Increasing demands for quality: an opportunity for Transcom

Historically
Our task: Respond to voice calls
from customers as efficiently as
possible, at the lowest possible cost

Today
Our task has expanded:
 Deliver excellent customer experience
 New channels and technology platforms

As a consequence of changing client demands, contact center
         outsourcers’ long-established business model needs to change


•    PRICE: Ability to offer an attractive     Contract structures and vendor incentive schemes
     price level without sacrificing quality   are evolving to put greater emphasis on customer
     customer service                          loyalty and revenue generation.

                                               Rapidly evolving quality definition: greater focus
•    QUALITY: Ability to consistently          on sales performance and ability to support clients’
     achieve essential service level           strategic goals; increasing product/service
     Key Performance Indicators (KPI)          complexity; technologically- empowered consumers
                                               expect engagement on their terms!

                                               Ability to identify issues and opportunities, and to
                                               provide an environment that brings together
•    CAPABILITY TO DRIVE                       solutions, process changes and technology to drive

                                               Achieving a tight integration across different
                                               channels for customer interaction will become an
                                               even greater imperative for our clients.

Market trend:
Increased diversification in terms of market presence

• Stagnant growth in mature, Western outsourcing
  markets
• Significantly higher levels of growth in selected
  developing markets, and rising interaction volumes with
  an increasingly sophisticated customer base



         Expansion in new markets
         • Outsourcers will seek to capitalize on
            domestic opportunities in developing markets,
            to drive growth and diversify revenue
         • Traditional offshore locations also developing
            into domestic delivery centers
Market trend:
Diversification in service channels changes business models

• Social networks are emerging as important customer
     service channels
     o   Although still small in relation to voice, email and chat
• A growing number of people are more comfortable with non-
     voice channels, and expect interaction on their terms...
• …As a result, companies are getting serious about social
     media in customer service and marketing

                Increasingly sophisticated non-voice offerings
                • Outsourcers need to further develop analytics platforms
                   and KPIs specific to customer service via social media
                • Agents are not only customer service representatives;
                   they become PR agents and brand ambassadors.
                   Implications for training and recruiting
                • Channel integration will become more important

A range of disciplines underpin the
effective delivery of customer care services

• Operations: Deliver training, manage day-to-day performance and ensure that the right
     skills are available in the right place in the right quantity.


• Business Support Team (BST): Provides the intelligence and applies it to the data that is at
     the heart of the contact center. This can consist of leveraging workforce optimization tools
     such as eWFM to helping clients better understand their customers by using quality
     monitoring and advanced voice analytics.


• Human Resources (HR): The performance of finding, recruiting and training new staff or
     ensuring that tenured staff are leveraged and retained as campaigns flex in volumes, is
     essential in a “people business”


• Information Technology (IT): Contact center staff are 100% IT enabled – which means any
     break in availability has a direct and measurable impact on the business of Transcom and its
     clients. Integration to client systems, together with cost efficient call delivery, is an essential
     and fundamental component of providing outsourced contact center services.

Revenue is typically driven by the time
that our agents spend in contact with customers
                                                                                 Illustrative
                                         Actual call volume
     “Extraordinary
     circumstances”
     (~>120% of forecast)

        Volume forecast

Guaranteed volume
(~80-90% of forecast)




• Accuracy of volume forecast is key to planning and profitability
• Transcom typically commits to delivering against agreed service levels for volumes in the
     range of 80-120 percent of the forecast (non-compliance being subject to penalties)
• Average call time is capped: Transcom does not get paid for time exceeding this limit

Flexibility is critical since
our industry is very event-driven

EBITA, Q312 vs. Q311

• Overall, savings from the restructuring program were more than offset by additional expansion
  and ramp-up costs, and – to a lesser extent – by volume and efficiency deterioration in some
  regions, as well as investments in sales & support functions
• Q312 results impacted by significant expansion costs, particularly in the Philippines. Revenue
  associated with these investments will increase gradually in the coming months

  • 28. A range of disciplines underpin the effective delivery of customer care services • Operations: Deliver training, manage day-to-day performance and ensure that the right skills are available in the right place in the right quantity. • Business Support Team (BST): Provides the intelligence and applies it to the data that is at the heart of the contact center. This can consist of leveraging workforce optimization tools such as eWFM to helping clients better understand their customers by using quality monitoring and advanced voice analytics. • Human Resources (HR): The performance of finding, recruiting and training new staff or ensuring that tenured staff are leveraged and retained as campaigns flex in volumes, is essential in a “people business” • Information Technology (IT): Contact center staff are 100% IT enabled – which means any break in availability has a direct and measurable impact on the business of Transcom and its clients. Integration to client systems, together with cost efficient call delivery, is an essential and fundamental component of providing outsourced contact center services. 28

  • 32. Appendix Back-up slides and key financials, Q3 2012
  • 33. Revenue is typically driven by the time that our agents spend in contact with customers Illustrative Actual call volume “Extraordinary circumstances” (~>120% of forecast) Volume forecast Guaranteed volume (~80-90% of forecast) • Accuracy of volume forecast is key to planning and profitability • Transcom typically commits to delivering against agreed service levels for volumes in the range of 80-120 percent of the forecast (non-compliance being subject to penalties) • Average call time is capped: Transcom does not get paid for time exceeding this limit 33
  • 34. Flexibility is critical since our industry is very event-driven Example Staffing need based on actual volume Scheduled staffing level based on forecast Delayed campaign Invoice sent out two days later than forecast Time 34
  • 35. Q3 2012 Group financial results • 11.7% revenue increase 142.8 147.1 147.4 148.2 - All our regions managed to deliver growth while 132.7 CMS revenue fell • Gross margin 19.1% (19.2%) - Improvements in NAA and South offset by 25.1 27.6 26.5 27.3 28.3 decreases in other regions and CMS 2.7 2.2 2.4 2.2 • EBITA €2.2m (€-4.8m). Q311 impacted by €8.6m in -4.8 Q3 2011 Q4 2011 Q1 2012 Q2 2012 Q3 2012 restructuring- and other non-recurring costs. • EBITA margin: 1.5%, up from -3.6% in Q311 • Net currency impact: Y-o-Y Revenue +€6.4m, EBITA +€0.2m • EPS at -0.3 euro cents, compared to -31 euro cents in Q311 • Net Debt decreased by €41.3m to €32.1m; Current Net Debt / EBITDA ratio at 1.71 (4.2 in Q311) - • Net cash flow from operations €-13.2m compared to €18.9m in Q311
  • 36. EBITA, Q312 vs. Q311 • Overall, savings from the restructuring program were more than offset by additional expansion and ramp-up costs, and – to a lesser extent – by volume and efficiency deterioration in some regions, as well as investments in sales & support functions • Q312 results impacted by significant expansion costs, particularly in the Philippines. Revenue associated with these investments will increase gradually in the coming months * Underlying performance, excluding restructuring and other non-recurring costs 36
