2002 OPERATING REVIEW

Transcom, Europe’s largest CRM operation by geographical footprint, delivered a solid performance in 2002 despite increasingly adverse economic conditions. An important aspect was the development in Transcom’s cash position with 2002 closing liquid funds (including €7.1 spent on acquisitions) of €23.2million (€17.6 million). This confirms Transcom has the ability to generate substantial free cash flow and as a result can pay for acquisitions through internally generated cash flow. Net sales for the year increased to €228.5 million (€215.3 million) with the gross margin rising to 22.1% (21.2%). There was a 143% increase in operating profit in 2002 to €5.6 million (€2.3 million) and a full year positive net income of €2.4 million (€-0.8 million). Importantly, several new contracts were signed at the end of 2002.

The acquisition of 75% of Gestel announced in July, one of Spain’s leading call center operators, from Banco Santander Central Hispano S.A. (BSCH), continues to perform according to plan. This acquisition has given Transcom leverage in the financial services sector in one of the fastest growing CRM markets in Europe. Accordingly, Transcom is pleased to announce that on the back of this it has secured additional business from Cigna Life Assurance and has won a new contract with Citibank Espana SA, in Spain to provide credit card telesales and sales force field management solutions.

In addition to this, elsewhere in Europe, Transcom has secured new business contracts with amongst others: Dun & Bradstreet, one of the largest database management companies in the world, to provide CRM services, initially in Germany; Olivetti Technost, a world class Italian technology company, to provide telesales and technical helpdesks; Fortum, the Nordic Energy company, to provide overflow services; and ONCF, Morocco’s public train service operator, to provide customer care and reservation services. In total all the new contracts will generate €15 million in annualized revenues for Transcom.

Sales growth of 6.1% for 2002 was lower than would have been anticipated at the beginning of 2002. This was due to the aforementioned economic climate as well as non-performance of certain contracts, particularly those related to those European resellers using Worldcom’s facilities. The gross margin improvement for 2002 would have been better were it not for the fact that in Q4 the cost of sales rose more than net sales. This was due to specific costs associated with Denmark in Q4, where additional closure costs of €1.3million were incurred. This was primarily due to sickness rates rising and productivity falling as a result of the closure announcement. The closure of Copenhagen and Helsinki is now completed and no further associated costs are anticipated.

Transcom is and will continue to benefit from, the additional capacity and increased efficiency levels arising from the opening of new call centers in Tulle (France), Halle (Germany), Vordingborg (Denmark), Borås (Sweden), Casablanca (Morocco) and Riga (Latvia) during 2001 and Lecce (Italy) in 2002, as well as the acquisitions of Neltélink (Lithuania) and Gestel (Spain) in 2002. This impact of this efficiency drive is demonstrated by a reduction in overflow and sub-contract business to 3^{^rd} party suppliers, which was reduced from 9.8% of revenue for 2001 to 7.5% for 2002.

The Gestel acquisition expanded Transcom’s capacity to more than 7,700 employees in 30 call centers servicing 17 countries. Transcom’s geographical expansion will continue, with particular focus on the establishment of further new operations in Western Europe.

During the last quarter of 2002, the regional structure was changed, splitting up the Baltic and Nordic countries, with two new regions being created: The Northern region, consisting of Sweden, Denmark and Norway; and the Eastern region consisting of Finland, Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia. This change will facilitate further expansion into Eastern Europe in 2003.

Transcom has continued focusing on cost control with the closure of its facilities in Copenhagen and Helsinki. The Vordingborg (Denmark) and Tallinn (Estonia) facilities will absorb this capacity. This will result in significant cost savings for Transcom and demonstrates the continuing commitment to improving margins by operating from the most cost-efficient locations. The opening of the new CRM operation in Lecce, Southern Italy, in November 2002, reinforces this focus.

Transcom derives a significant proportion of its income from its principal client, Tele2, the leading pan-European telecommunications service provider. This relationship continues to enable Transcom to organically develop its largest call center network in Europe. However, an important development in 2002 was the change in the percentage of Transcom’s sales not related to the Tele2 group, which increased to 25% in Q4 2002, compared to 18% at the end of 2001. Given the previously discussed development in new business contracts, Transcom expects this trend to continue.

The economic climate adversely impacted the CRM industry in 2002, through slower than expected growth and delays in the outsourcing decision making process. Datamonitor, the leading market analysis company estimates that the outlook for 2003 is more encouraging, as companies will be increasingly forced to make cost saving decisions and outsource their CRM operations. Transcom has a steadily improving prospect list is well placed to benefit from this as the recent contract wins demonstrate.

FINANCIAL REVIEW FOR FULL YEAR 2002

Sales increased by 6.1% to €228.5 million (€215.3 million), primarily due to the consolidation of the Gestel acquisition from 1 July 2002.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization rose by 30% to €19.0 million (€14.6 million).

Operating income for the 2002 consequently more than doubled to €5.6 million (€2.3 million). Transcom reported a pre-tax profit of €5.0 million compared to (€1.4 million), whilst the Group reported a €2.4 million profit after tax, compared to a loss of €0.8 million for 2001. Transcom reported earnings per share (before dilution) of €0.04 for 2002 (€-0.01).

Cash flow from operations for 2002 was up by 50% at €15.4 million (€10.3 million). Capital expenditure fell substantially to €8.4 million (€13.7 million) due to the reduced number of call center openings during 2002. Transcom spent €7.1 million on the Gestel acquisition in 2002. This accounts for the substantial majority of the acquisition cost with the remainder to be paid in Q1 2003. The working capital movement was €4.3 million (€10.6 million).

Transcom had liquid funds of €23.2 million (€17.6 million) at 31 December 2002, after taking account of the money paid for the majority of the Gestel acquisition. Long term debt of €15.5 million remained at the same level as at 31 December 2001. The equity to assets ratio at 30 September was 56.9% (59.6%).
