Highlights of the first half of 2017

The group has made a bond issue in the amount of €600 million, redeemable in 2024, with a nominal interest rate of 1.50%, in order to complete the refinancing of its acquisition of LanguageLine Solutions LLC.

A. Accounting policies and methods

A.1 Reporting entity

Teleperformance ("the company") is a company domiciled in France.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the company as at and for the six months ended June 30, 2017 include the company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as "the group").

The consolidated financial statements of the group for the year ended December 31, 2016 are available upon request from the company's registered office at 21/25 rue Balzac, 75008 Paris, or from its website (www.teleperformance.com).

All financial information presented in euro has been rounded to the nearest million unless otherwise specified..

A.2 Basis of preparation

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements as at and for the six months ended June 30, 2017 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" and are presented in accordance with revised and amended IAS 1. They do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the group as at and for the year ended December 31, 2016 which are included in the 2016 reference document D.17-0122 that was filed with the AMF (the French Stock Exchange regulator) on March 2, 2017.

The accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on July 27, 2017.

The following standards, amendments and interpretations:

  • Amendments to IAS 12, on the recognition of deferred tax assets for unrealized losses;
  • Amendments to IAS 7 on the statement of cash flows came into force in 2017 but did not have a significant impact on the group's financial statements.

The group has elected not to early apply the following new standards:

  • IFRS 15 on revenues;
  • IFRS 9 on financial instruments;

These standards will come into effect from January 1, 2018.

The group does not expect a significant impact on its financial statements from the adoption of IFRS 15. The group uses foreign exchange hedging instruments on a regular basis and the adoption of IFRS 9 should result in a reduction of the volatility it experiences in the results of these operations.

The assessment of the impact of the new standard IFRS 16 on leases, which comes into effect on January 1, 2019, is still in progress.

The accounting policies applied by the group in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the group in its consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2016, with the exception of the new standards, amendments and interpretations set out above, and are in accordance with IFRSs as issued by the IASB and adopted by the European Union.

A.3 Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires making estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts in the financial statements, especially with respect to the following items:

  • the depreciation and amortization rates,
  • the calculation of losses on doubtful receivables,
  • impairment of intangible assets and goodwill,
  • the measurement of provisions and retirement benefits,
  • the measurement of share-based payment expense,
  • provisions for contingencies and expenses,
  • the measurement of intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination,
  • deferred taxation.

The estimates are based on information available at the time of preparation of the financial statements, and may be revised, in a future period, if circumstances change, or if new information is available. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

B. Consolidation scope

The group made no acquisition or disposal during the first half of.

During the first half of 2017, the group restated its measurement of the fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired of LanguageLine Solutions LLC. The principal impact concerns the US income tax rate which has been revised.

The following schedule sets out the revised fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities as of the date of acquisition:

Factoring arrangements :

The group and a number of its subsidiaries use factoring arrangements which comply with criteria for derecognition. The outstanding amounts totaled €51.4 million and €50.5 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Under the agreement, the Group retains the credit control and receipt functions in respect of the sold receivables on behalf of the factor.

C.2 Share-based payments

2016 incentive share award plans

The Board of Directors' meetings of April 28 and November 2, 2016 approved free awards in a total amount of 1,065,808 incentive plan shares to group personnel, including company officers, under the authorization given at the Shareholders' General Meeting of April 28, 2016, which included a maximum limit of 2.5% of the share capital of the company at the grant date. The board meeting on April 28, 2016 also approved the setting-up of a long-term incentive plan for company officers, with the free award of 350,000 shares. The two plans have identical conditions for vesting.

The features of these plans are as follows:

04/28/16 plan 11/02/16 plan
Date of board meeting allocating the awards 04/28/2016 11/02/2016
Vesting period 04/28/2016 to

Number of share awards* 1,264,300 151,508
Number of canceled shares -59,700 -13,264
Number of outstanding share awards at June 30, 2017 1,204,600 138,244
Fair value of each share award at the grant date (taking into account the market
condition)
€48.51 €72.40
Fair value of each share award at the grant date (without taking into account the
market condition)
€75.20 €88.80
* including for company officers 350,000 0

Vesting of the free share awards is conditional on the beneficiaries remaining with the group until at least the end of the vesting period and on meeting certain performance conditions relating to the financial years between 2016 and 2018.

As of June 30, 2017, it is considered probable that it will be necessary to meet the market condition in order to obtain the highest number of shares and the amount of expense recognized in respect of the plans is therefore based on fair values of €48.51 and €72.40 per share, which results in related expense of €8.4 million in the first half of 2017.

C.3 Accounts payable – Trade and Other current liabilities

06/30/2017 12/31/2016
Accounts payable - Trade 127 126
Other payables 144 158
Taxes payable 58 56
Accruals 180 160
Other operating liabilities 30 68
Total 539 568

Other operating liabilities at June 30, 2017 include an amount of €9.8 million (December 31, 2016: €23.9 million) in respect of the negative fair value of derivative financial instruments used for currency hedging.

C.4 Revenues and other operating revenues

Group revenues in the first half of 2017 amounted to €2,081 million, which represents an increase (on the basis of published figures) of 23.2% over the same period in 2016.

At constant currency rates and consolidation scope, the increase is 9.9%.

Other operating revenues

Other operating revenues mainly comprise government grants.

In the first half of 2017, grant income amounted to €4.3 million, compared with €2.2 million in the same period of 2016. It includes French competitiveness and employment tax credits for € 1.4 million in 2017, compared with €1.3 million in the same period of 2016.

C.5 Segment reporting

Segment information is reported in the schedules set out below.

Inter-segment operations are not significant and are not identified separately.

With effect from January 1, 2017, group activity as followed by the chief executive officer is split into the following two segments:

  • The « Core Services » segment which includes customer care, technical support and new customer acquisitions and is divided into three principal management regions :
  • - English-speaking & APAC, which covers the activities in the following countries: Canada, USA, United Kingdom, South Africa, China, Indonesia, India, Philippines, Singapore, Jamaica, Guyana, Australia and Malaysia;
  • - Ibero-LATAM, which covers the activities in the following countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Mexico, Spain and Portugal;

D. Goodwill

There were no changes to the composition of CGUs or groups of CGUs in the first half of 2017.

The group has reviewed its CGUs and groups of CGUs to determine whether there is any indication of impairment.

These reviews did not result in any subsequent requirement to perform impairment tests, and no impairment losses were therefore recognized in the first half of 2017.

E. Income tax

Income tax expense in an interim period is measured using management's best estimate of the expected fullyear rate.

The income tax expense in the first half of 2017 amounted to €49.0 million compared with €33.9 million in the first half of 2016. This increase is principally due to the contribution of LanguageLine Solutions LLC which was acquired in the second half of 2016.

F. Equity and earning per share

F.1 Share capital and dividends

The share capital at June 30, 2017 amounted to €144,450,000 represented by 57,780,000 shares with a nominal value of €2.50 each, fully paid up.

The company made a dividend distribution of €75.1 million during July 2017.

F.2 Treasury shares

At June 30, 2017, the group held 20,500 treasury shares, acquired under its liquidity contract, in a carrying amount of €2.3 million which has been deducted from equity.

Covenants

Our principal financial liabilities are subject to financial covenants which were all respected as of June 30, 2017.

G.3 Foreign exchange hedging operations

Revenues and operating expenses of group subsidiaries may be denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of each country concerned. To cover these exchange risks, hedge contracts are entered into between the following principal currencies:

  • - the US dollar and the Mexican peso ;
  • - the US dollar and the Colombian peso ;
  • - the Philippine peso and the US dollar ;
  • - the Colombian peso, the Turkish pound, the Tunisian dinar and the Euro.

The policy of the group is cover its highly probable forecast commercial transactions denominated in foreign currency, usually up to 12 months ahead. The group uses forward exchange contracts and plain vanilla foreign exchange options.

In addition, hedging arrangements are in place to cover the risk of changes in exchange rates amongst the various currencies managed in the cash pool (particularly the US\$ and the Mexican peso) and the euro, and on certain loans between Teleperformance SE and its subsidiaries.

I.1 Change in provisions

Provisions for risks at June 30, 2017, include a contingent liability of €10.8 million (US\$12.4 million), in respect of risks identified during the Aegis USA Inc. acquisition process in 2014, including tax risks of €10.3 million. An equivalent asset of €10.3 million has been recognized, as these risks are covered by a contractual warranty.

Other provisions for risks at June 30, 2017 include other risks in a total amount of €20.1 million, of which €8.2 million relates to personnel-related risks, principally concerning lawsuits with former employees, particularly in Argentina and France.

As legal proceedings are ongoing for most of these disputes, their settlement date is uncertain.

I.2 Warranties and other contractual obligations

The group has neither given nor received any significant new warranties during the first half of 2017.

2. 2017 half year management report

2.1 Group revenue in the first half year 2017

A. Business activity over the last half year

Consolidated revenue amounted to €2,081 million in the first half of 2017, representing a year-on-year increase of + 9.9% on a like-for-like basis. Revenue growth was + 23.2% as reported, essentially due to the €204 million contribution from the consolidation of LanguageLine Solutions as from September 19, 2016. Reported revenue was also lifted by the €20 million positive currency effect, stemming mainly from the increase in the Brazilian real, Colombian peso and US dollar against the euro.

The table below shows the change in revenues generated by activity:

SPECIALIZED SERVICES 329 113 191.4% 11.4%
Total 2,081 1,689 23.2% 9.9%

Core services

Core Services revenue amounted to €1,752 million in the first half of 2017, a gain of + 11.2% as reported and of + 9.8% like-for-like. The currency effect was positive for the period, primarily reflecting the increase in the US dollar, Brazilian real and Colombian peso against the euro.

  • English-speaking market & Asia-Pacific

First-half revenue for the region climbed + 3.7% on both a like-for-like and reported basis compared to the same period in 2016. The positive impacts of a stronger US dollar were largely offset by the negative impacts of sterling's weakness against the euro.

Teleperformance continued to diversify its client portfolio in the region over the first half of the year. The fastest growing client segments in the United States were e-distribution and e-transport services, along with healthcare. Consumer goods and consumer electronics also contributed to regional revenue growth. In this way, over the period, the Group continued to reduce its dependence on pay-TV and other telecommunications segments, which accounted for less than 30% of the regional revenue stream in 2016.

Given the phase-out of unprofitable contracts in the United Kingdom, which primarily impacted revenue growth in the English-speaking market & Asia-Pacific region in late 2016, business in the United Kingdom was still down in the first half.

In Asia-Pacific, business continued to benefit from the significant investments made in the region since 2016 and remained upbeat, particularly in India, with North American and regional multinationals in a wide range of buoyant client industries, such as consumer electronics and e-tailing. The positive impacts of this good momentum were offset in the first half by a slowdown in offshore operations serving the North American market in the Philippines, to the benefits of Mexico (Ibero-LATAM region), which is currently enjoying a more favorable currency and geopolitical environment.

  • Ibero-LATAM

Business in the Ibero-LATAM region saw exceptionally strong growth in first-half 2017, with year-on-year gains of + 25.1% like-for-like and of + 33.5% as reported, lifting revenue to €534 million for the period. Exchange rates had a positive impact on revenue, mainly reflecting gains in the Brazilian real and Colombian peso against the euro.

The Group continued to leverage the same growth drivers in the second quarter as in the beginning of the year, reflecting the significant investments made during 2016 and successful diversification in a number of different sectors. Operations in Portugal, Colombia and Brazil along with offshore activities in the region, including in Mexico, delivered the highest levels of growth. Offshore activities have become particularly attractive as local currencies have weakened.

Operations in Brazil remain upbeat despite the persistently uncertain economic and political environment, thanks to recent new contract wins with large US companies in various sectors, and particularly the new economy.

Business in Portugal once again contributed to regional growth, still powered by the success of the Lisbon-based multilingual platforms with large international accounts. E-retailing and e-services were among the fastest growing customer segments.

  • Continental Europe & MEA

In the Continental Europe & MEA region, first-half 2017 revenue rose by + 5.2% like-for-like and by + 3.4% as reported, ending the period at €406 million. The negative currency effects stemmed mainly from the fall in the Egyptian pound against the euro.

The healthy momentum seen in the three months to March 31, 2017 continued into the second quarter, which posted like-for-like growth of + 4.9%. The Group's growth drivers remained unchanged. Teleperformance continued to enjoy brisk sales momentum, particularly with global clients, in Eastern Europe (Russia, Poland, Czech Republic and Romania) and in most Mediterranean countries: in Greece where, as in Lisbon, the Group is benefiting from the success of its multilingual platforms; in Egypt, especially in the Internet and consumer electronics segment; in Albania, which serves the Italian market; and in Turkey.

In Northern Europe, the Group's operations in Scandinavia returned to firm growth in good profitability conditions, whereas the market environment in France, the Netherlands and Germany remained subdued.

The fastest growing markets in the region are consumer electronics, financial services, travel agencies and consumer goods. E-services accounted for a good number of the recently awarded contracts.

Specialized services

Revenue from Specialized Services rose sharply to €329 million in the first half of 2017 from €113 million one year earlier, due to the consolidation of LanguageLine Solutions as from September 19, 2016. On a like-for-like basis, revenue was up + 11.4% for the period.

Growth in Specialized Services was primarily attributable to the fast-paced expansion at TLScontact, led by an increase in visa applications and by brisk sales of add-on services.

LanguageLine Solutions reported satisfactory pro forma revenue growth in the first half, in line with Group expectations. Given the date on which LanguageLine Solutions was acquired, like-for-like growth for the Group in the first half of 2017 excludes growth reported by LanguageLine Solutions.

The LanguageLine Solutions and TLScontact businesses account for more than 80% of annual pro forma Specialized Services revenue.

B. First half 2017 result

EBITA before non-recurring items came to €245 million for the first half, up + 62.6% from €150 million in the first-half 2016. EBITA margin before non-recurring items widened further to 11.8% from 8.9% in the six months to June 30, 2016.

- English-speaking market & Asia-Pacific

The English-speaking market and Asia-Pacific region achieved EBITA before non-recurring items of €60 million in the first half of 2017, on a par with the prior-year period. EBITA margin before non-recurring items came to 7.4% versus 7.7% in first-half 2016. This primarily reflects:

  • o An unfavorable geographic mix effect on margins owing to significant growth in domestic business in the United States, whereas offshore operations slowed in the Philippines in favor of offshore activities in Mexico (Ibero-LATAM region), which has become particularly attractive thanks to local currency trends and a more secure geopolitical environment ;
  • o Significant investments made in the region over the past few half-year periods and the resulting gradual rampup of facilities opened in Australia, China and, more recently, Malaysia.

- Ibero-LATAM

EBITA before non-recurring items in the Ibero-LATAM region amounted to €55 million in the first half of 2017, compared to €43 million in the same period in 2016.

EBITA margin before non-recurring items remained high, representing 10.3% versus 10.7% in the first half of 2016. Growth in operations in Portugal and Colombia was particularly robust and profitable over the period.

The region benefited once again from currency fluctuations that continue to favor offshore business in Mexico serving the US market, but to a lesser extent than in first-half 2016.

  • Continental Europe & MEA

In the Continental Europe & MEA region, Teleperformance remained on the steady upward trend in profitability that began in 2012. EBITA before non-recurring items for the region came to €11 million, giving a margin of 2.7% versus 1.6% in the prior-year period. Positive factors contributing to this growth included:

  • o Vibrant business growth with global clients and satisfactory cost discipline in a number of countries in Southern and Eastern Europe, such as Greece with its highly efficient multilingual solutions, and Russia;
  • o Ongoing improvement in profitability in certain countries, such as the Nordics, and to a lesser extent Italy with the development of its offshore solutions in Albania

Specialized services

In Specialized Services, EBITA before non-recurring items amounted to €98 million in the first half of 2017, compared to €24 million in first-half 2016. EBITA margin before non-recurring items stood at 29.7% versus 21.0% in the prioryear period.

These figures primarily reflect the consolidation of LanguageLine Solutions as from September 19, 2016. The US company contributed €41 million to consolidated EBITA before non-recurring items in full-year 2016, for a margin of 36.3%.

Consolidated operating profit (EBIT) amounted to €191 million, up + 45.8% from €131 million in first-half 2016.

First-half 2017 EBIT reflects the amortization of intangible assets in an amount of €45 million, up sharply on the prioryear period following the acquisition of LanguageLine Solutions, and an €8 million accounting expense on performance share plans.

The financial result represented a net expense of €25 million versus €10 million in first-half 2016, reflecting the cost of debt incurred in connection with the LanguageLine Solutions acquisition.

Income tax expense amounted to €49 million. The Group's average tax rate was 29.5% compared to 28.0% in firsthalf 2016, owing to the increasing contribution of the Group's North American operations to its results.

Cash flow after tax and interest paid rose to €224 million from €168 million in first-half 2016. Change in consolidated working capital requirement was an inflow of €22 million, on a par with the prior-year period. This good performance reflects, in particular, the success of the policy deployed to improve the group's liquidity.

Net capital expenditure amounted to €68 million, or 3.3% of revenue, versus €75 million and 4.4% in first-half 2016. The group continued to create or expand contact centers to support clients in all markets, while maintaining discipline in the choice of capital expenditure.

In all, net free cash flow increased sharply, to €178 million from €113 million in the prior-year period.

Minority interests' transactions, which totaled €40 million in the first half, mainly included TLScontact final earn-out.

After considering a dividend of €75 million paid in early July, net debt stood at €1,501 million at June 30, 2017. The group's financial structure therefore remains very solid with equity of €1,827 million at end June.

2.3 Related parties

The group has no knowledge of any significant transactions with related parties during the first half of 2017.

2.4 Event after the reporting date

None.

2.5 Trend and prospects

A. Risks and uncertainties

The group is exposed to the risks which were described in the Reference document for the year ended December 31, 2016; which was subject to visa by the AMF.

The group's management team has not anticipated any significant changes in such risks and uncertainties or new risk and uncertainty elements for the second half of 2017.

B. 2017 Outlook

In light of the encouraging first-half year results, Teleperformance confirms and refines its full year guidance, targeting:

  • Like-for-like revenue growth of at least + 7% ;
  • An EBITA margin before non-recurring items above 13 %.

In addition, Teleperformance expects to maintain a high level of net free cash flow in 2017.

4. Statutory auditors' review report on 2017 Half-yearly Financial information

This is a free translation into English of the statutory auditors' review report on the half-yearly financial information issued in French and is provided solely for the convenience of English speaking users. This report includes information relating to the specific verification of information given in the Group's interim management report. This report should be read in conjunction with, and construed in accordance with, French law and professional standards applicable in France.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2017

To the Shareholders,

In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by your shareholders meeting and in accordance with the requirements of article L. 451-1-2 III of the French Monetary and Financial Code ("Code monétaire et financier"), we hereby report to you on:

  • the review of the accompanying condensed halfyearly consolidated financial statements of Teleperformance SE, for the period from January 1st, 2017 to June 30, 2017 ;
  • the verification of the information presented in the interim management report.

These condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Board of Directors. Our role is to express a conclusion on these financial statements based on our review.

I - Conclusion on the financial statements

We conducted our review in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 - standard of the IFRSs as adopted by the European Union applicable to interim financial information.

II – Specific verification

We have also verified the information presented in the half-yearly management report on the condensed halfyearly consolidated financial statements subject to our review. We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and consistency with the condensed halfyearly consolidated financial statements.
