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.

 

GAAP metrics are presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

 

“2019 was a milestone year for us, exceeding many of our key goals,” commented Regina Paolillo, chief financial and administrative officer. “We achieved record financial results, completed a strategic acquisition, entered into new and expanded technology channel partnerships, significantly grew our CX cloud market share, and added a meaningful number of new hypergrowth and Global 1000 clients across our expanded global footprint. We expect these positive developments alongside the size and diversity of our bookings, revenue backlog and sales pipeline to enable revenue growth and profit margin expansion in 2020.

 

Paolillo continued, “With regard to any impact from the coronavirus, we have reflected our initial assumptions in our guidance. Given the diversity of our industry coverage and client delivery footprint, alongside our virtual Digital and Engage services capabilities, we currently do not expect a material impact to our 2020 financial and business results.”

 

Our full-year 2020 outlook, which excludes restructuring and impairment charges, is as follows:

Revenue between $1.757 and $1.773 billion, an increase of 6.9 and 7.9 percent over the prior year.

 

Operating Income margins between 8.2 and 8.4 percent.

Margins of approximately 12.9 percent for TTEC Digital and 7.3 percent for TTEC Engage

 

Adjusted EBITDA margins between 13.3 and 13.5 percent.

Margins of approximately 18.4 percent for TTEC Digital and 12.4 percent for TTEC Engage

 

Earnings Per Share between 2.03 and 2.10 cents.

 

Capital expenditures are estimated to between 3.6 and 3.8 percent of revenue, of which approximately 65 percent is growth oriented.
