NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

(1) OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Summary of Business

TeleTech Holdings, Inc. (“TeleTech” or “the Company”) is a leading provider of customer strategy, analytics-driven and technology-enabled customer engagement management solutions with 40,000 employees delivering services across 25 countries from 53 delivery centers on five continents.

We have deep industry expertise and serve more than 250 customer-focused industry leaders in the Global 1000. Our business is structured and reported in four segments: Customer Management Services (“CMS”), Customer Growth Services (“CGS”), Customer Technology Services (“CTS”), and Customer Strategy Services (“CSS”).

Basis of Presentation

The Consolidated Financial Statements are comprised of the accounts of TeleTech, its wholly owned subsidiaries, its 55% equity owned subsidiary Percepta, LLC, its 80% interest in iKnowtion, LLC, and its 80% interest in Peppers & Rogers Group through the third quarter of 2013 when the final 20% interest was repurchased (see Note 2). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company and the consolidated results of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and the consolidated cash flows of the Company. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.

These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates including those related to derivatives and hedging activities, income taxes including valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, self-insurance reserves, litigation reserves, restructuring reserves, allowance for doubtful accounts, and valuation of goodwill, long-lived and intangible assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant, and Equipment — Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” ASU 2014-08 provides new guidance related to the definition of a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. This new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014 and interim periods within those years. Beginning in 2015, the Company will apply the new guidance, as applicable, to future disposals of components or classifications as held for sale.

Table of Contents

TELETECH HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2014-09 provides new guidance related to how an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, ASU 2014-09 specifies new accounting for costs associated with obtaining or fulfilling contracts with customers and expands the required disclosures related to revenue and cash flows from contracts with customers. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, and can be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption, with early application not permitted. The Company is currently determining its implementation approach and assessing the impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, “Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period”. ASU 2014-12 requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. Beginning in 2016, the Company will apply the new guidance as applicable.

(2) ACQUISITIONS

Sofica

In the first quarter of 2014, the Company acquired a 100% interest in Sofica Group, a Bulgarian joint stock company (“Sofica”). Sofica provides customer lifecycle management and other business process services across multiple channels in multiple sites in over 18 languages.

The estimated purchase price of $13.8 million, included $9.4 million in cash consideration (including a working capital adjustment) and $3.4 million in earn-out payments, payable in 2015 and 2016, contingent on Sofica achieving specified earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) targets, as defined by the stock purchase agreement. Additionally, the estimated purchase price includes a $1.0 million hold-back payment for contingencies as defined in the stock purchase agreement which will be paid in the second quarter of 2016 as required.

The fair value of the contingent payments was measured based on significant inputs not observable in the market (Level 3 inputs). Key assumptions include a discount rate of 22% and expected future value of payments of $4.0 million. The $4.0 million of expected future payments was calculated using a bell curve probability weighted EBITDA assessment with the highest probability associated with Sofica achieving the targeted EBITDA for each earn-out year. As of the acquisition date, the fair value of the contingent consideration was approximately $3.4 million. As of June 30, 2014, the fair value of the contingent consideration was $3.5 million, of which $2.0 million and $1.5 million were included in Other accrued expenses and Other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

The following summarizes the preliminary estimated fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (in thousands). The estimates of fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary, pending completion of a valuation, thus are subject to revisions that may result in adjustments to the values presented below:

	Preliminary Estimate of Acquisition Date Fair Value
Cash	$	857
Accounts receivable	3,175
Other assets	378
Property, plant and equipment	653
Customer relationships	3,531
Goodwill	7,208
	15,802

Accounts payable	296
Accrued employee compensation and benefits	697
Accrued expenses	664
Deferred tax liability and other	368
	2,025

Total purchase price	$	13,777

The Sofica customer relationships have an estimated useful life of five years. The goodwill recognized from the Sofica acquisition was attributable primarily to the acquired workforce of Sofica, expected synergies, and other factors. The tax basis of the acquired intangibles and goodwill are not deductible for income tax purposes. The acquired goodwill and the operating results of Sofica are reported within the CMS segment from the date of acquisition.

WebMetro

In the third quarter of 2013, the Company acquired 100% of WebMetro, a California corporation (“WebMetro”), a digital marketing agency.

The total purchase price was $17.8 million, including $15.3 million in cash consideration (inclusive of a working capital adjustment) and $2.5 million in earn-out payments, payable in 2014 and 2015, contingent on WebMetro achieving specified EBITDA targets, as defined by the stock purchase agreement. The first contingent payment was made in the second quarter of 2014.

Financial Information

The acquired businesses purchased in 2013 and 2014 noted above contributed revenues of $7.9 million and $12.8 million and income from operations of $0.6 million and $0.9 million, inclusive of $0.7 million and $1.3 million of acquired intangible amortization, to the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.

Peppers & Rogers Group

In the third quarter of 2013, the Company acquired the remaining 20% interest in Peppers & Rogers Group (“PRG”) for $425 thousand. The buy-out accelerated TeleTech’s rights pursuant to the sale and purchase agreement to acquire the remaining portion of the business in 2015.

rogenSi

Subsequent to June 30, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement (the “rogenSi Agreement”) to acquire substantially all operating assets of rogenSi Worldwide PTY, Ltd., a global sales and leadership performance training and applied leadership consulting company (the “rogenSi Acquisition”). The total purchase price is $35.7 million, subject to standard working capital adjustments, and consists of $18.0 million in cash at closing and $17.7 million in three earn-out payments, contingent on the acquired companies and TeleTech’s CSS business segment achieving certain agreed EBITDA targets, as defined in the rogenSi Agreement. The earn-out payments are payable in early 2015, 2016 and 2017, based on post closing performance in 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively. We expect the rogenSi Acquisition to close on or before August 31, 2014, subject to customary closing deliverables, representations, warranties and indemnifications.

(3) SEGMENT INFORMATION

(4) SIGNIFICANT CLIENTS AND OTHER CONCENTRATIONS

The Company had one client that contributed in excess of 10% of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014. This client contributed 12.0% and 11.8% of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. This client contributed 11.8% and 11.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. This client had an outstanding receivable balance of $28.6 million and $32.5 million as of June 30, 2014 and 2013.

The loss of one or more of its significant clients could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, or financial condition. The Company does not require collateral from its clients. To limit the Company’s credit risk, management performs periodic credit evaluations of its clients and maintains allowances for uncollectible accounts and may require pre-payment for services. Although the Company is impacted by economic conditions in various industry segments, management does not believe significant credit risk existed as of June 30, 2014.

(UNAUDITED)

The Company performs a goodwill impairment assessment on at least an annual basis. The Company conducts its annual goodwill impairment assessment during the fourth quarter, or more frequently, if indicators of impairment exist.

The Company has identified a triggering event based on the continued decline during the second quarter of 2014 in operating results of the TSG reporting unit within the CTS segment. At June 30, 2014, the Company completed an interim quantitative assessment of this reporting unit’s fair value using an income based approach. Key assumptions used in the fair value calculation include, but are not limited to, a perpetuity growth rate of 3.0% based on the current inflation rate combined with the GDP growth rate for the reporting unit’s geographical region and a discount rate of 19.1%, which is equal to the reporting unit’s equity risk premium adjusted for its size and company specific risk factors. Estimated future cash flows under the income approach are based on the Company’s internal business plan and adjusted as appropriate for the Company’s view of market participant assumptions. The current business plan assumes the occurrence of certain events in the future, such as realignment of operations and reduction of general and administrative costs. Significant differences in some or all of these assumptions may impact the calculated fair value of this reporting unit resulting in impairment to goodwill in a future period. The goodwill attributable to this reporting unit is $23.0 million. As of June 30, 2014, the fair value of this reporting unit exceeds its carrying value by 8%. The Company will continue to review the calculated fair value of this reporting unit until the fair value is substantially in excess of its carrying value.

(6) DERIVATIVES

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company enters into foreign exchange and interest rate related derivatives. Foreign exchange derivatives entered into consist of forward and option contracts to reduce the Company’s exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations that are associated with forecasted revenue earned in foreign locations. Interest rate derivatives consist of interest rate swaps to reduce the Company’s exposure to interest rate fluctuations associated with its variable rate debt. Upon proper qualification, these contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. It is the Company’s policy to only enter into derivative contracts with investment grade counterparty financial institutions, and correspondingly, the fair value of derivative assets consider, among other factors, the creditworthiness of these counterparties. Conversely, the fair value of derivative liabilities reflects the Company’s creditworthiness. As of June 30, 2014, the Company has not experienced, nor does it anticipate, any issues related to derivative counterparty defaults. The following table summarizes the aggregate unrealized net gain or loss in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands and net of tax):

(7) FAIR VALUE

The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires that the Company maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active or can be corroborated by observable market data.

TELETECH HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

The following presents information as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 for the Company’s assets and liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as the fair value hierarchy used to determine their fair value.

Accounts Receivable and Payable - The amounts recorded in the accompanying balance sheets approximate fair value because of their short-term nature.

Debt - The Company’s debt consists primarily of the Company’s Credit Agreement, which permits floating-rate borrowings based upon the current Prime Rate or LIBOR plus a credit spread as determined by the Company’s leverage ratio calculation (as defined in the Credit Agreement). As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had $100.0 million and $100.0 million, respectively, of borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 outstanding borrowings accrued interest at an average rate of 1.2% and 1.2% per annum, respectively, excluding unused commitment fees. The amounts recorded in the accompanying balance sheets approximate fair value due to the variable nature of the debt.

Derivatives - Net derivative assets (liabilities) are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The portfolio is valued using models based on market observable inputs, including both forward and spot foreign exchange rates, interest rates, implied volatility, and counterparty credit risk, including the ability of each party to execute its obligations under the contract. As of June 30, 2014, credit risk did not materially change the fair value of the Company’s derivative contracts.

The following is a summary of the Company’s fair value measurements for its net derivative assets (liabilities) as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in thousands):

Money Market Investments — The Company invests in various well-diversified money market funds which are managed by financial institutions. These money market funds are not publicly traded, but have historically been highly liquid. The value of the money market funds are determined by the banks based upon the funds’ net asset values (“NAV”). As of June 30, 2014, the money market funds permit daily investments and redemptions at a $1.00 NAV.

Deferred Compensation Plan — The Company maintains a non-qualified deferred compensation plan structured as a Rabbi trust for certain eligible employees. Participants in the deferred compensation plan select from a menu of phantom investment options for their deferral dollars offered by the Company each year, which are based upon changes in value of complementary, defined market investments. The deferred compensation liability represents the combined values of market investments against which participant accounts are tracked.

Contingent Consideration — The Company recorded contingent consideration related to the acquisitions of iKnowtion, Guidon, TSG, WebMetro and Sofica. These contingent payables were recognized at fair value using a discounted cash flow approach and a discount rate of 21.0%, 21.0%, 4.6%, 5.3% or 22.0%, respectively. The discount rates vary dependant on the specific risks of each acquisition including the country of operation, the nature of services and complexity of the acquired business, and other similar factors. These measurements were based on significant inputs not observable in the market. The Company will record interest expense each period using the effective interest method until the future value of these contingent payables reaches their expected future value of $13.4 million. Interest expense related to all recorded contingent payables is included in Interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

During the second quarter of 2014, the Company recorded a fair value adjustment of the contingent consideration associated with the TSG reporting unit within the CTS segment based on revised estimates noting achievement of the targeted 2014 EBITDA is remote. Based on this conclusion a $4.0 million reduction in the payable was recorded as of June 30, 2014 and included in Other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

A rollforward of the activity in the Company’s fair value of the contingent consideration is as follows (in thousands):

	December 31, 2013		Acquisitions		Payments			Imputed Interest / Adjustments			June 30, 2014

(8) INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the accounting literature for income taxes, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences of transactions that have been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Quarterly, the Company assesses the likelihood that its net deferred tax assets will be recovered. Based on the weight of all available evidence, both positive and negative, the Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets when it is more-likely-than-not that a future tax benefit will not be realized.

During the first quarter of 2014, a benefit of $1.2 million was recorded due to the closing of statutes of limitations in Canada.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company had $45.5 million of gross deferred tax assets (after an $8.1 million valuation allowance) and net deferred tax assets (after deferred tax liabilities) of $42.1 million related to the U.S. and international tax jurisdictions whose recoverability is dependent upon future profitability.

The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was 23.0% and 17.4%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was 23.3% and 16.6%, respectively.

The Company’s U.S. income tax returns filed for the tax years ending December 31, 2010 to present remain open tax years. The IRS has concluded its audit in the United Sates for tax years 2009, 2011 and 2012 resulting in no changes to the Company’s financial statements or tax liabilities as previously reported. The Company has been notified of the intent to audit, or is currently under audit, of income taxes in Canada for tax years 2009 and 2010 and The Netherlands for tax years 2010 and 2011. On August 1, 2014 we received and are in the process of reviewing a draft report from the taxing authorities in The Netherlands for the tax years under examination. Although the outcome of examinations by taxing authorities are always uncertain, it is the opinion of management that the resolution of these audits will not have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

(9) RESTRUCTURING CHARGES AND IMPAIRMENT LOSSES

Restructuring Charges

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company undertook restructuring activities primarily associated with reductions in the Company’s capacity and workforce in several of its segments to better align the capacity and workforce with current business needs.

A summary of the expenses recorded in Restructuring, net in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, is as follows (in thousands):

The remaining restructuring accruals are expected to be paid or extinguished during 2014 and are all classified as current liabilities within Other accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Impairment Losses

During each of the periods presented, the Company evaluated the recoverability of its leasehold improvement assets at certain delivery centers. An asset is considered to be impaired when the anticipated undiscounted future cash flows of its asset group are estimated to be less than the asset group’s carrying value. The amount of impairment recognized is the difference between the carrying value of the asset group and its fair value. To determine fair value, the Company used Level 3 inputs in its discounted cash flows analysis. Assumptions included the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and assumed discount rates. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recognized no losses related to leasehold improvement assets. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recognized $0.1 million of losses related to leasehold improvement assets in the Customer Management Services segment.

During the second quarter of 2013, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1.1 million related to the PRG trade name intangible asset within the Customer Strategy Services segment. This expense was included in the Impairment losses in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

(10) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Credit Facility

In the second quarter of 2013, the Company entered into a $700.0 million, five-year, multi-currency revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders which includes an accordion feature that permits the Company to request an increase in total commitments up to $1.0 billion, under certain conditions. Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, KeyBank National Association, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, BBVA Compass and HSBC Bank USA, National Association served as Joint Lead Arrangers. The Credit Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Company’s prior credit facility entered into during 2010 and amended in 2012.

The Credit Agreement provides for a secured revolving credit facility that matures on June 3, 2018 with an initial maximum aggregate commitment of $700.0 million. At the Company’s discretion, direct borrowing options under the Credit Agreement include (i) Eurodollar loans with one, two, three, and six month terms, and/or (ii) overnight base rate loans. The Credit Agreement also provides for a sub-limit for loans or letters of credit in both U.S. dollars and certain foreign currencies, with direct foreign subsidiary borrowing capabilities up to 50% of the total commitment amount. The Company may increase the maximum aggregate commitment under the Credit Agreement to $1.0 billion if certain conditions are satisfied, including that the Company is not in default under the Credit Agreement at the time of the increase and that the Company obtains the commitment of the lenders participating in the increase.

The Company primarily utilizes its Credit Agreement to fund working capital, general operations, stock repurchases and other strategic activities, such as the acquisitions described in Note 2. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had borrowings of $100.0 million and $100.0 million, respectively, under its Credit Agreement, and its average daily utilization was $280.5 million and $230.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. After consideration for issued letters of credit under the Credit Agreement, totaling $3.5 million, the Company’s remaining borrowing capacity was $596.5 million as of June 30, 2014. As of June 30, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and conditions under its Credit Agreement.

From time-to-time, the Company has unsecured, uncommitted lines of credit to support working capital for a few foreign subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, no foreign loans were outstanding.

Letters of Credit

As of June 30, 2014, outstanding letters of credit under the Credit Agreement totaled $3.5 million and primarily guaranteed workers’ compensation and other insurance related obligations. As of June 30, 2014, letters of credit and contract performance guarantees issued outside of the Credit Agreement totaled $1.0 million.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company has been involved in legal actions, both as plaintiff and defendant, which arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for exposures associated with such legal actions to the extent that losses are deemed both probable and estimable. To the extent specific reserves have not been made for certain legal proceedings, their ultimate outcome, and consequently, an estimate of possible loss, if any, cannot reasonably be determined at this time.

Based on currently available information and advice received from counsel, the Company believes that the disposition or ultimate resolution of its legal proceedings, except as otherwise specifically reserved for in its financial statements, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

In the fourth quarter of 2012, a class action complaint was filed in the State of California against a TeleTech subsidiary and Google Inc. (“Google”), as co-defendants. Pursuant to its contractual commitments, the Company has agreed to indemnify Google for costs and expenses related to the complaint. The Company settled the matter for an immaterial amount during the first quarter of 2014.

Equity-based compensation expense	13			16
Noncontrolling interest, June 30	$	8,228		$	11,430

(12) MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST

The Company holds an 80% interest in iKnowtion. In the event iKnowtion meets certain EBITDA targets for calendar year 2015, the purchase and sale agreement requires TeleTech to purchase the remaining 20% interest in iKnowtion in 2016 for an amount equal to a multiple of iKnowtion’s 2015 EBITDA as defined in the purchase and sale agreement. These terms represent a contingent redemption feature which the Company determined is probable of being achieved.

The Company has recorded the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest at the redemption value based on the corresponding EBITDA multiples as prescribed in the purchase and sale agreement at the end of each reporting period. At the end of each reporting period the changes in the redemption value are recorded in retained earnings. Since the EBITDA multiples as defined in the purchase and sale agreement are below the current market multiple, the Company has determined that there is no preferential treatment to the noncontrolling interest shareholders resulting in no impact to earnings per share.

For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, options to purchase 0.1 million and 0.1 million shares of common stock, respectively, were outstanding, but not included in the computation of diluted net income per share because the exercise price exceeded the value of the shares and the effect would have been anti—dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, options to purchase 0.1 million and 0.1 million shares of common stock, respectively, were outstanding, but not included in the computation of diluted net income per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) of 0.1 million and 0.2 million, respectively, were outstanding, but not included in the computation of diluted net income per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, RSUs of 0.1 million and 0.5 million, respectively, were outstanding, but not included in the computation of diluted net income per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

(15) EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

(16) DECONSOLIDATION OF SUBSIDIARY

During the second quarter of 2013, the Company concluded that it no longer had controlling influence over Peppers & Rogers Gulf WLL (“PRG Kuwait”), a once consolidated subsidiary in the CSS segment, because the Company was no longer confident that it could exercise its beneficial ownership rights. Upon deconsolidation of PRG Kuwait, the Company wrote off all PRG Kuwait assets and liabilities resulting in a loss of $3.7 million which was recorded during the second quarter of 2013. Effective April 2014, the Company entered into a stock and membership interest purchase agreement with PRG Kuwait’s other shareholders to sell its 48% interest in the company for $175 thousand. It is anticipated the stipulations of the agreement will be finalized and the cash received before December 31, 2014.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Executive Summary

Our revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 was $295 million.

For over thirty years we have helped clients strengthen their customer relationships through strategy, innovation, technology, and process that provide exceptional customer engagement. The results are customer interactions that are more personalized, seamless, and relevant, and in turn improve our clients’ brand recognition and loyalty. Our end-to-end offering originates with the design of data-rich customer-centric strategies, which are then enabled by a suite of technologies and operations that allow for effective management and growth of the economic value of our clients’ customer relationships.

We continue to transform the Company by providing a distinct value proposition through our integrated customer engagement offerings. Our services are value-oriented, outcome-based, and delivered on a global scale across all of our business segments, including Customer Management Services (“CMS”), Customer Growth Services (“CGS”), Customer Technology Services (“CTS”), and Customer Strategy Services (“CSS”).

To improve our competitive position in a rapidly changing market and stay strategically relevant to our clients, we continue to invest in innovation and growth businesses, diversifying our traditional business process outsourcing into high-margined analytics and technology-enabled services. Of the $295 million in revenue we reported in the current period, approximately 26% or $78 million came from our emerging CGS, CTS, and CSS segments.

Consistent with our growth and diversification strategy, we continue to invest in technology differentiation, analytics, cloud computing, digital marketing, and geographic footprint. In first quarter 2014, we acquired Sofica, a customer lifecycle management and business process company based in Central Europe. Subsequent to June 30, 2014, we entered into an agreement to acquire substantially all operating assets of rogenSi Worldwide PTY, Ltd., a global sales and leadership performance training and applied leadership consulting company. In 2013, we acquired WebMetro, a digital marketing agency, and completed the buy-out of a 20% interest in Peppers & Rogers Group, our global strategic consulting business.

Our strong balance sheet, cash flows from operations and access to capital markets have provided us the financial flexibility to effectively fund our organic growth, strategic acquisitions, incremental investments and stock repurchase program.

Business Overview

In the second quarter of 2014, our revenue increased 2.0% to $295.5 million over the same period in 2013 despite a decrease of 2.7% or $7.7 million due to foreign currency fluctuations, primarily the Australian dollar and the Brazilian Real. Revenue, adjusted for the $7.7 million decrease related to foreign exchange, increased by $13.5 million, or 4.7%, over the prior year. This increase was due to both organic revenue growth and our acquisitions. Our second quarter 2014 income from operations increased 5.0% to $20.7 million or 7.0% of revenue, from $19.7 million or 6.8% of revenue in the second quarter of 2013. This increase is due to organic revenue growth, the benefits of increased capacity utilization and income from the recent acquisitions. These were partially offset by a $2.1 million negative impact from foreign currency fluctuations, $0.7 million additional amortization of intangibles related to the acquisitions, and investments in sales and marketing and research and development. Income from operations in the second quarter of 2014 and 2013 included $0.6 million and $3.8 million of restructuring charges and asset impairments, respectively.

Our offshore delivery centers serve clients based in North America and in other countries, and spans four countries with 18,600 workstations and representing 64% of our global delivery capability. Revenue from services provided in these offshore locations was $112 million and represented 44% of our revenue for the second quarter of 2014, as compared to $123 million and 50% of our revenue for second quarter of 2013, with both years excluding revenue from the acquisitions completed outside the CMS and CGS segments.

Table of Contents

Our cash flow from operations and available credit allowed us to finance a significant portion of our capital needs and stock repurchases through internally generated cash flows. At June 30, 2014, we had $97.8 million of cash and cash equivalents, total debt of $106.9 million, and a total debt to total capitalization ratio of 17.9%.

We internally target capacity utilization in our delivery centers at 80% to 90% of our available workstations. As of June 30, 2014, the overall capacity utilization in our multi-client centers was 81%. The table below presents workstation data for our multi-client centers as of June 30, 2014 and 2013. Dedicated and Managed Centers (5,126 and 4,332 workstations, at June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively) are excluded from the workstation data as unused workstations in these facilities are not available for sale. Our utilization percentage is defined as the total number of utilized multi-client production workstations compared to the total number of available multi-client production workstations. We may change the designation of shared or dedicated centers based on the normal changes in our business environment and client needs.

	June 30, 2014				June 30, 2013
	Total Production Workstations	In Use	% In Use		Total Production Workstations	In Use	% In Use

Multi-client centers

Total multi-client centers	23,889	19,357	81	%	23,473	17,718	75	%

We continue to see demand from all geographic regions to utilize our offshore delivery capabilities and expect this trend to continue with our clients. In light of this trend, we plan to continue to selectively retain capacity and expand into new offshore markets. As we grow our offshore delivery capabilities and our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations increases, we continue to actively manage this risk via a multi-currency hedging program designed to minimize operating margin volatility.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We regularly review our estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions, which are based upon historical experience and on various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Reported amounts and disclosures may have been different had management used different estimates and assumptions or if different conditions had occurred in the periods presented.

Management believes there have been no significant policy changes during the six months ended June 30, 2014, to the items we disclosed as our critical accounting policies in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to three months ended June 30, 2013

The tables included in the following sections are presented to facilitate an understanding of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and present certain information by segment for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands). All inter—company transactions between the reported segments for the periods presented have been eliminated.

Customer Management Services

	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2014			2013			$ Change			% Change
Revenue	$	218,683		$	220,641		$	(1,958	)	(0.9	)%
Operating Income	16,493			16,465			28			0.2	%
Operating Margin	7.5		%	7.5		%

The change in revenue for the Customer Management Services segment was attributable to a $12.4 million net increase in client programs and acquisitions offset by program completions of $7.1 million. Revenue was further impacted by a $7.3 million reduction due to foreign currency fluctuations, primarily the Australian dollar and the Brazilian Real.

The operating income as a percentage of revenue remained flat to 7.5% in the second quarter of 2014 as compared to 7.5% in the prior period. Adjusted for the negative $1.9 million of foreign currency impact, the operating income margin increased on operational efficiencies and lower restructuring charges of $0.5 million in the second quarter of 2014 as compared to $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2013.

Customer Growth Services

	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2014			2013			$ Change		% Change
Revenue	$	28,875		$	22,399		$	6,476	28.9	%
Operating Income	1,831			(620		)	2,451		395.3	%
Operating Margin	6.3		%	(2.8		)%

The change in revenue for the Customer Growth Services segment was due to the combination of a net increase in client programs and the acquisition of WebMetro in August 2013 of $7.7 million in an aggregate amount, offset by program completions of $0.9 million, and a $0.3 million reduction due to foreign currency fluctuations.

The operating income as a percentage of revenue increased to 6.3% in the second quarter of 2014 as compared to (2.8)% in the prior period. This increase was primarily driven by program operational improvements and a shift in program mix to additional outcome-based higher margin programs. Included in the operating income was amortization related to acquired intangibles of $0.7 million and $0.2 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Customer Technology Services

	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2014			2013			$ Change			% Change
Revenue	$	35,737		$	36,644		$	(907	)	(2.5	)%
Operating Income	1,616			5,819			(4,203		)	(72.2	)%
Operating Margin	4.5		%	15.9		%

Table of Contents

Revenue for the Customer Technology Services segment remained flat between the two periods. While the Cisco platform services inclusive of consulting, hardware, managed services and cloud offerings collectively grew 12% or $3.0 million over the prior year quarter, the Avaya platform services declined 32% or $3.6 million over the prior year quarter. This decline was primarily due to lower product sales as we shift our focus to a cloud based offerings.

The operating income as a percentage of revenue decreased to 4.5% in the second quarter of 2014 as compared to 15.9% in the prior period. The decrease was due to the revenue decline in the Avaya platform services coupled with additional investment in our cloud based offerings and sales and marketing. Included in the operating income was amortization related to acquired intangibles of $1.1 million and $1.0 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Customer Strategy Services

	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2014			2013			$ Change		% Change
Revenue	$	12,195		$	10,008		$	2,187	21.9	%
Operating Income	727			(1,989		)	2,716		136.6	%
Operating Margin	6.0		%	(19.9		)%

The increase in revenue for the Customer Strategy Services segment was related to organic growth across our geographies and our consulting practices including our strategy, operations and technology, analytics and learning innovations practices.

The operating income as a percentage of revenue increased to 6.0% in the second quarter of 2014 as compared to a loss of (19.9)% in the prior period. The increase was primarily related to the impairment charges of $1.1 million recorded as a result of the deconsolidation of a subsidiary in the prior period (see Part 1, Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details). The margin increase was also related to the full integration of the businesses comprising the segment which allowed for additional revenue as well as cost savings based on the segment realignment completed during 2013. Included in the operating income was amortization expense of $0.4 million and $0.4 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Interest Income (Expense)

For the three months ended June 30, 2014 interest income decreased slightly to $0.5 million from $0.6 million in the same period in 2013. Interest expense remained flat at $1.9 million during 2014 from $1.9 million during 2013 which resulted from having a higher utilization of our credit facility offset by a lower interest rate.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Included in the three months ended June 30, 2014 was a $4.0 million benefit related to a fair value adjustment of the contingent consideration for one of our acquisitions (see Part 1, Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 7 the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details).

Included in the three months ended June 30, 2013, was a $3.7 million charge related to the deconsolidation of a subsidiary (see Part 1, Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 16 the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details).

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was 23.0%. This compares to an effective tax rate of 23.3% for the same period of 2013. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was influenced by earnings in international jurisdictions currently under an income tax holiday and the distribution of income between the U.S. and international tax jurisdictions. Without a $0.2 million benefit related to restructuring charges and a $0.2 million expense related to other discrete recognized during the quarter, our effective tax rate for the second quarter would have been 22.5%.

Table of Contents

Revenue for the Customer Technology Services segment decreased between the two periods. While the Cisco platform services inclusive of consulting, hardware, managed services and cloud offerings collectively grew 13% over the prior year quarter, the Avaya platform services declined 35% or $6.9 million over the prior year quarter. This decline was primarily due to lower product sales as we shift our focus to a cloud based offerings.

The operating income as a percentage of revenue decreased to 2.8% in the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to 12.4% in the prior period. The decrease was due to the revenue decline in the Avaya platform services coupled with additional investment in our cloud based offerings and sales and marketing.

The operating income as a percentage of revenue increased to 8.8% in the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to a loss of (20.1)% in the prior period. The increase was primarily related to the impairment charges of $1.1 million recorded as a result of the deconsolidation of a subsidiary in the prior period (see Part 1, Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details). The margin increase was also related the full integration of the businesses comprising the segment which allowed for additional revenue as well as cost savings based on the segment realignment which was completed during 2013. Included in the operating income was amortization expense of $0.7 million and $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Interest Income (Expense)

For the six months ended June 30, 2014 interest income decreased to $1.0 million from $1.2 million in the same period in 2013. Interest expense decreased to $3.6 million during 2014 from $3.8 million in 2013 which resulted from having a higher utilization of our credit facility offset by a lower interest rate.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Included in the six months ended June 30, 2014 was a $4.0 million benefit related to a fair value adjustment of the contingent consideration for one of our acquisitions (see Part 1, Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash generated from operations, our cash and cash equivalents, and borrowings under our Credit Agreement, dated June 3, 2013 (the “Credit Agreement”). During the quarter ended June 30, 2014, we generated positive operating cash flows of $31.6 million. We believe that our cash generated from operations, existing cash and cash equivalents, and available credit will be sufficient to meet expected operating and capital expenditure requirements for the next 12 months. See Part 1, Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

We manage a centralized global treasury function in the United States with a focus on concentrating and safeguarding our global cash and cash equivalents. While the majority of our cash is held outside the U.S, we prefer to hold U.S. dollars in addition to the local currencies of our foreign subsidiaries. We expect to use our cash outside the U.S. to support working capital and growth of our foreign operations. While there are no assurances, we believe our global cash is protected given our cash management practices, banking partners and utilization of diversified, high quality investments.

We have global operations that expose us to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations that may positively or negatively impact our liquidity. We are also exposed to higher interest rates associated with our variable rate debt. To mitigate these risks, we enter into foreign exchange forward and option contracts and interest rate swaps through our cash flow hedging program. See Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, Foreign Currency Risk, for further details.

The following discussion highlights our cash flow activities during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all liquid investments purchased within 90 days of their original maturity to be cash equivalents. Our cash and cash equivalents totaled $97.8 million and $158.0 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. We diversify the holdings of such cash and cash equivalents considering the financial condition and stability of the counterparty institutions.

We reinvest our cash flows to grow our client base, expand our infrastructure, for investment in research and development, strategic acquisitions and the purchase of our outstanding stock.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we reported net cash provided by operating activities was $31.6 million and $40.2 million, respectively. Despite increases in net income and depreciation and amortization, the decrease was primarily due to a $6.4 million decrease in cash collected from accounts receivable and an increase of $8.8 million in payments made for operating expenses.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we reported net cash used in investing activities of $43.1 million and $15.3 million, respectively. The increase was due to increased spending on acquisitions of $7.1 million along with a $20.8 million increase in capital expenditures.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we reported net cash used in financing activities of $51.1 million and $30.2 million, respectively. The change in net cash flows from 2013 to 2014 was primarily due to $8.6 million of payments for contingent consideration related to acquisitions, an increase of $6.0 million in purchases of our outstanding common stock and a $2.0 million decrease in net borrowings from our line of credit.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow (see “Presentation of Non—GAAP Measurements” below for the definition of free cash flow) decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013 due to the decrease in cash flows provided by operating activities offset partially by a increase in capital expenditures. Free cash flow was $ (2.9) million and $26.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Presentation of Non—GAAP Measurements

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP liquidity measurement. We believe that free cash flow is useful to our investors because it measures, during a given period, the amount of cash generated that is available for debt obligations and investments other than purchases of property, plant and equipment. Free cash flow is not a measure determined by GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for “income from operations,” “net income,” “net cash provided by operating activities,” or any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP. We believe this non-GAAP liquidity measure is useful, in addition to the most directly comparable GAAP measure of “net cash provided by operating activities,” because free cash flow includes investments in operational assets. Free cash flow does not represent residual cash available for discretionary expenditures, since it includes cash required for debt service. Free cash flow also includes cash that may be necessary for acquisitions, investments and other needs that may arise.

The following table reconciles net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow for our consolidated results (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,					Six Months Ended June 30,
	2014			2013		2014			2013
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	18,093		$	33,717	$	31,630		$	40,211
Less: Purchases of property, plant and equipment	19,388			9,555		34,483			13,660

Obligations and Future Capital Requirements

Future maturities of our outstanding debt and contractual obligations as of June 30, 2014 are summarized as follows (in thousands):

(1) Includes estimated interest payments based on the weighted-average interest rate, unused commitment fees, current interest rate swap arrangements, and outstanding debt as of June 30, 2014.

· Contractual obligations to be paid in a foreign currency are translated at the period end exchange rate.

Table of Contents

· Purchase obligations primarily consist of outstanding purchase orders for goods or services not yet received, which are not recognized as liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets until such goods and/or services are received.

· The contractual obligation table excludes our liabilities of $0.5 million related to uncertain tax positions because we cannot reliably estimate the timing of cash payments.

Our outstanding debt is primarily associated with the use of funds under our Credit Agreement to fund working capital, repurchase our common stock, and other cash flow needs across our global operations.

Future Capital Requirements

We expect total capital expenditures in 2014 to be within the range of $55 to $65 million. Approximately 70% of these expected capital expenditures are to support growth in our business and 30% relates to the maintenance for existing assets. The anticipated level of 2014 capital expenditures is primarily dependent upon new client contracts and the corresponding requirements for additional delivery center capacity as well as enhancements to our technological infrastructure.

The amount of capital required over the next 12 months will depend on our levels of investment in infrastructure necessary to maintain, upgrade or replace existing assets. Our working capital and capital expenditure requirements could also increase materially in the event of acquisitions or joint ventures, among other factors. These factors could require that we raise additional capital through future debt or equity financing. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital upon commercially reasonable terms acceptable to us.

Client Concentration

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, one of our clients represented 11.8% of our total revenue. Our five largest clients accounted for 38.4% and 41.4% of our consolidated revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Our five largest clients accounted for 37.9% and 41.0% of our consolidated revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We have experienced long-term relationships with our top five clients, ranging from seven to 18 years, with the majority of these clients having completed multiple contract renewals with us. The relative contribution of any single client to consolidated earnings is not always proportional to the relative revenue contribution on a consolidated basis and varies greatly based upon specific contract terms. In addition, clients may adjust business volumes served by us based on their business requirements. We believe the risk of this concentration is mitigated, in part, by the long—term contracts we have with our largest clients. Although certain client contracts may be terminated for convenience by either party, we believe this risk is mitigated, in part, by the service level disruptions and transition/migration costs that would arise for our clients.

The contracts with our five largest clients expire between 2014 and 2017. Additionally, a particular client may have multiple contracts with different expiration dates. We have historically renewed most of our contracts with our largest clients. However, there is no assurance that future contracts will be renewed, or if renewed, will be on terms as favorable as the existing contracts.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations, or consolidated cash flows due to adverse changes in financial and commodity market prices and rates. Market risk also includes credit and non-performance risk by counterparties to our various financial instruments. We are exposed to market risk due to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates (as measured against the U.S. dollar); as well as credit risk associated with potential non-performance of our counterparty banks. These exposures are directly related to our normal operating and funding activities. We enter into derivative instruments to manage and reduce the impact of currency exchange rate changes, primarily between the U.S. dollar/Canadian dollar, the U.S. dollar/Philippine peso, the U.S. dollar/Mexican peso, and the Australian dollar/Philippine peso. We enter into interest rate derivative instruments to reduce our exposure to interest rate fluctuations associated with our variable-rate debt. To mitigate against credit and non-performance risk, it is our policy to only enter into derivative contracts and other financial instruments with investment grade counterparty financial institutions and, correspondingly, our derivative valuations reflect the creditworthiness of our counterparties. As of the date of this report, we have not experienced, nor do we anticipate, any issues related to derivative counterparty defaults.

Interest Rate Risk

We entered into interest rate derivative instruments to reduce our exposure to interest rate fluctuations associated with our variable rate debt. The interest rate on our Credit Agreement is variable based upon the Prime Rate and LIBOR and, therefore, is affected by changes in market interest rates. As of June 30, 2014, we had $100.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Based upon average outstanding borrowings during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, interest accrued at a rate of approximately 1.2% and 1.2% per annum, respectively. If the Prime Rate or LIBOR increased by 100 basis points during the quarter, there would not have been a material impact to our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The Company’s interest rate swap arrangements as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were as follows:

Foreign Currency Risk

Our subsidiaries in Canada, Costa Rica, Mexico, and the Philippines use the local currency as their functional currency for paying labor and other operating costs. Conversely, revenue for these foreign subsidiaries is derived principally from client contracts that are invoiced and collected in U.S. dollars or other foreign currencies. As a result, we may experience foreign currency gains or losses, which may positively or negatively affect our results of operations attributed to these subsidiaries. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, revenue associated with this foreign exchange risk was 33% and 33% of our consolidated revenue, respectively.

In order to mitigate the risk of these non-functional foreign currencies weakening against the functional currencies of the servicing subsidiaries, which thereby decreases the economic benefit of performing work in these countries, we may hedge a portion, though not 100%, of the projected foreign currency exposure related to client programs served from these foreign countries through our cash flow hedging program. While our hedging strategy can protect us from adverse changes in foreign currency rates in the short term, an overall weakening of the non-functional foreign currencies would adversely impact margins in the segments of the servicing subsidiary over the long term.

Table of Contents

Cash Flow Hedging Program

To reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations associated with forecasted revenue in non-functional currencies, we purchase forward and/or option contracts to acquire the functional currency of the foreign subsidiary at a fixed exchange rate at specific dates in the future. We have designated and account for these derivative instruments as cash flow hedges for forecasted revenue in non-functional currencies.

While we have implemented certain strategies to mitigate risks related to the impact of fluctuations in currency exchange rates, we cannot ensure that we will not recognize gains or losses from international transactions, as this is part of transacting business in an international environment. Not every exposure is or can be hedged and, where hedges are put in place based on expected foreign exchange exposure, they are based on forecasts for which actual results may differ from the original estimate. Failure to successfully hedge or anticipate currency risks properly could adversely affect our consolidated operating results.

Our cash flow hedging instruments as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are summarized as follows (amounts in thousands). All hedging instruments are forward contracts, except as noted.

As of June 30, 2014	Local Currency Notional Amount	U.S. Dollar Notional Amount			% Maturing in the Next 12 Months		Contracts Maturing Through
Canadian Dollar	4,500	$	4,382		100.0	%	June 2015

The fair value of our cash flow hedges at June 30, 2014 was (in thousands):

	Assets / (Liabilities)

Table of Contents

Our cash flow hedges are valued using models based on market observable inputs, including both forward and spot foreign exchange rates, implied volatility, and counterparty credit risk. The decrease in fair value from June 30, 2014 largely reflects a broad strengthening in the U.S. dollar.

We recorded net (losses)/gains of approximately $(3.0) million and $6.3 million for settled cash flow hedge contracts and the related premiums for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These (losses)/gains were reflected in Revenue in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). If the exchange rates between our various currency pairs were to increase or decrease by 10% from current period-end levels, we would incur a material gain or loss on the contracts. However, any gain or loss would be mitigated by corresponding increases or decreases in our underlying exposures.

Other than the transactions hedged as discussed above and in Note 6 in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements, the majority of the transactions of our U.S. and foreign operations are denominated in their respective local currency. However, transactions are denominated in other currencies from time-to-time. We do not currently engage in hedging activities related to these types of foreign currency risks because we believe them to be insignificant as we endeavor to settle these accounts on a timely basis. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, approximately 24% and 22%, respectively, of revenue was derived from contracts denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Our results from operations and revenue could be adversely affected if the U.S. Dollar strengthens significantly against foreign currencies.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

This Report includes the certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer required by Rule 13a-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). See Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2. This Item 4 includes information concerning the controls and control evaluations referred to in those certifications.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2014. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2014 to provide such reasonable assurance.

Table of Contents

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believes that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must consider the benefits of controls relative to their costs. Inherent limitations within a control system include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by unauthorized override of the control. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with associated policies or procedures. While the design of any system of controls is to provide reasonable assurance of the effectiveness of disclosure controls, such design is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and such assumptions, while reasonable, may not take into account all potential future conditions. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in a cost effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be prevented or detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2014 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

(1) In November 2001, our Board of Directors (“the Board”) authorized a stock repurchase program with the objective of increasing stockholder returns. The Board periodically authorizes additional increases to the program. The most recent Board authorization to purchase additional common stock occurred in May 2014, whereby the Board increased the program allowance by $25.0 million. Since inception of the program through June 30, 2014, the Board has authorized the repurchase of shares up to a total value of $637.3 million, of which we have purchased 41.3 million shares on the open market for $605.4 million. As of June 30, 2014 the remaining amount authorized for repurchases under the program was approximately $31.9 million. The stock repurchase program does not have
