BLUE BELL, Pa., Feb. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Unisys Corporation (NYSE:UIS) reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2025.

"Our 2025 results reflect our ongoing commitment to a consistent strategy that balances our investment in solution development with our financial objectives of advancing profitability, free cash flow, and removal of pension liabilities," said Michael Thomson, Unisys CEO and President. "We believe we are effectively leveraging technology in our delivery capabilities and building AI-enabled solution frameworks to increase the scale and pace of value realization for our clients. This allows Unisys to show up differently in the market, and we see increasing recognition for our capabilities across our clients, partners, and industry analysts as we work towards accelerating revenue growth."

Unisys Chief Financial Officer Deb McCann said, "We were pleased to deliver another year of solid profitability improvement, exceeding the high-end of our upwardly revised non-GAAP operating margin guidance. Our License & Support ecosystem has continued to outperform our financial expectations, with consumption continuing to benefit from client adoption of AI. We ended the year with a strong liquidity position driven by increasing cash balances, an undrawn credit facility and no major near-term debt maturities."

Financial Highlights

Please refer to the accompanying financial tables for a reconciliation of the GAAP to non-GAAP measures presented except for financial guidance since such a reconciliation is not practicable without unreasonable effort.

Fourth Quarter 2025 Results

Revenue increased 5.3% YoY, a 2.7% increase in constant currency, primarily driven by the timing of software license renewals. Ex-L&S revenue declined 1.4% YoY, a 3.9% decrease in constant currency, primarily driven by lower volume with clients in the Digital Workplace Solutions (DWS) and Cloud, Applications & Infrastructure Solutions (CA&I) segments.

Gross profit margin increased 180 bps YoY, primarily driven by the timing of software license renewals. Ex-L&S gross profit margin decreased 250 bps YoY, primarily due to 110 bps in higher cost reduction charges and an additional 70 bps from costs associated with a mutually agreed-upon client contract termination.

Full Year 2025

Revenue decreased 2.9% YoY, a 3.3% decrease in constant currency, primarily driven by lower volume with clients in the DWS and CA&I segments. Gross profit margin decreased 100 bps YoY, primarily driven by a higher proportion of hardware revenue within the Enterprise Computing Solutions (ECS) segment.

Ex-L&S revenue decreased 3.5%, a 3.9% decrease in constant currency, and Ex-L&S gross profit margin decreased 80 bps YoY. These declines were primarily driven by lower volume with clients in the DWS and CA&I segments.

Operating profit included non-cash goodwill impairment charges of $55.0 million and $39.1 million, in 2025 and 2024, respectively.

In 2025, net loss attributable to Unisys Corporation included a non-cash pension settlement loss of $227.7 million net of tax as a result of a group annuity purchase contract to transfer approximately $320 million of projected U.S. defined benefit pension liabilities to a third-party insurer, funded with plan assets. 

Financial Highlights by Segment

Fourth Quarter 2025 Segment Results

DWS revenue declined 1.4% YoY, a 3.7% decline in constant currency. DWS gross profit margin was 10.5%, a decrease of 540 bps YoY. These declines were primarily driven by lower volume with clients. Additionally, the DWS gross profit margin was negatively impacted by 200 bps associated with costs related to a mutually agreed-upon client contract termination.

CA&I revenue declined 1.1% YoY, a 4.1% decline in constant currency, primarily driven by lower volume with clients. CA&I gross profit margin was 20.7%, an increase of 210 bps YoY, primarily driven by labor cost savings initiatives.

ECS revenue increased 16.4% YoY, a 14.0% increase in constant currency. ECS gross profit margin was 65.9%, an increase of 270 bps YoY. These increases were primarily driven by the timing of software license renewals.

Full Year 2025

DWS revenue decreased 2.9%YoY, a 3.1% decrease in constant currency. DWS gross profit margin was 14.5%, a decrease of 120 bps YoY. These declines were primarily driven by lower volume with clients.

CA&I revenue decreased 4.1% YoY, a 4.8% decrease in constant currency, primarily driven by lower volume with clients in the public sector. CA&I gross profit margin was 20.2%, an increase of 60 bps YoY, primarily driven by labor cost savings initiatives.

ECS revenue remained relatively flat YoY and in constant currency. ECS gross profit margin was 55.5%, a decrease of 250 bps YoY, primarily driven by a higher proportion of hardware revenue, which has a lower gross margin profile relative to license renewals.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

Cash and cash equivalents increased $37.4 million YoY.

At December 31, 2025, the defined benefit pension plans had a funding deficit of $448.5 million, a decrease of $301.7 million YoY. This reduction is primarily due to $343.7 million in cash contributions, including a $250 million discretionary contribution to the company's U.S. defined benefit pension plans, which was funded with approximately $200 million from the net proceeds of the 10.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2031 and $50 million from cash on hand.

Fourth quarter 2025 free cash flow increased by $30.1 million YoY, primarily driven by lower net interest payments and increased license renewals collections.

Full-year 2025 free cash flow declined by $272.9 million YoY, primarily resulting from cash contributions, including the discretionary pension contribution discussed above, partially offset by the favorable settlement of a legal matter and changes in working capital.

Full-year 2025 pre-pension and postretirement free cash flow increased by $45.3 million YoY, primarily due to the favorable settlement of a legal matter and changes in working capital.

Other Metrics

In the fourth quarter and full year of 2025, the increase in TCV was primarily driven by a higher concentration of Ex-L&S renewals, partially offset by a decrease in New Business. The decrease in New Business reflects elongated sales cycles with prospective clients.

Backlog⁽²⁾ was $3.16 billion for the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to $2.84 billion for the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to Ex-L&S renewal signings.

⁽¹⁾ Constant currency – A significant amount of the company's revenue is derived from international operations. As a result, the company's revenue has been and will continue to be affected by changes in the U.S. dollar against major international currencies. The company refers to revenue growth rates in constant currency or on a constant currency basis so that the business results can be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates to facilitate comparisons of the company's business performance from one period to another. Constant currency is calculated by retranslating current and prior-period revenue at a consistent exchange rate rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the respective periods.

⁽²⁾ Backlog – Represents the estimated amount of future revenue to be recognized under contracted work, which has not yet been delivered or performed. The company believes that actual revenue reflects the most relevant measure necessary to understand the company's results of operations, but backlog can be a useful metric and indicator of the company's estimate of contracted revenue to be realized in the future, subject to certain inherent limitations. The timing of conversion of backlog to revenue may be impacted by, among other factors, the timing of execution, the extension, nullification or early termination of existing contracts with or without penalty, adjustments to estimates in pricing or volumes for previously included contracts, seasonality and foreign currency exchange rates. Investors are cautioned that backlog should not be relied upon as a substitute for, or considered in isolation from, measures in accordance with GAAP.

⁽³⁾ Total Contract Value (TCV) – Represents the initial estimated revenue related to contracts signed in the period without regard for early termination or revenue recognition rules. Changes to contracts and scope are treated as TCV only to the extent of the incremental new value. New Business TCV represents TCV attributable to expansion and new scope for existing clients and new logo contracts. L&S TCV is driven by software license renewals, and as such, changes in timing or terms of renewals can lead to fluctuations from period to period. The company believes that actual revenue reflects the most relevant measure necessary to understand the company's results of operations, but TCV can be a useful leading indicator of the company's ability to generate future revenue over time, subject to certain inherent limitations. Measuring TCV involves the use of estimates and judgments and the extent and timing of conversion of TCV to revenue may be impacted by, among other factors, the types of services and solutions sold, contract duration, the pace of client spending, actual volumes of services delivered as compared to the volumes anticipated at the time of contract signing, and contract modifications, including, without limitation, contract nullification and termination, over the lifetime of a contract. Investors are cautioned that TCV should not be relied upon as a substitute for, or considered in isolation from, measures in accordance with GAAP.

⁽⁴⁾ Book-to-bill – Represents total contract value booked divided by revenue in a given period.

⁽⁵⁾ New Business – Represents expansion and new scope for existing clients and new logo contracts.

⁽⁶⁾ Non-GAAP operating profit – This measure excludes pretax pension and postretirement expense, pretax goodwill impairment charge and pretax charges or gains associated with certain legal matters related to settlements, professional services and legal fees, including legal defense costs, associated with certain legal proceedings, and cost-reduction activities and other expenses.

⁽⁷⁾ EBITDA & adjusted EBITDA – Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is calculated by starting with net income (loss) attributable to Unisys Corporation common shareholders and adding or subtracting the following items: net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, interest expense (net of interest income), provision for (benefit from) income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA further excludes pension and postretirement expense; goodwill impairment charge, foreign exchange (gains) losses, debt extinguishment, certain legal matters related to settlements, professional services and legal fees, including legal defense costs, associated with certain legal proceedings; environmental matters related to previously disposed businesses; cost-reduction activities and other expenses; non-cash share-based expense; and other (income) expense adjustments.

⁽⁸⁾ Non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per share – These measures exclude pension and postretirement expense and charges or (credits) in connection with goodwill impairment; foreign exchange (gains) losses, debt extinguishment, certain legal matters related to settlements, professional services and legal fees, including legal defense costs, associated with certain legal proceedings; environmental matters related to previously disposed businesses; and cost-reduction activities and other expenses. The tax amounts related to these items for the calculation of non-GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per share include the current and deferred tax expense and benefits recognized under GAAP for these items.

⁽⁹⁾ Free cash flow – Represents cash flow from operations less capital expenditures.

⁽¹⁰⁾ Pre-pension and postretirement free cash flow – Represents free cash flow before pension and postretirement contributions.

⁽¹¹⁾ Adjusted free cash flow – Represents free cash flow less cash used for pension and postretirement funding; debt extinguishment, certain legal matters related to settlements, professional services and legal fees, including legal defense costs, associated with certain legal proceedings; environmental matters related to previously disposed businesses; and cost-reduction activities and other payments.

⁽¹²⁾ License and Support (L&S) – Represents software license and related support services, primarily ClearPath Forward®, within the company's ECS segment.

⁽¹³⁾ Excluding License and Support (Ex-L&S) – These measures exclude revenue, gross profit and gross profit margin in connection with software license and support services within the company's ECS segment. The company provides these measures to allow investors to isolate the impact of software license renewals, which tend to be significant and impactful based on timing, and related support services in order to evaluate the company's business outside of these areas.

Forward-Looking Statements

This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Unisys cautions readers that the assumptions forming the basis for forward-looking statements include many factors that are beyond Unisys' ability to control or estimate precisely, such as estimates of future market conditions, the behavior of other market participants and that TCV is based, in part, on the assumption that each of those contracts will continue for their full contracted term. Words such as "anticipates," "estimates," "expects," "projects," "may," "will," "intends," "plans," "believes," "should" and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements and such forward-looking statements are made based upon management's current expectations, assumptions and beliefs as of this date concerning future developments and their potential effect upon Unisys. There can be no assurance that future developments will be in accordance with management's expectations, assumptions and beliefs or that the effect of future developments on Unisys will be those anticipated by management. Forward-looking statements in this release and the accompanying presentation include, but are not limited to, statements made in Mr. Thomson's and Ms. McCann's quotations, any projections or expectations of revenue growth, margin expansion, achievement of operational efficiencies and savings, effective use of technology, investments in our solutions and artificial intelligence adoption and innovation, TCV and Ex-L&S New Business TCV, the impact of new logo signings, backlog, book-to-bill⁽⁴⁾, full-year 2026 revenue growth and profitability guidance, including constant currency revenue, Ex-L&S constant currency revenue growth, L&S revenue, non-GAAP operating profit margin, free cash flow generation and the assumptions and other expectations made in connection with our full-year 2026 financial guidance, the reduction of uncertainty and volatility of cash requirements, including pension contributions, our pension liability, debt extinguishment, future economic benefits from net operating losses and statements regarding future economic conditions or performance.

Additional information and factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from Unisys' expectations are contained in Unisys' filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including Unisys' Annual Reports on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, recent Current Reports on Form 8-K, and other SEC filings, which are available at the SEC's web site, http://www.sec.gov. Information included in this release is representative as of the date of this release only and while Unisys periodically reassesses material trends and uncertainties affecting Unisys' results of operations and financial condition in connection with its preparation of management's discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition contained in its Quarterly and Annual Reports filed with the SEC, Unisys does not, by including this statement, assume any obligation to review or revise any particular forward-looking statement referenced herein in light of future events, except as required by applicable law.

Non-GAAP Information

This release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain items such as pension and postretirement expense; goodwill impairment charge, foreign exchange (gains) losses, debt extinguishment, certain legal and other matters related to professional services and legal fees, including legal defense costs, associated with certain legal proceedings; environmental matters related to previously disposed businesses; and cost-reduction activities and other expenses that the company believes are not indicative of its ongoing operations, as they may be unusual or non-recurring. The inclusion of such items in financial measures can make the company's profitability and liquidity results difficult to compare to prior periods or anticipated future periods and can distort the visibility of trends associated with the company's ongoing performance. Management also believes that non-GAAP measures are useful to investors because they provide supplemental information about the company's financial performance and liquidity, as well as greater transparency into management's view and assessment of the company's ongoing operating performance.

Non-GAAP financial measures are often provided and utilized by the company's management, analysts, and investors to enhance comparability of year-over-year results. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on the company's GAAP results for the applicable period. These measures should not be relied upon as substitutes for, or considered in isolation from, measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP can be found below except for financial guidance and other forward-looking information since such a reconciliation is not practicable without unreasonable efforts as the company is unable to reasonably forecast certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation. This information has been provided pursuant to the requirements of SEC Regulation G.
