GENERAL The condensed consolidated financial statements at June 30, 1998, and for the three and six months then ended are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and operating results for the interim period. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year ending December 31, 1998. 2. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is consistent with the calculation of basic net income per common share while giving effect to dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. For all periods presented, dilutive potential common shares consisted entirely of stock options. For the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, the weighted average dilutive potential common shares from Common Stock Warrants of 671,770 and 642,232, respectively, are excluded from the diluted net income per common share calculation as the events necessary to allow the exercise of the warrants had not been satisfied as of June 30, 1998. 3. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME In 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a financial statement for the period in which they are recognized. The Company's comprehensive income was as follows (in thousands): Three months ended Six months ended -------------------- ------------------- June 30, June 30, June 30, June 30, 1998 1997 1998 1997 --------- --------- --------- -------- Net income $8,651 $1,731 $15,135 $2,895 Foreign currency translation adjustments (11) 39 69 (504) --------- --------- --------- -------- Comprehensive income $8,640 $1,770 $15,204 $2,391 ========= ========= ========= ======== 4. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In October 1996, a former senior vice president of CSG Systems filed a lawsuit against the Company and certain of its officers in the District Court of Arapahoe County, Colorado. The suit claimed that certain amendments to stock agreements between the plaintiff and the Company were unenforceable, and that the plaintiff's rights were otherwise violated in connection with those amendments. The plaintiff was seeking 6 damages of approximately $2.0 million, and in addition, sought to have such damages trebled under certain Colorado statutes that the plaintiff claimed were applicable. In June 1998, the Company settled this matter, the effect of which was not material to the Company. 5. RECLASSIFICATION OF PRIOR PERIOD AMOUNTS Certain December 31, 1997 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the June 30, 1998 presentation. 6. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and for Hedging Activities" (SFAS No. 133). The Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring every derivative instrument, as defined, to be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. The Statement requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal quarters for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. Adoption of the Statement is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. 7. SUBSEQUENT EVENT On July 30, 1998, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of US Telecom Advanced Technology Systems, Inc. (USTATS) for approximately $6.0 million in cash and assumption of certain liabilities of approximately $1.2 million. USTATS, a South Carolina-based company, specializes in open systems, client/server customer care and billing systems serving the telecommunications markets. The cash portion of the purchase price was paid out of corporate funds. The Company expects a significant portion of the purchase price will be allocated to in-process R&D, and accordingly, will be expensed in the third quarter of 1998. In-process R&D represents research and development of software technologies which have not reached technological feasibility as of the acquisition date, and have no other alternative future use. 7 CSG SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL, INC.

8 THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 Revenues. Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1998, increased 32.2% to $54.2 million, from $41.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997, due to increased revenues from the Company's processing and related services, and increased revenues from software and related product sales and professional consulting services. Revenues from processing and related services for the three months ended June 30, 1998, increased 36.8% to $44.1 million, from $32.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997. Of the total increase in revenue, approximately 70% resulted from an increase in the number of customers of the Company's clients which were serviced by the Company and approximately 30% was due to increased revenue per customer. Customers serviced as of June 30, 1998, and 1997, respectively, were 25.4 million and 20.0 million, an increase of 26.7%. The increase in the number of customers serviced was due to the conversion of additional customers by new and existing clients to the Company's systems, and internal customer growth experienced by existing clients. From April 1, 1998 through June 30, 1998, the Company converted and processed approximately 1.9 million additional customers on its systems. Revenue per customer increased due primarily to (i) the 15-year Tele-Communications, Inc. (TCI) processing contract (the TCI Contract) executed in September 1997, (ii) increased usage of ancillary services by clients, and (iii) price increases included in client contracts. Revenues from software and related product sales and professional consulting services for the three months ended June 30, 1998, increased 15.4% to $10.1 million, from $8.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997. This increase relates primarily to the continued growth of the Company's software products and related product sales. Amortization of Acquired Software. Amortization of acquired software decreased to zero for the three months ended June 30, 1998, from $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997, due to acquired software from the Company's leveraged buy-out of CSG Systems, Inc. (the Acquisition) in November 1994 becoming fully amortized as of November 30, 1997. Amortization of Client Contracts and Related Intangibles. Amortization of client contracts and related intangibles for the three months ended June 30, 1998, increased 15.0% to $1.2 million, from $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The increase in expense is due to $0.4 million of amortization of the value assigned to the TCI Contract, offset by a decrease of $0.2 million of amortization due to client conversion methodologies from the Acquisition becoming fully amortized as of November 30, 1997. Gross Margin. Gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 1998, increased 54.6% to $29.2 million, from $18.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997, due primarily to revenue growth. The gross margin percentage increased to 53.7% for the three months ended June 30, 1998, compared to 46.0% for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The overall increase in the gross margin percentage is due primarily to the increase in revenues while the amount of amortization of acquired software and amortization of client contracts and related intangibles decreased, and to a lesser degree, the improvement in the gross margin percentage for processing and related services, due primarily to the increase in revenue per customer while controlling the cost of delivering such services. Research and Development Expense. Research and development (R&D) expense for the three months ended June 30, 1998, increased 16.9% to $6.8 million, from $5.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997. As a percentage of total revenues, R&D expense decreased to 12.5% for the three months ended June 30, 1998, from 14.1% for the three months ended June 30, 1997. During the three months ended June 30, 1997, the Company capitalized software development costs of approximately $3.7 million, which consisted of $2.8 million of internal development costs and $0.9 million of purchased software. The Company capitalized third party, contracted costs of approximately $0.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 1998, related primarily to enhancements to existing products. As a 9 result, total R&D development expenditures (i.e., the total R&D costs expensed, plus the capitalized development costs) for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, were $7.6 million, or 14.1% of total revenues, and $8.6 million, or 21.0% of total revenues, respectively. The overall decrease in the R&D expenditures between periods is due primarily to effective control of development costs, primarily the reduction of third-party, contracted programming services. Selling and Marketing Expense. Selling and marketing (S&M) expense for the three months ended June 30, 1998, decreased 4.4% to $2.6 million, from $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997. As a percentage of total revenues, S&M expense decreased to 4.9% for the three months ended June 30, 1998, from 6.7% for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The overall decrease in S&M expenses as a percentage of total revenues is due primarily to increased revenues, while controlling S&M costs. General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative (G&A) expense for the three months ended June 30, 1998, increased 20.6% to $5.6 million, from $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997. As a percentage of total revenues, G&A expense decreased to 10.3% for the three months ended June 30, 1998, from 11.4% for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The increase in G&A expenses relates primarily to the continued expansion of the Company's administrative staff and other administrative costs to support the Company's overall growth. The decrease in G&A expenses as a percentage of total revenues is due primarily to increased revenues, while controlling G&A costs. Amortization of Noncompete Agreements and Goodwill. Amortization of noncompete agreements and goodwill for the three months ended June 30, 1998, decreased 22.2%, to $1.3 million, from $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The decrease in amortization expense is due primarily to a write-down of certain intangible assets in the fourth quarter of 1997. Depreciation Expense. Depreciation expense for the three months ended June 30, 1998, increased 16.2% to $2.0 million, from $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The increase in expense relates to capital expenditures made throughout 1997 and the first six months of 1998 in support of the overall growth of the Company, consisting principally of computer hardware and related equipment and statement processing equipment and related facilities. Operating Income. Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 1998, was $10.7 million or 19.7% of total revenues, compared to $2.1 million or 5.2% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The increase between years relates to the factors discussed above. The Company incurred certain one-time or acquisition-related charges (Acquisition Charges) in connection with the Acquisition in November 1994. The Acquisition Charges include amortization of acquired software, client contracts and related intangibles, noncompete agreement, goodwill, and stock-based compensation. Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, excluding Acquisition Charges of $2.1 million and $5.4 million, was $12.8 million or 23.5% of total revenues, and $7.5 million or 18.4% of total revenues, respectively. See the Company's "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997, for additional discussion regarding the Acquisition Charges and the impact of such charges on operations. Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 1998, increased 299.7% to $2.5 million, from $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997, with the increase attributable primarily to the financing of the Company's acquisition of the SUMMITrak assets in September 1997. Interest Income. Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 1998, increased 184.9% to $0.5 million, from $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997, with the increase attributable primarily to an increase in operating funds available for investment and, to a lesser degree, an increase in interest charges on aged customer accounts. 10 SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 Revenues. Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1998, increased 30.1% to $103.5 million, from $79.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997, due to increased revenues from the Company's processing and related services, and increased revenues from software and related product sales and professional consulting services. Revenues from processing and related services for the six months ended June 30, 1998, increased 33.3% to $83.9 million, from $63.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. Of the total increase in revenue, approximately 64% resulted from an increase in the number of customers of the Company's clients which were serviced by the Company and approximately 36% was due to increased revenue per customer. The increase in the number of customers serviced was due to the conversion of additional customers by new and existing clients to the Company's systems, and internal customer growth experienced by existing clients. From January 1, 1998 through June 30, 1998, the Company converted and processed approximately 4.2 million additional customers on its systems. Revenue per customer increased due primarily to (i) the TCI Contract executed in September 1997, (ii) increased usage of ancillary services by clients, and (iii) price increases included in client contracts. Revenues from software and related product sales and professional consulting services for the six months ended June 30, 1998, increased 17.9% to $19.6 million, from $16.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. This increase relates to the continued growth of the Company's software products and related product sales and professional consulting services. Amortization of Acquired Software. Amortization of acquired software decreased to zero for the six months ended June 30, 1998, from $5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997, due to acquired software from the Acquisition in November 1994 becoming fully amortized as of November 30, 1997. Amortization of Client Contracts and Related Intangibles. Amortization of client contracts and related intangibles for the six months ended June 30, 1998, increased 9.7% to $2.2 million, from $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The increase in expense is due to $0.7 million of amortization of the value assigned to the TCI Contract, offset by a decrease of $0.5 million of amortization due to client conversion methodologies from the Acquisition becoming fully amortized as of November 30, 1997. Gross Margin. Gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 1998, increased 58.2% to $55.3 million, from $35.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997, due primarily to revenue growth. The gross margin percentage increased to 53.4% for the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to 43.8% for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The overall increase in the gross margin percentage is due primarily to the increase in revenues while the amount of amortization of acquired software and amortization of client contracts and related intangibles decreased, and to a lesser degree, the improvement in the gross margin percentage for processing and related services, due primarily to the increase in revenue per customer while controlling the cost of delivering such services. Research and Development Expense. R&D expense for the six months ended June 30, 1998, increased 24.9% to $13.3 million, from $10.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. As a percentage of total revenues, R&D expense decreased to 12.9% for the six months ended June 30, 1998, from 13.4% for the six months ended June 30, 1997. During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company capitalized software development costs of approximately $6.8 million, which consisted of $5.6 million of internal development costs and $1.2 million of purchased software. The Company capitalized third party, contracted costs of approximately $1.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 1998, related primarily to enhancements to existing products. As a result, total R&D development expenditures (i.e., the total R&D costs expensed, plus the capitalized development costs) for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, were $14.7 million, or 14.2% of total 11 revenues, and $16.3 million, or 20.4% of total revenues, respectively. The overall decrease in the R&D expenditures between periods is due primarily to effective control of development costs, primarily the reduction of third-party, contracted programming services. Selling and Marketing Expense. S&M expense for the six months ended June 30, 1998, decreased 1.3% to $5.0 million, from $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. As a percentage of total revenues, S&M expense decreased to 4.9% for the six months ended June 30, 1998, from 6.4% for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The overall decrease in S&M expenses as a percentage of total revenues is due primarily to increased revenues, while controlling S&M costs. General and Administrative Expense. G&A expense for the six months ended June 30, 1998, increased 27.7% to $11.2 million, from $8.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. As a percentage of total revenues, G&A expense decreased to 10.8% for the six months ended June 30, 1998, from 11.0% for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The increase in G&A expenses relates primarily to the continued expansion of the Company's administrative staff and other administrative costs to support the Company's overall growth. The decrease in G&A expenses as a percentage of total revenues is due primarily to increased revenue, while controlling G&A costs. Amortization of Noncompete Agreements and Goodwill. Amortization of noncompete agreements and goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 1998, decreased 22.4%, to $2.7 million, from $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The decrease in amortization expense is due primarily to a write-down of certain intangible assets in the fourth quarter of 1997. Depreciation Expense. Depreciation expense for the six months ended June 30, 1998, increased 18.9% to $3.8 million, from $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The increase in expense relates to capital expenditures made throughout 1997 and the first six months of 1998 in support of the overall growth of the Company, consisting principally of computer hardware and related equipment and statement processing equipment and related facilities. Operating Income. Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 1998, was $19.1 million or 18.4% of total revenues, compared to $3.4 million or 4.3% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The increase between years relates to the factors discussed above. Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, excluding Acquisition Charges of $4.1 million and $11.0 million, was $23.2 million or 22.4% of total revenues, and $14.4 million or 18.1% of total revenues, respectively. Interest Expense. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1998, increased 298.4% to $5.0 million, from $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997, with the increase attributable primarily to the financing of the Company's acquisition of the SUMMITrak assets in September 1997. Interest Income. Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1998, increased 200.5% to $1.1 million, from $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997, with the increase attributable primarily to an increase in operating funds available for investment and an increase in interest charges on aged customer accounts. Significant Customers - --------------------- During the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, revenues from TCI represented approximately 38.5% and 25.4% of total revenues, and revenues from Time Warner Cable and its affiliated companies (Time Warner) represented 17.8% and 19.5% of total revenues, respectively. The increase in the TCI percentage between periods relates primarily to the additional TCI customers converted to the Company's systems as a result of the 15-year TCI Contract executed in September 1997. The decrease in the Time Warner percentage between periods results from a larger total revenue base for the Company, as total revenues from Time Warner increased between periods. The Company has separate processing 12 agreements with multiple affiliates of Time Warner and provides products and services to them under separately negotiated and executed contracts. Income Taxes - ------------ At June 30, 1998, the Company concluded that it was more likely than not that certain of the Company's deferred tax assets would be realized. Accordingly, the Company has recognized a net deferred tax asset of approximately $13.7 million. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance of approximately $53.8 million against the remaining net deferred tax assets since realization of these future benefits is not sufficiently assured as of June 30, 1998. The Company intends to analyze the realizability of the net deferred tax assets at each future quarterly reporting period. The current quarterly results of operations, as well as the Company's projected results of operations, will determine the required valuation allowance at the end of each quarter. Based on its current projections of operating results for 1998, the Company expects to pay U.S. income taxes and realize additional deferred tax assets in 1998. As a result, the Company does not expect income tax expense for 1998 to be significant. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- As of June 30, 1998, the Company's principal sources of liquidity included cash and cash equivalents of $26.2 million. The Company also has a revolving credit facility in the amount of $40.0 million, of which there were no borrowings outstanding. The Company's ability to borrow under the revolving credit facility is subject to maintenance of certain levels of eligible receivables. At June 30, 1998, $39.2 million of the $40.0 million revolving credit facility was available to the Company based on the current level of eligible receivables. The revolving credit facility expires in September 2002. As of June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively, the Company had $55.3 million and $44.7 million in net trade accounts receivable, an increase of $10.6 million, with the increase primarily a result of the Company's revenue growth. The Company's trade accounts receivable balance includes billings for several non-revenue items, such as postage, communication lines, travel and entertainment reimbursements, sales tax, and deferred items. As a result, the Company evaluates its performance in collecting its accounts receivable through its calculation of days billings outstanding (DBO) rather than a typical days sales outstanding (DSO) calculation. DBO is calculated based on the billing for the period (including non-revenue items) divided by the average net trade accounts receivable balance for the period. Some of the Company's most recent DBO calculations are as follows: For the Month For the Quarter Ended Ended ------------- --------------- June 30, 1998............. 54 58 March 31, 1998............ 59 59 December 31, 1997......... 58 54 During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company generated $13.3 million of net cash flow from operating activities. Cash generated from these sources and the proceeds of $2.7 million from the issuance of common stock through the Company's stock incentive plans were used (i) to fund capital expenditures of $6.6 million, (ii) to fund additions to software of $1.4 million, and (iii) to repay long-term debt of $2.3 million. Earnings from operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was $28.4 million or 27.4% of total revenues, compared to $18.8 million or 23.7% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1997. EBITDA is presented here as a measure of the Company's debt service ability and is not intended to represent cash flows for the periods. The Company financed the SUMMITrak asset acquisition with a $150.0 million term credit facility in 13 September 1997. In December 1997, the Company made an optional principal payment on the term credit facility of $15.0 million. Interest rates for the term and revolving credit facilities are chosen at the option of the Company and are based on the LIBOR rate or the prime rate, plus an additional percentage spread, with the spread dependent upon the Company's leverage ratio. For the three months ended March 31, 1998, the spread on the LIBOR rate and prime rate was 1.0 percent and 0 percent, respectively. Based on the Company's leverage ratio as of March 31, 1998, the spread on the LIBOR rate was reduced to 0.75 percent, effective April 1, 1998. The loan agreement restricts, among other things, the payment of dividends or other types of distributions on any class of the Company's stock unless the Company's leverage ratio, as defined in the loan agreement, is under 1.50. As of June 30, 1998, the leverage ratio was 2.19. The purchase price for the SUMMITrak assets acquired in September 1997 included up to $26.0 million in conversion incentive payments. The timing of the conversion incentive payments is based upon the achievement of certain milestone by TCI and the Company, as specified in the SUMMITrak asset acquisition agreement. The milestones are based principally upon the number of TCI's customers converted to, and the total number of TCI customers processed on, the Company's customer care and billing system. Total payments as of June 30, 1998 have been approximately $0.6 million. Based on the conversions performed to date and the future conversions scheduled as of June 30, 1998, the Company expects to pay $22.5 million to TCI within the next 12 months, with the remaining amount payable by the end of the third quarter of 1999. In the ordinary course of business, the Company evaluates potential acquisitions of assets and businesses that may provide the technology and technical personnel to expedite the Company's product development efforts, provide complementary products or services, or provide access to new markets or clients. On July 30, 1998, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of US Telecom Advanced Technology Systems, Inc. (USTATS) for approximately $6.0 million in cash and assumption of certain liabilities of approximately $1.2 million. USTATS, a South Carolina-based company, specializes in open systems, client/server customer care and billing systems serving the telecommunications markets. The cash portion of the purchase price was paid out of corporate funds. The Company expects a significant portion of the purchase price will be allocated to in-process R&D, and accordingly, will be expensed in the third quarter of 1998. In-process R&D represents research and development of software technologies which have not reached technological feasibility as of the acquisition date, and have no other alternative future use. The Company continues to make significant investments in capital equipment, facilities, and research and development. The Company had no significant capital commitments as of June 30, 1998. The Company believes that cash generated from operations, together with the current cash and cash equivalents and the amount available under the revolving credit facility, will be sufficient to meet its anticipated cash requirements for operations, income taxes, debt service, conversion incentive payments and capital expenditures for both its short and long-term purposes. Year 2000 - --------- In 1995, the Company began efforts to identify and assess any issues associated with its software's ability to properly utilize dates and process data beyond the year 2000. The Company recognizes that the failure to properly and timely address issues surrounding the year 2000 could have a material impact on its operations, and as a result it appointed a project team to undertake a Company- wide study to determine the full scope and related costs to the Company of ensuring that its systems can continue to meet the Company's internal needs, as well as those of its customers. The Company's year 2000 project team is communicating with vendors and customers to coordinate year 2000 conversion and continues to report to the Company's management the progress on year 2000 compliance. The Company currently believes that it will be able to effectively mitigate risks associated with the year 2000 and that its Company-wide year 2000 project will be substantially complete by the end of the fourth quarter of 1998. The Company does not expect the costs to make its systems year 2000 compliant to be material to its financial condition or results of operations. The Company is analyzing the disclosure requirements recently released by the Securities and Exchange Commission in August 1998, and will adopt those disclosure requirements in the third quarter of 1998. 14 CSG SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL, INC. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings In October 1996, a former senior vice president of CSG Systems filed a lawsuit against the Company and certain of its officers in the District Court of Arapahoe County, Colorado. The suit claimed that certain amendments to stock agreements between the plaintiff and the Company were unenforceable, and that the plaintiff's rights were otherwise violated in connection with those amendments. The plaintiff was seeking damages of approximately $2.0 million, and in addition, sought to have such damages trebled under certain Colorado statutes that the plaintiff claimed were applicable. In June 1998, the Company settled this matter, the effect of which was not material to the Company. Item 2-3. None. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

EX-99.01 4 SAFE HARBOR FOR FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS UNDER EXHIBIT 99.01 SAFE HARBOR FOR FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 CERTAIN CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS AND RISK FACTORS CSG Systems International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company) or their representatives from time to time may make or may have made certain forward-looking statements, whether orally or in writing, including without limitation, any such statements made or to be made in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in its various SEC filings or orally in conferences or teleconferences. The Company wishes to ensure that such statements are accompanied by meaningful cautionary statements, so as to ensure to the fullest extent possible the protections of the safe harbor established in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. ACCORDINGLY, THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS ARE QUALIFIED IN THEIR ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE TO AND ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THE FOLLOWING MEANINGFUL CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS IDENTIFYING CERTAIN IMPORTANT FACTORS THAT COULD CAUSE ACTUAL RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE IN SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. This list of factors is likely not exhaustive. The company operates in a rapidly changing and evolving business involving the converging communications markets, and new risk factors will likely emerge. Management cannot predict all of the important risk factors, nor can it assess the impact, if any, of such risk factors on the Company's business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those in any forward-looking statements. ACCORDINGLY, THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS WILL BE ACCURATE INDICATORS OF FUTURE ACTUAL RESULTS, AND IT IS LIKELY THAT ACTUAL RESULTS WILL DIFFER FROM RESULTS PROJECTED IN FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND THAT SUCH DIFFERENCES MAY BE MATERIAL. NET LOSSES Although the Company recorded net income for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and March 31, 1998, the Company has recorded annual net losses since inception (October 17, 1994) through December 31, 1997. These net losses have resulted from several factors, including: (i) amortization of intangible assets (acquired software, client contracts and related intangibles, and noncompete agreements and goodwill); (ii) charge for purchased research and development; (iii) charge for impairment of software development costs; (iv) charge for impairment of intangible assets; (v) interest expense; (vi) stock-based employee compensation expense; (vii) extraordinary losses from early extinguishment of debt; and (viii) discontinued operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve or sustain profitability in the future. RELIANCE ON CCS The Company derived approximately 76.7% and 77.3% of its total revenues from its primary product, Communications Control System (CCS), and related products and services in the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. CCS and related products and services are expected to provide the substantial majority of the Company's total revenues in the foreseeable future. The Company's results will depend upon continued market acceptance of CCS and related products and services, as well as the Company's ability to continue to adapt and modify them to meet the changing needs of its clients. Any reduction in demand for CCS would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. DEPENDENCE ON MAJOR CLIENTS During the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, revenues from TCI represented approximately 38.5% and 25.4% of total revenues, and revenues from Time Warner represented 17.8% and 19.5% of total revenues, respectively. As a result of the TCI Contract, revenues derived from TCI are expected to increase as a percentage of revenue. Loss of all or a significant part of the business of either TCI or Time Warner would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. REQUIREMENTS OF THE TCI CONTRACT The TCI Contract requires the conversion of a significant number of additional TCI customers onto the Company's customer care and billing system. the TCI Contract provides certain performance criteria and other obligations to be met by the Company. The Company is subject to various remedies and penalties if it fails to meet the performance criteria or other obligations. The Company is also subject to an annual technical audit to determine whether the Company's products and services include innovations in features and functions that have become standard in the industry. If an audit determines the Company is not providing such an innovation and it fails to do so within the schedule required by the contract, then TCI could be released from its exclusivity obligation to the extent necessary to obtain the innovation from a third party. To fulfill the TCI contract and to remain competitive, the Company believes it will be required to develop new and advanced features to existing products and services, new products and services, and new technologies, all of which will require substantial research and development. TCI also would have the right to terminate the TCI Contract in the event of certain defaults by the Company. The termination of the TCI Contract or of any of TCI's commitments under the contract would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. RENEWAL OF TIME WARNER CONTRACTS The Company provides services to Time Warner under multiple, separate contracts with various Time Warner affiliates. These contracts are scheduled to expire at various times. The failure of Time Warner to renew contracts representing a significant part of its business with the Company would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. CONVERSION TO THE COMPANY'S SYSTEMS The Company's ability to convert new client sites to its customer care and billing systems on a timely and accurate basis is necessary to meet the Company's contractual commitments and to achieve its business objectives. Converting multiple sites under the schedules required by contracts or business requirements is a difficult and complex process. One of the difficulties in the conversion process is that competition for the necessary qualified personnel is intense and the Company may not be successful in attracting and retaining the personnel necessary to complete conversions on a timely and accurate basis. The inability of the Company to perform the conversion process timely and accurately would have a material adverse effect on the results of operations of the Company. DEPENDENCE ON CABLE TELEVISION INDUSTRY The Company's business is concentrated in the cable television industry, making the Company susceptible to a downturn in that industry. During the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company derived 73% and 77%, respectively, of its revenues from companies in the U.S. cable television industry. A decrease in the number of customers served by the Company's clients would result in lower revenues for the Company. in addition, cable television providers are consolidating, decreasing the potential number of buyers for the Company's products and services. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that cable television providers will be successful in expanding into other segments of the converging communications markets. There can be no assurance that new entrants into the cable television market will become clients of the Company. NEW PRODUCTS AND RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE The market for customer care and billing systems is characterized by rapid changes in technology and is highly competitive with respect to the need for timely product innovations and new product introductions. The Company believes that its future success depends upon continued market acceptance of its current products, including CCS and related products and services, and its ability to enhance its current products and develop new products that address the increasingly complex and evolving needs of its clients. In particular, the Company believes that it must respond quickly to clients' needs for additional functionality and distributed architecture for data processing. Substantial research and development will be required to maintain the competitiveness of the Company's products and services in the market. Development projects can be lengthy and costly, and are subject to changing requirements, programming difficulties, a shortage of qualified personnel, and unforeseen factors which can result in delays. There can be no assurance of continued market acceptance of the Company's current products or that the Company will be successful in the timely development of product enhancements or new products that respond to technological advances or changing client needs. CONVERGING COMMUNICATIONS MARKETS The Company's growth strategy is based in large part on the continuing convergence and growth of the cable television, DBS, telecommunications, and on- line services markets. If these markets fail to converge, grow more slowly than anticipated, or if providers in the converging markets do not accept the Company's products and services, there could be a material adverse effect on the Company's growth. COMPETITION The market for the Company's products and services is highly competitive. the Company directly competes with both independent providers of products and services and in-house systems developed by existing and potential clients. Many of the Company's current and potential competitors have significantly greater financial, marketing, technical, and other competitive resources than the Company, and many already have significant international operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully with its existing competitors or with new competitors. CLIENT FAILURE TO RENEW OR UTILIZE CONTRACTS Substantially all of the Company's revenues are derived from the sale of services or products under contracts with its clients. The Company does not have the option to extend unilaterally the contracts upon expiration of their terms. Many of the Company's contracts do not require clients to make any minimum purchases, and contracts are cancelable by clients under certain conditions. ATTRACTION AND RETENTION OF PERSONNEL The Company's future success depends in large part on the continued service of its key management, sales, product development, and operational personnel. The Company is particularly dependent on its executive officers. Only one of those executive officers is party to an employment agreement with the Company, and such agreement is terminable upon 30 days' notice. The Company believes that its future success also depends on its ability to attract and retain highly skilled technical, managerial, and marketing personnel, including, in particular, additional personnel in the areas of research and development and technical support. Competition for qualified personnel skilled in these areas is intense. The Company may not be successful in attracting and retaining the personnel it requires. VARIABILITY OF QUARTERLY RESULTS The Company's quarterly revenues and results, particularly relating to software and professional services, may fluctuate depending on various factors, including the timing of executed contracts and the delivery of contracted services or products, the cancellation of the Company's services and products by existing or new clients, the hiring of additional staff, new product development and other expenses, and changes in sales commission policies. No assurance can be given that results will not vary due to these factors. Fluctuations in quarterly results may result in volatility in the market price of the Company's Common Stock. DEPENDENCE ON PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY The Company relies on a combination of trade secret and copyright laws, patents, nondisclosure agreements, and other contractual and technical measures to protect its proprietary rights in its products. There can be no assurance that these provisions will be adequate to protect its proprietary rights. Although the Company believes that its intellectual property rights do not infringe upon the proprietary rights of third parties, there can be no assurance that third parties will not assert infringement claims against the Company or the Company's clients. INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS The Company's business strategy includes a commitment to the marketing of its products and services internationally, and the Company has acquired and established operations outside of the U.S. The Company is subject to certain inherent risks associated with operating internationally. Risks include product development to meet local requirements such as the conversion to EURO currency, difficulties in staffing and management, reliance on independent distributors or strategic alliance partners, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, compliance with foreign regulatory requirements, variability of foreign economic conditions, changing restrictions imposed by U.S. export laws, and competition from U.S.-based companies which have firmly established significant international operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to manage successfully the risks related to selling its products and services in international markets. INTEGRATION OF ACQUISITIONS As part of its growth strategy, the Company seeks to acquire assets, technology, and businesses that may provide the technology and technical personnel to expedite the Company's product development efforts, provide complementary products or services or provide access to new markets and clients. Acquisitions involve a number of risks and difficulties, including expansion into new geographic markets and business areas, the requirement to understand local business practices, the diversion of management's attention to the assimilation of acquired operations and personnel, potential adverse short-term effects on the Company's operating results, and the amortization of acquired intangible assets. YEAR 2000 The Company's business is dependent upon various computer software programs and operating systems that utilize dates and process data beyond the year 2000. If the actions taken by the Company to mitigate its risks associated with the year 2000 are inadequate, there could be a material adverse effect on the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. See "Year 2000" in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for additional discussion of the Company's efforts concerning year 2000 compliance. RELATIONSHIP WITH FIRST DATA CORPORATION The Company has entered into a data processing services agreement with FDC. The Company is dependent upon FDC to perform these services for the operation of CCS. the inability of FDC to perform these services satisfactorily could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. The existing agreement is scheduled to expire in December 2001. -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
