invest in our business," said Peter Kalan, chief executive officer and

revenues through our North American cable market share wins and with our
early successes on our international managed services business. Next, we
are the go-to provider for any company looking to monetize their video
and digital services in new ways. Third, we are able to expand our
margins through the scale of our processing business and through prudent
cost management. And finally, with the visibility that we have into our
business, we are increasing our share buyback and dividend while
maintaining the flexibility to use our balance sheet to be opportunistic
with our investments in the business."

Results of Operations
Revenues: Total revenues for the
fourth quarter of 2014 were $193.7 million, a slight decrease when
compared to revenues of $194.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2013,
and a 5% increase when compared to $185.0 million for the third quarter
of 2014. The sequential quarterly increase can be attributed to the
stronger revenues CSG typically experiences during the fourth quarter.
Total revenues for the full year 2014 were $751.3 million, a 1% increase
when compared to revenues of $747.5 million for the full year 2013. The
year-over-year increase in annual revenues is due mainly to the strong
growth in processing revenues CSG experienced during 2014, which more
than offset lower software and services revenues for the year and the
$13 million year-over-year impact of two business divestitures completed
in the second half of 2013.
Non-GAAP Results: Non-GAAP operating
income for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $32.1 million, or 16.6% of
total revenues, compared to $35.8 million, or 18.4%, for the fourth
quarter of 2013. Non-GAAP operating income for the third quarter of 2014
was $29.9 million, or 16.2% of total revenues.
Non-GAAP operating income for the full year 2014 was $121.7 million, or
16.2% of total revenues, which compares to $123.2 million, or 16.5% of
total revenues for the full year 2013.
Non-GAAP EPS for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $0.61, compared to $0.63
for the fourth quarter of 2013, and $0.49 for the third quarter of 2014.
This 2014 fourth quarter EPS amount included a $0.05 benefit related to
a better than expected income tax rate for the quarter of 34%, compared
to the previous expectation of 40%. The sequential quarterly increase in
non-GAAP EPS can be attributed to a lower non-GAAP effective income tax
rate for the quarter, and the higher sequential revenues between
periods. Non-GAAP EPS for the full year 2014 was $2.12, compared to
non-GAAP EPS of $2.21 for the full year 2013, with the decrease due to
higher diluted shares outstanding, and to a lesser degree, a slightly
higher non-GAAP effective income tax rate.
GAAP Results: GAAP operating income
for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $19.1 million, or 9.9% of total
revenues, compared to $16.4 million, or 8.4%, for the same period in
2013. GAAP operating income for the full year 2014 was $75.7 million, or
10.1% of total revenues, compared to $76.7 million, or 10.3% of total
revenues for the full year 2013.
GAAP EPS for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $0.38, compared to $0.27 for
the fourth quarter of 2013. GAAP EPS for the full year 2014 was $1.10,
compared to $1.56 for the full year 2013, with the 2013 GAAP EPS
benefiting from an unusually low tax rate of 17%, which provided a
benefit of $0.42 per diluted share.

|
Cash flows from operations for the full year 2014 compared to 2013
were lower due primarily to the following tax benefits realized in
2013: (i) reduction of certain tax allowances related to foreign
operations; (ii) incremental R&D income tax credits claimed for
development activities from previous years; and (iii) recognition of
the 2012 R&D tax credits that were recognized in the first quarter
of 2013 since the credit legislation was passed by Congress in
January 2013.
|
|
(3)
|
|
Cash flows from changes in operating assets and liabilities for the
full year 2014 were negatively impacted by unfavorable changes in
working capital items, primarily related to the increases in trade
accounts receivable and income tax payments.

|
|
|
Capital Planning Initiatives
CSG announced an increase in its capital allocation to shareholders, and
an improvement in its capital structure, which includes the following
key items:
-
An 11% increase in CSG's current annual dividend from $0.63 per share
to $0.70 per share, effective with the first quarterly dividend of
$0.1750 per share recently declared by the Board in January, for
payment on March 26, 2015. This will result in an expected total
dividend payout for the full year 2015 of approximately $23 million.
-
An increase in planned share repurchases of up to $150 million under
its Share Repurchase Program over the next three years, which
represents approximately 20% of the value of its current outstanding
shares, facilitated by the following:
-
A 7.5 million increase in the number of authorized shares under
CSG's Board-approved Share Repurchase Plan, bringing the total
number of remaining authorized shares under the program to
approximately 9 million shares.
-
Under CSG's plan, it may repurchase the shares in the open market
or in privately negotiated transactions, including through an
accelerated stock repurchase (ASR) plan or under a Rule 10b5-1
plan. The actual timing and amount of share repurchases will be
dependent on then current market conditions and other
business-related factors.
-
The first $50 million of repurchases for 2015 are expected to be
completed through an ASR plan, which is expected to be executed
within the next few weeks.
-
CSG recently amended its current credit agreement, with the key terms
of the amendment including an extension of the term of the agreement
through January 2020, and upsizing the revolving credit facility from
the previous level of $100 million to $200 million going forward. The
amended credit agreement provides CSG with additional capital
capacity, and flexibility in managing its capital structure over the
next five years, including options to settle its convertible debt that
matures in early 2017.
"Overall, these actions reflect the strength and confidence CSG has in
its business, and our commitment to return value to our shareholders,"
said Randy Wiese, chief financial officer.

EXHIBIT 2 CSG SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL, INC. 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, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA,
and non-GAAP free cash flow. 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;
-
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.

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:
-
Restructuring and reorganization charges are infrequent expenses that
result from cost reduction initiatives and/or significant changes to
CSG's business, to include such things as involuntary employee
terminations, changes in management structure, divestitures of
businesses, facility consolidations and abandonments, and fundamental
reorganizations impacting operational focus and direction. These
charges 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 financial results with
historical and future periods.
-
Acquisition-related charges relate to direct and incremental expenses
related to business acquisitions, and thus, are not considered
reflective of CSG's recurring core business operating results. These
charges typically include expenses related to legal, accounting, and
other professional services. 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 equity awards
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 date the equity award is
granted, 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, 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 acquired intangible assets (e.g., software, client
relationships, etc.), 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 results of
operations, 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.
-
Unusual items within CSG's quarterly and/or annual income tax expense
can occur from such things as income tax accounting timing matters,
income taxes related to unusual events, 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.
CSG also reports non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP free cash flow.
Management believes non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure to
investors in evaluating CSG's operating performance, liquidity, debt
servicing capabilities, and enterprise valuation. CSG defines non-GAAP
adjusted EBITDA as income before interest, income taxes, depreciation,
amortization, stock-based compensation, foreign currency transaction
adjustments, and unusual items, such as restructuring and reorganization
charges, as discussed above. Additionally, management uses non-GAAP free
cash flow, among other measures, to assess its financial performance and
cash generating capabilities, and believes that it is useful to
investors because it shows CSG's cash available to service debt, make
strategic acquisitions and investments, repurchase its common stock, pay
cash dividends, and fund ongoing operations. CSG defines non-GAAP free
cash flow as net cash flows from operating activities less the purchases
of property and equipment.

These items (on a pretax basis) are calculated in accordance with
GAAP, and are reflected as part of the results of operations in the
accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
|
|
(2)
|
|
Non-GAAP EPS is calculated by taking the non-GAAP income before
income taxes and deducting from this amount non-GAAP income taxes
calculated by using the non-GAAP effective income tax rate for the
period, and then dividing the result of this calculation by the
outstanding diluted shares for the period.
|
|
(3)
|
|
For the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2014, the GAAP
effective income tax rate was 24% and 40%, respectively, the
non-GAAP effective income tax rate was approximately 34% and 37%,
respectively, and the outstanding diluted shares were 33.4 million
and 33.7 million, respectively. The fourth quarter difference
between the GAAP and the non-GAAP effective income tax rate relates
primarily to the timing of the 2014 R&D tax credit legislation. The
anticipated quarterly benefit of the credits is included in each of
the quarters of 2014 for non-GAAP purposes; however, the fourth
quarter GAAP tax rate reflects the entire benefit of the full year
impact of the R&D tax credits, as the legislation was not passed
until December.
|
|
(4)
|
|
For the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2013, the GAAP
effective income tax rate was 27% and 17%, respectively, the
non-GAAP effective income tax rate was approximately 36% for both
periods, and the outstanding diluted shares were 33.8 million and
32.9 million, respectively.
|
|
|
|
The GAAP effective income tax rate for the quarter and year ended
December 31, 2013 benefited from the following items, which are excluded
from our non-GAAP effective income tax rates for these same periods:
-
the reduction of certain tax allowances related to foreign operations,
which provided a benefit of approximately $0.08 per diluted share for
the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2013;
-
incremental R&D income tax credits claimed in the third quarter of
2013 for development activities from previous years, which provided a
benefit of approximately $0.17 per diluted share for the year ended
December 31, 2013; and
-
the recognition of the 2012 R&D tax credits of approximately $0.17 per
diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2013, that were
recognized for GAAP purposes in the first quarter of 2013 since the
credit legislation was passed by Congress in January 2013.

Non-GAAP Operating Income Margin:
The reconciliation of GAAP operating income margin to non-GAAP operating
income margin, as included in CSG's 2015 full year financial guidance,
is as follows:
|
|
2015 Guidance

|
Non-GAAP operating income margin ("approximately 16.5%")
|
|

These items (on a pretax basis) are calculated in accordance with
GAAP, and will be reflected as part of the results of operations in
CSG's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
|
|
(10)
|
|
|
Non-GAAP EPS is calculated by taking the non-GAAP income before
income taxes and deducting from this amount non-GAAP income taxes
calculated by using the non-GAAP effective income tax rate for the
period, and then dividing the result of this calculation by the
outstanding diluted shares for the period.
|
|
(11)
|
|
|
For 2015, the estimated effective income tax rate for non-GAAP
purposes is expected to be approximately 37%, which assumes Congress
will approve the 2015 R&D income tax credit legislation prior to the
end of 2015. The weighted-average diluted shares outstanding are
expected to be 32.0 million.
