Operating Performance by Segment

Information Management Group (IMG)

Excluding intercompany sales, third quarter 2000 IMG revenues increased 18 percent to $201.8 million, from $170.3 million in the same period last year. 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 increased 14 percent to $125.3 million from $110.3 million, primarily as a result of subscriber growth at the company's key wireless clients. Professional and consulting revenues increased 27 percent to $44.4 million reflecting increased enhancement requests from wireless carriers including Sprint PCS (1) (Personal Communications Services) Refers to wireless services that emerged after the U.S. government auctioned commercial licenses in 1994 and 1995. This radio spectrum in the 1.  and Verizon. License and other increased to $12.8 million from $10.4 million due to growth in cable support fees. International revenues increased nearly $5 million or 31 percent to $19.3 million, primarily reflecting fees associated with wireless billing contracts.

Operating income for IMG increased 25 percent to $43.0 million from $34.3 million. Operating margin for IMG in the third quarter was 21.3 percent compared to 20.1 percent in the third quarter last year. IMG's results reflect higher revenues partially offset by increased investment in marketing and sales efforts, higher spending on research and development and higher depreciation from data center upgrades.

Customer Management Group (CMG)

CMG revenues were $342.7 million, up 22 percent compared to $279.9 million in the third quarter of 1999, fueled by increases from AT&T, DirecTV, and technical support clients. These revenue increases were partially offset by decreases in traditional, program-based services and international revenues.

Operating income for CMG increased 42 percent to $42.1 million, up from $29.6 million in the same period last year. Operating margin improved to 12.3 percent in the third quarter 2000 versus 10.6 percent reported in the comparable year-ago period. This continued margin improvement stems from profit flow-through from higher revenues and the ongoing benefits of cost reduction programs.

Mr. Orr concluded, "As we look to the remainder of 2000, we will continue to develop unique billing and customer care services and seek out strategic acquisitions or partnerships, in an effort to enhance further our integrated suite of end-to-end solutions (jargon) end-to-end solution - (E2ES) A term that suggests that the supplier of an application program or system will provide all the hardware and/or software components and resouces to meet the customer's requirement and no other supplier need be involved.

Compare: turn-key solution.
. In a short amount of time we have significantly ramped-up our eCRM capabilities and we will continue to improve upon our ever-evolving world-class billing and customer care technology that has served our clients since the first wireless phone call was placed in 1983."
