BUSINESS OUTLOOK

“Our third quarter financial results delivered strong profitable growth across both segments, reflecting our disciplined execution of our 2026 priorities. In Engage, our continued focus on right shoring delivery, rationalizing and improving underperforming client programs, managing costs and driving operational efficiencies is resulting in margin improvement. Our Digital segment continues to perform in line with expectations with solid double-digit expansion in our growth practices. As a result, we expect the fourth quarter to continue to reflect higher margins both sequentially and year-over-year for both segments,” commented Kenny Wagers, chief financial officer of TTEC.

Wagers continued, “The third quarter also delivered solid cash flow as we continue to deleverage our balance sheet. Year to date, we have generated approximately $88 million of free cash flow and reduced our net debt by over $81 million, ending in a net debt position of $744 million. We successfully amended our credit facility, extending the maturity date to the fourth quarter of 2028, providing us flexibility to continue to execute on our strategic priorities.”

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 2026 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, and amortization of purchased intangibles, among other items.
