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 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 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 company’s accounting policies are set forth in detail in note 1 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such Annual Report also contains a discussion of the company’s critical accounting policies. The company believes that these critical accounting policies affect its more significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of the company’s consolidated financial statements. There have been no changes in the company’s critical accounting policies from those disclosed in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, 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): 3,319 and 3,318, respectively. In the nine months ended September 30, 2014, 585 (in thousands) of weighted-average mandatory convertible preferred stock were antidilutive and therefore excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share.

b. Cost reduction actions. In April 2015, in connection with organizational initiatives to create a more competitive cost structure and rebalance the company’s global skill set, the company announced a plan to recognize a pretax restructuring charge estimated at approximately $300 million over the next several quarters.

During the three months ended September 30, 2015, the company recognized pretax charges of $17.4 million in connection with this plan. The charges related to work-force reductions were $9.8 million, principally related to severance costs, and were comprised of: (a) a charge of $2.7 million for 176 employees in the U.S. and (b) a charge of $7.1 million for 114 employees outside the U.S. In addition, the company recorded pretax charges of $7.6 million for other expenses related to the cost reduction effort.

The pretax charges were recorded in the following statement of income classifications: cost of revenue – services, $7.9 million; cost of revenue – technology, $.1 million; selling, general and administrative expenses, $8.6 million; and research and development expenses, $.8 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the company recognized pretax charges of $70.0 million in connection with this plan, principally related to a reduction in employees. The charges related to work-force reductions were $52.3 million, principally related to severance costs, and were comprised of: (a) a charge of $28.1 million for 706 employees in the U.S. and (b) a charge of $24.2 million for 527 employees outside the U.S. In addition, the company recorded pretax charges of $17.7 million, related to asset impairments and other expenses related to the cost reduction effort.

The pretax charges were recorded in the following statement of income classifications: cost of revenue – services, $21.2 million; cost of revenue – technology, $.2 million; selling, general and administrative expenses, $36.1 million; and research and development expenses, $12.5 million.

In 2015, the company estimates that it will make cash contributions of approximately $151 million to its worldwide defined benefit pension plans, which is comprised of $59 million for the company’s U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan and $92 million primarily for non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans. In 2014, the company made cash contributions of $183.4 million to its worldwide defined benefit pension plans. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, $115.6 million and $161.3 million, respectively, of cash contributions have been made.

Net periodic postretirement benefit expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 is presented below (in millions of dollars):

The company expects to make cash contributions of approximately $16 million to its postretirement benefit plan in 2015 compared with $15.3 million in 2014. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, $10.8 million and $10.4 million, respectively, of cash contributions have been made.

d. 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

 

8


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 September 30, 2015 and 2014, the notional amount of these contracts was $409.3 million and $421.1 million, respectively. At September 30, 2015 and 2014, the fair value of such contracts was a net loss of $.8 million and a net gain of $1.5 million, respectively, of which $.6 million and $2.6 million, respectively, has been recognized in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and $1.4 and $1.1 million, respectively, has been recognized in “Other accrued liabilities” in the company’s consolidated balance sheet. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, changes in the fair value of these instruments was a gain of $13.7 million and a gain of $15.9 million, respectively, which has been recognized in earnings in “Other income (expense), net” in the company’s 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, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 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 $8 million and $9 million, respectively.

e. 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, 2015, 2.2 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:

 

     Nine Months Ended Sept. 30  
     2015     2014

Expected life of options in years

     4.92        3.71   

Expected dividend yield

     —          —     

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 2.0 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, 2015 and 2014, the company recorded $7.9 million and $10.6 million of share-based compensation expense, respectively, which is comprised of $3.8 million and $4.2 million of restricted stock unit expense and $4.1 million and $6.4 million of stock option expense, respectively.

The aggregate intrinsic value represents the total pretax value of the difference between the company’s 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, 2015. The intrinsic value of the company’s stock options changes based on the closing price of the company’s stock. The total intrinsic value of options exercised for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $.6 million and $4.6 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2015, $5.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years.

The fair value of restricted stock units is determined based on the trading price of the company’s 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, 2015 and 2014 was $10.1 million and $12.7 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2015, there was $6.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding restricted stock units granted under the company’s plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years. The aggregate weighted-average grant-date fair value of restricted stock units vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $1.9 million and $2.7 million, respectively.

Common stock issued upon exercise of stock options or upon lapse of restrictions on restricted stock units are newly issued shares. Cash received from the exercise of stock options for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $3.7 million and $3.3 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.

f. Segment Information. Effective January 1, 2015, the company changed the grouping of certain of its classes of products and services. As a result, certain revenue (principally company technology products) previously reported in

 

10


the company’s Services segment is now reported in its Technology segment. As a result, prior-periods segment revenue and cost of sales, as well as customer revenue by classes of similar products and services, have been reclassified to conform to the current-year period.

The company has two business segments: Services and Technology. Revenue classifications within the Services segment are as follows:

 

    Cloud & infrastructure services. This represents revenue from work the company performs in the data center and cloud area, technology consulting and technology-based systems integration projects, as well as global service desks and global field services.

 

    Application services. This represents revenue from application managed services and application development, maintenance and support work.

 

    Business processing outsourcing services. This represents revenue from the management of clients’ specific business processes.

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 company’s Services channels. In the company’s 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 segment’s 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, 2015 and 2014 was $1.6 million and zero, respectively. The amount for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $9.1 million and $.4 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.

A summary of the company’s operations by business segment for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 is presented below (in millions of dollars):

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

 

13


damage amounts claimed in the lawsuits disclosed below are not a meaningful indicator of the company’s potential liability. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, however, and it is possible that the company’s 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.

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 State’s termination of the contract was unjustified.

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 matters. The company believes that appropriate accruals have been established for such matters based on information currently available. At September 30, 2015, 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 $92 million.

The company has been involved in a matter 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 state of Idaho, for administering Medicaid programs. 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 company’s 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. The company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On September 2, 2014, the District Court granted the company’s motion to dismiss the negligent misrepresentation claim, but denied the company’s motion with respect to Molina’s intentional misrepresentation and breach of contract claims. The litigation continues on the remaining claims.

On June 26, 2014, the State of Louisiana filed a Petition for Damages against, among other defendants, the company and Molina Information Systems, LLC, in the Parish of East Baton Rouge, 19th Judicial District. The State alleges that between 1989 and 2012 the defendants, each acting successively as the State’s Medicaid fiscal intermediary, utilized an incorrect reimbursement formula for the payment of pharmaceutical claims causing the State to pay excessive amounts for prescription drugs. The company believes that it has valid defenses to Louisiana’s claims and is asserting them in the pending litigation.

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.

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 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 September 30, 2015, 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 company’s 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 company’s U.S. continuing 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 company’s provision or benefit for taxes may vary significantly depending on the geographic distribution of income.

k. Foreign Currency Translation. In January of 2014, the Venezuelan government announced that the exchange rate to be applied to the settlement of certain transactions, including foreign investments and royalties would be changed to the SICAD I auction rate. As a result, the company changed the exchange rate used to remeasure its Venezuelan subsidiary’s financial statements in U.S. dollars from the official rate of 6.3 bolivars to the SICAD I rate.

As the company believes that the SIMADI rate is now more representative of what it might expect to receive in a dividend transaction, the company switched to using the SIMADI rate effective as of September 30, 2015. At that date the SIMADI exchange rate was approximately 198.45 bolivars to the U.S. dollar. As a result of the change in rate, the company recorded a foreign exchange loss of approximately $7 million in the September 2015 quarter.

After the application of the SIMADI exchange rate at September 30, 2015, the company’s operations in Venezuela had an immaterial amount of net monetary assets denominated in local currency.

l. Stockholder’s Equity. On March 1, 2014, all of the outstanding shares of 6.25% mandatory convertible preferred stock (2,587,400 shares) were automatically converted (in accordance with its terms) into 6,912,756 shares of the company’s common stock. Because March 1, 2014 was not a business day, the mandatory conversion was effected on Monday, March 3, 2014.

m. Accounting Standards. In May of 2014 (subsequently amended in August of 2015), the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new revenue recognition standard entitled “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The objective of the standard is to establish the principles that an entity shall apply to report useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows from a contract with a customer. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, which for the company is January 1, 2018. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, which for the company in January 1, 2017. The standard allows for either “full retrospective” adoption, meaning the standard is applied to all periods presented, or “modified retrospective” adoption, meaning the standard is applied only to the most current period presented in the financial statements. The company is currently assessing when and which method it will choose for adoption, and is evaluating the impact of the adoption on its consolidated results of operations and financial position.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

During the September 2015 quarter, the company continued to implement organizational initiatives to create a more competitive cost structure and rebalance the company’s global skill set. The company had previously announced a plan to incur pretax restructuring charges estimated at approximately $300 million over several quarters. The company expects to generate annualized cost savings of approximately $200 million from this program by the end of 2016.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the company recognized pretax charges of $70.0 million in connection with this plan. The charges related to work-force reductions were $52.3 million, principally related to severance costs, and were comprised of: (a) a charge of $28.1 million for 706 employees in the U.S. and (b) a charge of $24.2 million for 527 employees outside the U.S. In addition, the company recorded pretax charges of $17.7 million related to asset impairments and other expenses related to the cost reduction effort.

The pretax charges were recorded in the following statement of income classifications: cost of revenue – services, $21.2 million; cost of revenue – technology, $.2 million; selling, general and administrative expenses, $36.1 million; and research and development expenses, $12.5 million.

The company’s results in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were impacted by the charges referred to above as well as the negative impact of foreign currency fluctuations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the company reported a net loss attributable to Unisys Corporation common shareholders of $111.0 million, or a loss of $2.22 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $17.8 million, or a loss $.36 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The current period includes after tax cost reduction charges (discussed above) of $65.0 million, or $1.30 per diluted share.

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 declined 9 percent to $2,225.2 million compared with $2,450.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, principally due to an 8-percentage-point negative impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

Results of operations

Company results

Three months ended September 30, 2015 compared with the three months ended September 30, 2014

During the three months ended September 30, 2015, the company recognized pretax charges of $17.4 million in connection with the plan discussed above. The charges related to work-force reductions were $9.8 million and were comprised of: (a) a charge of $2.7 million for 176 employees in the U.S. and (b) a charge of $7.1 million for 114 employees outside the U.S. In addition, the company recorded pretax charges of $7.6 million for other expenses related to the cost reduction effort.

The pretax charges were recorded in the following statement of income classifications: cost of revenue – services, $7.9 million; cost of revenue – technology, $.1 million; selling, general and administrative expenses, $9.7 million; and research and development expenses, $.8 million.

Revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 was $739.2 million compared with $882.5 million for the third quarter of 2014, a decrease of 16% from the prior year. Foreign currency fluctuations had an 8-percentage point negative impact on revenue in the current period compared with the year-ago period.

Services revenue decreased 8% and Technology revenue decreased 51% in the current quarter compared with the year-ago period. U.S. revenue decreased 5% in the third quarter compared with the year-ago period. International revenue decreased 25% in the current quarter with all regions contributing to the decline. Foreign currency had a 14-percentage-point negative impact on international revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared with the three months ended September 30, 2014.

 

16


Total gross profit margin was 19.0% in the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared with 26.6% in the three months ended September 30, 2014. The decline was due to lower margins in both the Technology and Services segments, cost reduction charges of $8.0 million and higher pension expense of $7.1 million.

Selling, general and administrative expense in the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $115.4 million (15.6% of revenue) compared with $138.0 million (15.6% of revenue) in the year-ago period. The decrease principally reflects savings due to cost reduction actions as well as foreign currency exchange rate changes.

Research and development (R&D) expenses in the third quarter of 2015 were $16.6 million compared with $20.3 million in the third quarter of 2014. The decrease principally reflects savings due to cost reduction actions.

For the third quarter of 2015, the company reported an operating profit of $8.6 million compared with an operating profit of $76.6 million in the third quarter of 2014. The current quarter principally reflects reduced operating profit in the Technology segment, cost reduction charges of $17.4 million and $9.1 million of higher pension expense.

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, pension expense was $27.2 million compared with pension expense of $18.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. For the full year 2015, the company expects to recognize pension expense of approximately $108.7 million compared with $73.8 million for the full year of 2014. The company records pension income or expense, as well as other employee-related costs such as 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.

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $3.0 million compared with $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Other income (expense), net was income of $1.7 million in the third quarter of 2015 compared with income of $3.3 million in the third quarter of 2014. Included in the third quarter of 2015 and 2014 were foreign exchange gains of $2.1 million and $2.5 million, respectively.

Income before income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $7.3 million compared with income of $77.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The current period principally reflects reduced operating profit in the Technology segment, cost reduction charges of $17.4 million and $9.1 million of higher pension expense. The provision for income taxes was $14.9 million in the current quarter compared with $26.4 million in the year-ago period.

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 company’s U.S. operations has no provision or benefit associated with it due to a full valuation allowance. As a result, the company’s 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, 2015, the company reported a net loss attributable to Unisys Corporation common shareholders of $9.6 million, or $.19 per diluted share, compared with net income attributable to Unisys Corporation common shareholders of $47.8 million, or $.95 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2014

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $2,225.2 million compared with $2,450.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, a decrease of 9%. Foreign currency fluctuations had an 8 percentage point negative impact on revenue in the current period compared with the year-ago period.

Services revenue decreased 7% and Technology revenue decreased 24% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared with the year-ago period. U.S. revenue

Foreign currency had a 13 percentage point negative impact on international revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Total gross profit margin was 17.2% in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared with 21.8% in the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decline was principally due to lower margins in both the Technology and Services segments, cost reduction charges of $21.4 million and higher pension expense of $20.8 million.

Selling, general and administrative expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $389.6 million (17.5% of revenue) compared with $410.1 million (16.7% of revenue) in the year-ago period. The current year period includes cost reduction charges of $36.1 million. The decrease principally reflects savings due to cost reduction actions, as well as foreign currency exchange rate changes.

Research and development (R&D) expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $63.2 million compared with $50.5 million in the prior-year period. The increase principally reflects the cost reduction charges of $12.5 million.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the company reported an operating loss of $70.9 million compared with an operating profit of $72.5 million in the prior-year period. The current year loss principally reflects lower operating income in the Services segment, cost reduction charges of $70.0 million and $26.0 million of higher pension expense.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, pension expense was $81.5 million compared with pension expense of $55.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

The loss before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $71.2 million compared with income of $56.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The current period loss principally reflects cost reduction charges of $70.0 million as well as higher pension expense. The provision for income taxes was $33.3 million in the current period compared with $62.3 million in the year-ago period.

Segment results

Effective January 1, 2015, the company changed the grouping of certain of its classes of products and services. As a result, certain revenue (principally company technology products) previously reported in the company’s Services segment is now reported in its Technology segment. As a result, prior-periods segment revenue and cost of sales, as well as customer revenue by classes of similar products and services, have been reclassified to conform to the current-year period.

The company has two business segments: Services and Technology. Revenue classifications within the Services segment are as follows:

 

    Cloud & infrastructure services. This represents revenue from work the company performs in the data center and cloud area, technology consulting and technology-based systems integration projects, as well as global service desks and global field services.

 

    Application services. This represents revenue from application managed services and application development, maintenance and support work.

 

    Business processing outsourcing services. This represents revenue from the management of clients’ specific business processes.

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

 

18


the sale of hardware and software products sourced from third parties that are sold to customers through the company’s Services channels. In the company’s 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 segment’s 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, 2015 and 2014 was $1.6 million and zero, respectively. The amount for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $9.1 million and $.4 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 $656.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, down 7.9% from the three months ended September 30, 2014. Foreign currency translation had a 9 percentage-point negative impact on Services revenue in the current quarter compared with the year-ago period.

Revenue from cloud & infrastructure services was $380.0 million in the September 2015 quarter down 13.5% compared with the September 2014 quarter. Foreign currency fluctuations had an 8-percentage-point negative impact on cloud & infrastructure services revenue in the current period compared with the year-ago period.

Application services revenue increased 6.5% for the three month period ended September 30, 2015 compared with the three month period ended September 30, 2014. New contract wins at the company’s U.S. Federal business were a major contributor to the increase. Foreign currency fluctuations had a 10-percentage-point negative impact on application services revenue in the current period compared with the year-ago period.

Business processing outsourcing services revenue decreased 15.6% in the current quarter compared with the prior-year quarter. Foreign currency fluctuations had a 10-percentage-point negative impact on business processing outsourcing services revenue in the current period compared with the year-ago period.

Services gross profit was 17.3% in the third quarter of 2015 compared with 18.8% in the year-ago period. Services operating income percent was 4.8% in the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared with 5.1% in the three months ended September 30, 2014. The gross profit margin was impacted by start-up costs on new multi-year engagements, as well as lower project work in existing services accounts.

In the Technology segment, customer revenue decreased 51.2% to $83.2 million in the current quarter compared with $170.6 million in the year-ago period. Foreign currency translation had a 5 percentage-point negative impact on Technology revenue in the current quarter compared with the year-ago period. The decline in revenue was due to lower sales of the company’s proprietary enterprise software and servers in the current quarter principally reflecting lower software license renewal opportunities than the company experienced in the prior year period.

Technology gross profit was 55.0% in the current quarter compared with 61.3% in the year-ago quarter. Technology operating income percent was 20.7% in the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared with 31.1% in the three months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease in gross profit and operating profit percentage principally reflects reduces sales of the company’s proprietary enterprise software and servers in the current quarter.

In the Services segment, customer revenue was $1,956.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, down 6.7% from the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Foreign currency translation had an 8 percentage-point negative impact on Services revenue in the current period compared with the year-ago period.

Revenue from cloud & infrastructure services was $1,146.1 million for the nine months ended September 2015, down 11.1% compared with the year-ago period. Foreign currency fluctuations had an 8-percentage-point negative impact on cloud & infrastructure services revenue in the current period compared with the year-ago period.

Application services revenue increased 5.3% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 compared with the nine month period ended September 30, 2014. New contract wins at the company’s U.S. Federal business were a major contributor to the increase. Foreign currency fluctuations had a 9-percentage-point negative impact on application services revenue in the current period compared with the year-ago period.

Business processing outsourcing services revenue decreased 14.7% in the current period compared with the prior-year period. Foreign currency fluctuations had a 9-percentage-point negative impact on business processing outsourcing services revenue in the current period compared with the year-ago period.

Services gross profit was 15.7% in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared with 17.2% in the year-ago period. Services operating income percent was 1.9% in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared with 3.5% in the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Both gross profit and operating profit margins were impacted by start-up costs on new multi-year engagements, as well as lower project work in existing services accounts.

In the Technology segment, customer revenue decreased 24.0% to $268.7 million in the current period compared with $353.6 million in the year-ago period. Foreign currency translation had a 7 percentage-point negative impact on Technology revenue in the current period compared with the year-ago period. The decline in revenue was due to lower sales of the company’s proprietary enterprise software and servers in the current year period principally reflecting lower software license renewal opportunities than the company experienced in the prior year period.

Technology gross profit was 49.0% in the current period compared with 53.3% in the year-ago period. Technology operating income percent was 14.2% in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared with 12.4% in the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease in gross profit percentage principally reflects reduces sales of the company’s proprietary enterprise software and servers in the current period.

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 near-term cash requirements.

Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2015 were $293.1 million compared with $494.3 million at December 31, 2014.

As of September 30, 2015, $233.5 million of cash and cash equivalents were held by the company’s foreign subsidiaries and branches operating outside of the U.S. In the future, if these funds are needed for the company’s 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, 2015, cash used for operations was $108.5 million compared with cash provided of $15.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Contributing to the increase in cash usage was a higher net loss, lower receivable collections due to lower revenue and $37.6 million used for cost reduction efforts in the current period. Partially offsetting the increased cash usage was lower cash contributions to the company’s defined benefit pension plans. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the company contributed cash of $115.6 million to such plans compared with $161.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Cash used for investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $141.5 million compared with cash usage of $129.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Net proceeds of investments were $19.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared with net proceeds of $16.0 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 addition, in the current period, the investment in marketable software was $46.8 million compared with $56.1 million in the year-ago period, capital additions of properties were $40.2 million in 2015 compared with $41.9 million in 2014 and capital additions of outsourcing assets were $80.4 million in 2015 compared with $45.9 million in 2014. The higher capital expenditures largely reflected increased investments in new outsourcing agreements.

Cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $89.0 million compared with cash usage of $30.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. During the current period, the company had net proceeds of short-term borrowings of $55.0 million under the company’s revolving credit agreement (1.9% interest rate at September 30, 2015) and proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt of $31.8 million. Included in the prior year period was cash usage of $29.3 million for purchases of common stock and $4.0 million for dividends paid on preferred stock.

At September 30, 2015, total debt was $310.3 million compared with $224.0 million at December 31, 2014. On April 1, 2015, the company entered into a secured borrowing whereby it received $31.8 million of cash secured by an account receivable.

The company has a secured revolving credit facility, expiring in June 2018, 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, 2015, the company had $55.0 million of borrowings and $11.4 million of letters of credit outstanding under the facility. At September 30, 2015, availability under the facility was $83.6 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 company’s business, properties, operations or financial condition. The company is required to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio if the availability under the credit facility falls below the greater of 12.5% of the lenders’ commitments under the facility and $18.75 million. The credit agreement allows the company to pay dividends on its capital stock in an amount up to $22.5 million per year 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

 

22


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., Unisys AP Investment Company I 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, 2015, 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 2015, the company expects to make cash contributions of approximately $151 million to its worldwide defined benefit pension plans, which is comprised of $59 million for the company’s U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan and $92 million primarily for non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans.

The company has on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission an effective registration statement, expiring in February of 2018, 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.

On March 1, 2014, all of the outstanding shares of 6.25% mandatory convertible preferred stock (2,587,400 shares) were automatically converted (in accordance with its terms) into 6,912,756 shares of the company’s common stock. Because March 1, 2014 was not a business day, the mandatory conversion was effected on Monday, March 3, 2014.

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 company’s 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.

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:

The company’s future results will depend upon its ability to effectively anticipate and respond to volatility and rapid technological innovation in its industry. The company operates in a highly volatile industry characterized by

 

23


rapid technological innovation, evolving technology standards, short product life cycles and continually changing customer demand patterns. Future success will depend in part on the company’s 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 using new delivery models such as cloud computing. 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 company’s offerings less competitive.

Future results will also depend on the company’s ability to maintain and grow its technology business. The company continues to invest in developing new high-end enterprise server products, cybersecurity software, cloud-based products and other offerings to meet client needs, including the Forward! by Unisys line of fabric servers and the Unisys Stealth family of cybersecurity software. Future results will depend on the company’s ability to effectively market and sell these new products while maintaining its installed base and developing next-generation ClearPath Forward products.

Future results will depend on the company’s ability to improve margins in its services business. The company’s ability to grow profitably in this business will depend on the level of demand for 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 company’s 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 company’s 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 company’s future results will depend on driving efficiencies across all of its operations. The company has begun to implement 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.

The company has significant pension obligations and may be required to make additional 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. In 2014, the company made cash contributions of $183.4 million to its worldwide defined benefit pension plans. Based on current legislation, recent interest rates and expected returns, in 2015 the company estimates that it will make cash contributions to its worldwide defined benefit pension plans of approximately $151 million, which is comprised of approximately $59 million for the company’s U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan and approximately $92 million primarily for non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans.

Deterioration in the value of the company’s 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 company’s operations, financial condition and liquidity.

Financial market conditions may inhibit the company’s ability to access capital and credit markets to address its liquidity needs. Financial market conditions may impact the company’s 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 company’s future results will depend in part on its ability to attract, motivate and retain experienced and knowledgeable personnel in key positions. The success of the company’s business is dependent upon its ability to employ and train individuals with the requisite knowledge, skills and experience to

 

24


execute the company’s business model and achieve its business objectives. The failure of the company to retain key personnel or implement an appropriate succession plan could adversely impact the company’s ability to successfully carry out its business strategy and retain other key personnel.

The company faces aggressive competition in the information services and technology marketplace, which could lead to reduced demand for the company’s products and services and could have an adverse effect on the company’s 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 company’s competitors include consulting and other professional services firms, systems integrators, outsourcing providers, infrastructure services providers, computer hardware manufacturers and software providers. Some of the company’s competitors may develop competing products and services that offer better price-performance or that reach the market in advance of the company’s 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 company’s products and services and could have an adverse effect on the company’s business. Future results will depend on the company’s ability to mitigate the effects of aggressive competition on revenues, pricing and margins and on the company’s ability to attract and retain talented people.

The company’s 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, dissatisfaction with the company’s efficiency initiatives, disputes with clients or a decision to in-source services, including 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 company’s contracts may not be as profitable as expected or provide the expected level of revenues. In a number of the company’s long-term services contracts, the company’s revenue is based on the volume of products and services provided. As a result, revenue levels anticipated at the contract’s inception are not guaranteed. In addition, some of these contracts may permit termination at the customer’s discretion before the end of the contract’s term or may permit termination or impose other penalties if the company does not meet the performance levels specified in the contracts.

The company’s 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 entity’s discretion before the end of the contract’s term. In addition, if the company’s 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 company’s services agreements require that the company’s 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 company’s services 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 company’s ability to perform these services contracts profitably.

Cybersecurity breaches could result in the company incurring significant costs and could harm the company’s business and reputation. The company’s business includes managing, processing, storing and transmitting proprietary and confidential data, including personal information, intellectual property and proprietary business information, within the company’s own IT systems and those that the company designs, develops, hosts or manages for clients. Cybersecurity breaches involving these systems by hackers, other third parties or the

 

25


company’s employees, despite established security controls, could disrupt these systems or result in the loss or corruption of data or the unauthorized disclosure or misuse of 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 and adversely affect the market’s perception of the security and reliability of the company’s products and services. In addition, such breaches could subject the company to fines and penalties for violations of laws and result in the company incurring other significant costs. This may negatively impact the company’s reputation and financial results.

A significant disruption in the company’s IT systems could adversely affect the company’s business and reputation. We rely extensively on our IT systems to conduct our business and perform services for our clients. Our systems are subject to damage or interruption from power outages, telecommunications failures, computer viruses and malicious attacks, cybersecurity breaches and catastrophic events. If our systems are damaged or fail to function properly, we could incur substantial repair or replacement costs, experience data loss and impediments to our ability to conduct our business, and damage the market’s perception of our products and services. In addition, a disruption could result in the company failing to meet performance standards and obligations in its client contracts, which could subject the company to liability, penalties and contract termination. This may adversely affect the company’s reputation and financial results.

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 company’s 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 company’s 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.

Future results will depend in part on the performance and capabilities of third parties with whom the company has commercial relationships. The company maintains business 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 company’s relationship with, distributors and other indirect channel partners, which can affect the company’s capacity to effectively and efficiently serve current and potential customers and end users.

The company’s business can be adversely affected by global economic conditions, acts of war, terrorism or natural disasters. The company’s 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 company’s 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 company’s business.

The company’s 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 contractor’s 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 contractor’s compliance with, contract terms and conditions, its systems and policies, including the contractor’s 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

 

26


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 company’s business or reputation.

A significant portion of the company’s revenue is derived from operations outside of the United States, and the company is subject to the risks of doing business internationally. A significant portion of the company’s 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.

The company’s 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 company’s 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 company’s 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 company’s 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, 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, management’s attention could be diverted from other business concerns. Adverse credit conditions could also affect the company’s ability to consummate dispositions or acquisitions. The risks associated with dispositions and acquisitions could have a material adverse effect upon the company’s 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 company’s 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, 2014.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The company’s management, with the participation of the company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the company’s 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 company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of such period, the company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Such evaluation did not identify any change in the company’s 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 company’s internal control over financial reporting.
