Operating Performance by Segment Information Management Group (IMG IMG International medical graduate, see there )

Excluding intercompany sales, second quarter 2003 IMG revenues decreased 15 percent to $194.6 million, from $229.2 million in the same period last year. Compared to the first quarter of 2003, IMG revenues decreased by only 1 percent. Data processing data processing or information processing, operations (e.g., handling, merging, sorting, and computing) performed upon data in accordance with strictly defined procedures, such as recording and summarizing the financial transactions of a  revenues decreased 20 percent to $111.7 million from $139.1 million, representing an 8 percent year-over-year decrease in wireless subscribers processed, and lower average per-wireless-subscriber processing rates, partially offset by an increase in cable data processing revenues. The decrease in wireless subscribers resulted from conversions off Convergys systems during the third quarter of 2002 and the second quarter of 2003, partially offset by slight subscriber growth among Convergys' other wireless clients.

Professional and consulting revenues decreased 47 percent to $26.6 million from $50.5 million reflecting a reduction in system enhancement requests and implementations of new systems from Convergys' wireless and cable clients as communications companies continued their constraints CONSTRAINTS - A language for solving constraints using value inference.

 on IT spending. License and other revenues increased slightly to $15.4 million from $12.5 million reflecting the expanded relationships with several cable clients. In addition, international revenues increased 51 percent to $40.9 reflecting growth in license and professional and consulting revenues generated from the company's European and Middle Eastern operations and combined revenue growth of approximately $10 million resulting from both the July, 2002, acquisition of TelesensKSCL and Convergys' expansion in the Asia Pacific and Latin American markets.

Second quarter operating income for IMG decreased 42 percent to $29.1 million from $50.4 million. Operating margin was 15.0 percent compared with 22.0 percent from the second quarter of last year reflecting lower revenues, higher medical and pension benefit costs, and IMG's further international expansion. This was partially offset by savings realized through the restructuring restructuring - The transformation from one representation form to another at the same relative abstraction level, while preserving the subject system's external behaviour (functionality and semantics).  Convergys began in the fourth quarter of 2002. Compared to the first quarter of 2003, second quarter operating income for IMG increased 3 percent as operating margin increased to 15.0 percent compared with 14.3 percent.

CMG's second quarter operating income declined 4 percent to $43.8 million compared to $45.7 million in the prior year. CMG reported an 11.9 percent operating margin in the second quarter of 2003, down from the 13.3 percent reported in the second quarter of 2002. The decline reflects increases in wage, medical, and pension benefit costs, and increased investment in the Employee Care business, partially offset by the increase in revenues.

2003 Financial Guidance

For the full year of 2003, IMG revenue could decline by 10 to 15 percent from 2002 levels, and IMG operating margin could be approximately 15 percent.

IMG third quarter revenue could remain relatively flat from second quarter levels.

For the full year of 2003, CMG revenue could increase 6 to 11 percent from the 2002 level, and CMG operating margin could be from 11 to 13 percent.

CMG third quarter revenue could increase moderately from the second quarter.

We expect third quarter EPS to be in the range of $0.28 to $0.31. Including the cellular partnership settlement in the first quarter, for the full year of 2003 we expect EPS to be in the range of $1.05 to $1.20.
