CSG SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL, INC. REPORTS

FIRST QUARTER 2007 RESULTS

Revenues of $98.7 million;

Income From Continuing Operations of $0.35 per share.

ENGLEWOOD, COLO. (April 24, 2007) — CSG Systems International, Inc. (Nasdaq: CSGS), a leading provider of customer care and billing solutions, today reported results for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.

First Quarter 2007 Highlights:

• Results from continuing operations were as follows:total revenues were$98.7million;operating income was$20.5million; andincome from continuing operationswas$15.8 million, or$0.35per diluted share. Income from continuing operations exceeded the high end of CSG’s financial guidance of $0.32-$0.34 per diluted share primarily as a result of a better than expected income tax rate for the quarter and the impact of lower outstanding shares for the quarter due to higher than expected stock repurchases during the quarter. On a combined basis, these two items provided a benefit of approximately $0.02 per diluted share for the first quarter, when compared to CSG’s guidance expectations. Absent the impact of these two items, CSG would have achieved the mid point of its earnings per share guidance for the quarter.

• Cash flows from operations for the quarter were $35.7 million, which exceeded CSG’s expectations of $20-$22 million for the quarter, primarily due to better than expected changes in working capital as a result of the timing of a large monthly processing payment from a key client coming in before quarterend.

• For the quarter, CSG repurchased3.0 million shares of its common stock for $75.4 million (weighted-average price of $25.11 per share) under its stock repurchase program.

• To date, approximately 90% of CSG’s cable customer accounts have migrated to CSG’s Advanced Convergent Platform, or ACP.

”We are very pleased with our first quarter financial performance. Our continued strong financial results are a testament to CSG’s strong position in the marketplace and the critical, value-added role we play in our clients’ businesses,” said Ed Nafus, chief executive officer and president of CSG Systems International, Inc. “We remain very focused on delivering innovative, leading-edge technology to our clients in support of their growth and evolution.”

First Quarter 2007 Results From Continuing Operations

Total revenues for the first quarter of 2007 were $98.7 million, which is at the high end of CSG’s financial guidance for the quarter. First quarter revenues represent an increase of six percent when compared to $93.0 million for the same period in 2006, and an increase of two percent when compared to $96.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2006. The components of total revenues were as follows: (i) processing revenues for the first quarter of 2007 were $89.6 million, an increase of four percent when compared to $86.4 million for the same period last year, and an increase of three percent when compared to $87.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2006; and (ii) software, maintenance and services revenues were $9.1 million for the current quarter, a 40 percent increase when compared to $6.6 million for the same period last year, however, a two percent decrease when compared to $9.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2006.

Income from continuing operations presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for the first quarter of 2007 was $15.8 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, compared to $15.5 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, for the same period last year, and $14.1 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2006.

For the first quarter of 2007, CSG’s effective income tax rate was 35%, which was lower than the CSG’s previous expectation of 37%-39%, with the lower tax rate a result of the timing of the recognition of certain income tax benefits for the year. In CSG’s original guidance, certain 2007 income tax benefits were expected to be reflected ratably across 2007. However, after further analysis of this matter under current accounting rules adopted in the first quarter of 2007, these benefits need to be reflected in their entirety in the first quarter income tax rate, rather than spread across the year. The quarterly timing differences related to the accounting for these income tax benefits will have no impact to CSG’s overall income tax rate for 2007, but the lower income tax rate for the quarter did positively impact CSG’s first quarter EPS results by approximately $0.01 per diluted share, when compared to guidance expectations.

Net cash provided by operating activities	$	35,663	$	28,869		$	21,978

(3) The sequential quarterly decrease of approximately $48 million is primarily due to stock repurchases made during the quarter, offset by cash generated from operations.

(4) The first quarter of 2007 changes in operating assets and liabilities was positively impacted by approximately $10 million as CSG received a monthly processing invoice payment from a key client before quarter end.

Stock Repurchase Program

During the first quarter of 2007, CSG repurchased 3.0 million shares of its common stock for $75.4 million (a weighted-average price of $25.11 per share) under its stock repurchase program. The amount of the first quarter share buybacks exceeded CSG’s previously communicated assumption used in its earnings guidance for the quarter, with the lower outstanding shares for the quarter resulting in a $0.01 per diluted share benefit for the quarter, when compared to our guidance. Through March 31, 2007, CSG has purchased 4.6 million shares for a total of $117.8 million (a weighted-average price of $25.73 per share) towards its planned $350 million stock repurchases announced in August 2006.

Second Quarter 2007 and Full Year 2007 Financial Guidance

“For the second quarter of 2007, we are expecting revenues of between $99 million and $101 million, and full year revenues ranging from $400 million to $406 million. We expect income from continuing operations per diluted share of between $0.35 and $0.37 for the second quarter of 2007, with the full year estimates ranging between $1.46 and $1.52 per diluted share,” Randy Wiese, chief financial officer, said.

A summary of CSG’s financial guidance for continuing operations for the second quarter and full year 2007 is as follows (in millions, except for per share amounts and percentages):

	Second Quarter	Full Year
Revenues	$99 - $101	$400 - $406
Operating Margins	21%	21% - 22%
Effective Income Tax Rate	36%-38%	36%-38%
Earnings per Diluted Share	$0.35 - $0.37	$1.46 - $1.52
Cash Flow from Operations	$29 - $31	$125 – $131

CSG’s quarterly and full year earnings per diluted share estimates noted above are highly dependent on its outstanding diluted share amounts. At this time, the guidance provided above assumes CSG will repurchase six million shares of its common stock under its stock repurchase program ratably during the remaining three quarters of 2007. However, the actual amounts, and the timing of such repurchases, are highly dependent upon various market factors, and as a result, the amount and the timing of share repurchases can vary significantly between quarters or from this nine-month assumption.

There are certain non-cash items included in CSG’s second quarter and full year 2007 income from continuing operations per diluted share guidance noted above. The following table outlines the expected impact of these items, and is provided to assist readers in further evaluating CSG’s expected financial performance for these periods (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Second Quarter - 2007		Full Year – 2007
Certain non-cash expenses (5):
Depreciation	$	3,300	$	13,600
Amortization of intangible assets		4,300		17,200
Stock-based employee compensation		2,800		11,500
Total	$	10,400	$	42,300
Per diluted share impact (6)	$	0.16	$	0.64

(5) These items (on a pretax basis) are calculated in accordance with GAAP.

(6) This represents the after tax impact to income from continuing operations on a per diluted share basis using CSG’s estimated effective income tax rates from continuing operations as noted above.

Safe-Harbor Statement

This news release contains forward-looking statements as defined under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, that are based on assumptions about a number of important factors and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from what appears in this news release. These factors include, but are not limited to: 1) CSG's ability to continue to perform satisfactorily and maintain good customer relations with its four largest clients, Comcast Corporation, Echostar Communications, Time Warner, Inc., and Charter Communications, which combined make up approximately 70% of CSG’s revenues; 2) the continued acceptance of CSG’s Advanced Convergent Platform and its related products and services; 3) CSG's ability to enhance current products and develop new technology that will retain existing clients and capture new market share; 4) significant forays into new markets, which may prove costly and unprofitable; 5) the degree to which CSG's expectations of market penetration and consumer acceptance of advanced IP services prove true — and even if realized, CSG’s ability to meet the billing and customer care needs of those markets; 6) client consolidation, which has decreased the number of potential buyers for many of CSG's products and services; 7) CSG's ability to renew contracts and sell additional products and services to existing and new clients; 8) CSG's ability to successfully deliver on lengthy and/or complex implementation projects, which by their nature, carry much more risk; and 9) CSG’s ability to successfully integrate and manage acquired businesses or assets in order to achieve the expected strategic, operating and financial goals established for such acquisitions.
