the Microsoft Azure Cloud, a platform used by more than 66 percent of Fortune 500 companies in 140 countries. The successful implementation of Stealth(core) to protect ANGKASA's self-service banking kiosks in Malaysia. A new agreement to deliver Stealth(mobile) to Mitel clients. Mitel is a new Unisys client that will use Stealth to protect its systems, data and intellectual property and leverage Stealth to protect users across its global network. A contract with the State of Washington, Division of Child Support, Department of Social & Health Services to deliver managed data center services and ClearPath Forward services. A contract with China's HubSky, a new Unisys client, to deliver cloud/data center design and consulting services.In addition, the company made three major leadership announcements in Q1:
Inder M. Singh as senior vice president and chief marketing and strategy officer. Immediately prior to joining Unisys, Singh was a managing director at SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc., where he provided equity research and advice across the technology, media and telecommunications sectors. Singh has also held strategy and financial leadership positions at Comcast, Cisco Systems, and AT&T. Andy Stafford as senior vice president of Services. Most recently, Stafford was a senior managing director at Accenture, where he led the firm's Global Delivery Network for Technology. Prior to Accenture, Stafford held senior positions with Xchanging, Virgin Group, Deloitte Consulting, Computacenter and Andersen Consulting. Eric Crabtree as the global leader of our Financial Services vertical industry group. Crabtree most recently served as managing director of omni-channel banking at Royal Bank of Scotland. He previously held senior executive leadership positions at Barclays Bank and Washington Mutual, and founded an advisory and consulting firm focused on the financial services industry.Conference Call
Unisys will hold a conference call today at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss its results. The listen-only Webcast, as well as the accompanying presentation materials, can be accessed on the Unisys Investor Web site at www.unisys.com/investor. Following the call, an audio replay of the Webcast, and accompanying presentation materials, can be accessed through the same link.
Non-GAAP Information
Unisys reports its results in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in the United States. However, in an effort to provide investors with additional perspective regarding the company's results as determined by GAAP, the company also discusses, in its earnings press release and/or earnings presentation materials, non-GAAP information which management believes provides useful information to investors. Management uses supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate the business and assess operational alternatives.
Non-GAAP measures are not intended to be considered in isolation or as substitutes for results determined in accordance with GAAP and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. (See GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations attached.)
(1) Constant currency – The company refers to growth rates in constant currency or on a constant currency basis so that the business results can be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates to facilitate comparisons of the company's business performance from one period to another. Constant currency is calculated by retranslating current and prior period results at a consistent rate.
(2) Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share – During the first quarter 2016, Unisys recorded pension expense, net of tax, and a charge, net of tax, in connection with cost reduction actions. In an effort to provide investors with a perspective on the company's earnings without these charges, they are excluded from the non-GAAP diluted earnings/loss per share calculations.
(3) Adjusted free cash flow – Adjusted free cash flow provides free cash flow before the company's pension contributions or cost reduction payments in an effort to provide investors with a perspective on the company's free cash flow generation before these items.
(4) Non-GAAP operating profit – During the first quarter 2016, Unisys recorded pretax pension expense and a pretax charge in connection with cost reduction actions. In order to provide investors with additional understanding of the company's operating results, these changes are excluded from the operating profit.
(5) Free cash flow – The company defines free cash flow as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures. Management believes this measure gives investors an additional perspective on cash flow from operating activities in excess of amounts required for reinvestment.
