* Revenue grows 6 percent to $1.02 billion; up slightly in constant currency

BLUE BELL, Pa., October 24, 2011 - Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS) today reported

third-quarter 2011 net income from continuing operations of $78.6 million, or

$1.63 per diluted share, compared with third-quarter 2010 net income from

continuing operations of $21.8 million, or 50 cents per diluted share. Revenue

in the third quarter of 2011 grew 6 percent to $1.02 billion compared with $961

million in the year-ago quarter. Foreign currency fluctuations had a positive

impact on revenue in the quarter of almost 6 percentage points.

"This was a strong quarter for Unisys," said Unisys Chairman and CEO Ed Coleman.

"Building on our foundational work to strengthen our competitive and financial

position, we grew both total revenue and services revenue and tripled our

earnings per share from continuing operations. Strong ClearPath sales, continued

growth in our non-U.S. Federal IT outsourcing business, and higher sales of

industry solutions within our system integration business more than offset a

decline in our U.S. Federal business where market conditions remain challenging.

"We remain focused on achieving our strategic financial goals, delivering

innovative products and solutions, and providing consistently high levels of

service quality to our customers," Coleman said.

OVERALL COMPANY AND BUSINESS SEGMENT HIGHLIGHTS

Third-quarter 2011 revenue grew 6 percent year-over-year despite a decline in

the company's U.S. Federal business. Excluding the U.S. Federal business,

overall revenue grew 14 percent when compared to the prior-year period. The

company saw revenue growth in all regions except for Latin America outside of

Brazil. On a constant currency basis, overall third-quarter 2011 revenue was up

slightly over the year-ago period.

Unisys reported a third-quarter 2011 gross profit margin of 27.9 percent, up

from 24.7 percent in the year-ago quarter, primarily reflecting higher sales of

ClearPath software and servers and a more profitable mix of services revenue.

Operating expenses (selling, general and administrative expenses plus research

and development) increased 7 percent, largely attributable to currency

fluctuations. Unisys reported third-quarter 2011 operating income of $113.0

million, or 11.1 percent of revenue, up from operating income of $76.1 million,

or 7.9 percent of revenue, in the third quarter of 2010.

Third-quarter 2011 services revenue increased 2 percent year-over-year despite

lower revenue in the company's U.S. Federal business. Excluding the U.S. Federal

business, services revenue grew 12 percent from the year-ago quarter, driven by

the seventh consecutive quarter of growth in IT outsourcing revenue and by

growth in systems integration revenue in the quarter. Services gross profit

margin improved to 21.6 percent compared with 20.6 percent a year ago while

services operating profit margin improved to 8.7 percent compared with 8.0

percent a year ago.

Services backlog at September 30, 2011 was $5.3 billion, a decrease of 8 percent

from September 30, 2010. Third-quarter services orders showed a low double-digit

year-over-year decline in the quarter, reflecting lower outsourcing and U.S.

Federal orders. Services orders increased mid-single digits sequentially from

the second quarter of 2011.

Third-quarter 2011 technology revenue grew 36 percent year-over-year, driven by

significantly higher sales of ClearPath software and servers. Reflecting the

higher ClearPath sales, technology gross profit margins improved to 57.4 percent

compared with 47.5 percent in the year-ago quarter, while technology operating

profit margin increased to 25.8 percent compared with 7.4 percent a year ago.

CASH FLOW AND BALANCE SHEET HIGHLIGHTS

Unisys generated $94 million of cash from operations in the third quarter of

2011 compared with $127 million in the year-ago quarter. Capital expenditures

in the third quarter of 2011 were $29 million compared with $46 million in the

year-ago quarter. The company generated $65 million of free cash flow (cash

provided by operations less capital expenditures) compared with free cash flow

of $81 million in the year-ago quarter.

At September 30, 2011, Unisys reported $667 million of cash on hand and $445

million of total debt. As part of its debt reduction program, Unisys is calling

for redemption its 8% senior notes due October 2012. The $65.9 million of notes

will be redeemed in accordance with the provisions of the notes.
