FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CSG SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL REPORTS RESULTS

FOR SECOND QUARTER 2011

ENGLEWOOD, COLO. (August 2, 2011) — CSG Systems International, Inc. (Nasdaq: CSGS), a leading provider of customer interaction management and billing solutions, today reported results for the quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Key Financial Highlights:

 

 

Second quarter 2011 results:

 

   

Total revenues were $181.3 million.

 

   

Non-GAAP operating income was $32.7 million, or 18.0% of total revenues and GAAP operating income was $22.4 million, or 12.3% of total revenues.

 

   

Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share (EPS) was $0.49, which includes a negative $0.03 per share impact as a result of a higher than expected income tax rate. GAAP EPS was $0.27.

 

   

Cash flows from operations for the quarter were $0.7 million, and were negatively impacted by unexpected changes in working capital, primarily as a result of the timing of payments from a significant client which were received after quarter end.

 

 

As anticipated, in June, holders of CSG’s 2004 convertible debt securities exercised their put option, and CSG paid $24.1 million for the par value of this debt. The remaining $1 million of this debt was called by CSG in June, retiring this issuance of bonds in their entirety in July.

“We are undergoing a significant transformation of our company – going from a North American-based provider of outsourced services, to a global provider with a wide variety of delivery models,” said Peter Kalan, President and Chief Executive Officer of CSG International. “We expected the transformation would require us to execute at a level and pace we knew would be challenging. We set our goals high – however, we got off to a slower than expected start to the year. Based on what we see today, we are not progressing at the pace we previously expected.

“Although we now believe it will take longer to achieve some of our near-term goals, we still believe that the decisions we have made, in particular the Intec Telecom acquisition, are the right long-term decisions for the company,” Kalan added. “We have enhanced our product offerings, expanded our geographic reach, improved the diversity of our client base and increased the number of ways we can help our clients be successful.”

Results of Operations

Revenues: Total revenues for the second quarter of 2011 were $181.3 million, a 38% increase when compared to revenues of $131.3 million for the second quarter of 2010, with the increase attributed to the inclusion of the financial results from Intec Telecom in 2011, which was acquired on November 30, 2010. Revenues for the first quarter of 2011 were $183.1 million. The sequential quarterly decrease can be primarily attributed to a full quarter’s impact of the discount provided to DISH for their seven-year contract extension and lower client discretionary spending for ancillary services.

Non-GAAP Results: Non-GAAP operating income for the second quarter of 2011 was $32.7 million, or 18.0% of total revenues, which compares to $29.7 million, or 22.6%, for the same period in 2010. The 18% non-GAAP operating margin is consistent with the company’s expectations as it reflects the lower margin profile of Intec’s global software and services business. Non-GAAP operating income for the first quarter of 2011 was $33.0 million, or 18.0%.

Non-GAAP EPS for the second quarter of 2011 was $0.49, compared to non-GAAP EPS of $0.53 for the second quarter of 2010, with the decrease primarily the result of a higher effective income tax rate for the quarter, caused by unanticipated losses in certain foreign entities for which a tax benefit for those losses cannot be taken at this time. The negative impact of this higher than expected effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2011 was $0.03 per diluted share. Non-GAAP EPS for the first quarter of 2011 was $0.54.

GAAP Results: GAAP operating income for the second quarter of 2011 was $22.4 million, or 12.3% of total revenues, compared to $14.8 million, or 11.2%, for the same period in 2010. The data center migration expenses reduced operating income by $10.6 million for the second quarter 2010, with no such comparable expenses in 2011.

GAAP EPS for the second quarter of 2011 was $0.27, compared to $0.35 for the second quarter of 2010. GAAP EPS for the second quarter of 2011, when compared to GAAP EPS for the second quarter of 2010 was impacted by the following items:

 

   

the $4.8 million of amortization of acquired intangible assets related to the Intec acquisition, which negatively impacted GAAP EPS by $0.09 per diluted share; and

 

   

restructuring charges of $1.3 million, which negatively impacted GAAP EPS by $0.02 per diluted share.

Additionally, GAAP EPS for the second quarter of 2010 was impacted by the following items, for which there were no comparable amounts in the second quarter of 2011:

 

   

the data center transition expenses of $10.6 million, which negatively impacted the second quarter of 2010 GAAP EPS by $0.20 per diluted share; and

 

   

favorable adjustments to our income tax reserves of approximately $4 million as a result of the completion of an IRS examination during the second quarter of 2010, which provided a positive GAAP EPS impact of $0.13 per diluted share.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flows

Balance Sheet: Certain key balance sheet items as of the end of the indicated quarters are as follows (in thousands):

(1) The sequential decrease in cash and investments and long-term debt during the second quarter of 2011 reflects CSG’s $24 million payment of its 2004 convertible debt securities, which, as anticipated, were put back to the company in June 2011.
(2) The sequential increase in net trade accounts receivable of approximately $18 million during the second quarter of 2011 is primarily due to the timing of payments from a significant client, which were received after quarter end.

Cash Flows: Certain key operating cash flow items for the indicated periods then ended are as follows (in thousands):

 

     June 30,

    March 31,

    June 30,

Cash Flows from Investing Activities:

      

Purchases of property and equipment

   $ (6,811   $ (4,250   $ (3,471

 

(3) As a result of CSG’s payment of its convertible debt securities, discussed in Note 1 above, $6 million of deferred income tax liabilities associated with the debt became payable, thus negatively impacting the operations portion of CSG’s cash flows from operating activities.
(4) The changes in operating assets and liabilities for the second quarter of 2011 were negatively impacted by the increase in accounts receivable, discussed in Note 2 above, in addition to decreases in deferred revenue and accrued liabilities. These unfavorable changes were partially offset by the increase in income taxes payable, discussed in Note 3 above. Thus, the tax impact related to the convertible debt securities on CSG’s overall cash flows from operating activities for the second quarter of 2011 was neutral.

SUPPLEMENTAL REVENUE ANALYSIS

CSG International completed its acquisition of Intec Telecom Systems on November 30, 2010. Therefore, CSG included Intec’s financial results for one month in its fourth quarter and full year results ended December 31, 2010, and for a full three months in its first and second quarters ended March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011.

By integrating Intec’s significantly higher global revenue base, CSG increased its geographic revenue diversification and decreased its customer concentration, as noted in the tables below:

DISCLOSURES FOR NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Limitations

To supplement its condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), CSG uses non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP EPS, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, and non-GAAP free cash flow. CSG believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when reviewed in conjunction with its GAAP financial measures, provide investors with greater transparency to the information used by CSG’s management in its financial and operational decision making. CSG uses these non-GAAP financial measures for the following purposes:

 

   

Certain internal financial planning, reporting, and analysis;

 

   

Forecasting and budgeting purposes;

 

   

Certain management compensation incentives; and

 

   

Communications with CSG’s Board of Directors, stockholders, financial analysts, and investors.

These non-GAAP financial measures are provided with the intent of providing investors with the following information:

 

   

A more complete understanding of CSG’s underlying operational results, trends, and cash generating capabilities;

 

   

Consistency and comparability with CSG’s historical financial results; and

 

   

Comparability to similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not measures of performance under GAAP, and therefore should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial information. Limitations with the use of non-GAAP financial measures include the following items:

 

   

Non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles;

 

   

The way in which CSG calculates non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the way in which other companies calculate similar non-GAAP financial measures;

 

   

Non-GAAP financial measures do not include all items of income and expense that affect CSG’s operations and that are required by GAAP to be included in financial statements;

 

   

Certain adjustments to CSG’s non-GAAP financial measures result in the exclusion of items that are recurring and will be reflected in CSG’s financial statements in future periods; and

 

   

Certain charges excluded from CSG’s non-GAAP financial measures are cash expenses, and therefore do impact CSG’s cash position.

CSG compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on its GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures as a supplement only. Additionally, CSG provides specific information regarding the treatment of GAAP amounts considered in preparing the non-GAAP financial measures and reconciles each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures: Basis of Presentation

(1) The data center transition project and the Intec acquisition were completed in 2010, and thus, there are no anticipated costs for either of these items in 2011.

CSG believes that excluding certain items in calculating its non-GAAP financial measures provides meaningful supplemental information regarding CSG’s performance and these items are excluded for the following reasons:

 

   

The data center transition expenses are not considered reflective of CSG’s recurring core business operating results. The exclusion of these items in calculating CSG’s non-GAAP financial measures allows management and investors an additional means to compare CSG’s current operating results with historical and future periods.

 

   

The Intec acquisition-related charges relate to certain direct and incremental expenses related to the acquisition of Intec, and thus, are not considered reflective of CSG’s recurring core business operating results. These charges include expenses related to the following: (i) restructuring; (ii) investment banking, legal, accounting, and other professional services; and (iii) costs primarily related to the settlement of foreign currency hedging instruments associated with the funding of the Intec acquisition. The exclusion of these charges in calculating CSG’s non-GAAP financial measures allows management and investors an additional means to compare CSG’s current financial results with historical and future periods.

 

   

Restructuring charges are infrequent expenses that result from cost reduction initiatives and/or significant changes to CSG’s business, to include such things as involuntary employee terminations, and facility consolidations and abandonments. These charges are not considered reflective of CSG’s recurring core business operating results. The exclusion of these items in calculating CSG’s non-GAAP financial measures allows management and investors an additional means to compare CSG’s current operating results with historical and future periods.

 

   

Stock-based compensation results from CSG’s issuance of its common stock to its employees under incentive compensation programs. The amount of this incentive compensation in any period is not generally linked to the level of performance by employees or CSG, but instead is more dependent on CSG’s stock price at the stock grant date, and the employee service period over which the equity awards vest. The exclusion of these expenses in calculating CSG’s non-GAAP financial measures allows management and investors an additional means to evaluate the non-cash expense related to

compensation included in CSG’s results of operations. In addition, the stock-based compensation expense is a non-cash expense, and therefore the exclusion of this item allows investors to further evaluate the cash generating capabilities of CSG’s business.

 

   

Amortization of acquired intangible assets is the result of business acquisitions. A portion of the purchase price in an acquisition is allocated to the intangible assets (e.g., software, client relationships, etc.) acquired, which are then amortized to expense over their estimated useful lives. This annual amortization expense is generally unchanged from the initial estimates, regardless of performance of the acquired business in any one period. Also, the value assigned to acquired intangible assets in a business combination is based on various estimates and valuation techniques, and does not necessarily represent the costs CSG would incur to develop such capabilities internally. Additionally, amortization of acquired intangible assets can be inconsistent in amount and frequency, and can be significantly affected by the timing and size of an acquisition. The exclusion of these expenses in calculating CSG’s non-GAAP financial measures allows management and investors an additional means to evaluate the non-cash expense related to acquisitions included in CSG’s subsequent results of operations. In addition, the amortization of acquired intangible assets is a non-cash expense, and therefore the exclusion of this item allows investors to further evaluate the cash generating capabilities of CSG’s business.

 

   

The convertible debt securities OID is the result of allocating a portion of the principal balance of the debt at issuance to the equity component of the instrument, as required under current accounting rules. This OID is then amortized to interest expense over the life of the respective convertible debt instrument. The interest expense related to the amortization of the OID is a non-cash expense, and therefore the exclusion of this item allows investors to further evaluate the cash interest costs of CSG’s convertible debt securities for cash flow, liquidity, and debt service purposes.

 

   

Gains and losses related to the repurchase of CSG’s convertible debt securities are not considered reflective of CSG’s recurring core business operating results. The exclusion of these gains and losses in calculating CSG’s non-GAAP financial measures allows management and investors an additional means to compare CSG’s current operating results with historical and future periods.

 

   

Unusual items within CSG’s quarterly and/or annual income tax expense can occur from such things as income tax accounting timing matters, income taxes related to unusual events, or as a result of different treatment of certain items for book accounting and income tax purposes. Consideration of such items in calculating CSG’s non-GAAP financial measures allows management and investors an additional means to compare CSG’s current financial results with historical and future periods.

CSG also reports non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP free cash flow. Management believes non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure to investors in evaluating CSG’s operating performance, liquidity, debt servicing capabilities, and enterprise valuation. CSG defines adjusted EBITDA as income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, foreign currency transaction adjustments, and unusual items, such as the data center transition expenses, restructuring charges, and Intec acquisition-related charges, as discussed above. Additionally, management uses non-GAAP free cash flow, among other measures, to assess its financial performance and cash generating capabilities, and believes that it is useful to investors because it shows CSG’s cash available to service debt, make strategic acquisitions and investments, repurchase its common stock, and fund ongoing operations. CSG defines non-GAAP free cash flow as net cash flows from operating activities less the purchases of property and equipment.

(2) These items (on a pretax basis) are calculated in accordance with GAAP, and are reflected as part of the results of operations in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
(3) These items represent the estimated after-tax impact to net income on a per diluted share basis using: (i) the estimated income taxes related to these items, which includes the impact of the difference between GAAP and non-GAAP pretax income. This resulted in estimated effective income rates for non-GAAP purposes of 41% and 39% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively; and (ii) the weighted-average diluted shares outstanding of 33.2 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011.
(4) These items (excluding the one-time adjustments to income tax reserves discussed in Note 5 below) represent the estimated after-tax impact to net income on a per diluted share basis using the following: (i) the estimated income taxes related to these items, which resulted in an overall estimated effective income tax rate of approximately 38% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010; and (ii) the weighted-average diluted shares outstanding of 33.1 million and 33.6 million, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010.
(5) For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010, CSG’s GAAP income tax expense included an approximate $4 million income tax benefit related to the completion of the IRS examination of CSG’s Federal income tax returns for fiscal years 2006, 2007, and 2008. Under current accounting rules, CSG was required to establish income tax reserves related to the uncertainty in the realization of certain tax credits and incentives over the last several years. Upon successful completion of the IRS examination which validated CSG’s filing position, favorable adjustments to these income tax reserves were necessary. The impact of the one-time tax benefit related to the adjustments to these income tax reserves is not considered reflective of CSG’s normal income tax expense. As a result, for purposes of calculating its non-GAAP EPS for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010, CSG has excluded the income tax benefit related to the one-time adjustments to income tax reserves.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures – 2011 Financial Guidance

Non-GAAP Operating Income:

The reconciliation of GAAP operating income margin to non-GAAP operating income margin, as included in CSG’s 2011 full year financial guidance, is as follows:

 

     2011
Guidance
 

GAAP operating income margin

     13

Restructuring charges (8)

     —     

Stock-based compensation (9)

     2

Amortization of acquired intangible assets (10)

     3
  

 

 

 

Non-GAAP operating income margin (“approximately 18%”)

     18
  

 

 

 

 

(8) This represents the pretax impact of restructuring charges of an estimated $3 million on CSG’s operating income margin as a percentage of the midpoint of 2011 revenue guidance.
(9) This represents the pretax impact of stock-based compensation expense of an estimated $13 million on CSG’s operating income margin as a percentage of the midpoint of 2011 revenue guidance.
(10) This represents the pretax impact of amortization of acquired intangible assets expenses of an estimated $23 million on CSG’s operating income margin as a percentage of the midpoint of 2011 revenue guidance.

Non-GAAP EPS:

The reconciliation of GAAP EPS to non-GAAP EPS as included in CSG’s 2011 full year financial guidance is as follows:

 

     2011 Guidance Range (11)  
     Low Range      High Range  

GAAP EPS

   $ 1.18       $ 1.30   

Restructuring (12)

     0.07         0.07   

Stock-based compensation (13)

     0.27         0.26   

Amortization of acquired intangible assets (14)

     0.46         0.45   

Amortization of OID (15)

     0.10         0.10   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

Non-GAAP EPS

   $ 2.08       $ 2.18   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

 

(11) The estimated after-tax impact of these items is calculated using: (i) the estimated income taxes related to these items, which includes the impact of the difference between GAAP and non-GAAP pretax income, resulting in an estimated effective income rate for non-GAAP purposes of approximately 39%; and (ii) the estimated weighted-average diluted shares outstanding of 33.2 million.
(12) This represents the estimated after-tax impact on a per diluted share basis of the full year restructuring charges of approximately $3 million.
(13) This represents the estimated after-tax impact on a per diluted share basis of the full year stock-based compensation expense of approximately $13 million.
(14) This represents the estimated after-tax impact on a per diluted share basis of the full year amortization of acquired intangible assets expense of approximately $23 million.
(15) This represents the estimated after-tax impact on a per diluted share basis of the full year expense related to the amortization of the OID expense for CSG’s convertible debt securities of approximately $5 million.
