(UNAUDITED)

(1)OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Summary of Business

TeleTech Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“TeleTech” or the “Company”) is a customer engagement management services provider, delivering integrated consulting, technology, growth and customer care solutions on a global scale. Our suite of product and service capabilities allows us to design and deliver enhanced, value-driven customer experiences across numerous communication channels. TeleTech’s 44,000 employees serve clients in the automotive, communication, financial services, government, healthcare, logistics, media and entertainment, retail, technology, transportation and travel industries via operations in the U.S., Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Costa Rica, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Lebanon, Macedonia, Mexico, New Zealand, the Philippines, Poland, Singapore, South Africa, Thailand, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom.

Basis of Presentation

The Consolidated Financial Statements are comprised of the accounts of TeleTech, its wholly owned subsidiaries, its 55% equity owned subsidiary Percepta, LLC, and its 80% interest in iKnowtion, LLC. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company and the consolidated results of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and the consolidated cash flows of the Company. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015.

These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited Consolidated financial Statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates including those related to derivatives and hedging activities, income taxes including the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, self-insurance reserves, litigation reserves, restructuring reserves, allowance for doubtful accounts, contingent consideration, and valuation of goodwill, long-lived and intangible assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs”.  ASU 2015-03 requires all costs incurred in connection with the issuance of debt to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability. This ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating when it will adopt the standard but does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operation or related disclosures.

(2)        ACQUISITIONS & INVESTMENTS

rogenSi

In the third quarter of 2014, as an addition to the Customer Strategy Services (“CSS”) segment, the Company acquired substantially all operating assets of rogenSi Worldwide PTY, Ltd., a global leadership, change management, sales, performance training and consulting company.

The total purchase price was $34.4 million, subject to certain working capital adjustments, and consists of $18.1 million in cash at closing and an estimated $14.5 million in three earn-out payments, contingent on the acquired companies and TeleTech’s CSS segment achieving certain agreed earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) targets, as defined in the sale and purchase agreement. Additionally, the estimated purchase price included a $1.8 million hold-back payment for contingencies as defined in the sale and purchase agreement which will be paid in the first quarter of 2016, if required. The total contingent consideration possible per the sale and purchase agreement ranges from zero to $17.6 million and the earn-out payments are payable in early 2015, 2016 and 2017, based on July 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014, and full year 2015 and 2016 performance, respectively.

The fair value of the contingent consideration was measured by applying a probability weighted discounted cash flow model based on significant inputs not observable in the market (Level 3 inputs). Key assumptions include a discount rate of 4.6% and expected future value of payments of $15.3 million. The $15.3 million of expected future payments was calculated using a probability weighted EBITDA assessment with the highest probability associated with rogenSi achieving the targeted EBITDA for each earn-out year. As of the acquisition date, the fair value of the contingent consideration was approximately $14.5 million. During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company recorded a fair value adjustment of the contingent consideration of $0.5 million based on revised estimates noting higher probability of exceeding the EBITDA targets (see Note 7). As of March 31, 2015, the fair value of the contingent consideration was $15.3 million, of which $11.3 million and $4.0 million were included in Other accrued expenses and Other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively.

The following summarizes the preliminary estimated fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (in thousands):

	Preliminary Estimate of Acquisition Date Fair Value
Cash	$	2,670
Accounts receivable, net	6,417
Other assets	2,880
Property, plant and equipment	578
Deferred tax assets, net	449
Customer relationships	9,348
Goodwill	20,927
	43,269
Accounts payable	708
Accrued employee compensation and benefits	2,203
Accrued expenses	1,146

Total purchase price	$	34,369

(UNAUDITED)

The estimates of fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary, pending completion of a valuation, thus are subject to revisions that may result in adjustments to the values presented above.

The rogenSi customer relationships have been estimated based on similar acquisitions and are amortized over an estimated useful life of five years. The goodwill recognized from the rogenSi acquisition is estimated to be attributable, but not limited to, the acquired workforce and expected synergies within CSS. None of the tax basis of the acquired intangibles and goodwill will be deductible for income tax purposes. The acquired goodwill and the operating results of rogenSi are reported, as its own reporting unit, within the CSS segment from the date of acquisition.

Sofica

In the first quarter of 2014, as an addition to the Customer Management Services (“CMS”) segment, the Company acquired a 100% interest in Sofica Group, a Bulgarian joint stock company (“Sofica”). Sofica provides customer lifecycle management and other business process services across multiple channels in multiple sites in over 18 languages.

The purchase price of $14.2 million included $9.4 million in cash consideration (including working capital adjustments) and an estimated $3.8 million in earn-out payments, payable in 2015 and 2016, contingent on Sofica achieving specified EBITDA targets, as defined by the stock purchase agreement. The total contingent consideration possible per the stock purchase agreement ranges from zero to $7.5 million. Additionally, the purchase price includes a $1.0 million hold-back payment for contingencies as defined in the stock purchase agreement which will be paid in the second quarter of 2016, if required.

The fair value of the contingent consideration was measured based on significant inputs not observable in the market (Level 3 inputs). Key assumptions include a discount rate of 5.0% and expected future value of payments of $4.0 million. The $4.0 million of expected future payments was calculated using a probability weighted EBITDA assessment with the highest probability associated with Sofica achieving the targeted EBITDA for each earn-out year. As of the acquisition date, the fair value of the contingent consideration was approximately $3.8 million. During the third and fourth quarters of 2014, the Company recorded fair value adjustments of the contingent consideration of $1.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively based on revised estimates noting higher probability of exceeding the EBITDA targets (see Note 7). As of March 31, 2015, the fair value of the contingent consideration was $6.4 million, of which $3.6 million and $2.8 million were included in Other accrued expenses and Other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively.

Financial Impact of Acquired Businesses

The acquired businesses purchased in 2014 noted above contributed revenues of $12.6 million and income from operations of $1.1 million, inclusive of $0.7 million of acquired intangible amortization, to the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Investments

Café X

In the first quarter of 2015, the Company invested $9.0 million in CafeX Communications, Inc. (“CafeX”) through the purchase of a portion of the Series B Preferred Stock of CafeX. After the transaction, the Company owns 17.3% of the total equity of CafeX. CaféX is a provider of omni-channel web-based real time communication (WebRTC) solutions that enhance mobile applications and websites with in-app video communication and screen share technology to increase customer satisfaction and enterprise efficiency. TeleTech anticipates deploying the CafeX technology as part of the TeleTech customer experience offerings within the CMS business segment and as part of its Humanify platform.

(4)        SIGNIFICANT CLIENTS AND OTHER CONCENTRATIONS

The Company had one client that contributed in excess of 10% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. This client operates in the communications industry and is included in the Customer Management Services segment. This client contributed 10.9% and 11.6% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. This client had an outstanding receivable balance of $37.6 million and $32.3 million as of March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The loss of one or more of its significant clients could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, or financial condition. The Company does not require collateral from its clients. To limit the Company’s credit risk, management performs periodic credit evaluations of its clients and maintains allowances for uncollectible accounts and may require pre-payment for services. Although the Company is impacted by economic conditions in various industry segments, management does not believe significant credit risk existed as of March 31, 2015.

The Company performs a goodwill impairment assessment on at least an annual basis. The Company conducts its annual goodwill impairment assessment during the fourth quarter, or more frequently, if indicators of impairment exist.

The Company concluded that goodwill for all reporting units was not impaired at December 1, 2014. While no impairment indicators were identified, due to the small margin of fair value in excess of carrying value for two reporting units, Revana (approximately 6.0%) and WebMetro (approximately 11%), these reporting units remain at considerable risk for future impairment if projected operating results are not met or other inputs into the fair value measurement change.

At March 31, 2015, the Company updated its quantitative assessment of these reporting units fair value using an income based approach. The determination of fair value requires significant judgments including estimation of future cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term growth rates for the businesses, the useful lives over which the cash flows will occur and determination of appropriate discount rates (based in part on the Company’s weighted average cost of capital). Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or conclusions on goodwill impairment for each reporting unit. As of March 31, 2015, the updated fair values continue to exceed the carrying values for Revana (approximately 12%) and WebMetro (approximately 17%). The Company will continue to review the calculated fair value of these reporting units until the fair value is substantially in excess of its carrying value.

(6)DERIVATIVES

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company enters into foreign exchange and interest rate related derivatives. Foreign exchange derivatives entered into consist of forward and option contracts to reduce the Company’s exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations that are associated with forecasted revenue earned in foreign locations. Interest rate derivatives consist of interest rate swaps to reduce the Company’s exposure to interest rate fluctuations associated with its variable rate debt. Upon proper qualification, these contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. It is the Company’s policy to only enter into derivative contracts with investment grade counterparty financial institutions, and correspondingly, the fair value of derivative assets consider, among other factors, the creditworthiness of these counterparties. Conversely, the fair value of derivative liabilities reflects the Company’s creditworthiness. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had not experienced, nor does it anticipate, any issues related to derivative counterparty defaults. The following table summarizes the aggregate unrealized net gain or loss in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 (in thousands and net of tax):

(7)FAIR VALUE

The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires that the Company maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

The following presents information as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 for the Company’s assets and liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as the fair value hierarchy used to determine their fair value.

Accounts Receivable and Payable - The amounts recorded in the accompanying balance sheets approximate fair value because of their short-term nature.

(UNAUDITED)

Debt - The Company’s debt consists primarily of the Company’s Credit Agreement, which permits floating-rate borrowings based upon the current Prime Rate or LIBOR plus a credit spread as determined by the Company’s leverage ratio calculation (as defined in the Credit Agreement). As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had $126.0 million and $100.0 million, respectively, of borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement. During the first quarter of 2015 outstanding borrowings accrued interest at an average rate of 1.2% per annum, excluding unused commitment fees. The amounts recorded in the accompanying Balance Sheets approximate fair value due to the variable nature of the debt.

Derivatives - Net derivative assets (liabilities) are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The portfolio is valued using models based on market observable inputs, including both forward and spot foreign exchange rates, interest rates, implied volatility, and counterparty credit risk, including the ability of each party to execute its obligations under the contract. As of March 31, 2015, credit risk did not materially change the fair value of the Company’s derivative contracts.

The following is a summary of the Company’s fair value measurements for its net derivative assets (liabilities) as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in thousands):

Deferred Compensation Plan — The Company maintains a non-qualified deferred compensation plan structured as a Rabbi trust for certain eligible employees. Participants in the deferred compensation plan select from a menu of phantom investment options for their deferral dollars offered by the Company each year, which are based upon changes in value of complementary, defined market investments. The deferred compensation liability represents the combined values of market investments against which participant accounts are tracked.

Contingent Consideration — The Company recorded contingent consideration related to the acquisitions of iKnowtion, Guidon, TSG, WebMetro, Sofica and rogenSi. These contingent payables were recognized at fair value using a discounted cash flow approach and a discount rate of 21.0%, 21.0%, 4.6%, 5.3%, 5.0% or 4.6%, respectively. The discount rates vary dependant on the specific risks of each acquisition including the country of operation, the nature of services and complexity of the acquired business, and other similar factors. These measurements were based on significant inputs not observable in the market. The Company will accrete interest expense each period using the effective interest method until the future value of these contingent payables reaches their expected future value of $24.7 million. Interest expense related to all recorded purchase price payables is included in Interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

During the second and fourth quarters of 2014, the Company recorded fair value adjustments of the contingent consideration associated with the TSG reporting unit within the CTS segment based on revised estimates noting achievement of the targeted 2014 and 2015 EBITDA was remote. Accordingly, a $4.0 million and $3.9 million, respectively, reductions in the payable were recorded as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2014 and were included in Other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

During the third and fourth quarters of 2014, the Company recorded fair value adjustments of the contingent consideration associated with the Sofica reporting unit within the CMS segment of $1.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively, as the Company’s revised estimates reflected Sofica exceeding its EBITDA targets for both 2014 and 2015. Accordingly, the $1.8 million and $0.6 million increases in the payable were recorded as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2014 and were included in Other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

During the third quarter of 2014, the Company recorded a fair value adjustment of the contingent consideration associated with the WebMetro reporting unit within the CGS segment based on revised estimates noting achievement of the targeted 2014 EBITDA was remote. Accordingly, a $1.7 million reduction in the payable was recorded as of September 30, 2014 and was included in Other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company recorded a fair value adjustment of the contingent consideration associated with the rogenSi reporting unit within the CSS segment based on revised estimates reflecting rogenSi exceeding its EBITDA targets for 2014. Accordingly a $0.5 million increase in the payable was recorded as of December 31, 2014 and was included in Other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

During the first quarter of 2015, the Company assessed the contingent payables associated with all of the acquisitions and determined that no material adjustments were necessary.

Subsequent to March 31, 2015, an additional $8.1 million of payments were completed in accordance with the acquisition agreements.

(8)INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the accounting literature for income taxes, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences of transactions that have been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Quarterly, the Company assesses the likelihood that its net deferred tax assets will be recovered. Based on the weight of all available evidence, both positive and negative, the Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets when it is more-likely-than-not that a future tax benefit will not be realized.

During the first quarter of 2014, a benefit of $1.2 million was recorded due to the closing of statutes of limitations in Canada.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had $52.8 million of gross deferred tax assets (after a $10.4 million valuation allowance) and net deferred tax assets (after deferred tax liabilities) of $49.9 million related to the U.S. and international tax jurisdictions whose recoverability is dependent upon future profitability.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was 18.0% and 11.9%, respectively.

The Company’s U.S. income tax returns filed for the tax years ending December 31, 2011 to present remain open tax years. The Company has been notified of the intent to audit, or is currently under audit, of income taxes in the U.S. specifically for the acquired entity Technology Solutions Group for the tax year 2012 (prior to acquisition) and Canada for tax years 2009 and 2010.

Impairment Losses

During each of the periods presented, the Company evaluated the recoverability of its leasehold improvement assets at certain delivery centers. An asset is considered to be impaired when the anticipated undiscounted future cash flows of its asset group are estimated to be less than the asset group’s carrying value. The amount of impairment recognized is the difference between the carrying value of the asset group and its fair value. To determine fair value, the Company used Level 3 inputs in its discounted cash flows analysis. Assumptions included the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and assumed discount rates. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized no losses related to leasehold improvement assets.

(10)COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Credit Facility

In the second quarter of 2013, the Company entered into a $700.0 million, five-year, multi-currency revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders which includes an accordion feature that permits the Company to request an increase in total commitments up to $1.0 billion, under certain conditions. Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, KeyBank National Association, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, BBVA Compass and HSBC Bank USA, National Association served as Joint Lead Arrangers. The Credit Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Company’s prior credit facility entered into during 2010 and amended in 2012.

The Credit Agreement provides for a secured revolving credit facility that matures on June 3, 2018 with an initial maximum aggregate commitment of $700.0 million. At the Company’s discretion, direct borrowing options under the Credit Agreement include (i) Eurodollar loans with one, two, three, and six month terms, and/or (ii) overnight base rate loans. The Credit Agreement also provides for a sub-limit for loans or letters of credit in both U.S. dollars and certain foreign currencies, with direct foreign subsidiary borrowing capabilities up to 50% of the total commitment amount. The Company may increase the maximum aggregate commitment under the Credit Agreement to $1.0 billion if certain conditions are satisfied, including that the Company is not in default under the Credit Agreement at the time of the increase and that the Company obtains the commitment of the lenders participating in the increase.

The Company primarily utilizes its Credit Agreement to fund working capital, general operations, stock repurchases and other strategic activities, such as the acquisitions described in Note 2. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had borrowings of $126.0 million and $100.0 million, respectively, under its Credit Agreement, and its average daily utilization was $297.0 million and $270.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. After consideration for issued letters of credit under the Credit Agreement, totaling $3.2 million, the Company’s remaining borrowing capacity was $570.8 million as of March 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and conditions under its Credit Agreement.

From time-to-time, the Company has unsecured, uncommitted lines of credit to support working capital for a few foreign subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2015 and 2014, no foreign loans were outstanding.

Letters of Credit

As of March 31, 2015, outstanding letters of credit under the Credit Agreement totaled $3.2 million and primarily guaranteed workers’ compensation and other insurance related obligations. As of March 31, 2015, letters of credit and contract performance guarantees issued outside of the Credit Agreement totaled $4.6 million.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company has been involved in legal actions, both as plaintiff and defendant, which arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for exposures associated with such legal actions to the extent that losses are deemed both probable and estimable. To the extent specific reserves have not been made for certain legal proceedings, their ultimate outcome, and consequently, an estimate of possible loss, if any, cannot reasonably be determined at this time.

Based on currently available information and advice received from counsel, the Company believes that the disposition or ultimate resolution of any current legal proceedings, except as otherwise specifically reserved for in its financial statements, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

(12)MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST

The Company holds an 80% interest in iKnowtion. In the event iKnowtion meets certain EBITDA targets for calendar year 2015, the purchase and sale agreement requires TeleTech to purchase the remaining 20% interest in iKnowtion in 2016 for an amount equal to a multiple of iKnowtion’s 2015 EBITDA as defined in the purchase and sale agreement. These terms represent a contingent redemption feature which the Company determined is probable of being achieved.

The Company has recorded the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest at the redemption value based on the corresponding EBITDA multiples as prescribed in the purchase and sale agreement at the end of each reporting period. At the end of each reporting period the changes in the redemption value are recorded in retained earnings. Since the EBITDA multiples as defined in the purchase and sale agreement are below the current market multiple, the Company has determined that there is no preferential treatment to the noncontrolling interest shareholders resulting in no impact to earnings per share.

A rollforward of the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest is as follows (in thousands):

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, options to purchase 0.1 million and 0.1 million shares of common stock, respectively, were outstanding, but not included in the computation of diluted net income per share because the exercise price exceeded the value of the shares and the effect would have been anti—dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) of 0.5 million and 0.3 million, respectively, were outstanding, but not included in the computation of diluted net income per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

(15)       EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

All equity—based awards to employees are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) at the fair value of the award on the grant date. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized total compensation expense of $2.7 million and $3.2 million, respectively. Of the total compensation expense, $0.6 million and $0.6 million was recognized in Cost of services and $2.1 million and $2.6 million was recognized in Selling, general and administrative.

Restricted Stock Unit Grants

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Executive Summary

TeleTech Holdings, Inc. (“TeleTech”, “the Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”) is a customer engagement management service provider that delivers integrated consulting, technology, growth and customer care solutions on a global scale. Our suite of product and service capabilities allows us to design and deliver enhanced, value-driven customer experiences across numerous communication channels. Our solutions are supported by 44,000 employees delivering services in 24 countries from 61 delivery centers on six continents. Our revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 was $326 million.

Since our establishment in 1982, we have helped clients strengthen their customer relationships, brand recognition and loyalty through customer engagement solutions. We deliver thought leadership, technology and innovation that create customer strategies designed to differentiate our clients from their competition; data analytics that personalize interactions and increase customer value; and integration services that connect clients’ customer relationship management (“CRM”) system to a cloud-based collaboration platform, leading to customer interactions that are seamless and relevant.

Our services are value-oriented, outcome-based, and delivered on a global scale across all of our business segments: Customer Management Services (“CMS”), Customer Growth Services (“CGS”), Customer Technology Services (“CTS”) and Customer Strategy Services (“CSS”). Our integrated customer experience platform differentiates the Company by combining strategic consulting, data analytics, process optimization, system design and integration, operational excellence, and technology solutions and services.

We have developed tailored expertise in the automotive, communications, financial services, government, healthcare, logistics, media and entertainment, retail, technology, travel and transportation industries. We target customer-focused industry leaders in the Global 1000 and serve more than 250 global clients.

22

To improve our competitive position in a rapidly changing market and stay strategically relevant to our clients, we continue to invest in innovation and growth businesses, diversifying our traditional business process outsourcing services of our CMS segment into higher-value consulting, data analytics, digital marketing and technology-enabled services. Of the $326 million in revenue we reported in the current period, approximately 25% or $82.5 million came from the CGS, CTS and CSS segments (our “Emerging Segments”), focused on customer-centric strategy, growth or technology-based services, with the remainder of our revenue coming from the traditional business process outsourcing focused CMS segment.

Consistent with our growth and diversification strategy, we continue to invest in technology differentiation, analytics, cloud computing and digital marketing. We also invest in businesses that accelerate our strategy: in 2014, we acquired Sofica Group, a Bulgarian customer management services company which provides our clients with the capabilities of 18 additional languages while contributing to the geographic and time zone diversity of our footprint; and rogenSi, a global leadership, change management and sales consulting company that further diversifies our consulting offerings.

Our strong balance sheet, cash flows from operations and access to debt and capital markets have historically provided us the financial flexibility to effectively fund our organic growth, capital expenditures, strategic acquisitions and incremental investments. Additionally, we continue to return capital to our shareholders via an ongoing stock repurchase program. As of March 31, 2015, our cumulative authorized repurchase allowance was $662.3 million, of which we repurchased 42.3 million shares for $631.4 million. For the period from March 31, 2015 through May 4, 2015, we repurchased no additional shares. The stock repurchase program does not have an expiration date. Effective February 28, 2015, the Board of Directors authorized an additional $25 million for stock repurchases.

On February 24, 2015, our Board of Directors adopted a dividend policy, with the intent to distribute a periodic cash dividend to stockholders of our common stock, after consideration of, among other things, TeleTech’s performance, cash flows, capital needs and liquidity factors. Given our cash flow generation and balance sheet strength, we believe cash dividends and early returns to shareholders through share repurchases, in balance with our investments in innovation and strategic acquisitions, align shareholder interests with the needs of the Company. The initial dividend of $0.18 per common share was paid on March 16, 2015 to shareholders of record as of March 6, 2015.

Our Integrated Service Offerings and Business Segments

We operate our business utilizing four operating and reportable segments, which provide an integrated set of services offering through design, technology enablement, management and growth:

Customer Strategy Services

We typically begin by engaging our clients at a strategic level. Through our strategy, change management and analytics-driven consulting expertise, we help our clients design, build and execute their customer engagement strategies. We help our clients to better understand and predict their customers’ behaviors and preferences along with their current and future economic value. Using proprietary analytic models, we provide the insight clients need to build the business case for customer centricity, to better optimize their marketing spend and then work alongside them to help implement our recommendations. A key component of this segment involves instilling a high performance culture through management and leadership alignment and process optimization.

23

Customer Technology Services

Once the design of the customer engagement is completed, our ability to architect, deploy and host or manage the client’s customer management environments becomes a key enabler to achieving and sustaining the client’s customer engagement vision. Given the proliferation of mobile communication technologies and devices, we enable our clients’ operations to interact with their customers across the growing array of channels including email, social networks, mobile, web, SMS text, voice and chat. We design, implement and manage cloud, on-premise or hybrid customer management environments to deliver a consistent and superior experience across all touch points on a global scale that we believe result in higher quality, lower costs and reduced risk for our clients. Through our proprietary Humanify™ technology, we also provide data-driven context aware SaaS-based solutions that link customers seamlessly and directly to appropriate resources, any time and across any channel.

Customer Management Services

We design and manage clients’ front-to-back office processes to deliver just-in-time, personalized, multi-channel interactions. Our front-office solutions seamlessly integrate voice, chat, email, e-commerce and social media to optimize the customer experience for our clients. In addition, we manage certain client back-office processes to enhance their customer-centric view of relationships and maximize operating efficiencies. Our delivery of integrated business processes via our onshore, offshore or work-from-home associates reduces operating costs and allows customer needs to be met more quickly and efficiently, resulting in higher satisfaction, brand loyalty and a stronger competitive position for our clients.

Customer Growth Services

We offer integrated sales and marketing solutions to help our clients boost revenue in new, fragmented or underpenetrated business-to-consumer or business-to-business markets. We deliver approximately $1 billion in client revenue annually via the acquisition, growth and retention of customers through a combination of our highly trained, client-dedicated sales professionals and our proprietary Revana Analytic Multichannel PlatformTM. This platform continuously aggregates individual customer information across all channels into one holistic view so as to ensure more relevant and personalized communications. As a result of our acquisition of the digital agency Web Metro, we have developed an integrated marketing-to-sales platform that links online searches to live sales through a closed loop, multichannel interface. This platform uses proprietary tools and methodology to capture and use more than 400 marketing and sales data points to engage with customers in relevant conversations.

Based on our clients’ requirements, we provide our services on an integrated cross-business segment and on a discrete basis.

We are currently providing services to clients in the following verticals for each segment:

Business Overview

In the first quarter of 2015, our revenue increased 7.7% to $325.5 million over the same period in 2014 despite a decrease of 3.2% or $9.5 million due to foreign currency fluctuations, primarily the Australian dollar and the Brazilian Real. Revenue, adjusted for the $9.5 million decrease related to foreign exchange, increased by $32.8 million, or 10.9%, over the prior year. This increase in revenue is comprised of growth in the CMS, CTS and CSS segments with a slight decline in the CGS segment.

Our first quarter 2015 income from operations increased 7.3% to $26.1 million or 8.0% of revenue, from $24.4 million or 8.1% of revenue in the first quarter of 2014. This increase is due to organic revenue growth and income from the recent acquisitions. These were partially offset by $0.4 million additional amortization of intangibles related to the acquisitions, and investments in sales and research and development. Income from operations in the first quarter of 2015 and 2014 included $0.8 million and $0.5 million of restructuring charges and asset impairments, respectively.

Our offshore delivery centers serve clients based in the U.S. and in other countries and spans five countries with 20,200 workstations and representing 63% of our global delivery capability. Revenue for our CMS and CGS segments that is provided in these offshore locations was $113 million and represented 42% of our revenue for the first quarter of 2015, as compared to $114 million and 44% of our revenue for 2014.

Our cash flow from operations and available credit allowed us to finance a significant portion of our capital needs and stock repurchases through internally generated cash flows. At March 31, 2015, we had $65.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, total debt of $131.2 million, and a total debt to total capitalization ratio of 22.4%.

We internally target capacity utilization in our delivery centers at 80% to 90% of our available workstations. As of March 31, 2015, the overall capacity utilization in our multi-client centers was 82%. The table below presents workstation data for our multi-client centers as of March 31, 2015 and 2014. Dedicated and Managed Centers (5,348 and 5,056 workstations, at March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively) are excluded from the workstation data as unused workstations in these facilities are not available for sale. Our utilization percentage is defined as the total number of utilized production workstations compared to the total number of available production workstations. We may change the designation of shared or dedicated centers based on the normal changes in our business environment and client needs.

	March 31, 2015			March 31, 2014
	Total Production Workstations	In Use	% In Use	Total Production Workstations	In Use	% In Use
Multi-client centers
Sites open <1 year	1,307	1,121	86%	2,166	1,793	83%
Sites open >1 year	25,614	21,075	82%	22,040	18,142	82%
Total multi-client centers	26,921	22,196	82%	24,206	19,935	82%

We continue to see demand from all geographic regions to utilize our offshore delivery capabilities and expect this trend to continue with our clients. In light of this trend, we plan to continue to selectively retain and grow capacity and expand into new offshore markets. As we grow our offshore delivery capabilities and our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations increases, we continue to actively manage this risk via a multi-currency hedging program designed to minimize operating margin volatility.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We regularly review our estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions, which are based upon historical experience and on various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Reported amounts and disclosures may have been different had management used different estimates and assumptions or if different conditions had occurred in the periods presented. For further information, please refer to the discussion of all critical accounting policies in Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Results of Operations

Three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to three months ended March 31, 2014

The tables included in the following sections are presented to facilitate an understanding of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and present certain information by segment for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 (amounts in thousands). All inter-company transactions between the reported segments for the periods presented have been eliminated.

Customer Management Services

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2015			2014			$ Change		% Change
Revenue	$	243,009		$	227,924		$	15,085	6.6	%
Operating Income	21,702			20,823			879		4.2	%
Operating Margin	8.9		%	9.1		%

The increase in revenue for the Customer Management Services segment was attributable to a $29.5 million net increase in client programs and acquisitions offset by program completions of $6.6 million. Revenue was further impacted by a $7.8 million reduction due to foreign currency fluctuations, primarily the Australian dollar and the Brazilian Real.

The operating income as a percentage of revenue decreased to 8.9% in the first quarter of 2015 as compared to 9.1% in the prior period. The operating income margin decreased due to additional costs as new delivery centers are being opened, investments in sales and research and development, and the geographic mix of the revenue growth. Included in the operating income was amortization related to acquired intangibles of $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Customer Growth Services

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2015			2014			$ Change		% Change
Revenue	$	25,956		$	28,905		$	(2,949)	(10.2	)%
Operating Income	26			1,770			(1,744)		(98.5	)%
Operating Margin	0.1		%	6.1		%

The change in revenue for the Customer Growth Services segment was due to a $0.3 million increase in client programs offset by program completions of $2.4 million, and a $0.8 million reduction due to foreign currency fluctuations.

26

The operating income as a percentage of revenue decreased to 0.1% in the first quarter of 2015 as compared to 6.1% in the prior period. This decrease was primarily driven by the completion of established programs and the ramp of new programs sold in late 2014. Included in the operating income was amortization related to acquired intangibles of $0.7 million and $0.7 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Customer Technology Services

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2015			2014			$ Change		% Change
Revenue	$	35,714		$	32,776		$	2,938	9.0	%
Operating Income	2,009			311			1,698		546.0	%
Operating Margin	5.6		%	0.9		%

The increase in revenue for the Customer Technology Services segment was related to increases in both the Cisco and Avaya product offerings.

The operating income as a percentage of revenue increased to 5.6% in the first quarter of 2015 as compared to 0.9% in the prior period. The improvement in operating income margin is attributable to increased revenue in combination with lower selling, general and administrative expenses and an improving depreciation expense to revenue in our cloud business. Included in the operating income was amortization related to acquired intangibles of $1.0 million and $1.2 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Customer Strategy Services

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2015			2014			$ Change		% Change
Revenue	$	20,842		$	12,616		$	8,226	65.2	%
Operating Income	2,391			1,453			938		64.6	%
Operating Margin	11.5		%	11.5		%

The increase in revenue for the Customer Strategy Services segment was related to organic growth across several of our geographies and practices including our analytics and operations and technology practices and the acquisition of rogenSi in August 2014 offset by a $0.7 million reduction due to foreign exchange fluctuations.

The operating income as a percentage of revenue remained flat at 11.5% in the first quarter of 2015 as compared to 11.5% in the prior period. The absolute dollar operating income increase related to the organic revenue growth of our operations and technology practice and the acquisition of rogenSi. Included in the operating income was amortization expense of $0.8 million and $0.4 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Interest Income (Expense)

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, interest income decreased to $0.3 million from $0.5 million in the comparable period in 2014. Interest expense remained consistent at $1.7 million during 2015 and 2014.

27

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was 18.0%. This compares to an effective tax rate of 11.9% for the comparable period of 2014. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was influenced by earnings in international jurisdictions currently under an income tax holiday and the distribution of income between the U.S. and international tax jurisdictions. Without a $0.3 million benefit related to changes in the valuation allowance, a $0.3 million benefit related to restructuring charges, and $0.3 million of benefit related to other discrete items recognized during the quarter, the Company’s effective tax rate for the first quarter would have been 21.0%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash generated from operations, our cash and cash equivalents, and borrowings under our Credit Agreement, dated June 3, 2013 (the “Credit Agreement”). During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, we generated positive operating cash flows of $3.8 million. We believe that our cash generated from operations, existing cash and cash equivalents, and available credit will be sufficient to meet expected operating and capital expenditure requirements for the next 12 months.

We manage a centralized global treasury function in the United States with a focus on concentrating and safeguarding our global cash and cash equivalents. While the majority of our cash is held outside the U.S., we prefer to hold U.S. Dollars in addition to the local currencies of our foreign subsidiaries. We expect to use our offshore cash to support working capital and growth of our foreign operations. While there are no assurances, we believe our global cash is protected given our cash management practices, banking partners and utilization of diversified, high quality investments.

We have global operations that expose us to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations that may positively or negatively impact our liquidity. We are also exposed to higher interest rates associated with our variable rate debt. To mitigate these risks, we enter into foreign exchange forward and option contracts and interest rate swaps through our cash flow hedging program. Please refer to Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, Foreign Currency Risk, for further discussion.

The following discussion highlights our cash flow activities during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all liquid investments purchased within 90 days of their original maturity to be cash equivalents. Our cash and cash equivalents totaled $65.7 million and $77.3 million as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. We diversify the holdings of such cash and cash equivalents considering the financial condition and stability of the counterparty institutions.

We reinvest our cash flows to grow our client base, expand our infrastructure, for investment in research and development, for strategic acquisitions and the purchase of our outstanding stock.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, net cash flows provided by operating activities was $3.8 million and $13.5 million, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to a $16.7 million decrease in cash collected from accounts receivable offset by a $3.2 million decrease in payments made for operating expenses and a $4.6 million decrease in cash spent on prepaids and other assets.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we reported net cash flows used in investing activities of $22.1 million and $23.1 million, respectively. The slight decrease was due to a decreased spending on acquisitions of $8.1 million along with a $2.0 million decrease in capital expenditures offset by a $9.0 million investment during the first three months of 2015.

28

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we reported net cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities of $9.3 million and ($24.4) million, respectively. The change in net cash flows from 2014 to 2015 was primarily due to a $26.0 million increase in net borrowings from our line of credit, a $14.5 million decrease in purchases of our outstanding common stock offset by $8.7 million of dividends paid during the first three months of 2015.

Free cash flow (see “Presentation of Non-GAAP Measurements” below for the definition of free cash flow) decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014 due to the decrease in cash flows provided by operating activities offset partially by a decrease in capital expenditures. Free cash flow was $(9.2) million and $(1.6) million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Presentation of Non-GAAP Measurements

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP liquidity measurement. We believe that free cash flow is useful to our investors because it measures, during a given period, the amount of cash generated that is available for debt obligations and investments other than purchases of property, plant and equipment. Free cash flow is not a measure determined by GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for “income from operations,” “net income,” “net cash provided by operating activities,” or any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP. We believe this non-GAAP liquidity measure is useful, in addition to the most directly comparable GAAP measure of “net cash provided by operating activities,” because free cash flow includes investments in operational assets. Free cash flow does not represent residual cash available for discretionary expenditures, since it includes cash required for debt service. Free cash flow also includes cash that may be necessary for acquisitions, investments and other needs that may arise.

The following table reconciles net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow for our consolidated results (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2015			2014
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	3,820		$	13,537
Less: Purchases of property, plant and equipment	13,038			15,095
Free cash flow	$	(9,218	)	$	(1,558	)

Obligations and Future Capital Requirements

Future maturities of our outstanding debt and contractual obligations as of March 31, 2015 are summarized as follows (in thousands):

	Less than 1 Year		1 to 3 Years		3 to 5 Years		Over 5 Years		Total
Credit Facility(1)	$	2,860	$	4,760	$	126,395	$	-	$	134,015
Equipment financing arrangements	-		-		-		-		-
Contingent consideration	10,991		13,737		-		-		24,728
Purchase obligations	28,927		22,041		-		-		50,968
Operating lease commitments	31,296		74,587		38,856		5,141		149,880
Other debt	2,879		1,905		156		-		4,940
Total	$	76,953	$	117,030	$	165,407	$	5,141	$	364,531

(1)Includes estimated interest payments based on the weighted-average interest rate, unused commitment fees, current interest rate swap arrangements, and outstanding debt as of March 31, 2015.

·Contractual obligations to be paid in a foreign currency are translated at the period end exchange rate.

·Purchase obligations primarily consist of outstanding purchase orders for goods or services not yet received, which are not recognized as liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets until such goods and/or services are received.

·The contractual obligation table excludes our liabilities of $1.9 million related to uncertain tax positions because we cannot reliably estimate the timing of cash payments.

Our outstanding debt is primarily associated with the use of funds under our Credit Agreement to fund working capital, repurchase our common stock, and other cash flow needs across our global operations.

Future Capital Requirements

We expect total capital expenditures in 2015 to be within the range of $70 to 80 million. Approximately 70% of these expected capital expenditures are to support growth in our business and 30% relate to the maintenance for existing assets. The anticipated level of 2015 capital expenditures is primarily driven by new client contracts and the corresponding requirements for additional delivery center capacity as well as enhancements to our technological infrastructure.

The amount of capital required over the next 12 months will depend on our levels of investment in infrastructure necessary to maintain, upgrade or replace existing assets. Our working capital and capital expenditure requirements could also increase materially in the event of acquisitions or joint ventures, among other factors. These factors could require that we raise additional capital through future debt or equity financing. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital upon commercially reasonable terms acceptable to us.

30

Client Concentration

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, one of our clients represented 10.9% of our total revenue. Our five largest clients accounted for 38.2% and 37.6% of our consolidated revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We have experienced long-term relationships with our top five clients, ranging from two to 19 years, with the majority of these clients having completed multiple contract renewals with us. The relative contribution of any single client to consolidated earnings is not always proportional to the relative revenue contribution on a consolidated basis and varies greatly based upon specific contract terms. In addition, clients may adjust business volumes served by us based on their business requirements. We believe the risk of this concentration is mitigated, in part, by the long-term contracts we have with our largest clients. Although certain client contracts may be terminated for convenience by either party, we believe this risk is mitigated, in part, by the service level disruptions and transition/migration costs that would arise for our clients.

The contracts with our five largest clients expire between 2016 and 2017. Several contracts expiring in 2016 are currently under renewal negotiations or are subject to evergreen provisions, pursuant to which the contract renews automatically unless notice is provided to the contrary. Additionally, a particular client may have multiple contracts with different expiration dates. We have historically renewed most of our contracts with our largest clients. However, there is no assurance that future contracts will be renewed, or if renewed, will be on terms as favorable as the existing contracts.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations, or consolidated cash flows due to adverse changes in financial and commodity market prices and rates. Market risk also includes credit and non-performance risk by counterparties to our various financial instruments. We are exposed to market risk due to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates (as measured against the U.S. dollar); as well as credit risk associated with potential non-performance of our counterparty banks. These exposures are directly related to our normal operating and funding activities. We enter into derivative instruments to manage and reduce the impact of currency exchange rate changes, primarily between the U.S. dollar/Canadian dollar, the U.S. dollar/Philippine peso, the U.S. dollar/Mexican peso, and the Australian dollar/Philippine peso. We enter into interest rate derivative instruments to reduce our exposure to interest rate fluctuations associated with our variable rate debt. To mitigate against credit and non-performance risk, it is our policy to only enter into derivative contracts and other financial instruments with investment grade counterparty financial institutions and, correspondingly, our derivative valuations reflect the creditworthiness of our counterparties. As of the date of this report, we have not experienced, nor do we anticipate, any issues related to derivative counterparty defaults.

Interest Rate Risk

We entered into interest rate derivative instruments to reduce our exposure to interest rate fluctuations associated with our variable rate debt. The interest rate on our Credit Agreement is variable based upon the Prime Rate and LIBOR and, therefore, is affected by changes in market interest rates. As of March 31, 2015, we had $126.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Based upon average outstanding borrowings during the three months ended March 31, 2015, interest accrued at a rate of approximately 1.2% per annum. If the Prime Rate or LIBOR increased by 100 basis points during the quarter, there would not have been a material impact to our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

31

The Company’s interest rate swap arrangements as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were as follows:

	Notional Amount		Variable Rate Received	Fixed Rate Paid		Contract Commencement Date	Contract Maturity Date
As of March 31, 2015	$	25 million	1 - month LIBOR	2.55	%	April 2012	April 2016
and December 31, 2014		15 million	1 - month LIBOR	3.14	%	May 2012	May 2017
	$	40 million

Foreign Currency Risk

Our subsidiaries in Bulgaria, Canada, Costa Rica, Mexico, and the Philippines use the local currency as their functional currency for paying labor and other operating costs. Conversely, revenue for these foreign subsidiaries is derived principally from client contracts that are invoiced and collected in U.S. dollars or other foreign currencies. As a result, we may experience foreign currency gains or losses, which may positively or negatively affect our results of operations attributed to these subsidiaries. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, revenue associated with this foreign exchange risk was 30% and 32% of our consolidated revenue, respectively.

In order to mitigate the risk of these non-functional foreign currencies weakening against the functional currencies of the servicing subsidiaries, which thereby decreases the economic benefit of performing work in these countries, we may hedge a portion, though not 100%, of the projected foreign currency exposure related to client programs served from these foreign countries through our cash flow hedging program. While our hedging strategy can protect us from adverse changes in foreign currency rates in the short term, an overall weakening of the non-functional foreign currencies would adversely impact margins in the segments of the servicing subsidiary over the long term.

Cash Flow Hedging Program

To reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations associated with forecasted revenue in non-functional currencies, we purchase forward and/or option contracts to acquire the functional currency of the foreign subsidiary at a fixed exchange rate at specific dates in the future. We have designated and account for these derivative instruments as cash flow hedges for forecasted revenue in non-functional currencies.

While we have implemented certain strategies to mitigate risks related to the impact of fluctuations in currency exchange rates, we cannot ensure that we will not recognize gains or losses from international transactions, as this is part of transacting business in an international environment. Not every exposure is or can be hedged and, where hedges are put in place based on expected foreign exchange exposure, they are based on forecasts for which actual results may differ from the original estimate. Failure to successfully hedge or anticipate currency risks properly could adversely affect our consolidated operating results.

Our cash flow hedging instruments as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are summarized as follows (in thousands). All hedging instruments are forward contracts.

As of March 31, 2015	Local Currency Notional Amount	U.S. Dollar Notional Amount			% Maturing in the Next 12 Months		Contracts Maturing Through
Canadian Dollar	750	$	719		100.0	%	June 2015
Philippine Peso	17,063,000	386,570		(1)	36.8	%	February 2020
Mexican Peso	2,528,000	176,073			28.5	%	February 2020
		$	563,362

32

As of December 31, 2014	Local Currency Notional Amount	U.S. Dollar Notional Amount
Canadian Dollar	1,500	$	1,441
Philippine Peso	17,428,000	398,046		(1)
Mexican Peso	2,532,000	179,089
New Zealand Dollar	490	381
		$	578,957

(1)Includes contracts to purchase Philippine pesos in exchange for New Zealand dollars and Australian dollars, which are translated into equivalent U.S. dollars on March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

The fair value of our cash flow hedges at March 31, 2015 was assets/(liabilities) (in thousands):

	March 31, 2015		Maturing in the Next 12 Months
Canadian Dollar	$	(129)	$	(129)
Philippine Peso	(13,038)		(5,210)
Mexican Peso	(17,775)		(6,298)
New Zealand Dollar	-		-
	$	(30,942)	$	(11,637)

Our cash flow hedges are valued using models based on market observable inputs, including both forward and spot foreign exchange rates, implied volatility, and counterparty credit risk. The decrease in fair value from December 31, 2014 largely reflects a broad strengthening in the U.S. dollar.

We recorded net losses of $1.7 million and $1.6 million for settled cash flow hedge contracts for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. These losses were reflected in Revenue in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. If the exchange rates between our various currency pairs were to increase or decrease by 10% from current period-end levels, we would incur a material gain or loss on the contracts. However, any gain or loss would be mitigated by corresponding increases or decreases in our underlying exposures.

Other than the transactions hedged as discussed above and in Part I, Item I. Financial Statements, Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the majority of the transactions of our U.S. and foreign operations are denominated in their respective local currency. However, transactions are denominated in other currencies from time-to-time. We do not currently engage in hedging activities related to these types of foreign currency risks because we believe them to be insignificant as we endeavor to settle these accounts on a timely basis. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, approximately 22% and 23%, respectively, of revenue was derived from contracts denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Our results from operations and revenue could be adversely affected if the U.S. Dollar strengthens significantly against foreign currencies.

Fair Value of Debt and Equity Securities

We did not have any investments in debt or equity securities as of March 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

This Report includes the certifications of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) required by Rule 13a-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). See Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2. This Item 4 includes information concerning the controls and control evaluations referred to in those certifications.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Our management, including the CEO and CFO, believes that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must consider the benefits of controls relative to their costs. Inherent limitations within a control system include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by unauthorized override of the control. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with associated policies or procedures. While the design of any system of controls is to provide reasonable assurance of the effectiveness of disclosure controls, such design is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and such assumptions, while reasonable, may not take into account all potential future conditions. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in a cost effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be prevented or detected.

In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2015. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2015 to provide such reasonable assurance.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2015 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

(1)In November 2001, our Board of Directors (“Board”) authorized a stock repurchase program with the objective of increasing stockholder returns. The Board periodically authorizes additional increases to the program. The most recent Board authorization to purchase additional common stock occurred in February 2015, whereby the Board increased the program allowance by $25.0 million. Since inception of the program through March 31, 2015, the Board has authorized the repurchase of shares up to a total value of $662.3 million, of which we have purchased 42.3 million shares on the open market for $631.4 million. As of March 31, 2015 the remaining amount authorized for repurchases under the program was approximately $30.9 million. The stock repurchase program does not have an expiration date.

a.         Salary and Period Salary Review.  As of the Start Date, Employee’s base salary shall be $400,000 per year (“Base Salary”), payable in equal installments in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll practice, less legally required deductions and withholdings.  The Employee’s Base Salary may be periodically reviewed and adjusted (but not reduced) in accordance with TeleTech standard procedures. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Base Salary may be reduced at TeleTech’s discretion, as part of a company-wide austerity measure or a compliance initiative that applies uniformly to all executives at the Employee’s level.

b.         Variable Incentive Plan (annual cash bonus).  Beginning in 2015, and annually thereafter, Employee will be eligible to participate in an annual performance based cash incentive program, currently referred to as TeleTech’s Variable Incentive Plan (“VIP”).  The Employee VIP opportunity shall be up to 200% of his Base Salary (i.e. $800,000), tied to the annual targets and goals of the business as set by the Compensation Committee of the Board and the CEO.  The Employee’s annual VIP awards will be based on a combination of: (1) TeleTech-wide business results; (2) CSS business segment specific results and business segment’s execution against strategy to deliver on a long-term plan to meet revenue and

1

operating income goals; and (3) the Employee’s individual performance. 2015 VIP will be paid in the first quarter of 2016, after TeleTech’s annual results of operations have been determined; and shall be prorated based on the actual time the Employee worked for the Company in 2015.  Timing and schedule for post 2015 VIP awards is expected to be similar to 2015 VIP and is determined by the Compensation Committee annually.

3.RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS (RSUS).

a.         Time-Based New Hire RSU Grant.  TeleTech shall grant to the Employee restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with a market value of $1,000,000, based on TeleTech stock fair market value at the time of the grant, subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee of the Board (“New Hire RSUs”).  The New Hire RSUs shall vest in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference.  The New Hire RSUs shall vest in five (5) installments, with 40% of the grant vesting on the 2nd anniversary of the Start Date, and 20% each vesting on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th anniversaries of the Start Date, provided that the Employee continuous to be employed by the business on each of the vesting dates.

b.         Performance-Based RSU Grant.  Starting in 2016, the Employee will be eligible to receive additional RSU grants based on his performance against targets outlined in Exhibit B to this Agreement, attached hereto and incorporated by reference (“Performance-Based RSUs”).  The total Performance-Based RSU opportunity shall be up to $8,000,000, as further described in Exhibit B. The size of each Performance-Based RSU grant shall be contingent on the Employee’s performance against established CSS incremental operating income and non-CSS operating income “pull-through” targets for the prior fiscal year, as determined in 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 as further detailed in Exhibit B.  All Performance-Based RSU grants will vest on the first anniversary of each grant provided the Employee continues to be employed by the Company or otherwise employed in the business through another affiliate of TeleTech.

c.         Annual Equity Grants.  TeleTech employees at the Employee’s level participate in TeleTech annual Equity Grant program, designed to provide long term incentives for senior executives.  The Employee will become eligible for the annual Equity Grant program beginning in 2018, after the wind-down of the Performance-Based RSU opportunity outlined in paragraph 3(b) of this Agreement. Annual Equity Grants are based on TeleTech’s and the Employee’s performance against targets, as set by the Compensation Committee of the Board. TeleTech and Employee agree that notwithstanding the Employees eligibility for the annual Equity Grant, the parties may negotiate in good faith and agree to another multi-year performance-based RSU opportunity starting in 2018.

4.BENEFITS.

a.Health and Welfare Insurance and other benefits.  Employee and his dependents shall be eligible for coverage and may choose to enroll under TeleTech’s group medical, vision, and dental insurance and other insurance plans made available to the Company’s employees, beginning on the first of the calendar month after 30 days tenure with the Company (for clarification, the Employees eligibility for participation in these benefits will start on June 1, 2015, assuming the start date of April 20, 2015).

b.Miscellaneous benefits.  Employee shall receive benefits generally applicable to the Company’s management employees that are from time to time in effect, such as the Company’s 401(k) and Deferred Compensation Plans.

a.         Termination by Either Party.  Except as set forth in paragraphs 6(c), (e) and (f) below, upon 30 days written notice, either party may terminate the employment relationship.  Both parties may mutually agree to a shorter period.

b.         Termination by the Company Without Cause or for Good Reason.

Upon 30 days written notice, the Company, in its sole discretion, may terminate Employee’s employment without Cause or for Good Reason (as “Cause” and “Good Reason” are defined in paragraphs 6(g) and 6(h) respectively).  If Employee executes a separation agreement in a form substantially similar to the agreement set forth in Exhibit C (attached hereto), releasing all legal claims except for those that cannot legally be released and Employee continues to comply with all terms of such separation agreement, and any other agreement signed by the Employee with the Company, the Company shall pay Employee severance compensation equal to twelve (12) months of Employee’s then-current Base Salary, payable monthly over a twelve (12) month period in accordance with TeleTech’s then current regular pay periods and policies, less legally required deductions and withholdings. Except as otherwise provided in Exhibit B, no other compensation or bonuses will be deemed “earned” and/or payable at or following termination.

If the Company terminates this Agreement without Cause or for Good Reason under this paragraph 6(b), pays Employee the compensation earned as of the termination date, and provides Employee severance compensation  in the amount and on the terms specified in this paragraph 6(b), the Company’s acts in doing so shall be in complete accord and satisfaction of any claim that Employee has or may at any time have for compensation or payments of any kind from the Company or TeleTech arising from or relating in whole or part to Employee’s employment with the Company and/or this Agreement. If the separation agreement and legal release referenced above are not signed within thirty (30) days from when the agreements are presented to the Employee, then the Employee waives his right to receive any severance compensation pursuant to this Agreement, even if Employee were to successfully litigate any claim against the Company.

c.         Termination by the Company For Cause.  The Company may terminate this Agreement with no notice for Cause, as that term is defined in paragraph 6(g), with the Company’s only obligation being the payment of any salary and compensation earned as of the date of termination, and any continuing obligations under the Company benefit plans then in effect, and without liability for severance compensation of any kind, including the base pay severance set forth in paragraph 6(b) above.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company must provide the Employee with a written notice of Cause, describing fully the circumstances and allegations being made; and will provide the Employee with 30 calendar days to cure the

3

circumstances of such Cause (assuming the reasons behind the Cause are capable of being cured) and, should the Cause be cured, will reinstate his employment with the Company.  It is understood and agreed that whether the satisfactory cure has been achieved is subject to the standard dispute resolution provisions of this Agreement.

d.         Termination by Employee. Except as provided in paragraph 6(b) in connection with termination for Good Reason, the Employee is not entitled to severance compensation if Employee terminates his own employment with Company with the exception of the terms set forth in paragraph 6(f).  Employee shall remain subject to the Company’s Confidentiality and Arbitration agreements, any other similar agreements executed shortly prior to, or during his employment, including without the limitation this Agreement, all of which survive termination of employment.

e.         Termination Upon Employee’s Death.  This Agreement shall terminate immediately upon Employee’s death.  Thereafter, the Company shall pay to Employee’s estate all compensation fully earned, and benefits fully vested as of the last date of Employee’s continuous, full-time active employment with the Company.  For purposes of this Agreement, continuous, full-time active employment shall be defined as the last date upon which Employee continuously performed his job responsibilities on a regular, full-time basis consisting of at least 35 hours per week, and in the usual course of the Company’s business (“Continuous Full-Time Active Employment”).  In case of Employee’s death, the Company shall not be required to pay any form of severance or other compensation concerning or on account of Employee’s employment with the Company or the termination thereof.

f.          Termination Following Disability.  During the first ninety (90) calendar days after a mental or physical condition that renders Employee unable to perform the essential functions of his position with reasonable accommodation (the “Initial Disability Period”), Employee shall continue to receive his base salary pursuant to paragraph 2(a).  Thereafter, if Employee qualifies for benefits under the Company’s long term disability insurance plan (the “LTD Plan”), then Employee shall remain on leave for as long as Employee continues to qualify for such benefits, up to a maximum of 180 consecutive days (the “Long Term Leave Period”).  The Long Term Leave Period shall begin on the first day following the end of the Initial Disability Period.  During the Long Term Leave Period, Employee shall be entitled to any benefits to which the LTD Plan entitles Employee, but no additional compensation from the Company in the form of salary, performance bonus, equity grants, allowances or otherwise. If during or at the end of the Long Term Leave Period Employee remains unable to perform the essential functions of his position, then the Company may terminate this Agreement and/or Employee’s employment. If the Company terminates this Agreement or Employee’s employment under this paragraph 6(f), the Company’s payment obligation to Employee shall be limited to all compensation fully earned, and benefits fully vested as of the last date of Employee’s Continuous, Full-Time Active Employment with the Company.

g.         Definition of “Cause”.  For purposes of this Agreement,  “Cause” shall have the following meaning:

(i)Fraud, theft, embezzlement (or attempted fraud, theft, embezzlement), dishonest acts or illegal conduct (as determined by a legal authority of a competent jurisdiction) ;

(ii)Other similar acts of willful misconduct of the Employee resulting in material adverse impact to the Company;

(iii)A material breach by the Employee of this Agreement;

(iv)Use of any controlled substance or use of alcohol, while in performance of one’s duties (except as part of a Company sponsored event);

4

(v)A breach of a fiduciary duty that results in a material adverse impact to the Company or in personal profit to the Employee (as determined by the Company based on its conflict of interest policies outlined in its Ethics Code);

(vi)Use of trade secrets or confidential information of the Company, other than in pursuit of  Company’s business;  or

(vii)Aiding a competitor of the Company.

h.         Definition of “Good Reason”.  For purposes of this Agreement, the Employee’s termination of his employment with the Company for “Good Reason” shall mean (i) TeleTech’s breach of its material obligations under this Agreement and any and all Exhibits hereto, and the failure of TeleTech to cure the circumstances of such breach within 30 calendar days of a written notice from the Employee; or (ii) a change in the Employee’s role or responsibilities that would materially impact his ability to effectively drive the performance of consulting business at TeleTech to enable him to delivery financial results necessary to create value and earn incentives reasonably anticipated in paragraph 3(b) and Exhibit B of this Agreement.  The term “Good Reason” does not refer to an ordinary course of business reorganization of TeleTech business segments where CSS is not a stand along segment, nor does it involve a change in the reporting relationship for the role, as long as the Employee has the scope of responsibilities necessary to drive operational and financial results for TeleTech’s consulting business.

7.         RELOCATION IS NOT REQUIRED.  The Company shall not require Employee to relocate until such time as is mutually agreed to by both Employee and the Company.

8.         TRAVEL REQUIRED.  Company agrees that Employee will be permitted to travel in business class for international travel exceeding 6 hours in duration.

9.         SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.  The Company, its successors and assigns may in their sole discretion assign this Agreement to any person or entity in connection with the merger, acquisition or other business combination that results in the divestiture or transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the Company. This Agreement shall bind, and inure to the benefit of the Company’s successors or assigns.  This Agreement is for personal services and the Employee shall not assign his rights or obligations hereunder.

10.       GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION.

a.         Employee and the Company agree that in the event of any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to Employee’s employment with and/or separation from the Company, they shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the controversy or claim privately, amicably and confidentially.  Each party may consult with counsel in connection with such negotiations.

b.         Governing Law. This Agreement will be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado without regard to conflict of law principles.

c.         Disputes.  The parties agree that any action arising from or relating in any way to this Agreement, shall be resolved and tried in the state or federal courts situated in Denver, Colorado. The parties consent to jurisdiction and venue of those courts to the greatest extent allowed by law.

In this regard, the Employee acknowledges and admits to all or a combination of several following substantial contacts with Colorado:  (i) the Employee is employed, provides services for or otherwise is affiliated with an legal entity headquartered in the state of Colorado; (ii) the Employee receives the compensation in a form of Employee checks or wire transfers that are drawn either directly or indirectly, from bank accounts in Colorado; (iii) the Employee regularly

5

interacts with, contacts and is contacted by  other TeleTech employees and executives in Colorado; (iv) the Employee either routinely travels to or attends business meetings in Colorado; and (v) the Employee receives substantial compensation and benefits as a result of TeleTech being a corporation headquartered in and subject to the laws of Colorado.  Based on these and other contacts, the Employee acknowledges that he could reasonably be subject to the laws of Colorado.

d.         Attorney’s fees. The party that substantially prevails in any action to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall recover all reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the action.

11.       Non-Disclosure, Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation.  Employee agrees to execute, simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the Company’s Agreement to Protect Confidential Information, Assign Inventions and Prevent Unfair Competition and Unfair Solicitation (“Confidentiality Agreement”), incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit D.   In addition to the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement, the Employee in consideration of the employment opportunity and compensation provided hereunder, agrees and covenants during the term of his affiliation with the Company (as an employee or otherwise):

a.         Non-Compete Undertaking. For a period of twelve (12) months from separation from the Company, without TeleTech’s consent, not to work for or otherwise contribute his knowledge, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, as an employee, officer, owner, manager, advisor, consultant, agent, partner, director, significant shareholder (i.e. a shareholder holding more than 5% of outstanding equity in the company), volunteer, intern or in any other similar capacity anywhere in the world to a business entity engaged in the customer experience and customer engagement business substantially similar to TeleTech’s, its subsidiaries and affiliates, including entities engaged in the full, or partial life cycle of customer strategy, analytics-driven, technology-enabled customer engagement management solutions from customer engagement strategy consulting, to technology and analytics driven customer acquisition to technology solution development and integration to business process outsourcing customer care (collectively, “TeleTech Business”).  This Non-Compete Undertaking shall apply throughout, and shall be limited by, the territory where the Employee performs services for the Company and TeleTech as provided in this Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, the term ‘performs services for’ shall not be limited to ‘works at’ or any other limitation delineating where the Employee performs the actual services, but instead shall related to the entire territory where the Company and TeleTech benefits and is reasonable to expect to benefit from the Employee’s services. Given the Employee’s role as the Executive Vice President for CSS business segment, and the world-wide reach of the CSS business, the territory for purposes of this Agreement shall be worldwide.

b.         Employee Non-Solicitation Undertaking. For a period of twenty four (24) months from separation from the Company, agrees not to solicit, hire, recruit, attempt to hire or recruit, or induce the termination of employment, directly or indirectly, of any then current employee of the Company or its subsidiaries and affiliates; and

c.         Client Non-Solicitation Undertaking. For a period of twenty four (24) months from separation from the Company, agrees not to solicit or interfere with business relationships between TeleTech and its current and prospective (currently actively pursued) clients of TeleTech or any of its subsidiaries and affiliates for purposes of offering or accepting goods or services similar to or competitive with those offered by TeleTech or any of its subsidiaries and affiliates.

6

d.         Consequences of Breach. If the Employee breaches any of the covenants and undertakings set forth in this paragraph 11:

(i)All of the Employees unvested RSUs shall be immediately forfeited and neither TeleTech nor the Company shall have any further liabilities to the Employee pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation no liability for any Performance-Based RSUs not yet granted or granted and unvested;

(ii)   The Employee and those who aid him in such breach shall be liable for all costs and business loses including any damages and out of pocket expenses associated with or resulting from such breach; and

(iii) The Employee hereby consents and agrees that the Company and TeleTech shall be entitled to seek, in addition to other available remedies, a temporary or permanent injunction or other equitable relief against such breach or threatened breach from any court of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity of showing any actual damages or that money damages would not afford an adequate remedy, and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security. The aforementioned equitable relief shall be in addition to, not in lieu of, legal remedies, monetary damages or other available forms of relief.

12.       IRSC Section 409A.

a.         Interpretation.  This Agreement shall be interpreted and administered in a manner so that any amount or benefit payable hereunder shall be paid or provided in a manner that is either exempt from, or complies with, the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the Internal Revenue Service guidance and Treasury Regulations thereunder (“Section 409A”).

b.         Separation from Service; Separate Payments.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any payment or benefit constitutes non-exempt “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A, and such payment or benefit would otherwise be payable or distributable hereunder by reason of Employee’s termination of employment, all references to Employee’s “termination of employment” shall be construed to mean a “separation from service,” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h), and Employee shall not be considered to have had a termination of employment unless such termination constitutes a “separation from service” with respect to Employee.  If under this Agreement, an amount is to be paid in two or more installments, for purposes of Section 409A, each installment shall be treated as a separate payment.

c.         Specified Employee.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if Employee is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i)) on the date of Employee’s “separation from service”, any benefit or payment that constitutes non-exempt “nonqualified deferred compensation” (within the meaning of Section 409A) shall be delayed in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), and any such delayed payment shall be paid to Employee in a lump sum during the ten (10) day period commencing on the earlier of (i) the expiration of a six-month period from the date of Employee’s “separation from service,” or (ii) Employee’s death.  To the greatest extent permitted under Section 409A, any separate payment or benefit under the Agreement will not be deemed to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A and the six-month delay requirement to the extent provided in the exceptions in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.409A-1(b)(4) or 1.409A-1(b)(9), or in any other applicable exception or provision of Section 409A.

7

d.         Reimbursements.  With regard to any provision in this Agreement that provides for reimbursement of costs and expenses or in-kind benefits, except as permitted by Section 409A, (i) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits, provided during any taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year, provided that the foregoing clause (ii) shall not be violated with regard to expenses reimbursed under any arrangement covered by Section 105(b) of the Code solely because such arrangement provides for a limit on the amount of expenses that may be reimbursed over some or all of the period the arrangement is in effect and (iii) such payments shall be made on or before the last day of Employee’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the expenses were incurred.

e.         Cooperation.  If the parties hereto determine that any payments or benefits payable under this Agreement intended to comply with Section 409A do not so comply, Employee and the Company agree to amend this Agreement, or take such other actions as Employee and the Company deem necessary or appropriate, to comply with the requirements of Section 409A, while preserving benefits that are, in the aggregate, no less favorable than the benefits as provided to Employee under this Agreement.  If any provision of this Agreement would cause such payments or benefits to fail to so comply, such provision shall not be effective and shall be null and void with respect to such payments or benefits, and such provision shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.

13.       Miscellaneous.

a.         Severability. If any court of competent jurisdiction declares any provision of this Agreement invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the Agreement shall remain fully enforceable.  To the extent that any court concludes that any provision of this Agreement is void or voidable, the court shall reform such provision(s) to render the provision(s) enforceable, but only to the extent absolutely necessary to render the provision(s) enforceable.

b.         Modification of Agreement.  This Agreement or any other term or condition of employment shall not be modified by word or deed, except in writing signed by the Employee and the Executive Vice President, Chief Administrative Officer or Chief Executive Officer for TeleTech.

c.         Waiver.  No provision of this Agreement shall be deemed waived, nor shall there be an estoppel against the enforcement of any such provision, except by a writing signed by the party charged with the waiver or estoppel.  No waiver shall be deemed continuing unless specifically stated therein, and the written waiver shall operate only as to the specific term or condition waived, and not for the future or as to any act other than that specifically waived.

d.         Construction.  Whenever applicable, masculine and neutral pronouns shall equally apply to the feminine genders; the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular.  The parties have reviewed and understand this Agreement, and each has had a full opportunity to negotiate the agreement’s terms and to consult with counsel of their own choosing.  Therefore, the parties expressly waive all applicable common law and statutory rules of construction that any provision of this Agreement should be construed against the agreement’s drafter, and agree that this Agreement and all amendments thereto shall be construed as a whole, according to the fair meaning of the language used.

e.         Employee’s Representations and Warranties.  Employee represents and warrants, to the best of his knowledge, that the Employee is not a party to any employment, non-competition or other agreement or restriction which could interfere with the Employee’s

8

employment with the Company or Employee’s or the Company’s or TeleTech’s rights and obligations hereunder, and that Employee’s acceptance of employment with the Company and the performance of Employee’s duties hereunder will not breach the provisions of any contract, agreement, or understanding to which Employee is a party or any duty owed by Employee to any other person.

f.          Counterparts, Telecopies and PDFs.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, or by copies transmitted by pdf or telecopier, which counterparts and/or facsimile transmissions shall have the same force and effect as had the contract been executed in person and in original form.

g.         Return and/or Forfeiture of Compensation and Equity Grants.  Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement or in the related RSU agreements, in the event that pursuant to the terms or requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, or of any applicable laws, rules or regulations promulgated by the US Securities and Exchange Commission or any listing requirements of any stock exchange or stock market on which any securities of TeleTech trade, from time to time, and in the event any bonus payment, stock award or other payment is based upon the satisfaction of financial performance metrics which are subsequently reversed due to a restatement or reclassification of financial results of TeleTech, then any payments made or equity awards granted (and equity received pursuant to these awards) shall be returned and forfeited to the extent required and as provided by applicable laws, rules, regulations or listing requirements.  This paragraph 13(g) shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason.

h.         Controlling Provisions.  The employment arrangement contemplated by this Agreement includes other related documents in addition to this Employment Agreement, some of which are TeleTech and the Company standard documents not otherwise tailored to this transaction.  To the extent any provisions of these related agreements contradict the clear provisions and terms of this Employment Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall be controlling.

Employee acknowledges and agrees: that he understands this Agreement; that he enters into it freely, knowingly, and mindful of the fact that it creates important legal obligations and affects his legal rights; and that he understands the need to consult concerning this Agreement with legal counsel of his own choosing, and has had a full and fair opportunity to do so.

ACQUISITIONS [ABSTRACT]

ACQUISITIONS

(2)ACQUISITIONS & INVESTMENTS

rogenSi

In the third quarter of 2014, as an addition to the Customer Strategy Services (“CSS”) segment, the Company acquired substantially all operating assets of rogenSi Worldwide PTY, Ltd., a global leadership, change management, sales, performance training and consulting company.

The total purchase price was $34.4 million, subject to certain working capital adjustments, and consists of $18.1 million in cash at closing and an estimated $14.5 million in three earn-out payments, contingent on the acquired companies and TeleTech's CSS segment achieving certain agreed earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) targets, as defined in the sale and purchase agreement. Additionally, the estimated purchase price included a $1.8 million hold-back payment for contingencies as defined in the sale and purchase agreement which will be paid in the first quarter of 2016, if required. The total contingent consideration possible per the sale and purchase agreement ranges from zero to $17.6 million and the earn-out payments are payable in early 2015, 2016 and 2017, based on July 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014, and full year 2015 and 2016 performance, respectively.

The fair value of the contingent consideration was measured by applying a probability weighted discounted cash flow model based on significant inputs not observable in the market (Level 3 inputs). Key assumptions include a discount rate of 4.6% and expected future value of payments of $15.3 million. The $15.3 million of expected future payments was calculated using a probability weighted EBITDA assessment with the highest probability associated with rogenSi achieving the targeted EBITDA for each earn-out year. As of the acquisition date, the fair value of the contingent consideration was approximately $14.5 million. During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company recorded a fair value adjustment of the contingent consideration of $0.5 millionbased on revised estimates noting higher probability of exceeding the EBITDA targets (see Note 7). As of March 31, 2015, the fair value of the contingent consideration was $15.3 million, of which $11.3 million and $4.0 million were included in Other accrued expenses and Other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively.

The following summarizes the preliminary estimated fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (in thousands):

		Preliminary Estimate of Acquisition Date Fair Value
Cash		$	2,670
Accounts receivable, net			6,417
Other assets			2,880
Property, plant and equipment			578
Deferred tax assets, net			449
Customer relationships			9,348
Goodwill			20,927
			43,269
Accounts payable			708
Accrued employee compensation and benefits			2,203
Accrued expenses			1,146
Other			4,843
			8,900
	Total purchase price	$	34,369

The estimates of fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary, pending completion of a valuation, thus are subject to revisions that may result in adjustments to the values presented above.

The rogenSi customer relationships have been estimated based on similar acquisitions and are amortized over an estimated useful life of five years. The goodwill recognized from the rogenSi acquisition is estimated to be attributable, but not limited to, the acquired workforce and expected synergies within CSS. None of the tax basis of the acquired intangibles and goodwill will be deductible for income tax purposes. The acquired goodwill and the operating results of rogenSi are reported, as its own reporting unit, within the CSS segment from the date of acquisition.

Sofica

In the first quarter of 2014, as an addition to the Customer Management Services (“CMS”) segment, the Company acquired a 100% interest in Sofica Group, a Bulgarian joint stock company (“Sofica”). Sofica provides customer lifecycle management and other business process services across multiple channels in multiple sites in over 18 languages.

The purchase price of $14.2 million included $9.4 million in cash consideration (including working capital adjustments) and an estimated $3.8 million in earn-out payments, payable in 2015 and 2016, contingent on Sofica achieving specified EBITDA targets, as defined by the stock purchase agreement. The total contingent consideration possible per the stock purchase agreement ranges from zero to $7.5 million. Additionally, the purchase price includes a $1.0 million hold-back payment for contingencies as defined in the stock purchase agreement which will be paid in the second quarter of 2016, if required.

The fair value of the contingent consideration was measured based on significant inputs not observable in the market (Level 3 inputs). Key assumptions include a discount rate of 5.0% and expected future value of payments of $4.0 million. The $4.0 million of expected future payments was calculated using a probability weighted EBITDA assessment with the highest probability associated with Sofica achieving the targeted EBITDA for each earn-out year. As of the acquisition date, the fair value of the contingent consideration was approximately $3.8 million. During the third and fourth quarters of 2014, the Company recorded fair value adjustments of the contingent consideration of $1.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively based on revised estimates noting higher probability of exceeding the EBITDA targets (see Note 7). As of March 31, 2015, the fair value of the contingent consideration was $6.4 million, of which $3.6 million and $2.8 million were included in Other accrued expenses and Other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively.

Financial Impact of Acquired Businesses

The acquired businesses purchased in 2014 noted above contributed revenues of $12.5 million and income from operations of $1.1 million, inclusive of $0.7 million of acquired intangible amortization, to the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Investments

CaféX

In the first quarter of 2015, the Company invested $9.0 million in CafeX Communications, Inc. (“CafeX”) through the purchase of a portion of the Series B Preferred Stock of CafeX. After the transaction, the Company owns 17.3% of the total equity of CafeX. CaféX is a provider of omni-channel web-based real time communication (WebRTC) solutions that enhance mobile applications and websites with in-app video communication and screen share technology to increase customer satisfaction and enterprise efficiency.

Basis of Presentation

The Consolidated Financial Statements are comprised of the accounts of TeleTech, its wholly owned subsidiaries, its 55% equity owned subsidiary Percepta, LLC, and its 80% interest in iKnowtion, LLC.All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company and the consolidated results of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and the consolidated cash flows of the Company. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015.

These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited Consolidated financial Statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates including those related to derivatives and hedging activities, income taxes including the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, self-insurance reserves, litigation reserves, restructuring reserves, allowance for doubtful accounts, contingent consideration, and valuation of goodwill, long-lived and intangible assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs”. ASU 2015-03 requires all costs incurred in connection with the issuance of debt to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability. This ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating when it will adopt the standard but does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operation or related disclosures.

Credit Facility

In the second quarter of 2013, the Company entered into a $700.0 million, five-year, multi-currency revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders which includes an accordion feature that permits the Company to request an increase in total commitments up to $1.0 billion, under certain conditions. Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, KeyBank National Association, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, BBVA Compass and HSBC Bank USA, National Association served as Joint Lead Arrangers. The Credit Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Company's prior credit facility entered into during 2010 and amended in 2012.

The Credit Agreement provides for a secured revolving credit facility that matures on June 3, 2018 with an initial maximum aggregate commitment of $700.0 million. At the Company's discretion, direct borrowing options under the Credit Agreement include (i) Eurodollar loans with one, two, three, and six month terms, and/or (ii) overnight base rate loans. The Credit Agreement also provides for a sub-limit for loans or letters of credit in both U.S. dollars and certain foreign currencies, with direct foreign subsidiary borrowing capabilities up to 50% of the total commitment amount. The Company may increase the maximum aggregate commitment under the Credit Agreement to $1.0 billion if certain conditions are satisfied, including that the Company is not in default under the Credit Agreement at the time of the increase and that the Company obtains the commitment of the lenders participating in the increase.

The Company primarily utilizes its Credit Agreement to fund working capital, general operations, stock repurchases and other strategic activities, such as the acquisitions described in Note 2. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had borrowings of $126.0 million and $100.0 million, respectively, under its Credit Agreement, and its average daily utilization was $297.0 million and $270.9 million for thethree months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. After consideration for issued letters of credit under the Credit Agreement, totaling $3.2 million, the Company's remaining borrowing capacity was $570.8 million as of March 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and conditions under its Credit Agreement.

From time-to-time, the Company has unsecured, uncommitted lines of credit to support working capital for a few foreign subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2015 and 2014, no foreign loans were outstanding.

Letters of Credit

As of March 31, 2015, outstanding letters of credit under the Credit Agreement totaled $3.2 million and primarily guaranteed workers' compensation and other insurance related obligations. As of March 31, 2015, letters of credit and contract performance guarantees issued outside of the Credit Agreement totaled $4.6 million.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company has been involved in legal actions, both as plaintiff and defendant, which arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for exposures associated with such legal actions to the extent that losses are deemed both probable and estimable. To the extent specific reserves have not been made for certain legal proceedings, their ultimate outcome, and consequently, an estimate of possible loss, if any, cannot reasonably be determined at this time.

Based on currently available information and advice received from counsel, the Company believes that the disposition or ultimate resolution of any current legal proceedings, except as otherwise specifically reserved for in its financial statements, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

The Company performs a goodwill impairment assessment on at least an annual basis. The Company conducts its annual goodwill impairment assessment during the fourth quarter, or more frequently, if indicators of impairment exist.

The Company concluded that goodwill for all reporting units was not impaired at December 1, 2014. While no impairment indicators were identified, due to the small margin of fair value in excess of carrying value for two reporting units, Revana (approximately 6%) and WebMetro (approximately 11%), these reporting units remain at considerable risk for future impairment if projected operating results are not met or other inputs into the fair value measurement change.

At March 31, 2015, the Company updated its quantitative assessment of these reporting units fair value using an income based approach. The determination of fair value requires significant judgments including estimation of future cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term growth rates for the businesses, the useful lives over which the cash flows will occur and determination of appropriate discount rates (based in part on the Company's weighted average cost of capital). Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or conclusions on goodwill impairment for each reporting unit. As of March 31, 2015, the updated fair values continue to exceed the carrying values for Revana (approximately 12%) and WebMetro (approximately 17%). The Company will continue to review the calculated fair value of these reporting units until the fair value is substantially in excess of its carrying value.

The Company had one client that contributed in excess of 10% of total revenue for thethree months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. This client operates in the communications industry and is included in the Customer Management Services segment. This client contributed 10.9% and11.6% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. This client had an outstanding receivable balance of $37.6million and $32.3millionas of March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The loss of one or more of its significant clients could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results, or financial condition. The Company does not require collateral from its clients. To limit the Company's credit risk, management performs periodic credit evaluations of its clients and maintains allowances for uncollectible accounts and may require pre-payment for services. Although the Company is impacted by economic conditions in various industry segments, management does not believe significant credit risk existed as of March 31, 2015.

The Consolidated Financial Statements are comprised of the accounts of TeleTech, its wholly owned subsidiaries, its 55% equity owned subsidiary Percepta, LLC, and its 80% interest in iKnowtion, LLC.All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates including those related to derivatives and hedging activities, income taxes including the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, self-insurance reserves, litigation reserves, restructuring reserves, allowance for doubtful accounts, contingent consideration, and valuation of goodwill, long-lived and intangible assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs”. ASU 2015-03 requires all costs incurred in connection with the issuance of debt to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability. This ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating when it will adopt the standard but does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operation or related disclosures.

Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest

(12)       MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST

The Company holds an 80% interest in iKnowtion. In the event iKnowtion meets certain EBITDA targets for calendar year 2015, the purchase and sale agreement requires TeleTech to purchase the remaining 20% interest in iKnowtion in 2016 for an amount equal to a multiple of iKnowtion's 2015 EBITDA as defined in the purchase and sale agreement. These terms represent a contingent redemption feature which the Company determined is probable of being achieved.

The Company has recorded the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest at the redemption value based on the corresponding EBITDA multiples as prescribed in the purchase and sale agreement at the end of each reporting period. At the end of each reporting period the changes in the redemption value are recorded in retained earnings. Since the EBITDA multiples as defined in the purchase and sale agreement are below the current market multiple, the Company has determined that there is no preferential treatment to the noncontrolling interest shareholders resulting in no impact to earnings per share.

A rollforward of the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest is as follows (in thousands):

INCOME TAXES [ABSTRACT]

INCOME TAXES

(8)INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the accounting literature forincome taxes, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences of transactions that have been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Quarterly, the Company assesses the likelihood that its net deferred tax assets will be recovered. Based on the weight of all available evidence, both positive and negative, the Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets when it is more-likely-than-not that a future tax benefit will not be realized.

During the first quarter of 2014, a benefit of $1.2 million was recorded due to the closing of statutes of limitations in Canada.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had $52.8 million of gross deferred tax assets (after a $10.4 million valuation allowance) and net deferred tax assets (after deferred tax liabilities) of $49.9 million related to the U.S. and international tax jurisdictions whose recoverability is dependent upon future profitability.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was 18.0% and 11.9%, respectively.

The Company's U.S. income tax returns filed for the tax years ending December 31, 2011 to present remain open tax years. The Company has been notified of the intent to audit, or is currently under audit, of income taxes in the U.S. specifically for the acquired entity Technology Solutions Group for the tax year 2012 (prior to acquisition) and Canada for tax years 2009 and 2010. Although the outcome of examinations by taxing authorities are always uncertain, it is the opinion of management that the resolution of these audits will not have a material effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

(6)DERIVATIVES

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company enters into foreign exchange and interest rate related derivatives. Foreign exchange derivatives entered into consist of forward and option contracts to reduce the Company's exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations that are associated with forecasted revenue earned in foreign locations. Interest rate derivatives consist of interest rate swaps to reduce the Company's exposure to interest rate fluctuations associated with its variable rate debt. Upon proper qualification, these contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. It is the Company's policy to only enter into derivative contracts with investment grade counterparty financial institutions, and correspondingly, the fair value of derivative assets consider, among other factors, the creditworthiness of these counterparties. Conversely, the fair value of derivative liabilities reflects the Company's creditworthiness. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had not experienced, nor does it anticipate, any issues related to derivative counterparty defaults. The following table summarizes the aggregate unrealized net gain or loss in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 (in thousands and net of tax):

FAIR VALUE

FAIR VALUE [Abstract]

FAIR VALUE

(7)FAIR VALUE

The authoritative guidance forfair value measurementsestablishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires that the Company maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

The following presents information as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 for the Company's assets and liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as the fair value hierarchy used to determine their fair value.

Accounts Receivable and Payable- The amounts recorded in the accompanying balance sheets approximate fair value because of their short-term nature.

Debt-The Company's debt consists primarily of the Company's Credit Agreement, which permits floating-rate borrowings based upon the current Prime Rate or LIBOR plus a credit spread as determined by the Company's leverage ratio calculation (as defined in the Credit Agreement). As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had $126.0 million and $100.0 million, respectively, of borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement.During the first quarter of 2015 outstanding borrowings accrued interest at an average rate of 1.2% per annum, excluding unused commitment fees. The amounts recorded in the accompanying Balance Sheets approximate fair value due to the variable nature of the debt.

Derivatives -Net derivative assets (liabilities) are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The portfolio is valued using models based on market observable inputs, including both forward and spot foreign exchange rates, interest rates, implied volatility, and counterparty credit risk, including the ability of each party to execute its obligations under the contract. As of March 31, 2015, credit risk did not materially change the fair value of the Company's derivative contracts.

The following is a summary of the Company's fair value measurements for its net derivative assets (liabilities) as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in thousands):

Deferred Compensation Plan — The Company maintains a non-qualified deferred compensation plan structured as a Rabbi trust for certain eligible employees. Participants in the deferred compensation plan select from a menu of phantom investment options for their deferral dollars offered by the Company each year, which are based upon changes in value of complementary, defined market investments. The deferred compensation liability represents the combined values of market investments against which participant accounts are tracked.

Contingent Consideration — The Company recorded contingent consideration related to the acquisitions of iKnowtion, Guidon, TSG, WebMetro, Sofica and rogenSi. These contingent payables were recognized at fair value using a discounted cash flow approach and a discount rate of 21.0%, 21.0%, 4.6%, 5.3%, 5.0% or 4.6%, respectively. The discount rates vary dependant on the specific risks of each acquisition including the country of operation, the nature of services and complexity of the acquired business, and other similar factors. These measurements were based on significant inputs not observable in the market. The Company will accrete interest expense each period using the effective interest method until the future value of these contingent payables reaches their expected future value of $24.7 million. Interest expense related to all recorded purchase price payables is included in Interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

During the second and fourth quarters of 2014, the Company recorded fair value adjustments of the contingent consideration associated with the TSG reporting unit within the CTS segment based on revised estimates noting achievement of the targeted 2014 and 2015 EBITDA was remote. Accordingly, a $4.0 million and $3.9 million, respectively, reductions in the payable were recorded as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2014 and were included in Other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

During the third and fourth quarters of 2014, the Company recorded fair value adjustments of the contingent consideration associated with the Sofica reporting unit within the CMS segment of $1.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively, as the Company's revised estimates reflected Sofica exceeding its EBITDA targets for both 2014 and 2015. Accordingly, the $1.8 million and $0.6 million increases in the payable were recorded as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2014 and were included in Other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

During the third quarter of 2014, the Company recorded a fair value adjustment of the contingent consideration associated with the WebMetro reporting unit within the CGS segment based on revised estimates noting achievement of the targeted 2014 EBITDA was remote. Accordingly, a $1.7 million reduction in the payable was recorded as of September 30, 2014 and was included in Other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company recorded a fair value adjustment of the contingent consideration associated with the rogenSi reporting unit within the CSS segment based on revised estimates reflecting rogenSi exceeding its EBITDA targets for 2014. Accordingly a $0.5 million increase in the payable was recorded as of December 31, 2014 and was included in Other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

During the first quarter of 2015, the Company assessed the contingent payables associated with all of the acquisitions and determined that no material adjustments were necessary.

A rollforward of the activity in the Company's fair value of the contingent consideration payable is as follows (in thousands):

(9)RESTRUCTURING CHARGES AND IMPAIRMENT LOSSES

Restructuring Charges

During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company undertook a number of restructuring activities primarily associated with reductions in the Company's capacity and workforce in several of its segments to better align the capacity and workforce with current business needs.

A summary of the expenses recorded in Restructuring, net in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss)for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, is as follows (in thousands):

			Three Months Ended March 31,

	Customer Growth Services			-		29
	Customer Technology Services			-		-

A rollforward of the activity in the Company's restructuring accruals is as follows (in thousands):

		Closure of Delivery Centers		Reduction in Force		Total
Balance as of December 31, 2014		$	-	$	2,071	$	2,071

The remaining restructuring accruals are expected to be paid or extinguished during 2015 and are all classified as current liabilities within Other accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Impairment Losses

During each of the periods presented, the Company evaluated the recoverability of its leasehold improvement assets at certain delivery centers. An asset is considered to be impaired when the anticipated undiscounted future cash flows of its asset group are estimated to be less than the asset group's carrying value. The amount of impairment recognized is the difference between the carrying value of the asset group and its fair value. To determine fair value, the Company used Level 3 inputs in its discounted cash flows analysis. Assumptions included the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and assumed discount rates. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized no losses related to leasehold improvement assets.

MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST (NARRATIVE) (DETAILS)	3 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2015
Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest [Abstract]
Description of mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest	The Company has recorded the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest at the redemption value based on the corresponding EBITDA multiples as prescribed in the purchase and sale agreement at the end of each reporting period. At the end of each reporting period the changes in the redemption value are recorded in retained earnings. Since the EBITDA multiples as defined in the purchase and sale agreement are below the current market multiple, the Company has determined that there is no preferential treatment to the noncontrolling interest shareholders resulting in no impact to earnings per share.
