Good day everyone and welcome to the Unisys third quarter 2009 results conference call. At this time I’d like to turn the conference over to Mr. Neil Christensen, Vice President of Investor Relations. Please go ahead.

Thank you, operator. Good morning everyone and thank you for joining us about an hour ago Unisys released its third quarter 2009 financial results. With us this morning to discuss our results are Ed Coleman, our CEO and Janet Haugen our CFO. Before we begin I want to cover I want to cover just a few housekeeping details. First, today’s conference call and the Q-and-A session are being Webcast via the Unisys investor website. Second, you can find the earnings press release and the presentation slides that we will be using this morning to guide our discussion on our investor website. These materials are available for viewing as well as downloading and printing. Finally I would like to remind you that all forward-looking statements made during this conference call are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations. These factors are discussed more fully in the earnings release and in the company’s SEC filings. Copies of these SEC reports are available from the SEC and from the Unisys investor website. Now here’s Ed.

Thanks, Neil. Hello everyone and thank you for joining us today to discuss our third quarter 2009 financial results. A year ago we outlined to you a four part turnaround program for Unisys. The four elements of that plan are to concentrate our resources on fewer markets and offerings, create clear differentiated value propositions, ensure we have a highly utilized cost competitive services labor pools and simplify the organization to significantly reduce expenses. The objective is to create a consistently and predictably profitable company that generates free cash flow and one that delivers exceptional levels of customer service. While we recognize we have much more work to do, we’ve made good progress as shown in our third quarter results. Please turn to slide one of the presentations. Our profit margins increased significantly in the quarter, as we continue to make progress in streamlining our operations and reducing our cost base. Our technology business had a good ClearPath quarter was contributed to a strong profit performance. Overall we more than tripled our operating profit over the prior year and reported an operating margin of 10.2% for the quarter. For the second consecutive quarter, the company was solidly profitable. We reported net income of $61 million, which was a $96 million improvement over a $35 million loss a year ago. Equally important we generated free cash flow $46 million in the quarter, through nine months, we are now free cash flow positive and we’ve improved our free cash flow by more than $130 million over the first nine months of 2008. At the top line our revenue declined 12% in the quarter, 7% in constant currency. As we continue to work through a difficult economic environment, we saw positive signs in our orders. Our service orders grew substantially in the third quarter,…

Thanks, Ed and hello everyone. This morning I will take you through our financial results for the quarter. In addition, I will provide a brief update on our pension plans and summarize the results of our debt exchange. Starting with orders, please turn to slide five for an overview of orders in the quarter. Our services orders grew substantially over the year ago quarter and also increased sequentially for the second consecutive quarter. The year-over-year growth including outsourcing contract renewals including a large contract extension at our UK iPSL joint venture, as well as new client outsourcing wins and order increases for federal systems integration projects. Geographically, year-over-year order increases in the U.S., Europe and Latin America were partially offset by order declines in Asia Pacific. The U.S. order gains were driven by growth in U.S. federal orders. We closed the third quarter with $6.4 billion in services backlog, which was up about 8% from the services backlog at June 30. The increase in services backlog was driven by the outsourcing contract renewals and on a constant currency basis, services backlog was up about 6% from June 30. Slide six summarizes our financial results in the quarter. At the top line, we reported revenue of $1.16 billion, a decline of 12% year-over-year. Foreign currency had a five point negative impact on revenue this quarter. On a constant currency basis, revenue was down 7%. Based on today’s rates, we anticipate currency to have a four to five percentage point positive impact on revenue in the fourth quarter of 2009. Total gross profit dollars increased slightly on lower revenue volume. Our overall gross profit margin improved by 420 basis points from a year ago, reflecting more cost efficient services delivery, as well as a stronger mix of high end enterprise server sales…

Thank you, Janet. Operator, we’re now ready to take questions.

(Operator Instructions) Your first question comes from [Sundar] - Citadel Securities.

A few questions; first, Janet, a housekeeping question for you; you talked about the $100 million to $105 million of cash contribution this year. How much have been made to-date and what do you expect for the fourth quarter there?

Roughly half of it has been made through September 30 and the $50 million roughly expected in the fourth quarter.

Seems like this was the best quarter in a long time in the technology business in terms of year-over-year declines, probably in the low single digit levels, do you think you reached an inflection point as far as year-over-year comps are concerned? You did talk about some particular strength in the enterprise server business, especially with the high mix product. How should we look at this going forward? Is this kind of the like the base to build our revenue going forward?

I wouldn’t characterize it as an inflection point. I think it was a strong quarter. ClearPath in particular continues to be an important part of our portfolio, an important part of our customer relationships and the value that we bring to the marketplace. So we’ll continue to develop new versions of ClearPath and market that product as we have in the past. Some quarters will be better than others. This happened to be a very good one.

In terms of margins, clearly that’s kind of bumped up with the mix of fall, but given all the costs that you’ve taken out and assuming a more normalized mix, what should be the kind of right margins to think about in the technology segment?

As you know, we don’t give guidance, so we’ll kind of play it quarter-by-quarter, but I think you’re seeing a commitment on the part of the company to continue to be more cost effective and efficient organization, coupled with strong technology capabilities, but also coupled with an improved and better differentiated services portfolio that I think you’re beginning to see the results of all that come together, not only on the technology side, but equally important, if not more important, on the services side and the margin improvement that you’re seeing there.

Just moving on to the IPSL contract of the 8% sequential growth in backlog, what percent was kind of from the IPSL contract? How much of it was due to that, the order coming being renewed this quarter?

We issued a press release yesterday on the IPSL contract and in there included the contract value of roughly $500 million and so our backlog was $3.6 billion, you can back into that as a percentage of the increase.

So you just, so $500 million of the increase in the backlog came from the IPSL contract?

That’s correct.

Kind of one more question on the IPSL contract, if I remember right, three years ago or four years ago this was kind of highlighted as one of the problem contracts and you guys had to take a lot of action to either move it to a breakeven status or even make it profitable. How does this contract renewal impact the profitability of this project? Are you going to be at or better than breakeven or did this renewal in fact allow you to improve the terms of the contract?

We don’t comment on the profitability of any single contract or operation. You’re right to call this out as one of the contracts we mentioned about three years ago. We have stated over that time period, we continued to move that contract to out of the loss position. It has continued to improve both operationally and with the terms of the contract and we’re pleased with the progress that we’ve made in reducing costs, improving the efficiency of the operations and in terms of the new contract.

What has it improved enough that you would not term it a problem contract anymore?

We’re pleased with our relationship with IPSL and the customers that we support through it and we’re pleased with the renegotiated contract and the extension.

Just one, follow up finally on the CapEx front. If you, clearly, you’ve kind of cut back on CapEx, but as you think about moving back into a growth kind of mode, what do you think is the sustainable CapEx? Do you still think you can run CapEx, significantly below D&A or will we see some form of catch up as we head into 2010?

We haven’t given any guidance with regard to 2010. I just will comment that the goal of this management team is to continue to generate free cash flow as we did in the quarter. We’re proud of having done that in the third quarter and you should expect to see us constrain the capital to make sure that we are generating free cash flow.

Your next question comes from Eric Boyer - Wachovia.

You just going back to the technology segment and you talked about strong results in ClearPath. I was just wondering going into Q3, compared to your plan, did you see any pull through from sales that you were expecting in Q4.

We’ve always said it’s hard in the technology business to call between the third and the fourth quarter. We generally look at the type of transactions that are in the pipeline for the second half and we are pleased with the response the customers have had to the enhancements that we’ve made to the ClearPath product line, to the commitment, to that customer base and we think that it’s a very good quarter, but we don’t want to comment on what we think is going to happen sequentially from the third to the fourth quarter that has to play out as deals close.

Looking at what you’re forecasting I guess for the second half, what was it stronger than kind of that the run rate would be if you kind of split it between the two?

I think you can tell from the margins and the revenue and the fact that it was slightly up that it was a very nice quarter for us from a ClearPath perspective.

I think on the July call, I think you were saying services profitability shouldn’t be as strong as Q2 just because of seasonality. Was that correct?

Yes, it was and you can see that in our gross margins in the services business, which are down sequentially from the second to the third quarter. As I mentioned in my comments, we work very hard to keep the operating expenses down to improve the margins on a year-over-year basis, but we did see the softness as you would expect in the services business and you can see it in the gross margin line.

Then seasonality wise, you typically see Q4 is a little soft as well?

The third quarter is usually the softest quarter in the services business historically for us, because of the amount of vacation time, summertime, both from us and from customers.

Then just a question iPSL deal that you just talked about, what was the original run rate of that deal?

We have not disclosed that. We are disclosing the contract extension of $500 million, but we had not disclosed that previously.

So you never gave a contract amount before?

No.

Then on the revenue front for services, I think before you used to comment about the performance of the 80% of revenue you consider core. Could you just provide some color there?

I don’t think, we’ve ever commented on the particular performance of that element. What we’ve said is that, the four areas of strength that we’ve called out around data center transformation, end user outsourcing, application modernization and security represent about 80% of what we do as a business.

So you won’t comment then on the particular performance of that group?

The point of that comment really is to say, that’s where we’re focusing our resources going forward and focusing our investments is in those four areas of strength. When I say data center transformation, I’m including in that our technology business. So it’s really just part of the strategy that we have in place that to narrow our focus and concentrate our resources more effectively and kind of get some view as to what we consider to be our go forward investment strategy, it’s not a segmentation.

Then on the TSA contract, I think you guys are protesting that award. How’s that impact to revenue stream on the bridge contract?

The protest is separate activity from the bridge contract. We are operating and continue to perform for the customer under that bridge contract through February of 2010. The protest that we and also General Dynamics have protested, does not affect our work during the transition time period.

Would you expect that protest to be resolved before February, 2010?

We can’t comment on that. That’s up to the government process.

Then just looking at 2010, I know you don’t want to give any guidance around that, really, but are you expecting to give any increased amount of guidance on your Q4 call as far as 2010 is concerned?

I don’t believe, so I think we’re going to stay with the position that we’ve had for quite a while now and honestly, we’re focusing on delivering results, letting the results speak for themselves as opposed to getting out in front of ourselves from a guidance standpoint.

Your next question comes from Jeff Harlib - Barclays.

Just on the financial side, can you say what pension income or expense was during the quarter and also if there were any unusual restructuring charges or accrual reversals that impacted the numbers?

On the restructuring charge, let me comment on that first. There was a minimal amount of additional restructuring charge in the quarter, and then as you can also see on the financial statements, we did have in other income expense a loss on the sale of a very small subsidiary. With regard to pension, we had pension income about $5.2 million, that’s relatively consistent and adjusted for currencies as we’ve seen in the other quarters of this year.

Just the additional savings you’re looking for in COGS and SG&A, talk a little about the timing of those actions and the remaining cash restructuring costs.

We spent roughly $10 million in restructuring costs during the quarter. We have continued to work on both the cost reduction actions that we have affected through the P&L right now, and continue going forward. We expect it to be the minimus, relatively $10 million of expenditures going forward and the remaining difference between, for example, the $205 million of annualized savings that we have in SG&A, how we get to the $250 million targets. The cost impact and the cash impact of doing those actions. We’ll announce at a future point in time, when we have finalized the plans and have begun executing against those.

What about on the COGS?

On the cost of goods sold, we mentioned we had $190 million of savings of annualized savings, which we’ve taken actions on. Those actions and the cost of those actions are included in that restructuring estimate that I had given you just a moment ago and the same thing, as we work to finalize the plan between the $190 million and the $250 million, as those become finalized and we begin executing on those we will update you on the year end earnings results call on the cost for that.

I would just add to that. This is an ongoing process for us. I think at the end of the second quarter, we announced that we had taken action on $150 million around cost of service delivery and this quarter we’re announcing debt now up to $190 million. So this is something that we do on an ongoing basis. We’re continuing to stare at that goal of $250 million and working our way towards it.

Maybe you can talk a little bit about, how you’re seeing your customer spending patterns, pipeline, you were down about 7% organically overall in 3Q. Just some thoughts on what you’re seeing both domestically and internationally from your customers?

A couple of comments on that, one, I think as we’ve said at the last call, we felt that our outsourcing business was being impacted by customer concern about our debt load, particularly the debt that was coming due in March of 2010 and questions about signing a four or five year contract with that kind of concerns about our debt. Since the debt exchange was finalized at the end of July. That concern has really gone away. I think you’re seeing that in a revitalized outsourcing business and some new wins and a growing pipeline in the outsourcing business. In our more project oriented business and transaction related business, I think we’re still bouncing along the bottom, but it seems like the pipeline for some of our new offerings is healthy and growing, lots of interest there. So I’m beginning to see some rays of sunshine I think, and some feeling a bit more optimistic about it, but it’s not a straight path to glory. There’s still a lot of work to do and a lot of concerns, economic concerns on the part of our customers and they still have a tendency to down size and defer projects as opposed to accelerate and increase.

Then the TSA contract that’s winding down early 2010, just I think that had been a roughly $250 million of revenue a year. I know it’s probably been phasing down, but any additional color you can give us on the revenues of that contract?

The contract right over the time period has winded down, has decreased in revenue year-over-year. It’s been publicly estimated that from the government that it was $200 million in spend last year and as you would expect moving into transition time period, it would decline, but we don’t want to comment on the exact amount of the revenue, so it’s 2009 or the expectations for 2009, we just want to focus on delivering the service there. We also have been focusing on improving our pipeline in the federal business. So that transitions and contracts happen within the federal government marketplace. We’d like to continue to serve TSA, but we do recognize that that happens and we have been working over a number of months in improving the pipeline and you’ve seen that in the win rate and the revenue increase rate in the rest of the federal business, so that we can position that business to be able to deal with the transition of this account.

So government business was up in a quarter revenues?

Yes, that was up mid single digits.

Last thing, you commented on potential asset sales. Are these non-core asset sales? Are they properties, any additional detail there?

I think we’ll announce those as they occur if they’re of significant size. During the course of the quarter, we exited one country, we exited Thailand. We also exited our financial services business in Italy. I think in second quarter, we sold a small software business, insurance software business called Maxims and there’s some other things that we’re looking at but wouldn’t really describe those or talk about those until there’s something that’s ready to be announced.

Your next question comes from Michael Boam - BlueBay.

You’re quantifies more cash collateral during this quarter. I just wondered why you see that balance topping out and maybe you can give an update on any sort of discussions you’ve had with any lenders regarding a renewal of the revolver.

Let me comment on the cash collateralization. You did see a little bit additional coming in this quarter relative to some new contract wins. We continue to, that is a use of cash because it does collateralize a letter of credit, as we do with anything else, are very judicious about making sure that is only given to deals that can justify that type of return and it’s hard to forecast where that number is going to be. It really depends on the type of deals that are in the pipeline and whether they are good deals to justify that collateralization of the cash. Right now in this quarter we focused on completing the debt exchange and focused on execution and improving our results and increasing our generation of free cash flow on the business and we don’t have anything publicly to comment on with regard to our relationships with the banks or the revolver.

Just in terms of gross margin in the technology business, I mean as far as I can tell it’s the highest margin you’ve ever had. Now, I don’t imagine for one minute that’s likely to be sustainable, but it should we expect to see the technology gross margin improve over time as part of the restructuring program as well?

In the technology margin, you’re right in pointing out that it was a very high quarter for us relatively and that’s why we pointed out that in this quarter, in the revenue and the technology business, we had a higher mix of a very high end ClearPath servers and to the margin in that line can move five points to eight points, just based upon the mix of the high end levels. The margins in technology business over a longer term, a multiyear window, have continued to go down, given the pricing pressure in the industry and so I we’re not expecting that the cost actions that we’re doing are going to influence that margin. It is more influenced by the market condition and the mix of products we sell.

Finally, if I can, the fourth quarter of last year your margins were substantially lower, but I think you took restructuring charges of around $99 million in the quarter. Is it possible that you could give me the adjusted gross margins for the fourth quarter of last year?

We do have that posted on our investor website and we would be more than happy to help you direct you there so you can see the historical information.

Your final question comes from Tony Venturino - Federated Investors.

Talking about the server business, I know you just said that it was mostly due to mix but could you was it due to one big buy or was it kind of consistent through the quarter? Could you give any color on that on how the pace went through the quarter?

When you look at the revenue and you think about the average size of a large high end server, it’s not one deal that drives that it’s multiple deals.

So is this what you say that you’re focusing more on selling the high end and moving away from the low end or is this just kind of customers wanted to buy the high end this quarter?

I would say we’re in the business of selling technology that meets our customer needs and we have some customers that have high end servers in high capacity requirements to support mission critical applications and others that are smaller and this particular quarter it tended to be more on the high end customers had needs for capacity improvements and increases and wanted to take advantage of some of the enhancements that we’ve made to the ClearPath platform. To me, the technology story is really part of our strategy, which is to remind everyone that ClearPath is a modern mainframe and it’s an open system. It runs industry standard hardware, state-of-the-art, supports state-of-the-art middleware, supports state-of-the-art development languages, just happens to run operating systems that are known in the industry for being the most securely, reliable and highest performing operating systems in the industry. So we view this as a modern platform and we think that a number of our customers are looking at supporting their mission critical application and saying this is a terrific platform, Unisys is continuing to enhance it and we’re going to continue to invest in it.

Then moving on to the cost savings, could you maybe give me some color on the permanency of these savings, is this things that are never coming back or maybe as the economy turns around and things pick up, you’ll add certain costs back in?

These are savings that we have taken, cost actions that we have taken to take cost out of the business without the intention of them coming back.

If I can just add to that, much of it is based on simplifying our business, simplifying what we do, where we do it and also simplifying our management structure to support it. So I think there’s been a lot of work done to really eliminate what had been an overly complicated matrix management system that drove a lot of costs and that I can assure you is not coming back.

So basically it is getting rid of a lot of redundancies?

That’s correct.

Final topic, Ed, you had talked about this a little bit earlier, talking about the outsourcing business and customers were reluctant to sign on because of the capital structure. Could you maybe elaborate on that about how that discussion is going with customers today across the business? Then maybe give an idea of the pattern of attrition rates versus conquest and how that’s trending?

I think you can see that trending in services backlog, is the way I would look at that. Janet, you were right in the midst of an awful lot of these conversations with customers and you can probably give some color on what it was before the exchange and after.

I think before the exchange the conversations that I participated with were generally with my counterparts at customers and new customers that we’re thinking about either entering into brand new four to five year contract are extending their existing ones. They knew and felt from their own institutions, the impact of the constrained credit markets and they were concerned about entering into a contract without us having executed against a plan to deal with the 2010 maturities. So the discussions generally were CFO to CFO, Treasurer to Treasurer type conversations, both sides acknowledging that the capital markets and the credit markets are very difficult and trying to understand where we were going to go and how we were going to deal with the maturities upcoming. Those conversations continued all the way through the debt exchange, through the completions of the debt exchange. I’m happy that we have been able to close some of those deals, since some of these new customers win one that Ed mentioned, on his call. Were ready to been having this discussion over a number of months and then once we completed the exchange, the customers had been very happy with their services offering, the differentiations we bring to the market, the new technology like c-RIM offerings that we have. They were just hesitant to sign on the dotted line for a multiyear contract until they saw we made progress on the dealing method 2010 maturities. Once that debt exchange has completed, the conversations have gone from a daily activity to perhaps one or two calls a month.

Janet, you touched on a really important point there. In addition to the stronger balance sheet and the impact on those conversations, I don’t want to underestimate the work that we’ve done in improving the portfolio with some really exciting offerings out there that I think put us back at the forefront of the outsourcing industry, and where it’s headed in support of new support models that clients are looking for in an era of consumerization of IT, greater use of social networking and how that impacts support models across an enterprise. So a lot of exciting works that, I think our customers are recognizing us as a leader for and that coupled with a stronger balance sheet, I think is reenergizing that business.

One last one if I could. That kind of dovetails into what I call the new business model, if you would. It’s the 80% core businesses. Is it fair to say that the other 20% are going away overtime and you’re just going to focus on that 80%?

I wouldn’t say that. I’d say the 20% kind of falls into either a maintain mode or it could possibly fall into divestiture situation, depending on market conditions and the like. The 80% is really saying, this is how we want to represent ourselves to the marketplace. This is truly what we are. This is what we’re best at and this is where we’re going to be putting our new investments in resources to grow the business.

We’ll you now turn it over to our host for any additional comments.

We’ll thank you all very much for participating in the call today. Obviously, you could tell we’re pleased with the performance in Q3, but again, our objective is to create a consistently and predictably profitable company that generates free cash flow and delivers outstanding customer service. So we’ve got a couple of markers now. The last couple of quarters at indicate that we’re on the right path and we’re making progress, but we’re not at the end of this journey by any means and we have much more work ahead of us. I would like to thank everyone for being on the call, for the Unisys employees that are listening in on the call, I’d like to thank you for all your hard work and dedication and look forward to continued effort in Q4 and beyond. Thank you very much.

That does conclude our conference call. Thank you for your participation.
