Reviewing Strategic Alternatives Related to its TTEC Digital Business Segment

AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TTEC Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTEC), a leading global technology, consulting and managed services company focused on delivering solutions at the intersection of data, AI and customer experience, announced today financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

“Second quarter 2026 was a challenging quarter with performance that fell short of our plan. While we are disappointed in our results, we remain confident in our path forward. Across both TTEC Engage and TTEC Digital, our priorities remain clear: continue to sharpen our go-to-market approach and return to our historic levels of growth and profitability,” commented Ken Tuchman, TTEC chairman and chief executive officer.

Tuchman continued, “In TTEC Engage, we are strengthening sales execution and securing strategic enterprise wins across key verticals, including automotive, healthcare, retail, and travel. At the same time, we are working with clients to optimize or transition low-margin programs, deploying practical front-line AI and automation to boost productivity, and simplifying our overall cost structure through targeted operational efficiencies and best shore delivery models.”

“In TTEC Digital, we are gaining market traction as we successfully expand our CX technology and services to solutions in high demand – data, AI, observability and security. This increasing momentum paired with our disciplined execution and robust pipeline, reinforces our full-year outlook and keeps TTEC Digital on track to hit its revenue and profitability target,” commented Tuchman.

TTEC EXPLORING STRATEGIC ALTERNATIVES FOR TTEC DIGITAL

SEGMENT REPORTING & COMMENTARY

TTEC reports financial results for TTEC Digital and TTEC Engage business segments. Financial highlights for the two business segments are provided below.

TTEC Digital – Design, build and operate tech-enabled, insight-driven CX solutions

TTEC Engage – Technology-enabled customer care, acquisition, and fraud mitigation services

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

“Our second quarter financial results were below expectations in part due to underperformance across a small number of our Engage clients. This combined with a delay in closing new business is resulting in a revised full year 2026 outlook for our Engage segment. Our Digital segment is performing in line with expectations, and we are pleased with the progress to date. As a result, we remain confident in executing against our original 2026 full year Digital guidance. It is also a reason why our Board of Directors felt the time was right to explore strategic alternatives for our Digital business,” commented Kenny Wagers, chief financial officer of TTEC.

Wagers continued, “We remain confident in our ongoing objectives to deliver profitable growth, improved cash flow and debt reduction. With end-to-end capabilities spanning the full customer experience ecosystem, TTEC is uniquely positioned to help clients transform how they engage with customers and achieve the outcomes that matter most: increased revenue, improved profitability, and deeper customer loyalty. As we help clients navigate their own CX transformation, we remain focused on strengthening TTEC through operational excellence, talent, and disciplined execution. Our Engage and Digital segments are well positioned to deliver second half profitable growth over the prior year both in relative and absolute terms.”

The company has not quantitatively reconciled its guidance for Non-GAAP operating income, Non-GAAP operating income margins, Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margins, Non-GAAP adjusted tax rate, or Non-GAAP earnings per share to their respective most comparable GAAP measures because certain of the reconciling items that impact these metrics, including restructuring and impairment charges, equity-based compensation expense, changes in acquisition contingent consideration, depreciation and amortization expense, and provision for income taxes are dependent on the timing of future events outside of the Company’s control or cannot be reliably predicted. Accordingly, the Company is unable to provide reconciliations to GAAP operating income, operating income margins, EBITDA margins, and diluted earnings per share without unreasonable effort. Please note that the unavailable reconciling items could significantly impact the Company’s 2026 financial results as reported under GAAP.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This press release contains a discussion of certain Non-GAAP financial measures that the company includes to allow investors and analysts to measure, analyze and compare its financial condition and results of operations in a meaningful and consistent manner. A reconciliation of these Non-GAAP financial measures can be found in the tables accompanying this press release.
