Teletech Holdings (TTEC) Misses Q2 EPS by 6c, Revenues Beat; Offers FY18 Revenue Guidance Below Consensus

Teletech Holdings (NASDAQ: TTEC) reported Q2 EPS of $0.22, $0.06 worse than the analyst estimate of $0.28. Revenue for the quarter came in at $345.9 million versus the consensus estimate of $344.79 million.

"The first half of 2018 was marked by a number of strategic accomplishments," commented Regina Paolillo, chief financial and administrative officer at TTEC. "Most notably, our growing pipeline is converting into larger and more transformative bookings across geographies, industries, and our emerging digital capabilities. We are also seeing further pipeline growth in the second half of the year with significant early new business signings in the third quarter."

Paolillo continued, "While we met our consolidated second quarter revenue target, our profitability fell short of our plan due to unanticipated short-term challenges in our customer management business. At the same time our value changing customer strategy, technology and growth businesses performed at or above plan. Our updated full-year 2018 outlook is a function of these challenges. We are keenly focused on growing our pipeline, bookings, and backlog, setting the stage for improved revenue growth and profitability in 2019. Our view is that these challenges will be resolved in 2018 enabling us to increase our revenue growth rate and expand our Adjusted EBITDA and operating income margins early in 2019."
