PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1. Financial Statements

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

West Corporation and subsidiaries

Omaha, Nebraska

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of West Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2013, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and of comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, and of stockholders’ deficit and of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of West Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 8, 2013, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

1. ORGANIZATION, CONSOLIDATION AND PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Business Description: West Corporation (the “Company” or “West”) is a leading provider of technology-driven communication services. “We,” “us” and “our” also refer to West and its consolidated subsidiaries, as applicable. We offer a broad portfolio of services, including conferencing and collaboration, unified communications, alerts and notifications, emergency communications, business process outsourcing and telephony / interconnect services. The scale and processing capacity of our proprietary technology platforms, combined with our expertise in managing voice and data transactions, enable us to provide reliable, high-quality, mission-critical communications designed to maximize return on investment for our clients. Our clients include Fortune 1000 companies, along with small and medium enterprises in a variety of industries, including telecommunications, retail, financial services, public safety, technology and healthcare. We have sales and operations in the United States, Canada, Europe, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and South America.

We operate in two business segments:

• Unified Communications, including conferencing and collaboration, event services, Internet Protocol (“IP”)-based unified communications solutions, and alerts and notifications; and

• Communication Services, including emergency communications, automated call processing, telephony / interconnect services and agent-based services.

Unified Communications

• Conferencing & Collaboration. Operating under the InterCall^® brand, we are the largest conferencing services provider in the world based on conferencing revenue, according to Wainhouse Research. We managed approximately 134 million conference calls in 2012, an 11% increase over 2011. We provide our clients with an integrated global suite of meeting services.

• Event Services. InterCall offers multimedia platforms designed to give our clients the ability to create, manage, distribute and reuse content internally and externally. Through a combination of proprietary products and strategic partnerships, our clients have the tools to support all of their internal and external multimedia requirements.

• IP-Based Unified Communications Solutions. We provide our clients with enterprise class IP-based communications solutions enabled by our technology. We offer hosted IP-private branch exchange and enterprise call management, hosted and managed multi-protocol label switching network solutions, unified communications partner solution portfolio services, cloud-based security services, integrated conferencing/desktop messaging and presence tools, and professional services and systems integration expertise.

• Alerts & Notifications. Our technology platforms allow clients to manage and deliver automated, proactive and personalized communications. We use multiple delivery channels (voice, text messaging, email, social media and fax), based on the preference of the recipient. For example, we deliver patient notifications and send and confirm appointments and prescription reminders on behalf of our healthcare clients; send and receive automated outage notifications on behalf of our utility clients; and transmit emergency evacuation notices on behalf of municipalities.

Communication Services

• Emergency Communications. We believe we are one of the largest providers of emergency communications services, based on the number of 9-1-1 calls that we and other participants in the industry facilitate. Our services are critical in facilitating public safety agencies’ ability to receive emergency calls from citizens. Our clients generally enter into long-term contracts and fund their obligations through monthly charges on users’ telephone bills.

• Automated Call Processing. We believe we have developed a best-in-class automated customer service platform. Our services allow our clients to effectively communicate with their customers through inbound and outbound interactive voice response applications using natural language speech recognition, automated voice prompts and network-based call routing services. In addition to these front-end customer service applications, we also provide analyses that help our clients improve their automated communications strategy. Our open standards-based platform allows the flexibility to integrate new capabilities, such as mobility, social media and cloud-based services.

• Telephony / Interconnect Services. Our telephony / interconnect services support the merging of traditional telecom, mobile and IP technologies to service providers and enterprises. We are a leading provider of local and national tandem switching services to carriers throughout the United States. We leverage our proprietary customer traffic information system, sophisticated call routing and control facility to provide tandem interconnection services to the competitive marketplace, including wireless, wire-line, cable telephony and Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) companies. We entered this market through the acquisition of HyperCube, LLC (“HyperCube”) in March 2012.

• Agent-Based Services. We provide our clients with large-scale, agent-based services. We target opportunities that allow our agent-based services to be a part of larger strategic client engagements and with clients for whom these services can add value. We believe that we are known in the industry as a premium provider of these services. We offer a flexible model that includes on-shore, off-shore and virtual home-based agent capabilities to fit our clients’ needs.

Basis of Consolidation – The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of West and our wholly-owned subsidiaries and reflect all adjustments (all of which are normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results, and cash flows for the interim periods. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Our results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of what our results will be for other interim periods or for the full fiscal year.

Reverse Stock Split – On March 8, 2013, we completed a 1-for-8 reverse stock split and amended our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation by filing an amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State. We also adjusted the share amounts under our executive incentive plan and nonqualified deferred compensation plan as a result of the 1-for-8 reverse stock split. All numbers of common shares and per common share data in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split and the changes to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company.

(UNAUDITED)

Initial Public Offering – On March 27, 2013, we completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) of 21,275,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share.

Dividend – Subject to legally available funds, we intend to pay a quarterly cash dividend. We anticipate funding our dividend with cash generated by our operations. The declaration and payment of all future dividends, if any, will be at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors. On May 16, 2013, we paid a $0.225 per common share quarterly dividend. The total dividend was $18.8 million paid to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 6, 2013. In August 2012, a special dividend and dividend equivalent was declared. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, dividends and dividend equivalents of $0.2 million were paid on options and restricted stock that vested during this period and were subject to the special dividend. Approximately $0.2 million of the special dividend equivalent remains accrued at June 30, 2013 and will be paid as the stock options vest over the next two and one-half years.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition – In our Unified Communications segment, conferencing and event services are generally billed and revenue recognized on a per participant minute basis. Web services are generally billed and revenue recognized on a per participant minute basis or, in the case of operating license arrangements, generally billed in advance and revenue recognized ratably over the service life period, IP-based services are generally billed and revenue recognized on a per seat basis and alerts and notifications are generally billed, and revenue recognized, on a per message or per minute basis. We also charge clients for additional features, such as conference call recording, transcription services or professional services.

Our Communication Services segment recognizes revenue for platform-based and agent-based services in the month that services are performed and services are generally billed based on call duration, hours of input, number of calls or a contingent basis. Emergency communications revenue within the Communication Services segment is generated primarily from monthly fees based on the number of billing telephone numbers and cell towers covered under contract. In addition, product sales and installations are generally recognized upon completion of the installation and client acceptance of a fully functional system or, for contracts that are completed in stages, recognized upon completion of such stages. Contracts for annual recurring services such as support and maintenance agreements are generally billed in advance and are recognized as revenue ratably (on a monthly basis) over the contractual periods. Revenue for contingent collection services and overpayment identification and recovery services is recognized in the month collection payments are received based upon a percentage of cash collected or other agreed upon contractual parameters. Revenue for telephony / interconnect services is recognized in the period the service is provided and when collection is reasonably assured. These telephony / interconnect services are primarily comprised of switched access charges for toll-free origination services, which are paid primarily by interexchange carriers.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – We consider short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less at acquisition to be cash equivalents.

Trust and Restricted Cash – Trust cash represents cash collected on behalf of our clients that has not yet been remitted to them. A related liability is recorded in accounts payable until settlement with the respective clients. Restricted cash primarily represents cash held as collateral for certain letters of credit.

Foreign Currency and Translation of Foreign Subsidiaries – The functional currencies of our foreign operations are the respective local currencies. All assets and liabilities of our foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at fiscal period-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the fiscal period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of stockholders’ deficit and comprehensive income. Foreign currency transaction gains or losses are recorded in the statement of operations.

Subsequent Events – In accordance with the provisions of ASC 855, we have evaluated subsequent events. No subsequent events requiring recognition were identified and therefore none were incorporated into the condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements – In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (ASU 2012-02), allowing entities the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. If the qualitative assessment indicates it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required. Otherwise, no testing is required. ASU 2012-02 became effective for the Company January 1, 2013 and the adoption did not have an effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)(ASU 2013-02), which adds additional disclosure requirements for items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. ASU 2013-02 became effective for the Company January 1, 2013 and the adoption did not have an effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

2. ACQUISITION

On March 23, 2012, we completed the acquisition of HyperCube, a provider of switching services to telecommunications carriers throughout the United States. HyperCube exchanges or interconnects communications traffic to all types of carriers, including wireless, wire-line, cable telephony and VoIP companies. The purchase price was $77.9 million and was funded by cash on hand and partial use of our asset securitization financing facility.

Factors that contributed to a purchase price resulting in the recognition of goodwill, partially deductible for tax purposes, for the purchase of HyperCube included the synergy related to telecommunication transport costs and new products and services related to IP and mobile communications.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date for HyperCube. The finite lived intangible assets are comprised of trade names, technology, non-competition agreements and customer relationships.

On February 20, 2013, the Company, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as administrative agent, and the various lenders party thereto modified our senior secured credit facilities (“Senior Secured Credit Facilities”) by entering into Amendment No. 3 to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”), amending our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 5, 2010, by and among West, Wells Fargo, as administrative agent, and the various lenders party thereto, as lenders (as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of August 15, 2012, Amendment No. 2 to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 24, 2012, and the Third Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”).

The Third Amendment provided for a reduction in the applicable margins and interest rate floors of all term loans, extended the maturity of a portion of the term loans due July 2016 to June 2018 and added a further step down to the applicable margins of all term loans upon satisfaction of certain conditions. As of the effective date of the Third Amendment, we had outstanding the following senior secured term loans:

• Term loans in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $2.1 billion (the “2018 Maturity Term Loans”). The 2018 Maturity Term Loans will mature on June 30, 2018, and the interest rate margins applicable to the 2018 Maturity Term Loans were 3.25%, for LIBOR rate loans, and 2.25%, for base rate loans; and

• Term loans in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $317.7 million ($316.1 million at June 30, 2013) (the “2016 Maturity Term Loans”; and, together with the 2018 Maturity Term Loans, the “Term Loans”). The 2016 Maturity Term Loans will mature on July 15, 2016, and the interest rate margins applicable to the 2016 Maturity Term Loans were 2.75%, for LIBOR rate loans, and 1.75%, for base rate loans.

The Amended Credit Agreement also provided for interest rate floors applicable to the Term Loans. The interest rate floors are 1.00%, for LIBOR rate loans, and 2.00%, for base rate loans. The Term Loans are subject to an additional step down to the applicable margins by 0.50% conditioned upon completion of our IPO and attaining and maintaining a total leverage ratio less than or equal to 4.75:1.00, which conditions were satisfied as of April 30, 2013 and continue to apply as of June 30, 2013.

The Amended Credit Agreement also provided for a soft call option applicable to the Term Loans. The soft call option provides for a premium equal to 1.0% of the amount of the repricing payment, in the event that, on or prior to the six month anniversary of the effective date of the Third Amendment, West or the subsidiary borrowers enter into certain repricing transactions.

In connection with the Third Amendment, we incurred refinancing expenses of approximately $24.2 million for the soft-call premium paid to holders of term loans outstanding prior to the effectiveness of the Third Amendment and $6.0 million for other fees and expenses. These costs were capitalized as deferred financing costs and will be amortized over the life of the Amended Credit Agreement.

Effective as of April 30, 2013, we certified that our total leverage ratio was less than 4.75:1.00 and, in accordance with the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, the interest rate margins applicable to the 2018 Maturity Term Loans were reduced by 0.50% to 2.75% for LIBOR rate loans and 1.75% for base rate loans, and the interest rate margins applicable to the 2016 Maturity Term Loans were reduced by 0.50% to 2.25% for LIBOR rate loans and 1.25% for base rate loans. The reduced interest rate margins are subject to a 0.50% increase in the event our leverage ratio as of the end of our quarterly reporting period exceeds 4.75:1:00.

On April 26, 2013, we redeemed the entire outstanding $450.0 million principal amount of our 11% Senior Subordinated Notes (“Senior Subordinated Notes”). The redemption price was 103.667% of the principal amount of the Senior Subordinated Notes. In addition, we paid accrued and unpaid interest on the redeemed Senior Subordinated Notes up to, but not including, the Redemption Date. Following this redemption, none of the Senior Subordinated Notes remained outstanding. We recorded the $16.5 million subordinated debt call premium in other non-operating expense. Upon completion of the redemption, we recorded other non-operating expense of $6.6 million for the remaining amortization of the balance of deferred financing costs associated with the Senior Subordinated Notes.

At June 30, 2013, we were in compliance with our debt covenants.

6. HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Periodically, we have entered into interest rate swaps to hedge the cash flows from our variable rate debt, which effectively converts the hedged portion under our outstanding senior secured term loan facility to fixed rate debt. The initial assessments of hedge effectiveness were performed using regression analysis. The periodic measurements of hedge ineffectiveness are performed using the change in variable cash flows method.

The cash flow hedges were recorded at fair value with a corresponding entry, net of taxes, recorded in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) until earnings were affected by the hedged item. In June 2013, three interest rate swaps with a notional value of $500.0 million matured. The interest rate on these three interest rate swaps ranged from 1.685% to 1.6975%. At June 30, 2013, we did not have any interest rate swaps.

7. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

Accounting Standards Codification 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of ASC 820 apply to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. ASC 820:

• Defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and

• Establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.

Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, the fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The three levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows:

• Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

• Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for assets or liabilities.

The categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

Trading Securities (Asset). The assets held in the West Corporation Executive Retirement Savings Plan and the West Corporation Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan represent mutual funds, invested in debt and equity securities, classified as trading securities in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification 320 Investments—Debt and Equity Securities considering the employee’s ability to change the investment allocation of their deferred compensation at any time. Quoted market prices are available for these securities in an active market therefore, the fair value of these securities is determined by Level 1 inputs.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

We evaluate classification within the fair value hierarchy at each period. There were no transfers between any levels of the fair value hierarchy during the periods presented.

Interest rate swaps. The effect of the interest rate swaps was to change a variable rate debt obligation to a fixed rate for that portion of the debt that was hedged. We recorded the interest rate swaps at fair value. The fair value of the interest rate swaps was based on a model whose inputs were observable (LIBOR swap rates); therefore, the fair value of the interest rate swaps was based on a Level 2 input. At June 30, 2013, we did not have any interest rate swaps outstanding.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, in thousands, are summarized below:

	Fair Value Measurements at June 30, 2013 Using

The fair value of our 8 ⁵/₈% senior notes and 7 ⁷/₈% senior notes based on market quotes, which we determined to be Level 1 inputs, at June 30, 2013 was approximately $1,215.5 million compared to the carrying amount of $1,150.0 million. The fair value of our 8 ⁵/₈% senior notes and 7 ⁷/₈% senior notes based on market quotes, which we determined to be Level 1 inputs, at December 31, 2012 was approximately $1,199.4 million compared to the carrying amount of $1,150.0 million. Our Senior Subordinated Notes were paid in full in April 2013. At December 31, 2012 the fair value or our Senior Subordinated Notes were $468.6 million compared to the carrying value of $450.0 million.

The fair value of our senior secured term loan facilities was estimated using current market quotes on comparable debt securities from various financial institutions. All of the inputs used to determine the fair market value of our senior secured term loan facilities are Level 2 inputs and obtained from an independent source. The fair value of our senior secured term loan facilities at June 30, 2013 was approximately $2,404.3 million compared to the carrying amount of $2,405.6 million. The fair value of our senior secured term loan facilities at December 31, 2012 was approximately $2,455.1 million compared to the carrying amount of $2,417.7 million.

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as defined by and in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 820. As such, property and equipment with a net carrying amount totaling $3.7 million were written down to zero during the six months ended June 30, 2012. This write-down was the result of the abandonment of capitalized costs incurred during the development of an internally developed software payroll application and was recorded in Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) expenses.

8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock options granted under the West Corporation 2006 Executive Incentive Plan (“2006 EIP”) prior to 2012 become exercisable over a period of five years, with 20% of the stock option becoming exercisable on each of the first through fifth anniversaries of the grant date. During 2012, a form of option certificate was adopted such that the 2012 grants become exercisable over a period of four years, with 25% of the stock option becoming exercisable on each of the first through fourth anniversaries of the grant date. Once an option has vested, it generally remains exercisable until the tenth anniversary of the grant date so long as the participant continues to provide services to the Company.

On August 15, 2012, our Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend of $8.00 per share to be paid to stockholders of record as of August 15, 2012. In addition, the Board of Directors authorized equivalent cash payments and/or adjustments to holders of outstanding stock options to reflect the payment of such dividend as required by the terms of our incentive plans. In addition, in connection with such payment, our Board of Directors accelerated the vesting of certain stock options that were granted in 2012 and scheduled to vest in 2013. The stock-based compensation recorded as a result of the accelerated vesting was $6.8 million. For options granted in 2012 and scheduled to vest in 2014 through 2016, no dividend equivalent was paid but the option exercise price was reduced by $8.00 to $25.52. Options granted prior to 2012 and options granted in 2012 originally scheduled to vest in 2013 participated in the dividend equivalent payment with no modification to the option exercise price. In conjunction with the refinancing and dividend, an appraisal of the Company was performed by Corporate Valuation Advisors, Inc., and approved by management and the Board of Directors, of the fair market value of each respective stock option grant and the underlying share of common stock both before and immediately after the dividend and refinancing. An additional $1.5 million stock-based compensation charge was recorded on option grants where the fair market value of the option and dividend equivalent paid, if any, exceeded the fair market value of the option before dividend and refinancing.

The executive rollover options are fully vested.

The following table summarizes the outstanding and exercisable information on executive management rollover options granted under the 2006 EIP at June 30, 2013:

Outstanding and Exercisable
Number of Options	Average Remaining Contractual Life (years)		Weighted Average Exercise Price
139,611		1.1	$	5.47

The aggregate intrinsic value of these options at June 30, 2013 was approximately $2.3 million.

We account for the stock option grants under the 2006 EIP in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. The fair value of option awards granted under the 2006 EIP during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $9.04 and $12.24, respectively. The fair value of the option awards on which vesting was accelerated in 2012 was $5.92. The fair value of the option awards on which the exercise price was reduced by the amount of the $8.00 dividend in 2012, was $8.96. We estimated the fair value of 2006 EIP option awards on the grant date using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table:

Expected life (years)		6.25			6.3			4.83			6.15

The risk-free interest rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the zero-coupon U.S. government treasury strip with a maturity which approximates the expected life of the option at the time of grant.

There was approximately $12.8 million and $24.5 million of unrecorded and unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options under the 2006 EIP at June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which will be recognized over the remaining vesting period of approximately three and one-half years.

The options awarded in 2013 were made under the 2006 EIP and prior to a decision to pay quarterly dividends. No further grants or awards are expected to be made under the 2006 EIP.

Restricted Stock

In connection with our recently completed IPO, our compensation committee accelerated the vesting of all remaining unvested shares subject to the restricted stock award and special bonus agreements and restricted stock award agreements entered into pursuant to the 2006 EIP. The acceleration resulted in the vesting of an aggregate of 42,562 shares of common stock. As a result of the accelerated vesting, $1.2 million of stock-based compensation was recognized in SG&A during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan

Prior to the completion of our IPO, we adopted the 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) which is intended to provide our officers, employees, non-employee directors and consultants with added incentive to remain employed by or perform services for us and align such individuals’ interests with those of our stockholders. Under the terms of the LTIP, 8,500,000 shares of common stock will be available for awards granted under the LTIP, subject to adjustment for stock splits and other similar changes in capitalization. The number of available shares will be reduced by the aggregate number of shares that become subject to outstanding awards granted under the LTIP. To the extent that shares subject to an outstanding award granted under the LTIP are not issued or delivered by reason of the expiration, termination, cancellation or forfeiture of such award or by reason of the settlement of such award in cash, then such shares will again be available under the LTIP.

Upon consummation of our IPO, we paid each of our non-employee directors who are not affiliated with our Sponsors fully vested 5,000 shares of common stock. The stock awards are subject to pro rata forfeiture if the director does not remain on the board for at least six months.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

For the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, stock-based compensation expense was $1.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, stock-based compensation expense was $5.0 million and $2.6 million, respectively.

9. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could result if options or other contingently issuable shares were exercised or converted into common stock and notional shares from the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan were granted. Diluted earnings per common share assumes the exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method.

	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
(In thousands, except per share amounts)	2013		2012		2013		2012
Earnings Per Common Share:
Basic	$	0.52	$	0.60	$	0.63	$	1.15
Diluted	$	0.51	$	0.58	$	0.62	$	1.11
Weighted Average Number of Shares Outstanding:
Basic—Common		83,524		61,384		73,716		61,345
Dilutive Impact of Stock Options:
Common Shares		1,419		2,181		1,435		2,180
Diluted Common Shares		84,943		63,565		75,151		63,525

Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares result from the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options, by application of the treasury stock method that have a dilutive effect on earnings per share. At June 30, 2013 and 2012, 2,718,599 and 2,673,500 stock options were outstanding with an exercise price equal to or exceeding the market value of our common stock, such shares that were therefore excluded from the computation of shares contingently issuable upon exercise of the options.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) and the Notes thereto.

Business Overview

We are a leading provider of technology-driven, communication services. We offer a broad portfolio of services, including conferencing and collaboration, unified communications, alerts and notifications, emergency communications, business process outsourcing and telephony / interconnect services. The scale and processing capacity of our proprietary technology platforms, combined with our expertise in managing voice and data transactions, enable us to provide reliable, high-quality, mission-critical communications designed to maximize return on investment for our clients. Our clients include Fortune 1000 companies, along with small and medium enterprises in a variety of industries, including telecommunications, retail, financial services, public safety, technology and healthcare. We have sales and operations in the United States, Canada, Europe, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and South America.

38

Since our founding in 1986, we have invested significantly to expand our technology platforms and develop our operational processes to meet the complex and changing communications needs of our clients. We have evolved our business mix from labor-intensive communication services to predominantly diversified and platform-based, technology-driven voice and data services.

Investing in technology and developing specialized expertise in the industries we serve are critical components to our strategy of enhancing our services and our value proposition. In 2012, we managed approximately 28 billion telephony minutes and approximately 134 million conference calls, facilitated over 260 million 9-1-1 calls, and delivered over 1.2 billion notification calls and data messages. With approximately 750,000 telephony ports to handle conference calls, 9-1-1 public safety calls, alerts and notifications and customer service at June 30, 2013, we believe our platforms provide scale and flexibility to handle greater transaction volume than our competitors, offer superior service and develop new offerings. These ports include approximately 440,000 IP ports, which we believe provide us with the only large-scale proprietary IP-based global conferencing platform deployed and in use today. Our technology-driven platforms allow us to provide a broad range of complementary platform and agent-based service offerings to our diverse client base.

Financial Operations Overview

Revenue

In our Unified Communications segment, our conferencing and collaboration services, event services and IP-based unified communication solutions are generally billed on a per participant minute or per seat basis and our alerts and notifications services are generally billed on a per message or per minute basis. Billing rates for these services vary depending on participant geographic location, type of service (such as audio, video or web conferencing) and type of message (such as voice, text, email or fax). We also charge clients for additional features, such as conference call recording, transcription services or professional services. Since we entered the conferencing services business, the average rate per minute that we charge has declined while total minutes sold has increased. This is consistent with industry trends. We expect this trend to continue for the foreseeable future.

In our Communication Services segment, our emergency communications solutions are generally billed per month based on the number of billing telephone numbers or cell towers covered under each client contract. We also bill monthly for our premise-based database solution. In addition, we bill for sales, installation and maintenance of our communication equipment technology solutions. Our platform-based and agent-based customer service solutions are generally billed on a per minute or per hour basis. We are generally paid on a contingent fee basis for our receivables management and overpayment identification and recovery services as well as for certain other agent-based services. Our telephony / interconnect services are generally billed based on usage of toll-free origination services.

Cost of Services

The principal component of cost of services for our Unified Communications segment is our variable telephone expense. Significant components of our cost of services in this segment also include labor expense, primarily related to commissions for our sales force. Because the services we provide in this segment are largely platform-based, labor expense is less significant than the labor expense we experience in our Communication Services segment.

The principal component of cost of services for our Communication Services segment is labor expense. Labor expense in costs of services primarily reflects compensation and benefits for the agents providing our agent-based services, but also includes compensation for personnel dedicated to emergency communications database management, manufacturing and development of our premise-based public safety solution as well as commissions for our sales professionals. We generally pay commissions to sales professionals on both new sales and incremental revenue generated from existing clients. A significant component of our cost of services in this segment also includes variable telephone expense.

39

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

The principal component of our selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) is salary and benefits for our sales force, client support staff, technology and development personnel, senior management and other personnel involved in business support functions. SG&A also includes certain fixed telephone costs as well as other expenses that support the ongoing operation of our business, such as facilities costs, certain service contract costs, equipment depreciation and maintenance, impairment charges and amortization of finite-lived intangible assets.

Key Drivers Affecting Our Results of Operations

Factors Related to Our Indebtedness.

On March 27, 2013, we completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) of 21,275,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, registered pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-162292). Proceeds received from the IPO, net of the underwriter’s discount were $401.0 million. The Company paid $2.0 million in Sponsor management fees in the six months ended June 30, 2013 and an additional $23.0 million on July 1, 2013, to an investor group led by Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P. and Quadrangle Group LLC (the “Sponsors”) pursuant to that certain management agreement, dated October 24, 2006, and that certain management letter agreement, dated March 8, 2013. The management agreement terminated in accordance with its terms immediately prior to completion of the IPO.

On April 26, 2013, we redeemed our 11% $450.0 million principal amount senior subordinated notes due 2016. The redemption price was equal to 103.667% of the principal amount of the senior subordinated notes. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we recorded a $16.5 million subordinated debt call premium and $6.6 million accelerated amortization of deferred financing costs as a non-operating expense. In addition, we paid accrued and unpaid interest on the redeemed senior subordinated notes up to April 26, 2013. Following this redemption, none of the senior subordinated notes remain outstanding.

On February 20, 2013, West, certain domestic subsidiaries of West, as subsidiary borrowers, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as administrative agent, and the various lenders party thereto modified our senior secured credit facilities (“Senior Secured Credit Facilities”) by entering into Amendment No. 3 to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”), amending our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 5, 2010, by and among West, Wells Fargo, as administrative agent, and the various lenders party thereto, as lenders (as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of August 15, 2012, and Amendment No. 2 to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 24, 2012, and with the Third Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”).

The Third Amendment provided for a reduction in the applicable margins and interest rate floors of all term loans, extended the maturity of a portion of the term loans due July 2016 to June 2018, and added a further step down to the applicable margins of all term loans upon satisfaction of certain conditions, which conditions were satisfied effective as of April 30, 2013 and continue to apply as of June 30, 2013. As of the effective date of the Third Amendment, we had the following senior secured term loans outstanding:

• Term loans in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $2.1 billion (the “2018 Maturity Term Loans”). The 2018 Maturity Term Loans will mature on June 30, 2018, and the interest rate margins applicable to the 2018 Maturity Term Loans were 3.25%, for LIBOR rate loans, and 2.25%, for base rate loans; and

• Term loans in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $317.7 million ($316.1 million at June 30, 2013) (the “2016 Maturity Term Loans”; and, together with the 2018 Maturity Term Loans, the “Term Loans”). The 2016 Maturity Term Loans will mature on July 15, 2016, and the interest rate margins applicable to the 2016 Maturity Term Loans were 2.75%, for LIBOR rate loans, and 1.75%, for base rate loans.

40

The Amended Credit Agreement also provides for interest rate floors applicable to the Term Loans. The interest rate floors are 1.00% for LIBOR rate loans and 2.00% for base rate loans. The Term Loans are subject to an additional step down to the applicable margins by 0.50% conditioned upon our completion of an IPO and attaining and maintaining a total leverage ratio less than or equal to 4.75:1.00. Effective as of April 30, 2013, we certified that our total leverage ratio was less than 4.75:1.00 and, in accordance with the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, the interest rate margins applicable to the 2018 Maturity Term Loans were reduced by 0.50% to 2.75% for LIBOR rate loans and 1.75% for base rate loans, and the interest rate margins applicable to the 2016 Maturity Term Loans were reduced by 0.50% to 2.25% for LIBOR rate loans and 1.25% for base rate loans. The reduced interest rate margins are subject to a 0.50% increase in the event our leverage ratio as of the end of our quarterly reporting period exceeds 4.75:1:00. Effective as of April 30, 2013, we certified that our total leverage ratio was less than 4.75:1.00, which conditions were satisfied as of April 30, 2013 and continue to apply as of June 30, 2013.

Evolution to Predominately Platform-based Solutions Business. We have evolved into a diversified and platform-based technology-driven service provider. Since 2005, our revenue from platform-based services has grown from 37% of total revenue to 73% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and our operating income from platform-based services has grown from 53% of total operating income to 93% over the same period. As in the past, we will continue to seek and invest in higher margin businesses, irrespective of whether the associated services are delivered to our customers through an agent-based or a platform-based environment. We expect our platform-based service lines to grow at a faster pace than agent-based services and as a result will continue to increase as a percentage of our total revenue. However, many of our customers require an integrated service offering that incorporates both agent-based and platform-based services—for example, an automated voice response system with the option for the client’s customer to speak to an agent. Accordingly, we expect agent-based services will continue to represent a meaningful portion of our service offerings for the foreseeable future.

Acquisition Activities. Identifying and successfully integrating acquisitions of value-added service providers has been a key component of our business strategy. We will continue to seek opportunities to expand our suite of communication services across industries, geographies and end-markets. While we expect this will occur primarily through organic growth, we have and will continue to acquire assets and businesses that strengthen our value proposition to clients and drive value to us. We have developed an internal capability to source, evaluate and integrate acquisitions that we believe has created value for shareholders. Since 2005, we have invested approximately $2.0 billion in strategic acquisitions. We believe there are acquisition candidates that will enable us to expand our capabilities and markets and intend to continue to evaluate acquisitions in a disciplined manner and pursue those that provide attractive opportunities to enhance our growth and profitability.

Key Factors Related to Cash Flows

Our expectation is to return some portion of our free cash flow to shareholders each year through a regular quarterly dividend. We expect to use the remaining free cash flow to reduce leverage and fund acquisitions to accelerate growth. Our goal is to reduce net leverage to less than 4x adjusted EBITDA by the end of the first quarter of 2015 through free cash flow generation and EBITDA growth.

Our pro forma adjusted interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $94.7 million compared to actual interest expense of $130.2 million. Pro forma adjusted interest expense reflects the impact of lower debt balances and lower interest rates applicable following our IPO. Approximately $15.8 million of the pro forma adjustment relates to the savings for the full six months ended June 30, 2013, from the redemption of the $450 million senior subordinated notes and the remaining $19.7 million relates to the savings associated with the pricing of the Third Amendment to our senior secured term loan facilities as if these transactions had been completed January 1, 2013. The amendment of the $2.4 billion senior secured term loan facilities and redemption of the 11% senior subordinated notes will reduce our annual cash interest expense by approximately $97.0 million. Further, the Third Amendment extended the maturity of $1.1 billion of term loans to June 2018.

On April 26, 2013, we redeemed the entire outstanding $450.0 million principal amount of our 11% senior subordinated notes. The redemption price was 103.667% of the principal amount of the senior subordinated notes. This redemption will reduce our annual cash interest expense run rate by $49.5 million.

The completion of our senior term loan amendment on February 20, 2013 and redemption of the senior subordinated notes on April 26, 2013, provides us with annual run rate interest savings of $96.5 million and further benefits us with an improved capital structure, reduced leverage and greater overall financial flexibility.

Earnings per common share-diluted for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 were $0.51 and $0.62, respectively, compared to earnings per share-diluted for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 of $0.58 and $1.11, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically financed our operations and capital expenditures primarily through cash flows from operations, supplemented by borrowings under our bank and asset securitization credit facilities.

On March 27, 2013, we completed our IPO of 21,275,000 shares of common stock. Proceeds from the offering, net of the underwriting discounts and commissions were $401.0 million. On April 26, 2013, we redeemed our $450.0 million 11% senior subordinated notes. The redemption price was 103.667% of the principal amount of the senior subordinated notes.

On April 26, 2013, Moody’s Investors Service upgraded West Corporation’s corporate family rating to B1 from B2. On June 19, 2013, Standard & Poors Ratings Services upgraded West Corporation’s corporate credit rating to BB- from B+ and raised the senior secured issue-level rating to BB from B+.

Our current and anticipated uses of our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are to fund operating expenses, acquisitions, capital expenditures, interest payments, tax payments, quarterly dividends and the repayment of principal on debt.

The following table summarizes our cash flows by category for the periods presented:

	For the Six Months Ended June 30,
In thousands:	2013			2012			Change			% Change
Cash flows from operating activities	$	193,664		$	135,374		$	58,290			43.1	%
Cash flows used in investing activities	$	(61,002	)	$	(135,630	)	$	74,628			55.0	%
Cash flows used in financing activities	$	(93,693	)	$	(7,418	)	$	(86,275	)		NM

NM—Not Meaningful

Net cash flows from operating activities increased $58.3 million, or 43.1%, to $193.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to net cash flows from operating activities of $135.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in net cash flows from operating activities is primarily due to improvements in our collections of accounts receivable and the timing of interest payments.

Days sales outstanding , a key performance indicator that we utilize to monitor the accounts receivable average collection period and assess overall collection risk, was 60 days at June 30, 2013 compared to 63 days at June 30, 2012.

Net cash flows used in investing activities decreased $74.6 million, or 55.0%, to $61.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to net cash flows used in investing activities of $135.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, our business acquisition investing was $77.2 million less than during the six months ended June 30, 2012. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, cash used for capital expenditures was $59.5 million compared to $58.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Net cash flows used in financing activities increased $86.3 million to $93.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to net cash flows used in financing activities of $7.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, net proceeds from our IPO net of related offering costs were $398.3 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we redeemed $450.0 million 11% senior subordinated notes. The redemption price was 103.667% of the principal amount of the senior subordinated

48

notes. Dividends paid during the six months ended June 30, 2013 were $19.0 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, net proceeds from revolving credit facilities were $35.0 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, deferred financing and other debt related costs of $30.2 million were paid in connection with the Third Amendment on February 20, 2013. Principal repayments on long-term obligations made during the six months ended June 30, 2013 were $12.1 million compared to $7.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012.

As of June 30, 2013, the amount of cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries was $84.0 million. We have accrued U.S. taxes on $218.2 million of unremitted foreign earnings and profits. Our intent is to permanently reinvest a portion of these funds outside the U.S. for acquisitions and capital expansion, and to repatriate a portion of these funds. Based on our current projected capital needs and the current amount of cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries, we do not anticipate incurring any material tax costs beyond our accrued tax position in connection with such repatriation, but we may be required to accrue for unanticipated additional tax costs in the future if our expectations or the amount of cash held by our foreign subsidiaries change.

Subject to legally available funds, we intend to pay a quarterly cash dividend at a rate equal to approximately $18.8 million per quarter (or an annual rate of $75.2 million). Based on approximately 83.6 million shares of common stock outstanding, this implies a quarterly dividend of approximately $0.225 per share (or an annual dividend of approximately $0.90 per share). We anticipate funding our dividend with cash generated by our operations. The declaration and payment of all future dividends, if any, will be at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors. On July 31, 2013, we announced a $0.225 per common share quarterly dividend. The dividend is payable August 22, 2013, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 12, 2013.

Given our current levels of cash on hand, anticipated cash flows from operations and available borrowing capacity, we believe we have sufficient liquidity to conduct our normal operations and pursue our business strategy in the ordinary course.

Senior Secured Term Loan Facility

On February 20, 2013, we modified our Senior Secured Credit Facilities by entering into the Third Amendment. The Senior Secured Credit Facilities, as modified by the Third Amendment, provided for a reduction in the applicable margins and interest rate floors of all term loans, extended the maturity of a portion of the term loans due July 2016 to June 2018 and added a further step down to the applicable margins of all term loans upon satisfaction of certain conditions which conditions were satisfied effective as of April 30, 2013 and continue to apply as of June 30, 2013. As of the effective date of the Third Amendment, we had outstanding the following senior secured term loans:

• 2018 Maturity Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $2.1 billion; and

• 2016 Maturity Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $317.7 million ($316.1 million at June 30, 2013).

In connection with the Third Amendment, we incurred refinancing expenses of approximately $24.2 million for the soft-call premium paid to holders of term loans outstanding prior to the effectiveness of the Third Amendment and $6.0 million for other fees and expenses.

After giving effect to the Third Amendment as of the effective date of the Third Amendment, the interest rate margins for the 2016 Maturity Term Loans were 2.75% for LIBOR rate loans, and 1.75% for base rate loans, the interest rate margins for the 2018 Maturity Term Loans were 3.25% for LIBOR rate loans, and 2.25% for base rate loans and the interest rate floor is 1.00% for the LIBOR component of the LIBOR rate loans and 2.00% for the base rate component of the base rate loans. Effective as of April 30, 2013, we certified that our total leverage ratio was less than 4.75:1.00, which continue to apply as of June 30, 2013 and, in accordance with the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, the interest rate margins applicable to

49

the 2018 Maturity Term Loans were reduced by 0.50% to 2.75% for LIBOR rate loans and 1.75% for base rate loans, and the interest rate margins applicable to the 2016 Maturity Term Loans were reduced by 0.50% to 2.25% for LIBOR rate loans and 1.25% for base rate loans. The reduced interest rate margins are subject to a 0.50% increase in the event our leverage ratio as of the end of our quarterly reporting period exceeds 4.75:1:00. The Third Amendment also provides for a soft call option applicable to all of the outstanding term loans. The soft call option provides for a premium equal to 1.0% of the amount of the repricing payment, in the event that, on or prior to the six month anniversary of the effective date of the amendment, we or our subsidiary borrowers enter into certain repricing transactions.

Our senior secured term loan facility and senior secured revolving credit facility bear interest at variable rates. The amended and restated senior secured term loan facility, after giving effect to the Third Amendment, requires annual principal payments of approximately $24.2 million, paid quarterly with balloon payments at maturity dates of July 15, 2016 and June 30, 2018 of approximately $306.5 million and $1,989.8 million respectively. The effective annual interest rates, inclusive of debt amortization costs, on the senior secured term loan facilities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 were 4.11% and 4.72%, respectively, compared to 4.97% and 5.01%, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.

Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility

Our senior secured revolving credit facilities provide senior secured financing of up to $201 million and matures on January 15, 2016. The senior secured revolving credit facility pricing is based on our total leverage ratio and the grid ranges from 2.75% to 3.50% for LIBOR rate loans (LIBOR plus 2.75% at June 30, 2013), and the margin ranges from 1.75% to 2.50% for base rate loans (base rate plus 1.75% at June 30, 2013). We are required to pay each non-defaulting lender a commitment fee of 0.375% in respect of any unused commitments under the senior secured revolving credit facility. The commitment fee in respect of unused commitments under the senior secured revolving credit facility is subject to adjustment based upon our total leverage ratio.

The senior secured revolving credit facilities were undrawn during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. The highest outstanding balance on the extended maturity senior secured revolving credit facility during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 was $19.9 million. The average daily outstanding balance of the senior secured revolving credit facility during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, was $4.3 million and $2.6 million, respectively. The senior secured revolving credit facility was undrawn at June 30, 2012.

Subsequent to June 30, 2013, we may request additional tranches of term loans or increases to the revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount not to exceed $359.4 million, including the aggregate amount of $128.4 million of principal payments previously made in respect of the term loan facility. Availability of such additional tranches of term loans or increases to the revolving credit facility is subject to the absence of any default and pro forma compliance with financial covenants and, among other things, the receipt of commitments by existing or additional financial institutions.

2016 Senior Subordinated Notes

On April 26, 2013 we fully redeemed all of the outstanding 11% $450.0 million principal amount of the senior subordinated notes. The redemption price was 103.667% of the principal amount of the senior subordinated notes.

2018 Senior Notes

On October 5, 2010, we issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 8 5/8% senior notes that mature on October 1, 2018 (the “2018 Senior Notes”).

50

At any time prior to October 1, 2014, we may redeem all or a part of the 2018 Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of 2018 Senior Notes redeemed plus the applicable premium (as defined in the indenture governing the 2018 Senior Notes) as of, and accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption, subject to the right of holders of 2018 Senior Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

On and after October 1, 2014, we may redeem the 2018 Senior Notes in whole or in part at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount of the 2018 Senior Notes to be redeemed) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the applicable date of redemption, subject to the right of holders of 2018 Senior Notes of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on October 1 of each of the years indicated below:

Year	Percentage
2014		104.313
2015		102.156
2016 and thereafter		100.000

At any time (which may be more than once) before October 1, 2013, we can choose to redeem up to 35% of the outstanding notes with money that we raise in one or more equity offerings, as long as we pay 108.625% of the face amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest; we redeem the notes within 90 days after completing the equity offering; and at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable series of notes issued remains outstanding afterwards.

2019 Senior Notes

On November 24, 2010, we issued $650.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7 ⁷/₈% senior notes that mature January 15, 2019 (the “2019 Senior Notes”).

At any time prior to November 15, 2014, we may redeem all or a part of the 2019 Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of 2019 Senior Notes redeemed plus the applicable premium (as defined in the indenture governing the 2019 Senior Notes) as of, and accrued and unpaid interest to, the date of redemption, subject to the right of holders of 2019 Senior Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

Amended and Extended Asset Securitization

On September 12, 2011, the revolving trade accounts receivable financing facility between West Receivables LLC, a wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote direct subsidiary of West Receivables Holdings LLC and Wells Fargo was amended and extended. The amended and extended facility provides for $150.0 million in available financing and was extended to September 12, 2014, reduced the unused commitment fee 0.50% and lowered the LIBOR spread on borrowings by 150 basis points. Under the amended and extended facility, West Receivables Holdings LLC sells or contributes trade accounts receivables to West Receivables LLC, which sells undivided interests in the purchased or contributed accounts receivables for cash to one or more financial institutions. The availability of the funding is subject to the level of eligible receivables after deducting certain concentration limits and reserves. The proceeds of the facility are available for general corporate purposes. West Receivables LLC and West Receivables Holdings LLC are consolidated in our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report. At June 30, 2013, $35.0 million was drawn under this facility. At December 31, 2012, this facility was undrawn. The highest outstanding balance during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $50.0 million and $39.0 million, respectively.

Debt Covenants

Senior Secured Term Loan Facility and Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility – We are required to comply on a quarterly basis with a maximum total leverage ratio covenant and a minimum interest coverage ratio covenant. Pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement, the total leverage ratio of consolidated total debt to Adjusted EBITDA may not exceed 6.75 to 1.0 at June 30, 2013, and the interest coverage ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to the sum of consolidated interest expense must be not less than 1.85 to 1.0. The total leverage ratio will become more restrictive over time (adjusted periodically until the maximum leverage ratio reaches 6.00 to 1.0 in 2015). Both ratios are measured on a rolling four-quarter basis. We were in compliance with these financial covenants at June 30, 2013. We believe that for the foreseeable future we will continue to be in compliance with our financial covenants. The Senior Secured Credit Facilities also contain various negative covenants, including limitations on indebtedness, liens, mergers and consolidations, asset sales, dividends and distributions or repurchases of our capital stock, investments, loans and advances, capital expenditures, payment of other debt, including the senior subordinated notes, transactions with affiliates, amendments to material agreements governing our subordinated indebtedness, including the senior subordinated notes, and changes in our lines of business.

The Senior Secured Credit Facilities include certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants, and events of default, including payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to certain indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy, certain events under ERISA, material judgments, the invalidity of material provisions of the documentation with respect to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the failure of collateral under the security documents for the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the failure of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities to be senior debt under the subordination provisions of certain of our subordinated debt and a change of control of us. If an event of default occurs, the lenders under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities will be entitled to take certain actions, including the acceleration of all amounts due under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and all actions permitted to be taken by a secured creditor.

2018 Senior Notes and 2019 Senior Notes—The 2018 Senior Notes and the 2019 Senior Notes indentures contain covenants limiting, among other things, our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to: incur additional debt or issue certain preferred shares, pay dividends on or make distributions in respect of our capital stock or make other restricted payments, make certain investments, sell certain assets, create liens on certain assets to secure debt, consolidate, merge, sell, or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets, enter into certain transactions with our affiliates and designate our subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. We were in compliance with these financial covenants at June 30, 2013.

52

Our failure to comply with these debt covenants may result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, could accelerate the maturity of our indebtedness. If our indebtedness is accelerated, we may not have sufficient cash resources to satisfy our debt obligations and we may not be able to continue our operations as planned. If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations and keep us in compliance with the covenants under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities or to fund our other liquidity needs, we may be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures, sell assets or operations, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness including the notes. We cannot ensure that we would be able to take any of these actions, that these actions would be successful and would permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations or that these actions would be permitted under the terms of our existing or future debt agreements, including our Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the indentures that govern the notes. Our Senior Secured Credit Facilities documentation and the indentures that govern the notes restrict our ability to dispose of assets and use the proceeds from the disposition. As a result, we may not be able to consummate those dispositions or use the proceeds to meet our debt service or other obligations, and any proceeds that are available may not be adequate to meet any debt service or other obligations then due.

If we cannot make scheduled payments on our debt, we will be in default, and as a result:

• our debt holders could declare all outstanding principal and interest to be due and payable;

• the lenders under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities could terminate their commitments to lend us money and foreclose against the assets securing our borrowings; and

• we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation.

Amended and Extended Asset Securitization—The amended and extended asset securitization facility contains various customary affirmative and negative covenants and also contains customary default and termination provisions, which provide for acceleration of amounts owed under the program upon the occurrence of certain specified events, including, but not limited to, failure to pay yield and other amounts due, defaults on certain indebtedness, certain judgments, changes in control, certain events negatively affecting the overall credit quality of collateralized accounts receivable, bankruptcy and insolvency events and failure to meet financial tests requiring maintenance of certain leverage and coverage ratios, similar to those under our Senior Secured Credit Facility.

Contractual Obligations

We have contractual obligations that may affect our financial condition. However, based on management’s assessment of the underlying provisions and circumstances of our material contractual obligations, there is no known trend, demand, commitment, event or uncertainty that is reasonably likely to occur which would have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

53

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations at June 30, 2013 (amounts in thousands):

	Payment due by period
Contractual			Less than						After 5
Obligations	Total		1 year		1 - 3 years		4 - 5 years		years

(2) Based on projected telephony minutes through 2014. The contractual minimum is usage based and could vary based on actual usage.

(3) Represents future obligations for capital and expense projects that are in progress or are committed.

The table above excludes amounts to be paid for taxes and long-term obligations under our Nonqualified Executive Retirement Savings Plan and Nonqualified Executive Deferred Compensation Plan. The table also excludes amounts to be paid for income tax contingencies because the timing thereof is highly uncertain. At June 30, 2013, we have accrued $21.0 million, including interest and penalties for uncertain tax positions.

Capital Expenditures

Our operations continue to require significant capital expenditures for technology, capacity expansion and upgrades. Capital expenditures were $48.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $49.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. We currently estimate our capital expenditures for the remainder of 2013 to be approximately $76.3 million to $86.3 million primarily for equipment and upgrades at existing facilities.

Our senior secured term loan facilities discussed above include covenants which allow us the flexibility to issue additional indebtedness under our existing credit facilities in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $359.4 million (increased by the aggregate amount of future principal payments made in respect of the senior secured term loans), incur certain other pari passu or subordinated indebtedness, incur capital lease indebtedness, finance acquisitions, construction, repair, replacement or improvement of fixed or capital assets, incur asset securitization indebtedness and non-recourse indebtedness; provided we are in pro forma compliance with our total leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio financial covenants. We or any of our affiliates may be required to guarantee any existing or additional credit facilities.

Off – Balance Sheet Arrangements

We utilize standby letters of credit to support primarily workers’ compensation policy requirements and certain operating leases. Performance obligations of several of our subsidiaries are supported by performance bonds and letters of credit. These obligations will expire at various dates through May 2014 and are renewed as required. The outstanding commitment on these obligations at June 30, 2013 was $18.4 million.

54

Effects of Inflation

We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our financial position or results of operations. However, there can be no assurance that our business will not be affected by inflation in the future.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions on the part of management. The estimates and assumptions used by management are based on our historical experiences combined with management’s understanding of current facts and circumstances. Certain of our accounting policies are considered critical as they are both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require significant or complex judgment on the part of management. The accounting policies we consider critical are our accounting policies with respect to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, goodwill and other intangible assets, and income taxes.

For additional discussion of these critical accounting policies, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. There have not been any significant changes with respect to these policies during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market Risk Management

Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and changes in the market value of investments. The effect of inflation on our variable interest rate debt is discussed below in “Interest Rate Risk.”

Interest Rate Risk

As of June 30, 2013, we had $2,405.6 million outstanding under our senior secured term loan facility, $35.0 million outstanding under our Asset Securitization Facilities, $500.0 million outstanding under our 2018 Senior Notes and $650.0 million outstanding under our 2019 Senior Notes.

Due to the interest rate floors, our long-term obligations at variable interest rates would be subject to interest rate risk only if current LIBOR rates exceed the interest rate floors. A 50 basis point change in the variable interest rate at June 30, 2013, would have no impact on our variable interest rate. At June 30, 2013, the 30 and 90 day LIBOR rates were approximately 0.19505% and 0.274%, respectively. As a result of the interest rate floors and prevailing LIBOR rates, rate increases on our variable debt in the immediate and near term is unlikely.

Foreign Currency Risk

Our Unified Communications segment conducts business in countries outside of the United States. Revenue and expenses from these foreign operations are typically denominated in local currency, thereby creating exposure to changes in exchange rates. Generally, we do not hedge the foreign currency transactions. Changes in exchange rates may positively or negatively affect our revenue and net income attributed to these subsidiaries. Based on our level of operating activities in foreign operations during the six months ended June 30, 2013, a five percent change in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the Euro and British Pound Sterling would have positively or negatively affected our net operating income by less than one percent.

On June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Communication Services segment had no material revenue outside the United States. Our facilities in Canada, Jamaica, Mexico and the Philippines receive calls only from customers in North America under contracts denominated in U.S. dollars and therefore our foreign currency exposure is primarily for expenses incurred in the respective country.

55

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, revenues from non-U.S. countries were approximately 19% of consolidated revenues. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, revenues from non-U.S. countries were approximately 18% and 19% of consolidated revenues, respectively. During these periods no individual foreign country accounted for greater than 10% of revenue. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, long-lived assets from non-U.S. countries were approximately 8% and 9%, respectively. We have generally not entered into forward exchange or option contracts for transactions denominated in foreign currency to hedge against foreign currency risk. We are exposed to translation risk because our foreign operations are in local currency and must be translated into U.S. dollars. As currency exchange rates fluctuate, translation of our Statements of Operations of non-U.S. businesses into U.S. dollars affects the comparability of revenue, expenses, and operating income between periods.

Investment Risk

In 2010, we entered into three three-year interest rate swap agreements (cash flow hedges) to convert variable long-term debt to fixed rate debt. These swaps carried interest rates ranging from 1.685% to 1.6975% and expired in June 2013. At June 30, 2013, we had no cash flow hedges outstanding.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our management team continues to review our internal controls and procedures and the effectiveness of those controls. As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer concluded that, as of June 30, 2013, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. No corrective actions were required or taken.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of business, we and certain of our subsidiaries are defendants in various litigation matters and are subject to claims from our clients for indemnification, some of which may involve claims for damages that are substantial in amount. We do not believe the disposition of claims currently pending will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risks described under Item 1A in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. If any of the risks described therein occur, our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations could be materially affected.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

(a) Sales of Unregistered Securities

During the three months ended June 30, 2013, 660 shares of our common stock were distributed from the West Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan. The shares of common stock issued from the West Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan, referenced in the foregoing, were issued pursuant to written compensatory plans or arrangements in reliance on the exemptions provided by either Section 4(2) of the Securities Act or Rule 701 promulgated under Section 3(b) of the Securities Act.

(b) Use of Proceeds

On March 27, 2013, our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-162292) was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Pursuant to the Registration Statement, we sold an aggregate of 21,275,000 shares of our common stock at a price to the public of $20.00 per share. The offering closed on March 27, 2013 and resulted in net proceeds to us of $398.3 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $24.5 million and other estimated offering expenses of approximately $2.8 million.

In connection with the offering, our board of directors had approved transaction-based IPO bonuses of $2.9 million under our Executive Incentive Compensation Plan, of which $750,000 was granted to Mr. Thomas B. Barker and $250,000 was granted to each of Ms. Berger and Messrs. Mendlik, Stangl and Strubbe on March 21, 2013. Also in connection with the offering, our compensation committee accelerated vesting of all remaining unvested shares subject to the Restricted Stock Award and Special Bonus Agreements and Restricted Stock Award Agreements entered into pursuant to the 2006 Executive Incentive Plan. The acceleration resulted in the vesting of an aggregate of 42,562 shares of common stock, including the acceleration of 40,001 shares of common stock previously granted to Todd B. Strubbe.

On March 27, 2013, we delivered a notice of redemption to The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee of our intention to redeem all of the outstanding $450.0 million principal amount of the 11% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016. The redemption price was 103.667% of the principal amount of the senior subordinated notes and was completed on April 26, 2013. We used net proceeds from the offering as well as cash on hand to fund the redemption of the senior subordinated notes. There was no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our initial public offering as described in our final prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 22, 2013 pursuant to Rule 424(b).

Also in connection with the IPO, pursuant to the terms of that certain management agreement we entered into with the Sponsors dated October 24, 2006 and that certain management letter agreement we entered into with affiliates of the Sponsors, dated March 8, 2013, we paid $1.0 million to the Sponsors in April 2013 and paid the Sponsors the remaining $23.0 million in July 2013 with the remaining net proceeds from the offering and cash on hand.

(c) Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

None.

HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

HEDGING ACTIVITIES

6. HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Periodically, we have entered into interest rate swaps to hedge the cash flows from our variable rate debt, which effectively converts the hedged portion under our outstanding senior secured term loan facility to fixed rate debt. The initial assessments of hedge effectiveness were performed using regression analysis. The periodic measurements of hedge ineffectiveness are performed using the change in variable cash flows method.

The cash flow hedges were recorded at fair value with a corresponding entry, net of taxes, recorded in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) until earnings were affected by the hedged item. In June 2013, three interest rate swaps with a notional value of $500.0 million matured. The interest rate on these three interest rate swaps ranged from 1.685% to 1.6975%. At June 30, 2013, we did not have any interest rate swaps.

The following table presents, in thousands, the fair value of our derivatives and consolidated balance sheet location.

FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

7. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

Accounting Standards Codification 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of ASC 820 apply to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. ASC 820:

• Defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and

• Establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.

Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, the fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The three levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows:

• Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

• Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for assets or liabilities.

The categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

Trading Securities (Asset). The assets held in the West Corporation Executive Retirement Savings Plan and the West Corporation Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan represent mutual funds, invested in debt and equity securities, classified as trading securities in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification 320 Investments—Debt and Equity Securities considering the employee’s ability to change the investment allocation of their deferred compensation at any time. Quoted market prices are available for these securities in an active market therefore, the fair value of these securities is determined by Level 1 inputs.

We evaluate classification within the fair value hierarchy at each period. There were no transfers between any levels of the fair value hierarchy during the periods presented.

Interest rate swaps. The effect of the interest rate swaps was to change a variable rate debt obligation to a fixed rate for that portion of the debt that was hedged. We recorded the interest rate swaps at fair value. The fair value of the interest rate swaps was based on a model whose inputs were observable (LIBOR swap rates); therefore, the fair value of the interest rate swaps was based on a Level 2 input. At June 30, 2013, we did not have any interest rate swaps outstanding.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, in thousands, are summarized below:

The fair value of our 8 ⁵/₈% senior notes and 7 ⁷/₈% senior notes based on market quotes, which we determined to be Level 1 inputs, at June 30, 2013 was approximately $1,215.5 million compared to the carrying amount of $1,150.0 million. The fair value of our 8 ⁵/₈% senior notes and 7 ⁷/₈% senior notes based on market quotes, which we determined to be Level 1 inputs, at December 31, 2012 was approximately $1,199.4 million compared to the carrying amount of $1,150.0 million. Our Senior Subordinated Notes were paid in full in April 2013. At December 31, 2012 the fair value or our Senior Subordinated Notes were $468.6 million compared to the carrying value of $450.0 million.

The fair value of our senior secured term loan facilities was estimated using current market quotes on comparable debt securities from various financial institutions. All of the inputs used to determine the fair market value of our senior secured term loan facilities are Level 2 inputs and obtained from an independent source. The fair value of our senior secured term loan facilities at June 30, 2013 was approximately $2,404.3 million compared to the carrying amount of $2,405.6 million. The fair value of our senior secured term loan facilities at December 31, 2012 was approximately $2,455.1 million compared to the carrying amount of $2,417.7 million.

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as defined by and in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 820. As such, property and equipment with a net carrying amount totaling $3.7 million were written down to zero during the six months ended June 30, 2012. This write-down was the result of the abandonment of capitalized costs incurred during the development of an internally developed software payroll application and was recorded in Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) expenses.

ORGANIZATION, CONSOLIDATION AND PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Policies)

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2013

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Dividend

Dividend – Subject to legally available funds, we intend to pay a quarterly cash dividend. We anticipate funding our dividend with cash generated by our operations. The declaration and payment of all future dividends, if any, will be at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors. On May 16, 2013, we paid a $0.225 per common share quarterly dividend. The total dividend was $18.8 million paid to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 6, 2013. In August 2012, a special dividend and dividend equivalent was declared. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, dividends and dividend equivalents of $0.2 million were paid on options and restricted stock that vested during this period and were subject to the special dividend. Approximately $0.2 million of the special dividend equivalent remains accrued at June 30, 2013 and will be paid as the stock options vest over the next two and one-half years.

Basis of Consolidation

Basis of Consolidation – The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of West and our wholly-owned subsidiaries and reflect all adjustments (all of which are normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results, and cash flows for the interim periods. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Our results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of what our results will be for other interim periods or for the full fiscal year.

Reverse Stock Split

Reverse Stock Split – On March 8, 2013, we completed a 1-for-8 reverse stock split and amended our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation by filing an amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State. We also adjusted the share amounts under our executive incentive plan and nonqualified deferred compensation plan as a result of the 1-for-8 reverse stock split. All numbers of common shares and per common share data in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split and the changes to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company.

Initial Public Offering

Initial Public Offering – On March 27, 2013, we completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) of 21,275,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition – In our Unified Communications segment, conferencing and event services are generally billed and revenue recognized on a per participant minute basis. Web services are generally billed and revenue recognized on a per participant minute basis or, in the case of operating license arrangements, generally billed in advance and revenue recognized ratably over the service life period, IP-based services are generally billed and revenue recognized on a per seat basis and alerts and notifications are generally billed, and revenue recognized, on a per message or per minute basis. We also charge clients for additional features, such as conference call recording, transcription services or professional services.

Our Communication Services segment recognizes revenue for platform-based and agent-based services in the month that services are performed and services are generally billed based on call duration, hours of input, number of calls or a contingent basis. Emergency communications revenue within the Communication Services segment is generated primarily from monthly fees based on the number of billing telephone numbers and cell towers covered under contract. In addition, product sales and installations are generally recognized upon completion of the installation and client acceptance of a fully functional system or, for contracts that are completed in stages, recognized upon completion of such stages. Contracts for annual recurring services such as support and maintenance agreements are generally billed in advance and are recognized as revenue ratably (on a monthly basis) over the contractual periods. Revenue for contingent collection services and overpayment identification and recovery services is recognized in the month collection payments are received based upon a percentage of cash collected or other agreed upon contractual parameters. Revenue for telephony / interconnect services is recognized in the period the service is provided and when collection is reasonably assured. These telephony / interconnect services are primarily comprised of switched access charges for toll-free origination services, which are paid primarily by interexchange carriers.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents – We consider short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less at acquisition to be cash equivalents.

Trust and Restricted Cash

Trust and Restricted Cash – Trust cash represents cash collected on behalf of our clients that has not yet been remitted to them. A related liability is recorded in accounts payable until settlement with the respective clients. Restricted cash primarily represents cash held as collateral for certain letters of credit.

Foreign Currency and Translation of Foreign Subsidiaries

Foreign Currency and Translation of Foreign Subsidiaries – The functional currencies of our foreign operations are the respective local currencies. All assets and liabilities of our foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at fiscal period-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the fiscal period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of stockholders’ deficit and comprehensive income. Foreign currency transaction gains or losses are recorded in the statement of operations.

Subsequent Events

Subsequent Events – In accordance with the provisions of ASC 855, we have evaluated subsequent events. No subsequent events requiring recognition were identified and therefore none were incorporated into the condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements – In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (ASU 2012-02), allowing entities the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. If the qualitative assessment indicates it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required. Otherwise, no testing is required. ASU 2012-02 became effective for the Company January 1, 2013 and the adoption did not have an effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)(ASU 2013-02), which adds additional disclosure requirements for items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. ASU 2013-02 became effective for the Company January 1, 2013 and the adoption did not have an effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Business Combinations [Abstract]

ACQUISITION

2. ACQUISITION

On March 23, 2012, we completed the acquisition of HyperCube, a provider of switching services to telecommunications carriers throughout the United States. HyperCube exchanges or interconnects communications traffic to all types of carriers, including wireless, wire-line, cable telephony and VoIP companies. The purchase price was $77.9 million and was funded by cash on hand and partial use of our asset securitization financing facility.

Factors that contributed to a purchase price resulting in the recognition of goodwill, partially deductible for tax purposes, for the purchase of HyperCube included the synergy related to telecommunication transport costs and new products and services related to IP and mobile communications.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date for HyperCube. The finite lived intangible assets are comprised of trade names, technology, non-competition agreements and customer relationships.

Net assets acquired	$	77,906

Pro forma

Assuming the acquisition of HyperCube occurred as of the beginning of the period presented, our unaudited pro forma results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2012 would have been, in thousands (except per share amount), as follows:

Revenue	$	1,317,333
Net Income	$	70,685
Earnings per common share—basic	$	1.15
Earnings per common share—diluted	$	1.11

The pro forma results above are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have actually occurred if the acquisition had been in effect on the date indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of future results of the combined company.

Acquisition costs for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Acquisition costs for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $0.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

On February 20, 2013, the Company, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as administrative agent, and the various lenders party thereto modified our senior secured credit facilities (“Senior Secured Credit Facilities”) by entering into Amendment No. 3 to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”), amending our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 5, 2010, by and among West, Wells Fargo, as administrative agent, and the various lenders party thereto, as lenders (as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of August 15, 2012, Amendment No. 2 to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 24, 2012, and the Third Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”).

The Third Amendment provided for a reduction in the applicable margins and interest rate floors of all term loans, extended the maturity of a portion of the term loans due July 2016 to June 2018 and added a further step down to the applicable margins of all term loans upon satisfaction of certain conditions. As of the effective date of the Third Amendment, we had outstanding the following senior secured term loans:

• Term loans in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $2.1 billion (the “2018 Maturity Term Loans”). The 2018 Maturity Term Loans will mature on June 30, 2018, and the interest rate margins applicable to the 2018 Maturity Term Loans were 3.25%, for LIBOR rate loans, and 2.25%, for base rate loans; and

• Term loans in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $317.7 million ($316.1 million at June 30, 2013) (the “2016 Maturity Term Loans”; and, together with the 2018 Maturity Term Loans, the “Term Loans”). The 2016 Maturity Term Loans will mature on July 15, 2016, and the interest rate margins applicable to the 2016 Maturity Term Loans were 2.75%, for LIBOR rate loans, and 1.75%, for base rate loans.

The Amended Credit Agreement also provided for interest rate floors applicable to the Term Loans. The interest rate floors are 1.00%, for LIBOR rate loans, and 2.00%, for base rate loans. The Term Loans are subject to an additional step down to the applicable margins by 0.50% conditioned upon completion of our IPO and attaining and maintaining a total leverage ratio less than or equal to 4.75:1.00, which conditions were satisfied as of April 30, 2013 and continue to apply as of June 30, 2013.

The Amended Credit Agreement also provided for a soft call option applicable to the Term Loans. The soft call option provides for a premium equal to 1.0% of the amount of the repricing payment, in the event that, on or prior to the six month anniversary of the effective date of the Third Amendment, West or the subsidiary borrowers enter into certain repricing transactions.

In connection with the Third Amendment, we incurred refinancing expenses of approximately $24.2 million for the soft-call premium paid to holders of term loans outstanding prior to the effectiveness of the Third Amendment and $6.0 million for other fees and expenses. These costs were capitalized as deferred financing costs and will be amortized over the life of the Amended Credit Agreement.

Effective as of April 30, 2013, we certified that our total leverage ratio was less than 4.75:1.00 and, in accordance with the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, the interest rate margins applicable to the 2018 Maturity Term Loans were reduced by 0.50% to 2.75% for LIBOR rate loans and 1.75% for base rate loans, and the interest rate margins applicable to the 2016 Maturity Term Loans were reduced by 0.50% to 2.25% for LIBOR rate loans and 1.25% for base rate loans. The reduced interest rate margins are subject to a 0.50% increase in the event our leverage ratio as of the end of our quarterly reporting period exceeds 4.75:1:00.

On April 26, 2013, we redeemed the entire outstanding $450.0 million principal amount of our 11% Senior Subordinated Notes (“Senior Subordinated Notes”). The redemption price was 103.667% of the principal amount of the Senior Subordinated Notes. In addition, we paid accrued and unpaid interest on the redeemed Senior Subordinated Notes up to, but not including, the Redemption Date. Following this redemption, none of the Senior Subordinated Notes remained outstanding. We recorded the $16.5 million subordinated debt call premium in other non-operating expense. Upon completion of the redemption, we recorded other non-operating expense of $6.6 million for the remaining amortization of the balance of deferred financing costs associated with the Senior Subordinated Notes.

At June 30, 2013, we were in compliance with our debt covenants.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

ORGANIZATION, CONSOLIDATION AND PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION, CONSOLIDATION AND PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Business Description: West Corporation (the “Company” or “West”) is a leading provider of technology-driven communication services. “We,” “us” and “our” also refer to West and its consolidated subsidiaries, as applicable. We offer a broad portfolio of services, including conferencing and collaboration, unified communications, alerts and notifications, emergency communications, business process outsourcing and telephony / interconnect services. The scale and processing capacity of our proprietary technology platforms, combined with our expertise in managing voice and data transactions, enable us to provide reliable, high-quality, mission-critical communications designed to maximize return on investment for our clients. Our clients include Fortune 1000 companies, along with small and medium enterprises in a variety of industries, including telecommunications, retail, financial services, public safety, technology and healthcare. We have sales and operations in the United States, Canada, Europe, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and South America.

We operate in two business segments:

• Unified Communications, including conferencing and collaboration, event services, Internet Protocol (“IP”)-based unified communications solutions, and alerts and notifications; and

• Communication Services, including emergency communications, automated call processing, telephony / interconnect services and agent-based services.

Unified Communications

• Conferencing & Collaboration. Operating under the InterCall^® brand, we are the largest conferencing services provider in the world based on conferencing revenue, according to Wainhouse Research. We managed approximately 134 million conference calls in 2012, an 11% increase over 2011. We provide our clients with an integrated global suite of meeting services.

• Event Services. InterCall offers multimedia platforms designed to give our clients the ability to create, manage, distribute and reuse content internally and externally. Through a combination of proprietary products and strategic partnerships, our clients have the tools to support all of their internal and external multimedia requirements.

• IP-Based Unified Communications Solutions. We provide our clients with enterprise class IP-based communications solutions enabled by our technology. We offer hosted IP-private branch exchange and enterprise call management, hosted and managed multi-protocol label switching network solutions, unified communications partner solution portfolio services, cloud-based security services, integrated conferencing/desktop messaging and presence tools, and professional services and systems integration expertise.

• Alerts & Notifications. Our technology platforms allow clients to manage and deliver automated, proactive and personalized communications. We use multiple delivery channels (voice, text messaging, email, social media and fax), based on the preference of the recipient. For example, we deliver patient notifications and send and confirm appointments and prescription reminders on behalf of our healthcare clients; send and receive automated outage notifications on behalf of our utility clients; and transmit emergency evacuation notices on behalf of municipalities.

Communication Services

• Emergency Communications. We believe we are one of the largest providers of emergency communications services, based on the number of 9-1-1 calls that we and other participants in the industry facilitate. Our services are critical in facilitating public safety agencies’ ability to receive emergency calls from citizens. Our clients generally enter into long-term contracts and fund their obligations through monthly charges on users’ telephone bills.

• Automated Call Processing. We believe we have developed a best-in-class automated customer service platform. Our services allow our clients to effectively communicate with their customers through inbound and outbound interactive voice response applications using natural language speech recognition, automated voice prompts and network-based call routing services. In addition to these front-end customer service applications, we also provide analyses that help our clients improve their automated communications strategy. Our open standards-based platform allows the flexibility to integrate new capabilities, such as mobility, social media and cloud-based services.

• Telephony / Interconnect Services. Our telephony / interconnect services support the merging of traditional telecom, mobile and IP technologies to service providers and enterprises. We are a leading provider of local and national tandem switching services to carriers throughout the United States. We leverage our proprietary customer traffic information system, sophisticated call routing and control facility to provide tandem interconnection services to the competitive marketplace, including wireless, wire-line, cable telephony and Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) companies. We entered this market through the acquisition of HyperCube, LLC (“HyperCube”) in March 2012.

• Agent-Based Services. We provide our clients with large-scale, agent-based services. We target opportunities that allow our agent-based services to be a part of larger strategic client engagements and with clients for whom these services can add value. We believe that we are known in the industry as a premium provider of these services. We offer a flexible model that includes on-shore, off-shore and virtual home-based agent capabilities to fit our clients’ needs.

Basis of Consolidation – The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of West and our wholly-owned subsidiaries and reflect all adjustments (all of which are normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results, and cash flows for the interim periods. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Our results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of what our results will be for other interim periods or for the full fiscal year.

Reverse Stock Split – On March 8, 2013, we completed a 1-for-8 reverse stock split and amended our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation by filing an amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State. We also adjusted the share amounts under our executive incentive plan and nonqualified deferred compensation plan as a result of the 1-for-8 reverse stock split. All numbers of common shares and per common share data in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split and the changes to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company.

Initial Public Offering – On March 27, 2013, we completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) of 21,275,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share.

Dividend – Subject to legally available funds, we intend to pay a quarterly cash dividend. We anticipate funding our dividend with cash generated by our operations. The declaration and payment of all future dividends, if any, will be at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors. On May 16, 2013, we paid a $0.225 per common share quarterly dividend. The total dividend was $18.8 million paid to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 6, 2013. In August 2012, a special dividend and dividend equivalent was declared. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, dividends and dividend equivalents of $0.2 million were paid on options and restricted stock that vested during this period and were subject to the special dividend. Approximately $0.2 million of the special dividend equivalent remains accrued at June 30, 2013 and will be paid as the stock options vest over the next two and one-half years.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition – In our Unified Communications segment, conferencing and event services are generally billed and revenue recognized on a per participant minute basis. Web services are generally billed and revenue recognized on a per participant minute basis or, in the case of operating license arrangements, generally billed in advance and revenue recognized ratably over the service life period, IP-based services are generally billed and revenue recognized on a per seat basis and alerts and notifications are generally billed, and revenue recognized, on a per message or per minute basis. We also charge clients for additional features, such as conference call recording, transcription services or professional services.

Our Communication Services segment recognizes revenue for platform-based and agent-based services in the month that services are performed and services are generally billed based on call duration, hours of input, number of calls or a contingent basis. Emergency communications revenue within the Communication Services segment is generated primarily from monthly fees based on the number of billing telephone numbers and cell towers covered under contract. In addition, product sales and installations are generally recognized upon completion of the installation and client acceptance of a fully functional system or, for contracts that are completed in stages, recognized upon completion of such stages. Contracts for annual recurring services such as support and maintenance agreements are generally billed in advance and are recognized as revenue ratably (on a monthly basis) over the contractual periods. Revenue for contingent collection services and overpayment identification and recovery services is recognized in the month collection payments are received based upon a percentage of cash collected or other agreed upon contractual parameters. Revenue for telephony / interconnect services is recognized in the period the service is provided and when collection is reasonably assured. These telephony / interconnect services are primarily comprised of switched access charges for toll-free origination services, which are paid primarily by interexchange carriers.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – We consider short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less at acquisition to be cash equivalents.

Trust and Restricted Cash – Trust cash represents cash collected on behalf of our clients that has not yet been remitted to them. A related liability is recorded in accounts payable until settlement with the respective clients. Restricted cash primarily represents cash held as collateral for certain letters of credit.

Foreign Currency and Translation of Foreign Subsidiaries – The functional currencies of our foreign operations are the respective local currencies. All assets and liabilities of our foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at fiscal period-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the fiscal period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of stockholders’ deficit and comprehensive income. Foreign currency transaction gains or losses are recorded in the statement of operations.

Subsequent Events – In accordance with the provisions of ASC 855, we have evaluated subsequent events. No subsequent events requiring recognition were identified and therefore none were incorporated into the condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements – In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (ASU 2012-02), allowing entities the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. If the qualitative assessment indicates it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required. Otherwise, no testing is required. ASU 2012-02 became effective for the Company January 1, 2013 and the adoption did not have an effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)(ASU 2013-02), which adds additional disclosure requirements for items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. ASU 2013-02 became effective for the Company January 1, 2013 and the adoption did not have an effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Compensation And Retirement Disclosure [Abstract]

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock options granted under the West Corporation 2006 Executive Incentive Plan (“2006 EIP”) prior to 2012 become exercisable over a period of five years, with 20% of the stock option becoming exercisable on each of the first through fifth anniversaries of the grant date. During 2012, a form of option certificate was adopted such that the 2012 grants become exercisable over a period of four years, with 25% of the stock option becoming exercisable on each of the first through fourth anniversaries of the grant date. Once an option has vested, it generally remains exercisable until the tenth anniversary of the grant date so long as the participant continues to provide services to the Company.

On August 15, 2012, our Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend of $8.00 per share to be paid to stockholders of record as of August 15, 2012. In addition, the Board of Directors authorized equivalent cash payments and/or adjustments to holders of outstanding stock options to reflect the payment of such dividend as required by the terms of our incentive plans. In addition, in connection with such payment, our Board of Directors accelerated the vesting of certain stock options that were granted in 2012 and scheduled to vest in 2013. The stock-based compensation recorded as a result of the accelerated vesting was $6.8 million. For options granted in 2012 and scheduled to vest in 2014 through 2016, no dividend equivalent was paid but the option exercise price was reduced by $8.00 to $25.52. Options granted prior to 2012 and options granted in 2012 originally scheduled to vest in 2013 participated in the dividend equivalent payment with no modification to the option exercise price. In conjunction with the refinancing and dividend, an appraisal of the Company was performed by Corporate Valuation Advisors, Inc., and approved by management and the Board of Directors, of the fair market value of each respective stock option grant and the underlying share of common stock both before and immediately after the dividend and refinancing. An additional $1.5 million stock-based compensation charge was recorded on option grants where the fair market value of the option and dividend equivalent paid, if any, exceeded the fair market value of the option before dividend and refinancing.

2006 Executive Incentive Plan—Stock Options

The following table presents the stock option activity under the 2006 EIP for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2013, respectively:

				Options Outstanding
	Options						Weighted

Balance at June 30, 2013		813,167			2,882,694		$	27.52

At June 30, 2013, we expect that approximately 72% of options granted will vest over the vesting period. At June 30, 2013, the intrinsic value of vested options with an exercise price below the closing market price was approximately $1.5 million.

The following table summarizes the information on the options granted under the 2006 EIP at June 30, 2013:

The executive rollover options are fully vested.

The following table summarizes the outstanding and exercisable information on executive management rollover options granted under the 2006 EIP at June 30, 2013:

Outstanding and Exercisable
Number of Options	Average Remaining Contractual Life (years)		Weighted Average Exercise Price
139,611		1.1	$	5.47

The aggregate intrinsic value of these options at June 30, 2013 was approximately $2.3 million.

We account for the stock option grants under the 2006 EIP in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. The fair value of option awards granted under the 2006 EIP during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $9.04 and $12.24, respectively. The fair value of the option awards on which vesting was accelerated in 2012 was $5.92. The fair value of the option awards on which the exercise price was reduced by the amount of the $8.00 dividend in 2012, was $8.96. We estimated the fair value of 2006 EIP option awards on the grant date using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table:

	Six months ended June 30,
	2013			2012 Initial grant			2012 Accelerated Vesting			2012 Reduced Exercise Price
Risk-free interest rate		1.09	%		1.35	%		0.63	%		0.86	%
Dividend yield		0.0	%		0.0	%		0.0	%		0.0	%
Expected volatility		34.5	%		34.7	%		36.9	%		35.1	%
Expected life (years)		6.25			6.3			4.83			6.15

The risk-free interest rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the zero-coupon U.S. government treasury strip with a maturity which approximates the expected life of the option at the time of grant.

There was approximately $12.8 million and $24.5 million of unrecorded and unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options under the 2006 EIP at June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which will be recognized over the remaining vesting period of approximately three and one-half years.

The options awarded in 2013 were made under the 2006 EIP and prior to a decision to pay quarterly dividends. No further grants or awards are expected to be made under the 2006 EIP.

Restricted Stock

In connection with our recently completed IPO, our compensation committee accelerated the vesting of all remaining unvested shares subject to the restricted stock award and special bonus agreements and restricted stock award agreements entered into pursuant to the 2006 EIP. The acceleration resulted in the vesting of an aggregate of 42,562 shares of common stock. As a result of the accelerated vesting, $1.2 million of stock-based compensation was recognized in SG&A during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan

Prior to the completion of our IPO, we adopted the 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) which is intended to provide our officers, employees, non-employee directors and consultants with added incentive to remain employed by or perform services for us and align such individuals’ interests with those of our stockholders. Under the terms of the LTIP, 8,500,000 shares of common stock will be available for awards granted under the LTIP, subject to adjustment for stock splits and other similar changes in capitalization. The number of available shares will be reduced by the aggregate number of shares that become subject to outstanding awards granted under the LTIP. To the extent that shares subject to an outstanding award granted under the LTIP are not issued or delivered by reason of the expiration, termination, cancellation or forfeiture of such award or by reason of the settlement of such award in cash, then such shares will again be available under the LTIP.

Upon consummation of our IPO, we paid each of our non-employee directors who are not affiliated with our Sponsors fully vested 5,000 shares of common stock. The stock awards are subject to pro rata forfeiture if the director does not remain on the board for at least six months.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

For the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, stock-based compensation expense was $1.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, stock-based compensation expense was $5.0 million and $2.6 million, respectively.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

EARNINGS PER SHARE

9. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could result if options or other contingently issuable shares were exercised or converted into common stock and notional shares from the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan were granted. Diluted earnings per common share assumes the exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method.

	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
(In thousands, except per share amounts)	2013		2012		2013		2012
Earnings Per Common Share:
Basic	$	0.52	$	0.60	$	0.63	$	1.15
Diluted	$	0.51	$	0.58	$	0.62	$	1.11
Weighted Average Number of Shares Outstanding:
Basic—Common		83,524		61,384		73,716		61,345
Dilutive Impact of Stock Options:
Common Shares		1,419		2,181		1,435		2,180
Diluted Common Shares		84,943		63,565		75,151		63,525

Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares result from the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options, by application of the treasury stock method that have a dilutive effect on earnings per share. At June 30, 2013 and 2012, 2,718,599 and 2,673,500 stock options were outstanding with an exercise price equal to or exceeding the market value of our common stock, such shares that were therefore excluded from the computation of shares contingently issuable upon exercise of the options.
