Insights

TTEC posted a soft Q1 with a GAAP loss but maintained full-year 2026 guidance.

TTEC saw Q1 2026 revenue decline to $496.2M from $534.2M, with income from operations down to $18.5M. Higher net interest expense and a very high effective tax rate of 297.6% drove a net loss of $7.6M attributable to stockholders.

On an adjusted basis, non-GAAP income from operations was $31.7M and adjusted EBITDA was $45.8M, both below the prior year. Non-GAAP EPS fell to $0.15 from $0.28. Segment results showed year-over-year revenue and margin pressure in both TTEC Engage and TTEC Digital.

Management reaffirmed full-year 2026 guidance, including total revenue of $2,005M–$2,055M, adjusted EBITDA of $220M–$240M, and non-GAAP EPS of $1.06–$1.32. This implies expectations for stronger performance in later quarters relative to Q1.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA | | $ | 45,782 | | | $ | 56,428 | Adjusted EBITDA Margin"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
Non-GAAP EPS financial
"Non-GAAP EPS | | $ | 0.15 | | | $ | 0.28 | Reconciliation of Free Cash Flow"
Non-GAAP EPS is a measure of a company's profit per share that excludes certain expenses or income items that are included in standard accounting reports. It is used by investors to get a clearer picture of the company's core performance, much like removing one-time costs from a personal budget to see regular spending habits. This adjusted figure helps investors compare companies more consistently and understand their ongoing profitability.
Free Cash Flow financial
"Free Cash Flow | | $ | 21,135 | | | $ | 16,186 |"
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
restructuring charges financial
"Restructuring charges, net | | | 1,450 | | | | 1,996 | Impairment losses"
Restructuring charges are costs that a company pays when it changes how it operates, like closing factories or laying off employees. These expenses are often one-time and happen to help the company become more efficient in the long run. They matter because they can affect the company's profits and how investors see its future prospects.
effective tax rate financial
"Effective Tax Rate | | | 297.6 | % | | | 74.2 | %"
The effective tax rate is the percentage of a company's profits that it pays in taxes. It shows how much of its earnings go to taxes after all deductions and credits are considered. For investors, it indicates how much of the company's income is taken by taxes, impacting overall profitability and financial health.
forward-looking statements regulatory
"This Earnings Press Release and related oral statements contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.
Revenue $496.2M
Net (loss) attributable to stockholders $(7.6M)
Non-GAAP EPS $0.15
Adjusted EBITDA $45.8M
Guidance

For full-year 2026, TTEC guides revenue to $2,005M–$2,055M, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA to $220M–$240M, non-GAAP operating income to $159M–$179M, and non-GAAP EPS to $1.06–$1.32.

With this sales momentum and a growing pipeline, we are confident we will deliver meaningful growth in our diversified practices throughout the remainder of the year. In TTEC Engage, we continue to focus on profit optimization through the rationalization of certain underperforming clients, infusing AI-technology into business process enhancements, and growing our offshore revenue mix. These initiatives are anticipated to deliver profitability improvements throughout the remainder of the year,” commented Kenny Wagers, chief financial officer of TTEC.

 

Wagers continued, “Our confidence in the business segments remains unchanged and we are re-affirming our full year guidance.”

The company has not quantitatively reconciled its guidance for Non-GAAP operating income, Non-GAAP operating income margins, Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA margins, Non-GAAP adjusted tax rate, or Non-GAAP earnings per share to their respective most comparable GAAP measures because certain of the reconciling items that impact these metrics, including restructuring and impairment charges, equity-based compensation expense, changes in acquisition contingent consideration, depreciation and amortization expense, and provision for income taxes are dependent on the timing of future events outside of the Company’s control or cannot be reliably predicted. Accordingly, the Company is unable to provide reconciliations to GAAP operating income, operating income margins, EBITDA margins, and diluted earnings per share without unreasonable effort. Please note that the unavailable reconciling items could significantly impact the Company’s 2025 financial results as reported under GAAP.
