We enter 2015 with several opportunities to continue to accelerate the long-term growth in our revenues and earnings and at the same time invest in our business, said Peter Kalan, chief executive officer and president for CSG International.� First, we are growing our recurring revenues through our North American cable market share wins and with our early successes on our international managed services business.� Next, we are the go-to provider for any company looking to monetize their video and digital services in new ways.� Third, we are able to expand our margins through the scale of our processing business and through prudent cost management.� And finally, with the visibility that we have into our business, we are increasing our share buyback and dividend while maintaining the flexibility to use our balance sheet to be opportunistic with our investments in the business.

Results of Operations

Revenues: Total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2014 were $193.7 million, a slight decrease when compared to revenues of $194.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2013, and a 5% increase when compared to $185.0 million for the third quarter of 2014. The sequential quarterly increase can be attributed to the stronger revenues CSG typically experiences during the fourth quarter.��Total revenues for the full year 2014 were $751.3 million, a 1% increase when compared to revenues of $747.5 million for the full year 2013.��The year-over-year increase in annual revenues is due mainly to the strong growth in processing revenues CSG experienced during 2014, which

�

CSG Systems International, Inc.

February 4, 2015

Page 3

more than offset lower software and services revenues for the year and the $13 million year-over-year impact of two business divestitures completed in the second half of 2013.

�

Non-GAAP Results: Non-GAAP operating income for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $32.1 million, or 16.6% of total revenues, compared to $35.8 million, or 18.4%, for the fourth quarter of 2013. Non-GAAP operating income for the third quarter of 2014 was $29.9 million, or 16.2% of total revenues.

�

Non-GAAP operating income for the full year 2014 was $121.7 million, or 16.2% of total revenues, which compares to $123.2 million, or 16.5% of total revenues for the full year 2013.��

�

Non-GAAP EPS for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $0.61, compared to $0.63 for the fourth quarter of 2013, and $0.49 for the third quarter of 2014. This 2014 fourth quarter EPS amount included a $0.05 benefit related to a better than expected income tax rate for the quarter of 34%, compared to the previous expectation of 40%.��The sequential quarterly increase in non-GAAP EPS can be attributed to a lower non-GAAP effective income tax rate for the quarter, and the higher sequential revenues between periods.��Non-GAAP EPS for the full year 2014 was $2.12, compared to non-GAAP EPS of $2.21 for the full year 2013, with the decrease due to higher diluted shares outstanding, and to a lesser degree, a slightly higher non-GAAP effective income tax rate.

�

GAAP Results: GAAP operating income for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $19.1 million, or 9.9% of total revenues, compared to $16.4 million, or 8.4%, for the same period in 2013. GAAP operating income for the full year 2014 was $75.7 million, or 10.1% of total revenues, compared to $76.7 million, or 10.3% of total revenues for the full year 2013.��

�

GAAP EPS for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $0.38, compared to $0.27 for the fourth quarter of 2013.��GAAP EPS for the full year 2014 was $1.10, compared to $1.56 for the full year 2013, with the 2013 GAAP EPS benefiting from an unusually low tax rate of 17%, which provided a benefit of $0.42 per diluted share.

(2)

Cash flows from operations for the full year 2014 compared to 2013 were lower due primarily to the following tax benefits realized in 2013: (i) reduction of certain tax allowances related to foreign operations; (ii) incremental R&D income tax credits claimed for development activities from previous years; and (iii) recognition of the 2012 R&D tax credits that were recognized in the first quarter of 2013 since the credit legislation was passed by Congress in January 2013.

(3)	Cash flows from changes in operating assets and liabilities for the full year 2014 were negatively impacted by unfavorable changes in working capital items, primarily related to the increases in trade accounts receivable and income tax payments.

Capital Planning Initiatives

CSG announced an increase in its capital allocation to shareholders, and an improvement in its capital structure, which includes the following key items:

�

An 11% increase in CSGs current annual dividend from $0.63 per share to $0.70 per share, effective with the first quarterly dividend of $0.1750 per share recently declared by the Board in January, for payment on March 26, 2015.��This will result in an expected total dividend payout for the full year 2015 of approximately $23 million.

�	An increase in planned share repurchases of up to $150 million under its Share Repurchase Program over the next three years, which represents approximately 20% of the value of its current outstanding shares, facilitated by the following:

o	A 7.5 million increase in the number of authorized shares under CSGs Board-approved Share Repurchase Plan, bringing the total number of remaining authorized shares under the program to approximately 9 million shares.

Under CSGs plan, it may repurchase the shares in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, including through an accelerated stock repurchase (ASR) plan or under a Rule 10b5-1 plan. The actual timing and amount of share repurchases will be dependent on then current market conditions and other business-related factors.

�

CSG Systems International, Inc.

February 4, 2015

Page 5

o	The first $50 million of repurchases for 2015 are expected to be completed through an ASR plan, which is expected to be executed within the next few weeks.

�

CSG recently amended its current credit agreement, with the key terms of the amendment including an extension of the term of the agreement through January 2020, and upsizing the revolving credit facility from the previous level of $100 million to $200 million going forward.��The amended credit agreement provides CSG with additional capital capacity, and flexibility in managing its capital structure over the next five years, including options to settle its convertible debt that matures in early 2017.

�

Overall, these actions reflect the strength and confidence CSG has in its business, and our commitment to return value to our shareholders, said Randy Wiese, chief financial officer.

DISCLOSURES FOR NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Limitations

To supplement its condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), CSG uses non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP EPS, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, and non-GAAP free cash flow. CSG believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when reviewed in conjunction with its GAAP financial measures, provide investors with greater transparency to the information used by CSGs management in its financial and operational decision making. CSG uses these non-GAAP financial measures for the following purposes:

"	Certain internal financial planning, reporting, and analysis;

"	Forecasting and budgeting;

"	Certain management compensation incentives; and

"	Communications with CSGs Board of Directors, stockholders, financial analysts, and investors.

These non-GAAP financial measures are provided with the intent of providing investors with the following information:

"	A more complete understanding of CSGs underlying operational results, trends, and cash generating capabilities;

"	Consistency and comparability with CSGs historical financial results; and

"	Comparability to similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not measures of performance under GAAP, and therefore should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial information. Limitations with the use of non-GAAP financial measures include the following items:

"	Non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles;

"	The way in which CSG calculates non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the way in which other companies calculate similar non-GAAP financial measures;

"	Non-GAAP financial measures do not include all items of income and expense that affect CSGs operations and that are required by GAAP to be included in financial statements;

"	Certain adjustments to CSGs non-GAAP financial measures result in the exclusion of items that are recurring and will be reflected in CSGs financial statements in future periods; and

"	Certain charges excluded from CSGs non-GAAP financial measures are cash expenses, and therefore do impact CSGs cash position.

CSG compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on its GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures as a supplement only. Additionally, CSG provides specific information regarding the treatment of GAAP amounts considered in preparing the non-GAAP financial measures and reconciles each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures: Basis of Presentation

The table below outlines the exclusions from CSGs non-GAAP financial measures:

�

Non-GAAP Exclusions	��	Operating Income		�	��	EPS		�
Restructuring and reorganization charges	��	�	X	�	�	�	X	�
Acquisition-related charges	��	�	X	�	�	�	X	�
Stock-based compensation	��	�	X	�	�	�	X	�
Amortization of acquired intangible assets	��	�	X	�	�	�	X	�
Amortization of original issue discount (OID)	��	�		�	�	�	X	�
Unusual income tax matters	��	�		�	�	�	�X	�

CSG believes that excluding certain items in calculating its non-GAAP financial measures provides meaningful supplemental information regarding CSGs performance and these items are excluded for the following reasons:

Restructuring and reorganization charges are infrequent expenses that result from cost reduction initiatives and/or significant changes to CSGs business, to include such things as involuntary employee terminations, changes in management structure, divestitures of businesses, facility consolidations and abandonments, and fundamental reorganizations impacting operational focus and direction. These charges are not considered reflective of CSGs recurring core business operating results. The exclusion of these items in calculating CSGs non-GAAP financial measures allows management and investors an additional means to compare CSGs current financial results with historical and future periods.

Acquisition-related charges relate to direct and incremental expenses related to business acquisitions, and thus, are not considered reflective of CSGs recurring core business operating results. These charges typically include expenses related to legal, accounting, and other professional services. The exclusion of these charges in calculating CSGs non-GAAP financial measures allows management and investors an additional means to compare CSGs current financial results with historical and future periods.

Stock-based compensation results from CSGs issuance of equity awards to its employees under incentive compensation programs. The amount of this incentive compensation in any period is not generally linked to the level of performance by employees or CSG, but instead is more dependent on CSGs stock price at the date the equity award is granted, and the employee service period over which the equity awards vest. The exclusion of these expenses in calculating CSGs non-GAAP financial measures allows management and investors an additional means to evaluate the non-cash expense related to compensation included in CSGs results of operations, and therefore, the exclusion of this item allows investors to further evaluate the cash generating capabilities of CSGs business.

Amortization of acquired intangible assets is the result of business acquisitions. A portion of the purchase price in an acquisition is allocated to acquired intangible assets (e.g., software, client relationships, etc.), which are then amortized to expense over their estimated useful lives. This annual

�

CSG Systems International, Inc.

February 4, 2015

Page 13

amortization expense is generally unchanged from the initial estimates, regardless of performance of the acquired business in any one period. Also, the value assigned to acquired intangible assets in a business combination is based on various estimates and valuation techniques, and does not necessarily represent the costs CSG would incur to develop such capabilities internally. Additionally, amortization of acquired intangible assets can be inconsistent in amount and frequency, and can be significantly affected by the timing and size of an acquisition. The exclusion of these expenses in calculating CSGs non-GAAP financial measures allows management and investors an additional means to evaluate the non-cash expense related to acquisitions included in CSGs results of operations, and therefore, the exclusion of this item allows investors to further evaluate the cash generating capabilities of CSGs business.

The convertible debt securities OID is the result of allocating a portion of the principal balance of the debt at issuance to the equity component of the instrument, as required under current accounting rules. This OID is then amortized to interest expense over the life of the respective convertible debt instrument. The interest expense related to the amortization of the OID is a non-cash expense, and therefore, the exclusion of this item allows investors to further evaluate the cash interest costs of CSGs convertible debt securities for cash flow, liquidity, and debt service purposes.

Unusual items within CSGs quarterly and/or annual income tax expense can occur from such things as income tax accounting timing matters, income taxes related to unusual events, or as a result of different treatment of certain items for book accounting and income tax purposes. Consideration of such items in calculating CSGs non-GAAP financial measures allows management and investors an additional means to compare CSGs current financial results with historical and future periods.

CSG also reports non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP free cash flow. Management believes non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure to investors in evaluating CSGs operating performance, liquidity, debt servicing capabilities, and enterprise valuation. CSG defines non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA as income before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, foreign currency transaction adjustments, and unusual items, such as restructuring and reorganization charges, as discussed above. Additionally, management uses non-GAAP free cash flow, among other measures, to assess its financial performance and cash generating capabilities, and believes that it is useful to investors because it shows CSGs cash available to service debt, make strategic acquisitions and investments, repurchase its common stock, pay cash dividends, and fund ongoing operations. CSG defines non-GAAP free cash flow as net cash flows from operating activities less the purchases of property and equipment.

�

(1)	These items (on a pretax basis) are calculated in accordance with GAAP, and are reflected as part of the results of operations in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

(2)

Non-GAAP EPS is calculated by taking the non-GAAP income before income taxes and deducting from this amount non-GAAP income taxes calculated by using the non-GAAP effective income tax rate for the period, and then dividing the result of this calculation by the outstanding diluted shares for the period.

(3)

For the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2014, the GAAP effective income tax rate was 24% and 40%, respectively, the non-GAAP effective income tax rate was approximately 34% and 37%, respectively, and the outstanding diluted shares were 33.4�million and 33.7�million, respectively. The fourth quarter difference between the GAAP and the non-GAAP effective income tax rate relates primarily to the timing of the 2014 R&D tax credit legislation. The anticipated quarterly benefit of the credits is included in each of the quarters of 2014 for non-GAAP purposes; however, the fourth quarter GAAP tax rate reflects the entire benefit of the full year impact of the R&D tax credits, as the legislation was not passed until December.��

(4)	For the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2013, the GAAP effective income tax rate was 27% and 17%, respectively, the non-GAAP effective income tax rate was approximately 36% for both periods, and the outstanding diluted shares were 33.8�million and 32.9�million, respectively.

�

The GAAP effective income tax rate for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2013 benefited from the following items, which are excluded from our non-GAAP effective income tax rates for these same periods:

�
