BUSINESS OUTLOOK

 

We are updating our full year guidance as follows:

 

Revenue — We are reducing our revenue guidance to a range of $1.265 and $1.270 billion, compared to $1.285 and $1.295 billion.

 

Operating Income Margin — We are decreasing our operating income margin guidance to a range between 7.0 and 7.2 percent before asset impairments and restructuring charges, compared to 8.4 and 8.6 percent.

 

Capital Expenditures — We are maintaining our capital expenditure guidance at 4.2 percent of revenue.

 

“Our priorities are focused on closing the sales execution gaps underlying the adjustment to our 2016 revenue guidance and ensuring we pick up the pace on delivering higher levels of profitability,” commented Regina Paolillo, chief financial and administrative officer of TeleTech.  “While we have work to do in delivering higher revenue growth, we are clearly seeing margin expansion in our third quarter results and expect continued improvement in the fourth quarter. On a pro forma basis, we expect the full year benefit from the profit improvement initiatives in the third quarter and the sale of selected small non-strategic assets to deliver an operating margin in the 8.4 to 8.6 percent range that we guided to in the short term, albeit not for the full year ending December 31, 2016.”

 

SEC FILINGS

 

The company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission are available in the “Investors” section of TeleTech’s website, which can be found at www.teletech.com.

 

CONFERENCE CALL

 

A conference call and webcast with management will be held on November 10, 2016 at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. You are invited to join a live webcast of the conference call by visiting the “Investors” section of the TeleTech website at www.teletech.com. If you are unable to participate during the live webcast, a replay will be available on the TeleTech website.

 

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

 

To supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States, the Company uses the following Non-GAAP financial measures: Free Cash Flow, Non-GAAP Revenue, Non-GAAP Income from Operations, Non-GAAP EBITDA and Non-GAAP EPS. Additionally our discussion of revenue and income from operations contain references to constant currency amounts. Constant currency measures are calculated by translating the current year reported amounts using the prior year foreign exchange rates for each underlying currency. TeleTech believes that providing these Non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with greater transparency to the information used by TeleTech’s management in its financial and operational decision making and allows investors to see TeleTech’s results “through the eyes” of management. TeleTech also believes that providing this information better enables TeleTech’s investors

 



 

to understand its operating performance and information used by management to evaluate and measure such performance. These financial measures are not intended to be used in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of these Non-GAAP financial measures is available in the financial tables attached to this press release. We also encourage all investors to read TeleTech’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
