“We delivered our sixth consecutive quarter of revenue growth and profit improvement,” said Andrea Ayers, incoming president and CEO. “As a well capitalized market-leader in customer management, we are in a unique position to invest in what matters most to our clients. We are executing on our growth strategy and have raised our earnings guidance for the full year.”

Incoming executive chairman Jeff Fox said, “I congratulate Andrea on her new role as CEO, and continue to be encouraged by the strong performance of our team. Based on our confidence in the business and commitment to disciplined capital deployment, we paid a five-cent dividend and repurchased $57 million of our stock in the third quarter.”

Operating Income – Operating income from continuing operations was $39 million, a 14 percent increase compared with $34 million adjusted operating income from continuing operations in the same period last year.

Customer Management operating income was $44 million, up 13 percent compared with $39 million in the same period last year. Customer Management operating margin was 8.8 percent, up 90 basis points compared with 7.9 percent in the same period last year.

EBITDA –Total company EBITDA was $61 million, compared with $56 million adjusted EBITDA in the same period last year. Prior year adjusted EBITDA excludes $6 million Information Management-related costs as well as the $265 million pre-tax gain on the sale of our interests in the Cellular Partnerships. Customer Management EBITDA was $63 million, up 13 percent compared with $56 million in the same period last year.

Tax Rate – The effective tax rate was 18 percent in the third quarter. On an adjusted basis, the effective tax rate for the full year is expected to be approximately 23 percent.

2012 Business Outlook – Continuing Operations

Convergys expects improved results from continuing operations for the full year 2012 compared with prior guidance, including:


CONFIDENTIAL    10/29/12
Page 3 of 5    12:00 PM

 

 

   

Customer Management revenue of $1.985 to $2 billion, tightened from prior guidance of $1.975 to $2 billion;

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA of $235 to $239 million, improving from prior guidance of adjusted EBITDA of $225 to $232 million; and

 

   

Adjusted EPS of $0.89 to $0.92, improving from prior guidance of $0.80 to $0.85.

Not included in this guidance is the impact of any future strategic acquisitions or additional share repurchase activities. Also not included in this guidance are results classified within discontinued operations, including the impact of the sale of the Information Management business as well as other costs that may be incurred related to, or as a result of, the transaction. Costs that may be incurred as a result of the transaction include an expected fourth quarter pension settlement charge resulting from the sale.

To provide a relevant comparison of 2012 guidance for results from continuing operations with prior year 2011 underlying performance, a table is attached that reconciles 2011 GAAP to 2011 non-GAAP operating income, net income from continuing operations, earnings from continuing operations per share and adjusted EBITDA, excluding results from discontinued operations, equity earnings from the Cellular Partnerships, the impacts of the Cellular Partnerships and Finance and Accounting asset sales, Information Management-related costs included in continuing operations and certain other tax items.

Forward-Looking Statements Disclosure and “Safe Harbor” Note

This news release contains statements, estimates, or projections that constitute “forward-looking statements” as defined under U.S. federal securities laws. In some cases, one can identify forward looking statements by terminology such as “will,” “expect,” “estimate,” “think,” “forecast,” “guidance, “outlook,” “plan,” “lead,” “project” or other comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections. These risks include, but are not limited to: (i) the loss of a significant client or significant business from a client; (ii) the future financial performance of major industries that we serve; (iii) our inability to protect personally identifiable data against unauthorized access or unintended release; (iv) our inability to maintain and upgrade our technology and network equipment in a timely manner; (v) international business and political risks, including economic weakness and operational disruption as a result of natural events, political unrest, war, terrorist attacks or other civil disruption; (vi) the failure to meet expectations regarding the accounting and tax treatments of the Information Management transaction; (vii) higher than expected costs of replacing services provided by the Information Management business to the rest of Convergys’ businesses; (viii) higher than expected costs of providing transition services and other support to the Information Management business and (ix) those factors contained in our periodic reports filed with the SEC, including in the “Risk Factors” section of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This news release contains non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation G; pursuant to the requirements of this regulation, reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their comparable GAAP measures are included in the attached financial tables. To assess the underlying operational performance of the continuing operations of the business for the quarter and to have a basis to compare underlying operating results to prior and future periods, management uses 2012 operating income, net income from continuing operations and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations metrics excluding asset impairment charges, corporate restructuring costs, certain Information Management-related costs that did not meet the criteria for presentation as discontinued operations, interest expense for debt reduction and net post-employment benefit plan credits, and third-quarter and year to date 2011 operating income excluding the Information Management-related costs as well as net income from continuing operations and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations also excluding contributions from the company’s investments in the Cellular Partnerships, including the gain on the sale of our interests in these investments and excluding the gain on the sale of the Finance and Accounting Outsourcing line of business.

These charges are relevant in evaluating the overall performance of the business. Limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP measures include that these measures do not include all of the amounts associated with our results as determined in accordance with GAAP. Management compensates for these limitations by using the non-GAAP measures, operating income, income from continuing operations, net of tax and diluted earnings per share excluding the items above, and the GAAP measures, operating income, income from continuing operations, net of tax and diluted earnings per share, in its evaluation of performance. There is no material purpose for which we use these non-GAAP measures beyond those described above.

The company presents the non-GAAP financial measures EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because management uses these measures to monitor and evaluate the performance of the business and believes the presentation of these measures will enhance the investors’ ability to analyze trends in the business and evaluate the company’s underlying performance relative to other companies in the industry.

Management uses free cash flow to assess the financial performance of the company. Convergys’ management believes that free cash flow is useful to investors because it relates the operating cash flow of the company to the capital that is spent to continue and improve business operations, such as investment in the company’s existing businesses. Further, free cash flow facilitates management’s ability to strengthen the company’s balance sheet, to repurchase the company’s stock, and to repay the company’s debt obligations. Management also believes the presentation of this measure will enhance the investors’ ability to analyze trends in the business and evaluate the company’s underlying performance relative to other companies in the industry. Limitations associated with the use of free cash flow include that it does not


CONFIDENTIAL    10/29/12
Page 5 of 5    12:00 PM

 

represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures as it does not incorporate certain cash payments including payments made on capital lease obligations or cash payments for business acquisitions. Management compensates for these limitations by using both the non-GAAP measure, free cash flow, and the GAAP measure, cash from operating activities, in its evaluation of performance. There is no material purpose for which we use these non-GAAP measures beyond the purposes described above.

These non-GAAP measures should be considered supplemental in nature and should not be considered in isolation or be construed as being more important than comparable GAAP measures. The non-GAAP financial information that we provide may be different from that provided by our competitors or other companies.

(a) In March 2012, the Company signed a definitive agreement to sell the Information Management business and the sale substantially closed in May 2012. The results of operations of this business met the criteria for presentation as discontinued operations and therefore are presented on this basis for all periods presented. Certain costs previously allocated to the Information Management business do not qualify for discontinued operations accounting treatment and are required to be reported as costs within continuing operations. The Company classified $6.3 of these costs which previously would have been presented within the Information Management segment within continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2011.
(b) In July 2011, Convergys completed the sale of its 33.8% interest in the Cincinnati SMSA Limited Partnership and its 45.0% interest in Cincinnati SMSA Tower Holdings LLC (together the Cellular Partnerships) for $320. The Company recognized a pre-tax gain on the sale of these investments of $265 in the third quarter of 2011.

Management uses operating income, income from continuing operations, net of tax and earnings per share from continuing operations excluding the above items to assess the underlying operational performance of the continuing operations of the business for the year and to have a basis to compare underlying operating results to prior and future periods. These charges and credits are relevant in evaluating the overall performance of the business.

Limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP measures include that these measures do not include all of the amounts associated with our results as determined in accordance with GAAP. Management compensates for these limitations by using the non-GAAP measures, operating income, income from continuing operations, net of tax and diluted earnings per share excluding the charges, and the GAAP measures, operating income, income from continuing operations, net of tax and diluted earnings per share, in its evaluation of performance. There are no material purposes for which we use these non-GAAP measures beyond those described above.

(a) The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 include $6.4 of restructuring charges within Corporate and Other to reflect the change in our executive team and to reflect the impact of the sale of the Information Management business.
(b) During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $46.0 for the goodwill of the Customer Interaction Technology reporting unit. In addition, as the result of a decision to monetize certain real estate assets, these assets were reclassified to Held for Sale and the Company recorded an impairment charge of $42.6 to reduce the carrying value to estimated fair value less cost to sell.
(c) During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded net pension and other post employment benefit plan curtailment benefit of $2.7, including $4.1 of curtailment credits from pension and other post employment benefits plans and $1.4 of post-retirement benefits costs related to changes in the executive management team.
(d) In March 2012, the Company signed a definitive agreement to sell the Information Management business and the sale substantially closed in May 2012. The results of operations met the criteria for presentation as discontinued operations and therefore are presented on this basis for all periods presented. Certain costs previously allocated to the Information Management segment do not qualify for discontinued operations accounting treatment and are required to be reported as costs within continuing operations. The Company classified $8.8 and $17.8 of these costs which previously would have been presented within the Information Management segment within continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
(e) In the first quarter of 2011, the Company completed the sale of the Finance and Accounting outsourcing line of business for approximately $10, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $7.0 and an after tax gain of $4.3.
(f) In July 2011, Convergys completed the sale of its 33.8% interest in the Cincinnati SMSA Limited Partnership and its 45.0% interest in Cincinnati SMSA Tower Holdings LLC (together the Cellular Partnerships) for $320. The Company recognized a pre-tax gain on the sale of these investments of $265 in the third quarter of 2011. In addition, upon completion of the sale, the Company no longer reports ongoing income from this investment. For comparability, we are excluding the impact of $20.2 of earnings from the investment in the Cellular Partnerships, net of tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
(g) In the second quarter of 2012, the Company exercised its option to purchase its leased office facility in Orlando, Florida by discharging the related lease financing obligation in the aggregate principal amount of $55.0. In connection with the purchase, the Company expensed $1.1 of previously deferred financing fees as interest expense.
(h) Net charges on a per share basis includes an adjustment to Diluted EPS utilizing estimated diluted shares outstanding of 118.5 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. As the Company recorded a loss from continuing operations under U.S. GAAP, shares outstanding utilized to calculate Diluted EPS from continuing operations are equivalent to basic shares outstanding. Shares outstanding utilized to calculate Adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations reflect the number of diluted shares the Company would have reported if reporting net income from continuing operations under U.S. GAAP.

Management uses operating income, income from continuing operations, net of tax and earnings per share data excluding the items above to assess the underlying operational performance of the continuing operations of the business for the year and to have a basis to compare underlying operating results to prior and future periods. These charges and credits are relevant in evaluating the overall performance of the business.

Limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP measures include that these measures do not include all of the amounts associated with our results as determined in accordance with GAAP. Management compensates for these limitations by using the non-GAAP measures, operating income, income from continuing operations, net of tax and diluted earnings per share excluding the charges, and the GAAP measures, operating income, income from continuing operations, net of tax and diluted earnings per share, in its evaluation of performance. There are no material purposes for which we use these non-GAAP measures beyond those described above.

On a segment basis, Operating Income is the most closely related GAAP measure to the non-GAAP measures EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income or other income statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP and our presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. Management uses the non-GAAP measures, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, and the GAAP measure, operating income, in evaluation of the segment's underlying performance. There are no material purposes for which we use these non-GAAP measures beyond the purposes described above. These non-GAAP measures should be considered supplemental in nature and should not be considered in isolation or be construed as being more important than comparable GAAP measures.

Management uses free cash flow to assess the financial performance of the Company. Convergys' Management believes that free cash flow is useful to investors because it relates the operating cash flow of the Company to the capital that is spent to continue and improve business operations, such as investment in the Company’s existing businesses. Further, free cash flow facilitates Management’s ability to strengthen the Company’s balance sheet, to repay the Company’s debt obligations and to repurchase the Company’s common shares. Management also believes the presentation of this measure will enhance the investors' ability to analyze trends in the business and evaluate the Company's underlying performance relative to other companies in the industry.

Limitations associated with the use of free cash flow include that they do not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures as they do not incorporate certain cash payments including payments made on capital lease obligations or cash payments for business acquisitions. Management compensates for these limitations by using both the non-GAAP measure, free cash flow, and the GAAP measure, cash from operating activities, in its evaluation of performance. There are no material purposes for which we use this non-GAAP measure beyond the purposes described above. This non-GAAP measure should be considered supplemental in nature and should not be considered in isolation or be construed as being more important than comparable GAAP measures.
