CONVERGYS CORPORATION EARNS $0.31

ON SLIGHTLY HIGHER REVENUE

 

IN THE THIRD QUARTER:

 

· Revenue increased 2 percent to $570.7 million versus one year ago.
· Operating income decreased to $74.2 million versus $89.8 million last year.

(Cincinnati; October 21, 2003)—Convergys Corporation (NYSE: CVG), the global leader in integrated billing, employee care, and customer care services, announced today its financial results for the third quarter of 2003.

 

Total revenues increased 2 percent to $570.7 million compared to $561.2 million reported in the third quarter of 2002. Operating income decreased 17 percent to $74.2 million from $89.8 million as operating margin declined to 13.0 percent from 16.0 percent in the prior year. The company’s cellular partnership investment contributed pre-tax earnings of $0.2 million, down from $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2002. Interest expense decreased to $1.8 million from $3.1 million in the prior year, partially offsetting the decline in operating income. Net income was $45.5, down 18 percent from $55.6 million in the third quarter of 2002, while earnings per diluted share decreased 9 percent to $0.31 from $0.34. Average diluted shares outstanding decreased by 18.5 million shares to 145.2 million. Convergys repurchased approximately 250,000 shares during the quarter.

 

For the first three-quarters of 2003, revenues of $1.69 billion were down 2 percent versus prior year. Operating income decreased to $213.7 million versus $282.8 million in 2002. Including the first quarter 2003 equity loss of $9.9 million resulting from a legal settlement by the cellular partnership, the company’s cellular partnership generated a pre-tax loss of $11.0 million compared to pre-tax earnings of $4.9 million in the first nine months of 2002. GAAP net income was $123.2 or $0.82 per diluted share versus $174.3 or $1.03 per diluted share in the prior year. Excluding the loss resulting from the cellular partnership settlement, Convergys’ pro forma diluted EPS decreased to $0.86. Average diluted shares outstanding decreased by 19.0 million shares to 150.0 million. Convergys repurchased approximately 13.6 million shares during the first nine months of 2003.

 

“The third quarter reflects a continuation of the business trends we spoke about in our first and second quarter conference calls. The business environment for our Information Management Group remains challenging in North America. Convergys

remains aggressive in the pursuit of new business with focused sales efforts, leading software products like Infinys, and an expanded geographic presence. Solid top-line growth in Convergys’ Customer Management and Employee Care businesses is partially helping to offset these challenging conditions,” said Jim Orr, Chairman, President, and CEO of Convergys. “In the customer service market, today’s economy has become a catalyst for companies seeking greater efficiencies to outsource larger pieces of their customer service operations. In the human resource market, the trend to outsource HR administrative services continues to grow as companies look for comprehensive solutions to improve their HR processes, deliver enhanced HR systems, gain better access to information for both employees and managers, and reduce their costs. Accordingly, given these trends, we remain optimistic about the current business conditions in our Customer Management and Employee Care businesses.”

Additionally, Convergys will help support Yahoo!’s e-mail and inbound calls.

 

Convergys announced an outsourcing contract to provide the interactive voice response (IVR) system for Monster Government Solutions’ new project with the U.S. government.

(NYSE: CHU), the second-largest wireless carrier in China, and one of the largest wireless carriers in the world. China Unicom has 61.7 million cellular service subscribers.

Servei de Telecomunicacions d’Andorra (STA), the national carrier of Andorra, has selected Convergys’ Infinys[tm] rating and billing component, Geneva [tm], to support its entire business including wireline, wireless, and IP, and to achieve greater convergence across its comprehensive service portfolio.

Honors

Technology

 

To help carriers ensure they’re fully prepared for the arrival of WNP, Convergys has developed a comprehensive care program to address pending service, retention, and acquisition challenges resulting from wireless number portability. It is designed to convince customers not to switch providers or to ensure the change goes smoothly. Intended primarily for Tier I and Tier II carriers serving the top 100 U.S. metropolitan service areas, the Convergys program consists of Basic Care, Technical Care, and Smart Care components. Specific Convergys services range from answering questions about WNP to delivering number porting-related technical support and providing knowledge management services and providing upgrades to its wireless solutions that support number portability.

 

October 2003 Highlights to Date

 

There have been two additional announcements concerning the Infinys business support system so far this month:

 

Convergys announced it has signed a 5-year renewal and expansion of its billing software license agreement with Cox Communications, Inc. (NYSE: COX), a leading national provider of broadband communications services. Not only did Cox renew its license for Convergys’ ICOMS convergent voice, video, and high-speed data billing and subscriber management solution, it expanded its billing

software agreement to license Infinys[tm], Convergys’ recently announced convergent business support system.

 

Convergys announced it has joined with Intel (NASDAQ: INTC), a recognized global leader in the Wi-Fi market space, to make available a Convergys Infinys[tm] solution to manage the complexities of Wi-Fi roaming, partner management, and convergent billing for mainstream mobile and fixed service operators. This Infinys solution—which joins Infinys for wireline carriers announced in June—enables partner care and settlement for digital content providers and venue hosts, as well as inter-carrier settlement among wireless Internet service providers (WISPs) that manage service for individual Wi-Fi “hotspots” (i.e., public Internet access points like retail outlets, hotels, airports, etc.)

 

For Employee Care, Convergys announced a five-year contract to provide human resources and payroll administration services to Fifth Third Bancorp (NASDAQ: FITB), a leading diversified financial services company with approximately 20,000 employees and $89 billion in assets. Convergys will also provide compensation administration, performance management support, knowledge management services, benefits administration, time and attendance management, recruitment technology, and a comprehensive self-service, user-friendly Web portal.

 

Convergys announced enhanced capability to simplify and accelerate the development of advanced speech recognition (ASR) applications using industry-leading VoiceXML software tools. Convergys will apply these tools to reduce client development costs, speed time-to-market for new automated customer care systems, and create application components for reuse across its own outsourced SpeechPort platform. As a result of this effort, Convergys and its Solutions “Challenge” ally Audium, a leading developer of VoiceXML server and application software, won the People’s Choice Award recognizing the winner of the first Speech Solutions Challenge, at SpeechTEK 2003.

 

Convergys opened two state-of-the-art contact centers in the Philippines and announced plans to open a third in 2004. Located in Metro Manila’s suburbs Makati and Pasig City, the integrated contact centers provide both customer care support and advanced technical help desk services via e-mail, voice, and Web chat as well as “back office” application and document processing.

 

Orr continued, “I want to reiterate Convergys continuing strategy of delivering superior value to our clients. Just as Convergys is continuing to drive costs down by being very cost-effective ourselves, I believe the current economy is prompting companies to search for the most cost-effective method of delivering quality service to their customers, and that search is accelerating the movement toward outsourcing. But whether our clients choose fully-outsourced services, licenses, or our unique build-operate-transfer business model, Convergys is well-positioned to take advantage of the market demands, and this adds significantly to our growth potential.”

Operating Performance by Segment

 

Information Management Group (IMG)

 

Excluding intercompany sales, third quarter 2003 Convergys IMG revenues decreased 16 percent to $188.9 million, from $224.6 million in the same period last year. Compared to the second quarter of 2003, revenues decreased by only 3 percent. Data processing revenues decreased 19 percent to $109.3 million from $135.5 million, representing an 8 percent year-over-year decrease in wireless subscribers processed and lower average per-wireless-subscriber processing rates. The decrease in wireless subscribers resulted from conversions off Convergys systems, partially offset by slight subscriber growth among Convergys’ other wireless clients.

 

Professional and consulting revenues decreased 33 percent to $25.0 million from $37.1 million reflecting a reduction in system enhancement requests and implementations of new systems from Convergys’ cable and wireless clients. License and other revenues decreased 28 percent to $12.9 million as a result of a large up-front license recognized in the prior year in connection with the expansion of a license arrangement with one of Convergys’ largest cable clients. On a positive note, international revenues increased 22 percent to $41.7 reflecting combined revenue growth of approximately $10 million resulting from Convergys’ expansion in the Asia Pacific and Latin American markets. This was partially offset by lower revenues resulting from the suspension of Orange France’s 3G implementation.

 

Convergys IMG third quarter operating income decreased 38 percent to $29.0 million from $46.4 million. Operating margin was 15.4 percent compared with 20.7 percent from the third quarter of last year reflecting lower revenues and higher benefit costs, partially offset by savings realized through the restructuring initiatives that Convergys began in the fourth quarter of 2002.

 

Customer Management Group

 

Convergys CMG revenues were $381.8 million, a 13 percent increase compared to $336.6 million in the third quarter of 2002, primarily reflecting increased levels of business with many of Convergys’ top 20 clients as well as revenues resulting from customer care services provided to the United States Postal Service and employee care services provided to the State of Florida. Compared to the second quarter of 2003, revenues increased 4 percent.

 

Convergys CMG third quarter operating income increased 5 percent to $46.3 million compared to $44.1 million in the prior year, while it reported a 12.1 percent operating margin in the third quarter of 2003, down from the 13.1 percent reported in the third quarter of 2002. This reflects increases in wage and benefit costs as well as increased investment in the Employee Care business, partially offset by the increase in revenues.
