UNISYS ANNOUNCES SECOND-QUARTER 2006 FINANCIAL RESULTS; COMPANYMAKES SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS IN COST-REDUCTION EFFORTS

Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS) today announced its second-quarter2006 financial results and reported significant progress in itspreviously announced cost-reduction efforts as part of its plan toreposition the company for long-term profitable growth.

Unisys reported a second-quarter 2006 net loss of $194.6 million,or 57 cents per share. The results included a pre-tax charge of $141.2million to cover a planned workforce reduction of approximately 1,900people. These second-quarter 2006 results compared with asecond-quarter 2005 net loss of $27.1 million, or 8 cents per share.Pre-tax pension expense in the second quarter of 2006 was $40.5million compared with pre-tax pension expense of $45.8 million in theyear-ago quarter.

Revenue for the second quarter of 2006 declined 2% to $1.41billion from $1.44 billion in the year-ago quarter.

Comments from President and CEO Joseph W. McGrath

"This was a mixed quarter for Unisys," said Joseph W. McGrath,Unisys president and chief executive officer. "We moved aggressivelyin the quarter to implement planned headcount reductions as part ofour global cost-reduction program. Based on a continuing analysis ofthe business and efforts to reengineer processes, we also identifiedopportunities to reduce our global headcount by an additionalapproximately 1,900 people. These reductions, along with those weannounced in the first quarter of 2006, bring the total number ofplanned worldwide headcount reductions to approximately 5,500. Weexpect these reductions to yield net annualized cost savings of morethan $325 million by the second half of 2007.

"As we implemented these reductions and other elements of ourrepositioning program, we saw short-term disruptions in ouroperations, which impacted our financial results for the quarter,"McGrath said. "We remain confident, however, that the repositioningeffort will significantly enhance our profitability andcompetitiveness over the long term."

McGrath said that of the total 5,500 planned workforce reductions,the company completed approximately 2,200 reductions in the secondquarter, and expects to complete another 1,300 reductions in the thirdquarter of 2006. By the end of 2006, Unisys expects to completeapproximately 90% of the total planned headcount reductions, with theremaining reductions targeted for the first half of 2007. The companyplans to reinvest some of these cost savings into increasedinvestments in its growth initiatives, global sourcing, and employeedevelopment programs. Net of these reinvestments, the company expectsthe headcount actions to yield annualized cost savings in excess of$325 million by the second half of 2007.

"We continue to see 2006 as a transitional year as we work throughour repositioning actions," McGrath said. "As these initiatives takehold, we expect to realize significant benefits in our profitabilityin 2007 and 2008."
