Results of Operations
GAAP Results: Total revenue for the third quarter of 2020 was $244.1 million, a 3% decrease when compared to revenue of $251.4 million for the third quarter of 2019, and a 2% increase when compared to revenue of $240.3 million for the second quarter of 2020. The year-over-year decrease in revenue can be mainly attributed to the pricing adjustments associated with the five-year Comcast extension effective January 1, 2020, as well as foreign currency headwinds. The sequential quarterly increase in revenue reflects the stabilization that CSG is beginning to experience with its sales and implementation cycles and rebound in processing volumes that were both negatively impacted during the second quarter of 2020 by the COVID-19 pandemic.
GAAP operating income for the third quarter of 2020 was $28.9 million, or 11.9% of total revenue, compared to $33.4 million, or 13.3% of total revenue, for the third quarter of 2019, and $19.8 million, or 8.2% of total revenue, for the second quarter of 2020. The year-over-year decrease in operating income is mainly due to the lower third quarter 2020 revenue, discussed above. Additionally, operating income for the second quarter of 2020 was negatively impacted by the write-off of approximately $10 million of deferred contract costs resulting from the discontinuance of a project implementation.
GAAP EPS for the third quarter of 2020 was $0.42, as compared to $0.66 for the third quarter of 2019, and $0.32 for the second quarter of 2020. The decrease in GAAP EPS year-over-year can be mainly attributed to the lower operating income discussed above and foreign currency losses included in other income. The sequential quarterly increase in GAAP EPS is due primarily to the impact of the write-off of deferred contract costs, discussed above, which had a negative impact on GAAP EPS for the second quarter of 2020 of $0.23.
Non-GAAP Results: Non-GAAP adjusted revenue for the third quarter of 2020 was $227.7 million, a 3% decrease when compared to non-GAAP adjusted revenue of $235.1 million for the third quarter of 2019, and a 1% increase when compared to $224.6 million for the second quarter of 2020.
Non-GAAP operating income for the third quarter of 2020 was $39.1 million, or 17.2% of total non-GAAP adjusted revenue, compared to $42.7 million, or 18.2% of total non-GAAP adjusted revenue for the third quarter of 2019, and $30.6 million, or 13.6% of total non-GAAP adjusted revenue for the second quarter of 2020.
The changes in non-GAAP adjusted revenue and non-GAAP operating income between quarters are primarily due to the factors discussed above.
Non-GAAP EPS for the third quarter of 2020 was $0.76 compared to $0.88 for the third quarter of 2019, and $0.59 for the second quarter of 2020, with the year-over-year decrease reflective of the lower operating income.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flows
Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of September 30, 2020 were $212.1 million compared to $171.2 million as of June 30, 2020 and $182.7 million as of December 31, 2019. CSG had net cash flows from operations for the third quarters ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 of $65.2 million and $79.1 million, respectively, and had non-GAAP free cash flow of $55.3 million and $69.3 million, respectively.

DISCLOSURES FOR NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Limitations
To supplement its condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), CSG uses non-GAAP adjusted revenue, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP adjusted operating margin percentage, non-GAAP EPS, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, and non-GAAP free cash flow. CSG believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when reviewed in conjunction with its GAAP financial measures, provide investors with greater transparency to the information used by CSG’s management in its financial and operational decision making. CSG uses these non-GAAP financial measures for the following purposes:
- Certain internal financial planning, reporting, and analysis;
- Forecasting and budgeting;
- Certain management compensation incentives; and
- Communications with CSG’s Board of Directors, stockholders, financial analysts, and investors.
These non-GAAP financial measures are provided with the intent of providing investors with the following information:
- A more complete understanding of CSG’s underlying operational results, trends, and cash generating capabilities;
- Consistency and comparability with CSG’s historical financial results; and
- Comparability to similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.
Non-GAAP financial measures are not measures of performance under GAAP, and therefore should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial information. Limitations with the use of non-GAAP financial measures include the following items:
- Non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles;
- The way in which CSG calculates non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the way in which other companies calculate similar non-GAAP financial measures;
- Non-GAAP financial measures do not include all items of income and expense that affect CSG’s operations and that are required by GAAP to be included in financial statements;
- Certain adjustments to CSG’s non-GAAP financial measures result in the exclusion of items that are recurring and will be reflected in CSG’s financial statements in future periods; and
- Certain charges excluded from CSG’s non-GAAP financial measures are cash expenses, and therefore do impact CSG’s cash position.
CSG compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on its GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures as a supplement only. Additionally, CSG provides specific information regarding the treatment of GAAP amounts considered in preparing the non-GAAP financial measures and reconciles each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

CSG believes that excluding certain items in calculating its non-GAAP financial measures provides meaningful supplemental information regarding CSG’s performance and these items are excluded for the following reasons:
- Transaction fees are primarily comprised of interchange and other payment-related fees paid, in conjunction with the delivery of service to clients under CSG’s payment services contracts, to third-party payment processors and financial institutions by CSG. Because CSG controls the integrated service provided under its payment services client contracts, these transaction fees are presented gross, and not netted against revenue; however, other payments companies who do not provide and/or control an integrated service present their revenue net of transaction fees. The exclusion of these fees in calculating CSG’s non-GAAP adjusted revenue provides management and investors an additional means to use to compare CSG’s current revenue with historical and future periods, as well as with other payments companies.
- Restructuring and reorganization charges are expenses that result from cost reduction initiatives and/or significant changes to CSG’s business, to include such things as involuntary employee terminations, changes in management structure, divestitures of businesses, facility consolidations and abandonments, and fundamental reorganizations impacting operational focus and direction. These charges are not considered reflective of CSG’s recurring business operating results. The exclusion of these items in calculating CSG’s non-GAAP financial measures allows management and investors an additional means to compare CSG’s current financial results with historical and future periods.
- Executive transition costs include expenses incurred related to the departure of CSG’s CEO under the terms of his separation agreement. These costs, recognized beginning this quarter and through the end of 2020 (the CEO’s remaining term), are not considered reflective of CSG’s recurring business operating results.
