CSG International Expands Relationship with Comcast

July 31, 2014

Expands and Extends Contract for Residential Billing Services through June 30, 2019

ENGLEWOOD, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- CSG Systems International, Inc. (NASDAQ: CSGS), a global provider of interactive transaction-driven solutions and services, today announced that it has expanded and extended its relationship with Comcast Cable to provide residential billing services through June 30, 2019.

Currently, CSG provides its end-to-end, pre-integrated customer care and billing solution to approximately two-thirds of Comcast's existing residential customers. The expanded contract provides the framework for Comcast to consolidate its residential business onto CSG's billing solution. Initially under the new agreement, Comcast plans to add approximately 2.3 million residential customers onto the CSG billing solution in early 2015, with the opportunity for additional customer account migrations to CSG as part of any future consolidation or standardization.

"We are extremely pleased with Comcast's decision to expand its relationship with CSG," said Peter Kalan, president and chief executive officer of CSG International. "This is the result of 20 years of hard work, operational excellence and intercompany cooperation as Comcast has evolved to one of the premier providers of content and communications in the new digital era. Through the years, we have enjoyed the opportunity to work side-by-side as Comcast has launched new products and services aimed at giving the customer more choice and control."

"As we continue to innovate and bring new products and services to market, we want to make it easier for customers to interact with us," said Scott Alcott, chief information officer for Comcast Cable. "CSG has been a great partner and this new agreement will help us provide more consistent customer interactions by creating opportunities to standardize and streamline our back-office operations."

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this communication regarding the potential processing of non-CSG customer accounts onto the CSG billing platform, including any statements regarding the expected timetable for completing any such conversions and their financial impact for CSG, and any other statements regarding CSG's future expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, financial projections, assumptions or future events that are not historical in nature are "forward-looking" statements made within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

These statements are often, but not always, made through use of words or phrases such as "may", "believe", "anticipate", "could", "should", "intend", "plan", "will", "expect(s)", "estimate(s)", "project(s)", "forecast(s)", "positioned", "strategy", "outlook" and similar expressions. All such forward-looking statements involve estimates and assumptions that are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in the statements.

Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements are the following: the timing of any migrations of customer accounts to CSG's billing platform; the risk with both parties' abilities to efficiently and effectively migrate customer accounts from other billing platforms onto the CSG platform; the risk that Comcast will execute on its currently planned intentions to consolidate and standardize its operations in the future; and the potential adverse impact of continued service provider consolidation within the communications industry.
