BLUE BELL, Pa., January 31, 2012 - Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS) today
reported fourth-quarter 2011 net income from continuing operations of $94.3
million, or $1.94 per diluted share. The results include a pretax charge of
$7.6 million related to debt reduction. This compared with fourth-quarter 2010
net income from continuing operations of $95.2 million, or $2.20 per diluted
share, which included $0.7 million of pretax debt reduction charges. Excluding
debt reduction charges, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share in the fourth
quarter of 2011 was $2.08 compared to $2.21 in the year-ago quarter. Revenue in
the fourth quarter of 2011 declined 6 percent to $985 million compared with
$1.04 billion in the year-ago quarter. About half of the decline was due to
lower revenue in the company's U.S. Federal business and the remainder was
primarily due to lower third-party equipment sales in the rest of the business.
Foreign currency fluctuations had an insignificant impact on year-over-year
revenue comparisons in the quarter.

For the full year of 2011, Unisys reported pretax income of $206.0 million and
net income from continuing operations of $120.5 million, or $2.71 per diluted
share. The results included $85.2 million of pretax charges related to debt
reduction. This compared with full-year 2010 pretax income of $222.9 million
and net income from continuing operations of $158.9 million, or $3.67 per
diluted share, which included $2.1 million of pretax debt reduction charges.
Excluding debt reduction charges, full-year 2011 non-GAAP pretax income(2) was
$291.2 million and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was $4.43 compared to
full-year 2010 non-GAAP pretax income(2) of $225.0 million and non-GAAP diluted
earnings per share of $3.72. Full-year 2011 revenue declined 4 percent to $3.85
billion compared with full-year 2010 revenue of $4.02 billion. Excluding the
U.S. Federal business, full-year revenue increased 1 percent over full-year
2010 revenue. Foreign currency fluctuations had a three percentage-point
positive impact on revenue in the year.

"We closed 2011 with another quarter of progress toward our financial goals,"
said Unisys Chairman and CEO Ed Coleman. "We increased our pretax profit,
further reduced debt, and continued to grow both IT outsourcing and systems
integration revenue excluding our U.S. Federal business. We were also pleased
with strong double-digit services order growth in the quarter.

"For the full year of 2011, we made good progress against our three-year
financial objectives," Coleman said. "Excluding debt reduction charges, we grew
our pretax profit by 29 percent. Free cash flow improved by 37 percent to $183
million. During the year we reduced our debt by $464 million to $360 million
and today we are announcing steps to further reduce our debt in 2012.

"At the top line, our revenue in 2011 was impacted by a 23 percent decline in
our U.S. Federal business. Outside this business we grew our services revenue
by 3 percent and achieved a services operating profit margin in our targeted 8
to 10 percent range. In our technology business, while our overall revenue was
down due to lower third-party equipment sales, we met our goal of maintaining
stable ClearPath revenue.

"In 2012 we look to make continued progress toward our financial goals while
further enhancing our market differentiation and delivering service excellence
to our customers," Coleman added. "In our U.S. Federal business, while market
conditions remain challenging, we are focused on improving our results in this
important market and delivering innovative solutions that help our customers
operate more effectively and efficiently."

FOURTH-QUARTER COMPANY AND BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS
Revenue from the company's U.S. Federal business declined approximately $36
million, or about 18 percent, in the quarter, reflecting the ending of the
company's contract with the U.S. Transportation Security Administration in
November 2010 as well as continued budget challenges in the U.S. Federal market.

The company's profit margins in the fourth quarter of 2011 were impacted by the
lower revenue in the U.S. Federal business and a $9 million year-over-year
increase in pension expense. Unisys reported a fourth-quarter 2011 gross profit
margin of 28.4 percent, down from 29.8 percent in the year-ago quarter.
Operating expenses (selling, general and administrative expenses plus research
and development) declined 10 percent year-over-year. Unisys reported fourth-
quarter 2011 operating profit of $121.6 million, or 12.3 percent of revenue,
compared to operating profit of $134.6 million, or 12.9 percent of revenue, in
the fourth quarter of 2010.

Fourth-quarter 2011 services revenue declined 3 percent year-over-year,
reflecting lower U.S. Federal services revenue. Excluding the U.S. Federal
business, services revenue grew 2 percent from the year-ago quarter, driven by
continued growth in IT outsourcing and systems integration revenue. Services
gross profit margin declined to 20.0 percent compared with 21.9 percent a year
ago. Reflecting the impact of lower U.S. Federal revenue, services operating
profit margin declined to 7.6 percent compared with 8.0 percent a year ago.
Excluding the U.S. Federal business, fourth-quarter 2011 services operating
profit margin increased over the prior year and was within the company's
targeted 8 to 10 percent range.

Fourth-quarter 2011 services orders showed double-digit growth in the quarter,
reflecting substantial order gains for long-term IT outsourcing contracts as
well as order gains for systems integration projects. Services backlog at
December 31, 2011 was $5.5 billion, a decrease of 4 percent from December 31,
2010.

Fourth-quarter 2011 technology revenue declined 19 percent in the quarter,
driven by lower sales of third-party equipment. Sales of ClearPath software and
servers were essentially flat year-over-year. Reflecting the higher mix of
ClearPath revenue, technology gross profit margins improved to 65.9 percent
compared with 56.5 percent in the year-ago quarter, while technology operating
profit margin improved to 37.7 percent compared with 30.1 percent a year ago.

CASH FLOW AND BALANCE SHEET RESULTS
Unisys generated $159 million of cash from operations in the fourth quarter of
2011 compared with $187 million in the year-ago quarter. Capital expenditures
in the fourth quarter of 2011 were $33 million compared with $41 million in the
year-ago quarter. The company generated $126 million of free cash flow(3) in
the fourth quarter of 2011 compared with free cash flow of $146 million in the
year-ago quarter.

For the full year of 2011, the company generated $317 million of cash from
operations compared with $337 million in 2010. Capital expenditures were $134
million in 2011 compared with $203 million in 2010. Unisys generated $183
million of free cash flow(3) in 2011 compared with free cash flow of $134
million in 2010.

For the full year of 2011, the company reduced its debt by $464 million, or 56
percent. At December 31, 2011, Unisys reported $715 million of cash on hand and
$360 million of total debt.

As part of its debt reduction program, Unisys is calling for redemption its
14.25% senior secured notes due September 2015 and a portion of its 12.5%
senior notes due January 2016. The $65.5 million of notes will be redeemed in
accordance with the provisions of the notes.

NON-GAAP INFORMATION
Unisys reports its results in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (GAAP) in the United States. However, in an effort to provide
investors with additional perspective regarding the company's results as
determined by GAAP, the company also discusses, in its earnings press release
and/or earnings presentation materials, non-GAAP information which management
believes provides useful information to investors. Our management uses
supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and
evaluate our business and assess operational alternatives. These non-GAAP
measures may include non-GAAP pretax income, non-GAAP earnings per diluted
share and free cash flow.

Our non-GAAP measures are not intended to be considered in isolation or as
substitutes for results determined in accordance with GAAP and should be read
only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in
accordance with GAAP. (See GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations attached.)

(1) (2) Non-GAAP pretax income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share - As a
result of the debt reductions, Unisys recorded pretax charges of $7.6 million
and $85.2 million, respectively, during the fourth quarter and full year of
2011, and $0.7 million and $2.1 million, respectively, during the fourth
quarter and full year of 2010. In an effort to provide investors with a
perspective on the company's earnings without these charges, they are excluded
from the non-GAAP pretax income and earnings per diluted share calculations.

(3) Free cash flow - To better understand the trends in our business, we
believe that it is helpful to present free cash flow, which we define as cash
flow from operations less capital expenditures. Management believes this
measure gives investors an additional perspective on cash flow from operating
activities in excess of amounts required for reinvestment.

CONFERENCE CALL
Unisys will hold a conference call today at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss
its results. The listen-only Webcast, as well as the accompanying presentation
materials, can be accessed via a link on the Unisys Investor Web site at
www.unisys.com/investor. Following the call, an audio replay of the Webcast,
and accompanying presentation materials, can be accessed through the same link.
