NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES:

This news release contains non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation G. Pursuant to the requirements of this regulation, reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their comparable GAAP measures are included in the attached financial tables.

Convergys provides non-GAAP free cash flow, revenues excluding Cingular, and earnings excluding non-cash stock-based compensation expense.

Convergys' management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide management and investors with (1) a more comprehensive understanding of the company's underlying performance, (2) a useful comparison of current results with past and future results, and (3) an enhanced understanding of the company's prospects for the future. However, Convergys recognizes that there are limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures as they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results as determined in accordance Accordance is Bible Study Software for Macintosh developed by OakTree Software, Inc.[]

As well as a standalone program, it is the base software packaged by Zondervan in their Bible Study suites for Macintosh.
 with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures should be considered supplemental in nature and should not be considered in isolation or be construed as being more important than comparable GAAP measures.

Persons who compete or aspire to the same office, rank or employment. As an English word in common use, it has a much wider application. Ferriere, Dict. de Dr. h.t.  or other companies.

As described above, Convergys uses the following non-GAAP measures:

Free cash flow -- Management uses free cash flow to assess the financial performance of the company. Convergys' management believes that free cash flow is useful to investors because it relates the operating cash flow Operating cash flow

Earnings before depreciation minus taxes. Measures the cash generated from operations, not counting capital spending or working capital requirements.

 cash flow available for discretionary expenditures as it does not incorporate certain cash payments including payments made on capital lease obligations or cash payments for business acquisitions. Management compensates for these limitations by utilizing both the non-GAAP measure, free cash flow, and the GAAP measure, cash from operating activities, in its evaluation of performance. There are no material purposes for which we use this non-GAAP measure beyond the purposes described above.

Revenues excluding Cingular -- The company uses revenues excluding Cingular to assess the revenue growth of the business excluding the impact of Cingular's migration of acquired subscribers off of AT&T Wireless's billing and customer care systems that was announced in 2004. Prior to the acquisition of AT&T Wireless by Cingular in 2004, AT&T Wireless was Convergys' largest client. For the first year after the merger, the company experienced a decline in customer care revenue primarily as a result of business changes instituted by Cingular related to former AT&T Wireless operations. Over the past year, the company has been assisting Cingular with migrating subscribers off of the AT&T Wireless billing systems that Convergys supports onto Cingular's in-house In-house

 systems, one of which Convergys continues to support. As a result of this migration, data processing revenues from Cingular have declined. Limitations associated with the use of this non-GAAP measure include that this measure does not include all of the amounts associated with our results as determined in accordance with GAAP. Management compensates for these limitations by utilizing both the non-GAAP measure, revenues excluding Cingular, and the GAAP measure, revenues, in its evaluation of performance. There are no material purposes for which we use this non-GAAP measure beyond the purposes described above.

Earnings excluding non-cash stock-based compensation expense -- Management uses earnings excluding non-cash stock-based compensation expense to compare operating results to competitors, without regard to the impact of various long-term Long-term

Limitations associated with the use of this non-GAAP measure include that this measure does not include all of the amounts associated with our results as determined in accordance with GAAP.

Free cash flow - Management uses free cash flow to assess the
financial performance of the Company. Convergys' management believes
that free cash flow is useful to investors because it relates the
operating cash flow of the Company to the capital that is spent to
continue and improve business operations, such as investment in the
Company's existing businesses. Further, free cash flow facilitates
management's ability to strengthen the Company's balance sheet, to
repurchase the Company's stock and to repay the Company's debt
obligations. Limitations associated with the use of free cash flow
include that it does not represent the residual cash flow available
for discretionary expenditures as it does not incorporate certain cash
payments including payments made on capital lease obligations or cash
payments for business acquisitions. Management compensates for these
limitations by utilizing both the non-GAAP measure, free cash flow,
and the GAAP measure, cash from operating activities, in its
evaluation of performance. There are no material purposes for which we
use this non-GAAP measure beyond the purposes described above.

The Company uses revenues excluding Cingular to assess the revenue
growth of the business excluding the impact of Cingular's migration of
acquired subscribers off of AT&T Wireless' billing and customer care
systems that was announced in 2004. Prior to the acquisition of AT&T
Wireless by Cingular in 2004, AT&T Wireless was Convergys' largest
client. For the first year after the merger, the Company experienced a
decline in customer care revenue primarily as a result of business
changes instituted by Cingular related to former AT&T Wireless
operations. Over the past year, the Company has been assisting
Cingular with migrating subscribers off of the AT&T Wireless billing
systems that Convergys supports onto Cingular's in-house systems, one
of which Convergys continues to support. As a result of this
migration, data processing revenues from Cingular have declined.
Limitations associated with the use of this non-GAAP measure include
that this measure does not include all of the amounts associated with
our results as determined in accordance with GAAP. Management
compensates for these limitations by utilizing both the non-GAAP
measure, revenues excluding Cingular, and the GAAP measure, revenues,
in its evaluation of performance. There are no material purposes for
which we use this non-GAAP measure beyond the purposes described
above.

Earnings excluding non-cash stock-based compensation expense -
Management uses earnings excluding non-cash stock-based compensation
expense to compare operating results to competitors, without regard to
the impact of various long-term incentive plans, including stock
option and restricted stock compensation approaches. Management
believes the stock-based compensation plans of competitors vary, and,
therefore, comparison of the Company's results to those of its
competitors on a GAAP EPS basis alone would not be as useful,
particularly during the transition to SFAS 123R reporting.
Management also believes excluding these expenses facilitates
comparison to the Company's historical performance. For this latter
reason, Management does not allocate these expenses to the Company's
segment results, and excludes these expenses from internal analysis of
business segment results. Limitations associated with the use of this
non-GAAP measure include that this measure does not include all of the
amounts associated with our results as determined in accordance with
GAAP. Management compensates for these limitations by utilizing both
the non-GAAP measures, earnings excluding non-cash stock-based
compensation expense, and the GAAP measures, income before tax, net
income and diluted earnings per share, in its evaluation of
performance. There are no material purposes for which we use this
non-GAAP measure beyond the purpose described above.
