CSG SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL
The condensed consolidated financial statements at June 30, 1998, and for the
three and six months then ended are unaudited and reflect all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and
operating results for the interim period. The condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto, together with management's discussion and analysis
of financial condition and results of operations, contained in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997, filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1998, are not necessarily indicative of the results
for the entire year ending December 31, 1998.
2. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing income available to
common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the period. Diluted net income per common share is consistent with the
calculation of basic net income per common share while giving effect to dilutive
potential common shares outstanding during the period. For all periods
presented, dilutive potential common shares consisted entirely of stock options.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, the weighted average dilutive
potential common shares from Common Stock Warrants of 671,770 and 642,232,
respectively, are excluded from the diluted net income per common share
calculation as the events necessary to allow the exercise of the warrants had
not been satisfied as of June 30, 1998.
3. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
In 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", which establishes standards for reporting
and display of comprehensive income and its components in a financial statement
for the period in which they are recognized. The Company's comprehensive income
was as follows (in thousands):

4. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In October 1996, a former senior vice president of CSG Systems filed a lawsuit
against the Company and certain of its officers in the District Court of
Arapahoe County, Colorado. The suit claimed that certain amendments to stock
agreements between the plaintiff and the Company were unenforceable, and that
the plaintiff's rights were otherwise violated in connection with those
amendments. The plaintiff was seeking
6
damages of approximately $2.0 million, and in addition, sought to have such
damages trebled under certain Colorado statutes that the plaintiff claimed were
applicable. In June 1998, the Company settled this matter, the effect of which
was not material to the Company.
5. RECLASSIFICATION OF PRIOR PERIOD AMOUNTS
Certain December 31, 1997 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
June 30, 1998 presentation.
6. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and for Hedging Activities" (SFAS No. 133). The Statement establishes
accounting and reporting standards requiring every derivative instrument, as
defined, to be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability
measured at its fair value. The Statement requires that changes in the
derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific
hedge accounting criteria are met. SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal
quarters for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. Adoption of the
Statement is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.
7. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On July 30, 1998, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of US
Telecom Advanced Technology Systems, Inc. (USTATS) for approximately $6.0
million in cash and assumption of certain liabilities of approximately $1.2
million. USTATS, a South Carolina-based company, specializes in open systems,
client/server customer care and billing systems serving the telecommunications
markets. The cash portion of the purchase price was paid out of corporate
funds. The Company expects a significant portion of the purchase price will be
allocated to in-process R&D, and accordingly, will be expensed in the third
quarter of 1998. In-process R&D represents research and development of software
technologies which have not reached technological feasibility as of the
acquisition date, and have no other alternative future use.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997
Revenues. Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1998, increased
32.2% to $54.2 million, from $41.0 million for the three months ended June 30,
1997, due to increased revenues from the Company's processing and related
services, and increased revenues from software and related product sales and
professional consulting services.
Revenues from processing and related services for the three months ended June
30, 1998, increased 36.8% to $44.1 million, from $32.2 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1997. Of the total increase in revenue, approximately 70%
resulted from an increase in the number of customers of the Company's clients
which were serviced by the Company and approximately 30% was due to increased
revenue per customer. Customers serviced as of June 30, 1998, and 1997,
respectively, were 25.4 million and 20.0 million, an increase of 26.7%. The
increase in the number of customers serviced was due to the conversion of
additional customers by new and existing clients to the Company's systems, and
internal customer growth experienced by existing clients. From April 1, 1998
through June 30, 1998, the Company converted and processed approximately 1.9
million additional customers on its systems. Revenue per customer increased due
primarily to (i) the 15-year Tele-Communications, Inc. (TCI) processing contract
(the TCI Contract) executed in September 1997, (ii) increased usage of ancillary
services by clients, and (iii) price increases included in client contracts.
Revenues from software and related product sales and professional consulting
services for the three months ended June 30, 1998, increased 15.4% to $10.1
million, from $8.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997. This
increase relates primarily to the continued growth of the Company's software
products and related product sales.
Amortization of Acquired Software. Amortization of acquired software decreased
to zero for the three months ended June 30, 1998, from $2.9 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1997, due to acquired software from the Company's
leveraged buy-out of CSG Systems, Inc. (the Acquisition) in November 1994
becoming fully amortized as of November 30, 1997.
Amortization of Client Contracts and Related Intangibles. Amortization of
client contracts and related intangibles for the three months ended June 30,
1998, increased 15.0% to $1.2 million, from $1.0 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1997. The increase in expense is due to $0.4 million of
amortization of the value assigned to the TCI Contract, offset by a decrease of
$0.2 million of amortization due to client conversion methodologies from the
Acquisition becoming fully amortized as of November 30, 1997.
Gross Margin. Gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 1998, increased
54.6% to $29.2 million, from $18.9 million for the three months ended June 30,
1997, due primarily to revenue growth. The gross margin percentage increased to
53.7% for the three months ended June 30, 1998, compared to 46.0% for the three
months ended June 30, 1997. The overall increase in the gross margin percentage
is due primarily to the increase in revenues while the amount of amortization of
acquired software and amortization of client contracts and related intangibles
decreased, and to a lesser degree, the improvement in the gross margin
percentage for processing and related services, due primarily to the increase in
revenue per customer while controlling the cost of delivering such services.
Research and Development Expense. Research and development (R&D) expense for
the three months ended June 30, 1998, increased 16.9% to $6.8 million, from $5.8
million for the three months ended June 30, 1997. As a percentage of total
revenues, R&D expense decreased to 12.5% for the three months ended June 30,
1998, from 14.1% for the three months ended June 30, 1997.
During the three months ended June 30, 1997, the Company capitalized software
development costs of approximately $3.7 million, which consisted of $2.8 million
of internal development costs and $0.9 million of purchased software. The
Company capitalized third party, contracted costs of approximately $0.8 million
during the three months ended June 30, 1998, related primarily to enhancements
to existing products. As a
9
result, total R&D development expenditures (i.e., the total R&D costs expensed,
plus the capitalized development costs) for the three months ended June 30, 1998
and 1997, were $7.6 million, or 14.1% of total revenues, and $8.6 million, or
21.0% of total revenues, respectively. The overall decrease in the R&D
expenditures between periods is due primarily to effective control of
development costs, primarily the reduction of third-party, contracted
programming services.
Selling and Marketing Expense. Selling and marketing (S&M) expense for the
three months ended June 30, 1998, decreased 4.4% to $2.6 million, from $2.8
million for the three months ended June 30, 1997. As a percentage of total
revenues, S&M expense decreased to 4.9% for the three months ended June 30,
1998, from 6.7% for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The overall decrease
in S&M expenses as a percentage of total revenues is due primarily to increased
revenues, while controlling S&M costs.
General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative (G&A) expense
for the three months ended June 30, 1998, increased 20.6% to $5.6 million, from
$4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997. As a percentage of total
revenues, G&A expense decreased to 10.3% for the three months ended June 30,
1998, from 11.4% for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The increase in G&A
expenses relates primarily to the continued expansion of the Company's
administrative staff and other administrative costs to support the Company's
overall growth. The decrease in G&A expenses as a percentage of total revenues
is due primarily to increased revenues, while controlling G&A costs.
Amortization of Noncompete Agreements and Goodwill. Amortization of noncompete
agreements and goodwill for the three months ended June 30, 1998, decreased
22.2%, to $1.3 million, from $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30,
1997. The decrease in amortization expense is due primarily to a write-down of
certain intangible assets in the fourth quarter of 1997.
Depreciation Expense. Depreciation expense for the three months ended June 30,
1998, increased 16.2% to $2.0 million, from $1.7 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1997. The increase in expense relates to capital expenditures
made throughout 1997 and the first six months of 1998 in support of the overall
growth of the Company, consisting principally of computer hardware and related
equipment and statement processing equipment and related facilities.
Operating Income. Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 1998,
was $10.7 million or 19.7% of total revenues, compared to $2.1 million or 5.2%
of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The increase
between years relates to the factors discussed above.
The Company incurred certain one-time or acquisition-related charges
(Acquisition Charges) in connection with the Acquisition in November 1994. The
Acquisition Charges include amortization of acquired software, client contracts
and related intangibles, noncompete agreement, goodwill, and stock-based
compensation. Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and
1997, excluding Acquisition Charges of $2.1 million and $5.4 million, was $12.8
million or 23.5% of total revenues, and $7.5 million or 18.4% of total revenues,
respectively. See the Company's "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contained in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997, for additional
discussion regarding the Acquisition Charges and the impact of such charges on
operations.
Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 1998,
increased 299.7% to $2.5 million, from $0.6 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1997, with the increase attributable primarily to the financing of the
Company's acquisition of the SUMMITrak assets in September 1997.
Interest Income. Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 1998,
increased 184.9% to $0.5 million, from $0.2 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1997, with the increase attributable primarily to an increase in
operating funds available for investment and, to a lesser degree, an increase in
interest charges on aged customer accounts.
10
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997
Revenues. Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1998, increased
30.1% to $103.5 million, from $79.6 million for the six months ended June 30,
1997, due to increased revenues from the Company's processing and related
services, and increased revenues from software and related product sales and
professional consulting services.
Revenues from processing and related services for the six months ended June 30,
1998, increased 33.3% to $83.9 million, from $63.0 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1997. Of the total increase in revenue, approximately 64%
resulted from an increase in the number of customers of the Company's clients
which were serviced by the Company and approximately 36% was due to increased
revenue per customer. The increase in the number of customers serviced was due
to the conversion of additional customers by new and existing clients to the
Company's systems, and internal customer growth experienced by existing clients.
From January 1, 1998 through June 30, 1998, the Company converted and processed
approximately 4.2 million additional customers on its systems. Revenue per
customer increased due primarily to (i) the TCI Contract executed in September
1997, (ii) increased usage of ancillary services by clients, and (iii) price
increases included in client contracts.
Revenues from software and related product sales and professional consulting
services for the six months ended June 30, 1998, increased 17.9% to $19.6
million, from $16.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. This
increase relates to the continued growth of the Company's software products and
related product sales and professional consulting services.
Amortization of Acquired Software. Amortization of acquired software decreased
to zero for the six months ended June 30, 1998, from $5.8 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1997, due to acquired software from the Acquisition in
November 1994 becoming fully amortized as of November 30, 1997.
Amortization of Client Contracts and Related Intangibles. Amortization of
client contracts and related intangibles for the six months ended June 30, 1998,
increased 9.7% to $2.2 million, from $2.0 million for the six months ended June
30, 1997. The increase in expense is due to $0.7 million of amortization of the
value assigned to the TCI Contract, offset by a decrease of $0.5 million of
amortization due to client conversion methodologies from the Acquisition
becoming fully amortized as of November 30, 1997.
Gross Margin. Gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 1998, increased
58.2% to $55.3 million, from $35.0 million for the six months ended June 30,
1997, due primarily to revenue growth. The gross margin percentage increased to
53.4% for the six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to 43.8% for the six
months ended June 30, 1997. The overall increase in the gross margin percentage
is due primarily to the increase in revenues while the amount of amortization of
acquired software and amortization of client contracts and related intangibles
decreased, and to a lesser degree, the improvement in the gross margin
percentage for processing and related services, due primarily to the increase in
revenue per customer while controlling the cost of delivering such services.
Research and Development Expense. R&D expense for the six months ended June 30,
1998, increased 24.9% to $13.3 million, from $10.7 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1997. As a percentage of total revenues, R&D expense decreased
to 12.9% for the six months ended June 30, 1998, from 13.4% for the six months
ended June 30, 1997.
During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company capitalized software
development costs of approximately $6.8 million, which consisted of $5.6 million
of internal development costs and $1.2 million of purchased software. The
Company capitalized third party, contracted costs of approximately $1.4 million
during the six months ended June 30, 1998, related primarily to enhancements to
existing products. As a result, total R&D development expenditures (i.e., the
total R&D costs expensed, plus the capitalized development costs) for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, were $14.7 million, or 14.2% of total
11
revenues, and $16.3 million, or 20.4% of total revenues, respectively. The
overall decrease in the R&D expenditures between periods is due primarily to
effective control of development costs, primarily the reduction of third-party,
contracted programming services.
Selling and Marketing Expense. S&M expense for the six months ended June 30,
1998, decreased 1.3% to $5.0 million, from $5.1 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1997. As a percentage of total revenues, S&M expense decreased to 4.9%
for the six months ended June 30, 1998, from 6.4% for the six months ended June
30, 1997. The overall decrease in S&M expenses as a percentage of total
revenues is due primarily to increased revenues, while controlling S&M costs.
General and Administrative Expense. G&A expense for the six months ended June
30, 1998, increased 27.7% to $11.2 million, from $8.8 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1997. As a percentage of total revenues, G&A expense decreased
to 10.8% for the six months ended June 30, 1998, from 11.0% for the six months
ended June 30, 1997. The increase in G&A expenses relates primarily to the
continued expansion of the Company's administrative staff and other
administrative costs to support the Company's overall growth. The decrease in
G&A expenses as a percentage of total revenues is due primarily to increased
revenue, while controlling G&A costs.
Amortization of Noncompete Agreements and Goodwill. Amortization of noncompete
agreements and goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 1998, decreased 22.4%,
to $2.7 million, from $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The
decrease in amortization expense is due primarily to a write-down of certain
intangible assets in the fourth quarter of 1997.
Depreciation Expense. Depreciation expense for the six months ended June 30,
1998, increased 18.9% to $3.8 million, from $3.2 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1997. The increase in expense relates to capital expenditures
made throughout 1997 and the first six months of 1998 in support of the overall
growth of the Company, consisting principally of computer hardware and related
equipment and statement processing equipment and related facilities.
Operating Income. Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 1998, was
$19.1 million or 18.4% of total revenues, compared to $3.4 million or 4.3% of
total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The increase between
years relates to the factors discussed above.
Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, excluding
Acquisition Charges of $4.1 million and $11.0 million, was $23.2 million or
22.4% of total revenues, and $14.4 million or 18.1% of total revenues,
respectively.
Interest Expense. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1998,
increased 298.4% to $5.0 million, from $1.3 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1997, with the increase attributable primarily to the financing of the
Company's acquisition of the SUMMITrak assets in September 1997.
Interest Income. Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1998,
increased 200.5% to $1.1 million, from $0.4 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1997, with the increase attributable primarily to an increase in
operating funds available for investment and an increase in interest charges on
aged customer accounts.
Significant Customers
- ---------------------
During the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, revenues from TCI
represented approximately 38.5% and 25.4% of total revenues, and
revenues from Time Warner Cable and its affiliated companies (Time Warner)
represented 17.8% and 19.5% of total revenues, respectively. The increase in
the TCI percentage between periods relates primarily to the additional TCI
customers converted to the Company's systems as a result of the 15-year TCI
Contract executed in September 1997. The decrease in the Time Warner percentage
between periods results from a larger total revenue base for the Company, as
total revenues from Time Warner increased between periods. The Company has
separate processing
12
agreements with multiple affiliates of Time Warner and provides products and
services to them under separately negotiated and executed contracts.
Income Taxes
- ------------
At June 30, 1998, the Company concluded that it was more likely than not that
certain of the Company's deferred tax assets would be realized. Accordingly, the
Company has recognized a net deferred tax asset of approximately $13.7 million.
The Company has recorded a valuation allowance of approximately $53.8 million
against the remaining net deferred tax assets since realization of these future
benefits is not sufficiently assured as of June 30, 1998.
The Company intends to analyze the realizability of the net deferred tax assets
at each future quarterly reporting period. The current quarterly results of
operations, as well as the Company's projected results of operations, will
determine the required valuation allowance at the end of each quarter. Based on
its current projections of operating results for 1998, the Company expects to
pay U.S. income taxes and realize additional deferred tax assets in 1998. As a
result, the Company does not expect income tax expense for 1998 to be
significant.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
As of June 30, 1998, the Company's principal sources of liquidity included cash
and cash equivalents of $26.2 million. The Company also has a revolving credit
facility in the amount of $40.0 million, of which there were no borrowings
outstanding. The Company's ability to borrow under the revolving credit
facility is subject to maintenance of certain levels of eligible receivables.
At June 30, 1998, $39.2 million of the $40.0 million revolving credit facility
was available to the Company based on the current level of eligible receivables.
The revolving credit facility expires in September 2002.
As of June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively, the Company had $55.3
million and $44.7 million in net trade accounts receivable, an increase of $10.6
million, with the increase primarily a result of the Company's revenue growth.
The Company's trade accounts receivable balance includes billings for several
non-revenue items, such as postage, communication lines, travel and
entertainment reimbursements, sales tax, and deferred items. As a result, the
Company evaluates its performance in collecting its accounts receivable through
its calculation of days billings outstanding (DBO) rather than a typical days
sales outstanding (DSO) calculation. DBO is calculated based on the billing for
the period (including non-revenue items) divided by the average net trade
accounts receivable balance for the period. Some of the Company's most recent
DBO calculations are as follows:
For the Month For the Quarter
Ended Ended
------------- ---------------
June 30, 1998............. 54 58
March 31, 1998............ 59 59
December 31, 1997......... 58 54
During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company generated $13.3 million
of net cash flow from operating activities. Cash generated from these sources
and the proceeds of $2.7 million from the issuance of common stock through the
Company's stock incentive plans were used (i) to fund capital expenditures of
$6.6 million, (ii) to fund additions to software of $1.4 million, and (iii) to
repay long-term debt of $2.3 million.
Earnings from operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
(EBITDA) for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was $28.4 million or 27.4% of
total revenues, compared to $18.8 million or 23.7% of total revenues for the six
months ended June 30, 1997. EBITDA is presented here as a measure of the
Company's debt service ability and is not intended to represent cash flows for
the periods.
The Company financed the SUMMITrak asset acquisition with a $150.0 million term
credit facility in
13
September 1997. In December 1997, the Company made an optional principal payment
on the term credit facility of $15.0 million. Interest rates for the term and
revolving credit facilities are chosen at the option of the Company and are
based on the LIBOR rate or the prime rate, plus an additional percentage spread,
with the spread dependent upon the Company's leverage ratio. For the three
months ended March 31, 1998, the spread on the LIBOR rate and prime rate was 1.0
percent and 0 percent, respectively. Based on the Company's leverage ratio as of
March 31, 1998, the spread on the LIBOR rate was reduced to 0.75 percent,
effective April 1, 1998.
The loan agreement restricts, among other things, the payment of dividends or
other types of distributions on any class of the Company's stock unless the
Company's leverage ratio, as defined in the loan agreement, is under 1.50. As
of June 30, 1998, the leverage ratio was 2.19.
The purchase price for the SUMMITrak assets acquired in September 1997 included
up to $26.0 million in conversion incentive payments. The timing of the
conversion incentive payments is based upon the achievement of certain milestone
by TCI and the Company, as specified in the SUMMITrak asset acquisition
agreement. The milestones are based principally upon the number of TCI's
customers converted to, and the total number of TCI customers processed on, the
Company's customer care and billing system. Total payments as of June 30, 1998
have been approximately $0.6 million. Based on the conversions performed to
date and the future conversions scheduled as of June 30, 1998, the Company
expects to pay $22.5 million to TCI within the next 12 months, with the
remaining amount payable by the end of the third quarter of 1999.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company evaluates potential acquisitions
of assets and businesses that may provide the technology and technical personnel
to expedite the Company's product development efforts, provide complementary
products or services, or provide access to new markets or clients. On July 30,
1998, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of US Telecom
Advanced Technology Systems, Inc. (USTATS) for approximately $6.0 million in
cash and assumption of certain liabilities of approximately $1.2 million.
USTATS, a South Carolina-based company, specializes in open systems,
client/server customer care and billing systems serving the telecommunications
markets. The cash portion of the purchase price was paid out of corporate
funds. The Company expects a significant portion of the purchase price will be
allocated to in-process R&D, and accordingly, will be expensed in the third
quarter of 1998. In-process R&D represents research and development of software
technologies which have not reached technological feasibility as of the
acquisition date, and have no other alternative future use.
The Company continues to make significant investments in capital equipment,
facilities, and research and development. The Company had no significant
capital commitments as of June 30, 1998. The Company believes that cash
generated from operations, together with the current cash and cash equivalents
and the amount available under the revolving credit facility, will be sufficient
to meet its anticipated cash requirements for operations, income taxes, debt
service, conversion incentive payments and capital expenditures for both its
short and long-term purposes.
Year 2000
- ---------
In 1995, the Company began efforts to identify and assess any issues associated
with its software's ability to properly utilize dates and process data beyond
the year 2000. The Company recognizes that the failure to properly and timely
address issues surrounding the year 2000 could have a material impact on its
operations, and as a result it appointed a project team to undertake a Company-
wide study to determine the full scope and related costs to the Company of
ensuring that its systems can continue to meet the Company's internal needs, as
well as those of its customers. The Company's year 2000 project team is
communicating with vendors and customers to coordinate year 2000 conversion and
continues to report to the Company's management the progress on year 2000
compliance. The Company currently believes that it will be able to effectively
mitigate risks associated with the year 2000 and that its Company-wide year 2000
project will be substantially complete by the end of the fourth quarter of 1998.
The Company does not expect the costs to make its systems year 2000 compliant to
be material to its financial condition or results of operations. The Company is
analyzing the disclosure requirements recently released by the Securities and
Exchange Commission in August 1998, and will adopt those disclosure requirements
in the third quarter of 1998.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In October 1996, a former senior vice president of CSG Systems filed a
lawsuit against the Company and certain of its officers in the
District Court of Arapahoe County, Colorado. The suit claimed that
