Results of Operations
Revenues:Total revenues for the first quarter of 2010 were $130.3 million, a five percent increase from revenues of $123.5 million for the same period in 2009, and a two percent increase from the fourth quarter 2009 revenues of $127.8 million. These increases are entirely a result of organic growth factors, primarily related to the full impact of the customer conversions to our systems during the second half of 2009.
Non-GAAP Results: Non-GAAP operating income for the first quarter of 2010 was $24.1 million, or 18.5% of total revenues, which compares to $23.0 million, or 18.6%, for the same period last year. The non-GAAP operating income for the first quarter of 2010 and 2009 excludes $7.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively, of data center transition expenses. Non-GAAP EPS for the first quarter of 2010 was $0.49 compared to $0.50 for the first quarter of 2009. For the current quarter, the effective income tax rate was 38%, higher than previous expectations of 35%, caused by a delay in recognition of certain anticipated tax credits. This higher effective income tax rate had a negative impact of $0.02 on non-GAAP EPS for the quarter.

GAAP Results: GAAP operating income for the first quarter of 2010 was $16.4 million, or 12.6% of total revenues, compared to $21.6 million, or 17.5%, for first quarter of 2009, with the decrease related primarily to the $6.3 million increase in quarterly data center transition costs between years. GAAP EPS for the first quarter of 2010 was $0.03, compared to $0.37 for the same period last year. This year-over-year decrease in GAAP EPS can be attributed primarily to the following items:
• | A net negative GAAP EPS impact of $(0.23) related to the $11.0 million loss, or ($0.20) per diluted share impact, on the repurchase of the convertible debt securities incurred in the first quarter of 2010, as compared to the $1.5 million gain, or $0.03 per diluted share impact, that occurred in the first quarter of 2009 for similar debt repurchases; and |
• | A negative GAAP EPS impact of $(0.11) related to the $6.3 million increase in quarterly data center transition costs between years. |

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 and non-GAAP EPS. 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 items:
• | Certain internal financial planning, reporting, and analysis; |
• | Forecasting and budgeting purposes; |
• | 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 GAAP amounts excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures and reconciles each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures: Basis of Presentation
The table below outlines the exclusions from CSG’s non-GAAP financial measures:
Non-GAAP Exclusions | Operating Income | EPS | ||
Data center transition expenses | X | X | ||
Stock-based compensation | — | X | ||
Amortization of acquired intangible assets | — | X | ||
Amortization of original issue discount (“OID”) | — | X | ||
Gain (loss) on repurchase of convertible debt securities | — | X |
CSG believes that excluding certain items provides meaningful supplemental information regarding CSG’s performance and these items are excluded for the following reasons:
• | The data center transition expenses 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 operating results with historical and future periods. |
• | Stock-based compensation results from CSG’s issuance of its common stock 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 more dependent on CSG’s stock price at the stock grant date, and the employee service period over which the equity awards vest. The exclusion of these expenses in calculating CSG’s non-GAAP EPS allows management and investors an additional means to evaluate the non-cash expense related to compensation included in CSG’s results of operations. In addition, the stock-based compensation expense is a non-cash expense, 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 results from the acquisition of businesses. A portion of the purchase price in an acquisition is allocated to the intangible assets (e.g., software, client relationships, etc.) acquired, and is then amortized to expense over the estimated useful life of the respective intangible asset. 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 EPS allows management and investors an additional means to evaluate the non-cash expense related to acquisitions included in CSG’s subsequent results of operations. In addition, the amortization of acquired intangible assets is a non-cash expense, and therefore the exclusion of this item allows investors to further evaluate the cash generating capabilities of CSG’s business. |

• | The amortization of the convertible debt securities OID is additional interest expense as a result of the adoption of a new accounting pronouncement effective January 1, 2009. The exclusion of these costs in calculating CSG’s non-GAAP EPS allows management and investors an additional means to compare CSG’s current interest expense with historical periods prior to the adoption of this new accounting pronouncement. In addition, 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 debt securities for cash flow, liquidity, and debt service purposes. |
• | Gains and losses related to the repurchase of CSG’s convertible debt securities are not considered reflective of CSG’s recurring core business operating results. 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. |
