CSG Systems International, Inc. Extends Contract with Comcast Through 2012
CSG Systems International, Inc. (Nasdaq: CSGS), a leading provider of
customer interaction management solutions, today announced that it has
entered into a restated and amended multi-year Master Subscriber
Management System Agreement (the "Agreement”)
with Comcast that extends CSG’s current
contractual relationship with the nation's leading provider of
entertainment, information and communications products and services
through December 31, 2012, which constitutes a four-year extension to CSG’s
current contract with Comcast. The expected scope of the customer care
and billing products and services to be utilized by Comcast under the
new Agreement is consistent with the previous contract.
"We are very pleased to have the opportunity
to serve Comcast as a trusted and valued partner well into the future,”
said Peter Kalan, Chief Executive Officer of CSG Systems. "We
look forward to the opportunity to continue to offer Comcast solutions
that effectively manage meaningful customer interactions. Under the new
agreement, we can continue to deliver technology, solutions and service
to Comcast, while also providing Comcast the flexibility to adjust the
scope of the relationship based on market demands and business needs.” "CSG has provided important services to
Comcast in recent years,” said Andy Baer,
Comcast Chief Information Officer. "We
appreciate the customer-focused approach that CSG brings to Comcast’s
business, and look forward to continuing the relationship.”
Additional details regarding the terms of this Agreement are included in
CSG’s Form 8-K dated July 14, 2008. A copy of
the Agreement (with confidential information redacted) will be filed as
an exhibit to CSG’s Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended September 30, 2008.
Financial Guidance
As indicated when CSG last provided financial guidance on April 22,
2008, CSG’s 2008 guidance included the
expected impact of the Comcast and DISH Network renewal discussions.
This Agreement fell within the range of CSG’s
previous expectations, and the expectations around the DISH Network
renewal are unchanged at this time. Therefore, CSG is reaffirming its
previously communicated guidance for 2008.
Conference Call
CSG will host a conference call on Monday, July 14, 2008, at 10:00 a.m.
EDT, to discuss the Agreement in more detail. To reach the conference,
dial (303) 275-2170 and ask the operator for the CSG Systems
International Inc. conference call, Roger Metz, chairperson.

Forward-Looking Statements
This news release contains forward-looking statements as defined under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, that are based on assumptions
about a number of important factors and involve risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to differ materially from what appears
in this news release. These factors include, but are not limited to: 1)
the concentration of approximately two-thirds of CSG’s
revenues with four clients; as a result, the loss of business from any
one of those clients could potentially have a material adverse impact to
CSG’s financial results; 2) continued market
acceptance of CSG’s Advanced Convergent
Platform (ACP) and related products and services; 3) CSG's ability to
continuously develop and enhance products in a timely, cost-effective,
technically advanced and competitive manner; 4) CSG’s
dependency on the North American communications industry; as a result,
key market factors such as further industry consolidation, new market
entrants that may not be clients of CSG, economic conditions, and/or the
financial status of CSG clients may affect CSG’s
ability to maintain and expand market share; 5) increasing competition
in our market from companies of greater size and with broader presence
in the communications sector, thus exerting greater influence over
client buying decisions; 6) CSG’s ability to
successfully integrate and manage acquired businesses, technology or
assets to achieve the expected strategic, operating and financial goals
established for such acquisitions; 7) CSG’s
continued ability to protect its intellectual property rights; and 8) CSG’s
dependency on a variety of computing environments and communications
networks, thus subjecting CSG to the risks of extended interruptions,
outages, unauthorized access and corruption of data. This list is not
exhaustive and readers are encouraged to review the additional risks and
important factors described in CSG's reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q and
other filings made with the SEC.
