Unisys Awarded $92 Million Task Order for Desktop Management Services at the U.S. Defense Finance and Accounting Service
Task Order Re-compete Extends Unisys Longstanding Relationship with Department of Defense Agency
Thursday April 16, 2009, 8:00 am EDT


BLUE BELL, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The General Services Administration (GSA) has awarded the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) Desktop Management Initiative (DMI) II task order to Unisys (NYSE:UIS - News). DMI II is a cost plus award fee task order that provides a full suite of managed desktop and help desk services for more than 14,000 DFAS desktop and laptop computers. The task order is valued at an estimated $92 million if all options are exercised, and is a recompete of the DMI I task order Unisys has held since March 2004. The new agreement has a one-year base award valued at an estimated $16 million and currently funded at $11.5 million and allows for four one-year options, exercisable at the discretion of DFAS.

Established in 1991, DFAS is the accounting arm of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and the largest accounting and finance agency in the world – processing nearly $2 billion in payments daily. DFAS processes salaries and pensions for 5.3 million active and retired military members and their dependants; disburses payments to DoD contractors; and processes all expenses related to DoD business travel.

Under the new agreement, Unisys will continue to provide desktop support and end-user services, including engineering support, centralized software distribution, asset management, patch management, malware protection, and a full range of security and protection services. Unisys will also continue to support DFAS' mission-critical applications as well as initiatives to improve the overall effectiveness of DoD financial management through consolidation, standardization and integration of finance and accounting procedures.

In addition, Unisys will operate the agency's enterprise help desk, which supports more than 14,000 DFAS system users across 13 locations in the United States and abroad. Unisys will continue to create flexible help-desk staffing models based on call patterns to ensure higher service levels, increase cost savings, and improve productivity. Unisys will also leverage new technologies to support virtualization aimed at reducing overall costs while continuing to ensure a secure infrastructure.

The award represents a validation and continuation of work performed by Unisys under the DFAS DMI I contract, awarded in 2004. DFAS saved approximately $7 million annually as a result of the Services Unisys delivered under DMI I.

Unisys Federal Systems recently achieved ISO/IEC 20000-1:2005 (ISO 20K) certification for its desktop management services line and programs, including those that it provides under the DMI contract. Administered by the International Organization for Standardization, ISO 20K is the first internationally recognized standard aimed at IT Service Management. Unisys is one of a small number of companies to receive the certification based on its ability to implement an integrated system for effectively delivering managed services.

"As federal agencies work to reduce costs, increase productivity, and enhance security, they need solutions to create a more centralized and standardized environment," said Jim Geiger, managing partner, Department of Defense, Unisys Federal Systems. "Unisys has set a precedent for achieving results based on DMI I and we look forward to continuing to deliver the high-quality IT support and services that will help DFAS continue to advance its objectives and goals."

Unisys Surprises the Street

The new CEO at Unisys (NYSE: UIS - News) is determined to make the organization lean and highly efficient with a clearly differentiated value proposition that customers recognize. Meanwhile, management is still engaged in a multi pronged strategy of reducing the cost structure of the company and focusing its resources on high growth areas in the IT market.

The company expects that it would now derive tangible results from its ongoing restructuring, after several execution missteps in the past. It remains to be seen how the new CEO turns around the company. IT spending by industry is expected to remain lackluster in the near future.

Unisys generated $5.2 billion in revenues in 2008 compared to $104 billion and $17 billion generated by its competitors IBM (NYSE: IBM - News) and Computer Sciences Corporation (NYSE: CSC - News) respectively. Expanding the top-line amid such recessionary conditions will be an uphill task.

Unisys Surprises the Street
By Zacks Equity Research
On Wednesday July 29, 2009, 12:00 pm EDT


Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS - News) yesterday reported second quarter revenues of $1.13 billion, down 16% year over year and 3% sequentially and against the consensus forecast of $1.06 billion. The unfavorable movement in foreign exchange rates adversely affected revenues by 8%. On a constant currency basis (excluding the effect of foreign exchange rates), revenues declined 8% in the quarter.

The company saw revenue declines in all of its services and technology offerings in the quarter. In particular, the technological business was impacted by deferrals by clients of expected IT purchases.

Gross margin came in at 23.9%, up from 22.7% in the previous quarter and 20.3% in the previous quarter. Operating margin improved to 6.7% from 1.7% in the year-ago quarter and 2.0% in the previous quarter. GAAP EPS came in at $0.10, against the consensus estimate of a loss of a penny per share.

The better-than-expected performance was due to ongoing measures to reduce costs. Last December, management announced plans to undertake cost cutting measures that should reduce annual costs by $225 million.

The cost reduction measures focuses on reducing expenditure on SG&A, reducing labor costs, reductions in third-party expenses, facility consolidations along with reducing headcount by approximately 1,300 positions on a worldwide basis.

Management stated that the company will forgo salary increments for 2009 in most markets. Unisys suspended company matching contributions to the U.S. 401(k) plan, which had been costing the company about $50 million annually.

Unisys is struggling with a high debt level of $1061.2 million and cash and equivalents of $475 million only. During the quarter, the company launched private debt exchange offers designed to address $300 million of debt maturing in March, 2010.

Approximately $230 million of the 2010 notes have been tendered in the exchange thereby leaving approximately $70 million still outstanding. It remains to be seen how the management can de-leverages its balance sheet.

The company continues to see soft demand in its commercial business as organizations remain cautious about investing in new IT projects, as they work through the economic downturn. However, the company continues to benefit from government spending on security systems.

Orders from the services segment declined substantially year over year reflecting order declines for outsourcing and systems integration projects. Going forward, services business will be down in the third quarter due to normal seasonality and tough economic environment.

The new CEO is determined to make the organization lean and highly efficient with a clearly differentiated value proposition that customers recognize. Meanwhile, management is still engaged in a multi pronged strategy of reducing the cost structure of the company and focusing its resources on high growth areas in the IT market.

The company expects that it would now derive tangible results from its ongoing restructuring, after several execution missteps in the past. It remains to be seen how the new CEO turns around the company. IT spending by industry is expected to remain lackluster in the near future.

Unisys generated $5.2 billion in revenues in 2008 compared to $104 billion and $17 billion generated by its competitors IBM (NYSE: IBM - News) and Computer Sciences Corporation (NYSE: CSC - News) respectively. Expanding the top-line amid such recessionary conditions will be an uphill task.

We maintain our HOLD on the stock.
