Convergys Corporation (NYSE: CVG), a global leader in relationship management, today announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2009. Revenue was $765 million, including accelerated recognition of deferred implementation revenue of $106 million from one large HR Management contract. Non-GAAP earnings were $0.27 per diluted share and GAAP net loss was $0.70 per diluted share. Third quarter 2009 non-GAAP operating income increased 32 percent to $41 million from the prior year period, and GAAP operating loss reduced 63 percent to $90 million from the prior year period. During the third quarter, Convergys reached agreement with one large HR Management client to eliminate future implementation obligations and liability for services not yet operational.
"We made progress during the quarter on multiple fronts to improve the position of the company," said David Dougherty, President and CEO of Convergys. "This included successfully renegotiating the contract with one of our large HR Management clients. We have agreed to stop implementation work related to services not yet live. For the other client, implementation remains paused, and we are actively negotiating to change the scope and other terms of the contract. We continue to provide services for more than half the employees of both clients. Over the last few months, we have substantially reduced the risk in the HR Management business."
Dougherty continued, "Substantial new business signings and continued solid margin performance in Customer Management are positive indicators that our strategy is working, though call volumes continued to be soft in the quarter, as expected. In Information Management, our ground-breaking entry into the utilities market for smart-grid customer information systems represents an exciting future growth opportunity."
Third quarter results include charges of $131 million, which consist of net charges of $122 million related to HR Management and restructuring charges of $6 million in Information Management and $3 million in Customer Management. The HR Management-related net charge of $122 million reflects the agreement reached to eliminate future implementation obligations and liability on services not yet operational for one large contract. For this contract, all of the capitalized implementation costs have been written off and a portion of the implementation revenue has been recognized. The HR Management-related net charge of $122 million includes: $106 million reported as revenue representing accelerated recognition of deferred implementation revenues previously received; $148 million reported as cost of providing services and products sold representing previously deferred implementation costs incurred for services not yet operational; $76 million reported as asset impairment primarily related to previously deferred costs pertaining to services already operational that are projected to no longer be profitable; and $4 million of severance costs.
Third Quarter Performance
Revenue - Third quarter 2009 revenue was $765 million, including $106 million of implementation revenue from one large HR Management contract, compared with $676 million in the same period last year.
Operating Income (Loss) - On a non-GAAP basis, third quarter 2009 operating income was $41 million, compared with operating income of $31 million in the same period last year, excluding the third quarter 2009 net charges of $131 million discussed above and charges of $273 million recorded in the same period last year. Third quarter 2009 GAAP operating loss was $90 million, compared with a loss of $242 million in the same period last year.
Net Income (Loss) - On a non-GAAP basis, third quarter 2009 net income was $34 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, compared with net income of $36 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, in the same period last year. Third quarter 2009 GAAP net loss was $86 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, compared with net loss of $140 million, or $1.15 per diluted share, in the same period last year.
Non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP net income exclude the charges described above. A reconciliation table of GAAP to non-GAAP results is attached.
Cash Flow - Third quarter 2009 cash flow from operating activities and free cash flow were $10 million and negative $4 million, respectively, compared with $26 million and $4 million in the same period last year. The Cellular Partnerships provided a $9 million cash distribution in the third quarter 2009, which is not included in free cash flow. In the third quarter 2009, Convergys launched a debt-for-debt exchange to improve liquidity and its debt maturity profile. $123 million of Convergys' Senior Notes were retired in October 2009. Third quarter 2009 cash balance was $336 million.
Customer Management - Third quarter 2009 Customer Management revenue increased 2 percent to $492 million, compared with $483 million in the same period last year. Revenue from the Intervoice [R] acquisition was $42 million in the third quarter 2009 and $14 million in the same period last year due to the September 2008 acquisition. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding $3 million for restructuring charges in the third quarter 2009, operating income was $37 million and operating margin was 7.5 percent, compared with $23 million and 4.8 percent, respectively, in the same period last year. Operating improvement was largely driven by effective workforce management. Third quarter 2009 GAAP operating income and operating margin were $34 million and 6.8 percent, respectively.
Information Management - Information Management revenue in the third quarter 2009 was $99 million compared with $134 million in the same period last year, due to expected client migrations in North America and international project completions. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding $6 million for restructuring charges in the third quarter 2009, operating income was $9 million and operating margin was 9.0 percent, compared with $17 million and 13.0 percent in the same period last year. This was primarily due to the decline in revenue. Third quarter 2009 GAAP operating income was $3 million and operating margin was 3.3 percent.
HR Management - Third quarter 2009 HR Management revenue was $175 million compared with $59 million in the same period last year. This increase reflects accelerated recognition of deferred implementation revenue of $106 million in the third quarter discussed above, and revenue growth due to services already in operation with the two large HR Management clients. On a non-GAAP basis, operating loss was $3 million in the third quarter 2009, compared with a loss of $7 million in the same period last year, excluding the net charge of $122 million discussed above and $273 million of charges recorded in the third quarter of 2008. Third quarter 2009 and 2008 GAAP operating losses were $125 million and $280 million, respectively.
Business Outlook
Convergys is adjusting its financial guidance as follows:
-- Fourth quarter 2009 revenue projected to be $650 million to $670
million.
-- Fourth quarter 2009 non-GAAP earnings projected to be more than $0.30
per diluted share, due in part to an expected favorable tax benefit in
the fourth quarter 2009. Not included in this guidance is potential
restructuring expense to streamline the businesses.
-- Full year 2009 free cash flow projected to be $165 million to $185
million. In addition, full year 2009 cash dividends from the Cellular
Partnerships are expected to approximate $40 million.
Forward-Looking Statements Disclosure and "Safe Harbor" Note:
This news release contains forward-looking statements that reflect Convergys' expectations as of October 27, 2009. Actual results of Convergys could differ materially from those discussed herein. For us, particular uncertainties that could adversely or positively affect our future results include: the behavior of financial markets including fluctuations in interest or exchange rates; continued volatility and further deterioration of the capital markets; the impact of regulation and regulatory, investigative, and legal actions; strategic actions, including acquisitions and dispositions; future integration of acquired businesses; future financial performance of major industries which we serve; the loss of a significant client or significant business from a client; difficulties in completing a contract or implementing its provisions; and numerous other matters of national, regional, and global scale including those of the political, economic, business, and competitive nature. These uncertainties may cause our actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements. Please refer to Convergys' most recent news releases and filings with the SEC for additional information including risk factors. We do not undertake to update our forward-looking statements as a result of new information or future events or developments.
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.
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. Limitations associated with the use of free cash flow include that it does not 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 are no material purposes for which we use this non-GAAP measure beyond the purposes described above.
Management uses operating income and earnings per share data excluding the implementation-related, asset impairment, and restructuring charges to assess the current operational performance of the business for the year and to have a basis to compare results to prior and future periods. The implementation-related, asset impairment, and restructuring charges are relevant in evaluating the overall performance of the business. Limitations associated with the use of the non-GAAP measure include that this measure does not include all of the amounts associated with our results as determined in accordance with GAAP. Management compensates for these limitations by using both the non-GAAP measure, operating income and diluted earnings per share excluding the charges, and the GAAP measure operating income and diluted earnings per share, in its evaluation of performance. There are no material purposes for which we use this non-GAAP measure beyond 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.

Free cash flow - Management uses free cash flow to assess the financial performance of the Company.

Further, free cash flow facilitates Management's ability to strengthen the Company's balance sheet, to repurchase the Company's common shares and to repay the Company's debt obligations.

measure)
In the third quarter of 2009 and during the first quarter of 2008, the Company recorded $5.6 and $6.9, respectively, of restructuring costs. The Company uses Information Management operating income excluding the restructuring charges to assess the current operational performance of the business for the year and to have a basis to compare results to prior and future periods. The restructuring charges are relevant in evaluating the overall performance of the business. Limitations associated with the use of the non-GAAP measure include that this measure does not include all of the amounts associated with our results as determined in accordance with GAAP. Management compensates for these limitations by using both the non-GAAP measure operating income and the GAAP measure operating income, in its evaluation of performance. There are no material purposes for which we use this non-GAAP measure beyond described above.
