Basis of Presentation

The Consolidated Financial Statements are comprised of the accounts of TTEC, its wholly owned subsidiaries and its 55% equity owned subsidiary Percepta, LLC. 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 state 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. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026.

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, 2025.

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 ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates including those related to derivatives and hedging activities, income taxes including the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, litigation reserves, restructuring reserves, allowance for credit losses, contingent consideration, 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.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company is exposed to credit risk in the normal course of business, primarily related to accounts receivable and derivative instruments. Historically, the losses related to credit risk have been immaterial due to the Company’s focus on managing its collection processes to reduce its credit risk. The Company regularly monitors its credit risk to mitigate the possibility of current and future exposures resulting in a loss. The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of its clients prior to entering into an agreement to provide services and as necessary through the life of the client relationship. The Company does not believe it is exposed to more than a nominal amount of credit risk in its derivative hedging activities, as the Company diversifies its activities across multiple investment-grade financial institutions.

Liquidity

As discussed in Note 9, the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, originally dated June 3, 2013 (the “Credit Agreement”), includes a number of financial covenants and operating restrictions, failure to comply with which could result in a default under the Credit Agreement. On November 5, 2025, the Company entered into a Tenth Amendment (the “Tenth Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement, which extends the maturity date to November 23, 2027 and modifies certain other material terms of the Credit Facility, including the size of the facility, pricing, and certain covenants.

On July 15, 2026, the Company obtained a waiver from its lenders for its net leverage ratio covenant for the period ended June 30, 2026, and subsequent to June 30, 2026, entered into an Eleventh Amendment (the “Eleventh Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement that, among other things, modified certain material terms, including sizing, pricing, and the net leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio covenants of the Credit Facility on a going-forward basis. Specifically, the net leverage ratio covenant modifications are effective from September 30, 2026 through September 30, 2027. During this period, the maximum permitted net leverage ratio increased to 4.25 and subsequently steps down to 3.75 by the quarter ending June 30, 2027. The minimum required interest coverage ratio is reduced to 2.00 for fiscal year 2027. The Tenth Amendment and the Eleventh Amendment are discussed in more detail in Note 9 and Note 16, respectively. As of the issuance of these unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, after giving effect to the waiver and the Eleventh Amendment, the Company believes it has sufficient cash on hand, positive working capital, and availability to access additional cash under the Credit Facility to meet its business operating requirements and make its capital expenditures and to continue to comply with the financial covenants under the Credit Agreement for the next 12 months from the issuance of these financial statements. The Company has the ability to reduce discretionary spending, if necessary, to maintain compliance with the financial covenants under the amended Credit Agreement. In the event that the Company does not remain in compliance with such financial covenants, it may be required to negotiate additional amendments to, or waivers of, the terms of the Credit Facility, refinance its debt, or raise additional capital. If the Company is unable to secure a covenant amendment, waiver, or refinancing, in the future, such noncompliance would constitute an event of default, permitting the lenders to accelerate the repayment of all amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses” which relates to measurement of credit losses for accounts receivable and contract assets and provides a practical expedient. When developing reasonable and supportable forecasts as part of estimating credit losses, all entities may elect a practical expedient that assumes current conditions as of the balance sheet do not change for the remaining life of the asset. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted in both interim and annual reporting periods in which financial statements have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company adopted the standard September 30, 2025. The adoption did not impact the Company’s consolidated balance sheet or income statement.

Other Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” in response to longstanding requests from investors for more information about an entity’s expenses, specifically categories of expenses such as (purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization, and depletion). The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with retrospective application permitted. The Company is still assessing the impact of this ASU, however, the Company expects the guidance to impact disclosures only and not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other Internal Use Software” which was issued to modernize the accounting for software costs and removes all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those fiscal reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this ASU on the Company’s policy for capitalization of development costs for software intended for internal use, including timing of adoption. The Company does not expect it to have a material effect on its consolidated income statements, balance sheets, or statements of cash flows.
