Unisys said restructuring will hurt earnings.

The computer company, in a year-end statement by Chairman W. Michael Blumenthal, said it will take an after-tax charge of $250 million to $275 million, related to the merger of Burroughs and Sperry. As previously reported, Unisys is shedding more than $1.8 billion in assets. Next year the company will see “a significant operating earnings improvement despite modest industry growth projections,” Blumenthal said.
