TTEC Digital – Design, build and operate tech-enabled, insight-driven CX solutions
TTEC Engage – Digitally-enabled customer care, acquisition, and fraud prevention services
Although the COVID-19 pandemic disruptions did not have a material adverse impact on the financial results for the first quarter of 2020, there can be no assurances that TTEC will not experience such impacts through the end of 2020 and beyond.
BUSINESS OUTLOOK
"The inherent value of our diverse portfolio of marquee clients, the resiliency and agility of our business model, and strength of our balance sheet, liquidity and cash flow carry even greater importance during uncertain times," commented Regina Paolillo, chief financial and administrative officer. "We are confident that we have the necessary resources to support our existing business as well as new business opportunities associated with the pandemic."
Paolillo continued, "While it is too early to fully understand the net impact of COVID-19 on our financial performance, we continue to see net top and bottom line growth in 2020. We estimate the combination of a healthy revenue backlog, COVID-19 related surge work, and the increased volumes from recent acquisitions to more than offset the economic headwinds of this crisis."
