NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollar amounts in Millions Except Per Share Amounts)
(Unaudited)
(1) BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Convergys Corporation (the Company or Convergys) is a global leader in relationship management. The Company provides solutions that drive value from the relationships its clients have with their customers. Convergys turns these everyday interactions into a source of profit and strategic advantage for the Company’s clients. For over 25 years, the Company’s unique combination of domain expertise, operational excellence and innovative technologies has delivered process improvement and actionable business insight to clients to enhance their relationships with customers.
Prior to the first quarter of 2012, the Company had two reportable segments, Customer Management and Information Management. In March 2012, we signed a definitive agreement to sell the Information Management line of business to NEC Corporation for $449.0 in cash. At close of the sale on May 16, 2012, the Company received $456.4 in cash proceeds, including $10.9 of working capital adjustments. The Company expects to receive an additional $4.2 in cash currently held in escrow in the second half of 2012. The Company recognized a gain of $102.0 pretax, and $16.8, net of taxes, at June 30, 2012, subject to final working capital adjustments. As a result of the sale of the Information Management line of business, the operating results and assets and liabilities related to Information Management have been reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Unless otherwise noted, amounts in these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements exclude amounts attributable to discontinued operations.
As a result of the change in classification of the Information Management business to discontinued operations, the Company maintains one reporting segment: Customer Management (CM). The Company will continue to report certain transactions within Corporate and Other, including costs historically allocated to the Information Management business that did not meet the criteria for discontinued operations, as well as executive compensation and other costs. Segment information for previous periods has been reclassified to conform to the current segment reporting structure.
In January 2011, we completed the sale of our Finance and Accounting Outsourcing line of business (F&A) for $10.0. We recorded a gain on the sale of $7.0 pretax, included within Other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The after-tax gain was $4.3. The gain on the sale included the elimination of $2.6 of goodwill and other intangible assets. The results of operations of F&A and the sale of F&A are not material to the Company's results of operations or financial condition and therefore, are not reflected as discontinued operations for the periods presented.
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial reporting (U.S. GAAP) and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations, and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for each period shown. All adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in Financial Statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States have been condensed or omitted. Interim Consolidated Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of the financial position or operating results for an entire year. These interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, filed on February 23, 2012. Certain balances in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
(2) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS" (ASU 2011-04). The adoption of ASU 2011-04 conforms the meaning of fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS and improves consistency of disclosures relating to fair value. This ASU requires a reporting entity to provide quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2012.
(3) DIVESTITURES AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Discontinued Operations
On May 16, 2012, the Company completed the sale of its Information Management line of business to NEC Corporation for $449.0 in cash. The Company recorded a gain of $102.0 pretax and $16.8, net of taxes, through June 30, 2012, subject to final net working capital adjustments. The sale of Information Management was a taxable transaction that resulted in $85.2 being recorded for the combined federal, state and foreign income tax obligation. The high effective tax rate is primarily due to
a lower basis in net assets for tax purposes compared to their book basis. The gain on sale included the elimination of $201.7 of goodwill and intangible assets.
The results of the Information Management business have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Certain costs previously allocated to the Information Management segment that do not qualify for discontinued operations accounting treatment are now reported as costs from continuing operations. Through the close of this transaction, these costs were $2.8 and $8.8 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, and $5.9 and $11.5 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, and are reflected in Corporate and Other in Note 16. The Company is taking actions to reduce these costs and expects transition services revenue from services to be provided to the buyer subsequent to completion of the sale to offset a significant portion of these costs. During the second quarter of 2012, we earned $2.9 in revenue under these transition services agreements. While the transition services agreements vary in duration up to 24 months depending upon the type of service provided, our expectation is that we will substantially eliminate the underlying costs as the transition services are completed.
Also included in discontinued operations are tax benefits associated with changes in reserves for uncertain tax positions related to previously divested businesses. The results of the Information Management business included in discontinued operations, and tax impacts related to previously divested businesses, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 are summarized as follows:

Finance and Accounting outsourcing line of business (F&A)
In January 2011, the Company completed the sale of F&A for $10.0. The gain on the sale amounted to $7.0 pretax, recorded within Other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Income, and $4.3 after tax in 2011. The gain on the sale included the elimination of $2.6 of goodwill and other intangible assets. The results of operations of F&A and the sale of F&A are not material to the Company’s results of operations or financial condition and, therefore, are not reflected as discontinued operations for the periods presented.

The diluted EPS calculation excludes the effect of 1.9 outstanding stock options for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 3.9 outstanding stock options for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 because their effect is anti-dilutive. The calculation also excludes the effect of 1.7 and 1.8 restricted stock units for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, and 1.9 shares related to the 2029 Convertible Debentures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 because their effect is anti-dilutive. As the Company reported a Net Loss from Continuing Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, diluted shares outstanding are equivalent to basic shares outstanding. As described more fully in Note 9, the Company issued approximately $125.0 aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Junior Subordinated Convertible Debentures due 2029 (2029 Convertible Debentures). The 2029 Convertible Debentures are convertible, subject to
certain conditions, into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of approximately $12.07 per share, or eighty-two and eighty-two hundredths shares per one thousand in principal amount of debentures. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustments for certain events outlined in the indenture governing the Debentures (the Indenture), including payment of dividends.
Shareholders’ Equity
The Company repurchased 4.8 and 4.9 shares of its common stock during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 at an average price of $13.92 and $13.91 per share for a total of $67.7 and $68.6 under defined repurchase plans. Based upon timing of the transactions, $4.0 of shares repurchased had not settled as of June 30, 2012. These shares are excluded from outstanding shares at the end of the current quarter and will be settled in cash during the third quarter of 2012. As of June 30, 2012, the Company had the authority to repurchase an additional $94.1 of outstanding common shares pursuant to current authorizations. The Company also repurchased 0.4 shares at an average price of $14.47 for aggregate proceeds of $5.3 subsequent to June 30, 2012 through July 31, 2012. On July 26, 2012, the Company's Board of Directors approved an increase in remaining authorized share repurchases to $250.0 in the aggregate as of July 31, 2012.
Dividends
On May 8, 2012, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared an initial quarterly cash dividend of $0.05. The initial quarterly cash dividend was paid on July 6, 2012 to all shareholders of record as of June 22, 2012. On July 26, 2012, the Company announced that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 to be paid on October 5, 2012 to all shareholders of record as of September 21, 2012. The Board expects that future cash dividends will be paid on a quarterly basis consistent with the initial cash dividend. However, any decision to pay future cash dividends will be subject to Board approval, and will depend on the Company's future earnings, cash flow, financial condition, financial covenants and other relevant factors.
(5) INVESTMENT IN CELLULAR PARTNERSHIP
On July 1, 2011, the Company completed the sale of its 33.8% limited partnership interest in the Cincinnati SMSA Limited Partnership and its 45.0% limited partnership interest in the Cincinnati SMSA Tower Holdings LLC (collectively referred to as the "Cellular Partnerships") to AT&T. AT&T is the general and a limited partner of both Cincinnati SMSA Limited Partnership and Cincinnati SMSA Tower Holdings LLC with a partnership interest prior to Convergys' sale of its interests of approximately 66% and 53%, respectively. The Company received $320.0 in cash proceeds upon closing. The Company's interests in the Cellular Partnerships did not qualify as discontinued operations; therefore, the gain has been reported within income from continuing operations, and no reclassification of prior results has been made. The pre-tax gain on sale of its interests in the Cellular Partnerships was $265.0, or $171.8 net of tax.
Since the Cellular Partnerships were organized as limited partnerships, the partners are responsible for income taxes applicable to their share of taxable income generated by the Cellular Partnerships. The net income of the Cincinnati SMSA Limited Partnership reflected in the following table does not include any provision for income taxes incurred by the partners.

Pension cost for the unfunded executive plans related to discontinued operations included in the table above was immaterial for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. The Company recognized a $0.2 curtailment benefit during the second quarter of 2012 related to the impact of the sale of the Information Management business and a $1.5 curtailment benefit during the first quarter of 2011 related to the resignation of a senior executive.
The Company maintains investments in certain securities, included within short-term investments in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, which are held in a grantor trust for the benefit of participants of the unfunded executive deferred compensation plan. This investment was made in securities reflecting the hypothetical investment balances of plan participants.
As of June 30, 2012, the Company maintained investment securities with a fair value of $19.2 classified as trading securities.
The Company sponsors postretirement health and life insurance plans for certain eligible employees. During the second quarter of 2012, the Company recognized a $3.8 curtailment benefit related to these plans as a result of the sale of the Information Management business. Further, during the second quarter of 2011, the Company amended certain components of the postretirement health and life insurance plans to reduce certain benefits. The plan amendments constitute negative amendments. As a result of the plan amendments, the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation decreased approximately $20, the impact of which will be recognized as a reduction to net periodic benefit cost over the remaining future service years of the active participants over a weighted-average period of approximately 3 years.
(7) RESTRUCTURING
2012 Restructuring
During the second quarter of 2012, the Company recorded severance-related restructuring charges of $7.6, consisting of $6.4 at Corporate and $1.2 at Customer Management, impacting approximately 100 professional employees. The $6.4 of restructuring charges at Corporate reflects the changes in the Company's executive team and realignment of Corporate overhead as a result of the sale of the Information Management business. These severance-related charges are expected to be substantially paid in cash by March 31, 2013 pursuant to the Company's severance policies. The total remaining liability under this severance-related restructuring plan, which is included within Payable and other current liabilities on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets was $7.6 as of June 30, 2012.
2011 Restructuring
In the third quarter of 2011, the Company initiated operational changes that resulted in severance costs of $1.2 largely to reduce headcount and align resources to future business needs. The $1.2 of severance-related charges were comprised of $1.0 at Customer Management and $0.2 at Corporate. Severance actions impacted approximately 50 professional employees worldwide and charges were largely paid in cash pursuant to the Company’s existing severance policy and employment agreements. These actions were substantially completed by the end of 2011.
The total remaining liability under this severance-related restructuring plan, which is included within Payables and other current liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets was $0.2 as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. This liability is expected to be fully settled by December 31, 2012.
2010 Restructuring
During 2010, the Company initiated a restructuring plan and incurred a total charge of $28.7 consisting of $19.4 of severance-related charges and $9.3 of facility-related charges. The $19.4 of severance-related charges were comprised of $13.3 at Customer Management largely to reduce headcount and align resources to future business needs, and $6.1 at Corporate to further simplify operations and to reflect the impact of the sale of the HR Management line of business. The full-year severance charge of $19.4 was largely paid in cash pursuant to the Company’s existing severance policy and employment agreements. These actions affected approximately 1,000 professional employees and approximately 1,400 non-salaried employees worldwide and were substantially completed by the end of 2011. The facility-related charge of $9.3 relates to lease rent accruals and penalties for properties that have closed as the result of consolidating facilities and shifting capacity. The charge is equal to the future costs associated with the facility, net of proceeds from any probable future sublease agreements. The fair value measurement utilized internal discounted cash flows, which is a Level 3 input. The Company used estimates, based on consultation with the Company’s real estate advisors, to determine the proceeds from any future sublease agreements. The Company will continue to evaluate these estimates in recording the facilities abandonment charge. Consequently, there may be additional reversals or charges relating to these facility closures in the future. Therefore, facility-related reserves are maintained on a facility basis rather than a restructuring charge event basis.
The remaining severance liability under this plan, which is included within Payables and other current liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets was $0.7 as of June 30, 2012 and $1.0 as of December 31, 2011. This liability is expected to be fully settled by December 31, 2012.
Facilities Restructuring
The Company's facilities restructuring reserves are equal to the estimated future costs associated with the facilities, net of proceeds from any probable future sublease agreements. The Company uses estimates, based on consultation with the Company’s real estate advisers, to determine the proceeds from any future sublease agreements. The Company continues to evaluate these estimates in recording the facilities abandonment charge. The remaining liability for these facilities, which is included within Payables and other current liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets was $0.2 as of June 30, 2012 and $0.5 as of December 31, 2011.
(8) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
The Company’s operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 included long-term incentive plan expense of $5.3 and $10.5, respectively, compared to $4.8 and $8.6, respectively, for the same periods in 2011. Long-term incentive plan expense included expense related to discontinued operations $0.6 and $1.4 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, and $0.7 and $1.2 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. Long-term incentive plan expense includes: (a) incentive plan expense that is paid in cash based on relative shareholder return and (b) stock compensation expense. Stock compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 was $5.4 and $10.6, respectively, compared to $4.7 and $8.4 for the same periods in 2011.

Approximately one-half of the stock options granted during 2012 vest in 2 years and the remaining vest in 3 years. The weighted average fair value at grant date of $3.43 per option granted included assumptions of a strike price of $12.79, a 30.74% implied volatility and an expected term of 4.5 years. These option grants resulted in stock compensation expense of $0.4 in the first six months of 2012.
Restricted Stock Awards
During the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company granted 1.5 shares and 1.4 shares, respectively, of restricted stock units. The weighted-average fair values of these grants were $12.93 and $13.78 per share, respectively. Included in these amounts were 0.6 shares and 0.5 shares, respectively, of performance-based restricted stock units granted at the fair value of $12.93 and $13.77 per share, respectively, equal to the Company’s share price at grant date, that vest upon the Company’s satisfaction of certain financial performance conditions. These grants provide for payout based upon the extent to which the Company achieves certain EBITDA targets, as determined by the Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Board of Directors, over a two-year period. Payout levels range from 50% to 200% of award shares earned. No payout can be earned if performance is below the minimum threshold level. Compensation cost related to these grants will be adjusted based upon expected performance as compared to defined targets.
The total compensation cost related to non-vested time-based and performance-based restricted stock units not yet recognized as of June 30, 2012 was approximately $14.6 and $6.3, respectively, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average of 1.0 years and 0.7 years, respectively. Changes to non-vested time-based and performance-based restricted stock and restricted stock units for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were as follows:

Prior to the second quarter of 2012, the Company leased an office complex in Orlando, Florida, under a five year agreement that began on June 30, 2010. In the second quarter of 2012, the Company exercised its option to purchase its leased office facility by discharging the related lease financing obligation in the aggregate principal amount of $55.0. Total capital lease obligations subsequent to the purchase were $2.6 at June 30, 2012 compared to $58.5 at December 31, 2011.
On March 11, 2011, the Company entered into a $300 Four-Year Competitive Advance and Revolving Credit Facility Agreement (the 2011 Credit Facility). The 2011 Credit Facility replaced the Company’s $400 Five-Year Competitive Advance and Revolving Credit Facility Agreement (the 2006 Credit Facility), dated as of October 20, 2006 and as amended subsequently, among Convergys and a group of financial institutions. In connection with Convergys’ entry into the 2011 Credit Facility, Convergys terminated the 2006 Credit Facility.
Convergys has two borrowing options available under the 2011 Credit Facility: (i) a competitive advance option which will be provided on an uncommitted competitive advance basis through an auction mechanism and (ii) a revolving credit option which will be provided on a committed basis. Under each option, amounts borrowed and repaid may be re-borrowed subject to availability. Borrowings under the 2011 Credit Facility bear interest at one of the rates described in the 2011 Credit Facility. The 2011 Credit Facility includes certain restrictive covenants including maintenance of interest coverage and debt-to-EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) ratios (as defined in the 2011 Credit Facility). The Company’s interest coverage ratio, defined as the ratio of EBITDA to consolidated interest expense, cannot be less than 4.00 to 1.00 as determined on a rolling four quarter basis. The Company’s debt-to-EBITDA ratio cannot be greater than 3.00 to 1.00 until December 31, 2012 and 2.75 to 1.00 after December 31, 2012. The 2011 Credit Facility also contains customary representations and warranties. In the event of a default, the lenders may terminate the commitments and declare the amounts outstanding, and all accrued interest, immediately due and payable. The maturity date of the 2011 Credit Facility is March 11, 2015 except that, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, Convergys may extend the maturity date by one year twice during the term. Convergys will pay an annual facility fee regardless of utilization. At June 30, 2012, the facility was undrawn. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at June 30, 2012.
In December 2004, Convergys issued $250.0 in 4.875% Unsecured Senior Notes (4.875% Senior Notes) due December 15, 2009. In the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company announced an exchange offer (Exchange Offer), under the terms of which the Company offered to exchange one thousand twenty dollars in principal amount of its new 5.75% Junior Subordinated Convertible Debentures due September 2029 (2029 Convertible Debentures) for each one thousand dollars in principal amount of its 4.875% Senior Notes. Convergys issued a total of $125.0 aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Convertible Debentures in exchange for $122.5 of the 4.875% Senior Notes. At the date of issuance, the Company recognized
the liability component of the 2029 Convertible Debenture at its fair value of $56.3. The liability component is recognized as the fair value of a similar instrument that does not have a conversion feature at issuance. The equity component, which is the value of the conversion feature at issuance, was recognized as the difference between the proceeds from the issuance of the debentures and the fair value of the liability component, after adjusting for the deferred tax impact of $32.7. The 2029 Convertible Debentures were issued at a coupon rate of 5.75%, which was below that of a similar instrument that does not have a conversion feature. Therefore, the valuation of the debt component, using the income approach, resulted in a debt discount. The debt discount will be amortized over the life of a similar debt instrument without a conversion feature, which the Company determined to equal the contractual maturity of the 2029 Convertible Debentures. Amortization is based upon the effective interest rate method and will be included within the interest expense caption in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.
The 2029 Convertible Debentures are convertible, subject to certain conditions, into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of approximately $12.07 per share, or eighty-two and eighty-two hundredths shares of the Company’s common stock per one thousand dollars in principal amount of Debentures. Upon conversion, the Company will pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the converted 2029 Convertible Debentures and settle the remainder of the conversion value of the Debentures in cash or stock at the Company’s option. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment for certain events outlined in the indenture governing the Debentures (the Indenture), including payment of dividends. The conversion rate will increase for a holder who elects to convert this Debenture in connection with certain share exchanges, mergers or consolidations involving the Company, as described in the Indenture. The 2029 Convertible Debentures, which pay a fixed rate of interest semi-annually, have a contingent interest component that will require the Company to pay interest based on the trading price of the Debentures exceeding a specified threshold at specified times, commencing on September 15, 2019, as outlined in the Indenture. The maximum amount of contingent interest that will accrue is 0.75% per annum of the average trading price of the Debentures during the periods specified in the Indenture. The fair value of this embedded derivative was not significant at June 30, 2012 or December 31, 2011.
During 2009, the Company entered into a $125.0 asset securitization facility collateralized by accounts receivables of certain of its subsidiaries, of which $50.0 was scheduled to expire in June 2010 and $75.0 expires in June 2012. The $50.0 that was scheduled to expire in June 2010 was extended through June 2011. During June 2011, the Company renegotiated the terms of the agreement, increasing the purchase limit to $150.0 and extending the terms to June 2014. The asset securitization program is conducted through Convergys Funding Inc., a wholly-owned bankruptcy remote subsidiary of the Company. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the facility was undrawn.
Other debt of $0.2 and $11.1 at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, consisted of miscellaneous domestic and international borrowings.
At June 30, 2012, future minimum payments of the Company’s debt arrangements are as follows:

(10) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Commitments
At June 30, 2012, the Company had outstanding letters of credit of $26.0 and other bond obligations of $1.8 related to performance and payment guarantees. The Company believes that any guarantee obligation that may arise will not be material. The Company also has purchase commitments with telecommunications providers of $7.1 for the remainder of 2012.
At June 30, 2012, the Company had outstanding performance bond obligations of $30.0 related to performance and payment guarantees for the Company’s former HR Management line of business. Subsequent to completion of the sale of the HR Management business, the Company continues to be responsible for these bond obligations. As part of the gain on disposition the Company recognized a liability equal to the present value of probability weighted cash flows of potential outcomes, a Level 3 fair value measurement. Although the buyer is obligated to indemnify the Company for any and all losses, costs, liabilities and expenses incurred related to these performance bonds, as of June 30, 2012, the Company maintains a
liability of $1.0 for these obligations.
Contingencies
The Company from time to time is involved in various loss contingencies, including tax and legal contingencies that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for a loss contingency when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. At this time, the Company believes that the results of any such contingencies, either individually or in the aggregate, will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition. However, the outcome of any litigation cannot be predicted with certainty. An unfavorable resolution of one or more pending matters could have a materially adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition in the future.
In November 2011, one of the Company's call center clients tendered a contractual indemnity claim to Convergys Customer Management Group, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, relating to a putative class action captioned Brandon Wheelock, individually and on behalf of a class and subclass of similarly situated individuals, v. Hyundai Motor America, Orange County Superior Court, California, Case No. 30-2011-00522293-CU-BT-CJC. The lawsuit alleges that Hyundai Motor America violated California's telephone recording laws by recording telephone calls with customer service representatives without providing a disclosure that the calls might be recorded. Plaintiff is seeking, among other things, an order certifying the suit as a California class action, statutory damages, payment of attorneys' fees and pre- and post-judgment interest. Convergys Customer Management Group, Inc. is not named as a defendant in the lawsuit and has not agreed to indemnify Hyundai. On March 5, 2012, the court sustained a demurrer filed by Hyundai to one of Plaintiff's causes of action, but overruled the demurrer as to Plaintiff's other cause of action. On March 15, 2012, Plaintiff filed an amended complaint. Hyundai answered the amended complaint on April 16, 2012, by generally denying the allegations and asserting certain affirmative defenses. On May 7, 2012, Hyundai filed a motion for summary judgment based on Hyundai's claim that an exemption under the California recording laws was intended to exempt the type of recording done by Hyundai's call centers. The Court scheduled a hearing on October 18, 2012 to consider Hyundai's motion for summary judgment.
Given the early stage of this matter, the fact that Convergys Customer Management Group, Inc., is not named as a defendant in the lawsuit, and the fact that there has been no determination as to whether Convergys Customer Management Group, Inc., will be required to indemnify Hyundai, the likelihood of losses that may become payable under such claims, the amount of potential losses associated with such claims, and whether such losses may be material cannot be determined or estimated at this time. The Company has therefore not established a reserve with respect to this matter. The Company believes Convergys Customer Management Group, Inc., has meritorious defenses to Hyundai's demand for indemnification and also believes there are meritorious defenses to Plaintiff's claims in the lawsuit.
(11) FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES
U.S. GAAP defines a hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs in measuring fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had foreign currency forward contracts measured at fair value. The fair values of these instruments were measured using valuations based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets (Level 2) and are valued by reference to similar financial instruments, adjusted for terms specific to the contracts. There were no transfers between the three levels of the fair value hierarchy during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. The assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were as follows:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

The Company also had investment securities held in a grantor trust for the benefit of participants of the executive deferred compensation plan measured at fair value at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The fair value of these instruments was measured using the quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1). The assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were as follows:

At June 30, 2012, the Company held time deposits with maturities greater than 90 days and less than 180 days measured at fair value. The fair value of these instruments was measured using the quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1). The assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2012 were as follows:

Fair values of cash equivalents and current accounts receivable and payable approximate the carrying amounts because of their short-term nature. The fair value of short-term debt approximates its recorded value because of its short-term nature. Based on quoted market prices at June 30, 2012, the fair value of the $125.0 of the Company’s 2029 Convertible Debentures is $175.9.
(12) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Derivative Instruments
The Company is exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. The Company’s risk management strategy includes the use of derivative instruments to reduce the effects on its operating results and cash flows from fluctuations caused by volatility in currency exchange and interest rates.
The Company serves many of its U.S.-based clients using contact center capacity in the Philippines, India, Canada and Colombia. Although the contracts with these clients are typically priced in U.S. dollars, a substantial portion of the costs incurred to render services under these contracts are denominated in Philippine pesos (PHP), Indian rupees (INR), Canadian dollars (CAD) or Colombian pesos (COP), which represents a foreign exchange exposure. Beginning in 2011, the Company entered into a contract with a client priced in Australian dollars (AUD). The Company has hedged a portion of its exposure related to the anticipated cash flow requirements denominated in these foreign currencies by entering into forward exchange contracts and options with several financial institutions to acquire a total of PHP 16,551.5 at a fixed price of $365.6 at various dates through December 2014, INR 8,219.1 at a fixed price of $157.2 at various dates through June 2015, CAD 6.0 at a fixed price of $5.7 at various dates through December 2012 and COP 23,400.0 at a fixed price of $11.9 at various dates through December 2013, and to sell a total of AUD 24.6 at a fixed price of $25.3 at various dates through June 2013. These instruments mature within the next 36 months and had a notional value of $565.7 at June 30, 2012 and $619.8 at December 31, 2011. The derivative instruments discussed above are designated and effective as cash flow hedges. The following table reflects the fair values of these derivative instruments:
|
| | | | | | | |
| June 30, 2012 | | December 31, 2011 |
Forward exchange contracts and options designated as hedging instruments: | | | |
Included within other current assets | $ | 17.5 |

| | 3.9 |
|
Included within other current liabilities | 8.6 |
| | 11.2 |
|
Included within other long-term liabilities | 7.9 |
| | 8.1 |
|
The Company recorded deferred tax expense of $3.1 and deferred tax benefit of $1.0 related to these derivatives at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. A total of $4.7 of deferred gains and $1.5 of deferred losses, net of tax, related to these cash flow hedges at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, were included in accumulated other comprehensive loss (OCL). As of June 30, 2012, deferred gains of $8.9 ($5.5 net of tax), on derivative instruments included in accumulated OCL are expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months. The following table provides the effect of these derivative instruments on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011:
|
| | | | | | | | | |
| Gain (Loss) Recognized in OCL on Derivative (Effective Portion) | | Gain (Loss) Reclassified from Accumulated OCL into Income (Effective Portion) | | Location of Gain (Loss) Reclassified from Accumulated OCL into Income (Effective Portion) |

Foreign exchange contracts | $ | (0.1 | ) | | $ | 3.5 |
| | - Cost of providing services and products sold and Selling, general and administrative |
Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 | | | | | |
Foreign exchange contracts | $ | 16.0 |
| | $ | 5.8 |

Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 | | | | | |
Foreign exchange contracts | $ | 0.7 |
| | $ | 6.1 |
| | - Cost of providing services and products sold and Selling, general and administrative |
The amount recognized related to the ineffective portion of the derivative instruments was not material for the six months ended June 30, 2012.
The Company also enters into derivative instruments (forwards) to economically hedge the foreign currency impact of assets and liabilities denominated in nonfunctional currencies. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded a net gain of $1.0 compared to a net loss of $0.5 for the same period in 2011, related to changes in fair value of these derivative instruments not designated as hedges. The gains and losses largely offset the currency gains and losses that resulted from changes in the assets and liabilities denominated in nonfunctional currencies. These gains and losses are classified within other income, net in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. The fair value of these derivative instruments not designated as hedges at June 30, 2012 was not material to the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.
A few of the Company’s counterparty agreements related to derivative instruments contain provisions that require that the Company maintain collateralization on derivative instruments in net liability positions. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments in liability position on June 30, 2012 is $16.5 for which the Company has posted no collateral. Future downgrades in the Company’s credit ratings and/or changes in the foreign currency markets could result in collateral being provided to counterparties.
Short Term Investments
In December 2011, the Company made investments in certain securities, included within short-term investments in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, which are held in a grantor trust for the benefit of participants of the executive deferred compensation plan, which was frozen during the fourth quarter of 2011. This investment was made in securities reflecting the hypothetical investment balances of plan participants. As of June 30, 2012, the Company maintained investment securities with a fair value of $19.2 classified as trading securities. The investment securities include exchange-traded mutual funds, common stock of the Company and money market accounts. These securities are carried at fair value, with gains and losses, both realized and unrealized, reported in other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The cost of securities sold is based upon the specific identification method. Interest and dividends on securities classified as trading are included in other income (expense), net.
Additionally, during the second quarter of 2012, the Company made investments in time deposits with maturities greater than 90 days and less than 180 days, included within short-term investments in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2012, the fair value of these short-term time deposits was $19.0.
(13) INCOME TAXES
The liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $58.9 and $112.3 at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, and is included in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The decline from December 31, 2011 to June 30, 2012 is primarily due to the effective settlement of audits and the sale of the Information Management business. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that would affect income tax expense if recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements is $46.3. This amount includes interest and penalties of $17.8. It is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will decrease between approximately $3 and $10 in the next twelve months; however, actual developments in this area could differ from those currently expected.
The effective tax rate on net income from continuing operations was 16.4% and 13.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, compared to 25.7% and 26.1% in the same periods last year. The lower tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 is primarily due to a shift in the geographic mix of worldwide income and certain discrete items that were recorded in the second quarter of 2012.
(14) GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE AND LONG-LIVED ASSETS
Goodwill
Goodwill decreased to $575.3 at June 30, 2012 from $621.5 at December 31, 2011 due to a $46.0 goodwill impairment charge recorded within the asset impairment caption in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.
The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually as of October 1 and at other times if events have occurred or circumstances exist that indicate the carrying value of goodwill may no longer be recoverable. Goodwill impairment testing is performed at the reporting unit level, one level below the business segment. The Company's three reporting units prior to the sale of Information Management were CM Live Agents, CM Customer Interaction Technology (CIT) and Information Management. The impairment test for goodwill involves a two-step process. The first step compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including the goodwill allocated to each reporting unit. If the carrying amount is in excess of the fair value, the second step requires the comparison of the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the
carrying amount of the reporting unit goodwill. Any excess of the carrying value of the reporting unit goodwill over the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill will be recorded as an impairment loss. Fair value of the reporting units is determined using a combination of the market approach and the income approach. Under the market approach, fair value is based on actual stock price or transaction prices of comparable companies. Under the income approach, value is dependent on the present value of net cash flows to be derived from the ownership.
Completion of the sale of the Information Management business qualified as a triggering event for an interim assessment of goodwill impairment for the Company's Information Management and CIT reporting units. Based upon the purchase price for the Information Management business, the triggering event did not indicate an impairment of the Information Management reporting unit.
The sale of the Information Management business will impact the sale of certain products developed by the CIT reporting unit and co-marketed by CIT and the Information Management business. Due in part to this transition, the fair value of the CIT reporting unit was determined to be less than its carrying value. The conclusion of step two of the impairment analysis resulted in the impairment of the entire $46.0 goodwill balance of this reporting unit. The Company, therefore, recorded a $46.0 ($44.4 net of tax) goodwill impairment charge, included within operating income, for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Fair value was determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis which contains significant unobservable inputs that fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy under U.S. GAAP.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets (including software and customer relationships) decreased to $38.7 at June 30, 2012 from $44.8 at December 31, 2011, principally due to amortization. As of June 30, 2012, the Company’s total identifiable intangible assets, acquired primarily through business combinations, consisted of the following:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Gross Carrying Value | | Accumulated Amortization | | Net |
Software (classified with Property, Plant & Equipment) | $ | 41.3 |
| | $ | (24.2 | ) | | $ | 17.1 |
|
Trademarks | 10.0 |
| | (9.8 | ) | | 0.2 |
|
Customer relationships and other intangibles | 119.6 |
| | (98.2 | ) | | 21.4 |
|
Total | $ | 170.9 |
| | $ | (132.2 | ) | | $ | 38.7 |
|
The intangible assets are being amortized using the following amortizable lives: 5 to 8 years for software, 4 years for trademarks, and 7 to 12 years for customer relationships and other intangibles. The remaining weighted average depreciation period for software is 4 years. The remaining weighted average amortization period for trademarks, customer relationships and other intangibles is 6.5 years. Amortization of software is included within depreciation expense as the underlying assets are classified within property, plant and equipment.
Trademarks, customer relationships, and other intangibles amortization expense was $3.7 and $3.7 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and is estimated to be approximately $5.0 for the year ended December 31, 2012. The related estimated expense for the five subsequent years ended December 31 is as follows:
|
| | | |
| |
2013 | $ | 4.7 |
|
2014 | 2.9 |
|
2015 | 2.5 |
|
2016 | 1.9 |
|
2017 | 1.9 |
|
Thereafter | 5.0 |
|
Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates its property, plant and equipment when events or circumstances indicate a possible inability to recover their carrying amounts. During the second quarter of 2012, the Company committed to a plan to sell its Corporate office facilities in Cincinnati, Ohio. At June 30, 2012, the property met the "Held-for-Sale" criteria set forth in U.S. GAAP, resulting in classification of $30.3 of property, plant and equipment as held-for-sale; the book value was adjusted to its fair value less costs to sell, resulting in an impairment charge of $42.6 ($27.0 after tax) recorded within the asset impairment caption in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. Fair value was determined based on discounted cash flow analysis which contains significant unobservable inputs that fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy under U.S. GAAP.

(16) BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
As discussed in Note 1, prior to the first quarter of 2012, the Company had two reportable segments: (i) Customer Management, which provides agent-assisted services, self-service, and intelligent technology care solutions; and (ii) Information Management, which provides business support system (BSS) solutions. In connection with the sale of the Information Management line of business, the Company reorganized its reportable segments into one segment, Customer Management. This is consistent with the Company's management of the business and reflects its internal financial reporting structure and operating focus.
The Company does not allocate activities below the operating income level to its reported segment. The Company’s business segment information is as follows:

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Dollar amounts in Millions Except Per Share Amounts)
BACKGROUND
Convergys Corporation (the Company or Convergys) is a global leader in relationship management. We provide solutions that drive value from the relationships our clients have with their customers. We turn these everyday interactions into a source of profit and strategic advantage for our clients. For over 25 years, our unique combination of domain expertise, operational excellence and innovative technologies has delivered process improvement and actionable business insight to clients to enhance their relationships with customers.
Operations and Structure
Prior to the first quarter of 2012, we had two reportable segments, Customer Management and Information Management. In March 2012, we signed a definitive agreement to sell the Information Management line of business to NEC Corporation for $449.0 in cash. The sale closed in May 2012, for which we received $456.4 in cash, including $10.9 for working capital adjustments. The Company expects to receive an additional $4.2 in cash currently held in escrow. As a result of the sale of the Information Management business, the operating results and assets and liabilities related to Information Management have been reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The total gain of the sale of the Information Management business amounted to $102.0 pretax and $16.8, net of taxes, through June 30, 2012, subject to final working capital adjustments.
In January 2011, we completed the sale of our Finance and Accounting Outsourcing line of business (F&A) for $10.0. The gain on the sale amounted to $7.0 pretax, recorded within Other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Income, and $4.3 after tax. The gain on the sale included the elimination of $2.6 of goodwill and other intangible assets. The results of operations of F&A and the sale of F&A are not material to the Company’s results of operations or financial condition, and therefore, are not reflected as discontinued operations for the periods presented.
As a result of the change in classification of the Information Management business to discontinued operations, we maintain one reporting segment; Customer Management. We will continue to report certain transactions within Corporate and Other, including costs historically allocated to the Information Management business that did not meet the criteria for discontinued operations, executive compensation and other costs. Segment information for previous periods has been reclassified to conform to the current segment reporting structure.
Customer Management
Our Customer Management segment partners with clients to deliver solutions that enhance the value of their customer relationships, turning the customer experience into a strategic differentiator. As an end-to-end single-source provider of self-service, agent-assisted and proactive care, we combine consulting, innovative technology and agent-assisted services to optimize the customer experience and strengthen customer relationships.
Agent-related revenues, which account for more than 90% of Customer Management revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2012, are typically recognized as services are performed based on staffing hours or the number of contacts handled by service agents using contractual rates. In a limited number of engagements where the client pays a fixed fee, we recognize revenues based on the specific facts and circumstances of the engagement, either using the proportional performance method or recognizing the entire amount upon final completion of the engagement. Customer Management's remaining revenues are derived from the sale of premise-based and hosted automated self-care and technology solutions. License, professional and consulting and maintenance and software support services revenues from the sale of these advanced speech recognition solutions are recognized pursuant to authoritative guidance for software revenue recognition.
We present revenue for our Customer Management segment in four verticals: Communications, Technology, Financial Services, and Other. We designate each of our clients into one of these verticals based upon the client's primary business industry. The Other vertical consists of revenue from clients outside of Customer Management’s three largest verticals.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and segment data. Detailed comparisons of revenue and expenses are presented in the discussion of our operating segment, Customer Management, along with the consolidated results discussion. Results for interim periods may not be indicative of the results for subsequent periods or the full year.
In order to assess the underlying operational performance of the continuing operations of the business, we provide non-GAAP financial measures in the tables below that exclude the following: 1) asset impairment charges of $88.6 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, including $46.0 for impairment of goodwill of the CIT reporting unit and $42.6 for impairment of facilities classified as held for sale as discussed in Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements; 2) Corporate restructuring charges resulting from the sale of the Information Management business of $6.4 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 as discussed in Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements; 3) pension and other post employment benefit plan curtailment benefit of $2.7 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, including $4.1 of curtailment credits from pension and other post employment benefit plans as discussed in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and $1.4 of post-retirement benefit costs related to changes in the executive management team; 4) certain costs previously allocated to the Information Management business that are now included in continuing operations as discussed above and in more detail in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (these costs were $2.8 and $5.9 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $8.8 and $11.5 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively); 5) the gain on the sale of the Finance and Accounting outsourcing line of business of $7.0, for the six months ended June 30, 2011, reported within other income; 6) incremental interest expense of $1.1 related to the purchase of the Orlando facility for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively; and 7) for comparability to current period results, income from our investment in the Cellular Partnerships of $10.0 and $20.2 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.
We use operating income, income from continuing operations, net of tax and earnings per share data excluding the above items to assess the underlying operational performance of the continuing operations of the business for the year and to have a basis to compare underlying results to prior and future periods. Adjustments for these charges are relevant in evaluating the overall performance of the business. Limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP measures include that these measures do not include all of the amounts associated with our results as determined in accordance with GAAP. Management compensates for these limitations by using both the non-GAAP measures (operating income, income from continuing operations, net of tax and diluted earnings per share excluding these charges) and the GAAP measures (operating income, income from continuing operations, net of tax and diluted earnings per share) in its evaluation of performance. There are no material purposes for which we use these non-GAAP measures beyond those described above.
Net charges on a per share basis include an adjustment to Diluted EPS utilizing diluted shares outstanding of 119.0 and 119.4 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. We recorded a net loss from continuing operations under
U.S. GAAP; therefore, shares outstanding utilized to calculate diluted EPS from continuing operations are equivalent to basic shares outstanding. Shares outstanding utilized to calculate Adjusted Diluted EPS from continuing operations reflect the number of diluted shares we would have reported if reporting net income from continuing operations under U.S. GAAP.
Management uses adjusted EBITDA to monitor and evaluate the performance of the business and believes the presentation of these measures will enhance investors’ ability to analyze trends in the business and evaluate the our underlying performance relative to other companies in the industry. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for income from continuing operations, net of tax, or other income statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP and our presentation of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. Management uses both the non-GAAP measure, adjusted EBITDA, and the GAAP measure, income from continuing operations, net of tax, in its evaluation of underlying performance. There are no material purposes for which we use this non-GAAP measure beyond the purposes described above. This non-GAAP measure should be considered supplemental in nature and should not be construed as being more important than comparable GAAP measures.
