TELETECH HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

(1)                                 OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Overview

 

TeleTech Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“TeleTech” or the “Company”) serve their clients through the primary businesses of business process outsourcing, which includes data-driven strategic consulting and marketing services, customer management, and hosted and managed technologies for a variety of industries via operations in the U.S., Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Costa Rica, England, France, Germany, Ghana, Italy, Kuwait, Lebanon, Mexico, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, the Philippines, Scotland, Spain, Thailand, South Africa, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Consolidated Financial Statements are comprised of the accounts of TeleTech, its wholly owned subsidiaries, its 55% interest in Percepta, LLC, its 80% interest in Peppers & Rogers Group (“PRG”) and its 80% interest in iKnowtion, LLC which was acquired on February 27, 2012 (see Note 2 for additional information). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2013, and the consolidated results of operations and comprehensive income and cash flows of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013.

 

These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates including those related to derivatives and hedging activities, income taxes including the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, self-insurance reserves, litigation reserves, restructuring reserves, allowance for doubtful accounts and valuation of goodwill, long-lived and intangible assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2013, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that improves the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. This new guidance requires entities to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income when applicable or to cross-reference the reclassifications with other disclosures that provide additional detail about the reclassifications made when the reclassifications are not made to net income. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company’s adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows since it was an enhancement to current required disclosures.

(2)                                 ACQUISITIONS

 

OnState

 

On January 1, 2012, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with OnState Communications Corporation (“OnState”) to acquire 100% of its assets and assume certain of its liabilities for total cash consideration of $3.3 million. OnState provides hosted business process outsourcing solutions to a variety of small businesses. OnState was headquartered in Boston, MA with a minimal employee base.

 

As of March 31, 2013 the Company had paid $3.1 million towards the purchase price. The remaining purchase price will be paid out once the potential for covered losses has expired under the purchase agreement, which is expected to be in 2013. The $0.2 million was included within Other accrued expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2013. The Company paid $0.1 million of acquisition related expenses as part of the OnState purchase. These costs were recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income during the first quarter of 2012.

 

The following summarizes the fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (in thousands):

The software acquired will be amortized over four years once it is placed into service. The goodwill recognized from the OnState acquisition is primarily attributable to the synergies resulting from incorporating the acquired software into the Company’s current technology platforms in addition to the acquisition of the employees who developed the acquired software. Since this acquisition is an asset acquisition for tax purposes, the goodwill of $1.1 million and software are deductible over their respective tax lives. The acquired goodwill of OnState is reported within the Customer Technology Services segment from the date of acquisition.

On February 27, 2012, the Company acquired an 80% interest in iKnowtion, LLC (“iKnowtion”). iKnowtion integrates proven marketing analytics methodologies and business consulting capabilities to help clients improve their return on marketing expenditures in such areas as demand generation, share of wallet, and channel mix optimization. iKnowtion is located in Boston, MA and has approximately 40 employees.

 

The up-front cash consideration paid was $1.0 million. The Company was also obligated to pay a working capital adjustment equivalent to any acquired working capital from iKnowtion in excess of a working capital floor as defined in the purchase and sale agreement. The working capital adjustment was $0.2 million and was paid during the second quarter of 2012.

The Company is also obligated to make earn-out payments over the next four years if iKnowtion achieves specified earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) targets, as defined by the purchase and sale agreement. The fair value of the contingent payments was measured based on significant inputs not observable in the market (Level 3 inputs). Key assumptions include a discount rate of 21% and expected future value of payments of $4.3 million. The $4.3 million of expected future payments was calculated using a probability weighted EBITDA assessment with higher probability associated with iKnowtion achieving the maximum EBITDA targets. As of the acquisition date, the fair value of the contingent payments was approximately $2.9 million. As of March 31, 2013, the fair value of the contingent consideration was $3.8 million, of which $1.1 million and $2.7 million were included in Other accrued expenses and Other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively.

 

The fair value of the 20% noncontrolling interest in iKnowtion at the date of acquisition was $0.9 million and was estimated based on a 20% interest of the fair value of a 100% interest in iKnowtion and was discounted for a lack of control at a rate of 23.1%.

 

In the event iKnowtion meets certain EBITDA targets for calendar year 2015, the purchase and sale agreement requires TeleTech to purchase the remaining 20% interest in iKnowtion in 2016 for an amount equal to a multiple of iKnowtion’s 2015 EBITDA as defined in the purchase and sale agreement. These terms represent a contingent redemption feature. The fair value of the redemption feature is based on a comparison of EBITDA multiples and the EBITDA multiple to purchase the remaining 20% of iKnowtion approximates EBITDA multiples in the market for similar acquisitions.

 

The Company paid $0.1 million of acquisition related expenses as part of the iKnowtion purchase. These costs were recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income during the three months ended March 31, 2012.

(4)                                 SIGNIFICANT CLIENTS AND OTHER CONCENTRATIONS

 

The Company had one client that contributed in excess of 10% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2013. This client contributed 11.9% and 9.4% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. This client had an outstanding receivable balance of $25.0 million and $21.5 million as of March 31, 2013 and 2012.

 

The loss of one or more of its significant clients could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, or financial condition. The Company does not require collateral from its clients. To limit the Company’s credit risk, management performs periodic credit evaluations of its clients and maintains allowances for uncollectible accounts and may require pre-payment for services. Although the Company is impacted by economic conditions in various industry segments, management does not believe significant credit risk existed as of March 31, 2013.

The Company performs a goodwill impairment assessment on at least an annual basis. The Company conducts its annual goodwill impairment assessment during the fourth quarter, or more frequently, if indicators of impairment exist.

 

As of December 2012, the Company had one reporting unit with goodwill of $7.3 million and a calculated fair value which exceeded its carrying value by 4%. At March 31, 2013, the Company updated its quantitative assessment of this reporting unit’s fair value using an income based approach. Key assumptions used in the updated fair value calculation include, but are not limited to, a perpetuity growth rate of 7.0% based on the current inflation rate combined with the GDP growth rate for the reporting unit’s geographical region and a discount rate of 25.5%, which is equal to the reporting unit’s equity risk premium adjusted for its size and company specific risk factors. Estimated future cash flows under the income approach are based on the Company’s internal business plan and adjusted as appropriate for the Company’s view of market participant assumptions. The current business plan assumes the occurrence of certain events in the future, such as realignment of operations and reduction of general and administrative costs. Significant differences in the outcome of some or all of these assumptions may impact the calculated fair value of this reporting unit resulting in impairment to goodwill in a future period. As of March 31, 2013, the updated fair value of this reporting unit continues to exceed its carrying value by 4%. The Company will continue to review the calculated fair value of this reporting unit until the fair value is substantially in excess of its carrying value.

(6)                                 DERIVATIVES

 

Cash Flow Hedges

 

The Company enters into foreign exchange and interest rate related derivatives. Foreign exchange derivatives entered into consist of forward and option contracts to reduce the Company’s exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations that are associated with forecasted revenue earned in foreign locations. Interest rate derivatives consist of interest rate swaps to reduce the Company’s exposure to interest rate fluctuations associated with its variable rate debt. Upon proper qualification, these contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. It is the Company’s policy to only enter into derivative contracts with investment grade counterparty financial institutions, and correspondingly, the fair value of derivative assets considers, among other factors, the creditworthiness of these counterparties. Conversely, the fair value of derivative liabilities reflects the Company’s creditworthiness. As of March 31, 2013, the Company has not experienced, nor does it anticipate, any issues related to derivative counterparty defaults. The following table summarizes the aggregate unrealized net gain or loss in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 (amounts in thousands and net of tax):

Fair Value Hedges

 

The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to economically hedge against foreign currency exchange gains and losses on certain receivables and payables of the Company’s foreign operations. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges are recognized in earnings in Other income (expense), net. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 the total notional amount of the Company’s forward contracts used as fair value hedges were $212.2 million and $189.3 million, respectively.

 

Embedded Derivatives

 

In addition to hedging activities, the Company’s foreign subsidiary in Argentina was party to U.S. dollar denominated lease contracts which the Company determined contain embedded derivatives. As such, the Company bifurcates the embedded derivative features of the lease contracts and valued these features as foreign currency derivatives. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the fair value of the embedded derivative was $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, and was included in Other current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as shown in the table below.

(7)                                 FAIR VALUE

 

The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires that the Company maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

 

Level 1

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

 

 

Level 2

Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

 

 

Level 3

Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

 

The following presents information as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 of the Company’s assets and liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as the fair value hierarchy used to determine their fair value.

Accounts Receivable and Payable - The amounts recorded in the accompanying balance sheets approximate fair value because of their short-term nature.

 

Debt - The Company’s debt consists primarily of the Company’s Credit Agreement, which permits floating-rate borrowings based upon the current Prime Rate or LIBOR plus a credit spread as determined by the Company’s leverage ratio calculation (as defined in the Credit Agreement). As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had $115.0 million and $108.0 million, respectively, of borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement. During the first quarter of 2013 outstanding borrowings accrued interest at an average rate of 1.5% per annum, excluding unused commitment fees. The amounts recorded in the accompanying balance sheets approximate fair value due to the variable nature of the debt.

 

Derivatives - Net derivative assets (liabilities) are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The portfolio is valued using models based on market observable inputs, including both forward and spot foreign exchange rates, interest rates, implied volatility, and counterparty credit risk, including the ability of each party to execute its obligations under the contract. As of March 31, 2013, credit risk did not materially change the fair value of the Company’s derivative contracts.

 

The following is a summary of the Company’s fair value measurements for its net derivative assets (liabilities) as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (amounts in thousands):

Money Market InvestmentsThe Company invests in various well-diversified money market funds which are managed by financial institutions. These money market funds are not publicly traded, but have historically been highly liquid. The value of the money market funds are determined by the banks based upon the funds’ net asset values (“NAV”). All of the money market funds currently permit daily investments and redemptions at a $1.00 NAV.

 

Deferred Compensation PlanThe Company maintains a non-qualified deferred compensation plan structured as a Rabbi trust for certain eligible employees. Participants in the deferred compensation plan select from a menu of phantom investment options for their deferral dollars offered by the Company each year, which are based upon changes in value of complementary, defined market investments. The deferred compensation liability represents the combined values of market investments against which participant accounts are tracked.

 

Purchase Price Payable — The Company recorded purchase price payables related to the acquisitions of iKnowtion, Guidon and TSG. These purchase price payables were recognized at fair value using a discounted cash flow approach and a discount rate of 4.6% or 21.0%. These measurements were based on significant inputs not observable in the market. The Company will record interest expense each period using the effective interest method until the future value of these purchase price payables reaches their expected future value of $14.5 million. Interest expense related to all recorded purchase price payables is included in Interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

The Company also had a future payable related to the purchase of PRG. As part of the PRG acquisition, the Company paid the previously recognized purchase price payable of $5.0 million on March 1, 2012. The Company recorded interest expense each period using the effective interest rate method until the payable reached the $5.0 million payment.

 

(8)                                 INCOME TAXES

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the accounting literature for income taxes, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences of transactions that have been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Quarterly, the Company assesses the likelihood that its net deferred tax assets will be recovered. Based on the weight of all available evidence, both positive and negative, the Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets when it is more-likely-than-not that a future tax benefit will not be realized.

 

In 2005, the Company sought relief under the United States-Canada Income Tax Convention for avoidance of double taxation arising from adjustments to the taxable income assessed in the U.S. and Canada with respect to the years 2001 and 2002. On February 20, 2011, the Company received notice of an adverse decision by the Canadian Revenue Agency (“CRA”) in regards to the Company’s request. Consistent with accounting for tax positions that no longer meet the recognition criteria, in the first quarter of 2011 the Company derecognized income tax positions totaling $8.6 million through income tax expense and filed for Judicial Review of CRA’s actions with the Federal Court of Canada. On March 20, 2013, the Company presented its arguments in the Federal Court of Canada and asked the Court to issue a writ of mandamus to compel the CRA to accept the Company’s application for Competent Authority consideration. A final decision in this matter is expected later this year.

 

As of March 31, 2013, the Company had $48.5 million of gross deferred tax assets (after a $19.0 million valuation allowance) and net deferred tax assets (after deferred tax liabilities) of $45.8 million related to the U.S. and international tax jurisdictions whose recoverability is dependent upon future profitability.

 

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was 11.4% and 9.9%, respectively.

 

The Company’s U.S. income tax returns filed for the tax years ending December 31, 2009 to present, remain open tax years subject to IRS audit. The Company is currently under audit of income taxes in Canada. Although the outcome of examinations by taxing authorities are always uncertain, it is the opinion of management that the resolution of these audits will not have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

(9)                                 RESTRUCTURING CHARGES AND IMPAIRMENT LOSSES

 

Restructuring Charges

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company undertook a number of restructuring activities primarily associated with reductions in the Company’s capacity and workforce in its Customer Management Services, Customer Growth Services and Customer Strategy Services segments to better align the capacity and workforce with current business needs.

 

During the second quarter of 2012, the Company made the decision to cease operations in Spain and terminated the contracts with its clients. The Company notified the employees and commenced severance procedures as required under Spanish law. The Company recorded $14.7 million of severance and $0.4 million of center closure expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012. As of the first quarter of 2013, $14.1 million was paid and the remaining $1.0 million was included in Other accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2013.

Impairment Losses

 

During each of the periods presented, the Company evaluated the recoverability of its leasehold improvement assets at certain delivery centers. An asset is considered to be impaired when the anticipated undiscounted future cash flows of an asset group are estimated to be less than the asset group’s carrying value. The amount of impairment recognized is the difference between the carrying value of the asset group and its fair value. To determine fair value, the Company used Level 3 inputs in its discounted cash flows analysis. Assumptions included the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and assumed discount rates. During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized no losses related to leasehold improvement assets.

 

During the first quarter of 2012, the Company rebranded its Direct Alliance Corporation (“DAC”) subsidiary to RevanaTM, thus the $1.8 million DAC trade name was impaired as of March 31, 2012. This expense was included in the Impairment losses in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

 

(10)         COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Credit Facility

 

On October 1, 2010, the Company entered into a five-year, $350.0 million revolving line of credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders led by KeyBank National Association, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Bank of America, N.A., BBVA Compass, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. On March 27, 2012, the Company amended the Credit Agreement by increasing the aggregate commitment by $150.0 million to $500.0 million and revising certain definitions.

The Company primarily utilizes its Credit Agreement to fund working capital, general operations, stock repurchases and other strategic activities, such as the acquisitions described in Note 2. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had borrowings of $115.0 million and $108.0 million, respectively, under our Credit Agreement, and our average daily utilization was $219.6 million and $126.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. After consideration for issued letters of credit under the Credit Agreement, totaling $3.8 million, our remaining borrowing capacity was $381.2 million as of March 31, 2013. As of March 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and conditions under its Credit Agreement.

 

Letters of Credit

 

As of March 31, 2013, outstanding letters of credit under the Credit Agreement totaled $3.8 million and primarily guaranteed workers’ compensation and other insurance related obligations. As of March 31, 2013, letters of credit and contract performance guarantees issued outside of the Credit Agreement totaled $0.5 million.

 

Guarantees

 

Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement is guaranteed by certain of the Company’s present and future domestic subsidiaries.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, the Company has been involved in claims and lawsuits, both as plaintiff and defendant, which arise in the ordinary course of business. Accruals for claims or lawsuits have been provided for to the extent that losses are deemed both probable and estimable. Although the ultimate outcome of these claims or lawsuits cannot be ascertained, on the basis of present information and advice received from counsel, the Company believes that the disposition or ultimate resolution of such claims or lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, cash flows or results of operations. All legal fees are expensed as incurred.

 

In 2009, the municipality of Sao Paulo, Brazil assessed the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary a services tax on certain equipment rental income earned in 2004 and 2005. In March 2011, the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary filed a tax annulment action in the Sao Paulo municipal court to challenge the assessment of services taxes on rental income. Further, in order to halt the possibility of any further interest being charged against the alleged due tax assessments, the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary gave a bank guarantee of 6.9 million Brazilian reais (approximately $3.5 million USD as of March 31, 2013). In the second quarter of 2012, the Sao Paulo municipal court issued a ruling in favor of Sao Paulo on this tax annulment action, which ruling the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary has challenged. The Company’s Brazilian subsidiary filed this challenge in the state court of Sao Paulo which is not bound by the decision of the Sao Paulo municipal court and where a ruling is not expected for the next one to two years. Based on an opinion received from legal counsel in Brazil, the Company believes that (i) the ruling issued by the Sao Paulo municipal court was incorrect and in contravention of a Brazil Supreme Court ruling concerning the invalidity of services taxes on rental income, (ii) the Brazilian subsidiary has valid defenses against the assessed services taxes and (iii) that payment of these services taxes is not probable. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded an expense as of March 31, 2013 for the Sao Paulo services tax assessment.

On October 12, 2012, an amended class action complaint was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Santa Clara, against TeleTech Services Corp. and Google Inc. (“Google”), as co-defendants. The action alleges that the defendants violated California Penal Code Section 632 by recording telephone calls made on behalf of Google to residents in California without disclosing that the calls might be recorded. The plaintiff seeks class certification, cash statutory damages and attorney fees. Pursuant to the Company’s agreement with Google, Google has made a claim for full indemnification from the Company for all expenses incurred by Google in connection with the lawsuit. The ultimate outcome of this litigation, and consequently, an estimate of the possible loss, if any, related to this litigation, cannot reasonably be determined at this time. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in these proceedings.
