Commenting on this performance, Teleperformance Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Daniel Julien said: “Once again, Teleperformance set new records for growth, profitability and job creation worldwide in 2019. We embraced digital transformation by combining high-touch and high-tech strategies to deliver an enhanced, more personalized customer experience that is ‘simpler, safer, faster’.

With revenue of €5,355 million, or US$6 billion*, we consolidated our global leadership in outsourced omnichannel customer experience management by integrating digital solutions.

On the back of our financial position and our results, we are investing in support of our clients, including in cybersecurity and artificial intelligence, while also developing high-quality work environments, promoting our employees and paying out a healthy dividend to our shareholders.

We are a conscious, proactive corporate citizen. As proof of that fact, we have earned recognitions, by Vigeo and MSCI, as well as Great Place to Work and Best Place to Work honors on numerous occasions: 70% of Teleperformance employees across five continents currently work at a subsidiary that has won a special distinction for the quality of its work environment.

In 2020, we will remain committed to our growth project, to deepening our client partnerships and achieving progress alongside all our stakeholders. Our ambition is to become a leading reference worldwide, as a group delivering services that create value for consumers, clients, employees, partners and shareholders.

We expect to continue growing by more than +7% like-for-like – far faster than the market – while also improving our margins, creating more jobs and making further progress on our CSR indicators.

It’s up to us to shape the future, leveraging a vision, energy and opportunities despite the challenges and risks, as always thanks to the enthusiasm and engagement of each and every contributor.”

Consolidated revenue

Revenue amounted to €5,355 million in the year ended December 31, 2019, representing a year-on-year increase of +10.6% at constant exchange rates and scope of consolidation (like-for-like) and of +20.6% as reported. The difference in the growth rates reflects a favorable currency effect of +€96 million, due mainly to the US dollar’s rise against the euro, and the +€338 million positive scope effect from the consolidation of ex‑Intelenet operations in the Group’s financial statements since October 1, 2018.

Like-for-like growth continued to be supported by strong gains in the Core Services & D.I.B.S. business in every operating region, especially Ibero-LATAM. Specialized Services confirmed their return to robust growth in the second half.

Fourth-quarter 2019 revenue stood at €1,439 million, an increase of +8.4% on a like-for-like basis compared with a high basis of comparison the prior-year period. On a reported basis, a favorable currency effect raised growth to +11.1% for the quarter.

** Ex-Intelenet activities in the Middle East
(1) According to the new business segment reporting presentation adopted on January 1, 2019 (see Appendix 3)

• Core Services & Digital Integrated Business Services (D.I.B.S.)

Core Services & D.I.B.S. revenue amounted to €4,650 million in 2019, a year-on-year increase of +11.1% like‑for-like. On a reported basis, revenue ended the year up +21.9%, led by the consolidation of ex-Intelenet operations since October 1, 2018 and the favorable currency effect stemming from the US dollar’s rise against the euro.

The strong like-for-like gain was supported in particular by the fast, steady growth in business throughout the year in the Ibero-LATAM region. The other regions – English-speaking & Asia-Pacific (EWAP), Continental Europe & MEA (CEMEA) and India & Middle East – contributed to this good performance to a lesser extent.

Fourth-quarter 2019 like-for-like growth of +8.2% in revenue reflected an especially high basis of comparison, due to the ramp-up of a large number of new contracts in the final quarter of 2018, particularly in the English-speaking & Asia-Pacific and the Continental Europe & MEA regions.

• English-speaking & Asia-Pacific (EWAP)

Regional revenue come to €1,715 million in 2019, up +6.0% like-for-like and +14.5% as reported, i.e., including the favorable currency effect stemming from the US dollar’s rise against the euro and the positive impact of the consolidation of ex-Intelenet operations.

Like-for-like revenue growth in the fourth quarter came to +3.5%. In particular, operations in the region benefited in late 2018 from the renewed sales momentum in North America and the rapid ramp-up of the multilingual hub in Malaysia.

Over the year, the North American operations capitalized on fast growth in demand from the healthcare segment, thanks to the deployment of digital transformation solutions for leading health insurance providers, particularly in the area of back-office processes. The fastest growing client segments and leading contributors to the business stream were e-tailing, transportation services and logistics, while the insurance, entertainment and automotive industries continued to ramp up rapidly. The contribution from the consumer electronics industry was down compared to the other client segments. The offshore operations in the Philippines, which primarily serve the North American market, trended upwards over the year.

In Asia, the sustained growth in Malaysia reflected the success of the high tech, high touch approach embedded in the content moderation solutions deployed for leading social media companies. In the second half, revenue was also lifted by the start-up of new contracts for multilingual solutions in the consumer goods, insurance and transportation & logistics services industries.

Revenue from operations in the United Kingdom declined over the year in a persistently uncertain economic environment. The new organization set up during the year is aimed at restoring the growth dynamic in 2020.

• Ibero-LATAM

In 2019, revenue for the Ibero-LATAM region amounted to €1,360 million, a year-on-year increase of +18.5% like-for-like and of +17.6% as reported, mainly due to the decline in the Argentine peso, Colombian peso and Brazilian real against the euro.

Like-for-like growth reached +22.5% in the fourth quarter, after a gradual pick up over the second half.

Nearshore solutions represented a major regional growth driver, for example in Colombia, to serve leading digital economy clients in the transportation and other sectors, and in Mexico, notably in financial services and logistics.

At the same time, domestic markets were dynamic, particularly in Colombia and Argentina, with the quick ramp-up in the financial services, consumer goods and automotive markets.

In Portugal, the Group’s business is still being supported by the rapid expansion of multilingual hubs serving multinational clients in the Internet and online entertainment segments. The transportation and logistics markets are expanding very quickly too.

Lastly, the Group continued to deliver solid performances in Brazil, particularly in the financial services and transportation segments.

• Continental Europe & MEA (CEMEA)

In the CEMEA region, revenue rose by +10.2% like-for-like to €1,067 million in 2019, or by +10.8% as reported. Like-for-like revenue growth in the fourth quarter came to +2.5%. It includes a high basis of comparison, with the ramp-up of many new contracts in the fourth quarter 2018.

Over the full year, growth was led by very strong contract wins from multinational clients and fast-growing local market leaders in a wide range of industries.

The primary regional growth drivers were the online entertainment, e-tailing and financial services segments. Business continued to ramp up quickly in the automotive, transportation and logistics markets, but stalled in consumer electronics.

By country, business was mainly driven by sustained growth in revenue in Greece (multilingual hubs), in Eastern Europe (Russia and Poland), where Teleperformance significantly increased its capacity in 2018, and in Turkey.

Operations in France continued to deliver a satisfactory performance thanks to the ongoing ramp-up of new contracts, primarily in the energy and utilities segments.

• India & Middle East

Operations in the India & Middle East region generated €508 million in revenue in 2019, up +13.0% like‑for‑like from the prior year.

In the fourth quarter, like-for-like growth came to +2.6%, reflecting the completion of ramp-up on the significant new contracts that began in late 2018 and the termination of low-margin contracts in domestic activities in India.

The satisfactory full-year like-for-like growth was attributable to the sustained, fast-paced expansion of TP India offshore activities, particularly in the transportation and travel services segment. Because the ex-Intelenet operations were first consolidated in the fourth quarter of 2018, the region’s 2019 like-for-like growth only includes their fourth-quarter contribution.

• Specialized Services

In 2019, revenue from Specialized Services rose year-on-year by +7.6% like-for-like and by +12.6% as reported.

In the fourth quarter, growth clearly gained momentum over the year, coming in at +9.5% like-for-like.

After returning to more normative levels in the first half, growth in LanguageLine Solutions revenue gradually accelerated over the rest of the year.

TLScontact’s visa application management services delivered solid growth, led by the satisfactory improvement in sales of value-added services to applicants seeking UK visas and a more favorable basis of comparison in the second half.

Earnings by activity

EBITDA before non-recurring items is higher than €1 billion for the first time at €1,138 million for the year, up +49.2% compared with 2018. Of the total, €208 million stemmed from the favorable impact of applying IFRS 16.

EBITA before non-recurring items rose by +26.7% to €764 million from €603 million the year before. EBITA margin before non-recurring items widened by 70 basis points to 14.3%, from 13.6% in 2018. Excluding the impact of applying IFRS 16 from January 1, 2019, the margin improved by nearly 30 basis points.

* In accordance with IFRS 16
(1) According to the new business segment reporting presentation adopted on January 1, 2019 (see Appendix 3)

• Core Services & D.I.B.S.

Core Services & D.I.B.S reported EBITA before non-recurring items of €539 million in 2019, up from €409 million in 2018. The margin rose by +90 basis points to 11.6%, from 10.7% in the prior-year period. Excluding the positive impact of applying IFRS 16 from January 1, 2019, the margin was still significantly higher than a year earlier.

The improvement was primarily due to the continued recovery in margins in the EWAP, CEMEA and India & Middle East regions. Margins in the Ibero-LATAM region remained high, despite a slight contraction due to the cost of starting up numerous new facilities.

• English-speaking & Asia-Pacific (EWAP)

EBITA before non-recurring items in the EWAP region rose to €154 million from €131 million in 2018, while the margin widened to 9.0% from 8.7% the year before. Excluding the positive impact of applying IFRS 16 from January 1, 2019, the margin was relatively stable year-on-year.

During the year, margin growth was supported by the ramp-up of recently signed contracts, relating in particular to domestic business in North America and multilingual solutions in Malaysia. However, this same growth was dampened, particularly in the second half, by weaker business in the United Kingdom and China, the gradual phase-out of operations in Australia and the investments committed by the Group to open up new markets, such as Japan.

The Group is committed to improving its margins in the region in 2020.

• Ibero-LATAM

EBITA before non-recurring items in the Ibero-LATAM region rose to €156 million in 2019 from €137 million the year before.

Margin remained high, at 11.4%, though lower than in 2018. The contraction was due to the cost of ramping up major new sites, such as the new capacity brought on stream in Portugal and Colombia, and the expansion of existing facilities in Brazil.

The Group is committed to maintaining its margin in the region in 2020.

• Continental Europe & MEA (CEMEA)

In 2019, Teleperformance continued to improve the profitability of its operations in the CEMEA region, where EBITA before non-recurring items rose to €89 million from €68 million in 2018. Margin stood at 8.3% and, excluding the positive impact of applying IFRS 16 from January 1, 2019, it still showed a sharp improvement on the prior year, lifted by:

- sustained strong, profitable growth in business with global and premium clients in a certain number of countries in Southern and Eastern Europe, such as Greece with its highly efficient multilingual solutions, Russia and Turkey;
- ongoing margin recovery in French-speaking operations, led by robust growth in nearshore business.

The Group’s objective is to continue improving its margins in the region in 2020.

• India & Middle East

EBITA before non-recurring items in the India & Middle East region amounted to €81 million in 2019, versus €26 million the year before. The corresponding margin stood at 16.0% and, excluding the positive impact of applying IFRS 16 from January 1, 2019, it still showed a strong improvement on the prior year.

The margin was lifted throughout the year by profitable growth in business at TP India. It also benefited from the positive impact of the first-time consolidation of the ex-Intelenet operations and the termination of low-margin domestic contracts at the end of the year.

The Group is committed to improving its margins in the region in 2020.

• Specialized Services

Specialized Services reported EBITA before non-recurring items of €225 million in 2019, versus €194 million the previous year. Margin widened to 31.8% from 30.9% in 2018 as reported and was up sharply for the year excluding the positive impact of applying IFRS 16 from January 1, 2019.

The margin of Specialized Services benefited in full from the development of value-added services of TLScontact on behalf of the UK government and from highly profitable growth at LanguageLine Solutions.

The Group’s objective is to maintain the high margin on its Specialized Services in 2020.

Other income statement items

EBIT amounted to €621 million for the year, versus €485 million in 2018. It included:

• €109 million in amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, versus €88 million the year before, with the increase resulting from the acquisition of Intelenet on October 1, 2018;

• €25 million in accounting expenses relating to performance share plans;

• €9 million in other non-recurring expenses, mainly including the last round of costs associated with changing the Group’s brand identity in late 2018;

• the €22 million favorable impact from applying IFRS 16 from January 1, 2019.

The financial result represented a net expense of €90 million, versus €50 million in 2018, and included a €46 million expense related to the application of IFRS 16. Restated for that impact, net financial expense declined over the year, reflecting the reduction in the Group’s net debt at December 31.

Income tax expense amounted to €131 million, corresponding to an average tax rate of 24.7%, versus 28.0% in 2018. The decline was primarily attributable to the reduction in the corporate income tax rate in India during the year.

Net profit - Group share totaled €400 million, up +28.3% over the year before, and included a -€18 million negative impact related to the application of IFRS 16. Diluted earnings per share came to €6.81 in 2019, versus €5.29 in 2018, and included an unfavorable impact of €0.28 per share from the application of IFRS 16.

Cash flows and financial structure

Cash flow after lease expenses, interest and tax paid amounted to €721 million, versus €527 million the year before. The strong growth in revenue very late in the year meant that working capital requirement ended 2019 at €148 million (outflow), compared with €49 million in 2018.

Net capital expenditure amounted to €252 million, compared with €196 million in 2018, and represented 4.7% of revenue, up from 4.4% last year. The increase reflected the robust growth in demand in the Group's markets.

Net free cash flow came to €321 million, up from €282 million in 2018.

After the payment of €111 million in dividends, net debt stood at €2,665 million at December 31, 2019, including €730 million from the unfavorable impact of applying IFRS 16.

The Group’s balance sheet is very solid, with a net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA ratio of 2.06x in 2019, excluding the impact of applying IFRS 16.

2019 operating highlights

These key appointments reflect the commitment to strengthening the executive team to support the Group’s faster transformation into a leading global business services provider in integrated digital solutions. Eric Dupuy was appointed President of Global Business Development.

In October 2019, Teleperformance inaugurated the Teleperformance Innovation Experience Center (T.I.E.C.) in Santa Clara, California. It is now showcasing the Group's global expertise and comprehensive innovative digital solutions.

• Global roll-out of a new cybersecurity program

During the year, Teleperformance launched the Eagle Project to strengthen cybersecurity across all its operations worldwide, an issue that is a core component of its value proposition. In particular, the project involves conducting a major employee awareness-building and training campaign, embedding security into solution design and revamping the network architecture to improve risk identification.

• Consolidation of the CSR organization

In January 2019, Teleperformance consolidated its corporate social responsibility (CSR) organization, with the expansion of the dedicated team and the strengthening if the procedures. This new organization is tasked with structuring and strengthening the Group’s CSR process worldwide, relying on the United Nations Global Compact, which the Group has pledged to support since 2011. The aim is also to better value the whole set of the Group’s CSR initiatives for all the stakeholders.

APPENDICES

Appendix 1 – Application of IFRS 16 concerning lease accounting from January 1, 2019

The accounting policies applied in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of June 30, 2019 are the same as those at June 30, 2018, with the exception of IFRS 16 concerning lease accounting which has been applied from January 1, 2019.

As the group has elected to apply IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach, the 2018 comparative amounts have not been restated.

Under IFRS 16, all lease contracts are now recognized on the statement of financial position, measured by discounting the future contractual lease payments to present value. This results in the recognition of a new specific non-current asset and financial liabilities.

The “right-of-use” asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term; the lease liability is increased by the interest expense of the period and reduced by the amount of lease payments.

Appendix 3 – Business Reporting Presentation

Preamble: new presentation by region
Further to the acquisition of Intelenet in October 2018, Teleperformance adopted a new organization of its operating regions on January 1, 2019, resulting in the creation of a new region – India & Middle East. It also altered the Group’s reportable segments.

* Praxidia has been grouped with Intelenet’s Knowledge Services operations, based in India.

In addition, following the acquisition of Intelenet and the execution of the Group's strategy to deploy its digital solutions across the organization, Teleperformance's “digital” activities in each of the four Core Services regions now come under the umbrella of Digital Integrated Business Services (D.I.B.S.).

In addition to the activities in the India & Middle East region, D.I.B.S. includes BPO activities, as well as e-mail, chat and social networks (content moderation) solutions of the Group.

This business reporting presentation reflects the new organization to consider the upscaling of the solutions and the digitalization of the offering of Teleperformance to more effectively meet its clients’ needs in terms of their development and their digital transformation.
