6 ICT GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) Note 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the complete fiscal year. For additional information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996. Note 2: PRO FORMA INFORMATION Pro Forma Income Data Shortly before the effective date of the Company's initial public offering in June 1996, the Company terminated its status as an S Corporation and became subject to federal and state income taxes. Accordingly, for informational purposes, the accompanying statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 include a pro forma adjustment for the income taxes which would have been recorded if the Company had not been an S Corporation, based on the tax laws in effect during the period. For the three months ended March 31, 1997, the Company was fully subject to federal and state income taxes. Note 3: EARNINGS PER SHARE Pro Forma Net Income Per Share Pro forma net income per share for the three months ended March 31, 1996 was calculated by dividing pro forma net income by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding for the respective periods, adjusted for the dilutive effect of Common Stock equivalents, if applicable, which consist of stock options, using the treasury stock method. Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Common Stock equivalents issued by the Company during the twelve months immediately preceding the Offering have been included in the calculation of the shares used in computing pro forma net income per share as if they were outstanding for all periods presented. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per Share", which the Company is required to adopt for both interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 128 simplifies the EPS calculation by replacing primary EPS with basic EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing reported earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution from the exercise or conversion of securities into common stock, such as stock options. Early application is prohibited, although footnote disclosure of pro forma EPS amounts is required. For the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 the Company believes the effect of the application of SFAS No. 128 would be immaterial. 7 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS MARCH 31, 1997 GENERAL ICT is an independent provider of call center teleservices, which consists of outbound and inbound telemarketing and customer support services, together with related value-added services such as marketing, research, management and consulting services, to businesses domestically and internationally. The Company's call center management experience, technological leadership and expertise in target industries enable it to provide clients with high quality, cost-effective call center services. In addition to supporting customers' teleservice programs from its own call centers, the Company is pursuing additional opportunities to manage clients' call centers on a contract basis. The Company has broadened its market position from its original outbound consumer telemarketing orientation to its present range of call center services through both internal growth and a series of strategic acquisitions. ICT has expanded beyond its traditional markets of insurance, financial services, publishing and telecommunications to include the pharmaceutical, health care services and computer software and hardware industries, which are emerging as areas of rapid growth in the use and outsourcing of call center teleservices. The Company intends to pursue continued expansion through a combination of internal growth, strategic alliances, and acquisitions of domestic and international businesses that provide teleservices that are complementary to ICT's core telemarketing expertise. With the increasing use of teleservices by businesses and the trend toward outsourcing call center activities, ICT believes significant opportunities exist to expand its business. The Company's growth strategy includes the following key elements: / / Pursue Outsourced Call Center Management Opportunities / / Increase International Presence. / / Develop Strategic Alliances and Acquisitions / / Expand Value-Added Marketing Services / / Maintain Industry Specialization / / Maintain Technology Leadership / / Continue Commitment to Quality Service 8 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Three Months Ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 Net Revenues. Net revenues increased 26% to $20.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 from $16.2 million for the comparable period in 1996 primarily due to revenue growth in the Company's teleservice division. Teleservice division revenues increased 29% from $13.1 million in the first quarter of 1996 to $16.9 million in the first quarter of 1997 resulting from continued strong growth throughout all international teleservice markets. ICT International Teleservice revenues were $3.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 1997, an increase of 166% over ICT International Teleservice revenues in the same period in 1996. Domestic teleservice revenues increased 17% to $13.9 million in the first quarter of 1997 from $11.9 million in the first quarter of 1996 reflecting growth in insurance and telecommunication applications. Combined net revenues from managed and marketing services divisions increased 14% to $3.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 1997 from $3.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 1996. The marketing services division experienced a decline in net revenues in the first quarter of 1997 compared to the first quarter of 1996, due to reductions in financial marketing services projects. This decline was more than offset by revenues from managed services operations, which commenced operations in the second quarter of 1996. Cost of Service. Cost of services increased 30% to $11.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 from $8.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 1996 due to an increased direct labor force to support the increased revenue volume over the first quarter of 1996 and a higher utilization of more expensive temporary labor personnel as a component of the increased work force. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 24% in the first quarter of 1997 to $8.4 million from $6.8 million in the first three months of 1996 due to the expansion of call centers, internationally as well as domestically, since the first quarter of 1996; the addition of a managed services business unit which began operations in the latter part of the second quarter; and the addition of customer sales and support for domestic and international operations. Interest Expense (Income), net. Net interest income of $138,000 in the first quarter reflects the investment of funds obtained through the Company's initial public offering slightly offset by interest expense related to capital leases and borrowings against the Company's equipment line of credit for capital expansion. Subsequent to the Company's initial public offering in June 1996, the Company repaid all indebtedness under its revolving line of credit and term loans with its bank and subordinated debt. In 1997 the Company intends to finance capital equipment purchases under its equipment line of credit. In the first quarter of 1997 the Company borrowed approximately $810,000 under its equipment line. Pro Forma Provision For Income Taxes. Prior to the effective date of the Company's initial public offering, the Company was subject to taxation under Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, the net income of the Company, for federal and state tax purposes, had been reported by and taxed directly to the Company's shareholders. Subsequent to its initial public offering, the Company has been fully subject to federal and state income taxes. 9 Quarterly Results and Seasonality The Company has experienced and expects to continue to experience significant quarterly variations in operating results, principally as a result of the timing of clients' telemarketing campaigns, the commencement and expiration of contracts, the timing and amount of new business generated by the Company, the Company's revenue mix, the timing of additional selling, general and administrative expenses to support the growth and development of new business units and the competitive conditions in the telemarketing industry. The Company's business tends to be strongest in the fourth quarter due to the high level of client telemarketing activity prior to the holiday season. In the first quarter, business generally slows as a result of reduced telemarketing activities and client transitions to new marketing programs during the first quarter of the calendar year. In addition, the Company typically expands its operations in the first quarter to support anticipated business growth beginning in the second quarter. As a result, selling, general and administrative costs typically increase in the first quarter without a commensurate increase in revenues, which results in decreased profitability for the first quarter versus the previous fourth quarter. Also, demand for the Company's services typically slows or decreases in the third quarter as the volume of telemarketing projects decreases during the summer months. In addition, the Company's operating expenses increase during the third quarter in anticipation of higher demand for its services during the fourth quarter. Liquidity and Capital Resources Historically, ICT's primary sources of liquidity have been cash flow from operations and borrowing on its bank revolving line of credit. Acquisitions and capital expenditures have been financed through bank term loans and capitalized lease obligations. The Company has utilized any excess cash from operations to repay its revolving bank line and, historically, has maintained minimum cash balances. Cash provided by operating activities was $877,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to $614,000 for the same period in 1996 which resulted from increased earnings before depreciation and amortization and reduced working capital requirements. Cash provided by financing activities was $576,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to $181,000 for the same period in 1996. In the first quarter of 1997 the Company's capital expenditures were $3.1million reflecting an increase to 2,148 in the number of work stations at March 31, 1997 from 2,068 at December 31, 1996, upgraded telephony equipment and continued development and implementation of Informix and IMA/Edge Software. The Company's telemarketing activities will continue to require significant capital expenditures. Historically, equipment purchases have been financed through the Company's equipment line of credit and through capitalized lease obligations with various equipment vendors and lending institutions. The lease obligations are payable in varying installments through 2001. Outstanding obligations under capitalized leases and its equipment line of credit at March 31, 1997 were $3.9 million. The Company maintains an equipment line of credit of $3.5 million with a bank. The line of credit expires in June 1997. The Company is currently negotiating increases in its equipment line of credit and intends to finance capital purchases under this line during 1997. 10 The Company maintains a revolving line of credit with a bank of $15.0 million. Borrowings on the line of credit are limited to 80% of eligible accounts receivable and bear interest at the bank's prime rate (8.50% at March 31, 1997). At March 31, 1997, there were no borrowings outstanding under the line of credit. The line of credit expires on June 30, 1997. The Company is currently negotiating increases in its domestic financing arrangements, as well as seeking similar arrangements for its international operations. The Company believes that the funds generated from operations, together with the net proceeds to the Company from the offering and available credit under its line of credit and equipment line, will be sufficient to finance its current operations and planned capital expenditures at least through 1998.
