PART I

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General

Unisys Corporation is a worldwide information technology (“IT”) company. We provide a portfolio of IT services, software, and technology that solves critical problems for clients. We specialize in helping clients secure their operations, increase the efficiency and utilization of their data centers, enhance support to their end users and constituents, and modernize their enterprise applications. To provide these services and solutions, the company brings together offerings and capabilities in outsourcing services, systems integration and consulting services, infrastructure services, maintenance services, and high-end server technology. Unisys serves commercial organizations and government agencies throughout the world.

We operate in two business segments – Services and Technology. Financial information concerning the two segments can be found in Note 16, “Segment information”, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in our annual report to stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2008 (the “Unisys 2008 Annual Report to Stockholders”), and such information is incorporated herein by reference.

Principal Products and Services

Unisys brings together services and technology into solutions that solve critical problems for organizations around the world.

In the Services segment, we design, build, and manage IT systems and provide services that help our clients improve their competitiveness, security, and cost-efficiency. Our services include outsourcing, systems integration and consulting, infrastructure services and core maintenance.

 

   

In outsourcing, we manage a customer’s data centers and end-user environments as well as specific business processes, such as check processing, insurance claims processing, health claims processing, mortgage administration, citizen registry and cargo management.

 

   

In systems integration and consulting, we design and develop innovative solutions for specific industries – such as check processing systems, public welfare systems, airline reservations and communications messaging solutions.

 

   

In infrastructure services, we design and support customers’ IT infrastructure, including their networks, desktops, servers, and mobile and wireless systems.

 

   

In core maintenance, we provide maintenance of Unisys proprietary products.

In the Technology segment, we design and develop servers and related services and products that help clients modernize their data center environments to reduce costs and improve efficiency. As a pioneer in large-scale computing, Unisys offers deep experience and rich technological capabilities in transaction-intensive, mission-critical environments. We provide a range of infrastructure management offerings to help clients virtualize and automate their data-center environments. Product offerings include enterprise-class servers based on our Cellular MultiProcessing architecture, such as the ClearPath family of servers and the ES7000 family of Intel-based servers, as well as operating system software and middleware. We also provide specialized technologies such as payment systems and third-party technology products.

To drive future growth, Unisys is focusing its resources and investments in four targeted, high-potential market areas: security (including IT security and physical security); data center transformation and outsourcing services; end-user outsourcing and support services; and applications modernization and outsourcing services.


The primary vertical markets Unisys serves worldwide include the public sector (including the U.S. federal government), financial services and other commercial markets including communications and transportation.

We market our products and services primarily through a direct sales force. In certain foreign countries, we market primarily through distributors. Complementing our direct sales force, we make use of a select group of alliance partners to market and complement our services and product portfolio.

Materials

Unisys purchases components and supplies from a number of suppliers around the world. For certain technology products, we rely on a single or limited number of suppliers, although we make every effort to assure that alternative sources are available if the need arises. The failure of our suppliers to deliver components and supplies in sufficient quantities and in a timely manner could adversely affect our business.

Patents, Trademarks and Licenses

Unisys owns over 1,500 active U.S. patents and over 300 active patents granted in 19 non-U.S. jurisdictions. These patents cover systems and methods related to a wide variety of technologies, including, but not limited to computing systems, relational database management, information storage, device/circuit manufacture and design, imaging, data compression and document recognition/handling. We have granted licenses covering both single patents, and particular groups of patents to others. Likewise, we have active licensing agreements granting us rights under patents owned by other entities. However, our business is not materially dependent upon any single patent, patent license, or related group thereof.

Unisys also maintains over 60 U.S. trademark and service mark registrations, and over 1,600 additional trademark and service mark registrations in over 120 non-U.S. jurisdictions. These marks are valuable assets used on or in connection with our products and services, and as such are actively monitored, policed and protected by Unisys and its agents.

Seasonality

Our revenue is affected by such factors as the introduction of new products and services, the length of sales cycles and the seasonality of purchases.

Customers

No single customer accounts for more than 10% of our revenue. Sales of commercial products and services to various agencies of the U.S. government represented 17% of total consolidated revenue in 2008. For more information on the risks associated with contracting with governmental entities, see “Factors that may affect future results” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Unisys 2008 Annual Report to Stockholders which is incorporated herein by reference.

Backlog

In the Services segment, firm order backlog at December 31, 2008 was $6.1 billion, compared to $6.9 billion at December 31, 2007. Approximately $2.8 billion (47%) of 2008 backlog is expected to be filled in 2009. Although we believe that this backlog is firm, we may, for commercial reasons, allow the orders to be cancelled, with or without penalty. In addition, funded government contracts included in this backlog are generally subject to termination, in whole or part, at the convenience of the government or if funding becomes unavailable. In such cases, we are generally entitled to receive payment for work completed plus allowable termination or cancellation costs.

 

2


Because of the relatively short cycle between order and shipment in our Technology segment, we believe that backlog information for this segment is not material to the understanding of our business.

Competition

Our business is affected by rapid change in technology in the information services and technology industries and aggressive competition from many domestic and foreign companies. Principal competitors are systems integrators, consulting and other professional services firms, outsourcing providers, infrastructure services providers, computer hardware manufacturers and software providers. Our outsourcing services also compete directly with in-house operations in industry and government. We compete primarily on the basis of service, product performance, technological innovation, and price. We believe that our continued focused investment in engineering and research and development, coupled with our sales and marketing capabilities, will have a favorable impact on our competitive position. For more information on the competitive risks we face, see “Factors that may affect future results” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Unisys 2008 Annual Report to Stockholders which is incorporated herein by reference.

Research and Development

Unisys-sponsored research and development costs were $129.0 million in 2008, $179.0 million in 2007, and $231.7 million in 2006.

Environmental Matters

Our capital expenditures, earnings and the competitive position have not been materially affected by compliance with federal, state and local laws regulating the protection of the environment. Capital expenditures for environmental control facilities are not expected to be material in 2009 and 2010.

Employees

At December 31, 2008, we employed approximately 29,000 people worldwide.

We use the title “partner” for certain members of our services business management. In using the term “partner” or “partners,” we do not mean to imply that these individuals are partners in the legal sense or to imply any intention to create a separate legal entity, such as a partnership.

International and Domestic Operations

Financial information by geographic area is set forth in Note 16, “Segment information”, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in the Unisys 2008 Annual Report to Stockholders, and such information is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Annual 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, as of December 31, 2008, the company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The management of the company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, we concluded that the company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on the specified criteria.

KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, as stated in their attestation report that appears in the Unisys 2008 Annual Report to Stockholders, and such report is incorporated herein by reference.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2007, we reported a material weakness in the company’s internal control over financial reporting related to its control environment because it did not have a sufficient number of personnel with an appropriate level of U.S. GAAP knowledge and experience commensurate with its financial reporting requirements. Throughout fiscal year 2008, we implemented the following measures which resulted in the remediation of this material weakness during the quarter ended December 31, 2008:

 

8


   

The Company hired additional personnel and utilized third party resources with an appropriate level of U.S. GAAP tax knowledge and experience to its income tax accounting function and required the completion of income tax accounting training by personnel responsible for its foreign subsidiaries,

 

   

The Company strengthened its worldwide accounting capabilities by adding personnel with an appropriate level of U.S. GAAP accounting knowledge and experience in two locations,

 

   

The Company implemented appropriately designed processes and controls, instituted multi-level management reviews to ensure compliance with U.S. GAAP and such processes and controls have been tested and are determined to be properly designed and operating effectively,

 

   

The Company performed a review of its existing resources, including a competency assessment, for the finance organization and completed the action plans identified related to hiring and realignment, including the hiring of a new corporate controller and reassignment of responsibilities among key accounting personnel, and

 

   

Management developed and implemented certain mandatory U.S. GAAP training for finance personnel.
