        million, or 4.8 percent of revenue in the prior year. The significant

        related to the fair value of the TTEC Engage reporting unit, in addition
        to other factors.

        in the prior year.

CASH FLOW AND BALANCE SHEET

    --  Cash flow from operations in the fourth quarter of 2024 was a negative
        $1.1 million compared to a positive $31.5 million for the fourth quarter
        2023. For the full year 2024, cash flow from operations was a negative
        $58.8 million compared to a positive $144.8 million for the same period
        2023. The decline in 2024 cash flow from operations was primarily
        related to the discontinuation of the accounts receivable factoring
        facility in the third quarter, negatively impacting our cash flow by
        $101.2 million. Excluding the factoring facility impact, 2024 cash flow
        from operations was a positive $42.4 million.

    --  Free cash flow in the fourth quarter of 2024 was a negative $9.8 million
        compared to a positive $18.4 million for the fourth quarter 2023. For
        the full year 2024, free cash flow was a negative $104.0 million
        compared to a positive $76.9 million for the same period in 2023.
        Excluding the factoring facility discontinuation impact of $101.2
        million and including the proceeds from the sale of real estate of $45.5
        million, 2024 free cash flow was a positive $42.7 million.

    --  Capital expenditures in the fourth quarter 2024 were $8.7 million
        compared to $13.1 million for the fourth quarter 2023. For the full year
        2024, capital expenditures were $45.2 million compared to $67.8 million
        for the same period 2023.

    --  As of December 31, 2024, TTEC had cash and cash equivalents of $85.0
        million and debt of $978.0 million, resulting in a net debt position of
        $893.0 million. This compares to a net debt position of $826.5 million
        for the same period 2023.

    --  As of December 31, 2024, TTEC's remaining borrowing capacity under its
        revolving credit facility was approximately $225 million compared to $90
        million for the same period 2023.
    --  On November 4, 2024, TTEC's Board of Directors suspended the company's
        semi-annual cash dividend as part of its ongoing shift to prioritize
        debt reduction. The cash dividend will continue to be suspended until
        further notice, as TTEC continues to focus on debt reduction and the
        Special Committee of the company's Board of Directors is considering a
        potential take-private transaction proposed by TTEC's founder and CEO.

SALE OF REAL ESTATE ASSET NOT USED IN OPERATIONS

    --  On November 5, 2024, the company closed a sale of real estate asset in
        Englewood, Colorado for $45.5 million dollars, subject to customary
        adjustments. Prior to the COVID pandemic, the building was used as
        TTEC's principal place of business. The company used the proceeds from
        the sale to reduce its outstanding balance under its revolving credit
        facility.

NEW PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS

    --  As part of our strategic review of our business priorities, we decided
        to designate our office in Austin, Texas as our new principal place of
        business. Texas has been an important part of TTEC's operations for
        decades, and this move provides us with access to a business-friendly
        environment, a strong economy, a skilled workforce, and a dynamic
        technology and innovation hub. This change does not impact our 70+ other
        global locations, including our Denver Center for Experience and
        Innovation in Greenwood Village, Colorado. It also does not impact the
        jobs of those who are currently working in Colorado.

The company has not quantitatively reconciled its guidance for Non-GAAP operating income, Non-GAAP operating income margins, Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margins, Non-GAAP adjusted tax rate, or Non-GAAP earnings per share to their respective most comparable GAAP measures because certain of the reconciling items that impact these metrics, including restructuring and impairment charges, equity-based compensation expense, changes in acquisition contingent consideration, depreciation and amortization expense, and provision for income taxes are dependent on the timing of future events outside of the Company's control or cannot be reliably predicted. Accordingly, the Company is unable to provide reconciliations to GAAP operating income, operating income margins, EBITDA margins, and diluted earnings per share without unreasonable effort. Please note that the unavailable reconciling items could significantly impact the Company's 2025 financial results as reported under GAAP.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This press release contains a discussion of certain Non-GAAP financial measures that the company includes to allow investors and analysts to measure, analyze and compare its financial condition and results of operations in a meaningful and consistent manner. A reconciliation of these Non-GAAP financial measures can be found in the tables accompanying this press release.

    --  GAAP metrics are presented in accordance with Generally Accepted
        Accounting Principles.
    --  Non-GAAP - As reflected in the attached reconciliation table, the
        definition of Non-GAAP may exclude from operating income, EBITDA, net
        income and earnings per share restructuring and impairment charges,
        equity-based compensation expenses, amortization of purchased
        intangibles, among other items.
