Forward-Looking Statements Disclosure and “Safe Harbor” Note:

This news release contains statements, estimates, or projections that constitute “forward-looking statements” as defined under U.S. federal securities laws. In some cases, one can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “will,” “expect,” “estimate,” “think,” “forecast,” “guidance,” “outlook,” “plan,” “lead,” “project” or other comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections. These risks include, but are not limited to: (i) the loss of a significant client or significant business from a client; (ii) the future financial performance of major industries that we serve; (iii) our inability to protect personally identifiable data against unauthorized access or unintended release; (iv) our inability to maintain and upgrade our technology and network equipment in a timely manner; (v) international business and political risks, including economic weakness and operational disruption as a result of natural events, political unrest, war, terrorist attacks or other civil disruption; and (vi) those factors contained in our periodic reports filed with the SEC, including in the “Risk Factors” section of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

document is given as of the date of the particular statement and we assume no duty to update this information. Our filings and other important information are also available on the investor relations page of our web site at www.convergys.com

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.

Management uses free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow, excluding the second-quarter 2010 HR Management sale-related payments, to assess the financial performance of the company. Convergys’ management believes that free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are useful to investors because they relate 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 and adjusted free cash flow facilitate management’s ability to strengthen the company’s balance sheet, to repurchase the company’s stock, and to repay the company’s debt obligations. Management also believes the presentation of these measures will enhance the investors’ ability to analyze trends in the business and evaluate the Company’s underlying performance relative to other companies in the industry. Limitations associated with the use of free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow include that they do 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 using both the non-GAAP measures, free cash flow and adjusted 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 these non-GAAP measures beyond the purposes described above.

Management uses operating income, net income and earnings per share data excluding the second-quarter 2010 restructuring and HR Management related costs to assess the underlying operational performance of the continuing operations of the business for the year and to have a basis to compare underlying operating results to prior and future periods. These charges are relevant in evaluating the overall performance of the business. Limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP measures include that these measures do not include all of the amounts associated with our results as determined in accordance with GAAP. Management compensates for these limitations by using the non-GAAP measures, operating income, income from continuing


operations, net of tax and diluted earnings per share excluding the charges, and the GAAP measures, operating income, income from continuing operations, net of tax and diluted earnings per share, in its evaluation of performance. There are no material purposes for which we use these non-GAAP measures beyond those described above.

The Company presents the non-GAAP financial measures EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because management uses these measures to monitor and evaluate the `performance of the business and believes the presentation of these measures will enhance the investors’ ability to analyze trends in the business and evaluate the Company’s underlying performance relative to other companies in the industry.

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. The non-GAAP financial information that we provide may be different from that provided by our competitors or other companies.

Second quarter 2010 results include $15.3 of restructuring charges, including $8.5 of severance related charges and $6.8 of facility related charges to align costs to future revenue growth. The Company uses Customer Management operating income excluding the restructuring charges to assess the current operational performance of the business for the year and to have a basis to compare results to prior and future periods. The charges are relevant in evaluating the overall performance of the business. Limitations associated with the use of the 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 using the non-GAAP measure, operating income excluding the charges, and the GAAP measure, operating income, in its evaluation of performance. There are no material purposes for which we use this non-GAAP measure beyond those described above.

The Company presents the non-GAAP financial measure Adjusted EBITDA because management uses this measure to monitor and evaluate the performance of the business and believes the presentation of these measures will enhance the investors’ ability to analyze trends in the business and evaluate the Company’s underlying performance relative to other companies in the industry.

On a segment basis, Operating Income is the most closely related GAAP measure to the non-GAAP measure Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income or other income statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP and our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. Management uses the non-GAAP measure, Adjusted EBITDA, and the GAAP measure, operating income, in evaluation of the segment’s underlying performance. There are no material purposes for which we use this non-GAAP measure beyond the purposes described above. This non-GAAP measure should be considered supplemental in nature and should not be considered in isolation or be construed as being more important than comparable GAAP measures.

Management uses free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow to assess the financial performance of the Company. Convergys’ Management believes that adjusted 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 and adjusted free cash flow facilitate Management’s ability to strengthen the Company’s balance sheet, to repay the Company’s debt obligations and to repurchase the Company’s common shares. Management also believes the presentation of these measures will enhance the investors’ ability to analyze trends in the business and evaluate the Company’s underlying performance relative to other companies in the industry.

Limitations associated with the use of free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow include that they do not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures as they do not incorporate certain cash payments including payments made on capital lease obligations or cash payments for business acquisitions. Management compensates for these limitations by using both the non-GAAP measures, free cash flow and adjusted 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 these non-GAAP measures beyond the purposes described above. 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.

(a) Second quarter 2010 results include $17.6 of restructuring charges to streamline operations across the businesses, including $15.3 within the Customer Management segment to align costs to future revenue and $2.3 within Corporate and Other largely to reduce headcount.
(b) On February 10, 2010, the Company announced the termination of David F. Dougherty’s role as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the appointment of Jeffrey H. Fox to these roles. The Company recognized expense of $6.2 during the first quarter of 2010 related to this transition.
(c) In March 2010, the Company signed a definitive agreement to sell the HR Management business. The sale was substantially completed in June 2010. Although the results of operations met the criteria for presentation as discontinued operations and therefore are presented on this basis for all periods presented, certain costs previously allocated to the HR Management segment do not qualify for discontinued operations accounting treatment and are required to be reported as costs within continuing operations. The Company classified $2.9 and $9.1 of these costs which previously would have been presented within the HR Management segment within continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.
(d) In the first quarter of 2011, the Company completed the sale of the Finance and Accounting outsourcing line of business for approximately $10, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $7.0 and an after tax of $4.3.
(e) In the first quarter of 2010, a reduction in a previously established non-operating reserve resulted in a positive impact to earnings of $13.0.

Management uses operating income excluding the CEO transition and HR Management related costs and net income and earnings per share data excluding those operating costs and the impact of the gain on the sale of the Finance and Accounting outsourcing line of business and the reduction of the non-operating reserve to assess the underlying operational performance of the continuing operations of the business for the year and to have a basis to compare underlying operating results to prior and future periods. These charges and credits are relevant in evaluating the overall performance of the business.

Limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP measures include that these measures do not include all of the amounts associated with our results as determined in accordance with GAAP. Management compensates for these limitations by using the non-GAAP measures, operating income, income from continuing operations, net of tax and diluted earnings per share excluding the charges, and the GAAP measures, operating income, income from continuing operations, net of tax and diluted earnings per share, in its evaluation of performance. There are no material purposes for which we use these non-GAAP measures beyond those described above.
