Results of Operations
Revenues: Total revenues for the
first quarter of 2016 were $186.2 million, a slight increase over
revenues of $185.6 million for the first quarter of 2015, and a 6%
decrease when compared to $197.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2015.
The year-over-year increase is attributed to strong cloud and related
solutions revenues, which more than offset unfavorable foreign currency
movements of approximately $2 million. The sequential quarterly decrease
can be attributed to the seasonally higher level of software and
services revenues CSG typically experiences in the fourth quarter.
Non-GAAP Results: Non-GAAP operating
income for the first quarter of 2016 was $44.3 million, or 23.8% of
total revenues, compared to $30.8 million, or 16.6%, for the first
quarter of 2015. Non-GAAP operating income for the fourth quarter of
2015 was $43.5 million, or 22.1% of total revenues. Non-GAAP EPS for the
first quarter of 2016 was $0.77, compared to $0.51 for the first quarter
of 2015, and $0.77 for the fourth quarter of 2015. The year-over-year
improvements in operating margin and non-GAAP EPS can be mainly
attributed to lower operating expenses as a result of cost savings
initiatives we completed throughout 2015, and favorable foreign currency
movements.
GAAP Results: GAAP operating income
for the first quarter of 2016 was $41.3 million, or 22.2% of total
revenues, compared to $21.9 million, or 11.8%, for the same period in
2015.
GAAP EPS for the first quarter of 2016 was $0.64, as compared to $0.28
for the first quarter of 2015.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flows
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at March 31, 2016 were
$385.2 million, compared to $240.9 million at December 31, 2015. The
quarterly increase is mainly due to the proceeds from the $230 million
of the 2016 Convertible Notes that CSG issued in March, reduced by the
repurchase of $40 million aggregate principal amount of the $150 million
of 2010 Convertible Notes for approximately $73 million. In April 2016,
CSG repurchased an additional $66 million aggregate principal amount of
the 2010 Convertible Notes for approximately $126 million, leaving $44
million of the 2010 Convertible Notes outstanding.
CSG generated $10.7 million of net cash flow from operations for the
quarter and non-GAAP free cash flow of $5.4 million.

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
CSG's 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 CSG's 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 CSG's underlying operational results,
trends, and cash generating capabilities;
-
Consistency and comparability with CSG's 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 CSG's operations and that are required by GAAP to
be included in financial statements;
-
Certain adjustments to CSG's non-GAAP financial measures result in the
exclusion of items that are recurring and will be reflected in CSG's
financial statements in future periods; and
-
Certain charges excluded from CSG's non-GAAP financial measures are
cash expenses, and therefore do impact CSG's 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.

CSG believes that excluding certain items in calculating its non-GAAP
financial measures provides meaningful supplemental information
regarding CSG's 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
CSG's 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 CSG's recurring core business
operating results. The exclusion of these items in calculating CSG's
non-GAAP financial measures allows management and investors an
additional means to compare CSG's 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 CSG's 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 CSG's non-GAAP financial measures allows management and
investors an additional means to compare CSG's current financial
results with historical and future periods.
-
Stock-based compensation results from CSG's 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 CSG's 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 CSG's non-GAAP
financial measures allows management and investors an additional means
to evaluate the non-cash expense related to compensation included in
CSG's results of operations, and therefore, the exclusion of this item
allows investors to further evaluate the cash generating capabilities
of CSG's 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 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 CSG's non-GAAP financial measures allows
management and investors an additional means to evaluate the non-cash
expense related to acquisitions included in CSG's results of
operations, and therefore, the exclusion of this item allows investors
to further evaluate the cash generating capabilities of CSG's business.
-
The convertible notes 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 CSG's convertible notes for cash flow, liquidity,
and debt service purposes.
-
Gains and losses related to the repurchase of CSG's convertible notes
are not considered reflective of CSG's recurring core business
operating results. Any resulting gain or loss on the repurchase of
CSG's convertible notes is non-cash income or expense, and therefore,
the exclusion of this item allows investors to further evaluate the
cash impact of these repurchases for cash flow and liquidity purposes.
In addition, the exclusion of these gains and losses in calculating
CSG's non-GAAP EPS allows management and investors an additional means
to compare CSG's current operating results with historical and future
periods.
-
Unusual items within CSG's 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 CSG's non-GAAP
financial measures allows management and investors an additional means
to compare CSG's 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 CSG's 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 CSG's 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.

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.
|
|
(3)
|
|
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.
|
|
(4)
|
|
For the first quarter of 2016 the GAAP effective income tax rate was
35%, the non-GAAP effective income tax rate was approximately 37%,
and the outstanding diluted shares were 33.7 million.
|
|
(5)
|
|
For the first quarter of 2015, the GAAP effective income tax rate
was 44%, the non-GAAP effective income tax rate was approximately
37%, and the outstanding diluted shares were 33.3 million. The
difference between the GAAP and the non-GAAP effective income tax
rates relates to the timing of the 2015 R&D tax credit legislation.
The anticipated quarterly benefit of the credits was included for
non-GAAP purposes, but could not be reflected for GAAP purposes
until the legislation was actually passed.

These items (on a pretax basis) are calculated in accordance with
GAAP, and will be reflected as part of the results of operations in
CSG's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
|
|
(13)
|
|
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.
|
|
(14)
|
|
For 2016, the estimated effective income tax rate for non-GAAP
purposes is expected to be approximately 37%. The weighted-average
diluted shares outstanding are expected to be 32.7 million.
