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. This list is not exhaustive and readers are encouraged to review the additional risks and important factors described in CSG’s reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q and other filings made with the SEC.
