Unisys Chairman, Lawrence Weinbach, Says Company is Positioned for Continued Earnings Growth in 2003 New Customer Wins in BPO Underscores Execution of Services-Driven Strategy BLUE BELL, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 10, 2002-- Strengthened by its services-driven, value-added strategy, Unisys Corporation (NYSE:UIS) is on track to achieve its 2002 earnings targets, and will enter 2003 poised for continued earnings growth, margin expansion, and continued growth in its annuity business, the company's chairman told the investment community today. 'We are excited by our performance in 2002,' Unisys Chairman and CEO Lawrence A. Weinbach said. 'Our discipline and focus throughout this tough year have allowed us to deliver consistent performance in a volatile market. So far in the fourth quarter we have won three new multi-year business process outsourcing contracts totaling in excess of $500 million. These wins exemplify our ability to provide total solutions for our customers' needs in a demanding climate.' Speaking at the company's annual financial analysts conference in New York, and to a wider audience on the Internet, Weinbach reviewed the company's accomplishments in 2002, saying the company was on track to achieve its earnings target of 67 to 70 cents per share, significant growth over the 48 cents it earned in 2001 before special items. He said the company's focus on end-to-end solutions capabilities, retooling of its systems integration and consulting business, and market acceptance of CMP-based ClearPath models, contributed to its improved performance. Looking to 2003, Weinbach said that the company expects a gradual improvement in information technology spending. 'For 2003 as a whole, we look for our revenue to show modest single-digit revenue growth, with revenue growth improving over the course of the year. Unisys expects services revenue to be up and technology revenue to be down slightly for the full year. In terms of earnings, Unisys currently looks for full-year 2003 earnings per share growth of about 20% over 2002 levels, despite approximately $45 million less contribution from pension income.' Weinbach said the company has set six strategic objectives for 2003 including to: - Continue double-digit revenue growth in business process outsourcing; - Drive growth in its infrastructure services and security business; - Continue to improve operating margins in the systems integration and consulting business; - Expand the market for ES7000 enterprise servers; - Build market awareness of Unisys; and - Maintain tight cost controls. 'The market is shifting our way,' Weinbach said. 'Clients are demanding services-driven solutions versus technology-driven solutions. They are no longer seeking piecemeal solutions, but rather are looking for integrated, end-to-end solutions. The market need has moved from standalone projects to managed services and from service generalists to industry specialists. With our full line of value-added services and high-end server technology, Unisys is poised to deliver on these client needs.' Weinbach also pointed to security as a major growth opportunity for Unisys. He noted the company's emerging leadership in infrastructure security, including contracts with the Transportation Security Administration and the Department of Defense, and the development of a new, integrated security methodology.
