BUSINESS OUTLOOK

“We are pleased with our full year 2025 financial performance, increasing our profitability and expanding our margins across both segments, despite an overall modest decline in revenue. We also significantly increased our free cash flow and reduced our borrowings, reflecting our commitment to further deleverage and strengthen our balance sheet. This was accomplished against the backdrop of an evolving market in both our Engage and Digital segments,” commented Kenny Wagers, chief financial officer of TTEC.

Wagers continued, “We are well positioned to further increase our EBITDA and operating income, expand our margins, and reduce our debt in 2026, as we remain focused on higher value transformational engagements across both segments. We have the discipline and confidence to deliver on our 2026 full year outlook.”   

The company has not quantitatively reconciled its guidance for Non-GAAP operating income, Non-GAAP operating income margins, Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margins, Non-GAAP adjusted tax rate, or Non-GAAP earnings per share to their respective most comparable GAAP measures because certain of the reconciling items that impact these metrics, including restructuring and impairment charges, equity-based compensation expense, changes in acquisition contingent consideration, depreciation and amortization expense, and provision for income taxes are dependent on the timing of future events outside of the Company’s control or cannot be reliably predicted. Accordingly, the Company is unable to provide reconciliations to GAAP operating income, operating income margins, EBITDA margins, and diluted earnings per share without unreasonable effort. Please note that the unavailable reconciling items could significantly impact the Company’s 2025 financial results as reported under GAAP.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This press release contains a discussion of certain Non-GAAP financial measures that the company includes to allow investors and analysts to measure, analyze and compare its financial condition and results of operations in a meaningful and consistent manner. A reconciliation of these Non-GAAP financial measures can be found in the tables accompanying this press release.

• GAAP metrics are presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

• Non-GAAP - As reflected in the attached reconciliation table, the definition of Non-GAAP may exclude from operating income, EBITDA, net income and earnings per share restructuring and impairment charges, equity-based compensation expenses, amortization of purchased intangibles, among other items.
