| |

| |

| |
• | the business and financial risk in implementing future dispositions or acquisitions. |
Any forward-looking statement should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. All forward-looking statements rely on assumptions and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause the company’s actual results to differ materially from expectations. Factors that could affect future results include, but are not limited to, those discussed in "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A of this Form 10-K. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which that statement is made.

PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General
Unisys Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Unisys," "we," "our," the "Company"), is a global information technology (“IT”) company that specializes in providing industry-focused solutions integrated with leading-edge security to clients in the government, commercial and financial services markets. Our offerings include security solutions, advanced data analytics, cloud and infrastructure services, application services and application and server software.
We operate in two business segments – Services and Technology. Financial information concerning the two segments can be found in Note 15, “Segment information,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K) (the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements").
Principal Products and Services
We market and deliver industry-specific solutions, horizontal services and technology products (software and hardware) worldwide to our primary target markets: government (comprising the U.S. federal government and other public sector organizations), commercial (focusing on travel and transportation and life sciences/healthcare) and financial services (including commercial and retail banking).
Our solutions are designed to enable clients to:
| |
• | Transform core business processes to compete more effectively in their market sector; |
| |
• | Improve user engagement for customers and workers, streamline operations and enhance go-to-market efforts; |
| |
• | Optimize IT infrastructure to meet digital-business requirements; |
| |
• | Simplify management of IT infrastructure and service delivery; and |
| |
• | Utilize advanced security capabilities. |
Our industry-specific solutions enable clients to address key challenges in their market sectors — for example, we offer solutions for criminal investigation management and border security in government, travel and transportation and life sciences and healthcare in commercial markets, and commercial and retail banking in financial services.
Our principal services include cloud and infrastructure services, application services, and business process outsourcing services.
| |
• | In cloud and infrastructure services, we help clients apply cloud and as-a-service delivery models to capitalize on business opportunities, make their end users more productive, and manage and secure their IT infrastructure and operations more economically. |
| |
• | In application services, we help clients transform their business processes by providing advanced solutions for select industries, developing and managing new leading-edge applications, offering advanced data analytics and modernizing existing enterprise applications. |
| |
• | In business process outsourcing services, we assume management of critical processes and functions for clients in target industries, helping them improve performance and reduce costs. |
In technology, we design and develop software, servers and related products to help clients reduce costs, improve security and flexibility, and improve the efficiency of their data center environments. As a pioneer in large-scale computing, we offer deep experience and rich technological capabilities in transaction-intensive, mission-critical environments. We provide a range of data center, infrastructure management and cloud computing offerings to help clients virtualize and automate their data-center environments. Technology offerings include ClearPath Forward™ software operating system, the Unisys Stealth® family of security software, industry-focused software such as Digital Investigator™, middleware and servers.
The following are some of our most prominent products:
| |
• | Unisys ClearPath Forward™ is a secure, scalable, hardware-independent software environment for high-volume enterprise computing. ClearPath Forward is available as an integrated operating environment or reference architecture to deliver Unisys security across multiple hardware platforms. In 2016 Unisys began offering hardware-independent versions of the ClearPath operating environment, providing a tested, integrated stack of software products that can run on an Intel x86 server of the client’s choice. |
| |
• | Unisys Stealth® software uses identity-based micro-segmentation techniques and encryption to protect data in data centers, the cloud and mobile infrastructures. Stealth creates segments within an organization where only authorized users can access information, while those without authorization cannot even see that those endpoints exist. Unisys Stealth consists of six distinct solutions: Stealth(core), Stealth(analytics), Stealth(aware), Stealth(cloud), Stealth(identity) and Stealth(mobile). |
| |
• | Digital Investigator™ is a browser-based application for total information management that gives law enforcement and public safety organizations the ability to share information across platforms of new and legacy applications, both in and outside an agency, and to integrate and filter social media information from a vast array of sources. It also gives them the tools necessary to capture, analyze and investigate data seamlessly and collaboratively to help prevent and detect crimes, while enabling robust analytics and cost-effective configuration of reports and other documents. |
| |
• | AirCore is a comprehensive Passenger Services Solutions suite of modular, web-based applications that enables airlines to reach customers across distribution channels including mobile, tablet and web. In doing so, airlines increase their agility in adapting to changing customer demands, while reducing cost. |
| |
• | Unisys Retail Delivery is an integrated, multi-channel, retail banking system that enables banks to perform tasks ranging from processing transactions to enhancing customer service to supporting self-service transactions such as mobile banking. The system includes the Unisys Transaction Manager™ suite of tools, applications and third-party products. |
We market our services and products primarily through a direct sales force. In certain foreign countries, we market primarily through distributors. Complementing our direct sales force, we make use of a select group of resellers and alliance partners to market our services and product portfolio.
Materials
Unisys purchases components and supplies from a number of suppliers around the world. For certain technology products, we rely on a single or limited number of suppliers, although we make every effort to assure that alternative sources are available if the need arises. The failure of our suppliers to deliver components and supplies in sufficient quantities and in a timely manner could adversely affect our business. For more information on the risks associated with purchasing components and supplies, see "Risk Factors" (Part I, Item 1A of this Form 10-K).
Patents, Trademarks and Licenses
As of January 31, 2017, Unisys owns over 827 active U.S. patents and over 90 active patents granted in 11 non-U.S. jurisdictions. These patents cover systems and methods related to a wide variety of technologies, including, but not limited to, information security, cloud computing, virtualization, database encryption/management and user interfaces. We have granted licenses covering both single patents, and particular groups of patents, to others. Likewise, we have active licensing agreements granting us rights under patents owned by other entities. However, our business is not materially dependent upon any single patent, patent license, or related group thereof.
Unisys also maintains 21 U.S. trademark and service mark registrations, and over 706 additional trademark and service mark registrations in over 99 non-U.S. jurisdictions as of January 31, 2017. These marks are valuable assets used on or in connection with our services and products, and as such are actively monitored, policed and protected by Unisys and its agents.
Seasonality
Our revenue is affected by such factors as the introduction of new services and products, the length of sales cycles and the seasonality of purchases. Seasonality has generally resulted in higher fourth quarter revenues than in other quarters.
Customers
No single client accounted for more than 10% of our revenue in the year ended December 31, 2016. Sales of commercial services and products to various agencies of the U.S. government represented approximately 20% of total consolidated revenue in 2016. For more information on the risks associated with contracting with governmental entities, see “Risk Factors” (Part I, Item 1A of this Form 10-K).
Backlog
In the Services segment, firm order backlog at December 31, 2016 was $3.9 billion, compared to $4.3 billion at December 31, 2015. Approximately $1.7 billion (43%) of 2016 backlog is expected to be converted to revenue in 2017. Although we believe that this backlog is firm, we may, for commercial reasons, allow the orders to be cancelled, with or without penalty. In addition, funded government contracts included in this backlog are generally subject to termination, in whole or part, at the convenience
of the government or if funding becomes unavailable. In such cases, we are generally entitled to receive payment for work completed plus allowable termination or cancellation costs.
Because of the relatively short cycle between order and shipment in our Technology segment, we believe that backlog information for this segment is not material to the understanding of our business.
Competition
Our business is affected by rapid change in technology in the information services and technology industries and aggressive competition from many domestic and foreign companies. Principal competitors are systems integrators, consulting and other professional services firms, outsourcing providers, infrastructure services providers, computer hardware manufacturers and software providers. We compete primarily on the basis of service, product performance, technological innovation, and price. We believe that our continued focused investment in engineering and research and development, coupled with our sales and marketing capabilities, will have a favorable impact on our competitive position. For more information on the competitive risks we face, see “Risk Factors” (Part I, Item 1A of this Form 10-K).
Research and Development
Unisys-sponsored research and development costs were $55.4 million in 2016, $76.4 million in 2015, and $68.8 million in 2014.
Environmental Matters
Our capital expenditures, earnings and competitive position have not been materially affected by compliance with federal, state and local laws regulating the protection of the environment. Capital expenditures for environmental control facilities are not expected to be material in 2017 and 2018.
Employees
At December 31, 2016, we employed approximately 21,000 employees serving clients around the world.
International and Domestic Operations
We serve clients around the world, including multinational clients with operations in several regions. For the year ended December 31, 2016, approximately one-half of our revenue was derived from the United States and Canada, and the remainder was derived from Europe, the Middle East and Africa; Asia and the Pacific region; and Latin America.
Financial information by geographic area is set forth in Note 15, “Segment information,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. For more information on the risks of doing business internationally, see “Risk Factors” (Part I, Item 1A of this Form 10-K).

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Factors that could affect future results include the following:
Future results may be adversely impacted if the company is unable to improve revenue and margins in its services business.
The company's strategy places an emphasis on an industry vertical go-to-market approach with an increased focus within the company’s services business on higher value and higher margin offerings. The company’s ability to grow revenue and profitability in this business will depend on the level of demand for projects and the portfolio of solutions the company offers for specific industries. It will also depend on an efficient utilization of services delivery personnel. Revenue and profit margins in this business are a function of both the portfolio of solutions sold in a given period and the rates the company is able to charge for services and the chargeability of its professionals. If the company is unable to attain sufficient rates and chargeability for its professionals, revenue and profit margins will be adversely affected. The rates the company is able to charge for services are affected by a number of factors, including clients’ perception of the company’s ability to add value through its services; introduction of new services or products by the company or its competitors; pricing policies of competitors; and general economic conditions. Chargeability is also affected by a number of factors, including the company’s ability to transition resources from completed projects to new engagements, and its ability to forecast demand for services and thereby maintain appropriate resource levels. The company’s results of operations and financial condition may be adversely impacted if sales of higher margin offerings do not offset declines resulting from a reduced focus on lower margin offerings.
Future results may be adversely impacted if the company is unable to maintain its installed base and sell new products in its technology business.
The company continues to invest in its ClearPath Forward™ operating system software in order to improve its renewal rate with existing clients in its Technology business. If clients do not believe in the value proposition provided by ClearPath Forward™ or choose not to renew their contracts for any other reason, there may not be a meaningful return on these investments, and revenue could decline meaningfully. The company also continues to invest in its Stealth® family of software, as well as in industry-specific software for its target sectors and focus industries. If the company is unsuccessful in selling these Stealth® products or industry-specific software and related services, there may not be a meaningful return on these investments. Further, the revenues generated by Stealth® and other new software and related services may be insufficient to offset any revenue declines caused if the company is unable to retain its installed base.
The company’s future results may be adversely impacted if it is unable to effectively anticipate and respond to volatility and rapid technological innovation in its industry.
The company operates in a highly volatile industry characterized by rapid technological innovation, evolving technology standards, short product life cycles and continually changing customer demand patterns. Future success will depend in part on the company’s ability to anticipate and respond to these market trends and to design, develop, introduce, deliver or obtain new and innovative services and products on a timely and cost-effective basis using new delivery models such as cloud computing. The company may not be successful in anticipating or responding to changes in technology, industry standards or customer preferences, and the market may not demand or accept its services and product offerings. In addition, services and products developed by competitors may make the company’s offerings less competitive.
If the company is unable to access the financing markets, it may adversely impact the company’s business and liquidity.
Market conditions may impact the company’s ability to access the financing markets on terms acceptable to the company or at all. If the company is unable to access the financing markets, the company would be required to use cash on hand to fund operations and repay outstanding debt, including the company’s remaining 6.25% senior notes due August 15, 2017 and repay any amounts it may borrow under the company’s secured revolving credit facility. There is no assurance that the company will be able to generate sufficient cash to fund its operations and refinance such debt. A failure by the company to generate such cash would have a material adverse effect on its business if the company were unable to access financing markets. Additionally, even if the company is able to generate sufficient cash to refinance such debt, the company may need to delay the completion of its remaining cost reduction initiatives in some jurisdictions and cash available to the company for working capital and other corporate uses could be reduced. Market conditions may also impact the company’s ability to utilize surety bonds, letters of credit, foreign exchange derivatives or other financial instruments the company uses to conduct its business.
In addition, the company has had, and continues to have, discussions regarding potential debt and other financing transactions with a variety of sources and on a variety of structures and terms. There is no assurance that the company will consummate a transaction with any potential financing sources or what the terms of any such transaction would be.
The company has significant pension obligations and may be required to make additional significant cash contributions to its defined benefit pension plans.
The company has significant unfunded obligations under its U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans. In 2016, the company made cash contributions of $132.5 million to its worldwide defined benefit pension plans. Based on current legislation, global regulations, recent interest rates and expected returns, in 2017 the company estimates that it will make cash
contributions to its worldwide defined benefit pension plans of approximately $127.7 million, which are comprised of approximately $54.4 million for the company’s U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan and approximately $73.3 million primarily for non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans. Although estimates for future cash contributions are likely to change based on a number of factors including market conditions, changes in discount rates and, with respect to the company’s international plans, changes in currency rates, the company currently expects to be required to make cash contributions to its worldwide defined benefit pension plans in 2017 in an amount similar to its contributions in 2016. The company also currently anticipates that its required cash contributions will increase in 2018 and beyond.
Deterioration in the value of the company’s worldwide defined benefit pension plan assets, as well as discount rate changes or changes in economic or demographic trends, could require the company to make cash contributions to its defined benefit pension plans in the future in an amount larger than currently anticipated. In addition, the funding of non-U.S. plan deficits over a shorter period of time than currently anticipated could result in making cash contributions to these plans on a more accelerated basis. Increased cash contribution requirements or an acceleration in the due date of such cash contributions would reduce the cash available for working capital, capital expenditures and other corporate uses and may have an adverse impact on the company’s operations, financial condition and liquidity.
The company’s future results may be adversely affected if the company does not realize additional anticipated cost savings or is unable to successfully implement its cost reduction initiatives to drive efficiencies across all of its operations.
In recent years, the company has implemented significant cost-reduction measures and a long-term business strategy to create a more competitive cost structure, simplify its operations and rebalance the company’s global skill set. While the company currently expects to generate additional anticipated cost savings by the conclusion of the program in 2017, there can be no assurance that the company will achieve these savings goals and it expects that it will have to make additional investments in order to do so. In addition, if the company does not manage any related headcount reductions or other cost-cutting measures effectively or timely or is unable to provide services more cost-efficiently, the company’s ability to implement its long-term business strategy could be adversely impacted and it could materially affect the company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
The company’s future results will depend on its ability to retain significant clients.
The company has a number of significant long-term contracts with clients, including governmental entities, and its future success will depend, in part, on retaining its relationships with these clients. The company could lose clients for reasons such as contract expiration, conversion to a competing service provider, dissatisfaction with the company’s efficiency initiatives, disputes with clients or a decision to in-source services, including contracts with governmental entities as part of the rebid process. The company could also lose clients as a result of their merger, acquisition or business failure. The company may not be able to replace the revenue and earnings from any such lost client.
The company faces aggressive competition in the information services and technology marketplace, which could lead to reduced demand for the company’s services and products and could have an adverse effect on the company’s business.
The information services and technology markets in which the company operates include a large number of companies vying for customers and market share both domestically and internationally. The company’s competitors include consulting and other professional services firms, systems integrators, outsourcing providers, infrastructure services providers, computer hardware manufacturers and software providers. Some of the company’s competitors may develop competing services and products that offer better price-performance or that reach the market in advance of the company’s offerings. Some competitors also have or may develop greater financial and other resources than the company, with enhanced ability to compete for market share, in some instances through significant economic incentives to secure contracts. Some also may be better able to compete for skilled professionals. Any of these factors could lead to reduced demand for the company’s services and products and could have an adverse effect on the company’s business. Future results will depend on the company’s ability to mitigate the effects of aggressive competition on revenues, pricing and margins and on the company’s ability to attract and retain talented people.
Cybersecurity breaches could result in the company incurring significant costs and could harm the company’s business and reputation.
The company’s business includes managing, processing, storing and transmitting proprietary and confidential data, including personal information, intellectual property and proprietary business information, within the company’s own IT systems and those that the company designs, develops, hosts or manages for clients. Cybersecurity breaches involving these systems by hackers, other third parties or the company’s employees, despite established security controls, could disrupt these systems or result in the loss or corruption of data or the unauthorized disclosure or misuse of information of the company, its clients or others. This could result in claims, investigations, litigation and legal liability for the company, lead to the loss of existing or potential clients and adversely affect the market’s perception of the security and reliability of the company’s services and products. In addition, such breaches could subject the company to fines and penalties for violations of laws and result in the company incurring other significant costs. This may negatively impact the company’s reputation and financial results.
If the company is unable to attract, motivate and retain experienced and knowledgeable personnel in key positions, its future results could be adversely impacted.
The success of the company’s business is dependent upon its ability to employ and train individuals with the requisite knowledge, skills and experience to execute the company’s business model and achieve its business objectives. The failure of the company to retain key personnel or implement an appropriate succession plan could adversely impact the company’s ability to successfully carry out its business strategy and retain other key personnel.
A significant portion of the company’s revenue is derived from operations outside of the United States, and the company is subject to the risks of doing business internationally.
A significant portion of the company’s total revenue is derived from international operations. The risks of doing business internationally include foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, currency restrictions and devaluations, changes in political or economic conditions, trade protection measures, import or export licensing requirements, multiple and possibly overlapping and conflicting tax laws, new tax legislation, weaker intellectual property protections in some jurisdictions and additional legal and regulatory compliance requirements applicable to businesses that operate internationally, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and non-U.S. laws and regulations.
The company’s contracts may not be as profitable as expected or provide the expected level of revenues.
In a number of the company’s long-term services contracts, the company’s revenue is based on the volume of services and products provided. As a result, revenue levels anticipated at the contract’s inception are not guaranteed. In addition, some of these contracts may permit termination at the customer’s discretion before the end of the contract’s term or may permit termination or impose other penalties if the company does not meet the performance levels specified in the contracts.
The company’s contracts with governmental entities are subject to the availability of appropriated funds. These contracts also contain provisions allowing the governmental entity to terminate the contract at the governmental entity’s discretion before the end of the contract’s term. In addition, if the company’s performance is unacceptable to the customer under a government contract, the government retains the right to pursue remedies under the affected contract, which remedies could include termination.
Certain of the company’s services agreements require that the company’s prices be benchmarked if the customer requests it and provide that those prices may be adjusted downward if the pricing for similar services in the market has changed. As a result, revenues anticipated at the beginning of the terms of these contracts may decline in the future.
Some of the company’s services contracts are fixed-price contracts under which the company assumes the risk for delivery of the contracted services and products at an agreed-upon fixed price. Should the company experience problems in performing fixed-price contracts on a profitable basis, adjustments to the estimated cost to complete may be required. Future results will depend on the company’s ability to perform these services contracts profitably.
The company’s contracts with U.S. governmental agencies may subject the company to audits, criminal penalties, sanctions and other expenses and fines.
The company frequently enters into contracts with governmental entities. U.S. government agencies, including the Defense Contract Audit Agency and the Department of Labor, routinely audit government contractors. These agencies review a contractor’s performance under its contracts, cost structure and compliance with applicable laws, regulations and standards. The U.S. government also may review the adequacy of, and a contractor’s compliance with, contract terms and conditions, and its systems and policies, including the contractor’s purchasing, property, estimating, billing, accounting, compensation and management information systems. Any costs found to be overcharged or improperly allocated to a specific contract or any amounts improperly billed or charged for products or services will be subject to reimbursement to the government. In addition, government contractors, such as the company, are required to disclose credible evidence of certain violations of law and contract overcharging to the federal government. If the company is found to have participated in improper or illegal activities, the company may be subject to civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including termination of contracts, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines and suspension or prohibition from doing business with the U.S. government. Any negative publicity related to such contracts, regardless of the accuracy of such publicity, may adversely affect the company’s business or reputation.
A significant disruption in the company’s IT systems could adversely affect the company’s business and reputation.
We rely extensively on our IT systems to conduct our business and perform services for our clients. Our systems are subject to damage or interruption from power outages, telecommunications failures, computer viruses and malicious attacks, cybersecurity breaches and catastrophic events. If our systems are accessed without our authorization, damaged or fail to function properly, we could incur substantial repair or replacement costs, experience data loss and impediments to our ability to conduct our business, and damage the market’s perception of our services and products. In addition, a disruption could result in the company failing to meet performance standards and obligations in its client contracts, which could subject the company to liability, penalties and contract termination. This may adversely affect the company’s reputation and financial results.
The company may face damage to its reputation or legal liability if its clients are not satisfied with its services or products.
The success of the company’s business is dependent on strong, long-term client relationships and on its reputation for responsiveness and quality. As a result, if a client is not satisfied with the company’s services or products, its reputation could be damaged and its business adversely affected. Allegations by private litigants or regulators of improper conduct, as well as negative publicity and press speculation about the company, whatever the outcome and whether or not valid, may harm its reputation. In addition to harm to reputation, if the company fails to meet its contractual obligations, it could be subject to legal liability, which could adversely affect its business, operating results and financial condition.
Future results will depend in part on the performance and capabilities of third parties with whom the company has commercial relationships.
The company maintains business relationships with suppliers, channel partners and other parties that have complementary products, services or skills. Future results will depend, in part, on the performance and capabilities of these third parties, on the ability of external suppliers to deliver components at reasonable prices and in a timely manner, and on the financial condition of, and the company’s relationship with, distributors and other indirect channel partners, which can affect the company’s capacity to effectively and efficiently serve current and potential customers and end users.
A termination of the company’s U.S. defined benefit pension plan would adversely affect the company’s financial condition and results of operations.
As of December 31, 2016, the company had approximately $1.52 billion of unfunded pension obligations under its U.S. defined benefit pension plan. The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the “PBGC”) has authority under the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, to terminate an underfunded defined benefit pension plan under certain circumstances, including when (1) the plan has not met the minimum funding requirements, (2) the plan cannot pay current benefits when due, or (3) the loss to the PBGC is reasonably expected to increase unreasonably over time if the plan is not terminated. If the PBGC were to terminate the company’s U.S. defined benefit pension plan, the company’s obligations with respect to such plan would become due and payable in full. Any such event or the failure by the company to pay its pension plan insurance premiums with respect to its U.S. defined benefit pension plan could result in the PBGC obtaining a lien on the company’s assets. Such an event would result in an event of default under the company’s debt agreements and would materially and adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
The company’s business can be adversely affected by global economic conditions, acts of war, terrorism or natural disasters.
The company’s financial results have been impacted by the global economic slowdown in recent years. If economic conditions worsen, the company could see reductions in demand and increased pressure on revenue and profit margins. The company could also see a further consolidation of clients, which could also result in a decrease in demand. The company’s business could also be affected by acts of war, terrorism or natural disasters. Current world tensions could escalate, and this could have unpredictable consequences on the world economy and on the company’s business.
The company’s services or products may infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others.
The company cannot be sure that its services and products do not infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties, and it may have infringement claims asserted against it or against its clients. These claims could cost the company money, prevent it from offering some services or products, or damage its reputation.
Pending litigation could affect the company’s results of operations or cash flow.
There are various lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings that have been brought or asserted against the company, which arise in the ordinary course of business, including actions with respect to commercial and government contracts, labor and employment, employee benefits, environmental matters, intellectual property and non-income tax matters. See Note 14, "Litigation and contingencies," of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on litigation. The company believes that it has valid defenses with respect to legal matters pending against it. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, however, and it is possible that the company’s results of operations or cash flows could be materially affected in any particular period by the resolution of one or more of the legal matters pending against it.
The company could face business and financial risk in implementing future dispositions or acquisitions.
As part of the company’s business strategy, it may from time to time consider disposing of existing technologies, products and businesses that may no longer be in alignment with its strategic direction, including transactions of a material size, or acquiring complementary technologies, products and businesses. Potential risks with respect to dispositions include difficulty finding buyers or alternative exit strategies on acceptable terms in a timely manner; potential loss of employees or clients; dispositions at unfavorable prices or on unfavorable terms, including relating to retained liabilities; and post-closing indemnity claims. Any acquisitions may result in the incurrence of substantial additional indebtedness or contingent liabilities. Acquisitions could also result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities and an increase in amortization expenses related to intangible assets. Additional potential risks associated with acquisitions include integration difficulties; difficulties in maintaining or enhancing the profitability of any acquired business; risks of entering markets in which the company has no or limited prior experience;
potential loss of employees or failure to maintain or renew any contracts of any acquired business; and expenses of any undiscovered or potential liabilities of the acquired product or business, including relating to employee benefits contribution obligations or environmental requirements. Further, with respect to both dispositions and acquisitions, management’s attention could be diverted from other business concerns. Adverse credit conditions could also affect the company’s ability to consummate dispositions or acquisitions. The risks associated with dispositions and acquisitions could have a material adverse effect upon the company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that the company will be successful in consummating future dispositions or acquisitions on favorable terms or at all.
Other factors discussed in this report, although not listed here, also could materially affect our future results.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
In April 2015, in connection with organizational initiatives to create a more competitive cost structure and rebalance the company’s global skill set, the company initiated a plan to incur restructuring charges currently estimated at approximately $300 million through 2017. During 2016 and 2015, the company recognized charges of $82.1 million and $118.5 million, respectively, in connection with this plan, principally related to a reduction in employees. As of the end of 2016, the company has recognized total restructuring charges of $200.6 million.
The company reported a 2016 net loss attributable to Unisys Corporation of $47.7 million, or a loss of $0.95 per diluted share, compared with a 2015 net loss attributable to Unisys Corporation of $109.9 million, or a loss of $2.20 per diluted share. The company’s results of operations in the current year primarily reflect lower cost reduction charges, lower pension expense, higher sales of and margins on the company's proprietary enterprise software and servers and savings due to cost reduction actions, partially offset by higher interest and income tax expense.
The company’s underfunded defined benefit pension plan obligations increased by approximately $210 million to $2.17 billion at December 31, 2016 from $1.96 billion at December 31, 2015, principally due to a decrease in discount rates.
Results of operations

Foreign currency had a 4-percentage-point negative impact on international revenue in 2016 compared with 2015, and a 12-percentage-point negative impact on international revenue in 2015 compared with 2014. Revenue from U.S. operations was $1.31 billion in 2016, $1.45 billion in 2015 and $1.38 billion in 2014.
Gross profit as a percent of total revenue, or gross profit percent, was 19.8% in 2016, 17.9% in 2015 and 23.2% in 2014. The increase in 2016 from 2015 was principally due to higher sales of the company's proprietary enterprise software and servers in the current year, lower pension expense of $17.3 million, and lower cost reduction charges of $10.2 million. The decline in 2015 from 2014 was due to the cost reduction charges of $52.6 million, higher pension expense of $27.7 million and lower margins in both the Services and Technology segments.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $455.6 million in 2016 (16.2% of revenue), $519.6 million in 2015 (17.2% of revenue) and $554.1 million in 2014 (16.5% of revenue). The decline in 2016 reflects lower cost reduction charges of $15.5 million, lower pension expense of $5.4 million and savings due to cost reduction actions.
Research and development (R&D) expenses in 2016 were $55.4 million compared with $76.4 million in 2015 and $68.8 million in 2014. Cost reduction charges of $1.7 million were recorded in 2016 compared with $12.4 million in 2015. Exclusive of these charges and lower pension expense of $3.3 million, the decline principally reflects savings due to cost reduction actions.
In 2016, the company reported an operating profit of $47.6 million compared with an operating loss of $55.1 million in 2015 and an operating profit of $154.9 million in 2014. Current year profit principally reflects lower cost reduction charges, lower pension expense, higher sales of and margins on the company's proprietary enterprise software and servers and benefits derived from the cost reduction actions.
Pension expense for 2016 was $82.7 million compared with $108.7 million in 2015 and $73.8 million in 2014. For 2017, the company expects to recognize pension expense of approximately $98.0 million. The expected increase in pension expense in 2017 compared with 2016 is principally due to higher amortization of net actuarial losses. The company records pension income or expense, as well as other employee-related costs such as payroll taxes and medical insurance costs, in operating income in the following income statement categories: cost of revenue; selling, general and administrative expenses; and research and development expenses. The amount allocated to each category is based on where the salaries of active employees are charged.
Interest expense was $27.4 million in 2016, $11.9 million in 2015 and $9.2 million in 2014. The increase in 2016 compared with 2015 was principally caused by the issuance of convertible notes (see Note 9, "Debt," of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).
Other income (expense), net was income of $0.3 million in 2016, compared with income of $8.2 million in 2015 and expense of $0.2 million in 2014. Included in 2016 was a loss on debt extinguishment of $4.0 million. Foreign exchange gains were $2.3 million in 2016 compared with gains in 2015 of $8.1 million and losses of $7.0 million in 2014.
Income (loss) before income taxes in 2016 was income of $20.5 million compared with a loss of $58.8 million in 2015 and income of $145.5 million in 2014. Income before income taxes in 2016 primarily reflects lower cost reduction charges, lower pension expense, higher sales of and margins on the company's proprietary enterprise software and servers and savings due to cost reduction actions, partially offset by higher interest expense.
The provision for income taxes in 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $57.2 million, $44.4 million and $86.2 million, respectively. In 2016, 2015 and 2014, the provision for income taxes includes a benefit (provision) of $16.4 million, $5.4 million and $(7.0) million, respectively, related to changes in judgment on the realizability of certain of its deferred tax assets. The 2016 and 2015 income tax provisions include a charge of $3.5 million and $9.1 million, respectively, due to reductions in the UK income tax rate (see Note 7, "Income taxes," of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).
The company evaluates quarterly the realizability of its deferred tax assets by assessing its valuation allowance and by adjusting the amount of such allowance, if necessary. The company will record a tax provision or benefit for those international subsidiaries that do not have a full valuation allowance against their deferred tax assets. Any profit or loss recorded for the company’s U.S. operations will have no provision or benefit associated with it due to its full valuation allowance, except with respect to refundable tax credits and withholding taxes not creditable against future taxable income. As a result, the company’s provision or benefit for taxes may vary significantly period to period depending on the geographic distribution of income.
The realization of the company’s net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2016 is primarily dependent on forecasted future taxable income within certain foreign jurisdictions. Any reduction in estimated forecasted future taxable income may require the company to record an additional valuation allowance against the remaining deferred tax assets. Any increase or decrease in the valuation allowance would result in additional or lower income tax expense in such period and could have a significant impact on that period’s earnings.
Net income (loss) attributable to Unisys Corporation common shareholders for 2016 was a loss of $47.7 million, or a loss of $0.95 per diluted common share, compared with a loss of $109.9 million, or $2.20 per diluted common share, in 2015 and income of $44.0 million, or $0.89 per diluted common share, in 2014.
Segment results
The company has two business segments: Services and Technology. Revenue classifications within the Services segment are as follows:
| |
• | Cloud and infrastructure services. This represents revenue from helping clients apply cloud and as-a-service delivery models to capitalize on business opportunities, make their end users more productive, and manage and secure their IT infrastructure and operations more economically. |
| |
• | Application services. This represents revenue from helping clients transform their business processes by providing advanced solutions for select industries, developing and managing new leading-edge applications, offering advanced data analytics and modernizing existing enterprise applications. |
| |
• | Business process outsourcing (BPO) services. This represents revenue from the management of critical processes and functions for clients in target industries, helping them improve performance and reduce costs. |
The accounting policies of each business segment are the same as those followed by the company as a whole. Intersegment sales and transfers are priced as if the sales or transfers were to third parties. Accordingly, the Technology segment recognizes intersegment revenue and manufacturing profit on software and hardware shipments to customers under Services contracts. The Services segment, in turn, recognizes customer revenue and marketing profits on such shipments of company software and hardware to customers. The Services segment also includes the sale of software and hardware products sourced from third parties that are sold to customers through the company’s Services channels. In the company’s consolidated statements of income, the manufacturing costs of products sourced from the Technology segment and sold to Services customers are reported in cost of revenue for Services.
Also included in the Technology segment’s sales and operating profit are sales of software and hardware sold to the Services segment for internal use in Services engagements. The amount of such profit included in operating income of the Technology segment for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $0.7 million, $9.2 million and $17.0 million, respectively. The profit on these transactions is eliminated in Corporate.
The company evaluates business segment performance based on operating income exclusive of pension income or expense, restructuring charges and unusual and nonrecurring items, which are included in Corporate. All other corporate and centrally incurred costs are allocated to the business segments based principally on revenue, employees, square footage or usage. See Note 15, "Segment information," of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

In the Services segment, customer revenue was $2.4 billion in 2016, $2.6 billion in 2015 and $2.8 billion in 2014. Foreign currency fluctuations had a 2-percentage-point negative impact on revenue in 2016 compared with 2015.
Revenue from cloud & infrastructure services was $1.4 billion in 2016 down 10.6% compared with 2015, and 2015 was down 11.2% from 2014. Foreign currency fluctuations had a 1-percentage-point negative impact on cloud & infrastructure services revenue in the current period compared with the year-ago period.
Application services revenue decreased 1.1% for 2016 compared with 2015, and 2015 was up 6.0% compared with 2014. Foreign currency fluctuations had a 3-percentage-point negative impact on application services revenue in the current period compared with the year-ago period.
Business processing outsourcing services revenue decreased 13.1% in 2016 compared with 2015, and was down 14.3% in 2015 compared with 2014. Foreign currency fluctuations had an 8-percentage-point negative impact on business processing outsourcing services revenue in the current period compared with the year-ago period.
Services gross profit percent was 16.2% in 2016 compared with 15.8% in 2015 and 17.4% in 2014. The increase in gross profit percent from 2015 to 2016 principally reflects the company's ongoing efforts to enhance efficiency in the Services business. Services operating income percent was 1.9% in 2016 compared with 2.3% in 2015 and 3.4% in 2014. Operating profit margin in 2016 was impacted by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses related to ongoing investments in improving the company's capabilities.
In the Technology segment, customer revenue increased 1.2% to $414.4 million in 2016 compared with $409.5 million in 2015. Revenue in 2015 decreased 28.2% compared with 2014. The increase in Technology customer revenue is due to higher sales of the company's proprietary enterprise software and servers in 2016. Foreign currency translation had a 1-percentage-point negative impact on Technology revenue in 2016 compared with 2015.
Technology gross profit was 59.9% in 2016 compared with 55.3% in both 2015 and 2014. Technology operating income percent was 37.0% in 2016 compared with 24.8% in 2015 and 21.9% in 2014. The increase in gross profit and operating income percentage in 2016 compared with 2015 principally reflects increased sales of the company's proprietary enterprise software and servers in the current period coupled with savings due to cost reduction actions.
New accounting pronouncements
See Note 5, "Recent accounting pronouncements and accounting changes," of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a full description of recent accounting pronouncements, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on the company’s consolidated financial statements.
Financial condition
The company’s principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash from operations and its revolving credit facility, discussed below. The company and certain international subsidiaries have access to uncommitted lines of credit from various banks. The company believes that it will have adequate sources of liquidity to meet its expected 2017 cash requirements.
Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2016 were $370.6 million compared with $365.2 million at December 31, 2015.
As of December 31, 2016, $262.3 million of cash and cash equivalents were held by the company’s foreign subsidiaries and branches operating outside of the U.S. In the future, if these funds are needed for the company’s operations in the U.S., it is expected the company would be required to pay taxes on only a limited portion of this balance. See Note 7, "Income taxes," of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements regarding the company’s intention to indefinitely reinvest earnings of foreign subsidiaries.
During 2016, cash provided by operations was $218.2 million compared with cash provided by operations of $1.2 million in 2015. The current period was positively impacted by a lower net loss, improved working capital and a decrease in contributions to the company's defined benefit pension plans. During 2016, the company contributed cash of $132.5 million to such plans
compared with $148.3 million during 2015. This was partially offset by a $15.5 million increase in cash used for cost reduction actions.
Cash used for investing activities in 2016 was $182.2 million compared with cash usage of $177.9 million in 2015. Net purchases of investments in 2016 were $34.1 million compared with net proceeds of $25.4 million in 2015. Proceeds from investments and purchases of investments represent derivative financial instruments used to manage the company’s currency exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. In addition, capital additions of properties were $32.5 million in 2016 compared with $49.6 million in 2015, capital additions of outsourcing assets were $51.3 million in 2016 compared with $102.0 million in 2015 and the investment in marketable software was $63.3 million in 2016 compared with $62.1 million in 2015. The decrease in capital additions of properties and outsourcing assets were reflective of the company's shift to a more asset-lite business model.
Cash used for financing activities during 2016 was $16.7 million compared with cash provided by financing activities of $90.6 million in 2015. During 2016, the company issued $213.5 million of its 5.50% convertible senior notes. In connection with the issuance of the notes, the company paid $ $27.3 million to enter into privately negotiated capped call transactions with the initial purchasers and/or affiliates of the initial purchasers. The Company also retired $115.0 million of its 6.25% senior notes and paid down $65.8 million of short-term borrowings related to its revolving credit facility in 2016. See Note 9, "Debt," of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Included in 2015 were proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt of $31.8 million and net proceeds of short-term borrowings of $65.8 million under the company's revolving credit agreement.
At December 31, 2016, total debt was $300.0 million compared with $310.5 million at December 31, 2015. The decrease was principally caused by the repurchase of $115.0 million of its 6.25% senior notes and repayment of borrowings under its revolving credit facility partially offset by the issuance of $213.5 million of its 5.50% convertible senior notes.
The company has a secured revolving credit facility, expiring in June 2018, that provides for loans and letters of credit up to an aggregate amount of $150.0 million (with a limit on letters of credit of $100.0 million). At December 31, 2016, the company had no borrowings and $11.3 million of letters of credit outstanding under this facility. Borrowing limits under the facility are based upon the amount of eligible U.S. accounts receivable. At December 31, 2016, availability under the facility was $102.5 million net of letters of credit issued. Borrowings under the facility bear interest based on short-term rates. The credit agreement contains customary representations and warranties, including that there has been no material adverse change in the company’s business, properties, operations or financial condition. The company is required to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio if the availability under the credit facility falls below the greater of 12.5% of the lenders’ commitments under the facility and $18.75 million. The credit agreement allows the company to pay dividends on its capital stock in an amount up to $22.5 million per year unless the company is in default and to, among other things, repurchase its equity, prepay other debt, incur other debt or liens, dispose of assets and make acquisitions, loans and investments, provided the company complies with certain requirements and limitations set forth in the agreement. Events of default include non-payment, failure to comply with covenants, materially incorrect representations and warranties, change of control and default under other debt aggregating at least $50.0 million. The credit facility is guaranteed by Unisys Holding Corporation, Unisys NPL, Inc., Unisys AP Investment Company I and any future material domestic subsidiaries. The facility is secured by the assets of Unisys Corporation and the subsidiary guarantors, other than certain excluded assets. The company may elect to prepay or terminate the credit facility without penalty.
At December 31, 2016, the company has met all covenants and conditions under its various lending and funding agreements. The company expects to continue to meet these covenants and conditions.
At December 31, 2016, the company had outstanding standby letters of credit and surety bonds totaling approximately $298 million related to performance and payment guarantees. On the basis of experience with these arrangements, the company believes that any obligations that may arise will not be material.
As described more fully in Notes 3, "Cost reduction actions," 9, "Debt," and 11, "Rental expense and commitments," of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, at December 31, 2016, the company had certain cash obligations, which are due as follows:

In connection with the company’s aforementioned cost reduction actions, the company currently estimates cash expenditures for this program to be approximately $280 million through 2019, approximately $74 million and $59 million of which were
made in 2016 and 2015, respectively. The company currently expects to generate annualized net cost savings (principally related to workforce reductions) of approximately $230 million exiting 2017.
As described in Note 16, "Employee plans," of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, in 2017, the company expects to make cash contributions to its worldwide defined benefit pension plans of approximately $127.7 million, which is comprised of $73.3 million primarily for non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans and $54.4 million for the company’s U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan.
The company maintains a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission that covers the offer and sale of up to $700.0 million of debt or equity securities. Subject to the company’s ongoing compliance with securities laws, the company may offer and sell debt and equity securities from time to time under the shelf registration statement.
In addition, from time to time the company has explored, and expects to continue to explore, a variety of debt and equity sources and a variety of structures and terms to refinance its 6.25% senior notes and to fund its liquidity and capital needs. There is no assurance that the company will consummate a transaction with any potential financing sources or what the terms of any such transaction would be.
The company may, from time to time, redeem, tender for, or repurchase its securities in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions depending upon availability, market conditions and other factors.
Critical accounting policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Certain accounting policies, methods and estimates are particularly important because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ from management’s current judgments. The company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances; however, to the extent there are material differences between these estimates, judgments and assumptions and actual results, the financial statements will be affected. Although there are a number of accounting policies, methods and estimates affecting the company’s financial statements as described in Note 1, "Summary of significant accounting policies," of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the following critical accounting policies reflect the significant estimates, judgments and assumptions. The development and selection of these critical accounting policies have been determined by management of the company and the related disclosures have been reviewed with the Audit and Finance Committee of the Board of Directors.
Revenue recognition
Many of the company’s sales agreements contain standard business terms and conditions; however, some agreements contain multiple elements or non-standard terms and conditions. As discussed in Note 1, "Summary of Significant accounting policies," of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the company enters into multiple-element arrangements, which may include any combination of hardware, software or services. As a result, significant contract interpretation is sometimes required to determine the appropriate accounting, including whether the deliverables specified in a multiple-element arrangement should be treated as separate units of accounting for revenue recognition purposes, and, if so, how the price should be allocated among the elements and when to recognize revenue for each element. The company recognizes revenue on delivered elements only if: (a) any undelivered services or products are not essential to the functionality of the delivered services or products, (b) the company has an enforceable claim to receive the amount due in the event it does not deliver the undelivered services or products, (c) there is evidence of the selling price for each undelivered service or product, and (d) the revenue recognition criteria otherwise have been met for the delivered elements. Otherwise, revenue on delivered elements is recognized as the undelivered elements are delivered. For arrangements with multiple elements involving the licensing or sale of software and software-related elements, the allocation of revenue is based on vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE), which is based upon normal pricing and discounting practices for those services and products when sold separately. The company’s continued ability to determine VSOE of fair value will depend on continued sufficient volumes and sufficient consistent pricing of stand-alone sales of such undelivered elements. In addition, the company’s revenue recognition policy states that revenue is not recognized until collectability is deemed probable. Changes in judgments on these assumptions and estimates could materially impact the timing of revenue recognition.
For long-term fixed price systems integration contracts, the company recognizes revenue and profit as the contracts progress using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, which relies on estimates of total expected contract revenues and costs. The company follows this method because reasonably dependable estimates of the revenue and costs applicable to various elements of a contract can be made. The financial reporting of these contracts depends on estimates, which are assessed continually during the term of the contracts and therefore, recognized revenues and profit are subject to revisions as the contract progresses to completion. Revisions in profit estimates are reflected in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known. Accordingly, favorable changes in estimates result in additional revenue and profit recognition, and unfavorable changes in estimates result in a reduction of recognized revenue and profit. When estimates indicate that a loss will
be incurred on a contract upon completion, a provision for the expected loss is recorded in the period in which the loss becomes evident. As work progresses under a loss contract, revenue continues to be recognized, and a portion of the contract costs incurred in each period is charged to the contract loss reserve. For other systems integration projects, the company recognizes revenue when the services have been performed.
In addition to outright sales, the company sells hardware under bundled lease arrangements which typically include hardware, services and a financing component. Recognizing revenue under these arrangements requires the company to allocate the total consideration received to the lease and non-lease deliverables included in the bundled arrangement, based upon the estimated fair values of each element.
Outsourcing
Typically, the initial terms of the company’s outsourcing contracts are between 3 and 5 years. Revenue under these contracts is recognized when the company performs the services or processes transactions in accordance with contractual performance standards. Customer prepayments (even if nonrefundable) are deferred (classified as a liability) and recognized systematically as revenue over the initial contract term.
Costs on outsourcing contracts are charged to expense as incurred. However, direct costs incurred related to the inception of an outsourcing contract (principally initial customer setup) are deferred and charged to expense over the initial contract term. In addition, the costs of equipment and software, some of which are internally developed, are capitalized and depreciated over the shorter of their life or the initial contract term.
Recoverability of outsourcing assets is subject to various business risks. Quarterly, the company compares the carrying value of the outsourcing assets with the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the outsourcing assets to determine if the assets are impaired. If impaired, the outsourcing assets are reduced to an estimated fair value on a discounted cash flow approach. The company prepares its cash flow estimates based on assumptions that it believes to be reasonable but are also inherently uncertain. Actual future cash flows could differ from these estimates.
Income Taxes
Accounting rules governing income taxes require that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between the book and tax bases of recorded assets and liabilities. These rules also require that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized.
At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the company had deferred tax assets in excess of deferred tax liabilities of $2,224.5 million and $2,139.3 million, respectively. For the reasons cited below, at December 31, 2016 and 2015, management determined that it is more likely than not that $139.9 million and $114.4 million, respectively, of such assets will be realized, resulting in a valuation allowance of $2,084.6 million and $2,024.9 million, respectively.
The company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets by assessing its valuation allowance and by adjusting the amount of such allowance, if necessary. The factors used to assess the likelihood of realization are the company’s historical profitability, forecast of future taxable income and available tax-planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the net deferred tax assets. The company uses tax-planning strategies to realize or renew net deferred tax assets to avoid the potential loss of future tax benefits. Failure to achieve forecasted taxable income might affect the ultimate realization of the net deferred tax assets. Factors that may affect the company’s ability to achieve sufficient forecasted taxable income include, but are not limited to, the following: increased competition, a decline in sales or margins, loss of market share, delays in product availability or technological obsolescence. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”
Internal Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383 provide annual limitations with respect to the ability of a corporation to utilize its net operating loss (as well as certain built-in losses) and tax credit carryforwards, respectively ("Tax Attributes"), against future U.S. taxable income, if the corporation experiences an “ownership change.” In general terms, an ownership change may result from transactions increasing the ownership of certain stockholders in the stock of a corporation by more than 50 percentage points over a three-year period. The company regularly monitors ownership changes (as calculated for purposes of Section 382). The company has determined that, for purposes of the rules of Section 382 described above, an ownership change occurred in February 2011. Any future transaction or transactions and the timing of such transaction or transactions could trigger additional ownership changes under Section 382.
As a result of the February 2011 ownership change, utilization for certain of the company’s Tax Attributes, U.S. net operating losses and tax credits, is subject to an overall annual limitation of $70.6 million. The cumulative limitation as of December 31, 2016 is approximately $307.0 million. This limitation will be applied first to any recognized built in losses, then to any net operating losses, and then to any other Tax Attributes. Any unused limitation may be carried over to later years. Based on presently available information and the existence of tax planning strategies, the company does not expect to incur a U.S. cash tax liability in the near term. The company maintains a full valuation allowance against the realization of all U.S. deferred tax assets as well as certain foreign deferred tax assets in excess of deferred tax liabilities. See Note 7, "Income taxes," of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
The company’s provision for income taxes and the determination of the resulting deferred tax assets and liabilities involve a significant amount of management judgment and are based on the best information available at the time. The company operates within federal, state and international taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. These audits can involve complex issues, which may require an extended period of time to resolve. As a result, the actual income tax liabilities in the jurisdictions with respect to any fiscal year are ultimately determined long after the financial statements have been published.
Accounting rules governing income taxes also prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The company maintains reserves for estimated tax exposures including penalties and interest. Income tax exposures include potential challenges of intercompany pricing and other tax matters. Exposures are settled primarily through the settlement of audits within these tax jurisdictions, but can also be affected by changes in applicable tax law or other factors, which could cause management of the company to believe a revision of past estimates is appropriate. Management believes that an appropriate liability has been established for estimated exposures; however, actual results may differ materially from these estimates. The liabilities are reviewed quarterly for their adequacy and appropriateness. See Note 7, "Income taxes," of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Pensions
Accounting rules governing defined benefit pension plans require that amounts recognized in financial statements be determined on an actuarial basis. The measurement of the company’s pension obligations, costs and liabilities is dependent on a variety of assumptions selected by the company and used by the company’s actuaries. These assumptions include estimates of the present value of projected future pension payments to plan participants, taking into consideration the likelihood of potential future events such as salary increases and demographic experience. The assumptions used in developing the required estimates include the following key factors: discount rates, salary growth, retirement rates, inflation, expected return on plan assets and mortality rates.
As permitted for purposes of computing pension expense, the company uses a calculated value of plan assets (which is further described below). This allows the effects of the performance of the pension plan’s assets on the company’s computation of pension income or expense to be amortized over future periods. A substantial portion of the company’s pension plan assets relates to its qualified defined benefit plan in the United States.
A significant element in determining the company’s pension income or expense is the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets. The company sets the expected long-term rate of return based on the expected long-term return of the various asset categories in which it invests. The company considers the current expectations for future returns and the actual historical returns of each asset class. Also, because the company’s investment policy is to actively manage certain asset classes where the potential exists to outperform the broader market, the expected returns for those asset classes are adjusted to reflect the expected additional returns. For 2017, the company has assumed that the expected long-term rate of return on U.S. plan assets will be 6.80%, and on the company’s non-U.S. plan assets will be 5.30%. A change of 25 basis points in the expected long-term rate of return for the company’s U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans causes a change of approximately $9 million and $6 million, respectively, in pension expense. The assumed long-term rate of return on assets is applied to a calculated value of plan assets, which recognizes changes in the fair value of plan assets in a systematic manner over four years. This produces the expected return on plan assets that is included in pension income or expense. The difference between this expected return and the actual return on plan assets is deferred. The net deferral of past asset gains or losses affects the calculated value of plan assets and, ultimately, future pension income or expense. At December 31, 2016, for the company’s U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan, the calculated value of plan assets was $3.61 billion and the fair value was $3.45 billion.
At the end of each year, the company determines the discount rate to be used to calculate the present value of plan liabilities. The discount rate is an estimate of the current interest rate at which the pension liabilities could be effectively settled at the end of the year. In estimating this rate, the company looks to rates of return on high-quality, fixed-income investments that (a) receive one of the two highest ratings given by a recognized ratings agency and (b) are currently available and expected to be available during the period to maturity of the pension benefits. At December 31, 2016, the company determined this rate to be 4.38% for its U.S. defined benefit pension plans, a decrease of 18 basis points from the rate used at December 31, 2015, and 2.34% for the company’s non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans, a decrease of 96 basis points from the rate used at December 31, 2015. A change of 25 basis points in the U.S. and non-U.S. discount rates causes a change in pension expense of approximately $1 million and $2 million, respectively, and a change of approximately $118 million and $135 million, respectively, in the benefit obligation. These estimates are intended to be illustrative based on a single 25 basis point change. The sensitivity to rate changes is not linear and additional changes in rates may result in a different impact on the pension liability. The net effect of changes in the discount rate, as well as the net effect of other changes in actuarial assumptions and experience, has been deferred, as permitted.
Funding requirements for its U.S. qualified pension plan are calculated by the plan’s actuaries based on certain assumptions including, as permitted under the Bi-partisan Budget Act of 2015, a discount rate constrained to be within 10% of the 25-year average of the relevant rates. The effect of this limitation is that the funding discount rate is higher than the GAAP discount rate
applied for balance sheet purposes, and the liability is therefore lower. In addition, this constraint mitigates the effect of changes in market interest rates on the funding discount rate and the funding liability. Changes to the benefit obligation caused by a 25 basis point change noted above are related to the balance sheet obligation and are not necessarily indicative of the impact on the funding liability.
Gains and losses are defined as changes in the amount of either the projected benefit obligation or plan assets resulting from experience different from that assumed and from changes in assumptions. Because gains and losses may reflect refinements in estimates as well as real changes in economic values and because some gains in one period may be offset by losses in another and vice versa, the accounting rules do not require recognition of gains and losses as components of net pension cost of the period in which they arise.
At a minimum, amortization of an unrecognized net gain or loss must be included as a component of net pension cost for a year if, as of the beginning of the year, that unrecognized net gain or loss exceeds 10 percent of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or the calculated value of plan assets. If amortization is required, the minimum amortization is that excess above the 10 percent divided by the average remaining life expectancy of the plan participants. For the company’s U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan and the company’s non-U.S. pension plans, that period is approximately 19 and 26 years, respectively. At December 31, 2016, the estimated unrecognized loss for the company’s U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan and the company’s non-U.S. pension plans was $2.64 billion and $1.07 billion, respectively.
For the year ended December 31, 2016, the company recognized consolidated pension expense of $82.7 million, compared with $108.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. For 2017, the company expects to recognize pension expense of approximately $98.0 million. See Note 16, "Employee plans," of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Goodwill
Accounting rules governing goodwill require a company test goodwill for impairment at least annually, as well as whenever there are events or changes in circumstances (triggering events) which suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
When determining the fair value of a reporting unit, as appropriate for the individual reporting unit, the company uses both an income and market approach. The methodology used to determine the fair values using the income and market approaches, as described below, are weighted to determine the fair value for each reporting unit.
The income approach is a forward-looking approach to estimating fair value and relies primarily on internal forecasts. Within the income approach, the method used is the discounted cash flow method. The company starts with a forecast of all expected net cash flows associated with the reporting unit, which includes the application of a terminal value, and then a reporting unit-specific discount rate is applied to arrive at a net present value amount. Some of the more significant estimates and assumptions inherent in this approach include the amount and timing of projected net cash flows, long term growth rate and the discount rate. Cash flow projections are based on management's estimates of economic and market conditions, which drive key assumptions of revenue growth rates, operating margins, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. The discount rate in turn is based on various market factors and specific risk characteristics of each reporting unit.
The market approach relies primarily on external information for estimating the fair value. Some of the more significant estimates and assumptions inherent in this approach include the selection of appropriate guideline companies and the selected performance metric used in this approach.
Estimating the fair value of reporting units requires the use of estimates and significant judgments about key assumptions. There are a number of factors including potential events and changes in circumstances that could change in future periods, including: projected operating results; valuation multiples exhibited by the company and by companies considered comparable to the reporting units; and other macro-economic factors that could impact the discount rate. It is reasonably possible that the judgments and estimates described above could change in future periods.
Goodwill by reporting unit at December 31, 2016, was as follows (dollars in millions):
|
| | | |
Reporting unit | Carrying value of goodwill at December 31, 2016 |
Cloud and infrastructure |
| $32.8 |
|
Application services | 26.6 |
|
Business process outsourcing | 10.5 |
|
Technology | 108.7 |
|
Total | 178.6 |
|
As a result of the impairment review work, the company concluded that none of its goodwill was impaired as of December 31, 2016, and does not believe that any of its reporting units are at risk of failing step one of the impairment test since all reporting unit fair values were substantially in excess of carrying value as of the last impairment test.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest rate risk
The company has exposure to interest rate risk from its short-term and long-term debt. In general, the company’s long-term debt is fixed rate and, to the extent it has any, its short-term debt is variable rate. See Note 9, “Debt,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for components of the company’s long-term debt. The company believes that the market risk assuming a hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates would not be material to the fair value of these financial instruments, or the related cash flows, or future results of operations.
Market risk
As of December 31, 2016, the company has outstanding $213.5 million of Convertible Senior Notes due 2021 and $95.0 million of Senior Notes due 2017. The interest rates on these notes are fixed and therefore do not expose the company to risk related to rising interest rates. As of December 31, 2016, the fair value of the Convertible Senior Notes was $379.8 million. In connection with the offering of the Convertible Senior Notes, the company paid $27.3 million to purchase a capped call covering approximately 21.9 million shares of the company's common stock. If the price per share of the company's common stock is below $9.76, these capped call transactions would provide no benefit from potential dilution. If the price per share of the company's common stock is above $12.75, then to the extent of the excess, these capped call transactions would result in no additional benefit for potential dilution at conversion.
Foreign currency exchange rate risk
The company is also exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risks. The company is a net receiver of currencies other than the U.S. dollar and, as such, can benefit from a weaker dollar, and can be adversely affected by a stronger dollar relative to currencies worldwide. Accordingly, changes in exchange rates, and in particular a strengthening of the U.S. dollar, may adversely affect consolidated revenue and operating margins as expressed in U.S. dollars. Currency exposure gains and losses are mitigated by purchasing components and incurring expenses in local currencies.
In addition, the company uses derivative financial instruments, primarily foreign exchange forward contracts, to reduce its exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates on intercompany balances. See Note 12, "Financial instruments and concentration of credit risks," of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the company’s derivative financial instruments.
The company has performed a sensitivity analysis assuming a hypothetical 10% adverse movement in foreign currency exchange rates applied to these derivative financial instruments described above. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the analysis indicated that such market movements would have reduced the estimated fair value of these derivative financial instruments by approximately $36 million and $17 million, respectively. Based on changes in the timing and amount of interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate movements and the company’s actual exposures and hedges, actual gains and losses in the future may differ from the above analysis.

The management of the company is responsible for the integrity of its financial statements. These statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and include amounts based on the best estimates and judgments of management. Financial information included elsewhere in this report is consistent with that in the financial statements.
KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the company’s financial statements. Its accompanying report is based on an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
The Board of Directors, through its Audit and Finance Committee, which is composed entirely of independent directors, oversees management’s responsibilities in the preparation of the financial statements and selects the independent registered public accounting firm, subject to stockholder ratification. The Audit and Finance Committee meets regularly with the independent registered public accounting firm, representatives of management, and the internal auditors to review the activities of each and to assure that each is properly discharging its responsibilities. To ensure complete independence, the internal auditors and representatives of KPMG LLP have full access to meet with the Audit and Finance Committee, with or without management representatives present, to discuss the results of their audits and their observations on the adequacy of internal controls and the quality of financial reporting.
Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The management of the company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Unisys Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Unisys Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, deficit and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2016. We also have audited Unisys Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Unisys Corporation’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Unisys Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2016, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, Unisys Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

UNISYS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in millions, except share and per share amounts)
Note 1 — Summary of significant accounting policies
Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all majority-owned subsidiaries.
Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Such estimates include the valuation of accounts receivable, inventories, outsourcing assets, marketable software, goodwill and other long-lived assets, legal contingencies, indemnifications, assumptions used in the measurement of progress toward completion for systems integration projects, income taxes and retirement and other post-employment benefits, among others. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods.
Cash equivalents All short-term investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less and certificates of deposit which may be withdrawn at any time at the discretion of the company without penalty are classified as cash equivalents.
Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out method.
Properties Properties are carried at cost and are depreciated over the estimated lives of such assets using the straight-line method. The estimated lives used, in years, are as follows: buildings, 20 – 50; machinery and office equipment, 4 – 7; rental equipment, 4; and internal-use software, 3 – 10.
Advertising costs All advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The amount charged to expense during 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $2.7 million, $4.9 million and $8.0 million, respectively.
Shipping and handling Costs related to shipping and handling is included in cost of revenue.
Goodwill Goodwill arising from the acquisition of an entity represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the acquired identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the entity recognized at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is initially recognized as an asset and is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is held in the currency of the acquired entity and revalued to the closing rate at each balance sheet date.
The company tests goodwill for impairment annually in the fourth quarter using data as of September 30th of that year, as well as whenever there are events or changes in circumstances (triggering events) that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of one or more reporting units below its respective carrying amount. The impairment assessment involves a two-step test. In step one, the company compares the fair value of each of its reporting units to their respective carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds fair value, then step two of the impairment test is performed to determine if the implied fair value of the goodwill of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of that goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting unit is zero or negative, the second step of the impairment test shall be performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any, when it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In this evaluation a company is required to take into consideration certain qualitative factors and whether there are significant differences between the carrying value and the estimated fair value of its assets and liabilities, and the existence of significant unrecognized intangible assets. Goodwill is impaired when the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds its implied value. Impaired goodwill is written down to its implied fair value through a charge to the consolidated statement of income in the period the impairment is identified.
We estimate the fair value of each reporting unit using a combination of the income approach and market approach.
The income approach incorporates the use of a discounted cash flow method in which the estimated future cash flows and terminal values for each reporting unit are discounted to present value. Cash flow projections are based on management's estimates of economic and market conditions, which drive key assumptions of revenue growth rates, operating margins, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. The discount rate in turn is based on various market factors and specific risk characteristics of each reporting unit.
The market approach estimates fair value by applying performance metric multiples to the reporting unit's prior and expected operating performance. The multiples are derived from comparable publicly traded companies with similar operating and investment characteristics as the reporting unit.
If the fair value of the reporting unit derived using the income approach is significantly different from the fair value estimate using the market approach, the company reevaluates its assumptions used in the two models. When considering the weighting between the market approach and income approach, we gave more weighting to the income approach. The higher weighting assigned to the income approach took into consideration that the guideline companies used in the market approach generally represent larger diversified companies relative to the reporting units and may have different long term growth prospects, among other factors.
In order to assess the reasonableness of the calculated reporting unit fair values, the company also compares the sum of the reporting units' fair values to its market capitalization (per share stock price multiplied by shares outstanding) and calculates an implied control premium (the excess of the sum of the reporting units' fair values over the market capitalization).
Estimating the fair value of reporting units requires the use of estimates and significant judgments that are based on a number of factors including actual operating results. It is reasonably possible that the judgments and estimates described above could change in future periods.
Revenue recognition Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable.
Revenue from hardware sales with standard payment terms is recognized upon the passage of title and the transfer of risk of loss. Outside the United States, the company recognizes revenue even if it retains a form of title to products delivered to customers, provided the sole purpose is to enable the company to recover the products in the event of customer payment default and the arrangement does not prohibit the customer’s use of the product in the ordinary course of business.
Revenue from software licenses with standard payment terms is recognized at the inception of the initial license term and upon execution of an extension to the license term.
The company also enters into multiple-element arrangements, which may include any combination of software, hardware, or services. For example, a client may purchase an enterprise server that includes operating system software. In addition, the arrangement may include post-contract support for the software and a contract for post-warranty maintenance for service of the hardware. These arrangements consist of multiple deliverables, with software and hardware delivered in one reporting period and the software support and hardware maintenance services delivered across multiple reporting periods. In another example, the company may provide desktop managed services to a client on a long term multiple year basis and periodically sell software and hardware products to the client. The services are provided on a continuous basis across multiple reporting periods and the software and hardware products are delivered in one reporting period. To the extent that a deliverable in a multiple-deliverable arrangement is subject to specific guidance, that deliverable is accounted for in accordance with such specific guidance. Examples of such arrangements may include leased hardware which is subject to specific leasing guidance or software which is subject to specific software revenue recognition guidance.
In these transactions, the company allocates the total revenue to be earned under the arrangement among the various elements based on a selling price hierarchy. The selling price for a deliverable is based on its vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) if available, third party evidence (TPE) if VSOE is not available, or the best estimated selling price (ESP) if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. VSOE of selling price is based upon the normal pricing and discounting practices for those services and products when sold separately. TPE of selling price is based on evaluating largely similar and interchangeable competitor products or services in standalone sales to similarly situated customers. ESP is established considering factors such as margin objectives, discounts off of list prices, market conditions, competition and other factors. ESP represents the price at which the company would transact for the deliverable if it were sold by the company regularly on a standalone basis.
As mentioned above, some of the company’s multiple-element arrangements may include leased hardware which is subject to specific leasing guidance. Revenue under these arrangements is allocated considering the relative selling prices of the lease and non-lease elements. Lease deliverables include hardware, financing, maintenance and other executory costs, while non-lease deliverables generally consist of non-maintenance services. The determination of the amount of revenue allocated to the lease deliverables begins by allocating revenue to maintenance and other executory costs plus a profit thereon. These elements are generally recognized over the term of the lease. The remaining amounts are allocated to the hardware and financing elements. The amount allocated to hardware is recognized as revenue monthly over the term of the lease for those leases which are classified as operating leases and at the inception of the lease term for those leases which are classified as sales-type leases. The amount of finance income attributable to sales-type leases is recognized on the accrual basis using the effective interest method.
For multiple-element arrangements that involve the licensing, selling or leasing of software, for software and software-related elements, the allocation of revenue is based on VSOE. There may be cases in which there is VSOE of fair value of the undelivered elements but no such evidence for the delivered elements. In these cases, the residual method is used to allocate the arrangement consideration. Under the residual method, the amount of consideration allocated to the delivered elements equals the total arrangement consideration less the aggregate VSOE of fair value of the undelivered elements.
For multiple-element arrangements that include services or products that (a) do not include the licensing, selling or leasing of software, or (b) contain software that is incidental to the services or products as a whole or (c) contain software components that are sold, licensed or leased with tangible products when the software components and non-software components (i.e., the software and hardware) of the tangible product function together to deliver the tangible product’s essential functionality (e.g., sales of the company’s enterprise-class servers including software and hardware), or some combination of the above, the allocation of revenue is based on the relative selling prices of each of the deliverables in the arrangement based on the selling price hierarchy, discussed above.
For multiple-element arrangements that include both software and non-software deliverables, the company allocates arrangement consideration to the software group and to the non-software group based on the relative selling prices of the deliverables in the arrangement based on the selling price hierarchy discussed above. For the software group, arrangement consideration is further allocated using VSOE as described above.
The company recognizes revenue on delivered elements only if: (a) any undelivered services or products are not essential to the functionality of the delivered services or products, (b) the company has an enforceable claim to receive the amount due in the event it does not deliver the undelivered services or products, (c) there is evidence of the selling price for each undelivered service or product, and (d) the revenue recognition criteria otherwise have been met for the delivered elements. Otherwise, revenue on delivered elements is recognized as the undelivered elements are delivered. The company evaluates each deliverable in an arrangement to determine whether it represents a separate unit of accounting. A delivered element constitutes a separate unit of accounting when it has standalone value and there is no customer-negotiated refund or return right for the delivered elements. If these criteria are not met, the deliverable is combined with the undelivered elements and the allocation of the arrangement consideration and revenue recognition are determined for the combined unit as a single unit.
Revenue from hardware sales and software licenses with extended payment terms is recognized as payments from customers become due (assuming that all other conditions for revenue recognition have been satisfied).
Revenue for operating leases is recognized on a monthly basis over the term of the lease and for sales-type leases at the inception of the lease term.
Revenue from equipment and software maintenance and post-contract support is recognized on a straight-line basis as earned over the terms of the respective contracts. Cost related to such contracts is recognized as incurred.
Revenue and profit under systems integration contracts are recognized either on the percentage-of-completion method of accounting using the cost-to-cost method, or when services have been performed, depending on the nature of the project. For contracts accounted for on the percentage-of-completion basis, revenue and profit recognized in any given accounting period are based on estimates of total projected contract costs. The estimates are continually reevaluated and revised, when necessary, throughout the life of a contract. Any adjustments to revenue and profit resulting from changes in estimates are accounted for in the period of the change in estimate. When estimates indicate that a loss will be incurred on a contract upon completion, a provision for the expected loss is recorded in the period in which the loss becomes evident.
Revenue from time and materials service contracts and outsourcing contracts is recognized as the services are provided using either an objective measure of output or on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract.
Income taxes Income taxes are based on income before taxes for financial reporting purposes and reflect a current tax liability for the estimated taxes payable in the current-year tax returns and changes in deferred taxes. Deferred tax assets or liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax laws and rates. A valuation allowance is provided on deferred tax assets if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized. The company recognizes penalties and interest accrued related to income tax liabilities in provision for income taxes in its consolidated statements of income.
Marketable software The cost of development of computer software to be sold or leased, incurred subsequent to establishment of technological feasibility, is capitalized and amortized to cost of sales over the estimated revenue-producing lives of the products, but not in excess of three years following product release. The company performs quarterly reviews to ensure that unamortized costs remain recoverable from future revenue.
Internal-use software The company capitalizes certain internal and external costs incurred to acquire or create internal-use software, principally related to software coding, designing system interfaces, and installation and testing of the software. These costs are amortized in accordance with the fixed asset policy described above.
Outsourcing assets Costs on outsourcing contracts are generally expensed as incurred. However, certain costs incurred upon initiation of an outsourcing contract (principally initial customer setup) are deferred and expensed over the initial contract life. Fixed assets and software used in connection with outsourcing contracts are capitalized and depreciated over the shorter of the initial contract life or in accordance with the fixed asset policy described above.
Recoverability of outsourcing assets is subject to various business risks. Quarterly, the company compares the carrying value of the outsourcing assets with the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the outsourcing assets to determine
if there is impairment. If impaired, the outsourcing assets are reduced to an estimated fair value on a discounted cash flow basis. The company prepares its cash flow estimates based on assumptions that it believes to be reasonable but are also inherently uncertain. Actual future cash flows could differ from these estimates.
Translation of foreign currency The local currency is the functional currency for most of the company’s international subsidiaries, and as such, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates during the year. Translation adjustments resulting from changes in exchange rates are reported in other comprehensive income (loss). Exchange gains and losses on intercompany balances are reported in other income (expense), net.
For those international subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies, the U.S. dollar is the functional currency, and as such, nonmonetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical exchange rates, and monetary assets and liabilities are translated at current exchange rates. Exchange gains and losses arising from translation are included in other income (expense), net.
Stock-based compensation plans Stock-based compensation represents the cost related to stock-based awards granted to employees and directors. The company recognizes compensation expense for the fair value of stock options, which have graded vesting, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The company estimates the fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes valuation model. The expense is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Retirement benefits Accounting rules covering defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefits require that amounts recognized in financial statements be determined on an actuarial basis. A significant element in determining the company’s retirement benefits expense or income is the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets. This expected return is an assumption as to the average rate of earnings expected on the funds invested or to be invested to provide for the benefits included in the projected pension benefit obligation. The company applies this assumed long-term rate of return to a calculated value of plan assets, which recognizes changes in the fair value of plan assets in a systematic manner over four years. This produces the expected return on plan assets that is included in retirement benefits expense or income. The difference between this expected return and the actual return on plan assets is deferred. The net deferral of past asset losses or gains affects the calculated value of plan assets and, ultimately, future retirement benefits expense or income.
At December 31 of each year, the company determines the fair value of its retirement benefits plan assets as well as the discount rate to be used to calculate the present value of plan liabilities. The discount rate is an estimate of the interest rate at which the retirement benefits could be effectively settled. In estimating the discount rate, the company looks to rates of return on high-quality, fixed-income investments currently available and expected to be available during the period to maturity of the retirement benefits. The company uses a portfolio of fixed-income securities, which receive at least the second-highest rating given by a recognized ratings agency.
Fair value measurements Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, the company assumes that the transaction is an orderly transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period before the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets or liabilities; it is not a forced transaction (for example, a forced liquidation or distress sale). The fair value hierarchy has three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the company can access at the measurement date; Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The company has applied fair value measurements to its long-term debt (see note 12), derivatives (see note 12) and to its postretirement plan assets (see note 16).
Noncontrolling interest The company owns a fifty-one percent interest in Intelligent Processing Solutions Ltd. (iPSL), a U.K. business processing outsourcing joint venture. The remaining interests, which are reflected as a noncontrolling interest in the company’s financial statements, are owned by three financial institutions for which iPSL performs services.

In 2016, the following weighted-average number of common shares issuable upon conversion of the 5.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2021 were antidilutive and therefore excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share (in thousands): 17,230. In 2014, the following weighted-average mandatory convertible preferred stock was antidilutive and therefore excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share (in thousands): 1,171.
Note 3 — Cost reduction actions
In 2015, in connection with organizational initiatives to create a more competitive cost structure and rebalance the company’s global skill set, the company initiated a plan to incur restructuring charges currently estimated at approximately $300 million through 2017.
During 2015, the company recognized charges of $118.5 million in connection with this plan, principally related to a reduction in employees. The charges related to work-force reductions were $78.8 million and were comprised of: (a) a charge of $27.9 million for 700 employees in the U.S. and (b) a charge of $50.9 million for 782 employees outside the U.S. In addition, the company recorded charges of $39.7 million comprised of $20.2 million for asset impairments and $19.5 million for other expenses related to the cost reduction effort. The charges were recorded in the following statement of income classifications: cost of revenue – services, $52.3 million; cost of revenue – technology, $0.3 million; selling, general and administrative expenses, $53.5 million; and research and development expenses, $12.4 million.
During 2016, the company recognized charges of $82.1 million in connection with this plan. The charges related to work-force reductions were $62.6 million, principally related to severance costs, and were comprised of: (a) a charge of $7.0 million for 351 employees in the U.S. and (b) a charge of $55.6 million for 1,048 employees outside the U.S. In addition, the company recorded charges of $19.5 million comprised of $0.7 million for net asset sales and write-offs, $5.5 million for idle leased facilities and contract amendment and termination costs and $13.3 million for professional fees and other expenses related to the cost reduction effort. The charges were recorded in the following statement of income classifications: cost of revenue - services, $42.4 million; selling, general and administrative expenses, $38.0 million; and research and development expenses, $1.7 million.

Note 4 — Goodwill
During the fourth quarter of 2016, the company performed its annual impairment test of goodwill for all of our reporting units. The fair values of each of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values; therefore, no goodwill impairment was required.
At December 31, 2016, the amount of goodwill allocated to reporting units with negative net assets was as follows: Business Processing Outsourcing Services, $10.5.

Note 5 — Recent accounting pronouncements and accounting changes
Effective January 1, 2016, the company adopted new guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") on the presentation of debt issuance costs. The new guidance requires that debt issuance costs shall be reported in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the face amount of that debt. Previously the company reported these costs in “Other long-term assets” in the company’s consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2015, the amount reclassified was $1.8 million. The new guidance has been applied on a retrospective basis whereby prior-period financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the application of the new guidance, as required by the FASB.
Effective January 1, 2016, the company adopted new guidance issued by the FASB that simplifies the measurement of inventory. The new guidance states that an entity should measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimate of estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. When evidence exists that the net realizable value of inventory is lower than its cost, the difference shall be recognized as a loss in the period in which it occurs. That loss may be required, for example, due to damage, physical deterioration, obsolescence, changes in price levels, or other causes. Adoption of this new guidance had no impact on the company’s consolidated results of operations and financial position.
Effective January 1, 2016, the company adopted new guidance issued by the FASB that simplifies the balance sheet classification of deferred income taxes. The new guidance requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The new guidance also requires companies to offset all deferred tax assets and liabilities (and valuation allowances) for each tax-paying jurisdiction within each tax-paying component. The net deferred tax must be presented as a single noncurrent amount. Previous guidance required an entity to separate deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and noncurrent amounts in a classified statement of financial position. The new guidance has been applied on a retrospective basis whereby prior-period financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the application of the new guidance. At December 31, 2015, the reclassification resulted in a reduction of current deferred income tax assets of $24.1 million, a decrease in other current assets of $0.1 million, an increase in noncurrent deferred income tax assets of $12.9
million, a decrease in other long-term assets of $0.1 million, a decrease in current other accrued liabilities of $9.4 million and a decrease in other long-term liabilities of $2.0 million.
Effective January 1, 2016, the company adopted new guidance issued by the FASB that removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy and make certain disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient. The new guidance has been applied on a retrospective basis whereby prior-period disclosures have been adjusted to reflect the application of the new guidance. Adoption of this new guidance had no impact on the company’s consolidated results of operations and financial position.
Effective for the annual reporting period ended December 31, 2016, the company adopted new guidance issued by the FASB which requires management to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern for each annual and interim reporting period. If substantial doubt exists, additional disclosure is required. Adoption of this new guidance had no impact on the company's consolidated results of operations and financial position.
In January 2017, the FASB issued new guidance which simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit's goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. Under the amended guidance, an entity will perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The company will adopt the new guidance on January 1, 2017. The company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial position.
In October 2016, the FASB issued new guidance which reduces the complexity in the accounting standards by allowing the recognition of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs. Historically, recognition of the income tax consequence was not recognized until the asset was sold to an outside party. This amendment should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with earlier adoption permitted. The company will adopt the new guidance on January 1, 2017. The company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial position.
In August 2016, the FASB issued new guidance which clarifies the treatment of several cash flow categories. In addition, the guidance also clarifies that when cash receipts and cash payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows and cannot be separated, classification will depend on the predominant source or use. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The company will adopt the new guidance on January 1, 2017. The company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated statements of cash flows.
In June 2016, the FASB issued new guidance that introduces a new model for recognizing credit losses on financial instruments based on an estimate of current expected losses. This includes trade and other receivables, loans and other financial instruments. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with earlier adoption permitted. The company is currently assessing when it will choose to adopt, and is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued new guidance that will change certain aspects of accounting for share-based payments to employees. The new guidance will require all income tax effects of awards to be recognized in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled. It also will allow an employer to repurchase more of an employee’s shares than it can today for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting and to make a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The company will adopt the new guidance on January 1, 2017. The company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial position.
In February 2016, the FASB issued a new lease accounting standard entitled “Leases.” The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about leasing transactions. The new rule will require organizations that lease assets, referred to as lessees, to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. The standard requires disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, which for the company is January 1, 2019. Earlier adoption is permitted. The company is currently assessing when it will choose to adopt, and is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption on its consolidated results of operations and financial position.
In 2014, the FASB issued a new revenue recognition standard entitled “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The objective of the standard is to establish the principles that an entity shall apply to report useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows from a contract with a customer. The standard, and its various amendments, is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, which for the company is January 1, 2018. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, which for the company in January 1, 2017. The standard allows for either “full retrospective” adoption, meaning the standard is applied to all periods presented, or “modified retrospective” adoption, meaning the standard is applied only to the most current period presented in the financial statements. Generally the new standard would require the company to recognize revenue for certain transactions, including extended payment term software licenses and short-term software licenses, sooner than the current rules would allow. The company will adopt the standard on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. The company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated results of operations and financial position and currently does not believe that there will be a material impact upon adoption or on a go-forward basis. However, the final impact cannot be determined until the end of 2017 and it will be impacted by transactions entered into during 2017.
Note 6 — Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable consist principally of trade accounts receivable from customers and are generally unsecured and due within 30 to 90 days. Credit losses relating to these receivables consistently have been within management’s expectations. Expected credit losses are recorded as an allowance for doubtful accounts in the consolidated balance sheets. Estimates of expected credit losses are based primarily on the aging of the accounts receivable balances. The company records a specific reserve for individual accounts when it becomes aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, such as in the case of bankruptcy filings or deterioration in the customer’s operating results or financial position. The collection policies and procedures of the company vary by credit class and prior payment history of customers.
Revenue recognized in excess of billings on services contracts, or unbilled accounts receivable, was $98.0 million and $93.5 million at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
At December 31, 2016, receivables under sales-type leases before the allowance for unearned income were collectible as follows: 2017, $27.9; 2018, $30.0; 2019, $20.3; 2020, $8.1; 2021, $0.6; and $0.2 thereafter.
Unearned income, which is deducted from accounts and notes receivable, was $7.0 million and $10.9 million at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The allowance for doubtful accounts, which is reported as a deduction from accounts and notes receivable, was $22.8 million and $21.1 million at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The provision for doubtful accounts, which is reported in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income, was expense of $2.2 million, $3.0 million and $2.7 million, in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The 2016 and 2015 provision for income taxes included $3.5 million and $9.1 million due to a reduction in the UK income tax rate. The rate reductions were enacted in the third quarter of 2016 and the fourth quarter of 2015 and reduced the rate from 18% to 17% and from 20% to 18% effective April 1, 2020 and 2017, respectively. The tax provision was principally caused by a write down of the UK company’s net deferred tax assets. The tax effects of temporary differences and carryforwards that give rise to significant portions of deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:

At December 31, 2016, the company has tax effected U.S. Federal ($455.5 million), state and local ($199.3 million), and foreign ($234.8 million) tax loss carryforwards, the total of which is $889.6 million. These carryforwards will expire as follows: 2017, $9.0; 2018, $4.8; 2019, $6.6; 2020, $20.4; 2021, $17.9; and $830.9 thereafter. The company also has available tax credit carryforwards of $408.9 million, which will expire as follows (in millions): 2017, $48.1; 2018, $21.0; 2019, $19.7; 2020, $45.9; 2021, $41.4; and $232.8 thereafter.
Failure to achieve forecasted taxable income might affect the ultimate realization of the company’s net deferred tax assets. Factors that may affect the company’s ability to achieve sufficient forecasted taxable income include, but are not limited to, the following: increased competition, a decline in sales or margins, loss of market share, the impact of the economic environment, delays in product availability and technological obsolescence.
Cumulative undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries, for which no U.S. income or foreign withholding taxes have been recorded, approximated $1.5 billion at December 31, 2016. As the company currently intends to indefinitely reinvest all such earnings, no provision has been made for income taxes that may become payable upon distribution of such earnings, and it is not practicable to determine the amount of the related unrecognized deferred income tax liability.
Cash paid for income taxes, net of refunds, during 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $46.4 million, $59.7 million and $73.9 million, respectively.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: |

The company recognizes penalties and interest accrued related to income tax liabilities in the provision for income taxes in its consolidated statements of income. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the company had an accrual of $1.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively, for the payment of penalties and interest.
At December 31, 2016, all of the company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would affect the company’s effective tax rate. Within the next 12 months, the company believes that it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits may significantly change; however, various events could cause this belief to change in the future.
The company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states and foreign jurisdictions. Several U.S. state and foreign income tax audits are in process. The company is under an audit in India, for which years prior to 2006 are closed. For Brazil and the United Kingdom, which are the most significant jurisdictions outside the U.S., the audit periods through 2010 are closed. All of the various ongoing income tax audits throughout the world are not expected to have a material impact on the company’s financial position.
Internal Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383 provide annual limitations with respect to the ability of a corporation to utilize its net operating loss (as well as certain built-in losses) and tax credit carryforwards, respectively ("Tax Attributes"), against future U.S. taxable income, if the corporation experiences an “ownership change.” In general terms, an ownership change may result from transactions increasing the ownership of certain stockholders in the stock of a corporation by more than 50 percentage points over a three-year period. The company regularly monitors ownership changes (as calculated for purposes of Section 382). The company has determined that, for purposes of the rules of Section 382 described above, an ownership change occurred in February 2011. Any future transaction or transactions and the timing of such transaction or transactions could trigger additional ownership changes under Section 382.
As a result of the February 2011 ownership change, utilization for certain of the company’s Tax Attributes, U.S. net operating losses and tax credits, is subject to an overall annual limitation of $70.6 million. The cumulative limitation as of December 31, 2016 is approximately $307.0 million. This limitation will be applied first to any recognized built in losses, then to any net operating losses, and then to any other Tax Attributes. Any unused limitation may be carried over to later years. Based on presently available information and the existence of tax planning strategies, the company does not expect to incur a U.S. cash tax liability in the near term. The company maintains a full valuation allowance against the realization of all U.S. deferred tax assets as well as certain foreign deferred tax assets in excess of deferred tax liabilities.

Included in the above are capital lease maturities in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and thereafter of $3.0 million, $2.4 million, $1.3 million, $1.3 million, $1.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively.
Cash paid for interest during 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $22.1 million, $14.4 million and $13.2 million, respectively. Capitalized interest expense during 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $3.0 million, $3.1 million and $4.0 million, respectively.
The amount reported in other debt represents debt secured by the sale of an account receivable.
During 2016, the company retired an aggregate principal amount of $115.0 million of its 6.25% senior notes due 2017. The company used cash on hand to fund the retirement of this debt. As a result of this retirement, the company recognized charges in "Other income (expense), net" of $4.0 million ($3.6 million of premium paid and $0.4 million for the write-off of issuance costs).
On March 15, 2016, the company issued $190.0 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes due 2021 (the notes). On April 13, 2016, the company issued an additional $23.5 million of the notes pursuant to an over-allotment option exercised by the initial purchasers to buy additional notes, for a total of $213.5 million of notes issued. The notes, which are senior unsecured obligations, bear interest at a coupon rate of 5.50% (or 9.5% effective interest rate) per year until maturity, payable semiannually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on September 1, 2016. The notes are not redeemable prior to maturity and are convertible into shares of the company’s common stock. The conversion rate for the notes is 102.4249 shares of the company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the notes (or a total amount of 21,867,716 shares), which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $9.76 per share of the company’s common stock. Upon any conversion, the company will settle its conversion obligation in cash, shares of its common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at its election.
In connection with the issuances of the notes, the company also paid $27.3 million to enter into privately negotiated capped call transactions with the initial purchasers and/or affiliates of the initial purchasers. The capped call transactions will cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, the number of shares of the company’s common stock that will initially underlie the notes. The capped call transactions will effectively raise the conversion premium on the notes from approximately 22.5% to approximately 60%, which raises the initial conversion price from approximately $9.76 per share of common stock to approximately $12.75 per share of common stock. The capped call transactions are expected to reduce potential dilution to the company’s common stock and/or offset potential cash payments the company is required to make in excess of the principal amount upon any conversion of the notes.
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 470-20, a convertible debt instrument that may be settled entirely or partially in cash is required to be separated into a liability and equity component, such that interest expense reflects the issuer’s non-convertible debt interest rate. Upon issuance, (i) a debt discount of $33.6 million was recognized as a decrease in debt and an increase in additional-paid in capital and (ii) the cost of the capped call transactions of $27.3 million was recognized as a decrease in cash and a decrease in additional paid-in capital. The debt component will accrete up to the principal amount and will be recognized as non-cash interest expense over the expected term of the notes. In 2016, $14.5 million was recorded as interest expense on such convertible debt, which includes the contractual interest coupon: ($9.2 million), amortization of the debt discount: ($4.3 million), and amortization of the debt issuance costs: ($1.0 million).
The company has a secured revolving credit facility expiring in June 2018, that provides for loans and letters of credit up to an aggregate amount of $150.0 million (with a limit on letters of credit of $100.0 million). At December 31, 2016, the company had no borrowings and $11.3 million letters of credit outstanding under this facility. Borrowing limits under the facility are based upon the amount of eligible U.S. accounts receivable. At December 31, 2016, availability under the facility was $102.5 million net of letters of credit issued. Borrowings under the facility bear interest based on short term rates. The credit agreement contains customary representations and warranties, including that there has been no material adverse change in the company’s business, properties, operations or financial condition. The company is required to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio if the availability under the credit facility falls below the greater of 12.5% of the lenders’ commitments under the facility and $18.75 million. The credit agreement allows the company to pay dividends on its capital stock in an amount up to $22.5 million per year unless the company is in default and to, among other things, repurchase its equity, prepay other debt, incur other debt or liens, dispose of assets and make acquisitions, loans and investments, provided the company complies with certain requirements and limitations set forth in the agreement. Events of default include non-payment, failure to comply with covenants, materially incorrect representations and warranties, change of control and default under other debt aggregating at least $50.0 million. The credit facility is guaranteed by Unisys Holding Corporation, Unisys NPL, Inc., Unisys AP Investment Company I and any future material domestic subsidiaries. The facility is secured by the assets of Unisys Corporation and the subsidiary guarantors, other than certain excluded assets. The company may elect to prepay or terminate the credit facility without penalty.
At December 31, 2016, the company has met all covenants and conditions under its various lending agreements. The company expects to continue to meet these covenants and conditions.
The company’s principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash from operations and its revolving credit facility, discussed above. The company and certain international subsidiaries have access to uncommitted lines of credit from various banks.
The company’s anticipated future cash expenditures include anticipated contributions to its defined benefit pension plans. The company believes that it has adequate sources of liquidity to meet its expected 2017 cash requirements.

Note 11 — Rental expense and commitments
Rental expense, less income from subleases, for 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $77.4 million, $80.6 million and $83.7 million, respectively. Income from subleases, for 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $7.8 million, $9.1 million and $8.5 million, respectively.
Minimum net rental commitments under noncancelable operating leases, including idle leases, outstanding at December 31, 2016, substantially all of which relate to real properties, were as follows: 2017, $47.8 million; 2018, $37.7 million; 2019, $30.6 million; 2020, $22.8 million; 2021, $13.1 million; and $21.1 million thereafter. Such rental commitments have been reduced by minimum sublease rentals of $17.7 million, due in the future under noncancelable subleases.
At December 31, 2016, the company had outstanding standby letters of credit and surety bonds totaling approximately $298 million related to performance and payment guarantees. On the basis of experience with these arrangements, the company believes that any obligations that may arise will not be material. In addition, at December 31, 2016, the company had deposits and collateral of approximately $44 million in other long-term assets, principally related to collateralized letters of credit, and to tax and labor contingencies in Brazil.
Note 12 — Financial instruments and concentration of credit risks
Due to its foreign operations, the company is exposed to the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on the U.S. dollar, principally related to intercompany account balances. The company uses derivative financial instruments to reduce its exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates on such balances. The company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts, generally having maturities of 3 months or less, which have not been designated as hedging instruments. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the notional amount of these contracts was $428.9 million and $940.1 million, respectively, and the fair value of such contracts was a net gain of $0.5 million and a net loss of $4.4 million, respectively, of which a gain of $2.4 million and $2.2 million, respectively, has been recognized in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and a loss of $1.9 million and $6.6 million, respectively, has been recognized in “Other accrued liabilities.” Changes in the fair value of these instruments was a loss of $29.1 million, a gain of $15.6 million and a gain of $17.3 million, respectively, for years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, which has been recognized in earnings in “Other income (expense), net” in the company’s consolidated statements of income. The fair value of these forward contracts is based on quoted prices for similar but not identical financial instruments; as such, the inputs are considered Level 2 inputs.
Financial instruments also include temporary cash investments and customer accounts receivable. Temporary investments are placed with creditworthy financial institutions, primarily in money market funds, time deposits and certificate of deposits which may be withdrawn at any time at the discretion of the company without penalty. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the company’s cash equivalents principally have maturities of less than one month or can be withdrawn at any time at the discretion of the company without penalty. Due to the short maturities of these instruments, they are carried on the consolidated balance sheets at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates market value. Realized gains or losses during 2016, 2015 and 2014, as well as unrealized gains or losses at December 31, 2016 and 2015, were immaterial. Receivables are due from a large number of customers that are dispersed worldwide across many industries. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the company had no significant concentrations of credit risk with any one customer. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the company had approximately $74 million and $99 million, respectively, of receivables due from various U.S. federal governmental agencies. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximated fair value. The fair value of long-term debt is based on market prices (Level 2 inputs). At December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the fair value of the company's Senior Notes due 2017, of which a portion was retired in 2016, was $97.8 million and $213.2 million, respectively. At December 31, 2016, the fair value of the company's Convertible Senior Notes due 2021, which were issued in March and April of 2016, was $379.8 million.
Note 13 — Foreign currency translation
During the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, the company recorded foreign exchange losses related to its Venezuelan subsidiary of $0.4 million, $8.4 million and $7.4 million, respectively. At December 31, 2016, the company's operations in Venezuela had an immaterial amount of net monetary assets denominated in local currency.
During the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, the company recognized foreign exchange gains (losses) in “Other income (expense), net” in its consolidated statements of income of $2.3 million, $8.1 million and $(7.0) million, respectively.
Note 14 — Litigation and contingencies
There are various lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings that have been brought or asserted against the company, which arise in the ordinary course of business, including actions with respect to commercial and government contracts, labor and employment, employee benefits, environmental matters, intellectual property, and non-income tax matters. The company records a provision for these matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Any provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and are adjusted to reflect the impact and status of settlements, rulings, advice of counsel and other information and events pertinent to a particular matter.
The company believes that it has valid defenses with respect to legal matters pending against it. Based on its experience, the company also believes that the damage amounts claimed in the lawsuits disclosed below are not a meaningful indicator of the company’s potential liability. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, however, and it is possible that the company’s results of operations or cash flows could be materially affected in any particular period by the resolution of one or more of the legal matters pending against it.
In April 2007, the Ministry of Justice of Belgium sued Unisys Belgium SA-NV, a Unisys subsidiary (Unisys Belgium), in the Court of First Instance of Brussels. The Belgian government had engaged the company to design and develop software for a computerized system to be used to manage the Belgian court system. The Belgian State terminated the contract and in its
lawsuit has alleged that the termination was justified because Unisys Belgium failed to deliver satisfactory software in a timely manner. It claims damages of approximately €28.0 million. Unisys Belgium filed its defense and counterclaim in April 2008, in the amount of approximately €18.5 million. The company believes it has valid defenses to the claims and contends that the Belgian State’s termination of the contract was unjustified.
The company’s Brazilian operations, along with those of many other companies doing business in Brazil, are involved in various litigation matters, including numerous governmental assessments related to indirect and other taxes, as well as disputes associated with former employees and contract labor. The tax-related matters pertain to value added taxes, customs, duties, sales and other non-income related tax exposures. The labor-related matters include claims related to compensation matters. The company believes that appropriate accruals have been established for such matters based on information currently available. At December 31, 2016, excluding those matters that have been assessed by management as being remote as to the likelihood of ultimately resulting in a loss, the amount related to unreserved tax-related matters, inclusive of any related interest, is estimated to be up to approximately $126.0 million.
On June 26, 2014, the State of Louisiana filed a Petition for Damages against, among other defendants, the company and Molina Information Systems, LLC, in the Parish of East Baton Rouge, 19th Judicial District. The State alleged that between 1989 and 2012 the defendants, each acting successively as the State’s Medicaid fiscal intermediary, utilized an incorrect reimbursement formula for the payment of pharmaceutical claims causing the State to pay excessive amounts for prescription drugs. The State contends overpayments of approximately $68.0 million for the period January 2002 through July 2011 and is seeking data to identify the claims at issue for the remaining time period. The company believes that it has valid defenses to Louisiana's claims and is asserting them in the pending litigation.
With respect to the specific legal proceedings and claims described above, except as otherwise noted, either (i) the amount or range of possible losses in excess of amounts accrued, if any, is not reasonably estimable or (ii) the company believes that the amount or range of possible losses in excess of amounts accrued that are estimable would not be material.
Litigation is inherently unpredictable and unfavorable resolutions could occur. Accordingly, it is possible that an adverse outcome from such matters could exceed the amounts accrued in an amount that could be material to the company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in any particular reporting period.
Notwithstanding that the ultimate results of the lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings that have been brought or asserted against the company are not currently determinable, the company believes that at December 31, 2016, it has adequate provisions for any such matters.
Note 15 — Segment information
The company has two business segments: Services and Technology. Revenue classifications within the Services segment are as follows:
| |
• | Cloud and infrastructure services. This represents revenue from helping clients apply cloud and as-a-service delivery models to capitalize on business opportunities, make their end users more productive, and manage and secure their IT infrastructure and operations more economically. |
| |
• | Application services. This represents revenue from helping clients transform their business processes by providing advanced solutions for select industries, developing and managing new leading-edge applications, offering advanced data analytics and modernizing existing enterprise applications. |
| |
• | Business process outsourcing (BPO) services. This represents revenue from the management of critical processes and functions for clients in target industries, helping them improve performance and reduce costs. |
The accounting policies of each business segment are the same as those followed by the company as a whole. Intersegment sales and transfers are priced as if the sales or transfers were to third parties. Accordingly, the Technology segment recognizes intersegment revenue and manufacturing profit on software and hardware shipments to customers under Services contracts. The Services segment, in turn, recognizes customer revenue and marketing profits on such shipments of company software and hardware to customers. The Services segment also includes the sale of software and hardware products sourced from third parties that are sold to customers through the company’s Services channels. In the company’s consolidated statements of income, the manufacturing costs of products sourced from the Technology segment and sold to Services customers are reported in cost of revenue for Services.
Also included in the Technology segment’s sales and operating profit are sales of software and hardware sold to the Services segment for internal use in Services engagements. The amount of such profit included in operating income of the Technology segment for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $0.7 million, $9.2 million and $17.0 million, respectively. The profit on these transactions is eliminated in Corporate.
The company evaluates business segment performance based on operating income exclusive of pension income or expense, restructuring charges and unusual and nonrecurring items, which are included in Corporate. All other corporate and centrally incurred costs are allocated to the business segments based principally on revenue, employees, square footage or usage. No
single customer accounts for more than 10% of revenue. Revenue from various agencies of the U.S. Government, which is reported in both business segments, was approximately $564 million, $569 million and $529 million in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Corporate assets are principally cash and cash equivalents, prepaid postretirement assets and deferred income taxes. The expense or income related to corporate assets is allocated to the business segments.

Note 16 — Employee plans
Stock plans Under stockholder approved stock-based plans, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units may be granted to officers, directors and other key employees. At December 31, 2016, 3.8 million shares of unissued common stock of the company were available for granting under these plans.
As of December 31, 2016, the company has granted non-qualified stock options and restricted stock units under these plans. The company recognizes compensation cost net of a forfeiture rate in selling, general and administrative expenses, and recognizes the compensation cost for only those awards expected to vest. The company estimates the forfeiture rate based on its historical experience and its expectations about future forfeitures.
The company’s employee stock option grants include a provision that, if termination of employment occurs after the participant has attained age 55 and completed 5 years of service with the company, the participant shall continue to vest in each of his or her awards in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the applicable award agreement. Compensation expense for such awards is recognized over the period to the date the employee first becomes eligible for retirement. Time-based restricted stock unit grants for the company’s directors vest upon award and compensation expense for such awards is recognized upon grant.
Options have been granted to purchase the company’s common stock at an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair market value at the date of grant, generally have a maximum duration of seven years for options issued in 2015 and five years for options issued before 2015, and become exercisable in annual installments over a three-year period following date of grant.
During the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, the company recognized $9.5 million, $9.4 million and $10.4 million of share-based compensation expense, which is comprised of $7.5 million, $4.7 million and $3.3 million of restricted stock unit expense and $2.0 million, $4.7 million and $7.1 million of stock option expense, respectively.
For stock options, the fair value is estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Principal assumptions used are as follows: (a) expected volatility for the company’s stock price is based on historical volatility and implied market volatility, (b) historical exercise data is used to estimate the options’ expected term, which represents the period of time that the options granted are expected to be outstanding, and (c) the risk-free interest rate is the rate on zero-coupon U.S. government issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the options. The company recognizes compensation expense for the fair value of stock options, which have graded vesting, on the straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. The compensation expense recognized as of any date must be at least equal to the portion of the grant-date fair value that is vested at that date.
The fair value of stock option awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions and weighted-average fair values as follows:

The aggregate intrinsic value represents the total pretax value of the difference between the company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the period and the exercise price of the options, multiplied by the number of in-the-money stock options
that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on December 31, 2016. The intrinsic value of the company’s stock options changes based on the closing price of the company’s stock. The total intrinsic value of options exercised for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 was zero, $0.6 million and $4.7 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, $1.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.2 years.
Restricted stock unit awards may contain time-based units, performance-based units or a combination of both. Each performance-based unit will vest into zero to 2.0 shares depending on the degree to which the performance goals are met. Compensation expense resulting from these awards is recognized as expense ratably for each installment from the date of grant until the date the restrictions lapse and is based on the fair market value at the date of grant and the probability of achievement of the specific performance-related goals.

The fair value of restricted stock units is determined based on the trading price of the company’s common shares on the date of grant. The aggregate weighted-average grant-date fair value of restricted stock units granted during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $12.9 million, $10.2 million and $12.8 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, there was $8.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding restricted stock units granted under the company’s plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years. The aggregate weighted-average grant-date fair value of restricted stock units vested during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $3.5 million, $2.1 million and $3.3 million, respectively.
Common stock issued upon exercise of stock options or upon lapse of restrictions on restricted stock units are newly issued shares. Cash received from the exercise of stock options was zero and $3.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. During 2016 and 2015, the company did not recognize any tax benefits from the exercise of stock options or upon issuance of stock upon lapse of restrictions on restricted stock units because of its tax position. Any such tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation costs recognized are classified as financing cash flows.
Defined contribution and compensation plans U.S. employees are eligible to participate in an employee savings plan. Under this plan, employees may contribute a percentage of their pay for investment in various investment alternatives. The company matches 50 percent of the first 6 percent of eligible pay contributed by participants to the plan on a before-tax basis (subject to IRS limits). The company funds the match with cash. The charge to income related to the company match for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, was $10.7 million, $9.9 million and $10.6 million, respectively.
The company has defined contribution plans in certain locations outside the United States. The charge to income related to these plans was $19.0 million, $21.4 million and $25.2 million, for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
The company has non-qualified compensation plans, which allow certain highly compensated employees and directors to defer the receipt of a portion of their salary, bonus and fees. Participants can earn a return on their deferred balance that is based on hypothetical investments in various investment vehicles. Changes in the market value of these investments are reflected as an adjustment to the liability with an offset to expense. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the liability to the participants of these plans was $12.3 million and $12.6 million, respectively. These amounts reflect the accumulated participant deferrals and earnings thereon as of that date. The company makes no contributions to the deferred compensation plans and remains contingently liable to the participants.
Retirement benefits For the company’s more significant defined benefit pension plans, including the U.S. and the U.K., accrual of future benefits under the plans has ceased.
In December 2016, the company completed a lump-sum offer for eligible former associates who had a deferred vested benefit under the company's U.S. pension plan to receive the value of their entire pension benefit in a lump-sum payment. As a result, the pension plan trust made lump sum payments to approximately 5,800 former associates of $215.9 million. In accordance with accounting guidance on settlements of a pension benefit obligation, no settlement charges were recorded as a result of this action.

The company periodically reviews its asset allocation, taking into consideration plan liabilities, local regulatory requirements, plan payment streams and then-current capital market assumptions. The actual asset allocation for each plan is monitored at least quarterly, relative to the established policy targets and ranges. If the actual asset allocation is close to or out of any of the ranges, a review is conducted. Rebalancing will occur toward the target allocation, with due consideration given to the liquidity of the investments and transaction costs.
The objectives of the company’s investment strategies are as follows: (a) to provide a total return that, over the long term, increases the ratio of plan assets to liabilities by maximizing investment return on assets, at a level of risk deemed appropriate, (b) to maximize return on assets by investing primarily in equity securities in the U.S. and for international plans by investing in appropriate asset classes, subject to the constraints of each plan design and local regulations, (c) to diversify investments within asset classes to reduce the impact of losses in single investments, and (d) for the U.S. plan to invest in compliance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), as amended and any subsequent applicable regulations and laws, and for international plans to invest in a prudent manner in compliance with local applicable regulations and laws.
The company sets the expected long-term rate of return based on the expected long-term return of the various asset categories in which it invests. The company considered the current expectations for future returns and the actual historical returns of each asset class. Also, since the company’s investment policy is to actively manage certain asset classes where the potential exists to
outperform the broader market, the expected returns for those asset classes were adjusted to reflect the expected additional returns.
In 2017, the company expects to make cash contributions of $127.7 million to its worldwide defined benefit pension plans, which is comprised of $73.3 million primarily for non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans and $54.4 million for the company’s U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan.
As of December 31, 2016, the following benefit payments, which reflect expected future service where applicable, are expected to be paid from the defined benefit pension plans: |

The expected pretax amortization in 2017 of net periodic postretirement benefit cost is as follows: net loss, $1.2 million; and prior service credit, $(0.4) million.
The company reviews its asset allocation periodically, taking into consideration plan liabilities, plan payment streams and then-current capital market assumptions. The company sets the long-term expected return on asset assumption, based principally on the long-term expected return on debt securities. These return assumptions are based on a combination of current market conditions, capital market expectations of third-party investment advisors and actual historical returns of the asset classes.In 2017, the company expects to contribute approximately $13 million to its postretirement benefit plan. |

The following provides a description of the valuation methodologies and the levels of inputs used to measure fair value, and the general classification of investments in the company’s U.S. and international defined benefit pension plans, and the company’s other postretirement benefit plan.
Level 1 – These investments include cash, common stocks, real estate investment trusts, exchange traded funds, exchange traded futures, and U.S. government securities. These investments are valued using quoted prices in an active market. Payables and receivables are also included as Level 1 investments and are valued at face value.
Level 2 – These investments include the following:
Pooled Funds – These investments are comprised of money market funds and fixed income securities. The money market funds are valued using the readily determinable fair value (RDFV) provided by trustees of the funds. The fixed income securities are valued based on quoted prices for identical or similar investments in markets that may not be active.
Commingled Funds – These investments are comprised of debt, equity and other securities and are valued using the RDFV provided by trustees of the funds. The fair value per share for these funds are published and are the basis for current transactions.
Other Fixed Income – These investments are comprised of corporate and government fixed income investments and asset and mortgage backed securities for which there are quoted prices for identical or similar investments in markets that may not be active.
Derivatives – These investments include forward exchange contracts and options, which are traded on an active market, but not on an exchange; therefore, the inputs may not be readily observable. These investments also include fixed income futures and other derivative instruments.
Level 3 – These investments include the following:
Insurance Contracts – These investments are insurance contracts which are carried at book value, are not publicly traded and are reported at a fair value determined by the insurance provider.
Certain investments are valued using net asset value (NAV) as a practical expedient. These investments may not be redeemable on a daily basis and may have redemption notice periods of up to 90 days. These investments include the following:
Commingled Funds – These investments are comprised of debt, equity and other securities.
Private Real Estate and Private Equity - These investments represent interests in limited partnerships which invest in privately held companies or privately held real estate or other real assets. Net asset values are developed and reported by the general partners that manage the partnerships. These valuations are based on property appraisals, utilization of market transactions that provide valuation information for comparable companies, discounted cash flows, and other methods. These valuations are reported quarterly and adjusted as necessary at year end based on cash flows within the most recent period.
In accordance with the new guidance issued by the FASB discussed in Note 5, pension investments that are measured using NAV as a practical expedient have been removed from the fair value hierarchy. As the new guidance was adopted retrospectively, prior-period investments have been restated accordingly, resulting in the removal of $150.5 million and $1,631.3 million of investments, respectively, from the fair value hierarchy for U.S. and International plans, respectively, on December 31, 2015.
The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the plans’ assets (liabilities) at fair value at December 31, 2016.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
Not applicable.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, management performed, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), an evaluation of the effectiveness of the company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and the CFO concluded that, as of December 31, 2016, the company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
