Convergys Reports Second Quarter Results


Convergys Corporation (NYSE: CVG), a global leader in customer management, today announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2015.

The Company also announced that the Board of Directors approved increasing the authorization for share repurchases to $250 million.

Second Quarter Summary

  • Revenue was $717 million, a 3 percent decrease as reported and a slight increase on a constant currency basis compared with the prior year;
  • Adjusted EPS from continuing operations of $0.33, compared with $0.34 in the prior year; GAAP EPS from continuing operations was $0.28, including acquisition-related and other impacts, compared with $0.23 in the prior year;
  • Adjusted free cash flow of $47 million;
  • $22 million capital returned to shareholders including $15 million Convergys share repurchase and $7 million dividend payment;
  • Confirming 2015 EBITDA and EPS outlook; adjusting revenue outlook to reflect unfavorable currency impacts.

"Our business execution is on track as we generated solid revenue, earnings and cash flow consistent with our expectations," said Andrea Ayers, president and CEO. "Growth with several existing and new clients on a constant currency basis offset volume fluctuations with a few clients, and we made good progress returning to an organic growth trajectory in the quarter. Our investment in quality delivery, multichannel solutions and account management is enhancing value for our clients and producing strong new business signings. Based on our performance year-to-date and visibility into the second half, we are confirming our full-year earnings guidance."

Ayers continued, "With our ample liquidity and strong cash generation we have flexibility to invest in the business and return capital to investors, and we are pleased to announce our increased share repurchase authorization."

2015 Business Outlook

Convergys expectations for EBITDA, EPS and constant currency revenue are unchanged from prior guidance. Due to the negative impact of the strengthened US dollar against the euro, Australian dollar, British pound, and Canadian dollar, the Company's expectation for reported revenue has changed. As a result, Convergys now expects:

  • Reported revenue of $2.940 billion to $3.020 billion, including approximately $0.075 billion negative impact of foreign exchange rates compared with 2014 rates, changed from the approximately $0.065 billion negative impact included in prior guidance;
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $375 million to $395 million, unchanged from prior guidance;
  • Adjusted effective tax rate to approximate 23 percent, unchanged from prior guidance;
  • Diluted shares outstanding to approximate 105 million, unchanged from prior guidance;
  • Adjusted EPS of $1.65 to $1.75, unchanged from prior guidance.

Not included in this outlook are acquisition-related impacts such as integration costs, intangible amortization and depreciation related to the fair value write-up of acquired property and equipment, and tax expense associated with cash repatriation. Also not included are impacts from future currency movements, non-cash pension settlement charges, significant discrete tax adjustments or any future share repurchase activities.

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 failure to successfully acquire and integrate businesses; (iv) our inability to protect personally identifiable data against unauthorized access or unintended release; (v) our inability to maintain and upgrade our technology and network equipment in a timely manner; (vi) 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; (vii) the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; (viii) the failure to meet expectations regarding the tax treatment of acquired or divested businesses; (ix) adverse effects of litigation and other commitments and contingencies and (x) 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. The forward-looking information in this document is given as of the date of the particular statement and we assume no duty to update this information. Our filings and other important information are also available on the investor relations page of our web site at www.convergys.com.

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 operating income, net income from continuing operations and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations metrics excluding certain unusual, non-operational or restructuring-related activities.

These items 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, constant currency revenue growth, operating income, income from continuing operations, net of tax and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations excluding the items above, and the GAAP measures, revenue growth, 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 measure constant currency revenue growth because management uses this measure to assess underlying revenue trends by providing revenue growth between periods on a consistent basis. Revenue growth is adjusted based on a mathematical model that translates current period revenue in local currencies using the comparable prior year period's currency exchange rates. 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 the non-GAAP metrics free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow to assess the financial performance of the Company. Convergys' management believes that free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are useful to investors because they relate 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 and adjusted free cash flow provide an indication of the ongoing cash that is available for debt repayment, returning capital to shareholders and other opportunities. Management also 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. Limitations associated with the use of free cash flow and adjusted 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 utilizing the non-GAAP measures, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow, and the GAAP measure, cash flow from operating activities, in its evaluation of 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. The non-GAAP financial information that we provide may be different from that provided by our competitors or other companies.

Management uses free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow to assess the financial performance of the Company. Convergys' Management believes that free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are useful to investors because they relate 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 and adjusted free cash flow provide an indication of the ongoing cash that is available for debt repayment, returning capital to shareholders and other investment opportunities. Management also 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.
 
Limitations associated with the use of free cash flow and adjusted 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 measures, free cash flow and adjusted 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 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.
