Transcom is riding the key trends that will shape the industry going forwardDigitalisation, shift in service mix, market consolidation and increased outsourcing to drive market development

New technologies

and ongoing

digitalisation

Service mix change towards higher-value interactions

Market consolidation

Increasing outsourcing share

▪ The service mix changes towards value-added care, sales, and outbound provide

significant upside

▪ New high-margin care models (in- and out-bound) are emerging and many companies

are shifting volume to pro-active outbound care and sales

▪ Companies follow different archetypes in their customer experience models

▪ Additional volume from increasing outsourcing drives ~25% of the annual market

growth

▪ The need to access capabilities remains a fundamental growth driver, especially given

the increased digital interaction complexity

▪ Continued push for lower cost and improved customer experience

▪ New technologies, such as AI and analytics, will have a significant long-term impact and

shape the future of the CRM/BPO industry

▪ However, the market will continue to be dominated by human interactions in the

foreseeable future

▪ New technologies will automate some interactions but mainly augment agent capabilities

▪ Focus is moving from voice to text-based channels

▪ Market is consolidating through mega-deals and smaller roll-ups

▪ Vendors pursue consolidation path acquiring other global and local players to strengthen

delivery footprint and industry exposure

▪ Financial investors continue to remain interested in the segment (e.g. GBL’s acquisition

of Webhelp)

▪ Transcom has pursued a targeted M&A agenda since its take-private by Altor in 2017

▪ Key drivers behind the acquisitions include the strengthening of its positioning in growth markets (e.g. e-commerce and utilities), further penetration of

selected geographies (e.g. the Nordics, Germany and the US), the enhancement of near- and off-shore capabilities (e.g. Albania and Philippines) as well

as the improvement of operating performance and profitability

▪ By acquiring ASA Informationsdienste in 2019, Transcom carried-out its first carve-out deal – a transaction type which could be of increasing relevance

for the business going forward

Underlying stable revenue development with profitability upliftFocus on attractive markets, operational improvement, accretive M&A and delivery footprint optimisation

28

▪ Shift towards attractive growth segments, incl. e-commerce and utilities, which account

for 67% of sales as of 2019A. Despite a decline in overall sales from 2017A to 2019A, the

underlying sales development was not negative

▪ Top-line decreased over the period primarily following the termination of a loss-making

customer within telco & cable in 2017/18A, the discontinuation of brick & mortar

operations in the US (migrating to a work-at-home model), the exit from unprofitable

contracts and the divestment of parts of the Spanish business

▪ The above was offset by acquired growth, mainly with the addition of Awesome, as well

as positive momentum in Q4 from the inflow of new contracts in prioritised markets

EBITDASales

▪ Strong EBITDA margin expansion from 6.3% in 2017A to 9.2% in 2019A

▪ Profitability uplift mainly from the implementation of the PPP programme, accretive M&A

and an increase in off-shore delivery:

▪ PPP programme (~€30m cost take-out): increased operational efficiency within call

centers through enhanced team leader utilisation; rightsizing based on process

improvements, improved agent to support staff ratios and de-layering; reduction of

overhead functions and transfer of resources on to shared service centers

▪ M&A: positive impact from the acquisition of higher-margin businesses, incl. Xzakt

(multi-client servicing for SMEs) and Awesome (e-commerce servicing from the

Philippines), as well as the divestment of unprofitable operations in Latin America

▪ Off-shore: increase in high-margin off-shore delivery footprint

2017A

▪ Xzakt was acquired in mid-2017 (consolidated from July 1st 2017). In this presentation

the P&L excludes the results from Xzakt up until the acquisition. In the public

presentation the numbers are presented on a pro-forma basis, i.e. such as if Xzakt

had been acquired January 1st 2017

2018A

▪ EBITDA difference due to rounding

2019A

▪ Revenues: as part of an agreement with a customer (following a dispute)

revenues/invoicing of €1.6m was written-off. Internally the company views this as a

one-off impact on revenue. As the numbers in this presentation are presented on an

adjusted basis, revenues are, as in the internal management accounts, presented

excluding the one-off write down. In the public information presented on an adjusted

basis, this one-off impact is instead taken into account within cost of sales, resulting in

revenues of €541.5m and €1.6m lower costs (i.e. neutral EBITDA impact)

▪ Adjusted EBITA: the P&L in this presentation is sourced from internal management

accounts and presented in accordance with the management accounts. One account

in the management accounts is “service fee”, which relates to FX differences on

internally charged management fees and is reported below EBITA in the management

accounts and presented in that way in this presentation. However, management’s

view is that this is in fact an operational item and hence the net impact is presented

above EBITA in the public information. For 2019A, the service fee/FX item was €(19)k

▪ Adjusted EBITDA: difference refers to; i) same difference as on EBITA level and ii)

that the interest component related to IFRS16 is treated below EBITA in this

presentation (when excl. IFRS16 it should be treated above EBITA which is not done

in this presentation due to the relatively immaterial amount)

Q4 2019A

▪ No difference on revenue and EBITA, difference on EBITDA same explanation as in

the 2019A period but the impact is only for 3 months
