FOR FIRST QUARTER 2011
ENGLEWOOD, COLO. (May 3, 2011) — CSG Systems International, Inc. (Nasdaq: CSGS), a leading provider of customer interaction management and billing solutions, today reported results for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. This reflects the first full quarter of financial results from its recent acquisition, Intec Telecom Systems, which was completed on November 30, 2010.
Key Financial Highlights:
• | | First quarter 2011 results: |
| • | | Total revenues were$183.1 million. |
| • | | Non-GAAP operating income was$33.0 million, or18.0% of total revenues and GAAP operating income was $24.1 million, or13.2%of total revenues. |
| • | | Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share (EPS) was$0.54and GAAP EPS was$0.35. |
| • | | Cash flows from operations for the quarter were negative ($1.9) million,due to the timing of certain payments anticipated in the first quarter, including a negative impact of$20 million as a result of a change in the monthly invoice timing for DISH Network, which was included as part of its renewal terms effective this quarter. |
“While our top-line financial results reflect a slower than anticipated start for the year, we have made progress in several key areas over the past several months that we believe are reflective of the strength of our business,” said Peter Kalan, president and chief executive officer for CSG Systems. “For example, we secured a long-term contract with our second largest client, added several new clients to our extensive list of service providers worldwide, and continued to deliver strong bottom line results while increasing our investments in the business.”

Results of Operations
Revenues: Total revenues for the first quarter of 2011 were $183.1 million, which reflects the first full quarter of financial results from Intec Telecom, acquired on November 30, 2010. This represents a 41% increase from revenues of $130.3 million for the same period in 2010, primarily due to including Intec in the 2011 results.
Non-GAAP Results: Non-GAAP operating income for the first quarter of 2011 was $33.0 million, or 18.0% of total revenues, which compares to $28.3 million, or 21.7%, for the same period in 2010. The 18% non-GAAP operating margin is consistent with the company’s expectations as it reflects the full quarterly impact of the lower margin profile software and services business of Intec.
Non-GAAP EPS for the first quarter of 2011 of $0.54 increased 10% when compared to non-GAAP EPS of $0.49 for the first quarter of 2010, with the increase primarily the result of growth in non-GAAP operating results over the same period last year.
GAAP Results: GAAP operating income for the first quarter of 2011 was $24.1 million, or 13.2% of total revenues, compared to $16.4 million, or 12.6%, for the same period in 2010. Our data center migration expenses reduced operating income by $7.7 million for the first quarter 2010, with no such comparable expenses in 2011.
GAAP EPS for the first quarter of 2011 was $0.35, compared to $0.03 for the first quarter of 2010. GAAP EPS for the first quarter of 2010 was negatively impacted by the following items:
| • | | the data center transition expenses of $7.7 million, which negatively impacted GAAP EPS by $0.14 per diluted share; and |
| • | | the loss on the repurchase of convertible debt securities of $11.0 million, which negatively impacted GAAP EPS by $0.20 per diluted share. |

(1) | The sequential decrease in cash and investments from December 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011 reflects CSG’s repayment of the $35 million outstanding balance on its revolving loan facility in January 2011, and an anticipated negative impact of $20 million as a result of a change in the monthly invoice timing for DISH Network, which was included as part of its renewal terms. |

(2) | Cash flows from operating activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was negatively impacted by the unfavorable changes in working capital items, primarily related to the following items: (i) the change of the monthly invoice timing for DISH Network, discussed above; and (ii) the timing of payments for several items specific to the first quarter, including Intec acquisition-related expenses and 2010 employee incentive performance bonuses, both of which were accrued expenses as of December 31, 2010. |

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, non-GAAP EPS, and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA. 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 purposes:
| • | | 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 treatment of GAAP amounts considered in preparing 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 (1) | | | X | | | X |
Intec acquisition-related charges (1) | | | X | | | X |
Stock-based compensation | | | X | | | X |
Amortization of acquired intangible assets | | | X | | | X |
Amortization of original issue discount (“OID”) | | | — | | | X |
Gain/loss on repurchase of convertible debt securities | | | — | | | X |
Unusual income tax matters | | | — | | | X |
(1) | The data center transition project and the Intec acquisition were completed in 2010, and thus, there are no anticipated costs for either of these items in 2011. |
CSG also reports non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA as management believes this measure is useful information to investors in evaluating CSG’s operating performance, liquidity, debt servicing capabilities, and enterprise valuation. CSG defines adjusted EBITDA as income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock based compensation, foreign currency transaction adjustments, and unusual items, such as the data center transition expenses and Intec acquisition-related charges, as discussed below.
CSG believes that excluding certain items in calculating its non-GAAP financial measures 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. |
| • | | The Intec acquisition-related charges relate to certain direct and incremental expenses related to the acquisition of Intec, and thus, are not considered reflective of CSG’s recurring core business operating results. These charges include expenses related to the following: (i) restructuring; (ii) investment banking, legal, accounting, and other professional services; and (iii) costs primarily related to the settlement of foreign currency hedging instruments associated with the funding of the Intec acquisition. The exclusion of these charges in calculating CSG’s non-GAAP financial measures allows management and investors an additional means to compare CSG’s current financial 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 is 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 financial measures 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 is the result of business acquisitions. A portion of the purchase price in an acquisition is allocated to the intangible assets (e.g., software, client relationships, etc.) acquired, which are then amortized to expense over their estimated useful lives. 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 financial measures 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 convertible debt securities OID is the result of allocating a portion of the principal balance of the debt at issuance to the equity component of the instrument, as required under current accounting rules. This OID is then amortized to interest expense over the life of the respective convertible debt instrument. 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 financial measures allows management and investors an additional means to compare CSG’s current operating results with historical and future periods. |
| • | | Unusual fluctuations in the effective income tax rate can occur because of income tax timing matters, or as a result of different treatment of certain items for book accounting and income tax purposes. Consideration of such items in calculating CSG’s non-GAAP financial measures allows management and investors an additional means to compare CSG’s current financial results with historical and future periods. |
