Reiterates Outlook for Full Year 2025Announces Term Extension of Credit Facility

AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TTEC Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTEC), a leading global CX (customer experience) technology and services innovator for AI-enabled CX with solutions from TTEC Engage and TTEC Digital, announced today financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

"Our third quarter 2025 financial performance delivered to plan as we continue to balance operational excellence with investments in innovation and growth. As expected, our Engage third quarter profitability was down compared to the prior year. This short-term decline was the result of expenses ahead of our fourth quarter healthcare seasonal ramps and planned investments for future growth. Consequently, our Engage operating margins this quarter do not reflect the momentum we are seeing in the underlying business. Our digital first approach that blends AI and analytics with CX technical expertise and operational excellence continues to resonate in the market with both new and existing clients," commented Ken Tuchman, chairman and chief executive officer of TTEC.

"In TTEC Engage, we added new significant clients, expanded our existing client relationships with our full portfolio of CX services, and deployed AI in over a hundred programs across numerous customers. In TTEC Digital, we closed many meaningful new clients this quarter and grew our professional services revenue with our AI focused partners. Looking ahead, every organization today faces an immediate mandate to transform. With our end-to-end AI-enabled technology and services platform, we are well-positioned to drive each client's vision forward," Tuchman continued.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

“Although our third quarter results reflect a decline in profitability compared to the prior year, they were in line with our expectations. In TTEC Digital, we continue to diversify and scale with our CX technology partners as the market shifts from legacy infrastructure to enterprise-wide digital transformations in the cloud. We are pleased with the growth from our new partnerships, recognizing the remix is creating temporary pressure on the segment’s revenue and profit margins. In TTEC Engage, the profitability decline was expected as we incurred up-front expenses to grow key clients and ramp for higher fourth quarter healthcare seasonality. We are confident the Engage fourth quarter profitability will deliver year over year growth both in the quarter and for the second half of the year,” commented Kenny Wagers, chief financial officer of TTEC.

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.
