(1)OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Summary of Business

 

TeleTech Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“TeleTech” or the “Company”) is a customer engagement management services provider, delivering integrated consulting, technology, growth and customer care solutions on a global scale. Our suite of product and service capabilities allows us to design and deliver enhanced, value-driven customer experiences across numerous communication channels. TeleTech’s 41,000 employees serve clients in the automotive, communication, financial services, government, healthcare, logistics, media and entertainment, retail, technology, transportation and travel industries via operations in the U.S., Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Costa Rica, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Lebanon, Macedonia, Mexico, New Zealand, the Philippines, Poland, Singapore, South Africa, Thailand, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Consolidated Financial Statements are comprised of the accounts of TeleTech, its wholly owned subsidiaries, its 55% equity owned subsidiary Percepta, LLC, and its 80% interest in iKnowtion, LLC. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The 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 state fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company and the consolidated results of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and the consolidated cash flows of the Company. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2015, an additional expense of $1.75 million was recorded as an additional estimated tax liability that should have been recorded in prior periods related to ongoing discussions with relevant government authorities related to site compliance with tax advantaged status. The total amount of $1.75 million should have been recorded as additional tax expense in the amount of $466 thousand in 2012, $406 thousand in 2013, $645 thousand in 2014 and $234 thousand in the first quarter of 2015.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded an additional $3.2 million loss related to foreign currency translation within Other comprehensive income (loss) that should have been recorded in 2014 and the three months ended March 31, 2015 to correct for an error in translating the financial results of Sofica Group AD, which we acquired on February 28, 2014. Of the $3.2 million recorded, approximately $1.7 million and $1.5 million should have been recorded in the year ended December 31, 2014 and the three months ended March 31, 2015, respectively. The Company also recorded an additional $2.7 million loss to “Other, net of tax” within Other comprehensive income (loss) in the three months ended March 31, 2015 and the nine months ended September 30, 2015 related to the annual actuarial analysis for the Company’s Philippines pension liability that should have been recorded in the fourth quarter of 2014.

 

The Company has evaluated the aggregate impact of these adjustments and concluded that these adjustments were not material to the previously issued or current period consolidated financial statements.

 

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, 2014.

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 on-going 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, contingent consideration, 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 April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs”. ASU 2015-03 requires all costs incurred in connection with the issuance of debt to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability. This ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating when it will adopt the standard but does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operation or related disclosures.

 

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, “Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments”. ASU 2015-16 requires that the cumulative impact of all measurement period adjustments be recorded in the period in which the adjustment is identified. This change eliminates the requirement to restate prior financial statements. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015 and can be early adopted for periods for which the financial statements have not yet been issued. The Company took advantage of the early adoption provision and adopted the standard during the quarter ended September 30, 2015. It did not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operation or related disclosures.

 

(2)ACQUISITIONS

 

rogenSi

 

In the third quarter of 2014, as an addition to the Customer Strategy Services (“CSS”) segment, the Company acquired substantially all operating assets of rogenSi Worldwide PTY, Ltd., a global leadership, change management, sales, performance training and consulting company.

 

The total purchase price was $34.4 million, subject to certain working capital adjustments, and consists of $18.1 million in cash at closing and an estimated $14.5 million in three earn-out payments, contingent on the acquired companies and TeleTech’s CSS segment achieving certain agreed earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) targets, as defined in the sale and purchase agreement. Additionally, the estimated purchase price included a $1.8 million hold-back payment for contingencies as defined in the sale and purchase agreement which will be paid in the first quarter of 2016, if required. The total contingent consideration possible per the sale and purchase agreement ranges from zero to $17.6 million and the earn-out payments are payable in early 2015, 2016 and 2017, based on July 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014, and full year 2015 and 2016 performance, respectively.

(UNAUDITED)

The fair value of the contingent consideration was measured by applying a probability weighted discounted cash flow model based on significant inputs not observable in the market (Level 3 inputs). Key assumptions include a discount rate of 4.6% and expected future value of payments of $15.3 million. The $15.3 million of expected future payments was calculated using a probability weighted EBITDA assessment with the highest probability associated with rogenSi achieving the targeted EBITDA for each earn-out year. As of the acquisition date, the fair value of the contingent consideration was approximately $14.5 million. During the fourth quarter of 2014 and the third quarter of 2015, the Company recorded fair value adjustments of the contingent consideration of $0.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively, based on revised estimates noting higher probability of exceeding the EBITDA targets (see Note 7). As of September 30, 2015, the fair value of the remaining contingent consideration was $9.9 million, of which $5.9 million and $4.0 million were included in Other accrued expenses and Other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively.

In the third quarter of 2015, the Company finalized its valuation of rogenSi for the acquisition date assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The only material adjustment was an increase to the balances for tradename/ trademarks, customer relationships and non-compete agreements by $3.4 million and a resulting decrease to goodwill of $3.4 million. In connection with this valuation finalization, a reduction to amortization expense of $0.3 million was recorded during the quarter ended September 30, 2015.

 

The rogenSi customer relationships and non-compete agreements will be amortized over useful lives of 70 months and 30 months, respectively. The goodwill recognized from the rogenSi acquisition is attributable, but not limited to, the acquired workforce and expected synergies within CSS. None of the tax basis of the acquired intangibles and goodwill will be deductible for income tax purposes. The acquired goodwill and the operating results of rogenSi are reported, as its own reporting unit, within the CSS segment from the date of acquisition.

Sofica

 

In the first quarter of 2014, as an addition to the Customer Management Services (“CMS”) segment, the Company acquired a 100% interest in Sofica Group, a Bulgarian joint stock company (“Sofica”). Sofica provides customer lifecycle management and other business process services across multiple channels in multiple sites in over 18 languages.

 

The purchase price of $14.2 million included $9.4 million in cash consideration (including working capital adjustments) and an estimated $3.8 million in earn-out payments, payable in 2015 and 2016, contingent on Sofica achieving specified EBITDA targets, as defined by the stock purchase agreement. The total contingent consideration possible per the stock purchase agreement ranges from zero to $7.5 million. Additionally, the purchase price includes a $1.0 million hold-back payment for contingencies as defined in the stock purchase agreement which will be paid in the second quarter of 2016, if required.

 

The fair value of the contingent consideration was measured based on significant inputs not observable in the market (Level 3 inputs). Key assumptions include a discount rate of 5.0% and expected future value of payments of $4.0 million. The $4.0 million of expected future payments was calculated using a probability weighted EBITDA assessment with the highest probability associated with Sofica achieving the targeted EBITDA for each earn-out year. As of the acquisition date, the fair value of the contingent consideration was approximately $3.8 million. During the third and fourth quarters of 2014, the Company recorded fair value adjustments of the contingent consideration of $1.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively, based on revised estimates noting higher probability of exceeding the EBITDA targets (see Note 7). During the second quarter of 2015, the Company recorded a negative fair value adjustment for contingent consideration of $0.5 million based on revised estimates noting lower profitability than initially estimated. As of September 30, 2015, the fair value of the remaining contingent consideration was $3.1 million which was included in Other accrued expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Financial Impact of Acquired Businesses

 

The acquired businesses purchased in 2014 noted above contributed revenues of $14.6 million and $41.9 million, and income from operations of $3.3 million and $6.4 million, inclusive of $0.3 million and $1.7 million of acquired intangible amortization, to the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. These same acquired businesses contributed revenues of $8.5 million and $14.5 million, and income from operations of $1.4 million and $2.1 million, inclusive of $0.4 million and $0.7 million of acquired intangible amortization, to the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.
