TAMPA, FL — November 1, 2010 - Sykes Enterprises, Incorporated (“SYKES” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: SYKE), a global leader in providing outsourced customer contact management solutions and services in the business process outsourcing (BPO) arena, announced today third-quarter 2010 financial results.
Third quarter 2010 Highlights
    Third quarter 2010 revenues of $307.0 million increased $93.5 million, or 43.8%, over the comparable quarter last year; third quarter 2010 revenues included $101.2 million in contribution from the ICT acquisition
 
    Third quarter 2010 operating margin was 4.3% versus 9.7% on a comparable basis; on an adjusted basis, a non-GAAP measure, which includes the ICT acquisition but excludes ICT acquisition-related costs (see Exhibit 4 for reconciliation) such as those associated with capacity rationalization and facilities consolidation, third quarter 2010 operating margin was 7.6% versus 10.3%, due to previously-discussed program expirations in both the Americas and EMEA regions beginning in the second-half of 2009, duplicative costs related to migration of demand to near-shore locations in Egypt, Romania and Germany, coupled with unfavorable translation of certain non-dollar denominated expenses and wage increases in certain geographies
 
    Excluding the ICT acquisition and on a constant currency basis, third quarter 2010 revenues decreased 3.9% comparably due to tougher year-ago comparisons driven principally by previously-discussed program expirations, migration of demand to near-shore locations as well as softness in the technology and communications verticals, which more than offset increased demand from the financial services and transportation verticals
 
    Excluding the ICT acquisition, third quarter 2010 operating margins declined 330 basis points (7.0% vs. 10.3%) comparably due principally to previously-discussed client program expirations, unfavorable translation of certain non-dollar denominated expenses, migration costs and wage increases in certain geographies

    Third quarter 2010 diluted earnings per share was $0.29 versus $0.46 in the comparable quarter last year and above the Company’s third quarter 2010 business outlook earnings per share range of $0.18 to $0.22. The decrease in the Company’s third quarter 2010 diluted earnings per share on a comparable basis was due to unfavorable translation of certain non-dollar denominated expenses, an operating loss in the EMEA region due to factors noted above and higher interest expense. Relative to the business outlook, the increase in earnings per share was due to a combination of stronger-than-expected demand, reduced operating losses in EMEA, reduction in compensation expenses and tax benefits
 
    On an adjusted basis, third quarter 2010 diluted earnings per share was $0.43 versus $0.48 per share in the comparable quarter last year and versus an adjusted diluted earnings per share range of $0.24 to $0.26 provided in the Company’s third quarter 2010 business outlook. The decrease on a comparable basis was due to an operating loss in the EMEA region and higher interest expense. Relative to the business outlook, the increase in earnings per share was largely due to aforementioned factors. Assuming a forecasted tax rate of 20% as projected in the Company’s third quarter 2010 business outlook and assuming projected net interest expense of approximately $1.3 million for the third quarter of 2010, adjusted diluted earnings per share would have been $0.38
Americas Region
Revenues generated from the Company’s Americas segment, including operations in North America and offshore (Latin America, South Asia and the Asia Pacific region), increased 66% to $253.9 million, or 82.7% of total revenues, for the third quarter of 2010. Revenues for the prior year period totaled $152.9 million, or 71.6% of total revenues. The ICT acquisition contributed approximately $100.8 million to the Americas third quarter 2010 revenues. Excluding the ICT acquisition and on a constant currency basis, third quarter 2010 Americas revenues decreased 2.9% comparably due principally to expiration of previously-discussed client programs within the communications and technology verticals, which more than offset increased demand from the financial services and transportation verticals.
During the quarter, approximately 50% of the Americas third quarter 2010 revenues was generated from services provided offshore. Excluding the ICT acquisition, approximately 58% of the Americas third quarter 2010 revenues was generated from services provided offshore compared to approximately 60.0% in the prior year quarter, with the percentage decrease due primarily to an increased revenue contribution from the U.S.
Sequentially, revenues generated from the Americas segment increased 3.2% to $253.9 million, or 82.7% of total revenues, in the third quarter of 2010. Second quarter 2010 revenues were $246.0 million, or 82.2% of total revenues. On a constant currency basis, third quarter 2010 Americas revenues increased 3.4% sequentially, driven by the communications, financial services and transportation verticals.
The Americas income from operations for the third quarter of 2010 decreased 10.1% to $25.0 million, with an operating margin of 9.9% versus 18.2% in the comparable quarter last year. On an adjusted basis, which includes the ICT acquisition but excludes ICT acquisition-related costs (see Exhibit 4 for reconciliation) such as those associated with capacity rationalization and facilities consolidation, the Americas operating margin was 13.6% versus 18.4% in the comparable quarter last year. Excluding the ICT acquisition, the Americas operating margin decreased 180 basis points (16.6% vs. 18.4%) comparably due to expiration of certain previously-discussed client programs,

facilities related costs, unfavorable translation of certain non-dollar denominated expenses and wage increases.
Sequentially, the Americas income from operations for the third quarter of 2010 increased 1.7% to $25.0 million, with an operating margin of 9.9% versus 10.0% in the second quarter of 2010. On an adjusted basis, which includes the ICT acquisition but excludes ICT acquisition-related costs (see Exhibit 6) such as those associated with capacity rationalization and facilities consolidation, the Americas operating margins were 13.6% versus 11.5% sequentially due largely to stronger-than-expected revenue growth and the associated operating leverage.
EMEA Region
Revenues from the Company’s Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region decreased 12.3% to $53.1 million, representing 17.3% of SYKES’ total revenues for the third quarter of 2010 compared to $60.6 million, or 28.4% of revenues, in the prior year’s third quarter. The ICT acquisition contributed approximately $0.4 million in revenues to EMEA in the third quarter of 2010. Excluding the ICT acquisition and on a constant currency basis, EMEA revenues decreased 6.4% due largely to previously-discussed client program expirations, near-shore migration and softness within the technology and communications verticals, which more than offset increased demand from the transportation and financial services verticals.
Sequentially, revenues from the Company’s EMEA region decreased 0.2% to $53.1 million, representing 17.3% of SYKES’ total revenues for the third quarter of 2010 compared to $53.2 million, or 17.8% of SYKES’ total revenues in the second quarter of 2010. On a constant currency basis, EMEA revenues decreased 2.6% sequentially due principally to softness in the technology vertical, which more-than-offset renewed demand from the communications vertical, and a continued increase in the financial services and transportation verticals.
The EMEA loss from operations for the third quarter of 2010 was $2.5 million versus an income of $3.9 million in the comparable quarter last year, with an operating margin of negative 4.8% versus a positive 6.4% in the comparable quarter last year. On an adjusted basis, which includes the ICT acquisition but excludes ICT acquisition-related costs (see Exhibit 4 for reconciliation) such as those associated with capacity rationalization and facilities consolidation, the comparable operating margin was a negative 4.1% versus a positive 6.4% in the comparable quarter last year. Excluding the ICT acquisition, the EMEA operating margin was a negative 4.0% versus a positive 6.4% due to soft client demand related to economic weakness, severance costs related to workforce reductions, migration of demand to near-shore locations and the corresponding duplicative labor and facilities ramp costs.
Sequentially, the EMEA loss from operations for the third quarter of 2010 was $2.5 million versus a loss of $3.9 million in the second quarter of 2010, with an operating margin of negative 4.8% versus a negative 7.3% in the second quarter of 2010. On an adjusted basis, which includes the ICT acquisition but excludes ICT acquisition-related costs (see Exhibit 6) such as those associated with capacity rationalization and facilities consolidation, the EMEA operating margin was a negative 4.1% versus a negative 7.3% in the second quarter of 2010. The sequential improvement in the EMEA operating margin was due principally to labor efficiencies and on-going client ramps.
Corporate G&A Expenses
Corporate costs decreased to $9.4 million, or 3.1% of revenues, in the third quarter of 2010, compared to $11.0 million, or 5.2% of revenues, in the comparable quarter last year. On an adjusted basis, which includes the ICT acquisition but excludes ICT acquisition-related costs (see Exhibit 4 for reconciliation), corporate costs decreased 9.6% to $9.0 million, or 2.9% of revenues, from $10.0 million, or 4.7% of revenues, in comparable period last year. Excluding the ICT acquisition, corporate costs declined to $8.8 million, or 4.3% of third quarter 2010 revenues from $10.0 million, or 4.7% of revenues, in the same period last year due principally to lower compensation expenses,

including incentive compensation.
Sequentially, corporate costs decreased to $9.4 million, or 3.1% of revenues, in the third quarter of 2010, from $12.0 million, or 4.0% of revenues, in the second quarter of 2010. On an adjusted basis, which includes the ICT acquisition but excludes ICT acquisition-related costs (see Exhibit 6), corporate costs declined to $9.0 million, or 2.9% of revenues, from $9.7 million, or 3.2% of revenues, in the second quarter of 2010 due principally to lower compensation expenses, including incentive compensation.
Interest & Other Expense and Taxes
Interest and other expense for the third quarter of 2010 totaled approximately $1.7 million compared to other income of $0.5 million for the same period in the prior year. Of the $2.2 million negative swing in interest and other expense, approximately $1.5 million was due to a combination of higher interest expense and related underwriting fees associated with the ICT acquisition-related term loan as well as lower interest income from lower average interest rates on lower cash balances, with the balance attributable to realized and unrealized foreign currency transaction losses which resulted primarily from U.S. dollar denominated assets and liabilities held by the Company’s international subsidiaries.
During the quarter, the Company had a tax benefit of 19.9% versus a tax rate of 11.3% in the same period last year and below the estimated 16% to 18% tax rate range provided in the Company’s third quarter 2010 business outlook. Third quarter 2010 tax benefit was due to a combination of a favorable adjustment of the tax impact related to a deemed change of assertion in 2009, a tax benefit related to the ICT legal entity integration and the release of a reserve related to an expired statute of limitations. On an adjusted basis, which includes the ICT acquisition but excludes ICT acquisition-related costs such as those associated with capacity rationalization and facilities consolidation, third quarter 2010 tax rate was 8.0% versus 11.9% in the same period last year and below the estimated 19% to 21% tax rate range provided in the Company’s third quarter 2010 business outlook. The lower-than-expected tax rate on an adjusted basis both relative to last year and the business outlook was due largely to the above-mentioned factors.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s balance sheet at September 30, 2010 remained strong with cash and cash equivalents of $202.8 million (excluding restricted cash of $0.6 million). Approximately $191.2 million of the Company’s September 30th cash balance was held in international operations and would be subject to additional taxes if repatriated back to the U.S. During the quarter, the Company paid down the remaining $52.5 million left on its three-year term loan related to the ICT acquisition. At September 30, 2010, the Company had no debt and $75 million of undrawn borrowing capacity available under its revolving credit facility. Cash flow from operations for the third quarter of 2010 was up 13% to $29.8 million versus $26.3 million in same period last year.
Business Outlook
The assumptions driving the business outlook are as follows:
    The Company is raising its implied fourth-quarter 2010 revenue range based on stronger-than-expected demand in the third quarter of 2010. This, in turn, is driving upward its previously-announced full-year 2010 revenue range. The upward revision in implied revenues for fourth quarter 2010 is driven largely by demand within the Americas region and, to some extent, favorable foreign exchange rates, most notably a stronger Euro. Although it is still early to determine the sustainability of the up-tick in underlying demand within the Americas region, recent indications are encouraging. Meanwhile, the EMEA region, where demand remains soft, could be in the process of bottoming as

      revenue growth rate declines appear to be moderating. This is being aided largely by the Company’s strategic decision to broaden its near-shore delivery offering for the EMEA market, which continues to gain traction among clients;
    The Company remains on track to achieving its implied fourth-quarter 2010 synergy target of approximately $9 million and its previously-announced full-year 2010 synergy target of approximately $25 million. It is raising its long-term projected synergy target further to a range of $34 million to $36 million from a range of $28 million to $30 million. This upward revision is driven by the capacity rationalization and facilities consolidation announced on October 25th, 2010, related to the ICT acquisition, which is expected to continue through the first half of 2011 and could further impact earnings per share relative to the business outlook for the fourth-quarter and full-year 2010;
    The Company’s revenues and adjusted earnings per share assumptions are based on foreign exchange rates as of October 2010. Therefore, the continued volatility in foreign exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the functional currencies of the markets the Company serves could have a significant impact, positive or negative, on revenues and adjusted earnings per share relative to the business outlook for the fourth quarter and full-year;
    The Company anticipates net interest income in the fourth quarter to be negligible as lower interest income resulting from lower interest rates is largely offset by the amortization of deferred loan fees related to the credit facility, though other income or expense excludes the impact of additional foreign exchange gains or losses; and
    The Company anticipates a higher tax rate in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to the actual tax rate in the third quarter of 2010 as there were discrete adjustments that drove the third quarter 2010 tax rates.
Considering the above factors, the Company anticipates the following financial results for the three months ended December 31, 2010:
  Revenues in the range of $307.0 million to $310.0 million
 
  Tax rate of approximately 18% to 20%, on an adjusted basis, a tax rate of approximately 25% to 27%%
 
  Fully diluted share count of approximately 46.4 million
 
  *Diluted earnings per share of approximately $0.22 to $0.25
 
  Adjusted diluted earnings per share in the range of $0.30 to $0.33
 
  Capital expenditures in the range of $7.0 million to $10.0 million
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, the Company anticipates the following financial results:
  Revenues in the range of $1,188 million to $1,191 million
 
  Tax rate of approximately 4% to 6%, on adjusted basis, a tax rate of 23% to 25%
 
  Fully diluted share count of approximately 46.2 million
 
  *Diluted earnings per share in the range of $0.37 to $0.40
 
  Adjusted diluted earnings per share in the range of $1.05 to $1.08
 
  Capital expenditures in the range of $29.0 million to $32.0 million
